talk about. barn burners for senators and a speech from first lady michelle obama that absolutely rocked the house. the big moment, though, was bernie sanders, vowing to do everything he can to make hillary clinton president as the 42nd president, bill clinton, watches. here with me now, my political dream team, except for one. you'll have to figure out who that is. mark press tony, peter bienheart, bakari and peter sellers. who do you think it is except for one? >> mark presston. >> angela already throwing pins at people. so last week poring over melania trump's speech tonight. but then tonight, it was the first lady of the united states. she really rocked the house. look at this. >> i wake up every morning in a house that was built by slaves. and -- and i watch my daughters, two beautiful, intelligent, black, young women playing with their dogs on the white house lawn. and because of hillary clinton, my daughters and all our sons and daughters now take for granted that a woman can be president of the united states. so look -- [ applause ]. so don't let anyone ever tell you that

day one? first lady michelle obama is getting the best response from last night. pounding on the notion of who her daughters will look up to as president. >> and clinton's one-time rival bernie sanders appealing to his supporters to back hillary clinton declaring she must be our next president. all of this as a dramatic day of turmoil outside and inside the convention hall came to a close. we have all of this covered. let's start with manu raju. inside the convention hall. break it down for us, manu. >> reporter: at 3:00 p.m. yesterday, the sanders campaign reached out to the clinton campaign worried their supporters may disrupt the proceedings here in the convention hall. they discussed tactics and strategy and started to quell the protests. it didn't quite work. people were shouted down. protests and chants. all temporarily stopped when michelle obama took the stage. >> don't let anyone ever tell you that this country isn't great. >> reporter: michelle obama bringing down the house on night one of the convention. >> this is the greatest country. >> reporter: the first lady lead

was michelle obama with the most important speech not because of content, but because it was a tipping point for the first day of the convention. there had been a raucous scene and delegation breakfast and protest outside. inside the arena are boos and chants and screaming leading up to michelle obama. she had the biggest speech of the night. "the new york daily news" moved away from the raucous protest and went with michelle obama. the clinton campaign fully plan to fully deploy the first lady as a surrogate proving her worth last night. there were not just big speakers last night, but a pair of big names tonight. michael bloomberg and the independent has decided to endorse clinton, but speak at the convention. then bill clinton. former president of the united states. he will also be speaking tonight. keep an eye on the simmering tensions below the surface. moved aside for the time being, but they still exist. guys. >> they are still there. the michelle obama speech silenced critics. thank you, phil. let's discuss with our team. josh rogin is here. columnist for the washington post. t

overshadowed by disgruntled bernie sanders supporters, but it ended with a stirring speech by michelle obama that some are already placing in their convention halls of fame, and then there was bernie sanders himself. joining us now, cnn's phil mattingly, phil, looked like a roller coaster of political emotion. >> yeah, no question about it, john, if you think just about 24 hours ago, nobody thought that the democrats were going to actually embrace the unity that they planned on the theme of the day actually being, but the clinton campaign choreographed the evening very closely and speaker after speaker, democratic star after democratic star, praising their nominee. take a listen. >> what i admire most about hillary is that she never buckles under pressure. she -- she never takes the easy way out. and hillary clinton has never quit on anything in her life. i'm with her. >> together, with hillary clinton as our president, america, we will rise. god bless america! let us rise together. >> a woman who fights for children, for women, for health care, for human rights, a woman who fights for all of us.

>>> michelle obama makes a speak that rocks the house in philadelphia. and bernie sanders vows to do everything he can to make hillary clinton president. it's after hours here at the democratic convention. we're live at the cnn grill. the first lady brings the convention to its feet in a night that starts with a display of democrats divided ends with bernie sanders laying the case, laying out the case for his former foe, hillary clinton. but did he convince the voters? back with me is my political dream team. they are all here with me. and a bald guy playing don lemon. this is me. i used to live in philly. i went to my old barber, i said what do you want? i said do it the way we used to do in philly in the summer. i was a lot younger then. >> now i know why you left the city. >> thank you, ken. go see him, he's on tenth street and locust. what a difference a day makes. last night we were talking about debbie wasserman schultz. now we're talking about the first lady of the united states and her impact. >> when she didn't win the nomination eight years ago, she didn't get angry or d

michelle obama's speech at the 2008 democratic convention. how big a deal will this be? >> trump's campaign releasing a statement not providing much insight into how this happened, but we have this angle covered from every side. let's begin live inside the quicken loans arena. good morning, phil. >> reporter: good morning. it was the premier event of the premiere night of donald trump, melania trump, in primetime, expected to paint a picture of a husband that's come passionate, deeply personal side of donald trump. instead, trump campaign officials were scrambling and are now facing a growing headache. the similarities are startling. >> you work hard for what you want in life. >> you work hard for what you want in life. >> that your word is your bond, that you do what you say you're going to do. >> that your word is your bond and you do what you say and keep your promise. >> melania trump's big moment on the national stage overshadowed by an unexpected moment, trump delivering a speech with plajerized passages of michelle obama's speech from the 2008 democratic national convention.

