or some other neil con zine, this type nikki haley or mike pompei o. but honestly, rory, i think there are so many americans that would rise up in a form of quiet civil war that you would have the end of america with an if donald trump ended tomorrow, you'd have the end of the old america. and the rise up of something new and it wouldn't be polite and it wouldn't be calm and it wouldn't be compromising. you have a lot of americans who have watch their finances be destroyed, their borders be over run. they've been invaded. they've had homeland security. uh, secretary of facilitate open treason against the united states bite and of course, pushing treason against the united states, the war against russia, which is totally unconstitutional. i was in belgrade and share a bank. and my, my was even attacked by drones and missiles by a hotel was bombed in belgrade, and of course, innocent civilians were killed. this was all done by the biden democrats and the rhinos. and they've, they've failed the, i mean incredibly, but they have started so many wars and co

mike, good evening to you. nikki haley was invited to speak at the convention after former president trump was shot on saturday. she says in the name of unity, republicans, including several primary challengers united in their support of donald trump. the rhetoric also taking a sharper edge with tonight's theme of immigration and crime. >> donald trump has my strong endorsement period. >> nikki haley urging voters to support donald trump embracing republicans call for unity. the former president sat in the crowd as his once bitter rival made the case for his return to the white house. >> you don't have to agree with trump, 100% of the time to vote for him. >> haley joined a list of opponents turned supporters of the former president. speaking on night two of the republican national convention. the focus on the party's message on public safety and immigration. >> kamala had one job, one job, and that was to fix the border. now imagine her in charge of the entire country. >> we are facing an invasion on our southern border.

former presidential candidates like florida governor ron desantis, and nikki haley, and top house republicans like the speaker mike johnson. >> speakers, will be focused on crime. this has been branded by the rnc as make america safe once again. it's a notable theme just three days after mr. trump survived an assassination attempt at one of his rallies. nbc news also learned that the secret service actually ramped up security in recent weeks, after concerns about an iranian assassination plot. that plot appears to be separate from what happened over the weekend. >> we have much to cover this morning, joining us here in milwaukee, "meet the press" moderator, kristen welker and senior washington correspondent, hallie jackson. we'll start with you kristen. tonight is a team of rivals, we saw nikki haley, who of course ran against donald trump, ron desantis, and they're preaching unity. >> that's right, savannah, and it was so fascinate to go hear from nikki haley. she said this, i'll start by making one thing perfectly clear, donald trump has my strong endorsement period, a stark difference from what we heard from te

nikki haley. speaker johnson, mike johnson, mentioned it.a disconnect, because this is a party where the speakers are asking us -- they are mentioning unity, but they are also saying we need to fight, fight, fight, and as jonathan just said, the redmeat that you hear from ron desantis is not a message of unity. it remains to be seen. there's another two nights for them to figure out -- we don't know what former president donald trump himself is going to say, but right now it is a conflicting message. i feel like i am being pulled in one direction and then another by what i am hearing. geoff: how much of this is a reflection from what we saw in 2020? when president biden said i can beat him once, i can beat him again, will he be proven right if the message from the party is reflective of what we have already seen from this former president? amy: this gets back to the other issue we have touched on, but we will be spending a lot of time in the next week about, which is what is going on on the democratic side. the fact that it is the president

mike pence. one other individual, nikki haley, who we're told did not receive an actual invite to the convention. whether that was a slight and intentional. >> so you like to see her go? >> i don't know. i'm going to take a a look at it. she gave her delegates over. you know, there was a lot of bad blood there. she stayed too long. she was being soundly defeated at any place, but she wouldn't leave. >> trump's campaign team has over the course of the last month continued to push aside the relevance of nikki haley or the support that she gained during the primaries believing it to be in large part anti-trump democrats or independents or republicans who weren't going to vote for trump, but her appearance at the convention would be a stark signal she's willing to play the maga game in 2024. >> let's talk more about the timing as the rnc prepares to meet in milwaukee, the democratic party is in turmoil with some lawmakers questioning president biden's place at the top of the ticket. what do you make of this moment and the bigger picture? >> what you see is a lot of confidence from former president tr

