1
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: This is Newton.

2
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 2: I'm going to report on the third night of the convention,

3
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 2: which was really very interesting, particularly for Calyistenbie. So I'm

4
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 2: going to start with horror events. We each made a

5
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:21,280
Speaker 2: speech on Wednesday night. Clistas was on religious liberty and

6
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 2: mine was on national security, and I thought you might

7
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 2: find it interesting, so I thought before I get into

8
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 2: all the other things.

9
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 1: And it was a.

10
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 2: Very lively, amazing evening, which I think you're going to

11
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 2: find fascinating. But let me first share with you first

12
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 2: Callista's speech on religious liberty and then my speech on

13
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 2: national security.

14
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 3: Tonight, we look toward a writer, safer, and more prosperous

15
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 3: future with Donald J. Trump as our next President of

16
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 3: the United States. When I served as President Trump's ambassador

17
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 3: to the Vatican, I witness thus the importance of having

18
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 3: a president who stands up for religious freedom. Over the

19
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 3: last four years, the failed policies of the Biden administration

20
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 3: have jeopardized our right to worship freely and weakened our nation.

21
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 3: Freedom of religion is one of our nation's most important

22
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 3: foundational principles. Throughout our history, the right to practice our

23
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 3: faith has been at the heart of the American experience today,

24
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 3: this fundamental right is under attack. In recent years, the

25
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 3: radical policies, rules, and regulations imposed by our own government

26
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 3: have threatened people of faith. However, we have reason to

27
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 3: hope in our lifetime. No president has done more to

28
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 3: advance and defend religious freedom them President Donald Trump. During

29
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 3: his term, President Trump defended the rights of doctors, nurses,

30
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 3: and teachers to act in accordance with their conscience. He

31
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 3: appointed three Supreme Court justices committed to protecting our god

32
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 3: given right to worship. He expanded school choice and defended

33
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,959
Speaker 3: the First Amendment freedom of every student to practice their

34
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 3: faith in public schools. As President, Donald Trump signed an

35
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 3: executive order that defined international religious freedom as a moral

36
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 3: and national security imperative, and he was the first and

37
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 3: only president to convene a meeting at the United Nations

38
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 3: dedicated to ending religious persecution and defending religious liberty around

39
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 3: the world. Tragically, many of President Trump's policies have been

40
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 3: replaced by the Biden administration's anti faith agenda that uses

41
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 3: the power of the government to impose its far left

42
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 3: ideology on religious believers. Biden's FBI has even stated that

43
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 3: practicing Catholics present an elevated risk of domestic terrorism simply

44
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 3: because of their faith. Unlike President Biden, President Trump has

45
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 3: a proven track record for promoting and protecting religious freedom

46
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 3: at home and abroad. Our choice is clear. We need

47
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 3: strong leadership, bold action, and unwavering commitment to preserve our

48
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 3: God given rights. I am confident that President Trump will

49
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 3: continue to fight for our founding principles and beliefs when

50
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 3: he becomes the forty seventh President of the United States.

51
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 2: You know, President Trump understands that the world is dangerous,

52
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 2: and then it takes an enormous effort to defeat anti

53
00:04:55,120 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 2: American and anti freedom forces around the world. He also

54
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 2: understands that, when faced with multiple adversaries across the globe,

55
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 2: the Reagan principle of peace through strength is the only

56
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 2: road for safety for the America and the American people.

57
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 2: The contrast between President Tromp's realistic policy of resolute strength

58
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 2: in a dangerous world and President Biden's policies of appeasement, weakness,

59
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:41,359
Speaker 2: and self delusion may be the biggest difference between the

60
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:45,679
Speaker 2: Make America Great Again movement and the make America Weak

61
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 2: ideology of the left. We have to remember that the

62
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 2: greatest threat to American safety is not Biden's brain.

63
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: The greatest threat is Biden's.

64
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 2: Policies and the people he points to implement them. He

65
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 2: is working towards appeasement when the world today is incredibly dangerous.

