>> one person who i believe is truly qualified to be president of the united states and that is our friend, hillary clinton! >> hillary rodham clinton. >> hillary clinton must become the next president of the united states. >> pelley: what a historic night for america. the democrats have nominated a woman to be the 45th president of the united states. hillary rodham clinton. >> o'donnell: will be her other half the 42nd president of the united states, william yam jefferson clinton. >> pelley: a night of presidents and precedents. in a fractured democratic party former clinton opponent called on the delegates to nominate her

by acclimation and they did. some sanders' supporters walked out and protested outside the wells fargo center. gayle king is on the convention floor for us tonight. >> king: scott and norah happy tears for hillary clinton. a lot of tears. one mandel gat from from south carolina told me that he went into the ugly cry which means sobbing uncontrollably. the 17-year-old girl from tennessee who gets to vote for the first time in november, she'll be 18 then, she can't wait to vote for hillary clinton. the mother and daughter duo from california who were pulling for two different candidates. daughter was for bernie, mom was for hillary tonight they united behind hillary clinton big time. they are many score rees in this room. one of the ones that stood up for me the most. is 75-year-old woman, she turned 75 last week. she said she knew the date was coming just didn't think that she would be alive to see it. now she is here.

they tell me tonight they have reset the table in american politics. norah and scott, back to you. >> o'donnell: thank you so much. senator elizabeth warren of massachusetts of the keynote speaker here last night. and moments ago charlie rose talked to her about who role she'll play in the clinton administration. >> rose: when you campaign with hillary clinton, she said she loved the fact that you get under his skin. >> yep. >> rose: how is it you do that, is that going to be the role you play in this campaign? get under the skin of donald trump. >> donald trump is a bully. he is a bully. first last hand in between. only way to deal with bully is stand right up to him. when they punch, punch him right back. >> rose: do you want to punch him when he says poke hon tucson? >> is that it? i talk about donald trump. i don't call him names. that's not the point.

i talk about his policies. i talk about what he's done to people. i talk about what he says about what he wants to do with this country. and all he can do do is he wants to call names. that's it for donald trump. he is a thin-skinned racist bully. and he will never be president of the united states. >> o'donnell: she didn't mince words with you. going to continue to play this type of a role. >> rose: she s. she wants to be president of the united states. she is very strong in the new senate because of her growing influence. and that she might if she could do more good accept cabinet positions. >> pelley: go across the floor visit with john dickerson. >> dickerson: scott, we've been talking about the historic first night. hillary clinton the first woman to be major party nominee. but another first, her husband will be the first president to speak on behalf of his wife.

we're told by the campaign chairman, bill clinton took a whack himself, he will be needling and fixing and tweaking that first draft, for that final draft in the seconds before he gets to the stage, also probably go very long, that's also true to form. the party has changed a lot since he was president. but its going to testify to the personal hillary clinton. the role reversal not just in gender but also this is first time in history we've got a husband and wife who have been major party nominees he'll testify to the personal side, but also since he knows the job, he'll be able to make that link between her personal attributes and what is required to be president. >> o'donnell: john dickerson there. and nancy cordes has been talking to some of the delegates who made history tonight. nancy. >> norah, there were several older women here in the arena, i spoke to -- never thought they would live to see this moment. that it was so meaningful for them, especially after watching

hillary clinton get so close eight years ago. bill clinton likes to talk about the fact she's a change maker on the campaign trail. he'll say anyone can give a good speech. to see those goals through. he will argue tonight that she's got the smarts and relationships to do that as president of the united states. >> pelley: thank you very. charlie, what does bill clinton need to do tonight? >> rose: he needs to tell the hillary clinton that he knows. he's never been inspirational speaker. he can explain things as he did for barack obama, explain who she is and why he believes that she's a good person, trustworthy person and the person who is best qualified more than any other person running for the office as president obama said at this moment in american history. >> o'donnell: there is strategic elements, a lot of his campaign can reach out of the white working class voters.

