Obviously. The big story I'll talk about 0:00:31.840 --> 0:00:34.320 that a little bit in the opening is the Iowa 0:00:34.440 --> 0:00:39.440 Caucuses going on as we speak. And you know me, 0:00:40.400 --> 0:00:44.760 award winning journalist Jesse Kelly. I will keep you posted 0:00:44.800 --> 0:00:47.240 throughout the show in all serious is all throughout the show. 0:00:47.280 --> 0:00:50.199 If there are updates that I'm not promised you promising 0:00:50.240 --> 0:00:53.239 you there will be. If there are any updates from Iowa, 0:00:53.520 --> 0:00:57.400 we will keep you posted. So keep the dial right here. 0:00:57.840 --> 0:01:00.760 That's obviously happening tonight. We'll talk a bit about that, 0:01:01.240 --> 0:01:04.440 talk a bit about the future of the GOP primary, 0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:07.240 what it might look like from here. You have all 0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:10.399 kinds of questions and comments to Santsi's and Trump and 0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:12.600 Vivek and Nikki Hay and all kinds of other things. 0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:15.920 We'll talk about that. It's Metal of Honor Monday. That's 0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:19.479 an hour from now, we will honor another American hero. 0:01:20.200 --> 0:01:24.080 I'm going to open up phone lines tonight. I think 0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:29.960 it's been a month. Chris Jewish producer Chris is back 0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:33.680 in the house. Chris has it been a month. It's 0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:38.080 probably been close to that. Yeah, dang, okay, So don't 0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:40.040 call yet. No, no, no, no, no, don't call yet. In fact, 0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:42.280 I don't even remember the phone number, it's been so long, 0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:44.000 so I'll have to look that up and we'll do 0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:47.160 phone calls in a little while. Talk about this stuff 0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:53.720 going on with Iran. Yeah, they're launching missiles at US. Amnesty, pizza, 0:01:53.960 --> 0:01:56.680 the works, all that is coming up tonight on the 0:01:56.720 --> 0:02:00.480 world famous Jesse Kelly's show. I actually you want to 0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:05.680 begin with a very very positive message, I would say 0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:11.800 tonight Iowa caucuses are going on, as we already discussed, 0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:18.119 And here's the thing about politics, about primaries, which we're 0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:22.840 in right now, you only get one winner. There's no 0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:29.400 silver medal, there's no consolation prize. Only one person is 0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:36.320 going to emerge as the GOP nominee. And after tonight, 0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:43.800 there's a very good chance many of the campaigns are finished, 0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:47.880 maybe all but one. You could make that argument. We'll 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:49.520 get into the details of that in the moment, but 0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:53.440 that's not my point right here. My point is this, 0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:58.320 if you are one of the candidates, even the ones 0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:02.240 I despise, or more specifically, setting the candidates aside, because 0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:04.280 you know, I don't really care for politicians that much, 0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:07.120 even the ones I like. If you're one of the 0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:12.200 people who's been busting your butt on behalf of a 0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:16.320 presidential campaign, whether it's one I love or hate, or 0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:21.040 whatever it may be, and tonight doesn't go your way, 0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:25.160 and you, by the time your head hits the pillow tonight, 0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:30.840 you know it's pretty much over for you. If that's 0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:34.040 the case for you, maybe you're in Iowa as you 0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:36.240 as we speak, maybe you're listening to the sound of 0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:39.800 my voice. In Iowa. It's freezing, it's