let's not continue down this road to socialism. that's our show. see you next week. lisa, great having you in the studio. >> thank you. charles: if you can't see the show, dvr it. now lou dobbs. lou: good evening, everybody. i'm lou dobbs. a dramatic raid in the jihadi capital of europe and the arrest of one of the world's most wanted terrorists. we'll have the latest developments from belgium on the climax to what has been a europewide four month long manhunt for islamic state terrorists. donald trump and family are under more than political attack. the new york police department is investigating a suspicious package sent to the home of donald trump's son eric, and the notorious hacker group anonymous declared total war on trump. already releasing some of his

personal information. meanwhile the usual political anti-trump forces are intensifying attacks with just a few days to go before the next primary elections in utah and arizona. trump leads the polls in arizona and the prospect of trump widening his delegate lead has pushed party elites into a full-blown hand wringing agita if not outright panic. house speaker ryan flew to florida to meet with a group of anti-trump big money donors in palm beach. the meeting wasn't explicitly billed as anti-trump affair but it was. the people giving millions to defeating donald trump. the standard bearer of the defeat trump movement, mitt romney today, officially endorsed not the man he was campaigning for three days ago.

instead, romney announced he'll vote for cruz in tuesday's utah republican caucuses. leading conservatives like former house speaker gingrich, today warning the republican establishment to stop trying to destroy trump and wake up to the fact that trump is good for the party. >> trump is doing more than anyone since ronald reagan to bring in a new generation of voters who are saying, you know, i like what he's saying about american nationalism. i like what he's saying about controlling the border. i like what he's saying about taking on washington. i think, of course, if you're a washington establishment type, all that stuff scares you to death. lou: and after a few days off, the three remaining republican candidates are now back on the campaign trail, and all ted cruz and john kasich can talk about is, of course, the front-runner. >> we're not playing a parlor game. i'm running for president because i have a record of experience that's different

than the rest of them. i'm not here to play a game. i'm worried about who's going to run the united states. [cheers and applause] . lou: i'll take up the latest political developments with fred barnes, cathy lynn taylor and ambassador john bolton. and for those who keep saying incorrectly donald trump hit ceiling of support, you may be finally correct. if trump's polling numbers continue to rise and rise some more. the newest poll shows him with a staggering level of support in the big upcoming primary state of new york. trump polling 64% support to john kasich's 1%, yes, you heard those numbers right. we'll go through the numbers here tonight and i'll take it up with the first member of congress to endorse trump, new york congressman chris collins. also tonight, china perhaps fearing a trump presidency but certainly sense a weakness in the current white house, goading the united states, u.s.

commanders warning of troubling new moves by the chinese military. i'll take those up with general jack keane tonight. our top story, the republican candidates taking campaigns out west tonight in preparation for tuesday's contests in arizona and utah. with just three nominees, potential nominees remaining and three more days until the next primaries, the stakes have never been higher. chief washington correspondent james rosen with our report. >> reporter: looking to bolster his credentials as a candidate who's tough on illegal immigration, texas senator ted cruz toured the border near douglas, arizona. at cruz's side were former texas governor rick perry and father of a store clerk in mesa shot to death by a sinaloa drug cartel member, the subject of a tv ad cruz is spending six figures to blast across the grand canyon state. >> my son grant was killed working an overnight shift job by an illegal immigrant.

he was out on an i.c.e. bond, should have been deported. i should trust ted cruz, he believes in the constitution. >> reporter: the scant polling in arizona where tuesday's primary shows gop donald trump leading cruz by double digits. trump promises to build a wall along the scombrd make mexico pay for it established immigration as the signature issue as others derided it as far-fetched, trump plans to deport the 11 million illegals already here. >> the border is a disaster, like a piece of swiss cheese and we're going to stop, it stop people from coming into our country illegally. >> ask donald trump why he sides with hillary clinton and why he wants more government health care? >> reporter: trump is taking renewed flack from the club for growth which spent 7 million attacking the front-runner as a closet liberal and spent 200,000 in utah ahead of the caucus that will award 40 delegates. trump dismissed the club as a phony outfit.