>> rose: he can. the best retail politics in america. he knows how to do that. and he will be the person who will be able to sit and talk how this affects you and how she can make a difference in your life. >> pelley: john dickerson, bill clinton used to hold the recorder for the longest acceptance speech for the whole time until last week when he was trumped by donald trump. what do you think will happen tonight? >> pelley: he was laughing earlier today about another time, he was working on the speech in the car ride over to give, to speak at the 2004 convention. before clintons even president he gave what was considered one of the most disastrous convention speeches in 1988 when michael dukakis where the crowd roared approval when he said "in conclusion" he doesn't want to do that tonight. he wants to, as charlie said, the hillary clinton that only he can know. what is interesting is how much the party has changed, nafta

which he supported bushed through. a very different party, in a very different place on trade, criminal justice issues also the party much more liberal. how the bill clinton years got video playing now to remind everybody about bill clinton. how much those were part of the democratic world. >> pelley: thanks very. bob schieffer, bill clinton's favorability ratings were higher than his wife. >> schieffer: the spouse is usually higher than whoever is running for office or is in office. i think the main problem that hillary clinton has to overcome, i'll be interested to she how bill clinton goes about this, is how does she convince people that she can be trusted. her unfavorability ratings are extraordinarily high. she's got to figure out some way to get by that. if she can do that it's pretty level playing field out there.

>> o'donnell: michelle obama said that. i trust hillary clinton. that word has come up. >> schieffer: you're going to hear that again and again. because they know that this is going go to be the problems, in the polling, 67% said she's untruth worthy, enormous hill to climb. >> schieffer: also have to convince people that she takes seriously the terrorist threat. some are a little bit fright ebbed about the solution that you heard donald trump propose. she cannot just dismiss it, because people are worried about their safety. she's got to convince them that she can make them safe. >> o'donnell: bob, i was up with four women when this convention put her over the top, they were crying, they were holding hands. this is a historic moment. >> schieffer: it is truly historic. that is the headline. >> schieffer: there is the former president of the united states, bill clinton. [ cheering and applause ]

>> thank you! thank you!

[ cheering and applause ] in the spring of 1971 i met a girl. the first time i saw her, we were appropriately enough in a class on political and civil rights. she had thick blonde hair, big glasses, wore no make up. and she exuded this sense of sprent and self position that i found magnetic. after the class i followed her intending to introduce myself.

i got close enough to touch her back, but i couldn't do it. somehow i knew this would not be just another tap on the shoulder. and i might be starting something i couldn't stop. i saw her several more times in the next few days, but i still didn't speak to her. then one night i was in the law library talking to a classmate that wanted me to join the law journal. he said it would guarantee me a job in a big firm or clerkship with a federal judge. i really wasn't interested. i just wanted to go home to arkansas. then i saw the girl again. standing at the opposite end of that long room. finally, she was staring back at

me. so i watch her, she closed her book, put it down and started walking toward me. she walked the whole length of the library, came up to me and said, look, if you're going to keep staring at me and now i'm staring back, we at least ought to know each other's name. i'm hillary rodham, who are you? [ cheering and applause ] i was so impressed and surprised that whether you believe it or not, momentarily, i was speechless. [ laughter ] finally i sort of blurted out my name and we exchange add few words then she went away. well, i didn't join the law review. but did i leave that library with a whole new goal enmind.

couple of days later i saw her again. she was wearing a long white flowery skirt. and i went to her, she said she was going to register for classes for the next term. i said i'd go, too. and we sat in line and talked, you had to do that to register back then. and i thought i was doing pretty well. then we got to the front of the line and the registrar looked up said, bill, what are you doing here? you registered this morning? [ laughter ] i turned red and she laughed that big laugh of hers. and i thought, well, heck, since my cover has been blown, i just went ahead asked her to take a walk down to the art museum. we'd been walking and talking and laughing together ever since. [ cheering and applause ]

we've done it in good times and bad, through joy and heartbreak. we cried together this morning on the news that i had good friend, mark weiner passed away early this morning. we built up a lifetime of memories. after the first month and that first walk, i actually drove her home to park ridge, illinois. to meet her family and see the town where she grew up. a perfect example of post world war ii middle class america. street after street of nice houses, great schools, good parks, big public swimming pool. and almost all white. i really liked her family. her crusty conservative father,

her rambunctious brothers. all extolling the virtues of rooting for the bears and the cubs. and for the people from illinois here, they even told me what waiting for next year meant. could be next year, guys. her mother was different. she was more liberal than the boys. and she had a childhood that made mine look like a piece of cake. she was easy to underestimate with her soft manner, she reminded me all over of the saying, you should never judge a book by its cover. knowing her was one of the greatest gifts hillary ever gave me. [ applause ] i learned that hillary got her introduction to social justice

