Inside quicken loans arena where tonight could there be even more controversy . Weve just gotten this, rnc officials confirming to fox news they are looking but still have no idea whats going to happen tonight from the never trump camp. What are senator ted cruzs intentions or his loyalists going to do . The traditional roll call of states set to unfold this evening with speeches focusing on jobs and the economy. The theme today, making america work today. Lou dobbs has a front row seat to history there in cleeland. We will ask him about the buzz around the melania speechgate yes, its a gate already and the muchawaited speech by House Speaker paul ryan tonight. By the way, wait until you hear what ryan told a wall street luncheon about donald trump. Plus, the former mayor of cleveland, Dennis Kucinich on how the trump coronation must recover from somewhat of a rocky start. On wall street a pitched battle right now between the bulls and the bears as Earnings Results dominate the session. Can the Dow Jones Industrial average notch its sixth Straight Record . Folks, were there right now, and that just developed in the past couple of minutes. With less than an hour to the closing bell, im telling you, youre in the right place. Lets start the countdown. Liz and check this, okay in three, three points is what the dow is moving higher by. In the last 4550 minutes or so the bulls actually snatched the baton right out of the bears paws. For the moment we have only the dow moving higher by three points, but that is another alltime record if we close there, the s p down five points, the nasdaq down 23. But again, were watching this closely because all day long we were in the red. A part of the reason, goldman sachs, it might be why the bulls are stumbling a built as they head to the finish line. The financial giant did beat the street on Second Quarter earnings. Gang, profits climbed 77 , but wall street is a funny place. They had a higher number in mind, so the stock is moving lower by 3. 5 . 1. 5 , that is a drag on the Dow Jones Industrials. And darling yahoo and its leader, marissa mayer, dealing another blow after yahoo fell short of street expectations, but the stock is still up by a third of a percent. Muchawaited announcement of those still in the running to pick over the bones of whats left of yahoo , that never came. Mayer was supposed to talk about it on the conference call, she basically said, move along, nothing to see here, but its supposedly down to quicken, at t, verizon, we shall see. All of this drama, is it giving you a headache . Johnson johnson came in with healthy results, beating wall street earnings expectations, raised its 2016 sales and earnings forecast. The health care giant credited strong Prescription Drug business for the results. So shares are reflecting that at the moment. Let us get to the drama at the Republican National convention dominating the headlines. Weve got team fox business coverage all over cleveland. Look on our screen. Peter barnes on the floor of the quicken loans arena, hes watching for floor skirmishes from the never trump camp. Blake burman in downtown cleveland on how stores are dealing with the muchwelcomed boost in business, and jeff flock ahead of a big rally in Public Square which is right there in the heart of cleveland. So here we are, day two of the Republican NationalConvention Set to get under way later this afternoon. The theme, as i just mentioned, making america work again. Day one focused on making america safe again. American National Security had a parade of speakers including Rudy Giuliani discussing how to make america safe. The speakers including the mayor who said the vast majority of americans today do not feel safe, and donald trump, he says, will help make us feel safe again. Pat smith said trump will make america stronger and that Hillary Clinton cannot be truthful about the events that happened in benghazi in 2012, and Lieutenant GeneralMichael Flynn gave quite an impassioned speech about americans heading our enemies head on and recognizing our obligation to the world with integrity and strength. But there is so mu talk about melania and all this other stuff. But for me, one person who really stood out was former u. S. Navy seal Marcus Luttrell who challenged the millennials in the audience there and anybody who might be watching in this comment in his speech. Listen. I stand among you walking, i was allowed to walk with giants, all right . And now were looking for the next generation of giants. Who among you will love something more than you love yourself, all right . Who among you are going to step up and take the fight to the enemy . Because its here. Liz peter barnes is there on the floor of quicken loans arena, keeping a hawkeye out, i guess for my breaking developments. Any breaking developments. Yesterday we had the cruz loyalists trying to get a roll call. What are you hearing on the floor there . Might that happen again . Reporter yes, liz. I actually have talked to some of the never trump people here, and during the roll call tonight to formally nominate donald trump as the republican president ial nominee, some of the never trump people plan to try to at least draw attention to their cause which is a lot of these folks were for ted cruz. They were unhappy on how all that ended up with their