their health and their lives at risk for covid-19 to fight the war against covid-19. speeone interesting. we are going to find out in about ten seconds. thank you so much for that. we appreciate you sticking with us. the convention continues with sean hannity coming up the republican national convention is officially underway. we have a programming note. big announcement at the end of the show tonight about where we'll be broadcasting the next three nights. breaking right now, we received a ten-minute warning that the president of the united states will make remarks and an appearance and be speaking. when that happens, we will bring it to you. also bring you a lot of the convention. we'll get to that in mere moments. a lot to cover tonight. we want you to see it for yourself. we'll also hear from dozens of speakers throughout the evening. let's see.

steve scalise, herschel walker, nfl legend. remember mark and patricia m mcclowskey? tonight's theme is the land of promise. under like the dull, the boring, the hate trump democratic convention. the rioting, the arrests, the arson and looting doesn't exist in america. they didn't talk about it. the rnc will talk about freedom and opportunity every night. the late great barry farber once said, never been a place on a earth that has accumulated more power and abused it less than this one, the united states. i add this country has done more because of freedom and liberty and risk and reward to advance

the human condition to the entire world. we've done that. america exceptionalism, greatness, not american perfection but we do always seek to have a more perfect union. our constitutional system allows that. the mob, the media won't cover large parts of the rnc that we'll be showing. let's dip in to what's going on right now where front line workers are talking about the coronavirus pandemic. >> my name is amy ford. i've been a registered nurse for 17 years. i'm from the small town of williamson, west virginia where i've lived my entire life. the daughter of a nurse and coal miner. i was always somewhat of a caretaker. it came natural for me. so i felt like to follow in my mother's foot steps and become a nurse, this march when covid-19 sent our country into crisis, i

knew i had to help anyway that i could. it deployed to new york in april and then to san antonio, texas working as a covid relief nurse in both states. as i contended with the challenges of treating our patients who had their worlds turned upside-down, i noticed a positive change in our healthcare system. president trump recognized the threat this virus presented for all americans early on and made rapid policy changes. as a result, telehealth services are accessible to more than 71 million americans including 35 million children. prior to covid, telehealth was not covered or reimbursed under medicare, medicaid or chip. this left our most vulnerable populations with no other choice but to have an in-person office visit with their physicians. increasing their risk of exposure to covid-19.

the expansion of telehealth services has also resulted in the integration of video visits between patients and their families allowing lovered ones to have contact and visualization as well as a better understanding of care. telehealth has been essential during this pandemic. i don't want the media taking my personal story and twisting it, so let me be clear. as a healthcare professional, i can tell you without hesitation donald trump's quick action and leadership saved thousands of lives during covid-19. the benefits of that response extend far beyond coronavirus. telehealth will continue to aid many that are just unable to find transportation or a way to the doctor for regular checkups. this is especially true in rural america. i live in a town of about 2,000 people. we to not have buses, trains, trollies or ubers available to

us. in addition, the unavailability of services can also hinder treatment for many. so increased access to telehealth for millions of americans has been life saving. we have president trump to thank. >> from the very beginning, democrats, the media and the world health organization got coronavirus wrong. the world health organization said authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission. >> overall most people should not be terrible concerned. >> everything is fine here. we want to say to people, come to chinatown. here we are. come join us. >> we don't even think it's going to be as bad as it was in other countries. >> go about your lives, go about your business. >> one leader took action to save lives. president donald trump. banning travel from china and coronavirus epicenters.

biden charged xenophobia. president trump was right signing the cares act, providing immediate relief to american families, workers and businesses, declaring a national emergency. tapping into $42 billion in existing emergency funding, quickly getting protective equipment to the states. signing the families first coronavirus response act. making sure families and businesses impacted by the virus receive the strong support that they need, launching operation warp speed to fast track the vaccine in record time. >> he said everything that i could have hoped for. promise made, promise kept. >> he is ready, willing and able to help. >> he's been responsive. he's done a lot of good things. >> what the federal government did was a phenomenal accomplishment. >> in our hour of need, you're helping us in a big way. we were at the edge. this is life or death stuff. we're forever thankful for that.

