trump's big night began without a fog machine or a chopper landing. he simply strode on stage giving a kiss to his daughter, ivanka. >> usa. i humbly and gratefully accept your nomination for the presidency of the united states. >> reporter: in his acceptance speech he painted a dark picture of an america beset by threats at home and abroad, and he presented himself as the savior. >> the crime and violence that today afflicts our nation will soon, and i mean very soon, come to an end. beginning on january 20th of 2017, safety will be restored. >> reporter: he doubled down on his signature campaign promise. >> we are going to build a great border wall to stop illegal immigration.

the country, it didn't damper the excitement in the room. >> the crowd didn't seem to mind. breaking out in chants of "usa" and "build that wall." marci gonzalez has the latest from cleveland. marci, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. >> we watched it on tv. you could kind of get a sense of the energy. i was following your twitter. i noticed you were there in the arena itself. how did it play? >> reporter: yeah. i think the energy matched what you saw on tv. people in the crowd here who were energized and enthusiastic. another chant was yes, you will, when he made promises of what he'll do as president. he got really big reactions when he talked about police and the military and creating jobs. all very big reactions, and there was a quote. he said that he was going to

make america bigger, better, and stronger than ever before, and he got a standing ovation at that point. >> and marci, we saw him get interrupted by a protester today. it was the scene like in terms of protests in general in the final day of convention. >> reporter: we'll talk about the protests outside. that was a very big concern. that's something police have been prepares for for more than a year, putting up fences and barricades. they had about 2,500 officers on patrol, and while there were some protests yesterday, they all remained peaceful. there were no arrests. at one of the protests, our team said there were more media and police than there were demonstrators. as for the protester you mentioned inside of the arena, it was someone from a group called code pink. they were behind some of the other interruptions at some of the other events this week. that woman was holding up a banner that said build bridges, not walls. she held onto the edge, resisting being taken away. donald trump paused for a moment because there was a lot of

commotion at this point, and then he said -- how great are our police? how great is cleveland, and the crowd went wild, and, again, he got another standing ovation at that point. >> the crowd no doubt ate it up. >> it's almost like he was prepared with exactly what to say at that moment. >> i think he was, and bravo to the cleveland police department for keeping things safe throughout the week. marci gonzalez there at the q. thank you. coming up in this half hour, much more from cleveland including new reaction about ivanka trump's speech. we want to get to the other major story we're following this morning, the dangerous heat scorching the nation from coast to coast. more than 100 million americans sweltering under temperatures of 95 degrees to over 100. >> the conditions are intensifying for anyone working outside where the heat index could climb to 115 degrees in some places. there are advisories and watches and warnings in effect almost everywhere. the big question, of course, is

said to "the new york times" about nato. he declared that if he becomes president that the u.s. will defend nato countries only if those countries contribute their fair share to the nato budget, that he would otherwise tell them to defend themselves. last night perhaps he was seeking to clarify. he said, "recently i said nato was obsolete because it didn't proper cover terror and pay its fair share." it was announced that nato would be setting up a new program to combat terrorism. he called it a true step in the right direction. not completely clarifying it. >> let's talk about the big moment after the speech. everyone on stage. there was kind of -- i thought it was a strange music choice. rolling stones, "you can't always get what you want." the story behind all that? >> reporter: i thought the exact same thing. i wondered if it was me or was it a strange song to be playing. i think he was maybe trying to

be optimistic, saying maybe the focus is more on the second part of the song, getting what you need. someone on twitter said maybe this is something that's supposed to fly in the face of ted cruz. this is a song that trump plays pretty often at his events. the rolling stones aren't too happy about it. in the past they asked him not to use their music. >> trump defiant, even in his music choice. >> a lot of balloons. i'm sure they're still cleaning up. >> reporter: they are still cleaning up. >> marci, thanks so much. and time for some political analysis now. rick kline is being pretty blunt, calling the convention address, quote, generally a bummer of a speech. >> he says trump presented himself last night as something of an angry savior. so let's have rick speak for himself. good morning, rick.

>> reporter: diane and kendis, a grim end to the republican national convention with a donald trump speech that meandered through a parade of horribles. a negative speech about the state of affairs in the world. donald trump trying to channel the anger of the american people into something productive. anger at immigration and trade issues, anger at wars. anger at hillary clinton. all of those things wrapped into one package by donald trump, trying to reclaim a convention he went away from message on. this is a period at the end of a very long run-on sentence for him. now on to the democratic convention. >> a couple quick reflection. one said it was a great speech. people calling it too dark. don't know the mood of the country. but octavia spencer, the actress, said, "is this the hunger games"?

