12:00 pm
shocked to find ty cobb baseball cards in the rundown house of his grandfather. the cards are real. have great day and a great weekend. here's gregg for shep. >> it is 3:00 on the east coast, noon out west. did you happen to catch the republican debate last night? got really wild and everybody is even talking about it. even the candidates themselves. >> we had a terrific debate last night. everybody saw a career chron tsa. >> i'm not their attack anyone. we did plenty of that last night. >> when you have a demolition derby you don't want to be hit. >> i'll be so presidential that you people will be screaming, loosen up, president. >> in just moments i'll talk with one of the debate moderators, chris wallace. and watching donald trump just cancel on a big political conference, and if no candidate gets enough delegate support during the primaries, the majority, the showdown could
12:01 pm
actually move to the convention floor in july. just ahead, the chaos we could be seeing in cleveland. on day of bizarre news, word that cops in los angeles are testing a knife that someone found at oj simpson's old house. all that ahead in this hour of "shepard smith reporting." hello, i'm gregg jarrett in for shep. donald trump is skipping one of the biggest events on the republican campaign trail, the conservative political action conference, cpac. he says he'll campaign in kansas and florida instead. of course, florida is marco rubio's home state. most polls, though, show rubio losing to trump by double digits. today the donald changed his position on terror suspects and killing family members of terrorists. he stood by it at last night's
12:02 pm
fox news debate, but just an hour ago he claimed we would not violate laws banning torture. marco rubio today blasting donald trump for failing to talk about policy issues at the debate, and he also defended personal jabs he has taken against the front runner in. >> donald trump is personally assaulted and offended in terms of insults everybody, not only on the debate stage but everybody basically he can. the disabled, you name it. there's no end to his vulgarity, and there comes a point when someone like that needs to be confront. >> donald trump is defending his debate performance and also taking credit for the excitement surrounding the republican presidential campaign. >> the biggest story in all of politics is what is happening to the republican party, and i'm getting zero credit for it, and i should get all. they're not coming in for little marco, that i can tell you. [cheers and applause] >> millions of people are coming to vote. millions and millions of people
12:03 pm
are coming to vote for the republicans, and joining the republican party, because of me. because of me. and if i ever left, they would. >> away as fast as i would. they would go away. >> rubio is call only republican voters to unite behind him, but ted cruz says he's the only candidate who can take down trump. >> we are seeing discussions within the party about coming together. i think those discussions are happening among the candidates and are happening among the aclu-tivists and among the donors. there is no doubt if we remain divided, donald trump wins. >> ohio governor john kashich tried to paint himself as the sensible candidate with actually experience balancing a budget and solving problems. he yet to win a primary or caucus but he says he is the one to stop trump in ohio, a big winner take all state. >> if trump wins florida and
12:04 pm
ohio, it's ball game over. he's not going to win in ohio. i don't know about florida but he's not going to win in my state. >> all three of donald trump's rivals last night claimed they would support him if he actually wins the nomination. trump also said he would support the nominee if it's not a -- not him. carl cameron in detroit. do we know why trump is shifting his position oner to tour and killing family members over terrorists? >> reporter: these are positions he has had for several months and was asked about them last night and defended those positions, but this morning he issued a statement to the contrary. former cia and nsa director mike hayden said if trump were president and were to issue the orders the military would be obligated under the military code of conduct to disobey enemy because they would be unlawful orders, and it appears now that mr. trump has been schooled on
12:05 pm
that. part of his statement says, in part, quote: i will use every legal power i have to stop this terrorist enemies. i do, however, understand that the united states is bound by laws and treatied and i will not order our military or other officials to violate those laws and will seek their advice on such matters. trump has been constantly quizzed on which people he would pick at advisers or to give examples, and what he normally does is mention a handful of pundits on tvs or retired generals who are advisers to the media. he has not identified a great number of people, apart from alabama senator jeff sessions, who endorsed him and is now a senior adviser on foreign policy and other matters. trump is surely going to be changing positions. he said last night at the debate that one has to be flexible as the president. there needs to be a give and talk and there's always a negotiation to come to an outcome, which suggests as both
12:06 pm
ted cruz and marco rubio have warned, that trump may have told "the new york times" behind closed doors in an off the record op-ed that what the says on the campaign trail isn't necessarily what he believes but using as a starting negotiating position, with voters and policies were he to become president. trump said he will not go to the differ political action conference tomorrow, the biggest gathering of conservative activists from around the country, and was probably to face a certain degree of heckling from the stop trump crowd. instead he'll campaign in kansas, where he is likely to have a rally with several thousand people. his campaign has become very adroit at putting together events quickly and getting massive crowds to turn out, and all the other candidates will be visiting cpac. it's a very important event, and it does sort of raise questions about whether or not there can be a stop trump movement among the candidates after their pledge last night to support the
