Right now. Tonight, on the record, all your news right here and its a scorched earth and getting worse. A fire the size of chicago, san francisco, washington, d. C. All combined is blazing through homes and buildings, destroying everything in its path. Also Illegal Immigrants are pouring across the Mexican Border into the United States. Do you remember the children flowing over the border in 2014 . Well, finance happening again and now its happening in new alarming numbers. Plus, 2016 news, both bushes and 2012 g. O. P. Nominee mitt romney announcing they cannot support donald trump for president. What about Speaker Paul Ryan . Will he support trump . Speaker ryan making his announcement he would tell you his decision straight ahead. Right now, we are moments away from Donald Trumps first rally in west
virginia. This is also his first rally since being named the presumptive g. O. P. Nominee. And brace yourself, trump, he might come out guns blazing for clinton who right now is also getting attacked left and right for her comments about the Mining Industry. Fox news Griff Jenkins inside trumps rally and earlier today he spoke to miners in the state. Please do not touch or harm a protester. [crowd booing] greta, we are Just Moments Away from trumps first speech as presumptive nominee and as you mentioned the folks here have been on their feet going wild. They are very fired up. A large part of this audience is, as you mentioned, coal miners and we expect trump to speak directly to them. In fact, the West VirginiaCoal Association endorsed trump earlier today. And we were able to go into an active coal mine four miles under ground. Take a look. All right. Here we go. How far do you think we are down . Four miles underground. Life in the mines is dark and dangerous. But its what miners here in West Virginia have been doing for generations. Griff, i want to point out before the miner operator gets to the base of the mine, this is remote to run the miner, this is a new regulation by the pdm that monitors his intake of dust that is he around all day long. Is he going to stay within a certain percentage. If he hates limit. He has to shut down and quit mining coal for the rest of the day. Of course, keeping miners safe and healthy is a top priority in the mines even if that means preparing for the worst. Griff, this is the mine lifeline that they explained to you going outside. See how the cone is tapered here . This is so when you are going out and you have no light and its all smoked
up, this lets you know you are going in the right direction. Come back this way and it stops, you know you are wrong. We have seen a handful of miners here. We appreciate their allowing us to see this is where the coal coming out of the mountain. This is where it has been mined out of these walls and standing on the crart, on the belt and out for energy. This is it, bro. These days their industry is under siege. We scott up with state delegate ruppy phillips outside the mine. From start to finish, the entire line were talking about a lot of jobs that will disappear if this industry is shut down. Well, griff, if you go on right now and follow up on whats going on in West Virginia, were on a budget shortfall by millions and millions of dollars. Its going to effect our teachers. There is counties right now thats laying off deputy sheriffs. There is teachers getting laid off. There are schools getting shut down. Our state depends on coal. No matter what anybody says,
this country depends on coal. Rup ye phillips rupee is a democrat. He is sitting in the crowd. This speech tonight is one of what many are Say Something a bit of a victory lap. Is he continuing to campaign hard heading out west after tonight. Greta . Griff, thank you. And with the West Virginia primary just around the corner, secretary Hillary Clinton is being clobbered for comments show made two months ago. Clinton said the coal industry would go out of business if she becomes president. Now, clinton is getting clobbered despite the fact months earlier in november she unveiled an extensive 30 billiondollar plan to revitalize the Coal Communities including providing for the training of miners. Here are clintons marsh comments now creating a huge political headache for her. Im the only candidate which has a policy about how to bring Economic Opportunity using Clean Renewable Energy as the key in to coal country because
were going to put a lot of coal miners and Coal Companies out of business, right, tim . And were going to make it clear that we dont want to forget those people. Those people labored in those mines for generations losing their health, often losing their lives to turn on our lights and power our factories. Now we have got to move away from coal and all the other fossil fuels. But i dont want to move away from the people who did the best they could to produce the energy that we relied on. Republican West Virginia state majority leader Mitch Carmichael goes on the record. Nice to see you, sir. Its great to be with you this evening. What a wonderful event. Well, it certainly is a lot of people there. All right. So, tell me, a lot of the miners are mad at clinton. Tell me why theyre mad at her. Well, you know, i dont believe they are mad. I just believe that people here want to go to work. We want to provide all ofWest Virginia, all of america and frankly the world with clean energy so that we can power america. These people want to go back to work. They dont want a Government