>> you saw those attending in the rose garden for the first lady speech, the recently ren oh, vated roseden and the question that people had, you did did not see any masks on those in the rose garden, was whether or not they were tested for coronavirus whether going out there, given that the president was sitting out there and the first lady was out there. the campaign is not answering that question and instead, saying they just met with a, with a coronavirus contractor and they followed the protocols that were suggested by that individual. wolf, if they had tested everyone in the rose garden, they would have said it and either way they are not saying right now. right now. what was obvious it's not going away. covid-19. more than ever, california needs rapid coronavirus testing. robust contact tracing. support for community health clinics. masks and ppe for those saving lives... for teachers and school personnel educating students. these heroes are doing their jobs. now government must do theirs. keep working through a special session to combat this crisis right now and provide the reven

first lady, expected to be one of her longest speeches she'll deliver from the newly renovated rose garden. president trump was spotted there a couple minutes ago taking a look at the set up. you see about 100 chairs in a socially distant fashion. this is going to be a positive and uplifting campaign. the first lady be talk about her be best campaign and tangible ways to expand that over the next four years if her husband is ree ekt willed. she'll talk about the pride she has in her husband and his accomplishments. melania trump's task is to humanize president trump. she wants to make him relate able to suburban voters. there's pressure on melania trump. she doesn't often step into the spotlight in this way. one of the last times she did at the 2016 national convention, there was a fire storm over remarks she made that were from a michelle obama speech. i'm told every word tonight is authentic. >> we've seen the power of incumbency tonight. the president pardoned someone, part of the convention event earlier. we'll hear from mike pompeo from gentlem jerusalem as he conducts work around the

the column, rose garden, the people in crowd.he dealt with racial unrest and saying, we aren't proud of some parts of our history, adding that we need to stop the violence and looting being done in the name of justice. and like any script or weaving story together, you can see the naturalization ceremony at the white house with now american citizens from bolivia, lebanon, india, s sudan, and ghana, tie into her life story in studying for the test in 2006, becoming an american citizen which she called one of the proudest moments of her life, first lady elania trump advocating for her president and her husband, saying it's time for him to be elected again. >> martha: shall we bring out some final thoughts here? let's start with karl rove. karl, what did you think? >> of the previous nights, the previous night ended with a very strong passionate speech by tim scott. tonight we had a t believe personal speech by the first lady. they loaded so many things in there that i would've slammed it down if i were around that process. she hit

the rose garden was in need of this renewal. the trees needed to be replanted in other places around the grounds because they weren't giving the roses enough shade. this was something well needed, it will make the garden healthier for people to enjoy for years to come. and she, again, she talked to a lot of historians and it is back toward the 1962 bunny melon design. this has been in the works for months and months and has nothing to do with tonight's speech. >> why pick that spot, stephanie, given all the questions and entanglements as it relates to the hatch act and concerns of the violations of the hatch act when it comes to holding a political convention speech on the white house grounds, she had the country at her disposal, where she wanted to give this speech, why do it there? >> there is a few reasons. number one, it is their home. this is their home. it is -- the people's house, but it is also their home. so she thought it would be really nice to deliver tonight's speech from their home. she is also not subject to the ha

to convince all the women voters to vote for donald trump simply because she has spoken from the rose garden kimberly let's move on talk about who's prerecorded speech from jerusalem has of course raised a lot of criticisms possibly even violating federal law why would he take that risk well there are couple of reasons number one might pump aoe has has been for a very long time one of the president's staunchest supporters he has been a hard line politician who has even before donald trump was running for election embrace many of the similar policies when it comes to american exceptionalism when it comes to a more hawkish military these 2 men have seen eye to eye but there is also the political career pump aoe himself that certainly is positioning him and perhaps that's why he would run the risk of violating federal law this is a platform that is hard for an ambitious politician to ignore. tekkie says greece must give up its preconditions before the 2 countries can begin a dialogue over disputed energy resources in the mediterranean the nato allies do not want to speed to end up in military c

melania trump will be introducing the new rose garden. you know, i find her to be the -- the jackie kennedy of her time, the beauty, the elegance, the soft-spokenness, i think she'll deliver a powerful message to the american people. i think you'll see secretary pompeo talk very strongly, particularly about the problems we're having with the chinese communist party because he has been most eloquent, but one of the people i'm looking most forward to is a guy named jason joyce who actually is a lobster fisherman from maine and just in the past couple of months we've been able to do some things for the lobster fishermen that will help the state of maine in a tremendous way. that to me will speak to how president trump thinks about getting our economy back to work. so our message -- >> mr. navarro -- >> -- is to defeat the virus and get this economy back to where we were on january 15 when the chinese forgot to tell us there was a global pandemic about to -- about to crush, uh, crush the world. >> mr. navarro, you brought up the secretary of

melania trump will debut the newly renovated rose garden speaking in front of a socially distanced crowdf about 50 people despite concerns from some watch dogs about using white house property for convention events and tonight's speech from secretary of state mike pompeo controversial before he even said a word because pompeo taped his remarks from jerusalem on an official trip though the state department says he is appearing in his personal capacity not at taxpayer expense nbc news has learned house democrats plan to investigate whether that broke the law it is a break from long standing tradition in a convention that at times has painted a picture less optimistic and more apocalyptic. >> your family will not be safe in the radical democrats' america. >> they want to enslave you to the weak, the dependent, liberal, victim ideology >> reporter: the president's son also on attack. >> joe biden and the radical left are now coming for our freedom of speech. they want to bully us into submission. if they get their way it will no longer be the silent majority. it will be the silenced majority

