You're not going to free shot all these networks lying about the people. | ||

The people have had a belly full of it. | |
I know you don't like hearing that. | ||
I know you've tried to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. | ||
It's going to happen. | ||
And where do people like that go to share the big lie? | ||

War Room, here's your host, Stephen K. Baskin. | |
Welcome to War Room. | ||
I'm John Fredericks filling in for Steve Bannon tonight, 5 to 6. | ||
Great to have you with us. | ||
We are live at one of the key precincts for President Trump. | ||
This is at Norwalk High School. | ||
Doors are going to be open at about 6 p.m. | ||
at that central time. | ||
Well, I guess 6 p.m. | ||
Eastern, about 5 p.m. | ||
Central. | ||
I'm sorry, here at the high school. | ||
And very cold here. | ||
Right now, minus 17 degrees, about 35 minus with the wind chill factor. | ||
This is going to be the coldest night ever for Iowa caucuses, and it has been the coldest spell in 80 years across Iowa. | ||
So we don't know exactly what impact that is going to have, but that is the weather. | ||
That's what it is. | ||
So everybody come out, stay warm. | ||
A lot of people thinking, ah, the Trump voters, the Trump caucus goers, they're complacent, they're new, they're not going to deal with this, they're going to stay home. | ||
Look, I've been out here for eight days. | ||
I think the opposite. | ||
I think Trump's going to have a massive turnout tonight because his voters are committed. | ||
We had a great show for you lined up tonight. | ||
We're broadcasting live on our MAGA bus tour. | ||
Go to magabusstour.com for all our stops to follow us. | ||
We'll be in New Hampshire starting On Wednesday after tonight. | ||
We have a live show tonight. | ||
Part of that is with RAV. | ||
Live election night coverage from one of our precincts here. | ||
This again at Norwalk High School. | ||
Caroline Leavitt coming up momentarily, but let me just set the stage here. | ||
Right, the expectation game is very high. | ||
And what the national fake news state-run media, they've already written their narrative. | ||
Regardless of what the outcome is tonight, Trump can get 50%, Trump can get 45%, Trump can get 58%. | ||
Doesn't matter what it is. | ||
The narrative is written. | ||
They're going to say that he underperformed. | ||
Right? | ||
Because this is what they do. | ||
They lie and they spin. | ||
But I don't think they're going to be able to lie to the American people anymore because this is going to be a massive victory for President Trump. | ||
Remember, in any competitive Iowa Republican caucus, the biggest margin in history Was 12.1%, and that was Bob Dole in 1988, and he basically is from Kansas, so he was like Mr. Iowa. | ||
That's been the biggest margin ever. | ||
Anything exceeds that, it's gonna be a win for Trump. | ||
He's gonna start amassing the delegates, giving them momentum, going into New Hampshire. | ||
Now, new poll out by Des Moines Register just the other day. | ||
This is kind of the golden ticket of all polls. | ||
They've been very accurate throughout the years. | ||
They show President Trump at 48 percent, Nikki Haley in second place with 20 percent, DeSantis 16, Ramaswamy 8. | ||
But here's the stunning numbers in this poll. | ||
We've been talking about this all day. | ||
Of the 20 percent of people that are coming out for Haley, get this. | ||
61% are either not very enthusiastic or not enthusiastic at all. | ||
61% don't even want to vote for the candidate that they say they're going to vote for. | ||
Not votes that doesn't vote well for her. | ||
Get this other shocker. | ||
In her numbers. | ||
Get this. | ||
44%, that's almost half, Almost half of Haley caucus goers said in a one-on-one contest between President Trump and President Biden, They would vote for Joe Biden. | ||
So almost half of her caucus-goers are not even Republicans. | ||
She's cobbled together the donors, the never-Trumpers, the Democrats, whatever. | ||
Half of her voting base coming out tonight, ostensibly, wouldn't vote for Trump. | ||
For President, they'd vote for Biden. | ||
I don't think you'd have to know anything else about Nikki Haley. | ||
Joining me now, Caroline Leavitt. | ||
Now, she ran for Congress in New Hampshire. | ||
We're going to be there next week. | ||
She's going to be with us live on Wednesday at an event there. | ||
You can find it at megabusstar.com. | ||
Now, she has a brand new title with the Trump campaign. | ||
As of today, she has been named Trump 2024 National Press Secretary. | ||
Her first interview of that title. | ||
Caroline, congratulations on a well-earned, well-deserved promotion. | ||
unidentified
|
Hey, thanks, John. | |
I really appreciate it. | ||
And I think you just hit the nail on the head in your monologue there, talking about what the state of the race is in Iowa. | ||
You mentioned Nikki Haley, 50% of her supporters would vote for Joe Biden over Donald Trump in a general election. | ||
If you want Joe Biden in a dress, then vote for Nikki Haley. | ||
So it is so important that Iowa, the great people of Iowa, get out and caucus tonight Brave the storm, because a couple hours in cold weather is certainly much better than suffering four more years under Joe Biden's disastrous regime. | ||
Caroline Levin, let's talk a little bit about the expectation game, because the expectation is obviously very high for President Trump to win. | ||
Chris LaCivita, one of his chief strategists, sent a tweet out earlier and said, look, the biggest victory ever was Bob Dole Well, one, anything over that, obviously we're going to have the biggest victory ever, trying to downplay some of these expectations. | ||
But do you agree with me that the fake news state-run media has already got this narrative written? | ||
It doesn't really matter what the results are. | ||
They're going to say Trump underperformed. | ||
unidentified
|
Yes, I do. | |
Because the fake news media wants this to be a horse race so badly. | ||
They want the clicks. | ||
They want the views. | ||
They want to keep talking about this race. | ||
As if President Trump has not been dominant since the very beginning. | ||
I mean, he's been pulling ahead of Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis by a significant margin in Iowa since the start of this race. | ||
Same thing in New Hampshire. | ||
Same goes for South Carolina. | ||
And you look at the enthusiasm on the ground right now in Iowa. | ||
I mean, John, you're there, right? | ||
I mean, yesterday, President Trump's rally, the overflow crowd, actually had more people attend than both Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis' actual events. | ||
