00:00:00.000Joe Biden declares the election over and the media demand Republicans repeat that.
00:00:04.000Republicans claim voter fraud and irregularity while Attorney General William Barr authorizes investigations and Pfizer develops a miraculous vaccine possibility for COVID.
00:00:25.000We'll get to everything in the news in just one moment.
00:00:27.000First, let us talk about the fact that everybody wishes that Black Friday and Cyber Monday, that these were everyday things because you could save lots of money.
00:00:35.000For you to save lots of money without changing anything that matters to you in terms of quality, I'm talking about your cell phone coverage.
00:00:42.000So, you got coverage from Verizon or AT&T or T-Mobile.
00:00:45.000What if you could get that exact same coverage but save a bundle on that coverage?
00:00:48.000Well, this is where Pure Talk USA comes in.
00:00:50.000Pure Talk can easily save you over 400 bucks a year.
00:00:53.000Unlimited talk, text, 2 gigs of data for just $20 a month.
00:00:57.000If you go over on data usage, they don't charge you for it.
00:00:59.000One of the ways that the cell phone providers get you is they charge you for unlimited data that you are not using because it is literally impossible to use unlimited data.
00:01:06.000Pure Talk USA is not going to overcharge you for the data.
00:01:08.000Switching to PeerTalk is the easiest decision you will make today.
00:01:11.000You can keep your phone and your number, or get great deals on the latest iPhones and Android.
00:01:35.000The media have declared that the election is over.
00:01:38.000And as I've kept saying, I've been saying this consistently, I've said it since Tuesday night, the election is over when the election is over.
00:01:46.000Until all of the legal lawsuits come to an end, until the election results are certified, until the electors are selected and then actually vote, the election is not technically over.
00:01:55.000And while everyone seems to be panicking, like really, like sheer panic in the media over the fact that Trump has not conceded the election, Who cares?
00:02:04.000I understand that there are lots of people who are very upset that Trump hasn't conceded the election and think it's undermining the integrity of our elections and that more Americans are not going to believe in the integrity of our elections.
00:02:14.000OK, let me just tell you, it's a temporary phenomenon.
00:02:17.000The reality of the situation is that Americans typically don't tend to believe in elections when the elections don't go their way.
00:02:23.000And this holds true for literally every election.
00:02:26.000OK, it's certainly been true since 2016.
00:02:29.000So there are a lot of people today who are pointing to Gallup polling results showing that when it asked about election integrity, election integrity for Democrats, their belief in election integrity began to soar as soon as they thought they'd won the election.
00:02:42.000They're not talking so much about that, right?
00:02:44.000But if you go back all the way to, say, October 21st, on October 21st, only a bare majority of Democrats said that the election of 2020 was going to be free and fair.
00:02:54.000And you're not seeing the media talk about that today because that would undercut their narrative.
00:02:58.000Which is that only Republicans doubt elections, and the reason they doubt elections is because of Trump.
00:03:02.000The fact is, the media were saying for months that we were going to get serious voter suppression, that Trump was moving mailboxes, that the mail service was going to somehow disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of people.
00:03:11.000And so if you look back at the polling data, by polling data, Democrats on October 21st, only 51% said they thought that the election was going to be free and fair.
00:03:18.000That same date, only 53% of Republicans thought the elections were going to be free and fair.
00:03:22.000And more than either, independents thought the elections were not going to be free and fair.
00:03:26.000Only 45% of independents thought the election was going to be free and fair.
00:03:29.000In fact, on October 15th, just a week before that, only 40% of independents thought the elections were going to be free and fair.
00:03:34.000Okay, so there's a lot of fluctuation in these numbers.
00:03:37.000Now, after the election, when Democrats think that they won the national election, when they think that Joe Biden was elected, 90% of Democrats now say that they believe that the elections were free and fair.
00:04:13.000And now, 90% of Democrats think the elections are free and fair.
00:04:16.000So, can we just point out that the stats on whether people think elections are free and fair are innately tied to who they think wins the election?
00:04:23.000If you think your guy lost, you think he got cheated.
00:04:25.000And if you think that your guy won, you think the election system was perfect.
00:04:47.000The fact that the process is taking, like, we are so impatient in our society that this thing wasn't called Tuesday night or Wednesday morning and everybody started running around with their hair on fire.
00:05:04.000Trump is not going to lock the doors and start snorting coke and firing guns through the door if, in fact, he is deemed to be the loser of the election by the legal process.
00:05:12.000And just because CNN or MSNBC or Fox News declare something, there is no constitutional provision that says that this now ends the election and the election is over.
00:05:18.000And if you don't repeat it, this means you're a very bad, terrible, no good, very bad person.
00:05:22.000The reality is that if you look at this thing in the bare light of day, Joe Biden looks more likely to be the President of the United States when all of this is said and done come January 20th.
00:05:29.000And the reason for that is because currently he has a 12,000 vote lead in Georgia, a 15,000 vote lead in Arizona, a 36,000 vote lead in Nevada, and a 45,000 vote lead in Pennsylvania.
00:05:38.000In order for Donald Trump to win the election, he would need to overturn the results in Georgia, Arizona, and Pennsylvania, or get those states booted out of court.
00:05:47.000So if you had to lay money on this thing, you'd lay heavy money on Joe Biden being inaugurated in January.
00:05:52.000But that does not mean that the process is over, nor does it mean that if the Trump campaign shows significant evidence of voter fraud, like really, really significant, like in the tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of votes, That wouldn't shift the election.
00:06:04.000Is that sort of a hope and a prayer for a lot of Republicans?
00:06:14.000They are absolutely going to be able to find evidence of that because in an election that involves 150 million people voting, you would assume that there are going to be some people who engage in voter fraud and voter irregularity.
00:06:24.000And that is a very large number, 150 million people.
00:06:27.000But it's a very hard stone to lift to suggest that hundreds of thousands of votes were shifted by voter fraud or to prove that in court.
00:06:33.000So people might be suspicious after the election.
00:06:36.000Hell, after the election in 2016, 67% of Democrats, literally 67% of Democrats by polling data said that the Russians had switched the vote numbers.
00:06:45.000So spare me all the hysterics about people think the elections are rigged and it's going to completely destroy our democracy.
00:06:52.000Same poll today from Morning Consult that's showing that only 26% of Republicans say the elections were free and fair, showed that in 2016, only 39% of Democrats thought the elections were free and fair.
00:07:04.000Is that because they're super consistent about American elections being free and fair, or is it because people tend to follow their partisan nose?
00:07:11.000The last time that there was no partisan gap in terms of election process and people thinking the election was fair was 2004.
00:07:19.000In that election, 65% of Independents, 68% of Democrats, and 66% of Republicans thought that the election was free and fair.
00:07:26.000But even if you go all the way back to 2000, only 44% of Democrats thought that the election was free and fair.
00:07:32.000In other words, in every election where your candidate loses, you tend to think that the process was skewed.
00:07:37.000And in every election where your candidate wins, you tend to think that the process was not skewed.
00:07:40.000So let's take with a grain of salt all of the talk about the end of democracy because this process is taking a while and because Trump won't concede and be great.
00:07:47.000First of all, do you really believe that if Trump said tomorrow, you're right, I lost.
00:07:51.000Do you think if he said that, that all of a sudden Republicans would be like sanguine about this thing?
00:07:55.000That they wouldn't suspect voter fraud or voter irregularity?
00:07:58.000Hillary Clinton, within the week of the election, conceded the election.
