But republicans applauded the speech as a muchneeded exclamation point on the Trump Campaign reboot. Bush white house spokesman Ari Fleischer said trump gives powerful welldelivered takedown on whats wrong. Well done. Two things remain to be seen. Will the new scripted more disciplined trump attract more supporters to his side . And chris, how long will the new scripted more disciplined trump be around. Will he last . Chris . A couple of good questions there. John roberts reporting from outside trump tower, thanks for that. Trump is clearly not your typical president ial candidate. A new election filing showed hes charting new ground when it comes to campaign financing. A review of sec reports from may showed that the Campaign Paid millions for trumps corporate products and the candidate also received payments. Chief washington correspondent james rosen tonight looks inside the numbers. I have ivanka and eric and don sitting there. Run the company kids, have a good time. Im going to do it for america. Thats how donald trump answered when fbns Maria Bartiromo asked what would become of trumps empire if he wins the white house. However trumps filing with the federal Elections Commission show him as actively engaging his companies as vendors. The Trump Campaign pays for the use of his private plane. It leases office space in trump tower. Pays rent and catering fees and contracts with trumpowned firms to purchase logoemblazoned hats, bottled water and wine among other things. Associated press reported that among the relative pittance he has raised, 6. 2 million has gone back to Trump Companies and entities which might make some people wonder am i going to a campaign that is spending wisely . Trump sees no reason to enrich his rivals in the Real Estate Market or other areas of the private sector in which his own companies compete. Its all 100 legal so long as reasonable commercial rates are charged. Kenneth gross of a law firm is a leading elections campaigns and finance attorney who has advised major figures in both parties from Daniel Moynihan to bob dole and mike bloomberg. He may promote that as part of his business acumen. Im a candidate and make money. That can come back to haunt as well. People may say wait a minute, it looks like too much selfdealing here. Trump also appears multiple times in her fec filings. Federal Campaign Finance officials told us he appears simply to have reimbursed his out of pocket expenditures. Some analysts warn against secondguessing trumps raising of money. He had 57 million, gretchen and he took out 16 candidates, thats 3. 35 million per kill. She had 183 million. She took out one 74yearold socialist who wasnt a democrat until 23 months ago. Through may 31st, roughly 10 of Trump Campaign expenditures went to trump products or services. Ohm one notable instance, when the pga withdrew at a trumpowned golf course has the Trump Campaign seemed to hurt the trump portfolio. Chris . James, thanks. After saying for months he was done with the senate regardless of how his president ial campaign went. Marco rubio announced today he will seek reelection in november. I sat down with rubio and asked him what changed his mind. I know that people in politics dont like to admit they changed their mind. But i changed my mind. And people sort of deserve to know why. Theres a lot of reasons. I think its clearly outlined that im frustrated by whats happening here in the senate. Most americans are, with the gridlock and the inability to move forward on things, the senate is a place where you can serve your constituents with constituent service, its rewarding. I said that during the campaign. Its a place where you can hopefully be able to move on some major issues, a lot hasnt happied enough. We were able to do a little of that the deepest reason was that no matter who wins the president ial election, the senates role on being able to act as a check and balance. I think are going to matter more at 2017 than they perhaps ever have in our history. Thats saying a lot, given what were facing now. I deeply believe i can contribute to that. I want to contribute to that. I think whether its Hillary Clinton or donald trump, were going to need senators willing to encourage them to make the right decisions, but ultimately to stand up to them. It would be obvious if clinton wins, that you would want to be a check. Youre saying if donald trump wins, you want to be a check. Sure, i dont think its a mystery that i disagree with donald on a number of issues, i dont think its a mystery that i think some of the things he has said, particularly many of the things he said about women and minorities are things i find to be offensive. Ill continue to encourage him to make the right choices on some issues. I respect the fact that we may disagree on an approach to something. If he makes what i believe is the wrong choice, well stand up, well stand up to him. I think ive proven the willingness to do that already. In the past you expressed frustration working with the democratic majority and second working with a democratic president. And the chances are, if the election were held today, according to the polls, you would one where both of those again. You seem to talk in less in terms of what you can get done, than what can you stop. Thats the reality of