tv   Shepard Smith Reporting  FOX News  July 26, 2016 12:00pm-1:01pm PDT

12:00 pm
thank you for being part of "the real story." i'll so you tonight on the floor as we do the roll call and all night long. back here tomorrow morning. here's shep. live from philadelphia, "shepard smith reporting." 3:00 on the east coast. noon on the west coast. good afternoon from wells fargo arena where just a couple of hours we're set to see history unfold. hillary clinton expected to become the first woman nominee of a major political party with the roll call vote of delegates here. after a bitter start, with bernie sanders supporters in full uproar, party democrats are working behind the scenes to get democrats on the same make. fox news learned there were talks to have bernie sanders cast the votes to push hillary
12:01 pm
clinton over the top. but aides said he would not be casting the supporting vote. and today, told them that refusing to support secretary clinton comes with consequences saying and here's a quote. it is easy to boo, but it's harder to look your kids in the face who would be living under donald trump. senator elizabeth warren called his campaign a hot air machine. senator al afranken portrayed trump as a con artist with trump university. but the speech that has the most talking about went after trump without ever mentioning his name. >> don't let anyone ever tell you that this country isn't great. that somehow we need to make it great again. but this right now is the greatest country on earth. >> michelle obama, the first lady, brought down the house with her endorsement of hillary clinton. especially notable after the
12:02 pm
bruising primary fight between hillary clinton and her husband amendment years ago. today's speech is another first. a would-be first gentleman, rallying support for his wife. tonight will mark the tenth straight convention that president bill clinton has addressed. ten in a row. even as delegates here seem to be coming behind hillary clinton there's a dark cloud threatening to throw everything into chaos. the wikileaks founder julian assange claims there will be more release of information provening that party bosses were indeed biased toward hillary clinton at least after the game got going. a revelation that has bernie sanders supporters in open rebellion yesterday. and cost the democratic chairwoman her job. we have kathryn ayers with more on the leak investigation. let's get to jennifer griffin who's here in philly. this sanders thing, there is more to this.
12:03 pm
how would you describe it? you just talked to a high place. >> well, we just got information from the sanders campaign and they suggested that bernie sanders would not be sitting up here. he was either going to call for suspension of the roll call vote and put her over the top through acclamatio acclamation. that's what a is to do. given the booing by the delegates on the floor it is now, we understand, all being renegotiated. it's very fluid. and sanders himself will be up in the family box where you saw bill clinton last night. and it's not clear whether he will come down. we did happen to see governor terry mcauliffe of virginia, he's the one that is going to put hillary clinton's name in for nomination.
12:04 pm
and he told me it would be very fluid and it would be very nice if bernie sanders would come down. >> they need more unity. did it feel like that by the time we were done with michelle obama that the bernie bros they all seemed to be kumbaya'ing? >> it felt like the tension came out of the arena. she never mentioned donald trump by name. and certainly, you didn't hear the kind of booing that you heard even during elizabeth warren's speech and bernie's speech. >> tonight, bill clinton, if you haven't been to one of these things. it's incredible what that man does to a room. it doesn't matter what you feel about him. he's amazing in the room. what's his goal, what's his mission? >> well, he has a very big role. a big mission. he's got to introduce his wife, someone who has been at the forefront of politics for 25 years where you feel like there's nothing more we can know
12:05 pm
about hillary clinton. he's got to reintroduce her to give her a fresh introduction to the american public. it's going to be difficult. the campaign calls him their communicator in chief. the question is whether he can bring the same thunder when he announced barack obama a few years ago. >> how do you like the politics role? you have many hats. >> it is great. i feel like it's the moment that all of my previous assignments have brought me to this point. it's great fun. >> i'm glad. it's hector and hot. you're doing great. >> the founder of wikileaks that published the dnc e-mails says there's no evidence that russia played a part in the hacking. julian assange did not deny it but told nbc news there's no proof. and he also concluded that accusation is a diversion and blamed hillary clinton's camp for that. sources tell fox news that there is indeed evidence that points
12:06 pm
