tones and bold promises. there was nothing subtle about donald trump's message last night. >> i humbly and gratefully accept your nomination for the presidency of the united states. >> reporter: in the biggest speech of his life, donald trump declaring america's in crisis. >> not only have our citizens endured domestic disaster, but they've lived through one international humiliation after another. >> reporter: at times painting an exceedingly dark picture of the state of the country. >> the attacks on our police and the terrorism of our cities threaten our very way of life. >> reporter: the republican nominee speaking ominously about the dangers of illegal immigration. >> where was the sanctuary for all of the other americans who have been so brutally murdered

and who have suffered so, so horribly. >> reporter: and portraying america as a broken nation that he is uniquely qualified to bring together. >> nobody knows the system better than me, which is why i alone can fix it. >> reporter: trump's message for the public, i'm with you. >> people who work hard but no longer have a voice, i am your voice. >> reporter: rejecting globalism, trump insisting america first. >> usa, usa. >> reporter: his key theme, restoring law and order to a country he says has been overwhelmed with crime and violence. >> the crime and violence that today afflicts our nation will soon, and i mean very soon, come to an end. >> reporter: trump blaming america's ills on his rival, hillary clinton, and the obama

administration. >> this is the legacy of hillary clinton. death, destruction, terrorism, and weakness. >> reporter: casting clinton as a politician controlled by donors. >> she is their puppet, and their pull the strings. >> reporter: and the republicans as the party of truth. >> if you want to hear the corporate spin, the carefully crafted lies, and the media myths, the democrats are holding their convention next week. go there. >> reporter: his attacks revving up the cleveland crowd, but the nominee showed signs of restraint, quieting calls to send clinton to jail, instead focusing on the fight ahead. >> let's defeat her in november. >> reporter: and avoiding using his popular moniker crooked hillary, a stark difference from

his boisterous rallies. in the longest acceptance speech in 40 years, trump reinforced the key promises of his campaign. >> we are going to build a great border wall. >> reporter: while dialing back on others, like his proposed ban on all muslims entering the u.s. >> we must immediately suspend immigration from any nation that has been compromised by terrorism. >> donald j. trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the united states. >> reporter: the republican nominee challenging conservative orthodoxy by sharply criticizing america's trade deals and denouncing the foreign policy of both democratic and republican administrations. >> after 15 years of wars in the middle east, after trillions of dollars spent and thousands of lives lost, the situation is worse than it has ever been

before. >> reporter: trump making history as the first republican nominee to embrace the lgbtq community at a convention. >> i will do everything in my power to protect our lgbtq citizens from the violence and oppression of a hateful foreign ideology. >> reporter: the new york billionaire completing his improbable takeover of the republican party, though it hasn't been smooth sailing this week. with ted cruz's endorsement snub and the plagiarism controversies involving his wife, trump and his running mate trying to project a united front and hoping cleveland gives them a boost heading into november. and guys, donald trump's advisers have made no secret of their theory of this race. they want to reach out and identify with the disenfranchised, those unsettled by what's been happening in the

country, those who haven't felt an economic recovery. donald trump making very clear last night that's who he's going after. more or less doubling down on what we've seen over the last couple months. the question now is, is that group of people a big enough part of the electorate to win in november? that's something we're going to have to wait to find out. guys? >> phil, thanks so much for setting all that up for us. let's discuss it now with christine quinn, hillary clinton supporter and the vice chair of the new york state democratic party. and cnn political commentator corey lewandowski. he's a former trump campaign manager who is still receiving severance pay from the trump campaign. good morning to both of you. >> good morning. >> christine, your impressions of the speech last night? >> you know, i think the speech was incredibly angry. it was -- donald trump in some ways amped up. i think at the end of the day, it's not a message that's going to bring the extra voters that donald trump needs to win. i don't think he cle-- he clear the opposite of reaching out to

latinos. he doubled down on his efforts to keep people out. he didn't put any new plans out that could give americans a confidence that behind that anger is actually a plan to eradicate it. i just have to say as an lgbt person myself, it was so noteworthy that he said he would stand with the lgbtq community international. >> protect you from terrorism. >> internationally, right. which is what he should be doing for every citizen. but he stood in a convention center that put out the most anti-lgbt platform we've seen recently, endorsing conversion therapy, something that we know has literally caused children to take their lives. that's not keeping me and my brothers and sisters safe. and it's not going to reach out to mothers and fathers and guardians in america who want to protect their children in every way. it was angry. it was vitriolic, and it lacked anything to give voters hope.

yes, they want their anger affirmed, but they want hope. >> there's an indication that it worked. our poll after the speech last night, 57% of the respondents said they saw it highly favorable. >> very positive reaction. ympbl >> why do you think, corey? >> what you have is he's telling the truth. that's what's gotten donald trump where he is today. he's talked about things no other candidates want to talk about. he talked about those individuals, those specific people, those american citizens who have had their lives or their family's lives taken from them from illegal aliens. he's talked about the need to make sure he appoints the right person to the supreme court. it's an important issue as it relates to the second amendment, which is a big issue not just for the republican base but those working class individuals who are very concerned about a supreme court appointee who may limit their second amendment rights. he talked about student loan debt. he talked about the need to make sure that trade specifically comes back. look, the message of this speech was very clear. two things. number one, america first. he's very clear about that.

number two, make america great again. if you had to summarize what the clinton campaign stands for, you go out on the street and ask those people, nobody knows the answer. if you ask what donald trump stands for, it's very simple. he wants to make america great green. his vision is different than the clinton campaign's vision. what the difference is here is he's laid out a way to put americans first and make sure we're not going to war if it's not in the best interest of our country. we're not going to do things anymore that aren't in the best interest of our people. that's the difference. >> he's laid out a slogan. a new slogan every night. summing it up with the one last night. but he hasn't actually laid out plans. i want to say, i find it the height of hypocrisy that donald trump would stand on this national stage talking about trade and loss of jobs when he himself in his company has taken countless jobs out of america, laid american workers off to move jobs abroad. this is a man who says one thing and does another, and what he does is not ever in the interest

of the people he's working with or wants to work for. it's in the interest of his bank account and his pocketbook. >> the law and order candidate, which he is now clearly representing, is not just about what the police are doing versus the nonpolice. this is about hillary clinton and everybody else. there are two separate sets of rules. she should have clearly been indicted by the federal bureau of investigation. they chose not to do that. there are two separate sets of rules here. the people of america, outside the beltway, outside new york city, understand that and they're frustrated by that. that's what he's talking about. if you look at the people he's talking to, those are the people in ohio, where we sit today, the people in pennsylvania. in order for him to win this election, which he's going to do, you need to win those states. those are the people that are going to take you there. >> before chris says it, back off of new york, brother. it's an important city. the best city in the world. and a city that's shown the deepest american values coming back from the worst terrorist attack. so new yorkers need jobs. don't be picking on my city, brother. that's all i'm saying.

>> those people who have lost their jobs through bad trade deals, new york has had the same problem as ohio, as michigan. >> you know what was an interesting moment? he made a direct appeal to bernie sanders supporters. he said the system is rigged against you. what can donald trump do for liberals? >> look, it's the trade issue. bernie sanders has his supporters are in the exact same spot that donald trump has been, which is america is being taken advantage of because of bad trade deals. hillary clinton has supported the tpp, a number of bad trade deals. this has been a major component of the democratic primary race, where hillary clinton had to continue to move her position to align herself with the bernie sanders wing of the party. she's still not there 100%. that's why on two separate occasions last night during the speech he reached out those sanders people and said, come join me, because if you want a good trade deal, you want america first, i will get you there. >> if he had any interest in reaching out to sanders voters, and the polls show repeatedly that all of the worry that the sanders voters would not support

secretary clinton is completely untrue. only a few single digits of sanders voters are out there not yet coming to secretary clinton. a very unified party versus the vast lack of unity we saw here over this week, i.e. ted cruz. but if donald trump had any interest in even thinking about sanders voters, why did he pick a vice presidential nominee who has one of the worst records on women, one of the worst records on choice, and in fact was the person who started the most recent rash of legislative attacks against the lgbt community. and people, you know, on this stage behind me have heralded what governor pence did economically in his state. let's look back to not so long ago when he pushed for the anti-lgbt legislation that almost caused the ncaa to move out of the state and cost his state tons of money. >> donald trump is the first candidate to put someone on stage, a business executive in

peter thiel, who's openly gay on a republican platform, to give him a primetime speaking slot to tell about his inclusion into this. you can say what you want about this. this has been a very inclusive convention. it is a cohesive convention. every republican delegate who was in this room last night is voting for donald trump and not hillary clinton. i'm sure of that. >> look, in terms of broadening the base, maybe you're right. maybe every delegate in this room is going to vote for donald trump now. but you also had the least latino and black delegates you've had in recent history. >> ever. >> so there's some work there to do. the question is, did that speech last night help take him to the next level? >> and it's great to put an openly lgbt person on the stage, but when that stage is based on a platform that doesn't support marriage, supports conversion therapy, a practice that all legitimate psychiatrists and psychologists have singled out as life threatening to children. i can tell you people i know who went through that. they're lucky they got out

alive. you can put whoever you want on the stage, but if you're really attacking our children, you're not for us. >> i don't think anybody is attacking anyone in that regard. >> that's what conversion therapy is. >> corey, christine, thank you. great to talk to you. >> so donald trump certainly living up to people's satisfaction. he certainly did things we haven't seen at an rnc. you just saw his daughter walking out. she talked about wage equality for women last night. donald trump thanked the crowd for being supportive of lgbtq rights. that's new. we have jason carroll, cnn correspondent, taking us through the ivanka effect from last night. what did you see, my friend? >> reporter: well, chris, ivanka trump told the crowd last night that real change has to come from outside the system. she described her father as a fighter and a man of kindness and compassion. all this in an effort to portray a different side of the candidate and to reach out to women and communities of color. >> like many of my fellow

millennials, i do not consider myself categorically republican or democrat. more than party affiliation, i vote based on what i believe is right for my family and for my country. >> reporter: donald trump's eldest daughter ivanka trying to broaden her father's appeal, branding him the people's nominee. >> my father values talent. he recognizes real knowledge and skill when he finds it. he is color blind and gender neutral. he hires the best person for the job, period. >> reporter: ivanka trump making the case to female voters. >> at my father's company, there are more female than male executives. women are paid equally for the work that we do, and when a woman becomes a mother, she is supported, not shut out. he will fight for equal pay for equal work, and i will fight for this too right alongside of him.

