He is a Fox 28 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 1: News contributor and opinion columnist for The Messenger. Joe, it 29 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 1: was a big night on Monday. 30 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,399 Speaker 2: Was a big night. Not shocking necessarily, Tutor, because we 31 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,039 Speaker 2: saw polls going into it. For you have Donald Trump 32 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 2: in Iowa leading Iron DeSantis, a very formidable candidate with 33 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 2: a great record to run on from Florida, by something 34 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 2: like forty points. And when this was called in thirty 35 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 2: one minutes, the Trump victory park, he wasn't even ready 36 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 2: to start celebrating yet. They didn't know the call. What 37 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,559 Speaker 2: happened that quickly, But this is historic. We haven't seen 38 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,919 Speaker 2: a Republican win Iowa by more than twelve points, I believe, 39 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 2: and that happened something like thirty years ago. Bob Dole, 40 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 2: I think it was in ninety six So when Trump 41 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 2: wins here by more than four touchdowns, that tells you 42 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 2: that despite all the felony counts and despite all the 43 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,399 Speaker 2: negative press and January sixteen played on a loop, Republican 44 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 2: voters are flocking to him once again. And if you're 45 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 2: on DeSantis and he went to all ninety nine counties 46 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 2: and you have this great story to tell around your 47 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 2: successes in Florida, and then you look up and you're like, wow, 48 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 2: I just lost by thirty points. I don't see a 49 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 2: road ahead for mister DeSantis. He's going to get smoked 50 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 2: in New Hampshire. Nicky Halley and Trump appear to be 51 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,919 Speaker 2: the only two here at this point that we could 52 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 2: see some competition perhaps in New Hampshire. So I'll pull 53 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 2: out today, Trump forty, Halle forty. I don't know how 54 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 2: real that is. I know Democrats vote in that particular primary. 55 00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 2: But in the end, this is Donald Trump's nomination to 56 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,079 Speaker 2: loose once again, and we could be seeing another rematch 57 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,079 Speaker 2: or a rematch with Joe Biden in November. 58 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: So here's my question for Republicans. Because you bring up DeSantis, 59 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 1: like put all of his eggs in the Iowa basket. 60 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: He was there. He was there starting in the summer, 61 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: started door knocking. A lot of people thought that was 62 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 1: a little strange to door knock in the summer. But 63 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 1: he started this like strong ground game, and that's what 64 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 1: we keep hearing from the grassroots side of the party, 65 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,080 Speaker 1: like we've got to have a better ground game. Is 66 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 1: it that the ground game didn't work? Is it just 67 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: that Trump is that strong? Why Why if he put 68 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: all of this effort into Iowa did he come out 69 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: so far behind Trump? 70 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 2: I think in the end it was hard to draw 71 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 2: contrast to it, or between a DeSantis record and a 72 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 2: Trump record. They basically stand for all of the same 73 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 2: things when it comes to immigration, education, spending, energy, independence, 74 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 2: you go down the line. I don't see any daylight 75 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 2: between Trump and the Santa. So then it comes down 76 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 2: to a personality contest, I suppose, and in that sense, 77 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 2: Ron DeSantis, for whatever reason, despite winning by nineteen points 78 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 2: in November twenty twenty two, Remember Republican's supposed to be 79 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 2: a red wave. It was a red ripple. They couldn't 80 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 2: win back the Senate. DeSantis was a lone bright spot 81 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 2: and at the time looked like the guy who was 82 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 2: going to carry the Republican Party forward. But he just 83 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 2: has an issue, for whatever reason, connecting with people in 84 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 2: a way that makes them feel confident in voting for him. 85 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 2: And plus Donald Trump. Your remember said that he could 86 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 2: go out in the Fifth Avenue in New York City 87 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 2: shoots somebody and his supporters would still be there for him. 88 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 2: He was half joking around that, and it's probably true 89 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 2: because again, here you have a guy facing ninety one 90 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,479 Speaker 2: felon accounts and his poll numbers keep going up. So 91 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 2: for DeSantis, he had to battle all of this. And 92 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 2: from a media perspective, if you watch any interview with 93 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 2: DeSantis or with Halley, sixty percent of the questions are 94 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 2: about either how poorly they're pulling and they have to 95 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 2: defend that, or the questions are about Donald Trump, where 96 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 2: sometimes they would have to defend him as far as 97 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 2: these cases are concerned, and they never could define them. 98 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 2: So particularly DeSantis, I think he lives to play another day, 99 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 2: probably in twenty twenty eight. Ronald Reagan lost in seventy six, 100 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,599 Speaker 2: came back in one in eighty. I'm not saying DeSantis 101 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 2: is Reagan, but I think if DeSantis Fran Tutor against 102 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 2: John McCain in two thousand and eight or Mitt Romney 103 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 2: in twenty twelve. He probably wins the nomination, but this 104 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 2: is against Trump, and as we saw with Jeb Bush 105 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 2: and Scott Walker, two other popular governors, it's just impossible 106 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,239 Speaker 2: to beat this guy int your party because he connects 107 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 2: so well with people. 