there is also an interesting subtext within this evening's speakers, members of congress. obviously, there's been a lot of tension between the republican leadership on the hill and donald trump and yet you wouldn't know that by looking at the lineup and you have the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell and you have house speaker paul ryan and kevin mccarthy and a lot of representatives of the very elites that donald trump in many ways has spent the last year railing against and running against and convincing the voters that they do not have their best interests at heart. >> i want to go to dana bash. she's on the convention floor right now. dana, explain what's going on right now in addition to the excellent music? >> reporter: well, we're waiting for it to be official for the speaker of the house to come out and formally gavel that donald j. trump is the absolute nominee, is the formal nominee

for the republican party. so that's what we're waiting for. alaska made a point of order and there is a parliamentarian issue right now that they're looking at, but when it comes to the votes needed, they're there, and we saw that, obviously, in a dramatic moment right back there with donald trump's children, and his son in particular, donald jr., putting in his name for the state of new york, which when you look at the numbers put him over the top. i think what is most interesting over the last couple of hours, wolf, on the floor is what has not happened coming into today. we heard so many rumors and concerns from the republican party officials and from donald trump's campaign about whether certain states that had a lot of anti-trump forces and protest cruz forces, like colorado, like utah and like even minnesota and washington state where they were going to go to a walkout or try to nominate ted cruz or do

something and have some kind of public display of frustration. it didn't happen. it didn't happen. part of that is because i saw with my own eyes the whip operation in the trump campaign and the republican party working very hard to stop it from happening and it was kind of remarkable. also because -- a lot of people -- there was some discord, i should say, and this is a party that you saw is pretty happy right now with who they have. not everybody, considering where we were, there's not as much discord as maybe you would have thought. >> and you see the speaker of the house, paul ryan and he's awaiting the final deliberations to go through and he will make the official announcement. anderson, over to you. >> a procedural delay. let's talk with the panel about this moment for donald trump.

gloria borger and david axelrod. i mean, it is extraordinary when you think about how this campaign for donald trump began and for him to be on this night getting the nomination of the party. >> you know, anderson, i guess it started june 15th, and over the course of the past year we have heard he's never going to get the nomination, started out with 17. it was improbable. >> it was he's never going to run. he was never going to release, you know, what financial information he did release. >> exactly. still hasn't released his tax retur returns, but it goes from that to this question of, okay, which one of the other boys are going to defeat him? that didn't happen. and then it went to contested convention. that didn't happen, and then it went to never trump, and today we just saw the death of never trump because as dana was talking about, all of these kinds of last-ditch efforts

turned into nothing more than mischi mischief, really, on the floor. >> i think the question maybe that we should ask of ourselves is how do we miss it? how do we miss all of this? and it speaks to the fact that this country is very much divided and that donald trump was speaking to an america that between new york and washington and boston, lots of folks don't hear and see, and so i think e e ought to make note of that tonight, that everyone thought was so improbable that kailey happened. >> how did the republican party miss it? i mean, yes, we missed it, but also the establishment and the republican party said you know what? this is never going to happen. >> in a sense, the republican party has paid a price because they've had these differences and they've papered them over by being the anti-obama party. >> right. >> they've been against and they haven't been for and they haven't united a bunch of

positive principles, and you know, he will define the republican party and if he doesn't win the election the republican party will have to do soul-searching including the republicans not in this room. >> one of the things they tried to do tonight on top of the roll call which was my favorite part of this convention is they tried to show case some diversity, right? >> yeah. >> that's your favorite part? >> you saw donna martinez there putting his name from new mexico and you saw delegate voters and i understand a lot of black gop votes were doing a headcount of how many african-americans were delegates and there was good news and bad news in terms of the numbers here. back in 2002 there were 167 black delegates according to their headcount, there are 80, but that's up from 2012 when

there were about 28. so that's some good news. if they can certify those numbers, but that's one of the things that i thought that was interesting tonight and we'll see some of that again tonight with ben carson. >> we should also -- >> those delegates may be the donald trump voters who were showing up in polls as the 1% or 2% supporting donald trump. >> we should also point out, michael, that this procedural delay could push some of the speeches back. let's listen to paul ryan. >> ladies and gentlemen, -- ladies and gentlemen, the chair will yield to the chairman of the republican national committee for the purpose of explaining the rules. a >> all right. well, this is a rule that affects only about four states. first of all, all of the states are bound by 16a2 and the secretary is required to read the bound vote, and so that's

