the message. and, you know, tucker, i thought gave a great speech. i thought that he you know, when he said trump became a leader of a nation, not just a president, because the leader the difference between a leader and say a president is anybody can be a president but the bravest man becomes the leader. and i thought that was like that was the shift. i think that people notice their and you can't dispute it. and i think he it's it's a humbling a humbling experience to know that there's you can't control these things and your entire life you have what do you ever get in a near miss a car accident or you know you go near a cliff or something, something happens. it affects you for days, you thinking about it, you're running over that experience. and i'm sure he is. >> he said once i wrote down this line, i, i ask you with great humility to get excited for the future. >> yeah, that is such not a trump line. yeah. never used to talk like that. yeah.

look at the heat on janet because i my name day the secretary of defense for a black man be happy. he said black man. >> well, i'm surprised he didn't take credit for appointing all five of the harlem globetrotters. that wasn't a brain. that was a brain dump. biden then told the same old fake story he's told before about being arrested when he was a teen. >> i remember when you were a kid and their desegregating mayfield neighborhood. i mean, they want the whole neighborhood neighborhood calm. until you were 14 or 15 years old. i told you not to go down there because there were people protesting. but you went down and you got arrested for being in the course of the black family and that brought you back home. i said, yeah, i remember that man. >> yeah. how convenient. the only witness to this story is his mother. >> i don't think we can call her up without a ouija board,

but he's remembering something that never happened. if biden was ever on a black families porch, he was probably lost. >> even "the washington post" and cnn say so. fact checking it twice before saying there's no evidence of it happening. but it's not like that ever stops. joe. he's moments away from describing his time driving miss daisy too soon, too late, pat. what? why does he keep bringing up these stories? he all i feel like he's got a tape running in his head. yep. and it's like talking about black people. forget that. rewind to that story that he beat up and clicks and he doesn't care. it's not even thinking. >> yeah, like, it reminds me. there's this girl at my college, remember? she's like, get really wasted and make up stories and tell a lot of the same ones. >> and that's what the president got her. yeah, i actually don't think

that anybody really thinks that, like, he's fine or okay. i think that there are people who are trying to make it seem like, no, he's okay because they just don't think he's going to step aside anyway, right? i don't think anybody actually watches that and thinks that, oh, there's a man who's. >> yeah, ready to lead. tom, any republican said my secretary of state, the black man, whoever is it, take it. >> and he says it like he's like pointing out somebody in a lineup. yeah. and then the black man and then he is. >> it is the same guy that disappeared. lloyd austin. >> yes, yes, it's lloyd austin. no wonder he ain't even know he was gone. who's missing? where? where's the black guy? is he park in the car. i don't know, james. for a chap, doctor jill. >> but the funny part about it is he's, he, he couldn't say lloyd austin. he couldn't think of a name. she called him the black man and then he just pivoted and he said, dodge brown jackson

because that was a name you could think of. yes, it's actually him, but he's playing a game of trivial pursuit, the urban edition. >> and he uses these stories like he thinks he's going to relate to black people with only negative stereotypes. >> yeah, i got arrested like. like you blacks do. and me and corn pop, we we talk about in the movies. >> he's just coming up with stereotypes. yeah, we love you, joe. yeah. what do you. charlie, this cat have a point that now he's just so irrelevant that nobody really is even listening. >> yeah, but just wait until either he is, he decides to leave, or they decide they have to run with him and they have no other choice. they're going to start building him back up. they're going to do everything they can is going to be amazing. humpty dumpty back together. how can you do that, though? >> they are you kidding me? they make up stuff all the time. they they'll figure out some way to to. but if he retires, he's going to suddenly be gandhi. oh, they're going to like,

you know, it's going to be this like. so either way, he wins. yeah. yes, i do. i have a no. i just think this isn't going to end well. and his career like this is the worst way a thirsty, power hungry politician wants to go to. >> remember, he was a guy. he it was his side that said that you'll never be able to get trump out of the white house if you put him back in there. this guy is like holding on to the door handle like, look, there is nothing worse than a thirsty 81-year-old vendor account. well, what are you doing on tinder? >> look, the pitch also, by the way, is that this guy may not be able to make it from the bed to the bathroom, but he's an honest man. yes. yeah. and this is what you get? yeah. >> they're just lying to you all the time. yeah, but they're not even trying that hard anymore with their lies. i mean, they used to be able to be pretty good at gaslighting us. now they're just.

