Former ally james coming up and Nancy Reagans longest serving chief of staff bush and donald trump delegate rona ronnie mcdaniel. Brother of ron howard and ted cruz supporter. All of that coming straight ahead. Dont miss it. We begin this morning on campaign trail. Bat sl continuing this morning. Trump is speaking out against the republican primary process claiming senator cruz is stealing the election from him. Top Party Officials continue to standby the nomination process. We are millions of votes ahead, millions, and im hundreds of delegates ahead but the system, folks, its rigged. Its a rigged disgusting dirty system, its auditory system. And only a none politician would say it because i dont care. Look, if it doesnt happen, im here for one reason, make America Great again. Now, you may have noticed that when donald loses [laughter] he gets very unhappy. He yells and screams and stamps his foot, he curses and he yells and insults anyone nigh be. As we know in the state of California Wine is best served with cheers. Its no different, some states use a primary system to bind delegates, some states use a caucus system to bind delegates and some states use a Convention System to combine delegates. Maria donald trump is holding a doubledigit lead in new york over ohio john kasich and ted cruz trailing far behind with only 18 of the vote. Joining us with lisa booth and jessica. Hi, maria, good morning. Maria jessica, first with you, your thought on the process, donald trump is talking about rigged process. I get it and i rare i will say what donald trump is saying. But the issue is that his team is totally disorganized actually. The rules are very clear. I thought ted cruzs people had a good response. The rules are available for anyone who can read and understand words and his team his own kids arent even registered in the republican primary so they can vote for him. Ted cruz is on the donald trump has the most purr persuasive to look at it in the other side of the aisle. It stinks. Maria what about that question to you, same issue . Yeah, im actually agreeing with jessica this morning. [laughter] here is the thing. Donald trump and ted cruz are both right to some degree because donald trump is right to point the inconsistencies. If you look at open conventions and independents and democrats can vote in a republican primary, thats kind of messed up too but to reiterate what jessica just said, the reality both candidates and both campaigns have known the rules. Donald trump spent more in iowa than ground game. If youre donald trump, hes smart in the way hes spending it. Hes the guy thats going to blow up the establishment and blow up the system and if he can tag ted cruz and continue to tag ted cruz as part of the system and part of the establishment then hes winning. The language they use is we were talking about it earlier. I think its very consistent with what trump has done and yet hes a major beneficiary of the system. He has 45 of the delegates but only 37 of the actual votes. So he knows the system, he knows it very well. Jon isnt this essential to his whole message not just that hes going to blow up the establishment but the whole system and economy is rigged. Rig is the keyword here. It plays straight to his base. They all believe the system is rigged against them. They are going to identify dagen it also counters the message that he has cyst to the best and brightest. He can run a giant operation and cooperation and im going to get the best people on the planet to negotiate trade deals with china. I think that this is a problem with him that he they were nothing but trump volunteers in the state of colorado and the wall street journal quoted somebody yesterday saying ii reached out as the Trump Campaign and delegate and begging them to get donald trump to come and speak and so there was a they ignore it had state. And hes using this now, but i want to quote charles, trump got 46, 47 of the vote in florida but 100 of the delegates. Well, that looks rigged too. Maria thats right. Winner takes most in a lot of the states. Thats why its so important. I think whats interesting is that cruz is trying to change the narrative into your point. More back to economic which he has better economic versus trumps, i think thats where he is going to resinate in new york which is where the next primary is. Dagen did you say cruz resinate in new york . No, cruzs plan. Maria one of the best tax plans. One thing to point out here at least you look at the Democratic Party and their system. If we want to talk about a rigged system, the democratic primary process is just as rigged and flawed as you could possibly get. Maria Vice President joe biden saying hes not endorsing a candidate in 2016 race but he made an allusion as to whom he might want to see in office. [laughter] maria listen to this. A country is ready for a woman. Would you like to see a woman. No, no, thats all right. I dont mind im not getting into that. I would like to ask one more question. The president and i are not going to endorse because we said let the party decide. Maria do you go. Do you see that as an endorsement . [laughter] hes saying, we are not going to endorse, wink, wink, nod, nod, we would love a woman. Theres only one woman on the democratic side. Clearly i think that president obama and Vice President want this thing to be over, the fact that Hillary Clinton has not close it had deal, the fact that shes not sealed the deal with democratic primary voters does no go well for her and the Democratic Party. Maria i assume so because they want to endorse, but remember mayor giuliani said im voting for trump but this is not an endorsement. The president s comments about investigation of emails, its a kind of hidden support of hillary. I also wonder if they wouldnt have done this right now, if last week sanders hadnt qualified her as secretary of state, we voted for the war in iraq as well. Dagen when you hear president obama talk about Hillary Clinton, when you hear joe biden talk about her, theyre really interested in themselves and their record. Legacy. Dagen i dont want to say they dont care about her, they care about her to the extent that it reflects them. [laughter] jon shes having such a hard time closing the deal with everybody. Even the Vice President doesnt want to come ten seconds in defense of Hillary Clinton. What i would say even going back to the delegate issue, the Bernie Sanders campaign theyre saying the game is rigged, we want to superdelegates to come over here. Shes 2. 4 million votes ahead of him. Its not really the same thing thats going on on the right and the superdelegates as in 08 when obama came in and was the front runner they did switch. Bernie sanders is trailing substantially. Hes also winning very low population states with huge white populations and new york is a real task of diversity. Shes up 30 points with none white voters. Jon shes way ahead. Way ahead. Point out the fact that it is flawed if someone wins wyoming but someone walks away with more delegates. Fact that she has a race against a 74yearold socialist who has essentially served as a potential protestor taking a government paycheck, no wonder hes into redistribution of wailt because he has been living off of taxpayers all his life. The fact that she hasnt closed the deal is pathetic. Maria coming up, while the tsa makes security screening a nightmare for passengers, most airports dont even check employees.

