00:02:59.000But part of the strategy was that they thought they had psychologically mapped out Donald Trump.
00:03:06.000The bad guys, the Valerie Jarretts, the Barack Hussein Obama's, the George Soros, the Lorene Powell Jobs, the Reid Hoffman's, they thought that they had mapped Trump.
00:03:16.000And if you do nothing but read the New York Times and listen to the NPR podcasts, and if you do nothing but look at Trump from the outside, the stereotype about Donald Trump is that he is erratic.
00:03:33.000There's no discipline, that he is a tyrant.
00:03:36.000He's kind of like a Kim Jong-un unhinged character.
00:04:05.000But I never bought into this narrative that they would build on Morning Joe and that they would build on the New York Times that Donald Trump was this unhinged character that never thought things out, that he would be one step away with the nuclear button and get us into something regrettable.
00:04:24.000Now, this is important, everybody, because they thought, the bad guys thought they had him mapped.
00:04:30.000This is, of course, if you never spent time around him.
00:04:34.000They thought that if they could indict him, they could force him into a non-stop, impulsive, not instinctive, impulsive 2023 and 2024 presidential race.
00:04:50.000They thought that they could overwhelm him with lawfare, overwhelm him with legal baggage, and they thought that they could make him the unhinged candidate.
00:05:03.000If you watched the Fox News Town Hall yesterday and you woke up from a coma and you omit all the legal questions, granted, you take all the legal questions out and it is Donald Trump just taking questions there.
00:05:20.000He did not look or sound like a man facing 700 years in federal prison.
00:07:06.000And he's only going to gain in popularity.
00:07:09.000They thought they could force a behavioral pattern.
00:07:13.000They thought they could force him into what we have called on this program, the wounded animal in a corner syndrome, where you're just barking at everything.
00:07:24.000If you've ever seen kind of a dog that's put in a corner and you got nothing to lose, everything, you're a hammer looking for a nail.
00:08:28.000And instead, the wall ended up being a staircase.
00:08:33.000If you're a Democrat operative and you watch that town hall, you are the angry one.
00:08:39.000And he is the calm, cool, and collected one.
00:08:41.000And that's not to say that he doesn't have his moments of anger, probably flying back on Trump Force One when he's got nine missed calls from his lawyers about motions to dismiss and all that.
00:08:50.000But if you are a Democrat operative, if you're a purple-haired jihadi, if you are a social justice warrior, if you are a Biden elite kleptocrat and you watched that town hall of Donald Trump just days out from the Iowa caucus, it's demoralizing for you because you look at him and you say, we have thrown everything currently.
00:10:06.000And I mean that in the most positive way, where you could throw all the stuff at him and he looks like he's having more fun than before that.
00:10:11.000Not normal, not something that you can just create.
00:10:33.000We're going to play these pieces of tape.
00:10:35.000And if you are a Democrat operative and you're watching this and you're just begging, you're hoping that Trump is just going to all of a sudden step up and say, Let me give you my Mussolini speech.
00:10:46.000Instead, he's talking about we're going to have so much success, we don't have time for retribution.
00:10:49.000Ooh, that is an asymmetrical attack against MSNBC.
00:13:32.000And the way they even asked the opposition questions, I thought were very fair.
00:13:35.000Again, one or two of them I thought was a little bit too much, but they said, look, this is going to be Joe Biden's vector of attack against you.
00:15:38.000It is about tradition, standards, and practice.
00:15:42.000The mainstream narrative that honestly some Republicans parrot sometimes, some suburban type voters, they believe this because it sounds right, but it's not right, is they say that, and Nimerata Haley, she repeats this all the time.
00:15:57.000She says, oh, you know, chaos follows Trump and the reason not to vote for Trump is no chaos.
00:17:24.000Look, if you are Gen Z or millennial, you have a little bit of money put aside, it might be the best opportunity to go to andrewantodd.com and buy a home.
