Good evening and thanks for joining us for the second hour of 360. Donald trump right now getting ready to cap out what could be the first day of the rest of his campaign. In other words, a new beginning. Might also be the beginning of the end. Thats how pivotal today potentially was, with the candidate apparently declaring war on his own party, especially party leaders. He says hes now unshackled. Others are saying this move untethers him from the very people he needs to win and govern. He is holding an event in palm beach, florida. Our sara murray joins us from florida. Trump is about to speak. Hes been tweeting a lot today. What do we expect here . Reporter the Trump Campaign tells me when donald trump takes the stage here in panama city, hes going to be having his focus trained on Hillary Clinton. Theyre saying that he is going to be very critical of her based on these apparently hacked emails from her campaign chairman, that were then posted on wikileaks. So hes going to be launching a number of sort of grenades her way on that. But, anderson, i think the thing to watch for is whether donald trump can really keep his focus trained on clinton at this rally or if we hear him going off again against members of his own party. This is something that has made republicans feel very nervous. They feel he could have a negative impact on their chances of keeping control of the house and the senate and thats what were watching for tonight. He appeared in texas earlier, but he was very prolific on twitter today, even by his own standards. Some of it, as you said, was directed against republicans. Reporter a lot of it was directed at republicans. Donald trump went after paul ryan were hard. Of course, House Speaker paul ryan said he was no longer going to be out there defending donald trump. He also went after john mccain, who has rescinded his endorsement of donald trump, and essentially said hes disappointed in what he perceives as disloyalty from the republican party. The Trump Campaign insists that this is the kind of strategy that is not going to hurt them with their base and they believe its going to thep drive turnout among anyone who is sick of the washington establishment. Well keep an eye on that stage behind you. Joining us now, Trump Campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway. Great to have you on. So donald trump said tonight he doesnt care about paul ryans support, he doesnt want paul ryans support, that he might be better off without paul ryans support. Can you say for sure whether donald trump is rescinding his endorsement of paul ryan and whether he believes the speaker should be reelected to his congressional seat. Well, hes not talking about any of that. Hes trying to be elected president of the United States and hes doing that with or without certain peoples endorsements, anderson. And the fact is that paul ryans job is what John Boehners job was in 2012 when mitt romney was running. His job is to make sure the republicans get reelected. And i would say, when paul ryan was running for Vice President last time, they lost eight of the nine swing states, and people like i certainly supported him. I know donald trump certainly supported the ticket. But, you know, the fact remains that were running a president ial campaign. And were doing that through appearances like today, fundraisers like today, where donald trump was in texas, raising money, not just for the Trump Campaign, but, drumroll, please, for the rnc and the republican committees, which benefits all these candidates that paul ryan is trying to protect. When donald trump raises money for the party, raises money, a lot of that money goes to the party, and thats fine. If youre doing a doorknocking program, for example, in wisconsin, it also helps ron johnson whos running for senate. It helps the congressional candidates. If youre doing it in Kelly Ayottes new hampshire, it helps her. Were being very good team players here and very happy weve got a great working relationship with Reince Priebus and the rnc. Theyve been spectacular to us. But clearly the candidate does not believe that paul ryan is being a good team player. Does he believe that paul ryan should be speaker of the house come january . Well, paul ryan is speaker of the house and that is up to members of the caucus. Donald trump is not running for a congressman from manhattan where he would actually vote on the speaker. But i appreciate the good wishes that were actually going to be the next president of the United States and that well have to work with the speaker. We want a republican majority in the house and the senate. Theres no question. But the bigger issue is that were communicating directly with voters. For those members of congress that endorse us, terrific. For those that dont, were still winning voters in their state. For everyone that doesnt want to endorse donald trump or doesnt even want to support him, he should realize he actually has a connection to his voters. Look at all of these states and senators who arent endorsing him. Were doing well in most or all of those states. Some of them arent even competitive. As someone who works in gop politics for a living, are you concerned at all that donald trump could be burning the party down, not just this year, but for cycles to come . If theres a republican civil war for the next four weeks and if donald trump does poorly with women or minorities on election day, doesnt that risk hurting the party for years . Were working very closely with the rnc. Hand in glove. I talk to Reince Priebus several times a day. Sean spicer is here today. Katie walsh is here often, the chief of staff there. We have a great that is the party. And