which is why i alone can fix it. >> donald trump takes the reins of the republican party, painting a grim picture of the nation's current state of affairs, while casting himself as the one and only prescription. plus the end of an era in cable news as longtime fox news ceo roger ailes steps down amid a sexual harassment scandal. we'll tell you who's stepping in to his place. and why did a florida police officer shoot a caregiver while he was helping an autistic patient, even though he was like on the ground with his hands in the air? this morning, an explanation is being offered. it's 5:30 on the east coast, 2:30 out west. this is "way too early."

good morning, it's friday, july 22nd i'm chris jansing live from philadelphia, where the democratic national convention is up next. but last night, donald trump accepted the republican nomination for president with a speech on lawlessness, terror, and economic decline. speaking for an hour and 15 minutes, trump delivered the longest convention speech of a presidential nominee since at least 1972. the billionaire promised to champion america, with a heavy emphasis on containing crime and curbing foreign threats. and he pledged to reposition america's standing in the world, fighting for what he dubbed the forgotten men and women of our country. >> americans watching this address tonight have seen the recent images of violence in our streets, and the chaos in our communities. many have witnessed this

violence personally. some have even been its victims. i have a message for all of you, that crime and violence that today afflicts our nation will soon, and i mean very soon, come to an end. beginning on january 20th, of 2017, safety will be restored. americanism not globalism will be our credo, as long -- as we are led by politicians who will not put america first, then we can be assured that other nations will not treat america with respect, the respect that we deserve. every day i wake up determined

to deliver a better life for the people all across this nation that have been ignored, neglected, and abandoned. i have visited the laid-off factory workers, and the communities crushed by our horrible, and unfair, trade deals. these are the forgotten men and women of our country. and they are forgotten. but they're not going to be forgotten long. these are people who work hard but no longer have a voice. i am your voice! >> at one point during his speech trump responded to chants from the convention audience against hillary clinton, adding a line that was not in his prepared remarks. >> in libya, our consulate, the symbol of american prestige

around the globe, was brought down in flames. america is far less safe, and the world is far less stable, than when obama made the decision to put hillary clinton in charge of america's foreign policy. let's defeat her in november. okay? >> and one of trump's signature ideas this cycle has been barring muslims from foreign countries from entering the u.s., so he seemed to modify his approach last night. >> we must immediately suspend immigration from any nation that

has been compromised by terrorism until such time as proven vetting mechanisms have been put in place. we don't want them in our country! >> last night's republican convention also made history when peter field, co-founder of paypal and silicon valley billionaire became the first person to publicly announce to the gop convention that he is gay. >> we are told that the great debate is about who gets to use which bathroom. this is a distraction from our real problems. who cares? of course, every american has a unique identity. i am proud to be gay. i am proud to be a republican. but most of all, i am proud to be an american! >> i will do everything in my power to protect our lgbtq

citizens from the violence and oppression of a hateful, foreign ideology. believe me. and i have to say, as a republican, it is so nice to hear you cheering for what i just said. thank you. >> these cheers come just days after republicans approved a platform in staunch opposition to gay rights. against the supreme court's ruling in favor of same-sex marriage. supporting conversion therapy for gay children. and opposing, quote, dangerous bathroom laws sensitive to the transgender community. one of donald trump's top executives and his closest adviser, his daughter ivanka trump, gave one of the most stirring speeches of the week. she explained his approach to wage equality and advancement for women at his companies, and gave personal stories of her

father, and his accomplishments, drawing it all together under a single theme, vision becoming reality. >> my father values talent. he recognizes real knowledge and skill when he finds it. he is color blind, and gender neutral. he hires the best person for the job, period. words and promises, no matter how visionary they sound, will only get you so far. at my father's company, there are more female than male executives. women are paid equally for the work that we do, and when a woman becomes a mother, she is supported, not shut out. >> ted cruz, meantime, spent much of thursday deflecting the ire from his party after his polarizing convention speech. and in particular, from his home state delegation.

>> i'm not going to get in to criticizing or attacking donald trump. i am not in the habit of supporting people who attack my wife and attack my father. and that pledge was not a blanket commitment that if you go and slander and attack heidi, that i'm going to nonetheless come like a servile puppy dog and say thank you very much for maligning my wife and maligning my father. >> some in your own party are blaming you and that speech last night for sowing more division within the gop. is it your fault? with that speech? >> discussing what we should stand for. we should be standing for freedom and defending the constitution, is a message of unity. and as i said last night very explicitly, the way to unify the party is not to scream and yell and hurl insults. the way to unify the party is to