charges of plagiarizism. several segments lifted from the speech from michelle obama's 2008 speech. listen. >> my parents impressed on me the values that you work hard for what you want in life. that your word is your bond and you do what you say and keep your promise. >> barack and i were raised with so many of the same values like you work hard for what you want in life. that your word is your bond. that you do what you say you are going to do. >> that you treat people with respect. they taught and showed me values and morals in their daily life. that is a lesson that i continue to pass along to our son and we need to pass those lessons on to the many generations to follow. >> that you treat people with dignity and respect even if you don't know them and even if you don't agree with them. >> because -- because we want our children in this nation to know that the only limit to your achievements is the strength of your dreams and your willingness to work for them. >> and barack and i set out to build lives guided by these values and pass them on to the next generation because we wa

than himself. >> michelle obama's speech was for many people here on the floor the highlight. >> it was a beautiful speech. she's an elegant, beautiful, wonderful woman. >> don't know if we'll be hearing it at a republican convention sometime down the road, but i felt that it was informed or inspired and you know that during the '08 campaign, there was no [ inaudible ]. i think it was really informed by the birther movement and when she talked about her children -- [ inaudible ]. >> that was powerful. she spoke very powerfully about the birther stuff. and that was sort of trump's introduction to the republican party, wasn't it? i mean, that was like -- that was his entree in. i don't think you were born in the united states. and remember all the stuff that i sent people to hawaii and they found a lot of stuff? and he didn't send anybody there and they found nothing. i mean, he is, you know, a liar all the time. you know, he saw thousands of muslims cheering when the world trade center -- that didn't happen. >> reporter: facts don't seem to matter in this campaign. [ inaudible ]. >> i th

says these accusations are simply absurd. >> who takes the fall for cribbing michelle obama's speech in 2008? who's fault is that? >> well, there's no cribbing of michelle obama's speech. these were common words and values, that she cares about her family, that things like that -- she was speaking in front of 35 million people last night. she knew that. to think that she would be cribbing michelle obama's words is crazy. it's -- i mean, this is once again an example of when a woman threatened hillary clinton, how she seeks out to demean her and take her down. it's not going to work. >> all i'm saying is the language is strikingly similar. i'm not making a big deal of it. i know everybody's talking about it this morning, but i don't think it's an allegation. it's not some suggestion without proof. i think it happened. i don't understand why the campaign doesn't just own it and say, people borrow phrases, that's what happened and move on. that's what ironically obama did in 2008 when clinton said he cribbed. he said, yeah, you're right, i did it. >> no. he did do it. that is correct. b

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, officially clinching the republican nomination. and tonight, donald trump jr. will take center stage in primetime, on this stage right here behind me, telling me this afternoon, he hopes to share the more human side of his father. last night, it was melania trump who was here, the crowd loved what t

of honor, but it is michelle obama, who stole the show. the first lady sending a surge of electricity through day one, pumping up the party faithful and painting a contrast between hope and hate. she never mentioned donald trump by name, but everybody knew who she meant. >> when someone is cruel or acts like a bully, you don't stoop to their level. no, our motto is when they go low, we go high. >> democrats hope mrs. obama's call for unity, as sanders called on them to accept defeat and rally by hiehind clinton. >> based on her ideas and leadership, hillary clinton must become the next president of the united states. >> day two, now just hours away on tap, the former president bill clinton, delivering the headline speech, after they officially make his wife the nominee of a major party. can he feel the momentum of a boisterous opening night. we're covering all the angles and our experts. let's begin with political reporter, manu raju. good morning, manu. >> reporter: good morning, carol. party officials were very concerned about the convention yesterday, and sanders suppor

incapable of that. he has no interest in anything, i think other than himself. >> michelle obama's speech was for many people here on the floor, the highlight. into it was a beautiful speech. she is an elegant, beautiful, woman. >> don't know if you will hear that from the republican side. i thought during the campaign -- i think it was really important by the birther movement, she talked about her children. >> i mean -- that was powerful. i mean she spoke very powerfully about the birther stuff. and that was sort of trump's introduction to the republican party, wasn't it? i mean, that was like -- i mean, that was his entree in. saying you were born in the united states. and he said a lot of stuff. he didn't send anybody there and they found nothing. he is a liar, all the time. you know, he saw thousands of muslims cheering when the world trade center -- that didn't happen. >> what still matters -- >> i think they still matter. at the end of the day they will still matter. you know what, i would challenge you, all of you, to make them matter. so repeat them when there are lies. i would sa

