The Ben Shapiro Show - WINNING! Kamala CONCEDES, Biden SURRENDERS

00:00:00.000 I turn now to my other friend and colleague, the one, the only man who's not here right now.

00:00:07.000 I think you're back in Florida.

00:00:08.000 Mr.

00:00:08.000 Benjamin Shapiro!

00:00:11.000 Yes, Michael Mulls, I am in.

00:00:13.000 The best state in Murica!

00:00:15.000 We're still doing Murica.

00:00:16.000 We're gonna do Murica for four years.

00:00:18.000 I've not tired of the winning.

00:00:20.000 Donald Trump lied to me.

00:00:21.000 He promised me I would tire of the winning.

00:00:23.000 I have not yet tired of it.

00:00:24.000 In fact, I am enthused by it.

00:00:25.000 I was telling friends this morning, Michael, that, you know, I have this growing...

00:00:30.000 Feeling in the pit of my stomach.

00:00:31.000 It's either indigestion or optimism.

00:00:32.000 I've never experienced optimism before.

00:00:34.000 And so this is an unfamiliar sensation for me.

00:00:38.000 To be safe, let's just assume it's from all the popcorn and the jelly beans backstage.

00:00:42.000 It has to be the indigestion, right? 1.00

00:00:44.000 Before I let you go, Ben.

00:00:44.000 It might have been that.

00:00:45.000 It definitely could be that.

00:00:46.000 Do you have any predictions for this Rose Garden press conference from Biden?

00:00:53.000 I mean, it's going to be amazing when he declares himself the first female president, just as like the last dig at Kamala.

00:00:59.000 It's like, you know what, on my way out, you took me out.

00:01:01.000 So I think that it's going to be the most passive-aggressive press conference pretty much ever, right?

00:01:06.000 I mean, he's going to come out, he's going to make some sort of statement about how we believe in the peaceful transition up out, like the same kind of...

00:01:12.000 Nonsense that she was spouting the other day when she conceded yesterday.

00:01:16.000 But I do think that there are going to be some backhanded slaps at Kamala Harris in her campaign because he is pissed about it and they are dumping all of this in his lap again. 0.99

00:01:27.000 They foisted him out of his nomination and now they're trying to blame him for her losing and he's ticked off his hell about it.

00:01:34.000 That's what I'm here for.

00:01:35.000 I mean, I've already vowed publicly that any book that is written by a Kamala Harris campaign insider, I will read.

00:01:40.000 I will devour those. 0.77

00:01:41.000 That's my junk food, right?

00:01:42.000 Those are my soap operas.

00:01:44.000 My wife with British romantic TV. That's my jam.

00:01:49.000 I mean, I will just read that all day long.

00:01:52.000 So I'm very eager for this press conference.

00:01:55.000 It's supposed to happen any moment, which means it'll probably happen about two hours from now since Joe Biden has never shown up on time for a press conference at any point.

00:02:01.000 But Michael...

00:02:02.000 We're going to let you go, and we're going to go ahead and start a good show now.

00:02:07.000 So it's been good to see you here.

00:02:08.000 Wait a second.

00:02:09.000 All right.

00:02:10.000 Good to see you, Mr.

00:02:10.000 Good to see you.

00:02:11.000 Shapiro.

00:02:12.000 Good to see all of you out there in internet land.

00:02:15.000 I'm Michael Knowles.

00:02:16.000 This is the Michael Knowles Show.

00:02:16.000 We will see you tomorrow.

00:02:21.000 Yeah, go do that. 0.86

00:02:22.000 All right, folks.

00:02:23.000 Well, America has elected Donald Trump as the 47th president.

00:02:26.000 We're marking at the moment with a 47 of our own.

00:02:28.000 Use code TRUMP to get 47% off a new annual Daily Wire Plus membership.

00:02:34.000 Join us with this exclusive offer.

00:02:36.000 So we are currently awaiting the president of the United States.

00:02:39.000 Remember that guy?

00:02:39.000 I know.

00:02:40.000 Remember him?

00:02:41.000 I know you don't.

00:02:43.000 But you remember, his name is Joseph Robinette Biden.

00:02:46.000 And if you recall, he was the actual nominee for the presidency from the Democratic Party until, unfortunately, he suffered brain death on stage with Donald Trump, at which point they shoveled his now maggot-infested corpse out the back door.

00:02:59.000 But he's still the president, which is super weird.

00:03:01.000 So, yesterday, Kamala Harris, she did a concession speech to Donald Trump.

00:03:05.000 We'll get into that in a little while.

00:03:06.000 And today we are expecting that Joe Biden at some point will wobble out, presumably on a walker with the tennis balls on it, in order to make some sort of statement about Donald Trump having defeated everyone around him, but not him.

00:03:19.000 And it's going to be fun.

00:03:20.000 I mean, I'll admit I'm up for it because the recriminations have begun between Team Biden and Team Harris.

00:03:25.000 And it is delicious. 0.92

00:03:26.000 I have publicly vowed that I will read any book, any piece, anything about the absolute crap show that was the Kamala Harris campaign. 0.93

00:03:34.000 I am here for it. 0.57

00:03:35.000 I want to hear about how Joe Biden wrecked all of this by not stepping out early. 0.98

00:03:38.000 I want to hear from Joe Biden's team about how Kamala Harris is an absolute trash heap of horror at politics and how her campaign was run like just absolute clown car nonsense. 1.00

00:03:51.000 I want to hear how much they hated each other. 0.96

00:03:52.000 I want to hear how Jill couldn't stand Kamala, but was kind of fond of Doug.

00:03:58.000 I want to hear every bit of gossip.

00:04:00.000 This is my gossip, girl.

00:04:01.000 I'm here for every single moment of it.

00:04:04.000 I've been waiting for it.

00:04:05.000 I'm enjoying all of it.

00:04:06.000 Honestly, the amount of winning that I'm currently experiencing, I don't think I can tire of it.

00:04:11.000 And so that is the first promise that Donald Trump has made that he has not kept in my view, is that he promised I would be so tired of the winning that I would be tired of the winning.

00:04:18.000 I'm not yet tired of the winning.

00:04:19.000 I require more winning.

00:04:21.000 The demand for winning continues to increase even as the supply of winning increases.

00:04:26.000 Supply must be increased of winning in order to meet demand.

00:04:30.000 Speaking of winning, the Republicans are poised to keep control of the House of Representatives after winning the Senate.

00:04:37.000 So there are a couple of bad news pieces, apparently, according to sort of the latest counts in Nevada, the latest count in Wisconsin.

00:04:43.000 It looks as though the Democrats may retain the seats in both Wisconsin.

00:04:47.000 I think Wisconsin has been called at this point against Eric Hovde in favor of Tammy Baldwin.

00:04:51.000 Nevada is still unbelievably tight.

00:04:53.000 That one may go to a recount considering how tight that particular race is between Sam Brown and Jackie Rosen.

00:04:58.000 However, Republicans, even without those two seats, end up with 53 seats in the United States Senate because they take Jim Justice's seat, which takes them to 50.

00:05:06.000 And then they take Bernie Moreno's seat in Ohio, which takes them to 51.

00:05:10.000 Tim Sheehy's seat takes them to 52.

00:05:12.000 And Dave McCormick's seat takes them to 53.

00:05:14.000 So they're at 53 in the Senate right now.

00:05:16.000 Everything else is, you know, it would be great, but it's gravy because Republicans have a solid, durable majority at 53 seats.

00:05:23.000 And they are apparently going to retain the House in all likelihood as well.

00:05:26.000 According to the Wall Street Journal late last night in the House, Democrats' path to take back control narrowed as Republicans outperformed expectations on the strength of Trump's ability to make inroads among working-class Black and Latino voters, especially men, supplementing his support among white working-class voters.

00:05:41.000 Democrats' hopes for a slew of pickups in California did not materialize, greatly tempering their hopes of flipping the House, which Republicans currently control 220 to 212, with three vacancies.

00:05:51.000 Right now, very likely that Republicans, again, retain the House majority.

00:05:54.000 House Speaker Mike Johnson is likely ensconced in that place.

00:05:58.000 Donald Trump likes Mike Johnson.

00:05:59.000 Mike Johnson has a good relationship with Donald Trump.

00:06:01.000 They will work well together.

00:06:02.000 Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell took a victory lap.

00:06:04.000 He called it a hell of a good day and praised the high caliber Republican candidates that he and other Senate leaders recruited to run.