>> they asked me for a million dollars, right after i told them no, they came out with a negative ad. >> okay, doing the best i can down here. >> reporter: ohio governor john kasich stumping in utah, the only candidate explicitly pegging hopes to a contested convention. trump and cruz say they can win outright and the map going forward favors them. cruz notes of the 22 remaining gop contests 16 are closed and of the 11 closed contests today, cruz has won 6, trump5. the remaining contests in the northeast, including new york, where trump's regional appeal will afford him an opportunity to expand on significant lead in delegates. lou? lou: james, thank you, james rosen. democrats also setting their sights on trump more than 20 liberal groups reportedly uniting behind a plan to stop the front-runner. planning demonstrations outside trump rallies. clinton allies planning to spend tens of millions of

dollars on anti-trump ads, aiming for clinton herself to stay out of the war of words. but clinton today under fire from rival bernie sanders who slammed her for fund-raising rather than campaigning. sanders holding rallies in the three states that will vote tuesday, utah, idaho and arizona where yesterday he accused sheriff joe arpaio to be un-american for his tough stance on illegal immigration. >> easy for bullies like sheriff arpaio to pick on people who have no power. if i'm elected president, the president of the united states does have the power. watch out, joe! >> sanders sharply criticized because his wife, in a photo-op with sheriff arpaio seeking apparently some publicity with the sheriff. clinton and sanders have sharply criticized the obama

administration on illegal immigration, both have promised to be more lenient in enforcement of immigration laws than president obama. despite the criticism the administration says it's stepping up deportation raids, which are at basically an all-time low, at least for this administration. the deportations primarily aimed at illegal immigrant children who surged across the border in the summer of 2014. of the tens of thousands who crossed only 800 have been deported. illegal immigration and border security a central issue in the 2016 campaign because of donald trump. turning to europe where illegal immigration is tearing the continent apart, the european union today announced a deal with turkey to limit at least some illegal immigration and to remove some illegal immigrants. it is very much unclear as to

how many of those illegal immigrants and refugees will be returned to turkey. according to the agreement, thousands of the illegal immigrants now in greece will be sent back. greece has become the principal gateway for illegal immigration into europe. in return, turkey will be paid at least 3.5 billion dollars. eu promised to restart talks on turkey's membership in the european union which has some concerned this is simply, a fig leaf over what is a fissure in the european union, and bringing with the purpose of bringing turkey back into the good graces of the european union. we'll be talking about that with among others ambassador john bolton here tonight. one of the key suspects involved in the paris terrorist massacre that left 130 people dead has been captured tonight. bringing the four month manhunt to an end. fox news correspondent benjamin hall is in london and has our

report. >> reporter: the largest manhunt in modern european history is over, and salah abdeslam, the eighth terrorist is wound bud alive. he was tracked down in an apartment in molenbeek, police shouted at him to come out with arms up. when he didn't, they shot him in the knee. dramatic footage showed him dragged from the house. salah was the one who get away. soon after the paris attacks he was pictured driving back to brussels, stopped twice by police but let go, and despite a massive manhunt, the trail went dead. some people suggested he had gone back to syria where he fought until 2014, others thought he fled to morocco where his family is. from all along he was under the noses of police seemingly

hidden by accomplices. >> this shows the community is providing safe haven for him. they were helping him. moving him from location to location, so a lot of people had to been his whereabouts over these months. that is going to be where the intelligence should focus. >> reporter: on tuesday belgium and french authorities carried out a joint raid and were met with fierce resistance. one man was killed and four police injured but salah and four others were fingerprinted. he arranged logistics for the paris attacks, cars, hotel rooms, apartments, but unclear why he didn't blow himself up that night. a suicide belt was found in the suburb of paris after the massacres, but unclear if he chose not to blow himself up or didn't work. whatever the reason, tonight he is in police custody, he's

wounded, but going to face justice. in london, benjamin hall, fox news. lou: thank you, benjamin. we're coming right back, a lot more straight ahead. stay with us. trump leads the gop delegate race by almost 300 but the establishment is running against the establishment that's reviled by most republicans is trying to change the rules of the convention and the outcome. the gop elites are not only out of touch but many think out of their minds. we're joined by congressman chris collins here next. this skydiver is about to give us all a unique view of one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.

