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

>> 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

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

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

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

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 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

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

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

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

>> 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

means what paul ryan thinks it means. because he said the judge references donald made was beyond the pale. a whole lot of what donald trump is doing exists beyond the realm of what is acceptable to paul ryan. it just seems like -- john phillips, donald trump supporter, you know, what's your message to paul ryan, the highest elected official in your party? >> well, i don't think it's to his benefit to engage in these side shows either. paul ryan has an opponent back in wisconsin. he should worry about that. trump has an opponent in clinton, he should worry about her. every day trump spends feuding with paul ryan or feuding with someone else is a did i he doesn't spend calling hillary clinton a pathological liar. >> we got to run right now -- >> democrats are going to hang this around trump. >> thanks, guys, thank you, hilary, thank you, all. >>> coming up for us what does senator graham think about all this including trump's refusal to endorse his friend john mccain who is also up for re-election? >> plus, can you say kis

his fight with speaker ball ryan. he gave a speech on tuesday that was praised widely and yet here we are in another controversy. >> but, steven, it seems with this one, though, as much as the trump camp was quick to react with a statement, that doesn't seem to be much continuity, talking about what giuliani said and what donald trump said talking to sean hannity, sean hannity saying obviously what you're saying there's a strong political movement in the second amendment and people mobilize the vote they can top hillary clinton. but that's not how the media is spinning it. here's his reaction to that question. >> nobody in that room thought anything other than what you just said. this is a political movement. this is a strong powerful movement. the second amendment. you know, hillary wants to take your guns away. she wants to leave you unprotected in your home. this is a tremendous political movement. the nra, as you know, endorse me, they're terrific people, wayne, chris, all of the people over there. by the way, the

ryan and alison. >> jim, thank you. the man who climbed to the 21st floor of trump tower in manhattan is going through a psychiatric evaluation. we know the 19-year-old is from virginia. his climb using high power suction cups went on for three hours. officers tried to talk him down, but cornered him by removing windows. emergency personnel dragging him into the building. the man explained his motives in the youtube video saying he wants a private audience with trump. the climber is expected to face several state charges later today. >>> happening today, hillary clinton will layout her economic plan at a speech in detroit on the heels of donald trump doing the same thing earlier this week in the same city. that's where the similarities end. where trump spotlighted his business agenda, clinton is aimed at helping the american worker. cnn's jeff zeleny has more from detroit. >> reporter: hillary clinton will deliver an economic address here in michigan today. she will be focusing on the economy in mccomb county. the count

i'm alison kosik. >> i'm ryan nobles. it is 30 minutes past the hour. happening today, donald trump set to unveil his plan for boosting the u.s. economy. in a speech to the detroit economic club, he is introducing his plans to reduce the federal debt. hillary clinton followed a bump in the polls after the conference. trump was back in full attack mode trying to make up lost ground. some republicans say they are not sure trump can win in crucial states. >> he will win in parts of ohio where people are winning. there are sections where he will win because people are angry and frustrated. i think it is difficult if you are dividing to be able to win in ohio. i think it is really, really difficult. >> particularly here in arizona. the statements he made out of the gate when he got into the campaign about those crossing the border being rapists and whatnot. that doesn't sit well. then to refer to a judge born in indiana as a mexican. you know, in a pre-ortive way. you cannot expect to win arizona with statements like that. >>

it is a legal weapon. [ 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

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.

paul ryan has no comments shall we say. >> ryan and mccain, that's a separate issue in certain ways from what cnn was hearing overnight hearing there's frustration from within the campaign staff itself. that's what donald trump is addressing right now. with staffers including up to paul manafort saying they feel like they're wasting their time because trump is not campaigning with any discipline. >> and that is a sign of real dysfunction inside a campaign. you don't get these leaks within other campaigns. there have been other periods of turmoil. but this does feel different. what history books are written, is this a turning point in the campaign process with three months to go. >> tom lobianco, what's interesting about this, all of the drama in the last five hours, five days, seven days. it takes the attention away from hillary clinton. it takes away from the resignations and fires in the dnc. >> three of them yesterday. >> three of them yesterday. maybe inconsistencies in her sta statements she heard from jim it takes all the focus away from what republicans want to be talking about. >