>> i don't know, i think they're going to take it to new levels. like you're saying. remember when there was this little boomlet of a conspiracy where they were talking about how, you know, it's donald trump is losing his mind? yeah, donald trump, who would not be able to make it through a debate or through a speech without saying something like insane. and it's like and i think maybe some people sort of kind of went along with him, but that's because they already sort of were with those people anyway. >> yeah, you know what it's like. this is what the 25th amendment is for, but nobody's going to like, is that kamala harris' job? and we know how good she is at doing her job. coming up that director of the secret service runs away because she's nervous at simplisafe. >> your safety is the only thing that matters. we design smarter ways to detect motion for fast emergency response. we create hd cameras so you can see what's happening in your home from anywhere. all powered by fast. protect technology exclusively

i can give you a chance. you with nothing. you press? >> yes, ma'am. and tom, what are your thoughts about this in general? >> my first thought was like, i can't even believe she's here. >> yeah, you know, but it's your job. >> i know. that sounds amazing. i was like, oh, wait, she's got to protect, you know, trump is here and she has an actual job to do. but that made me think, why wasn't she in pennsylvania? yes. and i think at this point, with all the speculation that's going on, i think we all owe alex jones an apology. oh, because he got fined a half a billion dollars just for speculating about something and getting a little crazy with his theories. but now there's the craziest theories. joy reid is openly speculating that he faked the assassination and then we got right wingers. i see them all over the internet. >> they're thinking that, you know, it was a plot to kill trump like the government wanted to kill him. that's the way it should be. >> everyone should have their crazy ideas and they should be able to say them without

being fined half a billion dollars. >> i don't mind opinions that are crazy. i just. well, what did i say today? >> that was really clever. >> you needed opinions. can be crazy, but crazy can't be an opinion. >> and that's joy reid. and alex jones was crazy. >> well, yeah. and she's a total idiot. and we should all call her an idiot. but, you know, we shouldn't try to end her career. you know, like, what they did to alex jones was very bad. that's unprecedented. we have free speech in this country and a guy was fined a half a billion dollars for speculating. >> not good. >> all right, crackpot. charlie, i believe everything these days. >> by the way, i know you. you're the most gullible person i know. you are the age. i feel bad for agents. we are surrounded by agents out here at the rnc, and i get a sent because they're really good people. i get a sense that they're kind of, like, embarrassed. maybe by this.

they're burack bureaucracy. yeah. and the front line guys are amazing and they risk their lives every day, and they should be. it's extraordinary. and nobody is to serve more than those front line people. when you have somebody like this cheat a lady who has made catastrophic managerial mistakes with the secret service, the thing and i think she should be fired and she should have never been hired first place, obviously. but the thing that i find really annoying about that video is it's like it's like it's so humiliating. >> it's like if only those congressmen chasing her through the halls of congress, i don't know, had the power of the purse and maybe have some take some role in their government capacity to completely defund the entire government until they got what they wanted out of it. >> yeah, you're so right. this is just they look ridiculous. yeah, charlie says it's. she she's not she's not resigning, but she's also not firing anybody.

and she says the buck stops here. i mean, is she protecting buck's now, the buck stops here, but it's like here. yeah. yes. no, it's embarrassing. someone fire someone. yeah, someone fire someone for something. except for once. we are so far from that that there are people who are like, well, it's awfully impolite for them to shout questions at her . >> she just oversaw the shooting of a principal as the head of the secret service. >> and she even a shame. she's like, yeah, no, i'm. >> i'm roland, man. yeah, i'm going to visit the big event. yeah, exactly. and not to wear sunglasses. oh, that are some big sunglasses. yeah, exactly. yeah. she didn't hide herself. kat, this is. how would you have handled that situation when there's a war of big sunglasses? howdy. yes. i mean, yeah, i. i'll. but nothing's going to happen, right? because let's never think

