scott walker got a lack did in 2010 and clinton plays the reforms come a very divisive issue in this state of wisconsin, but it's paid a lot of dividends. one study that just came out in march -- late february showed that the state and local governments have saved about $5 billion over five years. so we were able to stay away from laos. they were able to use money wisely. that's the type of message republicans are talking about. usually when they talk about trimming government and trimming regulations and making things work more efficiently. so there's an opening for the republican message that scott walker and the wisconsin republicans have opened up. that's electoral college votes. that is better than colorado. certainly better than new hampshire. the electoral college votes usually considered a pretty key state for both parties to win because it says something about the breach of their national message. if republicans could take wisconsin and put it into their column and really think it's feasible to do that, that really resent the whole midwest belt for republican in a way that w

>> they hadn't won except the two landslide elections and it stays pretty blue scott walker was elected in 2010 and is the very divisive issue to pay a lot of dividends and wan study that just comes out to save $5 billion over five years. and they could use money wisely that is the message of their talking about has opened up. that is better than san colorado for the electoral college votes that is considered hard for both parties to win but if republicans could take wisconsin out there really do think it's feasible to do that that resets the whole midwest and rust belt and winning wisconsin would show a drop that entire region would be very difficult. >> what is your day job? >> senior editor i do twice a week podcast on politics and culture. >> has any candidates done when you are suggesting here? >> if you take a look at the primaries so far i think ted cruz does a very good job of a specially but also a texas with his home state and oklahoma we're hearing a lot of things about his organization that tend to make me think he is on the right track with the exception of i was ted is pur

make they have not one wisconsin except landslide victories but normally the state is blue but scott walker was elected 2010 input for a very divisive issue but it has paid a lot of dividends and one study just came out in march that showed the state and local governments paid $5 million over five years so they could stay away from layoffs to use the money wisely that is what republicans are talking about when they say trim government and regulation to make things work more efficiently so there is the message there for the wisconsin republicans to open up an electoral college votes better then colorado or new hampshire that is the key state for both parties because it says something about the reach of the national message if they take wisconsin out bin that resets bill whole rust belt show that strength that would be very difficult for a democrat to counter. >> what is your day job? >> times senior editor a duke twice a week podcast on politics and culture in also write columns for the fiscal times. >> in this election season have any of the candidates done what you have suggested ? >> look

scott walker and the wisconsin republicans have opened a period that is 10 electoral college votes.that is better than colorado. that's certainly better than new hampshire. the electoral college vote is usually can edit a keith vote for parties to win because it says something about the reach of their national message. if republicans pick wisconsin out of the democrats and put it into their policy, they really think it's feasible to do that. that really resets the whole midwest rust belt for republicans than one in wisconsin would show that kind is trained throughout the entire region. that would be difficult for democrats to counter. postcode at morrissey, what is your day job? >> and senior editor at hot air.com. i do it twice a week podcast and also by columns for the fiscal times for the week. >> host: in this election season, have any of the candidates on what you are suggesting here and going red? >> guest: if you take a look at the primary races so far, ted cruz has actually done a very good job of getting on the ground in iowa especially. apparently in oklahoma as well here

scott walker got elected in 2010 and put in place the act x reforms. it's paid a lot of dividends.in fact, one study that just came out in march -- excuse me, late february, showed that the state and local governments have saved about $5 billion over five years thanks to the act x reforms. so they were a able to stay away from layoffs, they were able to use money wisely. that's the type of message, of course, that republicans are talking about usually when they're talking about trimming government and trimming regulations and making things work more efficiently. so there's an opening there for the republican message that scott walker and the wisconsin republicans have opened up. that's ten electoral college votes. so that's better than colorado, certainly better than new hampshire. new hampshire's four electoral college votes, usually a pretty key state for both parties to win because it says something about the reach of their national message. wisconsin, if republicans could take wisconsin and put it into their column -- and i really do think it's feasible to do that -- then that

