Breaking down the Hawkeye Caucii, lawfare faltering, United DEI and Deep Thoughts

Today we spend a good amount of time recapping and discussing yesterday's start of the Presidential primary season with the Hawkeye Caucii. In the discussion, I look at how CNN and MSNBC chose to cover the speech given by the winner, President Donald Trump. I also breakdown how this plays out for Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), Nikki Haley and Vivek Ramaswamy. In fact, I spend a little time on Vivek and then on his concessions speech followed by his decision to support Trump going forward. In the meantime, DeSantis put all his eggs in the Iowa basket and came in a distant second place to the record setting margin of victory garnered by Trump. Trump had more votes than all of the other candidates combined, taking 51%. Governor DeSantis ended with 21%, Nikki Haley with 19% and Vivek Ramaswamy with just under 8%. Let's see how this plays out next week in the New Hampshire primary, which is much more liberal and supportive of the neo-liberal Haley. Of note, a CNN entry poll found that 68% of caucus goers believe the 2020 election of Joe Biden was not legitimate. Maybe that accounts for why so many decided to support Trump. Not only is the country floundering under poor leadership, but now over 2/3 believe Biden and the Democrats cheated to gain the White House. This leads to a discussion brought on by a piece by Victor Davis Hanson on Lawfare and if it may be finally running out of gas. We know there are four different prosecutors vying to be the first to get a conviction of Donald Trump. Of them all, the strongest case appeared to be the Big Fani Willis RICO case in Georgia. Over the last two weeks, that case has suddenly become nothing more substantive than a poorly produced reality TV show. The Alvin Bragg case is an utter joke, especially when compared to the actions Hillary Clinton took before Trump's supposed "hush" payment. The Letitia James "fraud" case in New York City is beyond Laughable. And, as to Jack Smith's cases, one would think if you are going to prove "insurrection," maybe you would have started with charging Trump with that crime! And, as to the classified documents case, Trump would end up being the first and only president in modern history to be tried over a dispute with an employee at the National Archives. As we wind down, I have a sound bite from the CEO of United Airlines, Scott Kirby, and his commitment to hiring more pilots who are women and people of color. Then, as comedian and actor Rob Schneider asks in his routine, "You're going to hire based on diversity and not on the best pilots you can find?" Which leads to the most powerful DEI hire thus far in our history. For the first time in 2024, we bring you another episode of Deep Thoughts with VP Kamala Harris. And, as I always remind you, she is just one heartbeat away from sitting behind the big desk in the Oval Office. Take a moment to rate and review the show and then share the episode on social media.
