>> it is bizarre, wolf. the experts in the agencies which track this say america has 5% of the world's population, but americans use 80% of the world's prescription drugs. the stuff kills more people in the country than car crashes, wolf. >> brian todd, thanks very much. erin burnett "outfront" starts right now. "outfront" next, breaking news. speaker of the house tells cnn he is not ready to back donald trump. will he ever be? major breaking news tonight. and we're awaiting live reaction from donald trump this hour. plus, donald trump's son, live in studio with me on paul ryan, the vp search and his father's cinco de mayo tweet. and more breaking news. a major development in the fbi's investigation into hillary clinton's e-mail server. let's go "outfront." good evening. i'm erin burnett. the breaking news. we are awaiting donald trump. he will speak live any moment. you will hear it, because this

his first rally since becoming the presumptive president yial nominee and his comments since paul ryan told cnn in the past couple hours he is not ready to support donald trump. >> what you're saying is, a fairly dramatic announcement that the speaker of the house cannot as of now support his party's nominee for president. is there something specific that he has done or said that has brought you to this moment? >> well, like i said, i hope to support our nominee. i hope to support his candidacy fully. i want to do that. but right now, i've got to tell you, jake, just being candid with you. at this point, i'm just not there right now. and it's because i think of -- part of the last campaign. i don't want to go back and roll the tape. look, i was pretty clear and outspoken on a number of occasions where i think that he did the wrong thing or said the wrong thing. i'll do that in the future if need be. i hope it's not necessary.

but i think what a lot of republicans want to see is that we have a standard bear that bears our standards and that unifies all of the wings of the republican party, which we all come from different wings of our party. we all agree on a common platform of conservative principles. we want somebody who takes these conservative prciples, applies them to the problems and offers solutions to the country that a vast majority of americans can vote for, that they want to be enthusiastic about. that is what i think it takes to unify the party. that, i think there's work that needs to be done in order to unify the party. i think our presumptive nominee needs to do that. i want to be a part of helping him do that. but right now, no. i think that, you know, there's some work to do here. >> pretty incredible statement there. and donald trump took a little time, everyone wondered what he would say, and then, well, he's about to speak in just a moment. we're going to take you there, live. what he did, though, was put out a statement. a brief one. and here's what it said. i am not ready to support speaker ryan's agenda. perhaps in the future, we can work together and come to an

agreement about what is best for the american people. they have been treated so badly for so long, that it is about time for politicians to put them first, exclamation point. trump will be taking the stage at this rally in west virginia any moment. we're waiting to see what he has to say to paul ryan. sarah, as they're awaiting donald trump to come out and comment on this, it's already something that you're hearing at this rally. >> reporter: that's right. [ inaudible ] house speaker paul ryan said he's never going to support donald trump. saying these are just more politicians afraid of donald trump coming in to shake things up. the crowd went wild. house speaker paul ryan did not say he would never support donald trump. but to fire up the crowd. i think trump hoped to come to

this rally tonight to sport of bask in the glory of becoming the presumptive republican nominee and start trying out -- [ inaudible ] we see the trump campaign try to ramp up on capitol hill. we're expecting trump himself to be on the hill to meet with folks. so it will be interesting to see if a meeting between paul ryan and trump does come together. >> thank you very much, sara murray. and when donald trump speaks there, we are going to listen to him. because we do anticipate his response, speaking to paul ryan. let's go now to dana bash, "outfront" in washington. and dana, you know, this is -- this is an incredible moment, right? the presumptive nominee of the republican party, and now in a standoff with the highest elected republican in the united states of america. i mean, the stakes could not be higher. paul ryan did not do this lightly. he did not do this in passing. he thought about it, he considered it, he decided to come on cnn. what was his thinking?

