company" and how the stock market seems to keep going up, despite the turmoil. 9:00 a.m. to noon. "varney and company." on the fox network. "the five is next." kimberly guilfoyle, this is the five, and this is cleveland. today, republican delegates are about to officially nominate donald trump for president. i hope they don't start with, i have a dream. how speaker paul ryan will lead the roll call within the hour. this, after the first night focused on national security, but the plajercism obscured. speaking with force, clarity and

clearly, cups of strong coffee. he spoke the truth. >> we must not be afraid to define our enemy. it is islamic, extremist terrorism. you know who you are. of and we're coming to get you. if they are at war against us, which they have declared, we must commit ourselves to uncondition unconditi unconditional victory against them. >> my god, where has that man been. can't we vote for that guy? real words about a real person about a real threat. rudy gets it. he has dealt with such threats. he understands priorities and that's what it is about. priorities. you want another four years of fools, fretting over phobias and feelings, or leaders that can confront direct threats.

we went kayaking with wounded warriors, the hefros who truly get it. you can see how others priorities can be by comparison. these are the folks on the frontline, paying for our freedom. there will be more who walk toward the threat coming straight for us. if they return, they may never be the same. so think of them when you vote. we may have skin in the game, but it is their skin that pays the price. all right, let's go here to the speech. he is the happy warrior. that was just, to me, i was like, i felt -- >> he has had it. >> he has had it. >> up to here, and he doesn't want to take it any more. it was a good speech. i thought from the national security standpoint, it capped the night. the trump campaign, even though they're reluck tant to give details, because the campaign

was initially a nonintervention type of thing. which is fine. but how do you square with what needs to be done. people when they vote will want explanation. i don't think hillary clinton will be clearer on that, either. voters can go with their gut instinct. rudy giuliani, he is somebody to listen to. >> that's what i was thinking. 2012, giuliani didn't talk like that. is it a trump influence? >> '08 that giuliani probably would have locked it down, the nomination, but okay, so he is here. he is ticked off and he is tapping into the same anger and tired of all this stuff that is probably the trump base. but hillary clinton can't do that. she -- that's why i think it is going to come down to two things. national security, but morey, t. we are going to get to the economy, but national security last night was super important on people's minds.

that's where i think he is continue to grow as time goes towards the election. it will get bigger and bigger. you'll start to see the polls flip up in his favor. >> yeah, you know, juan, you were telling me that you thought this was the greatest speech you ever heard. >> well, it was the only speech where i had to turn down the tv because the guy was screaming at me the whole time, gregory. you talk about ten strong cups of coffee. what was going on? holy moly. would you have had to go to the bathroom. that was too much coffee. but you know what -- >> oh, my gosh. >> two cups and i'm running. >> too much time on a bus. >> that's the problem, right. >> so but you know, i just, the think about this is i don't even know this guy. it seems to me he has reinvented himself, maybe he is the next rush limbaugh. maybe shawn hannity, i don't know. >> i think he was energized that trump broke the seal, where you can now say how you feel. how strong -- >> i like that.

i think authentic, if that's really rudy giuliani, i don't know if he would are been elected mayor. >> i think it is rudy giuliani. this is the man that i know, that i admire and respect as a former prosecutor. he is a leader. this is what he has been saying and talking about on this channel, getting the message across. i think it was incredibly helpful to trump and his message of make america safe again. i'm the law and order candidate. let me kick this off by having rudy giuliani that lead-off. it is a very good, start. >> i think it played better among the delegates than it did on tv, because as i said, i felt like he was screaming at me. but the thing that worries me here, oh, make america safe again. guess what, republicans, america is safe right now. if you listen to greg, when we're arguing about guns. america is safer today than it was in the 1950s.

>> the more guns we have, the safer it is. >> there you go. >> they keep saying we're not safe, we are not safe. >> they're talking about safety, not talking about gun control, gun violence. what they're talking about right there is national security safe. >> no, they're talking about -- >> right, there have been terror perpetrated on the homeland more times with president obama than anyone else, and that means we're less safe. >> i don't want to get into the number of sets. i'll leave it alone but what i will say is that 15 people dying here, 49 people dying -- >> i think it is still, this sounds like i'm speaking for the obama administration. >> you would never do that. >> but the fact is, you are more likely to be struck by lightening, eric, than you are to be attacked by a terrorist. >> and you're more likely to be tacked by terrorists -- >> lightning don't follow a doctrine telling him to kill

