welcome to the second hour.

in a campaign that shows what donald trump is up against in his own party, one by one, against all odds, against pundits and the he is the presumptive nominee. much like the reality show trump used to host, when one challenge end, another begins. his challenge is to unite the party, looks like an uphill battle. house speaker paul ryan who is chairman of the republican national convention rocked the political landscape when he said he cannot support trump, at least not now. trump spoke in west virginia, didn't mention ryan. he spent 15 minutes going after hillary clinton. we're going to air jake tapper's interview with speaker ryan so you can hear it for yourself. begins with a big question. >> you said you would support the republican presumptive

nominee. you have a presumptive nominee, donald trump. women you support him? >> well, to be candid, i am not ready to do that at this point. i am not there right now. i hope to though and i want to. i think what is required that we unify this party. i think the bulk of the burden on unifying the party will have to come from the presumptive nominee. i don't want to underplay what he accomplished. he needs to be congratulated for enormous accomplishment, for not only winning plurality but majority of delegates. something special to a lot of us. # this is the party of lincoln, of reagan, of jack kemp. we don't nominate a lincoln and reagan every four years, but hope our nominee to be reaganesque. that person advances the principles of our party and appeals to a wide vast majority of americans. i think what's necessary to make

it work, for this to unify is to take our principles and advance them. that's what we want to see. saying we're unified doesn't in and of itself unify us. taking principles we believe in, showing dedication, and running a campaign that republicans can be proud about and that can appeal to a majority of americans. that's what it takes. to unify the party. # >> you are saying you can't support or endorse him right now? >> yeah, i am basically saying that. look, i thought about this two days ago. i thought this was going to go to june 7 at the very least, probably 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, bring all wings of the republican party together, then to go forward and appeal to all americans in every walk of life, every background, a majority of independents and discerning democrats.

conservatives want to know, does he share our values and principles on limited government, properly role of the executive, adherence to the constitution, there are lots of questions that conservatives want answers to, myself included, and i want to be part of the unifying process. i want to help unify the party. we have to unify i think to be successful, to have a campaign republicans are proud of going forward that is unifiable, that can appeal to a vast majority of americans. >> mr. speaker, you cast it in optimistic, positive terms, i would expect no less from you. but what you're saying is a dramatic announcement that 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? >> like i said, i hope to support the nominee and his

candidacy. i want to do that. right now, i have 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. i was outspoken when i thought he did or said the wrong thing, and i will do that in the future i hope it is not necessary. but i think what a lot of republicans want to see we have a standard bearer that bears our standards and is all wings of the republican party, we all come from different wings but all believe in conservative principles. we want someone that takes these conservative principles, apply them to the problems and get solutions that americans can vote for and want to be enthusiastic about it. that is what i think it takes to unify the party. # there's work to unify the party. the presumptive nominee needs to do that.

i want to be part of helping him do that, but right now, no. i think there's some work to do here. let me say it this way. republicans have been watching each other go after each other six months. democrats doing the same. had a bitter primary process. i think we sometimes forget how successful we have been. we have the biggest house majority since 1928. 54 republican senate seats, state legislative and governorships we haven't seen in decades. we've done well. our party is enjoying success because we unified over common conservative principles. we have one more hill to climb, one more mountain top. # that's the presidency. we think the stakes are extremely high. highest they have been, supreme court, congress, future of america on the line. no republican should think about supporting hillary clinton. let me make that clear. for us to be a successful party, to climb that final hill and win the presidency, we need a

standard bearer that can unify all republicans, conservatives, all wings of the party, go to the country with an appealing agenda that can be appealing to independents and diseffected democrats. we have work to do on this front. the nominee has to lead in that effort. >> as you know, mitt romney, john mccain, george w. bush, george h.w. bush, all republican presidential nominees haven't -- have said they are not going to the convention. watch this clip of your running mate mitt romney talking donald trump earlier this year. >> think of donald trump's personal qualities. the bullying, the greed, the showing off. the misogyny, the absurd third grade theatrics. donald trump is a phony, a fraud. his promises are as worthless as a degree from trump university. he is playing the members of the

