America's Mayor Live (E327): ELECTION 2024—New Hampshire Primary Results
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Good evening, this is Rudy Giuliani with America's Mayor live from New Hampshire.
Live from New Hampshire, where the results of the New Hampshire primary are beginning to come in.
They get reported in two sections.
And the first one is rather small, I think we're up to about 10% of the vote.
And it should be in a little while that we get a big, large, larger number of votes.
And at this point, Trump has About a 9 to 10 point lead.
It started at about 5, and it keeps growing with each addition of votes.
Trump is at 54.
Haley is at 45, really, if you round it off.
So it's a 9.3, 9.4% lead.
It would seem to me they're right at the breaking point.
It's a very interesting place to start.
Because this is, to me, the point of no return for Haley.
She's got to end up in, I think she's got to end up in fairly low single digits to remain in the race.
But she'll probably make the argument in any single digit, I would think.
However, if it goes above 9%, if it ends up at double digits or more, it's going to be really hard.
Particularly since the last poll in her own state, she's down by, she's down by, well, they already have called the state for Trump, according to Associated Press.
So Associated Press calls Trump the winner, and he has now a full 10% lead over Haley, which to me is the breaking point in terms of A very solid defeat of Nikki Haley, particularly looking at the next primary in Nevada where she is not contesting it, which means Trump wins it in the next one in her own state, where she is losing by a much bigger margin than the polls had her losing this one.
For Trump to equal the polls, he'd have to gain about another 5-6% on her.
But right now, he's got really a hair under a 10% lead.
54.06 to 44.97.
You round them off, that's 54 to 45.
And that's with 17% only of the votes cast, and confident enough, obviously, in the exit polls as to the next 70-something percent of the vote coming in, 80% of the votes coming in.
Uh, that they've already called it for Trump, which indicates that percentage they think is going to go up or certainly going to remain the same.
Um, the question is, uh, do we break any records tonight?
And mayor, as you can see here, they are now calling it the victory for Trump.
The AP has called it.
However, as you said, we should be watching closely, uh, the margin.
Now, the margin has grown at every new contribution of votes.
Each time a new group of votes come up, he goes up a percent.
That last one, he went up half a percent.
The one that led to his being declared the winner in the state.
The prediction by the Secretary of State here was that there'd be a record turnout The record turnout right now, I think is about 299, 299,000 votes.
That was in a democratic primary.
Uh, the biggest percentage turnout was in a primary.
I know very well in 2008, that was 54% turnout.
And that was in 2008.
Um, the secretary of state predicted that this would be a record turnout, which he predicted a pick a number 322,000.
Uh, he kind of, he kind of, he kind of backed off that a little.
Uh, that is Dr. Maria calling it.
Um, uh, he kind of backed off that a little when, um, when Vivek and, uh, and, uh, the Santas dropped out because a lot of his, a lot of his, uh, predictions were premised on, There are about 268,000 Republicans in the state, but there are 344,000 unaffiliated voters.
a nominee candidacy, which would have made a difference in terms of turnout.
So we'll have to see how far off he is of that. Now, some of the basics. There are about 268,000
Republicans in the state, but there are 344,000 unaffiliated voters. Trump, in the last CNN poll,
which is the weakest Trump poll, so this would be the bottom line percentage,
was predicted to get about 65 to 68 percent of the Republican vote.
So obviously for Haley to win, she has to virtually get all of the unaffiliated vote and bring in a large number of them, probably to equal, and then to be more than, The Republican vote.
That's never happened.
People have won this primary with very large independent votes, unaffiliated votes.
John McCain did in 2008, but he still won the Republican vote very narrowly.
So that kind of I think is what's going to happen tonight to the extent that she takes that number down down to down to 10% or less.
She's going to do it, not with Republican votes, but she's going to do it with what they call unaffiliated votes.
We would call it independent votes.
And we'll have to see how that breaks down because you got to look at that no matter who wins, because it's that Republican vote that tells you a little bit more what's going to happen in the next group of primaries, which are all Republican.
So, um, Let's say, let's say, let's say he wins by 10%, but he wins the Republican vote by 20%.
Well, that's more likely the way he's going to win other Republican primaries by 20%.
Uh, because most States do not allow independents or unaffiliated to vote in the party primary.
This state does the last time I looked Biden.
Was at a similar percentage, about 50% of write-in votes against two people that nobody knows.
Now, I don't think there were very many of those votes, but it looks like he is going to, he's going to defeat as a write-in the two candidates on the ballot by a very, very substantial margin.
Nothing like Obama's percentage, however.
When he ran as an incumbent where he got like 75 or 80%, but he was on the ballot in fairness.
So I don't know how much you can read into the Biden vote.
Um, when we were at one of the polling places today, Ted, I think I'll remember this.
There seemed to be a lot of right in Biden signs, uh, more than you'd expect.
And in a way, in a way it helped Trump.
Because it meant that a Democrat-leaning Independent, of which there are many, now is being pulled in two directions.
