00:00:32.000Closely watched for the past few months and up until last night, neck and neck.
00:00:38.000But just shortly before I went live a moment ago, the official mainstream media called the election for the Republican in the race, Youngkin, who is a former private equity firm manager and now is the governor elect of the state of Virginia.
00:00:59.000Also, Republican won the race for lieutenant governor of the state, too.
00:01:04.000This is a big deal because, as you know, the state of Virginia has gone blue in the last two elections.
00:01:12.000And of course, last year there was a lot of cheating, but officially, Donald Trump failed to win Virginia not once but twice.
00:01:20.000And Virginia was lost statewide for Republicans in the last few elections for senator, for governor.
00:01:31.000A lot of people thought that Virginia is a blue state.
00:01:34.000Some would argue it's still purple, but I. Essentially, view it as a blue state.
00:01:41.000And just one year after Donald Trump officially lost Virginia a year ago, now a Republican who, while not a hardcore nationalist or populist or anything resembling Trump, didn't disavow Trump.
00:01:56.000He still was able to win the race and actually carried Virginia with more white voters than Donald Trump did, surprisingly.
00:02:10.000But I've got some things to say about it.
00:02:11.000I have a little bit of a different take than a lot of people.
00:02:14.000I see many are celebrating and they're pointing to the fact that, in particular, this race was about education.
00:02:22.000That seemed to be the main issue because, and I've heard this from people I know and I've also read this education is a very important issue in Virginia, specifically in Northern Virginia.
00:02:34.000And education became a focal point of this race because the state of Virginia had one of the most brutal lockdowns.
00:02:43.000COVID lockdowns out of any state, and that affected in particular primary and secondary school.
00:02:50.000And also, Virginia is one of the worst states for so called critical race theory, as well as integration of transgenders.
00:02:59.000And that big story, which was in the news a few weeks ago about that transgender girl, male to female person who raped a girl, which was covered up and then exposed, that happened in Virginia.
00:03:15.000And recently, there was a debate between the two candidates for governor, and that seemed to be one of the bigger issues, which was whether or not parents have a right to control the curriculum that their own children are being taught in public schools.
00:03:29.000So, education was a focal point of the race.
00:03:32.000And of course, in this year, especially this year, the education debates were focused on things like critical race theory, COVID, all the major flashpoint cultural issues that we talk about on the show.
00:03:46.000And it just so happened that when the race was made about those cultural issues, the Republican won.
00:03:56.000And then the other thing that we have to talk about, and anyway, that's why a lot of people are celebrating.
00:04:01.000They're saying this is an indication that the left's cultural agenda is not winning anymore.
00:04:06.000If in a purple state, really arguably a blue state like Virginia, if they're getting killed on issues like that, that goes to show how deeply unpopular they are.
00:04:17.000So it can be seen as a referendum, not just on the state of the Democratic Party and Joe Biden, but also particularly these cultural issues, then it's a very good indicator for.
00:04:30.000That being said, another important factor about the race is Youngkin, the candidate, his character and his MO compared to Donald Trump.
00:04:39.000A lot of people are pointing out, and I've read this in The Atlantic and I read this in The New York Times and a few other publications analyzing the race Youngkin is like a Trump light.
00:04:50.000That's what they're saying about him, that at least that's what the commentary class calls him, in the sense that he is right wing, sufficiently right wing on enough of the issues.
00:05:00.000But not as outrageous and not as strongly nationalistic.
00:05:05.000He's a little bit more of a mainstream conservative.
00:05:09.000He accepted the Trump endorsement, but he didn't want to be seen with Trump or didn't want to be identified necessarily with Trump.
00:05:18.000And so that's an important factor in the race because this is something where, you know, just like people are going to look at Youngkin's victory and say that is an indicator about where the constituency, where the voters stand on education and cultural issues.
00:05:35.000That youngkin is sort of a retreat, a walk back from where Donald Trump was.
00:05:41.000I'm sure a lot of people are going to get the impression that if Republicans want to succeed, they have to do something similar, that maybe embracing Trump 100% or being Trump himself might not be the future.
00:05:54.000And I don't know if that's necessarily the right takeaway.
00:05:59.000So we'll talk about that too and about elections in general.
00:06:02.000I mean, this was pointed out by Andrew Anglin earlier tonight.
00:06:06.000The other thing is, a big Republican victory like this is going to restore a lot of people's confidence in elections and voting, which isn't necessarily a good thing.
00:06:22.000But I'll just say, you know, on the one hand, we want Republicans to succeed because, particularly for people that live in the state of Virginia, we want the mask mandate lifted and we want young kids to be taught the right curriculum and so on.
00:06:36.000But at the same time, If Republicans are sort of lulled back into complacency because they see they got the outcome that they wanted in one or two races, are we just back for the ride in 2022?
00:06:51.000We're just getting right back on the ride.
00:06:53.000I mean, think about what happened in 2020.
00:06:55.000They stole the election, and it was not an insignificant thing.
00:07:00.000I mean, they stole the election in 2020.
00:07:03.000They stole a national election for the presidency in six states.
