give the speech of his life tonight, we talk to the woman who will introduce him and ask can he get things back on track today, thursday, july 21st, 2016. >> announcer: from nbc news, this is a special edition of "today." at the republican national convention with matt lauer and savannah guthrie live from cleveland. good morning, everybody. welcome to "today." it's thursday morning. we're here at the republican convention here in cleveland and who was it that said conventions are boring, scripted affairs, nothing happens. >> take the word boring off of the list. this thing is not boring at all. it's the fourth and final day of the convention and should be a really big one for donald trump. this morning it is that snub, his primary rival ted cruz, delivering a snub that everyone is talking about. >> it was quite a moment on the floor. i was there. cruz was booed and then donald trump sweeps in and steals the moment.

by the way, we'll talk to ivanka trump later on about what she thinks about her speech tonight and the whole melania speech controversy. >> big night for her. you mentioned earlier, ted cruz had the room for the bulk of that speech until that moment where he did not endorse. >> the crowd didn't like that one bit. we have a lot to get to. let's start with nbc national correspondent peter alexander. hey, peter, good morning to you. >> they say they have never seen a convention quite like this. so much for party unity within the last few minutes ted cruz for the first time addressed those comments about donald trump, the billionaire and reality tv star just hours away from facing the biggest audience of his life. ahead of donald trump's night, an even billed as the republican ticket's debut. >> i accept your nomination to run and serve as vice president of the united states of america. >> reporter: trump joining indiana governor mike pence on

stage, the new running mate, trading handshake for an air kiss before trump walked off. >> we will make america great again. >> reporter: overshadowing their triumphant moment, a cruz missile. >> i want to congratulate donald trump on winning the nomination last night. >> announcer: after a rousing and powerful speech, ted cruz refusing to endorse his party's nominee. >> don't stay home in november. stand and speak and vote your conscience. >> reporter: the convention floor erupting in a chorus of loud boos. the trump family watching from the vip box in silence. >> i appreciate the enthusiasm of the new york delegation. >> reporter: as cruz was jeered off stage, his wife was escorted off the floor out of concerns for her safety. punctuating the drama, trump heard his son eric stepping on

the end of cruz's speech. >> wow. wow. >> eric trump capturing in few words what most were thinking before showering his father in praise. >> you are my hero. you are my best friend. you are the next president of the united states. >> reporter: this morning speaking to the texas delegation, cruz defended his remarks, saying he had given the trump campaign plenty of heads up and didn't rule out an endorsement in the future. >> what i don't intend to do is go out and -- i don't intend to criticize donald. i intend, like a voter, like all of us just to listen and make the best judgment i can. >> reporter: as for pence the mild mannered good western displaying warmth and self deprecating humor. know me, which is most of you. >> reporter: taking on trump's

democratic opponent. >> hillary clinton wants a new title and i would too if i was the secretary of the status quo. >> when donald trump becomes president of the united states of america, the change will be huge. >> reporter: one example trump talking to "the new york times" this morning saying as president he wouldn't automatically come to the defense of nato allies as required by the alliances charter. if russia attacked its baltic neighbors, trump says he would decide whether to come to their aid only after reviewing whether those countries have fulfilled their obligations to us. the clinton campaign blasting those comments overnight, saying the president is supposed to be the leader of the free world. donald trump apparently doesn't even believe in the free world. matt and savannah, a big night ahead. we'll see you there. >> peter alexander on the floor at the q. thank you. >> let's get more on how ted cruz's nonendorsement is playing with delegates, donors and donald trump himself. nbc hallie jackson has that pa

of the story. hi, good morning. >> good morning to you, matt. we spent most of ted cruz's speech back in the texas section here where the delegates were on their feet the entire time. but when ted cruz said those words, vote your conscience, many seemed stunned. the real furry coming from the new york delegation, anger and shock and another episode of chaos here in cleveland. donald trump's review now in. >> that was a remarkable moment. what did you think? >> i loved it. >> trying to brush off ted cruz's refusal to endorse him, trump tweeting, wow, ted cruz got booed off the stage. didn't honor the pledge. i saw his speech two hours early but let him speak any way. no big deal. some trump supporters think oerz. >> to me ted cruz showed america what he really. he is a fraud. he is a liar. he is self centered and disqualified himself for ever being considered for president of the united states. >> i just think it was an awful

