What do we expect? 6 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:25,840 Speaker 1: What do the remaining contenders, Nicky Hayley and Ron DeSantis 7 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 1: actually won. 8 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 2: We will discuss. 9 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:32,920 Speaker 1: Tommy Tuberville, Senator from Alabama, joins us at two thirty 10 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:37,800 Speaker 1: Eastern time. So many different moving parts. The battle in 11 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:43,479 Speaker 1: New Hampshire is ongoing, plus major Supreme Court case. Buck 12 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 1: is even going to nerd out like he's a law 13 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 1: school law review participant. That should be fun. 14 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,199 Speaker 3: Also, there is no I want everyone to get their 15 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 3: pocket protectors ready. 16 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 2: My friends. 17 00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 1: There is no one kidnapped. Buck has got a puppy 18 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 1: at his feet. I can hear Ginger yelping a little bit. 19 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 1: I just want you all to know, if you hear yelping, 20 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 1: no one has been kidnapped. Although I will point out 21 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: we are now having another snow day. It's like the 22 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,679 Speaker 1: third straight. I guess Martin Luther King Day was a holiday. 23 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,120 Speaker 1: But Tuesday and Wednesday all my kids are home and 24 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: I just want to also let you know, in addition 25 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 1: to the yelping you may get from a dog, my 26 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 1: boys are directly downstairs from my studio playing Madden, and 27 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 1: they scream and they yell and they fight like wild 28 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 1: band cheese. All that plus Buck, I watched the nineteen 29 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 1: eighties movie last night that I had not seen in 30 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: thirty some odd years, Crocodile Dundee. At some point we 31 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: may have some fun with that. The kids absolutely loved it. 32 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: But I want to start with this question for you. 33 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: I think you are in agreement with me that in 34 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: the wake of Donald Trump's thirty point win, he has 35 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: effectively locked up the Republican nomination. Vivek Ramaswami acknowledge that 36 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: gets seven point seven percent of the vote, he has 37 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: endorsed Trump. Will play a little bit of that audio 38 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,359 Speaker 1: at a rally last night during the course of the show. 39 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: That means that Trump now has two contenders remaining in 40 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: this race. Ron DeSantis, who both you and me believe 41 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 1: is the best governor in the country. He got everything 42 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:24,519 Speaker 1: right on COVID, but the Republican electorate did not respond 43 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:30,359 Speaker 1: to him in Iowa, and Nicki Hayley, who is been 44 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 1: out of office for a while, but basically is staking 45 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 1: her claim on I'm gonna win New Hampshire or be close, 46 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 1: and then I'm gonna win South Carolina. So I want 47 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: to give you a thesis. I want to see how 48 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: you would analyze this. Nicki Haley staying in the race 49 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 1: makes sense to me because Nicki Haley would love to 50 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: be vice president. She won't deny that she would take it. 51 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: Trump seems to be flirting with the idea a bit 52 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,519 Speaker 1: in that he has not totally dismissed it, and she 53 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: still think she can win New Hampshire and she is 54 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: holding out hope that she can make a play in 55 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 1: South Carolina. So I don't buy the logic of Nicki 56 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: Haley's campaign, but I understand it. Okay, let's talk about 57 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: Ron DeSantis right now. Pole came out from the Boston 58 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 1: Globe and Suffolk University. I believe this morning Donald Trump 59 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: fifty percent, Nicky Haley thirty four percent, Ron DeSantis five percent. 60 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 1: Now they're still around ten percent of people who are undecided, 61 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 1: and people can shift and there can be Republicans come in, 62 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 1: there can be Independents come in. If I were advising 63 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: DeSantis right now, I think you and I both agree, Buck, 64 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: that DeSantis does not want to be vice president. 65 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 2: I don't think that. 66 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 1: DeSantis wants anything to do with any kind of cabinet position. 67 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: I think he believes governor of Florida is a bigger 68 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 1: and more prestigious deal. Okay, And by the way, you 69 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: guys can react out there are eight hundred and two 70 00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 1: two two eight two. It seems to me that the 71 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: best way for DeSantis to maintain his political viability going 72 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: forward on a national scale is to kick ass as 73 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: governor for the remaining two years of his term and 74 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: then run for the presidency again, potentially if he wants 75 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,480 Speaker 1: to do it in the twenty twenty eight cycle, and 76 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 1: if he endorses Trump and becomes a good soldier and says, hey, 77 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: it is important that Trump beat Biden. Certainly a lot 78 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,159 Speaker 1: of you out there would have preferred DeSantis. But what 79 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 1: basically analyze this do you agree with? I can't figure it, 80 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: Nikki Haley makes sense to me. I can't figure out 81 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: the DeSantis plan, Buck, unless it is Hey, there's going 82 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,279 Speaker 1: to be lawfair, Something's going to happen in the court system. 