00:01:33.000Dial pound 250, say keyword Ben Shapiro.
00:01:37.000Okay, so on the day of the election, where do we stand?
00:01:42.000Now, I sense a lot of nervousness on the left.
00:01:46.000I think that nervousness is a good indicator for the right.
00:01:48.000It's also a bad indicator for the right.
00:01:49.000So it's a good indicator in the sense that the left being nervous means they don't think that this election is out of reach for Trump, which is good.
00:01:55.000I mean, if they were that confident, if they thought that they were going to walk away with this thing, that'd probably be a bad sign.
00:02:00.000But at the same time, the fact that they're nervous this time where they were not last time means that the left is going to get out and vote, which means if you're a conservative, here's your reminder, get out and vote and do it right now.
00:02:30.000I'm going to read you the RealClearPolitics poll averages right now from the swing states.
00:02:34.000And I'm going to give you which key states to watch tonight, because there are going to be some early indicators of where the election is going.
00:02:40.000Again, the scenarios basically at this point are Trump narrow victory, Biden narrow victory, Biden blowout.
00:02:46.000There's no scenario here with the Trump blowout.
00:02:48.000Trump could theoretically do really well in the Electoral College, as well as last time.
00:02:52.000He's not going to flip in all likelihood any of the states that Hillary Clinton won last time to the red column, Nevada and Nevada and For example, Minnesota probably are out of reach for Trump, but he could hold on to most of the states he won last time and still win.
00:03:07.000All he needs to do is win all the states he won last time and he can still lose Michigan and Wisconsin and he can still win the election.
00:03:12.000That is his most likely path to victory.
00:03:14.000So let's talk for a second about where these state polls stand in the RealClearPolitics polling average.
00:03:32.000And enthusiasm from the Hispanic community in Florida is extremely large.
00:03:36.000There are a lot of Cuban expatriates, a lot of Venezuelan expatriates, which is becoming a larger and larger vote, a lot of Brazilian expatriates, a lot of whom Sort of remember the bad old days of socialism in these various countries or left-wing rule in places like Brazil, and they think to themselves, yeah, I'm not so hot on that.
00:03:51.000It also turns out that one of the unfortunate facts about translation from English to Spanish, or fortunate in this case, for purposes of accuracy, is that the same word that Biden was using in his advertising to say that he was going to be progressive, that word, the word that is used in Spanish, and forgive me, my Spanish is not good.
00:04:10.000The word in Spanish for progressive is the same as the word for socialist.
00:04:13.000So when Joe Biden was advertising about how progressive he was going to be, it was being translated into the Spanish ads as, oh, I'm Hugo Chavez, which is really not a great look.
00:04:20.000OK, so I think that he's going to win Florida, but Florida is extremely, extremely competitive.
00:05:46.000Michigan, the margin has come down for Biden.
00:05:49.000The margin was up at 7 or 8 points just about a week ago, and now that margin has dropped fairly dramatically, really, in the last couple of weeks.
00:05:57.000The RealClearPolitics polling average in Michigan had Biden up 9.
00:06:00.000It had Biden up 9, just about Two weeks ago, not even two weeks ago, a week ago, Biden was up nine in that RealClearPolitics polling average.
00:06:07.000Now Biden is up four in that RealClearPolitics polling average.
00:06:10.000So Trump is closing the gap and fast in Michigan as well.
00:06:14.000Although that one, again, Trump would really have to exceed expectations to win Michigan.
00:06:18.000In Ohio, Trump is now up in the RealCorp Politics polling average.
00:06:20.000In Arizona, Biden and Trump are dead even.
00:06:23.000The RealCorp Politics polling average had Biden with a wide lead just a couple of days ago.
00:06:28.000Just a few days ago, Biden was up five points in Arizona.
00:06:50.000One is there are a lot of states that Trump should be walking away with that are way too close to call.
00:06:54.000The other is that all the states that Biden needs to walk away with are also too close to call.
00:06:58.000Which means that when you look at the final analysis of the polling, and good news guys, after tonight, ain't no more polling talk.
00:07:06.000Nobody cares because the polls are done, right?
00:07:08.000If you look at the polls right now, the polls would not have to be wrong for Biden to win 320 electoral votes or for Trump to win 300 electoral votes.
00:07:18.000The polls would not have to be wrong for any of that to happen.
00:07:20.000Remember, polls are a margin of error business.
00:07:22.000If you get it within the margin of error, your poll was right.
00:07:25.000It doesn't actually have to call who won the poll.
00:07:28.000If, again, that is within a point or two, it doesn't matter.
00:07:32.000So, the election is really, really close, which is why you need to get out and you need to vote and you need to do it right now.
