But my top priority is to defeat isis. Well ask our sunday panel about the president s optics problem. And our exclusive with senator ted cruz on his controversial call to Police Muslim neighborhoods. We need to be going after where the threat comes from. The threat comes from radicalization. Plus, the war of the wives. The feud between cruz and trump takes a nasty turn. This National Enquirer story is garbage and it has come from Donald Trumps camp. All right now on fox news sunday. And hello again from fox news in washington. We begin with the latest on the investigation into those deadly belgium terror attacks. Belgian Police Charged another suspect who is being investigated as the possible third airport attacker. The one in the hat on the right side of your screen. Today well get exclusive reaction from house intelligence chair devin nunes and republican president ial candidate ted cruz. But first, to fox news senior greg kalkot live from brussels. Hello, shannon. It is an emotional Easter Sunday here in brussels. The crowd is gathering in front of a make shift memorial to the victims of the terror attacks this week. The crowd is growing in size and in noise. Amid news of a break in the investigation into those attacks attacks. Youre right, police now think they could have the other airport bomber, that man seen in the surveillance picture in a hat and jacket. W. Two other suicide bombers. His bomb didnt go off. He fled the scene. Police say it is believed that the man is Faycal Cheffou and is claimed to be independent. He is pushing radical islamic causes. He is charged with terrorist murder. Meanwhile, sad lishgs it is confirmed that two more americans were killed in the attacks this week. Shultz and 29yearold stephanie, his wife. Theyre originally from tennessee and kentucky they work Ford Companies here the past couple years. They loved exploring europe. They were at the airport dropping off their mother after a visit. She was safely through security when the bombing happened. She is safe. Along with two Unidentified Americans who we learned on friday were also killed. That brings to at least four americans dead in these attacks. By the way, the officials now say that death toll that theyve been putting out, 31, includes the bombers. So the actual number of victims is 28. The injured total, even higher today, 340 including 12 americans. Many of them suffering severe burns. Many of them had their eardrums blown out by the blast. Especially in the metro. I was literally deafening. There was going to be a march against fear today here in brussels. That in spobs to the terror it off on the request of officials. Police saying they have their handsful dealing with security and, again, what we apparently have been watching here behind us is a bunch of rightwing individuals, far right, who are saying things against immigrants in this city, in this country and saying that has to do with the terrorists that weve been seeing. Theyre clashing verbally with the mourners here who have been peacefully marking the terror attacks. Again, an motional and a sad sunday, Easter Sunday here in brussels. Back to you, shannon. Greg kalkot, thank you. Senator ted cruz called for Law Enforcement to conduct surveillance in muslim communities. We spoke exclusively with senator cruz this weekend and i asked him what that proposal looks like. Active Law Enforcement. What that looks like is engaging the problem, using every tool, Law Enforcement, national security, intelligence, military abroad to defeat the enemy. Well hear more from senator cruz in a moment. First, lets get reaction from devin nunes. Welcome to fox news sunday. Thank you. I want to start by asking you about reports citing International Intelligence officials saying that isis has trained some at least 400 fighters and has deployed them across europe to carry out more attacks. What is your understanding of the imminent threat to europe right now . What i always advise people is these numbers youre hearing are only the numbers the Intelligence Community knows about. Think what is more concerning is that the spectrum of threats continues to grow because we know the people that we know about but we dont know the people that have went to syria and iraq and come back. Altogether, thats probably in and then theyre training locals. So theyre going to the refugee populations, training people, bringing people into the fold, going to the mosques and you look at places like belgium, france, germany, turkey, other parts those are areas that i think with high populations that have to be concerned about more attacks in the future. With that in mind, i want to play a little bit of the president s weekly address in which he talked about taking on isil and thought is part of the puzzle. Heres what he said. As we move forward in this fight, we have to wield another weapon alongside our air strikes, our military and our diplomacy. And thats the power of our example. Our openness to refugees fleeing their violence. Several suspects linked to a number of the terror attacks across europe were posing as syrian refugees. Are you confident that