why in a few states there was a difference. in this particular case the state rules under the 16-f filing says that the candidates that are submitted under the -- that run in the election, when they drop out the bound vote gets re-allocated to the only candidate left that's running. so you understand? so under the rule, he is correct that that is how alaska originally voted. however, since there was only one candidate that was left running the bound vote gets shifted under the same-party rule and that's yet secretary read it that way. so that's how the rules are interpreted. i hope you saw tonight that we allowed for other votes of other candidates that were running to be read. i know that's different than tampa, and i hope you all appreciated that. in any event, have a great night.

[ applause ] >>. you are suant to rule 37b and the chair's earlier announcement the votes of the state of alaska shall be recorded as 28 votes, trump. this result differs from the results of the poll delivered to the secretary, but is necessary to reflect the presidential preference vote or to recollection of delegates as required under the rules. the chair -- the chair is prepared to announce the results. the following candidates received the following votes, 1,725, trump. [ cheers and applause ] 475, cruz. [ cheers and applause ] 120, kasich. 114, rubio.

seven, carson. three, bush. two, paul. [ applause ] accordingly, the chair announces that donald j. trump, having received the majority of these votes entitled to be cast at the convention has been selected as the republican party nominee for president of the united states. [ cheers and applause ] >> and that, michael smerconish, is the moment donald trump has been waiting a long time for. >> for me, it's reminiscent of many, many nights we've all spent together in the washington, d.c., studio looking at john king in front of the magic wall and going through different scenarios as to whether donald trump could get to 1237.

well, he did, and then some tonight. >> exactly. >> ivanka trump, donald trump, jr., eric trump, tiffany trump, barron trump. [ applause ] >> naming the escort committee for -- for -- for donald trump. >> ladies and gentlemen, please give a warm welcome to the missouri leader of the united states senate, the honorable mitch mcconnell. >> they'll be nominating for the vice president, and governor mike pence. jeffrey lord, from the beginning you were a lone voice early on in the media landscape. what are your thoughts upon this moment? >> it's amazing and it's certainly a big moment in american history. i think of barack obama's nomination, want all nominations are historical, in a sense and

they're not always moment us and mean some particular thing. i think ronald reagan's did, and i think barack obama's did, and i think this does. i think he stands for winning in november and how that plays out we've yet to see, and clearly there is a new movement afoot and he's won. >> david, how big a problem is it that they're basically having trouble timing out this convention? i mean, last night, a lot of folks thought they should enter with mella kn ania trump and tht long. >> i think it's a big problem. you are producing a television show and you're concentrating with the 10:00 hour when you have the maximum number of people watching and you want to put your best foot forward then. joni ernst who could have been helpful to donald trump was pushed back in the program, but off of primetime television. >> off of evening -- >> and speaking to an empty hall, rudy giuliani, we can argue as to whether he was

helpful or not. i would suggest not, was in the big hour, general flynn who you could argue whether he was helpful or not was in the big hour. this wasn't the production that you wanted so the timing is very important. >> and already they -- they had planned to have speeches beginning already in the 8:00 hour. obviously, they're now delayed because they're going through the process. >> this is a reflection. i don't want to beat the whole issue of melania's speech to death, but these are all signs of organizational stress. donald trump got very far as an improvisational candidate, and he now has to build an organization and he has to have some discipline. these events require that and what we've seen in the early going is they're not there yet. >> which is so interesting because donald trump's early central message early on was i know how to build a great organization. i know how to hire all of the right people. god knows he's known for firing people. >> it's interesting. i look back to mitt romney in

