Latest / Radio Baloney - The Richie Baloney Show! / Chris Christie On HOT MIC Says Nikki Haley "Gonna Get Smoked"
Transcript
- 0:03So Chris Christy has dropped out of the Republican primary. It's not surprising.
- 0:07He was doing very poorly and really, how much did it seem like he
- 0:11was running for president rather than just there to attack Trump for establishment forces?
- 0:18But in any case, he's dropped out. But that's not all. He's
- 0:21also been caught on a hot mic he said that Nikki Haley is gonna get
- 0:26smoked and that DeSantis is apparently petrified over Iowa. Well, gonna get smoked.
- 0:33That's not a big surprise. I mean, everybody's gonna get smoked.
- 0:36Trump is way in the lead. But we'll get to the polls in a
- 0:39second. But let's just listen to this audio first. But they don't want
- 0:44to hear it, and there's you know, we couldn't have been any clearer,
- 0:48We couldn't have been any more any more, director worked any harder.
- 0:51So you know, yeah, China, any places like that. Yeah,
- 0:59that's what you get. Yeah, yeah, I mean, look, she
- 1:00spent sixty eight million so far just on TV, spent sixty eight million so
- 1:04far, fifty nine million by DeSantis, and we spent twelve. I mean,
- 1:10who's punching above their weight and who's getting a return on their investment,
- 1:12you know, and she's gonna get smoked. And you and I both know
- 1:15it. She's not up to this. And she's still twenty points behind Trump
- 1:19and the main sure, right, yeah, oh yeah, and he's still
- 1:22going to carry out Yes, oh he's I talked to DeSantis called me petrified
- 1:29that I would be probably getting out of half or well. So, I
- 1:32mean, there's nothing really very surprising there. I didn't know that Nikki Hayley
- 1:36had spent sixty eight million dollars just on TV. That's an enormous amount of
- 1:42money. And yeah, she is gonna get smoked. Let's take a look
- 1:47at the poles there. We have the national polls. You've got Trump at
- 1:51sixty one point three percent. DeSantis is the next one down twelve point five
- 1:55percent. And that is really a story. They need to make a movie
- 1:59about that. I mean, he started out like thirty five. You can
- 2:01see Dysantis. It just got worse and worse and worse. And I have
- 2:07to say, what a downfall, because I mean DeSantis, I think everybody
- 2:12agrees he did a pretty great job. He's done a pretty great job in
- 2:15Florida, and he really stuck his neck out during COVID, and he had
- 2:20to take all the slings and arrows of the media and calling him a dictator.
- 2:23And they really went after him hard because they thought he was going to
- 2:28be new Trump. And I think that he thought he was going to be
- 2:30new Trump. But as you can say, just through bad campaigning, bad
- 2:36campaign management. Yeah, he's gone down to twelve percent. And Trump was
- 2:43going to win the primary the whole time. Anyway, it doesn't matter.
- 2:46I'm just very surprised by how much his campaign imploded on itself. But in
- 2:51any case, that Haley is lower, Nikki Haley is lower eleven point five
- 2:54percent, and according to Christy DeSantis spent fifty nine million as post to her
- 3:00sixty eight million, so he still got bigger bang for his buck than she
- 3:04did. And then you see Ramaswami, who I really like. I mean,
- 3:07he's been on fire lately. You've seen any of those clips. I
- 3:10really don't hear anything not to like about him. I know a lot of
- 3:15people don't trust him, he's so new, but he has absolutely been spitting
- 3:19fire and I've been enjoying it personally. But all that said, I mean,
- 3:23look, Trump's so far ahead, it's insurmountable. Let's go to Iowa.
- 3:27That's on Monday. Trump at fifty one point eight percent. DeSantis is
- 3:30the next down at seventeen point two. Haley's below him again the sixteen point
- 3:35eight. So you know, everything that we heard from Christy there, I
- 3:38mean, it's not actually surprising. I mean, whether DeSantis is petrified,
- 3:43as Christy put it, I mean, either way, I'm sure he can
- 3:46see the riding on the wall. And so what is this all about?
- 3:50You know, the sixty eight million from Haley, the fifty eight million from
- 3:53Dsantis? You know, is it just that's that chance that Trump isn't on
- 3:59the ballot. I think that has to be it. I think he is
- 4:01going to be on the ballot. It looks to me like the attempts to
- 4:04take him off are going to fail. But I guess you know, you're
- 4:09telling me there's still a chance, right, But yeah, it sure looks
- 4:13like everybody's gonna get smoked by Trump. So it makes you wonder what is
- 4:17the point. I mean, sixty eight million dollars for Haley. I mean,
- 4:21there's nothing like new or appealing to the modern conservative there. I mean,
- 4:27what does she think they want? More war? You know with DeSantis,
- 4:30you know, at least despite his campaign shortcomings, like he's on side
- 4:36with like immigration, crime, anti woke in the schools, in the schools
- 4:41and out. You know, he's he's not Democrat light. He's not uniparty,
- 4:45not as far as I can see. If you disagree, tell me
- 4:47in the comments. Maybe I'm wrong, but you know, sixty eight million
- 4:50dollars for Nickie Haley, but there is no chance unless Trump is prevented from
- 4:57running, which again it doesn't look like that's going to happen. I mean,
- 5:00somebody really wants an establishment, an old style establishment, a Republican to
- 5:08be the candidate, a Republican who is probably going to just be Democrat light,
- 5:14same policies, just a little bit slower. And it makes me wonder
- 5:17how much campaigning is just an industry in itself. All those millions of dollars
- 5:23are ultimately going to somebody, and what for. I mean, if you
- 5:27just take away you know, maneuvering behind the scenes. You know, the
- 5:30candidate raises their profile and a lot of people then have them to thank for
- 5:36making a lot of money. Sixty eight million, that's a lot of money.
- 5:40That's a lot to go around and you don't need to win, You
- 5:43just pretty much need to exist just to be, you know, the crucial
- 5:46cog in the machinery. Now, to end this off, I guess we
- 5:50have to put in the caveat that all predictions about what's going to happen in
- 5:56the primary and in the general election could all get thrown out if something happens
- 6:01to Trump. And I have to say, I worry about Trump's health.
- 6:05I think there's a lot of people Steve Bannon's been talking about this. I
- 6:10worry about him because so far they have thrown literally everything the kitchen sink at
- 6:16the man to try and get rid of him. And I have to wonder
- 6:20what kind of you know, say, further contingencies that might be considered.
- 6:26Anyway, That's all I'm going to say about that. Please subscribe, like
- 6:29and share, share. It really helps me out. I thank you for
- 6:31that. I will see you next time.
