1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: Day one of the Republican Convention. In the books, Donald

2
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:12,040
Speaker 1: Trump makes his first public appearance in see assassination attempt

3
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: and the first time we've seen a picture with JD.

4
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:19,119
Speaker 1: Vance standing next to the president as he is the

5
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:25,600
Speaker 1: vice presidential nominee. What we saw yesterday was I think

6
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: a little bit different Donald Trump. I think that's okay.

7
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 1: There have been a lot of people saying Donald Trump

8
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 1: looked different night one as he was standing there with

9
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 1: Make America Great underneath them Byron Donald's sitting to his

10
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: left if you're looking at the President, Tucker Carlson as well,

11
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: sitting to his left. To the right JD. Vance to

12
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: the right of him was the speaker Mike Johnson at

13
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: the convention. When Donald Trump made his way into the arena,

14
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: it was also a little bit different. It was not

15
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 1: as loud as you traditionally hear at a Trump rally.

16
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 1: It was a very somber but I also think serious

17
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 1: moment for Donald Trump. He understands, I think better than anybody,

18
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: as we saw his ear, his right ear bandaged, that

19
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: he is an individual who could easily have died. He

20
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: is someone whose life could have been taken from him

21
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: because of this would be assassin and he was shot.

22
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 1: I want to say, if you have ever been in

23
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 1: a shooting, you understand what I'm about to say. Many

24
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: of you know I've been in a shooting. I had

25
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: to use a gun to save my life and had

26
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: two different people pointing a gun at me, one put

27
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: to the side of my head. And I can tell

28
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: you that you are different after that, no matter how

29
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: much you don't want to be different. And what I

30
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: mean by that is your perspective changes. There's anger that

31
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: comes in afterwards. We saw instantly Donald Trump be angry

32
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: when he put his fist up and yelled fight. There's

33
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: then this realization that you could have died. There is

34
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 1: then a significant change and shift to concern that it

35
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: could happen again. I have a massive amount of compassion

36
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: for our men and women in uniform that have dealt

37
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 1: with PTSD. I didn't understand it till after my shooting,

38
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: and I cannot imagine what men and women that go

39
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: through that every single day in Afghanistan, Iraq or anywhere

40
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: else around the world where they're serving, what they dealt

41
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: with after nine to eleven, for example, when you're there

42
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: for a couple of years on multiple tours of duties,

43
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: and you're being shot at, and you're shooting, and you're

44
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: seeing your friends get blown up, and you're seeing your

45
00:02:55,720 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: friends get shot, and you're seeing that life can end

46
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 1: not at a time in or a moment of your choosing,

47
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: because of evil. Donald Trump seemed different. And I don't

48
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: think that's a bad thing. But I'm sure Donald Trump

49
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: is dealing with the fact that and this is that

50
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: they call it survivor's guilt for reason, Why am I

51
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: still alive? And why did an innocent man who was

52
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: just there to support me die? Why are there others

53
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: that are fighting and are going to have lifelong changes

54
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: in their recovery in the hospital still who were shot?

55
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: You think about that rally, and Donald Trump is going

56
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: to be thinking about that rally. It is going to

57
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: be on his mind because he knows that there was

58
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: a kind, loving father who saved his daughter and mother's

59
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: life and it cost him his own as he was

60
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: shielding them from the bullets. And I'm sure there's moments

61
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: where he's gonna be thinking, did I have to do

62
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: that rally? Should we have done it indoors? Should we

63
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: have done it differently? Should we have changed the way

64
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: we did things. That is what any person with a

65
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: soul is going to be thinking in that moment. And

66
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: not only is the president having to deal with that,

67
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: but then there's that concern of is it gonna happen again.

68
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: I think you also realize, and this has got to

69
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 1: be the hardest part for President Trump. There is a

70
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 1: confidence with a secret service around you. I've been inside

71
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: the bubble in my career several times, many times when

72
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: I was a saga on the Bush campaign, and I've

73
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 1: been on stage with the President. It's a different level

74
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: of Secret Service protection. They are when you're sitting duck

75
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: up there, but there was a feeling of invincibility that

76
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 1: made you just focus on what your job was because

77
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: you're like, I got them right, Like they're around us,

78
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 1: We're gonna be fine. I'm not thinking about snipers. I'm

79
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: not thinking about a lone wolf. I'm not thinking about

80
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: a shooter in the crowd. And you go up on

81
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: that stage and you do your job well. I mean,

82
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: you look at the president last night at the convention,

83
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: and I mean this, he is a little bit different

84
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: and that's okay, but I wanted to paint that picture

85
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,479
Speaker 1: so you understand because while all of this is going on,

86
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 1: and when I was involved in my shooting, I think

87
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:28,799
Speaker 1: the most frustrating part for me afterwards was the fact

88
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: that I couldn't control my heart rate when I would

89
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 1: be doing things like pumping gas and a car would

90
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 1: pull up on the other side of that gas pump

91
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: and I couldn't see that person, and there's that concern,

92
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 1: is that person about to come around the corner and

93
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 1: pull a gun on me, or shoot at me, or

94
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: try to rob me or car jack me. And it

95
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: wasn't because paranoid. It was a involuntary thing that would happen.

96
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 1: It took months and months for that to go away

97
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: until I felt quote normal again. I the way that

98
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is dealing with this publicly is unbelievable. But

99
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: I also want to make it clear we need to

100
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: make sure we pray for this man. We need to

101
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 1: pray for him and his recovery. One tenth of an

102
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 1: inch that bullet moves, he doesn't move his head, and

103
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 1: those are the things he's thinking about. To look at

104
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: that prompter again for the statistics, and he would not

105
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:34,039
Speaker 1: be with us. And while you're having to deal with

106
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: all that and look there's also the fallout that comes

107
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: after this with your family. Everybody wants to talk about

108
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: this shooting that sees you. Everybody's walking up to you

109
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 1: giving you a hug, which is sincere, and saying we're

110
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 1: so glad you're alive. But you keep hearing that's a

111
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 1: different narrative. It's no longer hey, thank you for fighting

112
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: for our country. God bless America. It's now we're so

113
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,720
Speaker 1: thankful you're alive. That is a different conversation he will

114
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 1: have with every single per and that he comes into

115
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: contact with in Milwaukee this week, and it will be

116
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: the same thing that has said to him for weeks.