2012 -- sorry, gloria, who was indisputably a brilliant businessman. he was a fine governor. he had problems in his campaign, and so it doesn't necessarily translate that if you have run a business you know how to run a political campaign, and he doesn't know very many people who have run political campaigns and he's basically been running it himself. >> of course, the larger issues, and if you have problems with your campaign, what does that mean for you actually in your government's ability if you make it to the white house? >> it does. i think one of the things he'll show case tonight is a bunch of people who could potentially end up in a cabinet of donald trump's to show you the seriousness of his endeavor, but the thing about donald trump is he's kept it so small, and now that he's on a larger playing field, not only at the convention, but also in the country, of course, the question is how quickly can he expand it,

and does he have the machinery in place to compete with the behemoth of the campaign that is hillary clinton? >> i think it's there's a little too much psychology going on here with trying to translate the production of a massive event and sort of make something of trump's character because the speeches are running late. i think the melania response this morning was a disaster. we didn't need to be talking about this all day had he just come out and said i'm firing someone over this. it was a mistake. that was a disaster and that, i think, we can try to divine some insight into his character and judgment, but, look, the rnc is putting this convention on. there will be hiccups. if there are hiccups at the dnc i'm not going to make that a hillary clinton character or judgment issue. some of it is just -- >> that's how it goes.

>> it's not a character issue. i'm saying it's a sign of organizational distress that there isn't the kind of infrastructure that you need to run a general election campaign in place yet, and i think that's what's reflected here, and you're right, what you call hiccups at the dnc, i think they'll be asking questions as to how that happened and my argument is it will run more smoothly. >> many would argue that there were no hiccups, and many would argue that rudy giuliani had the appropriate spot and you had the man up there who was known to be a staunch ally of police come out and say we need to unite. we need one america. we don't need a black america or a white america. that was exactly the message -- >> don't you wish more people saw that moment? because she was great and she's wonderful. >> perhaps she should have had a different speaking spot, and rudy giuliani was the right spot and featuring heros and featuring everyday americans. it was the way that he did, it

was a far more successful convention than that of romney and mccain. >> i agree. it was a great night. >> think something really important just happened in the country, and i think we have two different responses. i think there are some people who are horrified that donald trump is the nominee, and you also have a lot of people feeling vindicated right now. there are a lot of people out there and democrats need to get square with this. >> they've not had a champion. they felt they're haven't had anybody to speak for them. i'm talking about those working-class white guys and places out like indiana who haven't seen a raise in a long time, who worry about their kids and for a long time they have felt that the democratic party has been more interested in, you know, minorities and different language constructions than their lives. >> so this judgment not just on the republican party or the establishment and it's a judgement on the entire political class that people got this far off the path and they say this is good for us.

i just want to say that something big happened tonight in this country and we have to deal with that. >> there is more coming up. d delegates just nominated him and we have donald jr. and tiffany coming up. t-mobile covers your business in more places.

and to be able to do that it's historic and awesome. >> i'm not so sure people can see, but you're tearing up right now. >> it's -- it's pretty real. i have to speak later today and i have to get my composure. it's a surreal moment and a it's a real movement. he's had a track record of success and accomplishment and he wants to bring that to this country, and he's going to do that. everyone talks about it in theory and he's actually done these things. >> let's talk about how your dad is feeling. did you talk to him before coming out here, before you were doing what you just did? >> i've been running around a little bit like crazy today, so i haven't had a chance to catch up with him all that much. we've had a crazy day. i get to speak tonight, but i'm sure i'll be hearing from him and my phone will be hearing from him in a few minutes and i couldn't be happier to be a part of this. >> you're speaking tonight. a preview? >> we'll see. we'll see. it will be impassioned and i'll talk about my father a little bit and also still talk about

the severity of the situation that we're in as a country because too many times i've seen the fluffy joking about the father thing and we're just not in that situation. i would love to be able to deliver that speech, but we're not there. >> you talked about the fact that you're not from a family of politicians. you have been in the public eye because of who your father is all of your life, but still, this is a different kind of moment, could you ever have imagined this moment happening right now? >> not before he announced last june. the second he announced if there was one thing i've learned about my father and one thing i know about my father is never bet against him when he puts his mind to something. he gets things done throughout his whole career, and he's spectacular. he's one of a kind. >> as you see here looking around with the signs and you're kind of in the moment, can you reflect for a second on what this year has been like for the trump family? >> listen, it's been trough. it's been brutal and a lot of work. i mean, we got involved because we believe in his message.

meaning my sibling, myself and my whole family. we want him to do what's right for this country because we know he can do that and we want this country to be better for our kids than the way we received it. that's not the way we're going, dana. the politicians have ruined the country and they've done it time and time again. what's different from this batch than the last? he's an outer and he can do that and make the changes and he'll do a phenomenal job. >> i got it. we are back. we will take a short break and we will have more live from the convention when we come back. ♪

