Allstar panel for calls. Thats it for this special report, fair, balanced and unafraid. Greta goes on the record right now. This is a fox news alert. Donald trump the frontrunner speaks in just moments. Here is the question. Will he use his new nickname for secretary clinton tonight . In front of buffalo supporters. Fox Team Coverage where protesters and supporters are right now facing off. We have live reports but nor on that nickname. Here is donald trump. We have crooked hillary. Crooked hillary, folks. She has been crooked from the beginning and to think that she has a shot at being our president . Crooked Hillary Clinton. We cant let it happen. You cant let it happen. And let me tell you. The only personal that crooked Hillary Clinton does not want to run against is donald trump. Trump rally but now Donald Trumps son, donald trump jr. Goes on the record. Good evening, donald. Hi, greta. How are you . Good. So he is now calling the former secretary of state Hillary Clinton crooked. A few years ago he told me she did a great job as secretary of state. What happened . How did she become crooked . When you look at the record and look at what she has actually done. When you look at benghazi and all the instances over the last multiple decades, its almost that tits particularly possible to have that many controversy and have that many things go correct me if i am wrong inexplicable in some ways. You know, i think it fits. I used to think of crooked as someone who is stealing money or something. You are not suggesting that she is doing anything like that . Well, listen, i dont know. If you look in the past i think there is probably plenty of places where you can probably make that assumption there are probably things much more important and certainly relevant to today. If you look at benghazi. You know, mark geist is a friend of mine. He came out and endorsed us. One of the contractors left behind in benghazi and came out and survived. When you talk to him about what happened in that situation, you see about his friends that he lost over there, you start to realize this wasnt a good person with well intentions. This is someone who didnt want to pick up a phone at 2 00 in the morning . Does he have a nickname for everybody . I dont want to known what mine is nickname thick pretty persuasive. He comes up with these on the spot. Is he pretty good understanding people. He knows what people are he is good at labeling them. Nicknames are effective because they are true. When people hear them they are thats right. Thats 100 percent right. Lyin ted or low energy jeb. They tend to stick because those are the characteristics that those people exude. I have seen sort of two Donald Trumps. One is the very measured one we saw in an oped that was written last week or published last week in the wall street journal. When i did the town hall with donald as well, he was very sort of measured. Answering the question. Then we have this wild side of him where he brands people with nicknames. Which one is he like at home . Well, honestly, is he both. Is he incredible father and incredible grandfather now. When i see him play with my kids, its just amazing. But he do both. I have seen him for 40 years, 38 years, dude deals with people from all different spectrums of life and different nations and nationalities, background and religions. He can be incredibly charming when he needs to be. There comes a time where you have to put your foot down. If you look at the topics big issues today in the republican party, they are all things that prior to him entering this race they were taboo, you cant talk about that you may offend someone. You talk talk about this little too far. They are talking points because he has the guts to actually bring it up and has the guts to say what he is thinking and not necessarily pull punches so as not to offend someone. Is he more concerned about taking care of americans. About protecting american lives. About protecting american jobs. About creating a great economy again. Instead of, you know, our current administration, which is much more concerned about possibly not offending someone who hates us to begin with. Its a very different mentality, greta. Okay. I dont know if you are a betting man, but im going to put you on the spot. Tomorrow night, tell me how is your father going to do in the New York Primary . Whats your bet . Im going long for us. I think we are going to do great. I think we are going to do really well. Its home. People get it they see it and, frankly, i think we will do better here even in a general because when im around, when i go to dinner, when im out in new york which is not exact lay bassian of christian principles they say im going to vote for your father because i know is he going to change the system. System stacked against us giving real persons americans, people who made this country great. Hard working blue collar americans, he is giving them a voice again. They havent had that in a long time, greta. I know you are going to vote for your father. I have 100 percent confidence. Your two siblings missed the deadline to register. How bad do they feel. I dont think theyre thrilled. I think they voted republican on many instances. I think because of the way the system by the time they had to reregister and to become republicans to vote in this primary was so far out we hadnt even announced that we were in this thing, i dont think. So, you know, i think they feel bad but its not the end of the world. We have new york covered and they are certainly ready to rock and roll for the general. If the polls are valid, your father is not going to need their two votes tomorrow night. Thats the good news, i guess for the family. I think reasonably safe. If we lose by two they are in a lot of trouble but i dont think thats going to be a problem. I would say they are. Thank you, don. Thank you very much, greta. Lets