Transcripts For MSNBCW MSNBC - Republican National Convention 20160722

Mr. Trump promised to make this a country of law and order, i think he said it five times and he vowed to put America First and take on, again, his phrase, the rigged political and Economic System of our land. It was a very nationalistic speech, his targets included bad trade deals and stupid wars. Trump promised to protect americans from crime, terrorism and lawlessness. He called for suspending immigration from any country as he put it compromised by terrorism and he again promised to build a wall along the border with mexico to stop what he called the violence spilling across the border. In this race for the white house, i am the law and order candidate we Must Immediately suspend immigration from any nation that has been compromised by terrorism until such time as proven vetting mechanisms have been put in place. We dont want them in our country. We are going to build a great border wall to stop illegal immigration, to stop the gangs and the violence and to stop the drugs from pouring into our communities. I have a message for all of you that crime and violence that today afflicts our nation will soon, and i mean very soon, come to an end. Beginning on january 20th of 2017, safety will be restored. At the same time speaking to blue collar voters like this one in ohio, he promised, i am your voice, that may have been his biggest line. His top target was Hillary Clinton and all week republicans in the arena have been chanting lock her up. You heard it a lot here in this room. Tonight trump played to that sentiment. Her single greatest accomplishment may be committing such egregious crime and getting away with it, especially when others who have done far less have paid so dearly. Well, this hour were also going to have fun getting ready for the Democratic Convention coming from my hometown in philadelphia. We have some good featured material to talk about. They talk about the action sece philly people. We have the latest on Hillary Clintons Vice President ial pick, not sure who it is but lots of talk about tim kaine. But we begin with our road warriors, the nbc reporters who covered this convention, kelly odonnell, katy tur were punchy, chris. You woke us up from our naps. Are we there yet . Youre on. Were on, other, hi. How are you guys . What did you think . We talked about the tone, talked about the theme. Within of the things that we all did was hang out on the floor and talk to delegates and talk to people who were experiencing it. Kelly, you said Something Interesting last night or the night before that the final night speech is a release. Its people they want to get excited and they want to cheer and go nuts for the candidate, toward the end of his how long was it, an hour and 20 something the longest speech in modern history. What did you think, katy . It was a lot of red meat. It was so markedly different from the tone that ivanka set. She came in, she was smiling and talking about families. She mentioned she was a hill enie millennial and targeted the younger voter. And then donald trump comes out and it was pretty negative. It was a pretty good speech for donald trump but it was like his campaign has been, very negative and fear filled. And i was struck by how ivanka reached out to mothers and we know she recently had a baby. Hes got this gender gap issue and she seemed to very effectively reach the audience. There were a lot of people around us who were commenting about her and then there was sort of a sensory experience of being in the hall where there were plenty of people on their feet for quite a while and then occasionally just had to sit back down because it did go on. And then trumps head was just ginormous on the screen here, which was kind of a bizarre thing. Because were watching him and it was just enormous. For a guy who is such a populist, it was so interesting to me that the chant that came from the crowd was a yes, you will versus yes, we can. Its just such a different vibe and idea from, you know, 2008, 2012. And again, a guy who is sort of positioning himself as a man of the people. He kept saying over and over again that i am the on one that can fix the problem, i can do it, trust me, i can change things. Hes trying to create this illusion or this idea of himself as the ultimate savior. The billionaire fixit man. It was like being at a rally in some ways but without the spontaneity. You had the build the wall chants and it was completed scripted and he really stayed on script. What did you think about trump on prompter . It not as exciting as trump off prompter. Hes Getting Better at it. The lines he ad libbed are the lines that felt more natural and got the biggest applause lines. My favorite line, can i say it, please, im going to fix the tsa. It was one line that had no bearing to anything else. It just came out of nowhere. If you have not been to a rally or political event like this, you may not know that tsa, the blue shirts are here as well working the perimeters because there arent enough secret Service Officers for all the politics this year. The balloon malfunction that was staggered . Since theyre all here, the producers that come along with us. Michelle, anthony, bonnie, frank. These are the people who wear funny headsets.

