>> Would you be more likely to name a female vp should you get the nomination to counter Hillary Clinton's gender?
DT: It's possible. There are a couple that are really very good.
It's possible. I don't know that it counters her gender. I don't think she does well with women, frankly. You know, her poll numbers are very bad with women. But I watched her last night and I said it. I mean, Hillary Clinton is playing the woman's card to a fare thee well. The only thing she has going. I said if she was a man she wouldn't get 5% of the vote.

Full Transcript:

Welt, Donald Trump had a really good day yesterday and he won the five primaries. He joins us right now on the phone. Donald Trump, we saw you on TV last night. How did you celebrate the big win?
>> Well, I was up early this morning. I did a couple of shows. But yours has to always be in that list, otherwise, I would be in big trouble with you folks and that would not be a pleasant day.
>> Right.
>> But --
>> How'd you celebrate?
>> I didn't really celebrate. You know, I like to celebrate when things are over. We're just about there. You have two people that are really hanging around and they did very poorly last night. You know, we very much exceeded what everybody thought. I mean, we're in the 60s. You know, it's very hard to get into the 60s when you have three people. Very, very hard and I'm in the 60s. If you look at Pennsylvania, I got most of those delegates tied up by the way, on the record I can say that. Most of the people are tied up now.
>> What do you mean?
>> Well, the -- most of -- as you know, I won only 17 by winning the state in a landslide. Only win 17, because the whole system is horrible. And it's just a horrible system. This whole delegate system, but nevertheless, we have tied up many of the delegates. They were trump delegates, so they're officially ours. It's the substantial number, like 26 or something in addition to the 17. Then the rest of them we will be able to get. But think of it, I win the state in a landslide and you have Cruz and his minions going out and trying to sign people. He came in third place. Sign -- trying to sign people, desperately, you know, taking them out to coffee and to dinner and to steak and to the hotels. Trying to sign people to -- this is not the process. This is not the American way. And it's frankly, it's very disgusting. But we had a tremendous night and a tremendous victory. Far greater than even the polls thought we were going to do.
>> A lot of people were saying, it will be a contested convention.
Then we see the results this morning after last night. Many of the stasis titions said you had to get over a hundred delegates and you did that. People are thinking, all right, maybe this is not going to go to the contested convention. I know you said that all along. Do you consider this a turning poijt or what do you say -- point or what do you say to the voters who are thinking differently?
>> No I think it's not a turning point. I think New York was a turning point last week. I got almost 100% of the delegates. 95 delegates, we got almost all of them. We got 62%, you know, again, with three people. The point is if you had two people, 62% is a good number. But against three people, 62% is hard to get. I got it. And this week we did almost the same except with a more diverse group. You know from Delaware to Rhode Island and then you have Pennsylvania and Maryland and Connecticut, and, you know, it's a very diverse group. I won them all conclusively. It wasn't even close. We got most of the delegates. So it was -- actually, we got -- I guess you have the count better than I would. But we far -- yeah, we were happy with 80. I think we got more than 105, right.
>> So Donald Trump, I have to ask you, you said in your address you don't change quarterbacks in the middle -- as you get into the super bowl. You don't change quarterbacks. I was wondering if that meant behind the scenes because there's some talk behind the scenes that Corey Lewandowski is back, front and center and maybe the new guys have stepped back. Were you feeling as though you were leaving your personality a bit and being less flamboyant and now Corey Lewandowski stepped back and now Corey Lewandowski is stepping forward again?
>> No, there's harmony behind the scenes. These magazines like politico papers who writes without calling me. I understand what's going on. They get along great, Paul and Corey and the whole group get along great. They'll write a story. It's almost as though they're like, write a story on trump. They don't call anybody. They don't talk to anybody and they write a story. It's always a good story, you know, because they write that oh, well, they're fighting.
They're really not. I'm telling you, they're not. I'm the only one who knows. I would be able to -- you know what? You folks I would tell. You're the only ones I could tell, you know? But Brian, they get along great. Different responsibilities. Paul is focused on delegates which is a good responsibility. That's why with Pennsylvania we got so many delegates. Everyone was saying the 50 odd delegates are floating delegates, well, we have gotten most signed up and done.
