5:40 pm
consider changing the date out of respect for this holiday. i have, therefore, decided to move our rally to saturday, june 20, in order to honor their request." anyone who attends the tulsa rally has to agree to a waiver not to sue the campaign in the event they get sick with coronavirus. tonight, the president hosts a fund-raiser at his bedminister club, and cbs news has learned that all guests have to be tested for covid. major. >> garrett: nikole killion, thank you so much. president trump will accept the republican nomination in jacksonville, florida, not charlotte, north carolina, the actual site of the r.n.c. convention. the president will also hold his first post-lock-down rally a week from today in tulsa, oklahoma. for some perspective, let's bring in reince priebus, the president's first chief of staff, former chairman of the r.n.c., and cbs news contributor. reince, this event in jacksonville, typically, the last night of the convention, the acceptance speech, that's where all the big-party big wigs are, the state delegations. is that what that is going to look like, or is this going to
5:41 pm
be a free-for-all first come, first serve for any trump supporter. >> i think the r.n.c. will work out some equitable way getting delegates into jacksonville, conducting some of the business in charlotte. it's probably going to be a big celebration. >> garrett: do you anticipate in ening ofefore this evening of the president accepting the the president accepting the nomination, other speeches in other rally-type sites, a kind of build-up to this big night in jacksonville? >> well, that's exactly what i think the r.n.c. is debating right now, along with the trump campaign, to try to figure out how they're going to lead up to jacksonville, whether it be a multistate party that president trump is a part of, leading up to jacksonville, or whether you do some speeches in charlotte, and then finish off with a big bang in jacksonville. tt: so the president'ssident's going to be in going to be in tulsa. there fxt, he was supposed to teenth, june 19, but t moved it a day.a smart move?
5:42 pm
>> yeah, a really smart move. but for the president to move the date like that and say "listen, i've heard you, and some of my friends have called me, and just to keep the peace and not cause a big conspiracy, i'm moving it a day later." >> garrett: one last thing, reince, is it a good idea for the trump campaign to ask attendees to sign a waiver that there will be no liability for the campaign if they contract coronavirus there? >> it's probably smart. and you know what? there's a lot of lawyers involved in these events. and you'd be surprised how many, you know, different types of pieces of litigation spin out of events. >> garrett: but doesn't it undercut the idea that we're on the other side of this virus and everything is okay? >> well, you know, what? it's not-- you know, everything can't be sealed up tight, you know. there are going to be cases of coronavirus, i think, with us through the end of the year, until there's a mass vaccine. and i think people need to take precaution and assume the risk. >> garrett: reince priebus,