Now that im here, this is the best monologue in snl history. Do you agree with that . Yeah, thats pretty good. Look at this. You think youre this terrific person, you think youre this, you think youre that, bah, ba, bah, bah. Youre being very naive and, quite frankly, youre fired. That was Darrell Hammond who played donald trump on saturday night live. There he is in the breaking ball hat. He joins us with actor and alternate delegate robert davey. Trump, first of all, read his speech. Im not sure thats his specialty. He was also angry for an hour and a half, which is a long time to be angry for anybody. Hes more powerful when hes off the cuff but when hes off the cuff, its extremely dangerous because you dont express all of your thoughts in total at one time they appear over an hour and people can pick them apart and say what they want about them. I thought it was a very powerful speech. What did you think about the ending . I think it was really well crafted. He had a great response on one more person whose death didnt matter. He was really good when he slowed down and got quiet and talked about, you know, wheres their sanctuary . There are some really powerful moments. And with ivanka, too, that whole thing of ill be there to ensure these womens rights happen. Ive been raving about john voight. I know hes pretty far right for me to say that. John voight is amazing in donovan. And then tonight he did this almost reaganesque reading of that film. It was amazingly good. And did he do a great fdr . Hes about as versatile as you can get up there. In pearl harbor. It wasnt a great movie but he was good. Voight is amazing. Lets take a look at another bit of your snl work from november 27, 25015. Lets teake a look at Darrell Hammond. We played both of them. Lets go to robert davey, alternate delegate. You played drug lord juan sanchez. What about the movie tonight the speech tonight. Did you think everybody says they use these fancy words, dystopian instead of utopian and mike used said it was like gothic city. Do you think it was uplifting . Yes, i do. The tonality of donald trump was in everybody. That was a very good speech by tom barrack. I think peter did a good job and ivanka. June 16th i wrote an article talking about donald trump saying he was going to win the nomination. When did you do that . June 15th, 2016, the day he came down. As an actor, you travel the world, you travel the country and i talked to a lot of the blue collar people. Below the line people. Below the line people. Thats who you find respond to donald trump. And where the a talent may say no but the below the line people say im with you. His tone hits the american people. I know this my brother you know from pennsylvania and south jersey. A bit more darrell as trump. I dont know what that was. Why dont you just do it now, darrell. You know what i like about you . You have this amazing ability to do the soul of the guy youre doing. You guess that absolutely mischievous look of bill clinton, i want more than hamburgers and french fries tonight, lady. Thank you. I enjoyed doing you, too. Thank you very much. Were getting limited time here on a big night. A little more with darrell im being told. This is really micromanaging im suffering from. Darrell, how can you do the difference between bill clinton, who has this mischievous, god knows what hes up to thing and trump, who has got this incredible ego about himself and you do this kind of facial thing with him. Who, with trump . Yeah, with trump. With trump we have what is called home base and home base is this sort of thing like that where hes sort of weeding the negative thoughts out of his garden and surveying the world and converting everything thats strange and hostile to into something thats really familiar and fun. We worked with him for like a whole week straight and just to watch him come in here and process this whole place, whether you love him or hate him, its pretty darned impressive. Hes a very charming guy in person. You notice he did this thing where he puts his chin up a lot. He firms up the chin. Not that hes mussolini but hes got that in common with him. That chin up in the air. There he is. Thats actually me. Darrell, what does that say, that statement of the head posture up there . Thats just saying im taking it all. Im taking it all and i know im taking it all. Thats the trump vision where, you know, it sort of this is strange and foreign and weird for me but im doing it, you know. Yeah. Thats that home base. We have pictures all over the place here like that. That home base is a default face, huh . Its the face of its going to be so huge, like that, its going to be terrific. Its the way he looks at life. You wonder why he has so much energy. Each day hes very optimistic and actually kind of fun to be around. Or has the times ive been with him. I think hes the kind of guy that if youre a working guy making an average salary, you think thats how youd live if you have that money. The tower, the wife, the whole thing. Hes not apologizing. Hes not sitting around reading books, taking viking cruises. Hes a hard worker. Thank you very much. Good luck with your alternate delegate work here. Thank you. Our coverage continues from cleveland right after this. To folks out there whose diabetic nerve pain. Shoots and burns its way into your day, i hear you. To everyone with this pain that makes ordinary tasks extraordinarily painful, i hear you. Make sure your doctor hears you too i hear you because i was there when my dad suffered with diabetic nerve pain. If you have diabetes and burning, shooting pain in your feet or hands, dont suffer in silence step on up and ask your doctor about diabetic nerve pain. Tell em cedric sent you. Yes, dear . Hey, honey . Youre washing that bakedon