117
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: And I would argue through election day that narrative is

118
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: not gonna change. But that's a different conversation. I'm glad

119
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: you're alive. I'm glad you're okay, I'm glad you're alive.

120
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: Continues to go back to it to remind him that

121
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: someone tried to kill him. That's a lot to deal

122
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: with for any person. If there's anybody that can deal

123
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: with it, it's Donald Trump. He clearly is. But then

124
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: I want you to think about what's happened since then,

125
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: that the bubble around you and the Secret Service, the

126
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: protection that you used to have that made you feel

127
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: confident to be able to go up on that stage.

128
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: That is gone right now. I don't care what anybody

129
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: says in the back of his head, he's like they

130
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: didn't get the last one. They could screw it up again.

131
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: That's going to change your demeanor a little bit. And

132
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: then you've got to do everything else you're doing right now,

133
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: right go to a convention, run a convention, pick a

134
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: vice presidential candidate. JD Vance, by the way, put out

135
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: an amazing simple tweet. It said, just overwhelmed with gratitude.

136
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: What an honor it is to run alongside President Donald J. Trump.

137
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: He delivered peace and prosperity once and with your help,

138
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: will do it again. Onward to victory. A very very

139
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: very very very simple. Okay, a very simple tweet there,

140
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: a very important tweet. I'm going to get more of this,

141
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: but first let me tell you about my friends over

142
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: at Patriot Mobile. For more than ten years now, Patriot

143
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:35,719
Speaker 1: Mobile has been America's only conservative, Christian wireless provider. And

144
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: that should matter to you because if you're with Big Mobile,

145
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 1: you're giving big donations to the Democratic Party. Candidates, causes

146
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: and organizations are supporting the radical left, including major donations

147
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: to Plan Parenthood. That is why Patriot Mobiles started more

148
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: than a decade ago by a group of conservatives that

149
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: were sick and tired of giving their money to companies

150
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: that were fighting against their family value use. Now, switching

151
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: your cell phone has never been easier in twenty twenty four.

152
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: I just did one recently, and I did it all

153
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 1: over the phone. I got to keep my same cell

154
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: phone number. I got to keep my same phone. You

155
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: can do that or upgrade to a new phone, but

156
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: it's done all over the phone. And you may say, well,

157
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: I'm just worried about coverage. I'm happy with that I have. Well,

158
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,959
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four, everybody or everybody is using the

159
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: same towers. Now you're going to have the same coverage

160
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: that you're used to without supporting the radical lefts agenda.

161
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: And then there's the big perk. Every month, Patriot Mobile

162
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: takes about five percent of your bill at no additional

163
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: costs to you, and they give it back to conservative

Speaker 1: causes and organizations that fight for free speech, religious freedom,

165
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: the sanctity of life, the Second Amendment, as well as

00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: our military, our veterans, and our first responder heroes. They're

174
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: He also tweeted out on the fourteenth, two days ago,

175
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: this dude is just built different and posted the true

176
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: social post by Donald Trump that said quote, based on

177
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 1: yesterday's terrible events, I was going to delay my trip

178
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: to Wisconsin the Republican National Convention by two days, but

179
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: have decided that I cannot allow a quote shooter or

180
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: potential assassin to force change the scheduling or anything else. Therefore,

181
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: I will be leaving for Milwaukee's schedule at three point

182
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: thirty pm today. Thank you, Donald J. Trump, and jd

183
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: Vance wrote this dude is just built different. He absolutely is.

184
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: He is built different. I want to shift for a

185
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: moment the converation from what I just described with Donald

186
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 1: Trump personally, and I just still think it's incredible what

187
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: this guy's doing right now. He's built differently. I want

188
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: to talk about Day two theme at the Republican Convention.

189
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: The Day two theme is make America Safe Again. That

190
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 1: means so many different things, by the way. Right now,

191
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 1: it means that we have to focus on the border crisis.

192
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: We've got to focus on crime in this country. And

193
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: I think there's going to be a lot of praise

194
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 1: for Trump for his resilience after this assassination attempt. Day

195
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: two at the Convention has a different meaning than when

196
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 1: they announced last week what the themes of each day

197
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 1: were going to be. No one was thinking that it

198
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: was going to revolve or they would have to include

199
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: the possibility of an assassination as part of the make

200
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 1: America Safe Again theme. It was gonna be about crime,

201
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 1: it was gonna be about the border, it was gonna

202
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 1: be about now security, and now it's about the idea

203
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: that there are people that are trying to kill Donald Trump.

204
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: The Republican National Convention is focusing Day two with a

205
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:22,319
Speaker 1: crowded list of events and speakers touching on a broad

206
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: range with immigration and crime is going to be featured

207
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: in the most prominent way, and Democrats will not do

208
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: this at their convention. I do think this is also

209
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: a moment where you compare and contrast the two. You look, now,

210
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 1: Trump is formerly the GOP nominee. It's official. That happened

211
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: day one. You've got his VP candidate, that's official. Jd Vance.

212
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: He's there shaking hands with Tucker Carlson Byron Donald's members

213
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: of his family, Don Junior, who looked proudly at their father,

214
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: their friend who nearly lost his life two days ago,

215
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: Like that's big. There are other attendees that are there

216
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 1: that I'm sure are like, Okay, we gotta admit it. Now,

217
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: this guy's built differently. What do I mean by that?

