The twenty twenty four Republican National Convention begins tonight in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where former President Donald Trump will accept the GOP presidential nomination. Trump arrived in Wisconsin Sunday night after he survived the assassination Saturday afternoon in Pennsylvania. The Secret Service said there are no operational changes for the RNC. According to the Associated Press, however, the Secret Service has implemented changes to Donald Trump's security detail since Saturday's assassination attempt to quote ensure his continued protection for the convention and the remainder of the campaign end quote.

Into any of that, I couldn't wait to talk to this man right here because I wanted to know his thoughts immediately upon seeing what transpired this Saturday afternoon. He is the host of cuonmo On News Nation. My buddy, the one and only, Chris Clonomo is here with me right now. What's going on is how are you?

Man?

Man?

I am. There's a struggle connected to this. This is very heavy, This was very scary. The nation dodged a bullet, not just Donald Trump. I don't even want to think about what the level of discussion would be, what the level of animus would be, what the level of hostility retaliation would be if there had been a God forbid that was an extreme consequence.

I really appreciated and I hope your audience does as well what you were saying before. We understand how we got here. We got here because this is what's easier for the two party system. It's easier to say the other side is worse. It's easier to play to the fringes. Works for clicks, it works for polling, works for the media very well, and it works for the primary structure, which is where the parties get their power at the state level, really not at the federal level. So that's how it got here. Because easier easier for the parties to say which is worse, to do all of this, to never do this and compromise cooperation. That's hard, comparing ideas, that's hard. Scaring you by being a threat to the democracy, scaring you by saying that you're destroying America's fabric, depending on which side you want to listen to, this is easier.

The man was just shot in the head, right, Okay, So I don't know what that did to him personally. I can't imagine how I would process it. But the platitudes of there's no place for violence in our politics. We wish him a recovery. Let's remember what Eric is about. That's all platitudes. It's all bullshit.

And people on the left who want to play stupid games about it being something else sound like what they say they oppose, which is the righty fringe with their crazy conspiracies. So my point is this JD vance is not a good sign that Trump has decided to become a transcendent figure because of what he lived through and the opportunity was there to shift from stoking the fury of the few to connecting to the many.

But you heard me earlier talking about the politicians and the pundits, and I said, you know the issues, and you know, you know, I brought up Donna Brazil, who I have profound respect for and has been around a long time. But I'm not really pointing the figure at her. I'm just using her to crystallize the point that I was trying to make because of what I saw talking to us about how these are your brothers and these are your sisters on the opposite side of the island, stuff like that. And she's historically a very reasonable person, so I'm certainly not questioning her. But I guess what I'm saying is there are too many people that are political pundits.

But before I'll let you get on out of here. Just today it was announced that the Trump's Marrol Lago classified documents case was dismissed. I made the argument that while the Capitol riots and the twenty twenty election is still pending, while the Georgia twenty twenty election interference case is still pending, I don't think there's a prosecutor alive that can bring him into court at this particular moment after what just transpired, and obviously Thursday him being the official GOP nominee instead of the presumptive nominee.

Did Judge Cannon make a good ruling? No, she made a hyper technical ruling that's going to lose on appeal because the idea that special councils are not constitutional is I think a very very simplistic ruling, and it'll play itself out, but that case is.

Certainly be steinyed. Now for the duration of the election.

Last question, Democrats, what can they do at this point to win the election in light of all the momentum? And I hate using that word considering what transpired this weekend because I don't want to come across as remotely insensitive to what nearly happened to the former president. But nevertheless, there's a momentum that he's riding right now because in some people was oys. He's even more of a martyr than he was before this weekend. So what can the Democrats do to get stuff back on track to some degree and make it a competitive thing based on policy against policy as opposed to what we're looking.

At right now.

If Trump doesn't take the moment, meaning he doesn't call the shooter's father and say, hey, listen, I know how you must feel right now, and you are not your son, Let's talk about how you think he may have gotten there. Maybe there's something in it that I can use to talk to other people about their parents, like John Paul the Second did when he got shot. I'm not comparing Trump to a pope, but the magnanimity, the magnanimous.

Nature of that would be huge.

He goes and he doesn't pick vance he picks somebody who could be president right away, because Vance can't be president. He's as much of a problem in that respect as Kamala Harris, if not more, And he only plays to the most vicious aspect of Trump's fringe, which he doesn't need to stoke. Now, the Democrats have an opportunity. If Trump passes it, he gets first dibbs. The man just got shot in the head. He gets first DIBs on making something of this moment because it's defined by what happened to him.

It, and just as the Platitudes just does the minimum, there's a chance for the Democrats to jump in and say, hey, look, we can't be where we are right now. We understand that there's a game that we've been involved in. We got to change the game. We've got to be about what's better for this country, how we get things done. We are not in the business of trading barbs with Donald Trump. Joe Biden is old, but he still knows what's right. And we've got to get things done, and we got to stop fighting. And we're gonna find anybody who wants to be a part of anything like that. That's the only people we're speaking against. We're going to call out the people who want to show us at our worst. There's an opportunity in it, not as much as there is for Trump, not as much as there is for Trump, But there's also an opportunity for us because we are part of it. This People blame the media too much. We're an echo. We're not the voice. We're an echo. But how loud an echo is, how long it resonates, which parts of the spoken message we decide to repeat and communicate. Those are all choices, what we allow, what we disallow. Too many of us play to what works rather than place playing to what's right. And I think there is a moment in this, and I think each one of us has to make a choice about it, about what we say and how we use it and what it means. And I'm gonna do that tonight. I'm gonna do it every night again.

Well, I'm glad you brought that up, because that's where I was going. There's a lot to cover, particularly not just with this particular incident, but also with everything that's going on in the world of politics and beyond. And I'm gonna be watching Quomot News Nation tonight, a PM Easter Standard Time News Nation, the one and only Chris Cuomo. I appreciate you, my man, thank you so much. As always, my brother, I'll talk to you soon and I'll be on this week.
