was not china? that this was not a 400-pound guy sitting on his bed, as donald trump says, and do these types of tweets and kinds of statements from donald trump imbolden the russians? >> when the report comes out before i leave office that will have drawn together all the threads and so i don't want to step on their work ahead of time. what i can tell you is that the intelligence that i've seen gives me great confidence in their assessment that the russians carried out this hack. >> reporter: which hack? >> the hack of the dnc and the hack of john podesta. now, the -- but, again, i think this is exactly what i want the report out so that everybody can review it. and this has been briefed and the evidence in closed session has been provided by on a bipartisan basis not just to me, it's been provided by to the leaders of the house and the senate and the chairman and ranking members of the relevant committees. and i think that what you've already seen is at least some of the folks who have seen the evidence don't dispute. i think the basic assessment that the russians carried this o

korea, lot of consequences for that. second is china, what we're going to need to do is to have china begin to take their support of north korea more seriously as a -- and their support of essentially propping up an economy that wouldn't otherwise be able to withstand the fact that they don't manufacture anything anymore and to take seriously this is now a threat not just to south korea but to the entire asian peninsula. that is not going to be solved by saying it's their fault. it's easy to say there's problems in the world. there's been problems in the world for a very long time. >> jill dougherty, you've been covering international -- go ahead, admiral. >> don, here is my biggest fear. we had a retired flag conference about a week ago. we often keep either a cruiser or destroyer up there, usually it's a cruiser. it's hard to keep a ship there 24/7. we do have the capability to take out short range and medium range missiles. my fear is what if north korea accidentally -- they launch a weapon and it doesn't go where it supposed to go like the sea of japan where it lands in japan or s

clinton supported bill clinton's disastrous and totally disastrous nafta, like she supported china's entrance into the world trade organization. we've lost nearly one third of our manufacturing jobs since these two hillary backed agreements were signed. among the worst we've ever done, among the most destructive agreements we've ever signed. our trade deficit with china soared 40% during hillary clinton's time as secretary of state. a disgraceful performance for which she should not be congratulated but rather scorned. then she left china -- [ applause ] >> so true. then she left china and what happened is billions and billions of dollars in our intellectual property and china has taken it. and it's a crime which is continuously going on and it's going on right now. they are stealing billions and billions of dollars of our intellectual property. hillary clinton gave china millions of jobs and our best jobs and effectively let china completely rebuild itself. in return, hillary clinton got rich. the book clinton cash documents how bill and hillary used the state department to enrich t

doesn't have the stamina. i know about dealing with china. i've made billions of dollars dealing with china. china can be dealt with and you can get along with them. hillary does not have the strength or the stamina to deal with china or other things. bottom line is, one of the big problems our country has is problems with trade, where you have china, japan, mexico, so many countries, just ripping us left and right. the politicians cannot handle that problem. two reasons, number one, they don't have the competence to do it. number two, most of them are paid off through campaign contributions so they don't touch certain things that the people want touched. when people are making less money in real wages than they were 18 years ago and then some people say, wow, he had a big crowd. that's one of the big reasons. you have people making less money today as you know, because you see every stat, less money today, david, than they made 18 years ago and in some cases, they are working two jobs. so they are getting older and working harder. it shouldn't be that way. >> you are not worried abou

, where you wore one of his ties made in china. i would add that i'm sitting in, i'm in cleveland today, unfortunately snowy cleveland, wearing a suit made by union workers, about five miles from here, and that plant hires several hundred americans and when i hear donald trump talking about making america great again and then makes a lot of money apparently by outsourcing jobs to china, and then he talks a good game on trade policy, it just makes me question a whole lot of things and i think his tax returns would indicate a lot if he ever releases them. of course he doesn't have to, with all the media pressure but i think it shows some issues that people will think about. >> for the record i wore that trump tie to make that point. >> i know. >> just for the viewer. let's talk about trade, senator, because it's an issue where donald trump seems to be actually trying to run to the left of hillary clinton. take a look at one of your re-election campaign ads from 2012. >> sure. >> sherrod brown is calling for action against cheating china. >> they don't play fair and we've got to figh

