8:30 am
you know, so that at least you know, the quote, the reasons that are associated with this uh, this all the way i think the best way that we points funding for the member. uh, the goal is, was to the right in height to that at least the market for the phones is the thing. so that is what the web, these, these reports are beneficial. that's going to be one who knows what is to be the height the so that it is to get that that's number one number to the bill of the use of a supply s the drug or something i had to supplies and trips on brad in height. they would move was suddenly the load one piece right now. the unrest in the political trouble you see in haiti is the result of decades of us,
8:31 am
the stabilization of 80. because fundamentally they're worried that the country is going to go out of their control. they see china and to some extent, russia on the march across africa, asia, and latin america making the deals making allies, dealing with all kinds of projects. and especially china is built in road initiative. and so he is a the neo colony that they are looking not to lose lot. so we've had time to bring this out. we'd be back in around 30 minutes. load the hope you can join us again. the, it seems like every time i think the plot of the us presidential election cannot
8:32 am
handle another twist, one reveals itself, the latest is or when pushing of the current president joe biden's bid for re election. just 4 months shy of election day and less than 3 days following the close of the republican national convention in milwaukee. a convention which was filled with sides never seen from the state before. like the ripping off of a t shirt by well known wrestler, the poetic words for a major all my info in sir, and of course a presidential candidate sporting a bandage over his recent gunshot wound. the theme for the week was strengthened, unity was a former president able to stay on message, and how would it have affected the r and see if presidential biden would have just let the world know sooner about his plans to withdraw from the race. i'm sky now hughes, and this is perspective the
8:33 am
the game of politics can often be compared to other games. we play whether it be a complex game, a strategy like checkers or one of entrapment like twister. and often politics reflects the same goal as monopoly. just gave as much money as you can well try to stay out of jail. but the 2020 for us presidential election, well, especially the summer months, can easily be related to the game of dominoes. the republicans had often pointed out the health and mental capacity of the current president. so often it became lumped into all the other talking points which cause most americans eyes to glaze over. yet, following a predictably dreadful showing at the 1st presidential debate between the 2 men who were not even officially, there parties, candidates, the democrats were no longer able to cover the obvious. from that moment,
8:34 am
then came the attempted assassination of donald trump. but it came from campaign rally in pennsylvania, which following and i conic moment, which will forever be put in historical books. former present donald j trump became a living martyr for his supporters. many of them gathering at the republican national convention just 48 hours later as i wanted to do something to let them know i was ok. i raised my right arm, looked at the thousands and thousands of people that were restlessly waiting and started shouting, site site site was here. the donald trump announced his vice presidential nominee center j. advance a young man to shy of 40 years of fame. did it come from a service as a marine, or his yell law school degree, but rather his life story being for trade and a popular book turned into a hollywood movie. meanwhile, on the other side of the o, president biden isn't having such a walk as follow
8:35 am
a campaign stop by didn't tested positive for coven rendering him off the campaign trail and into isolation at a very crucial time. there were a few things about the campaign suspensions that were unusual. present a job i didn't ended his 2024 campaign unceremoniously with a letter posted a tweet on ex is not on presidential letterhead and had a digital signature cabinet members and campaign team found out he was battling out from the tweet that was sent out. they were on calls trying to sure of support from delegates. when this all happened, then is chief of staff, not the president is the one who held a meeting with cabinet members to make the official announcement to the team. now legally with him out of the race, all of his delegates are released to pick up whom ever they choose. or they go into an open convention. however, in the same breath bite and endorsed as his vice president commer harris in the fall of tweet and as of july 23rd,
8:36 am
there has been enough delegates have promised to vote for her, making her the presumptive nominee. did this domino effect ultimately lead to the decision for president joe biden to no longer pursue his re election, but well, i want to discuss this with our panel. robin bureau, who is a veteran and farmer brock obama campaign, director stevens. your know is back with us to give this observation as a representative of the young republicans and engine wong, who is the board member of the coalition pack. thank you so much for joining me, robin. this is your show. so i have to ask you, was joe biden stepping down the best option for the democratic party and this election cycle, as it is there became no other option because of what was happening really with the money. you know that the $90000000.00 was frozen by that pack. i held hostage state . they said that they would release it unless button step down to literally any other person on that ticket. uh, so with their just became no other option and it was a financial decision. uh,