i think scott walker was the exception that proved the rule.hat mattered a lot because scott walker is currently the governor, he's very popular in wisconsin. wisconsin has had this intense partisan politics where republicans are united against democrat democrats. here in california people are just going to go vote for the candidate that they feel speaks to them. >> does carly fiorina work there instead of an endorsement? >> i don't think so. i think people in this election are fed up with insiders telling them what to do. they're keeping their own counsel. if endorsements were the thing that really mattered, trump would not be winning. >>> next, donald trump's one line of attack that could help unify the republican party. ♪ if you have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis isn't it time to let the real you shine through? introducing otezla, apremilast. otezla is not an injection, or a cream. it's a pill that treats plaque psoriasis differently. some people who took otezla saw 75% clearer skin after 4 months. and otezla prescribing information ha

welcome to the "halftime report," i'm scott walker. amazon's shareholder meeting, ceo, jeff besos, expected to take the stage any moment there. josh lipton is there to start us off today, josh? >> reporter: scott, call it trump versus besos round two. maybe that's what we'll see here in seattle. listen, we know the real estate mogul and amazon ceo have been publicly brawling. trump accusing amazon of antitrust violations without getting into specific, and "washington post" ran an article saying trump posed as a publicist to generate stories, a claim trump denies. bezos would offer trump a ride to space. would he field any questions at the meeting about trump? we'll wait for that. the brawl has not worried investors yet. look at amazon stock, outperforming the market this year, and still up more than 60% over the past 12 months. adding to the drama today, though, ultra violet, a group fighting sexism, lhas a petitio to ask amazon to stop selling trump's line of men's waear. why is amazon continuing to support the trump empire, and now, u

scott walker who has been through the kind of fight. remember, if trump wins and trump actually tries to change washington, it's going to be just like madison, wisconsin. you are going to have left wingers in the streets. you're going to have daily demonstrations. so, walker has some back growngsd that could be very, very exciting. ' rick snyder in michigan. a very attractive governor, got right-to-work passed in michigan. has been a very good reformer. so i can look around and see six to eight, nine different people they can look at who would be very good part of a trump ticket. remember, you have no idea what trump's range is. he could decide to pick a retired four star general. he could pick a lot of different people you and i wouldn't think of. because he is so unique that he is not bound by the normal conventions. >> mr. speaker, thanks for being with us. peter johnson jr. geraldo, thanks to you guys. we will get back also to tucker carl son. and coming up, senator cruz did drop out of the race: governor bobby jindal are all to wei

we've seen scott walker. we've seen marco rubio go on and on and on about his lack of specificity. so this really goes down to the personality, as opposed to the policy. and the only thing we know about him now is the personality. >> howard, what do you think about this? "the new york times" says, president trump, here's how he says it would look the first 100 days. by the end of the first 100 days, the wall with mexico would be designed, immigration ban on muslims would be in place, the audit of the federal reserve would be underway, and plans to repeal the affordable care act would be in motion. he also then has already reversed his stance on minimum wage and perhaps more things to come. how does hillary clinton's campaign, if bernie sanders does not get the nomination and becomes an ally, how do they then seize some of these ideas that trump has not backed away from? >> well, i think donald trump really started the war in his interview with lester holt, tameron. because he didn't back away from his ban on foreign muslims entering the country. he did not back away from deporting

scott walker, jeb bush, marco rubio guys aren't sure how to get their heads around the new nom know know a bunch of people who had citizens, former xwoeldman guy, pushing donald trump as somebody who understands their business and understands them ideologically but the question remains the same. they have a ton of work to do to catch up with hillary clinton. one person who i talked to who met with steve manusch said he has a lot on his plate, no real experience. hillary clinton is basically in mid season form preparing for a playoff run. donald trump his team is basically just pulling up their equipment trucks to the spring training facility, the players have not arrived yet. no shortage of work to do on the fund-raising side. >> thank you so much. this thank is all for "inside politics." thank you for sharing your sunday morning. see you soon. next "state of the union" with jake tapper. jay knows how to keep nice shorts, dad...g. this is what the pros wear. uhhh... that's why he starts his day with those two scoops in heart healthy kellogg's raisin bran. ready to eat my dust? too bad i

for those in the room it was apparent that he had her back, similar to what scott walker, ryan's friend in wisconsin does as well. i also think that we can't downplay the relationship, ryan still communicates with mitt romney frequently, was his vp running mate in 2012 as you know very well. romney near on board with trump as are the last two president bushes and bush family and a lot of people who paul ryan reads in conservative publications and articles are not there either. he is on this congressional island i would say. however, within the republican party, there certainly are more people receptive to his views. i think though that the longer this divide happens, for example, flz a meeting today of what i've dubbed the trump caucus, members of congress who supported them. almost half of the committee chairman are part of the caucus. they came out with a whole stack of make america great again hats and said this will get members to our side. it's this idea of get on board, get on for the winning team. don't be a holdout. and while it's easier to have that opinion and stance in may, t

