THE HISTORY OF BALLOONS HE SAID SOMETHING LIKE 18,000 OF THEM. I MAYBE I'VE HEARD THAT FIGURE WRONG. >> KNOW HE DID SAY THAT DANIEL DEAL, I HOPE WILL BE ABLE TO FACT CHECK THIS, IF NOT TONIGHT THAN MAYBE TOMORROW. >> ALTHOUGH I GUESS NOBODY REALLY CARES THAT MUCH ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT THE BIGGEST BALLOON DROP, BUT THAT IS WHAT'S GOING ON OR WE HAVE SOME GIANT GOLD BALLS, ALSO BEACH BALLS. ANYWAY, DANA BASH BACK TO THE CONTENTS BUT THE SPEECH, IT WAS EXCEPT FOR THE TOP OF IT PRETTY PRETTY PRETTY MUCH DONALD TRUMP, GREATEST HITS IF YOU'D LIKE IT, WHICH ALL THE PEOPLE IN THIS ROOM DO, THEN YOU'RE HAPPY AND IF YOU DON'T, THEN YOU'VE HEARD IT BEFORE ALREADY REPUBLICANS, SOME OF WHOM I'VE BEEN TEXTING WITH WHO ARE HERE AT THE CONVENTION ARE TAKING SOLACE IN THE FACT THAT T BECAUSE IT IS S LATE AT NIGHT, EAST COAST AND EVEN MIDWEST THAT THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE LIKELY PAID ATTENTION TO IN TUNED INTO THE BEGINNING OF THIS SPEECH, WHERE HE DID A CALLED FOR DISCORD AND DIVISION OF THE SOCIETY TO BE HEALED. >> AND THEN AS YOU SAID GAVE A DETAILED WAY THE NARRATIVE AND THE STORY OF WHAT HAPPENED. THE HARROWING MOMENT THAT HE WAS ALMOST KILILLED ON SATURDAY NIGHT. AND OF COURSE, THE TRIBUTE TO THE GENTLEMEN WHO WAS KILLED AND TWO WHO WERE SEVERELY INJURED. BUT JUST GOING BACK TO THAT LINE WHICH IS VERY EARLY ON, ACCORDING TO THE TELEPROMPTER, LIKE THE FOURTH LINE IN THE SPEECH, THAT DISCORD AND DIVISION IN OUR SOCIETY MUST BE HEALED HE WAS THEN THE DITCH DONALD TRUMP GOING AFTER NANCY PELOSI TALKING ABOUT CHEATING ON ELECTIONS SAYING THAT PEOPLE USE TO COVID, TO CHEAT EVEN THOUGH HE HAD SAID THAT HE WASN'T GOING TO OR AT LEAST HIS PEOPLE SAID HE WASN'T GOING TO USE BIDEN'S NAME YOU'VE HAD JOE BIDEN BY NAME, TALKED ABOUT THE IMMIGRATION INVASION WEAPON, WEAPONIZED JUSTICE DEPARTMENT AND SO ON AND SO FORTH. SO SO MUCH OF THE PREVIEW OF WHAT WE GOT WAS THIS IS A CHANGED MAN. THIS IS SOMEBODY WHO'S GOING TO BE DIFFERENT MORE A LITTLE BIT MORE IT WAS, BUT, BUT,T, CERTAINLY WE HAVE ALL SEEN RALLIES OF DONALD TRUMP WHERE HE HAS GIVEN IN HIS WORDS ARE MORE RIP ROARING SPEECH. >> BUT THERE WAS A LOT OF THAT IN THERE THERE'S SOMETHING A PHENOMENON IN THIS CAMPAIGN CALLED TRUMP AMNESIA AND THAT'S THE IDEA THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE FORGOTTEN WHAT THEY EITHER LIKED OR LOW ABOUT TRUMP DURING HIS FOUR YEARS AS PRESIDENT. >> AND OVER THE COURTS THIS HOUR AND-A-HALF, YOU WERE REMINDED OF WHAT YOU LIKED OR LOAD ABOUT DONALD TRUMP AND YOU'RE YOU'RE