for senate because he says "i'm over joyed to see donald trump embrace most of the issues that i've championed for years" he said he'll be the one man who will stand up for the rights an heritage for white people in this country. day one the republican side of the general election this year that does it for us tonight. good to be with you this morning. i'm frances rivera at headquarters in new york. 7:00 a.m. in the east. the pick is in. we are just hours away from the first official appearance as running mates. the latest on who hillary clinton selected and why some democrats are raising questions. >> donald trump wasting no time putting a label on clinton's vp choice. what is it and why? still a mystery. police in germany looking for answers after a mall attack shut down the second largest city in that country. >> dangerous heat. in the midst of a string of 90 plus degree days. the forecast with critical warnings this morning.

we begin with presidential politics. and the newly formed democratic ticket. hillary clinton will formally introduce senator tim kaine as her running mate later today at a rally in miami. moments after clinton tweeted the announcement, the virginia senator also took to twitter and shared his excitement in both english and spanish. donald trump attacked senator kaine asking, is that the same kaine that took hundreds of thousands of dollars in gifts while governor of virginia and didn't get whited while bob m did? it was legal under virginia law. meanwhile, new reaction from the republican nominee about senator ted cruz's in famous rnc speech. it is part of an interview that will air on cbs sunday morning tomorrow. >> he did get booed off the stage. that's a good thing as far as

i'm concerned. i gave him a home. i defeated him soundly by millions and millions of votes. it wasn't like it was close. i gave him a home. i had if he would like to speak, speak. he was fine. nothing earth shaking. and the arena aoe resulted in boos towards the end of his speech because they saw he wasn't going to in tkors and i thought that was a beautiful thing. >> as the presumptive democratic nominee looks ahead to her party's convention next week, she is also weighing in on the republican convention. cruz's speech in particular. here's what she told supporters at a rally in tampa last night. >> are we ready to go win an election in november? well i think after the last week what we saw in cleveland, we better be ready to go in an election in november. something has gone terribly wrong when one speaker says vote your conscience and get booed.

i mean, i never thought i would say these words, but ted cruz was right. >> political writer for the "washington post" and columnist with roll call and co author of the hillary clinton biography. good morning to you. thanks for being with me as we start with phillip here. initial reaction, the pluses, minuses, the boringness being embraced by hillary clinton and him. >> this is not a particularly rock the boat sort of pick, which i think is is done to draw contrast with the republican ticket or specifically the guy at the top of the republican ticket. tim kaine has served every level of government. before that, he was a lawyer who worked on fair housing and discrimination cases. he has a lot of attributes you would look for. he is clearly someone who the clinton campaign thinks can step in and be president if

necessary. he speaks spanish. he is well liked on capitol hill. the traditional pick of course is not what progressive groups and bernie sanders backers would want to see. they worry about some of his past positions on trade, some of his past positions on wall street. we have seen a little bit of that start to rumble so far. in general, this is exactly what clinton wanted. they would put it out there. he would be fine. he would be good if needed. but isn't otherwise going to causality of stress. >> to think this all started with two blinders delivered to the hillary clinton camp for her to go over the names initially. jonathan, why was kaine picked over elizabeth warren, who was the name being floated around. cory booker and tom vilsack as well. >> if you're the clinton folks, if you're hillary clinton,

you're looking around phil made a lot of points why he had pluses for them. i think one of the things is is tim kaine has a foreign policy, somebody working on national security issues the last couple of kwaoers in armed services and foreign relations committees. the other candidates did not. tom vilsack had a profile that was more like tim kaine. he got on the committees so he would be in a good position to run for national office. that's exactly what hillary clinton did when she got to the senate from new york in 2000. she could balance out a resume that did not have a foreign policy and national security component. he is showing he thinks like her

in terms of political strategy. >> it might be important with states where he's from. look at our battleground map. virginia is a toss-up state. does kaine put that firmly in the democrat column? >> he puts it more solidly democratic. you know, hillary clinton leads by five points in the most recent politics in virginia. that's a pretty substantial lead. especially relative to a lot of other toss-up states. a vice presidential pick gives a two-point bump. certainly wouldn't throw virginia into is that column. this is a state that was more likely not going to go for hillary clinton anyway unless something dramatic happens on the national scale. >> coming out of the gop convention, i got a kick of your column with the headline.