83 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: The Supreme Court's going to do something, and I'm just 84 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 1: going to stay in and wait and see if that happens. 85 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 3: So the thing about that last option is we know 86 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 3: that Ron, I mean, that can't be the official strategy, right, 87 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 3: meaning implicitly said, you're never going to have anyone who says, hey, 88 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 3: Ron staying in this thing just in case the Democrats 89 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 3: dirty tricks end up working, you know, much better than anticipated. 90 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 4: Right. 91 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 3: So that's one possibility there that that it's really about. Sorry, 92 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 3: no one is kidnapped. 93 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 2: No one is kidnapped. It's a puppy. 94 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 4: Uh. 95 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 3: She's usually so quiet, she sits under the desk during 96 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 3: the show most days. I don't know how many of 97 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,280 Speaker 3: you have raised a puppy recently. But you know, she's 98 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,600 Speaker 3: decided that she's been good for too long. So anyway 99 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,359 Speaker 3: back to the so now she's being naughty. Back to 100 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 3: the news. Uh, here's what I here's what I think 101 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 3: that the challenge for DeSantis in terms of the timing 102 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,159 Speaker 3: here for Wall Street Journal, do we mentioned they've called 103 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 3: on him to drop Yeah, so there are there are 104 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 3: a whole slew of Ted Cruz. 105 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 1: By the way, we'll play that audio came out and 106 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: endure He's I mean a lot of his people work 107 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: in the Desantas campaign, so that's not insignificant, said he 108 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: should drop out. 109 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,279 Speaker 2: He has formally endorsed Donald Trump. 110 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 3: And said that that that Desanta should drop out. CNN 111 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,160 Speaker 3: is no longer even holding primary debate in New Hampshire 112 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 3: because DeSantis right now is the only one who has 113 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 3: accepted the invitation. 114 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 2: Think about that. 115 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 1: So just his credit. He's willing to talk and debate. 116 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,280 Speaker 1: I give credit to DeSantis for that. 117 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:17,039 Speaker 3: And the truth of the matter is for DeSantis, first 118 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 3: of all, I would tell CNN, look, I should be 119 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 3: able to get a towent hall out of this, right like, 120 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 3: if I'm willing to show up, you know, I'm not 121 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,280 Speaker 3: canceling the dinner date. You guys should make good on this. 122 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 3: Nicky Haley is staying in it because there's no downside 123 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 3: for Nicky Haley. She's not in office right so it's 124 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,479 Speaker 3: not like she has some other job to go back to. 125 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,159 Speaker 3: Haley is tied with Trump in New Hampshire, and for her, 126 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 3: the the fees for speaking and for ghosts written books, 127 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 3: et cetera, just go up if she wins New Hampshire. 128 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:52,599 Speaker 3: So as a brand proposition. As a brand proposition, Nicky 129 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 3: Haley I think continues on certainly through New Hampshire. The 130 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 3: question is does she stop before South Carolina? Because that 131 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:00,600 Speaker 3: made me since. 132 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 2: To Nicki Haley, we agree on that. 133 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 1: I'm just trying to work through if you're and I'm 134 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,159 Speaker 1: curious if you guys have have thought processes on this 135 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 1: as well. And I'm missing something on DeSantis when the 136 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: poll comes out this morning and it says that he 137 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 1: has five percent of the support in New Hampshire, unless 138 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 1: this is the worst pole ever, and remember all of 139 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: the Iowa polls ended up correct. Right, everybody out there 140 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,559 Speaker 1: who's saying, oh the poles are rigged, they don't make sense. 141 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: Iowa polls nearly identical to what the final results were. 142 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 1: So Desandra is going to have to fight tooth and 143 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 1: nail to get to double digits at all and. 144 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 2: Be nowhere near Haley or Trump. What is the game 145 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 2: plan here? 146 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: I mean, the only thing I can think is that 147 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: they are believing that some lawfair may happen and they're 148 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 1: not going to drop out as a result in the 149 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: event that something chaotic happens there. 150 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 2: We have to. 151 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 3: Remember that there's there's what's what's sensible in this campaign? 152 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 3: What's sensible for their long term political viability, their political brand, 153 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 3: if you will. And then there's also that thing that 154 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 3: it's hard to judge but critical to keep in mind, 155 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 3: ego and the desire to keep going, and the desire 156 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 3: to stay in the fight even when it's looking like 157 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 3: you have no chance to win. And I think right 158 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 3: now for the DeSantis team and for Nicki Haley, well, 159 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 3: Nicki Haley, we've already discussed this clear why she's staying 160 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 3: in I'll also say it's funny that Viveke so I 161 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 3: think it was last summer saying Viveke is basically in 162 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 3: the race in order to provide additional air cover for 163 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 3: Trump's campaign by stopping attention from focusing on the people 164 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 3: that actually want to be president instead of Trump, namely 165 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:55,200 Speaker 3: DeSantis and Haley. And I mean, Vivike got told he 166 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,200 Speaker 3: wasn't maga, and a day later Trump says, this guy's awesome. 