i do not think trump likes paul ryan, and i do not think paul ryan likes trump. paul ryan is honest. he has integrity. i do not agree with most of what he says, but he is a totally different politician than trump, and the wisconsin republican party got it together. they have an agenda. they are together. ryan, he is trying to save his party, and it is so factious and disillusioned. it has been eight years. instead of cooperating and compromising and making deals with obama, they just obstructed. need kickbacks. people will kill me for this, but we need kickbacks back. when we had kickbacks, at least we could get stuff done. getting my bridge done. host: one more call it we will go to john, joining us from ohio. john, good evening. you have got the last word.

they said we can't get a hold of paul ryan. he won't listen to us. y wanted to give him a letter. in that letter, it said, mr. ryan if you cared as much about our family also as you care about your special interest donors, our children might still be alive. you know, paul ryan came out of his house, hopped into an suv and was whisked away to a fund-raiser. i mean, you ought to be asking paul ryan that. i mean, i'm running a race and knocking on thousands of doors here in wisconsin, on behalf of wisconsin voters, on behalf of wisconsin jobs, on behalf of america's jobs. a vote for paul ryan is a vote for transpacific partnership -- >> we'd love to have paul ryan on the show, we have a whole bunch of questions. if and when he comes on "at this hour." mr. nealon, do you feel like donald trump is using you to get back at donald trump? do you feel like you're a pawn in a battle between donald trump, especially if he won't endorse you? he went out of his way to tweet you. did you think he's using you? >> no, when somebody holds the door open for you and you

when you take on paul ryan, you are not just taking on paul ryan. you are taking on the chamber of commerce. you are taking on the koch brothers. you are taking on wall street. you are taking on all of the transnational elites that will do everything to keep their speaker in congress. let's consider how others have done before us. since his reelection bid in 2000, paul ryan has never faced a real primary challenge. he has essentially run unopposed for nearly 20 years. historically, u.s. representatives from wisconsin are rarely ever challenged. one reporter observed that from 1950 through 2014, less than one in five wisconsin u.s. representatives faced a primary challenger. since 1950, only one wisconsin u.s. representative has ever lost his primary. but we took on the challenge because we knew that despite the odds, we could not continue to be quiet and sit down and watch as we were led by a man who does not normally look down upon our desires but actively fights against them at every turn. we know how the people of our district and state feel. we

paul ryan owns that. >> mr. nehlen, you're putting me in a position i have to defend paul ryan. you're talking about issues on the campaign trail. i'm talking about the national election and the national impact of this, okay? >> sure. >> so trump has been widely criticized for his remarks about the khan family. i want to move on now. do you agree with him or not? >> look, we lost a hero. mr. trump spoke to that. mr. trump is a big boy. if you want to ask him about his comments, you ask mr. trump. i am focused on jobs for wisconsin. i'm laser focused for jobs for wisconsin. enforcing existing immigration laws. i'm not going to get distracted by the national race, because i can't affect the national race. i can affect what guess on here. and that's what i'm talking to local voters about. >> you did say paul ryan's repeated betrayals of the gop office is beneath the dignity of the speaker's office. paul ryan has spent more time attacking trump than defending americans. so you are talking about this. you did put out a statement regarding this. how is this -- >> yeah, i did put out a

he's almost pushing paul ryan to unendorse.enior ryan officials tonight who kind of laughed at the idea that he would walk away from trump. ryan sees it as his obligation to stick behind trump. the interesting thing will be if republicans keep their majority, how the conservative people in the freedom caucus and other parts of the house republican conference kind of absorbed the loss. do they look to ryan and say you could have done more and been fully behind him. that will be the big storyline starting in october. just a couple of months away if the polls hold and donald trump loses. >> that's an interesting thing, let's talk about that a little bit more, there are right now about 250 republicans in the house. paul ryan is the speaker he's got their vote. he serves at their pleasure. what is he hearing behind the scenes, if you look at the 250 roughly republicans in the house, how would you break them down, how many of them are truly, even behind the scenes protrump and expecting their leadership to be behind trump, how many o