earlier speakers included primary rivals nikki haley, vivek ramaswamy, and ron desantis, as well as high- profile congressional republicans like mike johnson, elise stefanik, and ted cruz. >> look at the border. it is the single biggest threat americans face. under joe biden, migrants are coming into our country by the thousands every day. >> we, in the republican party, are the law and order team. we always have been and we always will be the advocates for the rule of law and we all know that that principal as well as many others is in serious jeopardy today. >> let's make the 45th president of the united states the 47th president of the united states. let's elect republicans up and down the ballot and let's heed the call of our party's nominee to fight, fight, fight, for these united states. >> here is more of lara trump speaking right now. >> the largest tax cuts in american history. our energy independence. massive amounts of red tape cut and no new wars when donald j. trump was president. maybe most importantly though, you can actually feel it in your everyday life. you didn't have to love everything that he tweeted, but you c

mike johnson. awesome question, can nikki haley persuade any skeptical republicans? to vote for donald trump are standing by her remarks are the most important speeches of the night how about that thank you read if you're in new york giant. >> yes, sir. there was do our team still add and pieces still have the draft with the agency, think what let's have a conversation patients and here it it's unlike anywhere else for all season with the new york giants streaming exclusively on max, liberty mutual customizes my car insurance and i saved hundreds with all the money i saved thought i'd buy still so many look, no line at the hot dog stand auonly pay for what you need right now. get america's most trusted pink brand and everyday low price, maybe a pair starting at 29, 98 you will made to fund in a piece we remain to track flight prices to paradise if you have chronic kidney disease, you can reduce the risk of kidney failure with bars sega because there are places would like to be for segal can cause serious side effects, including ketoacidosis that may be fatal dehydrat

you reported that nikki haley wasn't, the horrific events this weekend, necessarily going to speak we saw mikeence's treatment for being loyal up and through the loss and punishment for not wanting to join an illegal coup. these other individuals face the same situation. i think it's fascinating. nikki haley's speech probably matters more than any other non- nominee because she get it in a way that might appeal or she may do the bare minimum. we should remember, donald trump is never got more votes in an election. he didn't do it in 2016 and he lost in 2020 and the midterms have been bruising for him. he does look luckier right now, but again, he doesn't do a lot of addition. i will be watching to see if nikki haley puts in a phoned in, mellow, checklist speech because there are people that he would still need to join the coalition that she had and we have to see how she sounds. >> to that point, the biden campaign is sending president tesh vice president kamala harris to sit with women. nikki haley, she hit 16, 20% in each of the primaries, there is some of those people who have said to camer

some of those late state primaries, we still saw nikki haley pulling a large number of voters back in 20 back in 2016. for then candidate trump chose mikece, knowing he needed to bulk up the evangelical vote, knowing he needed to strengthen things. there this time around it, credibility and his credibility party, this time around, trump chose jd vance. sure. he'll help and some of those key states with white voters, but its not something that trump really needs to ramp above he still has strong support there. i think that shows trump made a play for a reason for having somebody who he is supportive of who can carry the maga agenda into the next generation. remember, age has been a huge part of this election. but if you wanted to worry about getting voters like that and other voters who may be skeptical of him for flip-flopping and force he would have brought someone in who wasn't an exact copy of him politically. it's it's certainly seems to show that donald trump is freed to do what he wants to do, pick the person that he likes because he isn't constrained in the way he was in 2016, meghan hays, i very briefly let me just bring you in

nikki haley spoke at the rnc last night and said that former president trump has her, quote, "strong endorsement, period." and then mikeed to have her arrested for saying period. [ laughter ] former house speaker kevin mccarthy and florida congressman matt gaetz appeared to get into a verbal argument last night on the floor of the republican national convention. also on the floor of the republican national convention, rudy giuliani! [ laughter ] >> seth: did the punchline have anything to do with the setup? no. [ laughter ] but this is a stressful time in america and we've got to find joy where we can. after florida congressman matt gaetz confronted fores -- excuse me. after florida congressman matt gaetz confronted former house speaker kevin mccarthy at the republican national convention last night, mccarthy reportedly said, quote, "shut up, gaetz, don't be an ass[ bleep ]." excuse me. are you telling this guy not to be an ass[ bleep ]? [ laughter ] would you tell the sun not to shine or the grass not to grow? would you tell the surf not to crash on the shore? [ laughter ] look at that guy. that is a perfect central c