167 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 3: He's gonna have a big role in my campaign, and 168 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,319 Speaker 3: he drops out of New Hampshire. This is exactly what 169 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 3: we said was going to happen. That he's running as 170 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 3: an adjunct of the Trump campaign. Everyone's kind of talked 171 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 3: to about, Oh, we ran such a great campaign, look, 172 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 3: we technically speaking in terms of his skill and his 173 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:21,559 Speaker 3: understanding of the media and his eloquence, whether you believe 174 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 3: it is all intended or not, I mean, or it 175 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 3: is all you know earnest I should say, or not 176 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 3: his eloquence and all that, Yes, that's exceptional. But he 177 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 3: dropped out after the first contest that endorsed Trump right away, 178 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 3: which is essentially what you would have assumed he would 179 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,959 Speaker 3: do six months ago. Right, So there's really not much 180 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 3: any finished last in Iowa. So I don't think there's 181 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 3: any surprise with any of that for Ron. 182 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:47,679 Speaker 2: You know, no one. 183 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 3: I don't think anyone's going to remember the prime like 184 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 3: this is the other part of this too. 185 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 2: We're so focused in on this right now. 186 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 3: Is anyone even going to remember how Ron does in 187 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,679 Speaker 3: this primary in the next presidential election cycle? 188 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 2: I don't think so. The donors might. 189 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 1: Donors might if you gave one hundred million dollars of 190 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 1: money to Ron DeSantis and he lost by thirty in 191 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 1: Iowa and then he lost by forty in New Hampshire, 192 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 1: it might make you less excited to donate in twenty 193 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 1: eight where if you yeah, I was gonna. 194 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 3: Say, I mean, if you wrote a check for ten 195 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 3: million dollars to a Ron super pack. Let's just say, 196 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 3: don't get any ideas, but if you did that, what 197 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 3: would you. 198 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 2: Want him to do at this point? Though? 199 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:30,719 Speaker 3: Would you want him to run through the tape even 200 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 3: though he's a lap behind? 201 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:34,440 Speaker 2: The next thing? You know? 202 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 1: The first Let me just say this, if I had 203 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,719 Speaker 1: a billion dollars, I would have given Ron DeSantis ten 204 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 1: million dollars because he got everything right on COVID. And 205 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,839 Speaker 1: I'm saying if I had a billion dollars, because I 206 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 1: think you should reward politicians who get things right, and 207 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 1: nobody got more right on COVID. And I was thinking 208 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 1: about this some this morning as I was getting ready. Buck, 209 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 1: You and I are both super frustrated that there's been 210 00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 1: no reckoning on COVID, And I jotted down a note 211 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: to myself, why is that right? 212 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:03,680 Speaker 4: Like? 213 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 1: Why did Kentucky re elect a COVID tyrant in a 214 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 1: red state? Andy Basheer gets re elected. My theory is 215 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 1: twenty five percent of people got COVID right. That is, 216 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 1: we shouldn't have locked down, shouldn't have shut down schools, 217 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 1: shouldn't have worn masks. You and me were in that 218 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 1: camp but we were a minority and we got ripped 219 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,959 Speaker 1: to the high heavens for years over all that perspective, 220 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 1: and there are a lot of people listening to us 221 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 1: right now that are in that camp. Fifty percent of 222 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 1: people are ashamed now because they just went along with 223 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:37,199 Speaker 1: the ascendant mob and they pretended that wearing masks mattered, 224 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 1: and they did the social distancing, and they now know 225 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 1: it's not true, but they don't want to examine their 226 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 1: cowardness and acknowledge that they got everything wrong because in 227 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 1: the back of their mind they knew it made no sense. 228 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 1: And then twenty five percent or faucyites, and they're not 229 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 1: going to ever acknowledge that they were wrong. And that 230 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,319 Speaker 1: actually makes some sense to me because it explains why 231 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 1: there isn't a majority that has been willing to rain 232 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: down Holy hell on all these imbeciles who got everything wrong. 233 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,559 Speaker 1: And I think a big part of Ron DeSantis's campaign, 234 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 1: as you go back and look at it retrospectively, let's 235 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,560 Speaker 1: pretend that there were never any charges that were brought 236 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 1: against Trump. 237 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 2: I think that would have changed things. 