>> you got it. 5:40, we gavel in. we take over our coverage today. harris: excellent. we'll be watching. stay right here. you will continue watching because jon scott is coming up on "happening now." hang out, 4:00 p.m. eastern, foxnews.com.

a post in donald trump's cabinet. >> and police ambush ped in dallas and baton rouge. how can we keep safe those who serve and protect the rest of us. >> and a crazed teen on a train attacks passengers with a axe and knife. it is all "happening now". but we begin the second hour with day two of the republican national convention in cleveland. i am jon scott. >> and i am melissa francis in for jenna lee. the speeches will highlight donald trump's success in business. heavy hitting republicans are on hand after a unconventional day one. trump breaking with tradition and appears on the first day of

the convention to introduce the key note speaker, his wife melania. >> my husband offers a new direction welcoming change, prosperity and greater cooperation among peoples and nations. donald intends to represent all of the people, not just some of the people. [applause] that includes christians, and jews and muslims and includes hispanics and african-american, and asians and the the poor and middle-class. >> peter doocey kicks off our coverage live from cleveland. what is the buzz p right now there, peter? >> reporter: the buzz is how melania key note was supposed to show the softer side of husband, donald trump. >> he's tough when he has to be,

but he's also kind and fair and caring. this kindness is not always noted, but it is there for all to see. that is one reason i fell in love with him to begin with. >> reporter: this morning, the trump team is responding to accusations of mraj iism. there is remarkable similarities and even though they appear to be ideptical in the paragrapes it is just a coincidence. >> i haven't thought about that. i think it reflected hear and her values and approach to life. and a way a speech like that is written, people bring in different ideas and the person who is delivering it tries to use what reflects them and their views and values and she showed

poise and intelligence and told her of history in a moving way and it was a fundmentally accurate sound to her and her approach to life. >> reporter: when 5:30 p.m. rollses around, the focus is the economy and making america work again former rivals chris christie and ben carson will week. and we'll hear from son don junior who is assisting the day-to-day operations. andative no trump who graduated from wharton business school and establishment wing of the party is set to nominate. house speaker paul ryan and mitch mcconnell and ten freshman u.s. senators will go for united

we stand. we'll see how much uniting and a show of support like that really does. back to you. >> we'll see. thank you for that report. >> so day one featured diverse line up of speakers, some going after president obama and others to hillary clinton. >> america agrees that america ought to lead the way. help is on the way. >> the question i hear time and time again, where is america's leadership? there is a void in the world. a deficit that cannot be filled by others. >> some spoke to the heart.

here is patty labella and daniel is editor for the wall street jaurnal. what stands out in your mind from yesterday's speakers? >> the high light was melania trump. she did give a warm and well received speech. it is unfortunate that is overshadowed by the plagerism charges. and all of those speakers kind of focusing on national security issues on benghazi and immigration issue. they stood out and effective base issues and in many ways, those speakers were speaking to the base of the republican party and the challenge now in the coming days and p for today, is to see if those speakers

including tren can broaden their appeal and speak more to the independent voters. this is it a last chance for donald trump to soften the edges a bit and reach out more beyond his base. and we'll see if the trump children do something as well as melania's speech, department do, which was offer more personal antidotes of who is donald trump the father and husband and writer. and just as a citizen, those are the things i am looking for. >> daniel, hold on, one of the things that excited the party base is the selection of trump's running mate mike pence. he is speaking at the american conservative meeting. >> my daughter charlotte. >> i am so graflt for chris'

introduction and great leadership in the nra. and i am a christian and conservative and republican in that order. my journey is an interesting one. i started out in the other party when i was a young person. i was a democratic youth party coordinator in indiana. kind of a community organizer if you will. but it was after i heard the voice and the ideals of our 40th president that i knew in my heart that my place was in the republican party. [applause] started our family and married the girl of my dreams and run

