You're listening to later with Moe Kellyon demand from KFI AM six forty.
It's night three of the RNC,the Republican National Convention, and as customary,
on that third night, you wouldhave the vice presidential candidate speak,
and Ohio Senator jd Vance will beclosing out the night. From my notes,
(00:24):
He's will probably talk about his smalltown Ohio upbringing, he will talk
about the American Dream, and hewill obviously talk about where he fits within
the MAGA base that is supposed tocome up sometime around seven point thirty.
We will have his complete remarks uninterruptedwhenever he should begin, so you need
(00:48):
not worry about missing anything that thevice presidential candidate, Senator jd Vance would
have to say tonight. Something elsethat I've noticed about this particular convention.
If you don't watch, you maynot notice how this is different from others.
It's different in this way. Usuallyyour nominee doesn't show up until the
final night when he or she isslated to speak. In this case,
(01:12):
it would be Donald Trump and itwould be tomorrow. But we've seen the
former president at the RNC each nightof the proceedings. Now, whether that
had anything to do with the eventson Saturday. I don't know. Maybe
he had already planned all along tobe seen and in the house each and
every night. We don't know.Maybe when he gives us his remarks tomorrow
(01:34):
night, we can get a betterunderstanding of his mindset. We haven't seen
anything of the former First Lady.Malogna hasn't been seen anywhere. We've seen
other Republican vice presidential hopefuls, peoplewho were originally vying to be the second
part of the ticket, sitting nextto the former president, but we haven't
(01:56):
seen Malaney. We've seen Eric Trump, We've seen or we've seen Tiffany Trump,
We've seen Laura Trump, who's alsospoken at the RNC, but we've
had haven't seen Milanya as of yet. Don't want to read too much into
it, but as far as conventionsgo, it is very unusual to not
have the former first Lady there bythe side of the nominee, the spouse
(02:17):
to whomever it is. You justdon't see that. So hopefully we will
find out something as to her whereaboutsor why she is not in the house
on this evening or any other evening. Maybe she may come tomorrow night.
Maybe that was her understanding that shewas only going to show up the night
in which the nominee, in thiscase, former President Jnald Trump, would
(02:38):
actually address the convention. The onlytime I went to the R and C
was two thousand and eight, andit was in Minneapolis, and it could
be a long day. We're onlyseeing the evening speeches, but there are
afternoon speeches, there are festivities,there are activities, there are things going
on throughout the course of the day. If you should go down media row,
(03:01):
you can see all, I wouldsay, the media personalities. You
get to see all the legislators,all the people that you would normally see
on cable news are just walking around. Everyone is in the house and everyone,
or I should say back in theday. I can't say now given
the events of Saturday, but backin the day you would be able to
(03:22):
talk to just about anyone. Andlet's check in with the R and C.
We have Donald Trump Junior who's nowapproached the microphone, and I don't
think I've ever seen any sequence likewe've had in the last several days.
This is Donald Trump Junior coming out. He's a big proponent of the main
speaker tonight, Senator Jdvence, thevice presidential nominee, the president former president
(03:45):
son Donald Trump, cheer and guy. Before I begin my remarks, I'm
going to do something a little uncharacteristic. Trump is going to give up the
microphone doesn't happen often. You maynever see it again. But I got
a call on Monday morning from ayoung lady who said, Dad, I
(04:11):
want to speak at the RNC.I want to speak at the RNC because
I want America to know what mygrandpa is actually like. So, for
the first time ever on a stage, first time ever giving a speech,
(04:35):
I want to bring out my eldestdaughter and the eldest granddaughter of the President
of the United States, your favoritePresident, Kai Madison Trump Ti Trump to
(04:57):
deliberal remarks. Now, Hi,everyone, my name is Kai Magine Trump.
I am the granddaughter of Donald Trump. I'm speaking today to share the
side of my grandpa that people don'toften see. To me, he's just
(05:19):
a normal grandpa. He gets uscandy and soda when our parents aren't looking.
He always wants to know how we'redoing in school. When I made
the high honor roll, he printedit out to show his friends how proud
he was on me, and hecalls me during the middle of the school
(05:45):
day to ask how my golf gameis going and tells me all about his.
