sit wednesday, may 18th and the battle in the blue grass states too close to call. >> good morning. that's right. kentucky turning out to be a real run. clinton just slightly ahead. >> bernie sanders vowing he's not going anywhere any time soon after a big win in oregon and donald trump taking one step closer to the nomination. he now has 1,160 delegates. just 77 shy of the magic number. >> hillary clinton now with 20 2 thousand 291.

>> mike is live for us from louisville kentucky. gor good morning, mike. >> good morning. late last night the secretary of state here chimed in and declared clinton the unofficial winner of this race but if hillary clinton was looking for the decisive win to show she could break up sanders momentum and she was the choice for democrats she didn't get it. let's go to the race board and you can see less than half a percentage point separates her right now. those are rounded numbers. she said we just won kentucky. thanks to everyone that turned out. we're always stronger united and the fact is the democrats are not united. they were split here in kentucky. a decisive win in oregon last night. he made it clear last night that clinton was not going to shake

him before the convention. >> let me be as clear as i can be. i agree with you, we are in until the last ballot is passed. we're going to continue to fight for every last vote until june 14th and then we're going to take our fight into the convention. >> as he does, donald trump weighed in over twitter criticizing the lack of a decisive victory saying do you think crooked hilary will finally close the deal? she should drop out of the race. system rigged. >> clinton's comments in march seemed to have an impact here in kentucky. sanders cleaned up in the parts of the state where cole is king. clinton did better in lexington and louisville. this is where the clintons historically has done rather well. the delegates roughly split now.

there's five super delegates here in kentucky. two of them are undeclared and one super delegate has not been named yet. back to you in new york. >> thank you, mike. presumptive republican nominee donald trump had a rough ride when it comes to women voters some say. a group that could decide the 2016 election. while republican women warmed up to trump he'll need to do better in the general election than romney did four years ago. how can he do it? here to weigh in is republican tr strategist and former communications analyst. thank you for joining us so early. >> my pleasure. >> we appreciate it. i will start with you. what can donald trump do? >> talk about the issues. we want an explanation.

we don't want an i can do it. i've done it. trust in me. tell us about your policy because hilary is ready for him in the debate process she is great at what she does in articulating policy. >> but will articulating policy be what it will need to win over voters or can he do it with his personality. >> i agree that he does have to focus on the economy an national security and immigration and foreign policy. he brings fresh ideas to each of the topics and more. over 30 years she is bringing nothing new to the table. people are so tired of her. >> donald trump is going to differentiate himself and he'll run circles around her because he's able to be off the cuff.

>> women gave barrack obama 2008. it was women that helped republicans win in 2010. he needs to not take the bait and not pay attention to the commercials. it's very very ugly and we don't need to look at them. we need to look at the issues. >> on that note we'll talk about this other topic and that is that it is on. pro hilary super pacts are coming out swinging and attacking trump in the first general election ad. listen to this one. >> you could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her where ever. does she have a good body, no. if ivanka weren't my daughter perhaps i'd be dating her. >> a woman that's flat chested is very hard to be a ten. >> you can tell them to go [ bleep ] themselves.

>> does donald trump really speak for you? >> i will say on twitter, we have been talking about that a lot, that ad did not get a very good response. what do you think? >> it's an absolute flop so it's already been tried and failed. coming up with nothing new. nothing imaginative. just recycling the old ad that already failed against donald trump. you can pull out anybody's context out of context and it sounds terrible. hillary clinton said a lot of stupid things over her career that will be coming out. what donald trump needs to do is focus on the issues and focus on the economy. that's not just women but women with, men, people of all races and backgrounds. >> exactly. the bottom line is all politics won't work. we have a wakened america and i

thank donald trump and bernie sanders for that. so that commercial she just ran, it doesn't work anymore. >> and she never really won a contested election. now she is failing and she failed in '08 against obama and she is failing once again because she is not able to. >> in terms of bernie sanders you mentioned him. he does well with young women pull over and win the voters in. >> i think she has lost those voters. women and what we go through and what she dealt with as a wife i think women are going to judge her on that. especially younger women. the millennials are more liberated and independent. >> she's not relating to those folks. her experiences are bad in terms of relating to those people but