snowy, and you've 0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:43.000 been busting your butt and you maybe you've poured your blood, 0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:47.600 sweat in tears into a presidential campaign and by the 0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:51.480 time you go to bed tonight, it's over and your 0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:55.120 guy didn't win. I just want to tell you this. 0:03:56.840 --> 0:03:59.520 I don't know that it'll be it'll mean anything to you. 0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:02.080 I don't know the it will be worth anything to you. 0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:09.400 But I respect you and I appreciate you. And if everyone, 0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:14.720 if every citizen in this nation, every citizen who's blessed 0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:19.200 enough to live in this nation, cared as much as 0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:25.240 you care, there would be almost zero problems in this nation. 0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:32.000 Our problem is a lack of caring, a lost listless, 0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:36.240 apathetic people unable to save themselves as of right now. 0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:41.359 But that doesn't apply to you. This goes for every 0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:47.120 single campaign worker out there, every volunteer, people who've donated 0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:51.599 their time, their money. It's awesome what you did. And 0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:53.000 let me tell you something. Let me tell you a 0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:56.320 little story. Almost everyone knows this, but you know, I 0:04:56.400 --> 0:05:01.480 ran for Congress twice. I lost twice, so we'll focus 0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:04.239 on just one of the losses at this point in time. 0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:10.080 We poured our hearts into our congressional campaign. And I 0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:15.040 say we because it was a lot more than just me, wife, kids, 0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:21.040 Dad's gone all the time. Campaign workers, campaign volunteers, knocking 0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:25.159 on doors, making phone calls, bumper stickers, events, We got 0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:28.120 a drive six hours today, an event here, at event there. 0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:33.000 For a long time, busted our butts and then eventually 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:35.279 it all came down to election night. I won both primaries, 0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:36.880 so I know we're talking about a primary, but it 0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:39.360 came down to the general election night where I was 0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:42.719 up against the Democrat. And I remember it. I think 0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:45.640 I will remember it until the day I die. And 0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:49.400 the reason I say, that is this is what fourteen 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:51.840 fifteen years ago, something like that, And I still remember 0:05:51.880 --> 0:05:56.000 this moment crystal clear like it was yesterday. I remember 0:05:56.040 --> 0:05:59.279 the moment. We're in a hotel. It's the night of 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:01.599 the election, and we're in a hotel. We get a 0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:04.000 couple rooms in the hotel. Even though we lived in 0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:06.919 the area, this is Tucson. We got a couple rooms 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:10.520 in the hotel. Why well, we needed a room for 0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:14.680 me and family and another room for campaign staffers to 0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:17.039 get away from it all for a few minutes at 0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:19.960 a time, relax, go check on election results because it 0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:23.200 was a big campaign party in the hotel's restaurant. We 0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:26.880 had a big campaign party. All your supporters are there, 0:06:26.960 --> 0:06:30.400 the media is there, everyone's there, whatever, and you eventually 0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:32.719 need little breaks. You gotta go take a break, Shovel 