thanks for joining me. i'm bob massi. what if you could build the ideal community with every detail designed to enhance the lives of those who live and work there? it's a bold experiment playing out here in a place called lake nona in orlando, florida. ♪ >> lake nona is an 11-square-mile city built from scratch. >> 11 square miles of an integrated, highly collaborative community that's anchored by these clusters of excellence in science, sports, and education with an underpinning and a foundation of technology running through it. and we've designed it from the ground up. >> that means homes, schools, universities, commercial... >> hotels, restaurants, hospitals, sports facilities, shopping centers... >> all built to complement each other with the goal of creating the perfect city of the future. >> most great cities or clusters

take decades to come up. they grow organically. it's over 20, 30, 40 years in a helter-skelter fashion. we had the opportunity here to design everything from the ground up. >> technically, lake nona is part of the city of orlando. but not very long ago, there was only the lake nona country club and empty fields. >> lake nona is one of our jewels. eight years ago, lake nona was a cow pasture. and now, it is fairly unique within the entire country. >> behind me here is what it looked like when we started. it was a large cattle ranch. and this area was primarily used for grazing. ♪ >> then billionaire joe lewis, founder of the global investment company tavistock, bought the golf course and saw those empty fields as an opportunity to do something special. >> joe lewis and i asked ourselves, "where else in the country can you find a few thousand acres of land

next to one of the world's greatest airports that is in a city that's known throughout the world for being family-friendly, is in a tax haven, is in a great climate?" and that's when it hit us. you can't find land like that. >> so lewis and tavistock started buying up the land, 8,000 acres in all. >> he made a challenge. and he said, "please, let's do somethin' special. don't give me more of the same." we don't want the typical, old suburbia. we took that challenge. it inspired us. we think we can make a difference in people's lives here. >> we really have had the luxury and the opportunity to plan everything, to think about where the retail goes, where the office goes, where our medical city is, and where the residential is. with that, you know, comes a great opportunity and also a great responsibility to take things to the next level and kind of push of what we can do here. >> but where do you even begin? they were faced with the chicken or the egg dilemma. >> it's always the conundrum that developers face is,

what comes first, the jobs or the homes? we felt that if we concentrated on the jobs, that everything else would take care of itself. >> so they teamed up with anchor institutions, major universities and hospitals, who agreed to build here in lake nona. >> to have jobs factories, you have to have amazing anchors or partners here, like the university of central florida, the sanford burnham research institute, nemours children's hospital. >> well, it worked. already, lake nona has created more than 5,000 permanent jobs with another 20,000 expected over the next 15 years. that is not counting the jobs created by the $3 billion-worth of construction that has already taken place. and more is coming. behind me, the federal government is almost done building the largest, most state-of-the-art va hospital in the country. >> it's 1,200,000 square feet and has their national simulation center. >> it's one of the biggest jobs engines in the state of florida.

lake nona is the fastest-selling community in central florida. we're adding 1,000 new families to lake nona every 2 years. >> the community development model typically is build houses and then some retail comes in and then the jobs come in. we've been fortunate to be able to deliver on all of those things. >> so communities need to be built all at once. lake nona has six so far. but building communities does not just mean building homes. >> gone are the days where you live in a house in an isolated sort of place. it's really important that we have the nearby schools and we have the grocery store right down the street and we're close to your job. >> we have 7,000 students going to school here, right on our grounds at lake nona, from early-childhood-development centers and through to a graduate education where you can graduate from here with your m.d. or phd and never leave lake nona. >> because of the proximity of the medical city and the ymca and the schools within the neighborhood,

