british pound potentially crass 20% of its value if there is a vote to leave. that would send shock waves. jpmorgan employs 12 how people here in britain. they say if there was a vote to leave, they would have to shed 4,000 potentially staff here. that's the sort of difference it could make, wrbrianna. >> thank you so much. i'm brianna keilar, thank you so much for watching. erin burnett "outfront" starts right now. "outfront" next, donald trump heading to scold scotland for golf. is he making a huge mistake? his former campaign manager, cory lewandowski, joins me live. and a supreme court dealing a major blow to president obama's immigration plan as trump's signature issue has gotten a major boost and the historic vote in great britain. will america's strongest ally break free? let's go "outfront."
4:01 pm
good evening. i'm erin burnett. "outfront" tonight, donald trump leaving new york any minute now for his golf course in scotland. not to burnish his foreign policy credentials, to sit down with prime minister david cameron to discuss britain's possible historic break with europe but to tend to the business of a golf course opening in scotland. and even there, the presumptive nominee does not appear to be getting a warm welcome when he arrives. several residents have raised mexican flags in psychologist land, a way to protest about mexican immigrants. trump sat down with nbc news and took a big swing at hillary clinton. here he is. >> you also made the claim that her e-mail -- personal e-mail server had been hacked, probably by foreign government. suggesting that -- >> you don't know that it hasn't. >> wait a minute. suggesting that she would be compromised. as president. what evidence do you have? >> first of all, she shouldn't
4:02 pm
have had a personal server, okay? she shouldn't have had it. what she did is illegal. she might not be judged that way, because we have a rigged system. what she did is illegal. >> is there any evidence that it was hacked, other than routine -- >> i think i read that and heard it -- >> where? >> somebody also gave me that information. i will report back to you. i will give it to you. >> just a moment, i'm going to talk about this and much more with trump's former campaign manager, corey lewandowski. i want to begin with jim acosta. jim, this is obviously a very significant trip. it's significant timing. you are there on the ground. what is his plan in scotland? >> reporter: well, erin, this might not be an easy putt for donald trump. these overseas trips for political candidates have a way of getting a politician in the rough, you might say, to use some golf jargon. but donald trump is essentially here for a business trip. he is out here to check on this golf property behind me, trump
4:03 pm
turnberry, a very nice resort, spent hundreds of millions of dollars refurbishing t the ribbon cutting takes place tomorrow. he'll helicopter in on his trump helicopter, his family will be here to greet him and we understand he's going to have a press conference and take questions. this is highly unusual, erin in that he's not going to do what we normally see politicians do during this stage of a general election campaign. you see candidates meeting with foreign leaders, four years ago, mitt romney met with the british prime minister, david cameron. as a matter of fact, that trip ended up having a few gaffes and this time around, donald trump is not meeting with david cameron, not meeting with top government officials in scotland and has come under heavy criticism. the prime minister here slammed donald trump's proposal to temporarily ban muslims from coming into the u.s. and trump has questioned whether or not the u.s. and britain would have a good relationship, should he become president. so there are a lot of pitfalls waiting for him here. he may get into the rough, he may get into a few sand hazards
4:04 pm
or water hazards when he lands here. and, you know, you should know, also, erin, that in addition to visiting this golf course, he's heading up to another one in aberdeen, a short drive from here. that project has been pretty controversial. he's -- donald trump has tried to use scottish version of eminent domain to claim property. that didn't work out. he clashed with residents up there and a few residents have raised mexican flags, as you said, to protest his stance against immigration. and so as -- as donald trump stirs up controversy back in the united states, he's doing it over here in the united kingdom, as well. >> all right, jim acosta, thank you very much. on the ground for that important trip. trump's business trip has some questioning his priorities. we are literally now in the final countdown of the republican convention. jeff zeleny is "outfront." tonight, donald trump is heading to scotland. he's not visiting world leaders, but promoting a trump golf course. >> it's already a masterpiece, and we're going to further