0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:35.360 some food into your mouth, u'se the bathroom, drink some water, 0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:37.640 you know, relax for a few So we rented a 0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:41.720 couple rooms, Like I said, one was for me, the wife, kids, 0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:47.240 the other one was for mainly campaign workers. And we 0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:49.200 thought we had a really good shot at winning. We did, 0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:55.000 and I remember the campaign workers were tracking as the 0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:58.000 votes came in and they're they're sitting there, they're hitting 0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:01.680 refresh on the computer every five seconds. It should be 0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:04.320 at least every five minutes, but you can't help yourself. 0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:06.679 Is there a new batch? Check again, Check again, check again. 0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:09.640 And we were waiting on one big batch of votes, 0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:12.600 and that big batch of votes was really gonna determine 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:17.680 you're gonna win this, you're gonna lose it. And I 0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:21.720 walked into the campaign staffers room. Remember, all my supporters 0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:24.640 are there, and they all think we're going to win. 0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:28.200 Because your most hardcore supporters always think you're going to win. 0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:30.360 If you're listening to the sound of my voice right 0:07:30.400 --> 0:07:34.280 now and you're a Trump supporter in Iowa or elsewhere, 0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:37.760 you believe he's going to win. If you're a DeSantis 0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:41.120 supporter in Iowa, Florida, anywhere, you believe he's going to win. 0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:44.920 Most hardcore supporters always believe you're going to win. They 0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:47.320 believe you're the man, you're the chosen one, and you're 0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:50.080 going to win. And all my supporters believe that. So 0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:53.000 I walk in the hotel room of my campaign staffers 0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:55.080 right as they got a new batch of votes in, 0:07:55.120 --> 0:07:57.440 and they knew they had gotten a new batch. They said, Jesse, Jesse, 0:07:57.480 --> 0:08:00.240 we got a new batch. That's it refresh. And I 0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:02.200 can picture I'm not going to name him because I 0:08:02.200 --> 0:08:04.360 didn't ask permission before the show, but I can picture 0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:07.960 the look on my guy's face. He's staring at the computer, 0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:09.760 and I'm not staring at the computer. I'm staring at 0:08:09.800 --> 0:08:11.480 his face. I'm on the other side of the room. 0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:16.600 And I remember watching his face go from this. He 0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:21.320 was kind of lit up and excited too. It looked 0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:23.680 like somebody just ran over his dog right in front 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:26.880 of him. All of the light in his face just 0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:29.720 kind of went away. And I didn't have to ask. 0:08:30.560 --> 0:08:32.520 In fact, I didn't even say anything to him. I 0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:35.720 saw what happened to his face, and I just walked 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:37.320 over to him and I just patted him on the 0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:40.760 back and I said, I'm sorry, brother, And then I 0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:45.360 had to do one of the more difficult things I've 0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:48.280 had to do in my life. Walked back over to 0:08:48.320 --> 0:08:52.520 my room, talked to AB about it, and then we 0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:57.000 discussed it and we said, Okay, we lost. We now 0:08:57.040 --> 0:09:00.240 have to go out there and tell our people. Let's 0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:04.520 pick ourselves up. Put your chin up. These