andrea: very special thank you to peter johnson, jr. on this special day. weep keep you for "outnumbered overtime." "outnumbered overtime" you know where to find us. look us up on the web. fire us the questions. we will see you back here at noon eastern. "happening now" starts right now. >> fox news, police arrested four islamic radicals. >> as france remains on the edge, we are covering all of the news "happening now". a ground breaking new system to get you through airport security safely. >> it is the ability to detect explosives in a number of ways is very, very important. >> will it slow you down? >> what is your emergency. >> chilling 911 call after a sheriff's deputy found his

wife dead, suicide with a gun. >> i didn't shoot my wife. >> he is now in court charged with murder and testifying against him is his own children. >> and is there any end in sight? it is all "happening now". >> and we begin with the presidential candidates looking ahead to the race for the white house. welcome to the second hour of "happening now". i am jon scott. >> and i am heather childers. donald trump had wins in three states. and cruz said it is now a two man race. kasich won the state of ohio.

senator rubio exiting the race. and the outcome in missouri remains too close to call for both parties. trump leading the pack with 646 delegates. and cruz 397 and kasich 142. >> in the democratic race senator sanders focusing in arizona after losing four states last night. hillary clinton holds the double number of delegates. but clinton could have an uphill battle when it comes to turn out. here is president obama's 2008 campaign manager with megyn kelliy. >> she will have to work hard to get the latino and young turn out. and after eight years of democrats in the white house

they may be ready for a change. trump is creating enthusiasm out there. i don't want to overstate the turn out between trump and republicans. but there is energy in the republican caucuses. and that is a warning sign and you better deal with it and address it. >> we have a tony a straft gist and emily campaign director of center for american progress action fund. welcome to both of you. tony, to you first. david said there is a difference between a democratic coalit the >> he put the stinger on the key. barak obama galvanized large turn outs from young voters and millennials and single women and hispanics. they are natural for the democratic party. but don't turn out at the same

rate of enthusiasm and that is what barak obama was able to do. he was able to win despite the bad economy and approval ratings below 50 percent. hillary's problem where she won big, she's losing, voters under 45. she's losing single woman. the unmarried women and a growing key demographic to bernie sanders. when you see republican enthusiasm and turn out doubling in the key battleground states of ohio, florida and north carolina and virginia several weeks ago, they are indicators when you go in a general election match up, enthusiasm is on the right. and in the year there is a toxic attitude toward the establishment. hillary will run into a problem when it comes to people

galvanized to turn out for her. >> emily, can hillary excite the obama coalition the same way he did? is >> i think it is there, but the striking numbers in the primary is is the millennial voter she lost with high margins to sanders. they are now very engaged in the process and would turn out for her if she is the nominee against trump or cruz. so i think it is it an assumption they will not turn out. but it seems like they will be there and the enthusiasm for trump and cruz works on both side ises. there are just as many people who would not want to see them as president, than do want to see them as president. the challenge for clinton is to present exciting new and serious. she's run the campaign as the

person who needs to govern on the platform. it is less sexy. but if she can continue on in that track and you have this up against trump who is the republican nominee, there is a lot of people said that is not what i am all going about. i will go with a candidate that is serious. >> let's look at the republican side in florida. turn out up 21 percent and in ohio up 26 percent. you can attribute that to the state governor. and illinois up pen percent and only in north carolina is there a drop. all of the other states on the democratic stops. florida down 2.9 and missouri 24 percent.

illinois, two and half percent. doesn't that suggest that you know, for whatever reason there is excitement on the republican side that is just not there on the democratic side? >> there is a lot of the conversation and excitement for trump whether foreor against him in the republican primary. you can't do my that is dominated 24 hours of news coverage for months and two factors to look at. one, there are many more candidates on the republican side than on the democratic side. and when clinton says she has more raw voters, that is true. but the other thing, you have to question trump or any republican candidates are pulling the votes from? democrats or independents. trump is attracting new people to the party and primaries, but he is pulling them from republican voters who vote in

