order. the attacks on our police and the terrorism of our cities threaten our very way of life. any politician who does not grasp this danger is not fit to lead our country. i have a message to every last person threatening the peace on our streets and the safety of our police. when i take the oath of office next year i will restore law & order to our country. >> capping an unusually c controversy filled convention. >> after four years of hillary clinton, what do we have?

isis has spread across the region and the entire world. libya is in ruins, and our ambassador and his staff were left helpless to die at the hands of savage killers. egypt was turned over to the radical muslim brotherhood forcing the military to retake control. iraq is in chaos. iran is on the path to nuclear weapons. syria is engulfed in a civil war and a refugee crisis now threatens the west. this is the legacy of hillary clinton. death, destruction, terrorism, and weakness. >> and he laid the recent state of violence at president obama's feet, bringing back his ban on immigration. >> we must immediately

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. >> ultimately trump says it is he and he alone that has the power to fix the country's problems. >> on the economy, i will outline reforms to add millions of new jobs and trillions in new wealth. nobody knows the system better than me. which is why i alone can fix it. i have made billions of dollars in business making deals. now i'm going to make our country rich again. i will restore law & order to our country.

i am your voice. >> but a familiar scene took place on the convention floor during trump's prime time address as a code pink protester interrupted his speech. it was trump's embrace of the gay community that was one of the most talked about moments of the night. >> this time the terrorist target lgbtq community. no good. and we're going to stop it. as your president i will do everything in my power to protect our lgbtq citizens from the violence and oppression of a hateful foreign ideology. believe me. >> i have to say as a republican, it is so nice to hear you cheering for what i just said. thank you.

always good to see you, especially, you know, post events like this one. we're talking about donald trump speaking for 76 minutes, one of the longest nomination acceptance speeches in history. so did donald trump do enough? did he say enough last night to move the needle forward and gain traction for november? >> well, it depends on how bleak americans are feeling about their country. as you mentioned in the setup, it really was a speech of death and destruction, weakness and terrorism, a dark, dark view of our country. and the question going forward really will be whether that's where americans are. if we look at our nation today and see pessimism and destruction and nearly hopele hopelessness really i think he has his finger on a very strong feeling. if that overstates that americans are more optimistics and would like a more activist government then i would say

that base very much. >> that anger and finger pointing is exactly reflective of the anger of the country, some say. especially when it comes to his opponent, hillary clinton, and we saw those attacks going after her trustworthiness. let's take a quick listen. >> when that same secretary of state rakes in millions and millions of dollars trading access and favors to special interests and foreign powers, i know the time for action has come. >> he keeps laying off the personal attacks and sticks to that, will he be able to make inroads with voters who already see her unfavorably? >> it was the one topic that united the republican party so i think it worked well in the hall. whether it's likely to broaden his support inside this general election, that's much tougher. they've got 13 votes in the

designed to rev those folks up, but does it get those swing voters that he needs to win a general election? the next few months will help us decide that. >> thank you, as always. >> good to see you. it is a so-called deadly heat dome that's blanketing much of the country. 119 million americans feeling this sweltering effects. the triple digit heat index has some air conditioner repair services seeing three times their workload. and in new york city, residents are flocking to water trying to beat the heat and humidity. bill kairns brings us the details and no relief just yet. >> probably not till monday or tuesday for a lot of people. one of the hottest maps you're going to find. phoenix all the way to philadelphia, the heat dome is centered in the middle of the country and
