[0:37] Yeah.

[0:39] D.

[0:50] >> Story on CBS4 News at 11.

[0:53] >> If all goes well, you're looking at the

[0:56] next president of the United States.

[0:58] Bush rings in

[1:01] >> and sings out as he arrives in

[1:03] Philadelphia to claim the Republican

[1:05] nomination. Tonight, his running mate

[1:08] takes center stage.

[1:10] >> A health scare for a former president

[1:13] and Andy Rooney spends a few minutes

[1:15] with the delegates to find out what is a

[1:18] Republican.

[1:34] campaign 2000, the Republican National

[1:38] Convention

[1:40] from the First Union Center in

[1:42] Philadelphia. Here is Dan R.

[1:45] Good evening. Down there behind me, the

[1:47] convention delegates are voting to

[1:49] officially name George Walker Bush, the

[1:52] governor of Texas, as their candidate

[1:54] for president of the United States. The

[1:57] roll call, followed by a big

[1:58] demonstration on the floor. Bush has

[2:01] arrived here in Philadelphia, arrived

[2:02] this morning. He will deliver his

[2:04] acceptance speech tomorrow night.

[2:06] Everything here pre-planned and

[2:08] presscripted, and the script tonight

[2:10] calls for Bush's handpicked choice for

[2:13] vice president. The delegates had

[2:15] nothing to do with the choice. Dick

[2:16] Cheney of Wyoming to officially accept

[2:19] the nomination he received officially

[2:21] just a few minutes ago accepted in a

[2:23] speech Cheney would deliver to these

[2:25] delegates and to the national television

[2:27] audience during this hour.

[2:29] >> Now late word is that Cheney intends to

[2:32] deliver some pretty strong attacks on

[2:35] the Clinton Gore years.

[2:38] >> Our Bob Sheep was down on the podium.

[2:39] Bob, what do you hear about that? Well,

[2:41] Dan, as latest today, people were

[2:43] leading us to believe, people including

[2:45] Dick Cheny's wife, that he would not

[2:46] take the usual attack dog role of the

[2:49] vice president. But we just been given a

[2:51] copy of the speech. And this is not an

[2:53] attack speech. He certainly is going to

[2:55] put the needle to the Clinton Gore

[2:58] administration tonight. And he does it

[3:00] in in some places in a very odd way. He

[3:03] takes some lines that Al Gore used uh in

[3:07] 1992 talking about the Bush

[3:09] administration. At one point he says,

[3:11] "It's time for these people to go."

[3:13] That's exactly what Al Gore was saying

[3:15] in '92. It will be interesting to hear

[3:18] Dick Cheney deliver this speech. I don't

[3:20] think I've ever heard him deliver a

[3:22] political speech. This will be, if he

[3:25] delivers it well, a very good one. Thank

[3:27] you, Dan.

[3:28] >> Bob Sheeper, six minutes man Ed Bradley

[3:31] of CBS News is down among the delegates

[3:33] again tonight. Ed, so far this evening,

[3:35] Dick Cheney has been nominated vice

[3:37] president by acclamation. George Bush is

[3:40] in the process of officially going over

[3:42] the top in the roll call for the

[3:43] presidential nomination. Is there an air

[3:46] of anticipation down there or is it more

[3:48] simply celebration?

[3:49] >> No, Dan, there is an air of anticipation

[3:51] here. But these delegates realize that

[3:53] for George Bush, there are a lot of

[3:55] steps on the road to the White House

[3:56] where he has to demonstrate his ability

[3:59] at leadership. One of them on display

[4:00] tonight with Mr. Cheney making a speech,

[4:03] his choice of a man to complement his

[4:04] weaknesses, someone with an area of

[4:06] expertise in foreign policy and an

[4:08] ability to show that he can work with

[4:11] the Congress. Another big step for

[4:13] George W. Bush will come tomorrow when

[4:15] in his remarks he will have to deliver

[4:17] what used to be called that vision

[4:19] thing. And then probably Dan, the

[4:20] biggest steps from here through the

[4:23] election when he will have to

[4:24] demonstrate in his effort to reach out

[4:26] to moderates and independents to show

[4:28] that this is a more inclusive Republican

[4:30] party that this is a continuing effort

[4:32] and not just talk at a convention. Dan

[4:36] Ed Bradley. Now, if you were watching

[4:38] our convention coverage last night, you

[4:40] saw former President Gerald Ford did.

[4:42] Mr. Ford is in the hospital tonight

[4:44] recovering from two mild strokes.

[4:48] Uh, and we're going to tell you about

[4:49] that in a moment. But this is a live

[4:52] pool picture right now of George W. Bush

[4:55] watching the convention from his hotel

[4:57] suite here in Philadelphia.

[5:01] He's now officially the nominee of the

[5:02] party. Handshake.

[5:05] It's over the top. All of this, of

[5:08] course, is frankly the benefit of the

[5:10] television show. He went over the top

[5:12] when he won the primaries months ago.

[5:15] But this is part of the ritual.

[5:18] Laura Bush, who delivered such a good

[5:21] speech on Monday night,

[5:24] matching her husband's likability

[5:26] quotient to many people who saw and

[5:28] heard her for the first time on an

[5:29] extensive basis.

[5:42] Great set of pictures there. former

[5:44] President Bush and his wife Barbara down

[5:47] in the lower corner for a while

[5:50] up in the upper corner of the picture

[5:51] you see now. And that closeup

[5:55] I suggest you look closely at the eyes,

[5:58] what some people call the triangle of

[5:59] the face, the eyes running out through

[6:01] the nose and mouth. Sometimes

[6:05] George W. Bush looks a little tense in

[6:07] there. Now it's returning to that. But

[6:09] when he went over the top and it was

[6:11] official, he's the party's nominee,

[6:16] well, it said it

[6:19] along the lines of

[6:21] how good it is.