general elections as opposed to primaries and not expanding the votes. >> that's not true. you saw 20000 independent voters in massachusetts and 50,000 in a state of pennsylvania reregister as republicans. and many seasoned voices in the democratic party do and i give them credit. you cannot underestimate donald trump. the former governor of pennsylvania said trump will put pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin in play because he does add, while you are add there are people in the northeast and republicans in the new york and in other cities who don't like trump, he's going to add more presumably in the working white class kind of voters that you find in the swing states that we have not won in years since 1998 in some

cases. it does change the math. and donald trump, some on the left are doing is wrong. i credit david plouffe. and i credit them for realizing the nature of the battle with trump as nominee. >> there is anger in the electorate on both sides. bernie sanders candidacy angerred by the voters. and donald trump talked about the voters last night. listen. >> is there anger from your people? there is anger. they are not angry people but they want to see the country properly run. they want to see board pers and health care and military rebuilt. our military is in a bad state. they want it rebuilt. [applause] very, very importantly and they

want the second amendment protected strongly. and that is going to happen. >> emily those are not particularly republican or democratic talking points. it is what people want. >> those are not talking point ps. they are just gentleman statements trying to harness on the anger that is out there and that is true and that is a big factor in the race. in the general election the coalitions will change. going into the election, people thought it would be a base turn out and solified in the last presidential cycles. but the math is going to change a bit. there will be independents that move over because of the anger. people are interested in trade what trump is talking about. what are the policies impacting them, we know know that people are looking at clinton. and voters that come up for

trump number one issue is someone who had experience outside of government. >> one person we are not talking about much is the guy nipping at trump's heels. ted cruz. >> do you want a candidate that shares your values or a candidate who spent decades opposing your values. network suit want donald trump as nominee. and that's why they gave him hundreds and millions in free advertising, because they are partisan democrats ready for hillary and know that donald is the one person on the face of the earth that hillary clinton can beat in the general election. but the media, aren't going to decide the election, the voters will. >> is ted cruz right?

can hillary beat ted cruz, i mean donald trump. all of them beat hillary clinton clearly. but it is trump who struggled in the the poll ps. trade is an area where trump gains the reagan democrat in pennsylvania and ohio and michigan. he has more trustworthiness on that than clinton who was pro trade and nafta and tpp. i think ted cruz has a shot. but donald trump has turned it into a populs election as has sanders. >> thank you. >> the big story, president obama throwing down the gauntlet

to the republicans. republicans have stood firm saying they will block any name submitted by the white house before the election. what are they saying about the prospect of a well known moderate? and here's reaction from capitol hill. >> good afternoon, heather. republican leaders continue to maintain the position that the supreme court vacancy should factor in the 2016 presidential election and the republicans will insure that the next president fills this vacancy. and the democrats called the republicans obstructionism. and harry reid said the senate's constitutional responsibility to consider the nomination of meric garland. >> a hundred years we have had this and he and his congress

have no consideration for the nominee. it is hard to compreend. that's what he said. it appears all republicans fall in line with this. >> reporter: republicans are pointing to a 1992 statement from vice-president biden in a election year in the term of president bush. we should consider the judiciary committee not scheduling hearings. biden said he was urging the senate to fix the broken process. republicans are applying the biden rule here. >> it seems clear that president obama made the nomination, not with the intent of seeing the nom no confirmed but in order to politicize it for purposes of the election which is the type of thing then senate judiciary

chairman biden was concerned about. >> reporter: other republicans said he would happily consider the nomination of merrick garland if the next president nominates him. >> anti- terrorism police in france have thwarted an imminent attack on the capital of paris. four people were arrested. we'll follow the breaking story overseas and we are following the developments here at home. hillary clinton and donald trump winners in florida. get your credit swagger on. go to experian.com. become a member of experian credit tracker and take charge of your score.

clinton. fox exit polls offer insight the reason things went the way they did in the sunshine state. phil, you have been with me since before the sun came out. how do the exit polls look now. >> reporter: fox news conducted exit polls and interviewed 1600 voters. and this is what we found. donald trump wins 75 percent of all early deciders and even though late decider ares breakaway from trump he had a lead and won. republicans that are angry with the federal government made out of four out of ten in every state and trump wins the angry voters. republicans who fell bep trayed by the politician are half and again trump wins these votes.