. >> 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

the other gold medal came from ryan murphy. his first ever olympic gold and came in the men's 100 backstroke. that's right. confused. men's 100 backstroke. this is the event the u.s. men have been dominant dating back to 1996 winning gold. almost gave murphy everything he dreamt of as a child. you have to look at the picture on social media overnight. it is a picture from murphy that he drew as a kid. he says i hope my swimming life continues and i become an olympian when i grow up and i hope to break world records. i want to be the best swimmer in the world. the end. ryan, you almost got it. you missed out on the world record by .03. the men's basketball team against venezuela last night. they were held by venezuela in the first quarter. they managed to come back as we expect they would. kevin durant with 16 points. paul george with 20. wrapping up 113-69. an interesting fact about the game. kobe bryant's cousin was in action for venezuela. he scored 19 points out of 20 shots. proving that it runs in the family. the other thin

that's the same language that ryan used to introduce trump. trump saying he's not doing a good job for the vets, and i always felt he should do a better job for the vets. i've always had a difficult time for that reason because our vets are not being treated properly. trump did not stop there, he also took aim at senator kelly ayotte, calling her a weak and disloyal leader in new hampshire. trump involved in another controversy this after he talked about a purple heart recipient at his rally yesterday in virginia. >> something very nice just happened to me. a man came up to me, and he handed me his purple heart. now, i said to him, i said to him, is that like the real one? or is that a copy? and he said that's my real purple heart. i have such confidence in you. and i said, man, that's like -- that's like big stuff. i always wanted to get the purple heart. this was much easier. >> reporter: trump already under fire for comments he made about the family of a slain muslim u.s. soldier humayun khan. both ryan and mccain did release statements def

announced his support for paul ryan. gop heavyweight, newt gingrich tells the "washington post," trump is proving himself, quote, more unacceptable than hillary clinton. and top republican donors are fleeing. silicon valley, meg whitman saying she'll help and vote for hillary clinton. at a rally moments ago, trump focused in on a $400 million u.s. payment to iran. the white house admits they secretly flew cash to iran on the very same day that iran freed american prisoners. despite the timing, the obama administration is denying the payment ransom money. i'll speak to former navy seal, carl higby. there are growing accounts of disorder and despair within the trump campaign, which sources linked to the candidate himself. let's begin with senior white house correspondent, jim acosta. jim, that's all leading to growing anxiety within the republican establishment. what are you hearing? >> reporter: that's right, donald trump will be here at raley in jacksonville, florida, later on this evening. he wrapped up an event in dayt

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

donald trump going to be coming up any moment and supposed to endorse paul ryan and ryan knows nothing about it and he will continue to speak out when he disagrees with trump. a crucial one to one. i'll hand it off to "ac 360" as the rally gets under way. >>> good evening. john berman here in for anderson. i want to show you live pictures right now from green bay, wisconsin. this is a donald trump rally happening now. that's his running mate, mike pence warming up the crowd. donald trump will take that stage in just a few minutes and we are expecting news here. we've been told that donald trump will are abouty the most recent internal party and endorse house speaker paul ryan in his primary battle. ryan is the senior elected republican in the nation and a key

the initial news that a gun was put to ryan lochte's head as ryan himself said, we had a games on edge for a few days and i think people were really concerned playing to the stereotypes we talked about for months leading into rio about what could be going wrong and the street crime and now that the story has come out and we may never know the exact thing that happened at that gas station, but the pr nightmare remains for the u.s. olympic committee and ryan lochte and the other swimmers, but i think what happened afterwards as people started to realize the story wasn't quite true everybody breathed a sigh of relief and over the last couple of days, the games end on sunday we can get back to watching athletes and giving them the attention they deserve. >> we just talked about the incredible athletes doing wonderful things. thank you very much, christine and paul. we appreciate it. >>> also breaking, a federal uj j makes a major decision on hillary clinton's private e-mails and we have that and also the heart wrenching image of this little boy captured, that little picture from aleppo com