>> soon we will emerge safer, stronger and greater than ever. >> sean: all right. we're going to get back to the rnc now. the president will be speaking and we'll take large portions of this tonight so you know. quick response. that was an extremely powerful videotape. ari fleischer and karl rove joining us. first of all, the production last week and this week, let's start there. karl rove. >> well, the evening is not done. we don't know if we'll have minor technical glitches. but this is very impressive, high production values, emotional beginning i thought with cardinal dolan and the world war ii veteran. i thought the tape from the nurse was particularly strong. this is an important issue to

engage with. democrats built their -- most of their case around donald trump is a bad person and incidentally he bungled the response to coronavirus. laying out the case, letting people know what the president did is a very important part to establish credibility on the issue and diminishing biden's lead on it. >> sean: ari fleischer, i'm looking at -- it was like -- i don't know. maybe a college zoom class comparison to what looks like a real set, real convention. >> well, nobody does patriotism better than republican conventions. it's stirring the way it began and the displays, the military, the flag. the things that we should all love about america. here's what i'm looking out for. one, people. how many people are watching. the democrats had the lowest numbers, 22 to 24 million. a big drop off. what will the republican numbers be? on par or more or less than

2016? number 2, taking advantage of the democratic openings. public safety is the huge opening that democrats left republicans. they didn't talk about how to keep people safe in our cities. you can see republicans are talking about it. two, policy. only the socialists talk policy last week for the democrats. huge opening here for president trump and the republicans to talk about what policies to enact to keep america strong. that's what i'm looking for. >> karl, they ignored the violence in american cities. they ignored it all. and they tried to use covid. that was a powerful tape rebutting, democrats praising donald trump. that counters the narrative of last week. it. >> does damage to it. we were lectured about response to covid by new york governor andrew cuomo. the state of new york has had more deaths than california, texas and florida combined. all of those beach goers in

florida, california, fewer deaths in the three more -- the three most populous states combined than the fourth most populous state. why? he sent a lot of covid patients to nursing homes where they infected the elderly populations. to this day, the governor of new york will not release the number of people who died in nursing homes. i think that is a big point. i want to pick up on something that ari said >> it's vital for the president and the republicans talk about the response to covid. >> sean: let me interrupt you, if i may. a tape from the white house. >> we launched the greatest mobilization since world war ii.

we are saving the lives of citizens. today our hearts overflow with appreciation for the incredible front-line workers that risked their own health and safety to keep america strong and safe. when crisis came, millions of everyday americans rose to the challenge. in their actions we see true greatness of the american character. we always find a way to victory. history will remember and celebrate the heros of 2020 for as long as our great america flag waves over the land that we love. to every front-line worker, i offer the salute of a nation that is forever in your debt. thank you, god bless you and god bless america. >> these are my friends, these are the incredible workers that helped us so much with the covid. we can call it many different things. from china virus -- i don't want to go through all the names.

some people may get insulted. that's the way it is. these are great people. doctors, nurses, firemen, policemen. we want to thank you all. you've been incredible. we want to thank you. all of the millions of people that you represent. thank you all very much. great job. thank you. tell me a little about your stories. start with you. >> i'm a postal worker. i delivered to the senior communities during covid-19. >> and we're taking good care of our postal workers. >> absolutely. >> that i can tell you. we're not getting rid of them. they would like to put that out there. if anybody does, it's the democrats, not the republicans. thank everybody in that whole beautiful post office system. we appreciate it. how about you? >> i'm a trucker. >> good. i own a small business in ohio. >> great. >> hauling steel mostly. some of our customers made hospital beds with the material. >> fantastic.

congratulations. i love the truckers. they're on my side. i think all of them. how about you? >> i'm a custodian at the post office as well. >> what do you do exactly? >> clean up everybody's mess and germs and all that. >> that world, that profession will never be out of business. thank you for being here. >> a pleasure. >> how about you. >> i'm a registered nurse. i work at a new jersey hospital. i also represent an organization of professional nurses called the national association of catholic nurses. >> very good. >> as a nursing supervisor, i am so in awe of your leadership honestly. many people have said interesting things, but it takes a true leader to ignore all of that stuff and do what is right and not be offended by all the words being said. you really do show that positive spirit to us. as nurses, i appreciate that. as an individual, i'm grateful for that.

>> i'm for the nurses, i'm for the doctors. i'm for everybody. we have to make this china virus go away. it's happening. please, go ahead. >> i'm also a nurse. i represent genesis healthcare a skilled nursing facility. i want to thank you and your administration for the supplies and support that you have given our units. without that, we couldn't do as well as we have done. i spent some time in new jersey. i lived in west virginia. went to new jersey and did some work there. we finally started to see things change and turn around. >> i appreciate what you said. we have delivers billions of dollars of equipment that governors were supposed to get and in many cases they didn't get. so the federal government had to help them and all of the people that did this incredible work, they never got credit for it. you understand where it came from. thank you. please, go ahead. >> i'm a police officer in englewood, colorado. i contracted covid in late march