he went after -- he didn't have to go after him but scott walker, a lot of people's favorites for the way he could unite different strands of the party. by the time it came down to the end, trump was pitted against narrow fractional appeal within the party, kasich and cruzl republicans to the activist base so even on --ne-on-one, north of neither of them could beat trump and trump gets a majority in part because there was crisis fatigue on the part of republican voters, crisis after crisis, super tuesday after super tuesday, now they're contested a convention. john: michael, given the fact that donald trump won handily and by appealing to a lot of voters whoy squeezed are dissatisfied with the obama years, looking for something republicanrom the party, why don't more republican politicians look at him as the party, giving it a different look, changing the ideology a little bit? why isn't that embraced? michael: i think much of the last two decades, definitely reagan, a lot of republicans have retrenched into ideology and that's just how coded but try to there's the issue but you heard

fascinating about this moment is you had trump over here talking about martinez, then you had jeb bush, scott walker, all rallying to her defense, which shows even though in this election, donald trump will be the nominee, there is a huge fight within the party about what the republican party will be going forward. they want to be more diverse, they know they need to be more diverse. >> he's broken some rules. we'll see what happens. next, he calls her crooked hillary. she calls him a loose cannon. i want a great shape. who doesn't? so i bike. i get all of my greens. and i try not to faint. this... i can do easily. benefiber® healthy shape. just a couple of spoonfuls every day means fewer cravings. plus, it's all natural, clear, taste-free and dissolves completely. it's clinically proven to keep me fuller longer and helps keep me healthy inside and out. benefiber® healthy shape. this, i can do. find benefiber® healthy shape in the fiber aisle. puwith meta appetite control. you and temptation clinically proven to help reduce hunger between meals. new, from metamucil, the #1 doctor recommended brand.

scott walker got elected in 2010, in it's a very divisive issue in the state of wisconsin. a lot of dividends, in fact one that just came out in march or late february showed the state and the government's saved about $5 million over five years. so stay away from layoffs, they were able to use money wisely, that is that is the type of message that republicans are talking about usually what they're talking about trimming government and making things work more efficiently. there's nobody there for the republican message that scott walker and the wisconsin republicans have opened up. so that is better than colorado, that is certainly better than new hampshire, new hampshire is all elect oral college votes is considered a key state for both parties to win because it says something. wisconsin, if republicans could take wisconsin and put it in their column i think it is feasible to do that, then, that resets the whole midwest for republicans in a way and winning wisconsin would show that strength throughout the entire region, that i be very difficult for democrats to counter. >>

wisconsin governor scott walker is facing some serious debt following his failed white house it. 900 thousand dollars according to the latest filings. he's been an average of $90,000 a day during his campaign. the race inut of september. the supreme court has left intact a judge drawn voting map in virginia that might help democrats dig up a seat in the house of representatives. the unanimous ruling said the state republican congressional delegate could not continue an appeal seeking to reinstate an earlier map drawn by the virginia legislature. ,n austria, the far right party mail-in votes provided the margin of victory for the independent backed by the green party. the freedom party candidate attempted to capitalize on public concerns with immigration. global news 24 hours a day, powered by our 2400 journalists in more than 100 80 news bureaus around the world. let's get back to stocks and the outlook for the rest of the year. the average earnings rise has been small, just over 3%. the most pronounced misses have been financial and tech companies. shery: there were positive surpris

a big, meaningful and passionate endorsement, bigger than mike pence, like the one he got from scott walker. he need a meticulous ground game which has always been his strongest campaign point, and ted cruz needs donald trump to keep fromness firing -- to keep misfiring. in the "wall street journal" marist poll it looks like nothing but air ball for cruz. >> it gives me great comfort that this primary is going to be decided by the midwestern common sense of the hoosier state. kennedy: if those thoughtful hoosiers give donald the lyin' ted share of the delegates, cruz is out. it's the inflection point where the seesaw may fling the senator back to washington to ask that peperpetual nagging question, wt weren't wrong. it's an odd cycle at at times favors his dramatic turn. what seems to be missing is the things that his cohort has an embarrassing drove. bernie sanders is authentic. he makes even the most adamant socialist want to bite into his nougat center. midwesterners are uninspired by miss metaphors. naming carly fiorina as veep seemed like a gimmick as did his deal with kasich. that see

