Transcripts For KQED Charlie Rose 20160725

West. After 15 years of wars in the middle east, after trillians of dollars spent and thousand of lives lost the situation is worse than it has ever been before. This is the legacy of Hillary Clinton. Death, destruction, terrorism and weakness. [ cheering and applause ] but Hillary Clintons legacy does not have to be americas legacy. The problems we face now, poverty and violence at home. War and destruction abroad will last only as long as we continue relying on the same politicians who created them in the first police. A change in leadership is required to produce a change in outcome. Rose we continue with the introduction of donald trump by daughter, ivanka. One year ago i introduced my father when he declared his canned casei. In his own way and through his own sheer force of will he sacrificed greatly to enter the political arena as an outsider. And he prevailed against the field of 1416 very talented competitors. [ applause ] for more than a year donald trump has been the peoples champion. And tonight he is the peoples nominee. Like many of my fellow mil yenial i do not consider myself categorically republican or democrat, more than Party Affiliation i vote based on what i believe is right for my family and for my country. Sometimes its a tough choice. That is not the case this time. I am the proud daughter of your nominee, i am here to tell you that this is the moment and donald trump is the person to make America Great again. Real change, the kind we have not seen in decades only going to come from outside the system. And its only going to come from a man who has spent his entire life doing what others said could not be done. My father is a fighter. When the primaries got tough, they were tough, did he what any great leader does, he dug deeper, worked harder, got better and became stronger. [ cheering and applause ] i have seen him fight for his family. I have seen him fight for his employees. I have seen him fight for his company. And now i am seeing him fight for our country. Its been the story of his life and more recently the spirit of his campaign. Rose for analysis, john can karl of abc news. They were ex complicit that they were emulating here not Ronald Reagan and city on a hill but rich and nixon, 1968, the law and ford, speech on law and order talking about the forgotten americans. This was a direct echo of Richard Nixon. Rose our biggest story was departure of roger ailes from knocks news his biographer, gabe sherman talks about the circumstances. I think we should look back several days ago at the height of the negotiation, the New York Post, the tabloid newspaper that Rupert Murdoch uses, is that in situations like this when he wants to send a message, he put roger ailes face on the cover of the paper and reported extensively on the Sexual Harassment allegations. That was a message from the murdoch to roger ailes,. Rose a look back at some of the conversations we had in cleveland. He loathes this entire process. He didnt want any politicians on the stage. It would be businessmen, people in the services, people who have gone through rose and his family. His family. He has disdain for this entire process, the process that is supposed to encapsulate everything our electoral system. For being conservative, make America Great. Hes treating it like something he has to get through. Rose the Republican Convention and fox news when we continue. Rose funding for charlie rose has been provided by the following and by bloomberg, a provider of multimedia news and Information Services worldwide. Captioning sponsored by Rose Communications from our studios in new york city, this is charlie rose. Rose we begin with politics and the Republican National convention in cleveland. On its final night. Donald trump officially accepted the partys nomination for the presidency, the speech closed the fourday convention which had been marked by moments of surprise, controversy and some party disunity. Trumps address adhered closely to his Core Campaign message, appealing directly to average americans who feel they have been left behind in the 21st century. Every day i wake up determined to deliver for the people i have met all across this nation that have been neglected, ignored, and abandoned. I have visited the laidoff factory workers, and the communities crushed by our horrible and unfair trade deals. These are the forgotten men and women of our country. And they are forgot open but not going to be forgotten long. These are people who work hard but no longer have a voice. I am your voice. Rose he painted a dark portrait of diminished america plagued by violence, rising crime and terrorism. He pledged repeatedly under his presidency law and order would be restored. He placed blame for americas Current Crisis on his opponent, Hillary Clinton. America is far less safe and the world is far less stable than when obama made the decision to put Hillary Clinton in charge of americas Foreign Policy. Lets defeat her in november. Rose Hillary Clinton was expected to announce her running mate later this afternoon after the taping of this interview. The democratic National Convention will begin monday in philadelphia. Joining me is Jonathan Karl chief White House Correspondent who was in cleveland im pleased to have him at the table. Welcome. Great to be here. Rose some week. Unbelievable. We set a new record, longest acceptance speech of the modern era. Rose ive said this before he had choice to drill down or reach out, he chose to drill down. He sure did. It was they were explicit that they were emulating here not Ronald Reagan and city on a hill. But Richard Nixon 1968. Law and order, this was speech unplanned