probably happen. what do you think the democrats' response will be, donna? >> first of all we want to applaud her. after all, michelle obama is adorable. she's phenomenal. and the fact that melania would, you know, take many of her words, some passages 22 out of the 26 words in at least two, you know what, that's great. lift the country up. i thought it was great. it was a positive speech. >> how much irony is in your voice right now. >> a lot but -- >> it's the highest form of flattery. >> it was a positive speech and she looked great. she sounded great and the fact that she was inspired by michelle obama's example of 2008, you know what, donald trump may be inspired by president obama in 2008 and take some of his word, lift them up. why not. >> the hope is right. you think basically they'll be able to move beyond it, something else is going to come up but break down overall what we saw during the course of the day yesterday. did they do what they needed to. >> the thing we talked about

coming into this is can they be disciplined enough in the course of this week to get through one big message that the american public feels? right now after day one they haven't been disciplined enough to do that in the course of this. i think it looks a bit mismanaged and the thing i was struck by more than anything last night is their number one only real rising republican star at the convention ended up speaking to a basically an empty hall, joni ernst, the senator, and to not out of prime time. that was a big problem. >> so that was yesterday. day two, today, what do you expect? >> a lot more acrimony, a lot of perhaps disgruntled delegates who will probably try to express themselves one more time when mr. trump's name is placed into nomination. a lot of red meat, more red meat than outback steakhouse. who knows we might get some, i don't know, some joy out of this. >> you know what i think for sure is happening they are scrubbing donald jr.'s speech and tiffany trump's speech to make sure there's not a single word in there that people think

that is the theme of today's rnc. there are 20 -- there are more than two dozen hillary clinton staffers right there on the ground in cleveland, george, all for this counter convention of their own that they'll be launching every single day of this convention. >> no question about that. i'm sure we will see republicans from philadelphia as well. let's get more from jon karl. i want to begin on picking up what donna was talking about. saw that uproar on the floor, that chaos created in part by those never trump forces. you told me you think they are completely killed after being shut down yesterday but they're likely to try to come back today and there still is some unifying to be done at this convention. >> reporter: oh, absolutely, george. that was a loud and raucous rebellion on the floor and you saw the colorado delegation at one point actually get up and walk out. i've never seen that at a republican convention. they got up and they walked out and did, of course, come back by the time prime time was happening. they will try to make noise. they will try to make their voices

there is clearly a minority, a loud minority but it's a minority on the floor that is simply not happy with donald trump as their nominee. >> as we enter the second day we know we show about a four-point hillary clinton lead coming into this convention but let's take a look at the electoral map and a sense of what donald trump needs to do if he's going to start to catch up. >> reporter: george, at nbc w t what -- at abc what we have done is a ratings. the states in red are those solidly donald trump or leading donald trump. states in blue, hillary clinton or leaning hillary clinton, we list right now at this point only six pure toss-up states. so to give you an idea of how tough the map is for donald trump, he could win the big ones, he could win florida, he could win virginia, he could win ohio and he'd still come up short. he would still need to win somewhere else, perhaps iowa and new hampshire, so this is a map that at the very beginning of the race goes solidly against donald trump. hillary

have to do is win the state of florida. >> yeah, very little margin -- room for error or donald trump. jon karl, thanks very much. george, we turn to the latest on the ambush in baton rouge that left three police officers dead. investigators now say there is no question that the officers were targeted. abc's steve osunsami has the latest. >> reporter: the images police are sharing this morning from surveillance video show 29-year-old gavin long dressed in all black and a face mask carrying one of the semiautomatic weapons that were recovered as he guns down cops. police say he used the rifle and pistol to ambush police at a spot where officers from different agencies fuel up and wash their cars. they found the third rifle in his rented white chevy. >> when he came back around these two baton rouge police officers were right here standing, he shot both of them. >> reporter: investigators say he ignored civilians as he searched for officers. >> i'm hit. i'm by the car wash. i'm hit. left arm. >>

