to put on its primetime show after their presidential nominee, he pulled off a big surprise with the 11th hour reveal of his running mate, senator jd vance of ohio. vance making his debut as trump's vp pick just a short time ago on the convention floor for his formal nomination. and welcome to all to this special edition of outfront. i'm erin burnett along with wolf blitzer and his post over overlooking the convention floor and wolf, it's been only two days since president trump's survived that terrifying assassination attempt. and but he did not go late to the convention. he made it clear it must go on and it is going on. erin big time. we saw the gop officially hand. donald trump his historic third presidential nomination and now they're getting ready to drive home. his agenda leading off with the issue then uppermost in the minds of many voters of course, the u.s. economy headlines speakers tonight include one of trump's most loyal allies of the u.s. senate. and in the african-american community, tim scott of south carolina,

virginia governor glenn youngkin, a very popular figure in this state that shaping up to be a battleground in the 2024 presidential race would talk to me about virginia. meanwhile, the south dakota governor kristi noem, a very prominent voice in the maga movement, will be speaking as well in coming up soon, senator katie britt of alabama, who gained notoriety she delivered the republican response to president biden's state of the union address earlier this year, erin, back to you. >> all right. well, let's go straight to kaitlan collins on the convention floor and it kaitlan, you've been talking to republicans there through the day. what are you learning about donald trump's thinking at this moment? >> well, it's notable, erin, when obviously i picked, did finally come down that it was ohio senator jd vance because what i have been hearing from sources and also from lawmakers here on the floor trump was still wage of the violence that he had in his mind as of this

morning, all three of those finalists traveled, to go walking, not knowing that they were actually going to be to pick whether or not they weren't senator marco rubio, governor doug burgum, and senator vance mole came here still waiting to find out at jd vance actually finding out about 20 minutes toward trump posted on truth social that he was indeed his selection, obviously, a full circle moment for the senator from ohio, given his harsh criticism of trump back in the day which he has later said he's changed his mind on. >> but i should note that over the last 24 hours, what trump was doing in these conversations was weighing the pros and cons of what they would bring in his ticket, what would mean for him? chances in november? i'm told that you became erin so focused on this last 24 hours that he was kind of brushing off questions about his health and instead saying, what do you think of this person for bibi should i pick them? what do you do? like, what does that look like? he was getting calls from rupert murdoch, elon musk, essentially, everyone under the sun who had an opinion and about who they would like to see on that ticket with that. but of course, we saw senator

vance over here. i'm on the delegation florida could see florida is right behind me. we've got pennsylvania and wisconsin delegations right here to must-win states for donald trump come november, a lot of action is going to happen on this floor. we are told a lot of the speeches that you're going to hear had been rewritten since what happened on saturday night, namely the ones on the main stage. so keep an eye out for that. and what has been changed in the light of that attempted assassination of the former president, aaron. >> all right. kaitlan. thank you very much. so now, let's go down towards the podium. that's where boris sanchez is, right? now. boris, this is obviously going to be a significant evening. so tell us what you're learning and where you are right now erin, we're just off to the side of the stage and it is quite loud. >> the ground was shaking from the speaker's. you outlined some of the prominent republicans over going to hear from tonight, ai senators ron johnson, tim god, katie britt, we're also going to hear from some celebrity entertainers. there's a country singer, chris janson, because perform a

couple of songs, including one about buying a boat. we're also going to see a supermodel turn rapper amber rose kanye west ex-girlfriend is set to give a speech at the rnc, not something you'd likely would have how on your bingo card for 2024 rnc notably, republicans are not counting on those big names go to sell their message. the message tonight, the theme of the evening is make america wealthy again and there touting everyday americans who are set to take the stage. they have a slew of speakers including a single mom of tune from arizona, who's having a hard time. to make ends meet. he's working two jobs. aside from that, do you have a peruvian immigrant mom who's also talked about inflation? and lastly, you have a long time a lifelong democratic easter he's switching parties in this election to vote for. this has been on a policies of donald trump and then hanging over all of those speakers. the big question will we see the former president for the first? time, his first major public appearance attempted