i can ride a bike to work, ride home, and pick up the kids by 6:00 at the after-school program. ♪ >> we've taken the best of what we've seen throughout the country and really the world, brought all different parts and pieces over here. >> to my left, we have the adult pool section of our aquatic center. across the street here, under construction, we have a new restaurant and a market that we're building. we're working right now on a million-square-foot, regional mall, the first phase of which is two hotels and an office building and a bunch of restaurants. we have a wide range of housing types, town homes all the way up to very large, custom-built homes. we have a 290-unit apartment complex that's under construction right down the road. this community is built around neighborhood parks and schools and jobs and all of these things. so we're also building a community that is better. >> when we come back, we'll take

a look at lake nona's groundbreaking medical city. [ woman vocalizing ] i take prilosec otc each morning for my frequent heartburn

because you can't beat zero heartburn! ahhh the sweet taste of victory! prilosec otc. one pill each morning. 24 hours. zero heartburn.

♪ >> welcome back. i'm bob massi, the property man. i'm standing in lake nona, an 11-square-mile city built from scratch within the borders of orlando. lake nona is being built by the private investment company tavistock and is already grabbing nationwide attention for its medical city. >> there are five major components. ucf has a medical school and a life-sciences college there. the university of florida has a research institute. sanford burnham has a research institute. nemours built a children's hospital. and then the crowning piece is a brand-new, state-of-the-art va hospital. >> they found that the secret to making a great city is clusters. it's the collaboration within the cluster that makes it all work. >> i don't think the eureka moment really happens while

that scientist is in the lab, poring over his test tube. i think what happens is, the eureka moments occur when they're out here socializing at lunches and dinners, getting together. and the geneticist is with the physicist, who's with the scientist, who's with the surgeon. >> many of us are working in the local businesses or the medical life-science community and industry. so i've made deals and collaborations on the soccer fields. [ chuckles ] >> we felt that collaboration was going to be the turbo mechanism for us. the nemours children's hospital, they're able to recruit better doctors, same with the va medical center. because this doctor, if he wants to, can teach at the medical school right across the street, can do cutting-edge research, as well, in the next building across the street. the scientists, they're able to teach. they're able to practice. it's resulted in one of the most richest technology foundations that we could have. we have one gigabit bandwidth that we deliver to the homes

and businesses here. it's basically over 200 times the average speed of a u.s. internet connection. >> we started from scratch and put in all of the conduit and the fiber and all those things. >> that means everybody's internet in lake nona is not just the fastest in the country, but in the entire world. >> you can do amazing things with that. scientists need it. doctors need it when they're getting x-rays across their screens and the type of quality that they need. and the homeowners just absolutely love it. 20% to 30% of our residents work out of their home. and they're able to do so because we give them the right technology to be able to access what they need to. >> two critical quality-of-life components are integrated into every aspect of lake nona -- health and wellness and technology. >> the lake nona community is really a purpose-built place. >> so many people talk about health and wellness today.

but how many people really do it justice? >> how do we nudge activity? we all know that exercise is important. we need to move more. how do we design activity where it doesn't feel like somebody's forcing it upon us? we have 44 miles of trails throughout this community. if you look at urban settings now, a lot of them are having to go back and retrofit with sidewalks and bicycle paths. and all of that is master-planned into the community. >> i ride my bike to work at least once a week. and i've noticed a lot more people. because there are bike lanes, there's sidewalks and trails, a lot more accessibility to running, walking, biking. >> we've retained about 40% in preserves and park space throughout our 8,000 acres. >> there's public parks that are close proximity to everybody's home. >> every morning, there's a switch that goes off, and everyone comes out of their homes, and parents are walking kids to school, kids are walking to school. they're on bikes and scooters,

and other small kids in tow. so it's very vibrant. >> as you walk through the front doors of most of our businesses, you'll see the stairs immediately, and you'll have to search for the elevators. and so the percentage of people that are actually utilizing the stairs is clearly increasing. >> the lake nona life project is a voluntary study that will give researchers ways to keep improving the quality of life. >> it's a multi-generational, multi-decade research project. >> it's sponsored by johnson & johnson, studying how health behaviors can be impacted and how behavior change can take place. >> the insights that come from a project like this can be transformational in terms of the future for medicine and health and wellness. >> and the corporations and the universities that are part of the medical city, well, they enable them to keep finding ways to improve how people live. >> we're excited about a new home that we're building called the intelligent home. the intelligent home of the future is gonna be a lot about sensors