8:37 am
i've seen plenty of campaigns die and it's always money if they run out of money it's, it's over. okay, so i've got to ask you angie, considering and just this morning, actually just as reporting bite in the morning of access refer the bottom is not going to leave the race as he would still be grudging to present obama for pushing hillary clinton in the 26th to race over him. and there were countless interviews and statements coming from his administration, saying he was going to stay. so what finally caused the change in his decision? yeah, absolutely. that whole weekend was a disaster. it was a mess. finally, they got him out. he had cove it and he had to go home to delaware for a couple of days while they work out all of the particulars and comma la harris was the successor to being on the ticket. now there's still. 5 things to work out calmly still needs to gain all his delegates, which it looks to be the case as she needs to convince the donor class that she is the one also, you know,
8:38 am
we're hearing from congressional members that well loved their campaigning and their campaign finances are backed up again because of the switch. so all of these came into place it ultimately, it was a decision for joe angel bite in to get off the tickets. what's interesting that you talked about the campaigning and the money came back to play. stevie, he said, come on, harris, bring back some of those demographics. the dems we're struggling with in this election cycle, but they usually do really well with like a youth and minority voters. i don't think so. i think if we look back at 2020 will see that she was one of the most unpopular candidates running at. we saw tulsa gabbert distorted her on a debate stage. and so i don't think she's going to do very well, excuse me. very well, especially considering how ridiculous the past week has been, where we haven't seen the president of the united states. we don't know what's going on with leadership in our country. the vice president has said she is not
8:39 am
going to be at the joint session of congress when prime minister netanyahu is going to be there. so we really don't know what's going on with the leadership in our country. and it'd be nice if someone would give us an answer outside of twitter and get in front of a tv camera tv. i hear what you're saying, but i have to ask compared to what brock a or what we saw a job i. it's really hard to make him look young and cool and hip. i mean they're doing already a pretty good job just in the 1st week. and you had this viral sensation about being a brett of some people started talking about her being a brett. that was sort of things that used to be applied to trump for the last 4 years. he's been able to market that. are, you know, a little bit concerned that issues like that might be a reason that makes young voters actually get back in gauge and potentially look at the democrat party that it might be. but i think having kid rock and hole kogan and dana white at the r and c is going to do more for young people. i think one of the things that we're public interested right at the convention was, instead of acting like a political party, we're instead focusing on making
8:40 am
a cultural movement to where it's going to be fun and cool to be a republican. where for the past 20 years, 15 years it's been cool to be a democrat. so i think we've made some positive steps in making it fun to be a republican. it's interesting and bring that out because i remember the one division for the biggest liberated there public is we're able to bring out was the dogger family. and if you don't know who that is, i can google that one. remember that, and you remember that that was all they could get out there. that was and they were begging for anybody and everybody. so there was at least a hiring a little bit of the bar, but i am sure the democrats now potentially when they have their convention can bring in a whole slew of celebrities. they're going to be excited once again, robin talked about celebrity is probably the biggest subsidies in the democratic pyre. and as brock obama now, he came out of this and said he was not going to endorse any one in the race yet. subject this assign, you did not support comma harris. do you agree or it is formal? present? obama have another plan?
8:41 am
well, you know, one thing about our time. i know him well, he likes to play it. cool. if you'll remember back when joe biden was the 1st running out in 2020, as, as, as being the primary election by a bomb, it did not endorse. he waited until the voters that had their say, and then the endorsements. it was safe to do so. for the general election so that people pharma is just doing what he always does. and blanket tool i. i read too much into it. also myself, yesterday, and then i was so gently reminded that this is what he always does. well, and i have to think angie because i'm looking at right now when we what happened those 1st few days out. you have job, i didn't actually stay is not going to right. again. they need as just a phone call or the next day into his campaign headquarters. then he actually appears goes to washington d. c. then on the next day, he does have an evening prime time speech, to jump out and take a page of the trump campaign head book and sucking out all of the air of the wind so that all the new stories are focused on him. then he finally learned how to
8:42 am