00:07:12.000And the mail in ballots were part of it, the whole deal.
00:07:16.000And are Republicans eager just one year later now to just get right back in line for the ride and do it all over again in 2022 and 2024 when there's been no meaningful change?
00:07:28.000In Virginia, they have the same election laws in place that they did one year ago.
00:07:32.000And are Republicans really willing to say, oh, 2022 is going to be great for us?
00:07:38.0002022, we still have to resolve what happened last year.
00:07:42.000And I fear that people have a short attention span.
00:07:45.000And too much of this, too many of these victories, is going to alter the course of the Republican Party, where maybe we were headed towards total loss of faith in the system, total loss of legitimacy for the system, and now we're being steered back towards a conventional way of doing things.
00:08:11.000We'll also be talking tonight about Minnesota.
00:08:14.000Where a referendum was voted down by the people, specifically in Minneapolis, to abolish the police.
00:08:22.000So, if you remember, George Floyd died a year and a half ago in Minneapolis, and that started the whole BLM riots and everything last summer.
00:08:32.000And since then, in the city of Minneapolis, there has been this proposal being prepared to actually get rid of the police.
00:08:39.000You know, in response to the George Floyd death, the call to action from BLM and from the left was not just to.
00:08:46.000Defund the police and take away their money, but to get rid of the police, completely disband the police as an organization.
00:08:53.000And so they came out with a real proposal.
00:08:56.000And the proposal is get rid of the police and replace it with this public safety commission.
00:09:04.000And so if a criminal goes out and commits a nonviolent offense, in most cases, when someone calls 911, they will send out a psychologist.
00:10:31.000It's all murders, carjackings, and it's all being committed by black people.
00:10:36.000So, you know, a year after George Floyd died and everybody said abolish the police, now there's a crime wave being perpetrated by black people in the city.
00:10:46.000So I'm sure a lot of people are asking for the police back and they're saying, you know, I don't know, maybe it's time to revise what we thought about George Floyd.
00:11:42.000But Wallsby talking about that should be a pretty good show.
00:11:46.000Before we get into all of that, just a reminder to follow me on this platform.

00:12:11.000Very useful feature because sometimes you don't really know when it starts.
00:12:49.000Actually, this weekend, and I'll be in New York all throughout next week.
00:12:52.000I'll still be doing the show, but I'll be in New York City all throughout next week.
00:12:57.000We'll be doing some anti vaccine activism, which will culminate in an anti vaccine rally, not this weekend, but the following weekend.
00:13:04.000And I'll give you some more details on that, I think, on Thursday later this week.
00:13:09.000So I'll be announcing our brand new streamers, should be Thursday or Friday, and their channels will go live on Saturday.
00:13:17.000And I'll also be announcing the details for our upcoming New York City anti vaccine rally.
00:13:23.000Like I said, which will not be this weekend, but the following weekend.
00:13:27.000And I'll give you all the details very soon.
00:13:29.000We're going to be down there on the ground and we're going to be shooting a lot of content, maybe some of it live, but mostly we're going to just try and get in there and protest vaccine mandate cards as well as maybe masks.
00:13:41.000I mean, we're going to see what we find there.
00:13:43.000But I will be doing the show live over there.
00:14:16.000The race was just called a little while ago.
00:14:18.000Although they're reluctant to call it, I noticed that some mainstream news sources are not calling it.
00:14:24.000They're saying they're not going to call it for a long time because they still have to count all these.
00:14:29.000Mail in ballots and you know, I get a little bit of PTSD just thinking about it.
00:14:34.000Honestly, when they say that, when they say, Oh, we're not gonna call it because anything could happen and there's still ballots to count.
00:14:44.000I just think about last year, November 3rd.
00:14:47.000It's November 2nd, so tomorrow's a one year anniversary of November 3rd, the 2020 election.
00:14:57.000And I remember I watched it in real time, I went off the air.
00:15:01.000When I thought that Trump had it in the bag, and he did, he had a mathematically secure pathway to victory.
00:15:09.000You know, as far as the swing states went, like Wisconsin, Michigan, Georgia, Pennsylvania, he had an advantage that was mathematically impossible for Joe Biden to overcome.
00:15:21.000Should have been mathematically impossible.
00:15:24.000I went off the air, I shut down my set, I changed out of my clothes, I jumped into bed, you know, I was ready to sleep, and then I checked my phone, and boom ballot dump in Milwaukee.
00:16:46.000Poorly written, but this is the only write up that exists right now.
00:16:50.000It says Decision desk has projected that Republican Glenn, I think I called him Greg earlier, Glenn, Glenn Youngkin will win the highly contentious Virginia gubernatorial race and become the state's next governor.
00:17:03.000President Joe Biden had won the state by 10 points, 10 points in 2020, last year.
00:17:10.000Though it was considered purple, it has trended towards Democrats for the last decade.
00:17:15.000Polls had shown that the race was exceptionally close to the point where the winner was anyone's guess.
00:17:21.000On the eve of the election, McAuliffe and Youngkin were tied in a dead heat.
00:17:26.000Winsome Sears has also been projected to win the Virginia lieutenant gubernatorial election.