through her methodist youth minister, don jones. he took her downtown chicago to hear martin luther king, junior speak. he remained her friend. this is the only campaign she ever missed. when she got to college her support the for civil rights her opposition to the vietnam war compelled her to change parties and become a democrat. [ cheering and applause ] and then between college and law school are total lark she went alone to alaska spent some time fishing. by the time i met her she had been involved in the law school's legal services project and she'd been influenced by edelmen she took a summer internship interviewing workers in migrant comes for senator

walter mondale subcommit tree. also begun working in the yale new haven hospital to develop procedures to handle suspected child abuse cases. she got so involved in children's issues that she actually took an extra year in law school working at the child study center to learn what more could be done to improve the lives and the futures of poor children. she was already determined to figure out how to make things better. hillary opened my eyes to a whole new world of public service by private citizens. in the summer of 1972 she went to alabama, the segregated acadamies that enrolled over half a million white kids in the

south. if they claimed federal tax exemption to which they were not legally entitled. she got sent to prove they weren't. she sauntered into one of these acadamies all by herself pretending to be a housewife that just moved to town needed to find a school for her son. and they exchanged pleasant trees, see said, look, get to the bottom line here f. i enroll my son will he be in segregated school, yes or no. the guy said "absolutely" she had him. i've seen it a thousand times since. and she went back and her encounter was part of a report that gave marion edleman the evidence and give our kids access to an equal education. [ cheering and applause ]

then she went down to south texas where she met one of the nicest fellas i've ever met the wonderful union leader, franklin garcia, he helped her register mexican-american voters, i think some are still around to vote for her in 2016. [ cheering and applause ] then in our last year in law school, hillary kept this up work, she went to south carolina to see why so many young african american boys, i mean young teenagersness were being jailed for years with adults. in men's prisons. and she filed a report on that which led to some changes, too. always making things better.

now, meanwhile let's get back to business. i was trying to convince though marry me. i first proposed to her on a trip to great britain. first time she'd ever been oversees seas we were on the shoreline of this wonderful little lake, lake enterdale i asked her to marry she she said "i can't do it" so in 1974 i went home to teach in the law school and hillary moved to massachusetts to keep working on children's issues. this time trying to figure out why so many kids counted in the census weren't enrolled in school. she found one of them sitting alone on her porch in a wheelchair. much more, she filed a report about these kids and that helped influence ultimately the congress to adopt the

proposition that children with disabilities, physical or otherwise, should have equal access to public education. [ cheering and applause ] you saw the result that have last night when anastasstia talked. she never made fun of people with disabilities, she tried to empower them based on their ability. meanwhile i was still trying to get her to marry me. but the second time i asked i tried a different tact. i said, i really want to you marry me, but you shouldn't do it. she smiled and looked at me like, what is this boy up to?

she said that is not a very good sales pitch. i said, i know, built it's true. and i meant it. it was true. i said, i know most of the young democrats our age. who want to go into politics, they mean well and they speak well but none of them is as good as you are at actually doing things to make positive changes in people's lives. so i suggested she go home to illinois or move to new york and look for chance to run for office. she just laughed said, are you out of your mind, nobody would ever vote for me. so i finally got her to come visit me in arkansas. and when she did, the people at the law school were so impressed they offered her a teaching position.

and she decided to take a huge chance. she moved to a strange place, more rural, more culturally conservative than any place she'd ever been where she knew people would wonder, what in the world she was like and whether they could or should accept her. didn't take them long to find out what she was like. she loved her teaching and she got frustrated when one of her students said, well, what do you expect i'm just from arkansas. don't tell me that, you just got to believe in yourself and work for it and she believed in anybody to make it. she also started the first legal aid clinic in northwest arkansas. providing legal aid services to poor people who couldn't pay for it. one day i was driving her to the airport to fly back to chicago

where we passed this little brick house that had a for sale sign on it and she said, boy, that's a pretty house. it had 1100 square feet. an attic fan and no air conditioner in hot arkansas. and screened-in porch. hillary commented on what uniquely designed and beautiful house it was. so, i took a big chance. i bought the house. my mortgage was san diego 175 a month. was $175 a month. when she came back i picked her up i said, remember that house you liked? i said, while you were gone i ball it you have to marry me now. the third timefuls the charm. [ cheering and applause ] we were married in that little

