Talk over a mediterranean dispute but says it wont accept any preconditions from greece. And a historic day for africa as the continent is declared free of the virus that causes polio. Welcome to the program the mother of a black man shot multiple times in the back by police in the u. S. City is calling for unity car and justice a state of emergency is now in place in can osha have to 2 nights of protests and the burning of many buildings but jacob blakes mother has appealed for the destruction to stop saying its not something he would want to see the 29 year old was shot after walking away from police to his s. U. V. His 3 young sons were inside hes are paralyzed from the waist down and the familys lawyer says it will take a miracle for him to walk again. Accuse the police of attempted murder. They. Find. He didnt matter. But my son murdered. Hes a human being and he batters. Please. Lets begin to pray for healing for our nation. We are the United States have we been united. You understand whats going to happen. When we fall because our house. To all the Police Officers im praying for you. To lend. There were several members of jacob blakes family who came here to speak this is the 1st time weve seen them come out publicly and express their concern over what has happened one of his sisters came out and she said shes all cried out even before this incident happened because theres been so many shootings of unarmed black men by police and we do believe he was unarmed although we cant confirm that. She said at this point i dont want pity i just want action. And there was a chill for a moment when one of the lawyers was talking about how so i could psychologically damage those 3 boys who were in the car at the time when blake was shot might be and the fact that they might need treatment for the rest of their lives and that the father of blake their grandfather burst out in sobs and had to be walked away and then blakes mother came out Julia Jackson is her name and she was powerful but very calm and day she said on her way driving into the town she saw the devastation there were 37 fires to which firefighters responded last night whole blocks have been decimated met just one night and this is now night 3 of the protests and she said that is not what her son would have wanted. To impose again address the Republican National convention 2nd day go to the way he wanted a full pardon to a full mccoll that he founded an organization to help released prisoners. Who will be headlining the speakers for the day. Has been criticized for getting involved in the campaign while serving as the u. S. Chief diplomat. Those join our white house correspond complete how to use following the convention for the really the headline act is Melania Trump and pay 0 but composer inclusion raising a few eyebrows yeah it is because just weeks ago he issued a diplomatic cable to some of the members of the state Department Around the world noting that it was in violation of federal law to be overtly partisan so it is a bit of a surprise that we now see the u. S. Secretary of state making an appearance at the Republican National convention in fact he is breaking with convention when it comes to the traditions of past secretaries of state so yeah this is something that has not sit well with a number of americans that is one of the speeches that were watching for but as well the marquee speaker will be the 1st lady malani a trump who will be reaching out to female voters in the United States where the president has been losing support arguing that her husband deserves a 2nd term of course kimberly we we have a range of speakers some award spoken but weve been seeing some a unique statements to the American People talking about someone praising the president s take all on many subjects from security to the economy. Yeah i dont want that were watching play out right now as im looking on my monitor and i think you might be seeing the same thing is another one of the sort of made for t. V. Moments that the president is injecting himself into in the Republican National convention what this is is naturalization ceremonies we call the United States this is where those who have come to the United States from other countries are gaining their citizenship now of course donald trump has been hit hard on some of his in my immigration policies many saying that his america 1st agenda points based system has been and hes been accused of being racist and selectionist and even favoring the white race at times with this policy so this is an example for the u. S. President to tout what he sees as his policies being equal opportunity as i look at the screen i can see that there are a number of new citizens of color and this is important to note because what we usually see president s laying low in conventions really just showing up on the final night donald trump is repeatedly injecting himself into these conventions and i guess that is sort of not surprising given the fact that hes a reality t. V. Star and he is very adept at producing these made for t. V. Moments because this is the 2nd one this evening that were seeing playing out at the convention the fact that not only has he had a citizenship ceremony in the middle of a convention but as you mentioned at the opening of the show he also pardoned a convicted felon someone who has dedicated his life to rehabilitating others so donald trump knows how to produce a Television Moment and hes using that skill to tout some of the policies of his administration particularly some that have maybe been less flattering into the welcome book to kimberly and when the 1st lady speaks and we can be a White House Correspondent people must join jason see. A republican strategist and former chairman of the young Republican National federation joins me from maryville in tennessee good to have you with a certain mr emmott i mean the Top Administration really does like to break protocol some traditional were seeing that certainly this convention and the appearance in hopefully within the next hour of the secretary of states pre recorded video message from israel is this going to sort of upset the apple cart amongst the rank and file of the g.

O. P. Loyalists all the public heart have any bearing on the election because really the President Trumps base is very much its base and they listen to President Trump not to the secretary of state well i think thats a great question that they want to Foreign Policy goals are there really hasnt much and theyre really really trying to help relations.

Immigrants of course that came to the us within the last decade or so and are now fully fledged american citizens we have of course jason abbott republican strategist listing in sorry to have broken into our conversation just a moment ago jason we were talking about perfect t. V. Moments and thats one of the type of t. V. Moments that the president is hoping will resonate to rather disillusion to American Public especially when it comes to you might say ticking the box is that a subject that have been so very controversial during his presidency in his 1st term which is immigration and accusations of racism there he has shown or hes trying to show that hes the president for all americans. You know i think with you steamboat vote win last night in your mind is that he might have a problem problem on his response we coronavirus as well as criminal Justice Reform and on and on immigration and so they really highlighted last night were they put out a video heres what we coronavirus code response earlier our new young. We need a new they arent you can win now have an immigration and natural Immigration Services are over i think those are issues that he certainly had trouble among articulating people around the country and so right now able to have used the breaking news moments are. Used to show a different character or tray by a meal and one of the real problems he has been facing though hasnt in terms of policy is as you suggested you know the 1000 pandemic and unemployment thats come with that this is a president who every opportunity in his early part of the presidency was saying how much hes built up the economy this is a huge disaster that hes trying to recover from before early november. Its a struggle for not just the president but were going to cross the street but really the response and interfere going to have people around the nation during this time some sort of just out of your control whether youre a governor or here and its going to be how you respond if a 1000 people are going to remember the most and right now hes campaigning on that free. Economy which we can debate whether or not how strong that was you just go buy a stock market and you want to use terror grow the economy and stock market i dont you certainly cant but it was strong but once we got into the end game it or it seemed like a house of cards and now were back out of that also now and we really are not improvising we were in there and people were struggling really needed anything. Did you notice that that was also the theme of People Like UsAmbassador Nikki Haley and also the South Carolina said to tim scott who were betraying him on the 1st nights of the 1st day of the convention as somebody you can trust somebody who is and. Has the empathy towards the American People at a time or of great distress it hes got to turn the tide his polling figures are in the sort of mid to low thirtys talking to one analyst less than 24 hours ago he said to me that President Trump has to try and get his figures into the mid fortys to have a chance of reelection to have a chance of getting back into office. You know me i think fortys or lower i mean look you know in 2016th president john louis won by about 80000 both spread apart cross through different states and now he needs to add that little Political Party and certain i. Run a broader array of policies that he wants a champion is going to be able to alarm that 1st night it really was about knowing that i think we all understand arts which is about mission and not traction. It was kind of like it and if youre republican post one equally who 24. 00 once theyre going to look like one nikki haley. And another people like charlie character or matt gates or who are best leader from you of america and the policies that will solve our problems the deciduous in getting your insight chase and the structure just with informally with the young Republican NationalFederation Good to have you with us on from maryville in tennessee maybe so much for having me.