>> reporter: her speech caps four days of personal testimonies from trump's children and his wife melania. >> in the same office in trump tower where we now work together, i remember playing on the floor by my father's desk, constructing miniature buildings with legos and erector sets while he did the same with concrete, steel, and glass. my father taught my siblings and me the importance of positive values and a strong ethical compass. >> reporter: it wasn't just a family affair. trump's business partner and personal friend of 40 years tom barrick touting a side of trump many may not know. >> he has these relentless, beautiful habits. he shows up on time. he believes that punctuality is the courtesy of kings. he doesn't confuse efforts with results. he befriends the bewildered. >> reporter: and in a historic moment, openly gay tech billionaire peter thiel receiving a rousing response

after making this statement. >> of course every american has a unique identity. i am proud to be gay. i am proud to be a republican. but most of all, i am proud to be an american. >> reporter: thiel insisting conservatives are focused on the wrong social issues. >> now we are told that the great debate is about who gets to use which bathroom. this is a distraction from our real problems. who cares? >> reporter: his comments come as the republican party is facing criticism for passing an anti-lgbt platform, which stands in sharp contrast to trump's views on gays. >> i will do everything in my power to protect our lgbtq citizens from the violence and oppression of a hateful foreign ideology. believe me.

>> reporter: and trump supporters say the speeches last night were definitely the bright spot during a rocky convention week. despite all that, they say last night's speeches will end up putting all of that to rest. alisyn? >> okay, jason. thanks so much for breaking all that down for us. over on the democratic side, hillary clinton might try to steal the spotlight today from donald trump by announcing her vp pick. cnn's senior washington correspondent joe johns live in orlando, where clinton's campaigning today. do we think it's going to happen today, joe? >> reporter: that's anybody's guess, quite frankly, alisyn. i can tell you her day will get off to a solemn start here in orlando, florida. she's coming here to meet with the mayor and others to talk about the recent massacre at the pulse nightclub. the expectation is that she will make an announcement on a vp selection either today or tomorrow during campaign swings here in this state. among the people who have been

mentioned right up at the top is senator tim kaine of virginia. this is a guy who conceivably would bring a lot to the hillary clinton campaign. he's a former governor of the state of virginia, a state that will be very important in the upcoming november election. he's also a former chair of the democratic national committee, a fluent spanish speaker. all of those things would mitigate in his favor. among the others mentioned right in the top tier, that is agriculture secretary tom vilsack. he also comes from a very important state. that would be iowa. conceivably would bring to the ticket the ability to reach out to people in small towns and talk to them. she's met with a number of other individuals, and how is that information going to get out about her vp selection? well, we've been told she intends to put that out in a text message to her supporters. that's, of course, if

journalists don't get ahold of the story first. back to you. >> that was a good caveat there, joe johns. thank you very much. so one of the stories that has certainly been dominant here at the convention is trump's kids and their efforts as really adults -- we keep calling them kids. but were they effective in trying to broaden the appeal of their father? in the biggest example, ivanka trump with the important job of making his introduction. we're going to talk about that next. ♪ i'm free to do what i want and have a good time.♪ the ford freedom sales event is on! and zero for 72 is back! on 2016 ford focus, fusion and escape. plus specially tagged vehicles get an extra $1000 smart bonus. that means freedom from interest... and freedom to choose...

>> ivanka trump reaching out to women voters as she introduced her father last night, but did trump's speech help his appeal to all voters? joining us now is cnn political analyst and host of "the david gregory show" podcast, david gregory. senior editor of "the atlantic" brown brownstein. david, she talked about a lot of things her father has not talked about. pay equity and better working conditions for pregnant working women, for working moms. what did you make of it? >> i think it's a certain amount of testimony about her father but also the kind of professional and businessman that he is. i mean, i think she is trying to fillbiography. she's done it well before. i i think the cnn town hall that exposed more americans to that side of donald trump. clearly it's not something he's very good at doing himself, filling out his own biography. so much of his time in such a long speech is filled with a very personal, dark vision for

america, kind of personal politics. he has to rely on ivanka trump. i don't know that he can do that between now and election day, but he can certainly rely on her as probably his most important surrogate. >> it is not fair to put any standard on his kids of objectivity about their father. that's wrong and silly. however, ron brownstein, as you've been pointing out very astutely, what she was saying is something that's very different than what he's doing. >> it was the alternative universe version of what the campaign could have been. there's a debate, kind of a parlor game among political professionals. what if he had run as a can-do outsider who was going to take his private sector smarts to shake up the public sector without the harsh rhetoric on immigration and on muslims and kind of the divisive nativism. her speech was that campaign. there was none of that in her remarks. she really did, i think, make an effective case for him as someone who is not biased by

race or by gender and cares more about results. the problem is he followed her immediately after and gave a speech that was very polarizing, very confrontational, and had this menacing view of america that does resonate with the people for him. the question is whether it will seem plausible and/or desirable for those more moderate, suburban white-collar voters that are the biggest barrier between him and the white house at this point. >> meave, how did you see it? >> i thought she did a great job in terms of doing what he's not been able to do on the campaign trail in terms of reaching out to those independent voters, actually having a message that would appeal to women in a specific way. i mean, there were no policy specifics in what she talked about, but it was the first time that we heard her really lay out an agenda that she said her father would be a part of. so we'll be waiting to hear the actual details from the campaign on that since they don't have any so far. >> i think voters are going to

do a risk analysis on donald trump. there's such a desire to shake up the system, to do something different. the question is, is he too risky? you know, you get the impression from him, he's clearly not a policy wonk. he may not sweat a lot of those details. and congress can do a lot of the domestic policy. as the strong man who plays on fear, he's risky in terms of america and the rest of the world. so i think voters do this risk analysis. is he acceptable enough, and can they accept enough risk associated with him to give it a shot? he's got to work on the idea that he's acceptable enough that he's worth taking some risk because conditions are so bad. >> and he did show some restraint last night in terms of pulling back. we saw that a number of times. when you see him at his rallies, he really whips up the crowd. that room felt a little flat at certain times during his speech. >> well, it was 75 minutes. it was the longest in decades. it was late already when it started. >> it was almost decades. >> but there was one moment last night. i thought he had a couple

moments in a positive way we haven't seen before. he smiled, which matters for politicians. he doesn't usually. he did it a lot. when they said lock her up, he calmed them down and said, no, let's defeat her. when he talked about lgbtq and they applauded, he said good for you for applauding. and ron, this may be the most important one. when he says the system, the system, the system and nobody knows the system better than me. and he stopped during the speech and backed up from the podium and kind of did one of his gestures where it's like, look, as if to signal to my interpretation -- ron, tell me if i'm wrong. i know it's not a good thing i was part of this system, but that's why only i can fix it. i don't know that american people will go for a guy who's part of the problem. >> well, you know, first of all all the other examples you made, absolutely right. those were grace notes for donald trump that were a different kind of tenor and tone than we've often seen from him.

that, i think -- what you're describing, i was part of the system and therefore i can fix it, was a continuation of what he had his kids do all the way through, which is when they kept saying, i learn more from people on the front lines than kind of the mbas in the boardroom, it was to try to deal with the improbability of a thrice-married billionaire from manhattan being the populous tribune of these disaffected voters. they have done that. his strength and kind of working class white america is enormous at this point in the poll. to david's point, the bigger problem is you have a significant chunk of voters, many of whom usually vote republican, who view him as two risky on three fronts. is he qualified, is he dangerous on foreign policy, and will he be too racially divisive at home? i think he made some progress there, particularly with the testimony from his children, but the tone of the speech may have rattled some of those voters. >> when you talk about law and order and all of the various ailments in the country, what's wrong with the country and people coming to get you and

make your life different, that's going to fault on a lot of years as being highly intolerant. >> there are people who are going to hear this speech as there are people who don't look like you who are coming to kill you. >> known as europe. >> but also, cnn had this focus group and took an instant poll. 57% of them saw it as very positive. not somewhat positive, very positive. only 24% saw it as negative. >> panel, thank you very much. we'll have much more on the republican convention ahead for you. next, new questions about the police shooting of an unarmed man in florida. why did the officers shoot this behavioral therapist who was sitting on the ground with his hands up trying to help his autistic patient? we talk about that in a live report next. soon, she'll be binge-studying. get back to great. now get a swiss gear backpack for only $10. office depot officemax. gear up for school. gear up for great.

the north miami police officer who shot an unarmed black behavioral therapist who was helping an autistic patient is now on paid leave and speaking out. the police union is doing that speaking. they're saying that the officer was actually trying to protect

the therapist. cnn's polo sandoval is live in miami with more. that's going to be a reckoning that seems to fight the facts. what have you found out? >> reporter: we know now, chris, that this police union is stepping up to represent this officer, now saying that this officer likely accidently misfired, striking this gentleman in the leg, that he was initially trying to shoot his patient, believing he posed a threat. we now know that threat wasn't a gun, that was previously called in, but a toy truck. that patient was actually autistic. in fact, if you look at that video that's now gone viral, you're able to see and hear how mr. kinsey is trying to de-escalate what was an extremely tense situation here, trying to talk to officers, explaining he was the behavioral therapist and the man sitting next to him was actually his patient. ultimately, though, the officers feeling the need to -- at least that officer feeling the need to pull the trigger, wounding mr. kinsey, according to these new

reports, accidently. that officer releasing a brief statement, not identifying himself, but saying, quote, i took this job to save lives and help people. i did what i had to do in a split second to accomplish that and hate to hear others paint me as something that i am not. now, again, this new theory here that's circulating on the ground here is very important, as it can ultimately take a different turn in this story. but we do understand that the community here asking for questions but the city of north miami actively speaking to mr. kinsey's attorneys trying to resolve this, trying to settle this and most importantly, chris, trying to find some of those crucial answers for the community and of course mr. kinsey himself. >> a lot of bizarre circumstances to this one. the man who was shot quoted as saying that the officer told him he didn't know why he shot him. polo, we know you'll stay on it. appreciate that. coming up in the next hour, we're going to hear from the victim's attorney about this controversial police shooting. how did the victim see this

donald trump gave the longest convention speech in decades. it was an hour and 15 minutes. chris was clocking it. >> nothing compared to the length of our show. >> that's true. if you can make it through that, well, maybe you can make it through this. donald trump focused heavily on terror and painted hillary clinton as weak on the issue. >> after 15 years of wars in the middle east, after trillions of dollars spent and thousands of lives lost, the situation is worse than it has ever been before. this is the legacy of hillary clinton. death, destruction, terrorism, and weakness. >> joining us now, former democratic governor of michigan and senior adviser to correct

the record, jennifer granholm. thank you for sticking with us this morning. >> so glad to be here so early with you guys. >> thank you. we almost believe you. >> i'm drinking his coffee now. >> you're not the first, by the way. >> it's true. let's talk about the lens through which donald trump sees the world and so many of his supporters and even americans who are on the fence. and that is that things have gotten more unstable. look at the rise of isis. look at the terror in paris, in brussels. look at brexit. look at -- all of that makes people feel that, yes, in the past eight years, some of which hillary clinton was secretary of state, the world has become less stable. what do you say to that? >> i think that him picking out individual incidents that he can amplify allows him to make that case. but if you look at the actual facts, for example, he keeps saying that crime has gone up. well, actually, crime is at its lowest point -- >> here, domestically.