00:06:10.000 He deserves to take a victory lap for that because McConnell did have a much broader impact on picking Republicans in the primaries than he has in years prior.

00:06:19.000 Mike Johnson, the House Speaker, he says everyone's fed up and fired up.

00:06:23.000 They're fed up about the cost of living, the rising crime rates, the wide open border, the weakness on the world stage.

00:06:28.000 So that means that Donald Trump is going to re-enter office with a triumvirate.

00:06:32.000 He'll have the White House, he'll have the House, and he'll have the Senate.

00:06:35.000 Which, by the way, is better than it would have been had he won re-election in 2020, actually.

00:06:38.000 Because in 2020, as you recall, the Democrats actually had control of the United States Senate.

00:06:43.000 So, that would have changed things quite a bit.

00:06:47.000 Meanwhile, we have new information from the CBS 2024 exit polls.

00:06:51.000 The swings among pretty much every population are quite astounding.

00:06:56.000 So Trump actually lost one point among whites.

00:06:59.000 He gained three points among black voters.

00:07:02.000 He gained 27 points.

00:07:04.000 There's a 27-point swing toward Donald Trump among Hispanic voters, according to that CBS 2024 exit poll.

00:07:10.000 Why?

00:07:10.000 The answer is because you know what Hispanic Americans want?

00:07:13.000 The American dream.

00:07:14.000 That would be the reason.

00:07:16.000 Hispanic Americans, you know, they're traditionally minded when it comes to family and when it comes to things like gender.

00:07:21.000 They like their church.

00:07:23.000 They like their community.

00:07:24.000 They like the American dream, the idea that they get to own property and then increase their wealth in this country.

00:07:29.000 They want opportunity.

00:07:31.000 It turns out that the normie American dream is still the thing most people pursue.

00:07:35.000 It's not the democratic version of the American dream, which is you can strip whoever you want with no consequences.

00:07:39.000 Here's a government check.

00:07:41.000 That American dream does not appeal to the vast majority of Americans.

00:07:44.000 The American dream for the vast majority of Americans is the same thing it was for their parents and their grandparents.

00:07:49.000 As I said yesterday on the show, 2024, revenge of the normies. 0.89

00:07:55.000 Donald Trump picked up among every age group except for elderly voters.

00:08:00.000 There was a 13-point swing from 2020 to 2024 among voters aged 18 to 29, largely among young men.

00:08:07.000 He picked up five points among voters aged 30 to 44.

00:08:10.000 Among those aged 45 to 64, you know, the people who actually have lots of kids at this point, he picked up nine points among that group.

00:08:18.000 So between 30 and 64, he picked up five points and nine points respectively in those various age groups.

00:08:26.000 Harris did better among Democrats.

00:08:28.000 Trump did one point better among Republicans.

00:08:32.000 Republicans picked up 10 points with independents.

00:08:35.000 Late-breaking voters broke toward Trump.

00:08:36.000 Despite all the media's best attempts to turn Tony Hinchcliffe and his Puerto Rico joke into a national issue, it turns out most people looked at Kamala at the very end.

00:08:44.000 They're like, you know what?

00:08:44.000 There is nothing here except for a bad agenda, and we do not like it.

00:08:48.000 Republicans picked up five points among men.

00:08:50.000 They picked up seven points among women. 0.99

00:08:52.000 Remember that time that Kamala Harris was supposed to bring the brat, the energy, and the joy to the lady vote? 1.00

00:08:56.000 Yeah, that didn't happen.

00:08:57.000 And it also turns out that abortion, Americans are beginning to take abortion off the ballot as a chief federal issue.

00:09:04.000 Because that's precisely what happens under Dobbs.

00:09:04.000 Why?

00:09:07.000 Dobbs relegates this not to the federal level, but to the state level.

00:09:11.000 That means that if you have differing views about abortion, you vote to the state legislature based on that.

00:09:16.000 You vote for a governor or a senator based on that in the state assembly.

00:09:20.000 You don't vote for your senator or your congressperson or your president based on that because it is no longer a federal level issue, thanks to Dobbs.

00:09:28.000 So it actually takes a really controversial issue off the table for Republican politicians.

00:09:33.000 The only places that Kamala Harris increased her turnout are high income people who are white atheists.

00:09:41.000 Those would be the places.

00:09:43.000 That's it.

00:09:45.000 Well, I mean, that's a shrinking base in the United States of America.

00:09:48.000 It turns out that demographic revolution that the Democrats were talking about back in the 2012 era, turns out it doesn't work quite for you if you decide to treat everybody who's a member of a minority as though they are a San Francisco College of the Arts graduate making $120,000 a year for a job in graphic design.

00:10:05.000 Turns out that ain't most Americans.

00:10:08.000 How well did Donald Trump do in this election? - Mm-hmm.

00:10:12.000 Politico.

00:10:13.000 New Jersey might be a swing state now.

00:10:17.000 Woo! 0.99

00:10:18.000 New Jersey.

00:10:21.000 Kamala Harris won the state by five.

00:10:23.000 She won the state of New Jersey by five points.

00:10:26.000 You want to know why?

00:10:27.000 Blue-collar people live in New Jersey.

00:10:30.000 Turns out there are a lot of New York expats who live in New Jersey.

00:10:33.000 They don't like how New York is looking.

00:10:35.000 Donald Trump outperformed, by the way, in New York as well.

00:10:38.000 In fact, Donald Trump lost New York by fewer points than Kamala Harris lost Florida. 0.72

00:10:44.000 Remember that time when this was supposed to wreck the economy?

00:10:46.000 Remember all the economists, they say that Donald Trump is going to radically increase prices.

00:10:51.000 Donald Trump is going to be horrible for business.

00:10:53.000 That had about as much credibility as the 51 intelligence experts who suggested the Hunter Biden laptop was not real.

00:11:00.000 What happened with the Dow Jones Industrial Average?

00:11:02.000 It surged to its biggest gain in two years.

00:11:05.000 Bond yields and Bitcoin also posted sharp climbs.

00:11:10.000 The markets are going full-on in.

00:11:14.000 Stephen Dayton says, quote, the markets are now trading full-on Trump trade.

00:11:17.000 All three major stock indices advanced to records.

00:11:21.000 Trump predicted this.

00:11:22.000 Again, this is not hard to see, okay?

00:11:23.000 As the co-owner and co-founder of a large business, and we are now a large business here at The Daily Wire, Co-owner and co-founder of that business?

00:11:31.000 Our business will do much better under Donald Trump.

00:11:33.000 Not just because of the politics.

00:11:35.000 It will do better because it is easier to do business in a country where you know the regulatory state is not going to randomly inject itself into the running of your business.

00:11:44.000 Where you know the tax rates aren't going to wildly change and then become confiscatory of all of the production.

00:11:52.000 Donald Trump provides a stable, solid economy where the rules don't change except in the direction of loosening restrictions on business, and taxes ain't going to change unless they get lower.

00:12:01.000 No wonder people are investing.

00:12:02.000 No wonder people are tossing money into the stock market.

00:12:05.000 The Dow Jones Industrial soared about 1,500 points.

00:12:10.000 That is the biggest daily percentage gain since November 2022.

00:12:14.000 The S&P 500 added 2.5%.

00:12:16.000 The tech-heavy Nasdaq rose 3%.

00:12:21.000 These numbers are not a shock if you know anything about business.

00:12:24.000 Of course that's the case, especially because Republicans are now going to be able to make permanent the Trump tax cuts, which were quite good for the economy.

00:12:31.000 People forget, but if Kamala Harris had won, then the snapback to the prior tax rates probably would have happened, and that would have crimped the growth of the American economy. 1.00

00:12:42.000 Instead, those tax cuts are now going to become permanent.

00:12:44.000 That's going to be like the first order of business for the American Congress and for Donald Trump, which is great.

00:12:44.000 They are.

00:12:50.000 And business people are ecstatic about it.

00:12:52.000 Jeff Bezos, the owner of the Washington Post, which is kind of one of his smaller holdings, obviously he's the owner of Amazon.

00:12:58.000 He congratulated Trump on his victory.

00:13:00.000 He said, By the way, all the tech bros, all the ones who are pretending they liked Kamala, they were lying.

00:13:15.000 Lying.

00:13:16.000 To themselves, perhaps.

00:13:18.000 But...

00:13:18.000 All of their businesses do better because Donald Trump is president of the United States.

00:13:22.000 Again, we are still awaiting Joe Biden arriving in the Rose Garden to give some sort of press conference.

