they keep wrapping me. >> a likely excuse, trace. i'll let you off the hook today. have a great day, thanks. all right. thanks for being part of the real story today. i promised i was going to show you voting pictures, so many cute ones, lots of babies. hope to get to them tomorrow. have a great day. it is 3:00 on the east coast, noon on the west coast. and hello, cleveland. hope you're ready for tension at the convention. donald trump threatening riots if he's not the nominee. and even after donald trump knocked out marco rubio and picked up delegates, he has a tough road to the republican convention. ahead, what trump needs to pull off to lock it down. and what john kasich and ted cruz need to do if they want a shot at stopping the trump train. plus, reports some conservative leaders are set to gather tomorrow to take on donald trump. is a third party candidate a real option? or would it make things easier for the democrats and their
12:01 pm
likely nominee, hillary clinton? we have the poll that could answer that question. and are you tired of the political fighting? too bad. today president obama ignited another fire by naming a supreme court nominee which the republicans pledged to ignore. let's get to it. first from the fox news deck this wednesday afternoon, not trump out of the running, today donald trump warns there will be riots if the rivals try to stop his nomination. contested convention is looking more likely after john kasich's win in ohio last night. if donald trump does not pick up a majority of delegates to clench the nomination, kasich and cruz say they'll fight it out on the convention floor. donald trump is warning supporters are down to fight as well. >> i think you would have problems like you've never seen before. i think bad things would happen.
12:02 pm
i believe that. i wouldn't lead it but i think bad things would happen. >> spokesman for the republican national committee says he assumes trump is speaking figuratively. look at the delegate count as it stands this afternoon. donald trump is clearly in the lead as you can see. there's ted cruz at the red bar, could win the nomination outright, he could. gray shows if each candidate wins every delegate still available. his loss in ohio, trump's loss in ohio to make things much harder. ted cruz would need to win the vast majority of remaining delegates to clinch the nomination, something almost every analyst says is impossible. for john kasich, it is impossible, absolutely impossible to reach the required number, even if he wins every single delegate up for grabs for the rest of the contest. contested convention is kasich's only hope. his backers defend the strategy by arguing that a lot can change before july, polls show john kasich has the best shot at
12:03 pm
beating the democratic nominee, the party would be suicidal to pick anybody else. obviously his rivals aren't buying that. ted cruz didn't mention john kasich in his speech last night, really ignoring him. today he said kasich should just drop out. >> i think any candidate, if you don't have a clear path to winning, it doesn't make sense to stay in the race. i would note every day john kasich stays in the race benefits donald trump. >> as for donald trump himself, seems he is over all the primary business. today donald trump said he will not take part in the fox news debate scheduled monday by the republican national committee. after that, john kasich said if trump is not coming, he is not either. that leaves ted cruz, one person. since debates require persons, not person, the debate is cancelled. lots of overtime pay off the table. hope the candidates can sleep at night. john roberts is on it from miami. >> i was looking forward to going to salt lake city, too,
12:04 pm
what a shame. donald trump has a love, hate relationship with debates. end of debate he says i had fun, enough with debates already, how many times can you be asked the same question. with kasich and cruz not going to the debate, likely the next time a republican is in the debate is in the general election campaign. donald trump already making a pivot toward the general election campaign as in he have itability of his nomination gross with every contest he wins. earlier on instagram putting out advertisment that features hillary barking like a dog in face of big threats facing america. watch this. before donald trump's opponents go crazy about him portraying
12:05 pm
hillary clinton as barking like a dog, she was barking like a dog from an event in reno, recounting a tale about a dog trained to bark at lying politicians. he just turned it to his advantage. >> what's john kasich saying about contested convention? >> he is looking forward to it. as you pointed out at the top, that's the only way john kasich can possibly become the nominee, he is welcoming it. that's his strategy. now with kasich having won ohio last night and vowing to stay in all the way to the convention in july, the likelihood of somebody else coming in with the majority of delegates and being the de facto nominee grows slimmer and slimmer. here's kasich. >> i don't think anybody will have enough delegates. i think cruz has to get 70% of remaining delegates. and we're going into where my strength is. >> ted cruz also says he wouldn't mind a contested convention. remember, shep, there's a difference between a contested convention and brokered convention. a contested convention is
12:06 pm