about the secret services are like, well, we just like no other stuff because we're the secret service. >> and, like, you just. you guys just don't get it. they do not sound like that, but yes, they do. all government bureaucrats sound like that. >> i don't know if that would fix this problem. yeah. yes. yeah. all right, we got to move on. we'll be right back back. well, come to your life. there's nothing to retired governor can do but a president. >> now, you can do a thing oroh two. two. every 30 wants to domo an. happy memories. just come easier on the water. >> our founder, johnny morris, and his dad knew this firsthand. firsthand. they createdboats by mercury. more affordable tracker, more affordable tracker, the world' at bs number one bt selling, fishing and pontoon boats powered by mercury, proudl 5 dolly built in missu and sold factory direct at bass pro shops and select dealersr ur for as little as $5 a day. you can own a brand new trackerr

of himself the world has not seen before. >> if the events of last saturday make anything clear, it is that every single moment we have on earth is a gift from god. >> the goal was to outline a message for the country of unity for the people. >> the attacker in pennsylvania wanted to stop our movement, but the truth is, the movement has never been about me. >> it has always been about you and trump mentioning joe biden's name just twice in the speech as sources tell fox, it is only a matter of days until biden drops out of the race. we've got team fox coverage on the final night of rnc with aisha husni and mark meredith. we begin with aisha husni. >> aisha. good evening. tracy, good evening to you. the former president speaking for over 90 minutes. it sounded more like a speech out of a rally than at a convention. but he talked in great detail,

great personal emotional detail for the first time. taking us all in the country minute by minute through those events that happened when he was nearly. >> watch. my hand was covered with blood. just absolutely blood. all over the place. i immediately knew it was very serious that we were under attack and in one movement proceeded to drop to the ground . there was blood pouring everywhere. and yet, in a certain way, i felt very safe because i had god on my side. >> i felt that trace. the former president thanked the secret service for putting their really own lives at risk for him. and then he talked about the fallen firefighter in pennsylvania who shielded his family and died. as a result, he walked over and kissed the helmet and uniform of that firefighter. and then he stuck to policy.

after that, he talked about inflation, energy independence, the border, china, while only saying the president's name twice, all of it ending with a call for unity. >> we are americans. ambition is our heritage. greatness is our birthright. but as long as our energies are spent fighting each other, our destiny will remain out of reach. and that's not acceptable. we must instead take that energy and use it to realize our country's true potential and write our own thrilling chapter of the american story. and trace the former president and his new nominee for vice president will hit the campaign trail practically immediately. they had two grand rapids, michigan, on saturday for a big rally there indoors as well. >> i want to just show you really quickly, i don't know if you heard all that popping behind me. they're actually trying

to clean up right now. they're popping all the balloons all over the place because it quite a show at the end of this convention when the balloon drop happened. pretty, pretty incredible sight. but you could see the result. a lot of scraps of balloons everywhere. got to clean that up, tracy and the trump kids who are elated by all the balloons out there. aisha hosni, exceptional work. thank you. we appreciate it. let's bring in axiom strategies. aaron perrine and fox news contributor steve hilton. welcome to both of you. aaron, to you first. i mean, what did you think of the former president's speech? was it unifying? >> i think if you are the trump team this evening, you feel good about this speech and you feel great about this convention. what the majority of the people are going to see was that really unifying opening part of that. then trump kind of came back into his own, went back to a more of a rally style speech. but what people will see are the clips of the unifying message saying, let's put politics aside and let's put america first. and then they're going to see clips of hulk hogan, dana white and kid rock. this was a great week for

donald trump. and we all saw a different side of him today, which really humanize him. >> and sharing that story was such a powerful moment. yeah, and steve hilton, do you now, aaron, kind of talks about the moments of the speech. here's one of them where the former president talks about rising together or falling apart. >> we rise together or we fall apart. i am running to be president for all of america, not half of america, because there is no victory in winning for half of america. >> 90 3 minutes. steve so it checked in a little longer than most people anticipated. did he hit the high notes? did he do what he had to do out there? >> 100%. >> and i think the interesting thing about what we saw tonight, a lot of people are saying, well, it's a different trump and the experience just five days ago, remember, changed him. no, i think what we saw tonight

