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

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 fared 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 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 have seen the polls. we know that seven out of 10 republicans in wisconsin favor a pause in muslim

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,

i'm jadiann thompson. >> ryan: i'm ryan schulteis, 7 news at 5:00 starts right now. investigation in southern california. police searching the home of superstar chris brown. >> kim: owen la brie's victim speaking out for the first time since the prep school rape trial. >> reporter: when is our next chance to get some much-needed rain? >> adam: tom brady sidelined. >> come back to be the best i can be just like every other year. >> adam: he is keeping things positive as he heads into his four-game suspension. >> announcer: 7 news at >> kim: we're following breaking news first at 5:00, an investigation under way at singer chris brown's house in california. police called to his home early this morning after a woman called 911. so he is now being interviewed by police as they also search his home. >> adam: this is not the first time brown has been in trouble with the law. ryan schulteis joins us with more. >> reporter: police are searching chris brown's home performing a protective sweep before interviewing people inside. of brown's california home for hours while brown

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

i'm sarah french. >> ryan: and i'm ryan schulteis. "today in new england" returns at 9:00 with your latest news and weather. ng. >>> good morning. it's a wrap. rio throws a massive party to bring the olympic games to a close. >>> five-time medalist simone biles leading team usa after an historic medal haul. another u.s. athlete is still making headlines. ryan lochte opening up in an exclusive interview about that gas station incident he initially described as armed robbery. >> i overexaggerated that story. if i had never done that, we wouldn't be in this mess. >> this morning why lochte and three of his teammates could face more disciplinary action. >>> a softer trump? donald trump's new campaign manager suggests he could be walking back his plan to deport 11 million undocumented

>> well, he used probably not a coincidence, very similar language about ryan that ryan initially used about him when he declined to immediately endorse trump, when he became the presumptive nominee. here's what trump said about paul ryan who has a primary race in his house district a week from today. i like paul but these are horrible time for our country. we need a very strong leadership. we need very, very strong leadership. and i'm not quite there yet. i'm not quite there yet. so those again are the terms, the words that paul ryan used. tapper initially talking about donald trump. we should say since then ryan has endorsed donald trump. obviously went to the convention, presided over the convention, despite his obvious misgivings. just in the last few minutes we've gotten a statement from ryan's campaign back in wisconsin. basically saying that neither speaker ryan nor anyone on the team has ever asked for trump's endorsement and he feels confident he will win his primary a week from today in wisconsin. but let's just take a step back about why we are doing breaking news. it is not

speaker ryan is nothing more than a party of speaker ryan. he is trying to undermine our party's nominee at every opportunity. he should be reporting in-kind contribution to the hillary clinton campaign. that's what speaker rooi eer ry trying to do because he thinks he's going to run in 2020. nobody wants paul ryan's policies of giving away american workers' jobs. nobody wants it. paul ryan wants it because that's what his donors want. that's what they've paid him for. and we apparently don't pay well enough here in wisconsin first district. paul ryan's donors put $10 million in into his campaign. i raised over $1 million in small donations from around the country and i put $100,000 in my own money in this. nobody died and left me money. i started in a factory at 18 years old. i was on the engineering degree at night. i've run that factory and factories all over the u.s. i brought jobs back from mexico, from canada, from china. i was a vp in fortune 500. i ran europe, the middle east and africa. paul ryan has no business whipping the votes fo

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

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

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 beheeind 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 and i wouldn't want to mess with that. but when (my) back pain got bad, i could

the question now well ryan's attack on donald trump cost ryan his house seat? donald trump loud to not support ryan in his primary election next week. i will be talking with the businessman candidate who is trying to oust speaker ryan paul newland among our guests tonight. our top story donald trump on the campaign trail in virginia today saluting an iraq war veteran who presented a presidential nominee with his purple heart. >> something very nice as happened to me. a man came up to me and he handed me his purple heart and he said that's my real purple hearts. i have such confidence in you and i said man, that's like dig stuff. i always wanted to get the purple heart. this was much easier. lou: the trump campaign lining up family members of the benghazi victims to speak of mr. trump's behalf. they are pushing back against the clinton claim that she did not blame the benghazi attack on the youtube video. charles woods who is the father of tyrone woods address the controversy. >> there are two options. one is either mrs. clinton is lying or she has a bad memory