and other things, too, as we continue to drive, you know, new technologies integrated in the house. g.e. is helping us with our new kitchen of the future. and how are we using digital devices and other things to help us with menu preparation and inventory of your foodstuff in your pantry and all those kind of things. >> we've worked very hard to find partners and anchors that think alike, that have the same dream that we have to create the ideal place that inspires human potential through innovative collaboration. we really bound out of bed every day. we think we can make a difference in people's lives here. >> coming up next on the property man, i'll go meet a woman who thought her only options were to let her beautiful property go into foreclosure or do a short sell. but then, she heard of a program that just might save her property.

>> mm-hmm. >> the closest grocery store was around 25 minutes away. >> suzanne purchased the home for $340,000. she took a home-equity line of credit for $150,000 to improve the property. >> i was able to purchase the home. and it was at a good rate, good value. i put the 20% down. then i took a home-equity line of credit out and was able to clear the property, built the 4,500-square-foot barn, fenced the property, put just a lot of investments into the property. >> unfortunately, suzanne went through divorce, which resulted in both of them moving out. they tried to sell the property, but then, well, the economy collapsed. almost overnight, the value dropped, and she found herself underwater. suddenly, she had very few options other than to try to short-sell the property for $236,000, almost half of what was owed. and she really had no interest in doing that or letting it go to foreclosure. with no decent offers, well,

she decided to rent it out even though the monthly rent was less than a mortgage payment. so you ended up going into your savings, your other sources of money, in order to make the payment. >> correct. i was just paying out of pocket every month. >> she then heard of the program called h.a.r.p., the home affordable refinance program. h.a.r.p. was set up by the federal housing finance agency in march of 2009 to help underwater and near-underwater homeowners to be able to refinance their mortgages. >> i met timothy lucero. he's a friend of mine. >> mm-hmm. >> he is an attorney. and he informed me about the h.a.r.p. loan. >> is that the first time you heard about the h.a.r.p. loan? >> absolutely. my banks did not advertise this loan at all. >> after being unable to refinance through traditional routes, well, she was able to get a h.a.r.p. loan of $401,000. >> the great thing about it was the home wouldn't appraise for what i owed on it. and i wouldn't -- i didn't have to worry about a reappraisal. i didn't have to worry about another credit check or anything like that. they just took the loan and pretty much refinanced it

without any reappraisals. >> people get the h.a.r.p. program mixed up with loan modifications, but they're very different. for example, in a loan modification, you had to show a hardship. you had to be behind in your payments, which upset many people. with h.a.r.p. -- unnecessary. no appraisal necessary. you submit the paperwork, and if you qualify, you get approved for the h.a.r.p. program just like suzanne did. the h.a.r.p. process allowed suzanne to reduce her mortgage payment about $700 a month. the h.a.r.p. refinance cost about $7,250 with a 4.8 interest rate, substantially less. so now, when you rent the house, are you in the good? are you in the black now? >> it is pretty much almost break-even. >> yeah. >> we get a little bit more than the mortgage payment. but it does not cover the taxes or insurances. >> so, let's go through some of the h.a.r.p. bullet points to qualify. first of all, the loan had to be before may 31, 2009. the homeowner had to be current on the loan, not more than 30 days late in the last 6 months.

