00:00:00.000 If Hillary Clinton becomes President of the United States tonight, God forbid, she'll have one force to thank above all others. 1.00

00:00:05.000 The love and protection of the mainstream media.

00:00:08.000 Yes, they've covered her foibles, but only after being forced to do so by WikiLeaks and the FBI.

00:00:13.000 Sure, they've criticized her, but only just enough to maintain the patina of credibility.

00:00:18.000 In reality,

00:00:18.000 The media pushed Clinton to her perch atop the Democratic Party, then ensured that she would stay there despite being destroyed by Barack Obama in 2008 and nearly beaten by septuagenarian asylum escapee Bernie Sanders in 2016.

00:00:31.000 A charisma-free, grating personality, visionless candidate like Hillary never could have ascended to the White House without her friends in the media. 0.98

00:00:38.000 If nothing else, this election has exposed the media for what they are.

00:00:42.000 Between new Democratic National Committee Chair Donna Brazile funneling CNN town hall questions to Hillary, and the networks running anti-Trump fact-checking chyrons under Trump's speeches, the media have made pretty clear where they stand.

00:00:53.000 Which is a good thing!

00:00:54.000 Next time around, no matter how this goes, Republicans will have one crucial advantage.

00:00:58.000 Nobody, nobody, nobody will trust the lying media to tell the truth about the next Republican.

00:01:03.000 HBO's Bill Maher admitted he'd spent more than a decade fibbing about Republicans and their Hitlerian tendencies, then of course immediately called Donald Trump Hitler.

00:01:10.000 He'll do the same thing in 2020, but Americans won't take him seriously.

00:01:13.000 After all, we've now seen the Democrats and the media, but I repeat myself, will treat Mitt Romney and Donald Trump exactly the same way, which means they'll treat the 2020 nominee, if Trump loses, the same way.

00:01:24.000 Which means we should never, ever, ever take their opinions seriously on candidates ever again.

00:01:29.000 This election has been a real acid test for everyone from Democrats to Republicans.

00:01:33.000 But the ultimate losers of this acid test are the members of the press, who may have told the partial truth about Donald Trump, but in doing so demonstrated how often they lie outright about non-Trump Republicans and in favor of all Democrats.

00:01:45.000 I'm Ben Shapiro.

00:01:46.000 This is The Ben Shapiro Show.

00:01:52.000 So today has come.

00:01:53.000 Election day is here and we have so much to talk about.

00:01:56.000 I'm going to give you sort of my election guide.

00:01:57.000 I'm going to give you five arguments in favor of voting for Donald Trump and five arguments against voting for Donald Trump.

00:02:03.000 Today we'll try to be as fair-minded about that as possible.

00:02:05.000 We'll go through all of the news of the day.

00:02:07.000 But first, we have to say hello to our friends over at Birch Gold.

00:02:09.000 So if you're feeling uncertain, if you're feeling wary about the future,

00:02:13.000 If you're feeling as though you're adrift in a sea of crap, well, perhaps you should think about investing in precious metals to protect yourself from the vagaries and vicissitudes of the United States economy, particularly in real estate and the stock market.

00:02:25.000 Birchgold.com is the place to go for that. 0.90

00:02:30.000 These are the precious metal IRA specialists.

00:02:32.000 If you want to move your IRA or 401k,

00:02:34.000 I think?

00:03:04.000 Okay.

00:03:05.000 So, today is the day.

00:03:07.000 We have finally arrived.

00:03:08.000 You didn't think that it would happen, and let me tell you, everybody is very excited to vote.

00:03:12.000 This is a live video from people rushing out to the polls, actually.

00:03:15.000 Yep, there it is.

00:03:18.000 People very pumped up about voting today, and I'm very excited to announce that we have a real choice on our hands.

00:03:24.000 It's a pretty spectacular choice between two of the best candidates America has to offer.

00:03:29.000 This is Debate 2004 with your host, Jim Lehrer.

00:03:33.000 Welcome to the cable access televised debate between a giant douche and a turd sandwich.

00:03:39.000 We'll start with giant douche. 1.00

00:03:41.000 Sir, some students and parents are reluctant to have a giant douche represent them.

00:03:45.000 What do you say to those people?

00:03:47.000 Jim, first of all, I would like to thank you for monitoring this debate.