00:07:38.000Now, the media are setting up a post-election sort of conundrum for the American people, which is, if Trump wins, they've already set up this narrative where it was voter suppression.
00:08:39.000There have been lawsuits filed to determine what constitutes a legally A legally cast ballot, that is not the same thing as voter suppression.
00:08:46.000If I sue because I think that you are casting a ballot without fulfilling the legal obligations, that's not called voter suppression.
00:08:52.000That is called enforcement of statutory law.
00:08:56.000And many of these lawsuits that have been attempting to, for example, discount drive-through balloting in Texas, have been invalidated by like a Bush judge.
00:09:03.000A Bush judge invalidated that lawsuit.
00:09:06.000So all the talk about voter suppression is nonsense.
00:09:08.000You'll notice the media are pushing the voter suppression angle extremely hard because they're always looking for another reason for Democrats not being responsible for their own loss.
00:09:17.000This is something that that I don't really see Republicans doing very often, looking for an excuse for why their candidate lost.
00:09:23.000If Republicans lose, I think that what you're going to see is Republicans being upset, Republicans believing correctly that the media put their thumb, not just their thumb, their entire arm, not just their entire arm, their entire body on the scale in favor of Joe Biden.
00:09:35.000And I think Republicans will be angry about that.
00:09:38.000And I think they'll be right to be angry about that.
00:09:39.000But there's not going to be any excuse making In a large measure about how the system itself was deeply corrupt and needs to be torn down at the root.
00:09:47.000There's not going to be talk about how we need to quash Americans' fundamental freedoms in order to ensure that our candidates win.
00:09:54.000In 2016, we had the intelligence apparatus mobilize against Trump post-election, right?
00:09:59.000I mean, this is now pretty clear that James Comey and company were actually using nefarious means in order to target members of the Trump administration, right?
00:10:09.000We've seen the Democratic Party get into the business of trying to regulate the living hell out of social media and or pressure social media with threats of regulation so they will prevent the dissemination of information.
00:10:37.000When Republicans lose, they generally see it as a problem with the candidates.
00:10:40.000When Democrats lose, it's the system and or that 45% of Americans they think are just terrible people.
00:10:45.000When Republicans lose, it's generally about the candidate.
00:10:48.000It may be about people in the media not covering things properly.
00:10:52.000That asymmetry means that Democrats are constantly pushing for the thing they're always pushing for, which is systemic change, which is exactly the sort of thing that you should be afraid of, because the systems of the United States are in fact quite good.
00:11:03.000A thing to remember this election day, as with every election day, for virtually all of human history, human beings could not choose their own leaders.
00:11:10.000For virtually all of human history, people could not vote to change a party in power for a party out of power.
00:11:16.000For virtually all of human history, people lived in poverty.
00:12:05.000If the system does not help them, it is bad, and it ought to be torn out, and that's what you ought to be afraid of.
00:12:08.000That's why Democrats should not be put in charge of the system, because they don't actually believe in the system.
00:12:12.000They don't actually believe in the institutions.
00:12:15.000They make excuses for why Hillary Clinton lost rather than just saying she's a crap candidate who deserves to lose and the American people chose against her.
00:12:21.000Instead of that, they decided that they were going to start tearing away at the fundamental fabric of American freedoms and American institutions that's going to continue apace whether Biden is elected or not.
00:12:29.000But if Biden's elected, he's now in charge of dismantling a system That elected him to office.
00:12:34.000And I don't think that he'll be shy about that.
00:12:47.000And more and more these days, because many of us are working at home and we're wearing more casual stuff, you need a great t-shirt that looks fantastic every time it comes out of the wash.
00:12:55.000This is why I love, I love the clothing from Cuts.
00:12:58.000You don't really need to wear a tie for your Zoom meeting, but sweatpants and your go-to gym tee don't really feel right either.
00:13:11.000They have enough quality and style to wear in the office, on a date, anywhere in between.
00:13:14.000You don't have to choose between a classic look and a modern feel.
00:13:18.000After four years of development, Cutts has finally released their new polos and hoodies.
00:13:22.000The new Pike Up polo was designed in Los Angeles with Cutts' custom-engineered Pike Up Pro fabric that keeps you fitted for the daily work grind, a happy hour escape, everything in between.
00:13:30.000Cutts' new hoodies, they're made with their custom Hyperloop French Terry fabric.
00:13:33.000They were designed with comfort in mind and lasting structure for the long haul.
00:13:37.000I basically only wear Cutts' t-shirts at this point because they are so good.
00:13:39.000Cutts is loved by your favorite athletes, entrepreneurs, even magnificent humans like me.
00:13:44.000It seems like everyone is wearing cuts these days.
00:13:46.000Get 15% off your first order by going cutsclothing.com slash Shapiro.
