Tell me what the mood was like in the arena during those powerful moments.

Well, there wasn't a dry eye in the room when the Gordon family came with the buddy bench and their harrowing story about their daughter.

And I think that was probably one of the most impactful speeches of the night because we weren't hearing from politicians.

We were hearing from real people who I remember there was an interview a few months ago where the family said that they were not explicitly political folks.

And then they did a hearing with the Democrats.

And quite honestly, you know, it did not play well.

Those Democrats were very dismissive of the Gorman family.

What what a moment to illustrate what this election is all about.

What do you expect to hear from him tonight?

I think what we're really going to expect to see from him is making the dichotomy between some of the further left candidates that the Democrats are pushing and contrasting that with some of the wins that Republicans have had in the past two years, and I think especially we're going to see him nail down things like the tax cut extension, for example, right? And I also think we're going to see him highlight the border crisis and the fact that you don't really hear about it that much anymore.

The border crisis is now essentially a thing of the past, and this is something that the president will talk about all the time, that he, you know, would love to talk about it more, but, you know, people maybe want him to move on and discuss other issues.

And the reason why I say that is we're also going to be hearing from the family at Lake and Riley... tonight as well and I think that's going to be such a critical element of the night I think it's really going to be a standout thing at the convention this evening and I think that's going to draw into some of the broader themes

Do you think the Republicans have a shot in New Hampshire?

I absolutely think they do because this race was not on the map.

I've seen stories in recent weeks that New Hampshire is now a point of anxiety for them.

And it doesn't really surprise me from the perspective of the fact that, you know, they have a Republican governor.

Where do we stand on the map in Missouri, and then we'll get to your information.

So yesterday was a really busy day.

Um, we had Justice Kavanaugh, who denied the stay that our attorney general had filed in regards to the Supreme Court decision from last week.

Um, but there was another lawsuit out there that the federal district court has now issued, um, an order saying that, that Missouri has to comply with the 7-1 map, which is opposite of what the Supreme Court...

And what the Missouri Supreme Court did has never happened anywhere in the country.

They threw out our congressional maps after the primary.

Um, what do you wanna hear out of the Republican National Committee, out of the speakers? What's the best vector, the best argument for Republicans to make to the American people over the next two days?

I think there's three things that have to be done.