00:03:50.000 And I would like to thank all of the students and their parents for coming. 0.99

00:03:53.000 Uh, suck up! 1.00

00:03:54.000 Suck up! 1.00

00:03:55.000 Shh! 1.00

00:03:56.000 What? 0.98

00:03:56.000 That's an obvious suck up move. 0.98

00:03:57.000 But I would hope that those students and their parents who question my qualities would simply look at my opponent. 0.99

00:04:04.000 He is a turd sandwich. 0.99

00:04:06.000 You're a turd sandwich. 0.99

00:04:08.000 No, sir, if you'll pardon me, you are in fact the turd sandwich. 0.99

00:04:11.000 You're a turd sandwich. 0.99

00:04:13.000 Sir, you are a turd, Sam. 1.00

00:04:15.000 You're a turd, Sam. 0.99

00:04:15.000 So who's excited to vote today, guys? 0.99

00:04:16.000 Pretty exciting.

00:04:17.000 And in fact, you know, look, it is a binary vote.

00:04:20.000 It's a two-party system.

00:04:21.000 One or the other of these people are going to win, and it really matters.

00:04:24.000 We've been told this is the most important election of our lifetime.

00:04:26.000 Hey, it's a two-party system.

00:04:29.000 Politics of failure have failed.

00:04:31.000 We need to make them work again.

00:04:33.000 Tomorrow, when you are sealed in the voting cubicle, vote for me, Senator K- Bob Dole!

00:04:43.000 I am looking forward to an orderly election tomorrow, which will eliminate the need for a violent bloodbath.

00:04:57.000 America!

00:04:58.000 Take a good look at your beloved candidates! 1.00

00:05:00.000 They're nothing but hideous space reptiles! 0.99

00:05:09.000 It's true. 0.81

00:05:10.000 We are aliens.

00:05:11.000 But what are you going to do about it?

00:05:13.000 It's a two-party system.

00:05:15.000 You have to vote for one of us.

00:05:17.000 He's right.

00:05:18.000 This is a two-party system.

00:05:19.000 Well, I believe I'll vote for a third-party candidate.

00:05:22.000 Go ahead.

00:05:23.000 Throw your vote away!

00:05:29.000 Oh, yes, it's a very important election.

00:05:31.000 It is.

00:05:32.000 It's very, very important, this election.

00:05:35.000 And, you know, look, the fact is that we're lucky.

00:05:37.000 We live in a country where voting is an everyday process, where it's easy and it's free.

00:05:41.000 And everyday processes never have bad consequences at all, as you see.

00:05:44.000 Yeah.

00:05:48.000 Yeah.

00:05:49.000 Well, there may be some bad consequences.

00:05:55.000 Yeah, it could go badly.

00:05:57.000 And I know everybody is very up today.

00:05:58.000 Everybody's very excited.

00:05:59.000 I know that people are eager to go to the polls.

00:06:01.000 People are just, people are really, really, really excited.

00:06:05.000 We're really feeling it today.

00:06:07.000 I mean, we have some live footage from some folks, you know, just, and, and, you know, how people are really feeling just about this election cycle.

00:06:14.000 You know, make sure you enjoy a drink today.

00:06:18.000 You know, just feel good about yourself, because it's America.

00:06:22.000 Yeah, just, you really got, yeah, that's how we're feeling today.

00:06:28.000 America is soaring like an eagle today.

00:06:31.000 We are just, we're flying like an eagle into the future.

00:06:37.000 Make sure that you dress up when you go to the polls today as well.

00:06:39.000 I mean, put on your Tuesday best, as I like to say.

00:06:43.000 And I know I'm pretty stoked for the election results tonight.

00:06:50.000 Yep, just launch yourself right into the stratosphere.

00:06:52.000 That's how things are just going spectacularly today.

00:06:55.000 You know, this is how I sort of feel about this, I gotta be honest.

00:06:59.000 If you're really revved up for the vote today, I don't blame you.

00:07:01.000 I mean, it's an exciting day.

00:07:03.000 It really, really is exciting.

00:07:08.000 And if all else fails, I mean, if all else fails, then you can always just hang under your favorite tree.

00:07:14.000 You can do that as well.

00:07:23.000 I know everybody's very pumped up and I know we're all excited to go, but look, the outcome is already preordained.

00:07:27.000 There are only going to be winners in this election cycle.

00:07:34.000 We laugh so we don't cry, folks.

00:07:35.000 I mean, this is just the way that this has to be.

00:07:39.000 It's pretty spectacular.

00:07:40.000 Okay, so here is the deal.

00:07:44.000 All joking aside, it's a crappy day.

00:07:47.000 It's just a crappy day.

