8:00 am
sandra: that's what we monday. harris: what you think about monday? the ninth on. of the week with that primary coming up. i will be here all day, all night. have a great day everybody, good to see you. greg: a fox news alert on a critical legal showdown. the supreme court hearing arguments on president obama's executive order on immigration. i had of the decision that could define the limits of executive power and the states of millions of illegal immigrants facing deportation. good morning, i'm jon scott and welcome. heather: glad to see you, hope
8:01 am
you have a great weekend. i'm heather, in for jenna lee. today's hearing centers on president obama's executive order to protect as many as 4 million illegal immigrants from deportation. 26 states are suing the federal government over this plan. they say it's simply unconstitutional and would place a massive financialburden on state governments. jon: the man who could hold the deciding vote justice on roberts, a george w. bush appointee who has come down twice on the side of obamacare. hears kristin live at the white house with an update . reporter: this is probably the most is the court since the death of the late justice scalia. the remaining justices have to decide whether or not president obama overstepped the bounds of the constitution by taking those executive actions texas and 25 other state challenging the administration are going to be arguing he abused his presidential powers and violated the constitution. >> he had the authority to change immigration law, he said i'm not the king, this is a democracy, we have a process for this and the day he came up with this executive action he said i just changed the law so his own words speak against
8:02 am
what he's done. reporter: but the white house argues president obama acted well within his powers in 2014 when he allowed millions of undocumented interim immigrants to stay in the united states. >> to all the dreamers who are out there and all those who qualify for my executive action moving forward, i want you to know that i am confident in my ability to implement this program over the next two years. reporter: the future of that program is now in the hands of the supreme court. today about 2000 protesters on both ses are at the supreme court as oral arguments get underway. the court is evenly divided between four liberal and four conservative justices, raising the possibility of a 424 split. if that happens, these programs would essentially he left in limbo until the end of obama's presidency and if that happens it would be a big blow albeit
8:03 am
probably a temporary blow-by-blow nonetheless to the president's domestic policy legacy. john and heather? jon: kristin fisher at the white house. and shannon breen is inside the supreme court. reporter: americas election headquarters and the countdown to the showdown in new york. all five presidential candidates in the delegate rich state and head of today's key primary. let's start with senator ted cruz. he met with supporters in new york city while governor kasich gets ready for a town hall in syracuse, set take place half an hour from now and donald trump to hold the diversity meeting at trump tower within the next hour. let's look at the other side of the aisle. hillary clinton and bernie sanders have get out the vote events across the state. john roberts is live here in our new york city newsroom to break it all down. it was great to see you, glad you were in new york. what's going on? >> good morning, what time of day is it?
8:04 am
donald trump continues to keep pushing along even though you could probably put his feet up and cruised to victory in new york state. he got a big rally in buffalo. the reason why he's doing this, he needs to win as many of new york state delegates, 95 wraps he hopes to get that 1237 delegate majority before the convention and the way that ted cruz is working the system, it looks like if dolls trump would lose on the first ballot he would only lose support from there. donald trump in the meantime continues to rail against the delegate selection process, calling it corrupt, its rage against him, warning the republican national committee could be in for a quote, rough july if it doesn't address the situation. you're going to have a very, very upset and angry group of people at the convention. i hope it doesn't involve violence. i hope it doesn't and i'm not suggesting that. i hope it doesn't involve violence. and i don't think it will but i will say this. it's a rigged system. it's a crooked system.
8:05 am
reporter: ted cruz meet donald trump again in wyoming taking home 14 of the delegates available there. also in georgia, even though the delegates are bound for donald trump in the first ballot, ted cruz supporters were making up a majority of the delegates they are going to the republican national convention. people who would likely vote for ted cruz. on the second ballot, ted cruz continues to call dolls from a whiner over process his website, now selling onesies and bids for your trump tantrum. cruz insisting that he is playing well within the rules set down by the party. here he is this morning. >> donald is not a complicated man to understand. he doesn't handle losing well. donald highest total will be on that first ballot and he will go steadily down because donald cannot win and we don't want to nominate someone who's a loser in november.
