penny for your thoughts and this is my lucky penny. another commenter says her kids have penny wars in school every year where each class competes to collect the most to win a prize. other than that, no, we don't need it. i don't know. they kind of clog up my wallet. i'm going to say no. thanks for being part of "the real story." >> announcer: now, "sheprigard smith reporting." live from the fox news deck. everything changed. we said here yesterday if hillary clinton and donald trump could just score big wins in the new york primary this t. could happen. and it did. everything changed. now clinton talking togetherness rolling like a nominee. and trump, he's not said lyin' ted since before new york voted. doesn't need to because donald trump wiped the floor with ted cruz and niz his new york values. ted cruz got nothing, not a single delegate. and donald trump almost ran the table. today in an everything changed world nobody on the republican side can win the nomination

without shenanigans. nobody. it's contested convention or bust for anybody who's not trump. he got at least 90 of new york's 95 gop delegates. and he may get more. take a look at the wall over here. this is the state of new york, with long island, strong island down here. the city down here. and that's the rest of the state. it's very green, right? green is for money. green is for ted -- green is for donald trump. he won all but one of new york's 27 congressional districts. he won all but two in yellow by more than 50%. these two he won by less than 50%. so that means kasich gets one delegate from each of those. but he gets the rest. the one district he lost, the only one, is this little one down here in orange, which we show over here. it's part of manhattan. it's where he lives. he won trump tower itself, but he lost the district it's in on the upper east side of manhattan. john kasich won that by 70 votes. donald trump has now made it mathematically impossible for ted cruz to secure the

nomination with pledged delegates alone. it's over. cruz has 559 right now. and there are just 623 pledged delegates left in the race. if you add that all up, he's still short of 1,237. senator cruz now appears to be acknowledging the math is lost for him. >> is this race going to cleveland, senator? >> we are definitely headed to cleveland. and in cleveland the people are going to prevail. >> cleveland going to prevail. at the convention. henan gansz. fox news has learned senator cruz is sitting down today with republican party members. at the rnc meeting, spring meeting in hollywood, florida. remember, they hate him. they always have. more on that in a moment. first a live look here at a donald trul p ralmp rally. kind of dark in indianapolis. we'll monitor that for any development. this all comes after the front-runner seemed to show his new political team has whipped him into shape. he gave a short subdued victory speech last night at trump tower here in manhattan.

like i said, no "lyin' ted" for the first time since trump gave him a name. >> senator cruz is just about mathematically eliminated. we have won millions of more votes than senator cruz. we've won, and now especially after tonight close to 300 delegates more than senator cruz. >> "senator cruz." a trump adviser in an interview this morning said the term "lyin' ted" may make a comeback depending on how the senator reacts moving forward. the two candidates will face off again next tuesday in republican primaries in several states including connecticut. there's a new poll from quinnipiac university that shows donald trump winning that contest by 20 points. it also shows ted cruz in third place, behind john kasich. so were this a normal election cycle, this would be over. trump versus clinton for the presidency. that's it. move on. time to go. of course, this is not a normal election cycle.

everything has certainly changed. new york did that. but the fight goes on. it's just no longer a fight to win the nomination in the usual way because that fight is over. carl cameron is live in washington. carl, it's a new day. >> reporter: well, trump's blocked cruz from 1,237. and now he's even trying to court the establishment a little bit with a trip to indiana today where he is having a meeting with governor mike pence. indiana's a red state that's going to vote two weeks from now. and cruz is really hoping to win there. trump is going to try to knock him off again. and if trump could pull off a victory in the hoosier state, that would be a huge step for momentum for him. trump's new hires are washington insiders with expertise in organizing convention tactics and election law. and he's digging in for a long and bitter fight. at the same time, his new advisers are trying to build more professional operation, really. and there's a handful of people he had until just a few weeks ago who were working with him but they were in many ways sort of newcomers. and many of them are a little

bit upset about being layered in their jobs, et cetera. but there's a handful that argue that listen, we needed more help and we needed more experience and some of it has to come from washington. >> just how are ted cruz and john kasich explaining this blowout? >> cruz went to hershey, pennsylvania today, a state that's going to vote next tuesday, and is now on the way down to the rnc in florida. as you said, he's going to have his news conference in just a little while. he's talking with the party leaders about supporting him over trump in a contested convention even though he does have some critics at the rnc for some of his performance in the budget shutdown a couple of years ago. cruz says he's going to the convention no matter what and he dissed trump today for even suggesting that he should quit. listen. >> upon winning his home state, donald, with the characteristic display of humility, declared this race is over. manhattan has spoken. and if the rest of the voters would quietly go home now and allow him to give the general election to hillary, all would

