7:03 am
>> this morning's eye-opener is presented by toyota, let's go places. welcome to cbs this morning. we're at the national constitutional center in philadelphia. the presidential campaign is tied at the democratic national convention gets underway. a cbs poll out this morning shows hillary clinton and donald trump both have 42% support. it is one of the first national polls since the republican convention. >> the democratic also meet under the cloud of a new e-mail controversy, wikileaks revealing 20,000 messages hacked from the democratic national committee. >> it led debbie wasserman schultz to announce she will step down after the convention.
7:04 am
>> the florida congresswoman was booed this morning by delegates from her home state. nancy cordes is overlooking the floor at the wells fargo center. >> reporter: good morning. the goal of the convention was to show that democrats were more unified and more positive than republicans were last week. but the leak of these dnc e-mails has complicated that, and so democrats are moving to try to contain the damage starting with the departure of the dnc chair. >> are we ready to keep florida blue. >> the sudden resignation came just 24 hours after she introduced clinton and kaine in miami. one of the hacked e-mails from earlier this year, she quipped that bernie sanders isn't going to be president. in another, she referred to his campaign manager as a damn liar. in a separate conversation, the% dnc's chief financial officer, questioned sanders faith. he had skated on saying he had a jewish heritage, i think read he
7:05 am
is an aethiest. >> they were not running a fair operation. they were supporting secretary clinton. >> on "60 minutes", the new democratic ticket was asked about the party e-mails. >> they seem to have their thumb on the scale for you. they seem to be working against bernie sanders, their fellow democratic. >> again, i don't know anything, i don't know anything about -- about these e-mails. i haven't followed it. but i'm very proud of the campaign that i ran. i'm very proud of the campaign that senator sanders ran. >> clinton's running mate is a former dnc chair himself. >> i don't see an effort to put a thumb on the scale to tip this one way or the other. the vigorous nature of the campaign and positive nature of the campaign is proof that these are public servants in it for the right reason. we're going to be unified going forward. >> wasserman schultz was strained even before her e-mails were hacked.
7:06 am
>> the senator's response was anything about acceptable. >> she said he didn't do enough to discourage supporters from disrupting the nevada convention in may. >> to suggest that our campaign has anything to do with creating violence is an outrage and unacceptable. >> i'm not doing anything to discourage the senator from continuing his campaign. >> sanders is scheduled to announce the convention tonight. another reason party officials are trying to smooth this over quickly, though he seemed to question clinton's running mates on day two. >> he is a nice guy. his political views are not my political views. he is more conservative than i am. would i have preferred to elizabeth w elizabeth warren selected by secretary clinton, yes, i would have. >> ironically, it was warren, not sanders that was given a speaking spot in the 10:00 p.m. hour, sanders arguing he is the
7:07 am
one that got 13 million votes. overnight, the scheduled was chajd. he is now at 10:00 p.m. with warren and the first lady. >> all right, nancy. intrigue continues. thank you so much. the clinton campaign is backing security experts saying russia likely stole the e-mails and gave them to wikileaks, trump officials reject the idea. julianna goldman is outside the wells fargo center, and how this has turned international. good morning. >> reporter: the clinton campaign has tried to connect donald trump to vladimir putin before, but now they are accusing the kremlin of directly trying to meddle in this election. >> it is pure obsification. >> denying that he is being aided by an old cold war rival.
