John dickerson, thanks. Donald trumps 32yearold son and executive Vice President of the Trump Organization has taken the podium. Lets listen in. A man i love so, so much, thats my father. 13 months ago, my father sat my family down and told us the time had come. He could no longer sit by watch our country, the country that he had given our family so much success, so much opportunity crumble before our very eyes. He confirmed to us that he was prepared to announce his candidacy for president of the United States. He made sure to acknowledge that ours would not be an easy path, that we should prepare ourselves for what was to come. That we quickly learn who our true friends were. Without hesitation, weve committed our unwavering support. This time none of us could predict what lay ahead. The records he would break, the stadiums he would fill, the movement he would start. Today my father stands before you with the most primary votes of any republican candidate in the [cheers applause] he shattered Voter Registration records across the country. He has defied the predictions of every single political pundit and turned traditional debates into mustsee tv. He has aspired multiple generations including my own, like millennials myself who have so little faith in politicians that they no longer consider Public Service to be a noble career. A year ago, my father was a businessman. Like many americans, he could no longer stand to see what was happening to our great country. He could no longer stand to see special interest dollars dictate an incompetentoreign policy that puts Foreign Countries before our very own. He could no longer tolerate inept administrations that consider iran or releasing five radical islamic terrorists a successful negotiation. He can no longer bear witness to our continued Second Amendment attacks. [applause] he could no longer stand to see the words christmas stripped from public use or the pledge of allegiance removed from our schools in an effort to be politically correct. So my father made the courageous decision to set aside a company to which he has dedicateded his entire life, to set aside his global brand that he made synonymous with success, with quality, with uncompromising just the best. At a time when the people at the father would have held fast to a lifestyle that has truly become the epitome of the american dream, my father instead chose to give that dream back to the people it had eluded for so long. [applause] as daunting of a journey as he knew it would be for him, it was the easiest decision in the world. After all, who better to implement common sense business approach to this country . Who better to apply Practical Solutions to the impractical Decision Making of an administration that has a 19 trillion debt. One that goes up 32,000 a second and 32 billion a day. Who better implement common sense tax reduction for one of the highest taxes in the world, allowing our citizens to keep opposed to having squandered away by our inefficient government. Who better to negotiate the return of countless american manufacturers like nabisco and ford and carrier and so many others back to the United States where they began than a man who has singlehandedly employed tens and tens of thousands of people around the country. [applause] its time for a president with common sense. Its time for a president who understands the art of a deal and appreciates the value of a dollar. Our tax dollars [applause] its time for the president who has always been the one to sign the front of a check, not the back. Throughout my fathers care by government to save delayed, shuttered and grossly overbudgeted projects like the iconic offices in washington d. C. Back in 1986, the city of new york tried to refurbish a simple ice skating rink in central park. The project ballooned to 13 million. 5 million over an already inflated budget. Thats when my father looked at the disastrous construction site from his Office Window each and every day and decided to step in. Disgusted by government incompetence and ineptitude, he invested 2 million of his own money to complete the project. What had taken the city over a half a decade to botch, my father completed in less than six months, and over a million under budget. Its time for a president who can make America Great again ahead of budget and ahead of schedule, too. My father has revitalized rundown neighborhoods, shaped sky lines across the country and turned dreams into reality his entire career. Its what he does, its who he is. Oprah winfrey asked my father if he ever would run for presidency of the United States. His answer, only if it got so bad that i had no choice. Only if it got s no choice. Well, ladies and gentlemen, that day has come. As i travel the world with my dad building the greatest golf courses and hotels, real estate projects, i see the unmistakable look in his eyes. I see the indignity and frustration of a domestic infrastructure back at home that is in complete disarray and no longer on par with so many other developed nations. I see in his eyes the sadness of innocent lives lost like jahmile shaw and so many others cut short by Illegal Immigrants in sanctuary cities, victims of a revolving door of government