acknowledging what three quarters of the american people say is he doesn't have the mental acuity for it which is a difficult position to take when you are part of this party. or they will have to be in full embrace of him and try to retain their credibility on other issues when they will have lost the credibility of his age. have lost the credibility of his ace. ,, ., have lost the credibility of hisaue. ,, ., ., his age. should say donald trump was _ his age. should say donald trump was seated - his age. should say donald trump was seated behind l his age. should say donald i trump was seated behind us his age. should say donald - trump was seated behind us when he arrived into the arena earlier and has left. we believe that is because the former first lady lani trump is due to arrive soon. she has not been seen on the campaign trail at all yet —— melania. told his daughter if i —— will also be here. why is that do you think? i have melania and ivanka been absent? it i have melania and ivanka been absent? , ., , i have melania and ivanka been absent? , , i have melania and ivanka been absent? ., absent? it probably was not the best experience _ absent? it probably was not the best experience the _ absent? it probably was not the best experience the first - absent? it probably was not the best experience the first time i best experience the first time around — best experience the first time around when they were in the

cost of goods up here in this country, tariffs are attacks on the american. they have to decide if they want an administration who does not want women to have reproductive healthcare. there are a lot of serious issues that will be debated and prosecuted in the next few months as we head into the election. whoever he is at the election. whoever he is at the top of the democratic ticket will be pressing on those issues.— ticket will be pressing on those issues. ~ , ., ., those issues. when you mention reproductive _ those issues. when you mention reproductive rights _ those issues. when you mention reproductive rights we _ those issues. when you mention reproductive rights we have - those issues. when you mention reproductive rights we have notl reproductive rights we have not heard much about that from the speeches on this stage here. that's an issue that divides this coalition here. because former president trump has moderated his position a bit on it and he has disappointed the far right on reproductive rights. they are not highlighting issues that drive a wedge between the republican party. if this convention is about unity, now focused on all

not going anywhere, the press conference at the end of the nato summit is repeatedly that is running. do you think is that changing a little bit? he obviously has covid and is self—isolating with time to think. i self-isolating with time to think. ~' self-isolating with time to think. ~ , . think. i think there is an element. _ think. i think there is an element, what - think. i think there is an element, what would i think. i think there is an l element, what would you think. i think there is an i element, what would you do if you are him? if you are the presidential candidate your answer is to keep on sang you will run until you don't. he has to stick to that message at least publicly but there is no doubt at the moment tonight the pressure is increasing exponentially. it is coming very much from people lower down the ticket. people are running for senate, or house on the democratic side, there is now an increasing panic in the democratic side of this that if they lose, the presidency, they could lose the senate and the house. that opens up a completely different thing to do with donald trump. speaking of donald trump _ do with donald trump. speaking of donald trump here _ do with donald trump. speaking of donald trump here as - do with donald trump. speaking of donald trump here as you i do with donald trump. speaking | of donald trump here as you can see, a complete party

this precise moment choosing jd vance was part of a think his assumption that he was facing joe biden. it is facing kamala harris or someone like gretchen whitmer, everything begins to change and that is a much harder thing for him to fight. from this perspective strangely although donald trump is completely in his pomp at the moment, he has a slight suspicion of who is he fighting and that makes it more difficult.— difficult. speaking to republicans - difficult. speaking to republicans here, i difficult. speaking to i republicans here, they say difficult. speaking to _ republicans here, they say that the candidate they are most afraid of is michelle obama who is obviously not running, says she will not run for many years now. i she will not run for many years now. ~' , , ~' , she will not run for many years now. ~ , , ~ , ., now. i think she is unlikely to run but as — now. i think she is unlikely to run but as a _ now. i think she is unlikely to run but as a whole _ now. i think she is unlikely to run but as a whole host i now. i think she is unlikely to run but as a whole host of i run but as a whole host of people who are waiting and looking and thinking and the same thing happens in british politics as well is you do not want to be the person who carries the knife. you don't want to be the person who kills joe biden cc: kamala harris being absolutely loyal, being

absolutely loyal, gary newsome stop the more people appear in public and look as if they are capable of delivering a message, there is some liminal element of saying i can do this stuff whichjoe biden cannot. there's almost a very strange night, coming to these things for 30 years now. it is very odd to have a night where on the one hand half of the focus is on what is happening here but meanwhile there's another drama happening which could alter the race entirely. you could imagine _ alter the race entirely. you could imagine former- alter the race entirely. you could imagine former president trump is not at all happy about that. he has built this whole night around a massive tv event and having control of the new cycle, kid rock is going to play to introduce him on and simply he is having to share attention with joe simply he is having to share attention withjoe biden. that attention with joe biden. that is think donald _ attention with joe biden. that is think donald trump - is think donald trump throughout as long as all of us have followed him his been a

