8:01 am
that is what ted cruz and john kasich are counting on, ganging up on donald trump to deny him certain states and 1237 delegates needed to clinch. >> it was announced that john kasich is was pulling out of indiana to focus his resources on other states, and that we are focusing our resources intently on the state of indiana. that is giving the voters of indiana a clear and direct choice, between donald trump and our campaign. >> collusion. in business you go to jail for that. but it is collusion where they're coming together because they're getting beaten badly. >> i really don't care what donald trump has to say. the man is full of insults. he has been insulting me all day. i kind of chuckle. i think it is humor -- humor rouse. the trump people are desperate and fearful we'll end up in open convention. heather: on democratic side, 384
8:02 am
delegates available across the five states as hillary clinton looks to close in on the nomination but bernie sanders, he does need a big upset today to slow her down. in fact she is already moving focus of her attacks from sanders to trump. jon: senior political correspondent mike emanuel begins our coverage. he is live in huntington, west virginia, where sanders holds a rally ahead of the state's primary two weeks from now. mike? reporter: jon, heather, good morning, it is expected to be a big day for hillary clinton in the so-called acela primary in the mid-atlantic and northeast. senator bernie sanders is not showing any signs he is ready to give up the fight. sanders doing an event in philadelphia, trying to drive voter turnout for him this evening. on the stump sanders continues to make the case that hillary clinton's proposals are not good enough. >> if you work in america 40 hours a week you should not be living in poverty. [cheers and applause]
8:03 am
secretary clinton, secretary clinton thinks we should raise the minimum wage to 12 bucks an hour. not good enough! [shouting] together we'll raise the minimum wage to 15 bucks an hour. [cheering] reporter: president obama's former campaign manager david plouffe is pushing sanders on twitter. saying sanders run a stunningly strong campaign fueled by passionate supporters, raising money, stating you have a path to the nomination is fraud. meanwhile an actress supporting bernie sanders getting pretty tough, bringing up clinton scandals of the past. >> you're really fending for ourselves right now. we are literally under attack for not just supporting the other candidate. now i'm with monica lewinsky with this, bullying is bad. [cheering] she is actually dedicated her
8:04 am
life now to talking about that. and now as a campaign strategy we being bullied. reporter: as for hillary clinton she is clearly trying to turn the page from sanders and shifting her focus to the republicans. >> come out of those towers, for yourself and actually talk and listen to people! you got to spend time with americans of all sorts and back grounds, in every part of our country. don't just fly that big jet in and land it and go make a big speech and insult everybody. [laughter]. reporter: bernie sanders will be jumping ahead this evening bringing his message of income inequality to huntington, west virginia, an area that has been hard hit, hoping to connect with folks several weeks ahead the primary. jon? jon: mike emanuel in huntington, west virginia. thank you, mike. 502 delegates hangs in the
8:05 am
balance. 118 for republicans, 384 for democrats. here to break it down, john hart, editor-in-chief at opportunity leaves and communications director for former oklahoma senator coburn and we also have a former advisor to maryland congressman chris van hollen. welcome to both of you. doug, we have run out of appendages to tack on to super tuesday. used to be the first super tuesday was the day that sort of determined who the nominees were going to be. we're on our third or fourth one this time around. is this the day that ends this race or does it go on to california for both parties? >> jon, they call this the acela primary. i think secretary clinton will have pretty smooth ride. i think she could potentially win five out of five states. that really makes the path for senator sanders not only narrow
8:06 am
but as narrow as a tightrope. my hunch he stays in till california but i bet you will see a little bit of adjustment in his message. these attacks on clinton for being unqualified and other things like that i think are going to go away. jon: then why stay in. >> well because he has a lot of supporters who believe in him and want him to stay in. he has a lot of money coming in. so money isn't an issue. you know, like any competitive person it is hard to drop out. it is just a very hard thing to do and secretary clinton stayed until the end. i think bernie sanders will as well, but i think he will have to, for the good of the party he will have to adjust how he talks about secretary clinton and talkses about this race. jon: speaking of competitive, john, donald trump is saying this collusion he calls it between his two remaining rivals is all about politics and bad policy. you don't exactly see it the same way? >> no, not at all.