218
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, He was booed when he

219
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: made his appearance. I understand why people feel like he's

220
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: not done enough. McConnell, by the way, who blamed Trump

221
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: for January sixth riot in February twenty twenty one, stating

222
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: the former president was practically and morally responsible for provoking

223
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 1: the events of that day. And you want to know

224
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: why the guy got booed. McConnell booed at the convention.

225
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: I am glad that he got booed at the convention.

226
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: I think it stands. I'm glad he got booed because

227
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: it's proof that people love Trump and can't stand the

228
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 1: bureaucrats that run Washington. There is a very clear divide

229
00:13:57,840 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 1: in our party right now. You're either with the Mitch

230
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: mcaon Donald's of the world that cow down to the Democrats,

231
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: don't hold them accountable, allowed them to use law fair

232
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 1: to get rid of their candidates and have gotten us

233
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 1: to the point where we had this assassination attempt. Or

234
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:15,079
Speaker 1: you're on the side with Donald Trump and hardcore conservatives

235
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: that understand that there is evil in the world. AP

236
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: put it this way, hosts of speakers will applaud the

237
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: former president's strength and resilience after the shooting at isrally

238
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania day two, and will remind the country that

239
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: safety and security are a major, major issue. Nicky Hayley, right,

240
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: we're being told is going to be a part of this.

241
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: I'm fine with that. Let's go. I don't think she's

242
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: going to get some massive welcome. By the way, want

243
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: to make that very very clear as well. Let's talk

244
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: real quick about the pick that Donald Trump came up

245
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: with JD. Vance and the reaction and why so many

246
00:14:56,280 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: are excited about JD. Van's Eric Trump in Milwaukee on

247
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: Fox and Friends talking about Vance, the assassination attempt on

248
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: his father, and the campaign moving forward.

249
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 2: I know you haven't been out and about so far,

250
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 2: but the Democrats this morning have unveiled sixteen billboards and

251
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 2: one mobile billboard attacking the Trump Advance ticket on abortion

252
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 2: and on tax breaks for billionaires in their words, and

253
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 2: they're referring to it as the Trump Vance Project twenty

254
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 2: twenty five project.

255
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 3: I can only imagine what Kamala is thinking this morning,

256
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 3: because you have a guy who's brilliant Yale Law school,

257
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 3: you know, marine incredibly successful business guy. You know, somebody's

258
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 3: who's gone into politics and kind of taking it by storm,

259
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 3: and a guy who will go into oncoming fire. And

260
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 3: there's almost a bad pun to use this morning, but

261
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 3: every single time he'll go on every single network, no

262
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 3: matter how hostile they are, and just prosecute the case.

263
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 3: And you know what's really interesting to see is the

264
00:15:55,400 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 3: chemistry be'stween my father and Advance. He's they like being

265
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 3: around each other. They work good together. You know, you

266
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 3: just you feel a natural warmth between the two, and

267
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 3: I think when you're sitting in the White House together,

268
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 3: that's that's incredibly important.

269
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: Are you pushing for one of them? Because we know

270
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: Don Junior likes.

271
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 4: Him a lot.

272
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 3: Listen, I like him at the same time, I like

273
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 3: the other people that were being considered, and I like

274
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 3: a lot of the people that were being considered before that.

275
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 3: And you know, I always saw my father go with

276
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 3: your gut. You know, my opinion doesn't necessarily matter. And listen,

277
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 3: Advance would be my age. You were very close in age,

278
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 3: and he'd definitely be my agem graphigant guy I could

279
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 3: be great friends with and everything else. But you know,

280
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 3: you have to have that chemistry with people. All the

281
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 3: people that made the finalists were incredibly confident people. They

282
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 3: could do a great job. But you've got to have

283
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 3: that warmth, You've got to have that connection. You've got

284
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 3: to be willing to stand next to that person every

285
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 3: single day in the trenches for a long period of time,

286
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 3: and you know he's going to be excellent.

287
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: You watch it here. Here's what you said last night

288
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 1: to Sean about his background.

289
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 5: Can't run on the issue of is the world more

290
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 5: peaceful than it was four years ago. Room when Donald

291
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 5: Trump left office, You've had real growing peace movements all

292
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 5: over the world. The Abraham Accords that showed a real

293
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 5: promise of uniting the Israelis with some of the Suiti

294
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 5: Arab states.

295
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 1: There was no war in Europe.

296
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 5: Asia looked like it was under pretty good control. And

297
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 5: three years later, it seems like we have a conflict

298
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 5: in every corner of the world, and Americans are poorer. Sean,

299
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 5: you know a little about my background. I grew up

300
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,879
Speaker 5: in a poor family. I remember when my grandmother, who

301
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 5: raised me, she used to negotiate with the meals on

302
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 5: wheels people to give her additional food so that.

303
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:30,679
Speaker 4: She could feed me.

304
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 5: How does a family like that deal with Joe Biden's

305
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 5: grocery price inflation? How does a family like that deal

306
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 5: with gasoline and energy price inflation. It's gotten more expensive

307
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 5: just to live a good life in this country. Donald

308
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 5: Trump and I want to make that better, and we

309
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:49,640
Speaker 5: have policies to make it better. Democrats have lies and distortions,

310
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 5: and again, I don't think the American people are going

311
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 5: to reward that.

312
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 6: So I guess the big question is, what do you

313
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 6: think was you know, talk to your dad, liked them all.

314
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,400
Speaker 6: What do you think was the final thing that he

315
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 6: heard that really said, this is why I'm going to

316
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 6: select this guy again.

317
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 3: I think great energy, and I mean necessarily when you

318
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 3: see him go on to CNA and he's getting ruthlessly

319
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,120
Speaker 3: attacked by seven people and he's just kind of dismantling them.

320
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:17,400
Speaker 3: I certainly that you know the policies and he's he's

321
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 3: been just fantastic, and he does have an amazing story

322
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 3: to tell, right from all sides. Great in business, you know,

323
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 3: became very kind of successful, great in the political world,

324
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 3: you know, military background. I mean, it's somebody who can

325
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 3: carry the torch for a very long time.

