researchers come to study them and understand it is part of the american culture. what's left over. letters and diaries. that's what we are preserving here. >> this is night three. what have you seen that you said i'm so glad i seen this? >> hard hats from west virginia supporting coal and environmental and energy concerns in 2016, pro-and anti-trump objects and showing the debate over the candidates this year. >> what's your favorite ack which situation so far? >> i love the personal things that the delegates have but the signs that come out each year for everybody to use that states the candidate's inat the present time and the platform goals, the messaging goals, i love. >> when people say this one is

one for the history books, thank you for talking to c-span. >> missing some of the buttons. i want to show you this is a new pass. i.d. to to have a photo t inside the quicken loans arena. and security is incredibly tight. let's begin on that theme for security and what it's like. what have you experienced? >> for me, it hasn't been that rough. every single block you go to, they are checking your i.d. and badge. security has been prepared for situations that fortunately has not occurred yet in cleveland. one point, the local authorities were expecting a half million protestors. expecting 1,000 arrests a day. you saw yesterday, the cleveland

police chief say they just had five arrests over the course of two days. you haven't seen the security concerns we thought we would see but no question this has been quite the lockdown. if you are a reporter like me, it is a question as to when do you want to go into the perimeter and go into the area of the arena. once you're in, you don't want to go back out. make sure you are in a spot but don't plan ongoing somewhere else in cleveland for at least a few hours. >> once i came in this morning, saw reporters and governor walker was among the reporters. let's talk about some of the highlights, beginning with vernor walker, what is his objective? >> tow the line on where he has

been. the latest interviews with him is that he is planning to vote for donald trump but doesn't want to ep doris donald trump. senator ayotte have been using to tow this line. he will be a governor for a few more years. o this it is irrelevant. >> newt gingrich thought that donald trump made a decision with his head and not his heart and he was very short on the list of running mates and was not selected.

>> clearly did not see gee oggra if i matter. we thought we were going to see in 2016, demographics mattering, picking a woman or african-american or hispanic. on the republican side, we have two white men. >> you tweet and i will ask you about a tweet, the bills that passed or didn't pass out of committee. what can you tell us with regard to mike pence? >> he served six terms in congress for 12 years. a research group is in

washington that are nationalizes washington and not a single bill that mike pence sponsored, no bill in those 12 years had actually reached out of committee much less passed the house or became law. >> we are at the indiana delegation and we find susan swayne. >> i have made myself at home with the indiana delegation. starting with you? >> bill davis. >> what do you do in indiana and how long have you been coming to conventions? > this is my first convention. 'm the district director and nine-year former state representative. >> have you introduced yourself? i'm brenda gov and fourth

convention. great day for indiana and i'm from southern indiana. >> i'm eric cook from bedford, indiana. this is my seventh national convention. >> what was your reaction about your governor being on the ticket with donald trump? >> they will know mike pence. > he is not a nationally known figure to introduce himself to the rest of the country. >> he will be the mike pence we know. same person in the board room. mike pence is somebody who listens and leads and it will show tonight. a wonderful person, a true servant leader. >> do you have any concerns with him working with donald trump? >> he said it's an odd couple.

>> everyone is seeing a force on

that one section about how mike pence really changed his mind of campaigning after a negative campaign he ran for congress in 1990 against bill sharp in indiana and said he changed his tune and would not run as a negative campaign. he ran in 2000 for the open seat in congress and that was a shoo about you see him talking negative campaigning at a time when donald trump's campaign is to be negative. this morning i wrote a column for "the globe" and i know who you are but what am i. this is an elementary school, i'm rubber and blue. don't worry who i am. this convention, he writes why

you shouldn't vote for hillary clinton. and you might see something different. certainly from newt gingrich why not hillary clinton to why onald trump. donald trump has a 27% favor built rating. one in four people like him and three in four don't like him.

you can't overstate that. there is no one saying i disagree with what you say. you have an open platform here on c-span and other networks. here it is, one week. and so for both of them, it is about this branding experience to like them and to why they should vote for them. and where republicans are saying, i know we have our issues internally. some of you like ted cruz and unhappy with the fact that you don't like trump but you have to stop hillary clinton. bernie sanders are more into the fold. you see that nationally in poll numbers, too. but saying we have to stop donald trump. >> the speculation on hillary clinton's running mate. the time line say it might be thursday night, friday or saturday.

do you have any insights? >> they will have a official vent in florida on saturday. >> let me ask you about senator ted cruz and the other big speech tonight. there is no key note address? >> there is no key note address. and one of the subplots of this entire convention. donald trump doesn't want to give up the stage or spotlight to anyone. if you look at the first night, supposed to be about melania and comes out in this dramatic showy way and later on it was about her speech last night. and he couldn't give up the stage to his son. he had to have a televised live address from new york. today, supposed to be mike pence's day.

>> donald trump doesn't want to give up the spotlight at all and we have a key note speaker and usually on a tuesday night. we aren't going to have a key note speaker and for all we know donald trump may show up and overshadow anything that mike pence has to say. >> it's getting louder in there as the convention gets under way. one republican center who isn't here, senator kelly ayotte. why is that race emblem attic of the challenges that the

republicans face. they need to face it for re-election. >> six different republicans running for the senate that barack obama had won in 2012. and no senate has a relationship with donald trump than kelly ayotte. she has a very tough battle against the state's democratic governor. one of the most high profile races against two women. we had a senate race in hawaii, but this involves the incumbent sitting senator against the incumbent governor. and new hampshire has trended new hampshire particularly in presidential years. the ayotte, can't reject

republican senator after his comments on the mexican heritage of a judge. but kelly ayotte, donald trump won the new hampshire primary by 20 points. she needs the republican base behind her. she is trying to thread that needle. her official position is she will vote for donald trump and will not endorse donald trump. if you can figure out the difference, but she will walk ie fine line and marco rubio, got her schedule what she is doing tomorrow and doing a constituent meeting in new hampshire about 11:30. but she is not going to do it. >> your home state senator, elizabeth warren, what role do you think she will play?

just soruz or paul ryan interesting for a little dynamic. elizabeth warn will be fascinating. i don't know what her future holds. but the interesting subplot going on here. the republican national convention, you have the fight who is going to be the leader of the republican party, paul ryan, ted cruz or mike pence, who is going to lead the political wing. we have an interesting question, who leads progressives. will it be elizabeth warn or bernie sanders who has earned that title. people are beginning to understand as we are in philadelphia next week. >> let's turn back to what will

happen tonight as day three of this republican convention. 50% left of this convention. let's talk about rinespreef is and what is his status as the leader of the g.o.p.? >> it has been so much laid upon him. you cannot overstatement what is happening right now. traditional the republican or democratic nominee takes over the national party and put their own people in and dictate what they want to happen and raise money for that party. but the head of the party is the candidate. that is not happening with donald trump. he is not putting any staff beyond a handful. in new hampshire, he has three staffers. in ohio, he has less than five staffers and letting the

republican national committee bank roll his campaign and run this convention. we aren't going to see anything different in philadelphia where the democratic national convention. and the nature of the logistics happen, but it will be her convention. this is rinespreeb is' convention and and here's the dynamic. when i got married and i got engaged, my wife asked my inlaws, are you giving me money to run my wedding? and that is the dynamic. this is a totally different thing, the republican party and donald trump is showing up and owning the coverage. >> i want to share with you a tweet with kendall and talked to

delegates e free the leader and september a tweet. fellow delegates when senator ted cruz speaks. when that happens in the 10:00 hour, what can we expect? >> one of the more interesting subplots. one of the stories i'm writing tomorrow is how -- before the gavel was even brought down, saw the race for 2020 begin. ted cruz wants to make this indicative t very of the speech that ronald reagan gave. and it was contested and ronald reagan didn't win but he set the framework that he was the next the nextas going to be nomination. the

they actually walked off the stage and talked the to her on monday and watch those and has a lot of delegates, gives him a lot of fire power. subplots to watch the tonight. who is the leader of conservatives. is it ted cruz or mike pence and both are on the stage tonight. >> james as the band begins to warm up. we look for your work online with "the "boston globe." take you to the floor and take you in a moment and go through the schedule as the gavel will come down in 10 minutes. he speakers will include the florida attorney general.

>> we take you to the floor for tonight's coverage. thanks for being with us. [captions copyright national cable satellite corp. 2016] nick:

[cheering] before i begin tonight, i want to express my gratitude to everyone who has kept us in the prayer after the horrific and hate filled terrorism attack in orlando months ago. outpourings ofd love and support from americans everywhere. american people sure stick up for each other. on behalf of all the citizens of our great state, thank you, thank you, thank you. [cheering] i'm old enough to remember when terrorism was something that happened in foreign countries, not today. is the evile times of radical islamic terrorism have to incur -- occur before

the president will muster the courage to face the truth? how many more orlandos? san bernardinos? will happen until president obama desire to be honest -- decide to be honest? cried with the grieving moms and dads, brothers and sisters of the 49 people slaughtered by the isis inspired terrorist. this war is real. it is here in america. and thenext president -- next president must destroy this evil. [cheering] donald trump is the man for that job. [cheering]

>> trump! i met donald trump about 20 years ago before either of us decided to run for office. let me tell you why this is the time for donald to be president. politicians like to give speeches where they say, we are at a crossroads. that is not where we are today. americans have a record high debt. our economy is not growing. our jobs are going overseas. we've allowed our military to decay and we project weakness on the international stage. grows while the rest of america struggles. the democrats have not led us to a crossroads, they have let us to a cliff. [cheering]

i know that some have reservations about my friend perhaps he is sometimes not like, in a statement -- can be a little direct.d maybe a little this election is not about donald trump or hillary clinton, in fact, it is not the election about you or me, this is electionabout -- this is about the american dream and its survival. [cheering] it is time for all americans to put down the partisan banners, vote for the survival of the greatest country in the world and to the right thing for this country. but for donald trump. -- vote for donald trump.

[cheering] finally, i have some great news. this is the time america has been waiting for. this year we get to fire the politicians. [cheering] and who better to let the politicians know you're fired than donald trump? [cheering] we need a president who has put the incorrect and will tell it like it is. [cheering] we need a president who is not afraid of washington.

we need a president who does not believe government is the answer to every problem. [cheering] we need a president who recognizes that great countries have orders -- borders. we need a president will bring american jobs back to america. [cheering] noteed a president who is afraid to say radical islamic terrorism. [cheering] president who will wipe isis off the face of the earth. [cheering] and on every one of these measures, hillary clinton fails. she fails, she fails, she fails.