in the confines of the rose garden. now, the rose garden has been reimagined and redesigned by the first lady. it's a tidy coincidence to be sure. the white house insists they have nothing to do with one another. but the idea that the trump family is doing most of its convention business from the confines of the white house tells you the pandemic is not any where near under control. if it was, they would be at a convention site like charlotte. >> speaking of appearances, secretary of state mike pompeo facing criticism from his expected appearance in jerusalem. talk about the influence of mixing diplomacy with politics. >> the idea of being america's top di dip employee mat. as you speak on behalf of the entire country and the entire government and you do so representing all u.s. interests and you do not do things with that office that are even lightly political. let alone overtly political. and this is an overt political maneuver by the secretary of state. but like the trump presidency itself, it essentially looks at pr

it's been out of the limelight she has revamped this rose garden putting her stamp on this presidency in a sort of unique 1st lady sort of way and now will be speaking to the supporters of the president as he looks saw and she makes the case that he should have a 2nd term of course has been very difficult for the 1st lady in lots of ways because she's normally would accompany her husband on the campaign trail in the lead up to the election and so both the republican party as well as the democrats want to re-evaluate they the way they use that principle you might say stars and in this particular case the 1st lady. there's no question that covert 1000 has changed that we saw this with the democratic national convention almost virtual in all respects except for the last night we've not seen a lot of the campaigning now the republican convention has had perhaps a bit more in person gathering but even this is a pared down subdued affair but i think the venue for this is what bothers so many and that is the fact that because of copan 1000 the president is using the people's house the white

to see the first lady deliver almost a 30 minute speech in the rose garden was pretty historic. and the president tonight on the south lawn of the white house has been truly remarkable. frances: one of the striking events was the swearing in of five new citizens. this happened at a time when the president has reduced legal immigration by something like 49% according to some statistics. kellyanne: i'm really happy that the president could show america a naturalization ceremony. most americans have probably never seen one or heard about one. that is wonderful for that to have a light shined on it. i think people who otherwise don't tune into political rallies, you are watching these conventions carefully. i'm very pleased that they can see that from a cultural perspective. immigration, it was remarkable for me to watch joe biden try to put a lot of distance between him and the boss he served, president obama. he did that on the issue of immigration. joe biden showed up at a debate and people were mocking him. deep order in chief. record number of deportations. people forget that.

i mean think about it, american taxpayers paid for the rose garden. american taxpayers pay for the secretary of state's travel. so those things shouldn't be used to partisan purposes. they should be used for nonpartisan things like easter egg hunts or presented fake evidence to get america into a war. and even more importantly, the president shouldn't treelt powers like granting pardons on naturalizing imgrapts as personal favors that he can hand out to get vote force himself. because that is not the leader's job in a democracy. and if trump can't be bothered to maintain even the cosmetic appearance of democracy, st not his second term that people should be worried about, it is his third and his fourth. all right, we'll take a quick break but when we come back, we'll talk about what is happening in kenosha. so stay tun ♪ ♪ vented where you want it. cool when you need it. coolzone™fly. from fruit of the loom®. welcome to camp tonsafun on xfinity! it's summer camp, but in your living room. learn how to draw with a minions expert... how to build an indoo

more than once and we know one of those appearances will be alongside the first later live in the rose garden for her big speech tonight. the other big speech tonight, secretary of state mike pompeo who will be delivering the reported address from jerusalem. that's a first time the secretary of state has ever addressed a political convention in modern times. >> as you said records show democratic republicans would have the secretary of state and games they should not be engaged in any partisan activities. as they work at the state department. >> and his personal capacity no state department resources will be used and staff are not involved in preparing the remarks or they arranged for secretary pompeo's arrangement and the state department will not bear any costs in conjunction with the appearance. other big speakers tonight, eric trump and tiffany trump which is notable because the president's daughter doesn't speak in public all that often. and one more thing, after that big downpour that you and i got stuck in yesterday, i went ahead and check the weather for tonight and as of now there is

senator santorum, it's certainly unconventional mike pompeo and melania trump from the rose garden.it inappropriate? >> look, i mean, i would say that i can't speak to the state department rules but certainly for cabinet officials, i mean, i wish i had a dollar for every cabinet official i campaigned with during my time in politics. i could buy everyone a nice dinner. often they give political speeches. i don't know where congressman castro is coming off about any ill legality. it is, i would agree for a secretary of state, usually secretary of state don't do a lot of pot litical events or ve few at all. i was in iowa with mike pompeo. mike is very focused on obviously getting the president reelected but focused on preparing himself for a run in four years. that makes a difference and finally, he's in israel because the president just pulled off an enormous foreign policy victory with the israeli uae peace treaty. that's probably the reason you see this because they want to highlight the president has something very big done for the country. >> van? >> look, i don't agree that this

literally using the rose garden. melania trump's speech in the rose garden. appearing several times last night at white house events including use of the united states marines to swing open the doors for him walking into a naturalization ceremony and the secretary of state who in the past normally sits out conventions. a secretary of state and democratic and republican administration saying, i represent america and the world. i'm sitting it out. not mike pompeo in the middle of an official taxpayer funded trip pops up in the convention from jerusalem. >> i'm speaking to you from beautiful jerusalem. looking out over the old city. president trump has put his america first vision into action. it may not have made him popular in every foreign capital, but it's worked. >> ethics in d.c. throwing up their arms. file a complaint. violates this, that. does it matter to voters? >> probably doesn't matter to many voters. it certainly is worth raising flags about. i mean, to the degree he has appropriated the federal government to make it as if its his own and put it i