to russia, though we haven't seen it. kathryn ayers is live in washington. how are russian officials responding to all of this? >> before a meeting with secretary of state john kerry it was really an awkward moment when russia's foreign minister was asked if his country was in fact behind the dnc hack. >> well, i don't want to use four letter words. >> fox news has learned that hackers left behind a trail of physical evidence on the dnc servers including malicious codes to steal e-mails and documents that do tie back to moscow. >> but forensic evidence points very clearly to a very sophisticated nation state. is this a well-resourced adversary. specifically, they're using the same tools and techniques previously associated with russia. >> speaking at a conference in new york city, the president's
12:07 pm
adviser would not discuss the fbi investigation but described the cyberattacks on government systems and the dnc as significant. >> hey, what's the word from the white house? >> well, this afternoon's briefing, the white house described the attribution to russia as simply speculative. and would not say whether the fbi would ultimately name names. >> back in 2014, we also said that releasing an internal assessment on attribution would not be standard playbook. on the contrary, it would be case-by-case basis. and investigators will look at two things. one is clarity of evidence pointing to a particular culprit. and the second is whether it's in the united states' best interest to release that. >> the founder of wikileaks julian assange said he does have more e-mails from the clinton
12:08 pm
foundation. and they show evidence of corruption. and based on the previous statements that should happen sometime before november. >> we'll look for that. >> the national political reporter for the associated press. how are you? >> i'm good. >> nice to see you in person. tell me what your reporting suggests about whether there was a turn in the bernie sanders supporters after the night went on. did it improve? like it felt like it, or what are they saying? >> i was on the floor last night. and it did feel like there was a lightening of how much they dug in. i think there are clearly supporters that do not want to let go. strongly bernie or bust. and the clinton campaign has could be concerned whether those people come out in november. he did a good job, elizabeth warren did a good job and of course, the first lady did a good job of giving them a way to
12:09 pm
know what they know about senator sanders and accept hillary as the nominee. >> i know the what mission is, it's really about trying to show the rest of the supporters around the world that these, the delegates are in, so you need to be in, too. how does bill clinton continue that process? >> first, we have to go through roll kol. this starts 5:00 eastern time. it was originally the hour before. at any rate, they're going to go state by state. and we're expecting a bit of an uproar, right? >> some of the delegates will probably make themselves very known during roll call. we'll see what happens with that. i think people are working seriously to keep that under control. senator sanders has been all over the place talking to small groups of delegates, trying to keep them, you know, enthused about him. but starting to be enthused about her. at least not booing anymore. that could be just a really
12:10 pm
awkward situation for the nominee this evening. >> michelle, the first lady, didn't get too much booing last night. she's very, very, very popular. that would have been a weird one. if we heard an uproar of boos for michelle obama, i would have said they have a lot more trouble than we realize. >> exactly. some of the earlier speakers seemed concerned what they were hearing, the vibe from the floor. including senator warren, really taken aback by how much the supporters were so vocal and unhappy with clinton as the nominee. >> how big is the push and pull that jennifer and i were talking about whether bernie sanders goes to the delegation up here, just part of the process and how they fit in tonight? >> so far, our reporting isn't turning up that they're going to be the ones to nominate her. but we'll see. i think there's still lots of discussions under way. all eyes will be on that delegation, no matter what. so it would be an ainteresting turn of events --
12:11 pm
>> vermont has never had such a spotlight. i hope they're enjoying it. >> exactly. >> let's just say hypothetically hillary clinton ends up winning in november. how would it work to have two presidents living inside the white house? we talk about what it would be like in the world of presidents clinton. that's coming up. the democratic national convention live in philadelphia where it's cooler today. it feels like the temperature is down to 101 -- yeah. for lower back pain sufferers, the search for relief often leads to places like... this... this... or this. today, there's a new option. introducing drug-free aleve direct therapy. a tens dever that uses technology once only available in doctors' offices. its wireless remote lets you control the intensity, and helps you get back to things like... this... this... or this. and back to being yourself. introducing new aleve direct therapy.