everybody. lightning is mother nature. it's not let's kill everyone in the west. >> based on an ideology. >> you want more from rudy? here is another message from rudy. >> we say thank you to every police officer and law enforcement agent who is out tonight protecting us when they come to save your life, they don't ask if you are black or white. they just come to save you. it's time to make america one again. one america. what happened to there is no black america. there is no white america. there is just america. >> some people would say that's definitely divisive. >> interesting, i was thinking about hillary clinton next week. so they don't -- hillary doesn't want to become labeled as the antipolice party, right. that's not a good thing going

into -- for anybody, and for democrats, it didn't work out too well a decade ago. how she decides to handle this next week at her convention will be very telling. and i think they're recalibrating their speeches and focus groups to make sure to hit the message. but i hope she speaks from the heart and is honest so we know what we're dealing with. >> do you want to hear sheriff clark. >> the way you counter that as a trump campaign is when she tries to carve out pro law enforcement space, just keep replaying the sound bites of san bernardino and orlando, when she agreed with president obama about gun control, stepping up gun control and gun laws. you can't have it both ways. >> one week of your convention -- >> i think we've got a preview yesterday, dana, because mrs. clinton was at the naacp convention. here she is in a very difficult situation, where people could easily criticize her for

speaking only to black concerns, and not together fa that you have police officers being slain in the streets. but what she said was, we have to do the very difficult and essential work to repair the bonds of trust between the black community and the police. i think that's an important -- that's subjectively -- >> and true. >> true. >> the way she said it, her caden cadence, it makes your ears bleed, kimberly. >> can i tell you, everybody was so happy and proud of the job that mayor giuliani did after 9/11, that's a guy that is really excelled in a leadership position. he has ideas, he knows what to do. he is certain. he is smart. has the respect of law enforcement and lawyers alike and prosecutors. when you hear him talk like that, you know what i thought to myself, i would feel really comfortable and sleep well at night if he was in charge of something important and big, homeland security, something of that nature. owes a man on message, a man who is unafraid and he has the specifics. he knows what needs to be done. i like that. >> good point. want to leave with sheriff

clark? he had some interesting stuff to say. go sheriff. >> ladies and gentlemen, i would like to make something very clear. blue lives matter in america! what we witnessed in ferguson and baltimore and baton rouge was a collapse of a social order so many of the actions of the occupying movement and black lives matter transcends people protest, and violates the code of conduct we rely on. i call it anarchy. >> he's got quite a voice, i think. what a discovery, i think, and it is something we need to hear. talking about the police, not smurfs, when he says blue lives matter. >> he has been affected, too. he has been the leading voice on the pro law enforcement. i'm curious to see what happens in philadelphia, huge massive

law enforcement present, when they go to philadelphia, and the black lives matters protesting, all the democratic whose have been pretty antilaw enforce. pointing the finger at cops in these situations. it will be a clash. >> again, you see democrats pointing the finger at cops. i think america loves police officers. >> i would say you're right, generally. but that's more a conservative value than a liberal value. >> okay, it is hard to weigh the scales of justice. i would say america according to the polls love preliminary and we love law and order. the thing about sheriff clark, you wonder, you know, he is playing to the base again. i keep waiting for republicans to try to persuade the middle. i just don't see -- >> the middle is pro police. >> you're trying to say, oh, the left hate the police. most people don't hate the police. >> they blame the police. >> putting that aside and their rhetoric. see sheriff clark, i feel good about police, i feel good about him in a leadership position as well. he is a strong voice and

courageous, and it is very important. all right, coming up, what to expect on night two of the republican national convention, and awaiting the official nomination of donald trump. don't miss that. back in a moment.

thank you. god bless you and god bless america. >> she is winning a lot of x-ra praise, but there are similarities to michelle owe become -- obama's speech in 2008. >> it is basically three places in the speech, and it is fragments of words. she knew what she was doing. it never occurred from another speech without acknowledging that she was quoting somebody else. her speech last night was a very poignant presentation of the person she knew and really of her coming to america, and what it meant to become an american citizen. that's what we should be talking about. that was the message. that was the am he is samessage of the speech. >> generally speaking, let's talk about how you felt the

delivery, how it came off and we can discuss content. juan, go ahead. >> i want to be supportive. i want to -- you know, i think she did a very good job with what she had. she stared at the teleprompter a little too much. she came across authentic, and people watching, viewing, were largely felt that it was very good, that she did a good job. and it seems also, like you know what, she has a good relationship with her husband. >> it does seem that way. >> just words, right, kimberly, just words. here is what i mean by just words. all this controversy about millennia's similar comments that michelle obama had eight years ago, president obama, before his president, running for president, senator obama, the candidate, lifted exactly the same words that duvall patrick used with just words. google it out. duvall patrick and obama

