The price of bitcoin, the Worlds Largest cryptocurrency , has hit an all time high. It surged to more than 69,000 dollars, before dropping back down. Trading in bitcoin is notoriously volatile. The previous record high was in november 2021. Welcome to the programme. If you are justjoining, its Super Tuesday the polls are open in 15 states and one us territory as republicans and democrats make their decision about who they want as their president ial candidate the results are baked in donald trump and joe biden will be the winners. But the primaries and the exit polls come from them may give us crucial insight into how the voters feel eight months out from the election. These are the states that will vote on Super Tuesday, there is also a democratic primary in the us territory of american samoa. Neither biden nor trump will be able to win enough delegates to secure the nomination today, that is providing nikki haley stays in the race. The republican side of the ledger is more interesting. The winning candidate needs 1,215 delegates to capture the nomination. A clean sweep, as forecast by the polls, would put donald trump within touching distance. We could be into the general election proper, as early as next week, though in all honesty donald trump has been in that mode, perhaps since august. Crooked joe will not succeed with his plans, and he will not get away with these crimes, and they are crimes, he will be tried at the ballot boxes in november and he will be judged and convicted by the american people. Bryan la nza. What are you looking for tonight . Blow anything short of that is quite frankly a major disappointment. Nikki haley, shes almost not even running for president any more. Biden is consolidating the Republican Party. Sure, he is not at 100 , but he wasnt at 100 in 2016, i expect to blow out tonight, another one, i might add. And i expect to blow out tonight, another one, i might add. And on the democrat side another one, i might add. And on the democrat side of another one, i might add. And on the democrat side of the another one, i might add. And on the democrat side of the ticket . Another one, i might add. And on the democrat side of the ticket . Of democrat side of the ticket . Of biden is the nominee, he has been for months biden is the nominee, he has been for months and months and months, ust for months and months and months, just like for months and months and months, just like trump. We have had the general just like trump. We have had the general election for the better part of This General Election for the better part of this year. It will be a biden trump of this year. It will be a biden trump match up, but i think for trump, trump match up, but i think for trump, i trump match up, but i think for trump, i would say its really interesting to me, to cut it to brian interesting to me, to cut it to brian and interesting to me, to cut it to brian and everybody, the trump team went out brian and everybody, the trump team went out and got a hold of the republican infrastructure, they got a hold republican infrastructure, they got a hold of republican infrastructure, they got a hold of the state and national parties. A hold of the state and national parties, and the blow out brian is looking parties, and the blow out brian is looking for parties, and the blow out brian is looking for tonight is because they changed looking for tonight is because they changed the rules in a lot of these primaries changed the rules in a lot of these primaries. Its winner take all. So he will primaries. Its winner take all. So he will come up short tonight, but he will come up short tonight, but he is he will come up short tonight, but he is still he will come up short tonight, but he is still the nominee for a long time he is still the nominee for a long time and he is still the nominee for a long time and will face off against joe biden time and will face off against joe biden. The question for trump is, in these biden. The question for trump is, in these blow biden. The question for trump is, in these blow out primaries and caucuses, these blow out primaries and caucuses, hes had kind of a ceiling, caucuses, hes had kind of a ceiling, and we have known that all along ceiling, and we have known that all along hes ceiling, and we have known that all along. Hes been winning by 60 had a 90 in along. Hes been winning by 60 had a 90 in these contests which look so impressive, 90 in these contests which look so impressive, the Turnout Itself hasnt impressive, the Turnout Itself hasnt been terrific, and the last point hasnt been terrific, and the last point i hasnt been terrific, and the last point i would make is i feel like they point i would make is i feel like they are point i would make is i feel like they are preparing to contest the loss, they are preparing to contest the loss, because you get them talking about loss, because you get them talking about biden all the time and how old he is committed he loses, he was a how can he is committed he loses, he was a how can i he is committed he loses, he was a how can i lose to this guy . This past how can i lose to this guy . This past weekend in North Carolina and virginia, past weekend in North Carolina and virginia, i past weekend in North Carolina and virginia, i came the signs that say too big virginia, i came the signs that say too big to virginia, i came