. lou: republican front-runner donald trump is a man with a ceiling, according to his opponents, but it turns out that ceiling is a little higher than they thought. a new emerson poll out of new york state shows trump with a 54-point lead over senator ted cruz. make that 52, if i can adjust the math a little bit. it was cruz who attacked trump for his new york values at the fox news business network

debate back in january. >> there are many, many wonderful, wonderful working men and women in the state of new york, but everyone understands that the values in new york city are socially liberal or pro-abortion or pro-gay marriage, focus around money and the media. lou: well, it appears new yorkers certainly have not forgotten cruz's comments, according to that poll. joining us congressman chris collins, a member of the house energy and commerce committee. he was the first member of congress to endorse donald trump and, of course, the congressman is from new york state. great to have you with us, congressman. >> good to be with you, lou. lou: the numbers on this poll, i think everyone thought new york state would be trump territory, but this is -- this is a blowout. 64%, my goodness. >> well, lou, in new york, especially western new york where i'm from, it's about jobs, the loss of jobs to china and mexico. we believe, we know that donald

trump is as president going to get those jobs back, and we're just tired of america not winning. donald trump is going to make america first, and that's why you're seeing that the groundswell, and this is democrats as well as republicans, i'm not sure whether the poll was just republicans, but i can assure you the working men and women that are registered democrats in western new york are enthusiastic about donald trump. >> you know, an endorsement came down that donald trump didn't get, and you almost wonder if he didn't pay so that mitt romney wouldn't endorse him, because those he's endorsed have not done well. mitt romney came out three days after campaigning with john kasich and three days before the next primary and endorsed senator ted cruz. now we got a lot of screw ball stuff going on among the so-called elites of your party, but i mean this is getting to be a topper.

>> well, you know, lou, you have to understand mitt romney's self life expired four years ago. i'm not sure whether he's trying to be relevant where he's not, or as he was attacking trump a little bit ago, he didn't support anyone. as you are pointing out, he's anyone but trump, but whether he represents the establishment or not, he is actually, by being out, there energizing rank and file americans to say enough is enough. we have to work together to defeat hillary clinton to stop the progressive movement that has destroyed new york state and harming new york city as we sit tonight and get behind an american who's going to make us proud to be american, putting america first, and that is donald trump as our next president. lou: you would think that the smart guys, the guys who think they're big shots like paul ryan, mitch mcconnell, the boys meeting in palm springs for a fancy dinner, would understand

that the american people are sending a very loud message here that is not only anti-establishment, as we're sick of being insulted, sick of, lied to, sick offic manipulated and taken for fools. why does this persist, congressman, and can the members get by them? >> i can assure you the members they serve with, the republican members of the house are solidly behind donald trump as he runs for president. and paul ryan stated time and again, he is going to support the republican nominee, and that's going to be donald trump. lou: congressman, peace, that's bull. this guy has said he's going to do this or that, said he doesn't want to be a presidential nominee. let's be straight here, my audiences expect straight talk. the fact is ryan is working to get that nomination. ryan is working to destroy trump's candidacy, and he is going to be managing the

convention where the establishment is saying you poor rubes, you have to follow the rules that the establishment makes. why put up with this nonsense? >> you know, lou, one of the best rules we should remember which is the rule for mitt romney four years ago is a candidate to be on the ballot has to win a majority of the delegates in eight states which donald trump has already done. john kasich has one but we have to remember ted cruz only has a majority of the delegates in four states and today he wouldn't qualify. lou: rule 40 is the rule they want to get rid of first! >> we'll call that the mitt romney rule, so the hypocrisy of mitt romney instilling that rule for the 2012 convention and now trying to undo that is really why the public right now is disgusted. if you want to call that mitt romney, the face of the establishment. they're disgusted by it, and if

