our white house correspondent john carl on the scene in dallas. hn, we have seen the president at many of these memorial services. every time you feel his deep frustration. >> reporter: you see the sadness, the compassion for the strims and their families, but a deep and growing frustration as president he has had to come to talk to communities torn apart by mass shootings over and over and over again. as was the case in newton, connecticut, nearly fourg four years ago, in charleston south carolina last year, and in orlando just three weeks ago the president's -- the original draft of remarks that was put together by his speech writers was largely thrown aside. we are told the president struggled crafting these remarks consulting scripture late into the night. i'm sure we made changes on board air force one today. he has two audiences. that stadium is filled with dallas police officers. they are in there. there are so many police officers in there the local security is not being provided by the dallas p.d. but by the neighboring article ton p.d. so

john? >> carle expecting the president to announce a slowdown in the pace of withdrawals he had previously discussed. remember, the war in afghanistan is our longest war, claimed 2365 american lives. president obama had planned to remove almost all troops by the end of his presidency. the last plan that he had issued called for about 5500. the associated press is now reporting that he's going to announce that 8400 troops would remain. it, of course, has been a year of violence in afghanistan. just a few days ago 33 people killed in an attack on a convoy of bus containing police cadets. a military review going on of our troop levels and it is expected he's going to conclude that review with the announcement that more troops will stay behind. of course the president has been criticized for not leaving troops behind in iraq and leading to the rise of isis and the islamic state throughout the region. that is one thing weighing on the president's mind. and, of course, you can't help but note how remarka

hey, john. >> carl, as you can hear behind me expect music tonight. there's concern among republicans now that they are beginning their convention because their candidate is behind. look at the numbers from the nbc/"wall street journal" poll, hillary clinton with 46%, donald trump with 41%. he has to figure out how to reverse that gap. the convention kicks off at 1:00s this afternoon. the attempt to do that. the theme tonight donald trump is running on make america great again. the theme for tonight, is make america safe again. donald trump's hoping to capitalize on his reputation for strength at a time of unrest at home and turbulence abroad including the attempted coup in turkey to make the argument that he can better protect the country that hillary clinton can. his speakers tonight will include people like rudy giuliani former mayor of new york city, rick perry, governor of texas, tom knts from arkansas but also milelania trump the candidate's wife, celebrities like willy robertson of "duck dynasty." donald trump has said we may see him tonight as

john. >> good morning, carl. you know, the democrats last night rolled out more major players to swing hard at donald trump and try to lift up hillary clinton. it started with vice president joe biden and the man who wants to succeed him as vice president tim kaine. they tried to peel away working-class voters from trump from a candidate they called dishonest and mean spirited. >> no matter where you were raised, how can there be pleasure in saying, you're fired. he's trying to tell us he cares about the middle class. give me a break. that's a bunch of malarkey. >> folks, you cannot believe one word that comes out of donald trump's mouth. not one word. >> reporter: then there was former new york city mayor mike bloomberg who spoke to independent-minded, college educated voters. he mocked donald trump's business record an even questioned his mental stability. >> as an independent, i am asking you to join with me, not out of party loyalty, but out of love of country, and together, and together let's select a sane,

john. >> good morning, carl. you may have forgotten how tense that primary was between hillary clinton and bernie sanders. it's been a few months just as a rerefresher, let's play a bit. >> i think it's to end the smear, and let's talk about the issues. let's talk about the issues that divide us and -- >> oh, let us talk about issues. >> we goth agree with campaign he reform. >> let's talk about issues. >> let's talk about issues. he's been lobbying to try to come in his direction. here are some of the fruits of that conversation. now they call for a $15 minimum wage. that was what he campaigned for in the primaries second, calling for a public option, but it fell by the wayside when the bill was passing. finally the democratic platform has called and hillary clinton has called for free public universities for families -- children of families under $125,000 a year. all of those are things that bernie sanders says makes this the most progressive democratic platform ever. that's why bernie sanders is going to be st

