[cheers and applause] there is no doubt that saturday was one of the most frightening moments of my father-in-law's life. millimeters separated him from life and certain death. and yet, it was in the midst of it all as he was jostled offstage by secret service that he knew how defining t

trump. spoken to former president trump since the attempted assassination? >> i have not. i talked to him two weeks ago in racine in an almost identical rally outdoors like that. it was a bit shocking. i was in the front row standing talking to vance and standing in front there. obviously like all of america prayerful, thankful that god spared his life, just like he ared psident reagan's four decades ago. >> people continue to talk about how things are going to change since before the attempted assassination and after. what is that change going to look like? >> i think there's a greater sense of unity. you saw that from the statement of the former first lady, melania trump. we are going to have governor desantis here, you're also having nikki haley here. republicans are particularly unified. i also think there's a sense of america wanting to pay more attention, and i think as he said just recently, he's going to change his speech. he tore up a bunch of the speech along the way. not only how

it is donald trump's party. and the fact that nikki haley was here, her message was to the voters who are still skeptical, who still aren't on board. her voters were going to be critical in this election. >> she didn't receive this invitation until just the last few days. as of last week, she was telling people, i'm not going to the rnc, i'm not speaking there, and she wasn't planning on being here. >> you're absolutely right, and that's one of the things that made the optics of this so fascinating. she did get that olive branch to come and speak at the rnc in these final days, and you could look on donald trump's face. it was a very tempered expression as he listened to her speak. i think it underscored, look, this was a fierce battle in the primaries. she's the only republican candidate to have actually won a state. and in some of these states, savannah, and lester, she got 20, 30, 40%. her voters could make all of the difference in this election. the biden campaign is vying for those voters, too. her argument

trump knew he need that.as remade the republican in his image and now he has this person who could be a standardbearer to bring that into the future, so i think that was appealing. he does not bring much in terms of the electoral map. he is from ohio, a state republicans expected to win anyhow, but he may play well across the rust belt states, some of which are quite important. we always talk about michigan, wisconsin, pennsylvania. sumi: i would love your take on the other big news, the judge aileen cannon dismissing the classified documents case against donald trump, seen as another important legal victory for the former president. what impact do you think that has. lisa: i think in some ways, donald trump's legal cases were baked into this race, but it's a lucky break. he had appointed this judge and now she has thrown out the case. he still has three other legal matters moving through the courts, but this is definitely a lucky break for the president and another blow to democrats who are coming off severa

they don't have a campaign strategy outside of trump, trump, trump. it is almost impossible to turn off the rhetoric if your entire message is donald trump. the president is struggling to convince people in his own party that he should remain at the top of the ticket and be our commander-in-chief given his mental and physical decline. he is playing to a couple different audiences here, isn't? he they are in dangerous territory now. vice president harris is challenging j.d. vance to a debate. that's fraught territory for her. she is known for her word salads and going -- as opposed to this yale graduate. it has a lot to do with the collapse of the democratic party inward. joe reid is saying donald trump should stop playing the hero and victim card. he was here -- what does that mean? >> harris: they are trying to figure out why they had to take the morning show off the air and talking about it was too potentially toxic. >> i don't know if the left is capable emotionally and physiologically capable of having a conversation with donald trump is the nomin

trump.ngressman molly jackson of texas. >> all right all right. good evening everybody. i served on active duty in the navy for 25 years. i was a navy deep-sea diver, and emergency medicine doctor and a combat physician in iraq. during that time, i also had the distinct privilege of serving for 14 years as white house physician. but most importantly, i served as the appointed position for the greatest president that this country has ever had, donald j. trump. and not only that but now i can say i've served a president who literally took a bullet for our country to the ear. president trump and i have been through a lot together over the years. but i have never ever been prouder of his leadership that i was last saturday. his warrior spirit and his display of wealth to keep fighting for our country even after getting shot down by a republican will go down as an all-time moment in american history. i know firsthand from my time at the white house that being a president is an unrelenting 20 47 j

