>>> the biggest speechz of the night as donald trump jr. set to address the crowd. i'm bret baier. >> hi, everybody. i'm megyn kelly. we're live at the quicken loans arena in cleveland ohio for the second night of the republican national convention. the path ending with his home state of new york and his own son placing the vote that put him over the top. >> and it is my honor to be able to throw donald trump over the top in the delegate count tonight with 89 delegates and another 6 for john kasich. congratulations, dad. we love you! >> and now we are awaiting comments from the nominee's son, donald trump jr. >> we have fox team coverage. bill hemmer and martha maccallum are both on the floor here in the queue in cleveland. we start with martha, who is right by the trump family. martha. >> all right. thanks, guys. as the music kicks up, i hope you can hear me all right down here. right behind me you have the rest of the trump family, ivanka trump will speak. she'll introduce her father on thursday night. eric trump will speak tomorrow night. he's there with his wife, laura, as wel

states. >> over the top. donald trump officially become the 2016 republican nominee for president. >> and his own son donald trump jr. casting the deciding vote to secure his father's mom nation. >> it's my honor to be able to throw donald trump over the top in the delegate count tonight with 89 delegates. congratulations, dad, we love you! >> good early morning to you. it is wednesday, july 20. you're watching fox and friends first. i'm abby huntsman. >> and i'm heather childers. the stage is set for another big night, the theme make america first again. >> just hours ago, governor chris christie was rallying some fired up trump supporters in that very same arena. but arguably the real star of the night would be donald trump jr. praising his father as the only choice for president. >> whether it's teaching his granddaughter how to swing a golf club or tackling the toughest gonegotiations, he's always fully committed. that's why the person who would never run for office before stood on the stage 11 months ago in this very arena with 16 professional politicians and this this week that same man will stand before you as our par

-one with donald trump jr. before he takes this stage behind me. and how does he explain that speech from melania trump? tonight, right here, the two speeches, side-by-side. melania trump and michelle obama. the new reaction. we are behind the scenes with donald trump jr. we ask him, will anyone be fired? who wrote the speech? and does michelle obama deserve an apology? what he's saying tonight. >>> also breaking, another major crane collapse in the northeast. coming down with drivers in their cars. and it comes after that crane collapse in manhattan. >>> the deadly bus takedown. the suspect jumping onto a city bus, ordering the driver not to stop. the moment he tries to grab an officer's gun. >>> and breaking news as we come on the air tonight. amid reports fox news anchor megyn kelly has now been asked if she was sexually harassed by her boss, the statement from fox news. >>> good evening from cleveland tonight. as we come on the air in the west, these words right over my shoulder say it all. over the top. donald trump has just reached the delegate count he needed on the floor, off

now. tonight, donald trump has become the republican nominee for the united states. he has rolled over more than a dozen republican candidates and here is that piece of history. put over the top by his son, don jr. >> it is my honor to be able to throw donald trump over the top in the delegate count tonight with 89 delegates. and another 6 for john kasich. congratulations, dad, we love you! >> then just about an hour ago, donald trump spoke to this convention for the second time in two nights. and bracing that moment. >> today has been a very, very special day, watching my children put me over the top earlier. what we did getting the party's nominee. i will never forget it. it is something i will never, ever forget. a little over one year ago, i announced my candidacy for president. and with your vote today, this stage of the presidential process has come to a close. we're going to bring back our jobs. we're going to rebuild our depleted military and take care of our great veterans. we're going to have strong borders. we're going to get rid of isis and we're going to restore law and order we have to restore, and quickly. law and order, among many, so many things. i will be discussing that. thursday ni

plagiarism allegations blaming hillary clinton and david muir goes one-on-one with donald trump jr. as questions surface over his own speech. >>> severe storms over washington, d.c. cars are flooded. large hail and see where the dangerous heat is headed today. >>> caught on camera a group of people flipping over a car rescuing a trapped driver. >>> good morning, everyone. wednesday morning donald trump one step closer to the white house officially, of course, winning the republican nomination for president. >> as the gop convention heads into day three another one of his children takes the stage after his sister and brother had glowing words about him last night. he had another unorthodox appearance popping up on the jumbotron to thank delegates. >> this as allegations of plagiarism continue to plague the campaign. stephanie ramos has the latest from cleveland. stephanie, good morning. >> reporter: kendis and diane, good morning. so one person, you can count on being here every night this week, is donald trump. making his appearance last night via satellite from new york on the night h

