00:11:14.000She won Washington DC, but not technically a state.
00:11:20.000So this would be her first state win so far out of everything.
00:11:27.000And then we're waiting on Utah, which polls don't close until a minute from now.
00:11:32.000Polls close in California an hour from now.
00:11:37.000And polls close in Alaska two hours from now.
00:11:40.000So I don't know how long the stream is gonna go, but certainly we will get a call from Utah and California.
00:11:46.000At least I think we'll be live for another hour.
00:11:50.000So that's the state of where we are tonight so far.
00:11:54.000Like I said, it's 854 delegates at stake tonight, but by the end of the night it'll be 1,151 will have been allocated.
00:12:05.000So it's about 300 have been determined so far in the entire race, and by the end of the night 854 more will have been secured.
00:12:20.000And so far tonight Donald Trump has won 80 delegates, Nikki Haley 0 so far, but she'll win some in Vermont.
00:12:28.000And Trump is leading her overall 353 to 43 for the nomination.
00:12:33.000So by the end of the night, you know, based on how this has been going so far, Trump is going to get very close to the nomination outright just after tonight's results.
00:12:47.000He won't get it outright tonight, but he will be very close.
00:14:39.000It's looking like it could be another tough night for Nikki Haley.
00:14:42.000And while she has been optimistic in defeat in recent weeks, tonight she's remaining behind closed doors.
00:14:48.000Ali Vitale covering the Haley campaign from her headquarters in South Carolina.
00:14:52.000So, Ali, we know we are not going to see Nikki Haley tonight.
00:14:55.000What are you hearing behind closed doors?
00:14:59.000Savannah, you don't get a starker contrast of the tale of two Republican candidates like you do between where Garrett is standing at Mar-a-Lago about to hear from former President Trump and where I'm standing outside of Haley campaign headquarters here on Daniel Island in South Carolina.
00:15:14.000We were told that Haley would be taking in these results somewhere in the Charleston area, likely at her home on Keogh Island.
00:15:44.000Behind closed doors, her team have been quiet tonight.
00:15:48.000They are really focused, I think, on what their path ahead looks like, especially when the metrics that they've laid out here, Savannah, have been so vague.
00:15:56.000Haley herself has said she wants to stay in this race as an alternative to voters, and certainly I have heard that on the ground as I've been traveling to all of these Super Tuesday states alongside the former UN ambassador.
00:16:08.000But Haley has also said that she will stay in as long as she is competitive.
00:19:11.000It's an open primary, so independents, Democrats.
00:19:14.000Let's see what we're saying over here on Starkey Park.
00:19:20.000When you have infiltration of your cities, of your state, it becomes more difficult and more, what's the word I'm looking for, more risky for you to enter into business and keep your business in that state.
00:19:38.000And I think people are buckling down on the immigration issue and saying,
00:19:42.000I'm not going to own a bunch of land and subject my family and my farming to what's happening flowing across the border, especially in southern Arizona and southern Texas.
00:19:59.000Oh, I was just saying, so the New York Times dial, the infamous dial, has it at 85% for Haley to win, which is lame, but I was just looking at the town by town maps and a place I've noticed, we don't have results from every town yet, and a conspicuous place where there are no votes in yet is the town of Norwich and the town of Hartford.
00:20:18.000Those are the towns that are on the Vermont side of the Connecticut River opposite Dartmouth, which we talked all about how the town of Hanover, where Dartmouth is, was giving Haley all of her votes.
00:21:36.000But I'm not gonna grant him that just yet.
00:21:39.000But it seems like he might be super bad at having to put that out there.
00:21:58.000I think it could take a minute, but the Republicans there
00:22:19.000hate each other so much that it usually isn't the rise of another party, it's the weakening of the dominant party.
00:22:27.000And I think nothing weakens a party like a civil war.
00:22:29.000Can you talk, Chris, a little bit about what's going on right now with the Texas down ballot stuff?