be better. >> and john kasich's already actually in florida courting those rnc members. and it's the last one before the convention. so a lot of the committees are talking about various different proposed changes to the rules, something that reince priebus says will not happen. this is the last one before that. so it's ultimately a big opportunity for kasich to make his argument to these delegates. these are the rnc members. there's 164 of them as opposed to the more than 2,400 that will be the convention delegates. and a lot of them he believes will accept his argument that when it comes to the general election, because he beats hillary more than most, he is the best candidate and the most experienced as both a governor and a former member of congress who's the only guy to ballot budget in the last half a century. >> cal camera ronn in washington. let's bring in rebecca berg, from realquickpolitics.com. thanks, rebecca. >> thanks, shep. how are you? big day. >> yeah. we spoke yesterday, saying wouldn't it be interesting if

they had a how did that whole new york values comment by ted cruz affect people's votes? we didn't get that exact question but look at what we did get. who will you not vote for no matter what, republicans sf who will you simply not vote, new york republicans? not for cruz, 41%. that's new york values right there, isn't it? kind of wrapped up with a bow on top. new york values, right? >> it is. i mean, ted cruz was never going to do well in a state like new york, shep, but his advisers hoped a few weeks ago that at least he would pick up a couple of delegates, and he couldn't even do that. it was really a rout for ted cruz. not a good night. and really that poll shows me also how divided the republican party is right now and potentially is going to be going into the general election. this is a huge problem that republicans are going to have to grapple with. how do you unite this divided party? divided not only in two directions between cruz and trump but you have a bunch of moderates supporting john kasich who could feel disenfranchised if either ted cruz or donald trump xwkz the nominee. it's going to be a really difficult puzzle to piece this

party back together come the general election and come november. >> and there's demonstrable evidence of that, again, from the exit polls last night talking about how each side feels about what this campaign has done to the electorate. on the republican side, see that, the question was has this campaign seasons divided the party or energized the party? let's see the republican numbers there. about 60% of republicans say that it has divided the party. and it is exactly the opposite, even more so, on the democratic side. 66% of democrats say that their nominating process has energized the party. how big a problem is that for republicans? >> well, it's huge. it is the problem for republicans because in a normal election, shep, you would look at hillary clinton, high unfavorables, not a very charismatic candidate, certainly not someone who has grown stronger in the process of her democratic primary as a candidate. but she's going to be up against nominees on the republican side who have left the party divided, who are not appealing to most republicans. ted cruz and donald trump are not strong when you look at their polling against hillary

clinton. and so it's a huge problem. if any republicans are staying home in november when their candidates are already at a disadvantage to hillary clinton, who is not on her own a strong candidate, then you're going to have a rout. and it's going to be a really, really bad election for republicans. >> you mentioned cruz and trump are not polling well in a head to head hypothetical against hillary clinton. you know who is polling well? john kasich. >> he is. and that's really at this stage his only argument for staying in the race. look, he says that he can go to the convention and win there based on this electability argument alone. i read a story for real clear politics looking at what his delegate operation has been like on the ground. ted cruz, as you know, has been very successful going around and making sure delegates are selected who will be favorable to him at the convention on a second, third ballot, any of these subsequent votes. john kasich's campaign i found has not been doing that. so it's not really clear how these delegates are going to come together for him at the convention. he thinks that the argument of electability, this polling that he talks about, is going to be

enough. we'll see. >> there's no doubt. that is certainly the truth. thanks so much, rebecca. as she mentioned, the republican convention in cleveland could be kind of wild. one gop leader is warning senators who are up for re-election, they might want to stay home from the convention, just don't go. then there's the house speaker paul ryan who says everybody should attend. see that divide there? it's everywhere. should they stay or should they go in that's coming up from the fox news deck on this wednesday afternoon. but there is palace intrigue in the house of the mouse. michael's leaving. kelly's all upset. kelly doesn't show up for work. turmoil at abc. what's the real story behind michael's exit from good -- over to "good morning america" from "michael and kelly"? if you watch the show, you know there's weirdness happening. and we'll bring in howie kurtz to sort it out. stay tuned. jusdoes that mean they have toer grow apart from their friends,

