i'm proud of my heritage, we're all proud, but i want to build a wall. >> house speaker paul ryan said he completely disagrees. today, former house speaker newt gingrich had very har much words for trump. >> this is one of the worst mistakes he has made. he has ever right to so say he doesn't fwlooef is righbelieve t this judge was born in indiana. >> and mitch mcconnell didn't say he comments were racist, but he said they were alienating. >> what is on trump's agenda today? >> trump is doing less and less campaigning since he locked up the republican nomination.

no events scheduled today. the schedule on the website that usually lists rallies is blank. she focusing on fundraising and getting his campaign organized. things where he is behind and hillary clinton has a clear advantage at this point. >> okay, kristin fisher, thanks, eric? >> china hitting back against us. new bold claims from beijing. secretary of state john kerry has arrive there'd for talks. building a military base there, the man made island saying it has the right to establish it's own air defense zone there, but our secretary of state say that's would be provocative. we have senior fellow of the american enterprise institute

and a fox news contributor here with us today what is china up to? >> they are systematically and rapidly pursuing taking their territorial claims to the south china sea and making them a physical reality. they will not engage in the negotiation that the obama administration called for since secretary of state hillary clinton's first visit to china seven years ago. they're making an indoor reality and sadly we're making occasional diplomatic comments -- >> we have seen them building aircraft carriers, military action, and we heard the threat -- let me just play you one sound bite from this weekend, the top guy, look what he said basically about us.

chooi no will never allow our security rights to be infringed. we refuse to be deceived by fallacies. >> they're the one that's are doing things in the south china sea. we have responded with a few so called freedom of navigation exercises, and that is a small plus, but it is not nearly enough. the countries of the region recognize they can't stand up to a belligerent aggressive china, and they recognize the political and economic consequences of this becoming a lake would be devasta devastating for them. we need presidential leadership. i'm glad the secretary of state

is upset by this, how about our president. america believes in the freedom of navigation from the beginning. we are a trading nation. our standard of living depends on it. we're challenged by china in a major, major way. >> when the chinese president was at the white house, he says they were not miltarizing the south china sea? >> i think you need something where you show the pictures over and over again of just exactly what china is doing. remember the other territorial claimants to these islands are vietnam, the philippines, taiwan -- >> they're upset. >> and extraordinarily weak. the united states is the only one who can stand up for freedom of navigation, and stand up

against a be lij rant government that is seizing territory. china is doing it in the south china sea and will do it in the east china sea, soon. these interests are directly and adversely effected here. >> yesterday was the anniversary of the tienamin square. do you believe that china has changed since that day? >> we heard about it for about 30 years from now preponderate dominant political force nap is who we're dealing with, and we're dealing with it through a

barack obama, john kerry, hillary clinton style diplomacy. we're losing the momentum is against us in the south china sea, and i'm very afraid the new president in jan may have a bigger deal. >> how would you change it? >> i think you have to do several things, politically demonstrate that we will not tolerate this. number two, step up military operations in the south china sea. longer term, rebuild the american navy. so we have a stronger capability. we're not looking for hostilities here. the sign of american weakness is the kind of weakness that invites provocative action and risks the kind of confrontation that we want to avoid. >> it is a challenge we embrace. thank you for being here. >> absolutely. >> all right. thank you. >> all right we turn to weather now because heavy rains are

finally starting to lift in texas, but the danger of flooding remains very real in as water from the swollen river beginning to flow downstream, will? >> hey there, the good news is that the water dropped dramatically in the past 24 hours here in richmond. some homes still rounded by water and streets here, but for the most part we're seeing a lot of transition to a clean up process. really trying to clean up and see what they have left. to the south, there is still a potentially dangerous situation. the river is still not crested. it is still rising. it forced more mandatory evacuations. 1700 prisoners.

the problem is they got more rain yesterday, the ground was saturated, and the water had nowhere to go. we saw a number of homes surrounded. residents have been trickling back in to see what has been salvageable. are they going to rebuild or what will they do? this is the worst flooding we have hadded in 100 years here. >> thousands of residents had been impacted by the torrential rains we have seen here in texas in the past week. many we have spoken to don't have insurance. the state plans to file a federal disaster declaration this week. that should open the door to free up fema funds to help these

residents out. many just trying to figure out what they have left, how to move forward, but the good news is for the rest of the week, the next four or five days, the weather at this point is looking very good and that is exactly what they have been hoping for. >> i hope nay gate break there. that insurance issue, good tlouk them with that as well. >> texas trying to dry out, but several places in the east have damaging winds and tornadoes. we have more on this, so tornadoes later today possibly in the east? >> isolated tornadoes, yes, in and around the dc area. be concerned for not only isolated tornadoes, but large hail, damaging winds, and a new tropical depression that we will talk about, we think it will be named collin and make land fall