master of television and knowing exactly which way to go and how to push things. what you see here is incredible from the point of view of those of us who followed republican politics for a long time. you have all of the tribes of the republican party chewing up to kiss the ring. the other social conservatives may not, you would imagine would not be terribly in love with a man who has been married three times add various as ignitions with people. they are queueing up to set it they worship donald trump will be fiscal conservatives who don't like the idea of the government spending money queueing up to worship some guy who is prepared to borrow money. you have law & order conservatives queueing up to fall in line behind someone who is a convicted felon. all those people are there in his army at the moment kissing the ring as i said. what happens if suddenly the democrats appear with somebody else? that could

change the whole dynamic and for once donald trump he was supreme gift in politics is always to destabilise his opponents, this time it may be a little the other way around. destabilising themselves at this point, aren't they? you were mentioning suburban women there. we have been talking about abortion and how donald trump has managed to buy the republican party's position on abortion to loosen it up. how will that play cycle? i abortion to loosen it up. how will that play cycle?— will that play cycle? i think if ou will that play cycle? i think if you go — will that play cycle? i think if you go to _ will that play cycle? i think if you go to new— will that play cycle? i think if you go to new york i will that play cycle? i think if you go to new york or. if you go to new york or california you will hear a great deal about how abortion is a large issue. you go to ohio or michigan or pennsylvania, where these things i thought, there's an element where it is definitely an issue with many women but it is not as important. look at the main issues, they are the economy, immigration, what is happening, the security of america. those are all issues if you are a conservative

politician. you want to fight on the economy, you want to fight on immigration and you want to fight on the idea that it is a dangerous world out there. abortion helps the democrats but i don't think it is big enough to fight back against those things. tote is big enough to fight back against those things. we were sa in: against those things. we were saying that — against those things. we were saying that we _ against those things. we were saying that we heard - against those things. we were saying that we heard very i saying that we heard very little about abortion here at the convention. it little about abortion here at the convention.— the convention. it is very weird, with _ the convention. it is very weird, with all— the convention. it is very weird, with all the i the convention. it is very weird, with all the times the convention. it is very i weird, with all the times i've ever been to republican conferences has always been abortion as one of the things they pledged to do. now it has happened, it is something that they don't terribly want to repeat too much because all the people who are pro—life will vote for them anyway and i don't want to scare away too many other people but in the general sense of is this a frontline issue, no it is not because people at the moment are too preoccupied by things like rising prices, what is happening with immigration and this dangerous world out there and all the polls show most people think donald trump is better on those issues thanjoe

biden. that was before the debate. that is the whole the democrats have got themselves into. ~ . . , . into. we have heard since the assassination _ into. we have heard since the assassination attempt - into. we have heard since the assassination attempt on i assassination attempt on saturday from joe biden and donald trump about a need for calm and cool heads to tone down the at times violent rhetoric. we are told donald trump will not mentionjoe biden by name during his speech stop is it achievable to get that calm tone? i stop is it achievable to get that calm tone?— that calm tone? i think... donald — that calm tone? i think... donald trump _ that calm tone? i think... donald trump and - that calm tone? i think... i donald trump and calmness are not to things that go well together normally. already i think you will have an element where even if he doesn't mention them, if you, if anyone has been in a room with donald trump or interviewed him you interview him and he is always on the point of saying something he shouldn't. this will be a test of his discipline but one thing i would say is you go back eight years to when donald trump first did a convention. this is a systematically more disciplined, more unified

republican party and there are a lot of people behind trump now who are serious, clever, well—organised people. before it was a group of rebels, a tiny bit like the original ordering of brexit i suppose. trump now there is a vast amount of organisations of people sticking on message, you see all the people paraded in front and the only people who sometimes go slightly off message have been more aggressive than that like members of his own family like his son which i think that was probably not useful. on the whole the main thing to do with the way it is working off the moment is this is a very organised party falling in line behind somebody. in terms of will donald trump stop being donald trump and stop having a go at people, it may, tonight maybe but going forward no. ih maybe but going forward no. in terms of what happens after tonight, how was the campaign going to proceed one that is

