you don't tell nato. it surprised everyone. it does not appear to be be a brilliantly planned or executed event. let's reserve all judgment until all of the facts are in. >> reporter: turkey is blaming the attempted coup on a excelled cleric who now lives in pennsylvania. goulan condemned the attempted coup but the president of terbingy is pushing hard for the u.s. to extradite them. but turkey will need to provide legitimate evidence that goul an was involved. people of france remembering the victimses killed when a truck played in the crowd. isis claiming responsibility for are the attack. and an american father and son

>> france remains on high alert. and memorial growing on the promenade desanlees. and isis is claiming responsibility for the carnage and referring to the the truck driver as one of its soldier.

benjamin hall is live in nice. what is the latest on the ground, benjamin? >> reporter: trace, we have walked around the tea and in the aftermath of the attack you see the families torn apart and the attack and brutality that clearly happened here. we were in the hospital today and there were grieving families coming and going and friends and relatives looking for loved ones and many unsure if they are even still alive. and there was a surge of the number of people giving blood as people come together after a brutal attack. and people want to do however they can to help the country heal. tragically people are still looking for loved ones. >> on the night of the attack we know she was there. we don't know where she is. it is the last hope, we'll call

on hospitals to plose give p us information. >> and people at the hospital were still not allowed in and that is partly for the reason, the 84 bodies that were killed in there were so mangled they were not yet recognized. and people waiting to know if they had any families and more coming out about the attacker himself and the connection to isis. although they have claimed responsibility and he was a shoulder of theirs. it doesn't appear he was directed by them. they crossed his phone records and found a link to omar diowa a bi. also from the city of nice and a major recruiter for al-qaeda in syria. in the past isis called for people to attack like this. and call them mowing machines in

the propaganda. >> he was raddicized from a disdpruntled man going through a diverse and to terrorist. that is the danger. he was not on the radar and he almost overnight seemed to have turned in a terrorist and that is a very, very hard person to stop and that's what people are learning. >> thank you, benjamin. >> friends and family of two americans killed in the attack are sharing their memories. they were on a family vacation when it happened. brady's school and family are trying to keep. >> we don't understand what happeneded and how to explain it to ourselves much less to the 11 or 12 years old. they will take care of the

you made with your airline credit card. hold on...you only got double miles on stuff you bought from that airline? let me show you something better. the capital one venture card.

with venture, you earn unlimited double miles on every purchase... not just...(dismissively) airline purchases. every purchase. everywhere. every day. no really! double miles on all of them! what's in your wallet?

>> donald trump introduce ped his vapproximate pick mike pence. they have differing views on issues important to conservative including trade and a dorgz rights and trump said he went with pence to unite the republican base. >> one of the big reasons is party unity. so many people have said party unity. >> for more we'll go back to

shannon. you attended a religious rally in cleveland. how were voters responding to the pence pick? >> reporter: just talking to the potential voterses in the event pence was not a make or break pick for them. we were in the event called the response. they were worshiping and praying for the candidates who hope to lead the country. the people we talked to didn't have a strong feeling, most of them didn't know who he was. conservative political activist said trump cannot rely on pence to win over a deeply religious crowd. >> he's a born again believer and a solid guy and probably a great pick p. he was not my pick. but i do think that donald trump will have to move it. the vp will not move the constitiency. he will have to do the right

thingses and i hope he will. recent polling shows a wide lead for donald trump. 66 percent said he's their choice. and 18 percent for hillary clinton and 16 percent not sure and to be sure, people who are interested in voting, it was not between donald and hillary. it was voting for trump or staying home. >> what about the controversy over the indiana religious freedom law. >> prominent religious leaders are bringing up now that pence is officially the vp pick. last year they passed a law to protect religious business owners who didn't want to take part in business and goods. there was a back p lash and a lot of criticism. and governor pence signed a modified bill. many feel he caved in on the

important issue and left the people still exposed and now that pence is back in the spotlight, a number of religious leaders will have a wait and see approach. they think when it is on the line pence didn't stand up in the way they hoped he would. >> shannon, thank you. and for more on this. a supporter of donald trump and ralph, good to see you. i am not sure you heard shannon saying evangelicals is not between trump and hillary but trump and staying home. how does mike pence help the ticket? >> i think it helps enormously trace. i think it was a source goffonering pick and a unfoying selection. and not that trumps inially needed it. i saw the poll that had him 66 among the white evangelicals.