thanks gop, xoxo, hillary. a gift wrapped in a little beautiful bow to the hillary clinton camp. >> yeah. a guy writes correspondence for hillary clinton named rob russo. i think he will be busy with the thank you notes to republican speakers from chris christie, melania trump, down the line to ted cruz. she mentioned she thought ted cruz was right. she got a lot of gifts from speakers. the last speech of the night donald trump did a lot better than the expectations were. >> given that, do you think he's going to get any bump without going forward? >> hard to predict. but i don't see him losing ground, which was the fear of the republicans going in. >> interesting to say with so much red-faced anger that many criticize that speech. phillip, to you, do you think

he'll get any kind of bump and, if so, how much of it? >> usually there is a little bit of a bump. not always. it is declining over time anyway. the democrats will step on it by having their convention this week. one would expect to see a little bit of a bump. >> we'll see when it comes out, especially the general versus a lot of the attacks. even ted cruz in the primary. we will see that and follow it. to both of you, as always, thank you. now to donald trump and nbc's jacob rascon with the latest from the campaign. he's in philadelphia this morning. jacob, how is the campaign reacting to clinton's vp pick? >> so he is up early before 7:00. he already sent out four different tweets on that issue. he sent one yesterday as well. i'll read just one of them.

tim kaine and always has been owned by the banks. bernie supporters are outraged. he talks about bernie sanders and suggests some sort of fight in philadelphia over the pick. this is him trying to get in the news again, of course. he knows this is hillary clinton's week. look for him to do this sort of thing repeatedly to have his opinion out in tweets, statements or other ways. that's four tweets just before 7:00 this morning. he seems to be excited that it is not someone in his mind would be that bernie sanders supporters would be excited about. he's often talked about needing to run as an independent, for example. he's just trying on the other side to get in the news, to talk about bernie sanders in a way that he says bernie sanders supporters should come over to him. they should be upset for hillary clinton. you saw him mention that seniority is of thing during the convention week. so donald trump seems to be

excited about this in tim kaine. >> where will we see him later today? they will both formally show up in florida later today with that announceme announcement. where is donald trump going to be? >> i'm not sure he hosni public appearances. we know hillary clinton will be out with tim kaine. but donald trump, as far as he and pence are concerned, i'm not sure they have any public events scheduled so far. >> appreciate it from philadelphia where the upcoming site of the dnc this week. thank you. >> hillary clinton will make her first appearance with senator tim kaine in florida today. kristen welker is in tampa. what's the mood like inside the campaign knowing there was a lot of watchers out there going to see if she was going to postpone it given the events in germany. but that announcement made villa text and tweet.

so what's the mood inside the campaign? >> the campaign is feeling they have a lot of momentum heading into today as they get set to hold their first joint appearance as a ticket. the 58-year-old father of three is someone who checks all the boxes and reaction is still pouring in this morning. hillary clinton making it filler. her number two is virginia senator tim kaine. he campaigned not mentioning her pick. >> are we ready to go win an election in november? >> by 7:30, soon after her event wrapped, she rhode islandry and offered him a job. a half an hour later, welcome him to our teen. between kaine tweeted, i'm happy to be her running mate. >> i knew she would pick someone not by who could best help her

win an election but someone who could govern if something should happen to her. >> some say he is too trade and soft on wall street republicans also pounced. trump tweeting, is it the same kaine that took hundreds of thousands in gifts while governor of virginia? a reference he got for accepting $160,000 worth of gifts while in office, which were ultimately deemed legal. still, for clinton, the choice was clear. when the two campaigned together last week in virginia, campaign officials say clinton was impressed by kaine's down-to-earth campaigning style. he is a former governor with foreign policy experience who also speaks spanish. now, clinton is hoping kaine speaks to all voters and helps

her win the white house. >> now, as for that criticism that kaine is is not progressive enough, campaign officials tell me they will spend the next couple days showing his record proves otherwise. he's been criticized for being a little bit boring. that's something hillary clinton says she loves about him. they are hoping their event has plenty of sizzle as they court voters. >> kristen welker, thank you very much. what we know about the shooter in the munich mall attack. why police have yet to determine the motive. that's next. ♪ take on the unexpected with a car that could stop for you. nissan safety shield technologies, available in the altima, sentra and maxima. now get 0% apr for 72 months, plus $500 bonus cash.

new word this morning what was behind a shooting rampage in munich, germany. nine people died after a gunman opened fire at a shopping mall and restaurant friday night. 16 others were wounded.

police say the gunman took his own life. the attack appears to be a classic shooting rampage, in their words, and not terrorism. ron mott is live this morning. ron, what more are we learning? >> reporter: well, hey there, frances. good morning to you. it was a very night, a warm friday night. a lot of people out enjoying themselves. everything was routine. then absolute chaos on erupted. bullets started firing, the sound of gunfire crackling in the air. >> video shooting. the gun mapp, dressed in black, pulls out a gun and begins to fire as people rupp for cough. within minutes, police and ambulances flood nearby streets as verified shoppers flee from the scene. it began just before 6:00 at the biggest shopping mall.