and make a trope out of kamala harris as the republican party like a nikki haley has tried to do making this threat that this woman mikeme in now, i had an adjective, don't at me tonight that i was angry and i'm not just some passionate about my abuse. and so i could see a jd vance trying to get a camila harris in a position where he could be like, don't be so angry. kamala harris is smarter than that. she's savvy, she's a prosecutor. she can handle her own. >> and so i think that matchup could actually pay you're very well the reality though is jd vance has to accept the vice presidential debate invitation first and the language that he put out tonight, is that he hasn't and i wonder what well, here's a different adjectives. describe ashley allison astute. tell me what you make of her assessment even know more is going to be the match-up jd vance is show arrogant right now assuming he's going to debate camila harris, assuming he's in a run all over camila harris for are they're unified republicans are unified, but there's an arrogance in the cockiness right now. i agree i think they are so overplaying their hand on ou

house speaker mike johnson, alabama senator katie britt in georgia, congresswoman marjorie taylor, greene will deliver remarks on the economy. >> and former south carolina governor nikki haleynow scheduled to speak tuesday. her spokesperson says formerly she was not invited to this year's aren't seat following saturday shooting. she has now instructed her delegates to back trump. it will be delivering a message on unity. now if waukee raquel martin, back to you. >> well, the decision to select a senator vance throwing some people off guard considering vance has criticized trump in the past. but according to our political analyst michael yaki, who i spoke with during. our our at 2 o'clock today, the decision making some sense because vance might be able to connect with younger people. he's a only 39 years old and it comes from ohio. that is a battleground state. >> it's a safe choice and someone who basically it starting in 2022. a converted to trump ideology. he's one of america's most arguments and eloquent speakers. energizes the base. he's young. he be seen as the next generation. >> donald ideology late. >> says republicans must win ohio in order to win the election. th

house speaker mike johnson, alabama senator katie britt in georgia, congresswoman marjorie taylor, greene will deliver remarks on the economy. >> and former south carolina governor nikki haley is now scheduled to speak tuesday. her spokesperson says formerly she was not invited to this year's aren't seat following saturday shooting. she has now instructed her delegates to back trump. will be delivering a message on unity. now if waukee raquel martin, back to you. >> all right. coming up a little bit later here during kron for news, the 2, we will have a live report from inside the republican national convention that's taking place in milwaukee. our plan is to do to 15 today. now we want to provide some more perspective on trump's decision to name senator jd vance as his running mate for the november election. and for that, we bring in our political analyst michael yaki. thank you for joining us here, too. thank you, justin. so what does this choice of ohio senator jd vance say about the gop ticket? >> it's a safe choice and someone who basically it started in 2022. a converted to trump ideology. he's one of america's most arden's and eloquent speakers. he energizes base. he

. >> mike, you and i stood there in the ball room listening to nikki haley. as john said it's not judicial for candidates to fall in line and support the nominee but the criticism is not on policy. it's that donald trump is diminished. she compared him to joe biden saying he is not the same guy he was when i worked in the administration. he became more unhinged. the line she kept using over and over again don't blame me come november if you nominate donald trump. he's going to lose to joe biden. don't come crying to me. now here she is giving a full-throated endorsement at the convention. >> you know, when she spoke that night in new hampshire i don't think she realized then and probably doesn't still realize now what an outlier she is in what used to be the republican party. the republican party's brand now is donald trump and has been for quite some time. and, jonathan, you talk to people in washington all the time, there has to be an awareness that this is not only unique in this century, it's unique, maybe, in american political history that one individua