[ cheering ] donald was the first guy that recognized the potential that we saw in the ufc, and encouraged us to build our business. he hosted our first two events in his venue. he dealt with us personally, he

got in the trenches with us and he made a deal that worked for everyone. on top of that, he showed up for the fight on saturday night and sat in the front row. yeah. he's that guy. he shows up. donald championed the u ushgufce it was popular and before it grew into a successful business and i will always be so grateful for him for standing with us in those early days so tonight i stand with donald trump.

he will work with people, and he will put in the time to get things done. third, for over 15 years donald trump has been a loyal and supportive friend, and i know that if i needed donald he would be there for me just like he was when i first met him. he's one of these guys that sometimes he'll pick up the phone and will call me and say, hey, good luck with the fights tonight. i'm going to be watching or whatever it is that we might have going on, and he always reaches out to me when something has happened in my career. back in 2011 we signed this huge network television deal with fox, and they did a big write-up in "the new york times," donald took that paper and wrote on the front and said congratulations, dana, i always knew you were going to do it. just for the record, donald has nothing to do with my business. we're not in business together. his interest in me and my business are personal, and in my opinion, you can really tell a

person's true character when they're happy for somebody else's success, okay?

describe hillary clinton. [ applause ] >> this is the same hillary we knew in arkansas, and later in washington for so many years. hillary always wanted more government, and her dreams have only gotten bigger. regretfully, she offers more of the same. the same uncertain leadership in fighting terrorism. the same failed top-down approach to health care where washington tells the states what to do. the same nanny state regulations that strangle the economic strength of america. if you liked the last eight years then hillary will give you double for your trouble. but good things are happening in the states. in arkansas, we are creating jobs and leading in computer

secrets when she was secretary of state, and what she said about what she did both before and after she got caught exquisitely sums up the case against her presidency. she sent and received secret and top secret and beyond top secret information and e-mails on an unsecure private e-mail system instead of on the secure government system, and she did it without authorization. she said falsely, that there was no classified information. she said, falsely, that what she did was authorized. what else did she say? she said, and these are her words, when we travel to sensitive places like russia we often received warnings from

department security officials to leave our blackberries, laptops, anything that communicated with the outside world on the plane with their batteries removed to prevent foreign intelligence services from compromising them and then she added, falsely, even in friendly settings, we conducted business under secret security procautions, taking care when we used material and used our technology. that's from her book which is entitled, ironically, "hard choices." hard choices, indeed. in reality, we now know that she chose to use her private e-mail overseas in countries that were hostile to the united states and that have sophisticated hacking

capability. although her system was so remarkably primitive, the fbi couldn't figure out whether or not it had been hacked. we do know that the e-mails of people she communicated with were hacked. so i guess about her e-mails, we're soon going to hear the same infamous question that we heard about the death of four americans in benghazi, what difference at this point does it make? well, secretary clinton, it makes a big difference. the united states is the only country in the world that was founded based not on blood or land, but based on a law, the constitution. hillary clinton is running for an office, the presidency, whose powers and duties are defined by that law. the most important power that that law gives the president is

to be commander in chief of the armed forces to protect the country. that law imposes really only one substantive duty on the president and that is, as written in the constitution, to take care that the laws be faithfully executed. that law, the constitution, specifically requires that before taking up those powers and duties the president swear to an oath and it's the only oath that set forth in the constitution to faithfully execute the office and to preser preserve, protect and defend the constitution. hillary clinton took a similar oath before she became secretary of state. you know what that adds up to? what that adds up to is that hillary clinton is asking the people of this country, the people of the united states to make her the first president in history to take the

constitutional oath of office after already having violated it.