12:07 pm
nominee, even if it was donald trump, and trump having said, if it's not him, he'll sport the nominee. difficult to stop someone who you're actually willing to vote for president for. >> carl, thank you very much. let's turn to one of the moderators last night, chris wallace. well done last night. before we get to that, i want your recollection -- reaction to the sudden reversal of trump on torture and killing of family members of terrorists. what's your take? >> goes into my whole analysis of last night. itself was clear when trump came out on the stage in the first part of the debate, i thought the first hour was the best hour for trump -- then he is trying to pivot to a general election candidate, trying to be less blustery, to be more presidential, as carl pointed out, talking about how he would deal with congress, how he'll be flexible, and negotiate on positions, yes, he has
12:08 pm
principles but he would be flexible on immigration, and other issues, and i think to a certain degree, that tension between the old trump and the new general election more presidential trump is what you're seeing here on this issue, because his immediate reaction and what he said on the stage last night, if i give an order, they'll follow it, but i think that the implications of that today -- and whether he was talking to advisers or just thinking about it himself, toy nope -- but the idea you're going to give an order, even if it's illegal, and your soldiers are going to follow that? that's a problem, and i think he felt better to clean it up quick. >> right. somebody probably said, prosecutors at the hague would regard this as war crimes and crimes against humanity.
12:09 pm
the one thing about trump is you never catch him jahvid guard in the sense he's going to be at a loss for words. always going to come back pretty strongly. i don't know that he had very good specifics in the case of what i did with the full screen graphic, it is the problem in interviewing trump because he makes a lot of statements, throws around a lot of numbers, and seems to with 100% certainty, but when you go back and look at it afterwards you see that a lot of it just doesn't add up and that's why i prepared so intensely for the debate. i had a sense of the kind of things he talked about on the
12:10 pm
trail, about departments he's going to cut or savings from negotiating the better prices for medicare when it comes to drugs. they just don't add up. he inflates the amount of money he can save, and i thought it would be interesting to actually in real-time confront him, fact-check him right there live on the stage. he doesn't stammer and stutter, but he didn't really have a very good answer. >> it was very revealing. you also asked him quite directly about his incendiary rhetoric and mitt romney's criticism of that, quote, bullying, greed, third-grade theatrics. do you find it curious -- you have been covering presidential elections and candidates for a couple of three decades. do you find it curious that trump has so far sort of impervious to the fallout that would normally happen over that? >> well, absolutely.
12:11 pm
i've never seen another candidate like that. but this, again, gets to this tension between what attracts people to trump and certainly have gotten a devoted sector of the electorate, about 35% of republican voters, which if you save that's roughly half because there's also another party -- maybe 17-20% of the electorate. that gives him in a crowded field, enough to win primaries but not enough to get him elected president. so, on the one hand he has to remain authentic and genuine to himself and what attracted people in the first place, but on the other hand you have to find a way to expand it because what he has got now is not going to win him a general election, when he is facing not only republicans but also democratic voters as well, and you can see him trying to pivot. it's not easy. and with the other candidates attacking him he got dragged
12:12 pm
down into and it by the end it was lying ted and little marco, which doesn't get him very far down the presidential trail. >> real quickly. one have more striking moment is thought was when all of you asked the candidates if they would support donald trump if he becomes the nominee. they all said yes, and for marco rubio, who is savaged trump as a con man and said great many other things about him, that's going to require some intellectual and moral gymnastics, won't it? >> yeah. exactly. when you say this is a con man, a fraud, has been sticking it to the american people, trump university is a scam, and then he says, yeah, but i'll support him for president, the obvious question is, why? and i think in terms of that stage he doesn't want to be in a position of saying i'm not going to keep my pledge to support the republican nominee, and i guess he is hoping against hope it
12:13 pm
won't be trump and it will be him. but you have to figure some of those guys would have a very tough time really going out on the stump and speaking up for donald trump. let me just say, we have a great show on sunday. we'll be talking to rush limbaugh live, and he doesn't do television interviews, especially live television interviews. and always be speaking to mitt romney after his really rough speech going after donald trump. so limbaugh and romney on "fox news sunday," pretty good pair. >> we look forward it to. great job last night. really terrific. and thanks for speaking with us today. good to see you. >> thank you, gregg. >> just ahead, we'll take you to that big conservative conference in maryland where the presidential candidates are speaking, some of them, anyway. that's coming up. at ally bank, no branches equals great rates. it's a fact. kind of like grandkids equals free tech support.