Should they vote for Haley to hurt Trump, or should they vote for Biden so he doesn't get hurt and look like he doesn't have a good enough percentage in New Hampshire?
So Democrats couldn't agree on what they wanted to do.
Haley was quite convinced that what she wanted was to vote for her, which I think is going to hurt her.
Down the line, much more than even the defeat here.
The defeat here is expected.
It's like the other people who were defeated, you can, you know, live to run another day.
But having run in a primary where you tried to bring the enemy into your camp in order to fool people, that's just going to fit into the image of her that has been rather Strongly established here, which hadn't existed before, which is she's kind of really sneaky and people don't like her.
Remember, and I can tell you this as a former candidate and a former candidate in the primary, what your opponents think of you is enormously important.
It tells you a lot about what goes on behind the scenes.
So when I ran, for example, I don't mind telling you at all that all of the people I was close to, which are mainly the front runners, Couldn't stand Romney.
I don't think Governor Huckabee would be uncomfortable telling you that.
I know I see him whenever Romney rears his head, biting it off.
But I don't mind telling you something he told me very early in the campaign when we hardly knew each other.
And I was I was at that time what people would consider a moderate Republican.
He was a very conservative Republican.
And he said, you know, I'm for me and I'm not going to support you in the primary.
I'm going to win.
Uh, but I'd have a much easier time if you get the nomination supporting you than Romney, even though Romney pretends to be more like me.
I said, what do you mean?
Well, here's the difference.
You tell the truth and he does it.
Remember that he was a minister and that, and I think he called out Romney long before anybody else did.
I mean, it turned out he was, he's a real snake, but, um, Romney, myself, and John McCain used to make fun of him and didn't like him.
He used to do a high school thing like, as soon as the debate was over, everybody always wanted to be the first one on television, but you had to get there first.
He would literally not stay behind and shake hands with people on the stage.
He'd leave his wife there all by herself and he'd take off.
And it seemed absolutely ridiculous, because first of all, look Awful, and it was awful, and it's kind of fun after the debate to talk to your colleagues, the people you're running against.
After all, you're not really enemies.
You're in the same political party, and I knew I was going to support one of them afterwards if I didn't win, and I knew the one I wanted to support if I didn't win, which was McCain.
I'd have been happy to support Huckabee, and I'd have been very depressed supporting Romney, which is why I even dropped out earlier than I would ordinarily have, which I think explains DeSantis's action.
That's why I felt kind of an affinity toward him, uh, because he went out of his way when he dropped out, not just to support Trump, but to tell, to say that Haley wasn't up to the job.
That's a strong, strong comment from a competitor.
They're basically saying, I, I, I was in the foxhole with this person.
I got a good look at them.
They can't be president.
Uh, Christie.
Christy said the same thing.
Christy said exactly the same thing.
And you're referring to that which cycled right now?
Oh, about Nikki?
About Nikki, yes.
That's right.
That's right.
And Mayor, just so you are aware, Fox News just called the race about a minute ago.
It was behind everybody.
They were about, we had the first calls around 8.03.
They must have called it around 8.11, maybe 8.12.
Very reluctantly, I'm sure.
Remember they supported, they had a period of time where they had about two days devoted just to DeSantis, of free commercials.
DeSantis' life story, DeSantis' position on this and that, a complete mini-biography of DeSantis on the, a mini-biography of DeSantis on the, oh gosh, that ran a couple of days in a row.
Then when he was out of it, uh, lately they've been pushing, they've been pushing, um, Haley.
In fact, um, some of them are so pathetic.
They, they want her to run even if she loses big.
Well, uh, right now we're at, oh my goodness, 19%.
And, uh, Haley has gained a little, uh, 52, 53 to round it off to 46 would be roughly it.
And now Trump went up a little.
Of course, what percent do you have there?
19% reporting President Trump at 32,000, Nikki Haley at 28,000.
So the total number of votes right now, we're sitting at about 60,000.
Well, that should get you, so that's six.
And we're not, we're just at 20% in.
So that's interesting.
60,000 votes makes up 20%.
Times that by 5, that's 300,000.
That'd be the 322 that he's talking about.
That's about, we're talking about 300 maybe.
300, around, yes.
Maybe, maybe.
A little over, so that, yeah, you're right.
be the 322 that he's talking about.
That's about what time about 300, maybe 300 around.
Yes.
Maybe, maybe a little over so that, yeah, you're right.
Well, 18, 24.
Yeah.
Yeah, give or take, it's 19%, right?
In those numbers, it's a little over 60,000.
It's actually probably 61, 62.
That would be less than the 322, though.
Yeah, it'll probably be a little bit less, but not crazy less, right?
No, well, probably explained by the drop in the number of candidates and very close to, if it stays that way, a little over the record of 299,000.
So it would be a very, A very heavily voted primary.
Now, New Hampshire usually has the highest primary percentage in the country.
In six of the last presidential elections, it's led four times.
Been as high as 54% in 2008.
