keep america safe is to have an elite military, all right? >> and i can promise you this, no matter who you are, donald trump will have your back. >> i would like to make something very clear, blue lives matter in america! >> the president must have the tools to deal with all threats to this country and must have the guts to put them into action, and donald trump is that leader. ♪ we are the champions, my friends ♪

♪ and we'll keep on fighting to the end ♪ ♪ we are the champions >> well, it is day two after night one, and here we are live once again in downtown cleveland. "we are the champions" by queen last night when donald trump appeared ala hitchcock style, a silhouette as he was there to introduce melania. >> wasn't hitchcock a profile? it was a cool silhouette. quick introduction. i thought it might turn into a speech but it wasn't. >> it wasn't. there he is right there. you can tell it's him. it kind of reminded me of the apprentice. or some reality show. then he comes out, introduces his wife, quick little intro. >> this is how he comes to the newsroom. this is very similar. >> well, you know what, we've

got complete coverage. we know that, you know, it was a -- three, four hours -- >> seven hours. it started at 4:30. the evening time. earlier in the day the anti-trump people were trying to make the stand. they didn't have the numbers. they were a little embarrassed. we're going to talk about that. we're going to play some of the highlights all morning long. without a doubt, the speaker everybody was looking for, melania trump, her husband donald said on this program yesterday he was going to show us, introduce her, and if you missed it, here's a little bit of it. >> my parents impressed on me the value that you work hard for what you want in life, that your work is your bond and you do what you say and keep your promise, that you treat people with respect. they taught and showed me values and morals in their daily lives. that is the lesson that i continue to pass along to our

son. the only limit to your achievements is the strength of your dreams and your willingness to work for them. donald intends to represent all the people, not just some of the people. that includes christians, jews, muslims, it includes hispanics, african-americans, and asians, and the poor and the middle class. there would be good times and hard times and unexpected turns. it would not be a trump contest without excitement and drama. but without it all my husband will remain focused on only one thing, this beautiful country that he loves so much. if i'm honored to serve as first

lady, i will use that wonderful privilege to try to help people in our country who need it the most. one of the many causes dear to my heart is helping children and women. you judge society by how it treats its citizens. >> i think she represents women very well. she's poised. she's polished. she represents the american dream. she teaches. she talks about teaching her son baron the same values that we all grew up with. here's a lady who's not from this country and she could become the first lady of the united states of america. if that's not the american dream, i don't know what it is. >> she knows five languages, this is just one of them. >> smart. >> she comes out. she reads this speech and she goes abroad and brings things up we would not know about donald trump, what kind of father he is. >> talks about it. >> talks about how he does not judge people by their religion, does not judge people by their background and how much money

they make and how patriotic that he is. there are some passages that are similar to michelle obama. we have to to go to bed at some point. having to wake up and everybody is talking about, she plaj ger rised some parts of the speech in 2008. you read them, they are very similar. i will say this, steve, it actually applies to her life. it talks about her parents and the values and the values she wants to put to her kids. i had a chance to talk to her off camera. we go to all "the apprentice" parties. >> everyone is saying, oh, it's so much like michelle obama's speech. the other headline is that the dress immediately sold out. it's called a margot. it's a beautiful option of the

modern bride. >> she modeled that which is a popular site for women. they deliver the stuff right to your door so you don't have to go shopping so a lot of women love them for it. >> you know what, she delivered for donald last night. we'd love to hear what you thought about her appearance last night. e-mail us friends @foxnews.com. >> if you look at the format of our show, it's been about national security and it's been about world security. what has happened to america's police in the world and what is happening at home with race relations. that's why mayor rude did i giuliani and the sheriff tag it. they were pretty passionate. >> here they are talking about making america safe >> ladies and gentlemen, i would like to make something very clear. blue lives matter in america!

so many of the actions of the occupy movement and black lives matter transcends people of protest and violates the code of conduct we rely on. i call it anarchy. >> and we say thank you to every police officer and law enforcement agent who's out tonight protecting us, black, white, latino of every race, every color, every creed, every sexual orientation. when they come to save your life, they don't ask if you are black or white, they just come to save you! what happened to there's no black america, there's no white america, there is just america! what happened to it? where did it go? >> that was a powerful speech. >> 7 1/2 years of sitting on our

couch, going on and saying, what is going on in our country. that all came out in the rude did i giuliani speech. he didn't need the big prompter. >> he's passionate about it. i love that line, when they come to your house, they don't care what the color of your skin is, your creed, your background, they just come. it's so true. >> i think it was perhaps the fieryist and perhaps the best speech rudy giuliani ever gave. >> i was watching marcus littrell. >> he's the lone survivor, navy s.e.a.l. he gets up on stage and he speaks. he's a navy s.e.a.l. in keeping with his personality, when the teleprompter goes down, he decides, forget this, guys, i'm going to talk from the heart. >> i'm so used to speaking from the heart when i have to read this it goes wrong so i'm just going to go. are you ready?

not only do the leaders have to step up and support us but the family and those of us in here, we're all family. we step up and back them up. not only that, we hold them accountable for every position and honor that they hold. the only way we survive this is together, not apart. in order for any life to matter, we all have to matter, you understand? >> understand. we should point out that lee carter actually ransom dials on some of his comments and they are all so high. we're going to have that in a couple of minutes. the most compassionate part said i'm not going to read this teleprompter which was right there. i'm going to speak from the heart. >> it didn't go down. it's a personality. that's not me. >> the prompter is the size of a small building, it's just huge compared to what we're dealing with on a daily basis. he'd just rather speak from the heart. i've seen him speak before. he's going to be on our show with governor perry in about an hour. every time you see marcus

littrell he is in pain every day. he has metal in his back. he has to do incredible amounts of rehab to function on a daily basis. it looks like he'd crush you by a look, he is in a lot of pain. you know what he wants to do, he wants to give more. >> he does, indeed. so he's going to be with us after a big night at the rnc on day one. now we shift to day two at the rnc, shifts back to making america work again. that's the theme. >> some of the biggest names in politics taking the stage joined by members of donald trump's inner circle. peter doocy is live inside the quickens loan arena with a preview. good morning, peter. >> reporter: good morning. donald trump is going to leave it up to a pair of formal rivals and his children that he is better equipped to serve the country. tonight's title is make america

work again. some of the headliners governor chris christie who said he's interested in being trump's attorney general. dr. ben carson who ran against trump and lost but endorsed him early. the ultimate fighting championship president dana white will be here. representative paul ryan. and then since the trump organization is a family business, we're going to hear from daughter tiffany and son donald jr. who teased his speech last night. >> i've learned a long time ago never to bet against my father. he understands these things. he has an innate ability. when he puts his mind on something, it's total focus. i've learned never to vote against him. the family business works awesome, or total disaster. it's one way or the other. we're very lucky it works incredibly well. when we vacation we still choose to vacation together.

>> so night one all about introducing voters to donald trump, the family man. night two all about enforcing the trump campaign's idea that he is a very successful real estate developer and money maker. back to you. >> all right. peter doocy live inside the q. meanwhile, we're outside today to talk about this. they all made major headline on the rnc's first night. how are voters responding to what they had to say like melania and lee carter is here hanging out in the greenroom with tucker, than and clayton. >> look at that. >> tucker had a premature lift there. >> all-star mom who lost her son in afghanistan has a message for america. >> we are at a crossroads unlike anything we have ever witnessed in our lifetime, and something must change now. >> former iraq and afghanistan

she believes he should resign from office. >> and she believes her son was likely killed because of these rules of engagement. what's so powerful about karen's message and jason beardsly's message, these aren't talking points. this is what they've lived under. a decimated military, emboldened president. what donald trump did last night was put vets front and center. we haven't seen anything like this for over a decade. maybe george w. bush in 2004 when the iraq war was at its height. donald trump is walking the walk. he puts them on the stage and they delivered personal accounts. >> the people are talking about what they did, what they saw when they served, talking about why their kids lost their lives and their spouse lost their lives and it's about personal engagement. bond is a lifelong democrat and has turned on her party. >> she's all in on america, all

surveillance video shows the baton rouge cop killer stalking police. the former marine gavin long knew exactly who he was targeting when he opened fire on the police officers with the ar-15 assassinating them. those are your headlines. steve, let's head back outside. >> thank you very much, heather. star studded first day at the republican national convention, but did the republican party's message resonate on the big stage? lee carter just put the convention speeches to the dial test. she's a pollster and joins us live here on the banks of lake erie. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> before we get started i think you're a little shocked at howell everybody did last night. >> i am completely shocked. we have not seen democrats and republicans align so much as they did last night. >> first sound bite, pat smith says that trump is everything hillary is not. >> donald trump is everything hillary clinton is not.