and recovered. >> that means we don't have to be afraid of you at all. once you recovered, we have the whole thing with plasma happening. that means your blood is very valuable. you know that, right? thank you very much. great. please. >> i'm a detention deputy in california. >> great. >> i also contracted covid end of march. recovered from that also. >> how long was your problem? >> i was sick about ten days really bad. got everything besides a cough. but recovered. i was off work for 1 1/2 months. i work in our local county jails. >> did they do anything specifically to help you recovered? >> they gave me z pack, cough syrup. >> i won't ask you about the hydroxychloroquine. [laughter] it's a shame what they have done to that one. but i took it. i took the z pack also and zinc. i want to thank you all very much. it's an honor to have you in the white house. you're fantastic people and the people you represent, you

represent an incredible group of people. we love you all. thank you very much. thank you. appreciate it. >> good evening. i'm congressman jim jordan representing the fourth district of ohio. the republican party is the pro american party. president trump is the pro american candidate. this election is about who can preserve the values, principals and institutions that make america great. don't believe me? look what is happening in american cities, cities run by democrats. crime, violence and mob rule. democrats refuse to denounce the mob and the response to the chaos, defund the place and border patrol and our military. while they do this, they try to take away your guns. look at the positions they have taken the past few months. democrats won't let you go to church but let you protest. democrats won't let you go to work but let you riot. democrats won't let you go to school, but they'll let you go loot. president trump has fought against each of their crazy ideas.

he's taken on the swamp. all of the swamp. the democrats, the press and the never trumpers. when you take on the swamp, the swamp fights back. they tried to russia hoax, the mueller investigation and fake impeachment. in spite of this unbelievable opposition, this president haas done what he said he would do. taxes cut, regulations reduced, economy growing, lowest unemployment 50 years, out of the iran deal, hostages home from north korea, a new usmca agreement and of course he's building the wall and rebuilding our economy as we speak. i love the president's intensity and willingness to fight every day in washington for our families. what i also appreciate about the president is something that most americans never get to see. how much he truly cares about people. our family has seen it. two years ago, our nephew eli was killed in a car accident. he lived a mile up the road from us. grew up wrestling and training with our boys.

a state champion and varsity athlete. saturday morning, three days after the accident. i walked to the car to head up to eli's parents home when the president called. we talked about a few issues. he asked how the family was doing. i said they're doing okay, mr. president, but it's tough. the president said yeah losing a loveded one is difficult. it's tough when they're so young. i then said mr. president, i'm walking into their house right now. obviously they don't know that i'm talking to you but if you'd be willing to say hello to eli's dad, you'd make a terrible day a little less terrible. >> what's his name, the president asked. i said todd, the president wants to talk to you. the next five minutes, family and friends sat in complete silence as the president of the united states took time to talk to a dad who was hurting. that is the president that i've gotten to know the last four years. president who shares private moments with this with soldiers, victims of violent crime and people that have had businesses destroyed by the mob.

that is the individual who has made america great again and who knows america's best days are still in front of us. that's why i'm busting my tail to help him get re-elected. i'm asking you to do the same. thank you and god bless our country. >> i'm not an actor, a senior or politician. i'm herschel walker. most of you know me as a football player. i'm also a father a man of faith and a very good judge of character. i have known donald trump for 37 years. i don't mean just casual ran into him from time to time. i'm talking about a deep personal friendship. i watched him as an owner of a professional football team. right after he bought the team, he set out to learn. he learned about the history of the team. the players, the coaches. every detail. then he used what he learned to make the team better. i watched him in the board room. he can be in the middle of a big meeting but if one of the kids

was on the phone, he dropped everything to take the call. he taught me that the family should be your top priority. i watch him treat janitors, security guards and waiters the same way he would treat a v.i.p. he made them feel special. because he knew they were. he understands that they are the people that make this country run. they clean, they cook, they build, they drive, they deliver. he told me, herschel, make an effort to get to know people. remember their names. that stuck with me. one time i planned to take his kids to disney world with my family. the last minute, donald said he would like to join us. there he was in a business suit on it's a small world ride. that was something to see. shows you a caring and loving father he is. it hurt my soul to hear the terrible names that people called donald. the worst one is racist. i take it as a personal insult that people think i've had a

37-year friendship with a racist. people that think that don't know what they're talking about. growing up in the deep south, i've seen racism up close. i know what it is. and it is donald trump. just because someone loves and respects the flag, our national anthem and our country doesn't mean they don't care about social justice. i care about all of those things. so does donald trump. he shows how much he cares about social justice through his actions. his actions speaks louder than stickers or slogans on a jersey. he keeps on fighting to improve the lives of black americans and all americans. he works night and day. he never stopped. he leaves nothing on the field. some people don't like his style. the way he knocks down obstacles that get in the way of his goals. people on opposing time don't like getting run over either but that's how you get the job done. i pray every night that god gives him more time. give him four more years.

