tv New Day CNN July 19, 2016 2:00am-3:01am PDT
2:00 am
is in the crosshairs this morning. this story is taking force from the anti-trump dropping the hammer on hillary clinton all night long. we have every angle covered. let's begin with cnn's phil mattingly live inside the q arena. phil. >> reporter: good morning, chris. chris, it was supposed to be the crown jewel of the first night of donald trump's convention. melania trump in primetime painting a clear, compassionate picture of her husband. it became clear after she finished her remarks, the campaign had a major headache on their hands. the similarities are startling. >> you work hard for what you want in life. >> you work hard for what you want in life. >> that your word is your bond. that you do what you say you're going to do. >> your word is your bond and do you what you say and keep your promise. >> reporter: melania's big
2:01 am
moment on the national stage overshadowed by an unexpected moment. trump delivering a speech with plagiarized passages from michelle obama's 2008 speech at the democratic national convention. >> we want our children and all children in the nation to know. >> because we want our children in this nation to know. >> that the only limit to the height of your achievements is the reach of your dreams and willingness to work hard for them. >> that the only limit to your achievements is the strength of your dreams and your willingness to work for them. >> reporter: and that's not all. >> that you treat people with dignity and respect even if you don't know them and even if you don't agree with them. >> that you treat people with respect. >> reporter: under a firestorm of criticism online, the trump campaign issuing this statement
2:02 am
overnight. saying quote, melania's team of writers took moments of life's inspiration and reflected her own thinking. the statement doesn't acknowledge the statements of plagiarizing or where the statements came from. in a moment before her speech, melania seems to take credit. >> i wrote it and with a little bit of help as possible. >> reporter: donald trump's introduction of his wife on stage. yet another moment that has everyone talking about the unconventional convention. chris, it is important to know why last night was considered such a big moment for melania trump. she is rarely seen on the campaign trail. you never her from her on the campaign trail. she was also expected to really provide a fuller picture of her
2:03 am
husband. part of a strategy the campaign has been pushing all week. something we will expect to hear from the trump family. it looks like the remarked were plagiarized from michelle obama. again, stepping all over the message of what was expected to be a very big first night for trump. chris. >> michelle obama certainly not a name you want to quote in the q center last night. that's for sure. we'll see how this plays out. phil, thank you. no question, this is a big show for the gop. not all republicans support the presumptive nominee trump. the one thing that does unite everybody who is here in cleveland for the gop is attacking hillary clinton. there was convention speakers calling for clinton to be
2:04 am
jailed. cnn reporter manu raju has more. >> reporter: some disruption when the never trump delegates tried to disrupt the proceedings. in between was a unified message. stopping hillary clinton. >> hillary clinton's experience is the basis for her campaign. hillary clinton's experience is exactly the reason she should not be president of the united states. >> reporter: the republican party uniting on day one of the cleveland convention behind one goal. taking down hillary clinton. >> if i did 1/10 of what she did, i would be in jail today.
2:05 am
so, crooked hillary clinton leave this race now. >> reporter: at least three speakers explicitly calling for the presumptive democratic nominee to be jailed for using a private e-mail server when she was secretary of state. >> we all know she loves her pant suits. but we should send her an e-mail and tell her she deserves a bright orange jump suit. >> reporter: and including the mother of one of those killed in benghazi attack. >> i blame hillary clinton personally for the death of my son. hillary for prison. she deserves to be in stripes. >> reporter: one after another, painting clinton as someone who is not trusted. >> for political reasons lied about the purpose of the attacks. including hillary clinton lying directly to the families of the people who were killed right to
2:06 am
their faces. >> reporter: gop leaders, tv stars past and present and rising stars of the republican party. jumped at the chance to discredit clinton. >> it would be nice to have a commander in chief to be trusted to handle classified information. >> reporter: coming one day after the deadly ambush on police in less than two weeks. >> i would like to make something very clear. blue lives matter in america! >> reporter: with the nation on edge, the divide with police and black community, playing out on the convention floor. >> when they come to save your life, they don't ask if you are black or white. they just come to save you. >> reporter: including former presidential candidate and new york city mayor rudy giuliani who delivered a fiery speech on behalf of his long-time friend donald trump. >> what happened to there's no black america.
2:07 am
there's no white america. there is just america! what happened to it! where did it go! how was it gone away? >> reporter: trump drawing attention away from his convention by calling in for an interview with fox news. >> when you are calling death to police and kill the police, essentially, which is what they said, that's a real problem, bill. that's a real big problem. >> reporter: interesting story lines playing out today as well. not only will the delegates vote to give donald trump the nomination, but some of the never trump nominations will try to disrupt him. possibly putting ted cruz's name up for the vote. some interesting speakers tonight, including people who have not embraced donald trump.