[6:28] A son of a president

[6:30] driving to get the nomination and now he

[6:33] has it. Well, as the celebration goes

[6:35] on, we'll check in quickly on the

[6:37] condition when there's good news about

[6:39] the condition of former President Gerald

[6:42] Ford, who's 87 years old. CBS's Phil

[6:44] Jones has the latest about him. Phil,

[6:47] what can you tell us from from the

[6:48] hospital?

[6:50] >> Dan, what we can tell you is that the

[6:52] officials here say that the former

[6:53] president will probably remain in this

[6:56] Philadelphia hospital for 5 to 6 days.

[6:59] He came here last night after attending

[7:01] the convention. He was complaining about

[7:03] having pain in the right side of his

[7:05] face and that his tongue hurt. Doctors

[7:08] will only say that he was treated

[7:10] appropriately and released at his

[7:13] request. Then he came back to the

[7:16] hospital this morning and he was

[7:18] complaining of having trouble with his

[7:20] balance and slurred speech. It was then

[7:23] that they ran some tests and discovered

[7:25] that he had had a stroke probably a

[7:27] couple days ago and then another one

[7:30] last night. But the good news is that

[7:32] the doctors say that he should fully

[7:35] recover. Dan

[7:36] >> Phil Jones. Well, the good news here

[7:38] inside the convention hall for backers

[7:40] of George W. Bush is it's all official

[7:42] formally settled now. Bush is the

[7:45] nominee. That's what the celebration is

[7:47] all about down there. Those balloons,

[7:50] they they're going to drop some things

[7:52] later on. All the hooplaw and the

[7:54] shouting tumult and the hoaying

[7:59] is on the surface, but deep down the

[8:02] parties, Democrat as well as Republican,

[8:03] have turned what used to be nominating

[8:05] conventions into kind of combination

[8:09] celebrations and giant fundraisers. Much

[8:12] of what the conventions today are about

[8:15] is money. Big special interest money.

[8:17] Money that buys influence by financing

[8:19] conventions and campaigns. Ed Bradley is

[8:21] going to report on the big money core of

[8:23] this convention in a moment. So stay

[8:25] here with us.

[8:32] CBS News coverage of the Republican

[8:34] National Convention is sponsored in part

[8:36] by Benadril, the histamin blocker.

[8:43] It's allergy season again. Where should

[8:46] you turn for relief? benadryil

[8:49] or the leading prescription. It may

[8:52] surprise you to know medical studies

[8:54] prove histamine blocking benadryil to be

[8:56] a full 54% more effective than the

[8:59] leading prescription. 54% more effective

[9:02] at relieving even your worst allergy

[9:04] symptoms like runny noses. It's a real

[9:07] eye opener, isn't it? Benadryil proven

[9:10] 54% more effective.

[9:13] No matter what you think of America's

[9:15] tobacco companies, the fact is at Philip

[9:18] Morris, we're changing the way we do

[9:20] business. To settle state lawsuits, we

[9:23] signed a tobacco settlement agreement in

[9:25] 1998 that provides the states over $200

[9:28] billion and restricts the marketing of

[9:30] tobacco products. The agreement bans all

[9:33] tobacco company billboards in transit

[9:35] advertising. No more tobacco logos on

[9:38] clothing or merchandise. and no more

[9:41] cartoon characters selling cigarettes.

[9:44] The agreement strictly prohibits

[9:45] marketing tobacco products to kids and

[9:48] provides 1.5 billion dollars to fund

[9:51] youth antismoking ads and education. We

[9:54] know some may question our commitment,

[9:56] so the agreement gives your state

[9:58] attorney general independent enforcement

[10:00] authority to ensure compliance, but

[10:03] don't take our word for it. Call for a

[10:05] copy of the tobacco settlement agreement

[10:08] because things are changing. And at

[10:10] Philip Morris, we wanted you to know.

[10:15] >> This recipe has been in my family for

[10:17] centuries.

[10:17] >> Yes, we know.

[10:18] >> Ever try to fill a regular plastic bag?

[10:21] Not too easy, huh?

[10:24] >> Messy.

[10:26] Yuck.

[10:26] >> Now there's a better way. The new easy

[10:29] fill bag from Ziplo. The one and only

[10:31] bag that stands up, stays open, and

[10:33] closes zip lock tight.

[10:36] >> The new Ziploc easy fill bag in two easy

[10:39] to fill sizes. SC Johnson, a family

[10:41] company.

[10:43] >> To win during the Olympic Games takes

[10:46] skill, heart, and determination. To win

[10:49] before they start takes a visit to your

[10:51] Buick dealer during the Buick US Olympic

[10:53] countdown. Get up to $3,000 closeout

[10:55] cash on select new 2000 Buicks. The

[11:02] The peace of mind of Lasaber. The

[11:06] Spark Avenue Ultra. See your Buick

[11:08] dealer now because when the Olympics

[11:10] end, the 2000 Buick you want could be

[11:12] history.

[11:13] >> What the hell is going on in this city?

[11:15] >> To win the war on crime.

[11:17] >> Put up everything. Auto thefts, rapes,

[11:19] burglaries, murders.

[11:20] >> First, you have to believe you can.

[11:23] >> We're going to make this city livable

[11:25] for all of its citizens. Police Chief

[11:27] Jack Manion is about to change the face

[11:29] of crime fighting forever.

[11:31] >> I think together we can make this the

[11:33] finest police force in the country.

[11:36] Craig T. Nelson.