108 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 1: Right after Iowa, you see vivig Ramaswami, he steps out 109 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,480 Speaker 1: of the race. He endorses Donald Trump. Asa Hutchinson, if 110 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: you remembered that he was in the race, he got 111 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: out of the race as well. Stepped out of the race. 112 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 1: So now you have Ron DeSantis Nikki Haley. How long 113 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: did they stay in. 114 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,359 Speaker 2: I think Haley stays a little longer for the reasons 115 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,039 Speaker 2: I mentioned before, as far as she will be very 116 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 2: competitive in New Hampshire, she could even win New Hampshire. 117 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 2: Maybe I would bet on Trump if I were in 118 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 2: Vegas right now, but I don't think he'll win by 119 00:05:58,360 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 2: a heck of a lot. And then it moves on 120 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 2: to places like South Carolina, which is Nicky Haley's home state, 121 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,039 Speaker 2: but a state that Donald Trump also won overwhelmingly in 122 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 2: twenty sixteen and twenty twenty. So I think DeSantis gets 123 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 2: out after New Hampshire because I just don't see a 124 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,359 Speaker 2: path for him moving forward. The donors are going to 125 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 2: start going away. They already are going away, and when 126 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 2: he finishes, a very distant third in New Hampshire that 127 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:24,119 Speaker 2: Paul I mentioned before was Trump forty Halley forty DeSantis four. 128 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 2: I think at this point, if he wants to save 129 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 2: some face, he'll get out after New Hampshire, and then 130 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 2: Haley if she does poorly in her own home state 131 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 2: of South Carolina, then she's out as well, and Donald 132 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,600 Speaker 2: Trump is on his way once again to focusing on 133 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 2: the general. I will say Trump's victory speech last night, 134 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 2: he was very magnanimous. He wasn't angry Trump. He didn't 135 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,600 Speaker 2: take a lot of pot shots at people. I think 136 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,160 Speaker 2: we saw a little preview what we're going to get 137 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 2: in the general, which is the charming Trump, not so 138 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 2: much the angry Trump. Charming Trump does very well, angry 139 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:53,840 Speaker 2: Trump not so much. 140 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: Right, It's almost a return to twenty sixteen. And you've 141 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,480 Speaker 1: you constantly get the question like attracts people to Trump? 142 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 1: And last night I was on TV and people were 143 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: asking me what attracts people to Trump? And I'm like, 144 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 1: He's that guy that you think you can just talk to, 145 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: you can just share your stories with. And I mean, 146 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: I've had this experience. He really is. I when a fuck. 147 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 1: A couple of weeks ago, we had something going on 148 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: in Michigan and I was like, I never call him, 149 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 1: but I'm like, you know what, I'm gonna call him 150 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 1: and ask for advice. This guy is the president, he 151 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 1: was the president of the United States. He picks up 152 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: his phone on the third ring, He's like, hey, what's up, 153 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: you know, and then at the end of the conversation 154 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: he goes, Hey, just want you to know your dad 155 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: would be proud of you right now because he knows 156 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 1: I lost my dad last year. And it's like this, 157 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 1: that's the kind of thing that when you talk about 158 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 1: Desantism personality, that is the thing that people see in him. 159 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 1: It's not even that it has to happen to them. 160 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 1: They see it, They understand it. They get that sense 161 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 1: that he actually cares about people. He remembers things about them. 162 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 1: But you said something about Santas and I want to 163 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: ask you because you said you think that he could 164 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 1: be a contender in twenty eight. So if he does 165 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 1: not get out now I see this becoming he really 166 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: is going against Trump, and those Trump supporters start to say, hey, 167 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 1: you got the message, you didn't leave. Now we're going 168 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 1: to shun you from the party altogether. Is he at 169 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: that critical moment where he has to step out and 170 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 1: endorse Trump to win those people back. 171 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 2: Absolutely, that's a great observation, Tutor. I mean, I'll give 172 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 2: you an example of where we've seen this movie before. 