4:05 pm
enhance it. >> reporter: after winning their presidential primary, candidates often take a victory lap to showcase their foreign policy credentials. like mitt romney in 2012. and barack obama in 2008. not trump. he is showcasing his brand abroad as republicans at home worry about his chances in november. he's trying to reset his campaign. turning the focus to his rival. >> hillary clinton may be the most corrupt person ever to seek the presidency of the united states. >> reporter: he's touching down in britain, the day after its referendum on whether to leave the european union. a consequential vote for which trump has expressed support. hillary clinton has been highly critical of how trump's comments would influence the global economy. >> it matters when a presidential candidate talks like this. because the world hangs on every
4:06 pm
word our president says. the markets rise and fall on those statements. >> reporter: republicans are pressing trump to get his campaign back on track. starting with his massive fund-raising shortfall to clinton. he said today, he would no longer make his campaign repay a $50 million loan. >> i've got a lot of money and i might put up my own money too. i probably will at some point. >> reporter: he also told hewitt, he's leading toward announcing some members of his cabinet before election day. a practice he thought was common until hewitt told him otherwise. >> i think i might be inclined to do that. i don't think it's that unusual. that's been done before, hasn't it, hue? >> no, i don't think we've ever had a cabinet maybe named. there was a hint that colin powell was going to be named as secretary of state. >> did they wait until after the election? >> yes, yes. >> now that conversation was an interesting window into just how new all of this is for trump. he insists he's getting his
4:07 pm
campaign operation in order and there are some signs of that tonight. we learned he hired a veteran campaign manager in ohio who helped president bush win that state in 2004. many republicans are still looking for more signs here and visiting his golf courses in scotland is not exactly what some of them had in mind. >> all right, jeff zeleny, thank you very much. and "outfront" now, the former trump campaign manager, political commentator here at cnn. corey lewandowski. welcome to cnn. a lot of things to ask you about tonight. first i want to ask questions with you, questions our viewers will have. you are now a contributor for us here. you and i have done many interviews and now you're a contributor. did you sign a nondisclosure agreement when you worked for the trump campaign? >> so when i came on the campaign -- thanks first and foremost for having me on. it's a pleasure to be with you tonight. when i came on board the trump campaign, like everybody else, i said what i would do is keep confidential information confidential. and i signed a document to that
4:08 pm
degree and i don't plan on breaking that. my confidentiality agreement is such that i would be -- private conversations that take place between family members will be held in the closest and strictest of confidence with me. and i think that's my duty and my obligation not just as someone who signed a document, but more importantly as a person who has respect for the individual he worked for. so i'll -- i will tell you, that i'm not here to release private information of family members or discussions that took place that the public has no reason to be aware. >> okay. so private conversations. also in determines of whether you're going to be able to say what you really think. the agreement that cnn obtained that trump employees signed says something more specific than what you just said, corey. it said during the term of your service you hereby promise and agree not to demeanor disparage publicly the company mr. trump, any trump company, any family member or any family member company. did you sign something like that? that said no disparaging?
