The hackers also stole dnc research on trump Campaign Chairman paul manafort. Obviously we dont know who is behind the seeks. I do know one thing, the leaks put the dnc at risk.

Today on the markets, stocks were down. The dow lost 78, the s p 500 fell 7. The nasdaq dropped 3. Coming up, why did 60 minutes not just bury the lead in its Hillary Clinton interview but throw dirt on it, as well . Media analyst howard kurtz is next with that. But first, a look down on the Convention Floor and what makes this stage unique. They started working on this arena at the end of may. It takes about 15 million to transform this place. This stage is massive. Its the biggest l. E. D. Screen in the world. This is the same arena george bush accepted the nomination in 2000. Special report continues after this. Safety doesnt come in a box. Its not a banner that goes on a wall. Its not something you do now and then. Or when its convenient. Its using stateoftheart simulators to better prepare for any situation. Its giving offshore teams onshore support. And its empowering anyone to stop a job if something doesnt seem right. At bp, safety is never being satisfied. And always working to be better. Ominous skies outside the Wells Fargo Center. Inside, the new members, house members, just e llectelected, j introduced. Obviously, people are watching. Welcome back to philadelphia. The Democratic Convention. Theyre watching and waiting to see what happens with the sanders supporters. If you were waiting to hear Hillary Clintons response to this whole dnc email scandal and she canned out her appearance on 60 minutes last night, you were still waiting. Thats because the folks of cbs put her answer to the question online. Not on air. Fox news media analyst howard kurtz tells us its par for the course with the political press. Reporter the media questioned early on whether donald trump was headed for a debacle, the New York Times saying republican officials bracing for chaos, and the mishaps fuelled the bad news narrative. This convention is a mess. Reporter there were few negative predictions for the dnc. And when wikileaks released 20,000 emails, it did not create a furor. No front page story in the New York Times or the washington post. The email story didnt explode until it prompted dnc chair Debbie Wasserman schultz to resign on sunday during a 60 minutes interview, scott pelley asked about the email. I didnt know anything about it, and i am adamantly opposed to anyone bringing religion into our political process. Reporter but 60 minutes put that portion online only. I was struck as i was reading the emails to her in the interview, her eyes widened as if to say what is this about . What are you talking about . Reporter but the story had broken the day before that saturday interview. Its too early to know exactly how this came about. Reporter president obama seemed to contradict himself about the benghazi attack. That was posted two days before the election. Most tv interviews are edited for time, but how does this not make the cut . Bret . That is amazing. Howie, thank you. Lets get some perspective on this conventions early chaos from brit hume. Good evening. Good evening, bret. On the day the convention opened, democrats woke up to news their Party Chairman had been given the heaveho and their candidate has fallen behind in the polls. Democrats thought the republican gathering in cleveland last week, such a glaring display of disunity, that they could capitalize by making their own unity the them of the first day. Then came the leaked emails, the Debbie Wasserman schultz ouster. So much for unity. Not to mention the chorus of boos and thumbs down that greeted sanders when he urged supporters to support the clinton ticket. They were and are afraid of so alienates sanders supporters that they dont back the nominees this ball. Theyll be deeply relieved if tonight isnt dominated by the cheering of sanders and the booing for his support of the ticket. If this sounds like the dilemma faced with the republicans and donald trump, it is. But the difference is, they didnt nominate the candidate they were afraid of, the republicans did. But hes ahead in the polls. Were following the Convention Schedule here. Theres not a worry that Hillary Clinton or tim kaine are not going to get the nomination and the roll call vote. But there is a worry there could be something embarrassing on the floor. Look, we cannot rule out after what he saw today in those meetings with sanders and his supporters and the one with Debbie Wasserman schultz in the florida delegation, that Hillary Clinton and tim kaine could be booed by the convention thats nominating them. Thats possible. These sanders delegates are convinced, and sanders is himself a conspiracy theorist, that this nomination was stolen from him by the Democratic National committee. Brit, thank you. When we come back, senator chris murphy with what in the world is going on down there on the floor and his thoughts on this convention. But before we head to break, a look at the allimportant seating chart for state delegations. As theyre practicing the speeches up here on the stage, we can give you a layout of the delegations on the floor. A little different than the rnc, in that there are not as many states on the floor. Its a smaller space. But just to give you a sense of the delegates here, the importance over there, illinois, that is the place where Hillary Clinton was born. Here, arkansas, she was the first lady of arkansas. Next spot over, pennsylvania. Thats the home to her father, born in scranton. Then you have virginia, and that is senator kaines home. New york, she was senator of new york, has a home there. Then the state of florida, a swing state she needs to win. Also the home of Debbie Wasserman schultz, who wont be the dnc chair after this week. Special report continues after this. The wolf was huffing and puffing. Like you do sometimes, grandpa . Well, when you have copd, it can be hard to breathe. It can be hard to get air out, which can make it hard to get air in. So i talked to my doctor. She said. Symbicort could help you breathe better, starting within 5 minutes. Symbicort doesnt replace a rescue inhaler for sudden symptoms. Symbicort helps provide significant improvement of your lung function.
