kara swisher of recode, #how did we get on cruz side, talking about donald trump threatening ted cruz's wife. it strikes me it comes on a day where the house speaker, paul ryan, came out to talk about dirty politics and to tone down the rhetoric and the insults, right. >> reporter: and keep in mind that ryan is also the chair of the republican convention coming up in cleveland this summer. he's trying to tamp things down before they get to cleveland. donald trump has suggested they could have riots in cleveland. they're preparing for that. paul ryan comes out and tries to say, look, we need to unify this party, we need to be focused on civility and not some of the nasty things we've seen. he didn't mention donald trump by name, but he certainly is trying to change the tone within the republican party. >> maybe he should have. tracie, thank you. good to see you this morning. more on the ryan speech in my must read later on in the show. we want to get to sports. a showdown of western conference rivals in the nba last night. the los angeles clippers traveling to the bay area to take on the
