they're still on track to have this endorsement of paul ryan even though the ryan campaign wasn't looking for it, the republican national campaign wasn't looking for it, but i tell you, everybody is onboard. look at the e-mail or listen to the e-mail i got from paul nealon, who is paul ryan's challenger for the seat there in the house, who put out a release a little while ago. this is a guy, by the way, who supports donald trump, was very nice to donald trump. and which is why trump also was saying he didn't necessarily want to endorse ryan at the beginning. he says, quote, giving his stature at our party's nominee, mr. trump's decision to support the republican speaker is appropriate and is a display of true leadership. but listen to what he goes on to say, quote, mr. trump's early refusal to endorse ryan sent a signal to wisconsin voters ryan is not his preferred candidate in the race. politics still at play even though he's giving his blessing to donald trump endorsing ryan. >> before i bring a panel in, give us a sense of the size of the room, the crowd. how nmany people? >> typical f

when you take on paul ryan, you are not just taking on paul ryan. you are taking on the chamber of commerce. you are taking on the koch brothers. you are taking on wall street. you are taking on all of the transnational elites that will do everything to keep their speaker in congress. let's consider how others have done before us. since his reelection bid in 2000, paul ryan has never faced a real primary challenge. he has essentially run unopposed for nearly 20 years. historically, u.s. representatives from wisconsin are rarely ever challenged. one reporter observed that from 1950 through 2014, less than one in five wisconsin u.s. representatives faced a primary challenger. since 1950, only one wisconsin u.s. representative has ever lost his primary. but we took on the challenge because we knew that despite the odds, we could not continue to be quiet and sit down and watch as we were led by a man who does not normally look down upon our desires but actively fights against them at every turn. we know how the people of our district and state feel. we

behind the scenes he's hearing, i think two things, he thinks if you talk to teen ryan, ryan world he thinks he's giving his members who don't like trump, the ability to criticize him. but other people think that he's being soft, he's not being firmly enough behind trump. it's really like everything else in congress, two opinions, huge split between the two. >> do you think -- you said people around him are pretty adamant that he feels an obligation ultimately to support trump. do you pick up in talking to them, that there is any breaking point? does a breaking point exist with paul ryan? >> it absolutely does but we don't know what that is at all. >> thanks for the time tonight, appreciate it. >> thanks. >> we're expecting to hear from paul ryan any minute. we'll bring you his remarks as soon as they come. up next, two questions, one guess which big money conservative donors are giving to donald trump. and two, give which big money conservative owners are giving to donald trump's opponent, details, next . which you are you? be the you who doesn't cover your moderate to severe plaque

that interchange between donald trump and paul ryan, paul ryan and donald trump, earlier in the campaign when paul ryan said he wasn't there yet, that's not what we're talks about right now. we're talking about him endorsing trump, trump having him open the republican national convention and then seemingly out of nowhere recently, donald trump saying i don't know, i don't like him anymore, used to like him, i don't like him and i may not going to be with him, then again republicans piling on donald trump and him for five seconds behaving and endorsing paul ryan. what it shows is again, what we are talking about is a lack of unity in the republican party driven by trump's inability to stay on message or behave in a presidential way. it keeps the conversation on how he's unfit to be president. >> we're not saying black lives matter, either. >> hang on. hang on. >> alex burns, 20 seconds left. >> i do think, john, as we go forward, i think corey's right, we are figuring out the balance in the trump and ryan relationship. i think you will see a shift toward ryan as the election comes closer.

look, i think that the fact that paul ryan threw his campaign spokesman suggests that ryan is going to act the way paul ryan tends to act which is try to kind of keep his head down and hope that this blows over and not get into a tit for tat between the house speaker and the republican nominee for president, that that doesn't serve anybody well because by all accounts he should be doing okay in his primary next week so his electoral future is probably not in real peril. john mccain is a different story. he has a primary at the end of the month and a tough reelection race against a democrat and already, anderson, his democratic opponent assuming he wins this primary is out saying, remember, john mccain has said that he would support the nominee 49 times or whatever it is. so the democrats are trying very hard to tie john mccain and kelly aillot who is also in a tough campaign in new hampshire to donald trump. it's a tougher position for somebody like mccain. >> this is part of what donald trump does, right? during the primary, so much of his strategy was about sort of swagger and cowing