173 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 2: His name is John Kasik. He was governor of Ohio. 174 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 2: He had a sixty something approval rating in Ohio when 175 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 2: he decided to run for president, and he was somebody 176 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 2: I'll be totally transparent. Well, I supported early on in 177 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 2: that process because I felt he was the type of 178 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 2: guy that could win Democrats and independence and the kind 179 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 2: of a folksy style to him. But then Kasik stayed 180 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 2: in that twenty sixteen race way too long and extended 181 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 2: that process out until May when he obviously had no 182 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 2: shot in February. So yeah, that's what DeSantis would have 183 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 2: to do. He would have to get out after New Hampshire. Fine, 184 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 2: he put a lot of blood, guts and resources into 185 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 2: this race. He shouldn't quit just after one second place 186 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 2: finish in Iowa. But after New Hampshire, I would think, 187 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,559 Speaker 2: get out, endorse Trump, and then Trump despite all the 188 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 2: horrible things he said about him, and some of it 189 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 2: was dishonest, right he said that Ron DeSantis was a 190 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,959 Speaker 2: lockdown governor and kept Filorida closed too long. We all 191 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 2: know that wasn't the case, but hey, it worked. I 192 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 2: guess yeah. I think he endorses Trump and then Trump 193 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 2: in kind then accepts the endorsement and stops the nastiness. 194 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,679 Speaker 2: And if Trump wins in twenty twenty four and DeSantis 195 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 2: decides to run again, who knows, maybe Trump would get 196 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 2: behind him, because at this point on the Republican bench, 197 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 2: I'm not sure who else runs at this point that 198 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 2: has the kind of name recognition that DeSantis would happen. 199 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 1: Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on 200 00:09:52,840 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: a Tutor Dixon podcast. This election started so early, and 201 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: it seems like for Rondo Santis, it just started too 202 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 1: early and he peaked too early. And I've had politicians 203 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: or people hoping to get into politics who are running 204 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,679 Speaker 1: for office and they're like, I want to get ads 205 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 1: out there, I want to get my name out there. 206 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,719 Speaker 1: And I just had this conversation with someone last week 207 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 1: and I was like, you know what, I think we 208 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 1: call this the Rondo Santis. Now, you don't want to 209 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: peak too early because then all the arrows are coming 210 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 1: for you. And it's funny because people who haven't lived it, 211 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 1: they don't get it. And he was like, oh no, no, 212 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,079 Speaker 1: I know that you didn't want that, but that was 213 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 1: because you didn't have any money in the governor's race. 214 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: I want to peak now. I want to make sure 215 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 1: people know my name. And I'm like, no, it's not 216 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 1: a money game. It's about it's like there, you have 217 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 1: to have a strategy, and I think that that's what 218 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 1: happened to DeSantis. You'd be like, I got the money, 219 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,680 Speaker 1: I'm going to go out there and do this. When 220 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,679 Speaker 1: will people learn this is not that's not how politics work. 221 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's such a well, particularly an age 222 00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 2: of social media, where you're out there whether or not. 223 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,680 Speaker 2: If you're not on TV, you're not at a rally, 224 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 2: you're constantly on social media, and after a while a 225 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 2: fatigue factor does come in. Donald Trump has a sense 226 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,200 Speaker 2: of humor and he could be entertaining during these rallies 227 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 2: and on social media. So it works for him because 228 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 2: remember he jumped in November of twenty twenty two, right 229 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 2: after Desantus one, he decided that, Okay, I'm going to 230 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 2: go on the attack early. But Trump's just a different animal. 231 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 2: No rules really apply to him, clearly. But I did 232 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 2: find it funny last night, Tutor that MSNBC announced to 233 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 2: their viewers that they will not show Donald Trump's victory 234 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 2: speech in order to protect the viewers from all the 235 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 2: eyes that he was probably going to tell. And then 236 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:42,080 Speaker 2: CNN Jake Tapper jumps in. Once Trump starts talking about 237 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 2: all the millions of illegals coming into this country draining 238 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 2: all of our city budgets, like in places like New 239 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 2: York and New York, we're cutting sanitation, education, library funding, 240 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 2: and police so we can house and take care of 241 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 2: these people that are here illegally. Trump starts to talk 242 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 2: about this, and Jake Tapper says, well, we want to 243 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,959 Speaker 2: cut away from this because we know that the big 244 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:08,719 Speaker 2: lie is not something that we will freely broadcasters. I'm paraphrasing, 245 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 2: but you're just sitting there like shaking your head, like 246 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 2: these people are insane. 