FIRST, WE'VE GOT SOME MORE ANALYSIS OF THE 3RD NIGHT OF THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

WE'RE JOINED AGAIN BY ERIC NEWS, THAT POLICY ANALYSIS AND COMMUNICATIONS PROFESSOR AT NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY.

THANK YOU AGAIN FOR JOINING TONIGHT.

SO TONIGHT'S THEME, MAKE AMERICA STRONG AGAIN, FOCUSING ON FOREIGN POLICY FOR MOST PART LITTLE BIT, BUT NOT ENTIRELY A LITTLE BIT.

YES.

WHAT DID YOU HEAR TONIGHT?

WELL, IT'S INTERESTING.

THE BIG GAME TONIGHT WAS AGAIN, IMMIGRATION.

WE TALK ABOUT HOW IT WAS MORE IMMIGRATION AND CRIME LAST NIGHT.

IT WAS REALLY IMMIGRATION IN TERMS OF FOREIGN POLICY START OF THE INVASION NARRATIVE LINKING IT TO CHINA, DRUGS.

THEN THEY SHIFTED OVER TO THE GOLD STAR FAMILIES, AFGHANISTAN, ENERGY INDEPENDENCE AND THEN SERVE ENDED WITH A FOREIGN POLICY IN TERMS OF TRADE THAT'S A STORY ABOUT NAFTA, FOR EXAMPLE, HOW IT HIS THE PEOPLE AROUND HIM, HIS COMMUNITY AND HIM PERSONALLY.

YEAH, HIS FAMILY AND HIS PERSONAL STORY.

LET'S I GUESS A LITTLE BIT OF FACT CHECKING ON BECAUSE THEY HAVE SAID THAT, YOU KNOW, WITH THE REPUBLICANS ARE SAYING THAT WARS WERE STARTED UNDER BIDEN WHEN THEY WERE NOT.

THAT RIGHT UNDER TRUMP AND BLAMED BIDEN FOR THE BOTCHED AFGHANISTAN WITHDRAWAL, ENABLING IRAN FAILING TO BRING HOME THE ISRAELI HOSTAGES WHO WERE TRAPPED GAZA.

SHOULD BRING THAT UP FOR US HOUSE.

HOW WEARING A LOT BIDEN, RIGHT?

I MEAN.

AFGHANISTAN, AFGHANISTAN WITHDRAWAL IS PROBABLY A TURNING POINT FOR BIDEN IN A SENSE THAT THE MESSINESS, THE LOSS OF LIVES, IT REALLY DID SHIFT SOME NARRATIVES AROUND BY BECAUSE BIDEN CAME IN AS FOREIGN POLICY WAS HIS THING.

THAT WAS EXPERT IS GOING MANAGE CRISES AT THE SAME TIME THAT WHOLE CRISES WAS SET UP BY THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION.

THEY NEGOTIATED WITHDRAWAL THAT TIME FRAME.

AND SO REALLY THE SHERIFF HAVE SHARED RESPONSIBILITY FOR HOW THAT ENDED THESE OTHER CRISES.

YOU KNOW, BIDEN HAS BEEN STRONG AND HE'S, YOU KNOW, HE'S BEEN A STRONG SUPPORTER OF ISRAEL.

OBVIOUSLY, HE'S GOT A LOT OF FLAK WITHIN HIS OWN PARTY FOR HIS POSITION ON ISRAEL.

AND SO THAT IS THAT YOU CAN'T REALLY LIE AT BY FEET.

WHAT'S HAPPENING IN ISRAEL?

HE'S DONE A LOT TO HELP SUPPORT ISRAEL AND BRING THE HOSTAGES HOME AND SUPPORT.

AS YOU LOOK AT SOME US.

IT ARE ALSO SORT OF THE POSITIONING TRUMP, AS YOU KNOW, OTHER COUNTRIES WON'T CREATE WARS OR START CONFLICTS.

RILEY, OUT OF RESPECT OR OF UNITED STATES UNDER PRESIDENT.

AND THAT'S NOT REALISTIC.

RUSSIA WOULD INVADED UKRAINE REGARDLESS OF WHETHER IT WAS TRUMP OR BIDEN.

RIGHT.