(team sing) ♪safelite repair, safelite replace.♪ if you could have a listening device at just one place in america right now, or be a fly on the wall in just one room, for me it would be the rnc spring meeting kicking off today in florida. springtime in florida. it's the last major gathering of gop officials and delegates ahead of what's expected to be a crazy convention in cleveland. and while that's happening, the gop senator whose job it is to get fellow republicans elected is telling some of his colleagues stay away. do not come to the convention.

and lots of republican bigwigs have already said they'll be no-shows at the convention. the mississippi senator roger wicker telling "the hill" newspaper, "cleveland is the last place republicans in tough races want to be," especially if there's going to be what he calls a brouhaha over the nominee. and senator john mccain apparently agrees. the 2008 presidential nominee says no thanks, not me. i'll be somewhere else. not at that convention. for the first time in years. house speaker paul ryan is pushing his colleagues the other way. he's like, show up. it's your party. you should be here. come to cleveland. cleveland is lovely in the middle of the summer -- oh, wait, that's not his argument. speaker ryan will be the convention chairman. so he'll have to oversee the whole thing. jeb bush says he won't be there either. let's bring in shelby holliday, video reporter for the "wall street journal." there are divisions all over this party, and now there's divisions over whether people inside the party sheen come to the party party. >> should even show up. there's a major conflict of

interest here. on one hand you have speaker paul ryan saying this is our party, you've got to be here. t take responsibility for what goes down in cleveland. on the other hand, you have these incumbent republicans who want to keep their job. and the convention to them represents sort of a double-edged sword. one edge of the sword is donald trump is the nominee, they go to the convention, they risk upsetting donors, upsetting voters, risk looking like they're supporting a candidate that maybe their constituents don't like. and the other edge of the sword is a contested convention. messy, ugly, big floor fights. they might not want to be a part of that either. some of them are hedging it. and i think it's kind of funny. they say maybe we'll be there, probably not. but it's shaping up to be -- just even to talk about the contested convention is contested. >> jeb bush says no. >> jeb bush says no. >> what about marco rubio? >> i think marco rubio might be waiting to hear what the rules are. he could possibly be on the ballot. he will definitely be there. >> so the down side is just guilt by association? >> well, it could be personal

choice. john mccain has had no shortage of criticism for some of these candidates. cruz, trump, who are likely to be on the ballot. it could be they don't want to upset donors or they don't want to upset their constituents. or it is a valid excuse that they want to be campaigning during this week because they have a seat to win. >> unless there's any more weirdness, it comes down to cruz and trump. if trump gets it on the first ballot, then he gets it. if he doesn't get it on the first ballot, then looks like it's cruz. remember lindsey graham said the difference between cruz and trum is the difference between being shot and poisoned, either way you're dead. that's up there with criticism. >> and a lot of these incumbent candidates, establishment candidates feel like, that they just don't want to be associated. >> what's happening in this meeting now? what can we know that's happening in they're trying to get everybody on one page? >> well, they're talking about the rules. i brought -- in a normal year this little packet of rules would be a snooze, would be very boring. this year these matters. every single word in the rules matter. however, this is a very

important meeting. there are important people. they're experienced. they might be part of the establishment. they are not all-powerful. they done have the power to change the rules. what they're actually doing is proposing changes. they are suggesting ideas, ways the rules might be changed. but the rules won't actually be changed until a week before the convention. and that's a convention made up of delegates. totally different group of people. there's a little overlap. >> but reince priebus seems to be saying we're not changing anything right now because the white hot lights, the spotlights are on us and we don't want to look like we're playing favorites. at least not today. >> at least not today. and keep in mind, they've been talk pg about it for months and months and months. we're not likely to see any major groundbreaking changes right now. morton blackwell is the guy who's been involved in the rules for decades. and he said because reince priebus has so much support and has a majority behind him, what he says is probably going to go, and that means no big rule changes. but there are ideas and