donald trump needs paul ryan at this point more than paul ryan needs donald trump. that's playing out over and over again. you saw ted cruz get booed out of the convention because politics is a team sport. people want to see these leaders work together. it isn't an individual sport where you do it on your own. donald trump is going to have to continue to work to bring the party together. yesterday was a good step he's endorsed republicans running for office as well as him on the same ticket. it's on his shoulders to bring the party together and bring his team together around him. and many of these folks, he needs them more than they need him and that's the case with speaker ryan. >> peter, are you in agreement with that with that it's donald trump that needs to endeer himself to the support? >> yes, partially agreement. politics is a team sport by donald trump is not a team player. this dance with trump is becoming silly. it was silly a while ago, this effort for him to reach out and pretend he's a normal pal tigs and normal pepper. pretend there's unity. he gave a

manu, tell us what happened. >> reporter: well, looks like that paul ryan will be the victor of this y against paul neland who's a political novice, someone who really was seen as a major underdog here. if he had won this race, it would be one of the biggest upsets of the century, maybe even the past two centuries. this race got into the national spotlight last week when donald trump said that he was not going to endorse paul ryan initially. and, of course, a few days later turned around and said actually he was going to endorse paul ryan. that didn't amount to much it appears like in this race. one reason why, in the april presidential primary, ted cruz took this district and won it pretty overwhelmingly. this is not necessarily donald trump country. when donald trump actually starts to compete here in wisconsin, expect him to spend a lot of time in southern wisconsin. that's where actually mike pence is going to be later this week as well. but paul ryan and his campaign sort of viewed that flap back and forth with donald trump as nothing more than a distraction. paul nailen was neve

one-up paul ryan. this is the problem with donald trump. he always does something to put himself on the front pages and then gripes the fact the media is not covering hillary clinton. i think the media would cover hillary clinton more if donald trump spent less time trying to be on the front pages of newspaper and the lead story in many of the news stories that come out even on cnn or anyplace else. >> right before the endorsement, he quoted your father. let's listen to this. >> i understand an embrace the wisdom of ronald reagan's big tent within the party, big, big tent. remember, ronald reagan. great man. brave guy. remember he included reagan democrats and independents and republicans, lot of people. we're going to have the same thing. there are a lot of democrats perhaps in this room. are there a lot of democrats in this room? raise your hands. eh. i mean, i don't think we need too many, to be honest with you. so i embrace the wisdom that my 80% friend is not my 20% enemy. ronald reagan. stated by

interview with "the washington post" donald trump was asked whether or not he was ready to support paul ryan. he says i like paul, but these are horrible times for our country and we need very strong leadership. i'm just not quite there yet. it is element word for word. he told jake tapper in may that he was not ready to endorse donald trump. and it flared up that and indirectly took issue with donald trump's issues saying that muslim americans serve this issue. it was at this event where donald trump tweeted that he appreciates the kind words coming from paul neeland. so one week before the primary, he seems he is throwing his support behind the channeler to paul ryan. >> that primary as you say, one week from today, next tuesday, and out of the blue, donald trump is suggesting maybe he will not meet with him. >> that was a big win. he said very good things about mike pence, it seems the controversy is not over. he went after republicans as well. john mccain, back in 2008, he didn't mince many words, he is faces a tough reelection himself. >> this controversy seems to have brought this to w

paul ryan is a realist.really important if he wants to preserve the house majority that trump either win or not lose by very much. if trump loses by ten points, the house probably goes to the democrats. he's got a self-interest in working with trump. i think the other issue is that with the spotlight on paul ryan, i think he's now safe and he clearly is going to be, if trump were to lose, he's going to be either the single most or one of the three or four most important republicans in the country to put the party back together. i think this gives him a safe base from which to do that. >> 85/15, i'm hearing. 85/15. pretty good win. you would take that. but it does, does it empower paul ryan going forward to say look, there was this issue, paul nehlen, the guy who ran against me, was supportive of donald trump, tried to run under the trump banner and i just crushed him? >> well, i never had an 85/15 win so i know he's a happy man right now but i don't think he's going to be the type of person that's going to h

