one viewer says this, men's room, ladies' room, obama room. nancy says obama has gone too far threatening to withdraw federal money. tons of comments coming in today. have a great friday, i'm gretchen. stop asking about donald trump's taxes, will you? that's the message from the likely gop nominee who really went off in an interview today. he says the rate he pays is none of your business. also, new today, how donald trump responds to talk that he is backtracking on his muslim immigration ban. then on the dem's side. new polls for bernie sanders to quit the race and clear the way for hillary clinton. sanders says he can still win the nomination. does his math make sense? loads of politics, it all begins right now.

hello, everyone. donald trump says his tax rate is nobody's business. and american voters do not have a right to see his tax returns before the election. he made those comments today in an interview with abc news. >> frankly, our country doesn't know what they're doing with our money or tax money. that's part of the problem. so i fight very hard to pay as little tax as possible. >> what is your tax rate? >> it's none ofio your busines. i fight very hard to pay as little tax as possible. >> the presumptive republican nominee still says he will release his tax returns as soon as the government finishes a routine audit. more on that later. he hopes that might be some time before the november election. the billionaire says americans won't learn anything from his returns. but critics have been blasting him for refusing to release them. donald trump also today denied that he is softening his stance on banning foreign muslims from entering the united states. but he also called it, well,

kind of a suggestion. and said he is always flexible on issues. >> anything i say right now -- i'm not the president. everything i say is a suggestion. i feel strongly we have to do something about when you look at radical islamic terrorism we have a president that as you folks know very well, we have a president who won't use the term. >> everything's a suggestion. and trump has also scheduled his first fundraiser, set for may 25th in los angeles at the home of real estate developer. trump estimates he spent $50 million of his own money on his primary campaign. a general election fight, well that could cost a billion dollars, maybe more. the associated press reports that trump is close to signing a deal with a gop to let him ask supporters for donation of more than $300,000. he's been beefing up his staff. fox news confirming he has

chosen north dakota congressman kevin cramer. he says global warm associatini fraudulent idea. john roberts joins us on the news deck. what's the thinking on whether the tax return thing could hurt trump? >> that's the interesting thing about donald trump is that even on a down day there is so much to talk about. greg, what he's doing really is he's handing his opposition more ammunition against him. the clinton campaign is going at him hard on this thing. for trump to come out and say there's nothing to learn from my tax return giciis not true. you can learn a lot which is one of the reasons mitt romney didn't want to release his. you can find out how much is investment income, your extent of charitable giving. it's not just the clinton campaign that's after donald trump on taxes. mitt romney himself, again, about three days ago came out

and said there could be bomb shell in the taxes. what's donald trump trying to hide? the thing that donald trump has going for him on this issue is his supporters don't care about it. he needs more than his core supporters if he wants to become president of the united states in the election in november. another area where trump runs afoul of the conservative party, is the issue of transgender bathrooms. he came out in opposition oo the north carolina law. he was asked about the letter that the obama administration is sending to school districts across the country on the issue of transgender bathrooms. >> i think it's much better as a local issue. i think it's a federal issue where the federal government gets involved. i see what's happening, it's become such a big situation. everybody has to be protected. and i feel strongly about that. you're talking about a tiny, tiny group of population with that being said, everybody has to be protected. i would leave it up to the states. >> on the one hand he runs afoul

of conservatives by saying it's too expensive to do it any other way, then says it's a state's issue. which conservatives love. >> we'll be talking about tit with a legal analyst a bit later. talk to us about this audio recording that has now surfaced. 25 years old. kind of sounds like -- not kind of, it sounds like donald trump. >> it does, this is what happens, greg, when a newspaper like "the washington post" assigns 20 reporters to come up with everything they can on the guy who looks like he's going to be the republican nominee. this is from 1991. it's an audio tape of a re guy who says his name is john miller and a people magazine reporter they're talking about donald trump and marla maples. donald trump sounds an awful like john miller, but, here, we'll play it, you decide. >> what's your name again? >> john miller. >> you work with -- >> that's correct.