john? >> reporter: carl, democrats came into the convention with the problem of decent.we saw them very angry over the leaked e-mails showing the dnw favored hillary clinton. they forced the resignation of debbie wasserman schultz, the party chair. they took the gavel out of her happened. they even booed bernie sanders when he called for unity, but the democratic party threw everything they had at this problem trying to bring the party together last night. first of all, they tried a famous hollywood comedian, sara silv silverman took the stage. he was a bernie sanders, and appeared with al frank in, the saturday light comedian. she told them to stop it. >> can i just say to the bernie or bust people, you're being ridiculous. [ cheers and applause ] >> reporter: then they had the populous hero elizabeth warren out ripping donald trump and bernie sanders himself as the cleanup speaker for the convention's first night, made a passionate appeal for unity in the service of a greater good. >> trump thinks he can win votes by fanning the flames of fear and hatred, by turning ne

john harwood? >> first of all, carl, at the largest, 30,000-foot level, hillary clinton and democrats will be celebrating the conclusion that no criminal charges are recommended. however, i think james comey's presentation was pretty damning toward hillary clinton. what he described was a culture in the state department that was lax with respect to handling classified information, extremely careless. those are pretty strong indictments for somebody who is as experienced in government as hillary clinton, and who wants to be commander in chief. so she is not going to, we assume that the justice department will go along with comey's recommendation that no criminal charges would be fined. no reasonable prosecutor would pursue such case. however, that was strong criticism that james comey leveled against hillary clinton, against extremely careless within her state department in the handling of classified information. that is not a strong recommendation to american voters about somebody who wants to be commander in chief. >> eamon javers, also in washington, let's talk about the frequency with which justice fo

john. >> good morning, carl.now, two missions for this convention last night, the first was to make history by nominating the first woman on this floor in a roll call vote. the second was to show americans that that history was being made by real flesh and blood woman, not the two dimensional public figure many americans don't trust. that was bill clinton's job. he painted an intimate portrait of his wife as girlfriend, wife, mother, and tried to align her with the public's demand for change. >> if you believe in making change from the bottom up, if you believe that the measure of change is how many people's lives are better, you know it's hard and some people think it's boring, speeches like this are fun. actually doing the work is hard. some people say well, we need change. she's been around a long time. she sure has. and she's sure been worth every single year she's put into making people's lives better. >> and then the delegates on this floor saw a visual demonstration of the shattering of the glass ceiling s

i'm carl quintanilla along with kelly evans and john harwood. tonight is the culmination of a political convention that has been anything but conventional. the night is all about donald trump as he will officially accept the republican nomination for president. >> and tonight it's simply the trump hour. here's how it's going to play out. in just a few hours, donald trump's daughter ivanka will address the convention. she'll give a speech introducing her father. then, it's mr. trump's turn and he'll deliver what many are calling the most important speech of his career. his primary task is to convince the american people that he should be their 45th president. >> everything has been leading up to this moment, the moment when donald gets to speak to the nation. but this man is unpredictable, known for going off script and shooting from the hip traits that make him seem at times unpresidential. that could be risky for him. john, can he polish up his act? does he have to? some have argued that's part of his appeal. >> here's what he has to do. whethe

john from cleveland. >> reporter: good morning, carl t. started out well enough, the melania trump speech.he showman donald trump, walked in, with a haze of smoke, and introduced her. the problem came from passages in the speech that were lifted from michelle obama's 2008 convention speech. take a listen -- okay. i'm told we do not have the sound comparing melania trump with michelle obama but that generated some controversy, complaints this shows the thing staffing of the trump campaign. paul ma paul mantafort gave a press briefing, and says it's no big deal, being kpad rated by the media. it was make america safe again, law and order, protect the nation, national security. capped by rudy giuliani, the former new york city mayor. take a listen to giuliani. >> the vast majority of americans today do not feel safe. they fear for their children. they fear for themselves. who would trust hillary clinton to protect them? i wouldn't. would you? >> now, tonight, they're shifting focus to discussion of the economy, the theme is make america work again. we'll hear from house speaker paul ryan, and