paul ryan, and from the candidate's son, donald trump jr., laying out the case for his father and blasting hillary clinton on the night after his stepmother, melania trump's, very controversial speech. we have got a lot to talk about tonight. so i want to get right now to may political dream team. that's who i'm talking about here. an andy dine is here. david chalian is here, kayleigh mcelnany. amanda carpenter. did i miss anybody else? i got everybody. all right, andy, who do you think was the big boss tonight? who had the best speech? >> i think donald trump jr. by far knocked it out of the park. just the star. there was one moment i did like when ben carson said that hillary clinton has ha connection to lucifer. i enjoyed that. >> that was a little odd. people were texting me going, what -- >> because there was a connection, like a kevin bacon game, that saying lucifer is the ultimate radical. therefore, by the transit, there may be a connection. >> i'm not sure i follow. but it spoke to andy. >> it spoke to andy dean demographic. >> have you been drinking already? >> not yet.

projects. that's how he approaches life. >> that was donald trump, jr., along with tiffany trump, both kids talking about their father, how did they do last night. we are back with our panel right now. josh rogan, let me start with you, donald trump, jr., there, he delivered a tough speech, a difficult speech to deliver, covered a lot of ground there and he looked very, very comfortable up there. >> not only with the delivery, he had a lot of policy in his speech, more policy than most of the senators and congressmen that have spoken over the course of the week. he gave a compelling argument about why dodd-frank was a boondoggle for billionaires, set aside the fact that that actually helps the trump family for a second, he's actually in the weeds of what's going on with all these various issues, so i thought that's what people actually would like to see more of. they want to see the strong, tough anti-hillary pro-trump message, but they also want people to tell them what trump is for, what his actual ideas are. i think this convention has been void of a lot of those specifics and donald tru

donald trump, jr. was talking about the schools. i just came out of school, and i went through the school system. i understand what he was talking about. all of these kids are told if you go to college, you're set, they're going to hand you a job and everything. they don't tell you that you have to make a name for yourself. everybody thinks it's going to be handed to them. because these schools have an underlying agenda of just get these kids to school so we can get our money. >> what do you say to people on the fence? right now, the people who are going to vote for him are the people that are going to vote for him. but he needs to add people to win this election. what do you say to people who may be independent or struggling or on the fence? >> i would say stop for a moment, stop thinking about the emotional side and about all the political games the media may or may not be doing. go to their websites, look at your morals, what you want to get done. find out what your agenda is, find out their agenda, and find out who matches closely. and for us, it is donald trump. >> donald j. t

. >> that was donald trump jr., we heard from tiffany trump talking about her father. donald trump jr. covered a lot of ground personal and policy as well. let's start with john phillips. let's start with you and play a little more sound when he talked about and we hadn't heard a lot about this up until the convention, he talked about his father's agenda. let's listen. >> we're going to elect a president that will work with everyone to pass legislation that will make our country great again. our president that will give us a tax code that will free the american economy and end special loopholes for the wealthy. a president that will give us an immigration law that will protect the american citizen and gives them jobs. a president that will repeal and replace obama care without leaving our citizens and will do it without destroying medicare as hillary clinton has proposed. as president, we simply can't delete our problems but we have to tackle them head on. >> i think that was an e-mail joke there at the end there. before that, what you heard was a republican agenda. and donald trump jr. is a m

trump a night with melania trump last night. don jr. and tiffany trump tonight. >> yes, and donald trump jr. will be joining us during the hour. i assume if we hit the magic number 1237 he will be joining us, tiffany we don't know. very little is known about tiffany. she is not very public. >> we are seeing the family there. ivanka, eric, don jr. and they are standing by new york there. >> bret, earlier, total will be announced by his son when new york passed earlier, i don't know -- i'm sure you recognized man who did it ed cox who is richard nixon's son-in-law. a bit of trivia here. >> there you go. have you covered a few of these, haven't you, brit? >> just a few. >> we have had an interesting time because we thought there might be some effort by virginia, utah, something, never developed. and for this convention, that is the unity message that they are trying to get through. >> i talked to senator mike lee today, ran into him and he was leading the floor chaos. he said they don't have a candidate. it's hard to created any more problems because they don't even from a candidate to push. >> and