anything else -- lou: congressman, paul ryan, mitch mcconnell, the ricketts family, paul singer. it is every one of those folks playing the establishment game and trying to, in point of fact, trying to disenfranchise millions and millions of voters who are supporting the candidate you've endorsed. >> well, it's not going to work. lou: i have to jump and leave it there. >> okay, thanks, lou. lou: thanks for being with us. >> see you again, thank you. lou: breaking news now, whoa! a florida jury just awarded hulk hogan $115 million! he doesn't seem very interested there, does he? $115 million, the jury found the gawker website violated his privacy. site posted a sex tape of the wrestler. gawker posted the tape online in 2012. gawker says it was protected by

the first amendment in that trial because the video was newsworthy, as they put it. the jury ruled that gawker owes hulk hogan $115 million, and those are the latest developments from the tabloid world at this hour. be sure to vote in tonight's poll -- a reminder to follow me on twitter, "like" me on facebook, links to everything at loudobbs.com. incredible video out of egypt tonight. professional skydiver juan meyer completed his first jump over the pyramids and caught it all on camera. wow. spectacular. meyer was one of 16 skydivers who completed the stunt as part of the egyptian international parachuting championship and what a place to hold the

the coordinated effort by the republican establishment, specifically designed to deny donald trump the nomination. speaker ryan just two months ago claims it was quote ridiculous to even discuss a contested convention, but then yesterday he acknowledged it is now likely. >> there's more likely to become an open convention than we thought before. so we're getting our minds around the idea that this could very well become a reality, and those of us involved in the convention need to respect that. lou: there's a reason that it's more likely and it's because the establishment wants it to be so. the speaker claim he's neutral in the whole process but, of course, that hasn't stopped him from attacking and admonishing donald trump. not so neutral, and i don't know why he claims to be because he knows we all have the video to prove what he said throughout.

in fact, speaker ryan in attending a palm beach conference of major republican donors including paul singer and todd rickets have given millions of dollars to groups and right on cue mitt romney today announced he will vote for, no, ted cruz, in the utah caucuses next week. writing in a facebook post -- notice how he isn't considered republican by mr. romney is to have an open convention at this stage the only way we can reach an open convention is for senator cruz to be successful in as many of the remaining nominating elections as possible, end quote. this is the bedrock stuff of a fancy establishment strategy, don't you think? this is the level of thinking that they are bringing to their task, and frankly, i think it's inadequate to the task.

romney campaigned for kasich just days ago and now he claims a vote for kasich only makes it more likely that trump prevails. romney is a lot of things but i won't mention all of them, just one. cynical. cynical right at the top of the romney list, and yes, he is an embarrassment to all who would claim him, including, yes, the embarrassing establishment of the republican party. who would listen to this man any longer on any subject other than, of course, those folks meeting in palm beach, who have nothing to show for their political efforts but two humiliating presidential election losses in a row. our perhaps just the political strategist toties who feed on the crumbs that romney and his like let fall from the table. altogether, the establishment, a sad bunch indeed. our quotation of the evening if i may, this one from bryant mcgill.

capital of europe. they knew where he had gone six months ago. your thoughts. >> well, he obviously had a sanctuary in there, the police didn't have the ability to go in and get him except after careful planning. it's an example of the real problem that europe has. people who have been born and raised in europe who have rejected all of the advantages of a free society to buy this ideology. to deeply serious problem there, exacerbated by massive flow of refugees from north africa and the middle east that's continuing, i think issues we're seeing there we're going to see more here as many of the people work their way to the united states. lou: we're watching angela merkel, she lost three of the districts in her country. her, if you will, home districts in point of fact. she is being rebuked and rebuffed by the germans for just inviting every, every