proposals and you never know what's happening in those side meetings. >> and there is tomorrow. the side meetings. >> side meetings. >> better place to be that fly on the wall. shelby holliday from "wall street journal." thanks. bernie sanders is set to take a step back after last night's loss according to his adviser. but his campaign manager is promising to fight all the way to the convention despite hillary clinton's enormous delegate advantage. did you hear what he did last night? did you hear what bernie sanders did last night as it was clear hillary clinton had just run away with this thing? i will tell you what he did. that's next. plus, your cash is going to change in a big way. the legendary american who will start showing up on $20 bills. now we know. stay tuned. ♪ i'm gonna pop some tags ♪ only got $20 in my pocket ♪ i'm hunting, looking for a come-up ♪ ♪ this is awesome ♪ i'm gonna pop some tags ♪ only got $20 in my pocket you shouldn't have to go far

hillary clinton says victory is in sight. said it last night. and for the first time after her big win here in new york because math. still bernie sanders' people say they'll keep fighting. the question is for how long? maybe not too long. because last night when the new york game was lost for bernie sanders, just hours after his team said we're going to win, sanders did something he has not done since the hardcore campaigning began many months ago. he left his press people and left the entire press corps following him behind and went home, solo, back to new hampshire to evaluate -- i should say vermont to evaluate things. he talked to some locals on the tarmac in burlington and went home. that's often what candidates do right before they undo. right before they suspend things. he didn't drop out. but as i reported, everything has changed. here's a look at the latest delegate count. it's on the big wall here. you can see clinton has an even bigger lead.

when you include super delegates, who can support any candidate. but she's clearly leading in pledged delegates in a big way. sanders campaign manager says if clinton is ahead in the delegate count and the popular vote after the final primary he said last night on msnbc that he will still keep trying to get those super delegates to switch sides, still try to get them to switch. somehow with something, hocus-pocus, abracadabra. instead of encouraging his supporters to unite behind hillary clinton. >> you will spend those months, those weeks in the summer trying to flip super delegates to bernie sanders before the convention? >> at this point, yes, absolutely. >> told steve kornacki with a straight face. absolutely, yes, we will. ah, but today. today one of sanders' strategists said the campaign will "take a step back and reevaluate things" after the next set of primaries. so when's that? the biggest prize up for grabs next week, on tuesday, is pennsylvania. and would you look at the lead? there's a new poll that shows hillary clinton is leading there

by 13 points. so where's ed henry? ed henry's in philly, and he is live there for us this afternoon. and the question now for ed henry is ed, we're getting mixed messages from the sanders campaign. but i thought that little solo flight back to burlington was the strongest message of them all. >> reporter: you're right, shep. it indicated maybe he was going to take a time out here and potentially drop out. or think about shifting gears at least. instead, you're right, it's a mixed message because his advisers are saying, yes, we're going to reevaluate but not after the whipping they had last night. instead reevaluate after next tuesday. who knows what's going to happen? he might lose a whole bunch more states. or maybe he wins a couple and tries to get a rationale out of that to stay in and keep fighting. the bottom line is he was also, when he landed in vermont last night, bernie sanders sounding negative about how if only independent voters were in an open primary in new york he might have won. watch.

>> while i congratulate secretary clinton, i must say that i am really concerned about the conduct of the voting process in new york state. and i hope that that process will change in the future. >> reporter: and specifically there, he's talking about how people were knocked off the rolls, something the clinton camp says they're concerned about as well. people simply not allowed to vote. but he also complained about independent voters not being able to vote in the democratic primary. hillary clinton tried to shake all of this off and say look, she said everything's thrown at her and she's still standing. watch. >> you know, we're going to go up against some powerful forces that will do, say, and spend whatever it takes to stop us. but remember, it's not whether you get knocked down. it's whether you get back up. >> reporter: and yes, she likes to talk about all the money that's going to be spent on the right. but one of the super pacs supporting hillary clinton today

announced they've also raised tens and tens of millions of dollars and they're ready to attack whomever she ends up facing in a general election if in fact she seals this. >> one of senator sanders' line is and has been when we get to a general election i'm going to do a lot better than senator clinton against whoever the republican is. but the numbers don't show that at all. >> sure. on a big problem for him is that new york voters, the folks actually deciding last night among democrats, said no way, bernie sanders. and you look at the exit polling. it basically says here, who has a better chance to beat donald trump in november? and it was 65% said clinton. 31% say sanders. even a quarter of sanders supporters admitted in further exit polling that clinton could do very well against donald trump. so look, what sanders is talking about is fox news and other organizations doing private polling, outside polling that suggests in hypothetical head-to-head match-ups sanders