paul ryan has no business whipping the votes for that transpacific partnership. t. >> he wants that because his donors want that. >> paul nehlen, good luck to you. >> thank you. >> thanks so much. >>> we'll have much more straight ahead. your dentures seem to fit fine when you first put them on. but, during the day, they can move! in the morning... noon... evening... enough is enough! it's time to use fixodent plus adhesives. with just one application... ...they give you superior hold, even at the end of the day. so you can keep enjoying your evenings. fixodent. strong more like natural teeth. fixodent and forget it. so guys with ed can... take viagra when they need it. ask your doctor if your heart is healthy enough for sex. do not take viagra if you take nitrates for chest pain or adempas® for pulmonary hypertension. your blood pressure could drop to an unsafe level. to avoid long-term injury, seek immediate medical help for an erection lasting more than four hours. stop taking viagra and call your doctor right away if you experience a sudden decrease or loss in

when you take on paul ryan, you are not just taking on paul ryan. you are taking on the chamber of commerce. you are taking on the koch brothers. you are taking on wall street. you are taking on all of the transnational elites that will do everything to keep their speaker in congress. let's consider how others have fared before us. since his reelection bid in 2000, paul ryan has never faced a real primary challenge. he has essentially run unopposed for nearly 20 years. historically, u.s. representatives from wisconsin are rarely ever challenged. one reporter observed that from since 1950, only one wisconsin u.s. representative has ever lost his primary. but we took on the challenge because we knew that despite the odds, we could not continue to be quiet and sit down and watch as we were led by a man who does not normally look down upon our desires but actively fights against them at every turn. we know how the people of our district and state feel. we have seen the polls. we know that seven out of 10 republicans in wisconsin favor a pause in muslim

when you think about paul ryan versus paul nealon, paul nealon is trailing by more than 50 points. so just for everyone watching tonight, you think, well, maybe this is a close race. maybe the trump endorsement is going to swing this for paul ryan. in fact, nealon is not even close. this was a finger in the eye from donald trump to paul ryan even the language he used, i'm just not there yet, is mocking language because it was the same language ryan used when he said he was not ready to endorse trump. this is donald trump versus the republican establishment saying like eric cantor who lost in virginia, like john boehner who was forced out, maybe paul ryan, it's time for you to be forced out and i have the power as the party nominee, but apparently, given all the other troubles that are afflicting donald trump at the moment, he got the message from his campaign, hey, this is not good. we're losing republican support behind your behavior. >> lisa, do you think this has to do with donald trump seeing his poll ratings slipping? there was another poll released this afternoon, it showed i

gave him a tough time. >> understand following endorsing paul ryan may be smartest thing donald take a team effort to win wisconsin. wisconsin. >> do you believe an endorsement right now will get ryan and although g.o.p. cruz guys to get onboard. make it work? >> it has not been working for trump before. when you are out of cards issue try something different, with 78% of republicans behind you, if you can get others like walker, ryan and johnson behind you, they will peak to people that are not interested in you. >> today paul ryan repeated what he said yesterday, his endorsement is not a blank check, almost sounding like a check, he could revoke it. >> i mean he has turned into a power broker in this electioning when he said i'm not there yet, that was a real shock, he did endorse, now it is not -- not a blank check. it really is up to paul ryan, i think, even more so than donald trump to unite the party, a lot of traditional conservatives, many in wisconsin look to paul ryan for that leadership. he has the long-term vision of the party. charles: it is not his party, it is dona