here is where the anti- trump pose a problem. would they consider trump versus clinton. four out of ten republican voters said they would. and now to the democrats, in all states hillary clinton won over sanders in the core group women, seniors and blacks and voters who want a candidate with experience. when asked if clinton was honest and trustworthy, 24 percent said she is. and a third of the democrats don't think she is honest. sanders has a higher ranking. and democrats asked who is better to beat trump if he is the nom no find clinton 75 percent feeling that in florida to it 58 percent in missouri where sanders polled closer.

and all of the recent protest and clashes had minimal impact on donald trump. heather? >> phil keating live for us in miami. >> well, president obama is challenging republicans to block the supreme court nominee and the republicans are standing firm on not holding hearings on judge garland. how could that affect the election. and news is troubling after a antiterror raid in brussels. >> at least two-persons opened fire. cleared

>> right now president obama is challenging the republicans in the senate to knife judge -- judge up or down vote. president obama said he chose a serious man at a time for the senate to get serious about the nation's business. >> at a time when norms and customs of political rhetoric and terms and it is treated like they are disposable. this is the time when we should play it straight and treat the process of appointing the supreme court justice with the seriousness and care it deserves. >> and i am joined by our legal

panel. wendy, to you first. judge anton scalia i hero to conservatives, is judge garland that same man? >> he's not that same man, jon. he's not the polar opposite an stop scalia. he is far more moderate than the nominees that president obama could have selected here is the thing. what we normally would do, if it was a nominee, he spent 19 years on the court of appeals. and there is a lot of information to vet. but the gop leaders are not looking through the 19 years which i might point out is noncontroversial. but there is soft on the second amendment opinions out there.

none of that is not going to matter if judge garland will not get a hearing. >> he strikes people as being tough law and order background. >> jon, we live in a society filled with terrorism and with threats of danger on a daily basis. and what you have with mar rick garland. a man who left a high paying judge to work under judge bush to prosecute violent crime. and took on the oklahoma city bombing case and una-bomber case and he is not reluctant to seek the death penalty and the message that obama picked was a moderate and a guy who will hold criminals accountable and there will be serious political

repercussions for the republican party if mitch mcconnell will not hold hearings. and heather put up the exit polls, you saw it. all five states, people are are upset and fed up and betrayed by the federal government and feel betrayed and the senate is not even going to hold hearings? this will hurt the republican candidate. >> you are talking about a federal government that is led by the democrat in the white house. >> you know. >> hold on wendy. >> just consider that for a second, brian. the president is running the administration for seven years. >> but the problem and i am a registered republican and trump advocate. but i heard kasich's speech last night. we all need to live for a purpose above us. the nurse is working hard and teacher is working hard for kid

when they are tired. what about with the republican senate, who drag their feet on trying to at least having a colloquy with obama to have begun control legislation? and i think the republican party has to take a close look at this. if they take obama's bait this could be a blow in the general election. >> i am not sure all of the animist falls on the u.s. senate. wendy, the president said to stop the scorch dirt politics, but compared his opponents to the terrorist. >> this raises so many raw issues. here we are are, there is a policy dispute at whether or not this man would be acceptable to either side. it is not the first time he was nominated and is a issue

separate and apart and whether or not they will consider a nominee until the next president is sworn in. the bottom line here, lady justice is blind, but jurist are not. both sides need to make sure the next nominee is someone they can live with. we have an empty chair. the supreme court is not plagued with 5- 4 seasons, it would be nice to have that vacancy filled. you heard the republican leadership is steadfast and january is going to be here, and i don't expect them to reverse course. >> most of the very controversial decisions do come down 5- 4. >> that is a very good point and what are we going to consider between now and then that would come down 5- 4. good point. >> wendy and brian, we'll say

good bye and see what happens to the nomination and whether or not judge gar land gets a hearing. >> in the meantime we are following a disturbing story out of france. four suspects were arrested for plotting an attack on that capital city. plus could john kasich's win last night force an a liiance. >> the idea that those guys be pushed aside. my hunch they will join forces to block a third person emerging just out of sheer anger.

