DELEGATES ON THEIR EXPECTATIONS FOR DONALD TRUMP.

DONALD TRUMP'S SPEECH TONIGHT, JOE BIDEN AND THE DEMOCRATS AND A LOOK AHEAD TO THE REST OF THE FINAL NIGHT OF THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION.

JOINING US ONCE AGAIN FROM MILWAUKEE ARE AMANDA VICKI HAD A SHARON AND NICK BLUMBERG AND OF COURSE, JOINING US HERE IN STUDIO, POLITICAL COMMENTATORS ANTI TO JACKSON AND NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR ERIK NISBET.

WELCOME BACK.

EVERYBODY.

NICK, LET'S START WITH YOU FIRST, PLEASE.

YOU KNOW, WE JUST HEARD FROM CONGRESSMAN MIKE BOST.

ALL EYES ARE ON DONALD TRUMP TONIGHT.

YOU ALSO SPOKE WITH ILLINOIS DELEGATES ABOUT WHAT THEY EXPECT TO HEAR FROM THE FORMER PRESIDENT IN HIS SPEECH TONIGHT.

WHEN THEY TELL YOU.

WELL, WE'VE HEARD ALL WEEK EXPRESSIONS OF GRATITUDE FROM THE DELEGATION SAYING THAT THEY THINK GOD SAVED PRESIDENT TRUMP'S LIFE DURING THAT ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT.

WE'VE GOT SOME VIDEO OF THAT WHOLE DELEGATION GATHERED ON THE FLOOR EARLIER THIS WEEK WHEN THEY OFFICIALLY PLEDGE THEIR VOTES TO NOMINATE TRUMP.

SO I THINK A LOT OF FOLKS ARE HOPING TO HEAR SOME OF THAT FROM TRUMP HIMSELF.

THEY THINK SOMETHING LIKE THIS, A BRUSH WITH DEATH MIGHT MAKE THE FORMER PRESIDENT MORE REFLECTIVE.

WE'VE HEARD A LOT OF THE WORD UNITY.

ONE OF THE DELEGATES TOLD ME HE THINKS MAYBE WE'LL SEE A MORE GRANDFATHERLY SIDE OF TRUMP.

OF COURSE, THAT WILL YOU KNOW, WITH THE BACKDROP OF WHAT WE'VE BEEN SEEING ON THE FLOOR A WEEK.

YOU KNOW, FOLKS IN AUDIENCE AT THE FISERV FORUM HERE, BREAKING OUT IN REGULAR CHANCE OF FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT, ECHOING THE PRESIDENT'S OWN WORDS.

SO WHETHER WE HEAR FROM TRUMP, THE UNIFIER OR TRUMP, THE FIGHTER OR PERHAPS A BIT OF BOTH, WE WILL FIND OUT VERY SOON.

AND OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, IT HELPS THAT WE DID, IN FACT, HEAR FROM HIS GRANDDAUGHTER, HIS ELDEST GRANDDAUGHTER LAST NIGHT, HEATHER, DEMOCRATS CONTINUE TO CAMPAIGN AGAINST TRUMP IN MILWAUKEE BY FOCUSING ON PROJECT 2025, BUT DON'T SEEM TO BE BREAKING THROUGH.

WHY NOT?

THEY ARE NOT BREAKING THROUGH.

THERE'S A LOT GOING ON IN MILWAUKEE FOR THE REPUBLICANS.

YOU CAN SEE BEHIND ME THE ENERGY AND SORT OF THE EXCITEMENT AND AND FOR THE FOR THE UNFORTUNATELY IN THE DEMOCRATS MIND THEY'VE BEEN BESIEGED WITH QUESTIONS ABOUT PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN'S FUTURE ON THE TICKET.

QUENTIN FOLKS WHO ILLINOIS RESIDENTS PROBABLY BEST KNOW AS CAMPAIGN DIRECTOR FOR FORMER ARE GOVERNOR JB PRITZKER'S REELECTION CAMPAIGN.

HE'S HELPING TO RUN THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN AND HE SOUNDED FRUSTRATED THIS MORNING WHEN HE WANTED TO TALK ABOUT PROJECT 2025.

AND SORT OF HOW THE IMPACT IT WOULD HAVE ON PEOPLE'S POCKETBOOKS IF THOSE POLICIES WERE IMPLEMENTED DURING A SECOND TRUMP TERM, HE COULD BARELY KIT THE REPORTERS IN THE ROOM TO FOCUS.