was the real trump, the true trump that's been there all along. and people haven't really appreciated it. and that was shown in a number of ways in the substance of the speech. if you actually look at the arguments he made on policy, these are the things he's been saying in terms of america. first, on manufacturing and jobs and trade and borders. there was a video before the speech that showed that donald trump has been saying these things for decades. and that's consistent. the style of the speech. he's not like a regular politician who just reads out scripts that have been written for him. the fact that it was so personal and he went off script in a convention acceptance speech was absolutely classic donald trump. but the real thing was the emotion. what it showed was this man, this extraordinary man after those extraordinary events on saturday has got the republican party 100% behind him in an emotional

and intense way that we've never seen before in american politics. >> you know, steve's talking about the evolution of trump, how it's been happening for a while. erin perrine but it's interesting because, you know, you look at things like politico and politico had this very long story about this shift in trump, and it reads as follows quoting here gop allies in roughly a dozen interviews used words like emotional and serene, even spiritual, to describe trump. in the days since the attempt on his life, a person close to the former president's family described him taking on humility in the biblical sense. i mean, a dozen people, all with kind of the same conclusions, aaron, seems fairly significant. >> no, it is very significant. really. the american people saw a side of donald trump they have never seen before. i was in milwaukee. i saw steve while we were there. the feeling was palpable in the arena. the republican party felt the shift because you felt the shift in donald trump.

and that's something that unified the party to bring us together as we are going into november. contrast that with democrats who are in complete chaos, trying to boot their own president off the ballot and see who they can try and stand up very quickly to try and beat donald trump. this is donald trump's to lose . and the more he shows of that human side of himself, the bigger the wins going to be for him. steve, she talks about democrats being in chaos. i want to play a sound bite of john king on cnn talking about the polls right now. >> if donald trump just one deep red, solid republican, light red lean republican, if he just won the states on this map that we have is either solid or leaning, he's already the next president, united states. >> yeah, it seems like it puts more pressure on joe biden. >> steve. well, i mean, look, i've been one of the people on your show trace an across this network that said for the longest time, joe biden's not going to go. he's going to cling on because he's such a narcissist

and they're not going to be able to kick him out. it feels like those polls and the evidence of donald trump's strength and the reaction that he's had from the country, not just the republican party, is just now a flashing red light for the republicans, for the for the democrats and for joe biden. you've got pelosi, you got obama. you got all this pressure. it looks like he's out by the beginning of next week. but the real point, i think, is that the strength of donald trump and the republican party and their message to lift up working people in america, i think that's going to prevail. whether it's biden or kamala harris or anyone else they put up. >> it's interesting, steve and i got to go here. but and it's interesting because the the biden campaign came out again tonight saying, no, no, no, the new york times is wrong. politico's wrong actually is wrong, wrong, wrong. president biden is staying in this race until the end. steve hilton, aaron perrine, thank you. we appreciate your time. thank you for the main event tonight. hulk hogan, dana white and a host of other high profile

speakers fired up the crowd and set the stage for the former president, mark meredith, live in milwaukee with the highlights. >> mark, good evening, trace. good evening to you. what a final night of the rnc. it was. we heard from preachers, we heard from golf pros and we heard from pro wrestlers, all of them making the case for the former president as well as the republican ticket. yes, the big moment of night, of course, was trump's speech as well as the balloons that came afterwards. but inside the convention hall, people went nuts as hulk hogan, the legendary wrestler, the 70 year old, ripped off his shirt and also made it clear that while he is necessarily new to politics, he doesn't like to speak out. he felt after the assassination attempt against trump that he felt like he could not hold back any longer. >> so all you criminals, all you lowlifes, all you scumbags, all you drug dealers and all you crooked politicians need to answer one question,

brother. what are you going to do when donald trump and all the troubled maniacs run wild? our new brother. >> it was an interesting moment, to say the least. kid rock also revved up the crowd with his performance ahead of trump's speech. he even inserted trump's name into one of his songs. and while it appeared he was lip synching, the crowd seemed to love it. ufc president dana white had the notable task of introducing trump. and similar to hulk hogan, he urged americans to see trump as a fighter. and i'm not telling you what choice to make, and i'm not telling you what to think. i'm telling you what i know. i know america needs a strong leader in the white house, needs a strong america. trump once again made his family a central part of the convention. we saw the former first lady, melania trump, out there, as well as his son, eric, really trying to tell the crowd that they appreciate all the support that they've gotten in the last week, but that