00:13:26.000 We'll bring you that as soon as he decides to daughter out.

00:13:29.000 First, have you ever thought about what charities and causes of the brands you give your hard-earned money to support?

00:15:50.000 Again, we are still awaiting the President of the United States.

00:15:52.000 Remember that guy?

00:15:53.000 I know.

00:15:55.000 We're still awaiting him.

00:15:56.000 They're prepping his podium and everything.

00:15:57.000 We'll get to him when he decides to walk out.

00:15:59.000 The good news is that when he actually leaves the White House, the time from when he leaves the White House door to the time he gets to the podium is a solid couple of minutes, so he should have some notice.

00:16:06.000 I mean, it's like 20 feet.

00:16:08.000 The dude doesn't move particularly fast anymore.

00:16:10.000 In any case, we'll get to him in a moment.

00:16:12.000 But Kamala Harris, she emerged yesterday to explain that her heart is full.

00:16:17.000 Her heart is full.

00:16:21.000 So let me say, my heart is full today.

00:16:25.000 My heart is full today.

00:16:27.000 Full of gratitude for the trust you have placed in me.

00:16:33.000 Full of love for our country.

00:16:37.000 And full of resolve.

00:16:40.000 The outcome of this election is not what we wanted.

00:16:44.000 Not what we fought for.

00:16:47.000 Not what we voted for.

00:16:49.000 But hear me when I say, hear me when I say, the light of America's promise will always burn bright.

00:17:05.000 As long as we never give up and as long as we keep fighting.

00:17:15.000 I mean, she never really says what they're fighting for.

00:17:17.000 And that, of course, is the Democratic secret.

00:17:19.000 If you just say fight a lot, and then you say it about Donald Trump, then you think you're going to win.

00:17:24.000 But the things they're fighting for are not exactly popular things, which is why the recriminations have broken out so loudly.

00:17:29.000 The Democrats still trying to struggle for a way forward.

00:17:31.000 She didn't give any help here. 0.99

00:17:32.000 She'd actually spell out what the agenda for Democrats moving forward is in any way, shape, or form because she is a giant bag of nothing. 0.99

00:17:39.000 She's a nothing bag. 0.97

00:17:40.000 And that nothing bag is filled with wonderful nothings like platitudes and truisms and nonsense. 0.97

00:17:46.000 That is all she is.

00:17:48.000 So here she was yesterday talking, for example, about how she's conceding, but she's not conceding the fight that fueled the campaign.

00:17:56.000 While I concede this election, I do not concede the fight that fueled this campaign.

00:18:04.000 The fight, the fight for freedom, for opportunity, for fairness, and the dignity of all people.

00:18:20.000 A fight for the ideals at the heart of our nation.

00:18:26.000 The ideals that reflect America at our best.

00:18:31.000 That is a fight I will never give up.

00:18:36.000 Okay, I don't even know what she's talking about.

00:18:38.000 I mean, I do because I know what her agenda is.

00:18:40.000 But all I'm hearing is the Charlie Brown teacher.

00:18:44.000 Because she's been saying, what does that mean?

00:18:46.000 I will fight for American ideals.

00:18:47.000 Could you spell that out?

00:18:48.000 What are the American ideals that are at our best?

00:18:50.000 Would that be like the boys in the girls' locker rooms?

00:18:52.000 Are we talking here about Rachel Levine as Health and Human Services undersecretary?

00:18:55.000 Like, what exactly are we talking about?

00:18:57.000 Are we talking about, like, cutting the American military while attempting to make nice with pro-Hamas protesters?

00:19:01.000 Which part of the American values are we—she's never going to fill that in because the minute she does, it's a problem.

00:19:07.000 And she finished appropriately enough with some more platitudes.

00:19:10.000 She talked about darkness and stars and darkness and stars, something like that.

00:19:16.000 The adage is, only when it is dark enough can you see the stars.

00:19:25.000 I know many people feel like we are entering a dark time.

00:19:31.000 But for the benefit of us all.

00:19:34.000 I hope that is not the case.

00:19:36.000 But here's the thing.

00:19:38.000 America, if it is, let us fill the sky with the light of a brilliant, brilliant billion of stars.

00:19:50.000 The light.

00:19:52.000 The light of optimism, of faith, of truth, and service.

00:20:03.000 Wow.

00:20:04.000 That's so moving.

00:20:05.000 The light of a bright billion of stars.

00:20:08.000 Nay, trillion of stars.

00:20:10.000 Nay, bajillion of stars.

00:20:12.000 I think I've heard this before.

00:20:13.000 Wasn't this George H. W. Bush's thousand points of light thing?

00:20:16.000 Except that actually had a policy proposal attached.

00:20:18.000 Here she's just talking.

00:20:20.000 She sounds like some of the worst dialogue from Rings of Power.

00:20:24.000 Honest to goodness.

00:20:24.000 That's what it sounds like.

00:20:25.000 She sounds like she was in the writer's room for Rings of Power and just started cribbing off their notes.

00:20:29.000 So I think one of the reasons that you're not seeing kind of the fury that you might normally see when Donald Trump wins an election is because no one was all that invested in Kamala Harris.

00:20:38.000 How could you be?

00:20:39.000 How would you be invested emotionally in Kamala Harris?

00:20:43.000 As a giant nothing burger of a human, as an NPC, what exactly about Kamala Harris was the draw? 0.88

00:20:49.000 The answer is that the draw was that she was not the doddering old man, that she was not the dead guy.

00:20:53.000 That was the only draw.

00:20:55.000 And it turns out that's not much of a draw.

00:20:57.000 So when Donald Trump wins the popular and the electoral college, everybody's like, well, Barack Obama was just as responsible for this loss as Kamala Harris.

00:21:08.000 As we will see, Team Biden is actually blaming Barack Obama, among others, for the loss.

00:21:13.000 He and his wife have written a statement on Twitter about the 2024 election.

00:21:19.000 I won't do the Obama voice for all of it, but I'll do it for the very beginning.

00:21:22.000 So just a warning.

00:21:24.000 Over the last few weeks, through election night, millions of Americans cast their votes, not just for president, but for leaders at every level.

00:21:31.000 Now, the results are in.

00:21:33.000 And we want to congratulate President Trump and Senator Vance on their victory.

00:21:38.000 This is obviously not the outcome we'd hoped for, given our profound disagreements with the Republican ticket on a whole host of issues.

00:21:44.000 But living in a democracy is about recognizing that our point of view won't always win out and being willing to accept the peaceful transfer of power.

00:21:52.000 Now, here is the thing, former President Obama.

00:21:59.000 You...

00:22:00.000 He finishes this statement with this.

00:22:02.000 The good news is these problems are solvable, but only if we listen to each other.

00:22:06.000 Only if we abide by the core constitutional principles and democratic norms that made this country great.

00:22:11.000 It's this sort of fib that makes me insane.

00:22:15.000 Barack Obama did not care one iota for the constitutional structure.

00:22:18.000 This is a man who, when stymied by Congress, said that he had a pen and a phone and he was going to use them.

00:22:23.000 Barack Obama led off the era of things like killing the judicial filibuster.

00:22:27.000 It was Barack Obama who thwarted the comedy of the races in the United States in a unique way.

00:22:35.000 It was Barack Obama who alienated American from American.

00:22:38.000 This is in my lifetime.

00:22:40.000 He made it so much worse.

00:22:41.000 By every available polling statistic, he made it worse.

00:22:44.000 When he says we need to listen to each other, Barack Obama has never listened to anything except the sound of his own voice.

00:22:52.000 So when he says, this is a campaign that termed Donald Trump Hitlerian fascist evil, and now you're saying that you want to get together and have a listen-in conversation?

00:23:04.000 Well, what I really get the feeling is that now that you're out of power, you want Donald Trump to listen to you after spending years ripping on everybody on the other side of the aisle.

00:23:13.000 And that is not how it works.

00:23:15.000 That is not how it works.

00:23:17.000 Well, the weeping, the wailing, the gnashing of teeth has begun.

00:23:20.000 And so if we're here to enjoy just a little schadenfreude, well, then we may as well do that.

00:23:24.000 Sonny Hostin, the women of The View decided they were all going to wear dresses of mourning yesterday.

00:23:30.000 They wore black into work at The View yesterday, which was enjoyable and also slimming.

00:23:35.000 So Sonny Hostin lost it yesterday, talked about how she is at risk.

00:23:40.000 Her daughter is at risk.

