This episode, our 0:00:22.617 --> 0:00:26.257 friend Ryan Gardusky joins to lay out for us all 0:00:26.257 --> 0:00:29.217 the most important things in politics. He's got a phenomenal 0:00:29.377 --> 0:00:31.497 sub stack. I subscribe to it. I read it every week, 0:00:31.497 --> 0:00:34.337 the National Populist news Letter. I think you should check 0:00:34.377 --> 0:00:36.737 it out on a subsac dot com type in National 0:00:36.737 --> 0:00:40.897 Populas Newsletter or check out Ryan Gardusky's name. Mister Ryan, 0:00:41.217 --> 0:00:43.017 let's start with something before I ask you to start 0:00:43.017 --> 0:00:48.057 telling me how things are looking going into Iowa now 0:00:48.177 --> 0:00:51.297 less than two months away and all this stuff. George 0:00:51.337 --> 0:00:55.497 Santos as we speak right now, has been expelled from 0:00:55.897 --> 0:00:59.977 the Congress. What's your take on this? And what do 0:00:59.977 --> 0:01:03.137 you think the GOP believes they've accomplished by doing this? 0:01:03.777 --> 0:01:04.097 You will? 0:01:04.137 --> 0:01:06.617 You know, George asked me be his campaign manager. I 0:01:06.697 --> 0:01:13.137 knew George back before all the controversy. I he told 0:01:13.177 --> 0:01:15.257 people we grew up together, which we did not. I 0:01:15.297 --> 0:01:21.737 don't know why he told people that he did. Yeah, 0:01:20.977 --> 0:01:25.497 uh you know, listen he uh be careful what you 0:01:25.537 --> 0:01:27.737 wish for. He really wanted to be famous, and he 0:01:28.017 --> 0:01:32.057 is famous for sure. And I think that Listen, he's 0:01:32.057 --> 0:01:35.497 a liar and I I I don't know if he's 0:01:35.817 --> 0:01:38.977 not gonna go I I you know his the case 0:01:38.977 --> 0:01:40.777 against him is very strong, and the likeoo him going 0:01:40.817 --> 0:01:44.057 to jail is very high. And I I see what 0:01:44.137 --> 0:01:47.497 they did. He also didn't help himself by not making 0:01:47.577 --> 0:01:51.497 friends so out the way yesterday famously, when Max Miller 0:01:51.497 --> 0:01:54.297 said that he has stole money, he said to Max Miller, 0:01:54.377 --> 0:01:58.257 will you beat women? Which is an allegation allegation of 0:01:58.377 --> 0:02:01.257 Max Miller's past. He was willing to burn every bridge 0:02:01.377 --> 0:02:05.177 on the way out, so he did in the end. 0:02:05.337 --> 0:02:07.417 I think this is actually not a great precedent though 0:02:07.497 --> 0:02:10.737 for Congress, because he has not been found guilty of 0:02:10.737 --> 0:02:14.937 any charges, and that is the precedent for everything going forward. 0:02:15.017 --> 0:02:18.137 He's one of six members own ever to get expelled 0:02:18.137 --> 0:02:22.337 from Congress. He's the first Republican to get expelled from Congress, 0:02:22.417 --> 0:02:24.977 and the other three members who had found the other 0:02:25.017 --> 0:02:26.817 five members who had found guilty of crimes in the 0:02:26.817 --> 0:02:28.337 court of law, and the other three were members of 0:02:28.337 --> 0:02:32.337 the Confederacy. So it's a very dangerous precedent. I think 0:02:32.457 --> 0:02:35.097 by doing this, I understand why they did it. I mean, 0:02:35.137 --> 0:02:38.217 he is, in my opinion, very clearly obviously guilty. He 0:02:38.217 --> 0:02:42.577 broke a lot of house ethic rules, So I get 0:02:42.657 --> 0:02:44.337 why morally they did it, but I do think this 0:02:44.377 --> 0:02:45.377 is a dangerous precedent. 