[cheering] >> lock her up! lock her up! lock her up! >> america is worth fighting for. let's make america great again. let's elect donald trump as the next president of the united states of america. [cheering] thank you and god bless this great country! [cheering] >> please welcome laura ingr

aham. [cheering] hello, everybody. we love you, laura! >> i love you back. [cheering] laura, laura, laura! >> thank you. sit down. from tv and me radio. know me by my was important name, mom. [cheering]

i'm a single mother of three adopted children and they are watching in minnesota right now. [cheering] and i'm here tonight supporting donald trump. [cheering] because like most americans, i refuse to leave my kids a country that is worse off than me.one my parents left [cheering] grandparents were polish immigrants. up andnts, they grew depression era new england. my dad, he listed in the navy in world war ii. [cheering] , she waited tables until she was 73 years old.

dad, he worked at a car wash. my parents flew the flag at our house and not just on the fourth of july. [cheering] saved, my mother made othes, she wore the same with her coat for 20 years -- 40 years. any extra money went into the bank for our education. learned that there is dignity in every job. [cheering] every job. no matter what you do.

my brothers, they take tobacco and deliver newspapers. greated blueberries and -- raked lawns. my parents did not believe there were jobs that americans would not do. [cheering] in the early 70's, i was a little kid and i remember watching the news with my mom that night and one night come after, mom, why are people burning the american flag? and she looked at me and she answered, honey, because their parents did not teach them about respect. [cheering] mother.d have loved my [cheering]

respect. respect. receipt and decline in america once again. -- we see it in decline once again in america. people don't respect the government. government does not respect the people. not even our veterans. >> boo! >> politicians don't respect the constitution. life ofnot respect the the infant in the womb or that elderly who languish -- the elderly who languish alone. [cheering] others, you don't respect the police. -- they don't respect the

police. the men and women who risk their lives every day for every one of us. [cheering] office, we know this all too well, many in public office don't enforce or respect the rule of law, isn't that right, mrs. clinton? [cheering] .at's right there [cheering] too many citizens don't respect our laws either. many of our allies, they don't respect us anymore.

friends, it is really sad and heartbreaking, to see this happen to the country that we love. this is our home. it belongs to us. to our children, to our grandchildren. it is where our dead are buried. and we deserve better and we can do better. [cheering] like us, donald trump understands that we have to turn this around. we have to restore respect across all levels of society. us, hillary clinton believes the status quo is just fine because she helped create it.

donald trump knows that a nation without borders isn't a nation at all. hillary clinton, she does not believe in borders. knows that a country must put it citizens first. and what about hillary clinton? she thinks america's just another nation and a global order -- in a global order. understands, he that america's greatness comes from her people, from her freedom. [cheering] clinton, she believes our greatness can only be found

in the ever-growing, bloated government bureaucracy that only she, her majesty, can rollover. she believes that there is a government solution for every column. no hillary, you are the problem. [cheering] i was thinking about back when i was in high school, 1979, we were in a mess back then. we waited in line for gas, we'd

waited -- we waited for hostages to come home. we waited for someone to convince us that the long national nightmare would soon be over. and then, ronald reagan rode in just-in-time to restore our national confidence -- [cheering] he is watching us today. [cheering] he is watching. n to restore our national confidence, restore our economy and our military. today, many of our people wait wait for ae strategy, any strategy to keep us safe, and our veterans, they die waiting for decent care. >> boo! with donald j

trump, thank god that wait is over. [cheering] it is done. [cheering] and donald trump has pledged to work tirelessly to get our country back on track. plainly, say this very we should all, even all you boys with wounded feelings and , we love you, but you must honor your pledge to support donald trump now!

tonight. [cheering] tonight. [cheering] i hope they are listening to you. i hope they are listening. my friends, this is the most election -- most important election since 1980. i worked for ronald reagan and i remember, before he came along we had, you know, things were

bad. we have stagnating wages, skyrocketing health care costs, doubling of the debt, threat of isis and the rise of china, and the democrats answer to all that is to nominate the woman who helped orchestrate america's decline. >> boo! >> think about it. some cruel joke. like skinny jeans on men or man buns . a bad joke. i don't want to sit around and tell my kids stories someday about how great america used to be. do you? >> no! >> we never give up.

challenge, wery fight and we went. -- win. we are americans! [cheering] need, america, we need a president who believes in the constitution and who will fight for us, not against us, treat us like an ally, not an enemy, fight alongside with us. [cheering] we are not the enemy, we are the people! [cheering] we are not your servants! hours -- ours. [cheering] friends up there in

hello --, i feel, >> boo! >> two all my friends up there in the press, you all know in won thert donald trump republican nomination. you know it. you know why he won it? because he dared to call out the phonies, the frauds and the corruption that has gone on unexposed and uncovered for too long. [cheering] too long! do your job. [cheering]

doing your job is a novel concept. [cheering] people on another table network was talking about how there was no energy in the room last night, what are you seeing here with the people? america is on to you. donald trump respects us enough to tell us the hard truths about what has happened to our country. on issues like immigration, trade, our diminished status around the world, even in the face of unfair criticism and

, they had their chance. now it is our chance. [cheering] america, let us tonight go forth and reject the politics of division. let's defeat the clinton machine. [cheering] send the consultant, the pollster, the lobbyist packing! [cheering] let's give the power back to the people. [cheering]

trumpt's elect donald president of the united states! [cheering] god bless you and god bless the united states of america! [cheering] >> please welcome businessman phil ruffin. [cheering] >> hello. now i have been friends with donald trump for 20 years and

business partners. i can tell you that his brand is unbelievable. donald's word is his bond. if donald tells you something, you put it in the bank. he has been my partner and friend and believe me, his handshake is better than any contract will ever write. [cheering] innovator. entrepreneur. no one in business works harder than donald come. sometimes he works 20 hours a day, i worry about him. he can see things that others cannot see. , he will makedeal something incredible out of it. york on parkw , there was ath building called the ge building could i do not like it. i'll bought it, made 200-300,000,000 dollars on the deal. that is what he does.

[cheering] jobs are are high paid constructed. if any of you do construction, you know 40-50 dollars an hour is not unusual. many of thethis in nation's greatest states. chicago, he has done in chicago. [cheering] new york, where is new york? you know what he does in new york. [cheering] his name is all over the place.

miami, where is miami? he just bought a country club there, you know what he does, he loves florida. [cheering] let me tie about las vegas, nevada. -- tell you about las vegas, nevada. [cheering] one of the deals we did together. we built the trump international hotel in las vegas. beautiful hotel. all the amenities. he knows how to build. .e builds them with detail 1300 units and they were sold out in 90 days. 90 days. that was 2007. 2008, no one could close. the recession hit. the bank shut down. we were stuck.

[cheering] apiece.ay, we put in 39 apiece.illion in i believe in him. he is tough, smart, knows what he is doing. always pays his bills promptly. probably. no discounts. nobody lost any money. sold, noteave 80%

debt, and we're going to make a lot of money. it has become a huge success. he wants to do the same thing for the country. [cheering] believe me, he will. his mind works like that. instead of thinking of donald trump, he will think of the country. he is a developer, extraordinary, entrepreneur like nobody you have ever seen, he is a leader. he wants to lead this country. me, we weret told go and he told me he would run for president, said donald, are you sure you want to do this? your king of the world. you have everything you want. why would you want to do this? america, ourve system is broken and i am going

to fix it. [cheering] that is what america needs now. a fighter, innovator, someone andknows what is going on donald can do it all. i know him like a brother. i love the man. he will make this country great again. go donald, see you in washington, a tsunami is coming and its name is donald trump.

[cheering] stop the influx of cocaine and heroine coming into our country, my state and killing our kids. this hillarye is

leaves our enemies, this is unreal, hillary believes our deserveo serve our -- our respect and empathy. >> boo! >> donald trump believes! terrorists deserve to die. [cheering] hillary will stack the supreme court with liberal justices who will allow government to continue its rampage against our individual rights. with utter contempt for our second amendment. donald and i'm proud to know donald. he will appoint conservative justices who will defend rather

than rewrite our constitution. [cheering] i have one question for all of you here today, are you ready to a message that we are really coming after them? [cheering] when donald trump as president he will. [cheering] america, on november 8, remember this, if you believe in limited government, if you believe in our historic constitutional rights, if you believe in the rule of law, if you believe it is time for america to start acting like america again, there

is only one choice in this trump!n: donald [cheering] america for trump and so am i. god bless america and god bless the trump family! thank you. [cheering] >> first entry is the dream has backing from night skies part in the light of a million stars on quiet, clear nights. it ignited the minds of peerless and determined individuals who summoned the courage to break

the rules of gravity. 47 years ago, july 20, 1969, a young man from ohio took one giant leap for mankind. we celebrate the memory and selfless courage of neil armstrong and the apollo 11 team. us of all those who came before him to make his journey into history possible. brothers fromoung just down the road in dayton, built thed wilbur first successful playing in the back of their bicycle shop. before we knew it, the race for space was on. by 1958, the nation committed to winning and nasa was born. the skies were no longer the limit. america aimed for the moon and the stars.

while all that was happening, another young hero from cambridge, ohio was writing his own chapter. a decorated fighter pilot and combat veteran, john glenn became the first american to orbit the earth on february 20, 1962. emerged beyonden breaking glass ceilings, they broke down barriers and the earth atmosphere. you will meet one of them in a moment. at the age of 23, eileen collins became the first female flight instructor in the history of the united states air force. she became the first woman to pilot the space shuttle. later she became the first to command a special mission. nation group the loss of space shuttle monday, she fearlessly let our first commission -- mission back into space and she brought it back safely and the whole world breathed a sigh of relief.

[cheering] >> welcome women for business and for trump. etten.e van i was one entrepreneur and dreamer. by the time i was six or sold, i knew it. my dream was to be a circus performer. so i decided i was going to have a circus at my house. , i wentickets

door-to-door and sold those tickets. i trust my baby brother like a clown. and i even taught my dog some new tricks. i was ready for my big day. guest on to arrive, my parents had no idea i was going to have a circus. guests andized to my refunded my money, i was so upset. me anyrds, my dad told dream you have, he can do. as long as you are doing the work it takes to get the job done. [cheering] after you go to college. wait, i want to now. i was good to take my

dad's advice and i recruited the neighborhood kid to be part of my circus and we charged our parents to watch the show. i had my circus for over a year. my dad told me i made rate candy money that you. fast-forward, going to my high school reunion, my 20 year, i decided to scope out the competition and what i realized, the girls i went to school with, they were driving bmws and look like barbies. i was 30 pounds overweight, a stay-at-home mom and driving a minivan. point i neededat a change and i began to dream again.

faith took a leap of and decided to open up my own home based business. when i realize, when you go after a dream, you are going to have to learn how to fail forward and never quit. that i had to level up to become the type of person that i wanted in my business. years, i was able to retire my husband, after 28 years in the dod. today, my husband stays at home with our children and he homeschools them because i will not subject them to common core. [cheering] i own a small business.

in florida. house of style. florida does rock! today, i run a multifaceted business. multifaceted international business. and i am living the american dream. [cheering] but that dream is in jeopardy. fear, the next generation, the millennials to over 50% have an ultra numeral. and what to be their own boss will not be able to because of eight years of liberals. [cheering]

us, have overtaxed overregulated us and they are killing the american dream. small businesses are the backbone of america, we need entrepreneurs. deleted -- we live in the land of opportunity and we need to protect the american dream above all else. [cheering] dream is being denigrated. because of what is going on. change and if you want to change, and if you believe that we can make a

difference, then we need to have a president who is a businessman and not a hillarycrat. is believes that business the backbone of america. not raise -- who will not raise taxes. it will protect our children and and common core. care andrepeal obama allow small businesses to be for to provide health care their employees again, who will foster creativity and innovation, who will bring back manufacturing.

who will take care of the american people and make america great again. [cheering] there is only one man capable of this juggling act, only one man who can handle the circus we have inherited for the past eight years and serve as the ultimate ringmaster, there is only one man who can protect the american future for many generations and batman is donald trump -- that man is donald trump! [cheering] thank you. please give a warm welcome to state senator ralph alvarado of kentucky. [cheering] good evening. it is a great night to be an american.