326
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,439
Speaker 6: And that's his story, not his parents' story.

327
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: This is actually his story. He's lived the American dream.

328
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 1: Nikki Hayley, she's good. I love by the way, how

329
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 1: he said he's going to be able to carry the

330
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: torch for a very long time. And I think that

331
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:51,919
Speaker 1: is something that's so important now, more important now than

332
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 1: ever before, is that you pick your vice president to

333
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,640
Speaker 1: be someone that if something happens to you, they can

334
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:03,919
Speaker 1: pick up the torch in like this is this is

335
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 1: why we have a vice President, and now the reality

336
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 1: of that, I think, unfortunately I said in now more

337
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 1: than ever before. I also think there was something else

338
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: cool that happened that I that I want you to

339
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 1: hear because it's just awesome.

340
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 7: JD.

341
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:27,959
Speaker 1: Vance was on Hannity from the convention, and this is

342
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 1: the Donald Trump that I know. Donald Trump. During the

343
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 1: VP call, Trump heard Vance's son seven in the background,

344
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:42,479
Speaker 1: and I love this because it just shows the human

345
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,120
Speaker 1: nature of the President of the United States of America.

346
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 7: UH.

347
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: And the Senator was like, you want to know what

348
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,479
Speaker 1: it's like when you're on the phone with Trump. And

349
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 1: this is the story that I've I've told it. I

350
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: think I've told it to you guys before, and if

351
00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: I haven't, I'll make it quick. But it's a it's

352
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: a great story. My wife and I we ended up

353
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: doing in vitro UH for our children. We we tried

354
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 1: for years and and couldn't have kids, and we had

355
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 1: to move on to the to thank goodness, the medical

356
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: miracle which is in vitro fertilization IVF. And the President

357
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 1: was told, this is while he was the president, that

358
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 1: we were going to have twins. And I got a

359
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:26,959
Speaker 1: phone call from the White House, and when you get

360
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:28,360
Speaker 1: a phone call from the White House, it usually comes

361
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 1: up to zero two with no other numbers on your phone.

362
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 1: And I knew this from my time when I was

363
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 1: in the in the you know, working with the Bush administration.

364
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: And so it came up and I answered, and it

365
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 1: was someone that I knew that said, hey, the President

366
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 1: would like to talk to you. Can you take the call?

367
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: And I was like, of course, like all right, well,

368
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 1: you know we're gonna call you in just a minute,

369
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: I think, is how if I remember correctly, I was

370
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 1: like sure, And then sure enough, a few minutes later,

371
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 1: Donald Trump calls and it's the phone and in classic

384
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: Worst case scenario, you're a billionaire mogul. Best case scenario

Speaker 1: it's presidential. And I'm dying laughing cause it's like and

Speaker 1: day they're born to the day they die, and the

414
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 1: legacy afterwards. We look, we got to talk about these names.

00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 1: do middle names? For probably five to six minutes it was,

422
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 1: and I'm just sitting there sitting back dying laughing because

423
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 1: it's just so funny. And I wish I would have

424
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 1: had my phone, but she obviously had to take picture

425
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 1: of this moment. And I don't have that, but I

426
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 1: have the memory. And that is exactly what Donald Trump

427
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 1: is like he was and then and then he turned

428
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 1: very sincere. He's like, look, I just want to say

429
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 1: I'm so excited for you guys. And he was like,

430
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 1: I'll be praying for your children's health, your health anna,

431

Speaker 1: And as soon as they were born, I got a

434
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 1: phone call while we were still at the hospital of

435
00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 1: him saying congratulations about the kids. And and when I

436
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 1: was in the Oval for his final say the Union,

437
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 1: I was asked to come up and meet with him

438
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: in the Oval the day before this final stay of

439
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: the Union. And he immediately at the end, he grabbed me.

440
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:14,919
Speaker 1: He's like a right, He's like, let's let's go get

441
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:19,199
Speaker 1: some swag. And he signed a hat for both of

442
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,640
Speaker 1: my sons. And he knew that my young my oldest

443
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: was you know, he was young young at the time,

444

Speaker 1: grabs some prov ones the presidential seal and signed that

446

Speaker 1: and the other two hats for my other two sons.

458
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 1: And that's just who Donald Trump is. And and I

459
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,400
Speaker 1: go back to that part of the story to tell you,

460
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 1: you know, during this VP call, Trump heard Vance's son

461
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,640
Speaker 1: seven years old in the background and made a very

462
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:14,800

464
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 1: about Donald Trump in the moment that he got the

465
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 1: phone call from Donald Trump offering him the VP job. Now,

466
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 1: this was either going to be a good call or

467
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 1: a really bad call. Right, you're just sitting there, you're waiting,

468
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,439
Speaker 1: and I want you to hear just how kind Donald

Speaker 1: gonna hear about who JD. Vance is and the lefts

00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,120
Speaker 7: Hillbilly Elegy is the Republican Vice.

477
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:06,440
Speaker 8: President Joe nominee JD Event Sir, how are you, good man?

478
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 8: How are you seeing?

479
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 7: I'm sure you've had a very slow day today.

480
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right. Nothing happened pretty boring.

481
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,400
Speaker 8: Nothing that happen pretty pretty more today, let's talk about

482
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 8: the process. Sure, a lot of questions were you obviously, Uh,

483
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 8: what was it like? Because the last couple of days,

484
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 8: well it's down to two el and Senator Rubio?

485
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:25,119
Speaker 7: What was that like for you?

486
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 4: You know, I just tried to enjoy the ride.

487
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:28,239
Speaker 9: What an honor to be considered if it had been

488
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 9: sent or Ruby? Obviously, Marcus a good guy's good friend.