they realize they still have a big job ahead of them. trace, we talked to a number of delegates throughout this convention who said they were impressed with how it was organized. no major hiccups. but now, of course, comes the hard work that they're going to face off when they get back into these battleground states, just like the candidates will this weekend. >> mark meredith, great work out there, mark, thank you. let's bring in the co-host of the everybody settle down podcast, eric messersmith can take a look at the media stuff for us here. >> so van jones kind of inadvertently, i'm not sure if it was on purpose or not, made quite a headline tonight when he said the following on cnn. >> watch. this whole thing is like this and hey, hey, hey, guys. the last time i was at the convention, it felt like this was obama 2008. >> there's something happening, kind of like a campaign poster, right, eric? there is something happening. and it really i guess, tracked on social media, got a lot of attention. and for for good notice when a guy like that is saying something like that about the rnc. yeah think that's true and i think there's several reasons

for that. >> first of all, i think the takeover, the party by trump is now complete. that wasn't the case in 2016. even in 2020 with the virtual convention. and now you can tell everyone is behind him that they believe in his movement and the man. >> also, you have to give them credit for a really well-produced convention. a lot of the everyday people, i think, really hit home. then you had some big stars there. it really was pretty much flawless, at least in its execution. and so i think you put those things together. also, the third element is they're very confident they're going to win this race. >> yeah, they're ahead in the polls. they know what the democrats are in disarray. and i think that confidence comes through. >> yeah, i mean, look, i had a friend texting me who was actually watching the trump speech inside fiserv arena tonight and saying this thing is it's unbelievable in here. the feeling and the and the unity in here. so here's joe biden, the medley from the media. >> watch this. president biden is now self-isolating. both medically and politically. is he aware that basically

the entire party has given up on him? >> if you pull back and look at this thing, strength versus weakness, a bullet couldn't stop trump. >> a virus just stopped biden. what is certain is he is not in a position to win this race any alive. >> i always find it a little curious when the liberal media starts eating its own. i mean, this thing is one of those things where they're like, joe, it's time to go. three days ago, they're like, oh, no, he's in it for the long haul. now he's back to he's got to go. i don't get it. well, what i was on here three weeks ago, right after the debate. i said, i think he will go, but it'll take a little bit of time. i didn't think it would take this long. and i don't think most democrats thought so either. and when they started applying the pressure, suddenly you saw some rank and file members come out. people in competitive races that wasn't enough. and so they went behind closed doors. nancy pelosi, chuck schumer. and that was enough. and so what you've seen in the last few days is now the next step, which is they've deliberately leaked that to the media to put it out there, that it's time. i think this will work. but if not the last ep is for

them to come out publicly and make that call. >> yeah, there's something there's something beneath it all. >> that's the whole thing is, you know, there's maybe pelosi ,maybe it's schumer, whatever. but there is this force coming from all sides. joe biden and he's sitting there and rehoboth thinking, i don't know why this is very coincidental. meantime, the same doctor who said, you can no longer talk about joe biden and parkinson's is saying this about trump in the ear. >> watch. well, i mean, i think it's it is completely bizarre that the former president and current candidate for president was, you know, apparently injured by a bullet on saturday night and there has been no official report of of his evaluation, apparently injured by a bullet, no real report or what's going on. the doctor who's like do not talk about joe biden and, his his mental capacities. and let's talk about trump in the air. >> i mean, the report is what we all saw. a bullet grazed his ear and caused some bleeding.

but the report we really need to see is the report a secure any failure? that is the report that is going to tell us more than you know, anything else and really get to the heart of what happened that day. yeah, i want to put this up because this is this is the msnbc crew. right. and it looks like where does it look like they are? can we put this up, katie? this is rachel maddow and the rest. and they're sitting in front of a screen. they're sitting big television screen like you do here in tv that acts like, well, they're at the rnc. you're right. of course they're at the rnc. >> they're in their new york studio and making it look like they are and see what's going on here. you know, i have to say, i was watching cnn the other day for a minute and it fooled me. i was like, what are they? they're they. that's just that's deceptive. you need to put up. it's just to put up a little cg that says where you are so that people know. and you know, if you're at milwaukee or if you're in the studio in new york. yeah. and all we see is msnbc, tuesday, msnbc, wednesday, put up that you're in midtown manhattan and you've got these big things.