the signs that say too big to brag and they are contesting Voter Registration and a lot of contesting Voter Registration and a lot of key contesting Voter Registration and a lot of key states. It doesnt look with a lot of key states. It doesnt look with a confident by the trump team they are with a confident by the trump team they are going into the general election they are going into the general election. , they are going into the general election. ,. , election. Nikki haley has not siunalled election. Nikki haley has not signalled yet election. Nikki haley has not signalled yet what election. Nikki haley has not signalled yet what she election. Nikki haley has notj signalled yet what she wants election. Nikki haley has not i signalled yet what she wants to election. Nikki haley has not signalled yet what she wants to do after Super Tuesday. There is no add spending past today. This is what she had to send me to the press on sunday. Have a listen to this. I will get your reaction off the back. Let me try it this way, you did sign a pledge, an rnc pledge to support the eventual nominee. Do you still feel bound by that pledge . I have always said that i have serious concerns about donald trump. I have even more concerns aboutjoe biden. So is that a no . Are you bound by the rnc pledge . The rnc pledge, i mean, at the time of the debate, we had to take it to where would you support that nominee, and you had to come. I order to get on that debate stage, you said yes. Does it matter what she does tomorrow or over the course of the next eight months . Tomorrow or over the course of the next eight months . Ive known nikki for 15 years, wondering next eight months . Ive known nikki for 15 years, wondering why she next eight months . Ive known nikki for 15 years, wondering why she is i for 15 years, wondering why she is still in the race. She says shes doing it in order to give people a choice, and i get that except they are not choosing her. She says she wants to sort of remind people who donald trump is. They already know. Donald trump is. They already know. Donald trump is. They already know. Donald trump and joe biden are two of the most well known politicians in the last 50 years in this country. We are hard pressed to see why she is still in. I guess the best theory i have heard, christian, is somehow, if something happens to donald trump, then magically nikki haley would automatically become the republican nominee. Thats not how our system works. If donald trump has the delegates to be the nominee, he is going to be the nominee. If he gets hit by an asteroid, nikki haley doesnt win thereafter by default. It is starting to look a little bit like an ego play. Its starting to look like something that is different than a primary. This actually some folks on the right who wonder if shes trying to helpjoe biden. Keep in mind the democrats want her to stay in the race as long as she possibly can because shes attacking donald trump, which is the same thing that they would do. A lot of us are hoping she gets out tomorrow morning early and my guess is that that is what is going to happen. Is that that is what is going to ha en. Is that that is what is going to ha en. , , happen. The most interesting thing tomorrow morning happen. The most interesting thing tomorrow morning will happen. The most interesting thing tomorrow morning will be happen. The most interesting thing tomorrow morning will be these happen. The most interesting thing | tomorrow morning will be these exit polls. We will get a fairly good steer what a large section of the electorate really thinks about the state of the economy, but Foreign Policy, about immigration, and also how many of them are enthused by this race because according to the polls we have seen so far, there is only around 30 of the country who wants this rematch. I only around 30 of the country who wants this rematch. Only around 3096 of the country who wants this rematch. Wants this rematch. I think no matter what wants this rematch. I think no matter what side wants this rematch. I think no matter what side you wants this rematch. I think no matter what side you are wants this rematch. I think no matter what side you are or. Matter what side you are or democrat, i dont think anyone can say democrat, idont think anyone can say they democrat, i dont think anyone can say they are democrat, i dont think anyone can say they are excited about the prospect say they are excited about the prospect of a donald trump joe say they are excited about the prospect of a Donald Trumpjoe biden rematch prospect of a Donald Trumpjoe biden rematch. Nobody is enthusiastic about rematch. Nobody is enthusiastic about that. Thats part of the reason about that. Thats part of the reason why you are seeing lower turnout reason why you are seeing lower turnout in reason why you are seeing lower turnout in these primaries, because voters turnout in these primaries, because voters are turnout in these primaries, because voters are just not enthused enough to show voters are just not enthused enough to show up voters are just not enthused enough to show up at the primary. I think that will to show up at the primary. I think that will have a decent turnout in november, no matter who ends up being november, no matter who ends up being on november, no matter who ends up being on the ballot here. But there are reasons being on the ballot here. But there are reasons by both sides really, disenchanted with each side. They are democrats who arent happy with president are democrats who arent happy with President Biden particularly over his handling of The Middle East crisis his handling of The Middle East crisis. There are a large segment of republican crisis. There are a large segment of republican voters, 2030 you are not happy republican voters, 2030 you are not happy with republican voters, 2030 you are not happy with donald trump. 