Eric began by tossing to Fox News correspondent John Roberts, who reported live from a Donald Trump rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Trump made news by heartily endorsing Republican Speaker of the House Paul Ryan. "Paul Ryan has a Republican primary coming up next week," Roberts said, "and Donald Trump was hedging his bets about endorsing him. There was a firestorm this week over reports that Trump was not endorsing Ryan, so Republican leaders and close advisors leaned on him." Roberts went on to describe the scene in Green Bay. "This is typical for one of Donald Trump's convention center appearances. There are a few thousand people, a good crowd here in Wisconsin, and they are cheering loudly." Fox News analyst Juan Williams marveled that Donald Trump again went out of his way to insult his fellow Republicans earlier in the week. "This is so interesting because this race in Wisconsin is not even close, Paul Ryan is leading by more than 15 points. So this was a finger in the eye from Donald Trump to Paul Ryan, it's Trump versus the Republican establishment and it's a sign of a Republican fracture." But Republican strategist Lisa Boothe insisted that Trump may finally be trying to mend fences with GOP leaders. "Donald Trump has had a tough couple of weeks, and this is a reset. Endorsing Paul Ryan is a positive step for his campaign."

Eric then cut live to the Trump rally as the candidate began speaking. "We need unity, we have to win this election," he told the crowd. "This is truly one of the most important elections, certainly in my lifetime. If we lose it, we are in the wrong direction and maybe it's all gone. This campaign is about America, it's time for a real change!" Trump served up a heaping helping of red meat to the conservative crowd, touching on terrorism, the Second Amendment, and enhanced interrogation. He also complained about what he sees as a hostile press corps, and of course he took a few digs at the woman he calls 'Crooked Hillary.' Returning time and again to the theme of Republican unity, Trump reaffirmed, "We will be the big tent party, and as a unified party we will lead our country to unity as well." Offering an olive branch to his fellow Republicans, Trump praised and heartily endorsed Paul Ryan, as well as Senators John McCain of Arizona and Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire.

As Donald Trump continued speaking, John Roberts reported on the general tenor of the candidate's message. "This is a different Donald Trump than we've seen," Roberts stated, "and a lot of Republicans are probably wondering where this guy was a month ago. He said this is not about him or any one candidate, it's about America. And he said he needs a Republican Senate and House to enact the changes that are needed. Donald Trump is tonight becoming the leader of the Republican Party in a way that he hasn't been before, this is a different guy tonight!" Lisa Boothe voiced enthusiasm for Trump's tone. "We need an on-message Donald Trump and a united Republican Party to win this election. He needs the party's help, he needs their communications team and their staffers. And he now needs to turn to paid advertising to get his narrative out, because we have seen that the media is drastically biased against him." But Fox News analyst Ric Grenell was a bit skeptical about Trump's change in demeanor. "He realizes that his poll numbers are going down and these senators need his support and he needs theirs. He needs to look like he is leading the party, and this could be a marriage of convenience for a short period of time in order to win elections."

Hillary Clinton, who has been accused of lying to Chris Wallace on last week's Fox News Sunday, now admits that she may have 'short circuited' the facts. Wallace joined Eric to scrutinize that claim. "This new answer is positively Clintonian," Wallace declared. "I asked her about the fact that she had made certain representations about her emails to the American people and FBI Director James Comey directly contradicted that. She told me that Comey said she had told the American people the truth, but he did not say that! What she is now saying is that what she told the FBI was true and that is the same thing she told the American people." Eric went farther, flatly accusing Hillary Clinton of prevarication: "You're being nice when you call this 'Clintonian.' A lot of us, including me, would say she is lying!"