But then I have to remind himthat I'm in school and I'll have
to call him back later when weplayed golf together. If I'm not his
team, He'll try to get insideof my head. I know, and
(06:08):
he's always surprised that I don't lethim get to me. But I have
to remind him I'm a trump too. Even when he's going through all these
(06:29):
court cases, he always asks mehow I'm doing. He always encourages me
to push myself to be the mostsuccessful person I can be. Obviously,
he sets the bar pretty high,but who knows, maybe one day I'll
catch him. On Saturday. Iwas shocked when I heard that he has
(06:53):
been shot, and I just wantto know if he was okay. It
was heartbreaking that someone would do thatto another person. A lot of people
have put my grandpa through hell andhe's still standing. Grandpa, you are
(07:19):
such an inspiration and I love you. The media makes my grandpa seem like
a different person, but I knowhim for who he is. He's very
caring and loving. He truly wantsthe best for this country, and he
(07:42):
will fight every single day to makeAmerica great again. Thank you very much.
It's Later with Moe Kelly. We'relive everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.
We're continuing to follow the RNC waitingfor the eventual speech of the vice presidential
candidate, Senator jd Vance. You'relistening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand
(08:03):
from KFI AM six forty. It'sall about the r NC tonight. In
fact, let's go back to theRNC as Donald Trump Junior is speaking faintly
withdraw from Afghanistan. They lied aboutBiden being a quote moderate, and they
told one NonStop lie after another aboutmy father. But they could only run
(08:31):
away from reality for so long.All hell has broken loose in America and
it's impossible to hide anymore. Remember, build back better, Instead we got
broke, bumbling Biden. Nothing isbuilt, nothing is back, and nothing
(08:56):
is better. Bridges are collapsing,our credibility is crumbling, and our money
is worth less and less every singleday. It was just one giant bait
and switch, and normal Americans arethe ones left holding the bag. Housing
(09:20):
costs, gasoline prices grocery bills justkeep going up. Wave after wave of
illegal aliens, deadly drugs keep pouringacross our border. Meanwhile, pro crime
district attorneys have turned our cities intogiant crime zones. They've turned criminals into
(09:41):
victims, prosecutors into criminal defense attorneys, and police into public enemies. Left
wing activists are pretending to be educators, teaching our kids that there are fifty
seven genders, but they can't evendefine what a woman is. On one
(10:01):
hand, they think free speech protectstheir right to expose your children to explicit
drag shows. On the other hand, they want to put you in jail
for making a meme. Yeah,it's like the entire world has been turned
upside down? Yeah, does anyof this sound like a country that's going
(10:22):
in the right direction? And honestly, who is actually running the country anyway?
It's obviously not Joe Biden. Sowho are they asking us to elect?
Seriously, who's running things? Doesanyone really know? Is it Jill
(10:52):
Is it a hunter? Barack Obama? Maybe it's the ghost of corn Pop.
Whoever is running the show. Theonly thing they are effective at is
persecuting my father. They twisted,contorted and corrupted the criminal code to turn
(11:18):
bookkeeping airs into fenalties. They concoctednew legal theories out of thin air.
They imposed gag orders of my fatherbecause the last thing a defendant should be
able to do is defend himself.Right, They punished him for merely speaking
the truth. They say they hateVladimir Putin, but it sure seems like
(11:39):
they've spent a lot of time copyinghis playbook. In this country, we
don't criminalize political differences. We debatethem, we vote on them, but
we don't make huge shoes between pickinga party or picking a jail. Sell
(12:07):
There was a time when the Democratsreally wanted what was best for America,
even if they had a different wayof getting there. It was the party
of Franklin Roosevelt, John F.Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr. You
may have disagreed with that party,but at least you could respect it.
But this new extreme Democrat party theywant us to somehow believe that the only
(12:31):
way forward is going backwards, wherehiring decisions are based solely on race,
where justice is only for those withthe right opinions, where streets are a
luxury only for the elite, whereeconomic opportunity exists only when you know the
right people. Right now, theAmerica we all grew up with, the
(12:56):
America that we love, feels likean old photograph where you sit down with
your children and tell them what lifeused to be like. You look back
at that America and remember a countrythat was confident and proud, and America
that knew who it was and whatit stood for, and it could all
(13:18):
feel like a distant memory. Somewherealong the way we stumbled. Somewhere along
the way we lost ourselves. Butwe can't live on nostalgia. Yes,
America was great, but our greatestdays are yet to come. Because no
(13:52):
matter how far off that old photomay feel, it's not the end of
our story. Where that man whostood on that platform and felt the bullet
pierce his flesh just days ago inPennsylvania, he may have moved to the
ground, but he stood back up. And when he did, my father
(14:26):
raised his fist into the air.He looked out at the crowd, and
what did he say? And wewill fight. We will fight. We
(14:58):
will fight with our voices, wewill fight with our ideas, and in
November fifth, we will fight withour vote. I've always been proud of
him, but I've never been prouderof my father than I was in that
(15:22):
moment. That's when the world foundout that there is tough, and then
there's Trump tough. And the goodnews is America is Trump tough. In
(16:10):
nineteen twelve, more than a centuryago, another legendary Republican president came right
here to Milwaukee at a political rallyless than one mile from where we stand.