shots fired at the mcdonald's restaurant and then inside the mall. >> there was a family approaching us. they were screaming. they were in panic. they were in shock. >> nine people killed, seven of them teenagers. streets sealed off. the transit system shut down. highways closed. people warned to stay inside. as heavily arms police and soldiers initially thought there were three shooters. i'm german, he yells to the person filming, and eventually fires his gun. the suspect is's body was found about two and a half hours later he was an 18-year-old german iranian. his motives still unclear. later into the night, those trapped were bussed to safety. while heavily armed police

raided an apartment. this morning the shopping mall remains closed as residents came to pay tribute and investigators continue searching for clues. a seven of the suspect's home turned up no connection to isis for terror for that matter. this 18-year-old had been treated for depression, psychiatric treatment, and was heavily arm with about 300 yards, frances. >> rob, wow, is there anything we're learning about victims, or the shooting from this 18-year-old was random? >> it was ran dam. and it appears to have been -- there's been some reporting that children were targeted. in the seven of the nine killed were teenagers believed to have started in the mcdonald's restaurant, which is on the left-hand side of the street. once he finished there, he crossed the street the shopping

mall. >> so tragic to learn these were young lives that were taken. we will learning about their identities and the shooting as wellment ron mott from munich, germany. ron, thank you. the dangerous weather americans across the country are facing today. i approve this message. donald trump: i could stand in the middle of 5th avenue and shoot somebody and i wouldn't lose any voters, okay? and you can tell them to go f--- themselves! you know, you could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever... you gotta see this guy. ahh, i don't know what i said, ahh.

welcome back. i'm frances rivera in new york. the clinton campaign is gearing up for a big day today when she

announces her rupping mate, senator tim kaine, at a rally at noon as clinton gets ready to deliver her big speech, she's attacking donald trump for the message in his. here's told supporters at a rally in tampa last night. >> he doesn't speak for anyone who thinks our country should be standing together, not splintering apart. >> standing monday in philadelphia, we will off a different vision. it's about building best of my knowledges, not walls between people. #. >> casey is in miami. we talk about this and also the reaction following clinton's vp pick. what more are you hearing? >> hi, frances. good to see you. we are in miami where we are expecting hillary clinton to campaign today with her newly minted running mate, senator tim

kaine, who of course does speak spanish. that's part of the reason why we might be here today. this is the kind of place we will be able to showcase that particular part of tim kaine's resume. the clinton campaign giving us some new details about how this process played out on. it was very secretive. it was done by her very top aides. over a year ago, john podesta, campaign chair, former whose chief of staff, taking binders about these in a dwayne reid pharmacy shopping to her home. we thought tim kaine was not at the top but near the top of this list. it turns out that's who she went with. he checks all the boxes. it means she didn't have to

worry he's vulnerable for not having national security experience. he was a governor of virginia. all the ways for people to step into the presidency, she feels tim could do that. they were looking at voters particularly in ohio and pennsylvania. these key swing states. that is part of the calculus here. we haven't heard her talk about kaine yet. here's the speech they gave at the rnc. take a look. >> donald told us, i am your voice. >> audience b on oos. >> well, i don't think he speaks for most americans, do you?

contrary to what they tried to say at their convention, i don't think he speaks for women. i don't think he speaks is for working families who would be devastated by his reckless economic policies. he doesn't speak for anyone who thinks our country should be standing together, not splintering apart. >> this of course more of the message that we're expecting to hear today. this idea that hillary clinton is going to show she and senator tim kaine do speech for all the constituencies she injured. the clinton complain does believe this election will come down to florida. if they can win here, it almost doesn't matter what the rest of the map looks like. it would be so difficult for donald trump to get to 270 if she can pull off a win in the

sunshine state. self pro claimed boring. he's acknowledged that. apparently she loves that as well. they are supposed to take on the attack dog role. is it going to make a difference that tim may not necessarily be that? >> well, the first rule of this process is is do no harm. they feel as though they can make a confident -- this is a safe pick, let's be honest. this doesn't risk a riski, high potential of payoff. elizabeth warren might have been able to take on this role in more of the attack dog way. she has shown she can attack from the sidelines. i saw the two of them together last week annondale.

they think he can be sharp enough to fulfill that role, frances. >> all right. msnbc's casey hunt for us in miami. she will be there on that ticket later today. all crucial, important florida. thank you very much. also important, philadelphia. shifting to the gop. joining me now is editorial for penn live and patriot news. john, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> good morning. as we look back on the gop convention last week, it started with melania. and the certain lineseerly similar to michelle obama to the very end. and 76 minutes of donald trump. was your takeaway? >> the organization will not probably be be the hallmark of the republican national convention in cleveland, frances. a lot of strange, weird moments.