The tsa says the agency is taking steps to increase worker security across the u. S. And airports will provide a vulnerability report at the end of the month. Cant wait for that. And the usa is no longer the top country to achieve the American Dream. That is according to new York Federal Reserve president William Dudley while speaking at a conference in association for housing development. While income mobility in the United States has been relatively unchanged remains well below other nations, so achieving the American Dream is not the highest for children, children born in this country and america. He talks a lot about the fact that americans arent living up to their potential. Well, i dont think i think they can live up to their potential with the tax rates sitting where they are, what are they supposed to do . Maria im surprise that William Dudley said this, where do you get the freedoms in america to achieve such a dream . Where . Jon this is exactly what people should be talking around this president ial election because the facts are there and we have to look at them and figure out how we are going to deal with them. Its not just income mobility, when you look at the job market, theres not as much churn as the job market. Thats how you move up the income ladder and the data show very clearly, its not happening. Something changed in this economy around the time that the tech bubble burst in 2000 and this is what politicians its also important. People looked at the fed for too long to solve our economys problems, here is a fed official saying, you know, what theres Something Else going on and we have to have other people to fix it. John, its a great point. Disposal income for middleincome people its flat. Where do you get growth . Thats what it comes back to . Is it Federal Reserve or highdebt levels prior to 67 . Maria the death of the American Dream. Jon he didnt call it the death of the American Dream. Maria no long ter place for the American Dream. Jon greater in canada right now than the United States. He wasnt calling it death. Dagen i hate it when people talk down this country. I feel like they are talking down the spirit of the American People. Maria thats how i feel too. Cheryl people want to work, they just dont get the opportunity. Dagen regulations from the white house and seven years crushing, how about not a politician who has come along in a generation to try and start a business and actually jon i will give you Something Else, dudley is a democrat. He was talking about the success of School Choice. We need more School Choice voucher program. This is a democrat who is saying, we have to look at how to fix the educational system that could be a republican issue if they took it. Come from chicago we have a few problems with education and upward mobility because of that. I think thats a great point. It goes back to where do you get growth, from the Federal Reserve. No, its not. You have to get the regulations out of the way. We have to try to get and we are going to get more. Thats the problem. You are layering and layering instead of peeling to let entrepreneurs doing what they do best. Maria high taxes in the state of new jersey, another major issue pushing out, world cup women, u. S.

You are among those calling overhaul of those on tax code. All of us on the set agree. Tell us about the whole david tepper thing, he calls a huge hole in new jersey. What does that say . Millionaires and billionaires have been leaving for a long time. 70billion worth of wealth left from 2004 to 2008. This is continuing braz my friends across the aisle deny the fact that the hightax states are causing a problem. Its simple, its too expensive. Maria all of the top states where you see people move Companies Included and its new jersey, new york, connecticut. Look at ge leaving the state of connecticut because of taxes. Dagen its so easy. Its not a conversation about new jersey versus canada or france. Its a conversation about new jersey versus florida. Maria and texas. Dagen where the weather is better quite frankly, no state income tax, low tax burdens and dont politicians get that . No, they dont get it. If your constituency are unionse about policy. That is the bottom line. People arent going to get it. We have state you cant afford to die in new jersey, the state income tax is high as 9 and you have incredible property tax problems as well. So people are leaving. Dagen lets be clear. They have a state tax and inheritance tax on the people who inherit. Jon the politics are really hard. The time where income inequality is getting worse. How do you sell to the public that we are going to reduce taxes for the wealthiest people of the state . First you have to bring business into the state. Without business and without people paying taxes, you cant help anyone. You have to get that first. You have to be competitive. Our country is shrinking. You can move very easily to another state. New jersey and other states have to realize that. Maria i dont think it is such a hard sale, frankly. You may think its a hard sale because of talking point thats been stuffed our throats now for years that the rich do not pay taxes. Thats the problem. Thats the democratic point thats inaccurate and a lie. Thats what the fact is. Jon one is inequality is getting worse and the other is what do you do about it. You are talking about bringing business in. We cant have a discussion. They wont discuss reduce a state income tax and we have courts dictating policy in new jersey, so our hands are tide with respect to even restructuring the school formula. Maria real quick, what can you do . Get on shows like this and educate people that we have to change our new jersey tax policy. Chris christie tried to do that. Jon democrats, im sure, are going to be attacking tepper. They say hes leaving for some other reason. [laughter] maria he wants to spend time with his family. [laughter] dagen he needs vitamin c.

New concerns over the sake of virus that the center for Disease Control calling the virus scarier than initially thought. The cdc asking congress for 2 billion in emergency funding to continue fighting the mosquito borne disease. Joining us now, fox News Medical Team member dr. Marc siegel. Always good to see you. How would you characterize the zika virus . We have to be careful because what they are finding out is that it is actually more problematic in the human brain than we thought before. It really can get stem cells are not logical cells before they fully develop. It can affect coatings of neurons a lot like multiple sclerosis. It can lead to eye problems. But that is not the same thing as saying its still not a virus. The vast majority of cases commit 80 of the time it has listened to. It hasnt taken hold here yet. The virus which is very similar and affects has never taken hold it there. Cdc has to be another. That said the 580 million left over from a over from ebola may not be enough. I dont like it when fear is that drivers so i want to say is something we have to take more seriously than we thought. Still not something to panic on. True to that is largely people of travel to places like puerto rico where brazil is problematic. Occasionally is red, but heres the part i like. At the National Institute of allergy and Infectious Diseases is really using this plea for more money as a way to raise awareness and get the vaccine into development. We get the vaccine that could be used all over the world to slow this down. I always liked the way he approaches. This isnt like ebola that you can get it overseas and spread it in the United States. This is something spread that mosquitoes. Train to contact as well. Much less, but yes. Unless it takes root in that mosquitoes in the southwest. Dagen thats the concern as we enter the summer months, will it take root. How do we prevent that question i can say the usual mosquito prevention things. We can get mosquitoes not down. Im a bottle cap or in a rundown house in really poor areas. Related virus never took hold here. Im wondering if theres something about the climate and the way houses are set to appear. Maybe its different in brazil. I dont want to be left holding the bag when it happens. As the summer comes back to educate prevention. Maria we dont have mosquitoes here in the u. S. We do have them. They are similar to the ones, but for some reason theyve never taken off what taken off with a related virus. Dagen that the issue is the help break has grown in south america, here in the United States during the summer when mosquitoes become a serious problem with the weather. For 300 cases its not going to take hold. The numbers go up your absolutely right. What could people be doing . Mosquito prevention is huge. Wearing long sleeves, using mosquito repellent to me getting at of still water in your backyard. Maybe there could be some pressure on congress to get the rest of the money. They were supposed to be another 1. 9 billion approved. We havent used at the amount of money we have come about more money look at the vaccine done quicker. Dagen this is an extreme question, but should women thinking about getting pregnant to avoid bad or postpone that if they are really worried about it . Absolutely not. But they should not travel to areas where its endemic in pregnant women in the United States should not travel to brazil. Maria you told me that mosquitoes here even though it hasnt taken hold. Or make a prediction. I dont think the number of cases will be anywhere near the explosions we have seen in the sale or the caribbean. You can still get pregnant here. Maria we will leave it there.