trump later endorsed paul ryan and paul ryan won handedly. one reason why he won handedly, donald trump is not popular in this division. but ted cruz won overwhelmingly in the april primary. that's one reason why paul ryan is not afraid to criticize donald trump. i asked paul ryan at his press conference after the primary, what he thinks about donald trump comments about second amendment enthusiasts possibly taking matters into their own hands, and this is what he had to say. >> i heard about the sec amendment quote. it sounds like a joke gone bad. i hope he clears it up. >> reporter: today showcases the strength, the party establishment over the tea party insurcgents seeing it happen rae after race. and tim feels kamp last week. and the senate majority leader defeated the candidate. he did not want to run in that race as well. showed that the party leadership knows how to win on the congressional level. but when it comes to the presidential level, that's a whole different problem, ryan and alison. >> hillary clinton is ready to give a big sp

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 that willnal elites 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. only one wisconsin u.s. representative has ever lost his primary. on the challenge because we knew that despite the 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 have seen the polls. we know that seven out

one-up paul ryan. this is the problem with donald trump. he always does something to put himself on the front pages and then gripes the fact the media is not covering hillary clinton. i think the media would cover hillary clinton more if donald trump spent less time trying to be on the front pages of newspaper and the lead story in many of the news stories that come out even on cnn or anyplace else. >> right before the endorsement, he quoted your father. let's listen to this. >> i understand an embrace the wisdom of ronald reagan's big tent within the party, big, big tent. remember, ronald reagan. great man. brave guy. remember he included reagan democrats and independents and republicans, lot of people. we're going to have the same thing. there are a lot of democrats perhaps in this room. are there a lot of democrats in this room? raise your hands. eh. i mean, i don't think we need too many, to be honest with you. so i embrace the wisdom that my 80% friend is not my 20% enemy. ronald reagan. stated by

paul ryan should be the representative for which show him trailing ryan by 60- plus points. nats — ryan event not one person asked ryan about nehlen during a town hall with employees at a&e tools in racine. in fact, the first question was about the green bay packers. ryan 13:01:10 weve got a new defensive lineman from indiana — that guys looking really tough :14xxx the number of t-v cameras and national news outlets covering ryans event shows the national attention on the race, despite the wide polling margin. donald trump has been an issue here, with nehlen endorsin trumps more controversial policies and earning praise from the gop nominee. ryan has at times been critical of trump. on monday, he mentioned the gop nominee only once, on the topic of trade. ryan 13:11:22 and thats why what donald trump says is right — which is, we want good trade agreements, we dont want bad ones, we want good ones :27 but in an economy like this, youve got to have good ones so we can make it here to sell it over there, instead of making it there to sell over there. thats the

he supported paul ryan when donald trump has not supported paul ryan. he has come out against the idea of russians hacking into anybody in america's servers. saying that there will be severe consequences if that does turn out to be true. so this is a campaign and a ticket unlike anything we have seen before. and it certainly does not add to the idea that donald trump is presenting a cohesive message, and a cohesive campaign, despite what his aides might be trying to say. >> and just quickly, katy, anient occasion from your sources they are rattled within the campaign by this stream of numbers showing in some cases double-digit leads for hillary clinton? if we reset after rio and intercept near the debate with donald trump down double digits, where does the campaign go? where does the support go? >> reporter: you know, paul manafort this morning on cbs said it's only august, not to worry about this stuff. they will be able to come back from this. but the reality is, with the olympics coming in, and taking over coverage, there is going to be little opport

he likes paul ryan. paul ryan is a good guy. he's a good guy. >> reporter: the change in course follows days of panic inside the gop over trump's tanking poll numbers and concerns he could go serious damage to candidates down ballot. top republicans were furious that trump appeared to be playing games and double crossing ryan who already endorsed him. the speaker was barely containing his own feelings. >> heck if i know. i'm not going to try to psyc psychoanalyze this stuff. i'm not going to get involved in some petty back and forth. i see no purpose in doing that. i'm going to be me and do my thing. >> reporter: trump has also walked back his claim he seen video of that u.s. shipment of $400 million to iran that happened around the time american hostages were freed from tehran even after his own staff was telling news outlets that trump was mistaken, he was repeating the claim. >> it's interesting because a tape was made. you saw that with the airplane coming in. nice plane. the airplane coming in and the money coming offer, i