8:06 am
reporter: trump trying to take back the narrative with a victory in the empire state and on 26 april, five other states up for grabs, trump leading in all those. he hopes to run the table there then get the wind at his back as he heads into other states including california. heather: i will bring you coffee after the show. any time. jon: hours before voters head to the polls in new york, let's take a look at the real clear politics average of all the polls for the gop. both show donald trump with a commanding lead and had a job governor john kasich by nearly 30 points in this polling average. senator cruz is for 5.5 kasich. joining us now, brett behr. it donald trump gets above 50 percent, that's going to be monumental for him in his home state. >> good morning. yes, it is a big moment for trump in that he's playing on home court, he's home state and
8:07 am
it's also coming right after a loss in wisconsin so it would kind of buoy's campaign, especially if he takes the majority if not all of the 95 delegates in new york. that would bode well for his efforts to get to 1237, a majority needed to clinch the nomination. ted cruz and john kasich are playing for anything below 50 percent. they are playing for any delegates they can get out of new york. if they do that, it gets a little tougher for trump moving forward down the road to 1237 b1 but the 95 delegates at station in new york, they don't guarantee him 1237 total but as you point out, it could certainly launch them a lot closer to the ultimate number who needs. >> we won't know how this is all going to play out until believe it or not california on june 7. that primary will be determinative over whether donald trump makes it to the majority or not and you run the scenarios and even in an optimistic projection, some people get to about 1150, 1175.
8:08 am
we will see. he could run the table and get over the heart or he could come just short. jon: but when donald trump gets up there and talked about this being a rigged system, the party elders, the reince priebus's of the world cannot be happy with that talk. >> they are pushing back, saying they are transparent, that people knew the rules going in but listen. it's a powerful talking point for trump and he rallies people who are really against the establishment, against washington to begin with and want to kick over the table and start over. that is the candidate that donald trump is and that's why he's using that so effectively on the stock. as far as the reality of it, the organization on the ground and some of these states choose county and state conventions to the delegates, that has been the way it's been for a long
8:09 am
time. jon: we are talking a lot about the fissures on the republican side of the democrats have their own problems as pointed out in a new york times editorial. it reads, democrats are now so divided and dug in that no matter who wins the nomination it will take a considerable effort to heal and reunite them. that was all about the pitches that hillary clinton and bernie sanders are making to new york voters. there are some problems ahead on the democratic side that's exactly right and we spent a lot of time focusing on the divide in the republican party but there is a big divide in the democratic party especially with bernie sanders voters who are adamant that they don't want to vote for hillary clinton. especially young voters who are really motivated by bernie sanders. that momentum is on his side. hillary clinton is poised for a big win in new york. the caveat here is that remember michigan where bernie sanders was down more than 10 points heading into election day and pulled off a surprise so there's some suspense on the democratic side in new york but
8:10 am
you're right that there will have to be some unity at their convention to get the democrats all on the same page. both parties saying that the unifying figure in their parties will be the opposing nominee. either donald trump or ted cruz for hillary clinton on the democratic side. jon: bernie sanders has typically done well in state with open primaries where independents or unaffiliated voters can vote for him. they cannot do that in new york. it's a closed primary and the experts say that is going to hurt his chances here. >> i think that's probably accurate. he has seen some independent voters across to vote for him. he has a lot of people who are showing up at his rallies but translating that in new york into actual votes, we will have to see. it might be closer than the polls indicate but hillary clinton, her campaign seems
8:11 am
like they are confident and that she went out to california and she's exuding a little confidence about new york. jon: so the favorite son and daughter on the republican and democratic side poised to come away with new york. brett behr, thanks very much. heather: today is tax deadline day, it's three days later than it usually is but not much else has changed when it comes to taxes in decades and decades. we will tell you why and go live to capitol hill. plus johnny 's wife pleads guilty to providing a false document in australia. you should see the apology online. could she faced jail time for speaking for your keys into that country? we want to hear from you. there is a new pullout that says six percent of americans actually trust the media so we will delve into that later with our media panel but we want to hear your thoughts on this debt now. join the conversation, foxnews.com/happeningnow . just click on america's asking.