he will apparently endorse paul ryan after he would not earlier. i asked john kasich of what he thought of trump's choice to opt out of endorsing ryan and two other senators up for reelection. >> were you surprised when donald trump declined to endorse speaker ryan, senator mccain, and speaker ayotte? >> i thought it was bizarre, right? paul, he is a guy who is positive. he wants to reach out to the people who were in poverty. he is the one that wants to lower the tax code so we don't punish the successful. kelly ayotte, okay? she is a terrific senator. i am going to do whatever i can to help her. i was just in illinois the other day helping senator kirk raising money for the house republicans in illinois. i have been for senator paul, i was in colorado. let's talk about mccain. i love john mccain. john mccain is such an amazing guy. not just an american hero, but here is a guy that served his country well. he is outspoken and takes orders from no one. he should not even have to run. he is in a tough race. i'm going out there, i don't care what it

what kind of loyalty is he showing to paul ryan? paul ryan stood up for him at the convention. paul ryan, who moved toward donald trump until the month before the convention. is this the kind of loyalty that republican officials can expect from donald trump going forward? >> look, i think if you remember when paul ryan originally spoke on this network, it took him a month from the time he said, i'm still thinking about it, i'm not there yet, before he endorsed donald trump. >> so is this payback? >> no, donald trump was the presumptive republican nominee at that time. what paul ryan, the speaker, heard was from his rank and file membership that said it's time to get behind the republican nominee who is going to be the next president of the united states. it's time to endorse him. paul ryan felt that pressure from his own internal caucus. paul ryan could have supported paul reinhart significantly earlier. but this campaign, particularly through the primary process, did not court endorsements from washington, d.c. if endorsements mattered from washington, d.c., jeb bush would be

paul ryan. good. it's a good man. he's a good man and he's a good guy. i hold in the highest esteem senator john mccain. for his service to our country and i fully support and endorse his reelection. >> trump also endorses senator kelly ayotte in new hampshire there. he campaigns in that state later today. >> the republican candidate is also revealing his list of economic advisors, the group is full of industry executives from finance and real estate. it is getting criticism for being light on economists and not including any women in the list. let's talk to peter navarro. he is one of the economic policy advisors and a professor of economics at university of california, irvine. >> how are y'all this morning? >> thank you. great to have you with us. one of the star criticisms, one of the things that stood out to people as they looked at the list, there was the absence of a woman on it. do you think there's a chance that perhaps a female may be added later? >> of course. but the real issue here, come on, let's talk about the real issue, which is trade and

paul ryan heavily favored in today's primary. paul nailin, his opponent would have to pull off a monumental upset tonight. the flap between him and donald trump was viewed by the ryan campaign as nothing more than a distraction, not necessarily something that will hurt him politically, largely because this district overwhelmingly voted for ted cruz in the april presidential primary. that's probably why donald trump turned around and en dorsd paul ryan, knowing he had to do well in southern wisconsin. paul ryan has avoided questions about donald trump over the last couple days. he spoke to voters but was avoiding talking to reporters. yesterday in a campaign stop he was asked by a voter specifically about donald trump and whether or not the party could still dump donald trump and whether or not paul ryan could run in his place. he brushed it back. >> our party is different than the democratic party. they have superdelegates where party leaders can sway the nomination. our party is a pure grassroots party. the primary voter votes,

they look at what happened with paul ryan, for example, house speaker paul ryan. they say this is something you didn't need to do by not endorsing him. in fact, paul ryan spoke out about this for the first time and the question was put to him, is there anything that trump could do to make ryan pull back his endorsement of trump? >> none of these things are ever blank checks. that goes with any situation, in any kind of race, but right now, i think it's important that the voters, you know, he won the delegates. he won the thing fair and square. it's just that simple. >> reporter: ryan also making it clear in that radio interview that, following the rnc convention, wolf, he felt as though what trump has done has been "strange" and distressing. he really wants trump to stay focused on clinton. that is the best way he and many others in the gop feels he should be moving forward now in the general election. wolf? >> jason, as you know, the trump campaign is quick to point out the crowds, as an illustration of donald trump's success. they say 10,000, 15,000 people at th