does very well against trump head to head. but the bottom line is voters who actually decide things on the democratic side say they're not buying that and they think clinton would do better against trump. >> ed henry in philly. ed, thanks. get ready to see a new face in your wallet starting pretty soon. andrew jackson is going to disappear from the $20 bill. his replacement, civil rights icon. and chris has the details. this came out today. >> it just came out today, shep. it's going to be harriet tubman. she will be the first woman on u.s. paper currency in more than 100 years. the last woman that appeared on u.s. paper currency was martha washington in the 1800s. harriet tubman is of course a leader of the underground railroad, an abolitionist during the american civil war. meantime, jackson won't disappear completely. there's word he may actually move to the back of the bill. and as far as alexander hamilton there, was word last year that a woman would replace him but it looks like he's going to be there to stay. and that's thanks in part to a movement that was created after the success of "hamilton" the musical on broadway, which is as

you know incredible. it's completely sold out. but -- >> forever. >> forever. but it's pretty great. but as far as when we can see this new redesign with harriet tubman, that could be as soon as 2020. that marks 100 years since women's suffrage. and when the 19th amendment was ratified, which gave women the right to vote. >> 2020. four years to change the bill. thank you, chris. >> you're welcome. >> whose fault is it that an entire city full of people cannot drink the water that comes out of their taps? who is to blame for a public health crisis that has affected 100,000 people? today michigan's attorney general announced the very first charges against three low-level workers for the decisions that led to a drinking water disaster in flint. but he promises more charges are coming. so perhaps more people will pay for an entirely manmade catastrophe that has affected so many innocent americans. the news on this is coming up. but the real news didn't actually happen today. the real news has been ongoing

there is breaking news now on fox news channel. in the last few seconds we got this alert from associated press, and it's a very big one. the matter of volkswagen. volkswagen says it has reached an agreement with the u.s. government to spend just more than $1 billion to compensate owners of diesel cars that cheat on emissions tests. this news is breaking now. more when we get it. we've had a tochb political coverage lately. so how about a quick break? we'll keep an eye on the candidates and let you know what they're up to if anything happens. but in the next 15 minutes or so we're going to fill you in on some big other news. including the president's trip to saudi arabia amid controversy in d.c. over the declassified 28 pages of the 9/11 report that may show saudi arabia's connection to the attackers. also, the navy backing away from its latest efforts to get women to join up. why?

just wait till you see the letter the military sent out. and charges announced this afternoon in a water crisis that devastated a city. so who's in trouble? and what exactly the prosecutors accused them of doing. that's all coming up before you see one more commercial. first, though, it all begins with the president's trip to saudi arabia and our slide show. and today the president has landed in riyadh, did so just a couple of hours ago, and here are the first pictures of that. his fourth trip to that country. more than any other american president. but the saudi king was not at the airport to greet our president when he arrived. a lower-ranking royal was there instead. analysts say it is unusual and that it might be intended to send some sort of message. the two leaders did end up meeting just a little bit later. president obama's visit comes at a delicate time in relations with saudi arabia. that's in part because of the kingdom's strong opposition to the nuclear deal with iran. the fox business network's blake

berman has more on this. another elephant in the room at that meeting. the classified pages of the 9/11 report which could show ties to some saudis. >> that's right, shepard. the president's meeting with king salman and his trip to saudi arabia comes amid a renewed debate here at home surrounding those 28 pages. those of course as we now know are the classified documents only seen by a small group of lawmakers, many of whom investigated the leadup to 9/11. it is the suggestion of some that the documents could show the saudi government at some level could have had some link to the september 11th terrorist attacks. the top democrat on the house intelligence committee, adam schiff, wrote earlier today that he thinks the information should be made available to the general public. i am quoting here. "the release of these pages will not end the debate over the issue, but it will quiet rumors over their contents." as is often the case, he says, "the reality is less damaging than the uncertainty." former iraq envoy paul bremer said as much earlier today to