Maria what about this other story that the safety rating in the auto sector. Your thoughts on ford beating rivals in this key crash tests. Job. Thats a good thing for america when american lawmakers and hondas and the world. The other thing i said thing i said to be played this back to the economy. Truck sales are booming.

The site or at f1 15 pick up trucks have been consistently the number one selling vehicle for decades and decades and decades. And also because the aluminum body is lighter weight or better fuel economy which also helps despite lower gas prices. What is scared me about this so much as the fact that the task about 40 miles an hour is nothing. It was the only one out of all those strokes that actually not the worlds greatest driver driver, but anyways. They really need to start reevaluating the strokes better way. That is very fast. Dagen you generally hit the brakes before you send them to send it or get flamed into. Maria next government pay us or we wont play. The latest message from the u. S.

Joining us now, the founder and ceo of a network of Career Resources designed to help young women achieve professional success. Good to see you. Thanks for joining us. Youre in touch with millennial saw the time. What do they say about equal pay . Theres a difference between the perception around equal pay with a millennial equal pay within the windows and actual data around how many people negotiating for a raise or more responsibility and thats an issue we wanted to bring to this conversation. Specifically the perception of the land nospace hey theyre equally educated. Men and women to graduate from college at the same rate. So this problem will even itself out. Dagen too optimistic. Thats not the reality. In our survey we pulled over 100,000 of our members and many of the money open an average age 23. 56 didnt know how to negotiate, hadnt asked for a raise, werent sure if they should, if they were about to. Program better prepared. H . Several fact tours under assignments. Equipping young professionals, men and women, but theyre significant data around the fact men feel more comfortable negotiating for much of responsibility with your qualifications than female counterparts. What are the strategies you provide when you say hey this is what you should be doing because they need to know about their salaries are, went to negotiate, when not to negotiate. The three biggest pieces of advice are number one, do your research. This is not the timeo tng it. Analyst by the National Womens law center suggests the average American Woman will earn less than a man the women should stop undercutting themselves. The thing that strikes me about this whole thing with the womens soccer team is they want equal pay. They actually generate more revenue than mens soccer. They shouldnt be asking for equal pay. They should be getting paid more. They are actually generating twice as much revenue. Why say you want equal pay. Maria whats your second piece of advice . Understand how much are supposed to be getting paid. Number two, understand your contacts. If you walk into a starter counting every single penny for fortune 100 that is cut off or having of restructuring, its not the right time to ask for this. Is your manager morning person or night person, does surprise them. Prepare them for the fact you want to have this conversation. Dagen this is about personal responsibility and individual. This is not a conversation about something mandated by the government. This is something driven just by personal initiative which is hugely beneficial. You hear the other different conversations and politicians. Trade to people like Jennifer LawrenceDennis Crutcher hansen of spoken out about the salarycap hit they say they were paid less than their male costars as well. The third pieces dont underestimate the power of body language when you communicate. Go into the conversation open, confident, whatever you need to do to get into the mindset, do it. You need to meditate. You need to remind yourself that youre worth it. Whatever youd need to do to lock into the conversation positive end up in the great things to happen. Your manager will pickup of the energy. They will know you are prepared and they will know this is a collaboration. Dagen by the way, you mentioned celebrity Charlie Stone ron found out through the email leaks issue is getting paid less than her male costar for one of the huntsman films and she demanded equal pay. She said im the woman whose opening this movie. You called it a collaboracollabora tion. It seems that men see that moore is a confrontation and are more aggressive in these situations and women are more likely to say it is a collaboration. Does that really where questioning . Youre not giving us enough. You were not being collaborative with me and becoming more demanding. It depends on the situation. We advocate you begin with a collaboration mind that an approach this as a partnership. The goal is to come into a conversation. This is someone you intend to keep working with after the conversation. You want the person to respect you more after you achieved some sort of outcome out of the conversation. You wanted to be a partnership. If you look at research that has come out of harvard, youll see the most effective negotiators are really, really good at creating a collaboration. This is not about me versus you. This is about here are the facts on the table. What can we work with here. We shouldnt satiate a go, i found out that phil is making 20 grand more than i make in my work double the number of hours. Thats not the approach. If you have another job lined up, you can negotiate in a position of strength as well. Maria brockway, the lineal i do they have a pic in the election . They do. Well have another conversation. Dagen next hour i can explain hillary versus burger king related to the equality millennialist believe exists but does not. Looking forward to it. We will see you soon.

Trailing far behind with 18 of the vote for new york. Trim still way ahead in the delegate count is hoping to take on 95 delegates up for grabs breaking them closer to the 1237 number he needs to secure the nomination. Good morning to you. Queiroz said the New York Times building. We will talk about why we are here and just effective. The the latest poll results for democrats. She maintained her lead over Bernie Sanders with roughly 55 of the democrats favored clinton over sanders. Thats the wall street journal. It was released early this morning. Hillary clinton here in new york city at 9 30 peeking an event sponsored by an organization that helps people find jobs, especially women. The topic here is the pay gap. Inequality in pay for men and women in one of the key people will be making proper know from the u. S. Soccer team. They are a c. Note in the middle of a battle to get equal pay filed a complaint with over 8 million more in revenue for u. S. Soccer. They negotiated a contract less than the men. The controversy will be part of the discussion. Hillary clinton in 9 30. A day of fundraising and later this week for more fundraising to Bernie Sanders led the college crowd. Speaking in rochester that youre accusing diversity in poughkeepsie at the end of the day. Back to you, maria. Adam shapiro in new york. Republican front runner donald trump weighs in on his potential Vice President ial pick. He could see Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and john kasich as possible running mates. Trump added he could also see florida senator marco rubio at the position in his administration. John kasich repeatedly stressing is not interested in the position. First on our show and on hannity last night. Maria, theres a better chance it might be your running mate entrance running mate. Theres zero chance i will be anybodys running mate. If this is a workout of the remain as governor of ohio. Lets bring in president ial candidate and arkansas governor Mike Huckabee. Good to see you. Good morning, maria. Maria would you consider a place in Trumps Administration . I will do what everybody else does. Theres no chance of a lover happened. The vice presidency is the job. Nobody wants but nobody ever turns down. We remember back lyndon johnson, john kennedy couldnt stand each other, ended up being the ticket. Ronald reagan picked george h. W. Bush to be his running mate even after a very bitter primary. A common thing youd end up having people that are an odd couple and i wouldnt necessarily pick anything behind you at this point. Maria after the late donald spoke about marco rubio to say he does have a place in my administration. We have voodoo economics from bush to reagan. Theres history with that. What i was interested in is the only way that i see right now with the polls for the republicans to win is to have a tribe or rubio or trump cruz take it. Otherwise its just like it happened. I dont know if kasich bull run with trump. Thats the only way i can see. The polls are like 10 whether its hillary or Bernie Sanders right now i can strum. They need to bring more republicans together to get this to happen. I understand what youre saying. It is less likely to see trump in cruz then maybe trump and kasich. I think he could pass a Lie Detector Test saying it. Thats because nobody suffered in the job. Hes running for president , not Something Else. If he were to say i probably take that, all of his support for the presidency drops off. Hes doing what he has to do. The reason that would make more sense is because both with cruise and review you have have firstterm senators come the new executive asked. Who really stirred up more of a mold of a barack obama did somebody who has executive experience. And the point of kasich, congressional experience. He brings his delegates and donald trump is the nominee. Dagen governor huckabee, what is the likelihood of trump insulted one of these guys, do you think they would still stand up and fail to your running mate . He hasnt insulted that many people. Hes taken some pretty tough shots at them. Share, he has. This is a rough game. If you cant stand the sight of your own blood, dont run for anything. Ted cruz looking ahead to california again. 