the biggest speechz of the night as donald trump jr. set to address the crowd. i'm bret baier. >> hi, everybody. i'm megyn kelly. we're live at the quicken loans arena in cleveland ohio for the second night of the republican national convention. the path ending with his home state of new york and his own son placing the vote that put him over the top. >> and it is my honor to be able to throw donald trump over the top in the delegate count tonight with 89 delegates and

another 6 for john kasich. congratulations, dad. we love you! >> and now we are awaiting comments from the nominee's son, donald trump jr. >> we have fox team coverage. bill hemmer and martha maccallum are both on the floor here in the queue in cleveland. we start with martha, who is right by the trump family. martha. >> all right. thanks, guys. as the music kicks up, i hope you can hear me all right down here. right behind me you have the rest of the trump family, ivanka trump will speak. she'll introduce her father on thursday night. eric trump will speak tomorrow night. he's there with his wife, laura, as well. we just heard from the younger trump just a few moments ago. you know, one of the interesting things is to watch donald trump jr. i read through his speech earlier, which you're going to hear in just a moment. it's very clear to me, having interviewed donald trump jr. several times, that his speech was clearly written by him. his voice is very strong.

expect everybody after this speech to say, he may have a political future of his own. it's very from the heart. talking about how he was raised, and his father is a blue-collar billionaire and that he doesn't care where anybody got their mba. he treats everybody exactly the same. that's what you'll hear from donald trump jr. moments away, guys. >> thank you, martha. >> want to go over now to bill hemmer. bill. >> megyn, good evening. governor chris christie down on the the floor. how did you feel about the speech tonight, governor? >> it went really well. the case made against hillary clinton, i think it was right for a former prosecutor to do it. >> how different was this speech than four years ago when you gave the key note in tampa, florida? >> very different. you know, tonight i had one job, make the case against hillary clinton. key note's a broader, bigger issue. and i'm four years older, four years wiser. >> how much of this speech did you write tonight? >> 100%. >> every word? >> i wrote it last night.

between 11:30 and 2:30. >> do you feel you made the case for this crowd here tonight and perhaps, more importantly, for the millions watching at home? >> it sounded like it. i can't tell what's happening at home, but the crowd here seemed to understand exactly what i was saying and agree with the case i was making. >> at what point did you come up with the line "guilty or not gui guilty"? >> about 1:30 this morning. >> thank you, governor. >> let's take a listen now to donald trump jr. >> thank you. good evening. i'm donald trump jr. i'm the -- thank you. [ cheers and applause ] thank you. i'm the father of five young children from 2-year-old chloe to kai, who just turned 9. i'm the husband to vanessa, an amazing wife and mother, and the son of a great man.

[ cheers and applause ] i'm an american. and tonight i want to talk to you about the country we live in, the country our children will grow up in. for my generation, this is the most important election of our lifetime, one that will determine the future of our country and, in turn, the future of the world. for too long, our country has ignored its problems, punting them down the road for future generations to deal with. in business, i was trained by my father to make the tough investments and decisions today, to assure a brighter future tomorrow. we've actually started to believe that solving our great problems is an impossible task, and that's why we need to elect a man who has a track record of accomplishing the impossible. [ cheers and applause ] for the first time, parents no longer think that their kids

will be as well off as we were. we've lost the confidence in our leaders and the faith in our institutions. but remember one thing. we're still americans. we're still one country. and we're going to get it all back. [ cheers and applause ] we're going to get it back better than ever before. i know we'll get it back because i know my father. i know that when people tell him it can't be done, that guarantees that he gets it done. i know that when someone tells him that something is impossible, that's what triggers him into action. when people told him it was impossible for a boy from queens to go to manhattan and take on developers in the big city, rather than give up, he changed the skyline of new york. [ cheers and applause ] i've seen it time and time again. that look in his eyes when

someone says it can't be done. i saw that look a little over a year ago when he was told he couldn't possibly succeed in politics. yes, he did. for my father, impossible is just the starting point. that's how he approaches business projects. that's how he approaches life. whether it's teaching his granddaughter how to swing a golf club or tackling the toughest negotiations, he's always fully committed. that's why the person who had never run for office before stood on the stage 11 months ago in this very arena with 16 professional politicians, and this week that same man will stand before you as our party's nominee for the president of the united states of america. [ cheers and applause ]