00:23:41.000 She and her daughter live in New York.

00:23:43.000 Nothing is going to change for them, except crime rates might get worse, because it's still Democrat-governed.

00:23:48.000 She's a very rich woman. 0.92

00:23:50.000 But here we go with this hysteria.

00:23:53.000 Oh, sorry, we'll get to that.

00:23:54.000 We'll get to Cindy Hostin in a moment.

00:23:55.000 First, Dark Joe is coming out.

00:23:59.000 Dark Brandon, here he comes.

00:24:00.000 He's going to talk.

00:24:05.000 Thank you.

00:24:06.000 Please.

00:24:08.000 Thank you.

00:24:11.000 Good to see this cabinet and staff together here.

00:24:16.000 Thank you.

00:24:19.000 He can't even contain himself.

00:24:21.000 Look at him.

00:24:22.000 He's like, ah, what a great day.

00:24:23.000 Thank you, thank you, thank you.

00:24:24.000 Please.

00:24:28.000 Thank you, thank you, thank you.

00:24:28.000 He doesn't feel emotionally divided about this.

00:24:30.000 Yeah.

00:24:32.000 It's good to see you all.

00:24:33.000 Particularly good to see my granddaughter sitting in the front row here. 0.97

00:24:36.000 Hi, Finn.

00:24:37.000 How are you, honey?

00:24:39.000 For over 200 years, America has carried on the greatest experiment in self-government in the history of the world.

00:24:47.000 And that's not hyperbole, that's a fact.

00:24:50.000 We're the people.

00:24:51.000 The people vote and choose their own leaders and they do it peacefully.

00:24:55.000 And we're in a democracy, the will of the people always prevails.

00:25:02.000 Yesterday, I spoke with President-elect Trump to congratulate him on his victory.

00:25:08.000 And I assured him that I would direct my entire administration to work with his team to ensure a peaceful and orderly transition.

00:25:17.000 That's what the American people deserve.

00:25:21.000 Yesterday, I also spoke with Vice President Harris.

00:25:24.000 She's been a partner and a public servant.

00:25:28.000 She ran an inspiring campaign, and everyone got to see something that I learned early on to respect so much, her character.

00:25:37.000 She has a backbone like a ramrod. 0.95

00:25:39.000 She has great character, true character.

00:25:41.000 She gave her whole heart and effort, and she and her entire team should be proud of the campaign they ran.

00:25:48.000 You know, the struggle for the soul of America since our very founding has always been an ongoing debate and still vital today.

00:26:01.000 I know for some people, It's a time for victory, to state the obvious.

00:26:06.000 For others, it's a time of loss.

00:26:09.000 Campaigns are contests of competing visions.

00:26:13.000 The country chooses one or the other.

00:26:17.000 We accept the choice the country made.

00:26:20.000 I've said many times, you can't love your country only when you win.

00:26:27.000 You can't love your neighbor only when you agree.

00:26:34.000 Something I hope we can do, no matter who you voted for, is see each other not as adversaries, but as fellow Americans.

00:26:42.000 Bring down the temperature.

00:26:45.000 I also hope we can later rest the question about the integrity of the American electoral system.

00:26:50.000 It is honest, it is fair, and it is transparent.

00:26:57.000 And it can be trusted.

00:26:58.000 Win or lose.

00:27:01.000 I also hope we can restore the respect for all our election workers who busted their necks and took risks at the outset.

00:27:09.000 We should thank them.

00:27:11.000 Thank them for staffing voting sites, counting the votes, protecting the very integrity of the election.

00:27:18.000 Many of them are volunteers who do it simply out of love for their country.

00:27:25.000 And as they did, As they did their duty as citizens, I will do my duty as president.

00:27:32.000 I'll fulfill my oath, and I will honor the Constitution.

00:27:36.000 On January 20th, we'll have a peaceful transfer of power here in America.

00:27:43.000 To all our incredible staff, supporters, cabinet members, all the people who've been hanging out with me for the last four years, God love you, as my mother would say.

00:27:52.000 Thank you so much.

00:27:53.000 You put so much into the past four years.

00:27:56.000 I know it's a difficult time.

00:27:58.000 You're hurting.

00:27:59.000 I hear you and I see you.

00:28:01.000 But don't forget.

00:28:02.000 Don't forget all that we accomplished.

00:28:05.000 It's been a historic presidency.

00:28:08.000 Not because I'm president, because what we've done, what you've done.

00:28:12.000 A presidency for all Americans.

00:28:15.000 Much of the work we've done It's already being felt by the American people, but the vast majority of it will not be felt over the next 10 years.

00:28:24.000 We have legislation we passed that's just only now just really kicking in.

00:28:31.000 We're going to see over a trillion dollars worth of infrastructure work done, changing people's lives in rural communities and communities that are in real difficulty, because it takes time to get it done.

00:28:45.000 And so much more.

00:28:47.000 It's going to take time.

00:28:48.000 But it's there.

00:28:50.000 The road ahead is clear, assuming we sustain it.

00:28:54.000 There's so much, so much we can get done.

00:28:57.000 And will get done, based on the way the legislation was passed.

00:29:01.000 And it's truly historic.

00:29:03.000 You know, we're leaving behind the strongest economy in the world.

00:29:10.000 I know people are still hurting.

00:29:12.000 But things are changing rapidly.

00:29:15.000 Together, we've changed America for the better.

00:29:18.000 Now we have 74 days to finish the term, our term.

00:29:23.000 Let's make every day count.

00:29:26.000 That's the responsibility we have to the American people.

00:29:30.000 Look, folks, you all know it in your lives.

00:29:33.000 Setbacks are unavoidable, but giving up is unforgivable.

00:29:39.000 Setbacks are unavoidable, but giving up is unforgivable.

00:29:43.000 We all get knocked down.

00:29:45.000 But the measure of our character, as my dad would say, is how quickly we get back up.

00:29:50.000 Remember, a defeat does not mean we are defeated.

00:29:55.000 We lost this battle.

00:29:58.000 The America of your dreams is calling for you to get back up.

00:30:04.000 That's the story of America for over 240 years and counting.

00:30:10.000 It's a story for all of us, not just some of us.

00:30:14.000 The American experiment endures.

00:30:17.000 We're going to be okay.

00:30:19.000 But we need to stay engaged.

00:30:22.000 We need to keep going.

00:30:24.000 And above all, we need to keep the faith.

00:30:28.000 I'm so proud to have worked with all of you.

00:30:31.000 I really mean it.

00:30:32.000 I sincerely mean it.

00:30:34.000 God bless you all.

00:30:36.000 God bless America.

00:30:38.000 And may God protect our troops.

00:30:40.000 Thank you, thank you, thank you.

00:30:46.000 That is the President of the United States.

00:30:48.000 This is the happiest day of his life since he won election in 2020.

00:30:52.000 He is so happy.

00:30:54.000 You can see it written across his face.

00:30:55.000 He is so delighted she lost.

00:30:57.000 Because if she had won, he would just be a transitional president.

00:31:00.000 Now he gets to claim that it was all her fault.

00:31:03.000 Look at him.

00:31:04.000 He's sitting there.

00:31:05.000 He's loving it.

00:31:07.000 He's pumping his fist, thumbs up, pointing to people.

00:31:10.000 That dude has more mojo today than he had any time during the campaign.

00:31:15.000 That is amazing.

00:31:16.000 That was the president of the United States doddering Joe Biden.

00:31:19.000 Joe Darkbrand out.

00:31:21.000 Like, really solid stuff there from the President of the United States.

00:31:24.000 Maybe he'll run again.

00:31:26.000 Maybe he'll run again.

00:31:26.000 Who knows?

00:31:27.000 Anything is possible.

00:31:29.000 So, again, that is Joe Biden.

00:31:32.000 He's very happy.

00:31:33.000 He's very happy.

00:31:34.000 We'll get to all the recriminations and the reason that he's happy in just one moment.

00:33:52.000 That's LegacyBox.com.

00:33:55.000 So back to the Scheidenfried.

00:33:57.000 So Sonny Hostin over at The View. 0.99

00:33:59.000 All the ladies wearing black, which is both slimming and makes them look like idiots because why are they in mourning? 0.99

00:34:04.000 But here is Sonny Hostin, an extraordinarily rich woman complaining that her life will now be a living hell. 1.00

00:34:08.000 The Handmaid's Tale has begun.

00:34:11.000 I worry not about myself, actually.

00:34:14.000 I don't worry about my station in life.