00:22:33.000Yeah, I mean, the Texas Statehouse basically is a three-party operation.
00:22:37.000It's the Democratic Party and then the Republican Party is in two factions, which is basically the good old boys and the crazies.
00:22:42.000And basically the way the state works is that... They're both a little crazy.
00:22:45.000Yeah, I mean look, the good old boys are hardcore right wing, like ideologically, right?
00:22:49.000But there's a sort of, this kind of MAGA contingent that was even there before MAGA became MAGA, and has always been this sort of process where they have super majorities, but basically these contingents.
00:23:00.000And right now those two factions are in the most open war with each other they've ever been for a bunch of reasons, but largely because the Attorney General Ken Paxton was impeached by the Texas House and then acquitted by the Texas Senate.
00:23:11.000Now, after being acquitted, he and his allies are out for revenge!
00:23:35.000Well, there was early that it looked like it was over 50%, but now we're seeing some of these late votes coming in, and we don't have a good idea of what percentage has been counted, but it does look like
00:23:48.000A number of insurgent candidates that are on the Paxton side of that war have won, or are winning, they are getting over 50% very clearly.
00:23:58.000And then there's a bunch of drag-out races that have, some of them have 4 or 5 candidates in them, where it's under 50%, and because of that this thing is going to go to a runoff.
00:24:14.000She is now neck and neck with the person, but there's a third candidate in the race, so she's probably going to end up going to a runoff.
00:24:21.000You have the Dave Phelan race, so that one's likely going to a runoff unless there's more votes to be counted that we're not aware of.
00:24:28.000And that had a third person in the race, Alicia Davis.
00:24:31.000So, the one thing I'll point out, and this is good to pay attention to, is a lot of conservatives will get excited tonight going, yeah, we made it through the runoff, or yeah, we're showing them, but it's very likely or there could be a real possibility that the person that's the third person or fourth person that's in this race were recruited by the establishment with the intent to try to split the vote for the insurgent.
00:24:57.000Because they know how unpopular they are and this is a common tactic that's used by the by the establishment And there's a lot of Bush money that's floating around Texas, so I wouldn't put it past them.
00:25:07.000I don't know these candidates I'm not intimately involved with any of these races so that may not be true for every one of these races But I wouldn't be surprised if that is the case in some of these which means that the Conservatives are gonna have to work really really hard in the runoff to beat
00:25:53.000I would have liked for him to get a clean sweep here tonight, but New York Times, as Blake Neff said, the infamous needle gives her a 95 or greater percent chance of winning.
00:27:07.000We covered recently the South Carolina primary, and what has been true about all these races where Nikki Haley has done perhaps better than others is that it's all Democrats voting for her.
00:27:19.000In New Hampshire, it was all Democrats voting for her.
00:27:47.0002,000 votes cast, I think she won 600 of them.
00:27:53.000And now, her only real, I mean her only visible support on the entire map of the United States, which is pretty broad tonight, 15 states,
00:28:02.000Is Vermont, which is among the most liberal in the nation, and Northern Virginia, outside of the first or second most liberal city in America.
00:31:58.000Those people otherwise would be voting Democrat.
00:32:01.000So, Minnesota, we don't really, we're not going to know quite yet, because it's only 24% reporting, but it's 10,000 people have voted uncommitted.
00:32:12.00015, 14, 15% have voted uncommitted in Minnesota, probably out of Minneapolis and the surrounding area.
00:32:26.000I'm curious where most people have voted uncommitted.
00:32:33.000Looks like 20% voted uncommitted in this county north of Minnesota, or I'm sorry, Minneapolis.
00:32:40.000And looks like in Rice County, 23% south of Minneapolis.
00:32:49.000We don't have any results from Minneapolis itself yet, so that'll be interesting.