he is blunt, direct, strong. he speaks his mind and his heart, and when it comes to the threats posed by radical islamic terrorism, he will not hess is he tate to kill the terrorists who threaten american lives. >> very personal story. pat smith is the mother of sean smith who was killed in benghazi. >> now this is really, really emotional. independents and republicans both gave it a b plus. democrats a c minus. everybody thought it was raw, it was real, it was emotional. the democrats who opposed it felt that she might have been exploited in her grief but they really responded to her story. it was something that was really powerful, did reach people. >> here's rudy giuliani, also very emotional talking about the cops. >> we know the risk you're taking and we say thank you to every police officer and law

enforcement agent who's out tonight protecting us, black, white, latino of every race, every color, every creed, every sexual orientation. when they come to save your life, they don't ask if you're black or white, they just come to save you! >> off the charts and the democrats were actually higher than the republicans. >> that was what was so amazing. you saw the republicans, democrats gave it an a. ind pependents a b plus. rudy brought down the house. to see voter reactions like you did, it was really promising to me to see the parties come together and agree on something. we saw that over and over and over again last night. rudy did an amazing job. >> of course going in, everybody knew that it was going to be a big moment when melania trump, we finally heard her talk after she was introduced by her husband. how did she do?

watch the dial. >> donald intends to represent all the people, not just some of the people. that includes christians, and jews, and muslims, it includes hispanics and african-americans and asians and the poor and the middle class. >> not bad. >> not bad at all. independents and republicans gave her a b. democrats a d plus. we heard people thought she was authentic, she was real, she was genuine. some people said she was sweet. most people really did say i didn't expect that much and she delivered. she did do an amazing job last night. >> so did milwaukee county sheriff david clark. he was all fired up on our program yesterday against her r -- geraldo. he talked about how no single

person, or group is ever above the law. >> you see, donald trump understands that what can make our nation safe again is a tree commitment to a system of justice in which no government official, not even those who have bought their ways through the market halls, no elected official, even hillary clinton, and no group of people despite the fervor with which they press forward their grievances can claim privilege above the law. it cannot happen in the united states. >> the yellow line, yellow line the independents, they were right up there. obviously the law and order message resonating. >> it resonates with republicans, independents. even democrats gave it a c. if we think back through this whole process, when is the last time we saw democrats give anything republicans said more than a c? last night we saw them going up.

they responded neutrally to parts of it. i think this is a phenomenal first night for the republican party. >> marcus littrell did phenomenal. >> great to see you. >> same here. when ben carson was starting out as a doctor candy used to bring him dinner at 2:00 in the morning. this morning they're both cooking with friends. they're bringing us breakfast live from cleveland. good morning to you, carson family. one of the most popular names mentioned last night wasn't even in the arena. >> a vote for hillary is putting all of our children's lives at risk. >> barack obama and hillary clinton brought us isis and brought down benghazi. >> and that was just one of the attacks on hillary clinton. tucker carlson is live with his reaction to the first night here in cleveland. good morning, tucker. hey, searching for a great used car?

after deciding not to attend this week's republican national convention former house speaker newt gingrich calls jeb bush a bad loser. said jeb, i'm a great loser. i do it all the time. like what i'm best at. >> and that is a lot of the theme this week is what about all those people that lost to donald trump? they lost. some of them got over it like governor perry and governor huckabee. others are not close to getting over it like jeb bush and ted cruz perhaps. >> look who's joining us. tucker carlton joining us along the banks of lake erie.

there is the rock and roll hall of fame. you've been painting the town, haven't you? >> there is a lot to see in cleveland as i proved last night. >> beautiful city. >> let's talk a little bit about opening night. the highlight for you? >> giuliani. here is one of the most famous men in the world giving his personal guarantee of donald trump's good character. i mean, he just went all in. you see a lot of people endorsed trump and feel like they have to. rudy said, he's a goodman, i've known him 30 years. i promise you. >> i think what they're referring to is the fact he said, listen, donald trump does a lot of things and gives away a lot of money to a lot of people he does not want anyone to know. he's like, i'm breaking the trust. i'm telling everybody what this guy is like. i've known him for 30 years. >> especially since trump's character has been at the center of this. i felt the moist poignant moment of all is when he quoted barack obama's 2004 speech at the boston convention where obama

said this is not about white america. black america. we're one country, one people. it's only been 12 years and it seems like a completely different time, a different country. >> sure. >> that's not the country we live in today. >> the atmospherics are one of the things rudy addressed last night. listen to this. >> we pray for our police officers in dallas and baton rouge and their families and we say thank you to the cleveland police department for protecting us. we know the risk you're taking and we say thank you to every police officer and law enforcement agent who's out tonight protecting us, black, white, latino of every race, every color, every creed, every sexual orientation. when they come to save your

life, they don't ask if you are black or white, they just come to save you! >> i thought that was the best line last night. >> unbelievable. i asked somebody who flew down on the plane with him. they said he was still writing it on the plane. it sounded like him. >> yeah. >> he's such a forceful, articulate orator. i covered him as mayor. that's what he thinks all the time. >> you can tell he was speaking from the heart. >> tucker, do you think if donald trump's going to be successful he's got to be an active surrogate over the next three months? >> giuliani? absolutely. he says things on the couch and on the chair but he hasn't been out at different sites and rallies. >> it's clear that he's decided, again, that he's just absolutely all in. he has no reservations at this point. after what he said last night, there's no reason for him not to be one of the most active surrogates. certainly one of the most capable surrogates. >> sure. >> he means it entirely. you can tell when someone's speaking, there's no shame, no half measure.

he's just there. >> he's also italian using his hands a lot. >> i'm not italian and i use my hands. >> proud new yorker. >> there was another theme last night, hillary clinton. >> yes. >> most of the people went after her. let's take a look at that and get your reaction. >> a vote for hillary is putting all of our children's lives at risk. >> barack obama and hillary clinton brought us isis and brought down benghazi. i shudder to think how many times our flags will through at half mass if hillary clinton is in the oval office. >> hillary clinton has failed to stop the expansion of terrorism. her policies in libya, afghanistan, iraq and syria have created more safe havens for terrorism. >> under barack obama we have no coherent strategy to protect our citizens and under hillary

clinton it will be more of the zblam and now hillary clinton is promising more of the same, open borders, executive amnesty and the surge of syrian refugees. >> over and over obama and hillary apologized for america and allowed jihadists to spread like wild fire. we cannot afford hillary in the white house again. >> benghazi was about opportunities. opportunities we defied when we defy theed standdown orders and opportunities squandered when hillary failed to protect her people on the ground. >> i blame hillary clinton personally for the death of my son, personally. >> there you have about 1:30 of sound bites you're not going to hear next week at the wells fargo arena in philadelphia. >> i know i'm the only person who thinks this. i didn't need to hear that. >> you pay attention.

>> i think the most powerful case against hillary is by hillary clinton herself. if you watch next week's convention and you still want to vote for hillary clinton, you're a bitter ender. i wanted to hear why trump is the only guy in the race who actually cares about the middle class. hillary clinton is self-discredited. >> some of the women we're talking about, the destruction that hillary clinton will bring to their children. >> yes. >> i felt that resonated with me as a mother because that resonates. >> maybe i'm too far out. i wouldn't vote for hillary clinton but i feel like nobody i've ever met wants to vote for hillary clinton. democrats on the streets. ambassador to belgium, they don't want to vote for her. >> there's a little bit of enthusiasm. tucker, thank you very much. >> thanks. >> how many pairs of pants do you have? >> just one. >> let's mark a little x here. see if you come with a little x.