billionaire businessman but funding the gop convention in cleveland hasn't exactly been easy. abc's chief investigative correspondent brian ross on the money trail for us, good morning, brian. >> good morning, robin. these conventions cost big money and also a place where big money is raised and big donors are rewarded. for the first time in recent memory the republicans are having to deal with a lot fewer donors and a lot less money. it's costing more than $60 million just to put on the convention. from the opening fireworks to the 125,000 balloons overhead waiting to be dropped on the last night. but even as the delegates were gathered, the republican party was scraping to come up with the cash to pay for it all with major corporations reportedly sitting it out or backing out. >> some gave reason, some did not. some that gave did talk about sort of the publicity around just this whole election

process. >> reporter: it's the trump factor. fewer ceos, lobbyists and billionaires arriving in their private jets. big parties half empty. despite the best efforts of cleveland's bartenders and its top chefs. >> this is the million dollar ravioli. >> reporter: at the big event last night for republican senators at the rock and roll hall of fame. >> this is closed to the press. >> reporter: more than a third, 19 of the senators never even made it to cleveland for the convention. senator, brian ross from abc. where are all the missing republican senators? 19 didn't show up. >> i think the most important ones are right here. thank you. i'm glad you're here. >> reporter: even when top republicans do show up as at this raucous party sponsored by two billionaire donors and some political consult apartments the name trump is barely mentioned. >> i just want to say thank you to all of you here. >> reporter: reince priebus mentioned his candidate's name only once in his welcoming remarking.

time now for our big board. our team of insiders standing by with more on today's top story, first up the olympics bombshell. russia rocked by a doping scandal. the world anti-doping agency releasing a report confirming allegations of widespread state-sponsored doping of russian athletes across 28 olympic sport, pressure now growing to discipline russia ahead of the rio games and summer sanders, former olympic swimmer joins us now. summer, after this report was released the ioc said they will, quote, not hesitate to take the toughest sanctions against any individual or organization implicated. this is condemning allegations, strong condemnation. what's in that report? >> i know. well, i have to admit this is the first report i've ever read about doping but i did consult a guy who's read a few, travis tiger, the head of the u.s. anti-doping agency and we agree that the two alarming parts of this report were the fact that

it went up to the deputy sports minister and fsb, russia's security service. those are like the cabinet member and secret service involved in such an incredible doping scandal and the word he uses often is that this is mind-blowing and i agree. >> it seems to be and also, summer, russian president vladimir putin, he responded. he said "doping has no place in sport. we will thoroughly root out this evil" while implying that the u.s. is behind this report. now, in your opinion do you think that russia should be banned from the games in rio? >> you know, michael, i am glad i don't have to make this decision and i should add that the ioc is supposed to make their decision today. so we will all learn, but as an olympic athlete who fully believes in the power of that spirit and those rings, our priority is to keep our athletes safe and to have a clean and fair level of play. and to do that, you have to send a message so i think they should be banned but my heart goes out to those few that are playing by

hoping that they have an opportunity to -- for their voice to be heard and for them to fight for their spot in the olympics. >> a fair statement of you because they not only have forensic evidence but interviews where people are admitting it, e-mails. >> we'll keep our eye open to see what comes out of it later today. thank you, summer. and now to that new report about the american academy of pediatrics getting backlash urging doctors to avoid taking an abstinence only approach when talking to teens about sex. the recommendation is coming under fire by parenting groups who say it's not a pediatrician's place to discuss such matters and we brought in our guy to discuss it with us, dr. richard besser. dr. besser, i have one question for you. the aap is stepping up and this is tricky territory here because you have parents who say i don't want you to have that conversation but then you're being told to have that conversation as a doctor, does it put the doctor against the parent? >> well, you know, i hope not.