>> trump! trump! trump! >> as a proud son and family member, it was one of the great honors of my life to be able to put him over the top in the delegate count earlier today. his unrelenting determination is why he's going to become our next president and why i know that when my father says he can fix the country, he means it. you want to know what kind of president he'll be? let me tell you how he ran his businesses, and i know because i was there with him by his side on job sites, in conference rooms from the time i could walk. he didn't hide out behind some desk in an executive suite. he spent his career with regular americans. he hung out with the guys on construction sites, pouring sheet rock -- pouring concrete and hanging sheet rock. he listened to their and he

valued their opinions as much and often more than the guys from harvard and wharton, locked away in offices away from the real work. he's recognized the talent and the drive that all americans have. he's promoted people based on their character, their street smarts, and their work ethic, not simply paper credentials. to this day, many of the top executives in our company are individuals that started out in positions that were blue collar. but he saw something in them, and he pushed them to succeed. his true gift as a leader is that he sees the potential in people that they don't even see in themselves. [ cheers and applause ] the potential that other executives would overlook because their resumes don't include the names of fancy colleges and degrees. i know you values those workers and those qualities in people because those are the individuals he had my siblings and me work under when we

started out. that he would trust his own children's formative years to these men and women says all you need to know about donald trump. [ cheers and applause ] we didn't learn from mbas. we learned from people who had doctorates in common sense. guys like vinny stellia, who taught us how to drive heavy equipment, operate tractors and chainsaws, who worked his way through the ranks to become a trusted adviser of my father. it's why we're the only children of billionaires as comfortable in a caterpillar as we are in our own cars. my father knew that those were the guys and gals that would teach us the dignity of hard work from a very young age. he knows that at the heart of the american dream is the idea that whoever we are, wherever we're from, we can get ahead. where everyone can prosper

togeth together. the other party also tells us they believe in the american dream. they say we should worry about economic inequality and immobility. you know what? they're right. but they don't tell you that it was their policies that caused the problem, and it was their policies that have no accountability. [ cheers and applause ] they gave us the worst immigration system in the world, one that imports immobility, one that drives down employment and wages for hispanic-americans, for african-americans, and for everyone. an immigration system that favors illegals over those trying to go through the process leg legally and, at times, even over law-abiding citizens. it was bernie sanders himself who warned that a large tide of new workers keeps wages low and poverty high. the other party gave us public

schools that far too often fail our students, especially those who have no options. growing up, my siblings and i, we were truly fortunate to have choices and options that others don't have. we want all americans to have those same opportunities. our schools used to be an elevator to the middle class. now they're stalled on the ground floor. they're like soviet era department stores that are run for the benefit of the clerks and not the customers, for the teachers and administrators and not the students. you know why other countries do better on k through 12? they let parents choose where to send their own children to school. that's called competition. it's called the free market, and it's what the other party fears. [ cheers and applause ] they fear it because they're more concerned about protecting the jobs of tenured teachers

than serving the students in desperate need of a good education. they want to run everything top down from washington. they tell us they're the experts and they know what's best. the other party gave us a regulatory state on steroids. dodd-frank was a thousand pages long, and it's already spun off 22,000 pages in regulations. imagine trying to digest all that before you even open your doors for business. that doesn't help consumers. what it does is destroy small business in favor of big businesses, who can afford the vast number of lawyers and accountants needed to comply. dodd-frank is consumer protection for billionaires. we produced the thickest network of patronage and influence of

any country at any time in world history. it's composed of the self-satisfied people at the top, our new aristocrats. we can't live that way any longer. it's too risky. let me talk a little bit about risks. the other party is the party of risk. i've spent time with many great americans who have served this country in the military, and they know what's at stake. when we have weak leaders in positions of power, americans risking their lives for our freedoms are less safe. you know, almost daily i get a call or a text from a real american hero. his name is mark geist, and i'm proud to call him a friend. mark was part of the security team at the annex on the ground of the consulate in benghazi. mark was one who received frantic calls, calls that he and his team tried to answer. a call that didn't save all his

friends because secretary clinton's state department had ignored their requests for help both on the night in question and even in the weeks and months leading up to the attack. [ booing ] it was a tragedy and one that would be repeated were she to win the election. ask mark who's fit to lead, who has the judgment to lead, who will take that call at 3:00 in the morning or, better yet, ask usu yourselves if you were in mark's shoes that night, who would you rather call? >> trump! trump! trump! >> let me tell you something about risk. if hillary clinton were elected, she'd be the first president who couldn't pass a basic background check.