00:08:09.000 Neither of them meet my basic standard for human beings who get to be President of the United States, and my vote means something to me beyond the instrument of my vote.

00:08:16.000 But, I want to go through the honest arguments for voting for Donald Trump, because I think that there are a lot of people who are convinced by these arguments, and I'm not going to try and argue you out of it.

00:08:25.000 I'm just going to make the arguments on both sides.

00:08:26.000 So, I think there are five good arguments for voting for Donald Trump.

00:08:30.000 First of all, there are people who argue that if you're voting for Trump, you're not voting for Trump the person, you're voting for Donald Trump's platform, or against Hillary Clinton's platform.

00:08:38.000 So you don't have any moral qualms, right?

00:08:39.000 My vote for Trump is not a vote for Trump.

00:08:41.000 It's a vote for all these other things that I think are not Trump.

00:08:45.000 Dennis Prager says this, my friend.

00:08:46.000 He says that voting Trump is the most decent thing you can do with your vote.

00:08:49.000 You're showing Hillary that she can't get away with this sort of corruption and leftism.

00:08:53.000 Your vote is just a vote.

00:08:54.000 It expires November 9th.

00:08:55.000 You might as well use it against the person you like the least.

00:08:58.000 Your vote is an instrument of policy only.

00:09:00.000 Then there's the most popular pro-Trump argument, which is really just that Trump is better than Hillary.

00:09:05.000 Right, the argument that you saw in that South Park cartoon, that Trump is better than Hillary.

00:09:08.000 Andrew Klavan, my good friend, we were having a knockdown-dragout battle before the show about this particular argument, but basically what he says is that there's a binary election.

00:09:16.000 One of these two people is going to be president, and he writes today, in principle, and to some degree in truth, for a conservative not to choose is to give aid to the greater leftist Hillary Clinton.

00:09:23.000 These people are bad, but one of them is going to be president, and if one is better than the other, it's my patriotic duty to try to figure out which one that is and vote for him or her.

00:09:32.000 Trump is clearly better.

00:09:33.000 Dennis, of course, agrees.

00:09:34.000 He has a piece over at National Review today.

00:09:36.000 He says, the only relevant moral lesson here is not that the lesser of two evils is still evil.

00:09:41.000 It is that choosing the lesser of two evils, by definition, increases good.

00:09:45.000 And he says that we know Hillary will be awful.

00:09:47.000 Trump may not be.

00:09:48.000 And Victor Davis Hanson basically says that on a bunch of issues like the Supreme Court and Obamacare and the debt and rebuilding the military and the Second Amendment, Trump is different than Hillary and better than Hillary.

00:09:57.000 So that's the Trump is better than Hillary argument, which has some merit to it.

00:10:01.000 Third argument in favor of voting for Donald Trump today.

00:10:05.000 And this comes from Ed Morrissey at Hot Air, and Drew makes the same argument.

00:10:09.000 Basically, Trump is less corrupt than Hillary Clinton.

00:10:12.000 He's been part of this crony capitalist machine, but Hillary has actively corrupted government. 1.00

00:10:17.000 That's what Ed Morrissey writes at Hot Air.

00:10:19.000 Drew says, there will be moments of grotesque bad behavior that will lower the dignity of the office from Trump, but they'll be nowhere near as damaging as a new Clinton-ocracy.

00:10:26.000 She'll corrupt government itself. 1.00

00:10:27.000 Trump's a goon, but if he were as dirty as Clinton, we'd already know about it. 0.96

00:10:31.000 So Clinton will corrupt government in a new way by exposing the executive branch to her corruption even more than what Obama has done. 1.00

00:10:38.000 Trump won't do the same thing.

00:10:40.000 He may not drain the swamp, as he's fond of saying, but he'll be better than Hillary on that.

00:10:44.000 The fourth argument that I've seen is, why worry about character?

00:10:47.000 Why worry about any of Trump's foibles?

00:10:48.000 Why worry about the fact that the guy's terrible?

00:10:51.000 The Democrats do this stuff all the time.

00:10:52.000 Why hand them the electoral advantage?

00:10:55.000 Why would we hand them the electoral advantage of they solidify behind their candidate no matter who he or she is?

00:11:02.000 Well, we have qualms.

00:11:03.000 We can't hand them that sort of advantage.

00:11:05.000 Republicans have to hold their note and vote in the same way the Democrats hold their nose and vote, or we'll never win another election.