community could michelle obama wowed the opening night of the democratic national convention with a speech that earned praise and admiration from all. michelle obama: don't let anyone , that somehow we need to make it great again, because this right now is the greatest country on earth. karen: her close to 70% approval rating is totally opposite from her first appearance on the national stage eight years ago, when some characterized -- some media characterized her as an angry black woman. joining us is joyce ferriabough-bolling of the congress, and the first african-american president of the boston club, one of the largest communities of women executives and professional leaders in the northeast. choose the senior vice president and cfo of the partnership. welcome to the program. i would like to get your impression on first lady michelle obama's speech what were you thinking when she bourque my love her entr?e into it where you had all the young people from their heart saying how much they loved her as a person -- among, person who love health. it was produced by j.j. abrams, who di

united acclamation. there were powerful speeches from michelle obama. bernie sanders and elizabeth warren yesterday and followed today by bill clinton, madeleine albright and former u.s. attorney general eric holder. bob schieffer joins me, former host of "face the nation," and his successor john dickerson. i should say we're taping this before bill clinton's speech this evening, high ants paying here. we can talk about bill clinton as well. you have been here several days. tell me in a sense what is worth noting in this sosks so far. we've seen bernie sanders, elizabeth warren, michelle obama, conflict in terms of the bernie sanders delegates all the way up till today and maybe continuing outside this arena now. >> to start, this was supposed to be this grand show of unity and happiness and we're all coming together here, to contrast what happened in cleveland and kind of that dark view of america that came out of that convention. then all of a sudden, out of the blue, what nobody was anticipating, this email mess cropped up at the democratic national committee. before the end of

, belonged to bernie sanders and michelle obama. the first lady delivering a stirring speech that's getting a lot of attention this morning. she praised hillary clinton and criticized donald trump without ever actually mentioning his name. >> you could say 24 hours made a big difference. remember what we were talking about yesterday, seemed like holy cow, wiki leaks, a turmoil outside and inside the convention hall. what about now? we've got all the angles covered for you. let's begin wiinside the convention hall. >> good morning, chris. yesterday afternoon the sanders campaign was very worried that some of the supporters would disrupt the proceeding. they tried to figure out a unified strategy to prevent the protests from going viral here on the convention floor. they discussed tactics and strategy to combat those protests. it didn't really work. we saw speaker after speaker booed, shouted down, chants. but it all temporary stopped when michelle obama took the stage. >> don't let anyone ever tell you that this country isn't great. >> reporter: michelle obama bringing down the house

more trouble on the floor tonight. and as we wait to hear from michelle obama, i want to bring in donna brazile right now. you see bernie sanders, he is going to speak tonight. you have stepped away from your role as our contributor. you are going to be the chair of the democratic national committee. i know you have been in talks all day long with the clinton team, with bernie sanders, with party officials. are you going to be able to get the protesters under control? >> they are passionate. they are delegates. they are protesting the fact that they don't believe that the party platform, which is the most progressive ever in the democratic party, does not go far enough with the tpp, the trade agreement, but at the end of the day, george, the values that hold democrats together, the vision that democrats are inspired behind, i think that will bring the party together over the next couple days. >> they are still mad over the e-mails, as well, which showed a lot of insults to the bernie sanders people. i know you have apologized. but we heard a lot of rumblings as well. are you now c

. we have to talk about that. we will take a short break. coming up, michelle obama, senator warren and bernie sanders. we'll be right back. >>> and coming up, eva longoria will introduce senator cory booker. we will also have first lady michelle obama, senator warren and bernie sanders. we have to talk about sarah silverman saying point-blank to the bernie or bust people you're being ridiculous. van, what do you think? >> that would be awkward. that would go in the awkward.com moment. here's what's happening. this is a real convention. you have two or three times as many people as the republican convention, people are trying to come together but it's not easy. part of what we are having to deal with is there were earlier opportunities to try to fight for unity, frankly, on both sides and people didn't do it. so now all the hard work ends here. if you didn't have paul simon come out there and sing "like a bridge" -- >> i think it was all calculated. she wanted to create troubled water so he came out, he could build the bridge. >> i thought it was a bridge too far. >> let's listen in. >>