for office. like newt gingrich, it took me three times to get elected to washington d.c. we made it. it is a fascinating journey that many of you in the room were a part of and continue to be a part of and a journey that began for a speech in 1964 and candidacy of barry gold water. and newt gingrich republican revolution that took over the congress after decades of democratic control. i ran for congress before the republican revolution, and frankly sometimes i felt like i got elected after it was over. by the time i arrived in washington d.c., the first priority of the republican

president was no child left behin. and then found myself battling on the expansion of entitlementes and i was one of the first to fight against the wall street bail out on capitol hill. [applause] i watched as our party lost their way and in not surprisingly lost the majority in 2006. i had a privilege of being part of a renewed republican conference and part of a leadership that retired nancy pelosi as speaker of the house in 2010. [applause] and in 2012, it was back home again to indiana. i had the opportunity to step in as governor of the great state of indiana and followed on the heels of a great friend and

champion of conservative ideals and a great leader in our state mitch daniels. he put p our fiscal house in order. i knew if we made the right education reform and investmentes in the kind of government that hoosiers might expect we would go from good to great and we did. in the last four years, we passed the largest state tax cut in indiana's history and now home to the largest voucher program in the united states of america. [applause] unemployment in indiana was over eight percent when i became governor and below five percent today. hooser businesses have created 150,000 net new jobs and in our bicentennial year of my state more hoosiers are going to work

more than before in the state of indiana. that's what strong republican leadership gets you. and that's the kind of strong leadership that donald trump will bring to the white house. [applause] trust me when i say this. when we come together as a party and's people and reelect strong conservative majorities in the house and senate and elect this good man as 45th president of the united states. and i know in my heart of hearts, we'll make america great again at home and abroad. [applause] >> he's a builder. he's a fighter. he's a father and a patriot. i have to tell you, having had had time to spend with this good

man and his family, i know that donald trump will be a great the president of the united states of america because his heart beats with the heart of the american people. [applause] i honest thely believe be, i honestly believe in the collective wisdom of the american people and the capacity of the people of our nation to know who we need and who the right person is at the right time for america. it happened in 1980 when ronald reagan was chosen that we had a manlike our nominee this year although he had had achieved great heights in his own career never lost touch with every day americans. to be around our nominee as i had the privilege to be not on the campaign trail, but out among his associates and people

that he's employed for years and family i had had a sense of this man and his heart and hands on style of leadership. and for all of the world, he reminds me of ronald reagan. ronald reagan achieved great things in his life and career. a movie star and celebrity, a governor of the great state of california, but he never lost the common touch, did he? one of my most cherished speeches of ronald reagan was the farewell address in the oval office. he talked about being in a motorcade, and i can report to you at the acu i came over in my first trip in a motorcade today. i actually got out of the car in the alley and i saw all of the

cars and i turned to the security official and i said are they all with us? welcome to our world, dear. i will never forget those words and i will paraphrase them. in the oval office when ronald reagan talked about speeding by and seeing every day americans waving and how in his heart of heart after eight years it transformed our nation and world, ronald reagan spoke about how he wanted to just reach out and touch the people that were waving along the road side. that is where his heart is at. i submit to you today, having gotten to know the good man who is our nominee. donald trump may have achieved great heights in business and in the world of entertainment, but his heart is with every day americans and he will fight every day to strengthen this

nation. and bring america back. [applause] so the time has come, for us to come together. primaries are over. it was a big stage up there. with a lot of extraordinarily talented men and women. and i say to my fellow conservatives today, it is time for us to upon come together around this good man and reelecting republican majorities in the house and senate, this is no ordinary time in the life of our nation. the truth of the matter, the agenda of barak obama and hillary clinton has weakened america's place in the world and stifled our nation's economy and so we must decide here and now, that hillary clinton will never become president of the united states of america.

