cruz. still unclear at this hour whether he'll endorse the nominee. >> peter alexander, thank you very much. you may have been following, a bit of a side story going on whether parts of melania trump's trump monday night was plagiarized. for a moment last night, similar allegations aimed at donald trump jr. they were quickly explained. nbc's hallie jackson has more on all of that. hallie, good morning. >> reporter: hi, savannah. good morning. with the stage now set for night three of the gop convention, new details are emerging about that night one speech from melania trump that you mentioned, and accusations that she plagiarized some passages from michelle obama. it's why when donald trump jr. said a few lines last night that seemed similar to someone else's work, the initial reaction, not again. turns out it wasn't quite plagiarism, maybe a bit of recycling with the trump campaign now pushing back. a false alarm spreading fast online after the "daily show" tweeted similarities between

donald trump jr.'s speech and the column by conservative writer frank buckley. >> our schools used to be an elevator to the middle class, now they're stalled on the ground floor. >> reporter: turns out, buckley tells nbc news, i was a principal speechwrites e-- speechwriter for the speech, it's not an issue." it's not clear who's behind melania trump's speech, similar to michelle obama speech. sources tell nbc news the trump team hired veteran speechwriter matthew skully to craft those remarks. the draft submitted shows none of the passages in question. a senior trump aide telling nbc news, that draft was mostly rejected, but remaining tight-lipped about who added these lines -- >> the values. >> you work hard. >> you work hard for what you want in life. >> that your word is your bond and you do what you say. >> and you do what you say -- >> reporter: donald trump jr. defending his stepmother.

>> works with speechwriters to get something happening, and that's it. >> reporter: even as top trump aides and surrogates first argued there wasn't any cribbing, just common cliches. >> things like care, respect and compassion, you know, those are not extraordinary words. >> a simple google search of three phrases comes up with everything from sparkle to john ledge end to notorious b.i. g. >> reporter: turn it in dotcom found 6% of trump's speech matched the first lady's eight years ago. word for word, trump used 23 of the same words in a row that obama did. and this morning it's still not clear who's responsible for adding those passages to melania trump's speech. although some reports indicate it may have had something to do with a former ballet dancer with longtime ties to the trump family working with mrs. troump that. -- trump on that. in the meantime, a lot of eyes on eric trump who will take the stage tonight. matt and savannah, i just spoke

with him here on the convention floor, he says his goal tonight, to explain the "why." why people should vote for his father. >> hallie, thank you, from the convention floor. let us bring in nicole and mark. good morning. 24 hours ago we sat and knew exactly the headline. all about that speech we just talked about. what is the headline this morning? >> learning that donald trump jr. and chris christie begin to calm the jittery nerves of the gop. >> and donald trump is the official republican nominee has changed his psychology a little bit. not got the party fully united but it moving towards a little bit of a normal situation where it's the red team against the blue team. >> let's talk about the speeches last night. donald trump jr. had a difficult job, and in a way he took on more than he needed to, but it seemed like he delivered. not only did he do the character witness for his father, which most children of a candidate would do, he also made a policy argument, and also took on hillary clinton. do you think it was effective? >> you know, i do, and i think -- we've you talked about the family all week because

they've been thrust into controversy, not willingly, but, you know, donald trump jr. did what every kid of a politician is able to do. they have more goodwill than the candidate themselves. all the ickiness attaching inside to a candidate does not attach to a kid. he took a risk, but pulled it off. a talented messenger. >> and one of the speeches, governor chris christie, sometimes prosecuting, literally and figuratively, hillary clinton, and it brought out a lot of the anger that we've been talking about over the course of this campaign that is in the electorate. we heard it in their chants of "lock her up" and "guilty," does that anger work at an event like this? >> a lot of republicans, even trump supporters didn't like the chant, thought they maybe went a little too far. the reality is, donald trump probably couldn't beat any other democrat running for president but for hillary clinton because of her weaknesses on issues and chris christie talked about that.

trust and honesty. if they're going to win, people like chris christie and donald trump saying to the country, you can't be for hillary clinton. that's the only alternative. went too far for some, but that's the emotion. politics rely a lot on emotion. >> and nicole, the speeches have been a lot about hillary clinton, as much, if not more, about a takedown of hillary clinton, and a positive case for donald trump. hillary clinton has high negatives. so is this effective in terms of flush could out for people, okay, this is why you don't feel good about her, or go too far? does it overestimate how much people don't care for hillary clinton? >> i think we underestimate the power of negative messaging. campaigns are -- it's sort of a fantasy and you start to -- you have to raise your positives. in this campaign, in this climate, with these candidates, it's never going to happen. this is going to be an incredibly negative campaign.