the u. S. Screening and vetting process is move forward with what the president is suggesting . , no im not. And thats why the house of representatives last year asked for a pause in the Refugee Program. I want to be clear that i do believe that we need to accept refugees from around the globe, especially from places that are war torn that, have dictatorships. We need to be the beacon of light around the globe. But at this point, the congress has spoken clearly that we need to pause on this program when you look at refugees that are coming from potential isis or al qaeda infested areas including iraq and syria. However, the senate will not vote on it. So the Senate Democrats have killed the opportunity to vote on a pause on this Refugee Program. The long they are Refugee Program goes unchecked, the longer that we dont take care of isis and al qaeda, the more that this threat will grow day by day. U. S. , isis sympathizers, some carried out attacks, some charged with supporting the organizational war hoping to get involved with the organization or support it. With that in mind, do you think that there are operable cells or lone wolves trained or inspired by isis here in the u. S. Today . Yeah. So i think its really important to always refer to this as isis and al qaeda. Because a lot of people forget that al qaeda actually carried out a very similar attack in europe just last year in paris. Isis and al qaeda are kind of a strange cousin. Theyre competing. But at the same time, they have the same goal which is to attack our allies in the west and ourselves. So when you look forward, going forward, its not just about the people who went to iraq and syria and come back. Its not just about the people we dont know about. Its also the capability that isis and al qaeda are using over rooms that we cannot get into that are radicalizing people here in the United States, what we call self radicalization. After the attacks in brussels you said from my vanlt tage point, it looks like it was targeted against merns americans to some degree. There are four americans dead. Is that still your opinion that americans were the target . Well, i think we start out with the fact that we know that americans and our allies on the west are always a target. What i was talking about referring to is that as the facts come together, as the Belgian Police and investigators begin to put this together if, it does end up that the American Airlines were targeted and perhaps the metro station close to the u. S. Embassy was targeted, if those if that ends up being a fact, then, yeah, i think that you have to say that americans were at least just like when they attacked the attack in paris which appeared to be targeted towards an american rock band. And furthermore on this point, what i think people forget also is that when you have people who were born in europe who hold western passports that travel over to iraq and syria and get trained by either isis or al qaeda types or get radicalized in europe by isis or al qaeda types, they hold western passports. So they can then transit into the United States. And thats what we remain concerned about. Its why the fbi director said that there are investigations going on in 50 states. President obama this week took some criticism for continuing with trips that were long planned, attending a baseball game with raul castro in cuba, tangoing in argentine yachlt argentina. Your routines, if you part with your life and schedules that terrorists end up winning. Heres a bit of what he had to say along those lines in argentina. It is very important for us to not respond with fear. We defeat them if part by saying you are not strong. You are weak. True . So what needs to happen here is that the Obama Administration submitted their strategy to the United States congress which was a seven page strategy on defeating what they call extremism. First of all, you have to define the problem. Look, i think its fair whether people say what is your strategy . Well, look, the president of the United States should not be hanging out in cuba with a known financier of terrorism. What the president of the United States should be doing is calling together all our allies including those in the middle east that want to sit down together as leaders at a neutral location, put all the intelligence on the table so that we can find out where all the pockets of isis and al qaeda are. Because remember, we have colonies now that have spread from western africa all the way to Southeast Asia and now it looks like they have a command and control structure in parts of europe. So what the president should be doing is sitting down with these leaders, identifying the problem, and then coming up with a plan and asking all the countries to participate more than they ever have in what is really going to be a long war, a generational war against radical islamic extremism. Mr. Chairman, were just about out of time. I want to ask you quickly, so much of the operations, the alleged Training Camps are supposed to be centered in sear yachlt theres been easy travel back and forth for the suspects there. Does