mhm, i think so. >> ryan: take a live look outside. the sun is out after a very soggy start to the day. rain has wrapped up here in boston. the sun is out. >> jadiann: you know what j.r.just said? he said it's probably going to be a nice afternoon and evening. so that is cool, right. >> reporter: yeah, especially boston north. sunshine making a return as we speak. you folks on the cape, you jar yesterday. you'd sunshine while we had the clouds. i think it's reversed today where you'll have to wait on the cape and the islands to get your sunshine back, but you will. warming trend with temperatures head back to the upper 80s and tropical storm earl no threat to anyone on the eastern seaboard. more often than not it's a none player when they pass south of san juan. when they pass north o highway alert. the latest thinking from the hurricane center crossing the yucatan peninsula over the next couple of days then into the bay of cam pesch then it makes land fall in next coas a weak tropical storm or tropical depression. elsewhere there are

ryan's opponent. trump has not endorsed house speaker ryan. trump is so unpredictable, he seems to love surprising, maybe even shocking the voters and the media. john roberts is live at the rally. >> you're right, greta. donald trump does like to shake it up. the plan that existed at noon, often doesn't exist by the time 7:00 rolls around . i checked with the campaign and told everything is on track for donald trump to throw his endorsement behind paul ryan in his republican primary next week. how this all came together was a matter of what donald trump did earlier this week. the ryan campaign, the republican national committee, had never sought out donald trump's endorsement of the house speaker. after he gave that interview in which he said i'm just not there yet when it comes to supporting house speaker ryan, the rnc thought he has to do something about it. because he is now made a non-issue an issue. so people were coming to donald trump's campaign saying you've got to do something to fix this. it looks like he's going to try to fix it ton

paul ryan -- we wouldn't even have borders if it was for paul ryan -- >> what? >> that's what tim kaine said -- >> i feel like i've heard paul ryan talk a lot about security at the border. i'm pretty sure he's never said we should abolish borders. if he does say it, i'd be the first to report it. but mr. nealon -- >> i'll tell you what, you ought to start reporting it now because paul ryan is not for securing the borders. >> you said paul ryan wouldn't have borders at all if it was up to paul ryan. >> yeah, i'll tell you, paul ryan has said america's more than its borders, it's more than this, it's more than that. we have to have a secure border first in order to have a nation. paul ryan hasn't funded that wall, that double-layered, 700-mile law that we got through congress in 2006. he has said that he's not for the wall, he said he's going to sue mr. trump. i mean, he takes every opportunity -- >> paul ryan's going to sue donald trump? >> let me pick up what you just said -- >> yeah, over the muslim immigration issue, he said he would sue donald trump, absolute

, i want paul ryan as a leader yeah, is. reporter: i charles: is his job to make sure they can win. >> why is paul ryan given his own economic policies and own town halls. >> you have to think he is look at long-term vision of the party. dedemographic facts, a huge democratic shift, young people are cynical of authority, but they want limited government, paul ryan sees an opportunity to engage the next generation, he does not want to lose them to donald trump. charles: but if they lose them to hillary, and a potential are of 8 years of hillary, the party is done. >> i don't think that is paul ryan's fault. >> kind of disagree, if we lose white house for next 8 years, if hillary clinton wins we'll be off in wilderness, if donald trump wins we could be successful and bring in very people we. i have watchd this for last 8 years, trust me on this point. >> trust me who do you sound like. >> i sound like john mccain, and mitt romney and every other -- are you just a little bit skeptical or dare i say cynical that paul ryan may be

stay tuned. >> ryan: we'll keep in touch about that. let's get a check of the ride home. >> here is a look high above downtown. 93. the zakim bridge, you can see the leverett ramps are jammed up as well both directions. 93 northbound is heavy and slow. southbound you are back befo heavy and slow volume the entire way. let's look at 128. travel times about 28 minimums from route 2 down to route 9. northbound we've been seeing a lot of delays from the mass pike up to 93 and yore. heaviest from route 2 up to andover. looking at almost an hour in the direction. the expressway heavy and slow from the tunnel down to the split. it's a very slow ride throughout the day today. as you can see we're looking at a little over a half hour northbound isn't bad. a little bit of volume up to granite avenue. as we look at the mass pike heading out of town right now backs up after the allston tolls then past newton corner. heavy after the weston tolls out to framingham. >> ryan: next here a new school opening eyes, how sean diddy combs is changing lives i