organized criminal groups. the same on china as well. so these are sophisticated capabilities but, in terms of whether or not russia is involved in our election system right now, i don't know. you have to ask the russians. i would tell you that what we have to protect is we have to protect our political system as much as we have to protect our defense systems. right now, i feel like we are way behind in many areas, particularly in the capacity, what i would describe as the numbers of people we need in our own country. there are some estimate that is we need between 700,000 and 1 million new workers in the field of cyber between now and 2025. we have a lot to do to get up to speed in this new domain of cyber. >> you heard president obama saying when it comes to cyber capabilities, the u.s. is by far the best and can deal with it defensively better than anyone and offensively better than anyone. it sounded to me like he was issuing a not so settle threat to the russians, chinese, north koreans, russians, whoever may be involved. you want to play this game? we can do it better than you. >> wha

, terry branstad. he's going to name him to be the ambassador to china here. of course, a key piece of his foreign policy, his trade relationship. that is one part that's different here tonight. mike pence is also joining him for the first time, anderson, making the case here to thank voters but also sort of pivot from the campaign to the realities of governing. >> and today trump announced his pick for labor secretary. what can you tell us about him? >> reporter: well, anderson, we can tell you that this is a gentleman who is the ceo of hardee's restaurant and carl's jr. restaurant. it's a fast food chain across the country, a hamburger joint basically, has been in the private sector his entire life. so in terms of labor secretary, it will be someone with the least government experience in recent memory. this is someone who has opposed increasing cost of living salaries and the minimum wage. this is someone who has been strongly opposed to the affordable care act and many other regulations in the obama administration. not surprisingly, this is a conservative pick. he was a top fund-ra

% growth rate. but after china joined the world trade organization, our average growth rate has been reduced to only 2%. predator trade practices, product dumping, currency manipulation which is a big one, and intellectual property theft has taken millions of jobs and trillions of dollars of wealth right out of our country. right out of our country. so sad that we allowed this to happen. our incompetent politicians were not watching and the ones that were watching were taken care of in some form. because this should have never allowed, been allowed to happen. there is no great secret that many of the special interests funding my opponent's campaign are the same people profiting from these terrible trade deals. they are terrible. they're terrible for everybody. the same so-called experts advising hillary clinton are the same people who gave us nafta, china's entry into the world trade organization, the job-killing trade deal with south korea, another disaster, and now the transpacific partnership that they're pushing so strongly. the verdict is in. they just race to comment and race t

. china, meanwhile, is laying blame in the south china sea. will president obama confront them? >>> also, does turkey concern obama? its nato's second largest army and a crucial american ally. i asked president obama what he thinks is motivating the unqualified support that working-class whites seem to have for donald trump. >> i think we have to pay close attention to what is going on. >> then, understanding trump's trip to mexico from the mexican perspective. former foreign minister tells us what his country thinks of donald trump now. but first, here's my take. as we are all consumed with the ups and downs of this bizarre campaign, president obama is on his last trip in office to asia. one of the purposes of the trip is to breathe life in to one of the ideas that has animated his foreign policy, the pivot to asia. it's a big idea and it's the right approach but obama is now the last man standing who is willing to push for it. foreign policy is consumed with momentary crises. in the long run, the future is defined by the winners, not the losers. and when the flashpoints of tu

washington approach this region? one central task is obviously to prevent china from dominating it. that job has been made somewhat easier by beijing's recent expansionist moves, especially in the south china sea, months that have alienated other countries. china is not the soviet union, but rather the most important trading partner for every country in asia. until recently the state department's top asia man, is to bolster asia's operating system. in other words the arrangements that have built peace and prosperity in asia for decades, like free trade, freedom of navigation, multilateral groupings and institutions and the peaceful resolution of disputes. the most important of these right now, campbell notes is trade. the transpacific partnership is -- it boosts growth, shores up american alliances, sends a powerful signal to china and as president obama points out, writes the rules of the 21st century in ways that are fundamentally pro american. without it expect china to begin drafting those rules in ways that will be very different very soon. yet the tpp is under assault from every co