from the great commonwealth of kentucky, the home of horses, , bluegrass and the finest people on earth, allow me to express my sincerest appreciation and gratitude for the privilege to address this assembly. i'm proud to stand with you tonight as the first hispanic member ever elected to the kentucky general assembly. [cheering] thank you. but the road here was not an easy one. it is a long story of three failed political runs and adversity. with a lot of determination and grit and hardware, i try and and and i'm standing before you tonight. [cheering] everything i am, everything i achieved i/o to god and my parents. my father was a proud legal immigrant from costa rica. my mother from argentina.

being the son of immigrants, i saw firsthand their sacrifice to provide our family a better life. i watch their struggle in mastering a second language and their strong and quiet commitment to hard work. we did not have the luxury to other families had, what my parents to give me was family discipline, support, high personal expectations, love and faith in god. they were hispanic, americans, and very proud of being both. [cheering] they understood the value of preserving our culture and language, but also the value of an education and pride and love for the country. light most immigrants, they understood that their sacrifice would not provide them with immediate success, but the reward would be in the opportunity and success of their children and their grandchildren . the story is not unique to my account. it is the story of many legal

latino immigrants who come to america. it is important for us to understand that hispanics believe what republicans believe. traditional family values, church, faith in god, the dignity of work and the opportunity for self-sufficiency that comes from a free society and limited government. [cheering] they have simple dreams that might seem mundane to the average american, but sound familiar to our founding fathers and their core principles. the dream of liberty and freedom. some leave crime and anarchy for the duma safer communities. some flee hunger and despair for the dream of opportunity, entrepreneurship and abundance. all of them leave their homeland for the dream of america, a place where if you work hard, study hard and obey our laws,

you can accomplish anything. [cheering] over the past eight years, our president and his apprentice hillary clinton have talked about that american dream, that they have absolutely no idea how to protect it, foster it or expended. expanded. today we have a president who is not only failed to end racial tension, he has made us more divided than ever. we have a president who is itching to restrict our fundamental constitutional rights such as religious liberty, the right to bear arms and free speech. today, we have a president who has rejected honesty and transparency, lying to the american people over and over again about obama care, the promise of immigration reform, fast and furious, irs enemy list, for coney bankruptcy,

benghazi, the v.a. scandal, iran nuclear deal, they list goes on and on. [cheering] clinton, thisry eight-year nightmare will get far worse. americans face a very important decision. do we want someone who is brutally honest, perhaps to a fault? or do we want some who is brutally dishonest? it is not a decision this year about america moving left or right, it is a decision about moving america up or down. [cheering] and by protecting the american dreams we can make america first again. there is only one candidate will protect it for our current and future generations and that candidate is donald trump. [cheering]

nevertheless it for my spanish speaking latino friends,- nuestro [spanish] [cheering] in a message for one more person. hillary clinton. you have to be hispanic community and you don't deserve our boat. -- vote. [cheering] god bless this convention. god bless our country.

thank you very much. [cheering] ♪

>> please welcome darrell scott. pastor for new spirit revival center ministries. [cheering] >> i first met donald trump several years ago. in that meeting he said he was troubled about the direction that our country is heading. i listen to his voice and i understood and shared many of the same concerns that he expressed. in the many times we have met since, we have spoken about the economy, race relations, immigration, jobs, urban renovation and revitalization, the military and many other issues that are critical to our nation's well-being. the truth is, donald trump is a conservative father and grandfather who feels that

his best days are in front of him, not behind him. despite his competence, -- he still feels, a void that can only be filled by service to the country and service to his fellow americans. [cheering] the truth is that the democratic party has failed us. at home, our growth is atrocious and our debt is deeper. we are spiritually empty and we are more divided now than we have ever been before. [cheering] we are neither respected, not feared by our adversaries and our friends cannot count on us either. this is their legacy. we need to make a sharp turn. we need to put into practice the great ideas and principles that our country was founded on and which after god, the sorts of

strength that have made this nation great. [cheering] this is in our best interest. it is in the best interest of the world because the greater that america is, the greater the world becomes. [cheering] while some people may call, from a populist, i call him a patriot. that is because by definition, a patriot is someone who loves their country, that supports it authority and promotes its interest. liberals are embarrassed to use this word. many liberals believe that we are a nation just like any other. but we know that we are not a nation just like any other. we are the greatest nation in the history. [cheering] republicans we are unreservedly proud to be

americans and we are proud of our patriots. america is a melting pot. we are a country of diversity and we stand poised to make history by standing together as americans, by standing together as one country, one nation under god indivisible! [cheering] americans here as regardless of race, because of greed, regardless of color, we are those who hold these truths to be self-evident that are all -- all men are treated equal and endowed by our creator with certain unalienable rights among life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness! [cheering]

donald trump will rebuild the broken trust that now exist between our citizens and government which over the last eight years has brought the rhetoric of hope but throughout the of high minority employment, crime, drug use, more civil unrest and national distress. the mosttion is crucial election in american history. [cheering] something, you donald trump has played the big state and is a master negotiator and dealmaker and donald trump knows that for all of the sharp elbows and the sharp words and feelings,os and hurt the art of the deal is bringing people together to unify and to get them from no to yes. [cheering]

problem-solving and finding common ground moving forward. now was to take that experience to get the best deal for america and the best deal for all americans. [cheering] , i truly believe that nothing will prevent donald trump from doing everything in his power to create an america and to become a president that everyone can be proud of. [cheering] believes asrump you believe and i believe that we can become great again. [cheering] but we can only become great again if we have some leadership. [cheering]

and i can think of no stronger leader will place their left hand on a bible that they believe in, raise their right hand and solemnly swear that faithfully execute the office of president of the united states to the best of his ability, preserve, protect and defend the constitution of the united states than donald j trump! [cheering] >> usa! >> god bless donald trump, god america! and god bless [cheering] please welcome harold hamm, the chief executive officer of continental real estate.

resources. to benk you, it is good in cleveland. four years ago, donald trump asked me to tell him about the american energy renaissance and how we have transformed the north dakota into the largest u.s. oil discovery effort. americaim it was moving from energy scarcity to one of abundance. change the world forever and can power america to greatness once again. he wrote that down. donald trump. it. will become the first president to achieve american energy independence. [cheering] president obama chose not to get it.

he has tried to destroy this renaissance and all of its benefits. on a raine turned oil, gave them the bomb, billions of dollars and vilified israel. why would you do that -- would he do that? obama imposed regulations to stop this renaissance and in his illustrations and words, they want to crucify him while -- america's oil and natural gas producer. hillary clinton promises more of the very same. america has two distinct choices, our nation should embrace energy independence, not eliminate it. hillary clinton would eliminate fossil fuel development in america. she would kill jobs, drive gas

prices up and increase oil imports from our enemies. get rid ofrump will trash- foreign oil, regulations, create millions of jobs. [cheering] the most strategic gop weapon, crude oil. foreign oil has plummeted by 65%. america now has more oil than saudi arabia or russia. we can double you oil production again and put america in a global league of its own.

donald trump will restore america's rightful place at the energy leader of the world. [cheering] time we can drill a well in america, terrorism is being funded. rolando -- orlando brought this home once again. it has been 15 years since 9/11. we can't ignore this problem any longer, it is not going away. not a problem,is it is islamic terrorism. [cheering] every honors -- onerous regulars and put the market was at risk. developing america's own oil supply is a matter of national security. critics say, i'm just a

well-to-do supporter of donald trump, they don't know about by a13 child, was inspired teacher. i cannot start school before the first snow or christmas, whichever one came first. my firstotton, memories are picking cotton barefoot. i'm standing here tonight because the american dream was alive and well when i struck out on my own at 20 years old with nothing but a truck, and note and a fun. -- phone. [cheering] thank god we have a clear choice today. pence willp and mike restore the american dream for children from

small-town america and they will make america great again. [cheering] god bless america! [cheering] >> it is good to hear him speak the truth. tell like it is. >> he wants to make america great and that is what i want. we areave a country that proud of and that we love and we will not lose. there is an assault on everything that we stand for and we have to stop the assault. we will make america great again. please welcome from the state of wisconsin, governor scott walker. [cheering] >> my fellow americans, you have

bettere, you deserve because america deserves better. the well-connected in washington are standing behind hillary clinton because hillary clinton is one of them. they want more of the same. donald trump is standing with the american people, we want a leader who is not afraid to take on the mess in washington. knows that there a better way forward and we believe as republicans, we believe in a rimer cap where everyone can get the education and training that they need to succeed in college, and career and in life. where washington does not deepen dependency, but rather helps create genuine opportunity. why? because america deserves better.

[cheering] we believe in a country where we can achieve, maintain and enjoy their piece of the american dream without government stand in the way. because america deserves better. webelieve in a country where take the threat of terrorism seriously. we name it for what it is, you know the words. radical islamic terrorism! and we do everything in our power to eliminate it. to ensure our safety. why? because america deserves better. whereieve in a country there is a responsibility to deliver to our troops the support and tools that they need to achieve absolute victory and then provide them with the health care and the respect that

they have earned when they return home. let's thank our veterans. [cheering] why, because america deserves better. believe are at it, we in a country where those who lawrably serve in enforcement, the people who put their lives on the line for us each and every day are not just respected, the revered -- but revered. why? because america deserves better. we believe in a country where power is taken back from washington and return home to home state and government. more effective, more efficient and more accountable to the people. why?

because america deserves better. we believe in a country where freedom and personal success do not come from the clumsy hands of government, but rather from the dignity that comes from hard work. why? because america deserves better. the simple truth is liberal washington insiders created our problems and hillary clinton is the ultimate liberal washington insider. if she were anymore on the inside, she would be in prison. [cheering] america deserves better than hillary clinton. [cheering] and that, ladies and gentlemen, is why we need to support donald to be themike pence

next president and next vice president of the united states. [cheering] last august, right here in cleveland, i sit on the stage and i said that any of the republicans running for office would be better than hillary clinton. i meant it been and i mean it now. let me be clear, a vote for anyone other than donald trump in november is a vote for hillary clinton. [cheering] make no mistake, we can't wait for years to get them next time. the consequences are too great. literally, just an hour ago a waiting to go on stage, i was on andphone with donald trump

the subject came up. think about it, the supreme court, he and i talked about the court, he raised that as a concern and we talked about the fact that ronald reagan nominated justice scalia over 30 years ago to be on the court when i was in high school, we cannot concede the court to liberals like hillary clinton for the next 30 years. [cheering] the consequences are too great. after hearing the fbi directors report a few weeks ago, i listened to that and said, i would not even give hillary clinton the password to my iphone, let alone access to highly classified information. [cheering] this is not just another clinton scandal, hillary scandal put our national security at risk and

that, ladies and gentlemen, may hillary clinton unfit to be president of the united states. [cheering] tell hillary enough is enough. no more double standards for the clintons. [cheering] why? because america deserves better. republicans are offering a better way forward. it is working right here in ohio and it is working in places like florida and new mexico and north carolina and south carolina. it is even working in places like massachusetts and maryland because american -- republican leadership works. [cheering] i know. i see it firsthand as it is

working everything will day in wisconsin. every single day in wisconsin. in 2010, we were tired of high on the plymouth. budget deficits, stifling taxes and rising college tuition. most of all, we were tired of the big government union bosses running our state and local governments. we have had enough. we did something about it. the handse power from of the big government special interests and returned it to the hands of the hard-working taxpayers. [cheering] in terms of the big government bosses and washington more than 100,000 protesters who occupied our state capital. they tried to intimidate us with threats and mobs, but we did not back down. and we won.