4:09 pm
>> let me tell you who i am. and for those who don't know me, i'm a guy who calls balls from strikes. i'm going to tell it like it is. that's how i've had my entire career and most of the time my own detriment. people know i'm a straight forward person. i'll tell it exactly like it is, whether you like it or not. and maybe that's the reason i don't have some of the jobs i should have had or been given opportunities, because i'm a straight forward person. that's not going to change. no matter what i've done or what i've said, if something is wrong, i'm going to tell people it's wrong. if something is right, i'm going to tell people it's right. nothing will stop me from telling the truth, in my opinion, regardless of what it is. >> even when it's saying something bad about donald trump. bottom line, even when it's saying something bad about donald trump? >> i'm going to say it like it is. if i agree, if i disagree, i'm going to tell you, this is right, this is wrong, this is my opinion. and i think that's what people have a right to have. my opinion on what i believe is right and wrong doesn't mean you have to agree with me. >> let me give a chance to do
4:10 pm
that right now, corey, for our viewers. the "washington post" is reporting a new company called left hand enterprises, formed in april, two big payments, three quarters of a million dollars from the trump campaign and got it in a few days. it went from not existing to getting three quarters of a million dollars in a few days, in the top ten biggest vendors in the trump campaign. and as you know, the latest filings had only $1.3 million cash on hand this month. so we're talking half of that would be going to one vendor. what is this company? what did it do for the campaign? can you tell us? >> the company was listed as a direct mail expense and was supposed to be doing direct mail in nebraska and indiana. and let me tell you this. and i don't try to pass the buck. i can tell you if there is anything that has not been appropriate, mr. trump will find it and fix it. and i can tell you that this campaign that i have no longer -- that i'm no longer part of, but i was very diligent, every vendor knows that we deserve that mr. trump
4:11 pm
would get the best price, the best rate and whatever may be on left hand enterprise, whatever job was supposed to be done, and if it wasn't, we'll make sure the money is returned properly. >> so were you responsible then for left hand enterprises? >> i was not responsible for that. that came out of a separate budget which i didn't have under my purview. i can tell you, because i've worked there for an extended period of time. that every dime that goes out of that building through that campaign, is scrutinized and looked at and vetted and i would be sure right now based on the story that the "washington post" is reporting is that there is an internal audit taking place right now, to ensure that every dime was spent properly, and donald trump is the only person who does this, to watch his -- he watches this money, because it's been his money for so long. and that's what he would do with the federal government, as well. >> so corey, just to be clear, so i understand. you're saying that you know that it was for direct mail. obviously, it's a huge amount of money, especially for two states. indiana, obviously, a significant one. nebraska, less so in the
4:12 pm
process. but if it wasn't under your purview, whose was it under? at that time paul manafort? >> that's right. there were two separate budgets in the campaign and this was the direct obligation of, you know -- this did not fall into my purview, the state operations budget which was held responsible through another party and not mine. just to be clear, i am certain that the money was spent wisely. it was spent in the best accord with what the campaign standards are. but it wasn't something i was directly responsible for. >> all right. in the three days since you were fired, corey -- three-and-a-half, right? it was obviously sudden on monday morning. the trump family has said some really flattering things about you. here's a brief snippet for people who haven't caught it all. >> i think corey is terrific. i watched him before, he was terrific toward me. >> corey is an amazing guy. >> we have a great relationship with corey. >> all right. corey, you have been pretty honest about this in that you did not see your firing coming. you had a conference call, you walked into a room, it happened.
4:13 pm
huff a few days now. do you feel angry? >> i don't. i feel honored. i feel honored to have been part of changing the american political system for the rest of our lives and hopefully so much further. and the trump family has been so good to me and my family and so generous that it's been so humbling to know that for a small period of time, i had a small role in helping with this campaign. and the generosity they have shown me, and the kindness that they brought me in and let me into their family and to their hearts and their lives. to give me the privilege of running a presidential campaign. it's been a great experience for me, and i have no ill will. as a matter of fact, i would -- i would go back and do it exactly the same way, only better. and if i did something to disappoint the family and i didn't accomplish what they needed, then they did what they needed to do because the campaign is bigger than cory lewandowski. it's about changing the direction of our country. and if that means the only way to get donald trump elected president is i'm not part of the
4:14 pm
campaign any more, sure that's tough. but you know what, sometimes it's tough. and you have to be tough to get the results that you need. that this country needs. and i am fully committed in my tri private time with my family and friends and telling everybody i know that donald trump is going to save this country for my children and hopefully their children someday. so, know, it's been a great privilege. >> certainly no disparaging there. let me ask you something, corey. you heard donald trump this morning talking to hugh hewitt saying whether it's possible he might come out early whoever what his potential candidate picks might be. obviously you have to have a vp before that. when you left this week, did he have a vp in mind? >> well, the list when i left was very, very short. it was ongoing conversations. the individuals who he is talking to about being part of that process, have all agreed they want to be part of that process. and look, there's been some speculation out there that people don't want to be part of this. it's absolutely the opposite.
