in the rally in montana but perhaps a little bit in north dakota. he's going to be delivering an energy policy speech. i'm told by a high level source within the campaign, that there will be multiple endorsements at that event coming from unbound delegates in north dakota. that is something to watch today given how close donald trump is to officially locking up the number of delegates he needs to hit the magic number, 1237 for the republican nomination. >> hallie, i want to play a little more from the president's remarks in japan. when he talked about how world leaders, he says, see trump and the presidential race. listen to this. >> it's fair to say that they are surprised by the republican nominee. they are not sure how seriously to take some of his pronouncements, but they are rattled by it. and for good reason. he does a lot of the proposals that he's made display either ignorance of world affairs or a cavalier attitude or uninterest in getting tweets and headlines instead of thinking through what it is is required to keep america safe and secure and prosperous and what's req