489
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 9: So I try to just have a good attitude about it. Yeah,

490
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,679
Speaker 9: my family's very excited, obviously, asking a lot of questions

491
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 9: I will say, Sean, I hope I'm not betraying too

492
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 9: many confidences here. But when the president called me today,

493
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,639
Speaker 9: it actually formally offered me to become, you know, the

494
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:47,399
Speaker 9: vice president's nominee, which just sounds crazy. My son, my

495
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 9: seven year old son, was sort of making noise in

496
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 9: the background.

497
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 4: You know, I'm getting so embarrassed. It's like, oh my god,

498
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 4: Donald Trump's asking me to.

499
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 8: Be his vice So the phone rings, he calls you,

500
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,879
Speaker 8: and you're like, Okay, this is the call, or maybe

501
00:26:57,880 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 8: not the.

502
00:26:58,160 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 5: Call, or maybe it's a bad call. Right, it's the

503
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 5: who knows whether it's good or bad. But then he

504
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 5: actually has me put my seven year old son on

505
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 5: the phone. If you think about this, everything that's happened.

506
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 5: The guy just got shot at a couple of days ago,

507
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 5: and he takes the time to talk to my seven

508
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 5: year old.

509
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 4: It's a moment I'll never forget, all right, And what.

510
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:17,879
Speaker 8: Did he actually say, you know, he.

511
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,479
Speaker 5: Just said, Look, I think I'm gonna go save this country.

512
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 5: I think you're the guy who can help me in

513
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:24,959
Speaker 5: the best way. You can help me govern, you can

514
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 5: help me win, you can help me in some of

515
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 5: these Midwestern states like Pennsylvania, Michigan.

516
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 4: And so forth.

517
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 5: And he said rightfully that we have been very, very

518
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:36,120
Speaker 5: close for a long time, but especially since I endorsed

519
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 5: you in twenty twenty two, and I would not have

520
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 5: won that race without Donald Trump's endorsement and the President's

521
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 5: trust then in his partnership since then has been something

522
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 5: I value a great deal.

523
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 8: Let me let me ask you. You know, this happens

524
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 8: all the time. You get announced and incoming begins.

525
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 4: Let's go over some of it, please, and.

526
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 8: Not questions you haven't heard before, new would be asked.

527
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 8: All of them are fairly predictable, but I think Americans

528
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 8: want the answers.

529
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 4: Sure.

530
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 8: Let me go back to, for example, after you know

531
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 8: he announced this the media, I'm starting to read every

532
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 8: article right yeah, and criticizing you that you know, here's

533
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 8: a guy. This came out of Ohio. His support for

534
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 8: a national abortion band and his twisted belief that women

535
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 8: should stay in violent marriages for the benefit of their

536
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 8: children exemplifies his dangerous extreme extremism. He's not just wrong

537
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 8: for Ohio, he's wrong for the country. I actually saw

538
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:34,400
Speaker 8: those articles this weekend and I said, why would I wait?

539
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 7: I wanted to know the answer.

540
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 8: I called you, Yeah, how do you address that?

541
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 9: Well?

542
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 5: Look, so on, first of all, Democrats have completely twisted

543
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 5: my words here, and as you know, both me and

544
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 5: my mom actually were victims of domestic violence. The way

545
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 5: they say that, you know, Dvance has supported women staying

546
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 5: in violent marriages. I think it's shameful for them to

547
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 5: take a guy with my history and my background and

548
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 5: say that that's what I believe.

549
00:28:58,200 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 4: It's not what I believe.

550
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 5: It's not what I say, And I think, Sean, it's

551
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 5: evidence of the democrats complete inability.

552
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 4: To talk about the future.

553
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 5: What are Republicans running on delivering the peace and prosperity

554
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 5: that Donald Trump already delivered in his four years. What

555
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 5: are Democrats running on lies and complete distortions of people's records.

556
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 4: That is something I think the American people want to reject.

557
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 4: They're too smart for it. You know.

558
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 8: I said on January second, when the year started, I said,

559
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 8: let me tell you what this year is going to

560
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 8: be like. And I try to give a perspective to

561
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 8: my audience. It's not my first rodeo, that's right, ad,

562
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 8: And I said, the Democrats are going to try to

563
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 8: make this election about.

564
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 7: Quote democracy, in peril.

565
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 8: How often have we heard that meanwhile, they might want

566
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 8: to disenfranchise every primary voter that they had, and they

567
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 8: wanted to get Donald Trump off the ticket in some states.

568
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 8: Another example, it'd be about January sixth, it would be

569
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:53,239
Speaker 8: about abortion, and we hate Donald Trump exactly right. Can

570
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 8: they run on the issue is the country better off

571
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 8: that it was four years ago?

572
00:29:58,040 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 4: Of course they can't, Sean, they can't run on that

573
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 4: at all. And they can't run on the issue.

574
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 5: Of is the world more peaceful than it was four

575
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 5: years ago? Remember when Donald Trump left office, you had

576
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 5: real growing peace movements all over the world, the Abraham

577
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 5: Accords that showed a real promise of uniting the Israelis

578
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 5: with some of the Sudi Arab states. There was no

579
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 5: war in Europe. Asia looked like it was under pretty

580
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 5: good control. And three years later, it seems like we

581
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 5: have a conflict in every corner of the world, and

582
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 5: Americans are poorer. Sean, you know a little about my background.

583
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:30,719
Speaker 5: I grew up in a poor family. I remember when

584
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 5: my grandmother, who raised me, she used to negotiate with

585
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 5: the meals on wheels people to give her additional food

586
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 5: so that she could feed me, how does a family

587
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 5: like that deal with Joe Biden's grocery price inflation? How

588
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 5: does a family like that deal with gasoline and energy

589
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 5: price inflation? It's gotten more expensive just to live a

590
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 5: good life in this country. Donald Trump and I want

591
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 5: to make that better, and we have policies to make

592
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 5: it better. Democrats have lies and distortions, and again, I

593
00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 5: don't think the American people are going to reward.

594
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 7: That opportunity to talk to Donald Trump.