former scott walker aide, rick wiley left the campaign. some dispute he was fired saying he was hearing complaints throughout the campaign. trump kept up attacks on hillary clinton and elizabeth warren. >> i was being hit by everybody. i was being hit by the republicans. i was being hit by pocohantas. pocohantas. that's elizabeth warren. i call her goofy. no, no, goofy. she gets less done than anybody in the united states senate. she gets nothing done. nothing passed. she's got a big mouth. >> reporter: there were most clashes with trump protesters and police in anaheim. trump is trying to keep thing calm into the gop. he was scheduled to have a call with house speaker paul ryan whose aides knock down reports he was on the verge of endorsing trump. they want to give ryan all the time he needs. george and alison. >> thank you, jim. >>> donald trump's feud with the republican governor of new mexico is raising doubts about the ability to unite the gop. blasting susan martinez. blaming her for new mexico's high unemployment rate and food stamp

at a finance conference yesterday, republican governor scott walker of wisconsin and rick scott of florida governor john hickenlooper and virginia governor terry mcauliffe. all of them say there are open jobs in their states that their employers can't fill because they can't find skilled workers. their solution, a mix of job training, apprenticeships, and changes in schools, public schools, all of which they say are needed to combat this jobs skills gap. right now there are 5.4 million jobs open in the united states, near a record high. it's a sign that employers want to hire, but it also indicates that employers can't find people with the right skills. that's a really interesting position of those four governors a the a time when we're talking about these jobs disappearing. that's interesting. >>> all right. an american death near the front lines in the battle against isis. new information about the navy s.e.a.l. killed in combat in iraq. that's next. >>> u.s. forces moving dangerously close to the front lines in the battle against isis in iraq. more than 4,000 u.s. troops in the region r

what happened in 2016 that had the republican party regular, scott walker, perry, every one of them, rubio, cruz, they all went down in a ravine. they are ditched by this one guy, beats all of them and wins the republican nomination. what is it in the times that allowed that to happen? >> donald trump figured out the campaign for a moderate presidency is different than in the past. he didn't put together a traditional campaign. it's the first modern campaign in the social media era. he understood how to use earned media instead of paid media. he also had a vision. he came in with plan to change everything as a true outsider. he was not involved in politics until ten months ago. he combined a modern campaign with a vision that not restricted by the conventional wisdom of politics in washington. those two things made a different where he will be now. >> how does he fit the republican party? he went throughout and was the largest vote getter in the history of primaries. he beat the record by may 3rd. he is now the head of the republican party as far as voters in country are concerned. h

johnson and this list of 20 that the trump campaign released today, a who's who list republicans, scott walkeruz, jeb bush -- it is an impressive list. they have ties to the evangelical world and it is a wide variety that tends a signal to people that you've got small to raise money and putting their names behind donald trump. take me inside the minds of some of these donors. we saw donors who were frustrated. they gave a bunch of money and did not know where it went and they gave off money about this cycle. what did they say about the money that's going to get spent? jennifer: it is interesting -- it gives the donors some cover even if they don't adore donald trump, they can say they are giving money to the national republican committee which will help support local and national gop as well as the trump campaign. as far as what they are asking for from the trump campaign, i'm not sure. mark: right now, a lot of debate about whether trump last tactics are a good idea. what is your sense of whether they things are on track or do they have anything that is functional that needs to be fixed? thin

rick perry, scott walker, and others also raised and spent considerable sums. guest: that is the notion one or two exceptions somehow proves the rule. bsurd an observed -- a argument. if that is true, tell me why thousands of lobbyists are maxing out as much money as they can to the politicians they are trying to a fact, and why the wealthiest people in america are writing huge checks in the medical process. if he gets you nothing, why are they doing it? the it comes to jeb bush, press from the get-go started reporting how he was a lackluster candidate. can overcomemoney the personality flaws of a candidate. it is taking a tiny specific moment in time and trying to extrapolate that therefore there is nothing going on with money and politics, which does not hold water. host: let's go to the calls. we go back to the open secrets website. they have a chart. the darker bars in the blue about hillary clinton represents outside money. the lighter ours represent candidate, committee money. that up so folks can take a look and absorb it while we talked to marion, in vi

