busy day for donald trump. he'll be with a few groups of lawmakers and the goal is to try to unite the party. outside, protests going on. as you saw, very raucous protesters. let's go to manu raju and dana bash. manu, let's start with you. how many protesters exactly are there out there? >> reporter: probably about a dozen, maybe a dozen and a half protesters standing right behind me right here. folks actually mostly protesting over the issue of undocumented immigrants. of course, as we know, he wants to build a wall between the u.s. and mexico. he wants mexico to pay for it. and deport 11 million or so undocumented immigrants. what they're chanting is undocumented, unafraid, and you're hearing a pretty raucous, but peaceful protests i may add. a handful of pro trump supporters are here shouting back, creating a big you've raucous scene, which of course is commonplace in trump events these days. but you know, one of the interests things that republicans, one of the reasons why i should say republicans are somew

is that donald trump will not be our nominee. >> i believe that donald trump will not be the nominee. >> donald trump will never be the nominee of the party of lincoln and reagan. >> donald trump, i don't believe, is going to be the party's nominee. >> donald trump will not be the nominee. >> he's leading right now. >> donald trump will not be the nominee. >> will you support him as the nominee? >> donald trump will not be the nominee. >> joining me now, phillip klein, senior writer for the washington examiner, and jamie weinstein, senior editor of the daily caller. a lot of people were wrong. thanks for joining me. phillip, you first. we just heard all those republicans say that trump is never going to be the nominee. yet here we are. he's the last man standing. you tweeted this out, a photo, showing that you officially deregistered as a republican. why is that? >> well, i'm not a professional republican. i'm a journalist who happens to have conservative views, and the republican party, to me, is just a tool to advance those views in the sense that they're more likely to advance con

they want donald trump. what i'm so confused about and maybe ryan can answer this, it is strange the party was so quick to embrace mitt romney when he is much more liberal than donald trump. mitt romney ran massachusetts and was like the main author of obama care before obama care was created. this idea that donald trump is not as conservative as previous nominees. i think this takes time. >> i have to be honest with you. i didn't get what paul ryan was saying that donald trump wasn't conservative enough. i think there were other concerns beyond that there. please follow up on this silly elite thing. do you think this is about silly elites or real concerns in the republican party that donald trump's character doesn't fit what the party wants? >> i think there are real concerns. the type of campaign he ran created deep divisions. in the last few days throwing out the accusation that ted cruz's father is involved in the kennedy assassination. donald trump needs to show people he is worthy of their support. i t

this is donald trump's rust belt strategy. white working class voters in ohio and pennsylvania, maybe do well in michigan and wisconsin, all four states in 2008 and 2012 and so the path to those electoral votes for next six months. give hillary clinton the emerging, more diverse new south states. that gives 273 electoral votes. donald trump even if you give him iowa and new hampshire, he's at 263. electoral map ends up benefiting the democrats more than the republicans. we'll see how the next six months play out. >> the next six months will be rock 'n' roll. casey hunt, we thought we hadn't seen anything like this yet this is going to be an amazingly brutal campaign. you have two of the most unpopular likely nominees ever to face off against each other in a campaign that will be brutal in the era of social media dominated by donald. >> can you imagine if you're hillary clinton after getting in this, after losing in '08 to obama thinking this is going to be the person that you're running against. it's clear from what we saw in

donald trump is in the building. presumably, they're in the same room together having that meeting right now. the first of two meetings taking place in that building this morning. we'll sneak a quick break in. vin weber, friend of paul ryan is still with us and will join us again n we'll keep watching that swiituation. an historic day, historic morning in american politics. pick 3 of 9 all-new creations for $15.99. like baked lobster alfredo chimichurri shrimp and crab cakes bursting with crab meat. just hurry in before it ends. ♪ everything your family touches sticks with them. make sure the germs they bring home don't stick around. use clorox disinfecting products. because no one kills germs better than clorox. when a moment turns romantic why pause to take a pill? or stop to find a bathroom? cialis for daily use is approved to treat both erectile dysfunction and the urinary symptoms of bph, like needing to go frequently, day or night. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and medicines, and ask if y