>> reporter: well, my understanding is, first of all, he did it because he followed his gut. that he genuinely wasn't prepared for this kind of development, meaning that donald trump would be the presumptive nominee. so soon. he was preparing for a contested convention, which as speaker of the house, he would be and still will be the chair of that convention. and i am told that that was the first priority for him. the other thing that i am told and reminded of is that he is all of those things. he is the leader of the republican party, the leader of the house republicans. and he speaks for them, not just as a party, but also as a body that is looking to their own constituents. so this allows all of the members of the republican rank and file inside the house to have some running room, to have some breathing room. to not feel obligated to endorse donald trump.

and it gives them some space to do so. it really is absolutely -- i sort of run out of adjectives to describe some of the things that happened throughout this 2016 election cycle. but i -- seismic is the word i used earlier and i still think that is absolutely the case. another source i will quickly tell you said that what he wants to do is provide a light house through the fog for republicans. and he does see himself as an absolute leader. and he's trying to be that way for the party right now, as they try to figure things out to give leverage to the people who are trying to do so. >> right. and, of course, this is a man who had and we presume still has on some level his own presidential ambitions. when we're talking about paul ryan. you just got off the phone with someone else who also, of course, was originally among the 17 running against donald trump or 16 running against donald trump, rick perry, former governor of texas. and pretty incredible here. he was a very vocal ted cruz

supporter. ted cruz now out of the race. what's rick perry saying? >> reporter: it also shows -- this shows the split within the republican party. rick perry just told me in a phone call were his home state in texas that he does support donald trump. and he's going to do everything he can to help donald trump get elected. he said that he believes in the process, and the process meaning the voters inside the republican electorate clearly said that donald trump should be the guy, and he is going to follow that process. and i will tell you that this conversation happened because i was calling him because perry's name had been out there a lot, as a potential third party candidate. and his answer to me was no, that's quixotic. i don't want to do that. i believe that donald trump should be our guy. and, of course, as you mentioned, i reminded him -- didn't need reminding, really, that way back when, when perry was running for president, he was one of the first -- i think he was the first to come out and

criticize donald trump, as not being presidential, as not being conservative enough, and his response to me was, he's not a perfect man, but what i do believe, this is about -- perry about trump, is that he loves this country, and he will surround himself with capable, experienced people, and he will listen to them. and he underlined that point. that he will listen to them. as i toss it back to you, i will tell you i asked him if he would be interested in being donald trump's running mate. and he said i'm going to be open to any way i can help. i'm not going to say no. >> thank you very much. "outfront," john king, host of "inside politics," katrina pearson and john avlon, daily beast. paul ryan, highest ranking republican in the united states, not ready to support donald trump. coming out and saying it to the world. trump, the presumptive nominee says, "okay. too bad." >> yeah, erin, i'm dating myself a bit and remember the old

"saturday night live" skit, candy mas macho? two leaders. donald trump thinks he's the new leader of the republican party and paul ryan planting a flag tonight, seismic, saying i'm still the highest elected republican in the land. and donald trump clearly upset that paul ryan got ahead of donald trump here and said -- paul ryan saying i won't endorse you until i see if you're willing to accept our agenda. remember how hard, erin. when you get caught up in the moment -- remember how hard not just paul ryan, but his team and on the senate side, how hard these republicans worked to get the majority early in the obama presidency, to build their majority in the house, and is then to get the majority in the senate. and many of them think it's all at risk with donald trump atop the ticket. this is not just about personalities. they look at the trump agenda. they look at how trump communicates. and there's great value in that. some conservatives love it if they're in safe districts. other people where republicans can lose races are very, very nervous and trying to see if trump will come to them on the

policy front. >> so mark preston, what is this? the painful birth of a new third party we're starting to see? or paul ryan holding out hopes for his own presidential ambitions? or what are we actually seeing happen here? >> what we're seeing a lot of different things. coming to play right now. let's just -- piece this apart. the motivations. did paul ryan do this because he himself is looking at 2020? perhaps. okay? but paul ryan has been around for a long time. he is a jack kemp disciple, the true conservative that had the compassion. he is the one who talked about helping the poor. he's the one who talked about cutting taxes. talked about going out to minority groups. this is basically the book that paul ryan reads every morning as he goes to work. so i think that deep down inside, look, paul ryan is looking out for himself down the road. but paul ryan is looking at himself through the eyes -- >> at the same time, that may be the case, but you also have donald trump again sort of ending around. it's not as if he's going