00:08:02.000And still, a vast majority of Democrats thought Russians had changed the votes.
00:08:06.000For four years, we got talk about how Trump was an illegitimate president and the election was fixed on behalf of Vladimir Putin and Facebook or some such nonsense.
00:08:13.000Okay, so again, take everything the media is telling you with a grain of salt.
00:08:17.000It is the formation of a narrative whereby anybody who wants to wait to declare the election over is a cat's paw of Donald Trump and is complicit in the rejection of the Republic There's a constitutional process.
00:08:29.000The constitutional process has not been violated as of yet.
00:08:32.000There's nothing in the constitutional process that says that Donald Trump has to concede before he gets to go through his legal challenges.
00:08:39.000So the media are trying to build up momentum for this idea, and this is what they constantly do.
00:08:44.000They find a statement that nobody really made, and then they ask every Republican to defend the statement that nobody really made.
00:08:50.000The media are a big story in all of this.
00:08:52.000The constant driver by the media is a false narrative that portrays one side as eminently reasonable and the other side as eminently unreasonable.
00:09:02.000Again, after years of declaring Stacey Abrams is still the governor of Georgia, spare me the hysterics about people who are wondering whether voter fraud and voter irregularity impacted this election.
00:09:11.000At least voter fraud and voter irregularity, you're gonna have to prove it.
00:09:15.000Voter suppression, there's no way to prove.
00:09:16.000Voter suppression is an unprovable thesis.
00:09:30.000And there's literally no way to prove that people who didn't vote didn't vote because they were suppressed, or because they just didn't want to, or for any other reason.
00:09:37.000Voter suppression is a far harder charge to prove than voter fraud.
00:09:39.000The good news is, at the end of this process, either large amounts of voter fraud and voter irregularity will have been proved, or they will not have been proved.
00:09:45.000So all of the kind of crazy, insane, hysterical conjecture about how the American Republic is on the brink and everything's going to end because Republicans are following Trump down the primrose.
00:09:56.000We've been hearing this crap for years.
00:10:05.000We're going to get to more of this in just one second.
00:10:08.000First, let us talk about the fact That not too long ago, over 100 million people had their personal information stolen in a major data breach.
00:10:15.000Social security numbers, contact details, credit scores, and more all taken from Capital One customers.
00:10:21.000Equifax, eBay, Uber, PlayStation, and Yahoo have all leaked passwords, credit card info, and bank numbers belonging to billions of users.
00:10:27.000If you think hackers only target large companies to get your information, you are wrong.
00:10:31.000That is why I use ExpressVPN to safeguard my personal data online.
00:10:34.000According to recent reports, hackers can make up to $1,000 from selling someone's personal information on the dark web, making people like you and me easy, lucrative targets.
00:10:42.000ExpressVPN is an app for your computer and phone that secures and encrypts your data so you can have peace of mind every time you go online.
00:11:37.000It's time to put aside the partisanship and the rhetoric that designed to demonize one another.
00:11:45.000It's time to end the politicization of basic, responsible public health steps like mask wearing and social distancing.
00:11:53.000We have to come together to heal the soul of this country so that we can effectively address this crisis as one country where hardworking Americans have each other's backs.
00:13:49.000Telling them that if they see credible evidence of election fraud, then they should investigate it.
00:13:53.000This is being taken by the media as a sign that William Barr has militarized on behalf of the Trump campaign.
00:13:59.000Literally changing the legal standard.
00:14:01.000So the headlines are William Barr initiates investigations and the media are like, yeah, but we don't see any evidence of serious widespread voter fraud.
00:14:11.000And by the way, people are saying that this is him, you know, basically trying to please Donald Trump, that this whole thing is about him trying to appease Donald Trump because Donald Trump doesn't want to accept that he lost the election or something.
00:14:21.000What if the reason that William Barr is doing this?
00:14:23.000I mean, here's here's a possible take.
00:14:25.000What if the reason William Barr is doing this is because, number one, there may actually be credible allegations of voter fraud out there that are worth investigating, and two, if there are not, it is good for the DOJ to be on record saying that they were investigating those things so people feel more safe and secure after the election is over.
00:14:38.000Did it ever occur to anybody that the reason this process exists is so that when the election is over, people at least are able to point to the court cases and to the investigations and say they came up empty?
00:14:48.000It turns out that the Mueller investigation, it was bad and it was badly predicated, but the Mueller investigation did justify Trump's claims that there was no collusion.
00:14:55.000It made it very difficult for Democrats to claim there was collusion.
00:14:58.000Well, after this election, let's say that the DOJ comes up with no serious allegations of widespread voter fraud.
00:15:02.000It's going to be a lot easier for people to point to that and say, okay, there was no widespread voter fraud that decided the election.
00:15:07.000The purpose of the process is not to come to a preset end.
00:15:10.000The purpose of the process is to ensure the integrity of the elections.
00:15:13.000Here was Attorney General William Barr's letter, he said, Last week, our nation once again demonstrated the strength of our democracy as more than 140 million Americans cast ballots to select their leaders. I want to thank each of you and your teams for your extraordinary efforts to ensure that all Americans could exercise this most fundamental of rights with confidence and in safety. Now that the voting has concluded, it is imperative that the American people can trust that our elections were conducted in such a way that the outcomes accurately reflect the will of the voters.
00:15:37.000Although the states have the primary responsibility to conduct and supervise elections under our Constitution and the laws enacted by Congress, the United States Department of Justice has an obligation to ensure that federal elections are conducted in such a way that the American people can have full confidence in their electoral process and their government.
00:15:51.000The Department's general policies with regard to election fraud investigations are contained in the Justice Manual.
00:15:56.000These policies require, among other things, consultation with the Public Integrity Section's Election Crimes Branch in some instances.
00:16:01.000Those policies already allow preliminary inquiries, including witness interviews, to be conducted without ECB consultation.
00:16:07.000In instances in which they are consulted, the ECB's general practice has been to counsel that overt investigative steps ordinarily should not be taken until the election in question has been concluded, its results certified, and all recounts and election contests concluded.
00:16:21.000Okay, so in other words, the process usually is that you don't open an investigation or announce an open investigation until after the election results are certified because the crime hasn't actually been finalized at that point.
00:16:35.000What Barr is saying is, here's the problem.
00:16:37.000We have an ongoing presidential election.
00:16:39.000There's a date certain at which the electors will vote on who the president-elect of the United States is.
00:16:43.000And we need to know before then exactly what the outcome of these investigations is going to be, whether they are serious or whether they are unserious.
00:17:07.000So he's saying expedite the process so that we can actually make sure that the right person is is elected to the president-elect of the United States.
00:17:16.000He says, In other words, the idea that the DOJ is now shifting votes.
00:17:19.000determinations and judgments must be made.
00:17:20.000While most allegations of purported election misconduct are of such a scale that would not impact the outcome of an election, and thus investigation can be appropriately be deferred, that is not always the case.
00:17:29.000Furthermore, any concerns that overt actions taken by the department could inadvertently impact an election are greatly minimized if they exist at all, once voting has concluded, even if election certification has not yet been completed.
00:17:39.000In other words, the idea that the DOJ is now shifting votes, there's no election to be had, the votes are already in.
00:17:44.000Given this, and given that voting in our current elections has now concluded, I authorize you to pursue substantial allegations of voting and vote tabulation irregularities prior to the certification of elections in your jurisdictions in certain cases, as I have already done in specific instances.
