11:01 am
cnn closed captioning is brought to you by sokoloff law mesothelial more victims call now $30 billion in trust money has been set aside. you may be entitled to a portion of that money. all when 808 5-9, 2,420, that's when 808, 5-9, 2,400 i'm boris sanchez live in milwaukee at the site of the republican national convention my co-anchor and good friend, brianna keilar, is live for us in washington, dc we're now counting down to what could be a career defining moment for former presint donald trump's new running mate, senator jd fans tonight, but 39-year-old from ohio will introduce himself to the world and a prime time speech. >> a source telling cnn advanced will reach out to
11:02 am
working class voters by playing up his remarkable life story growing up poor in a family that's struggled with addiction before becoming a us marine, a yale law grad, yale law school graduate and now a sitting us senator. the theme of night three of the rnc is make america strong once again, and it's going to focus on foreign policy while showcasing some of trump's staunchest supporters. we've got a team of reporters here in milwaukee covering all angles cnn's kristen holmes and alayna treene joining us now. so kristen, what more are you? expecting from night three of the convention well, boris, look, we're going to hear from a number of veterans, gold-star family, as long as law enforcement, but the most important speaker, as you noted, is senator jd vance. >> he is obviously going to speak for the first time in an actual speech. excuse me. >> excuse me since he was brought to the table and this is really his first debut on the national stage. >> a lot of people don't know anything about it. but in addition to that, we also know
11:03 am
we're going to hear from don january. donald trump's son, also a close ally of jd vance's as well as kellyanne conway, who was in charge of his 20s 16 campaign. he also still she also still advises the former president. we're going to hear from matt gaetz, mike waltz, nancy mays, lawmakers, who again are staunch supporters. but the really key thing here is jd vance because he has not really introduced himself to the american people and he is not only somebody who said negative things he's about donald trump the past, he's also someone who is considered now the heir to the maga thrown. people want to hear from him and hear what he has to say no question about that, kristen. >> thank you so much, alayna walk us through the reporting that you have about how vance is going to use his personal story to appeal to voters, especially in those blue wall states of wisconsin, michigan, and pennsylvania no, that's exactly right. >> boris and actually jd vance himself said that in an interview with fox news on monday shortly after he was
11:04 am
informed that he was being chosen as donald trump's running mate. he said that trump told him in a phone call when he alerted him to that, that he thinks he could but help them in those rust belt states. now look, as you mentioned, jd has an incredible story of from one and a poor rust belt town in ohio to becoming i senator who was a sitting senator for a year-and-a-half before being tapped by donald trump to run beside him and they really plan to use that. i think the theme for jd vance night is to shake there that life story to walk the room, the crowd, people watching at home through his biography and try to resonate with them. and we know that a key goal for the trump campaign as they look ahead to november, is trying to win over those working class voters in the refs vowed the states that you mentioned, like michigan, pennsylvania, wisconsin, all of the states that they think where this election will be won, you'll hear him talk about that a lot. he's also though, going to be addressing i'm told foreign policy it's an area where donald trump, it's not his best area. but jd
11:05 am
vance is very smart. and foreign policy, he has very similar populist ideals like donald trump. we know that he hasn't very critical the goal of wanting to send more money to ukraine, things along those lines. and so we'll be hearing some of that as well from jd vance and i can tell you for us that we know that donald trump is and his team are going to be looking over those remarks at well as well, whatever jd vance says on stage, they will be in lockstep on so expect that now i do have one question. oh, could i wanted to share with you because i do think it just encapsulates the goal for them tonight. this is what the source who helped work on these remarks told me. he said, quote, if you want to crack, suburban women get them to watch the screen adaptation advances memoir, auhillbilly elegy his life story is so powerful, expect a lot of focus on his bio and life story. so again, really expect jd vance night to pull on his own personal experience, share those analytics with the public very similar to what we saw last night with some of those personal stories as well.