66
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 2: A growing coalition of dictatorships is actively trying to undermine

67
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 2: American power and conquer America's allies. A religious dictatorship in Iran,

68
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 2: which chanced death to America, is on the verge of

69
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 2: having nuclear weapons. Russia's dictator has unleashed the deadliest European

70
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 2: war since World War Two. Communist China continues to develop

71
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 2: its military power while actively seeking to undermine America through espionage, fentanyl,

72
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 2: and the infiltration of our companies and our universities. Faced

73
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 2: with these clear and present dangers, President Biden has adopted

74
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 2: failed policy after failed policy. Where President Trump orchestrated an

75
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:09,679
Speaker 2: orderly end of the Afghanistan War with no American killed

76
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 2: in nearly two years, Biden ordered a chaotic, panic filled

77
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 2: withdrawal that left thirteen American troops and hundreds of Afghans dead.

78
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 2: Where President Trump insisted on keeping Bagram Air Base, which

79
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 2: is located within one hour of the Chinese nuclear facilities.

80
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: President Biden gave it.

81
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 2: To the Taliban, who are now allied with communist China,

82
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 2: where President Trump brokeer the Abraham Accords and was moving

83
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 2: the Middle East short peace and cooperation.

84
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: President Biden's weakness.

85
00:07:55,960 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 2: And confusion led to a terrible Hamas assault, killing more

86
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 2: than twelve hundred innocent people in Israel. Under Trump, we

87
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 2: achieve peace through strength. Under Biden, we have war, suffering death,

88
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,239
Speaker 2: and a world teetering on the edge of World War three.

89
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 2: Like Prime Minister Winston Churchill and President Abraham Lincoln, President

90
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 2: Trump understands that only a firm, courageous policy of strength

91
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 2: will work in a dangerous world.

92
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: The message for this November is clear. You can vote for.

93
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 2: Weakness and war with Biden, or you can vote for

94
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 2: strength and peace with President Trump. Let's dedicate ourselves to

95
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 2: making America safe, strong, and proud again with President Trump.

96
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 1: Thank you very much.

97
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 2: Well, I hope you found those two speeches interesting. We've

98
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 2: certainly gotten very good response to them. And immediately after

99
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 2: Callista spoke, Peter Navarro, the advisor to the President, college

100
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 2: professor economists, came out and was wildly received because literally

101
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 2: he had gotten out of federal prison in Miami that

102
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 2: morning and was showing up at the convention to speak

103
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 2: that evening, and virtually everybody in the room regarded him

104
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,839
Speaker 2: as a political prisoner. There was no reason for him

105
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 2: to have been put in jail. He had showed great courage,

106
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 2: and he and his girlfriend both came out. He talked

107
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,719
Speaker 2: about the experience and basically said, look, I did this

108
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 2: because I want to make the case that none of

109
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 2: you should ever have the kind of prosecution that I had.

110
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 2: People were very enthusiastic about Peter. I think he certainly

111
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 2: earned a significant sense of being a great warrior in

112
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 2: the Trump system because he he stood up for his rights.

113
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 2: He refused to bow down. He was willing to spend

114
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 2: four months in jail rather than doing what they wanted.

115
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 2: That was followed by a lovely couple who closely got

116
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 2: to know in the green room. They were, I'm guessing

117
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 2: in their late seventies. They own a ranch in Arizona

118
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 2: right on the border. They routinely every day have hundreds

119
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 2: of illegal immigrants come through, and their testimony was very

120
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 2: powerful about the cost of Biden's terrible open border policy

121
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 2: and the threat they personally feeled. They were really very,

122
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:54,319
Speaker 2: very effective we also had a ninety four year old

123
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 2: World War Two vetspeak. He was very articulate, talked about Normandy,

124
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 2: talked about his experiences in Europe, and he was charming.