EVERYBODY WANTED TO KNOW WHETHER BIDEN WAS CONSIDERING CONSIDERING STEPPING DOWN AND WHAT SORT OF TIMEFRAME THAT WOULD BE LOOKING BY THE END OF IT.

IT WAS HE WAS GRATEFUL TO GET A QUESTION ABOUT THE SUBSTANCE OF PROJECT 2025.

BUT THAT'S NOT THE WHAT THE REPORTERS WERE INTERESTED IN TALKING TO HIM ABOUT.

I'M AMANDA, YOU SPOKE WITH ILLINOIS REPUBLICANS ABOUT THE TURMOIL THAT SEEMS TO BE ENGULFING THE DEMOCRATS.

HOW ARE THEY REACTING?

WELL, THEY'RE POSITIVELY PULL OVER IT.

THEY SAY THAT AFTER SO MANY YEARS OF THE MEDIA FOCUSING ON REPUBLICAN INFIGHTING AND DYSFUNCTION THAT THEY'RE HAPPY TO HAVE DEMOCRATS TAKE THEIR TURN.

AND AS ONE CONGRESSMAN PUT IT, SEEMS THE 5TH OPPOSITE PARTY IS LITERAL FREE FALL.

I ALSO WE REPORTERS ALSO ASKED THEM ALL RIGHT.

SO IF IT ISN'T PRESIDENT BIDEN, WHO DO YOU THINK IT MIGHT BE IN?

WHO WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE PRESIDENT TRUMP RUN AGAINST?

LETS TAKE A LISTEN TO THE ANSWER STATES REPORT REPRESENTATIVE THAT IS ON BALLOT.

I DON'T THINK THAT PRESIDENT REALLY CARES WHO THE NEXT NOMINEE IS THAT IT'S NOT TOO LATE.

I THINK YOU SEE RIGHT NOW.

THE COUNTRY IS.

READY FOR THE CHANGE BACK TO PRESIDENT TRUMP.

I THINK YOU LOOK WHEN THE LANDSLIDE, NO MATTER WHO IT IS.

NOW, OF COURSE, THERE ARE OFF MENTION NAMES, INCLUDING GOVERNOR JB PRITZKER.

CONGRESSMAN LAHOOD WEIGHED IN ON THAT.

HE SAID THAT HE THINKS THAT OUTSIDE OF ILLINOIS MEDIA BUBBLE OUTSIDE OF THE ILLINOIS MEDIA BUBBLE.

THAT IS PRITZKER DOESN'T OFTEN GET MENTIONED THAT HE BELIEVES IMPACTS THAT PRITZKER WOULDN'T BE A SERVING AS AN ELECTED OFFICIAL AND ALL WERE IT NOT FOR HIS VERY, VERY WEALTHY INHERITANCE, JACKSON THAT, YOU KNOW, WE JUST HEARD FROM MISTER CABELLO DO YOU THINK TRUMP AND THE REPUBLICANS ARE SEEING THIS, YOU POTENTIAL TURMOIL IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IN THIS UNCERTAINTY ABOUT BIDEN AND ARE THEY USING THAT TO APPEAL TO VOTERS WHO MIGHT BE UNSURE?

YEAH, I THINK THAT DEMOCRATIC BASE IS SOLID.

EVEN AS WE ARE DEALING WITH THIS PROBLEM, THIS ISSUE THAT WE'RE DEALING WITH RIGHT NOW AT THE END OF THE DAY, THE QUESTION IS, ARE WE GOING TO BE A DEMOCRACY ALWAYS GOING TO BE AN OLIGARCHY?

YOU CAN TO HAVE 14 MILLION VOTES.

86 1% OF THE DELEGATES AND THEN HAVE SOME WEALTHY DONORS THREATEN YOU WITH EXPULSION.

IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY.

AND I THINK IF YOU WILL, I THINK THE DEMOCRATS WILL BE BUYING MUCH, MUCH MORE TROUBLE IF THEY OVERTHROW PRESIDENT BIDEN WITHOUT HIS PERMISSION, YOU'VE GOT TO THIS IS HIS DECISION AND HIS DECISION ALONG AND ONCE HE DOES THAT, I THINK THAT THINGS WILL SMOOTH OUT IF PEOPLE FEEL THAT IT'S BEEN AN EASY TRANSITION.