>> since 2007. he keeps saying there's all these immigrants coming in. the actual stops at the border have gone down dramatically. there's been a negative immigration. there have been international incidents. what's his prescription for doing something about it? pull out of nato, insult our allies, especially the muslim world, doing things that make us less safe. that's why the economist intelligence unit has said he's the third greatest global threat in the world, the biggest instability. i'm not kidding you after last night. if they re-evaluated, i bet he moves up a notch or two. it was such a negative, horrible speech. our allies and people who are online watching this, world leaders, are horrified. >> so there's your negative, your take on the negative aspect of the speech. the challenge for secretary clinton is that she is viewed largely in a negative context as well, right? her numbers are upside down. her negatives are often higher

in polls than her positive. so from the trump base perspective, the system is corrupt, they check the box. so is hillary clinton. she lies about things that matter. the world, i'm not safe. isis is on the come. there are more attacks from terror, homegrown or otherwise, than we've ever seen before. she was secretary of state. i check that box. how does she defeat that premise when she does have her hands all over the status quo? >> first of all, you said something smart at the beginning of that question, which was for the trump base, yeah, she checks that box. there was such i have trvitriol hatred here for her. this is the very hard core republican base. >> but her negative polls assess americans. >> what a great opportunity she's got next week though. it is going to be a positive convention. they're going to talk about bringing people together, that we're stronger when we are together. i just -- i am looking forward to this contrast because i think it will be quite stark.

>> you know, last night donald trump made an appeal to bernie sanders supporters. he said that the system is rigged against you. we heard from corey lewandowski this morning that they feel that trade policies in the past she supported were stacked against them. >> well, trade -- i'm come frlg michigan, right. so there's no doubt that trade is an important and huge issue and we have to adopt trade agreements that are fair. she's saying that same thing. she says how she'll do it. she's going to appoint trade prosecutors. she's got specific plans in how those would be renegotiated. >> he did not have his hands on trade policy. she has. >> she supported her boss in the transpacific partnership. but when it came down for her evaluation of it, when she was gone, she said, i'm not supporting that. but she's not going to go against the person who appointed her to the position. she's going to do what her boss tells her. >> that's leadership? >> well, come on. your dad appoints somebody as a member of his cabinet and they

go against their boss? they won't be in the cabinet very long if they do that. it's a boss. when she had the chance to do it on her own, she voted against trade agreements that she felt were unfair. she says we're not afraid of trade, bring it on, let's just make sure it's fair and we're making stuff here and exporting it there and with go after china, we don't allow them to manipulate currency. we make the best stuff. and she's got plans to be able to bring stuff here and create economic clusters, like manufacturing here. >> all right. we got to go to break. who's going to be the vp nominee? quickly. >> i think the smart money is on tim kaine. >> good. then that's my bet. would you like to wager? >> i do like that one too. >> i like tom vilsack too. he's a great guy. i love tom perez. they're all great. >> vilsack is certainly in the running. we just put up the short list. we're going to have more on the rnc ahead. first, ten people were just arrested in rio with suspected terror ties. now, we know that's where the

olympics are in just two weeks. what are officials doing to keep people safe? there's something you need to know about these ten people. we'll tell you straight ahead. ...there's no such thing as adverse conditions. ♪ come to the lexus golden opportunity sales event this is the pursuit of perfection.

a scare in rio just two weeks before the 2016 summer games get under way. brazilian police arresting ten suspected of plotting an isis-inspired terrorist attack. joining us now, cnn correspondent shasta darlington. she's in rio already. we also have cnn global affairs analyst and contributing writer to "the daily beast," kim dozier. few understand the international terror environment as kim does. shasta, let's start with the reporting. what did with we hear about how they found these ten and what they believe they represent? >> reporter: well, listen, chris, what we know is they're all brazilian nationals arrested in a nationwide sweep. in fact, there were 12 arrest warrants. so two of them are still outstanding. officials say they've been monitoring this group for quite some time. they used messaging apps to communicate. in fact, they didn't know each other personally. they pledged their allegiance to

isis. they celebrated the attack in nice. but according to the justice minister, they were loosely organized, even amateurish. but when they started talking about planning their own attack, that's when police moved in. one man, for example, was trying to buy an ak-47 over the internet from paraguay. they were talking about getting marsh martial arts training. although, there's no evidence there was a specific target in mind, chris. >> let's take that reporting to you, kim. what we hear from officials is here's the cold water on this situation. these guys were a bunch of fools. he's trying to buy an ak-47. we don't usually deal with geniuses in these terrorist situations. what do you make or it? >> well, they didn't know each other, and most terror plots that succeed are carried out by people who already know each other through family, through fighting together in the field, or through criminal networks. but we do know that the olympics is a target for isis. and a previously unknown group

did pledge itself and its allegiance to isis earlier this week. that is a brazilian-based group. it's also a country that has a lot of crime. they've had a spike in violence in this year across the country. a lot of guns available. so you do have networks of criminals and criminals do often work with terrorists who have access to weapons so they have the means. whether isis will be able to pull something out or inspire something, we don't know. >> all right. so that's on the threat side. on the defense side, shasta, what does this tell you about how well they're doing there in terms of picking up threats and policing the games? >> reporter: well, listen, chris, what we're hearing is analysts are actually impressed. while this group may have been amateurish, they moved quickly to nip it in the bud. and they're also setting up a pretty noticeable security presence right here in rio. the city's in lockdown, if you

will. they're bringing in 85,000 police, soldiers, the navy, firefighters to secure these games. that's more than double what we saw in london. they've been working with intelligence groups around the world for over a year now. they're going to have a command and control center right here in rio with many representatives from those agencies. just walking around right now, i can tell you there are navy ships off the coast of c copacabana. the venues are already being secured by the national guard. after the attack in nice, they widened the perimeters. they're setting up more check points. you can definitely feel the security presence. that is intimidating for the criminal organizations here in rio, and they're hoping it will be for any potential terror planners as well, chris. >> kim, give us just a quick coda here on why them finding and locating this plot is a sign of them being on their game for the games. >> it's positive that they're watching the usual suspects.

if i was in a crowd in brazil, despite the high security, i'd have my vigilance up going into choke points, standing in lines outside major venues, where perhaps the security isn't as high. you can let your guard down, i believe, once you're inside. >> between terror and zika, it's going to be very interesting to see how these games shake out. thank you very much to both of you this morning. alisyn? >> okay, chris. donald trump giving a 75-minute address, and one line in particular made history. more on that when "new day" returns. then quickly fell back to earth landing on the roof of a dutch colonial. luckily geico recently helped the residents with homeowners insurance. they were able to get the roof repaired like new. they later sold the cow because they had all become lactose intolerant. call geico and see how much you could save on homeowners insurance.

>> this is "new day" with alisyn camerota and chris cuomo. >> good morning. welcome to your new day live from the republican convention in cleveland. donald trump had his big night. he declared only he can fix the issues facing america. the republican nominee painting a sobering picture of a nation in crisis as he accepted his party's nomination last night. >> trump also slamming his democratic rival and making waves with his 75-minute-long address. the speech drawing a mix of opinions from strong to overly bleak. cnn's coverage this morning begins with phil mattingly. phil, tell us what everyone heard last night. >> reporter: good morning, alisyn. the themes, they weren't different. the delivery, that was. ominous with equal parts big picture promises and major concerns about the future of the country. there was nothing subtle about his message last night.

>> i humbly and gratefully accept your nomination for the presidency of the united states. >> reporter: in the biggest speech of his life, donald trump declaring america's in crisis. >> not only have our citizens endured domestic disaster, but they've lived through one international humiliation after another. >> reporter: at times painting an exceedingly dark picture of the state of the country. >> the attacks on our police and the terrorism of our cities threaten our very way of life. >> reporter: the republican nominee speaking ominously about the dangers of illegal immigration. >> where was the sanctuary for all of the other americans who have been so brutally murdered and who have suffered so, so horribly. >> reporter: and portraying america as a broken nation that

he is uniquely qualified to bring together. >> nobody knows the system better than me, which is why i alone can fix it. >> reporter: trump's message for the public, i'm with you. >> people who work hard but no longer have a voice, i am your voice. >> reporter: rejecting globalism, trump insisting america first. >> usa, usa. >> reporter: his key theme, restoring law and order to a country he says has been overwhelmed with crime and violence. >> the crime and violence that today afflicts our nation will soon, and i mean very soon, come to an end. >> reporter: trump blaming america's ills on his rival, hillary clinton, and the obama administration. >> this is the legacy of hillary clinton. death, destruction, terrorism,

and weakness. >> reporter: casting clinton as a politician controlled by donors. >> she is their puppet, and their pull the strings. >> reporter: and the republicans as the party of truth. >> if you want to hear the corporate spin, the carefully crafted lies, and the media myths, the democrats are holding their convention next week. go there. >> reporter: his attacks revving up the cleveland crowd, but the nominee showed signs of restraint, quieting calls to send clinton to jail, instead focusing on the fight ahead. >> let's defeat her in november. >> reporter: and avoiding using his popular moniker crooked hillary, a stark difference from his boisterous rallies. in the longest acceptance speech in 40 years, trump reinforced the key promises of his campaign. >> we are going to build a great

border wall. >> reporter: while dialing back on others, like his proposed ban on all muslims entering the u.s. >> we must immediately suspend immigration from any nation that has been compromised by terrorism. >> donald j. trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the united states. >> reporter: the republican nominee challenging conservative orthodoxy by sharply criticizing america's trade deals and denouncing the foreign policy of both democratic and republican administrations. >> after 15 years of wars in the middle east, after trillions of dollars spent and thousands of lives lost, the situation is worse than it has ever been before. >> reporter: trump making history as the first republican nominee to embrace the lgbtq community at a convention. >> i will do everything in my

power to protect our lgbtq citizens from the violence and oppression of a hateful foreign ideology. >> reporter: the new york billionaire completing his improbable takeover of the republican party, though it hasn't been smooth sailing this week. with ted cruz's endorsement snub and the plagiarism controversies involving his wife, trump and his running mate trying to project a united front and hoping cleveland gives them a boost heading into november. and alisyn, it's worth noting that while last night was a huge moment for donald trump, it was also a very strategic calculation by trump and his team. they have made clear throughout the republican party and so far into the general election they're reaching out to a very specific subset of people, the people that have been disenfranchised, the people who haven't felt the economic

recovery. that was exactly who trump was targeting once again last night. not necessarily trying to broaden that message, trying to make sure that message he's been using so far hits home. the question question now going forward, the question donald trump's advisers don't even have the question to, is that a big enough piece of the electorate to win in november? we're certainly going to see. they're not shifting off that message any time soon. >> yes, of course, broadening the tent is the challenge to bring in more voters. phil, thank you for that. now that trump is the nominee, his challenge is to broaden his appeal. his daughter ivanka tried to help by introducing her father as a fighter for women's rights. cnn's jason carroll joins us now with more of that story. jason? >> reporter: as you know, she's one of trump's closest advisers. last night ivanka trump took to the stage, telling the crowd her father instilled in her values and a strong ethical compass. she told personal stories about growing up with him, all while making a special pitch to women voters.