have proven to not withstand the fbi investigation. this whole night so far generally speaking has been a real disen vowment of secretary of state hillary clinton, at least an attempt to do so. you had the attorney general of arkansas talking about how clinton has poor judgment policies and decisions and you will have that very sober discussion by attorney general mukasey of his view of everything she did wrong in the e-mail controversy. >> do you think that works for the party and attracts voters? >> i think general mukasey has a great reputation, and he has a very -- he's very sober and he has a lot of gravitas, i think. somebody like him, i don't know that it necessarily changes the election, but i think his presentation was a fair -- was a fairly credible one and he's a

respectful guy. i haven't had a chance to fact check every point he has made, but certainly a lot of them let me say one other thing. something a lot of viewers did not see because probably very few networks if any were covering it, was the chair, the co-chair of the republican national committee, sharon day, said that hillary clinton in her speech which a lot of people didn't hear, said in her speech that hillary clinton as first lady went after the character of, this is a quote, victims of her husband's sexual abuse, victims of bill clinton. i have never heard, certainly that's something that republicans say but generally speaking, it's not the kind of thing you hear the co-chair of the republican committee say at a national convention. it is a very strong charge. we would have to do like an hour special just to go into every specific claim and counter-claim

but boy, that really gives you an idea of where this election is headed. >> she was very, very blunt last night. we heard three speakers say that hillary clinton actually belongs in jail as well. stand by. we are standing by, donald trump is getting ready to speak live. we'll be hearing what he has to say. also, two of his children will be speaking later tonight. we will have coverage of that. donald trump jr., tiffany trump. much more after this. see me. see me. don't stare at me. see me. see me. see me to know that psoriasis is just something that i have. i'm not contagious. see me to know that... ...i won't stop until i find what works. discover cosentyx, a different kind of medicine for moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

momentarily, donald trump is going to be addressing the republican national convention. stand by for live coverage of that. jake, before donald trump speaks, the chief lobbyist for the national rifle association will be speaking on guns, and natalie gulbis, the professional golfer, will speak as well. she was one of donald trump's "celebrity apprentice" program i guess entertainers. whatever you want to call it. >> he really has been able to bring in celebrities in a way we haven't seen traditionally in the republican conventions. but i have to say in terms of

chris cox, the lobbyist for the nra, it is really, really remarkable how quickly donald trump, who earlier in his career, not even that long ago, was in favor of some forms of gun control, it's been really surprising how quickly he was able to convince the nra that he was 100% on their side. i think one of the ways he's been able to do that, even though he is not particularly a hunter or a sportsman, is his sons. his sons are so active in the nra, they are avid hunters, their love of it is one of the reasons he was able to convince the nra he was totally on board. >> earliest endorsement of any candidate by the nra. chris cox, former u.s. congressman, will be speaking right now. >> i want to talk to you tonight about a very personal freedom, your right to protect your life.

because as much as we don't like to think about it, we live in dangerous times. we are worried and we have reason to be, because our government has failed to keep us safe. you have to be able to protect yourself and your family and that's what the second amendment is all about. imagine a young mother at home with her baby, when a violent predator kicks the door in. he's a three-time loser who was released from prison early because some politician wanted to show their compassion. what's she going to do? she will dial 911 and pray. the police will do their best to get there quickly, but their average response time is 11 minutes. so the question is, should she be able to defend herself with a firearm in her own home? of course. friends, that question is on the

ballot in november and here's why. eight years ago, the supreme court ruled that we have a fundamental individual right to protect ourselves and our families with a firearm in our own homes. they should have ruled it 9-0 but the second amendment survived by just one vote. after justice scalia's death, that vote is gone. in case you're wondering where hillary clinton stands, she said quote, the supreme court is wrong on the second amendment. think about that. all the supreme court said was that you have the right to protect your life in your own home, but hillary says they're wrong. it's that simple. a hillary clinton supreme court means your right to own a firearm is gone. make no mistake. this election is not about the next four years.

it's about the next 40 years. so voting for hillary clinton or not voting is simply not an option. what's so outrageous is that for the rest of her life, hillary clinton will never even think about dialing 911. for the past 30 years, she hasn't taken a walk, a nap or a bathroom break without a good guy with a gun there to protect her. so it's easy for her to dismiss a right that she will never have to use but for the rest of us, the choice to own a firearm is ours to make. in america, there cannot be one set of rules for the clintons and another set for us. but here's hillary's problem.

american women are the fastest growing group of gun owners. millions own firearms. millions. and millions more are thinking about it. it's not hillary clinton who says women should have that choice. it's donald trump. donald trump is a life member of the national rifle association. so are his sons, don and eric, because we are the largest and oldest civil rights organization in america. we fight for the rights of all americans regardless of race, religion or sexual orientation, because the right to protect your life is the most precious right you have. friends, the five million men and women of the nra will fight without apology for your right to protect your life but we a