and here's what you need. it could've been a primary home, a second home, or one- to four-unit investment property. obviously, it had to be a fannie or freddie loan. and the loan to value had to be greater than 80%. the h.a.r.p. program still has legs, but if you talk to most lenders today, it's not really that effective. it did help a certain percentage of people like yourself and others. but a lot of people it didn't. but i will say this to you. some of the people, the reason it didn't work, was because they were fed up with what they went through with lenders and they were so emotionally, just, broken. so what's your message to those who are watching the show here? >> people are so quick to take the fast act and short-sell or foreclose. and they need to research and evaluate the situation. >> here's what's important to understand. you have to do your own due diligence as a homeowner. you have to ask the proper questions of the proper professionals

to find out what programs are out there to be able to try to save your home. they're still there. be very aggressive in finding out what is still available to save your home. >> i think people need to take responsibility and not act fast. >> the one thing that i try to tell people all the time is they got to ask. go to professionals, ask. go to lenders, ask what programs are out there. find competent brokers, real-estate brokers. find out what's going with the property. and also, really try to understand the different kind of loans. congratulations on your decision. you did good. >> thank you. >> up next, the massi memo with information on refinancing that you can't afford to miss, so stick around.

♪ >> time now for the massi memo. earlier, we met suzanne, who was able to successfully refinance by the h.a.r.p. program. now, in 2009, the obama administration launched "h.a.r.p." as part of the making home affordable program. what it does, it provides the ability to refinance for people who may not otherwise qualify because of declining home values or reduced access to mortgage insurance. they could get a lower interest rate or what they call a more stable mortgage product. they've existed the program through the end of 2016, which is a good thing. but it's not always easy. you have to be current on your mortgage,

no more than 30 days late in the last 6 months and no more than once in 12 months. this is good to know. not only does it cover primary residence, but second homes and one- to four-unit investment properties -- important for you investors out there. it must be a freddie mac or a fannie mae loan. the loan also has to have been originated prior to may 31, 2009. loan to value -- greater than 80%. this is not, by the way, a loan modification. it is a refinance of your present mortgage payment. and usually, appraisals are not necessary. there are definitely not as many h.a.r.p. refinances being accepted anymore, but if you meet the criteria, please look into it. that's it for today. as always, there's more info on our website at foxnews.com/propertyman. and be sure to send me your questions

after weeks of campaigning in new york, we are days away from the empire state primary. donald trump has been pounding ted cruz and john kasich in his home state hoping to get 50% of the republican vote and win all 95 delegates up for grabs. a new cnr college poll shows trump with a 23-point lead in new york. here with a preview of the april 19 primary and beyond, wall street columnist and deputy editor dan henninger, james freeman, and mary kissle. dan, to you first. this new york republican primary is all about delegates, isn't it? >> mainly about delegates. and some status as well, stuart. but if there is one number for people to watch tuesday night, it is 50, because if donald trump goes over 50 in the state, then he gets the state delegates. but in each of the congressional districts, if you go over 50% you get all three of the delegates. okay? that's how he would sweep to 95%. if he is under 40%, either in

the state wide or in any of these districts, then ted cruz and john kasich will be picking up individual delegates in districts around the state. that's what ted cruz is in this state to do, simply to accumulate delegates and deprive trump of any delegates as well. third thing is, second place. if ted cruz comes in third -- or john kasich comes in third, they're not going to have bragging rights going into next week's primaries in pennsylvania, delaware, connecticut and maryland. >> so momentum and stature has got a lot to do with this. >> you do not want to come in third in the new york primary. >> no, you don't. that's for sure. you want kasich to drop out, don't you. >> yeah. i think even a kind of unimpressive second over cruz is not really a victory for him. these are supposed to be -- this week and next week are supposed to be john kasich's moment. this is why he stayed in the race even though he's much

further behind cruz than cruz is behind trump. the reason he stayed in, new york this week, then maryland and pennsylvania, and if you look at these polls, kasich has got a slight lead on cruz, or even in some places behind. i think there is really no premise to the kasich candidacy if he is not winning big over cruz in these states kind of built for him. >> mary, cruz is not doing well in the new york primary polling thus far. >> but cruz is being strategy as he's been throughout this campaign. he's got a very professional -- >> you don't want to be third. >> -- campaign staff. no, thas true, you don't want to be third. for example, cruz has come in these targeted democratic districts in manhattan where it is very small numbers of republicans. these are areas in the bronx, areas in brooklyn, some areas outside of alba i where he has a good chance of getting perhaps over 50% and picking up some delegates. >> just to be clear, first place is not necessarily a victory for donald trump.