the way washington is today. Theres no illusion about it i have to be prepared, i am to come back and dot best i can, within the washington we have today, hopefully we can change that and get some positive things done for the country. The frustration is there, but the majority of americans have that frustration. Its why congress polls at 3 or 4 . Because both parties are frustrated by the inability of congress to address major issues before this country. But there is a very valuable role for the senate to play as a check and balances the way the constitution designed the senate to be. Im prepared to be a check and balance no matter who wins, clearly i disagree with everything that Hillary Clinton stands for for the most part so god forbid she were elected, wed have a lot of work on our hands to stop her agenda. Its possible given my differences of opinion with donald there will be instances ill disagree with what hes doing. Hopefully we can encourage him to do some of the things that we believe in as conservatives and as republicans. Let me ask you a question we know will be an issue in this campaign. During your time in the senate from 2011 until this month, you missed 234 roll call votes, 15 of the total. You got to know some florida voters are going to say he didnt show up for work the first time. First of all, that happened, a lot of it was because i ran for president , the same reason quite frankly why Bernie Sanders missed every vote this year up until a day ago. Its the same reason why everyone running for president missed votes. Before that, yeah i missed votes, a lot of that this to do with things my kids were doing and my mom was sick for a couple of years. Im proud of the work we did and the things we achieved in our time there. Its frustrating we couldnt get more done. But given where our country is today and the uncertainty were facing in this election, i really truly believe that the senate needs to be filled with people who are willing to stand up to a either party when they have bad ideas and are willing to work with them and encourage them to make the right choices. Youve been raising money for another candidate. The republican governor of florida. Heres what you said about him a couple of weeks ago. I have a real good friend ive known for a long time running for the senate. I didnt run, i said i wasnt going to. He got into the race, hes the Lieutenant Governor of florida, i think hes a strong candidate. Hes in the race, im not, i think hes put in time and energy to it he deserves a chance to see where he can take it. Have you talked with the Lieutenant Governor . Absolutely, hes one of my closest friends that i have and he asked me ten days ago to reconsider my decision and to actually run. Does that mean hes dropping out and giving you clear path . Hes asking me to run. It wont be a clear path. A clearer path . There was no scenario under which if he was in the race i would ever be in this race. It was only when he told me that, not only did he think i should run, he wanted me to run. That i took the time to go back to florida and spend the weekend, fathers day weekend with my family. In between pressurecleaning the driveway and watching the nba finals on sunday. We spent a lot of time praying and thinking about this. And we had two paths before us. One was the one we had originally intended, the path that would have been more comfortable and politically quite frankly perhaps even better. But its a family together, we chose to try to make a difference, not just in the outcome of this election, but what the next six years will look like for america. You say you will support donald trump and youve even said you would speak for him at the convention. Given all of his continuing controversies, given the comments he made about the Mexican American judge and the Trump University case. Some people are saying where are your principles . A lot of think things that donald has said and done, that i disagree with. But i disagree with everything Hillary Clinton stands for on every issue. With the recognition that yes, i ran for president , i wanted to be the nominee. Not the choice i wanted us to have. Thats what the voters have chosen. Thats the choice before us now. I have to choose from whats in front of us. Not what we wish would have happened. Do you still want to be president . Do you still entertain hopes of that . Im done giving these unequivocal answers about anything. Other than to say that three things, number one, we dont know was going to happen in this election. Before anybody answers that question, we have to see what happens in this election. Second if i want to run for president in 2020, running for reelection in this environment with a real risk of lose something a tough race, not the ideal political decision to make. And the third is this, i am prepared to come back and pour my heart and soul into the senate, as it is, not as i wish it were. And try to change it and the u. S. Senator from florida, we can make a difference, ill feel fulfilled by that. Senator, thank you for talking with us, it will be fun covering you. It will be an interesting race. Thank you, sir. Thank you. Up next, the lawmakers break the rules on capitol hill. First, heres what some of our fox affiliates around the country are covering tonight.