00:17:32.000Some expected that the race may not be called for several days, especially after Fairfax County announced that they would not be meeting their self imposed 8 p.m. deadline for reporting its early vote ballots.
00:17:43.000The race gained national attention as it was being referred to as the bellwether for the midterms.
00:17:49.000Youngkin had focused heavily on the education system, championing parents' rights and promising to And critical race theory teaching on his first day in office.
00:17:59.000He said in a rally over the weekend, We know in our heart it's wrong.
00:18:04.000Dr. Martin Luther King implored us to judge one another based on the content of our character and not the color of our skin.
00:18:16.000And I love to hear that from a Republican.
00:18:19.000He says, Therefore, day one, I will ban critical race theory in our schools.
00:18:25.000I mean, I don't love the MLK stuff, and I don't like that he's attacking the concept of race as opposed to anti white prejudice, but it is a positive development that this is being talked about.
00:21:27.000But that's really besides the point, at least for this election, because we got the result that we wanted, or maybe we were supposed to want.
00:21:35.000I'll say in the first place, and this is what everybody seems to be saying.
00:21:40.000Obviously, this election was closely watched, and that's because it's an indicator for where public sentiment is.
00:21:47.000This is one of the most contentious races that has happened since Joe Biden became president, and this is always the case.
00:21:55.000It's always the case that a special election or a runoff election, or typically the first election in an off year after a president is inaugurated, that is usually looked at as a good sign of what the performance of the incumbent will look like in their re election, as well as What their performance will look like, or their party's performance will look like in the midterms.
00:22:18.000For example, back in December 2017, there was that special election in Alabama Senate for Jeff Sessions' seat.
00:22:28.000That was December 2017, a little bit more than a year after Donald Trump won the election.
00:22:33.000And Doug Jones won in a landslide, crushed.
00:22:40.000And I think there was some fakery going on.
00:22:43.000I'm sure there was rigging involved in that too, but it was unprecedented historic black turnout.
00:22:48.000And as a consequence, then, you know, people saw that and they said that's a bellwether for what the midterms will look like.
00:22:53.000And in 2018, Republicans got destroyed.
00:22:56.000You know, they lost the House, barely held on to the Senate, they lost seats that they really should have won.
00:23:03.000And so, similarly, people look at this race in Virginia.
00:23:06.000And, two, I should also add, people looked at the Virginia, I think it was either the senator or governor's race a year after Trump was elected, and the Democrat won in that race.
00:23:18.000So that was similar even for the Trump election.
00:23:23.000But so people look at this race and they see it's the first contentious one.
00:23:26.000And it is arguably still a swing state, a purple state, a little bit less than a year after Joe Biden has been inaugurated.
00:23:34.000And they say this is going to give us our first glimpse, this is our first idea of where voters are at before the midterms next year.
00:23:43.000And it's a reflection of how Joe Biden's performing now.
00:23:47.000You know, it's a reflection on are these approval ratings legitimate?
00:23:52.000And especially in a state like Virginia, where Joe Biden won by 10 points, kind of tells us something about the electorate.
00:23:58.000So, You know, obviously, this is a good sign then.
00:24:02.000If the Republican is able to overcome in a state that Joe Biden won by 10 points, that should be reason, you know, according to the conventional wisdom, that Republicans should be optimistic going into 2022.
00:24:17.000And this is a purple state, which is trending blue.
00:24:21.000And it just so happens to be a state where the D.C. metro area is getting bigger and bigger.
00:24:25.000Those suburbs in Virginia are the D.C. suburbs.
00:24:32.000When we talked about the ISIS threat, the Virginia suburbs in Northern Virginia, that's the D.C. suburbs.
00:24:38.000And the reason why that matters is because D.C. is the one of, if not the most liberal cities in America.
00:24:48.000And of course, in particular, D.C. is a city that cares very strongly about this new sort of political cleavage, which is not necessarily between conservatives and liberals, but between populists and the establishment.
00:25:41.000They're all creatures of the government.
00:25:43.000Even to the extent that they are conservative or might be sympathetic to conservatives, they're creatures of D.C., they're creatures of the system itself.
00:25:51.000This is the capital of the empire we're talking about.
00:25:56.000That's why the dynamic is a little different in Virginia.
00:25:59.000So it's a good sign for Republicans, not just that they won a state that Joe Biden won last year by 10 points, again, according to the official results, but also.
00:26:09.000It's an interesting sign because of what that means, maybe, about how Youngkin campaigned versus how Trump campaigned and his MO versus Trump's and his political identity, you know, how he identifies as a candidate.
00:26:26.000I will say the other benefit or the other positive is not just that Republicans won here, and this is what everybody's talking about, but it's the issues that Republicans won on in Virginia.
00:26:38.000Like this article says, and this is the chatter.
00:26:41.000Youngkin ran on education and specifically against the mask mandates, a lockdown of the schools, but also against critical race theory and the liberal curriculum being taught in schools.
00:26:54.000I guess you could say also, and this goes hand in hand with that, he campaigned on school choice, that parents should be able to have a say in their child's curriculum.