00:34:16.000 I worry about the working class.

00:34:17.000 I worry about my mother, a retired teacher.

00:34:20.000 I worry about our elderly and their social security and their Medicare.

00:34:24.000 I worry about my children's future, especially my daughter, who now has less rights than I have.

00:34:30.000 And I remember my father telling me many, many years ago that I was the first person in his family to enjoy full civil rights.

00:34:39.000 And now I have less civil rights than I had when he told me that.

00:34:44.000 So again, I'm profoundly disturbed that the 14th Amendment of the Constitution did not prevent someone who participated in an insurrection from becoming president of the United States.

00:34:55.000 I think that going forward, the convicted felon box on employment applications better be taken off.

00:35:02.000 Because if you can be the President of the United States, then you should not be prevented from employment in this country.

00:35:08.000 Because I remember applying for my jobs as a federal prosecutor and there was a box for convicted felons.

00:35:15.000 And so that box better be taken off.

00:35:18.000 And I think our healthcare system is now at risk.

00:35:21.000 I think...

00:35:22.000 No fluoride for anyone.

00:35:23.000 Yeah, economists have made clear that he's going to increase the debt by $7.75 trillion.

00:35:31.000 I'm worried about mass deportation and internment camps.

00:35:35.000 And I'm also worried about Elon Musk warning Americans to prepare for temporary hardship.

00:35:41.000 Oh my goodness.

00:35:42.000 She is just too much.

00:35:45.000 And you have to enjoy it.

00:35:46.000 Those aren't even the best moments.

00:35:47.000 Joy Behar, again, of The View, she shows up and she says, you know what we really need?

00:35:51.000 The only way to fix this is censorship.

00:35:54.000 You knew they were going to do this, folks.

00:35:55.000 You knew it was coming.

00:35:56.000 But here's the deal.

00:35:57.000 You ain't going to get it because you lost.

00:36:00.000 If you'd won, you might have gotten your censorship, but you lost.

00:36:03.000 So you ain't getting it.

00:36:05.000 Here's Joy Behar doing her best. 0.99

00:36:08.000 In Finland, kids in nursery school are learning to discern between fake news and real news.

00:36:16.000 They should be teaching that in this country.

00:36:18.000 Teach children tolerance.

00:36:20.000 Teach them to think critically.

00:36:22.000 Well, it would help if we could regulate social media, because one of the biggest offenders is D.C. and Congress have not been able to do one thing in regard to the rogue corporations in social media.

00:36:34.000 Oh, man, they are so mad.

00:36:36.000 They are so angry.

00:36:37.000 Whoopi's just sitting there, presiding over all of it.

00:36:39.000 The ladies of The View.

00:36:42.000 Meanwhile, Claire McCaskill broke into this ad on MSNBC. She actually started crying over Kamala Harris. 1.00

00:36:47.000 We found the one person in America who cares about Kamala Harris' candidacy.

00:36:50.000 Even Doug was celebratory.

00:36:51.000 Doug's like, man, I don't have to live in Washington, D.C. anymore.

00:36:53.000 That's great.

00:36:54.000 I'm going back to Beverly Hills.

00:36:55.000 I'm going to, you know, go find a nanny somewhere. 1.00

00:36:57.000 Here is Claire McCaskill.

00:37:00.000 For her to be selected as vice president after what I think she would tell you was a very disappointing presidential race, where I think she kind of lost her footing and was listening too much to consultants, frankly.

00:37:15.000 It didn't really exude who she was.

00:37:20.000 And then to be vice president and to Step into the most difficult situation in the world where she had to be completely loyal to Joe Biden and respectful of the fact that he had chosen her, but yet maneuver in a situation.

00:37:38.000 I mean, such political skill.

00:37:40.000 It is just inspiring people who don't understand what she had to do to get to this moment.

00:37:48.000 And so I'm just very proud of her.

00:37:54.000 By the way, what did she have to do to get to this moment?

00:37:56.000 She had to fail up.

00:37:57.000 So she had to work so hard, so hard to be a terrible candidate who got picked as a vice president, become a terrible vice president who only became a nominee because the president died. 0.97

00:38:07.000 So much.

00:38:08.000 James Carville also had this ad.

00:38:10.000 Just enjoy.

00:38:11.000 Just take it in, folks.

00:38:12.000 This thing, it's over.

00:38:14.000 This one is not overflowing.

00:38:15.000 We had to empty it out just before the show.

00:38:16.000 But we actually, we've had a serious plumbing issue at the Daily Wire because every, we have many of these around the office, like many of these leftist tear stumblers.

00:38:24.000 And it turns out that you can't turn off the leftist tears.

00:38:27.000 I mean, they are just copious amounts of tears.

00:38:30.000 It's like Noah's flood around here.

00:38:32.000 Anyway, here we go.

00:38:33.000 James Carville.

00:38:35.000 So, I'm going to just say, I'll have to reevaluate.

00:38:40.000 I'm sure I'll come up with something to make me feel good again.

00:38:45.000 But right now, today, it's hard.

00:38:47.000 I'll be honest with you.

00:38:49.000 The thing is that I look across this country and tens of millions of people fell for this.

00:38:58.000 And it's depressing.

00:39:02.000 I'll snap out of it but I'm in a very, very dark tunnel right now.

00:39:09.000 Aw, well, you know, that's very, very sad for the Harry Potter character.

00:39:14.000 Meanwhile, here is Rachel Maddow.

00:39:16.000 She has come up with her solution, and it's that apparently Americans hate multiracial, multiethnic democracy, which is weird, since Donald Trump won 46% of Hispanics, according to the latest exit polls.

00:39:26.000 46%, that is the highest percentage of Hispanics ever won by a Republican Party candidate for the presidency.

00:39:32.000 Donald Trump won well over 20% of the black male vote.

00:39:36.000 In the swing states, Donald Trump won about 40% of the Jewish vote.

00:39:40.000 Donald Trump won.

00:39:41.000 Heavy shares of the Muslim vote.

00:39:43.000 Like, so clearly the solution, the answer to Rachel Maddow, white lady, is people clearly hate multiracial, multiethnic, working class democracy. 0.99

00:39:53.000 Man, you gotta have your head so far up your ass to believe this, but, you know, Rachel Maddow, more flexible than previously thought. 0.99

00:40:01.000 We now are just another one in the list of countries that has decided to, you know, hey, what the heck? 0.99

00:40:10.000 Let's try the strongman thing.

00:40:12.000 Let's let democracy go.

00:40:13.000 Let's put in an all-powerful guy instead.

00:40:16.000 See how it goes.

00:40:18.000 There are many more countries in the world governed by that kind of a system than there are governed by ours.

00:40:23.000 We are the only 248-year-old multiracial, pluralistic democracy in the world.

00:40:28.000 And shall we keep it?

00:40:31.000 A lot of our fellow Americans say we shouldn't.

00:40:34.000 Now we know.

00:40:35.000 Now we know for sure.

00:40:37.000 You lost an election!

00:40:39.000 They voted against you.

00:40:41.000 She lost 51% of the vote.

00:40:41.000 I love that.

00:40:44.000 I guess democracy is over because you lost an election.

00:40:50.000 So the Autor College was bad.

00:40:51.000 What happens when he wins the popular vote?

00:40:52.000 That's also bad now, right?

00:40:53.000 Who's anti-democracy now, lady?

00:40:56.000 Meanwhile, Jimmy Kimmel, alleged former comedian.

00:40:59.000 This is late night TV. Late night TV last night was a mausoleum.

00:41:03.000 Late night TV, it was like a funeral parlor.

00:41:08.000 And here was Jimmy Kimmel.

00:41:09.000 Remember, he's supposed to make you laugh for a living.

00:41:11.000 That is his job, after all.

00:41:13.000 And here he was last night, basically preaching a sermon over the body of Kamala Harris.

00:41:19.000 Goodness gracious, Jimmy Kimmel.

00:41:22.000 Let's be honest, it was a terrible night last night.

00:41:25.000 It was a terrible night for women, for children, for the hundreds of thousands of hard-working immigrants who make this country go, for healthcare, for our climate, for science, for journalism, for justice, for free speech.

00:41:44.000 It was a terrible night for poor people, for the middle class, for seniors who rely on Social Security, for our allies in Ukraine.

00:41:52.000 For NATO. For the truth.

00:41:57.000 And democracy.

00:41:58.000 And decency.

00:42:00.000 And it was a terrible night for everyone who voted against him.

