Achieve American Energy independence. So this is something. Maria you have had the opportunity to you have a advice, to speak with donald trump. Can you give us a sense your kfgs, what so to eliminate that would be the silliest thing we could do. Maria how do you convince the average voter out there about the impact of not just economic growth, but so we are going to be reaching out to them. Maria will trump be able to deliver that mess and and have met in my life. Maria wow, thats a big statement. He is, and he has delivered it. And he will do it here. Maria the stock market hitting record hig we are a on a huge run. I brought that up early monday morning. People see the difference. Where would you put your money .

You have got to believe the 15 corporate thanks rate is resonating tell the truth to the american public, thats huge. Maria let me ask you about the country right now, its great. Maria is the party uniting behind donald trump . Ted cruz is going to speak tonight. But he said earlier even this one is really different. Maria how about the Business Community . Are they behind trump . They are. Maria thanks for weighing in, harold hamm, well be watching your speech tonight. Lets bring in matt schlapp and ford carlson. Ford . Hes right. Thats the goal to make a case that donald trump can restore america to the shining city on the hill providing new Economic Opportunities for her citizens. But i would be lying if i didnt say all eyes are on mike pence who has the dual task of introduction himself to the world and making a case for donald trump. Maria Speaker Paul Ryan will introduce pence tonight. What mess and does pence need to drive home in terms of his own biography in addition to speaking to the party as a whole . First goal for every person who gets picked for Vice President is they have to walk on to that stage and convince the American People that they are ready for the job. Mike pence has been the governor of indiana. Before he was in congress, he was a national figure. But a lot of people dont know him. Do they see him functioning as Vice President which means you have got to be ready to be president. The second test is just generally, the first take on the guy, is he likeable . Dose seem smart . The third test is, is this ticket going to stand for conservative values that are at the base of the Republican Party . I think it will reiterate those themes as well. Maria fox news confirmed the Trump Campaign reached out to john kasich for the Vice President slot saying he would be the strongest on Foreign Policy. Then donald trump pushed back on that. But he chose. Running mate with a strong governing background. Donald trump is going to become the next president of the United States, it will be the industrial midwest that will drive it home. The oil and gas and coal sector. The manufacturing sector. The bottom line is, mike pence answered the call and hes someone from the midwest who can bring that Manufacturing Base back. And to be perfectly honest, every outsider needs a yin and yang. And if hes anything like the speech he delivered to the American Conservative Union earlier this week, he will hit a home run. Maria you have got newt gingrich, what will you be looking for tonight . Is there a theme . Obviously make America First again. What do you want to see from these speeches to make it seem like it will resonate with the voter . I want to hear what eric trump has to say. I have listened to these trump grown children give their remarks about their father. I know a lot of them have dontell vision interviews. But more americans are watching them, they humanize their dad. These kids talking about their dad, thats the most important success. The other speech thats critically important is newt gingrich. Making the case to the rest of these republicans who might be recalcitrant, time to get on board. Nobody has the rhetorical flair like newt gingrich. I agree the best calling card donald trump has in terms of connecting with average voter is his children. I hope they continue the success they have had at this convention. Maria i know you agree donald trump, jr. Rocked the house. He got everybody excited and n and energized. Former mcdonalds ced of a big. Night three for the Republican National convention.

People are understanding who he is, meeting him for the first time. In donald trump we have an exciting charismatic leader who will be barging his way through being a great president. And pence is a rock solid thoughtful man. And hes going to balance trump bully. Maria you have trump who is business headquartered in new york, and pence is a midwesterner. Comes from indiana. Do you think he will be able to indianapolis the vibrancy of the city. He will do a great job. Maria you think he will be able it with obama. I think trump will do it because he understands the problems we got. Maria during your tenure at mcdonalds you experienced phenomenal growth. What is the vision for the country to get that kind of growth . How do we break out of this 1 to 2 growth. Wa the thing about mcdonalds, we had the resources to do it. Its that simple. Maria roll back regulation is part of trumps platform. Taxation, another major i will be as aggressive as i can early. The congress and the senate will full of angst and worried. We need to rally behind trump and get the job done and grow this country. Maria you have to believe the convention is doing that a bit. Well also hear from ted cruz later tonight. His words will also be central brand for conservative behavior. Ted has got to get some maturity. I think he will be a great president in four or eight years. I would love to have him be president some day. Hes got what we need. Maria he said he will run again. So well see about that. You wonder if hes going to work ted cruz is no dummy. If he wants to win in the future he has to get all the people convinced at this convention that hes the guy. You become the guy by supporting the team. My governor kasich embarrasses me.

Get with the program. Maria we have eric trump and marco rubio speaking tonight.

