they are protesting donald trump and his meeting with paul ryan, the house speaker. are following breaking news, breaking developments from washington. donald trump, paul ryan, they are meeting right now at republican national headquarters. this was a scene a short time ago. trump waving to the media that's camped out outside republican headquarters. the big question this morning, will trump get the house speaker's endorsement for president. does he want it? does he need it? it's a high stakes meeting that began in the past half hour at rnc headquarters in washington, d.c. republican chairman reince priebus is also attending this meeting. then the rest of ryan's leadership will meet with trump. at 11:45, trump will head to the senate republican headquarters to meetd with majority leader mitch mcconnell and his leadership team. and on the morning of his big meeting a potential olive branch from trump calling for backing off his temporary ban on muslims. an interview on fox radio, trump said his proposal, was, quote, just a suggestion. let me bring in political analyst

donald trump headed to meet with paul ryan. paul ryan is not there yet to endorse donald trump. paul ryan is facing a lot of pressure to move on this. >> he is. he is not expecting a lot of members from his caucus saying he needs to get behind donald trump. paul ryan did a donald trump move when he said last week i'm not ready to support him. you have to do something for me. they will meet. it allows them the opportunity to come together. it allows for the kumbaya moment. it is hard to imagine that what is said in a one-hour meeting today can heal the kind of rift that we suggested. you know, is it all for show? is it real stuff? a lot of republicans have a lot of really big policy differences with donald trump. they will only get bigger as he pivots on the minimum wage. who knows what's going to happen? >> his son eric trump on fox said he doesn't need paul ryan's support. >> he said we would love to have it. it is something we want. when you press them, do you need it. that's when they get prickly. >>> one america with two economies. new data shows how fast the middle class is

trump is setting the tone, paul ryan is doing the same thing. talking to senior trump advisers they knew there would be no endorsement and in many ways this works to paul ryan and donald trump's advantage. and the reason being is that donald trump still looks like he is not part of the establishment even though he is. he will be the nominee. and paul ryan is able to show that he is not going to fall over for donald trump or for anyone else at the same time creating a safe haven for those candidates that are republicans that are afraid to align themselves with donald trump. and while there are differences on policy issues, wolf, there certainly will be, they are not going to be all issues, i think paul ryan's biggest concern is donald trump saying something outrageous that paul ryan just cannot accept. perhaps morally doesn't agree with and has to take a step back. >> what was also interesting to me today was you didn't see an orchestrated joint photo-op with trump and ryan together. ryan held his press conference. i'm sure we will hear from trump at some point. they didn't go out of their way to kind of come out with their hands up together and say now we are all unif

donald trump that donald trump needs to appeal to. he needs to appeal to everyone else. that is why he wants the paul don't listen to trump to come on board. i think that donald trump isn't sure how to consolidate the party. we saw at the end of the campaign the people he was running against a lot of folks said they weren't voting for them either. what donald trump needs to do is remind people it is him or hillary clinton. that is the thing to consolidate. >> paul ryan and other republican leaders have not been able to unify the party. why do you think donald trump will be able to do it? are they setting him up for failure you think? >> i think they are trying to navigate a difficult situation as party leaders. they want to obviously maintain solidarity among our base of republican voters but they recognize that a trump candidacy does not put us in the best position to win in november. the presidency, control of the u.s. senate and possibly putting house seats at risk. i think it is a difficult canc that they are trying to navigate. far from concerning with how donald trump did in the primary we have

paul ryan says he hopes he'll support donald trump, if paul ryan ends up supporting donald trump, willrry. i'm disappointed in rand paul. i'm disappointed in all the people who said -- they called him a pathological liar. they were right. they said all of these things they believed he was. now they're turning around and saying this is our best chance for freedom. >> the meeting goes next week, that will be interesting. thanks so much for being with us. alisyn. >>> the fbi will interview hillary clinton in the next few weeks, nearing a nine month investigation classified material on his private e-mail server as secretary of state and whether she knew that. cnn has learned the fbi has already interviewed several aides in clinton's inner circle. justice department pamela brown is live in washington with the latest. >> hi there, alisyn. several people in the inner circle have been brought in quietly to a room in the washington field office for the last few weeks, including clinton's long time confidant, huma abedin. she is one of the people they're speaking with, and she is cooperating the