00:34:32.000And that's what's ultimately going to unify this country and unify
00:34:37.000This party we have a great Republican Party with tremendous talent and we want to have unity and we're going to have unity and it's going to happen very quickly and I have been saying lately success will bring unity to our country and it happened before we had the best economy our country's ever had
00:34:57.000And people were calling me that I would have said, will never happen.
00:35:02.000They wanted to get together African American, Asian American, Hispanic American, women, men, people with diplomas from the best schools in the world, and people that didn't graduate from high school.
00:36:56.000And we have no choice because November 5th, right around the corner, November 5th is going to go down as the single most important day in the history of our country.
00:37:26.000We're going to take it and we're going to make it like it should be.
00:40:25.000Credit like nobody, very few people have gotten.
00:40:27.000And the press was very honest about it.
00:40:29.000They give us very high marks on foreign policy, the Abraham Accords, so many different things we did.
00:40:35.000But we never got the kind of do that we should have for the COVID, or as I call it affectionately, the Chinese virus, the China virus, which is a much more accurate term.
00:50:58.000So a part of me said and a part of me thought well maybe she's counting on somehow Trump being removed from the ballot because that's the only plausible way that she gets to the head of the ticket is if Trump is disqualified in Colorado and there's a ripple effect nationwide if the Supreme Court made the wrong decision or if something horrible happened to him or who knows what kind of thing they could pull out but I think that
00:51:27.000Of course, the convention is in the summer.
00:51:36.000You know, four or five months from now.
00:51:40.000I wonder if maybe she was counting on some new development that we hadn't thought of knocking him out of the race, maybe being the Colorado challenge, and she had said before South Carolina, I'm not dropping out until the end of Super Tuesday.
00:53:08.000I am curious, though, about Minnesota.
00:53:10.000If you're just joining us, we talked about this just before Trump began speaking.
00:53:15.000There was a major protest vote in Michigan, in the Michigan primary last week, where over 100,000 Democrat voters voted for not committed in the Michigan primary.
00:54:12.000Now, it's not as big of a deal in Minnesota as it is in Michigan because Minnesota will not be as close as Michigan.
00:54:20.000Michigan, Trump is ahead in the polls Minnesota, Biden is ahead and Biden won by a big margin in Minnesota in 2020 so I don't think it will be competitive but it does speak to the widespread dissatisfaction with Biden that he is the incumbent president there isn't even a viable challenger but he's still he's losing 20% of the vote to nobody to nothing and it's not even the end of the night
00:54:51.000Although it looks like almost everything from Minneapolis is in, so I don't know how much more we'll see of that.
00:57:02.000I don't really feel like watching that.
00:57:05.000And so I think that's going to be either in so many words or even if not in so many words, the core message is actually that Donald Trump, not Joe Biden or not anybody else from the other side, is going to be the one who actually unites this country.
00:57:19.000And I think that that's something that our side needn't be shy about admitting that we want.
00:57:25.000I think most of us don't want a national divorce.
00:57:28.000I think most of us do want to live in one nation under God, just as our founding fathers envisioned 250 years ago.
00:57:36.000And so I think Donald Trump is going to be that kind of figure from now through election day.
00:58:08.000Revives that spirit of national unity in his own way.
00:58:16.000But I think that less of a shift, but more of an awakening of something that may have been less obvious to people who have watched him in the past, but I know is in his heart and I think is coming out more and more.
00:58:28.000And, you know, I do think that's the right way to go.
00:58:30.000And I am fully in support of that message all the way through the general election in November.
00:58:36.000So good night, and I'm glad you had me on for a few minutes, Benny, before we rock and rolled.
00:58:41.000But thanks for doing what you're doing.
00:58:45.000I know that you are a father to young children, and I don't want to keep you.
00:58:50.000I have to ask you one more, because ALX broke the news earlier in the call that Elon Musk was meeting potentially with Donald Trump, that both their jets landed the same place, and that they had a meeting.
00:59:02.000Now, you're very close with both these guys.