We need to educate our population. Maria great to talk to you. Ed rensi. Protesters have gathered in cleveland outside the arena where a flagburning movement caused a scuffle. We are live tonight from the arena here in cleveland for day three of the Republican National convention. With this level of intelligence. Its a supercomputer. With this grade of protection. Its a fortress. And with this standard of luxury. Its an oasis. Introducing the completely redesigned eclass. Its everything you need it to be. And more. See your authorized dealer for exceptional offers through mercedesbenz financial services. Mercedesbenz. The best or nothing. Maria protesters congregated outside of the rnc all week. But earlier today anarchists staged a flag burning. The only networks to cover it, fox and fox business. Its a much calmer scene where we are. This is the perimeter, the gate where the secret service allow the attendees to go in. As we cut away from that video we shot when we were reporting on the live protests. These anarchists brought an American Flag in. I knew this was going to happen because they announced it in advance. But what caught the police offguard is they came in normal clothes. Then they put their shirts and on started to light the flag. There was a lot of pushing and shoving. But the police moved in with the help of police from all over the United States. They pushed the perimeter back two city blocks. It took a halfhour to 40 minutes to do so. Now as you look at the convention attendees, this is a calm scene. Everybody is going in hoping to enjoy night three of the convention. So we are hoping that there is a repeat of what we saw yesterday. 4 00 p. M. Hour yesterday in Public Square we had a protest that got plather rowdy. But the night was quite calm so authorities are hoping history repeats itself this evening. Well see. Back to you inside. Maria what is the point . I dont even understand what their point is to burn the flag. They dont have a point. They dont have a political point. They are against everything. They want the government to be overthrown. Anarchy. Their point is to disrupt the convention at the point where people go in. Where lori and i are standing, lori is the photographer, is exactly where the flag was burned. They get right up to where everyone is going in and they light a flag on fire. This is or 8 feet from the secret service perimeter where everybody is going into the convention. The police have done an excellent job for the three days we have been her in maintaining their cool, not taking the bait. But when they have to move in they do so decisively and calmly. And they did it today. Maria thank you to our law enforcement. Outside the Convention Center there are examples of discord. Inside the party is aiming or unity. Chris christie and Ben Carson Clinton who has become a unifying feature of the convention. Is that a fair statement . With the bernie sanders, and Hillary Clinton wing. We are starting to unify going into november. Maria what do you want to see in term of numbers naming of people, in terms of who is going to be in his cabinet. What do you want to see from donald trump to copa i think what donald has to do is to get deep policy folk trusted by the conservative movement into these positions. I think mike pence was a brilliant choice. He was a staunch conservative, fist cool and social. Trump is going to win. He has to win the rust belt in wisconsin. We communicate differently than new york. Im looking forward to conservatives who are steeped in good conservative policy. Maria donald trump, one of the most controversial candidates in years. Do you think hes been successful so far this week in unifying the party because of that . Because hes not part of the establishment an republican in any prior primary process. The guy is doing thing unconventionally but hes winning with big numbers. I think what he has to do is keep that rogue factor going on. If he stays on script so media cant to win. Who would have thought with the kind of comment he makes and the times who has fought for them is donald trump. They think they are exactly the same. Same as donald in construction. Thats how he touched people with his language. Maria its also about policy. Paul ryan and Mitch Mcconnell last night and hardly mentioned Donald Trumps name. Has the establishment fully embraced him or is it what hes going to say about the policy and the platform. E we have been working on policy prescriptions for 4 to years, tax reform. How do we roll back rules and regulations that can help our private sector expand and grow. I think if paul ryan and Mitch Mcconnell extend that olive branch to donald, and i thinkthd the scenes. I was at a they are going to go with donald trump, though there is still some heart bush over it, maria. Maria the anticlinton sentiment, there is a lot of it here. But there has got to be more than that. It cant just be vote for me because you dont want to vote the unique component, these are diehard republicans, they vote inner election. You can motivate them. Donald is reaching out to thesee crazy builder bill why air concept from new york. Maria congressman, good to see you. We appreciate your time. Sean duffy. The delegates officially nominated donald trump as their nominee last night. Lets bring in matt schlapp and amy, let me kick this off with you. Whats your take on the unity question . I dont think it is a question anymore. We finalized our candidate. We are excited to move forward. And i would hope that tonight that thats the remaining speeches and thats the way they go, and everyone jumps on board. Maria matt, your take on this. You heard the speeches, paul ryan, Mitch Mcconnell. What do you think . You have got to believe they are rallying around the platform, right . Thats right. You think aboutton. Hes an outsider. If these longtime elected officials dont want to utter his name have much, it doesnt matter. If there are other elected officials that want to endorse him, it doesnt matter. We shouldnt be surprised if longtime washington politicians are uncomfortable with them. I just reinforced this mess and that conservatives across this country want to send which is we have got to send a didnt type of person to washington. Someone with the character to stand up to these entrenched problems. And we are not making the progress on them that we need to. Maria the chair of the Alaska Coalition fought the chair over their vote count. Will they coalesce around the candidate . I called them the antitrump gnats. I find it obnoxious and its time to move forward. If they dont jump on board, they will miss out. We dont need them. He secured the candidates i. I come from the state of nevada and i originally supported Carly Fiorina and governor kasich. And he hasnt jumped on board. He does havent to wear a trump shirt and trump hat, but i wish he would jump on board with us. Maria when you look at the Republican Party and donald trump its about rolling back regulation and lowering taxes. When you look at Hillary Clinton, its about building on obamas regulations and raising taxes. Thats a very clear choice. The scary thing here is the American Voter needs to realize barack obama has worked around congress. Even a Republican House and senate would not be able to prevent Hillary Clinton from having a third obama term. Its very important for these republicans who arent quite sold on donald trump to realize, we have to put a republican in the white house to work with that Vice President<\/a> tonight. Reporter the Trump Campaign<\/a> says the speakers will discuss the republican vision for a new leadership for america. Senator ted cruz will speak. He may endorse donald trump. Well see.

