Well, folks, last night was night two of the Republican National Convention. It was an incredible

0:03.5

show. We're going to get to all that news. Plus updates on the assassination attempt against Donald Trump. The Secret Services failures could not be more glaring. I mean, it's really incredible. We'll get to that in a moment. First, one thing is clear in this election. The fight for America's core values is more important than ever. The Daily Wire is on the front lines of that fight.

0:31.7

honestly, we're going to get better commentary, opinion, and fact-based coverage. Okay, so last night

0:37.1

was again, night two of the RNC, and it was a unity night.

0:40.9

Donald Trump promised a unity convention among Republicans, the unity is obviously materializing,

0:45.7

and it's materializing because, let's be frank about this, Donald Trump, for all those who

0:49.3

have sort of a Marxist materialist view of history in which figures don't matter, that is

0:53.2

clearly not true. And Donald Trump is matter. That is clearly not true.

0:55.1

And Donald Trump is proof positive that that is not true. That individual figures actually do

0:59.8

shape history. There's this whole materialist view that sort of goes back to Hegel actually,

1:05.1

predating Marx, that suggests that we sort of ride the eddies of history, that history is a series of impersonal forces, and that individual figures don't matter, that if there were no Churchill, there would have been somebody kind of like Churchill who would have performed the same function. If there were no Hitler, there would have been somebody like Hitler who had performed that same function. And again, it goes for good or for ill. Well, there's a countervailing view, which is what's been sort of derisively

1:29.2

termed the great man view of history, which is the idea that individuals matter in history.

1:33.8

Donald Trump is an individual who matters in history, whether you like him or whether you hate him.

1:37.0

That is just a reality. And when you see the Republican Party come together around Donald Trump

1:41.6

at this point, it's something absolutely unique. Republicans

1:45.6

came together around other candidates. They've come together, you know, at every convention around

1:48.8

Mitt Romney or John McCain. But the level of enthusiasm for Donald Trump on a personal level,

1:54.3

the level of adoration, obviously, in the hall for Donald Trump, the ability that Donald

1:58.3

Trump has to cobble together a coalition that really

2:01.7

is non-ideological. That's the thing about Trump. Trump is not an ideological figure. And because

2:06.5

Trump is not an ideological figure, he has not formed an ideological party. Now, that doesn't mean