>> where's heather? >> she's going to be doing the news in a bit. >> i was just taking attendance. >> another lady spoke last night. she felt the tragic effects of president obama's immigration policies. felt them firsthand. >> my only child was also killed by an illegal immigrant. >> her only child. that gold star mom is here to explain how donald trump is turning her from a democrat to a republican coming up next. >> great job.

man. the kind of man you would want for a son-in-law. he was on his way to work on his motorcycle to the 911 dispatch center and as he drove down the street about two miles from the house an illegal alien without a license, without registration, without insurance drove up the street and turned in front of him and hit him so hard that it threw him into a wall right there on the sidewalk and he died instantly. >> this guatemalan driving was here illegally and he was not drunk driving for the first time, was he? >> no. he was right under the driving limit that day but he had two prior duis and received probation each time. >> and had already been deported once for felonies, came back into america. >> yeah. >> duis twice. probation, probation. killed your son and gets 35 days in jail? >> it was nine months, five years probation on a misdemeanor with gross negligence. >> so he's out now? >> well, it took us a year and a

half to get him deported. we worked hard on that. but i have a feeling he's back because his family is here. >> you were invited to washington to tell your story in 2013. you testified. you think, wow, the world knows. nothing's happened. nobody picked up the story. >> no. i felt like super woman, and then i walk out and there was nothing, nobody. nothing's changed. constantly, i meet new victims. >> you said last night that donald trump listened to you. you said he's, quote, your hero and your life saver. why? >> yes, he is. a week prior to mr. trump announcing his candidacy i couldn't take the pain anymore. it was too much. i had no financial help, i had no mental health help, couldn't get counseling. >> single mom? >> i had an incredible fiancee. it was too much. i planned on committing suicide. >> you wanted to kill yourself? >> yes. i couldn't take it.

hillary clinton has one child, i have one child. this resonates with us. what's yours message for hillary clinton? >> hillary clinton needs to start worrying about americans first. all i hear her talk about is what she will do for illegals, what she will do for refugees. we need help here. >> you had millions watch you yesterday. donald trump picked up the phone, called you, invited you to speak at the rnc. what was your reaction then? how do you feel now? >> well, i'm moved. i almost fainted. i'm incredibly grateful to mr. trump who is my hero and life saver. in the end i didn't commit suicide. i heard him announce his candidacy and heard him talk about immigration. i'm grateful to you guys to be here and share this story and not sweep it under the rug. >> so great for your son, you brought his name front and center. >> yes. >> to honor him. >> he's with you today. >> he's with me.

ben carson and his beautiful wife kandi is joining us. >> good morning. >> you're speaking tonight. you're on a woman's panel, right can? >> right. we're talking about what women want. >> we want to eat. >> they want spinach. >> what is -- what is the meal you're about to make for us, guys? >> well, when you're campaigning you're gaining weight, because you're eating fast food. coconut oil is something we just discovered. when trying to find different ways of losing weight, coconut oil is maizing. >> what do you like about it? >> well, coconut oil itself, it will lower cholesterol. the bad cholesterol and increase the good cholesterol. also it's absorbed and metabolized quickly. >> who's the doctor? >> paid for by the coconut oil lobby -- >> we don't have stock in the coconut oil, but we are thinking

about it. >> what is this called? >> just coconut oil spinach. really quick. >> turn it on. >> this is what i would do, dr. carson. it's called the carson coconut oil and spinach breakfast meal. >> exactly. >> you can buy them already diced. if you're in a hurry, this is quick and easy. >> but this is my part, i hold the pan. >> i know how grueling the medical school can be and the long hours. i understand you'd visit him at the hospital at 2:00 in the morning. >> and bring him a meal. >> every man wants a woman who will cook for him. >> my recipe calls for the frozen because a lot of times we don't have time for that kind -- so you take a whole pound of it. >> when you were making him dinner and you'd take it to him at 2:00 in the morning at the med school, would it have to be something that would hold all day because invariably he'd start to eat it and then he'd be

called in for a little while. >> well, we lived right across the street. >> oh. >> and it would still be warm. >> did you bring -- >> exactly. >> really only like three or four ingredients. got the coconut oil, spinach, onions and salt. >> did you have any idea that he'd going on to be the presidential candidate? >> no, i knew i wouldn't have much time for him. he's saving lives so it's okay. now he goes and speaks to people -- >> i tell her i was going to become a neurosurgeon and she wouldn't see me much and she said is that a promise? >> real quick, have you written your speech for tonight yet? >> the basic outline is there. it's going to be a terrific speech. >> you're going to kill it. you always do. >> we'll be there. we'll watch it. >> all right. >> if you'd like the recipe we'll have it on foxandfriends.com. >> this is the plain way, but you can add the other spices.

>> if you can pass security, you can come by and have some. >> yeah. >> one of stars last night, senator cotton will be here. he fights in wars, goes to ivy league schools, serves in congress and the senate. next he's with you. i'm mary ellen, and i quit smoking with chantix. i have smoked for 30 years and by taking chantix, i was able to quit in 3 months and that was amazing. along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. it absolutely reduced my urge to smoke. some people had changes in behavior,

thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. some had seizures while taking chantix. if you have any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. tell your doctor about any history of mental health problems, which could get worse or of seizures. don't take chantix if you've had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. if you have these, sp chantix and call your doctor right away as some can be life-threatening. tell your doctor if you have heart or blood vessel problems, or develop new or worse symptoms. get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. use caution when driving or operating machinery. most common side-affect is nausea. i can't believe i did it. i quit smoking. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you.

pray. >> islamic extremist terrorism, you know who you are and we're coming to get you! >> we do not need a reckless president who believes she is above the law. crooked hillary clinton, leave this race now. >> the race will be hard fought all the way to november. there will be good times and hard times and unexpected turns. it will not be without excitement and drama. [ cheers and applause ] ♪

wow, it is so cool out here at the huntington convention center. we're located on the outside because steve forgot the keys. >> we'd be inside but we couldn't get in the building. >> believe me we were in there yesterday during the thunderstorm. it's such a beautiful morning. 72 degrees right here in cleveland. and -- >> fahrenheit, right? >> yes, fahrenheit. and severe clear. today is day two. man, it was a show. one. >> it really was. donald trump showed up as you saw there with the smoke and he came out in the silhouette. introduced his wife. melania spoke last night. we want to play you a clip of what she had to say and then we'll talk about it. >> my parents impressed on me the values that you work hard for what you want in life. that your work is your bond and you do what you say and keep your promise.

that you treat people with respect. they taught and showed me values and more of in their daily life. that is the lesson that i continue to pass along to our son. the only limit to your achievements is the strength of your dreams and your willingness to work for them. donald intends to represent all the people, not just some of the people. that includes jews and muslims and it includes hispanics and african-americans and asians and the poor and the middle class. there will be good times and hard times, and unexpected turns. it would not be a campaign without excitement and drama. but throughout it all, my husband will remain focused on only one thing.

this beautiful country that he loves so much. [ applause ] if i'm honored to serve as first lady, i will use that wonderful privilege to try to help people in our country who need it the most. one of the many causes dear to my heart is helping children and women. you judge society by how it treats its citizens. >> there you've got melania trump introduced by her husband as queen sang "we are the champions." she said she wrote her own speech. some said it's way too close to michelle obama. >> it is similar. >> it is similar in certain spots, and she wrote it herself and the campaign said she speaks four languages, essentially they

want to recast her as the next jackie kennedy. >> she is poised and she recognized the vets and had bob dole stand up. she talked about her mother who impressed on her the love of fashion and her father the love of travel. it didn't look like it was scripted, after the speech, donald kissed her on the cheek and then she reached in and kissed him for another cheek. >> you broke down that kiss like john madden breaks down football plays. >> i think we have it. we have it on tape. can we watch it? >> for more on the kiss -- >> there you go. >> okay. let's see if it happens again. >> it's at the end. all right, at the -- that was before i think she took the stage. or when she first came out. at the end she did. >> let's call the arena's kiss cam people to see if they -- joining us right now, we have senator tom cotton, a republican from the great state of arkansas. and this is -- good morning to you, senator. >> good morning. >> good morning. great to be on with you all.

>> it's great to have you as well. listen, as we join you there at the "q" center we have a fox news alert. you know that terrible train attack yesterday with the ax in germany, it's just been announced that apparently isis is now claiming responsibility for the attack. your response, sir? >> well, i have seen the islamic state has claimed responsibility for the train attack in germany and for the truck attack last week in france. this is part of their mode of operating. they encourage their followers not to travel to syria, but rather to stay in their home countries and attack their fellow citizens with whatever means possible. this is a little bit different than what we saw in al qaeda 15 years ago that focused on spectacular attacks. >> right. >> so while the deaths or casualties number in the hundreds not the thousands it means they're likely to be more

common. that's one reason we can't sit on defense in the war on terror. we have to hit them harder and hit them faster. >> senator, everyone was looking forward to your speech and you did extremely well last night. in my humble opinion i was in the arena at the time. unlike the previous challenges with the previous eight years no one acknowledges that what is a terror -- that this is a terror attack. in orlando they want to blame guns. in night, they said it was a crazy guy. they were studying the orlando attack and this guy screamed allahu akbar had a knife and an ax and was an illegal immigrant from afghanistan. people are trying to soft pedal the reality of it. why do you see reality and so many others aren't? >> well, all of these attacks are terrorist attacks by radical islamic jihadis. doesn't matter if they fly planes in the buildings or take a knife or an ax on a plane, they're inspired by groups like

the islamic state or al qaeda. frankly i don't see much of a distinction between those two. first, the victims are just as dead and second, it's -- we didn't see many inspired attacks two years ago before the islamic state rose to power. you make a good point too. it's a reminder of just how dangerous the decision was last year in europe to let in hundreds of thousands of unvetted migrants from the middle east and it's a reminder of how we have to enforce our borders to make sure who is coming here and do not pose a risk to the american people. >> here's a little from sheriff clarke and rudy giuliani, thinking of america first and security. let's l