people deserve 0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:07.920 to hear from us. This is going to be hard. 0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:10.480 Let's do it. And we walked out of that hotel 0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:13.840 room and walked down to the big conference room area 0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:15.880 where they were all waiting, and they're all greeting you 0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:17.800 on the way by, and you can't tell them yet 0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:19.839 because you want to go tell everyone at once. Jesse, 0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:22.319 We're gonna do it, Jesse. I love you so much, Jesse, 0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:26.840 You're going to congress. I'm so proud of you. And 0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:28.560 then you had to stand up there in front of 0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:32.760 them as they all gather around and tell them it's over, 0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:38.000 and you're watching them cry, and it's hard. And a 0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:40.640 lot of campaigns are going to go through that really tonight. 0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:45.800 And I just want you to know I respect you. 0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:48.920 You're in the game. You put yourself in the game, 0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:53.360 you worked, you cared, and I think it's friggin' awesome. 0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:56.520 This applies to everyone who helped any candidate in even 0:09:56.559 --> 0:09:59.679 the smallest way. Thank you for caring enough about your 0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:03.400 freaking country. All right, now, let's discuss these Iowa caucuses 0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:06.680 here in a little bit more detail.

Now 0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:07.160 what Chris, Oh, I forgot I forgot to tell everybody 0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:10.240 Jewish producer Chris is back in the studio. I have 0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:13.880 permission to say now why he was gone. Chris had 0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:17.520 a baby. Chris and his lovely bride had a baby, happy, 0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:21.280 healthy baby. All is good. He is a new father, 0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:23.920 so he's half dead and looks like he hasn't slept 0:12:23.960 --> 0:12:28.520 in about five years. You thought Chris looked bad before? Goodness? 0:12:28.600 --> 0:12:30.760 What Chris? I was being nice. It's trying to be 0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:33.760 understanding anyway.

I don't know what 0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:52.320 this is, but I've decided that I'm a vest person 0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:55.760 and I'm gonna be purchasing more vests. Now back to Iowa. 0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:59.880 Let's start digging into some of your thoughts, opinions. Obviously, 0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:03.600 audiences all over the map on it, Jesse, today being 0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:06.240 Iowa caucus day, how would you gauge the size of 0:13:06.280 --> 0:13:08.560 the DeSantis caucus? So on and so forth, says, his 0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:12.760 name is TJ. Listen one, it's what time is it, Chris? 0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:17.760 It's six twenty three Eastern time. We don't have to 0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:21.480 guess anymore. You know, you don't have to guess. I 0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:24.320 don't have to guess. We don't have to make these predictions. 0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:28.360 And I know why we make the predictions. I know 0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:31.600 why I'm going to follow exit polls throughout the show 0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:34.280 to try to keep you updated on things. We make 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:38.880 predictions because we want, we want so badly to know 0:13:39.000 --> 0:13:42.800 the outcome already. We want to know the outcome. If 0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:46.280 you're a DeSantis supporter right now, you want to know 0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:49.400 did he win it tonight? Did he get blown out? 0:13:50.559 --> 0:13:53.080 Would you want to know? And I understand that, But 0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:55.920 