Speaker 1 (00:00):
I really think this is time now for everybody our
country to come together. We want to come together, whether
it's Republican or a Democrat, or a liberal or conservative,
it would be so nice if we could come together.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
He won by over fifty percent, He won every county
but one. He won every single demographic and he's going
to be the nominee. And it's making the heads explode
of people you hate, and that is very enjoyable.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
You don't always get to choose the means by which
your enemy's heads explode, but the point is they exploded.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
So New Gingrich. I saw him on Hannity last night
saying what people don't get is it's not a movement
around Trump. It's not about Trump. It is a movement,
and it is a movement, big time operative of the
Democratic Party. What's your name? Black lady ran Hillary Clinton's campaign,

(00:58):
Donna Brazil. Brazil who said there's only she said, there's
only been three movements in my lifetime, Reagan, Obama, and Trump.
She's absolutely right. Trump is a movement. And here's an
interesting part of that though. So the exit polling out
of Iowa, almost half of the voters count themselves as
MAGA but more than half fifty four percent of the

(01:22):
people who voted for Trump don't consider themselves maga.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
I would be in that crowd personally, whatever that means.
It's kind of an eye of the beholder thing, isn't it.
I'm confused about that, that whole concept. Sure, I get that,
but I wouldn't consider most I see what you're saying, though,
I think you know, and that almost proves the point
that they're not comfortable with the whole How would you

(01:46):
describe it. I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings, but
the whole package of trump Ism, but they want Trump,
and I would you know, I'd have to disagree with
Gingrich at least somewhat. I wish he was here to
talk about that, because I'd love to know, you know,
maybe the subtleties of what he meant. But there are
several people, including Ron DeSantis, who I think have been

(02:09):
at least as capable in battling the evil doers as Trump.
A lot of what the Trump movement seems to be.
He represented well, but he's not Trump. And as soon
as Trump said yeah, I am still in and I'm
still a factor, his support to abandon him. So David drugger, Old,
friend of the Armstrong and Getty Show, tweeted this out yesterday,

(02:31):
and I thought this was as good as anything I've
come across. One reason the message of Trump being dangerous
to democracy, etc. Doesn't penetrate with a lot of Republicans
is that we assume that any opposing GOP candidate they
nominated would get the same treatment.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
As they have throughout history. You called Mitt Romney hitler.
You called George W. Bush hitler, You called H. W. Bush,
Bob Dole, you, you call everybody hitler.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
You see, and everybody is a threat to democracy and
the most important election of our lifetimes.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
Right. You made Mitt Romney out to be some sort
of Hitler like threat to democracy, extreme fascist. You're familiar
with the boy who cried Wolf. You can only do
that so many times, Good Lord Armstrong, PETI