. >>> i support and endorse our speaker of the house paul ryan. i hold in the highest esteem senator john mccain and i fully support and endorse his re-election. i also fully support and endorse senator kelly ayotte of new hampshire. >> i may have short-circuited and for that, i will try to clarify. >>> newly released dash and body camera videos show the dramatic moments leading up to a deadly police shooting in chicago. the officer who fired the fatal shot is wearing a body camera but it was not recording. investigators trying to figure out why. >>> the excitement and the enthusiasm finally building around these olympics. >>> well, again, we are so pleased to have your company. >> good to have you on "new day." is that righting with donald trump changing his tune. now endorsing house speaker paul ryan and senators john mccain and kelly ayotte. >> this coming off of controversy refusing to endorse ryan and mccain and ayotte and coming off the talk of soldier khan. >> reporter: christi, donald trump wrapping up his campaign here. it's very clear th

ryan murphy. >> day four in rio. the women's gymnastics team going for back-to-back gold. >> michael phelps back in the pool. going for his 20th gold medal. >> it this is "new >>> will phelps win gold in the butterfly, yes or no? >> of course. >> there sit. good morning, welcome to your "new day." it's tuesday, august 9th, 6:00 a.m. in the east, alisyn is off. we have another first for you in this presidential election. in an open letter, a group of 50 former national security officials warned that donald trump, their party's nominee would be the most reckless president in u.s. history. this blow comes the same day that trump gave a big economic speech to reset his campaign. >>> now this morning, another blow to trump with a key republican senator saying she cannot vote for him, all of this as donald trump and hillary clinton spar over their economic vision for the country. let's begin our coverage with cnn's jason carol. jason? >> reporter: good morning to you, brianna. trump raised concerns when he questioned wheth

they look up to ryan lochte. they may very well, i'm not sure but i'll throw it out there, as a possible and considering the thought as human beings, maybe this happened, that they may have gone along with ryan lochte's story. keep in mind, it was ryan lochte's mom who first talked about this. then ryan lochte was grabbed by nbc. it was off and running on a story that now we know is not true. something so devastating to the image of brazil and to these olympic games. basically taking -- hijacking the last five days of these olympics. >> right, this should not be what the world or this country at least is talking about. bobby, to you, from a legal standpoint, whether or not ryan lochte is extrab dieted has to go back to rio to face any charges, what legal analysts i've heard are saying it depends on whether he was basically, you know, purgerjured himself or no. whether or not this was filing a fake police report or whether or not this was a sworn statement to police in which he lied. under the extradition treaty b

ryan lochte is back in the united states. his lawyer said he left and it was scheduled before the warrants were issued. nobody is reaching out to him to cooperate further. we are dealing with a confused pick picture in the early sunday hours. many are wondering how the men experienced an armed robbery, apparently, by people dressed as police carrying weapons, but still emerged carrying in their admission their cell phones. if you look at the cctv, which the judge cited in the statement pointing out how they seemed in her impression unshaken. you see they are carrying high value items. that left many brazilians and others suspicious. how do you keep things like that in your possession. a growing number of questions. that led to a court papers this morning and two taken off the plane. athletes at the top of the medal table. it seems questions asked right now, no suggestion of any major wrongdoing, but a very confusing and frankly bleak moment for an already blighted games. >>> thank you. an attorney for ryan lochte is defending