8:07 am
trump's problem is he is only getting 38% of the popular vote. in other words 62% of the republican primary voters want someone other than donald trump to be nominee. trump alone is responsible for not closing the deal. he is not a real conservative. he is not even a republican by my definition and definition of a lot of voters. so what is happening cruz and kasich are appealing to the 62% of the party that wants another option and it is a matter of survival for them. this will not be decisive night tonight. their upcoming primaries that will be. indiana for example. if trump doesn't win indiana and cruz beats him there and good chance of open convention which will either give cruz or kasich a reasonable shot at becoming nominee. jon: you say 62% of the republicans want somebody else, but you're going back to when there were lots of other candidates to vote for and those other candidates aren't in the race now. >> right, but at this stage in the race four years ago there were four people in the race and romney ended up getting over 50%
8:08 am
of the vote, popular vote. so trump is least popular front-runner in modern history on the republican side. and reason he is not popular is because his campaign chief advisory, paul manafort had this embarrassing statement where he said trump is playing a part. voters don't want someone playing a part. they want someone committed to a set of principles and trump has no real principles. cruz and kasich do, and they're having a thoughtful competition about who is going to be best nominee. jon: doug, as you watch the republican race, one thing it seems clear that voters really like is an outsider. now, if you're right, if hillary clinton seals the deal today, she is about as far from a political outsider as you can get. what does that mean for her prospects as the democratic potential nominee? >> well, i think, i don't think there are really any outsiders remaining. trump's billionaire. he has been very active in politics, and business world.
8:09 am
hard for me to describe him as an outsider, both kasich and cruz have been involved in politics for years and years and years. bernie sanders has been in congress for years as well. so i think that's a political label that politicians use to try to give them an advantage. i think you're dealing with a bunch of insiders. secretary clinton matches up well against donald trump in the general election. you have comment like one that john made and other republicans made about trump and his vulnerabilities and you have ted cruz who is likely number two who may be even more unpopular than donald trump. so i think she has got, i think her prospects in the general are strong. she has to run a very good race though because it will not be hand to her. jon: but, john, you might not like donald trump and it sounds to me like you don't but if he becomes the nominee, most republicans say they will eventually support the nominee of their party. what do you say? >> well i'm afraid that is not going to happen, again, trump
8:10 am
has not lined up with republican values, conservative values. and to doug's point trump is one man stimulus program for people like doug and democratic consultants and attack ad makers. it would be a field day if trump was nominee. there is so much material to work with, he would be blown out. and it would have damaging effect down the ballot for other races, in states like pennsylvania, wisconsin, and so forth. and senate and house races. jon: as we said today, is a big day. we'll see what happens when votes are in. john heart, during thornell. thank you both. >> thank you, jon. jon: fox news is america's election headquarters. tune in tonight the battle for the east, anchored by megyn kelly and bret baier. six off 6:00 p.m. eastern time. heather: some new information now as president obama responds recent weapons test by north korea. the commander-in-chief saying
8:11 am
pongyang is low level threat but must be taken seriously when it comes to developing nuclear weapons. >> north korea is a massive challenge. our first priority is to protect the american people and our allies, republic korea of japan vulnerable to the provocative actions north korea is engaging in. they are erratic enough. their leader is personally is irresponsible enough we don't want them getting close. heather: following all of this, rich edson is from the white house. rich, what's the latest? reporter: heather is there is plenty to take seriously north korea continues to launch missiles and continues to advance its nuclear program. as pentagon officials tell fox news, confirm to fox news north korea is preparing perhaps for another nuclear test. that would be its fifth nuclear test. its forth was? january. president obama's remarks to cbs

and shooting nine black parishioners in charleston, south carolina. 21-year-old. >> wii meek pleads guilty to lying to authorities and failing to report a crime. meek said roof stayed with him during the shooting. woman's body was found in a well in kentucky. 29-year-old joseph jones faces charges of murder and tampering with evidence in death of his wife, rachel jones. body found west of new orleans identify as that of a missing teenage girl. 16-year-old jorion white's body found in a drainage ditch sunday afternoon. she was last seen in her home thursday night. investigators say they suspect foul play. heather: to an extreme weather alert, bracing for the possibility much severe weather today. this was the seen. take a look in kansas, sunday night.