performance by someone who showed himself tonight to not be a man of his word. >> reporter: cruz, returning to his hotel overnight to hug and cheers some texas delegates supportive of his on stage stance. this isn't my party. we don't do this. we might disagree. we can talk it out. but we don't do this to each other. we certainly do not do it to a u.s. senator's wife. >> the trump batting down questions about party unity. >> everyone booing him off stage because i think everyone else in here has the sense to realize the number one goal is to make sure we beat hillary clinton. >> reporter: cruz and trump's relationship over the last year a roller coaster ride. the texas senator embracing trump in the early part of the primary, memorably tweeting he is terrific, #dealwithit. >> things changed as trump amped it. >> we call him lying ted.

>> reporter: coming to a head after trump retweeted a photo of his wife. >> reporter: will you support him as the nominee? >> i'm going to beat him. >> he didn't beat trump in indiana. the cruz campaign's final blow. >> we gave it everything we've got. but the voters chose another path. >> reporter: coming just hours after trump insinuated cruz's father played a part in fact assassination of john f. kennedy. his mess ang here on stage aimed not just at the delegates here but at conservative grass roots republicans around the country, cruz may face fallouts from some big money republicans which reports this morning he may have been denied entry to one of the donor suites here in the arena. matt, savannah. >> thank you very much. >> paul manafort is the chairman of the trump campaign. paul, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> anything happen last night? >> quiet evening in the trump world.

>> peter king said he is a liar, chris christie said he was self center. do you agree with all of the above? >> look, donald trump wanted to demonstrate to both his opponents in the primaries and republican party and to the american people that he views the primary process as over. he invited his opponent to speak at this convention. his invitation had no conditions to it. he wasn't asking for endorsements. most people understood what it meant. so people like governor walker and marco rubio and others who spoke you know, said in various capacities plan to support the republican ticket. ted cruz took a different path. >> two schools of thought. one school says he should have never let this happen, knowing that he was going to use the words vote your conscience. there's no reason to give that spot to him on a wednesday night. the other school is you guys are crazy like foxes and you knew when he said those words that would be the reaction on the floor and it would be one of the more unifying moments of the convention so far.

>> well, i'm not sure, but as far as i'm concerned the party is unified. last night despite what senator cruz did the party came together because they see that donald trump is making an effort. you saw paul ryan with a great introduction of vice president to be pence. you saw -- tonight you will see a fantastic speech by trump. >> you said in the last 24 hours you thought ted cruz would be part of this campaign. moving forward i would assume this morning you will retract those words? >> it's up to ted cruz not up to me. >> you would let him come back and be part of the campaign? >> our position is we want to embrace all republicans who are prepared to work and support trump/pence ticket. >> even after he betrayed that goodwill you just talked about? >> i think cruz used very bad judgment. he didn't meet them. >> let me just go back to

something we talked to you about on monday morning or tuesday morning excuse me the morning after melania trump's speech where it was widely believed she had plagiarized portions of that speech. you came on to other shows and this show and said, no, there nofs plagiarizing, there was no cribbing. you even went as far as to blame hillary clinton. we now know in the last 24 hours it was a mistake on the part of the speech writer. that person has taken blame for it. when you said when hillary clinton is threatened by a female, the first thing she does is try to destroy that person. would you offer secretary clinton an apology for blaming her? >> look, first of all, you have to put the situation in context. it wasn't the speech writer. this is something -- >> part of the trump campaign. >> i didn't even know she was involved in the process. when i spoke to melania trump, she said that she believes and still does that she did not put those words in there. she did not know that they were words from michelle obama her specific words. >> go ahead. >> prior to that statement said