chris christie's mob show, trial of clinton. and topbld trump is very dark, tkpwaoply, 75-minute acceptance speech. the mood in the quicken loans center is republicans were jubilant. it was a strange tone to set. you sometimes think they will be a bright vision of what the candidates want to do. there wasn't a lot of that. there was a lot of fear. it was a weird week. >> when it comes to off the convention stage and the airwaves, did you get a sense while this was all going on in the quicken center that hillary clinton's ads were likening the airwaves there and they didn't have much of a president when it comes to that? >> that seems to be the case. it was a good strategy by the clinton made.

a lot going on inside the convention. they are very much on top of that. we're going to see some of that in the coming weeks as well. they will be in scranton the coming week. they are not as nimble as the clinton campaign has been. >> do you think you will see anywhere near the drama or in your just ways, weirdness, weird week what we saw in cleveland? will that be pair led at all in any way? you will see a lot. clinton people will focus on donald trump's unfitness to lead. his business dealings. his personal life. it will be a different kind of nastiness to cleveland. we have the sanders people coming in, promising counter demonstrations. cleveland was remarkably well behaved in terms of protesters. they most live kept themselves to public square in downtown.

whether there will be any honest to goodness discourse, i don't know. >> how much praise are you giving to trump saying when it comes to pennsylvania, he can win it. despite you're saying going for the democratic candidate in every election since 1992? >> yeah. that's right. the republicans have had a terrible run of luck here. talking with senior staff republicans, they are looking to end the 28-year dry spell. they appoint to clinton's high negative. 35/61 introduced last week coming into cleveland. trump will have a hard time penetrating philadelphia and the suburbs. he won't win pittsburgh. but former coal country, steel country, blue collar working class democrats, that can-can conceivably move over.

they were in a dead heat in that quinnipiac poll as well. i don't think they can take pennsylvania for granted. >> thank you so much for being with me this morning. >> you bet. thanks. we have new information on that shooting rampage in munich. police say the attack appears to have been a classic shooting page and not terrorism. nine people died after a gunman opened fire at a shopping center and restaurant monday night. malcolm, as always, good to have you with me. we are fining out more. authorities in munich saying there is no evidence of terrorism in the attack. but this person is an 18-year-old german/iranian. didn't have a police record here. but you consider this is the first in eight days. why do you think you are seeing a rash of attacks? well, we need to put it into a broader context.

why are we seeing it in the united states and other parts of the world? i think what's happening now is a new phase of terrorism to a certain extent that doesn't even involve terrorism. in fact, we might be having a contagion contagion that brings the attacks like you saw in nice and organized like you saw in bangladesh. and i think people may be jumping on that train like this emotionally disturbed person in munich. and these terrorist gunmen in dallas and baton rouge. we may continue to see activity. >> pretty much an anger on one side and rational swraeizatiora. . as a citizen of the united states or the world to feel safe knowing authorities out there

really -- how do you tackle that? >> well, in fact, this is a activity which requires counter messaging. and counter narrative. what's happening happening? appears to be people are harnessing their internal angers, seeing people how like other terrorist groups are messaging is and getting their message out to a billion people by doing horrific acts of violence and hoping their act can be seen in that exact same media light. so law enforcement and government are going to have to, one, ratchet down some of the rhetoric going on. some of the groups in europe are creating conditions to where not only are rightist nationalist groups like the neonazis, you know, going up and pressuring immigrants. but now you see an immigrant german born in germany acting out his own complaints in a skin they're that almost looks like

isis. same with dallas. same with baton rouge. people that had nothing to do with things things. but government, media and law enforcement will have to help caution down the rhetoric and delinking the threats from isis to the broader aoe phoerbly disturbed audience in the these nations. >> malcolm, what's difficult there, every time we have one of these shootings, the dialogue becomes the same. in essence, it becomes routine. we say it after dallas, after baton rouge, after this, after nice. when you say calm down the rhetoric, there is that. but what on the intelligence level can be done to make sure these kind of scenarios are prevented in the future? is is there anything that can be done? >> there are two types of loan

wolf op actives. known wolves and unknown sroflz. like this young man from germany yesterday. he acts out in his own mind and goes and does it. it is difficult counterintelligence problem. the only thing you can do is is rely on the public to actually see some of the indicators. there was an incident that occurred a few years ago. a young man was emotionally disturbed. saw something he saw in the media. took his guns and was going to go to the aclu offices and kill eufr everyone. his mother called police and they intercepted him on the highway. even if somebody hears a rumor about joking, they need to call it in. they may be the ones critical of stopping an incident. >> waoelg see as we learn more

about this incident in munich. we know now when it comes to nice, that attacker planned over a year in advance. malcolm nance, thank you as always. enlightening to have your perspective. thank you. >> my pleasure to be here. is is ted cruz's political career over? donald trump would like to think so. i will talk to cruz's national spokesperson about that. tomorro? dr. scholl's massaging gel work insoles absorb a hard day on your feet for comfort that keeps you feeling more energized. dude's got skills. dr. scholl's work insoles.