trump and his brother, donald trump junior, giving florida as delegates to donald trump. he is now officially the third official republican nominee. third time's the charm perhaps well, it certainly worked for him the first time. and this is as we said before, a very, very, very different vibe from the last time we had a in-person convention. 2020 for a whole let's go to kaitlan collins right now, who's on the floor? kaitlan and jake. thank you. i'm here with donald trump junior. obviously, he was just talking about how his dad picked his selection for vice president senator jd vance. but how's your time doing overall since saturday night is doing well, i mean, obviously it was a pretty somber moment. i was with my kids on a saturday evening and i get this news that he's been shot, but i couldn't get a hold of anyone who was in lockdown at the hospital took about 90 minutes. so there was a long time, 90 minutes where you could talk to speak to him. it really know what was going on and when i did, he was you know, some shock but a lot of resolve he was able to he was jokin

well, because we understand that donald trump is not donald trump himself. and it's not even the republicans. we understand that there are very different approaches within the republican party of the united states, yes? donald trump is and... johnson, yes, who has recently been with him met, and elon musk, and in general, he represents a certain economic and global environment, so we understand that he will voice certain things, perhaps on his own, perhaps it will be some kind of collective decision, a collective manifestation of a certain political will, yes and i would really like donald trump to say, listen, you are in ukraine, i will give you a month, two or three, come to an agreement with the russians there, otherwise i will not... give you help, so we understand that not to give aid to ukraine is to drive a wedge into us back, that is, the situation is unpleasant, but taking into account how trump can conduct negotiations, this can happen, and therefore it is necessary to act as soon as possible. first, boris johnson doesn't really have any influence

often times donald trump _ trump is on. often times donald trump a — trump is on.ump a talk in 2016 about building a wall, _ trump a talk in 2016 about building a wall, about taking actions against other_ a wall, about taking actions against other countries, talk about it in personal— other countries, talk about it in personal terms. there wasn't necessarily the white papers, the think_ necessarily the white papers, the think tank, the research to back it up. think tank, the research to back it up. jd _ think tank, the research to back it up. jd vance brings a kind of philosophy to trump, a lot of his critics_ philosophy to trump, a lot of his critics would say it's an authoritarian philosophy, they would say that _ authoritarian philosophy, they would say thatjd authoritarian philosophy, they would say that jd vance has celebrated hungry's— say that jd vance has celebrated hungry's victor orban, for example, they would — hungry's victor orban, for example, they would say that he brings a dark world _ they would say that he brings a dark world view — they would say

then he'd be lying, the and waiting for trump to hit the stage and at the time of the shooting, trump just ton, for example, he had actually turned to his right. in fact, he was actually looking at the gunman so to speak. but if he hadn't been looking right and he had been looking straightforward. and it seems the side of his head would have taken a direct hit. in regarding the security failure in which agency is responsible for the lapse, the congressional hearing has already been shuffled. well, it'd be that my, i called a shot to do, but he had a couple of guests in the, in the studio that highlighted the attacks on the lives of politicians. very sadly, these days becoming common place secret service agent who was in charge of setting up security for that venue failed to do their job. whatever complicit in, allowing this assassination attempted to move to a car. there is no. there is no other choice. and let me explain, when you go out and do the pre sites serve as a secret service agent, you go around, you put somebody at the podium, or donald trump is going to stand. and then you

vitaly, do you think that these are empty words of trump, or does trump really count on the fact that he is there some will make some concessions, but again, let's... talk about the fact that trump said that he would end the russian-ukrainian war on ukrainian terms. what can be the base of these words? or i repeat myself, these are just another words of donald trump that he can change through a month, two or three, or immediately, as theoretically he will assume the position of president, if he is elected, of course. i believe that the words of donald trump do not support the american president in any real way, but i think that donald trump will try to implement them. the fact that donald trump is talking to volodymyr zelensky at all does not mean that he does not care about the russian-ukrainian war. and the fact that he understands that a large number of americans support ukraine in this war. and on the eve of the presidential elections in of the united states, he doesn't want to ignore these people, because he understands that if he were to ignore these people, it would lead to, we