when they come to save your life, they don't ask if you are black or white. they just come to save you. what happened to there's no black america, there's no white america, there is just america! what happened to it? [ cheers and applause ] where did it go? >> senator, what did you think of rudy's comments? pretty powerful. >> and the sheriff. >> yeah. rudy gave a great speech. quite a stem winder and the

republican party backs the blue. we appreciate and support our law enforcement officers. i think it's important any time that's a use of force by the police we don't jump to conclusions. we let the investigation occur, we get the facts. we don't fan the flames of racial tensions too. many political leaders do that today. what we need to do especially in the wake of two assassinations of police officers is support the law enforcement officers as they do the important job of keeping us safe on our streets. >> right. i think senator, one of the things -- people who watch this week and next week will be struck by the two different approaches to politics in america right now. we are seeing with the republicans -- what their goal is. you know, it is the law and order candidacy. donald trump made that very clear last week. and hillary clinton, if you like what she's done in the last 20 years in american politics you have a clear choice. the business man or the life long politician. >> well, there's no one in american politics today that

embodies and symbolizes the failed status quo of stale liberal ideas of the last 40 years than hillary clinton. so you're hearing a very different message from the republican party this week. it is a message of law and order that we're going to defend our safety on our streets and we'll defend our national security abroad. >> yeah. you believe firmly that donald trump is going to win. i know you said in the past we have been leading from behind, but you've said that help is on the way. >> yeah. after eight years of democratic and obama budgets our military is woefully underfunded. we are having to borrow from training aircraft to make sure our planes fighting islamic states are able to stay in the skies. our troops are barely getting the training they need before they go overseas which means we're robbing our investments in the future troops and that has to stop. in the trump/pence administration, our troops know that help is on the way. >> you went to the ivy league school and you go into the

military and you go into the senate and the congress and you win. you're the future of the party in many respects. to the governor kasiches of the world, to the jeb bushes and the ted cruz, perhaps who don't seem to be supporting trump, what's your message? >> that's very kind. i have had many express their support to me. i'm grateful to be working for arkansas and working for america. i'm glad to have a little baby at home and another one on the way at christmas. that's my focus, the work in the senate and on my family. thank you. >> what about the others that aren't on board with donald trump? >> i think we'll come out of this convention not just unified but growing our party as well. it's not enough to win the national election with republican or conservative votes. we have to appeal to independents, moderates and democrats as well. democrats have to do that too though. i think we'll be in better

position to do that this fall, to win the white house and to win the senate and to win the house. >> well, it's going to be an exciting fall especially for your family at home. congratulations on the new baby. >> nice speech last night, good job. >> thank you. all right, meanwhile, it's 12 minutes after the top of the hour here in cleveland. he promised a convention like no other and he's already delivering. but donald trump is back in new york city this morning. so what's in store for today? john roberts is live outside of trump tower. john, you're next. >> he looks good today. they made a last ditch effort and failed. is the never trump movement finally dead or is it gone for good? karl rove and joe trippi is here. jeanine pirro is here. and sheriff clarke is here to make sure they don't get out of line. listen to him. and he's got a hat. they brought this on themselves.

cleveland, but the line of thunderstorms cancelled our flights. but if you're trump with a private plane you can fly out there. they arrived back at midnight and at the same time his campaign is pushing back that portions of melania trump's speech may have been lifted from michelle obama's convention speech back in 2008. jason miller said quote, in writing her beautiful speech, melania's team of writers took notes on her life's inspirations and in some instances included fragments that reflected her own thinking. in her speech last night, melania trump sought to rewrite the narrative pushed mostly by democrats that her husband is a divisive figure. listen to this. >> donald wants parity for all americans. that includes jews and muslims and it includes hispanics and african-americans and asians and the poor and the middle class.

>> reporter: donald trump clearly very pleased with his wife's speech last night, but that theme about donald trump being divisive not so much according to people who know him was picked up by former new york city rudy giuliani. who revealed that in the 30 years that he has known donald trump and particularly when he was mayor, donald trump would come forward anonymously to help in times of crisis. here's giuliani. >> i am telling you this because i am sick and tired of the defamation of donald trump by the media and by the clinton campaign! i am sick and tired of it. this is a good man. >> reporter: trump's children tiffany and donald jr. will bes. we understand that donald trump may be making an appearance at 9:00 via satellite. a little surprise in store for you. >> we'll all be watching. john roberts live on fifth

>> delegates have been elected to this convention. >> what was going on -- by the way, here's karl rove. here's joe trippi. you see them in every election cycle. they actually like each other, but disagree on everything. which makes for great television. what was going on on the floor? >> we used to see this kind of drama up until the 1950s. the battle over the temporary chairman or the rules or the credentials committee report. this was the last effort to change the rules. not only for this convention, but really more focused on the next convention. let's be honest about this. most of the substantive rules changes were designed to limit the effect of open primaries. you have -- if you have bonuses if your state held a closed primary. that's what they're trying to do is affect the next convention, not this convention. >> you know what it did do, karl and joe, i was walking through at the time and a lot of to utah delegation said i'm not going

with trump. we were disrespected, that was the problem. they felt so angry. >> and iowa, colorado. a lot of the delegations felt that way. look, karl's right. last time i remember seeing something like this was 1980 democratic convention. and there were a lot of bad feelings and actually it did last into the general election and led to reagan being elected president. or at least a lot of democrats feel that way. it's too early to tell whether this schism is going to last that long. i thought actually the convention itself for the remainder of the night actually did what needed to be done right now which is try to focus people on clinton, focus the whole party on -- >> so you think if their objective was to focus on clinton, security and safety -- >> a way to pull the party together. now they have to broaden out. >> look the battle was technical. and it's not going to lead --

1980 was over the conscience clause. ted kennedy wants every delegate to vote their conscience. and there will be bruised feelings, the rhetoric doesn't help. but by day two or three this is in the distance. >> i wouldn't be surprised if it sparks up again. you can't tell. >> one thing you have to say this. if ted cruz is behind this and he wasn't. you have to wonder if he'll keep his speaking spot. if cruz somehow is behind it, donald trump doesn't mind changing formats. >> here's a dirty little secret. every speech is vetted by the candidate's staff. so every word in ted cruz's speech is going to have to be approved by the high command -- >> which makes you wonder how melania's speech made it to the floor last night. >> if it was, good job on your google. because you were able to figure out and say 2008 barack obama's wife, the first lady of the united states, said something similar. but it matched melania's story.

that's what she is as a parent. that's what they were to her. >> that's why it's so bad. just a change of words, change of order could have solved that problem. she had a home run speech. now -- and remember the nature of the speech. remember the nature of the speech. she is not -- english was not her first language. she is clearly -- >> by the way, your luggage finally arrived. thank you, american airlines. >> yeah. doocy gets more air time. >> we get a big bonus. >> where did my cameraman go? to the trains. i get disrespected on my own show. >> tomorrow we'll be doing this segment from down in the chicken farm below us. >> chicken farm? >> real quick, i have to toss to steve and ainsley, but what do you expect tonight? >> jobs and economy. i think again the family is going to be a big presence. >> they've got to turn this, broaden it out.

it's all good in the beginning stages but you won't get there by beating the daylights out of hillary clinton. >> well -- >> you have to broaden out to other areas. >> i disagree. because the message last night we have to have change. and the same message with regard to the economy. >> i won't get these guys to listen to you. so follow me, chris. i'm going to toss over to steve and ainsley. thank you. >> steve and ainsley, take it away. >> all right. brian and joe and karl as the 7:28 pulse in cleveland. meanwhile, from glammed up hats and key chains, the swag at rnc is guaranteed to make you proud to be an american. anna kooiman is going to take us on a tour of cleveland's freedom marketplace where you can get patriotic items like that plaque right there. >> very nice. then donald trump delivers on the convention like no other. judge jeanine and geraldo rivera to react. come on, you're next on "fox & friends" and freight trains.