Program. All right. Now, are they aware of this program that she proposed in november . Or are they just hearing the sort of the sound bite from her that the coal industry is going to go out of business . Yeah. I mean, people hear that gret. And you just cannot turn away from that people realize that no matter how much she tries to walk that comment back, she wants to put these people out of work. And, by the way, the people here are not just coal miners. There are a variety of industries. There is rich, poor. There is people that just want america to be great again. Thats why they are here. And they feel the energy in this crowd. It is wonderful to be here. I wish everyone could feel this energy. Is the thinking of the Mining Industry as a whole that they dont wanted any help from the u. S. Government whatsoever . They dont want to have any sort of job training. They dont want to have anything that might sort of revitalize the community . Well, greta, i dont think anyone turns down assistance. What i would say is thats not what we want to rely on. We dont want to rely on some Government Program to people that want to take our jobs, put us out of work and frankly make it harder on everybody in america. We want to go to work and earn a living. Greta, there is a dignity that comes with a job beyond a paycheck. Its the ability to get up and go to work and to train your kids to do the same thing. We dont want these Government Programs. We want to go to work. All right. Now, the Mining Industry has been hit hard. They are proud people. They work really hard. They are really tough jobs. Do they need anything . Well, certainly. I mean, we will need do you know what we need really more than anything, is for people to let us work and provide clean, renewable energy. What we have with the coal energy is a beautiful resource for america. When you look at it, the
best thing we can do to improve the condition of human life is to provide clean energy and cheap and effective energy. Thats what were doing in West Virginia. We have powered the world. We have built this country. We can do it just allow us to work and provide america and the world the Energy Resource that we need. Any idea how many people in that crowd tonight, sir . Thank you very much. Im just so excited to be here. I wish everyone could feel the energy in this crowd. Is certainly looks like a crowd full of energy. Thank you very much for joining us. I could not hear that comment because its its very loud there. Well, donald trump now sits alone atop of the g. O. P. But trump does face what could be an uphill battle to rally the all important Republican Party leaders. House Speaker Paul Ryan saying this today. You have said throughout this process that you will support the republican president ial nominee. Now you have a presumptive nominee, donald trump. Will you support him . Well, to be perfectly candid with you, jake, im just not ready to do that at this point. Im not there right now. And i hope to, though. I want to. But i think what is required is that we unify this party. And i think the bulk of the burden on unifying the party will have to come from our presumptive nominee. I dont want to underplay what he accomplished. He needs to be congratulated for an enormous accomplishment for winning not now a plurality of delegates and now on his way to winning a majority of delegates but he also inherited something very special. Donald trump just responding in a statement to speaker ryan he says im not ready to support speaker ryans agenda. Perhaps in the future we can Work Together and come to an agreement about what is best for the American People that have been treated so badly so long that its about time for politicians to put them first. Now, that was donald trump. And its not just speaker ryan speaking up. President george h. W. Bush and president george w. Bush
both saying they will not endorse and neither will attend the Cleveland Republican Convention in cleveland. Do expect another no show governor mitt romney and new york congressman and lou dobbins goes on the record. Good evening, sir. Good evening, greta. Nice to see you. What do you think about the fact that the two former president s say they will not endorse and speaker ryan says he is not ready to endorse . Well, im confident that mr. Trump and speaker ryan and hopefully our former president s that they will be able to come together. There is a lot of shared passion for the future of our country. Im sure many shared goals. In order to have victories together to strengthen Foreign Policy, improve our economy, improve education and healthcare, in order for us to do that we need to Work Together or the last eight years we saw of barack obama are going to get continued with four years of Hillary Clinton. So its a necessity for the future of our country, for everyone to come together and come together strong. Well, it certainly seems like its more than just sort of a temporary upset within the party. It does look more like a rupture because a temporary upset and everyone sort of be silent. The former president s have spoken up and said they will not endorse. Former g. O. P. Nominee 2012 says he will not endorse trump and says he is not going to the convention. This is a very public spat. This is a lot deeper. This looks like a rupture within the party. So now what happens . How does donald trump try to correct that or fix that or massage that . Well, i think that mr. Trump, speaker ryan, they can have a