6:01 pm
states right here in cleveland. and today mr. trump ended the speculation about who will join him on that road to the white house. here are some of the highlights of trump's announcement naming indiana governor mike pence as his running mate. >> i found a lead here will help us deliver a safe society and a prosperous, really prosperous society for all americans. indiana governor mike pence was my first choice. mike pence is a man of honor, character and honesty. we know that. hillary clinton is the embodiment of corruption. she's a corrupt person. what a difference between crooked hillary clinton and mike pence. [ applause ] mike pence will never be afraid to speak the name of our enemy, radical islam, radical
6:02 pm
terrorism. >> i thank donald trump for the confidence you've placed in us and i accept your invitation to run and serve as vice president of the united states of america. >> americans were choose a leader who will fight to make america safe and prosperous again, and bring real change. or we can elect someone who literally personifies the failed establishment in washington, d.c. seven and a half years of barack obama and hillary clinton's policies have weakened america's place in the world and stifled our nation's economy. terrorist attacks at home and abroad. grim and heartbreaking scenes from france, just a few short days ago. the attempted coup in turkey, all a test to a world spinning
6:03 pm
apart. for the sake of our security, for the sake of our prosperity, for the sake of a supreme court that will never turn its back on our god-given liberties, let's come together. as party and a people as a movement to make america great again, and that day begins when donald trump becomes the 45th president of the united states of america! joining me now by phone, eric trump, executive vice president at the trump organization, and son of soon to be republican nominee for president, donald trump. good evening, eric. >> judge, how are you? >> i am well. how are you guys feeling today? >> amazing day. amin amin, an amazing day. the governor, mike pence, a wonderful guy. got to know him this week, an
6:04 pm
amazing job and will do a great job on the campaign and i don't think my father could have a better person by his side. >> you know, eric, he is a favorite among conservatives and republican party insiders. but at the same time, mike pence is not from a swing state. and initially endorsed ted cruz, although to be fair at the same time, he gave your dad incredible kudos. what does he actually bring to the ticket? >> the last six months i've been saying to people that my father wasn't going to pick somebody who would carry a state for him. somebody mentally competent to represent's people of our country that quite frankly hasn't been represented well by our politicians's look at indiana. a aa bond rating. one of the best of any state in the nation. one of the largest tax decreases of any state in the country, in fact, under pence, taxes went down every single year he was governor of the state. they added 186,000 jobs in the state. one of the lowest unemployment.
6:05 pm
it was 9% when he went in, now it's under 4%. one of the largest hikes in educational spending, proven gate for the state and the list goes on and on. all the things my father has talked about the last year, he's done himself and he's done a tremendous job and indiana is doing incredible, and that's why, you know, mike pence is ultimately his running maehl. -- running mate. he wants to do the very same things for this nation. >> interesting, i think your dad said all along he wants someone who is more the politician, more, kind of the washington insider beltway kind of candidate, and mike pence certainly brings that with his foreign policy experience on the armed services committee. along with his congressional experience, and his experience as a chief executive and a $2 billion surplus in indiana. but now that your father
6:06 pm
solidified the right, does he need to moor move left to get independence? >> listen, i don't know about that. i mean, i think my father's been clear on this platform. his platform is all about jobs, all about national security. keeping this country safe, taking care of debts. taking a country that's ranksed 30th in the world in terms of our education, you know, and vastly increasing that. that's really an em kbaembarras the message of putting america first, ahead of other countries. the $500 billion imbalance with china. you see the $80 billion trade imbalance with mexico. he wants to have great trade deals, that's just platform. he's been very, very clear about it, and that's his platform. i don't think he's altering -- >> a lot of people, eric -- sorry. go ahead. >> i don't think he's moving off that in any regards. he wants to put america first again and that's ultimately why he's running. >> you know, a lot of people are saying that, you know, his