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? >> w

the chairman of the republican party says a meeting is now set between donald trump and paul ryan. >> both donald trump and paul ryan are meeting next week to talk about these things. i think it will work out. >> republicans shaken thursday after ryan told cnn that right now he cannot support trump for president. >> so mr. speaker, you said throughout the process you will support the republican presidential nominee. now you have a presumptive nominee. donald trump. will you support him? >> well, to be perfectly candid with you, jake, i'm not ready to do that. i'm not there right now. i hope to and want to, but i think what is required we unify this party. i think the bulk of the burden on unifying the party will have to come from the presumptive nominee. >> you are saying you can't support or endorse him right now. >> yeah, i am basically saying that. you know, i thought about this two days ago. i thought actually this would go to june 7th at the least. probably to a convention. this is all pretty new for us. at this point, he needs to do more to unify the party. to bring all wings of

paul ryan. so what concession can he get? >> does donald trump want to look at paul ryan's charts? n't w read. >> he brought in charts. >> let me just say barack obama paid more attention to paul ryan's charts during health care than donald trump did yesterday. . >> he probably enjoyed the charts. he likes numbers and won key stuff. >> chart party. >> jake sherman, thank you. >>> coming up, investing in a candidate. brand new poll numbers on the presidential race inside the millionaire's survey. straight ahead on "morning joe." this just got interesting. why pause to take a pill? or stop to find a bathroom? cialis for daily use is approved to treat both erectile dysfunction and the urinary symptoms of bph, like needing to go frequently, day or night. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and medicines, and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sex do not take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain, or adempasor pulmonary hypertension, as it may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. do not drink alcohol in excess. side effects may include headache, upset stomach,

donald trump here. donald trump says i'm going to meet with paul ryan. i think it will be okay. donald trump doesn't sound like he thinks it's his job to give ground. >> i would imagine things will be okay with paul ryan. i'm meeting him thursday. he wants to meet, we're going to see what happens. if he wants to meet, i'll meet. but the important thing is you folks, okay? and he'll understand that. and he does understand that. and i would bet if he had that decision to do again he would have done it the simple way "i endorse trump" do you agree with that? >> he describes it actually, that's the way it is. in the sense that paul ryan is the board. donald trump has had a hostile takeover of the company. the company is the republican party and the board is sitting there saying what happened? >> en'won the shareholders. >> the shareholders are saying go get 'em. >> that is the problem as ryan was saying, this isn't just paul ryan versus donald trump. this is paul ryan versus the base of his party,er have russ republican voters. for ryan it's also a lot about tone. he's made a series

i want to play for you and our viewers of the back and forth between donald trump and paul ryan. here it is. >> donald trump is calling for a complete shut down of muslims entering in the united states. >> i do not comment on what's going on in the presidential election. i will take an exception today. this is not conservativism. >> i don't know -- i don't know david. >> if a person wants to be a nominee of the republican party, there can be no evasions or no games. >> i don't know him well but i am sure i am going to get along great with him and if i don't, he will have to pay a big price. >> how did those two meet now? >> fighting the issues -- >> when do they agree though? >> paul agrees with donald's issues and listening voters than ever before for the republican primary and more trades. paul's issue is pro-life. i believe they have come together on those or getting close to coming together. >> you think they're closer coming together on trades. donald trump said we should get out of a lot of these arrangements after being one of them. we know that speaker ryan is a free marke

donald trump. the tariff relongs to the congress, want the president. and then, there is this line in article one, which paul ryan, will no doubt underline, when he gives a cope to little donald trump. the house of representatives shall choose their officers, and have the sole power of impeachment. the president has no such power of of the speaker of the house. the president cannot empeach the speaker, the speaker has the power to lead the impeachment. if you read the constitution, if you know who had all the power, in that meeting today, you would know it by reading the constitution. a meeting between the speak of the house, and a candidate. if you have ever worked on legislation in the white house or congress, you know who has more power over legislative outcomes, you know all of those things, you have heard presidents promise and then not do. remember all of those things? that is because all almost all of them were up to congress. congress decided not to do them. it seemed like it was in president obama's power to close the prison at guantanamo bay. until congress passed a bill preventing him from doing t

donald trump talked about raising the minimum wage, paul ryan has been opposed to that. donald trump talked about doing nothing to slow the growth of medicare, social security and other entitlements, paul ryan's budget in the years when he was chairman of the budget committee were all about reining in those entitlement spendings that are the main drivers of the budget deficit. the list is long and not about small stuff, very big stuff. i think to say what susan said a second ago a different way, this is a power struggle here. i don't think we will see paul ryan come out and say i give up, i endorse the guy, everything is fine. this is paul ryan's moment to show that should donald trump win the presidency, paul ryan is still wanting to be seen as the intellectual policy driver in the republican party. he wants to be seen as the leader of a coequal branch of government and put his marker down that may congress a big player. jon: two issued a joint statement, let me read a bit of it for you, from house speaker paul ryan and donald j trump, the united states cannot afford ano

donald trump? and he said unpredictability. i would venture to say that's what paul ryan worries the most about trump as well, unpredictability on policy and temperament and what exactly donald trump will do to the republican party in the future. and when paul ryan has this meeting today and that one just concluded but now he's having one with the rest of the house gop leadership. i would venture to say this is the most important one. the leadership he's meeting with right now, they are the front lines of the conversations with the members. after this meeting you'll have kevin mccarthy, and steve xa lease and pat mchenry, the deputy whip. they will take what they heard and they will start answering the texts and e-mails and start answering the knocking on the doors of the rest of the over 200 members of the house gop conference who are going to say, who is this guy? we don't know him because there's always sometimes never within the conference regarding donald trump. this meeting is the most important as we've talked about earlier. obviously some love him, some hate