00:17:56.000Okay, now, this line has been taken out of context to suggest that Barr is overtly saying there has, in fact, been substantial allegations of voting and vote tabulation irregularities.
00:18:07.000He's saying if you identify such substantial allegations, you should investigate them.
00:18:12.000He is not averring that those vote tabulation and vote irregularities have been widespread.
00:18:17.000He is saying, if you find any evidence or allegations that such voting fraud has been widespread or regularity has been widespread, go ahead and investigate.
00:18:28.000He says, any investigation of claims of irregularities that, if true, would clearly not impact the outcome of a federal election in an individual state should normally be deferred until after the election certification process is completed.
00:18:38.000While US attorneys maintain their inherent authority to conduct inquiries and investigations as they deem appropriate, it will likely be prudent to commence any election-related matters as a preliminary inquiry so as to assess whether available evidence warrants further investigative steps.
00:18:51.000He says it is equally imperative that department personnel exercise appropriate caution and maintain the department's absolute commitment to fairness, neutrality, and nonpartisanship.
00:18:57.000You're the most senior leaders in the US Department of Justice.
00:19:00.000I trust you to exercise great care and judgment in addressing allegations of voting and vote tabulation irregularities.
00:19:05.000While serious allegations should be handled with great care, Specious, speculative, fanciful, or far-fetched claims should not be a basis for initiating federal inquiries.
00:19:13.000Nothing here should be taken as any indication that the Department has concluded that voting irregularities have impacted the outcome of any election.
00:19:19.000Rather, I provide this authority and guidance to emphasize the need to timely and appropriately address allegations of voting irregularities so that all of the American people, regardless of their preferred candidate or party, can have full confidence in the results of our elections.
00:19:31.000Okay, should this be wildly controversial?
00:19:38.000He's simply saying that instead of deferring the election investigation until after all of the votes have been certified, I'm now giving you the authority to go and investigate serious allegations of voter fraud if they arise.
00:19:49.000That seems perfectly appropriate to me.
00:19:51.000The idea that William Barr is now, you know, playing offense for Donald Trump here No, no, he's doing what the DOJ ought to be doing, which is investigating serious allegations of voter fraud before the possibility of the rectification of the problem disappears, because it does disappear on a particular date.
00:20:07.000OK, so in a second, we're going to get to some of the allegations that have been levied by the Trump campaign.
00:20:13.000We'll get to that and we'll get to the difficulty of the process, because the realistic And I think that it is important to note that so that we are realistic going forward.

00:22:40.000Enter code Shapiro for that special deal.
00:22:42.000OK, so let's get to some of the actual allegations here.
00:22:45.000So yesterday, Ronna McDaniel, who's the head of the RNC, she did a presser in which she announced that there were 131 affidavits completed in Michigan concerning voter fraud and voter irregularities.
00:22:54.000All of these, every single one should be investigated so long as they are credible.
00:22:59.000this afternoon, 131 affidavits have been completed just in Michigan, with over 2,800 incident reports that have been submitted to us since Election Day.
00:23:09.000Two new lawsuits were filed today by people who were working in Detroit, and a whistleblower who has gotten their information to the Eastern District Court of Michigan.
00:23:20.000Okay, so all of those should be investigated and will be investigated.
00:23:23.000It is worth noting at this point that 131 allegations or affidavits in Michigan is unlikely to change the voting outcome in Michigan because the fact is that in the presidential election, President Trump ended up Right now, he's down in the actual vote count by about 150,000 votes, 146,000 votes.
00:23:41.000So it's going to be difficult for him to overcome that burden, even with 131 affidavits.
00:23:45.000Now, listen, should our systems be cleaner?
00:24:02.000What it does mean is if you're expecting the outcome of the election to shift based on voter fraud or voter irregularity, you have to look at the actual hard numbers and the actual legal standard because there is a process.
00:24:13.000Now, there are cases where voter glitches do change outcomes.
00:24:17.000For example, Daily Wire, Ryan Savedra reporting, an incumbent Republican in Michigan actually went from losing his reelection race to winning it after officials discovered a technical glitch by which the results from seven precincts had been counted twice.
00:24:28.000Officials responded to the error by urging voters to have confidence in the system.
00:24:32.000Adam Kochendorfer, Republican of Rochester Hills, went to bed Tuesday night believing, with all precincts reporting, he had lost his seat on a 21-member board of commissioners to Democratic challenger Melanie Hartman by 104 votes, but there was a problem.
00:24:43.000According to the Oakland County Clerk Lisa Brown, the total from seven precincts in the city had been reported twice.
00:24:48.000So the final count correctly moved Kochendorfer from a 104-vote loss to a 1,127-vote victory.
00:24:56.000Okay, right, so these are small numbers, but those small numbers matter in an election in which there are only 40,000 total votes.
00:25:03.000It is important to note that the presence of voter fraud and voter irregularity does not mean that entire huge election swaths, decided by tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of votes, are going to switch.
00:25:12.000This is a point made by the Georgia Secretary of State yesterday.
00:25:15.000So he said, yeah, we're going to find voter fraud, and yeah, we're going to find voter irregularity.
00:25:18.000But he's a Republican Secretary of State in Georgia, by the way.
00:25:20.000He's saying that is not going to likely change the 12,000 vote margin in Georgia.
00:25:26.000Remember, Al Gore couldn't even get via recount in Florida and via all of the legal maneuvering.
00:25:31.000He couldn't even narrow a 1,000 vote differential between him and George W. Bush in 2000.
00:25:36.000Meanwhile, Lindsey Graham presented an affidavit from a Pennsylvania mail carrier.
00:25:45.000He's a mail carrier who claims he was instructed to collect late ballots with the apparent intent from postmaster Robert Weizenbach to backdate the votes.
00:25:51.000Hopkins made the claim in a signed affidavit under the penalty of perjury.
00:25:55.000Although, as I understand, Pennsylvania law ballots must be postmarked by 8 p.m.
00:25:58.000on Election Day, November 3rd, 2020 in Pennsylvania, Postmaster Robert Weizenbach directed my co-workers and I to pick up ballots after Election Day and provide them to him.
00:26:05.000The affidavit reads in part, adding, quote, I heard Weizenbach tell a supervisor at my office that Weizenbach was backdating the postmarks on the ballots to make it appear as though the ballots had been collected on November 3rd, 2020, despite them in fact being collected on November 4th and possibly later.
00:26:19.000Postal Service spokesperson told the outlet it was aware of Hopkins' claim and has referred the matter to the U.S.
00:26:30.000Graham said in a statement, it is imperative that all credible allegations of voting irregularities and misconduct be investigated, he said.
00:26:36.000The presidential election remains close in multiple states.
00:26:38.000As chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, all credible allegations of voting irregularities and misconduct will be taken seriously.
00:26:43.000I will not allow credible allegations of voting irregularities or misconduct to be swept under the rug.
00:27:01.000A third lawsuit has been filed over Michigan's vote count.
00:27:03.000This one was filed in Wayne County Circuit Court alleging problems with the counting process at TCF Center in Detroit.
00:27:09.000The filing relies on the affidavits of four Republican poll challengers and a city of Detroit employee who said she worked in the city's election headquarters through September, a satellite clerk's office in October, and the TCF Center the day after the election, is according to the Detroit News.
00:27:21.000Besides the affidavits, no actual evidence of the alleged issues was presented.
