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

>> 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

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

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

>> 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

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

, 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 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

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

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

nats ; ryan walkup the day before tuesdays primary ; the first question paul ryan the green bay packers. ryan 13:01:10 weve got a new defensive lineman from indiana ; that guys looking really tough :14xxx ryan took a handful of questions from employees at a&e tools in racine. no one asked about his primary opponent, delevan businessman paul nehlen, or republican presidential nominee donald trump, who endorsed ryan last week after at first withholding support while praising nehlen. nats; nehlen walkup also monday, nehlen stood outside ryans district office in janesville, continuing to blast the house speaker for failing to secure the bordr. nehlen, with polling showing a 60-point margin. but nehlen says, dont believe it. nehlen 15:33:52 im knocking tens of thousands of doors per week. were hearing it on the streets. paul ryan is scared. :00 nehlen has endorsed several of trumps controversial policies. while ryan at times has criticized trump. on monday, he mentioned the gop nominee once, on the topic of trade. ryan 13:11:22 and thats why what donald trump says is right — which is,

so then what we're left with is ryan lochte telling a story about a robbery when the reality is ryan lochte and his friends were there breaking property, damaging and destroying property at the gas station and then leaving without paying. and the cops are saying we just -- or the security is saying we used force not to get money out of him but to keep them there until the cops came. now, did they use force to rob them? apparently the cops don't think so. apparently the cops think they were just being held and lochte is making all this stuff up. that, i think, is going to form the basis of this. >> is there any -- how much money was actually paid from lochte and his colleagues to the gas station or to the management? was it greatly in excess of what the damage was, the vandalism? >> well, they settled for a certain amount, and then ryan threw in $100 tip for their trouble. so they seemed to agree on what the amount was. and then ryan threw another 100 in. that, to me, sounds like not somebody who gets robbed. you don't generally give a robber a tip, at least in my world. and, you know

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 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

slow to come around to ryan, ryan was slow to come around to trump. and for a while, it even 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 st 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 sorts.ic can you beat the speaker of the house? i really have already won. >> reporter: but whe

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

[cheers and applause] paul ryan. he's a good man and he's a good guy. we may disagree on a couple things, but mostly we agree and we are going to get it done and 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 reelection. very important. [cheers and applause] >> we'll work together. i also fully support and endorse senator kelly ayotte of new hampshire. a state i truly love. primarily because that was my first victory. but i loved new hampshire. it's one of the most beautiful places. 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'll grow our majority in the house and in the senate. we need that. we have got to get things done. arm in arm we'll rescue the nation from the obama-clinton disaster which is exactly what it is, that has bled our country dry and spread terro

paul ryan's a different story. >> right. it's never been a comfortable marriage between trump and ryan. what really shocked me, though, you're right, we started this day really paul ryan was in the spotlight. he's being pressed so many ways about you have to push him away, you have to repudiate, he's not the future of the party, he's not the future for you as a politician. >> he is getting, talk about back seat driven. no one is getting more than him. >> yet by president obama challenging republicans to say push him out of your party, republicans hate president obama. this is going to push them back to trump. >> except trump does what? pushes ryan back the other way. >> right. total trolling him. >> i'm with you, i actually think obama's words made it harder for republicans to repudiate trump. >> totally. >> i absolutely believe that because of this binary feel. >> the enemy of my enemy is my friend. >> so we have got paul ryan, who i think is such a hero to the american people in ways that may never be recognized because he

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 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 walker,

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. >>

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

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

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

police are looking for the people involved. >> ryan: turning to a afghanistan. seven students killed when two people stormed the campus of american university in kabul. students barricaded themselves calling family members. >> she was' worrying crying telling me pray for me because maybe this is my last time that i talk to you. >> reporter: two attackers firing at well. the sprawling american university in central kabul. first a car bomb then two men with grenades and guns safe, so, therefore we jumped from the second floor. >> reporter: afghan forces responded with u.s. force there is to advise. >> the security situation inside of afghanistan is one that is concerting. >> reporter: this morning in kabul more than 100 students trapped inside were finally freed. police say the two gunmen were killed. no group claimed responsibility for the attack. three people are still in serious condition in the hospitals and the university remains closed. authorities in delaware investigating the death of a line. the 59-year-old fell 40 feet from the zip line. the safety proce

paul ryan says: "we knew we were going to do well. we received the vote 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. " a lot of attention came to this primary election, and donald trump refused at first to throw his support behind ryan, before late last week endorsing him. in the end, ryan got 90 percent of the vote in waukesha county, 80 percent in racine county, 76 percent in kenosha county, and that spells trouble perhaps for donald trump here in southeast wisconsin. he lost this congressional district -- ryan's district -- by nearly 20 percent in april to ted cruz. in janesville, theo keith, fox6 news. but says this is only the beginning. following his loss-- he spoke to a small crowd in janesville, saying this isn't the last time he'll work to have his voice heard. the message to paul ryan is we are dissatisfied with his representation of

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

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

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. >