And so I think the enthusiasm is there. | ||
The new Des Moines Register poll that you also mentioned shows that there are no more enthusiastic supporters than those that are planning to go out and caucus for President Trump. | ||
And so I think it's going to be a great night for President Trump, for sure. | ||
But the media, they're always going to find fault in something, and we should expect that. | ||
They've been doing that for eight years, no matter how good he does. | ||
He built 500 miles of border wall, and they still had something to say about it. | ||
He brought historic peace to the Middle East, and they didn't give him credit for that. | ||
They won't give him credit. | ||
We should expect it. | ||
But as Chris pointed out, a 12-point victory, that is the record in Iowa. | ||
You know, Carolyn, what's interesting, when I first got here, we've been here for eight days. | ||
We got here Sunday night with our bus. | ||
So obviously, eight days, you talk to a lot of different people in a lot of different parts of the state, even over the fall because of the snow. | ||
And the first couple of days, I got to tell you, I didn't sleep well at night. | ||
I was very concerned about the weather, the turnout this would have. | ||
A lot of Trump voters are brand new to the process. | ||
You know, they're not part of the typical establishment, people that go to these meetings. | ||
They're brand new voters, so I was very concerned about not their level of enthusiasm for the candidate, President Trump, but their just commitment to come out. | ||
Couple that with good poll numbers, and I'm thinking a lot of people are going to be complacent. | ||
They're going to say, I'll just stay home, and it's too cold, and Trump's going to win anyway, and why bother? | ||
And I don't really understand the process. | ||
But what I found over the last three or four days in the blizzard is the exact opposite. | ||
The number of people that I've talked to who have committed to Trump in a caucus, and I said, hey, will the weather have any impact on you going or not? | ||
A hundred percent. | ||
I talked to probably 75 people. | ||
A hundred percent said it's going to make me go more. | ||
I was kind of shocked. | ||
It's not only enthusiasm. | ||
I think a lot of people, when you get under what they said, they're concerned about their country. | ||
They know we're hanging by a thread. | ||
And they're like, hey, I got to do something or I'm not going to have a country. | ||
And I think that's going to drive some of the Trump voters out tonight, Caroline. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, most definitely. | |
The great people in the America First movement, those that support President Trump, understand that we are in a perilous and dangerous time under Joe Biden's leadership. | ||
His weakness is quite literally leading us into a World War III. | ||
The border invasion is sending millions of illegal people into American communities and cities, and the great people of Iowa are paying for that. | ||
While Joe Bidenomics has made the economy increasingly unaffordable, For every day, hard-working American families across this nation. | ||
And so, people in Iowa and in every state, recognize the time that we are in. | ||
This is not the time to get complacent. | ||
This is the time to fight like hell for our country, just as President Trump is doing for us. | ||
He is the leader that we need to restore American greatness, both here at home and also on the world stage. | ||
If you are in Iowa, it is so crucial that you make your voice heard to the Republican establishment that is putting millions of dollars behind Nikki Haley's candidacy, and also to the Democrats in the far-left media who want nothing more than a bad night for Donald Trump. | ||
Don't let that happen. | ||
Make your voice heard. | ||
Get out in caucus. | ||
Let's turn the page away from this primary so we can take the real fight to Joe Biden, who is destroying our country every single day. | ||
Now, Caroline, in your new role... | ||
As Trump 2024 campaign national press secretary right now, you know what you're in for. | ||
You know, you're going to do these, these media hits on all the state run fake news media, and they're going to try to undercut you. | ||
They're going to try to trap you. | ||
They're going to try to find a way to discredit what you're saying. | ||
Are you prepared for that onslaught in this job? | ||
Cause that's what's going to, that's what is going. | ||
Look, I spent, I spent 36 months, uh, Are you prepared for that? | ||
unidentified
|
Bring it on, John. | |
Bring it on. | ||
We are on the right side of history. | ||
We have truth on our side, and we have a record of achievement on our side, thanks to President Trump's great policies. | ||
So I am prepared and ready and excited to fight alongside with him, play a very small role in his victory tonight, and in his victory in November, most importantly, when we evict Joe Biden from the White House. | ||
Well, Caroline, I think the Trump campaign made a spectacular choice in having you as their national press secretary going forward. | ||
I look forward to your stellar work. | ||
I know you a long time, and I'm very excited about your new role. | ||
People want to follow you, Caroline, on social media. | ||
Where do they go? | ||
unidentified
|

So we're live at Norwalk High School, but, you know, I know a lot of friends of mine have been really, really hurt by identity theft. You know, I just had to cancel my card the other day. Somebody tried to put a thousand dollars on it at a gambling casino. I don't know how they got my number, right? | ||
But this stuff happens. And, you know, he didn't see it coming. A lot of us don't see this coming. | ||
A friend of Steve's name is Kenny. | ||
He had a house-stealing horror story. | ||
Ken was shocked, and I mean shocked, when a realtor made an offer on the property his family was selling. | ||
The problem was the property was not for sale. | ||
Scammers, get this, had forged their signatures on a transfer deed, putting their property up for sale right out from under the homeowner. | ||

Coming up next, Carrie Lake came all the way from a Senate race in Arizona because she knows how high the stakes are. | ||
Carrie Lake is going to be with us next. | ||
We're also going to be waiting on Don Jr. | ||
He might be making an appearance. | ||
This is John Fredericks filling in for Steve Bannon right now. | ||
now you're in the war room live in norwalk high school honor mega mega bus I'm John Fredericks filling in for Steve Bannon on War Room. | ||
Steve will be back tomorrow. | ||
Hey, don't forget, this is caucus night. | ||