6:07 pm
temperament, mike pence's temperament and his tone is even keel, and provides a great balance, but i want you to listen to what senator elizabeth warren tweeted today, talking about, i think we have that -- you know, that they're a perfect match. two small, insecure men. is this woman now going to be the pit bull for the hillary clinton campaign? >> listen, one thing i can tell you about mike pence, he's not insecure. he was a united states marine, an incredibly tough guy and he's a great guy, too. you can sit down with somebody at a table and instantly know if they're a quality person. i can tell you, he is a quality person. his wife is a quality person. i mean, they are amazing, amazing people. and you know, i think she's got her own problems and will probably be the pitbull for hillary and probably hillary needs that, but no better person could be on the ticket. he's a truly quality man and my
6:08 pm
father is a quality mean. he's the greatest. doing this for all the right reasons, doing this to solve the problems politicians like hillary clinton created and that's exactly why he's running. >> quickly, before we go, i'm excited, we're here in cleveland. what can we expect at the trump convention? >> it's going to be great. going to be great. i'm speaking, melania is speaking, you know, a lot of private sector people speaking. the list has been incredible and the amount of people calling our family, we speak at the convention, can we please speak? big, big names. we've got an amazing convention lined up. entertaining, different, very, you know -- there's going to be a lot of audiovisual and a lot of technology incorporated into it. it's really going to be fantastic and, listen, also a lot of heart in there. here i am, i'm going to speak about my father and the man he is and the father he's been to me, and ivanka and donald will do the same thing and an amazing
6:09 pm
kwex, judge. >> cleveland sk whoing forward to it. i can tell you that. >> can't wait to get there. see you soon. my next guest is livid over president obama's reaction to the latest horrific terror attack in nice, france. take a listen to this. >> i'm done trying to convince our president to actually define this enemy. we know what it is. it's radical islamic terrorism, vicious, barbaric and on a march. i'm sorry. i'm on a roll because i'm so, just, pissed. >> joining me now here in cleveland, former intelligence director under president obama, lieutenant general michael flinn. general, go to have you here. you were angry, a lot of us were angry. what do we need to do to fight this? >> i'll tell you, i am -- i'm less angry and more resolved we must beat these guys. there are so many things we're
6:10 pm
not doing, and probably the principle thing and i've been talking about this a long time. we have to discredit the idea along, but we have to get the muslim world and leaders in the muslim world and the leadership, i put that in quotes, in iran, to step up and be counted, say we have disease inside of our ideology. >> that far, why? >> we haven't asked him or put demands on them. we've used this soft power approach with a very -- a very weak strategic, or very weak strategy. narrowly focused. >> what are you saying? we need the carrot and a stick? >> we need a much bigger approach 20 what we're doing. a bigger stick and in terms of the carrot piece, we probably have been given too much of that. >> you think? >> absolutely. and there's been too much of that. i mean, these countries out there, they know. they know they have a problem, judge, and i will tell you that until we put more demands on them, i mean, who in the -- who
6:11 pm
in the world right now, who in that world has said anything about what happened recently in nice? >> you know what? general -- president el sisi is someone who wanted our help and president obama wouldn't give him the help. preferred the muslim brotherhood morsey. el sisi is someone interested in helping us. he went to the muslims, said -- to the -- >> i'm a big fan of president el sissi. a little over a year and a half went to a mosque in cairo and called his ideology out. the mosque is sort of like the vatican of the muslim world, the islamic world. stands there, says what do we expect of our, of our, you know, of islam? to have 1.2 billion people kill the other 7 billion people on the planet? almost verify -- verbatim.