it's incredible. hillary clinton is a risk americans can't afford to take. she says she'll issue executive orders to take away americans' guns. she wants to appoint judges who will abolish the second amendment. just look at how effective those laws have been in inner city chicago, a city with the tough ef gun laws in our nation, where 70 people were murdered last month alone, and where over 3,400 american lives have been lost since this administration took office in 2009. you know why those laws failed? because criminals by definition don't follow laws. [ cheers and applause ] rather than prosecuting real criminals, she would strip hard-working, law-abiding citizens of their right to protect themselves and their families. she'll throw every possible obstacle in the path of safe, reliable, affordable energy produced in america by

americans, for american businesses and families, rather than being energy-independent, our country will be forced to remain beholden to her buddies in the middle east. those are risks we can't afford to take. and when we win, we're not going to have to. there's so much work to do. we will not accept the current state of our country because it's too hard to change. that's not the america i know. we're going to unleash the creative spirit and energy of all americans. we're going to make our schools the best in the world for every single american of every single ethnicity and background. [ cheers and applause ] we're going to put americans first -- all americans. not a special class of crony elites at the top of the heap. we're going to elect a president who will work with everyone to pass legislation that will make our country great again. a president will will give us a

tax code that will free the american economy and end special loopholes for the wealthy. a president who will give us an immigration law that protects american citizens and gives them jobs. a president who will repeal and replace obamacare without leaving our most vulnerable citizens without health care, and who will do it without destroying medicare for seniors as hillary clinton has proposed. a president who knows we can't simply delete our problems, but that we have to tackle them head-on. a president who won't allow p.c. culture to put the safety and well being of our children and our loved ones at stake. a president who won't bow and pander to nations that shudder at the very thought of america's existence. >> trump! >> a president more concerned with the safety and comfort of his fellow americans than the feelings of those hostile nations abroad who, if given the

option, would wipe america off the face of this earth. [ cheers and applause ] >> trump! trump! >> a president not beholden to special interests, foreign and domestic, and one who funded his entire primary run out of his own pocket just to prove it. a president who will secure and defend the borders of the united states and who will appoint judges who believe that freedom requires a limited government. >> trump! >> a president who won't use the highest office in the land as a path to personal enrichment. >> trump! >> a president who's actually created real jobs, who has actually signed the front of a paycheck, and who doesn't just talk about it in theory. >> trump! >> a president who has real people's families and livelihoods dependent on his success and the success of his company for decades.

>> trump! >> a president who speaks his mind and not just when it behooves him to do so. who does haven't to run a focus group or use data analytics to be able to form a simple opinion. >> trump! >> who says what needs to be said and not just what you want to hear. >> trump! >> a president who will unleash the greatness in our nation and in all of us, who will give the hard-working men and women who built this great country a voice once again. >> trump! >> that president can only be -- >> trump! >> -- my mentor, my best friend, my father, donald trump. [ cheers and applause ] and when we elect him, we'll have done all that. we'll have made america great again. greater than ever before. thank you and god bless.

[ cheers and applause ] >> well, we've heard that donald trump's children are his calling cards. donald trump jr., the oldest of five children, making the case for his father as a hard worker, somebody has been described as a blue collar billionaire, saying at one point we didn't learn from mbas. we learned from guys who had doctorates in common sense, talking about education and lifting people up, and talking about wealth and what they do with it. donald trump jr. delivering what seemed like a well-received speech in this hall. >> and sort of sweetly, i mean sentimentally. you can see all the trump kids love their dad and have nothing about great things to say about him. you could see emotion overcoming imh him at times. brit hume is here. chris wallace is back with us.

and tucker carlson is with us as well. great to see you guys. what did you think, tucker? >> i thought he killed. i ran into don jr. in a coffee shop in new york last week, and i said what i already suspected, which is he doesn't read teleprompter. like all the trumps, it's extemporaneous. i thought what he did a great job. what you saw in the speech is the new republican party. it's trump's republican party. contrast with don jr. said with the speaker of the house. the emphasis in the trump speech was immigration, border enforcement, the dying middle class. i mean whose views are more in sync with average republican voters. i kept thinking that. you're looking at the voice of ordinary republican voters, i think. >> chris, there was a mix between pro-trump defending his father, talking about his father, and anti-clinton. and we've seen that balance tonight. before that, chris christie with a powerful speech to this convention about prosecuting the case against hillary clinton. >> yeah. i actually think that they've