get to that trump rally in buffalo, new york. Carl cameron is live. Carl . Hi, greta. The first niagara facility more than half full raucous crowd. Introductions are over donald trump will be out here in a few minutes. Is he looking for a huge win, perhaps a sweep in new york. 95 delegates at stake. Not going to be easy. He leads in all the polls. Wall street journalnbc poll shows trump is over 50 in the empire state and has more support in that poll than both texas senator ted cruz and Ohio Governor john kasich combined. Thats really important here in new york because there are 95 delegates at stake. And its a winnertakemost and can be winnertakeall if the candidate gets a majority of the actual statewide vote and then a majority in each of the states congressional districts. If not it becomes proportional and much easier for ted cruz and john kasich to pick up a couple of congressional districts, deny trump the full 9 a and perhaps slow some of his momentum. Trump has been very aggressive in the last couple of days, criticizing the process for collecting delegates. He says that the Republican National Committee System is corrupt, that its rigid. That its crooked. He has been very, very critical about it and even suggested if he wins the nomination he may dismiss reince priebus, the chairman of the National Republican committee from his post. The party says thats not going to happen. He is going to stay in his office until the spring of 2007 when his term expires. Gives you how heated things have become between trump and g. O. P. Establishment. In the meantime ted cruz is looking to pick off one or two congressional districts in new york as well as john kasich. Cruz has gone on to say there will be a battle in cleveland. That is him saying as clearly as he can that he expects to go all the way to the convention and contest it. That donald trump wont have the necessary 1237 delegates to clinch the nomination before the first ballot he has a chance to compete in the contested convention. John kasich has been skipping ahead for months. He has only won his home state of ohio. For his strategy he doesnt need to win. He has been saying all along he will go to that contested convention assuming there is one. He leaves he will prevail in the end when the voters, the delegates there, these sort of career amateur politicians who make up the delegate composition decide while cruz and trump cant beat Hillary Clinton and john kasich who served in congress and governor of key state in ohio, cleveland is where the convention will be he thinks that will add up to him being the nominee in the end. Donald trump will come out big if he wins as big as he expects from tomorrow night. Ranging from West Virginia to rhode island. Trump has a huge lead. Greta . Carl, thank you. And, of course, we are waiting for this for donald trump at this rally. Carl has been inside. But outside the First Niagara Center, whats going on there . Protesters and, of course, rick legislative that you will is there protesters began lining up well in advance. Rick leventhal is in the middle of those protesters as always. Rick . Greta, so far so good for the city of Buffalo Police, state and local agencies helping out with security here. Can you see a line of officers between us and the protesters. I want to show you the First Niagara Center and whats happening here. A very strict security procedure in place there are stragglers still making their way inside who are being shuttled through metal barricades and through the front doors where they are greeted by secret service who are handling the screening here. These people, were told, cannot bring any food or drink, certainly no weapons or bags or backpacks and no science or banners there are plenty of signs and banners across the street. Protester, 200 to 300 of them at least being kept behind metal barricades. Police forming a line between those protesters and the Trump Supporters who have been arriving here since 4 00 this afternoon. The last three hours they have been showing up. The official estimate somewhere around 7,000 to 8,000 people inside. Again, a few hundred outside. Police saying that they will respect everyones First Amendment right but violence will not be tolerated. We have been told that the Buffalo Police department does not play around with situations like this. And you can see that they are ready for action. Theyre hoping there wont be any need for those flexy cuffs that they have on the belts. The goal is to keep protesters separated from trump support ires. When these two sides get too close to each other, thats when the sparks start to fly. Rick, thank you. Donald trump is hoping for a big, big win tomorrow. G. O. P. Rival senator ted cruz and Governor John Kasich are a not going down, at least not without a fight. Today is tax day. [crowd booing] we should abolish the irs. I say donald, you say trump. Donald. Trump. Going to make great, great deals. I dont want to feed the anger and anxiety and frustration people have in this country. If we ignite, we will win the general, we will beatHillary Clinton and we will turn this country around. Governor kasich just picking up a big endorsement from nevada governor brian cornwall. The governor goes on the record. Good evening, thank you for having me. You had nice things about governor kasich saying under john kasichs leadership ohios economy has undergone incredible transformation 425,000 jobs return to the state and people have hope again. Here is what i dont understand. Sometimes i dont get this about politics. You never endorsed him before. You didnt endorse him for the february 23rd caucus in your state and you voted ford senator marco rubio. Can you reconcile all this for me. You wanted rubio first and governor kasich for whatever reason is choice number two. . Fair question and john and i came in as governors together. Is he somebody that