6:12 pm
we basically shunned him, and should have jumped on that statement and have not. >> the president said he's sending a few hundred troops? that going to help anything? what'sing that about? >> we're the best enemies in at world because we continue to telegraph what we're going to do. frankly, i don't know what the 500, the great, great 500. 25, i think is the number, men and women they're going to send there. what they're going to do, no yo. i suspect they probably don't totally understand what they're getting themselves into. two years ago had 175, today almost up to 6,000. today a trickle effect of sending forces to a very incoherent strategy is something we've got to get fixed and to me that's why i've been adamant about what i've been saying, publicly, but also why i, i am so -- i have been attracted for over a year now to donald trump's message. it's so refreshing. because it's a sort of a tough
6:13 pm
diplomacy. it's a strong leadership and everybody thinks it's an isolationist. it's not. this is about global leadership by america, and putting our country, if we're strong, believe me the rest of the world can be strong. >> are we in a war now? >> absolutely. i write about this in a book i put out. >> "field of fight." >> "field of fight." they declared war on us. we're dancing around because we don't want to say what exactly -- we don't want to define exactly what this enemy is, and in our government, people aren't even allowed to say radical islam. excised from training, excised from the conversations. >> scrubbed from the manual. >> truly scrubbed. >> where do we conduct the fight? the where should this fight be conducted? >> the first part of the fight is really, again, to -- like we did against communism and the nazis, we must have a gigantic information campaign against it and discrediting this ideology,
6:14 pm
and this is where we've got to bring the arab world leaders in to join us to do this. they have to take a stand. they have to take a stand. otherwise, were she to make decisions about america to cut them off from certain aspects of aid, economic aid, so this is where we bring in our economic power. >> let me ask you one question. you're a tough guy. a strong man. you're about as knowledgeable as anyone on what's going on. are you scared? >> yeah. i tell people that -- that i don't scare easily, but this crowd scares me, because i know they have the intention, they have talked about using chemical, biological, dirty nuclear weapons. i mean, look at what they do. they run over children, women, people attending you know, an independence day celebration. just because they hate us. just because they hate us. we will -- their view is either enslave us, make us turn to their way of life, or kill us. >> kill us. >> that's it. >> all right. general mike flynn "field of fight."
6:15 pm
i got it. thanks for being with us. >> thanks. terror attacks, coup attempts. how can the united states deal with a world on fire? former u.s. ambassador to the u.n., john bolten is here at the convention, and he's going to join me, next, live. and later, lee carter, a look how this race to change this week, and how the critical swing states will impact the election. justice, live from cleveland, rolls on in a moment.

6:20 pm
to serve in cleveland today, and they're the first of what should be about three waves of police officers taking the oath to serve, to pitch in the effort and that's in addition to some 3,000 or 4,000 federal employees and agents pitching in on security efforts. the have already begun. we watched an organization calling themselves the coalition of the oppressed today marching through town. none of the demonstrations have been very big, but one of the prime speakers, malik shabazz, may remember him from ferguson, said today, no way we'll get through this convention without some kind of violence. >> from what aknow and many of the groups on the left, mostly the white left are and others, i know for a fact there's going to be the blocking of highways and arrests, and -- you know, there's going to be some things. not here, but it's going to go on next week. it's highly likely there will be a lot of arrests. there will be tear gas. it's going to be happening. it will be happening here.
6:21 pm
>> reporter: the courts open 24 hours to handle all the arrests. gear, 10,000 pairs of flex cuffs. police, seen them around time, the mayor, maintain a soft profile. basic police uniforms and duty belts. the 2,000 sets of riot gear won't come out until the situation gets bad. judge? >> mike tobin, thanks so much. and with me now former u.s. ambassador to the u.n. and fox news contributor john bolton. good evening, ambassador. so much to talk about. you almost don't know where to start, but i do want to start with nice. you know, this is france, three times, they had "charlie hebdo," and now nice. what is unique about france? why france as opposed to the other countries? >> between france and belgium, magnets for people from the middle east speaking french, former french colonies, and i
6:22 pm