alison and ryan. >>> jim, thank you. more now on the chat where reince priebus warned trump about the damage he could inflict on down-ballot candidates. something has leading republicans worried. 75 signing a new letter urging the party to shift resources away from trump and toward at-risk house and senate candidates. trump says it never came up with his talk with the party chairman. >> i'm raising the money. other people are getting to use the money i raise. i'm the one raising. i'm in orlando. i'm going to a fund-raiser for the republican party. if they want to do that, they can save me a lot of time. >> sources familiar with the call tell cnn that priebus never threatened to shift party resources. that it is too early to make that decision. the sources say priebus did under score the need for trump to take public criticism without lashing back. priebus reportedly telling trump those candidates may need to put daylight between themselves and the top of the ticket. that is just the way politics works. >>> trump adding n

ryan is a good guy, actually. no, he is a good guy. >> all right, but trump really did put ryan in a bind. milwaukee newspaper, the journal sentinel called for ryan to disavow trump. it said what will it take, speaker ryan, if not small minded contempt for a gold star family, then what? how far must trump go. stand on principle. disavow donald trump. as i said, it has left ryan to walk this fine line. this is what he said on talk show host, jerry bader show. >> none of these things are blank checks. that goes with any situation, in any kind of race. right now, it is important that the voters, you know, he won the delegates. he won the thing fair and square. it is just that simple. >> okay, with me now is jerry bader, who hosted paul ryan just yesterday. welcome, jerry, welcome back. >> morning. >> good morning. should paul ryan disavow donald trump? well, in my opinion, obviously i'm #nevertrump, but he has to do something. i kind of agree with trump here. if you're going to support him [ inaudible ] >> i'm going

echoing what paul ryan said earlier. so far, pence is doing well. >> we saw pictures of paul ryan and his challenger. he actually praised the challenger to paul ryan. it is not just he is not there yet. he is not there and i like the guy running against you. >> what does this mean next tuesday? paul ryan, by all accounts, is leading and going to win. what does it mean for trump to not quite backed paul ryan and praise his opponent. >> what does it mean with reince priebus and donald trump? >> oh, poor reince. i think he is in an impossible position. >> is it musings within the republican party that what if donald trump doesn't follow through? is that somebody's crazy inside conspiracy theory? >> i heard this yesterday. are we really talking about the idea donald trump would withdraw cana candidacy? it has been out there. the fact it is even discussed probably speaks volumes about what we're seeing in terms of a possible break up with the republican party. >> you don't think it could happen? >> i don't see any scenario wh

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

ryan, welcome to the panel. donald trump likes to talk about how he thinks the election is rigged against him. watch this. >> in theory, it should be the easiest, but it's a rigged system. it's a totally rigged system. the elections are rigged. and i'm afraid the election's going to be rigged, i have to be honest. because i think my side was rigged, and i'm telling you, november 8, we better be careful because that election's going to be rigged. >> okay, so, ryan, you shot off a series of 24 tweets after sean hannity raised doubts about how many romney votes were counted in 2012. and here's what you wrote. i said, i'm an inspector of elections, independent but was a republican as recently as june. number two, people like me sign off on election results on every division in philly, we take jobs seriously, certifying the accurate will of people. and then number three, you said, claim that 59 divisions of philadelphia engaged in electoral fraud is absurd and personally insulting. what do you think when you hear tru

very much opposed to the paul ryans of the world. it sounded like they were playing and it was very revealing when he says says who? when he seems to challenge what the polls are showing. he told me tonight he said he thinks he's being misconstrued and he believes trump will do better than the polls are showing. >> just because we have it. let's show it again because it is the most amazing exchange that occurred today. let's just watch. >> you say it's not a shake-up, but you guys are down -- >> says who? >> polls. >> says who? >> most of them. all of them. >> says who? >> polls. i just told you. i answered your question. >> okay. which polls? >> all of them. >> so he's saying it's misconstrued. >> that's an important point here. he said afterward that that he doesn't care about the polls and they're edging toward us for denialism, and the same denialism, and some mitt romney supporters and the polls were all wrong and they're tilted in favor of president obama and they couldn't believe the numbers and to the extent they were the sam

