Summary
First, they dissect former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's decision to suspend his 2024 presidential campaign but not endorse anyone else and trash Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley in addition to Donald Trump.
They also cringe as the December inflation numbers come in higher than expected and the year-over-year numbers are still unhealthy.
Then they analyze the final GOP primary debate as DeSantis and Haley hammer each other instead of President Biden or even their own party's frontrunner.
Finally, they note the end of a coaching era in pro and college football.

| 0:35.0 | also deals with the Republican field in 2024 |
| 0:39.0 | because there had been a pretty steadily growing chorus, really across the political spectrum, |
| 0:46.8 | that Chris Christie's time in this race had pretty much been done. |
| 0:50.6 | People were going anywhere from, yeah, you're all, if your real goal is to get rid of |
| 0:56.3 | Donald Trump, then you're actually hurting your cause here by staying in here and fragmenting |

| 1:04.2 | So yesterday at a town hall in New Hampshire, |
| 1:06.9 | Christie announced that he was in fact suspending his campaign. |
| 1:11.0 | He did not endorse anyone. In fact, he took quite a few shots at Trump and Haley and |
| 1:16.1 | DeSantis and then the thing that actually got more attention than his town hall |
| 1:19.8 | was the hot mic before the town hall in which he had not very nice things to say |
| 1:25.6 | about the other two candidates left in the race besides Donald Trump. |
