The democrats have nominated a woman to be the 45th president of the United States. Hillary rodham clinton. Odonnell will be her other half the 42nd president of the United States, william yam jefferson clinton. Pelley a night of president s and precedents. In a fractured Democratic Party former clinton opponent called on the delegates to nominate her by acclimation and they did. Some sanders supporters walked out and protested outside the wells fargo center. Gayle king is on the Convention Floor for us tonight. King scott and norah happy tears for Hillary Clinton. A lot of tears. One mandel gat from from South Carolina told me that he went into the ugly cry which means sobbing uncontrollably. The 17yearold girl from tennessee who gets to vote for the first time in november, shell be 18 then, she cant wait to vote for Hillary Clinton. The mother and daughter duo from california who were pulling for two different candidates. Daughter was for bernie, mom was for hillary tonight they united behind Hillary Clinton big time. They are many score rees in this room. One of the ones that stood up for me the most. Is 75yearold woman, she turned 75 last week. She said she knew the date was coming just didnt think that she would be alive to see it. Now she is here. They tell me tonight they have reset the table in american politics. Norah and scott, back to you. Odonnell thank you so much. Senator Elizabeth Warren of massachusetts of the keynote speaker here last night. And moments ago charlie rose talked to her about who role shell play in the clinton administration. Rose when you campaign with Hillary Clinton, she said she loved the fact that you get under his skin. Yep. Rose how is it you do that, is that going to be the role you play in this campaign . Get under the skin of donald trump. Donald trump is a bully. He is a bully. First last hand in between. Only way to deal with bully is stand right up to him. When they punch, punch him right back. Rose do you want to punch him when he says poke hon tucson . Is that it . I talk about donald trump. I dont call him names. Thats not the point. I talk about his policies. I talk about what hes done to people. I talk about what he says about what he wants to do with this country. And all he can do do is he wants to call names. Thats it for donald trump. He is a thinskinned racist bully. And he will never be president of the United States. Odonnell she didnt mince words with you. Going to continue to play this type of a role. Rose she s. She wants to be president of the United States. She is very strong in the new senate because of her growing influence. And that she might if she could do more good accept cabinet positions. Pelley go across the floor visit with John Dickerson. Dickerson scott, weve been talking about the historic first night. Hillary clinton the first woman to be major party nominee. But another first, her husband will be the first president to speak on behalf of his wife. Were told by the campaign chairman, bill clinton took a whack himself, he will be needling and fixing and tweaking that first draft, for that final draft in the seconds before he gets to the stage, also probably go very long, thats also true to form. The party has changed a lot since he was president. But its going to testify to the personal Hillary Clinton. The role reversal not just in gender but also this is first time in history weve got a husband and wife who have been Major Party Nominees hell testify to the personal side, but also since he knows the job, hell be able to make that link between her personal attributes and what is required to be president. Odonnell John Dickerson there. And nancy cordes has been talking to some of the delegates who made history tonight. Nancy. Norah, there were several older women here in the arena, i spoke to never thought they would live to see this moment. That it was so meaningful for them, especially after watching Hillary Clinton get so close eight years ago. Bill clinton likes to talk about the fact shes a change maker on the campaign trail. Hell say anyone can give a good speech. To see those goals through. He will argue tonight that shes got the smarts and relationships to do that as president of the United States. Pelley thank you very. Charlie, what does bill clinton need to do tonight . Rose he needs to tell the Hillary Clinton that he knows. Hes never been inspirational speaker. He can explain things as he did for barack obama, explain who she is and why he believes that shes a good person, trustworthy person and the person who is best qualified more than any other person running for the office as president obama said at this moment in american history. Odonnell there is strategic elements, a lot of his campaign can reach out of the White Working Class voters. Rose he can. The best retail politics in america. He knows how to do that. And he will be the person who will be able to sit and talk how this affects you and how she can make a difference in your life. Pelley John Dickerson, bill clinton used to hold the recorder for the longest acceptance speech for the whole time until last week when he was trumped by donald trump. What do you think will happen tonight . Pelley he was laughing earlier today about another time, he was working on the speech in the car ride over to give, to speak at the 2004 convention. Before clintons even president he gave what was considered one of the most disastrous Convention Speeches in 1988 when Michael Dukakis where the crowd roared approval when he said in conclusion he doesnt want to do that tonight. He wants to, as charlie said, the Hillary Clinton that only he can know. What is interesting is