>> like many of my fellow millennials, i do not consider myself categorically republican or democrat. more than party affiliation, i vote based on what i believe is right for my family and for my country. >> reporter: donald trump's eldest daughter ivanka trying to broaden her father's appeal, branding him the people's nominee. >> my father values talent. he recognizes real knowledge and skill when he finds it. he is color blind and gender neutral. he hires the best person for the job, period. >> reporter: ivanka trump making the case to female voters. >> at my father's company, there are more female than male executives. women are paid equally for the work that we do, and when a woman becomes a mother, she is supported, not shut out. he will fight for equal pay for equal work, and i will fight for this too right alongside of him. >> reporter: her speech caps

four days of personal testimonies from trump's children and his wife melania. >> in the same office in trump tower where we now work together, i remember playing on the floor by my father's desk, constructing miniature buildings with legos and erector sets while he did the same with concrete, steel, and glass. my father taught my siblings and me the importance of positive values and a strong ethical compass. >> reporter: it wasn't just a family affair. trump's business partner and personal friend of 40 years tom barrick touting a side of trump many may not know. >> he has these relentless, beautiful habits. he shows up on time. he believes that punctuality is the courtesy of kings. he doesn't confuse efforts with results. he befriends the bewildered. >> reporter: and in a historic moment, openly gay tech billionaire peter thiel receiving a rousing response after making this statement.

>> of course every american has a unique identity. i am proud to be gay. i am proud to be a republican. but most of all, i am proud to be an american. >> reporter: thiel insisting conservatives are focused on the wrong social issues. >> now we are told that the great debate is about who gets to use which bathroom. this is a distraction from our real problems. who cares? >> reporter: his comments come as the republican party is facing criticism for passing an anti-lgbt platform, which stands in sharp contrast to trump's views on gays. >> i will do everything in my power to protect our lgbtq citizens from the violence and oppression of a hateful foreign ideology. believe me. >> reporter: and trump supporters say the speeches last

all had -- were different, but all had the right tone for a rocky week. chris, alisyn? >> thank you, jason. >> all right. let's discuss. we have wisconsin congressman shawn duffy, one of the stars of this convention in primetime. he was with his wife at the republican national convention. great to see you. >> you too. >> you said you are happy about last night. we have numbers from the cnn instant poll. those who watched. so these numbers are going to be a little skewed. it's got to be people who watched. and these numbers tend to skew in favor of the party we're talking about. so there are more republicans. 75% viewed the speech positively or very positively. why, in your estimation?

>> he laid everything out in a way that most of my constituents see the way the country is going. he offered his vantage point on how you fix it, but he's not sugar coating anything. i think what a lot of people want, the greatest line of the speech was when he pointed at the camera and said, i'm going to fight for you. there are so many people who feel like they've been left aid side. this might be inappropriate to say, but there's a view point that says i can fight for minorities and i can fight for women. if you get that, you make up a vast majority of the voting block and you win. white males have been left aside a little bit in who speaks to them politically. donald trump is, i think, speaking across a wide breadth of people in a way that i think you're going to see these numbers pop. i think what's interesting is this convention was not the smoothest, as you mentioned,

alisyn. from the plagiarism at the start, ted cruz coming out and not endorsing. some might say a little bit of a disaster. until donald trump gets on stage. this whole campaign is a force of personality of donald trump. he drives everything on stage. the man is strong. he's stepping back from the podium with his tough stance. you know, the point -- applauding his own lines. i thought it was great. >> did he give enough specifics? that's the rap on him. critics say, yes, anybody can say i'm going to fix it, i'm going to defeat isis and i'm going to do it quickly. where are the specifics? >> so this speech -- this is not a policy speech. they never are. i think what's key is do you understand the problem? can you recognize a problem exists? you can't fix it unless you acknowledge it. he acknowledged the problem. >> do you think the world is as bleak a place as he laid out last night? do you think crime is really on the rise here? do you think illegal immigrants are really running around,

killing people at the rate he said? there's no question that the numbers suggest otherwise. i'm saying perceptually, do you think the world is as messed up as donald trump says? >> i look at the rallies taking place for black lives matter in our streets. that's bad. i look at -- >> but why is it bad to protest? that's what this country was built on. >> that's not bad. what is bad is when protests and the violent rhetoric that comes from that protest ends in policemen and women being targeted and shot by those who are siding with the protesters. that's a problem. that's new right now. >> that's important to contextualize. it's new right now. we're having a bad year going after cops, whether it's your mouth or with violence. it's up about 70% from the same time last year. if you look at it compared to when we really had trouble in the '60s, which is what i feel like trump keeps likening us to, the '60s. '68, we're at this kind of

cultural black/white crossroads. we were talking about hundreds. you know, 120, 10 c30 cops. things have gotten better, but not from that speech last night. it's like we're in the worst crisis we've been in ever. >> not the worst crisis ever, but there are crises in all different spaces of our world. there's an economic crisis in the sense that, yes, the economy is growing, but not fast enough after the downturn. we have this internal strife, cops versus black lives matter, cops are getting shot. we see the cry sus overseas, the rye yo riots in china and russia. i disagree with some of the stats you laid out earlier. i was watching my phone on the way over, you guys talking about the border. the catch and release. basically the open border policy from this administration allowing folks in. i think that is frustrating. take that all together, there's a lot of anxiety and angst across the country that donald trump tapped into.

i believe that they want a strong person, a strong personality to go out there and fight for them and win for them. that's a speech that donald trump delivered last night. >> donald trump is getting kudos for mentioning the lgbt community and saying he would protect them from this foreign hateful ideology. is that a bold position? i'm going to protect you from terrorism. >> i think the community wants him to say, i'm going to protect you. >> they also want to hear domestically i'm going to help you get the rights you deserve. >> i don't know if he was trying to walk a line there or what he was doing, but if -- did you hear the response from the crowd? >> yes. >> some will say the republicans are anti-gay. if you listen to the crowd last night, these are hardcore republicans. that was one of the loudest applauses donald trump got. >> was it a terror line or a gay rights line? looked who he picked as his vp. governor pence is no friend to the lgbt community. >> well, i don't think that's true. i don't think he believes in -- he believes in traditional

marriage, not gay marriage. >> he doesn't want to have transgender bathrooms. he believes in funding conversion therapy, which so that community is one of the most dangerous things there is. >> we can spend the whole next hour talking about -- >> wouldn't be good for you, duffy, not on this issue. >> maybe not on your show. there's a sense that says, listen, do you want to sideline a group of folks? should we reach out and talk to them? can we agree on a set of policies that can satisfy, you know, the morality on the right and the needs of a community? could i be the bridge that makes that happen? absolutely. and the start of that is actually saying it own a stage like that. >> no question. >> which is what donald did. i think you're going to see it pop. how many people tuned into this speech last night and donald trump had the opportunity to bring his message, you know, not with our commentary but directly into the homes of the american people with such a broad appeal of issues. >> when i get the numbers, i'll

send them to you by e-mail. congressman duffy, congratulations on how it went with your wife here, and thank you for being on "new day" as always. always a pleasure. we have donald trump's case against clinton to america last night. now we have hillary clinton's chance to counter. the first thing she may do may be a political move. is she going to announce who her running mate is going to be this afternoon to try to blunt a little of the effect of the trump effect last night? cnn's senior washington correspondent joe johns live in orlando where the clinton campaign is keeping us on the string about this. joe, if you had to read the tea leaves, what do they tell you? >> reporter: in the final approach to the democratic national convention in philadelphia, i got to tell you, most of the people, with the exception of cabinet secretaries who have been forbidden by president obama to speak, most of the people who have been mentioned as possible vice presidential picks for hillary clinton are actually expected to speak at the democratic national

convention. at the top of that list, of course, is senator tim kaine of virginia. this is a person who is very connected to the democratic national committee. he ran it a few years back. he's also a former governor. he has a lot going for him, including the fact that he's already been vetted. eight years ago he was in the top tier of individuals. president obama considered before he settled on joe biden. another name that's out there in the top list for hillary clinton is tom vilsack. that is the agriculture secretary at this time, also the former governor of a very important state. that would be iowa. he would be able to reach out to rural voters, people in small towns, and that would be very useful to this campaign. many other people certainly listed, including new jersey senator corey booker, elizabeth warren, the left of center senator from massachusetts, and

others. but they're keeping us waiting for sure, chris. we're here in orlando expecting to see hillary clinton, where she'll start her day speaking to the mayor and others talking about the massacre at the pulse nightclub. back to you, alisyn. >> okay, joe. keep us posted when you get any information out of them today. well, the goal of donald trump's big acceptance speech was to unite the party. did he succeed? we'll ask a former speech writer for george w. bush. be the you who shows up in that dress. who hugs a friend. who is done with treatments that don't give you clearer skin. be the you who controls your psoriasis with stelara® just 4 doses a year after 2 starter doses. stelara® may lower your ability to fight infections and may increase your risk of infections and cancer. some serious infections require hospitalization. before treatment, get tested for tuberculosis. before starting stelara® tell your doctor if you think you have an infection or have symptoms such as: fever, sweats, chills, muscle aches or cough. always tell your doctor if you have any signs of infection, have had cancer, if you develop any new skin growths

nobody knows the system better than me. which is why i alone can fix it. >> donald trump's goal was to unite the republican party, though this morning some republicans still heard division in his convention speech. here to discuss is our stellar panel. cnn political analyst david gregory, cnn political commentator matt lewis, and senior editor of "the atlantic" and former speech writer for

george bush, david frum. david, people are likening his speech -- they say it's nixonian. >> i call it nixon without the optimism. that's not a joke. if you reread all of richard nixon's accept stance speeches, you see a lot of references to crime and mayhem, but the bot bott tom two-thirds is optimism. society is pulsing with possible. president nixon makes a series of commitments, and it's also where he talks again about building bridges to america's various communities and bringing us together. that was also part of his message. none of that optimism was on display here last night. >> also, remember the context. the reason that the trump campaign likes the nixon comparisons is part of the context of the times. it is beneficial to them to say we're in like another 1968 period. remember how bad that was. but what was nixon's choice? his choice was to paint an