overdone it a little bit in terms of going after clinton, not to say that there isn't a case to be made against her, but you also have to make an affirmative case on behalf of donald trump and who better to do it than his eldest son? i thought it was a brill yantd speech. frankly i thought it was the best speech so far in this convention. first of all, just his presence. as you talked about, the fact that he is so smart, so in command, so poised, so -- i thought the speech was really a smart speech. it's more than the trump tower and any of his other properties, the best statement of what trump has built. secondly, he talked about donald trump, and you picked the same line i would have. you know, we learned from people with doctorate in common sense. and the fact that they were on the jobs with him, on construction sites, not just in the conference rooms. and then not just going after clinton, but going after the democratic party. and i think better than anybody else, making the case about what's wrong with the democratic party, whether it's immigration

or public education, where they're more concerned about teachers' unions than they are about choice for parents on a whole different level. what's at stake ideologically in this race. i think he framed the choice brilliantly on a personal level, on an ideological level. i also ran into donald jr. tonight. he said, one, he wanted to make a big speech. he didn't want it just to be about his dad, but he wanted it to be a big speech, and he also said the most important thing is performance. you can have great material, but you've got to deliver it well. >> megyn, did you run into donald jr. tonight? >> i did not run into him. brit, the chris christie speech bears mention because -- >> yes, it does. >> he went after hillary clinton as a prosecutor would and dismantled her, you know, character. that's what he was trying to do. that was the goal. he talked about her policy decisions, but he was talking about her as a leader, her judgment, saying she's a phony,

no genuineness. she lied to the american people. she lied about her selfishly awful judgment. she made the world a more dangerous place. all the failure of the obama years, but with less charm and more lies is what you'd get with her. so i'm wondering whether he really, you know, did they take the whole matt lauer tone down the rhetoric thing to heart? >> evidently not. it was his job to rip her skin off, and i think he did a pretty good job of that. it was followed up quite deftly by donald jr. when he said she would the only person in history who couldn't pass a background check, which i thought was a devastatingly effective one line. i thought his speech was very effective. i was thinking as i was watching him how he is just the kind of guy that the people in the democratic party just watching this must really hate. young, handsome, successful, rich, articulate. >> father of five. >> father of five. he's a powerful voice on behalf of his father, no question about it. >> tucker, on the contrast

between donald trump, the nominee now officially tonight, and mitt romney, the nominee last time, the fact it didn't seem mitt romney could ever come to grips with how to talk about his wealth. this family talks about their wealth in a way that actually identifies with middle class america in states like michigan and pennsylvania. >> and the aspirations of people in those states. the central fact about the trumps and their wealth is not only are they not embarrassed about it, they celebrate it. now, that's regarded and it may be vulgar, but it's also very straightforward and transparent. they're not hiding it. it's not the hold money assumpti assumption, you pretend that you don't have a lot of dough. >> and it's the right insight of how americans, broadly speaking, feel about wealth. they don't particularly envy wealth in the sense of envying wealthy people. they want to be more like them. they want to be rich too. so here you have a rich guy coming and saying, you know, been on the work sites as chris correctly pointed out, i thought that was very appealing. but what he's basically saying is, you know, you could be like

us because i'm like you. i think that's potentially -- >> the line about we're as comfortable in a caterpillar as in our cars is pretty effective. >> it was great. i couldn't agree more. he and the family wear it lightly. yes, they're rich. they acknowledge it. they talked about the fact they have choices that other people don't have. but they're not embarrassed about it, and they also, as he said, point out we haven't lived in an ivory tower. our dad was tough on us. he put us to work. he had us out working on construction sites, and as you say, we're as comfortable in caterpillars as we are in our own cars. incidentally, i have no idea how you drive a caterpillar. >> he says something like we're the only kids of billionaire who's are that way. i think that's interesting about trump. how many kids of billionaires have you met who are kind of normal, who like their pafrrent and aren't messed up? i'd like to see the child-rearing book, kind of now how he did that. how do you have a billion dollars and have normal kids? >> you know, he says he never

let them -- he also instilled in them the value of hard work. he never let them smoke. he didn't want them to drink. he didn't want them to get tattoos, although he said he softened on that now. >> can you be more specific? >> you know, the interesting thing here is i think melania, and i know you've talked about the controversy about the speech and the words in it. i thought she killed it last night. he did tonight. we know that ivanka, who is maybe the star of the family, will do it on thursday. now we just have to wonder whether or not donald trump is going to live up to the rest of the family. >> it will be something. panel, thank you. much more to come from cleveland here at the q. >> fox's coverage of the second night of the republican national convention continues next. stay with us. >> the facts and just the facts lead you to the same verdict both around the world and here at home. in libya and nigeria, guilty.