the exact opposite and trump knew two days ago that in fact melania had sent this speech. the question is really not about whether she did or she didn't it's really a matter of candor and whether you knew that that came from michelle obama's speech. >> i did not know. i was told by mrs. trump and believe mrs. trump -- she personally put those words in that speech. as far as by mrs. mciver is concerned, i didn't know her existence. i asked the speech writers -- they said no. i asked mrs. trump, she said no. as far as i was concerned -- there was that was my position. >> huge tonight for your candidate. what is he going to say? what do you want him to say? >> he can speak to the american people. he understands the magnitude of his speech. he understands this is his moment to speak to 40 or 50 million people and assess his vision of the country. during the course of the campaign, he's distinguished himself from republicans as far as getting the nomination, but now he will be distinguishing

himself and talking about change versus the establishment and he is the change agent. >> paul manafort, thanks for your time this morning. >> appreciate it. given last night's chaos, tonight's theme is well timed. it's called make america one again. the gop saying speakers will tackle ways to turn challenges into opportunities and focus on what units us not what divides us. >> again the highlight of the evening, donald trump accepting the republican party's nomination for president. as we mentioned, he'll be introduced by his daughter ivanka. we speak to her later. let's bring in nicole wallace and mike murphy. good morning to both you've. what happened last night? >> well, something we've never seen before. it's one thing to be not endorse trump but to get on the podium before the vice presidential nominee, pull a lightning bolt out of your pocket and throw it to trump's eyes. cruz blew himself up. will cruz be able to say purity on ideology and purity on trump. very risky, big move. does it hurt trump?

it does not help. we'll see how trump does tonight. that's what counts. >> nicole, you take a different view, somehow, some way this is a party more united more than ever now? >> i think that cruz accomplish what had the trump campaign has not been able to do so far, he united more republicans behind trump. what he did was the equivalent of going into someone's living room, breaking all the furniture and stealing the food out of the fridge before you run out. it was bad manners and he squandered so much goodwill. we were in the room. that room was behind ted cruz until he got to that moment when he just put the knife right in ted cruz's front. >> i want to talk -- i'm sorry donald trump's front. >> i want to talk about donald trump's speech in a second, but can we just spend one second on staging again. we talked about the staging of the vp announcement a couple of days ago. the moment last night there seemed to be a lack of coordination as mike pence was ready to leave the stage and donald trump came up. was there an attempt to embrace but then they left each other?

what's going on with this? >> let me for the second time this morning defend the trump campaign. he won because he is an outsider and doesn't know what you're supposed to do is grab your running mate's hand and waive it above his head. he won because he doesn't have any idea what you're supposed to do and people that like him still like him because he hasn't built a campaign around him. this is what it looks like when you run a pirate ship instead of a normal campaign. >> on the other hand, if there's anything trump really knows how to do is create an image, create a moment. we saw the entrance. what do you think about that? >> the rule book of the trump campaign is to tear up the rule book. the problem is a lot of rules are there because they work and the narrative of this convention has been train wreck so the pressure on trump tonight to really perform is immense. >> in an interview with the new york times when asked what he wants people to take away from this convention, donald trump said and i'm quoting -- the fact that i'm very well liked -- >> yeah. >> now, generally speaking, isn't it true that a candidate wants people to take away that i

have the vision, i have the policies to take this country forward for the next four or eight years. what do you make of that comment? >> well, that was an extraordinary interview. i'm sure we'll talk about it more in the days to come. he also laid out some really outside the mainstream ideas on foreign policy. i'm told the candidate will not double down on any of the ideas tonight. tonight it will be about the themes that got him here. but this idea of being liked is what animates his entire candidacy. that's why we heard the first ten months of his campaign, he would start by reading out all thele pos, our polls and others. so the problem with the analysis and the problem with that strategy is you need to leave being liked by more people than like you when you got here. i'm not sure yet if he accomplished that. >> the me, me, me school of presidential campaigning has got to end or he will not get out of where he is at now. you can't have a casual commitment to the nato security alliance eventually donald trump has to say something serious. the whole fly by the seat of the pants thing is showing up in policies now. that can be deadly.