we have a great relationship with the party. In fact, the party has provided so much of the ground game and Field Operation and data operation to supplement what we already had, when i got here, and what were building on, that we literally are doing it with them, in these swing states. The rnc is the party. And the rnc is also helping these candidates. And were helping them to raise money and frankly, to field the candidate thats bringing in new voters in some of their states. When donald trump says on twitter that hes glad the shackles are you have, that hes feeling unshackled, whats he referring to, specifically . When was he shackled. Or who was he shackled or muzzled by . He gave an interview this evening to fox news channels bill oreilly and i think he explained some of that, anderson. Where mr. Trump said that he gets some peoples endorsements and then they take them back. And then they beg him for his endorsement, he gives it in the primaries, and then they waiver. So, you know, thats just not donald trump. Donald trump among wishywashy people, who decide one day they want him, and they want his endorsement, they support him, and the next day they dont. Its much better for him to take the message directly to the people. We welcome all republican endorsements, no question. Wed be happy to have that. Wed be happy to have more fair treatment in the media. But im not going to find unicorns on my doorstep tomorrow either. So in the meantime, were going to continue to go with him as a master communicator and connector directly to the voters. Monica langley of the wall street journal is reporting tonight that Donald Trumps strategy is essentially twopronged. That hes trying to use the split in the gop to rally his base and trying to depress democratic turnout. Do you believe that is enough to win . Do you believe you can depress democratic turnout by going after Hillary Clinton, by going after bill clinton . Well, i think Hillary Clintons beens depressing democratic turnout. Why is this woman at 46 . Shes like the magic 46. Shes 46 in the new nbc news wall street journal poll shes ahead of your candidate. Pardon me . Well, anderson, shes running as the first female president who has a sitting president and first lady, much more popular than shell ever be your candidate is below 40 . Is that a question . Well, youre saying 46 is bad, but 37 is worse. You asked me about Hillary Clinton you asked me if i thought well, yes, one does not need to be a pollster to know that. But heres the deal. Im asking you how someone who has all of these advantages. Youre asking me how we win, and if Hillary Clinton can enthuse her base and turnout enough, can she win. She still doesnt have the sanders voters, theyre angry. Theyre more angry now more than ever knowing how she insulted them recently. Theyre not going to be happy about all the paytoplay that was released today. If youre a friend of bill, you can get in on those Haiti Earthquake relief contracts. How disgusting. We should be focused on the Haiti Earthquake victims, not on what contracts your company should get, if youre a friend of bill. Go read it. I know its not exciting news for everyone, but im sure the viewers will see it. And youre asking me how she can win. And im asking you, im completely perplexed how someone who has most of the Mainstream Media for her, a sitting first lady far more popular than shell ever supposed to be, a former president also her husband, the sitting Vice President , a thousand people working in brooklyn, she has all these states locked up and she cant crack 50 and stay there. So we know we can do it. So you believe, by bringing up the bill clinton past, by bringing up you say is enabling by Hillary Clinton, is part of that strategy to lower democratic turnout . Its part of the strategy to remind people of who Hillary Rodham clinton actually is. If others arent going to hold her account for her full record, then, yes, we will. And her record includes naming and blaming women who came in contact with her husband, whether it was consensual relationships like monica lewinsky, an intern at the white house with him as president , completely debasing the office of the white house the office of the presidency or jennifer flowers, 12year affair while he was governor of arkansas. Or these women who he sexually assaulted. Juanita roderick, kathleen willy, paula jones. He gave he settled a Sexual Harassment case for 850,000 with paula jones. In 1998. The last time i didnt sexually harass someone at the campaign, i didnt pay them 850,000. Your candidate has settled numerous lawsuits without admitting any guilt on a whole number of things. Are you implying that settling a lawsuit is implying guilt . If so, it means your candidate is guilty of an awful of lot of things, no . For that, really, as governor of arkansas, using state troopers to procure a win for you . Youre saying settling a lawsuit is questionable and raising questions about guilt. Your client settles lawsuits all the time, even though he says he doesnt, right . No, what im saying is, what was Hillary Clintons conduct towards those women the New York Times no, youre implying that settling a lawsuit implies guilt. Donald trump has settled numerous lawsuits, including the Racial Discrimination lawsuit years ago without accepting any guilt. Are you saying there may be some guilt there . Im saying that i believe that paula jones, is what im saying. And i believe that that 14,000 a year Arkansas State employee being brought up to the Governors Hotel room and him exposing herself as all the evidence said. Whats relevant about this to Hillary Clinton . Its very simple. Its the way she treated these women