tied with donald trump, shows bernie sanders doing a little better against donald trump, but it is not good news for democrats in that poll. that's next. >>> should the democrats celebrate donald trump's being the republican nominee? or should they fear it? washington post editorial's ed hyatt comes down on the side of fear, saying democrats need to be running scared, smart but scared, now for the next six months. joining us again, our panel. jonathan allen, we've got these new battleground state polls in three states, i think we're go being to get them up on the screen here. pennsylvania, florida, ohio, and what we're seeing there is donald trump, basically tied with hillary clinton in pennsylvania and florida and ohio. we see efficiency thif they put hillary clinton falling behind donald trump. bernie sanders doing better in pennsylvania with a lead over trump and in ohio and florida bernie sanders is essentially tied with donald trump within the margin of error in both of those states. so, if that kind of polling polls, that's a whole new story for the democrats. >> i think a lot of

they voted for donald trump. is this -- can he keep it focused there and none on ted cruz being in a picture with lee harvey oswald? there's the ridiculous and then the focus that voters want to see. >> i don't think donald trump ditches the ridiculous. i don't think it's in him to cast aside conspiracy theories, because it plays well to the people that like him. so i don't see that going away. particularly the people he surrounded himself with. sort of indulge in that sort of thing. he met with ed klein, writes hillary clinton fan fiction. >> conspiracy theories. >> yeah. there's that. but the focus on the economy, that's why you see him co-opting bernie sanders message in ways. he actually cites bernie sanders and that will likely continue as well. >> that's going to be his best hope of winning here. when we look at the general election matchups, trump right now, not doing so well against hillary clinton, and you have to start thinking about the map. i mean, the fact that he has talked about immigration in such

donald trump being donald trump expect the unexpected. >> it is a very nice property, i'm sure. keep an eye on things. there is still so much news to come out of this. we only have reports from two meetings. the third one we don't have anything and we still have nothing from donald trump himself. no tweets, no comments yet. just the joint statement that came out lickity split. that is not how donald rolls. we are watching every word of that twitter account. we are back in a moment. trugreen presents the yardley's. hello?! -oh, pizza is here! -oh! yeah, come on in!

but it's a big day for donald trump. he hasn't had a relationship with these folks in washington at all. he hasn't been a politician. he's been a businessman and been on the other side of the aisle trying to buy influence with them. but now he's got to try to work together and whether or not they find a way to bridge that gap, we're going to have to wait and see. >> we just got something in, a joint statement. we just got a joint statement now from house speaker paul ryan and donald trump. it reads in part, the united states cannot afford another four years of the obama white house, which is what hillary clinton represents. that is why it is critical at a republicans unite around our shared principles and advance a conservative agenda and do all we can to win this fall. with that focus, we had a great conversation this morning while we were honest about our few differences, we recognize that there are many important areas of common ground. we will be having additional discussions but remain confident there's a great oppo

trump just as much as donald trump needs them. if they leave donald trump alone at the top of the ticket to get destroyed in key states, then that's really going to hurt the down ballot candidates. >> gloria, who moved more here? we haven't heard from donald trump yet so we don't know what kind of language he's going to use, but paul ryan seemed to have moved a lot, frankly. >> what i heard from paul ryan was trying to figure out a way to get to yes, okay? and what he was talking about was core principles. so he went very broad. >> the constitution. >> as in the constitution, as kate says, separation of powers, and pro-life. it's hard to get more broad than that kind of if you're a republican. and if you're conservatives, those are things that if you're pro-life, some aren't, but if you're a conservative, the constitution and separation of powers is pretty easy to say yes to. >> if you're liberal, the constitution is easy to say yes to also. >> and separation of powers because they all object to barack obama's executive actions. s

jack kemp is the great min mentor for paul ryan donald trump is donald trump. you have no idea where he will go. the whole alliance could be gloun up by one tweet. as i said before, you will be hositage to everything that donald trump says. you played the cuts earlier. you can agree, come up with a tax plan or something like that what are you going to do with the 10 million illegal immigrants he is going to deport. the muslim ban, or vaccines or conspiracy? this will be the most complicated relationship we have seen in politics. >> thank you for joining us. appreciate it. coming up. in the first 100 days of a possible trump presidency, what would happen with the trump wall that mexico is supposed to pay for. what would happen with the muslim ban? what would it mean for race relations in america? up next, someone who is on everyone's list for a possible democratic vice presidential nomination. man 1: i came as fast as i could. what's up? man 2: this isn't public yet. man 1: what isn't? man 2: we've been attacked. man 1: the network? man 2: shhhh. man 1: when did

