Benny Johnson, Benny Hinn, and Wesley Hunt dissect Indiana's Republican primary bloodbath, where five incumbents lost after opposing Trump's redistricting. They argue this "revenge war" proves MAGA voters reject RINO betrayal, with pollster Rich Barris warning similar maps are vital for Alabama, Tennessee, and South Carolina to prevent Democratic Supreme Court packing. Caroline Wren condemns John Cornyn's alleged doxing of Wesley Hunt while urging Southern Republicans to abandon negotiation tactics against Marxists. Ultimately, the hosts conclude that destroying evil rather than making peace is essential to securing Republican majorities and protecting the nation from socialist agendas. [Automatically generated summary]
The results in Indiana were a clear display of President Trump's influence over the GOP.
The five Republican state Senate incumbents who lost to Trump backed challengers overnight all opposed the president's push to redraw the state's congressional map.
One incumbent survived.
Another race has yet to be called.
A Republican source says Team Trump operatives put in a lot of money into these races, heavily outraising the incumbents.
Pro Trump groups say it should put Other GOP members who don't back the president's redistricting plan on notice.
Meantime, in the neighboring state of Ohio, former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy emerged as the Republican nominee for governor.
He will face Amy Acton, who ran uncontested in the Democratic primary.

People in this state are struggling.
They are doing everything right.
They're working harder than they ever have, but there is no more breathing room.
They're struggling with the cost of everyday life.
It is time.
For a change in Ohio.
We will deliver you lower costs, bigger paychecks, and better schools.
And my pledge to every person who does not vote for us this November is also lower costs, bigger paychecks, and better schools.
And we will protect your right to complain about it.
I thought that's what people thought, that's what everyone was saying for the last two months, banging it into my eardrum like a bell, like a ding, ding, ding, ding.
MAGA's dead.
MAGA's dead.
Trump has no more political power.
It's amazing what can happen when you actually expose the liars.
And that is what we're going to do today on The Benny Show.
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
Victory is what we seek.
We want to win.
And in order to win, you need to actually keep your own party in check.
In fact, as it always has been, the real forces that we must fight are within our own ranks.
It is cucked Republicans who want to be loved by Democrats on both sides, right?
On either side.
These are the enemies.
Republicans who refuse to act the will of the voters, who refuse to carry forward the mandates of their bosses, the owners of this party, which is you and me.
And we are going to go scorched earth today against the sides of our party that wishes to cuddle with Democrats that long for a slow demise of our republic.
Who are visiting upon us weakness when we, the base, have shown strength?
Who don't know how to win because they don't know how to be strong on anything.
They don't know how to have a backbone.
They don't know how to stand up.
They want to just be loved by their enemies, which is a way of saying we just want to be defeated.
And the Republican Party last night in Indiana, but also across the country, stood up and said, We ain't done yet.
The MAGA movement is not done yet.
And these Republicans who are complacent and willing to sell us out to people who want to kill our children.
That seems crazy, Ben.
Like, what do you mean kill the children?
There's a guy in Virginia right now who just rigged all the maps in Virginia.
His name's Jay Jones, and he's the top law enforcement in Virginia, the attorney general.
And he said he wants to kill Republican children, he wants that as a policy.
He wants to murder your children if you are a Republican so that you can't procreate.
And then they want to make sure other children can't procreate ever again.
They want to mutilate children.
And I'm not going to kumbaya with those people.
You've lost me for a generation.
You're not going to get me cozying up or giving up territory or ground or political power to the side that wants to murder children through abortion or through just straight up killing them because of their parents, their blood guilt, because their parents were Republican.
They've said this.
Or mutilate children.
Another way that they can steal or kill your child from you.
And, you know, in many blue states, it's legal to take the children from the parents and mutilate them.
California is a great example of this.
This is the modern day Democrat Party.
This is what they want.
They also wanted to put us in concentration camps during COVID.
I mean, they said that.
They made that very clear in polling.
And they made that very clear by policy.
You remember the winter?
Of misery and death that Joe Biden promised to visit upon all of us?
Yeah, they were close.
And so there's going to be no harmony with that side.
And if you're a Republican and you're giving up political power to them, especially if you're in a Republican supermajority state, as most states are in this country, Republicans run 32 states in this nation, many of them by supermajorities, because people just can't get on board with race communism and child mutilation.
It's just doesn't, and open borders are just not popular.
In fact, most people call that out for what it is, which is satanic and demonic and evil.
And you're not, it's not Christian to side with that.
It is antithetical to your faith to make peace with evil.
Do not make peace with evil, destroy evil.
And if the Democrat Party wants to fully embrace evil, remember when they did Transgender Day of Visibility on Easter at the White House?
And there were a bunch of.
I don't know, mutants there, like dancing around naked at the White House, like on Easter?
That's what was going on.
That's what was happening to our country.
Remember, multiple presidents not even being able to say the name Jesus Christ on Christmas, not even talk about what Christmas is about?
That's the side.
That's it.
The faster that you realize, as Indiana Republicans realized last night, that it is a battle between.
Not red and blue, not Republican, Democrat.
Those are just cheap terms.
It's a battle between good and evil, darkness and light.
It's a battle that has been raging and waged for millennia and generations.
It always includes the same thing child sacrifice and a will to power that is greater than evil.
And we as Christians know exactly what that is.
And what must be done to conquer evil?
We've done it through millennia, and we can do it again in this country.
And it started last night.
So, no, no, I'm not going to say that Indiana should have blue districts.
No, I'm not going to say, oh, well, the good old cheer and the good old fashioned Chamber of Commerce level, Mitt Romney, George Bush, John McCain, Mike Pence Republicans, where you get to go, oh, shucks, you know, it's just the party of Bill Clinton.
They act like Bill Clinton's president.
Bill Clinton's not president.
You're not going to cut a tax deal with these people.
You're not going to work on Medicaid reform with these people.
You're not going to win with these people.
They're not like the good old fashioned merriment, chuckles, Democrats of the old working class, white working class, union workers.
They're just a little different shade of America than me.
No, they don't want America to exist anymore.
They don't want the country to exist.
They will, given the first opportunity, open the floodgates to infinity third worlders.
Give them infinity federal benefits to come here and infinity change America forever.
And they'll do it.
They'll naturalize every single one of them.
And we must stop that.
It is existential to our nation, it is existential to Western civilization, Christendom.
It is, to put it lightly, our spiritual battle to stand against this.
Deuteronomy says, you know, in case you're wondering, like, you can say, like, oh, Benny, you know, you're, we get the child, we get the child sacrifice stuff.
That's clearly something that, like, you know, we get it.
We, you know, shouldn't sacrifice children.
We get that.
But, like, really, is there anything in the Bible about open borders?
I mean, I heard about, I just heard the Pope the other day talking about how every border should be open, you know, except the Vatican's, but every border should be open.
Yes, there is.
Go check.
Go check the Old Testament.
And also check the teachings of Christ.
But, like Deuteronomy is a great example of do not allow the foreigner to take over your land.
You will become their slave and he will be your master.
Indiana Republicans give Democrats more congressional seats than Kamala won counties.
You understand that?
Do you understand how completely and totally cucked this all is?
Look at this.
This is the makeup of the Indiana state houses.
70% of the state house in Indiana is Republican.
80% of the state Senate is Republican.
Yet, state senators, by a massive margin, 20 state senators sided with Democrats, crossed the aisle to defy Trump to spit in his face in the face of the base.
Because all the base was asking for is fair maps.
All we were asking for are maps that represent this win, ladies and gentlemen, President Trump.
This is a state that should give nine seats to Republicans in the House.