against all those things. this guy is saying he wants to raise the minimum wage. >> yeah, look -- >> so you don't have this obvious, okay, he's turning against all, quote, compassionate items. just not all conservative items. >> what you do have is paul ryan is the opposite of donald trump in so many ways. he's a man of policy, a man of ideology, philosophy. and a man who is fundamentally committed to governing, being part of the governing establishment. so in a place where donald trump is such in such a collection of policy collections, happen to be held by donald trump. until -- what ryan said is important is, can he unite the party as a process of uniting the nation around being elected? because personally and politically, donald trump and paul ryan are on opposite ends of the spectrum. >> incredible. and katrina, speaker ryan says, okay, i will back you, donald trump. if you do certain things. and kind of setting something up like that -- donald trump came out and said no way. i'm not going to do it. but here's exactly how paul ryan put it. >> i thought, actually, this

thing was going to go to june 7 at the very least, troebl to a convention. so this is all pretty new for us. but at this point, i think that he needs to do more to unify this party, to bring all wings of the republican party together, and then to go forward and to appeal to all americans and every walk of life, every background, a majority of independents and discerning democrats. and so, you know, i think conservatives want to know, does he share our values and our principles on limited government? the proper role of the executive. adherence to the constitution. there are lots of questions that conservatives, i think, are going to want answers to, myself included. >> so why wouldn't trump just -- wouldn't he go along with that agenda? why would he say i'm not going along with that agenda? >> because donald trump does not want to go along with an agenda where you spend $1 trill. you have the republican establishment that high-fived each other. the party has been limited government for a very long time.

the party talks about -- >> donald trump is going to spend more money than anybody else. >> the party talks about being constitutional but haven't been constitutional for a very long time. the agenda that this republican establishment is pushing is not what a lot of republican party voters don't want. i was there, erin, when we tried to fight to get the house back. i was there when we fought to get the senate back. and they made promise after promise after promise to do certain things and they did nothing. not only that, they did worse. they capitulated to everything and fought for nothing. that's the problem. >> this is something, though, that wins over people like ted cruz supporters? all of a sudden you've got the republican establishment in washington against -- >> yeah, look. the credible card the trump card can play is the outside versus insider. it's legitimate. but it makes no sense to argue that donald trump assistants for limited government. the policies he has enacted which are relatively few are not necessarily consistent with the constitution or limited government, let alone limited spending. we're talking about a police state and building walls.

>> we're making the case -- >> those are the policies your guy backs. >> the people are tired of career politicians. >> that's fine. but it's not limited government. >> somebody like john mccain and the republican establishment saying donald trump is not conservative enough. guess what? bush number one raised taxes. he gave us the clean air act of 1990. created nafta. that bill clinton signed. bush number two, eviscerated the constitution with the patriot act. grew government and education with no child left behind, further in health care with medicare part d. what does conservative mean? >> look, the point you're making about specifics of the second bush, interesting. here's what's really significant. this nominee right now has to unite its party two and the two living presidents who presided over this party and every living nominee are basically boycotting his nomination because they're concerned he's not a uniter and has to prove otherwise. >> john king, who ends up winning? i know it's early to say but when you look at this, handicap it, paul ryan, donald trump? >> paul ryan does not support a

third party, because paul ryan is raising money for republicans. paul ryan wants to -- whether donald trump wins or loses, he wants to be there. if donald trump loses to pick up the pieces and move on to keep the house majority, senate majority and maybe down the road can run for president. i think paul ryan was putting down a marker today and donald trump was offended that paul ryan didn't wait until they met before having this break, if you will. paul ryan also made clear, he also made very clear, erin, he would like to support trump and is hoping they can have a meeting, one set up for next week where trump can at least embrace most of the ryan agenda. the principles of the ryan agenda. and that then they can say we agree to disagree on some other things. >> perhaps they'll get there. a quick final word, why would he do it ahead of their meeting? >> i don't know. because i think that paul ryan wanted to be the one who is in charge of the discussion, right? he wants to be the one out front. "outfront." play off words. but, you know, erin, here's the thing. i think donald trump misseden opportunity today. the opportunity was to take what paul ryan said and spin it back