over on the democratic side, bernie sanders gave a 23 minute speech at a conference last week after he endorsed hillary clinton but he didn't mention her by name. people had pretty good idea who he was meaning when he said money bags with pant suit. >> joining us live here at our temporary world headquarters here on the banks of lake erie, we have geraldo and judge jeanine. >> yeah. beautiful scene. >> what was your number one highlight from last night? >> there were two. one melania trump killed it and i think she endeared what herself to the american people. and rudy giuliani proved that he

is a real prosecutor. he tried his case, he presented it, he made his argument, and he won. >> geraldo? >> i have a different take. i think that sheriff clarke really i thought blue -- by saying blue lives matter he defuses the black lives matter radicalism and all the rest of it and really puts the focus where it should be on the slain officers. so i think -- i also think -- i went to bed thinking melania trump had the best speech since jackie kennedy. really terrific. then of course the controversy after -- >> about plagiarism. >> about the possible plagiarism. i wonder if that doesn't deflate. i went to bed thinking she made her husband the president. >> paul manafort was on abc this morning and he was asked about the two speeches, they're very similar. he said those were her words. those are her thoughts, her views, her words. >> think about it, how difficult is it to say my word is my bond, my family taught me that, you

know, to do whatever you say you're going to do. i mean, those are things that we all say. >> that's exactly what i thought. she's saying the american values that all american feel. >> instilled in her by her parents. >> i'm not saying it doesn't apply, but i'm saying it's exactly alike. listen. >> my parents impressed on me the values that you work hard for what you want in life. that your work is your bond, and you what you say and keep your promise. that you'll treat people with respect. they taught and showed me values and more of in their daily life. that is the lesson that i continue to pass along to our son and we need to pass those lessons on to the many generations to follow. because we want our children in

this nation to know that the only limit to your achievement is the strength of your dreams and your willingness to work for them. >> well, that was her presentation, and as i said, the eloquence is unmatched. it's fabulous. then you play michelle obama from 2008 and the words, the sin tax, the rhythm and some key lines are exactly the same. >> but when you say the rhythm, are you saying she was copying michelle obama's rhythm? you know, i know her. that's how she speaks. >> how do you explain it then, judge? >> how do i explain it? >> i think it's a tragedy that -- >> that she was talking to the heart of america, to what we believe in. who we are. nobody owns that, my word is my bond. nobody owns -- >> the answer -- they were not the same? >> personally, i think that that's what she said, what she believes. it may be similar to what other people have said. no question, i have said it.

>> all right. you're covering the protests all week. >> and the protests were more muted than i thought, smaller than i thought on both sides. and i wonder if the murders of the eight officers isn't weighing heavily on the demonstrators because like the black lives matter demonstration, there were no black people there. they were all from over overland college. >> nick cannon was out there. >> mariah carey's ex-husband. all right. that's fine. >> i'll add to that. the black lives matter movement spirit is there, because i watched megyn kelly last night. >> that was terrific. >> it was terrific, but it also shows how far apart in the line of thinking -- >> malik shabazz. the founder of -- >> and how far we have to come along to the point of view. >> megyn showed how radical he is and -- malik is. >> talk about the things that he said. >> and really damaging things that he said.

hurt his own cause i think. >> i agree with you on that. judge jeanine, you hit the streets with some bikers for trump. >> yes, i did. bikers for trump. i was with chris cox and you know what i was most impressed with -- >> who's chris cox? >> chris cox is a big supporter of the veterans and of donald trump. he's got some -- he's fighting for the monument protection act. he doesn't want sequestration to affect -- >> look at you. >> yeah, that's me on the bike. >> hopped up there. >> very comfortable in leather. >> you know, what i love about this group, they got up and they said, look, we don't want any trouble. if anyone gives you trouble, you know, we call the police. you know, we're here to be peaceful. we're here to support donald trump. i mean, i was impressed with those guys. they are veterans, ex-veterans, ex-cops. all great guys. >> we have a sound bite from chris cox and the judge.

take a listen. >> so we're out here to represent the veterans, the backbone of this biker community. and we're here to have a celebration for donald trump. >> a celebration for donald trump. there are some protests but for the most part, cleveland is a gigantic celebration for donald trump. >> the cops did a great -- they're doing a great job. i saw cops from michigan. i saw california highway patrol here. wisconsin is here. texas is here. >> new york. >> new york is here. >> do you know what's great about it? they had all of the small vehicles, the k-9s from capital police. every vehicle had the name of the dog, as though, you know like sheena is in this car. like you look in and see the dogs. look, law enforcement is united. america is united. there's some people who are just malcontents. they're always going to be mall conte contents. thing is a demonstration for how great we are. >> after day one. >> may not be as smooth the rest of the week. >> but historically, most of the arrests have happened on the last day.

>> the end of the convention. >> well, let's keep our fingers crossed. >> but they say it will be 100 degrees today or feel like 100 degrees. >> yeah. hard to get arrested. >> hard to be very angry. >> judge and geraldo, thank you. >> thank you, guys. coming up this flag is the definition of made in america. anna kooiman takes us to cleveland's freedom marketplace for the patriotic story that will make you even prouder. >> oh. ♪ you can help prevent blindness in undernourished children across the globe by getting your vitamins at walgreens. walgreens. at the corner of happy and healthy. right now with card, select centrum vitamins are buy one, get one half off.

>> the future female leaders, why do you connect with conservative ideals? >> i want to be on my own, independent and responsible. >> take a walk through history of places like the great republic with artifacts like these. what are we looking at? >> this has wood from the original white house. there's only 18 of them. >> but you guys have to check out the favorite store front, flags of valor. it's veteran owned, operated and veteran made. >> i got injured when i got deployed, i got back and had spinal surgery. there was a flag that i liked, a wooden american flag. but unfortunately it wasn't made in the united states so kind of upset me as an american and so i figured why not launch a company. we believe in three distinct ideas, made in america still matters, wedge our veterans are an untapped resource and we believe in giving back. >> are you ready for their website to crash? make their website crash.

come on, make america work again. >> that's the theme, make america work again. let's crash their website. it's flagsofvalor.com. how cool is this? >> very cool. will you going to take it back to new york? >> yeah. maybe i'll put it in the "fox & friends" workplace. >> in the green room. >> by all accounts, you can expense this. >> that's right. >> it's a prop. >> absolutely. >> a heavy prop. this one is $299. every penny goes to a veteran owned, veteran operated company. >> thank you for his service and thank you for that piece. coming up, our next guest is a life long democrat but this morning he's backing donald trump and he's here to explain why. in fact, he's in our greenroom ready to go. that'll be next. pregnancy is an exciting time,

good morning to you. welcome back from cleveland inside the convention center. some quick headlines to bring you right now. jimmy snuka and other retired wrestlers are suing the wwe. they claim they suffered neurological injuries during their careers. they're also accusing wwe chairman vince mcmahon of intentionally classifying them as independent contractors instead of employees so the wwe wouldn't be response bld under workers protection laws. the guns n' roses band was

stopped at the border of canada. he told his story to 50,000 fans in toronto. listen. >> we weren't exactly arrested. but we were detained. they were very nice. they were very nice. they were very understanding. you know? it did happen, because you forget your [ bleep ] gun. >> well, they say that the gun didn't belong to any of the band members and it's not clear who owns that gun. so those are your headlines. let's head outside to steve. steve? >> all right, heather, thanks very much. donald trump's immigration policy has been a focus of his campaign. as you know. >> we're going to have strong borders, folks. we'll have strong borders. we're going to have the wall. and we're going to let people come into our country that should come into our country and they're going come into our country legally. they're going to come in legally. we want them to come in. but they're going to come into our country legally. >> and that is the reason why

one life long democrat right here is now voting republican for the very first time. former ohio democratic party official and founder of the ohio jobs and justice pac, which tracks the sanctuary cities. so what is it? you have been watching donald trump for the last year. what has been resonating with you about donald trump's message? >> donald trump is -- his message is resonating with the average citizen and that's why he's so popular. >> and you in particular like his immigration stance. >> his immigration policy is far superior to that of hillary clinton's policy which is a disaster. >> you say you would like trump to sign a no amnesty pledge and support an attrition by enforcement policy. what does that mean? >> that's correct. what that means is interior and border enforcement. under president obama he's gutted our immigration system and my hope is donald trump will enforce the law. >> steve, how many elections

have you voted in? in the last 35 years? >> i've voted for the last 30 years, yes. >> always democrat? >> yes. >> why -- this was the first time you have ever voted in a republican primary. why was it you said, you know, the democratic party isn't my party anymore? >> yes. i didn't leave the democratic party, the democratic party left me. and i couldn't vote for bernie sanders who's a socialist, i could not vote for hillary clinton who is basically a socialist as well. >> when people say, donald trump will never build the wall. you know, he'll -- if he becomes president the stuff he's saying is never going to happen. a lot of people like you who really want it to happen. >> i think he will build the wall and i think the wall really represents donald trump's focus on national security. i think he's going to do things in addition to building the wall. but it's something simple that people can understand and want

done. actually a wall was supposed to be build or fencing if you'd have it, a barrier was supposed to be build after 9/11. it's just never been done. it was passed by congress, it wasn't funded and it's about time it's done. >> we're a long way from the borders sitting here in cleveland, ohio, but how does the lax policy impact the people of ohio? >> well, steve, actually every state is a border state now. because a lot of the people coming into the country illegally, approximately 40% are coming legally. but they're overstaying their visas. >> i got you. >> and we have ports as well. >> a big one right behind us. >> yes. as a matter of fact, it's very much affecting ohio in the terms of i'm doing an investigation on a double vehicular homicide in which brandy thorne, 22-year-old woman was killed as well as her unborn child by a person in the country illegally who somehow