beyond that she's not able to reach that populous. they're energized by bernie sanders and turned off by her. so we have a really good opportunity to reach millennial women and men as well and get them energized by the movement. >> he's going to have to tone down the rhetoric because she may be able to sway those voters if he cannot debate on the issues. time to talk about policy. >> that's happening already. >> let's look at the new national poll with hilary with a slim lead over trump. what does he need to do overall? where should he focus? >> i don't think that's a weakness because three or four months ago she was way ahead of him. trump needs to work on those democrats, those ronald reagan democrats. he needs to go after those and go into those diversity districts. if he goes into the black

churches and talks about what he'll do to create jobs, people will vote for him. >> ohio, pennsylvania, a poll came out that he's leading or tied in each of those. michigan and new york and california. >> nevada another one. >> bernie sanders does well in california and california will be a troubling date. >> that poll had hillary clinton ahead with women by 19 points but trump ahead by 21 points among men. she'll have to make up that difference. >> i think that donald trump's daughters would be great surrogates and his wife, great surrogates to bring more women. >> we're not letting you go.

we have two hours to go so we'll bring you back. thank you very much. >> thanks. >> two hours to go. the time is ten minutes after the hour. speaking of women it's the interview that everyone is talking about this morning. megyn kelly one-on-one with donald trump. >> the comment about john mccain. the comment about carly fiorina's face. do you regret any of those comments? >> trump's response you'll only see here on fox.

sit the interview that everyone is talking about. the sper view covered a wide range of topics starting with

the infamous moment nine months ago. >> good relationship. >> and then came the august 6th, 2016 debate and i asked you a tough question about women using only the words that you had used. i thought it was a fair question. why didn't you? >> i thought it was unfair. first of all i didn't hi it was a question. i thought it was more of a statement. i don't blame you because you're doing your thing but from my standpoint i don't have to like it. >> you seemed to stay angry for months. was that real or was that strategy? >> i'm a real person. i have great respect for you that you were able to call me and say let's get together and let's talk. for me, i would not have done that. >> have you made any mistakes in this campaign? you said publicly the retweet about heidi cruz was a mistake. john mccain, the comment about carly fiorina's face but do you

regret any of those comments? >> i guess so. but you make a mistake and you go forward. i will say this, if i don't go all the way and if i don't win i will consider it to be a total and complete waste of time energy and money. >> he's been saying that since iowa. after the interview trump tweeted well that is it. well done mefyn and they all lived happily ever after. >> my husband who i'll put in charge of revitalizing the economy because, you know, he knows how to do it and especially in places like coal countries and inner cities and other parts of our country that have really been left out. >> well you heard it there. hillary clinton is finally defining her husband's role as mr. fix it for the economy if he becomes president. but is it a good or bad idea? let's ask the author of who

needs the fed? good morning to you. thank you for being with us. >> good morning. >> so you heard it there. hillary clinton saying she would like her husband to be in charge of revitalizing the economy. bill clinton came out a few days ago and said this is actually my idea. is it what voters are wanting and is it even legally possible. >> there's no insight to why she wanted to do this. her husband oversaw a largely successful economic presidency and she wants to piggy back on it. the obvious problem beyond the constitutional implications of her handing over the presidency to her husband is that none of the policy ideas have anything to do with the ideas that bill clinton promoted. he signed a major capital gain tax in the law. bill clinton signed a free trade agreement that expanded markets for u.s. companies and hillary clinton wanted to slow those

down. hillary clinton wants to expand the tax as government. their policies are new orleans way aligned. >> here's what he tweeted after that. how can crooked hilary put her husband in charge of the economy when he was responsible for the worst economic deal in u. s. history and those that know about the deal, this is something that republicans were on board with as well including george h.w. bush and newt gingrich. is that a fair criticism? >> it's not a fair criticism at all. my guess is donald trump doesn't know what was in nafta. the u.s. is already an open market to foreign goods. that's what rich country dos. they take in the world's plenty. with a trade agreement dos is open up foreign markets to u.s. producers. it's about opening up canada and mexico to all the production that takes place in the u.s. and free trade agreements. that's something good that bill