assassination over the weekend. erin. >> it's going to be a crucial question, obviously the last convention, the big in-person when he appeared all four days, kristen holmes, what are you learning? >> well, this is the big question, right? whether or not he is actually going to appear, but we are told by aides and advisers that he is eager to get onto the convention floor that he wants to be interacting with supporters who wants to be interacting with allies, aides, advisors after that failed assassination attempt. on saturday. and i've talked to a number of people who have spoken to him can who say that they've seen a new kind of resolve and determination. in the former president ahead of november 1 of his big focuses has been on this message of unity. now, we don't know if that's going to hold. but one thing you heard kaitlan collins mentioning there on the floor is the fact that so many people have been rewriting their speeches. one of those people who has then rewriting their speech, former president donald trump as well all right kristen right now, let's just listen in here to michael watley, hipaa, chairman of the

republican national committee beginning this first convention night in prime time to give the invocation, please welcome. >> must reverend jerome less decky catholic archbishop of milwaukee and let us pray lord we thank you for our nation our founding fathers held these truths self-evident that all are created equal, endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights including life liberty and the pursuit of happiness for 248 years, we have sustained this vision to guard, the, dignity of every life from conception to natural

death to protect their liberty especially to speak freely and to worship view and to support their pursuit of happiness through this life. to the next we pray that you assist our elected officials and candidates always to protect our freedoms to preserve our democracy, and to govern fairly grant them the wisdom every day to place the good of our nation above personal interests, and two, cherish our union teach us all to respect justice and our equality before the law lord protect our military teach us gratitude that we may never forget their selfless sacrifice and protect. also our first responders police, firefighters, and ems and ties for their bravery to gibbs, us

peace there is a sacrifice at all americans make to participate in the political process we asked you to receive his servant corey compen today array and we pray for those who were injured demonstrating their commitment to our democratic process. let us offer a moment of silence. in the words of george washington almighty god. keep the united states of america in the holy protection and in incline the hearts of the citizens to a brotherly affection. and love for one another through jesus christ, our lord ami please

rise for the presentation of colors the colors are presented by the hartford police department honor guard let's give them a warm welcome wow. wow wow wow wow wow. well laughed wow detail order, arms ready. cut please remain

standing for the pledge of allegiance and the national anthem right shoulder, arms resigns arms if you will, follow me i pledge allegiance to the flag of the united states of america and to the republic for which it stands. >> one nation under god indivisible with liberty and justice for all to perform the

national anthem, please welcome the great lakes adult and teen challenge choir ell

he pledge of allegiance presentation of colors, jonah, all with the somber reality of, of course, what happened on saturday night. yeah. i mean, this is i the beginning of conventions, is please reach is almost always wholesome. and does this kind of thing. well, and to do it in the wake of an assassination attempt makes all hello more sense. so i mean, there no fireworks here. i think we might get fireworks later, but this is this is the patriotic bunting that you would expect it to be getting. i love conventions. i think people come from all over the country who really care about politics. they're making their points known. there building connections between each other that will matter when it comes time to campaign pain for the rest of the fall. i think there's a great time for people to come together and around the things they believe in and get to be around people who also believe in similar

things. >> and that is, there is that, that moment, right? where everybody and you're and you're putting on a show for obviously for their own party but also here for everybody to see you all again, i think this is an opportunity for conservatives to showcase vinny i think a deep interrogation, an examination of what makes conservative philosophy and policies work. it's about the preservation of aesthetics culturally. it's about free market ideas it's about a prioritizing the individual and families. and not prioritize and others outside of the country, which i think most conservatives would argue is the liberal position and so this is an incredible opportunity. aaron, i would argue for the american people to not only look at so many different republicans from all over the country, you see african-americans, they're hispanic american bins there is showcases representation of who we are today, but also for americans who are concerned about where we're headed, about the division. and so i think that assassination attempt on the former president's life completely

