8:00 am
martha: we will be back later tonight. bill: 12 hours. martha: in 12 hours. have a great day everybody, we will see you tonight. "happening now" starts now. melissa: of fox news alert on the final super tuesday in primary season. voters across six states now casting their ballots hours after the associated press reported some superdelegate commitmentshave clinched the democratic nomination for hillary clinton , making her the first woman ever to top a major party ticket in the us. on the gop side, a new wrinkle in the controversy over donald trump and his attacks on the judge overseeing the trump university case. hello everybody, i'm melissa branson in for jenna lee . jon: i'm eric shawn in for john scott. trump under fire as he from
8:01 am
both the right and the left, some republicans calling on him to apologize. mister trump refusing to back down as elite conference call with those trump campaign staffers has surfaced. that call shows he insisted his staff defend but ramp up his attacks on the judge and on the media. we have live steam coverage. adam housley is in los angeles with the latest on today's california primary. elizabeth is in new jersey where the private primary is ongoing there. first let's start with john roberts reporting on the growing response in that building on fifth avenue. reporter: eric, good morning. this should be a day of celebration for the trump campaign, it's the end of the primary season, he's expected to win five states today but there's a growing split in the republican party over the comments he made about
8:02 am
judgment curiel, saying it was impossible for him to be fair to donald trump, that he has a conflict of interest because this quote, mexican heritage. senator tim scott of south carolina the only african-american in the senate that though those comments were racially toxic. lindsey graham also is encouraging republicans to withdraw their endorsement of donald trump and just a few minutes ago, the speaker of the house paul ryan weighed in on this. youmight remember last week paul ryan said the comments came completely out of left field for him. he said this morning while hillary clinton is not the answer, trump's comments were quote, indefensible. here's the speaker. >> i regret those comments that you made. i don't think , claiming a person can't do their job because of their race is the textbook definition of a racist comment. i think thatshould be absolutely disavowed. it's absolutely unacceptable. reporter: meanwhile as you mentioned a short time ago, eric , donald trump continuing his campaign against judge gonzalo curiel, dialing back on the idea of his mexican heritage in an interview with bill o'reilly last night but on a
8:03 am
conference call yesterday telling all his surrogates who were on the call to keep hammering on judgment curiel as being unfair and not an impartial judge. here's sarah huckaby sanders was on the call yesterday. >> i agree that he should recuse himself. this is an openly liberal democrat. there's no way he cannot be biased, not impartial. he strongly supports open borders. i completely agree that this is a case that he needs to step away from and he is too entrenched i think on the wrong side and he should step down. >> what's interesting to notice how the tone has changed in the last month or so. on may 6, daniel e who was his lead attorney in the trump university case, you may remember him from the o.j. simpson civil try as well as the brontcs said to
8:04 am
reporters outside the courthouse that the judge was doing his job and was not going to seek the judge's refusal. i'm not sure how you square those two things but that's the difference between early may and where we are now. donald trump also doing business, we understand that if not now, very soon you will be meeting with the chairman of the house financial services committee, expected to in the next few days introduce an alternative to.frank which donald trump has said on the campaign trail he will seek to repeal should he become president. that's where we all with all of this. a long way to go. eric: all right john, thanks so much. melissa: voters in the garden state have a chance to make a difference for the first time in a long time. voters heading to the polls for one of the most critical primaries new jersey has held in years and the state rough-and-tumble politics is playing a role for sure. cindy miller is live in elizabeth, new jersey read what's the mood like they are needed? reporter: quiet right now but what's interesting is despite the fact that hillary clinton and donald trump have locked up the nominations for their respective parties, there is
8:05 am
a slow but steady flow of voters here at this polling station in elizabeth, new jersey. only registered democrats and republicans can take part in the primary in new jersey but unaffiliated voters had to sign up with the party at the polls and then they can cast a ballot and this could help bernie sanders. what voters could not do today s change their party affiliation. the deadline for that has passed. we talked to all have one thing in common, melissa. they want their voices heard. the. >> you never know what voters one vote can make a whole lot of difference. if not one vote then maybe someone is going to win that i don't want. it will count a lot, it means a lot i have to vote. regardless of what other people say, it's my duty and responsibility to vote so when tonight rolls around and the numbers come out, then we will really know. but until then, i have to go to work.