00:27:04.000And so it's not just a referendum on Joe Biden and the Democrats and all that, but it's also a reflection of, in particular, the culture wars.
00:27:13.000And how unpopular their agenda is, how unpopular the left wing cultural agenda is at this point.
00:27:19.000It seems like conservatives are winning the argument when it comes to CRT, and also, I think, arguably, when it comes to the mask mandate.
00:27:27.000If they made this, if the Republicans made this campaign, made this election about CRT and masks, and they won in a trending blue state, that should tell you something about where the whole American electorate is at.
00:27:40.000It's not just Democrats that are unpopular, it's not just Joe Biden after 10 months in that's unpopular, but in particular, they are losing the American electorate on these issues, where maybe if The campaign were made about health care or about climate change or about something else, maybe the result would have been different.
00:28:00.000This election was about these cultural issues, and Republicans won.
00:28:05.000If Republicans run on cultural issues like this, I think they would have greater success.
00:28:11.000The conventional wisdom for my entire life has been that Republicans, at least my adult life, has been that Republicans lost the culture war five or ten years ago, and so we just can't play those issues anymore.
00:28:40.000The politics is downstream from the culture.
00:28:42.000And if you run on an issue where we've been defeated, you're going to look like some religious nut job or you'll look like some, I don't know, 20th century rube, and it's political suicide.
00:28:56.000Now, while that's the conventional wisdom, I don't know that that's ever actually been backed up.
00:30:33.000You know, I said exactly that like two or three weeks ago, and I believe that's what transpired here, which is to say that Youngkin did not run, even though he ran as a Moderate candidate, compared to Trump at least, he didn't run on the usual platform of tax cuts and pro business and the usual Republican issues like pro life and Second Amendment.
00:30:57.000He ran on these frontline cultural issues, CRT, mask mandate, and he crushed.
00:31:04.000That should tell people that Republicans do, I believe, represent the silent majority in a lot of these states and maybe the country overall.
00:31:13.000So this should be, I think that's a good thing.
00:31:17.000And overall, that means that this election is a very positive development if it's going to push the party in that direction.
00:31:24.000People see here's a white guy who's private equity, so he's not technically a political guy, but I don't know if I would necessarily call him an outsider.
00:31:36.000But nevertheless, here's a handsome white man who is not really part of the political establishment, and he comes in and he runs on cultural issues and wins.
00:31:49.000I think that if it wasn't proven by Trump, that should destroy anybody who's still arguing that the Republican Party needs to become more liberal or pander more to minorities or run more blacks or women or something.
00:32:01.000I think that should kind of tell you the model that works here.
00:32:05.000Let's find white businessmen who are not in politics and have them run all across the country on a cultural agenda.
00:32:52.000And I don't know that there's any, I don't think there's any constituency for never Trump, but if they represent at the extreme end of it, people that think that Trumpism failed or that we have to go back to the old way of doing things, you know, clearly they were proven wrong.
00:33:25.000Donald Trump said for his voters to go out in Virginia and vote for Youngkin in the governor's race.
00:33:32.000But if you were paying attention, Youngkin made a very deliberate choice to keep his distance from Trump and never appeared alongside him and never wanted to get too close to him and didn't even want his proxies and surrogates on the campaign trail with him.
00:33:48.000And he avoided talking about Trump and avoided getting into the contentious issues about Trump.
00:33:56.000And in this race, I could see why he did that because, you know, the Democrat here, Terry McAuliffe, he was trying to make the race all about Trump and trying to convince people because Trump lost in the state twice, officially.
00:34:09.000He was trying to convince voters that Youngkin was Trump too, or he was part of Trumpism or something.
00:34:15.000That never really played well because Youngkin maintained that distance.
00:34:20.000So, you know, arguably that strategy worked.
00:34:24.000Youngkin did not embrace Trump and did not embrace Trumpism.
00:34:28.000Like I said earlier, he embraced something softer.
00:34:30.000I don't know that I would call him necessarily a totally mainstream Republican, but certainly he ran as a moderate.
00:34:36.000I don't think he's going to govern as a Trumpist.
00:34:38.000He's not going to govern as a nationalist or a conservative.
00:34:42.000And so he kind of ran getting support from the Trump movement without really giving anything to the Trump movement.
00:34:52.000You know, he ran with the support of Donald Trump himself and certainly with the help of the MAGA movement with Trump voters.
00:34:59.000That probably wouldn't have voted for him if he were anti Trump, but without really reciprocating any of that.
00:35:06.000Again, without the Trump policies, without embracing Trump as a person.
00:35:12.000And I sort of have mixed feelings about that because, you know, if his victory sends a message to Republicans that you should run on cultural issues like Youngkin did, does his victory also indicate to other Republicans that you should not embrace Trumpism?
00:35:30.000That the future may be somebody like Ron DeSantis or Josh Hawley or, God forbid, Marco Rubio or something like that?
00:35:39.000How many people are going to look at this race and say, see?
00:35:43.000This guy won because he didn't have the mean tweets and the antics of Donald Trump, and he wasn't divisive and he wasn't a nationalist.