00:59:04.000And you've worked very closely with both these guys, and we've talked about Elon Musk publicly, and how valuable, obviously, the X platform is to free speech, but also for just the future of the country as a free nation.
00:59:26.000I mean, I'll be respectful of my conversations with both those guys and, you know, let's just take the big takeaways in terms of where we are right now.
00:59:35.000And, you know, you bring up two people who I think do embody a lot of that founding spirit.
00:59:40.000People who can achieve something with their own dedication.
00:59:43.000Okay, so we're just not getting an answer on that.
00:59:47.000Elon and Trump landed in the same place.
00:59:50.000So, you know, they're both like the founding.
01:00:33.000I don't mean because it's high-pitched, but the way he talks, it just sounds like how a baby, like a baby that's learning to speak, to like talk,
01:00:43.000it's kind of like uncontrolled it's like unrefined it's kind of like raw and it's like a lot of zoomers Todd they're like yeah it's like can't you uh can we control the pitch can we control the pitch a little bit i'm sure he's fine i'm sure he's a great very soon it's just funny and p to try to steal the election from
01:01:30.000Fallout New Vegas character creation right where they were gonna give whoever came in second place half the delegates or up to 50 to 60 60 delegates which could have made up for that candidate than losing Iowa and New Hampshire so blew the whistle on that and you know received credit and appreciation from President Trump for doing so so that was exciting.
01:01:53.000Yeah and it's just so cool with Colorado happening and all the work we did in Colorado with
01:01:59.000They're a disgraced Secretary of State.
01:03:34.000So people say, oh, you're orange, your hair's stupid, he looks fucking awesome, he looks hot.
01:03:41.000So you could either look like this when you're 70, just look like another boring white guy, just look like a lame old cracker, or you could look like this Aryan Chad, Hitler-esque, Caesar-esque, Mussolini moment, Napoleon, men who will define epochs,
01:04:05.000I said that from the very beginning, from 2016.
01:04:07.000If you, if you really pay attention, there's a distinct reason that Trump does this.
01:04:14.000Trump does the hair, he does the, you know, he knows that it, you know, maybe it looks a little goofy or whatever, but look at the alternative.
01:04:23.000The alternative is you look like this, you look like this, you look like this dork.
01:04:28.000There's like an interview that Trump did with Steve Forbes like 10 years ago.
01:06:10.000I swear I'm gonna vote for Donald Trump.
01:06:12.000It's so funny how liberals are like, you know, this retard is like,
01:06:31.000Well, the Trump voters are super loyal because last week they said Biden was too old, but Biden's the same age and 100% of them say that he's fit to... It's like, yes, we embrace the contradiction because we die for the man, Donald Trump, because we die for the personhood of Donald Trump and what he represents.
01:06:52.000But that's a contradiction, but you can't do that, but that's not logical.
01:07:41.000I was thinking, it was kind of like Dan Quayle, the vice president, who people thought, maybe he's not so smart.
01:07:48.000And then he misspelled potato, which was such a little, tiny thing.
01:07:51.000But when you get something that validates your own suspicions, when they see Joe Biden forget things, when they see, you know, him walking,
01:17:32.000Perhaps you left your TV on too long after the Super Bowl or the dial was locked at your favorite restaurant and no one could find the remote.
01:17:41.000Oh, the Olympics are going on right now, you probably said, between bites.
01:17:45.000Literally a Tucker Carlson impression.
01:17:59.000Even NBC admits their Olympic ratings are a pure, unmitigated disaster.
01:18:04.000The Hollywood Reporter notes that the first portion of the Winter Olympics have brought significant... It's literally a Tucker Carlson impression.
01:18:52.000So I don't have like, well, I do have kind of beef with Benny Johnson, but when he does these impressions, I mean, I'm just calling it like it is.
01:19:51.000I like ALX, but that's kind of a funny way to say it.
01:19:54.000There are three interesting dudes in the universe.
01:19:56.000Like, there are three interesting beings in the universe.
