We begin with republicans supporting trump. Others citing his speech as a reason to hang on. Paul ryan having at best mixed feelings about donald trump is now on board. Speaker ryan called what he said about judge curiel racism, his words. Trying to build support for the man, some might say only in washington. Manu raju is following the twists and turns. You have been talking to officials and donors. Did events today change minds . Not quite, but he is on shaky ground, anderson. Several gop camps are forming, that Republican Leaders say the voters have spoken, donald trump would be better than Hillary Clinton, there are republicans in that never trump movement, lindsey graham, ben sass of nebraska, and congressman from wisconsin who told me trump is likely a racist. Questioning whether judge curiel can rule fairly because of mexican descent. Republicans are in tough reelection races. This is where youll find the most distance. Senator toomey said he will see how it plays out before he decides to support. To support but not endorse the nominee, trump could lose backing. Last week i caught up with his biggest rival, ted cruz, who told me time will tell whether he would even back donald trump this year. What role did trumps speech play in anybodys thinking . I can tell you republicans, that speech went over well on capitol hill. John cornyn, Number Two Senate republican told me he was happy trump stayed on script, Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell said something similar to Aaron Burnett earlier. In the closed door meeting, paul ryan who did criticize comments strongly, reiterated support for trump, expressing the importance of party unity. Really, anderson, hoping that last nights speech wasnt just an anomaly. What are the biggest remaining concerns . They want him to communicate a clear vision for the party, talk about the Republican Issues that unite them as a party. Many republicans like Susan Collins of maine are tired of all of the personal insults he leveled, even at fellow republicans. What republicans dont want to hear, anderson, is more commercial comments that force them to clean up after the nominee and distract from the effort to hang onto congress. Thanks. Heres a contrasting moment. This judge is mexican heritage, im building a wall. Mexican heritage and he is very proud of it. Im building a wall. I am trying to keep business out of mexico. He is proud of his heritage, okay . I am building a wall, i am building a wall. He is a mexican. Building a wall between here and mexico. This judge is giving us unfair rulings. Now i say why. Well, im going to build a wall, okay, and it is a wall between mexico, not another country. That was not us repeating that, thats how many times he said it. Now he is trying to reboot the campaign. Phil mattingly has more on that. What are you hearing how yesterdays speech came together with the key players in Trumps Campaign . It is an amazing thing, anderson. You look at it, more than 24 hours prior, donald trump was on a private Conference Call with surrogates, urging them to go on offense. Theres a good reason why. He believes he is in the right. He believes the rulings that have come from the judge have been unfair, that the only rational reason is the judge is biased, he believes he is right through the process. What we saw last night in the 700 plus word statement and the rather toned down remarks that you and manu talked about, he at the urging of family members, including his daughter, ivanka trump, rnc members, new Jersey Governor Chris Christie and most importantly chief strategist Paul Manafort willing to if not back down, ratchet back the rhetoric. Anderson, worth noting that this isnt some major pivot, if you talk to advisers, they say major change is not in the ofg, but this is a shift, he is listening to advisers, telling him to change course, is something new. For a lot of them, this could be an important moment but they want to see what happens next. Is this something trump himself wanted to do . Anderson, one of the interesting things throughout the campaign you learn from closest advisers, donald trump doesnt do anything that donald trump doesnt want to do, but there are a core group of advisers he is starting to rely on a lot. Throughout the process, reince priebus, Republican NationalCommittee Chairman and Chris Christie have been close sounding boards for him throughout the entire process. Obviously Paul Manafort as well. Worth noting that while this was a shift, youre not going to see donald trump come off course here. He is going to continue to do what hes been doing in his rallies. The reason why is this. It has gotten him this far. You talk to his advisers, hear him speak, he doesnt think the Establishment Republicans that have been opposed to what he is doing to this point have any grounds to stand on now, so theres not going to be a major wholesale shift, but it is interesting to note. Chris christie, reince priebus, Paul Manafort, all individuals that have got good sway in the entire