house on october 11th, 1975. i married my best friend. i'm still in awe after more than 40 years of being around her at how smart and strong and loving and comparing she was. and i really hoped that her choosing me and rejecting my advice to pursue her own career was a decision she would never regret. a little over a year later, we moved to little rock when i became attorney general. and she joined the oldest law firm west of the mississippi. soon after she started a group called, the arkansas advocates for families and children. it's a group that you can hear are still active today. in 1979 -- [ cheering and applause ]

in 1979 just after i became governor i asked hillary to chair a rural health committee. to help expand health care to isolated mountain areas. they recommended to do that partly by deploying trained nurse practitioners in places with no doctors. to provide primary care that they were trained to provide. it was a big deal then. highly controversial and very important. and i got the feeling that what she did for the rest of her life she was doing there, she just went out and figured out what needed to be done and what made the most sense and what would help the most people f. it was controversial just try to persuade people that it. the right thing to do. it wasn't the only big thing that happened that spring. my first year as governor we

found out we were going to be parents. and time passed. on february 27th, 1980, 15 minutes after i got home from the national governor's conference in washington, hillary's water broke and off we went to the hospital. chelsea was born just before midnight. and it was the greatest moment of my life. the miracle of the new beginni beginning. the hole filled for me because my own father died before i was born. and that absolute conviction that my daughter had the best mother in the whole world. [ applause ]

for the next 17 years, through nurse see school, kindergarten, t-ball, softball, soccer, volleyball, her passion fog ballet. her sleepovers, summer camp, family vacations and chelsea's own very ambitious excursions, from halloween parties in the neighborhood to viennese waltz gala in the white house. hillary first and foremost was the mother. she became as she often said our family's designated worrier. born with an extra responsibility gene. truth is we rarely disagreed on parenting, although she did believe and i had gone a little over the top when i took a couple much days off with chelsea to watch all six police academy movies back to back. when chelsea was nine months

old, i was defeated for re-election in the reagan landslide. and i became overnight, i think, the youngest former governor in the history. governor. we only had two-year terms back then. hillary was great. immediately she said, okay, what are we going to do? here is what we're going to do, we're going to get a house, you're going to get a job, we're going to enjoy being chelsea's parents. and if you really want to run again, you got to go out and talk to people, figure out why you lost, tell people you got the message. and show them you still got good ideas. i followed her advice. within two days we had a house. i soon had a job. we had two fabulous years with chelsea, in 1982 i game the first governor in the history of our state to be defeated and elected again. i think my experience -- pretty

good thing to follow her advice. the rest of the decade sort of flew by. as our lives settled into a rhythm of family and work and friends. in 1983, hillary chaired a committee to recommend new education standards, as a part of -- response to a court order equalize funding and report by national expert that said, our woefully under funded schools were the worst in america. typical hillary, she held listening tours in all 75 counties with our committee. she came up with really ambitious recommendations. for example, that we be the first state in america to require elementary counselors in every school, because so many kids were having trouble at home and they needed it. i called the legislature into session hoping to pass the

standards, the pay raise for teachers, raise the sales tax to pay for it all. i knew it would be hard to pass, but it got easier as hillary testified before the education committee and the chairman a plain spoken farmer said, looks to me like we elected the wrong president. well at the time i ran for p president nine years later, the same expert who said that we had the worst schools in america said that our state was one of the two most improved states in america. and that is because of those standards that hillary proposed. now two, years later hillary told me about a preschool program developed in isreal called hippy, home instruction program for preschool youngsters. even those that couldn't read to be their children's first teacher. she said she thought it would

work in arkansas, that's great. what are we going to do? i already did. i called a woman who started the program she'll be here in about ten days to help us get started. next thing you know i'm being dragged around to all these little preschool graduations. keep in mind this is before any state had universal kindergarten i'm being dragged to preschool graduations watching these poor parents with tears in their eyes because they never thought they would be able to help their kids learn. now, 20 years of research have shown how well this program works to improve readiness for school and academic achievement. there are lot of young adults in america who have no idea hillary had anything to do with it, they were enjoying better lives because they were in that program. she did all this while being a full-time worker, a mother and enjoying our life. why? well, she's insatiable curious,

