| 0:00.0 | I think it's ridiculous. I think it's unacceptable. I think it's un-American. |
| 0:03.8 | And it's an over-politicization of what should be an area of compromise. |
| 0:08.1 | We should be working together with the member of the Armed Services Committee. |
| 0:10.4 | And Hegset and Trump should be focused on our enemies in Iran instead of members of Congress that should be on their side and working together. Again, Paul, that we have, because now we've got all polls closed. |
| 0:35.2 | As I said, two time zones in Indiana. |
| 0:37.1 | So some of them closed at 6 o'clock Eastern. We've got more counted than the ones that just |
| 0:41.2 | closed here just within the past 10 minutes. Excuse me. We'll see if we're able to make any calls. |
| 0:47.5 | The four that you're looking at here, there are seven total. Right now, you have one of them |
| 0:52.4 | with very little of the vote in. You do have the incumbent |
| 0:56.8 | ahead. In three of the others, the Trump Challenger is ahead. Extremely tight, though, |
| 1:03.6 | in one of those. And again, there's so few in that it's very hard to know if this is actually |

| 1:11.2 | Here's what we know. This is the first battle in the war for the future of the Republican Party. |
| 1:16.5 | This is a party struggling to define itself. It's going to be a war between the moderates and |