this is his home turf. cruz won big in texas. even kasich was able to win his home state, take although delegates in ohio. i think anything less a sweep for trump is not a victory. >> he's unlikely to get a sweep of all 95 delegates because you'd have to get 50% in every single congressional district to sweep the lot. but the poll shows him at the moment winning by 30 points, some polls showing that far ahead, that is a convincing win for him, isn't it? >> well, it's all about going to cleveland and how many delegates you have. there is a point beyond which if donald trump has over 1,000 delegates, or if he gets up around 1,100, the argument that his camp is going to make is you cannot deny mr. trump the nomination if he gets that close in cleveland. >> that's just not how the rules work, dan. he makes that argument but the rules have been set for a long time and winning a plurality is simply not enough. just a brief comment about john

kasich. he hasn't won a delegate since what? march 15th? it's one thing to say, well, i'm going to beat hillary clinton in a theoretical general election poll many months down the road. but one of these days people are going to ask, then why did voters vote for you? show us the numbers. >> i got to ask this -- do you think that donald trump has entered a new phase of his campaign? i noticed that the other night he was reading from notes. it wasn't all extraneous off the cuff remarks. there were no off the cuff insults. he's trying to calm it down a little bit. he's got a new campaign staff. i think he wants to look more presidential. i know you don't think much to him but would you go along with that? >> that's certainly the strategy and he's certainly talking about doing more prepared speeches and his campaign is talking about that. whether he has the discipline to stick to it is a big question. so far he hasn't done that. but i think also the problem with that strategy, it is coming very late in the game. not just in the campaign but

he's a guy over the years who has defined himself very sharply, very comprehensively. everyone in america basically has an opinion on him now. most don't like him. so i don't think prepared texts are going to turn around most of those people. that's the problem. >> you are laughing. >> well, there's also a lot of turmoil within the trump campaign. he's brought in some long-time washington insiders. >> he's brought professionals in. >> well, lot of reports though of problems there. it reminds me of hillary clinton, the firing of mark penn back in 2008. so he's brought in pros. but will they right the ship? i think it is very late. >> he's connected to people by doing what he is doing. he's said that. this is why people like me. the thing is if he pivots to this more formalized candidacy, is he going to start losing some of those people. >> that's the whole point, isn't it. he is an entertainer, brilliant on television. if he adopts a different format, is he still brilliant on

television? the jury is out. when we come back, look what we have for you -- bernie sanders gaining ground in new york. but even if he does well in the empire state, how will that affect his national campaign? another day, and i'm still struggling with my diabetes. i do my best to manage. but it's hard to keep up with it. your body and your diabetes change over time. your treatment plan may too. know your options. once-daily toujeo® is a long-acting insulin from the makers of lantus®. it releases slowly to provide consistent insulin levels for a full 24 hours. toujeo® also provides proven full 24-hour blood sugar control and significant a1c reduction. toujeo® is a long-acting, man-made insulin used to control high blood sugar in adults with diabetes. it contains 3 times as much insulin in 1 milliliter as standard insulin. don't use toujeo® to treat diabetic ketoacidosis, during episodes of low blood sugar, or if you're allergic to insulin.