EXACTLY RIGHT. DANA, WHAT PART OF THE I HAVE TO SAY FOR ME, DISAPPOINTMENT IN THEIR SPEECH IS BECAUSE THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN HAD TALKED SO MUCH ABOUT OUR WE WERE GOING TO SEE A SOFTER, MORE REFLECTIVE, DONALD TRUMP AND HE HAD A LINE EARLY ON, IT'S ON, I WANT TO BE PRESIDENT FOR ALL AMERICANS BECAUSE THERE'S NO OBJECT TO RE, IN WINNING FOR HALF OF AMERICANS. I THOUGHT, WELL, WE'RE OFF TO THE RACES HERE, AND THIS IS REALLY GOING TO BE A DIFFERENT DONALD TRUMP, AS YOU SAY, HE THEN WENT IN VERY REFLECTIVE, SOMBER ON TRUMP, LIKE DETAIL OF TRUCKING ABOUT HOW GOD SAVED, SAVED HIS LIFE AND, AND IT SEEMED GENUINELY REFLECTIVE. BUT THEN FOR ALL OF THAT, AND IT SEEMED AS IF HE COULDN'T KEEP UP THE APP SO WE STARTED HEARING ABOUT CRAZY NANCY PELOSI AND CHEATING ON ELECTIONS. AND TALKING ABOUT BIDEN FRANKLY, IT WAS A LONG SPEECH. IT WAS RAMBLING PAGE. IT WAS A SPEECH BY AN OLDER MAN AND I COULDN'T HELP BUT THINK THE PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO BE HAPPY YES, TONIGHT ARE NOT THE PEOPLE AT TRUMP HEADQUARTERS, BUT THE PEOPLE THE DEMOCRATS, MAYBE A BIDEN HEADQUARTERS, MAYBE AT THE HEADQUARTERS OF OTHER PEOPLE WHO THINK I GOT TO REPLIES, JOE BIDEN. BUT JAKE, WE HAVE OURSELVES A PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN AGAIN. >> YEAH. >> ANDERSON COOPER, JUST A NOTE. THE AVERAGE FILM IS ONE HOUR AND 31 MINUTES. >> THIS WAS ONE HOUR AND 30 MINUTES LONGER THAN THE AVERAGE MOMOVIE. >> ANDERSON BY DONALD TRUMP'S STANDARDS, IS WAS THE LONGEST GOP CONVENTION SPEECH HE HAS GIVEN JAKE AS YOU POINTED OUT, I JUST WANT TO GET SOME QUICK TAPES. TAKES FROM THE PANEL. DAVID URBAN, SPEECH EXPECTED. I KNOW. LOOK, IT'S IT STARTED OUT INCREDIBLY STRONG AND THOUGHT IN TERMS THE PRESIDENT'S EMOTIONAL JOURNEY WHEN HE GOT SHOT, YOU HEARD FROM A LOT OF REALLY BIG ZIGZAG, A LITTLE SUBDUED TO BEGIN WITH. >> I THINK THE CROWD WHAT MORE. AND SO I THINK HE GIVEN HE HAD TO DO HERE, DELIVERED DELIVERED, RED MEAT TO THOSE WHO WONDER RED MEAT DELIVERED A LITTLE YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT THIS CONVENTNTIONS ABOUT LOVE A LOT OF LOVE, A ROOM. BEFORE WE'VE NEVER HAD A UNIFIED PARTY LIKE THIS. SO PARTY IS UNIFIED BEHIND A LOT OF LEBANON. >> DAVID AXELROD SO MY FRIEND SCOTT JENNINGS ON WERE SOME ON, HOP, HOP HOPPING OUT OF HIS SEAT BEFORE THE SPEECH BECAUSE HE HELD UP THE EXCERPTS AND SAID, THIS YOU YOU WONDERED WHETHER HE COULD DRIVES TO THE MOMENT. >> WELL, HE'S GOING TO RISE TO THE MOMENT. IT JUST TURNS OUT THAT HE OWNED HE READ THE WORDS ON THESE PAGES AND THEN SPENT