neil has been critical to ryan's positions. neil had some tough talk for ryan over the weekend. let's listen to that. >> paul ryan is the head of the snake. he represents everything that's wrong with washington and politics and the media. never before in our history as a representative been so out of touch with the people. >> ryan has about 84% favorability among republicans and independents while only 49% approve of trump. he's doing better than that. paul nehlen joins me now. thanks for joining us tonight. make your pitch right now to the people in that district to vote for you rather than ryan. >> well, the people in our district know that paul ryan doesn't know what he's talking about when it comes to trade. and mr. trump's endorsement of him was not an endorsement of mr. ryan's trade policies or his immigration policies. mr. trump read from a piece of paper and endorsed mr. ryan's position. he endorsed the speaker's chair. and i think that was smart. i think that's the mark of a good leader, a strong leader. he was not endorsing paul ryan's policies. >> let's talk about the

ryan wins easily. john joins us from arizona on the republican line. : yes, thank you for having me on. i was wondering why paul ryan did not cover the unlicensed contracting that is going on for all of our state, taking our , with billion-dollar homebuilders, commercial builders, and with that going on, it causes going to our federal government, which they do not trace, and the illegals are using this to take our jobs on our construction site. host: ok, that is your statement? caller: yes. host: chairman reince priebus talking, and going on to say it was a well-earned victory, saying that paul ryan has faithfully represent to the people of wisconsin and making the statement that conservatives have never changed and that his principled public service has made him a leader in our party. i know that paul will continue to articulate his vision as a confident and strong american. i look forward to seeing him return to congress as another term as speaker of the house. joining us from janesville, wisconsin,

that includes paul ryan. well, his district there in wisconsin is one of those that in the right year for a democrat, the democratic presidential candidate can carry it. if you go back to 2008, barack obama defeated john mccain in paul ryan's district there in wisconsin. in 2012, paul ryan was actually on the republican ticket. mitt romney's running mate. ran at the same time for re-election to the house. won his race but only got 55% of the vote. that was four years ago. that does raise the question for paul ryan. it's a potentially tricky one. if he's in a re-election race this november that gets thorny if the district doesn't warm up to donald trump, it could be a bind. if he separates himself from trump, he could lose trump voters. if he attaches himself too much to trump he could lose swing voters. two things for paul ryan to worry about. to talk bhomore about this trump/ryan war, i want to bring in chris cillizza, founder of the fix blog. donald trump couldn't resist yesterday. paul ryan critical of him

. >> paul ryan. good. he's a good man. he's a good man and he's a good guy. and we may disagree on a couple of things and mostly we agree and we'll get it done and we'll do a lot of wonderful things. he's a good man and while i'm at it, i hold in the highe esest em john mccain for his service to our country in uniform and in public office and i fully support and endorse his reelection. very important. we'll work together. . i fully support and endorse senator kelly ayotte of new hampshire. a state i truly love, primarily because that was my first vuktrvukt victory, but i love new hampshire. i love new hampshire. she is a rising star and will continue to represent the great people of new hampshire so very well for a long, long time. senator kelly ayotte. working hand in hand, we will grow our majority in the house and in the senate. we need that. we've got to get things done. arm in arm, we will rescue the nation from the obama-clinton disaster which is exactly what it is. that has bled our country dr

context here about speaker ryan. he says i never asked donald trump for an endorsement. >> it's been a delegate relationship since this has all begun. what i'm being told by sources is mike pence who has a long relationship with paul ryan. he served 12 years before becoming indiana's governor. in one of the many conversations he has by phone with donald trump, this happened this morning. sources tell me that trump raised the issue to pence and pence wanted to endorse. we know that trump has sort of withheld an endorsement because paul ryan has a primary against a conservative next week. although ryan is expected to win that, it is a climate in which every kind of contest needs to be taken seriously and this is is more negative press on the relationship between trump and ryan. now what's interesting on this, too, is pence is playing the role which he was cast. he is the traditional republican. he is the long-time office holder. he is someone who can open up lines of communication to the republican establishment. he is

paul ryan is a realist. he knows it's really really important if he wants to preserve the house majority that trump either win or not lose by very much. if trump loses by ten points, the house probably goes to the democrats. he's got a self-interest in working with trump. i think the other issue is that with the spotlight on paul ryan, i think he's now safe and he clearly is going to be, if trump were to lose, he's going to be either the single most or one of the three or four most important republicans in the country to put the party back together. i think this gives him a safe base from which to do that. >> 85/15, i'm hearing. 85/15. pretty good win. you would take that. but it does, does it empower paul ryan going forward to say look, there was this issue, paul nehlen, the guy who ran against me, was supportive of donald trump, tried to run under the trump banner and i just crushed him? >> well, i never had an 85/15 win so i know he's a happy man right now but i don't think he's going to be the type of pe