had over the last maybe two hours or so. it was tiffany trump's speech and donald trump jr.'s speech. that is what a lot of folks are buzzing about right now, still talking about. the idea that as you look at kind of the signs that are left here, the seats beginning to empty out, the idea that these kids made their father more relatable. that was a word i heard more than once. and the message i heard from people more than once was also aspirational, the idea that they're helping to show people that the trumps can be, in one delegate's words that i spoke with, a normal family. i spoke with another man who said, hey, who better than a son to talk about what his father means? and i think one interesting note about melania trump's speech last night in addition to obviously the accusations of plagiarism, the striking similarities in the passages to michelle obama's speech of 2008, there weren't very many personal stories in melania's speech. there were in tiffany's speech and the delegates liked that humanizing, story-telling from the trump family. chris christie's speech, as we lo

votes for donald trump, proud that he won 61 of our 62 counties and more than 60% of the vote, and we are proud that we have as one of our delegates donald j. trump, jr.! [ cheers and applause ] >> thank you very much, ed. thank you to my family, eric, ivanka, vanessa, laura, tiffany, all of you here earn, all of our supporters in the great state of new york, even in the places that aren't so conservative, we've had such incredible support, you won't believe it. we'll put new york into play this time around. >> i have the incredible honor of not only being a part of the ride that's been this election process and to watch as a small fly on the wall what my father has done in creating this movement because it's not a campaign anymore, it's a movement. speaking to real americans and giving them a voice again and it is my honor to be able to throw donald trump over the top in the delegate count tonight with 89 delegates and another six for john kasich. congratulations, dad! we love you! [ cheers and applause ] >> it's official now. it's official now. donald trump is the republican presidential nominee. no longer the presumptive nominee. it's official, he is the rep

now donald trump, jr. is walking out, about to miss remarks for the evening. >> good evening, i'm donald trump, jr. [ cheers and applause ] thank you. thank you. i'm the father of five young children from 2-year-old chloe to ky who just turned 9, husband to vanessa, amazing wife and mother, and son of a great man. i'm an american, and tonight, i want to talk to you about the country we live in. the country our children will grow up in. for my generation, this is the most important election of our lifetime. one that will determine the future of our country, and in turn, the future of the world. for too long, the world ignored problems, punting them down the road for future generations to deal with. in business, i was trained by my father to make tough investments in business today to ensure a brighter future tomorrow. we've actually started to believe that solving our great problems is an impossible task. that's why we need to elect a man with a track record of accomplishing the impossible. [ applause ] for the first time, parents no longer think their kids will be as well off as w

republican party's candidate for president. the new york delegation led by his son, donald trump, jr., putting himself over the top, and trump, himself made an appearance by video at the convention for the second night in a row. all of it coming on what should have been a crowded moment for the now official gop nominee, but marred by controversy swirling around him, and we'll hear from two of donald trump's children headliners tonight, and here on the panel is chuck todd, savannah guthrie and nicole who thought we'd be here? >> i don't think anyone. >> indiana primary, i fully believed this moment was going to happen. >> it has happened, and as we said, 17, we started with 17. talk about the tone we've seen tonight already. yesterday, it was make america safe again. tonight was make america work again. but we heard, seems to me, savannah, more about hillary clinton than we heard about the economy. >> you look through the speeches that were given tonight, it was far more about a prosecution of hillary clinton than it was a building up of donald trump, and i used that word "prosecution" advisedl

not heard that from anybody. >> we heard donald trump, the man, from tiffany trump. and momentarily we'll hear from donald trump, jr., presumably we'll get more of that. we don't expect from either of those speeches that what we'll get. >> let's go to hewitt. does it feel more like the heart of the order to you. >> big turn around, brian. 40 days ago the cavaliers were down 3-1 and they executed a historic turn around. i thought when the general got up there and started talking, he began the end of a very bad 20 hours for the trump campaign and through speaker ryan and leader mcconnell, but especially with chris christie, i have to disagree. i think it's communicating a reaction to hillary clinton's the two laws, the rules that apply to the clintons and the rule this is that apply to everybody else. they mean, come on, one set of rules for everyone, very effective turn around executed by the republicans tonight. i think that moe tementum will up next hour. >> criticism from trump. for mcconnell his praise of hillary clinton. >> of course, you're always going to have a mixed record with the republicans speaker led ryan republica