he also said it's up to china. he said china can solve this problem in one day. so what is it, talk to kim jong-un, have china do it? where do you and donald trump stand on this crisis right now with north korea? >> well, i think the nuclear test, the firing the three ballistic missiles during the g20, it's the kind of provocation we've grown accustomed to from the regime in north korea. but donald trump is exactly right. north korea operates within the sphere and under the enormous influence of china. and sitting down with china and explaining to them that we need them to step up and lean in and make it very, very clear that these provocations are no longer acceptable, leaving aside the repression of its people, will be a very, very important part of foreign policy in that region. >> so if you're vice president and he's president, i know you shared the foreign committee for a decade when you were in the house, what will it be, have china deal with this, or would the u.s. take initiative and talk with kim jong-un? >> i think that would be a decision for the president to make and i w

on the inside was leaking the most sensitive naval security secrets to china. watch as the fbi goes undercover to bring a team of spies to justice. >> in the fbi we have to follow principles, policies and laws. and one of those is we have to have the evidence. our greatest fear initially is will we catch chi mak doing what he thought he was already doing? >> the thing that hit me hardest about this case was that we've got a man who came here for better opportunity and, in fact, was the spy sent by klichina to come here, pledge allegiance to the united states. he took an oath with the full intention of betraying it. he lived in this country for decades and was willing to put in danger members of our military. there was a lot of pressure on all of us. i wanted to stop that leak. i wanted to stop chi mak from providing any information that would endanger u.s. servicemen. that's why i wanted to catch him. and to protect our people. >> joining me now is mike rogers. he's the host of the cnn original series "declassified." he's a cnn national security contributor as well. all the episodes

convince the neighbors, most particularly china, that this is not just a u.s. issue. and i think we have an opening here that we have not had for the last several years, that i intend to do everything i can to take advantage of. we're also going to support and equip our allies in the region with the missile defense systems they require to protect themselves. that is not something the north koreans, the chinese, are pleased about, what but is the alternative? we are not going to let anyone that is an ally -- that is absolutely a bottom line, and if other countries want to assist us in this effort, we welcome that, and we will engage in intensive discussion. >> you put out a statement earlier today saying you support president obama's call for additional sanctions on north korea, but they have faced sanctions for years and it clearly has not stopped them from moving forward, how will a few more sanctions help and would you consider the kinds of negotiations that you push for with iran? >> the answer of the second question is yes. we faced a similar problem in 2009. as a senator i vote

deals in china and imposing tariffs on goods imported from mexico by companies based in united states. not just economic policies but they are going to have major diplomatic and foreign policy implications. from what donald trump has talked about so far in just dealing with mexico has to have a lot of people on edge over at the state department, wolf. because that is going to be a major departure from what the obama administration has been pursuing over the last eight years, wolf. >> in washington, we're awaiting the start of donald trump's speech. we'll see who introduces him over there and get back to you, jim. stand by. i want to get a political assessment of what's going on right now. gloria borger, this is a clear effort by the trump campaign to show a more presidential side of this candidate. >> right. and i think they understand he's not only been attacked by hillary clinton on his foreign policy views and that if he becomes the nominee, he would run a former secretary of state and contains certain vulnerabilities but certain strengths and he's also been under attack by his own

result of nafta and as a result of the china trade policy that the clintons brought us the last time they were in the white house. and will bring more of if they get back -- >> so on trade -- >> the trans-pacific partnership. >> this is something that has resonated with so many voters, especially those along the rust belt, those who have lost good paying manufacturing jobs. you know, when you look at clinton who she called tpp the gold standard before. she's against that trade proposal. but to curtis' point on these trade deals do we need to hear a different message from her on how she'd work to reform the deals? >> she made it very clear in this tour and before that she will not approve the trans-pacific partnership, that she will only enter into trade deals that benefit the u.s., that she'd adopt a trade prosecutor to prosecute violations of trade by our trading partners who are taking advantage of us. that she'd go after china's manipulation of currency. she has made it really clear that she's going to be tough on trade and make insure that jobs are created in america. unlike donald tr

trade agreement, or the disaster called nafta. second, china's entry into the world trade organization. nafta was the worst trade deal in the history -- it's like -- the history of this country. and china's entrance into the world trade organization has enabled the greatest job theft in the history of our country. it was bill clinton who signed nafta. people don't remember. in 1993. and hillary clinton, who supported it, and the havoc that it wreaked after he left office was unbelievable. it was also bill clinton who lobbied for china's disastrous entry into the world trade organization, and hillary clinton who backed that terrible, terrible agreement. then as secretary of state, hillary clinton stood by idly while china cheated on its currency, added another trillion dollars to our trade deficits and stole hundreds of billions of dollars in our intellectual property. and i've been talking about china for many years. and you know what? nobody listened. but they're listening now, that i can tell you. the city of pittsburgh and the state of pennsylvania have lost one-third o