but the reality is conservative governors, and i can mention scott walker and john kasich and rick perry and bobby jindal and rick scott of florida. they have done a great job. they've taken high def sits, turned it into surpluses. high unemployment rates. they brought hundreds o thousands of jobs to their states. washington republicans, carly, have failed. they've not been able to duplicate that. why is there this fear, this unnatural -- seems, you know, unpredictable fear of almost pathological that they're going to get blamed for government shutdown if they stand on principle? >> it's called lack of courage and leadership. that's what it's called. that's what it's called. but, you know, one of the things that i did before i voted for ted cruz, and i voted for him before i ever had a conversation with -- >> were you on the ballot? >> yes, i was still on the ballot wrhen i voted for ted cruz. one of the things i did before i voted for him, before i endorsed him, before i with great humility and pride accepted his invitation to serve as his running mate, i went through and read all his p

people who ran for president, like jeb bush and scott walker, who are in pretty important battleground you know, there's no love lost between trump and those guys, but also, people like john kasich haley and some other republicans who telegraph they may eventually come into a tent with trump. they kind of look to make some peace there. but they don't want to be considered a running mate. the tricky thing here is that to what degree does that really hold up for months on end? these people ultimately come around. >> absolutely. there still are a number of people who are open to consideration. newt gingrich, jeff sessions, ben carson, chris christie. those endorsed him and maybe not newt gingrich, but spoken supportively of them. mary fallon of oklahoma. that was an interesting one. why might she be a good pick? >> it's interesting. trump. usually winning with white women since 1996 and according to one poll is down double digits to hillary clinton with white women. so the thought is that a traditional republican nominee going up against the great possibility of the first female democrati

there are several state governorsyou might ask , john kasich of ohio, scott walker of wisconsin who hepeted against in the presidential primary. they i think would we assure republicans indifferent kinds of ways , walker maybe more appealing to the more conservative part of the party, k-6 more the moderate part of the party and there are also surnames you could float out there. one of the questions that the potential candidates have to answer is do they actually want the job? one good sign for trump is that it does seem like republican elites have rallied around him recently, maybe to an extent greater than one may have thought so that may open up a wider range of possibilities trump could consider for hisrunning mate . melissa: some of the wedding on your list are interesting. jan brewer is someone we've heard, jody urged, who is strongest in the female category? >> jody urged is a new senator from iowa who really got high marks for her campaign. she doesn't bring a lot of experience to the table though. another interesting name that would be more of a lesser known person is shelley m

at a financial conference yesterday, republican governors scott walker and rick scott of florida wereffe, all of them saying there are open positions in their states that employers can not fill because they can't find skilled workers. their solution, job training, apprenticeships, and changes in the public schools. right now, there are 5.4 million jobs open in the united states. that's near a record high. 5.4 million open jobs right now. it's a sign that employers are hiring, but it also indicates that employers can't find people with the right skills. >>> donald trump now the presumptive republican nominee in the race for president. "new day" picks up the story from us right now. >>> we had a tremendous victory. >> we are suspending our campaign. >> i guess he's down to one. i don't know. if there a second? >> donald will betray his supporters, and i don't think we deserve that. >> ted cruz, i don't know if he likes me, but he is one hell of a competitor. >> we have got to stay focused. we know how to do this, my friends. >> secretary clinton thinks that this campaign is over. i've g

a big, meaningful and passionate endorsement, bigger than mike pence, like the one he got from scott walkereticulous ground game which has always been his

when did scott walker drop out? when did peridrop out? that's bogus.: again, you've got to believe behind closed doors, the democrats have to be wondering how do we make hillary clinton a more exciting candidate? because getting out the vote ultimately is what it's all about. guys, you were fantastic. by the way, speaking of fantastic, did you guys see the market today? here's the thing. it related on good news. it related on news that maybe gives the fed more ammunition to hike rates. new home sales surged so much that even the stock market had to take a boy. but what's driving it and sustainable. i'll tell you what in three mins . charles: new home sales soared in april. the hotel sparks a huge stock market rally. turns out some good news can be good news especially if the economy is really getting better. we'll be right back t. a breathe right nasal strip instantly opens your nose up to 38% more than allergy medicine alone. shut your mouth and say goodnight, mouthbreathers. breathe right. there's no one no one surface...e. no one speed... no one way