247 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,080 Speaker 1: I mean, but that's because they are truly afraid of 248 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 1: the Democrats this time, because they're like, oh, my goodness, 249 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 1: they don't have a message. Trump won in twenty sixteen 250 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,080 Speaker 1: on the border message that was you know, we kept 251 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 1: hearing build the wall. People were chanting build the wall. 252 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 1: That was this big message in twenty sixteen, and it 253 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 1: was a winning message. I think that the media last 254 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,560 Speaker 1: night was shocked when the polling was showing that the 255 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 1: number one issue was immigration, and then they went, holy crap, 256 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,320 Speaker 1: this is a real problem because Joe Biden's been terrible 257 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 1: on this. He can't articulate anything about it, and they 258 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 1: haven't come out and said they're going to try to 259 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 1: even do anything about it. You have democrat I mean, 260 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,559 Speaker 1: your own may Adams is out there saying this is 261 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 1: a problem. You've got Mayor Johnson in Chicago saying this 262 00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 1: is a problem. You've got Katie Hobbs and Arizona say 263 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: this is a problem. I've got a problem with the 264 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,959 Speaker 1: federal government. They have an immigration problem that they can't 265 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 1: fix in time. 266 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 2: No, and I love the fact whenever Biden's asked about it, 267 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 2: or Karine Jean Pierre and they say, well, we have 268 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 2: a broken system that we inherited. They created it, of course, 269 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,320 Speaker 2: and Congress must act. They say it over and over again. 270 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:24,319 Speaker 2: Republicans are blocking our efforts to fix the border. No 271 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 2: Congress did act, and it happened last May. It was 272 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 2: called the Secure the Border Act, where they called for 273 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 2: more border agents, completion of the wall, remain in Mexico, 274 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:37,839 Speaker 2: policy reinstated, and the laws on the books actually enforced. 275 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:41,959 Speaker 2: What is disagreeable about that? I have no idea And instead, 276 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 2: again again Tapper last night, I found the code. Actually 277 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 2: he said that Donald Trump was attacking immigrants to this country. 278 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 2: See that's where the lie is actually, because he was 279 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,200 Speaker 2: attacking the fact that illegal immigrants are coming into this 280 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 2: country and hundreds are on the FBI Terror watchlers by 281 00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 2: the way. But no, it's painted as Donald Trump is 282 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,320 Speaker 2: anti immigrant. They're going to go down this road again, 283 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 2: just like they did in twenty sixteen, that Trump is 284 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 2: xenophobc and he's racist and xyz. You know what all 285 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,679 Speaker 2: I know is in twenty sixteen, the Hill where I 286 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 2: worked at the time, we looked at all the newspaper 287 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 2: endorsements throughout the country, major newspapers, and out of fifty nine, 288 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 2: fifty seven endorsed Hillary Clinton. You know what that got her? Tutor? 289 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 2: I believe it was a concession speech and a set 290 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 2: of state knives. In other words, it meant nothing. All 291 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 2: these endorsements and all this media against Trump only helps him, 292 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 2: if you could believe that, right. 293 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 1: I know, she had her tour of mourning, remember, which 294 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 1: she was permitted because if you are a Democrat, you 295 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 1: are permitted to go around and complain about the fact 296 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 1: that you lost an election. That is not the case 297 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 1: if you are a Republican. You must never speak of 298 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 1: it again. I mean, it is just like such a 299 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 1: double standard. And I thought that last what we saw 300 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 1: on Monday night with the election and with what you're 301 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 1: talking about with MSNBC and CNN and all these folks, 302 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 1: it was like a preview of what stick because we 303 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 1: all remember twenty sixteen when everybody was crying on TV 304 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 1: and they couldn't believe it. But I think that they 305 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 1: truly are in a state of shock. But this is 306 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 1: the thing that Chris Christy got wrong. Because Chris Christy 307 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 1: came out and said there's no such thing as a 308 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: Trump voter, And I'm telling you there is. If you 309 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 1: look at Iowa, they were everybody was saying, nobody's going 310 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: to come. I said, there is no snow that is going. 