Now, from New York City to the world, it's Dominic Carter, live from the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Here's Dominic Carter. And good afternoon everyone. Dominic Carter here with you. What is going on live here in Milwaukee at this hour? We'll get to Trump's Florida's case in just one second and of course, I'll be taking your telephone calls live. Let's go ahead and open up the phone lines right now. A lot of news is going on as we speak live here in Milwaukee at the convention. The number is always to reach me 808489222. We are opening up the phone lines right now. So we are being told that there are reports that Mr. Trump will announce his vice presidential pick about 4.30 this afternoon, but it could happen anytime between now and 4.30. Here's what we know thus far. We have been told that an event that Congresswoman Elise Stefanik had, that event is now canceled. It was an event for the New York delegation from 4 p.m. until 6 p.m. That's been canceled. And the reason why it's been canceled is the former president is going to speak at some point today. At some point today, we are being told that Mr. Trump is going to speak. Now, we do not know as of right now whether it's going to be here at the RNC with him being here live or if it will be perhaps via video. But the one thing you can expect is when he does so. When Trump addresses this convention after what happened this weekend with the assassination attempt, this place is going to explode. Trump's Florida case. I told you folks a long time ago. I know it's stressful, but I said relax and let's see what happens. And now the Florida case has been dismissed. Dismissed. It's gone after the judge finds the appointment of special counsel Jack Smith violated the Constitution. That case is gone. More information about Pennsylvania, the assassination attempt. The shooter purchased apparently 50 rounds of ammunition just hours before the assassination attempt. The sheriff there in Pennsylvania is defending the officer who failed to stop the young man minutes before the shooting when the officer was up on the rooftop, but back down after he pointed the gun at him and the sheriff is stating that he would have done the same exact thing. 808489222. Mr. Trump also calling for RFK Jr. to receive secret service protection. That it is the right thing to do. Let's begin with your telephone calls this afternoon. Let's begin with Robert in Brooklyn line one. Good afternoon, Robert. What's on your mind? Good afternoon. Thanks for taking my call. First of all, thank you, God, for saving our wonderful President Trump's life. It was a miracle. President Trump yesterday in the morning. He mentioned it was God alone. It saved him. Thank you, God. And our condolences to that wonderful family who lost that wonderful fire chief. Their father is two daughters. They lost their father. And I have to point out, you know, no conspiracy theory, but the facts and facts would happen with the security. The secret service was horrific. It was absolute gross at the best. It was gross in confidence what took place. And also Dan Banjino, who I see, a 12 year experience of a secret service person, pointed out that repeating requests from the secret service detail for more help was rebuffed. They did not get the help that they needed. And even if the deep state was not involved with directly pulling the trigger, they set a situation, whether it was in difference, in confidence, whatever it was, that allowed such a situation to happen. Plus the media, the mass media, the constant propaganda, the demonization of Donald Trump and the supporters, horrific. And so when you have something like that happen, you know, your body gets on the air. It's talking about unity. But these are the people who responsible for this horrific stuff and also all these winos. I mean, it's just, and now the vice president, all I could say is I hope, God guides Trump to select the very good vice president to pick. Because it's not just about now. We also have to think about four years from now. It's going to take more than four years to clean out the deep state. These people are ingrained in the military. That's your complex. Okay. Robert, let me, let me step in now. We do have some breaking news coming in. Breaking news. The Trump senior advisor, a Trump senior advisor has tweeted that J.D. Vance, the Ohio senator, is his vice presidential pick. Senator J.D. Vance of Ohio, selected by Mr. Trump to be number two on the ticket. And that's something that might be able to help the campaign in a great way. So I'm looking here now at a tweet from Mr. Trump, a post, and he says, I'm quoting here verbatim. After lengthy deliberation and thought and consideration, the tremendous talents of many others, I have