speeches. they're almost identical as well. this controversy, was there two lines that were similar, i think it is overblown. manafort put it to rest. i agree with juan. she had a beautiful speech. >> eric, you know, i don't see how you can justify her excuses. this is terrible. >> i'm not. >> you know what, same thing, but obama did it himself eight years ago. >> he was roundly ridiculed for it. that is, i think is the point. somebody did a real disservice to her. because that speech that she gave, she was brave to get up there. i thought she was very, very good, getting high praise all around. and they've given seven different explanations. it is not her. if she is mad, she has a right to be. they did a disservice to her. this is not meant -- you're not saying this to hurt the trump campaign. hiding the fact that they have a

problem in terms of dealing with crisis, communication, it is not a big deal in terms of crisis, but from a pr standpoint, somebody did a disservice to her. >> she said she wrote it herself. that's even more damaging. >> that's north part of the explanations. several that came out. >> all right, greg. >> i'm glad she didn't bring up any heartwarming stories about sasha or malia. eric trump, get rid of the speech. not what you can do for your -- that's been done. i agree. i think that i admired her. i think of my wife. my wife was born in russia. and i would imagine of her getting up and doing a speech, in front of 40 million people, how hard it would be. it is admirable that she did that, and can speak multiple languages and is able do that. it is incredibly impressive. they let her down. >> yep. >> they screwed her over. that i think is unacceptable. by the way, we all know, nobody

writes these speeches. there are speech writers. >> but are you saying it was that big of a deal that -- >> i think it is humiliating. it was a section about honesty. that's the problem. >> describing her house, like how hard for the speech rigwrit it is not that hard to come up with an explanation. >> she should be so angry. she was talking about something about honesty, sincerity, and they lifted that, and she -- it was a win for her. >> wait a minute. >> she was so brave. >> i think there is a host on cnn that's still there, and a similar situation, but cnn had -- look, i think, look, i'm agreeing with you, but i don't think it was that big of a deal to start with. >> let me tell you why it is a big deal. because eric bolling has to not only defend it, but talk about it for the whole segment. i mean, that's crazy. if you're trying to run a -- the republican campaign. >> frankly, a lot of people -- >> obviously a lot of -- come

on. the bottom line, dana, agree with you, a disservice was done to her, because she was a standout in terms of the way she composed her, it is genuine she believes in her husband and she wants to share him with the country to do something great, but somebody should have been protected her. first ladies have to give a lot of speeches, and they have to protect her. >> insert personal stories instead of platitudes. >> the take way for me, i thought that she was compelling. she has an interesting story. she is highly educated, multiple languages. would make a good first lady. >> an example of the great immigration. >> right. >> the great immigrant. >> like, mark stein uses some of your material. >> you and mark were separated at birth. >> all right, secrets last night made powerful cases, why hillary clinton should not be our next president. those highlights, ahead.

we're waiting for the big moment. the rnc is about to open up for day two, and donald trump will be officially nominated as his party's candidate for president. stay tuned for that huge moment. last night's focus was on national security and why hillary clinton cannot be trusted to make america safe again. >> i blame hillary clinton personally for the death of my son. that's personally. that's right. hillary for prison. she deserves to be in stripes. >> we defied stand down orders,

and skwandered when hillary failed to protect her people on the ground. >> i have called on hillary clinton to drop out of the race, because she, she put our nation security at extremely high risk with her careless use of a private e-mail server. if i did a tenth of what she did, i would be in jail today. crooked hillary clinton, leave this race now. >> i shutter to think how many times our flag will fly at half mask if hillary clinton is in the oval office. >> pretty impressive speeches last night. >> very impressive. pretty strong. it doesn't get stronger with lieutenant general flynn dropping the hammer on her, really what americans feel in the polling, which she is not to be trusted. what she did was unethical. it was something that was

criminally wrong as well, and he is saying if it was me, in her position, then i would be out and i would be in jail. i think that's a pretty persuasive statement. >> what do you say, did they make the case? >> no, if flynn is still speaking, he went on and on. the hall was empty. i think he started way late, almost midnight. the thing about it, the green u talk about admiring her strength, right. she is very brave to get up in front of all those people and

she is having to talk about something that no mother should ever have to talk about. so i thought that that was p powerful. i'm looking forward to seeing paul ryan. how does he walk the line that he has decided to draw for himself and talk about the policy and future. that actually, juan, what you're talking about appealing broader out of the base, paul ryan may try to do that tonight, maybe you'll give him some applause tomorrow. >> i like paul ryan. >> don't hold your breath. >> by the way, i think he'll talk about the agenda for the house. >> all right, i don't -- i'm not sure the speakers last night will persuade. but you know who will. hillary clinton. every time when she opens her mouth, a thousand people run screaming. she sounds like the warden at like cellblock h explaining curfew. i listened to the naacp speech, it didn't matter what she was

saying, the cadence is so manufactur manufactured, the more she talks, the more it helps trump. >> all right, we're going to leave it there. we have a lot more to get to today. two of donald trump's -- tonight, two of his children, tiffany and donald, jr. we're going to tell you what to expect on night two of the convention, coming up next.

