00:00:03.000 My name is Charlie Kirk.
00:00:05.000 I run the largest pro American student organization in the country fighting for the future of our republic.
00:00:11.000 My call is to fight evil and to proclaim truth.
00:00:14.000 If the most important thing for you is just feeling good, you're going to end up miserable.
00:00:19.000 But if the most important thing is doing good, you will end up purposeful.
00:00:24.000 College is a scam, everybody.
00:00:26.000 You got to stop sending your kids to college.
00:00:27.000 You should get married as young as possible and have as many kids as possible.
00:00:31.000 Go start a Turning Point USA College chapter.
00:00:33.000 Go start a Turning Point USA High School chapter.
00:00:35.000 Go find out how your church can get involved.
00:00:37.000 Sign up and become an activist.
00:00:39.000 I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade.
00:00:41.000 Most important decision I ever made in my life.
00:00:43.000 And I encourage you to do the same.
00:00:45.000 Here I am.
00:00:46.000 Lord, use me.
00:00:48.000 Buckle up, everybody.
00:00:49.000 Here we go.

00:01:17.000 All right.
00:01:17.000 Welcome, everybody.
00:01:19.000 It is November 5th, 2026.
00:01:21.000 We're here in Phoenix, Arizona, live from the Y Refi studios.
00:01:24.000 How are we doing, Blake?
00:01:25.000 You know, I was going to say great, but one, things are not great.
00:01:28.000 And also, I'm specifically annoyed that I haven't seen an announcement yet.
00:01:33.000 I am specifically annoyed that I haven't heard of all the Republican senators racing back to DC to confirm.
00:01:39.000 Yeah.
00:01:40.000 All of President Trump's appointees, including the ones he should emergency make now.
00:01:44.000 Apparently, breaking news from Fox, Harmite Dillon, one of our favorites over at the Office of Civil Rights, she is departing.
00:01:50.000 You should have a replacement for that role next week. 0.99
00:01:53.000 Yeah, next week, because very likely Democrats will do a total blockade of every Trump administration nominee.
00:02:00.000 I think they'll think that's good politics.
00:02:01.000 We've got a matter of weeks to jam through as much as humanly possible.
00:02:05.000 By the way, the same challenge is now on in Texas.
00:02:08.000 There is a huge movement in Texas to limit.
00:02:12.000 The emergency powers of the incoming Democrat governor there.
00:02:16.000 I don't even know her name. 0.84
00:02:17.000 Hinosa? 0.92
00:02:18.000 Hinosa?
00:02:19.000 Hinosa.
00:02:20.000 Yeah.
00:02:21.000 And by the way, I am monitoring.
00:02:23.000 I want everybody to be aware we are monitoring some of the allegations coming out of Texas.
00:02:28.000 It's a little tricky because somehow Democrats got more votes.
00:02:33.000 Talrico got more votes than Joe Biden did in 2020.
00:02:37.000 But at the same time, it's a wave year where you're getting D plus 20, D plus 50.
00:02:42.000 Across the country.
00:02:43.000 So we're looking at it.
00:02:44.000 I know that this audience is going to be very curious about that.
00:02:47.000 But it's very interesting.
00:02:48.000 The point is, you've got weeks to stem the bleeding, to staunch the bleeding, and basically try and jam through as many appointments as you can.
00:02:58.000 But that's not the only intrigue that is happening right now.
00:03:02.000 Another story that is also ongoing is the stock market just got wiped out this morning.
00:03:09.000 And lo and behold, Democrats running anti data center campaigns.
00:03:15.000 When the entirety of the tech market, especially in all those capital markets, are based on AI, well, now they realize that the chickens are coming home to realize.
00:03:24.000 I just love that.
00:03:25.000 It's like all of Silicon Valley, which they donate left, they vote left, they are insanely left wing.
00:03:30.000 Like, don't let Elon Musk trick you.
00:03:32.000 It's a handful of billionaires on our side and the vast over 90% majority the other way.