not were you in the room when donald trump got nominated fl i think that's significant. >> you gave a plat out no, his political career is not ruined. does that mean does ted cruz -- hillary clinton would want to win in 2016 so ted cruz can jump back in and run in 2020. is that what he plans. >> he's not a calculated politician, he's a principled guy. he already said the next day he was not voting for hillary clinton. he might vote for donald trump but it's unlikely he would endorse him. >> ahead, push back for 2020, not the calculating politician but you all think about the future, he wants to do it, a principled maybe. in that sense, for the sake of principle and the direction of the united states, do you see that being a thought in his mind looking ahead 2020 and running then, having hillary clinton within this time around so he can do that? >> i don't think so. i think he'll focus on re-election in the senate. by the way, also focusing on, as

he has, helping conservative candidates across the country be lebroned to congress in not only the house and senate. he'll work from the senate. look, if the opportunity prebts itself, and he would run again. that would probably mean hillary would win but may mean donald trump wins and his administration is a disaster. we don't hope that. we hope it is good, not what many of us predict. if the opportunity presents itself ted cruz came in second, had the best organized campaign, lots of funding. he'll be 45 years old and very likely he'd run. >> quickly, rick, would you want to see the opportunity present itself. >> i think ted cruz -- let me say this, i don't think ted cruz's career is over by any stretch. >> i like the way you put that, nice and open. joe, do you want to chime in on that or talk about donald trump and his speech. i know from that 75, 76 minutes he was up there sticking to the prompter in many ways. when he went off it, i was kind

of surprised he was as untrump as he was. would you advise him to take the approach he did? >> you mean with regards to -- >> the tone. right. >> i think he probably did the right thing. he would bring discipline in giving the speech. he stuck to the script. i had a chance to read the speech before he gave it. he stuck to the script. i think he did probably the best thing. going into the convention, he didn't have a lot of unity. some unity but certainly wings of the party that were not behind donald trump. what he did was kind of painted the picture of a common foe and that common foe being hillary clinton. that's what he really said, that and what he would do to change the course of the nation. he had to paint a dark picture in order to show he's the only one that can fix it. >> some say too dark. this is the country we live in, the critics will say, but do you

think the tone of that speech, did you find any inspirational moments, something that would bring independents to him? >> i don't know that people were inspired by the speech. i think people may have been moved by the speech. because if the country is in the kind of condition that donald trump said it's in, you would want to see something to happen to fix it. really depends who you are and where you are individually. if you're hurting right now, not working, working part time, not full time, you don't have benefits. if you're somebody who had a hard time last several weeks you're probably listening closely to donald trump and taking his message to heart. >> okay. when it comes to conventions, most bring a bump to candidates. according to this new reuters poll, here is the latest one, 41% hillary clinton, 38% donald trump. so rick, do you think this will

provide enough of a bump for donald trump? >> no. i think the speech was nightfall america speech in contrast to reagan's morning america. tim kaine is a fairly moderate candidate. shows you she believes progressives have nowhere to go but vote for her. she'll begin her convention and get a bump out of that. surprising how close donald trump is given lack of organizing, fundraising and the amount of fundraising clinton has. it seems clinton is traditionally focused on swing states and donald trump is trying to pick-off some states like pennsylvania that normally wouldn't go for republican. >> now that we're expecting to

see the official ticket of clinto clinto clinto clinton/kaine later in miami. when you contrast that with pence pick, is that something republicans should be worried about? >> i think it was a solid pick on hillary clinton's part. i think it was a very solid pick. donald trump was wise to pick mike pence as a running mate to give conservatives a sense that he wants to work with conservatives. mike pence is a solid conservative. i think tim kaine is a good pick for hillary clinton. he'll help her a great deal on that ticket. >> all right, guys. thank you. thank you. chelsea clinton's role at the convention. will she remains off limits? some insight next. ♪ take on the unexpected with a car that could stop for you. nissan safety shield technologies, available in the altima, sentra and maxima.