Yet another innovation only at a sleep number store. Maria welcome back live from cleveland and the quicken loans arena. Ted cruzs speech is being described as forward thinking and optimistic. Lets talk about ted cruzs speech. What would be forward and optimistic from your standpoint, ford . To be perfectly honest, i have no idea what ted cruz is going to say. What i would say if hes not going to say anything nice about donald trump, i hope he continues to prosecute the case against Hillary Clinton<\/a> and explain why conservative values are important to governing america going forward. I hope he doesnt do what Chris Christie<\/a> did in 2012 and make the speech about him. The Supreme Court<\/a> as ted cruz realizes very well is whats at stake. Maria mercedes, will he take the high road and extend an olive branch like Ronald Reagan<\/a> did in 1986 with president ford . He will need to put himself in second place. There is this reality that exists, trump won fair and square. We are all looking at ted cruz to see if hes willing to help heal the gop civil war. Im hearing from sources that he is not going to endorse. That would be incredibly disappointing. At the ends what we want to see is a victory in 2016. Ted cruz will appear more like reagan who did endorse ford in 1976. And there is no substitute for victory. We need to win in 2016. Otherwise well have a Hillary Clinton<\/a> presidency, a third term obama. I feel its important for ted cruz to come forward, be logical. Not think of 2020 and help donald trump win this november. Earlier today ted cruz said regardless of whether donald trump is president , wins the presidency in november, im going to be running in 2020. He said hes listening, watching and coming to a decision. I think most people want to see that. I agree with you. They are wondering how this party comes together. Lets talk policy for a moment. What would be the most important policy that donald trump can talk about tomorrow. People would like to see more substance at this stage of the game. Its hard to bring in substance at a convention because you are talking about the vision. For trims about make american great again. But i believe its about National Security<\/a> and the economy. Its one of the reasons he brought pence as a vp tag team. Americans are scared. We have seen the terrorist attacks globally at home. I think for donald trump its important for him to talk about the key components and be able to reach americans across the country to deliver his message to say how can we build a stronger economy and insure we can protect our homeland. He needs to insure he makes that case. That he has the temperament to lead. That hes able to go after Hillary Clinton<\/a> and say she does not have the judgment. She does not have the temperament to become commanderinchief. Maria ford, whats most important from your standpoint. I wanted to see donald trump make the case that growth, economics and National Security<\/a> go hand in hand. It will be his policies that will restore america and put it first abroad and at home by giving people new opportunities because thats what american citizens are hungry for. Maria harold hamm mentioned that with regard to oil actually. I want to bring in peter barnes on the Convention Floor<\/a> finding out a lot from various people there. Hes hearing about what ted cruz might have in store. Peter, what are you hearing . The Trump Campaign<\/a> will only say that the delegates will be pleased with ted cruzs speech tonight. Its unclear if hes going to give donald trump a full endorsement. Of course, the Trump Campaign<\/a> would love that. But ted cruz has got probably some ageneral today of his own in a lot of ways talking to his crowd tonight. He still has ambitions for the white house. I think you will at a minimum hear him continue to prosecute Hillary Clinton<\/a>, particularly on the issue of National Security<\/a> and Foreign Policy<\/a> kinds of pick up from where governor Chris Christie<\/a> left off last night. And you also will definitely will hear him say the party needs to now rally i dont know if you call it an endorsement. But needs to rally and unite to defeat Hillary Clinton<\/a> in the fuel. Perhaps a back door endorsement of donald trump if you will. Maria . Peter, thanks so much. I want not from political analyst gina louden. Matt schlapp also joining us. Cruzs speech not vetted by the campaign. What do you anticipate he will i think it will mean a lot for his future aspirations. Maria well hear from another former rival, marco rubio. What will shape things in terms of donald trump in his speech. Its important when donald trump walks on that stage to make sure he feels the deal. They know Hillary Clinton<\/a> plays by a second set of rules. Her numbers on her honesty and trustworthiness are abysmal. They want to make sure they are not doing something irresponsible by starting to support donald trump. These speeches from marco rubio and newt gingrich, especially the folks that evan wished in the primary set that up just perfectly. Its a great point. Thank you so much. Lets take a short break. When we come back lou dobbs will join me. [vet] two yearly physicals down. Martha and mildred are good to go. Heres your invoice, ladies. A few stops later, and it looks like big ollie is on the mend. It might