00:03:37.000 And they're like belatedly realizing, oh, wait, our faction wants to basically ban AI.
00:03:42.000 And they just elected a bunch of people who, yeah, they're against data centers.
00:03:46.000 That appears to be.
00:03:47.000 Widely popular in politics, but they're kind of anti building anything in general, anti large companies.
00:03:54.000 There is an interesting fact, though.
00:03:57.000 There was some data analyst at the New York Times who actually Charlie used to like to quote a lot.
00:04:03.000 Mr. Shore over at the New York Times.
00:04:05.000 He's been going through the data, and 40 out of 41% of the data center proposals that were on the budget across the country failed.
00:04:14.000 I think there was one in Dakota.
00:04:15.000 They all passed.
00:04:16.000 They all passed.
00:04:17.000 The restrictions on them passed.
00:04:19.000 The restrictions passed.
00:04:20.000 And then the only one that failed was Harwood, North Dakota.
00:04:22.000 Yeah, so North Dakota wants to go to Dakota.
00:04:23.000 Everyone's going to North Dakota.
00:04:24.000 But what's interesting is that.
00:04:28.000 What the polling shows is when you spread the benefits of a data center widely across the community, whether that's reductions in property taxes or energy bills, things like that, then the polling actually swings from negative, way negative, like negative 40, all the way to plus 15.
00:04:46.000 So there is a path forward, I think, for data centers.
00:04:49.000 I think the polling also shows that people want them built in urban centers, not in rural America.
00:04:55.000 The problem is data centers tend to go towards rural America, beautiful open spaces, because the land's cheaper.
00:05:01.000 Right.
00:05:01.000 So there is an issue there with data centers.
00:05:04.000 Here's also what we're watching there was a big new article from Maggie Haberman, Jonathan Swan, and I think Shane Goldmacher as well from the New York Times.
00:05:14.000 Now, this, remember, are some reporters that are very well sourced.
00:05:20.000 Jonathan Swan and Charlie Kirk were friends.
00:05:23.000 I know that for a fact.
00:05:26.000 I was around them when they were together.
00:05:28.000 Jonathan Swan is very trusted by a lot of people in D.C., very well sourced.
00:05:32.000 Maggie Haberman is very well sourced.
00:05:34.000 And they have a new article out this morning that is making the rounds.
00:05:39.000 I have seen the enemy and it is us.
00:05:41.000 Inside Team Trump's historic collapse, how an unpopular president and an unpopular war provided an opening for Democrats to make sweeping gains in the midterms.
00:05:51.000 Now, before you guys jump on my case for quoting the New York Times, I will tell you again, these are very well sourced reporters, and they came out with a book about the rise of Trump 2.0.
00:06:05.000 The New York Times has never had.
00:06:08.000 Any corrections to it or anything?
00:06:10.000 The New York Times, they're a liberal bastion because they are biased in what they decide to talk about, how they frame things.
00:06:17.000 They do not just generally make stuff up.
00:06:19.000 No, right.
00:06:20.000 And yeah, they're very well searched.
00:06:21.000 Maggie Haberman, infamously, Trump calls Maggie Haberman and loves to talk to her.
00:06:25.000 You might think that's unwise, but the president, he's an old fashioned guy.
00:06:28.000 He grew up with the New York Times.
00:06:29.000 I think he's always going to talk to the New York Times.
00:06:31.000 Yep.
00:06:31.000 And it's laying out what this article is essentially when did the Trump world know they were in trouble and did they accurately diagnose the reasons?
00:06:41.000 And I think.
00:06:42.000 Overall, it's kind of good news in the sense they were not really delusional going into the election.
00:06:48.000 So it's saying, first off, it's pointing out losing was not inevitable.
00:06:52.000 We had a lot of money.
00:06:53.000 We had good Supreme Court rulings.
00:06:55.000 We had unpopular.
00:06:56.000 Democrats are still unpopular.