. >> coming up, the candidate who's challenging paul ryan and backing trump, paul neilan. and trump's disastrous week has supercharged hillary clinton's pos post-come vengs bu post-convention pump in the polls. >> so far as i know it had nothing to do with any kind of hostage swap or any other tit for tat, it was something that was intended to, as i'm told, pay back iran for contracts that were canceled when the shah fell. >>> good day, i'm andrea mitchell in washington. after a week of bad headlines, is the donald trump campaign in healthdown. several high-level republican sources tell nbc news they are pushing for an "intervention" to try to get the campaign back on track before it's too late but trump says things have never been better. >> it's never been so well united. we started on june 16 i would say right now it's the best in temples of being united that it's been since we began. >> a new setback for trump today. new polling showing a significant hillary clinton post-convention bump. a new fox news poll giving clinton a 10-point edge over trump nationally and she's

>> reporter: with paul ryan and the fact that mike expense endorsing paul ryan and donald trump isn't? >> yes. yes. yes. >> you know what? put this in the long, long list of things that are very unusual in the 2016 race. just add that to the list. i do think it is actually more simple than maybe at first blush two appear. and that is, mike pence is genuinely a good friend of paul ryan. they served together in the house of representatives. they have been friends for 15 years or so. paul ryan said nice things about mike pence as soon as pence's name was even floated as trump's running mate. so it is not a surprise that pence would take a stand in even a republican fight next week. certainly you have paul ryan tearing donald trump's convention and kind of going through the motions. but paul ryan also, you know, ticked donald trump off in not endorsing him right away, and more recently, in issuing a very strongly worded statement about the way donald trump handled the khans. i think if you read the transcript of phil rucker, "the washington post's" excellent interview with donald trump, i

you know, if he really wants to help paul ryan, he ought to move to wisconsin where paul ryan is in aor his primary congressional seat. i think really it's about time for doug and others to put on their big boy pants and support hillary clinton and to look at her through a different lens because honestly, she is more prepared than really anybody in a generation to lead this nation and when one looks at her and contrast to donald trump who is unraveling and in the process unraveling the republican party, there's no contest. >> doug, throwing away your vote? >> i'm never going to say anybody is throwing away a vote. my vote isn't a vote i make at the ballot box and it's a vote i make, and -- >> your candidate is not going to win. >> yeah. that certainly looks to be the case. i understand that. there's also libertarian candidate who will be on cnn tonight so it's not merely a binary choice. i reject that argument, as well, but i'm not going to be critical of doug for how he votes. if this is important to him that's how he should vote and i have a larger concern and it emphasizes how ther

he likes paul ryan. paul ryan is a good guy. guy. >> reporter: the change in course follows days of panic inside the gop over trump's tanking poll numbers and concerns he could go serious damage to candidates down ballot. top republicans were furious that trump appeared to be playing games and double crossing ryan who already endorsed him. the speaker was barely containing his own feelings. >> heck if i know. i'm not going to try to psyc psychoanalyze this stuff. i'm not going to get involved in some petty back and forth. i see no purpose in doing that. i'm going to be me and do my thing. >> reporter: trump has also walked back his claim he seen video of that u.s. shipment of $400 million to iran that happened around the time american hostages were freed from tehran even after his own staff was telling news outlets that trump was mistaken, he was repeating the claim. >> it's interesting because a tape was made. you saw that with the airplane coming in. nice plane. the airplane coming in and the money coming offer, i guess, right

he encouraged me to endorse paul ryan is and i'm pleased to do it. >> joining us is paul ryan's challenger. appreciate you being with us. >> thanks for having me on. >> donald trump has not officially endorsed you. he did say you've been running a good campaign. we heard pence pence endorsing paul ryan saying trump encouraged him to make that endorsement. you said you have had no contact with the trump campaign lately. what's your reaction to all this? >> i'm not surprised in the least. wouldn't you expect somebody who has got a lo good friend to endorse their friend. i don't chalk that up to anything other than these guys having a friendship. >> mike pence you mean? >> i have a ton of respect for mike pence. i went to see him the other day. and for the trump campaign and i think kudos to mr. trump for saying, hey, i respect the fact you have a long-time friendship with paul ryan. of course, i disagree with who he selected to endorse. he's all in for the transpacific partnership, which is going to sell our jobs overseas. paul ryan is the mercenary champion for a very bad trade deal. but he