it didn't matter what she was we're going to tell you what w

i'm billy, and i quit smoking with chantix. i had a lot of doubts going in. i was a smoker. hands down, it was, that's who i was. after one week of chantix, i knew i could quit. along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. chantix definitely helped reduce 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, stop 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. life as a non-smoker is a whole lot of fun. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. like having something your fit you, just right, thank you randall. every stitch and seam of your home insurance, tailored to fit you and your budget. with unique features, like claim free rewards... ohh! customized home protection

the day, trump's official nomination, which we're going to bring it to you live as that happens. i gotta say, do you remember, you guys, when 2012, is that when christy spoke? >> yeah. >> that speech was sort of like, no one was happy. do you think he has thought that through and tonight will be different. will he try to top rudy giuliani? >> the whole time chris christie talked about himself. it felt like he was running for president down the road after mitt romney won or didn't win. so i think the same issue is going on with ted cruz right now. will ted cruz come out and deliver a nominating speech for donald trump. >> but he is not on the list. >> i know. allegedly he is coming. >> they're in talks. dr. ben carson will speak tonight too. juan, do you expect anything particular out of his speech. >> ben carson really is a trump supporter. what you see is ben carson, i think ben has the idea in mind that he can be persuasive, that

there are people there who want to hear from someone who both in terms of the evangelicals spirit, but in terms of the minority spirit, that you know what, i trust donald trump. i think that trump's values, and that's what i think you're going to hear from carson, that his values are in concert with people who want better for their families. >> what about you, kimberly, the campaign has been making sure we know clearly all the children will speak. you have tiffany and done, jr. tonig -- don, jr. >> they're going to give great speeches, and they've been gone over thoroughly. somebody better. let's make sure. >> it's easy, i give a speech, cut and paste it. >> in terms of the children and they're grown-up adults now, they're smart, bright, passionate about their father, very articulate. they are such an asset for them, and it is great he can have them

meet america and connect and say you're getting all of us, it is a package deal, this family, on your behalf. i love when a family comes out strong. >> kerry woolard, the trump wine winery. >> i'm more excited about tiffany trump. she's like the fifth beatle. she is in the background, doesn't say much. >> going to get a moment. >> she's like pete best. do you remember pete best? >> no. >> he was the drummer for the beatles. by the way, donald, jr., take down the line, tear down the wall. >> what is wrong with you? >> kimberly, you know who else i'm excited to hear, the former attorney general of the united states. >> he is great. one time i was in forget at that, our friend at seven, he was on and it was right after some big breaking news. he is very smart. an impressive man. i look forward to that, a former prosecutor. >> you know the sweepeech you'r

going to love, chris cox, are you ready for that. >> i'm sure the nra paid the bill. that's why they're here. what strikes me, the dog that didn't bark, you get all his family, you get the winery guy, the nra guy because there are a lot of republicans who just didn't show up. the star power at this thing, low wattage. >> we got a soap opera star. >> it has gone well so far. nothing low wattage about rudy giuliani, he should have his own energy drink at this moment. >> kimberly brown. >> start low and -- >> start low and -- >> huge things later in the week. >> kimberly brown. >> joanie loves chahhi. >> antonio sabato, jr. >> we're going to have to go. we're going to turn it over to

bret baier as the "call to order" gets underway. we'll see you tomorrow afternoon at 5:00 p.m. eastern. this is a fox news alert. i'mier, the quicken loans arena in cleveland, the site of the republic national convention. we are getting ready to witness a moment that really almost no one saw coming in the beginning. in just a few minutes, donald trump will formally be voted in as the republican presidential nominee for 2016. we're working all the convention stories here in cleveland, but we begin down on the floor, with martha mccallen, as the process gets underway shortly, and the band, obviously, martha is getting underway, kicking in. >> they sure are, it is rocking down here and it is rocking in