00:35:51.000Here's a guy that ran as a moderate Republican and he threaded the needle, and he pulled off a win in purple Virginia, blue Virginia.
00:36:00.000Because if that's the takeaway, that's very problematic.
00:36:05.000This is what a lot of people have been arguing now, really, I would say, since before Trump even left office, which is that the Republican Party has to return to normal.
00:36:16.000In the future, the party has to embrace the good parts of Trumpism without the bad parts, or even Trump himself.
00:36:24.000People are saying we need Trumpism without Trump.
00:36:27.000And that means something like the new Cold War with China, which arguably Trump contributed to this new consensus being formed on that.
00:36:37.000The Trump policies on tax cuts, some of the Trump policies on immigration, the Trump tax cuts, the Trump support for Israel, but without the racism.
00:36:49.000Without the outsider antagonism against the elites, without the vitriol against the media, without, in a word, all the good things, all the things that made Trump so effective, all the things that made Trump a true revolutionary.
00:37:06.000They're saying we want to take the model that Trump used to win, but fill it up with the mannerisms and the policies of Mitt Romney, fill it up with anything that can be said all day long on Fox News or written in National Review.
00:37:24.000And that is probably the greatest threat to the country is that if the Republican Party is not able to become a vehicle for American nationalism, if it is taken over by actors that are fundamentally not revolutionary, Trumpism without Trump, that is going to abort what is supposed to be an American revolution, a true American regime change, in the sense that, you know, what Donald Trump should have been as a stepping stone,
00:37:55.000A prefiguration of a true nationalist populist uprising, which would build up something that challenges not just the Democratic Party, but the whole system, the Republican and the Democratic Party.
00:38:08.000And building up an army, a whole party, a vanguard that could replace everybody in the government.
00:38:24.000It's not that Trump's going to win again and serve four years and Finish the wall and things like that.
00:38:31.000But the Trumpism would be a precursor to a real movement, a real vanguard that's going to transition this country and transition the GOP into sort of this new era, turn the GOP again into a vehicle for a truly revolutionary movement.
00:38:48.000And then that vehicle taking over the government and transitioning the government from this hostile globalist elite to a new class of rulers that are patriots and real conservatives.
00:39:02.000The biggest, so if that's our only opportunity, the biggest threat then to the country is that the Republican Party slips from the grasp of the revolutionaries and falls back into the hands of the system.
00:39:15.000If the revolutionaries can't control the Democratic Party or the Republican Party, if there's no vehicle for them to get in government, if there's no vehicle for somebody to get in the White House and make hiring decisions and firing decisions, I don't see an outcome where.
00:39:33.000I don't see an outcome where we have patriots running the government.
00:39:37.000And the only threat, the biggest threat to revolutionaries and Trumpists and these kinds of people taking over the GOP is this myth that we have to keep winning elections at any cost.
00:39:51.000And the way that we win elections is by running diverse candidates and people that don't sound like Trump and people that, again, have the worst parts of Trumpism that boomers have been tricked into liking and subtracting all the best parts of it.
00:41:23.000You know, electing a private equity guy to stop making kids wear masks and stop teaching critical race theories, quoting MLK Jr. and talking about individual liberty and stuff, that's not going to do it.
00:41:36.000You know, electing Ronald Reagan, too, electing DeSantis, electing Marco Rubio, it's not going to do it.
00:41:43.000So, I worry that Republicans are going to have the wrong takeaway from this election, which is to say they're going to look at this and say this is Trumpism without Trump.
00:41:56.000This is anti CRT, anti masks, moderate Republican, not religious right, not like it's just sort of moderate.
00:42:06.000It's talking about the hot button issues, and Trump's not a part of it.
00:42:12.000And the whole Trump circus, the opposition to the media, opposition to the deep state, Conspiracy theories undermining the legitimacy of the system itself without all that.
00:42:24.000Trumpism without Trump is, you might as well just call that conservatism.
00:43:30.000We got mass migration and we got Medicare and Medicaid.
00:43:35.000And I mean, that pre existed, but they were expanded.
00:43:39.000And our gun rights were attacked and abortion went on and feminism flourished and gay and trans became normalized and acceptable and the cities went out of control.
00:43:53.000So let's temper some of the optimism tonight with realizing that Republican victories are not enough.
00:43:59.000Republicans have won elections statewide, nationwide, congressional, gubernatorial, whatever, for decades.
00:44:09.000And by some measures, they've ruled for longer and they've won more effectively and raised more money and campaigned better than the Democrats.
00:44:18.000But the country is on the same trajectory.
00:44:20.000So it's not enough that Republicans are winning.
00:44:22.000It's not enough that Republicans are pulling off upset elections.
00:44:25.000You want to find some upset elections?
00:44:49.000It's important that the right people are winning with the right agenda.
00:44:53.000It's important that people are winning that are opposed to the whole system, not just the Democrats, not just the worst excesses of the Democrats.
00:45:00.000You got a Republican to win because he said that we shouldn't have anti white curriculum.
00:45:05.000He won because the opposing candidate was some anti Trump resistance nut job who said that parents have no say in what their children learn in schools.