Hey, it's game day. | ||
Lay some up and lay some tight. | ||
We've all been waiting for this first caucus here in Iowa. | ||
We've been waiting a very long time. | ||
This is it. | ||
There's no turning back now. | ||
We need a big victory for the Trump campaign tonight so we can go to New Hampshire, win that big, eviscerate Nikki Haley in South Carolina, go to Super Tuesday, and wrap this nomination up. | ||
That's the plan. | ||
Now what's happening with the other candidates? | ||
President Trump, I got to tell you this, he has ran through the tape. | ||
He's going to be at a caucus tonight at 7 p.m. | ||
We're going to be at one. | ||
He's got speakers and surrogates going to different caucuses all over the state. | ||
They're all fanned out. | ||
He had over 30 House members fly in yesterday. | ||
They're making phone calls in their headquarters to caucus goers. | ||
They have left no stone unturned. | ||
They have left no stone. | ||
Let me get this right here. | ||
So even with the big lead in the polls, the Trump campaign has left nothing for granted. | ||
Now, their biggest enemy right now is complacency. | ||
But they have worked through the end, making phone calls. | ||
They've got 30 surrogates coming. | ||
They're all getting fanned out now. | ||
Carol Lake, one of them, we're trying to get a hold of her. | ||
I can't reach her right now. | ||
She might be in a dead zone. | ||
But this is how hard they've worked. | ||
Let's go to these other campaigns. | ||
Let's go to Vivek Ramaswamy, okay? | ||
I don't know what the deal with this guy is. | ||
He's at 8%. | ||
I don't even think he's going to get there. | ||
The guy's a complete and utter fake. | ||
Then you've got Ron DeSantis, right? | ||
Who has spent, I don't know, $200 million here in Iowa between his Always Back Down PAC and his five buses and everything else. | ||
Spent all this money. | ||
It's a complete and utter catastrophe and Ken Cuccinelli, his chairman of this PAC, Ken the cockroach backstabber, remember this is the guy that begged Trump for a job, begged him for a job, Trump gives him a job. | ||
We all told him. | ||
He's a backstabbing, vicious never-Trumper who'll screw you in the end, and that's what he did. | ||
He's out here. | ||
They spent $200 million, they're going to finish third and try to spin it as an underdog. | ||
They're done. | ||
Joining me now, Carrie Lake ran for governor, of course, of Arizona. | ||
Got that stolen from her. | ||
Now she's a candidate for U.S. | ||
Senate in Arizona and one of the key Trump surrogates out here, making phone calls and going out to a precinct in minus 17 degree weather. | ||
Carrie, this is a little bit different weather than you're getting in Phoenix, isn't it? | ||
unidentified
|
Well, you have to remember, John, I am an Iowan native. | |
I grew up here, and so I am chuckling right along with my fellow Iowans as we laugh at the media, you know, clutching their pearls over the cold weather. | ||
You know, when you grow up in Iowa, this is not abnormal. | ||
July is hot and humid. | ||
But January is bitterly cold and they're used to it. | ||
I will tell you what, I don't think there will be one Trump supporting caucus goer who will fail to show up because it's too cold. | ||
I'll just put 10 bucks on that. | ||
I don't think there will be one caucus goer planning to show up for Trump who will stay home because it's too cold. | ||
These people know how important this caucus is, the most important caucus in caucus history. | ||
They recognize that the entirety of this nation is watching Iowa, saying, please do the right thing. | ||
Get out there. | ||
Give President Trump a resounding victory. | ||
Give him a victory tonight so that we can get this country set on the right path. | ||
And it all starts right here, where history will be made tonight in Iowa. | ||
Now, Carrie, I know you came in the other day. | ||
You've been making phone calls for President Trump to caucus goers to try to get him out. | ||
On the phone, with the calls you've made, what has been the reaction? | ||
What have you experienced, Carrie? | ||
unidentified
|
Well, we've talked to people who are caucus captains, people who are thinking of caucusing. | |
Every single person said, oh yeah, I'm ready to go. | ||
I've got everything I need. | ||
We answered a couple questions if people had a few questions here and there. | ||
And we really did the phone calls primarily that first day we got here because the blizzard was still spitting down snow all over the place. | ||
And since then, we've been out traversing this state. | ||
We've put, I don't know, way too many miles on the car in just a short period of time. | ||
We've gone two hours this direction, three hours that direction. | ||
Waterloo, Fort Dodge, every little town in between, and we're actually talking face-to-face with people. | ||
And I have to tell you, John, I've had more than a few strong men who've gotten a lump in their throat thinking about what's at stake here. | ||
They recognize that this very republic that we're so blessed to have grown up in is truly on the cusp of either rising or falling. | ||
And they know that there's the pressure on them to get out and do the right thing. | ||
And they say, listen, the least we can do is give a couple hours of our time. | ||
Many of them have trained for caucusing. | ||
They're going to be observers. | ||
They're going to make sure that things are run smoothly. | ||
But all I will say is the reaction I've gotten with everywhere I've gone is that people are supporting President Trump. | ||
They are going to show up come hell or high water. | ||
It could be raining cats and dogs or maybe raining cows and hogs, because we're in Iowa, and they will not stop. | ||
They're going to show up. | ||
They're going to caucus for President Trump. | ||
And we're going to get a victory tonight. | ||
The question is, how big will that victory be? | ||
If he gets anywhere over 12 percent or 12 points of a victory, he will make history. | ||
That will be the biggest recorded victory in a crowded caucus field. | ||
So I'm confident President Trump's going to do well tonight. | ||
And I think he's going to do very well. | ||
Carrie, tell us about where you're actually headed tonight and where you'll be speaking on the President's behalf. | ||
unidentified
|
Well, we just came from a great event in Fort Dodge where I think there were, I don't know, 15 or so members of Congress and people who come in from all over, from Tennessee and Florida and Georgia and all of the great folks who are fighting for the America First movement. | |
Descended on the amazing town of Fort Dodge and we all spoke to a very crowded room of people and it was wonderful and then we came back down here. | ||