I THINK THAT WHEN YOU HAVE A COUP.

THAT BECOMES THE PROBLEM.

ERIC NESBITT, YOU YOU MENTIONED THIS A LITTLE BIT EARLIER.

YOU KNOW, TONIGHT, SPEAKER LINEUP, WE'VE GOT TUCKER CARLSON, FORMER SECRETARY OF STATE MIKE POMPEO, BUT ALSO HULK IN ADDITION TO SOME OF THE EVERYDAY AMERICANS SO-CALLED EVERYDAY AMERICANS THAT WE'VE BEEN HEARING FROM A WEEK.

WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THIS LINEUP?

SO CAMPAIGNS?

I TEACH MY STUDENTS ABOUT 2 THINGS, CONTRAST AND CERTAINTY, RIGHT?

AND YOU HAVE THIS ON DISPLAY.

THIS IS TEXTBOOK RIGHT?

THERE IS CONTRACT TO HAVE US PERSONALLY TO SURVIVED.

ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT.

HE'S HEALTHY.

HE'S STRONG.

HE'S HE'S BEEN THERE EVERY DAY SHOWING HIMSELF RIGHT?

AND YOU HAVE A VERY UNITED REPUBLICAN PARTY.

IN CONTRAST, YOU HAVE THE DEMOCRATS THIS UNITED BICKERING ABOUT WHO MIGHT ACTUALLY THE THEM CONCERNS ABOUT THE HEALTH AND CAPABILITY OF THEIR TOP BOTH AMONG DEMOCRATS AND JUST THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND THE MEDIA.

THAT IS QUITE A CONTRACT.

AND THEN THERE'S CERTAINTY, RIGHT?

YOU KNOW WHAT DONALD TRUMP STANDS FOR, YOU KNOW THAT HE WILL BE IN CHARGE.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

HE'S A PATH WHERE MS THERE IS UNCERTAINTY, EVEN WHO WILL BE THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE AND WHO AND I MONITOR THE REPEATED DURING THE CONVENTION WHO IS IN CHARGE RIGHT THERE TALKING ABOUT THAT LAST NIGHT.

SO THIS IS THE CONTRAST.

AND SO IT'S BEEN A VERY EFFECTIVE WE CRIMES.

SO, NICK, WANT TO COME BACK TO YOU BECAUSE ALL WEEK RNC FASHION HAS BEEN PLAYING A MAJOR ROLE.

OBVIOUSLY, FOLKS, 11 TO SHOWCASE THEIR SUPPORT FOR DONALD TRUMP IN VARIOUS WAYS, INCLUDING IN ILLINOIS DELEGATION.

TELL US ABOUT THAT.

THAT'S RIGHT.

YOU SEE A LOT OF INTERESTING FASHION AND ACCESSORY CHOICES AT AN EVENT LIKE THIS.

BUT THERE'S A PARTICULARLY UNUSUAL ONE THAT POPPED UP AMONG THE ILLINOIS DELEGATION.

LET'S TAKE A BANDAGES, TO SHOW SOLIDARITY PRESIDENT TRUMP AND SOME PEOPLE ARE WEIGHING A SECOND.

THAT'S KIND OF LIKE MIKEY HUGHES INJURY THIS AND A TOOMEY RISES ABOVE AMERICAN FLAG.

IT COVERS THE YEAR JUST LIKE MAYBE DIVINE INTERVENTION PUBLIC.

PRESIDENT NEED SO THESE BADGE OF HONOR EAR TAGS WERE MADE BY A COMPANY IN MCHENRY COUNTY AND THEY WORKED QUICKLY.

I CHECKED THE INTERNET ARCHIVE OF THEIR WEB SITE FROM 2 DAYS AGO AND IT WAS NOT ON THE FRONT PAGE.

IT'S UP ON THE FRONT PAGE FOR SALE NOW.

THEY SAY A PORTION OF THE PROCEEDS WILL GO TO CHARITY TO BE DETERMINED.

IT SAYS.

BUT YOU KNOW, THESE THE CAUSE, THE BANDAGES STARTED POPPING UP ON FOLKS JUST AS SOON AS THEY SAW PRESIDENT TRUMP ON MONDAY BUT NOW WHERE THEY ONCE WERE WAIT NOW THEY
