In an email to staff obtained by Politico, Americans for Prosperity CEO, Emily Seidel, said that the group's political arm, AFP Action, had to quote, take stock of its spending priorities after Haley's loss in the South Carolina primary. The Koch brother aligned, although it's

[00:01:40] against one of the brothers is dead. So it's just the Koch

[00:01:43] family, the Kochs. They will now focus its efforts on

[00:02:48] But given the challenges in the primary states ahead, we don't believe any outside group can make a material difference to widen her path to victory.

[00:02:50] There's no way.

[00:02:57] And it took South Carolina's 20-point drubbing to convince you of that. Again, I am not making predictions.

[00:03:00] But if I was in the business of making predictions, I think I would be, I don't know, either better at it or retiring. Carolina's senior advisor for primary pivot Super PAC primary pivot Super PAC Explain the messaging behind that and the purpose behind that messaging. Yes, our whole purpose is to preserve and protect our Democracy and we want to do that by any means necessary

[00:04:21] So if that means that you're a Democrat or an independent that's never voted in the Republican primary

[00:05:26] Like I can see if she won being so happy then you start dancing but dancing beforehand seems weird because everybody kind of knew she was Gonna lose it was just a question of by how much anyway

[00:05:29] I thought this was interesting that Tiffany James says that they are there to protect the democracy

[00:05:35] by any means necessary

[00:05:38] Which seems weird?

[00:05:40] Because that leaves a whole bunch of things of a whole bunch of strategies and tactics out there available to you

[00:05:46] That don't actually protect on Saturday, right? Talking about how we all No, don't be crazy. We're not voting for Dean Phillips. In our primary, he's not even on the ballots. Come on. She says that the democracy is at stake, of course. She's a South Carolina organizer for Primary Pivot, a national super PAC whose goal is to persuade Democrats to vote in open primaries for Nikki Haley.

[00:08:24] Quote, we need to make the best decisions and put our votes strategically towards someone because being prepared is just smart.

She said she's not gonna drop out of the race. She's gonna push through into Super Tuesday. But she also said that people and the media need to start taking her seriously. When you were on the ground working with primary pivots, what were

[00:11:00] you hearing from Democrats and independents? How were not favorable of it, but after we talked to Democrats about our the White House. He still says, he did an interview with Fox News' Brett Baer. He talked about how the election was stolen. He actually won that

[00:13:42] election. That's what he said, that he won the election. Okay, why did he leave? That is not like that's the worst tyrant ever. Also, he didn't kill millions of people. So there's that right. So if he's if he's literally Hitler, I failed to see how he is measuring up to that standard. You know, the guy is he's not even FDR.

[00:15:01] He's not even running for multiple terms.

[00:15:06] I heard somebody call in.

[00:17:43] for them electorally right the reason and then the electors out of the Electoral College are allocated based on

[00:19:01] those results. That's it. And that's the nominee. Look, you know me, I don't really care about all of these individual polls like this.

[00:20:20] People find the polls they want to advance whatever narrative and story they want to

[00:20:23] tell. not to vote in the Republican contest. Later in the piece they go on to say, ultimately any delay in seizing the nomination stands to hurt Trump and the RNC financially. Any delay. So this is, I mentioned this last week I think, we were talking a little bit about this where there are certain efficiencies that

[00:21:42] the candidate gets and the party gets

[00:21:45] if they're declared to be the nominee. profile Democrat donors, including LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman and tech investor Matt Kohler. Haley's campaign reported raising more than $17 million last quarter with $14 million left over to spend in the coming months. That is a healthy sum that gives her breathing room to stay in the race beyond South Carolina and to make more trouble for Donald Trump. This is the

[00:23:04] challenge. This is why she's the problem. They're not going to get that from the Democrat side, right? Democrats are

[00:24:21] not going to entertain anybody other than Joe Biden unless Joe Biden dies or steps aside So, for the love of me, oh, this is, okay, so this is from the podcast, podcast pro newsletter. And I just happened to see this too. Between February 2020 and September 2023, so this would have been right in the heart

[00:25:40] of COVID, right?

[00:25:42] February 2020. reported that in the past four years, significant funds have been spent on producing podcasts abroad that contribute financial aid to foreign nations. I'm as shocked as you are. Yeah, I am as shocked as you are. Um, so okay, so eight and a half million dollars. I should probably do the math very, very low. The cost is very low now. It's not 8.5 million, unless you're working for Govco. It's not, like you can do it very, very cheaply. You can get yourself a board, a mixing board, right?

[00:28:21] Laptop, you don't even need all that.

[00:28:23] You could actually just do it on your phone.

[00:28:25] I mean, it's gonna sound like you just did it starts slowing down. Should I ask you, have you podfaded, John Moore? How many podcasts do you guys crank it out? Oh my goodness. I guess I faded off of one when I got invited to another. So I let the other one fade. The newest one, I think we're up to about 70 so far, 70 pods. Episodes. Episodes.

[00:29:40] Oh, yeah, episodes.

[00:29:40] You've got to learn the language, dude.

[00:29:43] Pods.

[00:29:44] Episodes.

[00:29:44] What are these, like, K-cup coffees or something? There's a high altitude hot air balloon or an HAHA balloon of unknown origin as they call it. So this is a high altitude hot air balloon of unknown origin. That's benign, likely benign. So a ha ha bualb is what that's what I call it because I you know it's a high out to HAHA

[00:31:06] BUOB.

[00:31:07] All right that'll do it for this episode.