they spent tens of millions of dollars trying to defeat us in a recall election, but we did not act now. and we want. -- back down. and we won. three times they came at us and three times we won. we won because our common sense reforms work. today more people are employed in wisconsin than ever before. our budget is balanced and responsible. taxes are down for working families and seniors. and college tuition for the first time ever is frozen four years in a row. conservative forms can work in a blue state like mine, they can work anywhere in the country. [cheering] see, it was not too late for wisconsin and it is not too late for america.

if you have had enough of washington's brokenness, of their wastefulness, of washington's empty promises and of washington's arrogance, i invite you here and across america to join us, elect us -- help us elect republicans to office from the courthouse to the state house and the white house. america, you have a choice. you decide. becauserve better america deserves better. why? because america deserves better! why? because america deserves better. god bless you and thank you and god bless our neck president and vice president.

and invite me to the home welcoming at the family gathering. the past six years i felt an executive position as a pertains to the distribution of the internal funds and have charged me to identify worthy an ultra stick missions. i cannot be more humbled. this is the trump family that i know. there is a movement sweeping this brave nation and i'm honored to have a front row seat. this country has spoken. my boss has spurned the republican nomination and the voter registration record in countless states across america. this cannot be denied. he has opted -- brought the party together. he has earned more republican votes than any other presidential candidate in modern history. that must be respected. to the skeptics who will

undoubtedly claim i'm doing this at the behest of the trump family come with the promise of reward, i glibly chose -- acetate canceled. and the potential buyer ramification. and there would be for themselves in the fact that this is the right thing to do. for me, it was not a tough decision. bosslike voting for my should be an easy decision for you. god bless the family and god and got but the united states of america.

act to follow, but you know what, i will give it a shot. america! [cheering] i'm honored to be here tonight on behalf of my boss, donald j trump. as someone who has to with the family each and every day, for the past seven years, i know mr. come. i know his heart and end of his passion for this country to be true. tonight, as we stand in the shadows of one of the darkest moments of american history, i know now more than ever that donald trump is the law and order leader we need to heal a wounded and divided nation. [cheering] watched horrified and helpless as a radical islamic terrorist targeted members of the lgbtq community in orlando. we have seen discourse in our

urban communities sparked by the senseless deaths of young black minnesota,n rouge, and far too many places around this country. we watched in horror as our nation's finest were gunned down as theys in baton rouge sought to protect the very people protesting them. in order to heal as a nation, we must stop viewing these incidents as attacks on the lgbtq community or attacks on the black community or even attacks on law enforcement, they are attacks on america, attacks on our values, attacks on the very foundation of civil society. [cheering] sadly though, there is not one person in this room who can deny that historically black lies

have mattered less. my life mattered less. whether we like it or not, there are people out there who still believe this to be true. minority, i as a personally pledge to you that donald trump knows that your life matters, he knows that my life matters, he knows that the lgbtq lives matter and he knows that veterans lives matter and he knows that blue lives matter. [cheering] this country is sadly more divided now than it was eight years ago. tonight, don't hope for change, be the change. both not for the candidate to ask you to stand with her, but instead asked for the candidate who stands in solidarity with you.

[cheering] >> the bible tells us you can judge a tree by the fruited bears. you can embrace donald trump because he has raised the best young adults i have ever had the privilege to know and the honor to call friends. they were raised to be respectable -- respectful of all ages, races, and religion. i love them like the siblings i never had. you are compassionate, charitable, you are my heroes. i believe in the opportunity of america because i have seen it firsthand. my father was born in birmingham, alabama, and rose to become one of the most respected doctors at yale university.

him, i am proud of my african-american heritage, and i am proud to stand before you tonight to support donald trump, not just in spite of the color of my skin, but in fact because of the color of my skin. [applause] god bless this country, god bless this family, and god bless donald j. trump. [applause] clinton spent her lifetime inside a corrupt political system that put her interest above the american people. she planted the seeds for the and was of obamacare, for cronyism, wall street bailouts, middle-class tax hikes, and uncontrollable government spending. she was a key figure in president obama's horrible foreign policy record,

diminishing our role in the world. she turned her back on the fallen heroes in benghazi, carelessly jeopardized our national security, and light about it to the american people. hillary clinton does not have the honesty, courage, or independence to be the president we need the next four years after the president we had for the past eight. unlike hillary clinton, donald trump is committed to cut taxes and get our national debt under control. clinton, trumpd takes seriously the threat from islamic radicals and was to rebuild our military. commit propers to judges who respect the role of the judiciary. the time for fighting each other is over, it is time to come together and fight for a new direction for america. it is time to win in november.

senator ted cruz of texas. [applause] sen. cruz: thank you.

thank you, and god bless each and every one of you. heidi and i are so honored to join you here in cleveland where lebron james just led an incredible comeback victory. and i am convinced, america is going to come back, too. i want to congratulate donald trump on winning the nomination last night. [applause] sen. cruz: and like each of you, i want to see the principles of that our party believes prevail in november.

[applause] conventions are times of excitement, but given the events of the last few weeks, i hope you will allow me a moment to talk to you about what is really at stake. just two weeks ago, a nine-year-old girl named caroline was having a carefree texas summer, swimming in the pool, playing with friends, doing all of the things a happy child might do. like most children, she relied upon the love that she received from her mom, heidi, and her dad, a police sergeant named michael smith. that is, until he became one of the five police officers gunned down in dallas. murdered,r father was

caroline gave him a hug and a kiss as he left for work. dadas they parted, her asked before. timeif this is the last you ever kiss or hug me? later, as she thought of her fallen father, and that last heartbreaking hug, caroline broke down in tears. how could anything ever be ok again? michael smith was a former army ranger who spent decades with the dallas police department. i have no idea who he voted for in the last election or what he thought about this one. but his life was a testament to devotion. [applause]

sen. cruz: he protected the very protesters who mocked him because he loved his country and his fellow man. his work gave new meaning to that line from literature, to die of love is to live by it. [applause] as i thought about what i wanted to say tonight, onhael smith's story weight my heart, maybe that is because his daughter caroline is about the same age as my eldest daughter, and happens to share the same name. ay be it is because i saw video of that dear, sweet child choking back sobs as she remembered her daddy's last question to her.

maybe it is because we live in a world where so many others that had their lives destroyed by evil in places like orlando and rouge.nd nice and baton maybe it is because of the simple question itself, what if this, right now, is our last time? our last moment to do something for our families and our country? did we live up to the values we say we believe? did we do all we really could? that is really what election should be about. that is why you and millions like you devoted so much time and sacrifice to this campaign. we are fighting not for one particular candidate or one of usgn, but because each wants to be able to tell our kids and grandkids our own

our best, that we did for their future and our country. [applause] [chanting usa] america is more than just a land mass between two oceans. america is an idea, a simple but powerful idea. freedom matters. [applause] sen. cruz: for much of human history, government power has been the unavoidable constant in life. government decrees and the people obey. but not here. queen, we king or have no dictator, we the people

constrain government. [applause] sen. cruz: our nation is exceptional because it was built on the five most beautiful and powerful words in the english free.ge, i want to be [applause] sen. cruz: never has that message been more needed than today. we stand here tonight, a nation divided. partisan rancor, anger, and even hatred are tearing america apart. are furious, rightly furious at a political establishment that cynically

breaks its promises and then ignores the will of the people. [applause] sen. cruz: we have to do better, we owe our fallen heroes more than that. [applause] of course, obama and clinton will also tell you that they care about our children's future. and i want to believe them. but there is a profound parties' in our two vision for the future. [applause] sen. cruz: there is is the party team,hinks isis is a jv that response to the death of americans in benghazi by asking,

what difference does it make? and thinks it is possible to make a deal with iran which celebrates its holidays, death to america day, and death to israel day. [booing] friends, this is madness. president obama is a man who does everything backwards. obeynts to close one-time and open upo bay our borders. he exports jobs and imports terrorists. enough is enough. and i am here to tell you there is a better vision for our

future, a return to freedom. on education, your freedom to choose your child's education, even if you're not as rich as hillary clinton or barack obama. [applause] on health care, your freedom to choose your own doctor without obamacare. [applause] on taxes, your freedom to provide for your family without the irs beating down your door. [applause] internet, keep it

free from taxes, free from regulation, and do not give it away to russia and china. [applause] sen. cruz: freedom means free speech, not politically correct spaces. [applause] sen. cruz: freedom means religious freedom, whether your christian or jew, muslim or atheist. [applause] whether you're gay or straight, the bill of rights protects the rights of all of us to live according to our conscience.

freedom means the right to keep and bear arms and protect your family. freedom means that every human life is precious and must be protected. [applause] freedom means supreme court justices who do not dictate all of the, but instead, follow the constitution. -- the do not dictate policy, but instead, follow the constitution. and freedom means recognizing

that our constitution allows states to choose policies that reflect local values. colorado might decide something different than texas. york, different than iowa. that is the way it is supposed to be, diversity. [applause] sen. cruz: if not, what is the point of having states to begin with? [applause] [chanting usa] sen. cruz: hillary clinton believes government should make virtually every choice in your life. [booing] sen. cruz: education, health

care, marriage, speech, all dictated out of washington. but something powerful is happening. we have seen it in both parties. we have seen it in the united kingdom, unprecedented brexit vote to leave the european union. [applause] sen. cruz: voters are overwhelmingly rejecting the political establishment and overwhelmingly rejecting the government. [applause] sen. cruz: that is a profound of, and it is one earned by each and every one of you. people are fed up with politicians who don't listen to them, fed up with the corrupt system that benefits the elites

instead of working men and women. [applause] sen. cruz: we deserve an immigration system that puts america first, and yes, builds a wall to keep america safe. [applause] sen. cruz: the government that stops admitting isis terrorists as refugees. [applause] sen. cruz: we deserve a trade policies that put the interests

[applause] >> my father trained us very well, we were with him on job sites and in board rooms. i always joke that i have been working in the country for 38

years because that is what it felt like. >> for my father to step away from all that, to step away from a company that he is deeply committed to in favor of running for elected office was a real sacrifice for him. and it was very selfless. he really loves what he does, and that is why he is so successful. but ultimately, he knows what he can accomplish for america. >> when i look into my father's frustration, the frustration of $19 trillion worth of debt. the frustration of countries around the world, whether it be china or mexico or so many others, ripping us off in terms of trade deals. see the frustration of a military that is totally crumbling, ill equipped fight modern-day wars anymore. i feel his frustration of our veterans who sacrificed so much for our country, being totally

mistreated. he will make a great president because he makes a great leader. done these time and time again with his own money at stake. that is a big difference between him and all the other politicians. when he talks about job creation, he has actually created jobs. he has actually done it. >> my father is incredibly hard-working and values hard work very he values great and he values perseverance. he values a certain mindset that never allows you to give up. and i think that is a big part of his success. perseverance,hic, and his ability to see detail and understand it. >> he wants to make our country safe again. you want to make our country rich again. wants to rebuild our infrastructure and our military. he was to fix education that is totally failing in the most precious generations we have, which are the youngest generations. he wants to fix this country. >> his goals for this country

are so much bigger and more important than any deals or company he has built. >> i think with my father when someone tells them something is impossible, that is the challenge. that is when he has made all the great things happen. when something is impossible, that is just a stepping stone for him to start. whether business, or leading queens to do what he did in manhattan, or taking on politics, he is larger than life. >> he has become the epitome of the american dream, and he is my father. someone i care about tremendously. thisody i know will win race. he will become the next president of the united states.