optimistic -- to recognize the problems but to say this can be better, it will be okay. did trump do that last night? >> no, no. 99% of it was negative. look, i think that any time you're running as a change agent, you're running against the status quo, you need to tell people how bad things are, right? we talk about it's morning again in america. that was reagan's re-election. he had the talk in 1980 about how bad the malaise was with jimmy carter. bill clinton ran against a recession, but he also talked about don't stop thinking about tomorrow. so you need to do both. you need the downside. you need the upside. not just to win a political election. i think it is incumbent upon leaders and their responsibility to be a little bit optimistic. this was depressing, and it's not good for the country. >> hold on a second. david, he said we're going to start winning again, we're going to beat isis, we're going to beat them quickly. we're going to win so much you get tired of winning. >> but there was this overhang of apocalypse and misery and crime and people coming to get

you, the subtext being people who don't look like you are coming to get you, and i alone can fix it, which is fanciful. it's one thing to be a strong man and leader, but he's facing so much head wind. more than 60% of the population saying he's not qualified for the job. so he doesn't really do anything to assuage those concerns other than talk so much about the downside, not filling up enough of his own biography. yes, there's no question he is speaking as the outsider to a system when so many people think that there's so much going wrong in the country. but again, there's a risk associated with his candidacy that i don't think he did very much to try to tamp down. >> you know, the -- one of the themes that came through last night was it's not just that things are bad, it's that clinton is to blame for them. that combination seemed to resonate. in our poll afterwards, and again, this is skewed toward people who wanted to watch the speech. it's skewed republican.

75% viewed it favorably or very favorably. what does that tell you? >> well, the speech was aimed at those at a certain segment of the republican constituency and a certain part of the republican brain. it hit those points smack on. so yes, you apply the electrodes to the right part of thor is bell yum, and you get the spasm of reaction. how will it continue? and the attack on hillary clinton, that to me, if i were the trump campaign, it would make me more than a little nervous if that's what gets the response. this is a party where according to the most recent polls, only 38% of republicans are party with their nominee. there is a lot of division within the party. you can only bring them together but not by focusing on what candidate trump is offering but by focusing on the other person. you need to keep -- the fact they have to keep saying to their supporters over and over again, clinton is worse, clinton

is worse, clinton is worse, you don't do that when you think you've got something good. >> and matt, what about people who are doing well in the country? you know, not everyone has seen their income go down. some people have seen their income go up. some people's small businesses are doing well. >> absolutely. and the funny thing is, this is the exact opposite problem republicans had four years ago. do you remember the whole you didn't build that thing? so you know, the message there was, unless you're an entrepreneur, you're not really part of the solution. so if you're a policeman, firefighter, you're not really part of the republican coalition. trump has gone the exact opposite way, right. so unless you're like a coal miner or work in a steel factory, unless you're working in manufacturing, you're not really a real republican. it's ironic coming from this casino magnet billionaire, but that's the message. i do think that it turns off especially opinion leaders. i haven't done anything in the

coal industry in years, you know. my dad was a prison guard. i get the appeal, but you've got to have a message for every sort of part of the coalition. he's very focused on the blue collar aspect. >> david, let me ask you something. another finding from the poll last night was that before about 6 out of 10 thought that he was talking about things that could actually happen. now it was 3 out of 4. moved to about 70, 75%. does that equate with him getting a bounce out of this that grows his base? >> well, i think it could. i mean, i think there's something very prosaic about his candidacy and about his speech. that's appropriate. you know, he's projecting himself as a strong leader in troubled times that need fixing. and that he's not only a change agent who tells the truth but that he can actually do it. now, he takes all of that to extremes with the kind of messy flavor that i alone can do these things. i think it's possible he can come out of this convention and

a speech like that, where he did tone down some areas of his extremism that he's talked about in the months past, and people think, yeah, strong leader with some real potential. >> panel, thank you very much for being with us here on "new day." are donald trump and his running mate at odds on foreign policy? one of trump's policy advisers says not exactly. he's going to join us to explain what that means. and these are the lungs.

donald trump attempting to clarify his vision for protecting allies after startling statements in a "new york times" interview. here is what trump said in his speech last night. >> recently i have said that nato was obsolete because it did not properly cover terror. and also that many of the member countries were not paying their fair share. shortly thereafter, it was announced that nato will be setting up a new program in

order to combat terrorism. a true step in the right direction. >> so is trump in favor of nato, not in favor of nato? is it qualified? does he agree with mike pence who said we have to be better to our allies? let's discuss with someone who knows. peter navarro, a trump policy adviser. he is an economist and business professor at the university of california irvine. professor, good to have you with us. >> so pleased to see you. we have a wonderful breakdown of the whole session. >> don't be upset at the noises. just the construction sounds. >> it was a great night last night. >> a big night for donald trump. he wanted to clarify that because he did not like what came out of "the new york times." at first the campaign was saying it was inaccurate. then they said, well, it's just wrong and we want to clarify. >> let's clarify. let's do it. >> nato, what he said was, just so we can set the premise of the suggestion and you deal with it, please, which is it seemed like he was saying it's a pay for

play. that unless you pay us what we think you should pay, we will not stand up for you. if russia comes, forget about article five. >> there's an essential truth donald trump has stated, and it's not just about nato, it's about our asian alliances. we've been living in a world since world war ii where america has been paying a disproportionate share of the burden of the defense umbrella for the rest of the world. and we're now in a world which is increasingly more dangerous, and america can no longer afford to do that. the problem with free riding in the alliances, whether it's in europe or in asia, is it weakens the alliance because we don't have enough funds to do what we need to do, but it also weakens the commitment of the allies to the alliance. so nato is -- i don't know, broken would be too strong, but nato needs to be strengthened,

and it needs to be strengthened from the inside by members pitching together, carrying their weight. we've got the same problem in asia. so he's hit an essential truth. it's the art of the deal here, right. what he puts on the table is, hey, you're not paying enough, and you're not taking care of terrorism. okay, then things get put in motion and things get done. as he said last night in his speech, germany has come forward saying we're going to put our 2% in. germany is trying to signal to italy and all the other free riders there, you need to do it too. >> but germany is not your problem when it comes to nato. >> but they're trying to lead because trump is leading. if trump hadn't said anything, germany wouldn't have stepped up. >> this discussion has been going on for a long time. >> and obama has been saying the same thing. >> to be fair, i don't know, donald trump likes to suggest that nato changed because they heard what he said. but that's politics. >> causality to your correlation. you be the judge. what the voters saw last night,

i think, was the deal being sealed last night. i want to say one thing. >> but i want to qualify that word. i think it's an important part of your clarification. should you deal with an existential situation in terms of if it's a business negotiation. should your commitment to fight against russia, for instance, be a qualified commitment? does it smack of what happened back with korea when a little bit of a suggestion, well, maybe the u.s. is committed to nato, maybe it isn't, wound up giving confidence to an oppressor. >> i'm well aware of that statement by the secretary of state. i know what you're getting at. but what donald trump's going to be is ronald reagan. the whole notion of peace through strength, walk softly, carry a big stick. that's what he's trying to do. he's trying to wake up america. he's trying to wake up the world that the way we're moving is not

working. nato is having trouble because they're not committed to defending. they don't know what to do about terrorism. they don't know what to do about russia. part of it is all this free riding is going on. so i think what happened last night, there was a couple things that happened last night. i think donald trump reassured the american people about where he's going with his policies. it was very policy oriented speech. to me, the whole story of the convention was ivanka and don jr. and the rest of the kids getting out there and letting us know who the man was. the tom barrack speech was wonderful. this is what i think we need to know. we need to know as much about who donald trump is as what he stands for. >> isn't that why a discussion about what his predisposition of the allies is matters? mike pence says our commitment to our allies is going to improve, no qualification. that's why it was suggested as a contrast. >> i'm going to say no, that's a

false narrative because donald trump is committed. he understands that the alliances have to be strong, not just militarily and strategically, but economically. the whole thing about the donald trump policy is it's intricately tied to the economy. you can't have a strong military, you can't have strong alliances without a strong economy. he can rebuild the economy, he can double our growth rate, generate tax revenues, then we can build the ships we need to defend ourselves in the pacific. then we can build the aircraft we need for nato. but we're not doing that right now. so we need to understand that america of today is very different from the '50s and the '60s when we were in nato, when we could carry that ball for everybody else. we can't do that anymore. it won't work that way. if we don't pitch in, it's not going to work. so strength through peace, economically and military, strong alliances, europe, asia, let's get it done.

>> but reagan's obvious commitment to being there for the world is what gave him such a projection of strength. professor navarro, thank you for coming. >> enjoy philly. should be fun. it'll be hard to top cleveland for the weather at least. >> it was great. and thank you for helping our show. >> my pleasure. >> see you again. so we're going to get more reaction to trump's big speech coming up. one of the questions, is the message of a nation in crisis with problems only he can fix going to broaden his appeal? we break it down next. 8 layers of wheat... and one that's sweet. for the adult and kid in all of us. ♪ kellogg's frosted mini-wheats® feed your inner kidult

donald trump says the country is in crisis. his hour and 15-minute acceptance speech painted a dark vision for america. >> our convention occurs at a moment of crisis for our nation. the attacks on our police and the terrorism of our cities threaten our very way of life. many have witnessed this violence personally. some have even been its victims. i have a message for all of you that crime and violence that today afflicts our nation will soon, and i mean very soon, come to an end. >> joining us now to discuss is cnn political commentator carl bernstein, the author of the definitive biography of hillary clinton called -- >> "the woman in charge: the life of hillary rodham clinton." >> okay. what were your impressions of donald trump's speech? >> i think both the speech and

convention were probably very effective for donald trump. it was a terrifying speech, a dark vision of america, and what we have seen in this convention and that speech is a mythical america that does not really exist -- >> meaning? >> let me just say and a mythical donald trump who does not really exist. the master builder. very much at odds with the pictures we've seen of trump as somebody who fleeces people in trump university, et cetera. so the democrats and hillary clinton now have a terrible task at dismantling this mythology that this convention and speech have created. and she's a weak messenger. >> but in terms of the vision you say that america does not exist, it's not as bleak? >> it's not existentially correct. it's not borne out by facts. we are not under siege from terrorists at home every other day on a scale as implied in this speech. this was a speech intended to

instill fear and terrify people and create a vision of america such as rudy giuliani did in his speech that simply is at odds with fact and at the same time plays into the real fears. one of the things trump has done so effectively is to identify why and which institutions in this country are not working and that the elites indeed have not served the people of this country. it all fits together well as a package. and hillary clinton is a really weakened messenger to deconstruct this mythology. so she's got her hands full at this convention. >> so you think -- i mean, i think what you're going to see in the electorate at large is that they agree that the country has more negatives than positives going on right now. the question comines down, therefore, to who is the better change agent? what do you think donald trump did for himself in making the case that he is better than she? >> well, i think this is the

other amazing thing about this speech that is unprecedented. it was the speech of a maximum dem gojic leader. i, i, i will do this, do this, do this. go back to the nixon speech. nixon's speech in '68 at least is about we as a people and some hope and some optimism. >> well, trump started by saying we as america. >> no, no. this whole speech was about i will do this. this is a speech that could have been delivered by juan perrone. there has been no speech in american presidential candidacy history at a convention like this one. not even the nixon speech. this was the speech of a maximum strong man leader totally unprecedented in our history in terms of a break with democratic traditions. where is the democratic way he is going to bring about these changes that he's talking about? i'm going to eliminate crime, i'm going to do this and that. but it is working.