there is a new pew research poll that had him at 78 to hillary 17. that's good as george bush did in 2004. they were already coming. but it adds to the ticket and underscores that trump's decision- making process led him to a man of deep christian faith and core conservative principles and a stellar unblemished record at the federal and state level. not everyone has agreed on mike pence on everything. but an 80 percent friend is not a 20 p percent. on his it is 99 percent. >> evangelical square that donald trump and mike pence differ on so many issues in the voting block. >> you want someone with a different set of of experience

and in pence's case, both as a broadcaster and as an opportunity and now as a congressman and governor, he's delivered firm ideas. he's voted for no child left behind. and the prescription benefit with george bush remember he run against john boehner as minority leader. and my own view as a friend of both p men, i think he will be an asset to donald trump and as an interpreter if you will, not a horse whisperer, but translate the core convictions of the grassroots to donald trump and to his senior advisors. >> it is not the vice-president

but mike pence said i am open to revisiting free-trade. is there a concern about that? maybe it lean-tos trump's way than pen's way? >> the president makes the final call. that's always the case, trace. but what you are seeing with the emerge and evolution of the vice-president beginning with walter mondale and jimmy carter and dick cheney established a way here. the vice-president especially someone who had experience on the hill and policy chops was mike pence will carry weight. the president will make the final call and he will be an advocate for conservatives. >> i want to get your take on the splash. can we show the video back to book. you go back to mitt romney's

announcement and it was just big p- time deal and today, it is subdued. and you you look toward the convention in the next 3 or 4 days, are you looking for more of a splash or showy. what are you looking for out of the convention this week? >> trace, i have to tell you, i heard the commentary over the last you know, 12- however many hours since it was announced and i guess less than that. and in the aftermath of the terror attacks in nice and the coup attempt in turkey and all of the instability and that is been in the world in the last 24 hours, i don't think it was appropriate to have a bap loan drop and over the top festive occasion. and i just don't know how you announce it matters as much as who the person was. when george bush announced his

vice-presidential running mate 16 years ago to the day. it was in front of a blue curtain in austin, texas with a couple of american flags. it didn't matter, you had someone with experience. mike pence has that experience. state and federal over 20 years and a solid conservative. >> performance over glitz. ralph reed, good to see you. >> full disclosure, we reached out to the clinton campaign to come on the newscast but they did not respond. 2016 has been anything but the usual political season. in fox news reporting, taking over the trump convention. bret baier locks behind the scenes and who will be there and how it will be run and how will it affect the election? >> donald trump is not who i would have been for, but the people have chosen and you like

it or not like it, but you have to abide by it. >> any effort to free the bound delegates has a chance to succeed? >> i hope not. we would have perpetrated a fraud on 32 million voters. >> don't miss this 8:00 p.m. p eastern time. and then airs again after justice with janine. >> and before they get to cleveland, they will be joining us on the fox report with an update on the epic road trip. >> donald trump officially chosing governor mike pence as running mate. what changed, next.

oh, taking some time off.

no, i'm scheduling time to go to the bank to get a mortgage. ugh, you're using a vacation day to go to the bank? i know, right? just go to lendingtree.com. get up to five loan offers to compare side by side for free. wow, that's great. wait, how did you get in my kitchen? oh, i followed a raccoon in through your doggie door. [chittering] [gasps] get a better mortgage on your schedule. not the bank's. lendingtree. when banks compete, you win. just think of him as a big cat. [chittering] with rabies.

>> today donald trump making a change by announcing governor mike pence at a hilton hotel instead of the trump tower. he included the update of the new hotel in washington. james rosen is live with us. more on trump and the business empire p. >> reporter: different times trump has said what he would do with a sprawling empire. he told them he would do whatever is appropriate. his knowledge would prevent him from being truly blind of what is happening. the real estate billionaire said if if i become president, my

company is peanuts. i havi vankan and eric and john to run. presidents and vice-presidents believe it or not are not bound by the same ethic statutes. they told us, that nothing would prevent donald trump from servings xhaner in chief and ceo. kenneth gross who served bob deal and michael bloomberg said turning over the emire at this time trump children would be a positive step. >> it doesn't absolve him of being concerned about conflicts of interest. it helps, but he needs to be conscious ofed holdings that he has and not only his assets, but his debt as well which is held by regulateded entitties in the

government. >> he could even draw a salary but not use the position as chief executive to benefit those companies. >> james, thank you. >> there is much more changing in the trump campaign than the edition of mike pence. this logo got ridicule on line. trump approved the logo and the campaign replaced it with a simpler logo. don't go anywhere. five live from the epic convention road trip is still ahead. you won't see these folks at the post office. they have businesses to run. they have passions to pursue. how do they avoid trips to the post office? stamps.com

is amazing on the bus. i have never eaten more healthy. >> a couple of years ago, greg gutfold was going to san diego and wanted recommendations and he likes the dirt hole-in-the-wall greasy spoon. and kimberly is a fine dining woman and gutfield likes the greasy spoons. how do you cross the barrier from here to cleveland? >> actually, weate in the agricultural fair and i had a ice cream cone and half a cheeseburger. nwanted to go back to the sausage. and then kimberly kissed the pig and i kissed the pig. >> i milked the goat. and in fact you go on the five facebook page you will see what