think they're particularly vulnerable. i was in paris the weekend before the attack on nice. there were armed uniformed military all over the center of paris. apparently not in nice and the other cities. revealed earlier this week to show the mentality of the french government, testimony about the torture the victims of the bataclan suffered before they died, that you can't even repeat on this newscast, that the french government suppressed. not telling, not treating the citizens of france like adults to let them know what criminals these terrorists are. >> why? why? why? >> i think because they share the president francois hollande shares with president obama a fear when people learn the real terrorist threat, in their mind, we were overreact. meaning we'll defend ourselves. >> interesting, president hollande said today he would go on the offensive? >> i think after three devastating attacks like he suffered, a politician who faces
6:23 pm
re-election next year has begun to get the message. that hasn't seeped into the white house yet. >> all right. talk about turkey. so much going on. why is turkey important to the united states? >> well, as a nato ally, it's often said it's a bridge between europe and the middle east. certainly because of its geography. >> right. >> controlling the bobossferrou important country in the cold war to stop russian expansionism and given what has happened in this coup, we passed po essentially a very historic moment. the end of the century-long movement to create this may be over. >> a coup to throw the president out of office while on vacation. that didn't work. people arrested. was turkey ever the friend we needed and wasn't part of the
6:24 pm
problem that erdogan was going more towards the muslim radicals? >> precisely. the tush, rkish ally, mustafa wd a europe-oriented secular, muslim but secular government. no established religion. he abul abolished the last caliphate. mustafa said if we couldn't break through of the islamic hold we would never make turkey -- for 100 years against establishing islam at the state religion. erdogan as clearing that away. a last-ditch effort by pro-military forces, crushed, no doubt about it. >> interesting, andy, it worked in egypt, where the egyptians said, no. we don't want, know, the muslim
6:25 pm
brotherhood. we don't want to go radical islam, but the same thing, the military coup didn't work in turkey. >> a very important comparison, because for the past ten years or more, erdogan has been systemically purging the upper regions of the turkish military of pro--secretary-generals, put in personal loyalists and kun one other thing. purging the judiciary, a co-guarantor of the co-secular, a statement by the president of the security council supporting the erdogan government bloshg blocked by egypt, which says you cannot say that the erdogan government is democratic. >> ah. >> but the el sisi government in egypt, picking up exactly on your point. sees what's happening. i think this is a very disturbing moment for the united states. it could mean the loss of turkey as an ally. i think erdogan will use the
6:26 pm
failed coup now as an excuse to crack down. he's arrested thousands of people already. power was turned off at an important u.s. air base in turkey. >> what about our base? is that -- >> that was our base. >> our base? >> exactly. erdogan is demanding in effect the extradition of -- >> that cleric in pennsylvania. >> yes. >> running up against a break here, but is that going to happen? >> well, we need to know whether in fact, gulen had involvement in this. we have u.s. laws against that sort of thing. >> extradition. >> on the other hand, if he's extradited, he'll never see the light of day again. we have to be very careful about bowing to erdogan's demand here. >> well, he certainly is going to be acting quite differently now. he doesn't need to be as moderate as he was. >> very disturbing. you can't calculate how bad this is at the moment. >> ambassador bolton, thank you so much. >> glad to be whith you. live in cleveland straight through until 11:00 tonight.

with the republican national convention just about a day away, the polls show a tight race shaping up between donald trump and hillary clinton. especially in many of the vital swing states. joining me now to break it down, republicans and lee, start before we get into the swing states, what did mike pence add to donald trump in terms of the electorate? >> i think what he added is short of the conservative base now. questions whether or not true conservatives would vote for donald trump dnt. i think he gave him that. the true red states what people are questioning, i think are now more likely to go to dnt donald trump. really what he was after. >> talking about the swing states and the talk now is that things are starting to even up in pennsylvania and ohio and
6:45 pm
florida. donald had a couple tough weeks there. but in those swing states that we see in nevada, colorado, iowa, ohio, virginia, florida, new hampshire, what is happening in those states? >> i think things are tightening up. what i'm saying, the trends are going a little towards donald trump and away from hillary clinton. so i think there's certain states we're looking at like virginia and colorado that we're seeing hillary's having good poll numbers but not as concerned about those. the most important thing to watch for donald trump right now is florida. he cannot win without florida. i think in every model we've tested there's only 6% or 7% of the time he can win the collectoral college if he doesn't win florida. that's where i would focus my attention. >> okay. >> go ahead. >> you go. >> the other thing i'm looking at. independent and undecides.