redirects what people will see this week, the test will be marjorie taylor greene, if she can be disciplined, i think it's important not to taylor greene is speaking tonight. >> yes. i think it's not it's important not to take for granted that this is even happening. first of all, clip donald trump is well enough that we can be sitting here speculating whether he'll be on stage rather than the very different way this could have turned out following saturday, but also remember we haven't had a convention since 2016. we had these this ritual of our democracy was canceled because of the covid, pandemic four years ago. so it's kind of nice to be back experiencing something like this. >> and the older i get, the more than rituals seem to matter, right? he didn't mean because if we didn't have them, we would invent them because we actually we learned this in 20, 2020 as you're just talking about christian, when we did he didn't have it. i think we missed it. we wanted to come together and figure out how we were going to move forward in the election. it's also been 16 years since the gop is nominated. somebody other than donald trump? >> that's which is an incredible thing about, yeah in

terms of who we're going to hear from and we're going to be taking many of these alive over the night so that everyone at home can be a part of this as well. >> you're going to see rising stars in the republican party, wesley hunt from texas is going to be one of those jamal, marjorie taylor greene though, is going to speak katie britt, who of course have given the rebuttal as we all remember from state of the union, tim scott is tonight. glenn youngkin, governor of virginia, as tonight and also some voices in the economic community, some of whom have been very loud. david sacks anyone who follows social media knows is just going to be sort of a broad grouping of people tonight. so some of whom are among the more strident voices in the party. >> absolutely. some of them are the vice presidential also-rans, right? the kristi noem and the glenn youngkin's, they would imagine then the one thing when you talk to people who are doing research and polling out in america, like kyrsten, some of her colleagues is the person who's most identify with maga other than donald trump as marjorie taylor greene. she's one of a few people that americans know by

name. the rest of us do these other names. they know marjorie taylor greene and she's not very popular at least with people who are in our side and who might be winnable for joe biden, but she has a crucial position tonight. she is one of the first name. she's going to be speaking this hour. >> yeah. marjorie taylor greene and she's gotta be torn between the devil and her shoulder in the devil on her other shoulder, i mean, in so far as her whole shtick is to be a bomb thrower to raise small-dollar donations. >> that's she's she's one of the biggest fundraisers from small-dollar donations. and at the same time, part of her brand is being intensely loyal to donald trump the word is apparently come out from the trump campaign to downplay the crazy, to downplay the violent rhetoric. and it'd be very interesting to see if she can follow orders. all right. well, we will all be there for that. as i said, she'll be among the first here speaking later this hour and coming up, we'll also be speaking with eric trump is

his father officially receives the republican nomination. you're watching cnn's live coverage of the republican national convention. >> michael whatley if you work in spaceflight, this is the worst thing that can happen space shuttle columbia, the final flight. >> now streaming on max ms bathrobe. >> so musty new fast acting drop in tab attracts and traps, et cetera. >> moisture eliminating musty odor you have chronic kidney disease. >> you can reduce the risk of kidney failure with parsi -iga because there are places you'd like to be for secret can cause serious side effects, including ketoacidosis that may be fatal dehydration, urinary tract, or genital yeast infections and low blood sugar. a rare life-threatening bacterial infection in the skin of the perineum could occur stopped taking four sica and call your doctor right away if you have

don't think jd vance is perfect. those two men think like they like each other. au, they won't take to country in the same direction. i think there'll be great, great team, maybe the perfect team you know, your home state of south carolina. we were joking before this. people seem to have figured out it's a pretty good place to hang out. you had to very high-profile politicians who ran against the former president, one of whom tim scott was considered in the running. are you disappointed that it won't be senator scott is speaking tonight? >> tim scott, who's terrific. i've known him since i was party chairman and 95 and he was running for county council at large and in charleston county. and we got behind him a lot of people got behind him ahead. faith in him and he's lived up to everything we expected he is a terrific man. he would have been a terrific vice president. is well, he's a great senator and there's a lot of mileage live in tim scott and we are happy that he's gone stay in politics, i hope for a