let me be clear, donald trump ran against all these elected officials. if paul ryan was going to continue to pick a fight with donald trump, it's hard for me to see in the end how that doesn't accrue to donald trump's benefit. donald trump is someone who is taking on these sacred cows, and it always seems to benefit him, and i think it's better for everybody to find a way to work together. you don't have to love everything about donald trump. if you're the majority leader in the senate or the speaker, if you have to criticize him from time to time, that's fine, but it's absurd the person who is going to chair our convention wouldn't endorse the nominee. it's going to happen. all this is fun but in the end we're going to come together, mostly. >> don't think it's fun for reince priebus. >> you call it absurd but it is very serious. it's not like the media forced paul ryan to come out and say i'm not there yet. i mean, this is very, very serious to the question that john had brought up earlier, who is the leader of the republican party? it kind of gets to that. bu

we will see how paul ryan and donald trump have issues to settle, paul ryan is not ready to support donald trump yet. trump is going to capitol hill next week. lauren: massive wildfires in alberta, canada growing and so are the number of people being evacuated, 8000 people airlifted to safety yesterday, adding to the 80s fleeing the planes, ahead of "the opening bell," the key jobs report dow futures down 11 points, a tough week for the stock market, two down weeks. lauren: we will watch "mornings with maria" today. hillary clinton, the coal industry on the market, that is only part of it. the obama administration's clean energy regulation kill the ones vibrant industry. adam schapiro has the details. >> reporter: the west virginia coal association endorsement of donald trump comes at a time the coal industry is suffering a big decline. it is cheaper for utilities to burn natural gas instead of coal, hillary clinton says hillary clinton is cleaning up the decline but since 2009 the obama administration has issued new regulation on the production and use of coal that have in turn made it mo

donald trump? trump meeting with speaker paul ryan in hours. can they find common ground or is the gop in for a deep divide? >>> donald trump will not release his tax returns just yet and hillary clinton blasts him. she is not alone. >>> and george zimmerman auctioning off the gun he killed trayvon martin. >>> i'm christine romans. welcome to "early start." >> i'm john berman. a big day for donald trump and big day for the republican party. hours from now, donald trump, the presumptive republican nominee, will try to convince the highest elected ranking republican that donald trump should be president. trump meets with speaker paul ryan one week after he said he refuses to endorse donald trump yet. many are pushing ryan to fall in line behind trump or risk fracturing the party. we have cnn's sara murray with the latest. >> reporter: good morning, john and christine. will there be party unity? today may be the day to give us the best indication. donald trump is traveling to washington to meet face-to-face with house speaker paul ryan. that is aft

donald trump is out there saying medicare, social security, don't touch them. paul ryan has proposed something very different there. immigration, very big difference between donald trump saying we've got to deport everyone and what paul ryan has said in terms of comprehensive reform. on those issues is this donald trump's party or paul ryan's snaert. >> it's the republican party. we're going to work together. i actually have disagreed with mr. trump on will several of these issues as mr. trump is now run is in the general election and he's reached out, that's what he does. that's what a ceo does to other folks to get their input. i believe we're going to be all be on the same page. withy are going to certainly security our borders. we're going to have peace through strength. we're going to actually bring these jobs back, fundamental tax reform is part of it, not impacting anyone currently on social security or medicare. i believe, steve, as this moves forward, you're going to see a very united platform. we're going to disagree on trade. i'm with mr. trump. tpp would

that's the responsible thing to do. >> who's the leader, paul ryan or donald trump? will be presiding over the convention in cleveland. >> donald trump may be the future of the republican party. they both say they're not ready to support each other. this is how donald trump responded. he said i'm not ready to support speaker ryan's agenda. perhaps in the future we can come to an agreement about what is best for the american people. they have been treated so badly for so long it's about time for politicians to put them first. so, can the two be united? >> they could be. and peter, i think you're right in a number of respects as to why paul ryan made the statement. thi he's giving cover to those who may have to go their own way. but he's also saying i'm not ready yet, that he's playing ft fo fo footsie. and those who did not vote for donald trump and who are skeptical, he's saying, i get you, this is where i'm at, but it could be that he could move toward donald trump. >> his motivation, political, not in a bad way, it's not personal. this is a political motivation in