We shouldn't be giving concessions to Democrats in these states because we feel bad or white guilt or whatever, because Mike Pence told us to, because the Chamber of Commerce told us to.
You're running against something wholly and totally different.
So Republicans said, no, we need to do it, and we need to do something now about this.
Indiana senators betrayed their base.
I mean, again, the House passed a bill in flying colors by an absolute majority, sent it over to the Senate, and the Senate voted 31 to 19 to defy Trump.
And probably one of Trump's actually biggest political losses, frankly, of this term.
I think you could really argue this.
The Republican senators in Indiana, in mass, decided to spit in the face of their voters and what happened next.
They all lost.
Look at the results from last night.
President Trump and his team, Turning Point Action, Scott Pressler and his team, and a number of other important groups that are too many to name at this point, went through and engaged in a bloodbath, total metaphorical and electoral slaughterhouse.
And we've never seen, we haven't seen incumbents in Indiana lose in primaries in like 20 years.
We looked it up.
It was hard pressed for us to find anything like this happening in Indiana history.
Nothing has ever happened.
Like this in Indiana history.
Incumbents don't lose in Indiana.
Again, as we have demonstrated, Indiana is a super majority Republican state that decided they were better than the will of the people.
And so the people decided to send them a message.
What is that message?
Here's the message, ladies and gentlemen.
And then we're heading over.
We're going to talk with John McLaughlin, President Trump's personal pollster on what this all means.
Story of the night for Republicans redistrict or you won't have a district.
Play to win or you're going to lose.
We will make you lose.
Don't ever betray the base.
Bush, Cheney, McCain, Romney party is dead, dead, dead, dead.
And it's never, ever, ever coming back.
There is no power in Mike Pence.
Mike Pence and his little think tank is not going to save you.
There's not going to save you.
The George Bush Foundation is not going to save you.
It's over for cucked Republicans who are perfectly satisfied to simply lose, but lose with principles, TM, to the left.
And one final little note before we jump over to John McLaughlin, I'm thrilled to talk with today.
We now have the true fight on our hands.
This was the punishment for not redistricting.
Alabama, Louisiana, Tennessee, Mississippi, and potentially South Carolina will be redistricting soon.
There are Democrats who all are represented in those states in congressional ghettos that have been drawn using racism and illegal, unconstitutional means.
The Supreme Court decided that.
We must engage in reparations for Republicans in those states.
And not give way to Democrats, their dark money, their manipulation in the media, Eric Holder crying on camera, Barack Obama crying on camera.
We must enact ruthlessly the electoral will of our base.
And that is the only way to win.
The only way to win is not betraying Donald Trump.
That's what happened for the last two months with so many podcasters.
It's so humiliating.
If you are listening to those people, turn them off, unsubscribe.
I'm telling you.
It's so embarrassing.
Podcasters who came out advocating to side with Democrats or to campaign with Democrats, or I'm a Democrat.
If your podcaster or somebody you listen to said MAGA is dead, called President Trump the Antichrist, switched parties, started campaigning with Democrats, you're listening to the wrong people.
That is not the way.
Life wouldn't be better with Kamala Harris as president.
What an insane thing to say.
The way to move forward and to facilitate and to win for our side is not to betray Donald Trump.
It is to work with Donald Trump.
That is exactly what we have done.
Albeit at times when we've disagreed with the administration, whatever, you can handle it like an adult.
You can handle it like a professional.
How's a professional handle it?
I go in and I book an interview with JD Vance and then we bring you that interview and we ask tough questions.
That's how we handle it.
And this is how we're going to win.
We're going to focus in on these states.
And by the way, just in case you're wondering, these states, Trump won by bigger margins than Indiana.
So if these states and these state legislatures, I got a message for you.
If you think That you were going to weasel your way in and just say, James Clyburn, he's 85 years old and he's just such a pillar of the House and the Congressional Black Caucus.
And we can't do anything to poor James Clyburn, the guy who rigged the election for Joe Biden.
Joe Biden lost every single primary and James Clyburn came in and saved his ass.
No, yeah, you can't.
And you will, in fact, you will.
President Trump won Alabama by 30 points.
Donald Trump won Indiana by less than 20.
So, Alabama, no blue seats for you.
Louisiana, Donald Trump won by 22 points.
That's way more than Indiana.
No blue seats for you.
Mississippi, Donald Trump won by 23 points.
Yeah, no blue seats for you.
Tennessee, Donald Trump won by nearly 30 points.
It's like the best one there.
Yeah, no blue seat for Memphis.
Sorry, we're done.
And then South Carolina, get your act together.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the moment.
This is the time.
We are going to win.
We're going to keep on winning because of you and because of the energy of this movement.
And so much of that movement is facilitated by those who gave President Trump the correct data in all of this.
The man who is Trump's personal pollster, John McLaughlin, joins the show live right now to talk us through what this all means.
By the way, this is really personal for me because I've worked for the Indiana State Republican Senate majority since 2010.
And at the time, out of the 50 state Senate seats, they had 30 seats.
And because of the senators themselves, the caucus being on the right side of the issues, there's a really smart political operative, Matt Zaffy, there.
Um, we brought it up to 40 out of 50 seats, they have a super majority.
So, in 2024, they picked up another seat.
We went from 39 to 40.
Um, unheard of kind of control of the state senate.
Bad part was uh, when it was proposed to uh, to redistrict, some of these state senators didn't want to do it.
And last August, we did a statewide poll for them, said this was going to be really bad because you have a solid Republican base, President Trump has levels of 90 or better.
Uh, approval ratings, favorability ratings among these Republican primary voters in Indiana.
He's been very loyal to them.
He's cut taxes, he's secured the border, he's fighting crime, he's done everything he was promised to do.
We built this working class coalition together in Indiana.
He's been very popular, and uh, they didn't want to go along with this.
By the way, you know, this is not about Republican states in New York State in 2024, Governor Hochel redistricted it, cost us.
I don't just work in Republican Trump states.
I work in plenty of blue states and win elections in plenty of blue states.
And they went and because we won 11 seats in the 22 election out of New York's 26, Holkle redistricted and they cost us a seat for Brandon Williams.
It cost us New York three.
It cost us New York four.
So Holkle is, and she's talking about doing it again.
And she's, you know, so the Democrats.
Are doing this and the state senators, like in Indiana, this is about us holding the majority.
So, Democrats don't get to raise taxes, that they don't get to open the borders again, that they don't get to weaken our military, that they don't get to allow Iran to have nuclear weapons.
I mean, there are basic fundamental issues involved here that are very popular, not just with our base, but also with the majority.
I mean, for the point of a lot of these states, Indiana has voter ID, but a lot of these other states, they don't have even voter ID.
Well, we told, because we are the president's pollster, we told the caucus we could only work for.
Incumbents who had primaries and Senator Alting, who voted for redistricting, pardon me, who had primaries, who voted for redistricting.
We could not work for anyone who voted against redistricting.
So, those centers that voted against redistricting, I don't know who they used for polling and what the strategies were, but it was bad information that they got.
Senator Alting won handily.
There's another center who had a tough challenge, Liz Brown.
She's hit by a little.
Those two voted for redistricting.
We were able to work for them.
The other state centers, Once they voted against redistricting, they really voted against their rank and file voters in the primaries.
And the results were five of them have lost.
One's in a very close race.
Only one Senator Good has been able to hang on to his seat.
So, you know, as you said, you know, it was, they were decimated because they voted against the interests of the voters who sent them to Indianapolis to be in the state Senate.
What would be your warning, of course, as somebody who is as sophisticated as you are in reading the base and the sentiment of the base to other states that are about to redistrict?
