>> Did not want her there. Hundreds of people showed up, holding up signs. One sign said, we only matter when it's Cinco de mayo. Another one said Hillary, do your friends make $12 or $15 an hour? What's your response to that?
DT: Well, you know, Hillary is not a unifier. Talk about a unifier, I was not surprised to see all the protesters and last night, I was in West Virginia. I got the award from the coal miners -- West Virginia coal miners association and the endorsement most importantly. It was amazing. We had probably 20,000, maybe 25,000 people there last night in West Virginia.
>> Usually only endorse only Democrats.
DT: Well, I heard that. I have heard that. This was one of the first times they ever endorsed a Republican and it was unanimous. It was a love fest. I hear Hillary has nothing but problems. She wants all the miners to be fired. And she wants wages for people to go down. If you look at what she's going to do, she's going to be so bad on jobs that wages are going to go down for workers. Hillary is going to be a disaster for the party. But I hope she wins, but she -- I must say this. If she does win, she shouldn't, because the e-mail scandal should take her down. But I don't think it's going to because I think she's being protected by the Democrats.

Transcript:

>>> It is Friday. Good morning to you and your family. It's may 6th. I'm Ainsley earhardt. House speaker Paul Ryan is not ready to support Donald Trump just yet.
>> I'm just not ready to do that at this point. I'm not there right now.
>> Donald Trump is here live to respond to that next.
>> He is.
>>> Meanwhile, hispanics saying never to a Hillary Clinton presidency. As protesters crash her Cinco de mayo party. It wasn't supposed to be like this.
>> Hillary Clinton is a war criminal.
>> But Donald Trump took a different tactic on Cinco de mayo. That is a delicious taco bowl. We'll talk to him about that coming up in seconds.
>> Sure is.
>>> Well, say good-bye to the father/daughter dance. It is being banned for not being inclusive enough.
>> What?
>> What does that even mean? This show means something though. Mornings are better with "Friends."
>>> This is a live look at Churchill downs this morning.
>> Louisville, Kentucky.
>> You say it better than me.
>> Louisville.
>> You have to roll it together. We have the bugler out on the plaza.
>> I love his story, he has been the bugler at the preakness and the Belmont. He got his job after the bugler at the Belmont hit the pick six. He hit the lottery, he said this take this horn and shove it. He left. He has been playing that tunes for years.
>> Have you been to the derby?
>> I never have. You?
>> I have covered it for fox. If you ever get a chance, it's something to put on your buck it list. Definitely do it. People have asked me, should you wear a hat? Most people there wear a hats. I recommend it. You don't get a chance to wear a beautiful hat. And this is a chance to fit right in. Talk about a pretty crowd.
>> I won't have a hat, but I'll have a mint julep.
>> Have you been?
>> No.
>> Great to have Pete with us today.
>> Thanks for having me.
>> And the man of the hour, Donald Trump, joins us from somewhere in his empire.
>> Good morning.
>> What do you make of the speaker of the house, the leader of the Republican party, saying he is not ready to support you yet? We have a sound bite. Then we want your reaction. Listen to this.
>> You have said throughout this process that you will support the Republican presidential nominee. Now you have a presumptive nominee, Donald Trump. Will you support him?
>> Well, to be perfectly candid with you, Jake, I'm not ready to do that at this point.

[7:03:24 AM]

I'm not there right now. I think a lot of answers that conservatives want answers to.
>> He wants you to change your tune and change your tone.
>> What's up with that?
>> Well, I have brought in millions of people to the party. We set a record -- all time record for votes gotten by somebody running. As you know, we're up 70% more -- more than 70% from four years ago in terms of voting. There's a certain reason for that, I hate to say it's me, but let's just assume it is me. I was really surprised by it. And it's fine. He can do whatever he wants to do. It's fine. But I was surprised by it. By the way, many other people were surprised by it and not happy about it. I will tell you I have many endorsements from yesterday. They're coming in left and right. He's only one of the ones who was surprising. Obviously bush can't be there, the campaign was too tough and he couldn't take it. And he couldn't be there. So, you know, I understand.
>> So that's why the bushes -- I was talking to somebody last night, well, it makes perfect sense. With Paul Ryan it could be sour grapes. How many times have you taken a shot at Mitt Romney on how he ran his campaign last time and who was his number two, Paul Ryan.
>> Well, they lost a race that should have been won. I was open about it, that was a race that should have been run. That was an easier race this year, but I'll win. You have seen the polls going up rapidly. But I was very, very surprised. He talks about unity, but what is this about unity? With millions of people coming into the party obviously I'm saying the right thing. The party was staid, it was having a lot of problems, whether it was the right thing or the wrong thing, they weren't doing now and now the Republican party is the talk of the world because there's no place and no party that's, you know, increasing in scope like we have. It's a big story. Millions and millions of people have come into the party. And I have this.