decided by elected delegates. a brokered convention is the proverbial smoke filled room where party bosses pick who they want to put forward as president. >> john roberts, thanks. bring in rebecca berg from real politics. nice to see you. >> thanks for having me, shep. >> contested convention. can you see it? >> i can see it, so can john kasich and ted cruz. it is the best hope for republicans that don't want donald trump to be the nominee at this point. ohio is going to make it possible. if donald trump had won ohio and florida last night, the thought, the idea, the chances of contested convention would have narrowed. >> did you hear him threaten riots? >> what's that, shep? >> did you hear donald trump threaten riots? if you block my nomination, there will be riots. >> obviously republican national committee saying they don't see it as a threat but a metaphor, this is in keeping with the violent protesting we have seen
12:07 pm
at donald trump's campaign events. he has come under criticism from fellow candidates for his rhetoric, for potentially inciting this violence. it is in keeping with the tone he has been using but also the tone he has been criticized for. i think what republicans, especially party leaders who asked donald trump to soften his tone, including mitch mcconnell earlier when he was on a call with donald trump, i think party leaders are hoping and pushing for donald trump to soften his tone as he pivots potentially toward general election because right now, he is the most likely republican nominee and has to think of implications for the general election and the party's reputation moving forward. >> in a normal campaign cycle, whatever that is, one minus donald trump, republicans would coalesce around a candidate with so much momentum, brought in so many new people to the party. do you see a time when the party coalesces around donald trump? >> it is hard to see it. certainly won't be the sort of
12:08 pm
coalescing we expect in a normal election cycle like we saw with mitt romney in 2012, for example. there are still many republicans who say they will never support donald trump, even in the general election, much less at the convention. i was talking to some republicans last night, trying to gauge what they thought about the party, whether it could coalesce around donald trump. one republican suggested to me that as much as 30% of the party might not be comfortable ever supporting donald trump. we will see if it changes as we near the convention and potential donald trump nomination. i could see that coming into fruition. >> some important primaries, pennsylvania and others ahead. what do you see important in the days and weeks ahead? >> depends on the candidate we're talking about. we have a few big winner take all primaries. arizona is one in the next week, wisconsin is another. those are going to be big opportunities for john kasich or ted cruz to step up and make a
12:09 pm
stand, but donald trump is favored in those states. ted cruz is looking at utah next week as a potential opportunity for him. he has done well among mormon states, it is a caucus state which helps ted cruz as well, and john kasich is looking much farther down the primary calendar to end of april really, targeting maryland, pennsylvania, some other states on the eastern seaboard, so we'll see if he can keep himself in the conversation with a calendar that doesn't favor his candidacy at this moment. >> rebecca berg from real politics, great to see you. >> thanks, shep. if you're not a trumper, what do you do? you heard what's happening tomorrow. there's word conservative leaders are plotting a possible third party run by somebody to try to stop donald trump. we will speak with a veteran republican strategist about whether that could back fire. gop leaders said don't even bother.
12:10 pm
they say the next president should fill the seat. the constitution disagrees. we will hear from judge andrew napolitano coming up on deck this wednesday afternoon. don't let a cracked windshield ruin your plans. trust safelite. with safelite's exclusive "on my way text" you'll know exactly when we'll be there. giving you more time for what matters most.

talk to your doctor about pradaxa today. came out today thousands of people to run the race for retirement. so we asked them... are you completely prepared for retirement? okay, mostly prepared? could you save 1% more of your income? it doesn't sound like much, but saving an additional 1% now, could make a big difference over time. i'm going to be even better about saving. you can do it, it helps in the long run. prudential bring your challenges today i am nominating chief judge merrick brian garland for the supreme court. >> what promises to be a partisan showdown on capitol hill, another one. the president challenges republicans that say they will
12:13 pm
not consider any supreme court nominees by selecting a man that by most counts is respected on both sides of the aisle. he is chief judge at the federal court of appeals in washington. spent almost 19 years on the federal bench. before that, he was a prosecutor that oversaw among other things investigation of the oklahoma city bombing and case against the unabomber. analysts say garland is a moderate judge that won praise from conservatives and liberals. >> this is not a win for the president. judge garland is the most conservative nominee to the supreme court by a democratic president in the modern era. >> today the president called on senate republicans to give judge garland a fair hearing and up or down vote. >> if you don't, then it will not only be an abdication of the senate's duty, it will --
12:14 pm
>> republicans leaders stick by the pledge not to consider the nominee until the next president takes office. shannon bream covers the supreme court for us is live in washington. got any odds on this happening? >> shep, you know before we got a name, senate republicans said basically it is going nowhere. all the gop members of the senate judiciary committee banding together, writing a letter, saying they're not holding a hearing. that didn't change after they got the nomination today. they got the name. they said the name doesn't make a difference. here's what senate majority leader mitch mcconnell said. >> it is a president's right to nominate a supreme court justice and it is the senate to act as a check on a president and withhold its consent. >> weeks ago many of the senators said they wouldn't even take a meeting. that seems to be changing now that we have garland's name, several now say and you see them on the screen, up for re-election, that they'll have a