american public for successors. he gets a ride to the white house and we get a lousy hat. >> do you share that view that trump is a phony and fraud? >> i think you'll see tapes like that run all fall. the question is can our presumptive nominee turn things around, unify and have a different way to go forward. the way i look at it time to go from tapping into anger to channelling anger to solutions. # time to set aside bullying and belittlement, appeal to higher aspirations. appeal to what is good in us. lead a party enthusiastic about choosing a path. that's why i feel strongly about the chance and choice and opportunity in front of us. but for this to work, our presumptive nominee needs to unify the party for the party to be unified.

>> you think that is possible? >> i think it is possible. we just need to be honest about these things. i think we can beat hillary clinton, are you kidding me, yes, it is possible and needs to be possible, so much is at stake. >> you don't think the damage is done? you don't think so much damage has been done, it's almost as if it is a lost cause. it seems to me, hearing people like mitt romney and ted cruz the other day call donald trump a pathological liar on the eve of donald trump winning it all. donald trump was attacking his father, suggesting that rafael cruz may have played a role in the kennedy assassination. doesn't seem like there are going to be -- it is going to be possible to build that many bridges. you disagree? >> i am familiar with points you're making. that's why among other reasons

as a conservative, i want to see verification that our conservative principles will be championed, run on, represented, and will be brought to the public and country in a way that's appealing for us to be successful. we are not there yet. look, this man will get the nomination because he earned it, he deserved it, he won the vote. more importantly, those of us need to learn a few lessons. there's a bit of humility, he -- leaders in congress. he tapped into something in this country very powerful. people are sending a message to washington that we need to learn from and listen to. but at the same time, now that we have a presumptive nominee that was going to be the standard bearer, it is important that the standards will be beared, that he will advance our appreciation for limited government, for the constitution, for proper role of the executive, for principles that not only built the party

but our country, how we apply those principles that offer solutions. run a campaign we can be proud of. run a campaign americans can be proud of. this san episode that questions that. that is why at this point, at this point, i am not ready to jump in, but i hope we can get there. that's my goal. >> incredible interview. more of jake tapper's comments with speaker ryan. more on whether there's anything he can do to win his support. he answers this crucial question. >> what are the odds he's going to become the candidate you want him to be?

beat yesterday with vivosmart hr from garmin. welcome back. more of jake tapper's interview with paul ryan who says he is not ready to support donald trump. in a statement he responded, throwing it back saying i'm not going to support your agenda either. trump didn't mention ryan in a speech in west virginia a short time ago. he did attack hillary clinton. here's more of that ryan interview. >> you will be gaveling as speaker of the house at the convention. if he hasn't become this reaganesque, jam kempesque nominee you want him to be to support him, what are you going to do, can you manage the convention if you haven't decided if you support him? >> i am a guy giving you my peace of mind. i am a lifelong conservative who feels passionate about these principles and how they're necessary to save our country

and get on the right track. we are on the wrong track. and we stay here much longer, it with hillary clinton or bernie sanders, it will be ugly for this country. # i want to see us unify on principles, ideas, policy, agenda, win the hearts and minds of the vast majority of americans and i hope that's where this goes, but i don't know where it is going to go, as chair of the convention, galvthe convention in, and hope by then this will be a unified party. i think a lot of burden is on the presumptive nominee to do that. so we'll see. that's all i've got for you. >> doesn't he have to completely revoke in order to become the man that can unite behind principles and policies you support, doesn't he completely have to say he doesn't support the deportation of 12 million undocumented immigrants because you disagree with that, that he doesn't support -- >> i'm not saying that at all.