01:19:59.000It's like, sorry, who else is in the universe besides us?
01:20:04.000So there's Darth Vader, The Sandworms, Elon Musk.
01:20:11.000Like, what are you talking about in the universe?
01:20:14.000These are the most interesting beings in the universe.
01:20:17.000There's no one that is just, like, you know, more interesting than Elon or more interesting than Trump.
01:20:24.000And now, like, Vivek on the schedule with Vivek and his wife, whose name is Apoorva, and they have two children together, Melania and Donald Trump, appearing together.
01:20:33.000This also rare because Melania, Trump's mother, tragically passed away during this time period, and she'd been in the hospital a lot with her mother.
01:22:53.000What does that mean, if anything, to the Trump team and to Trump himself, who tends not to like losing?
01:22:58.000Is he going to call the vote rigged up there?
01:23:02.000Well, you kind of called it there, Terry, when you were talking about this just moments ago, that even though it's essentially been a clean sweep for Donald Trump, he certainly isn't going to like losing that state.
01:23:13.000Who knows, ultimately, what he will say about talking to sources close to Trump and those who were at least watching the vote come in with Trump.
01:23:21.000This is something that they had their eye on since the very beginning of the night.
01:23:25.000This is something his campaign aides were watching closely, that Trump was watching closely.
01:23:30.000I'm told he was watching the results come in in the residence at Mar-a-Lago before making his way down at least behind the scenes to mingle with donors and campaign staff and elected officials.
01:23:39.000So we'll have to see what he says about that.
01:23:43.000But what's clear from his remarks, Terry, that he gave
01:23:46.000Moments ago here at Mar-a-Lago is that he didn't mention Haley once by name.
01:23:52.000He has been not mentioning her lately, trying to take the attention off of her towards the general election.
01:23:58.000So that's at least what his campaign aides are telling him to focus on the general election.
01:24:04.000Who knows ultimately what Haley's next steps are and what she ultimately says if this changes her calculus with this win.
01:24:13.000All right, Catherine, if I can draw on all the reporting that you're doing on the various Trump trials and legal cases, you know, so far he's been using that to his political advantage, but I want to talk about money.
01:24:30.000You're taking a lot of money to run for president, and Trump is spending a lot.
01:24:35.000How does the money factor in his legal cases, including the fines and the penalties that he's been assigned by juries and judges, how does that play into his ability to raise money to fund a presidential campaign against an incumbent president?
01:24:53.000Well, it's a great question and of course all of those judgments that ultimately he may have to pay.
01:26:43.000The good news or silver lining if you will is that this rightward shift in America very well could be what propels Trump back into the White House.
01:27:52.000Public sector unions are pure garbage, and private sector unions also very liberal, politically activated for Democrats, and they hurt manufacturing.
01:28:04.000So, I don't know if I would say I'm, like, completely opposed to unions, but this idea like, oh, well, boomers hate unions for no reason, that just isn't true.
01:30:12.000I mean, I think I have fresh hot takes because I have a certain intuition and that is God has illuminated things for me to some degree, I think.
01:32:07.000This construction worker a couple hours ago told me to check my windshield wipers.
01:32:11.000I checked it and it looked good but I saw there was a slit in it and then I called my mom and she said I should get a new one so I think I'm gonna get a new one but I don't know cause studies show that it doesn't have...
01:33:09.000If you're not going to do that, then yeah, you should get a graduate degree.
01:33:12.000You should get, like, you know, go to business school, go to law school.
01:33:16.000Liberal arts degree, I mean, look, it is also just the price of admission.
01:33:20.000It's better than nothing, but yeah, I don't know how much... The only thing is, if you're going to get into politics, getting a poli-sci or an IR degree, it's just about the networking.
01:33:29.000Because poli-sci, I don't think there's so much utility in the coursework.
01:33:35.000I mean, I took two semesters of that and I didn't find it to be really helpful.