he's accomplished so much almost all by himself under constant attack. if you love america, want it better, donald trump is your president. he's my president and i'm blessed to call him friend. >> sean: that was herschel walker. before that, congressman jim jordan is with us. the person that is up speaking now is natalie harp that credits life to try. let's listen in. >> without you, mr. president, we would all be living in pottersville. sold out to a crooked -- i should say a mr. -- mrs. potter with no hope of escape except death itself. i should know. i wouldn't be alive today if it wasn't for you. about five years ago, i was a victim of a notoriously deadly

medical error. i survived. only to be diagnosed with a rare and terminal bone cancer. you know, the democrats love to talk about healthcare being a human right. a right to what? i'll tell you. to them, it's a right to marijuana, opioids and the right to die with dignity. a politically correct way of saying assisted suicide. i was told i was a burden to my family and to my country. that by choosing to die early, i'd be saving the lives of others by preserving resources for them rather than wasting them on a lost cause like myself. when i failed the chemotherapies on the market, no one wanted me in their clinical trials. i'd make them look bad. they didn't give me the right to try experimental treatments, mr. president. you did. without you, i would have died waiting for them to be approved. now with the coronavirus, every one knows what it feels like to be waiting for a cure. we've been waiting a few months.

just imagine what 2020 would have looked like fighting for your life without donald trump fighting for it, too. in january, there would have been no china travel ban. millions would have died. millions more would have been infected. there would be no record levels of testing, no right to try treatments, no fast track for a vaccine or operation warp speed ready to deliver it. without donald trump as our patient advocate the past four years, well, the opioid epidemic would have stolen more lives from even more families. kidney patients without no future except dying on wait lists. no initiative to increase donations. still no accountability v.a. and our veterans would have long wait times with no choice and no access to faster care. insulin would continue to rise. a record number of generic drugs would be in the pipeline.

there's no transparency. we would have health plans 50% cheaper than obama care. we would still have the individual mandate. for joe biden's america, china would control our drugs production. we'd be a step closer to government-run healthcare. we wouldn't be unable to keep our doctors, we would be lucky if we could see any doctor. even then, some of us would be denied care. in socialized medicine, you don't beat the odds, you become the odds. i would lose my right to try. just like charlie guard. the terminally ill british baby whose government-run healthcare system decided it was too expensive and too cruel to keep him alive. you see, mr. president, you've done so much more than your promises made and promises kept. for numbers, only tell part of the story. we are the rest of it. facts with faces of americans

that would still be forgotten if you and our favorite first lady hadn't given up your own wonderful life so we could have the chance at one. george bailey's father was right. all you can take with you is that what you have given away. mr. president, that makes you the richest man in the world. for you have used your strength to make america strong again. sacrifice the life you built to make america proud again. you risked everything to make america safe again. it's a wonderful life. you made america great again and on november 3, we are going to keep america great. >> all right. that's natalee harp talking about the president's right to try. we're going to get to congressman vernon jones in a second. quick reaction from lindsey graham about this.

he also has some breaking news you broke with maria bartiromo. we'll get back to the proceedings in just a minute. big news. first, your reaction to the events tonight. >> if we don't make a commercial act what of herschel walker said, it's political malpractice. what this lady said about the right to try should be a commercial. i want people all over the country to hear about herschel walker. a 37-year friendship. i can't get out of my mind donald trump in the small world ride in a suit. this is an incredibly powerful one-two punch with natalee and herschel. >> and you have new information as it relates to the deep stated investigation, the durham investigation. >> right. sally yates said the goal was to treat both campaigns the same. mrs. yates, you failed

miserably. in 2015, the fbi found a plot to funnel money into the clinton campaign illegally. the fisa warrant office said no warrant until you tell clinton about the problem so she can fix it, compare that to the way the fbi treated trump. they never told him about any of the problems. they used the fisa process to spy on his campaign. this is a very big deal. >> sean: are you confident now there's enough evidence that grand juries should now be convened and indictments given? will that happen? >> i'm looking at two things. the testimony given to the senate intel committee by the fbi was white-washing what the sub source told the fib in 2017 about the reliability of the dossier. i'm now looking to find out did mccabe and comey know that the january and march interview of

