i think it's clear that there were complete failures in protocol in communication in reach. >> a lack of resources that were brought to bear here. at the end of the day, not only is he a former president, but he is the leading candidate for president in this election according to every poll and to not have those resources fully available. with four months to go in this election is unconscionable and so i think obviously, let's let this investigation play out but i don't think there's any question that there needs to be accountability, including some people including potentially a director losing their jobs because this type of security failure never, ever should have happened the fact is 43 years ago was the last time someone was shot president reagan and we cannot allow this to be what

determines the outcome of an election. and i think there needs to not only transparency in the investigation but it needs to be independent. this can't be a cover your own moment. it needs to be a serious understanding of what went wrong how, why, why the shooter did what he did, why the shooter was able to get on that roof? and there needs to be accountability for it an investigation. >> we're really going to be kicking off. we know that the secret service director is potentially appearing next monday for a hearing in the house. and now this push with you and ritchie torres together trying to get more and more security for these candidates. it's good to see you, congressman. thank you so much for coming in. thank you. so a new hour of cnn, new central starts right now good morning.

once again, from milwaukee, wisconsin. i am kate bolduan right now inside the room where republicans will soon be getting the party started once again today, last night, they celebrated the return of donald trump and his newly minted running mate, the senator from ohio, jd vance. vance will be giving his big speech tomorrow night overnight, though he posted a new reaction during one of his first appeals to voters as trump's running mate, vance sharing this, i'll read it for you. what an honor it is to be running alongside donald trump. he delivered peace and prosperity once with your health, he'll do it again, ending it with onward to victory emotions were high in this room as trump walked into the hall last night, the moment marking his first appearance since he was nearly assassinated on saturday today, the rnc's theme shifts to focus on security and crime cnn's alayna. alayna treene leads us off this hour. you have some new reporting. alayna

this morning on the decision behind selecting vance jd vance as his running mate. what are you learning while there's a number of reasons that donald trump ultimately went with jd vance. i'm told one of the top reasons is that the two have chemistry. they get along very well in many people close to both vance and knew trump had said, out of all the top contenders that donald trump was considering the two of them had the best personal relationships. so that's part of it. the other part is that donald trump and the trump campaign itself actually believe that vance will be he will appeal very well with some of the rust belt working class voters that they think they need to win over to win the election. vans actually addressed in an interview with fox news where he was discussing a phone call or the phone the phone call i should say, he received when donald trump informed him that he was being chosen as his running may take a listen to what van said

you just said, look, i think going to save this country. >> i think you're the guy who could help me in the best way you can help me govern, you can help me when you could help me in some of these midwestern states like pennsylvania and michigan and so forth. >> now, kate also, even though jd vance is only 39, i'm told that donald trump is actually very impressed by how much he has accomplished by the time he's turned 39, even though he's very young, he thinks that jd vance has done a lot with his career, thus far. i'm also told that he built believes that jd vance will be one of the more loyal vice presidential picks. and we know especially after donald trump's treatment of his former vice president mike pence, loyal she has been a top quality that he had been looking for. now, i also can tell you that trump had been receiving a series of phone calls from top allies and influential conservatives up until monday morning, right before he actually had finally made that decision to choose vance, one person in

particular, elon musk a tesla billionaire, had called donald trump on sunday, just hours before he ultimately made his pick and musk, i'm told had urged donald trump to go oh, with vance. other notable names include donald trump junior, tucker carlson, steve bannon, a number of republicans in congress. all of them lining king up and in the final hours telling trump that they think span they thought vance was the best choice it's great to see you. >> thank you so much with me right now is cnn political commentator and former obama administration official van jones and former strategic communications director for donald trump's 2020 campaign. marc lotter gentlemen, thank you for being here since lane talking about elon musk. i am curious as to the elon musk mark influence. that is, i don't know, growing in the republican party, you have what alayna was just reporting about who he was an advocate of jd vance, he spoke with donald trump before and then also the wall street journal reporting