00:06:58.000 But what it looks like in their own internal polling, it was the Iran conflict and the direct impact it had on gas prices and affordability.
00:07:08.000 Which is what we've been saying.
00:07:09.000 Sent the numbers down.
00:07:10.000 And so they're talking about a slideshow presentation that was done for a political strategy meeting.
00:07:15.000 It says, One slide linked Republicans' polling numbers to an Iran war timeline.
00:07:21.000 It showed the Democrat advantage ballooned during active hostilities.
00:07:25.000 It shrank during that memorandum of understanding that Vice President Vance fought for.
00:07:30.000 And then it spiked again when that memorandum of understanding collapsed.
00:07:34.000 By the end of July, Democrats had a 10 point edge on the congressional ballot.
00:07:39.000 And they have them say on one of these slides it's highlighted in yellow Republicans could conceivably win the House.
00:07:48.000 If Democrats had only a four point edge in the popular vote.
00:07:50.000 That was you right there.
00:07:52.000 That point right there.
00:07:54.000 They knew that they could hold on to even the House if it was a D plus four electorate. 0.57
00:08:00.000 That tells you a lot because what we could not know going into this election was were there going to be people that voted against the craziness of the Dems or were they going to just be all voting out of frustration with Iran and the gas prices?
00:08:13.000 We didn't really know actually, but that tells you a lot that if it would have been D four, then the House is even in play.
00:08:21.000 But as it happens, it was about D 13.
00:08:23.000 So.
00:08:24.000 One in 11 voters changed their mind.
00:08:26.000 So, if one in 11 voters changed their mind over that war, over gas prices, that's the difference between keep the Senate, expand the Senate even, keep the House, and what we just saw.
00:08:38.000 And it says, and it points this out the Memorandum of Understanding.
00:08:41.000 It was favored by 41 percentage points.
00:08:43.000 That's 70 30, basically, in terms of popular support.
00:08:46.000 67% thought it would bring down gas prices. 0.98
00:08:50.000 But the Iranians kept flexing their leverage.
00:08:53.000 That's the New York Times. 0.67
00:08:54.000 And the arrangement began to fray.
00:08:55.000 The war dragged on.
00:08:57.000 And I think.
00:08:58.000 So throw up 143.
00:08:59.000 I think this is important to read verbatim.
00:09:03.000 Mr. Fabrizio's poll, first poll of the proposal, found that voters aware of the deal, the MOU, that JD Vance was pushing in the summer, which we loudly cheerleaded for because we knew it was going to be popular.
00:09:18.000 And I took a lot of incoming for this.
00:09:20.000 A lot of people came right at me.
00:09:23.000 I debated it on podcasts.
00:09:26.000 And it said the deal favored it by 41 percentage points, and 67% thought it would bring down gas prices.
00:09:33.000 So, if you're going to get 41 percentage points in the favorable category, to Blake's point, that's a 70 30 split.
00:09:40.000 70% of Americans favored the MOU. 0.82
00:09:44.000 But the Iranians kept flexing their leverage, and the arrangement began to fray.
00:09:49.000 GOP Iran hawks, including Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, pressed Mr. Trump to keep the pressure on Tehran.
00:09:56.000 The deal fell apart, and the war dragged on. 0.87
00:09:58.000 While I think this is So important is because every time I mention push for peace, or every time I say let's get the MOU done, every time we have Will Chamberlain on the show, who was very pro Iran war, and he came on yesterday and said, I was wrong, we should get out of Iran. 0.87
00:10:18.000 Every time we do that, you have the same voices come in and tell us that we're wrong and that you don't understand foreign policy and this and that.
00:10:26.000 I honestly am getting to the point where I think some of those voices, you just need to tune them out completely.
