Fear. Bigotry. Smears. I just was so saddened by it. President obama is down to his last six months in office and he talked about the race with John Dickerson on todays face the nation. In 2008, a lot of your supporters said, look at the way he ran his campaign, if he runs the presidency like his campaign, hes going to be in good shape. Why isnt that true for donald trump, whos run a pretty remarkable campaign, beating 16 other politicians . In 2008 i dont think they were referring merely to the fact that i had won. We were really well organized. We had a great culture that there was no whiff of scandal to how we approached getting elected. We told the truth. I do think that the body of work of a person matters. And i would say that i genuinely believe theres never been a candidate better prepared for the presidency than Hillary Clinton. Not eisenhower, not George Herbert walker bush . Those are pretty i said more prepared. I didnt say that they were chopped liver. But the skill sets that hillary has are similar to many of the skill sets that they had. She knows her stuff. And more than anything, that is what is ultimately required to do a good job in this office. President obama with John Dickerson. And well be right back from philadelphia. Are affected by mental illness. Together we can help them with three simple words. My name is chris noth and i will listen. This is your skin. This is your skin in the sun. The sun ages your skin and can cause skin cancer. Dont expect Republican Donald Trump to keep quiet during the Democratic Convention. Hes already talking to cbs news and heres major garrett. Reporter with donald trump and allies counterprogramming the Democratic Convention, ted koppel of cbs sunday morning asked trump what he was thinking when he began this campaign. I have a sense that back on june 16th, what donald trump was thinking was, you know something . I might win a primary or two, i might win a caucus or two, but the worst thing thats going to happen is the brand is going to be improved, ill be better known, ill be more famous than i am today, business is going to be you never thought youd be sitting here on this day as the nominee of the Republican Party. I think about it myself, i mean, i think i must have, ted. Because i do like to win. And i believe that if i didnt think i was going to win, i wouldnt have done it. So somewhere deep down in the mind i must have said, im going to win. Reporter trump won the nomination and remains competitive with Hillary Clinton, despite skeletal Campaign Staff and uneven Gop Convention and Prominent Party holdouts. What about the elders, the party elders, who didnt show up . The romneys, the bushes, the kasichs . Look, theyre all people i beat for the most part. I helped mitt romney but i think i talked him out of running in this race. He lost a race he should have won. He should have easily beaten a very, very badly damaged president. And i was very critical of him. Thats why he came out against me. Jeb bush, obviously i beat him very badly. Kasich, i beat him very, very badly. Kasich was beaten so badly. And its hard for people to recover. Reporter trump denied the Gop Convention exaggerated the threat of crime at home or terrorism abroad. I thought it was very optimistic. To me it was an optimistic speech. What makes it optimistic . Because were going to solve the problems. Were going to solve the problems. Reporter trump also denied he views the presidency as an allpowerful tool of government action, though his acceptance speech indicated otherwise. Scott, trump and those close to him refuse to comment on the rampant speculation that recently deposed fox news chairman roger ailes will become a trump adviser or take over the campaign entirely. Major garrett on our philadelphia political team, thank you. With the convention in town, the population of philadelphia is growing by at least 50,000. The citys police force of more than 6,000 officers says its ready for anything. Heres our Homeland Security correspondent jeff pegues. We want a revolution reporter thousands marched in downtown philadelphia this afternoon. They were noisy but peaceful. In 2000, at the last Political Convention here, there were hundreds of arrests. Police say they are prepared if demonstrations get out of hand this week. 35,000 to 50,000 protesters are expected each day. He city has purchased o0 million in insurance to cover potential damage and another 5 million in case any of the citys 6,000 Police Officers is sued. The designated protest zone is four miles from downtown within view of the convention site. Former