0:02:45.537 --> 0:02:48.617 What was the what's of the allegations? Because you said, 0:02:48.657 --> 0:02:51.057 either there's there's a criminal component of this that's playing 0:02:51.297 --> 0:02:55.537 out alongside this simultaneously. What's the worst thing that he did? 0:02:56.897 --> 0:03:03.057 He stole He stole donors credit card information and used 0:03:03.057 --> 0:03:09.897 it for personal purchases for clothes, vacations, Botox only fans subscriptions. 0:03:13.137 --> 0:03:16.457 I think there's a wiring fraud charge. He made up 0:03:16.457 --> 0:03:18.417 that he had donations that he'd never had, which is 0:03:18.457 --> 0:03:22.697 an FBC violation, which was a criminal violation. He was 0:03:22.777 --> 0:03:26.897 taking money from other campaigns accounts that had the same 0:03:26.937 --> 0:03:29.897 treasure as him and wired them to his account, allegedly 0:03:31.577 --> 0:03:36.737 a lot of monetary fraud going on. He also there's 0:03:36.777 --> 0:03:38.457 a big question of his net worth. I think he 0:03:38.497 --> 0:03:40.577 went from something like having a net worth of seventy 0:03:40.577 --> 0:03:43.017 five thousand dollars in twenty twenty to having a networth 0:03:43.057 --> 0:03:46.697 of like two point four million twenty and he couldn't 0:03:46.697 --> 0:03:50.457 detail how that money got there. He wasn't able to 0:03:50.457 --> 0:03:52.297 sit there and say how he made millions of dollars 0:03:52.337 --> 0:03:55.657 in a very very short period of time. And he 0:03:55.697 --> 0:03:57.857 was running for Congress the entire time he was doing that. 0:03:58.457 --> 0:04:01.177 So there's a lot of questions into like where the 0:04:01.177 --> 0:04:03.257 money came from, where the money went, how money came 0:04:03.297 --> 0:04:05.977 into his account, what money he stole, what people's identity 0:04:06.017 --> 0:04:10.817 he stole, what credit card wiring fraud he stole. Yeah, 0:04:11.537 --> 0:04:13.537 not great, not great at all. 0:04:13.577 --> 0:04:16.017 I mean, so is it fair to say if he 0:04:16.177 --> 0:04:19.857 is found guilty of some of these things, he may 0:04:19.977 --> 0:04:20.777 be going to prison. 0:04:21.617 --> 0:04:24.937 Yeah, the chances of him going to federal prison are 0:04:25.217 --> 0:04:28.177 fairly substantially high. And his answer so far has been 0:04:28.177 --> 0:04:30.457 that it was the treasurer who did this. He had 0:04:30.497 --> 0:04:33.177 no idea. I know, his treasure She was like a 0:04:33.257 --> 0:04:36.017 in her late sixties, older lady who had been working 0:04:36.057 --> 0:04:40.497 in the business for decades and had a very good 0:04:40.537 --> 0:04:45.257 reputation before George. So I don't know, I don't I 0:04:45.297 --> 0:04:47.657 don't know what the court's going to find. At this point. 0:04:47.657 --> 0:04:49.417 It's going to be hard to find a jury that 0:04:49.417 --> 0:04:51.897 does not have an opinion on George Santos and. 0:04:52.177 --> 0:04:54.417 What was so you you know him a bit right? 0:04:54.497 --> 0:04:56.537 I mean you were his campaign manager at one. 0:04:56.417 --> 0:04:58.857 Point, asked me to be his campaign manager? 