11:06 am
>> alayna treene, thanks so much for the reporting let's discuss with republican senator markwayne mullin of oklahoma. senator. thank you so much for being with us. i want to start with the up-close view that you got of president trump last night, you were sitting in that friends and family box with them. there has been a lot of speculation because folks haven't heard him address the country since what happened over the weekend. i know you spoke with him after the shooting. do you think that he's changed after that attempt i mean, as a person, you're going to you're going to change a little bit after something like that, right? you can't help it, help it, but his spirit and his fight has it i spoke to and the day after he was cracking jokes like he always does you speak to him early in the morning? i mean, the guys an animal. he doesn't it doesn't ever sleep. i mean, i get text messages from 1:00 for 30 in the morning. and i think i was talking to him at 7:00 in the morning. it was just like any other day except he was he acknowledged that it was only by the grace of god that he turned his head to look at the graph on immigration that saved his life. he said, i
11:07 am
heard the bullet whizzed through my past my ear before i actually felt the pain and then he made a joke because you can tell my ears are jacked up from wrestling on my years and he says my ears are going to be messed up like yours. and so why he acknowledged the lord, he also acknowledged the fact that it was a close call, but he had it with tumor but i think what you're going to hear is a unity message. i know he, i know he changed his speech because he said he was going to change a speech and it's taken away some more of the divisiveness that's plagued both parties. and maybe talking about the country as a whole and how we move forward as a country and get away from this boiling point that brought us to where we're at i want to ask you about the investigation into the security situation at the rally on saturday because house speaker mike johnson has called for the resignation of the director of the secret service currently cheatle. >> do you think she should resign you know, listen, this is a line of work i used to do in so understanding protect us
11:08 am
service detail work, understanding of the perimeter rings. >> you have three rings, 12 and three. outer ring is typically set up by local law enforcement. you he the inner ring that's more of your really tight security where you're checking all the bags, everybody coming in, you'll see more swat or more of a military presence and then you have the inner circle, that diamond, that's the guys at jumped on president trump right at the end of it i think when you start looking at it, where was the breakdown? there's no excuse for having a building within 150 foot or 150 yards of the podium with a direct line of sight, there is no excuse for that. but what happened was a person it's in the aic, the agent in charge. did they did that? they send up a request for more resources and was denied was that actually supposed to be secured? and they outer perimeter didn't have anybody station because their manpower that were supposed to be there didn't show up that day so before you can actually call for someone's resonation, i think you had to to do an an investigation, there was a
11:09 am
failure obviously. so where does it where does that fell? you're happen. what was that break point? and that's where you had to that's someone needs to be fired. but wherever that break point was is where that should happen. now for when all the way the head then the buck stops at the top, at the end of the day the united states secret service is the one that's in charge of all of it, even though they're using local law enforcement. there. the one in charge of all of it. but we don't know the plan that they had laid out. >> senator, i want to ask you about your senate colleague, jd vance, who said deliver the keynote speech tonight as we heard from alayna, he is going to talk a bit about foreign policy in the past. he has said things about ukraine that don't line up with the historic view that republicans have had of america's place in the world. he's essentially said that he doesn't care about what happens in ukraine do his views align with yours on that issue? >> jd and i have different opinions on a few things, but jd is a smart guy. mean we had this group called the red shirt freshman and we get together and have dinner all the time together. so i've got to know
11:10 am
jd on a very personal level, super smart guy. i mean, you mentioned the yale school a yale law graduate, also a buckeye, which i don't hold that against him because i went to the rural oklahoma state osu but i i think we all make decisions based on two things. the way are raising our life experiences he doesn't really set on the committees that have jurisdiction over this security posture. we have in the middle east or in europe. and so when you start getting reports on your desk and you're getting briefings on your desk you get a different insight to it and i know he has the ability to change. i know it has the ability to absorb knowledge and make decisions based on what's in front of him because you saw the way he changed his direction towards president trump, right so he will he will adapt to his new role and be the leader that he needs to be. and i'm confident on that that's interesting and not a perspective that i'd heard before when it came to his view of the more sort of isolationists america first view of trump foreign policy.