this week hillary clinton and bernie sanders faced off one more time debating in brooklyn. both democrat candidates are touting themselves as true new yorkers, and it looks like it is working for sanders who is catching up to clinton in the polls. just day before they scramble for votes in new york city and new york state. according to a siena roll, sanders is only ten points behind the former senator of new york. here again, dan, james and mary. mary, i have to start with this. i find it incredible as a newly minted american citizen that i should come to this country and six months before the election,

a socialist is in a commanding position in the election. >> but stuart, are you really surprised? >> yes! >> this is where the beating heart of today's modern democratic party is. it is exactly where barack obama has dragged the left, to the far, far left. he spent seven years denigrating business, denigrating ceos, dividing americans by class and by race. so is it any surprise? also given the lousy economy that he's gifted us, the desperation for many americans who really need to have income growth or even, for goodness sakes, a job that they would look to a change. that's what bernie is selling. >> first off, stuart -- i think it is good news for america that you're on our team now. very glad about this. but i think also watching the spectacle this week, people should apologize to ted cruz because we saw new york values. hillary clinton, bernie sanders, testing the outer limits of left wing politics in america to wild

applause in brooklyn. this has nothing to do with the ideas that made america great. and so i think people ought to reconsider their criticisms of ted cruz. >> okay. the key phrase in james' remark was "hillary clinton." notice how easily we start combining hillary clinton, the socialist, with hillary clinton? and the fact that she has in this big mega media market of new york had to align herself so closely with the left wing socialist policies of bernie sanders, i think it is beginning to create problems for her in the general election. she thought that she would get past bernie, then pivot to the center. but that's going to become more and more difficult to her as she commits herself to these -- >> but is there not the possibility that hillary clinton could lose in new york state? bernie is catching up. he's got the fire. he's got the crowds. he's got the people. >> i would say a chance, because people don't like her. you notice in poll after poll she's ahead. who are you going to vote for.

but he's ahead on favorability. so they're looking at her and thinking, i guess i got to vote for her. but that's a very unstable electorate when you consider that actually many of them would prefer sanders. >> in the fox news poll out last week, bernie sanders beat all three republicans in head-to-head match-ups and he was ahead of the game in knowledge required for the presidency and credibility for the presidency. stop laughing. the man won! >> how can you not laugh? is. >> the man won. what is going on here? >> knowledgeability for the presidency? >> yes! he got 70%. 70% of the people said he was the most knowledgeable for the presidency. >> well, that tells you something about what's happened to the american educational system. >> that's for sure. one more issue i want to bring up. hillary says she would create the office of immigration affairs if elected president. what do you make of that? >> i make of that, that she is laying the ground for the general election.

this is the hispanic vote obviously. we are talking about not really new york but mainly florida, which would be a big pick-up in the electoral college. nevada, new mexico and arizona. those are all the states of heavily hispanic voters and she's decided the republicans are giving them to me, i'm going to take them and make it official. >> she also pivoted to the center on foreign policy last night, a strong defense of nato, a very pro-israel, supporting a no-fly zone over syria. i think she is looking ahead. >> she's capturing key groups, key constituencies, she's kind of nailing them down as she goes along. but bernie is still challenging strongly. i'll give you, james, the last word. >> well, she still has a problem with young voters. polling in new york, he's not doing well. he's coming back, but where he's really strong is under 45. he's winning by double digits in the most recent "journal" poll. she's got some pandering to do to young people. i guess free or subsidized college wasn't enough. >> i do promise to stay in the united states even if bernie

sanders is the nominee for the democrats. but if he's elected president, all bets are off. time's up. thank you you one and all. now when we come back, count him out? house speaker paul ryan shoots down talk that he's weighing a run for the republican nomination as a potentially contested convention. >> i do not want, nor will i accept, the nomination for our party. allstate. with accident forgiveness, they guarantee your rates won't go up just because of an accident. smart kid. [ voice of dennis ] indeed. are you in good hands? incredible blnow comes with protectionan incredible [ voice of dennis ] indeed. double your money back guarantee. always discreet is for bladder leaks and it's drier than poise. try it, love it or get double your money back. always discreet.