We're now back at the hotel where many of the people are staying here and then we're heading out here in the next half an hour or so to Pella, Iowa. | ||
If you've heard of Pella Windows, that's where they originated in Pella, Iowa. | ||
Some of the greatest, most quality human beings on the planet live in Pella. | ||
It is the largest, from what I'm told, caucus site. | ||
in the state and President Trump has sent me there to rally the troops and get them all ready to caucus tonight. | ||
So I'm gonna be kind of at that big site in Pella, which is not too far from Des Moines. | ||
And then after that, we're gonna head back up to Des Moines where we're going to be having a gathering of supporters for President Trump and we'll wait for the results to come in. | ||
That's gonna be a lot of fun and you've certainly been a trooper in coming out here and trying to help the Trump campaign. | ||
I'm sure you're gonna rally the troops tonight. | ||
Now, I kind of, you know, some of us kind of forget you're from Iowa, then I'm happy you mentioned that when you came on because I actually forgot about that. | ||
Tell us the part of Iowa where you actually grew up and what that is in geography for our national audience as far as Des Moines is concerned. | ||
unidentified
|
Well, Iowa, if you travel from one side to the other, from the Mississippi to the Missouri River, Iowa, you know, on the western edge of Iowa, it's the Missouri River, and on the eastern edge of Iowa is the great Mississippi River. | |
And I grew up on the banks of the Mississippi River in Scott County, Iowa, in eastern Iowa, and really blessed to have grown up in Iowa. | ||
The people are quality. | ||
You know, when I think of Iowa, I think of honesty, I think of friendliness, I think of work ethic that is through the roof. | ||
And I think when people get to know an Iowan, you would probably all agree that that's kind of the qualities of Iowa. | ||
So I'm here in the middle of Iowa, which is about three hours from where I grew up in Scott County in Des Moines and Polk County. | ||
And we are, as I said, traversing this state. | ||
It's cold and blustery. | ||
It's, I think, what is it, 14 degrees below zero right now, maybe even colder? | ||
18 degrees? | ||
My husband's telling me, whispering the temperature. | ||
It's chilly, I'll put it that way, but it's just a great place to grow up. | ||
It's a quality place to grow up, and the people here care greatly about the truth. | ||
You know, somebody once said, well, why Iowa? | ||
Why would they start off this whole caucus, the first in the nation? | ||
Which, by the way, thanks to President Trump, they are still the first in the nation. | ||
He is the one that made that possible, because a lot of people wanted to change it, and he said, no, Iowa will be first in the nation. | ||
And I think it's the perfect state to be first in the nation. | ||
It's right there in the heartland. | ||
We're the nation's heart. | ||
We're the breadbasket of America. | ||
We feed the country. | ||
We feed the world here in Iowa. | ||
But more importantly than that, the people are willing to put in the work. | ||
They do their due diligence. | ||
They're willing to sit down and for a year have all these politicians, all these political operatives descend on this state, and they're willing to hear them out. | ||
And they also have a great relationship with President Trump because as president, he did so much for this state. | ||
He created 22,000 new jobs for Iowa, about 10,000, a little more than 10,000 of them in the manufacturing sector. | ||
Conversely, Joe Biden lost 2000 jobs in Iowa. | ||
He stood up to China. | ||
We'd never seen a president stand up to China and for Iowa that mattered. | ||
When China took it out on the farmers of this country, President Trump saw to it that they got $28 billion in relief. | ||
So that they could sweat out China and finally take on the CCP. | ||
And he did it. | ||
No other president had the cojones to do that. | ||
He also, as I said, kept the first in the nation caucus here. | ||
He fought for E15 ethanol. | ||
And now we use ethanol around this country year round. | ||
It's available and he's fighting to make sure it gets to more gas pumps around the country. | ||
It was part of our energy independence that President Trump was so proud of and that we benefited from with a great economy. | ||
So he's done a lot for Iowa, and he's a friend to Iowa, and they remember that. | ||
Iowans are friendly, but they also remember, they also are loyal, and they remember when someone has been a friend to them. | ||
So they're willing to listen to everybody and make a decision, and the decision they're going to make, loud and clear tonight, is that President Trump is the man for the job. | ||
He's done it once, he did it well, he doesn't need to prove himself again, because he proved himself every single day on the job, and he's always fought for America. | ||
Well, we look forward to a big night tonight, Carole Lake. | ||
I want to thank you. | ||
Just so everybody knows, Carole Lake is also running for U.S. | ||
Senate in Arizona. | ||

100% officially, permanently retire Biden and Harris. | |
Doesn't that sound good? | ||
Kind of like when we gave Nancy Pelosi a pink slip, too, right? | ||
Bye, Felicia. | ||
We don't need any more of that. | ||
We need a true, strong commander-in-chief in the Oval Office, someone who respects the hard-working men and women of this country, someone who respects law enforcement, the military, the veterans, someone who is going to be a leader and stop the nonsense at the border. | ||
What is happening in this country right now is almost unfathomable. | ||
And this is exactly who did it. | ||
It's Biden and Harris and their failed policies and Mayorkas. | ||
And it is an absolute shame because they have threatened the national security and the sovereignty of this country with their reckless policies that do not put America first. | ||
We need to have that strong national security. | ||
We need to secure the border. | ||
We need to get jobs going and get this country back on track. | ||
The good news is, in less than a year, we will be able to do it. | ||
And the more important news is, it starts right here, tonight, in Iowa. | ||
How about that? | ||
That's right. | ||
And a president that loves the flag, right? | ||
We stand for the flag. | ||
We kneel in church. | ||
This president knows what it means to make sure that families are able to decide for themselves how to educate their children. | ||
He is against the indoctrination that we see from the poisonous left. | ||