311 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 1: No weather, no cold, nothing that is going to keep 312 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 1: those Trump supporters home. They don't come out for everybody else, 313 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 1: like you said for endorsements of Hillary Clinton. I mean really, 314 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 1: even when Trump endorsed other candidates, myself included, those Trump 315 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 1: supporters don't come out for people other than him. So 316 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 1: Democrats are freaked out. 317 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 2: They're freaked out, Tutor, because they also look at polling, 318 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 2: like one came out from ABC News yesterday. We have 319 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 2: Joe Biden currently polling at twenty eight percent approval among independents. 320 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 2: He's lost fifteen points of black support, He's lost double 321 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 2: digit support of Hispanic support, women voters, independent voters. He's 322 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 2: at thirty three percent overall. Let's put that in context. 323 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 2: No president, no incumbenty that has ever looked to be 324 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 2: re elected, has ever won the presidency for a second 325 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 2: term when they're pulling below forty percent, and you got 326 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 2: Biden seven points below that. And it's not like he's 327 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 2: a fine wine, right, He's more like cottage cheese. In 328 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 2: other words, he's not going to get better with age. 329 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 2: He seems to be more and more isolated. They're putting 330 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 2: him in more and more vacations and just away from cameras. 331 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 2: When was the last time this guy even held a 332 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 2: press conference or did any interview with anybody considered remotely 333 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 2: to be somewhat a journalist. It's been He can't win 334 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 2: by the basement strategy this time because he has this 335 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 2: thing called a record that he has to defend when 336 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 2: it comes to prices are still going up. Don't tell 337 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 2: me inflation's going down, because it's not. It's just not 338 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 2: going up as fast. So that's not how it works. 339 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 2: So prices are still going up. Gas prices are going up. 340 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 2: People are choosing between heating and eating. Crime is obviously 341 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 2: a huge issue of major American cities. Education test scores 342 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 2: are at a thirty year low. We talked about the 343 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,119 Speaker 2: crisis that is a catastrophe at the US southern border, 344 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 2: and unless these wars are something going to end in 345 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,439 Speaker 2: the Middle East and in Ukraine, this is going to 346 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 2: be going on as well, where the world increasingly feels 347 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,639 Speaker 2: like it's on fire. If all these things hold, I 348 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 2: don't see how I don't care about all the anti 349 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,119 Speaker 2: Trump sentiment in the world. In the end, people vote 350 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 2: for candidates more than they vote against them, and Donald 351 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:27,920 Speaker 2: Trump has a superior edge right now. 352 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 1: But you can see that they are considering pushing him out. 353 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 1: There's a lot of there's a lot of pressure to 354 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 1: push Biden out. You see it in the news. You 355 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,159 Speaker 1: see it, and I mean there's a I think an 356 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,679 Speaker 1: op ed yesterday that was saying, get Kamala out and 357 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 1: put Gretchen whitmor in. I mean, how would that go? 358 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 1: How could you even if you are on the Democrat side, 359 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 1: how could you even think about removing Kamala Harris from 360 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 1: the ticket and leaving Joe Biden there? Like that would 361 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 1: be a cardinal sins? So what do they do? Can they? 362 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,479 Speaker 1: Can they push him out? I think Basher Andy Bisheer 363 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:03,119 Speaker 1: in Kentuck starting this federal pack seems a little weird 364 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 1: right now because he is a guy that people like. 365 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 1: He has a good favorability, He is a Midwesterner. People 366 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,399 Speaker 1: would kind of say, Okay, this guy, he's moderate. I 367 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:18,159 Speaker 1: can he has a red legislature, he is in a 368 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:22,239 Speaker 1: southern Midwestern state. Maybe he would be good. Is that 369 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,880 Speaker 1: something that you could see them doing? And how does 370 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:26,199 Speaker 1: that affect this election? 371 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 2: It's funny two years ago today, actually I wrote a 372 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,960 Speaker 2: column when I was with the Hill saying that Andy 373 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 2: Basheer is the future of the Democratic Party for all 374 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 2: the reasons you just mentioned that. When you win in 375 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:42,479 Speaker 2: a red state like Kentucky as a Democrat and then 376 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 2: you have to work with that legislator and your approval 377 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 2: is in the sixties or high fifties, that is a 378 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 2: very intriguing candidate. Plus, obviously he's not eighty one years 379 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 2: old and again not going to be cottage cheez where 380 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,160 Speaker 2: he gets worse with age, because he still's got plenty 381 00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,119 Speaker 2: of years in front of him. It makes sense. The 382 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,159 Speaker 2: question is how do you do it? Hey, I'm not 383 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 2: convinced that Joe Biden would automatically just shake his head 384 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 2: and say ya, you're right, I'll step aside, you know. 385 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 2: I mean, this seems to be a guy who has 386 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,119 Speaker 2: we talked about Trump's ego, there's quite the ego on 387 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,359 Speaker 2: Joe Biden as well. So I don't think he'll step 388 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 2: aside very easily. He'll very easily just push back and say, 389 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:17,640 Speaker 2: wait a minute, I got more votes than any presidential 390 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 2: candidate in history, eighty one million. If you could believe that, 391 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 2: why should I not get a chance to defend my title? 