20 or 30 is been happy with donald trump. 20 or 30 is been voting for nikki haley in the primaries. At the end of the day, the primaries. At the end of the day, we the primaries. At the end of the day, we will see what the impact of these day, we will see what the impact of these blow day, we will see what the impact of these blow out races for both biden and trump these blow out races for both biden and trump are on those disaffected voters and trump are on those disaffected voters within the Party Primary process voters within the Party Primary process whether they choose to show up, whether they sit this one out, whether up, whether they sit this one out, whether they skip to the top of the ballot whether they skip to the top of the ballot and whether they skip to the top of the ballot and vote down, that is going to be ballot and vote down, that is going to be part ballot and vote down, that is going to be part of the formula that determines who is going to win this race between biden and trump stop at the best race between biden and trump stop at the best news for you, brian, is that the best news for you, brian, is that he the best news for you, brian, is that he is the best news for you, brian, is that he is on the ballot, thanks to the Supreme Court running yesterday. Off the back of that, he did give a statement, lets have a listen to what he statement, lets have a listen to what he said about the legal case is pending by the way, maga, make America Great again, the greatest movement in the history of our countrv they always trying to demean, well, maga really represents 48 of the Republican Party. No, it represents 96 and maybe 100 . Were getting rid of the romneys of the world. We want to get romneys and those out. But they know that we are the only ones who can stop them. Were the only ones. That is not the clip i was expecting, but i think what we should talk about, given that we have played it is what he said on the weekend in virginia. It is one thing to attack the candidates commits another to attack the voters of that candidate. Does he really not want those who are not maga who might vote for mitt romney . I think at this point trump is an entertaining person from it entertains that he is, it entertains the crowd. Theres talk of this 30 anti trump boat, but the reality is we have these numbers demonstrated in 2016 and helped elect President Trump in november. So is entertaining, people can talk about it, there is a proven history of the anti trump and never trump vote actually voting for trump and the 2016 election and it did have a positive impact. We prefer he not say it. It sounds very similar to what hilary said about trump voters being deplorable. Dont insult the voters. But at the end of the day, people go to these rallies to be entertained and i heard a lot of people laughing. Entertained and i heard a lot of peeple laughing entertained and i heard a lot of people laughing. They laugh along, but what we people laughing. They laugh along, but what we hear people laughing. They laugh along, but what we hear from people laughing. They laugh along, but what we hear from the but what we hear from the campaign is that they are trying to rein in some of this. And they might because its one to rent a primary. Now were into the heat of the general election are we probably will be by the end of next week. Does he need change some of the emphasis . He already is, christian. We saw his winning already is, christian. We saw his winning speech the night of the Iowa Caucuses winning speech the night of the Iowa Caucuses. Very conciliatory. This chain caucuses. Very conciliatory. This chain was caucuses. Very conciliatory. This chain was true in michigan a couple of weeks chain was true in michigan a couple of weeks back. It was not in new hampshire. It was in South Carolina as well, hampshire. It was in South Carolina as well, it hampshire. It was in South Carolina as well, it wasnt in new hampshire, but knowing as well, it wasnt in new hampshire, but knowing the man is a due come i think but knowing the man is a due come i think he but knowing the man is a due come i think he was but knowing the man is a due come i think He Wasjust Upset but knowing the man is a due come i think he was just upset that but knowing the man is a due come i think He Wasjust Upset that nikki haley think He Wasjust Upset that nikki haley went on stage before he did to pretend haley went on stage before he did to pretend like she had one and went off script pretend like she had one and went off script as a result of that. Sol think off script as a result of that. Sol think he off script as a result of that. Sol think he knows he needs to pull the party think he knows he needs to pull the party back think he knows he needs to pull the party back together. Bryan is right. Primaries party back together.
