Ended like a week ago, to pretend were unified without unifying, we go into the fall at half strength. Lou trump, for his part last night said hes already done the work of uniting people who matter, Republican Voters. I think the big thing is in the history of the Republican Party, nobody has ever gotten more votes than ive gotten in the primaries. Millions and millions of votes additional and i guess by the time we finish, its many millions of votes ahead of anybody else, any other republican in the primary. Thats a big thing. Lou a big thing indeed, we take that up and more with former Reagan White House political director ed rollins, former u. N. Ambassador john bolton. Also tonight, Bernie Sanders celebrating landslide victory over Hillary Clinton in West Virginia. A total of 20 wins compared to clintons 26. While senator sanders doesnt have a mathematical shot at democratic nomination, it does make democrats wonder if clinton cant defeat sanders, how will she defeat trump . And Vice President joe biden couldnt win a fight with his ego and decided he couldnt resist being a pain in hillarys back. I feel confident that hillary will be the nominee and confident shell be the next president. I planned on running. Its an awful thing to say. I think i would have been the best president , but it was the right thing not just for my family, for me. Lou as you will note, there are odd moment in this primary election season, and tonight well recognize the sheer absurdity of much thats gone on in both Political Parties as we take up the lighter side of politics with red eyes andy levy and joanne nosuchinsky. Top story, the fight over the leadership of the Republican Party, the battle over the 2016 agenda, and in all likelihood, the future of the country. Donald trump has seized the leadership of the Republican Party and done so in part by expanding the appeal of the gop, energizing more voters and enlarging the republican tent. Hes had nearly 11 million Republican Voters come out to support him, but a republican leader who, well, was second on the failed 2012 ticket who has no standing beyond 7 months in office as speaker of the house suddenly wants everyone to know he has reservations about donald trump as the Party Standard bearer. Paul ryans grandiose refusal to endorse trump is drawing the ire of rankandfile republicans. John roberts is on capitol hill tonight with our report. Reporter lou, im hearing tomorrows meeting wont be a discussion of the issues, more just a statement of principles. House speaker ryans office is downplaying the significance of the meeting saying its not the most important thing in a busy legislative week. When it comes to president ial politics, it is high up there on the significance scale. The Trump Campaign is playing down expectations for tomorrows summit with House Speaker paul ryan. Telling fox news they dont think ryan will offer endorsement after a single meeting. Ryans support isnt all that important for trump. A two, on the scale of one to ten, one person told me. I have a lot of respect for paul, and well have a very good meeting, i hope. Hes a very good man, wants whats good for the party and well have a positive result. Reporter ryan is not yet ready to throw his support behind trump. Sources say trumps proposed ban on muslim and slow denunciation of kkk leader david duke stuck in ryans craw. Hes keeping an open mind about the presumptive nominee. These are conversations were going to have. I really dont know him, i met him once in 2012, we had a good conversation in march on the phone. We need to get to know each other and we as a Leadership Team are enjoying the fact we have a chance to meet with him. Reporter while the two differ on significant issues, trump says they share Common Ground on the principles of job creation, Economic Growth and tax cuts. Ryan today stressed the importance of the party marching in lockstep toward november. This election is too important to go in half strength. We need real unification of our party. After a tough primary, thats going to take some efforts. Were committed to putting the effort in. Reporter the two may find points of agreement, trump is Standing Firm on the issue that divides them, insisting he would pursue a temporary ban of muslims in the u. S. The ban wouldnt likely apply to muslims who have documents and intentions are known. People like the newly elected mayor of london, england. Slightly softer stance aside. Trump insists some ban is necessary. We have a president that wont use the term radical islamic terrorism. Its a real problem. Well figure it out and we will get it going, but we have to be extremely careful. In fact, im thinking about setting up a commission, perhaps headed by Rudy Giuliani to take a very serious look at this problem. Reporter trump took another step toward party unity with a highprofile pop culture endorsement. Duck dynasty robertson said Duck Commander is all in for donald trump. Lou . Lou john, thank you so much. John roberts. On the democratic side Bernie Sanders walking away with another victory in West Virginia, proving there are plenty of voters feeling the bern. Hillary clinton giving her democratic rival very little play today, instead she focused on donald trump and some of the mainstream liberal medias hysterical and laughable efforts to somehow