Really hovers always around 50%.
Remember, Iowa was 15%.
really hovers always around 50%. Remember, Iowa's 15%. This is going to be around 50%.
That's a very big difference.
And as a result, it gives you a pretty good idea of the strength of a candidate.
Trump right now has about a seven point lead, six to seven point lead, which would give Haley room to live to fight another day if that ends up being the end result.
There was a real debate here about turnout.
The Secretary of State saying it'd be the highest ever.
And then other experts, the usual experts on the New Hampshire primary, saying that it wasn't a very exciting primary.
And therefore, first of all, there really was none on the Democrat side.
They had to create whatever they're creating for Biden.
Uh, no, no drama in it and no expectation that either one of these two candidates could defeat him even as a write-in.
So the Democrats would, would contribute to depressing the primary.
And then on the Republican side, the expectation that Trump was going to win.
And even though Haley could try to bring in Democrats and excite them, and Trump could try to convince his voters, don't stay home.
I'm going to win.
That's never a great appeal.
So that group of experts thought it wouldn't be much of a turnout.
Looks like the people who said high turnout right now, it looks like they're going to prevail.
Because you've got a total of 65,000 votes now with exactly 20% in.
Right?
So you're going to hit around 300,000.
But with one fifth of the vote in, Trump is leading by, and I'll Say it this way, so we get an idea of, um, he's leading by only eight percent.
Six.
Oh, I'm sorry, yep, yep, six percent, by only six percent.
That would be interesting, which is 20 percent reporting.
So what they are, and of course you have more experience than almost anybody when it comes to campaigns and elections, How are they comfortable calling it so early?
Because either the rest of the vote is exactly like this or better.
It's not going to be worse.
I would seriously doubt it's going to get worse.
They wouldn't have called it.
I mean, if it just ends up being a two or three point election, they shouldn't have called it when they did.
They have no way of calling it that way.
They have to be looking at exit polls that tell them that the vote's going to remain that way or get better.
And I do think they called it kind of early.
I mean, I don't think it's fair to call an election based on exit polls.
I mean, they're never absolutely accurate.
They're like any other poll, because they're a sample.
Remember, they don't go ask every single person who voted, did you vote?
They do a profile of what they think the eventual turnout is going to be.
And then they do enough voters in that profile to get an idea of what's going to happen.
Now, is it generally more accurate than a regular poll?
Yes.
Have they been dreadfully wrong?
Yes.
They've been way off.
In 2004, the exit polls would have given you Kerry as a president.
And in fact, even Fox was insisting he was going to win.
Well, I knew he was going to lose.
But their exit polls told him it was going to win.
And they weren't anti-Bush then.
They were anti-Kerry.
They weren't doing that because of any bias.
They were doing that because they have more confidence in their pollsters than they do in numbers, which is silly.
Because exit polls, although more accurate than regular polls, can in fact be off.
One of the big boosts for Trump was yesterday.
The Catholic voting group, which is one of the largest Catholic groups in the country, that has 160,000 plus participating members in New Hampshire, endorsed Trump in a very, very strong endorsement, not based on abortion, based on fighting to restore God to America.
That he would be a much stronger person to reestablish religion as having an important place in the country and to fix an awful lot of the damage done by the Biden administration's attack on the free exercise of religion than any other candidate, in particular Haley, who was really the only candidate left.
Um, so that probably had to add something.
And I think the way they ended the campaigns, uh, helped, uh, Trump.
He ended on a, on a note of unity with his opponents with him, endorsing him.
Uh, only one not with him was DeSantis, but DeSantis had endorsed him, uh, and specifically warning people about her.
So, um, and she ended.
By telling someone in one of her interviews that Trump is as bad as Biden, which we know she doesn't believe, so all she did was reinforce the notion of her as a, what would we say, less than forthright person?
That might be the best way to say it.
Less than forthright person, I think would be the best way to say it, without getting too Mean.
So we'll take a short break and we'll be right back.

New Hampshire is first in the nation.
It is not the last demolition.
This race is far from over.
There are dozens of states left to go.
And the next one is my sweet student of South Carolina.
At one point in this campaign, there were 14 of us running.
And we were at 2% in the polls.
Well, I'm a fighter.
And I'm scrappy.
And now we're the last one standing next to Donald Trump.
And today we got close to half of the vote.
Bye-bye.
you We still have a ways to go, but we keep moving up.
Bye, guys.
For a lot of people, politics is way too personal.
Yes.
It's not personal for me.
I voted for Trump twice.
I was proud to serve America in his cabinet.
I agree with many of his policies.
I decided to run because I'm worried about the future of our country
and because it's time to put the negativity and chaos behind us.
We have an economy that's crushing middle-class Americans.
We have a border that is totally open and dangerous, creating a disaster in our country.
We have schools that are failing too many of our children.
And we have a world on fire with the war in Europe and the Middle East and a huge and growing threat from China.
And then you look at Washington DC.
Okay, so Nikki, you know, giving another, uh, well, that body is an amazing chemical.