at him. say, you know what, i agree with speaker ryan. i don't agree with everything he says. policy wise. but i do agree we need to unite the party. i need his help in uniting the party. he didn't do that. i think that would have worked out better for donald trump than putting that statement out today. >> all right. thanks very much. you're all going to be with me, of course, and you can see jake's entire irview at 9:00 eastern. next, as we wait for donald trump to take that stage in west virginia, hear his crucial comments for the first time when he speaks about paul ryan, eric trump, trump's son is with me to react to breaking news. and i'm also going to ask about this picture from cinco de mayo. plus another top republican telling cnn he can not support donald trump. a live report coming up. and major breaking news on hillary clinton. a big development in the fbi investigation into her private e-mail server. a huge development tonight. and we have the very latest on it for you.

but i've managed.e crohn's disease is tough, except that managing my symptoms was all i was doing. and when i finally told my doctor, he said humira is for adults like me who have tried other medications but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe crohn's disease. and that in clinical studies, the majority of patients on humira saw significant symptom relief. and many achieved remission. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. ask your gastroenterologist about humira.

with humira, remission is possible. donald trump, taking the, going to respond to paul ryan's statement, highest elected republican in the country saying he cannot back donald trump and he's not the only one tonight. jeff flake saying he has a hard time voting for the presumptive nominee. >> it makes it very difficult to support him. i hope that he changes. i hope that he backs off some of the those. and there is some sign he will on the religious test for people to enter here. i think he's finessing that. i would like to see him go further. >> what about on the wall with mexico? >> well, i mean, that's -- that's in the class of kind of nutty things. >> senior political reporter, manu raju, you saw him there "outfront" tonight in phoenix.

jeff flake calling trump's idea, especially talking about the wall, his words, quote, unquote, nutty. something, by the way, a lot of republicans support. what else did flake tell you. >> reporter: i asked whether he would get behind the third party candidate, as some are, ben sas. flake would not go there. he said what donald trump needs to do is unify the party, tamp down his rhetoric, change policies to get support. if he does that, erin, he may anger supporters. >> manu, you've been talking to john mccain, defending his senate seat this year, running for a sixth term. how worried is he about donald trump? does he actually think donald trump could impact john mccain's re-election? >> reporter: he does. i asked him specifically about that. this is a state with a very heavy latino population, and mccain believes his record on immigration issues will be helpful for him come november. he said there may be nothing i could do, given the top of the

incompetent ticket, how he has angered so many latino people in his day. >> it can't help if the majority of those who will be voting at the -- for the top of the ticket have been alienated or feel that that candidate would not be in their interest. and that's the top of the ticket. i don't think you can ignore that reality. >> reporter: now at the same time, john mccain is supporting donald trump, unlike his colleague, jeff flake. it really shows sort of the balancing act that john mccain is trying to do. he needs trump supporters to come to the polls in his own re-election come november, but at the same time, needs the latino voters, as well. real challenge for john mccain going forward. he says to me, this is going to be one of the toughest races of my career. i'm going to work incredibly hard. he's facing ann crook patrick if he wins, as we expect he will in the fall. very difficult race, largely because of donald trump. >> manu, thank you very much. "outfront" now, donald trump's son, eric trump. good to see you. >> good to be here.

>> your father speaking in west virginia. you just heard yet another republican say it will be hard to support your dad. of course, the breaking news, house speaker, paul ryan said he's not ready to back your father. what is your father's reaction when he heard what paul ryan said? >> you know, when i heard it, i actually thought -- first of all, i thought it was a little silly and also a benign. my father has become, you know -- he's a republican nominee for exactly, what, 48 hours at this point, right? my father doesn't know these people. he's not a washington insider. he's a business guy who stepped into politics. he's going to have to walk the halls with these people and get to know a lot of these people. so i thought it was very benign. again, 48 hours. it's still sinking in. everyone is still getting used to it. so i think that's going to come organically, i think it's going to come naturally. my father has always been a great unifier. he's going to pull people together. i can't tell you how long i spent in his office today and the amount of calls from politicians, coming into his office saying, listen, we're behind you all of the way. >> people saying they support him. >> >> substantial.

