prince rodgers nelson here in minnesota. early today the rnc committee decided not to make any changes to the guidelines for the republican convention. here now with reaction, 2016 republican front-runner mr. trump. i think the final number was 92 delegates out of new york. that's almost a complete sweep. >> we got almost every one of them. we had a big win. we were over 61%. it was an amazing evening. it's nice when the people that know you best like you. that tells you something. we had a great evening. >> let's talk about the rules committee. they decided to weigh in by not weighing in. we'll have experts coming up later. is that a good thing from your perspective? >> well, i think they had to do that. i think they were looking to make changes. there's been so much of a problem between colorado and

louisiana and wyoming and all the different places. i won louisiana and got less delegates than people that lost and it's ridiculous or that a specific person who lost who has absolutely no chance of winning anyway and then you look at colorado and wyoming where the people never got to vote and in the case of colorado and probably both the people wanted to vote and they never got a chance to vote. it was given out by the bosses. that's no way to run a democracy and it's no way to run an election, that i can tell you. >> i had reince priebus on my radio show earlier today and i asked him questions about for example if there was a contested convention, second ballots, how people go about courting delegates, i want you to listen to this question and answer and give me your reaction. >> let's say that you can't get to 1,237 but you think you can win on a second or third ballot and you and your team are courting the delegates, after the first ballot when you're free we want you to vote for us,

what are they allowed legally to offer those people? can they offer them hotel rooms, plane rides, expensive dinners? >> i know the lawyers are looking at that and i think in the past it's been pretty -- it's been a big free for all but i don't think you can give money. >> you can't give money, but you can pay for their plane ticket to the convention. >> the fcc has regulations on all of those things. >> i checked with my sources, you can offer plane tickets, hotel rooms, you can take delegates out to expensive dinners. that's troubling to me. i don't know if you knew that before now. you're reaction? >> well, i did know it and it's troubling not only troubling it should be illegal. you shouldn't be able to do it. in theory you could take somebody who never comes in first place, as an example with cruz, i'm winning by millions of votes and i'm also 300 delegates up, but i'm winning by millions and millions of votes and we're

voting for delegates and what they're doing is take a look. they're traveling them around, they're taking them out to dinner. you could actually take a couple of hundred million dollars and buy an election and never win a race because all you have to do is take them out to dinner and send them to paris for the evening. i would say i think it's a disgrace and we should not be -- this it is not our system and this should not be the republican party. i'm so proud of myself -- i exposed this. this was going on for a long time and it's now been exposed and it shouldn't be allowed. you have people that are millions of votes down and they're buying delegates. that should not be allowed. >> the ap has said in an article that senator cruz is mathematically incapable of reaching 1,237. when john kasich got to that point in the campaign, this is what he said. >> john kasich is a good man. he's an honorable man, but he

has no path to nomination. it's mathematically impossible for john kasich to become the republican nominee. he needs more than 100% of the remaining delegates and kasich went for 0-27, lost 27 states in a row and won his home state. you can't lose every state and expect to be the nominee. right now kasich's role is really being a spoiler. >> what is your reaction? do you have a problem with both men? they can't get to 1,237 before the convention, but they can fight for a contested convention and try to fight to prevent you to getting to 1,237. what's your reaction. >> they should both drop out. cruz has no path. he's out. they should both drop out. remember this, while i'm almost 300 delegates ahead and millions of votes ahead, it's really unfair because i wasn't competing against one person, i was competing against 16 people at the beginning.