Tonight, Teddy Roosevelt was struck byit would be assassin's bullet, but
he didn't quit either. He finishedhis speech and he kept fighting. My
(16:37):
friends, I don't believe in coincidences, but I do believe in God's plan.
Today, Teddy Roosevelt's man in thearena has a name, and it's
(17:02):
Donald J. Trump. It's Laterwith Moll Kelly. We have to take
a quick break, and we expectSenator JD. Vance, who will be
speaking shortly as he accepts the nominationas vice presidential candidate for the Republican Party.
You're listening to Later with Moe Kellyon demand from KFI AM six forty,
(17:23):
and we are continuing to follow theRNC. Donald Trump Junior finished his
remarks, and I believe that OhioSenator JD Vance is next on the slate.
Something I did notice. I startedthe show this evening talking about how
this RNC is very it's non traditional, it's very very different. If you
(17:52):
know political conventions how they run customarily, you will have if you have like
a two term ex president, youalways want to make sure that he is
in the audience. He usually bringsremarks, He usually tries to galvanize and
unify the party. But you won'tsee former President George W. Bush,
you won't see former Vice President MikePince. You won't see just about anyone
(18:17):
of the previous administration, the previousTrump administration in the House. That's just
something you didn't ever see because youalways wanted to show some continuity with the
party. But the party now isfirmly behind Donald Trump and is not the
Republican Party of ten years ago oreven twenty years ago. It is decidedly
(18:40):
different in that regard. But weare still waiting to see whether former President
Trump will deliver some sort of shortremark because it's not unusual for there to
be an introduction of the vice presidentialcandidate and nominee we know that former President
Trump is in the House. He'sbeen in the House all throughout the convention.
(19:06):
His presence has loomed large. Rightnow, there's a what they call
a two shot. You can seeformer President Trump. Depending on what channel
you may be watching this, he'stalking to former Congressman Devin Nunez about whatever.
But I've noticed the placement each night, they've had different powerful Republican officials
or personalities within the parties sitting rightnext to Donald Trump. Tonight they have
(19:32):
Governor Doug Bergham who's sitting on oneside and Congressman Devin Nunez on another.
I noticed that Tucker Carlson was twoseats down from him a few nights ago,
and those seat occupants have changed eachnight. Obviously, all of this
is scripted in the sense that theyknow that there are cameras on that area,
(19:52):
and their cameras just sitting on ittrained on that area throughout the whole
night, so you will see differentnames and face is throughout the week.
To connote a degree of unity withinthe party, a unity of ideology,
because when you talk about conservative nowit varies amongst just Republicans. It's one
(20:15):
thing to say, oh, he'sa Republican, she's a Republican. No,
the idea of conservatism has changed considerablyin the past few years, and
the whole idea of a rhino haschanged. I remember when a rhino was
someone who didn't support the conservative idealsof a decade ago or two decades ago.
(20:37):
Now it's just if you don't supportDonald Trump, if you could be
opposing him in the primary, ifyou could have an ideological difference with Donald
Trump, you're often considered a rhino, a Republican in name only. And
that is a new phenomenon to me, because usually you knew the Republican ideology
and the conservative ideology did not centeraround a particular person. It would usually
(21:03):
had to do with a party platformand had to do with party ideals and
party strategy. It had to dowith possible legislators that you would want to
elect on a state level or thefederal judiciary. As you saw with what
Mitch McConnell was doing for the pastthirty years, who I would say is
the architect of what you see todayon the Supreme Court. And to see
(21:29):
many Republicans call him a rhino islaugh out loud, funny. To me,
because Donald Trump would not be inthe situation and position that he's in
today in the sense of having sucha strong Supreme Court favored to his political
ideology, if it were not forMitch McConnell. But that's the complex sense
(21:52):
of how the Republican Party has gonethrough a change in the past few years,
and how I would say the peoplewho were conc centered, staunch Republicans,
like the Dick Cheneys of the worldten fifteen years ago, they would
be considered rhinos today. That's howmuch the Republican Party has changed. That's
how much the world has changed.And I think looking at Milwaukee, they're
(22:14):
getting ready for Senator JD. Vance. He may not be coming up next.
I'm trying to see who was comingto the podium at this point.
Oh, this is Senator Van's wife. Good evening, Good evening. When
(22:42):
I was asked to introduce my husband, Jadie Vance to all of you,
I was at a loss. Whatcould I say that hasn't already been said
before? After all, the manwas already the subject of Ron Howard movie.