compete with trump and out trop truck. yeah, i actually thought that this morning that you know what they, they, he just announced j. d vance. right. and he got shot in the ear all of that. so finally, the dnc and whoever's left in the bite, in the ministration that's figured out how to steal all the media err, look, come all have a counselor who gets the harris has a whole months to prove herself. she now has the, the, the duty to now. 8 build them a mentor them. and i think um obama, those are letting her, you know, let's see what she does in a month. and i think that's what we're going to see. it's a test for her stevie a lot of people are calling those 1st few days with a that after they named campbell harris as the heir apparent as her honeymoon period. that obviously she got money in there. she got some excitement. do you feel like that that's going to continue? and my question is, if she's not on the campaign trail and joe buttons not doing too well enough to be able to run on the campaign trail,
8:43 am
who's running the country out of the oval office right now? well, i don't think we're going to know the answer to that. you know, it's a very reminiscent of 2020, you know, she came out of the gate, she was doing very well, raise some money and then very quickly her support evaporated. so we'll have to see if she's learned that any less since from 2020 but it is very disappointing that, you know, republicans all the time myself included, are told words, threats to democracy and a threat to our democratic republic. but somehow, this person who didn't receive a single vote in the 2024 primary has been selected to be the nominee after president biden. uh, you know, ran a campaign and got all the votes. and now it seems like there's a, a bait and switch. and it's really unfortunate that a lot of people feel do not understand why they do. but i think it's, it's on power for what's happened in our country in the past 3 and a half years. well, i know just the person to ask about how the democrats are to respond to that because we've got robin here and robin for those. it'll give us a,
8:44 am
for an honest answer as he's watch campaigns over the years. what to say to those who feel like that the process has been due to the people didn't get a chance to vote for commer the orchard only. i'm not seeing a lot of that from my friends in the democratic party trust the public. and so probably get there definitely pointed that out, republicans are pointing it out, but my friends who voted in the democratic primaries really don't have an issue with this. they're actually really energized and the dues. i know that you've seen the numbers that there were 44000 black women who were on the call that was always supposed to be capped at a 1000 zoom colors. and then black men had their, their zoom tall, that was $34000.00, was also supposed to be around $500.00 people. so there's a, a huge rush event through z as in here, that frankly joe biden just didn't enjoy the. so i am seeing a tremendous groundswell of enthusiasm, and i'm really not seeing any of the complaints from, from democratic primary voters that they feel that they were slighted in any way, shape or form. i want to point out that the constitution does not guarantee that
8:45 am
when you vote in the primary is that, that's going to be a guarantees that you're going to. your boat is going to go to a delegate and they or vote is not bound to any one. so that's just the way it is. unfortunately. so then here's my course. i'm gonna stick with you on this robin cuz you're gonna get to be the democrats gonna give us the advice on this. and do you think it helps or her is having jo bided in the office right now. i mean, he has the power of the pin and commas, his vice, but does it help that he's still in it, or should he just go in and turn over the powers to calmly and give her kind of a star a head start so that she could have a smooth transition and why did he wait so long to do this? oh, my goodness of the that's the 1000000 dollar question. why did he wait so long? but lucky it was honestly well timed right after the urgency to take the wind out of their sales. i'm not sure that that was the case. i don't would put it past him . he's pretty shrewd politician was 50 years of experience. but, you know,
8:46 am
at the end of the day, i wish that he would step aside and, and go ahead and made her the president because it would help us that would give it would show that she, she has the ability to lead during a time of prices these stuff positively, really sick right now with co, that hasn't made any public appearances now. would be the perfect time to do that. i suspect scotty that he has some things up his sleeve with regard to executive actions. i wouldn't be surprised to see some, some doozies coming out before he does that, including one for his own son hunter. i wanted to say thank you for joining me on that one. thank you. robin. stay with us because prior to this announcement of joe biden, bowing out of the race, the grand up party held their party's convention rich out with 3 of the people are gonna take about a robin. and you were to, to this and get their perspective as to whether the world saw what was really going on at the r n. c will be right back the, the
8:47 am
from the very start of the bite and presidency. we were told the occupant of the oval office was obsessed with his legacy, 3 and a half years later, that legacy can be summed up with a few choice words, division, failure, incompetence, and shame. history will remember joe biden. the welcome back to perspective on your house guy. now. he's sandwich between an
8:48 am
assassination attempt on one parties, presidential candidates, and the dropping out of another. we have a political convention which was said to be the most organized and unified convention seen by the modern day g o. p. does our panel agree? well, let us ask 3 people who were there. stevie g arno is back with us to give us his observation as one of the youngest delegates on the floor. and as a representative of the young republicans and a part of the tennessee delegation here in stereo. for the 1st time, we are joined by angie wong who attended the r and c as a florida delegate. and as a board member of the coalition pack, and amy delores, who is a journalist and director of video for the washington examiner. she's been on the campaign trail for almost 2 years and went to milwaukee to cover the r n c. thank you so much for joining me on this. i want to 1st start all by talking about the whopping 90 minute speech. trump gave on the final night of the arm see the longest