8:06 am
reporter: also casting a vote today, minutes ago, new jersey governor chris christie. after dropping out of the presidential race, he became the first high-profile republican to endorse donald trump. some analysts say he could be a possible running mate but not all republicans approve of trump. former new jersey governor tom whitman published an op-ed piece say i will be voting today and with my vote, we will let the republican leaders know that i do not believe donald trump represents the best of my party or what is good for the country. despite the fact that the pundits have said that it looks like it's going to be for certain hillary clinton and donald trump, hillary clinton has been campaigning very very aggressively here in the state of new jersey . she was here just last week and at her side was the former newark mayor cory booker, now senator from new jersey and the question came up, might cory booker be a potential vice president?
8:07 am
he responded to that question melissa by saying that he is already her vp, clarifying, he went on to say i'm her vegan pal. melissa: i like that. i saw someone behind you with a child. my dad used to take me to the polls every day. i like to show my kids that it is important to be vote and be part of the process. thank you so much for that report. bill: eric: that is american democracy. the biggest prize today of course is in the other side of our country in new jersey and that is california. the registration numbers are any indication it may be a record turnout at the garden state today. there are nearly 18 million registered voters there, the most ever for a primary and there are a ton of first-time voters. adam housley is live in los angeles with the latest now that the polls are open. >> people here a little bit
8:08 am
concerned with that ap report that came out because the first time in a long time, california voters might have some sort of say on the national level. the court has some people in the democratic side a little concerned that that might turn down a bit of what the expectation was for voters going to the polls here but i have to tell you this morning in los angeles, this smaller polling place had 40 people waiting in line, i have an hour before polls open more than an hour ago which is a good time for voting here in california. you mentioned about 18 million california, the most ever registered to vote here. that's about three quarters of those eligible to vote in the state. there's a late surge of registration in the final week leading up to the on with many of those registering as democrats suggesting there's a lot of interest among voters having a pivotal role in this nomination process for taking account that new delegate count from the associated press that dropped last night that is very controversial in the golden state because of when it was released. the eight people includes superdelegates and has way ahead, clinching the nomination even without any of california's 475 pledged
8:09 am
delegates. the sanders campaign blasting this ap report, questioning the timing and the same it could end up suppressing voter turnout in california. sanders himself has said california is a state he can win and that would shake up things in the democratic party as well as the primary. he needs a strong turnout in california to do so and some recent numbers had the difference about two percent within the margin of error. about 15, 20 people still in line an hour and 10 minutes after it opened. there is one other issue that california hasn't had as has affected a lot of people, voting by mail. a lot of these will be coming in today and if for some reason this is down to a very close vote, some people suggest maybe we may not know for some time, it might even go into the early morning before they might be able to say the voter turnout is big who wins california if you are a democrat. is it sanders or is it clinton? eric: it could go for hours,
8:10 am
even days. we will see what happens later. adam, good to see you. melissa: getting awry on california, net nephi pelosi is the top democrat in the state. she makes her home in the golden state and today she gave a boost to the hillary clinton presidential campaign. >> well, i'm a voter in california and i have voted for hillary clinton for president of the united states and plan to endorse her for that position. >> joining us now is associate editor and columnist at the hill and chris bergdahl, editor-in-chief of the daily caller news foundation. thanks to both of you for joining us. christopher, you make a great point. you say hillary clinton is making a lot of the fact that this is a story for women but bernie sanders has a little bit ofhistory going for him as well. how so? >> he does. this is a close-up , the closest a socialist has gotten to the lighthouse and wallace was vice president
8:11 am
for fdr and democrats forced him off the ticket because they wanted to hold on to the southern states and democrats in the south state were happy with a socialist being that close to the white house. he has an opportunity to over shine and rain on hillary's parade. if i were hillary's campaign right now i would be ticked off about this ap report and the front page of every single newspaper in the country saying that hillary's got the nomination because she needs as much excitement, as much importance on this boat as anybody does, otherwise her losing california and it's very close right now is really going to send the news cycle this week as opposed to her, it's going to copy and show how we she is next to this socialist . melissa: ab, you look at hillary clinton's history and politics. she struggled with barack obama, obviously. she is struggling now to wipe away bernie sanders. if even if it seems like she is the nominee, how does that say about how much she's going to struggle with donald trump if anything? >> one of the things are campaign has been working
