Greta goes on the record in a couple of seconds. Tonight, on the record, all your news right here, donald trump is the last man standing and now odds are he will face off with former secretary of state Hillary Clinton and tonight right here on the record g. O. P. Chairman Reince Priebus the man who must bring the Republican Party together. Also Donald Trumps son eric trump is here and two men who we are hearing vp whispers about. Former speaker Newt Gingrich and trumps main man on Foreign Policy senator Jeff Sessions. All of them are here in just seconds. Plus, on the record, on the ground in coal country where some miners are serious at secretary Hillary Clinton. Lost at sea, tonight the father of one of two teenage boys who disappeared off the coast is here. Cracking the code on this
iphone. Right now, back to the campaign trail where donald trump is the rncs prepare summive nominee. Will all republicans rally around trump . Stop trump wing of the Republican Party appears to be rabidly running out of options. We are suspending our campaign. What ted did is really a very brave thing to do. And a smart thing to do. We want to bring unity to the Republican Party. If office holders, party regulars, Party Officials will begin to fall in line. The Republican Party by the way is much more united than the democratic party. They will come together in unit with common cause with a common purpose. Going to win in november. If you are not for donald trump, you functionally are for Hillary Clinton. This will be a much billinger Republican Party three months from now. Mr. Chairman, nice to see you. Nice to see you too, greta. I dont know if you said to me on camera or off camera, you told me there
would be no contested convention and that you would have your nominee anyway, i guess you were right i also said i think it is possible that we would have more clarity more democrats have it sooner. I think certainly if you look at what is happening with Hillary Clinton she loses indiana. She is spending the money that she want to do spend on the ground game in the data operation on this primary and we have been ready for years now and we are just so much better than we have ever been before. Well, except that each candidate always brings a challenge and one of the challenges you have with this candidate he has a very high unfavorable. How do you intend to move that . He is going to have an opportunity to be president ial, to talk to the American People about his ideas. And there is going to be time to heal, greta. Look, we had contentious primary. It was 17 candidates. Feelings are still very raw. So, im not pretending that
this isnt going to take a while. We had campaigns that were serious operations that were very deep and a lot of money was spent. This wasnt one can at that time at one level and then a bunch of others far below. These were serious operations. Its going to take time. The focus is going to be off of each other and the focus is going to be on hillary now. We are going to expose her for who she is. Did you speak to donald trump since the polls closed last night in indiana . I have spop spoke to him a couple times since the polls closed, yeah. I get the sense that he understands that this is a different ballgame now. This is not primary season. This is not pointing fingers at each other. This is about winning the white house, about our country, about Hillary Clinton. I think he gets that. Well, he took a couple swipes at you and the rnc saying you all are rigged and everything else. Fence . Well, we have, greta. I mean, weve talked many times since then. I think youve noticed over the last couple weeks he hasnt mentioned us and certainly he has been very kind in public about the rnc and us. Hook, we have built something very huge here. Without the rnc. So the fact of the matter is, functional, operational, National Party has its act together on the ground is absolutely necessary. So, without us, you cant win. The truth is we are here. Were having a convention in cleveland. Were going to have l presumptive nominee at some point. Obviously he has got to get to the 1237. He will. He doesnt have any opponents. Is he going to join the Republican Party we are going to be prepared when that happens. Well, its been an interesting several months in your party. And we will continue to watch and congratulations on finally having a nominee. 17 down to one. Anyway, mr. Chairman, thanks for joining us, sir. Thank you, greta. What is next for presumptive g. O. P. Nominee donald trump . He is the last man standing and this is what he just told bill oreilly in an interview you will see right after on the record. The Clinton Campaign will go after you through surrogates. Moveon, these sleazy left wing websites are going to tear you up. Are you going to respond to that if Hillary Clinton takes the high road and doesnt do any of that . Im going to be able to figure it out. We had 17 people and i will figure it out with hillary. Depends where she is coming from. If she wants to go the low road im fine with that if she wants to go to the high road which i would probably prefer i would be fine with that. Oneaof Donald Trumps children, eric trump goes on the record. Eric goes on the record. Very well how are you . Last night was a big