00:11:11.000 And finally, there's the argument that I think underlies a lot of this, and this one comes courtesy of Dennis as well.

00:11:17.000 Also, this is the Flight 93 election argument.

00:11:20.000 And Dennis says that he's not willing to turn America over to four more years of leftism since the damage would be permanent.

00:11:25.000 He says, America, as envisioned since its founding, as the world's beacon of individual liberty, Lincoln's last best hope of earth, it won't be here.

00:11:32.000 This is the end stop.

00:11:33.000 This is the last stop.

00:11:34.000 If it's the last stop, you can either go to Trump Town or you can go to Hillaryville.

00:11:36.000 Those are the only two choices.

00:11:38.000 The last stop on the train is this election cycle.

00:11:41.000 That's it.

00:11:41.000 We're done.

00:11:42.000 Okay?

00:11:42.000 And Flight 93 election basically says the same thing.

00:11:45.000 We're either hitting the building or hitting the ground, but this is the last stop for the plane, so you may as well hit the ground as opposed to letting this hit the World Trade Centers.

00:11:53.000 Now, here are the arguments, and a lot of people find these arguments convincing.

00:11:56.000 I'm not going to try to convince you that those arguments are wrong or false.

00:12:00.000 I think they're flawed.

00:12:01.000 I do.

00:12:01.000 That's why I'm not voting.

00:12:02.000 But I find some of these arguments have logic that is compelling.

00:12:06.000 Okay, now I want to talk about the five arguments against voting for Trump from a conservative perspective.

00:12:10.000 And note, by the way, there are zero arguments for voting for Hillary.

00:12:13.000 There are no arguments for voting for Hillary.

00:12:15.000 Hillary does not reflect any character or policy positions that conservatives should support in any way and in fact it is imperative that conservatives never show support for Hillary Clinton because then it gives her permission to do all the terrible things that she's going to do.

00:12:28.000 So these are just five arguments basically for voting for McMullin or for not voting at the top of the ticket at all.

00:12:33.000 I voted today already in California.

00:12:35.000 I did not vote at the top of the ticket which is something I did not foresee certainly when this election cycle started and makes me sick to my stomach as I sit here.

00:12:42.000 Okay, so here are five arguments for foregoing voting in favor of Donald Trump.

00:12:48.000 First of all, your vote is more, and I think this is true, your vote is more than an instrument of policy.

00:12:53.000 So the Trump people say, look, your vote is a coupon, it expires November 9th, and that's it.

00:12:57.000 You use it, you don't use it, doesn't really matter to anybody else, your vote's your vote, that's all.

00:13:03.000 I don't think that's true, particularly for public figures.

00:13:05.000 When you vote, you send a message.

00:13:06.000 This is acceptable.

00:13:07.000 It's the reason I would never vote for Hillary Clinton.

00:13:09.000 You cannot vote against Hillary without also voting for Donald Trump.

00:13:14.000 You can't.

00:13:14.000 Everybody inherently understands this.

00:13:16.000 If you can simply vote for one or the other as an instrument of policy, a lot of Republicans would vote for somebody like David Duke to repeal Obamacare in the Senate.

00:13:24.000 So ask yourself this.

00:13:25.000 You have a minimum standard.

00:13:26.000 Everybody has a minimum standard of a Republican who they think they agree with more on policy but they wouldn't vote for on character grounds.

00:13:33.000 Does Donald Trump meet your basic standard on character grounds?

00:13:36.000 Trump may meet your standard for president, but if he doesn't, that's a problem even if you hate and despise Hillary Clinton and think she'll be terrible as I do.

00:13:44.000 Donald Trump's policy knowledge is nil.

00:13:46.000 He's an ad hoc nationalist populist. 0.63

00:13:48.000 He panders to some of the worst people on the planet, from Vladimir Putin to the alt-right.

00:13:52.000 He has no history of listening to his advisors, despite all talk to the contrary.

00:13:55.000 He said he wants to cut deal with Democrats.

00:13:57.000 He is toxic to every demographic group that is growing in the United States. 0.79

00:14:00.000 He's the worst Republican candidate of my lifetime, which is why he's losing to the worst Democratic candidate of my lifetime, Hillary Clinton. 0.83

00:14:06.000 If he earned your vote,

00:14:08.000 Then you earned your vote.

00:14:09.000 But if you didn't earn your vote, then maybe your vote has to be earned.

00:14:12.000 Maybe it's not just a coupon that expires November 9th.

00:14:14.000 That's argument number one.