8:16 am
heather: the tax deadline is today, three days later than usual but the tax reform topic is heating up on capitol hill as it does each year but congress has not made any changes since 1986. will this year be any different from the others? pwc is live on capitol hill. reporter: we are talking about - how today is the big day, one day of the year that it is very popular for republicans and democrats to say enough with the irs. it's too complicated. either fix it or get rid of it. the chairman of the house ways and means committee says house republicans are working on a blueprint to make that dream a reality. >> speaker paul ryan is giving us the green light tax reform so our committee is leading a dialogue with the rest of the republican house members about the need for tax reform and what it will take to get there. reporter: several years ago democrats were drafting plans to reform the tax code but their efforts were derailed when the lawmaker in charge
8:17 am
needed to get attention to allegations of ethics violations. now the work from democratic leadership is that republicans are actually going to do anything on tax reform because as minority whip argues, a prime opportunity came and went recently. hoyer talking about now speaker paul ryan says quote, ryan was 11 months chairman of the house ways and means committee. he offered no bill. he's been talking about tax reform for most of the time he was here. this comes as influential outside groups say they just want there to be a vote of some sort on some kind of a bill to get lawmakers on the record about their support for their disapproval of the irs. reporter: there are people in this town who are perfectly happy with the tax code but nobody's ever forced them to say that. nobody's ever forced them to make that vote because those
8:18 am
who want to have dramatic reform are also divided into perhaps flat tax errors, sales taxes, fair taxes. other various approaches. reporter: to that end, some hill watchers say the reason nothing ever changes, the reason tax reform never gets reformed is because if the irs goes away the lawmakers would lose an agency that it is very easy for them to be up on this time every single year. heather? heather: do you buy that one? peter qc at the capital, thanks so much. >> the battle lines are drawn over a controversial bill that could hold the saudi's accountable for 9/11. the saudi government threatens swift retaliation if it passes. now the presidential candidates are taking sides. that's next. constipated?

8:21 am
heather: a fox news alert, the united states announcing plans to send hundreds more troops to
8:22 am
iraq as well as a apache helicopter to help recapture the city of mosul from isis. this comes as ash carter makes a surprise visit to baghdad today. retired four-star general, chairman of the institute for the study of war and a fox news military analyst, good morning general keane. i want to ask you about the significance of this. 200 heading over there. >> it's another incremental change. i think this is about the fifth or sixth one in terms of a troop plus up when you get into the details of some of it, it truly will help. anything to do with apache helicopters, we had some there and there's going to be more support for them. that's a good thing because they are vital in the retaking of mosul and certainly helpful with rough body. heather: one second, i want to quaff clarify. we understand there would be
8:23 am
200 special forcestroops, of course you served in the army yourself. i'm wondering if that means 200 special forces, that's it for a whole bunch of support staff coming along as well . >> i was trying to answer. heather: pardon me, go right ahead. >> in addition to support for the apaches there's going to be special operations folks on the ground and frankly, and this is a different move because they're going to be at the brigade and possibly at the battalion level, something we've been arguing for for some time because that's going to help those troops perform better and it's also going to assist with the use of air power being more effective in support of ground troops and what general dunford has been doing frankly, he's been more aggressive and i think what he's done successfully is even the constraints that the obama administration has imposed on the military in the pentagon: he has tried to widen those parameters as much as he possibly can so it is a step in the right direction.