across florida tomorrow. let's talk about it. we have a lot here. potential for strong to severe storms across the east coast. mainly a damaging wind threat, but we can't rule out isolated tornadoes, especially in the areas from virginia beach to new jersey, philadelphia, and washington dc. the threat coming later this afternoon into the evening hours and the overnight. the future radar, you see the front moving to warm, unstable air. here is our depression. we're watching this one, it will be named collin in the next couple hours, and make landfall tomorrow across florida. it will bring heavy rain on horder of four to six inches across the sunshine state and it

will move very quickly out to sea. it is quickly moving out to sea. we will see tropical storm force winds, and the potential for severe storms. this is a big story today, tomorrow, and through tuesday as we could see heavy rain and also the extreme heat across the southwest where we have heat advisories, feeling like 110 to 120 degrees, we set records in phoenix yesterday, eric, 115 for them. the earliest on record. they have seen 115 degrees in phoenix. >> i have been there when the was hot, and man oh man, watch the skies and take heed. >> okay, thank you. >> yes. >> we have too much rain on one coast, and not enough on the other. this is as firefighters in

california are fighting devastating wild fires. it is burning more than 500 acres. it is now 30% contained. hundreds are on scene getting help from air tankers. officials say they're investigating the possibility that a truck started the fire when it hit a utility pole. >> the world continues to remember a legend. well have more details on the upcoming funeral of muhammad ali. plus, california, here they come. hillary clinton and bernie sanders doing battle with the primary only 48 hours away. we'll analyze the stakes in this heated battle in the golden state.

your car got rear-ended and you needed a tow. did your 22-page insurance policy say, "great news. you're covered?" no. it said, "blah blah blah blah..." the liberty mutual app with coverage compass makes it easy to know what you're covered for and what you're not. liberty mutual insurance. what would help is simply being able to recognize a fair price.

that's never really been possible. but along comes a radically new way to buy a car, called truecar. now it is. truecar has pricing data on every make and model, so all you have to do is search for the car you want, there it is. now you're an expert in less than a minute. this is how car buying was always meant to be. this is truecar. ♪ once i left the hospital after a dvt blood clot. what about my wife... ...what we're building together... ...and could this happen again? i was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me? i spoke to my doctor and she told me about eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots

and reduces the risk of them happening again. not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots. but eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. knowing eliquis had both... ...turned around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless you doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt & pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding. both made switching to eliquis right for me. ask your doctor if it's right for you.

i used to like that song. saying goodbye to the legendary and irreplaceable muhammad ali. flowers and tributes have been outside of his home. eulogies will be given by bill clinton, billy crystal. the family spokesman says ali dies from septic shock. he was 74 years old.

>> okay, believe back now to politics. hillary clinton gets close to the finish line. now 70 delegates away from clinching the democratic nomination after getting a win in the u.s. virgin islands yesterday, but secretary clinton not taking her foot off of the pedal. she campaigned hard in california ahead of the primary. senator bernie sanders made it clear he refuses to go away any time soon. >> don't tell hillary, she'll get very nervous. she was supposed to be -- the media decided that the campaign was over, she was supposed to be campaigning in new jersey, sudd suddenly she and bill got on a plane and here they are in california. >> ashley pratt is here, good to

see you. >> thank you, you too. >> why is hillary still campa n campaigni campaigning? is she concerned about losing the primary there in california, or is there optics at play in that secretary clinton doesn't want to appear presumptuous? >> i think it is a little less about optics and more about the fact that her campaign has been losing momentum for quite some time. sanders is still drawing in large crowds. the fact that she is cancelling tours in new jersey, going out to california, is something i think of concern around the campaign. we have to remember, too, she came off of a series of losses of oregon, indiana, and west virginia. only narrowly won in kentucky by

a fraction of a percent. i think you really have to see she is hanging on by a thread as she clinches this nomination, which she will more than likely do by the time california polls close on tuesday night, but she goes into that convention very, very week. >> i spoke to a bernie sanders delegate yesterday, and he said those super delegates could switch sides, so what's the likelihood of the delegates to witch from bernie to hillary clinton? >> it happened in 2008. they went to senator barack obama. so if sanders is really playing this ground game to switch over these super delegates, that is possible, but at the same time that really depends on what happens in california. if she goes in having lost the

largest state in the country, i don't think a lot of candidates think she will be the strongest to go against donald trump. i think super delegates have a lot to consider, especially going into california on tuesday. >> so what if clinton loses in california? is it better for the voters and their power at the ballot box in the future, or better for bernie sanders and the wind that would put in his political sails? >> i'm not entirely sure. i think we have seen momentum on sanders side, so if voters vote for sanders and clinton losses,i don't think momentum is going her way. if she wins if california, they cannot be denied at the convention. if she loses there, we have seen

this on the republican side that the will of the people should be carried out. if she loses, i think bernie has an argument to stay in until the convention. >> ashley pratt, we have to leave it there, thank you. >> a new study is giving home in the fight of pancreatic cancer. why not brushing your teeth or flossing could increase your chance of the disease. more on parkinson's disease and the effect if had on muhammad ali, next.