172 delicate. Everybody else is in new york. Cruise us in california will decide the gop nomination for the first time in half a century. Listen to what he said breda yesterday. Im going to say a sentence that has not been that in 50 years. California will decide the republican nomination for president. At this point, trump seems to be leading the polls. A lot of it has to do with organization. A smart move is bringing in palmetto ford a seasoned operatives who understands the handtohand combat of the state level. The delegate selection process, brilliant move. Thatll put trump in a different place. But this is going to come down to momentum. Trump is going to come out of new york with a strong locomotive like momentum. He will take all the delegates. The math doesnt work for cruz. A one as the governor about that. Donald trump is the only one of these candidates who has any chance of hitting it. Cruising california, governor. What about new york, pennsylvania and maryland were donald is handedly end of the period pulled the states decide it . Especially if trump sweeps them on picks up delegates. One of the things that cruz has boxed himself into a corner with his constant thing that kasich take it out because its mathematically impossible to win. Under the same scenario if trump gets to a place where there is no way, even if cruz got 100 of delegates, he can win khomeinis followers on device. Will he . Of course he wont. He shows he was disingenuous colin for kasich to get out when its mathematically impossible to win. Train to trump is the rate rose and rate rose on picking the republican delegates. Yesterday on the program she explained the situation because shes a delegate. Ive been a delegate to four conventions. It is great. However, it is the way it has been. There are rules. Maria governor, do you think the system needs to be changed . Is certainly needs to be changed are better explained. Ive been a delegate to a number of conventions as well. One thing that is typically happens is they stay true to that of those women their stay. A state that the state that didnt even vote in other states that this happened in 08 great movies sienna i won the states party gave the delegates to john mccain. Same thing happened. Donald trump on the state. They may be planned by the rules, but theres something to remember. It is one thing to do something they call. Another thing to do some bright. But the Party Operatives and insiders are doing may be legal within the rules. Most fairminded americans say that just aint right. Dagen you just say that this has happened before. Why hasnt it been changed . Why hasnt there been more outrage and say i cant believe thats the way it went down. Because its the party to nominate their person. I dont think its ever had as much animosity directed towards one candidate. In most cases it was a matter of this guy is leading so give it to them. Lets take it away from him. That is a big difference. One thing to say lets give delegates to the person whos more likely to win because he has the most delegates. When you say lets take them away from the guy who has the most delegates because he might win. Thats a whole different thing. That is very divisive to the party. Trained to think so much your insights. Governor Mike Huckabee. Google ranked one of the top places to work in the u. S. Later on, might remain as calm as the safari guide in a similar situation.

The war on terror the belgian prosecutors charging tumor suspects in connection to the attacks on brussels last month. Joining us now is nato commander and for Star Navy AdmiralJames Everett isnt fox news correspondent and intelligence operator that gabrielle. Thanks for joining us. What is your take in terms of where we are in the brussels investigation . We are still at the beginning in a lot of ways because this will spread much across europe. Its because of the flow of the chi hotties coming out of syria. Many Holding European union passports. Even between the various european states. At the end of the day the investigation will tumble on. Sooner or later we will have to deal not only with the symptoms in europe could actually go to the cause and deal with this and syria. This is an election issue as well. Your former nato commander donald trump took aim at nato. Saying its obsolete. I would tell mr. Trump how to run a hotel but i will say nato continues to be highly relevant for the united state. They have stood with us and talk with us in afghanistan, libya, privacy. They are good allies. Wanted to get them to raise their spending the day. Theres no way we should walk away from nato in a period like this. I think when you hear politicians use strong language, is the voice of what people want to hear because they are angry and upset. You have people like at most are beauties whos dedicated his entire life in nose and actually know so we need to do to make our country stronger. We need to be careful what we hear from politicians. The people it served our country for so long have to say. Maria one of the top stories is bovine meeting with Iranian Airlines regarding doing business in the country. Is this the best move . The top story in the journal and talks. It would be one of the top deals between the u. S. Company in tehran. Is great. Theres a huge opportunity right now to develop its airlines. Iran has been isolated. It has not developed its program for years. Its a very old and tired sleep. Back in january iran announced a deal to buy 118 planes which is boeings greatest rival. When you look at it from a Company Perspective its an important thing to do. When you look at trade relations and what they do for diplomatic relations thats an important aspect to consider as well. Doesnt make it harder for the United States is unsanctioned iran are cracked down if they violate any terms of this agreement that we laid out . When we have commercial interests tied together, how do we force them to stick by their word . First you have to keep this in perspective. Boeing received a license to have discussions with iran about this. That would require further license at this point. They are also not talking about tech transferring technologies. Not giving the technology to build their room. To your point, slapping sanctions back on, sometimes you have to give country something to lose. When you look at american soft power and sanctions, it is a carrot on a stick. If we are selling them a lot of airplanes, do we feel like we have more to lose . It depends how you look at it. If you slap sanctions back on, opportunities are there. If you look in terms of an American Business doing a good deal, thats something to be said. The issue of wanting to kind of reopen the communication line between people in iran and people in western countries. The best way to sell people on western values is given the opportunity to travel to western countries. People are actually allowed to travel to do business around the world. That the best way to let them see american western values. Maria what is your take on this in terms of boeing tried to get a foothold in iran . You need to put it in perspective that if we dont tell this airplanes or european competitors will do so. Having taken away the overall global sanctions against iran at this point the battle although a close one is to make the sale. On the other hand weve got to be clear eyed about what iran is going to do with the money and the prophets that come from this. They will continue to destabilize the region. Its a mixed picture but on balance its about right. These are discussions. The chairman of the joint chiefs encouraging the military to get out of the race. Your thoughts. I agree with that. One of the great strengths of this republic is the fact that our activeduty military are apolitical. They do not get into politics. The chairman of the joint chiefs, general joe dunford werent currently the dean is very wise to make that kind of advice and guidance. It is critical to have the separation between civilian authority in the activeduty military. Especially since this week there is a comment that we are not going to listen to donald trump if he tells to do Something Like carpet bombing or something that is not in step with what the military thinks is appropriate. The last thing the military wants to do is put a block between the American People in the military are between people who made the some point in the future. Its important to keep the separation. At the same time as we watch the current election process, politicians are saying things. People running for president saying things that may not be the best thing for the country or military. Its frustrating to people serving right now because they cannot have their voice heard about what is actually correct and thats why its important to listen to the people of certain dedicated their lives to bolivia with a separate. Great conversation. Thanks so much. Good to see you. Thanks so much. Maria straightahead and the fast food chain chickfila. What item will no longer find on the menu.