There are some major states, red states that are even more red than Indiana that are considering maybe giving a demo, like giving a Democrat a seat here or a seat there and not going full max, uh, and and and pulling like an Indiana.
Ultimately, this is about who's going to control Congress and the Senate.
Ultimately, and Hakeem Jeffries, he's not popular at all.
He's 27% favorable, he's 42% unfavorable.
As people get to know him as a Brooklyn big government socialist, they don't want him to be the Speaker of the House.
Chuck Schumer, he's a 20% nationally.
Our last poll this week, he's 27% favorable, 50% unfavorable.
Less popular than Kamala Harris.
And he's going to control the Senate.
He's less popular than Joe Biden.
And that's who Donald Trump is trying to stop from controlling Washington.
Why?
Because they don't want to just get rid of the Trump tax cuts.
They want to raise your taxes.
Every Democrat in the House and Senate last year voted against the Trump tax cuts, which would have raised taxes $1,700 on every individual.
They voted for open borders.
They voted for, they won't let us have voter ID or proof of citizenship in our elections.
I mean, Ultimately, when you're voting on redistricting, as they just saw in Virginia, Virginia, they almost stopped the redistricting, although now it's in court because of the wording of the ballot measure.
The Democrats were playing fast and loose.
But Governor Spamberger, she's raising taxes on everything.
The Virginia citizens who were told she's a moderate, she's not going to do this, she's trying to turn Virginia into a high tax sanctuary state.
So these are the types of people we have to stop.
Look at.
Thomas Massey in Kentucky.
Thomas Massey votes repeatedly against the president in Kentucky for in that congressional district.
He voted against the Trump tax cuts.
He voted against no taxes on tips, no taxes on overtime, no taxes on senior citizens with social security credits.
He voted for a tax increase.
He voted against immigration measures.
So when you go to Washington as a Republican, our voters think, or when you go to Indianapolis or whatever state capital, our voters think you share their agenda.
It's the issues that matter.
I mean, we want crime to go down.
We want the military to be strong.
We want elections to be honest.
We want the economy to grow again to get out of the Biden Harris inflation.
And that's why you were sent there.
And all of a sudden, you decide to vote against your base.
You're going to pay a big price.
President Trump's our leader, but it's really about the issues that these voters care about.
So, John, I know that you're up against a hard out.
I want to be respectful of your time here, but I hope you don't mind a really quick couple follow ups.
So, you're saying that Republicans in these states, these dark red states, should listen to their base and they should redistrict to the max for Republican advantage.
Because if we don't, if we don't, the Democrats are going to get control.
And if they get control of the House and the Senate, we'll pay a big price.
It'll be taxes will go up, inflation will be back, they'll weaken our military.
You'll see Iran with a nuclear weapon.
You will see in New York City.
The city council voted a couple years ago to allow non citizens to vote.
That's illegal immigrants.
Fortunately, it was thrown out by a court, but that would take off all over the country.
The Democrats will suspend the filibuster.
They'll make Washington, D.C., a state.
They'll stack the Supreme Court.
I mean, there's a lot at stake in this election that if we lose control of the House or, God forbid, lose control of the Senate, The Democrats are the Trump agenda will be ended, and that's the Trump agenda is really the agenda of the working class Americans across our country who've been exploited by Washington for years.
Yes, and Donald Trump's been our leader, he stopped them, he stood up for working Americans.
And if we're asleep at the switch and we don't come out in November, the Democrats will be back in control, and it'll be business as usual for the Washington political class, and it'll be a tragic day for America.
They had 41% of all voters didn't vote in the presidential election, but it's in a poll about the midterms in the Washington Post.
And so, but when you look at our real polls, he has a 49% approval, 46% disapproval.
We've got to get that higher.
But in the meantime, the Republicans for Congress are losing by four points.
So there's a gap between Trump's approval and Republicans running the generic ballot for Congress.
We have to close that gap, and you have to do it on issues.
And we have to play offense against the Democrats.
They want to raise taxes.
They want open borders.
They want to have higher crime.
They want to release criminals.
They want to weaken our military.
There's so many issues.
They want dishonest elections.
We have to play offense to hold the House and hold the Senate.
And the sooner, by the way, there's a question we have in this where we ask them Do you want to protect the filibuster or do you want to pass voter ID and proof of citizenship for the elections?
They told us, 56% told us that they want voter ID.
It's more important to have voter ID and proof of citizenship than protecting the filibuster two to one.
We called balls and strikes and we stayed solid because we understood the enemy that we were fighting.
So many others didn't, and we are very proud and we're proud to be a representative of this movement and to fight with you, ladies and gentlemen, cashing in.

All right, ladies and gentlemen, moving on right along here to somebody that I'm really excited to speak with, somebody who's running against Lindsey Graham for Senate in South Carolina.
The great Mark Lynch joins our program live right now.
I would like to just jump right over to South Carolina and the state legislature passing out of committee just moments ago a decision that they might be able to redistrict in your fine state.
We love South Carolina.
We were there for the primaries.
It's a beautiful state.
It's constantly fighting with my home state of Iowa for first of the nation status.
Wonderful people in both states.
Your take, sir, on whether South Carolina should move to eliminate Jim Clyburn's seat and a racially gerrymandered seat that has now been found unconstitutional.
And with the redistricting, we can get a racial segregation discrimination thing finished and bust that up and have fair elections again and get him out.
And so, what would be your message to the South Carolina Republicans in the legislature, the Senate, the House, the governor, McMaster, on the heels of what happened in Indiana last night?
And what do you say on behalf of the base in South Carolina, those Trump voters who delivered, I can't remember what the margin was, he was running against Nikki Haley.
And everybody thought maybe it'd be closer, but it was another Trump blowout in South Carolina.
South Carolina loves the president.
They voted for Donald Trump by over 20 points in the 2024 election, absolute landslide for South Carolina.
What is your message on behalf of the base?
Do the voters of South Carolina want this to happen, sir?
He wasn't in DC working on things with the gas prices or anything like you said.
Why is he down at Disney World with a bubble wand by himself, of all things?
And South Carolinians have seen Lindsay's been AWOL.
And then he makes a comment we're going to come back.
To South Carolina and take your sons and daughters to the Mideast to fight in this war.
No, you're not.
You know, everybody's tired of Lindsay's warmongering, endless wars.
They know that his biggest owners are Lockheed Martin and Boeing.
They proved that in the last election in 2020.
And we're tired of that.
You know, everybody in South Carolina, even though Trump has endorsed Lindsay, we know that Trump knows how to win.
He has a lean Senate majority.
That's politics.
And we break that word down a lot for people.
Poly means many, and ticks are blood sucking parasites.
And that's what this game is sometimes.
Trump, with a lean Senate majority, endorsed him so that he could get his votes across the line because Lindsey will normally pull one or two other Republican senators with him.
That's just good business for Trump.
He knows he's smart, he's got to get it done.
But Lindsey's voting record, Benny, is 43%.
In the conservative realm, lifetime voting record 43%.
His lifetime constitutional voting record is 57%.
It's failing in all the scorecards that voters can look up and see how their U.S. Senator is doing.
So it's time for him to be removed.
He's betraying South Carolina, he's betraying America, and he stabs Trump in the back every chance he gets.
Mark, do you think that there's any foreign money involved here?
Like it just seems like an irrational obsession with other nations and other places other than where you come from, right?
Which is South Carolina, which in and of itself is a wonderful place to be from.
There's plenty of reasons to care deeply about South Carolina and the lovely state that it is.
But Lindsey Graham doesn't seem to do that.