trump yet, his refusal to get behind donald trump. what do you make of it? >> i think this is just sort of a temporary message he's trying to send on behalf of his caucus. i think it's going to be a te tempest in a teapot because in a week or so they'll be linked together arm in arm and the reason is they have to be. paul ryan, if he wants to get any of his agenda passed in the future, he needs a republican president to sign those bills. trump, if he wants his agenda to move forward in congress, he needs someone who can cooperate with him, an ally as speaker. so neither one of them can afford to alienate the other anymore. >> who do you think represents more of the republican party now though? donald trump just finished a very long primary process with more votes than any other candidate. is it him or is it the speaker? >>. >> well, i'd have to say it's donald trump. the speaker represents the republican caucus in congress but he's not running in various states. i like to think of the republican party as a bunch of segments. think of

voting for donald trump. i think he will be in the states where he took on bernie sanders and hillary clinton and beat her. >> leaving the republican party today. we haven't seen anything like this. nothing like we have seen on the republican side or on the democratic side. what is the clinton campaign do when they see those kinds of defections. she said she is going to vote libertarian. that is good enough for the democrats. >> it is good enough trying to see, i think they are smart to try to continue to drive the divisions within the republican party, to make it a choice as stevens d between patriotism, and partisanship. >> veterans of the war room. thank you both. i appreciate it. coming up. once donald trump is officially the nominee, when he leave that is convention, he will get an intelligence briefing. that has some intelligence experts -- very worried. former national security advisor to several president, richard clark will join us. traordinaril, traordinaril, i hear you. make sure your doctor hears

if donald trump wins the state, the u.s. senate candidate and the republican primary is likely to be todd young who is more the establishment candidate, someone when's more pragmatic, doesn't lash out at people the way donald trump does. hoosiers split the tickets and really look at what the candidates are talking about, what issues are important to them. i think coming to ted cruz and this state, he was given a prime opportunity to earn votes. but he failed to do so. he failed to really make the case to hoosier voters, those swing moderate voters that he needed to win indiana, that he's the one to pull the lever for. he had a chance and he blew it. >> healy, you want to jump? >> i think the bottom line is that mr. trump is earning the votes of the american people based on merit. he's not stumping with talking points and typical d.c. rhetoric. he's having conversations at rallies and out while he's campaigning. that people are having behind their closed doors. that's refreshing. he's a winner. his success is proven in his bu

that intraparty tension between donald trump's policies and d d donald trump's proposals and where the party is from a platform perspective. not just with house leadership but senate leadership as well. broad looks at conservative principles. wanting him to commit to some of these broad conservative principles like limited government and additional talk about bringing republicans together, because of deep divide, on taxes and for example, nato and on foreign policy. there's a number of areas in which trump and some of the base of the party die verge. that is an area we'll need to address, probably starting today. we don't expect that to wrap up as we look for donald trump to come out and speak to folks. as we get ready to chat with speaker ryan set to begin an hour from now. >> hallie jackson on the move there at the capitol as well. hallie, thanks, i want to bring in rick tyler. former spokesman for the ted cruz presidential campaign. again, i apologize in advance if they do decide to have some sort of impromptu news conference, we'll go to that. paul ryan has just as much at stake as

>> i think jan is a better spokesperson for donald trump than donald trump. i think the trump campaign would do well to put her out more than him. it would be tough to be donald trump's nominee. i'm curious to talk to jan after the whole thing is over and after i think -- after there's an independent republican president and an independent wins for the first time in a couple centuries in america and then jan can tell stories what it was like to be on the trump/brewer ticket. >> in today's meetings, trump sat down with a few congressional republicans who had been mentioned on vp picks. this was last night what he said about you as a possible vp pick, governor. here it is. >> jan brewer's been fantastic. she has been so fantastic. i won so big her territory, we won so big. she's a fabulous woman. >> what's your reaction? >> well, certainly i appreciate him speaking so nicely about me, but there are a lot of people out, there men and women, that are high live qualified that would be great candidates. >> who would you like to see? like who? >> i have no inside in