I mean, it's really, there's so much on there, Rudy.
I mean, you've seen it.
No, no, no, I've seen it and I use it and it's I mean, it's just exactly the same except for half the price.
Plus, nobody is finding out what I'm watching, and that's not being reported to anybody.
Right, so you have absolute privacy using this device, which you don't have on other devices out there currently on the market.
This is absolutely great.
Q-U-X dot TV is how you can find out about it.
Q-U-X dot TV.
Use promo code Rudy to receive $30 off.
Well, that was an interesting concession speech, if you want to call it that.
Actually not.
A concession in New Hampshire.
And I would say she did that because the numbers are going to get worse for her.
So she's conceding when she's within six, seven, eight points, which is a good place for her to be.
And not where she's probably going to end up more like 9, 10, 11, 12.
Um, and as I look at the map of the votes that have come in, um, it seems to me, it seems to me that, um, the Trump part of the state has not really reported in yet in the same numbers.
So if we want to look at that map right there, you see the map right there?
Can you see that, Ted?
Yep.
What I have up there?
So right in the left hand, can they see my finger if I put it there?
No.
They can't.
You put out the TV behind you.
Okay, if I go over here, I can show you right there.
That's Dartmouth.
Ah, that's Dartmouth.
That's Dartmouth.
That probably accounts for why she's so close.
This is where we are.
We're up a little bit, yep.
Right here.
That's the county we're in.
This is where the president is right now, or should be.
That's where his headquarters is, in Nashua.
That's right.
We're about right here.
This is Republican.
Most of this is all Republican, which means it's going to be very heavily Trump.
This little portion here is Democrat, right here.
So that's reported, that's Democrat, that's Democrat, that's Democrat.
This is Republican, not reported, this is Republican.
The whole bottom of the state across here is generally Republican.
This is general.
New Hampshire switches a lot.
But this right here, this is, this will be a Trump vote.
With this, he's already, looks like he's already, they've already reported Nashville.
They've reported parts of Manchester, which looks like he, he won.
But they haven't reported the rest of Manchester, which is right here.
And this part of the state here, up here, this would be very heavily Trump.
Basically, from here up, this whole portion of the state is heavily conservative.
The northern part of the state is Republican and conservative.
The southern tip of the state, the closer you get to Massachusetts, the more... The southern part of the state Uh, the more you will get to Democrat, liberal, moderate, Republican, that sort of thing.
So I would say right now that, uh, the reason they called it is that the portions of the state more likely to vote for, uh, Haley have report over reported in comparison to the Trump parts of the state.
Uh, which means that the, um, that the six, seven point lead is going to expand.
Maybe more than 10%.
We'll have to see.
They could.
So you think there's a chance that these early votes came in from places like Dartmouth?
Well, they did.
I mean, Dartmouth is definitely reported.
That's the county, Hanover County, over there.
That is Hanover County.
That's Dartmouth. And both of those have reported.
So again, it was interesting, this race was called just after the top of the hours when the final
polls closed. A lot of polls closed at 7 p.m. Eastern. The last ones closed at 8 p.m. Eastern,
in about three minutes. The expectation from the exit polls is that he's going to win 55% or more.
So we'll have to see. Now again, that's very dangerous because
They're relying on a poll to do that.
Unless they're cheating, they don't know what's in the machines.
Nobody knows.
This is a very honest state.
This is not one of those crooked democratic cities that feature cheating on elections even when they don't have to for practice.
This is not Chicago.
This is not Philadelphia.
This is not a Fulton County fanny fanny country.
Because, among other things, if you're crooked in one way, you're often crooked in the other, right?
Did you ever think of that?
People who steal money sometimes steal votes when they're in politics.
They get used to stealing.
And of course, Mayor, New Hampshire's a unique state with their primary process.
It appears that we did have a good number of independents and maybe even some Democrats, who I know not this time around, they're not registered as a Democrat.
But that makes it unique.
So how much can Nikki Haley look into a six, seven point margin coming out of here?
I mean, that might excite her.
For public purposes, a six, seven point margin is good for her.
Internally and realistically, what she should look at is she should look at the breakdown.
What was the Republican vote?
Because that's going to predict what happens in the future.
She should look at this and she doesn't have to tell anybody.
I mean, she's running.
But she should look at this and say to herself, okay, let's say it gets to 55-45.
That's sort of right at the margin of you really got beaten bad.
But if she really got beaten by 10% more than that with the Republican vote, she's just fooling herself and everybody else to say she's close.
If the Republican votes turned out to be what CNN predicted it would be, 67% for Trump, that's a wipeout.
That means the Republican Party ain't gonna pick you, Nikki.
You're not the one.
And she's looking forward to her state.
The last poll in her state was 30%.
Her state doesn't allow Democrats to vote in the Republican primary.
Her state is very Republican.
If anything, the positions she's now taken have probably hurt her in her state from the time she was governor.