[11:37] >> We are talking about people's lives.

[11:39] >> The district coming this fall to CBS.

[11:45] CBS's 60 Minutes man Bradley is ready

[11:47] now for some perspective for you about

[11:49] the big money heart of this convention.

[11:52] Ed. Dan, the people who run this

[11:55] convention would like us to focus at all

[11:56] times on what's going on at the podium,

[11:59] on the floor, on the giant screens here.

[12:01] But there's another level of activity

[12:03] that is closed. Closed even to most of

[12:05] the delegates here. Certainly closed to

[12:07] reporters. It's about two or three

[12:08] levels up. We can get some pictures of

[12:11] it with the basket cameras, and we were

[12:13] able to obtain some pictures earlier

[12:14] today. They are the private suites that

[12:16] are open to individuals and to

[12:18] corporations who are the big money

[12:20] donors to the party. At the top level,

[12:22] you'll find people who are called

[12:24] regents. Those are people who have given

[12:26] uh $250,000

[12:28] to the party. We met a woman the other

[12:30] night who told us that her husband had

[12:31] raised over a million dollars for the

[12:33] Bush campaign. They get choice seating

[12:36] here in the hall. They have plenty of

[12:37] food and drink, and they get to have

[12:39] access to private social events with top

[12:42] Republicans, including George W. Bush.

[12:45] When John McCain ran against special

[12:47] interest money, this is just what he had

[12:49] in mind. But you as you sure know that

[12:52] this is not a uniquely Republican event.

[12:54] In a few days, the faces will change,

[12:57] but the same thing will take place in

[12:59] Los Angeles with the Democrats. Dan

[13:01] >> Ed Bradley, thanks. Now, there's a lot

[13:02] more of the fundraising going on than

[13:04] just the regions. And CBS News special

[13:06] correspondent Gloria Borgger has some

[13:09] context on about that sentence. Gloria

[13:12] >> Dan. In fact, this uh whole convention

[13:14] is actually one big fundraiser. And

[13:16] that's because there are no limits on

[13:18] that so-called soft money, which is the

[13:20] unregulated money that the parties can

[13:22] raise in huge amounts. So far, the

[13:24] Republicans have raised $137 million.

[13:27] They'll have tens of millions more by

[13:29] the time this convention is over. In

[13:31] fact, that is why the Republicans are

[13:34] actually contesting California very

[13:36] hard. There's a lot of lucrative soft

[13:38] money out there. They don't want to turn

[13:40] off those spiggots too early, Dan. But

[13:42] John McCain is going out with George

[13:44] Bush to California next week. He's put

[13:46] the Bush campaign on notice that he will

[13:48] not raise that soft money for them

[13:50] because that's the money he wants to

[13:52] outlaw. And and one more point to uh to

[13:54] add to Ed about the Democrats. In fact,

[13:57] it's very interesting to me that the

[13:59] person they've chosen to run their

[14:00] Democratic convention is their party's

[14:03] chief fundraiser. Dan

[14:04] >> Gloria Bor. This will be the United

[14:07] States of America's first $1 billion

[14:10] presidential campaign. Up next, we set

[14:13] Andy Rooney loose among the delegates.

[14:18] >> Well, I'm a pollen, dust, cats. He's a

[14:22] dog's elm tree mold. He's your classic

[14:26] mold.

[14:27] >> Most people with allergies have indoor

[14:29] and outdoor allergies. Among leading

[14:31] prescription antihistamines, only Zerek

[14:33] is approved to treat both year round

[14:34] indoor and outdoor allergies. Talk to

[14:37] your doctor to learn about prescription

[14:38] Zerek. In studies, drowsiness was the

[14:41] most common side effect. Others included

[14:42] fatigue and dry mouth. Most were mild or

[14:44] moderate. Zerek, lots of allergies, just

[14:47] one pill. Here's your regular internet

[15:04] >> So, there's one guaranteed winner every

[15:06] day.

[15:07] >> I'd definitely choose this one.

[15:08] >> Would you consider telling your friends

[15:09] about this?

[15:11] >> No.

[15:15] >> I won.com.

[15:17] Why wouldn't you?

[15:19] >> Thanks for making a leave. For almost 5

[15:21] years, I often had a hard time walking.

[15:24] I went from doctor to doctor and even

[15:26] had surgery on both knees. Most pain

[15:28] relievers worked for a while, then quit

[15:30] and the pain came back. Finally, a

[15:33] doctor suggested a leave. Soon, I could

[15:36] dance all night again.

[15:38] >> A leave can stop pain all day with just

[15:40] two pills. It would take eight Tylenol

[15:42] to do that.

[15:43] >> Now people say I'm a walking

[15:44] advertisement for a leave.

[15:45] >> All day strong, all day long.

[15:48] >> I wasted way too much time being fat. I

[15:51] would go up and down and up and down.

[15:53] Look at me. I lost over 50 lbs on this

[15:56] one fast plan and I kept it off for over

[15:58] 3 years. I didn't know I looked like

[16:00] this underneath. It's not only about

[16:01] being thin. It's about feeling good and

[16:03] having energy. I exercise. I eat right.

[16:06] I have a shake for lunch every day. It

[16:08] helps me stay this way. If you know your

[16:10] ABCs, you know the vitamins in Slim

[16:12] Fast. It's a fun way of rejuvenating

[16:14] your body.

[16:15] >> Slim Fast everyday. Get healthy.

[16:17] >> It can happen to you. There's something

[16:19] new under the sun. Creamy fruit spreads

[16:22] made for everyone.

[16:24] >> New Brolin Brown creamy fruit spreads

[16:26] whipped with real fruit and wholesome

[16:28] yogurt.