now by chris. michelle obama stole the show. some say it's one of the best speeches she has ever delivered and maybe one of the best we have seen. i want to see a minute at me. thank you. >> when you have the military in your command you can't make snap decisions. you can't have a thin skin or tendency to lash out. you need to be steady and measured and well informed. i wake up every morning in a house that was built by slaves. and i watch my daughters, two beautiful, intelligent, black, young women playing with their dogs on the white house lawn. >> and because of hillary clinton my daughters and all our sons daughter take for granted that a woman can be president of the united states. >> powerful and personal and positive and a contrast. >> such contract with what she believes we saw. it made so many -- think about her talking about a black family in the white house, her daughters on the lawn. i have seen the dogs out on the lawn at the white house. and the ad the clinton campaign has out where children are watching videos of donald trump and her making the point that our child

embarrassment. parts of melania trump's tribute to her husband were plagiarized from michelle obama. one strategist consulted by trump campaign says the campaign is in total melt down. whatever your politics, give the trump children credit, whatever their private frustrations at this moment, on day two they were critical performers as the perform saw a convention reboot. >> he draws out the talent and drive in people, so that they can achieve their full potential. >> i've seen it time and time again, that look in his eyes when someone says it can't be done. i saw that look a little over a year ago when he was told he couldn't possibly succeed in politics. yes, he did. for my father, impossible point. that's how he approached life. >> with us to share the reporting and insight as we turn to day three, mary catherine hamm jonathan martin and cnn's mj lee. there is so much happening in cleveland we forget to pause and frame the big picture. maybe you consider it a hostile takeover. maybe you think it's an over do outsider revolt. maybe you're a loyal democrat and you think it's a stranger f

the first lady, michelle obama, as well as senators elizabeth warren. she is the one a lot of people wanted as the vice presidential nominee on this ticket, didn't get it. and of course bernie sanders. earlier today, tensions clearly visible here as crowds began booing ousted dnc chairwoman debbie wasserman schultz as she addressed her own folks from florida, the delegates from florida this morning. >> excuse me. excuse me. [ crowd chanting ] i'm going to be respectful of you, and i want you to be respectful of me. >> that was marcia fudge, who is chairing this convention, also dealing with the naysayers in the crowd. >> as the convention got under way, more boos this time inside the arena as congresswoman fudge filling in as the convention chair, addressing the crowd. and then -- >> the honor of gaveling in the convention today belonged, since debbie wasserman schultz, as we say in tv land, it belonged to baltimore mayor stephanie rawlings-blake, who has become a controversial figure given the way she handled the protest. except she forgot to do the gaveling. does it even sta

response to first lady michelle obama's speech at the dnc monday night. mrs. obama: i wake up every morning in a house that was built by slaves. daughter's, two beautiful intelliligent black young women, playing with their dog on the white house lawn. amy: that was michelle obama. this was bill o'reilly's response. >> slaves that worked there were well fed andnd had decent lodgig provided by the government am a witch stopped hiring a slave deny in 1802, , but the feds for bit subcontractors from usining slave labor. so michelle obama is essentially correct in saying slaves were builders of the white house, but therere were others working, as well. amy: the comments sparked widespread outrage and were e sn as a a defense o of slavery.y. but on wednesday, o'reilly claimed the statements were "just a fact." actually, primary sources contradict his claims. in a letter from november 28, 1800, first lady abigail adams described enslaved africans forced to labor on the white house's construction as being "half fed and destitute of clothing." turkey's government has dismissed nearly 1,700 m

speech are strikingly similar to michelle obama's speech eight years ago. the campaign released a statement saying she worked on the speech with a team of writers, but the statement does not deny that portions of the speech were lifted from obama's? >> she followed a parade of speakers who blasted hillary clinton and praised trump as the strong leader the united states needs. we have more now from cleveland. >> reporter: a theatrical entrance for donald trump, walking out in silhouette to the tune of "we are the champions". >> we're going to win big. thank you very much. >> reporter: trump introducing his wife, melania. >> the next first lady of the united states. >> reporter: she took the stage and essentially introduced herself to america. >> i was born in a small, beautiful and then communist country in central europe. >> reporter: ironically, given the contentious role of immigration, she told a classic immigration story. >> from a young age, my parents impressed on me the values that you work hard for what you want in life. that your word is your bond and you do what you say