it's going to come around. he's going to unify the party and i think at the end of the day, you see the masses. you see the amount of people that have been voting for him, right? i mean, two, three times what other primaries were. more people voted for him at this point than, you know, any past primary. the winners of any past primary. romney, et cetera, et cetera. so he's growing the republican party. people will unify around him. he'll unify around the republican party. it's an organic process. >> you make a strong case. but, of course, you describe paul ryan's comments as benign. but, you know, they were unprecedented. i mean, you know, we have described them as seismic. your father came out with a statement. i am not ready to support speaker ryan's agenda. in a sense, this is a standoff. your father, the presumptive republican nominee, and the current -- head of the republican party. >> you always have to remember, paul also said the one thing we will not under any circumstance allow is for hillary clinton to become president. so it's interesting. i just -- >> you worried that's his nod to give me a third party option? >> i really view this as --

listen, we've got to get to know the guy, take some time. he's fresh, very new. believe me, the one thing my father can do is unify the party. we're going to beat her. no one wants to talk about it, but it's so great we're out ahead of the democrats. you know, obviously hillary is struggling with bernie. she is struggling with this whole e-mail mess, the hacker that apparently got into the server. she's got real problems of her own. it's great as a republican party we have one candidate, and we can organize and we can get prepared and get a jump start on the democrats. >> all right. so you think he's going to get past this and he's scheduled to meet with speaker ryan. also, we've herd -- you talk about people calling his office saying they're getting on board. we're talking about a lot of people saying the opposite. right now there is a spike going on within the party. rick perry, governor from texas. he came out and said to cnn he is now supporting your father, he was a ted cruz supporter. that he's open to any way to do that, that he needs to, including vp. >> yeah. >> how long is the vp list right now? >> long. and, you know, i say this all of

the time. i said this to you before. my father is going to find a great worker. a great doer. it's not just going to be somebody who, you know, might be able to pull a state or somebody who might appeal to this little group of people. he's goings to find somebody who works tirelessly to fix the country. my father will be the first person in the office every single day in the white house. he will be the last person to leave. he will work every single weekend. he will not take vacations. that's who my father is in the business world. that's how he'll be in the white house. and believe me, his vp candidate will be incredibly qualified, know his way around -- his or her. will be incredibly, incredibly qualified and will be a worker. that's who my father has surrounded himself with his whole life. and every business and field he's ever been in and that's what we'll choose for the white house. >> one more question before we go in honor of cinco de mayo, your father tweeted today. >> one of the great tweets ever. >> your father -- you don't know whether to laugh or cry or what. here he is pictured with a caption, happy cinco de mayo, the best taco bowls are made in

trump tower grill. i love hispanics. >> which is actually true, by the way. the best taco bowls are made in trump tower. >> funny to some. some cringe. you heard john mccain taking it seriously saying, look, he's scared your father is going to hurt his re-election chances because he needs the hispanic vote in arizona. do you think senator mccain is wrong? >> i think he is wrong. my father is growing the party. millions and millions of votes ahead of anybody. he's growing the republican party. the amount of democrats and independents that are switching over to the republican party because they want to vote for him is unprecedented. you know, that's the difference between my father and a regular politician. he can be fun. he was eating a taco bowl. it happens to be cinco de mayo. he takes a picture and puts it on. i mean, versus all of the other politicians who have three lawyers and 12 pundits and four pollsters. that's my father being himself. my has got a tremendous personality, having a good time. i saw that come across. i was hysterically laughing and i retweeted it right away. he was having a lot of fun. and i think sometimes the

authenticity has won the day in this election. i think people are actually looking for an authentic candidate for the first time in history. >> eric, thank you very much. good to see you. i appreciate it. >> great being with you. >> and eric trump, of course, as we await donald trump in west virginia tonight. nor breaking news. the investigation into hillary clinton's e-mails. investigators telling cnn, breaking news right now on this. a major development after the break. and a republican congresswoman who has been mentioned as a possible trump vp. she is my guest tonight. her reaction to speaker paul ryan. cancer...

we don't want to think about it. but i had to. because, you see i was traveling, i was enjoying life, i was working... it was too long since my last pap. when i was finally tested, we thought i might have cervical cancer. after worrying - no cancer. i was lucky. women... please get a pap test to check for cervical cancer. and get the inside knowledge about gynecologic cancers. for you and the people who care about you.

