EVERYONE.

THANKS FOR JOINING US ON THE WEEK IN REVIEW.

I'M AMANDA KEEP FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP SAYS AMERICANS NEED TO START EXPECT DEMAND RELENTLESS FEARLESS LEADERSHIP AND THAT HE'S THE ONE WHO CAN DELIVER IT.

WE ARE AMERICANS.

AMBITION IS OUR HERITAGE GREATNESS BIRTHRIGHT.

BUT AS LONG AS OUR ENERGIES ARE SPENT FIGHTING EACH OTHER, OUR DESTINY WILL REMAIN OUT OF REACH.

PROJECTING UNITY WHILE RELYING ON TO REGENT.

DEALING WITH.

WE VERY TOUGH.

VERY FIERCE PEOPLE.

THE FIERCE PEOPLE.

AND WE DON'T HAVE FEARS PEOPLE.

WE HAVE PEOPLE THAT ARE A LOT LESS THAN FIERCE EXCEPT WHEN IT COMES TO.

CHEATING ON ELECTIONS.

AND MAKING PIE IN THE SKY PROMISES.

WE'RE GOING TO GET TO THE CURE FOR CANCER AND ALZHEIMER'S AND SO MANY OTHER THINGS.

I WILL END THE DEVASTATING INFLATION CRISIS IMMEDIATELY.

BRING DOWN INTEREST RATES AND LOWER THE COST OF ENERGY.

TAKE A IS NOMINATION AT THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION COMING WITHIN A WEEK OF AN ATTEMPT ON TRUMP'S LIFE.

MEANWHILE, ILLINOIS IS MINORITY PARTY STRIVES FOR RELEVANCE.

AND WAS ONLY A MONTH BEFORE CHICAGO IS SET TO HOST THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION.

THE PARTY WILL NOMINATE TO FACE.

TRUMP IS AN OPEN QUESTION.

JOINING US FOR OUR WEEK IN REVIEW PANEL LOT OF HER W T TW NEWS REPORTERS THAT INCLUDES NICK BLUMBERG, HEATHER SHARON AND MATT MASTERSON.

PART OF OUR CONVENTION COVERAGE TEAM ALSO JOINED BY MIDWEST CORRESPONDENT FOR THE ECONOMIST DANIEL KNOWLES, WHO IS ALSO IN MILWAUKEE FOR THE RNC.

SO LET'S GET TO IT.

CAN YOU?

GOING TO GO WITH YOU?

FOR STARTERS?

IT TRUMP WANTS BACK IN THE WHITE HOUSE.

DID HE MAKE A STRONG CASE FOR THAT?

I YOU KNOW, I THINK THERE WAS LOT OF ANTICIPATION OF OF THE SPEECHES STUFF THAT'S GOING TO BE A NEW AND THAT IT WAS KIND OF THE TRUMP.

I'VE SEEN THAT SPEECH AND PARTICULARLY WHAT WAS FROM BEING IN THE ROOM WAS WATCHING THE TELEPROMPTER AND THEN WATCHING IT, STOP WHILE HERE AND KIND OF RIFT OFTEN, YOU KNOW WHY THE PRESIDENT OF HUNGARY IS SO THE PRIME MINISTER OF HUNGARY IS GREAT LIKED TO A THINGS LIKE THAT.

SO I THINK IT WAS.

HAVE STRESS APPOINTING TO REPUBLICANS HAVE BEEN REALLY HOPING FOR THIS BIG KIND OF BARNSTORMING THING THAT YOU KNOW, WITH WITH AT LEAST HOUSTON FOR FUN THE STRATOSPHERE AND MAKE HIM SEEM ABSOLUTELY.

THE ITSELF IS THE SAME.

DONALD TRUMP.

DOES THAT MATTER IF DONALD TRUMP AND STILL LOVE THE SPEECH IN ITS ONE, YOU'D PERHAPS HEARD SOMETHING VERY SIMILAR TO FOR SURE.

IF YOU ARE ALL IN ON DONALD TRUMP, NOT ONLY HAD YOU HEARD THAT SPEECH BEFORE YOU HAVE SIGNED UP FOR THAT ENTIRE SORT OF VERY YOU KNOW, DESCRIPTION OF AMERICA AND SORT OF OUR SOCIETY.

AND THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT YOU AGREE WITH.

NOW, IF YOU'RE A SWING VOTER IN WISCONSIN, PENNSYLVANIA, MICHIGAN, PERHAPS ARIZONA GEORGIA, I THINK IT'S AN OPEN QUESTION AS TO WHETHER THAT MESSAGE IS REALLY GOING TO COME ACROSS BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE ALL SEARCH CHUCKLED A LITTLE DANIEL MENTIONING HANNIBAL LECTER.

THAT IS NOT A NORMAL TOPIC FOR IT.

MENTION AND LET'S BE CLEAR.

HE WAS REFERRING TO HANNIBAL LECTER BECAUSE HE CONTINUES TO SPREAD THIS.