influence trump to release his tax returns against his will being if. Mike emanuel brings us up to date in this report from capitol hill. Reporter after beating Hillary Clinton last night in West Virginia, Bernie Sanders in montana appealed to prominent democrats to help him with math problem in getting to partys nomination. I say to the super delegates in the states where we won landslide victories, listen to the people of your state [ cheers and applause ] reporter Hillary Clinton back on the campaign trail in southern new jersey ahead of the june 7th primary. Indiana last week and West Virginia last night two are sanders victories in States Clinton won in 2008. Today clinton responded to supportner her audience and attacked donald trump on his tax returns. My husband and i have released 33 years of tax returns. We got 8 years on our website right now. [ applause ] so you got to ask yourself why doesnt he want to release them. Yeah, well, were going to find out. Reporter trump told the Associated Press he will not release his returns until the irs audit is done, even if thats not until after the november election. For clintons team there are troubling numbers in the West Virginia exit polls. 50 of the womens vote went to sanders and nearly half of sanders supporters, 43 would rather back trump in november with 27 saying theyd back clinton. Sanders isnt feel anything sympathy about hillary simultaneously battling a primary opponent in trump. We have had to take on the entire democratic establishment. Weve had to take on senators and governors and mayors and members of congress. Thats what we have taken on, please do not moan to me about Hillary Clintons problems. Reporter now clintons team is advertising in kentucky and clintons likely to return there soon, hoping to avoid being embarrassed next week. The presidency is the toughest job in the world, and shes the one who will make a real difference for you. Reporter by spending time and money in kentucky and new jersey, that does not allow clinton to focus her attacks solely on trump. Clearly she does not want to risk limping to the nomination. Lou . Lou mike, thank you very much. Mike emanuel. Tensioned escalating between china and the United States over chinas provocative actions in the south china sea. Chinas defense minister defended militarization of disputed territory saying it is simply responding to repeated patrols of the u. S. Navy in the area. The comments come after a u. S. Warship, the u. S. S. William lawrence, this week sailed within 12 nautical miles of fiery cross reef. 700 acre Artificial Island built a year and a half ago by the chinese. China scrambling two navy jets and three ships to tract missileguided destroyer as it transited the 12mile barrier. Secretary of state john kerry didnt react to the chinese drama saying the United States is going to maintain freedom of navigation. Well take it up with ambassador john bolton tonight. Secretary of state kerry isnt the only important figure aggravated by china. Queen elizabeth ii caught on camera saying chinese officials are very rude. They were very rude during president xi jinpings first state visit to the u. K. Last year. With the Chinese State visit. Seriously, seriously undermined. I hope you dont have problems hearing or seeing as i occasionally do on the lower thirds with small type. Chinas Foreign Ministry refused to address the queens comment only that president xis visit last year was very successful. That sounds a lot like something the Obama White House might say, doesnt it . They have their royalty and we have ours. Were coming right back with much more, stay with us. Donald trump wants to unite the Republican Party but speaker ryan isnt falling in line. Whos he working for . I want to be a part of the unifying process so were at full strength this fall so we can win this election. Lou we take up tomorrows highly anticipated ryantrump meeting next with former white house political director ed rollins. And drivers normally try to protect their cars, daredevil drivers taking to the skies. Lou republicans are now demanding an explanation from facebook after reports that former facebook staffers excluded links to conservative political stories. Senator john thune, the leader of the commerce committee, launched the inquiry, thune has given Mark Zuckerberg until may 24th to respond to the charges. Turning to the campaign trail, donald trump says hes not planning to modify his substance or style for the general election. In a New York Times interview, trump explained the times pointing out trump is right, winning about the same 40 share of the popular vote through the course of the primaries. More by the way, than any of his two immediate predecessor as the nominee of the party, that is governor mitt romney and senator john mccain. Joining us now, former Reagan White House political director, Great America pac strategist ed rollins. Good to have you with us. Thank you very much. Lou last night talking about the elections, i mean trump taking nebraska, taking West Virginia, moving, what, he needs not many more to get to the 1237. Hes going to win big in california. Nothing stopping him. He gets to run a Campaign Theme that he wants to run on, and hes right. He has done it his way and a lot of doubters, including myself, early on, were there, and