clintondy. >> the time around, we see the economy is front and center. walk us through how we should be thinking about hilary's economic plan and donald trump's economic plan. how would our lives be different under each? >> what should concern hilary voters is she is talking about raising the capital gains rate. she wants to raise the penalty placed on investment that high. there's no companies or jobs without investment first so her main economic proposal would have a dampening effects on jobs. that's the big negative for her. if terms of donald trump most of us can't make the food we eat, we can't make the clothes we wear or the cars we drive and computers we type on. that's why free trade is so enriching. it allows us to focus on with a we're good at. trump made it very clear he wants to reduce the open lanes of trade that made the americans

so rich. that's a big concern. he's better than hilary on taxes but watch out on trade. >> we'll be hearing more about that on months to come. >> well time now is 18 minutes after the top of the hour and face to face, mark zuckerberg in the hot seat over alleged liberal bias on facebook. we're live with what is expected and whom he will meet with today. snnd ♪

♪ >> good morning. 4:23 in the morning here on the east coast. >> i love this song. by the way. this will get you up. >> a little early for us. getting face time with book. mark zuckerberg is about to meet with conservatives amid out rage that a social media site blocks conservative news. what we can expect here. good morning. >> good morning. mark zuckerberg said he wants to have a direct conversation today about what facebook stands for and how to ensure it stays as open as possible. he'll also be answering plenty of questions about allegations that conservative news was deliberately suppressed on

facebook's trending section. the social media giant says there's no evidence that former contractors at the social network proventing conservative topics from appearing on the list. this face to face meeting will allow him to hear directly from conservatives and help address their concerns. one of those attempting today was dana that share what is she expects to hear in that meeting. >> this troubling support about suppressing conservative news points and news stories. it's one it's not in their entry interest and they're taking it serious. it's fairly solvable and they haven't found evidence of the problem and they're willing to try to solve it. >> not every conservative with his intentions behind the

meeting are sincere. he will not be attending and he called the meeting a little more than a pr stunt. >> we're reasonable people and willing to work with them and try to figure out what is going on here but i don't want to be a prop in a meeting. >> and she will let us know exactly what went on inside the meeting when it gets out later today. >> she's not the only one attending. who else is attending the meeting? >> we don't know how many in total were invited but according to reuters citing a facebook spokesperson 12 conservative leaders will be attending the meeting. american enterprise institution brooks and zach moffet as well as donald trump advisor barry benne bennett. >> what question dos they want to ask him? >> is there anything that's true

about these reports that came out? how did this process w. he said over the last week that it keeps a very close eye on the curators is with a they call him. they had algorithm and how different topics show up on the trending page. they look at the topics so make sure that they're actual news topics and then they decide whether or not they post. facebook says we keep a close eye on these folks but a lot of those attending the meeting want to really make sure that that is happening because according to this report it was not. >> all right. getting some answers. >> i'd love to be a fly on that wall. >> the time now is 26 minutes after the top of the hour and bernie sanders with 21 primary wince under his belt. if hillary clinton keeps losing, how is she winning? >> our response to that.

>> it is wednesday may 18th and the battle in the bluegrass state is still too close to call. >> nice to be with you and everyone here at home. kentucky turning out to be a run for the roses with clinton slightly ahead. >> and sanders vowing to stay in the race after winning oregon and donald trump taking one step closer to securing the nomination. he has 1,160 delegates. just 77 shy of the magic number. >> hilary with 2,291 and bernie sanders with 1,528. so let's get the latest for jonathan live for us in portland, oregon.

>> good morning. >> good morning to both of you. it was quite the night here in oregon on the democratic side of this presidential race. bernie sanders racking up a comfortable victory as you can see from the numbers over hillary clinton. not quite the 70% plus that some supporters predicted from him but certainly a comfortable enough win. mr. sanders himself was at a rally in california ahead of that state's june 7th primary as the results here in oregon came through and he said that he is in this race until the bitter end. and it may well be bitter the way the democrats are headed. listen here to bernie sanders. >> let me be as clear as i can be, i agree with you. we are in until the last ballot is passed. we're going to continue to fight for every last vote until june 14th and then we're going to take our fight into the

convention. >> now in the other primary from yesterday, kentucky, hillary clinton has a razor thin lead right now over bernie sanders. almost all the votes are counted but not quite. nonetheless, hillary clinton claimed victory and tweeted, quote, we just won kentucky. thanks to everyone that turned out. we're always stronger united. it was only one primary here in oregon on the republican side. donald trump won that with 66.8% of the vote. he then immediately turned his twitter attention to hillary clinton tweeting out do you think crooked hilary will finally close the deal? if she can't win kentucky she should drop out of race. system rigged. and it's worth noting a couple of weeks ago he we were all talking about the chaos that was coming at the republican convention. the possibility of a contested convention. now it seems that the