This is someone who will stand up for our children, will do the right thing, and make sure that they are protected, and make sure that it's their parents Not educators or teachers trying to tell them they have to change their gender, or what they need to do, or whether or not they need to wear certain clothes, or identify as a cat in a litter box. | ||
That's what's happening from the left! | ||
You're absolutely right. | ||
And this president was the absolute best, as you know, in the sanctity of life, giving us great Supreme Court justices. | ||
And he cannot wait to get back in and get to work for you. | ||
Thank you. | ||
Thank you. | ||
So we have to make sure that we get out there because we won't recognize this country if we don't win this election. | ||
And that's why it starts right here in Iowa tonight. | ||
And we need a commanding victory, a decisive victory, because the rest of these people need to go back to whatever their day jobs were and get out of Trump's way because he's ready to win and crush it, right? | ||
You know how he is. | ||
You know how he is. | ||
So it's fantastic, and I got a little special guest here. | ||
I don't know if you recognize this guy, but yeah, he's kind of shy. | ||
But nobody works harder for his father than he does. | ||
He's absolutely the MAGA tip of the spear and fearless out there. | ||
He makes all the liberal heads explode, okay? | ||
And it's very fun to watch, and he couldn't wait to come here. | ||
And we had a little layover, about three All right. | ||
I apologize. | ||
North Carolina, but we were determined to get here so that we could talk to you guys and to say thank you and God bless your families. | ||
And we appreciate your support for the president. Let's give Donald Trump Jr. | ||
A nice round of applause. Thank you, Kim. Thank you, guys. How's it going tonight? Everyone doing well. | ||
All right. I apologize. I know this was supposed to be like three hours ago, but, uh, let's just say this weather has made travel a little bit difficult. | ||
So it was a little different. | ||
We got delayed in Charlotte, the airplane there. | ||
But we've had a lot of friends on the airplane here who all seem to be ready to caucus for Donald Trump tonight. | ||
So what we gotta do, guys, and you see what they're doing, right? | ||
We gotta make sure all of our friends show up. | ||
And I know this is soon, so even if it looks like... | ||
You're not paying attention to me. | ||
Get on the phone right now and text your friends. | ||
Let them know. | ||
You can even whisper if you want to call them. | ||
Let them know because I see exactly what's happening right now. | ||
They're trying desperately to suppress the vote by saying you have it in the bag, right? | ||
But you've seen these games, right? | ||
Whether whatever it is happened over the last 48 hours or, you know, 2016. | ||
What was it? | ||
The email that Ben Carson dropped out of the race and he'd love you to endorse Ted Cruz. | ||
There's always, they're always doing something, right? | ||
There's always a scheme and that includes our side. | ||
Because at this point in time we understand it's actually the DC elite versus Trump. | ||
You see that from the Republicans involved. | ||
You see that from the billionaire donors disappearing from Ron DeSantis' campaign because they realize he doesn't have it. | ||
You know, it took about three seconds with him and a mic, you realize, like... Maybe it's not that... You know, but no, you can do a lot with thousands of paid influencers and stuff like that, and they clip a ten-second thing, and they made him look like this great hero. | ||
I go... | ||
Don't worry, guys. | ||
And they go, no, no, no, Don. | ||
Aren't you worried? | ||
For like the last year, you know? | ||
It started off about a year ago when he went on the longest book tour in the history of book tours. | ||
Right? | ||
It was like three months worth of book tours. | ||
I have two number one bestsellers. | ||
I know what a book tour is like. | ||
It's usually like seven days at most. | ||
This was the longest one ever. | ||
It led into a presidential race. | ||
Florida could be flooded or tornadoes or people could have no electricity. | ||
And he'd be an absentee governor. | ||
unidentified
|
Right? | |
And they talk about his commitment to what he says and, you know, he tells Tucker Carlson he's very against the war, almost like Trump, against the war in Ukraine and getting us into yet another never-ending conflict. | ||
And then he gets the call from a billionaire donor who says, Ron, dance monkey dance. | ||
They crank that thing and he changes his tune within three minutes. | ||
And you think that's going to be any different in D.C.? ? | ||
Gosh, it's going to get so much worse, right? | ||
There's difference between local politics and once you get to that level, it's not even close. | ||
And so we've seen that. | ||
And again, the guys, you know, you should be worried, Don. | ||
Again, give him the mic for more than a few minutes and you'll see those problems. | ||
It's why he has to have three or four surrogates with him at each and every one of the events, because he can't do it on his own. | ||
Listen, I don't know. | ||
I will leave it to a show of hands. | ||
Who here thinks it's acceptable for men to be wearing high heels while running for the Republican nomination for the President of the United States? | ||
Anyone? | ||
Not a fan of that, right? | ||
And by the way, no one cares if he's short. | ||
No one cares. | ||
No one cares if you're short. | ||
You know what you care? | ||
That you're so insecure about it that you have to overcompensate. | ||
That's the kind of crap that gets us into wars. | ||
It's that kind of insecurity that you get pushed into doing stuff that's probably not right for the will of the people. | ||
And that's what we see from so many of the rhinos in Washington, D.C. | ||
right now. | ||
Nikki Haley, she's never met a war she didn't want to be in. | ||
unidentified
|
We would be fighting like a 30-front war. | |
We would be fighting like a 30 front war, right? | ||
We've given $150 billion to Ukraine with zero accountability. | ||
We don't even know where the weapons are. | ||
Eventually, they'll be used against us, like all the weapons we give to, you know, ridiculous regimes that are out of control. | ||
Not a problem, right? | ||
Get another war there. | ||
You got the stuff going on down in Venezuela, between Guyana and Venezuela. | ||
You know, minor stuff going on in the Middle East with Israel. | ||
You know, it's never gonna end. | ||
And now, we have missiles striking U.S. | ||
unidentified
|
ships. | |
Because you know what bullies understand? | ||
Weakness. | ||