And it would seem to me that he is, from everything I know about Caroline, He is much more popular in South Carolina than her.
She was a popular governor, but she wasn't a DeSantis, let's say.
She wasn't a governor who, rightly or wrongly, and I think rightly, but some people don't, was credited as being one of the best in the country.
She wasn't considered a bad governor.
She wasn't considered a great governor.
And I think she was I don't remember how popular she was in her state, but I think she was okay.
But right now, she's been running for quite some time, and somebody else has beaten her by 30 points, so that has to tell you something about the people who know her best, right?
And we'll have to see what happens when the next big group of votes come in.
We're up to 24% now, and It's still close.
I mean, it's still 4, 5, 6, 6 percent.
That would be a moral victory for her, but a deceptive one if the Republican margin is, let's say, double that.
And I can tell you, looking at that map, that's probably going to happen.
That's probably going to happen.
It looks like it looks like Manchester has reported, which is the largest city in the state.
Now, Manchester is usually Democrat, although it just elected a Republican mayor, which actually could be an indication of how poorly the Democrat Party is doing generally in the country.
I mean, Uh, when the Democrats are doing well, Manchester will be a Republic, a democratic city when they're not doing well, then it goes Republican.
I also think, uh, this state is a, is a, is a, is a flip is a, is a, is going to be a flip to Trump in the general election.
Uh, looking at these numbers and also knowing what they're like and, and Biden's, uh, um, insulting them by not participating in the primary.
I mean, he's a write-in in the primary, and he's got 50% there.
But, I mean, that you can do just with the party regulars, the people that have jobs from the Democratic officeholders.
Just get them to vote, and you're going to get to 50% in a very low turnout primary.
And their primary will probably be 30% turnout, 20% turnout.
20, 30% turnout, something like that.
And it'll be interesting to see, Mayor, how Joe Biden does with his write-in campaign.
Well, right now he's at 50.
He's at 50. He lives at something like 50%.
He's got his write-in at 50% and all the rest.
It might even be a little better than 50%.
Okay.
So, and of course we saw a lot of So it's interesting on the Democrat side and that plays into what you were saying about the Republicans and specifically President Trump putting it in play.
And will there be a backlash from some in the state for the way the Democrat party is treating the state?
Oh, I think that this state will be Republican unless something drastically changes.
If the election were held right now, Trump would probably win it by five, six percent.
Also looking at the exit polls, to the extent they were reported on On television, a major issue by a lot is immigration.
So you know that's an anti-Biden.
Nobody's voting for Biden on immigration, unless they're open borders.
And believe me, New Hampshire is not an open border state.
Even the Democrats are concerned about The mass invasion of the unknown group of people that have come to the United States.
You can look at it that way.
We've had an influx of five, six, seven million people into this country.
And by and large, we don't know who the hell they are.
There's no guarantee they're good people or bad people.
So when there's no guarantee they're good or bad, you got to assume the worst, don't you?
To protect yourself.
And when you consider that, um, that, The cartels have, literally, the Mexican cartels have a lot more to do with who's in this country than the United States Immigration Service.
They know more about the people coming in than we do.
The only thing we find out later on is how many have been increased and put on our terror watch list.
And those numbers are up to phenomenal historical numbers.
To the extent that people even like the weak-minded and useless director of the FBI is warning us, but can't seem to tell us how we got there.
I mean, when he was before Congress, he gave them every warning possible to take pressure off themselves that there'll be an attack.
But then when asked, you know, isn't it because of the open border?
That's the answer he gave.
It's not about that.
I'm just a flunky of the Democrats.
Remember, I'm the guy who concealed the hard drive.
What the hell, you think I'm going to tell you the truth?
I mean, it's pathetic what we have in law enforcement, isn't it?
At the top.
It's even made more pathetic by the fact that the people at the working level are people that are putting their lives at risk to protect us.
And they're being led by, in some cases, criminals.
I mean, what What Ray permitted to happen with the hard drive, the concealment of it, both for purposes of criminal investigation, preventing unnecessary impeachment, and then defrauding the American people with regard to the criminal background of a presidential candidate, not allowing them to have that information so they could make a reasoned, intelligent choice.
I mean, the man really should be in jail, not running the FBI.
He shouldn't be putting people in jail.
He should be in jail.
And if that is what the next president does, it is by no means some form of vindictive anything.
It's pure justice.
In fact, if he doesn't do it, he's not doing his job.
Crimes of that nature have to be addressed, or they continue, which is why we're in the problem we're in now.
We haven't addressed it.
We've given the Democrat criminals immunity to do whatever the hell they wanted.
We let Comey get away with lying to the court in order to put a president under investigation fraudulently.
We allowed Strzok and his girlfriend to try to fix an election and then try to take out a lawfully elected president based on lies.
And they were FBI agents and they were fired, but they never prosecuted.
I mean, these are things that you keep, you keep allowing it and they keep going further.
I am quite convinced that if, if, uh, we had used the criminal laws, the way they're intended to be used, that the concealment of the hard drive never would have taken place.
