That district primary is going to be extremely primary. Host lets talk about money. Senate democrats want to regain control of the senate thomas a senate as well. How does that affect the Campaign Committee . Reporter the senate is the top priority, i think, when you look at what is available and what the partys chances are. If this becomes a real and itde at some point, looks like the house is more in place for democrats and we will see some of this money pour in. You have to look at the republican side and donald trump raising money through the rnc and this joint fundraising account, we dont know if he will raise money at a high pace. He does well so far but he has not been out there fundraising for years and years. There are questions i think on the republican side as well. Theher they will have resources to protect the majority. Host your takeaway on the conversation . Reporter democrats have an admirable crop of candidates under the circumstances. Probably not enough to put the house over the top for democrats, but i think it will be a good night for democrats if they pick that 15 seats. Host David Wasserman and Sean Sullivan of the washington post, for both of you, that you so much for your time.

Im going to turn it over to paul, who is going to talk about the programming and some of the things the campaign is going to do. Thank you. We have been planning this convention for about one year or two. We are excited about it. That they have put together an Incredible Program as far as the technical aspects of the convention. The stage itself, we think is incredible. Mr. Trump loves it. Mrs. Trump loves it even more. We are looking forward to a very positive time this week. We will talk a little bit about what we are trying to accomplish this week and then open it up to some questions. Mr. Manafort the plan for the top campaign for this convention is to help the American People understand more about donald trump, the man, not just the candidate they have seen on the campaign trail, but the breath of the man himself, his career, his personal life, his philanthropic life. Interesting speakers this week are really beyond the traditional political figures that tend to speak at conventions. They will be family members speaking, people know him personally, friends, employees who have worked with him, people who have worked with him in business from outside the companys that have then deals with them, they will talk about his business acumen, his personal life, his ability to solve problems, and then, we have ordinary americans, people who were participated in some of the historic moments over the last several years talking about their have ordinas , failed of the things policies of the obama and Clinton Administration and how they have impacted them. The thing the theme tomorrow night is to make america safe again. It will deal with both the crisis that the country is suffering internationally as well as the country suffering in beon rouge and we will talking about the expenses personally and folks were been affected by some of the failed policies. Will do some of that. I will go through some of the themes and answering any of your questions. Care about what is going to happen tomorrow afternoon at the business session. We are confident tomorrow at the platform that was recommended by the Platform Committee will be passed. Changes to theal platform from 2012 that have the distinctive impact of donald trump and his campaign, in particular, the platform recognizes mr. Trumps position on trade and the importance of dealing with trade on a bilateral basis versus a multilateral basis, the importance of having what he called fair trade deals, good trade deals for america that bring, excuse me, jobs back to america. Cuts heses the tax talking about and some of his economic programs. It embraces the appeal of the Johnson Amendment which was passed in the early 1960s under president johnson, which affects oax status of the three c4, in particular the churches. It also deals with issues such as repealing, bringing back glasssteagall and repealing. Frank. These are all things mr. Trump has open about on the campaign trail, the importance of taking the gridlock, breaking up the rate system, the rate banking system, the rigged the rigged banking system. The delegates to the convention will reaffirm it. We are pleased about what happened in the rules committee this week where those attempts the primaryiscredit season and the votes of millions of republicans and independents was rejected by the delegates overwhelmingly. It was crushed. A lot of the news that was made a leading up to the News Committee about the never trump organizations was not reflected in the delegates to this convention. It was more super pac organizations that were being funded by third parties who had nothing to do with the convention and they were trying to disrupt the decisionmaking of the Republican Voters who participated in the primary process. We are confident that the rules that were passed, that affect the delegates that were selected, will be approved tomorrow in the business session as well. I will point, i think stop and open it up so we deal directly with some of your questions. We are hearing that mr. Tonight actually rice tomorrow. Mr. Trump might actually rise tomorrow. Mr. Manafort donald trump will be donald trump. Scripted is the wrong word, asking me how he will be. He will probably be making a couple of appearances. Tomorrow night, all we are confirming is that the lot he will be here. [indiscernible] win a vote ofould , could he win if the delegates were free to vote their conscience, and if so, why not allow that to happen . The delegates were elected by the voters according to the rules of the convention and they will reflect those primaries. Yes, of course hes going to win. This is a trump convention. Yes, of course you would. This is a trump convention. The party is united. There has been much a do about very little. In the Republican Party or the republican delegates, we have won with the largest. Other candidacies as well. The party has united. If a few people who were holding out and they do not reflect anything other than their own personal opinions. Yes, it is going to be a solid convention tomorrow. There is no reason to do toething that is contrary the rules. People are voting their consciences. They voted them already. Yes . About trump talked immortality program. [indiscernible] about a moretalked exciting program. [indiscernible] mr. Manafort youre going to have a combination of people who are in everyday life, of people affected by the combination of events. Membersct the family have been talking about the candidate because we feel that the personal story of donald trump is something that needs to be told. It will be told through their eyes best. Some of the names from tomorrow that we have on the agenda, we have got marcus seal,ll, u. S. Navy marc giese, john segan with the battle of benghazi, rachel and sean duffy, with the hispanic initiative, sheriff of milwaukee county. We have your senator jeff mayorns, mayor giuliani, of new york, mrs. Trump. We have a wide assortment of people who are everyday people. We have an assortment of people who have a story to tell. It is when you different