[cheering] >> please welcome eric trump. [cheering] >> wow! wow! good evening, cleveland. [cheering] wow! here such an honor to be so, so, so, soe much. that is my father. [cheering] 13 months ago, my father; down

and told us the time had come. bycould no longer sit idly and watch our beloved country, the country that had given our family so much success, so much opportunity crumble before our very eyes. he confirmed to us that he was prepared to announce his candidacy for president of the eyes states. -- united states. to a knowledge that ours would not be the past, that we should prepare ourselves for what was to come. that we would quickly learn to our true friends were. without hesitation, we each committed with unwavering support. this time, none of us could have predicted what lay ahead. the records he would break, the stadiums he would fill, the movement he would start. today, my father stands before you with the most primary votes

of any republican candidate in the history of our nation. [cheering] he shattered voter record registration across the country to defy the predictions of every single political pundit and turned tradition of into must-see tv. [cheering] he has inspired multiple generations including my own. millennials like myself who have so little faith in our politicians that they no longer even consider public service to be a noble career. a year ago my father was a businessman. like many americans, easily could no longer stand to see what was happening to our great country. he could no longer stand to see special-interest dollars dictate and competent foreign policy that puts foreign countries

before our very own. he could no longer tolerate an inept administration that considers giving $150 billion to and releasing five radical islamic terrorists a successful negotiation. he could no longer bear witness to our continued second amendment attacks. [cheering] he did no longer stand to see the words christmas stripped from public use or the pledge of allegiance removed from our schools in an effort to be politically correct. [cheering] so my father made a courageous decision to set aside a company to which he has dedicated his entire life, to set aside a global brand that he has made synonymous with success,

quality, uncompromising, just the best. at a time when the people at the pinnacle of their career like my father would have held back her lifestyle that has truly become the epitome of the american instead choseer to give bedroom back to the people it has alluded for so long. [cheering] as daunting as a journey of seeing it would be, for him it was the easiest decision in the world. after all, who better to implement common sense is missed approaches to the country? who better to apply practical solutions to the impractical decision-making of an administration that has bred a $19 trillion debt? one which goes up by $32,000 a second and over $2 billion a day? who better to implement common sense tax reduction for one of

the highest taxed nations of the world allowing our citizens to keep more of what they earn as opposed to have it squandered away by our inefficient government. who better to negotiate the return of callous american manufacturers? disco, four, carrier, back to the united states when they began than a man who is single-handedly employed tens and tens and tens of thousands of people across the country. [cheering] it is time for a president with common sense. it is a time for a president who understands the art of the deal and appreciate the value of a dollar. our tax dollars. it is time for the president who is always been the want to sign the front of the check, not the

back. throughout my father's career, he has been repeatedly called on by government to step in and save the over budget public project. the iconic old post office in washington dc to name one. back in 2000 -- a city in new york had to refurbish a simple i can rake in central park. the project dragged on for six years and blew over $13 million. $5 million over an already inflated at you. that is what my father who overlooked the disastrous construction site from his office window each and every day decided he had to step in. disgusted by government incompetence and ineptitude, he invested $2 million in his own money to complete the project. what had taken the city over , my a decade to botch

father completed less than six months ahead of schedule and over a million dollars under budget. [cheering] it is time for a president who can make america rate again, ahead of budget and ahead of schedule, too! [cheering] my father has revitalized neighborhoods, shaped skylights across the country and turned dreams into reality. it is what he does. it is who he is. askedwinfrey was famously my father if he ever envisioned running for presidency of the ad states, his answer, only if they got so bad that i had no choice.

only if they got so bad that i had no choice. gentlemen, and that they has come. as i travel the world with my dad building the greatest golf courses and hotels, i see the unmistakable look in his eye. i see in his id and dignity of frustration of domestic infrastructure that is complete disarray and a longer on par with so many other developed nations. sadness ofs eyes the innocent lives lost like those of kate steinle and so many others cut short by illegal immigrants in century city's, victims of a revolving door of government ineptitude and corruption that leaves innocent americans defenseless. [cheering] i see in his eyes the

humiliation of an education system ranked 30th in the world. see nearly $400 billion trade imbalance with china. the safety light on trade imbalance with mexico and it continues to -- the distinguished of the middle east which has cost our nation's trillions of dollars and thousands of lives. today as he in his eyes, a man who truly loves his country. who is proud of his country and who once his country to be great again. [cheering]

i want to thank my father over there for the life he has provided me. for the life that he provided my family and the life that he has provided all of our employees of the world. i would do think my father for the life he has enabled me to provide for my future children with my beautiful wife as we start thinking about that amazing captain -- chapter of our lives. to that end, i often think about the legacy i was to leave my children and to meet, there are few things i hold closer to my heart and charity. for me, it is the essence of who we are as human beings, it is the barometer by which we are to be measured for our time here on earth. as my luther king junior one said, life's most persistent and urgent question is what are you doing for others? when i was 22 years old, i founded the air come foundation to benefit st. jude's research hospital, an incredible organization. [cheering]

i run my foundation based on the principles my father taught me, honesty, integrity, and values. i expect other charities to be notby the same moral code, to serve as conduit for personal enrichment, not become a beacon of corruption and scandal. [cheering] to whom much is given, much will be required. this is a very believe i've told my father to make this great sacrifice. to run for the most powerful, yet unforgiving office in the world. there is no greater calling, there is no more selfless and act. to the unemployed voters at home, wondering how you will make your next mortgage payment or other payment, my father is running for you.

[cheering] veteran tuning into the speech from his or her hospital who has been ignored and disrespected i and ungrateful system, my father is running for you. [cheering] do the schoolteacher forced to walk through metal detectors each and every day to an underfunded school, my father is running for you. [cheering] labor watch me right now, forced to have a job i -- out of a job and document and workers, my water -- father is running for you. [cheering] to the oil and gas industry workers denied a job because of radical regulations from the radical epa, my father is running for you. [cheering] mothers, families

with russia needs children's, middle-class families who can no longer afford medical benefits, sufficient to cover their everyday needs, my father is running for you. [cheering] this november, asking to be true to yourself and both for the candidate you know is running for the right reason. but for the candidate who is never been a politician, but for the candidate who is never received a paycheck from our government. [cheering] thank you. but for the candidate who can't be bought, sold, purchased, colors, intimidated, or steer from the past that is right, just, and true. [cheering]

and quite frankly, friends, but for the one candidate who does not need this job. [cheering] never have i been more proud to be a trump. never have i been more proud to be my father son. i'm incredibly honored to be part of this journey on which he to playted our family such an integral part. dad, once again you have taught us by example, you are my hero, you are my best friend, you are the next resident of united -- president of the united states. [cheering] god bless america. [cheering]

new to and --ome callista gingrich. >> we are excited to be with you. we've enjoyed reconnecting this week with republicans from all across america. know, it and i love american history and recognize that we are gathered here at a historic moment. nominate ae republican candidate for president who for the last year has given hope and encouragement to millions of americans.

many candidates, he has received more republican votes in primary than any other republican in history. [cheering] as he assured us that we can make america great again for all americans. we are proud be working to elect a president who will put america first and make our country safe again. there also delighted by selection of governor mike pence as the vice presidential candidate. [cheering] we have known governor pence since he first served in .ongress in 2001 we are confident he will make an exceptional vice president. tonight, he's going to speak about making america first again and safety at home and abroad. as the son of a career soldier,

newt was convinced at an early age to dedicate his life to our country and the protection of freedom. he has been studying national security since 1958. tonight, he speaks from first-hand knowledge having served in the united states congress as well as on the defense policy board, the terrorism task force, and united states commission on national security. newt has been a lifetime fighting to put america first. to keep america safe and to return power to the american people. please welcome my husband and former speaker of the house, newt gingrich. [cheering]

>> thank you for that very generous welcome. ista, she you call writes documentary film's, right books, sings in a choir, plays the french horn, i'm amazed at her achievements. i'm also proud to be here as a republican activist to see the extra effort donald trump has invested in bringing your pelican party together. [cheering] with no requirement for endorsement, he encourages competitors to speak once again. governor rick perry, donor chris

christie, governor scott walker, dr. ben carson, senator rubio and senator ted cruz have all responded to donald comes generosity. [cheering] i think you misunderstood one paragraph that ted cruz, it was a superb orator said, i want to pointed out to you, ted cruz said you can vote your conscience for anyone who will uphold the constitution. in this election, there is only one candidate who will uphold the constitution. [cheering] to paraphrase ted cruz, if you want to protect the constitution of united states, the only possible candidate this fall is the trump-pence republican

ticket. [cheering] that way we have the republican ticket to implement republican principles in washington. what i want to focus on is the subject that is dominated by thinking for decades, how do we keep america safe? keeping america safe is the first responsibility of the print -- president. any fascinating things to watch about the extra ordinary historic rise of donald trump are the most significant has been donald comes courage to tell some important truths about our national security. for example, we are at war. we are at war with article toamist, they are determined kill us. they are stronger than we admit and there is no substitute for victory. [cheering] in contrast to donald trump, our

national security and foreign oficy elites are incapable speaking with such honesty while they lie about the threat. we need to tell the truth about the danger. if our enemies have their way, not a single woman in this room could define her future. if our enemies have their way, gays, lesbians, transgender citizens would be put to death as they are today and the islamic state. if our enemies had their way, every person on earth would be subject to conversion by the sword and a cruel and violent system of law. there would be no individual liberty. there would be no equality. there would be no freedom. if you doubt we are at war, if you doubt that the threat is as real as i said, let me refresh your memory. on monday, an afghan refugee in germany used in acts and -- axe

to stop passengers. isis claimed responsibly after a tunisian man driven cargo crock -- truck into a crowd of friends. he murdered 84 people including 10 children. injured over 300 other 32 weeks ago, almost 300 people were killed and more than 200 wounded and bombing attacks in baghdad. two days before that, radical islamists in bangladesh killed , including three american college students. a few days before that, at the us temple airport in turkey, isis attackers armed with guns and bombs killed 44 people and injured hundreds more. last month, a radical islamist in paris stock to french police officer to his home where he murdered the officer, tortured his wife to death in front of the three old son while streaming it all on social

media. he was puttered out loud whether to kill the three-year-old when he was killed by police. three days before that, an attacker pledge of allegiance to exist and 49 people in an orlando nightclub and wounded dozens more. all of this in just the past 37 days. we cannot let ourselves groan im to the circulating -- gro w numb to be speculating atrocities. [cheering] analysismous -- estimated since january, 2015, some 30,000 people have been killed at the hands of terrorists. let's be clear, donald trump is right. we are at war with radical islamists, we are losing the war and we must change course to win the war.