>> what kind of comment is coming from your agency? >> well, it's just that he really decided that he wasn't, you know -- he didn't want to make a commitment. he really thought it was too soon. he's coming out of a marriage. >> now, don't forget the voice is 25 years younger, but the cadence and inflection points on many of the words are the same as we hear donald trump today. in 1991 marla maples confirmed that that was the deed donald trump. it was on the audio tape. and that he had just engaged in a joke she said went too far. but this morning when asked about it, donald trump insisted no, that's not me. >> it's not me on the phone. it was not me on the phone. and it doesn't sound like me on the phone. i will tell you that. it was not me on the phone. and when was this, 25 years ago? >> so he says it wasn't him on the phone. it wasn't 25 years ago. marla maples says it was him on the phone. the question you have

is, if he knew it was him, now he would be on record as lying about it. 25 years later. why is the presidential candidate do you want to do that? >> it may matter to some people, other people may say it doesn't matter. >> expect more of that. 20 reporters digging up all this stuff. >> i wonder how much of that was prompted by president obama's remarks you need to really dig in to the candidates. >> as if they needed an excuse. >> no kidding. all right. in dallas this weekend, the gop convention for texas and ted cruz is going to be there. >> he is. he's going to be speaking tomorrow afternoon. divvying up the 155 delegates that texas will award and send to the national convention on july 18th. ted cruz won 104 of those. donald trump got about 48. ted cruz is going to try to put as many of his supporters in the delegation as he can. i have it on good authority when he speaks tomorrow even though

governor greg abbot called for him to get behind donald trump. you won't hear similar language from ted cruz. abbot did not mention trump by name. he encouraged people to get behind the republican nominee. the reason for cruz is he doesn't want to mention donald trump's name. he'll run again in 2020 if trump loses. >> he may run again in 2020 even if he wins. >> that's right. all right. john roberts good to see you. let's bring in chris wallace. several things to ask you about. we played the clip a moment ago, donald trump kind of became unglued when he was asked about releasing his taxes. there's nothing about an audit that prevents him from releasing his tax forms, nixon did it in '73. i wonder how much will hurt him down the road. it gives the presumptive democratic nominee something to hammer him over.

>> if there's one person in american politics that's not going to be able to hit donald trump on transparency in hillary clinton. hillary clinton has refused to release the transcript of her $225,000 speeches to goldman sachs. she decided not to release and supposedly destroyed 30,000 e-mails she said were private. of course had a private e-mail server in the first place. this gives her something to try to blunt trump's attacks on her she was going to deliver anyway. she certainly can't go after him on the transparency issue. maybe they fight to a draw on this. >> i want to ask you about the comment that donald trump made that some people are saying it's a flip-flop. back tracking. he now says his muslim ban is just a suggestion. he went further and said everything's a suggestion. to folks who care deeply about consistency, does this -- will

this bother them? they'll say, well, this is more than just an amendment. it's an outright change? >> no, i think that it's a legitimate issue. and a concern for voters. and it's not just on this. certainly when -- we all remember so explosively after the attacks in san bernardino and paris, when trump came out and i remember reading it in a statement saying that he was calling for ban, it was not i'm suggesting a ban he was calling for the ban. he's also flipped on the minimum wage. there was a time back during a fox business network debate in november he said we can't afford to increase the minimum wage because it will price us out of the international market. he's for an increase in the minimum wage. and there have been some inconsistencies in where he is on his proposal to cut taxes dramatically. across the income spectrum but including for the wealthiest americans.

