COURSE, THANKS TO A AIR AND OMAR FOR JOINING MAYBE WE'LL SEE YOU AGAIN IN JUST A BIT.

OF COURSE, BUT FOR MORE ANALYSIS ON THE SECOND NIGHT OF THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION, WE'RE JOINED NOW BY ERIC NESBITT NESBITT AGAIN, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE.

POLICY ANALYSIS AND COMMUNICATIONS PROFESSOR AT NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY.

SO TONIGHT'S THEME, WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT IT A BIT.

MAKE AMERICA SAFE ONCE AGAIN.

WHAT DID YOU HEAR TONIGHT?

WELL, REALLY IT WAS REALLY MORE ABOUT IMMIGRATION WITH CRIME SUBSERVIENT TO THAT RIGHT?

SO IT'S REALLY ABOUT CRIME IS ONLY SECONDARY.

IMMIGRATION IS FRONT AND CENTER WAS ABOUT THE SO-CALLED INVASION ACROSS THE BORDER.

AND THEY REALLY PUT OUT THEY HAD STORIES AND POLICY INTER WATT INTERTWINED TO BASICALLY PROVIDE SERVE THIS CONTEXT THAT IMMIGRATION IS THE FOREMOST PROBLEM WE NEED TO DEAL RIGHT, WHICH IS PRETTY MUCH HAS TRUMPS LOGIC SINCE 2016, I THOUGHT IT WAS A PRETTY DECENT SIZE DEPARTURE, BUT ALSO EVIDENCE OF THE SHIFT OF THE PARTY THAT ONCE UPON A TIME SORT YOU KNOW, THE CRIME AND PUNISHMENT TOUGH ON CRIME KIND OF RHETORIC THAT WE TYPICALLY HEAR ON THE PUBLIC SAFETY THAT THAT WAS NOT THE MESSAGING THAT WE HEARD TONIGHT.

I THOUGHT THAT WAS A DEPARTURE FROM WHAT WE USUALLY HEAR FROM THE PUBLIC CRIME IS SIMPLY USED AS A MEANS TO MAKE ARGUMENT ABOUT IMMIGRATION.

ALL RIGHT.

AND, YOU KNOW, THEY MAKE CLAIMS ABOUT IMMIGRATION FORTUNE NOT BASED ON FACT.

ALL RIGHT.

AND THEY ONE.

MIGRANTS ACTUALLY COMMIT LESS CRIME.

THAT'S LIKELY BEING PRESENT ACTUALLY DRIVE ECONOMIC GROWTH.

AND THESE ARE THINGS THAT ARE SORT OF JUST IT'S A OPPOSITE OF WHAT THEY RECOMMEND GETTING TONIGHT.

AND YOU YOU MENTION ONE FACT CHECK.

YOU KNOW WHAT, WHAT IS THERE TRUTH ALL THEIR ARGUMENTS ABOUT IMMIGRANTS IN THE UNITED STATES?

NOT BASIS THAT DISTANCE?

YOU KNOW, IF YOU ACTUALLY LOOK AT THE ACTUAL HARD EVIDENCE, NOT, YOU KNOW, KNOWING THE STORIES ARE SHARED TONIGHT, WHICH ARE TRAGIC.

ALL RIGHT.

AND THOSE ARE PERSONAL STORIES, BUT THEY'RE NOT ACTUALLY REPRESENTATIVE OF THE ACTUAL DATA WHEN IT COMES TO CRIME AND IMMIGRATION, ECONOMIC GROWTH AND IMMIGRATION.

AND LISTEN, WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ACTUALLY PASS A LAW LAST YEAR THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A COMPROMISE DEMOCRATS, REPUBLICANS TO DEAL WITH IMMIGRATION, GAVE SOMETHING BOTH PARTIES TRUMP SCUTTLED AND HE'S CALLED BECAUSE I WOULDN'T GET TAKEN AWAY.