11:11 am
>> i do want to ask you though about the first night of the rnc. were you surprised that sean o'brien had, quote, you guys almost gotten a bra yeah, but shone an eye we work past that. president trump called me months ago and it actually right after the first meeting he had with sean o'brien and he said, hey man, you too nice to meet you guys need to sit down and talk. you might have actually some more in common and we started talking and we ended up meeting at a little talian restaurant, had a great conversation. and we have a love for passion for working out together. we both came up by our bootstraps, pull them up working hard and blue collar jobs and so we actually get along and he texts me, i text him right afterwards. we're laughing about it. i will say i if i would have to drink in my mouth, i would've spit it out when he quote, i thought it was pretty funny when he said, stand your butt up but we do have a relationship now, we've worked past it and that happens sometimes i tell people all the time, i don't take things personal like that. i used to get paid to fight. i'm not i'm not looking to fight for
11:12 am
free. and so it's not something personal to me. and once we get past that point, when i met with him, what shawn did, the first thing he said, he says, man, i'm sorry. he said i read everybody's by on that day. it is, but yours. i should read yours. and i looked at him, but that was before my buddy even sit sit down at the table and i sit i sit and told him i said john, that means a lot to me and that's how the conversation started and has done nothing but grown from there. >> senator markwayne mullin. great to get your perspective. appreciate your tone. thank you. thanks so much. >> still ahead this hour. we're covering all the headlines out of the rnc plus after days of public silence congressman adam schiff is now calling on president biden to drop out of the race. the most prominent democratic lawmaker to do so, thus far. we also have some disturbing new details about saturday's assassination attempt on former president trump including some of what we were just discussing with the senator, how the gunman went through security screening more than three hours before the attack, those details straight ahead cnn is live from

11:18 am
thank you so much for being here you've seen a lot of stars made at these conventions and for folks that aren't familiar with jd vance from hillbilly elegy or even his relatively short time in the senate. what do you think he has to do with connect to connect with viewers? >> well, it's interesting. we talked to some of the top trump campaign and convention officials now say he's got to introduce himself to the american people because most people don't know who he is and it is a compelling personal story of this kid who grew up first enrolled well, kentucky that in southwest ohio mom addicted to drugs, basically brought up by his grandma and grandpa's as you say road hillbilly elegy about how he some people call them the voice of the rust belt that all the things that we think about in terms of people who feel like they've been left behind, people dealing with an opioid crisis. he lived to all of that he then enlisted in the marine,
11:19 am
spent six years there, left went ohio state, did very well, so well, he ended up at yale law school. so it's a compelling personal story and i think to some degree, he is almost the intellectual voice of maga. i mean, he has lived it and he's a very smart guy i think he'll be able to explain it. what it means to the forgotten people as they're called. and to explain it to the country, he's in terms of policy he's about as far away from reaganism and george w bush as you can imagine, he is anti-interventionist. he has famously said, i don't really care what happens to ukraine. he's anti-free trade pro tariffs, pro breaking up big corporations. and interestingly enough, i don't know if it will hear this, but this may have been what sealed the deal for him to be the running mate with with donald trump he has said that if he had been vice
11:20 am
president january 2 set of mike pence he would have allowed the congress to debate all of those challenge states and potentially to choose the trump electors, the so-called fake electors over the real electricity also has said, you know, as far as supreme court rulings are concerned, let them try to enforce it, not necessarily presidents would comply with the supreme court, which is pretty radical stuff. >> it undoubtedly feels like a pivot point stepping back and looking more broadly at the platform of the republican party. obviously you had donald trump in 2016, sort of shaking up what had been the established policy of republicans for a long time. but now this is cementing in a different direction, as you noted, less interventionist foreign policy wanting to break up corporations. we heard from sean o'brien the first night at the rnc, a union head talking about more policy that would help working americans and things like that. what does it tell you about where the republican party is headed more
11:21 am
broadly? >> well, i think what it says, you're exactly right in 2016, donald trump thought he needed to pick somebody to shore up his support inside the republican party. so i took mike pence because he thought that there were were a lot of doubts about his standing with evangelical's christian fundamentalists. i think donald trump now now thinks this is my party and instead of trying to reach out in other ways, i think i'm going to cement this. you've heard a lot about project 2025 and trump has distanced themselves from it, but a lot of its tenants are embraced by jd vance, for instance, the idea of getting rid of a lot of civil service vince even though that's questionable legally, and filling the administration with trump loyalists. so i to me this is an indication trump thinks he is in control of the party. he's going to pursue his agenda and he sees jd vance as somebody who can help them do that, given what we saw unfold last night with a slate