[16:30] >> Must be Brolin Brown in the dairy case.

[16:36] >> Well,

[16:37] >> I asked my doctor about Lipur.

[16:39] >> Ask your doctor what Lipur can do for

[16:42] you or call 1888 Lipur to learn more.

[16:46] Lipur.

[16:48] >> I just can't do it anymore.

[16:51] >> We may have our suicide note.

[16:53] >> That's not my son's voice.

[16:57] >> Call 911.

[16:59] >> Somebody stood over him and

[17:02] >> Whoever said dead men tell no tales.

[17:05] >> Wait a minute.

[17:05] >> What's the matter?

[17:06] >> Left shoes tied differently.

[17:07] >> Never met these crime scene

[17:09] investigators.

[17:10] >> Follow the evidence.

[17:11] >> Oh, sure.

[17:13] >> There is always a clue. CSI coming to

[19:10] >> The story on CBS4 News at 11.

[19:15] There are more than 4,000 delegates down

[19:17] there on the convention floor tonight.

[19:19] More than 4,000 Republicans. But did you

[19:22] ever wonder what exactly is a Republican

[19:25] or a Democrat for that matter? Andy

[19:27] Rooney did.

[19:31] When you talk to almost anyone about

[19:33] almost anything, it's easy to tell

[19:35] whether they're Republicans or

[19:36] Democrats. It's harder to understand

[19:38] why. I talked to a lot of delegates here

[19:41] who didn't seem like million-dollar

[19:43] contributors to the Republican party to

[19:45] me.

[19:45] >> If you could add up all the money that

[19:48] all the Republicans in the country have

[19:50] and all the money that all the Democrats

[19:53] have, the Republicans would have a

[19:55] bigger sum of money, wouldn't they?

[19:56] >> I would think so, because they're the

[19:58] working people.

[20:04] Here

[20:09] we go.

[20:12] >> Well, unfortunately, we've had a little

[20:13] technical difficulty there. Uh we'll try

[20:16] to pick up Andy Rooney somewhere along

[20:17] the line. In the meantime, we're going

[20:19] to take a commercial break. And the

[20:20] reason we're going to do that, we want

[20:22] to make sure that you hear in its

[20:24] entirety the Dick Cheney speech at this

[20:27] convention. A little buzz is developing

[20:29] convention because Dick Cheneyy's speech

[20:32] as it's been pre-released reads as a

[20:35] pretty hard-hitting attack. On the other

[20:37] hand, pretty reassuring. So, we want to

[20:40] stick around and hear it. Right now,

[20:42] we'll take a break and be right back.

[23:01] overweight, unhealthy. I wanted a good

[23:04] life and I needed a healthy way to get

[23:05] there. I lost over 50 lbs on the Slim

[24:13] Back at the Republican convention in

[24:15] Philadelphia. Just about everybody,

[24:17] including Democrats, agrees that Dick

[24:20] Cheney is a good and decent man with a

[24:22] terrific resume. Basically, as a

[24:25] longtime Washington insider. However,

[24:28] there beginning to be some questions

[24:30] asked among some Republicans privately

[24:32] about how strong a campaigner he is. Bob

[24:35] Sheverer developed this story and has

[24:37] more about it now. Bob.

[24:38] >> Well, Dan, I think what you're going to

[24:40] see here tonight, depending on how he

[24:42] delivers the speech, this speech,

[24:44] because the test of a speech, is how it

[24:46] is delivered and how it's received. But,

[24:48] the speech we're going to hear tonight

[24:50] is something unlike you've ever heard

[24:52] Dick Cheney uh talk about. It is much

[24:54] more political than the usual speech.

[24:56] those who remember him as Secretary of

[24:58] Defense talking about weighty world

[25:00] matters and all of that. You're not

[25:02] going to see that tonight. You're going

[25:03] to see a cleverly written speech in

[25:05] which he really needles the Clinton Gore

[25:08] administration. And he's going to make

[25:10] every effort tonight to tie Al Gore to

[25:13] Bill Clinton. So, this will be a

[25:15] different Dick Cheney, I think, than

[25:17] anybody in America has seen, except

[25:19] perhaps those who saw him campaign when

[25:21] he ran for Congress way back in those

[25:23] years in Wyoming. Wyoming people may

[25:26] know the Dick Cheney we're going to hear

[25:28] tonight. And maybe they've heard a

[25:29] speech like this, but I don't think

[25:31] anybody else in America has heard quite

[25:34] Dick Cheney in quite the way you're

[25:35] going to hear him tonight.

[25:36] >> As Bob reported on this evening's CBS

[25:38] Evening News is some of the Republicans

[25:40] beginning to say, "Well, look, I like

[25:42] the guy, but he he needs to pick up

[25:43] pace. He's campaigning." Apparently,

[25:45] that's what he's going to try to do here

[25:46] in just a few minutes. Roy Bour, there's

[25:48] always a sort of pep rally feel to these

[25:51] conventions.

[25:52] >> Yeah. But but I think before this moment

[25:54] right now, it seemed as if these

[25:56] Republicans were at a pep rally, only

[25:57] they weren't allowed to mention the

[25:59] other team that they're fighting

[26:00] against. And so finally tonight, uh from

[26:03] what we've heard, we're going to get a

[26:05] speech in which Dick Cheney is going to

[26:07] mention the team that they want to beat.

[26:09] And I think that uh that these

[26:11] convention goers are going to be really

[26:12] ready for this kind of a speech.

[26:14] >> Gloria Boura. Next, Dick Cheney is going

[26:18] to be addressing this convention in a

[26:20] few moments. introduced by his wife. And

[26:24] here he is.