ineptitude and corruption that leaves innocent americans defenseless. [applause] i see in his eyes the humiliation of an Education System ranked 30th in the world. I see in nearly 400 billion trade imbalance with china. The 60 billion trade imbalance with mexico. And the destabilization of the middle east which has cost us trillions of dollars and thousands of lives. But today i see in his eyes a man who truly loves his country. Hes proud of his country. Who wants his country to be great again. [cheers applause] i want to thank my father over there for the life that he provided me. For the life that he provided my family and the life he all of our employees around the world. I want to thank my father for the life that hes enabled me to provide for my future children as my wife laura and i start thinking about that amazing chapter of our lives. To that end, i think about the legacy i wish to leave my children. And to me, theres few things that i hold closer to my heart than charity. For me, its the essence of who we are as human beings. Its the barometer by which we will be measured for our time here on earth. As Martin Luther king jr. Once said, lifes most persistent and urging question is what are you doing for others . When i was 22 years old, i founded the air Trump Foundation to benefit st. Judes research hospital, an incredible, incredible organization. I run my principles my father taught me. Honesty, integrity and values. I expect other charities to be run by the same moral code, not serve as conduit for personal enrichment. Not become a beacon of corruption and scandal. To whom much is given, much will be required. This is the very belief that compelled my father to make this great sacrifice to run for the most powerful yet unforgiving offense in the world. There is no greater calling. There is no more selfless an act. To the unemployed voter sitting at home, watching me right now, wondering how youre going to make your next mortgage payment or rent payment, my father is running for you. To speech from his or her hospital, who has been ignored by an ungrateful system for far too long, my father is running for you. To the school teacher, forced to walk through metal detectors every day into an underfunded school, my father is running for you. [applause] to the laborer watching me right now, forced out of a job by undocumented workers, Illegal Immigrants, my father is running for you. To the oil and gas industry worker, denied a job because of radical regulations from a radical epa, my father is running for you. To single mothers, to families with special needs children, to middle class families that can no longer afford medical benefits, sufficient to cover their everyday needs, my father is running for you. [applause] this november i ask you to be true to yourself and vote for the candidate who you know is running for the right reasons. Vote for the candidate who has never been a politician. Vote for the candidate who has never received a paycheck from our government. Vote for the candidate who cant be bought, sold, purchased, bribed, coerced, intimidated or steered from the path that is right and just and true. Quite frankly, friends, vote for the one need this job. Never have i been more proud to be a trump. Never have i been more proud to be my fathers son. Im incredibly honored to be part of this journey to which hes invited me, don, ivanka, tiffany, my beautiful wife, laura, our entire family, to play such an integral part. Dad, you have once again taught us by example, you are my hero, you are my best friend, you are the next president of the United States. [cheers applause] god bless america. And that was Donald Trumps 32yearold son, eric, convention. You can see his father there who has made a completely unexpected appearance to sit in the audience. His entry to the hall, norah, was very controversial in the way it was timed. Well, ted cruz, who donald trump famously called lying ted, went off script, went off script telling the delegates to vote their conscious up and down the ticket. He did not endorse donald trump. The delegates booed. Heidi cruz was escorted out by security. One protester shouted Goldman Sachs at her. So who stole the show . Donald trump walking in. John dickerson at the podium witnessed this. Another day of drama here, john. Yeah, actually i think in a later transcript of the speech, he actually the conscious line is in there but they didnt like it in the new york delegation and anywhere around here. Donald trump appears to have talk to his son, eric, who was making the case for his father. Theres been a lot of talk about judge the fruits by the tree. And one of the lines in eric trumps speech, my father taught honesty and integrity. Thats the way i run my foundation and every foundation should be run that way. A direct shot at the Clinton Foundation without naming it. Now another development, the power has gone out here. The delegates have to watch the actual speakers themselves, not the big monitors on which they have been displayed. So a little bit of excitement with donald trump arriving and a little technical issue. The power remains on, john. Thank you. But all the Video Systems in the entire hall have gone down. All the giant