decided that the person best suited to assume the position of vice president of the United States is Senator J.D. Vance of the great state of Ohio. J.D. honorably served our country in the Marine Corps, graduated from Ohio State University in two years, summa cum laude, and is a Yale Law School graduate where he was editor of the Yale Law Journal and president of the Yale Law Veterans Association. He goes on to say, that is Mr. Trump. This is from him directly, Mr. Trump. J.D.'s book, Hillbilly LG became a major bestseller and movie as it championed the hardworking men and women of our country. J.D. has had a very successful business career in technology and finance and now during the campaign. During the campaign will be strongly focused on the people he fought so brilliantly for the American workers and farmers in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Minnesota, and so far beyond. And again, here's why this is immediately a smart move. If you're going with the senator, and it's official for Mr. Trump right now, from Ohio, all of those neighboring states may come along. It's battleground states. I am telling you folks, as I have said consistently, consistently, Trump is headed back to the White House and he's making master moves, an event that was for the New York delegation here in Milwaukee at the New York hotel with Congress woman, Elise Stefanik, has been canceled. And we are told it's canceled because Trump is going to speak at the convention here tonight. We don't know if he'll be here in person, as you can imagine. And I don't want to go into Secret Service security detail, but it took us a good hour and a half to get in. They are literally each bus that comes here. And you can't just get here. Each bus that comes here is escorted by a federal marshal on the bus and then a mile out on the perimeter. Then we will stop by Secret Service agents to make sure that there's a federal agent on the bus before we can even get to the next point. Very, very tight security here, but Mr. Trump making the announcement just posting a short time ago that JD Vance of Ohio is his Senator JD Vance of Ohio, the great state of Ohio is his number two on the ticket. We are taking your telephone calls. We are live here in Milwaukee at the RNC. The number to reach me, your reaction to Trump going with JD Vance 800-848-9222. We want to hear from you on the announcement that Mr. Trump has just confirmed as we brought it to you live here, JD Vance number two on his ticket of Ohio, the Senator. It's going to be, it's a smart look. It's a smart move and we will see how this all plays out. In the meantime, let's take some of your other general calls. Let's go to Dayton in New Jersey. Dayton, welcome here to Milwaukee, the RNC Convention. What's on your mind? My name is David and it's a great pick. I don't want to be sarcastic. It's not a DEI nomination, but it's a great pick. Also, I want to say, how come the sharpshooters, they're supposed to look at the perimeter. They couldn't see a thing, a football field in half away. Don't they have drones? I don't believe drones were used in this case. I'm trying to deal with fact and not speculation, not rumors. You would think that drones would be used throughout. Now, I can say consistently that they did not appear to be used throughout. And so you believe that Senator Vance of Ohio is a good choice? Of course. You're good looking, very smart. Look at his credentials. You just stated Yale University, top of this class in Ohio state. I'm a Marine Senator. Unbelievable. Well, fair enough. You had to be dead? It's certainly not DEI and it shouldn't be. Thank you so much for the call, Dayton and New Jersey. Allen Yonkers doesn't necessarily agree with the choice. Why not Al? Yeah, Dominic, nice to speak to you. Can you hear me? Loud and clear. Go ahead, please. You know, JD Vance was a distant third running in the Republican primary last year when Trump endorsed him. And right when he endorsed him, he was able to win that 11th hour Senate primary. JD Vance, Ohio would go to Trump no matter what. So he doesn't help him in terms of state. But what about the neighboring states? The neighboring states, Michigan and others. Wisconsin, these are all major states in play. Yeah, I just don't think JD Vance's influence would extend to those battleground states. And also JD Vance some time ago was, you know, not, was a critic of the president in some sense. So I thought he should have went with Marco Rubio or Tim Scott. So I think he made a bad choice with the pick today. Well, fair enough, fair enough, Al. Thank you for the call. And we are coming to you live right now from the RNC here in Milwaukee. Dominic Carter here with you. Major news dropping within the hour. Mr. Trump has picked