Transcripts For KYW CBS Evening News With Scott Pelley 20160719

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 Trumps name has just been placed in nomination, and now the statebystate 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 trumps spiewsm last night. Her address to this conservative gathering borrowed liberally from Michelle Obamas 2008 Democratic Convention speech. Barack and i were raised with so many of the same values, like you work hard for what you want in life. My parents impressed on me the value that you work hard for what you want in life. That your word is your bond, that you do what you say youre 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. That you treat people with respect. Because we want our children and all children in this nation. Because we want our children in this nation. To know that the only limit to the height of your achievement is the reach of your dreams and your willingness to work hard for them. To know the only limit of your achievement is the strength of your dreams and your willingness to work for them. Pelley donald trump, who is rarely at a loss for words of his own, was unusually silent today. Heres nancy cordes. She never cribbed from anyones speech. Reporter trumps cam main manager didnt go so much on damage control as damage denial. To think she would be cribbing Michelle Obamas words is crazy. Reporter campaign allies tried to downplay the controversy. 93 of the speech is completely different from Michelle Obamas speech. Reporter as Paul Manafort looks to shift the blame elsewhere. Its certainly noted the clinton camp was the first to get it out there. Reporter nice try. Not true after intentionally avoiding any mention of the speech that was supposed to be a g. O. P. Highlight. Rnc chairman Reince Priebus acknowledged what manafort would not. Would you fire that speech write center. Probably. If someone on your staff had made this mistake, would you fire them . I have fired chief of staff. Reporter democratic chair Debbie Wasserman schultz. I think its just one in a series of things that occurred on first day of the Republican National convention that really show you that they are not ready for prime time. Reporter trumps former Campaign Manager, who was recently fired himself, argued manafort should step down. And whoever signed off, was the final sign off that allowed this to go forward, should be fired. Reporter but trump supporter Newt Gingrich insists plagiarism plagues both sides. You have a Vice President president who cheerily stole speech, obamas choice to be Vice President. You have a president who stole from deval patrick, and nobody thought it was a big deal. Reporter actually, bidens plagiarism was such a big deal he had to drop out of the president ial race, but tonight, scott, most of the delegates ive spoken to feel that this case has been blown out of proportion. In fact, the term i keep hearing over and over again is much adieu about nothing. Pelley nancy cordes, thanks very much. Well, donald trump, jr. , defended his stepmother to cbs this morning cohost norah odonnell. Reporter theres an unwritten word in campaigns, which is do no harm, especially to the candidates spouse. Was this a disservice to her . Was it an embarrassment . I imagine people shouldnt have done that or should have cleaned it up better, but thats not what were here to talk about. Im proud of the way she did. I think she did excellent. I was happy to watch and be part of it. Reporter corey lewandowski, the Previous Campaign manager, suggested that what happened with melanias speech suggests that its amateur hour with the new Campaign Manager Paul Manafort. Theres a reason paul is in the position he is today and cory is not, and its not because paul is amateur hour. I understand, hes not here anymore, you want to maintain relevance, you want to be on tv, you want to do these things. Thats not a service to the campaign. I think its nonsense. Ive heard that other people say, oh, is the family on the outs with paul, total nonsense. Pelley donald trump, jr. , with norah odonnell. Well, if those lines were borrowed or stolen, it certainly wouldnt be the first time. At the 1916 g. O. P. Convention, future president warren g. Harding said, we must have a citizenship less concerned about what the government can do for it and more anxious about what it can do to exalt the nation. Sound familiar . Listen to this democrat 45 years later. Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country. Pelley now to the historymaking nomination happening right here tonight. Heres major garrett. It is my distinct honor and great pleasure to nominate donald j. Trump for the office of president of the United States of america. [cheering and applause] reporter its the moment donald trump craved and the republican establishment dreaded, the roll call cementing him as the g. O. P. Nominee. It opened day two of the convention. 