Convention and, dont forget tonight americas election headquarters. Complete coverage of the Republican National convention 10 00 p. M. Eastern time. But right now greta goes on the record. This is a fox news alert. Tonight is the night. 13 months ago they said he couldnt do it. 10 months ago they said he couldnt do it. In january they even said he couldnt do it. But here we are. July 21sts 2016 and he has ton it. Yes, the night republicans or at least most republicans have been waiting for. In just about three hours donald trump will take the Convention Stage and make it official. He will accept the republican nomination for president. Earlier today donald trump and his daughter ivanka, who will introduce her father tonight, walked through the arena and right now you can begin to feel the energy and the excitement United States this arena. But last night, different story. Boos filled the air when senator ted cruz snubbed
trump and didnt endorse him. If you love our country, and love your children as much as i know that you do, stand and speak and vote your conscience. Vote for candidates up and down the ticket who you trust to defend our freedom and to be faithful to the constitution. We will unite the party. We will unite the country by standing together for shared values by standing for liberty. God bless each and every one of you and god bless the United States of america. [crowd boos] well, then this morning senator cruz offered this explanation. I am not in the habit of supporting people who attack my wife and attack my father. And that pledge was not a blanket commitment that if you go and slander and attack heidi that im going to none the less come like a
sur puppy dog and say thank you very much for my wife and my father. Former speaker of the house Newt Gingrich goes on the record. How are. How are you. Before we get to donald trump or even introducing him, governor sarah palin said that ted cruz speech last night was a careerending one. Was it . Who knows . America is a country of many come backs. It was pretty stupid and pretty insulting. If somebody gives generous and invites you into their home you dont walk over and pour acid on their flowers fsmght cruz felt as deeply as he said this morning, he shouldnt have been here. But to come here, you have a thousand delegates and alternates who want to elect the next republican president. Tried to tell the press this morning we are hardly divided it was a thousand to 1. He is still defending his decision to do that. So i guess that he will have four years to think about it. Or 8. Or 8 indeed. Okay. Donald trump tonight is he going to be out here. Everyone said it couldnt happen. So much for the pundits, right . All the people up into what was going to happen this november didnt know last . Women vote more than 50 of the vote. He has had a rough ride to put it lightly when it comes to women and secretary of state Hillary Clinton has a commanding lead with women. He has got to get more of the women vote and does he do that tonight . He began a little bit monday night with melania. I think tonight with ivanka he goes another step. I think that his own speech has to communicate a commitment and a vision that people are attracted to whether they are men or women. Over the next couple months, there have a lot of the various polling data Something Like 72 of brind women think Hillary Clinton is a liar. She has a lot of lurents
that i think way her did you know. Wouldnt okay particularly assume she would be the womens candidate. Im gh im assuming we are hot going to hear okay of the things in the past remarks about people personally but yiewnk he will resist being able to Say Something about ted cruz . I hone hes to. I so he no ren for him to engage Hillary Clinton. He already did feeted ted cruz. Go to a very positive definition of the america he wants to lead. Do you have any idea how is he getting into this . He had a surprise entrance with his wife. No idea. He ought to consider riding in an elephant. They gawrted that. Actually, that might not be a good idea. My guess is, first of all, ivanka is going to introduce him. My guess is he will walk on, embrace her and go to the podium. Okay. So between now and november, how does he win ohio and florida . Well, first of all, ohio is tied as of this morning. I think he wins the same way he is going to win everywhere. He wins on jobs. He wins on takehomepay. He wins on affordable healthcare. He wins on safety. He wins on being the law and order candidate at a time when people are very uncomfortable when you have policemen being ambushed and policemen being assassinated. Governor kasich isnt here and ohio being so important would they be more than tried with trump do you think he could or would have helped. He is in a dirn place than cruz. In his hoj state cleveland by the way has been fabulous. You would have thought the home state governor as a courtesy would have shown up on monday to welcome everyone. Its eeshed would that he hasnt. I know you are not in the business giving secretary of
state Hillary Clinton make the announcement tonight. If you were socket clinton who would your pick be. Senator kim contain. I which i the letter is increasing l. Owe posing. She might go to vilsack. In a sense concluded she has to have a male and probably doesnt have available latino who is well enough known nationally to fill the ticket up. So my guess is she is probably going to go either to one of those two. C. P. A. Orrville sack. Cohost of americas newsroom Martha Maccallum is on the Convention Floor and the excitement is growing down there as we get closer to donald trump. Martha is with the new york delegates. What is it like there . Hey there, greta. We are probably in the busiest section of the floor