8:12 am
hardest on is the donors and their supporters, they are ready for donald trump in a way that none of his rivals were in the primary. she underestimated barack obama, she underestimated bernie sanders. he's trying to beg people to go out and vote and ignore the reports of the historic commendation last night and today because she does not want to lose california because it doesn't just mean she loses the news cycle this week, it means she will go to the convention and it would be a stink bomb there and make things much harder for her to attract is voters in november when she will need them when voters will be turning out enthusiastically so this is something she's been working hard to do is focus on her supporters and her democrats and convince them she's ready for this unconventional, unprecedented fight with donald trump and last week it look like she was off to a good start but she's going to have a lot in the weeks to come to. melissa: chris, you say bernie sanders is looking to spear the party by winning california. why does he want to scare them? >> he wants to change the party. he's kind of donald trump or
8:13 am
ron paul. his loyalty is not to the democratic party, it's not to the platform. it's trying to change something and change erratically and his supporters said the same thing. he's not going to succumb so close to this revolution he's been leading and walk away and give a nice endorsement. he wants everything to be different and the party that hillary clinton is likely taking over, because of him it's going to have very little resemblance to the party that her husband led 20 years before and bernie, if he can hold on and win in california and disrupt the narrative for another week than he could be a serious force at the convention but if he loses in california and president obama comes out maybe this weekend some reports have said that his endorsement to get the progressives more in line, it's going to be hard for him to hold on during this hot summer. melissa: before you go, you mentioned the speech and it seemed like hillaryclinton was trying to get to the right of donald trump on foreign-policy . am i reading that right? >> know, i think she is to
8:14 am
the right of donald trump on foreign-policy but i don't think she made that clear enough in that speech. it was not about foreign policy, it was about donald trump and the kind of impulsive behavior he demonstrated that makes him, in her characterization, unfit to be president and commander-in-chief and that's what she's going to keep up. she's going to scare people about his temperament for the job p7 thanks to both of you, appreciated . eric: coming up, the car goes off a cliff and tragically, one of those twins is killed. the other one now charged with murder because the witnesses say happened just before the crash. we have those intriguing details. turning into a soaker in some parts of florida and the rain, it's not over even though the storm is on the move. where it's going, the damage left and the story oncolin on this primary tuesday .
8:15 am

8:18 am
eric: purists some crime stories we are following. a 37-year-old woman charged with murder of her twin and the car they were driving and plunged off a 200 foot cliff in molly, hawaii. witnesses say the sisters were arguing, another one pulling her hair in a rage. that car accelerated. only the driver, the one you see their survived that crash and she is now being held with no bail. a report on the cape escape of those two killers in a prison last year. the murderers on the run for three weeks before one was killed and the other captured. the investigation finds quote, a myriad of failures at the maximum-security prison that were to blame including serious security lapses in side and they also said from the prison worker who help those to escape. a new plate led to the death of a little girl who was forced to run for hours as punishment. the girls grandmother was convicted of her murder and died in prison. now the child's stepmom
8:19 am
pleading guilty to aggravated child abuse and a prosecutor said she did nothing to stop that horrendous punishment. melissa: fox extreme weather alerts. tropical storm calling on the move, picking up speed and gaining strength as it heads along the southeast coast. news after it made landfall early this morning, pounding northern florida with high winds and heavy rain. we all live in cedar key florida. it looks a little called her now. reporter: at absolutely is caller and brittany, breaking meteorological news, tropical storm colin is now dead as a minute ago. the national hurricane center downgrading that tropical storm, no longer a tropical storm, no longer even a tropical cyclone, it's simply too disorganized and too elongated to classify itself that way. no, along the carolinas, georgia as well as florida today, the remnants, the
8:20 am
travel moisture in the air still expected to bring more rain today. several inches and that will provide more of what you see here, pockets of isolated flooding in low-lying areas. the state of florida's emergency operations center assessed all the damage earlier this morning and will they report no significant damage in the state. in other words, as far as tropical storms go, this one would have been a whole lot worse . colin did deliver the rain, a lot of it, anywhere from 3 to 10 inches of rain depending on where you were and tampa st. petersburg region received a lot of it. as the jacksonville and saint augustine last night as the storm moved northeast across the state where possible tornadoes or just windshear ripped off roach rooftops and toppled many a tree that brought down power lines but florida power and light which served 10 million customers, about half the state, there was only about 2000 of its customers woke up today without electricity with nearly 400 living at the southern tip of the state in miami-dade county.