in china and syria -- >> guilty! >> in iran and russia and cuba -- >> guilty! >> and here at home for risking american secrets to keep her own and lying to cover it all up -- >> guilty! now you can't spell nutriam i right?t nut, i mean whose to say it's pronounced nu-triton, anyway? my mixes contain delicious nuts, specially blended for your optimal nut-rition. that's right,

i just changed a word in the english dictionary, forever. planters. nutrition starts with nut. i love that my shop is part of the morning ritual around here. people rely on that first cup and i wouldn't want to mess with that. but when (my) back pain got bad, i couldn't sleep. i had trouble getting there on time. then i found aleve pm. aleve pm is the only one to combine a safe sleep aid plus the 12 hour strength of aleve. for pain relief that can last into the morning. ♪ look up at a new day... hey guys! now i'm back. aleve pm for a better am. oh, hey, jamie, can you hang back a sec? ♪ you wanna tell me about the boy in this painting? i dunno...maybe nobody understands him. well, if he were here, i'd say that being different is what makes him special. just like our discounts -- each one is unique, but together, they help save our customers a lot of money. okay. pop quiz, who's my favorite student?

granddaughter how to swing a golf club or tackling the toughest negotiations, he's always fully committed. that's why the person who had never run for office before stood on the stage 11 months ago in this very arena with 16 professional politicians, and this week that same man will stand before you as our party's nominee for the president of the united states of america! >> they have the same mannerisms, right? you can see the donald trump senior in the donald trump jr.? >> he doesn't have this one. >> he's going to get that by the time he's 70. so donald trump jr. just wrapped up his speech at the gop convention in cleveland. and both bill hemmer and martha maccallum were on the floor just inches away from that. we're going tl hemmer. >> i just want to give you a little flavor what's happening down here on the floor. behind me is the pennsylvania

delegation, and they're pretty solid. they're stacked in. tommy, come with me here. behind pennsylvania, you have the host state, ohio, and i think this is rather telling. at least half the delegates are gone. now, you know the story with the governor, john kasich. he's not going to be here this week. the senator, rob fortman, said a few months back that he would support trump and his campaign. he has been in the building, but he is not speaking. just to show the contrast here from, you know, a host state in the state where you need to win in order to win the white house. chris christie was a huge hit down here. so was donald trump jr. born on new year's eve, 1977. university of pennsylvania, the father of five, and this was his biggest moment in life. he walked off the stage tonight

and threw a big fist in the air, signaling triumph tonight here in cleveland. megyn. >> bill, what do you think? they're off getting the sky line chilly? >> i would recommend a cheese coney, no onions, maybe a bowl of oyster crackers and a large water with lemons. >> they might all be there. >> bill says that, but he doesn't actually eat like that. you can't look like bill hemmer and eat that way. >> every now and then. see you guys. >> we're waiting on dr. ben carson. he's going to be coming to the stage, and i think we just got the cue. obviously ben carson, one of the first candidates who ran against trump to endorse trump. >> and was savaged by him in the primary but wound up forgetting, forgiving and pushing for party unity. let's take a listen. >> thank you. [ cheers and applause ]

thank you so much. thank you. thank you. all right. don't eat up my time. thank you. i want to thank you all for that very warm welcome. i have to start out by saying one very important thing. i'm not politically correct. [ cheers and applause ] and i hate political correctness because it's antithetical to the founding principles of this country, and the secular progressives use it to make people sit down and shut up while they change everything. it's time for us to stand up and shout out about what we believe in. [ cheers and applause ] you know, i devoted my career to

studying and operating on the human brain. this remarkable organ defines our humanity. it gives us the ability to not only feel and observe, but to reason. when we elect a president, we need to use that power of reasoning to look at their history, their character, what kind of people they really are. it makes all the difference in the world for us. and it is going to be so critical right now. we must resist the temptation to take the easy way out and to passively accept what is fed to us by the politically elite and the media because they don't know what they're talking about. but they have an agenda. now, we must also be wary of the narrative that's being advanced by some in our own party. the notion that a hillary