that elon musk has said he is going maybe committing $45 million a month to a new pro-trump super pac i mean, that is a, you know, what ton of money that's a lot of money are you cool with the elon musk impact on the party and that kind of influence. >> well, he's one of the biggest innovators right now and so many areas, whether it's an electric vehicles with tesla space zoning x. now, the former twitter obviously what we saw was how silicon valley put their thumb on the scale in 2020 through there political donations, et cetera. it's nice to see someone's stepping forward and doing it on the other side. >> van. what do you think of? the elon musk possession of this campaigns at right now well, it's a sign of some of the just curdling that's happening in silicon valley as via kind of almost a radicalization of some of these billionaires. >> they're just so hurt and offended by some of what they call woke ideology people

wanting more equality and fairer treat me when it comes to race and gender is just a bunch of them off now, it's still two-to-one democratic, by the way, people act like all of the tech guys have gone to one direction. it's still two-to-one for for democrats in silicon valley. but there is a little edge of folks have just kartal and they're now willing to throw massive amounts of money it's some kind of like almost a an anti-woke vendetta. and it's scary because what is donald trump going to do to reward someone like an elon musk has already given him a vice president. what's next? what is twitter? i mean, is x going to wind up buying truth? is that a part of the deal you're looking at more like a russian style oligarch that's beginning to develop. and it's quite, it's quite a disturbing let me start. on jd vance van i was listening intently to kind of your reaction to the announcement yesterday and the way you put it is that what

would jd vance is pick means is that trump does not want this to be a unifying kumbaya convention. what do you mean? >> i just mean jd vance is he's a radical. he's hardcore he's a i thought, you know, trump comes out of a near-death experience. there is a moment where maybe he thinks we need to bring this country together for real so maybe he picks someone like a burger, more picks someone like a nikki haley instead, he goes to the other side of the planet, the other side of the galaxy, and gets the most radical pick that he can find trump at least is more of an instinctive kind of intuitive nationalists. this is an ideological nationalism that's a much more dangerous form of the virus because he can go try to explain this stuff and recruit all these people, make it seem kind of polish and make it seem like it's great. i just think that jd vance had the potential to be one of the great unifiers of this country. his first book

the way that he showed up at first when you you're on our air trying to build bridges, trying to show up people to come together. he then did a hard turn and he's gone from being a bridge builder to being a barn burner his positions on women are so extreme. his statement about women are so extreme you just think, man, i thought we were going to get a little bit of more of a kumbaya moment and instead, 48 hours later we get one of the most radical picks for vp in the history of the country mark i was thinking back as we're waiting to hear who is going to be picked the number of conversations you and i had leading up to this of the kind of job interview aspect of what any president needs in picking a vp. >> and i quoted it to several people when you said the running mate needs to bring brings something to the campaign demographically or g geographically, i think you also had a couple other end there, but that's my summary. what is it really is? it really geographically? what is it that you see in jd vance that he

really can bring to this campaign because it is the donald trump campaign. do you really? please think he can move the needle? >> i do. and i think it's a little demographic and geographic okay. so from a demographic standpoint, i think he henuine, authentic story to say, folks, i wasn't there i was critical of this man in 2015 and 2016. but then when we compare the records of joe biden versus time speaking to speaking to the nikki haley vote i speak to an undecided voters still on the fence and going i was one of you i had concerns, but then when i looked at the records, i looked at the policies, i looked at the future. i came over the water is fine. you can do the same. and then being from the midwest, he can campaign in pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin. he's one of them. i think there's a geographic and a demographic benefit. >> what's the deal with the rfk meeting? i'm fixating on this a little bit. maybe people are going to tell me kate, you're fixating on this a little too much. donald trump meeting with rfk jr. yesterday. and rfk junior's campaign saying that the focus of this focus of the meeting was

national unity and had the trump campaign, marc was on with me earlier and they say, always looking to reach out to independent voters but donald trump had called rfk junior a democratic plant and saying that he would like ruined the country immediately if he'd become president just two months ago, what is their strategy here? is there an end-run like endure campaign? what is this? well, i think when you're, when you're in a primary process you get a lot of that, you get a lot of statements that are made on both sides from people who are campaigning against each other. why is this person running? what are they doing haley hitting the stage tonight and governor desantis. and so you bet once you move into the conventions, move into the general election, you are struck, you're trying to so i think the outreach and also i think it's good to touch base, obviously, given the events over the weekend, obviously, the president the president and the former president spoke rfk now, just to say, guys, let's be all on the same page. we're going to have our disagreements. we're gonna have our policy disagreements. but if we can at least try to be on the same page when it comes to the overall threats and some of