what matters today is that paul ryan and donald trump had a very positive meeting, as donald trump saidthen and even now, he really doesn't know, paul ryan doesn't really know donald trump. this was morals a get to know you, i thought the joint statement afterwards was a positive step. very soon. >> maybe so, congressman. but paul ryan is very keen on reining in entitlement growth. i think you are as well. he's not heard that from donald trump. did he today, did you get word that he did? >> no, i did not follow up with either one. we just got the very positive vibes coming back from both camps, from the ryan group as well as the trump group. the meeting went even better than expected. the joint statement was good. let's face it, they both agree. we have to rein in our deficit. get a balanced budget. >> do they both agree that entitlements will be part of that? i know that's been ryan's position for a good long time. what about donald trump? do you know? do you care? >> i certainly care. what i've heard donald say is he's not going to have a negative impact on anyone currently receiving

paul ryan is going to get swayed by threats. certainly is not going to jump on donald trump's bandwagon simply because donald trump says it's time day does not end with paul ryan for donald trump. a play by play, he'll meet with mitch mcconnell, his team offices, majority whit john cornyn will also be there. >> look at that. those are war graphics. this is very impressive. >> this is big. orrin hatch will be there, roger wicker of mississippi. wicker is leading the effort to retain republican majority last month informed vulnerable meches to stay away from the convention if it would be divisive. two senators facing contests, roy blunt and portman in ohio will meet with trump, so will senators john brasso john thune of south dakota and shelly moore cap ito from west virginia. he requested the meeting and the agenda is him. unlike mcconnell, ryan's team said they are ready to work with trump. they do not wan to show disdain for voters who voted for trump. in an interview last night, trump was the one being deferential. >> who is the leader, you're presumptive, not nominee, and speaker of the house paul ryan, so who is the leader?

ryan was being cautious in meeting with donald trump. he said paulwill help change the donald trump policies and he says thank god that guy from texas did not win. john boehner in las vegas. mark: let's get back to the issue of central banks with the bank of england. could it be that the next policy move is similar. norway is expected to cut in september and investors have priced in the next moving u.k. rates as a cut. this is what the governors at both banks had to say today. >> i vote to leave the european leave the vote to european union could have economic effects on exchange rate and demand and the economy. these are artifacts that could affect the appropriate setting a monetary policy. >> [indiscernible] rates are not excluded and is based on the experiences are countries have. >> there is a possibility of a negative spillover to global financial conditions because of uncertainty generated in this country. that is a possibility. >> we are not very concerned about inflation prospects. presently, the inflation numbers are above the target of 2%.

they are different people, paul ryan is a serious minded reform oriented conservative against donald trumpo we have been witnessing over the last year as a sort of flamboyance populist nationalist. in private, paul ryan thinks that donald trump is not qualified, but he is not really much of a true conservative. after this meeting, the joint statement they put out was all about stressing the importance of unity, saying that the differences between them are very few in number and that the most important thing this year is to beat hillary clinton. so very clearly, the direction of travel going toward an end to this. anchor: after the meeting, paul ryan had a press conference and we were watching that. what struck you, what did ryan say or maybe not say that struck you the most? reporter: yeah, of course, the big question that everybody had for him, all of this talk about unity and nice words about donald trump is fine, but will you actually endorse the man? he dodged the question. we will watch a quick clip. >> the process of unifying the republican party, which just finished a primary a week

donald trump needs paul ryan. l need paul ryan to shepherd through tax reform and entitlement reform if president trump pushes through those , paul. ryan will need him, too. economic growth that you started his segment with is absolutely right. donald trump is smart enough to know jobs and the economy are the number one issue for voters across the board. they are living this obama economy on the ground every day and have been for the last seven-plus years. donald trump understands and the rest of the gop establishment should get on board with this as well. if they are going to win in the fall they need the economic issue they hit every year. martha: the underlying theme is yes they would like paul ryan to be on board. but if he doesn't, they feel they are winners and they have been winning all along and paul ryan represents a guy who was not able to close the deal when he ran for vice president and they have the stronger position. >> i don't think donald trump has bench more conciliatory. you have comments from eri

if he is trying to get donald trump to kotow, paul ryan needs to do this. trump doesn't want the embarrassment of staying out his corner. donald trump could have swung back harder. that is the most subdued statements i have seen from him. i think we are getting some of it in public, but still worked out. >> the republican party leadership. banning muslims is not popular. not something paul ryan supports. alienating latino immigrants and hispanic. they have been working years to try to bring latinos into the tent with republicans. they think suffered a big setback here. listen to what paul ryan said he needs to see from donald trump. >> i want to see a verification our conservative principles will be champions and run on and represented. and will be brought to the public in the country in a way that is appealing for us to be successful. >> do you think donald trump -- a political mind for donald trump to have the discipline to turn himself into a different candidate and reflect the core conservative values? >> that's a big question. in terms of discipline, d

