RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
TAPER: "Let’s just explain to the viewers what exactly is going on right now. I want to bring in CNN’s John king. John, explain what’s going on. Who are the people yelling? What is happening?"
KING: " We have a protest on the floor. They seemed to adopt rules on a voice vote there and the chairman said the ayes have it. Trying to say the rules are adopted and yet delegates on the floor say not so fast. We know the anti-trump forces believe they have it and the state by state roll call. Forces went to the rules committee. Leaders of the scone vengs. They say they submitted enough signatures to have state by state roll call. I think we will have that right new on the floor of the Republican convention."
TAPPER: "The people yelling right now, people yelling aye, are trump forces. People yelling ney are saying rules should not be adopted. And ayes — what are the neys — roll call vote."
KING: "Roll call vote."
TAPPER: "These are never trump forces."
KING: "They want a vote on the rules. Their displeasure with the Republican national committee. They can see they don’t have the votes in the end. They can see the trump forces have more votes. But there are people inside the trump war room say they could have as many as 600 votes against the rules, meaning against Donald Trump. Last votes against Donald Trump. They are trying to send a signal. I think Ed Ed is right. I think they will be defeated. Trump forces have been working the floor. But there is a lot of resentment. I was on the floor. Some trump lieutenants were trying to cannot Vince people to withdraw signature and pressure them to back off. They say we need party unity. We don’t want to embarrass the nominee. But delegates say hey, this is my right to demand this. Don’t pressure me."