so, i mean, he has flipped on those issues. that's obviously a concern. it's probably a concern when you talk about the meeting up here on capitol hill, yesterday, between donald trump and the speaker ryan and a number of other top republicans they're talking about trying to come to some accommodation. the concern, i think, one of the concerns is can you trust that what he says today is what he's going to say tomorrow. maybe he'll switch on that. >> here's another one, you know, for the longest period of time almost at every campaign stop, he would promise the supporters there as president i'll be beholden to nobody because i'm self-funding. all of a sudden, he's throwing that out the window. he is, in fact, going to be doing some substantial fund raising. so, again, does he lose a bit of credibility on that one as well? >> yeah, but i don't know that's as serious as the others. frankly, it's a different situation. i mean, not to say that he

didn't stick by a principle he was going to be beholden to no one and called the people who were accepting money from big donors puppets. those are his words. it's almost impossible -- i don't doubt he's liquid enough, even donald trump. he needs a billion dollars plus to run a general election campaign. he's hundreds of million dollars behind hillary clinton already. he needs to raise a lot of money in a hurry. and, you know, i think the only way he could do that is by getting donations from a variety of sources and combining his resources with the republican party. maybe it was convenient politically to say that in the primaries and inconvenient in a realistic sense to hold to that when he got to a general election. it's a flip on his part. >> chris wallace, great to see you and thanks so much. we look forward to your program this weekend. which i'm going to promote right now, this weekend "fox news sunday." chris is going to be talking to

republican national committee chairman reince priebus who was in the room between donald trump and paul ryan. also newt gingrich a trump supporter who said he'd love to be his running mate. and and texas congressman who is refusing to support trump. that's this sunday. check your tv listings for that. bernie sanders says forget what anybody else says he can still win the nomination. some democratic leaders who support hillary clinton say he's hurting the party's chances of defeating donald trump by sticking around. we'll talk about it next. nothing unleashes power... quite like the human foot.

country stumping for our nominee. we are in good shape. we're on track. and i will tell you that i'm quite confident about where we are in our campaign. >> sanders promising to keep fighting until the convention. he insists he can still win the nomination by getting clinton's superdelegates to switch sides. mike emanuel live in washington. how has sanders handles these calls, you know, to get out and folks saying he has no shot? >> greg, he seems to be ignoring them bernie sanders fighting to the finish. campaigning in june 7th primary states out west. he's about to hold a rally, and an earlier stop in grand forks, north dakota he continues to ask his supporters to believe he can get it done. he's talked about winning in november. >> i'm not here to say that hillary clinton can't defeat donald trump. i absolutely believe that she can. but i believe quite honestly that bernie sanders is the stronger candidate. >> sanders is still aggressively campaigning and is expected to

return to kentucky for a two day swing before tuesday's primary. greg? >> i love it when people refer to themselves in the third person. when does hillary clinton return to the campaign trail? >> hillary clinton is expected back in kentucky on sunday. and monday a real showdown this week. clinton made stops in lexington and louisville this week. her campaign is also running some tv advertising. her husband, former president bill clinton is campaigning for her in new jersey today. he took a swipe at sanders and donald trump while praising his wife. >> she's the only candidate left in the race in the primary or the general that's actually got a record of getting things done with members of the other party. >> the clinton campaign eager to shift to the general election. first she wants to drive turn out in the blue grass state. >> thanks. more ahead on the democrats. we'll be talking to a correspondent covering the 2016 campaign about whether bernie

sanders really can pull off a huge comeback. or if he's doing donald trump a favor by staying in the race. this is joanne. her long day as a hair stylist starts with shoulder pain when... hey joanne, want to trade the all day relief of 2 aleve with 6 tylenol? give up my 2 aleve for 6 tylenol? no thanks. for me... it's aleve.

conceded. >> right, it certainly complicates the argument for her. she can't make it cleanly. she can't say once the math is in her favor in the front runner's favor the challenger should get out. that's not what she did in 2008. increasingly what the problem is for clinton and for democrats who support her isn't simply the idea that sanders is staying in the race. it's that he continues to make the argument he's the better democratic candidate to compete against donald trump in the fall. he continues to try to take shots at her undermine her candidacy. and it's all happening at a time when she still has to fight this two front campaign. both fending off sanders, trying to push back against him but also really trying to turn her attention toward november. >> well, you know, increasingly, the things that he quite critical of hillary clinton just two days ago. his campaign said that nominating clinton is quote,