carl. you brought that up. he speaks from a position that is pretty unique. >> indeed, michelle. johnm curious, you know, at the beginning of bloomberg's speech, it looked like he might get a bit of an uneasy reception. he said, i'm not here as a democrat or a republican. obviously he's associated with wall street. how would you judge how the crowd obviously a very blue crowd welcomed him? >> i think the crowd was delighted to have him ripping donald trump from the perspective of an independent appealing for independent votes, making the case that, you know, i didn't start a business with a million dollars from my dad. i started it the old-fashioned way. that is a way of impeaching donald trump's credentials as a businessman that have been so attractive to so many voters. >> john, let me go back to what we just heard from the vp tim kaine, though. as you mentioned, he really did kind of reach out to republicans, and that may be well and good as we head into the general. but did it get the job done in unifying the democratic party? there were many themes that almost sounded more classi

john harwood is here with me, as well as carl kquintanilla.. >> he's got to reassure americans, he is capable of serves as commander in chief. the problem is the message of the convention has been all about what's wrong with hillary, but it hasn't been about what's right with trump? >>> but how? >> what a week it's been on policy, right? talking about whether or not the tack plan needs to be revised. i'm not sure if the a interest of time, john or kelly or michelle, what you spend on policy when there's so much to be done. >> it's not a state of the union laundry list, but directionally, you have to help people sundays how they'll make their lives better. glee there's a large part that still hasn't come his way. >> the proxy is when he's on the prompters he, and when he starts arrives, he's playing to his crowd. what i find interesting, too is not only within his own party, but from the democrats, a narrative running beneend the surface is how many -- i don't know if we call them reagan democrats? i don't know what the term is, but how many pe

when he raised the question of high noon, it's amusing that carl foreman was attacked and blacklisted the author of the screen play, and john wayne refused take the role in the movie because he realized that high noon was an attack on the mccar mccarthy period and made rio brafy bravo as an attack later. i have a different remembrance of that early period of reagan. i remember reagan '81, '82, '83, people were felt we were moving to an unstricken capability, and members of the administration talked about we could openly win a nuclear war, regardless what you say about his personal feelings and this was something that really scared people and led to the largest demonstration against nuclear weapons in american history in the city at that period of time. i was wondering in a general sense, how do you look at popular cultural in general, in terms of shaping public opinion? looking back at our culture? you know, is norman mailer writing naked in the dead after world war ii where he wants to be the novelist of the war? naked of the dead is a different image of war than clancy, and i'm wondering how you see that shaping, these ki

when you raise the question of "high noon, it's musing that carl foreman was attacked and blacklisted, the author of the screenplay, and john wayne refused to take the role in the movie because he realized that "high noon" was an attack on the mccarthy period. he made "rio bravo" as an attack on "high noon" later. it's sort of interesting how reagan confuses this kind of hollywood with politics. i have a different remembrance of that early period of reagan. i remember reagan '81, '82, '83, people were feeling that we were moving to an unrestricted first strike capability, that there were representatives of the reagan administration who openly talked about the fact that we could win a nuclear war, regardless of what you would say about his personal feelings and that this was something that really scared people and led to the largest demonstration against nuclear weapons in american history in this city at that period of time. so i was wondering, you know, in a general sense, how do you look at popular culture in general? you know, in terms of shaping public opinion. looking back at our culture. you know, is norman mailer wri