2:08 am
including paul ryan scheduled to speak and chris christie scheduled to speak. >> thank you, manu. joining us now to discuss the speeches and plagiarized is marc lemont hill and david gregory. let's start with melania's speech. one more time play it for the viewers so you can see juxtap e juxtaposed with the 2008 convention speech. >> barack and i were raised with so many of the same values. >> my parents impressed on me the value. >> you work hard for what you want in life. >> you work hard for what you want in life. >> your word is your bond. you do what you say you will do. >> your word is your bond and
2:09 am
you do what you say and keep your promise. >> that you treat people with dignity and respect even if you don't know them and even if you don't agree with them. >> that you treat people with respect. >> barack and i set out to build lives guided by these values and pass them on to the next generation. >> and we need to pass those lessons on to the many generations to follow. >> and because we want our children and all children in the nation to know. >> because we want our children in this nation to know. >> that the only limit to the height of your achievements is the reach of your dreams and willingness to work hard for them. >> that the only limits to your achievements is the strength of your dreams and your willingness to work for them.
2:10 am
>> okay. david gregory. it is hard to deny that those are verbatim. there is nothing worse than parroting the obama message. >> imitation is flattery. they made room. these were clearly taken from michelle obama's speech. the thing is you are in control if you are the campaign. this is a few days you can control what happens. especially in primetime. tens of millions of people watching around the world. this was what we call an unforced error. it was not what they want everyone talking about the next morning. this mistake they made and instead of the themes and emotions that they were able to talk about. >> so, put on your professor hats. do you care about this? does this count as plagiarizing? is this worthy of the scrutiny?
2:11 am
like hillary clinton did with barack obama with the patrick words? how much do you care? do you care? anybody? >> i think there is a little bit difference because you are talking about melania trump. i think for a lot of establishment republicans, this is exactly what they were worried about. the unforced error. >> a lot of phrases are cliches. many people have said them. >> my word is my bond. >> i have. >> i think -- >> i'm just saying, i can't tell you how many times i heard my father's words come out of people's mouths. he enjoyed it. there are common issues in politics. she is not running for anything.
2:12 am
>> what i came away from before i realized this issue was out there. this broke late at night. what i came away from was a series of angry speeches. some excerpts of which you played. there were a number of speakers who had to watch a lot of people walk out of the arena. without that balance there, because now it is tainted. there is a question hovering over it. what we have is a night of angry speeches that were supposed to be balanced by the candidate's wife. now balanced by the mess over here. it is a stage managing question, but also a question of what this convention and what this party stands for. if they cannot get it on track on day two, if there is demonstration on the floor, you have to start to wonder is this message of unity we are hearing
2:13 am
from everybody. is it real? >> also when there are so many people who think trump is not qualified to be president. do they have their act together? this contributes to it. >> she said she wrote the speech primarily by herself with the help of a couple of speech writers. do we know who these speech writers are? >> we don't know who they are. that is why we are careful to talk about this. i have seen some reports at cnn saying she works with a team of speech writers. she said she wrote most of it herself. i think that is the most important stories. it is getting to the question that chris asked. how much does this matter and what does this do for the campaign? instead of seeing headlines of how republicans came together to stop hillary clinton, what we are seeing is headlines of drama and plagiarizing. this is not what the republicans need. >> what will be said, it also
2:14 am
isn't true about the night. it was about coming after hillary clinton. there wasn't a lot of discord. they did a good job of crushing that roll call when it came out. that could have gotten out of hand easily. it was on a rules platform. there could have been a case made that they wanted to do a delegation by delegation call on the rules. they did a good job. >> it was a disruption. it is not what they wanted on the first day. it was difficult to understand what they were doing. all of the various calls to order was not exactly the huge grassroots movement. they are over that. as much as might be written about, melania trump and the speech, the truth is this was about who was watching on television in primetime. reaching millions of people with a message of resentment and message of fear and anxiety and a pro trump message taking down hillary clinton. this is getting party unity and trying to round out trump. whatever is written after the
2:15 am
fact. the primary goal is reaching all of those potential voters. >> to the bigger question of do voters care about plagiarizing or fighting isis? so, donald trump still stands for, according to all of the people who came out to speak for him, law and order and fighting isis and staying strong. >> except for the case that is built against him that hillary clinton is hammering home. when you look at trump university and the trump mortgage and the deals he has had and bankruptcies on small vendors. it starts to build a case that there is something not quite right here. that is where the plagiarizing does stick here. there is not copyright here. michelle obama is not going to sue her or anything. this is something the trump campaign does not want to see furthered. an unforced error. >> i'm not sure who, but it is not the crime. it is the cover up. the campaign came out with a