he basically took the best field ive seen since 1980 and crushed them. Crushed them. Lou we all talked about the field in the beginning, but he is one person i respect mightily said he walked into a dark alley with 16 other people and hes the only guy who walked out. What is the secret of donald trump . Well, theres an honesty about his campaign, hes out there saying it like it is, and thats not one of the listings you see political Scientists Say the powers of a president. Hes not telling it like it stop. This country, they want someone to tell it like it is. They dont want business as usual in washington, d. C. They want someone whos going to get economy moving again, and basically want someone whos going to listen to them, and i think thats his campaign. Hes listened to the voters and talked to the voters and inspired the voters to talk in record numbers. Lou you know whats impressed me is he is using the plural when he starts talking in personal reference. Hes talking about we, talking about us as he looks to the voters. Talk about the people being the elites, rather than whatever the you want to call that class, the washington cartel. Thats a big move. Its a big move and its very effective. And i think hes a tough guy, i think hes proven a lot of people hes not a celebrity. He really is a guy that basically is lou can you tell me how people decided he was just a celebrity . He is a multibillionaire, hes built businesses, doesnt make sense for me. Been a dominant player on the scene for 30 years to. Say he cant go to washington and do things he needs to do is absurd. I think were going to watch a very Interesting Campaign this fall. Lou un, the people are saying things like that, and here im talking about mitt romney who keeps sort of chirping in the darkness, and paul ryan, no one even knows, im serious, the journalists who cover him dont know what the dickens hes talking about theyve become liliputionlike. Paul ryan is a guy whos knew on the job, hes respected by some of his colleagues on budgets and other things, but cant get his budget through the congress. Cant get the votes there. Lou they respect him but never done a dog gone thing . Thats true. The only way hes going to have success is to become part of the Trump Organization other in sense these are the things we want to run on together. See where they can find Common Ground and make it happen. Otherwise, hes going to fight trump, rolled over and bowled over and lose members internally and externally, it would be a very foolish mistake. Lou were seeing that begin already. Ed, thank you very much. Thank you. Lou a quick note, ill be appearing on the Oreilly Factor to talk about, amongst other things, donald trump, who said he wont be releasing his tax returns. Heres a sneak peek. You know, after the first billion, i lose interest. These guys, come on dobbs is an honest guy, you know youre going to get hammered. Lou how can i . Because i have a superior mind that competes, i think, well, at least fairly favorably with our own gusto. You heard the folks laughing, didnt you . You can catch our full discussion, bill and i had a hoot, we think you will, too. 8 00 eastern on the fox news channel. You dont want to miss it. Vote on our poll tonight wed like to hear from you.

Up next, donald trump taking the high road in confrontation with speaker ryan. I think it will be very interesting. Look forward to the meeting and i think positive results. Hes a very good man, he wants whats good for the party and i think were going to have positive results. Lou speaker ryan and that meeting, the subject of my commentary next. Stay with us.

Lou a few thoughts on the increasingly isolated and clearly politically perplexed speaker paul ryan. Ryan is beginning to make hamlet look broad minded, strong willed and decisive. Ryans peculiar calls for republican unity as he simultaneously insists Donald Trumps rise as the Republican Partys presumptive president ial nominee has been so fast, so shocking, that he has been left breathless and unsteady and uncertain as to whether he should be part of the very unity he himself is calling for. Confused . Yes, well most people are about mr. Ryan. Ryan topped himself, one day before ryan and trump are set to meet, the speaker said republicans cant pretend the party is unified. No on one has suggested theyve been the slightest otherwise, so ryan continues to say little about mostly nothing, but whatever plagues the wretched woebegone wisconsinite is lining up with colleagues in the house and trump. I said im going to get behind the nominee whoever the nominee is, now that the presumptive nominee is donald trump, im getting behind donald trump. Yeah, im going to support the nominee. People in particular districts need to do whatever they need to do to win their election. Its different for the leadership of our party because they represent all of us. Lou a Senior Republican Senate source telling fox news ryans hesitation is costing the party valuable fundraising time needed to prepare for what will be a difficult battle against democrats in the fall. In my opinion, ryan has become a caricature of himself. Who has won more favor with democrats by collaborating with the white house than anything hes done for the republican conference. Ryan is, in fact, the sort of professional politician tha