clinton administration wouldn't be that bad. the effects would only be temporary. [ booing ] you know, that it would only last for four and, at most, eight years. they're not using their god-given brain to think about what they're saying because it won't be four or eight years, because she will be appointing people who will have an effect on us for generations, and america may never recover from that. that's what we have to be thinking about. you know, interestingly enough, we have to start thinking about what would hillary clinton do if she was, in fact, president. she would appoint supreme court justices. she would appoint federal judges, and that would have a deleterious effect on what happens for generations to come. not only that, but she would

continue with a system that denigrates the education of our young people, puts them in a place where they're never going to be able to get a job, where they're always going to be dependent and where they can therefore be cultivated for their votes. this is not what america is all about, this kind of deception. and this is what we, the people, have the necessary obligation to fight. [ cheers and applause ] now, one of the things that i have learned about hillary clinton is that one of her heroes, her mentor, was saul ol olinski. and her senior thesis was about saul olinski.

this was someone that she greatly admired and that affected all of her philosophies subsequently. now, interestingly enough, let me tell you something about saul olinsky. he wrote a book called "rules for radicals." on the dedication page, it acknowledges lucifer, the original radical who gained his own kingdom. now, think about that. this is a nation where our founding document, the declaration of independence, talks about certain inalienable rights that come from our creator. this is a nation where our pledge of allegiance says we are one nation under god. [ cheers and applause ] this is a nation -- this is a nation where every coin in our pocket and every bill in our wallet says "in god we trust."

so are we willing to elect someone as president who has, as their role model, somebody who acknowledges lucifer? think about that. the secular progressive agenda is antithetical to the principles of the founding of this nation, and if we continue to allow them to take god out of our lives, god will remove himself from us. we will not be blessed, and our nation will go down the tubes. and we will be responsible for that. we don't want that to happen. now, donald trump, he understands this very well. he understands that the blessings of this nation come with the responsibility to ensure that they are available to all and not just a privileged few. this is exemplified by his willingness to take on the establishment against all odds. it is evident in his passion for

the american worker. it is found in his desire to put his considerable skills to work on behalf of american interests, not his self-interest. i'm proud to support donald trump, an extraordinary businessman, the right leader for a time such as this. [ cheers and applause ] but you know what? it is not about donald trump. it is not about me. it is about we, the people. and thomas jefferson said that we would reach this point because we, the people, would not be paying attention, and it would allow the government to grow, to expand, and to metastasize and to try to rule us. but he said before we turn into something else, we, the people, would recognize what was going on, what we were about to lose, and we would rise up, and we

would take control of our nation. and i say now is the time for us to rise up and take america back. [ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> dr. ben carson, who burst onto the national scene with remarks he made in front of president obama at the national prayer breakfast, now finds himself one of the last men standing in the republican primary, and tonight supporting the gop nominee, donald trump. talking about a theme we've heard from him many times, and that is what he believes is not just hillary clinton's but many on the left's fascination with saul olinski. saying what hillary clinton wants is a transformation of america and government control of our lives, something most republicans most certainly do not want. going on about how she's not harmless because many republicans who are on the fence

about trump say, well, four years of hillary, dr. carson making the case that she is not, going through some of the items she's done that he believes are irreversibly harmful to the country already. >> i was struck by when he came onstage and everyone was cheering, and he said, stop, slow down, don't take my time. >> he's been focused on that. >> it reminded me back on august 6th, this very arena, the first fox debate that started this whole cycle, i think he said that line too. >> at many of the debates, he said, you should have come to me a little bit earlier. >> he's been a really strong advocate for donald trump since he got out of the race march 16th. >> republicans love him. >> yeah. let's check in with martha maccallum back on the floor. are you dancing down there, martha? >> hi there, guys. pretty loud down here. we just watched ben carson. the crowd was really warm with him. they were very happy to see him, people screaming at the top of their lungs over here near me. they wanted to make him feel