order talking about the forgotten americans. This was a direct echo of Richard Nixon. Rose what was amazing to me, in terms of one of the biggest applause lines was i am your voice. Yeah. Unbelievable. In the focus groups, they were looking did not rate well with that crowd. But not with those outside. Rose what else rated well . How was the speech being analyzed outside . From people watching on television . One of the key moments was when you heard those chants lock her up trump waited and said, lets defeat her. Took some of the energy out of the room. That is the message that is going to appeal to your hard core. But lock her up is not an appeal to independent voters. Rose there is a movement. Trump has been able to go to the head of that movement. Always saying hes a messenger. Its like this campaign was coming together, a movement that was already there. Then already highly celebrity star and wellknown. If you look at the context, he wraps up the nomination in late may look what happens next. This is the context which they wrote this speech which is, been called by most a very dark speech. Not optimistic speech. But look whats happened. Youve had terrorist attacks in istanbul and nice. You had the horror in orlando. Police shootings in dallas and baton rouge. Shootings by police in minneapolis and baton rouge. In their view this is a dark time. You have a time where in our latest abc news poll over 70 of the country is saying, were on the wrong track. Thats what hes channeling into. Rose and thats not a democratic or republican thing either. Hes basically saying, something is wrong, not only with our politics, but with our establishment. Something is wrong. Thats why, even the fight with ted cruz which was such a colossal distraction. Make no mistake it infuriated him. He played it off, he had that great entrance in the babble of the hall as cruz was getting booed off you can see the anger here now. Day staff tore the convention, he decides to hold a press conference to go after trz. When have we seen this. Would be like, you know, jimmy carter going to launch a new fight with ted kennedy after he beat him. He defended his what he said about ted cruzs father. The campaign, tying into the kennedy assassination, the National Enquirer which had that story as publication that deserves pulitzers and he said, if ted cruz were to destroyed to endorse him he would not accept it. Rose mentioned these kind of accusations came out of the campaign. Yes. Rose this is the reason that ted cruz has stead he lied about me, he lied about my family. Lied about my wife and there for i could never endorse him. Right. These were crazy accusations. Rose so, where did the campaign go from here . Well, ive spoken with people close to mike pence who are visibly beside themselves. There is no plan. Theres no plan. Theres no apparent plan. This is such a fascinating campaign, because it is so unlike any other National Campaign that we have seen. Rose it was one man in quest of his own drive. Can we talk about one moment that blew me away at the very culmination of this entire convention. He plays cant always get what you want as mike pence comes out for that big right before the balloon drop. That was their dont stop believing moment. You cant always get what you wanted which may be the theme rose his attitude about life. Not at all. May be the theme song of this entire campaign. But it is strange. I dont know how all this will affect the timing of Hillary Clintons Vice President ial anointment. It starts monday. But they would like to see some of this sink in. Rose they want to let this kind of if somebody sells making a mistake dont jump in. Let them but ive got to say, i think that most of the kind of commentary on this convention, on his speech, was about how neg sieve and dark it was, how it failed to offer any kind of an uplifting hopeful vision. A reaganesque, city on the hill. But he has tapped into something here. Rose none of us know how big it is. We know it transcends parties, some of the elements ever ite know we saw some of the similar kinds of grievances wh when, on the brexit vote surprised everybody. Rose surprised everybody. Smart people in britain. Rose not just within the Republican Party. He hopes that he can use that to appeal to much wider constituent see. He believes that they can reach out to latinos and others even though they are part of the expected constituent see of the democratic party. Hes had done things about immigration to offend them. He hopes he can make economic argument. That exchange their life. I think that one of the fascinatings things makes that argument he has left behind. We have seen dominate republican politics. For so long, certainly Republican Convention. The cultural wars as weve known them are gone. This was the candidate who won the evangelical vote against all odds, all predictions. Rose he said last night i might not have deserved it. But he wanted to thank them. He said it made all the difference, he wouldnt be there addressing this convention as nominee without their support. He thanked them. The issues that animated that movement were completely ab frequent his speech and largely absent from that convention. Is. And i look at the timing here. This is as north carolina, the nba making not to have the allstar game because of the transgender bathroom issue. That issue is gone. All the anger about gay marriage. No mention of that. Planned parenthood. Animating the republican primary never for donald trump but for all the others. Rose the idea of republican unity . Ted cruz is one thing that had to do with ambitions for the presidency in four years. Ted cruz made a gamble here. The calculation is, that donald trump