a good organizer she's the best darn change maker i ever met in my entire life! this is a really important point. this is saw really important point for to you take out of this convention. if you believe in making change from the bot up up, if you believe measure of change how many people's lives are better, you know it's hard some people think it's boring. speeches like this are fun. i actually doing the work is hard, so people say, well, we need to change. she's been around a long time. she sure has. and she has sure been worth every single year she's put into making people's lives better. [ cheering and applause ] i can tell you this if you were

sitting where i'm sitting and you heard what i have heard at every dinner conversation, every lunch conversation, every long walk, you would say, this woman has never been satisfied with the status quo in anything. she always wants to move the ball forward. that is just who she is s. when i became president with commitment to reform health care, hillary was a natural to head the health care task force. you all know we failed because didn't break that sennal filibuster. hillary immediately went to work on solving the problems one by one. most important goal was to get more children with health insurance. in 1997 congress passed the

children's health insurance program. still an important part of president obama's affordable care act. it ensures more than eight million kids. there are lot of other things that she got done, piece by piece, pushing that rock up the hill. in 1987 she also teamed with the house minority leader, tom del delay, who may be disliked me more than any of the newt gingrichs. they worked on a bill in to crease adoption of children out of foster care. she won because she knew that tom delay were all about differences, was an adopted parent she honored him during that. now, the bill they worked on passed with overwhelming bipartisan majority led to a big

increase in the adoption of children out of foster care including special needs kids. it made life better because she is a change maker, that's what she does. now, when you are doing all this, real life doesn't stop. 1997, was the year chelsea finished high school went to college. we were happy for her but sad for us. to see her go. i'll never forget moving her into her dorm room at stanford. it would have been a great little reality flick. there i was staring out the window trying not to cry, there was hillary on her hands and knees desperately looking for one more drawer to put that liner paper in.

finally, chelsea took charge and told us ever so gently that it was time for us to go. so we closed the big chapter in the most important work of our lives. as you'll see thursday night when chelsea speaks, hillary's done a pretty fine job of being a mother. and as you saw last night beyond that shadow of a doubt, so has michelle obama! now, in 1999 congressman charlie wrangle and other new york democrats urged hillary to run

for the seat of retiring senator pat moynihan. we always intended to go to new york after our last job, but this never occurred to either one of us. hillary never run for office before but she decided to give it a try. she began her campaign the way she always does things, listening and learning. after a tough battle in new york, elected her to the seat once held by another outsider, robert kennedy. and she didn't let him down. her early years were dominated by 9/11 by working to fund the recovery, then monitoring the compensation to victims and second responders. she and senator schumer were

tireless so were our house members. in 2003 partly spurred on what we were going through she became first senator in history of new york ever to serve on the armed services committee. so, she was trying to make sure people on the battlefield had proper equipment. she tried to expand and did expand health care coverage to reservists and members of the national guard. she got longer family leave working with senator dodd, people caring for wounded service members. and she worked for more extensive care for people with traumatic brain injury. she also served on a special pentagon commission to propose changes necessary to meet our new security challenges. newt gingrich is on that commission. he told me what a good job she had done. i say that because nobody who is seriously dealt with the men and women in today's military

believe they are a disaster. they are a national treasure of all races, all religions, all walks of life. now, meanwhile, she compiled a really solid record, totally progressive on economic and social issues, voted for and against proposed trade deals. she became the de facto economic development officer for the area of new york outside new york city. she worked with farmers, wine makers, for small businesses and manufacturers. or upstate cities in rural areas who needed more ideas and more new investment to create good jobs. something we have to do again in small town and rural america in neighborhoods that have been left behind in our cities and in the coal country.

which lost a hard fought contest to president obama in united states. worked for her election hard but she hesitated to say yes when he asked her to join his cabinet. because she so loved being the senator from new york. so, like me in a different context, had to keep asking. but as we all saw and heard from madeleine albright it was worth the effort and worth the wait. a secretary of state she worked hard to get strong sanctions against iran's nuclear program and in what the wall street a half court shot at the buzzer. she got russia and canada to support. her team negotiated with russia to reduce nuclear weapons and