donald trump. i don't think in the week since paul ryan went on jake tapper's show and said he couldn't support donald trump has done anything to be worthy of paul ryan's endorsement now. in fact, we've seen him suggest that he's not going to release his tax returns, which paul ryan's own running mate in 2012, mitt romney, said was disqual y disqualifying in and of itself. if he comes around now and expresses any degree of support for donald trump, i think it's just a testament to how much pressure he's come under from party leaders. it won't paper over the fact that rank and file republicans and independents are very troubled by donald trump -- >> but at the very least republicans are making a show of unifying, which the democrats really aren't at the moment. >> we're still going through our primary so the field has been cleared for donald trump because, you know, the voters have spoken -- >> but the chance for bernie sanders appears dim, so isn't it time? >> at no point will we call for bernie sanders to drop out of the race. he said he will remain in it until the middle of june, until the contests

paul ryan's brand? you're asking about donald trump's brand. does this hurt paul ryan's brand, which is, look, it's been pretty squeaky clean for a long time now in many conservative circles. he's navigated a lot of issues. >> remember, he didn't want to be speaker but they loved him so much he had to be speaker. >> now, he didn't want to support donald trump, he's not ready to endorse, there are things that don't represent conservative principles like the muslim ban but now there are -- >> it is shark infested and there's blood in the water and that's a can stand we've seen over the past couple years. i think this is a very good step for paul ryan but also speaks to why he says that this is the beginning of the process. one of the concerns that a lot of republicans have is that they may get an agreement on pick your issue with trump, but then in an interview the next day he may come to a different position or a different position the day after. and it's that lack of consistency that i think on issues give a lot of republicans pause. >> here is

what ends up happening is you have irreconcilable differences between donald trump and paul ryan on fundamental issues, namely immigration. donald trump's muslim ban, trade, entitlements, even the minimum wage, craig. and these aren't small matters of process or the means to get to an end, they are fundamental disagreements on political philosophy. so we are seeing this split within the republican party and a week has now gone by where paul ryan said i don't think i can endorse donald trump just yet. at this meeting i think you'll see what they can actually agree upon, what they might not agree upon and then, of course, if paul ryan says, yes, donald trump, i've endorsed you, now let's get on to the general election. tomorrow is very important and what comes out of it is going to be even more important than what paul ryan says going forward here. >> let's listen in now. it seems as if the speaker is taking questions from reporters. >> a lot of republican senators and house members say by your decision to withhold your endorsement of donald trump actually makes it harder for the party to unite.

donald trump is going to keep to his position the best he can and give a little bit of that and the muslims ban. eventually, paul ryan will not only endorse donald trump and be the chair of convention. >> based on what you have presented, all is well now in republican land and we should count down the next few days. >> i am not saying that. i am saying they're all going to get together behind trump in the end. >> it sounds like they have no choice at this point. the speed of which is pointed out by reince priebus of the speed, kind of caught priebus off guard. they thought they had more time and it would be a competitive race with ted cruz. >> we are watching a show being played out here of horror of donald trump. in the end these are politics on the republican side. for the most part swallowed their differences and get behind them if for no other reasons than to protect the house. halie jackson is there. what's next and as far as what we are hearing from speaker ryan and donald trump of the meetings that are left. [ inaudible ] looks like we lost our connection with halie jackson. i think howard, are you still

he said, look, there's the leader of the republican party and he pointed to donald trump. it's not paul ryan, it's donald trump. >> who is it? >> i think it depends which vision you embrace. i don't think this is an argument that republicans want to be having right now. i think at some point -- i was speaking to someone who's a friend of paul ryan's, he believes eventually he'll get to yes, but that he wants to talk to trump about what it is they can agree on. and so reince priebus is probably going to set up a meeting, and they're going to see what they have in common. i think what you heard paul ryan say is we want our standard bearer to share our standards or something to that effect. paul ryan has come out and said that the temporary ban on muslims is wrong. you're going to see him talk to donald trump a little bit about the big ten republican party and see where they can agree. heading into the convention, this isn't a great thing for republicans. >> it is fascinating to say the least. >> gloria, will you stand by? i need you to help with the next conversation. the next two gentlem

donald trump. let's start with hallie jackson. she's been trailing paul ryan today. >> reporter: what a wild day on capitol hill. paul ryan coming out after that meeting with donald trump, first the early meeting with chairman reince priebus. ryan has been holdout now. ryan has held off on that. today, we heard him use the word encouraging again and again and talking about the positive steps that today brought as far as the relationship between himself and trump. but part of that, kate, it's not just the principles that ryan has talked about so much. it's also that personality aspect as the two men get to know each other. ryan has said he's only met trump maybe once or twice over the last couple years. he says 30 seconds in march was the most recent one. listen to what he had to say about today's meeting. >> i thought he was very good personality. he's a very warm and genuine person. like i said, i met him for like 30 seconds in 2012. so we really don't know each other. we started to get to know each other. i actually had a very pleasant exchange with him