will go down in blames. That this will be a horrific defeat for republicans. Rose you look back if he does do bad if the campaign becomes nasty and negative then loses, you can look back say, look, i couldnt support him for all the reasons youre seeing now. That is the calculation that lot of republicans have made. Mitt romney rose the bush family. John kasich decided not to step foot. So what cruz is banking on being able to say, others stayed away. I went in and i got booed at that convention. I tried to stand up, i tried to rose i told you to vote your conscience. Exactly. But, you know, i got to say, its a huge gamble and early indications are, we dont know how it will play out. It felt very flat. There was real anger at ted cruz among those who dont like donald trump. I had one Top Republican tell me after cruzs speech, i wasnt for trump but now i am. Because its ted cruz, it was seen as classless, about ted cruz, not about rose was simply not to show up. Which is what john kasich did and bush family. Thats the view of a lot of people that actually agree with him about trump cross does donald trump need the Republican Party . Well, that rose they have structure, they have organization, in 50 states, he has none of. That his argument ive never had any of that. And i dont need it now. Yeah. You know what, even if he has the Republican Party fully in all of its structure and all of infrastructure behind him hes not going to have anywhere near from the democrats and Hillary Clinton have. Whether its on advertising, spending, ground troops, never go fog have that. If hes going to win not going to be because of that. Rose how does he in . What is the pathway . Frank said to us on cbs this morning he expects him to be even if not a little bit ahead in terms of the impact of what happened in cleveland. He then said i expect that Hillary Clinton will come back be even or maybe a little bit ahead after her convention. Being even or a little bit ahead historic she not enough. One came out ahead 17 points. Rose a terrible campaign. Yes. Rose also the Bush Campaign attack on him. Bush 41 campaign. Absolutely. Their approach to that explicitly to that, silent majority. There are wide swaths in the middle class that are that have been left behind and his appeal on the system is rigged. Weve had terrible trade deals. These are not traditional republican messages. Rose interesting thing, his daughter, ivanka introduced him in really interesting speech. She talked about reaching out to women. Talked about pay equity. Lot of issues that people thought were traditional quality child care. All the things it was rose all the issues you would expect from the democrats. Nothing that she said rose talk about it today because of the nature of his speech. It was a remarkable speech. I think that every line in that speech was not about her father, could have been said at the Democratic Convention would have been cheered. Rose there is also the sense that the family did really well. I think thats absolutely true. Rose came across as a remarkable family. And the father obviously and mother as well, have to take some credit. Absolutely. Don juniors speech, as the first one from the family. That speech was interesting because there was a little bit about his father in law. That was a very political speech. That was a speech that i thought could have been given by paul ryan, except perhaps rose keynote speech. Could have been. It echoed, there was a little jack kemp and ronald praying an in there. Eric trump, gave another very strong speech. Did humanize his father. Rose and people in that hall loved the speech. There was no reason not to like it if you were not a republican. Or not a trump supporter then had the controversy over lifting from what an episode that was. You see Paul Manafort come out say it was crazy to say that those passages were lifted from michelle obama, have that out there. Then two days later, yes, it was. Rose they simply said at the beginning what they said at the end would never have been an issue. We made a mistake, were sorry. Would have been benefit. Like refreshing honesty. Rose there was the notion, too, about donald trump looking more President Shall. And some looking at what he said last night, look, hes not going to change. He didnt change last night when he had. Why shoe we expect him to change during this Campaign Even though Paul Manafort and others say they want to see him change, because they believe its important to the overall success of their senate and house candidates. He did change to a degree. The overall rose how did he snake. Did you hear lying hillary in that speech . Did you here rose crooked hillary. There november name calling. There was no mention of mexico paying for the wall. Rose he talks about building the wall. Did he. But he didnt talk about, and mexico will pay for it which is a something that gets got lots of applause in his rallies but gets ridiculed. Rose what about Foreign Policy . If you noticed, one part that have speech that was updated and added later was the whole give on anyway foe. That was another thing. Everything about this campaign so unlike campaigns weve covered. Idea to give 45 minute interview with the New York Times in the middle of the convention, launch this new, you know, wrinkle on nato. Rose which was two part. One they got to pay their fair share what president obama said. And some do that. Then, saying that, if in fact theres an attack on Baltic States from russia, have to look at their contribution. Right. Rose Foreign Policy. The fundamental aspect from definition of alliance. What stories are out there in terms of who is emerging as in knew enshall with trump other than family. Pau