convention. It is going to be a different convention. We cannot get a question, sir. Donald trump is going to be here. We are going to do about tomorrow. [laughter] we will bet announcing that tomorrow as well. You guys discuss a little bit about security aspects. The Cleveland Police chief it has requested that the governor trying to enact some kind of further research in on guns further restriction on guns. The governor said that is not something that i am able to do legally. I just wanted to hear your thoughts, mr. Larson, about the thation about the things raise it to a different level here. Security is important. Mr. Larson security is important. They have been planning around the Security Issues here for over nine months. Carry laws and ohio have not changed recently. It has been in effect for quite some time. They have had a number of big events that have taken place at open carry without any issues. They have been planning to security around that issue. It is a constitution in ohio. The governor cannot simply say, i am going to relax it for a day or tighten it up for a five day. Time. Day period of i feel good about the security plan. I think they have had a couple of issues yesterday. There are a lot of people coming here to execute their First Amendment right. We are going to be supportive of that. This is the United States of america will get a chance to do that in an orderly fashion. When they start getting disorderly, i think the police will move in and take an effort. I feel good about the security and what we have done and what we have planned. I think it is going to be fine. The speakers also, they should be in your inbox. We have the speakers for the rest of the week. First openly gay speaker of the Republican National convention. Does mr. Trump agree with the Republican Partys platform upch seems to amps up amp things like gay marriage. Peter teedo is speaking because he knows donald trump and he will be talking about donald trump, the man he knows. Entrepreneur, he can speak from a standard that we think is important for the American People to hear. Sexual preference, bus has set,pre people are going to be speaking at this convention based on what they want to say and not on any particular sexual preference. And that is why he is on the program or anything to his comments. Many of thebraces aspects of the platform. Has spoken on his positions in the campaign and his positions are wellknown. Vincent thompson. Talke an africanamerican ofio station based out philadelphia. Donald trump is not doing well with africanamericans in polls and latinos. In order for him to win, hes going to need those groups. Donald trumps polling, we saw one that said he had 0 in the poll. How is donald trump, with many of the statements, convince africanamericans to vote for him. Are you concerned he will market those voting critical states like the link . How is your Convention Going to reflect it . First of all, any poll that had 0 , i do not pay any attention to to start with. To say he has 0 in any immunity is not a credible number. Secondly, we think the problems in the inner cities of the United States have not been solved by the administration by the obama administration. It has gotten worse. We think that the message that that donald trump is talking about, jobs, security, trying to bring law and order into a community with no preference to any particular ethnic group, we think those messages will resonate. Theink that while Africanamerican Community has been taken for granted by the Democratic Party and given the situations they are now confronted with, we think there will be an appeal of his message to their community. Did we accepted. Majority of the Africanamerican Community . No. The leaders of that demographic have been part of the democratic establishment. We are realistic about that. Hispanic support is growing. And simply think you have mentioned, if you look at some the polls that have been in the paper, you see that mr. Trump tossed support in the Hispanic Community has grown in the past month. As we carry our campaign to those communities, that the appeal of his message is going to work. I expect to do much better than romney did in a 12 in Hispanic Community. Did in to 12 in the Hispanic Community. 2012 in the Hispanic Community. [indiscernible] mr. Manafort speak up, i cannot hear you. Tomorrow, we are talking about making america safe again. Tuesday no we will be talking abouight foreignpolicy issues tuesday night, we will be talking about foreignpolicy issues.

Schultze, thank for joining us this morning. Guest good loans arena right behind us. Is it ready . Is cleveland ready for what is about to happen . I think the city has done as good a job as can be expected to adjust as national, International Things have happened. Guest what do we do and how do we adjust. Some of the great unknowns are preparing for a huge crowd and yesterday during a black lives matter event, thousands were expected, maybe 200, 300 showed up. You over plan. What are some of the security preparations like . Given the threat of isis and other terrorism and what is happening in our country, what are the security preparations like . To strollingy use down these 9th street past the ballpark, it is not going to happen this week. One of the most striking things were these metal barricades about seven feet tall, going up all around the venue. It obviously is a little intimidating. Liketle scary, just a site that, to think you have to do that. Obviously, they did think you had to do that. The city is prepared with Bicycle Police officers. They specially outfitted the bicycles. That is nice, happy talk, but the bikes can also be used for crowd control. Come horse patrols have in. They have recruited as many as 2000 Police Officers from other cities to come in and have worn them in. Sworn them in. The city maintains control. 77 with a k9p cruiser right beside me, heading up here. They work out the relationship. What is the role of security versus secret Service Versus federal agencies that are also in charge of security at a convention. Guest the secret service role is very clearly defined. It is basically quicken loans arena, the Convention Center where reporters will be, and the area between those and around progressive field. That is their area. They set the rules. Nobody goes in or out without credentials or without pretty strict checks. The city set even zone. Zone. T even zone event the city came up with a slightly narrower parameter and accommodations for homeless people, things like that. There,y has control and the secret service has control. The fbi has been around for quite a while, stopping in on activist groups. Some people saw that as intimidating, others saw it as comforting to feel out whos going to be around what they are planned for. Host Homeland Security secretary jeh johnson said he was concerned. He has concerns. He was coming here to cleveland on friday to check it out himself and then heading to philly as well. Guest i would be stunned if they were not watching that given the tenor of what is happening not only nationally but worldwide. There is no higher profile event than these two i convention. You have got to do it right. Host we are about one mile away with this is all going to