>> mike, thank you very much. nicole, thank you very much. >> thank you. got a lot more from cleveland just ahead, including savannah's conversation with ivanka trump who will introduce her dad tonight. reminder, you can catch complete coverage of the rnc all day on msnbc and get mr. trump's speech live in primetime 10:00 p.m. eastern, 7:00 p.m. pacific on nbc. another big story this morning, southwest airlines is waiving ticket change fees for tens of thousands of passengers today after a major computer failure forced the airline to cancel or delay hundreds of flights and the trouble may not be over just yet. let's get right to nbc's tom costello who covers aviation for us. good morning, tom. >> good morning. this is a real mess. southwest says it was forced to cancel 700 flights yesterday, 20% of its flights, even more delayed. that's a huge number. this morning the ceo says the computer systems were restored at 2:00 a.m. they're hoping for a more normal schedule today but it could be a very slow recovery.

it all started mid afternoon with the company's website and computer systems crashed. the backup failed. then the restoration attempts failed. the problems only grew worse through the day. at one point, the airline held all flights still on the ground as it tried to work through the issues. ticket agents were writing out tickets by hand. the lines inside the terminals stretching for hours with tens of thousands of passengers delayed or missing their flights. this morning flight aware shows just under 200 flights cancelled before 7:00 a.m. east coast time today. the airline says it's still in a recovery mode. it's urging customers to check the status of your flights online before arriving at the airports but it could be another rough day as it tries to accommodate everybody who missed a flight yesterday. back to you, guys. >> tom costello in washington. thank you. let's talk about the stifling heat and humidity blanketing a large portion of the country. al's got that. al. >> thanks so much. i want to show you this great drone shot from illinois.

it's about 60 miles west of chicago. the reason we showed this, the reason we show this is we talk about something called the corn sweats. that's right. the humidity emitted from huge fields like this can add to the feels like temperature, which is humidity makes it feel that much warmer. look at all the moisture around that field. that adds to all the heat and humidity and makes you feel worse. today could be the hottest day in the continental united states since june 30th of 2012. i mean, think about it, 91 million people under excessive heat advisories. stretches for 24 states, just shy of 1 million square miles under this heat dome that just drops the warm air falling down. we bring in the humidity. temperatures are in the mid 90s from rapid city to st. louis. it feels like it is over 100s into the weekend. the same as you move further to the east.

we're looking at temperatures, air temperatures in the 90s. humidity levels will add that up to make it feel like it's over 100 degrees. dangerous heat that stretches all the way to the east coast this weekend. we're going to get to your local forecast coming up in the next 30 seconds. good morning. i'm meteorologist kari hall. clouds have rolled in across much of the bay area but it won't stick around. we'll see it through mid morning. it is clear in spots in san francisco. 58 degrees.

i think we will see clouds at some point here. it's 58 degrees. and it's 57 in concord. 56 in livermore and san jose. starts out the morning at 59. highs this afternoon will be pretty much like yesterday but a little bit warmer in spots. like in fairfield, concord, up to 88 degrees. livermore, 85. and 68 degrees in oakland. and santa rosa up to 80 degrees. and palo alto expecting a high of 77. let's head over to mike now for a view of what's happening on the roadways. >> the overview looks great. standard here. northbound out of san jose reports of two separate crashes. one just shy of 237. that's causing that slow zone and heading through the area. it's lightening up but still over toward 237, standard cloe westbound across the sum barton. and recovery conversations but a slow recovery to the upper east shore experienced a crash that cleared. heading down towards the bay

convention. ivanka will be in the spotlight tonight as she introduced her father to the delegates. we caught up with ivanka to talk about her speech and adjusting to life on the campaign trail. if i told you a year ago that you would be at the republican national convention, you would be introducing your father who is steps away from the presidency, what would you have said? >> i am not surprised in retrospect because i've never seen my father apply himself with determination towards a goal and not achieve it. last night actually standing alongside both of my brothers when the count went over the top during roll call and he was officially declared the republican nominee, i got very emotional. it's been an unbelievable journey. i'm incredibly proud of my father. >> are you nervous about introducing him tomorrow night? >> i'm terrified. i am terrified. i have never spoken in a stadium like this.