refugee and immigrant into the country, and now they caught a deal today to, well, to send migrants back, refugees back, illegal immigrants back to turkey, only one cost, $3.5 billion is hardly the trump wall where turkey would be paying. >> fascinating, after listening to the europeans lecture us for decades about immigration policy, they have two problems, one illegal immigrants all over the face of europe, and two floods of illegal immigrants still coming in. the deal with turkey was angela merkel's possible response to try and get turkey to take some of the people back. they didn't get from the middle east to greece and macedonia without turkish assistance or winks and nods. i don't think you're going to see much change because i think it's very hard to get these people sent back once they've made it into europe. some still in camps, those probably will be sent back but not a significant percentage of

those already in. that's why this problem is only going to get worse for europe. lou: and trump's idea about a pause in allowing muslims from countries that are -- that have jihadi influences within them, why is that an idea fought so hard? >> well, the idea that we're going to grant asylum to people who claim to be refugees without checking them out is not only not required of us by international law which our president supposedly is a great devote of. we have affirmative obligation to suggest they be refugees and they're not threats to the united states. all the evidence we have the state department has underwhelmed on this score. they don't know anything. they're uneducated, haven't tenant time. lou: are you talking about the national libbial -- liberal

together we've got the votes and here's the way we're splitting it up. >> i think can you see the parameters of a deal now. the only -- everybody talks about a brokered convention. we have no experience on brokered conventions, in the living memory of anybody out there. that people need to understand. lou: well, 76 was the -- >> contested convention, wasn't brokered. i was there as a spear carry why are for ronald reagan. we lost. it was a fair fight among the two leading contenders. lou: you call it a fair fight. i recall it wasn't so fair, ford had all the guns and brought all to bear the power of presidency. >> that's part of the game. what we knew going in. lou: there you go, john bolton, always a pleasure. >> thank you, lou. lou: two professional kayakers facing charges for a crazy stunt captured on this video that's gone viral. the men decided it wasn't thrilling enough to drive through the white rapids of cumberland falls, kentucky, some of the best in all of kentucky.

risk, people's family at risk, it goes much further than mr. trump has gone himself. lou: what the heck do you mean by that? are you in any way suggesting that -- i mean, what do you mean by that? >> he's made some very outlandish statements. >> that doesn't rise to the level of threats against people. >> that's what i'm saying here. lou: it seems like it's one of the things that didn't need to be said. >> well, you know, it's the time of great vitriol and great division, i want to make very clear. lou: i don't think there should ever be those kind of equivalenceies. >> i hope there doesn't need to be. >> there might need to be clarification in the country. lou: fred your thoughts. >> this is why we have the secret service guarding the candidates and the fbi investigating here and they're good at this stuff. should find out whether they are serious threats or pranks and the difference is important. it's too bad this is happening. lou: it is too bad, it is also

too bad we're watching a republican establishment trying to play all sorts of specious, and i think, ultimately sinister games here. >> yeah, but lou, they're losing. they are dismayed, downcast, they realize that all this money they've spent on anti-trump ads particularly in florida failed miserably. look, coming up on tuesday, there's arizona, where the primary will probably give trump another 58 delegates or a trunk of delegates in utah. the so-called establishment has been completely lacking. lou: cathy, the reality here too is that this is a tremendous bruising of -- and a bloody beating of donald trump, who will presumably be the nominee. they're doing the democrats's

work for them here, are they not? >> they are, they are. the fact that every headline coming out of the gop is about trump and not clinton is handing her a free pass at a time she absolutely should not have one. they are doing a lot of her work for her, which is unfortunate. and fred is right, the establishment's efforts to undermine trump have not worked in any way. they have yet to settle on a strategy that works. lou: i want to show you both if i may, the numbers i'm sure you are familiar with but to share with our audience as well. trump's so-called unfavorables, the experts are clucking about. let's look at the chart, if we could put that up. these are the "gallup" numbers on net favorable ratings. unfavorables are turning around. the "gallup" tracking poll republicans, net favorable numbers surging 14 percentage points over the last two weeks. ahead of cruz.