after the fact. Its the way she blamed and shamed the women. Read the New York Times piece from about ten days ago, anderson, it was terrific. Days after the New York Times endorsed Hillary Clinton for president , they turned around and talked about the way Hillary Clinton and her cohorts always went after these women. The other person i want everyone to know is a household name is Kathy Shelton. She was raped at the age of 12. And Hillary Clinton defended her defended the rapist, got him off in a plea deal, and a year later laughed about the tactics. This is before the rape shield laws were on the books in arkansas donald trump has made this very front and center and weve covered this a lot. My question is, do you believe thats going to depress democratic vote, and clearly you do, because you believe this is a strategy thats wise to pursue. So, i believe that voters should know who Hillary Clinton is. And ill let them decide whether its enough for them to stay home or come to the polls. But they ought to know, i want Kathy Shelton to become a household name. Its a disgusting case and it shows its always hillary first. She was acting as a public defender, which is in our constitution, but donald trump she didnt need to laugh the next day. The next year, about the tactics. Donald trump told bill oreilly tonight that women have been coming up to him in recent days saying that theyve heard what hes dismissing as locker room talk over the years. Does that depress you, that this is so common that a lot of women are coming up to donald trump saying, theyve heard this all the time. Did you say, does it depress me . Yeah. That so Many American women have heard, allegedly heard men talk about Sexual Assault . If youre talking to me about the coarseening of our culture, yes. I can say, particularly as a mother of four small children. I can talk about the coarsening of our culture, but i dont think thats why were discussing this. I will tell you that monica langleys own piece, which im glad youre discussing and you have on your panel tonight, she was noting in her piece, the number of republicans who wanted donald trump to step aside over the weekend has really lessened in the latest wall street journal nbc poll. She says in there he may have stopped the bleeding from this. Yes, if we want to talk about the coarsening of the culture, i hope you devote a whole two hours to it and i would be happy to be a guest, but ill also offer up some other guests. I dont appreciate many of the things that are said in our political discourse or things that are said on social media. You and i am are attacked every single day, im sure. I hardly read it. I never knew i was so stupid or so ugly until social media, anderson, im sure the same same with me. Yes, but again, dont let it rock your world, i know you dont. So that as it relates to a president ial campaign, why cant we talk about the issues . I was really just amazed that team hillary after everything came out the other night, they said, she just wants to talk about the issues. She wants to have a debate about the issues. Really, is that what their ads are about . Is that the filth they peddle every day about my candidate, donald trum. But lets just be clear, the reason this has been making headlines is because donald trump was discussing and bragging about Sexual Assault 11 years ago on a bus. Its not Hillary Clinton who put those words in his mouth. Anderson, first of all, in case anybodys wondering, because somehow read my mind after this broadcast, i have said my opinion on that is expressed privately and publicly is a combination of Donald Trumps, melania trumps, and mike pences statements from the weekend. I find those comments to be disgusting and reprehensible and im really glad that he apologized. And i think when somebody seeks mercy and forgiveness and means it, and i was with him the entire time, including when he learned about this, people ought to think about that. They ought to think about when people ask but years later, when asked if it was okay to call his daughter a nice piece of you know what . Yeah, i see that all over cnn, i dont know if youre trying to drive a wedge between those two. But good luck. Theyre very close and have a beautiful relationship. No, just why would a father say that about his own daughter . I dont understand. The question i have is, why cant cnn cover obamacare and isis and radical islamic terrorism. We do, all the time. No, you dont. Respectfully, you dont. 94 Million People you guys should know we do, because you watch cnn all day long. You dont want to cover it now, you want to talk over. You dont want to hear that there are over 60 million women in poverty on president obamas watch. And Hillary Clinton has been fighting for women and children for 30 years. Wheres the deliverable. Where is the product. You clearly dont want to address what your candidate said about his own daughter or allowed others to say about his own daughter in front of him, which a lot of people think is kind of odd. Ive addressed it many times. Ive addressed it many times. Ive addressed what he said this weekend many times. I havent heard you address the thing on howard stern about a nice piece of you know what . O address something he said on howard stern ten years ago or 15 years ago, but you dont want to talk about the fact that Hillary Clinton defended a rapist successfully, and i want everybody to remember the name Kathy Shelton. She deserves a hearing. I know cnn did not want to put her on cnn the other night when she was in the debate hall. I thought it was incredibly courageous and brave of her to be there. I should just point out, we did an entire piece on that case jus