the rhetoric. i think it's a good touch base for all three of them. i think you're actually putting it the most honest way that anyone can, which is if we can just all be on the same page, maybe on these three areas. >> one, we are security as we're running these campaigns. and maybe on some of the most heated rhetoric, because you've been in this game a long time. there is no way that they're going to be kumbaya eyeing and unifying message for the rest of this campaign. >> it's going to be a policy contrast said another way, this is sending soon it's good to see you, marc. >> thank you so much, van. thank you so much. it's great to see you, john sara, back to you thank you very much. so we've got new details this morning about the gunman who attempted to kill donald trump. what he was doing just hours before the attack in new questions this morning about who's to blame for the security failure that led to a clear shot being taken at donald trump. why secret service and local police are now pointing the finger at each other? the new cnn fact check of all that was bid all that has been said so far at the republican convention tv on the

really want to highlight some of the work that our cnn digital video teams have done specifically when it comes to that timeline that you just addressed, listen we've seen it ourselves with a lot of videos that are coming out since saturday evening, we've also heard it from eyewitnesses, but our teams sync up all of that witness video and detailed, as you said, that there was at least a minute and 57 second gap between when people in the crowd and from different parts crowd, i should say at that trump rally realized that someone was on top of that roof. >> and then that distance between when he actually opened fire. so i encourage viewers to take a look at that online. because it really does paint a picture of not only how quickly this happened, but also how many people were noticing something was wrong before of course, this tragedy struck. but sara, i want to detail also what you were talking about that we are learning new information if you about some of the movements of the shooter prior to that ultimate shooting were talking of course, about thomas matthew crooks, the 20-year-old from bethel park, pennsylvania. we now know that on friday evening he went to

his sportsman club that he belonged to. he went to the rifle range there to practice. then we also know on saturday morning, he went to a home depot and he purchased a ladder. then shortly thereafter he went to a local gun store and purchased, as we understand it, from law enforcement sources 50 rounds of ammunition. he then drove to butler and once he was on site here at the rally, we do understand that local law enforcement did note him. they noted that he was acting suspicious around the metal detector area, but then far as we understand, he was not noticed again until he ultimately was perched on that roof and opened fire at former president donald trump but against their the big question that we it's still don't have an answer to right now. is that question of motive, the fbi saying yesterday, they still have not found a motive and that's after interviewing witnesses, law enforcement agents, friends, family, and even being able to crack into his phone. still no evidence that there was any strong ideological motivation that would have led him up to that

roof on saturday evening, sara, danny freeman, those are extraordinary pictures and then extraordinary long amount of time for that gunman to have been sitting there with people noticing, except for the secret service. thank you so much for your reporting there. >> with us now, is florida congressman jared moskowitz, congressman. thank you so much for being with us. you ran the florida emergency management direct. you were the director for a number of years you have supported the idea of a bipartisan investigation into the assassination attempt of donald trump based on what you've seen so far, where do you think the areas of biggest failure may be no, thanks, john. >> thanks for having me know. look, i was the former director of emergency management in florida and after we would have a hurricane in certain things wouldn't go well on a response we would do an after-action review. right. to determine where the breakdowns were and how we fix them in the future. it's standard protocol. and so i support the call for an investigation. i look forward to being at a hearing a week

from yesterday, so it'll be monday of next week, unfortunately, chairman comer sent a letter out with that request. he only allowed the republicans of the committee to sign on to that letter. i would have signed it to make this bipartisan in the calls for unity of course. but look, if we determine through the investigation that there were either breakdowns in procedure, the procedure is don't cover this, or there were breakdowns in protocol, meaning they didn't follow their protocol. that then obviously there needs to be accountability and at that time, i would call for the head of the secret service to either resign or be removed. john, i'm also from parkland. my house right now that's about a mile from where the shooting was. at my high school. and when we determined that we establish the commission, the breakdowns in law enforcement's response and in their training, the sheriff, who was in charge of that was removed from office park, which is where i first met you the day after that shooting all those years ago, congressman, i

