that is andy grayson. we were using the word fiery, a description of the speech last night. i will start with you. was at the right message given the audience he was speaking to variant in person and at home watching? >> classic trump clearly in his element, approaching the crowd that waited outside for a day beforehand, waiting for a rock star arrival, clearly very excited, you could hear how huge the crowd was, he won that state. an excellent event and at the same time it is televised on the internet and this is not only a familiar theme, in an exaggerated way in this entertainment framework, what problems are with democrats, see them as america sees them, supporting hamas to some degree,

defending ms 13 and this is a problem for the democrats, whether they believe what they say or not they can't support, pushed into a position of absurdity on some of the issues. >> he went hard after nancy pelosi, talks about the second amendment, building the wall with our own big hands among a lot of other things. primaries coming up on august 2nd, marsha blackburn. up against the former governor in tennessee and donald trump won that state by 60% in 2016. is in play for republicans? >> donald trump, a rock star with his base, he does exaggerate.

approval ratings stay steady from 49% to 51%, this is why republicans are running with him. the tax cuts have an impact on people, his success to some degree is north korea. and striking against isis, the commander-in-chief, have to disagree with my friend, not only on foreign policy but domestic policy, tax cuts, the issue of immigration, she will benefit from that, gop candidates in states trump did not win by as much. heather: bring up the issues, we always hear from republican pundits, they talk about democrats can't just run against the pres. they have to have some issues. even in the speech last night we are donald trump voice specifically and personally after several democrat he talked about the issues that are important to people and offering

alternatives in terms of the economy which is the number one issue for people. >> the pres. inherited a great economy from barack obama, numbers off the chart, built on that economy. the stock market took 350 points down yesterday specifically because of trade war he started with china. the pres. has to focus on upcoming negotiations with north korea rather than being at rallies and enjoying the applause, he's not the entertainer in chief is much as he wants to be. he is the commander-in-chief and his first job is to keep us safe and negotiating with north korea. he himself talks about he doesn't like studying the daily presidential brief which every president before him has done. >> what the president is doing so well, only $3 trillion the stock market infused into the