a few great mentions, but the story also suggested a number of kasich,ndidates, john jeb bush, scott walker would decline the position if offered. put aside the mindless guessing game. as a matter of political strategy, should be the criteria that trump uses to select running mates? >> think he has been astute in fillin gig in what he needs. plenty.s from the hip if he has someone more stable and steady by his side i think that would be a 100% asset for him. but you just talked about the security vote. whether he looks to the military, to a formal general. i cannot think of a sitting governor as a woman who would be available to him and would be a good running mate but there are a lot of people who served in the military who would shore up his most glaring vulnerability. >> you have to pick someone who the voter sees and media filter sees as ready to be president from day one. the other thing is that though he does have an advantage over clinton on strength, he does not in terms of qualifications. to me, that is the biggest problem. if you can get the qualification shored up a little bit, w

the story also suggested a number of potential candidates , john kasich, jeb bush, scott walker, would decline if offered. put aside the mindless guessing game. nicole: who would say yes and no. john: what do you think, as a matter of political strategy, you would choose as criteria? nicole: you know, i think he has been a student in filling in what he needs. the has said publicly that he would pick someone with some of the areas he doesn't have a government. i don't think there's any risk he will tarnish his brand. he needs someone stable steady, and i think that would be 100% an asset. what i think the question will be -- you just talked about the security vote. whether he looks of the military, to a former general, whether -- i can't think of a sitting governor was a woman who'd be available to him, but i think there are a lot of people who served in the military who would shore up his most glaring folder ability. john: first and foremost, you have to pick someone who the voters see as ready to be president from day one. is,the second thing although he does have an advantage over cl

you've got backers of scott walker, ted cruz, jeb bush. it's a variety of people.s to the evangelical world. it does signal to people it's a small nucleus that's willing to help raise money. there are some operatives who think the other donors who will fall. >> we saw donors frustrated. they gave a bunch of money. they didn't know where the money went. the money that they raised. the money that they spent. >> well, it's interesting. this joint fund raising agreement that the republican national committee has gives donors some cover. they can tell themselves and other people they are giving money to the republican national committee which will help support local and national gop as well as the trump campaign. it does give them cover. they're asking from the trump campaign, i'm not sure. >> right now tactics are a good idea or not, what's your sense of whether the trump campaign thinks things are on track. they have a lot to do or do you think they have anything that's dysfunctional that needs to be fixed? >> i think they have the structure of the campaign right wher

texas-sized gizmodoch reported that they are suppressing conservative news conservatives subjects like scott walker cpac were bloc listed and news from right-leaning sites like breitbart and news max could not be used unless followed up by the likes of "new york times" or cnn. senator john thune fired off a letter demanding an explanation. joining us now is a commentator in washington. these facebook who have contractors, unnamed as we should stress, said it was common to suppress conservative topics and news. how much does this tarnish the media outlet? >> we had to assume this these were the biggest stories from across the web. you expect your friend's priest to be biased but not from the site itself. however, i'd be very surprised if this the affects how often people log into facebook. they are still going to go there and post pictures of their kids and dogs. i don't think that's going to change. >> that part may not change. republican senator john thune conducting an inquiry demanding facebook explain its editorial process for the trending topics. if this letter was sent to the "new york times"

so mitt romney could launch a single state independent run in utah and governor scott walker could run wisconsin and rick perry or ted cruz could run in texas. it's this over arching goldberg scheme and the way it works the underlying logic is if you get enough one off wins in enough states by all these different independent candidates that could be enough to prevent either hillary clinton or donald trump from getting a majority from the electoral college from getting to 270 votes and if neither candidate gets to 270 votes then the next president gets decided you guys by the house of representatives, paul ryan. the house of representatives is controlled by the republicans so if everything goes right where they could get paul ryan as president without ever actually running paul ryan for president. see how simple? see how it works if you line up everything perfectly, right? it's fool proof just like the six ball butterfly shot. this is their last idea. which means it's probably time to stop paying attention to the never trump movement in the republican party and start paying attention to