breaking news on the hillary clinton e-mail investigation. and i'm going to get to that in a moment. you see donald trump at the podium, just getting there in west virginia. we're going to be monitoring this and see if he makes his first public comments speaking about paul ryan. we're going to be listening to it. the moment that starts, we'll bring new this. i do want to bring you other breaking news. this on hillary clinton. tonight, u.s. officials tell cnn that the fbi's probe is coming to an end. investigators have interviewed clinton's closest aides, including humana abedin.

evan perez has been workinging his sources on this story. and obviously, evan, this could be an incredible development for hillary clinton tonight. >> reporter: that's right, erin. and at this point, you know, there's still a lot of investigation to be done by the fbi. they are trying to wrap this up very soon. but at this point, what we know, and what sources we've been talking to, they have not yet found any indications or anything to prove that hillary clinton violated the law. willfully violated the law. obviously, there's no firm conclusions yet. but this is always obviously -- this has been an investigation that has been surrounded by politics. and the question has always been, whether this is something that hillary clinton needs to worry about. as we keep an eye on the calendar and the upcoming democratic convention. we know that with the fact that these aides have now been brought in for interviews, that the fbi is trying to wrap this up. and we expect that this is going to be done in the next couple of weeks. the next few weeks, erin. >> all right. so then done in the next few

weeks, obviously one big question mark out there. secretary clinton. is she herself going to be interviewed? will that be part of this? >> absolutely. she has to be interviewed. and we expect that the fbi and her lawyers will make arrangements for that interview in the next couple of weeks. now, the question is, the logistics of this. obviously, this is a presidential candidate, somebody who is actively campaigning. she is followed by a press corps, protected by the secret service. this is not your normal fbi interview. so the question is, how is this going to be done? is it going to be done at her home or here in washington or her offices in new york? we're told that that is -- those are details that are still be worked out. but absolutely, the fbi plans to interview her. and then after they -- finish their findings, turn it over to the justice department, which will make a final determition as to whether or not there is a crime that will be charged in this case, erin. >> thank you very much, evan perez, giving a time line here, so crucial, a few weeks, perhaps. mark preston, john avlon back

with me. kaly mcenemy and a firm currently for a pro super clinton pac. maria, let me start with you. how big is this news? it could be weeks away. and so far, no evidence of any intent to wrong do. >> well, that's actually not really -- nothing new to the campaign, as you know, erin. they have been saying for a while they're quite confident that the review process is not going to find anything untoward. and frankly, back in august, the clinton campaign conveyed directly to the justice department that secretary clinton would be available at any time and anywhere to answer any questions that the review process wanted her to answer. that still stands. they have not asked her to do that interview yet. so i think in the minds of the campaign and in the secretary herself, the fact they are now talking about doing that interview which, in this kind of process is one of the interviews

they do towards the end, means that this process is coming to an end. which i think is good news. i don't think that they're going to find anything. >> all right. maria, thank you. and i'm here with my panel, but i do want to listen in now to donald trump speaking at that rally in west virginia. let's listen now. >> right? >> there's always been something about west virginia. i'll tell you a little secret. i've always been fascinated by the minds. i always have. i don't know why. you know, i love construction. i love the whole thing. i can tell you more about caterpillar tractors than the people that work there. i just -- i just know -- i love that business. i love construction. and i love -- and i'll tell you, i've just always been fascinated by the mines. and the courage of the miners and the way the miners love what they do.

they love what they do, you know? i was talking to some of the people and i said why don't they move, why don't they go someplace else? of course, in this country, you can't really go anywhere else, because you can't get a job. because jobs are going to everyone else but us. we're sending our jobs to mexico. china is taking our jobs. japan. they're all taking our jobs, folks. that's all going to change very rapidly, i promise. but the miners don't want to leave anyway. is that right? you want to stay here. you want to open the mines. we're going to open the mines. i see over here, trump digs coal. look at that. trump digs coal. that's true. that's true. i do. so i've always been fascinated by it. i've been fascinated by the whole sequence of doing it. it's incredible. the engineering, now, that's involved and the safety and all that's taking place over the

last number of years. especially over the last ten years. and all of it is getting safe, and as it gets safe, they're taking it away from you in a different way. and i just think you're amazing people. and you watch what happens. if it i win, we're going to bring those miners back. you're going to be so proud of your president. you're going to be so proud of your country. you watch. and the other night, you know, we had a big night. we won indiana. and -- that was a great night. a and i had so much help. bobby knight. boy, did he help me. wow, bobby knight. and we had lou holtz and the great coach from purdue. we had a lot of people. digger phelps. but i'll tell you. bobby went -- and he called me like a year ago. and bobby is -- when 900 games, won three championships, won the olympics, won the pan am games.