neil cavuto on the fox business network. >> i can understand the president's concern because it would have potentially quite an impact on the way americans view the saudis. so i can understand the concern. but i think in the end whatever can be declassified should be. >> this also comes as congress renews its interest in a bill that would allow the families of 9/11 victims to potentially sue saudi arabia. the white house opposes that possibility, shepard, as it says it could open up our government to lawsuits potentially down the line. >> blake, the crisis in flint, michigan produced the first criminal charges today. michigan's attorney general announcing indictments against three low-level government officials in connection with the water poisoning there. >> we will protect the victims, the families and citizens of flint. and we will hold each and every person, each and every person who breaks the law will be held

accountable. we'll follow the facts without fear or favor, and we'll go wherever the truth takes us. and in this case wherever the e-mails take us. these charges are only the beginning. and there will be more to come. that i can guarantee you. >> the officials involved are a water treatment plant supervisor as well as two state employees. charges include tampering with evidence as well as misconduct in office. you'll remember state officials took over flint city government. then the one man in charge, a man not elected by the people, switched the city's water supply to the flint river back in 2014 to save money. it ended up poisoning people instead. there are 100,000 victims. and the real news is the water is still poisonous because the corrosive water from the flint river corroded the lead pipes and lead is still coming into people's homes. the effect on children, potential stunted growth,

learning disabilities, and hearing loss. in others, high blood pressure, joint and muscle pain, reduced sperm count in men, miscarriages, and premature births for women. and almost two years later the state is still not fixing the problem that the state caused. it is a federal and state disaster and emergency, manmade, completely unavoidable and ongoing now and for the foreseeable future. there are calls for the governor to resign. there's the possibility he could face charges. today, as i mentioned, low-level workers do. and laura ingle has that. >> michigan's attorney general bill schuette said no one is above the law in this case as he laid out 13 felony and five misdemeanor charges against those three men which could bring all of them between four and five years in prison if convicted. some of the most damaging accusations are against michael prysby, a michigan department of environmental quality official. that's known as the d.e.q.

and stephen busch, a former d.e.q. district coordinator. investigators say both allegedly tampered with evidence of lead levels on certain water samples in homes of residents of flint after the lead contamination occurred. prysby and busch are also accused of refusing to treat river water with control corrosion chemicals, which allowed lead to leak from aging pipes and fixtures and contaminate tap water for 18 months. >> they had a duty to protect the health of families and citizens of flint. they failed. they failed to discharge their duties. they failed. they failed in their responsibilities to protect the health and safety of families of flint. >> flint's laboratory and water quality supervisor mike glasgow is accused of tampering with evidence when he allegedly changed testing results to show there was less lead in city water than there actually was. accusations that have left both residents and investigators emotional and angry.

for forward-thinking women in today's navy. but here is part of the letter that didn't sit too well with some feminist groups. it says you can take on the "kind of exciting hands-on work that most girls aren't even aware of, making your mark in areas that certainly aren't just for the guys. and what' what's more, you can do all this while staying in touch with your feminine side." here's what one group said. "you wouldn't recruit a boy by saying that. it's relying on old stereotypes instead of a picture of modern women who can really make a contribution to the navy and how needed they are." most of the letter was pretty standard for recruiting. it talked about things like world travel, unrivaled job training a ing aning and takingt responsibilities. >> how's the navy responding? >> the navy's bottom line is women are essential to its mission and that wording of this letter was a mistake. the letter has been removed from the navy's data base and the navy spokesman said, "we are reviewing all of our template mailers to ensure that they contain only language that reflects our core values and beliefs and are respectful of

all." particularly want to mention that i reached out to some of my former colleagues who are navy women who have done things like flying in jets. one of them told me that the job she's in now, when she was growing up she would have thought it was just for the guys as the flyer put it and they both actually told me the message was right on, that you can be a feminine woman and a sailor at the same time, but they do agree that the wording might not have come across that well. >> missed just a little bit. lea, thank you. ahead, does america have a porn problem? one state just declared a health crisis because of porn. that's next. from bank of america to buy a new gym bag. before earning 1% cash back everywhere, every time and 2% back at the grocery store. even before he got 3% back on gas. kenny used his bankamericard cash rewards credit card to join the wednesday night league. because he loves to play hoops. not jump through them. that's the excitement of rewarding connections. apply online or at a bank of america near you.
