fred barnes, no less. you think we've got it right, fred, that it really is almost certainly going to be trump-hillary? >> indeed. i think that's true. hillary, oddly enough, has probably an even better chance of winning the democratic nomination of trump does to win the republican nomination, though he has an awfully good chance, too, practically unstoppable. maybe nine of the ten primaries and maybe all ten of them. and how about this as a proposition, fred barnes. without trump the republicans can't win, they can't get the enthusiasm, without trump they can't win. >> i don't think that's true, with all due respect, stuart. i think the can't win with trump. they could win if marco rubio were the nominee and even with john kasich as the nominee. stuart: whoa. >> the problem with trump is, not that democrats are putting together this huge campaign to run against him, they'd be doing that against any republican candidate, though they seem to be more inspired if it's going to be trump, the problem is defecti

fred barns, you have been around for a while, but i'm sure you haven't seen anything like this presidential race. the stakes are high particularly for marco rubio. >> they are high for him. he has declared he will win in florida. and the chances are not very good. he's been 20 points behind and he stayed 20 points behind. cruz isn't helping out. he's not helping rubio defeat donald trump. that was an idea going around, the division of labor. it looks like trump is going to win and the opposition will be divided as ever. charles: one could argue if rubio would drop out it gives cruz a chance to win north carolina and perhaps some other states. >> i think this race hinges on ohio and what's going to happen march 15 because you are talking about john kasich and the recent poll is actually off. he's a sitting governor who won his state in 2014 with almost 70% of the vote with an approval rating of 80% as a sitting governor. i think the likelihood of john kasich carrying ohio is pretty strong given that scenario. there is a possibility we are entering into a potential brokered convention for the

and joining us now is fred barnes, fox news contributor."the real story." and i enjoy speaking to people like you who have covered politics for so long and so many years, and you must just have so many memories of the reagans in general and of nancy reagan herself. i know you have one specific about her very famous just say no campaign. >> we look back at that campaign which of course was to discourage among young people the use of drugs and alcohol. and when it began, she was mocked for doing this. the press said what does she know about addiction and alcohol use among young people. well, i went with her on one of her excursions, it was at denison university in ohio. and she was a different person. she was completely different from the way we would see her publicly in washington. she was playful, she was funny. she was gossipy. she would hug the students. and they responded very well. i mean she was very good at this program. and i think this is going to be a part of her legacy it worked so well. earlier chris talked about the details that

david: here to weigh in, fred barnes, executive editor of "weekly standard,." lso a fox news contributor. fred, without getting into the weeds of this case, there are a whole lot of different elements. it fits into the narrative of lying cruz as donald trump would say it. looks similar what happened to ben carson. you know donald trump will use it to inflate even further his lying cruz charge. >> yeah, no quote about it. seems like a trivial thing in politics, particularly in political campaigns, small things get blown out of proportion and become big issues. this looks like one of them. david: great point. how could cnn get so wrong? the reporter claimed she got it directly from somebody on the rubio team. they say not so. either she is not telling the truth or they're not sell telling the truth. what do you think happened? >> i think she probably got it right but didn't reflect the whole rubio campaign. i mean, look, after rubio did so poorly last weekend in those four contests, super saturday, there are bound to be people in the rubio campaign shaking their h

we are joined by fred barnes of the weekly standard who covered the reagan white house along with formerthe whole studio got quiet listening to that. you could see the wind passing through the trees. she will be buried next to her husband at the reagan library, but more important at this moment to talk not just about the amazing love affair she had with her husband ronald reagan, but who she was as a person. way more than reflecting -- basking in the reflected glory of her husband? >> absolutely. she was a strong person. she was the rock so to speak of that relationship, and i tell people a story about liberty state park, when i did the event with president reagan with him standing in front of the statue of liberty, one of the hall makers of this campaign. she was on the stage with him, and she was so proud and so happy and delighted to be in new jersey and to be a proud american. the patriotic side of nancy reagan doesn't come out as much as it should. liz: to be delighted to be in new jersey is an exciting moment. i can say that, i live in new jersey.