discussion about where they agree and disagree. When you talk about Foreign Policy or how to improve our tax code, what to do about common core or repealing and replacing obamacare, if they could sit down at a table they will realize that they agree with each other a lot more than if you are sitting down maybe with Hillary Clinton at the same table. Mayor ed koch, former mayor of new york city if you agree with me nine times out of 12 agree with me. If you agree with me 12 times out of 12, see a psychiatrist. They may not agree with each other all the time Work Together. You may have to broker that sort of sitdown relationship. But Reince Priebus is the chairman of the Republican National committee, talked to our sean hannity and he said this about speaker ryan. I talked to him this afternoon after he made his comments. And i talked to donald trump, too. And they are both committed to sitting down and work and actually talking this out. Both donald trump and paul ryan are meeting next week to talk about these things. I think its going to work out. But, you know, in some cases, people are not going to be instantly on board. And i know that can be frustrating for some people. But i think everyone has to have a little bit of the steam to get out and get everyone settled down. And i think that this is
going to come together. And you see the rest of that interview with sean tonight at 10 00 p. M. I guess i go back to this, congressman is that it still strikes me that the two are going to sit down as chairman preebz says next week, why is the dirty laundry being tangled dangled in front of the American Public now if they have the intention of getting it worked out. That doesnt seem like a good idea. Speaker ryans comments also talking with optimism that he wants to work it out. I mean, its not like this is something that is permanent. I think its very temporary. And the fact is that the keys to the white house, the oval office are either going to Hillary Clinton or theyre going to donald trump. And if we dont make donald trump the next president of the United States, were making Hillary Clinton bill clinton becomes the first man. The future of our country at stake and not only four years in the white house but what kind of a Supreme Court would we have if Hillary Clinton was picking the next three or four justices . Thats a generation or two generations the future of our country, much beyond just one term in office. So, the necessity of them sitting down next week, working it out, talking about their priorities, finding Common Ground and achieving results, its important for america. Congressman, thank you. And as noted, governor mitt romney, 2012 nominee is not going to endorse donald trump. We just got news that former Texas Governor rick perry, he has now just recently in the last few moments endorsed donald trump. So, thank you, congressman. Thank you, greta. And right now, donald trump is about to take the stage in charleston, West Virginia. This is his first rally since his big night in indiana becoming the presumptive g. O. P. Nominee. Fortune magazine nina easton and the hills a. B. Stoddard. Nina, does it matter that governor mitt romney says no to donald trump . Yes. And it matters its funny because donald trump and its not just mitt romney thing, it goes beyond that donald trump likes to say
that historic member number of voters voted for him in this primary. Also historic number of voters didnt vote for him, voted against him. And the rupture in the party is so deep. I mean, you can portray it just as the elites because you have the two living republican president s not endorsing him. You have got mitt romney. You have got speaker ryan. It goes beyond the elites. There is deep concern within the republican electorate about donald trump not just his positions, but his temperament and suitability to be president. And i dont think you can just overcome that by sitting down and talking as Reince Priebus suggested. I dont think thats going to go away. Does he have this is sort of a numbers game and you probably dont know. This i dont know this. Does donald trump have more votes at this time from voters than governor mitt romney did in 2012 . He does. So he has the voters . He doesnt have the party elites . He does. But nina is right. He also turned out record
turnout against him. So its not only that he has the turnout is on both sides. Its higher against and higher for. Its not that he has inspired record turnout and he has beat romneys number. He also inspired more people to come to the polls to vote against him. More people have voted against him. Im going to say right here given that. Given the disgust with Hillary Clinton that she is facing on the opposition to her and then her high negatives. You wonder if there is an opening for a third party candidate. 25 of the electorate apparently has plans to sit it out. Things could change. Some kind of blossoming of the inner flower of donald trump or Hillary Clinton could happen. It doesnt look so great right now. Is the Republican Party rupture deeper than the one that we are at least seem to be seeing. Congressman zeldin i think is true. It doesnt seem like
something temporary and something thats just going to go away. They are all focal about it. Its a big crowd of people. Its on the issues. Paul ryans most telling Statement Today was if he wants to be our standard bearer he has to be the pearer of our standards. He kept talking about the Core Principles of the Republican