candidate. And in some cases some of the states now are bound 100 for donald trump, but they have an opportunity under the rules to actually stand up and protest. So there are delegates from, i hear, five states washington state, maine and some others that may do that. Well be watching that tonight. Were also getting reaction to Melania Trumps speech last night at that podium right behind me. A as you know, this controversial as to whether or not some of her speech was possibly plagiarized from a 2008 speech by Michelle Obama. Paul manafort, the Trump Campaign chairman, addressed that issue in a press conference this morning. Listen. Certainly, weve noted that the clinton camp was the first to get it out there and trying to say that there was something untoward about the speech that Melania Trump gave. Its just another example as far as were concerned that when Hillary Clinton is threatened by a female, the first thing she does is try to destroy the person. Reporter manafort was also saying, listen, Melania Trump and Michelle Obama, they both share similar values about family and other issues. No surprise that there might be some at least similar language. Some critics are making a mountain out of a molehill. Liz peter, let me just say, howie kurtz of fox news is crediting an interior designer sitting at a starbucks in los angeles who was listening to the speech. So Paul Manafort going after Hillary Clinton, hes getting some criticism by doing that. Are you hearing anything about that . Reporter yeah, thats right. Because theyre trying to say that the Clinton Campaign was planting some of this criticism, and so you are hearing the Trump Campaign try to turn it into a political issue, saying that this is just political. Liz gotcha. If you go on foxnews. Com, howie kurtz says it was just this guy sitting in a starbucks in los angeles who was listening and started tweeting about it. Peter, thank you. Were still in cleveland, folks. Whats happening is we want to the take the story outside where cleveland is open for business. The convention crush is already boosting clevelands local economy particularly for businesses just outside the conventions perimeter. And thats where blake burman is. Hes right there in cleveland on east 4th street which is a busy pedestrian street with a lot of restaurants and stores in the shadow of the convention hall. Give us a sense of how theyre faring. Reporter it is, indeed. We are in the middle of this, liz. I know this is your city. I wish you could be here with us. Take a look at this, this place is packed right now. Weve been talking to a lot of these restaurant owners, managers, store owners and the like, and they tell us that business is going well here. Its not really a onesizefitsall kind of thing. Weve heard anywhere from somebody told me their restaurant was up 25 , i heard another person say just about three times as much. The big number here though in cleveland, this area, is 200 million to 250 million because that is what they are projecting to make on direct spending from all of us here spending all of this money over this week or so. Take a listen here to one owner just down the road there, we spoke to an owner inside the arcade, and he told us hes doing very well. We were three times, three times more for lunch business. You know, it basically is the revenue that we had for game seven of the cavs, is so its been fantastic for us. Reporter you heard him reference game seven of the cavs. Liz, most everyone weve talked to here, the owners of these businesses, have told us it hasnt just been this week that theyre lookin last week that was really good for them as well, they say this has been about a month straight going back from the cavs into the rnc. Its been a really great month for them. Liz i told everybody, they call it the mistake on the lake, i call it best location in the nation. [laughter] reporter ive been looking, liz, for a lebron for president stand. [laughter] i havent been able to find any of those, but i bet ill find one. Liz i know you will. Thank you very much, blake burman. Were pingponging outside, inside, but youre looking at live pictures inside the quicken loans arena. We have a stacked lineup for tonight. Senate majority leader mitch mcconnell, House Speaker paul ryan, governors Chris Christie and dr. Ben carson will take the stage. The topic of day two, hits on business and jobs. But will speakers have to work around a june jobs report that actually came in with a huge beat . That marked 76 months of straight gains. Its seen as one more notch in the job creation belt for the Obama Administration that Hillary Clinton look, no doubt will point to. What tone must be struck tonight . Lou dobbs is live right there at the Convention Center in cleveland. And before we get to that, lou, day two and this has been one fascinating convention already, filled with developing stories, but peter barnes just reported on the never trump group, the socalled cruz loyalists. And his report is hes spoken to these people, they say they will try again tonight to do during the roll call what they did yesterday, and thats get cruzs ooh name in the nomination. What are you hearing . Whats going on . Well, precisely what peter is reporting. There is no, no suggestion on the part of the never trump people that theyre going to simply