125
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 2: He just had the right kind of personality. He obviously

126
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 2: loved being at a national convention. It was beyond anything

127
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,719
Speaker 2: he'd ever expected. He was very effective and reminding us

128
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 2: that patriotism is so important and then being willing to

129
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 2: fight and if necessary die for your country is a

130
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 2: key to a survival. So that again was a very powerful,

131
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 2: very emotional moment, and it was followed by the gold

132
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 2: Star Parents. As you know, there were thirteen young Americans killed,

133
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 2: and Biden's disastrous collapse in Afghanistan. Biden recently said in

134
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 2: the debate with Trump that no one had died on

135
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 2: his watch, total complete lie. These parents were so powerful.

136
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 2: If you haven't seen it, I really urge you to

137
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 2: go to c SPAN and pull up the section of

138
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 2: their testimony because it is so just devastating about Biden's callousness,

139
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 2: his dishonesty, his lack of interest. Has apparently never publicly

140
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 2: mentioned the name of a single one of the thirteen

141
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 2: young Americans who died serving their country. He has refused

142
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 2: to meet with and talk with the parents, and it

143
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 2: was one of the most emotional moments of the whole

144
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 2: evening because they just were so compelling and so convincing,

145
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:25,319
Speaker 2: and you couldn't believe just how bad their experience had been,

146
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,319
Speaker 2: having lost in many cases their son and their daughter.

147
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 2: I think that was one of the most powerful things

148
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 2: I'd ever seen at a national convention, and I certainly recommend,

149
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 2: very strongly that you should watch the gold Star Parents.

150
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 2: We also had a very compelling presentation by the husband

151
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:48,319
Speaker 2: and wife whose son is still a hostage in Gaza

152
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 2: an American and I have to say this was probably

153
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 2: the most pro Israel and pro Jewish and against anti

154
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 2: Semitism of any convention.

155
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: I've been to nine inventions now.

156
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 2: And clearly people are coming together, they're solidifying, they're understanding

157
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 2: what the issues are. They realize that the attack on

158
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 2: Israel is indirectly an attack on America and certainly attack

159
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 2: on Western civilization. These parents were just very compelling and

160
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 2: telling the story of their son who has been held

161
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 2: in captive now I think for two hundred and eighty

162
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 2: eight days, and it's just as tragic then on a

163
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 2: much lighter side. Ki Trump, Don Junior's oldest daughter, had

164
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 2: decided she wanted to talk about her grandfather. She was charming,

165
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:38,559
Speaker 2: very personable, quite in control of herself, and was one

166
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 2: of the high points just as a watching sort of

167
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 2: a star is born as this bright young lady talked

168
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 2: about her grandfather, of course, a big golfer, and she's

169
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,719
Speaker 2: apparently a very good golfer that he'll call her and

170
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 2: start talking about golf and she'll say, Grandpa, I have

171
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 2: to go to school now, but i'll call you back later.

172
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 2: And it was just really nice, and it was part

173
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 2: of a serious effort which also have been taken up

174
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 2: by Laura Trump the night before, to communicate the human

175
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,079
Speaker 2: side of Trump, the degree to which when you see

176
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 2: him as a father and as a grandfather, it's a

177
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 2: very different kind of experience. One of the things I

178
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 2: noticed about the convention, and I think it was a

179
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 2: function just to sheer adrenaline. The convention would suddenly break

180
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 2: into chance. And I ask Lindsay Larkin, who is an

181
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 2: interim of this this summer, to go through and listen

182
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 2: to the whole convention and pull up the chance. So

183
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 2: here are the things that are being chanted Usa, USA, USA, Newt, Newt.

184
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 2: We got this, we got this, We got this. Fight

185
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 2: fight fight Texas, Texas, Texas strong again, strong again, strong again.

186
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 2: Build that wall, Build that wall, Build that wall. Send

187
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 2: them back, Send them back, Send them back. Droll Baby Drill,

188
00:14:54,360 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 2: Drill Baby Drew, Droll Baby Drew Trump Trump, Trump, Never forget, forget,

189
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 2: never forget. Joe must go, Joe must go, Joe must go.