00:17:33.000Once you're in the buyer's game, you must never leave the buyer game.
00:17:36.000And again, I encourage you guys to check it out right now.
00:17:39.000Interest rates, they're signaling that they're going to go down, but don't wait.
00:17:43.000The price of real estate very well might continue to go up.
00:17:46.000Go to AndrewandTodd.com, andrewandtodd.com.
00:17:52.000I want to riff for a second here on Iowa, and then I want to just go to this ridiculous CNN back and forth.
00:17:59.000First of all, the aesthetics of the CNN thing was just so cringe.
00:18:03.000I watched it for maybe five minutes, and they're arguing about stuff that Nimerata did or didn't do when she was governor nearly a decade ago.
00:18:10.000It was such an unbelievable waste of time.
00:18:12.000Like this primary, it's an unbelievable waste of time.
00:18:16.000And I don't think we should forgive easily the fact that we have deployed hundreds of millions of dollars to get the same outcome that we otherwise would have gone, would have received.
00:18:25.000I don't think we should just turn the page and say, oh, you know, this was just fine.
00:18:28.000I think we should be pretty harsh about it.
00:19:16.000To use a sports analogy of which we use quite frequently, the draft king's odds of Donald Trump's victory is they have him as like a 28-point favorite.
00:19:26.000So if he wins by 15 points, they're going to say, well, you know, Nimerata and DeSantis, they beat the line by 13 points.
00:19:35.000And so I really think the spread, if you will, is way too much.
00:19:43.000So the media is they, if it's less than 10 points, if Donald Trump ends up winning by less than 10 points, they're going to frame it as a catastrophic failure.
00:19:55.000And then that leads us to New Hampshire.
00:19:57.000And New Hampshire is even more of a tricky type environment because they allow Democrats to vote in the Republican primary New Hampshire.
00:20:07.000A little bit more of a moderate disposition.
00:20:09.000A lot of Bostonites have migrated to New Hampshire.
00:20:25.000And they're going to try to artificially and synthetically make it seem that it's going to be Nimerata versus Trump.
00:20:33.000And then what comes after New Hampshire?
00:20:36.000South Carolina, where Nikki Haley was previously governor.
00:20:42.000So a lot of this, again, once this thing rolls on and we start getting to Nebraska and Montana and California and Texas, Trump is going to run the table.
00:20:51.000The question, though, is, and I'm not worried about Trump being in jeopardy to get the actual nomination.
00:20:57.000My concern is, is Trump going to have to spend an extra 20, 30, 50, 60 million dollars unnecessarily jousting it out with Nimerada with precious resources, precious energy coming into the next few weeks, all about a shouting match about Nikki Haley and Donald Trump.
00:21:18.000It should be about conserving resources.
00:21:20.000At this point, it's very, very clear that Donald Trump is going to be the nominee.
00:22:30.000You want to come across as the frontrunner, but you also want to create a sense of urgency amongst your rank and file to try to win by as many points as possible and maximize turnout.
00:22:39.000However, that's not the case in a caucus system typically when it's 10 below zero.
00:22:45.000And in a caucus system, you can't show up at 10 a.m.
00:23:16.000Politics, honestly, is pretty awesome.
00:23:18.000The way they do it, I'm not even criticizing it, but I'm saying it's a heavy emphasis on energy, heavy emphasis on turnout, heavy emphasis on commitment.
00:23:27.000And if people think that Trump is going to win by 30, then they might just stay at home.
00:23:31.000We want to do everything we possibly can to prevent a long drawn out primary.
00:23:39.000We want to do everything we possibly can to try to make this a race in South Carolina unnecessarily.
00:23:47.000Okay, so I want to play some pieces of tape here.
00:23:50.000Back the aesthetics were so terrible of Nikki Haley and DeSantis.
00:23:55.000But first, I don't know if you know this, but the Republican Party primary really thinned out yesterday because Chris Christie dropped out.