over the place. i hear china is brutal. they say russia is excellent. and you have guys sitting in their home that are very good. you have people, men and women, sitting in their homes that are better than the people that are the inventors. i don't know. there's something about -- you know, general douglas macarthur, right? had a guy come say, sir, here it is. the risk is from there to there. general george patton. i guarantee you general george patton who was rough as hell, he wouldn't be doing e-mails when he's going to be ready to attack. if he were around, he'd say, i don't like that system at all. >> [ inaudible audience comment ]. >> thank you, darling. i love you. i love you and i think it's a guy. i don't know. who the hell cares. oh, no, it's not. beautiful. thank you very much. thank you very much. now i see you. i like that much better. i appreciate that. thank you, honey. i don't know. hey, the thousands of people on the other side that the fire marshals aren't being very nice to, they don't love me so much right now. but that's okay. and we're going to come over and se

. and in friendship with russia and china, we have serious differences with these two nations, and must regard them with open eyes. but we are not bound to be adversaries. we should seek common ground based on shared interests. russia, for instance, has also seen the horror of islamic terrorism. i believe an easing of tensions and improved relations with russia from a position of strength only is possible, absolutely possible. common sense says this cycle, this horrible cycle of hostility must end and ideally, would end soon. good for both countries. some say the russians won't be reasonable. i intend to find out. if we can't make a deal under my administration, a deal that's great, not good, great for america, but also good for russia, then we will quickly walk from the table. it's as simple as that. we're going to find out. fixing our relations with china is another important step in really creating for a more prosperous time. china respects strength and by letting them take advantage of us economically, which they are doing like never before, we have lost all of their respect. w

of the asians, china or india or japan, i think that's a very different world. one of the reasons why you don't -- why you have a manageable relationship with china now is because you have trade with them. it's enormous. it's mutually beneficial. both sides want to maintain that relationsh relationship. if you didn't, it would be like the soviet union during the cold war when you had negligible trade and while you still had to find ways to work together but it's much harder. the tpp doesn't include chien nashgs though some people think it does. but the tpp points the direction toward the world, toward the whole orientation of your society and if you set the wrong direction, maybe in the next 50 years some time you will turn around, but it will cost you many years and the world will have to pay quite a high price. >> my name is lee nguyen from the business times in singapore. good afternoon, prime minister lee and president obama. the first question is just a follow up to the tpp. everyone knows what's at stake, but what is the future of the tpp if it does not get ratified by janua

picks. that is donald trump's choice to be the next u.s. ambassador to china. >>> thank you, sara. one reason trump picked the ambassador to china is the decades long relationship with xi jinping. offering background with the friendship of the governor and communist president, let's bring in matt rivers live in beijing. one thing that came to mind when i saw the nomination is trump hasn't been too kind to china. maybe branstad will clean up the mess? >> reporter: it seems to be an olive branch, if you will, to the president-elect to china after what is a week of tense relations with the president-elect and counterparts here in china. this is a relationship with president xi jinping in china and governor branstad. president jinping has a 31-year-old bureurocrat at the time and he said that visit helped shaped his visit of what america is. fast forward to 2012, jinping is the vice president getting to be president in 2013. he went back to iowa. governor branstad was in charge of the state visits. the two men both say they have a close relationship with one another. that is something