8:24 am
heather: so far our role has been advise and consent, does it continue to be that were are we caught in combat now? we've always been in some form of combat. we had our special operations forces that are a direct action force and they been conducting direct action missions in iraq and also in syria. most of these forces will be obviously assisting the iraqis but apachehelicopter pilots will definitely be in combat and they have been in combat . heather: i wonder if we should stop changing the name and stop calling it advise and consent. some news about this bipartisan bill that's working its way through congress that could potentially hold saudi arabia liable for the 9/11 terrorist attacks. the saudi's have responded with the billions of dollars in us assets if this happens. the president proposes the bill. hillary clinton weighing on this the first time yesterday. i want to hear what she had to say and get your reaction. >> i haven't studied it. like some people, i actually do try to learn what's at the core of any question before i offer an opinion because it's not enough to say what's wrong. i think you've got responsibility to say how
8:25 am
you're going to fix it . heather: after that interview or spokesperson tweeted out a clarification saying she supports allowing victims to sue the nation of saudi arabia. a little back story here, the presidentwould have to declassify 28 pages of the 9/11 commission report for any of this to happen. a lot of this as, who are we beholden to as a nation? are we beholden to the victims of 9/11 or to saudi arabia. >> i think that's a false choice frankly . heather: wife that? >> the 9/11 victims deserve all the reach out, all the information they can possibly get and if there's something in the 28 pages we don't know, let's get it out there in front of the american people and find out what the facts are. therefore we can stop the whispers about the saudi government involvement and we can deal with facts. stop the rumors, stop the innuendo. in dealing with this legislation itself , when a government does harm to the
8:26 am
american people, the appropriate redress for that harm is the united states government. not individual american citizens using legislation or in this case using a court system to do it. president bush attacked and deposed the taliban government because they provided sanctuary to the al qaeda who attacked us.if we have an issue with the saudi government in some complicity involvement in 9/11, the appropriate place for that is the united states government.if we are suggesting that the united states government has known since 9/11 that saudi arabia somehow was involved in supporting the 9/11 attacks, then we have a scandal that dwarfs watergate. this would be president bush, the cia, the fbi, other agencies of government all
8:27 am
conspiring to cover up a scandal of that proportion where another government was involved in the 9/11 attacks. heather: president obama has said there could be retaliation overseas if we were to release this information. what do you think would happen, what could that look like? >> there is no country more involved in the world and the united states. we are a global power, there's 193 countries in the un. we're involved in all those countries in some form or another. if we had this legislation, it invites reciprocation from foreign governments to do the very same thing to us and our foreign officials . heather: like what ? >> we would be vulnerable to similar suits in those countries and sovereign immunity, i believe is a good thing. the way you redress harm done by other governments is the united states government and if we don't like the way our government is doing it that's why we have the democracy. we elect another one. heather: thanks so much for your expertise and weighing in on both of these issues.
8:28 am
>> good talking to you heather. jon: the new survey finds most americans do not trust the news media. what's behind the lack of confidence? our media panel will debate that plus torrential rain causing massive flooding in texas and more dangerous weather is on the way. the latest or cast to get your week off area are you okay sir? >> i'm okay. watch your step stir area did you not think the water was that deep?
8:29 am
8:30 am
8:31 am
i've just arrived in atlanta and i can't wait to start telling people how switching to geico could save them hundreds of dollars on car insurance. but first, my luggage. ahh, there it is. uh, excuse me, sir? i think you've got the wrong bag. sorry, they all look alike, you know? no worries. well, car's here, i can't save people money chatting at the baggage claim all day. geico®. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. jon: hardly anyone trust the
8:32 am
media anymore, according to a new study. the associated press and orc center for public affairs research and the american press institute finds just six percent of americans say they have confidence in the news media. that's slightly higher than the level of trust they have in congress. let's bring in our media panel. alan coles is the host of the alan combs show syndicated by fox news radio.tammy bruce is a radio talkshow host and a fox news contributor. you actually see a silver lining in this report, why? >> look, it tells you that the american people in particular with access to the internet are able to make their own decisions, are able to see who's telling them the truth and who isn't. where before you could just have walter cronkite and the new york times and you had to