2017 trashed the dossier as a reliableable document. durham is closing in and i'm closing in. the island that comey and mccabe signed warrants in april or june of 2017 not knowing the dossier is garbage is hard for me to believe. >> thanks, senator lindsey graham. we now join vernon jones. >> for generations, hbcus have been the incubators that developed black scholars and math and science and religion, engineering and politics. they have been important spring boards for the black success. but democrats have not treated them that way. when president trump took office, he changed everything. he delivered historic funding to hbcus and guaranteed it for ten years. something that has never happened in the history of this country.

that gave our hbcus stability, the chance to grow and produce the next generation of black leaders. that's right. donald trump did that. he's also supported school choice to assure that no child no matter their race or zip code is left behind. every child should have access to a quality education. but education is just the beginning. the president also built the most inclusive economy ever with record low unemployment for african americans. record high participation in the work force. he put opportunity zones in the trump tax bill that would drive investment into our communities for decades to come. he put the interest of american workers and especially black workers first. that's right. donald trump did that. he delivered historic criminal justice reform.

he ended once and for all the policy of incarceration of black people which has decimated our communities caused by no other than joe biden. democrats wouldn't do it. obama didn't want to do it. joe biden and kamala harris definitely wouldn't do it. donald trump did it. he's also working every day to make our community safer. as a former executive of dekalb county, georgia, i directed one of the largest public safety departments in the southeast. i seen tragic shootings on both sides. officers killing citizens and citizens killing officers in the line of duty. police officers are our fellow citizens. they live in our country. they have families, too. they live in our communities. unfortunately, democrats have turned their backs on our brave

police officers. they call it defunding. it's a danger to our cities, our neighborhoods and our children. isn't it ironic that democrat politicians have personal security to protect them. so why don't they forego their security and replace them with social workers, especially since that's what they want for you and me. our police need more funding, not less. for frequent psychological examinations, for -- >> sean: a small break here. we have mark and patricia mccloskey coming up in just a moment. we're going to hear there andrew pollack. first, a quick reaction from dan bongino. >> what a difference in the opening. americans want to be proud of something. what better to unify us and be proud of america. proud of america. the democrat convention was

mccaub awful place. they did a great job. make us proud of living in this great country. >> leo will be voting republican for the first time in your whole life. civil rights attorney. your thoughts so far. >> and i'm so proud of it. you talking about a rainbow coalition. hersch herschel, jim jordan. all of these people talking about american values and tradition. ari fleischer had it on the head. the democrats have turned their back on law and order and president trump is on the page regarding law and order. it's amazing democrats have abandoned cities and it's going to affect every suburb in this country. so law and order along with attacking the virus which he's done a wonderful job, this convention is exciting. it's important. it's factual. it's to the benefit of the

president. i hope every democrat gets kicked in the head and said what did we do last week? it was horrific. this is a perfect convention and three more days left. >> sean: it's going to get more interesting as the days go by. when we come back, you know, our next speaker is vernon jones now. wraps up his portion of the program tonight. andrew pollack, his daughter meadow, was killed in the parkland shooting. one of the big issues that we have as a divide here is really obvious. higher taxes, lower taxes, energy independence, open borders, no open borders. gun control or not. this is andrew pollack, his daughter, meadow killed in the parkland shooting. let's stay on this. >> changed my life forever. i'm andrew pollack. his name isn't worth saying. one of the seniors walking in

the hallways was my beautiful daughter, meadow. months away from graduating and beginning a new life. so proud of the woman she had become. but in this hallway on that third floor, the gunman saw her and hit her four times. after she was shot and on the floor, she crawled over to another student, a freshman girl to protect her. she draped her body over her and then the scumbag gunman shot my daughter at point blank range five more times killing meadow and the girl that she was shielding. she had her whole life ahead of her. in that life, she could have done anything and been anything. so many moments that i waited so long for were taken from me. i didn't get to drop her off at college. i didn't get to walk her down the aisle. every moment was taken from her

and for what? i never wanted this to be a political spectacle but it did. i never wanted to meet the president like this, but i did. i was invited to the white house. the truth is, i just had buried my daughter that week. i wasn't interested in public events like a tour or a photo open. i was interested in answers and solutions. so the president wanted to meet me personally. i said i'd go. they said of course, that was his plan. at the white house, my family and i sat with the president in the oval office and told him about meadow. i told him what we knew. i told them that his administration needed to take a closer look at what went wrong and why. i got to see who president trump really is. he's a good man and a great listener. he cuts through the b.s. then the president did what he said he could do. he took action. he formed a school safety commission that issued dozens of

recommendations to make schools safer. but i'll bet you never heard about that. instead, the media turned my daughter's murder to a coordinated attack on president trump. republicans and our second amendment. in fact, when president trump asked me and other parents of children that were murdered in school shootings to join him as he announced the commission's findings, the media's first question wasn't about protecting kids. shockingly, they asked about the government shut down. president trump turned to me, appalled and said andy, can you believe these people? we're trying to talk about school safety and this is what they do. i could believe it. after my daughter's murder, the media didn't seem interested in the facts. so i found them myself. i learned that gun control laws didn't fail my daughter. people did. the gunman that threatened to kill his classmates before.