595
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 8: And I knew this question would come up, actually for

596
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 8: almost every person that was under consideration, and that was

597
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,719
Speaker 8: past comments that you had made about him, and when

598
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 8: I'll tell you after what his response was, But you

599
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 8: weren't didn't have the nicest things to say about him

600
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 8: back in twenty sixteen, which seems like a long time ago.

601
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 8: Now you know that you literally said, you texted a

602
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 8: friend that Trump is a cynical ahole like Nixon, who

603
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 8: wouldn't be that bad and might even prove useful, and

604
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:34,479
Speaker 8: that he's America's hitler, and you compared him to a

605
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:36,959
Speaker 8: cultural heroine in the Atlantic Monthly.

606
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 7: And I'll tell you Trump's response. But you said that,

607
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 7: then what do you say to people that say well,

608
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 7: wait a minute, what did he mean.

609
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 4: Well, so I don't hide from that.

610
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 5: I was certainly skeptical of Donald Trump in twenty sixteen.

611
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 5: But President Trump was a great president, and he changed

612
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 5: my mind. I think he changed the minds of a

613
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 5: lot of Americans because again he delivered that peace and prosperity.

614
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 4: If you go back to what I thought.

615
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 5: In twenty sixteen, another thing that was going on, Sean

616
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 5: is I bought.

617
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 4: Into the media's lies and distortions.

618
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 5: I bought into this idea that somehow he was going

619
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 5: to be so different, a terrible threat to democracy.

620
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 7: It was a joke.

621
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 4: Joe Biden is the one who's trying to throw his

622
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 4: political opposition in jail.

623
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 5: Joe Biden is the one who's trying to undermine American

624
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,719
Speaker 5: law and order. President Trump did a really good job,

625
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 5: and I actually think it's a good thing.

626
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 4: When you see somebody you were wrong about him, You

627
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 4: ought to admit the mistake and admit that you were wrong.

628
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 8: When I brought it up to him, he said, I

629
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 8: can't wait for this, Okay. When I brought it up

630
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 8: to him, he said, yeah, he goes, But he doesn't

631
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 8: think that way, now, does he. So he actually had

632
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 8: a very good sense of humor about it. I also

633
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 8: says a lot about him and he understands. Were you

634
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 8: as political back then?

635
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 4: Not really, Sean. I mean, you know, my book came

636
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 4: out in twenty sixteen, he'll bili elogy. It's really the

637
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 4: sort of the story.

638
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 5: Of growing up in poverty, achieving the American dream, starting

639
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 5: out in business.

640
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 4: And I really didn't care that much about politics. I

641
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 4: certainly had views.

642
00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 5: I was a Republican, but I was not as nearly

643
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 5: as involved obviously as I am today. And again because

644
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 5: something that really changed for me, and I think for

645
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 5: a lot of Americans is we saw the results of

646
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 5: the Trump presidency compared to the obsessive, deranged media reaction.

647
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 4: In twenty nineteen and twenty twenty, Like, what's going on?

648
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 4: What's so bad about this guy?

649
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 5: That he's delivered rising wages for American workers and peace

650
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 5: in the world.

651
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 4: Why is the media so obsessed with him?

652
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 5: I think a lot of Americans actually have had a

653
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 5: similar wakening over the last few years because you compare

654
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 5: the results with the reaction, and clearly the people with

655
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 5: the reaction of the problem that's not President Trump's problem.

656
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 8: You know, a lot of people forget too back in

657
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 8: the first debate, I believe it was. And Kamala Harris

658
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 8: was on the stage with Joe Biden at the time,

659
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 8: and she said, I was that girl. If you remember

660
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 8: that moment, it was a very hard hitting moment. What

661
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 8: she was referring to is the fact that Joe Biden

662
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 8: had partnered with a former klansman and tried to stop

663
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 8: the integration of public schools. Joe Biden's words, he didn't

664
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 8: want those schools to become racial Jungles.

665
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 5: Seun Ilamila Harris basically said, Joe Biden wouldn't want a

666
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 5: little black girl like me to live in her neighborhood.

667
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 5: He also powered around with clansmen. She said this months

668
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 5: before she joined his ticket. Sean, I said some bad

669
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 5: things about Donald Trump ten years ago. But I think

670
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 5: it's actually important to be able again to admit that

671
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 5: you're wrong. And if we can make a good pick

672
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 5: case of the American people, people who may have been

673
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 5: skeptical of the president back in twenty sixteen, who can

674
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 5: be skeptical now that we've seen the results.

675
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 7: All right, let's talk about a little bit.

676
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,399
Speaker 8: And I think these are important times in a consequential time.

677
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 7: Sure, and we see what's happening with the border.

678
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 8: For example, I think it's now become the number one

679
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:35,280
Speaker 8: national security threat.

680
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 4: Oh absolutely.

681
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:39,360
Speaker 8: And we have nearly eleven million unvetted Joe Biden illegal

682
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 8: immigrants in this country.

683
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 7: What should we do with them?

684
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 4: Well, so we have to deport people.

685
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 5: We have to deport people who broke our laws who

686
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:47,920
Speaker 5: came in here, and I think we start with the

687
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:48,840
Speaker 5: violent criminals.

688
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 4: And President Trump has.

689
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 5: Been very very effective at communicating on this so to

690
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 5: the point where now a majority of Americans believe that

691
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 5: we needed to port a large number of people who've

692
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 5: come here illegally. That's a major political victory for him,

693
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 5: and I think it's going to lead to a policy

694
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 5: victory for the American people. But John, we have to

695
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 5: talk about the fentanyl problem because this is something that

696
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 5: I know extremely personally, and we have close to one

697
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,439
Speaker 5: hundred thousand Americans dying of drug over nurses every single year.

698
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 5: Most of us is brought in by Mexican drug cartels

699
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:19,800
Speaker 5: manufacturing in China, been brought in by these cartels. To

700
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 5: get a little personal, you know, my mom started with

701
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 5: addiction for a big chunk on my early life.