12:15 pm
conversation, phone call, maybe meeting with the nominee. >> what more can you tell us about judge garland, shannon? >> he is well respected as an intellectual, fair judge. he graduated from harvard law, mix of private practice and many years as federal prosecutor, overseeing investigation and prosecution of the unabomber and oklahoma city bombing. he talked about that experience today, about working with the people of oklahoma city and staying true to the constitution, while bringing perpetrators to justice. he talked about it in the context of being a judge as well. here's what he said. >> people must be confident that a judge's decisions are determined by the law and only the law. for a judge could be worthy of such trust, he or she must be faithful to the constitution and to the statutes passed by congress. >> of course those are magic words to conservative critics who say they're not so sure that's exactly how he would be
12:16 pm
as a judge. shep? >> sounds like there's an outside effort to oppose the nomination. >> absolutely. the right leaning nonprofit group america rising said it has a dozen researchers vetting garland's background. they'll be going to law libraries and scoping out people who knew the judge, looking at everything in his background. there's another conservative group, judicial crisis network preparing a $2 million ad buy, opposing his nomination. that's the group that preemptively started to run ads against another short lister, judge jane kelly who wound up not being nominee. concerns about the second amendment and his view of use of executive power, and referring to agencies like the epa. shep? >> shannon, presidential candidates weighed in now, right? >> yes. before garland's name was announced today, gop frontrunner donald trump said it should be left to the next president. also on the campaign trail, 2016
12:17 pm
contender and senate judiciary member ted cruz sticking by his opposition to moving forward on any nominee including garland. he says garland is the kind of nominee you get when you make a washington deal. obviously he would have a different pick. as for ohio governor john kasich, he told a crowd at a campaign stop that a president shouldn't stiff the legislative body by rushing to a decision that isn't in the country's best interest. what about on the other side of the aisle. will the democrat leading contender praised garland and added evaluating and confirming a justice to sit on the highest court should not be an exercise in brings man ship and posturing. bernie sanders praised garland as a strong nominee and called on chuck grassley to go ahead and hold the hearings. on that, i would not hold your breath. back to the republican race for the presidency, talk of a third party conservative candidate to take on donald trump. some heavy hitters are about to
12:18 pm
get together to talk this strategy, but would voters go along with it? we'll show you the numbers. and ronald reagan's political director will weigh in on the plan. that's next. that is until one of you clips a food truck, ruining your perfect record. yeah. now you would think your insurance company would cut you some slack, right? no. your insurance rates go through the roof... your perfect record doesn't get you anything. anything. perfect. for drivers with accident forgiveness, liberty mutual won't raise your rates due to your first accident. see car insurance in a whole new light. liberty mutual insurance.

12:20 pm
12:21 pm
21 minutes past the hour. conservative leaders, whoever they are, plan to meet tomorrow to talk about how to stop donald trump again. this is from reporting of politico. it reports that organizers of the pow wow plan to push for a third party candidate if trump is the gop nominee. fox news exit poll shows about 40% of republicans that voted in last night's primary say they would indeed consider a third party candidate if donald trump versus hillary clinton in novice a reality. polls showed 50% of primary voters wanted the next president
12:22 pm
to be a political outsider. ed rollins live with us in studio. who are these people coming together, what are they hoping to accomplish? >> conservatives that make a living off being conservatives, magazines and what have you. no bill buckley or somebody that brings them all together. my sense is fringe players, and i don't disrespect any of them, getting on a third ballot is very difficult. michael bloomberg with a billion dollars chose not to. lot of signatures, going outside the parties, the parties control most of the state structure. you can have a pat buchanon, ralph nader, be a fringe candidate and maybe deny trump not the nomination but presidency, and make it hillary and pay every price of that. >> wouldn't that divide the republican party? >> no question could be divided
12:23 pm
easily. take three, four percent off, the two parties are closely divided, this is an election four or five point margin between them. take 3 or 4% from either side -- >> is this fair, ed? a lot of people were voted in mid terms in the last couple cycles, making promises that they knew they couldn't keep. we are going to repeal, get rid of obamacare, knew they couldn't. said a lot of things they knew they couldn't do. but voters didn't know that. and now they proved they can't do it, so they throw the bums out and bring in bums with bigger promises, i am going to deport them all, and. >> all the promises on both sides can't be lived with. first of all, donald trump needs to read the constitution, he has to share the power. congress won't give him appropriation to do a wall. that's the drill he started