They prey on weakness. | ||
It's the nature of predation. | ||
It's a story as old as time and nature. | ||
When they see a bumbling moron as the leader of the free world, we've got to put that in quotes because, I mean, a guy that probably struggles to tie his shoes probably shouldn't be called a leader, but it doesn't matter. | ||
That's the nature of DC, right? | ||
The experts are still experts even if they don't get anything right in half a century. | ||
You know? | ||
Remember all the commentary about North Korea at the time? | ||
And, oh, Trump is doing it, he's doing it all wrong! | ||
Curious? | ||
Fine. | ||
I'll listen to you. | ||
Why? | ||
Well, because I was the leader of the delegation dealing with the issues in North Korea for the last 37 years. | ||
And we believe, well, did you ever meet with the guy? | ||
Well, no. | ||
I couldn't do that. | ||
Well, why is he wrong and you're right? | ||
You got nothing done in 37 years. | ||
Well, because we're experts. | ||
Oh, wonderful. | ||
You know, Anthony Fauci was an expert and everyone's an expert. | ||
No one actually delivers for America, right? | ||
They just fail, continue to fail. | ||
You know, Kamala Harris is an expert and she'll talk about, you know, use one word over and over 15 times in a sentence. | ||
The nature of love is love because love is love and without love there is no love, love. | ||
What's going on here? | ||
No, no, it's like a clown show, right? | ||
I mean, you know, what was it? | ||
Shane Gillis with the Roomba joke about, you know, Joe Biden. | ||
But, like, he is. | ||
I mean, think about it. | ||
Like, it's not that hard. | ||
Like, you walk... I walk down those stairs. | ||
Like, if I want to leave, maybe I'll go back up there. | ||
Maybe I'll say hi to some people. | ||
He could be here talking to you. | ||
There's, like, literally a crowd of four or five people. | ||
Massive crowd for Joe Biden. | ||
Four or five people. | ||
And he'll start talking. | ||
And then... | ||
Whatever they gave him to, you know, make him appear semi-lucent for like, you know, a couple seconds, like wears off and then he's like, you know, walking into the wall. | ||
I got called out on Facebook. | ||
I go, he has no idea where he is. | ||
He's trying to shake hands to a crowd that doesn't exist. | ||
I think it was Facebook. | ||
One of them fact-checked me. | ||
No, no, no. | ||
He was pointing to a crowd with an open hand. | ||
But the crowd was there and he's pointing that way. | ||
Like, it doesn't check out. | ||
Like everything else doesn't check out, right? | ||
Again, multiple front war, and our Secretary of Defense, I hope he feels better, but you can't just abandon your post while you're at the hospital and not tell the administration. | ||
And then you're hearing about secret coups, because they've understood that they can get away with this, and the military-industrial complex, who wants to keep us in the never-ending wars, doesn't believe in sort of civilian leadership, probably our constitution. | ||
You know, because they want to get on a board of Raytheon, so we gotta keep on the wars, right? | ||
If we don't sell missiles and then use them, how are we gonna get on the board of Raytheon? | ||
That's the retirement plan, and it never ends. | ||
As I said, $150 billion for Ukraine's border, exactly zero for our own. | ||
The Republicans now signing off a bill, oh, well, we'll give 5,000 people a day just permanent status and we'll give everyone that ever came in here work visas. | ||
You know what that does? | ||
To hardworking Americans, to people whose schools are failing their children miserably, whose infrastructure, like, let's call it sucks at best, Who's medical infrastructure is a disaster? | ||
Well, you'll have the privilege of paying not just for yourselves and your children and your grandchildren, but theirs. | ||
Because there's a reason they don't want to let, like, nuclear physicists into the country, right? | ||
They're letting people who will, in many cases, likely never ever contribute to the system. | ||
Because when your policies are failing your people, You gotta make sure you dilute those people with people who will vote for you in perpetuity because they are dependents. | ||
You don't get to put those dependents on your tax returns when you file them in April. | ||
unidentified
|
You just get to keep paying forever. | |
It doesn't work. | ||
But they don't care. | ||
Like so many things, they continue to fail and it doesn't matter and no one holds them accountable. | ||
We talk about, I mean, the stuff I see on a daily basis now, it's just, it's literally mind-blowing, right? | ||
The failed Afghan withdrawal. | ||
And, you know, our Secretary of State, because the adults are back in charge, right? | ||
The adults are so back in charge, they don't know where the Secretary of Defense is. | ||
They put in a lady who was on vacation in Puerto Rico to deal with the Fed. | ||
No, she didn't even bother to come home, because, like, why bother working? | ||
It's sort of like Pete Buttigieg, our Transportation Secretary, who knows nothing about transportation, couldn't be bothered to go to East Palestine. | ||
You know, our planes are falling out of the air and doors are falling off of them, you know, and we hire people at the FAA who have severe, what was it, mental and psychological issues. | ||
That's their, you know, diversity, equity, inclusion. | ||
Like, when I'm flying at 36,000 feet, I just want, like, a competent pilot, not the diversity hire. | ||
Not someone with severe psychological issues. | ||
I don't know. | ||
That's just me. | ||
Because I'm not an imbecile. | ||
But they act like we are. | ||
The Secretary of Defense, after the Afghan withdrawal, he was, and I quote, in front of Congress, shocked and dismayed that the Taliban, who we've been at war with for twenty years, so you know, you'd think we'd know a little something about them. | ||
These woke generals, they're not so good at winning wars, they're great at staying in them. | ||
Not so great at winning them. | ||
Still, we should probably have a decent understanding of our enemy after 20 years. | ||
And our Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, was, and I quote, shocked and dismayed that the Taliban did not install a more, and I quote, diverse and inclusive government in Afghanistan. | ||
See, but you're cringing, and you didn't even know that. | ||
Because our media won't tell us that, right? | ||
It's an obvious cringe. | ||
It's freaking ridiculous! | ||
They think they're going to put a trans coalition in the Taliban government to make sure that... | ||
No, but it's okay! | ||
Laugh with me! | ||