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY IS A FLAT OUT LIE THAT VENEZUELA AND OTHER SOUTH AMERICAN COUNTRIES ARE AND SEEING THEIR ASYLUMS AND SENDING CRIMINALS NORTH ACROSS OUR SOUTHERN BORDER.

AND THAT'S JUST SIMPLY FALSE.

AND IT IS PART OF SORT OF THIS DIVISIVENESS THAT I THINK MANY REPUBLICANS WERE HOPING TO SORT OF PAPER OVER OR PERHAPS PUSHED BACK INTO THE SHADOWS.

TRUMP.

PUT IT RIGHT IN THE SPOTLIGHT.

AND I THINK THAT THIS IS SORT OF THE DILEMMA OF THE NEWS MEDIA'S BEEN DEALING WITH, YOU KNOW, SINCE GOSH, 2015, LARRY U.S. ON SOME LEVEL THAT HE'S MENTIONING HANNIBAL LECTER RIGHT?

BUT HE GET THE MONEY RIGHT?

AND HE DEMONIZING A WHOLE GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO ARE COMING TO AMERICA, YOU KNOW, AND MANY HAVE REQUESTED ASYLUM BECAUSE OF ECONOMIC CATASTROPHE OR PERSECUTION.

AND HE'S HE'S SAYING THAT THEIR MURDERS IN AND, YOU KNOW, OTHER RAPISTS.

AND THIS IS EXACTLY THE DEBATE WE STARTED AS HE CAME DOWN THAT ESCALATOR IN TRUMP TOWER.

AT LEAST I THINK A CENTURY AND A HALF SO THAT IF THERE WAS A LOT BUILDUP THAT THIS WAS GOING TO MESSAGE OF INCLUSION AND THAT THERE WOULD BE A MESSAGE OF UNITY.

I BEFORE WE GET TOO MUCH FURTHER.

LET'S HEAR FROM TRUMP HIMSELF BECAUSE HE HE DID DO THAT TO A DEGREE.

AS AMERICANS.

WE ARE BOUND TOGETHER BY A SINGLE FATE AND A SHARED DESTINY.

WE RISE TOGETHER.

WE FALL APART.

I AM RUNNING TO BE PRESIDENT FOR ALL OF AMERICA, NOT HALF OF AMERICA BECAUSE SO NICK, THERE WAS SOME OF THAT AGAIN, IS THERE ENOUGH WITHIN THIS SPEECH WITHIN PERHAPS REDEFINED TRUMP?

IF THAT'S IN FACT, WHAT THE CAMPAIGN IS GOING FOR TO GET TO THESE MODERATE TO MAYBE SAY I'M NOT HAPPY WITH HOW THINGS ARE GOING.

ALRIGHT, I'LL TRY HIM I THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE A TOUGH ROAD FOR THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN BECAUSE WE DID IN THE FIRST, YOU KNOW, 10 OR 15 MINUTES.

HEAR FROM SOMEONE WHO WAS PERHAPS MORE REFLECTIVE SPEAKING ABOUT FAITH, SPEAKING ABOUT HIS FEELING THAT, YOU KNOW, GOD SPARED HIM FROM BEING KILLED, BUT THEN HE PRETTY QUICKLY VEERED OFF INTO SORT OF A GREATEST HITS.

YOU KNOW, AS AS MENTIONED, THINGS THAT WE'VE HEARD BEFORE, AND I DO THINK, YOU KNOW, THE IDEA OF UNITY IS INTERESTING BECAUSE CERTAINLY WITHIN THAT ROOM WITHIN THAT CONVENTION HALL, THERE'S A GREAT DEAL OF UNITY BECAUSE THE GOP HAS BECOME THE PARTY OF TRUMP AND THE FOLKS WHO DON'T NECESSARILY SUPPORT TRUMP HAVE BEEN MARGINALIZED OR PURGE.

SO IT'S, YOU KNOW, THE IDEA THAT, YES, WE HAD THIS GREAT CONVENTION WEEK.

WE'RE ALL UNIFIED.

RAUL BEHIND THE FORMER PRESIDENT AND HIS REELECTION BID.

THAT'S TRUE WHEN IT COMES TO THE RNC.

BUT THAT'S BECAUSE THERE ISN'T REALLY MUCH, YOU KNOW, DIVISION WITHIN THE FOLKS WHO ARE AT THAT CONVENTION THERE THROUGH THE DELICATE MY VERY TO BE THE TRIED AND TRUE.

BUT EVEN IN 2016, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE STILL FOLKS WHO DIDN'T, YOU KNOW, THE WORST, YOU KNOW, NEVER TRUMPERS THAT KIND OF STUCK TO THEIR GUNS AND SAID NOW WORK WITH THIS IS NOT THE CANDIDATE THAT WE WANT.

THIS ISN'T THE KIND OF VALUES THAT WE THINK OUR PARTY SHOULD HAVE.