238 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 1: But I don't think that you and me, and I 239 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 1: think a lot of the DeSantis people, we wanted reckonings 240 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 1: for COVID, and most people were just like, I want 241 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,319 Speaker 1: to pretend that never happened and there are no consequences. 242 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 1: And I find that incredibly unfulfilling, and I know you do, 243 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 1: because you got ripped to the high heavens. I bet 244 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,440 Speaker 1: the DeSantis team is furious over this because they got 245 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 1: ripped to the high heavens and they got everything right, 246 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,080 Speaker 1: and people just didn't care. They wanted to turn the 247 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 1: page and it wasn't a focus. And as a result 248 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 1: being right, it mattered in Florida for the state election 249 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,839 Speaker 1: because everybody knew, but most of the nation just wants 250 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:57,199 Speaker 1: to pretend COVID never happened. 251 00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,839 Speaker 3: Now, well, I also think that people focus on the 252 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 3: problems that they have, not the problems that they used 253 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 3: to have. Well, and that's that's a good point too, 254 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,200 Speaker 3: you know, And that's we have to deal with that 255 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 3: reality a little bit here, because you know, the reckoning 256 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 3: didn't come, and so now to continue to sit here 257 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 3: and and focus in on that when we have the 258 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 3: worst I want to play that Jamie Diamond clip, the 259 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 3: CEO of JP Morgan Chase on the border very influential. 260 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 1: If people don't know who he is super influential in 261 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 1: the UH one of the. 262 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 3: Most powerful bankers and finance finance voices in the world. Okay, 263 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 3: so yes, whether you care about his opinions or not, 264 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 3: Wall Street certainly does. And he's saying that all of 265 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 3: and you'll, by the way, you'll like what he says 266 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,199 Speaker 3: everyone when you hear at least this one clip we're 267 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 3: going to play because he's spot on, it's totally true. 268 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 3: You know, the country has a lot of problems right now, 269 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,079 Speaker 3: and COVID isn't one of them. And so I understand 270 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 3: why at some le there was a time when I 271 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 3: when you know, I sat here and I was legitimately 272 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 3: like I wouldn't say pulling my hair out, that would 273 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 3: be hasty, but I was legitimately very upset about the 274 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 3: lack of reckoning. But I think now we're at the 275 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 3: point where we've made our case, we've set our peace, 276 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 3: we've done what we can, and a lot of people 277 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 3: just feel like, hey, can we fix the economy, the 278 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 3: border and make sure we don't get into a forever 279 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,080 Speaker 3: war in the Middle East with Iran or get more 280 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 3: extended into Ukraine. And so I get that, right, that's 281 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 3: that's now, something that I think a lot of the 282 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 3: we were right on COVID and clann are high fiving 283 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 3: at Treveler on this right on COVID. There's other challenges 284 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 3: to face, and I think that's why Trump is dialed 285 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 3: in and a few of his well, I don't really 286 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 3: know if they're competitors anymore, but some of the other 287 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 3: challengers in the race are also looking at the here 288 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 3: and now, so I can make sense of that. 289 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 2: I don't necessarily agree, but I see it. 290 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 1: By the way, I think we agree on what Nicki 291 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 1: Hayley's motivations are. I'd be curious to hear today, DeSantis supporters, 292 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 1: how do you want this campaign to go from here? 293 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 1: If you are a died in the warl 'ron Desanti's supporter, 294 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: and you were crushed when he lost by thirty points 295 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:05,119 Speaker 1: in Iowa, again, pull out this morning from Suffolk University. 296 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 1: He's at five percent in New Hampshire. What would your 297 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 1: take be? Eight hundred and two two two eight a two. 298 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 1: In the meantime, a lot of us check an email 299 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 1: part of the daily routine, just like brushing our teeth. 300 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 1: We don't think twice about it, just go through the motion. 301 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 1: Cyber criminals counting on this. Clever ones send out emails 302 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 1: look like different companies you do business with. Even if 303 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 1: you're careful, you might accidentally fall into the trap. Also, now, 304 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 1: by the way, how about text messages. How many of 305 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 1: you are getting text messages telling you, Oh, you got 306 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 1: to go sign up, Oh your account's been breached, Oh 307 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 1: you got to do this.