republicans will be far more settled at their convention than the democrats. hilary still looks like she will win the nomination but clearly if bernie sanders goes in on the back of a run up victory including the delegate rich state of california on june 7th then that convention and his supporters are going to be in deed. >> thank you so much. well bernie sanders, speaking of hill and his followers, taking home another win. they're in oregon and right on hilary's heels in kentucky. so if hilary keeps losing, why is she winning? thank you both for joining us early this morning. >> good morning. >> are either one of you surprised what happened yesterday at this point? kentucky still not officially being called by the associated press and bernie sanders taking

home a win in oregon. i'll start with you. >> well, i am going to congratulate secretary clinton on her win in kentucky along with the secretary of state who has said the unofficial win. both kentucky and oregon were structurally in favor of bernie sanders but the reality is, heather, that even if bernie sanders was to win the remaining contest by 30 points he still would be behind in pledge delegates and the popular vote. hillary clinton has almost 300 pledge delegates lead and a 3 million vote lead over bernie sanders. he can stay in the race. it's good for a turn out. it's good for the enthusiasm but there's no out the at this point that secretary clinton is going to be the first woman to be nominated in america for a presidential nomination from a major party. >> a positive outlook.

bernie sanders says he is in it to win it. all of his supporters would no doubt be incredibly disappointed if their candidate didn't come out on top because in their view he does keep winning all of these primaries. >> right. well, heather, bernie sanders has clearly had a message that has resinated in income inequality. raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour so he's had that. he's really packaged this message and touched the vote and young voters as we have seen and he became this protest candidate that's gotten really, really close. but yes the math is just not there but this race will go through june 14th. june 7th is going to be very interesting as we all know california is going to be there. it will be an opportunity. probably the opportunity where hillary clinton may very well clench this nomination because california has over 500 delegates there to play with.

>> it will be a big one. >> and speaking of that, at the spite krit civil law from politicians sanders says he is staying in the race through the california primary. listen to this. >> let me be as clear as i can be, i agree with you. we are in to the last ballot is passed. >> will it matter? >> well, he has a lot of enthusiasm there but at the same time in california his campaign is actually contracting. he has got three out of the four of the people that were leading his campaign in california having less to campaign in the last few days. the reality is written on the wall. but again, the enthusiasm i think is good for the democrats. young people getting engaged in this election. it's good for democrats but when we look at 2008, president obama lost three out of the last ten elections, primary elections and still went on to win a decisive

victory. we'll see the same thing happen with secretary clinton. bernie sanders is going to con to fight. he'll continue to excite young voters and continue to excite the democratic base but secretary clinton has for the most part clenched the nomination. >> final word very quickly. we only have 10 seconds left. >> in 2008 i was part of the obama campaign and we saw hillary clinton lean in and deliver her supporters to barrack obama. i think that will happen. we'll unify. the democrats will behind the nominee and i think it will all workout at the end. >> that's something that bernie sanders has not been willing to do yet. so supporters asked should we support clinton and he says well she has to prove herself. we'll see what happens. thank you guys for joining us. do not go far. we'll see you back here in the next hour as well. >> thanks it was a big night for voters in oregon and kentucky. also a very busy night on social

media. fox and friends weekend co-host clay morris with what is trending. one of these days you're going to be the one trending. >> we don't need that to happen. >> you were up late watching social media last night and bernie sanders was out in oregon and everyone was wondering about the photo finish in kentucky. so social media burning up the daily news and it was a clear winner. of course this year at the kentuckier the by but not in kentucky last night for hillary clinton delairing victory but even the associated press not saying she had won yet. she was like i'm going to win. you can declare it later if you want to. writing last night on twitter she tweeted out even the kentucky derby couldn't compete with the kentucky primary right now. i need a big hat and 30 mint juleps. a big bernie sanders supporter. if you're watching the trending topics last night on twitter and facebook and google trends it was all about bernie sanders and

hillary clinton saying we won kentucky. we're always stronger united so she is claiming victory and yet the associated press hasn't declared a victory yet. time to elect a new colonel sanders. if you add a little mustache and crazy hair. get some fried chicken down there in kentucky and also burning up the state, a lot of people having fun with berntucky with bernie sanders air over the state of kentucky. they'll split the dell fwegates there but the other primetime event, all of you were watching that, megyn kelly's sit down interview with donald trump. he has gotten into trouble from time to time. what he says around retweets. not necessarily his own tweets but retweets. watch this. >> i have millions of followers. i have millions of followers. >> i'm familiar.