00:13:50.000Again, that's cutsclothing.com slash Shapiro for 15% off the only shirt worth wearing.
00:14:02.000There are a couple reasons why it's pretty much worthless.
00:14:04.000If Trump comes within four points in the national polling, he has a shot at winning.
00:14:07.000If he loses by eight, It's going to be a foregone conclusion at that point that he probably, not probably, he will lose.
00:14:12.000If he is down eight points in the popular vote, he's going to lose.
00:14:15.000Now, it's also true that if there is a shy Trump effect, I was talking about this with one of our fellow Daily Wire talents, Cassie Dillon.
00:14:22.000She was pointing out that if there is a shy Trump effect, you know, people who are voting Trump and not telling pollsters they're going to vote Trump.
00:14:30.000That's actually most likely to show up in national polling, not state-level polling.
00:14:34.000The reason being, if you live in California, you live in New York, no way a pollster calls you up and asks you about who you're voting for, and you're like, absolutely Trump!
00:14:41.000Because the social consequences of voting for Trump in a place like California, or New York, or Massachusetts, or Illinois, right, in very heavily populated Democratic states, the shy Trump vote could really be a thing.
00:14:51.000So you could see A heavy overestimate of Biden's margin of victory in the popular vote based on that shy Trump effect, particularly in major cities and blue areas around the country.
00:15:03.000But as FiveThirtySeven says, or FiveThirtyEight rather, Nate Silver's organization, if Donald Trump comes within four points of Joe Biden, if he's three points down to Joe Biden in the national vote, he'll win.
00:15:14.000Basically, there's a 57% shot that if he is within three points in the national popular vote, then Donald Trump wins.
00:15:21.000So, Trump does not need to close the gap the entire way.
00:15:24.000He does not need to win the popular vote.
00:15:27.000Now, with that said, obviously, the national polling is bad for Trump.
00:15:32.000According to Yahoo, on the eve of what threatens to be the most contentious and potentially confusing election day in modern memory, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden retains a double-digit lead over President Trump in that final Yahoo News at YouGov poll of the 2020 campaign.
00:15:43.000It's a 10-point margin that's more than three times as large as Hillary Clinton's final polling advantage in 2016.
00:15:49.000Okay, this has all been prepped by the media.
00:15:50.000percent expect Trump to refuse to concede if he loses. More than three quarters, 77 percent, worry that violence will break out in the coming days. Okay, this has all been prepped by the media. Okay, when I talk about the media being a target that people should focus in on, the media's behavior over the last four years has fundamentally foreclosed the possibility that you should trust them ever again.
00:16:25.000The narrative that Trump is going to refuse to concede if he loses the election, like loses it clearly, not that it gets litigated in Pennsylvania and then he refuses to concede, but that he loses Georgia, he loses Texas, and then he's sitting there being like, I'm never giving up.
00:17:24.000The idea that it's right-wingers who are promoting violence in the streets, it is not right.
00:17:28.000Honest to God, if Donald Trump loses, I do not think you're going to see right-wing violence in the street.
00:17:32.000I'll eat my words if that turns out not to be true, but I do not see the evidence that right-wingers are going to go out in the street and start burning down stores and breaking into CVS if Donald Trump loses tonight.
00:17:41.000It's only the left that's been doing that.
00:17:42.000And the overt attempt by the media to twist street violence into a Republican phenomenon is completely insane.
00:17:50.000And also, it's amazing how gullible the American people are about this.
00:17:52.000There was a poll that came out in the middle of the rioting in Kenosha showing that a plurality of Americans were more worried about white supremacists rioting in America's major cities than Black Lives Matter, which is totally crazy.
00:18:02.000OK, because you can believe the media or you can believe your own eyes.
00:18:05.000But the problem is, when the media are your eyes, there is no way for you to believe otherwise.
00:18:09.000We're going to get to more of this, more of the preparations for violence, for what's coming after, in just one second.
00:18:15.000First, let us talk about how hard it is to find excellent, excellent employees.
00:18:20.000So I am back in Los Angeles today for our election night broadcast.
00:18:24.000And, you know, it reminded me that I have a lot of great employees here in Los Angeles.
00:18:27.000It also reminded me that I have some not so great employees.
00:18:30.000I mean, just to be perfectly frank about this.
00:18:33.000I mean, some of them actually I brought with me from Florida, but some of them, I'm not going to name any names.
00:18:40.000I'm not going to say that, like, You know, Pablo could have been quicker with the coffee or that Nika could have been faster on the hair or anything.
00:18:48.000I'm not going to say that, you know, folks like Cassie, it could be a little bit less, I don't know, obtrusive about their their Instagram talk.
00:18:54.000All I'm going to say is that there's a lot of room at this company and all other companies for upgrading your employment staff.