it is donald trump. and the party has to get used to that. >> that would mean as we approach the convention, one of the things you do at the convention is write a platform, the divisions between ryan and trump whether it's medicare, social security, entitlement front, immigration another big divide right there. >> yeah. >> if what you're saying is true, then that means paul ryan has to swallow hard here. >> on some things, yes, but so will donald trump, and that's going to be the -- sort of the mitigated part here is how much each of these gentlemen come to a spot where they can make it a sweet spot. it may be bittersweet, in other words, they give a little bit and get a little bit but that's what paul ryan is talking about today. let me get to know donald trump and he get to know me and then we can begin to talk about and address some of the stickier policy issues. look, you won't have a whole resale rewriting of the platform. that's not what donald trump wants to do but when you get down to tpp or trad

do not go to donald trump. it is a sign, sanders once he is out of the race, he is going to be a firm anti-trump. >> david, you realize, all of us realize, hillary clinton lately barely even mentions bernie sanders. she's really railing against, devoting all attention to donald trump. she has a delicate line to walk, she needs the enthusiastic, young bernie sanders supporters to get elected. >> clinton wants to send a message that this thing is over, if not quite mathematically over, and she's the general election candidate going ahead. for sanders, like we were talking about, sanders wants to say look, i'm the better candidate the candidates can put up against trump. either way, i think they had their fill of going after each other, but at the same time clinton. >> the super delegates are here to stay. 15% of all democratic delegates are superdelegates. do you think down the road they might revise that? >> i interviewed nancy pelosi today. she said to me flat out unsolicited that she can't stand the idea of su

sounds a lot like donald trump. so where does he stop short? is it temperament? is it maybe he'll say things that are kind of controversial but doesn't go over the line like donald trump has? >> cuban said to "the washington post" that he believes he could outtrump donald trump. but he said like so many other people we spoke to, it's too late. the deadlines are fast approaching. texas, its deadline to get on the ballot has already passed. >> is there anybody realistic that you would see when it comes to these names, anybody out there they would go to and that they would say, okay, let's do this, let's make this a reality? >> some retired military figures, like general mcchrystal and general jim mattis. who's realistic? probably a former senator, someone like ben sasse or john kasich. but the person behind all these talks who's most intriguing is former governor mitt romney. he's the one who's make get overtouove overtures to sasse and to kasich. >> some of these are commissioning private polling, trying to line up s

they weren't donald trump's secrets. trump never had anything to do with writing the curriculum. >> it's admitted in a 2012 deposition, portions of which were released by cnn. the president of trump university michael sexton, stated under oath none of our instructors at the live events were handpicked by donald trump. sexton was asked did anybody at trump organization work on the curriculum, his answer, they did not. as for trump's secrets of success that were supposed to be taught, sexton said that we cover investing with foreclosures. bob is suing donald trump for his $35,000 paid in tuition says there were other so-called secrets that really weren't. >> for example, they would put up a slide and say if you want to know about your tax deductions as a business, go to irs.gov. >> that was the tip. >> yes. if you want to find property go to trulia.com. >> another great tip. >> another website like that. and i just was shaking my head all the time. i kept hoping that the next retreat i would take that i would get some know

charles: you haven't been a donald trump fan. having some evangelical on the ticket would help way your thought and opinions? >> i'm agnostic when it come to donald trump. i think what's important is he's got to have a good vp pick i think will ahour social conservatives. that's not just evangelicals. it's conservative catholics. we are not sure what he's going to do because he doesn't have a track record in government. how he will vet his judicial nominees, one way would be to select ted and say i'll let him vet my judicial nominees. and what he does on the platform in cleveland will be an indicator of whether he want to build that platform including conservatives. charles: on the democratic side do you think hillary clinton and elizabeth warren would be a good ticket or would it be a risky move. >> i think it would be good for women and trump has been turning off people like crazy. charles: she will go into battle with hip at 2:00 in the morning. >> she is pushing bernie sanders father left. it might push moderates over to trum