4:15 pm
every person he has talked to, had an interest in talking to, has reaffirmed with 100% certainty they would be absolutely welcome on the ticket. they want to do this. these are individuals who are of the highest quality that are ready and able to serve in a capacity, should they be part of the ticket that gets elected. they would be ready to go on day one, there's no on-the-job training here. and these people would be ready to go and are excited about the prospect of being on the detective with mr. trump. >> all right. so corey, how short is that list? you say short list. what does that mean? i'm not asking for names. you're not going to give them. is it three, four, two? how long is the list? >> it's no more than four right now. it's no more than four individuals right now, and these are the absolute very best. people that everyone will know, they're household names, people he has said will help him achieve his legislative agenda, people who are going to very, very happy when he final makes the determination of which one of those he's going to select. >> so corey, let me ask you one more thing about how he handles himself in public. he was asked in an interview
4:16 pm
today, as you saw, on nbc with lester holt about hillary clinton's e-mails. he said, her use of a private serve enable foreign governments to hack her e-mails. he said it in a speech yesterday and now lester holt asked him about it. here's the key exchange. >> is there any evidence that it was hacked, other than routine phishing? >> i think i read that and heard it -- >> where? somebody gave me that information. i will report back to you. i'll give it to you. >> should he stop making this allegation without proof, corey? at this point, there is -- let's just be clear. there is no proof. >> here's the issue we have with the e-mail server, right? this was hiding in someone's bathroom, in some location, held offsite. hillary clinton has admitted she has made a massive mistake on this. hundreds of fbi agents looking into this. she has clearly committed a crime against our country. there are 33 e-mails or so still classified on that server that should never have been. >> the real question is -- the
4:17 pm
real question is, did a foreign government hack it? there is no proof. that's what he specifically alleged in the speech. what -- >> here's what we do know -- what we do know is that we do know that a foreign government hacked the dnc's e-mail system. we know that for sure. and they have admitted to that. what we don't know is that did they also hack hillary clinton. we don't know that -- >> so guess -- you're giving him advice now. you're not his campaign manager any more. would you tell him to stop saying things he does not know to be true? >> no. what i think you have to do is you have to raise an issue because is there is a serious question about the security of those e-mails. what we know is there are classified documents on those e-mails for sure. the u.s. senate has those e-mails and they're under a classified briefing right now. so the american people can't have those. the state department continues not to release all of the e-mails, because they're classified. and the fact that these were in an unsecured location is a crime, and the fact is, the federal government should be prosecuting hillary clinton for this crime. and they have chosen not to do it. that's what the root of this is
4:18 pm
about. >> the root of it is she has been charged with nothing at this point and there has been no evidence of proof. >> and that's a failure of our government, is the problem. that's a failure of our government because if it wasn't hillary clinton, you or i using a private server to store classified materials, you and i would both be charged by now. >> i'll leave it there. thank you very much. i appreciate your time. >> thank you. "outfront" next, the supreme court blocking president obama's immigration plan that would have protected more than 4 million people from deportation. that decision, how does it play directly into donald trump's hands. and growing concern in the trump campaign. and ben carson calling out trump for attacking hillary clinton's religion. ben carson, yes, one of his top surrogates. our special report on a favored trump attack. mr. brady, we've been expecting you.