the u. S. Bear if i responsibility for the continuing on going chaotic years in syria . Well, look, theres never really been a plan. So when you look at what needs to be done in iraq and syria, that is a containment strategy. That is not a strategy ultimately to defeat isis. Because isis has spread over to north africa. So a lot of the fighters and weapons and money, et cetera, have been coming from north africa into syria and iraq. So its a containment strategy thats not working. We know its not working because the threat that was identified by the Intelligence Community several years ago was that worst thing that could happen is allowing people to go from the west into iraq and syria and then back out. So theres just a failed worse. You have the secretary of state just on friday saying that were winning against syria, against this seems to me to be just delusional while at the same time you got the president of the United States dancing down an n. Argentina when he should be meeting with the leaders of europe and other allies to try to take the fight to the enemy. Chairman nunes, thank you so much for joining us to day. My pleasure. Time now for our sunday group. Syndicated columnist george will, kirsten powers, jason riley of the wall street journal and fox news political analyst juan williams. Welcome you to all. George, your reaction to the latest out of brussels and how this administration is strategizing with regard to isis. The administration trapped on its own good news. It was good news that administration killed a high level operative. In a way, it indicated astonishingly good intelligence capability onz the part of our forces. Raised a question that refrains debate about isil. How important is the territory they hold because they gives imcharisma that helps them recruit and the logistics help conduct operations like this. To the extent that we conclude that the existence of that territorial control is crucial, it frames the mission and the mission is to take back the territory and the europeans, because theyre the targets of this, ought to bear a responsibility. Jason, youre chomping at the bit there. George is right. Weve been make prague gres ing progress militaryly. Territories are taking out territories that were gained by the terrorists in iraq and syria is being retaken. Isis is able to carry out major attacks on european cities, emailingly at will. Theyre winning the pr campaign. When it comes to recruitment, perception is what matters most. Administration continues to have a policy of containing isis, not eliminating it. Its not that we dont have the capability to do this, we lack the political will to do it. Kirsten, the president took heat over perception about his week. He long stood by this as others in the republican camp have as well that you move on with your life or they win. Right. I also think you heard the congressman saying he was hanging out in cuba. This characterizing a state visit as some sort of, like, you know, boondoggle or something. The president had a planned visit to go there. A very controversial one. Controversial but still his and its not something you cancel at the last minute and the president does believe that you do go on with your life. In terms of dancing, you know, as you even said on friday, he repeatedly. Its not as though hes im that wasnt exactly the plan. I think the golfing thing i long said the president should ab loud to golf if its how he blows off steam or, you know, enjoys it, good for him. He works all the time. One final word on this to you. I think, you know, on the optics, optics are politics. They dont look good for president obama. If you put it together, i think that its largely coming from republicans who want to portray him as weak and fighting the war on terror. The one power point is i think tariff dozen want to go into an overreaction and the overreaction is to draw into another long term effort in the middle east. And i think that would be very difficult to do. Were fighting a guerrilla war and its hard to stop the isolated cells. They certainly have an apocalyptic plan. When we come back, the attacks get personal between ted cruz first, it was a fight over their wives. Now cruz is blaming trumps henchmen for a tabloid story in the national National Enquirer. It is complete and utter lies. It is a tabloid smear. Trump says he had absolutely nothing to do with it. Senator cruz joins us exclusively next. You cant predict. The market. But at t.