such disarray on the side of the democrats and the unity coming out of here, donald trump holding their first rally on saturday as mac a lot depends on if somebody the other day described to me as we are watching on the democratic side a three act play. the first act _ side a three act play. the first act is _ side a three act play. the first act is whether i side a three act play. the first act is whetherjoe i side a three act play. iie: first act is whetherjoe biden will go, the second act is whether kamala harris will succeed him and the last act as if kamala harris does not automatically get it, who does? one of the problems for people around joe biden and around the democratic establishment at the moment is a lot of them cannot see beyond the second act. they are trying to measure how much better kamala harris would be than joe better kamala harris would be thanjoe biden and only three orfour months ago thanjoe biden and only three or four months ago the same people were telling news organisations like both advised that they were nervous about kamala harris being on the ticket. you look beyond them to people like gretchen whitmer and josh shapiro. the people

who would seriously mess up the playbook we are seeing here. you have to get past those first two acts to get to it so it would revolve say for instance aboutjoe biden seeing yes i'm quitting, and i personally will support kamala harris but i'm releasing my delegates than you would have a big fanfare and a big element of a lot of money coming in as well behind individual people. that to some extent would be bad for donald trump because it would draw away the attention. and because time is not on the side of the democrats either. not at all. side of the democrats either. not at all-— not at all. thank you for 'oinin: not at all. thank you for joining us _ not at all. thank you for joining us here, - not at all. thank you for joining us here, really i joining us here, really appreciate it. we also have with us brian, a republican strategist. thank you for joining us again.- strategist. thank you for joining us again. one of the roud joining us again. one of the proud rebels _ joining us again. one of the proud rebels from - joining us again. one of the proud rebels from the i joining us again. one of the proud rebels from the 2016 | joining us again. one of the i proud rebels from the 2016 as he says. proud rebels from the 2016 as he sa s. ~ . . , he says. we are getting ready for donald — he says. we are getting ready for donald trump _ he says. we are getting ready for donald trump to - he says. we are getting ready for donald trump to come i he says. we are getting readyj for donald trump to come out and address this adoring crowd behind us. what are you hoping to hearfrom the behind us. what are you hoping to hear from the speech tonight? i

—— america. eight years ago, my father sat ourfamily —— america. eight years ago, my father sat our family down, he spoke of a nation in decline, of dreams slipping away. other future endangered by failed leadership and broken promises. there was in that moment i knew my father had made a decision that would forever change our life. we realise he had chosen to step into the arena, to fight for the soul of america. he decided to leave behind the comforts of an unbelievable business empire. to leave behind everything he had ever built. to answer the call, to serve our nation. unlike his

predecessor, it was not a decision all born out of necessity. unlike the current president, it was not a decision that would enrich his family. rather, his decision made out of love for this country and a deep concern for america's future. my father was clear was not easy, there will be a huge price to pay. and that the attacks would be vicious. looking back, there was an understatement. the made up was an understatement. the made up russia hopes, the sham impeachments, the efforts to destroy an unbelievable company, a company that unwanted, efforts to cancel last, silence him, his gag is free speech and drag him to the courthouses of america, to take

his life. yet through all, he showed an unwavering courage and determination, notjust in public but in every private conversation with me and our family. he stood tall, feel not by personal edition but by a profound love for this country and a love for all of you, the american people. that man is my father, that man is the 45th president and soon to be 47th president and soon to be 47th president of the united states, that man is donaldj trump. cheering and applause

chanting: four more years! each time i stood on the state, america has been in dire roads, began to promise of america. our economy was struggling, jobs were scarce, our standing in the world stage was weak, veterans were forgotten, militaria was in shambles, our educational system was broken, ranked 30th in the world. he could no longer tolerate an inept administration that handed hundred to iran, a country that chance death to america i witnessed a continued attacks on our constitution and our religious liberty. or to the disrespect shown to our bluebottle law enforcement agency who are being designed,

defunded and persecuted each and every day. he could no longer stand to see words like christmas tree from public use or the pledge of allegiance removed from our schools. my father saw potential where others saw despairs. donald trump built the new york city skyline, he did so during a time, he did so during a time when businesses were turning away from the city he loved. crime was rampant. the streets were dirty but he had the midas touch and he turned the streets and neighbourhoods into gold. he faced every challenge with tremendous vision and greed, as he did during the 2016 election, he rolled up your sleeves, remained unapologetic, he did not care to be politically correct. he
