of what you say you're going to do. >> that your word is your bond and you do what you say and keep your promise, that you treat people with respect. >> because we want our children and all children in this nation to know that the only limit to the height of your achievements is the reach of your dreams and willingness to ward hard for them. >> because we want our children in this nation to know that the only limits is the strength of your dreams and your willingness to work for them. >> following melania's speech. his campaign released this statement saying quote in writing her beautiful speech her team of writers took note of her life, inspirations and included

fragments that reflected her own thinking. her love for america showed through which made it a success. the team contradicts what melania said when she had very little help with it. donald and melania were on hand for that interview. take a listen. >> reporter: you guys have flown on this plane, did this flight feel different? >> a little bit. there is a little bit of energy right next to us in that hall. >> reporter: is it surreal to be here? we talked about this week for so long. is it surreal? >> i think so. the real accomplishment, you know what it is, make america great again. it is a lot of work. it's a lot of activity but i will say, you see that hall. you see the kind of enthusiasm

they have. it is make america great and safe again. >> reporter: one part ends and another part begins. your wife is going to get to speak to the delegates about you. >> right. >> reporter: has she gone over the speech with you? did you go over it on the plane? >> i wrote it with a little help as possible. >> reporter: are you nervous? >> i'm excited. >> reporter: what do you want to tell the delegates that they haven't learn in the last year? >> well, i will tell it in the speech. >> she is good. she learned a lot from you. >> he is an amazing guy. he really wants to bring america to a next level. >> the full interview set to air this morning on the today show. it was also full of rousing

speeches. rudy giuliani serving as trump's strongest defender of the night. >> i have known donald trump for almost 30 years and he has created and accomplished great things. i am telling you this because i am sick and tired of the defamation of donald trump by the media and by the clinton campaign. i am sick and tired of it. this is a good man. >> the first day of the convention was meant to be a show of unity but it was for from it. anti-trump delegates erupted called for a recorded vote in an effort to block trump from the

nomination before melania's headline-making speech. >> the question is on adoption of the resolution. all those in favor say i, all those opposed no. the i's have it and agreed to. the motion to reconsider is laid upon the table. >> at one point the entire colorado delegation took the extraordinary step of walking out of the convention all together and ultimately the chairman of the convention said there was not enough support to proceed. >> the chair has found insufficient support for request for a record vote. >> and reaction from prominent republicans was swift.

>> the chairman of the convention walked up the stage, left it completely unattended for five or ten minutes. >> they rolled through. they cheated. they cheated. that's what you just saw. you saw them violate their own rules. >> it came as 500 demonstrators marched nearly a mile and a half. they were protesting against the rnc and donald trump. with black lives matters code pink, abortions groups and others represented. the trump campaign is responding. tracie potts is live. what is the campaign saying about melania trump's speech? >> reporter: in the last half hour we are hearing. he said on cnn these were common words and values. she cares about her value. there is no cribbing of michelle

obama's speech. common words, cares about her family. she was speaking in front of 35 million people. he goes onto say it is really absurd to think she copied that speech. moving onto today, the focus will be making america work again. that's their theme, focusing on obamacare and even targeting hillary clinton. some headliners will be chris christie, the governor that was one of his vice presidential picks mcconnel and we'll hear from a couple to of donald trump's children today. >> thank you so much for that. also, a reminder that nbc news will have special live coverage of the republican
