  Speaker 1: comes to unification efforts, No, it's on Trump here. I mean,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Trump says differently, he expects the people that he defeated
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: to uh to come to him. And you know he's
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: right to a certain degree. But he is now the
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: leader of the party, and he has spent the last
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: two months as the presumptive nominee uh settling old scores. Uh.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: And it's turned off a lot of people. I mean,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: when you know you talk about unity, there's gonna be
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: one uh, one living Republican presidential nominee in Cleveland this week,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Bob Dole. The rest of them are are all staying away. Now.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: The Trump campaign has lashed out at the governor John
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Kasi for refusing to support Mr Trump. Tell us more
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: about that. Yeah, that's right. Uh. We had Paul Manaford
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: in for breakfast this morning, uh to talk a little
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: bit about the campaign, about the week of events. Uh.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Paul Manift is Donald Trump's campaign manager. Chairman. I beg
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: your part that chairman. Yeah. Essentially the campaign manager is
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: he's just uh Trump's top campaign aid. And and he
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: was asked about Kay asked about the unity question. There's
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: there's you know, Trump needs to do well in the Midwest,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: these battlegrounds he wants, he needs to win Ohio, he
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: wants to he wants to flip Pennsylvania, Michigan, the Wisconsin. Uh,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Michigan governor is not is not is a Republican not
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: supporting Trump. Kasick, how Governor John Kasyck was was one
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: of Trump's primary rivals. He is still not supporting Trump.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Uh and uh and man for it. Last out he said,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: uh uh he called it kasy an embarrassment to the party. Um.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Now again when it comes to unity, of course that
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: that question was asked a few hours later to Paul
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Ryan here in Cleveland, and Paul Pack you know, uh
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: speaker Ryan would not you know, stayed far away from that, saying, hey,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: I would never say something like that about John Kasick.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: So it just seemed, uh, you know, it seemed like
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: an unneeded uh comments. Um, you know, Trump was talking
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: he Trump was talking about kas as the potential vice
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: president nominee. Um and uh, you know, so it just
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: adds to the turmoil, uh within the party at the
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: time when you know, this is supposed to be about unification.
