Speaker 1: Ron DeSantis is not known for charisma, and he is certainly not known to be a good public
speaker. He is not high energy, but he gave a very interesting speech last night after losing the
Iowa caucus. Remember, DeSantis did not win. He gave a speech around 1030 Central time. I'm there
in Iowa, where he acted as though they did it, and he used the term that they got their
ticket punched out of Iowa. Everything about how this guy speaks is just so cringey. And DeSantis
seems to be declaring victory even though he lost. It's really weird. Take a listen to this.
Unidentified: Thank you. Thanks so much. They threw everything but the
kitchen sink at us. Uh uh uh uh uh. Speaker 2: Yeah. We love you too. They
threw everything but the kitchen sink at us. They spent almost $50 million attacking us.
No one's face that much. All the way. Just through Iowa. They. The media was against
us. They were writing our obituary months ago. Speaker 1: I mean, it'll probably be written
next week. It'll probably publish next week. So it's not that early.
Speaker 2: They even called the election going before people even got a chance to vote. But
they were just so excited about the fact that they were predicting, uh, that we wouldn't be able to
get our ticket punched here out of Iowa. But I can tell you, because of your support, in spite of all
of that, that they threw at us, everyone against us. We've got our ticket punched out of Iowa.
Speaker 1: I guess what he's saying is my performance wasn't so humiliating. I didn't
lose the solid second place status by so much that I had months ago. I am able to continue
to next week's primary in New Hampshire. I guess that's what he means by he got his ticket punched
out of Iowa. And similarly, Nikki Haley said it's now a two person race, the primary. I'm
not gathering that from the numbers either. It seems like it's Trump and then Nikki and Ron
fighting for second place. And by the way, Nikki Haley didn't even come in in second place. So I
don't know which two people she's thinking about. Speaker 3: I can safely say tonight, Iowa made
this Republican primary a two person race. Speaker 1: With which two people. I don't.
I really don't understand which two people she's thinking of. Very, very strange. But,
you know, I guess they have their talking point. They're not going to deviate from it. DeSantis
giving a speech that would be indicative of at least a strong second place. Except he
barely beat Nikki Haley. Nikki Haley giving a speech indicative of her being in a strong
second place with the sand. This behind her. That's also not true. So it's all very weird
and pre-planned speeches. I guess once you write the speech, you stick to it,
even if the election results don't coincide. So there it is. We heard the results. We heard from
the top three finishers. It was not a good night for Vivek Ramaswamy. We will take a very short
break and then discuss his future or lack thereof in a moment. Remember that as we enter now,