>> reporter: with paul ryan and the fact that mike expense endorsing paul ryan and donald trump isn't? >> yes. yes. yes. >> you know what? put this in the long, long list of things that are very unusual in the 2016 race. just add that to the list. i do think it is actually more simple than maybe at first blush two appear. and that is, mike pence is genuinely a good friend of paul ryan. they served together in the house of representatives. they have been friends for 15 years or so. paul ryan said nice things about mike pence as soon as pence's name was even floated as trump's running mate. so it is not a surprise that pence would take a stand in even a republican fight next week. certainly you have paul ryan tearing donald trump's convention and kind of going through the motions. but paul ryan also, you know, ticked donald trump off in not endorsing him right away, and more recently, in issuing a very strongly worded statement about the way donald trump handled the khans. i think if you read the transcript of phil rucker, "the washington post's" excellent interview with donald trump, i

he encouraged me to endorse paul ryan is and i'm pleased to do it. >> joining us is paul ryan's challenger. appreciate you being with us. >> thanks for having me on. >> donald trump has not officially endorsed you. he did say you've been running a good campaign. we heard pence pence endorsing paul ryan saying trump encouraged him to make that endorsement. you said you have had no contact with the trump campaign lately. what's your reaction to all this? >> i'm not surprised in the least. wouldn't you expect somebody who has got a lo good friend to endorse their friend. i don't chalk that up to anything other than these guys having a friendship. >> mike pence you mean? >> i have a ton of respect for mike pence. i went to see him the other day. and for the trump campaign and i think kudos to mr. trump for saying, hey, i respect the fact you have a long-time friendship with paul ryan. of course, i disagree with who he selected to endorse. he's all in for the transpacific partnership, which is going to sell our jobs overseas. paul ryan is the mercenary champion for a very bad trade deal. but he

[ inaudible question ] >> translator: ryan. ryan. ryan, the athlete. ryan lochte. he was the one that was really the one that was more -- physically outwardly he was more angry or nervous or in this way. this what we heard from one of the security guards. yeah. we're going to confirm. we're going to confirm the identity of the athletes. one of them -- i don't know which one it was -- said the extreme attitudes that are occurring the gas station to ryan, one of the security guys said was ryan. he was very angry because he was intoxicated. he was under the influence of any alcoholic beverage. he was probably drunk. alcoholic beverage. >> translator: so you can say that this is all taking place because of locked? so he would be the one responsible? >> interpreter: no, no, we cannot say that he was the only one responsible. this will be a very premature presumption of guilt. >> translator: i'm from cnn. i'd like to hear your question. [ inaudible ] >> translator: well, we -- it was not -- days. i have to explain to you exactly what happened. the olympic ga

neil has been critical to ryan's positions. neil had some tough talk for ryan over the weekend. let's listen to that. >> paul ryan is the head of the snake. he represents everything that's wrong with washington and politics and the media. never before in our history as a representative been so out of touch with the people. >> ryan has about 84% favorability among republicans and independents while only 49% approve of trump. he's doing better than that. paul nehlen joins me now. thanks for joining us tonight. make your pitch right now to the people in that district to vote for you rather than ryan. >> well, the people in our district know that paul ryan doesn't know what he's talking about when it comes to trade. and mr. trump's endorsement of him was not an endorsement of mr. ryan's trade policies or his immigration policies. mr. trump read from a piece of paper and endorsed mr. ryan's position. he endorsed the speaker's chair. and i think that was smart. i think that's the mark of a good leader, a strong leader. he was not endorsing paul ryan's policies. >> let's talk about the

you know, if he really wants to help paul ryan, he ought to move to wisconsin where paul ryan is in a fight for his primary congressional seat. i think really it's about time for doug and others to put on their big boy pants and support hillary clinton and to look at her through a different lens because honestly, she is more prepared than really anybody in a generation to lead this nation and when one looks at her and contrast to donald trump who is unraveling and in the process unraveling the republican party, there's no contest. >> doug, throwing away your vote? >> i'm never going to say anybody is throwing away a vote. my vote isn't a vote i make at the ballot box and it's a vote i make, and -- >> your candidate is not going to win. >> yeah. that certainly looks to be the case. i understand that. there's also libertarian candidate who will be on cnn tonight so it's not merely a binary choice. i reject that argument, as well, but i'm not going to be critical of doug for how he votes. if this is important to him that's how he should vote and i have a larger concern and it emphasizes