>> doesn't support banning all muslims from the united states? because you don't support that? >> look, who am i? >> you're speaker of the house. >> he won fair and square on his policies. yes, he comes from a different wing of the party than what i do, but i've got to tell you one thing, if we don't unify all wings of the party, we're not going to win the election. what can you do to get all wings of the party to go forward. yes, we have policy disagreements, on muslim, i spoke out on that. if i feel i need to speak out, i will do that. hope it doesn't come to that. my point us you have to unify all wings of the republican party in a conservative movement and take it to the country, vast majority of americans, nonrepublicans also have something they're proud to support and proud to be part of. we have a ways to go from here to there. that's the point i am trying to make. of course you have policy disagreements. you always have policy

disagreements. mitt romney and i had policy disagreements. that's just natural. and too much to ask someone to change policy views that they were elected on in some policy dispute. are we putting policies based on principles that all conservatives and republicans share? limited government, the constitution. the right role for the executive. those are the things we all believe in and want to make sure the standard bearer champions those if you want to see a unified party. that's the point i'm trying to make. i think for this to be successful, he has work to do. i am happy to help him do that. >> i didn't think you rebuked him on the muslim proposed ban, but went against religious liberty, in terms of free trade, in terms of deporting 12 million undocumented workers.

those are principle disagreements you have with them. >> we have work to do. >> david brock wrote this in "the new york times." this is a joe mccarthy moment, people will be judged by where they stood at this time. those that walked with trump will be tainted forever after for the degradation of standards and slaughter, unquote. do you see it that way? >> i am not looking at it like that. i don't think it is right to think about 2017 and beyond. i am focused on 2016. i want 2016 in congress to be successful where we tackle the country's big challenges and get the country back on track. i am focused on here and now, not tomorrow. frankly as a conservative, as lifelong conservative who shared these values all my life, i want to see our party unify and see the standard bearer celebrate the principles of our party, apply them to problems, appeal to all americans, and run a

principles solutions based campaign we can be proud of. i do believe there's work needs to be done for that to happen. that's the point i'm trying to make. i am not worried about what's after this election. this election now is the one to focus on. >> just to be clear, sir, i hate to be that guy, you hate it when we ask this question, you still ruling out? >> you asked it three times. >> this one, just to be clear. you're ruling out in any way you accepting any nomination of your party. >> oh, yeah. >> want to make sure of that. and lastly, sir, i guess the question is what are the odds that he is going to be able to become the candidate you want him to be? you said you have a lot of work to be done, but frankly i have been covering him, i covered you. is this chasm bridgeable? >> i think it is possible, but this isn't, look, don't say this is about me. this is we the republican party, we the conservatives who want a standard bearer that will

represent the full spectrum of conservatism and unify all factions of the party, not just that republicans can be part of, that americans can be part of, that can compete for the vast majority of americans to win the election. we have been successful as republicans. one more big job ahead of us. no less than supreme court congress and future of america at stake. for this to be successful, the party needs to be unified. then we have to win converts and do it in a way that appeals, that's enthusiastic. i believe that can be done, but right now that's not where we are, that's where we need to get to. >> how worried are you about trump dragging down republicans running for re-election in the senate and house? >> i just don't know -- one thing i think you can predict this year, it will be unpredictable. i don't think you can draw parallels, make projections at this point. i think you always run like everything is on the line. my focus this fall is, has been and will be the house majority, that's primarily my

responsibility, what i am focused on. i also really love this country, i want to see us win this election to fix these country's problems. >> lastly, mr. trump said in march if you, talking about you don't get along with him, you'll quote have to pay a big price. are you worried? >> no, i am not worried about that. >> house speaker paul ryan. thank you for your time. always a pleasure to see you. >> you bet you. take care. >> headline making interview. just ahead, more reaction to the house speaker and reaction from other republicans.

talking about the latest earthquake to rock the gop, paul ryan, speaker of the house, the man that will preside over the republican national convention told jake tapper that he is not ready to support presumptive nominee donald trump. mr. trump fired back saying 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 who have been treated so badly for so long that it is about time the politicians put them first.