12:14 pm
oh, look at you, so great to see you! none of this works. come on in. this is lloyd. to prove to you that the better choice for him is aleve. he's agreed to give it up. ok, but i have 30 acres to cover by sundown. we'll be with him all day as he goes back to taking tylenol. yeah, i was ok, but after lunch my knee started hurting again so... more pills. yep... another pill stop. can i get my aleve back yet? for my pain... i want my aleve. get all day minor arthritis pain relief with an easy open cap.
12:15 pm
12:16 pm
trump of course will not appear now at the conservative political action conference in maryland. other candidates are there, including senator ted cruz. he is scheduled to speak at cpac this afternoon. rich edson is there now. rich? >> reporter: gregg, senator ted cruz is scheduled to peek in an hour. his supporters have been vocal. after him is ben carson, carson's campaign says he will announce the future of his
12:17 pm
political movement. carson has not publicly suspended his campaign but well down in the polling and the delegate count and he says he sees no path forward to the nomination. we asked his campaign what he would say and they have no previews, so we'll hear from him quarter to 5:00. >> governor john kashich spoke today. what did he have to say? >> reporter: john kashich was the first 2016 candidate, at least the one who is still in the race, to speak earlier today. he is notable for he has not really engaged in the partisan bickering we saw in debate and throughout the campaign trail. he is well behind in the tell good at count but says he can still secure the nomination by the convention. >> it's not impossible. i have to win. after i win ohio, i have to win 68% of the remaining delegates. marco hawse to win like 64. and ted is somewhere around 59 or 60. it's unlikely. >> reporter: hoping to capture it at the convention.
12:18 pm
we'll hear from senator marco rubio tomorrow, making donald trump the only one in the 2016 campaign field not to address cpac by the time it wraps. back to you. >> rich edson, thank you very much. a floor fight at the convention may be the republican establishment's best shot at stopping donald trump. how exactly would that work? and how would trump supporters react if he has the most delegates but party bosses try to nominate somebody else. that's next. when they thought they should westart saving for retirement.le then we asked some older people when they actually did start saving. this gap between when we should start saving
12:19 pm
and when we actually do is one of the reasons why too many of us aren't prepared for retirement. just start as early as you can. it's going to pay off in the future. if we all start saving a little more today, we'll all be better prepared tomorrow. prudential. bring your challenges. this just got interesting. why pause to take a pill? or stop to find a bathroom? cialis for daily use is approved to treat both erectile dysfunction and the urinary symptoms of bph, like needing to go frequently, day or night.
12:20 pm

12:21 pm
12:22 pm
12:23 pm
>> well, a whole lot of variables. at this point might be about 50-50. it's been very hard for any of the other remaining candidates to get a majority so looks like either trump gets the majority or we go to the convention with no one on top. >> i want to take you back to 1976, going into the convention in kansas city. president ford has more delegates than ronald reagan, but not quite enough, so at the convention, both candidates tried to woo the uncommitted delegates. all kinds of maneuvering and deal-making, and in the end, gerald ford eeked it out and won on the first ballot. is that kind of scenario possible here? >> that kind of scenario is possible. again, there's so much time between now and then, a lot of things will happen. if we were to see a resolution before the first ballot it would take a pretty quick consensus between at least a couple of the
12:24 pm
remaining candidates, certainly sitting here right now it's hard to see that happening. >> after the first ballot, delegates are no longer committed to the candidates, that's the general rule. but you and i know that rules can be changed, and in fact they'll take you to 1980, the democratic convention, president jimmy carter had enough of the delegates going8u@om into the convention, but ted kennedy showed up and he said, i'm challenging that rule. i want all of the delegates to be allowed to be released. could somebody go into the republican convention in july and say, hey, we want to pull a ted kennedy here? >> well, there are two different things interacting here. a lot of the rules governing state delegates' commitments are a matter of state rules so there's that. and then there's the convention rules committee, which absolutely could change a lot of things but wouldn't be able, i don't think, to dislodge all of
12:25 pm
the delegates or enough delegates before the first ballot. >> so, if, let's say, donald trump doesn't win on the first ballot, the delegates are released. they're free agents. they can vote for anybody. so, it could be second, third, so on and so forth. back in 1948, dualey final -- dewey finally one on the third ballot. >> yes. >> in 1912, 46 ballots for woodrow wilson to win. i think the record was 103 ballots in 1924. a guy named john david, dark horse candidate, won. his could go on and on and on conceivably. >> something to remember is a lot of the rules changed after the johnson administration. the process for both parties del gates -- candidate selection was
12:26 pm