[26:39] Big Cheney like George Bush went to

[26:41] Yale. Unlike George Bush, he did not

[26:44] graduate from Yale.

[26:47] He uh went for a year and then dropped

[26:50] out.

[26:51] later picked up his education,

[26:55] did everything but the dissertation for

[26:57] a PhD. Former President George Bush,

[26:59] who's been very much in evidence here

[27:01] along with Barb the last several nights

[27:04] at the convention.

[27:08] Chenny got his start as a behind

[27:10] thescenes Washington politician

[27:14] working for a then young congressman Don

[27:16] Rumsfeld. When Rumsfell moved to the

[27:19] White House to work in the Richard Nixon

[27:22] White House, he in effect brought Dick

[27:24] Cheney along with him.

[27:27] Cheney later became chief of White House

[27:30] staff under the now ailing President

[27:33] Gerald Ford.

[27:37] He ran for Congress, served in the

[27:39] Congress for roughly a decade. He was

[27:41] chosen by George Bush the Elder to be

[27:45] George Bush's Secretary of Defense.

[27:51] Chenny was born January 30th, 1941.

[27:55] He suffered three heart attacks 1978,

[27:58] 1984, and 1988, and had bypass surgery

[28:01] in 1988.

[28:19] Thank you.

[28:26] Thank you.

[28:29] Thank you very much,

[28:39] Mr. Chairman, delegates and fellow

[28:41] citizens.

[28:43] I am honored by your nomination and I

[28:45] accept it.

[29:19] Before proceeding, I want to say a

[29:21] special word to President Ford.

[29:24] I wouldn't be here tonight if it wasn't

[29:27] for him and the trust and confidence he

[29:30] placed in me 25 years ago. And I know

[29:33] all of you want to join me in wishing

[29:36] him a very quick and speedy recovery.

[29:50] I want to thank you for giving such a

[29:51] warm welcome to Lynn and me and to our

[29:53] family. And to my friends in the Wyoming

[29:56] delegation, I especially want to thank

[29:59] you for your support.

[30:07] The first campaign stop that Lynn and I

[30:09] were privileged to make with Governor

[30:11] and Laura Bush was in our hometown of

[30:13] Casper, Wyoming, where Lyn and I

[30:16] graduated from high school some 41 years

[30:18] ago.

[30:20] The love and support and enthusiasm

[30:23] of people of our home state have boyed

[30:26] our spirits and strengthened our

[30:27] resolve.

[30:29] We are going to win this election.

[30:55] >> We will prevail.

[31:03] I have to tell you that I never expected

[31:06] to be in this position.

[31:08] Eight years ago, when I completed my

[31:10] service as Secretary of Defense, I

[31:13] loaded a U-Haul truck and drove home to

[31:15] Wyoming. I did not plan to return to

[31:19] public office.

[31:21] Lynn and I settled into a new private

[31:23] life. There was time for fishing and

[31:26] grandchildren and we were very content.

[31:30] But now I am glad to be back in the

[31:32] arena and I want to tell you why.

[31:43] I have been given an opportunity to

[31:45] serve beside a man who has the courage

[31:48] and the vision and the goodness to be a

[31:51] great president. Governor George W.

[31:54] Bush.

[32:08] I have been in the company of leaders. I

[32:11] was there on August 9th, 1974

[32:14] when Gerald Ford assumed the presidency

[32:17] during the gravest constitutional crisis

[32:19] since the Civil War. I saw how character

[32:23] and decency can dignify a great office

[32:26] and unite a great nation.

[32:37] I was a congressman when another man of

[32:39] integrity lived in the White House. I

[32:42] saw a president restore America's

[32:43] confidence and prepare the foundation

[32:45] for victory in the Cold War.

[32:56] I saw how one man's will can set a

[32:59] nation on a new course. And I learned

[33:02] the meaning of leadership from President

[33:04] Ronald Reagan.

[33:18] I left Congress to join the cabinet of

[33:21] President Reagan's successor. And I'm

[33:24] proud to say that I'm not the only man

[33:26] on this ticket who has learned from the

[33:28] example of President George Bush.

[33:43] I saw resolve in times of crisis, the

[33:46] steady hand that shaped an alliance and

[33:48] threw back a tyrant. He earned the

[33:50] respect and confidence of the men and

[33:53] women of America's armed forces.

[34:03] I have been in the company of leaders. I

[34:07] know what it takes and I see in our

[34:09] nominee the qualities of mind and spirit

[34:13] our nation needs and our history

[34:15] demands.

[34:25] Big changes are coming to Washington.

[34:45] To serve with this man in this cause is

[34:48] a chance I would not miss.

[34:54] This country has given us so much

[34:56] opportunity. When Len and I were growing

[34:58] up, we had so many blessings. We went to

[35:00] good public schools. We had fine,

[35:03] dedicated teachers. Our mothers, like

[35:06] our fathers, worked outside the home so

[35:07] we could go to college. We lived in a

[35:10] caring community where parents were

[35:12] confident that their children's lives

[35:14] could be even better than their own. And

[35:16] that is as it should be and as it can be

[35:19] again.

[35:34] We can make our public schools better.

[35:36] We can reform the tax code so that

[35:38] families can keep more of what they

[35:40] earn, more dollars that they can spend

[35:43] on what they value than on what the

[35:45] government thinks is important.

[35:56] We can restore the ideals of honesty and

[35:58] honor that must be a part of our

[36:00] national life if our children are to

[36:02] thrive.

[36:11] When I look at the administration now in

[36:13] Washington, I am dismayed by the

[36:16] opportunity squandered, saddened by what

[36:19] might have been but never was. These

[36:22] have been years of prosperity in our

[36:24] land, but little purpose in the White

[36:26] House.