00:10:31.000 Because they are completely tone deaf and out of touch. 0.99
00:10:33.000 You now are the proud citizens of the gayest Congress in American history. 0.99
00:10:41.000 That is an announcement from the Congressional Equality Caucus, which is 144 through 114. 0.58
00:10:47.000 And they are overtly bragging, yes, this is the gayest Congress in American history. 0.70
00:10:53.000 God's judgment on us, which is really saying something. 0.90
00:10:57.000 It's really saying something because this last Congress was pretty fake. 1.00
00:11:01.000 It was pretty fake and gay. 1.00
00:11:02.000 So here we are with the gayest Congress. 1.00
00:11:05.000 In American history. 1.00
00:11:06.000 Thank you to everybody who stayed home.
00:11:09.000 This is what you've delivered us.
00:11:12.000 Just, I mean, it's got to be a troll.
00:11:15.000 It's got, but no, it's not.
00:11:17.000 No, no, there's not a lot of irony on the left these days.
00:11:19.000 Yeah.
00:11:19.000 So what's interesting is this looks like this market story is really going to be something.
00:11:27.000 Bernie Sanders has now come up out calling for a moratorium on AI and data centers.
00:11:33.000 SOP 14.
00:11:35.000 Democrats must enact.
00:11:37.000 A national moratorium on AI data centers must pause advanced AI development and ban superintelligence.
00:11:47.000 And, by the way, I might mention that yesterday in the election, in dozens of communities throughout our country, citizens voted for a moratorium on the construction of data centers.
00:12:02.000 In other words, a moratorium on data centers is exactly what the American people want.
00:12:09.000 He might be right. 0.95
00:12:10.000 But at the same time, I would say if you vote for that, you are voting for us to be a subservient country to China forever.
00:12:18.000 But look at what's happening to the market, SOT 12.
00:12:21.000 Yeah, and we're down 3.5% on the SP and 5.2% on the NASDAQ, to Carl's point earlier, worst day we've seen all year.
00:12:30.000 Yeah, so that's a developing story.
00:12:32.000 And, you know, like, I mean, Elon Musk's out here, 146.
00:12:37.000 Congressman Yasmini Ansari says, top of the Democrat agenda on day one needs to be a pause on advanced AI development, regulation of this out of control industry, and a ban on artificial superintelligence.
00:12:49.000 So, and Elon Musk responds, it's a brave new world.
00:12:51.000 He also responded, Hey, those data centers in space are looking awfully good right now because that is one of the things that SpaceX is working on being able to launch data centers powered by solar energy with permanent cooling systems.
00:13:03.000 There is some latency in there, but the way this is going, that does seem to be a very appealing alternative.
00:13:11.000 Now, back to this Maggie Haberman story, Jonathan Swan, Shane Goldmacher out of the New York Times.
00:13:18.000 Why this is, I think, really interesting right now is because after a loss this big, and let's just be blunt, this is the biggest loss in Republican history.
00:13:27.000 Politics since Watergate, maybe in the last hundred years.
00:13:30.000 Genuinely.
00:13:31.000 I mean, it was that deep.
00:13:32.000 Now, I will note just because everyone wants to black pill, Watergate was incredibly ugly.
00:13:36.000 And then two years later, we lost the presidential race, but it was one of the closest in history.
00:13:40.000 And if the election had been a week later, Ford probably would have won because he only gained the entirety of the campaign.
00:13:46.000 Yeah.
00:13:47.000 So that's good to know.
00:13:48.000 Just like to throw that out there.
00:13:50.000 And by the way, I do think when you have a purge like this, when you get rid of a bunch of mediocre people, we got rid of some good ones, though, too.
00:13:57.000 But when you get rid of a bunch of mediocre people, that gives.
00:14:00.000 Way to a new crop of candidates that can be younger, more dynamic, ready to appeal to Gen Z, Gen Alpha is going to be a thing, and millennial men. 0.85
00:14:10.000 And when you have an electorate where you see the Jewish vote swing four points to the left, you see Muslims vote and block like we told you they were going to do, massively left wing, the nuns massively left wing, and we lost ground with our two big groups, which is Catholics and Christians and whites.