8:21 am
the storm, well, maximum sustained winds of 50 miles per hour as of about an hour ago but it's all breaking apart as i mentioned at the top but it is marching fast out into the atlantic, moving at about 33 miles per hour which is really fast. the center of the storm now east of north carolina and this is going to be a rainmaker. another big concern for the state of florida in particular which has more zika cases than any other state is now that we are in the beginning of hurricane season, today is just day seven, we had our first named storm of the season driving into florida, leaving a lot of standing water and obviously that is private breeding habitat for the mosquitoes that can transmit zika. melissa: is that time of year. thank you so much for that report. eric: do you think this is good for parenting? a young boy is back home now after he was plucked from the woods alone.by himself. four days.
8:22 am
his parents say they abandoned him. video showing alleged misconduct by the chicago police now available online. do you think this is a good protocol that can rebuild trust or is it unfair to law enforcement? >> incredible bladder protection in a pad this thin, i didn't... ...think it would work, but it does. it's called always discreet for bladder leaks, the super... ...absorbent core turns liquid to gel. i know i'm wearing it but no one else will. always discreet for bladder leaks.
8:23 am
8:24 am
now it's war, they band i want them dead!lves. the fleas and ticks? their whole gang. we can do that. only bravecto kills fleas & ticks for up to 12 weeks with one tasty chew. starts killing fleas in two hours and kills nearly 100% in under twelve. and it's fda approved. bravecto is for dogs 6 months of age or older. don't worry, princess, we'll settle the score. tonight we ride, with bravecto!! ask your vet about 12-week protection with bravecto.
8:25 am
melissa: a seven-year-old boy in japan is back home after his parents left him in the woods for days as punishment. the young boy released from the hospital, look at that face, telling reporters he's okay. his parents say they wanted toleave their son briefly to teach him a lesson for misbehaving but when they came back to get him, he was gone. after nearly a week , the boy
8:26 am
was found at a military base slightly dehydrated. just a few scrapes but otherwise okay. reports say police won't charge the parents. as for the sun, he wants to go back to school and play baseball. look at that kid. eric: chicago is been under siege from soaring murder rates and charges of misconduct. now the police department releasing hundreds of videos showing police related incidents involving officer involved duties, taking in cases. the release is it that an attempt at transparency and earning trust after several scandals involving chicago police officers. will it work? or is it unfair in the city named by out-of-control shootings that have taken grisly toll. here's our legal panel. bob bianchi, criminal defense attorney and county prosecutor and a trial attorney. bob, let me first ask you. we got these videos out for the police said.
8:27 am
is it fair to the police officers involved or does it actually expose misconduct? >> as a prosecutor is investigating police cases, i would not want to release investigative data until the investigation was complete so that witnesses were not tainted and we got eyes and cross these but we also have to balance the communities need to know the police, internal affairs in for tickler are policing the police. these cases have gone on for years with no response from anybody in the community with regard to what happened so i think this was a measured response in order to build some credibility and trust that things have changed with the chicago pd. were not going to allow hundreds of cases to go unresolved because speed is quick in these investigations. they weigh 60 to 90 days so they can do the investigation without thinking witnesses and then release these videos which i will say i think will exonerate police. >> what bob is doing is putting these videos in the context of chicago. today the new york times just this past weekend had a full-page article, 60 shootings just this past week
8:28 am
. >> 64 over memorial day weekend in chicago alone over the weekend. that's six fatalities. it's like a third world country is here in the usa. so you put those videos in the context of that and i think the mayor and others in the city of chicago say we need to do something and the transparency is a move toward that. >> is a horrible situation, the latest shooting this morning, a six-year-old girl in critical condition but look at some of these videos. play one of them again. we have one of someone in the hallway and the police officer is going after the person but what does it mean if you don't know exactly what the situation is? look at that. someone by the hallway there as you can see and the police officers come up and push him but bob, to your point, there's no audio. you don't know what transpired. you don't know what the charges are, you don't know what the crime is, you don't know who the suspect is.