11:22 am
of republicans that had been extremely critical of donald trump previously coming forward and endorsing him and getting ovations from the crowd for doing so i'm curious to get your thoughts on what you saw that stood out to you from nikki haley, ted cruz, marco rubio, and ron desantis. >> well, those other people that you mentioned, crews and desantis and rubio, i thought their endorsements and their presence here was energetic on their part, fully embraced by them, fully embraced by the convention, and fully embraced by donald trump. >> what struck me was nikki haley i thought that was a pretty chilly reception. yes. she said i fully endorse donald trump, but she didn't seem happy to be here. and donald trump, although he had invited her and obviously wanted her to bend the knee, if you will, and also to reach out to her supporters, which is a significant part of the republican party to say, hey, coming we'll long and support this guy even if you don't agree 100%, you could tell she
11:23 am
didn't like being here and i don't think donald trump particularly enjoyed listening to where he wanted to have her make the statement. but i don't think all of those slings and arrows from the primaries and some of the things she's said about him have been completely forgotten. >> chris always appreciate them respective. we actually want to listen and because olivia troye is in michigan and is set to introduce vice president kamala harris, who is set to make some important remarks. we should note troye, a former trump administration official. let's listen to restore the protections of roe versus wade the choice this november it's clear the biden-harris ticket is the only choice that will protect a woman's right to choose and access to reproductive health care now i'm proud and excited to introduce a champion for our freedoms. someone who has dedicated her life to making
11:24 am
our communities safer and fighting for the people our first woman, vice president kamala harris good afternoon. >> good afternoon. please have a seat, everyone, please have a seat is really good to be back in michigan. i want to thank you all for the work you're doing. i'm going to say debbie stabenow, where are you she did that extraordinary senator viewers over there somewhere thank you, van every time i think i've come to the state, she's meant me on the tarmac, including today. thank you for your leadership. always. thank you before we begin our
11:25 am
conversation today with these two extraordinary leaders. >> i do want to discuss briefly what happened on saturday. have not had a chance yet to publicly talk about it. but i will say a few words about the attempt on the life of former president trump over the weekend as we all know, it was heinous, horrible and cowardly act my husband, doug and i are thankful he was not seriously injured that day as soon as we saw what was happening, we said a prayer for his well-being and our thoughts immediately turned to melania who we have met, and their family the bottom line is no one should have to fear for the safety of a loved one because they serve in public office our heart goes out to the family of corey comperatore, a true hero, who died protecting his family and doug and i, of course, are
11:26 am
holding them close in our hearts. we are also wishing those who were critically injured that day, a swift and full recovery and we are thankful to the united states secret service, the first responders and local authorities the united states of america i believe, is the greatest democracy in the world has ever known yes but in the aftermath of this weekend's shootings and shooting, excuse me, one of the questions we now confront the one of the questions we now confront is about the way we should engage with one another in this campaign. on sunday evening, our president joe biden, issued a call for unity and there must be unity around the idea that while our nation's history has been scarred by political
11:27 am
violence violence is never acceptable. there can be no equivocation about that at the same time. the hallmark of american democracy, the hallmark of any democracy is a strong competition of ideas policies, and a vision for the future and just as we must reject political violence we must also embrace a robust discussion about what is at stake in this election the surest way to reaffirm the strength of our democracy is by engaging in a vigorous and civil exchange of ideas and one of the ideas and one of the principles that is at stake in this election is the issue of
11:28 am
reproductive freedom. and that is why i'm here today to discuss that topic. and i look forward to our conversation. thank you all very much so we've been listening to vice president kamala harris in portage, michigan opening her remarks there by addressing the attempted assassination of former president donald trump over the weekend some things she described as a heinous act. >> she said that soon after it happened, her focus, her prayers were for donald trump. her thoughts were with melania, the former first lady, and their family she echoed president biden in his remarks over the weekend saying that violence is never acceptable. she said that no one should fear violence over their political belief. she then went on to acknowledge that the incident opened up questions about ways to engage with one another in the campaign that