8:49 am
. somebody shouldn't accepted speech on record. so stevie. what was the feeling and the energy on the floor after the speech as well? as the balloons dropped, it was one of the most unifying things i've ever seen. you know, the whole week was incredible to have a president. trump get shot on saturday. and on monday evening, he's spending time with all the delegates. an alternate to guess, that usually doesn't happen. he came all 4 days. and every time he walked into the building, the energy was electric. and it was a, an amazing time. and i think it will go down in history as one of the most impressive things a presidential candidate has ever done, including given a 90 minute speech and not miss a beat and unify all types of republicans and independents, motors is very optimistic on it. but anyway, you've been to a number of trump rally, so i have to ask,
8:50 am
how did this speech differ from his normal program is usually a kind of a fusion of planned and unplanned comments when he trump starts to speak. well, of course, after the assassination attends on the saturday before he actually exclusively gave an interview to washington examiner, saying that he completely ripped up his original speech. and he's decided to have it and have a speech of strength and unity. it became a theme actually for the entire convention. what did he stay on? message is the question. so i had for the 1st time, the perspective you actually watched the prompter while he was speaking, which was really interesting to see. when he went off script, he said, going into this, he was not going to mention biden's name. i don't not once and of course he couldn't help himself. he didn't have mentioning bite. and when he was saying, when you combine the 10 worst president. c had a has to be by him and i know some of his campaign surrogates and part of his team were really upset that he did kind of take away from that moment almost in the same way that he did when he won south carolina and nick and kelly also won a large margin and he didn't just have a speech
8:51 am
a victory on. so when we talk about the record breaking speech, we have to say he gave both speech us and then people on the ground, of course, like cd when, when i spoke around people, there was a ton of energy, everyone on the ground, all the delegate seems really happy really fired up, so the rest of the didn't help, but you had 10000 balloons that you were all the way up to your waist at that point . but actually this was your 1st r and c. and so having only what you've seen in the media in the past to compare with, do you feel like you had an ex accurate expectation going into the convention compared to what was realistically happening on the floor? well, you know, i was a freshman at the convention but and i said you're a freshman. i was. but um, i've many people have been there multiple times that they felt the gravity of this particular convention much more so because we knew what was at stake. and they wanted us to attend donald trump's funeral. instead we made him the official. now many of the republican take it for president. so that's what we delivered. and once
8:52 am
a real call was that we were partying. so it was then tastic to see all of that. i thought all trump was really subdued. he was really human for the 1st time. whereas, you know, trump rally mega. trump was usually shouting at people. this one he was human and, and i think was very reliable. it was great to see him, his grandpa, it was really nice to see him just as a human being except, you know, completely different from how a lot of media has portrayed him. so it was a really softer side of trump, but then the trump came out and said, all those things that he wasn't supposed to say, and what else script you're still gonna get chop. i'd say the hardest job of the can. pedro is running the teleprompter for donald trump is you just never know where you're going to go. sort of like being media the past few weeks and try to figure the new cycle is coming in from a young or perspective. lots of older members of the party at the convention. in fact, when they're talking about kid rock showing up and performing, i'm like, well 90 percent of the people even know who that is. they'll probably think a little kids get to come out. it was not a cheap ticket, hard for young people to get there from the 1st night president trump announced his
8:53 am
vice presidential candidates who just happened to be one of the youngest candidates in us history for vice president. do you think j. d vast actually helps attract younger voters to give the g o p a stance. i do, i think if you look at his life since he was a young adult, it was one of being a servant leader. i think he's perfect to be president. trump's vice president, and he's gonna lead our party, you know, after president trump, this is gone and for years i think it's really important that we find someone who's going to carry on the america 1st policies. and i don't think there's going to be anyone better than the person who is going to be working with the president for the next 4 years. and you kind of brought it up talking about what was going on in the field and that the liberals wanted us to be out of the one that did to be at a funeral rather than an actual convention. amy, you went to his 1st rally. exactly one week after the shooting. was there increased security? do you feel like and what was the feeling on the ground?