carl. >>> as promised, let's get back to the developing story out of turkey today. john the ground in istanbul where he has the very latest on the failed military coup overnight. john, what can you tell us today? >> reporter: well, elizabeth, the turkish president has vowed to arrest any and all of those who were involved in the failed coup attempt last night, vowing not only for revenge but also that those will pay a heavy price for their treason, the supporters of the failed coup attempt. it erupted late last night. so far more than -- close to 3,000 people anyway have been arrested in connection with the chaos that erupted here in istanbul and ankara as well with tanks rolling through the streets, armored personnel carriers, helicopter fire and attacks on and explosions at the country's parliament building and presidential palace. the airports, the two major airports, one on the asian side of turkey, of is tan bull, both were shut down. also the major bridges were shut down, reopened earlier this afternoon. last night it was quite a contrast. there were tanks and apcs

carl, thanks so much. >>> let's take a closer look at indiana governor mike pence and what he could bring to a trump ticket. senior national correspondent john roberts. >> mike pence has the sort of political pedigree that donald trump could surely use. four years as governor of indiana, 12 as a congressman. he knows his way around government. he gives trump plenty of cover on the right. >> good communicator. believes in the fundamental principles that the republican party are about and the principles that made our country special. >> reporter: as governor, he signed the religious freedom law that made changes amid a criticism. he signed new abortion restrictions. in congress, he voted against bailouts for wall street and the auto industry and supported tax cuts in the balanced budget amendment. he voted for the iraq war but against setting a date for withdrawal. he opposes same-sex marriage and civil unions and in 2014 pulled indiana out of common core. >> i got folks back home who tell me i'm a conservative and i can't vote for trump x, y, z. i try to convince them it's still better than clinton. mike pence might get him across the finish

john. >> good morning. >> we have joe trib by. >> good morning. >> and we have carl row.heard in that sound bite ntage, carl, a year ago, what was the conventional wisdom, the odds of donald trump doing what he's done? zero. >> zero. >> joe in. >> i thought he would be in the finals getting here towards the end. i didn't think he would necessary bli the nominee. >> in other words, you're smarter than -- >> he did say that. >> and john? >> i don't want to be the one who is the contradictory person, the contrarian, but after what i saw happen in the mississippi senate race in 2014, i thought something is a foot here and i didn't believe all the nay sayers who said he will be out of this thing long before january. i'm sorry, gentlemen, i thought there was something here. >> trump was talking about in the campaign over the last couple months, it's not just a campaign, it seems to be a movement. >> there's a lot of disaffected people who will all due respect to karl rove and many of his colleagues don't want to go the way that the establishment is telling them to go. they were

harwood has the takeaways in philadelphia nad, as john, these gdp numbers may be fodder for trump ats campaign in the weeks to come. >> they certainly will, carl. hillary clinton did not have an easy job last night following speakers like the obamas, vice president biden, and her own husband, as she said in her speech, she's always been better at the service part than the public part. hillary clinton methodically purs pursued. she explained her motivations to public service. linked them to broader american values. reached out to voters beyond her own party. >> well, i will be a president for democrats, republicans, independents, for the struggling, the striving, the successful, for all those who vote for me and for those who don't. for all americans together! >> on national security, the former secretary cough state continued to week-long theme of portraying donald trump as temperamentally unfit to be commander in chief. >> imagine if you dare, imagine, imagine him in the oval office facing a real crisis. a man you can bait with a tweet is not a man we can trust with nuclear weapons. >> now she got a powerful assist from this father of a falle

a call from carl bernstein, donna, for the attorney general to recuse herself, and let me point out, in the past where there have been politically charged investigations. first of all, johnimself from the investigation about who leaked valerie plame, the former covert officer and both senators obama and clinton called for gonzalez to recuse himself during the investigation into jack abramoff. should loretta lynch recuse herself? >> no, and i think all of this great, sensational coverage today is because we have nothing else to talk about. donald trump has not insulted anyone in the last few hours and this is a big story. look, basically, bill clinton is at the same airport, the same time with the attorney general. anyone who knows bill clinton knows that if he walks into a room or walks on the tarmac and sees someone he's going to say hello. that's the nature of this southern gentlemen. >> this was a 30-minute conversation. >> you know what? have you talked to bill clinton lately about his grandchildren? it is a 30-minute conversation. he's in love with them. god knows they're beautiful. i don't see anything nefarious happening. by the way, they had mrs. lynch had her fb