[36:40] Bill Clinton vowed not long ago to hold

[36:42] on to power until the last hour of the

[36:45] last day. That is his right. But my

[36:49] friends, that last hour is coming.

[36:56] Heat.

[37:20] Heat.

[37:23] Heat.

[37:38] Heat.

[38:06] Heat. Heat.

[38:21] That last day is near.

[38:24] The wheel has turned and it is time. It

[38:27] is time for them to go.

[38:46] Al Bor said it's time for them to go

[38:48] eight times to his 1992 vice

[38:51] presidential acceptance speech in New

[38:53] York's Madison Square Garden.

[38:56] And what this demonstration is about is

[38:58] on quue cheering to underscore that

[39:01] Cheney is now turning that around on

[39:04] plenty.

[39:19] They are shouting it's time for them to

[39:21] go.

[39:24] This is the pep rally aspect of the

[39:28] television show production here. Written

[39:30] into Chinese speech. It's time for them

[39:33] to go.

[39:36] In his own lowkey manner, he delivered

[39:38] the line effectively.

[39:42] Cheering starts and the chant picks up.

[39:43] It's time for him to go. You'll hear it

[39:45] again before this is over. I'm going to

[39:46] back.

[39:48] >> George W. Bush will repair what has been

[39:50] damaged. He's a man without pretense,

[39:53] without cynicism,

[39:55] a man of principle, a man of honor.

[39:58] >> On the first hour of the first day, he

[40:01] will restore decency and integrity to

[40:03] the Oval Office.

[40:41] He will show us that national leaders

[40:43] can be true to their word and that they

[40:45] can get things done by reaching across

[40:47] the aisle and working with political

[40:49] opponents in good faith and common

[40:51] purpose. I know he will do these things

[40:56] because for the last 5 years I've

[40:58] watched him do them in Texas.

[41:12] George W. Bush came to the governor's

[41:14] office with a clear view of what he

[41:16] wanted to achieve.

[41:18] He said he would bring higher standards

[41:20] to public schools and he has.

[41:23] Walk into those schools today and you

[41:26] will see children with better scores,

[41:29] classrooms with better discipline,

[41:31] teachers with better pay.

[41:33] He pledged to reduce taxes and he has

[41:46] He did it twice with the biggest tax

[41:48] reduction in state history. And not only

[41:51] is the budget in balance, it's running a

[41:54] surplus of more than a billion dollars.

[42:07] He promised to reform the legal system,

[42:10] to get rid of junk lawsuits, and he has.

[42:20] Today, the legal system serves all the

[42:23] people, not just the trial lawyers.

[42:35] None of these reforms came easily. When

[42:38] he took office, both houses of the

[42:40] legislature were controlled by Democrats

[42:42] and the House of Representatives still

[42:44] is. But Governor Bush does not accept

[42:47] old lines of argument and division. He

[42:50] brings people together, reaching across

[42:52] party lines to do the people's business.

[42:55] He leads by conviction not calculation.

[42:59] You will

[43:09] you will never see him pointing the

[43:11] finger of blame for failure. You will

[43:13] only see him sharing the credit for

[43:15] success.

[43:25] That is exactly the spirit that is

[43:27] missing from Washington today.

[43:30] In the last 8 years, that city has often

[43:33] become a scene of bitterness and ill

[43:35] will and partisan strife.

[43:38] American politics has always been a

[43:40] tough business. Even in 1787 here in

[43:44] Philadelphia when George Washington

[43:46] himself wondered if delegates could ever

[43:48] agree on a constitution,

[43:51] they did agree as Americans always have

[43:54] when it mattered most, guided by the

[43:56] public interest and a decent regard for

[43:58] one another.

[44:00] But in Washington today, politics has

[44:03] become war by other means. An endless

[44:06] onslaught of accusation, a constant

[44:08] setting of groups, one against another.

[44:11] This is what Bill Bradley was up against

[44:14] and others before him.

[44:16] The Gore campaign, Senator Bradley said,

[44:19] is a thousand promises, a thousand

[44:22] attacks.

[44:24] We are all a little weary of the Clinton

[44:27] Gore routine.

[44:58] But the wheel has turned and it is time.

[45:01] It is time for them to go.

[45:33] You may want to know

[45:36] that Cheney is referring to Clinton

[45:38] Gore, not Clinton and Gore. In effect,

[45:41] making Clinton Al Gore's first name,

[45:44] Clinton Gore.

[45:45] >> In this election, they will speak

[45:46] endlessly of risk. We will speak of

[45:48] progress. They will make accusations. We

[45:51] will make proposals.

[45:54] They will feed fear. And we will appeal

[45:55] to hope.

[45:59] They will offer more lectures and

[46:01] legalisms and carefully worded denials.

[46:18] We offer another way, a better way, and

[46:21] a stiff dose of truth.

[46:34] For eight years, the achievement gap in

[46:36] our schools has grown worse. Poor and

[46:38] disadvantaged children falling further

[46:40] and further behind. For all of their

[46:43] sentimental talk about children, Clinton

[46:45] and Gore have done nothing to help

[46:47] children oppressed by bureaucracy,

[46:49] monopoly, and mediocrity.

[47:06] But those days are ending. When George

[47:08] W. Bush is president and I am vice

[47:10] president, test will be taken,

[47:15] results will be measured, schools will

[47:17] answer to parents, and no child will be

[47:20] left behind.

[47:36] Heat up here.

[48:10] For eight years, Clinton and Gore have

[48:13] talked about social reform, social

[48:15] security reform, never acting.