He seems to be obsessed with other places 5,000 miles, 6,000 miles away, regions that don't speak our language, regions that are totally and wholly foreign to us.
With Ukraine, Lindsey was going over there months ago about every other weekend.
And we had receipts where he's spending $400,000 a night for hotels and luxury dining and everything he was doing.
And finally, Trump called him out because Lindsey Graham is a U.S. Senator for South Carolina.
He's not Marco Rubio or Pete Hegseth or he's not Donald Trump.
So why is he over there helping keep the war going on?
With Zelensky while President Trump is having peace talks with Putin and Zelensky.
It's very upsetting that he's fighting against the president on those issues and trying to keep the war escalating.
I met a Ukrainian gentleman the other night at a presentation we did on this campaign, and he said, You know, we've lost over a million men in the Ukraine, and you know how to take a country over, kill all the men off, and you just walk in and take it.
And it's just a shame that that continues on for what?
And that's not an America first thing at all.
We need to help end that war and stop funding all that with money we don't have, being $39 trillion in debt.
People in South Carolina, even with Trump's endorsement of Lindsey, all know they respect Trump, but that endorsement won't save Lindsey this time.
That's the pulse across America and in our great state of South Carolina.
So, we have a chance to replace him and get a true conservative Republican, a godly patriot.
You know, I'm an ordained deacon in our church, and we'll hold to biblical principles like our forefathers founded America on and use that as our decision making process to go through the Bible first with every decision.
And then it's got to come through the Constitution next so that we protect America's values.
That started this great nation.
And so we have an opportunity on our 250th birthday to replace a trader.
And I say that because, you know, an article came out with Breitbart about four weeks ago talking about Lindsay being over USAID, that Trump finally closed that organization down last year.
But they had funneled over $122 million to NGOs working directly with Hamas and Al Qaeda, enemies of this nation.
And so that's not who we need in our U.S. Senate that's helping the enemies of our country.
Well, John, President Trump has been seeking revenge, and tonight he is getting it.
He has had a successful effort in at least three of the Indiana State Senate primary races, and one of the Trump challengers has failed.
So, right now, the scorecard that the White House is watching very carefully is three to one, and the Trump back.
Candidates is leading in the other two.
What are we talking about here?
Why are we talking about the Indiana State Senate?
Because the senators, the Republicans who have served for nearly 20 years, each one of them who lost, voted against the president's redistricting plan last December.
They said that they did not believe it was appropriate to redraw those maps.
The White House has said, We are going to throw you out of office, and that is what is happening this evening.
It was a dramatic campaign, millions of dollars spent, and the White House is winning this revenge war, if you will, tonight.
Only one Non Trump backed challenger, Senator Greg Agood, is holding on.
His race was a bit peculiar.
He was running against two people named Wilson, but he is holding on.
So for the White House tonight, one bit of good news in this challenging midterm election year, John.
I, oh man, you guys are going to just absolutely love also this.
MSNBC clip.
It's so choice, but directly from the Hoosier state.
How long is this?
Oh, it's just a couple of seconds.
Here we go.
All right.
Let's just play it.
Just watch them melt down.
We got the salt flowing.
Might as well just get it flowing.
Just keep the salt flowing.
Listen to them cry.
unidentified
We are projecting that Trevor DeVries, the challenger backed by Donald Trump to state Senator Dan Durnell, has won the primary.
In Indiana's first state Senate district, Durnell, one of the Republican incumbent state senators who voted for, again, who didn't vote for, he voted against the redistricting plan, the Trump championed redistricting plan, ran afoul of the president, and now has lost his seat because of it.
That is one, two, three, four, five now defeated state Senate Republicans in Indiana in their primary.
And I'm Benny, this is what was so kind of frustrating about last night.
This didn't have to happen.
We told these senators that this was going to be a problem.
I mean, here you had Texas, Missouri, and then, of course, now other states.
North Carolina had already done redistricting, Florida's going to do it, Ohio's going to do it.
And it did pass in the House of Representatives in Indianapolis, but the senators all Uh, botched it up, and of course, the Senate pro tem, uh, Rod Bray, he's the one that really is to blame for all this.
All these senators that lost last night, they should be blaming him, or they can blame themselves because they should have stood up to him.
And uh, they said, Well, we were listening to our constituents.
Look at every state that it went to the ballot on in Democrat states.
Democrats overwhelmingly voted to give the legislature the ability to uh, to redistrict.
You know, they can take all these phone calls in their offices.
Well, it's the people that don't want it that call.
It's the people that expect them to do what we as a Republican Party should be doing and sticking together.
They just expect them to do the right thing.
And so I tell you, it shows you how strong President Trump is in Indiana, but it also shows that Republican voters in Indiana want somebody who's going to fight and not just roll over for the Democrat Party.
Republicans control 70% of the House, 80% of the Senate in Indiana, and yet you give two seats.
To Democrats for no earthly reason.
Kamala Harris didn't even get 40% in the state.
She got 38%.
It's woefully, woefully unpopular.
The Democrat Party is totally unpopular.
And I think Republicans are just tired of losing quietly or like walking with our principles right into the gulag.
Like we're sick of that.
And I think that's what lost.
Can you maybe expound on that?
Like on that kind of like Mike Pence level, like, you know, Mitt Romney, John McCain, George W. Bush, Cheney, the Republican Party, and how that's gone.
Well, you know, one of the things about Hoosiers, we're very nice people, but what we don't like is when people give us lip service and they say, we're going to do one thing and then they do another thing.
We don't like it.
And you know what?
We may not be the loudest and say, I'm voting against you.
And this is, you know, I heard this from some of the state senators through some folks that said, yeah, that they were feeling it on the ground.
I'm like, yeah, there's a lot of Hoosiers that aren't telling you.
That they're going to vote against you because that's not what Hoosiers do.
We're nice about it, but we stand our ground and we want somebody who's going to fight for us.
That's why President Trump is so popular here because he's a man of action.
Hoosiers are people of action.
We may not be the boisterous type coming from New York, but we are also ones that are very principled and we're expecting people to do what they say they're going to do.
And a lot of these senators missed it.
And we tried to tell them, you know, whether it was Senator Banks, whether, of course, it was Vice President JD Vance who came and spoke to the Senate caucus and the House caucus.
We said, look, guys, you don't want to be on the other side of this, not just because it's President Trump, but it's because we have to fight the Democrats.
And President Trump, when he says he's got your back, he's got your back.
If he says he's going to be against you, which he told him that he was going to be against them, they went ahead and voted against redistricting anyway.
And I think it's ironic that the leftist media is saying this is a revenge tour.
It's not.
It's just simply, look, we're going to stick together as a Republican party and fight the Democrat party the way that they have been defeating us over the past several decades on redistricting.
I mean, I worked with Governor Mitch Daniels and then Governor Mike Pence.
I worked with Mike Pence in Congress.
I had a deep respect for both of them.
And I'll tell you what, Benny, if they would have been governor when George W. Bush was president and George W. Bush would have asked them to redistrict, they would have done the same thing.
And I think it's a little disingenuous for them now that they're out of office and because they don't like, you know, whether it's President Trump's personality or whatever it is, for them to work against today's party.
I mean, they would have done the same thing if they would have been in office because we have to stick together as a party to win.
And I just am disappointed.
It's like, you know what?
Just don't say anything.
That would be best.
And they're losing popularity so quickly, even amongst Hoosiers.
I represent part of the old Pence seat.
And I'm surprised that Mike Pence decided to get involved.
And you know what?
I have a ton of respect for these people for their service in the past, but they need to realize that today's Democrat Party, it's not Grandpa and Grandma's Democrat Party.