courting disaster. i mean, boy, that is something that is certainly republicans can use as well against her. >> absolutely. and one of the difficulties for clinton here is that she will need sanders' supporters. if he continues to stoke their anti-clinton sentiment, it could make it harder for her to bring them into the fold in november. so, again, they don't necessarily mind him being in the race. they look for any sign he has an understanding of where the math is and what the reality of the situation is. and then maybe will back down. even when we think that maybe that's happening, when we see an inkling of that in a speech or interview he very quickly reverts back to the tough criticisms of her. >> as long as sanders is in, of course, president obama, vice president joe biden who would be powerful advocates on the campaign trail on behalf of hillary clinton, they're sidelined, right? >> absolutely. and you can almost feel

especially with president obama him just itching to get out there. he has been pushing back on donald trump in his capacity as president. but he can't proactively right now make the case for hillary clinton without looking as though he is getting ahead of the voting -- democratic voting process. looking as though he's essentially ignoring bernie sanders' supporters. vice president joe biden has bit a bit more forward leaning on this. hillary can't get them on the trail for her. she can't have them out there making the case robustly while the democratic primary is still happening. >> sanders has won 19 states, which is nothing to sneeze at. and since march first, he has won a majority of the delegates. if he wins the final ten states, let's say it's a sweep, some are proportional delegates. there is a conceivable way that, you know, he could actually make huge gains on hillary clinton's lead in terms of the delegates.

and then could he go to the superdelegates and say, wait a minute, look at the polling data. i'm a better candidate against donald trump and hillary clinton. second of all, you guys clearly have buyer's remorse. and, third, she's got some problems. the fbi primary as it's being called. >> well, that really is his only option at this point. it's almost impossible i think mathematically it is impossible for him to overtake her in the pledge delegate count between now and the california primary on june 7th. he'll need the super delegates to flip to come on to his side. he does have some arguments he is making to the super delegates. one of the things i've heard from super delegates that is a knock on him. he's been unable in the process of the primary to prove he has really any appeal with black voters. who are a huge part of the democratic constituency. important that black voters show up in large numbers in the general election for democrats. and so he may say, you know, you

can look at these polls that show me performing better. it's hard for him to show super delegates he has the coalition that could beat donald trump in the fall. >> julie pace, white house correspondent, associated press, great to see you, thank you. you have probably heard the predictions of long lines this summer at airports all over the country as security screeners struggle to keep up. but would the proposed solution to this huge mess still keep passengers safe? plus, funeral for an american hero killed fighting isis terrorists in iraq. a navy s.e.a.l. laid the rest coming up. ed. and you work hard to keep it that way. ♪ sometimes, maybe too hard. get claimrateguard® from allstate. it helps keep your homeowners' rate from going up just because of a claim. call an allstate agent first. 888-429-5722.

times and still keep us safe. lawmakers yesterday questioned vigorously the tsa administrator peter neffenger on capitol hill and called for serious improvements in the agency. just last night as chicago's midway airport passengers said they waited more than an hour to get through security. the line reportedly reaching all the way to a transit train stop about a quarter of a mile from the tsa checkpoint. airport officials across the country have threatened to switch from tsa to private security operators if the feds don't start doing something to solve the long waits. peter doocy live at reagan national airport just outside washington. peter, the tsa claims they're more concerned about keeping travellers safe than they are about wait times. how is this going to work? >> well, the secretary of homeland security, jeh johnson was clear. they are not concerned from a security standpoint about these waits. he came here to reagan national

airport earlier this afternoon and said, yes, a three hour wait in a security line, not ideal if your flight is going to be 90 minutes long. they have no interest at dhs in sacrificing security to speed things up. part of the reason for that is because they've seen what terrorists try to do at airports abroad. >> local authorities, private security and the like are also looking at airport security. that's something we've been focused on since the recent events, brussels, others, and so with local law enforcement we've been partnering to focus on airport security as well. >> and believe it or not the 2016 race is partially to blame for the problems with the tsa right now. something we've noticed some of the very large rallies trump rallies, sanders rallies across the country. attendees are being checked in and screened at arenas and