night for the Republican Party and for your father and your family. So congratulations. Thank you. It was a great night for us. Really amazing. Eric, as sort of the tradition in politics, at least it was or often is that someone who loses a primary or loses election calls the winner your father receive a call last night from either senator ted cruz or john kasich. I dont think last night. I think last night was too fresh. Definitely be in touch. My father was amazing last night. He really called ted cruz the ultimate competitor. He was. He ran unbelievable race. It was tough and vicious at some point. It was great. He was amazing competitor and he did a really, really great, great job. They will reunite at some point. I really feel that way. You expect that your father will get senator ted cruz back in the tent so to speak. Yeah, i really do. I really do. Is your father working on getting a Vice President ial nominee . Has that discussion gun begun . It has. My father is going to find a worker as a v. P. Candidate. Not going to be somebody who fill as bucket or appeals to a Certain Group of people. Is he going to find a person who is a doer, a worker who will work night and day and tirelessly to fix the many problems we have in this country and woe have a lot of them. Quite frankly we have so many of them that have been created by obama and hillarys legacy, we have got to get this country back on track. Weave have got to fix the mess we are in right now. We will find a person that will stand by his side to do that. What will be your role, if any in the campaign. I will be back in new york and rubbing our company. We are Building Hotels as you know all over the world and golf courses and everything else. I will be here. Listen, if called on and you know how i have stood by his side the entire campaign. If called on, i will be there in a heart beat. Any decision made whether he will selffund in the general election or not. He is still talking about. Talking about it and considering and talking to the g. O. P. Listen, she is going to come after conservative a war chest. Shy will raise a billion dollars or possibly more. You are going to probably need to go out there and
raise some money. You know, certainly conversations thats being had. We will raise a tremendous amount of money for the g. O. P. As well. Thats something we will do tremendously well andu÷n c something we will work on. When do you think he will have a decision on the Vice President ial nominee . Is he going to look at it very carefully. Is he going to consider a lot of people. Single most important decision. No question about it single most important decision so you dont rush into it. We are getting off a great win last night. It wo unbelievable high. You know, not only as a family and changing history. Were you there. Of course. You were in the room with him while he was watchingbq it . Yeah. It was amazing ivanka and my wife have a napoleon necessary is a and dons wife sitting on the bed. Three guys standing up, don, my father and myself and jared was there as well. Amazing moment. Never in history before has really a businessman run and won the republican nominee. He faced off against 17 people which set all records. Set last person standing. I mean, when cruz, you know, foiblely kind of pulled the
cord last night it was amazing because did he something that no other civilian has done in u. S. History. Just incredible moment. Did he yell anything or what was the first thing he said when the networks, i assume he was watching Fox News Channel when the networks called it for him. He had amazing smile on his face. Honestly im not sure if any words could have done it justice. We put our heart and soul into this the last 10 months. I dont think words could have described it there were certainly high fives that went around the room there were a lot of great smiles and hugs in the room. You know, he did something amazing. He really did something amazing. He did it out of passion and love and he did it because he cares about this country. He wants to make America Great again. Thats why he is in this race. Thats why at his age with his success, thats why he is doing this. He isnt doing this as a joke. He is not doing it as fun. He wants to fix this nation. He wants to put america back into prosperity and regain the respect that quite frankly we have lost around the world. Eric, thank you for joining us. And its going to be, i
think, a long time between now and november. I hope you come back many times. Its going to be a long road. No question about it, greta. Thank you, eric. So with senator cruz dropping out last night and governor kasich dropping out just over two hours ago, get ready for a general election slug fest. The g. O. P. Race is all or nearly all wrapped up and now donald trump is zeroing in on the likely trumpclinton matchup. Hillary clinton is a joke. I dont know that he has any boundaries at all. She was going to beat obama. She was favored to win and she got trumped. She lost. Finally a candidate whose hair gets more attention than mine. She is a liar, wouldnt you say . You only have one lyin ted. I dont think we can use same term for hillary. His bigotry, his bluster, his bullying have become his campaign. I told you she is like a snake with no energy. She doesnt have the strength and she doesnt have the stamina that. This is to me a classic