so we'd have splits with 16 people and then 14 people and 12 people and eight people and nine people and it would go on that way and then even now we have three people. we should be having like just one and i don't really care and we're ringing winning by a lot when you break it upened a you have that many people you're getting less. marco rubio has more delegates right now than kasich and those are delegates that are taken out of play so it makes it hard for me to get them and he's right now not in play. so the point is the whole system is rigged. it's a phoney crooked system where people are allowed to buy delegates and buy hotel rooms for them and take them out to dinner and do whatever they have to do to get their vote. that's not democracy. >> it's interesting. in spite of that your campaign had an internal memo that made it into the press that you believe you could get as many as 1,400 delegates. paul manafort who works for the

campaign actually said that you will be running a more traditional campaign, that you will raise money for other candidates in the rnc and you have also laid out a series of speeches that you will be giving, policy speeches on specific issues with a lot of detail. can you tell us what the changes are moving forward? >> well, it's all true what he said is all true. we will be doing a lot of policy. we will be helping other members of the party general speaking, other members of the party and one thing that's very important is we have to unify the party because we're going to beat hillary clinton. i think i'm going to win new york and if i win new york no republican will even campaign -- it's game over. no republican other than me will even campaign in new york. they won't waste one day there because they can't win. look at cruz. he came in third to kasich and nobody understands how that's even possible. but you just take a look. he cannot get anything in a lot

of these states. >> did you know that you only spent 13 cents per vote in new york and bernie sanders spent $9. that was interesting. we have to take a break. we have a few more questions. more with donald trump as we continue and coming up tonight as well. >> i no, ma'am going am not goi responding to all the crazy stuff he says. >> hillary clinton refuses to respond to donald trump's criticism and his new nickname. that's the least of her problems because bernie sanders supporters don't seem to like her very much. we'll explain and get reaction from donald trump. later james cuomo says the fbi investigation into the clinton serve scandal may not be done before the constipated? trust number one doctor recommended dulcolax use dulcolax tablets for gentle overnight relief suppositories for relief in minutes and stool softeners for comfortable relief of hard stools.

dulcolax, designed for dependable relief bounty is two times more absorbent. more "sit" per roll. so one roll of bounty can last longer than those bargain brands. so you get more "life" per roll. bounty. the long-lasting quicker picker upper. (patrick 2) pretty great.ke to be the boss of you? (patrick 1) how about a 10% raise? (patrick 2) how about 20? (patrick 1) how about done? (patrick 2) that's the kind of control i like... ...and that's what they give me at national car rental. i can choose any car in the aisle i want- without having to ask anyone. who better to be the boss of you... (patrick 1)than me. i mean, you...us. (vo) go national. go like a pro.

you know what bernie sanders said about her twice.

you know that. he said she wasn't qualified. that's tough. that's tough. but he said bad judgment. >> there's the first attack. >> you think so. you know george, i am not going to be responding to all the crazy stuff he says. >> i bet she will be. anyway, that was hillary this morning talking about donald trump to of course a clinton supporter trying to bush off criticism. we continue with republican presidential candidate donald trump. he came up with a nickname, crooked hillary. >> it's a name i've been using because it's descriptive. it's true what bernie says, it's bad judgment. you look at our decisions and look at the migration that's caused by a lot of her bad decisions, you take a look at just about anything, many of the things having to do with the

middle east. you look at iraq where she voted for the war so she does have bad judgment and i think she has very bad judgment frankly. bernie said she's not qualified. i guess she's qualified certainly, but her judgment is very bad. look at what happened in ben gaz zi. she wasn't there to answer the phone. so i think that she's a very flawed candidate. >> let me ask, i know there's a huge issue in north carolina and it's the so-called bathroom law. a lot of people have made -- i don't know how much people this impacts. ted cruz tried to attack you on this today. i wanted to give you a chance to explain your position on that as it relates to transgenders picking which bathroom they can't to go. i can't believe i'm asking the question but i'm asking.

>> it's a small number, but we have to take care of everybody. north carolina which is a great place and i love north carolina and they have a law and it's a law that unfortunately causing them some problems and i fully understand that they want to go through, but they are losing business and they are having people come out against. with me i look at it differently, a community is really -- they should be involved. we have so many big issues to be thinking about. we have isis to worry about. we have bringing trade back. we have rebuilding military. but i think this, i think that local communities and states should make the decision and i feel very strongly about that. the federal government should not be involved. >> let the state decide what local community decide kind of like your position on education, give it back to the states. >> yeah, let them decide. absolutely. >> i have asked you many times about your tax plan. you were asked that question this morning about raising taxes on the wealthy. >> right. >> you had said you want to