00:14:15.000 Your vote is more than an instrument of policy.

00:14:17.000 It says something about your minimum standards for qualifications for the Oval Office.

00:14:21.000 Argument number two.

00:14:22.000 Okay, the Trump that people have been building up is fantasy Trump.

00:14:25.000 Trump will not just be a—he won't be a good president. 0.64

00:14:28.000 He'll be a mediocrity at best.

00:14:29.000 So let's not make the argument that Trump is going to be some sort of great god-king who comes in and fixes everything.

00:14:34.000 It's not true.

00:14:35.000 Okay, first of all, on Supreme Court justices, which is the one you hear all the time, the chances that Donald Trump nominates and confirms a Supreme Court justice who is conservative are essentially nil.

00:14:45.000 This entire election cycle was predicated on the idea that Senator Mitch McConnell, the Senate Majority Leader, that Senator Mitch McConnell was going to ram through, was a wimp.

00:14:54.000 I mean, that was the entire, the entire election cycle was Mitch McConnell's a giant pansy.

00:14:57.000 We need somebody who's a tough guy.

00:14:59.000 That was the entire election cycle, right?

00:15:01.000 Well, now the idea is Donald Trump's gonna nominate somebody, Mitch McConnell will have maybe 50 senators, maybe 50 senators, and then he's gonna ram through a conservative?

00:15:10.000 Using the nuclear option?

00:15:11.000 It ain't gonna happen.

00:15:12.000 Okay?

00:15:13.000 He's awful on trade, Trump is.

00:15:14.000 I don't

00:15:36.000 So, you don't have to create fantasy Trump, but people have been creating fantasy Trump, which means that the fourth argument against voting Trump is happening right now.

00:15:44.000 Handing the conservative movement over to Trump is a big mistake.

00:15:48.000 If you support Trump, it means you're handing party leadership over to him.

00:15:51.000 It means carving the heart out of a possible constitutional conservative party and replacing it with Steve Bannon-esque nationalist populism, Trumpian nationalist populism, which basically is just big government leftism on behalf of a voting bloc that Donald Trump likes better.

00:16:05.000 Donald Trump has never talked about freedom or liberty.

00:16:07.000 He doesn't care about the Constitution.

00:16:08.000 He actually sees these things as obstacles to his Trumpian rule and fixing all the problems, unrigging, uncucking the system for his supporters.

00:16:17.000 It turns the Republican Party into a far-right nationalist party from Europe, and that's not something I want to see happen.

00:16:23.000 Fourth argument.

00:16:24.000 Republicans are better than Democrats, okay?

00:16:26.000 The argument before from the other side was Republicans have to act like Democrats if we want to win.

00:16:30.000 The counter-argument is Republicans should never act like Democrats because Democrats act like bad people when it comes to elections, and we shouldn't just fall into that trap morally.

00:16:38.000 And finally, this is the one I think is the most real.

00:16:41.000 This is not the last election.

00:16:42.000 This is not the last election, okay? 0.98

00:16:44.000 Hillary will be an awful president. 1.00

00:16:45.000 Chances are she will also be a weak president. 1.00

00:16:47.000 She'll be crippled by her own corruption. 1.00

00:16:49.000 She will probably experience a recession while she's president of the United States. 0.99

00:16:52.000 She's gonna have to fight a Republican Congress, and if not a Republican Senate this year, then a Republican Senate in two years in 2018. 1.00

00:16:58.000 Hillary lost to Obama in 2008. 0.62

00:17:00.000 She nearly lost to an old socialist loon bag in 2016.

00:17:04.000 The chances are pretty good that she loses in four years.

00:17:06.000 So, if this isn't the last election ever, you have to make a calculation.

00:17:10.000 Do you think that Hillary Clinton for four years is worse than Republicans for the next eight after that?

00:17:17.000 Non-Trump Republicans for the next eight after that?

00:17:19.000 Or do you think that Donald Trump's mediocrity for four years is better than eight years of Democratic dominance after that?

00:17:26.000 Because let's face this thing, okay?

00:17:27.000 If Donald Trump wins today, he's not going to be winning in four years.

00:17:30.000 He's not going to be running against the worst candidate Democrats have ever fielded.

00:17:33.000 It's not going to happen.

00:17:34.000 They'll run somebody young.

00:17:35.000 They'll run somebody better.

00:17:36.000 They'll run somebody who's likely to beat Donald Trump, who is really, really unpopular.