8:33 am
trust them so we did but now you have access to more information, you can make a determination as legitimate, who isn't, who's giving you the facts, who's being clear and that is helpful. it is finally a town hall if you will. i think people in media are thinking that well, the american people need help in understanding what the news is. we don't and i think this is also important to the american people that we have all kinds of access to information. we can make our own decisions and we've learned. i think that six percent is lower than the north korean approval rating. i think that's a message though also to the media that they have to adapt to new media. they have to adapt to how quickly news moves and i think the countries better for it. jon: the country also says the news media needs to get the story straight. >> when somebody present to a story on facebook or somebody
8:34 am
retreat something, is that the media question mark we talk about social media, the network media, the newspapers which are almost extinct? the media has such a broad meeting that when you talk about social media if you are including facebook and snapchat and instagram, what is the truth? you have to be more responsible as a citizen to decide what's opinion, what's to fact? separate the wheat from the chaff and that some incumbent on us to decide what's true or not. jon: what about political candidates when they start beating up on us as donald trump does in just about every speech. i want to play samples of you here and get the response afterwards. >> even the pundits and these are the most dishonest people thereare on earth, okay? the press , the press is terrible. terrible. among the most dishonest people you will ever deal with anywhere in life. >> all the young people coming out of school with student loans up to youreyeballs. and you are scared. and i'm going to geta job . what is the future ?and you
8:35 am
know, the media, they tried to tell us this is the new normal. this is as good as it gets. well, that is an absolute and utter lie. jon: what do you mean, the media? who in the media is saying as good as it gets? as far as trump, the media made him. to knock the media is just disingenuous. jon: but there was a nuance between those soundbites. ted cruz was talking about one particular issue, the potential lack of jobs out there for young people. >> they are reflecting what we already sold with that poll. you have 46 percent of americans who already know, consider the rolling stone. great story. the behavior of some of the legacy media anchors during
8:36 am
especially the presidential season. george stephanopoulos interviewing his boss hillary clinton. you've got americans seeing these things and when we talk about media, alan knows so well it's legacy newspapers, it's a broadcast media. it's a dynamic that americans have watched now for 50 years and we finally realized how biased, how inaccurate they are. when we talk about social media it is about individuals looking at stories from very different outlets, sharingthem, having conversations on blogs, listening to talk radio. there's legacy media and there's new media. one element involves people. the general citizen. the other element has maybe a dozen men and women who are deciding what the news is and telling you what's news . >> saying the media is terrible is weird terms. this is lazy thinking. the media is terrible, it's all horrible. again, what is the media? >> i will give you an example.
8:37 am
>> opinion versus fact. the media is too broad a term to categorize is one thing. jon: i was surprised at how much attention the rolling stone article got in the context of this particular article at and peoples mistrust of the media. rolling stone is not broadly read by all of the population but that one story, the allegations of the media. [overlapping conversation] alan, it really affected people's view of the overall news media. sometimes you're going to get it wrong. sometimes you are going to make a mistake and it's going to happen in a free society where we have the first amendment and mistakes are going to be made. >> the review was that it was a fabulous story. it was made up. nothing was not wrong. it was false. speaking of fabulous, we've seen that at the new york times, the atlantic i believe where reporters make things up out of. now with the internet, americans can look at something. there's immediate reconciling. >> but that's what the new york
8:38 am
times does, there's been a couple of incidents where they brought it out. >> where they get caught and the difference is now instead of hoping the newspaper might run your letter to the editor, there's immediate reconciling of the truth and questions about what's going on. that's why new media helped bring this forward because you don't have to wait for the next day or the next week and hope time magazine will read your letter and print it. we can now speak openly with each other and even whether it's a candidate for about an issue.jon: her point is that all the other social media outlets, other venues are helping keep things safe. >> i agree with that. i'm going to check my twitter feed right now and see what's going on but that's true. you are writing, we are all watchdogs for each other. the social media keeps an eye on what we do call the legacy media and the legacy media rights and looks at social media. we're all looking at each other.