acquiesce now and accept their fate based on the vote for the delegates. Theyre overwhelmed here, liz. No one should make any mistake about it. Steve womack leading the way, gaveling through yesterday two voice votes instead of a roll call vote. Look, cruz no one understands his motivation really because he begins to look very bad, very small. And we do understand when ken cucinelli, the former attorney general of virginia, says that he just wants to be heard, you know liz yeah. And by the way, lou, we showed him just now throwing his credential down on the floor which was, you know, the drama moment. They want to relitigate it. Yeah, they want to relitigate it, they want a revote, and there wont be one. The trump people have been pretty nice. Paul manafort and Reince Priebus had been very accommodative. This was, this was i think as the british might say im hanging around varney too long, you know . Its bad form. [laughter] liz bad form. Okay. Lets get to the nights speakers. Paul ryan slated for tonight, but just yesterday he was at a wall street journal luncheon in cleveland and said, quote trump is not my kind of conservative. But then he called upon republicans to rally behind trump nonetheless. Sort of faint praise. What are people saying about that message and what they are expecting more tonight . For tonight . Most of the congressmen and women ive talked with here in cleveland, liz, theyre trying to avoid the answers you might suspect. Theyre trying to avoid the conflict that paul ryan deeps presenting keeps presenting them. And it doesnt even really matter too much about the level of enthusiasm for donald trump. The reality is, again, ryan has become he is the skunk in the room. He continues to assert his agenda that he has put into competition with that of donald trump. That will not happen. And so all he is creating is unnecessary friction. And, again, himself, he looks smaller, and he will look smaller still when the inevitable occurs and Donald Trumps name goes into nomination tonight. It is peculiar, the crosscurrents that are taking place. But ill say this, it adds more dimension and more life and clearly demonstrates that the republican tent, liz, is getting much bigger as donald trump has brought in more voters. Liz and its great, because were all there, you guys are there covering that. Speaking of adding friction you bet. Liz or at least extending friction, speechgate. We cant go without talking about this. And heres why, and its kind of starting to annoy me when people say, oh, its just the mainstream media. Its the front page of foxnews. Com. Drudge report which is not mainstream has it. The New York Post had it last night. What appears to be overlaps, in some cases word for word, Melania Trumps speech with Michelle Obamas speech back in 2008. You know, its not so much that, im calling that a cotton candy crisis because its really kind of light and not much substance. What does have substance, lou, is that you have Paul Manafort calling it bogus which only extends it, because there are people who are looking at this saying it does look like it was an issue. Track it down, figure it out, fire somebody or deal with it. You even have howie kurtz of fox news calling it a colossal disaster. Yeah. Well, i would not, certainly, ever argue with howie kurtz on the dimensions and the size of disaster. I would, however, if i may, try to put into context what occurred. There was similarity of language, without question. But ironically and people are not focusing on this melanias similarity of language to that of Michelle Obama ignores Michelle Obamas similarity of language to that of saul olin sky from his rules for radicals. It is, language is a very difficult thing to take ownership of. In point of fact, these similarities occur. Joe biden has said, come on, let it go, everybody does this. He should know, he did it. [laughter] he did it quite often. Liz its very, very common, we know that. I think what were watching here is also an attempt on the part of some people to ignore the fact that there are writers involved here. Neither barack obama, nor Michelle Obama liz sorry, but does it speak, does it speak to the management or Melania Trump, none of them wrote what they put forward last night. Liz we got that run, but does it speak look, its make america work again. Does this campaign need to be managed slightly differently . I think right now this campaign is being managed beautifully. Day one. They are in control of this convention no to matter what. You know . Be no matter what anyone says. And they are demonstrating that with a majority, democracy works. Theyre going to get to their goal, and their goal is to get the nominee nominated here tonight and to get into the campaign so they can take on the real issue which is Hillary Clinton. And we have only begun to go through some of her, well, lets say misappropriations of not just language, but of much, much more. Liz we shall see. Lou, thank you. Lous got a special edition, by the way, tonight so make sure to tune in to that. Two hours from the Republican National convention. Hell be dipping in and out of speeches, it all starts at 7 p. M. Eastern, and then well have more from the Convention Center. Nobody knows cleveland like this guy, Dennis Kucinich live on all the convention craziness. Well be right back.