12:12 pm
find yours in the pain relief aisle.
12:13 pm
you stay up. you listen. you laugh. you worry. you do whatever it takes to take care of your family. and when it's time to plan for your family's future, we're here for you. we're legalzoom, and for over 10 years we've helped families just like yours with wills and living trusts. so when you're ready, start with us. doing the right thing has never been easier.
12:14 pm
legalzoom. legal help is here. walking into the oval office in day one you would think is a pretty overwhelming experience for any new president. of course, if hillary clinton happens to win, she'd have somebody that knows the job well to help her out. but how much influence would bill clinton actually have in his wife's administration. shannon breen is here in philly. shannon. >> reporter: all right, this would be new in so many different ways, shep, because like analysts i talked to it would be like george washington being the first president. everything you do is going to be a first. there is some history to look back on as you consider strong spouses who contributed to a presidency. eleanor roosevelt. of course, you remember this first couple when they were last
12:15 pm
in the white house. hillary clinton took on a very strong role with health care reform and took some heat over that anyway. listen, there were those who thought at the time she was trying to be a co-president with bill clinton. if he does have a seat at the table there are those who may question, it looks as if she's a woman and needs some help or infesi ineffecti ineffective. she's going to have to make it clear if she wins that she's in charge. >> i think it's incredible important that she stresses from the get-go, that it is her agenda. that is her agenda. that she would be the person that the american people voted for so he would be playing just a supportive role. >> reporter: everyone i talked to agreed on a few things. listen, this guy is not going to be the one picking out china and giving tours of the garden, shep. >> but how big of a supportive role? >> reporter: well, it's interesting because there are those here on the left who say they actually don't want him to
12:16 pm
have too much of a role because they think she's much more progressive. he's much more moderate. and they don't want them getting slowed down in the process. and if you think about it during the primary season she was going to the left and that's where many people want her to stay. we do hear rumblings that if he had a seat of table, that that's where she stays. and undoubtedly, he's going to have influence. just how much, says karl rove, that's up to her. >> i think he's going to want to be in it up to his armpits. the question is does she want it and does the american people want it? does she want it may be a question because hillary clinton by all standards is much more liberal than he is. >> reporter: there are also questions about the clinton foundation, exactly how that would be handled. it's a great area for a lot of people when it comes to hard and
12:17 pm
fast balls and rules. shep. >> shannon bream, live over outside the newsroom. shannon, thank you. we sent kennedy out to the crowds. which is dangerous. we sent her to talk to bernie sanders. and a lot of them are apparently ticked off about how this unfolded. we'll hear from her. of kennedy fame as protests are live from the dnc.

the sun. the solar impulse 2 landed in abu dhabi where it first took off a year ago. it made 16 spots without a drop of fuel. and the production company that worked on star wars the force awakens, harrison ford hit himself on a door. the news continues with shep in philadelphia right after this. s searching for ways to manage my symptoms. i thought i had it covered. then i realized managing was all i was doing. when i finally told my doctor, he said humira was for people like me who have tried other medications,... but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe crohn's disease. in clinical studies, the majority of patients on humira saw significant symptom relief... ...and many achieved remission. humira can lower your ability to fight infections... ...including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers,... including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems,

12:32 pm
♪ so, i'm loving the whole warmup thing going on here. i told you a minute ago about the woman who is the mike check person for alicia keys who is still up there. she's much more than a mike check person and i'm an idiot. she's whitney keaton and she and her partner ray who is there
12:33 pm
with the blown-out hair with the big fro. if you watch "america's got talent" you probably got tweets about this. they are a big deal. they just got eliminated in the judge's section cuts from "america's got talent." these two got talent. she was singing "this girl's on fire" during the break. if it happens -- we'll listen -- because because we can, really. donald trump says if he becomes president, veterans can call the white house at anytime to complain about the veterans affairs administration. told he told the veterans of foreign wars in charlotte, north carolina, he might stop tweeting at night to help answer calls. >> i will create a private white house hotline. this could keep me very busy at night, folks. this will take the place of twitter.