democratized and some of the earlier presidents are up like through to repeat but we could go multiple ballots if they go in with a delegate count and no one yields easily. >> a brokered convention, do you think, d and put on your professor had here. would that help whoever is the democratic nominee? >> i think it undeniably would. you think about bush vs. gore. voter i.d. laws, congressional district jerry where manager toking, the republican party has gotten good, if you don't like the election process, change the voters. in this case the undermining would be of the republican party's own voters and that would be a very difficult thing to recover from. >> well, as we approach the convention in mid-july, we may be coming back to you more and more, professor. thank you for being with us. >> thank you. >> there's a new report
12:27 pm
suggesting there's no evidence of foreign hacking in hillary clinton's private e-mail server except would really good hackers even leave any evidence behind? probably not. plus, the enormous development in the oj simpson case. police are testing a knife believed to be from of j. simpson's old estate and a retired cop claims he has had it for years hanging on the wall, coming up. mk i take pictures of sunrises.

after a dvt blood clot.mind when i got out of the hospital what about my family? my li'l buddy? and what if this happened again? i was given warfarin in the hospital but i wondered if this was the right treatment for me. then my doctor told me about eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots, but eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. knowing eliquis had both... turned around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness.

12:33 pm
used to stab to death simple sewn's ex-wife, nicole brown, and her friend, ronald goldman. a jury found simpson not guilty of murder. the investigation into the killings is still open and the o.j. trial is a hot topic thanks to our corporate cousin, fx in the middle of a miniseries on the case. los angeles. what else do we know about this knife? >> reporter: we only know two facts, those are that the l.a.p.d. has a knife in its possession and they took that knife from a retired l.a.p.d. officer. the l.a.p.d. captain who talked today, is a story that they're checking out. that story goes that this construction worker, who was on zz[e time it was being demolished by its new owners, walked out with the knife, having found it. found an off-duty l.a.p.d. cop, hand him the knife.
12:34 pm
and what did the cop do? you think he would turn it straight over to his superiors to be checked, but he didn't. he kempt it -- kept it. the l.a.p.d. became aware of its existence in the last come off months and took possession of it within the last month, and now they're having it rigorously tested. >> it is being treated as we would all evidence, so it has been submitted to our lab. they are going to study it and examine it for all forensics, including dna and hair samples and that is ongoing as we speak. >> reporter: now, the captain gave no timeline on getting the results of that testing, so no timeline on whether this will turn out to be a major development, gregg, or like so many other twists and turns in the story, a complete irrelevanty. >> sometimes you can recover dna even though it's been great many years, jonathan, police must be absolutely stunned nobody handed
12:35 pm
this over earlier. >> reporter: yeah. if that cop, who got the knife, actually believed that it had indeed come from the grounds of o.j.'s former home, there was clearly only one course of action. he should have taken. here's the captain again. listen. >> i was really surprised. i would think that an l.a.p.d. officer, if this story is accurate, as we're being told, would know that anytime you come into contact with evidence, that you should and shall submit that to investigators. >> reporter: we don't know the identity of that retired cop, gregg, and we do not know, neither does the captain, at this point, whether he might face any legal charges over not handing in that weapon at the time. >> an open investigation. better get a lawyer because there's a tricky little thing called obstruction of justice. jonathan, obviously prosecutors
12:36 pm
cannot put o.j. simpson on trial again. >> reporter: right. there's the law of double jeopardy. o.j. simpson was found not guilty of the murder of mick coal brown simpson and ronald goldman so whatever evidence is unearthed, he cannot be charged and cannot be tried again, as you look at the pictures of him then, the famous video of the individual being rendered back in 1995. remember this. this may be a legal implication for o.j. he is currently in prison in nevada, serving a long prison term, after his conviction on a separate armedok!r robbery char. his first chance of parole, gregg, is next year, and you have to think -- theser big ifs but if the weapon is found to be related to the murders, if o.j. is connected to that weapon, then how have to think that even in the backs of the minds of those considering his parole
12:37 pm
application, it might play some sort of role. >> of course, his explanation is going to be the same also the glove. police planted it. so, you can expect that to be -- >> reporter: absolutely. >> i guarantee you that's what he's going to say. jonathan, thank you. security logs from hillary clinton's controversial e-mail server show no evidence of foreign hacking according to "the new york times." it reports sources close to the federal investigation say that the department of state employee who set up clinton's server also turned over computer logs to the feds. his name is brian pagliano. last year he took the fifth at a hearing on capitol hill. yesterday we reported that the depth of justice has -- the department of justice has given him immunity. he told the feds the logs show nobody hacked the server, but an exhibiter hacker telling fox news, when it comes to spotting a cyberattack, the recorded are, quote, worthless.