am curious what you just said that james comer, the chairman of the oversight committee, did not put any of your names of democrats it's on that list because you said now is the time to lower the temperature. so based on what you're seeing so far in the last 72 hours, how's that going well look there are a number of people i serve with were doing joint letters, were trying to bring some unity. but obviously, look, we're not going to bat 1,000. there are some people there that aren't interested in that. and it's just this was an opportunity for comer to reach across the aisle to the democrats that served with them on the committee and show that we're interested in getting to the bottom of this. let's be clear. this was an assassination attempt on a former president. i don't care what party they're associated with where part of the legislative branch it's our job to investigate what happened here. this could easily have happened to a democratic president or a democratic congressman, or a senator seem that in the past, by the way, with both gabby giffords and steve scalise. and so democrats have an interest to figure out also why there was such a

breakdown on either procedure or protocol and fix it. and i look forward to working with the republicans on the committee, but obviously it was a missed opportunity by the chairman. he should have allowed the democrats to sign that letter because what you're colorful, you're one of the more colorful members of congress, democrat or republican. so when you say lower the temperature, i kind of want to know what you think that includes because it was what, like two months ago, not even when you signed on to proposal to name the federal prison in florida? after donald trump, you said everyone knows president trump loves to write his name and goal letters on all his buildings, but he's never had his name on a federal building for as a public servant, i just want to help the former president help us make that dream a reality. is that the type of thing that you would do today if you're trying to lower the temperature, where does that fit well, i don't think there's anything wrong with little sarcasm and humor and the political process. we were responding to the fact that they were trying to name dulles airport after donald trump. that has nothing to do with any threats against the president. of course, right?

lowering the temperature is lowering the specific language, right? and it is a both sides, all sides issue. i hate doing that but it is right. politics right now, right? it's about defining your party in the most extreme way as a way to market and sell. because let's be honest, anger sells right? there's a, there's a hole grifting empire, there's a whole anger empire said on social media, you see it in podcasts you know unity and kumbaya doesn't really get people to vote. and but anger does but, but it's incumbent upon us in congress who are part of that problem, right? because, you know, we were part of this whole system and so, you know, i've talked to a number of members, many of which i don't agree with ideologically i believe whether that's matt gaetz or anna paulina luna about trying to figure out how we can bring the temperature down. because look, a lot of us are parents. we've got kids right. whether you're on the left, you're on the right and if this if we continue down this path it's

going to be our colleagues next, we've already seen that in the past so we haven't responsive. we have a responsibility to disagree, but not dehumanize each other do you think president biden is on a path to reelection right now, a sustainable path? >> well, look, you know, hashtag math, right? i mean the polls don't look great at the moment, but it's a snapshot at this time. there's no doubt i think were the president is at his floor. i mean, he's laying on it, quite frankly and so we'll have to see right now, this election has become a referendum on joe biden since the debate that's what's been going on. and we got to turn this back to a referendum on donald trump coming back. and the policies that he wants to bring, right? we're talking about unity, but the picked last night of jd vance shows how confident the former president is because he's doubling down on maga. he is doubling down on project 2025. but because the former president is a marketing

genius, he is now going to repackage that in unity. and so again, we should watch the language we use, but we should absolutely describe the policy differences right? and with a pickup jd vance like women's rights, are definitely on the ballot congressman jared moskowitz. thanks so much for being with us this morning. appreciate your time, sir thank you, sir. all right. coming up, former president donald trump made his first appearance since the assassination attempt, arriving at the rnc the crowds chanted, fight, fight, fight, mimicking what the former president did immediately after he was shot. we'll show you some pictures there. plus, he was once a hugely vocal critic donald trump saying he was a never trump kind of guy and he couldn't stomach trump. now he's on the ticket with donald trump. we will look at jd vance, the life in time that's coming up next this election

you okay? yeah. ♪ ♪ visit leaf filter.com today, my father chairs me to succeed him no matter the consequences house, of the dragon streaming exclusively on max less than 72 hours after the after an attempt on his life, a visibly emotional donald trump walked into the convention hall here in milwaukee to a standing ovation. >> and chance of fight, fight, fight from his supporters. the same that the same can actually that he yelled just seconds after he was grazed by a gunman bullet at the pennsylvania rally in today, we're also learning, i mean, every day we're learning new details