0:04:59.017 --> 0:05:01.737 Ask you his campaign manager? Yeah, I said no, what 0:05:02.057 --> 0:05:02.417 you said? 0:05:02.457 --> 0:05:02.537 No? 0:05:02.657 --> 0:05:06.497 Okay? Probably a good one of the best things I 0:05:06.537 --> 0:05:09.817 ever said. Did you get the sense and obviously you 0:05:09.897 --> 0:05:11.737 turn and down that job. Did you get the sense 0:05:11.777 --> 0:05:13.417 that there was something off about this guy? 0:05:14.017 --> 0:05:17.017 Well, he would always tell me how wealthy he was. 0:05:17.217 --> 0:05:19.857 And you know wealthy people, I know very wealthy people, 0:05:20.177 --> 0:05:23.417 and the wealthier someone is, the less they talk about money. 0:05:23.497 --> 0:05:26.017 There's an old saying that wealth whispers and money screams, 0:05:27.697 --> 0:05:30.017 and I just I knew enough wealthy. Like he would 0:05:30.057 --> 0:05:32.257 say he has a city car and then a long 0:05:32.297 --> 0:05:34.217 island car, and I'm like, these are things that not 0:05:34.257 --> 0:05:36.857 real people ever do, Like this is all kind of 0:05:36.897 --> 0:05:41.377 weird nonsense. And he'd always talk about money every chance 0:05:41.377 --> 0:05:42.737 that he possibly could, So that was a bit of 0:05:42.777 --> 0:05:45.817 red flag. And then one day he called me and 0:05:45.857 --> 0:05:48.057 he said that he was mugged in a parking lot 0:05:48.137 --> 0:05:51.177 and he said that they stole his bag, his briefcase bag, 0:05:51.457 --> 0:05:53.977 and he described he described like the model he described 0:05:53.977 --> 0:05:55.417 what it was made out of. He described like it 0:05:55.457 --> 0:05:57.457 was like a fifty thousand dollars bag and yah yahd 0:05:57.497 --> 0:05:59.897 YadA dad, And I don't remember the details now. It 0:05:59.977 --> 0:06:04.377 was like a alligator print burg and something insanely, something 0:06:04.497 --> 0:06:07.257 very hard to get. It's something that is very brands 0:06:07.257 --> 0:06:09.857 that are very expensive. Anyway, I called my friend, who 0:06:09.857 --> 0:06:12.697 was a very well known fashion designer, and I said 0:06:12.737 --> 0:06:14.617 to them, I said, oh, my friend just got robbed 0:06:14.617 --> 0:06:16.697 and he got robbed of his bag. And my friend said, oh, 0:06:16.737 --> 0:06:19.537 what was the bag? And I described exactly what georgiad 0:06:19.537 --> 0:06:21.737 told me, and my friend goes, yeah, that bag doesn't exist. 0:06:22.577 --> 0:06:24.857 He's like, that bag flat out does not exist. He's like, 0:06:24.897 --> 0:06:27.657 I know this, I know the brand that makes these bags. 0:06:27.697 --> 0:06:29.377 I know what bags they have. He's like, they do 0:06:29.457 --> 0:06:30.377 not make a bag like this. 0:06:30.377 --> 0:06:32.897 This is not Are you hold on a second. Are 0:06:32.937 --> 0:06:36.657 you sure they didn't make a special edition George Santos bag. 0:06:36.977 --> 0:06:39.137 He wasn't, He wasn't nobody at the time. He also 0:06:39.177 --> 0:06:40.657 told me that his house was robbed. 0:06:41.017 --> 0:06:42.137 I'm kidding, right, I'm kidding. 0:06:42.577 --> 0:06:44.217 I know, I know, I know. He told me that 0:06:44.257 --> 0:06:48.577 the Chinese Communist Party tried to kidnap his niece at 0:06:48.617 --> 0:06:52.017 one point, like they were so the lies were so 0:06:52.137 --> 0:06:56.257 extraordinarily large. I was like this, like this guy's following shit. 0:06:56.657 --> 0:06:59.177 But I just thought, when did this all start unrappling? 