Look at that, it should be a lot more than a green check mark, huh? Fireworks should be going off around that 51% of the vote for Donald Trump vanquishing. I mean, totally destroying his opponents. Now there are many, many, many reasons for that. And one of them is this guy. You want to say something, come on, go up, say something. Well, I'll tell you, I had to actually do a TV interview bragging about you. The reason why I was late was because of that, but is he awesome or what? I am honored to be the first person in the United States to endorse this guy. The next president, the 47th president of the United States, Donald J. Trump. It was a great moment. One of the very first people Donald Trump acknowledged after that amazing victory was our next guest. You just saw him right there, State Senator Brad Zahn, Republican of Iowa. Welcome, sir. And I think we got to get you into the US Senate, not just the State Senate. How are you? I'm doing great. It's an honor to be on your program, Greg. Well many thanks. And look, I was, you know, at first I couldn't tell, wait, wait, wait, is this, yes. You were the first, the first office holder to endorse in 2015. You did it, I think, in October, is that right? I can't recall the exact time. Basically it was 2016, was the year that he was running the first time and just, you know, he called me and asked me if he, that I would, you know, endorse him and I had to meet with him and ask him a few questions before that happened. But he obviously answered all the questions that I thought were important to me. And I just love him because he's tough and he's a successful businessman and I was so proud to be able to, you know, endorse him at that time. I'm proud to endorse him this time. And he's become a good friend and I just, you know, like I've had many conversations with him. I want him to make America great again. I love it. Now again, when you made that endorsement, no other office holder, no other Republican office, everybody was still trying to figure out who is this guy. They wanted them to go away. He wasn't going away. You're the very first one. How much heat did you get from the Republican Party for doing what you did? Well, I think, yeah, I did get some heat. I still get a lot. I got a lot of hate mail today, but it's overwhelming. People were very interested in him. He was someone different. You know, when I first started going to those rallies, what really was amazing to me is there was so many new people that have never been a part of the process, a lot of blue collar people. And there was something special there. And he's the person that just tells it the way it is. And I think that was refreshing because we just don't have anybody. I don't know that there's anybody in the United States that can do what he does and put up with what he puts up with. It is amazing to watch. And I agree with you. So you spoke about him last night after that amazing victory, and he spoke about you. Let's take a look at that. But we have really the support of the people of Iowa, which has been just incredible. Another man who was actually the first person to endorse me in the entire country. He's a state senator. His name is Brad Zahn. He looks like he's the most handsome guy, I think. Oh, you made it. He had a drive from his caucus location. You made it. I call him the Marlboro Man. And when he says endorsed, we're really talking about 2015. He endorsed me before, actually, long before I knew I was going to run. I said, who's this man in Iowa? He's a senator, a state senator. He's a good looking guy, too. Doesn't he look you could pay him and give him a lot of money? Great stuff. I don't agree with that. I'm going to be blind or have some eyesight problems. Were you surprised at all by the margin of victory? I was with the president earlier in the day, and he was trying to get up with some kind of prediction. I knew that it was going to be a record, and obviously it was a big record. I wasn't really surprised. I mean, people, there's something special about him. Humans are common sense people, and he just really touched the cord with so many people here. He did spend a lot of time here. I can tell you that the organization, from a ground perspective, was night and day compared to what it was four years ago. So kudos to all the people that were on the ground here in the state of Iowa, and most importantly to all the Iowans that came out in a cold, snowy night to support him. All right, you can read Iowa, you can caucus with the best of them. You know that state. State Senator Brad Zahn, have you thought about higher office, and have you thought about joining a Trump cabinet? If there is one, I think there's going to be. Why not? What are you thinking? I told him no. I'm not interested. I don't want to live in the swamp. I don't want to live in Washington, D.C. I'm certainly very honored to be a state senator from Iowa and the president pro tem. We've done a lot of great things in the state of Iowa, and that's what I want to continue to do. Can I see the video of you on stage last night? One more time. We're going to roll that, and I do have a question as we look at that. Did you get a haircut? Did you get a haircut since then? No, I haven't got a haircut. It's just that lighting probably makes me look bad, but no, I haven't got a haircut already. I know, I tell you, I was wearing a cowboy hat the day before because he calls me the Marlboro Man, and I showed up at one of the rallies dressed as a Marlboro Man. Great stuff. Great stuff. Well, state senator Brad Zahn, Republican of Iowa there, District 22. That's just north of Des Moines, right? That is correct. The northwest suburbs and the northern part of the city of Des Moines. All right. Continue success, and be seeing you. Who knows where? I have a feeling you're going to be on Team Trump in Washington. We'll see. Thank you, sir. We'll see. Thank you. We'll see you later. Be right back. Thank you.