They'd have been afraid, but they saw that they get away with anything.
Hillary got away with destroying 33,000 emails.
Now we've got the same issue with the January 6th committee.
It's extraordinary.
I mean, they destroyed 11,000, uh, I'm not even gonna say documents, 11,000 categories of documents.
You know, they didn't do that because it contains helpful information, uh, for Donald Trump, right?
You know, they didn't do it because it has incriminating stuff about me.
They did it just the opposite.
And the, uh, at least the, um, allegations right now are the categories in which the, um, covering up and the destruction were done involved, uh, a significant amount of prior knowledge of what was going to happen on January, on January 6th, that was directed to Pelosi.
Who is alleged to have known about it and done nothing about it.
Apparently these documents are alleged to substantiate her prior knowledge and her do-nothing approach so that she could get some kind of a riot that she could blame on Trump.
The other allegation is that the documents concern Fulton County and the case in Atlanta and the development of that case.
And the timing of it.
Remember, that's important because it was just recently revealed a couple of two weeks ago that the prosecutor in Fulton County was allegedly having an affair with the incompetent, unqualified person she selected.
To oversee the investigation, a man who knew nothing about the RICO laws, the criminal laws, or ever prosecuted anything more than a misdemeanor case.
And she gave him one of the most important cases in the United States, one of the most important cases in our history, a prosecution of a former president.
And then, if you look at the way she organized it with her alleged lover, They engineered the case so that the indictment would come right in the middle of the election period.
It could have been done a year earlier, but they elected to have two grand juries, a completely unnecessary first grand jury that merely made recommendations.
That had the effect of doing two things, both of which at least Hypotheses or possibilities that have to be investigated.
One, it multiplied the amount of money available for them to whack up.
For the two lovers to keep for themselves.
Two grand juries, double the charges.
Basically, we're paying this incompetent lawyer for a grand jury that wasn't necessary because his lover decided to convene one.
That wasn't necessary.
I mean, it can't be that that isn't going to be a crime unless they fall into the golden circle, which is Democrats who can commit serious crimes and get away with it because they're Democrats.
Now, I feel strongly about this because these particular Democrats would like to put me in jail for doing absolutely nothing wrong, but doing my job as a lawyer for the rest of my life.
And they also would like to put the man who's winning this primary tonight in jail for the rest of his life.
Who is the choice of, um, right now more than half the people or more than half of the Republicans and independents who are voting in New Hampshire and, um, has been now declared the winner.
This is the first Republican.
It's not the first person to win the New Hampshire primary three times.
So, I mean, what you have to say is he's a popular choice for president.
It doesn't mean he's going to be elected, but it does mean he's got an awful lot of Americans that want to vote for him, who the Democrats are seriously attempting to deprive of that right.
Now, that isn't the way we play politics in the United States.
If a large number of Americans want to vote for somebody, the other party doesn't figure out how to manipulate our law to prevent them from exercising their franchise.
That's what the Democrats are doing.
If you look upon these cases as criminal cases, you're really being brainwashed.
There's nothing criminal about these cases with regard to the people who are being prosecuted.
The prosecutors are the criminals.
A hard thing to understand, right?
But the criminals here are the prosecutors.
Now, easier in Atlanta if these charges turn out to be true, right?
And remember, I emphasized the fact that she has not denied a single one of these charges.
Fanny Fanny's response to it is Fauny Fauny.
By the way, Fauny is spelled F-A-U-N-I, not F-A-N-I.
She insists that she's Fauny.
I don't know.
I mean, I look, I see F-A-N-I and I say Fanny.
Probably not worth fighting with her about that.
But the name that will go on her, on her prison outfit will be F-A-N-I.
Hopefully I will not get one as a result of these revelations, the case, which stinks and now stinks to high heaven will be thrown out.
Um, and I, I would say it should be thrown out, not just because of the, uh, it should have, look what they, what they, uh, what they did on their trips to, uh, it looks like at least at least, uh, three, uh, cruises, uh, other vacations.
That's up to them.
The way they generated the money for it, however, should put them in the penitentiary.
And then, what they did with this case, in manipulating it so that it's brought against the presidential candidate of the Republican Party, should put him in federal prison for a long period of time.
Because that's about as serious a crime as you can commit, other than maybe drugs and murder.
To screw around with our right to vote and our right to pick the candidate of our choice.
For that, you get a life sentence.
I mean, maybe you give life sentences and these idiots will stop doing it.
And you don't think that this kind of suggested possibly Trump was right about who these people are?
I mean, it's going to turn out.
The only thing they didn't do is cheat in the 2020 election to snob them.
They committed every other crime imaginable.
All those people alleging that they cheated are just a bunch of liars.
And about that one thing, they're telling the truth.
The minute you start becoming a criminal, you're a criminal.
I'm sorry.
If you're going to steal money, if they put votes in front of you and you got to steal it so you continue to steal money, you steal the votes.
And that's what's going on here.