00:18:59.000And this is why you should check out Zip Recruiter right now.

00:20:04.000Twitter was pushing today a piece from Yahoo News Australia in their Twitter trends.
00:20:08.000I'm sure that there were just so many people who were aiming their Clickers over to, they were aiming their mouse over to the Yahoo News Australia site that Twitter just had to feature it.
00:20:18.000They just had to feature the piece because so many people visit Yahoo News Australia.
00:20:22.000The piece is called The Controversial U.S.
00:20:28.000So this left-wing talking point that the Electoral College, you know, the system by which we devise our presidents and have done so for more than two centuries, that that is controversial.
00:20:37.000That's not just being promoted by Twitter willy-nilly.
00:20:39.000Josh Shapiro, no relation, thank God, who is the Attorney General of the state of Pennsylvania.
00:20:45.000He tweeted out, if the votes are added up in Pennsylvania, Trump is going to lose.
00:20:49.000That's why he's working overtime to subtract as many votes as possible from this process.
00:20:53.000For the record, he's 0 and 6 against us in court.
00:21:03.000If all the votes are added up in PA, Trump will lose.
00:21:06.000That's the attorney general of the state of Pennsylvania charged with enforcing the law in the state of Pennsylvania, saying that if his candidate doesn't win, if Joe Biden does not win, it's because somebody cheated.
00:21:17.000What's amazing is that the media refuse to acknowledge that it's dangerous stuff when it comes from the left.
00:21:21.000They just keep talking about voter suppression and Trump talking about voter fraud and all this kind of stuff.
00:21:25.000When your entire mainstream media is telling you the election is not legit if Trump wins, what do you think is going to be the predictable result, especially in a country where the vast majority of political violence that we have seen over the course of the last six months has been left-wing political violence in the streets?
00:21:40.000Why do you think these businesses are boarding up?
00:21:50.000According to Axios, America's cities are bracing for violence as soon as tomorrow.
00:21:55.000Driving the news, landmarks, stores and restaurants in New York, Washington, D.C.
00:21:58.000and other cities are boarding up their front doors in fear that Election Day will bring another blow to their businesses, many of which are already reeling from the pandemic and damaged from photos.
00:22:07.000The country's election outcome could lead to civil unrest no matter who wins.
00:22:10.000People all over the country are preparing for the worst.
00:22:12.000See, that's the funny part, too, is that if Biden wins, you could see celebratory riots in the streets.
00:22:15.000It's rioting for all seasons out here in the blue cities.
00:22:19.000And I'm enjoying the fact that many of these blue cities, many of these businesses, they're putting up the plyboard on their On their stores.
00:22:27.000During the Black Lives Matter riots, they put up BLM, black-owned business on the boards like, please don't rob us.
00:22:34.000Now they're putting up anti-Trump crap on their businesses so that everybody knows that you shouldn't rob their store because they don't like Trump either.
00:23:20.000Donald Trump has started no new foreign wars.
00:23:22.000Donald Trump has been a far less obtrusive governmental presence in your life than anybody from the Democratic Party was or will be in the aftermath of the election.
00:23:30.000Because just recognize that after the election, all of the incentives for Democrats are to crack down hard, particularly with regard to COVID.
00:23:36.000I already made my prediction on COVID yesterday.
00:23:39.000I think what will happen is that we will hit the top of the curve in December in terms of number of infections.
00:23:44.000Late November, December, this is what the scientists are suggesting.
00:23:47.000And then by the time of the inauguration, it will already be on the way.
00:23:50.000And if Joe Biden is made president, it won't matter.
00:24:28.000He's been deploying Barack Obama to Florida.
00:24:30.000Those are, I think, the two key states tonight, by the way.
00:24:32.000If you really had to ballpark it, you have to say that Pennsylvania and Florida are the two key states.
00:24:36.000If Trump wins Florida, he still has to win Pennsylvania.
00:24:38.000If Biden wins Florida, the election's over.
00:24:40.000That's going to be your first indicator.
00:24:41.000So if you're watching our coverage tonight, which you should at DailyWire.com, because we're doing it all night long.
00:24:45.000We have surprises, special guests, and amazing announcements.
00:24:48.000Like, really, truly incredible announcements for what we're going to be doing in the next year.
00:24:52.000pretty great. Head over to DailyWire at night. But Florida is going to be the first indicator as to how things are going to go tonight. We're going to get to more of this in just one second. First, let us talk about the fact that if you've ever owned a car, and not least owned a car, and you've gotten your car in a bit of a scrape, car repairs can cost you an absolute damn fortune. I remember I had a baby blue, when I got married, I had a baby blue 2006 Ford Mustang GT convertible.