Train for the bank has agreed to pay 5 billion to settle claims benefit mortgage Bond Investors headed into the 2008 financial crisis. The settlement also resolves state and federal investigations into the sale of mortgages. The agreement includes 1. 8 billion to help struggling borrowers. Tesla recall in 2700 model x suvs comes after the carmakers own tests found that the third row seats could not forward in a crash. The vehicles are made before march 26. They were sold in the u. S. Tesla says customers should not use the third row seats until the repair. Finally this. Chickfila is damning iceberg lettuce because the vp of many strategies that the chickens named friends are tasteless and attrition must. Iceberg lettuce is at the bottom of the solid food chain and has no nutritional value. Farmers in chickfila executives say hes more of a tailspin. Im sure caleb will be a big hit with chickfila customers. Dagen i think they got rid of the coleslaw and are doing to kill salad. Cheryl yeah, they did. Maria nothing to do with what went on with chipotle and they couldnt figure out the problem. Maria no, not a foodborne illness. Bernie sanders right of return dramas that bolstered his rate or this is a great example and nobody is gone to jail. That really helps him resonate with the millennials and other people that is the case. The 5 billion is obviously fairly significant. It really just underscores so much animosity between 2008. Guffaws of the administrations strategy bail out the banks and use them as piggy bank to take back fines and fees. They want to see people held accountable. They didnt want to see money being transferred off the ball straight back into washington. Dagen their other stories. This is interesting Goldman Sachs is leading a lobbying effort to keep written from to keep britain from leaving the e. U. The referendum on whether britain leads the e. U. Is june 23rd. A lot of people feel the banks will be the losers. In particular Goldman Sachs because they have so much exposure. With a story today the 500 million investment. They have a lot at stake keeping london as the Financial Hub not only of europe, but the world economy. Maria they are trying to lobby that britain does that leave the e. U. More talk that they might then not. Oppose the last time shifted a lot in the weeks right before it. We have to wait and see how this plays out. Everywhere you look, around the world voters are voting against the status quo. It is a real. Maria the other stories jpmorgan will kick off thanks to my before the bell. Today we see a story that is getting under the equity business. Trading continues to be under pressure. And apparently one of the big issues for major banks had the Net Interest Margin is what theyre looking now. I was doing some research on Credit Unions in the United States and that this into an overview of what the current credit situation is. They give three scenarios for Interest Rates. The first it was negative for net interest are the third one was flat. That really underscores the overall interest. Im not a good scenario right now for banks. If they want to expand their Net Interest Margin its very simple. Stop buying. Stop by a. Stop by a treasury bond think i would make love to companies and to consumers. Those are highermargin love. Is harder to get him on. Not necessarily the bank but after the 2008 financial crisis. Its really hard good i dont know when the last time you got along with the 85yearold mom i went with them its a nightmare. All the things you have to come up with and the rules have changed significantly. Im not a bleeding heart for the banks. I would say it is not as simple as make a loan. The mortgage industry restrictions have tied up. Im talking about commercial and industrial loans. Auto lending has been strong. This is what low Interest Rates are supposed to do. The whole point is to drive investors and banks into going after. Its about taking some risk to the American Economy was built on much but it was willing to take. If we are not willing to take risk, archon missing getting better. Maria the financial collapse was built on making better money. We cant be so fixated on what happened that we forget about the risktaking that led to the great companies. Dagen its been nine years. Not in a 2005. Dagen look at the lack of interest in owning stocks and taking risk to start a business. Some of that is rooted in the financial crisis because people thought retired moms and dads got so burned owning bank stops in the first place. Credit availability matters french printers without question. We go back to when it was really easy when people were using credit cards, using their own own homes to start business in no one. I think its a great point. Its getting back to watch berger is and how we get that going. I look at what can congress do. Get off the regulations. Make it simpler to start a company. Make the tax system make more sense to encourage risktaking. Dagen ideas in the Silicon Valley flooded with money. So theres money for his son. They can take those ideas public. Treated to that investment money is drying up somewhat. Tomorrow that sets the tone for markets of the major banks. It all depends on what is priced in. Are we expect in a negative quarter . Are we expect dean weakness . Net interest margins are under a lot of pressure. You shouldnt expect strong numbers that bank. Or the end of last week, the worst performing group or the financial stocks. It seems like the analysts have only caught up in the last week on how pretty lousy the numbers could be with a negative 6 earnings decline expected when it was flat a week ago. Maria theyve been cutting numbers of the last week. Dagen but the stocks are down. Maria bank of america on thursday in the rest tomorrow. Coming up, the secret to Ronald Reagans success. As president , Nancy Reagans longestserving chief of staff if they could into the reagan white house. Back in a minute. Maria welcome back to you nospaceon name our presidency is mentioned more than that of Ronald Reagan. What was it that made reagan such a memorable president . Joining us right now is Nancy Reagans longestserving chief of staff and the author of the book, true reagan. Jim rosebush with us right now. Thanks for joining us. What was that made reagan so special . It was his character. He kept is so quiet no one knew. I run today knows her reagan did. They know they felt safe under Ronald Reagan. They knew he was protecting them if they dont know what gave him the strength of character. It was really his upbringi it. Very spiritual, but much like Abraham Lincoln who grew up on the reading two books. The works of shakespeare and the bible. Just like break in as well. That gave him not only a moral code of values, but it also gave him an ability as an oratory because he patterned his speaking was really after the phrasing of the bible and he used 96 of his speeches. He either quoted from the bible or make reference to it. Previous president president s have done that an average of 46 . Dagen i miss his sense of humor. I went back when mark are reviewing donald trump were kind of throwing verbal jabs at each other. I went back and watched a lot of reagans humor from his speeches. Tip oneill would be sitting behind him during the state of the union doubled over laughing. It was very often selfdeprecating humor which i think we miss on the National Stage or later some politicians. Reagan was guileless. He left the white house if a man he came in as. He had the same on his desk about the big resolute desk given to the American People by queen victoria. It said there is no limit to what a man can do or how far he can go if he doesnt care who gets the credit. This is part of the genius of Ronald Reagan. He didnt care about polls. He didnt care if he was getting accolades or not. That allowed him to use humor and a selfdeprecating way and it worked. You are Nancy Reagans chief Nancy Reagans chief of staff. What did you see it her a supportive relationship that stood out . Maria elegance. Yes, she was very elegant. A score of using humor, nancy reagan would get on the phone with comedy writers. I would often observe