screens. Were told its a technical issue with theeo the hall. Gayle king is down there on the floor. Gayle . Scott, theyre making all kinds of jokes on the floor like how come nobody played the bell . What happened . Didnt they know the convention was happening . When ted cruz did not endorse donald trump, i had been sitting with the indiana delegation, is he going to endorse or now . Many thought he would. When he didnt, everybody booed. The indiana delegation has to be the most Excited Group in the house. Thats because theres 57 of them and they say america, get ready. They believe their governor mike pence is going to put on quite a show. They say the bigger the crowd, the bigger the stage, the better he is. They believe hes going to knock it out of the park. Well see in just a few minutes. Norah and scott . Gayle, thank you. Were going to have all of the action from the Republican National convention when we return from cleveland. That truly loves his country, who is proud of his country. Who wants his country to be great again a vote for anyone other than donald trump in november is a vote for Hillary Clinton. On my longterm control medicine. I talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment with breo. Oncedaily breo prevents asthma symptoms. Breo is for adults with asthma not well controlled on a longterm asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. Breo wont replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. Breo opens up airways to help improve breathing for a full 24 hours. Breo contains a type of medicine that increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization in children and adolescents. Breo is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on a roid. Once your asthma is well controlled, your doctor will decide if you can stop breo and prescribe a different asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. Do not take breo more than prescribed. See your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. Ask your doctor if 24hour breo could be a missing piece for you. See if youre eligible for 12 months free at mybreo. Com. Norah odonnell. Newt gingrich has taken the stage, the former speaker of the house that led republicans to their first House Majority in 40 years back in 1994. Before we listen in to newt gingri, norah, quite a controversy earlier. Ted cruz came out to speak to the crowd. He got a big standing ovation when he came out. Late in his speech, he told the people here vote your conscious in november. That did not remember, ted cruz got more delegates than any other republican than since 1976, Ronald Reagan. He got a lot of pledged delegates he didnt let go. He clearly doesnt want to endorse donald trump for president. Does that mean that ted cruz has overshadowed the big debut of mike pence before the American People . The man that theyre trying to introduce as Donald Trumps running mate and one of the chief executives in the Trump Administration . Trump came in and stepped on the end of ted cruzs speech and stole the show. Were going to the floor now and visit with gayle king who has been talking to some of the delegates there. Gayle . Ive been talking to them all evening long, norah and scott. They say this is the biggest speech of mike pences career. They say that theyre not nervous. He will deliver. Many people say who is this he likes to draw caricatures, he is a family man and a great human. Its like the song from the king and i, getting to know you, getting to know all about you. Were talking about the king and i, getting to know you, getting to know all about you. You say mike pence is a man of honesty. You say mike pence is . A man of integrity. When donald trump first appointed mike pence, what was your first reaction . I couldnt be more excited and proud to be a hoosier and a republican. Proud of our governor, proud of our friend, mike pence and proud to be here today. You say they have wildly different styles but they make a good couple. They make a great team. They have wildly different styles. How so . Theyre different in terms of mannerisms, world views, the way they approach problems and running a team. Those differences will lend themselves out not only to the campgn president and Vice President of the United States. Their temperaments are different . Very different. Donald is very much outgoing and very much flamboyant in his personality. Mike is more reserved. Very much on the rls and just moving forward very deliberate in his approach. You said that hes not ego driven. No, hes is a true public servant. He loves his job as governor. He said he felt like this was a higher calling and he does it for the right reason. Lets think about ted cruz for a second. Why did you think he did not endorse donald trump tonight . Im thrilled he was here. Hes a great republican but i was disappointed. It was a missed opportunity for him personally and for the party as well. All right. Thank you very much, norah and scott. They say when the time is right, well get to meet mike pence, well be going hooray, on day three of the convention, questions about you unity in the republic can party. Major garrett is on the floor with more. Hi, norah and scott. Were deep in the heart of texas, the