very welcome. there were a lot of people who have liked to see ben carson go all the way here. but the buzz of the evening here is clearly donald trump jr. i think we're seeing such an interesting role for his family. these three young professionals, and what donald trump jr. did tonight was sort of make a metaphor for his father as parent and the way that he treated his children and the way he would treat the country. and donald trump jr. said we've actually started to believe that solving our great problems is an impossible task. that's why we need to elect a man who has a track record of accomplishing the impossible. for the first time, a brighter future tomorrow, he says we actually will turn the country around. i think he's touching on something that has been part of the success for donald trump so far. it goes back to the make america great slogan again at a time when people in this country feel that there's, you know, no turning things around. many people certainly in this arena. and he really appealed to that. look for him to be a very big voice in any trump administration. you're going to hear from eric

tomorrow night, and i think he's probably going to get the people on their feet as well tomorrow night, guys. big response down here for donald trump jr. tonight. back to you. >> martha, thank you. donald trump making an appearance tonight in cleveland by video, but he's actually in new york. and ocarl cameron is live in ne york city. hi, carl. >> hi, megyn. it's killing me not to be here but here we are at fifth avenue at trump tower because the now nominated republican candidate, donald trump, spent the evening here. obviously he did make that video message thanking everybody for their support and for granting him this nomination. he will not formally accept it, of course, until thursday night. but with that said, he's going to go to cleveland tomorrow, and he will have an event, a rally outside of the convention sort of compound there where the security is so tight, in order to once again rally the troops, talk a little bit about what he expects to say when he accepts the nomination for friday. tomorrow, of course, the theme

is going to be make america work again -- excuse me -- one again. and that's very important, and the evolution of all this process is to bring to the point where the trump campaign now goes into the general election, the full ticket, and has laid out as the conventions are intended to do the agenda, the message, and the image that they want for the general election. obviously mr. trump was very proud to see his family there, very proud to accept the nomination. and tomorrow the big open question they still won't acknowledge whether it's going to happen or not, if he'll show up in that gilded v.i.p. box to watch his vice presidential running mate win his nomination. odds are given history, he'll do exactly that although they've already broken a lot of conventions in term of convention history, and that's exactly what the trump campaign promised. that this would be different. that this would be entertaining, that this would draw interest.

that this would draw controversy. and as melania said last night, there may be good times, there may be hard times, but it's always going to be interesting when it's the trump campaign. so two more days of the republican convention, and, again, donald trump from his tower watching it tonight, clearly a proud father. clearly a proud american, having had the republican convention after these many months wherein so many began this process thinking it was never possible, reaching the pinnacle of republican politics, the pinnacle of presidential politicians, the nominee. >> as donald trump jr. put it, for donald trump senior, impossible is just the starting point. >> the final night is bring america together. there's no again at the end. it's just bring america together. >> coming up next, dana perino, monica crowley and juan williams as fox news live coverage of the republican national convention continues after this.

i thought i married an italian. did the ancestrydna to find out i'm only 16% italian. so i went onto ancestry, soon learned that one of our ancestors was eastern european. this is my ancestor who i didn't know about. >> test test. >> test test

. welcome back to cleveland. joining us now is the panel, juan williams and co-host of "the five", dana perino. joining us now is the panel. what is good about it? >> donald trump junior, if you doesn't want a career in politics, i thought his speech was very good, and not only a good set up for his father, but

just the tone of it was very, very good. the second thing i thought was very good and maybe unexpectedly, i thought dr. ben carson had some of the best lines and energy, great tone. the lucifer reference for may have been too far but the crowd loved it. >> and lock her up, they were chanting. you know. >> and chris christie is an interesting note, in 2012, he nominated mitt romney, spending the bulk of his time for this year's cycle. what he did tonight was critical for his own reputation, and also to support this year's nominee. a agree with dana about donald

trump junior. i think he was a super star tonight. one, he supported his father, and the other important thing he did was reach out to millennials. he's only 38. the message i think all of the children are going to bring to the convention to younger voters, to millennials is my father is going to fight for you. he might be 70 but he's a young 70 and speaking to you and the country you're going to grow up in. >> that is what tiffany did, too. the youngest. i asked kirsten, do you think democrats are looking at this saying they're getting better, or this is donald trump and we're going to talk about donald trump until we're blue in the face in philadelphia. or do they -- how do they view tonight? >> i think one thing they see clearly is that donald trump is putting his family forward. this is all about donald trump