SO IT'S INTERESTING TO SEE, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE THEY'RE UNIFIED AS A PARTY.

AND THAT THE MESSAGE WE HEARD FROM ILLINOIS REPUBLICANS THROUGHOUT THE WEEK AS WELL.

BUT THE QUESTION IS, YOU KNOW, ARE THEY SORT OF PREACHING TO THE CHOIR HERE AND IS THIS GOING TO BREAK THROUGH, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU KNOW, YOU SEE HIM GOING OFF SCRIPT, INNOCENT AND PLAYING TO THE ROOM, WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, IT IS PART OF HIS POLITICAL GIFT, BUT IT'S NOT NECESSARILY GOING TO BREAK THROUGH.

AND IT WAS A THAT NICK'S POINT IS REALLY WELL TAKEN BECAUSE IN 2016 WE HAD TEXAS SENATOR TED CRUZ FROM THE FLOOR OF THE PENSION TELLING DELEGATES TO VOTE THEIR CONSCIENCE, EVEN IF IT DIDN'T MEAN SORT OF NOMINATING TRUMP OFFICIALLY AT THIS CONVENTION, TRUMP WAS IN IRAN TED NOT ONLY WAS HE ON STATE, HE WAS IN THE TRUMP FAMILY BOX, WHICH IS AN INDICATION THAT HE HAD SORT OF ANTHONY, IS WE I THINK SAID NOW, BY THE OTHER HAND, WE HAVE A NEW VICE PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE, JD VANCE, SENATOR FROM OHIO.

WHY?

WELL, BECAUSE THE FORMER VICE PRESIDENT MIKE PENCE NOT ONLY WAS HE NOT AT THE CONVENTION WAS IN THE WILDS OF MONTANA JUDGING BY HIS SOCIAL MEDIA.

BUT OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, DONALD STANDS ACCUSED OF FOMENTING JANUARY 6 CAPITOL INSURRECTION AND THERE PEOPLE THEY'RE CALLING FOR MIKE PENCE TO BE HANGED.

I THINK THAT THAT HAS GOTTEN A LITTLE BIT LOST IN PYLON.

GREAT YEAH.

OF THE CONVENTION.

IT IS.

IT IS UNPRECEDENTED.

A WORD HAVE TRULY COME TO THAT THAT WE HAVE A VICE PRESIDENT, A FORMER VICE PRESIDENT NOT SUPPORTING THE HIS FORMER RUNNING MATE IN THE ELECTION AND NOT ONLY NOT SUPPORTING HIM BUT NOT BEING WELCOME AT THE CONVENTION.

HAVE BEEN BOOED HIM, MODERATE REPUBLICANS WHO ARE THERE.

THEY FEEL LIKE THEY'VE BEEN PUSHED INTO THEIR OWN PARTY.

IT'S NO LONGER THE PARTY OF REAGAN OR WHAT IT HAD BEEN FOR SO LONG.

THEY FEEL LIKE THEY'RE OUT ON AN ISLAND.

THEY DON'T WANT TO VOTE FOR JOE BIDEN, BUT THEY DEFINITELY WANT TO VOTE FOR DONALD TRUMP AS WELL.

AND THEY DON'T SEE ANOTHER OPTION TO GO TOWARDS RIGHT NOW.

AND THEY'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THAT PATH AHEAD IS FOR THIS PARTY.

IF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS JUST GOING TO BE THE PARTY OF DONALD TRUMP GOING FORWARD TO I MEAN THAT THAT THIS IS WHAT I WAS STRUCK BY.

YOU KNOW, HE'S BY MY FIRST CONVENTION, MY AMERICAN CONVENTION.

THIS IS KIND OF CURIOUSLY WITHOUT POLITICS IN THE SENSE YOU KNOW, THAT THERE DO IT.

THERE ARE VERY FEW KIND OF FRINGE MEETINGS.

NOBODY WAS AROUND THE EDGES TALKING ABOUT OKAY.

WHAT DO WE AS REPUBLICANS THINK ABOUT EDUCATION POLICY WHATEVER?

YOU KNOW, THEY AGREED ON THE FIRST DAY BEFORE EVEN GOT THAT.

WHAT THE PLATFORM WAS, IT WOMAN PAGE DOCUMENTS ABOUT YOU KNOW, THEY DO THE DELEGATES, HAVE THEIR PHONES TAKEN AWAY AND THEN ON TO THAT SCORED AN 8 ENTIRE THING WAS WHENEVER YOU THINK, YOU KNOW, YOU TALK ABOUT HOW GREAT TRUMP AND HOW WE SUPPORT 10.

I I DON'T KNOW IF REPUBLICANS DON'T AGREE WITH THE ENTIRE KIND OF.

YOU NOTICE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT YOU REALLY PUSH SHOULDN'T HAVE STOPPED A COUPLE OF DRINKS LATE SUNDAY EVENING.

NIGHT LIKE FREE TRADE MUSIC OFFERING TARIFFS ON EVERYTHING.