Jd has shared much of his lifethrough his own eloquent words in his
(23:06):
book He'llbilly elogy during his Senate campaignand now as a City United States Senator,
it occurred to me that there wasonly one thing to do to explain
from the heart why I love andadmire JD and stand here beside him today,
(23:26):
and why he will make a greatVice President of the United States.
I met JD in law school whenhe was fresh out of Ohio State,
which he attended with the support ofthe Gi Bill. We were friends first,
(23:47):
because I mean, who wouldn't wantto be friends with JD. He
was then as now, the mostinteresting person I knew, a working class
guy who had overcome childhood traumas thatI could barely fathom to end up at
Yale Law School, a tough marinewho had served in Irat, but whose
idea of a good time was playingwith puppies and watching the movie Babe.
(24:15):
The most determined person I knew,with one overriding ambition to become a husband
and a father and to build thekind of tight knit family that he had
longed for as a child. Mybackground is very different from JD's. I
grew up in San Diego in amiddle class community with two loving parents,
(24:42):
both immigrants from India, and awonderful sister that Jad and I could meet
at all, let alone fall inlove and Mary is a testament to this
great country. It is also atestament to JD, and it tells you
(25:07):
something about who he is. WhenJD met me, he approached our differences
with curiosity and enthusiasm. He wantedto know everything about me, where I
came from, what my life hadbeen like. Although he's a meat and
potatoes kind of guy, he adaptedto my vegetarian diet and learned to cook
(25:30):
food from my mother Indian food.Before I knew it, he had become
an integral part of my family,a person I could not meant could not
imagine living without. The JD Iknew then is the same JD you see
today, except for that beard,and his goals in this new role are
(25:55):
the same that he has pursued forour family, to keep people safe,
to create opportunities, to build abetter life, and to solve problems with
an open mind. It's safe tosay that neither JD nor I expected to
find ourselves in this position, butit's hard to imagine a more powerful example
(26:15):
of the American dream. A boyfrom Middletown, Ohio raised by his grandmother
(26:45):
through tough times, chosen to helplead our country through some of its greatest
challenges. I am grateful to allof you for the trust you've placed in
him and in our family. Andwith that is my great privilege to introduce
my husband and the next Vice Presidentof the United States, jd Vance.

there's Trump tough. And the goodnews is America is Trump tough. In
(16:10):
nineteen twelve, more than a centuryago, another legendary Republican president came right
here to Milwaukee at a political rallyless than one mile from where we stand.
Tonight, Teddy Roosevelt was struck byit would be assassin's bullet, but
he didn't quit either. He finishedhis speech and he kept fighting. My
(16:37):
friends, I don't believe in coincidences, but I do believe in God's plan.
Today, Teddy Roosevelt's man in thearena has a name, and it's
(17:02):
Donald J. Trump. It's Laterwith Moll Kelly. We have to take
a quick break, and we expectSenator JD. Vance, who will be
speaking shortly as he accepts the nominationas vice presidential candidate for the Republican Party.
You're listening to Later with Moe Kellyon demand from KFI AM six forty,
(17:23):
and we are continuing to follow theRNC. Donald Trump Junior finished his
remarks, and I believe that OhioSenator JD Vance is next on the slate.
Something I did notice. I startedthe show this evening talking about how
this RNC is very it's non traditional, it's very very different. If you
(17:52):
know political conventions how they run customarily, you will have if you have like
a two term ex president, youalways want to make sure that he is
in the audience. He usually bringsremarks, He usually tries to galvanize and
unify the party. But you won'tsee former President George W. Bush,
you won't see former Vice President MikePince. You won't see just about anyone
(18:17):
of the previous administration, the previousTrump administration in the House. That's just
something you didn't ever see because youalways wanted to show some continuity with the
party. But the party now isfirmly behind Donald Trump and is not the
Republican Party of ten years ago oreven twenty years ago. It is decidedly
(18:40):
different in that regard. But weare still waiting to see whether former President
Trump will deliver some sort of shortremark because it's not unusual for there to
be an introduction of the vice presidentialcandidate and nominee we know that former President
Trump is in the House. He'sbeen in the House all throughout the convention.
(19:06):
His presence has loomed large. Rightnow, there's a what they call
a two shot. You can seeformer President Trump. Depending on what channel
you may be watching this, he'stalking to former Congressman Devin Nunez about whatever.
But I've noticed the placement each night, they've had different powerful Republican officials
or personalities within the parties sitting rightnext to Donald Trump. Tonight they have
(19:32):
Governor Doug Bergham who's sitting on oneside and Congressman Devin Nunez on another.