0:06:59.257 --> 0:07:01.817 It was stuff about his bio, right, like he lied 0:07:01.937 --> 0:07:03.657 about the New Year. 0:07:03.737 --> 0:07:06.297 Our last conversation George and I ever had was the 0:07:06.297 --> 0:07:08.017 New York Times. Was supposed to be doing this puff 0:07:08.057 --> 0:07:11.097 beast basically the first openly gay repubblic get elected, and 0:07:11.137 --> 0:07:14.057 he had flipped. He had the second highest result for 0:07:14.057 --> 0:07:17.217 a Republican running in a Biden district nationwide, and it's 0:07:17.217 --> 0:07:19.617 an extraordinary piece and yet or third, whatever the case. 0:07:19.657 --> 0:07:23.417 It was very very very amazing performance in a Biden district. 0:07:24.017 --> 0:07:26.497 And he they were supposed to be his puff piece. 0:07:26.577 --> 0:07:31.697 And the more they question him, the more they didn't like. 0:07:31.777 --> 0:07:33.697 Things didn't add up, And like you're from New York 0:07:33.737 --> 0:07:35.857 City like I am. He went to a Quney school 0:07:36.337 --> 0:07:38.497 and he said he was on the volleyball team at a 0:07:38.577 --> 0:07:40.337 Q school. I don't know if any Q schools that 0:07:40.377 --> 0:07:42.057 have a volleyball team. And then he said he played 0:07:42.177 --> 0:07:43.817 Harvard in the volleyball team. 0:07:44.417 --> 0:07:47.657 Harvard Definitely, that's almost like say you grow on the 0:07:47.697 --> 0:07:50.177 croquet team at a Quney school, Like that's not a 0:07:50.217 --> 0:07:51.057 thing that's really big. 0:07:51.657 --> 0:07:54.737 It made no sense. And then but like Harvard does 0:07:54.777 --> 0:07:58.297 not play Qunity schools in any sport ever, under any circumstance, 0:07:58.537 --> 0:08:01.297 like unless they fall. Like it's just everything was such 0:08:01.337 --> 0:08:04.617 an extraordinarily insane lie. And then I called him and 0:08:04.617 --> 0:08:07.537 I go, okay, well you need to hire a crisis 0:08:07.537 --> 0:08:09.617 management in person and you need to do this, and 0:08:09.657 --> 0:08:11.777 you need to do like whatever. And I said, what 0:08:11.937 --> 0:08:13.497 of this is not true? And He's like, the only 0:08:13.497 --> 0:08:15.657 thing that's not true about what I've said is I 0:08:15.697 --> 0:08:18.057 did I graduated from school when I never graduated. I 0:08:18.097 --> 0:08:20.257 don't think he even ever attended the college you said 0:08:20.257 --> 0:08:25.257 he attended. Everything was like a lie. And after a 0:08:25.297 --> 0:08:28.817 while I was like, okay, there's just never there's no 0:08:28.897 --> 0:08:30.897 light at the end of the tunnel. And then a 0:08:30.897 --> 0:08:33.977 friend of mine DM me a DM from a very 0:08:34.497 --> 0:08:36.537 left wing journalist, and he was dming. The left wing 0:08:36.577 --> 0:08:39.777 journalist was like, you should investigate Ryan Grudusky. So I 0:08:39.817 --> 0:08:43.377 was like, f this guy, I just have no patience whatsoever. 0:08:43.497 --> 0:08:45.337 And I was like, I'll just say what I know 0:08:45.457 --> 0:08:48.537 when I know it. But he was. I don't know, 0:08:48.577 --> 0:08:52.737 he was, just yeah, he lies. It's a compulsory problem. 0:08:52.737 --> 0:08:53.537 You can'tnot He. 0:08:53.497 --> 0:08:56.057 Cannot not lie, So can I can? I ask? I 0:08:56.377 --> 0:08:58.777 have some friends who on the right who are very 0:08:59.377 --> 0:09:01.777 bare knuckle on their approach to politics. And here's what 0:09:01.817 --> 0:09:04.257 they're shouting about right now, now that Sound Santos has 0:09:04.297 --> 0:09:08.137 been expelled. They're saying, why is it Senator Menendez expelled? 