7:08 am
>> no basis to it. >> russian state actors broke into the dnc. >> reporter: the clinton campaign says russia is trying to influence the election. >> other experts are saying the russians are releasing the e-mails for the purpose of helping donald trump. >> the new allegations follow a june report from the dnc hired independent security firm crowd strike. which claimed the party's e-mail system had been breached by russian hackers. a hacker by the name of gutifer 2.0, also has credit. >> wouldn't it be nice if we actually got along with russia. >> trump and his campaign have not tried to distance the presidential candidate from russian president vladimir putin. and in june, putin praised trump during a press conference in st. petersburg, calling him bright and welcoming. manafort has his own connections to russia. he previously walgs a paid advisor to ukrainian victor
7:09 am
yankovich. donald junior. >> they'll say anything to be able to win this. this is time and time again, lie after lie. >> reporter: now, just this morning, the kremlin was asked about these accusations and declined to comment. last week, gayle, last week, he told the new york times that if russia were to attack an ally, he would only come to the defense if they met their financial obligations. >> all right, thank you, julianna. the republican nominee and his team will not stay quiet during the democratic convention. the latest news poll shows 83% of republican whose watched the gop convention have a more favorable view of donald trump. and 69% say they have a more positive view of the party in general. looking to build momentum, trump tweeted about the democrats, saying this. e-mails say the rigged system is
7:10 am
alive and well. major garrett is here with the trump campaign tactics. good morning. >> on the heels of many, certainly not donald trump, called a rocky republic national convention, trump's team pounced on the democratic party's, what they thought all along, it is rigged and sometimes in hillary clinton's favor. >> our mission is to expose the long and scandalous history in their own backyard. >> this is donald trump being conventional, sending party leaders to bash the democratic nominee. it is an old hat about bu with a new twist. another email mess. >> hillary clinton is the epitome of the establishment, donald trump is the outsider who is committed to change. >> the heart of trump's general election strategy, portray clinton as a washington insider, whose ethics make sense there, but nowhere else. >> our convention occurs at a moment of crisis.
7:11 am
>> trump's anxiety inducing convention speech, depicting america menaced by threats at home and overseas, left paul manafort defending his candidate's perspective. >> he told the truth of what's going on. he explained clearly to the american people that he wasn't going to sugarcoat it. >> pondering the new world of presidential politics, trump told cbs ted ckoppel, it is not all that different from reality television. >> i've won, whether i did the "apprentice", same questions. >> you can't compare anything you've done before. >> tremendous success in business. tr tremendous success in tv. i wrote books. >> there is nothing like running president of the united states. >> i agree. i agree. nothing like it. >> trump's accolades will be here all week, but he heads to roanoke, virginia, sectors of swing states trump must grasp
7:12 am
after the comparatively anemic bounce he got in our poll after the republic national convention, though, charlie, some polls indicate he got as much as a six point bounce. >> president obama says donald trump is unprepared. trump's statements might not stand with nato allies shows a lack of readiness on foreign policy. mr. obama gave a wide ranging interview cbs john dickerson. john is here this morning. good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> let's talk about the dnc and lull about the sanders things. is there a possibility for real dissension here? it could affect the convention and affect the campaign? >> well, i think, you know, there is dissension. unhappy with hillary clinton, and now, the dirty laundry has been put on the front lawn, right before the convention started. so the move with debbie wasserman schultz will calm things down a little, but the dissension is still there. now it is up to basically bernie
7:13 am
sanders could give an assist by saying, you know, the party is moving on. but we'll just have to see how it plays out. >> will they give the dissension a public stage when debbie wasserman schultz addresses the convention and some bernie sanders supporters may boo her? yet to see. >> you don't want a booing moment. with ted cruz, it was his moment. >> is booing bad? >> yeah, i know, it is all the rage this convention season. none of those on this show. but ted cruz was doing his thing, and donald trump could say, yes, he was booed, but this is the systemic assistance of hillary clinton by the dnc, which is what bernie sanders and his supporters were complaining about. that's not one person. that's a systemic rigging. >> you have the release of the e-mails the day before the convention seems very suspicious, and the clinton campaign blaming the russians. does it make any sense to you? >> well, as a political tactic or, you know -- >> common sense. >> well, they've been trying to hang, you know, donald trump has
7:14 am