are 10 or 15 very capable candidates ranging from governor martinez in new mexico to governor scott walkeracross the country. the republican party today has a lot of talented people. >> including newt gingrich. what are your thoughts about him? >> well, i think that he's very, very unlikely. he would not be at the top of my list of possible candidates. >> i love the way we worked that through third person, all the way down to first person singular. newt gingrich, great to have you here in person. >> good to be with you. thank you. >>> we have two close encounters of the wild kind to show you now. crews in alaska got quite a shock when a humpback whale -- watch this. a humpback whale breaching -- popping up for feeding. look at that. amazing, in the marina. just feet from the docks. and in mexico -- i mean, that's beautiful. in mexico, these dolphins showing off for a local tour group. now watch this. you want to see a dolphin show off, there he is, accidentally landing in their vote. fortunately, the tourists were able to quickly return the dolphin to the water. all, especially the dolphin

i'm scott walker in tonight for melissa lee. our traders are tim seymour, karen finerman and steve grasso and ryan kelly. the worst slide in two decades. is tim cook worried? we'll hear what he said to jim cramer exclusively moments ago. plus, missed a rally? we've got three stocks making 52-week highs. a top technician says we're going even higher. we'll see if any of them are worth buying. wells fargo says the s&p 500 could rally 10% this year. the bull behind the call makes his case in just a few moments. but first, we start out with the markets. the dow, nasdaq and s&p firmly in the green. it came down to one thing. a weaker dollar. the dollar has fallen for six straight days sitting at its lowest level since august. is it really this simple. >> it's been weaker are dollar and stronger oil, too. they go hand in hand. i'm still in the camp that we're in a correction in the dollar. for the last month or so, i've been wrong on being long dollar. when i look back at the longer term, we had 18 months from 2014, to the peak in 201

on one end you have scott walker, who told reporters in wisconsin today that donald trump is for him, better choice than hillary clinton. there are a lot of hedgers -- senators susan collins of maine told a liberal radio station quote donald trump is the opportunity to unite the party, but if you going to build that wall, he is going to have to mend a lot offenses -- of fences. kelly, the campaign medications director told the report that she plans to support donald trump. we have this tweet, reporters keep asking if indiana changes anything, the answer is simple -- no. john, a lot of people still left to react, but what does this say about trump's chances of uniting 'the republican party as the nominee presumptive? john: one note, i think those two are clowns in terms of how they are handling this. this utter wishy-washy talk. if you vote for somebody, you are endorsing them. i don't care what people say, that is an endorsement. it is notable that there has not been -- the size rants previous rence preibus, i think donald trump has a lot of work to do. he said today there were some p

. >> scott walker, marco rubio. kasich, palin.>> the math, three states, flip ohio, florida and take michigan, you have a tie, goes to the house, republican wins, so florida, trump's second home state. i would say we got that locked down. michigan rick snyder would not be a bad choice, you flip michigan, you win. and ohio, because john kasich won it i would say snyder or kasich. >> snyder is very damaged. >> what happened to suzannah martinez? >> i got to hear the man of the hour. gregory? >> you know, if i were trump, i would pick ken wall. the actor from "wise guy" that way if they say, what about the wall? you could say i was talking about ken wall. >> i can't believe, i hope you believe them. it's fun to watch. one more thing up next. >>> time for one more thing. a special one, kg? >> the u.s. military has identified the navy s.e.a.l. killed by isis in iraq yesterday. the american hero was special warfare operator first class charles keating iv from san diego. he was 31 years of age. keating first enlisted in the navy in 2007.

. >> it spells out the stakes that this -- he's gone after nikki haley and went off scott walker and all these folks that were the future and to me what it shows it illustrates that they all -- if they're thinking of their own political future they're rooting for trump to lose because a trump victory means it's over for all of them. their political careers are done. they don't own the party and they've got nothing. >> i think it's true not just of the politicians but i think of a whole host of -- >> thousands and thousands of people. >> without a doubt. this fits into the narrative of what they were talking about the democrats were talking about today. this is a guy who is out for himself and with all regards to the congressman businessmen may do this. vultures wait until someone dies and swoops down and picks at their bones. so i think that this is -- it's a strong attack and i think this is indicative of the way trump operates. >> i thought today was interesting like watching him play the hits i thought he found himself in the defensive and it's like let's go back, low energy jeb,