but really i just want to make sure i do a great job for him. you know, it's a real honor and privilege that he asked me to do this. i think it's a testament to him as a parent. >> how did he ask you? >> in a pretty casual way like my father does things like that. ivanka, would you like to do it. you'll be fine. don't worry. it will be great. >> what do you want to convey tomorrow about your dad? >> i know the man as a parent and i can share how he raised me and my siblings and the father he was. but also i can talk about the man he is as a leader and entrepreneur and business builder and visionary. knowing him from those two very different vantage points but seeing similar attributes transcend both words gives me a unique perspective in that regard. >> there's been controversy in the last couple days because melania gave her speech and

campaign acknowledge d there wee parts similar to michelle obama's speech. what have the last two days been like for her and for you and what's your reaction to this? >> i love melania so much and i'm proud of the job she did. she's a very private person and for her to come out on that stage and speak from the heart and share her story about coming to this country, this is such a personal experience for her. she shared it in such a graceful and articulate way. i am enormously impressed with her ability to do that and have great respect for it. >> have you developed that politician's daughter's thick skin yet? >> the last year has helped. definitely a little thicker than it was at the beginning of this. i think the most helpful thing for me is the fact that i know who my father is as a person so a lot of labels get bantered

around and people can say some vicious things. i know the truth about my father. i couldn't support my father if i didn't know those things to be pure fiction. i know the man. that gives me great comfort. >> your brother went after hillary clinton. he definitely went on the attack. should we expect that from you? >> i'm going to speak about my father. that's really what i want to be talking about. that's obviously what i know most intimately. that's where my focus will be. >> how do you feel about the convention and what you hear and what you see? you're on the floor. you hear the excitement. you hear the chants. sometimes you hear chants like "lock her up" or "guilty." are you comfortable with that? >> it's exciting. it's quite a production. it's definitely a different experience. never been to something like this. >> what are you going to tell yourself as you walk out on stage thursday night?

>> don't trip? after i get to the podium, you know, i think i'm really comfortable with my speech because it comes from my heart and hopefully i'm able to deliver it in an articulate way. i think at the end of the day i know i'll go home to my children and they'll love me as much regardless. even if i bomb, my father won't hold it against me. >> i understand why she said she's terrified. not that she doesn't know the subject better than anyone. it's a huge stage. >> i think anyone would have their hearts in their throats. a huge stage right there. you have thousands of people to say nothing of the audience of home. a big honor but also a big job. >> look forward to watching that tonight. >> in our next half hour, we'll hear from eric trump. this morning he has harsh words for ted cruz over what happened on that convention stage last night coming up in our next half hour. >> over to al for a check of the weather. >> thanks so much. got a great crowd here hanging

out. the weather here for cleveland and convention has been spectacular. under a dome of high pressure. our heat will start rising. a secondary situation with this heat dome. the jet stream up to the top. we call these storms that will develop ridge riders. they ride along this ridge of high pressure so for today we've got the risk of strong storms in the upper great lakes. isolated tornadoes possible. and then where it dips down, the jet stream dips down into the east, tomorrow we've got the risk of strong storms in the northeast and new england. we'll be watching for possible tornadoes in new york and pennsylvania. already we're seeing strong storms firing up in the western great lakes. we have severe thunderstorm watches and warnings developing. after a cloudy start this morning, we're in for a lot of sunshine. 54 degrees in the peninsula and 58 in the east bay. highs today reaching into the 70s for the east bay and peninsula while the south bay, north bay and tri-valley will be

in the 80s. san francisco will be in a nice and cool 63 degrees. also breezy there with mostly sunny skies. along the coastline will be in the 60s and into the mid to upper 80s for the inland valleys and it continues to warm as we head into this weekend. >> and that is your latest weather. guys? >> all right. thank you so much. coming up, how will hillary clinton respond to the attacks she's faced here at the rnc? plus, politics and pizza? the unexpected reason more of us are ordering out for dinner. but first on a thursday morning, these messages.