process, anderson. Phil mattingly, appreciate the reporting. Back with the panel. Kayleigh, we talked last night on the air together about donald trump putting out a statement, saying i am done talking about this, time to talk about other things. Yet i read an interview with him i am pretty sure was from today in which he was again talking about the details of this and that he didnt get good rulings on this, relitigating again this case. I would have to see the details of the interview. I havent seen that one. People have been citing his interview last night which was prerecorded before the statement came out, thats what i have been told. If he is asked about it, i think he will respond, but i dont think he will fall for gotcha questions, wont bring it up, probably going to try to move to issues more and more like jobs, terrorism. Is it going to come up during the course of the campaign . I am sure it will in some form probably be part of the debate question. I hope it is not. I hope moderators stick to what the American People care about. But it is not going to be a core issue. It does seem donald trump answers questions. You ask him a question, he answers. You can disagree with the answer, like it or not like it, but i am not sure assuming jakes questions were gotcha questions, getting him to repeat over and over again, building a wall with mexico. He is mexican. When a candidate says something that causes huge controversy, questions are going to come from the press right and left and repeatedly to try to get the candidate to clarify or take a stand, one thing or another. He has been going through what lots and lots of professional political leaders have gone through over the years, theres nothing new about that. I dont think he has been treated any more unfairly than others from other parties. I can tell you going back to clinton years, they thought they were hammered by mainstream press, didnt come from the right, came from the left, thought New York Times was after them from the beginning. I dont think he had baptism by fire, i dont think he handled it particularly well. Did last night represent a turn in tone of the campaign, of course he will have rallies, but will he change tone in the way paul ryan and others are urging him to do, and theyre not convinced of that yet. They have been told on more than one occasion by him and others around him, he gets it, he is going to change, hes going to do it. Even the advisers say he will change tonight, and boom, goes off and is his old self. Theres skepticism with republicans. According to ben webber, long time republican leader in washington said flat out i dont believe it, i dont believe he will change. I think he is incapable of change. I think we will wait and see. If he does change, keeps rallies, i think he has a chance to regain footing. I would say parenthetically, he warned if he did he was boring. And rick theres a tension. Rick, important point. Because there are a lot of other candidates read off teleprompters on the gop side, had campaigns and knew policy papers and papers left, right, center and theyre gone and donald trump beat them all. If you were donald trump, why wouldnt you stick with what brought you here. Donald trump relishes controversy, it commands attention of the media. He wants to control the attention of the media desperately. Problem is that wouldnt be bad if he talked about bad job support and contrast between a program that would lift jobs and incomes and grow the economy and what we have been seeing the last seven years under barack obama, he is driving controversy around religious litmus test for immigration, barring muslims from the country, saying a u. S. Born indiana bred judge from mexican descent is not qualified to preside over a trial, and then said maybe if there were muslims or a woman he would feel the same way. He had a problem with the pope, does that mean every catholic judge wouldnt be qualified to hear the case . This is what makes elected republicans uneasy. It is what makes a lot of traditional long time lifelong republicans uneasy. This is not the kind of statement you would associate with the party of lincoln, roosevelt or ronald reagan. This is a Different Party that donald trump wants to preside over and it is not one embraced by many people like me. Van, Newt Gingrich talked to cnn saying missteps from trump, are quote, the kind of mistakes amateurs make, yet Newt Gingrich wanted to stress that he is supporting donald trump. What about that. Fact of the matter is trump has only been a politician a year now. Are they simply mistakes he is making . First of all a year is a long time in politics. A lot of mistakes hes making are mistakes if youre a kinder garth ner, you would be worried. He is acting like a bad boyfriend. After the fourth, fifth, sixth date, still having these problems, you have to start being worried. Obviously speaker gingrich is someone trying hard to help him and i applaud speaker gingrich for doing that. The reality is at this late date, imagine if youre