what are your sources saying about this announcement by ryan? >> first of all, they thought it was stunning. there isn't one republican i've spoken with that didn't believe this was heart felt, coming from paul ryan. didn't think it was a political move for his own future high office. they said he gave moderate republicans political cover if they need it, they can say, you know, i'm going to support the republican nominee but i believe in paul ryan's agenda. they're really worried at the same time, anderson, how to you put humptydumpty back together. i had one republican say, i don't see how paul ryan and donald trump get on the same page when it comes to a unified vision about what the republican party should be about. >> one thing is interesting, we watched that interview again,

notice for 16 minutes, the full length of the interview ryan never says donald trump, says standard bearer. never his name. what does that tell you? >> a little bit of denial maybe, also not wanting to make it really personal. i think paul ryan wanted this to be more about his vision rather than the person of donald trump but i tell you something else, anderson. here is what i noticed, hearing republicans these days talk about their support, they say, lots of them, i will support the republican presidential nominee, and they stop short of saying i endorse donald trump because in some weird way, some republicans think there's a difference, even though donald trump is, of course, the republican nominee. they just haven't gotten their arms around it yet. >> is there still, are you hearing talk about a third party candidate? >> i still am.

i spoke with folks that were part of that movement, they believe ryan may help them to a certain degree. here's a big problem. they don't have a person that's going to run. they thought it might be rick perry, until dana bash reported that rick perry not only will endorse donald trump but he wouldn't mind being picked as vice president. he told dana he wouldn't say no to that. they're scratching their heads looking for someone willing to run and haven't found anyone. >> gloria borger, thank you. a lot to discuss with the panel. mike preston joins us, executive editor of cnn politics. i don't understand, though, how donald trump can change to paul ryan's liking. he's talking about supporting the ideas of limited government. many of donald trump's ideas are not traditional republican ideas. >> they're not. here's something i think donald trump missed today. he had an opportunity today to

look presidential, which is something that a lot of people have been wondering if he would do it. paul ryan comes out and directly delivers, you know, his idea of what donald trump should be. donald trump could have turned that around and said i agree with paul ryan, we need to unify the party, need to bring it back together. i might not agree with everything paul ryan agrees with, but there's enough to bring the party together. i need paul ryan's help. had he done that, would have served that ball to paul ryan's court and he would have to help donald trump bring the party together. now it looks like we're at war. >> kayleigh, do you see, paul ryan seems to want donald trump to say publicly or not donald trump's positions. >> that's exactly right. it would have been against his brand to do what mark is suggesting, if he were to come out in a situation where you have something unprecedented, speaker of the house coming against the nominee, cow tow to that, wouldn't make sense.

mccain had many points, he opposed bush tax cuts, he was still on board. mitt romney had the blueprint in massachusetts, it is nonsensical. people say it is about defending conservative values. that's a cover and front for the never trump movement. if that's what it were about, they would have been against mccain and romney. >> a lot of us were not happy with mccain or with mitt romney, but they were at least republican enough for us. there are a couple of issues we didn't agree with, but they were conservative republicans on most other issues. we weren't dealing with people that offended immigrants and women and disabled veterans and the list of things donald trump has done from the character

side, integrity side of things. mitt romney and john mccain didn't flip flop on every issue. there's a difference there. >> are there things donald trump could do to win you over as he needs to win over paul ryan? what sort of statements can he make or what can he do? >> i think donald trump is dishonest, i don't think he believes in anything. interesting in kayleigh's defense of him, said it would hurt his brand, not what he believes. politically, paul ryan gave him an opening to earn the vote of conservatives. that's what he needs to do. >> i believe in limited government, doesn't he have to change some of his positions? >> that's why i don't think it

is necessarily possible. it would have to change who he is. he is a political chameleon. it would be pandering back to conservatives if you decide no, i am not going to think about minimum wage, no i am not going to get rid of nato. all these things. that's the problem here. because he has been -- >> talking to people, active republicans, big donors, involved in a number of different cycles, many of them, men in particular more than women look for a reason to come over. they were opposed to trump, now they're trying to convince themselves, maybe he's going to be okay, maybe he has the secret formula. the risk for trump, his game from here to general election, he is going to see as replay of what has been successful through the primaries, which is control

the debate, create controversy, dominate media, and be able to force in this case now hillary clinton to respond to his questions. >> why would he change? >> first thing, he has to understand 50 plus one. he needs to get the republicans back in line. he has to get them to the polls, make sure he consolidates the base and go after the independents, because hillary clinton has 21% favorable with independents. he has to do it in a serial way. he has a linear path i think to victory if he can get it together. so far he is showing me he's stuck in that pattern, committed emotionally to what he has done previously. >> do you see a path to win over paul ryan? >> yes.