Ohio Senator JD Vance as his vice president pick. And we are being told that Mr. Trump at some point this evening, at some point, you know that they're going to make an appearance together and we are told that at some point, at some point, Mr. Trump is going to address the convention. Should that happen? This place is going to explode. We are going to explode in terms of the tremendous joy, the tremendous support given what happened over the weekend in Pennsylvania with the assassination attempt. We are going to take a break. We are going to take more of your telephone calls, breaking news, live from here at the RNC in Milwaukee. I'll be right back. This is Dominic Carter. Welcome back to Topgolf. I'm Chaz Mulligan. And I'm Bertie Baker. The sounds of free 30 minutes of summer gameplay. Free 30 minutes of gameplay weekdays 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. The sounds of big drives, big whiffs, every type of swing.

At KeyBank, we know a small moment like... Ooh, these sandals would go really well with... a beach. Can we do an even bigger question like... Should I splurge on a trip this year? And that's the type of moment where we'll meet you. With financial advice on everything from budgeting for travel to building savings. So maybe that destination isn't too far off. What do you think, Cindy? I think these sunglasses would go well with a tiny umbrella drink. For every financial need, we'll meet you in the moment. KeyBank opens doors. KeyBank member FDIC. Hear that? That's what cooked when you ordered juicy beef sounds like. The steaming hug of two slices of melted cheese. The crunch of tangy pickles and sliced onions all topped with a toasted sesame seed bun. That's the sound of a McDonald's quarter pounder with cheese. Fresh beef at participating US McDonald's. Excludes Alaska Hawaiian US territories. Alright, next up. We got a fresh and fruity chat coming at you from Welch's. This one's for everyone out there. Fruit and stuff up. Fruit and fruit and fruit and fruit and rock and everywhere. Rock and everywhere. I found you, Miss Real Fruit. Juice it up there, bring it back to me. Welch's. Fruiting up your day. Thank y'all for tuning in and thanks to Welch's for bringing us that big, bold, delicious flavor. May the real fruit for a taste as bold as you. Welch's. Let's fruit stuff up. Now, from New York City to the world, it's Dominic Carter. From the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Here's Dominic Carter. And we are back live here in Milwaukee. The suspense is over. Partially, Mr. Trump has named freshman Ohio Senator J.D. Vance. J.D. Vance to serve as his number two in Trump's bid to return to the White House ending months of speculation about who he had chosen for the number two spot. And so we are waiting to hear from Mr. Trump. We are waiting to hear from the Ohio Senator and now a number two picked by Trump in his first official capacity as number two. That means that as of right now, as of right now, Mr. Vance will be debating Kamala Harris, but that's a fluid situation on the Democratic side. And I said, it answers part of the of the suspense here because we are told. And of course, on a day when the nominee selects his number two, they go before the media. And so we are told that Mr. Trump will be addressing the convention in some capacity tonight. We don't know if it's on video. We don't know if he'll be here, but it is going to happen. We are taking your telephone calls Lisa in New Jersey. Good afternoon, Lisa, and welcome to Milwaukee. Hi, Tom. Great show is usual. I was kind of hoping for general Michael Flynn, but J.D. Vance is a great pick. And real fast regarding Saturday night when they do an autopsy on the shooter's body, are they going to identify all these bullets where they came from. So there's no unsuspecting and unidentified bullets. That's a good question. I don't know the answer to directly and Lisa answer your question, but I believe we'll have some answer. But I think that the country is waiting to hear from the head of the Secret Service amid calls that she should be forced out. What do you think, Lisa? Absolutely. She should have resigned that night. Wow. Wow. So you think that Vance is a good selection? I mean, I do. I don't see any downside. I think it's full speed ahead for Trump. And, you know, we're going to see what happens a bit later on today. Day one of the RNC on the top of your mind, top of your head. Do you see any downside? You know what? Trump has already been there. It's not his first rodeo. This is his second time around, and he's going to go with his gut instinct. So whatever he goes with, I'll be good with. Fair enough, Lisa, in New Jersey. Thank you. Let's go to Jimmy on Long Island, who apparently does not like the