Because it is funny, and sometimes the humor delivers the message, but we also gotta remember, we can't just get lost in the humor. | ||
We have to understand that these are the people that are making trillion-dollar decisions for us. | ||
These are the people deciding. | ||
If our kids go to war, they have no business running a preschool. | ||
But they're running a multi-trillion-dollar economy. | ||
They're running the US military, and they're imbeciles. | ||
But we keep doing that because, guess what? | ||
They take care of themselves. | ||
The Democrats and the RINOs in Washington, D.C. | ||
are almost the same. | ||
You see what they're giving the Democrats, you know, on the border bills and everything else that's going on? | ||
Eh, we just keep racking up the debt. | ||
It doesn't really matter. | ||
Let's extend it forever, because they're getting rolled. | ||
Because, you know, it's an easy existence to be a rhino in Washington, D.C. | ||
If you roll over, if you give up, if you just die every time when it actually matters, hey man, they'll let you be conservative like 65, 70% of the time. | ||
You don't have to do that, it's just, well, that's a big one, you better fold. | ||
And if you do, they leave you alone. | ||
I understand there's a consequence to being a conservative. | ||
I understand there's a far greater consequence to being a vocal conservative, and much more so if you support Trump. | ||
I know this because unlike very esteemed presidential son Hunter Biden, I did 50 hours of testimony before Congress for Russia, Russia, Russia, which we all knew was always a lie if you weren't an idiot, right? | ||
But it didn't matter, didn't stop them from doing so. | ||
Hunter can make millions, have a billion dollar investment from the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
There's money going to the children, and to the grandchildren, and to the mistress, and to the ex-wife, and to the Girlfriend that was also the brother's wife and, you know, some pretty... Let's just say stuff that if it was Donald Trump Jr. | ||
would actually be a problem. | ||
That's just totally overlooked. | ||
And that's what's so critical about right now, guys. | ||
They want to put in whatever candidate they control. | ||
And that person is anyone other than Donald Trump. | ||
What we have the opportunity to do tonight is to end some of this nonsense fast. | ||
Okay? | ||
You see what's happening. | ||
Trump is winning the polls in Iowa by 9,476 points. | ||
Just stay home. | ||
That's what they want you to do. | ||
And then, if he wins, you know, that's obviously a statistical impossible margin to win. | ||
It's out of 100, but that doesn't matter. | ||
They'll say, well, if there was one poll that we did, we polled one person, so it's 100%. | ||
So if you win by 99, they say, he underperformed incredibly! | ||
There's blood in the water! | ||
The billionaires from New York and the Democrats that are literally Democrat donors funding Nikki Haley will write bigger checks. | ||
So that then they can drag it out longer in New Hampshire. | ||
And then try to drag it out longer in South Carolina. | ||
You already see the Democrat vote in New Hampshire. | ||
Like, they're all trying to switch things so that they can vote for Nikki Haley to drag it out. | ||
Because if you drag it out, you know what it's about? | ||
Draining resources. | ||
Joe Biden got all of their billionaires funding this stuff. | ||
You have all of big tech funding it. | ||
All of the mainstream media just being total propagandists at this point. | ||
I mean, That's what we're up against. | ||
It's not our ideas versus theirs and we're pretending we're playing the same game. | ||
We've been playing t-ball for 50 years while they're playing hardball, indoctrinating our children, pushing their trans ideology on three-year-olds. | ||
Think of how insane some of this stuff we see is today. | ||
I mean, you'd think that, like, I'm waiting for Ashton Kutcher to jump out of, like, a cake and be like, you're just, you're being punked. | ||
No, you know what I mean? | ||
I walk around and I'm like, there's got to be cameras in the ceiling. | ||
I'm in the Truman Show. | ||
I am a reality show that I don't even realize is a reality show because there's no way that some of this stuff that's happening in this country right now could actually be happening. | ||
And again, the reason both sides are so desperately going after Donald Trump is he's the only guy who can actually stop, and he's the only guy that's a threat to that. | ||
It's why they'll unify and fight. | ||
Chris Christie, you saw the call, right? | ||
The hot mic moment with Chris Christie. | ||
Well, Nikki Haley's not going anywhere, but that's fine. | ||
Ron DeSantis calls him to thank him for everything he's doing. | ||
So wait, a neocon, like, fat slob like Chris, like, where you're thanking him? | ||
Like, beat the hell out of him in the debates, and now he's thanking him. | ||
You know why? | ||
Because they're all in on it. | ||
Right? | ||
Chris Christie's hotleg moment caught him being like, and Ron was petrified of me as well, that he's worried I was gonna dorse against him. | ||
Because it's not about actually winning, it's just about stopping Trump. | ||
unidentified
|
Right? | |
That should be as evident as literally anything that's out there. | ||
But... | ||
If we set the right tone, if we set the right message, we can change so much of that right now. | ||
And it all starts in Iowa. | ||
So, you know, I just want to thank you guys for participating in this process. | ||
I know it's brutal, I feel bad that it's been, they bombard you with the nonsense, I mean, so much. | ||
And that's the other one, they'll say, Trump did this, just remember, Ron DeSantis has spent basically $200 million in a one-state campaign to try to What do you think the ratio adds relative to Trump? | ||
Just like ridiculous, right? | ||
Like when you're getting bombarded with the crap. | ||
So that's the other one they'll use. | ||
So with 200 million spent, essentially a one-state campaign, right? | ||
Since last year of this time, we spent 30. | ||
So a minor fraction of that, relatively speaking. | ||
Big deal, but... | ||
They're looking for any narrative to drag it out and continue it on. | ||
So, you know, when my father jokes, hey, show up at all costs. | ||
It's not just about Iowa. | ||
It's not about... It's about setting the tone for the rest of this thing so that we can end this ridiculous primary now. | ||
We can stop the money flowing to the political consultants, who, by the way, took about 86% of that $200 million of Ron DeSantis. | ||
Because guess what? | ||
Those guys? | ||
Just as bad as the rhinos. | ||