01:33:42.000I'm kind of self-taught, autodidact when it comes to the political stuff, and I feel like that's pretty easy to pick up.
01:35:33.000And I tried it, and I did the Disney Plus Star Wars thing, but I'm like, I want to get in the ship and go.
01:35:42.000Like, you know, you could go on Tatooine and the Disney Plus thing, but it's like, I want to be in the ship and touch buttons and fly stuff.
01:36:27.000Drinking drinking milk Okay, that's that was like a that was like a dick sucking Dick sucking town slash motion, but you know, I'm trying to do them.
01:36:38.000I'm trying to do the Minecraft drinking effect Yeah, but that was poorly executed that was poorly executed So that's there so yeah, so that's the show now but
01:36:57.000No, but we gotta get the Minecraft on the VR.
01:37:19.000On Telegram, you know, I already have a computer, but if there was like a Transformational gaming experience or I Don't know something else cool like a Second life type thing.
01:37:37.000Yeah that that's we really need we really need you remember like PlayStation Network We need like a PlayStation Network second life Simulation otherwise
01:37:49.000What are we really doing with the technology?
01:38:09.000I told my buddies, I'm like, school shooting has just been revolutionized.
01:38:13.000I know that's like a dark joke, you shouldn't make that joke, but imagine 21st century school shooting, you have like a heads-up display.
01:38:20.000Not that I, okay, preface, this is an edgy joke, this is dark humor, okay, I have to be gay about it because people clip my show and they want to shit on me for saying funny stuff, but like, I was saying to my buddies, it's like, we got the heads-up display, we got the health bar,
01:38:57.000No, you know, you don't even get to see your status effects.
01:38:59.000Don't even get to see what weapon you have equipped.
01:39:04.000Don't have a weapon wheel, but if you get the VR headset, if we really revolutionize that, it's like we're playing life on creative mode now.
01:39:12.000Flying around, eVTOL, heads-up display, open up your inventory, open up your digital inventory in Second Life, Sur- I think it might actually be like Surrogate.
01:39:22.000You ever see the movie Surrogate with Bruce Willis?
01:39:25.000I feel like with the rate that robotics are going, it's gonna be more like Avatar or Surrogate.
01:39:34.000Doesn't that make perfect sense that, you know, why be out in the world where you could die when you could be inside in a fortress and send your robot as a VR version of you?
01:39:46.000I mean, I guess the robot doesn't feel, that's the problem.
01:39:50.000But what if there was like a mind meld like that, like Avatar?
01:40:52.000Is that the ugly, nobody even looks in their direction.
01:40:56.000So you could be fit or fat, doesn't matter.
01:41:00.000If a person with an ugly face gets fit, but no pretty girls witness it, if no pretty girls even look in their direction, did they even get fit?
01:42:06.000A lot of men think that working out is going to do that.
01:42:10.000And they find along the way it's a great hobby and it makes them feel better about themselves, makes them feel healthy, makes them feel more confident about how they look.
01:43:36.000And then you'll so that's one that's one Side of things but then you scroll again and you see someone who's gone viral because they're a complete retard because they're a quadriplegic or they have roaches on their wall or you know, they have some horrible deformity burned alive or something and that person's famous for being like a mutant and
01:43:59.000How do we cope with this soul-crushing inequality, a now global inequality?
01:44:05.000You're now competing with the entire world for attention and other things.
01:44:12.000And so I think people are doing all kinds of things.
01:44:15.000I think that's the common thread with the in-cell black pill thing, the racial identity politics,
01:44:25.000The body shaming, you know, fat phobia stuff, feminism, the gay rights, trans stuff, it's all a big cope for inherent inequality.
01:44:41.000People refuse to accept the facts of life in many ways.
01:44:50.000So that's uh that's the thing and so it's you know people work out I think that's good that's fine but um yeah so it's better to be ugly and fit but it's like you have to resign yourself to the fact you're ugly.