he said donald trump is not as skillful. he was the same way, ben carson acknowledged both of them were the same way, not as skillful in politics as others who were politicians. and he also said he has been a little insensitive but working on that now. this is a new arena for him but he's working on that. we have to wait and see what's going to happen with donald trump but it looks like this week he's been the same donald trump we've known from poke hon tas to the other things he's saying and doing. >> poco hontas, the latest criticism of elizabeth warren. leads me back to hillary clinton right now with so much focus on donald trump, hillary clinton has problems of her own right now, that new aig report and fbi investigation still not complete as much as she wanted to zero in on this attack on donald trump effectively in his years as a businessman rooting against the housing market. to rooting for it to crash in it for his own gain as they suggested. now on defensive by this new ig report. >> she's got to be on the defensive

donald trump needs paul ryan. he will need paul ryan to shepherd through tax reform and entitlement reform if president trump pushes through those , paul. ryan will need him, too. economic growth that you started his segment with is absolutely right. donald trump is smart enough to know jobs and the economy are the number one issue for voters across the board. they are living this obama economy on the ground every day and have been for the last seven-plus years. donald trump understands and the rest of the gop establishment should get on board with this as well. if they are going to win in the fall they need the economic issue they hit every year. martha: the underlying theme is yes they would like paul ryan to be on board. but if he doesn't, they feel they are winners and they have been winning all along and paul ryan represents a guy who was not able to close the deal when he ran for vice president and they have the stronger position. >> i don't think donald trump has bench more conciliatory. you have comments f

they want someone who's not a politician and that's most of donald trump's -- a lot of donald trump's success. >> that's certainly true within the republican electorate which has been angry for years. that anger has been fuelled -- >> have you been to a bernie rally? >> yes, but i still think that if you ask bernie's supporters if they'll support hillary, a lot say yes and what are they listening to when they listen to bernie? they're listening to policy ideas. this guy is policy driven, message driven, donald trump's campaign is anger driven, anger over any analysis, anger over any policy. so i do think that's true for the republican electorate and we'll have this great political science experiment about how far that extends to independents and the democratic electorate. >> but the base of bernie is talking about nafta. hillary supported nafta, bill clinton put it into place. that will be a stumbling block. >> we'll take a quick break here. coming up, donald trump as commander-in-chief. why the "new york times" columnist tom freedman says in his words there is no question that isis w

donald trump has said so much. he's gone out so far of john miller -- i don't know the difference anymore -- donald trump has gone so far to praise and kiss up to the clintons that now that he wants to go back and destroy them, fine, that's the donald trump play book. bill clinton, not only supported violence against women act, family medical leave act, appointed women to the justice department, to top positions. so, he has a good record on women's issues. will these so-called women come out and readjudicate their criticism of the clintons? fine. >> they're not so-called. they're actually women. >> of course they are. all i'm saying is that there are issues here that donald trump would like to talk about because he done want to talk about releasing tax return. >> is clinton ready to battle that kind of battle? she was asked about this last week i guess on the campaign trail. she said essentially i'm not going to talk about that. i'm focused on the issues. is that good enough on debate stage with donald trump. >> wh

their standard bearer at the moment is donald trump. >> reporter: but the divide over donald trump inside the republican party is growing. earlier today, dick cheney, the former vice president, announced he will support donald trump but jeb bush at just the last hour released a statement saying he won't vote for trump. as for what's happening with house speaker paul ryan, trump did schedule a meeting with the speaker later on next thursday, wolf, and as i heard from a trump aide earlier today, and the view of this one aide, he feels that trump and paul ryan will be old friends as he put it, by the end of next week. that's a pretty optimistic view. we'll wait and see. >> we will. jim acosta reporting for us, thank you. donald trump is about to speak at a rally in omaha, nebraska. there you see him over there, cnn's jeff zeleny is on the scene. what type is tone likely to take in the middle of this major feud with the party establishment? >> reporter: wolf, that is something everyone is watching here. he has been slightly more diplomatic, more presidential but we got him in a tweet he sent