pediatricians should be talking about sex in a way that's age and developmentally appropriate. one in three teens say their doctors aren't talking to them about sex at all. and when they say we should talk about sex it's not just abstinence. we know from school-based programs abstinence only education does not delay the age at which kids have sex but we have to talk about it but also contraception and sexual responsibility and gender and sexual consent. you know, when you look at what kids are learning in school, fewer than half require sex education and fewer than that require that the information is medically accurate. >> and 88% of teen pregnancies are unplanned. those are the cold facts right there. dr. besser, thanks for being with us. and up next we have kanye west and kim kardashian in hot water potentially facing some charges after posting video of a phone conversation between taylor swift and kanye on snapchat. swift is accusin

character assassination and sunny hostin joins us live. sunny, thanks for being with us. i want to take a look at this snapchat that's stirring up all this controversy. >> go with whatever line you think. it's obviously very topping in cheek and i really appreciate you telling me about it,s that's really nice. >> oh, yeah i just had a responsibility to you as a friend. >> all right, so taylor is upset that kanye used a derogatory term when referring to her in one of his lyrics but he says she gave him concept and the video is proof of that but you know what, kanye may be in trouble for taping this whole thing. explain why. >> that's right because in california is a two-concept state. that's what we call it and that means, it's illegal to tape someone without their knowledge or consent. it's so illegal that you could spend up to a year in jail or even pay a fine for it. >> well, i'm curious, sunny, what would have to happen for charges to be filed and if so, what could they be facing?

there anything else? >> well, it's interesting. yesterday taylor tweeted that kanye secretly recorded their call implying she didn't provide her consent and tmz is reporting that she's considering filing a police report and so if she does that a prosecutor certainly could take that case and it's pretty winnable in california but if i'm her lawyer, michael, i tell her to shake it off. >> shake it off. >> well, you heard kanye say, you know what, i have a responsibility as a friend. i don't think they're friends anymore. all right, thank you, sunny. dr. besser, thank you and summer, thank you so much, as well. >> all right. coming up in two minutes the stars taking over the republican convention, stay with us.

>> i'm terrified. i'm excited. i'm honored. i'm very humbled by it. >> has dad given you any input on what he'd like you to say or is he leaving it up to you? >> he's totally left it up to me. i wish he'd give me input but i think he wants it to come from my heart. says, don't worry, you'll do a great job, don't worry so i'm trying to take that advice but it is -- it's -- it's definitely intimidating moment. >> do you like the way he uses social media. >> well, there's the only filter is himself. he's able to communicate exactly what he wants to say. it has gotten him into trouble occasionally but i think much more powerful is the fact that he speaks from the brain. he speaks from the heart. >> he posted a tweet criticizing hillary clinton and he used the star of david and you are jewish. you've converted. can you understand why that ruffled feathers for the jewish community? >> well, he clearly did not think that was the sta

so i think that it should have been taken at face value. that was clearly not the intention. my father's track record of supporting and advocating for jewish people and for israel is unimpeachable for a very long time, whether it being the grand marshal of the israel day parade to the support that he has offered my husband and myself and our family as a young jewish couple. i know the person and i know his intent and, you know, i think that was really rather ridiculous. >> what is the one thing that you want us to hear in this historic moment about your father? >> i don't know that people appreciate his tremendous empathy and his warmth but they should. our country needs a president who is able to dream big. >> and we will make america great again.

they're a natural. they are warm, they are genuine and authentic. in many ways they are kids that when you look at their dad, you're like, really, because they are inclusive. she's working very hard with district officials to rebuild the old post office in d.c. i think her job this week is to give us those stories that we won't hear, you know, the bond, i mean i bond with my dad over church and the new orleans saints. what makes this man such a great father? i think she will be incredible. >> we're not talking about the mothers here. >> i think you have to give a lot of credit to donald trump in the course of this to have such wonderfully successful kids and forget about the mom, ivana in the course of this who obviously helped raise and did in large part raise the kids and a testament to donald trump and ivana how they turned out. >> we'll see don yan from the podium tonight. we'll be right back. >> yeah. i don't want to live with the uncertainties of hep c.