he threatened to rape them. he threatened to shoot up the school. every red flag you can imagine. but the school didn't just miss these red flags. they knowingly ignored them. far left democrats in our school district made the shooting possible because they implemented something that they called restorative justice. this policy really just blames teachers for students failures, puts kids and teachers at risk and makes shootings more likely. but it was built as a pioneering approach to discipline and safety. i was fine with the old approach of discipline and safety. it was called discipline and safety. but the obama-biden administration took bad policies and forced them to schools across america. when president trump rescinded obama's policies, he put an end to that. that meant the world to me.

it's hard to tell how much mr. biden understands about what happened at parkland. mr. biden has campaigned on bringing back restorative justice as part of his unity platform with bernie sanders and his pledge to implement in school districts across america. but he doesn't even seem to know when the shooting happened. he said that he was vice president when it happened. but he wasn't. mr. biden may not know when my daughter was murdered but i do. february 14, 2018. mr. biden may not know that these policies make shootings more likely, but i do. mr. biden may not know who was vice president that day, but i do. it wasn't joe biden. it was mike pence. thank god. i know who the president was, too. it wasn't barack obama. it was president donald j. trump and he took action. i truly believe the safety of our kids depends on whether this

man is re-elected. i hope you join me in helping to make that happen. mr. president, myself and millions of americans appreciate you and love you. god bless america and god bless our president, donald j. trump. thank you. >> sean: all right. that was andrew pollack speaking there. his daughter, meadow, killed in the parkland shooting. this video is about the mccloskey case. >> mark mccloskey says he and his family have been threatened with violence. >> a first warrant has been executed at the home of mark and patricia mccloskey. >> the husband and wife charged with turning guns at protesters. >> good evening, america. we're mark and patty mccloskey. we're speaking with you tonight

from st. louis, missouri where weeks ago you may have seen us defending our home as a mob of protesters descended on our neighborhood. >> america is such a great country but not only do you have the right to own a gun and use it to defend yourself, but thousands of americans will offer you free advice on how to use it. at least that's what we experienced. what you saw happen to us could just as easily happen to any of you who are watching from quiet neighborhoods around our country. that is what we want to speak to you about tonight. >> that's exactly right. whether it's the defunding of plus, ending cash bails so criminals can be released on the same day to riot again or encouraging anarchy and chaos on our streets, seems like the democrat notice longer view the government's job as protecting honest citizens from criminals but rather protecting criminals from honest citizens.

not a single person in the out of control mob that you saw at our house was charged with a crime. but you know who was? we were. they actually charged us with felonies for daring to defend our home. on top of that, consider this. the marxist liberal activist stood outside our home with a bull horn saying you can't stop the revolution. that same activist won the democrat nomination to hold a seat in the u.s. house of representatives in the city of st. louis that is the same as winning the general election. that marxist revolutionary will be the congresswoman from the first district of missouri. these radicals are not content with marching in the streets. they want to walk the halls of congress. they want to take over. they want power, this is joe

biden's party. these are the people that will be in charge of your future and the future of your children. >> they're not satisfied with spreading the chaos and violence into our communities. they want to abolish the suburbs altogether by ending single family home zoning. >> sean: dan bongino, very powerful tape there. big issue. prior to that, we heard the case of natalie harp, how right to try helped save her life. andrew pollack, his daughter, meadow that was killed in in the parkland shooting. your take on this so far. >> i'm blown away. andrew pollack's speech was the most powerful and emotional appeal for safety and security, for american families. i heard in a five-minute speech

or my 45 years on this planet. i'm stumbling over my world here. 2018 cpac. i was getting ready to go down stairs. andrew pollack came on. he grabbed the microphone and he said, that was my daughter. that was my daughter. i will never as long as i live forget that moment, the raw emotion in a man that just lost his teenage daughter. to hear him frame it in words that everybody can understand. tell america, you know who listened to me? donald trump and the vice president. they heard me. you didn't hear any of it because you heard about all this other crap. that was just really emotional, sean. really blew me away. i was like i hope he doesn't come to me. i was -- >> sean: real quick. leo, real quick.