4:22 pm
tonight, trump claiming victory after a deadlocked supreme court blocked president obama's controversial executive actions on immigration reform. trump warning on twitter, supreme court has confederate us safe for now but hillary is taking jobs from hispanic and african-american workers and that was just the beginning of the battle. michelle kosinski is "outfront." >> reporter: the president's disappoint palpable. >> i have pushed to the limit of my executive authority. in november, americans are going to have to make a decision about what we care about and who we are? the supreme court dealing him a major blow, his most recent executive action on immigration, affecting more than 4 million people who came to america illegally, allowing them to temporary safety from deportation, and the ability to work, study, get driver's licenses and tax credits, remains in limbo. and this issue now in the hands of the next supreme court justice, the next congress, the
4:23 pm
next president. donald trump, who has built his campaign on keeping certain people out -- >> we're going to build the wall. we have no choice. we have no choice. they're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're rapists -- >> reporter: and warns that hillary clinton's plans will go even further than obama's. also, obama and clinton should not meeting with the special interests and start meeting with the victims of illegal immigration. clinton slamming trump in her own statement, this decision is also a stark reminder of the harm donald trump would do to our family, our community and our country. because republicans have refused to take up the nominee for the supreme court, the now eight justices split evenly on whether president obama overstepped his legal bounds by taking executive action. the president tried to reassure
4:24 pm
supporters that the families affected will be low priorities for deportation. but what democrats are calling a defeat for millions of people wanting to come out of the shadows -- many conservatives view as a -- >> a win for the constitution, presidents don't write laws, congress writes laws. >> reporter: you look at the amazing revolution. congress unable to reach a compromise. the president says he is forced to go around congress. and republicans call that a gross overreach. there are lawsuits filed. ultimately, they refuse to even consider his supreme court nominee. and now you have a supreme court deadlock on a major issue. the way the white house described this today, is dysfunction in congress. now infecting the judiciary. erin? >> thank you very much, michelle, from the white house. and now trump supporter, jason osborne, john avlon, and bass soes michael. this iss this issue was trump's rallying
4:25 pm
cry. i've done interviews, you've done interviews. he says i'm the one who put this on the table, very proud of it. the wall with mexico. did this ruling give him a win today? >> it's a vindication in the short run but also evidence of broken government in a fundamental way. the supreme court didn't make a decision today. they effectively punted the. if they had ruled against him, his voters would have been riled up. and that can be a win heading into the polls. if there is one political phrase donald trump knows, it's the people vote out of fear, not love. it's true. instead, the people who are affected by this, the dreamers, and those families and the undocumented, their energy is going to be on the activists and their families. >> they want to get out. >> their energies get behind them because of this ruling. not trump supporters. >> i think this is a complete win. not just for trump, but for america. if you look at this -- i think you have to under that this win -- or this ruling today,
4:26 pm
reaffirms what trump has been saying, what the 16 other republican candidates for president are saying. >> there is no ruling today. >> what the congress said. there is no action today. >> the inability to decide. right. exactly. >> but at the very least, it stopped what could be a disastrous thing for our country, moving forward. in that we need to have an immigration policy set forward. with he we don't need a president who is going to say who he admitted himself, i don't have the authority to do this. >> bringing millions of families out of the shadows. 300,000 here in new york alone, making them part of the economy. something that hillary clinton talked about, even if you don't support what hillary clinton is saying. >> people who came here illegally and did not come in and play by the rules. >> but they're -- but they are playing by the rules now. and the fact -- >> now? not when they got here. >> but they're playing by the rules now and want to be productive citizens. how is this actually good for the nation when you have millions of people, families, that actually want to pay their taxes, that want to actually contribute to this economy, and
4:27 pm