he included references to mexicans as rapists and rivals such as jeb bush or scott walker, that speechas seen as unserious but today we are sitting here on may 26th, 2016, and he'll be on the ticket for the republican nomination. how did we get here? republicans missed opportunity after opportunity to take trump the insurgent seriously. and then after the establishment, trump tapped into something they all missed. anti-washington, anti-politician, anti-trade deal, anti-illegal immigration. the establishment failed to take their shots when they had chances to take trump down. he announced in june and by july he was topping the polls. at the second presidential debate for the republicans when i asked governor jeb bush as my very first question if he trusted mr. trump with the nuclear codes, well, jeb bush took a pass. trump had been the front-runner for months before the first negative tv ad had even ran and the man who ended up being the most tenacious rival refused to criticize trump and wore this as a badge of honor even after questions were raised by trump about his religion and wher

they just announced that a top staffer who used to work for scott walker's campaign is now leaving the trump campaign and standby for more headlines. >> you said he's leaving? >> he is leaving the trump campaign. that's right. he was hired just six weeks ago and there was no indication that this was a temporary hiring but the trump campaign just announced it was a temporary hiring and he's now leaving the campaign. i talked to some sources inside the campaign saying it's been building and discomfort as to what his allegiances were. >> joining us is clinton supporter and former press secretary, ben, jason, stuart are back. david, i mean, i don't know what round we're in. the gloves are not only off, they're tossed away. i don't know what they are? >> it's not all that hopeful for what the next six months will look like in terms of this campaign. i think you do see some real battle lines forming here. it is clear that the clinton campaign is committed to prosecuting this argument about donald trump's business background and how it impacts the middle class. it's clear from what we heard h

there is scott walker and bobby jindal that say donald trump is the beneficiary of unprecedent ed --e media can be unforgiving and relentless in pursuing nasty questions. we know that from the way the candidates respond on this show. but while i'm on the subject, your candidate isn't much better. we put in many, many calls to mr. cruz and he could explain that if he could. by the way, if you don't like something, you whine about it or blame others for it, that would be similar to me blaming a weight condition on a thyroid. unfortunately, it's not a thyroid. >> i think that is what the american people are looking at. to your point, they are looking for something to vote for. when cruz engaged the trump supporters yesterday, he was trying to engage them in an intellectual conversation as you saw, they wanted nothing to do with an intellectual conversation. some of the data and facts there, they just wanted emotion. >> maybe the problem is the messenger. maybe he's a horrible messenger. he's torpedoing because he's a horrible messenger. >> i will give donald trump credit because he taps

>> well, you know, i started with scott walker. so i went 0-2. hopefully there are a few viewers hope i get this one right. but the truth of the matter is, i always said, deirdre, i was eoing to back the presumptive eventual nominee and so what we learned in this last electoral season is that the establishment-oriented personalities and policies were not met with the voice and vote of the people. and so my guess is, is that candidate trump will fit the republican profile as other republican candidates have fit it. some of the angry rhetoric about him or some of the soreness that people feel about him i do think will dissipate once he is named the nominee of the party. let me tell you, very powerful thing to be republican nominee. think about it, only 10 months into his political career and he captured nomination of one of two american political parties. so he is on the job lerner, he is a great lerner. we had number one-on-one conversations past couple weeks. there is soreness out there. but like every other campaign season. the democrats will ha

if scott walker or chris christie and john kasich and a uniquely charismatic populous -- >> i know, butely eclipsed by trump. if trump were in this thing, someone else could have marshalled a lot of this and modern conservatism would have been intact. the idea that trump is a vessel for an anti-free trade and increase in the minimum wage, tearing up any ideas about entitlement reform and the idea that he's a vessel for that and the real agenda on the right. >> we've got to take a break. when we come back we'll talk about all of that, but we are also going to talk about the point you raised that will trump really lose because he's up against another controversial politician, hillary clinton. when we come back. every day you read headlines about businesses being hacked and intellectual property being stolen. that is cyber-crime. and it affects each and every one of us. microsoft created the digital crimes unit to fight cyber-crime. we use the microsoft cloud to visualize information so we can track down the criminals. when it comes to the cloud, trust and security are paramount. we're bui