it has worked both in the primaries, and now i think even that instant poll -- and i don't give polls, especially instant polls, all that much credibility. but i think that we know which states are targeted. what part of the country is targeted, where the disaffected people are in this country. their disaffection is real and justified. trump is plugged into that, and hillary clinton, because of the way she has been encased in this distrust picture of her as a liar, particularly comey baking her -- >> fair picture? >> she has lied on the server. her behavior was reckless, indefensible. she's encased in that picture that comey painted of her, and she has to break out of it somehow. the democrats have to break out and take on -- let's look at who donald trump is in terms of his own business. the master builder that ivanka was citing --

>> but he has built skyscraper. much of the new york skyline is, you know, festooned with the trump name. >> he's also got 3500 lawsuits that he's instituted. he's got known by those who deal with him as a sleazy business person. look at trump university. and that is going to -- look at the stories that have been done by "the wall street journal," "the washington post," "the new york times" about his business practices. his taxes, he won't release his tax returns, and yet hillary clinton is not credible on that issue unless she released her speeches. >> yeah, so very quickly, next week what does hillary clinton do to break that mold that you're talking about? >> i don't know, except to say the democratic party has an alternative that we believe in a real existing america of hope, of our people doing things together in a democratic process, and that we will build together. we do need -- and look, he's right about infrastructure. it's very carefully constructed,

this speech, and i think it was very effective the whole convention in terms of giving america a look at a donald trump with this vaneer, and they have to strip it, and it is going to be a long, difficult process. >> always great to have you on "new day." thanks so much for being here. we are learning more about this police shooting of an unarmed black behaviorial therapist, happened in miami. you can see here, the video. that's his autistic patient sitting there next to him. this man survived. but of course, he wants answers as to why he was shot his attorney, joins us next. atching. soon, she'll be binge-studying. get back to great. now get a swiss gear backpack for only $10. office depot officemax. gear up for school. gear up for great.

will preview the machine. and the future of technology will begin. see star trek beyond. now in theatres. questions this morning, after police shot an unarmed behavioral therapist in north miami, as he tried to calm down an autistic patient who ran away from his group home. here is the video. you can see the tense moments before the shooting, that were caught on tape. that therapist, charles kinsey, did survive. the police union says the shooting was an accident. but kinsey says their explanation does not add up. so let's bring in his attorney, hilton napoleon, who joins us, along with kinsey's employer.

thank you for being with us this morning. there are so many questions about what happened. mr. bauer, let me start with you. you are charles kinsey's employer. so you know what the situation was surrounding that moment there that we see on the street. what led up to that? >> apparently the autistic individual that we care for had eloped from the group home, and he was trying to -- charles tried to return him to the group home. my understanding is charles was trying to get him out of the street, because there was traffic on the road, on 14th avenue. after that, you know, obviously none of us really know what happened. >> mr. napoleon, we see the video there, he is subdued. he is on the ground, on his back in a prone position. his arms are up. how kannapolis justify the next thing they did was shoot him?

>> there is no justification. the reality of is that the reason why we're here, the reason why people across the world are really upset about this is because as americans, we believe that if you do everything that the police tell you to do, that you will walk away unharmed. and that was not the case here, and that's why people are outraged. you know, we really need to look at the way that policing in america is approached today, because this should not happen in our country. that was a man who was at work, who was caring for another individual on the ground. he is still concerned, if you listen to the video, but his client. he still ends up getting shot i don't understand, just like the rest of america, how someone could possibly try to justify this. they will be much better off saying sorry to my client. >> absolutely. >> and trying to acknowledge the fact that something went

terribly wrong. and there is no justification for this. law enforcement is in my family, and none of them have come to me and said any type of reason that they could give for this tragic incident. >> mr. napoleon, do you know the account that your client, charles kinsey, has given? he says that he asked the police officer after this why did you shoot me, and the police officer said, quote, i don't know. that was verbatim. what more can you tell us about that exchange? >> well, i can tell you a couple of things. number one, that's exactly what happened. but number two, other officers who were on scene asked the shooting officer the same question, and he gave the exact same answer, which i don't know. these later attempts to try to put a story together in an attempt to justify it, i mean, it is not what the american

people want to hear. i understand advocate, in being an advocate for your client, and that's what the pba is. but as an advocate, they would have been a lot better off not saying anything, instead of trying to justify what happened in this case. >> you know, we saw this two weeks ago with the terribly tragic case of philando castile, who was also complying, driving, pulled over for a broken taillight. the police asked him for his license. he told them, he volunteered that he had a legal gun on him, and they shot him. so in other words, we have seen this now twice, comply, comply, comply. they're trying to comply. and they're shot any way. mr. bower, can you tell us about your employer, charles kinsey? what is he like? what is his manner like? >> well plr, mr. kinsey is a he today. he saved the life of that

individual. as mr. napoleon said, the pba is now trying to say that they tried to shoot my client and accidentally shot my employee. to me, that's outrageous. but charles is a highly trained behavioral professional that has worked for me for over a year. this individual he was caring for is a person with significant behavioral issues, and charles was specifically chosen to work with this individual as his one-on-one staff, because he is that much of a skilled employee. he has received extensive crisis intervention training. unfortunately, our police doesn't seem to receive that same training. charles is a hero to us here at mack town and to all of the community here in miami. >> clint bower, hilton napoleon, thank you for being here. there are many questions, and we know you will stay on it as will we. we have much more coverage of the republican convention ahead. let's get right to it.

as president, my father will fight for you, all the way, every time. >> the situation is worst than it has ever been before. >> violence in our streets, chaos in our communities. america is far less safe. >> look at mark, what tamerica, hell is going on here. >> i am the law and order candidate. i am your voice. >>announcer: this is "new day" with chris cuomo and alisyn. good morning, it is 8:00 in the east. we're live from cleveland, where we have been all week, but wrapping up our coverage of the republican convention this morning. donald trump, declaring last

night that america is in crisis, as he accepted his party's nomination. trump saying that he is the only one who can fix america's problems. trump echoing the theme from the entire week, which is blaming hillary clinton for many of the nations if not the world's problems. so did trump make the case to voters, including new voters, and enough of them to win in november? cnn has every angle. let's begin with phil mattingly. tell us about the speech. >> reporter: the themes, chris, those weren't new. you heard them throughout the last 13 months, but the delivery was raw, ominous, and big pledges and big promises. one thing, 100% certain after last night, no subtlety to donald trump's message. >> i humbly and great -- gratefully accept. >> in the biggest speech of his life, donald trump declaring

america is in crisis. >> not only have our citizens endured domestic disaster, but lived through one national humiliation after another. >> at time, painting an exceedingly dark picture of the state of the country. >> the attacks on our police and the terrorism of our cities threaten our very way of life. >> the republican nominee, speaking ominously about the dangers of illegal immigration. >> where was the sanctuary for all of the other americans who have been so brutally murdered and suffered so horribly. >> and portraying america as a broken nation that he is uniquely qualified to bring together. >> nobody knows the system better than me. which is why i alone can fix it. >> trump's message for the public, i'm with you. >> people who work hard, but no

longer have a voice, i am your voice. >> rejecting globalism, insisting america first. >> usa. >> his key theme, restoring law and order, to a country he says has been overwhelmed with crime and violence. >> the crime and violence that today afflicts our nation will soon, and i mean very soon, come to an end. >> trump, blaming america's ills on his rivals. >> this the legacy of hillary clinton, death, destruction, terrorism, and weakness. >> casting clinton as a politician, controlled by donors. >> she is their puppet. and they pull the strings. >> and the republicans, as the party of truth. >> if you want to hear the

corporate spin that carefully crafted lies and the media myths, the democrats are holding their convention next week. go there. >> his attacks, revving up the cleveland crowd, but the nominee showed signs of restraint. quieting calls to send clinton to jail, instead, focusing on the fight ahead. >> let's defeat her in november. >> and avoiding using his popular moniker, crooked hillary, a stark difference from his boisterous rallies, in the longest acceptance speech in 40 years, trump reenforced the key promises of his campaign. >> we are going to build a great border wall. >> while dialing back on others, like his proposed ban on all muslims entering the u.s. >> we must immediately sus spent

immigration from any nation that has been compromised by terrorism. >> donald j. trump is calling for a shut down of muslims entering the united states. >> the republican nominee, challenging conservative orthodox by sharply denouncing the foreign policy of both democratic and republican administrations. >> after 15 years of wars in the middle east, afttrillions of dollars spent and thousands of lives lost, the situation is worst than it has ever been before. >> trump, making history, as the first republican nominee to embrace the lgbtq community at a convention. >> i will do everything in my power to protect our lgbtq citizens from the violence and depression of the hateful foreign ideology. >> the new york billionaire,

completing his improbableable takeover of the republican party, though it hasn't been smooth sailing this week. with ted cruz' endorsement snub and the plagiarism controversy involving his wife. trump and his running mate, tying to project a united fight and hoping cleveland gives them a boost heading into november. >> and guys, last night, making crystal clear, there will be no grand shift in policy. there will be no big pivot. this is donald trump. this is the campaign he is going to run. he is not changing. however, you have to note, there is a strategic calculation in that the trump campaign, when you talk to advisors, when you talk to donald trump, he makes clear he is reaching out to a specific group of people. people who feel left behind, people who are uneasy, disenfranchis disenfranchised, the big question, is it a broad enough swath of people, in the general electorate to ride to a victory in november.