[applause] for the sake of our troops who deserve a commander in chief who will have their back. for the sake of hard working americans and businesses who deserve a president who will get washington d.c. off their back. and for the sake of a supreme court that will uphold the sanctity of life, our second amendment and our god- given liberties, we must elect donald trump as the 45th president of the united states of america. [applause] and we must be confident. with this i will close. we must be confident in the choice the american people will

make and have made. i got a chance to meet ronald reagan in 1988 when i was preparing to lose my first campaign for congress. [laughter] we went to the white house. you can probably goggle it on line and find a picture of someone looking alarmingly like my son sitting next to ronald reagan. we were waiting anxiously, karen and i in the east room with a short line of candidates and waiting for the photo-op with the president. they handed me a card about what to say. something about a bridge or road and something about indiana that we could put in a press release and i turned to that young lady over there, you know, this man is the reason i became

a republican and i just would like to say something from my heart and my wife as she always does, said, just tell him what is on your heart. and so i sat down in the blue room across from the president, for all of the world, i felt like i was talking to mount rushmore. i was a little nervous and i collected myself and the president asked as the cameras were clicking. he said mike, how is the campaign going? and i said, well, it is going fine but i have something i would like to say. he said well say it. i said mr. president, i would like to thank you for everything that you have done for this country. and everything you've done to encourage my jeoperation of americans to believe in this

country again. and for all of the world for the rest of my life i will believe in that moment that the 40th president of the united states of america blushed. and said, well, that's a very nice thing of you to say. [applause] like he'd never heard it before. and then a few minutes later i understood why he responded. this is what i want to leave you with today as we go in the next four months of the campaign. he walked in the east room and karen was there with a few other spouses, 30 of us. and apparently a few candidates had said what i said.

and he stood up to a make- shift podium and he said words i will never forget. he said you know, a couple of you thanked me for what i did for this country. he said i don't think i did anything for the country. i think the american people decided to right the ship and i was the captain they put on the bridge when they did it. [applause] [applause] >> what i saw there was extraordinary humility. what i saw there was an unshakable be faith in the capacity of the american people to achieve greatness and to astound the world. and what i saw there in the east room of the white house, i promise you, i hear it and i see

it in the man who i believe will be the next president of the united states. he loves this country. he believes in the american people. and their boundless potential. he is unintimidated by the world. but he is in awe of the people of this country and i know that i know that i know, if we will work every day between now and six months from tomorrow, that on that day, donald trump will raise his hand, become the 45th president of the united states of america and he and we will make america great again. thank you very much and god bless you and legality's -- let's get to work. >> indiana governor mike pence

speaking in front of the america yun. heidi political correspondent for usa today. and interesting to me, there is a lot of conservatives that are suspect, daniel, about p donald trump's true conservative values. clearly his running mate believes in it and making the case in front of the american conservative union. >> yeah, that is right, jon. what we saw was by far the best speech that anyone delivered at the consxrengz i don't understand why mike pence is not delivering that in prime time, he is be. that's why donald trump choice mike pence. he is a reagan style. mike pence talks in a soft assuring and comforting tone and

he understands how to use a microphone, and compare that to rudy guiliani, the traditional way politicians yelling up to the the rafters. mike pence is thoughtful and reassuring and reaganesque and that is the balance that donald trump sees and brings to the campaign. >> so is it helping mike pence's presence on donald trump's ticket. >> what we saw, it has the potential to help. mike pence can do more than just appeal to the base. because there are certainly a lot of swing voters, reagan democrats that are going to be receptive to the message that mike pence delivered. he has to be given a platform and the leash to go ahead and make that appeal.

i was surplied. a lot of the journalism up to now mike pence will be a narrowly appealing to the base. i think in this speech today, he alsoomplishes that as well. trying to unite the party in a time when let's be frank. yesterday was not great in the terms of the tensions we saw on the floor. but what better way to warm people up in the bit and share as he did some of the antidotes of reagan's humility and ability to touch people on a personal level which is what i think maybe the party needs right now as we go p forward. >> daniel, you said if trump and his team want to unite the party, they made big mistakes on day one? >> i think so. paul manafort is calling the

