Deep dives
Nikki Haley comes in third in Iowa, while DeSantis places second
In the Iowa primary, Nikki Haley surprisingly came in third place, while Ron DeSantis secured second place. This outcome is notable as Haley was expected to perform better, but DeSantis managed to edge her out. The primary results highlight the continued influence and popularity of both candidates within the Republican Party, potentially setting the stage for a competitive race moving forward.
Exit polls reveal significant belief in election fraud
Exit polls from the primary show that a significant number of Republican voters, about two-thirds, believe that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from Donald Trump. This belief in election fraud is particularly high among GOP voters. On the other hand, exit polls also indicate that a majority of Democratic voters, about 78%, believed that the 2016 election was not legitimate due to alleged election interference. These contrasting opinions highlight the deep divide and lack of trust in the election process across party lines.
Steve Baker exposes perjury in the Oath Keepers' trial
Investigative journalist Steve Baker has unveiled video evidence showing that a Capitol Police special agent, David Lazarus, committed perjury in the Oath Keepers' trial. Lazarus testified that he witnessed an antagonistic interaction between the Oath Keepers and Officer Harry Dunn during the January 6th incident. However, the video evidence clearly demonstrates that Lazarus was not present during the encounter and could not have witnessed it. This revelation raises questions about the credibility and integrity of testimonies provided in the trial, suggesting a possible miscarriage of justice.
Concerns raised over fairness of Capitol Police investigation
The Capitol Police's lack of investigation and response to the evidence of perjury in the Oath Keepers' trial and other irregularities has raised concerns about the fairness and integrity of the Capitol Police's handling of the January 6th incident. With the revelation of video evidence contradicting testimonies, the refusal to internally investigate these matters further erodes trust in the institution's commitment to upholding the truth. Congressional representatives, such as Representative Barry Loudermilk, have expressed plans to scrutinize these issues and conduct thorough investigations to ensure justice is served.
Donald Trump secures victory in primary and calls for party unity
Donald Trump emerged as the winner in the recent primary, garnering a commanding victory. In his acceptance speech, he graciously mentioned all the candidates and stressed the need for party unity. While he refrained from being overly critical, he did express his belief that the current president is the worst in history and is destroying the country.
Potential VP picks for Donald Trump
As speculation grows about the potential vice presidential pick for Donald Trump, several names have emerged. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, former press secretary and current governor, is a frontrunner due to her loyalty to Trump, mastery of defending his policies, and popularity among evangelicals. Other potential contenders include Tucker Carlson, though he may not be inclined to take on the role, and Kristi Noem, who has garnered praise as the governor of South Dakota.
Limited contest in the primary and Trump's perception as a victim
Despite initial expectations of a contested primary, Donald Trump's overwhelming victory has solidified his image as the uncontested candidate. Many voters feel that the election was unjustly taken from him, making him more deserving of a second chance. His advocacy for the little guy and the positive aspects of his previous presidency, such as lower grocery and gas bills, resonate with voters, further strengthening his position.
While Trump won the Iowa caucuses, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis took second place as former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley set her sights on New Hampshire. BlazeTV host Steve Deace joins to discuss the caucus results and the mainstream media calling the race minutes after the caucus started. Pat Gray joins Glenn and Stu to discuss the big winners from yesterday’s caucus and who Trump could pick for vice president. Blaze Media contributor and investigative journalist Steve Baker joins to share his updated groundbreaking reports on the events of January 6, exposing how Nancy Pelosi’s security detail chief may have committed perjury about the events of that day. Glenn and Stu discuss the mainstream media melting down at Trump’s win. Glenn breaks down what Americans are choosing in this upcoming election. Glenn discusses the issue with the WEF’s goal being "rebuilding trust." Stu goes through the latest polls and where the final three GOP candidates stand after the Iowa caucuses.