alfredo by hand,right . Yes, dear. Dish issues . Cascade platinum. Powers. Through. Your toughest stuckon food. So let your dishwasher be the dishwasher. This turned out great. Cascade. Welcome back. Tonight donald trump accepted the republican nomination for president and he vowed to put America First. That was his phrase. Tonight i will share with you my plan for action for america. The most important difference between our plan and that of our opponent is that our plan will put America First americanism, not globalism, will be our credo as long as we are led by politicians who will not put America First, then we can be assured that other nations will not Treat America with respect, the respect that we deserve. Joined right now but trumps senior adviser, kellyanne conway, and the author and commentator, the unpredictable ann coulter. I like that line and i pulled it out of the excerpts. I said this trump. This things about nationalism, stop screwing with us, if we keep being weak, were going to be pushed around by china and russia, arabs who arent paying their fair share, the Mexican Government who thinks they can decide our immigration policy, blah, blah, blah. Its unusual since lindbergh to be America First. It does go back to lindbergh here and you see the final transformation of the Republican Party into a nationalist party. Youre basically taking about law and order your conscience is code for vote your conscience. As Everybody Knows on capitol hill it means nfeel free not to back the party. This was not a reaganesque speech. There was no shining city on the hill. This was a very, very powerful are you for or against trump . Oh, im against trump. Are you for or against trump . For him. I know youre working for him. What did you make of that speech . It was beautiful, it was fantastic. I introduced him at rallies since july 2015. So ive been for him for a long time. A rally speech was different. Everyone was wondering. There are no trump stakeaks and trump water on stage. This was a good combination where you got some of him being playful and fun and rallylike but it was serious and there was no recounting his polls or telling him to punch the protester, you know, it wasnt rally, it wasnt post orlando speech, theyre the issues that obviously are very popular with voters. The big three i call them illegal immigration, lost jobs to bad trade deals and stupid wars. He mentions them all almost every time. And he has credibility mentioning it. Hillary clinton does not have a good response. Lets not do hillary. Do what . Theyre actually running against each other. I know you do this all the time, lets do trump. Why law and order tonight . Why five times mentioning law and order . Hes a complex man with very simple messages. We stand with the police, the bricklayers, the plumbers, the trades guys and people who have Ivy League Phds sitting in the suites. We stand with gun owners, with taxpayers, with the police. These are simple messages that are resonant. Its a man that matches the message and the moment very well. He made everyone feel included. Its a word that liberals think they own. Everyone listening, the kid walking home from school who wants to feel safe and learn, the parents. I think this is the best Convention Since 1980. Why did he mention phrase law and order . Because all these cops have just been killed, the murder rate has gone up 17 since last year. Its kind of a big issue and hillary has the mother of mike brown, a violent cop assaulter speaking at her convention. Its a big difference here. That is going to resonate. That is going to score points particularly among the voters that Hillary Clinton has been losing. I know people think this is a dog whistle but i do think there is a real sense that things are falling apart and every time you open up that newspaper and see the cop killings and terror attacks, law and order does appeal to people. Issue democrats next week are going to have to figure out how are they going to respond to that. Are they going to have a black lives matter rally on tuesday or are they going to figure out that safe schools and safe streets do have legitimate concerns. Was there enough in the speech about the terrorism of san bernardino, the parisian kind, nice. Do you think he talked about that enough that, kind of terrorism . Well, i did but what he didnt talk about is what hes actually going to do about it. Its very hard to do something about lone wolf. He said on the day im inaugurated as president , Violent Crime will end. Hey, that would be huge, i mean, if you can do that. In Donald Trumps worlds are the federal government will solve every problem and it will be solved by the supreme leader. I do think hes identifying the correct problems. These are very simple things because theres no solution. How do you pay for this, what are you going to do . I want to defeat isis. Did you hear a plan to defeat isis . Did mitt romney give us a plan . Thats not the place to go to he didnt say that crime would end the day hes inaugurated or becomes president. He said that the laws would be enforced. Everyone knows that what hes referring to is immigration laws not being enforced. I think he meant crime. No, he the film was great. I thought ivanka was not on beautiful and young and perfect, her exquisite allocution, she didnt mispronounce a word. She obviously went to a very good School Without having any hoity toity aspect to it. When i didnt get enough from him was builder. The Republican Party built the transcontinental railroad, gave us scientific agriculture in the middle of a civil war. Wed be riding around on country roads if it werent for ike and the National Defense act. I wonder why the building part wasnt he was more fixer than builder tonight. Hes talking about the guy he d