how much the party has changed, nafta which he supported bushed through. A very different party, in a very different place on trade, criminal justice issues also the party much more liberal. How the bill clinton years got video playing now to remind everybody about bill clinton. How much those were part of the democratic world. Pelley thanks very. Bob schieffer, bill clintons Favorability Ratings were higher than his wife. Schieffer the spouse is usually higher than whoever is running for office or is in office. I think the main problem that Hillary Clinton has to overcome, ill be interested to she how bill clinton goes about this, is how does she convince people that she can be trusted. Her unFavorability Ratings are extraordinarily high. Shes got to figure out some way to get by that. If she can do that its pretty level Playing Field out there. Odonnell Michelle Obama said that. I trust Hillary Clinton. That word has come up. Schieffer youre going to hear that again and again. Because they know that this is going go to be the problems, in the polling, 67 said shes untruth worthy, enormous hill to climb. Schieffer also have to convince people that she takes seriously the terrorist threat. Some are a little bit fright ebbed about the solution that you heard donald trump propose. She cannot just dismiss it, because people are worried about their safety. Shes got to convince them that she can make them safe. Odonnell bob, i was up with four women when this convention put her over the top, they were crying, they were holding hands. This is a historic moment. Schieffer it is truly historic. That is the headline. Schieffer there is the former president of the United States, bill clinton. [ cheering and applause ] thank you thank you [ cheering and applause ] in the spring of 1971 i met a girl. The first time i saw her, we were appropriately enough in a class on political and civil rights. She had thick blonde hair, big glasses, wore no make up. And she exuded this sense of sprent and self position that i found magnetic. After the class i followed her intending to introduce myself. I got close enough to touch her back, but i couldnt do it. Somehow i knew this would not be just another tap on the shoulder. And i might be starting something i couldnt stop. I saw her several more times in the next few days, but i still didnt speak to her. Then one night i was in the law library talking to a classmate that wanted me to join the law journal. He said it would guarantee me a job in a big firm or clerkship with a federal judge. I really wasnt interested. I just wanted to go home to arkansas. Then i saw the girl again. Standing at the opposite end of that long room. Finally, she was staring back at me. So i watch her, she closed her book, put it down and started walking toward me. She walked the whole length of the library, came up to me and said, look, if youre going to keep staring at me and now im staring back, we at least ought to know each others name. Im hillary rodham, who are you . [ cheering and applause ] i was so impressed and surprised that whether you believe it or not, momentarily, i was speechless. [ laughter ] finally i sort of blurted out my name and we exchange add few words then she went away. Well, i didnt join the law review. But did i leave that library with a whole new goal enmind. Couple of days later i saw her again. She was wearing a long white flowery skirt. And i went to her, she said she was going to register for classes for the next term. I said id go, too. And we sat in line and talked, you had to do that to register back then. And i thought i was doing pretty well. Then we got to the front of the line and the registrar looked up said, bill, what are you doing here . You registered this morning . [ laughter ] i turned red and she laughed that big laugh of hers. And i thought, well, heck, since my cover has been blown, i just went ahead asked her to take a walk down to the art museum. Wed been walking and talking and laughing together ever since. [ cheering and applause ] weve done it in good times and bad, through joy and heartbreak. We cried together this morning on the news that i had good friend, mark weiner passed away early this morning. We built up a lifetime of memories. After the first month and that first walk, i actually drove her home to park ridge, illinois. To meet her family and see the town where she grew up. A perfect example of post world war ii middle class america. Street after street of nice houses, great schools, good parks, big public swimming pool. And almost all white. I really liked her family. Her crusty conservative father, her rambunctious brothers. All extolling the virtues of rooting for the bears and the cubs. And for the people from illinois here, they even told me what waiting for next year meant. Could be next year, guys. Her mother was different. She was more liberal than the boys. And she had a childhood that made mine look like a piece of cake. She was easy to underestimate with her soft manner, she reminded me all over of the saying, you should never judge a book by its cover. Knowing her was one of the greatest gifts hillary ever gave me. [ applause ] i learned that hillary got her introduction to social justice through her methodist youth minister, don jones. He took her Downtown Chicago to hear Martin Luther king, junior speak. He remained her friend. This is the only campaign she ever missed. When she got to college her support the for civil rights her opposition to the vietnam war compelled her to change parties and become a democrat. [ cheering and applause ] and then between college and law school are total lark she went alone to alaska