with donald trump. joe biden's running against a criminal. it should not be even close and there's only one reason it is close, and that's the president's age, and what i would say, kristen, what i would advise the president is seek out the opinions of people you trust. he's obviously talked to his family about this and that's important, but he should seek out people with some distance and objectivity. he should seek pollsters who are not his own pollsters. he should take a moment to make the best informed judgment and if the judgment is run and then run hard and beat that s.o.b. >> congressman, you watched that interview on friday, and a lot of democrats said it is fine. he certainly seemed stronger and more robust than during the debate, but it didn't put concerns to rest. are you confident he can beat donald trump or do you think he should drop out of the race? >> the interview didn't put concerns to rest. no single interview is going to do that, and what i do think the president needs to decide is c

acceptance that nomination we also have learned that ivanka trump and melania trump will be in room to hear trump's speech as he calls for uniter full display calling for unity across the country speaker was house mike johnson great to have you. >> thank you so much for being here what a convention, i want to get your take on what you are seeing out there, ahead of the president's wild highly accepted speech. >> i sat with president trump in box we talked about this he said i don't think there has ever been this energy in republican convention there hasn't not any lifetime people have so much energy i think felt around the country itch will traveled any one stop at events 144 cities, 31 states, seven months campaigning with all our candidates incumbents people to flip seats from blue to red there is energy reached crescendo after failed assassination attempt this is personal real to people i think headed for great november. >> how many seats do you think you can gain. >> i am not going to handicap you get in trouble when you do that but we are bullish with november a number of seats

trump university, a total scam. trump wine. for $99 you can smell like donald trump.gments for the trump woman who wants to topple democracy with a weft of citrus. the shoe line is just as ridiculous and gold, but also the greatest con. they were sold out so many who forked over the $400 selling price got counterfeits instead. sad. then there is the god bless the usa bible which includes the constitution, making this two things donald has never read. when it comes to that mug shot, let the dollar bills flow. trump raised $7.1 million from his marks, i mean his supporters, after his georgia booking. for most people, racking up dozens of felony charges would be nothing to brag about, but for trumpet is a cash grab. remember those awful digital trading cards? now there is a special mug shot edition available that comes with a piece of trump's mugshots suit embedded in the card. now there is a new item as if a card wasn't enough. a two dollar bill emblazoned with trump's mugshots. behold the official advertisement. >> flanked by images of the flag and president trump's fa

a trump-appointed judge. the justice department making news late tonight as i was getting ready to come on air that they will appeal that ruling. we have more on that important case later tonight. as for senator j.d. vance, since jumping into senate politics he's banded himself a trump loyalist. so rerepresent vance is trump on poll is i and style. he auditioned as a fighter, traveled to attend the criminal trial, launched political attacks that go beyond what trump himself would sometimes say. and he has a conservative voting record for the brief time he's been in the senate. that, as i tell you as a factual matter, is recent vance. as a rookie senator he has far less of a record experience than most people on the national ticket. he's been a senator for two years. at 39 years old he is one of the youngest running mates. and this is a final where, again, we say this carefully, judiciously and respectfully, but this is a time where the death of a potential or current president as been discussed. frankly, abou

because her name is laura trump and she is married to donald trump's son eric.ly in charge of the republican party and that they are also putting the second ranked official on television for the big deal speech? >> yes. it is. it is very very weird, number one that this is now become a family enterprise for the republican national committee. number two, that you would have the cochair taking a prime time slot. typically party officials will speak at the beginning of the day at the 5:00 hour long before primetime and their roles are generally administrative. they don't have a clarion call they will send out to the gathered because they are organizing this. they are managing this. they are not there to give speeches as the chair and cochair in that regard. this is different because it is the daughter-in-law of the former president who is there for one purpose and one purpose only to make sure that trump enterprises is fully operationalized inside the rnc which is now no longer the rnc and either the maga party or the trump republican party but it's not the republi