This is a party full of Marxists and socialists.
And we have to fight whether we like the rules or not.
This isn't, you know, this is, Benny, it's not a biblical issue.
This is not a spiritual issue.
This is not even a moral issue.
This is a partisan issue.
And Democrats are redrawing their maps in these other states.
And they've been doing it, taking advantage of us.
And finally, we have a fighter that says, hey, let's do the same thing because this is the way the rules are to be able to be competitive in Washington.
And so other states are doing it.
And that's what I'm a little baffled by that these state senators didn't see other states.
I was talking to Tim Moore, the former Speaker of the House in North Carolina, who did redistricting.
He's like, it's not an issue.
Hoosiers showed last night they expect their elected officials to stick with the party and fight for the president in our state if they can do it.
What is the warning sign here, Congressman, for other states?
Because you are potentially going to be in the minority in Congress if some of these Republican states don't redistrict.
And these states like Alabama, Louisiana, Tennessee, South Carolina, Mississippi, Trump won them more than he won in Indiana, not to insult the fine Hoosier state, but Trump won those states.
Trump won Alabama by 33 points, right?
He won Tennessee by 31 points.
I mean, these are.
Truly historic and biblical landslide states.
What would be your recommendation when it comes to redistricting?
I mean, again, you know, if Massachusetts is nine to zero Democrat, if Virginia is 10 to one in favor of the Democrats, which is that's a 50 50 state, you know, that's the way this is now playing.
I mean, Illinois, I think they have two Republicans out of the 30 some seats they have.
California, it's going to be 48 to four in California.
I mean, this is the, you know what, we may not like it, but this is what it is.
And if we want to fight for, American values, for conservative values, to keep this country the great nation that it is and has been.
When President Trump says, make America great again, this is part of that process.
And so I would say to these states, you have to do it.
We unfortunately won't be able to do it in time for the 2026 election here in Indiana, but I'll bet you those senators who voted against it, who are up for reelection in 2028, I bet you they don't either run or they're going to elect a new state Senate leader.
As soon as they meet in the next couple of weeks and go a different direction.
But it's like stick together as a team.
If we as Republicans stick together, we can win in 2026.
But if we divide ourselves and don't follow a strong leader, we're going to end up in the minority, I'm afraid.
I mean, they're it's a little bit in Indiana out of some of the, you know, like Indianapolis and Northwest Indiana, but they don't even have to work with them.
Uh, you know, this is razor close.
In Washington, and they should have understood that that's why we needed them to have our back, and we'll have theirs.
Yeah, talk me through it because you've been dooming on MAGA and I can't stand it.
I can't take it.
So here, this is me extending my Christian olive branch to you and saying, okay, like stop blackpilling, you lunatic, get back on board and start winning again.
This is what it's like, you know, there's a fine line between like dooming or blackpilling.
And, you know, pushing people to a place because the challenges are so great, pushing people to a place where they finally understand what it's going to take.
And Indiana is good for that message last night.
Because, look, Benny, I heard you say a couple of things.
You're on track.
I mean, people are absolutely just done with performative politics.
This was Republicans just came out in Indiana last night.
And while the president, there were eight, they gave the president a problem, he targeted seven specifically.
He got a 5 2 record out of that, even though one of them guys is literally separated by like three votes.
Okay.
I mean, it is that close.
But we saw other incumbents go down, Benny.
Republicans just went out and said, I'm tired of these people.
I'm tired of the happy losing.
I'm tired of them not understanding what time it is in this country.
You're worried about redistricting?
They're going to destroy everything.
People are going to prison.
You're getting two new seats, at least in the Senate.
They're going to pack the Supreme Court.
People are going to jail.
If Donald Trump did not win the election, In 2024, that man would be sitting in prison right now, and these guys are complaining over redistricting and they don't want to break rules and norms and this and that.
Are you crazy?
Look what they did in Virginia, Benny.
He did not win that, lose that state by 30 points, and we have basically no seats.
So they came out, you saw an SD six starkey won, he wasn't even by the president.
The president did give him a shout out at the last minute, and that was great.
But I mean, the campaign was over, starkey just won.
You know, you have Voight ahead to an SD 15.
Republicans were just like, you know what.
I'm done.
I'm done.
You don't get it?
You want a message?
Let me give you a message.
And shameless plug for the ranked number one book on Amazon Hot New Releases right now, which is me, baby.
Burn it down.
That's what they want.
They're done with the performative crap.
We need an entirely new Republican Party.
We will continue to lose until we throw these bums out and burn it down.
This is a guy who didn't even have the balls in 2016 to endorse Donald Trump, even though he knew Donald Trump was the right guy for the time at that moment.
But he told the wrong party line.
He told the happy loser party line and endorsed Ted Cruz in some quasi endorsement in an interview where he was like, you know, I think Trump is really saying what needs to be said, but, you know, I support Ted Cruz.
It goes to show you what a little girl he is.
What a cowardly little Mary Mike Pence is.
And he represents that wing of a dying Republican Party.
The first boomers that Mike Pence caters to turn 80 this year.
And again, that's what my whole point of my argument is Donald Trump won with millennial mind changers and first time Gen X voters coming out of the woodwork and because he did better with Generation Z.
This is insane to have this party cater to the Mike Pence's when the voters don't want them.
This was a guy who was the governor of their state.
By the way, a governor of a state that Barack Obama won in 08.
And Donald Trump comes around, turns the whole map upside down, and wins it by 20 points.
And idiots like him, simpletons like him think, I think we'll just carry on like business as usual or something.
It's nothing significant about this moment in history.
The guy loses in 2020, loses, and then gets 91 felony indictments and comes back and stomps Kamala Harris into the ground.
Wins the popular vote for the first time in many voters that watch your show, the first time in their lifetime they've ever seen a Republican do that at voting age.
George Bush was 22 years ago, Benny.
You know, I mean, and these guys just pretend like they could just keep going with business as usual.
And that's what they tried to do in the Indiana Senate.
They said, you know what?
Donald Trump, if he loses the midterms, that'll be it for him anyway.
It'll be a lame duck.
So we're not going to do this for him.
We don't even like him particularly anyway.
So we're just going to defy him and there won't be any consequences.
Well, guess what?
There are consequences.
And I laughed my ass off last night.
I really did, Benny.
I had such a blast watching these guys go down.
I just, it was the bee's knees for me, brother, because they need to be.
Punished because it's not them who's going to suffer.
And what you know, they get to hide and they get to cower in Indianapolis, right?
And so many of these other Republicans that is the message go redistrict before your primary.
Kemp, you weenie, you canceled the primary 10 days before the primary for COVID, even though there were tons of early votes cast already.
Raffensberger just held the early votes, Benny, and then they counted them when the new primary date came.
Everybody could do it right now.
This is what needs to be done.
Democrats go for the jugular, and Republican voters are done with their party, you know, sucking on their baby milk, bro, and doing nothing while the country gets torn to shreds and ripped out from underneath them.
I mean, there's just as much as critical as I have been on, you know, with him.
Look what he did in Indiana.
We need him to be more forceful and to not be so willing to play ball with some of these guys who make him like, you know, make him feel like he's their friend.
Mr. President, if you lose the House and the Senate, you're going to be removed from office.
All right.
So the voters of Indiana did their job last night.
Now it's our turn to make sure that their voice and the message they sent is heard loud and clear to all of these other people.
This is huge, Benny, because a big part of the reason why Democrats are steamrolling Republicans in our polling for November is because Republicans are depressed.
Well, this is a way to have a clarion.
We can all unite behind this clarion call because if we get stomped in November, and this is what the leaders need to understand as well you think you're going to be left untouched by this?