right now new york which for a change is front and center. We havent seen any real enthusiasm around the new york delegates entire conventions. Usually stuck somewhere in the back there is a bit of an irony here when you think about what ted cruz said last night and the fact there is boos. Peter king said the boos emanated from this area last night. York is fired up tonight about donald trump. Absolutely. Donald trump is our candidate from new york. Not all of us supported him all the way but now 100 percent were behind him 100 percent. Not too crazy about donald trump drashing last nights. It came back to unite him. In terms of thed me of the rnc meeting, very caulk vep relaxed. Governor perry former cab democrat himself. He gave government perry a hard time about calling him cancer on conservatism. Apparently they were able to joke about that. Look at
the candidates who ran and the ability to put some of that to rest. Governor perry certainly has even though he was one of the early people who really pushed back against donald trump. The be a moss city we saw last animosity is reflected when in what we saw today. Seem to come together and donald trump is in a good place in terms of what kind of mood he is. In we saw him earlier today. He came out and tried out the podium it is black with gold trim. A very trumpian look for this podium. He will deliver from what were getting the sense of from the campaign of what they have put out so far, the speech will focus very strongly on law and order. Its a narrative that he has built really since he began his campaign and talked about the southern border. And that narrative built all the way through the kate steinle murder that was so horrific in San Francisco that he became so passionate about and going all the way through San Bernardino and orlando and now it is happening to Police Officers in our city. He basically will say that basic safety of the people
in this country is fundamental. You cant have prosperity until you have that. And that he is focused on restoring law and order to the country. That at the present time its the most element tall responsibility of the pacht. Without that you have a tough time to do anything sells. Look for him to look extensively and give numbers and move on to the next topic. More from the floor. Back to you. Donald trump is soon to be at at the helm of the republican party. Mitch mcconnell goes on the record. Divonk, sir. Good evening. Greta. There is a few straggler that hasnt got on the trump train. A fee. Broad is i think we have a Great United Party going into the general election, people are
enthusiastic about the trump candidacy now. Whether they were earlier or not and im pretty excited about it all. I want to talk about the speed bumps in connection with senator ted cruzs speech last night not endorsing getting booed. Donald trump also made a another comment yesterday about nato saying that before he automatically jumps to the defense of a nato ally he wants to make sure they have fulfilled their obligation. Thats guided some of the republicans. I disagree with that i think nato is the most important military alliance in world history. I want to assure if any of them are attacked we will be there. I imagine y attention to the Hillary Clinton vp choice. Pick some senators may have impact whether or not you have extra senator. If she were to pelc senator cain i dont know what happens after that whether the governor appoints someone or special
election. Could open up another seat. Elizabeth warren republican governor and cory bookie has republican governor. My questions is she is no, sir going to pick somebody in a state with a republican governor, i dont think she will do that. Are youoing to keep the snalt . Yes. Its going to be hard. We have 24 up. 10. 6 to 8 of them are in competitive races. Good news is grateful incumbents winning a tense campaign. During our talk the dancing on the floor has started. Music and dancing, thats a good sign, right . Absolutely. Donald trump says is he law and order. Is that a big theme this year among Republican Voters . I think so. When you see whats happening on the streets of america and streets of europe, whether its whether the terrorists acts are fomented by domestic terrorists unrelate to do isil or whether its isil inspired, i think people are
worried about safety in their observe communities. I think they expected president of the United States to stand up for many women in blue and go after isil over in iraq and syria. You have worked with secretary of state Hillary Clinton back when she was notice u. S. Senate. What are your thoughts of her in terms of law and order and senator. Seen by some as iraqish. Dwelling, shear is not, think think her policies are similar to domestically and overseas. Real live if people want to change there is only one vote can you cast to get a genuine change from the direction we have been taking the last eight years. If people are satisfied with where we are in newark, they ought to sloot for Hillary Clinton. If they think we can do better, donald trump is the candidate. A year ago would have you guessed donald trump would be your partys nominee. I wouldnt have guessed
it you this is exirch different of bother they got one highly were experienced insider to be running mate nice balanced ticket. The pundits didnt expect that either. Senator, nice to see you. Nice to see you, greta. Tonight is without a doubt the biggest night at the convention both outside the arena and inside on the streets. Griff jenkins is live in the middle of a growing protest. Griff . Hi, greta. Thats right. We are a few blocks from the cue arena. Just the Public Square behind me a group thats within the most vocal. You see their lines, america would never break, they are owe opposing trump. Doing so peacefully. We see it peacefully. It an important thing and testament to the folks here as well as the police, the thousands of police here. There was just someone holding a sign saying prosperity cures poverty. This has been the main area