392 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 2: So to speak. As for pushing Kamala Harris out for 393 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,919 Speaker 2: a Gretchen Whitmer, good luck with that, because you think that, 394 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,640 Speaker 2: you know, the reaction on MSNBC and CNN is hysterical 395 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 2: to Trump. You remove the first female vice president of color, 396 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,440 Speaker 2: and you don't really have a good reason for it. 397 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 2: I'm sorry you think you're alienating black voters and female voters, now, 398 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 2: forget about it. It would just look so funny, and no 399 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 2: one votes for a vice president anyway. So you could 400 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 2: put Sigourney Weaver out there. I'm sorry, Gretchen Whitmer that 401 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,639 Speaker 2: the resemblance is remarkable, but I just don't think that 402 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 2: really solves the problem. I think in the end, Biden 403 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,360 Speaker 2: would have to willingly step aside, and then you could 404 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 2: put in either A but Sheer. I guess a k Newsom. 405 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 2: You hear about Michelle Obama. I don't think she wants 406 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,680 Speaker 2: any part of thing for president. She's very happy winning 407 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 2: Emmy's on Netflix and living on Martha's vineyard. Right, Yeah, 408 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,399 Speaker 2: I just don't see unless you get to Sheer. I 409 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 2: think that's the only bible option. Because Newsom records of 410 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 2: messes swell in California, so I see that as an 411 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 2: a star. 412 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 1: Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on 413 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:27,480 Speaker 1: the Tutor Dixon Podcast. All Right, so we think we've 414 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,640 Speaker 1: got this figured out. It's going to be Trump and Biden. 415 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:33,400 Speaker 1: Who does Trump choose as a VP? Is there any 416 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 1: chance that Nikki Haley is his VP? I think no. 417 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 1: I think that that's just I mean some of the 418 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,360 Speaker 1: staff has made it clear there's no way. And if 419 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 1: she continues on, I think that that's going to be 420 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:46,200 Speaker 1: even more detrimental to her. 421 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 2: Interesting. All right, I'm gonna come with my pick right now. Okay, 422 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,920 Speaker 2: I hope you're sitting down all right? Are you ready? Yep? 423 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 2: Damn it. I was going to be ultramatic about this. 424 00:20:58,080 --> 00:20:58,960 Speaker 2: Do you have a middle name? 425 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 1: I do have a middle name. Yeah, it's not. 426 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 2: A Wikipedia they who's give the middle name? What's your 427 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 2: middle name? Oh? Okay, Holland? Yes, okay. So now I've 428 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 2: just ruined the whole joke. But now I think Tutor 429 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 2: Holland Dixon will be your vice presidential think now, I yeah, 430 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 2: I think you. I want you as governor of Michigan, 431 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 2: so to stay there. That's fine. Vice president or president 432 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:26,199 Speaker 2: one day, certainly. But let's see if I were to 433 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:27,919 Speaker 2: make a choice right now, and I don't know if 434 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,200 Speaker 2: it's the right choice. Christy Noms seems to be somebody 435 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,679 Speaker 2: who fits the bill as far as what Trump is 436 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 2: looking for. He wants somebody who's impossibly loyal, and that's Gnome. 437 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 2: She looks good on TV. I know that sounds. Don't 438 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 2: look at me as being the misogynist, But I think 439 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:44,359 Speaker 2: Trump understands that. 440 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:49,400 Speaker 1: You know, politics is Alwa says straight out of Central casting, right. 441 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,359 Speaker 1: I mean, he gets it. He understands what people are 442 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,440 Speaker 1: interested in. As sad as that may be. 443 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean even even the gal that's running 444 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 2: his legal team right now. I mean that you're like, wow, 445 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,200 Speaker 2: it always seems to go down that route. Now, I'm 446 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 2: not saying that's a bad thing, all right, And I'm 447 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 2: not saying that's the only reason why Christy Nome would 448 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 2: be chosen. Obviously, she's a very popular governor, red state 449 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,359 Speaker 2: South Dakota. Obviously that doesn't get you anything electorally. But 450 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,440 Speaker 2: I don't remember the last time you choose the vice 451 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,119 Speaker 2: president and then he helps you carry a state. I 452 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 2: think that's kind of right. 