00:25:17.000My wife hated it because it really messed up her hair.
00:25:25.000Not the same, but in any case, my wife made the unfortunate mistake of driving that Ford Mustang GT up onto a planter outside of our house, like an actual planter in our front yard.
00:26:35.000He has deployed members of his family, members of the cabinet to places like Arizona.
00:26:38.000Trump's closing pitch is what his pitch should have been.
00:26:41.000All along, which is, he has helped the economy, he has kept the country open.
00:26:45.000We are, in fact, in the midst of a historically good economic recovery from a historic low because of the COVID shutdowns that were necessary at the beginning when we didn't know what we were doing, but now are counterproductive and unnecessary.
00:26:55.000Here is President Trump talking about how, under him, the economy grew at the fastest rate ever.
00:27:01.000Under my leadership, our economy is now growing at the fastest rate ever recorded in the history of our country.
00:27:56.000And who are the people he's going to put on?
00:27:57.000He was supposed to say, you cannot vote for him if he doesn't tell you about packing the court.
00:28:03.000Okay, so that is Trump's closing pitch.
00:28:05.000Mike Pence, of course, made the same pitch.
00:28:07.000He points out that under President Trump, we've stood for religious freedom.
00:28:09.000Again, this is the thing about Trump's record.
00:28:12.000Trump's record is quite good, as I've pointed out a thousand times on this program already.
00:28:16.000If you just separated off all the things that people don't like about Trump's personality from the stuff he's gotten done, he'd win in a walk.
00:28:21.000That poll from Gallup showing 56% of Americans say they are better off now than they were four years ago, which is indeed the highest percentage for any president in the last 30 years.
00:28:31.000And that should be a foregone conclusion he wins.
00:28:32.000A lot of this is just a personality issue.
00:28:35.000Here's Mike Pence pointing out the record.
00:28:38.000Under President Donald Trump, we've stood for that first freedom, religious freedom strong.
00:28:42.000We restored the conscience rights of doctors and nurses.
00:28:45.000And it was President Donald Trump who ended the assault on the little sisters of the poor and the Supreme Court made it permanent.
00:28:53.000Okay, Mike Pence was right about that.
00:28:55.000He also pointed out at this rally that Donald Trump is in favor of more fracking.
00:28:58.000One of the reasons that you've seen the polls close so fast in Pennsylvania is because of Joe Biden saying in that last debate that he was going to end the oil industry.
00:29:06.000We're going to transition away from the oil industry.
00:29:25.000We're going to have more fracking, more American energy, more energy independence for this generation and for generations to come when we reelect President Donald Trump for four more years.
00:29:37.000On a policy level, these are all 60-40 propositions in favor of the Republicans.
00:29:41.000Pence also pointing out that Republicans aren't interested in defunding the police.
00:29:44.000Joe Biden has said he's also not interested in defunding the police.
00:30:35.000Because I don't want any politician treating me like a member of their family.
00:30:38.000And frankly, if I were going to have a politician treat me like a member of his family, Biden's not a bad guy to do it because then I could pick up bags of cash for no reason except my family name in Ukraine and Kazakhstan and China wouldn't have to know anything about those countries could just kind of jet set there and pick up giant bags of cash.
00:30:52.000But he said he was going to treat us like members of our family of his family, which I don't want.
00:30:56.000I don't want these people anywhere near my family.
00:30:57.000God bless and keep the Tsar far, far away from us.
00:31:00.000And then he tweeted out, I started this campaign saying we were in a battle for the soul of this nation.
00:31:04.000And I believe that even more deeply today.
00:31:06.000Make no mistake, it's a battle we can and will win.
00:31:09.000Okay, so if you believe that your soul is going to be saved by a geriatric politician who's shifted every major position he's ever held while corruptly using his office to allow his friends and family to benefit from it, if that guy's going to save your soul, get a little God in your life.
00:31:21.000And then Joe Biden's like, well, I am God.
00:32:48.000How about instead of focusing in on the dumb things that Trump says over the course of his presidency, you focus in on the things that he has done as president of the United States.
00:32:55.000It is also a lie, by the way, that Trump knew how bad COVID was.
00:32:59.000Even Bob Woodward doesn't really allege that Donald Trump, quote unquote, knew how bad COVID was.
00:33:04.000Anthony Fauci in February was suggesting everybody go about their business.
00:33:08.000But according to Joe Biden, in January, Donald Trump knew this was going to kill hundreds of thousands of people and did nothing, which is just crap.
00:33:15.000The reason that Joe Biden has to focus in on Trump's personality is, again, the policies of Trump have been successful.
00:33:20.000And two, if you spend more than five minutes watching Joe Biden, you know two things.
00:33:24.000One, this guy is no transformational savior of the United States.