Our good friend Kamala Harris is on 390 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,200 Speaker 1: the view. We will play some of those clips for 391 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,959 Speaker 1: you coming up in a bit. We are kind of 392 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:17,399 Speaker 1: working through the continued fallout of the Monday Iowa caucuses, 393 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,719 Speaker 1: and I'll circle back around on this buck because I 394 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 1: do think that it is worth discussing. The overall turnout 395 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:30,919 Speaker 1: has ended up lower than we had anytime in the 396 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,920 Speaker 1: last twenty years, and I think that's somewhat surprise surprising 397 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 1: to me because I thought, hey, we'll challenge the overall 398 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 1: turnout for twenty sixteen, and if to the extent there 399 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: is an attack, Democrats seem to be lining up and saying, oh, 400 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:52,400 Speaker 1: Trump isn't actually that strong. Only one hundred and ten 401 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 1: thousand people showed up to vote in Iowa, way less 402 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 1: than voted in twenty sixteen, the last time Trump ran 403 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: it can in a contested Iowa primary. And what does 404 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:08,679 Speaker 1: that say going forward? My thought is that the snow 405 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 1: may well have actually tamped down overall turnout. 406 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:15,960 Speaker 3: Do you think anyone I'm thinking about Iowa after Iowa? 407 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 3: I feel like, now that we've we've gotten past the results, 408 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 3: I don't know that they're going to be making any 409 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:21,639 Speaker 3: case about it. I think in a week, no one 410 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 3: that you can remember Iowa happened. 411 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 2: Well. I think winning by thirty as Trump did. 412 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 1: Really kind of raises the question why did nobody show 413 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:39,400 Speaker 1: up for DeSantis and Haley if there was actually substantial 414 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,440 Speaker 1: dislike for Trump? Right, you haven't seen that attack ad. 415 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,640 Speaker 1: That's like JB. Pritzker's coming out. They're trying to go 416 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: after the idea because Trump won by thirty, but they're 417 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:51,880 Speaker 1: now focusing on turnout, saying the lack of turnout actually 418 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,919 Speaker 1: demonstrates there's not a great deal of enthusiasm for Trump. 419 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,960 Speaker 1: That's I mean, that's the attack ad right now. You 420 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,439 Speaker 1: know this is there. You can always find in some 421 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 1: number or something. First of all, the Iowa numbers twenty 422 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 1: sixteen was the aberration. It's pretty much in line with 423 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 1: Iowa caucuses stretching back for a few election cycles, right, 424 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:11,680 Speaker 1: So yeah, really it's. 425 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:13,399 Speaker 3: To compare it to twenty sixteen. He's to say, well, 426 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 3: it's not like the huge year of first of Trump's 427 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 3: first run. Okay, yeah, but it's pretty standard for other 428 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 3: Iowa caucuses. So it's not like you may hear that argument. 429 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:23,679 Speaker 2: I'm hearing it. 430 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,359 Speaker 1: I'm hearing people try and say, oh, this is a 431 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 1: sign that Trump. But the problem they're making that argument 432 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 1: this week because they're trying. They're desperate for any counter 433 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 1: programming from Trump just crushed the competition and is clearly 434 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 1: going to win that. You know, they they What are 435 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 1: they gonna say on MSNBC momentous victory for Donald Trump, 436 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:43,440 Speaker 1: We've underestimated him. 437 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 3: No, they're gonna find something. Right, They're gonna say, oh, well, 438 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,400 Speaker 3: it's down compared to some other year. And what I'm saying, Clay, 439 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 3: isn't that. 440 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:49,440 Speaker 2: Yeah? 441 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,160 Speaker 3: Right now, maybe people are talking about it. But once 442 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 3: New Hampshire. What do you think they're gonna say in 443 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 3: New Hampshire? Oh, my gosh, Nikki. First of all, NICKI 444 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 3: Haley may win New Hampshire. It will mean nothing, right, 445 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,239 Speaker 3: I mean didn't correct You go back and look at 446 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 3: other other cycles. I think pat U can in one 447 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:08,119 Speaker 3: New Hampshire back in ninety six, right, So John McCain. 448 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 1: Beat Bush in two thousand in New Hampshire. So beat 449 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 1: Barack Obama in two thousand and eight. Remember after she cried, 450 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 1: she came back and won New Hampshire turned it into 451 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:18,159 Speaker 1: a big battle. 452 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 3: Did Bernie win New Hampshire back in twenty twenty for 453 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 3: the Democrats? I know, Pete Buddha Judge one eye was see. 454 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:25,639 Speaker 3: But this is what I'm saying. We fell politics all 455 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 3: the time. You can't even keep all this stuff straight. 456 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:29,479 Speaker 3: They're gonna have a narrative during the week of New 457 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 3: Hampshire where if Trump is first or second, it's gonna 458 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 3: be it's not enough. And then they're gonna have some 459 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 3: narrative when Trump runs the table on a bunch of 460 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,359 Speaker 3: other states, which I think we all know is coming, 461 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 3: and he's gonna run the table by huge, huge numbers. 462 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 2: So you see what I mean. Like they're just I 463 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 2: think it's kind of sad. Their argument's kind of sad, 464 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:47,120 Speaker 2: like they need to think. It's desperate. 465 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 1: It's also the argument that the DeSantis and Haley team 466 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 1: are making right now. 467 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 3: Speaking of sad, I think they're very sad, which. 468 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 1: Comes back around to I don't even think we got 469 00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:58,439 Speaker 1: a single call about it. 470 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 2: This is important, right. 