selection. Tell me why, Jimmy. Hey, man, glad you took my call. I don't not really like it. My negative is, I think we gave the other side, the radicals on the other side. We're giving them a talking point now. The talking point is going to be, oh, here we go again to white guys. And just to let you know, my pick, and I know it would have been a dark horse, I would have loved to see him go outside the box and made Tootsie Gabbard as the VP. I think that would have been a slam dunk. It would have brought in women. It would have brought in independence. It would have brought in Democrats who are fed up with them. Okay. Wait a minute. But wait a minute. Trump is already expanding the base himself, bringing in African Americans and Latinos. You don't, you don't see that way. No, I'm just saying politically, I think that, you know, you'll see. You're going to hear the talking points from the other side. Here we go to white guys again. You know, you know, they want diversity. So I'm not saying Vance isn't the right guy. I think just politically or optics, you know, it might have been better taking a female or a minority. Fair enough. Fair enough, Jimmy. Thank you for the call. We are coming back live here to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the RNC when we come back. Hey, welcome to Ikea. How can I help?

Now, from New York City to the world, it's Dominic Carter, live from the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Here's Dominic Carter. Pursuant to the announcement of the delegation and the rules and procedures of this convention, Oregon, 31 votes, President Trump. I love it. Mississippi, 40 delegates. Thank you, Madam Secretary. Governor Tate Reeves, on behalf of the great state of Mississippi, the hospitality state, the birthplace of America's music, home to BB King, Elvis Faulkner, and the best catfish. You are getting a taste of what's happening in the day session live, as we speak, delegates here on the floor doing a roll call vote. I've seen many, many, many women in red, in red supporting Trump, with shirts from all over the country. I've seen men with cowboy hats on. And the news, as it broke while we're here live on the air, JD Vance, the first term senator of Ohio is Trump's VP pick. And so it's interesting because it reminds me obviously different philosophies, but it reminds me of when Obama, Obama was a first term senator, and he decided to run for president. Dominic Carter here with you live in Milwaukee, Wisconsin at the RNC. Let's see here. Let's go to, I'm looking at your phone calls here, live in in Milwaukee here. Let's go to Kenny and Yonkers. Kenny, good afternoon. What's on your mind? Welcome live to Milwaukee. Dom, it's Teddy. It's not Kenny. It's Teddy. Kenny, go ahead, please. Okay. Dom, it's Teddy. Can you hear me? Teddy. Okay. It says he on my screen. Kenny, I'm sorry. I apologize for that. You got mixed up. Okay. Dom, thanks for taking my call and I hope you're safe. We are safe. Thank you, Teddy. Oh, as well. You know I love you. Dominic, I want to thank, I wish President Trump, former President Trump, a speedy and healthy recovery, and thank God he wasn't severely injured. Okay. That's the first thing I wanted to say. I don't want anyone in politics to be injured or hurt physically. Okay. And I want to thank what President Biden did on TV, national TV, to take the calm down. Cool, but lower the temperature on everyone. Come on, Teddy. Come on, Teddy. You know that saving face. You know that that's President Biden, who's been highly critical of Trump, calling the man a racist and everything else but a child of God. That's the democratic attempt to try and do damage control over what happened this weekend. Dominic, I understand what you're saying, but I heard President Trump say he's a piece of crap. Okay. That's the language that I heard. I didn't say. Okay. About Biden. He called him a piece of crap. Okay. So let's call it on both sides. That's all I'm going to say. Okay. You don't want to hear that. No, no, it's not. It's not. It's not that I don't want to hear it, Teddy. It's that the Biden campaign had commercials calling Donald Trump a racist. Are you going to deny that? At times he is. I think he is. Come on. Come on, Teddy. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. I'm never going to change your opinion. Trump can do no wrong in your vice. He could. He could say no wrong. He could do no wrong. Okay. That's not true. That's not true. That's not true. That's not true. And and and and and Teddy. Let me tell you something. There are a lot of people of color here in Milwaukee supporting Trump, period. Go ahead. What you thought? That's all I got to say. I don't want anybody to get hurt. Okay. And as far as the VP, he's a hard right wing candidate. Okay. What's his, what's his viewpoint on abortion? Do you know? I'm not going to comment on that now, officially until I have a chance to do full research. I don't want to jump out the window and say something that may not be accurate. I just don't want to do that. Teddy, thank you so much for the for the call. Let's go here. Let's see. Let's go to a Phil in Queens. Good afternoon, Phil. You're alive and welcome to Milwaukee, the RNC. Go right ahead. Well, I didn't like you at first when I first heard you years ago. But man, you you've come around and I want to congratulate you for that. Thank you. To my point, to my point, I don't trust people with two first names and I don't trust these initial people like the ALC or J.R. from Dallas or L.B.J. or whatever. I think Ben Costes should have been the pick. He's so measured. He's so kind. You know why he couldn't be the pick? He's absolutely boring and he brings nothing to the ticket. That's why. But he's so cerebral with everything. How are you going to win with somebody that's absolutely boring? I mean, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. He may be a genius when it comes to medicine and the surgeries that he's performed, but he's boring and I don't know if he can cut it. Traveling the country is number two on the ticket and obviously Trump felt the same way. He didn't go with Carson. Well, I hope I hope he finds a position for him in his administration because he really is a brilliant man and I really love the guy. I really do. I mean, what he does is amazing. Fair enough. Fair enough. And should Dr. Carson want to serve in the administration, I'm sure that will happen. Again, should he want to serve? Phil and Queens, thank you for the call. Sandra in New Jersey. Welcome live here to Milwaukee. Sandra, what's on your mind? Well, a couple of things. The new choice, you know, he wrote a memoir similar to you as he came from a very, very harsh, he had a harsh childhood and he lived with his grandparents and he rose above all the prey and he became what he is today. He was an author, an investor, a venture capitalist, senator in Ohio and Yale law student lawyer. There's a lot of good stuff here. The United States Marine Corps, he was a second Marine aircraft wing person. He was in Iraq. So there's a lot to bring to the table. But the part that I like is his early childhood. It was very difficult for him, but he rose above it like you. I brought your book and I'm loving it. I'm reading it. And next I'll get his book. I'll get to know him and I'll be very happy with his weekly choice. And I just wanted to say one more thing Dominic. Yes. Okay. You know, Biden made a comment and even Mike Johnson was very perturbed by it. He said, "We're done talking about the debate. It's time to put Trump in the boneless eye." What did he mean by that? I don't understand that kind of a comment. It's very, very bad letter. Well, I think what he meant. And again, please don't put me in the position of being an apologist for the Biden administration. And what I believe he meant prior to this attack was that it's time to bring the fire to Trump, to criticize Trump, to go after him. But I mean, what more can you do in terms of what he had already done at his president, Biden? And you know, now and now looking back, it's bad. It's bad language. And it's something that may come to haunt the Biden administration, certainly the Biden campaign. Sandra, thank you for the call. Let's go to Alice. Alice in the great state of Ohio. Good afternoon, Alice, and welcome live here to Milwaukee. And good afternoon. Thank you so much. I'm so happy about JD Vance. We're getting this appointment. I'm from the area where he is currently living. I suspected early this morning when I was listening to the news that when Governor DeWine gave him extra security to get to the airport, that something was up. And this man is a self-made man. If you read Hillbilly Elegy, you get an idea of where he's from. And he is a family man. I like the way he has represented us since he has a short time in the Senate. And one other thing. I think they're happy to be divine intervention with Donald J. Trump last Saturday. And thanks to God. Well, again, again, and Alice, thank you for the call live here at the RNC. The RNC in Milwaukee. If Mr. Trump's head, and not just my opinion, the opinion of the emergency room doctor, the opinion of the physician that took care of him in the White House. If he had turned his head a quarter of an inch, this would be something completely different going on. As a matter of fact, I'm sure this convention would not have happened. If Mr. Trump had turned his head a quarter of a turn in either direction. And we're all grateful, Alice, that he's okay. And we're just