8:18 am
that is hail hammering down, the system moving out of the west into the central and southern plains, expected to bring damaging winds and some violent tornadoes. senior meteorologist janice dean live from the extreme weather center with more. tell us what is on the way, janice. >> heather, you are absolutely right. a severe weather outbreak is expected across the central and southern plains. we're seeing severe weather for parts of missouri. severe thunderstorm watch in effect until 2:00 p.m. we have severe thunderstorm warnings have been ongoing since early this morning with large hail, damaging winds and heavy rain with this. the main event will set up later this afternoon, go into the overnight into tomorrow. cold pressure, warp front, cold front, all abundant moisture from the gulf of mexico and the setup will be on going for at least 12 hours or so starting late this afternoon into the overnight as i mentioned, anywhere from texas all the way up to nebraska with hail,
8:19 am
damaging winds and long-lasting, long-tractornados possible. tornado outbreak, we haven't seen one in couple of months. this is the time, this is the season where we see the potential for dangerous tornadoes. we have this hatched area here where we have the highest probability of tornadoes from really dallas, towards hastings, nebraska. these are areas of concern. we will of course keep you posted weather radios need to be on tonight to give you latest warnings. we want people on alert because this could be a dangerous situation setting up especially during overnight hours. the threat tomorrow will diminish somewhat but we'll have to be on guard. we'll keep you up-to-date. heather, back to you. heather: we'll stay tuned. thank you so much, janice. >> of course. jon: real estate heir and murder suspect robert durst learns his fate on a louisiana weapons charge even as he awaits murder trial in california. why he is asking the judge to send him to prison in that

8:24 am
>> dismantling isil a priority and, although we are not going to be sending ground troops into fight, we are going to try to find out what works and then double down and one of the things that's worked so far is us putting special forcing in for training and advising of local forces but also intelligence gathering. jon: president obama announcing the u.s. will send 250 additional special-ops forces to syria to help in the fight against isis but as you just heard, he is holding back on deploying more ground troops. some analysts like our next guest say we are still nowhere near destroying the terror group's safe haven in syria. jack keane is retired four-star army general, chairman of the institute for study of war and a fox news military analyst. so give us your military expertise when it comes to the 250 troops the president is sending in. he says they will not be combat
8:25 am
forces. they are primarily there to advise and train. how would you assess that from a military standpoint? >> it is another incremental addition that will definitely be helpful as we're trying to stitch together a syrian sunni army to defeat isis at their safe haven in raqqa and surrounding areas. this will obviously take some time. they will be effective with the use of air power. so our viewers understand from a military perspective the safe haven was formed in syria in 2012. isis two years later intrade ad iraq. when a military commanders looks at isis they know the center of gravity is in syria, their so-called safe haven and headquarters where everything happens, internet campaign, funding recruiting and motivating others to conduct terrorist acts abroad. all of that generates from syria. that is the center of gravity. any military commander worth his salt, would tell the president first place we to, destroy the
8:26 am
head, cut it off and go after isis in syria there is no army to do that. syrians are fighting assad. saudi arabiaance came forward we can put together ground force of sunni states if you're willing to participate with us and we'll go after isis this is very early on. we said no because we did not want to put boots on the ground. that's why we're two years plus into this and that safe haven still exists. a new president will come on board, jon, in january. i'm sure he will ask for options to deal with isis. that option will be back on the table whether the president selects it or not is certainly up to their judgment. jon: we spend millions of dollars trying to stand up syrian army to take on isis, right? we found four or five soldiers who were actually able to fight? why continue to throw money and
8:27 am
troops frankly at the notion that you will train syrians to carry on the battle with isis? >> that's a great question. you're absolutely right. we tried to stitch together a syrian sunni army to fight isis before and we couldn't get volunteers to do it because they were all fighting assad. there are now some sunni arabs in the eastern part of syria are willing to fight. we've had people in contact with them for weeks now. and we believe we'll be able to stitch something together. whether it is going to be decisive in the near term i doubt. it will take time for the force to grow and take time for the kind of combat power assisted by u.s. special-ops to be decisive. that is likely sometime in 2017. eventually the safe haven will go, jon. this option we're using is the slowest option and it will take some time. jon: this president obviously