White house reaching new lows this week as 5 00 accusations flew between donald trump and ted cruz. I spoke with senator cruz. Senator, in the wake of the brussels bombings, you issued a statement that said this, we need to immediately halt the flow of refugees from countries with a significant al qaeda or isis presence. We need to empower Law Enforcement to patrol and secure muslim neighborhoods before they become radicalized. What exactly were you or are you proposing proposing . Well, shannon, good morning. Its good to be with you. Happy easter today. You know this past week all of us mourned this terrible terrorist attack in brussels. And we have seen these attacks occurring over and over again. This attack was not a lone wolf. It wasnt an isolated incident. This was part of a global jihad being waged by radical islamic terrorism. Europe and israel and being waged on the United States of america. And for seven years president obama and Hillary Clinton and this administration have been so bound up by Political Correctness they refused to acknowledge what it is were fighting. They refused even to name it after every one of these attacks, the president does a national tv conference. He refuses to sat words radical islamic terrorism. Instead, he lectures americans on islam phobia. Enough is enough. We need a commander in chief who will keep this country safe. One of the consequences of the Political Correctness of this administration is they embrace policies that make no sense. Obama and Hillary Clinton both support bringing tens of thousands of Syrian Muslim refugees to america despite the fact that isis tells us they intend to infiltrate those refugees with jihadists coming here to kill us. And despite the fact that the fbi tells us they cannot vet those refugees to make sure theyre not terrorists. Is focused on defeating radical islamic terrorism and utterly destroying isis and on keeping america safe. But how would that play out with patrols in muslim neighborhoods . What are the practicalities of what that looks like . Well, sure. What that looks like is pro active Law Enforcement. What that looks like is addressing the problem and engaging the problem. Using every tool, Law Enforcement, national security, intelligence, using the military abroad. To defeat the enemy. You know, there was a Successful Program in new york city that was started under mayor michael bloomberg. It did exactly this. It engaged cooperatively with the Muslim Community but it got involved to prevent radicalization, to prevent radical islamic terror cells from performing and prevent any acts of terror before theyre carried out. Liberal democratic mayor bill diblasio when he got elected, one of the first things he did in a nod to Political Correctness is he did disband that unit. That doesnt make any sense. The threat comes from and the threat comes from radicalization. You know, you look at europe, much of the cause of these terror attacks is the failed immigration policies in europe over the decades where they allowed vast numbers of islamic terrorists to come into europe. They live in isolated locations where Law Enforcement often doesnt engage at all and theyre hot beds for sorts after tacks. We cant become europe. We cant follow the same mistakes and we need our Law Enforcement to engage and to fight this enemy which is islamism. Its different from islam. Islamism is a political and thee democratic policy that commands the adherence to engage in jihad, to murder or violently convert infidels which they mean anybody else, all of us, and to force us to live under shah reea law. Every level. This administration is not doing. Seeing the rise of radical islamic terrorism all over the globe. You know the president responded to your idea by invoking your father. Heres a bit of what he said. I just left a country that engages in that kind of neighborhood surveillance. Which, by the way, the father of senator cruz escaped for america, the land of the free. Also this week former secretary of state Hillary Clinton referenced your comments with respect to carpet bombing. Here is her take. Proposing that doesnt make you sound tough. It makes you sound like youre in over your head. Earlier this month cnn had a poll asking who is best equipped to handle the issues of Foreign Policy, former secretary clinton was atop the list, you came in fourth behind trump and sanders as well. So as a first term senator, as the secretary suggested, are you in over your head on Foreign Policy . In over their head and its barack obama and Hillary Clinton and john kerry and the entire Obama Administration. The obamaclinton Foreign Policy is a manifest disaster. Every single region on earth, shannon, got worse. Our friend and allies, weve abandoned them. This has been the most antiisrael administration we have ever seen. And we have shown weakness and appeasement to our enemies. Its rich saying obama attacking me when he just got back from going to a baseball game with the kas troez castros celebrating and toasting a communist dictator who tortures and murders citizens, who oppresses them and raf i had rabidly antiamerican and spreads terrorism around america. Yes, my father was tortured in cuba. So was my aunt. They was tortured by castros goons in cube yachlt what barack obama and john kerry has done is sent billions of dollars to the enemies of america, billions of will use to increase repression, increase spreading terrorism throughout latin america and over 100 billion to the Ayatollah Khomeini in iran. That money will be used to fund islam uk terrorist thats are coming to murder americans, murder europeans, israelis. And it will be used to fund their Nuclear Program and their icbm program which is designed to murder millions of americans. This policy of