THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION.

BRANDIS FRIEDMAN DAY 2 OF THE CONVENTION IS KICKING OFF IN MILWAUKEE AND PUBLIC SAFETY IS IN THE SPOTLIGHT.

AND AMONG THE SPEAKERS TONIGHT, WE'LL HEAR FROM A NUMBER OF FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP'S PRIMARY OPPONENTS WHO ARE NOW BACKING HIM.

AND WE GO OUT TO AMANDA SHE'S KICKING OFF OUR TEAM COVERAGE LIVE AT PFIZER FORUM IN MILWAUKEE, WHERE THE CONVENTION IS TAKING PLACE.

AMANDA?

YES, BRAND IS.

EVENING'S CONVENTION IS REALLY JUST GETTING UNDERWAY.

DELEGATES, AS YOU SAID, SET TO HEAR FROM PRIMARY RIVAL NIKKI HALEY AS WELL AS REPUBLICAN LEADERS OF CONGRESS.

AND THEN WITH THE CAMPAIGN IS CALLING EVERY DAY AMERICANS, PARTICULARLY THOSE WHO'VE BEEN IMPACTED BY CRIME.

THE THEME OF TONIGHT IS MAKING AMERICA SAFE ONCE AGAIN, ASKED ILLINOIS'S INCOMING REPUBLICAN COMMITTEEWOMAN WHAT THAT MEANS TO HER.

ERICA, SAY JUST MEANS THAT, YOU KNOW, WE CAN LIVE ABOUT FREELY WITHOUT THE OF HAVING LOOK OVER OUR SHOULDERS.

THE NEWLY ADOPTED NATIONAL REPUBLICAN PLATFORM FOCUSES A LOT ON CLIMATE.

IT BLAMES ON MIGRANTS CROSSING THE SOUTHERN BORDER ILLEGALLY.

THE PLATFORM CALLS WERE LARGEST DEPORTATION OPERATION IN AMERICAN HISTORY AND FOR STOPPING WHAT IT CALLED THE MIGRANT CRIME EPIDEMIC.

IMMIGRATION.

ALSO A CHIEF CONCERN FOR CHAIR OF ILLINOIS'S DELEGATION TO THE RNC.

CONGRESSWOMAN MARY MILLER.

PEOPLE COME OVER BORDER, YOU TRAFFICKING.

TIME FOR OUR COUNTRY AND SAY I THINK IT'S TREASONOUS OF JOE BIDEN AND HIS.

ADMINISTRATION OPEN BORDERS INTO, BY THE WAY, ARE IMMIGRATION SATURDAY'S SHOOTING OF TRUMP AT HIS RALLY IN PENNSYLVANIA HIGHLIGHTS ANOTHER PUBLIC SAFETY CONCERN, GUN VIOLENCE.

THAT'S SOMETHING THAT HASN'T COME UP ALL THAT MUCH SO FAR HERE AT THE RNC VOTE.

WE ARE, OF COURSE, GOING TO BE LISTENING TO TONIGHT'S SPEAKERS TO SEE WHETHER CHICAGO AND IT'S GONE.

PROBLEMS BECOME A REPUBLICAN TALKING POINTS AS THEY HAVE FOR THE FORMER PRESIDENT IN THE PAST.

SOMETHING ELSE THAT I SPOKE WITH, NUMBERS OF ILLINOIS REPUBLICAN DELEGATION ABOUT AT THE MORNING MEETING ASKING DOES THAT SHOOTING ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT TRUMP CHANGE THEIR POSITION ON GUN CONTROL FROM A POLICY PERSPECTIVE, FIRST-TIME DELEGATE FROM A WORLD SAYS THE ANSWER'S NO.

I DON'T THINK THAT THERE'S SO MUCH MAJOR THAT HAS TO CHANGE EXCEPT FOR WE HAVE TO START ENFORCING THE LAWS.

YOU KNOW, I MEAN, WE SEEM TO GOTTEN AWAY FROM THAT AND GIVING EVERYBODY A PAST THAT IF YOU WANT TO STEAL WITHOUT WASN'T DOLLARS, IT'S OK IF YOU WANT TO WALK INTO A STORE AND WALK OUT MERCHANDISE, WHAT I'M GONNA CALL THE KIND THE COPS EARNING A SHOW UP.

WE'VE GOT TO GET BACK TO, YOU KNOW, BROKEN WINDOWS.

WE'VE GOT TO GET BACK TO, YOU KNOW, JUST ADDRESSING IT.

LAWS THAT ARE ALREADY ON THE BOOKS.

HE SAYS THAT THE MAN WHO SHOT FROM WAS TROUBLED AND THAT THERE IS NO GOVERNMENT POLICY AT THE STATE OR FEDERAL LEVEL THAT CAN CURE THAT.

OTHER MEMBERS OF ILLINOIS'S DELEGATION SHARE THAT VIEW AND SAY THAT IT'S REALLY A MATTER OF DOING MORE ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR A SEAT IN THE ILLINOIS HOUSE.

REAGAN DURING SAYS SHE STANDS FIRM IN BACKING THE SECOND SLEEP BETTER AT NIGHT.

KNOWING THAT I HAVE A LAWFUL WEAPON IN MY HOME THAT WILL ALLOW ME TO PROTECT MY FAMILY, MY CHILDREN, MY HOME.

BUT WE DO HAVE CRIMINALS THAT ARE TAKING THESE WEAPONS TO THE STREETS.

AND WE SEE THE NUMBERS IN CHICAGO IS JUST HEARTBREAKING.

I WISH THAT THE GOVERNOR WOULD DECLARE STATE OF EMERGENCY IN CHICAGO.

DEREK IS THE PLAINTIFF IN AN UNSUCCESSFUL LAWSUIT.

2 RIVERS ILLINOIS'S BAN ON AR 15 WEAPONS LIKE THE GUN THAT WAS USED TO SHOOT TRUMP.

NONE OF THE DELEGATES THAT I INTERVIEWED SAID THAT THEY ARE INTERESTED EVEN AFTER SATURDAY.

AND JOINING DEMOCRATS WHO'VE BEEN CALLING FOR SIMILAR FEDERAL ACTION TO BAN SO-CALLED ASSAULT WEAPONS RATHER.

HE SAID THAT THEY WERE EXCITED TO SEE TRUMP MAKE A SURPRISE APPEARANCE LAST NIGHT AND HE'S SHOWING UP DEMONSTRATES HIS RESILIENCE,
