biggest speech of his life. >> announcer: from nbc news, this is a special edition of "today" at the republican national convention with matt lauer and savannah guthrie, live from cleveland. good morning, everyone. welcome back to cleveland and welcome to a wednesday morning and welcome to half-time of the republican national convention. >> should i get two hot dogs and a beer like usual. >> yeah. >> they have now selected trump and pence as their nominees for president and vice president. >> and the evening theme was make america work again and it was heavy on attacks against hillary clinton. we have it covered starting with national correspondent, peter alexander. >> reporter w

the history books. the republican party now officially embracing the first-time politician, the billionaire, donald trump, as its presidential nominee. and the big night for mike pence of indiana. >> and it's my honor to be able to throw donald trump over the top. >> after a primary campaign like no other, a moment of triumph for donald trump delivered by his oldest son. >> congratulations, dad. we love you! >> the unofficial anthem. >> reporter: just like that, the word presumptive can be dropped, and donald trump is the republican party's nominee for president. >> trump by satellite acknowledging the historic

forget. >> daughter tiffany and donald junior. testimonials. >> my father is so friendly, so considerate, so funny, and so real. >> you want to know what kind of president he'll be? let me tell you how he ran his businesses, and i know, because i was there with him by his side on job sites, in conference rooms, from the time i could walk. >> still the night was heavy on har harsh rhetoric. >> the charge of putting herself ahead of america, guilty or not guilty? >> guilty! >> delegates repeatedly calling for clinton to be put in jail. if you think chris christie can lecture anybody onnette kwreubgz, we have a bridge to sell you. but the hits kept coming. >> hillary clinton will say anything, do anything, and be anything to get

president. >> dr. ben carson going one step further, calling alinsky. >> he wrote a book called "rules for radical" and on the dedication page it acknowledges lucifer. >> as we willing to elect somebody president who has as their role model somebody who acknowledges lucifer. while barely mentioning trump's name. >> only with donald trum only with donald trump and mike pence do we have a better chance for better way. >> reporter: tonight, make america first again, and donald trump back in the room to hear from his running mate, mike pence, and more

trump and newt gingrich. >> peter alexander, thank you very much. there has been a side story going on the last few days about whether parts of melania's speech was plagiarized. they were quickly explained, and hallie jackson has more on that. good morning. >> reporter: with the stage now set for night three of the gop convention, new details are emerging about the speech from melan melania. donald trump jr. said a few lines last night, and the initial reaction, not again. turns out it was not quite plagiari plagiarism.

>> our school used to be an elevator. >> turns out buckley tells nbc news i was a principal speechwriter for the speech so it's not an issue. this morning it's not clear who is behind melania trump's convention speech. sources close to the trump campaign tell nbc news scully was hired to draft the remarks. a senior trump aide telling nbc news that was mostly rejected. >> the value that you work hard for what you want in life. that your word is your bond, that you do what you say you are going to do. >> donald trump jr. defending his stepmother. >> she

writers to get something happening and that's what it is. >> and the top aide and surrogate first argued, it was common cliches. >> those are not extraordinary words. >> a simple google search -- >> the popular plagiarism site found 6% of trump's speech matched the first lady's six years ago. >> this morning it's still not clear who is responsible for adding those passages to melania trump's speech, and some reports indicate it may have had something to do with a former ballet dancer. a lot of eyes will be on eric trump that will take the stage

he says his goal tonight, to explain the why, why people should vote for his father. let us bring in nicole wallace and halperin. what is the headline this morning? >> i think the headline this morning is donald trump jr. and chris christie begin to calm the jittery nerves of the gop. >> changes psychology a little bit, and he is moving a little bit of a normal situation where it's the red team against the blue team. >> let's talk about the speeches last night. donald trump jr. had a difficult job, and in a way he took on more than he needed to but it seemed like he delivered. not only was he a character witness for his father, which most children of a candidate will do, and he made a policy argument and took on hillary clinton. do you think it

>> i do. and they have been thrust into controversy, not willingly, and donald trump jr. did what every kid was able to do. good will is themselves. all the ickiness attaching inside to a candidate does not attach to a kid. he took a risk, but pulled it off. a talented messenger. >> and one of the speeches, governor chris christie, sometimes prosecuting, literally and figuratively, hillary clinton, and it brought out a lot of the anger that we've been talking about over the course of this campaign that is in the electorate. we heard it in their chants of "lock her up" and "guilty," does that anger work at an event like this? >> a lot of republicans, even trump supporters didn't like the chant, thought they maybe went a little too far. the reality is, donald trump probably could not beat any ot

hillary clinton. if they are going to win this, it's going to be them saying, you can't be for hillary clinton. politics relies on emotion. >> the speeches have been a lot about hillary clinton, as much if not more about a takedown of hillary clinton than a positive case for donald trump. hillary clinton has high negatives, so is this effective in terms of flushing out for peop people, this is why you don't feel good about her or does it overestimate how much people don't care for hillary clinton? >> i think we underestimate the power of negative messaging, and you have to raise your positives. in this campaign, in this climate with these candidates, it's never going to happen. this is going to be an incredibly negative campaign and

on their negatives and so neither campaign is going to spend time popping up their positives. i think that the chanting was bad but it will be cancelled out next week for some equally awkward moment at the democratic convention. >> if you are an undecided voter at home, are you feeling better about trump as a possible president or worse? >> just on donald trump jr.'s speech alone, better. tonight we hear from eric, and newt gingrich and mike pence. we will hear more from here at the rnc just ahead. you can catch complete coverage all day on msnbc and then

here on nbc. new developments this morning surrounding the zika virus outbreak. and there's an investigation of a new case that did not stem from travel to another region of the world. if it is confirmed it would be the first evidence that zika has spread to mosquitos here in the continental u.s. it can cause rare birth defects and other neurological conditions. and then most lanes to the tappan zee bridge re-opened this morning after a crane collapsed across the entire width of the bridge on tuesday. this create add traffic nightmare. the bridge was shut down in both directions for about five hours and transportation officials say six of the seven lanes re-opened and no cars were hit when that crane

comes to college versus retirement. i can say until i'm blue in the face that retirement comes first, and i know there are millions of people out there not listening to me. >> yes. >> so if you're going to put college before retirement, open a roth i.r.a., because you can fund that account first, and then down the road you can decide what to do with the money. if the problem is that you're still bailing out your adult kids, and they are 20, 25, 30 years old, you want to sit down and you want to have a discussion where you make a plan for how to get them off the payroll and explain to them, if you can't take care of you now, then down the road, they're going to have to take care of you. >> go back. i skipped a good one. we don't take enough risks. we go safe. >> we go safe. more women leave their investment stash in cash. that's a problem. if you've got too much money in cash you are going to be earning nothing. in fact, you'll be losing money after taxes and -- >> put it in the stock market? >> you should. put it in the stock market. if you're m