Philadelphia Police commissioner Charles Ramsey says its the unexpected that keeps commanders up at night. Somethings going to happen thats going to be unexpected. And how well are you going to be able to handle that . How flexible will you be . Reporter in this command center at an undisclosed location, the secret service will monitor whats happening. Special agent in charge james henry. We prepare for a variety of different scenarios. Many, many different types of threats. Anything from a lone gunman, an organized attack, an aircraft that comes into restricted air space. Reporter weve learned that within the last two weeks the s. W. A. T. Teams as well as the countersniper teams have put their Tactical Response plan to the test and they went through several different scenarios, including an attack on a facility, as well as an ambush of a motorcade. Scott, one more concern, independent lone wolf attacks. Jeff pegues covering it, thank you. Another member of the team is anthony salvanto, director of elections. Youve been looking at our polls in battleground states and i wonder did Trumps Convention change the dynamics of the race . He got a small uptick in support. Maybe 2 points across the key swing states. That edges him just ahead of Hillary Clinton. Her support held steady. But whats really telling is where this change came from. Trump drew in a few conservatives who had been undecided before the convention, but virtually no one switched his or her votes from clinton to trump. And that illustrates not just how tight this race is but also how partisan it is. Doesnt look like a Big Convention bounce. What did the voters tell you that they felt as they watched trumps speech on thursday . Republicans saw this very differently from everyone else, scott. They called trumps speech hopeful. They said they felt enthusiastic. But independents and democrats were more likely to call it pessimistic. Democrats said it made them feel scared. So trump rallied his base. But the data show he hasnt reached too far to voters beyond it. And the democrats . Are they happy with tim kaine . Theres indications theyre satisfied, but kaine is largely unknown. That sets up this week as a key chance for him to introduce himself democrats. We also asked about other possible picks clinton might have made, like elizabeth warren. Her name was met with much more enthusiasm, particularly among Bernie Sanders voters. So it looks like Hillary Clinton still has some work to do satisfying those progressive voters if shes going to unify the party at this convention. Anthony salvanto, director of elections, thank you.

In another breaking story tonight, explosive wildfires are burning in the west, including two large fires in california inflamed by tripledigit heat and droughtdried brush. What forecasters call a heat dome is smothering much of the nation and heres mireya villarreal. Reporter fire crews struggle to stop the fastmoving sand fire from gutting over a dozen homes. For three days more than 1,600 firefighters have been battling the blaze in temperatures as high as 110 degrees. That fire came through like a freight train. Reporter l. A. County fire chief john tripp. All the experiences weve seen with fire, thats all out the window. Youve got to look at the four major fires weve had in this county in six weeks. We have seen fires explode all over this county. So that ready, set, go program, its not words, its real. Fire was right here. Gigantic flames. Houses were circled completely. Reporter steve arlen and derek hunt own 650 acres in the affected area. Flames destroyed several structures used in dozens of hollywood films and tv shows like the gambler and nightrider. At some point you know youre defeated and you have to step back. Save what you can. We fought as best we could. Helicopters were dropping, water, everybody was out there doing their best to save it. Reporter like california, much of the nation is dealing with overwhelming heat. From chicago to philadelphia, a sweltering heat wave has temperatures lingering well over 100 degrees. Today Race Organizers in new york altered their course because of the extreme heat. Triathletes found the fastest way to find relief was in the hudson river. Temperatures here in california are a bit cooler than they have been in the last few days. Homeowners were expected to come back home, but an unexpected shift in the wind has picked up the flames you see behind me. That is forcing a lot of officials to make sure those evacuation orders stay in place. Mireya villarreal, thanks. Next, were others involved in the mass shooting in munich .

