'22 i won the biggest republican victory in the history of the state in a governor's race 20 point victory. i had polls saying i was going to win by two, three, or four points. they were way off. ultimately it's the people that decide these not the polls. i can tell you this. if iowans come out and vote and caucus for me if large numbers like we're building the operation to do that, those national polls will change. you have the power to change those, and i would say this. if you're an iowa conservative, who best represents your values of anybody running? i've delivered for conservatives more than anybody that's running. of all the things i promised i delivered on a hundred percent of my promises. you talk about some of the big fights we've been able to win in florida, illegal imgriggs, banning sanctuary cities, talking about eliminating things like esg, which is a very pernicious thing these corporations were doing. we eliminated dei from our universities, we have tenured
