The RNC has been waiting all week to hear Donald Trump speak for the first time since his attempted assassination.

In a record-length speech, he described in detail the moment he was shot before paying tribute to the Pennsylvania fire chief who was killed at the rally.

Sarah and Anthony were in the room to witness the speech, and reflect on the key themes with Justin Webb. They discuss the key messages in the speech, and what a second Trump term in the White House might look like. Also, what did delegates make of Melania Trump's reappearance?
