We're, uh, adjusting and, uh, making do and excited about, uh, people turning out for the caucus next Monday and given the weather that may keep people home, how do you motivate people to come out and caucus for you? Uh It's simply because of the importance of the caucus and the vote here in Iowa. This sets the stage for uh the national campaign for what happens in Super Tuesday evening evening. And so it's very important that the caucus goers actually get out and you wanna be safe and I think there'll be some that actually won't go because of that and they'll have transportation issues. And so it'll be ***, perhaps *** smaller turnout. But I know that there's, there's thousands that are very dedicated that wanna go out there and express themselves and uh change the direction of this uh election and, uh in our country. Now, you have told some of my colleagues in recent interviews that you expect *** surprise on caucus night and what would, what would *** strong or win on caucus night look like for you? Well, of course, you look at, uh, my campaign, uh I've been here campaigning in Iowa for one year since last January, the legislative breakfast. I've been on the, in the farms. I've been in the ethanol plants. I've been in the factories here and I've actually fallen in love with Iowa. And so, uh, we've got to exceed expectations and, uh, people have counted us out, but there's eight other candidates that have dropped out of the race. I'm still in it. Uh, and I know that we've got, uh *** lot of support that's out there. We want them to show up what it means to me is to exceed expectations. I know the media will define that, but they've counted us out. And so, uh we're in the final five and uh we wanna take it out of here uh to go on to New Hampshire and beyond that. Well to the people of Iowa. First of all, I love the state. I love the response that you've given to me. And I have *** lot in common with Iowa. I grew up in *** farm. I learned how to clean out chicken houses and the importance of faith and community and family. And to me that's what uh Iowa is. I was the governor of an AG state and uh not uh the candidates can say that. And so I have some uniqueness about uh my approach to this campaign and because of that, uh I want to make sure that we can accomplish what you're concerned about securing the border making sure we address the fentaNYL crisis, making sure that we can balance the budget in our country. And I'm the only candidate that's actually had the raw experience of being responsible for border security uh for as head of the DEA I was responsible for uh drug prosecutions in this country and also the treatment and the education that goes along with that. And as *** governor, I balanced the budget for eight years, lowered taxes and left *** $2 billion surplus. That's *** good conservative record, uh, signed over 30 pro life bills in the state, protected women's sports. That's the kind of leadership you want in Washington DC, I'm gonna make our economy get back on track. We're going to make sure that we protect our border because I've done that and know what needs to be done. And so Iowans, uh please go into the caucus and make sure you vote for the candidate you believe will be the best president of the United States that will lead our country in the right direction. I'm an optimist about this country and it starts right here in Iowa. We can fix things. I've done it, we can do it again. Thank you.