paul ryan needs to be the leader right now. we are told donald trump is the presumptive nominee. is not the nominee until 1237. it's incumbent on paul ryan to help bring unity. john: mark, we are a party, too. they put out a statement, saying paul ryan and donald trump and the chairman will meet to smooth things over. more republicans have taken sides during the past 24 hours. dick cheney said he will support the party's nominee. while jeb bush wrote on facebook this afternoon, he will not vote for either trump or hillary clinton in november. let's come back to the core issue here. not just unite or divide. but the particular of donald trump versus paul ryan. who, do you reckon, is likely to blink first? mark: i think trump may blink first. i think reince pri ebus, they are making progress . paul metaphor to is working hard on that. he will appeal on the fundraising front. he will probably appeal to his friend, paul rn. paul ryan may endorse and be even more powerful. i think ryan is uncomfortable with trump, on many levels. and we will see how the meeting next week ghost. i'm no

but not a good pitch to independents and all of those that are talking about donald trump's temperament, but also look at paul ryan in terms of trying to create leverage with donald trump. if you listen to that press conference he's trying to talk about bringing trump over to the conservative side. we've already seen trump flip-flop on taxes. first he would raise them for the wealth and got a lot of pushback and now he's saying the wealthy would pay less. paul ryan is trying to maximize his policy leverage. >> you know, i just don't see how they are going to do it. take something like tpp, right. >> >> there will have to be a vote on that this year. they won't be able to weasel on that. >> that's the big trade deal with pacific countries. >> exactly. trump is like, listen, it's all about america first. he's going to these towns that love him. >> that's right. >> 90% of these blue collar white towns trump, trump, trump. they don't want trade deals and want everything in america. >> that's a progressive issue. >> this is not going to be something where they can sort of massage and figure it out. trump -- trump

and the trump versus cruz and kasich is over now, it is donald trump versus paul ryan. which republican or democrat will choose to be donald trump's losing running mate? >> i vote to support our nominee. i am not there right now. >> i am out. i am the only one left. >> he is calling for an independent candidate to run for president. >> many wants to see a standard bear that bears our standards. >> all of the living republican nominees, not a single one today is for donald trump. >> if it is donald trump at the top 10, this may be the race of my life. >> hispanics, i think i will do well with the hispanic vote. >> he should understand be commander-in-chief. >> i had a major event in russia the miss universe contest. >> donald trump is saying, it is mine now. >> look, it really is mine, look. >> he needs to do more to unify this party. >> i will never vote for a guy to ban someone because of a god they worship. >> we got work to do. >> this is the last word on campaign 2016. >> whenever republican politician says something for or against donald trump t always check how don

hillary clinton was met by protesters at a rally in los angeles and donald trump not getting the backing from one of the gop top leader. paulonald trump now. that led donald trump to call the chairman of the republican party this morning and find out why. furious, just what do i need to do. they are comfortable sitting down with donald trump and it may be at my office or somewhere else. we will have that meeting, start the process of unifying. morning, donald trump tweeted, paul ryan said i inherited something very special , the republican party, wrong, i did not inherit it, i want it with millions of voters. investigation into a deadly fire in new york, the problem that delayed firefighters on the scene. a massive wildfire still burning in alberta, canada, people already evacuated have to move again, how authorities are getting them out and how big the fire is now. plus your mother's day forecast, will the dreary weather move out by then -- that is next. an update on the breaking news come a shooting at jummy: back to the breaking news , a reported shooting at the westfield montgomery mall in bethesda on democracy boulevar

here's how donald trump talked about the news that paul ryan isn't ready to support him. s was donald trump yesterday in omaha, nebraska. here's what he had to say. >> paul ryan, i don't know what happened. i don't know. he called me two, three weeks ago, was a very nice conversation. he was congratulating me. this was before we had the ultimate victory. he was congratulating me in doing so well. i figured routinely he'd be behind it. and the other day just did a big surprise. >> fredericka, you could hear as soon as donald trump brought up the name paul ryan those boos that rained down in that auditorium, that aircraft hangar in omaha, nebraska. that gives you a sense as to how these republican crowds, these crowds at donald trump rallies are not exactly the same crowds that show up for members of the gop establishment. this is a different movement that donald trump is leading here now. we should point out, as a lot of folks know already, donald trump and paul ryan will be meeting on thursday in washington. trump will meet with the entire house republican caucus. i talked

it's donald trump's party. >> what would you like to have seen? >> i would have liked paul ryan to say i don't know that i can support donald trump and i'm going to stay out of the presidential race. >> what effect would that have had, governor brewer? >> bill, i respect you so much and i've been a supporter of yours for a long time, but we have a nominee and it's donald trump. and it's going to be a lot easier to get to your side of the issues and to compromise than to have hillary elected. i ask everybody what are you going to do? are you going to just stay out of the election or are you going to go and vote for hillary and have four more years of barack obama? it just simply doesn't make any sense. and as a former governor, bill, we know that we go in there with philosophical believes that we believe in, but everybody comes from all different areas and you never agree 100% on everything, and in the business world i think they call it, you know, doing a deal like donald calls it, doing a deal. in the legislative body, it is a compromise because you don't always get 100% b

