Bret Baier, sharing his recent conversation with Trump, reported, “We just got off the phone with the former president, and he said this, ‘I am thrilled that a judge had the courage, courage, and wisdom to do this. This has big, big implications, not just for this case, but for other cases.'”

“The Special Counsel worked with everyone to try to take me down. This is a big, big deal. It only makes this convention more positive. This will be an amazing week. He said again and again that this was a big, big decision. He pointed to Justice Thomas and the questioning in the Supreme Court on this very issue about the special counsel, but seemed to indicate that he thought that this would have implications for other cases.” – Bret Baier

Baier continued, “He did confirm that he’s going to make a VP choice today.”

Bill Hemmer sought clarification on the VP choice being made today: “If he’s going to make his choice today, will we hear it today? Did he answer that?”

Baier confirmed, “Yes, we’re going to get a VP today. And he said there’s other things to come. I don’t know what that means, but the big reaction was that he is thrilled, and he was really praising Judge Cannon, who he said, from the beginning, had the demeanor that she was not going to put up with garbage. And he thinks that this has big implications for other cases as well.”

Trump’s comments highlighted his belief that Judge Cannon’s ruling could set a precedent for other legal battles he faces.

He also expressed gratitude for surviving an assassination attempt, stating, “He is now, you know, praising God that he’s here. He is projecting that he’s going to try to unify a convention and give a different message than he originally was thinking he was going to give. He said he tore up the 20-page speech and has reworked it, and thinks that this is the time for the country to come together.”

Dana Perino reflected on the significance of recent political developments, saying, “It’s really incredible. But the election, for a long time, felt like it was kind of sleepy, right? We didn’t have the primary season that we thought we would, and then all of a sudden, minute by minute, we are having incredible stories drop.”