00:14:30.000 So those are our supporters. 0.96
00:14:32.000 We need to reinvigorate our outreach and solidify that base, get them believing again that we're going to actually do what we say.
00:14:40.000 So, those are lessons that we need to really internalize.
00:14:44.000 But when you have a loss this big, nevertheless, people want a head to roll.
00:14:48.000 No.
00:14:48.000 So, that's the big topic.
00:14:51.000 We were discussing this before the show because a lot of people in the immediate aftermath were saying, who should take the blame for this?
00:14:58.000 And one obvious contender that's been thrown around, for example, is Pete Hegsef because.
00:15:03.000 A lot of people, I mean, the vice president himself is saying this result was due to the Iran war.
00:15:08.000 President Trump acknowledges it.
00:15:09.000 Even the President Trump acknowledges it.
00:15:11.000 That New York Times article makes it clear they knew the war is their biggest drag.
00:15:15.000 Well, then you can say who's the architect of that war?
00:15:19.000 And in all of the reporting, again, from the New York Times and other outlets, for example, when we decided to go into Iran, Vice President Vance warned he didn't think it was a good idea.
00:15:30.000 It sounds like Secretary of State Rubio didn't think it was a great idea.
00:15:34.000 Most of that reporting does say that Secretary of War Hegsef was a supporter of it, that he thought we could win it decisively.
00:15:40.000 Yeah, I have a different take than Blake on this.
00:15:43.000 I mean, part of it is inspired by the fact that Charlie himself fought so hard to get Pete Hegseth in his role.
00:15:50.000 I would look at military recruitment as way up.
00:15:52.000 He's re inspired the troops.
00:15:54.000 He's been good on the trans stuff, on DEI stuff, you know, putting physical fitness back into.
00:16:00.000 And I would say he's been a dutiful soldier.
00:16:04.000 The role of the Secretary of War is yes, to execute on the plans of the president, who is the commander of the military.
00:16:13.000 And I think he has done his job.
00:16:16.000 And I think it would be scapegoating to take Pete Hegzett down.
00:16:20.000 Maybe, but I would acknowledge that people feel that way.
00:16:24.000 There's a lot of people talking about that right now.
00:16:25.000 Well, let's use an example.
00:16:27.000 In World War II, our first big battle in World War II, the Battle of Kasserine Pass, we actually get shellacked by the Germans.
00:16:35.000 So some generals get fired over that.
00:16:38.000 In Korea, General MacArthur feuds with President Truman, but he's also defeated by the Chinese, he's driven back.
00:16:45.000 We fired him.
00:16:45.000 Abraham Lincoln, he fires General McDowell, General McClellan, General Burnside, General Hooker.
00:16:52.000 They all get fired because they lose battles.
00:16:55.000 But we haven't lost the Iran war in a conventional sense. 0.92
00:16:59.000 We didn't. 0.87
00:16:59.000 It's just dragged on. 0.87
00:17:00.000 Well, we didn't lose the civil war either.
00:17:02.000 But we clearly went in to Iran with people saying we can end this in three weeks, four weeks, maybe five weeks at the longest, that this would be a short conflict. 0.89
00:17:12.000 We can get out.
00:17:13.000 It'll be over with. 0.99
00:17:14.000 And then we've dealt with Iran. 0.99
00:17:15.000 Well, that didn't happen. 0.60
00:17:17.000 Okay.
00:17:17.000 And I think there should be accountability for that.
00:17:19.000 Let's ask.
00:17:20.000 The audience.
00:17:21.000 So, because the other name that's being floated is Susie Wiles, the president's chief of staff.
00:17:27.000 And I guess the question is threefold Who should have their head roll, or should anyone?
00:17:33.000 Should anyone?
00:17:34.000 Yeah, should be fired after this loss.
00:17:38.000 And who should it be?
00:17:38.000 Do you think that Susie Wiles, Pete Hegseth, somebody else?