00:42:03.000 It was a bad night for everyone who voted for him, too.

00:42:03.000 And guess what?

00:42:06.000 You just don't realize it yet.

00:42:07.000 And most of all...

00:42:08.000 Most of all...

00:42:14.000 It was an absolute disaster of a night for Melania.

00:42:20.000 But it was a really good night for Putin and for polio and for lovable billionaires like Elon Musk and the bros up in Silicon Valley and all the wriggling brain worms who sold what was left of their souls to bow down to Donald Trump. 0.94

00:42:33.000 Oh, I bathe in his tears.

00:42:35.000 Heat them.

00:42:36.000 Heat them for me, servants.

00:42:38.000 I bathe in those tears, Jimmy Kimmel.

00:42:40.000 I love that. 1.00

00:42:41.000 It was a terrible night for everyone, for everyone, except for the majority of the population who think you are a schmuck, Jimmy Kimmel. 0.99

00:42:49.000 Destroying late night TV one episode at a time. 0.98

00:42:52.000 So maybe you flipped over to CBS and you decided to see if Stephen Colbert was going to be wrong.

00:42:58.000 Stephen Colbert was not going to be funny.

00:42:59.000 He was going to out-compete Jimmy Kimmel to see who could cry harder.

00:43:02.000 And guess what?

00:43:03.000 It's funny to me.

00:43:04.000 I enjoyed it.

00:43:06.000 Here was Stephen Colbert.

00:43:09.000 Hey there.

00:43:11.000 How are you doing?

00:43:12.000 Hi.

00:43:13.000 If you watch the show regularly, I'm guessing you're not doing great.

00:43:18.000 Yeah, I mean...

00:43:19.000 I don't.

00:43:20.000 You know, today...

00:43:21.000 I'm good.

00:43:23.000 Some people said to me, sorry you have to do a show tonight.

00:43:26.000 Which is nice of them to say, but...

00:43:28.000 Me too.

00:43:29.000 I don't have to do a show.

00:43:31.000 I get to do a show tonight.

00:43:34.000 I'm so grateful to be with all of these talented people.

00:43:37.000 Those people over here.

00:43:38.000 Those people that you'll never see.

00:43:40.000 With the audience and the Ed Sullivan.

00:43:42.000 With you people at home.

00:43:44.000 Because, especially at times like this, what do we most want to be?

00:43:48.000 Not alone.

00:43:50.000 So thanks for being here.

00:43:53.000 We're going to do a comedy show.

00:43:54.000 It's a comedy show.

00:43:55.000 We're going to do some jokes in just a minute.

00:43:57.000 Because that's what we do.

00:43:58.000 And I'll let you in on a little secret.

00:44:00.000 No one gets into this business because everything in their life worked out great.

00:44:05.000 So we're built for rough roads.

00:44:09.000 Built for rough roads, Stephen Colbert.

00:44:12.000 Oh, so good.

00:44:14.000 So good.

00:44:16.000 I'm not tired of the winning it.

00:44:18.000 I'm not.

00:44:19.000 Folks, America elected Donald Trump as the 47th president.

00:44:21.000 We're marking the moment with a 47 of our own.

00:44:57.000 Well, joining us on the line is Tim Poole, the only man who wears a bigger kippah than I do.

00:45:02.000 Oh no, it's just a beating.

00:45:03.000 He's not Jewish. 0.96

00:45:04.000 Anyway, Tim, how's everything going?

00:45:06.000 Obviously, he's the host of Timcast IRL. Watching people like Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel break down live on television, it's been pleasurable.

00:45:16.000 What's been your favorite moment since the victory of Donald Trump?

00:45:19.000 Oh wow, they're already protesting.

00:45:22.000 The corporate press and many of these leftist liberal outlets are calling this America's Judgment Day.

00:45:28.000 We've elected fascism. 0.72

00:45:30.000 And I love what you're mentioning about these late night hosts acting like everyone's suffering.

00:45:35.000 Oh, the poor, the working class. 1.00

00:45:36.000 The poor and the working class voted for Donald Trump.

00:45:39.000 Kamala Harris actually won the wealthy.

00:45:41.000 And the working class voted for Donald Trump.

00:45:43.000 Minorities voted for Donald Trump.

00:45:44.000 The popular mandate is with Donald Trump.

00:45:46.000 And I was shocked to find this morning, and I'm very proud, My Democrat neighborhood in Chicago voted for Donald Trump, and that surprised me.

00:45:54.000 The Chicago Sun-Times showed the map.

00:45:56.000 It's gradually flipped from blue to deep red.

00:46:00.000 I shouldn't say deep red, but just all red.

00:46:02.000 And I don't know if that's my influence, but I do think it shows where my values come from.

00:46:08.000 The people I grew up with were working-class people in a blue city that were tired of Democrat failure, and now they're voting for Donald Trump.

00:46:17.000 I mean, Tim, that is the story of the election.

00:46:19.000 Here are some stats for you that are amazing.

00:46:20.000 New Jersey, Trump lost by 16 in 2020.

00:46:23.000 He lost by 5 in 2024.

00:46:25.000 It's an 11-point pickup for Trump in New Jersey.

00:46:27.000 He lost California by 29 in 2020.

00:46:29.000 He lost by 17 in 2024.

00:46:31.000 That's a 12-point pickup in California.

00:46:33.000 He lost by 23 in 2020 in New York.

00:46:35.000 He lost by 12 in 2024.

00:46:36.000 That is an 11-point pickup in New York.

00:46:39.000 In Illinois, the state you're talking about, Trump lost by 17 in 2020.

00:46:42.000 He lost by eight in 2024, a nine point pickup for Donald Trump.

00:46:46.000 The fact of the matter is, you know, some of this is the magic of Donald Trump.

00:46:49.000 Obviously, he's a unique figure.

00:46:51.000 He's the most important figure of the 21st century in the United States and internationally.

00:46:56.000 He just is.

00:46:56.000 Whether you like it or not, that's the reality of the situation.

00:46:59.000 Also, the Democrats are so terrible at this. 0.94

00:47:02.000 I mean, so truly terrible.

00:47:03.000 So you're watching the recriminations break out.

00:47:05.000 Lots of screaming and yelling. 0.94

00:47:06.000 And we get to stand on the side and watch, you know, the clowns hit each other with cakes and everything.

00:47:10.000 And it's really fun.

00:47:11.000 But do you think the Democratic Party has a path back?

00:47:14.000 What does that path look like?

00:47:16.000 I don't know.

00:47:17.000 Tulsi Gabbard left, right?

00:47:19.000 I supported Tulsi Gabbard in 2019 and 2020.

00:47:22.000 I thought Donald Trump should have brought her on back then.

00:47:24.000 And I'm fairly moderate.

00:47:26.000 RFK Jr.

00:47:26.000 joining Trump.

00:47:27.000 This made an easy path for me to convince all of my anti-Trump or never-Trump or friends and family Don't vote for Donald Trump.

00:47:35.000 Vote for RFK Jr.

00:47:36.000 and vote for Tulsi Gabbard because if you vote for Kamala, you're getting Dick and Liz Cheney. 1.00

00:47:39.000 That made it relatively easy.

00:47:41.000 Now what we're seeing with all these talk shows and all these pundits, they're saying it was white women who betrayed us. 1.00

00:47:47.000 I can't remember who said it.

00:47:49.000 Black women were trying to save. 1.00

00:47:50.000 I think it was Sonny Haasen. 0.93

00:47:51.000 Black women were trying to save the country. 1.00

00:47:53.000 It's showing us that in only a few days afterwards, they're doubling and tripling down on rhetoric and ideas that do not work.

00:48:01.000 And in fact, I got to say this.

00:48:03.000 One of my favorite jokes that I saw on Twitter following the election was, women buy milk and eggs more than they get abortions. 0.99

00:48:10.000 Yet they're still continually doubling down on these failed ideas that people do not like.

00:48:15.000 I hate to say it, I'd love to see a Democratic Party that moderates and realizes where they were wrong.

00:48:20.000 A lot of Democrats are trying.

00:48:22.000 Bernie Sanders is trying.

00:48:24.000 They are insulting and attacking Bernie Sanders because he said Democrats have abandoned the white working class and now the Latino working class and the black working class.

00:48:33.000 And the response from I think it was Jen Rubin was, no, the problem is white men blaming others.

00:48:38.000 They refuse to accept the failure and the direction they've gone has lost in this election.