>> yes you are. the thing that gets me in trouble is retweets. the retweets is more of a killer. the tweets i seem to do well with. >> if he was watching this live and i don't know if you've seen this before. watching yourself on tv and then live tweeting during your own interview. that's what donald trump was doing last night. he was live tweeting his own interview with megyn kelly and he said that's it. that was done. well done megyn and they all lived happily ever after. he was also live tweeting during the political season he said that's it. hillary clinton it's you and me. let's get it on for the general election. >> what would we do without trump's twitter acounty. >> i don't know. >> when i tweet myself i'm fine. it's when i retweet. >> of course. thanks for clarifying. >> elections without twitter, what do we do then? well the time now is about 20 minutes until the top of the hour. the interview everyone was talking about. we were just talking about it.

megyn kelly one-on-one with the republican presumptive nominee. listen. >> when you look back on the past nine months from the first debate until now. any regrets? >> donald trump's surprising answer you will only hear on fox. that's next.

welcome back. it's the interview everyone is talking about. >> covering a wide range of topics starting with that moment. you know the one. the one that started that feud nine months ago. >> we were always friends. >> good relationship.

>> then came the august 6th, 2016 debate and i asked you a tough question about women using only the words that you had used. i thought it was a fair question. why didn't you? >> i thought it was unfair. first of all i didn't think it was really a question. i thought it was more of a statement. i don't really blame you because you're doing your thing but from my standpoint i don't have to like it. we were having our little difficulty and you probably had some pretty nasty tweets sen your way. i don't want to say. but i heard that. i don't want to say but we have an unbelievable bond. >> you retweet some of those. not just the fans. >> but not the more nasty ones. you would be amazed at the ones i don't retweet. that was a retweet. did i say that. >> many times. >> okay. excuse me. >> when you look back on the past nine months from that first debate to now, any regrets?

>> absolutely i have regrets. i don't think i want to discuss what the regrets are but absolutely. i could have done certain things differently. i could have maybe used different languages in a couple of instances but overall i have to be very happy with the outcome. if i were soft. if i were presidential, in a way it's a bad word because there's nothing wrong with being presidential but if i would not have fought back the way i fought back i don't think i would have been successful. >> an after the interview trump tweeted this, well, that is it. well done megyn and they all lived happily ever after. >> you've been called worse. >> some headlines now, bo bergdahl won be put on trial until after the election. bergdahl already claiming donald trump's negative comments could hurt his chance at a fair trial. he was charged with abandoning

his post back in 2009. he was later exchanged for five terrorists. we'll speak to his former platoon mate in the 8:00 hour of fox and friends. that will be interesting. >> yeah. >> prioritizing illegal immigrants over u. s. citizens. the obama administration spending millions of dollars to help young refugees find summer jobs. the new summer opportunity project is shelling out $21 million on a variety of programs in 11 communities nationwide. now the refugee students will receive summer job work experience. tutoring lessons and support in finding part time jobs. >> almost ten minutes now to the top of the hour and the race for running mates. what should donald trump and hillary clinton be looking for in a vice president. >> why our next guest says clinton should be eyeing up john kasich. stay with us.

welcome back. a horrifying case of mistacken identity. frantic 911 calls revealing the struggle between three armed home invaders and a father determined to protect his father at that home. >> please my husband is bleeding badly. they came in my house. and one of them down inside of the house. >> do you have kids in the house. >> yes. >> how scary. colorado investigators say that the suspects were after drugs.

but went to the wrong house. the husband fighting them off despite being stabbed. good news is he's expected to recover. arrested at the scene along with cody jones here on the right is still at large. >> it was the punch seen around the world. in the baseball world anyway. rangers second baseman suspended 8 games and fined $5,000 for slugging the blue jays jose batista. for his role batista was suspended one game. in all 14 players and coaches were disciplined for this melee. >> thanks heather. all right as trump closes in on the gop nomination and clinton keeps her delegate lead it's of course time to talk about the running mates. what should they each be looking for in a vp. here are the thoughts on a vp pick. thanks for waking up this morning. >> it's good to see you.