You're sadly mistaken.
The Supreme Court ruling could mean something and we could make it mean something now, or if we do nothing and we depress our voters, we depress our right leaning independents, and we get killed in November.
Then the Supreme Court ruling will basically mean nothing.
Because guess what happens when you lose the House or you lose the Senate?
Guys, you think that doesn't touch the state legislatures?
It does.
Look what happened in Pennsylvania already.
Look what happened in Virginia already.
Look what happened in New Jersey already.
We can't afford that.
So we need to show our voters that we fight and we fight all the time and give them a reason to come back out and vote for you.
If you defend them, they will defend you.
That is literally the entire lesson of the Trump administration, the Trump era, the Trump phenomena.
And in 2018, even though they lost the House because of the healthcare betrayal, in 2018, Voters in Florida, in Indiana, in Tennessee, all across the country came out storming for that Senate vote to make sure that Donald Trump could not be removed from office.
We need to recreate that kind of energy, Benny.
Or the reason I'm dooming is because I have never seen polling this bad.
We need to turn this around.
It's not a joke.
And everyone needs to start realizing.
I know everyone's like high on the Trump.
You know, we got three branches of government.
Trump won in a landslide.
Did you forget what it was like to have Democratic control?
Did you forget what happens when Democrats control committees?
Did we forget this?
Come on, wake up, wake up, time to go.
And you can't play, you know, you can't play patty cake, man.
We control everything, and they're still mutilating children and killing us in the streets, right?
They're still killing you, a regular on Charlie's show.
They're still killing Charlie, and we control all of it.
So, like, what's going to happen when they actually have the power?
I mean, it's horrifying.
So, this is the final question I have for you, Rich, and that you're the perfect guy to ask because you got hot blood just like me, and it's something that I've been banging on about for such a long time.
This isn't Bill Clinton.
There's this spell that's been cast on the Republican Party that a generation of Republicans that want to just lull themselves to sleep and think that you're negotiating with Bill Clinton in 1993 and you could just pass a healthcare bill with him, or you could pass a Medicare or a tax bill.
This isn't that.
And there's something like maybe you could just expound on and put a final nail in the coffin of the Bush, Cheney, Romney, McCain, Pence era of the Republican Party that wants to just be patted on the head.
By the left and be given a doggy treat and put on a leash.
Listen, as long as we have been tracking MAGA and America First for Republican identification, we have been tracking Democrats as well.
Now, we just started tracking it every month, going back maybe six months.
More than 60% of the Democratic Party, forget about what your legacy media pollsters tell you, more than six in 10 Democratic voters identify with some form of socialism.
They don't really hold tight to ideology the way they did in the Clinton era.
Are you a moderate?
Are you a liberal?
15% of the Democratic Party on a given month call themselves traditional liberals.
These are fanatics and they want results.
And by the way, they're going to give them to, they will give them these results.
And when they, those results will hurt you.
Again, I think a lot of these older guys is a generational thing, Benny.
These older guys are used to having, you know, your friends across the aisle.
Well, your friends put your friends in jail now.
That's what happens to your friends.
Your friends sit the IRS and financially bankrupt people.
Your friends get all of their friends, their attorney general and district attorney friends, and all around the country to indict your friends across the aisle.
These people play for keeps.
They go for the jugular.
That time is over.
We're not in the era of ideology anymore.
Again, they are done with performative politics.
The Democratic voter has been for a while.
They demand action.
They get it.
Republicans are simply asking them to do the same.
It's not unfair, Benny.
It's not.
This is the, and Congressman Sussman just said it.
Or, state representative Stutzman just said, This is within the rules.
We're not asking you to go outside the rules here.
We're asking you to fight fire with fire.
Rise to the occasion.
You've been riding high on the achievements of prior generations for decades.
Step up or get out and let someone else fill your shoes who have the balls to do it.
Take your file at the FBI of you doing whatever you were not supposed to be doing in that hotel room with that 16 year old and go the hell home to your wife.
Kara, our producer, has been booking her tail off, and she's booked somebody who's been a longtime dear friend and ally of the program, a member of Congress that we just sincerely love.
And he's always a beacon of truth, a beacon of clarity.
He hails from the great state of Texas that did redistricting right.
And the state just looks beautiful.
It's ruby red.
He is Congressman Wesley Hunt, fresh off of a commanding performance in the Republican primary in the Senate primary.
And it's, well, going to be very interesting to speak with the congressman.
It's his first time back on the program since.
And let's welcome the congressman from Texas live right now.
We live in the greatest country in the world, Benny.
Every day in the morning, I wake up and I know it.
As I've said on your show many a day, I'm somebody that's fought for this country.
I'm somebody that flew combat missions in Baghdad and Apache.
And when you do that, you wake up every single day, no matter how bad our days may seem in this country, on our worst day, this is the greatest country in the world.
That's why you will always see a smile on my face.
And for the rest of my years on this earth that God gives me, I will always wake up with American exceptionalism and optimism.
I always talk about Texas and Florida kind of being the leaders of this country.
As Texas and Florida go, that's kind of how the entire country is going to go.
So we have to ensure that we keep these states red.
Why?
Because they're free.
We have low state taxes.
We have no state income taxes.
Businesses want to move here.
This is a conservative state.
And at the end of the day, when people move here, you don't turn this thing into what you are fleeing, which is in California and New York.
And that's why Texas and Florida are the two fastest growing states in the entire country.
Now, what happened in Indiana really puts a really big smile on my face.
Face because it just shows the strength of the MAGA movement.
And if you think that President Trump is done, you are now sorely mistaken.
And if you're in other states like South Carolina and a few others in Georgia right now, you're like, wait a minute, let me think twice before I go the rhino way.
Let me think twice before I write him off and call President Trump a lame duck president, given what we just saw in Indiana.
Again, what I love about President Trump is he is going to fight to the very end.
And what you brought up earlier in the segment that's so true, brother, is this if we don't do this now, If we don't redistrict now, if we don't get as many seats as legally possible now, please know that Democrats are going to do the exact same thing to us.
We must strike first.
And that's the whole reason why we started this in Texas, legally, of course.
That's the whole reason why Florida did the right thing with Governor DeSantis.
And that's why people were punished and flogged last night in Indiana for not following suit with what the will of the Republican primary wants.
If we operate in their best interest, then they will show up for us in the midterms.
And if we don't, and if we're complicit to what we did in the past with the old Rhino regime, as we were talking about earlier, the old Bush era regime, then you're going to pay a price.
He wants to continue to lead from the front and do everything that we can to ensure that we have free and fair elections, that we defend our court.
Because just like you said, if it were up to the left, this guy would be in jail.
And yet he was able to come back and rise from the ashes and still become the president yet again.
It's that fighting warrior ethos that we cannot ignore.
Look at what just happened in Virginia.
You mean to tell me that there's only one district in Virginia that's red now?
That's kind of ridiculous.
These people, now that they know what they can do, they are going to go for the heart.
They're going to stab a dagger in our hearts if we don't follow the lead of the president.
And the one thing that I heard in his voice when I was talking to him was this it's serious.
So dire straits.
And again, the fact that we have President Trump back is the only reason why we still have a nation to continue to be proud of to this day.
I can't imagine the disaster this country would be if Kamala Harris were in charge.
And if we ignore what this man went through, if we ignore the fact that they raided his home and all the ridiculous indictments and the fact that there have now been three, four attempts on his life, I've never seen this much violence toward a president in the history of my life.
And yet he still gets up in the morning, puts his pants on, and goes to work for America every single day.