paul ryan owns that. >> mr. nehlen, you're putting me in a position i have to defend paul ryan. you're talking about issues on the campaign trail. i'm talking about the national election and the national impact of this, okay? >> sure. >> so trump has been widely criticized for his remarks about the khan family. i want to move on now. do you agree with him or not? >> look, we lost a hero. mr. trump spoke to that. mr. trump is a big boy. if you want to ask him about his comments, you ask mr. trump. i am focused on jobs for wisconsin. i'm laser focused for jobs for wisconsin. enforcing existing immigration laws. i'm not going to get distracted by the national race, because i can't affect the national race. i can affect what guess on here. and that's what i'm talking to local voters about. >> you did say paul ryan's repeated betrayals of the gop office is beneath the dignity of the speaker's office. paul ryan has spent more time attacking trump than defending americans. so you are talking about this. you did put out a statement regarding this. how is this -- >> yeah, i did put out a

donald trump needs paul ryan at this point more than paul ryan needs donald trump. that's playing out over and over again. you saw ted cruz get booed out of the convention because politics is a team sport. people want to see these leaders work together. it isn't an individual sport where you do it on your own. donald trump is going to have to continue to work to bring the party together. yesterday was a good step he's endorsed republicans running for office as well as him on the same ticket. it's on his shoulders to bring the party together and bring his team together around him. and many of these folks, he needs them more than they need him and that's the case with speaker ryan. >> peter, are you in agreement with that with that it's donald trump that needs to endeer himself to the support? >> yes, partially agreement. politics is a team sport by donald trump is not a team player. this dance with trump is becoming silly. it was silly a while ago, this effort for him to reach out and pretend he's a normal pal tigs and normal pepper. pretend there's unity. he gave a

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

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

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

the less he talks about ryan the better. >> the ryan thing is different. i think because ryan is so far ahead in his district. he's won that district up every term since i don't know. 1994 or something. it's been a long time. so he always wins that district. that's his. he would never lose it. but senators ayotte and mccain and a few others are actually in a lot of trouble in their district. in their state. so new hampshire being one of them where i thought that donald trump would actually perform a lot better there. but the recent polls are that he's down by nine or 11 points. guess who else is down by nine or 11 points? kelly ayotte. if you really care about the future of conservatism and you want to make sure you care about the supreme court you have to have republican majority in the senate. and if all of these senators are going to go down as the ticket continues to go down, then you're not going to have any of that. maybe ryan doesn't matter, but not supporting the other candidates is a problem. >> can we talk about this a little? i know they want to

in ryan's state, trump didn't do that well. that was a big who is that guy that ran against him? ted cruz. ted cruz was big there. it is helping ryan as well. he came out and said we didn't ask for his endorsement. everybody is happy. >> that's what happens in trump land. you know what my take away from your little speech is? >> i do love donald like a son. >> just because trump speaks simply it is not that it is simple. palm are saying if you use big words you must be smarter than everyone else, but mark twain wrote they seventh grade level and trump speaks clearly and thoughtfully. what trump is doing is laying down a negotiation strategy. he said if you want to play hard with me, great. i'll play hard with you. we are not used to that direct confrontational tone of voice and that's what we need in the next president of the united states. >> we better get used to it. moving on, trump is not the only candidate whose allies are concerned. aides to hillary clinton are concerned about her stubbornness. there are a number of suppo

and held out on his endorsement of ryan. trump eventually did endorse ryan ... but nehlen believes trumps early refusal sent a clear signal that ryan is not his preferred wins ... it would be a huge upset. he was asked earlier today whether he would endorse ryan ... should that not happen. sot4 we wont have a choice im not gonna roll over to the democrats side but i will tell you this, i fully suspect when i win later today, paul ryans machine will try to get the democrat elected i fully believe that trt: 12 paul nehlen. nehlen referring to the presidential race there. on the issues... he has embraced some of trumps signature ideas ... such as the important of securing the border ... and ending wasteful spending. reporting live in janesville. jenna sachs fox 6 news. mary thanks jena will it be the start of a comeback for former senator russ feingold tonight? recent polls put him well ahead of his challenger, newcomer scott harbach, in tonights primary. if feingold wins, he will go up against incumbent ron johnson democrats field office in racine. bret? there isn