. >> paul ryan. good. he's a good man. he's a good man and he's a good guy. and we may disagree on a couple of things and mostly we agree and we'll get it done and we'll do a lot of wonderful things. he's a good man and while i'm at it, i hold in the highe esest em john mccain for his service to our country in uniform and in public office and i fully support and endorse his reelection. very important. we'll work together. . i fully support and endorse senator kelly ayotte of new hampshire. a state i truly love, primarily because that was my first vuktrvukt victory, but i love new hampshire. i love new hampshire. she is a rising star and will continue to represent the great people of new hampshire so very well for a long, long time. senator kelly ayotte. working hand in hand, we will grow our majority in the house and in the senate. we need that. we've got to get things done. arm in arm, we will rescue the nation from the obama-clinton disaster which is exactly what it is. that has bled our country dr

, but his challenger is trying to use this nonendorsement against paul ryan. but ryan was pretty critical of trump, particularly on trump's comments, criticizing the khan family, of course the gold star family that lost their son in iraq, family of muslim faith. he said it was beyond the pale, ryan said it was beyond the pale that trump would criticize that family, particularly when he questioned why the mother of the khan family did not speak at the democratic convention. he said it was beyond the pale, so he explained why he made -- he was critical of that. one reason why ryan said he continued to criticize trump is because he said he needs to defend the republican brand and that's why he will speak out from time to time when he believes, in his words, that the republican brand is being, quote, distorted. that was some comments that ryan has been making for months but he made that very clear here as well. and one other thing, guys, that he also said that, you know, he will -- he would not rule out revoking his endorsement of donald trump. he was asked was the

he is good friends with paul ryan. he even ran paul ryan's -- excuse me.e chaired his first congressional race. it was described to me, paul ryan is like family. so he is taking this personally. he has made that clear to people insidehe trump campaign. and you know, as sources described to me, reince priebus feels like he has taken on a lot of water to be there for donald trump. even as a lot of people within the republican party were not so sure this is the right thing to do. reince priebus has said look, he was elected by the vast majority of republican voters, and now he just feels like donald trump, it is a personal front to him, that trump has not decided to endorse paul ryan. again, because for reince priebus, it is not just as a party chair. it is personal. >> so there are all sorts of rumors out there, dana. one rumor that we keep hearing is donald trump may drop out of the race. is that true? >> well, we have no reporting to suggest that's true. what i can tell you, carol, there is a lot of speculation as to what donald trump is trying to do, if a

speaking to the washington post he declined to endorse gop candidate john mccain or paul ryan who has criticized him saying, quote, i like paul, but these are horrible times for our country and we need very strong leadership and we need very, very strong leadership and i'm just not quite there. if that wording sounds familiar to you, you're right. speaker ryan once said the same about donald trump. >> i'm just not ready to do that at this point. i'm not there right now. >> paul ryan spokesman this evening said the speaker has never sought trump's endorsement. as for senator mccain whom he mocked you'll recall for being taken prisoner by the north vietnamese trump said he hasn't been good enough for veterans. there is a lot to impact. joining us, phillip rutger who wrote for "the washington post. " a lot of focus on the words he used for paul ryan. i'm not quite there yet, obviously very similar to what ryan said about trump in may. did trump give you any indication when he would be making up his mind or if he would? it's hard not to see this as anything other than a warning shot on ry