for the protest so far down here in this square. This brought to you by the q arena seen as security risk. Now they are truly doing First Amendment stuff. If you will look behind me pan your way and look in here. Look at the number of Law Enforcement here standing guard over there, greta, on horseback. Of course, the bike patrols that have been so successful have been out here. Now, to date the Law Enforcement has arrested a total of 23 people. None today and as you see, these officers are doing an incredible job of keeping the city peaceful. Now when we give you a little bit of perspective which is what we want to do, greta, you look and see a small group of protesters at any point did we see any assemblies other than that be with that we brought to you yesterday. Just testament to the Critical Condition he haddable job chief calvin
woods has con his or her by spherd. After the allayen officer a jimmy sweating profusely. He powstled the cold gatorade out of his pants pocket and gave it to jimmy. Its unbelievable. Thats whats going on in the public scare. He want want to at this point pay part by the police making it tea hats off to the police and Law Enforcement here. All right. Donald trump. Well, is has led an extraordinary life. But tonight may be the biggest night of his entire life. Short time from right now he will officially accept the 2016 g. O. P. President ial nomination. Joining me in the sky box, former Texas Governor rick perry, former navy seal the film lone survivor is based on marcus luttrell. Good evening both of you. Thank you for having us. A special thanks as always to a navy seal. Thank you very much for your service. Everyone is so proud to meet one. Fun to meet you. Yes, maam. Big night here. Big speech for donald trump. It will be. I think we are going to hear strong message on the Military Building up on our economy on keeping america safe with border. Thats the three messages i expect to hear from him. This is exciting. This has been an exciting convention. Marcus, what do you think . Exactly what he said. This is my first time. Its your first time here . It is. Guest of governor perry. Wouldnt let me in without him. I came in monday and lucky enough to stay the entire week and experience the whole thing. The electricity and vibe over the week has felony and grown and grown so the culmination tonight should be epic. When you talk to some of your colleagues that have searched in the military, what do they think about this race this year . Well, behind closed doors, openly we keep our mouth shut like we are supposed to. Behind closed doors . Behind closed doors its interesting. And because of the dynamic how shift of the last eight years. Were really interested in seeing how the next shift administration. Let me governor, you were in the army so help me. You know me, i will be a little bit more blunt about this because i talk to a lot of these kids. I was the commander and chief for 14 years of Texas Military forces. We deployed them multiple times. Not only in the state but then obviously the federal government did, do. I visited with them in iraq and afghanistan. These are fabulous young men and women. And over the last eight years i will tell you there has been some substantial concern, not only by the degradation of their ability to have the resources that they need, but there is beginning to be a trust factor. When we see what happened in benghazi. When we see the secretary of
state with emails. Listen, his brother is a navy seal as well morgan. Morgan and i had a conversation he said listen, i left one paper on my desk that said secret when i was in gentleman jabuti. He said they almost kicked me out of the team when i walked away from my desk and left that one piece of paper on there. And you have got a secretary of state who we dont know how much classified information and we dont know where it went, so, that, along with are they going to be there for me . If im halfway around the world and i get in a sling, is the government going to be there to help me . Are they going to do everything they can to bring me home . I will tell you, with what happened in beangz, there benghazi. The other concern i would expect the military is the v. A. I mean, it is, i think, every american feels ashamed when we read that some vet cant get medical care. And i realize, you know, how complicated it is and the severity of the injuries. One of those candidates better have a good plan to clean that up for the american voter. You agree. Yes, maam. When i joined the military, i had no thoughts of when i got out, i didnt care about my medical treatment or anything like that. Buns u. Once you get out, especially if you are damaged and thats the only place we can go, the healthcare needs to be up to par. And its not. I mean, you have got guys, the same guys that came out that got spit on are now dying in the streets. I dont know how that gets overlooked. Well, can i tell you that a lot of americans didnt serve. Im not hurt but i get ashamed every time i hear that vets arent getting the care and we need to. It will change when there is the will at the white house. Miss greta, it doesnt have to be good health. Just some kind of healthcare. Guys arent going to argue about it or complain about it even if its abysmal just give them some. It needs to be good it needs to be as good as we have got in this country for the boys and girls that
serve this country. Im speechless on the topic we have got to serve yall. Nice to see you. On the record is back in cleveland next as we kick off prime time in the Number One Network in all of cable. Straight ahead, a close personal friend of the trump family. Were back in moments. On every purchase, everywhere. Like on that new laptop. Quicksilver keeps things simple, gary. And smart, like you and i like that. I guess i am pretty smart. Dont let that go to your head, gary. Whats in your wallet .