stadiums and open spaces by tsa agents. johnson told me today that having those agents away from the airport is contributing to these problems. he said, really it's not going to get better until campaign season is over. >> all right. what is in this so-called new plan? >> there is ten points. some of the highlights they're allowed to maximize overtime. they'll bring in new k-9's and expediting the hiring of 800 new screeners. that's way less than the 4,300 workers they let go. one bright spot, they said yesterday for the first time ever they got 10,000 people to sign up for precheck in one day. that is a record for them. >> well, i'm not buying johnson's explanation, they're excused. it's man power, federal

organization he's not doing it. peter doocy e thanks very much. more than 3,000 bags missed their flights in phoenix because of a tsa security problem. and take a look, here they are lined up in the parking lot yesterday at sky harbor airport. a spokesperson for the airport said tsa had a technical issue with the computer server that screens luggage for explosives. they had to send the bags to other airports that could screen them and send them on to their final destinations. tsa reports the screening system at sky harbor is up and working again. the u.s. airport is missing something important these days, we're talking about war planes. the pilots who fly them. that according to a fox news investigation. they found many of the planes are simply falling apart and there aren't enough people to fix them. also, the air force is having a tough time keeping pilots on the job. national security correspondent jennifer griffin got a first hand look at those problems. jennifer, what did you find? >> greg, we visited the b-1

bomber squadron in south dakota this week and found a shocking amount of wear and tear on the force. out of 20 bombers there, only nine could fly. pilots are doing admin work because the civilians who used to do it were fired under recent budget cuts. even though the b-1 is central in the fight against isis. >> the first jet i worked on 20 years ago it a 1,000 flight hours on it. now we're looking at some of the airports that are pushing over 10,000 flight hours. it's not only the personnel that are tired, it's the aircraft that's tired. >> we are deployed over and over again and you work as hard as you can work to get these thing in the air the airmen are starting to get burnt out. >> we visited an f-16 squadron in south carolina. when they arrived in the middle east the f-16th were missing 41 parts. >> i'm almost afraid to ask this

next question, what are they doing when they're short of parts? >> well, they go to the desert in arizona where the air force has a grave yard for all the war planes that are no longer flying. it's called the bone yard. they strip the old planes of parts. the problem some of those air frames are stripped bare and they aren't making anymore. planes like the b-1 are more than 30 years old. this b-1 unit had had to canbleize museum pieces. >> we pulled it off of six other museum jets throughout the u.s. >> this piece here came from somewhere in here. >> tells you what direction your wheels are going. >> you can't steer without this and you had to go to museum aircrafts that had been moth-balled in order to get planes fighting?

>> yes, ma'am. >> budget cuts have left them short 4,000 maintainers. they're down 7,000 pilots who are being poached by airlines. jennifer, thanks. just in fto fox a funeral fr a u.s. navy s.e.a.l. killed earlier this month. charles keating's fellow s.e.a.l.s came to pay their respects. he's the third service men to die since october. more than a thousand people gathering yesterday. at the ceremony the navy awarding him a silver star. trace gallagher live with more. trace, this kind of public procession is rare for navy s.e.a.l.s? it is, because as a rule the

s.e.a.l.s have long been this very secretive group and become very private people who often choose to mourn in private. so this kind of tribute on coronado island home of s.e.a.l. team one is a very uncommon thing. make no mistake the memorial involves the entire community. the public will pay their respects to charles keating as his cortege makes its way to the naval air station. the firefighters and life guards will pay tribute by posting colors on a fire truck ladder above the procession route. his body will be taken across the coronado san diego bridge. his family says instead of arlington cemetery he wanted to buried as close to the base as possible so he could be near his s.e.a.l. team one. >> keating's dad had touching words during the memorial yesterday. tell us about that. >> yeah. very emotional. charles keating, iii said he

heard about his u.s. service member dead in iraq, but then he never dreamed it was his son until he looked as his phone and saw he had two missed calls from his other son, billy. the father said his knees buckles and the first thought that came into my mind was that charlie is going to be pissed at me for being so dramatic. he said charlie relished his mission against the sick evil that preys on woman, children and the underprivileged in some corners of the world. charles keating iii ended by saying we cannot buckle we must stand up and take the fight straight back out. charles keating iv the third servicemember to die in iraq. >> we salute another fallen hero. thanks very much, trace. lieutenant governor of texas is accusing president obama of blackmail. that's as the white house tells