peter, good morning again to you. >> reporter: hey, good morning, make no mistake, this has a dramatic, at times chaotic convention, no better example than what happened last night. that lasted 23 minutes, ted cruz became clear would not be endorsing donald trump, the republican audience, especially the new york delegation would have none of it. cruz faced boos and jeers as he walked off stage. and at that very moment, donald trump arrived in the arena to loud applause. there was that moment as it took place. i just spoke to trump's son, eric, about donald trump's speech scheduled for tonight. he says it will be honest, it will be optimistic, and during the course of our conversation, just within the last 30 minutes, i asked him which donald trump we'll see tonight. >> i can't take the suspense out of tonight. >> you know? >> he cares about the country.

this is not for fun. this is not a joke. he's put his life aside to run for the most powerful office in the world. you know how daunting this trail is. this isn't easy stuff. it's stressful stuff, it's incredibly hard work. i gave him amazing credit for putting side his life to do this whole process. and he's passionate about it. this country has given him everything in the world and he wants to give back to a nation that's, you know, really done everything for us as a family. >> reporter: that moment last night, when ted cruz delivered those remarks, you weren't here, but we saw your siblings, they were stone faced. what did your family think of that speech? >> i was i think about ten feet behind him. i think the audience spoke for themselves. when you have 22,000 people booing you at your own party's convention, i don't know, i think that's pretty -- >> reporter: does it make him seem sympathetic? >> don't come out if you don't want to be supportive. i think he lost a lot of political credibility yesterday. i think he did a lot, maybe a lot people calling it political

suicide, i don't know if it is that or not. when you have 22,000 people booing you in a room of your peers. i mean that's a pretty bad thing for your career and listen, i almost heard he didn't have that many friends in washington, d.c. and not in this room last night. >> reporter: the final night of this convention, there'll be two big moments, donald trump, of course, the highlight, but introducing him tonight, of course his daughter, ivanka, i asked eric about his big sister. she will be elegant, she will be smart and poised. and given all the conversation this week about melania trump and those lifted lines from michelle obama's speech just a couple years back in 2008, and don trump jr., who had some words that have been used in a magazine article only a couple months ago, eric tells me his dad wrote much of the speech, some of it with help, but that he has put in tremendous thought and passion into the marks he delivers tonight. matt and savannah. >> thank you very much. you can catch more of the convention on msnbc and live in prime time, 10:00 eastern, 7:00

>> all right. you were born for that little one. all right. we're feeling the cleveland spirit. we're here with cleveland state cheer team. got their mascot. and by the way, we've got buckeyes. it's actually a candy. they're known as a nut. this is actually a candy. chocolate covered peanut butter. what's wrong with that? and you've got a little something for us here? very nice. thank you so much. never eat a buckeye and try to do a forecast. here's what's going on as far as your weekend is concerned. let's start with tomorrow. you'll see that we're looking at a slight risk in the northeast and also in the northern plains. plenty of sunshine out west. and along the gulf coast. friday, slight risk continues in the upper mississippi river

valley. sunny skies. hit or miss thunderstorms in new england. and also down through the gulf coast and sunday, sunday, we're looking at more wet weather around the great lakes and ohio river valley. cleveland may see some showers. that will be after everybody is headed home from the big convention. where's the hat there? look at that. look at that. we will see the clouds, spotty here and there. will be clearing out as we go into the afternoon. right now, upper 50s to lower 60s. in san francisco, expect a high of 63 degrees today. 66 degrees tomorrow. and we'll be slightly warmer into the weekend, but still very nice. and some very hot temperatures of inland areas. right at about average today, trending well above average with sizzling temperatures especially on sunday.