paul ryan, good. good man. he's a good man and he's a good guy. and he may disagree on a couple of things, but mostly we agree and we're going to get it done and we're going to do a lot of wonderful things. he's a good man. and while i'm at it, i hold in the highest esteem senator john mccain. for his service to our country, in uniform and in public office, and i fully support and endorse his re-election. >> again, that was just moments ago in green bay, wisconsin. donald trump not just endorsing paul ryan, the house speaker there, also trump offering his endorsement for john mccain in his re-election bid to the senate in arizona. he also gave one to senator kelly kelly ayotte of new hampshire. donald trump endorsing all three of them publicly. you could see trump reading that from a statement, staring down at the paper for most of those remarks we just showed you. notably, paul ryan the house speaker who did get donald trump's endorsement tonight, he was nowhere to be seen at this trump rally tonight. and for that matter, also not there, scott wa

when he refused to endorse ryan, it was a real problem, a humiliation for ryan priebus and mike pence. they'd been putting tremendous pressure, there's been a lot of blowback in the republican base here. again, it's kind of unusual for him to walk it back, but, again, it's not going to change the outcome. although, it's going to definitely ruin ann coulter's whole day tomorrow. >> you got her as a great example. she wrote a book that is a frankly anti-immigrant book, she says all things of offensive things. adios, america, i believe it's called. a blueprint for the nealon campaign. nealon is contemplating ethnic cleansing, the mass deportation of a religious group and he's running in a republican primary. it seems to me that pandora's box is opened and it doesn't get closed up if trump loses. >> yeah, you almost have the sense that there's gates to this toxic sewer of white supremacy that were opened up here. i would be interested to know if donald trump was asked about paul nealon's comments, would he disavow them? that may be a reason why he is bailing on all of this. so when i talk

john happy to, thank you. >>> donald trump does endorse paul ryan tonight, in ryan's home state of wisconsin, the house speaker is not going to be there to hear it. he is not the only top wisconsin republican deciding to skip the trump event. we'll look at the divide between the g.o.p. and talk "fox news sunday" anchor chris wallace coming up on fox news deck. guion beret. >> more of today's headlines. afghan officials say taliban fighters attacked minibus full of foreigners and injured five passengers. it happened in western afghanistan. a government official says the attacker shot at the minibus carrying 11 tourist from the united states, germany and england help says afghan forces rescued them and none were seriously hurt. >>> coast guard say they saved a seven-year-old man in florida from a burning sailboat this morning. flames engulfed the boat and it sank. fire officials say propane tanks exploded and the fire eventually pred to a second boat. and a tornado touched down in new orleans last night. some folks caught the funnel cloud on video as it passed of the city. it destroyed three b

strikingly similar to something we heard from paul ryan back in early may, that paul ryan wasn't there yet in endorsing donald trump. you think donald trump remembers that phrase? i have a feeling he probably does. >> i think so. >> weeks later, about a month later he did publicly give trump his backing in what was a significant moment and a significant day in the campaign. we were there when it happened. but when you talk about this idea of how this unfolded, you've got to look at that history and that context between these two candidates. ryan's office does say that he never asked for the endorsement. let me give you some background as to why. paul ryan, at least up until this point has been expected to win this race fairly hand idly. he's fairly well liked in wisconsin, expected to defeat his opponent. we will see if the trump situation has impact on the race. but right now not a lot of indication that it will. >> hallie jackson, great to have you on your phone. we will continue our reporting as it is crazy town almost every day. hallie, thanks. i want to bring in rick tyler. i have

ryan's long, hot summers continues. donald trump will not endorse ryan. now his primary challenger is starting to apply some pressure. the "washington post's" robert costa joins us from our kenosha bureau. >> a good bureau. >> we'll be right back. my experience with usaa is awesome. homeowners insurance life insurance automobile insurance i spent 20 years active duty they still refer to me as "gunnery sergeant" when i call being a usaa member because of my service in the military to pass that on to my kids something that makes me happy my name is roger zapata and i'm a usaa member for life. usaa. we know what it means to serve. get an insurance quote and see why 92% of our members plan to stay for life. introduces new, easy-to-swallow tablets. so now, there are more ways, for more people... to experience... complete protection from frequent heartburn. nexium 24hr. the easy-to-swallow tablet is here.