they're not being allowed to do so. >> because i'm sitting here looking and having been out in iowa and new hampshire and south carolina, the last several months. and hearing stories from people saying, i lost my job because my company downsized, and most overseas. i lost my job because they could find somebody else -- that could work less hours. so tell that to the guy in michigan that's losing his auto parts -- >> what donald trump is doing to me is far more dangerous when you add his statement on. that these individuals are taking jobs away from african-americans, from latinos. latinos, by the way, who he is disparaging -- african-americans, he's got the one -- >> in a statement today, just want to make sure -- in his statement today, he said, clinton has pledged to extend this amnesty, hurting poor african-american and hispanic workers. >> to me, that is one of the most dangerous statements you can make. what is he doing, playing again to people's fears. putting communities against each other. and that to me is the hallmark of his candidacy. playing to people's fears and not aspirations. >> what's real about this,
4:28 pm
though? this is not a vindication for any position. it is deadlocked because of broken government. and so it's not a -- you can make a -- you can make a reasonable case. the president obama overreached with this decision. >> doesn't this motivate -- to that point, wouldn't this motivate both sides to go vote? right? because whoever gets out there is going to get justice. >> and that is the ultimate example of the politicization of the court. that is what we're looking at. the supreme court, the politicians and justices, which are supposed to be distinct separate branches have plured to the point where they're indistinguishable. >> by a congress that doesn't want to engage the president's nominee. the president wants to do his job. why is congress not doing their job? the issue in the first place that this -- >> watch out. because, look, if hillary clinton is elected, all of a sudden you're going to see a bunch of senators say, you know what, merit garland is really reasonable. we should get him in the lame
4:29 pm
duck session right away. >> isn't this in a weird way making the argument to not fill the spot? because it does say, this is an issue the country deeply cares it. it should be -- if you're this close to an election, shouldn't it be the will of the people? >> that's what joe biden said. >> of joe biden said that, chuck schumer said it. doesn't this make that case? >> washington is full of situational ethics, no question about it. i actually do disagree with that. when you have the longest vacation in american history, it does lead to basic liang inability for the government to do its job. at least give it a vote. the reality is that the president tried to put forward a centrist justice, not a spring chick chicken on the court. that itself is a compromised gesture, at least up or down. instead you get division and dysfunction. >> thanks to all of you. you're going to stay with me. next, trump's top adviser in charge of heading off a delegate revolt. could republicans derail. and the long list of politicians
4:30 pm
whose faith has been questioned. a trump adviser calling out the presumptive republican nominee. one of his top surrogates. if you have moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis, and you're talking to your doctor about your medication... this is humira. this is humira helping to relieve my pain and protect my joints from further damage. this is humira helping me go further. humira works for many adults. it targets and helps to block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to ra symptoms.

4:34 pm
tonight, the push to stop donald trump at the republican convention is hitting the airwaves, a super pac leading the charge for delegates to revolt, just launching this ad in iowa. >> iowa republicans committee man steve scheffler trying to force republican delegates to vote for donald trump and threatening those who find that vote for morally offensive. this is one of those times when the delegates need to be free to vote their conscience. >> the trump campaign not leaving anything to chance. the chair, paul manafort, with 200 trump supporters to plot their path to squash. phil, this was one of the first things manafort did when he took over the campaign, right? said he was going to get control of the delegates situation. this is -- a sign that they are worried about this. isn't it? >> i think it's a sign they're taking it seriously, erin. is it still a long shot? no question about it. you have to think back to when we were going to head to a
4:35 pm
contested convention. that was a very jarring experience inside the trump campaign. week after week, watching ted cruz's operation outorganize, outflank, outhustle on the delegate side of things. what you're seeing now led by pa paul manafort to make sure something like that never happens again, erwin. >> and the trump campaign not functioning like a typical campaign. in a lot of ways. not enough people, other things, as well. can this effort put that to rest? >> i think when you look at -- look, they're never going to be a traditional campaign. they have made that very clear. donald trump has made that very clear. however, when you look at this and a few other things that have happened this week, after an anemic fund raising report for the month of may, he's had a great three days. sources saying he raised more than $11 million over the short period. now all of a sudden has a rapid response operation going on. raising a lot of money online which they didn't pay attention to before. and this organized effort by paul manafort. what we're seeing is a traditional campaign in a trump
4:36 pm