we don't have that answer yet. something to keep a close eye on on in the weeks and months ahead. >> phil, thanks for that. let's discuss with christine quinn hillary clinton, supporter, and corey lewandowski, the former trump campaign manager, still receiving severance pay from the trump campaign. thanks to both of you for being here. so corey, we've had a couple of analysts on this morning who said it was too heavy on doom and gloom, and no real note of hey, america is the best country in the world. and the optimism of what will be before us. >> look, i think what you learned about donald trump over the last year plus is that he is going to tell the truth. he is going to tell the american people things that most politicians aren't willing or have been been willing to do so. and what that has done particularly in the republican primary field is that it has a tracked more voters to come out and support a candidate, 14 million votes in a field of 16 or 17 people that has ever received any amount of votes in the history of the republican party. what you're doing is telling

people the truth. the american people are very smart. >> so it is -- the truth you think is as bleak a picture the status of america today? >> we're $19 trillion in debt. our washington, d.c. politicians, he talked about them last night, have failed the american people. the people who are up set and turning out to vote for the first time in 20, 30, 40 years, are tired of a broken washington, d.c. they want someone to go there and change it and donald trump has said i don't need special interest money. i won't be the behold den to them. i'll fund my own campaign, been a huge point right now. he doesn't need the job. he wants the job to make america great again and that's what he'll do. >> i think the speech was incredibly dark and heavy. i'm not saying there aren't problems in america. i work with homes families everyday. i know there are problems in america. but i also know that this country is a great country. and i also know that voters want to hear, yes, an affirmation of

their problems, but where they're going to be moved to make things better, and donald trump has none of that. and strategic, the fact that he has he won the republican nomination, of course, he has. but strategically, if he is going to win the presidency, he'll have to reach out to women, to latinos, to immigrants. all of the community that he used last night to make very clear and his choice of governor pence, very clear that he has no interest in embracing or in helping. he is still committed to building this ridiculous wall. >> that mexico will pay for. >> i'm going to wake up tomorrow and be a super model. you know what i mean. saying it don't make it true. he is keeping muslims out of the country. >> if they come from terrorist states. that's a fair policy. if you come from a terrorist stop. >> can you stop? nobody interrupts you. first of all, it is an unamerican policy. it is a policy that most of

his -- >> that kill americans. >> many of his republican colleagues have refused to endorse. it is unenforceable. >> i just want to repeat what he said. immigration from any nation compromised. >> yes. >> by terrorism. >> he didn't mention muslim. >> what does that mean? >> that's the question. >> we haven't, and you know why, because our failed immigration policy -- >> does that affect us? >> what does that mean, we can't come back if i go to europe, i can't come back. >> because we let someone into the country that shouldn't be, then that's our problem with the federal government. loor look, the san bernardino killer, 14 people are dead -- >> i can't hear anything. >> i'm sorry, i thought you were in orlando. >> make your points, corey. >> what i said is the immigration system has completely failed us. we're allowing people into the country whose goal, desire is to kill americans. until we reform our immigration policy and we know who is coming

here, we need to better understand and do a better job. the government's role is to protect u.s. citizens. >> is it fair, look, i get the premise, you make it well, he has made it many times. he has moved off the muslim thing because it is not working for him in certain polling and he said something so broad last night -- >> it could affect everything. >> it is impossible to do. not muslims. it is everybody. let's put it to the side, because it is not going to happen. here is my question for you. when you're developing the premise of this, the premise of this is going to matter. our system is broken. we have less attacks on our soil than any other major target of terrorism, you know that. we vet refugees who come into this country more than any other category of immigration. doesn't that matter? because he says it, and you make the case as if they just waltz right in and that's not true.

>> what we have in place is a fail zur we'll never be perfect. >> it needs to be better. what we're doing is allowing syrian refugees come in, and by our own government's account, we don't know who these people are, because the records aren't very good. >> here is the problem with the statement, christine, because you're going to have the same probl. her solutions will be just as hallow. >> we haven't seen that to date. >> we have, but that's not the discussion for today. what i'm saying is this. the syrian refugees, and alisyn has made this point many times, you're going to have to keep other categories, like my cousins who come from italy, because they're not checked the way the syrian refugees are. some of them don't have the paperwork, but some don't complete the paperwork. the un does it first. >> what we're asking for is a temporary slow down so that the united states can put a system in place. >> not a slow down. a stop. you're geeing to keep people out

of this country. >> just so we can have the right system in place. >> but you'll never have the right system in place. >> san bernardino came in with a k-1 visa, we don't have the simple background to say that person is willing to come here and kill. >> if you look at the vetting system that's out there right now, it is extensive. it really does delve into people's backgrounds. can it be made better, that's a fair conversation to have at some point, but that's not the conversation that donald trump is putting out, and corey, you've changed what you said just in the course of this show. we're talking about a ban on anyone coming in from countries that have been compromised by terrorism. what does that mean. does that mean if all of us leave and go on vacation to europe, we can't come back. we come from a country that has been compromised by terrorism. it makes no sense and it is just about isolationism and blaming

and pushing other people out. the orlando killer, and i apologize for miss hearing you before, was an american. >> sure. the san bernardino husband. >> this is a more complicated problem that needs a deeper answer than just blame them, keep them out, when you're keeping out people who have done nothing wrong. >> corey, we have a picture of you from last night. it is a picture -- >> you look good, by the way. >> boy, do you look good. you're on the phone here with donald trump. what was he telling you after his big speech? >> you know, mr. trump called to actually say thank you for the hard work that i put in for the campaign and i obviously said thank you back. congratulations. it was a big night for him and his family. they deserved to be the center of attention. they did a great job, 14 months of hard work, that they put in when many pundits, including many people at this network said he would not be a serious candidate, greatest field ever assembled. he has proved them wrong. very few have said he'll be

where he is today. >> i think he was calling to say was that a trump tie. >> i'm sure it was. corey, christine, thank you. great to see both of you. hillary clinton, hoping to steal the spotlight, now that the republican convention is over. we could learn as early as today who she will pick as her running mate. let's get to cnn's correspondent joe johns, live in orlando, where the clinton campaign is today. joe what, are they signal? >> they're just getting started here in orlando. later today, they're going to come in and sit down with the mayor of orlando and others and talk about the pulse nightclub massacre that happened very recently. look, hillary clinton expected to fly over in just a little while from miami, and talking to senate democrats and others about this process, it is about fit, it is about demographics, and we've already talked this morning about some of the top names, including senator tim

kaine of virginia, the former dnc chair, also the former governor of virginia, and what he brings to the table. tom vilsack, the former governor of ohio, i'm sorry, the former of governor of iowa, now, in fact the agriculture secretary, and the idea that he can actually speak to people in small towns, that would be very useful for hillary clinton. some of the other names that have arisen more recently, apparently getting a close look, including senator cory booker from new jersey. this is someone as an eloquent spokesman for democratic cause, and we do know hillary clinton likes him a lot. there are many other names on the list that hillary clinton has sat down recently to talk to, including elizabeth warren, of course. they have said they don't think they're going to be the pick. so we'll be watching and waiting. the announcement could come by text message today or tomorrow. hillary clinton has three stops

here in florida. chris, back to you. >> all right, joe johns, we know you got your nose to the grind stone. let us know if we get real information about when it is actually coming. appreciate it. so after everything that has happened here this week, positive and negative, it really came down to last night. if nothing else, donald trump had the room rocking during his big address. now, the question is, when you have kids who are so good-looking and so good at the podium, do they start distracting a little bit from you. ivanka said some things, ivanka trump, that a lot of people are saying why doesn't her father say those things. we're going to talk about what she said and what it may mean to his campaign, next.

cnn political director david chalion, executive editor, mark preston. brother challien, we divide labor, when we have sophisticated adult children to lean on who are articulate. she came out and said things last night. was this what ron brownstein calls the alternative reality of what trump's campaign could have been about, but is not? >> well, i thought she was fantastic. i thought she gave a really strong speech and really a star of the week, and the star of the children. i think that what you saw in ivanka trump's speech is why conservatives have been weary about donald trump throughout the whole process. it was a speech that could have been given at a democratic convention. >> she said i am not a democratic or republican. >> exactly. i don't like to be categorically put in either camp and made a play to millennials when she said that, which was wise. she will be hugely important advocate, but i do think it was

odd on the final night of the republican convention, where you've been trying to stitch together the party all week, to all of a sudden hear these themes on equal pay, you know, stuff we're going to here in philadelphia. that being said, i think she could be a real conduit to bringing some new people into the trump coalition. >> so mark, let's talk about those themes that david says could have been rolled out at the dnc. she talked about workplace rules for pregnant women and moms and new moms and equal pay, and all those things that you haven't heard donald trump talk about. so how does that work? >> well, look, i mean, i think a lot of people here on the floor last night were very happy with a lot of things that she said. i mean, by and large, as david said, those are themes that you wouldn't necessarily hear at a republican convention. however, right afterwards, her father gave a very dark and gloomy speech about the state of america. i think when they saw in ivanka trump is somebody who is inspirational, somebody who is the future.

i think there was such a contrast last night between what she said and how she portrayed herself and then what he said and how he portrayed himself. >> it was so fresh, unlike anything we've heard from anyone on the trump campaign this entire time, you know. the fact that she was playing up, an independent voter, and can reach out to these women, you know, that's just really something that he has not been able to do on the campaign trail is actually show how he is going to broaden his reach, and last night's speech was another example of that. he was much more restrained, much more disciplined. but it was exactly the same themes that we have been hearing on the campaign trail from him, you know, since the beginning of his campaign. >> by the way, to the extent that they matter, the instant poll afterwards, david, and your focus group show that he did well with republicans who were watching the speech. 75% of them saw it, favorably or very favorably, positive or very positive what does that tell you. >> so you're right to make the

caveat. these are people who tune in to watch the speech. it is not representative -- that being said, if you are donald trump and going to give the biggest speech of your life and 75% of the people watching view it favorably, and you get an increase from 60% to 73%, who after the speech say they think your policy also move the country in the right direction, that's progress. he came in here and hit marks. >> he had a good night. >> and all the things we're not talking about right now, they did a lot of clean up last night by moving beyond the melania controversy and everything else that happened this week. >> ted cruz. >> ted cruz. >> right, but i think we're inside the hall and watched it, and it is different than watching it on tv. we were in the hall and watching it on tv. if you were in the hall, there was no energy last night. there was no enthusiasm. >> you mean in the crowd? >> there was very -- i found it to be surprisingly very little

enthusia enthusiasm. there was no it, at the end, the crowd came together. >> it was a long speech. >> the longest in 40 years. 75 minutes. >> it depended on where you were on the floor and which delegations you were near. i mean, there were sort of moments of bursts of enthusiasm during the speech and other times quite flat. usually at a rally -- >> that's the problem. there were moments of it. this is a rally where you all -- >> hold on. let's get context here for why. let's say you're right, mark, which i've never said before. let's say you are. he was talking mostly about what is wrong in america, and crisis, and the world. those are not applause lines. you know, so he was doing something last night, i'm a change agent, insurgent, this situation sucks. did he overdo it, that's subjective. the question is what does it do to clinton? >> listen, hillary clinton has never been sort of the maestro