an affection for putin that they have been highlighting for weeks. so this is just the latest in that. i don't know whether there is actual evidence of this. but it seems fitting with the tactic they've been going with for a while. >> your interview with president obama, i mean, he went out of his way to praise president george h.w. bush as one of the most under rated presidents we've had. he called george w. bush a good man. hillary clinton being complime t complimentary. >> absolutely. they think it was all about negativity. no question of togetherness. you know, and tim kaine also praised speaker ryan. so they've all got their favorite republicans now, and it is an attempt to show a kind of cooperation as both because they think voters want it, but also in opposition from what they heard from the republicans. >> you get the impression the president is rearing to go. he really wants to get out there and make the case, because he is
7:15 am
offended by what some of the republicans are saying. >> there are two reasons. donald trump was the chief birther in america that suggested the president was not a legitimate president because weighs not born in america. that's personal. secondly, the president believes in the policies that he put forward and thinks hillary clinton is the one to protect those. he also thinks there is as he talks about, passing the baton. he wants the race continuing to go forward, building on what he has done, not just protecting, and hillary clinton is the best -- >> can make a difference. >> he can make a difference. >> particularly in the african-american community. you've got to have my back. i've had your back. when running against the guy whether he was legitimate, which a lot of african-americans think was a claim about race, he'll i think be able to go to them and say you need my back again to continue the legacy. >> thanks, john. >> cbs news will bring you special coverage at 7:00 pacific time and you can find none stop coverage all day on cbsn. a shooting outside a florida

they spoke with scott pelley last night in their first and only joint interview. here is a look, including portions you did not see last night. clinton describes the planned role for her vice president. >> in addition to being such a close confidant and adviser to the president, somebody who may be the last person in the room before a difficult decision is made, i would very much count on tim to be working with congress on some of our highest priorities, taking on responsibilities for projects that we think would really help people make us more economically prosperous, create more opportunity in jobs. >> senator, you're going to be vice president in a white house with two presidents. >> i mean, it's an embarrassment of riches. >> reporter: what do you think of that notion? >> i think it's an all hand-on deck time. >> yes. >> in addition to my husband, tim's wonderful wife anne, comes

7:35 am
supportive vice president so that the presidency of hillary clinton is a fantastic one. but if something were to put that in my path, as much as any human being would be ready, i'd be ready. >> scott pelley is with us. good morning. >> good morning. >> this was fascinating because it's the first time we have seen the two of them together and take those questions. first of all, hillary clinton answering that question is essentially saying, you're getting two for the price of one again. >> that's right. i was very surprised by that. i expected her to say, no, no, i'm going to be president. and, no, she said i want bill clinton on board, i want barack obama on board, as she has put in the interview, it's all hand on deck. >> what is interesting, he was barack obama's favorite senator. obama liked him a lot. >> he was almost obama's pick for vice president. >> now they seem to have come together with, like, perfect chemistry. >> well, that's true. the fascinating thing, they look terrific in the interview together. they were finishing each other's sentences but they don't know each other well. and i was surprised by that.
7:36 am
they have known each other professional and casually. but they came across in the interview as two old friends and that is really not the case. they are just getting to know each other. >> we know there is no way to you can't script chemistry. you have it or you don't. i was surprised to hear they haven't known each other long because they were very at ease each other. did you find him boring? i think some people say he needs to stop saying i'm boring. >> yes, he does. that is inaccurate. >> he plays the harmonica. >> he carries a number of of them wherever he goes but didn't play the harmonica for us. boring? sno. he was city kouns sicouncilman r and governor and senator. >> has he put to rest any liberals or the left of the democratic party might have objected to him?
7:37 am
>> people object to him on the far left, charlie, as you know, because he has been in favor of free trade. >> right. >> in favor of the transpacific partnership. now hillary clinton has said that she does not favor free trade to the extent that she used to or the transpacific partnership in particular. so they were on opposite sides of that issue. liberals don't like that. but it's amazing how immediately after they hang up the phone, a vice president's views on issues come completely in line. >> one specific part of your interview that is drawing interest this morning is that her answer to the dnc e-mail scandal. she acted like she was not familiar with what was going on. >> she had never heard of it, if i'm any reader of body language, i've known secretary clinton for 25 years, and i was struck as i was reading the e-mails to her in the interview, her eyes widened as if to say, what is this about? what are you talking about?