702
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 4: That's why my grandmother, who I call Mamma, raised me.

703
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:29,840
Speaker 5: But the coolest thing, maybe the greatest blessing of my life,

704
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,280
Speaker 5: is that my mom is about to celebrate ten years sober,

705
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 5: and she is able to celebrate ten years sober, frankly

706
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,719
Speaker 5: because the poison that's coming across the border now wasn't

707
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:40,240
Speaker 5: coming across in such large.

708
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 4: Numbers fifteen years ago.

709
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:44,759
Speaker 5: We are depriving Americans of a second chance with their

710
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 5: loved ones. You cannot keep on doing this. You're orphaning

711
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:52,799
Speaker 5: an entire generation in kids. Go to Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Seawan.

712
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 5: You have thousands of grandparents raising grandchildren that they weren't

713
00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 5: expecting to raise because of the poison.

714
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 4: Joe Biden come across the border.

715
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 5: President Trump is the guy to stop this, and if

716
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 5: we don't stop it, we're in generation young kids.

717
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,400
Speaker 8: You know, when I saw you in Atlanta, I said,

718
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:13,320
Speaker 8: I felt a little embarrassed because one of the few Americans,

719
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:16,840
Speaker 8: because most people knew Hillbilly elog. It was a massive

720
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:21,840
Speaker 8: bestseller that became a movie, and I didn't. I literally

721
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 8: read at least a book a day researching. I know

722
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 8: you do radio and television and so I decided I

723
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 8: watched the movie, and when I saw you, I did

724
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:35,760
Speaker 8: ask you, is this really what your life was, Appalachia.

725
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 7: And this is the history of your life, Appalachia.

726
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,839
Speaker 8: You become a marine and by the way, your mom

727
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 8: was a drug addict and an alcoholic. Your father not

728
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 8: exactly the greatest father in the world, and you grew

729
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 8: up poor and you had an amazing grandmother that came

730
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 8: out of your life too, right. But then you joined

731
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:55,360
Speaker 8: the Marines, you served in Iraq, You came out of school,

732
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 8: you went to Ohio State, you went to Yale, You

733
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 8: prospered at Yale. Then you went on to be successful

734
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,400
Speaker 8: in business, which, by the way, democrats are criticizing you

735
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 8: for they wish you fell by you guess when they

736
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 8: wrote that, considering where you came from.

737
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 7: It's the American dream. And then you know, you got

738
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,279
Speaker 7: into politics and you did so successfully.

739
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:20,840
Speaker 8: A pretty amazing story to give us some texture and

740
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 8: context to that life that.

741
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 7: I mean, that's a tough life you had.

742
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:27,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, Sawan, it was tough in a lot of ways,

743
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:28,880
Speaker 5: but blessed in a lot of ways. And I think

744
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 5: you got to sort of accept the good with the bad.

745
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 9: I wouldn't see the world the same way that I

746
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 9: see it without that experience that I really do see

747
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 9: it as a blessing. The grandmother who raised me was

748
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 9: such an amazing person. I mean, she was a woman

749
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:41,280
Speaker 9: of deep Christian faith.

750
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 5: She cursed like a sailor. I mean, she had a

751
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 5: mouth that would really make a Marine Corps rill.

752
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 4: Instruct her blush.

753
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 5: But she was so loving and so disciplined, and I

754
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:51,879
Speaker 5: really think that all the opportunities that I've had come

755
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 5: directly from her. She also believed in this country and

756
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:58,920
Speaker 5: recognized that most people to Washington do not care about

757
00:37:58,920 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 5: people like her.

758
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 4: And I talk about.

759
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 5: Generations of grandparents raising generations of grandchildren. That's exactly what

760
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 5: I think about, because I remember that my mamma, she

761
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 5: couldn't afford her Medicaid payments, She couldn't afford the.

762
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 4: Prescription drugs that she needed.

763
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 5: She sometimes couldn't even afford food for both me and her.

764
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:18,840
Speaker 5: Those are the people who suffer when we have the

765
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 5: policies that we've had over the last three and a

766
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 5: half years, And those are the people who stand to

767
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 5: benefit the most from President Trump.

768
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 4: Round two.

769
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:27,720
Speaker 8: Let me go back to the scene and you referred

770
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:31,280
Speaker 8: to it earlier meals on wheels. Yeah, and she would

771
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 8: negotiate an extra something because you had nothing else nothing.

772
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 5: Well, we sometimes we struggled, but sometimes strown. We didn't

773
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:42,879
Speaker 5: have anything, and she would negotiate to get a little

774
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 5: bit of extra so that she could share with me

775
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 5: and also have enough for herself.

776
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 4: Look, sometimes tough work.

777
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 5: Sometimes times were heart right, and you know, but I

778
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 5: look back on that and I think to myself, when

779
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 5: I go and talk to people, when I serve people

780
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:57,400
Speaker 5: as a United States Senator from the state of Ohio,

781
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 5: I go and visit a food bank, I actually understand

782
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 5: a little bit what people are going through. And so, yeah,

783
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 5: it was tough when I was dealing with it, but

784
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:06,399
Speaker 5: now I really do think it's a blessing because it's

785
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:08,319
Speaker 5: given me a perspective a lot of politicians don't have.

786
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 8: Let's talk about what you believe the role of a

787
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:12,239
Speaker 8: vice president should be.

788
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 4: Sure, Well, look, Sean, I think it's very simple. Number One.

789
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:18,800
Speaker 5: You need to support the president in enacting the agenda,

790
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:21,440
Speaker 5: whether it's going and meeting with foreign leaders, whether it's

791
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 5: working with the Senate and the House to get legislation passed.

792
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 5: The president can't be everywhere, even Donald Trump can't be everywhere.

793
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:29,920
Speaker 5: So you've got to be a person he can trust,

794
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 5: he can rely on to actually advance the agenda. That's

795
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:36,320
Speaker 5: the most important job. Of course, if something God forbid happens,

796
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:38,320
Speaker 5: you got to be ready to step into that office.

