Worst heat wave in a long time. Good morning. Day two of the Republican National convention gets under way today with the theme, make america work again, after a very eventful day one. Yeah, it was. Complete with a delegate revolt and a keynote now kicking up some controversy. Yes, it wouldnt be a convention without controversy, democrat or republican. Donald trump made a grand entrance looking beyonce style here appearing in silhouette flanked by blinding white lights. He broke tradition by taking the stage on day one to introduce his wife, melania. Now, she used her tenminute speech to show her husbands softer side, but some of her remarks were strikingly similar to Michelle Obamas own Convention Speech eight years ago. We get the latest now from abcs Stephanie Ramos live at the Convention Site in cleveland. Good morning, stephanie. Reporter kendis and diane, good morning. There was so much buzz about the big headliner for night one, Donald Trumps wife melania. Well, guess what, there still is. Melania is trending on twitter and for all the wrong reasons. Day one of the Republican National convention proved to be as unconventional as expected. We are the champions [ cheers and applause ] reporter donald trump popping up the very first day to introduce his wife melania. An amazing mother, an incredible woman, Melania Trump. Reporter melania taking the stage introducing herself to america and making the case for her husband. Hes tough when he has to be, but hes also kind and fair and caring. Reporter her speech though sparking controversy overnight with allegations of plagiarism, some portions of the speech sounding nearly identical to first lady Michelle Obamas 2008 Convention Speech. We want our children and all children in this nation to know that the only limit to the height of your achievements is the reach of your dream and your willingness to work for them. And your willingness to work for them. Reporter the convention got off to a chaotic start. Antitrump delegates on the Convention Floor trying and failing to take steps to block trumps nomination. In the opinion of the chair, the ayes have it. Reporter the nights theme was to make america safe again meant to focus on National Security and recent violence, but the theme that took over, the case against Hillary Clinton. Who would trust Hillary Clinton to protect them . I wouldnt. Would you . All no. Reporter but inside the clinton campaigns war room, staffers watched the rnc and fired back swiftly with videos, tweets, also from cleveland. The Trump Campaign defending Melania Trumps speech this morning saying melanias team of writers took notes on her own life inspirations and included fragments that reflected her own thinking. Kendis and diane, back to you. All right, a lot of people talking about that one today. Stephanie ramos live in cleveland. Stephanie, thank you. Okay, so as she mentioned, it did set off a flurry of comments and criticisms on social media all over the place. For a more indepth look now we want to play the lines in question. I guess there were two of them side by side right now, the first ladys speech. Take a listen. Barack and i were raised with so many of the same values the values that you work hard for what you want. Like you warrick hard for what you that your word it your bond. That your word is your bond and you do what you say and keep your promise that you treat people with respect. That you treat people with the dignity and respect even if you dont know them and even if you dont agree with them. And barack and i set out to build lives guided by these values and we need to pass those lessons on to the next generation on to the many generations. Because we want our children and all children in this nation to know that the only limit to the height of your achievements is the reach of your dreams and your willingness to hard for them. The strength of your dreams and your willingness to work for them. As you can see there, two main paragraphs in the speech very similar, only two, three words different there. And aside from a statement, the Trump Campaign that stephanie mentioned there that the Trump Campaign did issue, donald trump tweeted last night that hes proud of his wife, calling her speech and her demeanor absolutely incredible and she did after the speech receive lots of praise for the message and for her poise, but then people started digging and found these similarities and now its changed quite a bit. About an hour or so later thats when it all came out. The new york daily news, no real supporter of donald trump. No, seizing the opportunity. Absolutely, just saying, thanks, mrs. Obama here pointing at his wife in the meantime. You know, its still early obviously in the day but no explanation yet on exactly how this happened. Melania had said earlier that she got just a little bit of help from writers but that she wrote a lot of the speech herself, but then trump came out saying that she did have a team of writers, so a lot of questions still left to be answered on that one. Their pr machine needs to get into gear. And, of course, lots of buzz about the convention with this and other topics that dominated social media overnight. Yeah. And these are the three most tweeted about moments, melanias speech, donald trump introducing melania and Rudy Giulianis speech specifically when he addressed terrorism. And then the most retweeted Convention Tweet was actually Hillary Clintons. She sent out a quote from giuliani in 2010 when he apparently said that clinton was doing a good job. Clinton then added, republicans have a lot of nice things to say when its not an election year. Thanks, mayor giuliani. His speech was quite fiery, as well.