[48:19] never once offering a serious plan to

[48:21] save the system.

[48:23] In the time left to them, I have every

[48:25] confidence they'll go right on talking

[48:28] about it.

[48:32] >> Those days are passing, too.

[48:47] There will be no more spreading of fear

[48:49] and panic. No more dividing of

[48:52] generations against one another. No more

[48:55] delaying and excusem and sherking of our

[48:58] duties to the elderly.

[49:07] George W. Bush and I with the United

[49:10] Congress will save Social Security.

[49:33] For eight years, Clinton and Gore have

[49:36] extended our military commitments while

[49:38] depleting our military power. Rarely has

[49:42] so much been demanded of our armed

[49:44] forces and so little given to them in

[49:46] return.

[49:56] George W. Bush and I are going to change

[49:58] that, too.

[50:00] I have seen our military. I have seen

[50:03] our military at its finest with the best

[50:05] equipment, the best training, and the

[50:07] best leadership. I am proud of them. I

[50:10] have had the responsibility for their

[50:12] well-being, and I can promise them now.

[50:16] Help is on the way.

[50:24] Heat.

[50:29] Heat.

[51:07] Stand up.

[51:13] The shouts all the way, all the way. All

[51:15] the way.

[51:22] >> This police demonstration designed to

[51:24] set up the next line in a speech.

[51:30] >> Soon, our men and women in uniform will

[51:33] once again have a commander-in-chief

[51:35] they can respect.

[52:03] A commander and chief who understands

[52:05] their mission and restores their morale.

[52:09] And now

[52:11] as the man from Hope

[52:14] goes home to uh New park.

[52:38] Mr. Gore will try to separate himself

[52:41] from his leader shadow,

[52:44] but somehow we will never see one

[52:47] without thinking of the other.

[53:06] Does anyone, Republican or Democrat,

[53:10] seriously believe that under Mr. Gore

[53:13] the next four years would be any

[53:15] different from the last eight?

[53:21] If the goal is to unite our country, to

[53:24] make a fresh start in Washington, to

[53:25] change the tone of our politics,

[53:28] can anyone with conviction say that the

[53:31] man for that job is Al Gore?

[53:39] >> They came in together.

[53:41] Now, let us see them off together.

[54:07] Heat. Heat.

[54:12] More

[54:23] go

[54:25] more.

[54:40] Ladies and gentlemen,

[54:43] the wheel has turned and it is time. It

[54:46] is time for them to go.

[54:57] Heat.

[54:59] Heat.

[55:11] Heat. Heat.

[55:36] The pepper alley here is time to go and

[55:38] Let's go.

[56:10] This campaign will not be easy. Governor

[56:14] Bush and I face a real fight. We're

[56:16] ready for it.

[56:18] We We know the territory. We know the

[56:22] opposition. And we know what's at stake.

[56:25] >> We will give all we have to this cause.

[56:32] And in the end,

[56:35] in the end, with your help,

[56:38] George W. Bush will defeat this vice

[56:40] president and I will replace him.

[56:45] Heat up

[57:01] here.

[57:29] Ladies and gentlemen,

[57:33] we are so privileged to be citizens of

[57:36] this great republic.

[57:45] I was reminded of that time and again

[57:48] when I was in my former job as Secretary

[57:50] of Defense.

[57:52] I traveled a lot and when I came home,

[57:56] my plane would land at Andrews Air Force

[57:58] Base and I'd returned to the Pentagon by

[58:01] helicopter.

[58:04] When you make that trip from Andrews to

[58:05] the Pentagon and you look down on the

[58:08] city of Washington,

[58:10] one of the first things you see is the

[58:12] Capitol where all the great debates that

[58:15] have shaped 200 years of American

[58:17] history have taken place.

[58:20] You fly down along the mall and see the

[58:22] monument to George Washington, a

[58:24] structure as grand as the man himself.

[58:28] To the north is the White House where

[58:30] John Adams once prayed that none but

[58:33] honest and wise men may ever rule under

[58:36] this roof.

[58:50] Next you see the memorial to Thomas

[58:52] Jefferson, our third president and the

[58:54] author of our Declaration of

[58:56] Independence. You're watching special

[58:57] CBS news coverage of the national

[58:59] convention. Some stations now will

[59:01] return to regularly scheduled programs.

[59:03] Some of you in the we joining your local

[59:05] news. For the rest of you, our CBS News

[59:07] coverage to the Pentagon.

[59:10] >> But just before you settle down on the

[59:11] landing pad, you look out upon Arlington

[59:14] National Cemetery.

[59:16] It's gentle slopes and

[59:18] >> Tonight on CBS4 News, former President

[59:21] Gerald Ford is in the hospital after

[59:23] suffering two strokes. He never knew he

[59:25] had them. Fire sweeps through a South

[59:28] Florida home, killing two family pets. A

[59:31] mother speaks out in her son's defense

[59:33] after he's accused of beating up a boy

[59:35] because of his race. We're live. The man

[59:38] nominated to be the vice president on

[59:40] the GOP ticket center stage in

[59:42] Philadelphia. We'll have a live report.

[59:45] A snake handler is bitten on the job.

[59:47] Tonight, he's talking about the rush to

[59:49] get the antivenenom that saved his life.

[59:52] And would you know what to do if you

[59:54] came face to face with a shark? We'll

[59:57] have some advice in tonight's Survivor

[59:58] Month special report.

[60:01] >> Good evening. I'm Angel Ray.

[60:02] >> I'm Steve Wolfford. CBS4 News Tonight

[60:04] right here, right now.

[60:08] >> Now live, this is CBS4 News at 11.