, our nation is in serious trouble. we're being killed on trade. absolutely destroyed. china is just taking advantage of us. i have nothing against china. i have great respect for china. but their leaders are too smart for our leaders. our leaders don't have a clue. and the trade deficit is at $400 billion and $500 billion are too much. no country can sustain that kind of trade deficit. it won't be that way for long. we have the greatest business leaders in the world on my team already, and believe me, we're going to redo those trade deals and it's going to be a thing of beauty. you look at countries like mexico where they're killing us on the border. absolutely destroying us on the border. they're destroying us in terms of economic development. companies like carrier air conditioner just moving into mexico. ford moving into mexico. nabisco closing up shop in chicago and moving into mexico. we have to stop it, folks. i know how to stop it. we're going to create jobs. we're going to create jobs like you've never seen. we're going to lower taxes. i have a plan that larry kudlow and so

country, and he slammed the transpacific partnership deal with china. this is what he had to say. >> all i'm saying is this, that if china doesn't make this horrendous deal that we have with them, which is sort of a nondeal, it's only a one-way, one-sided deal, i want to renegotiate a deal. i want to terminate the deal and do a good deal, and that's all i want. >> so if the you were advising donald trump today, what would you tell him to do when it comes to renegotiating with china? >> well, i think renegotiating with china makes lots of sense. there clearly has been currency manipulation in china and in japan, but you should never retaliate by putting on trade barriers of our own. you know, trade is not about jobs. it's not about ross perot and mexico. it's about the quality of your income. we make some things better than foreigners and foreigners make some things better than we do. we and they would be foolish in the extreme if we didn't sell them those things we make better than they do in exchange for things they make better than we do. it's win/win. that's what trade is abou

: well, this advertisement has created quite the storm in china with many people on line calling the commercial for a type of laundry detergent unequivocally racist, and once you see it, it's not hard to see why. the ad features a chinese woman and a black man flirting. he strides over to her, and when he leans in for a kiss, she pops a capsule in his mouth and throws him in the machine. waits, e opens it, and a smiling chinese man pops out to the woman's delight. it's incredibly offensive and sparked backlash. one user wrote, quote, my god, don't chinese marketing pashlgting people get any education about race? another, if you don't understand why it's racist, congratulations, you're a racist. the ad appears to be a blatant ripoff of a similarly criticized italian laundry commercial from the 2000s, he's washed with colored detergent and emerges a muscular black man saying color is better. a large number of africans live in china. there have been complaints of prejudice against people with darker skin across the country. cnn reached out to the company behind the ad burr received no r

china more. sthe said the u.s. has more leverage than some people might realize and it is also time, she said, for more sanctions on north korea. but she also focused her time, anderson, on the interview, we've been talking about on state television in russia. the donald trump gabe. she was walking away from the podium. she came back to answer the question and this is what she said. >> secretary clinton, do you have a response to donald trump appearing on russian television? >> every day that goes by this just becomes more and more of a reality television show. it is not a serious presidential campaign and it is beyond one's imagination to have candidate for president praising a russian like putin and throwing his lot in with him in the way that he has approved of his wish list and not even really understanding what putin has already done like invading and occupying crimea. >> so clearly using that answer there as another avenue for her to question donald trump's judgment, anderson, she has doing it all week long as they've been having a running audition for who would be the better

>>> breaking overnight. market mayhem. china shuts down trading after a free fall. get ready for ugliness in the u.s. as well. >>> donald trump and ted cruz digging in their heels on the issue of ted cruz's eligibility for the presidency. both sit down to talk to cnn. the time for playing nice, it appears, is over. >>> and information coming in over north korea's claim of a hydrogen bomb. >>> good morning. welcome to "early start." i'm john berman. >> i'm christine romans. let's start with the breaking news. turmoil in china. the trading day stopped as soon as it began. plunged at the open for shanghai. the shenzhen market is down 8.3%. some are saying the circuit breakers are causing more unease. the second time this week trading has been halted. china issued new regulations limiting the number of shares traders can share every quarter. the report of china's economy is slowing down and the currency. the european markets are lower. they are concerned about what is happening in the chinese markets and economy. those are big moves. frankfu frankfurt, 3%. futures here in the u.s., a

campaigning in the critical state of ohio. in china, president obama met one on one with russian president vladimir putin for about 90 minutes at g20 summit. mr. obama said he would talk it putin about alleged russian cyber attacks aimed at influencing the upcoming u.s. election. president described their talk as blunt. and washington is condemning latest missile launches by north korea and dictator kim jong-un. three missiles filed toward the sea of japan without warning in a move experts say is coinciding with the g20 in neighboring china. we're covering all of that and much more with our guest, sean duffy. and our correspondents, also standing by. let's begin with the trump campaign. our political reporter sarah murray is following the gop nominee for us. sarah, trump now seems to be taking a fundamentally different stance on undocumented immigrant. >> if donald trump is campaigning in a pivotal battle ground state of ohio and overshadowing his jobs and a softer tone saying el deal later with how he will cope with millions of undocumented immigrant in the u.s. donald trump's m