00:27:24.000The allegations range from restrictions on poll challengers, to late arriving batches of absentee ballots, to the encouragement of early voters to cast their ballots for Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.
00:27:33.000Election officials said they allowed the maximum number of poll watchers for both Democrats and Republicans, only restricting access to additional poll watchers because of COVID-19 concerns.
00:27:42.000The suit seeks an independent audit of the election, a halt to the certification of Wayne County votes, in order voiding the county's election results and the initiation of a new election in Wayne County. There's also there's already been judges who have turned this down. And meanwhile there's a lot of questions about Pennsylvania.
00:27:58.000Now, I think it is important here to distinguish between allegations of voter fraud and voter irregularity and the changing of the rules that happen in Pennsylvania.
00:28:06.000One reality here is that the changing of the rules all over the United States to allow for mail-in voting, not on request, not absentee voting that you get, you request a mail-in ballot, it comes to you, you then vote, but the vast sending of ballots to people Because of COVID or for any other reason?
00:28:23.000Because supposedly it was unsafe to vote in person even though we literally had tens of millions of people vote in person and no massive outbreak due to it.
00:28:29.000And we'd had evidence from earlier on.
00:28:31.000There was an election in Wisconsin earlier this year in which there were big lines to vote and no COVID outbreak.
00:28:37.000The changing of those rules is in fact a problem.
00:28:41.000And it's a problem that needs to be fixed.
00:28:42.000The changing of the rules to not allow pre-tabulation of the votes before the election day.
00:28:46.000That is a problem and it undercuts faith in the system.
00:28:52.000Pennsylvania rules that suggested that you might be able to count a ballot after it arrived after an election day without a postmark, right?
00:28:58.000That undercuts people's faith in the safety and security of the election system.
00:29:03.000All of those things are systemic changes that are dangerous.
00:29:06.000That is not quite the same as voter fraud or voter irregularity.
00:29:09.000So it's important to tease out the various issues for sure.
00:29:12.000You know, all of these issues, I believe, are going to be teased out.
00:29:16.000And I think that we are seeing responsible rhetoric from people like Mike Lee, from people like Mitch McConnell.
00:29:21.000We'll get to that in just one second, because while we are seeing responsible rhetoric, really, I don't think it's irresponsible for Republican senators to say the process is going to play out.
00:29:30.000Why is that more irresponsible than simply declaring the election is over and if you refuse to repeat it, you're a bad person?
00:29:35.000Which is the media's take on all of this.
00:29:37.000Here are some of the Republicans responding to all of this.
00:29:39.000So Mike Lee, the senator from Utah, he put out a statement.
00:29:41.000His statement says, Voters on both sides of the political aisle understandably expect and indeed deserve to have a high level of confidence in the results of each election.
00:29:52.000Especially in a close, hotly disputed presidential election, the candidates are uniquely positioned to decide whether to request recounts, verify the accuracy of data, and otherwise take steps to ensure that all votes have been counted properly and lawfully. I look forward to working with whichever candidate emerges as the winner at the end of this process. Okay, and then Mitch McConnell said yesterday, he was talking about, listen, the states haven't certified yet.
00:30:13.000So all of this talk about how if we refuse to just say President-elect Biden, it's because he literally is not President-elect Biden.
00:30:19.000We've had fact checkers who've been like white on rice going after every supposed misstatement by President Trump for four years.
00:31:15.000Okay, the reason it's wildly controversial is because the media have simply declared that the election is over and they want to move on with their lives, even though, again, the American public have very serious questions, many of them, about the irregularities and the possibility of people playing around with the election.
00:31:30.000So the New York Times has an entire article today about how evil Republicans are, how terrible, terrible Republicans are.
00:31:37.000Declining to recognize Biden's victory.
00:31:39.000McConnell says Trump is 100% entitled to challenge it.
00:31:42.000Okay, well, again, the Biden victory is still preliminary, considering not a single state has certified its election result.
00:31:49.000This idea that we have to bully every single Republican into saying that Biden is the president-elect, even though the process is not yet concluded, Concessions, when you concede an election, it makes things easier for everybody because everybody can then just move on with the assumption.
00:32:03.000But until it's actually formally appealed, that is the assumption, right?
00:32:10.000But the idea here is that you're very bad and you're undercutting the electoral integrity of the United States if you don't call for the assumption to be made across the board.
00:32:19.000And so you end up with stuff like this.
00:32:20.000So yesterday, Kayleigh McEnany was doing a presser talking about voting fraud and voting irregularities.
00:32:51.000You still gotta broadcast that because the American people are entitled to more information, not less.
00:32:56.000And you can always debunk it later, right?
00:32:58.000This is why they have fact-checkers, supposedly.
00:33:00.000But yesterday on Fox News, Fox News did something that, frankly, I haven't seen a lot.
00:33:04.000And it does demonstrate the level of the news media's arrogance when it comes to not just fact-checking news sources, but literally cutting them off because they don't like what they are saying.
00:33:14.000OK, so Kayleigh McEnany was on Fox News and Neil Cavuto, who I generally like, just cuts her off.
00:33:18.000She's doing a presser accusing Democrats of voting irregularities.
00:33:22.000And again, it's either going to be evidenced or it's not going to be evidenced.
00:33:24.000And if it's not evidenced, then people are going to say that Kayleigh McEnany wasn't telling the truth.
00:33:50.000Facebook's entire company is now being run by some woke staffers and a bunch of idiots at the New York Times who write op-eds and send nasty tweets about, ooh, look, look, look, Shapiro's page, Dan Bongino's page, Mark Levin's page.
00:35:02.000I mean, seriously, couldn't you just come on right after that and say, you know, I don't think she provided any evidence of those pretty outrageous charges?
00:35:08.000Couldn't you just come on and say, I can't and good countenance continue showing you this?
00:35:26.000I want my media outlet censoring what I can see and what I can hear.
00:35:28.000That is definitely what I am looking for here.
00:35:31.000And that kind of stuff from Fox News, even the Fox News host last night, Tucker, was like, our own network is beclowning itself here.
00:35:38.000That followed hard on an outtake from Sandra Smith on Fox News, acting exasperated when other guests on Fox News said, oh, you know what?
00:35:46.000We might want to wait for the legal process to play itself out.
00:35:48.000And Sandra Smith didn't realize she was still on camera and was rather skeptical of this claim.
00:35:53.000Whoever has decided to be the president, remember, just because CNN says or even Fox News says that somebody's president doesn't make them president.
00:36:01.000So I think everybody wants to know that this was done properly and legally.
00:36:14.000I only have one problem with this, which is that I don't trust the members of our media to make objective determinations.
00:36:19.000Not only that, I certainly do not trust the members of our media to determine what I can see and what I can hear so that I can determine whether their determinations are in fact correct or not.
00:36:27.000We're going to get to more of this in just a second because it is pretty wild how the media have unmasked themselves.
00:36:32.000Generally speaking, the establishment media have unmasked themselves during this election.
00:36:42.000Imagine you're a parent pacing around after your injured child in a hospital room.
00:36:47.000A doctor begins asking you question after question about how your kid got hurt, and you begin to realize they're asking about your involvement in the accident.
00:36:54.000And then you slowly start to see that they think you actually hurt your own child.
00:36:57.000Wondery and NBC News present Do No Harm.
00:36:59.000It's a terrifying true story of a family torn apart by the system that was supposed to protect them.
00:37:03.000Investigative reporter Mike Hicksenbaugh chronicles what happens to the Bright family when their three kids are ripped away from them and the shocking moments that came next.