>> we know that vice presidential picks are always important but it does seem like this could be a make or break depending on who they pick. what should they be looking for? >> i think donald trump and hillary clinton are going to have someone that helps with their weaknesses so for trump you're probably going to see someone that seems like a steady hand that can help in foreign policy and for hilary she is going to may double down on winning more hispanic votes. she has to worry and we're seeing bernie sanders still winning last night so she'll have to pass identify that wing of the party to get them excited about coming out in november. >> and ben carson coming out with a list and since then that's not accurate. give us a sense of your break down. who do you think trump is seriously looking at. >> i would look for someone like him. he's an army general. incredibly accomplished in iraq and afghanistan. he's not just any general. he's well-known in the washington and foreign policy community.

the donor community. they like him. so this is someone that's been a very common steady hand in the past 15 years. someone that a lot of donors and the foreign policy community in washington would trust. >> with a about newt gingrich. >> there's been a lot of talk about newt gingrich on the ticket. >> he's interesting. he is somebody that campaigned harder than anyone else to be trump's vp. >> he said he wants it. >> it's so brazen. i'm not quite sure if it's desperate or admirable. the interesting thing about newt to me is that he has mastered the dark art of sparring with the clintons in the 1990s so he could get under hilary's skin because remember newt was her husband's chief antagonist while he was president. so it could really sort of irritate her i think. >> a lot of people saying trump has to get a woman on his tick. >> i like her. she is in a critical swing state in iowa. she has a military background.

she is loved by the tea party and christian conservatives. i don't see any down side and unlike sarah palin in 2008 that was thrust on the national scene without a lot of experience, joanie gave the speech in january after the president's address and she has been out there in the national media so it's not going to be new to her to be experiencing a national campaign for the first time. >> what about hillary clinton? a lot of talk about castro. >> if she is going to double down on having this historic ticket. having a woman and hispanic as her vp would really kind of say the democratic party is the party for hispanic voters and of course we know trump is struggling in that area. he is also quite young so you're presenting a woman with a young hispanic. seems like a forward leaning ticket. >> what about someone you might not expect like a john kasich. >> i like the idea.

if she thinks she can peel off moderate republicans that may not be satisfied with trump it would be smart to go the bipartisan route. another critical state ohio where he is popular. the one state he won in the primary. >> and also, finally, bill clinton. >> i mean, really. >> bill clinton is my out of the box pick for her and here's why. it presens a constitutional conundrum. we'd have to get legal scholars involved but purely from a pr perspective if hillary clinton runs a traditional campaign she will lose. he is -- we saw 16 different republicans run a traditional campaign and lose against him so she needs to think big and out of the box and it's funny i picked bill clinton for her yesterday and she came out on the trail yesterday and said she was going to put him in charge of the economy. >> maybe she is watching the show. >> we have a lot of other names we'll get to in the next hour. we'll see you then.

thank you for being with us. >> all right. almost 5:00 in the morning on the east coast and it was a big night for donald trump as he is now just double digits away from becoming the republican nominee. bernie sanders vowing he is not going down quitely. our team coverage with analysis continues next.

it is wednesday, may 18th, the battle in the bluegrass state too close to call. good morning to you. >> good morning. that's right. kentucky turning out to be a real run for the roses. just clinton slightly ahead now. >> bernie sanders vowing that he is not going anywhere after a big win in oregon and donald trump taking one step closer to the nomination. the presumptive nominee has 1,160 delegates. just 77 shy of the magic number.

>> hilary now with 2,291 and sanders with 1,528. >> let's get the very latest from mike. he is live for us in louisville kentucky with sanders 1,528. >> good morning. the state party has declared hillary the winner. if she was looking for the decisive victory sho show they are unified behind her to show she is shaking the bern she didn't get it. less than half of a percentage point splits clinton and sanders. 46.8 percent to 46.3 percent. that is a rounded number. in liberal oregon sanders came along with the win. in oregon last night donald trump uncontested came away with 66.8 percent of the vote over on the gop side. clinton took to twitter to declare she is breaking the