long time, it certainly play a significant role real quick before i let you go in the wake of the assassination attempt, what is the feeling here on the ground in milwaukee? >> people, that people think that that was a miracle. it was something that must have been an answer to prayers. people probably, in president trump's safety, but there is no jobs. these people all over the country are beyond anything. anything so far, it is it has made a total package president trump for those who had doubts about him, when they saw the way he handled that and he saw in the way that people responded to that. so his straight and i think he is, he is he is his face is the picture of strength in america. right now. and these people in this room and all over the country would do anything for that man. who we believe in him, we think he is the exact right man for so these times, perfect governor henry mcmaster.

>> appreciate your time tonight, sir. thank you very much. wolf back to you. >> phil. thank you very much. let's get some analysis of what's going on right now. history unfolding right here in milwaukee. david chalian, what do you expect to hear from the various speakers? at this republican convention tonight? specifically the message that they will deliver and the tone well, i think the message is going to be very economic focus at they're doing a different slice each night of the convention so tonight is going to be make america wealthy once again. what the branding people put on this, but but you're going to hear the economic argument. quite frankly, which has been the argument that you've heard donald trump making on the campaign trail throughout the entirety of this campaign, that prices are too high. and again, prices have come down. i understand where the statistics are in that, but we also see in a lot of the research on in conversations with voters, you here people still

>> caitlin college. you see here at the republican convention with a special guest yeah. >> well, thank you. i am here just above the convention floor. >> i'm sitting here with eric trump. >> of course, donald trump, son who was down there earlier as his father clenched the nomination formally and was put over the top with a number of delegates. >> thank you for being here. first, we just talk about the last 48 hours because it's been pretty remarkable. well, 48 hours for your family. when you

talk to your dad about what happened on saturday night that attempted assassination, what does he told you about what those moments were like? >> what's this terrible? i sat there my two children, my i watched the whole thing happening. i can obviously recognize a sounded gunshots and you hear them coming across you know, the tv screens and it's, it's horrifying, right? he had blood coming out as area at blood on his face he was on the ground. you didn't know where else he had possibly been hit obviously was a huge sign of relief when he got up, when he put his fist in the air and said fight, fight, fight, and there's an incredibly courageous moment. but it's heartbreaking as asana i mean, first of all, it's heartbreaking for this nation. our nation you should not be in that spot ever ever, ever, ever it must carry though is a sun. >> it's terrifying. i loved the man these are remarkable father. he's been a great guy to me. i obviously, you know, there's no one that supported him the way i have. i stood on the stage every single day for the last 89 years of politics

and our families i run our company just a special guy is a big part of my life. he's my best random yeah. to seemed be a shot at it. it's on thinkable. did it take you a long time to get in touch with him and to be able to actually talk to them. was i know everybody in the ecosystem, as you can probably imagine it's little finally, he was in the hospital and i get a call from him and he cracked a little joke and i knew the donald trump, i know the father, i know is his back and he was kind of surprising to have that kind of spirit right after that happened. i mean, there's life could have been taken. heartbeat almost was and in other people's lives were taken that day and it was scary. it was scary, but again, just a remarkable person. do you think gets sunk and for him, that he was within an inch of his life. i mean, that's something every president i think is worried about their threats. you have secret service protection, but has he grappled with the fact that it was so close? it was less than niche. had. he he turns his head like this right before the other shop row. how do you not turn his head? he do that right now. i know that's how close this was. i mean, obviously he

