And greetings. Happy Monday. Welcome to the Steve Day show here powered by Blaze tv, radio and podcast. I'm Steve Dace, he's Todd erzin, he's Aaron McIntyre. Want to thank the fine folks of North Dakota, particularly the North Dakota State GOP for letting me keynote their convention and then also the prayer breakfast on Sunday morning. Just hardy folk. Really enjoyed our time up there this weekend. And you guys were, Amy and I were very, very thankful. You guys were very, very kind to us and very hospitable. North Dakota, nice even. So thank you guys for the opportunity. In fact, on today's show, what I ended up speaking to that convention about, I think has such broad application on a national level for conservatives that I'm going to share my bullet points from that talk with the audience coming up here at the top of the next hour and let you, and let Todd and Aaron react to these bullet points as well. Topic of my talk is how now shall we lead? Right. And so the North Dakota GOP has done what, you know, audiences like ours have wanted for years, which is why don't, this is an overwhelmingly Republican state. Why don't the conservatives take over the party, right. And run it ourselves rather than letting you know, basically people that are just don't want to be Democrats because they'd never get elected, come in and take over and tell us what we're going to do and move us to the left. Right? Okay. Well, that's what they did. Right. So credit for that. But now they have to run the thing, right? They gotta, they gotta manage the thing that they've captured. Can they, can we lead? Can we govern on this? And so going to go through those bullet points with you guys coming up in the next hour of the show. Also in the next hour of the show, our friend and colleague Steve Baker is going to be here with us. And I, and I, and I say this with all sincerity, as much as I love Steve Baker, I really want him to be wrong. But Steve is pretty confident we did not arrest the right person in the infamous DC J6 pipe bomber case. And he's going to lay out for us why he thinks that is the case. Coming up in the final segment of the show. All right, we have our first poll. So over the weekend, the family leader put together a scientific poll. Actually, no, it was last week. And then they had the memo put together. Over the weekend, we have our first scientific poll of the Iowa caucuses. And all the family leader asked about were Vance and Rubio, because those are the only two candidates that anybody's really talking about right now. The CPAC poll happened over the weekend. Don't know if you guys saw that. And I saw conflicting things. You know, I mean, I saw some speakers where there was no one in the crowd. I saw some speakers where it was standing room only. So I have, I don't know how many people were there. What I did see is JD Vance was leading pretty comfortably, but Marco Rubio had made up a lot of ground. Now, he was well into the 30s and nobody else really mattered at that point. So we're going to share some of those debate, I'm sorry, some of those polling details with you when Bob Vander Plots joins us here at the bottom of the hour and give you guys an update on kind of what the mood is here in the first in the Nation caucus state. But before we get to all of that, of course, let's lead off as we always do with Aaron's rundown of what happened while we were away.