00:37:23.000I mean, honestly, this is something that seriously a lot of parents worry about.
00:37:27.000I worry about the fact that there are authorities Who are out there, you know, on the state and local level, who are willing to separate you from your kids if they believe, without evidence, that you've done something bad to your kids.

00:37:49.000Okay, so as we were talking about, the establishment media cannot be trusted.
00:37:54.000I'm gonna show you more proof that the establishment media cannot be trusted.
00:37:57.000You simply should not listen to the narratives that they are spewing at you without checking it.
00:38:02.000That is why we here at Daily Wire are focused in on becoming the replacement media.
00:38:05.000We wish to help you replace the bad information and bad narratives that you're getting from so many pseudo-objective journalists and replace that with something true.
00:38:13.000This is why you should head on over to Daily Wire right now and get 25% off with code election and join the team.
00:38:18.000You can keep up with us on all of the unfolding twists and turns of the election, which is not technically over yet.
00:38:24.000Not only that, we have big plans for the next four years, regardless of who the president turns out to be.
00:38:28.000Because again, our goal is to replace the media outlets that you used to trust and that are no longer trustworthy.
00:38:34.000That is why we are launching into the cultural space.
00:38:36.000I am happy to announce that Candace Owens, New York Times bestselling author, founder of the Blexit Foundation, We're going to be launching a brand new show with us early next year in Nashville, as well as writing content for us over at dailywire.com.
00:38:48.000We're also launching an entertainment channel so that you're not giving your money to the cuties folks over at Netflix.

00:39:08.000The entire show library of PragerU, by the way, is available to dailywire.com members by the end of the year.
00:39:12.000And again, that's aside from all of the wonderful benefits you already get.
00:39:14.000You get the leftist tiers tumblers, you get the all access live in which I answer your questions, flex my rather puny muscles, and sing to you.
00:39:24.000Again, that is 25% off your Daily Wire membership with code election when you sign up today.
00:39:28.000Because if there's one thing 2020 has taught us, it's that anything can happen.
00:39:31.000You're listening to the largest, fastest growing conservative podcast and radio show in the nation.
00:39:34.000So when I say that you cannot trust the establishment media, I really, really, really mean it.
00:39:45.000So over the past few weeks, we had the specter of a CNN contributor who had denied on air that he was the anonymous author from inside the Trump administration writing crap about Trump.
00:39:54.000Acknowledged that he was in fact that person, but he lied to Anderson Cooper on air about it.
00:40:00.000And then, today, we find out that Jon Meacham, the presidential historian, wrote the speech that Joe Biden gave on Saturday night.
00:40:08.000He's been writing speeches for Joe Biden apparently all along.
00:40:10.000And then he's been going on MSNBC and commenting on the speeches that he wrote.
00:40:15.000Sources told the New York Times, according to Fox News, that Meacham had been, quote, playing a larger role than was previously known behind the scenes, both writing drafts of speeches and offering edits on many of Mr. Biden's big addresses, including the one he gave at Gettysburg last month and his acceptance speech at the DNC.
00:40:30.000Ducklow told the Times, quote, President-elect Joe Biden wrote the speech he delivered to the American people on Saturday night, but given the significance of the speech, he consulted a number of important and diverse voices as part of his writing process, as he often does.
00:40:42.000Meacham, who publicly endorsed Biden back in March, has long been a go-to analyst for MSNBC.
00:40:46.000The Times reported that according to a network source, Meacham would no longer be a paid contributor going forward, but don't worry, he'll still be welcome as a guest.
00:40:53.000Meacham did appear on MSNBC following Biden's speech on Saturday.
00:40:58.000He was asked by Brian Williams, another news anchor who makes up stories about avoiding gunfire in helicopters over Iraq.
00:41:07.000Okay, I'm sorry, the specter of Brian Williams, who's a falsifier of his own stories, asking questions to John Meacham, who wrote a speech for Biden about that same Biden speech, neither disclosing that Meacham was actually the author of the speech.
00:41:54.000So Jake Tapper tweeted out yesterday, quote, I truly sympathize with those dealing with losing.
00:41:58.000It's not easy, but at a certain point, one has to think not only about what's best for the nation, peaceful transfer of power, but how any future employers might see your character defined during adversity. OK, that sounds an awful lot like that sounds an awful lot like if you don't act the way that I want you to right now, people might not hire you in the future.
00:42:22.000And he said, I mean, I don't expect the Ride or Die crew to listen to me, but... So it says here on your resume that you drove a sex offender to testify at Four Seasons Total Landscaping north of the Ticoni-Palmyra Bridge.
00:42:33.000Okay, so that is a reference to Rudy Giuliani doing a much-ballyhooed press conference yesterday about voter fraud.
00:42:40.000But the basic idea that you might want to think about what your future employers are going to think about you and all this, that sort of subtle implication there, which is that if you act the wrong way here, guys, if you act the wrong way here, people might not hire you in the future.
00:43:34.000Back during the election cycle, Tom Cotton wrote a column, the senator from Arkansas, about how the Insurrection Act might in fact be justified to stop rioting and looting in America's major cities if local authorities wouldn't do it.
00:43:44.000And James Bennett, the op-ed editor of the New York Times, ended up losing his job for printing that after a bunch of staffers said they were unsafe.
00:43:51.000Because a sitting United States senator wrote a column that 55% of Americans by polling data agreed with.
00:43:57.000Okay, so here's New York Magazine's description of what happened.
00:44:01.000The conversation turned into what more than one Times employee described to me as a food fight.
00:44:05.000During the melee, opinion columnist Elizabeth Bruning uploaded a PDF of John Rawls' treatise on public reason in an attempt to elevate the discussion.
00:44:12.000What we're having is really a philosophical conversation and it concerns the unfinished business of liberalism, Bruning wrote.
00:44:17.000I think all human beings are born philosophers, that is, that we have an innate desire to understand what our world means, what we owe to one another, and how to live good lives.
00:44:25.000Philosophy schmilosophy, wrote a researcher at the Times whose slack avatar was the logo for the hamburger chain Jack in the Box.
00:44:31.000We're at a barricades moment in our history.
00:44:37.000So, I mean, this is the way that it works over there.
00:44:40.000This is the way that it works over at the New York Times.
00:44:42.000According to the New York Magazine, in the weeks that followed, one opinion staffer told me it felt like no one at the Times got any work done at all.
00:44:48.000There were focus groups, 38 of them and counting, and working groups and innumerable conversations about what the paper should be and look like and who it was for.
00:44:54.000The Mass Ted started holding black people meetings, as one black employee put it to me, in which members of the Mass Ted talked one-on-one with employees of color to sort out why they felt the Times was an unwelcoming place.
00:45:04.000In hashtag newsroom feedback, there were many days in which several people were typing.
00:45:08.000The gears of institutional change were slowly churning.
00:45:12.000Okay, this is the This is the best part of the article.
00:45:15.000They're talking about how the outraged New York Times staff had basically taken over the op-ed page.
00:45:19.000The section sometimes ran into the same problems.
00:45:21.000Last month, Opinion published a column by a Chinese government official arguing for the country's military crackdown in Hong Kong.
00:45:27.000It was a virtual repeat of the cotton situation.
00:45:29.000The hashtag newsroom feedback channel lit up briefly, but the conversation was muted.
00:45:32.000The China op-ed didn't hit home because everyone is exhausted, one Times reporter said.