very thankful about the entire process. Alice, thank you for the call. Let's stay in Ohio. Let's say good afternoon to Jim. Jim, good afternoon to you. You are live here at the RNC in Milwaukee. I think J.D. Vance will do very well. He's very well spoken. He's very well educated. And he will bring in the younger generation, which we desperately need in the Republican Party. Agreed, agreed, agreed, and anything that can energize the younger base is a good thing. And Trump, as a matter of fact, is doing that himself. He is doing remarkable things to expand the base. The race is over. I said that before all of this happened. And, you know, I don't know after what happened in Pennsylvania this weekend. I don't know if Biden remains at the top of the ticket. We'll see what happens. But thank you, Jim, for that call. Let's go to Larry and Queens, New York, Larry, good afternoon, and welcome here live to Milwaukee. Go right ahead. How are you doing? Dominic's. Pleasure to talk to you. Thank you. I got three. I got three suggestions, well, hopes for the Trump's inner circle of staff. I was, I'm hoping Dan Bongino can make a comeback. I'm hoping to see Officer Tatum from the Officer Tatum podcast. And also, what happened to Mark Robinson? I want him in there. That's what you needed there, the mouthpiece. Okay. But you're talking about the administration? Yeah. However, I mean, if Dan Bongino wants to come out of the time. But wait a minute. Now, nothing has happened yet, right? I mean, we got to give the man time. He just named his running mate today. I mean, these things don't happen, you know, with the snap of a finger. You may, you may get your wish. You may not. Thank you for the call. Let's go to Art in New Jersey, Art Welcome Live here to Milwaukee, the RNC. What's on your mind? Thanks for all your public work that you do, including doing great shows, which I listen to nightly. Thank you. Very kind of USA. Yeah. I get two quick items. One, I would recommend a bulletproof class about 10 feet high by 20 feet wide in front of the DAs. It's, right now they use it for bank tellers and savings in loan places to protect the tellers from the back from people jumping over or shooting at them. So why don't they have something like that in front of the podium where the president is? Well, as I mentioned with Guardian Angel Curtis-Sleewa, as I mentioned with him, that's something that once Obama won the nomination, because I remember broadcasting live from Denver, Colorado at the Denver Bronco Stadium, and they had, and as well when he spoke in Chicago, they had the full glass up about six to eight feet around the entire stage, the Secret Service. I think the problem is Mr. Trump is not that type of guy. He fits in with the crowd. He really does. He wants to be able to talk, but I don't know and talk freely without these types of obstacles. I don't know what's going to happen going forward, but thank you for the call. All right. Let's go to Rich in Pennsylvania, Rich quickly. What's on your mind? Thanks Dominic Dominic. You've always been a sound and objective observer. I've been listening to you a long time ago and when Phil from Queens just called, he opened up by saying he didn't like you at first when he began listening to you, but he can't believe how much you improved. And Mark Twain tells the story of a 16 year old boy who would never listen to the advice and the intellectual directions that his father gave him. But when the boy turned 21, he couldn't believe how much his father had improved. Well, fair enough, fair enough. And I thank you for that, Rich. I really do from Pennsylvania. Thank you for that call. Let me go. You know what? I see here on my screen in Milwaukee, Gracie Rockland County, New York. I refer to her as Miss Personality and which she is. She has a good pulse of the community and what is going on. We are live here at the RNC in Milwaukee. We will be right back. This is Dominic Carter. And now it's time for the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. Final thoughts breaking news. And folks, we are just receiving word. We are here live at the RNC and Milwaukee. President Biden has finally granted secret service protection to RFK Jr. After the Trump assassination attempt. And this has been months of resistance. But again, but again, we can tell you that as of right now, President Biden has granted secret service protection to RFK Jr. After the Trump assassination attempt. And Tunnel to Towers does wonderful work. And right now, we have the great, great honor of being joined live by Senator Ron Johnson, the senior senator of the great state of Wisconsin, Senator. Good afternoon. Thank you for joining us. Good afternoon. By the way, that's the first time I heard that President Biden