donald trump doesn't need members of congress. donald trump doesn't need paul ryan. he's ran his campaign the way that he is as a person, as a man. that's what you're going to keep seeing. he's not going to change and there is no reason for donald trump to change his policy view to match people that were not elected by the majority of the american people throughout the entire country. >> there is so much to talk about today. i know you were inside of this meeting. i love your boxing analogy. what was inside talk going on there? >> well, paul ryan with the supporters meeting or the paul ryan/trump meeting? >> well, either one. you pick first. >> we had about eight of us together and talked to speaker ryan yesterday. said, hey, what's going on? frankly, we were confused. i was thinking paul ryan would have done a kind ceremonious endorsement of the republican nominee as opposed to what he did. i think it is a little bit of hubr hubris. i think that the republican message has been articulated by the speaker of the house, because we haven't had a republican nominee. so th

ryan needs donald trump or donald trump needs paul ryan? >> they need each other. nald trump has the support of about 40% of the party. and that really isn't going to be enough to win in a general election. whoever he faces whether that's hillary or bernie. he needs the rest of the party whether he wants to admit it or not and paul ryan needs to keep the house republican and knows that a disunified and ununified party is a problem not only for the white house but for those down ballot races in the house and the senate and they need each other. >> so, you know, s.e. pointed out, bill press, this cautious optimistic language. you have the hillary clinton camp jumping on with the twitter fingers today tweeting essentially a quote of donald trump saying, you know, we want to bring unity to the republican party and then hillary clinton's few words are good luck with that and embedded in the stweet a match-up of a video, right, of paul ryan and essentially stopping short of endorsing the party's presumptive nominee. i have to imagine the clinton camp is eating this up wi.

paul ryan said i don't know donald trump. don't think it's going to be today but let's say over the next couple of weeks as the dialog begins between the next president of the united states and the speaker of the house on the agenda that's going to move forward after this election come next january, today's really the beginning of a dialog. i don't think paul ryan is not the kind of individual that after a single meeting is going to say okay, now i understand everything i need to do, give me the flag, i'm going to go start running forward. >> but this isn't about what the game plan is for a trump presidency, it's not -- it sounds from speaker ryan, or at least i don't know if that's true or not. i'm saying from hearing what speaker ryan has said it was i don't know if i'm ready to get behind him as the nominee yet, so what came out in this meeting of what paul ryan wants to talk about at this meeting? >> it came -- what came out was a dialog, a continuing dialog, not a single meeting today, but the beginning of a dialog betwe

charles: donald trump and house speaker paul ryan completed a highly anticipated meeting. but here is the question. what does ryan want and what will donald trump give? could donald trump be softening his call for a temporary muslim ban? u.s. stocks all over the place. there is some serious problems. i'll talk about it. in particular the great uphill upheaval. nordstrom is getting slammed. speaker ryan earlier today declaring he will do whatever it takes to unite the party. >> i was very encouraged by way heard from donald trump today. i believe we are planting the seeds to get ourselves unified and bridge the grabs and differences. from here we'll go deeper into the policy areas to make sure we are operating off the same core principles. i think this is going in a positive direction and this is the first encouraging meeting. but in 45 minutes you don't litigate all the processes and principles we are talking about. charles: ryan and trump were optimistic after today's meeting to unify the party in a battle with hillary clinton. you heard him talk about the core principles.

why is it incumbent on donald trump to move toward paul ryan? why is it incumbent for him to move towards republican leaders? donald trump decided it isn't and that's where you're seeing him right now going into thursday, keeping a very hard stance on where he's been on policy, where he's been on tone. paul ryan should have to come to him, and guys where that basically leaves us a couple days away from this is no closer to any type of resolution. >> no closer to a kumbaya moment, no closer to any middle ground. put this all in context, the broader context of the week and where donald trump is right now. and a candidate that seems to be trying to transition to a general in tone but, but, dot, dot, dot, but not yet it seems. >> put yourself in donald trump's head space for a moment. he has done nothing but -- >> that is a challenge, to put yourself in donald trump's -- >> by observing what he's done. he has been speaking this very same message about vanquishing his republican opponents, about the support he's getting inside the party and about how

donald trump. and, i think for paul ryan to just basically rubber-stamp donald trump without questioning the substance of some of the things he's said and the tone. paul ryan has been talking about changing the tone. yes, alex, he's apologized for, you know, attacking poor people in the past. i don't know if that's a quote unquote the policies of the future. but at least paul ryan understands that donald trump has to change his tone before he embraces him. >> paul ryan is a member of the elites which matt spoke of. i think we're seeing the crack-up of the party. the elites didn't deliver for the base. they've been shafted over the years. we're also seeing, let's be honest. donald trump is like the republicans' frankenstein with orange hair. the republican party is reaping what it has sowed. there's all this nostalgia about ronald reagan. ronald reagan announced his candidacy in philadelphia, mississippi, where three civil rights workers were killed. we need an inclusive populism. not the scapegoating populism to speak to the real anxieties and fears and frustrations. but with hope, not demonization. a