[cheering] let me be very clear, because i know the news media will do their best to distort this, we have nothing to fear from the vast majority of muslims in the united states or around the world, the vast majority are peaceful. they are often the victims themselves. they are people we would be happy to have as our friends and neighbors. [cheering] the challenge is when even a billionrcentage of a people support violence against those who disagree with them, that is still a giant recruiting base. for example, the research finds that only 9% of muslims in isis favorably.

unfortunately, 9% is 16 million people that is just one country. the truth is all that we are losing the war with radical islamists, we have been very lucky. worsenger we face is much than the horse that happen in germany on new year's eve when 1200 women were assaulted. it is worse than what is happening in france where there are stabbings of jews in the streets and the nation security chief warned recite that europe is on the brink of civil war. it is worth that what is happening in israel when average citizens fear for their lives whenever they leave their homes. the danger is worth than september 11 when 19 hijackers murdered almost 3000 americans. the worst-case scenario is losing an american city to terrorists armed with weapons of

mass destruction. instead of losing 3000 people in one morning, we could lose more than 300,000. instead of losing two great buildings, we could lose block after block after block to a nuclear event. that is not just my view, back in january of 2001, the commission warned the terrorist acquirell require -- weapons of mass destruction and some will use them. americans will likely die on american soil, possibly in large numbers. later, dangerous or greater than a world where pakistan has nuclear weapons, north korea has been weapons and i ran -- iran is close to having nuclear weapons. very real threat. this brief is the heart of the matter, we are sleepwalking

through history as though this is all about politics. it is not. [cheering] it is about our safety and survival of the country. we cannot keep in place the people and the systems that have brought us to this point and then lie to us every single day about the threat. that is why every american should be terrified at the prospect of a hillary clinton presidency. hillary clinton has been right at the center of this dishonesty. we know this and ministration and the allies lied to us about the iran nuclear deal. we know it because they openly bragged about it to the old -- new york times between a fully clinton lied about us know in the about the terror attack in benghazi. we know that hillary clinton and president obama lie to the american people when they said they can safely screen the syrian refugees. they cannot. and yet, hillary was to increase the number of refugees by 500%. when you hear about hillary's remember, this is

not about politics. dishonesty hillary's to the loss of america as we know it. [cheering] the first of four to safety is elected a leader who will be truthful with the american people about the realities we face. only then will we understand support and demand that strategies require to confront the threat and because safety and security of the preconditions for our freedom and prosperity. it is also the first step towards rebuilding the america we love. donald trump understands this. that is why he will rebuild our military because he knows that a strong military is the best way to secure peace. donald trump will secure our borders because there is no such thing as a nation without a quarter. donald trump will enforce immigration laws, he will end

the policy of nonenforcement and and the abuse of our visa program to protect american workers. donald trump will take care of our veterans by holding bureaucrats accountable. he will far those responsible for the waiting lists and will give veterans more choices about their care. with donald trump's leadership, no pure cat will get between a veteran and their doctor. [cheering] donald trump will get america voting again. he will blow apart the ridiculous regulations and requirements that the -- drive infrastructure cost and the time i to get things build. the dollar company for such a program make us once again the most competitive economy in the world. donald trump will rebuild our education system and give every parent of every income and every

ethnic background a choice about where their child goes to school. donald trump will help us rebuild and strengthen the community. [cheering] the first of the safety. the basis for strong families and a good jobs and vibrant neighborhoods, that means restoring law and order. donald trump will showed zero-tolerance for people calling to the death of police officers. [cheering] think about this. if anyone publicly threatens the life of a president in, the secret service is on the men an instant. our law enforcement officers deserve the same respect as the president of the united states. [cheering] of course if individual officers are thought to have violated someone else's rights, page must be held accountable under the law.

nation under god, with liberty and justice are all. that has allowed us to absorb more people from our backgrounds than any nation in history. nobody is above the law and nobody is too small to deserve the protection. donald trump one our party's nomination because he is willing to tell the truth about the things that matter. he is a great running mate and mike pence. they will put our safety first and they will defend america first. [cheering] proud to stand with them. tonight, the challenge for everyone in this hall and everyone republican, democrat, independent watch at home and those we cannot concur -- ,ontinue on the current course we must rise above the politics we have inherited. ignore the lives of the news media and old order.

reject the dishonesty of hillary clinton. stand with donald trump and mike pence for what we know is true. we can make america safe again, we can make america work again, we can make america first again and together, we can make america great again for all americans. thank you and god bless you. [cheering] ♪

>> please welcome the speaker of the house, paul ryan. [cheering] >> hello. [cheering]

my fellow republicans. [cheering] i could not be more proud of our vice presidential nominee. [cheering] i served with this man in the house of representatives. we became very good friends. i've watched this man up close. i've seen what he is made of. let me tell you something about pence, this iske a man of solid character. this is a man who sees public service as a calling, not a career. he has served honorably with great dignity. you know what? the results are impressive. charge a man who led the to abandon your marketing congress and he won that fight. earmarks in congress and he

won that fight. [cheering] as governor of indiana, he passed the largest income tax cut in state history. [cheering] budget.anced the state [cheering] this man is a reagan conservative through and through. progrowth, pro-life, pro-strong defense. [cheering] importantly, he is the father of three beautiful children. michael, charlotte and audrey. karen thels his wife best part of my life. my fellow republicans, the man that you have nominated is a man of faith. a man of conviction. a man you can trust. he comes from the heart of the conservative movement and from the heart of america.

and that we need to send him an donald trump straight to the white house. [cheering] there is no doubt in my mind that he will bring real change to washington. i have every confidence that he will do us proud and so ladies and gentlemen, it is my honor to introduce to you the next as president -- vice president of the united states, opener mike pence. pence.rnor mike [cheering]

>> mr. chairman, delegates, americans, my fellow thank you from the bottom of my heart. i'm deeply humbled by your confidence and on behalf of my gone, i accept your nomination to run and serve as vice president. [cheering]

let me thank speaker paul ryan for that gracious welcome. you are a true friend and a great american leader. paul knows it well and he knows the introduction i prefer is just a little bit shorter. i'm a christian, a conservative, and the republican in that order. [cheering] know, i'm new to this campaign. i never thought i would be standing here. i thought i would be spending this evening with all my friends in the great state of indiana. [cheering] yet there i was, a few days ago in new york city with a man who won 37 states who faced 16

talented opponents and outlasted every one of them in along the way rock millions of new voters into the republican party. [cheering] known for a large personality, a colorful style and lots of charisma. i think he was just looking for some balance on the ticket. [cheering] for those of you who don't know me, which is most of you, i grew up on the front row of the american dream. my grandfather immigrated to this country. i was raised in a small town in southern indiana in a big family with a cornfield in the backyard. although we weren't really a clinical family, my heroes were

president john f. kennedy and the reverend dr. martin luther king jr.. when i was young, i watched my mom and dad build everything that matters. the family, a business, and a good name. i was raised to believe in hard work, faith, and family. my dad was a combat veteran in korea. [cheering] my dad ran a gas station and was a great father. if that were with us today, i have a feeling he would enjoy this moment. and probably be pretty surprised. [laughter] but it is such a joy for me to tell you that my mother is here. [cheering]

would you join me in welcoming the light of my life, my mom, nancy? [cheering] growing up, actually started in politics the other party. until i heard the voice and the ideals of the 40th president and i signed on to the reagan revolution. [cheering] but the best thing that ever happened to me, even counting tonight, is that 31 years ago i married the girl of my dreams, a schoolteacher and artist, she is everything to me.

would you welcome my wonderful wife karen pence? [cheering] and regardless of any title i will ever hold, most important job i will ever have is spelled d-a-d. [cheering] karen and i are blessed. we are blessed to be the parents of the three get his kids in the world. a writer named charlie, a college student in audrey and a second lieutenant in the united states marine corps, michael j spence. [cheering]

i'm so proud of you guys. [cheering] if you know anything about hoosiers, you know we like to suit up and compete. we play to win. that is why i joined this campaign in a heartbeat. you have nominated a man for president who never quits, who never backs down, a fighter, a winner. until now he has had to do it all by himself against all odds, but this week, with this united on november 8, i know we will elect donald trump to be the 45th president of the united states of america. [cheering]

we will win because we are running on the issues facing this country. and because we are leveling with the american people about the stakes and the choice. the american people are tired of being told. they're tired of being told that this is as good as it gets. tired of hearing politicians in both parties tell us that we will get to that tomorrow while we pile a mountain range of debt on our children and grand children. say,nald reagan used to tired of being told that a little intellectual elite can plan our lives better than we can plan them for ourselves. [cheering] in the end, this election comes down to just two names on the ballot so let's resolve here and now that hillary clinton will

never become president of the united states of america. [cheering] hillary clinton essentially offers a third obama term. the role is perfect for her. she championed obamacare because years earlier she had all but invented it. the national debt it has nearly doubled in the eight years and her only answer is to keep borrowing and spending. like the president, she thinks the path to eight road economy is more taxes and more regulation and more government. >> boo! >> they tell us this economy is the best that we can do. nowhere near the best we

can do. it is the best that they can do. [cheering] let me tell you, i know firsthand, it does not like -- have to be like this. in my home state of indiana, we prove every day that you can build a growing economy on evenced budgets, low taxes while making record investments in education and roads and health care. [cheering] you know, indiana is a state that works because conservative principles work every time you put them into practice. [cheering]

today, while the nation suffers under the weight of $19 trillion, with indian have a $2 billion surplus. the highs credit nation in the nation in that we have cut taxes every year since i became governor four years ago. [cheering] we have your state employees than when i took office and business is large and small have created nearly 150 -- 150,000 new jobs. that is what you can do with commonsense republican leadership and that is exactly what the no-nonsense leadership of donald trump will bring to be white house. [cheering]

donald trump gets it. in a game usually reserved for talkers. when donald trump does is talking, he does not tiptoe around the thousand new rules of political correctness. he is his own man. distantly american. where else would independent spirit i can find a following than the land of the free and the home of the brave? [cheering] the party inng is,

power seems helpless to figure out the nominee. the media has the same problem. otherll keep telling each that the usual methods will work against them. they keep thinking they have done him and only to wake up the next morning and find that donald trump is still standing and running stronger than ever before. the man just doesn't quit. [cheering] he is tough. he perseveres. he has gone about as far as you can go in business but he has never turned his back on the working men and women who make this country grow. [cheering] donald trump will never turn his back on those who serve and

protect us at home and abroad. [cheering] it has been a heartbreaking time for the women and men in our law enforcement community and in this time of -- let's let them know here and now, all across this country, we will always stand onh those who the thin blue line of law enforcement in america. [cheering] now, while donald trump was taking my editor as a possible

running mate, i did some observing myself. have seen the way he deals with people who work for him at every level. i've seen the way they feel about working for him. i grant you he can be a little rough with politicians on stage and i bet we can see that again. [cheering] but i have seen this good man up close, his utter lack of pretense, his respect for the people who work for him and his devotion to his family. [cheering] if you still doubt what i'm saying, as we say back on, you can't fake good kids. how about his amazing children? [cheering] aren't they something?