And if youre flying, expect airport delays in atlanta, charlotte and denver. Well, a bit of controversy as republicans gather in cleveland today for day two of the convention. Thats right. So Melania Trump praised her husband as a kind, caring family man, but shes now under fire accused of stealing two lines from Michelle Obamas 2008 Convention Speech. The theme of the night was make america safe again. Former new york mayor Rudy Giuliani and other speakers slammed Hillary Clinton and insisted trump would be great for National Security. And former senator bob dole is the only past gop nominee in attendance at this years gop convention. Dole now 92 sat next to trumps running mate mike pence last night, and melania actually gave him a shoutout during her speech recognizing him as a great veteran. And many key republicans are not endorsing donald trump and not even going to the convention, as you mentioned, including the bush family, mitt romney and senator john mccain. Now, lara spencer got reaction on the noshows in a oneonone interview with Donald Trumps trusted adviser, his daughter, ivanka. Thats their choice. You know, if they dont want to be part of the narrative, if they dont want to be part of the future, that is their decision, but this really is about a forwardlooking moment. It was just over a year ago that you announced your fathers president ial bid, and in just a few days youll do it again this time though as the president ial nominee.

Well, for those who are following, today is a rest day in the tour de france, but we still have some cycling to talk about and show you. This was the scene in china. Watch as a man causes a massive crash. He walked straight through into a charging group of riders. Theyre about a mile from the finish and were going about 45 miles an hour. The guy who caused the crash was taken into custody. Several riders, though, suffered broken bones. And then this scene back here in california, half moon bay, a paddleboarder getting an up close look at a humpback whale. Wait for it. The massive animal breaches the surface. Oh. As it was feeding on herring. Slow motion here shows you just how close the encounter was. So, the woman on the paddleboard says she plays the flute for the whales, and they come to her. She surely, though, couldnt have expected that. Thats a little more effective than she intended. Yeah. Her flute was really good. And a note about next seasons march madness, for the first time ever, the tournaments overall number one seed will get to choose the location where it will play its first and second round games.

Thats a threepointer to tie the game up, and mom and dad love it, and so were going to ot. And in ot, tie game, whos going to win it . Denzel valentine is going to win it. The bulls go undefeated in the vegas summer league. They win, and im still not sure that thats the craziest thing that happened in vegas on monday night. That doesnt make the top 30 on monday. And in the weekend it doesnt make the top 100. I believe thats all we have, is that correct . Thats all we have. All right, valentine. I heart you, america. Thank you. Up next in the pulse, one of the most talked about moments from the rnc, that dramatic entrance from donald trump now drawing some comparisons. And paul ryan under fire for posting this picture of capitol hill interns. Can you spot why . Whats wrong with it . Interns. Can you spot why . Whats wrong with it . Who knew hpv could lead to certain cancers . Who knew my risk for hpv would increase as i got older . Who knew that there was something that could have helped protect me from hpv when i was 11 or 12, way before i would even be exposed to it . Did you know, mom . Dad . I was infected with hpv. Maybe my parents didnt know how widespread hpv is. While hpv clears up for most, that wasnt the case for me. Maybe they didnt know i would end up with cancer because of hpv. Maybe if they had known there was a vaccine to help protect me when i was 11 or 12. Maybe my parents just didnt know. Right, mom . Dad . What will you say . Dont wait.

Every bite will be food as it should be. That was quite an entrance topping the pulse here. Donald trumps rock star entrance at the republican convention. So trump stepped on the stage like no other nominee before him appearing in silhouette with bright lights shining from behind and queens we are the champion blaring through the convention hall. I think he was trying to channel the rock star. Yeah, he achieved it, and twitter quickly exploded showing comparisons including this one from wwes undertaker saying, its a bit more like wrestlemania. One twitter user posted this one saying the entrance reminded him of ivan dragos walk to the ring in rocky iv. Yes, our tom llamas said it was very beyoncelike. All he needed was a fan for the hair. Cant mess up trumps hair, though. No. Next up House Speaker paul ryan is taking some heat over a photo he posted. There it is, ryan in front of a large group of young people. So the speaker adding the line, i think this sets a record for the most number of capitol hill interns in a single selfie. Critics who were playing wheres waldo quickly pointed out a lack of diversity among the almost all white group. Now, at least one House Democrat has blasted ryan saying, in todays day and age, there is no excuse for not having a diverse staff of interns. See if you can spot him. All right.