00:46:01.000Go give a donation to the Daily Caller News Foundation.
00:46:03.000Like, seriously, go get alternative sources of media because these people are simply not trustworthy.
00:46:08.000You know, the other predictable effect of all of this is, of course, that shy Trump effect that the media were completely unable to detect.
00:46:15.000They don't understand why there are so many Americans who simply didn't tell them the truth in polls.
00:46:19.000I mean, where did these tens of millions of Americans who supported Trump come from?
00:46:22.000I mean, it was unthinkable that even a single one of their friends could have supported Donald Trump, let alone millions and millions of Americans.
00:46:28.000So there were two possible ways out of this ideological conundrum.
00:46:32.000Way number one was you could do like Michelle Obama and simply declare that tens of millions of Americans were racist, sexist, bigoted homophobes who are ridden with hatred and simply wanted to keep the status quo.
00:46:42.000Way number two would be to actually be a little introspective in the media and say to yourself, OK, we missed it in 2016 and then we missed it again in 2020.
00:46:57.000Considering that Donald Trump won 48 percent of the vote and over 70 million votes, making him the second leading vote getter in presidential election history.
00:47:04.000Like Donald Trump, part of this is population growth, part of this is huge voter turnout.
00:47:09.000Donald Trump won more absolute votes than Barack Obama did in either of his elections.
00:47:13.000So that means there are tens of millions of Americans who are willing to pull the lever for that guy.
00:47:16.000Is there a single person who voted for Donald Trump and will say so clearly working for the New York Times?
00:47:42.000And then, inside the bubble, they're like, well, you know, we are the arbiters of the truth, and we will tell you that elections are legitimate, and we will call elections.
00:47:48.000I can't imagine why there's systemic distrust of the people who are calling elections.
00:47:52.000I can't imagine why there's systemic distrust of people who declare the narratives.
00:47:56.000I can't imagine why the establishment media are blowing themselves out.
00:48:43.000Now, the predictable result of all of this is, of course, that shy Trump effect.
00:48:47.000So, really, really interesting article by a guy named Eric Kaufman.
00:48:50.000He's a professor of politics at Birkbeck University of London.
00:48:53.000He says, with the final ballots yet to be counted, with the next president still unknown, the polling postmortem is underway.
00:48:59.000So much of the experience of watching returns remarked frustrated MSNBC anchor Chris Hayes was anchored by the polling going into it.
00:49:04.000It was a bad night for polling, an enormous polling miss.
00:49:07.000Why did the pollsters get it so wrong?
00:49:10.000Pollsters typically receive low response rates to calls that leads them to undercount key demographics.
00:49:15.000To get around this, they typically wait for key categories like race, education, or gender.
00:49:18.000If they get too few Latinos or whites without degrees, they adjust their numbers to match the actual electorate.
00:49:23.000But most attitudes vary far more within a group, like university graduates, than between graduates and non-graduates.
00:49:28.000So, even if you have the correct share of graduates and non-graduates, you might be selecting the more liberal-minded among them.
00:49:33.000For example, in the 2019 American National Election Study pilot survey, education level predicts less than 1% of the variation in whether a white person voted for Trump in 2016.
00:49:42.000By contrast, Their feelings toward illegal immigration on a 0 to 100 thermometer predicts over 30% of the variation.
00:49:48.000In other words, when you see pollsters say, well, you know, we properly sampled high school educated white voters, it really matters whether those high school educated white voters are baristas in Seattle or whether they are farmers out in eastern Washington.
00:50:03.000It turns out that education level might not be the greatest predictor.
00:50:06.000It turns out that there might be complicating factors.
00:50:08.000Maybe you're oversampling non-college graduates who are the baristas with the earring and two nose rings working at Starbucks, rather than the guy who is working a manufacturing shift over at the local factory.
00:50:21.000Unless pollsters wait for attitudes and psychology, which is tricky because positions can be caused by candidate support, they miss much of the actions, according to Eric Kaufman, again, professor of politics at University of London.
00:50:31.000He says, looking at this election's errors, I wonder if political correctness lies at the heart of the problem.
00:50:35.000Political correctness refers to the policing of speech so that it conforms to cultural taboos, especially the ones concerning race, gender, and sexuality.
00:50:42.000Those who wield the taboos gain rhetorical power, encouraging them to stretch the meaning of concepts such as racism to encompass non-racist actions such as voting for Donald Trump.
00:50:50.000In other words, if you keep calling people racist, and you keep extending those taboos, people are going to treat the taboos as taboos, and then they will not tell you what they are doing.
00:50:58.000Across all racial groups, 80% of Americans say political correctness is a problem in our country.
00:51:03.000Only the small progressive activist 8% of the U.S.
00:51:06.000In practice, the burden of political correctness arguably falls most heavily on university-educated Republican supporters.
00:51:12.000Data from a recent Cato Institute survey shows 88% of Trump-voting graduates compared to just 44% of Clinton-supporting graduates agreed that the political climate these days prevents me from saying things I believe because others might find them offensive.
00:51:26.000So he says 45% of Republicans with degrees compared to 23% of Democrats with degrees said they feared their careers would be at risk if their views became known.
00:51:33.000Okay, well that is going to have an impact on that shy Trump effect.
00:51:41.000Particularly college educated white women.
00:51:43.000They don't want to tell pollsters what they are thinking because they are afraid of the social ostracization as well as people like Jake Tapper saying, well, watch what you're saying in this moment because people might not hire you.
00:51:55.000According to Frank Luntz, he told Emily Malus, Trump voters were over twice as likely as Biden voters by a margin of 19 to 9 to conceal their intended vote from others.
00:52:02.000I would expect this ratio to be considerably higher among university graduates, which would accordingly skew predictions the most among graduates.
00:52:10.000In other words, just because you're online doesn't mean that you are going to answer honestly these questions, even though they are somewhat anonymous.
00:52:15.000surveys are anonymous, they reason a shy Trump effect should reveal itself and they find none.
00:52:19.000But we know that people who internalize social norms conceal their views in online surveys.
00:52:23.000In other words, just because you're online doesn't mean that you are going to answer honestly these questions, even though they are somewhat anonymous. For example, a recent survey of North American academics found that 23% of academics were willing to state they would discriminate against a Trump voter for a job.
00:52:39.000But the actual share, when using concealed techniques called a list experiment, was 42%.
00:52:44.000Which, by the way, I mean, that's an extraordinary number, right?
00:52:47.000That's 42% of academics saying they would discriminate against a Trump voter for a job.
00:52:50.000You think that's not going to have an impact?
00:52:53.000There's also a problem of blowback among elite Republicans.
00:52:56.000Luntz has said that feedback from Trump-supporting respondents revealed considerable resentment toward pollsters who are perceived as part of a media establishment out to misrepresent them.
00:53:03.000Why would they possibly think that, considering that the pollsters keep saying they are racist?
00:53:07.000This may explain why the polls didn't do badly in predicting the white non-graduate vote, but failed miserably among white graduates.
00:53:13.000According to a Pew survey on October 9th, Trump was leading Biden by 21 points with white non-graduates, but trailing him by 26 points among white graduates.
00:53:20.000Likewise, a political ABC poll on October 11th found that Trump leads by 26 points among white voters without four-year college degrees, but Biden holds a 31-point lead with white college graduates.
00:53:30.000But the exit polls showed that Trump ran even among white college graduates, 49-49.
00:53:36.000He even had an edge among white female graduates, 50 to 49.