00:48:44.000 So, hey, you know, I think if this path continues over the next four years, if J.D. Vance and I believe he probably will end up the next nominee, at least for now, I think he's a chance at winning Illinois.

00:48:55.000 I think he's a fantastic VP already.

00:48:57.000 He was a fantastic candidate.

00:48:59.000 And with Illinois within eight points of a Republican victor, I think J.D. Vance would close the gap unless Democrats figure out they've gone insane and try and solve that problem.

00:49:10.000 Tim, it is a massive problem for them.

00:49:12.000 It's also a massive problem because the truth is that if you look at J.D. or if you look at Trump's economic agenda, their economic agenda is not a sort of like gigantically pro-free market agenda.

00:49:24.000 So, for example, both J.D. and Trump have endorsed the entitlement state.

00:49:28.000 They've not really talked about paring back the entitlement state in any serious way.

00:49:32.000 They might talk about some mean-tested welfare programs.

00:49:34.000 That's about it.

00:49:35.000 Both J.D. and Trump have talked about subsidies to particular parts of the country.

00:49:39.000 So they're sort of occupying the middle space on the economic spectrum.

00:49:44.000 It's not just that they occupy the right where they're very pro-entrepreneurship.

00:49:47.000 They're also occupying the middle space where they're not anti-redistributionism to a certain extent.

00:49:52.000 And so that's making it very awkward for Democrats to even sort of move into that space.

00:49:56.000 When you have a party that is including, as you mentioned, people like Elon Musk, on the one hand, uber-capitalist, obviously, uber-free-market guy.

00:50:03.000 And then on the other hand, you have people like you, or Bhatia Unger-Sargon, people who are sort of more interventionist, economically speaking.

00:50:11.000 That's a pretty broad coalition.

00:50:14.000 Yeah, what I find truly fascinating as well, Democrats seem to be addicted to our only political attacks are everything they do is wrong.

00:50:22.000 And my favorite line right now, with Donald Trump saying we're going to have deportations, let's think about what mass deportations is saying.

00:50:29.000 There are people who entered the country illegally, we're going to give them a free ride home. 1.00

00:50:34.000 They say that's fascism.

00:50:35.000 They say that's rounding people up like Hitler in concentration camps.

00:50:39.000 And I'm sitting here being like a free ride back to their home because they came here illegally. 1.00

00:50:42.000 Sounds like the nicest thing we can do in solving this problem.

00:50:46.000 But instead of saying, you know what?

00:50:48.000 Donald Trump has a point.

00:50:49.000 We can't sustain mass unchecked illegal immigration. 0.71

00:50:52.000 And trying to offer an alternative, an actual argument, which they don't have.

00:50:57.000 They just say, Trump's Hitler.

00:50:58.000 Well, at a certain point, people say, yeah, that means nothing to me.

00:51:01.000 Calling me racist means nothing.

00:51:03.000 Calling me misogynist means nothing.

00:51:05.000 We're looking at now, I think this is the third presidential election with Trump, where he said, hey, I have a solution to this problem you're concerned about.

00:51:14.000 And the Democrats have just said, that means you're Hitler.

00:51:16.000 At a certain point, people say, I recognize Trump is right about this problem.

00:51:20.000 You've offered me nothing.

00:51:21.000 He's made me an offer.

00:51:23.000 I guess I have to go with Trump.

00:51:26.000 Well, that's Tim Poole.

00:51:27.000 You can go check him out over on Twitter at TimCast and check out his show, of course, TimCast IRL. Tim, really appreciate the time.

00:51:34.000 And man, it's going to be fun going forward to see what happens next.

00:51:37.000 Thanks for having me.

00:51:40.000 Alrighty, so meanwhile, as we say, the recriminations among the Democrats, they've broken out, and I'm here for all of them.

00:51:45.000 The Harris campaign is now going after anyone who criticizes them.

00:51:48.000 So according to, I believe this is New York Magazine, Vice President Kamala Harris's campaign sharply criticized Philadelphia Democratic Party Chairman Bob Brady after he laid blame with them for a lower-than-expected turnout in the city. 0.96

00:52:00.000 Brendan McPhillips, senior advisor to the Harris campaign in Pennsylvania, said in their statement that the team, quote, knocked more than two million doors in the weekend leading up to Election Day, which is two million more doors than Bob Brady's organization can claim to have knocked on.

00:52:12.000 So they're yelling at each other.

00:52:13.000 Meanwhile, Team Harris is blaming Joe Biden.

00:52:16.000 They're saying that they're angry that Joe Biden refused to leave earlier.

00:52:21.000 One Harris aide said, quote, We ran the best campaign we could, considering Joe Biden was president.

00:52:25.000 Joe Biden is the singular reason Kamala Harris and Democrats lost tonight.

00:52:29.000 Another Harris aide said it was clear Biden should have made a graceful exit much sooner, allowing Democrats to hold a primary they believed Harris would have won.

00:52:36.000 So resounding was the thumping that some of the party's next generation leaders were signaling the need for a deep autopsy of the party's failures to stop the red wave.

00:52:44.000 Meanwhile, David Poof was leading that particular campaign.

00:52:47.000 He then, by the way, actually went off of X. He just left Twitter entirely after this comment.

00:52:53.000 Quote, it was a privilege to spend the last 100 days with Kamala Harris and the amazing staff led by Jen O'Malley Dillon, who left it all on the field for their country.

00:53:00.000 We dug out of a deep hole, but not enough.

00:53:02.000 A devastating loss.

00:53:03.000 Thanks for being in the arena, all of you.

00:53:05.000 So it's that line, we dug out of a deep hole, but not enough.

00:53:07.000 So that is Poof saying, we did our best.

00:53:10.000 To shun the Biden people.

00:53:12.000 And it's their fault we lost.

00:53:13.000 And everybody in Team Biden is like, what the F, dude?

00:53:16.000 We left.

00:53:17.000 We left.

00:53:18.000 And you continued to run this thing into the ground.

00:53:22.000 You know, Alex Thompson of Politico, he points out, or of Axios rather, he points out, The Democrats are blaming Joe Biden as well.

00:53:31.000 Again, you want to know why Joe Biden was happy earlier this day in the Rose Garden?

00:53:34.000 Because he's so happy she lost.

00:53:36.000 He's so happy. 0.99

00:53:37.000 Because it means that all the people who hated him and who dumped him over, they are losers. 0.97

00:53:43.000 And according to Joe Biden, he beat Trump, so he's a winner. 1.00

00:53:45.000 And they're losers. 0.98

00:53:45.000 That's why he's happy. 0.98

00:53:46.000 Here's Alex Thompson having Team Harris blame Team Biden.

00:53:52.000 What you're...

00:53:53.000 Saying, Karen, is part of the reason why a lot of Democrats are very angry at Joe Biden tonight because they feel that the decision to run again when he was 80 years old was very reckless and a very risky decision, a risky gamble that he lost.

00:54:10.000 And then he basically swapped out, and he chose Kamala Harris, not just in 2020, but then he chose her, basically gave her a $100 million head start when he endorsed her and gave her his campaign.

00:54:22.000 And in some ways, while a lot of people want to say, well, Kamala was bad in the interview, and I just mentioned it before, it was a bad interview with The View.

00:54:30.000 She was bad in the interview with 60 Minutes.

00:54:31.000 There are a lot of Democrats that are actually much more angry at Joe Biden tonight.

00:54:35.000 Yeah, I think that's, I mean, just say, yes, then we were, I was expecting that because some felt like if he had dropped out sooner and she would have ascended as the nominee, she would have also had more time.

00:54:48.000 So again, they're just blaming Biden for her losing, but they could have left him in.

00:54:53.000 He could have lost.

00:54:54.000 They could have gone with the next one.

00:54:56.000 Simone Sanders taking the other side of that argument. 0.54

00:54:58.000 So she is a former Kamala Harris staffer.

00:55:00.000 And she's like, well, I mean, they did force Joe Biden out, I noticed.

00:55:05.000 And again, the people that said Joe Biden was the problem.

00:55:09.000 Where's my camera?

00:55:10.000 He was not the solution.

00:55:12.000 Okay, I will just note that it is probably not the best idea that Democrats orchestrated a very public stab fest, a proverbial stabbing in the front of the sitting president of the United States of America and then didn't use him in his hometown of Scranton, Pennsylvania.

00:55:30.000 Hey, she ain't wrong either.

00:55:32.000 So it's fun to watch them go at each other.

00:55:34.000 Now, the real internecine warfare begins.