(vo) linzess works differently from laxatives. linzess treats adults with ibs with constipation, or chronic constipation. it can help relieve your belly pain, and lets you have more frequent and complete bowel movements that are easier to pass. do not give linzess to children under 6 and it should not be given to children 6 to 17. it may harm them. don't take linzess if you have a bowel blockage. get immediate help if you develop unusual or severe stomach pain, especially with bloody or black stools. the most common side effect is diarrhea, sometimes severe. if it's severe stop taking linzess and call your doctor right away. other side effects include gas, stomach-area pain and swelling. talk to your doctor about managing your symptoms proactively with linzess.

the department which is not really ruling. it's not law. >> there is one sentence here that says it all. this is the operative sentence, we'll put it up on the screen. the guidance explains when students or their parents as appropriate notify a school that a student is transgender the school must treat the student consistent with a student's gender identity. so in other words, you don't have a choice. >> no. >> not only that, then there's a reminder, by the way, we're going to pull your funding if you don't do it. >> of course the school will lose funding. >> they can't do that. >> you've seen in it chicago, oregon where they're changing these guidelines of all of the schools so -- because the schools are concerned and rightly so, that if they don't change their policies in their schools that exactly this is going to happen. they will lose federal funding. we see it in north carolina -- >> yeah -- >> $861 million in north carolina if they don't change. >> three years ago in the obama

medicaid case. supreme court said the federal government cannot force states to act against their will by withholding funding in a coercive manner. the obama administration is defying the supreme court dictate with this directive. >> we'll see this go to the supreme court. don't you think? every legal analyst in the country will tell you, myself included this will go to the supreme court. >> the supreme court will say president obama what are you doing defying our ruling now. >> but the timing is so interesting, isn't it? we are in may. right? this is not going to be taken up with the supreme court until at least october. we've got eight sitting justices. october. it's not going to be decided until next year. >> what jumped out on me is on the first page. gender identity is protected under title ix. no, it's not. no court has ever said it has. >> yes, it did. >> no. no. >> no, i disagree. i think -- >> what court? >> fourth district.

a man who police say bought a bikini and a girl's nightgown is now behind bars. he's charged with kidnapping his own niece. 9-year-old carlie trent has been missing for more than a week. officials say she's alive and safe after a dramatic rescue by two men yesterday. according to the tennessee bureau of investigation, the men found carlie in a remote area in the northeastern part of the state. investigators say they're trying to figure out why this guy, gary simpson, disappeared with his niece after signing her out of school earlier this month. carlie's father says simpson was obsessed with his daughter. jonathan sirry is live in our southeast newsroom. was this just good luck or did searchers know where to look? >> well, it's a combination of good police work and a great community. law enforcement, essentially, crowd sourced the foot search. they called on everyday hawkins county residents, calling on them to look around their farms, look around their property.

the men who found carlie and her uncle were doing just that. searching a rugged hilltop path, only accessible by four-wheel drive and that's where they spotted carlie and her uncle, gary simpson, in a barn. zbll we were down by this area before, but it didn't seem like there were any tracks. but we thought we better check it anyhow. >> something just kept telling us to come back to the valley. and i think i know what that something was. that's why i wear this shirt. >> and one of the volunteer searchers held the uncle at gunpoint until police arrived. he gave himself up without incident. as for carlie, she was taken to a local hospital, just as a precaution. and everyone from the sheriff to family friends say the girl is doing just fine. >> happy ending on this one. jonathan, thanks. we'll be back in just a moment with a look at a landmark moment for one of the biggest music

stars on the planet. it happened on this day in history.