her and listening to comedy writers hearing Great Stories because the president , people line up outside the oval office told the president the daily joke. It was a competition on the staff. I always felt inadequate if i didnt have a good story. He loved to hear Great Stories and he would roar with laughter. Of course you have to tell them, but he would also be hes telling that joke again because he would reuse them. I want to give back to the face. We dont talk a lot about it. Theres a lot of negative narrative to her. The faith is so important to drive so many decisions. I think about reagan reaching out to people beyond the United States to help them tear down this wall. That is not just driven by your views on being a republican are democrat or having u. S. Values. Its really about having christian values. Reagan fought for individual liberty and he felt that was a godgiven talent. Lets go to the speech which he brought up. The most iconic words of the last century of mr. Reagan, tear down this wall. If you read the rest of the speech, he says i have for tearing down every wall that is built between a man and individual liberty, between a man and his god. The most famous words are tear down this wall. He says i want to tear down all walls that separate a man. Which is what the pope was talking about when he went after tribe. This stuff Still Matters and why its important. Maria what would he think of donald trump in his wall . You would be mortified. Remember when reagan talked about the shining city on the hill in his last speech to the American People for the oval office, he said ive always been asked what i really meant that the shining city on the hill. He said i see it as a city with open gates. He wanted everyone to come here and enjoy the freedoms we have as americans. But i think he never wouldve envisioned people coming here to destroy america. That wouldve been anathema to him because he loved his country so much in it that his countrymen so much. That is why we felt safe with Ronald Reagan. I think it is so important that we talk about peoples bodies especially when they are at the head of the country. It can then drive so much of the policy. To hear about this reagan.

Hillary clinton will be speaking here at the times is part of the cluster event to talk about inequality, the pay gap between men and women. Joining me one of the people on the panel with mrs. Clinton. Make him a piano from u. S. Soccer in the issue that has become a major headline in the past couple days because of the complaint the womens soccer team is paid less than the men, even though the women raised more in revenue for u. S. Soccer. What is going to happen next because theres a threat of a boycott of the own eggs. I think the rest that came in a series of events. This didnt just happen in a vacuum. We want to bring light to this issue not only for us in inequality we face, but just as a paradigm shift for womens football, womens sports and women in general. When this was announced at the end of march, i heard people talking about the fact that men brings in more revenue. The argument that the men negotiated a better contract. Its very simple response to that . Its a lot deeper than that. I think there will be years where we generate more revenue than they did as an last year and yours were they generate more revenue than we do and thats okay. In terms of negotiation, its difficult when youre negotiated from an unfair playing field. That is where we did our negotiation from under the ceiling. We are looking to break that ended three for negotiation. Mornings with maria are you surprised him having a discussion with you about pay inequality. 20 years ago women soccer became such a popular sport in the United States and here we are after what we saw in the 1990s that this issue still exists. In a way, yeah. You can look at the landscape of the country and the world at large and know that there is still an issue with womens equity in womens equality. Hopefully we are moving forward in this country in a way that can be a beacon for the rest of the world. One last question. Why do you think hillary will change it up after 20 years nothing has changed . Shes working towards that. To be a woman in the mans world of politics and fight her way to the top is one of the issues shes bringing with her. Mornings with maria thank you for joining us. Maria, back to you. Maria great interview there. The republican side of the race. Ted cruz battle heating up and speaking out against the republican primary process. Ted cruz stealing the election from him. Officials continue to stand by the nomination process. Millions of votes ahead. Hundreds of delegates ahead. But the system folks is rigged. If theyre, dirty system. Maria a brandnew wall street journal nbc news and marist poll is finding donald trump with the lead in new york over John Hilsenrath and texas senator ted trailing far behind at 18 of the bow. Joining us now is the delegate and Republican NationalCommittee Women rana romney mcdaniels. Thanks for joining us. Welcome. Thanks for having me. Maria you are the niece and a trump delegate. In the chair of the Republican Party. I bound myself to the voters of michigan, the majority of voters voted for donald trump. I remain natural in this race but i felt like as the chair i needed to find myself to the will of the people of michigan. Maria share. What are you hearing as it relates to donald trump in this election . Everybodys passionate. We see that with all the candidates. We just had our convention this weekend and delegates were so engaged. Theyre very excited about the process. We had a great convention. Each of the candidates signed a letter affirming that the party abided by the will of the voters in michigan. We feel really great and we are ready to win in november. Maria weve got Monica Crowley here in 19 months. They want to get into this. At that alaska about your thoughts on the process and the delicate system as it is now. Yesterday on the program, republican delicate Georgette Mosbacher weighed in and shes a delegate. Listen to this. I have been a delegate for four conventions. No, it is rigged. However. It is the way its been. There are rules. Maria does it seem unfair to you . I think the process is getting a lot more attention. Our convention as its done for years and years. The candidates knew the rules for while before they even candidates. They knew the rules in place. I dont feel its great. I think its fair but i think it takes a second effort by candidates not to just win the primary but then to create a ground team to go and get their delegates elected to convention. Maria Monica Crowley. I just wanted to ask you because the rules are the rules and this has been Standard Practice on both sides for a long time. Perception is reality and is reality in politics as in life. So from this partially explain the breadth of donald trump, the sort of antiestablishment, antielitist that where the perception is the insiders to have the right track. In the state of colorado, voters didnt get a chance to go to the polls before the selection was made in ted cruz. I think it is feeding into the general perception among the voting public that its just not fair they dont have a voice. Well, i can only speak for my state of michigan. We had record turnout on rj. Web 1. 