offered to seek a service protection to RFK Jr. It's about time. I'm really glad he did that. I appreciate that. And it's breaking as of right now. So Senator Johnson, what do you make of Senator JD Vance? He is now number two on your ticket. I hate to lose him as a colleague. So that I'll tell you everything. Okay. JD is highly intelligent, person of integrity, highly articulate. So he's a great pick, but President Trump had a wealth, you know, just a wealth of experience and good options. I would have hated to see any of the senators named, but JD is a great pick. He'll be a fabulous vice president, vice president candidate and vice president. And Senator Johnson, we are talking live to Senator Ron Johnson, the senior senator of the great state of Wisconsin. And it is clear, right? And I say this objectively, Trump is headed back to the White House. There's no doubt about it. And this is only going to solidify his support. But what do you make, Senator, are the horrible news of what happened over the weekend? There was a positive to it, the assassination attempt in terms of Mr. Trump, you know, turning his head and raising his arm, his fist and declaring fight, fight, fight. Well, he certainly showed strength that you certainly want a commander in chief. I never caught my chickens before the hatch. I've been, I've seen polls be wrong in my own races. So this is going to be a close election. We need to consider that. And it's an important election. We're on a path to destruction right now. So I just don't take anything for grandmas, whoever. But I do think that tragedy that occurred on Saturday, I think there is possible good that can come out of it. And I think we're already seeing it in the tone that President Trump and President Biden are taking. I mean, for President Trump to say, okay, I'm rewriting my speech, I'm going to focus on how do we unify this nation. I've been seeing for a couple of years. As much as I ran as a Tea Party candidate, Morgan Air Children's Future, we haven't solved that. We've exacerbated that problem. But I've been saying the greatest threat to America is we are a house divided. And as Lincoln said, a house divided against itself cannot stand. It can't. So we need to heal this political division. And we start with the acknowledgement that we're not a naturally divided people. I mean, think about it. And the major goals of life, safety, security, prosperity, we love this country, those are big things that we agree on. So why are we sort of divided? It's because you have political figures in groups purposely dividing us for political game. Don't let them get away with it. And when we have a moment like this, it can act as a catalyst in both sides. The leaders of both sides are saying, time to cut this out. And it is time, Senator. We have two minutes left, Senator. I know that a lot of people waiting for you right now, you're listening to the voice of Senator Ron Johnson, the senior senator of the great state of Wisconsin. So at the end of the day, Senator, in your opinion, does Biden stay at the top of the ticket for Democrats? It seems like that story is foregone in the past now. Well, listen, if he wants to stay, he'll stay. He went through this primary. And again, I don't think it was particularly fair, primary. They basically didn't allow RFKs, you need to compete in it. But that's their primary. He's got the votes. If he wants to stay, he will. From my standpoint, again, there's nothing vicious about saying this, he's just unfit for being president. He and his family are corrupt. He obviously is deteriorating physically and mentally. I don't like to see that in anybody. My father-in-law died of Parkinson's with the Lewy body. We kind of see the same types of progression here, sad, but he should be running for president. And I close with Senator Johnson in terms of if Kamala Harris is at the top of the ticket. I don't see how that can happen because Democrats will go from bad to worse. But how do you see it? Yeah, I wouldn't want to see here's my president. That's absolutely for sure. My concern is that they replaced Biden. The leftist media will crown whoever their candidate is as the next Messiah. And that'll be hard to compete with. The mainstream media has an awful lot of power and influence, so I'd be concerned. Senator Ron Johnson, thank you so much. The senior senator of the great state of Wisconsin, it's going to be very interesting. Senator, I know you've certain things you can't say, but we're being told that Mr. Trump is going to speak tonight. I do not know. Okay, Senator Johnson, thank you, thank you so much. The senior senator of the state, folks, we do want to tell you that donate $11 a month to t2t.com.com, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