2:16 am
statement that did not say, yeah. she looked at her speech. she took stuff from it. it is not a big deal. that is why we are talking about it. >> thank you. well get back to you shortly. i'm providing defense with you. however, in the next hour, we will ask these questions about what this means and why it happened and how it was dealt with by the campaign from the campaign chairman paul manafort. what does he say about this and what the night was about for him. >> one common theme on the opening night of the gop convention was attacking hillary clinton. up next, our political panel will weigh in on the other big speeches of the night. olay total effects vitamin enriched to revive skin

on day two. will trump get a smooth vote from delegates when they declare nominee tonight and will the attacks on hillary clinton continue like they did last night? our panel is back. errol louis and david gregory. when they had the roll call rules yesterday, we knew there would be friction. how do you think the nomination goes today? >> i think certainly there is an option for them and high likelihood they try to create more disruption and gets the attention. this is a divided party. no question about it. the goal of trump is unite the party during the four days. this is the time for him to do it. he has gone a long way toward that within the first couple hours last night. there is potential for disruption. there is part of a larger theme of the house speaker paul ryan
2:22 am
talked about. he is a speaker tonight. part of the theme. some of that resentment trump is tapping into is resenting the fact he is taking the party in a direction a lot don't want to go. >> rudy giuliani, it is fair to say, was on fire. he spoke with an intensity that some people say wasn't seen for his own presidential campaign. so let's play a moment of that. >> what happened to there's no black america. there's no white america. there is just america! what happened to it! where did it go! how was it gone away! >> your thoughts? >> that was certainly unexpected from rudy giuliani. one of the more intense speeches
2:23 am
of the night. the context of the speech after the shootings in baton rouge and minnesota of blacks and officer-involved shootings in dallas and louisiana. this is coming at a critical point of the nation. he talked about it and said we have to return to law and order. it is a merit for the speakers to channel that. rudy giuliani, frankly, nailed it. >> how can he take the message way from the black men? tell that to philando castile's family, errol? there is no black america. these families think they were pulled over for driving while black. >> one part of the speech wasn't delivered at full volume. he made a point of saying when people have done the wrong thing, we have to hold them accountable. in some ways, he was trying to walk back the incendiary comments he made in the past
2:24 am
weeks that put him and the values he stands for in a harsh light. he was trying to build a full case for blue lives matter and all lives matter. for trump who can unify and a candidate he is trying to support and unify the country. we should give him credit for that. it was a loud speech. it was an energetic speech. >> they gave him the hardest job last night. let's not forget rudy giuliani at his core is a prosecutor. he was a damn good one. he had to make a delicate case. we are all united in the country. all the same. all lives matter. at the same time, there has to be law and order. that means if the police do the wrong thing, there has to be accountability. that is what sheriff said last night. you need transparency and accountability. they say it fast and low. they get back to the big theme. someone is taking the country
2:25 am
from us. that came out loud and clear. where did it go? it went the same way the education system and the justice system and jobs. it went to the different set of people. >> i think there was a bigger theme. you touched on it. taking something away from us. that sense that a lot of americans who are here or are representing voters who are here. feel the country is headed in the wrong direction because of the economy and activism throughout the country which left people behind. whether it is immigration or you have activism around law and order issues, there is a fear and anxiety and people are having things taken from them. having a way of life taken from them. there is a lot of nostalgia for an america that doesn't exist anymore that mostly white americans would like to see. that was on display. i think the danger politically
2:26 am
is there is a tearing apart here that we saw that gets people off in two corners. i think that potentially helps donald trump politically. >> another powerful moment, many, one of them was when pat smith, the mother of sean smith, was killed in benghazi. she is always emotional. she is very angry at hillary clinton. she came out and said she holds hillary clinton personally responsible. during the moment at the rnc, donald trump decided to call in to fox in a competing programming moment. >> that was fascinating. more fascinating is that fox didn't, as i recall, take any of the speeches regarding benghazi. that is a theme that trump hammered hillary clinton. she is personally responsible for the death of those four americans. this is another unconventional move by trump in a speech with
2:27 am
some of the most compelling television. >> it was the biggest moment on the floor. there's no question that you hear the name clinton more than you hear trump on the convention floor. whether it was pat smith or the video from the benghazi report. it galvanized the audience. thank you so much. great insight. it is not your typical gop convention as you saw last night. that is the way donald trump wants it. a little show biz mixing with politics. chris wants this every morning. >> he got his own box. look at that. >> that is all when "new day" returns. the reason i'm telling you this is that there will be moments in your life that... you'll never be ready for.