8:29 am
>> this is a continuing problem as has been indicated. there's an outrageous violence going on in chicago and i know as the law-enforcement officer, those communities are asking for law enforcement, the good people that are living there, to intercede and do something but these police are not dealing with fire. these are that are passively resisting or even more importantly are not listening to police commands, charting at the police, creating a risk of either serious injury to the police officer or the community and in those situations the police do not have a fair fight. the rules are very clear with regard to when they can use deadly force. that said, if they do something inappropriate they should be held accountable. >> and videos will catch them at it. these videos may also exonerate some police officers who have been charged in something they didn't do. these videos will say look, they will show the defendants in some cases acting in a way that would garner the use of force by police officer. eric: obviously some are
8:30 am
shocking. there's someone, shooting maybe a car when the gun is out. this stuff is out of context but here's what the head of the fraternal order of police says about the he says quote, we've had 13,000 police officers battered in the same. that they talk about when we have the 402 shootings. i don't understand the purpose behind it. investigators have signed to this case, then they go online and they say my gosh, there's 18,000 hits on this video and there's comments, this officer should be fired. i don't think it's fair. >> cops are there to think it's fair because they wanted typical protocols to be followed, that you do the investigation until there's some finding of wrongdoing and i have to ask , the district attorney's office in any of this? we have to balance that with the fact that they have unfortunately not responded to these complaints quickly enough, requiring them to do this. eric: you think this will help the horrible situation that continues in chicago? >> it made. it's bad now, they've got to
8:31 am
do something and maybe this transparency will help. >> one more point, one of the things i see in the videos that i want right now and i have to say over and over again, people say they are shooting at unarmed people. when the police officer has a gun and they are attacking a police officer, people have to understand what important civil. stop fighting your case in the court on the street. go to the court and fight the case where you fight cops, when you resist cops, people get hurt. eric: bob, elise, thank you. melissa: donald trump facing fire from members of his own party, calling his comments about the federal judge the textbook definition of racist. but instead of apologizing, he appears to be doubling down. plus, the judge who sentenced the convicted rapist to six months is facing outrage himself. you're with what the victim's supporters what to do to him. >> or that we searched billions of flights to get you here. a few weeks ago,
8:32 am
you didn't even know where here was. now the only thing you don't know, is how you're gonna leave. expedia. technology that connects you to the people and places that matter.
8:33 am
8:34 am
8:35 am
melissa: right now quick look at what is still to come this hour on "happening now".a woman accused of killing her fiancc during a kayaking trip. she makes a startling admission after her lawyer had previously said he fell in the water. the dow jones right now trading up double digits, up 81 points. we will tell you what's powering today's movement and why investors are feeling positive even after that bad jobs report. and after an incident last
8:36 am
week led to a shooting of a rare gorilla, these visitors of the cincinnati zoo is reopening with a big change in place. eric: from america's election headquarters, donald trump on the defensive over those attacks on the federal judge is not backing down. calling on his supporters to back his criticism of judge gonzalo curiel's mexican heritage. judge curiel was born in indiana to mexican parents. he is presiding over that trump university fraud case and has made several rulings against trump side. now some republicans are criticizing their presumptive nominee's remarks and there's been a big campaign issue over the last few days. pete snyder ran as a republican for the virginia lieutenant governor's race and is a fox news contributor. donnie, worked on seven presidential campaigns and serve the clinton campaign as liaison to congress. let me start with you. lindsey graham, senator no friend of donald trump has called on fellow republicans to unendorsed mister trump as of these remarks. should they? >> i think the remarks were ridiculously unfortunate,
8:37 am