case of a blustering bullying guy. Crooked hillary, right . She is crooked as you can be. Crooked hillary. And to think they were friends. How wild will this election ride get . Should we fasten our seat belts now. Newt gingrich goes on the record. Good evening, sir. Good evening. This will be brutal. I think it will be one of the wildest elections in american history. Now, most people never i shouldnt say most people. The socalled republican elites and the media are never predicted that trump would win. In fact, you have got nate silver 538 according to your article, according to something you wrote in august are emphatic prediction. Not just regular prediction. Emphatic prediction is simply that trump will not win the nomination. Its not even clear that he is trying to do so. Its fascinating if you go back over the last year and thats why i wrote we do a newsletter twice a week at gingrich productions. When you look at it, all these people said trump was gone. Trump was a joke. Trump would never be there. Now, all the same people are trying to tell you about the general election. And, you have to start by saying since none of them understood trump up through winning the nomination, why would you believe they have a clue what the general election is going to be like. How did so many people get it so wrong . Because the American People are really unhappy. And thats why i think why bernie has surged. The turning point for me and Ross Worthington that works for me went back and found in september that trump would probably be the nominee. Turning point for me was the night of the first fox debate when trump had a collision with megyn kelly and frank luntz did this focus group and they all said trump had lost and everybody in the Mainstream Media got together and said trump watched. And then you watched on facebook and google and twitter. And trump was winning by 65
or 70 . There is something out here happening with the American People that none of the folks in the elet get. Do you know what i think part of it is . That everything is pretty much just fine for the media they all have jobs. We all feed off this stuff. But for the American People, if you actually go out and talk to the American People, things arent so fine. Their wages are stagnant. Things arent great. Nobody ever bothered to go out and talk to them when i Start Talking to people of every background you find whether you are africanamerican or latino or asian american, whether you are a millennial there is sense of anxiety whats coming next and whats going to happen. I think trump intuitive of that, really communicated it appeared he if you notice, he has been gaining strength. You know, for a while they said okay he has got 35 . He will never get 50 . Now he has got 60 . But he will never be able to beat hillary. My question is how could anybody possibly be that certain considering how wrong they were the whole time . As a side is that jimmy carter in 1908 wins right now and reagan won by 10 points in november. One last quick question. Any interest in being Vice President because donald trump says he wants someone who has a background in politics. He had all sorts of nice words to say. Look, im not seeking it i doubt i think its a thousand to one against it but i think you have to Pay Attention if a potential president of the United States talks to you. Has he called you . No. Okay. Just checking. He hasnt called me either. I promise you i will let you know if he calls you. I will be the first to know. Short list. Short list of 2,000. Nice to see you, mr. Speaker. And finance fair its fair to say. Needs Elizabeth Warren already throwing grenades at trump. Heres a sample. Here is what else is real. Donald trump has built his campaign on racism, sexism
and zen know phobia. This tweet there is more enthusiasm donald trump among leaders of the kkk than leaders of the Political Party he now controls. Now, some suggest senator warren is angling to be secretary clintons nominee for Vice President. What about trump . Who is he going to pick . So far trump has only said it will be, quote, experienced politician. The on the record Political Panel is here from the boston globe matt viser and from the Washington Times stephen dinan. Stephen first to you, obviously speaker gingrich is one of these experienced people. Anyway, who do you suggest . Look, Vice President ial nomination is something that a candidate uses to solve a political problem he has, particular time in the campaign. What donald trump chooses will end up being something he has to choose at that moment. Given what he said, there are some people he is probably going to take a look at. One of those is Governor Martinez of new mexico, hispanic woman who obviously checks off a lot of boxes and be very helpful to him. One of those could be governor rick scott of
florida who obviously comes from florida. Has very trumplike approach to politics. Probably a good mesh there. And i got to think that he will take a look at governor christie in particular. The support that christie gave him being the first of the major opponents to come back and endorse him after he dropped out of the election standing by his side literalfully all these races, all these events, there is probably he deserves something from trump. Matt . I agree with stephen on Governor Martinez. I think she solves two problems for trump. Reaching out to hispanics and also women, which is very important for him to shore up. Jeff sessions. First senator to endorse trump has Foreign Policy experience, immigration would be sort of front and center and then speaker gingrich as we just
mentioned has been advising trump and giving him blunt advice which he may want from a Vice President ial pick has experience taking on the clintons and run in this stuff before. I have two thoughts. I might as well play this game as well. One, no one is talking about at least not yet except the New York Times actually mentioned governor mary fallon of oklahoma, she is a woman, she a governor and also served in congress and, of course, that is so important. The political experience. The other is tonight is he lickinguf[ol wounds but governor john kasich. I mean, the republicans if they want to win the white house, they have got to have ohio. And tonight it doesnt look like governor kasich is. The only problem with governor kasich is that the two big trump that trump is goi