weakness and appeasement doesnt work. The American People are tired of it. Theyre tired of the demoralizing and lecturing. Theyre more mad at me than the terrorists killing people. There are still people missing. Our prayers are with them. But we need a president who will bring the full force and furrey of the United States of america defeating icy. If im president , we will utterly and completely destroy isis. Oblivion using overwhelming air power. We will use our forces to defeat them and we wont put our forces in combat with the rules of engagement that obama is so fond of that tie their arms behind their back that make it impossible for them to fight and win. That is wrong and that is immoral. If and when we use military force, we will use it to win, to defeat our enemies with overwhelming force and then get the heck out. We wont engage in nation building but rather well keep america safe. Senator, it was bate like combat on the campaign trail this week. I took a very nasty personal turn. I want to start first with the facebook and staingram ad from an antitrump super pac called make america awesome. They published a picture that was a nearly nude photo of mrs. Trump. Mr. Trump said youre lying about knowing about it or having anything to do with it. He threatened to spill the beans on your wife heidi. Or anyone else connected you to communications with that group . Did you know anything about the ad . Not remotely. It was a group, i dont note person involved. As far as i know, i never met them or spoken to them. Theyre completely disconnected from the campaign. The ad they put sought deplorable. Wrong. It wasnt us. There are a lot of people in america who disagree with donald trump. And he used that as an excuse, the nakt someone else who i dont know and have no deplorable ad. He used that as an excuse to go after my wife heidi, to go after my family, to attack her directly, and not only did he threaten her directly but then the next day he sent a really nasty tweet juxtaposing a bad picture of heidi with a good picture of his wife and i guess bragging that his wife is so attractive. Listen, i never once said any negative word about his wife or his familiarly. His wife is a lovely woom. Attacking spouses and children is offlimits. It has no place in politics. And sadly, what donald has done, when he gets scared, listen, particularly on Foreign Policy, donald doesnt know. He doesnt understand these issues. One of the reasons he was so scared this week is this past week donald called publicly for effectively withdrawing america from nato. Now that is a catastrophically foolish proposition. Abandoning europe, withdrawing from the most successful military alliance of modern times makes no sense at all. If donald were president , he actually did what he said he would do, withdraw from nato, it would hand a massive victory to putin, a massive victory to isis. Isis would be dancing in the street at the weakness and isolation of donald trump. Now the day after he calls for withdrawing from nato, this brussels terror attack occurs. Brussels, is of course, where nato is head quartered. So his lack of understanding on Foreign Policy, his lack of his country was evident. So donald did what he always does. He tried to find a way to change the subject. He hasnt campaigned for a week. Hes been hiding in trump tower. Late at night he sends tweets hidey. It is inappropriate, wrong and disgusting to see a candidate attacking the spouse of another. And it is a sign of just how scared donald is right now because he doesnt want to discuss the substance. Thats why hes afraid to debate, why he refuses to debate because when he debates, his lack of understanding of the challenge of facing america becomes evident for everyone to see. Lets move on to the National Enquirer. This is what they say, private investigators are digging into at least five affairs ted cruz supposedly had. You and i are both lawyers. They use the word supposedly a lot, may have, allegedly, apparently. I dont see any concrete allegations. But would you like to respond . Yes. It is tabloid smear. It came from donald trump and his henchmen. The only person quoted on the record there is roger stone, the chief political adviser to donald trump and this is the kind of they did have a parting of ways. So we dont know exactly what the relationship is. But, yes, he has been linked with mr. Trump. But they havent had a parting of ways. Roger stone remains the henchmen, the hatchet man, the enforcer for donald trump. Hes pushing these attacks. By the way, hes been pushing them for many months online. These are complete made up lies. Theyre garbage. But, you know, its indicative of just how low donald trump will go. Okay. I want to make sure that we include what his response was on whether he is linked to this or not n a facebook posting he said i have no idea whether or not the cover story about ted cruz in this weeks National Enquirer is true or not. I had absolutely nothing to do about it d not know about it and well, look that, is very convenient to say except the article quotes roger stone. Ill note david pecker, the