6:46 pm
undecides and independent depending on certain states like virginia, seem to be breaking for dnt dp donald trump. we need to keep our eyes on those numbers as well. >> are some of those numbers due to the issue with, you know, manufacturing, coal workers and hillary basically saying she, you know, they would all be out of work. those states of pennsylvania and where else? what other swing state might be involved in that? >> i think ohio is a big state where jobs are an issue. the rust belt and the midwest, a lot of states, primary concern, jobs and whether or not people are talking about how tech folks aren't going for donald trump and tech is where job, coming from, we need to bring jobs back here and need to find ways to do that. donald trump is speaking to that, bringing people to his side. polling numbers people most
6:47 pm
concerned about jobs and the economy go to donald trump. >> mike pence solidifies that. let me go back a little in time. the number was very high when jim comey came out and said, you know, there's no basis, no reasonable prosecutor has tha would bring charges or indict hillary. that didn't go over well with the electorate. how has that affected her numbers? >> that did not do well for hillary clinton. i don't think we've seen the end of that. fumy 92% of the population now of voting americans believe that hillary clinton either did something criminal or extremely careless and wrong. that goes to her judgment and will have a huge impact and three weeks ago, four weeks ago, seeing that she was ahead in the polls by seven points, five points and now in nationwide polls seeing it's 40-40, neck and neck. that's a result of that, i think. we also haven't seen fully the impact of the most recent events, whether the dallas shootings, the horrible incidents in nice, france, and seeing now what's happening in
6:48 pm
turkey. i think all of those issues are likely to play against hillary clinton as well. >> all right. lee carter, thanks for being with us tonight. >> anytime. and scott bayeio is still ahead in our snext hour. live in cleveland. stay close. l ove crab and who doesn't then seize the day already. crabfest is back at red lobster with so many kinds of crab and the most crab dishes of the year. so dive into whatever floats your crab-loving boat. like crab lover's dream. crack open tender snow and king crab legs, and twirl creamy crab alfredo. or try the new alaska bairdi crab dinner. sweet and straight from the icy waters of alaska, you've gotta get it... to really get it. but it won't last forever, so hurry in.

welcome back to "justice" life from cleveland where the countdown is on for the start of the republican national convention. joining me to weigh in on all the latest developments, republican strategist david avella. i assume everyone's happy with mike pence. >> we are. in fact, i've got my speech ready for when i deliver it monday afternoon before the delegates to the convention. then i'm going to come down and stand besides you so we can wave our make america great signs in unison. >> you know what, it would be great if we could as a country be more united than we are right now, and what's interesting is that after what happened in
6:53 pm
nice, i think more and more americans are thinking about the fact that terrorism might affect not just us over here but someone in their family. how does that play into the party and the candidate? >> you hit on a very important point for this election. every week when there is a new attack, it makes voters think more and more about their personal security, and recently, pew research that has been tracking this well before 9/11 came out with its newest findings that 51% of americans now think they or a member of their family will be a victim of terrorism. as those numbers stay that high or hopefully they don't, but could get higher, it only makes foreign policy and terrorism more of an issue and on this issue, look, there couldn't be a bigger difference. you have hillary clinton who allowed four americans to die in
6:54 pm
benghazi and who was part of every major foreign policy decision that has helped get us to this point, where we are in the fight on terrorism, versus donald trump who says we are going to close down our borders to make sure we know who's coming in here, we are going to get out people who have committed crimes and want to do harm to america, get them out, and we are going to get tough on terrorists. now, that's a pretty easy choice for most americans about who they're going to vote for. >> you know what, s many americans, and i don't have the numbers right now, she is seen as someone who has better numbers on foreign policy. i don't quite understand that but let me pose this question to you. after nice, hillary clinton comes out and she says we need to, you know, get more intelligence. that was her response to nice. >> certainly we need to get more
6:55 pm
intelligence but we also need to get tough on the folks who are actually committing the attacks and intelligence helps with that. there's no question about that. but you know, she was in charge of the state department. why did we not use the state department, working with the cia to beef up our intelligence? why was she not going to the president and asking for more money to help beef up the intelligence? look, as we just talked about, she has been part of and helped put us on the current track that we're on. so for her now to have these new ideas is somewhat disingenuous and it also goes to why people don't trust her. >> and finally, donald trump speaking at the convention obviously and the family. what do you think the numbers are going to be? is it going to be good for republicans and for the television stations? >> donald trump is going to get the highest ratings for a speech of a presidential nominee in
6:56 pm
history. love him or hate him, people tune in to what he has to say. it is going to be a good night for television. it's going to be a good night for ratings. and it's going to be interesting. >> it sure is. thank you, david. that's it for this first hour of our special two-hour edition of "justice" but don't think about going anywhere. scott baio, one of the names on deck. second jam-packed hour starts in a few moments. ♪ [announcer] is it a force of nature?