absolutely beneath donald trump. he should apologize and on. to keep track of lindsey graham though, he's endorsed and unendorsed romany candidates during his time, it's kind of makes my head spin a little bit but these comments are beneath donald trump. he should apologize and move on and focus on hillary clinton. i cannot believe despite all of this, donald trump has a 50-50 chance at winning this thing. hillary clinton is so unpopular. eric: he's not only not apologizing, his doubling down. in the conference call he said keep going. he's continuing to make this an issue. people keep continuing to ask him about it, this isn't going away anytime soon. >> donald trump is a conundrum wrapped in a problem surrounded by disaster and is not just senator lindsey graham, it's the republican leader in the u.s. senate mitch mcconnell, and the republican speaker of the house paul ryan so this is not anisolated incident . it's one that's off the
8:38 am
charts. this is a real problem not just for the republican party, this is a real problem for america because we are getting to a discussion where we are challenging the judiciary on its basic fundamental premise which is trust and donald trump is taking it down a path that both parties recognize is way too risky for this country. eric: you do have a point about one issue that is raised about this. a lot has been said about judge sotomayer talking about latina judges, we've discussed different judges and appointments based on ethnicity and this is what she said in a speech in 2001. this is quoted in the berkeley of romar rossa journal. our experiences as women and people of color affect our decision. the expression of impartiality is just that. it's an aspiration because it denies the fact that we are now by our experiences making different choices than others.
8:39 am
not all women are people of color and in any particular case or circumstance but enough people of color, enough cases, will make a difference in the process of judging so those comments seem to dovetail and fitright in whether people like it or not to what donald trump has been saying . >> it's quite different. donnie fowler and i agree on 1,000,001 things outside politics. we rarely agree on politics but he's right on this. having any candidate challenge the independence of the judicial system and inside the race is just a horrible thing. you just cannot get over, it is election day in california where donnie is right now and hillary clinton is barely getting by. she's limping to the finish line here and i can't figure out how it was declared yesterday when there wasn't even anelection that hillary clinton is the winner. this system is so ray . eric: but let's get back to the issue at hand.
8:40 am
donald trumps comments and some of these supporters are saying he's lit raised a legitimate issue, questioning the judicial temperament sometimes. you feel this is off base as lindsey graham said, echoes of jim mccarthy. >> why are we talking about a trump university court case right now? he's running for president of the united states against the wildly flawed candidate in hillary clinton who can barely ... >> we're talking about the trump university case. [overlapping conversation] >> this comes down to a question of character for the republican nominee for president and were going to look at the character of hillary clinton but when donald trump calls into question a judge because the judge disagreed or ruled against donald trump, he's not just a private citizen. he is the representative and the nominee of the republican party for president of the united states..
8:41 am
donald trump must be held to the same standards that hillary clinton is. here's the weird thing about what's going on. hillary clinton has to be absolutely perfect for she gets skewered. donald trump have to do just a little bit better than completely knots.to be praised as all my gosh, you got donald trump. these are two standards. your party is not worth the risk. they are rejecting her in 2016, he barely getting by. [overlapping conversation] how these superdelegates work and why yesterday when there wasn't an election anywhere in the united states that she could be hitting the magic number? >> hillary clinton has won 3 million more votes than bernie sanders and any other democratic candidate that ran. 3 million actual people going to the polls . eric: let me get your prediction, donnie. i want our viewers to hear you clearly. donnie? california today, what's
8:42 am
going to happen? the ap says ms. clinton is the presumptive nominee. you think she will go over the top question mark what happens if presenters wins? >> hillary clinton will win california today. it may not be a huge double-digit margin but she will win today. she has 3 million more votes than editor sanders. sanders bought a tremendous grassroots energy to the party, that's going to carry the movement as well as hillary clinton into the white house this fall. she's going to be the nominee for the democrats. eric: your prediction and you think this judge issue will keep dogging donald trump? >> i certainly will and i hope he apologizes today. i think hillary clinton will live along the finish line, barely beating bernie sanders tonight and go in as one of the most flawed and unpopular nominees the democratic party has ever had. eric: is going to be amazing the next few months as they already are. thank you for joining us. >> thank you.