and people who are basically acting as character witnesses for donald trump. so you have questions about donald trump's character, his values, virtues, have doubts about the stories you may have read about his business dealings or whatever else, all of a sudden people saying well, he has a nice family. the family seems to like him. his kids seem to like him and admire him. i must agree about the lucifer stuff. i think with chris christie it's been sort of harsh. i think there is a lot of doom and gloom and the world is ending. we, as republicans have to stand tall against the forces of evil is a little over the top for me and i don't think democrats are the target. there are people who are locked on the republican and democratic side. that is why we have a tight race now. what you've got to focus on is the people in the middle who are persuadable, and right now, donald trump, i think is heavily

focused on those mid western states and white working class men. so are those men who may have gone off of hillary clinton given the fbi investigation, all of the doubts about bill clinton and rest, are those men who are watching tonight saying i think a little differently about donald trump based on it? i would say the family i'm not so thur. >> the gloom and doom aspect is something republicans and much of the country is feeling and has been a complaint many have had about barack obama that he doesn't acknowledge the movement people are feeling, the anger they're feeling in the wake of we're seeing in law and order in the country. >> on the one side you have president obama saying the stock market is good. unemployment is low.

where out of iraq and afghanistan, things are better. why doesn't america feel that way? on the other hand you have about two thirds of the country believes we're headed in the wrong direction. that is why after eight years of any one president there is usually a desire for change, but republicans are trying to do is to say do you want another four years of barack obama type of policy? guess what? it's worse under hillary clinton. to me, there is a ton of doom and gloom. i don't feel inspired by the future of the republican party. i don't see that. >> juan mentioned the independents and going after independents. it seems like it was trying to get unity. one of the things that was noted is that there wasn't a dust up or effort to put ted cruz into the nomination. it went smoothly to get donald trump over the top. so this has to be people that he

couldn't be president before we leave on thursday. >> yes. yes. the famous saying is any voter you have to be able to picture the candidate sitting in the oval office picking up the phone. the official calls come in. i think the objective of the convention is i think they've established is rehaufrjing donald trump into the general election campaign and also positioning him as a possible candidate. you're speaking earlier about americans feeling insecurities. they're feeling deep national insecurities in terrorism and the collapse of the rule of law. what donald trump is positioning himself here tonight is the richard nixon of 1968. this is the law and order candidate going to restore american principles by making sure we get back to the rule of law. >> juan, what do you think the moment that most would concern

the hillary clinton camp? >> coming back to family image. family image. if you can show the american people that donald trump is not the bombastic, loud, irrational character, but somebody is trust worthy with a lovely family, someone you can trust with your family and your economics future, that is a win for donald trump. >> thank you panel. >> thank you. >> so here we are live in cleveland all week we'll be here all week. enjoy the plans, and tomorrow night. >> it be back with the kelly file. coverage continues on fox news channel. "hannity" is up next. keep it here. when my doctor te age-related macular degeneration, amd we came up with a plan to help reduce my risk of progression. and everywhere i look... i'm reminded to stick to my plan. including preservision areds 2. my doctor said preservision areds 2 has the exact nutrient formula that the national eye institute recommends

to help reduce the risk of progression of moderate to advanced amd... after 15 years of clinical studies. preservision areds 2. because my eyes are everything. has been a struggle. i considered all my options with my doctor, who recommended once-daily toujeo®. now i'm on the path to better blood sugar control. toujeo® is a long-acting insulin from the makers of lantus®. it releases slowly, providing consistent insulin levels for a full 24 hours, proven full 24-hour blood sugar control, and significant a1c reduction. and along with toujeo®, i'm eating better and moving more. toujeo® is a long-acting, man-made insulin used to control high blood sugar in adults with diabetes. it contains 3 times as much insulin in 1 milliliter as standard insulin. don't use toujeo® to treat diabetic ketoacidosis, during episodes of low blood sugar, or if you're allergic to insulin. allergic reaction may occur and may be life threatening. don't reuse needles or share insulin pens, even if the needle has been changed.

the most common side effect is low blood sugar, which can be serious and life threatening. it may cause shaking, sweating, fast heartbeat, and blurred vision. check your blood sugar levels daily while using toujeo®. injection site reactions may occur. don't change your dose or type of insulin without talking to your doctor. tell your doctor if you take other medicines and about all your medical conditions. insulins, including toujeo®, in combination with tzds (thiazolidinediones) may cause serious side effects like heart failure that can lead to death, even if you've never had heart failure before. don't dilute or mix toujeo® with other insulins or solutions as it may not work as intended and you may lose blood sugar control, which could be serious. toujeo® helps me stay on track with my blood sugar. ask your doctor about toujeo®. 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.