And if we do not fight fire with fire, as you so eloquently put it earlier, we're going to be in really big trouble post midterm, and not just that, for the future of this country.
And then going into the presidential year, which is going to be extraordinarily consequential for us to win, so we can continue to have the wins that we have seen and President Trump's presidency.
So at the end of the day, let's look at the leader that we have.
We know who's in charge.
There is no auto pin.
He proudly signs every single bill publicly.
He is the most visible president we have ever seen in the history of this country.
He's the most accessible president we have ever seen in the history of this country.
And despite the fact that his life is in danger, his family's life is in danger, he still gets up, goes on a White House lawn, and then teaches kids how to do the Trump dance for physical fitness.
This guy is a machine.
We have got to understand leadership.
I'm somebody that understands leadership.
This is our guy.
We must follow suit or we're going to lose our country.
Newsflash it is not 1964 anymore in America, it is not.
And while the left doesn't want to admit that people like me exist, people like John James exist, people like Byron, the next governor of Florida, exist, people like Burgess Owens, who is a United States congressman in Utah, and last I checked, I don't think there's very many black people in Utah.
Guess what.
We have come a long way in this country.
And the fact that the four of us represent white majority districts means that we are, as I always say, being judged not by the color of our skin, but by the content of our character.
And then what these liberals are trying to do is to keep minority groups and keep black and brown people on the Democrat plantation by saying that the only way you can have anything in this country is if we give it to you, if we draw you a district with all minorities in it that will ensure that you have a minority in that seat.
How about this?
I got an idea for you.
Be a good candidate.
Work hard, serve this country.
You may not always win, but at least put your name on a ballot and then let the people choose between who they want to see to be their leader in those congressional districts.
And you would be surprised that people could really care less about the color of one's skin.
Otherwise, people like me wouldn't even exist.
It's time to put up our best and brightest, regardless of what your race is.
And what we have are a lot of black people, especially on the Democrat side, that are simply there because their entire districts.
Or minorities, and they're proud of that.
And see, what I want to talk about is the progress that we have made from 1964 to 2026.
And that's why I'm sitting right now in my congressional office, my beautiful, my big, beautiful congressional office that I'm going to miss next year dearly.
And I love the people here, but they put me in this position and they elected me in a district that President Trump would have won by over 20 points handedly because they don't care about race.
They don't care about the way you look.
So the fact that we are finally progressing into what America really is today, America is in fact now a meritocracy.
That means we are trending in the right direction.
And now that means put your best and brightest forward.
And then that's how you win elections, not just because they are drawn for black and brown people for a specific race.
First of all, I want to thank the 300,000 people that voted for me in this Senate run.
And even though we didn't win, it's like kind of like I told my daughter, she goes, you know, Daddy, are we going to win tonight?
I said, honey, we're not going to win tonight.
But here's what I want you to see for the last couple of months.
I want you to know that your daddy worked hard, he worked every single day.
And the Lord has a plan.
And as long as you put your best foot forward, good.
Things will always happen to you.
So I want to thank those people that did come out and vote for me.
And no, we are not done.
I will certainly be around if you could hear that in my voice.
What I love though is this how many times have we had a congressman rise to the ranks to become the United States Senator in the history of Texas?
Basically, it hasn't happened over 40 or 50 years.
So now that my name has been on the ballot statewide, now that I'm not going to go anywhere, now that I'm in my early 40s, we have time to continue to build on that.
But the reason why I ran was because I wanted to give the people of Texas a choice.
And even though they chose, they went a different direction.
I will tell you the direction of Indiana, what we just saw last night, I have a sneaking suspicion that over the course of the next few weeks, We're going to see potentially a similar result.
The reason why I haven't endorsed in this race either, brother, is because, well, the president hasn't either.
And I want to note this the president has not endorsed in this race.
The governor has not endorsed in this race.
The lieutenant governor has not endorsed in this race.
Ted Cruz, John Cornyn's 20 year colleague, has not endorsed in this race.
And the reason why I believe they have not, and the reason why the president has not either, is because he wants the people of Texas to decide.
Let the people of Texas decide this whole thing.
And the fact that he has stayed out of it really is the reason why I follow his suit.
I follow what the president really wants to do.
And even in me chatting with him about it, and I will never disclose exactly what we talked about, the reason why this is a very consequential seat is because in the Republican primary and Republican runoff, that's pretty right.
People don't want to mess with that.
We've gotten this far by allowing the people to decide, and I want to do the same.
Let them decide.
I think we have about three or four weeks, three weeks until the actual election happens.
And at the end of the day, whoever wins, whoever wins, Everyone in Texas must back the Republican candidate against a James Tallarico who is very dangerous.
So let's go out, let's win, let the people decide, and then we all get behind the winner.
And it's guys like Wesley Hunt, great congressman from Texas, who we're very, very proud to call an ally and a friend on this program, who's always spitting bars.
I hope that you'll join us and Be our full time, if you have any free time, full time Kamala Harris correspondent for the 2028 election because she's now skyrocketing in the polls.
Oh man, your Kamala Harris impression is just one of the best out there.
And so if Saturday Night Live doesn't hire you, we would like to.
She fundraised with a great team that delivered for the president and knows so very much about the instinct of the president and his team and where and how they're deploying their resources to win and to get wins.
Ladies and gentlemen, the wins that we want is for our golden era.
Advantage Gold can deliver a golden era to you.
You could diversify a little bit into precious metals, a great time to do it.
There's a reason why every ensconce in the White House is coated in gold.
And that is because it is a symbol of value for all time.
Gold hit a skyrocketing record for dollars per ounce at the beginning of the year.
Shows real strength in the asset.
It dipped a little bit.
And people are saying this is the dip to buy.
Billionaires are buying, central banks are buying, nation states are buying, you should be buying.
All you have to do is text Benny to 85545 right now.
That's Benny to 85545 right now for Advantage Gold.
You know, it's an honor also to follow Congressman Wesley Hunt.
I'm a big fan of his, but I will say I am disappointed that he has not endorsed in that race.
You know, he was a great member of Congress and he feels so strongly, and I do too, that John Cornyn is horrible, does not deserve a fifth term in the Senate, that he actually left his congressional seat.
And so I really think he should step up and endorse Paxton in the way that Congressman Brandon Gill did, Congressman Troy Nels.
This primary is in.
13 days.
I think it is an incredibly important primary.
Ken Paxton to me represents everything that is MAGA ascendant and what we do want in the Senate.
And so I really, you know, also the way the Corning campaign treated Wesley Hunt in that race was awful.
They doxed him and his family.
They spent millions of dollars lying about the congressman's great record.
And so I hope he will change his mind and come off the sidelines on that one.
And I certainly hope your viewers in Texas remember this runoff, May 19th.
Please go vote for Ken Paxton.
I do not want to have to see a Senator John Cornyn for another six years.
Do you remember when he got booed off stage at the Texas GOP convention?
There were 10,000 Texans primary.
And this is what, you know, Charlie went off at that moment on court and said, if you cannot even walk into a room like that without everyone booing you off stage, you don't deserve a seat.
And that was a big video that we kept.
Replaying of Charlie talking about this because Charlie knew it's times like this that I miss Charlie so much because you better believe Charlie would have been camped out in the Oval Office telling the president, Do not endorse in this race.
And the problem with the GOP establishment is and always has been that they are unwilling to fight when the Democrats were absolutely willing to fight.
You see that manifesting itself in several ways right now.
Let's start with the national GOP in the U.S. Senate.
They are unwilling to nuke the filibuster to get what needs to be passed with Donald Trump's agenda.