about how this all played out. a new cnn analysis shows that the crowd there, notice the gunmen, at least one minute and 57 seconds before he opened fire. let's dive into this a little bit more, joining us right now is republican congressman cory mills. he is former sniper and congressman. i mean, i lean into that because you have a specific background in exactly what we were talking about in your training and meaning advanced team to go to venues to scope out potential holes to fix those potential holds. this detail, this is from a cnn analysis of the video that's come out, is that people in the crowd saw for about a minute and 57 seconds had eyes on him before he opened fire to you? that says what i'll tell you. >> even more than that as this continues to develop as a story, we get more information, information about it. we've also heard that up to 20 plus minutes that this individual is up on the roof making its way. he could have. yeah, he should

have been seen right. >> that to different civilians who are attending the rally had taken photos and actually sent this to look a lot enforcement. >> we also had heard about local law enforcement accessing the roof and having the rifle pointed at them with which they had retreated. i look at all of these things and i look at different videos where an assailant will pull a firearm on a law enforcement officer. and the first thing they do is they immediately pull and draw on, mitigate the threat and the risks. you know, i asked why local law enforcement officer did not do so? the other thing is that when you step in advanced and i keep hearing this about the perimeter elements, you know, the perimeter is actually established by your threats that are in the area. so if i don't have any threats outside of 100 yards, okay. fine. i can court on off a certain area. but if i have a building 100 160 yards perfectly adjacent to the stage, that's an obvious threat, especially would an elevated position has overwatch. that's a sniper's paradise and you know, we talk about eagles as you also have which no one talks about, but the water tower so a failure on the ground for sure, but also a failure in advance.

>> it's a failure to advance. i think it's a failure to have the courage snipers to be able to stablished their range for another sketch, maps, i also heard there also hello to the local snipers were stationed inside that building i haven't heard that piece of it yet, but that doesn't necessarily unless they were actually no window which was backed off because a lot of times you'll get yourself in there sometimes you exposure rifle and a way to try and do a force protection or a show of force that actually stops things. >> others are actually more i had to call where they'll sit back a little bit, but a sniper for law enforcement only trained to shoot about 75 yards. unlike your counter-sniper teams that are on sunset. but but here's my problem in having done this as for so long, they always say the adage of ignorance is bliss. and i think that's true i've done thousands of advances. i've done thousands of counter-sniper operations with our teams are you know, iraq and afghanistan, et cetera. the amount of negligence, the amount of mistakes that was made here. i have a very difficult time not being myself towards this was intentional as opposed to fecklessness, the weight talk to me about that. i actually

heard you say this right? the day after which i wanted to ask you about, what do you mean intentional? >> you know, i mean intentional failure on the part of no, i wouldn't say it intentional failure on the part of but i got it. >> just, you know, i sit here and i scratch my head. you don't want to be the conspiracy you don't want to be. >> i'm telling because that's what with leaning do know. >> i know. and that's the issues that you walked this foreign balance of you're not trying to be conspiracies, but you look as an ego. how could this have gone so? >> it's one thing if someone on the streets as it's i mean, you core mills member of congress, former sniper, you saying it makes my eyebrows go up what when you say you're walking the line on this intentional, what? >> you know, it almost seems to me, i think that the investigation is necessary at this point within congress, not just the fbi, not just others. you know, i look back at i'm thinking all right, you know, for an individual, if you looked at the escalations and how how they are trying to approach him. let's just say that it was like, okay, first we want to censor and silence you, then we want to indict and in prison you now are

attempting to kill you and take you let's slow down, please. i'm hearing two things from you. i don't want to jump ahead of things, but i'm also hearing you jumping ahead of things. >> what actually i'm just looking at all the different possible capabilities near one of the things as a military remember one of the things we'll wait, but one of the things is a person who is running the special operations committees before one of the people who's actually done this as that you look at all the potential analysis, right? that donald trump and his team have said june no no. >> i agree. dial it back. do not blame this on joe biden, but well, actually, i didn't say joe biden to be concludes the day then let's be very specific. that's what the investigation is to was it local law enforcement that had made the mistakes or was there something to it was their other types of the things that we need to be analysing are looking at, providing analysis. my point is, is that when something so significant you to my something that hasn't happened in decades, right? >> i totally i my point is, is this from a perspective? >> there was someone who was actually conducted these these are not difficult advances. this is not like i'm putting together a stage placement in a tight shot. this is about