00:55:37.000 Why exactly did they lose?

00:55:39.000 Well, I mean, the truth is, it's pretty obvious why they lost.

00:55:41.000 And you can tell because of how Donald Trump ran.

00:55:43.000 Donald Trump ran as a policy moderate who wasn't a nut job when it came to things like our boys, girls, or not.

00:55:49.000 A whole article in the New York Times today called How Trump Won, How Harris Lost.

00:55:56.000 And one of the things that they point out is that there was an ad that the Trump campaign tried out, and it turned out to be the most successful ad of the campaign.

00:56:05.000 And it was specifically about the trans issue.

00:56:10.000 According to this piece from the New York Times, about a week after the September debate, Trump started spending heavily on a television ad that hammered Harris for her position on a seemingly obscure topic, the use of taxpayer funds to fund surgeries for transgender inmates.

00:56:23.000 Harris said in that 2019 clip used in the ad, quote, every transgender inmate in the prison system would have access.

00:56:29.000 It was a big bet.

00:56:30.000 Trump was leading on the two most salient issues in the race, the economy and immigration, yet here he was intentionally changing the subject.

00:56:35.000 But the ad, with its vivid tagline, Kamala is for they them, President Trump is for you, broke through in Mr.

00:56:41.000 Trump's testing to an extent that stunned some of his aides.

00:56:44.000 So they poured more money into the ads, running them during football games.

00:56:47.000 That prompted Charlemagne the God, host of the Breakfast Club, to express exasperation.

00:56:52.000 His on-air complaints then gave the Trump team fodder for more commercials.

00:56:55.000 The Charlemagne ad ranked as one of the Trump team's most effective 30-second spots.

00:56:59.000 It shifted the race 2.7 percentage points in Trump's favor after viewers watched it.

00:57:05.000 So again, Trump just ran against the social leftism of a disconnected elite class.

00:57:12.000 All they would have to do is jettison that and maybe they're competitive again, but they don't know which direction to go.

00:57:18.000 So Matt Iglesias has been a guest on the Sunday special before.

00:57:22.000 He's sort of a more old-line liberal, I would say.

00:57:25.000 He put out what he thought was the vision for common-sense Democrats.

00:57:29.000 Let me read you what he says Democrats should do.

00:57:31.000 It's nine points.

00:57:33.000 You'll notice something about them.

00:57:35.000 One, economic self-interest for the working class includes robust economic growth.

00:57:39.000 Two, climate change is a reality to manage, not a hard limit to obey.

00:57:43.000 Three, the government should prioritize the interests of normal people over those of people who engage in antisocial conduct.

00:57:48.000 Four, we should in fact judge people by the content of their character rather than by the color of their skin.

00:57:53.000 Five, while race is a social construct, biological sex is not.

00:57:57.000 Six, academic and non-profit staffers do not occupy a unique position of virtue relative to private sector workers.

00:58:03.000 Seven, politeness is a virtue, but obsessive language policing alienates normal people and degrades the quality of thinking.

00:58:09.000 Eight, we're equal in the eyes of God, but the American government can and should prioritize the interests of American citizens.

00:58:14.000 Nine, public services must be run in the interests of their users, not their providers.

00:58:18.000 Now, if you nod at every one of those, it's because they're all conservative principles.

00:58:22.000 So what Matt Iglesias is saying is, if you wish to not lose like Democrats, you might want to run like Republicans.

00:58:28.000 That happens to be correct.

00:58:30.000 And there are some in the Democratic Party who are saying just that.

00:58:34.000 Charlemagne the God, for one.

00:58:35.000 He says, well, maybe the Democrats are just out of touch.

00:58:37.000 Maybe they need to get back in touch.

00:58:40.000 Once again, don't just chalk it up to racism, sexism. 1.00

00:58:43.000 Okay, I believe those things play a role, but at the end of the day, it's the economy, stupid. 0.99

00:58:47.000 And Democrats might just be really out of touch with what everyday Americans are feeling. 0.99

00:58:53.000 That is correct.

00:58:54.000 Meanwhile, for example, New York Democrat Richie Torres, he is saying that the far left helped make Donald Trump happen.

00:59:02.000 He said on X, quote, Okay,

00:59:28.000 but then from the left, you have Bernie Sanders from the top rope saying that they need to appeal to the pro-Gaza crowd.

00:59:35.000 Quote, it should come as no surprise that the Democratic Party, which has abandoned working-class people, would find that the working class has abandoned them.

00:59:42.000 First, it was the white working class. 0.96

00:59:44.000 Now, it is Latino and black workers as well.

00:59:46.000 But the Democratic leadership defends the status quo.

00:59:49.000 The American people are angry and want change, and they're right.

00:59:53.000 Today, while the rich are doing phenomenally well, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

00:59:57.000 They have more income and wealth inequality than ever before.

01:00:01.000 But then, he can't stop himself.

01:00:03.000 He can't stop himself.

01:00:04.000 And he has to go to the far left again.

01:00:06.000 So if he just stuck to the kind of two Americas, John Edwards, we need more economic redistributionism, I don't think that would work.

01:00:14.000 That's a more plausible argument than the social leftism.

01:00:17.000 But then he can't stop himself.

01:00:18.000 Quote, Today, despite strong opposition from a majority of Americans, we continue to spend billions funding the extremist Netanyahu governments all at war against the Palestinian people.

01:00:28.000 That is his sop to a bunch of young Gaza protesters.

01:00:31.000 If Bernie Sanders had been the actual candidate, he would have gotten skunked by Donald Trump.

01:00:34.000 Skunked by him.

01:00:36.000 Which is precisely why the Democratic Party in 2020 stopped him from being the nominee.

01:00:40.000 Bernie Sanders is a befuddled old socialist.

01:00:43.000 Most old socialists end up on the government dime.

01:00:46.000 Very few of them end up with a lake house and millions of worshipful followers.

01:00:50.000 But it's going to be fun to watch the radical and the normie wings of the Democratic Party bang it out against one another.

01:00:57.000 That'll be really, really fun.

01:01:00.000 The sort of traditional radicals, however, they have their solution, and their solution is obvious.

01:01:03.000 You blame the people.

01:01:05.000 So Media Matters is Angelo Corazon.

01:01:07.000 Media Matters, the worst organization in America, bar none.

01:01:09.000 Terrible organization.

01:01:10.000 Their entire goal is to just take shows like this one off the air because they disagree.

01:01:15.000 Angelo Corazon, he says that the Trump voters don't believe in democracy, which is weird since they represent 51% of the American public at a minimum.

01:01:23.000 But at its core, this is a discussion about democracy.

01:01:26.000 I'm not so blinded to think that they all are deeply pro-democracy.

01:01:30.000 Many of them don't believe in democracy as a principle, and they want something more autocratic and authoritarian.

01:01:36.000 But there's another part, a much larger part, that actually believes that a vote for Donald Trump is a vote for democracy because they have I validated and internalized the idea that there's an anti-democratic secret cabal that is actually preventing their desires and exercise of democratic power from being implemented and put in place, and that only Trump can restore their power.

01:02:00.000 I mean, they're right about that.

01:02:02.000 There is an anti-democratic secret cabal.

01:02:03.000 It's called the administrative state, and it's the unelected legacy media.

01:02:06.000 That would be the machine that he's talking about right there.

01:02:10.000 W. Camo Bell over at CNN, he's saying the same thing, that voters just ran toward racism and misogyny.

01:02:15.000 This is MSNBC, rather.

01:02:16.000 It's going to be fun to watch all of these forces battle one another for supremacy in the failing Democratic Party.

01:02:23.000 Donald Trump has been impeached twice.

01:02:26.000 He was indicted four times, convicted on 34 felony counts.

01:02:31.000 He's been found liable of sexual abuse.

01:02:33.000 His campaign spewed a lot of racism, misogyny, xenophobia, but voters seem to overlook all of that.

01:02:40.000 Respectfully, I don't think voters overlooked it.

01:02:42.000 I think voters ran towards it.

01:02:44.000 I think voters loved it.

01:02:45.000 I think we have found out, after much want for the contrary, we live in a right-wing country.

01:02:51.000 This is what it is.

01:02:54.000 Hey, well, guys, I hope you have fun storming the castle with your motley crew of radical racialists and radical socialists. 0.86

01:03:01.000 Really enjoy yourself.

01:03:03.000 All right, folks, in just a moment, we're going to be talking about the cases against Donald Trump being dropped and left losing their minds over that.