long-time passenger fred barnes rides almost daily. he's hoping there's added attention to the area where the mudslide derail edmond's train. >> i've got through there at 4:00 in the morning going to work and there have been rocks on the street from rock slides. >> reporter: union pacific owns the tracks and is leading the investigation. spokesman francisco castillo said a weather team sent track inspectors to check that very stretch around 5:00 monday morning. everything looked fine. union pacific is looking at the possibility of installing slide detector fences, but will probably pass because, castillo says, there hasn't been a landslide there in at least 20 years. >> i think they keep it pretty clear most of the time. i've been riding about a year and haven't had any other issues like that before. >> i think they're going to take a sharper look at it because it's going to need to be addressed, even though we've been in a drought for years now. we get a couple big rainstorms like this and things are going to move. >> reporter: i also

fred barnes is here. donald trump won very big in ohio coal country among democrats.y much your story. this plays toward trump as the working class guy here. >> well, he is the working class guy. i mean, from the very beginning, you know, back a couple of years ago, he was reading rick santorum's book, blue collar conservatives, he was looking into this group as people he could attract if he runs for president and of course, he is. the interesting poll to look at yesterday, exit poll was in missouri where cruz and trump were basically tied. trump won along one of the measures that you look to define the working class and that's education, people who have a high school education or less and some college. trump won that group and the other one is income. and you know, 50,000 or less, actually cruz finished a little ahead of him in that group, but when you expanded into the middle class, you know, people who make less than 100,000 a year, trump won that and it shows you somewhat the broadness, the breadth of trump's appeal and that's important. the other thing is, by 2-1

i'm joined by a democratic strategist and fred barns, editor at the weekly standard and a fox news contributorto you. fred, i want to begin with you. because we just heard from donald trump. >> uh-huh. liz: taking swipes from everybody to elizabeth warren to hillary clinton and hillary clinton already spoke. at what point do we look at what happens tomorrow in arizona and can you guess what happens there? and who's really in the lead? >> well, sure. trump's in the lead there. but i mean, look, arizona's the state to watch. if trump succeeds, you know, he's had his press conference. he's going to get to the 1237 to lock up the nomination. . liz: do you believe that? >> well, i can believe it if he wins in arizona, it makes it believable. but if ted cruz upsets him in arizona, that will be a huge monkey wrench. and i think it will mean that trump cannot get to the 1237, at least before the convention. liz: it's so interesting, emily, to see that the republicans have the same conversation going on as the democrats do. and that is trying to push aside the laggers. whether that is the john kasich o

fred, to have a republican nominee before cleveland or at cleveland? mr. barnes at cleveland, but the candidate going into the convention, and i think it will be donald trump, close to the majority of delegates will easily get enough to be the nominee. mr. schlapp: before or after? mr. barnes: i'm sorry? mr. schlapp: wrapped up by cleveland? mr. barnes: not close, but quite. britney?pp: ms. kaiser: on the way to cleveland, i think they will bems. kaiser: to close contenders and i think there will be a variety of races that will not make that much of a difference between now and then. i think that what the candidates stand for and what they decide to rally around issue wise is going to be more important than the actual candidates. kellyanne?: ms. conway: yes, we will, and it will not be somebody totally from the outside to cannot win fair and square and inserted into the blank at the last minute. it will be someone to a masten of delegates. i think if rubio drops out to endorse cruz, it could be cruz. ?r. schlapp: charlie mr. hurt: you should never look to me for

stuart: all right, fred barns, i don't think there's a chance of kasich dropping out any time soon. the convention. that's what he wants to do. >> probably so. stuart: thank you for being with us this good friday morning. appreciate it. >> i enjoyed it. stuart: okay. this is getting ugly. you know, this spat between donald trump and ted cruz over their wives. it's a full on spousal spat. cruz calls trump a sniveling coward. more on that in a moment. and tonight, wall street week 8:00. the fox business network new hit show. watch it. stuart: a reading on the big picture economy coming out this morning. it's not that good. in fact, it's rather weak. the growth rate analyzed just 1.4%. joe friedman is with us. the economics professor at umass. i'm going to say he is on the socialist side of the ledger. he is a socialist. you're nodding. so you're agreeing with that characteristic. i'm glad we both smile because we're on opposite sides of the fence on this one. i just want you to explain to me. if hillary clinton is elected the president, and she spends a lot more money on education and

concern me hearing fred smith say this is that it doesn't mean amazon has to create an entire fed ex to really disrupt the industry just like it didn't have to build out an entire barnes noble to change retailing. amazon already spends, i'm looking at the 10k here and the 2015 number, $11.5 billion on shipping cost and that grew 32% year over year and also has shipping revenue because it gets revenue from the sellers that operate on its platform but it's quickly approaching $15 billion a year on spending for shipping. for a company as efficient as amazon do you think they're not looking to optimize that? >> that play is getting the most play. what's interesting is that fed ex cfo said he thinks she should be paying more for delivery. so yes they're spending and cutting capex into their network but he thinks some of the cost should be shouldered by the price of shipping going up to reflect what they are spending. that's going to be a tough thing to get some of your clients to do. >> certainly we spent quarters talking about people trading down in shipping costs and that was a big reason for the stock's long time pattern until the past couple of months. >> and amazon sn