00:53:39.000So pre-election surveys were off by a whopping 26 to 31 points among white graduates.
00:53:44.000By contrast, among whites without degrees, the actual tilt in the election was 64 to 35, a 29-point gap, and the polls basically got that right.
00:53:55.000And what that suggests is that Republicans who are more educated, meaning they are more likely to come into contact with Democrats who are telling them they are racist, sexist, bigot, homophobes, those are the ones who are being shy about this.
00:54:05.000So what that means for the future is that the more that Democrats and the media rely on this narrative, the more they refuse to actually investigate their own biases and their own hatred for people on the other side of the aisle.
00:54:14.000The more they refuse to hire a single Trump voter to write on the pages of the New York Times op-ed page, the more people are going to internalize the media's hatred for them.
00:54:22.000And then they are not going to tell the truth on how they vote.
00:54:25.000And they're going to vote Republican more and more often.
00:54:27.000This is the good news from the 2020 election, no matter which way it goes.
00:54:31.000And there's a lot of heartache for a lot of Republicans who are looking at the numbers, the raw numbers from Georgia, Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and they're thinking to themselves that there's a high likelihood that Joe Biden is president-elect.
00:54:40.000Or will be president-elect when the process is finished.
00:54:54.000In fact, demographics are not destiny.
00:54:57.000The argument of both the racist alt-right and the mainstream left is that demographics are destiny.
00:55:01.000That a coalition of blacks, Hispanics, Gays, Asians, that that is gonna be the new minority majority, and that is going to swamp the white vote in the United States, and that it's all about the demographics.
00:55:12.000The alt-right thinks the same thing, by the way, which is why they want fewer people who don't look like them in the country, right?
00:55:20.000Then there are the rest of us who think that people ought to be treated as individuals.
00:55:23.000And you know what the evidence bears out?
00:55:25.000That when you treat people as individuals, they act as individuals.
00:55:28.000The New York Times has an entire piece today about how Democrats missed Trump's appeal to Latino voters.
00:55:33.000According to Jennifer Medina, she says, after four years of draconian Trump immigration policies and divisive messaging, the Biden campaign courted Latino voters primarily by reminding them that Joe Biden was not Donald Trump, that if they felt targeted in Trump's America, a vote for Biden would change that.
00:55:48.000That argument resonated for many Latinos who became the second largest voting group for the first time this year.
00:55:52.000But for others, it was Trump who made them feel part of America, not targeted by it.
00:55:56.000Teresa Melio, an accountant in her 60s who immigrated from Cuba and attends an evangelical church in Miami, said, I've been in the country since I was nine.
00:56:09.000Democrats lost in Florida, in part because of lackluster support among Latino voters.
00:56:13.000They did basically no better than they do normally in Texas, in part because Hispanic voters in the Rio Grande Valley moved decisively toward the GOP.
00:56:20.000In Arizona, Democrats will claim both of the state Senate seats for the first time in decades, fueled by young progressive Latino voters.
00:56:26.000For years, many Democrats have presumed demography as destiny, believing that Latinos would come to vote for them with the same kind of consistency Black voters do.
00:56:33.000A growing Latino population they hoped would transform the political landscape and give the party an edge in the Southwest.
00:56:38.000That dream ran into reality in this election, in which the results confirmed what was evident from conversations with hundreds of Latino voters in dozens of settings from the early days of the Democratic Party until the long ballot-counting hours in Arizona over the last week.
00:56:50.000The Latino vote is deeply divided, and running as not-Trump was always going to be insufficient.
00:56:56.000Okay, this is the reality, and it's very good news for Republicans.
00:56:58.000So here's the good news for Republicans.
00:56:59.000There are a lot of voters who voted for Trump, and they lied to pollsters about it because they understand political correctness and its diktats.
00:57:05.000There are a lot of Latino voters who are moving toward Trump because they are not going to be treated as a monolithic voting bloc.
00:57:10.000In fact, there are a lot of Black voters who moved toward Trump by exit polling, and outside shares of Black males voted for Donald Trump.
00:57:17.000Because he is as blunt and direct with everyone as he is with everybody else.
00:57:25.000Also, we have been told that there is no age shift happening.
00:57:37.000We've been told that all of the people who are 18 to 29 and went for Obama in 2008, that they are not shifting, that they are going to remain blue voters forever, and that we're going to get this permanent shift toward the blue as those people continue to age.
00:57:50.000Only one problem, as Sean Trendy at RealClearPolitics points out, In 2008, 18-29 year olds went 66-32 for Obama.
00:57:54.000Today, that cohort is 30-41 years old.
00:57:57.000Today, that cohort is 30 to 41 years old.
00:57:59.000That cohort went for Biden by seven, by seven.
00:58:04.000So either 42 to 45 year olds are really Trumpy or there's doings at transpiring.
00:58:08.000In other words, people shift as they age, as they have families, as they realize that the progressive oddities and stupidities of their youth no longer make sense.
00:58:15.000So if you're looking to a future for the Republican Party, that future for the Republican Party is quite bright.
00:58:20.000And it is worth noting that because, while I know a lot of people are pessimistic right now, The fight is only beginning, as I said yesterday.
00:58:37.000Those women voted for George W. Bush twice and Mitt Romney in 2012.
00:58:40.000A lot of those suburban women will come back.
00:58:44.000The fact is, what we are watching in real time is the Democratic Party alienate so many voters that they've alienated themselves into a minority in the country.
00:58:53.000It's going to manifest itself in the House over the next couple of years.
00:58:55.000It's going to manifest itself in the Senate.
00:58:57.000And I think it's going to manifest itself in presidential races.
00:58:59.000If the Democratic Party decides to double down on the poisonous 2012 campaign of Barack Obama, which suggested that instead of campaigning to Americans as individuals, you have to campaign to Americans as groups, I think it's really going to go badly for Democrats in the coming years as Americans decide, you know what?
00:59:16.000I like being treated as an individual and not as a member of a group.
00:59:19.000And I don't like being called a racist.
00:59:20.000And I'm going to vote however I damn well please.
00:59:22.000And I also don't trust the media that tell me I'm a racist if I don't vote like all of our media betters say that I should vote.
00:59:30.000Pfizer announced yesterday that there's a COVID-19 vaccine that is strongly effective in early data.
00:59:36.000According to Stat News, Pfizer and partner BioNTech said Monday their vaccine against COVID-19 was strongly effective, exceeding expectations with results that are likely to be met with cautious excitement and relief in the face of the global pandemic.
00:59:46.000The stock market rocketed through the roof yesterday on the news.
00:59:50.000The vaccine is the first tested in the United States to generate large-stage data.
00:59:54.000The company said an early analysis of the results showed that individuals who received two injections of the vaccine three weeks apart experienced more than 90% fewer cases of symptomatic COVID-19 than those who received a placebo for months.
01:00:06.000Researchers have cautioned that a vaccine might only be 60 to 70% effective.
01:00:08.000This is way, way, way more effective than previously supposed.
01:00:14.000William Gruver, Pfizer Senior President of Vaccine Clinical Research and Development, told Stat, quote, He came out yesterday and he said, this is truly an amazing thing.
01:00:21.000He said, this is a great day for humanity.
01:00:22.000So this really bodes well for us being able to get a handle on the epidemic and get us out of this situation.
01:00:27.000The Pfizer CEO, he came out yesterday and he said this is truly an amazing thing.
01:00:32.000He said this is a great day for humanity.