john, how much is this to disgruntled delegates and does it truly put away any movement from the never trumpers that people were talking about making an appearance next week? >> it's a significant one to them carl. this is going to be a popular choice with republican delegates. most of these are regular republicans. they're conservatives and people that have been part of this party in it's conservative identification over the last couple of decades. that's what mike pence comes out of. donald trump does not come out of that tradition so there's misgivings about him. not enough clearly as we saw yesterday for them to oust donald trump and overturn the results of the republican primaries. the never trump movement was crushed last night but this is going to be something that makes a lot of republicans feel better about donald trump. the ticket is still going to be defined by donald trump when you have a personality that large. not to mention simply the buy at the top of the ticket. this election is going to be about donald trump but mike pence is going to be something that is reassuring to some segment of republicans who might otherwise have been troubled. >> john, thank you for that. john harang

john kennedy was running against richard nixon, 1960. an awful lot of battling ahead in the next three and a half months plus. megyn. >> oh, boy. i'm tired already. i can't imagine how they feel. carl, great to see you. so as we just mentioned, the two camps are now in a dead heat. dead. and a new report suggests that democrats are concerned that mrs. clinton has not been able to pull away in the polls. chris stirewalt is here. he's our digital politics ed tore. howie cyst is host of media buzz. and austan goolsbee previously served as president obama's chief economist. great to see you all. so why is that, stirewalt? you can understand why the democrats are feeling anxiety because they genuinely think that she should be killing him, and she's not killing him. >> well, i bet if they had nominated joe biden, that he'd be doing a lot better. hillary clinton is a weak candidate relatively speaking. she's probably the weakest democratic nominee since michael dukakis, but trump is not by any measure the strongest republican nominee in recent memory. so we have really as carl just pointed out this protracted, very ugly battle between two nominees who are not exactly the heartstrung favor

john. >> be sure to watch cnbc's special coverage of the democratic convention tonight. beginning at 10:00 p.m. eastern time. kelly and carl, whole gang will be there. you don't want to miss it. >> stay up with us. >> evercore is out and they beat wall street estimates with both revenue and earnings. that stock down a fraction at $50.42. >> and jones by evercore ceo, ralph. >> good to see pup. >> what the environment like? how is confidence? >> deal environment is very good. confidence is not bouyant. with strong finance rates andvilleable credit and visibility about the direction of the economy are all in place. we look for a pretty good environment for the rest of the year. >> what about the political environment for deal making where you have the government going after two health insurance, four health insurance giants that wanted to get together? >> that's tough environment to deal in. i think we always see when deals get too close to the line in terms of concentration. a little pick-up in activity. antitrust lawyers i speak with would say, if you look at this over any period of time, there's been no real pick-up in an

john paul who primarily through opinions and they did not go on press stores and speaking tours. she has earned the , fromr, notorious rbg her followers. next, from virginia on the republican line. good morning, carlcaller: you know, i want to start out by saying i have lost all faith in the justice system in washington, d.c. you guys live by different set of rules that you expect the rest of us to live by, and i would like to say something about congress oversight. it is a joke. it is a joke. congress somehow has some authority to indict and convict wrongdoers in the federal government, there will be no justice because whoever is president has the attorney general run an appearance for him. host: any reaction? guest: i think this is a common complaint and it should not be dismissed. we do have this growing gulf between washington, d.c., and the rest of the country. i'm not too sure the major parties have even register that. i think part of it is this feeling that everything is wired, that this is one big kabuki dance in washington. i'm not sure that view is entirely inaccurate. i think there are serious problems in the way the city runs. i think the anger that you see, which is driving much of th