fashion, i guess. start to come through. and i think that's important. you talk to republicans who have been so wary of this campaign, so wary of this candidate, up to this point. their biggest concerns have been the infrastructure, or complete lack thereof. that is starting to be put in place, and the latest thing we saw, erin, donald trump hired his ohio state director and it's a very well-known, very impressive republican in the state, ran some of george w. bush's operations, as well as the 2010 campaign. while this will never be a normal campaign, they're at least moving toward some element of normalcy, erin. >> thank you very much, phil. and jason osborne and steve long long gan. so now you've got a conference call for the trump campaign, talking about you and what you're doing. they know you exist. they're doing something about it. are you worried that now means -- you're going to fail? >> we expected this. no, we expected they would gear up to take on this challenge. we have got people coming on board every day, raising money every day, raising bigger and
4:37 pm
bigger money every day. and you're going to see bigger tv ads over the next couple weeks. ear not going away. there was a lot of excitement over a contested convention and a lot of argument how it would be great for the republican party. we blew that. we want to see a contested convention. we want to see donald trump get off the golf course in a couple days, come back to america, and campaign. and show us what it is to be a presidential candidate. >> so when i asked jason whether he's really worried about this, when you say big money and more ads, what can you tell me about how much money are we talking about that you've raised? >> i will tell you we will raise -- we have and will raise a significant amount of money. we are building the staff to have a true operation in place of paul manafort, eight whips on the floor, we'll have 16. we'll be reaching out to the delegates. you know, what the number one guy who can win this convention is donald trump. it's his to lose. and we know it's very, very difficult. we're well aware. >> and you've said that before. >> we also know that if donald trump is left unchallenged, and if he continues the way he's
4:38 pm
going, he's going to take the republican party out to cataclysmic defeat. and that's a word i use a lot. >> are you worried? >> no. this conference call that occurred was a normal occurrence that happens every four years before a convention. a whip operation on the floor that's responsible for talking to each delegation. romney did it, mccain did it, bush did it. every convention i've done and there have been six of them, this is a normal occurrence. -- >> no. >> yes, of course, it is normal, steve. to actually recognize who the nominees are, and i will keep -- you know, let this point get out there. today was the first day that all the delegates' names were released publicly. >> right. >> so this idea that there were 1,000 people on a conference call of delegates seems very, very suspect to me. i'm not diminishing your efforts. i know that you guys want to continue to push a candidate that dropped out several months ago. but this is the -- the reality is that every state made their decision at the end of september on how they were going to
4:39 pm
conduct their caucuses. 14 million people voted for donald trump. >> 16 million, though, people who voted in the republican primaries voted for someone who was not donald trump. not the same person. but still, more people didn't want him than wanted him. >> and 50% of republicans in your polls don't want donald trump. double the number of people. >> they changed the process before. don't change the process now. you're going to leave it up to 57 people? >> the process is -- >> 57 people are going to decide -- >> jason, it is not normal for there to be a delegate uprising and a campaign to go into turmoil, not raising money -- heading into a convention. >> three weeks beforehand? it's normal for a campaign to have a conference call with people that are working the convention three weeks outside of a convention. that is normal. >> it's normal. >> it is normal to have some people that are upset and don't like the way that the system worked for them, even though the new establishment which you were a part of -- >> it's still working. >> the system doesn't end until the process of the convention.
4:40 pm
>> then tell me how you're going to convince 14 million people that voted for one candidate, not 16 million that voted for 16 other candidates -- that there is a save save you're out there that you're going to disrupt the convention for what? walker? cruz? >> what is going to sell, cruz? what is your sell? >> it's interesting. you know what happens when we get him on the phone? people say what about violence in the convention? what if donald trump brings violence? these are delegates and activists. what about the threats in our state. this is what we hearing from delegates. and by the way, the people are not all delegates. he needs to address it and he's not doing it. >> are you worried he's going to scotland for a couple days? >> no. donald trump has got a business to run. so him going to scotland?
4:41 pm
-- >> it's important. >> you would not say the same thing about ted cruz going back to the senate to vote on an important piece of legislation. that's his job. so don't say that donald trump going over to scott land -- for what, two nights? >> only two nights. he set his job aside and business aside to become president or continue to run it from the white house? >> i'm sure -- >> i will tell you -- >> that's up to him. >> yeah. all right. >> he's leading it up to -- >> thank you both very much. we'll be back. both of you, together.