8:54 am
were people a little bit more hesitant to going in? and you know, as we, as, as media and attendees all got notice saying arrive early, there would be increased security checks on a metal water bottle that i had with me. the entire r n c made it through every check point. they took out the rally. i mean, definitely because that was considered a weapon, but my giant tripod was not so make it make sense. but i would say we got there 6 am in the morning. present lines down 6 blocks by 9 am. we were asking people what time they arrived. some people arrived at the night before and we asked very specifically, are you nervous or do you have some concern now? because someone did die like it's not just that. oh, the president, the president is the one they were going after. so i, i have a thought if the victor like to play it of some reaction from attendees there of what they said. and i would hope that it's next to me, so i can break the guy's neck. i'm not concerned about my safety if something
8:55 am
happens to be in the dress. i feel like that's a whole nother photo kind of excitement. i feel safe and you know, after what happened last week, i just felt we had to be here to support him. what i really love about this grow does, it's not that we respect the police officers, so we have chan when police officers upon the yeah. so as you can see, a ton of energy, a ton of excitement. every time police officers went by, everyone was shouting and cheering for them. people were saying because of what happened, they were more rally behind the president and made more of an attempt. so it's interesting that you say because of what happened because prior going to aren't seeing stevie you are on the show. we were talking about the division that it happened within the republican party. we were talking about there was still a wing that was potentially going to cost some sort of too funny to say that now
8:56 am
within the republican party at the convention. so do you think the arts, they would have been different if there had not been that attempted to assess a donald trump? good question. i certainly, we were united. we weren't fighting as much. we thought everybody there from the, you know, full spectrum of the, of the republican party. we were all rallying behind donald trump. and i'm not sure if that would have happened had not been for any sort of attempt on his life. certainly the delegates knew their job, we got the roe call, write it right away. we are hearing now that uh president trump wanted to be there every single day. whereas before he was only supposed to be there the very last night. so he wants to watch over everyone, make sure they're doing their jobs. i would, i would like to add to that nikki haley a and rhonda sand has last minute rhyme a time speech addition. she originally had not even been invited. so that definitely was, i think something that he can do after this attempt and said, all right, this is time. and judy vance and his speech. you said anybody out there now? welcome to the republican tv. i know you were talking to people that were on the
8:57 am
floor that were watching on television. oh is the one thing that people did not see on tv or was not for trade and accurately on tv that that was happening there on the floor. what moment within the warranty? well, i would say, you know, there's a lot of controversy going on about whether the party platform was going to pass if there were going to be issues with that. but i'm happy to say that we got it through it passed on a voice vote. and i think it's really important because that platform, which was chaired by senator blackburn, will be the thing that gets us over the finish line. it is going to increase the involvement of young people and minorities wanting to be republicans because now instead of having to read through 60 pages of what republicans believe and it's 1617 pages, you know, it's very easily organized of 20 points of what makes you a republican and i think it's going to attract a lot of people, but it was very unifying to have everyone agreed that this is what we need to do as
8:58 am
a party. he's right, the platform definitely took a lot of heat, especially before the ard see officially started from your observations. why did people not see that was going on in the floor the at home? oh boy, well, you know, so the whole crowd strike thing happened? well eric trump is on stage and i'm sitting 33 rows away from eric trump, also on all our phones. thing thing thing thing thing lit up and we found out our flights have been cancelled. so you know, we were expecting all the shenanigans to happen. luckily not too many things did happen, but so my delegation still try and make the way home. but i hope the 3 of you have been able to get some rest of it as a few as a week later, but i am sure this will be memories to last a lifetime. tv angie. amy, thank you so much for sharing your experience on our and see i am sure i'll be one for a lifetime. now all of the drum happening in america, this election cycle and especially today, is bringing down the level of respect other countries have for the usa. i believe
8:59 am
the world expected more out of the american political system. and it's almost with discussed in their voice that the events in america are unfolding this way. discussed or fear knowing is stability in one of the major super powers could have a global rippling effect. looking around the world, it's obvious. so the countries are very concerned about a present comma harris, and the lack of a designated 2nd choice that into that discomfort. i do think the power holders and the democrat party are getting comma harris the next 2 weeks to observe the reactions by the donors and engagement by previously disengaged face. if she does not meet a certain threshold, they will be switching out at the dnc and this gives them enough time to do so. whoever that might be the world will just have to wait and see. and how the selection cycle is going. it might just take weeks or even just a few minutes. but hey, that's my perspective. i'm sky now. hughes and thank you for watching the
9:00 am
breaking news and all teens and national a role and excusing the us of polluting with is well full of a strong foot killed. i must be the instead on shortly, all the errands. new precedent welcome to ration is that the catch all speak sounds a game as well saying hello, be this sabotaging any hope for creasing garza by conducting political assassination. also the israel attacks as silva both favor late.