this is all i got, okay. this is all i got and all i can say is thank you from the my heart and i want you to know something, we are going all the way to cleveland and secure the republican nomination. >> oh, the ups and downs of campaign 2016 with marco rubio out and john kasich in and notching his first win and the republican party is inching closer to a contested convention. in a social coverage of american headquarters, former speaker newt gingrich had that possibility with bret baier. >> it is hard for me to imagine we'll get to the end of the particular process and not shrunk the options to be either trump or cruz. >> you don't buy contested and

go to a second or thir ballot and the person who brings the party together is not one of those two? >> it is insane. you live in a age of television and social media millions of people have voted and two strong personality ares and trump and cruz are not shrinking violets. and the idea that someone would magically appear and push those two guys aside. my hunch is they would probably join forces to block another person just out of sheer anger. they are disrupt the system candidates and will not turn it over to someone who represents the establishment. >> lisa booth is a republican strategist and contributor to the republican establishment. and single contributor to forbes.com. and on sirius xm radio. thank you for joining us.

then there were three. lisa, where did rubio go wrong? >> i think rubio went wrong because he couldn't figure out who he was as a cand uponidate. you start out with 17 candidates representing different lanes of the republican party if you will. and i think that marco rubio was all over the map as a candidate. tried to run the optimistic and then negative with donald trump and a failure to look at who he is. looking at ted cruz or john kasich or donald trump they are themselves. and voters couldn't figure out if he was establishment or conservative or sort of all over the map. >> he bowed out but has not thrown his support behind anyone. do you think that flip flopping

did him in. >> he ran as tea party candidate when he won the seat to the florida, and couple of years later he is the darling of the establishment. that doesn't typically work with out. that shows too much movement and go along to get what he wanted and people didn't buy it. >> let's talk about kasich, it is all the way to cleveland. he's not backing down. and he will not get out of. it what does that mean for the nomination process moving forward? >> it means a tough road for republicans. and longer he stays in. and the more likely the possibility of a contested convention, first time in 68 years. i mean, the consist and the vitrol from the voters to the party is not understated.

look at exit polling. north carolina and howard jarvis and the sheer amount of voters who believe that the republican partythem. and you can see first time. there is only one candidate in history who has not served as a politician or military connection that is a majority, major party nominee. there is a lot of history being made and you can't under estimate the anger from the voters right now. >> rick, in terms of a contested convention. strange a liiance. >> there will be. just to early how they will shake out. it will all hit the fan in the rule's committee. each upon one will want to gain control. kasich can't. and trump may or may not be able to. rule 40 b.

we heard about it when they raise the number of states you have to win. we don't know ted cruz can get there. but john kasich won't. the first a liiance would be trump/cruz to keep kasich from being nominated and if cruz were not to get to eight you will see kasich and cruz to align. it will be remarkable. >> and i asked dennis, he said a liiance between cruz and -- just went black. cruz and kasich, and so another one there. thank you for joining us. thanks. >> now a fox news alert. french police arrest four people suspected of planning an attack in paris.

this as searching for two suspectses in belgium. greg? >> in the half-hour, we heard from the interior minister and yes, confirms in the the early hours of this morning in and around paris, four different people were arrested and yes, they were thought to be involved in a possible or suspected attack on the french capital. this comes four months after the isis- backed terrorist group that left 130 people dead in paris. those arrested today have ties with radical islam. and one convicted of trying to go to syria to wage jihadi and well known in the terrorist circles. all of this a day in belgium and the capital of brussels. those inside of the department

alleged allegedly confessing to the murder. 28-year-old ashleigh and her husband were having a party. according to opening statements today she told guest she had a miscarriage. at one point according to prosecutors, she decided she could drink alcohol. she and her husband, tom fowler, a sheriff's deputy went to their bedroom and argued. that's when ashleigh was shot in the head. the end dispute is whether she shot herself or he did. they said they think law enforcement helped protect one of their own. in opening statements prosecutors told jurors he was angry at his wife for her behavior. >> he was holding on to who? i really don't want you to drink. she assured him. >> in her opening the defense attorney claims police gave media pressure to bring charges. the teen questioned the neighbors saying he overheard

the defendant saying he couldn't believe he shot her. the defense said ashleigh was distraught over miscarrying. >> she wasn't on her mental health medication. she was intoxicated and just suffered a miscarriage. she was a pressure cooker. >> and heather, the judge has ruled that the couple's three young children can and will testify. heather. >> alicia reporting live for us, thank you. >> which country do you think has the happiest people on earth? a new study has an answer in our final 30 next.