and about a year ago, before i was going to run -- i've been doing this nine and a half, ten months. i get a call from bobby knight, who i never met, but i know bobby knight. he's tough, he's smart and he knows how to win. that's a good combination, right? by the way, that's what the country needs. and he calls me up. and i recognize his voice immediately. he goes, "mr. trump, this is bobby knight. i hope you run." i said, "bobby, run for what?" because i'm telling you, i was three or four months away. he said, "i hope you run, mr. trump. you run for president, you are going to make this country great again. i've been following." and you what, he is -- he's an expert on talent! he's talent. and he said, "i just hope you run." i said "well, you know, bobby, i haven't made up my mind yet. but i would love your number. and let me call you back if i decide to run." and he said "well, you have my

support. call me back." so, you know, a lot of time goes by. and then the race is -- i'm winning and winning and doing really great. but it's oh -- you've been hearing me say it's a rigged system. >> donald trump speaking in west virginia. you know, what's very interesting about this, we're waiting comments on paul ryan, hasn't yet addressed it. what he has talked about, caylee, is the people around him. this is a different crowd than we have seen. this is a coal mining -- state. it's a state that has gone for hillary clinton. has gone for bill clinton. and now is very solidly going for donald trump. >> absolutely. and this sends a very important message. because we saw hillary clinton just a few days ago come out and back pedal on her statements with regard to coal. and the next few days, you see donald trump in west virginia, trying to appeal to the same crowd and say, hey, i haven't forgotten you, but barack obama, let's not forget, said he would make coal prohibitively expensive and shut down factories. hillary clinton mimicked that statement. so donald trump is there to pick up voters they have lost. >> he's getting these voters and this is going to be a big win.

but it doesn't make up for voters he has turned away at this point. >> women voters, specifically. here's the thing, though. just watching that, just for that snapshot in time. he talks about i'm going to bring back the jobs, open the mines. the mines. the mines. you want me to open the mines. basically, what he's saying is, i'm going to get you jobs, okay? because you have no hope. you have had no hope for many, many years. however, there's no specific policy to get those mines open or for that matter, to create new jobs, because we do know that coal is a dying industry. that's a problem. >> no, and the anti trade message really does sell. and look, he's taking care of a clear contrast where democrats have a hard time appealing to white working class voters in coal country. that's going to be a fundamental problem. and let's face it, bill clinton won west virginia. but republicans are going to win west virginia. arkansas, obviously, originally clinton country probably going to go republican. the thing is, you can't just sort of be -- with a magic wand say you're going to make it better. you've got to have policies. >> artificially inflate

renewable sources of energy that don't work, that aren't popular. the subsidies haven't worked and in doing that, shut down factories. we have seen that time and time again with barack obama. the first thing he's going to do is stop artificially propping up energy people don't want and allowing coal miners to keep their jobs. >> we have seen manufacturing increase in -- that's not the case. but in terms of the battleground constituencies, west virginia coal country is going to look a lot more like trump country than clinton country. >> final word. >> hope and change. that's what donald trump is saying right now. what barack obama said in 2008. i want to bring hope and i'm going to change things. and that's what he's saying. >> and in that crowd, they are very much buying that message. thanks to all. next, a leading republican who is saying she will support the nominee. the nominee is donald trump. she's going to respond to paul ryan. also happens to be among those apparently on the list for trump's vp. my guest, congresswoman, martian blackburn. and jeanne moos, the search for

a vp pick. could it really come to this? >> i'm anticipating to be vice president. ♪ ♪music continues [daughter] papa! [father] i missed you! [daughter]did you bring new ones?

