all Republicans. Does he? Did you think that Tim Scott sounded different from all Republicans? Because I didn't get that at all. I got that it was right down the middle. It's the most Republican speech ever because he was saying the wokeness, don't worry about it, everybody's got a chance, everybody can succeed in this country. I didn't think it was even a little bit outside the mainstream. It was…

One of the things that I find interesting is that whoever gets to do the rebuttal, it means that the party has decided that this is somebody who's going to get a little attention. And as I watch the 2024 race start to come together, I feel like we're going to see another repeat of 2016 in one sense. Am I wrong that there are a lot of Republicans that are really qualified to be president? Let me just list them. Ron DeSantis, could he be qualified to be president? Could he win? I think he could. Tim Scott, is he qualified? Could he win the presidency? Yes, I think he could. Ted Cruz, a little bit harder because he's a little more provocative. The left has a little more problem with him. But could he get nominated? Yes. Does he have all the qualifications for a president? Yes, he absolutely does.
Name some other names. Did I say Tom Cotton? Chris Christie, I think he's got a little more baggage, so to speak. But remember when Trump was running, one of the biggest comments was there are a lot of Republicans that are looking pretty solid. Pompeo, right? Yeah, Mike Pompeo, solid. Nikki Haley gets a little more controversial. Kristi Noem, a little more controversial. But certainly the Republicans have a strong field. So I'd be a little bit worried.
I hear I see Trey Gowdy being mentioned, but I don't know that he wants to run for the office. By the way, if Trey Gowdy ever ran for president, is there any chance he would lose? Because there's nobody on the Republican side that I can think of who's even close to his level of skill. I just don't know that he's interested in the job. Richard Grenell, another good, another good obvious candidate who has all the qualifications for president.
Imagine this, just for fun. Imagine that the Republicans just say we just want to win. And all they do, the Republicans, all they do is they just say what is it going to take to

win and we're just going to do that. Win, win, win is all we want. Who would they run? Let me give you a proposal. So this is not my suggestion of who should be president, just a mental exercise. Imagine a ticket of Tim Scott and Richard Grenell. Yeah, does that ticket lose? How would they ever lose? Seriously. You put one of the most successful gay open politicians as vice president, which is pro…