got a driver's license. it was suspended. he was a three-time dui convicted -- dui convicted three times, he remained in the united states and killed this woman and unborn child and worked here illegally. >> of course. steve salvi voting republican, voting for donald trump. thank you. ainsley and brian, what's coming up? >> it's good to see some people are changing their views. coming up, the convention looks like wwe with donald trump in charge. >> and laura ingraham is going to join us with more. >> young lady, how are you doing? ♪

what happened to there's no black america, there's no white america, there is just america! what happened to it? >> i have been trying to get the project done or even started, and he does not give up. if you want someone to fight for you and your country, i can assure you he's the guy. >> i had a chance to actually spend time with mr. trump and i know he understands what it's going to take to fix this. and the only way we're going to keep america safe is to have an elite military, all right? [ cheers and applause ] i can promise you this, no matter who you are, donald trump will have your back. >> i would like to make

something very clear. blue lives matter in america! >> the president must have the tools to deal with all threats to this country. and must have the guts to put them into action and donald trump is that leader. [ cheers and applause ] ♪ ♪ ♪ living in america ♪ >> and the eyes of america's politics are on cleveland, ohio, where currently it is 73 degrees. it is a beautiful tuesday to

start day two of the rnc. live here on fnc. >> we are living in america and joining us this morning is laura ingraham, the founder and editor-in-chief of lifezette. welcome to cleveland. >> good to see you, guys. i brought the weather. it was a 3 1/2 hour out of d.c. yesterday. >> you're lucky to get out. >> drive is always the answer. >> important, day three and four are more important than day one. what do you think about day one getting off on the right foot? >> i think it sets the stage that most americans today 65% think we're going in the wrong direction, they're not happy with the status quo. i think throughout the night whether it's families whose who have suffered from illegal immigration, crime from illegal immigration, the gold star mom is of course very heart felt, rudy giuliani and david clarke, i think it set the stage for now we need change. this is the way that things are now. it doesn't have to be this way. so i thought that part of the

narrative was it -- it was so gloomy. the press is like, look at the polls. people are -- people want change. >> we're in the ditch. >> this is not what people want. you set the stage. i think the american people deserve to hear that truth from the people who have been victimized by bad policies. >> interesting too because there are two vets who spoke last night. congressman ryan zinke, a navy s.e.a.l. and who's a politician, and senator tom cotton. you see the military aspect. i got your back and i can still be a politician. >> i think cotton did a fantastic job. i think in the end, the choice in this election is going to come down to like the status quo is this. we have porous borders, underperforming economy. is this okay with you? if it's okay with you, you're going to vote for hillary clinton. she won't change the policies. if you want change and change policies, vote for trump. that's a simple question. >> all the speakers of course are all important. they started at 4:30.

>> and then we're up at 4:30 too. >> a little after 10:00, melania took the stage. listen to what she said and then we'll talk about it. >> my parents impressed on me the values that you work hard for what you want in life. that your work is your bond and you do what you say and you keep your promise. that you treat people with respect. they taught and showed me values and morals in their daily life. that is a lesson that i continue to pass along to our son. the only limit to your achievements is the strength of your dreams and your willingness to work for them. donald intends to represent all the people, not just some of the people. that includes preachers, jews

and muslims and includes hispanics and african-americans and asians and the poor and the middle class. there would be good times and hard times. and unexpected turns. it would not be a campaign without the excitement and the drama. but throughout it all, my husband will remain focused on only one thing. this beautiful country that he loves so much. [ applause ] if i'm honored to serve as first lady, i will use that wonderful privilege to try to help people in our country who need it the most. one of the many causes dear to my heart is helping children and women. you judge society by how it treats its citizens. >> so the speech was a hit. i mean, she did a great job and then, you know a little bit

after that somebody started thinking, wait, this kind of sounds familiar. >> i have to say when i heard the word, the bond -- that sounded familiar. i remember michelle obama sounded similar. some of the language was fairly generic, the word is a bond thing that came from michelle's speech. i assume melania got help with the speech. people collaborate on the speeches. that was unfortunate and shouldn't have happened but i have to say, anyone who has tried to speak a foreign language and read a teleprompter and deliver an address, it is really hard. and i thought her speech was heart felt. the snark and the nastiness coming from the left last night, you know, the trump people -- >> you expected that. >> yeah, but think about it. if this were an illegal immigrant who getting up and talking about dreamer -- i'm a dreamer. i graduated number three in my class. i came to this country, it wouldn't have mattered if it was to be or not to be plagiarized, taken from another speech.

well, we have to look at the core of the message. this is really uplifting and hopeful. i thought her speech was great. i think they should put her out more on television. >> absolutely. >> she should be on morning shows today. i say get melania out. >> call us, melania. >> come on my radio. >> but we have laura ingraham in this block. i liked the delivery. >> they have to dress her up a little. >> right. i would have like to have seen a 90 second brief history of what it was like, because i met her parents. i went two of the finales. they go, they like a family. even show she's an international supermodel, she's like a normal person. i could see her parents drilling that into her. >> she did talk hear mom teaching her about fashion and her dad teaching her about travel. >> she is really funny. she's a -- you know, a lovely person, but she's a regular person who happens to be married to donald trump. and i think for -- when you

looked at the reaction online before the whole lifting the passages conversation, regular folks are commenting, wow, that's kind of surprising. someone is that kind of beautiful and amazing visually, for some people it can be off putting but i think she seemed genuine. i don't care about the snark. i thought she did a great job. >> okay. so she came into this country legally, she signed the guest book. there were a couple of parents who did make speeches last night whose children were killed by illegals while in this country. we have a little bit of what they had to say as well. listen to this. >> my son's life was stolen at the hands of an illegal alien. a vote for hillary is putting all of our children's lives at risk. >> my best friend, my rock, my son dominic. my only child was also killed by an illegal immigrant. i call them illegal aliens. >> one minute i'm hearing my

son's voice, be right home, old man. i'm right around the corner. next minute, gunshots and he is dead. we learned that the killer was an illegal alien gangbanger from mexico. >> these parents put a human face -- >> heart breaking. >> -- on illegal immigration. when that's problem with it. >> the reason i thought this night was such a success, those are stories that you don't hear about. if you're a working person, maybe you work two jobs, read the headlines in the newspaper every day. tune in for a few minutes on television. unless you're watching fox, you're really not hearing these stories. it goes way beyond those poignant anecdotes. this is something that happens every day in the country. someone is victimized by bad government immigration policy. and this humanized it. these truths need to be said. they can't be hidden or put in the closet somewhere. those are real stories. >> but let me ask you something. if you were seeing single digit

hispanic support, many how they -- somehow they're being misinterpreted as anti-hispanic, but how to do you get the parents to matter and not anti-hispanic? >> i think you will see events with the hispanic americans entrepreneurs, people who came into this country legally. native born, who are doing amazing work in the business community. fi fill an tlopiccally and in churches. this is the truths that people don't want to speak about. you hear the good stuff, you know, the leftists tell that narrative day in and day out. but regular people have a different experience. >> dominic's mom was on with us. she lost her only child. preventable. it makes her upset. >> great to see you guys. >> go and run lifezette. donald trump had a huge entrance. the soon to be republican nominee stunning the crowd at

the rnc. there he is. >> and day two of the convention kicks off, some of the biggest names in politics are slamming the obama administration for failing to put americans back to work. >> john roberts is live outside of trump tower where he is once again inside that glitzy building. he cannot get in. >> isn't he called the great john roberts? >> well, that's only in the breaks. he wants it tradition on camera. >> hey, john. >> reporter: they do allow us to go in to get coffee and use the bathroom. no, it's open to the public. so anyone is allowed in the hallowed halls. donald and melania trump got back late last night, but he is up early today. he is working ofton acceptance speech on thursday night and he's got the national campaign thing to start running on friday. when he starts a lot of campaign events. at the same time, this morning the trump campaign is pushing back against the accusations that portions of melania's

speech was lifted from michelle obama's speech in 2008. listen to paul manafort moments ago on the cbs program. >> i want to explain to you, there was nothing that she did in that speech that she thought was anybody's words but herself. they were fragments of words. she spoke in front of 35 million people yesterday, she knew what she was doing. >> reporter: the theme for tonight's night at the convention is make america work again. among the trump family members who are appearing tiffany trump, the daughter he had with marla maples is giving a speech and donald trump jr. who runs a lot of donald trump's businesses. he will be accompanied tonight by ben carson, chris christie and paul ryan and at 5:30 is when they call the roll of states for voting for the nomination. donald trump will be placed into nomination, paul ryan will be placed into nomination and we're hearing that donald trump will