00:17:43.000 So, those are the questions.
00:17:44.000 Please send us your emails.
00:17:45.000 We want to hear from the audience on this freedom at charliekirk.com, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:17:50.000 But this is a big open question.
00:17:54.000 You know, a lot of people angling for that job would be Jay Clayton, Stephen Miller, Scavino.
00:17:59.000 Those are some of the names being floated.
00:18:02.000 We'll see.
00:18:04.000 Some people have even floated Speaker Johnson taking over the chief of staff role.
00:18:09.000 So lots going on.
00:18:10.000 So send us your emails freedom at charleykirk.com, freedom at charleykirk.com.
00:18:14.000 Should anybody's head roll for a loss this big?
00:18:18.000 And who should it be?
00:18:20.000 We want to hear your thoughts.
00:18:21.000 I'm going to stick by Charlie's guy, Pete Hegseth, who is a friend of mine too.
00:18:21.000 I'm.
00:18:27.000 I'll say that out loud.
00:18:29.000 I've known Pete for a long time since his days at Fox, and I think he's done a lot of great things.
00:18:36.000 What if today's mortgage market isn't an obstacle, but an opportunity?
00:18:40.000 Yes, mortgage rates are higher than we'd all like them to be.
00:18:43.000 But while some buyers are sitting on the sidelines, others are discovering opportunities to negotiate, find the right home, and make a move on their own terms.
00:18:51.000 Here's something to think about.
00:18:52.000 If you buy when the opportunity is right, you may be able to refinance down the road if rates improve and you qualify.
00:18:58.000 So don't let today's uncertainty steal tomorrow's possibilities.

00:19:36.000 Without further ado, we've got the great Sean Davis.
00:19:40.000 Sean, we haven't really, I would say, absorbed, processed together what happened, but we're talking this morning about what needs to happen next.
00:19:49.000 And there is a lot of people that want to see some heads roll within the admin for some of the mistakes that were made.
00:19:57.000 We just asked our audience, Blake's going to read some of their emails in just a second.
00:20:00.000 What do they think?
00:20:01.000 Do they think somebody's head needs to roll?
00:20:03.000 And should it be Susie?
00:20:05.000 Should it be Pete?
00:20:07.000 I guess we got an email saying Steven Miller.
00:20:10.000 I strongly disagree with that one.
00:20:12.000 If you like anything, this administration is doing.
00:20:14.000 The one lone spot when it came to exit polling was immigration, but fine.
00:20:19.000 Sean, what do you make of this kind of obviously finger pointing?
00:20:23.000 People want to see accountability.
00:20:25.000 Your take.
00:20:26.000 Yeah, so I think a couple things need to happen.
00:20:28.000 Everyone who pushed this war to the president publicly and privately, everyone who told him that it was going to be quick, it was going to be easy, it was just going to be like Venezuela, gas prices wouldn't go up, everyone would love it, it would be over by April or then June or then August.
00:20:45.000 Those people need to be banned from ever setting foot in the White House ever again.
00:20:49.000 So, whether that's advisors in the White House or people outside the White House, they need to be gone.
00:20:55.000 I'm reminded in 2006, which was a very similar election to this one unpopular war, second term president down in the polls.
00:21:04.000 The war ends up dragging down the entire Republican Party.
00:21:08.000 The next morning, the morning after the election, Donald Rumsfeld resigned, the defense secretary.
00:21:13.000 He understood he had a job, it didn't get done.
00:21:17.000 He took the fall.
00:21:17.000 I think it was a very honorable thing for him to do.
00:21:21.000 I will say I'm a bit surprised that we have not seen any resignations.
00:21:26.000 I would have expected either Susie Wiles or Pete Hegseth.
00:21:30.000 Look, they're both great people, but at some point there's got to be accountability.
00:21:35.000 I would have expected to see at least one of two resignations there on Wednesday morning.