trump doesn't — trump is, to be his vp.. but rachel is right, look, he's incapable of unifying people. he is— he's incapable of unifying people. he is the — he's incapable of unifying people. he is the most divisive figure in american — he is the most divisive figure in american politics — but we are living — american politics — but we are living in— american politics — but we are living in a _ american politics — but we are living in a populist moment, i know yolr're _ living in a populist moment, i know yolr're living — living in a populist moment, i know you're living in one over there, we are living — you're living in one over there, we are living in — you're living in one over there, we are living in one here in america — american — are living in one here in america — american voters are angry, they are angry— american voters are angry, they are angry at— american voters are angry, they are angry at the — american voters are angry, they are angry at the political system that's broken _ angry at the political system tha

in his prior campaigns, it was ivanka trump, jared kushner, melania trump that were trump's inner circle's a different troika this time. lara trump and her husband eric trump have emerged in the campaign as the most influential set inside the trump family. >> i think we can focus on donald trump jr. more than any of the other two, even though lara trump is co-chairman of the republican national committee. donald trump jr. has always been known as the real republican within the trump family. he was republican before anybody else was including his father, and he is a conservative populist. he's the one that pushed hard for senator j.d. vance to be selected as the running mate. he is decidedly not a reagan era republican and really comes to these positions authentically, whereas his father is much more transactional. but i really think the key difference in the trump campaign this time around in terms of, you know, donald trump is the same in many respects, but this operation is so disciplined and professional in a way that 2016 was not. i think 2020 was, but i think susie wiles and chris l

to see if trump's schedule or rally locations will give us an idea, last night in doral, florida, trump made several mentions of florida senator marco rubio. trump also spent more time talking about democrats hitting vice president kamala harris who he could faceoff against in november. >> radical left democrat party is divided in chaos and having a full-scale break down all because they can't decide which of their candidates is more unfit to be president. sleepy crooked joe biden or laughing kamala, if joe picked someone half way competent they would have bounced him from office years ago but they can't, she has got to be their second choice. reporter: trump campaign talking about the vice president today, fox learns that florida governor ron desantis will have a speaking role next week at g.o.p. convention. >> former u.n. ambassador nikki haley will not be at next week's convention, trump said he has bad blood with her after she stayed in the race for several months, for trump no rallies or stops today but he will be in pennsylvania saturday, not far from ohio border. larry: all right

trump.congressman molly jackson of texas. >> all right all right. good evening everybody. i served on active duty in the navy for 25 years. i was a navy deep-sea diver, and emergency medicine doctor and a combat physician in iraq. during that time, i also had the distinct privilege of serving for 14 years as white house physician. but most importantly, i served as the appointed position for the greatest president that this country has ever had, donald j. trump. and not only that but now i can say i've served a president who literally took a bullet for our country to the ear. president trump and i have been through a lot together over the years. but i have never ever been prouder of his leadership that i was last saturday. his warrior spirit and his display of wealth to keep fighting for our country even after getting shot down by a republican will go down as an all-time moment in american history. i know firsthand from my time at the white house that being a president is an unrelenting 20 47

well, trump likes winners.want to support ukraine in the war. to victory, to show that he is different from biden, that he is not afraid of various nuclear blackmails from the russian federation, that he can take down the russian federation, and china, north korea, and iran, just by helping ukraine win, he has all powers, and america has these and those weapons, and other options, unarmed, how to make it so that ukraine won. here, on the other hand. then he may want to resolve the issue quickly, reconcile with putin, freeze the conflict, but the question is, does he really want this, and will he succeed in it, and will he want to continue biden’s policy, so trump is absolutely not a predictable president, i absolutely agree with...the previous speaker, a lot will depend on his team and who will be the vice president, i understand who the previous speaker was talking about, most likely yes, so there is a very popular politician nikki haley who ran for the republican presidential nomination, she withdrew her cand