ceo of National Enquirer is a close friend of donald trump. They have endorsed donald trump for president and this entire campaign theyve done two things, one, they praise donald trump at every turn. And, two, they spread lies and smears and attacks on every one of his opponents. And this is garbage. Look, weve got real problems in america. There are right now people are hurting. Their wages are stagnant and people are out of work. They want to see jobs. What does donald trump want to do . He doesnt want to talk about the issues. He has no answers for how to bring jobs back to america. Donald trump has no idea how to do that. He has no answers for how to keep america safe from radical islamic terrorism so instead tacks my wife, tacks my familiar lishgs he goes to garbage and sleaze and lies. Its categorically false. It has no business in politics. In politics. And we need a leader. Who is prepared to address the country. I spent the last several days campaigning in wisconsin. You know what the people there are interested in . How do we bring back our jobs . How do we see wages rising zbhen i spent a lot of time talking about my positive Economic Program to repeal every word of obamacare, to pass a simple flat tax and abolish the irs, to lift back the epa and regulations killing small businesses, stop amnesty and illegal immigration and in sanctuary cities and Welfare Benefits for those here illegally. We do all of that. Well see millions and millions of high paying jobs, new jobs, manufacturing jobs coming back mexico. Well see wages going up. Well see young people coming out of school with two, three, four, five job opportunities. Thats what americans are interested in is a leader who knows how to solve these problems, who has a real and donald doesnt have that. Senator, we got to leave it there. Thank you for joining us on fox news sunday. Happy easter you to and your family. Well see oun the campaign trail. Happy east and god bless. Next, well bring back our sunday group to discuss that trumpcruz battle and what you would like to as the panel about bringing political spouses into the campaign feud . Will it alienate republican women this november . Just go to facebook or twitter. Theres no one road out there. No one surface. No one speed. No one way of driving on each and every road. But there is one car that can conquer them all. The mercedesbenz cclass. Five driving modes let you customize the steering, shift points, and suspension to fit the mood youre in. And the road youre on. The 2016 cclass. Lease the c300 for 399 a month our political discourse, the kund we see on tv and the kind that we experience among each other, it did not used to be this bad. And it does not have to be this way. House Speaker Paul Ryan criticizing the ugliness of 2016 politics. Were back now with our panel. Ill start with you, chris. Donald trump has made 100 denial he had anything to do with the enquirer story. You have some other potential theories. Theories. Well, its possible he didnt have anything to do with it. I can tell that you people the daily beat reported that it was confirmed by two reporters and someone that is a pro rubio person. One of the people shopping the story around very aggressively is somebody completely antitrump. He is anticruz also. So its not a person who is in any supportive of donald trump. We dont really know who was responsible for it getting to the enquirer. But the story has been out there for months. Again, there is nothing equivocal. Everything in the article uses suppose, rumor, alleged. So two of the women who had their faces blurred out have come forward to say absolutely not. Right. Well watch for more on. That meanwhile, a lot of folks are feeling the burn out there. Last night he won three states, a alaska, hawaii, and Washington State resoundingly. They werent even close, juan. I think this is the beginning of the end for Bernie Sanders. The three wins are the beginning of the end . Yeah. Okay. Hes nowhere near. He didnt actually make any great strides. He picked up delegates. But not substantially in a way you say now hes a threat to win the Democratic Party nomination. He is hoping for a debate in new york state and saying hes going to ratchet up his critique of Hillary Clinton going into a state where she is heavily from new york. You see Democratic Senators calling for him to get out, president obama in a close session with donors is reported to have set his time to brit party together. I think the democrats understand the need to play nice with bernie though. I think its a third of voters in a wall street journal poll and third of Bernie Sanders supporters in a wall street journal poll said they would not support hillary. They just want Bernie Sanders. They want that strong left wing populous voice. So theyre going to have it find out. Obviously, he gets a speaking spot at the convention. Does he become Vice President . No, i dont think so. I think republican ad make woerz be in heaven with ads against the socialist Bernie Sanders. Right. I think what you get is a have to dsht Democratic Party has to buy into Bernie Sanders in order