is that procecess under way? is t there a comingtogether, if you will, between donalald trum and thehe rnc? >> i believe there i is a comin together, yes, and really a lot of the acrimony a as you calll isis really a lot of misundererstandiding. donald t trump always understoo as the ninee of thee republican party he w wouould be working w reblican nationanal committee, ththe s senator y'allll camampa mmittee, c congressional commmmittee rga a and oth instititutions because as leade of the party his goal is n not only to ee likt himsmself but ensusure a republican majity in the coness and help elect governors and other downstream members as well. >> i want to turn to -- it unded though -- as though that there was a pledge of deeper operation certainly than there s been. at may note a terrific amount, b a pledge of a traditional relatiohip between e nomee and the rnc

including furaising, organizati, campaigning for caidates. ishat aair -- fr statent? >> dond trp has been talking to the chairman of th party overhe cours of the lastew week and has had very good phone calls a recently as yesterday and he has made it cleaear that he' looking forwar to working with him to pull the party tother. as fars he's concerned as he bemes the psumpve nominee he uerstands that the chairman of the partyas an responsibility really to work to helpri the unity as well togeth with trump. and so this - it's process, is an going press, we're getti closer to this poi where he wille the presumptive nominee a then the nomin nominee. we bieve that there will n be a consted cvention in cleland and we don't want t wait until clevend to start puttg together the apparatus necessary to run anited republic nomination ithe fall. you have two candidate out

>> a f few thoughts now o th games or at ast some of the games being played by republican leaders and the gop establblishment. speaker paull ryan w i i really like, i think he is a very likeable fellow, he j jus happes toto belong in both campsps and seems unanable these dss to control himself. ryan infuriati h hououse republblicans with his spending bill tha would raise the dedeficit, offending manany by reaching deals with president obama before reachingg deals wit gop h house members or even lettinghehem know what's going on. and then injecting himself into

presidential politics, aacacking donald trump and then making his first lat n night tv apprance and playi cute with steven colbert. >>et me say it in clear english. no. >> okay. how about cle rman? >> clear russian. reign language ] >> wow, you seem to know a lot of foreign languages,s, that ki of eerience willl comen handy if you decide to accephe publican minati. >> hisate show aearance not p particularly bright moveey the speakerho is annoyin just about everybodyhese days except of course mr. obama and thedemocrats. ryan's apprance certainly didn't help him offset his graph s deficit. some might be forgiven for thinking the speaker appearing a triefl silly n a the speaker seemslways t to be lacking a sense of proportio as yesterday

wh he rather transparent lie triedo boost the beleaguered chairman of the rnc. an's good pal rnce priebus invited toapitol hillo bri house republins on the delegate process. declaring that priebus has receed, well, an extremely vorable warm reception by the house. ryan alsodding he iso please that had someone like prius i in charge of e rnc, making sure theules are followed. you only imagine donald trump's delight a he listens to such triep. all ryan accomplished w was to ave everyone shang their heads at h naivefivete and some migh say his boldness and that he wast rea in any way for that j he didn't sk but now hos. mitch mcconnell trying mkly to walk bac his anti-trump remarks saying he spok as he put it,

inartfully. theyalk like that in the senate, youknow, when he said was increasiny optimistic that there will be a second ballot at the convenon. he has deced that was probably too much. with allhese so-called leaders lacking an obvious tact, constraint, inteect, convicti, gph tas and character it is noonr donald trump unsettles them so profoundly. ifhe gop les seats i in the house or senate itt wl clearly be theault of their leade and it appppears the only way my of those threatene sts will suiv in fact will be on the strong ctt tails of a true leader who has yeto be welcomed by the weak now our quotation of the evening, this one from pj o'rourke whosaid, the are two parties, the silly party and the st pay. i'm t old for the silly partyty i had to join the stupid

partrty. in my opininion, i i may sa the two parties it seems to me have a a lot in common with each oth, don't you ththink? follow me on twitter @"lou dobbs tonight," like me on facebook, follow me on facebook. we will get too " "lou dobbs tonight,t," links for everythin are there. > a hollywood stunt man perfrforming a mananeuver he caa leapap ofaith. damian walters showingff -- oh, my goodss. look at that. i don't care how that wawas don ththat's -- i mean, that's just crazy. you've gotot a lot of faithth ie fell or whoever heas yelled jump.. it was going, by the way,y, mis an hour. walters is no stranger to mes like this, he served as a stunt double to daniel craig's james nd in sky fall. upp next,ririebus says the

system isotot rigged. >> the nominee has to have a majority of delegates supporting that persoson and when seoeone gets a majorit of delegates they are g going to be the n noe ofurur party, t se thihingng that abraham lincoln enjoyed, it's the se thing that's going to happen in 2016. >> republilican campaign attorn charlie spies weighs in us with us collect. he does spepeak for the establisent. we will hear what the establishment haso stay for itlf. he joins me xt. stay with us