governor of ohio petullent. and newt gingrich said jeb bush and his family were childish. and ted cruz gave a interview in which he's still steaming over the fact he was not the nominee and feels that the media favored donald trump. you have are three former candidates who represent millions of supporters and the trump campaign should be reaching out to them to quiet them down or bring them inside of the tent. lbj told a story about firing edgar hoover. dew want him inside of the tent throwing rocks. the trump campaign should want these people inside or else it will be all about trump leading a disunified republican party. >> and john kasich is a popular

governor there in ohio and clearly a guy to want on your side if you pursue a state that republicans need to win if they need to win the presidency? >> ohio is one of those states republicans do not win unless they started out on ohio. manafort went after kasich. it is not only ohio. it is the colorado delegation that walked off of the floor yesterday. and to the extent that today, they can do some of that personal outreach, and instead of banishing those delegations which kind of that happened as well in the beginning. the ohio delegation was moved to the back of the floor. that is a petty slight and not necessary in a time when they are trying to project a image of unitty and make people feel like they are a part. especially the delegate up until

now, the trump campaign run against the so- called establishment and those people feel like they are a part of that establishment and i know from my own reporting that a number of them got together for a dinner to talk about how to handle the tone going forward. >> we'll let you go get back to covering the convention. hidey and daniel, thank you both. >> and so republican unity, that is the goal, but is it going to happen? our two guests tony and doug take a look at that coming up. ...clear for take off. see ya! when you're living with diabetes. steady is exciting. oh this is living baby! only glucerna has carbsteady, to help minimize blood sugar spikes. and try new glucerna hunger smart to help you feel full.

>> just a few hours away from them firing up the big event in cleveland day two of the republican upon convention gets underway 5:30 eastern time. protest are in progress the second day. groups plan to rally outside of the republican convention. first day demonstrations and no violence. the police chief said, so far, so good. jeff joins us live from cleveland, jeff? >> jon, i come to you from a political disneyland. this is how the delegates trod in and this is where the protestors will clash.

most of the time they kept them separated. we had protest from revolution communist. and if you get stuck tweep a hill you will get stoned. and the other thing, they are ready for a arrest. they have courts operating. they had three arrest. one guy on a previous warrant and two guys that climbed the flag pole in the rock and roll hall of fame to unfurl a banner. that is three arrests and we were ready for hundreds. so far, so good. i will leave you with this snow. you don't wantapraphy on tuesday when the guy is speaking

thursday. >> harbinger of things to come. they have plenty of room in the pokey. thank you. jeff. >> republicans hoping that the convention unites the party with the general election battle against the democrats. but that theme certainly signalled little cooperation with anti- trump delegates shooting for a roll call vote on the roll call. and there tonight is house speaker paul ryan and kevin mccarthy. and a political analyst and, doug shaun is a former bill clinton pollster and thank you for joining us. tony, you look at headlines that

come out of the convention and the way the stories are bent. a story that is negative sells more papers and attracts more viewers and the way our society does right now. what does it feel like there? is it divided? >> hardly not. it is feeling united and energetic. i have been to every republican convention in 1982. it is hardly organically energetic as cleveland. the media has a self fulfilling prophecy saying they thought it would be a brokered convention and they are exaggerating, it was a small and coordinated dissent from a small grouch delegates and that was over and now everyone is working toward

unification which is the purpose of the convention. >> tony is a happy-go-luc guy. is it as united as tony is feeling? >> well, i don't think it is. tony is a dear friend and i think an effective advideo kit. but he missed a couple of key issues. paul manafort criticizing the absent governor of ohio john kasich. you have newt gingrich attacking jeb bush. and you have of course, never trump people. and i think as we sit here today, the republicans do not really have the big at the present time they want to have. and that being said, i would agree with tony that there is not a feeling of bitterness that perhaps the media is suggesting and one larger point. the only thing that really matter system what donald trump says on thursday night.

that will to be the convention. >> tony, a lot of people thought those protesting trump and upset about it. and he's won fair and square and sort of agains to sound like sour grapes. that is one argument. dew feel like that is the case now? >> i think to a large degree it is. i am sure some had conservatives don't have principles that donald trump holds. one is the power of the individual. over 10 million republicans voted for donald trump, most of any primary candidate to be the nominee. i understand that after 17 candidates went through the process, there is some devisiveness and to doug's point. i don't agree we should take on governor kasich and bush. they are welcome to the party.