to get him to buy into hillary to bring the voters that hillary is going to need. Shes not setting the campaign trail on fire. Hes doing it for the democrats. Jason, last night he made a very empassioned plea. Cheering thousands there with him. He sees a path forward. He has momentum if nothing else. The gap is really were not talking hundreds and hundreds, i mean, its but we have the issue of the super delegates as well. But he is not going away. She has a significant lead among the delegates. Thats the bottom line. In fact, her lead among theis much larger. So Bernie Sanders spends a significant amount of his time these days trying to justify continuing in the race. And Hillary Clinton, meanwhile, wants to pivot to a general election campaign. You see her trying to move on, rarely even mentioning him and his speeches these days. So there is tension there. I dont see a path forward for bernie other than make something demands at the convention. All right. George, obviously we still have very much a battle on the gop side. Highly possible that nobody gets to the convention with a 1237. But in the meantime, we have new polling out that shows when you look at the three remaining contenders headtohead against either hillary or bernie this is what you get. John kasich at the top of the list, when you put them headtohead with Hillary Clinton, hed ahead of her by 11 points. Cruz up is by three points. And clinton bests trump by one point. Same thing with sanders. Kasich is the only gop contender that comes out ahead in that one. Cruz and trump both losing to sanders at this point. What does it say to you about the overall race . First of all, we though that john kasich cannot get to the convention with a majority of the delegates. Cruz has to win Something Like 87 which will not happen. Donald trump has to win 50some percent. So were looking at a convention in which mr. Cruz will be heavily dependent on, dare i say it, the washington cartel, to rescue themselves and the party from donald trump. So the question is whos preparing best for the i think at this point it would have to say its cruz. Football coach paul bryant of alabama said what matters isnt the toll win. What really matters is the will to prepare to win. And its whos preparing for a contested convention now that matters most and clearly it seems to me its the cruz campaign. Does john kasich have a third or fourth ballot argument here when hes the one who headtohead against the nominees on the democratic side, thats going to be his argument. That will be his argument. Others will make it. And ryan and others, names of people not even in this race, governor of walker suggested that in a contested convention, you could go to someone who didnt enter the list at all and its particularly the case with john kasich because hes run hard and hes run unsuccessfully in almost every state except ohio. We have in wisconsin, not a lot of polling there. Its tough. It looks like kasich has a significant double digit portion of what were seeing in the jason, how tough is that for cruz . Kasich, i dont see he has a path. But wisconsin, pennsylvania, places where he is polling well. He could thats where he does well. Thats the midwestern states. The rust belt, thats where kasich has done well. He just doesnt have the time or the amount of delegates left in the remaining contest to get there. And even with a contested convention, george, its hard for me to see the justification for going with someone other than trump who is running, who goes to the convention with fewer delegates yment turn to a cruz, kasich, anyone who has less support than donald trump going to the convention . Nor an outsider. Let me answer that question. I will say that, you know, for the republican party, its great need to preserve their majority in the senate. A concern about preserving even a narrow leafed the majority in the house. Be catastrophic for that. Kasich, by the way, doing better in pennsylvania. But nowhere near what he needs. And finally ryan is getting trump saying hes trying to undermine him. He is saying im making sure we know the rules of the road as we go towards a likely convention open convention. There are a lot of people that think voters actually choose the candidate. The convention is going to be so much fun. You know thats true. Panel, we have to take a break. When we come back, the standoff over president Obamas Supreme Court nominee. Some Senate Republicans now bend me shape me, any way you want me as long as you love me, its alright any way you want me. Sleep of your life. Sleep number beds with any way you want it. The bed that moves you. The presley has fully discharged his constitutional obligation. Now its up to the snoot do the same. As i might add, the polling data shows the American People expect him to do. Vice President Biden calling on the Republicanled Senate to consider judge Merrick Garland and give him an up or down vote. All right. So i want to say a little bit of what joe biden said about the similar situation, about the circumstances. Back in 1992 on the senate yourself. President obama consider following the