our audience beleliess that he should b called that a at this popoint and i had mee a barinin with my didience as i often do that iilill do what they say. >> traditiononallyhehe nominee earns that. >> yes, i tnknk so, but these are not traditional times, are they? i mean, how a we going to see the republican party now becauae they have made progress obviousl t that emanates from both the c itself, reince priebus, and paul manaft t representing his cacandidate. this should be a time of consnsiderabononfidence and good feelings. i n't get that sense frorom thther senenator cruzrr governo kasichch or charlie speeeece. >> or donald d tr imean, if he was cfident that he was going to winin thise wowouldn't be sayining the systm was rigggged. th's a setup t to thehen campai for when he doesn't win. >> to clarify, he did say that -- paul l manafort said th

trump never intendedd to sugst thatat the individuals were corrupt only the systems itself archchaic, byzainine, arcane dii mention and d sometimes to the reesentative of the will o of the people. youon't disagree with that. >> t that's a verery good atttto clean up for his candidate butu his candidate spepent the lasttw we attackingng the rnc and i thinkkf you were -- >> feel like i should p put my hand over myy heart ass you say the rnc.c. >> well, the rnc has68 republblican actisists and peop who have toioild in the fields trying to get canandites elected. >> therere ia reciprocacal bibilateral relatnship he, that is, reince priebubus who w exaordinarily hosostile toward nald trump, the mananhole be running the conntntio speaker ryan crititical and severely s f trump. thesee we supposed to be neutral people. u can understand why thehere might be a shared misapprehension on thehe part o both the rnc and the trump

understand there is a necessily at some point to t some of these conessional siders on his team for the delegate purposes and ts that willappen at the convention, b look, when he makesit, she has been a part of the problem, iring the solutions, i'm an outsider that's the stronge narrative for trump. >> chris, your reaction? >> you kn, the rncs in an imssible situation ts year, i don't think there is winning path for the and if it continues to appear thatonald trump is at odds with th rnc i agre with eboni that actually helps donald trumpecause they represent of course the establishment and he doe not. so if they are at logger heads, go for him, bad for the rnc. i n't think there is aay out forthem. th should not cnge the rules, they were wise to not art changing the rulesnow, that wouldn' have passed the smell test, that wld have been very bad forfor them. they should ctinue to not change the rules. >> i agree with youf going into the wee before the convenon suddenly they are taking strong look at

adjuing rule 40-b or some of the other then you are going to be a compoded effe, youre going to ha a a stench not a smell result. >> you bet. >> is it too early, eboni, for donaldrump he says as we're listening to him i harrisburg tonight he say he's poting to presesential, preparing to. do you think thiis the time? >> i think it's early. i think your tease -- lou, you talk abo notixing someing that's not broken. regardle of his unfavorables, regardss of the cenges th he faces and he does he many i think he is still t front nner for a reason we're not even in may yet, still a ways o from julyo start becoming more o a, quot aditiona candidate. tritionalandidates are not doing wl this year, ask marco rubio. >> paul manafort, hhahad talked with the rnc, he a rickiley

we down there inhollywood, florida, where the rnc i meetg and, you know sd they're going to shift more traditional mpaign, do fundraisingor the rnc. it soued warm, it snded good andaul manafort said they've done the process of coming gether. do you believe it? >> if it is happening it's vy reluctant. it reluctant on everybody' part. if donald trump does bece the nomineehen obviously that's going to have to happenen. i don't see it happening before he becomes t nomineen earnest anyway. i th they' going through e motions, it's kind of a first dance. that's fi, that's good news because if he does becomehehe nominee then the partys going to have to adapt to the ft that he ishe nominee. as for donald trump becing more presidential, i agree wh ebi again, it mig be a little too ear and as you said if it ain't broke don't fix it, but at some poi perha aft he becomes t nomin if he does he i think is going to have

to change uphe routine a bit and become more aleast in some respects tditionally presential. >> and t chris' poi that's where he has more leverage, nald trump. just finish strong, don't't cow tail,inish strong and make them take the bitter pill of donald ump. don't do i the other way around. ion't think any of us he the slightest concern i that rerd. i thinkt is -- withed cruz seem tgo step u his attacks on trump since he got walloped in new york, i think it is wel established is a little early yet. eboni williams, chris plan as alwaysat to haveou guys here. >> thks, lou. games gold medalist centlyetting a new world record. you have to seeit. tom wallish completing longest r slide on successfully going down a rail 424 feet, e previous record5, was a year old record.