11:29 am
keep the focus on civility, but also drawn into question major issues. she said, quote we must also embrace robust discussion about what's at stake in this election. and then she pivoted her focus to reproductive rights, which is part of the conversation that she's having. there. as we speak, we're of course, going to monitor this event with the sitting vice president, kamala harris as there are also questions about whether president biden will remain and at the top of the democratic ticket and bring you the latest as we get it, stay with cnn. we're back in just a few minutes oh my god i got to get out watch old episodes of in practical jokers on a new network. thursday's attack on tbs. >> if you have chronic kidney disease, you can reduce the risk of kidney failure with parsi because their places like

77538388 to are visit home served.com. >> i'm zachary cohen and washington and this is cnn we're learning new details about that would be assassin and what he was doing before he opened fire on former president donald trump over the weekend law enforcement officials tells cnn that the shooter was spotted at the trump rally site about three hours before the shooting, police began keeping an eye on him after he passed through the magnetometers with a rangefinder that's a device often used by hunters that resembles binoculars investigators aren't sure where he went after he left the secure area but this photo obtained exclusively by our affiliate wpxi taken of the shooter, at least 26 minutes before shots were fired we want to get to cnn's danny freeman, who is outside the shooter's
11:35 am
home and bethel park, pennsylvania. >> he has more on the investigation, so danny, tell us more about this photo and why an officer felt compelled to take it? >> yeah. listen, boris, these photos that we're about to talk about really start to paint a larger picture not only of what was in the mindset of law enforcement officers leading up to that fateful moment when thomas matthew crooks opened fire on the former president. but also it shows a larger picture of what happened and after the fact. so let me just describe this so you can see this is the photo. it's a profile photo of thomas matthew crooks. and the reason we understand that local law enforcement were the ones who actually took this photo was because they had seen him acting suspicious around these metal detectors and he had, as you describe boris, a rangefinder, like you said, it's used by hunters it's used by other sharpshooters. and the purpose is you can use that to determine how far away a given item or location is. that was enough to put him on police's
11:36 am
radar and then i should say this photo was provided to us by affiliate wpxi, and they also provided other photos found after the shooting we see here a photo of the cell phone that thomas crooks was allegedly carrying, and also a transmitter that was nearby. the cell phone as well, and also a bicycle and a backpack that was found nearby that local police believed to be connected to thomas matthew crooks. so again, we're all getting more and more of but picture of not only what happened, just leading up to those moments, but also that law enforcement was aware and was looking for thomas matthew crooks or at least keeping an eye on him prior to him opening fire bars? >> and one, you also have new details about the gunman's actions on the day of the shooting from his father yeah, that's right. >> so we had learned a number of things earlier in the day from law enforcement sources that for example, crooks had called off from work saying that he had something to do. that's what supposedly told
11:37 am
his boss. but now we've also learned that his father has told investigators that he thought his son was going to the rifle range. we've been talking about that all week that he belonged to a rifle range and that that was why he actually took the gun with him. well, then once thomas crooks the sun had been missing and his father had not heard for him for many hours. that's when his father other called police and reported him missing around 11:00 p.m. about five hours after the shooting took place. and then this is when some of the pieces started to come together. and i'll remind you that we learned earlier in the week that one of the ways that law enforcement agents were able to identify thomas crooks to begin with, was the connection specifically with the rifle and his father because the rifle used in this shooting was purchased by his father. again, boris we're getting bit by bit a clear picture of what thomas crooks was doing that day. but at this point, we still do not have any sort of idea what motivated
11:38 am

11:44 am
capacity to serve as president cnn's mj lee is at the white house for us mj has there been any reaction from the white house to this statement from shell? >> if or what is really quite stunning polling here yeah you know, brianna, after that assassination attempt on donald trump on saturday we had seen the public calls on president biden to leave the race. >> really come to a halt. does it? clearly everybody was sort of absorbing the shock and processing what had happened. but here we are. now it is wednesday, some several days later, and it is abundantly clear that the concerns about president biden and his candidacy have not only not gone away, but they really appear to be getting worse. you mentioned congressman adam schiff. now, one of the most prominent democrats have publicly call on president biden to drop out of the race. and the concerns are very real with donors as well. you mentioned that polling before. that was polling that was funded by some democratic donors that are clearly trying to get at a sense of what the
