About this episode
We get the inside track on presidential security at the highest levels from an expert who has worked with Donald Trump. Justin is joined by Miles Taylor, a former Chief of Staff at the Department for Homeland Security when Trump was President. Also, as the Republican Convention gets underway in Milwaukee, Justin and Miles discuss Trump’s call for America to “UNITE”. Can the former President reunite not just the country, but the Republican party? What does this mean for Joe Biden and the Democrats? And - Anthony joins us for some breaking news on one of Donald Trump’s legal cases - and why it’s good news for the former President.