kimberly guilfoyle is next. >> andrew pollack has every reason to tell america the truth. what donald trump, what he has done for this country and individuals. donald trump cares about every day americans. >> sean: let's go back to kimberly guilfoyle. >> i speak to you tonight as a mother, a former pros cuter, a latina and proud american. a proud supporter of president donald j. trump. why? he's the president that delivers for america. he built the greatest economy that the world has known, for the strivers, the working class and middle class. as commander-in-chief, he always puts america first. president trump is the law and order president. now presidential leadership is not guaranteed. it is a choice. biden, harris and the socialists

will fundamentally change this nation. they want open borders, closed schools, dangerous amnesty and will selfishly send your jobs back to china while they get rich. they will defund, dismantle and destroy america's law enforcement. when you are in trouble and need police, don't count on the democrats. as a first generation american, i know how dangerous their socialist agenda is. my mother was a special education teacher from puerto rico. my father also an immigrant came to this nation and pursued the american dream. now i consider it my duty to fight to protect that dream. rioters must not be allowed to destroy our cities. human sex drug traffickers should not be allowed to cross our borders. the same socialist policies that

destroyed places like cuba and venezuela must not take root in our cities and our schools. if you want to see the socialist biden-harris future for our country, look at california. it's a place of immense wealth. innovation. immaculate environment. the democrats turned it into riots in streets, heroin in parks and blackouts in homes. in president trump's america we light things up. we don't dim them down. we build things up. we don't burn them down. we kneel in prayer and we stand for our flag. this election is a battle for the soul of america. your choice is clear.

do you support the cancel culture, the elites of nancy pelosi, chuck schumer and joe biden who blame america first? do you think america is to blame? or do you believe in american greatness, believe in yourself in president trump, in individual and personal responsibility? they want to destroy this country and everything that we have fought for and hold dear. they want to steal your liberty, your freedom. they want to control what you see and think and believe so that they can control how you live. they want to enslave you to the weak, the be dependent liberal ideology to the point that you will not recognize this country or yourself. from the beginning, when president trump spoke about

making america great again, he was speaking about that shining city on a hill and restoring the beacon of light that once shined so bright. his promise was to put america first and he has. when president trump cut middle class taxes, putting tens of thousands of dollars back in the pockets of working class americans, that beacon began to flicker once again. when president trump commanded the defeat of isis, took out al-baghdadi and paved the way for peace in the middle east, that beacon started to glow. when he negotiated historic trade deals with canada, mexico, japan and china, bringing back thousands of manufacturing jobs to america, that beacon shined bright once again for the world to see. america, it's all on the line.

president trump believes in you. he lifts you up to live your american dream. you are capable. you are qualified. you are powerful and you have the ability to choose your life and determine your destiny. don't let the democrats take you for granted. don't let them step on you. don't let them destroy your families, your lives and your future. don't let them kill future generations because they told you and brainwash you and fed you lies that you weren't good enough. like my parents, you can achieve your american dream. you can be that shining example to the world. manifest -- >> sean: we'll get back. dip in every once in a while as we're doing here. the host of "justice" with judge jeanine and turner point u.s.a. founder, president charlie kirk. he spoke in the 8:00 p.m. hour tonight.

judge, we'll start with you. friend, colleague, kimberly guilfoyle. your overall take on the night. >> i'll tell you, when the night started, sean, i was so happy toe be an american. it was uplifting, it was exciting. sent chills down your spine. everything about this night has been all about american and how hard we work and how hard we try to make it the land of opportunity. i mean, meadow's father was heart breaking to listen him talk about how his daughter, a senior in high school, i was killed trying to protect a freshman. it's heart breaking to hear about the mccloskeys. in the end we all have to defend ourselves. the second amendment is on the line now. we have to make sure that this president gets re-elected so we can continue to have a prosperous america and one where we're safe. >> yeah. charlie kirk, your take on the

night. steve scalise just stepped up. >> i was honored to participate earlier. what is amazing, sean, every one of these speakers was an issue that democrats ignored from riots to safety, future of america, school choice, education. the republican party. credit the producers doing a brilliant job. much better than the democrats. they have been communicating to real concerns for middle class americans. the president will see a double digit boost because of this convention. you're seeing real stories, told to people that honestly are worried about the future of america and democrats possibly getting to power. this has been a total home run and i was honor towed participate in it. >> sean: let's your take, leo and dan. >> can i vote right now? i'm so excited. i want to vote now. is there early voting? can i vote now?