YOU KNOW, YOU GET ANYBODY TO ACTUALLY SAY NOT NOT IT CERTAINLY COULD.

PEOPLE ARE LIKE, WOW, I MOST OF THE PLANE THAT WAS STILL VERY LIKE WE THINK TRUMP IS A GOOD GUY.

WE THINK THAT WE'VE GOT THINGS DONE.

YOU KNOW THAT WHEN PUBLIC THEY BELIEVE THAT.

BUT THANK.

BUT IT YEAH.

BUT THEY WERE PUTTING ASIDE THEIR OWN VIEWS ON HOW THE WORLD SHOULD WELCOME WANT WHAT POLICY SHOULD BE IN BOZEMAN RIGHT?

THIS IS OUR GUY AND WE BELIEVE IN THE POT AND WE TRUST MUCH MORE OF A PARTY OF PERSONALITY, THAT A PARTY OF POLITICS.

YOU KNOW, YOU'RE NOT SEEING IT POLICY DISCUSSIONS TO YOUR POINT HAPPENING HERE AND, YOU KNOW, CONVENTIONS FOR A LONG TIME HAVE ESSENTIALLY BEEN A TV SHOW, YOU KNOW, A BIG COMMERCIAL.

EXACTLY A BIG PARTY FOR, YOU KNOW, WITH THE FOLKS TO COME TOGETHER AND HANG OUT.

THAT'S BEEN TRUE.

YOU KNOW, THE DEMOCRATS AND THE REPUBLICANS, YOU KNOW, THEY DON'T REALLY HAVE THAT MUCH OF AN OFFICIAL ROLE ANYMORE IN OUR ELECTORAL SYSTEM.

BUT THIS REALLY WAS, YOU KNOW, TO TO REMARKABLE DEGREE, PRETTY POLICY FREE AND A LOT OF WAYS, ALTHOUGH CERTAINLY THERE WERE, YOU KNOW, GREAT THINGS IN THE SPEECH IS YES, LET'S ACTUALLY HEAR SOME OF THAT.

THIS WAS A MARATHON SPEECH.

SO IN AN HOUR AND A HALF, YOU'RE GOING TO GET SOME POLICY, MUCH OF THAT FOCUS, SORT OF ROUTINE TRUMP HOT TOPICS, INCLUDING A FAMILIAR ANTI IMMIGRANT RHETORIC.

UNDER THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION.

WE ARE INDEED A NATION IN DECLINE.

AS WE SIT HERE, THIS BEAUTIFUL ARENA.

IT'S A MASSIVE INVASION AT OUR SOUTHERN BORDER THAT IS SPREAD MISERY, CRIME, POVERTY, DISEASE, AND DESTRUCTION TO COMMUNITIES ALL LAND.

AND HEATHER JUST HAS TO BE A MESSAGE THAT STRIKES HEART AND THE FEAR OF IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES.

MANY OF THEM LIVE IN CHICAGO.

YEAH, I THINK THAT THE IMAGE THAT I THINK WE'LL STICK FOR ME FROM A WISCONSIN WILL BE THE IMAGE OF THE DELEGATES WAVING THE MASS DEPORTATIONS SIGNS.

YOU KNOW, THERE'S WAS A LOT OF TALK ABOUT.

WELL, YEAH, TRUMP IS SAYING THAT HE WANTS TO DEPORT MILLIONS OF UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS, BUT HOW EXACTLY WOULD THAT WORK AND WOULD HE ACTUALLY DO IT?

AND HE PROBABLY DOESN'T ACTUALLY MEAN BUT THEY MEAN IT THAT THEY HAD PRE PRINTED SIGNS SAYING MASS DEPORTATION NOW.

AND I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE TO TAKE VERY SERIOUSLY.

AND LITERALLY IT WOULD, IF EVEN IF NOT A SINGLE PERSON DEPORTED BECAUSE THEY'RE UNDOCUMENTED.

IT WILL STRIKE FEAR INTO THE HEARTS OF CHICAGO'S IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES.

IN MEANS THEY WILL BE LESS LIKELY TO REACH OUT TO THE POLICE FOR HELP WHERE TO GET HEALTH CARE OR 2 ANYWAY, INTERACT WITH SORT OF OFFICIAL DONE FOR FEAR THAT THEY WOULD BE SORT OF IDENTIFIED AS SORT OF SOMEBODY WHO NEEDS TO BE DEPORTED.

AND THIS IS SORT OF ABOVE AND BEYOND THE NOTION OF OF PUTTING PEOPLE AWAITING DEPORTATIONS IN CAMPS ALONG THE SOUTHERN BORDER.

THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT TRUMP IS SORT OF, YOU KNOW, HINTING AT OR SORT SIGNALING AT HE IS SAYING THAT THIS IS WHAT HE WANTS TO DO.

AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE TO TAKE VERY SERIOUSLY ABOUT WHAT IT WILL MEAN FOR PEOPLE, PARTICULARLY LIKE IN CITIES LIKE CHICAGO TO HAVE HUGE NUMBERS OF UNDOCUMENTED RESIDENTS NICK.

WE HEARD AS IN AN EARLIER CLIP FROM THE FORMER PRESIDENT SUSPICIONS ABOUT ELECTION CHEATING PRESUMABLY FOCUSED, OF COURSE, ON HIS LAST 4 YEARS AGO.

SO IT TELL ME ABOUT THAT.

IS HE ALREADY SETTING UP FOR IF I DON'T I THINK HE HAS TO BE BECAUSE I THINK HE SAW THAT THAT WAS A SUCCESSFUL MESSAGE IN 2020 AND RILING UP HIS SUPPORTERS.

YOU KNOW, TO THE DEGREE THAT WE SAW AN ATTEMPTED INSURRECTION AT THE CAPITOL ON JANUARY 6TH.

SO I THINK, YOU KNOW, HE IS SETTING THE TABLE FOR THIS COMING NOVEMBER.

SHOULD PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN OR ANOTHER DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE?

YOU KNOW, TAKE THE ELECTION.

I THINK HE WANTS TO, YOU KNOW, CREATE THAT PATH NOW AND START TO, YOU KNOW, TO GET HIS SUPPORTERS ON BOARD WITH THAT IDEA.

AND IT IS A MESSAGE THAT WE HEARD THE ILLINOIS REPUBLICAN PARTY ENDORSED FULL HEARTEDLY.

BOTH YOU AND I SPOKE TO A NUMBER OF DELEGATES AND PARTY LEADERS WHO EXPRESSED SERIOUS CONCERNS ABOUT ELECTION INTEGRITY, EVEN THOUGH THERE IS NO EVIDENCE THAT VOTER FRAUD HAS BEEN IN DETERMINATIVE IN ANY ELECTION IN ILLINOIS OR BASICALLY ANYWHERE ELSE IN AMERICA.

AND I THINK THAT THAT IS A REAL SORT OF PROBLEM FOR DEMOCRACY BECAUSE IF YOU HAVE ONE SIDE SAYING WE'RE NOT SURE THIS ISN'T A VALID ELECTION, YOU HAVE ANOTHER SIDE SAYING, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GOING TO PLAY BY THE RULES.

THERE'S AN ASYMMETRY THERE THAT I THINK IS POTENTIALLY PERILOUS FOR AMERICAN DEMOCRACY.

DANIEL, HOW DOES THIS PLAY OUT ON THE WORLD STAGE?

I GET TRUCK GOING ON STATE USE THAT PRECEDED BY KIDS ROCK AND BY HOW COVID AND SO IF IF TRYING TO INVENT THE MOST KIND OF STARTED A TYPICAL OF THE MOST SNOW BASE.

SO THE FRENCHMAN COULD THIS IS WHAT IT WOULD REALITY TV PRESIDENT INTRODUCED BY A WRESTLEMANIA STUFF WHO LITERALLY RIPPED OPEN HIS STAGE BUT I THERE'S A LOT OF IN GENERAL ABOUT, YOU KNOW, EUROPEAN SUNDAY ABOUT HIM, PARTICULARLY LOOK, WE'RE TRUMPS POLICY ON ON 10 MIGHT WENT OFF FROM HIS SCRIPT IN CHECK I'M OLD.

I'M PRIME MINISTER OF HUNGARY AND THE CAUSE.

THIS IS A GUY WHO'S LIKE SEEING OTHER EUROPEAN LEADERS IS KIND OF RUSSIAN MOLE ALMOST IN A WAY.

SO I THINK THERE'S A MOTIVE KNOWS THAT THE MOMENT EVERYBODY IS WAITING TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE DEMOCRATS.

BUT DANIEL IT WAS INTERESTING TO HEAR TO TRUMP MENTIONED IN HIS SPEECH, YOU KNOW, THAT HAD I BEEN PRESIDENT PUTIN WOULD NOT HAVE INVADED UKRAINE, YOU KNOW, STRIKES ME AS A CLAIM NOT BACKED UP BUT, YEAH, I NOT ONLY THAT, HE SAID HE COULD PICK UP A PHONE AND END THE WAR.

WE HEARD FROM HIM FIT PERHAPS CANCER MAY BE CURED IF HE PRESIDENT ALZHEIMER'S, AS WELL.

ARE THESE PROMISES THAT ARE BELIEVABLE AND IN HEALTH ALERT.

BUT WHAT DOES IT SHOW ABOUT THE VOTING PUBLIC?

I THINK THAT THE THE FOREIGN POLICY IS ON THINGS THAT THAT YOU KNOW, WAS LIKE HAITIAN THAT THE REALLY IMPACTS ELECTIONS, EVEN WHEN AMERICA'S WAR.

AND I THINK ONE OF THINGS THAT I START ME, I USED TO COVER AFGHANISTAN IN MY BUT I SPEND A LOT OF TIME IN AFGHANISTAN THE FAST LIFE I KNOW.