unidentified
|
Right? | |
Because they don't get paid if there's not an ongoing primary, right? | ||
Because we're not hiring them. | ||
So all the money stops. | ||
The grift is over. | ||
So they want to drag it out and they want to drag it on. | ||
Just understand, because it really at this point is, so much of what we're seeing is just a constant psy-op. | ||
It's a barrage of nonsense. | ||
And we can send a very loud, clear message tonight so that we can end that. | ||
So that we can actually focus on what matters. | ||
So that we can go after the ridiculous and the failed policies That make up the Biden administration, but also the Democrat Party. | ||
Let's not give... You know, I don't want to give him the... Like, it's not him. | ||
Like, no one actually believes that Joe Biden, who can't form a complete sentence, is coming up with this policy. | ||
But someone is. | ||
And he's dumb enough to sign off on everything. | ||
He's, by the way, doing all of the things Obama would have loved to have done, but Obama wasn't going to risk, you know, the million-dollar speeches, $20 million home on Martha's Vineyard, and stuff like that, for actually doing these things. | ||
You know who's the dumb, useful idiot who they'll throw under the bus, who will just sign whatever you put in front of him? | ||
Joe Biden. | ||
unidentified
|
Right? | |
It's like Ron Burgundy. | ||
If you put it on the teleprompter... Actually, it's worse than Ron Burgundy. | ||
If we're gonna be serious, it's actually worse than Ron Burgundy. | ||
Because at least Ron Burgundy could read the teleprompter. | ||
Joe Biden can screw that. | ||
I mean, we've seen it, right? | ||
It's not like once. | ||
It's not like... It's like literally every time. | ||
You know, that was, oh, Don, you're so terrible. | ||
No, but, like, please, like, show me a time he's gotten it right. | ||
You know, I remember during the Trump administration, you know, well, he's walking down a wet and slippery ramp in the rain and ice and snow, and he held onto a railing, and every telepsychologist is out there, he must be in the later stages of dementia and Alzheimer's combined. | ||
It's not looking good, 25th Amendment. | ||
We have a guy, like, literally. | ||
If you got onto an airplane and Joe Biden was the pilot, how quickly would you walk off? | ||
unidentified
|
Am I wrong? | |
Would you let him even drive you in a car? | ||
Not even for the story! | ||
Yeah, someone's driving him, but you wouldn't do it. | ||
But he's making every decision. | ||
Or signing off on whoever it is that's putting them in front of them for our future. | ||
Every one of them has been an abject failure. | ||
The economy is going to crap. | ||
You see it. | ||
Inflation is destroying your worth. | ||
Right? | ||
I get it. | ||
Hey, I'm not one of these guys pretending to be, like, I'm the son of a billionaire from New York, and if I'm pissed off when I take my kids to a restaurant, because I notice the change, because I notice how expensive it is, Like, what's that do to someone working hard to live their American dream? | ||
You know, what's left of it that hasn't been shipped off to China so that some billionaire that's funding Nikki Haley can save two cents on their widget? | ||
No, seriously. | ||
Like, I'm not supposed to notice that. | ||
It's probably not going to change my behavior patterns because I've been very blessed. | ||
I recognize that. | ||
But it's brutal. | ||
You know, I had to maintain something for my ex-wife. | ||
You know, apartment, stuff like that, wasn't paying attention. | ||
Interest rate reset on a, you know, seven-year arm or whatever it is. | ||
And I was like, oh my God, like, just the change in interest alone. | ||
Well, what happens when other people's mortgages reset? | ||
Again, if it's like, whoa, sticker shock. | ||
Not even a big mortgage, you know, but a really palpable change. | ||
You combine that With the rest of the inflation we see in the grocery stores. | ||
You combine that with gas pricing. | ||
You combine that with the built-in inflation in other things. | ||
Between, again, interest rates. | ||
If I get a new truck, hey, if I want it, I'm blessed. | ||
I could go buy it with cash. | ||
Well, if someone's financing that truck and now you're paying 7% on top of that. | ||
Plus, gas is 50% more expensive. | ||
This is tens of thousands of dollars a year. | ||
Just to be neutral. | ||
And there's no end in sight. | ||
Because the policies continue to destroy those things, because again, they don't care. | ||
And they're more worried about taking care of those who are not actually Americans, because they will more likely vote for them. | ||
When I see the stories, seriously, you see these things, well, they're throwing New York kids out of their high school to house illegal immigrants. | ||
You see them. | ||
They threw an 85-year-old Korean War veteran out of his house to make room for... I'm like, wait a minute. | ||
Maine. | ||
What was it? | ||
Multi-million dollar housing apartments. | ||
Now, the government will break someone. | ||
The guy that owns the real estate is probably making plenty of money. | ||
Why don't we take that money and maybe, I don't know, house some of our homeless? | ||
Some of our veterans that actually need it. | ||
I mean, isn't it weird that there's almost not even like a consideration of that? | ||
It's been a problem forever. | ||
We started making that progress with the VA and doing these things. | ||
The low-income earners in this country under the Trump administration were actually doing better. | ||
They actually saw a real wage growth, but that doesn't matter. | ||
I mean, every day, it's one big punk after another. | ||
So, you know, I just really want to say thank you for all of the garbage commercials that you guys have had to endure over the last year, so... | ||
I look forward to tomorrow when you can get back to enjoying your lives, but in the meantime, take the next few hours to reach out to all of your friends, to get them out here. | ||
Listen, if my soft butt from Florida right now, it was different. | ||
When I lived in New York, it was a little bit different. | ||
I could handle the cold. | ||
Maybe not this, but I was a lot harder, a lot tougher. | ||
If I can get up from Florida, even if I'm a little bit late, Everyone can get out. | ||
We can do this. | ||
We can send the message, the shot across the bow that you need to, to not just the Democrats, Joe Biden, to their failed policies, but also to the rhinos that are also trying to stop those policies. | ||
And more importantly, you know we'll never actually implement these things that they're going to promise you, right? |