stand behind shared principles, and shared values. >> -- to ted cruz i'm not i got to be honest with you. i am praying for the people of texas who have to put up with that guy. we irish guys carry grudges. maybe i'll go to your church, and be a little more compassionate. >> no love loss between cruz and john boehner by the way. yesterday a spokesman tweeted that the former house speaker's response after cruz's speech, quote, lucifer is back. now to the other story making front pages around the nation this morning. the head of the dade county police union in north miami is explaining why an officer shot an unarmed caregiver as he was lying on the ground with his hands in the air. the union president says police received a call about a suicidal man walking around with a gun. when officers arrived they found two men, carry giver charles kinsey, and his autistic patient, who actually had a toy truck. here's kinsey trying to explain the situation to police, as he

lay on the ground. [ inaudible ] the union president said the officers didn't hear kensy's plea and actually thought that he was being threatened by his patient. whom they didn't know was autistic at the time. that's when the union president says an officer aimed and fired, trying to hit the patient, but instead hit kinsey in the leg. >> this is not a case of a rogue cop. this is not a case of police abuse. this is a case where a police officer was trying to save mr. kinsly's life, and unfortunately, his shot went astray. >> there is no explanation. there is no reason. there is no rationale. i come from a family of law enforcement officers. there is no reason to shot a man

with his hands up, who's complying with your orders, but even goes one step further, and he's trying to help an autistic, adult comply with you, also. so they basically shot someone who's trying to get another individual to comply with them. that's unacceptable. period. >> kinsey has since been released from the hospital. the miami-dade state's attorney and the u.s. justice department are investigating. the officer, who has not been identified, is on leave, and released a statement through his union saying, quote, i took this job to save lives and help people. i did what i had to do in a split second to accomplish that. and hate to hear others paint me as something that i am not. still ahead the reason why we're here in philadelphia. next week the democrats get a turn to put on a show. which means it's crunch time for hillary clinton to choose a running mate. we'll tell you where the veepstakes stand right now. and later, why the nba all-star game won't be in charlotte. that plus a check on weather,

this is the legacy of hillary clinton, death, destruction, terrorism, and weakness. but hillary clinton's legacy does not have to be america's legacy. the problems we face now, poverty and violence at home, war and destruction abroad, will last only as long as we continue relying on the same politicians who created them in the first place. >> welcome back to "way too early." live from philadelphia. donald trump devoted much of his speech to attacking hillary clinton and her foreign policy record as secretary of state. clinton campaign chairman john podesta responded by saying in part donald trump painted a dark picture of an america in decline and his answer, more fear, more

division, more anger, more hate, was yet another reminder that he is temperamentally unfit and totally unqualified to be president of the united states. trump also name checked bernie sanders last night courting the senator's primary supporters. but the senator was apparently live tweeting last night, responding, those who voted for me will not support trump, who has made bigotry and divisiveness the cornerstone of his campaign. and he has the single most retweeted tweet of the night, quoting trump, i alone can fix this. is this guy running for president or dictator? hillary clinton's search for a vice president is entering the final stretch. nbc news reports her vp announcement will come either today or tomorrow during a campaign swing through florida. "the new york times" speculates that senator tim kaine of virginia will likely be clinton's pick. he was asked about his vp prospects during a roundtable in his home state yesterday. >> senator, you mentioned secretary clinton. do you want to be her running

mate? >> i have said all along what i'm going to say now, which is i'm a happy senator and i'm not looking for another job. i'm a happy senator. i'm not looking for another job. >> the clinton campaign has kept a really tight lid on its search for a running mate, and so, too, have other potential vp candidates. yesterday, senator cory booker said traveling to florida is not on his agenda and said, this to msnbc's kate snow. >> how much contact have you had with the clinton campaign? have, have they, have they reached out, interviewed you, looked at your tax records? >> i have a habit of saying what can i help to help the campaign. i am a ball player from stanford, i'm happy to be on this team regardless of the position i'm playing. we have got to win this election. >> is there any chance that i could announce on the show tonight that you are hillary clinton's vp pick, because that would be huge thing for me to announce on the show. >> steven, i think if it were me, i would know it by now.

so, probably not. but, look, she has lots of good choices and i'm excited to see who she's going to pick. >> fair enough. i had to ask. have a good show. i'll see you out there. >> bye. >> let's get a check on your weather now with nbc meteorologist bill karins. hey, bill, how hot is it going to be this weekend? >> like a johnny carson joke. how hot is it going to be? across the country this is as hot of a map i've seen. as far as duration and size and scope i mean this is just impressive this heat dome goes from the desert southwest and it is now starting to creep towards the east coast. we have heat advisories, warnings, in a watches that go from the phoenix area all the way back here towards philadelphia. the worst of it though is kansas city des moines minneapolis from chicago down to st. louis today. that's where we're going to see the highest heat indices. when we factor in the humidity and the temperature. we also have to deal with severe