12:38 pm
what else are the expects saying. >> former intelligence officials and experts told fox today the computer security logs don't tell the whole story because a cyberattack by a country like china or russia can be so sophisticated they're able to mag -- masquerade as mrs. clinton's computer and the logs will not show any unusual activity would would be more telling is the server and the router which are in fbi custody. they should know by now whether malicious code left behind. it's like a cyberfootprint. >> in the metadata of the server, there's always going to be dna of the attacker. that attacker dna will reveal/ o the fbi who did it, how they did it, the type of technology, and and evacuated by the technology to a third person.
12:39 pm
>> we don't know where the fbi's forensics review of that server stands. >> are investigators doing any other damage assessment? >> well, based on federal regulations the u.s. intelligence agencies who were affected are required to do damage assessments if their intelligence was found in the e-mails. it is mandated by law. the cia provide evidence sworn declarations that there were several dozen e-mails containing intelligence the highest level, including closely held government programs known as special access programs and human spying. the agencies we believe are in the process of determining whether sources or methods or relationships were damaged or lost for good. but what is interesting is that even the top office that manages the intelligence community, the director of national intelligence, won't even comment on the status and congress has also been kept out of the loop as well on what those damage assessments show. >> catherine herridge in washington.
12:40 pm
thank you very much. late attorney to lisa laker, the national politics report for are the "associated press." this e-mail case is now being handled by career prosecutors at the department of justice. we learned that from the attorney generalbeecently. know, through testimony from the fbi director, comey, that he is personally and deeply involved in overseeing this particular case, and now we have learned, as of yesterday, that a clinton staffer has been given, immunity. is this shaping up to have adzoñ very serious impact on the presidential election >> that's one other thing we know, right? none of this is particularly good politically for hillary clinton. it's just not good politics to have this kind of investigation hanging over your campaign, particularly as it looks like she is pretty likely to capture the nomination and is going to move into the general election.
12:41 pm
so, certainly this is not a good thing for her and the longer this investigation continues, the more there will be, as she put it recently, slow drip of information that keeps until the news and keeps it at the forefront of voters minds and also support of supports questions about her trust worthiness some people have. >> the democratic convention begins on july 25th so the clock is ticking here. if somebody is criminally indicted before then, even if it's not hillary clinton but, let's say, one of more offer her that put on her election? >> well, think so far what i've seen at least from talking to voters all over the country, and states that held primaries and from folks here in washington, is this e-mail situation is sort of a rorschach test for how clinton. those who don't like her see it as definitely evidence of
12:42 pm
criminal activity. those who like here see it as a vast right-wing conspiracy. er is there's a criminal indictment that could change and this could be more influential how voters look at her, including independent voters who are more important as the case moves from primary campaign to a general:íuñyj election. >> there's nothing in the constitution and never a law passed by congress that says a presidential candidate or president cannot be simultaneously indicted, but from a practical standpoint, if that were to happen, what then? she'd have to bow out even though she is not legally required? >> certainly she would be under a lot of political pressure to do so, particularly from democrats who are already worried about this and would be more worried if she was criminally indicted, but i think there's ways this investigation could cause problems for her
12:43 pm
long before anyog7;çççw3 kind f indictment. if an indictment is going to happen, which we don't know. let's say the fbi requests her to come in for an interview, which looks like something that could happen. that's not good for her either way. she said she would do it. the optics of her being interviewed by the fbi, even if she hasn't done anything wrong, it's not the kind of image any presidential campaign wants at all during the midst of an election season. >> she could be deposed in the other indications as well and then you have to be careful you don't contradict yourself because you're looking at perjury and obstruct of justice. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> on monday, bernie sanders will be sitting down with bret baier for a town hall in detroit. the night before the michigan primary. fox news invited hillary clinton to be there but staffers said she has a scheduling conflict, so it's bernie sanders for the
