Mark Levin: The primary is OVER, and Nikki Haley needs to DROP OUT



While it was predicted that Nikki Haley would do well in the New Hampshire primary due to the number of independent voters in the state, former President Donald Trump came out miles ahead.

Mark Levin believes it’s time for Haley to hang up the towel.

“It wasn’t even close; it was enormous,” Levin says of Trump’s win, and he has the stats to back it up.

Not only were more than half of the primary voters not Republicans, but the electorate was even more moderate and liberal than it was in 2016.

64% of the primary voters claimed they were not MAGA, and only 24% of primary voters said they were “very conservative,” compared to 52% in Iowa.

Meanwhile, Haley spent $30 million on campaigning in New Hampshire.

“Despite all of those factors,” Levin says, quoting his friend David Brody, “she lost.”

“She has spent $50 million in two of the smallest states we’ve got. She spent $20 million in Iowa, 95% of the money trying to trash DeSantis because she wanted to come in number two. She failed, she came in number three,” he adds.

Nikki Haley thought she cornered Ron DeSantis on this issue, but his response shut her down immediately



It’s no secret that Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis aren’t exactly cordial. The two candidates are known to go for each other’s throats during debates, and the fourth GOP debate was no exception.

At one point during the debate, Haley attacked DeSantis with the accusation that he didn’t sign a bathroom bill preventing biological males from entering women’s restrooms.

“This shows how hypocritical Ron continues to be. When he was running for governor ... he said he didn't think bathroom bills were a good use of his time,” she fired.

It would’ve been a solid strategic attack if the allegation were true.

But it wasn’t true.

“I signed a bathroom bill in Florida, so that’s obviously not true,” DeSantis laughed as the crowd applauded.

Haley tried to stoke the fire of her attack, but it just didn’t work.

“I signed it; you killed it,” DeSantis continued, accusing Haley of failing to protect girls.

“Ron DeSantis did sign the bathroom bill; she completely made that up,” confirms Dave Rubin, who pulls up the official documentation of the signed bill that prevents biological males from entering female restrooms in Florida.

“Nikki Haley never signed such a bill; so she flat-out lied.”

Megyn Kelly reveals what Christie said to her during debate commercial — then she dishes out the brutal truth



Megyn Kelly is spilling the beans on what happened between her and Chris Christie during Wednesday's Republican debate.

During a debate commercial break, Christie confronted Kelly and the other debate moderators, and it was clear from his body language that Christie was upset about something. Nothing is heard in the video, leading to widespread speculation online.

On Thursday, Kelly confirmed that Christie was upset with her.

"It was not off the record. He was pissed off. He was mad that he wasn't getting enough questions," Kelly revealed.

According to Kelly, she told Christie that he would "be happy" in the second hour of the debate because the moderators were planning to ask him more questions. But she admitted that Christie "was right" that he "had been excluded" in the previous debate segment. That's because the candidates were arguing over one another, which stalled the debate several times.

Still, Kelly defended the decision to give the other candidates more airtime.

"He's polling at 2%! OK? In no debate ever — and I've now done six of them — have we given as many questions to the guy who's at 3% as to the person who's in the lead, at least amongst the candidates on the stage. I'm sorry, Governor Christie. That's the way it is," Kelly said.

Finally, Kelly highlighted how much time each candidate spoke during the debate, observing that Christie received almost the same amount of time as Nikki Haley.

"So I don't want to hear it, frankly. We did right by him. He got a ton of airtime. That's what he was mad about," Kelly said. "I like the guy, but just to break some news on what people speculating on, [the candidates] never like it when they don't get to speak."

Watch: Vivek Ramaswamy RIPS into Nikki Haley over identity politics



The fourth GOP debate had no shortage of drama and theatrics. One notable moment was when Vivek Ramaswamy tore into Nikki Haley for rooting her campaign in identity politics.

He claimed that identity politics has become America’s “new religion that says your race, your gender, and your sexuality are your identity.”

“It’s anti-American; it’s anti-meritocratic,” he said before criticizing the fact that “Nikki Haley's campaign launch video sounded like a woke Dylan Mulvaney Bud Light ad talking about how she would kick in heels” and how “at the first debate, she said that only a woman can get this job done.”

“I reject the use of identity politics in this party; it has been a cancer coming from the left, and I'm sick and tired of the double standards,” he criticized over a mixture of cheering and booing from the audience.

“Amen,” says Sara Gonzales in agreement. “You don't need to be walking around claiming that being a woman gives you some sort of special powers.”