and so will ryan held. he's the guy, remember him? he became instantly famous because he was on that relay team with michael phelps, got on the stand, got very emotional. what a nice guy. sat down with his gold medal around his neck. i had a chance to talk to him. i talked to his parents, as well. here's a little bit of what he told me. >> you know, that symbol stands for so many things, and for -- and for so many people. that means it's really important to them. obviously a lot of people have, like, honorably given their lives for what that flag stands for. and, you know, seeing that flag rise to the first position, and with the national anthem playing in the background, i think that just kind of made me emotional. >> reporter: first-time olympian, will be back in 2020, and tonight the premiere event is going to be the best women's gymnastics team arguably that has ever been, competing for team gold. it will be a shock, thomas roberts, if they don't take it home. >> we'll all be watching, chris jansing, appreciate it. >>> olympic cov

ryan's office didn't. neither speaker ryan nor anyone on his team has ever asked for donald trump's endorsement. we're very confident of victory next week. regardless, chaos. >> there's a mccain commercial i want to show you later. >> chaos and kamikaze behavior. think about yesterday as willie suggested after he attacked the khan family, gold star family, 22 million veterans in this country, people upset. a story comes out in "the new york times" that talks about his lack of military service, his five deferments, which is in contradiction to things he said years ago to tim russert about why he hadn't served. on that day in this context, he stands up on stage with as mika talked about somebody else's purple heart and makes a glib comment about that. >> a replica. >> and then claims that the conversation he had with the gentleman who gave him the purple heart that the gentleman told him it was the real purple heart. a few minutes later that guy is interviewed by reporters. i didn't tell trump that. i told h

what does paul ryan say? >> he hasn't said much, and that's kind of in keeping with the way paul ryan tends to be in situations like this. his campaign spokesman simply said they never asked for donald trump's endorsement. that's what he's saying publicly, but i can tell you, erin, privately, in talking to paul ryan's closest friends and confidants many of whom have endorsed donald trump, they're just stunned. they're stunned because of the fact that clearly, ryan has not been all that comfortable with endorsing trump with going out and doing even what he did at his convention, nominating mike pence, formally being the person to do that as his vice presidential running mate, but donald trump, i mean, you know, we don't know, we haven't spoken to him, but it's hard to imagine what paul ryan said in the past few days about donald trump going at that time with gold-star parent, the parents who spoke at the dnc. he was very tough and others were, too, including john mccain, and it's pretty clear that donald trump

when you take on paul ryan, you are not just taking on paul ryan, you are taking on the chamber of commerce, the koch brothers, wall street, you are taking on all the transnational elites who will do anything to keep their speaker in congress. [boos] -- howonsider have others have feared before others -- us. paul ryan has never faced a real primary challenge. he is run nearly unopposed for 20 years. historically, u.s. representatives from wisconsin are rarely challenged. observed that from 1950 to 2014, less than one in five wisconsin u.s. representatives faced primary challengers. one wisconsinly u.s. representative has ever lost his primary. but we took on the challenge because we knew that despite the odds we could not continue to be aset and sit down and watch we were led by a man who does not only look down upon our desires, but actively fights against them at every turn. we know how the people of our district and state feel. we have seen the polls. we know seven out of 10 republicans in wisconsin favor a pause in muslim migration. we know a majority of wisconsin republican voters reje

the ryan snub is not sitting well reince priebus. he's been defending donald trump and trying to get the party behind their nominee. adding to trump's troubles are comments from republicans like meg whitman, a major republican fund raiser, a former ceo of hewlett pa-packard is not alone jumping ship. quoting her, i will vote for hillary. i will talk to my republican friends about helping her. i will donate to her campaign and try to raise money for her. from the outside, these interior battles point to a fractured campaign and party. donald trump tweeted, this there is great unity in my campaign perhaps greater than ever before. i want to thank everyone for your tremendous support. beat crooked "h." dana bash has been doing lots of reporting on this. da dana what's the latest you're hearing on the division, disruption emerging inside the gop. >> the very latest is at least in my experience in covering presidential politics which is a few cycles, something that was pretty unprecedented which is about an hour ago a little more i got a

