Theory:

When a T comes in between two consonants, we don't usually pronounce it.

You don'T Have to go - You Don hafta go. (no T)

If there is a vowel sound before the T and the next word also begins with T, the two T sounds join together to create one slightly stronger T.

iT Takes two to tango. - ITakes two to tango.

you were rIghT To be angry. - You were riTu be angry. ( The O becomes a SCHWA)

This is an example of twinning or gemination.