0:09:08.977 --> 0:09:11.537 And I don't really have a good answer for them, 0:09:11.657 --> 0:09:14.217 you know what I mean? Like Democrat senator from New Jersey. 0:09:14.537 --> 0:09:17.857 Second time he's been federally indicted, and he probably should 0:09:17.857 --> 0:09:21.577 have been convicted the first time. So, yeah, what do 0:09:21.617 --> 0:09:22.217 you say to that? 0:09:23.057 --> 0:09:25.497 I agree, I don't think I if I was a 0:09:25.577 --> 0:09:27.137 member of the House of Representatives, I don't know if 0:09:27.137 --> 0:09:29.577 I would have expelled him because I think it's a 0:09:29.617 --> 0:09:32.097 dangerous precedent. You don't The precedent is you have to 0:09:32.097 --> 0:09:34.217 be found guilty in a court of law before you 0:09:34.257 --> 0:09:36.897 are removed from office. That is the president. It's been 0:09:36.937 --> 0:09:39.417 the present in the House for over one hundred and 0:09:39.417 --> 0:09:42.617 fifty years. I think that it is a very dangerous 0:09:42.617 --> 0:09:46.497 president to set I think that Bob Menendez is likely 0:09:46.537 --> 0:09:48.457 to go to federal prison as well. If there's like 0:09:48.497 --> 0:09:50.977 an ounce of like a good jury in I don't 0:09:50.977 --> 0:09:52.897 know he's being convicted in DC or in New Jersey, 0:09:52.897 --> 0:09:56.377 but he clearly was like getting information, give me information 0:09:56.417 --> 0:09:59.857 to the Egyptian government like the guy was, or Turkish 0:09:59.897 --> 0:10:02.617 government whatever I think it was. The Egyptian. Yeah, Egyptian guy 0:10:02.737 --> 0:10:05.417 is clearly guilty as sin. He was probably going to 0:10:05.417 --> 0:10:08.497 see under age brothels in Dominican Republic before this he 0:10:08.617 --> 0:10:13.537 was the guy is guilty as anything. And uh, you know, 0:10:14.497 --> 0:10:16.977 I don't know George is not running for re election anyway. 0:10:17.057 --> 0:10:18.897 I guess you could have waited to see how the 0:10:19.297 --> 0:10:23.217 how it all bore out, but then the investigation happened. 0:10:23.257 --> 0:10:25.457 But I agree, I think that Bob and this should 0:10:25.457 --> 0:10:28.137 be indicted and impeached. Uh, if you're in if that's 0:10:28.377 --> 0:10:31.457 this is a new standard, A lot of people may 0:10:31.577 --> 0:10:33.697 end up a lot of people with some very shady 0:10:33.777 --> 0:10:37.017 information in their background may end up being not loving 0:10:37.057 --> 0:10:38.137 this is the new standard. 0:10:38.417 --> 0:10:41.537 Yeah, I mean it strikes me as okay, like this 0:10:41.657 --> 0:10:43.817 is the rule. Now just wait until they decide to. 0:10:43.897 --> 0:10:47.257 Meet you and then be impeached as well. Who what 0:10:48.737 --> 0:10:50.657 Jamal Blumman, who pulled the fire along. 0:10:51.297 --> 0:10:53.657 Oh yeah, I mean, I just I just feel like, now, 0:10:53.777 --> 0:10:56.457 just wait till they decide to you know, meet too 0:10:56.657 --> 0:11:00.657 some Republican like the Kavanaugh him basically and and it's 0:11:00.737 --> 0:11:02.497 just well, now now, now he has to be expelled 0:11:02.497 --> 0:11:04.977 from the Senate because there's an allegation against him, No 0:11:05.137 --> 0:11:07.217 due process, nothing, you're gonna say, you know, we know 0:11:07.297 --> 0:11:09.177 Democrats did they did it to Kavatoll. Why wouldn't they 0:11:09.177 --> 0:11:10.057 do it to remember the Congress? 0:11:10.817 --> 0:11:13.337 I agree, I agree entirely, and I agree that if 0:11:13.377 --> 0:11:15.697 this is the new standard, then bobmin And as one 0:11:15.737 --> 0:11:17.697 hundred percent should be removed from office. 0:11:18.977 --> 0:11:22.057 But it's not going to happen because the Democrats play tough. Brian, 0:11:22.057 --> 0:11:23.297 I want to ask you where we're going here with 0:11:23.337 --> 0:11:24.737 Iowa and all that stuff. So we'll get into this 0:11:24.817 --> 0:11:28.017 in just a second here as the actual votes are 0:11:28.057 --> 0:11:30.937 getting close to being cast.