36 votes for the next president of the United States, donald j. Trump. Reporter donald trump, jr. , will read the new york delegations total and put his father other over the top and later gave prime time speech team trump hopes will be less controversial than his stepmother melanias. Im going going over it now. People are sending me texts. They, theres only 25 million peach watching, what could happen. Reporter others prepped for their speech, the culmination of their trump transformation since neither rushed to endorse him. Im not ready to do that at this point. Im not there right now. My advice to our noam knee would be to Start Talking about the issues that the American People care about and the start doing it now. Reporter new Jersey Governor Chris Christie is also on the speech card, but like Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and other establishment figures relegated to the preprime time undercard. Given yesterdays attempt by antitrump forces to make their voices heard, there could be some vocal opposition during the roll call. Trumps running mate, indiana governor mike pence had a word of advice for his stilldivided party. The time has come for us to come together. The primaries are over. Reporter as the roll call continues, delegates have three distinct lines about history thats about to be made. There are those who are enthusiastically behind trumped, those who are resigned to his nomination and trying the work up enthusiasm, and the smallest category of all, those who still cannot make up their mind. Pelley major, thank you. While the republicans are making the speeches in this arena, protesters are having their say outside in the Public Square. Demarco morgan is covering that. Demarco . Reporter good evening, scott. Were about three blocks away from the connects convention site. About an hour ago we had hundreds if not thousands of protesters who were here at the Public Square making their voices heard. We have video of them shoving each other when things got out of hand, but there is a technique that Law Enforcement have been using that sort of splits up the crowd. Its called the split and move back, and it appears to have been working. Not just for this protest, but for other demonstrations across the weekend and over the past couple of days. Again, they sort of cleared this space out pretty nice, pretty smoothly, and then seconds after that, you had another crowd of about 200 protesters who just took off running through the streets of downtown cleveland who were led by a group that goes by the name cleveland anonymous. Their job is to basically agitate Police Officers and literally take them on a foot chase. That happened, but we are told it ended without incident. Now, as far as arrests, officials are basically predicting that would make at least 1,000 arrests per day. That hasnt happened. Those numbers havent started to come in. There were no arrests today and no injuries. Just one arrest to report. That happened yesterday. That was a woman who had a warrant for her arrest. Well send things back to you, scott. Pelley hour by hour very quiet it seems like every day here in cleveland. Demarco, thanks very much. Cbs news prime time coverage of the Republican National convention will resume tonight at 10 00 eastern time, and once again ill be joined by norah odonnell. Charlie rose, gayle king and john dickerson. It is not likely that donald trump or any republican can win the presidency without winning ohio. Thats why the convention is here. We went to loraine, ohio, which used to be called steel city, but not anymore. In president ial elections, lorain has been reliably democratic, but that may be changing, too. Ive been here a long time. And now to see it gone is really sad. Pelley generations in lorain, ohio, were forged in blast furnaces, union halls and the democratic party. In march, after 125 years, the last furnace went cold. Nancy tolliver is 60. Half of those years were at republic steel. Thats all i know is the steel plant. Thats all i know to do. It was tough. It was really tough. I have never seen steelworkers literally break down and cry. Its hard to say goodbye, but what can you do . Pelley on his last day, Carlos Hernandez used his phone to take a parting shot. Goodbye, everybody. It was a lot more than the job. It was my life for 28 years. I loved what i did. I was good at what i did. Pelley we met six steelworkers at threestar restaurant, a practical hangout. Behind the counter the sign reads, please pull up your pants. Above the sugar pops, the virgin mary blesses the scene. The last day we worked like nothing was going on, believe it or not. It was like a funeral procession, they shook your hand, took your badge and that was it. It was over. Pelley whats this year been like . Its been hard. Its cutting back, scrimping, saving. I just had to refinance my house so we could keep it. Pelley so numberone issue for all of you is the economy . Yep. At this point, yeah. Pelley show of hands, how many of you are undecided . One, two, three, four undecided. Help me understand something. This county is a reliable democratic county. Votes for the democratic candidate in every election. How is it that four of you are undecided. You really dont have a strong candidate one way or the other now. Its a matter of just waiting and seeing. Trumps saying what people want the hear or what people have thought but wouldnt say out now. Right now you have to pick the lesser of two evils. Pelley you are not yet convinced by donald trump, but im curious why do you hesitate about Hillary Clinton . I havent heard enough from her. I havent heard enough that shes going to do the things that i think she needs to do to bring our industry back. Our industry is gone here. Pelley julio, if the two candidates were sitting here instead of me, what would you say . Id have nothing to say to donald trump, but Hillary Clinton, you know, lets rebuild the middle class, you know, lets give some of that tax money back to america so we can rebuild this country. Pelley jessica, what do you want hear from the president ial candidates . That businesses are going to come back. That were going to bring more jobs to the state, to our city, that people are going to have hope again. Meaghan the mills in lorain were killed by cheap foreign imports. Both trump and Hillary Clinton propose import taxes as a barrier to chinese steel. Ohio is weighing its options.