donald trump and paul ryan trading jabs. donald trump's latest tweet is causing controversy. live. >>> more evacuations in canada as the massive wildfire grows with no signs of slowing down. and a firefighting plane slides off the runway. >>> the latest issue for the second largest transit system. a washington, d.c. metro station explosion after a train pull as way. >>> some fishermen got a surprise when they saw this circling their boat. a great white shark. more on how this ended coming up.

point in the future and trump accepted. >> john robert at the capital's statue hall. >>> will donald trump and paul ryan be able to work things out? and work together? correspondent peter doocy takes a look. >> the pillars of donald trump's platform have been so popular with primary voters he's now on track to receive more votes than any republican presidential candidate, ever. but those positions aren't such a hit with the most powerful republican in d.c. right now, speaker paul ryan. such as trump's plan to round up 11 million people here illegally and send them home. >> they're going to be deported. we have many illegals in the country. we have to get them out. >> ryan says he doesn't think kicking that many people out is good policy. >> we have to come up with a solution that doesn't involve mass deportations, that involves giving people the ability to get with the law, to come and earn a legal status while we fix the rest of legal immigration. >> one of his most controversial positions -- >> donald j. trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the united states unti

forward to debating donald trump in the fall. >> hillary clinton debuted her new message, i'm not donald trump. >> this is the last word on campaign 2016. >> and now donald trump is paul ryan's problem. no speaker of the house has had a problem like donald trump. speaker ryan has to figure out how to deal with the republican presidential nominee who demonstrated ignorance about how the government works. a candidate who seems to have no idea that cutting or raising taxes is up to congress which is to say the speaker of the house, not the president. a candidate who has no idea that the president cannot raise tariffs, only congress, and undisciplined, incoherent candidate caught lying to often every day that most of the news media has long ago given up any attempt to correct his lies. never mind express outrage over them. a candidate who has reversed himself several times on policy positions, usually within the same day. and who has now reversed himself on the essential character of his candidacy, the self-financing candidate. it was never true that donald trump was self-financing. he has collected millions in contributions throughout the campaign, but now he's going to

donald trump. house speaker paul ryan, in an interview a few minutes ago on cnn, saying that he cannot support donald trump yet. so susan, that's interesting, leaving open the possibility it is yet to come but he's not there yet. >> that is really interesting. and i haven't seen that interview. for paul ryan, the highest ranking republican in american politics, at the moment, to not embrace the man who is extremely likely to be the party's nominee, i think is a little surprising. maybe he's -- he's going to run the convention, be chairman of the convention in cleveland, maybe there's some calculation there until the -- until donald trump has majority of convention delegates, maybe he thinks he shouldn't nominate. paul ryan has been trying to present an alternative vision for what the republican party stands for. that gives republican candidates something else to cite besides donald trump's positions on issues when running for office, to say they're a paul ryan republican, even if they're uncomfortable saying they're a donald trump republican. >> susan, the term donald trump republican, i mean, that h

then with the meeting between paul ryan and donald trump, the current speaker paul ryan, the former speaker john boehner also making news with comments about donald trump. and we bring in now rory cooper, the managing director of purple strategies. a republican strategist and never trump activist. i want to stay on this john boehner one because john boehner made some interesting comments about donald trump yesterday in las vegas. he is going to be supporting donald trump. he explained a little bit why. let's play that. >> let me give you a few of donald trump's policies. and you tell me if you agree or disagree. temporarily ban muslims from the country? >> no. >> build a wall across with mexico? >> no. >> tear up a bunch of trade agreements and put 35% tariffs? >> no. >> this america first foreign policy that he articulated in his speech in washington a couple of weeks ago. >> not quite my style. but having said this -- >> why are you for him? >> the point is while i was for some other people, they didn't win. and donald trump is going to be the nominee. and we as a party have to figure out

donald trump's political director jumps ship just six weeks after joining the campaign. what's the nature of the turf war going on inside? >>> and paul ryan and donald trump, they've talked on the phone, but the house speaker still has not offered an endorsement, so what did they talk about then? any minute we're going to hear from speaker ryan himself. we'll bring it to you live. be right back. but i really love it. i'm on the move all day long... and sometimes, i just don't eat the way i should. so i drink boost® to get the nutrition that i'm missing. boost complete nutritional drink has 26 essential vitamins and minerals, including calcium and vitamin d to support strong bones and 10 grams of protein to help maintain muscle. all with a great taste. i don't plan on slowing down any time soon. stay strong. stay active with boost®.