I mean, we saw 0:12:36.577 --> 0:12:39.897 the DeSantis. We knew some debate. Is your expectation that 0:12:39.897 --> 0:12:42.657 that will move the needle at all for DeSantis or 0:12:42.737 --> 0:12:43.977 is it just kind of a spectacle. 0:12:44.577 --> 0:12:46.417 I think that for a lot of people who don't 0:12:46.497 --> 0:12:49.017 live online, it was a really good thing because he 0:12:49.137 --> 0:12:51.577 used a lot of things like like the map of 0:12:51.617 --> 0:12:54.137 all the ccs across San Francisco that it might like 0:12:54.177 --> 0:12:56.537 a lot of my relatives have never seen before because 0:12:56.577 --> 0:12:59.777 they don't live on Twitter like I do. Sometimes. There 0:12:59.817 --> 0:13:02.937 was a great debate thing, and the truth the matter 0:13:03.097 --> 0:13:05.577 is is that people like Desantas. He still has extremely 0:13:05.657 --> 0:13:09.137 high favorabilities among Republicans. It's not like twenty sixteen, where 0:13:09.177 --> 0:13:11.897 like Jeb was in the was in the dump after 0:13:12.457 --> 0:13:15.577 after the after the primary, because his reputation was destroyed. 0:13:15.737 --> 0:13:18.337 The Satan's reputation has not been destroyed. They he has 0:13:18.417 --> 0:13:22.577 just not sold anyone unliking him more than Trump, and 0:13:22.617 --> 0:13:25.097 he has not sold why he should be a preferred 0:13:25.177 --> 0:13:28.697 candidate more than Trump. And Trump's poll numbers in the 0:13:28.697 --> 0:13:32.097 general election have gone up over time, and the case 0:13:32.217 --> 0:13:34.697 of I will do better than him in the general 0:13:34.977 --> 0:13:37.337 is it's hard to make that case when the poll 0:13:37.417 --> 0:13:40.497 numbers are saying the other way. The other way around, 0:13:40.897 --> 0:13:43.377 but there's nothing Republicans love more than a Republican who 0:13:43.377 --> 0:13:45.097 beats up on the press of the Democrats, and he 0:13:45.097 --> 0:13:47.897 did a great job against Gat and Newsom. Newsom's entire 0:13:47.977 --> 0:13:52.257 argument was, Uh, the santans is really liberal but really conservative. 0:13:52.257 --> 0:13:55.417 He's liberal because he doesn't like cracking the Everglades, and 0:13:55.417 --> 0:13:57.457 he's liberal because he's supported amnesty, which I don't think 0:13:57.457 --> 0:14:00.737 he ever supported. And he's liberal because, uh, you know whatever, 0:14:00.737 --> 0:14:03.417 but he's actually too far right conservative. And it just 0:14:03.457 --> 0:14:11.497 never It was a very to wage against the Santas. 