reestablish a section, she got enough republican support to get two-thirds of the senate to vote necessary to ratify the treaty. she flew all night long from cambodia to the middle east to get a cease fire that would avoid a full outshooting war between gaza and -- between hamas and israel and gaza. to protect the people in the region. she got president obama's decision to go after osama bin laden. she launched a team, this is really important today, she launch add team to fight back against terrorists online and a new global counter terrorism effort. we've got to win this battle in the mine field. she put climate change at center of our foreign policy. she negotiated the first agreement ever for china and

india official ly committed to reduce emissions. as she has been doing, since she went to beijing in 1995 and said women's rights are human rights and human rights are women's rights. she worked to empower women involved around the world and to make the same exact declaration on behalf of the lgbt community in america and around the world. [ cheering and applause ] nobody ever talked about this much. it's important to me. she tripled the number of people with aids in poor countries whose lives are being saved with your tax dollars. most of them in africa, going to

5.1 million lives saved it didn't cost you any more money. she just bought available f.d.a. approved generic drugs, something we need to do for the american people. now, you don't know any of these things. but i'll give it to you they know you. they know you because they see you are making think lives matter. they know you, that's one reason approval in the united states was 20 points higher when she left the secretary of state's office than when she took it. now how does this square with the things that you heard at the republican convention. what's the difference in what i told you and what they said. how do you square. you can't. what is real -- one is real, the

other is made up. and you just have to decide which is which, my fellow americans. the real one had done more positive change making before she was 30 than many public officials do in a lifetime in office. the real one if you saw her friend who voted for illinois today, past friends from childhood through arkansas where she has not lived in more than 20 years, have gone all across america at their own expense to fight for the person they know. the real one has earned the

loyalty and respect for people who have worked with her in every stage of her life. including leaders around the world who know her to be able, straight forward and completely trustworthy. the real one calls you when you're sick, when your kid is in trouble or when there's a death in the family. the real one repea repeatedly gt praise from prominent republicans when she was a senator and secretary of state. so what's up with this. well, if you win elections on fear that government is always bad and will mess up the two-car parade, a real change maker represents a real threat. so, your only option is to create a cartoon alternative.

cartoons are two dimensional, they're he's tee absorb. life in the real world is complicated and real change is hard. and a lot of people even think it's boring. good for you, because earlier today you nominated the real one. we got to get back on schedule.

i have lived a long, full, blessed life. it really took off when i met and fell in love with that girl in the spring of 1971. when i was president, i worked hard to give you more peace and shared prosperity, to give you an america where nobody is invisible or counted out. but this time hillary is uniquely qualified to seize the opportunity and reduce the risk we face. and she is still the best darn change maker i have ever known! you could drop her in to any

trouble spot, pick one. come back in a month and somehow, some way she will have made it better. that is just who she is. there are clear, achievable, affordable responses to our challenge. but we won't get to them if america makes the wrong choice in this election. that's why you should elect her because she'll never quit when the going gets tough. she will never quit on you. she sent me in the primary to west virginia where she knew we were going to lose, the look those coal miners in the eye and say, "i'm down here because hillary sent me to tell you that if you really think you can get the economy back, but if she wins, she is coming back for you

to take you 'lone on the ride to america's future." so i say to you, this country, you are working hard, paying taxes, obeying the law you'd like to become a citizen, you should choose immigration reform over somebody wants to send you back. if you're a muslim and you love america and freedom and you hate terror, stay here and help us win and make a future together. we want you. if you're a young african american disillusioned and afraid, we saw in dallas how

great our police officers can be, help us build a future where nobody is afraid to walk outside including the people in blue to protect our future. hillary will make us stronger together. you know it because she spent a lot of time doing it. i hope you'll do it. i hope you'll elect her. those of us who have more yesterdays than tomorrows and care more about our children and grandchildren. the reason should you elect her is that in the greatest country on earth we have always been about tomorrow, your children and grandchildren will bless you

forever if you do. god bless you, thank you. [ cheering and applause ] >> pelley: bill clinton, 47th president of the united states running for office again. this time running for the position of first gentleman. and in this speech we heard his wife's new marketing phrase. the real one. >> o'donnell: the best darn change maker i have ever met in my life, a phrase he said twice, what every sign in this convention says. i thought it was striking the narrative, he was trying to rewrite her narrative and biography by taking us back to 1971 falling in love with her, talking about her values, talking about wife and mother

