Center going to be with you in person this week for everyone listening we do one of our

shows a week usually on video so you can watch this on YouTube or on X or on Facebook

make sure you follow us there make sure you follow us on YouTube and you can watch this episode as well.

I want to get in first into the big news as we got here to film this.

Rondis not only did he drop out but he's endorsed Donald Trump for president.

Your initial reaction to that is that the right decision, the right time to do it early on.

Well listen, it is big news, I will say it's not surprising you and I talked about this

in our pod last week as you know last week I endorsed Donald Trump immediately

following the Iowa caucus and and the reason I did that is the results of the Iowa Caucus were clear, they were decisive,

and what I said that next day is this primary is over.

Donald Trump will be the Republican nominee.

I thought that was clear from the results of Iowa.

Desantis, it was clear that Desantis was going to drop out. We didn't know that it would

necessarily be on Sunday, but we knew it would be soon. He did not have a path going forward. He did not have a path to victory. He recognized that once you don't have a path to victory I think the right thing to do is to drop out. That's what he did. At this point it is a

two-person race between Trump and Nicki Haley and we've got the New Hampshire

primary coming up right now. As I said, I think this primary is over, but

New Hampshire might represent a speed bump. New Hampshire, over history, has at times been contrary.

Haley and Donald Trump are polling basically neck and neck in

in New Hampshire.

I think it is entirely possible we see a close outcome in New Hampshire.

I don't think it is impossible that Nicky Haley wins New Hampshire.

She's within two points of him right now.