11:45 am
extent of the damage has been since the president's disastrous debate performance on june 27 but in the meantime, the president himself is publicly completely digging in saying that he's not going anywhere. and in addition to that, we now appear to have the president suggesting that he believes that he has some time to turn things around. this is what he told bet notice, whether it's young blacks or young whites or went to spanish or asian americans. they've never focused until after favorite, day. i mean, the idea they're focused intently on election, right now is not there. the point is we're just getting down again john now i'm brianna ever since that terrible debate performance, the president has basically insisted, look, i just need to get out there. >> i need to show voters that i really can do this, but we have been in close touch with so many of our democratic sources and it has been a resoundingly
11:46 am
consensus coming from so many of them. but saying the interviews, the public appearances over the last few days have really not helped getting worse is what one democratic lawmaker just told me this afternoon. >> and despite all the bad news, the dnc is moving forward with plans to virtually nominate biden before the convention. tell us what you're learning there. mj yeah, the dnc is full speed ahead with its plans to virtually nominate the president before the party gets together in chicago. next month in august. this has caused such an uproar. just so everybody knows, obviously, the party's nominee is usually formally nominated at their party's convention. in person, the dnc has had this system in place for a virtual roll call for the president for a while. now, because of issues related to the president being able to get on the ballot, these issues she's have since been resolved, but they are saying that they are moving forward with this anyway. that has created so much backlash from
11:47 am
certain democrats who basically feel like why would we nominate. the president biden any earlier than we have two when clearly these questions about whether he should continue running have not at all been resolved all right. >> mj live for us from the white house. thank you for that report. and in the media in meantime, cnn is learning of a contentious weekend phone call between joe biden and some house democrats. and the details show just how dug in the president is and also how resistant is to entertaining some valid concerns about how his debate performance has eroded some key support. sources say at one point during the call, president biden lashed out in congressman jason crow, who is a moderate democrat after crow said bluntly that voters are concerned about biden especially on the world stage, the president reportedly told crow who is an army ranger who served in iraq and afghanistan, that he knows crow is a bronze star recipient, like his son beau, but that he crow quote, didn't rebuild nato after that, the call only grew more contentious is crow pushed
11:48 am
back, telling the president the voters aren't seeing him that way. and that's when biden told crow, quote, i don't want to hear that crap. and said the congressman could walk away if he wanted to, which crow said he didn't want to walk away, but biden angry, replied that crow should just walk away. our sources say that biden also had a tense exchange with congresswoman chrissy houlahan of pennsylvania pena houlihan reportedly telling the president that she was concerned about his standing in a key county in her battleground state. but biden pushback and suggested he didn't believe her. houlihan then told biden that she had polling to back it up. and according to our sources, biden responded by telling houlihan he'd sent her talking points of everything that he's done for pennsylvania and reminded her that he had married a philly girl joining us now is democratic congressman jared moskowitz of florida. sir. thank you so much for spending a little time with us this afternoon. were you on that
11:49 am
call? >> i was on that call. >> so you are this houlihan saying that she has polling that shows he's in trouble. and the president's response is to say that he'll get her talking points you know, why do you think the president is dismissing what appear to be some valid concerns backed up by data we'll look, i'm not going to talk about the details of those calls. i will confirm that there were some tense exchanges with members. i will give you kind of an overall view point of kind of the back-and-forth exchanges is i'm deeply concerned that the president's circle, the people who are working around the president who quite frankly have kept him in a bubble for some time, are also not giving him the facts and the polling data on the ground. they're not showing him what we're seeing in our districts what we're seeing in the polling and the movement. and in fact,
11:50 am