had his his ear yes, he's certainly understands how close at wilson and at the same time, he's not deterred. i remember the first thing he said when i spoke in the hospital is nothing changed with the rnc. i'm going to be there tomorrow. as i had initially planned ago. you were still in the hospital. you're about to get a cat scan and you were not changing anything. i am going to be in milwaukee and when we said we're going to be in milwaukee and legacy would they're sticking lives here. i know it's just a celebratory environment. to go from something. so sobering this must be kind of jarring for you when you look at that it and just, you know, what happened you're your dad has come out and said he wants to see unity. that is what he's seeking for. what is that going to look like in his speech held this piece is amazing and it's it credibly bonds that event. >> and you're right, you go from there darkest moment to what i did a couple hours ago when i learned castle final delegate vote in the state of florida that made him the republican nominee for president united states, right i mean, think about that shift in a 48 hour period of time

from almost in your father get killed to casting that vote. and he's go walk up on that stage and a few days and i do something great and it's going to be a positive message, just country has to come together. it's enough of this stuff already and we need to make america strong. we need to make america safe. we need to make america great. people loved the flag and you look at happiness in this room right now as people to answer if the cowboy pass you've got american flags i mean, the spirit in this room is incredible. and that shouldn't be demonized, has shown if you have disagreements on political issues are fine, but it should not be demonized yeah. do you think it's altered what the next four months look like? i covered your dad's for his campaign. i covered a second campaign what does it change about what these next 100 days, what it looked like beforehand? >> well, i certainly hope it does have politics is luckily, i never possibly imagine how ugly it would have been. i think we're all naive. we were open up a big world, right? in a real estate, it's a cut-throat business nothing comparative politics and i think i think politics needs to be dealt with a lot more respect and a lot more love and

even when i was down there before, not you, not your network, but, you know, i was attacked by one of the networks and msnbc and i'm saying they're saying is less than 48 hours after guy almost took a bullet in the head and you're already just going crazy on you know, we've got to cool it down with got to stop i think you're going to say beautiful speech, or is he motivational speech and a proud of the man? he did not need this slide should be living a billionaire with reply from hobbes, florida and every day he wants to go out and fight for them american people, and it's remarkable, i can tell you if you had 1,000 years of his none of them would do what he did. they wouldn't have that bite. they wouldn't have that energy. they wouldn't want to do it i love the man to daphne's or markable a human being, and i'll make radically property. it's on i think everyone could say they're glad that he said eric trump, thank you for joining us and talking about that obviously to just hear what those moments were like, we were all watching them as a country, as reporters, but also to hear from his family and what it was like thank you very much. backyard as well. just

ahead much more of our special coverage of the republican national convention, georgia's republican governor brian kemp, is standing by live. he will join us. we're also expecting to hear from conservative congresswoman marjorie taylor greene on the convention stage and we'll be right back every night. >> you're going straight to the source. we start with breaking news going inside the biggest stories. what's happening in ukraine and what is happening here in israel, sharing the latest with you, this source with kaitlan collins week nights at nine at simply safe, we designed the number one rated home security system, powered by 24/7 professional monitoring for half the cost of traditional security. you stay safe for less than $1 a day. there's no safe like simply safe not every

you get your tools from harbor freight, something about the job feels different. your wallet,

231231. now i'm bill, we're on the california coast and this is cnn here. >> the convention is underway. let's get straight to kristen holmes. kristen, you've got some breaking details here about the former president here at the convention later tonight, the timing of that is still fluid and we are still learning new details as to what this would look like now with this done happen, obviously everything with the former president is it's up in the air. >> we don't know what exactly this is going to look like. but one thing to note here and i'm telling i'm being told that perhaps you didn't hear the top of what i said. so i'm going to go again. a source familiar

