through the same lens he viewed desantis through the summer. desantis had stumbles, blew a lot of money in iowa when people weren't paying attention and now nikki haley is in contention for the strong second. you know what this reminds me of? i think you ain't seen nothing yet. if you remember we covered the 2000 election with jamesohn mcc and he was accused of the same things that nikki haley is, not a real republican. it wasn't until he won new hampshire that the knives came out. and that was before trump era politics. we're already hearing that more now. on immigration, it's racially tinged. if she wins new hampshire get ready for this to get very ugly. >> again, she's right now not going there with how she's spending her money. and she is spending a lot of money. let's look at what we are seeing

she came to mar-a-lago to see me to inform me that she'll never run. >> what does that tell you? >> it tells us a few things, trump is engaging in the same attack line that ron desantis is, which is that haley is in the pocket of her donors . that's the argument that ron desantis has made, vivek ramaswamy has made and now trump has made. and the clip you just played underscores the multiple attack routes trump sees she's can't be trusted. she's in the pocket of democratic and republican leaning donors and in the end she's not the trumpian republican she may have portrayed herself as a member of trump's administration. overall it tells us where the campaign kicked off, ron desantis was seen as the clear and present danger to the trump team. now that's haley. >> when it comes to haley, you