the consistency of that polling. and if it wasn't consistent, it's only in a downward trend and so look these discussions are ongoing. that's not the only call that has happened since then but that is the concern that's going on right now within the democratic house caucus. >> the conditions that were laid out by the biden campaign, according to our reporting, for his considering stepping aside were poor performance in fundraising in interviews and polling do you think that the president is meeting his own metrics well, they three for three on that one, if those are the guidelines that they're setting. >> but look, the president will have to make that decision on his own. you can't force a president at his rallies. he's going to happen get there. but ultimately we're trying to defeat donald trump, right? and right now, this has become a referendum on joe biden for the
11:51 am
last several weeks since the disastrous performance, donald trump's at 8:00 unbelievable streak of luck both in the courts and thank goodness you know, ducking and assassin so nation attempt a heinous attempt, an attack on democracy by domestic terrorists in in my opinion. but we need to settle back down and realize the compare and contrast between the democratic agenda and the republican agenda especially with the doubling down of jd vance with that pick women's issues are clearly on the ballot in november as they were on the ballot in the midterms of 2022 i do want to talk to you about that assassination attempt you are on the house oversight committee and there are some important developments there, but i do have one more question for you about the politics of this presidential race, which is that we also have some new reporting today about dnc plans to move forward with a virtual roll call? >> and nomination of biden
11:52 am
ahead of the convention so that it sent well before the dnc starts august 29, it's it's kinda like getting legally august 19, i should say. it's kinda like legally getting married before the wedding, sort of a comparison there originally, they were going to do this because of that ohio requirement for him to be he on the ballot. but that concern has been dispensed do you worry about this move to rush things yeah. >> i don't know why we're bringing back the policies of covid to do the virtual nomination process. i mean, this clearly had to do with when we were when the dates of the convention were set versus wade and the states we're setting their process, but that i think that ship sailed you know, well, long ago, this was set well before the debate that they were going to do this virtual nominating nominating process. so it has nothing to do with what has transpired. but look, i think again, the data is the data and look,
11:53 am
there are three races going on. obviously it's the race to defeat donald trump, which is extremely important to reelect joe biden. and then there's the race for the house. and the race for the senate. and there are a lot of folks out there. myself included the saying, look, we want we want we've got to defeat donald trump. that's number one goal. but at the same time if we can't do that and donald trump happens to win the election. and the country is going to give donald trump the wheel. we got to make sure that there are breaks. and that's why winning the house and the senate is also equally as important. >> turning now to the attempt on former president trump's life, this past weekend, do you think the secret service director, kimberly cheatle, should resign why can tell you there are reports now that after agreeing to come to the oversight hearing on monday, which by the way, should be a bipartisan hearing because of the of the day it happened to be donald trump, but it could have been joe biden, could have been one of my colleagues. >> the politics of who it was doesn't matter to me. there was an assassination attempt on a former president that's an attack on our country. it's
11:54 am
domestic terrorism and america's enemies are loving. what's going on in this country with americans fighting americans. and so the hearing on monday is important to get down to the failures i'm a mile away from marjory stoneman douglas high school in parkland and after we after the shooting and we investigated the failures the sheriff of the county was removed from office due to the lack of training and the lack of response by officers. and so there has to be accountability. you can't just have a failure there were president, foreign president almost gets assassinated and there's no accountability. that's what american tate sometimes about the federal government is that when they see things that go wrong, almost no, no accountability. and so i'm hearing now that she may not come after agreeing to attend the hearing on monday, i can tell if she doesn't show up on monday absolutely. she should either resign or be fired. but if she comes on monday, we need to do a thorough investigation to find
11:55 am
it all the details and then the chips can fall. where they may. but there has to be accountability for what went on over the weekend she was subpoenaed, as we understand it. >> is that your understanding? >> yes, he has been sent a subpoena because after agreeing to come on monday all of a sudden there was some waffling on whether or not she would be able to attend. i support that subpoena, by the way. >> all right. congressman, thank you so much. really appreciate your time this afternoon. i do want to go now to milwaukee where jd vance, the republican vice presidential running mate on the trump-vance ticket, is now speaking at his first campaign event i just want to say a few things now. >> first of all, we have we have some press in the background for the next ten minutes here. so i have to be carefully, i don't want to give anything away from what i'm going to say tonight. i joke with the president that i'm very excited about this evening, and i don't plan to screw it up, but if i do it's too late. >> he made that pick, right?