YEAH.

AND THE WAY HE'S REDEFINED UTTERS THIS LIKE JOE BIDEN LOST THE WAR AND HE WOULD HAVE HELD ON WHEN HE SIGNED THE DEAL WITH THE TALIBAN TO FROM TO CAMP DAVID SEPTEMBER 11.

YES, KAI KIND OF ABILITY JUST BRAZEN THROUGH THIS KIND OF FOREIGN POLICY WILL DO THAT.

THAT LIKE YOU WHITE OUT OVER HISTORY.

ALSO YEAH.

THE RUSSIANS WILL SENTENCE AREA THE WHOLE TIME HE WAS.

AND REPUBLICANS LEFT THOSE THAT I TALKED TO TRULY EXCITED SAID.

WE BELIEVE HE IS ON THE PATH TO THE PRESIDENCY.

SO WE'RE GOING TO GET TO THAT AND HIS POTENTIAL DEMOCRATIC RIVAL ANY WAY IN JUST A MINUTE.

BUT I WANT TO STEP OUTSIDE THAT THAT INSIDE THE CONVENTION HALL.

GO TO YOU, MATT, BECAUSE YOU ARE COVERING WHAT WAS GOING ON OUT SIDE OF IT AND WHAT WERE YOUR IMPRESSIONS OF THE SECURITY SECURITY WAS VERY STRONG.

OBVIOUSLY WHAT HAPPENED LAST WEEKEND REALLY MADE THE SECRET SERVICE RE.

TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT WHAT THEY WANTED TO DO.

KEEP FORMER PRESIDENT AND ALL THE DELEGATES AND EVER AND THEY'RE SAFE.

BUT IN TERMS OF SECURITY EVERYTHING FELT VERY SECURE, EVERYTHING WAS VERY SAFE.

PROTESTERS HAD NO FEAR OF ANY SORT OF RETALIATORY VIOLENCE THAT IS GOING TO BE HAPPENING.

ONCE I SPOKE TO WERE VERY CALM.

THEY FELT THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE MORE OF A CELEBRATION FOR REPUBLICANS WHO ARE THERE AS OPPOSED TO ATTACKING ANY PROTESTERS DISAGREE WHAT THE NSA AND THAT'S LARGELY LARGELY HOW IT PLAYED POLICE PRESENCE WAS VERY STRONG IN THE CITY, BUT NOT OVERWHELMING.

IT THEY WERE THERE WERE NO ARREST WERE VERY MINOR.

THERE ARE A FEW ARRESTS MADE EACH NIGHT.

BUT IN GENERAL, THINGS WENT VERY AND GOING TO THE DNC NEXT WEEK OUR NEXT MONTH WITH CHICAGO POLICE DEPARTMENT IS GOING TO BE RUNNING THINGS.

THEY WOULD HAVE TO HOPE THAT THIS IS HOW THINGS WOULD GO HERE AS WELL.

NO DANIELS, SPEAKING OF, OF COURSE, LAST WEEK AT WHAT IS THE IMPACT OF THIS ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION ON THE RACE FOR PRESIDENT?

I THINK IT'S NOT ALL THAT MUCH.

I THINK THAT HAVE YOU KNOW, I WAS SENT OUT REPORT POINT, YOU KNOW, THEY OFTEN WE REALLY DIDN'T KNOW WHO THIS.

WAS THIS GUY, BUT IT NOT ONLY NOTHING MUCH IN THE FBI AS PART OF THE STUFF NOW AND IT WAS A REPUBLICAN, BUT NOTE CENTURY THERE WAS GREAT SCREEN ARE ALLOWED TO KIND OF GET INTO THE PUBLIC.

DISCOURSE TALK ABOUT YET WHAT MOTIVATED THIS YOUNG MAN IS GOING SHOOT.

SEND OSHIE TO THE PRESIDENT AND IT'S KIND OF ALMOST DISAPPEARED.

I THINK YOU'RE WHAT POLLING WE'VE SEEN SO FAR THERE'S ALMOST NOTHING IN AND CERTAINLY AND I'M SAYING THIS TO MY AND IT HAS ON WHEN IT HAPPENED.

I THOUGHT BEING HERE IN CHICAGO SEE A VERY DEMOCRATIC CITY.

YEAH.

MY RIGHT.

AND I SAID DONALD TRUMP'S INITIAL TO MUNICIPAL WAS HITS.

AND NO, SIR, KIND OF SOME THAT THAT THAT MORE IN JUST A NIGHT.

GETS KIND OF WHAT IT WAS LIKE.

WELL, SAYING, I THINK BOTH IS JUST A DAY.

I THINK THAT THIS THIS IS VERY QUICK WE MOVING ON FROM FROM STEP STATIONS IN U.S. IS THAT WAS WE'VE GOT TO MOVE TO THE DNC BUT JUST BROKEN.

DO AGREE, HEATHER, I I DO.