>> you makes it look like you're in fight. come on, stop it, eric, thank you so much. >> meantime, there is new reporting tonight that some top democrats believe the pressure is getting to president biden and that he may drop his run for reelection as early as this weekend. the senior national correspondent kevin corke is live in d.c. with breaking information on this. kevin, good evening. trace, good evening. and the godfather, sal, played by the great abe vigoda when he realizes there, you know, taking him for a ride turns to tommy, played by robert duvall, and he asks, can you get me off the hook for, old time's sake? and which, of course, he says, can't it, sally? and tonight, it would appear a similar scene is playing out for president biden's 2024 reelection campaign bid because, according to multiple sources, several top dems now believe the pressure is so intense, so great. the 81 year old could be persuaded to drop out of the race as soon as this weekend. >> and while mr. biden is

self-isolating with covid and remains publicly dirty, dug in privately, apparently he's resigned to the fact that there's not only mounting pressure, there are bad polls and an untenable amount of scrutiny on his aides, making it impossible to continue the campaign now behind the scenes, according to axios. the private message distilled from its bluntness form is this. top leaders in the party want you to give it up, including former president obama, along with friends and key donors. they simply don't believe he can win. they also don't believe he could change public perceptions about his age and acuity. >> and they don't believe mr. biden can deliver congressional majorities. again, to reiterate, increasingly, we are hearing tonight that top biden aides, including the ones who initially urged him to fight on after that terrible debate about three weeks ago, even they're now saying it's not enough.

but when mr. biden announces he is not running for reelection, we'll keep an eye on it. this weekend for you from rehoboth. >> but for now, back to you. kevin corke live for us in d.c.. kevin, back to you as the news breaks. let's bring in steamboat institute fellow kayleigh mcgee, white and conservative commentator alicia crouse. thank you both for coming on. so kevin says there you have top aides saying, you know what, maybe he will reconsider and drop out of the way. but we should also point out that here's biden's deputy campaign manager tonight saying this. >> watch our campaign not working through any scenarios where president biden is not on the top of the ticket. he is and will be the democratic nominee. i don't want to be rude, but i do not know how many more times we can answer that. joe biden has said he is running for president of the united states. >> our campaign is moving forward. that's it, alicia. he is running. i don't know. i didn't like the movie titanic. i think i'm the only millennial in my generation that didn't love that movie or leonardo dicaprio. but it's like the titanic.

it's like, well, let the orchestra just keep playing. it's all going to be fine. you know, we have this iceberg and everybody's sinking and dying. the democratic party is literally falling apart. he has people that have been leaders of the party for ever, including the obamas, that are the de facto leader still, even though he hasn't been president in a while, saying, hey, you need to get out of the way. >> this is really bad. but -- but if but if the democratic nominee of his campaign manager, deputy manager, is coming out saying he's not leaving, he's not leaving, is it because joe biden's like, i'm not leaving. >> i'm not leaving. i think it's because joe biden is waiting for a golden parachute to be created for him. this is my conspiracy theory that he's waiting to be told, hey, listen, joe, we'll set you up with a great library. do you want your legacy will continue. you can finish out the presidency. i really think that that's what they're working on right now. >> mollie hemingway writes the following here. caitlin mcgee why, if biden were truly going along with his coup plotters to resign quickly, would schumer, pelosi, etc. be leaking to allied media like they are, or would they be

quietly stage managing a dignified exit? i mean, this is not dignified at all. this is the vultures kind of hovering here waiting for biden to make a decision. >> it is. and she uses a perfect word to describe what's happening, which is it's a coup. and it's quite remarkable because for the past few days, we've talked a lot about how democrats are no longer going to be able to use their doomsday end of democracy campaign slogan after assassination attempt on former president donald trump. but the fact that they killed that campaign message well before he narrowly avoided a bullet and they did so themselves first by defrauding democratic primary voters of any real choice in their primary election, and now by attempting to oust him forcibly and thereby removing tens of millions of democratic voters of the option that they cast their vote for. this is the most anti-democratic party in the history of the united states. they have been for years now.