11:56 am
it's official now warning get out there and try to fire up the crowd tonight and make the case a very easy case to make, but an important case to make that we have got to reelect president donald j. trump to the white house, right now, what we'll do here is talk a little bit about, about what is at stake in this election. i'll talk a little bit about what i'm going to try to do as his as his running mate. and i'll talk a little bit about why the biden presidency has been just a fit. it's been such a complete failure but what i'll first what i'll do after my remarks actually is trying to take some photos and hang out if you've got anything going to sign, you guys are going to hear me speak tonight for much longer time. they're going to hear me speak today and i'd like to get actually visit with you a little bit, so hopefully you're ready because i'd love to just talk with people and answer some questions and take some photos. but, you know, i keep on thinking to myself, what's the best way? and this
11:57 am
is part of what i've been going through as i think about what i'm going to say tonight, what is the best way to articulate why it is that reelecting president trump is so important and they're all of these different spins that you could take on it. one is you could say with apologies to our friends back there, the media has lied more aggressively and slander asli about a guy any keeps on coming through it. he keeps on persevering. he keeps on fighting president trump has taken everything that they've thrown at them and he's come out stronger and the country has come out better for her service. we should be grateful to them and i know that all of us in this room absolutely are but it's the way that we saw that the contrast between the lie that the media tells about president trump and the man that all of us actually know. of course we saw it in really really stark definition on
11:58 am
saturday because i'm sure that all of you had a similar reaction to me. you see the video your friends start telling you that oh my god, they just shot the president and then when i first saw the clip, i was worried, you know, you saw him go down and i didn't know what was going on afterwards. i was so terrified that we had just lost a great president, but an unbelievably terrible thing for our country. in that moment in time, i was just so, so afraid for him and so afraid for our country and then of course he stands up a minute later after they shot them, they literally shot them and he raised his fist in the air and he says fight, fight, fight these fires up the crowd but this is where the media was really dishonest. and i think they really miss what the man is made of because after he literally got shot, came with it and millimeters of losing his life in the service of this country. what do you do?
11:59 am
>> i remember what i did. i was i was as soon as i knew he was okay. i felt relief and then i was like, i cannot believe an assassin tried to take down the president united states. i was mad about it was he mad and angry? he called for national unity. he called for calm. he showed leadership. >> my friends, that the media keeps on saying they want somebody to tone down the temperature. >> will donald trump got shot, any tone down the temperature that's what a real leader does. there's another spin on the contrast again between joe biden and donald trump that i think it's important to take on, you know president trump obviously is one of those successful real estate executives. and the history of our country. of course, the trump name became synonymous with, with luxury and with beauty in the real estate
12:00 pm
world. and joe biden, of course, likes to pretend that he's just scranton joe. i don't think joe biden knows much about what he is or isn't these days but the guy who actually connects with working people in this country is not fake. scranton joe, it's real president donald trump because they know because they know that he has their best interests at heart. he know they know that when he was president for four years groceries and gas, and energy and housing were actually affordable to a normal person in this country. and after four years of the biden administration, the basic trappings of a good middle-class life have become less and less attainable in my home state of ohio, the average ohio family is about $10,000. poorer than they were four years ago. and of course, ronald reagan famously asked in a great debate, i think it was jimmy carter, he said, were you, are you better off than the st american people in a