83 million republicans vote in our state. The Michigan Republican party is very sensitive to that. I dont want voters to feel disenfrandisenfran chised because they need them november. We made a concerted effort to work with each campaign to make sure that their delegates were delegates they want to go through to cleveland. Each campaign felt good about our convention. Thats the right way to do it. We should be listening to the will of the voters and thats what we did in michigan. I cant speak for party chairs across the country, but we set the model for how it should be done. You said in the introduction that you are neutral in this race but we introduced you as a trump delegate. That doesnt sound like a ringing endorsement for the guy you were represented at the convention. Well, as chair i am the one having to heal everybody. I will have to bring them together. Passions are so hyper the rnc rules we had asked members to a candidate. I wish i could remain natural. I chose to buy myself to the majority of voters in michigan. I recuse myself from all of the committee rulings for the rules committee and the Credentials Committee because in the end we have to come together if we are going to win the white house. Republicans recognize that we do not unite behind our nominee, we are not going to win the white house. You support donald trump . I support whoever our nominee is. Maria how do you feel how to heal the divide . Is it more easily achievable than something question eric i think weve made good strides here in michigan. Our convention was very positive. By working with the campaign, by being transparent, by following the will of the voters, delegates that were awarded to each candidate are delegates who will stay with those candidates. Thats the right way to do it. Its going to be a long process and eventually up to our nominee to help a lot of the healing and those candidates you dont get the nomination will have to lead our party as well. Maria i would like to be at the dinner table when you are with your uncle and he came out to stop donald trump a couple months ago. To talk politics with mitt romney, your uncle . Yes, i was in d. C. A week and a half ago and had a good halfhour meeting with my uncle. I let my dad tell him that i was going to be a donald trump delicate. I didnt have that conversation with him. Maria in terms of what just took place in the whole establishment push against trump, how do you see it . Youre an interesting thought to have an opinion on both sides. I feel we have to support our nominee. Part of the reason is because of what happened to that uncle in 2012. There were republicans that stayed home. I run into those republicans occasionally and i say shame on you, you give us barack obama. I feel the same way. We have to support our nominee in 2016. We have to rally around a person because we know what Hillary Clinton will mean for our country. A third term of barack obama and americans can afford that. Maria you do think that trump can beat Hillary Clinton . Our nominee and conservative principles and he looked what governors do across the state from across the country, absolutely our record will stand up and we will beat her in november. Maria will be watching. Good to have you on the program. Inks for having me. Maria two new suspects charged in the Investigation Continues for those responsible for the deadly terror attacks in brussels. Weve got the details after this short break. Conservatives in hollywood.

District judge said a jury could find similarities between the first two minutes of stairway and the 1967 instrumental song by the band spirit. I want you guys to listen. Heres a sample of both gone. First listen to led zeppelin song, stairway to heaven. Okay, here is taurus by the band, spirit. So heres the background. The lawsuit was brought by a trustee for spirit randy wolf. Randy wolf died back in 1997. Jimmy page may have been inspired after he heard the band toured together. Rumors have been around for decades, but the trust he finally said it was time to bring justice to the zeppelin members and it goes to trial next month. Maria they found incredibly similar. I know youre a vague music fan. Dagen i am a big led zeppelin fan and i despise stairway to heaven. It is just one of the most overplayed song in history. Maria what about the similarities to taurus. Dagen the fact it is going to trial is usually significant first and foremost and because you have the loss of the blurred lines, the composers to the marvin family. They lost that. The judgment was reduced but the family got about 7. 5 million. This is 45 years ago. Maria why now . Why now . Why did it take so long . There was the claim. Maria it does sound exactly apparently there is no statute of limitations. Dagen randy wolfer wrote this in that in an interview in the 90s im going to let this go without a lawsuit.

Mornings with maria good morning to you as well. They have everything a cyberthief would want. Social security number, date of earth, address. A couple arson at the higher side will be testified as to just have trusted his agency can be considered to keep the information private. John costin and will appear before the committee for a hearing on cybersecurity on the irs. This comes in a tax day next week and also after the embarrassing incident last year involving the tax collector. The information of as many as 700,000 filers have been potentially compromised. The irs as criminals were able to use the agencys very own cat transcripts portal to target taxpayers. But these did so by using previously stolen personal information. Additional argues that since made the number of the land. In may of last year they hire as reported 114,000 were at risk. The issue of cybersecurity, maria and Tax Information wont be slowing down anytime soon. A massive pool out there for potential to assist the irs reports 2015 with a 128 million taxpayers filed electronically. The hearing a couple hours from now at 1015 this morning. Maria wow. I understand the vulnerability. Lake bergman there. John hilsenrath untreated. This relates to the election. When you see any survey, what you see is the American Peoples trust in institutions and government to tuition is way down. Reports like this is what drives that. We had a major hack last year. The office of Personnel Management the federal database are not particularly secure. The whole question about protecting the taxpayer, how about protecting the taxpayer from the irs. That would be nice. Dagen that is the central debate in this president ial election. Leftbrace is right. Do you want to make your taxes more simple . Do you want to take power away from the federal government . Do you make it or does the government make it . Bernie sanders wants to have a much bigger government. We have donald trump represented republicans who want to raise taxes on the wealthy and get rid of carried interests. Dagen i didnt say raise taxes. I said make the tax code more simple and all of the republican plans, even by those no longer in the race want to make the tax code my point is this playing out along the lines were usually talk about. In terms of Big Government versus small government, donald trump advocates the United States not be the world policeman. He is trying in his comment about nato trying to pay for more of the world. Theres something going on on both sides. It is actually to your Point Crossing over party lines. On one hand you have more libertarian oriented people. Youve got disaffected democrats. You have people who have thought disenfranchised by both parties being attracted to phonies like donald trump. People dont have a sense of what works anymore. We tried tax cuts and didnt get a great economy out of that. We tried Health Care Reform and get a great economy after that. Youve seen all these crosscurrents because its not really obvious. Everyone agrees here the regulatory issues are a problem holding back growth. But when it comes to Something Like taxes, its not obvious whats going to work. Maria this is the underlying problem and debate. That is how you create an environment where businesses will create jobs. The approach is whats being debated. The republicans say you have two create our taxes and a favorable environment to get businesses to actually create jobs and move the needle and economic growth. Maria who makes the best decisions about your life and money . Per descenders has two dozen tax hikes in place. When you look at donald trump and Hillary Clinton and try to distinguish their positions, it not that easy to do. Maria he doesnt think america should pay income taxes. Hillary wants to raise 1. 1 million in new taxes. Bernie sanders wants to raise 1. 7 trillion. We do have an historical record on the jfk tax euros, Ronald Reagan tax cuts, george w. Bush tax cuts. You actually do get something of an economic boom. Maria coming up next, clan powers, brother of ron howard stern rest of this paper the 2016 election on the reaction is received.