We elected, we elected to the head of our country, a 30 to 35 year felon, criminal, who sold the only two offices he ever held.
He sold them out.
Now he's got a third one that he's in the process of selling out.
And shamefully, we were stupid enough to vote for him.
Even without the hard drive, we should have been smart enough to realize who this man was.
But he fooled us.
They deliberately withheld information from us.
As a result of that, lots of people died that didn't have to.
It's much more serious than anybody can exaggerate it.
Those people that died in Ukraine, They can blame it on the people who voted for Biden.
That would not have happened if Trump had been reelected.
Putin would not have gone into the Ukraine.
Those people would be alive today.
They'd be enjoying themselves.
They'd be having a life.
The consequences of cheating on an election can be fatal.
In this case, they cause mass fatalities.
Biden's dishonesty is being compromised.
And his imbecility have led to many, many needless deaths, both in the United States and abroad.
I would say a reasonably competent president, not even Trump, and the fentanyl deaths would be half what they are.
It does nothing to stop it.
Nothing.
That wire that the Supreme Court has said He can take down that Governor Abbott put up to stop people from coming into Texas illegally.
Taking down that wire will mean more fentanyl deaths in the United States, which the Supreme Court has just contributed to.
Now, the Supreme Court was in a difficult position because legally, the doctrine of federal preemption is very, very strong.
I didn't look at the case carefully enough to give you a definitive opinion about it.
But I can't tell you like I can about some of the other things that it was, from a legal analysis point of view, absolutely wrong.
I can tell you from a public policy point of view, it was criminal.
Abbott put that wire there to stop people from coming into his state who were committing crimes in his state, who were killing people in his state, who were killing people all throughout the United States with a president who does nothing about it but help them come in.
The immigration crisis in our country is at the point where our country is being invaded and our president is assisting in the invasion of our country.
When these people who come in who are all illegal, every single one of them is illegal, we should stop the nonsense of talking about them as, you know, migrants and they're illegal.
Every single one of them that is by and large, nine out of ten of them are falsely claiming asylum.
And even the ones who are correctly claiming it should claim it in the first country they go to.
And they don't.
And they should be sent back to that country the minute they get here.
Instead of sent to New York or Chicago or someplace else.
I think this election was very much determined by that.
I mean, to a very large extent.
So the margin now is up to about 8%.
That's right.
A little over 8% with 30% reporting.
And Mayor, I had asked earlier, you didn't give away my naivete on this, but I had asked you earlier, right?
Wow.
Nikki Haley's coming out and speaking pretty early, right?
Without even, without skipping a beat, you told me why.
And it made sense.
She wanted to come out.
I guarantee you the number will be whatever.
I don't know how much.
But the number will be worse for her at the more appropriate time that you would concede.
It should be about an hour from now.
Yeah.
But politically, that's okay.
I don't, that's a smart thing to do.
Yeah.
So she did it because- I respect her campaign for smart political decisions.
What I don't respect them for is when she says things like Trump is as bad as Biden.
Now, because I, look, there are people that might think that.
She doesn't.
Yeah.
You know she doesn't think that.
There's no way.
She said as much a thousand times.
Yeah.
I know as a Republican, she doesn't believe that.
Crazy.
You know, she's, she's looking at you and she knows, and you know that she's lying.
It's not an exaggeration.
It's not a, it's just a straight flat out and out lie.
And you know, she's going to eat those words a week, couple of weeks from now when she gets slaughtered in her home state.
Uh, if she continues to remain in it, it's a hell of a thing to get defeated in your home state.
It's a hell of a thing to get wiped out of your home state.
It just about ends your political career.
I would think the way she's conducted herself has come pretty close to ending her career in the Republican party.
I would say, uh, we want to start thinking about 2028.
She's, uh, she's got, uh, you know, 60 to 70% of the party against her.
Like there'll be.
Rand Paul will control 60-70% of the party with the Nevaehale stuff.
And when you look at the reaction of her opponents, it tells you everything you need to know about her.
When they came out of the race, all they had to do was endorse Trump.
They didn't have to take a shot at her.
Even Christie, who didn't endorse Trump, took a shot at her.
And I know Chris Christie.
I don't think he makes too many mistakes.
That was an awfully It wasn't just that she's going to get defeated.
It's that she's not actually exactly, exactly what the others said.
She's not up to the job.
She's not presidential material.
And you listen to her.
And the more you listen to her, the more of a lightweight and the more of a disingenuous person she turns out to be.
And it's good.
There are times where You're being in a presidential race and losing helps you.
There are times to being in a presidential race destroys you.
This is getting close to destroying her.
And if she brings it to her home state and gets whipped by the people of South Carolina.
I mean, if they thought anything of her as a governor, she wouldn't be behind right now by 30%.
Every single elected official, just about in the state of South Carolina, seemed to be in New Hampshire the last Saturday night.
I want people not to miss it.
Wasn't that something?
We had the governor, speaker, other reps.
In fact, if you want her, why don't you keep her?