slow to come around to ryan, ryan was slow to come around to trump. and for a while, it even appeared trump's sympathies were with ryan's long-shot primary challenger, businessman paul nehlen. >> i build things, create jobs. >> reporter: last week, when trump thanked nehlen on twitter for "your kind words, very much appreciated," nehlen went from nobody to somebody. >> mr. trump and i are absolutely crisply aligned on being against bad trade deals that paul ryan supports. >> reporter: the race here is symbolic of the larger split in the g.o.p. over trump, whose base of support sees ryan as the personification of the establishment they oppose. at the eastern end of ryan's district in kenosha, glen woods is a constituent, but no fan. >> paul might as well get a hillary t-shirt when he gives his next speech. >> reporter: to the west in janesville, ryan's home town, cafe owner angela collas says the primary here has been hot. >> it seems kind of crazy, chaotic, out of hand. >> reporter: as for paul nehlen, he says just giving ryan a run is a victory of so

at some point we'll come through with paul ryan. he wants to give him a taste of his own medicine because don't forget, paul ryan did the exact same thing to him. >> i'm sure it was in part an effort to belittle paul ryan and make this seem worse. but also it served an important purpose for trump. they put this story out. remember, "the washington post," which trump forbids to cover his campaign rallies as a news outlet, he invited them in at the beginning of the week to make sure it was clear that he did not endorse ryan and that he was against mccain. so he put this story out there. it is a counterweight to the problems with the khan family. in one sense, it's been a very bad week for donald trump. but in another sense, he had this story as a counternarrative, and at the end, paul ryan was going to win anyway. and now donald trump can claim some of the credit for that. >> well, there you go. and i'm sure we'll hear from him on that front when paul ryan does win. from a media perspective, what's your thought on the coverage of this

>> ryan. he said that ryan was the one who was most upset and he attributes this -- these are just -- we just heard this now -- we'll have to get back to you. we will try to supply you with -- one of the two -- i'm not sure who -- attributed the extreme conduct to ryan. he said he was extremely -- intoxicated, and under the effects of alcohol. >> we still can't answer if he is the only one that is responsible. at the end of our investigation we will be able to tell you. >> interpreter: question cannot be heard. >> we -- it was matter of days, just so that you understand better, the olympic games are still ongoing. the police's day-to-day activities go on. police stations are open and doing their -- there's a tremendous demand now for their services because of the olympic games. so, several police forces, both local, state and federal, are having to coordinate their activities. the command and control center for the olympics is trying to coordinate all the activities through that general coordi

he shouldn't have said anything like it as paul ryan made cheer. trump tweeted media desperate to distract from clinton's anti-2 a stance. the problem with that is that when trump spoke today his prescription was what second amendment people could do if hillary wins and begins picking judges they don't like. the call was loud and condemn that toir. it is an assassination threat says chris murphy. we h elizabeth warren says trump makes death threats because he he's a pathetic coward who can't handle the fact that he's looszing to a girl. clinton's campaign statement -- but strongest of all was dan who had to deal with the shootings and what he had said on "hardball" earlier tonight. >> it is a sickness. it's an evil and republicans and democrats have to stand up to this. i am infuriated that someone running for the highest office in our nation would play with the kind of language. this is not a dog whistle. it is a confrontation which he is calling for. >>> also the appearance last night of the orlando mass shooter's father standing behind hillary c

paul ryan is at the podium. we'll get back to you guys. stay right there. >> we saw federal, state, and local offices in wisconsin today. it's hard work, and i'm grateful we had so many capable candidates to take part in the democratic process. i want to highlight one candidate in particular who is on the ballot in wisconsin tonight. mike gallagher. mike gallagher just won the eighth congressional district republican primary. he is a marine veteran with an impressive background in national security. the eighth district is a seat that needs to stay republican. it's going to be a hard fought race, and i am very much looking forward to campaigning with mike during this fall in the campaign. i also want to speak to the residents of southern wisconsin. on behalf of jana, myself, and our kids, thank you. thank you for your trust. thank you for your confidence. thank you for your support in my efforts. i'm a fifth generation janesville native, and i've been honored to serve. it's been one of the best experiences of my lifetime, and i'm humbled th

so ryan lochte then sat down. can you see them sitting on a curb there if the surveillance video and at some point they negotiated a deal. so the four swimmers came up with a $20 u.s. bill and $100 rio, that's about $50 u.s. so they handed that over to the taxi and left. and two women in a separate vehicle apparently with them but we don't know much more about their story. they say they were with the four swimmers. that's pretty much all we know. authorities saying that ryan lochte's account, his sworn account, sporn statement to police was not true and one of the u.s. swimmers with ryan lochte that night believing that police -- believing the story police gave today, that that was not a robbery in fact that they encountered here early sunday. >> and ron the question is what happens next. lochte is here in the united states. his teammates i guess still in brazil. some of them talking to authorities here. there is no decision on charging here? what do we know in terms of possible charges and what would happen to lo