7:38 am
she seemed genuinely surprised. >> how could that be? >> the story had only broken a couple of hours before. >> because you interviewed on saturday? >> we interviewed on saturday. she had been on stage introducing tim kaine to the other 49 states that don't know him. and i think they missed that stitch in terms of briefing her. she seemed very surprised. >> people could say she might not have known the story was going to break but i think it defies for many that she didn't know anything at all about the e-mails. i think that is the issue. >> well, the man who wrote the e-mail about bernie sanders' religion, the finance chairman of the dnc, has been finance chairman of the dnc since 1992. he's a very well-known figure to the clinton's. i don't know how much she knew, but she was very surprised to hear the e-mails were out. >> what is interesting too is russian involvement as to whether the russians hacked -- >> the democrats are saying the russians hacked the e-mails and

8:07 am
>> like donald trump. and yesterday, which was a day i think senator sanders planned to be spending a lot of time on that speech, he got consumed in the wasserman schultz controversy too. my guess is that the clinton campaign will see that speech before he gives it, but it might not be fully written at this hour. >> is conventional wisdom it will be a tight race? we saw the bump he got or the two couple polls some larger than others, is this now going to be a tight race? >> well, i think we're going to have to see once both conventions over where we're at. but i think, look, the question for donald trump is how much above that 40%, 42%, how much above that can he get and then maintain that place. it's obviously a divided country. this is not going to be a runaway. >> therefore doesn't hillary clinton need bernie sanders and do everything they need to make him a very happy senator? >> she does. she needs all his voters in the same way donald trump needed a unified party, hillary clinton needs a unified party. she needs a lot of democrats to be out for her. but the truth is you saw sanders yesterday relatively restrained
8:08 am
on this dnc thing. i think his speech is going to be just a full throated endorsement of hillary clinton and attack on donald trump. i think he is going to play nice, i think it's in everybody's interest for the party to be together and i think sanders is in a relatively good place. >> and michelle obama is speaking tonight. >> michelle obama, elizabeth warren. they announced elizabeth warren as the keynote this morning. that's a pretty good roster and one that will please progressives tonight. you'll see corey booker tonight, michelle obama, elizabeth warren, bernie sanders. if you're on the left end of the party, if those speeches go well and as planned, you're going to be pretty happy by about midnight when you're having your night cap. >> will hillary clinton be happy that's the image of the party? >> i think hillary clinton will be happy that's an image of part of the party. she wants to appeal to that part. she's obviously picked tim kaine to appeal to a different part of the party, but she's got to get all parts of the democratic party together. this is part of a four-night process. >> emphasis on the word goes as

by sanders' supporters. that's not a sign of unity. >> no, it's not, especially if that is what happens. again, for me, i'm focused tonight. i got a speech to give and my focus is going to be talking about the unity, not of a party but really the unity of our country and the importance of us as a nation to come together. >> you speak before the first lady, michelle obama. >> yes, yes. >> how will she be a character witness for hillary clinton? >> i think both obama's are going to have such a story to tell because they have worked with secretary clinton in an intimate way and seen her behind the door and seen the services she has reneded and i think you can can get no better character witness right now than the first lady who i think is one of the most popular people in the united states of america. >> a new poll showing a bump for the republicans and donald trump leading hillary clinton. what do you have to do, other than show unity? >> well, i think the number one, we have to show a contrast. we had a very dark convention that showed a very negative view of america here as a qun that is on the rise, especially compared
8:38 am
to our european ally and the rest of the globe. we have our challenges and we are not that. somebody who has frankly not only at the convention reflected it but frankly who has been tearing down america and been insulting you name it. disabilities for americans and we don't need to degrade people but elevate our society. >> clinton takes command of a changed party. this party is more liberal than the democratic party of bill clinton. >> i don't know if i want to look at it at liberal conservatism. we are a party who believes if you work a full-time job you should not be living in poverty. we should be investing in this nation whether it's infrastructure or investing in jobs and in education. if you look at the principles of our party, the principles resonate with the american people who are struggling right now and need a party to speak to
8:39 am
their need. >> let's talk about tim kaine who has now been named the vp. it was rumored you were on the short list. have you recovered from that? are you okay? >> were you in the fetal position last night? >> and what did you say? >> gayle king, if she had teased me like that, like only a friend can. i actually rejoice in tim kaine. >> no. but he describes himself as boring. i wonder if that is a good look. smsh said he is not the most exciting person in the world but has extraordinary depth about politics and humanity. i know you're friends with him. >> let me say right now -- >> is that cory? >> i am so excited about this pick because he is a man of such honor and a goodness that is core. that is matched with competency. a lot of talkers in the senate and i've seen us in caucus meetings and nobody looks up from their blackberry.