I THINK THAT WE'VE DECIDED THAT THE PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS IS GARDEN VARIETY SCHOOL SHOOTER WHO PERHAPS MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL PROBLEMS.

WE KNOW THAT HE WAS SEARCHING NOT JUST FOR DONALD TRUMP, BUT ALSO FOR THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION FOR JOE BIDEN.

IT REALLY SOUNDED LIKE HE WANTED TO SHOOT A HIGH PROFILE PERSON AND TRUMP JUST HAPPENED TO COME WITHIN 50 MILES OF HOUSE AND THEN ESCAPE SERIOUS INJURY BY ALL.

THOSE ARE LEADERS.

CERTAINLY A BELIEF BY MANY AT THE RNC THAT HE WAS SPARED THEM OUT BECAUSE OF A DIRECTIVE FROM GOT RELIEF FROM ON HIGH TO HELP AMERICA.

LET'S MOVE ON FOCUSING SO MUCH, OF COURSE, ON TRUMP.

THIS WAS THE REPUBLICANS BIG WEEK.

BUT THE THE QUESTION REALLY DOES REMAIN, NICK, WHO WILL TRUMP RUN AGAINST?

IS IT GOING TO BE PRESIDENT BIDEN?

THERE'S BEEN SOME ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENTS ALONG HERE WITH PRESSURE, INTENSIFYING IT FOR HIM TO MOVE ASIDE IT'S THERE HAS BEEN QUITE A BIT.

IT DOES SEEM AS THOUGH THIS MAY BE IS SOME SORT AT LEAST LOOSELY COORDINATED ATTEMPTS TO TAKE WHAT HAD BEEN, YOU KNOW, PRIVATE CONCERNS, PRIVATE GRIEVANCES AND MAKE THEM MORE AND MORE PUBLIC WITH EACH, YOU KNOW, ELECTED OFFICIAL THAT COMES OUT WITH EACH APPARENT LEAK ABOUT THE CONVERSATIONS FROM CONGRESSIONAL LEADERS AND OTHER UNITS PARTY GRANDEES THAT HAVE BEEN MAKING THEIR CONCERNS KNOWN THERE WAS REPORTING THAT THERE IS A VERY LAST MINUTE CALL TO WITH DONORS THAT WAS THROWN TOGETHER THIS AFTERNOON.

THE VICE PRESIDENT, KAMALA HARRIS, WAS ON AND THIS CERTAINLY WAS REFLECTED IN.

YOU KNOW, WHAT WE HEARD AT THE RNC, THERE WAS A FAIR AMOUNT OF FOCUS YOU KNOW, WHAT THEY SEE AS PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN'S FAILURES.

BUT THEY SPENT A LOT OF TIME.

SPEAKER SPENT A LOT OF TIME ATTACKING KAMALA HARRIS SEEMINGLY WITH AN EYE TOWARD THE NOTION THAT SHE MAY ACTUALLY BE THE ONE AT THE TOP OF THE TICKET FOR THE DEMS IN NOVEMBER.

SO SHE TOOK A LOT OF HIT, ESPECIALLY FOR A BORDER RELATED ISSUES.

THEY KEPT REFERRING TO HER AS THE QUOTE, UNQUOTE, BORDER CZAR.

WHAT SHE HAS NOT ACTUALLY BEEN DESIGNATED HAS, BUT CERTAINLY SHOULD.

YOU KNOW, THAT HAS BEEN A BIG PART OF HER VICE PRESIDENTIAL POLICY PORTFOLIO.

YOU KNOW, THIS NOTION OF MASS DEPORTATIONS OF SO-CALLED BORDER BLOODBATH, THEY REALLY TRIED TO HANG A LOT OF NEGATIVE THAT, YOU KNOW, AFTER THE IT'S AROUND HARRIS'S NECK.

BUT WE DO HAVE ADDITIONALLY, ILLINOIS REPRESENTATIVES, SEAN CASTEN AS WELL HIS HISTORY GARCIA ADDING TO THE LIST THOSE IS SAYING THAT THEY BELIEVE TRUMP AND PART THE HIT IS A JOE BIDEN NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TRUMP BACK IN THE WHITE DANIEL, AGAIN, TO YOU HERE.

THERE'S SO MUCH FEAR AMONG THESE VOCAL DEMOCRATS THAT BIDEN IS GOING TO LOSE THE RACE FOR THE WHITE HOUSE.

ARE THEY HURTING THEIR OWN CAUSE BY WELL, I THINK IT DEPENDS ON WHETHER THEY SUCCEED IN GETTING JOE BIDEN TO STEP ASIDE.

IF HE DOES STEP ASIDE AND THEY CAN GET A CANDIDATE TOPS VICE PRESIDENT HAS BEEN SOMEBODY WHO CAN ESSENTIALLY MAKE EVERYTHING MOVE, MIDTOWN IT BACK INTO A REFERENDUM ON TRUMP THAT I THINK THEY SUCCEED.