looking at your surroundings what is my green, yellow, and red route, which is your routes out in case what is my actual elements of that i need to be looking at as far as mitigating threats or risks or increased levels, where's my range fan for this night? you for that says okay, here's my 100, miles, 200, my sketch here's an area where someone could shoot here because here's my thing. so years, voice element, you are saying this is so basic that how big the screw up was. that's what's leading your brain does that's not the right. >> but, but because you're was just on tom emmer was just on with me and he said very three specifically to me, i wrote it down. >> he said very good. it is too early to be talking about who is at fault and who is responsible. >> that's why an investigation is necessary. >> is it is it not dangerous? is it not reckless to use to even be throwing around the word intentionally? so. >> to question things as we do investigation is recklessness because at that zero point then should we never questioned anything? my point is this i'm trying i'm not trying to leave

ai and i'm not trying to see my point is in the political environment that we were in, what would it hip taken, right? let's just say the resources was limited. let's go with that as their reasoning. so how many times have you seen where they just put a police car inside of a parking lot? would not an officer in it? just leave the lights on as a deterrence. why couldn't that have been a simple thing that was placed in? why couldn't we have said to the owner of the actual her company, hey, look, we don't want to disrupt your business, but we also want to make sure your parking lot clear of people trying to parking there for the rally. why don't we place an officer there? my point is that this was too easy of a solution. and when i think about 101, comfortable with even have been comfortable with having trust me, my whole point is is that i would like to look at this and say, where was the mistake made? how can we correct it in the future? why was this actually done? but i think that this does warrant a dj 13 type of commission. and actually look at it and say, let's investigate and find out why this happened. so it doesn't have a new this is not about a political thing. this is about we hadn't attempt to assassinate a president we really need to understand what a serious matter. and this was a milliseconds per millimeter difference between this being in that attempt, this being an

assassination. and i can tell you at 160 yards just kate, just to give you an idea, you're off the shelf. rifle shoots with a call one-minute of angle at every hundred yard line. so 100 it's one inch 200 two inches in cetera, it's now you're talking about 1.6 inch grouping capability of a rival off of manufacturing line, your average human being because we see this in nursing is live training your 20 inches shoulder to shoulder, 40 inches, head to waste and europe six by eight in your average head size. these are kind of the dimension that you look at as an average. you're talking about a one plate, six inch grouping from multiple shots on a basic rifle were blessed and i do believe a divided intervention, so i am a person of faith. i can't explain one. i hope that it was a corrugated roof and maybe he slipped off on one of them the edges of the corrugated roof or he was rushed, but this the whole thing, i think just needs to have a better explanation so that the american people and everyone can feel comfortable. >> and i think that's why people are saying pump the brakes because we've seen conspiracy theories honestly on the right and the left. i just said donie o'sullivan on that,

it's already going like, wow this is a kind of political environment that they're saying it's too hot and people are jumping to too many conclusions. well, as that's, why i am song military. remember one of the things that we do is we would have scenario, everything i'm going to world, right? that's nobody i don't know i'm saying look at what if what if you talk about maybe in an investigation and the what if you are presenting on live television? i don't know. it's just so listen, i'm a public official. >> yes. >> anything that i do, anything that i say, i say in the public eye, don't try and hide it in private. i think that the american people need transparency accountability, and accessibility to the elected officials, not to try and hide behind what we want to look at. and i also think that if we, if the american people know that we're questioning these things as well, it puts summit rescue at least know why aren't they at least looking into this one, we should look at every single situation which is of this significance. we should look at it from multiple angles to ensure that nothing is left out nothing could be potentially claimed is being covered up and we need to have more transparency to the