let's listen to that. >> paul ryan is the head of the snake. epresents everything that's wrong with washington and politics and the media. never before in our history as a representative been so out of touch with the people. >> ryan has about 84% favorability among republicans and independents while only 49% approve of trump. he's doing better than that. paul nehlen joins me now. thanks for joining us tonight. make your pitch right now to the people in that district to vote for you rather than ryan. >> well, the people in our district know that paul ryan doesn't know what he's talking about when it comes to trade. and mr. trump's endorsement of him was not an endorsement of mr. ryan's trade policies or his immigration policies. mr. trump read from a piece of paper and endorsed mr. ryan's position. he endorsed the speaker's chair. and i think that was smart. i think that's the mark of a good leader, a strong leader. he was not endorsing paul ryan's policies. >> let's talk about the policy difference. where are you on immigration? if you could wri

pu paul ryan, trump told you that i'm not quite there yet. paul ryan did not seek his endorsement. does it matter? >> it matters in so far as this is a a typical step. it's what the party leader does. donald trump is now the leader of the republican party. he's the nominee for president. paul ryan is his party's top elected official, the speaker of the house. it's pretty extraordinary that trump is not willing to endorse paul ryan in his primary and i think the reason it's such big news right now is it speaks to the terrible discord and disy disunity within the republican party at the moment. these leaders cannot seem to get on the same page and here we are two weeks after the convention in cleveland that was designed and choreographed to showcase party unity and we're just given a fresh reminder that trump is not an agent of the party. he's his own man. he may be the nominee, but trump going to do what he wants to do. >> but for donald trump to stay on message and for republicans that are worried about him and certainly ones that are critical of him, what was the biggest standout

two things for paul ryan to worry about. this trump/ryan war, i want to bring in chris cillizza, founder of the fix blog. donald trump couldn't resist yesterday. paul ryan critical of him, and he basically seemed to deliver the message. if you can say that about me, i can do something right back to you. >> it's fascinating. i read through the transcript. this san interview my colleague did with trump. there's two things that stand out. one, trump is basically talking directly to paul ryan and saying, well, you know, the other guy has been saying nice things about me. i'm sort of on the fence. i wonder what you could do. like this is very much a sort of threatening without saying a word i'm going to get you. but you don't want me to be on the side of your primary opponent. they go off in another tangent after he talks about paul ryan. he comes back and says do you want me to answer that paul ryan question, which he's already done and he re-emphasizes the, i don't know. i'm just not there yet. phil rucker my colleague says, why

he's going to be sort of in paul ryan's backyard. would point out in donald trump somewhat wading into the ryan primary race taking place next tuesday is that that's kind of a tougher area this way. in the wisconsin primary that took place earlier this year, donald trump got beat in paul ryan's congressional district by ted cruz and paul ryan is exceptionally popular there, especially with republicans. and donald trump very much more mixed reviews in polling within paul ryan's congressional district, even from republicans. i'm not sure how much influence donald trump is going to have on paul ryan's home turf as much as he's trying to engage there. >> we'll see what kind of reception he gets there. already big crowds in florida. may or may not be the same in wisconsin tomorrow. thank you, carrie. >>> nbc's pete williams has more news on the north carolina man arrested this morning and charged with supporting isis. >>> plus, the u.s. women's soccer team starts off strong in the olympic games, crushing new zealand last night. men's socc

trump later endorsed paul ryan and paul ryan won handedly. one reason why he won handedly, donald trump is not popular in this division. but ted cruz won overwhelmingly in the april primary. that's one reason why paul ryan is not afraid to criticize donald trump. i asked paul ryan at his press conference after the primary, what he thinks about donald trump comments about second amendment enthusiasts possibly taking matters into their own hands, and this is what he had to say. >> i heard about the sec amendment quote. it sounds like a joke gone bad. i hope he clears it up. >> reporter: today showcases the strength, the party establishment over the tea party insurcgents seeing it happen rae after race. and tim feels kamp last week. and the senate majority leader defeated the candidate. he did not want to run in that race as well. showed that the party leadership knows how to win on the congressional level. but when it comes to the presidential level, that's a whole different problem, ryan and alison. >> hillary clinton is ready to give a big sp