paul ryan, i fully support him. scott walker also threw his support behind ryan tweeting we stand for paul ryan. >>> the obama administration is shooting down a report that some officials warned against that secret $400 million shipment to iran as lawmakers demand answers. the justice department is refuting "the wall street journal's" latest piece. the paper reported that senior officials objected to sending the money at the same time iran was releasing four americans in january but that their concerns were overruled by the state department. they tell pete williams it fully supported the outcome of the administration resolution of several issues with iran. it was returning iranian cash, part of the settlement of a decade's long dispute other a failed arms deal. the state department rejected the journal's claim saying this was fully an interagency decision and that any notion the state department had the power to overrule is false. the move renewed lawmaker's opposition to the white house's nuclear deal with iran. ho

he shouldn't have said anything like it as paul ryan made cheer. trump tweeted media desperate to distract from clinton's anti-2 a stance. the problem with that is that when trump spoke today his prescription was what second amendment people could do if hillary wins and begins picking judges they don't like. the call was loud and condemn that toir. it is an assassination threat says chris murphy. elizabeth warren says trump makes death threats because he he's a pathetic coward who can't handle the fact that he's looszing to a girl. clinton's campaign statement -- but strongest of all was dan who had to deal with the shootings and what he had said on "hardball" earlier tonight. >> it is a sickness. it's an evil and republicans and democrats have to stand up to this. i am infuriated that someone running for the highest office in our nation would play with the kind of language. this is not a dog whistle. it is a confrontation which he is calling for. >>> also the appearance last night of the orlando mass shooter's father standing behind hillary clinto

paul ryan is at the podium. we'll get back to you guys. stay right there. >> we saw federal, state, and local offices in wisconsin today. it's hard work, and i'm grateful we had so many capable candidates to take part in the democratic process. i want to highlight one candidate in particular who is on the ballot in wisconsin tonight. mike gallagher. mike gallagher just won the eighth congressional district republican primary. he is a marine veteran with an impressive background in national security. the eighth district is a seat that needs to stay republican. it's going to be a hard fought race, and i am very much looking forward to campaigning with mike during this fall in the campaign. i also want to speak to the residents of southern wisconsin. on behalf of jana, myself, and our kids, thank you. thank you for your trust. thank you for your confidence. thank you for your support in my efforts. i'm a fifth generation janesville native, and i've been honored to serve. it's been one of the best experiences of my lifetime, and i'm humbled th

ryan's opponent is a big fan of what i'm saying. big fan. that, you may remember, mirrors what ryan said about trump when asked, at first, if he was endorsing trump. >> now you have a presumptive nominee, donald trump. will you support him? >> well, to be perfectly candid with you, jake, i'm just not ready to do that at this point. i'm not there right now. >> okay. so, he used those words. then here is donald trump on john mccain. i've never been there with john mccain because i've always felt that he should have done a much better job for the vets. he has not done a good job for the vets. i've always had a difficult time with john for that reason. our vets are not being treated properly. they're not being treated fairly. on kelly ayotte, i don't know kelly ayotte. she has given me zero support yet i'm leading her in the polls. we need fighters in this country. we don't need weak people. we have enough of them. are these the people that should be representing us? okay. you tell me. long introto our panel. mercedes sclap and syndicated column

he's now in with ryan, with mccain, with ayotte. and, doug, i think he actually endorsed you, but we just didn't have time to play the tape. >> i would welcome it. you know, donald trump did what he had to do, governor, at a time when his poll numbers are sinking. he is behind by four points in georgia, behind in three other swing states substantially. the national polls have been sinking. he made the right decision. the question is why this took so long and how many more flip-flops there will be. >> all right. kelly, last week my in box was getting filled up with every day saying, what's trump doing? why is he not on the attack to hillary? he's off on these other tangents. and tonight after that speech, as people were watching, those same people were blowing out my inbox saying, this is the donald trump we want to see. and they're all happy. so was this a turning point for the trump campaign moving forward? >> yes, governor, i believe it was. i actually think you'll look back at today as a really great day for trump/pence, and a te