0:14:13.857 --> 0:14:16.937 He's going into the caucuses. Everything's on Iowa for him. 0:14:16.977 --> 0:14:19.137 It's not it's make or break, it's do or die. 0:14:19.257 --> 0:14:21.977 He's got the governor's endorsement. He probably might get one 0:14:22.057 --> 0:14:24.537 or two of the Center's endorsements. It's I got Bob 0:14:24.617 --> 0:14:28.617 vam Platt's endorsement. With evangelicals is very important. It's everything's 0:14:28.657 --> 0:14:31.217 on the ground, and it's a caucus. It's not a primary, 0:14:31.257 --> 0:14:34.377 so it's much much, much different. You have to show 0:14:34.457 --> 0:14:37.497 up at a school or church or wherever and caucus 0:14:37.537 --> 0:14:41.097 for seven eight hours of the day. And in some 0:14:41.137 --> 0:14:43.857 places they remove delegates around. If there's a tie, they 0:14:43.937 --> 0:14:47.977 draw straws, they flip cards. It's a very kind of archaic, 0:14:48.217 --> 0:14:53.217 very weird system in Iowa, and Trump lost Iowa the 0:14:53.217 --> 0:14:56.057 first time. Cruz came back at the very end and 0:14:56.177 --> 0:15:01.057 surprised everybody in twenty sixteen. In twenty twelve Hakabee, I 0:15:01.057 --> 0:15:03.537 think one or no Santorum and then and he came 0:15:03.577 --> 0:15:05.657 back from behind and won a surprise victory. And in 0:15:05.737 --> 0:15:08.257 Hakaby he had a surprise victory in oh eight. Iowa 0:15:08.377 --> 0:15:10.737 give surprises a lot to people, but they very rarely 0:15:10.777 --> 0:15:13.657 picked the nominee. I think going all in Iowa is 0:15:13.657 --> 0:15:16.017 probably not the smartest move politically. I don't know if 0:15:16.017 --> 0:15:19.657 it gives life to his campaign after Iowa, but it's something. 0:15:19.697 --> 0:15:21.057 But he has to win it. If he does not 0:15:21.137 --> 0:15:22.737 win it, he has to drop out. There's there's no 0:15:22.777 --> 0:15:25.857 other way around it. And Haley is surging I think 0:15:25.977 --> 0:15:29.737 everywhere else. But the problem for Haley is Haley has 0:15:29.777 --> 0:15:33.177 a large consensus vote of I don't like Donald Trump. 0:15:33.577 --> 0:15:36.537 Desanta's voter is I like Trump, but I also like you, 0:15:36.657 --> 0:15:38.977 but I think it's time for a new energy, or 0:15:39.057 --> 0:15:41.377 you know, you'll do your great government, or whatever the case. 0:15:41.857 --> 0:15:44.217 If the Santans drops out, in my opinion, seventy five 0:15:44.257 --> 0:15:46.417 percent of his voters are going to Trump. If Haley 0:15:46.497 --> 0:15:48.657 drops out, most of her voters are going into the Santas. 0:15:49.097 --> 0:15:53.297 So the argument that if you know, Haley is surging, 0:15:53.337 --> 0:15:55.217 so it's time for Trump doesn't has to drop out 0:15:55.217 --> 0:15:56.857 to give it to Haley. I don't think that. I 0:15:56.857 --> 0:15:59.537 don't think that actually materializes into anything real. 0:15:59.937 --> 0:16:02.337 All Right, I want the latest I want your latest 0:16:02.337 --> 0:16:04.417 analysis on the Biden question here in a second.

Ryan, I'm like losing my mind 0:17:27.417 --> 0:17:32.777 here because it's getting now. We're past the state. You 0:17:32.777 --> 0:17:35.937 know the state. I think Nevada, I think South Carolina, 0:17:36.697 --> 0:17:39.217 one or two other states were passed already where you 0:17:39.217 --> 0:17:41.777 could get a new candidate on the ballot easily, and 0:17:41.857 --> 0:17:44.217 everyone just keeps telling me it's not going to be Biden. 