blame trumps. and it did trump. people mag have where and people, let me point out that a us sitting sen acore booker from new jersey. a few years ago when trump was president said on tv national television, my testosterone makes me want to punch him much more to punch donald trump. the joe biden has said on 2 occasions that he would like to have taken donald trump out behind the gym and beat the hell out of him. and there are other examples, but the media doesn't talk about it. the media doesn't say that's terrible, and this is the climate we live in. yeah, because the major media is essentially the foundation to all the empire of lies alex report a far as a canadian job and the space in china. joining us here for more discussion on this, alex great to get you want, but you know, you been saying it and we'd be and say get some things going to go pump before november, whether it's a southerly, integrated whole, well with russia or an assassination attempt on trump, or bite and folding down the stai

, trump, trump. when you're running on how evil your opponent is a not policies but evil your opponent is. then we come to a moment like this and joe biden had no choice to do this but joe biden's party that's divided for three weeks in the electoral map is contracting in a court consistence of the democratic party are shrinking in the unifying's party for the last however, many months. i'm very happy to hear because he says he's going to come in here and continue and i thought first lady melania trump statement was so wonderful at a time when people are questioning joe biden's motives of not allowing her husband to enjoy the other 60% of his presidency in delaware since he spent 40% of it there now. jill biden and she's not been calling practice tacos she's been calling donald trump evil and mega maga and hakeem jeff raines went on the interview and said mega maga, extreme maga republicans about 50 times in his talk about the people at the rallies innocent men and women who get made fun of. if i hea

first, donald trump. trump has to show that he's not going to end democracy, don't respond in a way that the suburban mothers wouldn't like, don't interrupt joe biden, don't take the bait, don't look like a bully, don't get angry, portray normalness, can't you just pretend to be normal? normal for 90 minutes, how is that advice for a presidential debate and not you would say to your parents when you bring home date for the first time? can you not talk about january 6th and please don't do your agent voice? i really like this girl, but that's trump. surely the expectations on president will be higher. he absolutely cannot have a senior moment, a physical or verbal stumble, him forgetting something, any of his kind of freeze. moments stay alert, to stay engaged and to stay awake. president biden has to show that he can stand there for an extended period of time, remain up right. remain up right to be president, be mistaken, but i believe those were the same qualifications needed to be scarecrow. tonight, th

trump!rter: while many attendees remain rattled, a boisterous roll call kicked off the republican national convention this afternoon, and settled nerves, cementing trump as a party's nominee for a third straight time. >> on behalf of the 125 delegates in the unbelievable state of florida, we hereby nominate every single one of them for the greatest president that's ever lived, and that's donald j. trump. >> reporter: trump also announced his running mate, naming first-term ohio senator j.d. vance a 39-year-old staunch trump ally who was once an outspoken trump critic, before embracing his policies to help secure a senate seat in 2022. for trump and republicans the good news seem to flow all day monday with cheers after judge aileen cannon made a stunning decision to dismiss the classified documents case against trump, ruling special counsel jack smith's appointment violated the constitution. top republicans say these development's coupled with the surge of goodwill for trump in the wake of t

i can't stomach trump. i think that he's noxious and is leading the white working class to a very dark place. >> reporter: but the senator says trump's performance in office proved him wrong. >> i was wrong and so many were wrong about donald trump back in 2015. >> reporter: he became one of the former president's most outspoken defenders and a close friend of his son, don jr. what are you hoping that he brings to this ticket? >> the same energy he's brought republicans and united states senate. >> reporter: over the weekend, hours after trump was targeted by a would-be assassin's bullet, vance taking to social media to blame president biden. saying, "the central premise of the biden campaign is that president donald trump is an authoritarian fascist who must be stopped at all costs. that rhetoric led directly to president trump's attempted assassination." and tonight, president biden with his reaction to vance's selection. >> he's a clone of trump on the issues. >> reporter: trump today making it clear he'