471 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:06,400 Speaker 1: I always say be careful how much attention you pay 472 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:11,359 Speaker 1: to social media, because social media is a pen prick 473 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 1: of the actual electorate. And if you followed social media, 474 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:20,680 Speaker 1: the Veke looked dominant on social media. He was incredibly 475 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 1: skilled and a droit at moving social media in his favor. 476 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 1: He got seven point seven percent in Iowa, which was 477 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,120 Speaker 1: a very good performance. I think if you had said 478 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,399 Speaker 1: when Viveke entered the race, hey, he's going to come 479 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,639 Speaker 1: in fourth, that would have been a very good result. 480 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 1: I mean, there are a lot of professional politicians that 481 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:41,160 Speaker 1: Theveke outlasted, but well he created. 482 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 3: Hold on but on the Viveke than Clay. He created 483 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:49,159 Speaker 3: this bubble of invincibility from MAGA attack because he was 484 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,680 Speaker 3: basically running as an adjunct of the Trump campaign. Haley 485 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:56,640 Speaker 3: and DeSantis and well Chris Christy not really that much 486 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 3: because it never really got any numbers. There's been there 487 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 3: have been millions and millions of dollars spent by Trump 488 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 3: packs and by the Trump campaign to smash those guys. 489 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 3: The worst that Vivey got was one tweet like he's 490 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,919 Speaker 3: not MAGA, and then a day later, psych, he's MAGA. 491 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 2: I love him. We were just kidding. So you know, Look, 492 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 2: it's like what Vivek did. 493 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 3: On the one hand, I can see it as people 494 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,600 Speaker 3: seeing it as as brilliant because he was able to 495 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:26,239 Speaker 3: get as much as he did and as far as 496 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,399 Speaker 3: he did without it. But he was only able to 497 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,919 Speaker 3: do it because he wasn't really running to be president 498 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 3: and that was the and I said that all along 499 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 3: he wasn't running to be president, which was quite clear. 500 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,439 Speaker 3: I think they're going to go back again retrospectively. I 501 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 3: think this race is over right. 502 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 1: And by the way, what I wanted to say was 503 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,880 Speaker 1: on Monday, sorry, Tuesday, we said, hey, if you think 504 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 1: the race is not over, call in. We got one 505 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:51,680 Speaker 1: call on that issue from people saying the race not over. 506 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 1: What did I say to start the show today? How 507 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 1: do you want DeSantis to finish the race? The Dysantis 508 00:24:57,880 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 1: people have just thrown in the towel. Even the die 509 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:01,919 Speaker 1: hearts that are listening to us right now, they're like, 510 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:07,640 Speaker 1: it's over. I think the retroactive retrospective analysis of this 511 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:11,280 Speaker 1: campaign is going to show one that you couldn't win 512 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:15,160 Speaker 1: once Trump got indicted. I really think you couldn't win 513 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,359 Speaker 1: unless you ran a perfect campaign. But I think the 514 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:21,200 Speaker 1: data is going to reflect that if you wanted to win, 515 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,520 Speaker 1: you had to go directly after Trump and throw punches 516 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 1: at him. And it seems to me that both Nicki 517 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:33,640 Speaker 1: Haley and DeSantis, who are the final candidates standing, we're 518 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:37,240 Speaker 1: trying to have it both ways. They wanted Trump's supporters 519 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 1: to like them, but they never really went aggressively after 520 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 1: Trump enough to actually beat him. Now, Vivegue didn't even 521 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,680 Speaker 1: go after him, right, The guy who actually went after 522 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,439 Speaker 1: him was Chris Christy. He never had the actual he 523 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 1: was basically saying he's the best president since George Washington 524 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 1: or something. I mean, it's not just he didn't go 525 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 1: after him. And this is what I mean. 526 00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 3: I again, I see the great sides of the vague. 527 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,719 Speaker 3: I totally respect his skill, his acumen, his intelligence. On 528 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:06,119 Speaker 3: a personal level, I like Viveke, but he wasn't running 529 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,359 Speaker 3: for president. The whole thing was kind of it felt 530 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 3: a little scammy. Okay, he's running to be there on 531 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,400 Speaker 3: behalf of the Maga campaign or of the Trump campaign 532 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 3: on stage swatting at other people. And it was brilliant 533 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:23,359 Speaker 3: for him, like what he did for Viveke was totally effective. 534 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:25,760 Speaker 3: But for a lot of us, I think we're sitting 535 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,440 Speaker 3: here saying, okay, but if you do, you can't say 536 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,200 Speaker 3: that someone's the best president in the history of the 537 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,200 Speaker 3: Republic and they're running but you're also running. 