with the matter tells us that former president donald trump is expected to appear tonight at the convention. this will be his first appearance since he was shot in that attempted assassination on saturday, we are told that he has been eager to get out here to the convention that he has been eager to meet with supporters and with allies, that this has brought him a use of determination and resolve. know what exactly this looks like tonight. obviously, we will wait and see erin but that is clearly big news that the former president is expected to be here later tonight though absolutely. >> and as you point out, i mean, he was shot on saturday and he had actually originally planned to delays and going to milwaukee by a couple of days and then went ahead with his plans. he's there and going to appear on this first night at the program obviously is underway. we do anticipate marjorie taylor greene is going to be speaking in just a few moments. a jonah, let me just start with you here though, to respond to what kristen just reported the former president is going to come out tonight now, obviously, the last time there was an in-person convention, he went every night, right. but this is a

very different year. this is after saturday it is important to him. he obviously wants to get out there the first night he's there. yeah. i mean, again, i think you're right. i mean, he loves the crowds at this thing. he you know, the whole wwe kind of thing. but at the same time it's, it's an impressive gesture, right? he's just got shot you know, in the took off part of his ear a millimeter morning would have been dead. and it kind of reminds me a little bit of him doing the fist up at when he had covid from the car, right. he just wants to say send that message. what will be very interesting to me is whether or not bandage on it, whether he has his hair over it, or whether he wants the cameras to see it because he cares about visuals so much and how that plays. i just have no idea. well, that's actually a really important point. >> it is. you can say what you want to say about donald trump than i have a lot to say about donald trump but he really does understand the show, right? i think from you're tal about him in the car sort of

waving. but i think about when he came back from covid and the climb the steps back to the truman balcony and sort of stood there like superman and the way that everybody and then went inside maybe collapse. i don't know. but for that moment he understood how to command attention and i think that's part of the appeal of trump is that he seems like he's a guy who's really in charge, at least of himself in the environment. that's happening around him. and i think people really respond to that now, i would say wants to do a lot of things with that being in charge that most of us don't want him to do like get rid of abortion but for the for the average person it does feel like here's like a really big remember the other time that trump came out, maybe a little unexpectedly at a convention was in 2016 when ted cruz was speaking and was giving a speech that seemed perhaps insufficiently positive about donald trump and trump came out and just kind of stood there there silently and sent this message of strength like, okay, senator cruz, are you going to get on board or not? he has

used the ai pop up at the convention to send really, and wordlessly to send a message of strength has done that before. yes, i think people want to see him. this guy is 78-years-old we're talking about a senior citizen who was shot i'm a gun owner, own a gun company. i don't understand. i don't know if people really understand what it's like to be in the midst of crossfire for anybody let along someone who is almost 80-years-old i can't imagine that this hasn't changed his outlook on life. erin, and i hope he does show the scar, show the battle scar, you will republicans want to see that his base would love, love. to imagine that he doesn't. yeah, it is harder. they would love to see that. so i think this is a good moment, not just for republicans, but also for the country we almost lost a former president and whatever differences you may have about donald trump experiencing something like that is absolutely life changing and it's good that he's coming out there not just only for republicans, for the country, and i would also say for the world. all right, well of course as our coverage here

continues, we're awaiting marjorie taylor greene, one of the first to speak tonight. >> we don't exactly know when he'll be coming on stage, wolf, but now we do know this first night, he will be coming out anytime we've been listening really, very, very excellent musical presentation going on right guard chris janson, the country music star, feel like audie and i should be getting up and dancing a little bit of good that later the screen myself right now we have this very special guests the governor of georgia republican governor of georgia, brian kemp, governor effects, would likely you've been enjoying this visit there playing a lot of it. >> thanks very much for joining us we're standing by, we're going to be hearing directly from marjorie taylor greene, us congresswoman from your state of georgia. what do you expect? she will say well i think i, think he'll do a lot of what the crowds doing, what the bands doing, what the chairman's do, and just trying to get the delegate retired issues walking up to the stage. >> right now, we look, continue this conversation, governor, i

want to hear what she has to say. >> thank you. thank you. today is a celebration. the american spirit is alive and well and we have once again nominated for president the founding father of the america first movement. donald john trump unfortunately this is also a somber moment for our nation. two days ago, evil came for the man we admire and love so much. i thank god that his hand was on president trump and i pray, for the

