And kim jongun gains power, his sister gets more influence in the communist regime. Im wolf blitzer. Youre in the situation room. The Republican Party started putting itself back together after Donald Trumps disruptive primary campaign left the gop bitterly divided. The presumptive nominee came to washington to meet with paul ryan and other Party Leaders. Ryan who sent out shock waves when he said he wasnt ready to support trump apparently still isnt ready. He called it a good start but gained no endorsement after their meeting. There were pledges all around to preserve party unity but many still differ with trump on key issues. Others take strong exception to the strong rhetoric. For his part, trump tweeted after the meetings and then quoting him now, things working out really well, exclamation point. Well have full coverage all of the days top stories. Lets begin with jim acosta. Donald trump and paul ryan met facetoface but they still dont necessarily see eye to eye. Reporter thats right, wolf. Donald trump is all but declaring victory after his performance on capitol hill but left without the endorsement of House Speaker paul ryan and they are saying that trump needs to tone down his act. At least they are all using the same word. Unity. It was as expected a circus as donald trump came to washington in search of a gop big tent large enough to held his campaign and the Party Establishment he hopes to win over. I thought he was a very good personality and a very warm and genuine person. Reporter first up, House Speaker paul ryan and as he hinted, perhaps not for long. I think this is going in a positive direction and in 45 minutes you dont litigate all of the processes and issues and principles that we are talking about. Reporter trump shined away from the media but tweeted great day in d. C. With paul ryan and Republican Leadership. Things working out very well. There are policy disputes we will have. Theres no two ways about it. Reporter while aides say their meeting was not heated, they remain split on critical issues. Ryan sounds like a democrat on medicare and Social Security. Its my intention to leave Social Security the way it is. Not increase the age and to leave it as it. Medicare and Social Security are going bankrupt. We need to reform it for my generation. Reporter and there were no reasons for optimism and disagreements. Trump tweeted meeting with Mitch Mcconnell was great. There are ways to talk about these issues that is not offensive but make the point that we are all for a secure border. Reporter pro immigration groups even delivered taco bowls to members of congress. Trump tweeted about his love for mexican food and hispanics. Harry reid went further. Since Republican Leaders are all in for donald trump, we can only assume he approves of trump calling hispanics, rapists and murderers. We can only assume he agrees with the view that women are dogs and pigs. But the Trump Campaign is feeling better after todays primary. One trump aide told me and another official told me another endorsement is just a matter of time adding that ryan is expected to jump on board fairly soon as he still has a lot of members to appease. A baker spokesman confirms he met with trump earlier today. Lets bring in our chief National Correspondent dana bash. Take us behind the scenes. What are you learning . That for the most part, people really thought that this was successful in that even those who are very much not in trumps camp, never wanted him to be even close to being the nominee understand that for the good of their party and ultimately beating Hillary Clinton, that this has to happen. There has to be a united front and, particularly, wolf, when it comes to paul ryan. Even just again walking the halls and talking to people that really, really liked ryan, they were concerned that what ryan did here last week would hurt republicans. Perhaps even hurt their majority, which is a 30seat majority in the house because a lot of their districts are really ruby red and really pro trump. So they really felt that even though ryan didnt endorse, he took an important step to try to bring the Party Together. So is there consensus among the Republican Leadership in the house and senate, for that matter, that these meetings were a success . That there were definitely was an important first step because, remember, donald trump really didnt know most of these people. But ill tell you one really interesting fact that i learned today was how much of a role Reince Priebus, the rnc chair, seemed to have behind the scenes over the past week and a half in bringing this together. He got a lot of push back over the past many, many months from a lot of republicans in the way he handled donald trump but because he kept an open line of communication from people outside of the rnc with donald trump, established a relationship with him, they really have a sense of trust one another, he was able to talk to donald trump all last week, work him through the process of helping him get here through today and did the same kind of thing with paul ryan who is a longtime friend of Reince Priebus. So in many ways, Reince Priebus is the unsung hero of this. And he was the only other person in that meeting between ryan and trump. Precisely. With the speaker of the house as well. Dana, thanks very much. The chairman of the Republican National committee is joining us now live. Thanks for joining us. Hey, thank you, wolf. Appreciate it. Why isnt the speaker yet ready to endorse donald trump . Well, i think, you know, its very sincere in that most people and i think even donald trump would agree with this, people thought this thing had another 30 days in it and i guess people were hoping that they were going to be able to kick the tires a little longer and get their talking points and positions straight by the time this happened and suddenly it happened. And so now a lot of folks are faced with the position of, hey, i want to get to know donald trump and see if were on the same page on a few things. Today was a great day for that to happen between paul ryan and donald trump and i can only describe it as extremely positive. If you saw paul ryans press conference afterwards, it was a very discouraging day for the party. They did issue the statement at the same time and said the speaker has to get, into his words, into the weeds of several sensitive policy issues, issues where he clearly disagrees with donald trump. He and his aides have spoken about some of these issues. Heres donald trump articulating positions that clearly the speaker doesnt like. Listen to this. Im the king of dead. I love dead. This is the United States government. First of all, you never have to default because you print the money. I hate to tell you. Okay . We are out of control. We have no idea who is coming into our country. We have no idea if they love us, if they hate us, if they want to bomb us. Donald j. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the United States. They are bringing drugs, they are bringing crime, they are rapist and some, i assume are good people. I will build a great, great wall on our southern border and i will have mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words. Folks, were going to build a wall. Believe me. I know youre not going to give me all of the details of what happened behind closed doors but did they resolve some of the significant differences during your nearly onehour meeting today . Well, suffice it to say that there was a lot of agreement on most issues weiso i think that why it was a positive meeting chld i. I think youve seen donald trump clarify that in the montage. I think its a person starting to move into the general election mode and getting it and really working hard at being someone that can unify the party and also going after Hillary Clinton and i dont think we have to worry about donald trump pulling any punches against Hillary Clinton. What did he clarify . Well, i hate to spoil the fun, wolf, but im not going to get into the details because that wouldnt be my role and i have to respect the confidences of the meeting. I can tell you that there was a lot of agreement on almost all things that were discussed but they are going to continue talking and it was a cooperative, goodspirited meeting with Good Chemistry and i can just tell you i dont think it could have turned out any better. Apparently donald trump charmed a lot of people, a lot of republicans in washington today if you look at the statements from the people who emerged from those meetings but a few days ago he said he couldnt support the speakers agenda. That was a bold statement after the speaker told jake tapper he could not necessarily yet endorse donald trump. So the question is, what happens next . Where do you guys go from here . I know that they are committed to working together quickly. Perhaps even as soon as tomorrow and the next day and getting some more conversation started between the two of them and i know they are committed to that and its a positive thing as well but its now in their hands and my role is to do whatever i can within the realm of reason to build and unify and bring people together. Can donald trump win over the key groups that you know you have to capture to win over the white house, women, minorities, young people. Does he have the ability nationwide to win over the supporters . I think he has the ability. Thats why were trying to put people every ten blocks in black and hispanic and asian communities with people working around the clock and getting to know voters, talking to people that we believe in, identifying turnout. All of the mechanics. I know a lot of the boring stuff but this is what a Competent National party does and obviously tone and ten or matters and thats something that has to continue. And so im confident that people understand what needs to get done and im looking forward to that happening. So you think he could bring in some of the minority voters . Absolutely. I mean, you look at the turnout across within our own primary. I know its not transferable to a general but certainly you see that and you see that promise in black and hispanic communities. Now, as a party, weve done much better. If you look at 2014 how we did with corey gardener almost winning the hispanic vote, 28 of the black vote in ohio, it didnt just happen on its own. We have to do better as a party. Im committed to it. Its one of my cornerstones as chairman to be committed on a yearround bases to work reaching out to black and i wasnt to do better and im hoping that this fall will be an improvement. One final question because i know you have to run. On the whole issue of funding the campaign, he managed to win the republican for all practical purposes president ial nomination. Where do you, as leader of the Republican Party and he worked together and now you have to raise, what, a billion dollars, how do you do that . Well, i dont know what the number is going to be, wolf. We didnt raise that through the rnc during the Romney Campaign and that had been going on through for 18 months, not selffunded. I dont know what the number is going to be but usually you have a joint fundraising agreement where you take the amount of money that a campaign can raise and the amount of money that the party can raise, amuch bigger number, and you combine those two buckets and other entities and come up with one joint fundraising agreement that you file with the federal Election Commission and thats all negotiated and discussed and were actually in the middle of that right now. Reince priebus, who has a tough job as chairman of the Republican National committee, thanks for joining us. You get. Thank you, wolf. Thank you. Into when we come back, well speak to a key donald trump supporter and a whole lot more information coming in as we speak. Well be right back.

Were following the extraordinary meeting between donald trump and Congressional Republicans as they discuss how to bridge the significant differences between trump and factions of the Republican Party. Joining me is a key donald trump supporter. Congressman, thanks very much for joining us. Happy to be here. Wasnt your reaction to todays meeting . I think it was good. Obviously speaker ryan and donald trump need to get to know each other and that was important to speaker ryan and im glad that donald trump reached out and they met. It was a good meeting. Do you think its wrong that the speaker has still not been able to endorse donald trump . I dont think theres any question that any republican here in washington should be behind our nominee. You know, i havent been shy about talking about it because whats the option . Theres nobody behind door number three. We know who is behind door number one and thats Hillary Clinton. I dont know how anyone here can believe that allowing Hillary Clinton to pick the Supreme Court justice, secretary of homeland security, health and Human Services and other agencies would be better for republicans. You know, i think i understand it was a tough primary but donald trump is clearly the choice of the people and we need to get behind them now. He did get almost 11 million votes and more caucuses than anyone else got. But i guess i still want to know, why do you believe and youre a republican congressman, the speaker still cant formally say i endorse you . You know, i cant speak for him. I understand that many here were vested in other candidates and supported other candidates and it was a very hardfought primary. But that being said, the person that you favored or not, i really hope that we can get this behind us real soon and realize that there is no other choice for republicans here other than donald trump. I mean, we need to have a republican in the white house if we want to change the direction that the country is going and being reluctant to get behind him i dont think helps us. What do you think are the two biggest or three different differences between the speaker and donald trump . Well, you know, paul ryan is really a policy wonk. He has an agenda that is very important to him and thats good. You know, its good that he has that direction and that will be very helpful to donald trump and i think in his own mind he wanted to be sure that donald trump is on the same page of what that agenda is and that the republican principles that matter are something thats a priority for him. That being said, this could be a great combination of paul ryan who was a policy junket, that just loves policy and donald trump who is a people concern connected with the american people. Once they get together, i think its going to be a good team. Lets see if they can. An important step forward today. Clearly by both accounts but they are still not there yet.