PROBABLY AN HOUR AN AGGREGATE RIFFING AND SO PEOPLE I'M SURE RESPONDED VERY POSITIVELY TO HIS APPEALS TO UNITY THAT WERE WRITTEN ON A TELEPROMPTER AND THEN HE JUST RIFFED THE BEJESUS OUT OF EVERYBODY. THAT HE WAS ALL AS POLITICAL ENEMIES AND SO ON. I HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT, YOU KNOW, CHRIS WALLACE SAID THIS. THIS IS THE FIRST GOOD THING AND THAT'S HAPPENED TO DEMOCRATS IN THE LAST THREE WEEKS. I MEAN, THIS, THIS REALLY REMINDED EVERYONE WHY DONALD TRUMP IS FUNDAMENTALLY UNPOPULAR. OUTSIDE THIS ROOM. >> KAITLAN, YOU KNOW, THAT'S INTERESTING, IS THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE NOT BEEN TO A TRUMP RALLY. THEY'VE NEVER SEEN WHAT A TRUMP RALLY IS LIKE. I'VE BEEN TO DOZENS OF THEM. THIS IS WHAT A TRUMP RALLY THEY IS LIKE. WHAT OBVIOUSLY THIS IS BUILT OUT WAS A TOTALLY FREE SPEECH FOCUSED ON UNITY. THERE'S NO DENYING THE BEGINNING WAS CERTAINLY COMPELLING. YOU WERE ACCOUNTED IN NOW WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO BE ON STAGE IN BUTLER, PENNSYLVANIA ON SATURDAY NIGHT, ANY SPENT ABOUT TEN TO 15 MINUTES DOING THAT. THEN WE GOT TO THE MIDDLE AND IT SOUNDED LIKE A NORMAL TYPICAL TRUMP RALLY THAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED OR SATURDAY, HE CALLED NANCY PELOSI CRAZY NANCY PELOSI. HE TALKED ABOUT THEY ARE TRYING TO DESTROY OUR COUNTRY. HE CALLED THE 2020 ELECTION RIDICULOUS. >> CHEATING ON ELECTIONS HE EXEMPLIFIED MURRAY'S AUTHORITARIAN STRONGMAN LEADER WHO HAS SCALED BACK DEMOCRATIC NORMS IN THAT COUNTRY. >> AND A LOT OF THAT WAS EXACTLY AS A TYPICAL FROM SPEECHES IT'S INTERESTING IS A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T NORMALLY WATCH THAT. THEY ALL DID TONIGHT I GOT A LOT OF SAYING THIS IS A GREAT REMINDER OF WHY A LOT OF PEOPLE EXHAUSTED BY THE END OF THE FIRST TOP AND WE'LL BE HAVING SECOND THOUGHTS ABOUT WHETHTHER THEY WANT TO GO THROUGH THAT AGAIN I MEAN, IT WAS A TRUMP RALLY IS KAITLAN THAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE SUPPOSED THEY ARE TIRED. >> IT WAS A LONG, RAMBLING SPEECH AT THE AYDOS OF IT. WE'RE ALL AUBY IN-BETWEEN UNIFY EXCERPTS THE PART WHERE HE AT WHAT HE REALLY WANTED TO SAY ALL OF THOSE WERE THINGS THAT WERE FILLED WITH THEY'RE FREE WAS VERY PROBLEMATIC THAT IS WHAT IT SOUNDS LILIKE. >> A LOT OF HIS RALLY BUT YOU GET LOST JUST THE MONOTONE MADE NATURE OF WHAT HE WAS SAYING. IN THIS MOMENT WHEN HE COULD HAVE LIFTED THIS VERY ENERGETIC GREW UP IN A REALLY ROUSING SHORT TIGHT SPEECH THAT WAS NOT WHAT THIS WAS THAT WAS A MESS THOSE ARE THE BIG MESS DODGED A BULLET