and so the fact that they would lecture the rest of us about democracy is just completely hypocritical. >> as cnn jake tapper compared this to a famous move we watch to hear top democrats tell it, president biden is like bruce willis, his character in the movie the sixth sense. >> he is the only one who seems unaware of his grim fate. but there is one aspect where they're kind of right. it just doesn't seem like the democratic party has that trump fight, fight, fight fight mentality. they're just kind of giving in and waiting for biden to give in so they can pick somebody else and then jump behind that person. >> i mean, it's the calls for him to step aside, though, are drastically increasing. i just finished an article from the free press, like sitting in the wings where in the tech industry, like liberal donors, super pac groups are saying, hey, listen, maybe an open convention is our best option. they're acknowledging that joe biden is not the best guy. they're acknowledging that kamala harris is not the best gal and rumors of whitmer newsom, who's it going to be? the fact that they're willing to take risk to have an

open convention after they shut down the primary process is fascinating. >> alicia makes a good point. the whole question is one kayleigh mcghee, why does joe biden make it through the weekend? and two, is it kamala harris if he drops out that replaces him ? >> all important questions, and i might eat my words here next week. trace, i don't think that he drops out. i think it's his arrogance right now versus the democratic party's desire for power. and i believe that joe biden actually is more arrogant than people give him credit for. and i think we need to be clear about why democratic leadership is doing this right now. they're not forcing joe biden out because they care about american voters or because they care about the country, because if they did, they wouldn't have let him run for reelection in the first place. right now, they care about one thing and that's their own jobs. they care about their positions ,power. and they are worried that they are going to lose that. if donald trump wins in november. >> yeah, listen, keep the tape rolling back. we're going to see if

kayla mcghee white is right next week and will go from there. thank you so much. we appreciate your time. coming up, new information tonight on thomas crooks and how he did the rifle and hid the rifle ahead of the trump rally. but that leads to more questions like where exactly did he hide it? and later in the nightcap, i'm here tonight to lay out a vision for the whole nation. to every citizen, you're a young or old man or woman, democrat, republican or independent, black or white, asian or hispanic, i extend to you a hand of loyalty and of friendship. >> donald trump giving. his highly anticipated rnc speech tonight after he reportedly tore up his original speech following the assassination attempt on saturday. he rewrote it to focus on unity, to bring the country together. do you think? his speech hit the high notes. and will it help unite the country. >> also, what else do you think the former president should

have might have included in the speech? let us know. x and instagram at trace gallagher will read your responses coming up in the nightcap. >> you told me you wanted to make a difference in this world. >> what would you have me? >> i want you to fight. mr. gorbachev, tear down this wall. >> wants to do work. play, blink, relief, work, play ,blink. >> really? the only three in one extended release formula for dry eyes blink. >> hi, grandma. i played baseball today. oh, that's great. >> what position did you play? first base. that's a great grandpa used to play when our hearing wouldn't allow us to use a

regular phone. >> it made us feel isolated. it became difficult to communicate with our friends and family. clear captions was an easy solution. >> us clear captions provides captions on a phone like captioning on your tv so you can see what the caller is saying. live as they say it, making it easy to understand and respond immediately. >> there is no insurance or medicare required clear captions. service is provided at no cost to you through a federally funded program. we deliver, install and train you on how to use your phone all at no cost to you. give your loved ones the independence and connection they deserve. >> call now to see if you qualify to get a clear captions phone at no cost to you. call one 806 909813. that's 1-800- 6909813. >> once retired, marcus decided, i will never again work for another man or woman. i abandoned my corporate phone plan and i'll get a new plan with consumers selling for up to half the cost. let's go, birds. let's go, birds. when freedomsng.

republican national convention. a moment of silence for corey comparator, who died protecting his family at the trump rally in pennsylvania. his firefighters gear displayed on stage tonight, the national correspondent brian janis is live in butler, pennsylvania, with more on that and the latest on the investigation. >> brian, good evening. trace good evening. former president trump not only let a moment of silence in milwaukee for veteran and retired volunteer firefighter corey comparator. he then walked over on that stage and kissed his firefighter his helmet and jacket that was on the stage at the rnc. the gear was shipped in by the family. the former president says they've raised more than $6 million for the two other victims seriously wounded at the rally. and four, compare it to his family. the 50 year old leaves behind wife and two daughters. >> he lost his life selflessly, acting as a human shield to protect the