00:24:45.000He's petrified that he's just going to get obliterated, effectively.
00:24:48.000So Chris Christie drops out, and Chris Christie continues play cut 93.
00:24:53.000I've always said that if there came a point in time in this race where I couldn't see a path to accomplishing that goal, that I would get out.
00:25:05.000And it's clear to me tonight that there isn't a path for me to win the nomination, which is why I'm suspending my campaign tonight for president of the United States.
00:25:19.000I want to promise you this: I am going to make sure that in no way do I enable Donald Trump to ever be president of the United States again.
00:25:31.000And that's more important than my own personal ambition.
00:25:37.000I want you to understand how sick this man is.
00:25:39.000Instead, he should be saying, I'm going to do everything I possibly can to make sure Joe Biden, the Democrats, won't become president again.
00:25:44.000Chris Christie is more concerned about Trump not becoming president than a Democrat going to the White House.
00:26:45.000Imagine if that money was actually spent on critical infrastructure, securing our elections, helping out with ballot chasing, building the machine that we need to win.
00:26:59.000If Donald Trump is not successful in November, we should hold Ron DeSantis and Nimerata Haley partially accountable.
00:27:11.000He has spent hundreds of millions of dollars.
00:27:14.000And imagine if Ron DeSantis instead could have come out and realized that the grass is not always greener, that you don't always have to be perpetually and completely ambitious towards everything.
00:27:28.000In fact, he made a terrible and complete mistake.
00:27:31.000He could have deployed that money and built up his name ID.
00:28:24.000In fact, Ron DeSantis was too good to come to a turning point event.
00:28:27.000We warned him, and how's it working out for him?
00:28:30.000Ron DeSantis has burned hundreds of millions of dollars.
00:28:33.000And we've said this repeatedly, and other people come out and they do all this.
00:28:36.000If Donald Trump is not successful in November, it'll be partially responsible because we are now six to nine months behind and hundreds of millions of dollars behind for what purpose?
00:28:46.000The ego and the vanity of Nimerata Haley, Chris Christie, and Ron DeSantis.
00:29:01.000Okay, Kirk fans, I need you to stop and pay attention to this.
00:29:05.000If you deal with exhaustion, brain fog, mood swings, or food cravings, if you're constantly getting sick or simply lack the zeal you used to have in life, then I have some news for you.
00:29:14.000While back, I found a liquid supplement called Strong Cell, and it changed my health in a very profound way.
00:29:40.000After taking Strong Cell for six weeks, I found improvement in many areas: less shoulder pain, improved mental clarity, increased natural energy, and so much more.
00:29:47.000I'm thankful that Charlie Kirk recommended this to his listeners.
00:29:50.000Rebecca says, I absolutely love Strong Cell.
00:29:53.000At first, I didn't think it would make much of a difference for my chronic fatigue, depression, and anxiety, but I thought I'd give it a chance.
00:29:58.000I've tried to find depression meds for 10 years, and since you Strong Cell, I'm feeling better than I ever have on depression medication.
00:30:06.000Customer for life, thank you, Charlie Kirk, for recommending this product.
00:31:58.000And as soon, and again, as being a huge Oregon Ducks fan, I say, oh my goodness, they're going to try to poach the Oregon Ducks coach, who just happens to be amazing.
00:32:26.000It is so hard to find sometimes somebody that checks the temptation that the grass is always greener.
00:32:35.000And to be perfectly honest, it takes a serious amount of integrity and discipline to say, I'm going to turn down being the frontrunner for what is considered to be the throne of college football.
00:32:49.000This is the king, the goat, Nick Sabin.
00:32:53.000And by all public reports, Dan Lanning could have had the job if he wanted it.
00:32:57.000The Alabama blogs were all leaking stuff and they said they'll pay us $20 million buyout and all of that.
00:33:03.000And the humility and the commitment, because this is how it works in college football, the same thing in politics.