538 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 1: I think that there was, Yeah, I think there was 539 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:40,160 Speaker 1: a lane where, like Chris Christy basically just ran a 540 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 1: campaign that was Trump is evil. Stop Trump at all costs. Yeah, 541 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:47,119 Speaker 1: stop Trump at all costs. That doesn't win, right. But 542 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,320 Speaker 1: I think there was a lane and I don't think 543 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 1: anybody hit it where you ran and said Trump is 544 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 1: not the right choice. I'm gonna rip Trump, but I'm 545 00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 1: gonna tell you why I'm the right choice. And I 546 00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 1: don't think anybody actually ran that, right, Like, there there 547 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,639 Speaker 1: is a lane where Trump was really good but his 548 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 1: time has passed. We got an old guy running, Joe Biden. 549 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,440 Speaker 1: But I think you don't even think that. 550 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,720 Speaker 2: I don't look I I I think what iway. 551 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:20,159 Speaker 3: Showed everybody is that it's still Trump's Republican Party, and 552 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:24,719 Speaker 3: the party, by by substantial majority, does not want to 553 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 3: move on. They want to give him another shot. Now, 554 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 3: if that is macro level analysis, that is accurate, I 555 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 3: think a lot of this other stuff. 556 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 2: Is almost uh it's it's shoot. 557 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,479 Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, no, I could could anything really have 558 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 3: to given the actual mood as we are seeing it 559 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:48,159 Speaker 3: from the polls of the Republican primary electorate, Is anything 560 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 3: that any of these candidates could have done or would 561 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 3: have done, going to change that? 562 00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 2: I don't think so. I don't think it does. 563 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 1: I would like to see the multiverse where Trump never 564 00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 1: gets charged. The ray if there are no charges that 565 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 1: are ever brought against Trump, I think is a totally 566 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:09,679 Speaker 1: different race. I think as soon as Biden and his 567 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:13,440 Speaker 1: Department of Justice and the State of New York charged Trump, 568 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:19,960 Speaker 1: they opened up a situation where the rallying effect behind 569 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:23,440 Speaker 1: Trump made it almost impossible for anybody else to win. 570 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:25,959 Speaker 3: And here's the part of this that we all have 571 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:30,919 Speaker 3: to understand. And I think I say this as motivation. 572 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:35,359 Speaker 3: I say this as motivation for the Republican Party for 573 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 3: all the close races for the almost certain Trump reelect 574 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 3: campaign coming up. If the whole game was to indict 575 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,000 Speaker 3: Trump so he could win, so then they could beat 576 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 3: him in the general and they pull that off, our 577 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 3: party should be ashamed, ashamed of how foolish we are. 578 00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,840 Speaker 3: So we have to make sure that that does not happen, 579 00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 3: because if that does happen, we will have been out maneuvered, swindled, 580 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 3: and schooled by the Biden Pelosi Democrats. Just want to 581 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 3: go on record that is the truth right now, everybody. 582 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 3: So we better win this one because we will have 583 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 3: egg all of everyone who votes for Trump, everyone who 584 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,720 Speaker 3: votes republic in this fall. If Biden ends up winning 585 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 3: and it's all because of these indictments, it's on us 586 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:25,840 Speaker 3: for walking into the trap. So the answer here is, 587 00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 3: of course Trump's gotta win. We just got to make 588 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 3: sure Trump wins. It's true, you know, I mean, I mean, 589 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 3: you're right. 590 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 1: They have laid they did exactly what they wanted to do. 591 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 1: I think they made the calculated decision that if they 592 00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 1: indicted Trump, it would make Trump the nominee, and a 593 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,080 Speaker 1: lot of Trump people don't want to hear that Biden 594 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:47,480 Speaker 1: wants to run against Trump. 595 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 3: If you do what I'm saying, that they've raised the 596 00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:53,480 Speaker 3: stake such that if Biden, let's just say, beats Trump, 597 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,280 Speaker 3: it changes. If you're right and it turns into Michelle Obama, 598 00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 3: well that's a whole other plan. Then the plan wasn't 599 00:29:58,640 --> 00:29:59,720 Speaker 3: really just the indictment. 600 00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 1: Well, I think I think that I think they would 601 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:05,080 Speaker 1: be acknowledging that the plan wasn't working and basically breaking 602 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,880 Speaker 1: the glass for Michelle Obamas to play if. 603 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:11,080 Speaker 3: They continue with Biden in this race. The plan was 604 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 3: always Biden v. 605 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:12,719 Speaker 2: Trump. 606 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:14,959 Speaker 3: Understand that now we need to own that if they 607 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,040 Speaker 3: continue with Biden the race, which I think they will, 608 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:22,000 Speaker 3: clay Thing's probably not. But that also means we need 609 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 3: to see that we will be as a party, as 610 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 3: a movement made to look like utter fools. If Joe 611 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,920 Speaker 3: Biden is getting sworn in again, and you want to talk. 612 00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 1: About four D chess, this would have been they set 613 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 1: down a couple of years out and said this is 614 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 1: what we're going to do. We're going to bring charges 615 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four like that. I really think that 616 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,600 Speaker 1: is what they have decided to do. I think this 617 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:49,600 Speaker 1: is a calculated decision, and now it's their faces. The 618 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:51,880 Speaker 1: outcome determines the wisdom of the strategy. 