797
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:40,720
Speaker 5: That's one of the most important roles the vice president.

798
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 5: But I think Donald Trump very healthy, going to serve

799
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:45,839
Speaker 5: a four very good years. But we've got to have

800
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 5: Republicans who are helping him with the agenda. You remember

801
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:51,319
Speaker 5: this as well as anybody, Sean. As successful as he

802
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:55,240
Speaker 5: was politically, even after he was elected, certain Republicans didn't

803
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:58,880
Speaker 5: want to actually enact the America First agenda.

804
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:01,920
Speaker 4: You've got to have leaders in Washington who are supporting him,

805
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:02,839
Speaker 4: not fighting against him.

806
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 8: Let's talk about an occasion where you might disagree with him.

807
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:08,880
Speaker 7: Sure, how do you view your role in terms of

808
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:09,800
Speaker 7: handling that moment.

809
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:11,240
Speaker 4: That's very simple, Sean.

810
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 5: I think that you owe it to the president to

811
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 5: be honest with him if you don't think that he's

812
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 5: doing the right thing. If you disagree with him, but

813
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,920
Speaker 5: you do it in private. You offer your counsel in private.

814
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 5: Because a lot of the vultures in the press, they

815
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:24,239
Speaker 5: will blow up every public So.

816
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 8: You've met my colleagues right here. I call him state

817
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 8: run media.

818
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:30,720
Speaker 4: No, they absolutely are are state run media.

819
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:33,720
Speaker 5: In fact, they're so state run that even after President

820
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 5: Trump was shot and he showed a remarkable amount of

821
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:40,920
Speaker 5: unity and defiance and calmness.

822
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:44,400
Speaker 4: They blamed him for the rhetoric, even though he was

823
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 4: the victim of a near assassination.

824
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 5: It's crazy, but I think it's really important that you

825
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:54,279
Speaker 5: don't have Republicans who blow up disagreements so that they

826
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 5: can win points with the media who are never going

827
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 5: to treat Republicans fairly. The job is to help the

828
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 5: nact the agenda.

829
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:02,480
Speaker 4: And why does that matter? Because that's what's going to

830
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:03,439
Speaker 4: make people's lives better.

831
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,320
Speaker 1: Let me say this also about JD. Vance real quick,

832
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 1: just to put it in perspective. I think how incredible

833
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:13,719
Speaker 1: this pick is. You look at his history, you look

834
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:17,240
Speaker 1: at his background, you listen to and talk about his upbringing.

835
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:22,719
Speaker 1: He's going to remember so many Americans that keep getting forgotten.

836
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 1: He is going to remember those that are struggling. You know,

837
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:31,759
Speaker 1: in this country there has been this kind of a

838
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 1: I guess you could say obsession, and it is an

839
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:42,440
Speaker 1: obsession that only Democrats can care for those that are poor,

840
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:45,920
Speaker 1: because they have convinced poor people that they're the only

841
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:48,280
Speaker 1: ones that are there for them. And the only reason

842
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 1: why that's the case. Okay, the only reason why that's

843
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:58,800
Speaker 1: the case is because they keep people addicted to poverty

844
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 1: because of government. A Hey, come vote for me and

845
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:03,239
Speaker 1: I'll give you some food. Here's your pentance from the

846
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:05,560
Speaker 1: US government. Right, keep voting for me. The other guys

847
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:08,560
Speaker 1: don't want you to want to give you food stamps

848
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 1: or you know, utility assistance or housing credits, whatever it

849
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 1: may be, public housing. Now, we want you to not

850
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:19,880
Speaker 1: live a life literally in the below poverty. That's the

851
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:22,359
Speaker 1: difference between conservative liberals. Liberals want to keep you there

852
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:23,840
Speaker 1: for your whole life, so they own you like a

853
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:27,320
Speaker 1: modern day slave, so that you will always vote for them. Okay,

854
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 1: that is the part that people don't understand. Okay, that

855
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:37,719
Speaker 1: is the part that people do not get. And I

856
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 1: think that's really really important. I think it's a really

857
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 1: important point that needs to be made. And I think

858
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:50,279
Speaker 1: this is where JD can be a great candidate for

859
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:53,799
Speaker 1: the president, to go out there and to tell people like, hey,

860
00:42:55,400 --> 00:43:02,959
Speaker 1: I understand Hey, I get it. Hey, I comprehend what's

861
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 1: going on here. I understand how hard it is to survive.

862
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:12,280
Speaker 1: I've been there, I've done that. Look at my life,

863
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 1: Look at my grandmother that raised me, look at my mom.

864
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:19,279
Speaker 1: He can understand those that deal with addiction. And I

865
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:21,799
Speaker 1: do believe that's going to be incredibly important for the

866
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:24,359
Speaker 1: American people. He has a lot of compassion for people

867
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:26,440
Speaker 1: that are struggling. I think this is going to be

868
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:30,000
Speaker 1: very important for this campaign. I think it's gonna be

869
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 1: incredibly important for Donald Trump to have someone out there

870
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:35,919
Speaker 1: that can walk out there and say, I've been where

871
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:39,279
Speaker 1: you are right now, and we want to get you

872
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:41,279
Speaker 1: out of this. We don't want to keep you in it.

873
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 1: I want you to be able to succeed, not live

874
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:47,080
Speaker 1: in poverty. And that is your legacy for your entire life.

875
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:49,360
Speaker 1: Because the Democrats never want to get you out of poverty.

876
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:51,080
Speaker 1: They want to keep you there so you're dependent on them,

877
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 1: so you will vote for them, and they own you

878
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:57,239
Speaker 1: like a modern day slave, Make no mistake about it.

879
00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:00,960
Speaker 1: That's what this is about. That's why I think the

880
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 1: President picked him, and I think he's a great pick

881
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 1: for him. Make sure you share this podcast with your