all I'll tell you is just hunker down for a 0:13:55.960 --> 0:14:02.720 few hours and you're gonna know. And look, be honest 0:14:02.760 --> 0:14:05.160 with you, and look, I'm gonna talk to Trump supporters 0:14:05.160 --> 0:14:07.120 and vivic supporters. I'm gonna do all this right off 0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:09.920 the bat. So whatever it is, what it is. Listen, 0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:17.520 If you're a DeSantis supporter and Iowa doesn't go your way, 0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:22.720 the campaign is probably over. I'm not saying he'll stop 0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:26.760 campaigning because he has such a campaign infrastructure in place. 0:14:27.640 --> 0:14:31.520 But the Desanta's campaign went all in in Iowa, which 0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:34.320 was a very smart strategy. It was their only strategy. 0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:36.920 If you're gonna try to take down the Trump juggernaut, 0:14:37.360 --> 0:14:39.200 you have to go all in in Iowa and try 0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:41.280 to win the first state and game momentum from there. 0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:43.360 And he might do that, right might might happen a 0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:45.960 few hours from now. So I'm not bringing you down 0:14:46.040 --> 0:14:48.520 at all. I'm just we're having an honest conversation. Member, 0:14:48.520 --> 0:14:54.200 It's not your mommy's show. It's your daddy's show. He's 0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:57.240 it's probably over. If he doesn't win in Iowa, it 0:14:57.320 --> 0:15:01.480 probably is. If that happens to you tonight, I don't 0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:02.920 know why I'm in such a good moon trying to 0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:05.760 calm everyone down tonight. But if that happens to you tonight, 0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:14.040 remember something. Ron De Santis is an insanely successful, two 0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:17.400 term governor of one of the biggest, most wonderful, most 0:15:17.440 --> 0:15:22.080 important states in the country. If he got taken down 0:15:22.320 --> 0:15:27.920 or taken out by the Trump machine man, that's not 0:15:28.000 --> 0:15:32.840 exactly some horrible mark of shame. Trump's already been elected president. 0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:37.400 Trump's the most politically persecuted person in the country outside 0:15:37.400 --> 0:15:40.200 of the January sixth protesters. They're already in prison, so 0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:43.320 they get the number one spot. Other than that Donald Trump, 0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:45.840 who's probably going to be joining them, he's number two. 0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:51.040 If you get taken out by the guy who was 0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:55.600 the sitting president and now is facing so many indictments 0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:59.960 that the right is just blind with rage, then maybe 0:16:00.160 --> 0:16:03.960 you just ran into a buzzsaw. Maybe you ran into 0:16:04.000 --> 0:16:07.040 a title wave. And let me just tell you something. 0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:13.160 You can't fight the ocean. There's no shame if it 0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:16.800 ends tonight. If and I'm saying, if it ends tonight, 0:16:17.440 --> 0:16:20.680 there's nothing to be ashamed of. You made a run 0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:24.440 at it and it didn't work. If it works out 0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:27.440 that way tonight, all right, all right, Jesse. I'm a 0:16:27.440 --> 0:16:30.720 seventy five year old retired police officer, California conservative. On 0:16:30.800 --> 0:16:33.440 my life, my proposal is this, in order to save 0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:37.760 what's left, Donald and Vivek should join forces. Vivek should 0:16:37.800 --> 0:16:41.280 support Trump or support try to get Trump elected once 0:16:41.320 --> 0:16:43.960 he's in the White House four years. Donald supports Vivk 0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:48.120 for two terms during this period. Donald and vivec both Okay, 0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:51.000 stop for a second on this, and I'm not insulting 0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:55.040 the desire for what you just said. That'll be fine 0:16:55.040 --> 0:16:58.640 with me. But that's fine, right. I've made my thoughts 0:16:58.680 --> 0:17:00.960 known on all the candidates. You don't need me to 0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:03.520 go over all that again. If that happened to work out, well, 0:17:03.560 --> 0:17:05.880 that's certainly a lot better than a second Biden term 0:17:05.960 --> 0:17:10.000 or god forbid, Gavin Newsom or don't nobody wants that. 0:17:10.200 --> 0:17:12.840 I mean, could you imagine could you imagine this person 0:17:12.960 --> 0:17:16.040 taking over the realm oh okay, taking over the reins. 