00:33:27.000And two, this guy ain't going to be in office long.
00:33:29.000Here's just a little bit of Joe Biden over the last 24 hours stumbling over his words, because, again, You can be, you know, maybe he'll be, maybe if he's elected, he will be competent through the first four years of his administration.
00:34:48.000Here's Kamala Harris talking yesterday about getting rid of Trump's tax bill.
00:34:51.000Which, by the way, if you actually got rid of Trump's entire tax bill, would raise taxes on 80% of Americans.
00:34:57.000Joe understands that when they pass that tax bill benefiting the top 1% and the biggest corporations of America, causing us to deal with a $2 trillion deficit, that that wasn't about working people.
00:35:10.000And if we get done what we need to get done, Pennsylvania, in the next 24 hours, Joe and I are about to get rid of that tax bill.
00:35:20.000All of the tax bill you're going to get rid of, even the parts that cut taxes for everybody, that person is who you're actually going to end up with as president.
00:35:28.000When she was selected as VP, I thought that was such a gift to Trump, and I don't think it was taken advantage of sufficiently by the Trump-Pence campaign.
00:35:35.000We'll get to more of this in just one second, and then we'll get to what things are going to look like if, God forbid, Trump loses, what it looks like in a post-Trump era.
00:35:43.000Because you can see where this is going.
00:35:50.000First, let us talk about something you can do that's great for your family.
00:35:52.000So I've been encouraging today, people, go out and vote and then spend some time with your family because it's much more important to spend time with your family than it is to vote.
00:36:00.000Just in terms of your life, it is much more important.
00:36:03.000One great way that you can bring families together rather than tearing them apart through politics is through a service called Legacy Box.
00:36:09.000It's a super simple mail-in service to have all your videotapes, camcorder tapes, film reels, pictures digitally preserved on a thumb drive, DVD, or the cloud.
00:36:16.000Are your family's memories trapped on an old camcorder tape or a film reel?
00:36:19.000Do you even have a VHS player anymore?
00:36:23.000So what you need to do is translate all of those memories and you need to put them in a digital format that you can use and that you can access.
00:36:29.000Legacy Box is doing this for my parents.
00:36:31.000I cannot wait to see the results when we get all those film reels back of my grandparents and we can finally look at those for the first time in 30 years.
00:36:38.000Legacy Box is a way for you to easily and affordably digitally preserve your past.
00:36:41.000The process from start to finish is incredibly simple.
00:37:30.000What we are watching right now, as I'm going to discuss more in a moment, is a threat to our institutions, our fundamental freedoms.
00:37:35.000OK, the fact is that for the Democratic Party, freedoms, fundamental American philosophy, these are all obstacles to utopian vision of leveling that they see.
00:37:45.000And Kamala Harris put out a video yesterday in which she explicitly said that equality of outcome is the goal and that anything that stands in the way of equality of outcome is, in fact, inequity.
00:37:54.000OK, that's just outright soft Marxism.
00:38:03.000They could have stood with American rights, and it would have made their program for utopia a little bit harder to achieve.
00:38:09.000Or, they could have gone all the way with the hard woke left, and they went all the way with the hard woke left.
00:38:13.000That's what's at stake in this election in the direction of the country.
00:38:16.000So you need to go vote, and then you need to tune in to dailywire.com, and you need to make sure that you watch our programming all day long.
00:38:23.000Right now, 25% off all memberships of the Code Election.
00:39:01.000Hopefully there will be more laughter than tears.
00:39:03.000You're going to watch all day, and again, 25% off of the code election while you're at it.
00:39:07.000You need to pick up a copy of my book, How to Destroy America, in three easy steps.
00:39:11.000That book is not just relevant for the election, it is relevant way beyond the election.
00:39:16.000There's a lot of education that needs to be done, particularly of America's young people.
00:39:19.000If you've got a kid who's in high school, if you are a kid in high school, if you're a young person in college, people ask me all the time, what's the best book to read that will give me a brief overview of American philosophy and American history?
00:39:32.000And it's about why there are so many people who want to tear away that history, tear away that philosophy, tear away key parts of American culture.
00:39:38.000Go check out my book, How to Destroy America, in three easy steps right now.
00:40:20.000I spend too much time with them, as it is already.
00:40:22.000The more time you spend with politicians, the more you realize that they are the dumbass kids from your third grade class who picked their boogers and ate them.
00:40:28.000There's this great myth about American politics that it is the greatest, wisest statesman among us who make it in American politics.
00:40:33.000I think that we should let that one go, guys, frankly.
00:40:39.000Conspiracy theories are generally wrong because they require a baseline level of intelligence and competence that simply does not exist for the vast majority of people who are elected to high office.
00:40:48.000With that said, what does protect you are your constitutional rights.