. >>> plus first lady michelle obama, elizabeth warren, a jam-packed opening night from the city of brotherly love. our special coverage starts right now. >>> a very good evening, everyone. after a wild week in cleveland, a chaotic start here in philadelphia. anger erupting in a chorus of boos fueled in part by a hacking scandal that brought down the head of the democratic party. leaked e-mails appearing to show the dnc favoring hillary clinton. tonight bernie sanders is trying to prevent disruptions as he is about to take the stage here. sanders messaging delegates late today, i would ask you as a personal courtesy to me to not engage in any kind of protest or demonstration on the convention floor. michelle obama is set to speak in moments, but first along with chuck todd, savannah guthrie and tom brokaw, we're joined by jane sanders. >> good to be here. >> anyone who watched your husband being booed by supporters and watch his supporters boo on this convention floor has to wonder if the revolution has gotten out of hand. does he have control over his supporters? >> i don't think w

from michelle obama's speech back in 2008. rnc reince priebus said this morning he'd probably fire the speech writer responsible. prior to the speech melania trump said she wrote the speech with a little help. >> the trump campaign is denying that melania trump stole michelle obama's words. judge for yourself. >> barack and i were raised with so many of the same values. >> from a young age, my parents impressed upon me the values. >> you work hard for what you want in life. >> that you work hard for what you want in life. >> that your word is your bond, that you do what you say you're going to do. >> that your word is your bond and you do what you say and keep your promise. >> that you treat people with dignity and respect even if you don't know them and even if you don't agree with them. >> that you treat people with respect. >> barack and i set out to build lives guided by these values and to pass them on to the next generation. >> and we need to pass those lessons on to the many generations to follow. >> because we want our children and all children in this nation to know -- >> beca

to elizabeth warren, michelle obama, bernie sanders, has that gone away for you? >> first of all, let me just say i was pissed off not at hillary clinton or tim kaine or bernie sanders. i was pissed off that drulebbie wasserman schultz had not done the right thing. how many changes in the script yesterday is. at first very messy, very much like democrats are, and then it came together with michelle obama, cory booker and bernie sanders knocking it out of the park last night. as a sanders supporter, i'm with the program, dan is right. i'd say 9.5 out of 10 bernie sanders people are with the program. the revenues is not over. the revenues has just begun. that was bernie sanders' message. the first step of the revolution is to make sure donald trump never becomes president. >> bill press, pleasantly unpissed. with a smile, i don't know what i'm doing here. let's talk about michelle obama. bill brought it up. i'm kidding you. michelle obama, one of her most memorable lines last night, everyone has heard it. i want to play it again for our viewers when she talked about waking up every

millions of people were virtually identical to what michelle obama said in her speech in denver some eight years ago. and politicos are asking what's worse? the apparent copying or the perceived coverup as trump's campaign chairman repeatedly insists there was no plagiarism in melania trump's speech, and that the campaign will not fire, will not discipline any staffer. >> these were common words and values and she cares about her family, that things like that. i mean she was speaking in front of 35 million people last night. she knew that. to think that she would be cribbing michelle obama's words is crazy. >> barack and i were raised with so many of the same values, like you work hard for what you want in life, what your word is your bond, that you do what you say you're going to do. >> my parents impressed on me the values that you work hard for what you want in life, that your word is your bond and you do what you say and keep your promise. >> the speech was a poignant speech, it was well received by the american people. there is no -- we don't believe there is anything in that sp

appears to have lines directly lifted from michelle obama's 2008 speech. this as we are just moments away from republican presidential nominee donald trump's arrival here in cleveland. looking at live pictures right now. he'll be with his running mate governor mike pence of indiana and his family. we'll bring that to you live. stand by for that. also this hour, senator ted cruz, he's set to speak here in cleveland as well any minute now looking at live pictures of that. we'll monitor that. we'll hear what he has to say. will he endorse donald trump? here to talk about all of that, the controversy what today's reaction mean. maeve reston, a speech writer from the trump organization has come forward, offered her resignation which donald trump has declined to accept. tell us the background. >> so, this obviously has been a huge source of confusion over the last couple of days, how did the passages from michelle obama's 2008 speech show up in melania's speech. the campaign was not offering details. they said they were trying to track it down today just a few minutes ago, someone who has

office before, somebody like michelle obama who actually schools all the politician and says this is how you're supposed to deliver a moving speech at a convention. michelle obama, extraordinary last night. >> one of the best speeches i've seen at a convention. it fused the personal with a political for a purpose. she talked about her home life to try to make the home life to make the point that hillary clinton should be the next president. some of the other speeches were solid. bernie sanders and elizabeth warren came after her and she was a very tough act to follow. >> very tough act to follow. bernie, though, of course, had just a massive reception. he had a good night as well. >> overall a decent night for democrats fl i think mike's point early on not having seen anything like this was real. i was on the show early in the evening and it was clear from the first couple of speakers it was going to go really bad. i thought overall the enthusiasm channeled to the right way. if this is the first night. tonight will be a better night. we get ready for tim kaine and hillary clinton. >>