this week paul ryan shot down any remaining speculation of will he or won't he throw his hat into the republican race at a possibly contested convention this summer. the house speaker, who will preside as chair of the convention, emphatically stated he will not accept the gop nomination, even if it's offered

to him. >> does paul ryan want to be speaker? >> no, he doesn't. >> will you running for speaker? >> i'm not. >> why not? >> because i don't want to be speaker. >> i do not want, nor will i accept, the nomination for our party. >> those are apples and oranges. being speaker of the house is a far cry from being president of the united states, specifically -- because i already in the house. i'm already a congressman. so i was asked by my colleagues to take a responsibility within congress that i've already been serving in from the one that i had. that is entirely different than getting the nomination for president of the united states by your party without even running for the job. so -- >> it wasn't quite shermanesque, but it was emphatic. it isn't over until it's over. >> he gives a statement like this but in the kind of constant

world of media torque and storm that we live in 24/7, it is impossible for anyone to simply say something and be believed. this idea of becoming a candidate was becoming a distraction and a constructive distraction while the other candidates, cruz trump and kasich are battling with one another over whether it is fair and they're going to take that to the convention. he has to preside over that convention as well. having said all that, if you get to the fifth ballot and they haven't picked a nominee and his name comes up.

the interest in paul ryan says a lot about this satisfaction with the current choice of candidates. who is paul ryan? he's a happy warrior. he's a guy who's very steeped in policy. he's very willing to do bipartisan deals. will the people who voted for trump switch their allegiance to any other candidate? because you can't win the general unless you've got some of those trump voters with you. i think it is possible if his supporters perceive that he lost fair and square. i think that's what's going to happen. obviously there are going to be some hurt feelings, but i think actually probably it ends up

being cruz but let's say nobody in the race now can really close the deal with everyone so you get through these various iterations. perhaps some of these other bad things won't happen to the republican party. >> what he's putting out is a policy selection which is republicans. and which would keep the house seat and the senate seat in place for the convention.

>> he's been a consistent voice in congress for sanity and for policies that we know worked. >> just to add, ass the rul the stand now, basically, the people that's going to cleveland will be qualified under the rules of trump and cruz. >> that was the rule you got to change if you want to rank outside of coming in. >> what about this possibility? cruz hooks up with rubio's delegates or the kasich's delegates? >> what about mitch daniel or oh, i don't know wisconsin's senator. >> they're bound on the first ballot. it is around the third ballot when you will indeed see that kind of bargaining going on and

people being offered the vice president and other plums to bring them across. >> you got a minute left. how do you do this if you go to two or three or even four ballots. can you pack it in a brief convention? >> well, i will tell you what. ask paul ryan, he's the chairman of that convention as he has said to people a couple of weeks ago. he has got his hands full answering questions exactly like that. how are they going to pull it off. >> all right, everybody, not at all. >> we have to take one more break. when we come back, we got your favorites. hits and misses of the week.

the hits and miss of the week. mary, you are first. >> the winning season of the nba

history of the lakers. kudos to steph curry and his teammates. >> i am giving the miss to putin and the russians of this incredible buzzing of the u.s. destroyer. there is photograph of how closely that plane was coming to our ship was extraordinary. >> this is what it is come to and the obama administration and the next president that's going to have to put and dealing vladimir putin and pushing back at the top of his foreign policy agenda. >> dan. >> james. >> i am going to go stuart, that is hit, it is a hit for honesty to federal regulators admitted that most of the country's biggest banks are too big to fail after the financial crisis. they said would prevent this, very disappointing.

>> if you have your own hits or miss, be sure to tweet it to us at jer @fnc. that's it, paul will be back next week. hello everybody, i am uma pemmaraju, live in new york. the republican hopefuls are fighting right now for tuesday's big primary. >> do we love this? it is good to be back. >> will the home advantage give new momentum for donald trump campaign and ted cruz is hitting the ground hard in wyoming hoping his strong ground will deliver another batch of delegates. coming up, mike huckabee and enr carson is joining me live. and on the democratic side, hillary clinton, swings west
