John Wall joins us now, our GOP chair, Republican Party here in Alabama. I am assuming you are in Milwaukee at the convention. I am sir in Milwaukee and recovering from last night. I did a lot of yelling. So my voice may not be the strongest. I'm afraid I'm going to lose it by the end of the week. Well, I just talked to Senator Katie Britt. And earlier our Secretary of State, Wes Allen, and the energy from everybody this morning. I mean, and I would think America too, that watched that last night, is on a scale of one to ten, a high eleven right now. And I don't know how they top it tonight from all the great performances and in the mood last night with Donald Trump showing up. When Donald Trump walked out onto that floor, the atmosphere, the passion, the emotion in that room was just off the charts. It was an 11 out of 10. And I think you're right. I think this is going to be an incredible week. And ironically, I think when we see Wednesday night, when we see Jay E. Vance here's accepted speech on V.P. and then Thursday when we see Donald Trump, you know, rewriting his speech, coming up with something new. I think we're going to see something really special. I think we already did last night. You could feel a shift with Donald Trump just to the atmosphere, to the motion. And I look, I think we see, I think we see really, really, really special week. I mean, we see a special speech from Donald Trump this week. John, we all watched it on television last night. Talk to me about some things that may have happened that we did not get to see on television because you were there and had a different vantage point. Anything stick out to you that you may have seen or experienced last night that we didn't get to see that you thought, "Wow, this is pretty amazing. What's going on?" You know, I think the main thing would just be the emotion from the crowd. You know, the cameras aren't going to go down there and catch, you know, how people react to the different things. I mean, I'm going to go back to it again because it was just so emotional when Donald Trump, you know, when his face burst, you know, when he landed, you know, when he got backstage and they switched to that camera view, him walking in backstage. The emotion in the audience, every patient, some people crying, some people just screaming and just the passion and the range of emotion. I think that's not something you can put on camera. It was just, it was really incredible. Just look around and people's reaction. You know, I think... Also JD Vance, go ahead. Yeah, JD Vance, when that was announced, you know, and he was out on stage and to see the emotion there for him personally, and then his, especially the Ohio delegation, how excited they were, you know, and then all the crowd, just to finally have a nominee and what a strong, bold, young leader. Just so much passion and so much, so much bold conservatism for our vice president's nominee. Yeah, you know, I mentioned this earlier when they cut to Donald Trump and you saw the white patch on his ear and he's getting ready to come out and he's still in the tunnel. I thought the only thing missing there is a Crimson Tide behind him. It reminded me of Coach Saban coming through the tunnel at Bryan Denny. And then when he's... Right. When he started walking through, I sensed some serious emotion on him in that the moment was so overwhelming what he had just been through, how he's standing there alive and he's about to greet the convention. I really sensed that there were some tears in his eyes or starting to well up and, you know, it just seemed a bit, you know, I mean, just once again, I mean, just the guy being so real last night was impressive to me. It absolutely was. And like I said, I think it's a new... I think we see our gonna see a new Donald Trump in a good way. You know, I think it's just really made it... He was already fighting for our rights and freedom. You know, that's... That's real to him. You know, he is that leader. I think this is gonna bring an emotional side out of him that we may have never seen before from him. And I think it's just gonna make him stronger. Well, I really appreciate you. I think tonight's gonna be amazing too, as Nikki Haley will be there. I don't know how you top from what went on last night, but I'm expecting more great things. So, John, thank you. And we'll talk later in the week. How about that? I'm looking forward to it. All right, John Waller, an Alabama GOP Chairman in Milwaukee at the convention. Hey, everyone. It is Ryan C. Crest here.