the first african-american to his cabinet and he's gone on a twitter tirade against china. this after chinese officials lodged a complaint with the u.s. over trump's phone call with the president of taiwan. now, trump tweeted this. did china ask us if it was okay to devalue their currency making it harder for our companies to compete, heavily tax our products, going into their country? the u.s. doesn't tax them. or to build a massive military complex in the middle of the south china sea? i don't think so. we should point out, however, the u.s. does impose a small tax on chinese goods. i want to bring in cnn's jessica schneider joining us from trump tower. first, the white house just commented on trump's slam at china. tell us what obama administration officials are saying. >> reporter: well, press secretary josh earnest confirming the white house has been in touch with chinese counterparts reaffirming one china policy, reaffirming beijing's to taiwan. this is to promote stability and peace and then punted it back to the trump team, telling them that they should explain if they f

prior to the major trade deals that hillary clinton helped enter into in terms of nafta, and china, and south korea and the fta. so this will be a comprehensive plan creating millions of jobs for american workers. it will create trillions of dollars over decades so that we can pay for infrastructure, medicare, social security and our national defense. and it's really truly visionary and goes back to the expert of ronald reagan. and i think people will be really pleased when they hear all the things that are in there for the american people and worker and manufacturers. >> andy, jump in here. because look, the jobs numbers were strong but you still have wage growth that is improving. but it's at 2.6%. and the fed always notes you need at least 3.5% wage growth to really have a strong economy so a lot of americans are feeling this. they see the economy growing at 1.2% and they want more. >> absolutely, i think the economy, the track record that president obama has is a strong one. there are 14 million jobs created, but clearly a lot more needs to be done. secretary clinton has a plan to r

. >>> if there was an express way to cause a diplomatic uproar with china this would be the way to do it. >> this was a moment of courtesy, not a discussion about policy. >> secretary of state is incredibly important position. >> is it right to make false statements? >> he's right to express his opinions. >> it's fake news story triggered an actual armed confrontation. >> this is "new day" with chris cuomo, and alisyn camerota. >> good morning, welcome to your "new day." up first, at least 33 people are dead. dozens are still missing in this massive warehouse party fire in oakland, california. and the worst news is, that number is not the end tally. it's expected to climb higher. investigators aren't even through half the building yet. there's a lot of heavy and labored debris and there are a lot of people still missing. >> there are also criminal investigators at the scene looking for the cause of this inferno. families and friendsle of those still missing are enduring this agonizing wait for answers. this is the deadliest building fire in the u.s. in more nan a decade. cnn's stephanie

ballistic missiles. a lot going on. we want to begin with michelle kosinski live in china. good morning, michelle. >> reporter: hi, john. yeah, a lot of what the president is trying to do here is manage relationships, deal with relationships that are in some cases extremely difficult, including the relationship with china itself. the president sat down with the president of china for four hours during this trip. keep in mind, this is likely the president's last trip to asia, the last time he'll get the chance to have these conversations, which are difficult. the president said that, you know, some of what he's going to be discussing will be areas in which he and these other countries are don't agree, including human rights. he also sat down with the leader of turkey. that relationship has also been strained lately. what's really causing a buzz is the meeting the president just came out of with russian president vladimir putin. these face-to-face meetings almost never happen. part of that is because of the relationship itself, how difficult it's been. just a few days ago, preside

september when i saw president putin in china, i felt that the most effective way to ensure that that didn't happen was to talk to him directly. and tell him to cut it out and there was going to be some serious consequences if he didn't. in fact, we did not see further tampering of the election process. >> that's not what donna brazille says. she says they were trying to hack the dnc, phil mudd, almost on a daily basis. what do you think about that as a strategy and whether or not it's been effective. >> i don't think it's been effective yet. this goes back to the 1990s and the dawn of the digital age. the chinese and the russians have been stealing american military secrets. forget about the secrets from the dnc for a long time. i think senator mccain and chuck schumer are right. there has to be a broader conversation in the congress outside individual committees about how we move forward to ensure we can protect ourselves during the election of 2020. this isn't about what's happened. this is a big issue. i don't think a presidential statement behind the scenes to putin makes much di