Questioning a 16yearold friend of the teenager who went on a shooting rampage on friday. He killed nine before taking his own life. Seth doane has been looking into why. Reporter German Police say David Ali Sonboly had been preparing his attack for more than a year. The 18yearold was bullied at school, suffered from depression, and spent two months in a psychiatric hospital. He apparently shot his nine victims at random. Investigator Robert Heimburger told us at this point they have not established a clear motive. You say he was obsessed with mass killings. Was there a turning point when you realized that indeed he was planning one himself . We cannot say if there is an exact point in time, he said. But in 2015 he started conducting research on mass killings. Sonboly visited the site of a 2009 mass shooting where another teenage gunman killed 15 people. Police say he was an avid fan of violent video games. But in real life, he seemed timid. The boy lived just across the street . Yes. Reporter hawken runs a hair salon near where the gunman lived with his family. He was shy, even when i was cutting his hair he wouldnt talk much. He wasnt weird, he was just quiet. The teen purchased his glock handgun illegally online and fired 57 shots, including the one to his head, which killed him. The teenage killer wrote a manifesto that was so long the police have not yet been able to analyze it. It appears he was not motivated by any ideology. Scott, the police told us, simply he was a young, mentally ill man. Seth doane reporting, thank you. Next from philadelphia, will the russians compete in rio . Russia caught a break today when the International Olympic committee stopped short of banning all russian athletes from the rio olympics because of widespread doping. Instead, the organizations that run each sport will make the decision on who can compete. Russias track and field team was previously banned and that remains in effect. Baseballs hall of fame inducted two heavy hitters today. Ken griffey jr. Played 22 seasons with the mariners, reds, and white sox. He hit 630 home runs. That was good for sixth place alltime. Mike piazza hit a record 396 homers as a catcher. Not bad considering that he was picked by the dodgers in the 62nd round of the 1988 draft. Political insight from bob joining us in philadelphia, one of the Founding Fathers of television Convention Coverage, Bob Schieffer. Bob, what does Hillary Clinton have to do here . Well, i think she has to be very careful. Because you know, when donald trump was in cleveland, he really came down hard on terrorism and all that. The people in the hall liked him. But outside the hall, some people were frankly frightened by all of that. And she has to be careful not to totally discount the threat of terrorism. People are worried about terrorism. She cannot discount it entirely just in order to put down him. But the other thing, scott, is the chaos in which this convention is getting under way. I mean, this has been a year of surprises but if you had told me that this convention was going to open in chaos, the Democratic NationalCommittee Chairwoman was going to resign over yet another email scandal, and then the clinton people say theyre hearing from experts this is the fault of russians and that the russians may have been doing this to help donald trump, i mean, this is above my pay grade. I dont know, i just wouldnt have predicted this. Speaking of trump, he hasnt toned anything down. Hes not only not toned it down, hes ratcheted it up. Today when chuck todd asked him would he support a democrat over former ku klux klan leader david duke, whos going to run for the senate, he said, yes, he would support a democrat, but hed want to know who the democrat was. I mean, ive never heard anybody qualify an answer quite like that. And then yesterday bob, thank you very much. Thats the overnight news for this monday. For some of you, the news continues. For others check back for the morning news and cbs this morning. From the site of the Democratic National convention in philadelphia, im scott pelley. This is the cbs overnight news. Welcome to the overnight news. Im meg oliver. The delegates are gathering in philadelphia for tonights opening of the Democratic National convention. Hillary clinton and her running mate tim kaine will get the formal nomination of the Party Faithful to head the democratic ticket in the november election. Before they travel to philadelphia, the running mate sat down with scott pelley for 60 minutes. Madam secretary, did you hear the Republican Convention chanting lock her up . Lock her up, lock her up well, i didnt hear it because i wasnt watching. But i certainly heard about it, yes. Did you feel threatened by that . No, i felt sad. Sad . I felt very sad, scott. I mean, i dont know what their convention was about, other than criticizing me. I seem to be the only unifying theme that they had. There was no positive agenda. It was a very dark, divisive campaign. And the people who were speaking were painting a picture of our country that i did not recognize. Negative, scapegoating, fear, bigotry, smears. I just was so saddened by it. He calls you crooked hillary. What do you call him . I dont call him anything. And im not going to engage in that kind of insultfest he seems to thrive on. So whatever he says about me, hes perfectly free to use up his own air time and his own space to do. Im going to talk about what hes done, how he has hurt people in business, time after time after time. His vicious language against immigrants. His insulting a distinguished federal judge of mexican heritage. His mocking a person with a disability. His really inflammatory language about muslims, about american muslims, about muslims all over the world. His demeaning comments about women. Im going to respond to what he has said that i think is so fundamentally at odds with who we are as a nation, where we need to be heading in the future, and the kind of dangerous, risky leadership that hes promising. Can i say this . I dont want to shes done a good job of letting the water go off her back on this. Thats not the way i feel. When i see this crooked hillary or i see the lock her up, its just ridiculous. It is ridiculous. The republican fbi director makes a decision that theres nothing here that warrants any additional activity no criminal prosecution. So theyre going to say, okay, we dont believe him now. You saw all these folks trying to rehash the tragic deaths of americans in libya, which we should all feel for those families, theyre trying to politicize it. Whats your responsibility for benghazi . Did you make any mistakes around that . Well, scott, there have been i think now nine separate investigations, and they did not find any such culpability. I took responsibility, i was secretary of state. And i tho