00:40:52.000What does protect you are the institutions of the United States.
00:40:55.000But those only work, that only works, they only protect you if those function properly.
00:41:01.000So that means the intelligence apparatus only works to protect you if it functions properly and is not politicized, which is why I am deeply fearful that if Trump were to lose, the re-politicization of the intelligence apparatus would be upon us.
00:41:14.000There is no question at this point that the intelligence apparatus, people like Peter Strzok and James Comey, was politicized in the early days of the Trump administration and the last days of the Obama administration.
00:41:25.000The evidence is now very clear that whether or not the Russia-Gate Investigation was properly predicated, and evidence suggests that it probably was not, that this was bad information being funneled via the Hillary Clinton campaign and Fusion GPS to members of the FBI in order to initiate an investigation.
00:41:39.000But even assuming that was done in good faith, the quick turn from that to, we are going to use every means at our disposal, legal and otherwise, in order to fulfill our utopian fantasy of Donald Trump as a Russian agent, That was a complete perversion of what the intelligence agencies are supposed to do.
00:41:53.000And so it is no surprise today that James Comey, who's responsible for overseeing much of this, posed in a Biden-Harris 2020 t-shirt with a Biden-Harris coffee cup.
00:42:32.000He was a grandstanding political figure.
00:42:34.000He remains a grandstanding political figure, and he'll go back to being in the government if Joe Biden wins.
00:42:39.000People like him will, even if James Comey is never rehired.
00:42:42.000People like Peter Strzok, the supposed good soldiers who are overtly political.
00:42:46.000Those people will be in charge of an apparatus that is capable of watching your every move or taking out FISA warrants against you.
00:42:53.000The intelligence apparatus is going to be re-politicized.
00:42:56.000The Electoral College is gonna come under fire.
00:42:59.000So, Sally Cohn, one of the ids of the Democratic Party, and she tweeted out, whatever the outcome tomorrow, and then all capital letters, the Electoral College is a horrible, racist, regressive mechanism of repressing democracy!
00:43:10.000And I just said it that way because it's all in capital letters.
00:43:32.000Also, the Democrats are claiming that they want to kill the filibuster.
00:43:36.000They're claiming that they want to add states to the United States Senate in order to make it permanently democratic.
00:43:40.000And they've talked openly about quashing the courts.
00:43:44.000There's no question that the Democratic Party is going to push radically to the left.
00:43:46.000I mean, Bernie Sanders is saying this openly.
00:43:48.000He says if Joe Biden wins, then Biden and Bernie and Ayanna Pressley and the Squad and Ilhan Omar and Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, the Honorable Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, not AOC, we can't say that anymore, the Honorable Congresswoman Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, D-Twitch, Representative Rashida Tlaib, Bernie Sanders, these are the people pushing Biden to the left, and he's going to go along with it because this dude is not a bulwark in favor of moderation.
00:44:10.000So our first task, we've made it clear to everybody, it's no great secret.
00:44:14.000Our first task, we got to defeat the worst president in the modern history of this country.
00:44:18.000And number two, we organize our people to make sure that Biden becomes the most progressive president since FDR.
00:44:25.000The assault on our institutions is going to be overwhelming.
00:44:28.000It's going to be an assault on our freedoms because those institutions protect our freedoms.
00:44:31.000There will be assault on freedom of speech.
00:44:33.000There will be a push from the left over the coming years.
00:44:36.000For hate speech regulation, for an attempt to stop people from speaking freely.
00:44:41.000There will be a push on the left against religious freedom for the idea that if you're a religious person in America, you cannot operate your business as you see fit because they have social priorities that take priority, that take first place.
00:44:52.000They will come after guns because they've said they're coming after guns.
00:44:55.000Joe Biden has said they're coming after guns.
00:44:56.000He said he put Beto O'Rourke in charge of coming after your guns.
00:45:00.000They are coming after all of the institutions, fundamental freedoms.
00:45:03.000Not just that, they're perverting and will continue to pervert the media.
00:45:07.000So one of the most hilarious things is that the media really believe that their mission extends only as far as the nearest Republican.
00:45:13.000They believe that the Republicans are worthy of covering in great detail.
00:45:19.000And I've said for a long time, I don't mind that the media are hypercritical of Trump.
00:45:22.000What I mind is that the media are hyper-obsequious to Democrats.
00:45:26.000And when it comes to Democrats, they carry around a drool cup.
00:45:28.000And when it comes to Trump, they carry around a bat.
00:45:31.000Okay, you don't get to do that and then pretend you're objective.
00:45:34.000If 90% of coverage of Donald Trump is negative and 99% of coverage of Barack Obama is positive, you're doing it wrong as a so-called objective journalist.