get your weather any time you need it. make sure you watch the weather channel on cable. guys? >> al, thank you very much. you know what? this is tom brokaw's 23rd national convention and he's going to make it -- i thought you would correct me there in the middle. 24 next week in philly. >> amazing. such a resource to have as we watch this. a lot of people have said this is such an unsettled time. i know you've been looking back and there's nothing like your first convention. >> my first convention was 1968 after bobby kennedy had been killed. dr. king had been killed earlier. we were in vietnam at the time. i remember vividly going to chicago with a sparkling beautiful day and thought this would be a good time and then it turned out to be a nightmare. let's take a look at the convention in 1968 and the world at that time. >> 1968 was my first convention year. i thought the world was coming apart. almost 16,000 americans died in

vietnam including a close friend. >> i will not accept the nomination. >> president johnson was forced not to run for re-election. >> martin luther king was shot and killed tonight. >> dr. martin luther king and bobby kennedy were murdered. the democratic convention in chicago was chaos in the hall and in the streets. richard nixon was taking the gop south. george wallace played the race card. and racial uprisings were everywhere. this obviously has been a very tough summer for relationships between african-americans and police in the country but it's nothing compared to what happened in 1968. there were effectively wars in detroit, omaha, washington, d.c., and here in cleveland in an area known as the glenville

neighborhood. the black nationalist had a home here and police suspected he was storing weapons of all kinds. the fight broke out and the fight quickly became a war. it was war so violent cleveland's black mayor barred white police from the neighborhood and brought in the national guard. it didn't work. it went on for three days. nine people were killed. policemen and black nationalists. a major cleveland project to rebuild black neighborhoods started before the uprising came to an abrupt and bloody end. it was that kind of year. the other thing about that time, quite honestly, it was not just all that we're seeing there but there was a cultural revolution. the young people were defying everything their parents stood for, the generation i call the greatest generation. they rejected it. it was a time of much more

turmoil than we're going through right now. >> you say back then people thought the world was coming apart. you did as well. people say that now and it's nice to know that we recovered from 1968 and hopefully have the same chance of recovering coming out of this. >> the inherent strengths of this country are there and we're not paying attention to the great strength of america at the moment is out there in the cities away from washington. they're doing very well. very strong governors in both parties. cities are doing well. economy is beginning to work in those areas. most of all, they have to take a deep breath and say remember who we are. >> nice to keep it in perspective. thank you for helping us do that this morning. >> we're going to make a turn. up next, oscar winner alicia vikander stops by studio 1a. she'll talk about joining the wildly popular "jason bourne" franchise. first on a thursday morning, this is "today" on nbc.

cruz got booed off the stage. the night was supposed to be about indiana governor mike pence giving his vice presidential acceptance speech and spoke to his heart and talked about his mother and children and wife and small town roots. >> for those of you who don't know me, which is most of you, i grew up on the front row of the american dream. i was raised in a small town in southern indiana in a big family with a corn field in the backyard. if dad were with us today, i would have a feeling he would enjoy this moment. and probably be pretty surprised. but it's such a joy for me to tell you that my mother is here.

"jason bourne" has been reactivated after nine years in hiding, the unbreakable super assassin is back and brought matt damon with him along with oscar winning co-star alicia vikander and director paul greengrass. what did take so long? >> we didn't have a story. we didn't have a story. we didn't want to force something that wasn't there. that's why it took us nine years to get here. >> setting the stage with this particular story, what has bourne been up to and what is he doing now and where is he going? >> that's a good question. that is one of the first things

we had to wrestle with. he has to be in the shadows and haunted and hunted and the adventure rests on that. >> and shoulders of a 45-year-old matt damon. first movie you were late 20s. now you're 45. >> i was like her age. >> i call him up. i'll see you in six months. >> the first shot on you looks like you've been living well. >> damon got into the best shape of his life and then for good measure added a couple oscar winners to the cast. tommy lee jones and alicia vikander. she plays heather lee. in your character, i still now after seeing the movie don't know if she's a good guy or bad guy. >> that's the big mystery. >> they're complicated people. that's a hallmark of these movies.