>> sean: any one person or kimberly that set you over the top? >> i'm telling you, it's a collection. charlie and the judge. everyone. it brings chills. i have chills. i want to vote now. can i vote after the show? >> depends if you live in chicago. if you're dead, people in past elections have voted. >> this is fantastic. >> sean: dan? >> yeah, i think tonight you had two speeches that already just broke the entire democrat convention. herschel walker was simply phenomenal. and again, andrew pollack's speech was mind-blowing. the twitter response has been off the charts. it's night one. i don't want to get ahead of myself. these are phenomenal speeches. everybody is right. it's night and day from the democratic convention. >> and you -- >> sean: go ahead. >> you know what?

and if in fact the whole point, the democrats talked about how dark and dreary and depressing the country was. the republicans are talking about how optimism can exist. how well we can do in america. you're absolutely right. it's night and day. that's the way they have described it. >> sean: yeah. let me go back -- >> shaken? >> sean: back to you guys in a minute. to steve scalise, the house minority whip. >> he's focusing the full weight of the government and curing the virus and cutting red tape and empowers scientists to create a vaccine. this is visionary leadership and action at a time that we can't afford another 47 years of hollow promises. america has been through tough times before. who better to lead us out of these tough times than the president that build the strongest economy our country has ever seen. donald trump did it before.

donald trump will deliver for us again. god bless you and god bless these united states of america. >> sean: next up is sean parnell. he is a congressional candidate from the ever-important swing state in 71 days, the great state of pennsylvania that under joe biden and kamala harris would end fracking. here's sean parnell. >> it's an honor to be here. in 2006, the army sent me to afghanistan as a young platoon leader. our platoon reflected the diversity of our nation. every race, creed and religion. despite those differences, we were bound together as brothers from the same american family. on june 10, 2006, our platoon was attacked after dawn. outnumbered ten to one, we endured mortar and machine gun fire as hundreds of taliban charged us from three sides. we had 24 men that day.

wave of wave after taliban advanced up the hill. i was wounded three times in the fighting. the enemy kept coming. we fought to our last rounds of ammunition and when it was over, we held the hill. in the face of death, i saw ordinary americans become heros. in our darkest hour, when our survival depended on each other, my men and i learned an important lesson. we all bleed red. our differences did not define us. united we were unbeatable. after 485 days of combat, i came home eager to enjoy the freedoms that i risked my life to defend. i watched with alarm as the party of my grandfather, a life-long union democrat turned against the very people that it professed to represent. i watched as joe biden spit venom as an auto worker that

dared to question his intent to dismantle the second amendment. democrat once stood for law amiding americans. this new democratic party considers them uneducated racists. the party of harry truman because the party of hollywood celebrities and university professors bloated with content for middle america. i look across the aisle and i don't see a party that wants you to pursue your dreams. i see a democrat party that wants to dictate what the dreams are. i don't see a party that wants you to be free. i see a party that wants to chain you to conformity and will destroy anyone. i swore an oath to defend my country and its constitution. president trump has sworn to do the same. that's why he's advanced freedom despite savage political

attacks. president trump has unleashed the economic might of this nation like no other president in our history. he triggered the rising tide of working families, reclaimed jobs from overseas, energy independence. you know, democrats said the jobs would never return. he's fiercely defended the first and second amendment. that is just a start. with four more years, imagine what we can achieve by simply working with our president. i believe in our president's vision for the future. i stand here tonight calling on all americans to join us. it doesn't matter what you look like, who you love, how you worship your gender or your job. if you're a traditional democrat that is disillusioned with how radical your party has become, stand with us. you're most welcome. america needs all of her patriots to rush to her defense. my fellow americans, i promise

you this. in our tent, you are free. free to speak the truth. choose your journey. define your life. you have the power to go as far as you aim, aim higher and keep going because that's what americans do. we're idealists and dreamers, lovers of adventure. rugged and independent. we don't make excuses. we make the impossible a reality. think about it. in a century we went from ground bound dreamers gazing to the stars to doers that created the means to reach them. this is not the time to stand on the sidelines. if you love our country as we do, as our president does -- >> sean: all right. we're running out of time for our hour tonight. stay with the fox news channel for our continuing coverage. programming notes. we'll be broadcasting live from the rose garden in the lead up for melania trump's speech tomorrow night. wednesday we'll be at fort

mchenry and thursday live on the south lawn. live free or die. amazon.com. 40% off. thanks for being with us. brett and martha next followed by laura ingraham. have a good night. >> good evening from our nation's capitol. welcome to our special coverage of night one of the republican national convention. i'm martha maccallum. >> and i'm bret baier. with 71 days to go, the republicans have the microphone and using it to hit back at the messages that we heard last week from the dnc. the president will make a surprise appearance, his second one of the night. >> the president also surprised delegates in charlotte speaking after he crossed the thresholds of votes to become his part