family of corey comperatore. who was killed at the rally. and for other attendees who were wounded korea embodied the spirit of america first he displayed the ultimate show of love when he shielded his wife and daughter sacrificing his own life he reminded america of what we must be a people who will do whatever it takes to defend the people and the nation that we love. i love you too we will honor kory's memory by building the country. he wanted. the country he wanted for his children and a government worthy of the american people for far too long. the establishment and washington has sold us out they

promised unity and delivered division. they promised peace, and brought war. they promised normalcy and gave us transgender visibility day on easter sunday and let me state this clearly. there are only two genders and we are made in god's image amen and we walked shy away from speaking that simple truth ever the democrats ripped up in our borders and allowed millions of illegal aliens to porin driving up the cost of housing and health care

while slashing american wages and eliminating jobs. they claim that our economy is thriving yet hundreds of thousands of american born workers lost their jobs. these past few years. the democrats economy is of by and for illegal aliens our open borders have also unleashed the worst drug crisis in american history. yet, while hundreds of thousands of americans are suffering, the democrats spent over 100 175 billion. your tax dollars to secure ukraine's borders but they tell us the border wall is too expensive but in american government that serves the interests, not of the wealthy. the globalist or

the powerful few but have all hardworking americans is within our grasp donald trump has and he will make america successful again he will make us wealthy again and it's got as my witness, he will finally give us the country we deserve but donald john trump is the leader american deserves. god bless the american people. god bless president trump and god bless the united states of america representative marjorie taylor

greene of georgia, republican, the georgia speaking year after republican no convention in milwaukee, we were talking with republican governor brian kemp of georgia just before, but i want to continue that conversation. >> what was your reaction was that? message of unity that we heard from congresswoman marjorie taylor. certainly. thank her tone when she started talking about the events of saturday the tragic loss for really a great american hero and a father protecting his family was right on point. you when she moved into the more talking points the campaign and the issues in the race and they look, she's got a great point on things like the border. lot of americans are frustrated out there. a lot of the policies of the biden administration's what i'm hearing about every single day from hard work georgians, they can afford four more years of joe biden at one point she said the establishment in washington has sold us out. you agree with her

i think the establishment in washington for a long time now from a republican governors perspective, there's a lot been a lot of frustration from that, which is one reason that you know, we have really, i think not only myself, but a lot of other good republican governors have really tried to take the policy lead over the last several years, invade the incubators of democracy. >> and so, you know, look, i'm as frustrated with the federal government. she is as you know president biden carry georgia, your home state, higher fraction of a percentage point in 2020 trump need to do to win georgia this time well, i've been saying for a long time and chairman watley said this just a couple of days ago in an interview, the chairman of the republic the chairman of the republican party, and the chairman of the convention here, soggy about this, this week is a great opportunity for republicans to tell people what we're for, why they should vote for us and stay focused on the future. >> not look in the rearview

mirror, not talk of days gone by in 2020 but really, you know, to the people that are hurting out there across this country to the swing voters and persuadable voters that are out there, give them a message in a reason to ublican and the vote for donald trump for president. and i think he's got a great opportunity to do that with not only the record of joe biden, but also the division in the democratic party right now. >> what, what do you think, if anything, the impact of the horrible assassination attempt against former president trump over the past weekend what's going to be the political impact of that going into the solution? >> well, just an incredible moment for our country. i mean, for me it was, you know, i was very sad that something like that could happen in today's politics. but also very thankful that he survived but also just heard that, you know, you got a family that lost a husband and a father and i'm sure a son. you've got two people there were injured and it was this horrible. but i