TRUMP WOULD NOT STOP THAT WHAT HAPPENED?

THE HAMAS ATTACK ON ISRAEL.

WHAT HAPPENED, WHETHER IT WAS TRUMP OR BIDEN?

SO IT'S NOT REALLY REALISTIC TO THINK THAT OTHER COUNTRIES ARE GOING TO SUDDENLY STOP BEING AGGRESSIVE, BEATING OTHERS, STOP ATTACKING OTHERS.

IT'S SIMPLY HAVE A CHANGE IN PRESIDENCY.

THAT'S NOT HOW THE WORLD WORKS.

LET'S TALK A LITTLE BIT SENATOR JD VANCE.

FIRST OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO HEAR FROM HIM AS THE VICE PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE.

WHAT WERE YOUR THOUGHTS ON HIS SPEECH?

HIS SPEECH?

I MEAN, EARLIER NIGHT, THE RHETORIC IS MORE HEATED.

HIS SPEECH WAS NOT I ONE COMMENTATOR DESCRIBED AS MEAT POTATOES, RATHER THE RED MEAT.

IT WAS A LITTLE LOWER ENERGY THAT I THOUGHT IT WOULD SO I WAS SURPRISED BY THAT.

I THOUGHT TO BE MORE ENERGY, MORE ENTHUSIASM.

AT THE SAME TIME HE LAID OUT HIS BIO, WHICH IS IMPORTANT TO DO SOME SELF TO THE NATION.

HE TRIED TO LINK THE IMPACT, THE NEGATIVE IMPACTS WE'VE SEEN IN THE MIDWEST ON MANUFACTURING AND OTHER FACTORS DIRECTLY TO BIDEN AND HIS RE POPULIST RIGHT IS BLAMING THE LEAVING THE BUREAUCRATS.

WE HEARD THAT SOME OTHER SPEECHES, RIGHT?

AND THAT REALLY IS THE VISION THAT HE EMBRACES.

WHAT WHAT DO YOU THINK THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL LOOK LIKE GOING FORWARD FOR HIM?

WHAT ELSE GOING HEAR FROM HIM AND I AND HE IS KIND RESISTED SAYING AGREEING TO A DEBATE WITH THE DEMOCRATS AND UNTIL THE DEMOCRATS KNOW WHO THEIR NOMINEE BEING LOCATION GUY WHO THEY'RE TRYING SEE NEW 8, THAT MIGHT NOT BE JOE BIDEN, THE HEAD OF THE TICKET.

INVEST HE CAN'T COMMIT TO MEETING TOMORROW HIRES.

I THEY'RE GOING TO REALLY ROLL HIM OUT IN THE MIDWEST RIGHT?

BATTLEGROUND STATES, WISCONSIN, MICHIGAN, PENNSYLVANIA.

HE IS A SAFE CHOICE IN THE SENSE MAYBE MORE OF A CONFIDENCE CHOICE LIKE TRUMP FEELS CONFIDENT HE LIKES WHERE IS IN THE RACE RIGHT NOW.

THE REPUBLICANS THINK THEY'RE GOING TO BE WAY AHEAD.

THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT A LANDSLIDE IN THE FALL.

SO YOU PICK SOMEONE WHO BASICALLY ALLIANCE WITH HIS IDEOLOGY AND YOU CAN ROLL OUT AND SPEAK TO THOSE LIKE THE BASE.

IT SEEMS TO BE THE HE'S THE BECAUSE HE REPRESENTS THE BASE, RIGHT?

HE IS.

HE IS THE MAN WHO REPRESENTS SO MANY OF TRUMP SUPPORTERS WHO ARE LIKE HIM AND MAYBE COME FROM, YOU KNOW, COMMUNITIES LIKE HIS VERSUS TRUMP, WHO WHO IS IS A WEALTHY MAN AND GREW UP.

DEFINITELY.

AND THE OTHER THING THAT HE BRINGS TO THE TABLE IS HE'S A SMART GUY.

HE CAN LAY OUT IF HE'S GOING TO BASICALLY MOVE FORWARD TRUMPS IDEOLOGY, RIGHT?

HE'S GOING TO BASICALLY PUT IT TOGETHER IN A COHESIVE