practice of a majority of his predecessors and not and not name a nominee election is completed. All right. George, this week he spoke about this. He said there is no such thing as a biden rule. But the reference to the remarks are tough for him and the administration zblment there wasnt a biden rule until Republican Leaders decided to take his pronouncement as cathedral somehow and worship bidens theories on this stuff. Consider the case today this week of jerry moran. Very conservative senator from a conservative state of kansas. Hearings. We got 50some senators who vote him down. They have the hearing and discuss the place of the Supreme Court and the american regime and then vote on it. And hes now being denounce the as a rhino, republican. Let me talk to you about that. He said earlier this week id rather have you complaining to me, talking to constituents, that i voted wrong on nominating doing my job. The response from the Tea Party Patriots was, if this kind of outrageous behavior that leads tea party active its to think about a primary opponent to run against senator moran. He then put out a statement saying, im opposed to president obamas nominee and this administration attempt to put another liberal judge on the court. As i have stated, i have a duty to ask tough questions and demand answers. Kirsten, hes not the only republican cracking a door open to at least a meeting. Right. John roberts has said, you know, the Supreme Court chief justice, said that hes concerned about the process of how we are now selecting our Supreme Court nominees. I do believe he said that before this. Right. Im not talking about this. He was talking about the fact on both sides its become very much a Party Line Vote where it didnt used to be. That were not looking at qualification. I think thats whats going on. The idea you would let this person come up and assess the qualifications and decide whether to vote for them or not is considered out of bounds. But, i think what conservatives are upset about is there shouldnt be a different set of rules for republicans and a different set of rules for democrats. And thats whats going on here. For dozens of judicial nominees in the hearings by democrats during Election Years. We have bidens comments before Chuck Schumer of the senate, the senator from new york said something similarly. More recently. President obama himself wanted to filibuster justice aledos nomination. Zroint a problem with polling hearings either. Hold them and vote no if you dont want him as the next Supreme Court justice. But at the same time, lets make sure the rules apply equally to both sides. I dont understand. If you look back to kennedy. The democratic in a majority, i think aledo and justice roberts, i could go on. These democratic majority in an Election Year . Im saying a democrat make jort gave a republican president his nominee. And i think that going into this situation you have people saying somehow that the president has already ended prematurely. The constitution. That seems to me to be in direct contradiction to people who say we want to play by the ruldz, by the constitution this president is obligated to nominate somebody. And can you reject but seems to me the senate is obligated to consider. Refusing to have a courtesy meeting, i think that is rude. Every nominee that came before him den its just not its being mischaracterized. He went on to say if the president sends someone up, we will consider this person. So this idea that there is this biden rule where you dont, during an Election Year. They dont think you should but if he does, he would consider it. Sow wasnt thats very different than saying we wont consider anybody that comes up. He said he doesnt think thats what you should do. Fine. But if you do, well consider it. I think the far more interesting question is whether republicans are making a mistake here if hillary wins the election and nominates someone much further to the left than judge garland. Possibility. Theyre maying a mistake prior to the election. Public opinion is clearly against them. Incumbent senators out of new hampshire, one in pennsylvania and ohio and wisconsin all in for tough races. Margin the difference . Yes. There was a case that was discussed and it will likely end in a 44 split as our best guess at this point. There is no way to really tell but this is a case that fifth vote or this next seat is going to be in deciding someone on the bench. It seems like both parties are taking a bit of a gamble with this. I think thats right. Case. The Little Sisters say they object even to the conscious clause that allows people who object to that kind of healthy are system. It ultimately comes down to people arguing that an employer life. I dont know how it gets settled. It seems to me its not its a fight against obamacare. I think this court with roberts even has affirmed. That. I will say that nuns said they want nothing to do with dismantling the overall law. They dont want to sign a permission slip for the Health Care Plan to be used for things that object to the very tenants of their faith. Thank you very much, panel.
