martin's juliana airport in bad weather, captain dewitt decides to divert.o the nearby island of st. thomas. then to st. croix when he finds out it's even closer. but as the plane is climbing away from the airport in a torrential downpour, there's a problem. >> my navigator said to me, balsey, my god, look at the fuel gauges. >> because of the wind, the turbulence and the conditions, the airplane was rocking back and forth as it was climbing. the fuel totalizer was spinning. >> i told him not to worry about it because i considered it was probably -- you know, being low on fuel to begin with, the turbulence and sloshing up and down in the tanks might cause this. >> but at 6,500 feet warning lights indicating low fuel pressure illuminate and captain dewitt knows just how grave this situation has become. >> he talks to the controller, how far are we from st. thomas? i've got five minutes of fuel, i'm not going to make st. thomas. >> i briefed the crew that we would keep going to st. croix but we were going to set up for a possible ditching. it's dark. it's over

jeff dewitt says, oh, they should talk about issues.negative possibly for had cillary clinto? historically, what we know, negative attack ads tend to drive up the negative of attacker and the target. this is something that could be risky for hillary clinton as well. getting back to donald trump and whether or not he is going to campaign in more substantive manner, this is the person who bragged that he didn't study for the debates. he just sort of stood on stage and made faces and sneered and mocked his competitors. i don't know if that is going to get him through the debates with hillary clinton. >> he did more than that. >> on the reverse side, interestingly, ironically, when donald trump's numbers have gone up, it is when he has hit on a policy position that has really resonated. when he said he was going to build that wall in terms of immigration reform, for a lot of americans who feel economically insecure because of the competition from illegal immigrants coming to the united states, that sent him to the front of the line with rep

jeff dewitt, donald trump clarifying here a little bit.i was afraid not just because of conservative principles but because of my own wallet. i wish someone could sit down with me when i write that check to the irs. maybe i don't know all the loopholes. i think it's a reason to go after successful people in this country. it's a dangerous path. >> something on his website forever when you go into policies is he wants to reduce the loopholes used only by the super wealthy. he wants to simplify the tax code and he's a businessman. he's taking a results-oriented approach to the plan. he came out with four points. he said i want to reduce taxes on the middle class, growth u.s. economy and do that without raising the deficit. then he went into the plan of how he would do it. it's a very, very good plan and very structured but he does say very clearly that he wants to get rid of and eliminate the loopholes used by the super wealthy. charles: i think the problem is -- we hear politicians all the time say we want to tax the wealthy more. sometimes

earlier today this morning i was -- i spoke with jeff dewitt. he said something i felt was amazing.id the first round of voting in arizona it was tight. the second round cruz wiped him out. i think that's the thinking if it goes to a contested convention. >> i do, too. the frontrunner stalls and the person coming up from behind gets the momentum. charles: you guys spent a lot of money trying to stop donald trump. how much have you spent in indiana? >> seven figures. about $1.5 million. you try to get momentum when the person in the lead stalls out. charles: on one hand we have donald trump, art of the deal. his fans applaud him. ted cruz is playing art of the deal politic style on the back end he gets criticized for it. i think he's paying a heavy price for it. gallup poll. cruz's i am and was 71% and now he's down to 39%. he's paying a heavy price for winning these things. >> that's because donald trump has spun the narrative that the system is rigged. ted cruz has never been a favorite of the establishment. that's where the ground gape has been so important. when it come down to t

let me bring in jeff dewitt, also arizona state treasurer. jeff dewitt, welcome back.how are you, sir? >> great, brooke. great to be here. thanks for having me. >> let's begin just with the four references to donald trump being a loose cannon from secretary clinton just now with anderson. how would team trump respond to that? >> well, hillary clinton is, you know, she epitomizes the washington establishment, and what she's doing honestly is playing right into our hands because she's pointing out the fact that donald trump is not a practiced politician. he is a businessman. i think she's trying to somehow frame the argument that you want a practiced politician and anybody who is not an establishment figure is a loose cannon of sorts, but she doesn't understand where america is at, and donald trump absolutely has his finger on the pulgs of america. it's why he was so successful in the primary. america wants a business leader, an outsider to take our country back, and the more that she says that, the more she's playing right into our narrative which is that he is an outsi

jeff dewitt, thank you. >> thank you. stuart: to the market and your money, the retail ice age, we're calling it that, our theme of the week. department stores taking a hit and fewer shoppers going to the malls. here is kohl's, lower profits, lower sales, it's a big chain 1600 store in america. they blame the weather for the slump in demand for apparel. this continues, the ice age story. ashley: there are a lot of reasons, macy's said a huge one, a 20% drop of international consumers, people coming from overseas as tourists because of the strong dollar, all of that is true, but i think the overall retail landscape is changing, thanks to on-line. people are not spending money on traditional merchandise at traditional department stores. they're changing their spending habits and on-line is a huge part of it. those that don't react quickly enough, the bigger, older named department stores are starting to feel the heat. stuart: and we will show you macy's after a huge drop liz: what ashley is saying, watch this, amazon will r

extreme danger to lamumba's life, and issued an apology and moral responsibility, but the author dewitt has written compellingly that their involvement went much further, and the -- allegations of further cia involvement in that operation have been made beyond the failed poison pill plan that cia station chief there helped direct the search for lamumba when he escaped from his captors, and they were in direct touch with the killers that very night. even the cia agent carried the body around in his trunk for a while. these allegations have not been made as the subject of a government review that i'm aware of. in a very strange twist, just this past april, the british -- a british house of lords member named david lee wrote a letter to the london review of books saying that in 2009 he had a cup of tea with daphne park, who had been british consulate secretary to congo in 1961, and when mr. lee brought up the controversy about lamumba's death and whether mi6 might have been involved, he replied i did. i organized it. there it sits today, i think. there's been no -- no quite so explosive ne

governor, i saw some tweets and some comments from you over the weekend and also speak with jeff dewittaded up the trump team, and everyone was saying you guys were cheated. hough did that work out? >> well, charles, i felt very cheated. everyone knows that i'm a donald trump supporter. if paid my $50 to go to the committee. was on the donald trump slate. and when it came forward, electronically, my name was not populated. so if you push the button for the trump slate, i didn't get a vote. so i lost. first time in 35 years i've lost an election, but we had a cruz slate, we had a trump slate, a kashich slate, unity slate, and then there was the so-called victory slate which i think was a combination of cruz and kashich together. >> governor -- >> we didn't fare too well. but -- >> let me read something to you because we were just contacted by the arizona public -- republican party, and they gave us a statement. like to read it out loud and i want your comment on it former governor brewer was electioned as an alternate from their district and was not one of the top three winners. she came