[7:05:26 AM]

It's hard to believe. I doesn't bother me at all.
>> I was going to ask you, the reason you're doing so well is because you're anti-establishment and the voters are getting behind you.
>> Many people think it's a good thing, but I don't. I think it's something that the party should get solved quickly and I know we're meeting next week.
>> You and Paul Ryan?
>> We're meeting next week.
>> What are you going to talk to him about?
>> I have absolutely no idea.
>> Do you know what day you're going to meet with him?
>> I believe it's Wednesday. It's a long time. To be honest. That's a long time. There are a lot of days before that. But look, my attitude is a lot of people say it's a great thing. I don't necessarily agree, but I can understand that point of view. Again, millions of people have come into the party and there's a reason for it. That wouldn't have happened if I didn't run, believe me.
>> Absolutely, Mr. Trump, we are 48 hours from a political revolution really. The Republican party, conservatives didn't expect this. It happens. You are -- you will be the Republican nominee. What is your message to conservatives or Paul Ryan who are still 48 hours from now wondering, hey, is he our guy, is he a conservative? What would you say to them as you outreach to them and try to unite everybody?
>> Well, I would say, Pete, make America great again that's been my message from the very beginning. We have trouble. Our military is being depleted, our trade deals are horrible. We're losing on every single deal we make. We don't take care of our veterans. We have problems on top of problems. My message has gotten across, whether it's on health care, repeal or replace Obamacare. We have to do something with common core, we want to bring education locally, get rid of common core. We have a lot of things, a lot of things that are very important. But we have to rebuild our military. We have to make our military stronger. That's one of the cheapest things we can do believe me.
>> Absolutely. It was this week that you suddenly on Tuesday night Ted Cruz decided to drop out. Is your campaign pretty much going to continue to operate the way it has with Corey and Paul manafort.

[7:07:30 AM]