453 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 1: I mean, I think that I can see how the 454 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 1: Democrats would be looking that way because they're trying to 455 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 1: get some of these swing states. But for Donald Trump, 456 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 1: I think that I agree with you that Christy Nome. 457 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 1: She came out and she was like, you know, I'm 458 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 1: not going to lock down my state. She was strong 459 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,880 Speaker 1: from the beginning on that, and that is something that 460 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,639 Speaker 1: the Trump base is like, we want someone who is 461 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,359 Speaker 1: going to stand up for us. So she's kind of 462 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 1: like the female version of him. Now. Granted, South Dakota 463 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 1: is a much different state. I mean South Dakota is like, 464 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 1: you know, eight hundred and fifty thousand people compared to 465 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,680 Speaker 1: other states, so it's different. But people still see her 466 00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 1: as kind of that warrior. 467 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:02,199 Speaker 2: Absolutely. I just I haven't seen enough of her on 468 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,680 Speaker 2: a national stage. In other words, are we getting another 469 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:08,440 Speaker 2: Sarah Palin in terms of can she handle the national 470 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 2: media and all the scrutiny that's going to go into 471 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 2: her life? Right? I mean, we saw what happened in 472 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 2: Breck Havanall. They're going all the way back to his 473 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,119 Speaker 2: sophomore year of high school to try to find something 474 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,919 Speaker 2: on them. So but what I have seen an interview, 475 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 2: she does seem strong, So I think it's known, but 476 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 2: I keep hearing these whispers about Nicky Haley, Nicki Haley, 477 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:30,159 Speaker 2: and Trump hasn't gone after her as hard as he 478 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 2: has other candidates. And that tells me something a little bit. Now, 479 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 2: the core core Trump supporters like Steve Bannon and Roger 480 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:41,120 Speaker 2: Stone and some others on the right do not want 481 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:45,359 Speaker 2: Nicky Halley anywhere near the vice presidency because they believe 482 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 2: that she's a warmonger and she's bought off by corporations 483 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:50,919 Speaker 2: and all these things that you hear. But let's face it, 484 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 2: every poll that you see Wall Street Journal, for example, 485 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,160 Speaker 2: you have Halle beating Biden by seventeen and Trump only 486 00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,159 Speaker 2: beats him by four. There was another one out I 487 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,200 Speaker 2: believe it was ABC again that shows Haley by ten 488 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 2: and Trump by four. So she does bring in more people. 489 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,199 Speaker 2: And if the goal is to win, and vice presidents 490 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 2: don't have a lot of responsibility anyway, Kamala, then is 491 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 2: it really that bad to have Nicki Haley on the ticket? 492 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 2: I don't think so well. 493 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 1: And one thing I can guarantee you is it doesn't 494 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 1: matter what people around him are saying. If he decides 495 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,199 Speaker 1: that that's the choice he's going to make, it is 496 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 1: going to start and end with what Donald Trump thinks. 497 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 1: So and none of us will ever know what that 498 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 1: is until he says it. Yes, that's just how it 499 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 1: goes when you're dealing with Donald Trump, which is why 500 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,919 Speaker 1: I think people love him, because they're like, you know what, 501 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 1: anything can happen, but ultimately he's going to stand for 502 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:41,640 Speaker 1: the American. 503 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,360 Speaker 2: People absolutely, And you're right, he's his own man, and 504 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,119 Speaker 2: no one's going to tell him how to think. And oh, 505 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,919 Speaker 2: by the way, all these poor Trump people again that 506 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,880 Speaker 2: you see on social media, for example, saying he better 507 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,480 Speaker 2: not pick Haley or what you're not going to vote 508 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,720 Speaker 2: for him, please stop it. He doesn't lose one supporter 509 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 2: because he has Nicky Halley on his ticket. So those 510 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 2: are my final two. It's Haley or Gnome. I think 511 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 2: it's it is a female. I don't think it's Vi 512 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 2: vike Ramaswami. But they will have some sort of position 513 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,919 Speaker 2: within the administration. But I don't see him being a 514 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 2: vice presidential paper. I don't know. It's just a gut feeling. 515 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:18,480 Speaker 1: Well, I agree. I think that because Donald Trump doesn't 516 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 1: want someone who is him in a different body. You know, 517 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,359 Speaker 1: he doesn't want somebody to upstage him or try to 518 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 1: upstage him, and that I think is what we've seen 519 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 1: out of a fake. So I agree with you. I 520 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,120 Speaker 1: think he'll have a role that will not be the role. 521 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 1: But before I let you go, we have to have 522 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,200 Speaker 1: a serious conversation about the Stanley water bottle. 