they have an opportunity to november to help the trump ticket. i will say in fairness, a lot of these fights are isolated and being blown out of porportion. there are not as many divisive experiences as people thought may happen. and the greatest uniteded mechanism is thought of hillary clinton as president of the united states. >> there is two ways to look at. it. politicians get together and before trashed each other and calling horrific names and how it would be the end of the country and come together and put their arms around each other and one endorses the other. it feels insincere. do they hate or don't? there are those who stand behind their beliefs and never happy.

everyone is not always happy with the candidate up on top. >> i upon think what the republicans want and need, melissa, is the insincerity that you described to manifest itself and donald trump to give a speech where he said the man of change. this is a change election he has one asset. hillary clinton. and hillary clinton as one, donald trump. trump can change that on thursday night and a unique opportunities he will not get again until the debates. he needs to be on the side of american people for change and find jobs and fight global terror. then and only then we'll get movement in the polls in his direction be.

>> they are keeping it interesting. we enjoy seeing you. >> and we have live coverage of the convention on fox news and across the social media channels including snap chat and behind the scenes of our coverage and down load the app and follow fox news on snap chat. >> on the meantime hillary clinton is campaigning in nevada. they look to sign up 3 million new voters and the former secretary of state making the case that donald trump would be too divisive in the white house. >> he accepts their support, but he appeals to are fears and the anxieties and yes, the anger and i was stunned when he was inciting violence at hiseral will -- rallies over the past

year. he has staked his political ideptity and his future as a presidential candidate on dividing us and that is dangerous. sheep is set to give a speech in an hour. >> authorities are searching for any ties between isis and the truck driver who plowed through the crowd and killed 84 people in the south of france. our next guest said we should worry if there was no communication between the killer and the terrorist group.

. . . . . . .

>> right now, the search for a connection between isis and the killer who mowed down hundreds of people with a 20 ton truck in nice, france. isis is claiming responsibility. but authorities have yet to find any ties between the truck driver and the terror group and

appears that he was recently radicalized. 84 people killed and hundreds injured when the tunisian born man mowed down hundreds of people. james, you say that if there was no communication between isis and the truck driver that worries you more than if there was a connection. >> it is more ominous. that means anyone, anywhere who is radicalized and inspireded by these ideas can commit deadly terrorism and it is harder to track these people down if there is not e-mail, phone and text and communication. no electronic communication or planning and isis and lone wolf terrorist. it makes it much more difficult to prevent from an intelligence

and law enforcement perspective. >> the french interior minister have yet to make connection other than isis expressing responsibility. >> they went through the internet search. and he accumulated images of the islamic state and charlie hebdo. but that is a far cry being involved. >> and in germany, a 17-year-old goes after people with a knife andaxe and winds up being shot dead by police. that sounds like the same kind of thing and not as horrifically effectively in the number of dead and wounded. but bears a lot of similarities. >> people have found a hand

drawn isis flag in the young man's home. but beyond that again, there is no tangible listenings between him and any terrorist organization. the political consequences of this in germany are going to be strong. angela merkel allowed anyone from syria and others fleeing violence and isis and problems in the region. they came to germany. it was a controversial decision especially after the mass sex attacks in collogue. i think there will be a back lash. >> it seems to be so easy to convert these people to follow an isis' prescription. the truck driver in nice, according to his relatives was eating pork and drinking alcohol

as recent he as a couple of weeks ago. >> he doesn't seem to be an observant muslim. he had anger problems. and he abused his wife and he had a short temper. and you know, unfortunately in situations like this, a radical interpretation of islam can be sort of a way for people to make sense of their lives. it is something that is difficult to deal with and a challenge to western society. >> in their own minds, it gives justification for venting in these angry and violent ways? >> yeah, you are not just a loser anymore. you are a hero if you claim great ideology that you are subscribing to. >> wow, there will be an awful