00:45:30.000There is a moderate Republican who is a governor of Massachusetts, Charlie Baker, and there's a Republican governor of Maryland and a Republican governor of Maine.
00:45:41.000So I would caution against too much optimism.
00:45:44.000Yes, this is a reflection of how badly the administration is failing.
00:45:48.000Yes, it's a reflection of how unpopular CRT and, in some sense, maybe the COVID lockdowns are, maybe the mask mandates, you know, who knows?
00:46:12.000It tells us something about the electorate, but these victories are not going to change the country.
00:46:17.000What we've learned about the electorate is a good sign because somebody like Donald Trump could run and win and do some real damage.
00:46:25.000But this in itself and some of the lessons that people are going to learn may be very harmful.
00:46:30.000Are we going to get a whole class of Republicans running next year that are Trump light, that don't want to be seen with him, that are not going to be controversial, that are going to run on individualism and Martin Luther King Jr., but don't teach my kids CRT?
00:46:47.000And some broadly anti COVID tyranny sentiment, we can do better.
00:46:54.000So I am concerned that that will happen.
00:46:57.000The last thing I have to say, the last element of this race is it is also concerning that Republicans won this because I know a lot of people now are going to get complacent.
00:47:09.000It's that implicitly, if we won the election, hey, maybe the elections work now.
00:47:16.000I fear that a lot of people are going to walk away from this and that will be the takeaway.
00:47:21.000Maybe not consciously, and maybe they wouldn't admit it, but there is this sort of implicit assumption that, hey, if we won this time in a blue state, that's awesome.
00:48:16.000Still, it's been a year now, just under a year, it'll be a year tomorrow, where they stole a national election in six states.
00:48:25.000This was a huge enterprise, and it's obvious.
00:48:28.000And we saw that in the audit in Arizona, and we've seen that in some of the information that's come out in Georgia.
00:48:35.000Mathematically, it has been proven that voter fraud occurred at least in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Georgia.
00:48:43.000And as a result, we have an illegitimate president.
00:48:45.000And how can Republicans and why should they have any confidence in the system going forward?
00:48:50.000This is something that has to be addressed.
00:48:52.000If it doesn't, why would anybody vote at all?
00:48:55.000And how can we continue giving legitimacy to a system that is not democratic?
00:49:00.000How can we participate in a system and by voting, by voting, we are participating in it and we're acknowledging, we're sort of, again, we're saying that it's legitimate.
00:49:13.000You can't go out and vote and then lose and say, oh, well, I mean, I knew my vote wouldn't count.
00:49:17.000If you're voting, if you're participating, if you're engaging with it, it's as though you're legitimizing it.
00:49:25.000You're legitimizing the government's rule by democracy, by vote, when we know the elections are rigged.
00:49:31.000When we know that if there's a candidate that they don't want to win, they can fix it.
00:49:35.000And they can fix the media and fix social media.
00:49:39.000And they can, as we talked about yesterday, just manufacture this false consensus.
00:50:05.000And here's the thing about this Republicans have a lot to lose here.
00:50:10.000If enough Republican voters say openly and proudly and with determination, if they say, we're not going to vote because the elections are rigged, Republicans will have to reassure them.
00:52:29.000They better do everything they can to reassure us that our votes are going to count and we're not going to be idiots and do nothing other than legitimize a system that is cheating us out of our rightful representation and out of our own country.
00:52:46.000So, does a victory like this make Republicans complacent?
00:53:03.000In 2022, Republicans are going to go out there and they're going to vote again.
00:53:07.000The Republican Party will do nothing about voter fraud and Republican voters will dutifully turn out again and maybe Republicans will win the House.
00:53:17.000I mean, maybe they'll recover the House, maybe the Senate.
00:53:23.000Kevin McCarthy is going to become the Speaker of the House.
00:53:26.000And Mitch McConnell is going to become the Senate Majority Leader.
00:53:30.000And before you go celebrating that there's this big Republican majority, remember, we had a Republican majority from 16 to 18, House and Senate.
00:53:39.000We had a Republican Senate from 2014 to 2020.
00:53:44.000We had a Republican House from, what was it, 2010 to 2016, or 2018, I should say, right?
00:54:33.000So, I actually don't know how, I actually don't know if it's such a good thing that Republicans are going out and winning elections because all it does is affirm the legitimacy of the system.
00:54:46.000Are we going to put up Ron DeSantis in 2024, a Trumpist without Trump?
00:54:51.000And is everybody going to go and turn out and vote for that candidate and subject ourselves once again, legitimizing a system that is broken, legitimizing a system that we know is broken that's going to screw us out of our.
00:56:02.000So, I'm very worried that if we see more of these and if we win the House, That might be the worst thing that could ever happen to us if Republicans gain control of the House and retain control of the Senate, or I guess technically gain control of the Senate.
00:56:18.000That might be the worst thing that could happen, honestly, because dealing Republicans back in, while Republicans might see a victory and think that's a great thing, they're losing sight of the fact that they're back in the system.
00:56:32.000We're sort of being bribed back into the system.