0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:17.080 I don't know why I can't talk, so. 0:17:17.240 --> 0:17:19.560 Okay, for the older adult, this is gonna be a 0:17:19.640 --> 0:17:20.239 humbling thing. 0:17:20.280 --> 0:17:21.359 I'm about to share with you. 0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:25.520 If someone is eighteen years old today, they were born 0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:26.800 in two thousand and five. 0:17:27.600 --> 0:17:32.240 Oh yeah, check that out. Think about that. Why is 0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:35.560 she so awkward? We can't have her anyway anyway? Yeah, 0:17:35.720 --> 0:17:38.600 that's obviously a preferred alternative to anything that's going on 0:17:38.680 --> 0:17:43.399 over there. But I think maybe it would also be 0:17:43.480 --> 0:17:49.440 a helpful time to have a talk about where we 0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:52.920 are as a country and how we can save it. 0:17:53.040 --> 0:17:56.120 Because we can save this place. We really genuinely can 0:17:56.240 --> 0:17:58.480 at least most of it. Much of it, I should say, 0:17:58.960 --> 0:18:02.560 can be saved. But what does saving it look like? 0:18:03.280 --> 0:18:06.720 How do we do it? And what's the country going 0:18:06.760 --> 0:18:10.960 to look like when we're done? Let's talk about that next. 0:18:13.400 --> 0:18:20.439 Jesse Kelly returns next. It is the Jesse Kelly Shoan 0:18:20.920 --> 0:18:24.560 Iowa Caucus night tonight. It is gonna be a huge 0:18:24.800 --> 0:18:27.840 caucus night, that's all. I know what, Chris, I don't 0:18:27.920 --> 0:18:29.639 know what your problem is. You know what, It was 0:18:29.680 --> 0:18:32.119 so much nicer when you weren't here. I'll just say 0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:35.959 it was nicer when Chris wasn't here, and we'll get 0:18:36.000 --> 0:18:37.760 the calls in medal of honor, money and all kinds 0:18:37.760 --> 0:18:40.040 of other stuff. All Right, So this guy said, we 0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:42.560 need Trump to win and then be Trump Vivak and 0:18:42.560 --> 0:18:44.800 then have Vivak eight years and stuff like that. Okay, well, 0:18:44.840 --> 0:18:48.680 first first, let me explain. And that's not a dumb 0:18:48.720 --> 0:18:51.000 email or not a dumb desire at all. I'm definitely 0:18:51.080 --> 0:18:56.440 not dogging on it, not at all. Remember the run 0:18:56.480 --> 0:19:00.760 for the presidency, the battle for the presidency, it is 0:19:01.800 --> 0:19:05.320 a very important battle. I'm not dismissive of that. I 0:19:05.320 --> 0:19:08.320 don't want you to be dismissive of that. But it 0:19:08.480 --> 0:19:14.000 is one of a million battles we need to fight 0:19:15.400 --> 0:19:19.159 on our way to victory. Look think of it like 0:19:19.280 --> 0:19:21.480 a war, any kind of a war. If it makes 0:19:21.520 --> 0:19:24.080 it easier for you to think, uh, the World War two. 0:19:24.080 --> 0:19:27.440 Everyone knows World War two. That's an easy one. When 0:19:27.480 --> 0:19:31.560 we talk about the battle for the presidency, I want 0:19:31.600 --> 0:19:34.080 you to think of it like this. Okay, we just 0:19:34.119 --> 0:19:37.520 got attacked in Pearl Harbor. We're at war with Japan, 0:19:37.680 --> 0:19:41.560 we're at war with Nazi Germany. We talk about the 0:19:41.600 --> 0:19:45.920 presidency as if the next day we need to invade 0:19:45.960 --> 0:19:48.200 Berlin and win the war, and then it'll be over. 0:19:49.440 --> 0:19:55.640 But that's not how it works. We have a million 0:19:55.880 --> 0:20:01.040 battles to fight and ground to take back before you 0:20:01.160 --> 0:20:04.840 get to Berlin, before you get close enough to drop 0:20:04.880 --> 0:20:09.280 a couple Adam bombs on Japan. There's a lot of 0:20:09.480 --> 0:20:15.480 work to do. Now, how do we save it? Well, 0:20:15.480 --> 0:20:22.199 win the presidency helps, but it isn't even close to 0:20:22.320 --> 0:20:27.840 what we actually need to save America. Because remember, we 0:20:27.960 --> 0:20:34.680 don't have a politician problem. We have a people problem. 