lou: donald trump however has praised my next guest, ryan's opponent in the primary. thanks to paulhlen for his kind words very much appreciated appreciated and joining me the businessman who is challenging speaker ryan, paul nehlen. paul is good to have you on the broadcast again. let's talk about that ad, the part about the ones to secure the border. was that a news bulletin for you? >> yeah that could be -- couldn't be further from the truth. paul ryan has failed to fund our double layer several hundred mile fence. he's done the exact opposite. he is funded sanctuary cities and brought in tons of cheap labor that hurts those at the lowest rung of the ladder in our country and honestly speaker ryan is terrible with the border lou: let me ask you paul, national security is a major concern for the public and what do you plan to do differently if you are elected than what paul ryan has done in the eight months that eight months of he has been speaker? >> yeah while i definitely believe in enforcing immigration laws. think we do need a wall and a lot of other places that can be handle

let's listen to that. >> paul ryan is the head of the snake. represents everything that's wrong with washington and politics and the media. never before in our history as a representative been so out of touch with the people. >> ryan has about 84% favorability among republicans and independents while only 49% approve of trump. he's doing better than that. paul nehlen joins me now. thanks for joining us tonight. make your pitch right now to the people in that district to vote for you rather than ryan. >> well, the people in our district know that paul ryan doesn't know what he's talking about when it comes to trade. and mr. trump's endorsement of him was not an endorsement of mr. ryan's trade policies or his immigration policies. mr. trump read from a piece of paper and endorsed mr. ryan's position. he endorsed the speaker's chair. and i think that was smart. i think that's the mark of a good leader, a strong leader. he was not endorsing paul ryan's policies. >> let's talk about the policy difference. where are you on immigration? if you could w

trump by endorsing paul ryan it has primary fight. donald trump said in an interview, "he is just not quite there when it comes to backing ryan who has been critical of trump." commutingobama is sentences. almost all were serving time for nonviolent drug offenses. most will be released december 1. michael phelps, the most decorated athlete and olympic history will carry the american flag for the opening ceremonies in rio.

we want paul ryan out and we are glad trump is not endorsing him. we are behind trump's decision not to endorse him. he should endorse paul nielan. i want him to say not only do i not endorse him, but i am backing him. >> what are his chances? they say ryan is in trouble. >> 30 to 40%. >> who is we that you talk about? are you part of a coalition i am not aware of? >> right now i am. i love the hell out of the guy and we are going out after the show to have drinks. >> be careful. >> you always want to say we to build a rapport. i am not a talking head. >> we are drinking copious amounts of booze. >> we like trump. we support trump. >> isn't the difference between -- trump said basically the same thing paul ryan said about him. the difference is that donald trump has a movement behind him. donald trump has got more votes than any republican candidate of all time. paul ryan is a guy they chose to be the failed vp for mitt romney and lost a debate to joe biden. go away. nobody cares what you think. he is not even the rightful speaker. he skipped a few p

paul ryan is up 66 points over his primary challenger in his district. so when trump said he was not quite there yet, quite a dis to ryan. well, that means you don't want to win paul ryan's district in wisconsin. if you want to win wisconsin, you would have to win that district. i think it actually probably at this point trump is trying to help himself more than ryan. ryan doesn't need his help in his district. >> david points out that donald trump he used the same words. didn't he use the same words, i'm not quite there, which is what paul ryan said about endorsing trump. is this some unity? >> i took it as mocking paul ryan. i thought he was playing games. i'm the nominee, paul ryan is like a puppet on the string. you're the establishment guy, i will eric cantor you. remember what happened to him in virginia and remember what happened to john boehner. if you don't play along with the revolution from the grass roots of the gop you will be out. guess what? you know, i think this is so clear now. that paul ryan didn't back down. paul ryan didn't take away