or wonder whether i should seek treatment. i am ready. because today there's harvoni. a revolutionary treatment for the most common type of chronic hepatitis c. harvoni is proven to cure up to 99% of patients... ...who've had no prior treatment. it transformed treatment as the first cure that's... ...one pill, once a day for 12 weeks. certain patients... ...can be cured with just 8 weeks of harvoni. harvoni is a simple treatment regimen that's been prescribed to more than a quarter of a million patients. tell your doctor if you've had a liver transplant, other liver or kidney problems, hiv, or any other medical conditions, and about all the medicines you take including herbal supplements. taking amiodarone with harvoni may cause a serious slowing of your heart rate. common side effects of harvoni may include tiredness, headache and weakness. i am ready to put hep c behind me. i am ready to be cured. are you ready? ask your hep c specialist if harvoni is right for you.

into the bloodstream it spikes the blood sugar. then you get a drop. >> reporter: it happens sooner than it would with whole food so let's back up. when you eat fruit it's fiber that slows digestion and acts as a time release gradually distributing fwul to the body. >> you could say fiber is like a mesh netting so it slows the sugar absorption down so it's not going rushing in. >> reporter: to test this i eat the ingredients of a smoothie for breakfast. we got 4 1/2 ounces of mango. 4 1/2 ounces of pineapple. two ones of banana and three ounces of vanilla yogurt and 6 ounces of apple juice and check my blood sugar every 15 minutes for two hours. the next day i make a homemade smoothie out of the same exact stuff. and then direct it. >> mm-mm. the result of my blood tests are very different. >> oh. >> reporter: the smoothie caused my blood sugar to spike immediately, but then by the hour and 15 mark, my blood sugar had gotten a lot lower, below what it was when i woke

change, i felt hungry, i felt light-headed. when i ate the fruit i wasn't hungry for two hours. >> your body was just trying to get itself back up to normal. it was a high and then a low. >> reporter: when i ate the fruit i didn't feel hungry and my blood sugar never dropped below the starting point. maya estimates it was 300 calories but by 10:00 a.m. i was hungry and knacking. sabotaged by a smoothie accid t accidentally adding more calories to my day. now, wasn't just me that tested this out. we had our interns do this as well so these two ate the food where sophie and sofia drank the smoothies two hours ago that we had them do it so if this was all you had to make it to lunch, what do you think? could you do it? how are you feeling? >> i think i'd be good with just the fruit. i feel energized and good. fruit is so good for you so i'm glad i started my day with a nice healthy meal. >> i'm

to go. i'm a pretty small person so it was filling for me. >> you drank the smoothies. >> honestly, no shot if i had to make it. >> you were shaking your head right away. >> you know what, i love smoothie, i eat them a lot but i'm already hungry again. i don't think i could make it. >> exactly, amy and becky, if i had to wait till lunch i couldn't last. i need some type of protein like a omelet, turkey bacon, my stomach still feels empty. >> i'm the same way. becky, what is a healthy breakfast you can eat that will get you to lunch. >> think about what will stick to your bones. fiber is important. do oatmeal with a little yogurt, fruit, nuts. all that fiber in there that you're actually chewing will slow your metabolism and gently and slowly release all that energy to get you to lunch without snacking and without sabotaging your diet. >> yeah, i'm with you. i need the protein too. all right, thank you. all right, coming up next, "star trek: beyond's" chris pine

[ cheers and applause ] thank you. >> now, this is your third time playing captain kirk. >> it is, indeed, yeah. >> so for you what has changed about your character over the years? >> you know, in the first two films he was very much kind of an angry young man raging against the system that had taken his father basically that had killed his father and

father left behind. he was also account starship" captain and it was about james kirk becoming his own man finding his own way in the world. >> in this we see 50 new alien species. >> is that right? >> yes, 50 new and one of them had the audacity to sit in the captain's chair which kirk didn't like that much, did he? >> no, kirk is a, you know, the captain's chair is his home. he meets a new character that we've introduced called jala that was in "kingsmen" she was a dancer with madonna for many years. she's an incredible physical being but brings a lot of heart to this character and our group is faced with kind of inviting her into a very tight-knit family. >> one thing about this family, the "enterprise" officers, i notice they never sleep. is there a n