throw donald trump over the top tonight with 89 delegates. congratulations, dad, we love you! martha: what a moment for that family to find themselves in that position. that's vanessa, donald trump, jr.'s wife. the family is described as normal and they have been taught to get the job done. >> when people tell him he can't get something done, that guarantees he will get it done. when someone tells him it's impossible, that triggers him into action. he spent his career on construction sites and valued their opinions more than the guys harvard and wharton. we learned in the doctorate of the common sense. that's why we are as comfortable in caterpillars than our own cars. my father taught us the dignity of hard work from a young age. he knows hard work is the key to the their can dream where we can get ahead and everyone can prosper together. bill: chris stirewalt and steven hayes. let's go at it. we are halfway home. how are they doing? >> better. that was a good speech on his part, and also donald trump's family -- it's weird in the sense to see the family that's front and center. but it's also his best attribute. he rightly understood people who were sceptical of him, the idea of a bad

tonight, choosing political novice donald trump as their candidate for president. also tonight, donald trump, jr., says this about his stepmom, accused of stealing lines from michelle obama. >> if you work hard for what you want in life... >> she did a phenomenal job. >> pelley: we talk to voters in a state that could decide which way the election swings. show of hands, how many of you are undecided. one, two, three, four undecided. we'll look at the effort to ban russia's entire summer olympic team. and he used their song, and queen are not amused. this is the "cbs evening news" with scott pelley. reporting tonight from the republican national convention in cleveland, ohio. >> pelley: donald trump's name has just been placed in nomination, and now the state-by-state roll call is under way. when he reaches 1,237 delegate votes, he will be declared the republican candidate for president. but what should have been a day of anticipation has turned into a day of recrimination over melania trump's spiewsm last night. her address to this conservative gathering borrowed liberally from michelle obama's 2008 de

they win over new new voters? donald trump jr. joins me live. >>> plus the best political minds will be here live in philadelphia with insights from the campaign trail. >>> hello, i'm jake tapper at the democratic convention in beautiful philadelphia where the state of our union is exposed e-mails just published by wikileaks showing democratic party officials actively discussing possible ways to sabotage bernie sanders even as they were insisting publicly that they were staying neutral during the primaries. the leaked e-mails are dividing

the republican party's biggest stars after donald trump officially won the nomination. lee carter put last night's political speeches to the dial test. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> first sound bite america is going to analyze, donald trump jr. talking about hillary clinton could not pass the test. >> if hillary clinton were to be elected she'd be the first president who could not pass a basic background check. it's incredible. hillary clinton is a risk americans can't afford to take. she says she'll issue executive orders to take away america's guns. she wants to appoint judges who will abolish the second amendment. just look at how effective those laws have been in inner city chicago. >> the republicans loved it but democrats hated that. >> they were on the floor. you couldn't even see them there. republicans loved donald trump jr., he had such a bang up night. republicans gave him a b plus because not everybody loves an attack but they did agree with it. independents giving c plus and democrats giving an f. the thing everybody was so impressed with him. he was beyond the child of a politician giving a speech. he was talking policy. he was -- people were like let's get this guy on the campaign trail. >> what a family. meanwhile, c

. in just a few minutes, we will hear from donald trump jr. right now, let's bring in cnn's jason carroll. he was at that event where ted cruz double-mega triple-downed on his nonendorsement, as john said. what was it like being in that room? >> a servile puppy dog. that is not something a lot people expected to hear this morning. it was really extraordinary to hear ted cruz speak to the texas delegation at this breakfast. once again, he said he was not going to turn tail and run. he said it would have been easy to do that. it would have been easy not to face the people. but he wanted to come down here, explain himself a little more about his speech last night and what he had to say and it was incredible. he opened it up for questions. allowed anyone who stood in the room, any part of the delegation, to ask whatever they wanted. everyone wanted to know the same thing. why not just simply say the words, i endorse donald trump? why not put the party ahead of any personal feelings? >> well, once again, he double, triple downed and said this is about something bigger, it's about princ