that was paul ryan where he defeated his opponent who was on here last night in the state's first congressional with the majority of the votes in ryan lead by more than 60%. it is 84 to something like 16. trump endorsed ryan days later. he endorsed when it mattered. tonight nehlen delivered listen to this. >> we have lit the spark of a raging fire of rye shous populism that will lift up this nation. it will put the hopes and fears an aspirations of american citizens first before any consideration. as a result of our campaign people know where ryan stands. the mask has been pulled off. the sher raid is over. the con is up. >> i'm joined by kelly kelly o'donnell. >> i'm glad you there. this is a big night for paul ryan. he has a couple of johns that go between now and election day. he had to win his own primary. he needs to hold onto his seat. it should not be in question based on his electoral history here. another job, he will be in a dozen states trying to hang onto the house majority and the next job of course is to try to be supportive of the republican nominee. i and a couple of my colleagu

strikingly similar to something we heard from paul ryan back in early may, that paul ryan wasn't there yet in endorsing donald trump. you think donald trump remembers that phrase? i have a feeling he probably does. >> i think so. >> weeks later, about a month later he did publicly give trump his backing in what was a significant moment and a significant day in the campaign. we were there when it happened. but when you talk about this idea of how this unfolded, you've got to look at that history and that context between these two candidates. ryan's office does say that he never asked for the endorsement. let me give you some background as to why. paul ryan, at least up until this point has been expected to win this race fairly hand idly. he's fairly well liked in wisconsin, expected to defeat his opponent. we will see if the trump situation has impact on the race. but right now not a lot of indication that it will. >> hallie jackson, great to have you on your phone. we will continue our reporting as it is crazy town almost every day. hallie, thanks. i want to bring in rick tyler. i have

not paul ryan's party. was not ready to endorse donald trump and donald trump shot back that he was not ready to endorse paul ryan possible agenda. i talked to the campaign manager and he told me this is not paul ryan's party. he's the leader of the republican party and that is how donald trump has been operating since day one. the fact he has won the primary he feels is a mandate in what is leading this party forward, not necessarily the leadership in washington. when you talk to the republican voters and they decided donald trump was going to be there flag carrier, they did not like what was going on in washington. he did not believe the people they voted into plow -- into power were doing a good job thomas o donald trump does have that on his side. he did get a morality of the republican party to get this nomination, but he's going to have to find independent voters. do independent voters find it appealing if he's fighting with everybody? about trump plus comments on mccain and you said briefly and we wi

encouraged me to endorse paul ryan.d i'm prileased to do it. >> trump will be holding a town hall event in florida more than an hour from now. we're watching from for tim kaine who's holding a rally in greensboro, north carolina. we are live in daytona beach, jacob, how are trump supporters reacting to these reports about the campaign that seems to be going off the rails? >> so we expect him on stage about 3:00 and as you might imagine, a lot of the trump support ers we've talked to are still sticking by him, they do agree that they wish he would get back to the issues. i'm joined now be carol and larry and gus, trump supporters, you were telling me earlier that you appreciate how trump is a counterpuncher, tough in your words and as your shirt says, but, perhaps he needs to stay focussed now on the issues. >> yes. i believe he does. look straight ahead with tunnel vision. stop being pulled aside by the democratic ways of pulling him aside in order to make him look bad. i think that's an important thing. and besides, le

and that is a reference to paul ryans two year term in congress. it sounds like this may not be the only time nehlen challenges ryan in a republican primary ... and it will not the last time he will attempt to have his voice heard. when i spoke with him one on one tonight ... he said 'this is war' and he has a great organization in place. "the message to paul ryan is we are dissatisfied with his representation of us. that representing corporations is not representing people on behalf of wisconsins first district." nehlen says he will continue pressuring ryan to make better trade deals ... he already believes he has made an impact on ryan in that area. he says he is very proud of this campaign. reporting live in janesville. jenna sachs. fox 6 news. ted thanks jenna state rep mandela barnes challenged fellow democrat state senator lena taylor for her seat-- and lost. take a look at th taylor is winning by xx with xx percent of precincts reporting. let's check in with the campaigns now. our krystle kacner is in glendale with mandela barnes-- but let's
