WTOP's Jason Fraley marks the start of the 2024 Republican National Convention by flashing back to a conversation with Dana Perino, former White House Press Secretary to George W. Bush, when she visited Warner Theatre in Washington D.C. a week before the 2017 inauguration. You'll hear them try to make sense of Hillary Clinton's 2016 election loss to Donald Trump, who survived an apparent assassination attempt over the weekend in Pennsylvania. This conversation from seven years ago is now a fascinating and tragic time capsule considering all of the political chaos that has transpired since. (Theme Music: Scott Buckley's "Clarion")