both candidates of vulnerable on their negatives, so neither campaign will spend time propping up their own positives. >> negative against trump and -- >> negative, and i think the chanting was bad, but i think it will be canceled out next week by equally uncomfortable moments with the democrats at their convention. >> we are at halftime. the middle point of the convention. if you're an undecided voter sitting at home, dipping in and out of watching the convention, feeling better about trump as a possible president or worse? >> i think just on donald trump jr.'s speech alone, for some people, better. this is going to rely upon two speeches above all else. tonight we hear from newt gingrich and mike pence. but i think ivanka trump and donald trump thursday will tell a lot more than the prelude of the first three nights. >> thank you very much. we'll hear more from here at the rnc just ahead. remember, catch complete coverage all day on msnbc and live in primetime tonight, 10:00 eastern. 7:00 pacific here on nbc.

>> looking flowy and beautiful. >> thank you. >> mistakes to avoid if we just know about them ahead of time. am i right? >> you have know what they are. the biggest once, not knowing what you're worth and not asking for it. the pay gap is still enormous. yesterday the white house unveiled seven apps that can help you learn how to negotiate and learn what your personal pay gap is. >> so let me ask you this. i'm at work. going about my business. i don't know mary sue or bill is making. how do i find out if i'm underpaid? >> first of all, hit the internet and do a little research on your title, your position. what you should be making. but then you talk to mary sue or you talk to bill one on one. >> ask them? >> yes. >> millennials are really, really open about this stuff. so we need to take a lesson from our daughters here. >> and also, quickly, the right way to ask. i think sometimes we go in, i'm sorry, i know this is not a good time, but -- >> or, i need a raise. k4 is the wrong thing to do. it's all about what you do for your company. i've increased sales.

i've added to the bottom line. i've helped your business. now it's time for you to help me. >> smart. the next mistake we make, we let other people manage or money. >> 25% say they are the lead are in the family finances and more than half don't participate at all. a huge problem. 90% of us will be alone at some minute to our life are and need to know how to do this before we have an issue. three things to get a grip on, what do you earn, what do you own and what do you owe? if you want a forth, where is it. >> once you know all that? is that enough, just to have the knowledge? >> no. then dive in and take one step at a time. pay some bills. look at rebalancing the 40 k 0 >> a spouse in the workforce, you can still have your own i.r.a. >> next, this struck me at funny. putting your kids before yourself. something we never do. >> right. so putting your kids before yourself is a problem when it

comes to college versus retirement. i can say until i'm blue in the face that retirement comes first, and i know there are millions of people out there not listening to me. >> yes. >> so if you're going to put college before retirement, open a roth i.r.a., because you can fund that account first, and then down the road you can decide what to do with the money. if the problem is that you're still bailing out your adult kids, and they are 20, 25, 30 years old, you want to sit down and you want to have a discussion where you make a plan for how to get them off the payroll and explain to them, if you can't take care of you now, then down the road, they're going to have to take care of you. >> go back. i skipped a good one. we don't take enough risks. we go safe. >> we go safe. more women leave their investment stash in cash. that's a problem. if you've got too much money in cash you are going to be earning nothing. in fact, you'll be losing money after taxes and -- >> put it in the stock market? >> you should. put it in the stock market. if you're mot sure how to do it,

the vehicle to use is a target date retirement fund which is like a set it and forget it investment. you can put all your money in it. it will adjust the risk as you age. >> and one thing we have to stop doing is, when we need retail therapy, we just go and shop our brains out. >> right. men do this, too, by the way, only 40% of them cop to it. 64% of women say they do it. if you indulge in this behavior a little too often while in the store, ask yourself, why am i doing this? where am i going to put it? what happens if i don't buy it, and a week amp you bought it, go back and say, how do i feel about it now? you'll learn that lesson. hopefully you can get yourself to leave the tags on a solid week and then, just return it. >> okay. all right. jean, thanks so much. you can always find jean's great advice on the website today.com. back with more from new york and cleveland, but first, this is "today" on nbc. .