house speaker, mike johnson will be at the podium again tonight, elise stefanik, tom emmer and steve scalise, all part of the house republican leadership and then also speaking will be nikki haley and evan are ron desantis. all three of those, challenging mr. trump in this primary, the 2024 presidential primary. and also we are expected to hear from marco rubio of florida. he made the shortlist as a possible vice presidential pick. the announcement made yesterday that mr. trump decided to go with ohio senator j.d. vance. laura trump, also the rnc co-chair will be speaking tonight. we want to show you the front page of the new york post. this is the headline. everything is coming up trump. his pick, senator j.d. vance and the dismissal of the federal classified documents case against him and of course his narrow brush with an assassination attempt this past weekend. a lot going on tonight in the fiserv forum as well as the 2024 republican national convention enters its second day. we are on the convention floor with more on tonight. >> good evening and welcome to the next day of the republican national convention. we are front and center with the podium at our backs and we are g

mike pence. thank you for being with us here. just what we heard there from ron desantis and nikki haley most recently, what did you make of theirunity trying this convention convention has been about so far? i convention has been about so far? ~ , �* . , far? i think they didn't was necessary _ far? i think they didn't was necessary to _ far? i think they didn't was necessary to do _ far? i think they didn't was necessary to do this - far? i think they didn't was necessary to do this for - necessary to do this for primaries regardless of the party, i think you would agree with me, are betterfamily affairs, they leave scars are sometimes but once a primary is over, whetherfor sometimes but once a primary is over, whether for congress, governor, president of the united states, the only to come together anew not because generally speaking we talk about the same thing, maybe 90 5% we disagree about two or 3%, so this was important to do. it is also important to do for the future of nikki haley and maybe ron desantis want to play in the republican party moving forward. both are young and still have a career ahead of them, the questi

reported nikki haley was not until the horrific events this weekend necessarily even going to speak. we saw mike pence's treatment for being loyal up and do the loss and punishment for not wanting to join an illegal coup and these other individuals faced that same situation so i do think it is something fascinating. nikki haley speech probably matters more than any other non- nominee because she could give it in a way that could appeal or she might do the bare minimum. donald trump has never gotten more votes. he lost in 2020. the midterms of been bruising for him, so he does look luckier right now, but again he does not do a lot of addition. with nikki haley i will be watching to see if she puts in more phoned in, mellow, or like a checklist speech, because there are people that he would still need to join the coalition and we have to see how she sounds. >> by the way to that point, the biden campaign has been sending kamala harris to sit with republican women. she had 16 to 20% in each of these primaries. there are some of these people who have set on camera that they cannot vote for donald tr

particularly that nikki haley voter, you know, who i think articulated a vision closer to what i'm talking about. >> let me go down back on the floor. we have governor mikee with vaughn hillyard. it is the senator from his state that is the vice presidential pick of donald trump. vaughn to you. >> reporter: governor dewine, now the pick has been formalized. your senator j.d. vance is now the selection. have you had the chance to connect with him yet? >> no, i've not. we've been pretty busy down here on the floor. i know he's very busy. >> you were talking to him earlier today. >> yeah, i talked to him earlier today. this is very exciting for the state of ohio. this is a great thing for ohio. ohio is the heart of it all, now we're going to have the candidate, and we hope the vice president. >> when did you meet vance? >> i sought him out. i thought it was fascinating what he articulated in ha book. he and his wife came over for dinner, the governor's residence. we had the opportunity to host them. we've been friends since. we have a good working relationship, which i'm looking forward to continuing when he's in the white house. >> two things for you, one,

donald trump's former primary challenger, of course, nikki haley speak at the republican convention last night. joining us now, axios co-founder mike earlier, mike, i don't know, we can talk about the rnc. there's a lot of unity, everybody is sort of saying the same stuff. and there are some interesting things you can say with jd vance that you can weigh in on because he's got some economic ideas. lina khan and all of these cross-currents. we'll see what kind of vice president he can become. now i'm more interested in the move to renominate president biden early, and i think they really want to do that, but there are still a lot of people that are like, no, we cannot do that, that seem to be holding out the possibility of something happening at the convention to change candidates. >> 100%. a real surprise in the hall behind me as i was talking with axios reporters and as i was talking with news makers. they were talking about biden and chicago a month from now. you almost never get that these conventions are such bubbles. there's so much going on, fascination here, you rarely even talk about the other side. but there is yet again a