00:17:40.000 Plus, Donald Trump's going to spend the next four years making asinine comments about every minority group that he can possibly find and alienating all of them.

00:17:47.000 So those are the arguments against voting for Trump.

00:17:49.000 So now it's up to you.

00:17:50.000 You're an adult.

00:17:51.000 I've given you all the arguments for voting Trump that are good, and I've given you all the arguments for voting against Trump, and those are all the arguments.

00:17:59.000 You have to take a—well, you consider your vote.

00:18:01.000 We have to take a brief break and say hello to our advertisers over at Lyft.

00:18:05.000 So Lyft is the best car share service, the best car sharing service.

00:18:10.000 There's a reason that President Obama wants to become a driver for the other car share service.

00:18:14.000 Lyft is the best one.

00:18:15.000 I know this because my wife takes Lyft when she has to get off rotations late at night.

00:18:19.000 She's a doctor.

00:18:20.000 She gets off rotations late at night, and she's too tired to drive because it's unsafe.

00:18:24.000 I trust my wife's safety with Lyft, and so does she.

00:18:27.000 And that means that they really screen their drivers in a pretty thoroughgoing way.

00:18:31.000 All their cars have to be, I think, within the last five years.

00:18:34.000 You can tip in the app, which leads to happier drivers and better drivers who are driving for Lyft.

00:18:40.000 It isn't the biggest ride-sharing app, but it is the fastest growing and the highest rated ride-sharing app.

00:18:43.000 Lyft offers our listeners a special deal.

00:18:46.000 If you get the app and you enter promo code SHAPIRO, then you get $30 off.

00:18:50.000 You get a $30 value.

00:18:52.000 Three free rides of $10 is what you get if you use Lyft and you use the promo code SHAPIRO today.

00:18:57.000 And it is the best ride-sharing app there is in the country.

00:19:00.000 That's promo code SHAPIRO.

00:19:01.000 And again, I wouldn't trust them with my wife's safety unless I actually thought that they were a service that is worth using that is Lyft.

00:19:08.000 So download the app today.

00:19:09.000 On your phone, they really are.

00:19:10.000 Terrific.

00:19:10.000 Okay, so all of that said, everybody is now making their final pitches.

00:19:14.000 Barack Obama is making his final pitch, and again, every time you listen to Democrats, this is the way that this election works. 0.98

00:19:20.000 Every time you listen to Democrats, you want to vote Republican, and every time you listen to Donald Trump, you want to shoot yourself in the face.

00:19:25.000 So, Barack Obama makes his final pitch, and he makes a strong plea why you should vote for Donald Trump.

00:19:32.000 Here he is saying that we have to make the GOP pay for not listening to me.

00:19:35.000 You know, gridlock is not mysterious.

00:19:38.000 It's not something that happens because both sides are being equally unreasonable.

00:19:43.000 It has been a stated Republican strategy since I took office.

00:19:48.000 And the only way to break it is to make those who engage in it pay a price.

00:19:55.000 By electing more Democrats tomorrow.

00:19:58.000 Okay, so he says that we have to elect Democrats because that way people like Obama can ram through their agenda.

00:20:03.000 Thankfully, it looks like the Senate is, at least today, the polls show that it's pretty dead even.

00:20:07.000 Republicans will maintain the House.

00:20:09.000 A good shot that Republicans may even keep the Senate.

00:20:12.000 538 has it as a toss-up right now, like literally 50-50.

00:20:14.000 I think it's 50.3% chance Democrats take the Senate, 49.7% chance Republicans maintain the Senate.

00:20:21.000 At the very least, you have to vote today and vote down ticket, even if you choose not to vote for Trump.

00:20:25.000 You have to vote down ticket for your senator to stop Hillary Clinton and stop the left's agenda. 1.00

00:20:29.000 Because the fact is that Obama is just, whatever you think of Mitch McConnell and the senators, and I think that a lot of them are terrible, the fact is that Obama's agenda in the first two years does not even come close to what he was not able to accomplish in the last six.

00:20:42.000 All of his hard work, Obamacare, the stimulus package, all the most brutal stuff that Obama did except for DACA and the executive orders, the immigration executive orders, which he could have done anyway because he did it as the president, and then he lost in court about it.

00:20:56.000 All of that happened in the first two years.

00:20:57.000 Handing Hillary Clinton the Democratic Senate is a dangerous, dangerous thing, and we should make Hillary Clinton pay. 1.00

00:21:03.000 At the very least, by giving her a Congress that she has to overcome.