523 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:42,199 Speaker 2: Well, it's interesting you bring that up, tutor. Yeah, the 524 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,959 Speaker 2: Stanley water bottle is something that my daughter really really 525 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,639 Speaker 2: wanted for Christmas. And she's like, oh, I want the 526 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:53,119 Speaker 2: Stanley Cup. And I'm like, oh, man, you know my 527 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:54,879 Speaker 2: brother worked for the Devils years ago. I don't know 528 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:56,719 Speaker 2: how do I get my hands on this thing? And 529 00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 2: then I asked my wife, I go, what's the Stanley cup? 530 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,439 Speaker 2: That camera? I took her to one game last year 531 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 2: and suddenly she loves hockey this month she said, no, no, no, 532 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,480 Speaker 2: it's it's a thing that girls used to drink out 533 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 2: of around her age. She's ten years old. Like, oh, well, 534 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,240 Speaker 2: who cares? Why do these things go for like ten bucks? 535 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 2: I look out of Amazon, forty dollars for this thing 536 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 2: that basically just holds water like any other kind of 537 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 2: cup that you may own. So yeah, we got her one, 538 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:22,199 Speaker 2: but now she doesn't like the color of it, so 539 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 2: she wants another one. So I have her doing eight 540 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,919 Speaker 2: jobs in order to earn forty dollars, and that's that's 541 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:28,240 Speaker 2: the way it's going to go. I don't give away 542 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 2: anything you got to earn in this household. Dude. 543 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, well I agree this. We've had this same thing 544 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 1: in our house. It's like for months now, all I've 545 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,920 Speaker 1: heard is I want to Stanley and so our kids. 546 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,200 Speaker 1: This drives my mom crazy because they have to take 547 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 1: a water bottle to school. Like when I was a kid, 548 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,159 Speaker 1: you just were thirsty all day or and then you 549 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 1: went home. I mean, I just don't remember having to 550 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 1: carry my bottle with me everywhere I went. But now 551 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,879 Speaker 1: kids take their water bottle to school. So we have 552 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,440 Speaker 1: a million water bottles in the house. And I was like, 553 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 1: you are not going to bring another water bottle into 554 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,399 Speaker 1: this house. Like I'm done. I opened the cabinets and 555 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 1: they're falling on me and they're like please, everybody has 556 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:09,920 Speaker 1: a Stanley, so same, I'm like, okay, let me look 557 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,200 Speaker 1: at this. I was like, what are they made out 558 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 1: of gold? Like why are they so expensive? This is ridiculous. 559 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:21,040 Speaker 1: So finally, after Christmas, my mother in law had given 560 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 1: them money and they went to their dad, and they 561 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:26,240 Speaker 1: were like, Daddy, could you please take us? So finally 562 00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:30,120 Speaker 1: we said okay, and he goes to the store with them. 563 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:34,159 Speaker 1: They come back and he goes. So they all wanted 564 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 1: these water bottles. He said. They were all like forty dollars, 565 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:42,080 Speaker 1: except there was this one purple one that my one, 566 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:46,879 Speaker 1: my youngest, wanted. He said, seventy dollars for water bottle. 567 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:48,720 Speaker 1: He said. I looked at her, I was like, sorry, 568 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,359 Speaker 1: the seventy dollars water bottle is out. I mean, so 569 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 1: if you go to certain colors then they get more expensive. 570 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:58,000 Speaker 1: It's ridiculous. So then he just couldn't stand this because 571 00:27:58,040 --> 00:27:59,680 Speaker 1: he was like, I got a research this. How did 572 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:00,399 Speaker 1: this happen? 573 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:00,720 Speaker 2: You know? 574 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:05,200 Speaker 1: He says, look at this. In twenty nineteen, the whole 575 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 1: company Stanley, they ended up with like seventy million in profits. 576 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 1: He said, in twenty two after influencers came in and 577 00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,200 Speaker 1: they had this whole like marketing campaign. But it's kind 578 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,640 Speaker 1: of like a organic marketing campaign here, because it really 579 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:23,199 Speaker 1: is these influencers over seven hundred million. Wow, best marketing 580 00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:24,960 Speaker 1: campaign ever and you. 581 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:28,439 Speaker 2: Have four right, so yes, forty forty forty fifty I mean, 582 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 2: I mean you just spent a seventy I guess maybe 583 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:32,400 Speaker 2: maybe you spent on them. You're talking nearly two hundred 584 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,720 Speaker 2: dollars for something that holds water that it does and 585 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 2: they don't even look all that spectacular. I don't I know. 586 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 2: Guess it just comes. It has a life of its own. 587 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 2: Hopefully Stanley is smart enough not to hire a Dylan 588 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 2: Muldany to be the next influencer. If they want to 589 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 2: kill the company, that's how you. 590 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:48,800 Speaker 1: Do it, right. I don't know what. I don't know 591 00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 1: who they've hired, but I have Pinterest is doing a 592 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 1: fantastic job with little girls because I get these little 593 00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,600 Speaker 1: things from my girls.