is, are we going to meet this night crew. >> i did an animated -- i did an animated voiceover called the "star trek" night crew, me and i think captain picard and i think our version of kirk was a beer drinking hard partying kind of kirk but, no, actually our film starts in the first five minutes you get an idea of what it's like on the crew when heavy drama is not happening and i thought that was kind of a neat way to start the film. >> in the original, captain kirk, william shatner recorded a few albums. >> he record a few albums and leonard recorded a few. >> and i know "enter the woods." you have a great voice by the way. >> thank you very much. >> any albums coming out? should we get ready for the chris pine tour. >> i do one song an this barbra streisand album that comes out. i'm one of many people that sing on it. excited about that and then, who know, man? who knows, maybe i'll do some sort of spoken word thing. >> i can do

behind you. >> you are invited. >> and as everybody can see, every time i see you're in great shape. always in great shape. >> you say that as if like i got to sit next to you, man. >> seriously. >> look at the size of these, come on, man. i heard about your workout and -- >> have you heard anything about this workout? >> i heard it described as cain kills abel. >> my trainer describes that because the workout tools are weighted club and if you can imagine back in the day the neanderthals or whatever were using to get their woolly mammoths, i suppose. so it's a very kind of simple dynamic workout i've been enjoying doing. >> and a little turn on a serious note. you shot many of your scenes with anton who passed away. i know you had something at your home and invited the crew over to honor his life and i'm just wondering was that something

help heal everybody over his unfortunate and sudden passing. >> yeah, there's nothing that can prepare you for something that happens that quickly to someone who is that young to someone who nothing like that seems like it should happen. and our group, if anything, is a group of friends and family and it was nice to have them around to process what had happened and to pay tribute to who anton was and to remember him and to smile and cry and do all -- to ride the waves of grief but our film is a wonderful example of what made him special. he's, you know, you hear the term light up the screen and that's anton, this bubbly lovely smiling just love of a man so i will miss him greatly but celebrate him nonetheless. >> you're honoring him with a great film and honoring us by coming here to talk about it. always love seeing

>> it's a fish. >> i just love the writing in this movie. is it really true that it's only here because of fear of losing a bet? >> yeah, i had a bet with my friend dawn french. she said because i'm so bad at writing on time and having deadlines and she said what are you doing next year. i said i'm writing ab fab. she said i bet you 100,000 pounds you don't. >> 100,000? i wouldn't want to lose that either. >> i wrote it. >> it's here on time. >> just about. >> given and, boy, did you deliver. what was it like writing not only for the big screen, did it change how you write these characters? yes. >> and also today moving them forward to 2016. >> well, you know, the last time we did them was in 2012 so it's not been such a massive break and we always try -- we just put them -- what's happening now, you know, what's happening in today's world and i mean they're quite old now. we're all quite old now.

>> they're fabulous. >> but i suppose the biggest difference was just, you know, a tv show is like a sketch and a film's got to have a big plot so we needed a plot and that was -- >> glad you mentioned that because the plot revolvers a little bit around kate moss. >> yes, the famous iconic model, kate moss. >> and without giving it away, it's ridiculous and funny. >> she manages to kill her. that's all i've got to say. >> in desperation. >> is it true meanwhile, you have this plot of your movie written around kate moss. you almost didn't get her for the movie. >> no, i forgot to ask her. written the whole thing, sold the movie and had sort of forgotten to ask her. i just thought she would do it and friends said she'll be fine. luckily she was okay. >> i have total confidence, darling, i feel i have to call you that that you would be just fine. >> we would have had a cardboard cutout but she said no. >> you and

what is it like to be a team? >> you know, it's the best -- when i write, i always try to write myself into a double act because it's so much nice story have a friend to do it with and bounce off and we're really good friends. i think we sort of -- we do the show and the movie now just so that we can hang out. >> are you as good friends off screen. >> we really are. >> if feels like you are. it's awesome. >> thank you. >> can we expect to see more adventures. >> let's see how well this does. go see it. >> i'm hoping you'll watch it. it is absolutely fabulous and great to meet you in person. i'm a big fan so was our whole team. we were very excited to have you on. the movie is called, of course, "absolutely famous: the movie" and opens nationwide on friday. we will be right back. thanks again. jennifer. life's sharing a meal. and a kitchen with room for everyone.