[cheering] these are the true measures of our nominee. chosen by the voters as the right man for these times. this is the outsider, my running mate. turned a longshot campaign into a movement. party, the other idea was to present the exact opposite of a medical outsider, the exact opposite of calculating truth teller, then on that score you have to hand it to the democratic establishment, they outdid themselves this time. [cheering] as a very moment when america is crying out for something new and

haserent, the other party answered with a stale agenda and the most predictable of names, people in both parties are restless for change, ready to break free from old patterns in washington and democrats are about to anoint someone who represents everything this country is tired of. you know, hillary clinton once a better title and i would too if i was already america's secretary of the status quo. [cheering] the toys could not be more clear. americans can elect someone who literally personifies the failed establishment in washington dc or we can choose a leader who will fight every day to make america great again. [cheering] it is change versus status quo. my fellow republicans, when donald trump becomes president

of the united states, the change will be huge. [cheering] for years we have had fun that the problems in america that talked to death in washington dc, but they never get solved. they even get worse. we have seen entire stretches of our country christian off not buy bad economic policies in ways that are deeply unfair. we see relentless mandate from the executive branch. it seems like no aspect of our lives is too small for the present administration to supervise and no provision of the constitution is too large for them to ignore.

[cheering] meanwhile, we have seen borders that go on respected, a military diminished, promise after reading promise to our veterans probably forgotten. that donald trump came along. [cheering] started saying what practically everybody was thinking anyway. that our leaders need to be stronger. under donald trump, our deals will be smarter, our soldiers will have what they need and our veterans will have what they aren't. we will secure our borders to nation and we will be more serious and when we do, this nation will start running again. [cheering] winning again. [cheering] you know, that is the message

that men and women of both parties have been longing to hear. none of us should think for one second that this will be easy. the outcome of the selection depends on us and how we contend with an incredible onslaught that is coming our way. this will not be america's first glimpse at the clinton machine. as bernie sanders can tell you. this time around, she will have the press to have her work order. >> boo! the good news is that it will not be nearly enough. not against a candidate who captures the attention of the country the way donald trump has. [cheering] on issue by issue, he and i will take our case to the voters.

looking out the failures of the obama-clinton agenda and showing a better way. we will win the hearts and minds of the american people with an agenda for a stronger and more prosperous america. [cheering] now, the establishment in washington dc thinks it is only a narrow range of voters who are giving donald trump a serious look, but i can tell you firsthand, there are a lot of americans who feel like democrat politicians have taken them for granted. it is union members who don't want a president who promises to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business. [cheering]

those miners won an american energy policy and they know that donald trump digs coal. [cheering] it is african-americans who remember generations of hollow promises about safe streets and better schools and they know donald trump will fight for equal opportunity and he loves educational choice. [cheering] it is hispanic americans who respect the law, what jobs and opportunities for their families who know that donald trump will uphold the law and get this economy moving for every american. [cheering]

the party of lincoln was founded on equality and opportunity. during these difficult days, it agenda our party and our that opens the doors for every american to succeed and prosper in this land. [cheering] in so many ways, the democratic party has abandoned those it used to protect. maybe they have become too entrenched in power. so comfortable at times that the list patients with the normal legislative process. to imposeuch simpler their values by executive order or court action and make no mistake about it, hillary clinton has a big ideas along those lines. >> boo! >> as this election approaches,

every american should know that while we are filling the presidency for the next or years, this election will define the supreme court for the next 40. [cheering] we all better think very carefully, very carefully about what this means for our constitution and limited government. elect hillary clinton and you better get used to being subject to unelected judges using unaccountable power to take unconstitutional actions. for the sake of the rule of law, for the sake of the sanctity of sake of our second and for the sake of all our other god-given liberties, we must ensure that the next president appointed

justices to the supreme court is donald trump. [cheering] and hillary clinton's record on foreign affairs is even worse. it was hillary clinton who helped undo all the gains of the troop surge. a staggering failure of judgment that set isis on the loose. it was hillary clinton who instigated the president disastrous agreement with the iran.al people in it was fully clinton who left americans and harm's way and make ozzie -- benghazi. then she said what difference at this point does it make? >> boo! up!ock her

lock her up! lock her up! up! her of a the proud father united states marine, let me say from my heart, anyone who said that, anyone who did that should be disqualified from ever serving as commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the united states of america. [cheering] seven half years, barack obama and hillary clinton policies have weakened america's place in the world. terrorist attacks at home and

abroad, grim and heartbreaking scenes from rents just a few weeks ago -- france just a few weeks ago and the attempted coup in turkey testament of a world spinning apart. history teaches that weakness arouses people. the clinton and barack obama's foreign policy of leading from ,ehind, moving redlines feigning resets with russia and the rise, cruel and reign of isis are a testament to the truth of history. we cannot have four more years apologizing to our enemies and abandoning our friends. [cheering] america needs to be strong for the world to be safe and on the world stage donald trump will

lead from strength. [cheering] donald trump will rebuild our military and stand with our allies. donald trump will confront radical islamic terrorism at its source and destroy the enemy of our freedom. [cheering] if the world does nothing else, it will notice, america stands with israel. [cheering] if you look at the calendar this morning, you may have noticed,

the presidency of barack obama ends exactly six months from today. [cheering] this much is certain, this much is certain of the obama years. they are not ending well. there seems to be so many things that divide us, so few great purposes that unite us as they once did.

it is at moments like this, thatts when politics fail i believe we do well to remember that what unites us far exceeds anything that sets us apart in america. [cheering] that we are, as we have always been one nation under god indivisible with liberty and justice for all. [cheering] should i have the awesome privilege to serve as your vice president, i promise to keep faith with the conviction. to pray daily for a wise and

discerning heart for who is able to govern this great people of yours. americans, i believe we have come to another rendezvous with destiny and i have faith, faith in the boundless capacities of the american people and faith that god can still heal our land. [cheering] but we have a choice to make. another time for choosing. if you want a president who will protect this nation, confront

radical islamic terrorism and rid the world of isis, if you want a president who will restore law and order to this country and give law enforcement the support and resources they deserve, if you want a president taxes, grow our economy and squeeze every nickel out of the federal rocker c -- bureaucracy, if you want a president who will build strong borders and enforce our laws, and if you want a president who will up and the status quo in washington dc and appoint justices to the supreme court , we uphold the constitution have but one choice and that man is ready. this team is ready. our party is ready and when we elect donald trump the 45th president of the united states,

together we will make america great again. [cheering] thank you. you and god bless the united states of america! [cheering]

an outstanding job in introducing himself and family to the rest of america. we are very proud. hoosiers all across india and proud of mike pence. steve: he said he was the balance to the ticket. your reaction? >> i think that is exactly right. he brings balance to the ticket. he is a great communicator as america got to see tonight. and heis very skilled has been called to this position. he served indiana with a servant's heart and now he's ready to serve america. type lbhere is a moment talked about for the next four years, the speech by senator ted cruz. should he have accepted the invitation by donald trump to speak knowing he would not endorse them? i think that says a lot for donald trump your he is going to listen to people that disagree with him. that is good. that is what any good person -- business person will do. it was into ideas from all people. they take on the ideas and then they come to a conclusion and

then the and make a decision. he brought somebody to the table that may not agree with all his policies and i think that shows he is willing to listen to what others have to say. steve: what was your reaction when you heard that? >> it was very disappointing to see that. i think newt gingrich did a very good job when he came out and answered, i think he answered ted cruz is, it's very well. steve: what you think senator cruz's motivations were? >> no idea. ask him. indiana commented that is traditionally a blue state and now you have a competitive governor and senate race. >> our state is traditionally a red state. we will be the first one on the board for donald trump and governor pence. grassrootse a strong effort all across the state. we have a great group of people that is fundraising already and we are going to go to work. we will work immediately for the

donald trump-pent team. steve: thank you for your time. back to you, susan. susan: thank you. we will begin taking your phone calls from around the country and also great britain. let's begin with brenda to us watching us in connecticut. a democrat. watching, making a full of himself. [indiscernible] susan: thank you. let's go to lisa. independent. >> first thing, i'm an independent. the first time in 20 years, i voting for bernie sanders. i've been watching the republican national committee and i think donald trump has shown himself to be the better should ted cruz understand that this is why he

is not the nominee. he is an embarrassment to the state. i will be voting for donald trump come november. picky. -- thank you. susan: a texan, calling. thank you. her own state senator made a political calculus by not endorsing the nominee. next up is alex from st. paul minnesota. >> democrat. -- democrat. >> in 2008 i voted for barack obama as was 2004. i've gotten very disappointed in what he has done. i decided to go republican and buffer donald trump. i think he will turn the country around. susan: thank you for your call. illinois. public in. -- republican. >> thank you for taking my call. i wanted to say that ted cruz

showed me tonight after such an evangelical conservative as he portrayed himself, he did the poor thingsistic tonight. ocked thely walked -- m whole pledge he made a year ago that he would ultimately support whoever the republican nominee was for president. he has lied to the american people and to be repelled can party and i think he went out there with that lawyer typeface, even mocked the new york delegation and said he appreciated the busy at some as they were booing him. a small,im to be petulant narcissistic i hope he is not trying to create a write-in party for himself and possibly hand the election to hillary by default. susan: thank you for your call. donny is up next. cap up florida. -- tampa bay, florida. >> i enjoyed the whole night.

ofe enjoyed the entire run the convention coverage. i will try this -- say this, i did at think that cruz bad job or that he was petulant or anything else. you got a call from texas, and reacted poorly. i thought ted cruz's speech was the best one that he never given. i'm not a ted cruz fan. i tend to be more liberal. i consider myself a democrat up until this time frame, but i've been run of the party by the clintons who i worked for twice. i will say this, it means a lot i me, is that this guy, pence would have loved to have seen what a guy like that could of done at the top of the ticket. steve: --

susan: thank you. oliver from phoenix. republican. >> thank you for having me. what is your comment? tell us your comment, please. >> i'm sorry. i'm grateful this is the second election i will be voting and. i'm very confident watching the convention and watching your coverage and to think that a man like donald trump and mike pence can single handedly change the country and the thought of the country is wonderful. a liberal area within the comment about ted cruz, i don't agree with, i disappointed in ted cruz the fact that he did not endorse the party's candidate. what did by saying thank you for having me and i hope every boat correctly in november.

on twitter, it's your right think goodness for ted cruz to liven up an otherwise boring gop convention. next is teresa from manchester, new hampshire. democrat. >> hello. i also work for hillary clinton's campaign back in 2008 and i now consider myself a reformed them across. even though i'm still registered as a democrat. i did support ted cruz during the primary, however, his speech tonight, although it was a good speech, the fact that he did not honor a pledge that he made to the american people spoke volumes to me. because iport trump cannot allow hillary clinton treat the white house. she is a criminal and she belongs behind bars. next up is nancy hammond,

indiana, democrat. >> i have been a democrat all my life. i'm 74. i voted for john f. kennedy. .'ve been a loyal democrat i crossed over for the first time of my life and budget for donald trump in the primary. . will vote straight republican . will vote for donald trump thank you. susan: thank you for your call. hope you feel better. chris, pennsylvania. republican. >> i would like to say that i'm really disappointed in ted cruz, he had a chance to unite the party and he really failed horribly. he went against everything he said he would stand for.