top breaking news story tonight, paul ryan telling cnn he is not ready to support donald trump as his party's nominee. i think there's work that needs to be done in order to unify the party. i think our presumptive nominee needs to do that. i want to be a part of helping him do that. but right now, no. i think that, you know, there's some work to do here. >> representative marsha blackburn has said she will support the republican nominee. she's "outfront" from nashville, tennessee. representative, good to talk to you again. let's get your reaction here to ryan. were you surprised to hear him say this? what's your reaction to your speaker? >> i think it's probably a very honest reaction. and he went on to say that he looks forward to working to getting to that point, and erin, i think they will sit down, they will focus on some issues, and probably drill down on the things that the american people are saying we want these as priorities. national security, jobs and economic security. retirement security.

they will drill down on that, and i think you will see speaker ryan and most of the, if not all of the 246 house republicans supporting donald trump. and working to make certain that we defeat hillary clinton in november. >> so you don't think that this in any way encourages some of your colleagues who have come out and said they will not support donald trump to hope for a third party? is paul ryan not opening the door? let's just be fair. what he has done today is an unprecedented thing in american politics, for the highest-ranking republican to come out and say i'm not ready to support the presumptive gop nominee. >> i think you're going to see everybody come around and the party unite. bear in mind, we have had millions of new voters. donald trump, ted cruz have brought out millions of new voters into the republican party. our challenge is to make certain that we welcome them. that we listen to them. and that we learn from what they perceive to have been shortcomings or misgivings of

republican elected officials in washington, d.c., and i'm doing a lot of listening to people that are saying, this is what we're dissatisfied with. we want to see some action. we don't want to see you tweak around the edges. we want to see government reengineered. we want you to get the debt under control. >> all right. so you're saying some positive things here about donald trump. and you have said, congresswoman black >> yes, i will. yes. >> now there is a presumptive republican nominee. do you support, do you endorse donald trump? >> i support donald trump. he will be our nominee. i am going to work tirelessly to make certain that hillary clinton is not elected in november. we have to make certain we return to focusing on individual freedoms, free people, free markets and that we get this country back on the right track. i talk to people every day that

say i like the fact that donald trump says he is going to get obamacare off the books. i like that he is going to work to solve the illegal immigration problem. those are things people want to see done, erin, and they want to see some deliverables from elected officials. what has frustrated them is they have not seen those. >> so if he asks you to serve as vice president, your name was floated out there, would you accept? >> you know, i got to tell you, somebody who is from a red state is not going to be the nominee. i am flattered and honored that people consider my name and you hear it floated about but i've got to tell you it will not be me, but i'll be there on the frontlines fighting every step of the way to make certain that we have donald trump as our next president of the united states and that hillary clinton does not end up as president of the

united states. think of all the judges that are going to be appointed, think of people that wan to see our tax system overhauled, that want regulation cut back and the epa under control. i am fighting for every one of those people every day and we have an election to win in november. >> congresswoman, thank you very much. appreciate your time. >> thank you. >> representative marsha blackburn, she says she will not be trump's vp. who will be? jeanne moos is next. that's the more human side of engineering. experience what a lincoln can do for you at the lincoln spring collection event. your choice of the lincoln mkc or mkz for $289 a month, or get 0% apr for 60 months. if you've gone to extremes to escapetry clarispray.ergies.

they keep telling me "drink more water." "exercise more." i know that. "try laxatives..." i know. believe me. it's like i've. tried. everything! my chronic constipation keeps coming back. i know that. tell me something i don't know. (vo) linzess works differently from laxatives. linzess treats adults with ibs with constipation, or chronic constipation. it can help relieve your belly pain, and lets you have more frequent and complete bowel movements that are easier to pass. do not give linzess to children under 6 and it should not be given to children 6 to 17. it may harm them. don't take linzess if you have a bowel blockage. get immediate help if you develop unusual or severe stomach pain, especially with bloody or black stools. the most common side effect is diarrhea, sometimes severe. if it's severe stop taking linzess and call your doctor right away. other side effects include gas, stomach-area pain and swelling.

talk to your doctor about managing your symptoms proactively with linzess.