to the extent it is possible, if you have donald trump trying to make common cause. one of the things we know paul ryan is concerned about is 30 seat margin in the house. i heard some exaggerated fears with republican consultants saying we could lose the majority or close to losing it. i don't know if it goes that far. it is paul ryan's job to make sure nothing remotely like that happens. if they get an agreement, find issues to campaign on that aren't going to hurt marginal members, then paul ryan can come on board and see something that resembles campaigns of the past. >> one other concern, the republican platform. you have to understand we go to convention, we have a platform, the republican party agrees on that the presumptive nominee is supposed to agree to. there's a myriad of things he said and done and espoused antithetical to that. that's something else paul ryan and others are concerned going forward.

i think donald trump thinks you can only win by slaughtering the other person and that is not going to unify his party, which again is good for my perspective. >> stay with us.

kwlr of

big reversal by donald trump's campaign, he will no longer self fund a majority of the campaign, something he talked about for months. mr. trump is building a fund-raising operation, named a hedge fund executive to run it. more key decisions expected in the coming months, including running mate. suzanne malveaux has a look at potential contenders. >> reporter: the early read on donald trump's search for vp is some combination of who he wants and who would even want to do it. >> i am going to go the political route. >> reporter: some names he might be interested in are surfacing, rob portman from ohio, seen as someone that could help trump bridge the gap with the gop establishment. a spokesman says portman is not interested and focused on senate re-election bid. >> women want security. women want strong military. they want to know they're secure

in our nation. >> reporter: among trump's other favorites, susana martinez, she could help improve his standing with voting blocks that polls show unfavorable, women and hispanics. like portman, she said she's inclined to pass on that spot, a martinez spokesman saying she appreciates the spotlight on her state but isn't interested. another female governor that may be considered, mary fallen said she would be honored if called to serve by trump. >> my focus is the american people. has to be first. has to be. >> reporter: if trump is looking for national security credentials, jeff sessions from alabama who already advises on foreign policy could fit the bill. what about a former trump opponent? >> when somebody says nasty, i never like them quite the same,

but i will tell you you look at somebody. >> reporter: like conservative texas senator ted cruz. >> lying ted. lying ted. >> reporter: chris christie. >> america first, donald trump is that man. >> reporter: or self described grownup in the room, ohio governor john kasich. >> i have never seen a human >> i have never seen a human eat in such a disgusting fashion. >> kasich says he doesn't want the vp job, but trump seems open to considering his rival. >> i like john, had a good relationship with john, gotten along with him well. whether he is vice president or not, i think he will be very helpful with ohio. >> reporter: retired neurosurgeon ben carson is on the selection committee, only wants to help from the outside of trump's campaign. >> dr. ben carson, special, special person, special man.

>> reporter: even the current man a heartbeat from the presidency is enjoying speculation. >> reporter: his daughter will have a role in the vp selection process that will conclude in july with the pick announced before the gop convention in cleveland. suzanne malveaux, cnn, washington. >> back with the panel. we heard donald trump say somebody with experience on the hill, with the senate, with the house, who do you think? >> i would like to see someone that stood on the stage with during the debates, ran the race, didn't make it, part of contentious back and forth, nonetheless comes around. i love marco rubio. would love him in that spot, if not him many others, or could go with a newt gingrich, who knows the hill well, very adept in legislative matters. he would be fantastic, rick scott, bold conservative. there are many good contenders. >> sarah? >> i would be heartbroken if marco rubio sold out and decided