2:34 am
positive spirit here. and i think unfortunately the tragedies in nice and turkey and baton rouge and dallas have all heightened the importance of the election in a way that i suspect will turn out to be positive for trump. >> any security concerns? >> no. you have so many police here and as long as they pay attention, we're fine. >> a lot happening on that street. right across from the convention center. people with signs and in costumes. it was a little bit mardi gras yesterday. >> i think the good news for trump in all of this, that's the scene that happens outside conventions. that's good for him. the talking polar bear. people were talking a panda. really? newt's words are so true for him. who would have thought newt gingrich at this stage of the

2:41 am
it was a nice one. and let's take notes. >> that's the part that confuses me. they don't like the obamas. they made a campaign based on how wrong the obamas are. why look at it? >> it is an admission she gave a good speech at the democratic conventi convention. she did. she talked about the positive attributes of her husband. they were looking for inspiration, most likely. i can see how you pull that out and leave it on a draft and circulating it among staffers. someone leaves it on and forgets to change it or something. clearly a mistake was made. own up to it. knowledge the fact that michelle obama gave a nice speech and move on. >> they said last night at 1:48 a.m., in writing her beautiful speech, melania's team took notes on her life's inspirations and in some instances created
2:42 am
fragments that reflected her own thinking. her experience and love for america shown through in the speech and made it such a success. that is not acknowledging the fragments from michelle obama's speech. should they have gone that far? >> i love trump is tight for the dollar. he needs to sell some gold-plated chairs and hire a speech writer. all she had to do was go out there and show the world she loves her husband and she supports his candidacy. it was a low bar. that's all that needed to be done. with the controversy, she came off assab likeable. we will move on. >> it is never the mistakes that becomes a big deal. it is the cover up. it seems like they are trying cover it up. and it plays to the narrative that trump never admits failure or recalibrates. he double downs on things that
2:43 am
are silly. this should not be a big deal. people will give her a pass because she is not a politician. they would forgive her if she owns up to the mistake. if you look at the speeches and see with your eyes they are saying the same words, it will back fire. >> here is how melania explained it to matt lauer of her process of writing it. >> has she gone over the speech? did you practice it on the plane? >> i read once over it. that's all because i wrote it and with a little bit of help as possible. >> she said she wrote it with as little help as possible. >> i suspect hillary clinton is not going to stir the pot on candidate spouses causing controversy on airplanes. >> good point. to your point, yes. of course, this will blow over. does this rise to the level of terrorism?
2:44 am
of course not. however, let's dive in deeper to the speech. you were saying it was a low bar. all she had to do was talk about how great her husband was and their connection. did she share enough? do you have a better sense of trump from the rest of her speech? >> i do. i think it was honest. there are people that are warm and fuzzy that like to talk about their relationship with the public and put a lot of what goes on behind closed doors out in the public spheres. i think from trump and melania don't have a conducive relationship like that. what she gave us was authentic and that is what they should have done. >> the part that was plagiarized is with the family value. if you go and lie about the plagiarizing, it looks bad. she should talk about what they do for their anniversaries. that is time for the trump campaign to move on and put
2:45 am

he understands if he is moving to a more islamic state, they put the army in charge of keeping it secular. that means they are engaged in politics and watching the decisions. >> this wasn't the military just piecing its own agenda and going at the democratic nature of turkish society. >> that got missed. this has been going on for years. in 2011, erdogan had a good size purge. in april of this year, 275 military officers were acquitted of a coup attempt. what i think happened is they knew there was another purge coming. the pressure is building. >> is purge a nice word? is it done through the formal process of justice? >> i think there will be a blood letting. he arrested some 20,000. i'mengaged. he arrested judges.

if he goes more islamic? >> he understands they are a bredth to his rule now. isis. he is now threatening because of this -- he wants to extradite gulen. he is saying maybe we cannot be as good partner in the fight of isis if we don't get the cooperation. >> do we give it to him? >> i hope not. unless they show up with a mound of evidence. i don't think they have that. he is just taking out every opponent on the list. probably people who got phone calls from the generals who may or may not be involved in the coup, he is taking them out as well. when you talk about the judges and clerics, this spells trouble
