i want to get you to look ahead to the republican national convention. after having seen the four nights of the democratic convention, what are you expecting to see from the republicans next week? dan: my guess is it will be quite a different convention. for one, they have not done the kind of production work that the democrats spent months putting together. this will be next week, a much more of a live event and without some of the packaging and entertainment value of it. the other thing we know is that although it is called the republican national convention, it will be the trump national convention. trump will be the centerpiece throughout. they will probably have tricks up their sleeve to top what the democrats did. the other aspect we should anticipate is there will be a relentless attack against joe biden and kamala harris, and the democrats in general. there will be a lot of negativity. i suspect the tone of it is likely to be different than what we saw this week. as dan just said, joe biden's speech had policy, not too much and not too little. wha

give us the takeaways from the republican national convention. >> hi, good morning, yasmin. think the little things that are striking to me, comparing the republican convention to the democratic convention is the amount of time that the republicans are spending not only reaching out to new voters a bit, but mostly, trying to shore up their own base. and increase that enthusiasm. the democratic convention, we saw a lot of reaching out to republicans, a lot of former republicans talking about joe biden. and we saw a lot of really -- not really a lot of mention about some of the most controversial social issues which we did see last night in the republican convention. there was a whole speech about abortion which we didn't have at the democratic convention. and also a lot of, i think, i was in charlotte over the weekend talking to some republican delegates who were there for the in-person portion of their meeting. and what they're looking for is a more optimistic tone. so many of them said they're looking for an optimistic tone to combat the doom and gloom from the democratic co