spent some time fishing. By the time i met her she had been involved in the law Schools Legal Services project and shed been influenced by edelmen she took a summer internship interviewing workers in migrant comes for senator Walter Mondale subcommit tree. Also begun working in the Yale New Haven Hospital to develop procedures to handle suspected child abuse cases. She got so involved in childrens issues that she actually took an extra year in law School Working at the Child Study Center to learn what more could be done to improve the lives and the futures of poor children. She was already determined to figure out how to make things better. Hillary opened my eyes to a whole new world of Public Service by private citizens. In the summer of 1972 she went to alabama, the segregated acadamies that enrolled over half a million white kids in the south. If they claimed federal Tax Exemption to which they were not legally entitled. She got sent to prove they werent. She sauntered into one of these acadamies all by herself pretending to be a housewife that just moved to town needed to find a school for her son. And they exchanged pleasant trees, see said, look, get to the bottom line here f. I enroll my son will he be in segregated school, yes or no. The guy said absolutely she had him. Ive seen it a thousand times since. And she went back and her encounter was part of a report that gave marion edleman the evidence and give our kids access to an equal education. [ cheering and applause ] then she went down to south texas where she met one of the nicest fellas ive ever met the Wonderful Union leader, franklin garcia, he helped her register mexicanamerican voters, i think some are still around to vote for her in 2016. [ cheering and applause ] then in our last year in law school, hillary kept this up work, she went to South Carolina to see why so many Young African american boys, i mean young teenagersness were being jailed for years with adults. In mens prisons. And she filed a report on that which led to some changes, too. Always making things better. Now, meanwhile lets get back to business. I was trying to convince though marry me. I first proposed to her on a trip to great britain. First time shed ever been oversees seas we were on the shoreline of this wonderful little lake, lake enterdale i asked her to marry she she said i cant do it so in 1974 i went home to teach in the law school and hillary moved to massachusetts to keep working on childrens issues. This time trying to figure out why so many kids counted in the census werent enrolled in school. She found one of them sitting alone on her porch in a wheelchair. Much more, she filed a report about these kids and that helped influence ultimately the congress to adopt the proposition that children with disabilities, physical or otherwise, should have equal access to public education. [ cheering and applause ] you saw the result that have last night when anastasstia talked. She never made fun of people with disabilities, she tried to empower them based on their ability. Meanwhile i was still trying to get her to marry me. But the second time i asked i tried a different tact. I said, i really want to you marry me, but you shouldnt do it. She smiled and looked at me like, what is this boy up to . She said that is not a very good sales pitch. I said, i know, built its true. And i meant it. It was true. I said, i know most of the Young Democrats our age. Who want to go into politics, they mean well and they speak well but none of them is as good as you are at actually doing things to make positive changes in peoples lives. So i suggested she go home to illinois or move to new york and look for chance to run for office. She just laughed said, are you out of your mind, nobody would ever vote for me. So i finally got her to come visit me in arkansas. And when she did, the people at the law school were so impressed they offered her a teaching position. And she decided to take a huge chance. She moved to a strange place, more rural, more culturally conservative than any place shed ever been where she knew people would wonder, what in the world she was like and whether they could or should accept her. Didnt take them long to find out what she was like. She loved her teaching and she got frustrated when one of her students said, well, what do you expect im just from arkansas. Dont tell me that, you just got to believe in yourself and work for it and she believed in anybody to make it. She also started the first legal aid clinic in northwest arkansas. Providing Legal Aid Services to poor people who couldnt pay for it. One day i was driving her to the airport to fly back to chicago where we passed this Little Brick House that had a for sale sign on it and she said, boy, thats a pretty house. It had 1100 square feet. An attic fan and no air conditioner in hot arkansas. And screenedin porch. Hillary commented on what uniquely designed and Beautiful House it was. So, i took a big chance. I bought the house. My mortgage was san diego 175 a month. Was 175 a month. When she came back i picked her up i said, remember that house you liked . I said, while you were gone i ball it you have to marry me now. The third timefuls the charm. [ cheering and applause ] we were married in that little house on october 11th, 1975. I married my best friend. Im still in awe after more than 40 years of being around her at how smart and strong and loving and comparing she was. And i really hoped that her choosing me and rejecting my advice to pursue her own career was a decision she would never regret. A little over a year later, we moved to little rock when i became attorney general. And