12:24 pm
with. the wall. you have to be a better president than people there. at the end of the day, you have divided congress, we are going to hold the house, no question. democrats could take back the senate. my sense is two years, four years from now, the public will be just as frustrated. >> this isn't a new poll to you. the number of gop primary voters that feel betrayed by republican party politicians, that seems to be about ones that came in and made promises they knew from the beginning they could not keep and then the electorate didn't realize it, the same way they don't realize you said donald trump can't keep his promises either. >> one party doesn't want to raise money, taxes, the other party wants to protect entitlements and raise taxes on the rich, you're at an impasse. we are divided, age divided, race divided. my sense a chism between us a long time. >> tomorrow we can discount? >> i think you have to see what
12:25 pm
they come up with. there's no big national name that's going to run. one conservative in the race still, cruz. most of his supporters aren't going to go to washington and join with some band that's going to go off to run a third party, and where did you get the money. hillary will spend $2 billion, trump is talking about going to rnc for a billion dollars. costing a lot of money around presidential campaigns. >> two things are possible. you're in and your people are in and you have the power, or you're out and your people are out and the other people have the jobs and power. should that lead us to believe that no matter what happens in this fog of war as we stand in the trees that republicans will coalesce around donald trump? >> i think it depends, if he sets a different tone than the primaries. you do what you have to do in the primaries, but if he keeps talking about things that are foolish and can't do, people will say i am not throwing my vote away again.
12:26 pm
>> the list of things he said so far are not killers in the general? >> not yet. no way he can build a wall. nice promise, but congress won't -- >> there's deporting 11 million. >> can't do those things. again, it is a shared power. congress will never, like repeal obamacare. if he gets to be president, maybe you do that. but what do you put in as a substitute. you have to put in something as a substitute. there's still not policy, it is personality. trump is marketing himself. there's no campaign structure out there, just him. and us, we helped him by putting him on tv every day. obviously he has become a big figure. >> ed rollins, always good to hear from you. >> thank you. democrats ahead, hillary clinton aides say she's almost unstoppable. bernie sanders says he will fight all the way to convention. we'll get the latest on that race, breakdown what a clinton trump matchup might look like. hundreds of thousands of people looking for a different

12:32 pm
hillary's got this thing, hillary clinton tightening her grip on the democratic nomination, but bernie sanders says he is not out of the running yet. secretary hillary clinton on the verge of sweeping last night. missouri still too close to call. exit poll showed black voters in each of the state favored clinton. 80% in florida and north carolina. according to the latest delegate count, secretary clinton is two-thirds of the way to clinching the nomination, when you factor in super delegates. party leaders that can change
12:33 pm
their mind. party leaders say sanders has not cut into clinton's lead. the only hope is to pile up l d landslide victories. they say the race is shifting to places sanders has the advantage. ed henry on the democrats live from miami this afternoon. clinton is clearly looking past bernie sanders. >> yeah, she is, shep. what's interesting is that last night this was a full stop of bernie sanders momentum in midwest. so much made about his come back victory in michigan. but as you noted, a sweep for clinton, at least ohio, illinois, missouri still too close to call. what she was saying basically in her remarks in florida after winning big here by the way, really rung up delegates for her. she was talking as if she's
12:34 pm
already ready to be president. >> every candidate, every candidate makes promises like this, but every candidate owes it to you to be clear and direct about what our plans will cost and how we're going to make them work. that's the difference between running for president and being president. >> reporter: she spent a lot of time last night and has on the trail recently going after republican frontrunner donald trump directly to send a message to democrats, time to wrap this up, get behind her so she can focus on the general election. david plouffe told fox last night that democrats should not dismiss trump, he is bringing in new people and clinton will have to raise her game and increase turnout to win in november, if in fact she wraps up the nomination, shep. >> usually in politics if you're clearly going to be the winner, and she is, and you want your opponent to get out, and she
12:35 pm
does, you have to give something. i wonder what that would be? >> reporter: some people float the idea could he be a vice presidential pick. the clinton camp hasn't said anything at all, tipped their hand. what sanders camp is hoping that he immediately went to arizona, they think there's friendly turf there. and there's states after that that are caucus states. sanders because of appeal on the left tends to do well on hardcore progressives that show up for those caucuses. last night he was still talking optimistically about how he's in the game. watch. >> next week arizona has a very important election. we will win! we will fwwin if voter turnout high. let's make it high. thank you all very much!