>> No doubt you had a good night. There's a story out this morning, Donald Trump, Ted Cruz may name Carly Fiorina as his running mate later on today. Do you think that would help him going into Indiana next Tuesday? What does that do for him if she joins his ticket?
>> Well, I think it hurts him. I don't think he -- I can't imagine he does it. First of all he shouldn't name anybody because he doesn't have a chance. He's millions of votes behind. He hurt himself horribly when he did the collusion deal with Kasich. Everyone is upset about it. Everyone is angry about it. But more importantly he's millions of votes behind. He's hundreds of delegates behind. I mean, what is he, 400 or 500 delegates behind. He has no path to victory and he's naming a vice presidential candidate. I guess that's cute. You know, his whole campaign has been based on psychology. But the psychology is no good. It's not working because you know what happened yesterday was a disaster for them. It showed weakness. It showed how weak they were. Naming Carly -- Carly didn't do well. She had the one good debate. Not against me, by the way. I have to tell you. Because I had an unblemished record of victories in the debate, but she had a good debate on the smaller stage as you say. That was it. Then she went up in the polls and every week she went down down down. She ended one a very small number and had to get out. I think she's a nice woman. I think that it's not going to help him at all. And shouldn't be naming anybody now. To me it looks ridiculous.
He's not doing to get the nomination.
>> Mr. Trump, we have been asking the viewers to write in the questions because we think it's important to hear from the viewers and answer the questions. This is an e-mail, overwhelmingly your supporters say they'd never cast a vote for Ted Cruz an Cruz's fans will never cast a vote for you. How can you convince Cruz Republicans to cross over?
>> I know that my supporters will never cast a vote for him, but his will cast a vote for me. We're already seeing it. Let's say I averaged over 60% in five states, very diverse states. A lot of the people were Cruz supporters previously. Because before they were talking about he didn't break 50. It's hard to break 50 when you have eight people running. I never get -- I tried to make a big point of that last night. But I watched my first pundit show this morning before you went on. I saw they didn't cover it again. It's amazing. They don't talk about it. But when you have six, seven, eight people vying -- let's say I get 34 in New Hampshire --
>> We get it.
>> That's a massive, that's almost impossible to -- and
-- 50, you can't get 50 when you have that many people running. Right? Look, I made that point. But even when you have three it's hard to get 50. You know? If you had -- if I had -- right. It's very hard to get 50. So now I'm getting 60 and 62 and I have three. So it's been just very exciting.
>> Right.
>> We're getting a lot of his people turning over to us.
>> Here's Clayton who wrote us this. Would you have your attorney general reopen the investigation of Mrs. Clinton's classified e-mails, and Benghazi if she isn't charged with anything?
>> Yes, I would.
>> Quick answer.
>> Would you be more likely to name a female vp should you get the nomination to counter Hillary Clinton's gender?
>> It's possible. There are a couple that are really very good.
It's possible. I don't know that it counters her gender. I don't think she does well with women, frankly. You know, her poll numbers are very bad with women. But I watched her last night and I said it. I mean, Hillary Clinton is playing the woman's card to a fare thee well. The only thing she has going. I said if she was a man she wouldn't get 5% of the vote.
>> Speaking of a man, Bobby knight is joining you out in Indiana. Next stop, Indiana, the Hoosier state. Good luck, Mr. Trump.
>> He is indeed a man. A great guy and a great coach and a brilliant guy. That'll be fantastic tonight.
>> It will be fiery. We'll put you on a five second delay.
>> Okay.
>> Mr. Trump, like we always say, we asked all of the candidates to join us this morning. Thank you for taking us up on that invitation.

Donald Trump calling into Fox & Friends

See below:

Re campaign discord:

-          "There really is harmony behind the scenes"

-          Paul and Corey get along great

-          Papers write stories without talking to anybody

-          Paul and Corey aren't fighting and I'd tell you if they were

-          They have different responsibilities, Paul is focused on delegates

-          That's why we got so many delegates in PA, we've got most of them (unpledged) signed up and done

Cruz & Carly

-          Cruz doesn't have a chance, shouldn't be vetting anybody for VP

-          Hurt himself with collusion

-          No path to victory and he's naming a VP "I guess that's cute"

-          Carly had the one good debate, not against me by the way

-          She went up in the polls, then went down down down

-          She's a very nice woman but he shouldn't be naming anybody

-          Cruz supporters will vote for me, but my supporters won't go over to Cruz

(Q from a viewer) would you have your AG investigate HRC

-          Yes

Would you pick a female VP to counter HRC

-          Possibly

-          But HRC doesn't do well with women

-          If she were a man she wouldn't get 5% of the vote