0:17:44.217 --> 0:17:45.617 I was at a dinner last night with a bunch 0:17:45.657 --> 0:17:47.537 of friends and I'm the only one who's saying, guys, 0:17:47.577 --> 0:17:49.737 it's going to be Biden. Slash Harris like it has 0:17:49.777 --> 0:17:52.017 to be one or the other or both. There's no 0:17:52.097 --> 0:17:56.137 other plan. Is there another plan? Really? Am I missing something? No, 0:17:56.777 --> 0:17:57.857 there is no plan. 0:17:58.257 --> 0:18:00.617 This is like only heard Oprah was going to be 0:18:00.657 --> 0:18:04.657 the Democratic nominee for thirty years. Michelle Obama is going 0:18:04.737 --> 0:18:07.017 to be the Democratic nominee, which she's not even interested 0:18:07.017 --> 0:18:09.817 in ever being in politics. She hates politics. There is 0:18:09.937 --> 0:18:13.737 no other plan. It is gonna be Biden, like unless 0:18:13.777 --> 0:18:17.577 he dies, there is or he is he has a 0:18:17.617 --> 0:18:21.057 serious injury that literally forbid him to run. He is 0:18:21.217 --> 0:18:24.857 going to be the Democratic nominee for office. I know 0:18:24.977 --> 0:18:26.977 that people sit there and say that seems like it 0:18:27.057 --> 0:18:29.377 is impossible. That is what they said in twenty twenty 0:18:29.537 --> 0:18:31.937 as well, like it is impossible he is just too old. 0:18:32.337 --> 0:18:34.937 He is going to be the Democratic nominee. He is 0:18:35.057 --> 0:18:37.177 his fake teeth are gonna sit there and smile across 0:18:37.217 --> 0:18:39.817 the stage as he says there in his defense Biden 0:18:39.897 --> 0:18:45.217 amics and his record and everything else. And I don't 0:18:45.257 --> 0:18:48.537 I just don't see in any capacity it'll be anybody else. 0:18:48.537 --> 0:18:50.857 And if something happens to him, it's gonna become a law. 0:18:51.497 --> 0:18:52.177 I know. 0:18:52.217 --> 0:18:54.377 And see we're like on an island by the way 0:18:54.417 --> 0:18:56.457 everyone else that I talk to about there's oh, it's 0:18:56.497 --> 0:18:58.697 gonna be there's gonna be a unity candidate that I'm 0:18:58.737 --> 0:19:02.857 like unity candidate at the m it's Biden. Biden is 0:19:02.857 --> 0:19:06.177 their unity the president. I totally, I totally agree. I'm 0:19:06.217 --> 0:19:09.657 living crazy here everyone. Everyone's coming up with these dudes like, oh, 0:19:09.657 --> 0:19:13.297 it's gonna be an RFK Junior and Michelle Obama ticket. 0:19:13.337 --> 0:19:15.497 I'm like, what are you like? This isn't you know, 0:19:15.737 --> 0:19:17.937 like an episode of the West Wing guys there, you know, 0:19:17.977 --> 0:19:20.497 there's some things that have to actually fall into place 0:19:20.537 --> 0:19:23.897 for this. So I appreciate talking about this because my 0:19:23.897 --> 0:19:26.577 my dms and my my you know, Twitter mentions or whatever, 0:19:26.577 --> 0:19:29.577 it's constantly I disagree with you it's gonna be you know, 0:19:29.657 --> 0:19:31.577 and they fill in the blank. It's not gonna be Bied, 0:19:31.617 --> 0:19:34.377 it's gonna be someone else. I'm like, guys, he's the president. 0:19:34.897 --> 0:19:37.577 He's running for re election, full stop. I don't know 0:19:37.617 --> 0:19:39.657 what else to say. I just like knowing, you know. 0:19:39.777 --> 0:19:43.417 Anyway, you know, there's a lot of people listen. If 0:19:43.417 --> 0:19:45.097 some guy's telling you the world's gonna end on a 0:19:45.097 --> 0:19:47.017 certain date, you generally don't sit there and change your 0:19:47.017 --> 0:19:49.097 whole life for them. A lot of people are believing 0:19:49.137 --> 0:19:50.697 a lot of crack pop policies. And I think the 0:19:50.737 --> 0:19:53.097 problem with Republicans is we're winning on so many issues 0:19:53.337 --> 0:19:55.297 or we're not having the same conversation as a lot 0:19:55.337 --> 0:19:56.977