lot of second guessing and looking into the rearview mirror after the attacks, james kirchick, thank you. >> melania trump making a big slash in the republican convention. her prime time speech getting most of the attention. we learned that the dress she wore may have had special meaning. >> plus, new fallout from the attempted coup in turkey. >> the latest conkwepss to those linked to the failed uprising. . so guess what, i met them at the zoo. service that fits your schedule. that's another safelite advantage. ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪ i'm in charge of it all. business expenses, so i've been snapping photos of my receipts and keeping track of them in quickbooks. now i'm on top of my expenses, and my bees. best 68,000 employees ever.

>> reporter: hi, everyone, i'm martha maccallum in cleveland. ohio governor john kasich holding a series of events in cleveland but not at the site of

the convention. why is that? and new information from the trump campaign about what donald trump things about the reaction to his wife's speech. from the wife last night to the kids today. the trump children, all adults, as you know, will take the stage this evening. how their role in the campaign is defining so much of the strategy with their father. we'll see you at the top of the hour. now to the latest on the unrest in turkey. state media reporting the government has requested the resignation of 1300 university teenag deans including thousands of others. connor powell is live in the newsroom. connor, what a mess. >> reporter: turkish authorities have rounded up thousands of people they claim were part of

the coup against turkish president recep tayyip erdogan. erdogan has also ordered some 35,000 soldiers, teachers, clerics, police officers, judges, and other civil servants to be detained or outright fired. the turkish government has closed several media organizations that erdogan believes supported the coup. erdogan is also demanding the u.s. extradite fethullah gulen, a turkish cleric who used to be allied with erdogan but now is considered sort of the arch nemesis. erdogan and his supporters believe gulen was orchestrating this coup attempt. he actually lives in the united states. the white house has actually said the turkish government would have to provide some proof that he was behind this coup for there to be any real substantial talks of sending gulen back to turkey. today the obama administration called for turkey to stay the course of a democratic government and to sort of be very careful about how it

proceeds dealing with these supposed and suspected coup orchestraters. obama has said -- or accesecret of state john kerry has said they don't want to see the ending of the democratic movement that is beginning to emerge. melissa, the big concern going forward is thatt erdogan will ue this coup, a very real coup attempt, to further enhance his control over the government, which has a lot of enemies inside the country. >> tumultuous times. connor, thank you for that report. jon? so donald trump breaking with convention by appearing on the convention floor before his nomination. but his entrance music is sparking some controversy as well. why queen isn't happy.

time for our final 30. the band queen is criticizing donald trump for using "we are the champions" as his entrance song last night. did you hear it? queen tweets, "it was an unauthorized use at the republican convention against our wishes." might i point out, they're a british band. if you're going to make america great again, steal some music from an american band. >> there you go. melania trump choosing to wear a dress with special meaning for her speech last night. the designer hailing from a country that was once part of yugoslavia like trump's native slovenia. and republicans are going all out when it comes to the declaration. 125,000 balloons up there on the ceiling, and 1,000 pounds of confetti are hanging from the ceiling of the quicken loans arena, ready for the big night. >> a thousand pounds of confetti.

that could hurt. >> if it comes down all at once, that's for sure. >> well, that was a lot of fun. >> thanks for being here. and thanks for joining us. "the real story" starts now. thank you, jon and melissa. fox news alert, and the day that donald trump has been waiting for, the republican party just a few hours away now from officially naming him their nominee for president. good afternoon, everybody, i'm martha maccallum outside in beautiful cleveland, ohio today. a live look at the q arena which played host to a bit of a rocky night on the first night of the convention, some mixed reviews. some people thought it was a great start, others thought it was choppy and the pacing was a little off. whether or not that matters to voters, who knows? protesters outside making a little bit of a ruckus. and inside, making perhaps the last stand of the never trumpers, before the soon to be republican nominee emerged in a cloud of smoke, quite a moment,
