in cleveland, ohio. >> tonight, the republicans have nominated donald john trump, the 70-year-old businessman and tv personality as their candidate for president of the united states. it was the victory of a national insurgency that wrested control of the party from its leaders and a remarkable rise for a political novice from declaration to nomination took 57 weeks into it was quite a moment to see the delegation from trump's home state of new york led by his older son that gave him the victory. >> congratulations, dad. we love you! >> a short time later, donald trump addressed the convention on a video hookup. >> good evening. are you having fun? melania and i had such a great time last night. an unbelievable evening.

3:05 am
thank you. i'm the father of five young children from 2-year-old chloe to kye who just turned 9. i'm the husband to vanessa, an amazing wife and mother. and the son of a great man. i'm an american. and tonight, i want to talk to you about the country we live in. the country our children will grow up in. for my generation, this is the most important election of our lifetime. one that will determine the future of our country and in turn, the future of the world. for too long, our country has ignored its problems, punting them down the road for future generations to deal with. in business, i was trained by my father to make the tough investments and decisions today to assure a brighter future tomorrow. we've actually started to believe that solving our great problems is an impossible task.
3:06 am
and that's why we need to elect a man who has a track record of accomplishing the impossible. a president who will unleash the greatness in our nation and in all after us, who will give the hard-working men and women who built this great country a voice once again. that president can only be my mentor, my best friend, my father, donald trump. and when we elect him, we'll have done all that. we'll have made america great again. greater than ever before. thank you, and god bless. >> and that was 38-year-old donald j. trump junior.

the speech on day two of this convention and i think many of the delegates have been waiting for, a personal speech talking about his father, the businessman, but also one with some red meat, john dickerson there on the podium. >> john? >> reporter: that's right, norah. the red meat standard attacks on hillary clinton. but as you pointed out, he did something we haven't yet seen. he witnessed to his father's skills. he didn't just assert his father was a great guy but explained how his father ran his business relying on the common sense of the people at the building site, not the mbas in the corner office and then testified to it further saying he had those people at the site raise us instead of pampering us in the corporate offices. why does that matter? because donald trump is making his pitch for common sense and not all of this fancy learning. that's the core of his campaign and why he says he can be successful in business and translate that to the complicated business of governing because he has that common sense. >> the "cbs overnight news" will be right back.

>> corey lewandowski, the previous campaign manager suggested that what happened with melania's speech suggests that it's amateur hour with the new campaign manager paul man for the. >> there's a reason paul is in the position he's in today and cory is not. it has nothing to do with amateur hour. you want to be on tv, you want to do these things, i think at this point, that's not a service to the campaign. i think it's nonsense. i've heard other people ask, is the family on the outs with paul, total nonsense. >> donald j. trump with norah o'donnell. well, if those lines were borrowed or stolen, it certainly wouldn't be thefirst time. at the 1916 gop convention, future president warren g. harding said, "we must have a citizenship less concerned about what the government can do for it and more anxious about what it can do to exhalt the nation." sound familiar?

we could go back and forth on this. i go where the evidence leads. there is no evidence. >> he said careless. >> well, i would hope that you like many others would also look at what he said when he testified before congress because when he did, he clarified much of what he had said in his press conference. and i appreciated that. >> but he said it was sloppy. >> no, he did not. >> he said real sloppiness. >> he said -- >> correct me if i'm wrong, someone said what's the definition of careless and he said real sloppiness. . >> well, let me say this. there were three probably at least 300 people on those e-mails. >> right. >> the vast majority of whom are experienced professionals in handling sensitive material. and i have no reason to have second-guessed their decision to send or forward me information. do i wish i hadn't done it?
3:49 am
>> well, it was wrong because look at what it has generated. >> but was it careless? >> well, i think you would have to say 300 people who communicated with me on e-mail are among the most careful people i've ever had the privilege of working with. >> do you think it contributed and became a controversy because it fed the trust issues? >> well, i'm sure it didn't help. yes, i am sure it didn't help. i'll tell you this. i am the last person you will ever have to worry about ever not being 100% as specific and precise as i can be. so thabot nody ever raises any questions like that ever again. >> do you believe donald trump is dangerous? do you believe donald trump is not fit to be president? >> i think he has shown that he is dangerous, that he poses -- >> in what way?
3:50 am
>> well, in several ways. when someone running for president says in the most offhand way he doesn't really care whether other countries get nuclear weapons, including saudi arabia. >> japan. >> japan. but let's focus on saudi arabia. we have done everything we can democratic and republican administrations going back decades, to try to prevent the proliferation of nuclear weapons. that casual indifference to the worst weapons that we have ever created in the world is dangerous. it's either a lack of knowledge about what he's saying means or it's an indifference to the power that he is seeking. and i saw in a long article that donald trump, being near the nuclear code would pose a danger to civilization. that's not me. >> you do agree with that
3:51 am
look, i don't say that lightly and i don't say it with any satisfaction. >> donald trump with his finger on the nuclear button would be a threat to civilization. >> he has shown no self-discipline, no self-control no sense of history, no understanding of the limits of the kind of power that any president should impose upon himself. he has known none of that. let's return to torture. you know what? i will order the american military to commit war crimes. let's pull out of nato. we don't need them. what he has laid out is the most dangerous, reckless approach to being president that i think we've ever seen. and i say that -- >> the most dangerous man ever to run for president of the united states. >> i believe that. >> to talk about your husband's private life, not his public life, is unfair? >> they can talk about whatever
3:52 am
they want to talk about, but we're not responding. you know, republicans have tried this now for a very long time, and i'm happy to have them keep trying it. it hasn't worked out so well for them. >> you need a vice presidential running mate. >> i do. are you interested? imean, you know there's still time, charlie. you know? you have a lot of the attributes. you're well-known. you've got a good profile. you speak well. what do you think? that's really -- >> are you asking me? >> i'm here to see if you want to be vetted. >> that's what i would fear being vetted. >> that's all right. >> let me talk about -- you have met with them in the last week or so. >> i've met with a bunch of folks. >> how close are you to a choice? >> i have the blessing of having some excellent choices. people who -- here's my criterion. would this person be a good president. >> someone like walter mondale, al gore, joe biden. >> excellent choices. excellent people. >> what else is it other than th

potential. kaine. you've been with him in virginia. he says he's too boring. >> and i love that about him. he's never lost an election. he was a -- >> governor. >> -- world class mayor, governor and senator. >> the governor of colorado. >> first class. >> both of these have been vetted. >> i'm not confirming but have a great and high regard for these two people. >> if none of these are on the list, you'll certainly tell me. elizabeth warren. >> amazing. what she has done in a relatively few years to put the agenda of inequality front and center is something that i think we should all be grateful for. >> questioning financial institutions in america. >> but raising the hard issues. you know we're going to have to address. >> so you're comfortable with her. you campaigned with her.
3:54 am
you're comfortable with her. she might be a risk choice? >> i'm not categorizing any of these folks. i mean, you're naming people that i have a high regard for. >> people you allegedly vetted. >> well, that i've allegedly vetted, yes. >> you vetted them. someone said to me who knows you well, she's looking for someone who she thinks is sort of a projection of her who is a bit wonkish like she is. >> no, no, i do have a fondness for wonks. i will admit to that, but i'm looking for someone who can be a world class president of the united states and who can help me govern. i think they go hand in hand. every one of these people and others whom you haven't mentioned. >> who haven't i mentioned? >> i'm not going to tell you. there are a lot of good folks out there and they bring so many talents and strengths to this choice which is why as i say, i am blessed with a broad group of people to choose from. >> the democratic national convention gets under way monday in philadelphia. ne