think the way trump displayed strength through that is only going to be positive for him. i think it'll help galvanize the republican base. but also thanks wolf. it gives him a great opportunity to be a positive messenger. and the few stir him and president biden both talked about unity. i think it gives him a great opportunity to do that. this week. and really move his campaign to a different level. >> i remember brian kemp of georgia are great straight. thanks very much for coming in aaron back to you. >> all right. well obviously the governor of georgia, they're talking after marjorie taylor greene, who came out and obviously at the very beginning and he referenced this she talked about what happened saturday. she talked about mr. comperatore who died. and then she went to her previously scheduled speech yeah you know, obviously she talked about trans youth. >> are she's two genders here's it, here's one question for me after saturday,

it just comes even more. how is it that we're all supposed to live? together here, right? like that's supposed to be part of what the politicians are up to is proving out, how it as we made the country better, but how it is we make more and more people included in it. but maybe there's another agenda that's marjorie taylor is agenda which doesn't actually include all americans. and i think that's the thing for fairly people in the left, but a lot of people the center they want to have a country where you can just live your life and nobody sort of gets in the way of you and your business. but there seems to be a lot of people in the maga side, very republicans who actually towards the libertarian right. a lot of maga people are now saying that's not what they want, but actually what the government to be able to say, what's right and what's wrong. because in her few minutes that she spoke jonah and this is it's an important speech, right? this is leading into the first night the president, i'd say the foreign president, i'd say it's going to be out there tonight and right after she talked about saturday, she said talked about transgender awareness day being on easter sunday, and that being unacceptable. and then she said to meet to be clear, there's only two genders she used her

time, to do it. look, i get it. i will say just as the votes of horseshoe theory the left has an anti libertarian thing too about making bakers have to pay big, make messages that they don't want to make and all that kind of stuff. i don't like either of it on both sides. that said i'm if i'm playing in this convention and you know, you got to give a slot to marjorie taylor greene on the one hand, introducing people on the first day tour not great. bob. on the other hand getting it out of the way and thinking that your other messaging will bury it, might make a lot of sam what strikes me about this is when you think about the bucket of issues, we think of as the social issues, right? typically we think of things like abortion in that bucket. but actually the party platform slightly maybe kind of moderated on this. i have asked in my polling among republican voters, what do you think of as the most critical cultural challenges facing the country and the tradition? chanel quote-unquote social issues, things like abortion or further down on the list, then things

like conservatives feeling like new ideologies around race and gender are coming for them. and so this is, in some ways, it's a reflection of the new way that conservative she prioritize. >> we're looking when you talk about talking to the base, the transits, the fact that she would pick trump and gender be so specific about it actually fits. it definitely speaks to the base, but it's also the sort of area where republicans believed democrats have misplayed their hand. they believed democrats have gone overboard and that sort of normal mainstream americans think it is actually democrats, not republicans who are outside the mainstream polling suggests that there's some truth to that even among democrats, particularly among democrats of color. but look you know, you get, you have the sprinkle in some salt and pepper for the base. i think that's what you do with marjorie taylor greene. they're going to be some other more controversial characters there who may say things that people don't like. you have to do that. but i think overall, aaron, most people are thinking about jd vance, who he is. i want to know more about jd vance and not so much about what marjorie taylor greene reinstated. right? although, you know, when you're looking at trying to win over those

voters in the middle are people who are looking for people who are maybe giving trump a second chance. second look after saturday obviously that's not what you're gonna put out there, but we will get some of that tonight you're going to have you'll have seem scott tonight. you'll have glenn youngkin, governor of virginia there. they are putting other very different sorts of voices out tonight absolutely. >> and some of this will be used by the democrats in order to fund fundraise. so keep in mind, this video doesn't just live in republican the republican era. democrats will grab a hold of some of this and suited to their base and say, look, if trump gets elected these are the people he's gonna put in charge. >> all right well, thanks to all of you, of course, as our coverage here continues, we are expecting that appearance by donald trump tonight on the first night of the convention, as well as several high profile convention speaker's. i mentioned a couple of them, glenn youngkin, also tim scott, there will be more on that list. kristi noem, others in that party. how will their remarks play with delegates, ai, with voters watching at home, like we said, who might be looking at is very differently. our coverage