>> i think jan's a better spokesman for donald trump than donald trump is. when jan's the vice presidential nominee the campaign will do moore more to put her out than then. i'm curious to talk to jan after the whole thing's over and after the independent wins for the first time in a couple centuries in america. and that will be exciting and then jan can tell stories about what it was like to be on the trump/brewer ticket. >> appreciate the transition, in today's meetings trump sat down with a few who have been mentioned as vp picks. this is fox news last night, this is what he said about you, govern. >> jan brewer has been fantastic. she has been so fantastic. and i won so big. her territory, and we won so big. and she's a fabulous woman. >> what's your reaction? >> well, certainly, i, you know, appreciate him speaking so nicely about me. but there are a lot of people out there, men and women, who are highly qualified, that would be great candidates. >> who would you like to see. like who? >> i don't, i don't get to make that choice. mr. trump is going to h

he's okay with donald trump's plans. he trusts donald trump. we talked to bill cross tokrist. he says there's a 50/50 chance there's a viability third-party candidate in the general election. that's pretty high. as a trump supporter, what's your level of concern right now that that could really happen? >> i don't think that's going to happen at all. you know, what's fascinating to me is if you go back to that first debate when they were pushing donald trump very hard to take the pledge, and he was very honest an his reservations, and then he ended up skcoming around, signing the pledge to support whoever the republican nominee is and that was the establishment's way to try to force him into a box when the establishment thought there's no way but an establishment candidate can win, and now that that's not the case, you have the establishment running around and trying to find these third parties. jeb bush, who has proven to not be a man of his word who always had said he would support the nominee is now out there saying he's looking for a third-party option. he won't support the

>> well, donald trump reflects the voters, and so there's paul ryan. there's donald trump. and there are millions and millions of angry voters out there that have seen in donald trump's campaign a ray of hope from the problems of unemployment, from the lack of growth, from the grossly high taxation that the obama administration -- you know, 39% marginal rate. here in california when you add the 11% that the democrats put on on the state, it's over 50% marginal taxes. voters are angry. they want a change. and i think that donald trump is reflecting that, and i agree with my friend, mike slater. i've been on his radio show. great guy. the reality here is that donald trump and the voters are what matters, and i think that paul ryan will understand that and that they'll work together. >> i want you to both listen to a portion of this interview that marco rubio gave to our jake tapper, first national interview since dropping out of the race. he doesn't want to be trump's v.p., and he can't really bring himself still to mention the name trump. >> there are a lot of questions abou

donald trump's position on tax policpo? >> sure. i mean, again, he's going to be the nominee of this party, and, you know, again, he's talking about cutting taxes. we don't have proskip tiff -- proscriptive things in the -- >> but when he says he's comfortable paying more. he said on abc -- >> no -- >> that he had a good run under obama and he's open to paying more. i know he's tried to clarify that but when you read his words, he said he's open to paying more. >> again, as you noted, he's clarified that statement. so he has clarified exactly what he meant. >> you believe he's only into cutting taxes. he will not be open to raising any taxes? >> he's a smart businessman. i think he understands right now the economy, you know, and people are hurting. he's talked specifically about the middle class and the burden that they've had under thisse a administration. i think he clearly understands the concerns that most americans are feeling right now and, frankly, the financial con straights. most of them haven't had a raise in a l

to support donald trump, you have to buy into donald trump. you have to say this is what i believe in. i think after november that's a very deadly combination for the republican party. if you don't understand for anything but election, you really don't stand for anything. and donald trump as far as i can see is opposed to just about everything the republican party would like to think it stands for. it is not a sophie's choice moment. you don't have to support one or the other. you have to decide. >> dana, is there something, talk about being treated fairly, is there something trump could do, is it a stylistic thing, tonal, or is it more policy based? >> for me it has always been policy based. i don't really mind political incorrectness so much, i don't to an extent mind the tone. as i laid out in the editorial i wrote for "national review" there are certain policy issues that i am concerned. and anderson, people like myself and there are people that have gone on to become never trump, they're not doing it to be malicious or petty. i would love

donald trump, paul ryan. the house speaker yesterday, sarah palin told jake tapper he'll do whatever he can to get paul ryan defeated in his primary in august. what's the anticipation looking ahead to the meeting on thursday? is it going to resolve matters or go separate ways? >> it's funny because in some ways, donald trump already said, listen, this was an idea that we meet and then go our separate ways. i'm sure the hope for the party in terms of party unity is that they come out of here at least with sort of kind things to say about each other and this feud doesn't continue but this is a negotiation. we talked about donald trump sort of his opening bids and sort of an opening bid saying, donald trump, you have to convince me. i should be in a supportive role. of course, he would typically have a supportive role at the convention. someone asked him whether or not he would continue in that role. donald trump has suggested that maybe he would ask paul ryan to step down and paul ryan apparently said he would

