John Wall joins us now, our Alabama GOP chair in Milwaukee at the convention, and about Brady loses voice. He's been so pumped up and excited. John, welcome in. Thanks for being here. Oh, it's good to be here after another exciting night of convention week. I'll tell you that Monday night was amazing. I mean, we were talking about how we going to top this on Tuesday night and come boom. I mean, a lot of great speakers last night highlights as far as you're concerned on, you know, who brought it? It stands out this morning to you from last night. Oh, you know, I think my favorite moment was Laura Trump when she was on stage five final, final speaker, when she was on stage and she talked about the shooting in Pennsylvania and how that personal, personal side to it, right? Like watching her children watch their grandfather be shot and shot at. I mean, to me, that was that was the moment, but like made it all so real. Very impactful. I thought and Nikki Haley, who was not going to be there until recently, you know, and obviously a very outspoken person against Donald Trump being one of the candidates running against him through the debate session and everything. And, you know, she was, and she got some booze, but she had some, you know, some applause as well. Oh, we had a little bit, you know, you saw there was this former debate, the fanist Haley yesterday really showed the unity of the Republican party right now. Here's Nikki Haley. I'll start by making one thing perfectly clear. Donald Trump has my strong endorsement period. So, I mean, she had, let's call it, 20 percent at, you know, one point during the debates, the support from the American people. So that's a pretty big statement right there. Do you think that 20 percent now runs with her and joins in with Donald Trump? You know, I look, I think after the events of last week, it's absolutely, this is not just Nikki Haley, this is pretty much everyone, the party, the Republican party and the American people are coming together. It's time for change. We know it and Donald Trump is the guy to do it. J.D. Vance is VP. I think very good one. We've been talking about him this morning as he will speak tonight in his background in so many different areas, very intelligent guy, very articulate guy and he's 39 years old. Your thoughts on J.D. Vance? I think J.D. Vance was an amazing choice. All right. So you highlighted this. He's 39 years old. He brings a unique perspective to this position, but more importantly, he's not just young. He's also a bold conservative. We're talking about a guy who's not afraid to hire conservative staff to stand up for conservative issues. And that's exactly what we need in a VP. He's strong. He's bold. He's conservative. He's ready to fight. He agrees with Donald Trump's policies. He checks all the boxes. So I'm actually incredibly excited about it. I think he's a perfect fit to help Donald Trump move forward. And then look, and communicate with a new demographic, a younger demographic who are right now, young parents with children who are struggling to put food on the table. We're talking about a guy who grew up struggling to put, you know, with family struggles to put food on the table. Yeah. And we're talking about someone who was able to live the American dream, and he had the message of hope that he could share with those people. Yeah. I think he'll do a good job tonight. If anybody is looking at watching some of the convention tonight, don't miss J.D. Vance for sure. You know, here we are in the middle of July. You feel the energy. You feel the tsunami of support and just this country really coming on board for Trump and, you know, contributions coming from big tech money and all of that. But being in the middle of July, after this week at the convention and the energy, you know, we've got to continue to get the vote out. Back here in Alabama, I know you're going to be pushing hard for that, making sure the integrity is in the voting and the ballot collection. And I mean, we got to ways to go three months until November 5th. No, that's exactly right. Look, in presidential politics, three weeks is an eternity, let alone three months. So no, there's a lot of runway left on this thing. And let's be, let's be clear. You know, the Democrats are going to get their act together and know they're all over the place now. The mainstream media is questioning Biden. They're all going to come together after their convention, whoever it is, whether it's Biden or someone else, they're going to come together and they're going to be a watch longer. We're at our high watermark now and it's incredibly important. We don't get complacent. Yeah. We stay focused. We talk about the issues and we run, we get the ball across the finish line. Yeah. I agree with you. You know, we're near, you know, the final touchdown and final win, you know, lots of work still to do beyond this week. Well, John, I appreciate you. Thank you so much.