not seem that glamorous having an old pickup truck for an office. Or filling your days looking down the south end of a heifer, but. I wouldnt have it any other way. Look at that, i had my best month ever. And earned a shiny new office upgrade. I run on quickbooks. Thats how i own it. im mary ellen, and i quit smoking with chantix. I have smoked for 30 years and by taking chantix, i was able to quit in 3 months and that was amazing. Along with support, Chantix Varenicline<\/a> is proven to help people quit smoking. It absolutely reduced my urge to smoke. Some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. Some had seizures while taking chantix. If you have any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. Tell your doctor about any history of Mental Health<\/a> problems, which could get worse or of seizures. Dont take chantix if youve had a serious allergic ng. Tell your doctor if you have heart or blood vessel problems, or develop new or worse symptoms. Get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. Decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. Use caution when driving or operating machinery. Most common sideaffect is nausea. I cant believe i did it. I quit smoking. Ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. What are we saying here . Of course, weve got the biggest speech, mike pence. Im joined right now by lou dobbs to give us his insight. What are you expecting . Lou great to be with you, maria. It is going to be an exciting night, in addition to those luminaries, well hear from eric trump to talk about who his father is, as only a son can know. So its going to be amazing, and theres a lot of anticipation. As we start to feel the energy pick up here in the arena. A lot of anticipation abou i felt like last night donald trump jr. Rocked the house. Lou no question about it, and got it from the left overnight. Maria not across the board. Lou if you get any love from the left at all, you are doing well, if youre the son of the presumptive nominee of this be mike pence, his opportunity to introduce himself to the world, make america know who exactly he is. He brings a lot of cred to the ticket. Lou he does, and conservatives of all kinds, his was an important choice by donald trump. If there is any doubt about the fact that donald j. Trump is president ial and will do what is necessary to move the Party Forward<\/a> and to win the white house, i think that concern was allayed in some of the quarters with the choice of mike pence. Mike pence, as mike in indiana said as lieutenant governor, it is absolutely true. He has a remarkable experience in congress, as governor, and people want to hear, when it comes to platform, when it comes to policy coming out of this ticket . Lou the platform is incredibly important to everyone inside the building and not to folks outside of the building. What they want to hear is what donald trump talked about from the outset of his campaign now, 13 months long. They want to hear about what he will do about illegal immigration. How he will secure the border, secure ports, improve the citizenship and Immigration Service<\/a> and make it function well. How he will, in fact, depth refugees and plans to formulate to deal with refugee problems. This country is humanitarian, irrespective of all of the policies, and humane, sometimes to a fault. They want to know how youre going to create all those jobs, mr. Trump. And how are you going to restore prosperity, as he promises, to all americans . Thats going to be i think thats what people want to hear, but most of all, they want to acquire that confidence that only he as a candidate, in my judgment, in both parties has offered. Confidence to the American People<\/a> that they have a future, theyre going to hear more about tonight. Atform. Lou thats right. Maria it shows unity and shows theyre on the same page when it comes to that issue . Lou i would love to have seen former mexican president vicente fox as he found out the Republican Party<\/a> put the wall he is personally going to have to im kidding about that. [ laughter ] no, donald trump made it clear, mexico one way or another will be paying for the wall and illegal immigration will be coming to an end, in all but the most marginal of ways. Its encouraging to think that i mean, to watch those four grown kids, i mean they are so they are such an asset to any candidate to be cynical and clinical about it, but for any father he has to just be busting with pride. Maria says a lot about him. Lou it says the world about him. And i think that theyre probably the difference in this election for some time. I think that family is worth at least, well, i wont put a number on it, but i think they demonstrate that donald trump is a winner. Theyre winners and theyre precisely the family and their family values that we would like in the white house. I di you tomorrow morning with. Eastern. You have the next two hours. Lou wonderful job, as always. Thank you so much. I am lou dobbs. We are live from the quicken loans arena from cleveland, for day three of the Republican National<\/a> convention. I promise you, a long list of the highest profile speakers yet, set to take the stage yet tonight. Theyll be talking about tonights theme, and it is a theme that will resonate in the hearts of most americans.