190
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 2: Bring them home, Bring them home, Bring them home. Corey, Corey, Corey,

191
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 2: referring to Corey COMPARATOI, who was killed in Butler when

192
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 2: President Trump was wounded. JD JD JD, which was during

193
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 2: Don Junior's speech talking about JD Vance. Let's go blue,

194
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 2: Let's go blue. This was very funny. JD. Vans of

195
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 2: course went to the Ohio state, and so the Ohioans

196
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 2: began talking about the Ohio state, at which point the

197
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 2: Michiganers began yelling, let's go blue, Let's go blue, Let's

198
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 2: go blue. It is the oldest continuous college football competition.

199
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 2: It was pretty funny to watch. It was all spontaneous.

200
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 2: They chanted, yes we are, Yes, we are, Yes, we

201
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 2: are This was about JD.

202
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: Vance.

203
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 2: Then JD introduced his mother, who had now been cleaned

204
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 2: for ten years after a tragic lifetime of addiction. She

205
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 2: was there, and the crowd broke spontaneously into JD's mom,

206
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 2: JD's mom, JD's mom, And then finally JD. Vance talked

207
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 2: about his grandmother, who was the person who raised him

208
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 2: during the period when his mother was suffering from drug addiction,

209
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 2: that he had always called her mamma, and so the

210
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 2: crowd started chanting, Mamma, mamma, mamma. Now, I have been

211
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 2: to nine conventions. I have never seen a convention break

212
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 2: into more than two or three or four chants. They

213
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 2: got nineteen different chants in last night, and I thought

214
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 2: it was fascinating, And I think it tells you something

215
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 2: about the sheer level of adrenaline that's underway, that people

216
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 2: are so excited and so thrilled. President Trump now has

217
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 2: been to every single night of the convention. He walks

218
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 2: in calm, lead people applauding and everything. He sits in

219
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 2: the presidential box and close And I had the opportunity

220
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 2: last night to sit in the box two rows behind

221
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 2: him to watch everything that was going on. He comes

222
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 2: in and sits in a box, chats with people, they

223
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 2: rotate people about every fifteen minutes, so he can see

224
00:16:57,800 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 2: a pretty good number of people while he's sitting there,

225
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 2: very calm, doesn't make a speech, doesn't get deeply involved,

226
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 2: but watches the convention. I mean, this is a convention

227
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 2: he designed. It's a convention he believes in. He's a

228
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 2: great showman coming out of his years with The Apprentice

229
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 2: and with Miss Universe, and he likes these things. He

230
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 2: was there in a way paying attention away that I

231
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 2: don't remember any presidential candidate with this kind of personal involvement.

232
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 2: He didn't have to be the center of anything. He

233
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 2: was very happy listening and watching and seeing how things unfolded.

234
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 2: And then of course the evening really culminated with JD.

235
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 2: Vans's acceptance speech. I must say I thought it was

236
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 2: brilliantly done. It started with the introduction by his wife,

237
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,120
Speaker 2: who was Indian American and a lawyer in her own right,

238
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 2: very smart. They met at Yale. It communicated the human

239
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 2: side of him at the same time that it was

240
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:54,479
Speaker 2: communicating key public policy positions. And I thought overall he

241
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 2: was very effective and coming across as somebody who you'd

242
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,919
Speaker 2: be very comfortable having a beer with or talking with

243
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,919
Speaker 2: or having as your vice president. So I think he

244
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 2: and Trump are off to a pretty good start, and

245
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,400
Speaker 2: I thought it was a very successful evening. Next we're

246
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 2: going to go to this evening, of course, with the

247
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,879
Speaker 2: big finale sect. Chair of State Pompeo's going to speak,

248
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 2: and of course the last great moment will be President

249
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,439
Speaker 2: Donald J. Trump, and I think that it will be wild.

250
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 2: I predict the minute they mentioned his name, people are

251
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,679
Speaker 2: going to go crazy for at least five minutes. The

252
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 2: demonstration will be so big he won't be able to speak.

253
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,199
Speaker 2: But we'll see, and I will certainly report on all

254
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 2: this tomorrow