>> trump vowed to restore law and order across the country and also promised to protect police officers. as the democrats prepare to kick off their convention next week, they're already being accused of overlooking law enforcement. adrienne bankert joins us with the details. what can we expect in the counter? >> reporter: it's interesting to her rick's commentary. i think a lot of people are seeing a darker tomorrow with their communities. we've seen a lot of police violence and a lot of violence against black men on video. a philadelphia police union upset that hillary clinton is having family members of blacks killed by police speak at the dnc but did not reach out for family members of slain police officers to speak. race relations, law enforcement killings are topics that the candidates have not ignored. here's what donald trump said at the final night of the republican national convention. >> immediately after dallas we've seen continued threats and violence against our law enforcement officials. an attack on law enforcement is an attack on all americans.

>> so the scorching, humid conditions are especially dangerous for those working outdoors. hot weather is typical for july, but the heat dome is steaming things up more than usual. the heat also triggered violent storms, damaging rain and wind roaring through minnesota and wisconsin, tearing roofer tops apart and knocking down power lines. falling trees are blamed for killing two people and injuring two others at a boy scout camp. >> more extreme heat and humidity in store for today. the heat dome will continue to hang over the central part of the country, and now expanding east over the atlantic. severe storms moving. into new england with tornadoes and flash flooding. into florida it will be hot and dry in the west. >> take a look at the temperature map. mostly 90s and 100s almost everywhere. 113 in phoenix for that dry heat.

few ways? >> that's a nice way to think about it. nice. >> i know, she's like -- can we all get along? >> you know, out of all the speakers, ivanka trump did have the most optimism, the most unity. she came out to the song "here comes the sun." and twitter was ablaze with complimentary comments from republicans and democrats. >> our political guy said that lg lgbtq was mentioned more than god in the speech. >> that's a first for the republican candidate i'm guessing. >> i agree. >> great to have you with us here all week. >> we do have more from cleveland and here throughout the morning later on america this morning as well as good morning america. now to our other top story, the dangerous blast, sweltering heat and humidity affecting more than 100 million americans. the scorching conditions from coast to coast and from canada down to the gulf of mexico.

out a litany of problems facing the country, it didn't damper the excitement in the room. >> the crowd didn't seem to mind. breaking out in chants of "usa" and "build that wall." marci gonzalez has the latest from cleveland. marci, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. >> we watched it on tv. you could kind of get a sense of the energy. i was following your twitter. i noticed you were there in the arena itself. how did it play? >> reporter: yeah. i think the energy matched what you saw on tv. people in the crowd here who were energized and enthusiastic. another chant was yes, you will, when he made promises of what he'll do as president. he got really big reactions when he talked about police and the military and creating jobs. all very big reactions, and there was a quote. he said that he was going to

make america bigger, better, and stronger than ever before, and he got a standing ovation at that point. >> and marci, we saw him get interrupted by a protester today. it was the scene like in terms of protests in general in the final day of convention. >> reporter: we'll talk about the protests outside. that was a very big concern. that's something police have been prepares for for more than a year, putting up fences and barricades. they had about 2,500 officers on patrol, and while there were some protests yesterday, they all remained peaceful. there were no arrests. at one of the protests, our team said there were more media and police than there were demonstrators. as for the protester you mentioned inside of the arena, it was someone from a group called code pink. they were behind some of the other interruptions at some of the other events this week. that woman was holding up a banner that said build bridges, not walls. she held onto the edge, resisting being taken away. donald trump paused for a moment because there was a lot of

commotion at this point, and then he said -- how great are our police? how great is cleveland, and the crowd went wild, and, again, he got another standing ovation at that point. >> the crowd no doubt ate it up. >> it's almost like he was prepared with exactly what to say at that moment. >> i think he was, and bravo to the cleveland police department for keeping things safe throughout the week. marci gonzalez there at the q. thank you. coming up in this half hour, much more from cleveland including new reaction about ivanka trump's speech. we want to get to the other major story we're following this morning, the dangerous heat scorching the nation from coast to coast. more than 100 million americans sweltering under temperatures of 95 degrees to over 100. >> the conditions are intensifying for anyone working outside where the heat index could climb to 115 degrees in some places. there are advisories and watches and warnings in effect almost everywhere. the big question, of course, is