[60:14] First at 11, it's the first indication a

[60:17] former president was having serious

[60:19] health problems,

[60:20] >> which uh well, I'm all for George W. I

[60:24] was from the very beginning. Gerald Ford

[60:26] slurring his speech hours before he's

[60:28] honored by his party. Tonight, Ford is

[60:31] hospitalized in Philadelphia.

[60:34] >> The country's 38th president suffered

[60:36] two strokes, but doctors say they were

[60:38] both minor.

[60:39] >> Tonight, his doctors expect to release

[60:41] him from the hospital in a few days.

[60:42] CBS4's Jim Bgamo is joining us now with

[60:45] the latest on Ford's condition. Jim,

[60:47] >> Steve and Angela, it was an important

[60:48] day at the convention for Gerald Ford

[60:50] yesterday. First, there was an

[60:51] enthusiastic welcome, then a video

[60:54] tribute followed by a standing ovation,

[60:56] but all that was followed by concern for

[60:59] his health.

[61:01] >> President and Mrs. Gerald Ford.

[61:05] 87year-old Gerald Ford spent a vigorous

[61:07] Tuesday acknowledging applause from

[61:09] delegates at the Republican National

[61:11] Convention in Philadelphia. While other

[61:13] VIPs left in golf carts, Ford and former

[61:16] first lady Betty walked to their car.

[61:19] Ford also did numerous interviews, and

[61:21] it was during those interviews, like

[61:22] this one with C-SPAN, that the former

[61:24] president's speech at times sounded

[61:27] slurred.

[61:28] >> Betty is wonderful. She's 82. Ford went

[61:31] to a local hospital complaining of

[61:32] headaches due to perhaps a sinus

[61:34] infection. But it wasn't until Ford

[61:36] returned to the hospital several hours

[61:38] later that doctors determined the former

[61:40] president had suffered at least one

[61:42] stroke possibly 2 days earlier.

[61:44] >> President Ford has had a small stroke.

[61:47] It's in the uh circulation at the base

[61:50] of the brain. He's uh doing well.

[61:52] >> He's has a little trouble with his

[61:54] speech, a little trouble with

[61:55] swallowing, but he should totally

[61:56] recover. Doctors spent Wednesday

[61:58] answering questions as to why Ford's

[62:01] condition wasn't properly diagnosed the

[62:03] first time.

[62:04] >> The care that was get appropriate was

[62:06] that was given last night was very

[62:07] appropriate for the symptoms that he had

[62:09] last night.

[62:11] >> Al Ford is doing so well he's nagging

[62:13] doctors to let him return to his

[62:14] Colorado home, but he'll likely remain

[62:16] in the hospital for at least another 5

[62:19] days. Jim Bamo, CBS4 News Tonight.

[62:21] Steve, back to you.

[62:22] >> Thank you, Jim. New at 11 tonight, a

[62:25] fire kills two pets in a Tamarack

[62:27] apartment building. Firefighters were

[62:28] called out to the Woodlands Meadow

[62:30] Complex. The four people who lived there

[62:32] weren't home at the time. A dog and a

[62:34] cat in the unit died of smoke

[62:36] inhilation. Investigators say that fire

[62:38] started in the kitchen. A tragic

[62:40] accident kills a three-year-old girl in

[62:42] Lauderdale Lakes. Police say the little

[62:44] girl ran into the path of a tow truck

[62:46] outside a store in Lauderdale Lakes. Her

[62:48] parents were inside the business when it

[62:50] happened. Charges are not being filed

[62:52] >> tonight. The mother whose teenage son is

[62:54] accused of brutally beating a student

[62:55] because of the color of his skin is

[62:57] speaking out. Police say three boys

[62:59] carried out the attack earlier this week

[63:01] during the victim's lunch hour. It

[63:03] happened right near Ruben Dario Middle

[63:05] School and tonight the victim is still

[63:07] recovering in the hospital. CBS 4's

[63:09] Julie Oclair is live in Kendall with

[63:10] more for us. Julie?

[63:12] >> Well, Angela David Cox Jr. is in stable

[63:14] condition here at Kendall Medical Center

[63:16] with severe injuries to his eye socket.

[63:18] Meanwhile, three other teens are in jail

[63:21] charged with attempted murder. And the

[63:22] mother and friend of one of those

[63:24] suspects speaking out tonight. They say

[63:26] he was in the wrong place at the wrong

[63:28] time. And this is all a mistake because

[63:29] they say he didn't do it.

[63:32] >> My my son innocent.

[63:34] >> Your son?

[63:35] >> Innocent.

[63:36] >> Brea only speaks a few words of English,

[63:39] but manages to say her son, 15-year-old

[63:42] Manuel Kande, is innocent. He and two

[63:44] other boys are charged with attempted

[63:45] murder for allegedly beating 14-year-old

[63:48] David Cox Jr. causing severe head

[63:50] injuries.

[63:51] >> My boy no partis and the

[63:56] fight.

[63:57] >> Uh-huh. Uh-huh. No partisan.

[63:58] >> Police say Cox was walking to summer

[64:00] school class at Ruben Dario Middle

[64:02] School when him along with Alexander

[64:05] Garcia and Christopher Frey, both 15.

[64:08] All they just came up to him and just

[64:10] asked him what school he attended and

[64:12] once he answered they went ahead and hit

[64:14] him and he tried to fight back but there

[64:16] were like five kids against him.

[64:18] >> Investigators are calling this a hate

[64:19] crime. They say one of the suspects had

[64:21] had problems with an African-American

[64:23] Miami Springs middle school student in

[64:25] the past and that they beat Cox up

[64:26] because he's also African-Amean and goes

[64:29] to the same Two.