00:56:35.000Look, double or nothing, you could get the House and the Senate.
00:56:39.000Republicans go right back to the casino.
00:59:13.000Pope John Paul II says, What would be the implications for U.S.?
00:59:17.000Oh, for us and the U.S., if European nations began to offer the right of return to Americans of European descent like Israel does for Jews, could dual citizenship lead to a diaspora for white Americans?
01:00:39.000And Trump would become president again.
01:00:42.000And it was literally going to be the second coming of Jesus.
01:00:47.000And so imagine those people going back to Europe.
01:00:50.000I would blow up the boats, I would take one for the team.
01:00:54.000I would say, I'm going to save Europe.
01:00:56.000And I would torpedo every last boat going to Europe.
01:01:00.000Because don't get me wrong, Europe is totally paused.
01:01:05.000It's not completely paused, but Europe is kind of paused.
01:01:10.000But if you had hundreds of these Q boomers getting on life rafts with their t shirts that say Trump Kennedy 21 and say, where we go one, we go all, if they had 300 pound.
01:01:25.000Getting out of life rafts with their seed oils and the Diet Coke and all that, going and then they're taking advantage of their right of return to Europe.
01:01:39.000I would hit the detonator like Joker and Dark Knight and blow up all the ships.
01:01:44.000Because, yeah, that I don't know that on net that would be good for the white race.
01:01:54.000And who would even take them up on that?
01:01:57.000You know, who would even take them up on that?
01:01:59.000A small fraction of right wing political people who actually like Europe.
01:02:03.000I feel like all the other American conservatives are like, Europe?
01:02:47.000Remember that time he gave $500 billion to blacks for no reason, pardoned drug dealers and rappers while never mentioning MAGA, political prisoners, allowed illegals amnesty after leaving the border open?
01:03:46.000But the $500 billion platinum plan, that never happened, so that's wrong.
01:03:52.000The illegal amnesty, that never happened either.
01:03:55.000Not sure what you're referring to, but there was no amnesty.
01:03:59.000He did pardon drug dealers and rappers, the First Step Act, and some of those rappers, I'll give you that.
01:04:06.000The Israel comment I addressed yesterday, you know, a lot of the stuff that is said about Trump, you know, once again, like I said yesterday, People act like we're comparing this to Jesus Christ or something.
01:04:22.000We have to compare Trump to what we have.
01:04:24.000We have to compare Trump to what's on the table.
01:04:27.000Is this any worse than anything that any other Republican has ever done or said?
01:04:32.000Who's the Republican that's better than Trump?
01:07:25.000Trump authored an executive order against tech censorship and had the FTC begin to investigate Google and Facebook for antitrust violations, which is ongoing.
01:07:36.000Trump ordered the FCC to reinterpret Section 230 to target tech censorship.
01:07:40.000He did it too late, but he did do that.
01:07:44.000Trump signed an executive order shutting down critical race theory for federal government contractors.
01:07:49.000He brought that conversation into the mainstream.
01:07:53.000So, you know, that's a very one sided way of looking at things.
01:08:00.000And I, you know, I think that that whole saying things like that just isn't, it's just useless.
01:08:06.000It's short sighted, it lacks perspective, and it's just useless.
01:08:10.000I mean, do you really think you're the first person to say that?
01:08:14.000I mean, try saying something that's actually contributing to the conversation.
01:08:20.000I come on the show and I try every night to say something.
01:08:24.000I know not everything I say is groundbreaking or new, but I try to at least give a perspective that I try to give insight.
01:09:28.000And I hate that so much because, you know, I could do that all day long.
01:09:34.000Do you know how much is going on in my life and with my career?
01:09:39.000And what if that was my approach with everything that's happened to me?
01:09:45.000I think that's why I hate it more than anything, is because.
01:09:49.000You know, here I am trying to go out every night and try to fight the good fight and inspire and show people there's still a way out of things and trying to be adaptable and all of that against all odds.
01:10:01.000I'm 23 and I am fighting against the federal government, which is enough, by the way, but the federal government and the banks who have deplatformed me from everything.
01:10:12.000I mean, I can't even tell you the kind of stuff that I have to deal with.
01:10:16.000I can't board an airplane, so I have to drive everywhere.
01:10:20.000The government froze $500,000 of my money.
01:10:24.000So I had to sell stocks and things just to pay bills, just to pay people that are working for me.
01:11:11.000We try to do rallies for anti vax, and every time we do it, they say you need insurance to get a permit, and every insurance company turns us away because of who I am.
01:12:44.000But we, unlike you, me, unlike you, I'm on the front lines in the fucking dirt, in the trenches, getting my life destroyed, my real life, not my anonymous profile, my real life, my real well being, my real body and soul, my face, my name, my legal identity, and all of it.
01:13:06.000And I'm in here trying to figure out all of that.
01:13:09.000I put it on my back and I'm fighting against all these great institutions.
01:13:13.000And you get people out there that want to just complain and want to just remind you constantly, you know, Trump sucks actually.
01:18:21.000Ben, it was made gay because the whole Con Inc. machine turned that into the latest grift.