i'm really upset with the way he portrayed himself. susan: thank you. clip of the to a end of senator cruz's speech. >> the case we have to make to the american people, the case that each person in this room has to make to the american people is to commit to each of them that we will defend freedom and be faithful to the constitution. we will unite the party, we will unite the country by standing together for shared values, by standing for liberty, god bless

each and every one of you and god bless the united states of america. [mixed reaction from crowd] susan: let's return to the floor. steve sully is in the texas delegation now. delegates,ave two one from houston and one from lebanon. let me get your reaction to your senators saying vote your conscience. >> it was disappointing. i would have hoped for a full-fledged endorsement of donald trump. but have to say i'm not surprised. steve: why are you not surprised? >> i think he is still bitter

and upset about the way these have worked out and unfortunately, maybe protecting what he hopes is his political future, but may not be. time will tell. steve: do you think he has a political future? a national future? >> people's memories are short. it will not help. tonight will not help him. steve: you are from houston, your reaction? want to't really to -- repeat what he said but it was very disappointed. i expected more from a man of god. he seemed very bitter. where does this but the republican party, day three, as they tried to leave cleveland

and unite the party to defeat hillary clinton? >> we going to leave united. what senator to cruz said, he went all the way around stopping short of endorsing donald trump. maybe he needs some more time but the delegates and the nation , the republicans are going to be united. we full heartedly and enthusiastically support this. >> i think it may help with some independence. or some others or maybe on the fence. there were some people who were for senator cruz that, you know, never trump and those people were going to be that way no matter what. but i think it could have solidified some others that are also very disappointed in what happened tonight.

we have been reading facebook from folks back home and some people are disgusted at what happened. >> not only that, but donald trump is giving the message that we want to hear and he will do what we need for this country and that is the most important thing. , it will pass. ted cruz, his reaction or lack of reaction and his not honoring the pledge to support the winner , that is on him. as far as our nation coming together and voting for somebody who will lead us out of the troubles we are in, that is going to be donald trump. bottom line, next time you see senator chris, what will you tell him? -- senator cruz, what will you tell him? >> i will say we are disappointed in the events. >> we probably will have the conversation but if we did, that is what i would say. say?: what would you

>> identify with anything, but if i did, i would say it saddened me. not a good move. i'm hoping it heals. steve: from the texas delegation, thank you for your time. susan, back to you. here is a similar echo from a viewer on twitter. he writes, i voted for ted cruz, i'm very disappointed that he did not endorse donald trump. a texas collar. an independent. your comment. >> i wanted think c-span. i like following the coverage that you do appreciate it. i don't know what it means, but i wanted to note or point out , the ideas at the end, the last prayer, donald trump just kept walking and did not stop and join in. my only comment.

susan: thank you for the nice comments about c-span. collar -- caller. democrat since before i was registered to vote and i feel kind of bad for the republican party watching this. they had not seen any specific proposals and it is unfortunate for them, watching this go on for several days without any plans for the country. i hope they are able to assemble themselves in some way after this so that they can be competitive. susan: thank you. scott from wisconsin, republican. welcome. >> hello. i don't know how you vote for hillary when she gives away

secret from the government. with an unsecured router -- server but i would rather vote for someone who tells the truth and decides to sway from the truth and disbelieve the american people, it is just, trumpets straightforward and hillary is above the law and not accountable for any actions that she takes. next is a call from mark speech wasted cruz good but he forgot the endorsement of trump. he deserves to be bood. steam is back in the texas delegation. kendall and anna

marie from texas. this is where the story is tonight. let me get reaction to what ted cruz did and did not do this evening. >> he is a brilliant man, but what he did not do today, he was not a team player. he lost. i was here for the first presidential debate and donald trump, and i did not vote for him at the primary, i voted for marco rubio, i got over it after one day. donald trump defeated 16 senators and governors. a made with a third grade education and my grandmother from mexico had no education but i learned to think from her. when you win, you win with humility. when you lose, you must lose gratefully and with all due respect to senator chris, i know he is a brilliant scholar, he must still in the art of gracefulness under defeat. steve: your reaction? >> i love ted cruz. he is a very honorable man.

i'm proud to be from the same status him. but i'm disappointed that he did not put his support behind trump tonight and i have loved him from the beginning and i was really hoping that he would come together with the other candidates that were in the primary like they did and endorse him. steve: do you think ted cruz has a political future in texas and or nationally? >> for me in texas, no. for some people that have large bank accounts, they are extremely angered, before i came back, i went to the ladies room and the women there were furious. years,uns again in two two years is a long time and we texans, you know the saying, don't mess with texas, and unfortunately, you just did. >> i think tonight hurt his political future. i know he is a brilliant man and what probably try to come back from this, but as of now, he hurt himself tonight. steve: thank you very much for

your time, from the texas delegation. susan: thank you, steve. appreciate it. this was mike pence's big night and our twitter feed and colors are mostly about ted cruz. upstaging what the campaign would hope would be the big event of the night. here's a supporter of ted cruz, surprised to shut up after being called a liar and having his wife and that attack. -- dad attacked. next up is tony from kansas. republican. >> i just wanted to say that i'm not -- have not watched any convention before but i've never seen such a time in our nation or a lot of people have never paid attention and need to pay attention. i went to say thank you for c-span for offering coverage

that is not slated in any way. you're are letting the people speak and relating -- letting the is a play and not injecting your comments or opinions. i did serve a few other channels and they would break through and start making comments when it was a time when we needed to be listening and hearing what the speakers had to say. i just wanted to give a shout out for doing such a good job on unbiased coverage. susan: becky so much and let me think -- take the opportunity to to the crew here cleveland and all the folks back in c-span headquarters. then we moved to philadelphia of pick up with coverage monday-thursday of the democratic national convention live gavel-to-gavel everything night on the network. next is a tweet from rocky sanchez who says i'm proud of ted cruz for standing behind his

principles. the state plates was just for trump who hijacked the party. next is a call. marty from morphological independent. >> i would like to say that number one, we have been a donald trump fan ever since he started. he is a businessman, he knows wello run a business very and i believe he will surround himself with people that will advise him on any of the matters. mike pence, we were extremely impressed with him. his face and family and what he has done for the state of indiana. ted cruz, on the other hand, i had high hopes for him in the future, but i was extremely disappointed by his lack of support to unite the republican party.

we are a retired military family. heldry is, is to be accountable for everything that she has done. she has not supported our military, nor does he support our men in blue that protect our communities every day. the other thing i would like to say is thank you for c-span for your coverage. it has been phenomenal and i was extremely happy to see the mainstream media called out reportingrther unfair throughout this whole primary. that is all i have to say and thank you very much. susan: thank you. next up is tony, fort washington . democrat. [indiscernible]

susan: are you there, we have a that connection? >> yes, can you hear me. susan: go ahead. >> first of all, i would like to thank c-span. as a democrat, i have been watching this convention from the very beginning. i will say, i've been waking for specifics, i've heard that make america great again. but to my opinion, it has never stopped from being great. i would also like to say on behalf of of ted cruz, not in the sense of the fence, but benefits of people that want to criticize him, look at all the other people that did not show. all the people from the status quo per se the republican party that do not show. at least this man did show up and i truly believe that instead

cruz, itizing ted donald trump had won the primary, he needs to be the bigger person and apologize publicly to this man for calling out his family, to be able to show a picture of his wife, a picture of ted cruz and his wife man would to -- what not be defending his family? when you want to sit there and criticize ted cruz, the man had enough golf to take it show up -- and -- gull and show up, at least it showed that he had in my opinion trying to reach out. tell me how many times donald trump had tried to reach out to ted cruz. tell me how may times donald trump has said, this was the primary, i'm sorry what i said about your family, sorry what i said about you calling you a liar, you can ask someone to the endorser when all you did was

criticize him and i know it is primaries in running for election and things will be said, but if you want the party to come together, the donald trump should be the bigger for those apologize comments. those are hurtful comments. anyone sitting up your calling in and thing i'm disappointed in him, put the shoe underfoot. if i were to call your wife or your husband out or your kids or family member and see how well you would receive that. susan: thank you. democrat watching us. steve is on the floor once again. i'm with jenna johnson, part of the washington post team. what a night. >> that is one way of saying it. i don't think either of us predicted what was going to happen here tonight. and what we witnessed. steve: imagine what your editors will be putting front page, mike

cruz?and or ted be mikeis supposed to pence is night. this is supposed to be the big coming out, his introduction to the country. but ted cruz is the big story. he took the stage, huge applause. this place was on its feet applauding him and as he left the stage, they were doing him. booing him. this marked a major moment in the history of the party. it's is that even the donald trump is not the nominee, not everyone is on board. there is not whole unity. steve: as i was coming into the hall, haley barbour, former chair of the rnc, for mississippi governor was shaking her head and said he was disgusted. what do you think is happening within the gop establishment? do you think they knew that ted cruz was not going to endorse donald trump?

>> ted cruz's speech was a huge secret to the last minute. this morning, palmetto fort -- paul manafort was saying if he did not know that ted cruz would endorse him or not. he had not seen the speech. there was this feeling that if he was good to endorse, if it was going to happen, it probably would have known about it about then. the speech staff came through at the last minute and a lot of people are upset. there is disagreement about whether he should have gotten up there and given that speaker donald trump said a tweet a couple minutes ago very unhappy about what happened but putting out that ted cruz got a lot of boos. steve: he came into the hall as ted cruz was finishing the speech. do you think he knew what was going to happen? >> on try to figure out who knew what when.

from what i'm gathering out, there was at least a little bit of a heads up. steve: indiana governor mike pence. he was a surprise pick initially, how did he did tonight? >> he did really well. if everyone was not talking to each other about what ted cruz had just said and what had just happened with that, mike pence is someone that a lot of americans don't know. they had been googling him this week. in conservative circles, they know it really well in what he brings to trump are the things that some companies not to he manages to get through interviews without making his. he can stick to it script. he can speak soothingly to conservatives telling them that this guy is ok, i'm behind them, you can get behind him also. steve: one more night of the convention. how is it going for the republicans? >> this convention was supposed

to be about bringing the party together. making him the official nominee so that there would be no more chances of challenging his nomination. and getting everyone together and it, the first night, donald trump came out on stage to we are the champions, kind of beateng about having fellow republican senate primary. that same night he had gone on fox news to complain about ohio governor john kasich not showing up to the convention. then we had ted cruz tonight given what sounded like what he would have said if he was accepting the nomination this week and not endorsing donald trump. sure there is community that is happening, some things that are happening, but in an arena like this starts booing, it is not a good sign. steve: any insight into what donald trump was a tomorrow? --

was a tomorrow -- will say tomorrow? >> great question, i stopped predicting. his theme is making america one again. he has set a negative tone on the campaign trail and there has been a doom and gloom feel to this convention. a lot of heavy topics, the sky is falling, the world is exploding, type rhetoric. it will be interesting to see if he can come in with a fresh, new methods. be one that is more positive. it will be interesting to see if he will stop talking about all of his primary wins and start focusing on the general election . the nose. we will see what happens. steve: we deliver your story in the paper tomorrow. thank you. back to you, susan. susan: we will return to your comments on night three of the

republican national convention. mark davis takes us in a different direction. he must to talk about eric come speech. eric come speech was amazing. i felt what he said about his dad in my heart. as a dad, it gave me a drive and hope. next is a call from jimmy in california. -- craig. i'm sorry, i apologize. craig is gone. we will move to jimmy in chicago. independent. >> good afternoon. thank you for taking my call. i do not have a party affiliation, but i wanted to say that going off mr. gingrich's speech, and the former clinton administration, with respect to islamic terrorism, decided to bomb the innocent country of serbia to support bin laden and in turn, he returned the favor by causing a major
