1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: Day of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin today

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: and the Republican nominee Donald Trump will take to the

3
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,960
Speaker 1: stage to accept the party's nomination. It'll also be his

4
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 1: first speaking gig, his first speaking event since he was

5
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: shot in an assassination attempt just over a week ago.

6
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 1: The managing partner of fire House Strategies and Marco Rubio's

7
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:23,599
Speaker 1: former chief of staff, Matt Terrell, is with us. Matt,

8
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 1: thank you for being on the program. What are you

9
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 1: expecting from Trump's speech today?

10
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 2: I great to be with you. In terms of the

11
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 2: speech tonight, you know, look, I think the tone of

12
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 2: that speech will be one that's going to be talking

13
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 2: about unity. I think it's'd be a big theme that

14
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 2: we've seen, of course throughout this convention. I think will

15
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 2: be a big theme it's Tony's speech, and not just

16
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 2: unity for the Republican Party, but unity for the country.

17
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 2: And certainly I think you'll touch on the key issues

18
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,959
Speaker 2: that American stationwide are focused in on this election, including

19
00:00:55,640 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 2: the academy, inflation, immigration, and crime among other issues, of course,

20
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 2: but those will be the core issues you'll likely narrow

21
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 2: in on during this speech as well. So We'll see

22
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 2: what he does tonight during the speech, but I think

23
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 2: that's a part of what we'll see in the speech

24
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 2: this season.

25
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: Do you think he'll talk about Biden much? Do you

26
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: think you'll talk about the facties at home, you know,

27
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: on the bag ch house with COVID.

28
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 2: Well, certainly, elections are a referendum on the company in office,

29
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 2: and right now the company is as we help President

30
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 2: Joe Biden. And look, I think a big part of

31
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 2: this speech is going to be drawing contrast not just

32
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 2: between foreign President Trump and President Biden, but former President

33
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 2: Trump and Democratic policies. You know, given that there have

34
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 2: been reports and we're hearing for the reports coming out

35
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 2: this week about discussions around President Biden's candidacy and who

36
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 2: the Democrat nominee will or will not be for president.

37
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 2: Leave that to the Democrat Party to discuss. But you know,

38
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 2: the bottom line is, I think this speech is just

39
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 2: gonna be focused on President Biden, but also the Vice president,

40
00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 2: and then obviously on Democrat policies as well, drawing those contrasts.

41
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 2: This can be some pelty as well.

42
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: Yes, speaking of that policy, A lot of the talk

43
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: obviously is about America first, you know, protectionism, less king

44
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 1: on free trade deals, particularly as they result in job

45
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 1: losses in rustbuckets rot spelt states, what what's how worried

46
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 1: should a small trading nation like New Zealand be about

47
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 1: this America First strategy? Is it? Is it going to

48
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: have a big impact on the rest of us? Do

49
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: you think?

50
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 2: Well? Look, I'll let four persident Trump speak for himself

51
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 2: in terms of his policies, whether it's on domestic or

52
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 2: international issues. I can just tell you, you know, I

53
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 2: think many Americans will look at what he did over

54
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,239
Speaker 2: the past four years or excuse me, the four years

55
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 2: that he was president and essentially say, look, you know,

56
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 2: did did they like those four years of the four

57
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 2: president Trump era, whether it's on trade or other issues,

58
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 2: or do they not like it? And they're going to

59
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 2: comparent a trast that record to President Biden's four years

60
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 2: in office. So I think, you know, as voters unpack that,

61
00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 2: you know, I think they're going to look at, you know,

62
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 2: how they feel about it and say, you know, as

63
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,679
Speaker 2: we go over the next four years into the future,

64
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,519
Speaker 2: you know, now, what's in the best interest of the

65
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 2: United States And ultimately, obviously we live in at a

66
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 2: global society here. You know, what's good for the United

67
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:15,239
Speaker 2: States often is good in terms of international dynamics and

68
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 2: making sure we have give partnerships around the world as well.

69
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 2: So look, all of four, President Trump dive into his

70
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 2: policies and it takes shape here. Particulars I think you'll

71
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 2: see in this speech tonight, but certainly that's what that

72
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 2: Americas are focused on, and particularly relates to our economy.

73
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 2: You know, the economy, inflation. Those are vital issues right now,

74
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 2: top tier issues that voters are focused in on here.

75
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: All right, Matt, thanks very much for your time. That's