12:34 pm
there's a lot of truth to that. that is answered by a real person 24 hours a day -- >> well, more than 9 million veterans did use va services so he may night a lot of help. hillary clinton folk to the vfw yesterday and she said she has a plan to reform the va after she calls heartbreaking and unacceptable situations while veterans died waiting for appointment. carl cameron is live in charlotte. what else did donald trump say? >> well, she said, she doesn't understand people who trash talk america and that was a direct shot at donald trump. trump outlined his ten-point plan for the va. he mentioned his hotline. by the way, the va has all kind of hotlines and help lines. and he painted a very, very dark
12:35 pm
picture of just how bad things have gotten at the va. watch. >> yet our politicians have totally failed you. our most basic commitment to provide health and medical care to those who fought for us so bravely, has been violated completely. the va scandal that's occurring are widespread and totally inexcusable. >> reporter: then he went on to say that hillary clinton once downplayed them and said they were not as widespread as they clearly are. and this really is a bipartisan issue. the they've been trying to do something for years and years and it gets worse. shep. >> what's he saying about america's commitment to nato? is there a new line today? >> reporter: well, it's interesting the north atlantic treaty association is widely considered to be one of the most
12:36 pm
important alliances in history because it effectively stopped the aggression and led to the fall of the soviet union. a lot of these vfw folks have been involved in foreign wars either directly or indirectly with nato. like said before, as other foreign policies and nations, she's going to insist that they pay for our services. in other words, coming to the security guarantees in the nato treaties would not necessarily be the case, unless the u.s. has paid for its military work and potential the loss of life and treasure and fighting for those other countries, shep. >> carl cameron, in c.o.t., thank you, sir. in this city, to nominate a presidential candidate, the year was 1948. and the candidate was harry s. truman. he was down in the polls at the time and feeling the heat in more ways than one as southerners once again rebelled. >> and we bid you good-bye.
12:37 pm
>> reporter: delegates from alabama and mississippi stormed out of the convention hall in protest, after the party adopted a civil rights platform supporting an anti-lynching mob, the desegregation of the military, equal opportunity for employment. and the elimination of poll taxes which prevented poor people from voting. >> this was a pivotal moment in the life of the democratic party. and resulted in the birth of what we considered to be the modern democratic party. >> reporter: the historical society of pennsylvania keeps a collection of memorabilia from the event. >> here's the official program of the democratic national convention. >> reporter: the city of brotherly love played a key role in the 1948 election. both major parties held their conventions here to maximize television coverage. philadelphia was at the center of a video cable workers had recently installed between
12:38 pm
boston and richmond, virginia. cameras for the first time could transmit video of the proceedings to viewers all at once. >> it was a major technological event. imagine the excitement of people back home on their philco televisions watching history roll out in front of them. >> reporter: but the magic may have been lost on folks who were actually here. there weren't enough hotel rooms in the city so many people had to stay up to 50 miles away. plus, conditions were far from ideal. >> in that brief period, philadelphia was brutally hot. >> reporter: temperatures inside the crowded convention hall reportedly topped 100 degrees. the first aid station treated dozens upon dozens of cases of heat exhaustion but no one felt the heat quite like harry s. truman.former oklahoma senator paved serious is challenges he was the sitting president but not the one voters elected having taken over after the
12:39 pm
death of roosevelt four years early. >> harry s. truman took the overal as president of the united states. with a world at war, he accepted the gravest responsibility in world history. a new commander thin chief to ld our nation. >> reporter: the nation had achieved victory but it appeared millions were ready for the change. a poll showed only one-third of voters approved of the job he was doing as he accepted the nomination. >> i can't tell you how very much i appreciate the honor which has just compart upon me. i shall continue to try to observe it. >> reporter: yet it seems little is going truman's way. his running mate alvin barkley wasn't his first choice. an supreme court justice douglas turned him down the southern delegates walked out. and the entire convention was running behind schedule. >> you would have had to stay up very late that night to hear his
