n that? I don't think it was a rejection of DeSantis. It was not a rejection of Haley and it was not a rejection of Vivek. It's just they really, really, really like Trump. They really like him a lot and they want the revenge and they want their safety and they want their fighter who's going to put it all on the line. So I do not begrudge them their choice whatsoever. I think the fine people of Iowa chose well. Good job, Iowa. Good job, Iowa.

They have, however, found a way to throw a match on the biggest pile of gasoline we've ever seen in our lifetimes. So things are going to get real interesting. But I'm here for it.

Well, so Vivek says he's suspending his campaign. Is that the same thing as ending a campaign? Is suspending a campaign just simply what people always say, you know, just in case there might be some legal technicalities to why you say it that way? But I don't think we can ignore that the election is a long way away and Trump has a whole bunch of risks. So I do think that the reason that DeSantis and Nikki Haley are still in the race is because they'd like to just hang around a little bit longer to be the backup emergency spare.

Now Vivek, by immediately ending his campaign, by the way was that the perfect time to end it? Can you agree with me that the way Vivek played it was perfect? It was perfect. It was the exact situation. It was the exact time to do it. Waiting would have been a bad look, very bad look. Do it right away. Do it decisively. Do it clearly and cleanly. Tell, you know, say what you're going to do, which he did. He's going to help Trump. And perfect. I could not be happier sharing a country with Vivek with that kind of performance.

But here's the thing that I don't think anybody has quite figured out yet. Do you think the Democrats have figured out that they just weaponized Vivek? Vivek talking on behalf of Trump is pretty powerful stuff. Do you know what they just did? They just combined the two strongest forces possibly in the history of the Republican Party: the strongest force of nature with the smartest politician we've ever seen. And they're on the same side completely. Did they see that coming? I don't think people see this coming.

I think the thing that Vivek can add is he'll go on the show that won't invite Trump. You see the danger here? Because the CNNs and the MSNBCs are going to be hungry for content but they can't really invite Trump and they don't like to bring his lying pundits on because they don't like lying pundits according to them, you know what they determine to be a lie. But you know what Vivek doesn't do? He doesn't lie. Vivek has found a way to tell the Republican narrative without the need for any lies because there was never a need for any lies. It was never necessary. He was just the one smart enough to figure out it wasn't necessary to lie. You could do the whole story with any lies, right? The hyperbole certainly helps when you're persuading but you don't need it. It wasn't essential. He showed you that.

So this allows a way for the Trump-type message, which I would argue, I'm going to agree with Trump, it's not his message. He's basically trying to capture the American core feeling and try to expand it I guess. But you put Vivek on MSNBC, that's going to be fun stuff. And I don't think they cannot invite him because they can't say he's lying. Am I right? Have you ever heard them say that? Has MSNBC or CNN ever accused him of lying? They have not.

And now they've established that the reason for not letting Trump on, we'll talk about that in a minute, is that they don't want to show his lies. What are you going to say about Vivek? Yeah, they've got a lot of air time to fill. I think Vivek's going to be busy. In my view the only cure for Trump is Vivek. He's the only cure for TDS because he can give it to you the way that won't make you flip out when you hear it. This really changes everything. This changes everything.

And I don't know that the Democrats see what's coming yet because I don't think anybody in the Democrat Party has really followed Vivek. I mean a lot of Republicans didn't, which is part of the problem. They have no idea what's coming and this is going to be fun.

All right. And how did Trump take it when Vivek gracefully conceded? He immediately truthed back, "Thank you Vivek, a great honor." Did anybody have any concern that they wouldn't be good friends when this was over? I mean at least in terms of being on the same side? No. Do you know why? Because that's what they are. Trump is a fighter and then when you join his side you're done fighting. That's it. There's no grudge. Now you're done fighting. Now we move on. And they're both that person. Now they're done fighting. So good for them. That's how to show it.

Adam Townsend who was backing Vivek had this comment today. He said if you didn't learn something about yourself from watching Vivek these past few weeks, I don't know what to tell you. And then he says something