one year into the presidency and having these kinds of problems. Well, guess what, here comes the press conference tomorrow, the president will stop insulting the prime minister, stop insulting, dont worry, he is going to get better. You cant do this. I think thats where we are. For most people, we have already seen enough to know theres something desperately wrong with this candidacy and candidate. You point to his achilles heel, being unscripted. Sometimes that can hurt him. It is also his greatest attribute. Theres a contrast when you watch donald trump handle press questions where most of the time he answers directly for better or worse. Versus Hillary Clinton, a professional dodger. I watched her interview with anderson cooper. You asked Great Questions but you had to ask her twice whether her husband would remove himself from the Clinton Foundation. She didnt answer. She didnt. Hours earlier was asked twice why she said she would give an anyone to anyone that wanted to to speak with the inspector ed general. She was asked twice and didnt answer. They see authenticity from trump and dodging from Hillary Clinton. Look, i said that from the beginning about donald trump, van, that you can see him in an interview, when John Dickerson asked would a muslim judge be able to, i dont want to misquote, but be unable to judge you. Clearly trump hadnt thought about it. You saw him go like hmm, yeah, i guess so. And think about it and answer. A practiced politician would not have answered that question or would have gotten away. And to his achilles point, thats his achilles heel but also part of what attracted people in the first place. Is that in some context endearing, captivating, make for interesting television, yes. Heres the reality, doesnt make a great president of the United States whose word could crash a stock market or start a war. Yes, it is refreshing but that doesnt mean thats what you need to get a country through where we are. Lets take a quick break. We will dig deeper with the panel to the notion of trump 2. 0. Is there a reset, what he is promising when he makes his next formal speech monday. And later, president obamas endorsement of Hillary Clinton, when it could happen, how it might happen, whether it could persuade Bernie Sanders supporters to stay in the democratic camp. He has a sharp wit. A winning smile. And no chance of getting an athletic scholarship. And that is why you invest. The best returns arent just measured in dollars. Hey i like your ride. I just wanted to let you know. You can save a ton by switching to progressive, just like squirrel here. We offer great discounts, like responsible rider, paid in full, and homeowners. Making us number one in motorcycle insurance. Isnt this romantic. It was. Going the distance to save you more. Now, thats progressive. Hes happy. Ts with him .

Yeah oh, that didnt hurt at all. Yeah, completely painless. Credit karma. Give yourself some credit. Talking about donald trump, doing what his supporters are asking him to do, stop with name calling and pivot toward the general election. The speech differed from his usual. I am going to give a major speech on probably monday of next week and were going to be discussing all of the things that have taken place with the clintons. I think youre going to find it very informative and very, very interesting. Hillary clinton turned the state department into her private hedge fund. The russians, the saudis, the chinese, all gave money to bill and hillary and got favorable treatment in return. It is a sad day in america when foreign governments with deep pockets have more influence in our own country than our great citizens. Back with the panel. The speech trump is going to give, seems like the argument will be that the clintons see Government Service as a means to an end for their own gains, he will raise up questions, some of which i asked secretary clinton about, about the Clinton Foundation and other issues. Secretary clinton says look, this has all been gone over already, let him bring it on, theres nothing new here. Shouldnt she be concerned . Is she vulnerable on this . I think her speech against him, her, quote, Foreign Policy speech in which she assembled everything in the speech was known before, but still had a powerful effect, it was the cumulative quality of the speech that was very effective, and his answer was minimal. He didnt rebut it effectively at all. But now he has the opportunity to return the favor and go and bring all of this stuff together and go slug her. Thats going to be the nature of the campaign unfortunately. But fair is fair, she went after him in that way, he has every right to go after her and see where the chips fall. Kayleigh, you brought up a number of issues over the last several weeks about the clintons and im sure were going to hear those echoed from donald trump. Were you surprised that he didnt respond or that the campaign didnt respond more aggressively to the speech Hillary Clinton gave which is the litany of using his words against hi