0:20:35.119 --> 0:20:39.640 The politicians we have, as embarrassing as they are, they're 0:20:39.680 --> 0:20:44.560 an accurate reflection of the people of this nation. Not you. 0:20:45.320 --> 0:20:48.320 That sucks for you because they don't accurately reflect you 0:20:48.400 --> 0:20:52.320 at all, but they are an accurate reflection of the 0:20:52.400 --> 0:20:56.920 people of this nation. Our true battle is not the presidency, 0:20:57.080 --> 0:21:01.040 it's not the primary, it's not these things. Our true 0:21:01.160 --> 0:21:05.320 battle is a battle for the people. We save the 0:21:05.440 --> 0:21:11.359 country by having a national renewal of the people. And 0:21:11.680 --> 0:21:18.200 on that level, we are beginning, just beginning to see 0:21:18.240 --> 0:21:22.880 some wins. Every school board race. That's how you take 0:21:22.920 --> 0:21:26.639 back to America. You know that every state House seat, 0:21:27.400 --> 0:21:31.639 state Senate seat. You pack it up, your stuff leaving 0:21:31.720 --> 0:21:34.159 your blue area, get into a red area, becoming an 0:21:34.200 --> 0:21:38.080 activist running for sheriff, working for it. That is the 0:21:38.160 --> 0:21:42.480 victory that actually matters. That's how we save the country, 0:21:43.000 --> 0:21:48.959 not from Washington DC, out from the outside in America 0:21:49.080 --> 0:21:53.120 must be conquered from the outside inn, meaning the people 0:21:53.760 --> 0:21:57.960 in Then one day, once the people have been changed, 0:21:58.000 --> 0:22:01.680 once we have had a national reinn, then we will 0:22:01.720 --> 0:22:07.119 have a more a better crop of politicians in Washington DC. 0:22:08.320 --> 0:22:12.560 That better politicians only come with better people. We are 0:22:12.640 --> 0:22:17.840 beginning to get those wins. We have a long, long 0:22:17.920 --> 0:22:21.880 way to go and on that journey to final victory, 0:22:21.960 --> 0:22:25.680 which I believe we will see one day. You should 0:22:25.720 --> 0:22:28.200 know something else and a lot of people will experience 0:22:28.240 --> 0:22:35.679 this tonight. We're gonna have losses too, painful losses. Like 0:22:35.720 --> 0:22:38.640 I said tonight in Iowa, it's gonna be the It's 0:22:38.640 --> 0:22:43.320 gonna be the end for a lot of campaigns. It is. Frankly, 0:22:45.119 --> 0:22:47.639 it's the end for all of them. If Donald Trump 0:22:47.720 --> 0:22:50.320 goes in and curb stomps everybody in Iowa tonight, and 0:22:50.400 --> 0:22:52.399 he might, you know though, that might happen, and then 0:22:52.440 --> 0:22:56.679 it's over for everyone Else's over gone. Okay, you lost 0:22:56.720 --> 0:23:00.600 one doesn't mean everything is lost. There will be a 0:23:00.640 --> 0:23:05.600 million wins a million losses. But we save the country locally, 0:23:06.200 --> 0:23:09.200 not from the White House. Even if you could put 0:23:09.240 --> 0:23:13.120 the most perfect presidential candidate in the world and air 0:23:13.240 --> 0:23:15.600 drop him into the Oval Office right now and give 0:23:15.640 --> 0:23:20.040 him eight years as president, he wouldn't be near as 0:23:20.080 --> 0:23:23.000 effective as we need him to be because the people 0:23:23.119 --> 0:23:28.520 themselves are broken and in need of repair. Now what 0:23:28.520 --> 0:23:30.719 do I mean by that's what's a great example of that? Well, here, 0:23:31.000 --> 0:23:35.879 here's an example. The illegals. Look, and I'm not even 0:23:35.920 --> 0:23:38.600 gonna sit and dog on all the dirty communists. Come. Now, 0:23:38.640 --> 0:23:41.000 here's New York's very own Eric Adams. 0:23:41.040 --> 0:23:44.200 This has nothing to do with sanctuary cities. Mike is 0:23:44.240 --> 0:23:48.240 an asylum. Seek Is are parolled in to the countries 0:23:48.320 --> 0:23:51.200 they're here legally. And so when you have a national 0:23:51.280 --> 0:23:54.240 leader talking about sanctuary cities, the reason we have in 0:23:54.320 --> 0:23:56.920 is is telling me she's not knowledgeable on a real topic. 0:23:57.720 --> 0:24:00.720 Yeah, yeah, yeah, forget them, forget them. But let's let's 0:24:00.760 --> 0:24:03.800 take who you think the perfect candidate is or your 0:24:03.840 --> 0:24:06.640 preferred candidate, and we make them president Trump, Desanthus whoever 0:24:06.680 --> 0:24:08.520 you want, whatever, Vivik I don't care what there is 0:24:09.840 --> 0:24:13.399 they walk into the Oval office. What do we need 0:24:14.119 --> 0:24:17.440 as a country to help save this nation. Well, we've 0:24:17.480 --> 0:24:20.399 imported about eight million illegals in the last three years. 0:24:20.760 --> 0:24:23.600 Prior to that, it's been another thirty or forty million. 0:24:24.000 --> 0:24:27.400 We have to unload millions of people out of this country, 0:24:27.760 --> 0:24:31.360 meaning we are going to have to employ and expand 0:24:31.520 --> 0:24:34.720 ICE like no one has ever seen. And ICE is 0:24:34.800 --> 0:24:38.480 going to have to go begin arresting people and deporting them. 0:24:38.680 --> 0:24:41.600 We're gonna have whole families thrown in the back of 0:24:41.680 --> 0:24:45.040 cop cars during traffic stops because we're gonna have to 0:24:45.040 --> 0:24:50.000 start arresting illegals, all illegals on contact with law enforcement, 0:24:50.240 --> 0:24:53.639 and not only arresting them, packing them up and shipping 0:24:53.720 --> 0:24:56.159 them out of the country. Let me ask you a 0:24:56.359 --> 0:24:58.600