when it comes to sunny, rosie optimism. it is not the easiest contrast for her. students of this who have followed this, the happy warrior, reagan and george w. bush, bill clinton, people who panlt the positive picture have been successful at this effort. donald trump is different. i can't rule out because a dark and more divisive or stormy cloud tone, i can't rule out that that may be successful for him, even though that hasn't been the path that we believe is the stuff that makes successful presidential candidates. >> thinking of the 2004 bush/cheney campaign, voters were so gripped by fear, and ultimately, of course, they were successful in that campaign. talking to voters out on the street here, they just keep waiting to hear more. they know that they are not

necessarily -- don't necessarily want to go with hillary clinton, because they feel she is more of the same. they get that she would do something different. they just don't know what it is yet. >> hillary clinton's biggest obstacle isn't going to try get over donald trump's speech last night. it is going to be talk her husband's speech and barack obama's speech. >> thank you vecry much, panel. many say donald trump panlted tpanlt painted to grim of a picture, and some say it reminded them of richard nixon or ronald reagan. why newt gingrich liked the speech so much, next. kellogg's frosted mini-wheats® feed your inner kidult

the work that we do helps us protect it. public education is definitely a big part of our job, to teach our customers about the best type of trees to plant around the power lines. we want to keep the power on for our customers. we want to keep our community safe. this is our community, this is where we live. we need to make sure that we have a beautiful place for our children to live. together, we're building a better california. well, it is being called the most important speech of donald trump's political lifetime, certainly. it is drawing both positive and negative reviews this morning, even from republicans. some say the message was too dark and negative. others say it reminded them of reagan and nixon. here to discuss and get his impressions, newt gingrich, and house speaker who endorsed

donald trump for president. mr. speaker, thank you vech. >> thank you. >> what were your impressions. >> i thought it was a very comprehensive speech. i thought it was very deliberately designed. it started at the very beginning, he says my fellow americans, he doesn't say republicans. and he built on that. he had a series of parts of the speech that were designed i think to appeal to african-americans in the inner city, to appeal to the lgbtq community, to appeal to a number of people. he didn't automatically say it would have been a traditional republican speech. >> such as, what were parts of the speech that you think could have brought in new voters for him. >> very likely both he and mike pence very likely to campaign in places like south side chicago, baltimore, the places he mentioned, detroit. and really make the case to the african-american community that 2,000 shootings in the first half of this year in chicago are just plain unacceptable.

since obama became president is just unacceptable. having the kids go to a school that doesn't work, in detroit, that only 5% of the fourth graders can read. having a republican to take seriously the lives of the poorest and least served americans could be a revolutionary moment. >> he is getting credit for working in the outreach ot lgbt community, but say i vow to protect you from foreign ideology and oppression. is that a bold position, i'll protect you from foreign terrorism? what about domestic policies and rights here? >> i think that's the going to be part of the same conversation. i don't think it is -- i think it is a fairly big step in the republican party to move in the direction that he was describing. you'll notice, it got very strong support on the floor of the convention. more than would you have thought. romney could not have said this four years ago. wouldn't have had the personal authority to say it, and the party wasn't ready for it to be said. >> some people think it was too

bleak. he painted too bleak a picture in america. crime is down in america. violent crime is down. the economy -- >> it is not down in the biggest cities. >> violent crime, murder rate is down. >> then how come it is up in chicago, baltimore -- >> there are pockets where certainly we -- >> your national capital, your third biggest city. >> but violent crime is down. we're not under siege as we were in say the '80s. >> looking at dallas policemen, look at the states he listed. they don't think crime is down. they don't think they're safer. >> but we are safer, and it is down. >> no, that's your view. i just -- no. but what i said is also a fact. the average american feels when you can walk into a nightclub and get killed, a county government building and get killed, people don't think there is governments protecting them

when you have baltimore, police ambushed in dallas. i understand your view, it is the current view is the liberals have a whole set of statistics which theoretically may be right, but not where human beings are. people are frightened. people feel their government has abandoned them. 25 million americans have dropped out of the middle class. >> that's the economic figures, though unemployment has ticked down. hold on, mr. speaker, you're saying liberals use these numbers, they use this sort of magic math. this is the fbi statistics. they're not a liberal organization. >> no, what i said is true. people feel it. >> they feel it, but the facts don't support it. >> as a political candidate, i'll go with people feel and you go with the theory. you know, the fact, is statistic statistically, 5% of the fourth grader can read. 95% of them are being cheated by

the teacher's union and an incompetent system. >> as a leader, is it important for the leader, somebody who wants to be the president of the free world to paint a more optimistic future? what did he say about the future? >> we're going to solve all these things. >> to have the kind of leadership that cuts through the red tape, the baloney and gets things done. >> people contrast it to ronald reagan. let me play a portion of reagan's 1980 speech at the rnc and the tone that he took, different than donald trump. listen. >> everywhere we met thousands of democrats, independents and republicans from all economic conditions, all walks of life, bound together in that community of shared values of family, work, neighborhood peace and freedom. they're concerned, yes. they're not frightened. they're disturbed, but not

dismayed. >> the first task for our new administration will be to liberate our citizens from the crime and terrorism and lawness that threatens our communities. >> how about that? when ronald reagan said they're concerned but not frightened. disturbed -- >> i was in that campaign. i can get you a passage where ronald reagan says i recession is when your brother is unemployed, you're unemployed. recovery is when jimmy carter is unemployed. he spent half his time pounding on jimmy carter. >> in terms of the bleak picture, wouldn't it be nice to hear that americans are concerned, but not frightened. they're concerned, but not dismayed? isn't that a rosier picture. >> it was a rosier time. you tell me if you were a mother living in south side chicago and you couldn't have a picnic outside because you're afraid of drive-by shootings, you don't think that's bleak, you're middle class person in west

virginia where hillary clinton wants to destroy your industry. you don't think that's bleak. >> one more thing i want to ask you about. that is for some clarification about what he said that seems to have shifted from his muslim ban. last night, he said i want to immediately suspend immigration from any nation compromised by terrorism. >> look, there is going to be a direct fight over syria. the clinton position is we're willing to risk american lives by bringing in syrian refugees about whom we know nothing. >> not nothing. >> they're vetted. >> vetted how? we have no records. first of all, the largest numbers are male. the afghan refugee who just killed somebody, who tried to kill somebody in germany was male. the tunisia was male. the 2,000 men who sexually assaulted 1,200 women in germany at new year's were male.

>> so when he says any nation compromised by terrorism, he means just syria or any nation -- >> i think, look, you start with the easy one. the fight is over syria. what is hillary's rationale for expanding the number of people from an area which is totally infested by isis in which isis says everyday, we're going to send some of our fighters as part of the refugees. we don't have the data inside syria to know anything. that's just a fact. we don't have the intelligence penetration. we don't have any police cooperation. we don't know anything about these people. >> so that's what he meant when he said any nation. >> the glad he would pib wouck be on syria. >> thank you, newt gingrich. we're going to head to philadelphia for the democratic convention, hillary clinton's vice-presidential pick could be announced as early as this morning. will she try to steal trump's thunder with her pick.

we'll explore that when we come back.

every action has a reaction. what are we going to see after the big night last night, after the big convention, now the democratic's turn, and the first thing we're going to learn is who the running mate will be for hillary clinton. we hear she is set to make her announcement as early as today. who will it be. what will they do next week. let's discuss. political analyst, host of the david gregory podcast, david gregory himself. cnn contributor to the daily collar, matt lewis, and editor in chief of the daily beast,

john avalon. let's put up the names in convention as the final four. let's see them. here are the people who may be vice-president as we understand them. does anyone here, other than m camerota think tim kaine won't be the choice. >> who knows. i think it is kaine. >> avalon. >> it should she would be crazy pick tim kaine. >> senator, hugely respected by his colleagues, fluent spanish speaker, man of faith, regard to honesty and trustworthiness. >> because religious people never lie. >> as we've seen throughout american history. but no, if anything, he would catch flack from the far left, who are concerned that maybe he is not pro-choice enough, et cetera. but look, and he comes from a

crucial swing state and most importantly, his replacement would be picked by a democratic governor. >> i think that's important, by the way. there is a lot of consideration about that. there is a steady factor here, right. she is going for steady leadership in a troubled world. i think he helps her with that. they would work well together. that's an important consideration that we don't want to overlook. when you think about mike pence as the choice there are certain things that maybe have something to do with the campaign. a lot of it is donald trump were to become president, pence would be helpful working with congress. that's one of the reasons he prevailed. >> why not vilsack or perez? what is your problem with them, camerota? >> let's be honest, there are more exciting candidates than tim kaine, but i don't think she needs to go exciting, because number one, she is history. she is change. that would be the first woman president. number two, donald trump went boring. number three, the bench on the

democratic bench is not as exciting as the republicans. the republican cs could have picked marco rubio, a susana martinez, but the democrats don't have that experience. so i think they're going to go safe and boring. >> let's talk about what the democrats need to do in their convention neck week. have they been studying what's happened here and will they be trying to present a contrast or did they have it scripted and not worry. >> if they've been studying what has happened here, just to make sure they do the opposite. first, do no harm. don't light yourself on fire. show that you're steady, come tent, con if i dents and can present an optimistic view of the future. here, it is midnight in america. it is not simply enough to say that, you know, everything is great in the world, because there's not the case. but they do need to make the case that donald trump is not a man prepared to address the challenge. >> two things. they want big time party unity. they'll have a kiss camp to show

how much fun they're going to have. number two, they're going to play the fear card as well, but a different kind of fear, be afraid of donald trump. he is so dangerous, we cannot take that risk. you may not like her, you may not think she is trustworthy, but she is stueady z and star power. they have the president of the united states, first lady. >> former president. >> yeah, so i mean, the unity thing will be much easier for that very reason. >> there is a real contrast in the lineup. a big gap between antonio sabato jr. >> they would be well advised -- >> not everybody could get scott baio. >> he ruined "happy days" with his appearance this week. >> hope, this will be great, not what they said at the republican convention, i would leave that to her husband, and leave that to the president of the united states. i don't think the mood of the country is ready to hear that

there are no problems out there. >> too rosie. >> what she has to do, to your point, she has to come long and strong about how she is the one who can get these things done, but i think part of that is going to have to be she has to own flaws next week, and figure out a way to do it. >> i think owning flaws, owning some of her weaknesses, and an interesting point, david axelrod, own some of the steady leadership. >> don't compare me to the all mighty. perfect is not on the menu. >> i like. >> panel, thank you vech. should be interesting. we'll see you all there. well, the rnc had high and low points. of course, its funny points. next, the best of the late night comics taking aim at the convention. wait until you see these punch lines.