I noticed that Tucker Carlson was twoseats down from him a few nights ago,
and those seat occupants have changed eachnight. Obviously, all of this
is scripted in the sense that theyknow that there are cameras on that area,
(19:52):
and their cameras just sitting on ittrained on that area throughout the whole
night, so you will see differentnames and face is throughout the week.
To connote a degree of unity withinthe party, a unity of ideology,
because when you talk about conservative nowit varies amongst just Republicans. It's one
(20:15):
thing to say, oh, he'sa Republican, she's a Republican. No,
the idea of conservatism has changed considerablyin the past few years, and
the whole idea of a rhino haschanged. I remember when a rhino was
someone who didn't support the conservative idealsof a decade ago or two decades ago.
(20:37):
Now it's just if you don't supportDonald Trump, if you could be
opposing him in the primary, ifyou could have an ideological difference with Donald
Trump, you're often considered a rhino, a Republican in name only. And
that is a new phenomenon to me, because usually you knew the Republican ideology
and the conservative ideology did not centeraround a particular person. It would usually
(21:03):
had to do with a party platformand had to do with party ideals and
party strategy. It had to dowith possible legislators that you would want to
elect on a state level or thefederal judiciary. As you saw with what
Mitch McConnell was doing for the pastthirty years, who I would say is
the architect of what you see todayon the Supreme Court. And to see
(21:29):
many Republicans call him a rhino islaugh out loud, funny. To me,
because Donald Trump would not be inthe situation and position that he's in
today in the sense of having sucha strong Supreme Court favored to his political
ideology, if it were not forMitch McConnell. But that's the complex sense
(21:52):
of how the Republican Party has gonethrough a change in the past few years,
and how I would say the peoplewho were conc centered, staunch Republicans,
like the Dick Cheneys of the worldten fifteen years ago, they would
be considered rhinos today. That's howmuch the Republican Party has changed. That's
how much the world has changed.And I think looking at Milwaukee, they're
(22:14):
getting ready for Senator JD. Vance. He may not be coming up next.
I'm trying to see who was comingto the podium at this point.
Oh, this is Senator Van's wife. Good evening, Good evening. When
(22:42):
I was asked to introduce my husband, Jadie Vance to all of you,
I was at a loss. Whatcould I say that hasn't already been said
before? After all, the manwas already the subject of Ron Howard movie.
Jd has shared much of his lifethrough his own eloquent words in his
(23:06):
book He'llbilly elogy during his Senate campaignand now as a City United States Senator,
it occurred to me that there wasonly one thing to do to explain
from the heart why I love andadmire JD and stand here beside him today,
(23:26):
and why he will make a greatVice President of the United States.
I met JD in law school whenhe was fresh out of Ohio State,
which he attended with the support ofthe Gi Bill. We were friends first,
(23:47):
because I mean, who wouldn't wantto be friends with JD. He
was then as now, the mostinteresting person I knew, a working class
guy who had overcome childhood traumas thatI could barely fathom to end up at
Yale Law School, a tough marinewho had served in Irat, but whose
idea of a good time was playingwith puppies and watching the movie Babe.
(24:15):
The most determined person I knew,with one overriding ambition to become a husband
and a father and to build thekind of tight knit family that he had
longed for as a child. Mybackground is very different from JD's. I
grew up in San Diego in amiddle class community with two loving parents,
(24:42):
both immigrants from India, and awonderful sister that Jad and I could meet
at all, let alone fall inlove and Mary is a testament to this
great country. It is also atestament to JD, and it tells you
(25:07):
something about who he is. WhenJD met me, he approached our differences
with curiosity and enthusiasm. He wantedto know everything about me, where I
came from, what my life hadbeen like. Although he's a meat and
potatoes kind of guy, he adaptedto my vegetarian diet and learned to cook
(25:30):
food from my mother Indian food.Before I knew it, he had become
an integral part of my family,a person I could not meant could not
imagine living without. The JD Iknew then is the same JD you see
today, except for that beard,and his goals in this new role are
(25:55):
the same that he has pursued forour family, to keep people safe,
to create opportunities, to build abetter life, and to solve problems with
an open mind. It's safe tosay that neither JD nor I expected to
find ourselves in this position, butit's hard to imagine a more powerful example
(26:15):
of the American dream. A boyfrom Middletown, Ohio raised by his grandmother
(26:45):
through tough times, chosen to helplead our country through some of its greatest
challenges. I am grateful to allof you for the trust you've placed in
him and in our family. Andwith that is my great privilege to introduce
my husband and the next Vice Presidentof the United States, jd Vance.