and donald trump walking back his comments on paul ryan. now endorsing the house speaker. >> he's also endorsing, by the way, senators john mccain, kelly ayotte. this comes after a week of trump going off-message, criticizing gop leaders, and enflaming a muslim gold star family. i want to bring in cnn's scott mcclain right now. scott, fill us in on what donald trump said overnight. >> yeah, hey, christi. not only did donald trump try to smooth things over with his own party, he also stayed on message, upping his rhetoric against hillary clinton, calling her the queen of corruption. now, that's the target that speaker paul ryan says trump should have been focused on the whole time. instead, he spent much of the last week feuding with people within his own party. saying just a few days ago, that he wasn't quite ready to endorse paul ryan or john mccain or kelly ayotte, and that angered plenty of people within the party. now, just on john mccain, just a few days ago, he said, he wasn't a big fan of mccain, saying he hadn't done enough to help

ryan lochte is back in the united states. his lawyer said he left as he was scheduled and it was before the warrants were issued. at this stage, nobody is reaching out to him to cooperate further. we are dealing with a confused picture of the early morning hours of sunday morning. many brazilians and spokesperson we talked to today is wondering how the men experienced an armed robbery, apparently by people dressed as police carrying weapons, but still emerged carrying their cell phones. if you look at the cctv, the judge cited, pointed out how they seemed unshaken after the ordeal. you see they are carrying high value items. that left many brazilians and police suspicious. how do you get through an armed robbery in brazil and still keep things like that in possession? it is adding to a growing number of questions. that led to the court papers this morning. now two athletes taken off the plane. athletes from the team at the top of the medals table. it is their word against rio authorities. it seems at the moment. simply questi

ryan had nothing to do with gangs. he would have no use for gangs. >> the only thing he ever did wrong in his life was go to a party and stand next to his friend so that a couple of wannabe gangbangers could shoot him down in cold blood. and it just goes to show you that violence can affect anybody anytime. somebody can step up to the plate with an automatic weapon and take your life in two seconds. >> juan and eric were identified as the shooters in this case by eyewitness statements and also by the intended victim of the shooting, angel delucas. >> the cadillac was found 50 minutes after the incident started. the car had already been abandoned. the engine was hot. it was smoking. you could tell that it had been revved up and driven fast. >> they were able to tie that vehicle to the house that the brothers lived in with their mother. inside the house, we'd found items that appeared as if they'd left in the middle of the night. went to the closet, put their arms around a rack, gathered clothes and left. >> it suggests

and ryan lochte may be in many people's minds glossed over this morning. >> ryan lochte spoke with nbc's matt lauer in a little more than 20 minutes. >>> brazilian police say he was nothing more than a vandal. >> how do you feel about the way you've handled yourself since early sunday morning when this all went down? >> since everything that's happened, i've kind of being laying low. i had those statements. i talked to you. but before i wanted to go out on camera, i wanted to really make sure these other guys came back on u.s. soil. which i just found out that's why i'm doing this today. jimmy just came back. he was the last person to come back. >> let me play devil's advocate for a second. had you come out and set the record earlier, gunnar and jack may not have been stopped and had their passports impounded. couldn't you have taken away a lot of their problems? >> by all means. this is why i'm taking full responsibility for my actions, because if i didn't overexaggerate the story to what i said when i did it when it first happened with billy bush and yourself and i told you the full st

swimmer ryan lochte. on sunday, usoc will take action against lochte and the three swimmers involved. that came 24 hours after lochte admitted the finer points of his story had been incorrect. take a listen. >> as you said, at some point after you refused to sit down, the security guard put the gun to your forehead and cocked it. that didn't happen? >> that didn't happen. that's why i overexaggerated that part. >> why did you do that? >> i don't know why. you know it was still hours after the incident. i was still intoxicated. i'm not making me being intoxicated an excuse. it was my fault. >> reporter: many people here as you imagine hoping these games won't be remembered for that story. rather for the spectacle and samba and slice of south american history. if you forgive me, i wear my hat with pride. my last shot after three weeks of the olympic games. >> it will be hard to get you back on the plane. thanks so much. >> that is not a rough assignment at all. three weeks in brazil. >>> let's get an early