00:45:57.000I'm not putting aside, you know, the opinion leaders, the people, the self-congratulatory opinion leaders over the Lincoln Project, people like Max Boot.
00:46:04.000So Max Boot, I just have to put this tweet up because it's so absurd on its face.
00:46:08.000He tweeted out, It's like Kevin from The Office.
00:46:11.000can hold their heads high. We made our best case, wrote our most coaching columns, produced our most convincing commercials. I know that I left it all out on the field. We all did.
00:46:19.000The rest is up to voters. Say Kevin from the office. I am a hero. That's that's all these Are people who sit around in their coffee clutches and talk about what heroes they are for standing up to Trump.
00:46:51.000If you believe that the media are going to get better at this after the election, you are sadly mistaken.
00:46:56.000We're going to go right back to the era of Barack Obama, when the only scandal was a tan suit.
00:47:00.000And if you asked Barack Obama a hard question, it was because you were a racist.
00:47:04.000Jay Rosen, who teaches journalism at NYU, he tweeted out today, Today, I don't mind admitting that I am mentally and spiritually exhausted.
00:47:42.000He says, Many leaders in news and media have been holding their breath for the election, and planning everything from retirements to significant shifts in strategy for the months to come, whoever wins.
00:47:50.000President Trump, after all, succeeded in making the old media great again, in part through his obsession with it.
00:47:55.000His riveting show allowed much of the television news business, in particular, to put off reckoning with the technological shifts that have changed all of our lives, but now change is in the air across a newscape that has revolved around the president.
00:48:36.000Times, Norm Perlstein, is looking to recruit a successor by the end of the year.
00:48:39.000Martin Barron, the executive editor of the Washington Post, just bought a house out of town.
00:48:42.000Two posties said they expected him to depart next year.
00:48:44.000The Post spokeswoman, Christina Karate, said he hadn't given notice yet, but the executive editor of the New York Times is on track to retire in 2022.
00:48:52.000Meanwhile, Jeff Zucker of CNN has signaled he's frustrated with WarnerMedia, and there's speculation that he may leave.
00:49:01.000So, Perlstein, who again is the executive editor of the New York Times, he says, the new metrics for success in media, you ready? The new metrics for success in media might be different as well. Issues such as inclusiveness, such as being anti-racist. So, that's the media openly telling you where they're going.
00:49:18.000They're an open propaganda wing of the radical part of the Democratic Party.
00:49:21.000The most radical part of the Democratic Party.
00:49:23.000Anti-racism is code for Ibram X. Kendi, Robyn D'Angelo bullcrap.
00:49:28.000It is code for you are a racist if you oppose the socialistic agenda of Ibram Kendi and Robyn D'Angelo.
00:49:34.000The fascist socialist agenda of those people.
00:49:36.000If you oppose that, you're not anti-racist and that means you're bad.
00:49:39.000And so the way that we're going to gauge media coverage and its success is how anti-racism it is.
00:49:45.000Also, he says that we're going to allow all of the staff journalists who have unionized to run the shop in media.
00:49:51.000So if you're worried about the status of the mainstream media, watch as it destroys itself in perfect butt-massaging obsequiousness to Democrats.
00:50:01.000Perlstein says the old top-down newsroom management is a thing of the past.
00:50:04.000He says consent of the governed is something you have to take pretty seriously.
00:50:31.000Wesley Lowry, a CBS News correspondent who's been a voice for more diverse and politically engaged journalism, said he'd already seen signs of change.
00:50:38.000He said these big institutions very rarely come out and announce some big sweeping change.
00:50:41.000They say we're not changing and they change.
00:50:43.000Even people who made a big deal about how the rebels were wrong are now conceding to the things we all wanted.
00:50:47.000Wesley Lowry, by the way, a CBS News correspondent, is a person who says that all journalism should be openly partisan.
00:50:56.000So, if Biden is elected, watch for more open partisan journalism on behalf of Joe Biden.
00:51:01.000Watch for attacks on your fundamental rights.
00:51:03.000Watch for attacks on the institutions of the United States.
00:51:07.000Watch, by the way, for an economy that is going to stagnate pretty quickly.
00:51:12.000All of these things are things that are likely to happen if Joe Biden is elected.
00:51:15.000So go out and vote if you like the institutions.
00:51:17.000If you like the fact that on Election Day, we all get to exercise our rights in freedom, then maybe you should vote to preserve those freedoms because in the long run, the agenda of the Democratic Party does not square with many of those fundamental freedoms.
00:51:29.000And while you're voting, be grateful that you live in a country as wonderful as the United States.
00:51:32.000And think about maybe why the United States is so great and what we can do to uphold that.
00:51:36.000What we can do to, in President Trump's phrase, make America great again.