8:28 am
won office by promising to end the war in iraq. we're up to, as i understand it, 4,000 troops on the ground in iraq-syria theater. sounds like from the low point we're going way back up? >> yeah. it does remind us of other conflicts we had where we made these incremental changes. the numbers are probably a little higher than that because we do not count people that go over there few months and return and they're replaced by others. the number, the unofficial number is somewhere around 5000. most of us who have been looking at this from the beginning said we needed a force somewhere around 10,000 to start out with, to accelerate the growth and development of the iraqi army and also to participate more holistically what is going on in syria but that was obviously an option that was never executed by the president. jon: there is a new book coming out called, "alter egos, hillary clinton, barack obama and twilight struggle for american
8:29 am
power." part of it excerpted in "new york times" sunday magazine. it suggests that hillary clinton would do a more muscular foreign policy than barack obama. how do you see it? >> jon, i don't comment on candidate policies or issues that are running for president but this author is referencing a time when secretary clinton was a senator and secretary of state and i was able to observe during that time frame because she sought advise from military leaders at the time, i among them, and that advice she was seeking was even though diplomacy was her lane, she wanted to understand military power, it ice, and its risks and i was was able to observe close hand because i as advising general petraeus in and out of afghanistan during at that time, virtually every decision our field commanders made she agreed
8:30 am
and supported even though she was secretary of state. whether that means definition of a hawk, those are simplistic terms, hawk and dove we use to label people. foreign policy and national security much more complicated than those two terms. jon: the article exsented in "the new york times," how hillary clinton became a hawk. general jack keane, now retired four-star general. jack, thank you very much. >> good talking to you, jon. heather: speaking of hillary clinton apparently not feeling the bern, not at all. firing back when asked a question about senator sanders. we'll show you that heated exchange. if a denture were to be

8:35 am
check out this back and forth with rachel maddow. >> that was june 7, 2008, when you endorsed president obama. june 7, 2016, will be the california primary. if you are ahead in the votes you are ahead in delegates. >> i am ahead in votes. i am ahead on the votes. i have the greatest respect for senator sanders but what he had his supporters are now saying just doesn't add up. i have 2.7 million more votes than he had. i have 250 more pledged delegates. i am proud that we have run and the support we have gotten and of course we will work together. i share a lot of the same goals. we are going to work together but i am ahead. let's start from that premise while we talk about what happens
8:36 am
next, okay? >> former campaign manager for martin o'malley, former 2008 campaign manager for mike huckabee's presidential bid. thank you for joining us. i will start with you. you can hear the frustration in her voice. you add in the superdelegates and she is only 400 or so short of the 2383 needed to clinch the nomination so why are we continuing to go down this path? >> he is the presumptive nominee but can't quite claim the title yet. that is the anger that you see from last night. i think the call for bernie sanders to drop out is a little premature. he is very much drying big large crowds, tens of thousands of people coming out to see them. and he is energizing the base,
8:37 am
the critical use vote the democrats are going to need and she can't afford to alienate the critical voting block because as we saw in 2008, without that use vote and the coalition obama will make it to the white house, that is important for her to realize and her campaign to remember, you can't alienate bernie sanders right now. and as rachel maddow started with her question she was in the race four days past the last primary contest and when all was said and done and she was asked to bring everybody together -- she brought everybody together, all the supporters. >> i want to ask something, alienating potential voters who would cross over to her who are supporting bernie sanders. how does she do that? >> he has to be careful because
8:38 am
a lot of youth vote. for a lot of those candidates, youth voters, hillary clinton is their grandparents politician or their parents politician, the youth vote is behind bernie sanders. he is energized and focus, they are excited to vote, bernie sanders, not excited to vote for hillary. he has to make that case at some point why they should vote for hillary clinton and if they perceive that hillary clinton has snubbed bernie sanders they won't be enthusiastic in november. >> part of the frustration is bernie sanders is seemingly not willing to do that. listen to this exchange that happened with one of the young voters who said not only would he not support her, he won't vote for her. >> i believe he will win the nomination of the presidency but if you don't will you encourage your voters to vote for hillary clinton? >> let me answer it in this way.