would put a lot of pressure on china because economically, we have tremendous power over china, china can solve that problem with one meeting or one phone call. >> the landslide i mentioned in yesterday's oregon primary where trump carried two-thirds of the republican vote. keep in mind, oregon votes may mail, and when the ballots went out, ted cruz and john kasich were still in the race, so people would, you know, vote for whomever is on the ballot presumably. he collects at least 18 of oregon's 28 republican delegates putting him by our estimation 62 delegates shy now of that magic winning number up in the right-hand corner of your screen, 1,237. welcome to my panel. a senior advisor to the trump campaign, and former contestant on the trump reality show "the apprentice," ben howe, a conservative writer, contributing editor to redstate.com and vehement donald trump critic and ryancillizza. you don't get more establishment than henry kissinger. but kissinger has been critical of donald trump. he's opposed of the muslim ban. he would be more comfy with another nominee. he said glowing

is coming from south korea, japan and china. china being a very unique story. will ripley, thank you for that. keep digging and we will touch you throughout the day about this developing north korean story. >>> coming up next, more local politics. all politics are local when it is the presidential race. the obama berther controversy. yes, i said it. it won't die. if donald trump's aides say that he believes the president was born in the united states, then why won't he just say it. when he won't just admit that he no longer believes that, then doesn't it just keep it going. we're going to talk about that in a moment. and you're talking to your doctor about your medication... this is humira. this is humira helping to relieve my pain and protect my joints from further damage. this is humira helping me go further. humira works for many adults. it targets and helps to block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to ra symptoms. doctors have been prescribing humira for over 13 years. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes

friendship with russia and china. >> reporter: rather than go into specifics. >> we must, as a nation, be more unpredictable. we are totally predictable. ♪ >> reporter: after his five-state sweep on tuesday, trump is feeling more secure than ever in his front-runner status. >> i consider myself the presumptive nominee. >> reporter: to clench the nomination he needs 49% of the remaining delegates to hit that magic 1,237. today he has won about 50.2% of the delegates. if he keeps up his current pace, the nomination should be within his grasp. for trump, it's a sign the strategy that got him this far is working. >> we have a football team and you're winning and then you get to the super bowl. you don't change your quarterback, right? so i'm not changing. ♪ eye of the tiger >> reporter: that general election fight could be brutal is, as trump tries out an even sharper tone against clinton, questioning whether she has any credentials beyond her gender. >> frankly, if hilla clinton were a man, i don't think she would get 5% of the vote. the only thing she's got going is the woman's card

china sea. they have to stop hacking everything we have in this country or we'll take out their systems. we will arm the ukrainians so they have lethal defensive said. we will destroy isis and mr. putin, you better understand you're either with us or against us. we're not rattling a sword, you're not our enmiemy but we'r not going to put up with this any longer. where has america gone is what many of our allies say around the world? when i'm president, they'll know exactly where we are because we're coming back. >> while we're discussing issues of importance to floridians, i reached out to the republican mayor of miami to find out what he wanted to hear from you this morning. he told me, quote, climate change means rising ocean levels, which in south florida means flooding downtown and our neighborhoods. it's an every day problem in our neighborhoods. as president, will you pledge to do something about it? senator rubio, the miami mayor has endorsed you. will you honor his request for a pledge and acknowledge the reality of the scientific consensus of climate change and pledge t

deportees back. the prominent country in that group would be china. if we have someone convicted here, china will notary public accept them. we're paying for their cost of incarceration anyone. under a 2001 supreme court decision, i think it was linthiuni a be u.s. is obligated to release them. we're talking about changing the law as decided by the supreme court if donald trump is going to try force china to send these -- to accept them back or for the united states to keep them locked up here. again, looking at the broad picture, the outlines of donald trump's plan involved getting into a dispute with china, our number one trading partner. getting into a potential dispute with mexico over paying for his wall. he's gone back and forth about who will pay for it. over the weekend he said mexico will reimburse us, but he said mexico will pay for that wall. there is some confusion about what his plan is. it's important to remember no matter whose polling you look at, cnn, washington times, the american public does not favor the border wall as a solution. they favor legalization. some