HIS NUMBER ONE ISSUE THAT HE'S CAMPAIGNING OUT RIGHT NOW.

A COUPLE YOU KNOW, DRAMATIC OBVIOUSLY THERE THE ONE WE HEARD THE SO-CALLED EVERYDAY AMERICAN MOM GAME AND AND FUN ARE SPEAKING ABOUT LOSING HER TEENAGE SON TO FENTANYL, LEAST OPIOIDS COUPLE OF YEARS AGO BLAMING ANYONE THAT SUPPORTS OPEN BORDERS FOR HIS DEATH.

YOU KNOW, BECAUSE OPEN WATERS ARE THE SOURCE OF THE ANOTHER ONE.

ANOTHER MOM, THOUGH, IS YOU SORT OF HAD A DIFFERENT POSITION, MADELINE, BRAME AND ACTIVISTS IN A MOTHER WHO LOST HER WHO WAS A VETERAN TO A STABBING IN NEW YORK.

SHE CALLED OUT THE PROSECUTORS, INCLUDING THIS IS THE ONE INSTANCE WHERE WE DID HEAR CHICAGO GETTING NAME CHECK WHERE SHE CALLED COOK COUNTY STATE'S ATTORNEY KIM FOXX.

THERE WAS A BIT OF THE BACK.

THE BLUE.

DID YOU EXPECT TO HEAR MORE OR, YOU KNOW, WHAT DID YOU HEAR OF THE SORT OF SUPPORTING THE POLICE OPPOSITION TO DEFUNDING THE POLICE ARGUMENTS?

IT WAS IT WAS BARELY THERE.

I MEAN, THEY HAD A POLICE OFFICER ON, BUT THE MOST HORRIBLE STORIES WITH THE STORIES FROM PEOPLE WHO HAD LOST LOVED ONES LINKED TO IMMIGRATION.

RIGHT WHEN THAT MOTHERS TALKED ABOUT HER BOSTON DRUGS, PEOPLE ARE STANDING UP AND CRYING AS A POWERFUL MOMENT.

AND THAT'S WHAT POLICE ARE CUT SOME OF THE CLOUD OF THE MESSAGES.

AND THAT WAS A POWERFUL MOMENT.

YOU KNOW, WE HEARD A COLLEAGUE THAT PBS NEWS HOUR JUST A MOMENT AGO, REFERRING TO THE SPEECHES FROM SENATOR MARCO RUBIO.

AMBASSADOR NIKKI HALEY.

BUT OTHERWISE IT WAS SORT OF A CHILL NIGHT.

IT SEEMED APPROVE BROAD A BIT OF, YOU KNOW, MIGRANTS ARE COMING TO RAPE YOUR WOMEN MOMENT, WHICH IS VERY HARD BACK TO SOME OF THE VERY RACIST RHETORIC HAD HISTORICALLY IN OUR COUNTRY BUT OVERALL, I THINK THEY START WANTED SHOW THEY WANTED A HUMAN ICE.

TRUMP.

THEY DIDN'T.

YOU WANTED SOME INTEREST BUT NO DRAMA.

HE THREW OUT SOME RED MEAT TO THE BASE ON THESE ISSUES.

THEY BROUGHT IN A MARCO RUBIO AND NIKKI HALEY TO BE SORT OF THIS TRANSITIONAL BRIDGE SERVE ALMOST THEY HAD LAURA TRIPS AND THE NIGHT POSITIVE THING.

THEY'RE MAKING IT CLEAR THAT THEY'RE KIND OF COMFORTABLE IN THIS POSITION AS THE PARTY OF TRUMP AND THEY DON'T HAVE TO FIGHT QUITE AS MUCH.

VERY COMFORTABLE.

YEAH, THAT PINK PANTS.

I MEAN, THEY THERE WON'T LISTEN THEIR HEAD IN THE POLLS.

THEY HAVE MATCHED ON DONATIONS RIGHT?

THEY FEEL