address the convention some time around 9:00 via satellite from trump tower. >> that'll be cool too. john roberts, thank you. meanwhile, coming up, the primetime speakers all made major headlines on the rnc's first night. but how are voters responding? lee carter is here with the off the chart dials from overnight. >> it's getting so crowded in there. >> oh, look, marcus luttrell. >> and rick perry. >> and lou holtz. >> oh, he coached at my university. i can't wait to see him. like always the internet had a lot to say about last night's events and clayton morris is following it all from cleveland. right, clayton? >> that's right. and i'm over here on the floor of course at quicken loans arhea where the dust has settled on the reaches, but the real conversation is online. we'll have that whole reaction for you when we come back to the 2016 republican national convention in cleveland. al is t

all right. action packed kickoff to the republican national convention. man, all recognizable names and on social media, did they get offen the right foot? a step in the right or the wrong direction? >> you know who we should ask about that? "fox and friends weekend" co-host clayton morris has been following social media of course. >> yesterday, we were asking about what is the official hash tag from the event. it's now #rnc in cle. yesterday there were a couple of competing hash tags. if you're watching and following that hash tag you would have seen that rudy giuliani blew the roof off the place last night and he was the one that everyone was talking about first in the evening. watch this moment. >> there's no black america, that's no white america, there is just america! >> and then of course the social media reaction to that came out strong. senator frank nicely writing this, rudy making a nice case

for himself as homeland security or attorney general. and call me harry said does rudy giuliani think he's at monday night raw? he had the pro wrestling appeal, like he was going to smash a can off on the head of stone cold steve austin. and then, i was waiting for rudy to drop the mike. oh, well, rnc in cleveland, i love politics. that was the first big moment of the night. and then the headline act, melania trump. everyone was talking about her. wanted to see how she'd come ouou out. she impressed. brought people to their feet, applauding. she had to do say about her husband. listen. >> i'm so proud of your choice for president of united states. my husband donald j. trump. >> but of course as laura ingraham was talking about some of the snark coming from the

left. you can probably expect it, but rich solly said, i'm sure the left mock her accent and i'm sure "saturday night live" will have a field day with her, but melania trump stole the night. but then after the speech, things started to get a little interesting. brian, couldn't anyone have just googled the speech that michelle obama gave in 2008 to make sure there wasn't any copycat information in there? that's what jared hill did. this tweet went viral. his tweet started it all. we had over 10,000 retweets of him saying correction, melania stole a whole paragraph from michelle obama's speech and there were all kinds of paragraphs around words and comparisons and videos popping up comparing michelle obama's speech in 2008 next to melania trump. so all in all, a fun night on social media. we'll have much more of that from quicken loans arena. guys, back to you. >> all right. he's over at the "q." thank you very much. the campaign said, look, those were all her words. >> by the way, go to the top of the youtube right now. obama and deval patrick had the

same speech in 2006 and 2008. it was one of the most emotional moments of the night came from the lone survivor, marcus luttrell. he and former presidential candidate, rick perry are live in the greenroom. with lou holtz. what arthritis pain? what bad wrist? advil makes pain a distant memory nothing works faster stronger or longer than advil it's the world's #1 choice what pain? advil.

good morning. welcome back to cleveland. some quick headlines to bring you, starting with a fox news alert. isis now taking responsibility for an attack on board a train in germany. a young afghan refugee armed with an ax and a knife yelling allahu akbar and slashing passengers last night. three people were hurt before police shot and killed the

teenager. and the surveillance pictures show the baton rouge cop killer stalking them before the deadly rampage. the former marine, gavin long knew exactly what he was targeting when he opened fire. those are your headlines. see you back here shortly. let's head back outside to ainsley. >> all right, good deal, thanks. well, from sheriff clarke to melania trump it was a star steaded first day at the republican national convention. how did they do on the big stage? lee carter put the convention speeches to the test and she's a partner at maslansky & partners. good to be here in cleveland with you. you heard pat smith last night. she's one of the moms who lost her sons in benghazi and during that speech she said she personally blames hillary clinton. personally blames her for her son's death. she also talked about why she was voting for donald trump. let's listen to that and then get the dial test. >> donald trump is everything hillary clinton is not. he is blunt, direct and strong.

he speaks his mind and his heart. and when it comes to the threat posed by radical islamic radical terrorism, he will not hesitate to kill the terrorists who threaten american lives. >> and so you can see there independents and republicans really, really did like her message. they gave her a b-plus. democrats not as much. they were along the lines of a c-minus. even though she was criticizing hillary clinton. everybody liked her message. it was touching. it was poignant. it was real. it was authentic. the one thing that democrats did say though is that they felt like maybe they're exploiting her grief. on the other hand, people thought it was a good opportunity for her to fight. >> one theme that police officers and donald trump, they love all. doesn't matter the color of your skin, your religion, your race. melania is talking about that. let's listen to this sound bite. look at the dials here.

>> donald intends to represent all the people, not just some of the people. that includes preachers and jews and muslims. it includes hispanics and african-americans and asians and the poor and the middle class. >> independents liked it. >> they sure did. independents and republicans liked her message last night. they gave it a "b." democrats a b plus. the whole thing, there were parts that democrats were as high as republicans and independents and people really said that they -- that she was genuine. that she was authentic. that she was smarter than they expected her to be. that she was really -- there was something about her that really connected with people and showed a different side of donald trump and made people give him a second thought. she did an excellent job and it showed in the dial scores. >> right. a lot of people are talking about how about hillary clinton thinks she's above the law after

that e-mail scandal. well, david clarke was talking about that no one is above the law. watch this. >> you see, donald trump understands that what can make our nation safe again is a recommitment to the system of justice in which no government official, not even those who have fout their way to the marble and granite halls in washington, no private citizen, no elected official, even hillary clinton, and no people despite the fervor with which they press forward their grievances can claim privilege above the law. it cannot happen in the united states. >> off the charts, right? >> even the democrats gave it a "c." but republicans and independents gave it an "a." they loved the law and order message, but really this was a message about fairness. that's what people want to see restored back into our country. >> definitely a strong speech.

thanks, lee. >> great job. coming up, it was one of best moments of the night. >> i'm so used to speaking from the heart when i have to read this it goes wrong. so i'm going to go. you ready? >> so are you ready? the lone survivor, former navy s.e.a.l., marcus luttrell is here, along with former presidential candidate rick perry. think fixing your windshield is a big hassle? not with safelite. this family needed their windshield replaced, but they're daughters heart was set on going to the zoo. so we said if you need safelite to come to the zoo we'll come to the zoo! only safelite can fix your windshield anywhere in the us. with our exclusive mobileglassshops. and our one of a kind trueseal technology, for a reliable bond.

it was a powerful crowd. of seen a lot of standing ovations in my life before. it went on and on. and then the emotion that came out of that crowd i thought, you know, zeroing in on some of the people in the audience, and there was a lot of tears in their eyes because people felt the emotion that marcus was exuding about what he had been through and what the next generation has to stand up and do and where we are as a country and how important this election is. >> of course you introduced him, governor. to the folks who missed it, because you did a beautiful job of sewing it up. it all started with the tour. >> well, it was -- i tell people i said some people will say you know, it was just -- whatever. but truly it was the grace of god that put us in san diego. the end of july/first of august in 2006. and it was a saturday. and they walked in and said,

hey, does anyone want to give a vip tour and people are like, go to hell and we're resting and marcus said. that's what start it back how ever many years -- eight years now. he went off for one more deployment. people don't realize after red wing he was deployed one more time to iraq with his brother morgan and his twin brother who is still -- he was on the team 5. anyway, he showed up on the -- at the guard shack at the governor's mansion the following summer. and said -- he said for me to come by if i was here. and so we have been kind of -- what do you used to say the old crazy man in the attic? >> he was struggling a little bit then. >> i had gotten out and a lady invited me to dinner. once i got back -- i got hurt again. so i -- once i got back, i showed up over there. like he said. i didn't leave. [ laughter ] for three years. three years, they hid me in

there and i recovered. the greatest part about it is that he was running the state and lady perry -- she's a nurse. so i mean, she actually tended to my wounds and then my surgeries. looked out for me. then he'd go to work at the end of the day and then he'd -- he put me -- he was a father figure to me all those years. i sat and watched and listened, all the heads of state, i just sat and watched and he put me on the path. i was a full-time frog man. and he gave me guidance. and i never looked back. it was one of the deals where i just had one person looking out for me, that's all i ever needed. so we have been close ever since. >> marcus, your speech was incredible last night. you also -- you mentioned last night that the war is here. it's here in america. let's listen to that and then we'll talk to you about it. >> the next generation, this is for you. your wars here. you don't have to go searching for it.