It is completely unacceptable because everyone knows that when the Democrats, if and when they were to take all three chambers of government, they have told us they will immediately nuke the filibuster and they will pack the Supreme Court.
They will make D.C. and Puerto Rico states, adding four permanent Democrat senators.
They will legalize 50 million illegal aliens to vote in California and New York and other places.
And Republicans.
Are unwilling to do it.
And that is where the frustration comes.
Now, looking at the redistricting fight, this is something that James Blair, the political operation, Donald Trump have been calling for states to do for one year.
You have Harmite Dillon, who was probably put in that civil rights division place at the DOJ, literally just for this purpose, saying, hey guys, these maps are illegal.
You need to be ready.
The frustrating part is that a lot of these states were not ready for what we all knew was this BRA ruling that was coming.
And we all knew the way, if you watch the oral arguments, you knew which way this was going.
And so in Indiana, They absolutely should have redistricted.
They refused.
And so the president said, I'm going to target these state senators and get them out.
He did.
They had an unbelievable victory.
And there were, you know, credits to President Trump's political operation, credit to Tyler Boyer and the whole team at Turning Point.
Club for Growth played a role.
Scott Pressler was there.
Senator Jim Banks played a big role.
But that was a big victory that is sending a shockwave through the South right now as these states look to redistrict or not.
So when you go to Louisiana, they have a special session starting on Friday.
We have your data up right now that you posted this morning where you're talking through the architecture of how Republicans could absolutely gain 20 seats.
What must be done?
And also, South Carolina, I think that is the huge push right now because we already have, and please correct me if I'm wrong here, but we already have.
Great movement in Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee.
They've decided that they are going to call special sessions.
The problem is that, like, Alabama may go for a 6 1 map versus a 7 0.
Louisiana may go for a 5 1 map versus a 6 0.
That's two seats that we could leave on the table.
So that's why we still need to keep the pressure up.
Alabama is a little bit different.
They are waiting on some legal rulings.
And depending upon those, they're in a legislative session right now to.
Decide, but one of the remedies could be if the court says no, you have to, they may strike back down to a previous map they proposed in 2023, which would be a 6 1.
So it could be outside of their hands, but I really hope that they are able to get to that 7 0 map.
South Carolina has been a challenge, which is frustrating.
That's a ruby red state.
There's no reason to have that district there.
It's clearly unconstitutional.
Now, President Trump had to end up playing a pretty heavy hand there.
Governor, there's been some confusion as to if the governor was going to call a special session.
The governor's point was, well, they are currently in session.
And so today, the House Rules Committee voted 12 2 to amend the sign die agreement to allow for redistricting after the session adjourns next week.
So that is really big.
I think that they saw what happened in Indiana and realized, oh man, like we can't be on the wrong side of this.
And so I think we're going to pick up a seat in South Carolina, it looks like.
And in Tennessee last night, there was some fighting over the map, but it came out today.
It's a big, beautiful map.
Congressman Steve Cohen is gone, and we will have 9 0 and a pickup there.
So maybe you could summarize all of this, Caroline, because you're so close to the president, you're so close to his fundraising operations and the base and what the base.
Wants and demands.
Why is this base in this moment different than other moments?
And my personal take is I think that there are so many Republicans that probably because they've just lost their minds or because they sleep better at night, they think that they're negotiating with Bill Clinton in 1993.
They don't understand what time it is.
They think it's a different Democrat party than the actual party that exists.
And to stare evil in the face, to actually look at Democrats today and acknowledge that you're sharing a country.
With open borders, Marxists who want to mutilate children and potentially kill your children, if you listen to the Attorney General of Virginia, then that's tough.
It's actually blissful to think that it's still Bill Clinton negotiating Medicaid and Medicare.
I mean, they stole the 2020 election for President Trump.
We had four years in the wilderness where we were all.
Investigated, called into January 6 committees, there were Russiagate committees, we were financially ruined, raided by the FBI, you name it.
And during those four years, there was a lot of reflection.
I know certainly that I did, but my reflection on it was we've got to get President Trump back in office.
We will have four years to right all the wrongs that the Biden administration and the left put us through.
And now we are, you know, 18 months into that four year term.
And there's still so much that I feel like the president needs to and wants to accomplish.
We have to help him do it.
And there's no more important fight than the House.
It is so much harder to get these things done unless we have all three branches of government.
The Senate has got to stop blocking with this stupid filibuster rule and protecting the institution.
And they need to protect our country and the president's agenda.
And in the House, we need to fight for every single seat.
When you are up, when your party is in power and you go through a midterm election, historically, they do not go your way.
We've been given a gift that, frankly, is a gift that we never should have even existed.
But with the VRA ruling, It is a gift that we can go back to these maps and redraw, and we are very close to getting to that 218 number.
And God forbid we wake up in November and we are down one seat with Speaker Hakim Jeffries.
And that is because, you know, Louisiana went for a 5 1 map versus 6 0.
So I'm just unwilling to leave any stone unturned right now.
The base should be as well.
We have to go after every single seat that we can grab because we need to give President Trump two more years to get his agenda through and save our country.
It is what we've all worked.
For 10 years to do.
It is all happening right now.
It's why I'm so passionate about this and going to continue to light up every single Southern state governor, state senator, state house member who is not willing to fight in this moment because they put President Trump and his family through so much right now.
And so, you know, over the last four years, and this is the moment to fight.
And so that's why it's an honor to be here with you, Benny.
I know that you are in this fight, your audience is in this fight, and we've got to be here for President Trump.
Well, can we get a round of applause for Kara Kaplan, who is our booker?
I said, let's roll.
Let's just roll today.
Let's just book everyone.
Let's book everyone and everything because we're feeling it.
Listen, my takeaway is pretty simple, pretty obvious.
Siding with the Democrats against President Trump, you betray our party.
You signal to me that you want my neighborhoods to become UN refugee camps and dangerous ghettos, that you want my children to grow up poor and without civil rights or human rights, which is what they want to do to all of us.
You can see it.
You can see it in how they treat Charlie, his widow, his children.
You can see it in how they treat Republican children in Virginia.
You signal to me that you want gender mutilation of innocent, sweet children.
You are now siding against me on a spiritual level.
And that elicits something different.
It's not red versus blue.
It's not Republican versus Democrat.
It's good versus evil.
It's darkness versus light.
And when you align with and ally with darkness, and by the way, I take a step back here, this doesn't mean that President Trump is perfect.
No man is perfect.
I am not saying have blind and complete and total allegiance to any man.
You should only, only have allegiance to Christ.
But you can make the judgments that are required in order to deliver justice as best as we can.
And that's what the rhinos received in Indiana justice.
And that is something that is moral.
We are called to be part of that system.
We are not called to make peace with evil, we're called to destroy evil.
So let's get about doing that, ladies and gentlemen.
The polls today which party will win the Senate?
Ooh, what an unbelievable poll here.
Republicans back on top.
Republicans now favored to win the Senate, but just a point, two points.
Barack Obama lost, I think, 63 seats in his first midterm.
The way that it goes is that the party in charge doesn't tend to win.
We're going to defy that.
We're going to pray.
We're going to stay locked in.
We're going to know why we fight and who we are fighting, and we're going to win, ladies and gentlemen.
We're going to win because God ain't done with America yet.
We know that.
Trump would have eaten a bullet in Butler if he was.
So, ladies and gentlemen, let's stay locked in with our verse of the day.
1 Peter 3 8, finally, all of you be like minded, be sympathetic, love one another, and be compassionate and humble.
Be like minded, right?
Understand who we're fighting, understand the enemy, understand what evil is, and understand that we're going to win by marching together on to victory.
