Watch the full segment here and read the highlights below. On the Historic GOP Convention in Milwaukee: It was a unifying night. I have been part of the convention for years. This is the most unified and excited that the Republican Party and the American people have ever been. I had the opportunity to sit with the President in the President’s Box two nights ago, and it was just extraordinary seeing him and what a welcome he got on the first day of the convention. I thought J.D. Vance did a tremendous job introducing himself to the American people. It’s going to be a very strong ticket, and I was honored to speak two days ago about how we are working to make America safe again, how we are working to make America strong again, and, of course, the highlight and the culmination will be President Trump tonight. And I had the opportunity to speak with him the Sunday morning after the assassination attempt where he talked about how he was rewriting his speech and is focused on unifying the American people. So a real historic opportunity.
On the Stark Contrast Between the Republican and Democrat Parties: I think another highlight last night was hearing from one of President Trump’s grandchildren. Kai Trump which was a surprise speaker. She did a tremendous job talking about this person and this grandfather that President Trump is that so often gets lost in the mainstream media. You are exactly right, Steve, where there is chaos, disarray, free fall in the Democrat Party where you have Schumer and Pelosi, meeting privately with Joe Biden. talking about how it’s a problem for the House and the Senate. versus the unity we have with republicans. it’s a stark contrast for the American people to see.
House Republicans’ investigation into the Secret Service’s unacceptable failure to protect President Trump: Number one, the American people deserve answers, the president deserves answers. It’s really about transparency and accountability for the American people. I have called for the resignation of the director of the Secret Service. She has not been fulsome in providing 100 percent transparency. We had to subpoena her to appear before Congress. We shouldn’t have to subpoena. They should be voluntarily providing absolute details as to what went wrong so that it never happens again. This was an assassination attempt on a former President and the candidate who is likely to be the next President of the United States, there were so many security flaws. She will comply with the subpoena and testify on Monday, in front of the House Oversight Committee, and they have to answer some very, very tough questions. And they better come with details. because, otherwise, it’s unacceptable to the American people. |