Pelle pelley 17 days before the olympics and the World Doping Agency wants russia banned, but the International Olympic committee needs convincing. Heres mark phillips. Reporter russian athletes have continued training, but the hurdles theyll have to overcome to get to rio will be a lot higher than these. A day after the enquiry found the russians had operated a statesanctioned doping scheme at the sochi olympics, the i. O. C. Was still not taking the leap the a full russian team ban from the rio games to add to the track team ban already in effect. I. O. C. President thomas bach. The i. O. C. Does not hesitate to take all the measures and the tough et cetera toughest sanctions against this behavior. Reporter but the i. O. C. Is hesitating, saying it has to wait for a court ruling later this week on an appeal by pole vault star yelena isinbayeva, among others to, get the track and field ban overturned. That shouldnt make a difference, says u. S. Antidoping chief travis tygert. No state or sport system should ever attempt to do this again. I think that means you have to exclude the russian delegation from the olympic games. Reporter what the russians did was cheat by using cold warstyle spy craft to compromise the olympic drug testing system. Right next door to the lab where the athletes urine samples were tested, the f. S. B. , the old k. G. B. , moved in. A whole was drilled through the wall. Samples from the russian athletes that had tested positive for drugs were slipped out, and they were replaced with clean samples that were slipped in. Which is why the lawyers are now involved. In the meantime, the i. O. C. Says it will retest the samples of all the russian athletes who were in sochi, but the biggest sanctions, scott, the ban from rio, its not ready to do that yet.

Our david martin reports tonight that the pentagon has found that for some vets anger is hard to control. Reporter nearly three million americans have served in iraq and afghanistan, and many of them came home angry. A study published by army psychiatrists in 2015 found anger and aggression are among the most common issues reported by rushing returning Service Members from combat deployments. Copkillers like Micah Johnson and gavin long both served in military war zones. Long was a data specialist for the marines in iraq. There is no indication from their Service Records either saw frontline combat. Although in wars fought without front line, almost everybody could be exposed to some level of violence. Johnson gout out last year, a problem soldier accused of Sexual Harassment by a woman who specifically asked that he seek mental help. Long had been out of the marines for six years and had take on the expressing his anger in videos. Youre in a world thats ran by devils. Get this through your head right now. Devils run this. Reporter marines say none of their studies dating back to the vietnam war have found a conclusive link between combat deployment and anger, but a 2013 army study of 2,000 combat veterans found 35 getting angry enough to kick or smash something, 22 percentagery enough to threaten someone with physical violence, and 7 percentagery enough to actually hit someone. A second study pointed to something called trait anger, defined as a propensity to become angry under stressful position, in other words, anger could have been a personality trait before they joined the military, and the stress of service made it worse. All soldiers returning from combat are screened for Mental Health problems, but according to that study, those screenings do not include anger or aggression. Scott .

Pel pelley borrowed words are controversial and borrowed music, too. Heres jim axelrod. We are the champions, my friends reporter love him or hate him, you have to admit, the guy knows how the make an entrance. But it wasnt the sight of donald trump that set the twittersphere on fire last night as much as the sound that accompanied him. We are the champions the moment trump made Freddie Mercury roll over in his grave, was one tweet, referencing the contradiction that a nominee of party is platform antisamesex marriage would choose a song written and sung by a gay man who died from aids. Irony not lost on Freddie Mercurys pals like sting. Do you think Freddie Mercury would approve . No. Reporter as for queen, their message was simple, an unauthorized use at the Republican Convention against our wishes. Its the second time in two months theyve made it clear they dont want trump using their music and asked him not to. We will keep on the end while the songs use was probably legal, it doesnt make it right. That trump didnt follow that request, to me as a lure, its not illegal, but its offensive. You cant always get what you want reporter the rolling stones, adele and Michael Stipe have all voiced their displeasure at trump using their songs, but on a night that raised the issue of unauthorized use. That your work is your bond. Reporter the trump campaigns choice of music made for the perfect soundtrack. We are the champions reporter jim axelrod, cbs news, new york.