8:40 am
when he looks up, people look up and lean forward. >> no question about her choice? >> the beautiful thing about it. if you ask republicans and democrats to say the top ten people in the senate who are qualified to be president of the united states, he would get the most votes. he would be one of the people that got the most admiration from both sides of the aisle. >> senator booker, thank you for coming. >> thank you for having me. >> senator kaine also plays the harmonica. not everybody can do that. alexander hamilton is not just a hit on broadway. >> first, i want to see hamilton because he is the rap star and then they want to see ben franklin and sit on his lap. >> they do. they sit right here. >> go for it. absolutely. you can do it. >> get in there, jan. coming up next, jan crawford gets unique insight on our
8:44 am
the national constitution center here in philadelphia is our home for the next three days. we are close to independence hall where the founders debated and eventually signed the constitution. jan crawford looks at how the center shares that story and the evolution of our government. jan, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, gayle. i mean, just think about it. i mean, this was a time centuries ago when the rest of the world was governed by kings
8:45 am
and emperors but our founders had this radical idea. they would create a government by the people with a constitution that endures and protects us to this day. throughout our history, it is protests that bring change. a revolutionary ideal protected by the constitution. >> what do we want? equality. >> the fact that we, americans, have the obligation and empowered to say the government is encroaching on our rights is a sign of health and robustness of our constitution. >> reporter: it survived and thrived for 229 years. forged over a tense summer in 1787. the greatest document of human freedom ever created. and the national constitution center in the heart of philadelhia is where we come tond. right there, independence hall. >> it's so inspiring. >> reporter: jeff rosen is the center's president and ceo. >> just as anthony kennedy was
8:46 am
here recently and he said, there at independence hall is where the constitution was ratified and the national constitution center on the other side of the mall is where americans, today, work out what it means today. >> reporter: created by congress as a nonpartisan institution, the center teaches and inspires. in this polarized time, it reminds us of our nation's past struggles and what always guided us, bringing us back together, the constitution. >> what is going on now is the incredible debates we are verg around this election and the future of justice and equality in america is a healthy and quintessentially american enterprise, and the structure for that debate is the constitution, itself. >> reporter: the center features historic documents, including an original copy of the bill of rights. but it's more than a museum. >> maybe we do need to amend our constitution. >> reporter: it brings together conservatives and liberals to debate some of the most contentious issues of on our time. >> we, the people. >> reporter: there is a live performance that tells the story
8:47 am
of our fight for freedom. interactive displays where children imagine they really can be president and take the oath of office. and even a constitutional vip room. >> welcome here. isn't this incredible? >> reporter: yes. here you can mingle with the men who signed the document, 42 life-sized statues, the center's most popular exhibit, especially with kids. >> first, they want to see hamilton, because he is the rap star and then see ben franklin and sit on their. >> reporter: can i sit here? >> absolutely. go for it. absolutely. they see josh and how tall he is and they feel like american history belongs to them. >> reporter: but walking around this room and these divisive times, you have to wonder what the founders would think of us. >> these men in this room were familiar with bitter, polarizing disagreements over ideas. but these men were also able to compromise and that spirit of
8:48 am
compromising enabled them to create this great document of human freedom. >> reporter: that document remains the framework that unites us today and it provides the path forward. >> they created it. they empowered us. but unless we rise to the occasion through democratic self-education and learning about the constitution and their green light experiment will not survive but they were optimistic it would survive because they had faith in us and faith in the citizens and they had faith in the constitutional education. >> reporter: and that is why this center is so important. i mean, you see the vision, just how incredible it was what they created and how it's up to us to keep it. >> yeah. we had a tour yesterday from a woman named carrie who knew every little detail what is happening here. it makes you proud. didn't you feel that? >> it's amazing! such a radical idea that they had. what they pulled off and it still endures and it's an inspiration for the rest of the world. >> where were they when we need them? >> what would they think of us