to go over to become vp with trump. but i think for donald trump he is probably going to go for someone that does have experience to calm people down, since he has none, perhaps a general, perhaps someone with military and foreign policy experience, he scared a lot of us in incoherent foreign policy things. i think it will be interesting. who knows. what donald trump decides to do is something only donald trump knows. if any indication who he is staffing himself with now, i am not encouraged with who the vice president will be. he named his national chairman, finance chairman who was goldman, sachs, george soros, hillary clinton, chuck schumer donator. final chairman. he went after ted cruz for the goldman, sachs, he swung the other side when convenient for him. >> lot of times a vice president

in the campaign, the role is the attack dog. donald trump certainly doesn't need that. he has that box checked. >> he needs experience, somebody that understands the hill, government, who has been around. couldn't do better than senator rob portman from ohio. two cabinet level spots, widely respected, served in the house and senate. the issue, he is up for re-election, his heart is with ohio. he is smart, serious legislate or, understands the mechanics. he would be a wonderful complement to trump. whether he would do it, i don't know. he is also from the key state of ohio which john kasich also brings to the equation. >> couple things. somebody who he should pick who will not accept it is john kasich from ohio. there's no way the governor of ohio will do this. 18 electoral votes on the table. john kasich knows how to legislate, one of the smartest guys to work washington, and ceo, but to the congressman's

point, would be a fantastic pick, for everybody that knows john kasich, you know him better than anybody, john kasich is a tough person to get along with. second person who is a possibility is rick perry, former governor of texas. doesn't give him texas. trump wins texas anyway. gets him bona fide with conservatives and conceptually. >> rick perry came out early against donald trump in a very prepared speech, going after him on religious grounds. >> no such thing as shermanesque statement in politics. i will be your enemy today, best friends tomorrow. seen that from rick perry. conceptually, saying it for six to eight months, a general, a retired general that understands the line of command, that is royal, that knows how to legislate. generals in the military have worked washington. they know how to legislate and give you firm policy experience. >> errol? who do you see?

or on the democratic side. >> good luck with that. there's another senator who is in a tough re-election battle, pat toomey in pennsylvania. the possibility of putting pennsylvania in play should be of interest to donald trump. i mean, he is going to have a hard time getting the map to work for him. this is someone who used to run the club for growth, the conservative movement is comfortable with him. and somebody who has reached across the aisle. he was involved in efforts to get bipartisan legislation. >> on the democratic side, i asked hillary clinton this yesterday, she gave the answer, i should have prefaced my question with that answer. i knew she would use that answer. has to be somebody that's able to take the job as president. >> first what you say on the trump side, it is noteworthy how many people said flat out no,

not even hedged bets, kind of saying no, i don't want to be the vice president, no, i don't want to be considered for the administration, that's a bold statement to have so many -- >> they say that while running, afterward is different. >> usually not at this level. they hedge it in a more political way. these foenlg -- folks are saying no. >> who would you like to see hillary clinton support? >> i would like to see somebody with experience that could be the president if god forbid that was necessary, obviously like to see somebody that brings even more diversity to the ticket, somebody that represents, great to have somebody that is latino or latina. that community is an up and coming critical part of the democratic party. that would be terrific. would be great to have somebody, want somebody from a key state that could be helpful. strategically, that would be good, too. i hope she brings somebody that brings from a community, a younger person, particularly from another diverse community because this is going to be a historic ticket and the degree to which we can add to this moment in history in

representation and remind people that diversity makes government stronger is a good thing. >> i want to thank all the panelists. a new video showing the battle that killed a navy s.e.a.l. in iraq, and terrifying images from alberta, canada where a huge wildfire forced 80,000 people from their homes.

thanks for watching. cnn tonight with don lemon starts right now. this is the gop's worst nightmare. i'm don lemon. house speaker paul ryan, in a stunning moment, declines to support donald trump. >> i'm just not ready to do that at this point. i'm not there right now. but i want to. and i think what is required is that we unify this party. >> trump fired back in true trump fashion with a statement saying i'm not ready to support speaker ryan's agenda. >> everybody's out, i'm the only one left. that's okay, right? right?