comments paul ryan says: "i heard about the second amendment quote. it sounds just like a joke gone bad. i hope he clears it up very quickly. you should never joke about a think like that. i didn't actually hear the comment, i only heard about those comments." paul ryan says: "we knew we were going that we were hoping and expecting to get all along. and that's just kind of how it. the outcome is exactly what we were hoping for and expecting and desperate candidates do certain things for attention and that's what i think you saw here. " mary thanks theo the chairman of the republican national committee-- reince priebus tweeted out congratulations to ryan. calling it a well-earned victory. wanted. he held a watch party with supporters in janesville. that's where we find our jenna sachs. following his loss tonight ... paul nehlen spoke to a small crowd assembled here. his parting words ... "this is the just the beginning. tonight is just the beginning." nehlen said his fight to remove paul ryan from office ... is not over. he asked the crowd if it was wi

he is good friends with paul ryan. he even ran paul ryan's -- excuse me. he chaired his first congressional race. it was described to me, paul ryan is like family. so he is taking this personally. he has made that clear to people insidehe trump campaign. and you know, as sources described to me, reince priebus feels like he has taken on a lot of water to be there for donald trump. even as a lot of people within the republican party were not so sure this is the right thing to do. reince priebus has said look, he was elected by the vast majority of republican voters, and now he just feels like donald trump, it is a personal front to him, that trump has not decided to endorse paul ryan. again, because for reince priebus, it is not just as a party chair. it is personal. >> so there are all sorts of rumors out there, dana. one rumor that we keep hearing is donald trump may drop out of the race. is that true? >> well, we have no reporting to suggest that's true. what i can tell you, carol, there is a lot of speculation as to what donald trump is trying to do, if

kim khazei here with a close look. >> reporter: ryan, clinton's i. mail scandal is getting new attention as republicans gain access to documents they've been waiting years to see and clinton didn't testify to congress what she told the ground on trump in key demographics. hillary clinton going to philadelphia to whip up turnout. >> we're going after of the corporations. we're going after wall street so they pay their fair share. [applause] >> reporter: clinton's support is question, african americans, latino, women, city and suburban people rejecting the republican nominee. >> donald trump is doing well in rural america but hillary clinton is cleaning his clock in u suburban america. >> reporter: but her e-mail controversy is revived. the f.b.i. agreeing to turn over documents to house republicans who claim clinton lied to congress. only 19% of republicans say trump is honest and trust both. 12% of democrats say clinton is. on temperament clinton gets 39%, trump 19% from republicans including many of the educated women he supporting hillary clinton n

ryan lochte is back here in the u.s. and the three other swimmers say they'll cooperate with police in brazil. no word on if any charges will be filed here. in our newsroom, adam williams, 7 news. >> ryan: also on 7 everett police officer is accused of attacking his pregnant wife. the officer appeared before a judge and case. >> reporter: an officer in handcuffs today and in trouble with the law tonight. that brought prosecutors here to the courthouse today arguing before the judge they wanted the police officer to remain blind bars. -- behind bars. >> assault and battery on a pregnant woman. >> reporter: suspended everett police officer michael mori appearing in court following his arrest charged with assaulting his the stomach. complaining the witness was 7 months pregnant with his chiles. he made threats about getting his gun out of the safe. >> reporter: the officer coming to court hoping to be leased after a judge on tuesday ordered him held without bail. >> this is an individual who is out of control. he is someone

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

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

ryan's, ryan's different individual. i haven't had a chance to meet him but every time i was doing reality show in the past after last olympics, it is a guy likes to express himself. also a guy that seems to like the spotlight. i don't know how that really plays into what his mother reporting everything. he is a guy that likes of attention. usually a lot of athletes when they come to the olympics this is the time to capitalize on the attention because that leads to future endorsement for leading to the next olympics. rosanna: i was checking out ryan's twitter account he said he would go back to the original hair color today. what happens with this story, now, jay? what happens? is it put to bed? does it follow ryan lochte for >> i think this story is one that just keeps bringing attention to ryan lochte. the once again, i'm not saying that this didn't happen because if it did happen, then, by all due respect i feel for the young man but at the same time i say it again, ryan lochte has a history creating attention that he

>> 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