lou. >> letet'start by the victo by donald trump in new york, paul manafort talking about 1,1,400 their projection. i wouldn't suguggest there's an marketing i in thatat, but do y think that's a realistic number? >> that souounds to me like a little bit of sigh war, lou, it's a a signal to all thehe dedelegates saying in effect, look, fellas, g get aboard thi train is leaeavi the station and make sure you're on it. but i do thinkk t thahat the possibility exists that donalal trump could t take this thing prettyty handily on the firstst baot, but 1,400 soundnds a little bit out of the range for me. >> 1,400 or 1,300,0, you know, these still bececom workablee mbers. let'ss turn if we cacan to the party itselflf. i have nevever seen the partyty an i have covered cononveions from '76 forward -- i have never seen aty take o on their f

runner the way the elites othe gop havee tenen on donald d ump. have you? >no, iavave not. and to a d dege some of ththe elites in 196464 out at the pale did this when goldwater w taken and h agents were ting the p par away fm themem. i thinink the same thing obtain here,, lou. thesese elites seeee in a trumpn for the nominatioio and a successful run r really theirir eclipse. hick takakin over the party. him moving o a n direction o tre deals, him securing the borderersnd no nesty. and even i in e intervention a l er the woworl these military terventions which many o of the neo cons favor there may be no more. think they all see their agenda, they a see tir rice bobowls brokennd their a agenda cancnceled. >> when youou mtioned the neo cons, i mean, thehe strong -- t surprise h here to me the strongesesturprise of a all has been t the evangelical, the

religiouous cononseatives in th countryy who are embracing donad trump even ashe n neo c cons ret fear and rejection at the anticipation of a trump agenend others are embmbring and a new balalanc is being, if you wi, projected by the trump candid y candidacy.y. >> i think the evavangicals are shshowing a measure of sophistication here.. look, eveveryone agreeees the coununtr is in rea trouble, trump, whateveverr you say, he'o the dna michchl, energy aboutut him and he's g going too deaeal thesee ththings. i think what they're saying s ok, we trustst trumpot because weelieve he is a social conservavativeve or evangelical christian, but we e think he wi what is in hisis interest and the party intnterest and we believe him when heeays he will put alia-type fellas o on the supreme court. so i think it's a sophisticicat response onn the ptt of thee evgelicals. >> y you talked in your most recentolumn abobout the gop

sking suicide here. do you believe the elites are going to at leasast at some poi come to their senense and say - and acknowlededge the froront rr and begin a heaealing process a move towardunity? >> i think the elites are almlms out of the game, lo i ththink the realhallenge a the onlyy challenenge to trump comes from cr. but will say this, i if this party gathers i in cleveland an trumump has the most vtories and the mostt stes and the mosost deletes a and millions more vos than a anyone else and the biggestt crowds ever and the party t the tururns and says, n we present t to america o our winner, our nominee, ted crcruzi ththink that is r reay not crededib for the party to say at that point. but i think the eliteseally they have been feeble herere in washington, d.c., t they seem t have no control, we t tal abou the esblblishment, it's been

shoved aside in a battle betwewn trump and cruz and i don't k kn what cruzz is saying, but he's never seemedd to me to have bee realally beloved figure up on capitol hill. >> that is what they call a kind dedescription for the senatoror capitotol hill. let m me turn, pat - -- >> rere. >> -- to o th agenda. you have paul ryan, t the speak, who will be rununni the convention as is trtraditional, bubut have never seen a speaker beoth -- interject himself into therace, attack a ndidate andimultaneously say he is goingng to put forwardrd agenda tt willompete with that of f th nomie. this is unheard ofof, especiall when thatominee is bringing inn millions andillions of people into the tent thatt has been woefully, woefully attendedd ovr the coursrse of the two previou electioncycles. >> butut you are right a abo wh trump hasas done in termsms -- has brought people into the

reblican primaries by the millionsns and millions,, they e had t the largest turnout i thi they have ever had in any kind ofof primaries in state afterer state. >> correct. >> i would reaeally admonishehe paul ryan too take a looook at examplple. back in 1964 whehen goldwater w the nomination, rockefeller and romney and scranton they all cut him gooood-e and good luck. two people went out foror goldwater all o ove thehe count ththatyear,ichard nixon and ronald r reagann and the future belonged to them foror standingy someone they kw was going down to defeat in a h horrible defef and b being there beside him. if i weree paul ryan and he's obviviouy got a future i in the partrty would say, look, i'm going t toupport the nominee for this partyty and go out and wor for him because'm the leadeder of theorces on c capitol hill. >> pat, g great to have you her. come back soon.. always good to talk wityou. >> gd t talk to yo my friend. >> p anan. thas for joining us toght. goodnighfr new york.