. >> mike, to your reporting, let me show you what nikki haley had to say. >> most americans do not wantts 80-year-old candidate is going to be the party that's going to win this election. >> i would expect this video will find its way into the living rooms of many swing voters in many swing counties. this is sort of the stated political reality from 24 hours ago that the trump campaign has to recalibrate to now. >> yeah. and, look. by -- i think i've been a little surprised by how much the democrats have fallen into line behind harris and not only has that helped them in sort of getting their footing as they try and position themselves here against trump, but it has also distracted in taking, you know, the attention away from the past three weeks, which was a really ugly story that played out. i mean this was -- for either weeks or months or years, the president's aides have been working to conceal this from the public. at first out into the public in a very dramatic way. the president seems to rae volt from his own party and basically, you know, when pretty much every elected leader ex

you just reported that nikki haley wasn't, and until, of course, the horrific events this weekend, necessarily even going to speak. we saw mike pence's treatment for being loyal up and through the loss, and just punishment for not wanting to join an illegal coup. and these other individuals face that same situation. so i do think it is something fascinating, nikki haley's speech probably matters more than any other non-nominee, because she could give it in a way that might appeal or she could do the bare minimum. we should remember, as well, donald trump has never gotten more votes in election when he was on the ballot. he did not do that in 16, he lost in 20, midterms have been breezing for him. he does look luckier right now. but, again, he does not do a lot of addition. if nikki haley, i will be watching to see if she puts in a more phoned in, mellow, or like checklist speech, because there are people that he would still need to join the coalition that she had, and we have to see how she sounds. >> to that very point, the biden campaign is sending vice president kamala harris to sit with republican women. and remember, nik

mike johnson. former 2024 white house speaker mikejohnson. former 2024 white house challenges, florida governor ronit dissenters and former south carolina governor and former us ambassador to the un nikki haley will also speak amongst others, and we will bring you those remarks live as they happen here at bbc news. the theme of tonight is make america safe again, so the focus will be on immigration and crime but also on matters of family rights and abortion and rental rates, so we will have lots of analysis and discussion of what that message is from the trump campaign and how it matters to american voters. first, security here at the rnc continues to be a key focus following saturdays attempted assassination of donald trump by a 20—year—old gunman and a pennsylvania rally. early today a deadly shooting one mile from the rnc main venue here in milwaukee prompted a large police presence, including members of the secret service. local media reports either visiting police officers are from columbus, ohio shot and killed a knife 0hio shot and killed a knife who was fighting another man in a nearby park. that incident was outside the convention securities zone but it is the latest example of heig

mike lindell front. to be fair, that's a question i should ask. but i would say here at the same time, it's notable when you have nikki haley take the stage.stage ought years ago at the cleveland convention. at the time, we were having a lot of conversations about folks who were republican elected officials who were concerned about the stain that donald trump could have on them. but she tried to beat him. but she came back up on to stage in a great many in the republican party elected officials understand the power dynamic here in 2024. the second part of that is look what they printed on the campaign signs here. it was mass deportations now. there was not some steven miller in the background advising donald trump on what 2025 could look like. but it is printed on these convention signs that were held by the delegates on the floor that mass deportations now. the crowd here chanting send them back. i think it's at the activist level here of the heart of the republican party today, there's little fear about the pushback on its policies or identities or associating with donald trump here. that's a certain level of strength. as for mike lindel

nikki haley? do you go for the suburbs? do you tried to broaden your coalition? his answer was no. his answer was no now, his answer in 2016 was quell a convention uprising pick mike pence, a traditional establishment christian conservative from the heartland. this time, there's no doubt on that floor who the republican party, who the leader of the party as he's officially the nominee now, he's the leader of their party he has grassroots enthusiasm and they have made the calculation that he can win by picking up president biden just called jd vance a clone that will be the political argument made. someone who has who didn't begin there, but has come to the trump agenda and has come to be a trump loyalist and that by turning out they odors, they can win the election. and it's well know, 16 weeks from tomorrow if it's the right bet as someone who studies the map and the demographics, it's not a bad bet. it's not a bad bet. he did it in 2016. and again, you have a very unpopular incumbent president and you have, in many of the states that matter most. third-party candidates on the ballot that if there are people out there who can't vote for donald trump, but don't wa