Clint howard, brother of director ron howard is wellknown for his long hollywood career, playing parts in popular movies like austin powers, apollo 13 and water boy. Colonel, take a look at this radar. What is it, son . I dont know, sir, but it looks like a giant and joe montana. Joe montana was a quarterback, you idiot. I said joe montanya. Not reading at all. Tag one at 725 psi and falling, fuel cells one and three are oh, boy, whats going on here . Let me get back to you. Maria hes also making waves on the political scene and endorsing texas senator ted cruz for the white house. Clint howard joins me in los angeles. Good to have you on the program, welcome. Good morning, thank you for having me. Maria congratulations on your long career. Why are you endorsing ted cruz . Well, im conservative and from the getgo senator cruz was the most conservativeminded fellow, he believes in the conservative principles of government and so do i. You know, i dont necessarily agree with senator cruz on every issue, but i do believe that his direction of the country, his direction for the country is the way that we should goen as a citizen, i just want to support it as best i can. Maria its interesting say you said, look, im conservative. Do you get backlash for being conservative in hollywood . Obviously, hollywood is not conservative and largely liberal. Does that impact the jobs you get and circles youre in . Tell us about that . Well, not to my face. I honestly can say, i havent been in a casting session and conservative, we dont want you. I think they probably they, i think casting directors may keep is quiet, producers keep a quiet. I have a wonderful advantage, a great older brother who happens to eat dinner on the other side of the table, but he trusts me and he hires me from time to time and for that i really appreciate it and i continue to work in the business. This is my 55th year in the business, i started in 1961, i had my first tax return. Maria its interesting because youre right, youre lucky, you have a famous brother who is calling the shots when he directs and he can put whatever he wants. And weve heard stories from celebrities and actors and talents in hollywood in terms of the backlash that they actually say. Lets talk about ted cruzs policies and what you find so interesting and why you like him because you said hes conservative, but when you look at his Economic Policy and National Security policy, what strikes you . Well, his Economic Policy, i believe is, lets try to make the free market system work and hes a big states rights guy, and so am i. I believe its up to the citizens of the United States to make decisions and i believe he feels the same way. So, economically, you know, im a free market guy, yes, we need some rules and some regulations to keep people from straightout ripoffs and crime, but also, i think that we get the best out of this country when we go for it. And i think hes that kind of guy. He believes in that and i think thats the way this country should go. Maria why and also, i believe we need to stand strong. We need to stand strong internationally and i dont believe we should lead from behind. And i dont believe these last years have done us any good at all. So im looking for a new direction and i think hes got the backbone to stand up for it. Maria whats your take on Donald Trumps popularity and why he seems to be really playing on that last seven years that the prior seven years youre mentioning in terms of leadership . Well, listen, donald trump is phenomenon and i respect him. Hes been he was the star and the cocreator of a hit television show, got a lot of power. That breeds a lot of power, people like him. They know him. I understand that its a tricky sort of political adversary to deal with. I listened to donald trump and i dont hear a lot of specifics. And i know politics is a game where a lot of times youll say things and no way as a politician youre ever going to get that done, but thats your position. I just dont really hear a lot of positions from donald trump and i hear ted cruz take a stand, and i appreciate that, and as a man who has a right to vote thats who im going to vote for. Maria look, hes taken a stand to the extent in the senate by making enemies, calling Mitch Mcconnell a liar on the senate floor and he pushes back and some people might say look, principle do you think what Mitch Mcconnell said was the truth . Don i dont know, i dont know, i wasnt in the room and hes made some enemies and i wonder how this plays into it. Here is a guy who is principled and fights for what he believes in and he is he done a good job in terms of defending the American People and on the other side, how come it took donald trump to get the establishment to back ted cruz, they did it quicking and screaming, well, listen, i think people have to understand that washington and politics has very sharp elbows. The people that participate in it, and its a tough game. I think senator cruz knows politics. Im not sure donald trump really knows politics. Maria well, thats yeah. Im concerned and, you know, i still want to fight for the person that i feel like i want to have lead the country. Maria sure. Because i am certain that its going to come from the Republican Party one way or the other. Maria so, do you think ted cruz then can beat Hillary Clinton . Yes. Maria and if hes not the nominee, will you vote for the nominee . Will you vote for donald trump if that is what it comes to . If donald trump is the nominee for the Republican Party, in a heartbeat, ill vote for donald trump if hes the nominee. Maria youll vote for. Exactly, maam. Maria but youre hoping its ted cruz. Yes, im campaigning im not really campaigning for him, im a citizen. I tell my wife, you know, listen, theres ted cruz, and my friends, and of course, my dad and im getting as many people to Pay Attention to him as possible. I bought my brother the book so he can read about ted cruz, i dont think hes going to vote for him, but im just doing everything i can because i believe in him. Listen, he came out of texas a long shot and hes got a great ground game and thats important in politics and you know, so i think thats one reason recently trumps been claiming foul. I just dont think that trump had the ground game to handle the various caucuses and primaries and the various states. Maria youre absolutely right about that. Yeah. Maria and ted cruz had the ground game. By the way, how do you think that ted cruz will do in california . Because, what, yesterday he said for the first time in 50 years, california will decide who the nominee is, californias right after new york, a week on the 26th, a week and a half later, so, what are your expectations for ted cruz in california. Well, i know that we elected an austrian action actor as the governor so i think anything can happen. I dont know. Maria yeah, thats true. Which way is the wind blowing in california . I dont know, im going to vote and support ted cruz, senator cruz for the republican nomination and i hope that hes got the ground game here in california that will at least make it competitive. And i think he will. I think people are waking up and realizing that, you know, trump may be charismatic and a wonderful man in some regards, but do we really want him being our president. Maria well see. Clint howard, good to have you on the program, sir, thanks so much. Thank you for having me. Maria clint howard joining us this morning.