Even if you hate Chris Christie, you have to see this from last night's debate



Overall, Chris Christie has not been taken seriously as a presidential candidate. He’s often the butt of jokes, the subject of viral memes, and the laughingstock of former debates.

However, he did seem to have a shining moment during the fourth GOP debate when he was awarded with applause and cheers of approval from the audience.

Dave Rubin plays the clip when Christie ripped into Vivek Ramaswamy for hurling petty insults at competitor Nikki Haley.

“This is the fourth debate that you would be voted in the first 20 minutes as the most obnoxious blowhard in America, so shut up for a while,” Christie fired as Ramaswamy attempted to interrupt.

But Christie wasn’t even close to finished.

“We’re now 25 minutes into this debate, and he has insulted Nikki Haley’s basic intelligence — not her positions,” Christie continued, referencing Ramaswamy’s former comments that Haley “doesn't know regions” and “wouldn't be able to find something on a map that his 3-year-old could find.”

“Look, if you want to disagree on issues, that’s fine, and Nikki and I disagree on some issues, but I'll tell you this: I've known her for 12 years, which is longer than he's even started to vote in a Republican primary,” Christie said over the laughter of the audience, “and while we disagree about some issues and we disagree about who should be president the United States, what we don't disagree on is this is a smart, accomplished women, and you should stop insulting her.”

Again, the crowd cheered and whooped in obvious support.

“The 12-year line was kind of good,” admits Dave, but he doesn’t think Ramaswamy necessarily insulted Haley’s intelligence by asking her to point out some Ukrainian provinces that she wants to “give hundreds of millions, if not billions, of dollars to.”

Glenn Beck's CLEAR winner of the 4th GOP debate



The RNC’s fourth Republican debate of the 2024 primaries is over, and there was one person who truly stood out as the clear winner.

And it wasn’t one of the candidates.

Glenn Beck was thrilled with Megyn Kelly’s performance as the moderator and believes she was the winner of the fourth debate.

“She was the winner. This was the best debate. She held everybody’s feet to the fire. She asked tough questions. She was fair. She told people, ‘Shut up, nobody can hear you,’ when they were talking over each other, and it ended it,” Glenn explains.

He believes her questions were also incredibly well laid out.

“She was framing all of her questions the way a conservative would want it framed,” Glenn says.

Stu Burguiere is in total agreement, adding that her questions were “substance related,” “actually issue related,” and “policy related.”

“They were important questions that all of the candidates needed to answer,” he adds.

Those candidates being Nikki Haley, Ron DeSantis, Chris Christie, and Vivek Ramaswamy — but not yet Donald Trump, who was a no-show for the fourth time.

“If I were Donald Trump [and] I was this far ahead, I wouldn’t do it either,” Glenn says.

While Trump has not won the primary yet, Glenn and Stu suspect he may.

“If Donald Trump were being tried fairly, he was charged fairly, then it would be a different story. But nobody, most people don’t feel that this is anything but a political trial,” Glenn explains, adding, “Every time you go after him, you make him stronger.”

Megyn Kelly's biggest WINNER and LOSER of the 4th Republican debate



There was a clear winner at the fourth 2024 Republican presidential debate in Glenn Beck’s eyes, and it wasn’t any of the candidates.

According to Glenn, moderator Megyn Kelly was “the big winner” as she stood her ground, asked tough questions, and “ran a tight ship.”

“You did a fantastic job last night,” he tells Kelly, who has her own idea of who the winners and losers were.

“With all respect to her, I thought Nikki Haley lost last night,” Kelly tells Glenn. “She shrunk away, like she was not really a presence.”

Vivek Ramaswamy didn’t win, but he did well. However, Kelly believes that while he did not gain any new fans, he became “even more loveable” to those who already loved him.

The clear winner in Kelly’s eyes was Ron DeSantis, who she says “had his best debate yet.”

“I think you could probably say he’s the winner because he’s in the best poll position of the four, and he not only didn’t hurt himself, although there was one bad exchange, he didn’t hurt himself. He did help himself,” she explains, adding, “He was tougher than we’ve seen, and I think that’s the DeSantis we fell in love with.”

Chris Christie was another loser, who Kelly says is “too radical” on the issue of transgenderism to be a Republican nominee.

“This is way out of step with where the Republican party is,” she says.

Glenn notes that when Chris Christie attempted to defend Nikki Haley, “it did not look good” for her.

“I thought it made her look weak, and she’s not a weak woman,” Glenn says.

“It was her lowest moment,” Kelly agrees.