american people. i think that's what everyone deserves. but a full investigation. au investigate any wants right? points that that's exactly right. that's why i say i lean have not made an accusation of something. i just want to make sure recovering our basis to ensure that we get a proper investigation at all levels. to ensure this doesn't happen again, and that our president can be safe. >> congressman. thank you for coming in. thank you very much john. back to you all right. >> excellent work there, kate. so how many lives were told during day one of the republican convention we've got a brand new facts i check and new reporting and how jd vance won over donald trump does secure his spot on the republican ticket choice hotels is a family of brands with a hotel for any traveler you want to be. like number one chef, dad, cook it up a free hot breakfast for the entire family and a comfort hotel. >> mom i added the garnish stay twice and get a $50 gift card when you judge oliver garland was known for his nomination to the united states supreme for

republican convention is underway, but let's talk about what was said on day one cnn's fact checker in chief, daniel dale is here with us now and daniel want to start with marjorie three taylor greene, what she said about jobs, listen they claim that our economy is thriving, yet hundreds of thousands of american-born workers lost their jobs these past asked few years daniel american-born workers have gained millions of jobs under president biden. four 4.7 million jobs over the three years between june 2021 and june 2024. now, call this claim misleading at best rather than false because it is possible that within this group there are particular hundreds of thousands of workers who did lose their jobs, but congresswoman greene created the impression that this group of workers has lost jobs on the whole. and that's not even close to true so there was a claim about the middle east made by rnc chair michael watley. >> let's listen to that for years ago europe in the middle

east were at peace au, i guess that's it right there. >> that was quick. daniel. very quick. go ahead very quick and very wrong. >> a former president trump also makes this claim that he achieved peace in the middle east, not even close to true again, whatever the merits of his abraham accords in which some countries that were not at war with israel agreed to normalize relations with israel when he left office, there were civil wars ongoing in yemen in syria. of course, an unresolved israeli palestinian conflict and israeli conflict with iran with syria, with hezbollah in lebanon, us person now continued to be attacked in a highly unstable iraq. so the idea that trump achieved peace in the middle east with the abraham accords is just not correct. >> and daniel, again, this was a very quick one. i want you to listen to the rnc video pre-recorded video that was played. it talked a little bit about the economy america has reached the highest inflation in 40 years daniel john did.

this claim is out of date, so there was a 40 year high inflation two full years ago in june 2022 when it hit 9.1%. but this video and another pre-recorded video, that convention didn't mention that flation has plummeted since then. it's now a third of that. it was three 3.1% this past month, june 2024 all right. >> that was night one. we know you're going to be at work the next three days. daniel dale. great to see you this morning. thank you very much. thank you. joe alright. >> freshman senator jd vance previously said he was a never trumper, called the former president noxious and leaving the white working class to a very dark place. now, he is sharing the republican ticket with donald trump. so what changed? that's how you assignment with audie cornish listen wherever you get your podcasts ai just give the last room for hundred and 90 bucks. i put the last room a week ago. i talked yesterday some sites panic q into booking their last room instead travaglio compares hotel prices from hundreds of

established ohio politicians to win the senate primary that year, he won with, of course, donald trump's endorsement and since he's come in the senate he's been introducing a lot of bills that seemed like they're designed to whip up the republican base. you know, things like having english be the country's official language making it so that trying to make gender affirming care for minors more difficult think things of that nature, stuff that doesn't really seem like it has much chance of passage in the senate. that's democrat controlled. but that is really near toward more exciting the right-wing base he has done a few other things, like when there was a big train

accident in east palestine, he was very out front in and going to east palestine and trying to secure federal assistance. he was very out front in getting in bird dogging the investigation on that and he has tried to get legislation passed that would improve rail safety in the wake of that accident. but that seems to be stalled in the senate commerce committee at the moment he has three kids yes. sure. >> go ahead. especially i do want to ask you about what you think made him made this big shift from being a person who said he would never vote for donald trump, and that he was even thinking about as he put it, holding his nose and voting for hillary clinton back in 2016 to the person he is now who is just rallying behind donald trump in big ways. >> wealth he says that you

know, he's, he's now illuminated and i guess sees things differently. some could say it's, it's opportunism. i mean, i can't really tell you that i have like the inside poop on exactly what made him evolve, but it does seem like it's, it has propelled him through the republican ranks rather rapidly sabrina, sabrina edan. >> thank you so much for your time and for us getting all this technology sorted out. i appreciate it. all right. and we've got the inside scoop on the next show there you go. there you go. we know what's on cnn newsroom. thanks so much for being with us. morning convention coverage continues right now goni