01:18:27.000Darren Beatty had a good tweet about that the other day.
01:18:30.000He said, It's kind of a damning indictment of the GOP that we've got this infrastructure ready to be spun up to sell Let's Go Brand in t shirts, but to do nothing other than that about it.
01:18:41.000You know, yeah, that thing goes viral and they're on it.
01:18:44.000They sold a billion, kajillion t shirts and a billion songs.
01:18:49.000And don't get me wrong, I love Bryson Gray.
01:18:51.000I don't consider him part of that, but Bryson's a real deal.
01:18:58.000You know, the establishment sees that as an opportunity to sell a t shirt for $19.99 and buy our package and buy our backpack and buy our hat that says, let's go, Brandon, and buy this and that that says, let's go, Brandon, and do literally nothing else.
01:19:10.000And they're going to chant it and they're going to say it and they're going to go, ooh, that is so funny, and do nothing meaningful, you know?
01:19:17.000And it's like, just goes to show they have the money, they got the resources, but they're just doing it to make more money.
01:19:22.000They're using all of that to just simply continue the grift.
01:19:29.000Ben says, Do you have any reflection on the time two years ago when the Republican Party of Scott County, Iowa, invited you to speak and then denounced you afterwards?
01:24:37.000Humongous Blungus says some fat void with leg tattoos convinced my brother to sign up for a turning point mailing list and now he's getting stupid emails all the time.
01:24:46.000I told him his first mistake was talking to a woman, true or not.
01:24:52.000Yeah, that's really based of you to say that.
01:24:59.000Based Texans says I was going to go see a band until I realized the headlining band.
01:25:04.000Had a tranny frontman, so went to a different show at a different venue that same night, and lo and behold, same thing.
01:27:40.000Hoping to catch one of your streams one of these days.
01:27:42.000We got to play Fortnite one of these days.
01:27:44.000Maybe we'll do, I guess Fortnite Mares is over.
01:27:47.000But let's do the next Fortnite season.
01:27:50.000We got to get a tournament going or something.
01:27:54.000Humongous blungus, is it just me or do these corporate types seem soulless?
01:27:58.000You talk about service workers being petty tyrants, but employees who work for big companies have that empty look in their eyes and are mean.
01:29:18.000I went to Walgreens the other day and the lady doesn't even say hi, doesn't even say no greeting, no nothing, just rings it up and the total.
01:30:27.000Mr. Kool Aid says, I get you might have been looking at the election or whatever, but you should let us know if you're going to be an hour late.
01:30:34.000We wait for the live stream, and all you have to do is walk downstairs.
01:30:45.000Why don't you, what are you going to cry?
01:30:46.000What do you got someplace to be or something?
01:30:49.000Why don't you just enjoy your content?
01:30:51.000You know, I don't think I've ever seen you super chat.
01:30:54.000The guy's got this free show coming to him live every night, and then it's a half hour late on an election night, and he goes, You know, you should at least tell us if you're going to be late.
01:31:48.000It's one thing if you patronize the show, then I would go, hey, yeah, sorry about that.
01:31:52.000But if you're freeloading every night, if you're just tuning in, you're just sitting there, you know, this website that I built, which costs money to run, and this show, which is increasingly difficult to do with every passing day, you just sit there every night.
01:32:06.000Hey, excuse me, you're going to be in the hour late.
01:32:09.000It's like, well, excuse me, but I don't work for you, actually.
01:32:15.000And you don't even patronize the show.
01:35:07.000Should have cooked it in the volcanic ash.
01:35:11.000Ozzy Allen says, Oh no, I just read that.
01:35:14.000Patman says, Do you think this period of Democrats going crazy? Is akin to the radical Republicans post Civil War, where they've gone so far that voters will turn against them.
01:38:27.000Larry Punk says the idea that the Christian dogma is useful in self improvement type of way for the masses and doesn't need faith is stupid.
01:38:35.000Christianity without God is like a super expensive PC without electricity.
01:41:24.000Things like that are so slept on, like during the debates.
01:41:29.000He, I forget which one, but he said something about the polls and everybody booed him.
01:41:36.000And he goes, Oh, they're booing the polls, but I like the poll.
01:41:40.000He goes, They're booing the poll, you know, they're booing the CNN poll, but I like the poll.
01:41:45.000I like, in other words, he liked the numbers.
01:41:48.000And he would do that all the time, just bullshit like that, you know, where they would boo something he was saying and he would say, Oh, no, they're booing something else.
01:44:05.000I've had money taken from me for supporting him.
01:44:09.000I had $500,000 frozen because I was at the Capitol on the 6th.
01:44:14.000MAGA grift, that's some grift where you lose half a million dollars.
01:44:19.000Yeah, I'm that greedy bastard grifter who signs up for that short term grift where the government freezes most of your cash, freezes half a million dollars.
01:44:46.000I'll say things where bank accounts shut down my checking account, the FBI freezes my bank account, and I'm prevented from doing commerce on the internet where I conduct my business.
01:44:57.000Yeah, that makes a lot of sense from a grifting point of view.