the new york area tonight. they're going to begin the roll call a bit after 6:00 we understand. they're going to go through a number of states. continue to add up the tallies. they're both for donald trump and both for candidate b, however, that goes. once it gets close so that donald trump's nomination is getting past the number that needs to be put into the nomination for presidency, you'll start to hear some of the states take a pass. they'll do that because it is important to the campaign that the number that puts him over the top is happening in the new york delegate area. just tack a look over my shoulder. it is packed right now in the new york delegation. one of the biggest moments of this evening will be when donald trump, jr., who is himself a delegate, steps in front of the microphone to put his father over the top. it will no doubt be -- he stuck by his father throughout the campaign. he think when this all started, it seemed so improbable that

donald trump would be the nomination. they always said he would win. a huge part of the support system for their father, it will clearly be a big moment for the father of five. then ahe'll step on the stage i support of his father and that is expect today be one of the memorable moments tonight. there is not a pretty serious effort to unbound delegates. there is still a group, iowa, washington, there is some discussion that they might try to do that. it doesn't look like it will happen tonight. back to you. >> reince priebus, rnc chairman. >> please welcome the color guard from the cleveland police department who are helping protect us tonight.

[ applause ] thereby from california, let's bring in chief washington correspondent, james rosen, who is on the floor. set the stage about what we'll see here in the next few minutes. james. >> brett, we're looking at presentation of colors and some of the other ceremonial aspects. before we get to the main business of the evening, obviously as martha was just mentioning, the highlight of the evening will be the placing of the nom -- the name of donald j. trump for the republican party. there could be some, some repeat of the kind of chaos that we saw on the floor of the convention yesterday, and that brouhaha over the rules package.

that depends on the ted cruz forces. it would seem certain that would happen yesterday, they seemed not to know what could happen is that you will hear of course those states that voted for ted cruz, placing his name in nomination, brett. >> the house speaker, paul ryan is coming on stage. let's listen in. >> hey, wisconsin. hello, everyone. it is an honor to be here. before we begin, i would like to remind the delegates of the provisions of the rules which require that each candidate for nomination for president of the united states demonstrates sufficient support prior to the presentation of the name of the candidate for nomination. the chair wishes to inform the

delegates it that it has been furnished in a timely manner with evidence of sufficient support of the candidates who will be presented for president and vice-president of the united states in compliance with the rules of the convention. [ applause ] >> also, under the rules, the total time for nominating speeches and seconding speeches for any candidate for president or vice-president shall not exceed 15 minutes. it has also been custom at past conventions for the chair to recognize non-delegates for the purpose of making speeches and seconding speeches. without objection, the readling of the roll call presented for nomination is dispensed with, and non-delegates shall be permitted to make nominating and

seconding speeches. the chair now recognizes the senator from alabama, jeff sessions, for the purpose of nominating. please give him a warm welcome. [ applause ] >> mr. speaker, americans love our country like no other people on earth. but we have gotten off course, and the american people know it. our political system is not

working. we operate like the trench warfare battles of world war i where hundreds of thousands die but no ground is gained. good americans will stand for this no longer. they want the political game, the posturing and showboats to end. they want their country on the right track again. medium incomes have declined. terrorist attacks are increasing. respect for america has fallen. crime is rising. and the president, he blames the police. the president does not lead. congress is deadlocked. the political, corporate and media establishments, they say calm down. don't overreact. don't be politically incorrect.

unstated is a threat, if you persist in your complaints, we will attack you. but this has its difference. one man, donald trump, was not intimidated. he would not be silent. he spoke the truth. he gave voice to the people's concerns. he said that the trade deals have hurt america, and hurt people. that our border must be secure. that our nation, that our nation must be strong. that we must defeat the terrorists who threatened us. that we must restore law and

order, and support our courageous law enforcement officers. the americans, the american voters heard this message. and they rewarded his courage and his leadership with a huge victory in our primaries. he dispatchmomentum continues t. a movement started. democrats responded. he received far more primary votes than any republican candidate in history.

let me tell you about the donald trump i've come to know. he has a wonderful family, which he loves intensely. in his personal relations, he is unfailing courteous and generous, and he is positive by nature. he has tremendous energy and strength. he is a warrior and a winner. he loves his country. and he is determined to see it be a winner again. i have been proud of this party and its principles since i was a teenager. it is not given to us to know the future. i certainly don't. but i came to believe some months ago that donald trump is the singular leader that can get

this country back on track. he has the strength, the courage and will to get it done. he and the american people share a common goal and together, we will make america great again. [ cheers and applause ] >> mr. speaker, mr. speaker, it is my distinct honor and great

pleasure to nominate donald j. trump for the office of president of the united states of america. thank you. and god bless.