8:39 am
first, i think it is -- we are not a movement where i snap my fingers and say to you with anybody else what you should do because you won't listen to me. you make these decisions yourself. >> he is not willing to do that yet. today he is behind in at least four of the five states where delegates are up for grabs. what should he do should he come out today or tonight with losses across five states? >> i don't think he will drop out. he will take this to california until june 7th which is fine. both candidates have brought a lot of voters out to come out and vote in the primaries for democrat and whoever is the nominee, a better candidate in a general election, he will come around, in 2008, it was more contentious between obama and clinton and she was able to deliver her supporters to obama and he will come around and have
8:40 am
a grout -- a great speaking crowd if he is not the nominee. >> is he withdrawing that? he does want a significant role along with a speaking role at the convention, a role in drafting the convention platform as well? >> all of the above. bernie sanders is having a blast. he does not want to get out of this race. is raising a ton of money, flying on private jets, giving speeches in 2010,000 people, secret service detail, when he gets out of the race he loses all of that so he will stay in as long as he can because he is having more fun, he is a lot less interested in the dnc platform than he is in his platform and he will use every delegate he can muster to make sure his presence is felt that the convention. >> he is an independent. we only have a brief moment to wrap it up, but in terms of
8:41 am
things like the $15 minimum wage, the wall street banks, banning fracking, are those all issues that hillary clinton does need to embrace in order to get supporters on her side? she does say she is in favor of a $14 minimum wage. >> most definitely she is going to have to embrace the different planks bernie sanders is going forward especially if she wants the youth vote we are talking about. he has energized the base and made it exciting and look what happened in new york with exit polls showing 7 out of 10 voters they were energized about this primary so there is a lot to consider. >> the goal is to carry that excitement into the general election. thank you for joining us. >> sportscaster erin andrews is

8:44 am
8:45 am
>> new information, erin andrews settled her court case ending what could have been years of appeals. the tv host reaching a deal with the two hotel companies that were partly to blame for a stocker posting a secretly recorded nude video of her on the internet and appealed a ruling which would have awarded andrews $55 million. joining us is greg jarrett, thank you for joining us. >> good to be here.
8:46 am
>> is this unusual for something to be reached following the verdict? >> whenever there is a big judgment they try to hammer out a compromise because the defense says i will tie this up for a decade on appeals and you won't get your money for a long time. erin andrews sits there and goes i could get $.50 on the dollar now and a new trial is ordered, do i want to go through it all over again? i could lose, she has great incentive to settle the case. >> the hotels were only to pay half of the $55 million settlement. >> this is the key to the settlement because under current law erin andrews is out of luck for half of the judgment because the peeping tom, 51% liable, he is absolutely -- he doesn't have two bits to rub together, she is out of luck except for a huge exception. when the incident happened in
8:47 am
2008 the law in tennessee where the trial took place was different and under that law she can recover the entire $55 million judgment from any defendant she chooses. the joint in several liability so the plaintiff erin andrews is threatening to go to the judge and issue an order that i can get all $55 million from the defendant. >> with the settlement reached -- >> it is hard to know. there is a huge incentive, they don't want to get nailed for all $55 million so both sides have incentives. what did they settle? we will never know. nondisclosure agreement, $.50 on the dollar, $.40 on the dollar, pretty good money. >> let's move onto something that happened today, johnny mandel has been indicted and is a domestic violence case, the grand jury indicting the embattled athlete on a
8:48 am
misdemeanor assault charge, attacked his ex-girlfriend, it was so violent allegedly she lost her hearing temporarily. are you surprised he was only charged with a single misdemeanor? >> misdemeanor assault. his moniker ought to be johnny lucky and not johnny football. he is lucky he didn't get nailed for multiple felonies like aggravated assault, kidnapping and threatening to kill. he could be behind bars for 20 years upon conviction because when you look at her affidavit it is a chilling story, sworn affidavit that he hit her in the head, rupturing her eardrum, loss of hearing, dragged her by her hair, held her against her will, then in a car, and threatened to murder her and
8:49 am
kill himself. he is johnny lucky. not johnny football. >> even if she doesn't agree to testify against him? >> that was probably the reason for the misdemeanor because she is an uncooperative reluctant witness but being forced to testify, prosecutors can issue a subpoena, put her on the witness stand and if she doesn't answer the question she could be held in contempt and jailed and the body camera video the police officer reporting at the scene had a body camera on, interviewed her, the conversation is hearsay but is admissible hearsay called spontaneous declaration, there are other witnesses so the evidence is pretty strong. stuart: body camera, - cams. allegedly they reached a financial settlement. how will that impact the criminal case? >> it does not impact the criminal case. he compensated her for her
8:50 am
injuries, nondisclosure agreements similar to erin andrews. she is not allowed to talk about it. that is a valid enforcement contract except in a criminal case in a court of law because we don't allow defendants to obstruct justice by buying the silence of the defendant to a valid contract except when she gets on the witness stand she has to talk about it even though she promised she wouldn't. stuart: two very interesting cases, thank you. greg jarrett joining us, appreciate it. john: new information on brutal shooting deaths, they are looking at whether mexican drug cartels are involved, what they found that could point in that direction.