12:40 pm
speech, because it didn't happen until 2:00 in the morning. >> reporter: but when it did happen, truman galvanized voters for a speech for failing to act ton issues like civil rights. >> we'll win this election and make these republicans like it, don't you forget that. >> reporter: after the convention, truman took his message to the people. >> blazing away. >> reporter: traveling 22,000 miles across the country by train, delivering up to 13 speeches a day. in what a rival mocked as whistle stop tours. >> we're going to win this crusade for the right. >> reporter: meanwhile, down south, delegates who walked out of the democratic convention formed their own party. >> the resvelte against president truman reached its climax. >> reporter: the so-called dixie
12:41 pm
rats. >> not enough fruits for the people for desegregation and admit into our theaters into our swimming homes and into our treasures. >> reporter: as election day approached, major had the republican nominee dewey leading up to 15 points. "the washington post" reported truman is destined to also ran on election day. and indeed as the chicago tribune went to press on election night, the headline declared "dewey defeats truman." but the paper and the polls were wrong. truman won the popular vote capturing 28 of the 48 states. dewey won 16 states while strom thurman captured four. >> people wants consistency. >> more than 1 million people
12:42 pm
came to the white house to honor the president. who punched his way almost single-handedly to a memorial victory. >> historians call it one of the greatest political comebacks of all time. and it started right here in philadelphia, the last time democrats were here, 68 years ago. the party dealing with some drama this time around, too. i'll talk with a democratic strategist and bernie sanders supporter who says the dnc needs to stop running the dnc like a show out of north korea. we put together a package from martin, he's leaving for cbs. alicia keys is up there at the drums. i said she wasn't coming for sound check, apparently she came for sound check. i don't know if she sings, we're going to listen -- for sure. hang on. .
12:43 pm
. . .
12:44 pm
12:45 pm
despite all the calls for
12:46 pm
democrats to come together already, one bernie sanders support warns today will be even more rowdy than yesterday? huh. bernie sanders told delegates from wisconsin saying this is an unbelievable critical moment as he put it for democrats and urged supporters to back hillary clinton. but our next guest said it's not supporters job to back hillary clinton. it's hers. she better get to work. here is nicki konst. >> we did have a democratic platform meeting. two unity amendments at that platform meeting one which was announced two days later and a rules committee that decided to do a unity commission to put it off. but these people in the room have raised room.
12:47 pm
they've had gofundme pages to come to the convention. and pay $2500 a week in hotel bills. these are working people who want to be delegates. and it's very different than the usual suspects of the dnc which is a lot of donors and establishment workers. >> they're here, too. >> they're here, too. but sitting next to each other. i think hillary needs to channel a little bit and feel their pain. and understand that these are people who have been fighting for bernie sanders. they represent the communities. they represent the issues of the communities and bernie sanders is a vehicle for them. she needs to drive that vehicle. she needs to get in charge and understand exactly where they're going. they're going to push somewhere. they're looking for some outlet. and right now because every day we learn there's not going to be a vote here. there's not going to be a vote here. >> the senate would say, he lost, shut up. >> right. >> that's kind of how it seems
12:48 pm
to work in that other party, he lost, shut up. but here, we got a couch out. wire democrats like that? >> i they've been like that in the past. we've had a pretty fair run of delegates. and we know that the dnc was supporting hillary clinton years out. jesse jackson reformed the party with far less than that vote. ted kennedy got in that position of creating superdelegates when he ran against jimmy carter. he didn't get 46% of the votes. bernie sanders has 46% of the delegates. and it's a populist movement. it's not a barack obama/hillary clinton where the establishment was split. this is the party that want a more reflective party. these people hurt and they want to see change. >> in the republican convention last week, the big money fat cats were not there at all.
12:49 pm