donald trump about to leave trump tower. what do you think of donald trump? >> a strange man. >> where are you from? >> sweden. >> well, there you have it. and that's it for us on street justice. i'm not your normal street. >>> and don't forget if you're looking for a great read or a gift for you mom, think of my book, "he killed them off" my quest for justice. the book is on sell now. friend me on fas bike, follow me on twitter and instagram. thanks so much for watching. the greg gutfeld show is next. happy mother's day!photoin the yearbook. >> fox report is next. >> tonight, the gop is in uncharted waters. the presumptive nominee at odds with big names in his own party. this is the fox report. tonight trump is campaign nothing washington state shrugging off the high profile republicans that will not vote for him and taking swoip at former primary rivals. >> jeb bush is not an honorable person and lindsay graham is not honorable. when you sign a pledge it is supposed to mean something. the good nows is, that most everybody

donald trump tell ming? you absolutely love. >> which makes this campaign very fascinating. >> take your man card off the table. >> thank you so much. we are obviously off and on the road. we'll talk your questions after the break what is life on the road. you tweeted and facebook'd. we have the answers so stick around. if you're going to make a statement... make sure it's an intelligent one. ♪ the all-new audi a4, with available virtual cockpit. ♪ shall we say, unnecessarily complex.h back cards are, limiting where you can earn bonus cash back... then those places change every few months... please. it's time you got the quicksilver card from capital one. quicksilver earns you unlimited 1.5% cash back on every purchase, everywhere. doesn't get much simpler than that. what's in your wallet? but i've managed.e crohn's disease is tough, except that managing my symptoms was all i was doing. and when i finally told my doctor, he said humira is for adults like me o have tri o medications but still experience t

donald trump. and we're going to have to see, will he say okay i'm going to limit those contributions to $100? i'm going to make them $27 like bernie sanders. will they be $1,000? he still has to be able to make the case he is not bought and sold. that's the case he was making against his opponents. he has been making it against hillary clinton. >> individual contributions can go up to $2700, something like that. >> will he limit that? will he make it lower? i mean we're going to have to wait and see. because they are going to need the money to compete with hillary clinton. >> do you want to weigh in on that? >> i think that's right. if you look at $2012, a billion a piece, mitt romney and barack obama in terms of running for the white house. donald trump is in i think a bit of a pickle here, not only in term of the branding and what it means now for his brand that he is going to raise money. but he is also behind because you have had hillary clinton and the democrats really shaking the money for -

donald trump is spot-on. we don't want to have taxpayer money to go to puerto rico to bail them out. i don't want wisconsin taxpayers to spend my money there. this is a bill we're going to put down tomorrow. we're going to put in a control board to get the finances under control but number two, they have no mechanism for restructuring so we're going to allow a forum for which the bondholders on the island can negotiate their debt. if they can't come to a joint resolution, they can access the courts and have the courts help them resolve the debt. it's true, they have too much debt. what you see is when you have massive debt, it creates a lack of investment on the island, which creates poverty. there's 45% poverty rates on the island of puerto rico. if we don't act right now, that is going to only get worse. more people are going to flee the island and come to the mainland. and so i'm hopeful that we're going to get a bipartisan bill that comes out of the committee and out of the house that will go to the senat

yes, donald trump was asked about this. why is this a topic or line of attack that donald trump feels is effective against ted cruz? >> i don't think it was really a line of attack. as you heard in mr. trump's comments he was talking about the ridiculousness and absurd y absurdities. we didn't hear the actual comments that came from senator cruz's father. this was enlikened to the earth is going to fall apart and destruction of america if you support don't trump. this is on the cusp of senator cruz himself saying yesterday there was evil and he wanted the voters of indiana to stop the evil, calling trump voters evil for crying out loud not to mention the other reports, senator cruz was anointed by god to lead the country and would fulfill a mormon prophesy and mr. trump was repeating things hovering over the cruz campaign. >> you're saying he's pointing out radical statements because there's also this separate issue of the conspiracy issue from the "national enquirer." >> again, he was being asked about senator cruz's fathe