619 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 2: You're correct. 620 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,719 Speaker 3: The outcome determines the wisdom. So because man it is 621 00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:58,600 Speaker 3: if this, if that is anyway, we're motivated, We're gonna 622 00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 3: get it done. Trump's gonna get it done. I gotta 623 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,200 Speaker 3: say one thing that we haven't talked about very much. 624 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:07,560 Speaker 3: Has Trump had a single in terms of just winning, 625 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:11,360 Speaker 3: in terms of brute force politics of winning. Has he 626 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:13,720 Speaker 3: had a single misstep really in his campaign? 627 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:14,520 Speaker 4: Uh? 628 00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:14,960 Speaker 2: This? 629 00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:18,120 Speaker 3: You know this past year, whether it was not debating 630 00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:22,360 Speaker 3: the different candidates, the whole the vake ploy all this, 631 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,200 Speaker 3: I think the Trump campaign has actually shown a lot 632 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:30,840 Speaker 3: of a lot of dexterity, the influencer campaign online keeping everybody, 633 00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,640 Speaker 3: you know what I mean, like they they they're probably in. 634 00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 1: I think the best thing that this is one thing 635 00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,240 Speaker 1: that I do think is blown up on democrats. I 636 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:43,000 Speaker 1: think Trump not being on Twitter helps him immensely. I 637 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:46,520 Speaker 1: really do, because the people who would otherwise be obsessed, 638 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 1: they're lazy, and they don't go to truth social. 639 00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:52,240 Speaker 3: They just funny, it's true, they have they have no idea. 640 00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:54,600 Speaker 3: Only the only people know it's on true Social or 641 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:55,280 Speaker 3: Trump voters. 642 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 2: That's right. 643 00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, So he gets his message out without getting the 644 00:31:59,040 --> 00:31:59,840 Speaker 1: constant like. 645 00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,600 Speaker 2: Oh, oh my god, the world's gonna end.

He hasn't even 697 00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:38,719 Speaker 1: I said, very cute, He's very fluffy.

Just 702 00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:52,279 Speaker 1: a puppy has already got you. Oh, it's just just 703 00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:55,200 Speaker 1: a little chirping during the show. Two years ago, you 704 00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:58,279 Speaker 1: would have lost your mind over a dog barking at 705 00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,520 Speaker 1: your feet during a show. I can neither confirm nor 706 00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:03,279 Speaker 1: deny this analysis. 707 00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:03,960 Speaker 2: I'm going to. 708 00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:07,279 Speaker 3: Move to the phone calls. Going to move to the 709 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:10,880 Speaker 3: phone calls. We have Sean in New Jersey. What's up Sean? 710 00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:14,359 Speaker 3: Or Terrence in Florida? How about that? 711 00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:16,839 Speaker 2: Hi? 712 00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:18,800 Speaker 4: Buck and Clay didohs you guys? 713 00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:21,080 Speaker 2: Jega did oh sir? Thank you? 714 00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:25,520 Speaker 4: You? Bet Okay. So, in conjunction with the Jamie Diamond 715 00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:30,719 Speaker 4: statement about the border, he also said, my heart is 716 00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:35,200 Speaker 4: a Democrat, my brain is a Republican. So my thought 717 00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:38,560 Speaker 4: was this, I said, Now you're a world banker. You 718 00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:42,319 Speaker 4: banked in Benzeuela, You've banked in Argentina. How can you 719 00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,640 Speaker 4: have compassion? Why do you think that there's any compassion 720 00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:47,000 Speaker 4: for socialism? 721 00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:48,920 Speaker 3: I can I tell you Terrence what he's what he's 722 00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:53,600 Speaker 3: saying there, because because I think it's important he's saying 723 00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,960 Speaker 3: when he says, my heart is Democrat. Democrats are all 724 00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,879 Speaker 3: about intention, right, Clay. It's all about, oh, I want 725 00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:02,239 Speaker 3: to help poor people, or I want there to be 726 00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:04,440 Speaker 3: total equality, or I want there to be these things. 727 00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:08,640 Speaker 3: Republicans are about what is and what works and what 728 00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:15,280 Speaker 3: is true. And so Diamond recognizes that mentally, intellectually, but emotionally, 729 00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:17,520 Speaker 3: he wants to be thought of as a person who helps. 730 00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:20,880 Speaker 1: I also think part of this is just this is 731 00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:22,840 Speaker 1: what you have to say in order for people to 732 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,960 Speaker 1: accept the second part of what you say. In New 733 00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:28,120 Speaker 1: York and in la I think there are a lot 734 00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:30,239 Speaker 1: of people out there who say, oh, you know, I'm 735 00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:34,640 Speaker 1: fiscally conservative, but I'm socially liberal, and they're not even 736 00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:36,680 Speaker 1: acknowledging what social liberalism is. 737 00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:36,920 Speaker 4: Right. 738 00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:40,919 Speaker 1: There's a difference between hey, I think a gay person 739 00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:44,160 Speaker 1: should be able to marry another gay person, and hey, 740 00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:46,120 Speaker 1: I believe that you should be able to steal anything 741 00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:48,240 Speaker 1: you want and nobody should ever get put in prison 742 00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:50,719 Speaker 1: like there's a wide scope there, and that's what they're 743 00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:51,480 Speaker 1: trying to get away with.