weather today, too. northern plains around bismarck to rapid city. from new york city up through new england, scattered strong storms, wind damage definitely, maybe some small hail. isolated tornado is possible. so that's new york city, northward, hartford included. providence, the boston area, albany, all through areas of new hampshire and vermont. the forecast for the upcoming weekend. for today, not often you get l.a. at 95, and boston at 95. and everywhere in between is just as hot. we're going to be about 104 today around wichita. probably one of the single hottest spots in the middle of the country. by saturday nothing much changes. a little relief in the northern half of the country. we're still in the 100s in the central plains. still in the mid 90s from new york to d.c. and then by the time we get to sunday, just maybe a little bit of relief up around boston and new england but the whole southern half of the country, chris, this will last until at least tuesday of next week. >> keep the sunscreen handy. thank you so much bill karins. time now for sports where the nba has made its stand against

north carolina's controversial house bill 2. the league announced yesterday it will no longer host the 2017 all-star game in charlotte, north carolina, as a response to the law which limits anti-discriminatory protections for the lgbt community in the state. in a statement the nba said it hopes to reschedule the game for the city in 2019 saying quote while we recognize the nba cannot choose the law in every city, state and country in which we do business we do not believe we can successfully host our all-star activities in charlotte in the climate created by hb2. the league said it will announce a new venue in the coming weeks but reports indicate new orleans is a favorite with new york and chicago as other possibilities. after the news, north carolina senator jeff jackson fired off a stinging tweet of a crying north carolina governor pat mccrory with the caption he failed our state. he failed our city.

mccrory fired back saying american families should be on notice that the selective corporate elite are imposing their political will on communities in which they do business, thus bypassing the democratic and legal process. when we come back this morning, fox news brings in the big dog to replace roger ailes. and move or stephen colbert. jon stewart is back let's just say he's been away from the election action for way too long. we'll be right back. s team to se for the first time... gilman: go get it, marcus. go get it. ...coach gilman used his cash rewards credit card from bank of america to earn 1% cash back everywhere, every time. at places like the batting cages. ♪ [ crowd cheers ] 2% back at grocery stores and now at wholesale clubs. and 3% back on gas. which helped him give his players something extra. the cash rewards credit card from bank of america. more cash back for the things you buy most. the cash rewards credit card from bank of america. ssoon, she'll be binge-studying. get back to great.

now let's get a check on the morning's other headlines. we head back to cleveland and louis burgdorf. >> good morning, day five in cleveland and we still have a capacity crowd here. let me hear you guys. yeah, baby. whoo. all right. start off this morning with a big story roger ailes resigned as chairman and ceo of fox news yesterday, ending a day of speculation as to his future after a sexual harassment lawsuit was filed against him by a former anchor. 21st century fox co-chairman rupert murdoch will take over as chairman and acting ceo of fox news channel. and the fox business network. ailes is expected to serve as an informal adviser to murdoch. ailes was accused of sexual harassment in a lawsuit filed earlier this month by former fox news host gretchen charlesson. ailes has denied the allegations, and neither he nor fox addressed the widening scandal yesterday. details were not given on the settlement agreement for ailes' contract that was supposed to run through 2018.

but "the new york times" does report that according to two people briefed on the matter ailes will receive around $40 million as part of a settlement agreement. let's turn back now to the convention here in cleveland. donald trump and the republican party are in hot water with rock royalty once again. trump's daughter ivanka walked out last night to the beatles hit "here comes the sun" which was written by george harrison. his estate was not happy about that one, writing on their official twitter account quote the unauthorized use of "here comes the sun" at the rnc in cleveland is offensive and against the wishes of the george harrison estate. they added some british humor though when they later tweeted if it had been beware of darkness referencing the track off the 19 op solo album all things must pass then we may have approved it. all right, finally this morning comedian and former daily show host jon stewart swapped chairs with stephen colbert last night to discuss this week's events at the republican national convention. and though he's been gone for nearly a year it didn't take

long for him to warm up to being back at that desk. >> thanks for stopping by. is there something i could help you with? >> i don't know, maybe talk about the election for a little bit. >> oh, yeah, of course. go ahead. go ahead. >> that's great. actually, you know, for me to do it, i'm just going to -- i'll probably need your desk. >> you want to sit here? >> i mean, yeah -- >> okay, i'll sit -- okay. it's been awhile since i'm -- >> actually, jon, before you -- we got to -- do what you got to do. >> all right. >> well the convention's over. i thought donald trump was going to speak. ivanka said that he was going to come out. she said he was really compassionate and generous, then this angry groundhog came out and he just vomited on everybody for an hour.

>> chris, baton rouge, cleveland, philadelphia, you just don't stop. i don't know how you do it. >> ha, ha. you know what? i just realized how much we all miss, right, jon stewart? so much, louis burgdorf, thank you. come to philly. >> i'm on my way. >> that's going to do it -- really? he's taking the weekend off. don't let him fool you. kid you. that's going to do it for me and "way too early." coming up on "morning joe" more on donald trump's historic night. his acceptance speech seen by some as heavy on the doom and gloom. we'll talk about the steps his campaign needs to take as he shifts to the general election. we've got that and so much more coming up next on "morning joe."