Since Corey has been there since the get go, have you given him a raise yet?
>> That's something I have to think about. I never gave that too much thought. I'm going to have to think about that --
>> Get 10%.
>> We have a campaign that's unified. We have two people that do like each other despite reports in the press. Now they're starting to understand it. But we have people who get along. You know, we won Indiana in a landslide. We won New York and Pennsylvania and Maryland and Connecticut. Delaware. Rhode Island. All these landslides and that's why people really decided they better get out. That's the thing. I mean, when you're looking for unity, unity is winning too. We have to win.
>> And going forward you get to focus on unity and unifying the GOP. Now, Hillary is still fighting Bernie and yesterday, when you were in West Virginia getting the award from the coal miners association, she's out in California and she is having a Cinco de mayo party. There were a lot of protesters out there.
>> Some sort of a party, I don't know.
>> Did not want her there. Hundreds of people showed up, holding up signs. One sign said, we only matter when it's Cinco de mayo. Another one said Hillary, do your friends make $12 or $15 an hour? What's your response to that?
>> Well, you know, Hillary is not a unifier. Talk about a unifier, I was not surprised to see all the protesters and last night, I was in West Virginia. I got the award from the coal miners -- West Virginia coal miners association and the endorsement most importantly. It was amazing. We had probably 20,000, maybe 25,000 people there last night in West Virginia.
>> Usually only endorse only Democrats.
>> Well, I heard that. I have heard that. This was one of the first times they ever endorsed a Republican and it was unanimous. It was a love fest. I hear Hillary has nothing but problems. She wants all the miners to be fired. And she wants wages for people to go down. If you look at what she's going to do, she's going to be so bad on jobs that wages are going to go down for workers. Hillary is going to be a disaster for the party. But I hope she wins, but she -- I must say this. If she does win, she shouldn't, because the e-mail scandal should take her down.
But I don't think it's going to because I think she's being protected by the Democrats.
>> Well, it does sound like they're starting to talk to them. While she was out in Los Angeles getting a bad reception from a number of protesters, on Cinco de mayo you tweeted out an image of you there at trump towers with a taco bowl talking about how you were having that and they make really good one at the trump grill there in your building.
>> They do.
>> After you posted that, Robert Zimmerman who is Hillary surrogate and a DNC committee member.
>> He's a flunky, go ahead.
>> That's your depiction. He's a democratic strategist who said this about your taco bowl.
>> Politically incorrect --
>> Claiming he loves Jews. He has united Democrats and Republicans behind Hillary Clinton. Her numbers are excelling not just hispanics, but amongst people of color and the mainstream.
>> He said it was like the Iranian ayatollah having matzo ball soup and claiming he loves Jews.
>> That was terrible thing to say. I had 59,000 retweets. 59,000 retweets. That's like almost a record. People loved it. You know what? I'm going to do great with hispanics. I'm going to do fantastically because I'm bringing jobs back to America. Hillary doesn't know what to do. Her husband signed the worst economic development bill ever ever in the country's history. That was nafta. Which has sucked the jobs out of America. So we'll bring jobs back to America. You know -- and there's nobody who can compete with me on that. Hillary can't compete. She doesn't know what she's doing.
>> Any word on who you're looking at to be your vice president? Who's on the short list?
>> I'm looking at a few people. I will be looking at more. I do get a kick out of it. I won't mention names because I don't want to embarrass anybody.
>> Tell us who's not on the list.
>> No, people are saying I have decided to turn it down. They were never on the list. In all fairness, I won't embarrass them.

[7:11:34 AM]

But senators and governors. They're saying I have decided not to accept -- I never even talked to them. They're not on the list, they wouldn't be chosen. But I have had more people talking about the fact that they have decided to turn it do and, you know, it's -- well, it's politics, I guess.
>> I know you're considering different people. Would you rule out or rule in a Democrat -- the right kind of Democrat.
>> I would rule them out. Or her out.
>> Ben Carson said --
>> I want to a great ticket. The Democrats have been in there a long time, the economy is terrible. The real unemployment rate is probably 20%. Jobs are leaving. Look at carrier, look at so many companies they're leaving. No, I'm going to pick a great Republican. We'll have a tremendous victory. We're going to win.
>> There's some unbound delegates in Louisiana and they're saying they have to support Marco Rubio because they're delegates for him. They're saying they will give you their votes if you just look at him as a vp. Is that a possibility?
>> Well, look, I like Marco and I'll look at Marco for a lot of things. You know, Marco has been saying really nice things. As did Rick Perry. He called me one of the most talented people he's seen me run for office. That's a long way back and I appreciate it from Rick because I like Rick. I always liked Rick. But that's what I mean. He gave me an endorsement yesterday. John McCain gave us an endorsement. We had so many endorsements yesterday. That's why I was so surprised that Ryan -- I don't need the delegates anymore. We have a lot of delegates right now as you know. And I certainly am looking at him for other reasons and we'll see what happens with Marco. But I -- you know, I always liked Marco. Then we had that little -- about a one month spat which worked out fine.
>> For you.
>> See what happens.
>> Real quickly before you go. Of course you're talking about the opponents who are now supporting you. Have you talked to Ted Cruz yet since Tuesday?
>> I have not. At some point I will. I have not. Look, it was a rough campaign, let's face it. It was rough. So I have not.
>> All right. Donald Trump joining us today. Thank you very much.

[7:13:35 AM]

>> Okay, thank you very much.
>> All right. Have a Good Friday.
>>> All right, coming up on this Friday, disturbing new details on the search for cold blooded killer who apparently murdered a woman inside a church.