8:39 am
jon: but it's so easy to put falsehoods out there on social media. >> that's a big problem because when you say media and only six percent say the media is doing a good job, you are also referring to all the false posts that go out on social media. there's no border to entry. anyone can put up anything and that becomes media . >> but twitter is not saying it's filled with reporters and it's the new york times and we are reporting you with facts. we know what the different standard is and i think people understand that.jon: we have to wrap it up there. tammy bruce, alan calls, thank you both. heather: and extreme weather alert to bring you. heavy rain around houston texas is causing extremely dangerous flooding in the area. take a look at this. several people had to be rescued from high waters and look at this man right here. my goodness. 16 inches of rain falling in 24 hours in the region leaving cars and trucks stranded in several feet of flooding. so far no injuries, reports of
8:40 am
injuries, at least not yet. let's head over to our meteorologist which is live in the fox extreme weather center. maria, is the force behind folks in that area? >> unfortunately it's associated with this large area of low pressure that's not moving much. it's a system pulling in some of this moisture and bringing heavy rain, not only across eastern parts of texas but also heavy rain across parts of the central and northern plains. on the backside that system six feet of snow across parts of the colorado foothills so this system is potent, slow mover and we are expecting rain to continue across portions of texas over the next few days and you can see in the past 24 hours a very slow moving thunderstorm that's produced 8 to 16 inches of rainfall across parts of southeastern texas, reducing that threaten flooding around the houston area. we do have a number of flash flood warnings in effect ohere. the national weather service calling this this morning a flash flood emergency out here
8:41 am
because of how high the water was across many of these areas and we do have a broad watch that extends across places like corpus christi and further north into dallas, extending northeast at southwestern parts of arkansas so we have a widespread region looking at the threat for additional flash flooding and our future radar shows that we will continue to deal with this moisture, get a couple of breaks between areas of rain but showers and storms will continue to be in the forecast across the center of the nation. how much additional rainfall are we looking at? take a look at southeastern texas. as much as four, six, eight or more inches of rain coming up over the next few days so a significant threat here across parts of texas and if that wasn't enough, the flood threat is very dangerous. we are also looking at the risk of severe weather, damaging winds, large hail and isolated tornadoes possible throughout the night across southern parts of texas and extending across areas of texas across the gulf coast.
8:42 am
heather: maria, thank you. jon: an urgent manhunt for two brothers who police same way have murdered a missing couple. these guys should be considered armed and extremely dangerous. did you notice anything different about donald trump? what has changed and will it continue?>> p?p?h

8:45 am
jon: a news alert on what is probably the big story of the day, oral arguments just wrapping up at the supreme court where the eight justices heard from both sides of the fight over president obama's executive orders on immigration. shannon breen was in the courtroom, listened to all of it. she joins us live with breaking details and that this is a longer than usual argument. reporter: it is john. normally we get 60 minutes but today the justices felt there were so many critical issues at stake and sony parties involved
8:46 am
they extended it to 90 minutes. i literally just walked out and there are thousands of people as far as the eye can see blanketing first street here between the supreme court and across the street from us. the us capital, you can probably hear a lot of them. it is one of the most well attended and protested cases i've seen in years out here . at stake are these two programs the president announced in 2014 that essentially lock the deportation of 4 million people frequently. today the court had to consider whether there is a constitutional issue there, whether the president has overstepped the bounds of the executive branch. critics argue he didn't end run around congress. he said congress did not so we did, we had to but congress says we have those powers, you don't get to take them simply because we didn't take the actions you wanted us to. a lot of back and forth, a lot of heat.
8:47 am
justice anthony kennedy who is a critical swing vote that people watch in every case but were really watching closely today. he talked about the fact that in his view what is happening here is that the legislative and executive branches look like they are possibly swapping roles. he says it's turn things upside down. seemingly indicating at least i don't know whether he was playing devils advocate but he thinks there is something out of whack here that the executive branch exceeded its constitutional batteries but a number of the justices and especially justice kagan has spent a great deal of time pushing the attorneys for the state of texas, felt very much that there are millions of people here , congress has not allocated the money it would take to screen and deport them so the administration, the federal grants, the executive branchhas to put together these deportation priorities. you can hear the crowd . it's a bit dicey today but this is the first amendment in action out here and we will have to wait to see what happens with the case.
8:48 am
if it's a type we revert to the lower court decision which were now has put the president program on hold. john? jon: you are doing a great job shannon. i know it's tough when there is that much noise out there. let me ask you this. the president said many times he did not have the constitutional authority to do this, then he did it and said i've got be authority. does that enter the arguments anywhere? reporter: those who support the president has said there is nuance there, that he can simply abruptly write in law but with the administrations arguing here is that what he has done is simply use discretion to prioritize those who should or shouldn't be targeted for removal for deportation. the administrative branch, excuse me the executive branch has argued he has had that discretion. he's not doing anything new. so there's definite nuance to it and the state of texas and the 25 other states that joint texas pressed back hard on that today and said this is amounting to a policy change. that not only is a forbearance allowing people to stay here and not set that up for primary priority for removal but the fact that it also permits a way for them to work here and it benefits the states say they