i have known and respected for a very long time. And you recited his record in ohio. Is he a tremendous candidate. Frankly, i wish i would have done it sooner. With regard to my vote for senator rubio, that was a decision that i made on that day. But moving forward, i think john kasich is the ideal candidate for president. He has got that experience as a governor, as a chief executive. He has got the Foreign Policy experience from when he was in congress. He is a man of faith. He is a family man. I think he is the entire package. You know, i always describe someone like governor kasich because he looks great on paper. And then i think to myself why hasnt he gotten the tracked . Do you have an explanation of that he certainly is whether you agree with him or not, he probably has the broadest experience having been in congress, having ban governor, having been in business, is he a little bit of what everybody else has. Why is he running third . He has had a record of success. And, frankly, you know, i think john would say himself america is getting to know him. And when they get to know him, they like him. And obviously in ohio is extremely popular. He was reelected with a super majority of the vote. The ohio economy is doing great things. I think he can do the same thing for america. But there is a lot of time to go. I think as time moves on, they are going to see who john kasich is. And that he is, indeed, the best person to be president. The math is right now not working in his favor. He has got his hail mary pass is for a contested convention in ohio, his state, i might add. Should he have started sooner . Whats your explanation that you say American People are just getting to know him . Its april. No, and, again, i dont think anybody would argue that the math doesnt work for him and that he does need to get to a contested convention in cleveland. But he got a late start. Thats probably something john would be able, in a better position to talk about. But he, you know, i wish him, i hope the people of new york tomorrow see him for what he is, be incredible candidate and frankly the only person who can beat Hillary Clinton. Governor, thank very much for joining us, sir. Thank you very much. And now to that steaming democratic race. Secretary Hillary Clinton and senator Bernie Sanders, well, they are no longer pals, but they are both crisscrossing new york state making lastminute pushes for voters. I need your help tomorrow. Its a big election. A primary election, democratic primary. How this comes out tomorrow will shape the rest of this primary campaign and how we will go into the future. Youre standing up for justice, and i applaud what you are doing. Were going to win this thing. Thank you. We need you. We need every single vote. I will stand up and fight for you fox news chief White House Correspondent ed henry is in new york city, the state where we are going to have a primary tomorrow. He had . Greta, good to see you. Sometimes the best reporting you can do is still the old shoe leather reporting. I was walking through the streets of manhattan this morning and bumped into a clinton advisor and said what do you think . We started talking about thousand democratic race is playing out. He said as a clinton advisor is he nervous that these polls suggesting she has a double digit lead are simply not true and that Bernie Sanders has closed this to a single digit, difference right now. The difference, of course, is going to be next 24 hours. Can he actually close it to the point that he takes the lead and wins this state . If he were to win Hillary Clintons adopted home state, that would be a huge blow to her campaign in terms of all the momentum. You see this live picture. Bernie sanders is planning another very large rally there in long island city. The beautiful manhattan skyline right across the water there this follows last night where in brooklyn a Prospect Park Bernie Sanders had over 28,000 people at a rally. We talk all the time about these big crowds that one in brooklyn was the biggest one sanders has had in this entire campaign. Back to that clinton advisor on the streets of manhattan. He told me is still confident to be clear that Hillary Clinton is going to win. He believes she will win by single digits, not double digits. Here is the very bottom line on the race. If Hillary Clinton were to win by single digits, Bernie Sanders can claim a moral victory. He can claim, you know, that he beat the expectations game. Hes running out of state to keep beating expectations. He has to win and win big in order to start separating, you know, the delegate situation because Hillary Clinton has separation from him right now leading by several hundred delegates and can you see that right now. He has got to catch up. Thats plain and simple, greta. Ed, is the campaign say talking privately, are they pulling their hair out why they ever let or didnt push back on Bernie Sanders running on the democratic side . Because he never he never really wanted to be a democrat. I still havent figured that one out. They were letting him be part of the game and then all of a sudden he has this. You are right when he was an independent and socialist and not a democrat. They let him into the debates. I have spoken to clinton advisors who are frustrated by that number one. Number two you have heard reports that bill clinton is upset that the campaign, once sanders was allow to do run as a democrat, everyone said fine, Hillary Campaign did not push back early and hard enough on these attacks about the wall street money. Its taken its toll on her. They still are confident inside the clinton camp she is going to win. What kind of damage has that done for the general election . Thats the big question, greta. Ed, great to have you. Thank you. Nothing like money to stir up a fight. Clinton and sanders at each others throat over money. Take you b