your people are afraid. i stand among you, walking, i was allowed to walk with giants, all right? now we're looking for the next generation of giants. who among you will love something more than yourself? who among you are going to step up and take the fight to the enemy because it's here. >> such a powerful message. initially you were endorsing this man right here for president of the united states and now you're endorsing trump. why? >> well, he's like a father to me. i know what's behind all of the rhetoric and what everybody says. i mean, he's one of the greatest men i know, i don't say that lightly. so when he sat down and said he was running for president and asked everybody in the family, well, we said our piece and we back him up. that kind of deal. this was our country. like we were talking about the election process with all of the people running for it, man, that's a competition. the last man standing was mr. trump. so i mean we have to have the president. right? i -- we got a chance to meet him

and in fact to spend a day with him. kind of peek behind that curtain and see what's really going on and you hear everything in the media and i didn't know mr. trump. for instance, i have known him my whole life and when -- the miss america pageants and people are calling him a racist, i thought that would have been out a long time ago. he loves his family, he's successful. you need the deals to push the country in the right direction. so obviously i'll back him up. >> and that's what you said yesterday. governor, he attacked you personally and he attacked marco rubio personally. he wants to win. that's the way he does it. he attacked ben carson but this is it, we're in a competition. you put that behind you. what's the message to jeb bush and others who won't do it? >> i couldn't articulate it any better than you just said. >> that was pretty good. >> that's what the individuals need to think about.

yeah, i got my feelings hurt. i got offended. i can split hairs here about all of these different issues but at the end of the day it's simple. donald trump, hillary clinton, supreme court appointment. it ought to be easy for anyone who cares about the traditional conservative direction that this country has gone most of its life and that supreme court is going to make decisions for the next 40 years or that individual may have the potential of affecting this country for the next 40 years. this isn't about the next four years, but about the next 40. >> i mean, -- >> if i was competing for a job or in my community and i didn't get the position, i'm not going to stand down and not back that guy up. that doesn't make any sense. you have to look past that. because it's bigger than one individual i would imagine. especially for the presidency. and not everybody likes each other. i mean, let's be serious. americans by nature are that way. they hold a grudge. >> i bet you worked for some on

the people teem that you didn't like. >> that's right. >> you have to look past all that. we're in the shadows and in the craziness -- you're not supposed to be liked. you get elected to the leadership position. but just get in there and push past all this. that's what an adult does. >> all right. marcus, thank you so much for serving our country. >> we have to bring him back. we have to bring you back. you'll be here for a few days. >> thank you, governor. >> thank you. all right. straight ahead, he's a college football coaching legend, he was hanging out with these guys. i'm talking about lou holtz. he wants to teach democrats a thing or two. he's supporting donald trump. why? because bobby knight is? i don't think so.

good morning. welcome back to cleveland. it's time for some quick headlines. life overseas returning to normal in nice, france, just days after a terrorist killed 84 people, celebrating bastille day. new pictures coming into the fox news from the promenade. it's open for the first time since the truck attack. the area became a shrine for the victims including three americans. flowers and other mementoes are piling up on the walkway. they're in a memorial in a nearby seaside park. a biker drives off the road and then shuts off a -- sets off a chain reaction crash. the unbelievable moments all caught on camera. take a look.

beer. >> we let brian in and this is what he did. ♪ >> i always knew pete hegseth was a bright guy. i always knew he was a patriotic guy. and i also know he can write a great book "in the arena." and he's a genius because he's combined the things i like most in life -- reading books, writing books and drinking beer. heys, guy, how is it going? is everyone having a great time? >> having a wonderful time. >> how did you get in? >> my name was on the list. >> i always knew you were bright, but i didn't know you were a genius. combining books and beer. >> you can't beat that. people came for the beer and then they saw there was a book. that's really what it comes down to. it's all marketing. >> are you here for pete or the beer? >> i'll let her answer. >> i think it's wonderful. i think it's wonderful. >> clayton morris. so great for you to show up for our friend. i mean, that to me is loyalty. showing up for pete hegseth, for

his book signing. >> he wrote a book? pete -- >> pete hegseth. >> i met him in the greenroom at fox a couple of years ago. >> right. we heard there was catering. >> absolutely. absolutely. that's cool. >> books and beer. we do that all the time in minnesota. i don't know. brian, come hang with us. i had -- >> yeah. >> like cheese and crackers. >> books and beer, a very attractive way to market yourself. another way he's winning and moving forward. look at all the people that showed up. >> combining the books and beer, ed ahsan couldn't come up with that. >> right. >> well, i'm a college student, so i'm after that. >> you're not going to help with book sales at all. >> no, i'll resell this.

my college bookstore. >> can i be honest about something? i'm a little jealous of him. i mean, the basketball playing, ivy league graduation, the service to the country and now he's invading our turf of broadcasting. >> he waltz in with his good look, i'm pete hegseth. >> i'm resentful. >> are you here to be on camera or or here for pete? >> if i was to be on camera i would have worn pants. >> can you make me feel better about myself and point out something that pete does poorly? >> sometimes his hair shoots straight up in little curls. and it's awkward. >> i have always told my stylist he doesn't need that much gel. i've tried to help him out, you know, with beauty tips here and there. >> overall, he gets a style tip from you? >> oh, absolutely. i think if you look at my wardrobe today you'd understand

why. >> right. >> but actually, pete is so impressive. athlete at princeton. served this country. no, he's unbelievable. he's wears it more lightly than anybody else. if i had pete's resume you'd be peeling my grapes and feeding them to me. >> easy on my ego. >> hilarious. here's the problem, pete. you've got to sell the book. >> well, that's right. >> don't give them away. >> brian, there was literally nothing in the package about the book. >> it's great book in all seriousness. you built it off of teddy roosevelt. it's an important book, but if you have to learn to give to the country, that's what you wanted to get across. >> that's right. we need citizens and patriots in the 21st century. that's what we're talking about at the convention. we have a country to fight for.

thank you guys for coming. >> of course. >> get the book, in all seriousness. he's a college football legend who knows a lot about winning. maybe that's why he's ditching the democrats for donald trump. the great lou holtz is here live to explain why. but first -- >> let's find out what is coming up. hey, guys! >> they had a good old time. >> having a lot of fun on the roof. >> night one is in the book, how did team donald trump do? we have a great lineup. >> how did melania do? we'll talk about that coming up. >> newt gingrich. krauthammer, karl rove, sheriff clarke. tonight's theme is make america work again. what to expect. >> see how that goes over. see you at the top of the hour. see you then guys. honey, did you call the insurance company?

he is a college football coaching legend. happened to coach at my university when i was there. and a former democrat who is endorsing donald trump. so as a leader and a mentor to all of us, including athletes, what presidential qualities does lou holtz see in donald trump? >> joining us right now is the coach himself. great to see you. >> always a pleasure to be here. >> especially in person. first off, what convinced you that trump was the right guy? he has no experience. >> well, when he got the nomination, but what happened is, you know, i used to be a democrat. but the democratic party basically left me. but i think about -- i think the country needs more than anything is a leader, and a leader has a vision, a plan how he's going to get there. having a vision, do you like the vision he has? he wants this country to grow. he wants it to be great. i remember this country years ago. it's not the same country i was raised in. >> in what way?

>> in a lot of different respects. i was born during the depression, my father went to the third grade. i was born in the cellar. we had one room for my sister, my parents and a bathroom without a sink, a shower, no welfare, no safety net. >> no handouts. >> no. here's what i learned. i was born in this country and i was willing to get an education and be held accountable for the choices i made. my parents said we'll take care of you when you're young, you take care of us when we're old. go back to watergate. i remember a couple of attorney generals resigned because president nixon wanted to do something they thought was illegal and they refused to do it. how does it compare to the way we run this country today? >> sure. >> attorney generals -- >> that's what i'm talking about. >> lou, when you walk the streets of cleveland, people know you're behind trump, what do they tell you about why they like him? >> number one, he's not politically correct. i think political correctness, i grew up being smaller and weaker

and everybody picked on me, made fun of me, but you know what? you learn to handle adversity. you learn to handle it. and nobody can make you unhappy because something of they say. why listen to somebody who doesn't like you affect you. and also, because he's an outsider. the number one thing you need in people in politics is trust. in a marriage can i trust you? i don't believe they trust the politicians in washington because they say they're going to do one thing, and they don't. so you have to have trust. >> all right. all right. >> the second thing is he wants to be great. ever been to his golf courses? ever been to his hotel? they are first class and the last thing -- >> coach, coach, we have a quick time-out. can you stick around after the timeout? >> i'll stick around after the show if you want. >> all right. >> not saying no to that. she spent summer binge-watching. soon, she'll be binge-studying. get back to great.