lower taxes for everybody and as a matter of fact under your plan you talk about a lot of people paying no federal income tax. do you want to raise taxes on the wetalthy. >> i want to do something with the wall street guys because some of these guys are making so much money. i want to get rid of carried interest and some other things but overall my taxes are going down for the middle class and for business and i think ultimately everyone's going to do better because our businesses are going to generate for money and we're going to have a vital economy again. we have the phoney unemployment rate of 5% when the number is in the 20s. you look for a job, you can't find a job, you quit looking for a job and you're considered as th though you're fully employed.

our jobs are being ripped away from our country. i left upstate new york -- >> i go all the time. >> they're des mated up there. >> it's horrible. horrible. >> we're going to bring our jobs back to this country. we're bringing our jobs back to this country and companies that want to leave, they're going to have to pay the consequences. this fa if they're going to leave they're going to have to pay the consequences, which is in this case is taxes. >> if you take the jobs and benefits away, they shouldn't be given financial benefits. you were talking about loopholes, especially on wall street, but not the rich in general. did i understand that correctly? >> sure. i know the wall street guys. they make a fortune and they pay little tax and you have to pay tax. there are so many different loopholes and so many different ways of avoiding.

we want to have a lower tax. we're the highest tax country in the world. there's no country close. we're going to get taxes down, but the wall street guys with the carried interests, we have to get rid of that. nobody understands the system better. i understand the system by far better than anybody and they know it and that's why i don't think i'm going to get so much backing from wall street. >> even bernie sanders -- >> the ones that are going to benefit -- >> bernie sanders pays 14% taxes. i paid 40 in federal. i need a better accountant. i paid city tax of 4% and a state tax of 10%. it's insane. there's loopholes, some of these wall street guys they pay 10 and 12%. it's insane. >> the death tax we want to get rid of it and if you go with bernie forget it, but if you go with hillary taxes are going to go up. i want to reduce taxes and for the middle class a huge reduction and for businesslike

wise, big reduction. >> newt gingrich said you're the presumptive nooecminee. let me ask this question because i think it's really relevant. you know the 17 guys that began this process with you. who can you name people that of the 17 and others that you would like to bring in to unite the party. a lot of people are worried. will the party unite? if the party doesn't unite hillary clinton becomes president. who are people you would like to have working with you? >> sure. i can tell you that ben carson is a terrific guy. he endorsed me and chris christie endorsed me and he is a fantastic guy. these are two tremendous people. i'd like to have them. frankly, marco i'd love to have involved. honestly many of them, almost all of them. i'm not saying all of them, but

almost all of them. this party has to unite. then you're going to have the house and senate. if i'm running, i'm going to win michigan, i'm going to win -- i have a chance at winning new york. that's a tough one because people don't -- republicans don't campaign in new york. >> or new jersey. >> you see what i did a couple of days ago. i'm going to win new jersey. i love new jersey and they like me. you look at the polls right now. we're going to win pennsylvania. we're going to win places that other people have no chance of winning. and frankly new york because of the size, new jersey because of the size, very big, we're going to have victories that nobody else can have. >> if you get the nomination, would you consider naming people earlier than as usual? in other words before the election? >> well, i would and i would like to do that and i want to see -- there are certain people frankly people that were on the

stage with me that are excellent people and they didn't make it quite, some did a really good job and ben carson did a fantastic job and so did chris christie and so did marco and so did numerous other of the people and i got to know them all. it was a little bit of tough because we're warring against each other, but the other ones i'm going to name very soon, i'm going to name ten or 12 judges that i would recommend to put on the supreme court and i'm going to name them up front and i'm only going to take the judges out of that pool of judges. because i want people to understand that i want the values in terms of the republican party and the conservatives i want judges that you will be happy with. i'm going to actual name 10 or 12 judges up front and that will be a pool i will take from that. >> you told me people like scalia and thomas. >> two wonderful names. >> i know you have a big crowd

there. thank you. appreciate it. we'll talk