01:00:43.000When you realize that your vaccine has a 90% effectiveness, that's overwhelming.
01:00:51.000You understand that the hopes of billions of people and millions and businesses and hundreds of governments that were felled on our shoulders Okay, that is Dr. Albert Bourla, who is the CEO of Pfizer.
01:01:18.000The only evidence that that is the case is that apparently Pfizer and BioNTech had decided in late October that they were going to drop a 32-case interim analysis. At that time, the companies decided to stop having their lab confirm cases of COVID-19 in the study, instead leaving samples in storage.
01:01:31.000The FDA was aware of the decision. Discussions between the agency and companies concluded.
01:01:35.000Testing began this past Wednesday. When the samples were tested, there were 94 cases of COVID in the trial. This means that the statistical strength of the result is far stronger than was initially expected.
01:01:44.000It also means that if Pfizer had held to the original plan, the data would have been available in October, as Albert Bourla had initially predicted.
01:01:50.000Now, that is not enough evidence that this thing was held for political purposes.
01:01:53.000In fact, Pfizer said the reason that we didn't actually take public money when we were developing the vaccine is we didn't want this thing to become political.
01:02:00.000Here's the Pfizer CEO saying, listen, we weren't working with the election as a timeline here.
01:02:04.000For us, the election day was always an artificial date.
01:02:07.000We were not working with the election as a timeline.
01:02:10.000We were working... I released a letter, if you remember, Meg, to our employees some time ago, saying that the only pressure we feel it is the pressure of the billions of people that are hoping on our vaccine.
01:02:23.000And we are going to follow the speed of science.
01:02:58.000Well, as it turns out, Pfizer is indeed part of Operation Warp Speed, which is Trump's initiative to develop a vaccine, because the government has declared that on the back end, if you develop the vaccine, that the government is going to buy billions of dollars worth of doses from Pfizer.
01:03:09.000So they were, in fact, part of the Warp Speed operation.
01:03:13.000They just were not taking money up front.
01:03:15.000On Monday, a spokesperson for Pfizer clarified the company is part of Operation Warp Speed as a supplier of a potential coronavirus vaccine.
01:03:22.000Okay, and then, hilariously enough, the entire media ran with the narrative that they weren't part of Warp Speed, so presumably Trump had nothing to do with the development of the vaccine.
01:03:30.000The reality is, if the government were not pledging to buy billions of dollars worth of doses, then Pfizer wouldn't be sinking hundreds of millions of dollars, presumably, into the development of the vaccine in the first place.
01:03:41.000Now, Democrats are sort of conflicted over how to treat the news of the vaccine.
01:03:45.000On the one hand, you have Chuck Schumer, who's saying we need to combat vaccine hesitancy.
01:03:48.000Here was the Senate Minority Leader yesterday.
01:03:51.000We Democrats will do everything we can to make sure this vaccine or any vaccine is distributed quickly, fairly, equitably.
01:04:02.000And the challenge is now one of scale and one of delivery.
01:04:06.000Congress should fund a national vaccination program.
01:04:09.000And the administration, whether it's the Trump administration or the Biden administration, must do everything to reach minority and underserved communities, combat vaccine hesitancy, and ensure that the vaccines are free to everyone.
01:04:25.000So number one, that's already been done, right?
01:04:27.000The vaccines are going to be provided to the American public.
01:04:29.000Also, when Chuck Schumer says it's time to combat vaccine hesitancy, maybe he should call up the governor of New York.
01:04:33.000Here was the governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo, yesterday, saying that he's very angry that the vaccine was developed while President Trump is president because now he doesn't trust the vaccine, which, because this is Captain Science over here.
01:04:43.000Captain Science makes ship the old people back into nursing homes with COVID.
01:04:47.000What an excellent governor he's been, right?
01:04:48.000He wrote an entire book about what an excellent governor he has been, while killing every old person in New York with COVID, apparently.
01:04:54.000Here he was undercutting the efficacy of a vaccine.
01:04:58.000The good news is the Pfizer tests look good and we'll have a vaccine shortly.
01:05:02.000The bad news is that it's about two months before Joe Biden takes over and that means this administration is going to be implementing a vaccine plan.
01:05:13.000I've been talking to governors across the nation about that.
01:05:17.000How can we shape the Trump administration vaccine plan to fix it or stop it before it does damage?
01:05:33.000By the way, in other good news, the FDA has now granted emergency authorization of a COVID-19 treatment made by the American pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly.
01:05:40.000It was given to Chris Christie when he was infected with COVID.
01:05:43.000That authorization only applies to people newly infected with the virus.
01:05:46.000The treatment is approved for people 12 and older.
01:05:48.000The treatment, which is called Bamlanivamibab, Not kidding.
01:05:53.000Bamlanivimab should be administered as soon as possible after a positive test and within 10 days of developing symptoms.
01:05:59.000Dr. Daniel Skowronski, chief scientific officer of Eli Lilly, says it's a great day for science and medicine, sort of a feat of what is possible.
01:06:07.000So we are reaching better therapeutics.
01:06:10.000A lot of that is due to the Trump administration and its mobilization on all of this.
01:06:14.000So, naturally, the media have declared that Trump is responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths without giving him any credit for any of this.
01:06:22.000The science that dominates the left is truly excellent science.
01:06:25.000You know what's going to cure this, probably?
01:06:27.000Probably, if Joe Biden just has put on a mask, then all of this will be cured.
01:06:30.000And that's what Joe Biden said yesterday.
01:06:31.000Joe Biden, he finally unveiled his COVID plan yesterday.
01:06:47.000We need to have a government task force!
01:06:50.000When I think of efficiency and effectiveness, when I think of how to solve a problem, I think of a task force!
01:06:56.000So he assembled a task force that also includes Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, who once famously wrote a piece for The Atlantic about why everybody should accept death at 75.
01:07:04.000Which, if he actually took that seriously, would mean that he should completely ignore COVID, since it is disproportionately killing people above the age of 75.
01:07:10.000In any case, Joe Biden laid out his plan.
01:08:41.000He came out yesterday and he said that the Biden team is already having calls with foreign leaders.
01:08:45.000Here is a failed novelist who became the progenitor of the Iran deal, which he then admitted to the American public he lied to the American public about.
01:08:58.000So here is Ben Rhodes saying, guess what?
01:09:00.000Members of the incoming Biden administration are talking with foreign leaders already.
01:09:03.000The center of political gravity in this country and the world is shifting to Joe Biden.
01:09:08.000Foreign leaders are already having phone calls with Joe Biden talking about the agenda they're going to pursue January 20th.
01:09:13.000If that reality hasn't sunk in yet for some people in the White House, it will sink in when they have to leave on January 20th.
01:09:19.000Okay, so I'm old enough to remember that time that they tried to prosecute Mike Flynn for a Logan Act violation as the incoming National Security Advisor for having a conversation with the Russians.
01:09:28.000So I guess Logan Act violation's all around now.
01:09:30.000Let's start prosecuting members of the Biden administration.
01:09:32.000I think we need a full-scale investigation.
01:09:34.000I mean, they're not elected yet, and they're having foreign policy conversations already.
01:09:39.000I was fully informed that that was very bad that Mike Flynn did that, even though we had a readout of the conversations.
01:09:42.000Just shows you the utter, utter dishonesty of the media, the utter dishonesty of the Democrats.
01:09:47.000They didn't care two craps about Mike Flynn talking to the Russians.