12:36 pm
>> reporter: hillary clinton aides say there are two reasons they're not pushing sanders out. number one, she stayed in a long time into early summer when she lost to barack obama in 2008, but secondly eventually as you suggested she's going to want to bring in sanders supporters if she wraps it up. if she's seen as pushing him out, won't be good in the long term. >> ed henry in miami. thanks. let's get more on this, glen hall, editor for "the wall street journal." she would like him to go away without people realizing she made him go away? >> i'm sure she would, i don't think he will, but that's what she wants. >> usually there's a price for everything. >> if you're bernie sanders, you're calculating a potential stumble. the e-mail scandal hasn't gone away, more rnc lawsuits are coming along. he may be hoping there's a stumble. >> if in fact she were to stumble, he would be left to pick up the pieces. >> republican party wouldn't mind that, would they? >> that would be an interesting matchup than they're preparing
12:37 pm
for now. >> what do you see the next step on the democratic side being? >> i think hillary has to continue to show dominance in the field, right? she can't leave any openings, any doubt. and she also has to pick up swing states. she hasn't done well in swing states, missouri is in play, illinois, michigan. these are places she needs to win in a general. she has her eye on the general, she has weaknesses to overcome. >> you wonder if he won't be able to exploit if it were a matchup between donald trump and hillary clinton which it looks like it will be. you wonder how that would flush out. >> it will be a different kind of race, strengths are in different places. they're going to attack on similar themes we heard. bernie sanders has been laying down some foundations we might hear trump echo himself against hillary clinton. >> you figure they gauged this on both sides already, right? >> i figure it plays out. in the natural primary process, they'll be attacking the leaders. that sets up a difficult general election. that's where we're seeing it play out. >> she seemed to pivot to trump.
12:38 pm
trump seemed to pivot to her in some degree last night. is that what we should expect? >> they have to set up the posture. shows them taking leadership and focusing on the opponent, trying to rise above the rest in their own field. >> what do you make of the effort of conservatives trying to come up with a third party candidate. >> i can't see it. i think that time passed. we have seen a couple of efforts to get there. only thing happens if a third party candidate comes in is no republican gets the white house. >> the other option is to figure out a way at the convention to get someone other than trump. then you lose a lot of trumpies, right? >> that's what they count on in kasich and cruz camp, they want to keep him from getting the magic 1237 delegates and have it contested. trump played it interesting. he made a point that if it becomes a contested convention, even if i am behind by a few
12:39 pm
hundred, and i don't get the nomination, there will be riots he says, and i think he is putting a warning flag out there. >> is that inciting? >> i don't think it is inciting, but an interesting commentary. >> okay. nice to see you, glenn. washington, d.c. metro system just shut down today, completely shut down for the entire day, effecting more than a million people. transit officials say they're doing emergency inspections of power cables. the unprecedented closure came after a few electrical fires on the track, one monday that caused big delays. metro is the second busiest system in the country after new york city. traffic bumper-to-bumper in the district today. commuters say it took an hour and a half to go 18 miles. peter doocy says foggy bottom metro -- i don't believe what they say, they usually don't tell the truth. they shut down the system because of what? >> reporter: because of the
12:40 pm
potentially dangerous power cables. it sounds like the inspectors found a half dozen damaged power cables that present the kind of life safety threat they warned about at an unexpected news conference. the news of the half dozen problems they found, that repairs could be done by today. if more damage is found, repairs could take longer. that means it is possible metro won't be ready to open on time tomorrow, and that's a problem. the reason the jumper cables to power rails are of such concern, one did catch fire at a station near the white house monday and the cause seemed to be similar to a fire on a different track on a different line that killed a passenger last year. that's why officials didn't think they could wait until the weekend to make repairs to the second busiest subway system in the country. they had to shut it down for the first time ever for nonweather
12:41 pm
related reasons. they did add extra bus routes and made it free on those routes so people that had never ridden the bus didn't hold up the line and traffic with buses since they didn't know how to pay or where they were going. uber, prices are not unlimitedly high today, but we did some standing here a few minutes. people continued to go down into the metro station to see a sealed gate blocking the rail there. there's nowhere to go today in washington, d.c. underground. >> uber 3.9 on the surge. they hit you on the head with a mallet, just don't kill you. >> reporter: yeah. i took a bike to work. >> good for you, should have taken the day off like so many thousands. nice to see you. glad you didn't take the day off. police may have prevented another terror attack in the heart of paris. they arrested four people.
12:42 pm
here in the united states, the trial of a former deputy accused of killing his wife. their young daughter apparently told investigators she saw it happen. that's next. i use what's already inside me to reach my goals. so i liked when my doctor told me i may reach my blood sugar and a1c goals by activating what's within me. with once-weekly trulicity. trulicity is not insulin.
12:43 pm