BUT IF YOU KNOW, IT'S HARD TO JOE BIDEN CARRIES ON AS THE NOMINEE.

THEN YES, THEY HAVE GAME OTHER PLAY THAT OUT A LITTLE BIT MORE.

TAKE US TO THE NEXT STEP, RIGHT?

WELL, BECAUSE IF YOU HAVE DEMOCRATS MAKING THE CASE THAT BIDEN IS NOT SORT OF NOT ONLY TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT BUT SERVE ANOTHER 4 YEARS.

YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE SOME VOTERS SAY, WELL, WHY WOULD I VOTE FOR HIM AND EITHER THEY VOTE FOR TRUMP OR MORE LIKELY?

I THINK THEY SIMPLY STAY HOME.

AND I THINK THAT IS POTENTIALLY PERILOUS FOR THE DEMOCRATS BECAUSE WE EXPECT THIS RACE TO BE JUST AS CLOSE AS IT WAS IN 2020.

AND THEN AGAIN IN 2016.

SO THE QUESTION REALLY IS, CAN THE DEMOCRATS SORT OF FIGURE THIS OUT THAN THEY HAVE BEEN?

AND CERTAINLY BY EITHER THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION OR THE FIRST WEEK IN AUGUST WHEN THERE IS APPARENTLY A VIRTUAL ROLL CALL SCHEDULED TO GET THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE BOTH ON THE OHIO BALLOT AND OTHER STATES WHERE THE BALLOT FILING DEADLINE IS A LITTLE BIT EARLY.

I THINK WHAT WAS INTERESTING TO ME TODAY WAS GARCIA AND SORT OF CALLING FOR HIS TO STEP BACK, YOU KNOW, HE IS STRONG MEMBER OF THE PROGRESSIVE CAUCUS IS AND UP UNTIL THIS POINT, THE PROGRESSIVES HAVE BEEN FIRMLY BEHIND BIDEN.

IF THAT STARTS TO CHANGE, I THINK WE'RE SORT OF ENTERING A NEW PHASE OF THIS BECAUSE OF THE DEBATE PERFORMANCE OR IS THIS BECAUSE OF POLLS WERE HOLDS, GO UP AND OUR TIME AWAY FROM NOVEMBER?

I THINK IT'S A BIT OF BOTH.

I THINK, YOU KNOW, HE WAS A LITTLE BIT BEHIND THE POST POLL SIDE IS A HUGE OBSESSION WITH POLLS.

BUT THERE WAS A GREAT HOPE.

PRICE MEANS YOU KNOW, THAT HE WILL BE ABLE TO TURN THE ATTENTION ON THE TRUMP TO MAKE IT A REFERENDUM ON TRUMP.

AND THEN, OF COURSE, YOU KNOW THAT IT HAPPENED AND HE LOOKED, YOU KNOW, HE STRUGGLED SOME QUESTIONS IN SUDDEN IT WAS A DEBATE ON IS THIS MAN I'M TOO OLD COUNTY DOING OTHER FULLY IS.

AND I THINK THAT'S VERY, VERY HOT CHANGE.

SO, YOU IF YOU 10 POINTS AHEAD IN THE POLLS, HE PROBABLY COULD HAVE SURVIVED THAT DEBATE, BUT AS IT WAS NEEDED TO IMPROVE THINGS AND WE'VE GOT ABOUT A MINUTE LEFT ILLINOIS.

REPUBLICANS.

THEY'RE IN THE SUPER MINORITY IN ILLINOIS.

BUT DID THEY HAVE A CHANCE AT CHANGING THAT AROUND?

THEY SAY, WE HEARD A LOT OF OPTIMISM THIS WEEK THAT THEY CAN PICK UP SEATS IN THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY THAT THEY MAY ADD REPUBLICANS TO THE ILLINOIS CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION.

I THINK A LOT IS GOING TO COME DOWN TO WHETHER VOTERS ARE SO, YOU KNOW, HAVE SUCH DISTASTE FOR THE CANDIDATES AT THE TOP OF THE TICKET THAT THEY SIMPLY STAY HOME BECAUSE I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE ABOUT TURNOUT.

AND I THINK THAT IS VERY MUCH PREDICATED UPON WHO THE 2 CANDIDATES END UP BEING.

CERTAINLY TRUMP ISN'T GOING ANYWHERE.

YOU KNOW, HE IS NOT CONSIDERING.

YOU NOTICE HE'S NOT SO NOT BUT WE WILL BE FOLLOWING WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE INPUT, OF COURSE, MOSTLY THE FUTURE OF BIDEN, HIS POTENTIAL PATH TO A SECOND TERM, BUT THAT WE ARE OUT OF TIME.

SO OUR THANKS TO NIC LUMBER, HEATHER SHARON, THAT MASTERSON AND TO DANIEL KNOWLES.

WE'RE BACK TO WRAP THINGS UP RIGHT AFTER THIS.