Mayor, after that, it's like, how did she ever get elected down there?
There was a lieutenant governor.
It's amazing.
Oh, and he's in South Carolina.
There's no question about that.
He starts talking, you know, he's Henry.
Yeah.
Henry Henry comes a very old friend of mine.
Yeah.
In fact, I helped select him for U.S.
attorney in South Carolina.
Henry is a true Southern gentleman.
Yep.
No question where he's from.
But you would really like him to tell you what he really thinks of Nikki Hill.
And he certainly did.
And you had every other elected official.
Every elected official.
Every major.
Every statewide official in the state.
Not a good lie.
Fink was there.
And the state is 100% Republican.
At least DeSantis had a good amount of support.
He didn't have all his elected officials coming out.
He had most of them.
And a lot of them waited.
Rubio waited at a deference and a whole bunch of them waited.
It's hard when your governor, who you like, is running against a person who you think is better.
That's just hard though.
I mean, that's a tough political situation.
Um, did you ever run into problems like that throughout your career where a friend, someone you like was running for, and you don't have to name names here.
Somebody was running for office and obviously you've been asked at all sorts of levels.
Times in which I stayed out of it because they were both equally friendly or both equally supportive or I was loyal.
That's gotta be tough.
I mean, sometimes I would stay out of it and sometimes I'd have to make a choice.
Uh, it doesn't happen too often.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But then you like, um, I supported Bush instead of McCain and as a good friend of John's, but I just thought Bush had a better chance of winning.
And it put a strain on our friendship for a while.
But then when I refused to do a negative commercial against John in the New York primary, he called me up and he said, you know, I should stop being so narrow about this.
You really are quite a guy.
And then we remained friends until he died.
Despite his difficulties and Trump's difficulties with him, John was a personal friend.
I probably campaigned for him in 2008 as hard as I did for Trump or for myself.
And when I endorsed him, it was a real endorsement.
And I spent the next number of months supporting him.
I probably went to 30 states for him.
But I had to make a choice between him and Bush, and I chose Bush for the good of the country.
I thought that Bush had a better chance of beating Gore, and I thought the idea of Al Gore was catastrophic.
I thought he would have been a catastrophically weak president.
Compared to what we have now, I won't even say.
I mean, as President Trump says, this is the best thing that could ever happen to Jimmy Carter.
But it's the worst thing that can happen to America.
He is so bad, he is no longer a joking matter.
When I see him stumbling around and looking like he's, you know, just got up out of a coffin, I say to myself, I can't laugh because he's stumbling and bumbling.
My God, this guy has our life in his hands and my children's and my grandchildren and yours.
And he doesn't know what the hell he's doing.
And we're stupid enough to keep him there.
Which says a lot about us to the rest of the world.
Well, why don't you let our audience know what we're doing here?
We're going to wrap up our show now and we're going to go to Trump headquarters and we're invited to the party and we're going to might as well have a little party.
I mean, this is a big win.
It's going to be bigger by the time the night is over.
And it means The nomination is all but over, except in the mind of Nikki Haley.
And she may come to her senses when she takes a good look at what's going to happen to her in South Carolina.
But we'll see.
She may have an agenda of her own.
Her agenda does not seem to be a future in the Republican Party.
So, again, thank you for joining us and congratulations to President Trump, who will be the nominee of the Republican Party, God willing.
And that seems to be the way it's aiming.
But I'll have for you tomorrow night, I'll get you the Republican totals here, because that'll give you a better idea of how to predict the future primaries.
Well, thank you, and God bless you.
God bless the people of Israel, which I wanted to talk about tonight, but you know, tonight was a big enough occasion where it should be devoted all to this.
This is our future after all, and this is an election that's more important than any other we've ever had.
So God bless the people of Israel and God bless America.
Our purpose is to bring to bear the principle of common sense and rational discussion to the issues of our day.
America was created at a time of great turmoil, tremendous disagreements, anger, hatred.
It was a book written in 1776 that guided much of the discipline of thinking that brought to us the discovery of our freedoms, of our God-given freedoms.
It was Thomas Paine's Common Sense, written in 1776, one of the first American bestsellers, in which Thomas Paine explained, by rational principles, the reason why these small colonies felt the necessity to separate from the Kingdom of Great Britain and the King of England.
He explained their inherent desire for liberty, for freedom, freedom of religion, freedom
of speech, the ability to select the people who govern them.
And he explained it in ways that were understandable to all the people, not just the elite.
Because the desire for freedom is universal.
The desire for freedom adheres in the human mind and it is a part of the human soul.
This is exactly the time we should consult our history.
Look at what we've done in the past.
And see if we can't use it to help us now.
We understand that our founders created the greatest country in the history of the world.
The greatest democracy, the freest country.
A country that has taken more people out of poverty than any country ever.
All of us are so fortunate to be Americans.
But a great deal of the reason for America's constant ability to self-improve is because we're able to reason.
We're able to talk.
We're able to analyze.