listen to donald trump. this plays into the message he's been using all along, which is the system is rigged, and this would not happen to a normal person. a normal person would not get off. i think you'll hear various versions of that, as we go through. say, okay, yeah. so they cleared hillary clinton. well, that's because the system is rigged. >> and it loses some of its punch if, in fact, the fbi publicly comes out and says we found no inkaformation she willfully broke the law. something definitive could work? >> for the clinton team, good news. the notion they'll actually get past it. for genuinely undecided voters, open to facts, this is probably also good to let them have some information to make a disbased on, but in the kangaroo courts of right-wing talk radio, for donald trump, for the republican party, i don't think it make as difference whatsoever. they have already convicted her, decided schae done something criminal and i don't think they're talking points will change one bit based on whatever f

campaign as well as donald trump individually. we do not know where donald trump is heading from here. but, he's leaving this law firm and he left that meeting over in rnc and he met with top gop senators and before that the big meeting at the rnc. and on first street here with the meeting with paul ryan. halie jackson is still standing by, halie, did he say anything? >> reporter: he waved at me standing outside here but that was about it. he has done that all morning. it is interesting. we heard as our colleagues pointed out, we heard from chairman priebusnd paul ryan but have not heard of donald trump. you can see secret service just kind of dispersing it at this point. he was with his aids, all walking down this building. trump's legal team he's meeting with his lawyer apparently. we are working to find out what happened inside this building. trump is uncharacteristically is quiet how this went. he's somebody that often likes to speak to the media. i would not be surprise at some point of the next 24 or 48 hours that we hear so

donald trump. ted cruz ends his campaign. making trump the presumptive nominee. and what do indiana's results mean to the rest of the race? we talk about all of that it my political dream team here with me. the campaign manager for hillary clinton. and cnn political commentators. we have a lot of people, who they supported, they say, i don't know at this point. we will get to the dream team in a moment. jim to you, i guess, good morning to both of you, jim, a huge win for donald trump, and now, the presumptive nominee. what is he saying tonight? >> first of all, don, we have to recognize, this is the first time since dwightizen dwightize ooezen hour eisenhower. to get to this point. it is an incredible feat, you have to give him credit for this. he knocked off ted cruz in the indiana primary. a contest that senator said that he needed to win. he couldn't win the state of indiana. donald trump is presumptive nominee. this afternoon, he was going after ted cruz, suggesting that his father was somehow

it doesn't feel like donald trump is the head of a ticket, it feels like donald trump is the head of donald trump and that there's a steep dropoff. you can see it in the way he treats the party and even paul ryan, who didn't immediately embrace donald trump. i think a lot of that was mishandled, because they really do need to get together. if not ideologically unified, at least not sniping at each other. it is important the republican party have some semblance of unity if they expect to win in the fall. >> picking up on luke's point, do you think that if paul ryan weren't the speaker of the house that he would be one of the faces of the stop trump movement? do you think they are that ideologically opposed? >> no. what i know of paul ryan, i don't think that he would be a member of the stop trump movement. i think paul represents sort of this intellectual conservatism. he's sort of the accidental speaker. he didn't want to be speaker, he ended up speaker. he has a lot of respect on capitol hill. he's brilliant, he's smart, he knows the economy very well, and he's also an articulate vo

many are feeling abandoned by donald trump. a twitter war between donald trump and a prominent evangelical today. charles: donald trump getting some pushback from some evangelicals -- he said the gop was not the party conservatives. i want to bring back trump spokesperson katrina pierson. donald trump saying russell moore is a terrible representative evangelicals saying a nasty guy with no heart. but there is a coalition of 0 christian leaders asking people to reject donald trump because of racial and religious demagoguery. >> the he are gel cals i know make an astounding case on why evangelicals should support trump. when looking across the world. we are not look for a sunday school teacher. we are look for a commander. someone who is not hostile to christians in this country, and there is a clear option for that. charles: donald trump won the overwhelming majority of evangelicals in the southern state and other state as well. he was able to capture a large lion's share of that vote. and there are prominent leaders til resisti