not so much as first lady senator or secretary of state. john dickerson is right there on the podium with our closest, john? >> dickerson: that's right. a speech of personal testimony but also a job recommendation. campaign said when he was named at vice president if you want to know what a person is really like look what they cared about before politics. and so bill clinton went through a long list of all the committees and reports and studies, before she was in politics. all character witnessing for her. but the job recommendation part was interesting. that idea of change maker she's running against change. donald trump and his campaign is saying we are change and that hillary clinton not change she's been involved in politics for a long time. what bill clinton is changing the definition. he was saying change only comes about through hard work then telling story of how she's so

good at that. these are two different concepts of change we'll have in this election. >> pelley: down to the floor to hear delegates who made history, start with nancy cord cordes. >> one of the greatest things that believe that republicans have created a caricature of hillary clinton over decades that does not resemble the real person. they say frustratingly that many americans have that view. so, bill clinton speech was to tell a story about who she was as a mother, as a wife, as a public speaker. to make the case that you have to now choose american people between the real hillary and who would know her better than bill clinton or the cartoon as he put it the republicans have created because she has change maker. he made the case that she may be someone who is so threatening because she gets so much done.

>> o'donnell: let's to go gayle king on the floor. >> king: i'm right here, nancy, thanks. this is the word i kept hearing about bill clinton, heart warming. he had a job to do he did it well. many people feel, you've heard this many times that hillary clinton is most famous person that you don't know. well bill clinton wanted us to know about her. took us on a very long chronology of their lives from their first meeting, to chelsea's birth to the first job to, their proposal. one delegate said to me, be sure to tell a lot of stories, i like hearing what he has to say. he gave us in sight into who she is as a woman, as a mother, as a wife as a future president. clearly a very proud husband. norah and scott, back to you guys. >> o'donnell: that's right. bill clinton the storytelling with us a his lip biting. back from philadelphia in just a minute. minute. i have asthma... ...one of many pieces in my life. so when my asthma symptoms kept coming back

on my long-term control medicine. i talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment with breo. once-daily breo prevents asthma symptoms. breo is for adults with asthma not well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. breo won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. breo opens up airways to help improve breathing for a full 24 hours. breo contains a type of medicine that increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization in children and adolescents. breo is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. once your asthma is well controlled, your doctor will decide if you can stop breo and prescribe a different asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. do not take breo more than prescribed. see your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. ask your doctor if 24-hour breo could be a missing piece for you. see if you're eligible for 12 months free at mybreo.com.

>> pelley: back from philadelphia with norah o'donnell, bob schieffer and charlie rose. charlie, what did you think of the president's speech. >> schieffer: this was the most important speech of his life. he said that. he thought she stood by him, we stand by her and he believed she's a change agent wanted this audience and this country to know that. >> pelley: change is the key word. >> o'donnell: bob schieffer. >> schieffer: they knew going into this that those polls, a lot of people don't like her don't trust her this is the beginning of telling people why you should trust her. i'll also say this he never mentioned donald trump once, i

thought that was interesting. and no disrespect to mrs. trump, but i think that bill clinton tonight won the best spouse speech. >> o'donnell: because he told stories. he started off talking about that moment when he first met, reached out to touch her and he couldn't and she walked away. wanting to meet her. i got the sense he was describing how he fell in love with her because he wanted the american public to fall in love with her. >> schieffer: nobody ever said bill clinton can't make a good speech. if you want a political speech he's probably as good a bet that he's going to make a good one. >> pelley: so that the people come alive. >> o'donnell: nancy you've been there on the floor what is the reaction? nancy? >> i'm here with a north carolina delegate. what you thought of the speech tonight? >> it was absolutely amazing. bill clinton is like he's talking to you personally. he seems to have that air about

him where you feel like he's pulling you in, it's all about you. >> what did you think of the notion that there's a real hillary and cartoon hillary, something that resonated with you? >> being a woman and being a professional woman and knowing the fight that women have to go through every day, they have been after hillary clinton since she lost to obama. they knew she wanted to run they have been fighting against her the whole time. >> do you feel you witnessed history? >> we witnessed herstory not necessarily history. >> thank you so much. >> o'donnell: nancy cordes thank you. check in one more time with john dickerson. >> dickerson: that frame of being cartoon hillary and real hillary, this goes back to bill clinton when he was a candidate himself. he what he's spacing don't let the other side trick you. don't let them fool you with political tricks. he's making the case that this should be serious election and