00:21:40.000 It's surprising to me that we haven't seen that yet because, look, you got to have accountability.
00:21:45.000 It was a horrific election.
00:21:46.000 We all know why it happened.
00:21:48.000 There needs to be accountability so that we can pick up the pieces and move on.
00:21:51.000 So, your take, Sean Davis, is you would have expected resignations from both Susie and Pete Hegseth?
00:21:51.000 All right.
00:22:00.000 At least one of them.
00:22:00.000 Is that your take?
00:22:01.000 At least one of them.
00:22:03.000 And on Stephen Miller, you look at the exit polls, the only bright spot for Republicans, the only area where they had an advantage over Democrats was on immigration.
00:22:11.000 So, if anything, Stephen Miller should be getting promoted and being given more authority within the White House because he was the one overseeing the one thing that everyone seemed to approve of, notwithstanding everything else that was going on.
00:22:22.000 And Democrats were a Afraid to even talk about.
00:22:25.000 I loved this chart.
00:22:26.000 Axios did it that ice was only even an issue in Democrat primaries.
00:22:30.000 And once they got to the general, it was, I think, the 35th most common topic in Democrat ads.
00:22:36.000 They were talking about gas prices, taxes, affordability, health care.
00:22:40.000 That's what they honed in on.
00:22:42.000 They didn't even talk about Trump as much as those things.
00:22:43.000 Yeah.
00:22:44.000 And so it is interesting.
00:22:46.000 And they also got, by the way, just so we're clear, what they did Democrats spent a lot of money targeting three out of four and four out of four Republicans.
00:22:55.000 And I mean, a lot of money.
00:22:57.000 They read the tea leaves right.
00:22:59.000 They saw that defections were going to happen and they drove up defections.
00:23:02.000 For example, in Arizona, we were modeling a very conservative 89% of Republicans voting for Andy Biggs.
00:23:09.000 I haven't seen the numbers yet, but across Texas, I've seen a bunch of the numbers come in.
00:23:14.000 And we're talking like 15% defections, 20% defections across Texas.
00:23:20.000 So a lot of Republicans basically flipped and they voted Democrat because of, namely, the war.
00:23:27.000 But it was not because of immigration.
00:23:29.000 Was it because of the economy?
00:23:31.000 It was because of a sense of corruption within the admin?
00:23:35.000 It was because of gas prices and the war.
00:23:38.000 All of those linked together.
00:23:39.000 Really, it's the most obvious thing ever.
00:23:42.000 Trump ran, no new wars.
00:23:44.000 I'm going to make stuff affordable again.
00:23:45.000 There are people out there who want to avoid accountability and responsibility for their war pimping who are trying to blame it on tariffs.
00:23:52.000 Trump ran on tariffs.
00:23:53.000 It was a major part of his campaign.
00:23:55.000 Everyone was all in on it.
00:23:56.000 He won all the battleground states pushing for tariffs and onshoring jobs back into America and making things in America.
00:24:03.000 This election was lost because of the war, and it was lost in a similar way to when George H.W. Bush got taken out after he said, Read my lips, no new taxes.
00:24:12.000 That was a major campaign pledge.
00:24:14.000 Everyone was bought in on it.
00:24:15.000 He didn't follow through with it and he got punished.
00:24:18.000 And the silver lining here is that this is a midterm election.
00:24:22.000 It's not a presidential election.
00:24:23.000 And if Trump has shown us one thing, the man listens and he learns.
00:24:28.000 You know, he made mistakes in 2020 with Fauci and COVID.
00:24:31.000 He learned from that and came back in 2024 like the Trump we saw in 2016.
00:24:35.000 So the silver lining here is that Trump's a smart guy.
00:24:38.000 He's a brilliant, canny politician who listens like no other politician I've seen.
00:24:43.000 Especially to criticism and negative feedback.
00:24:47.000 And so, thank goodness this was a midterm and not a presidential.
00:24:51.000 But reading the tea leaves ain't hard.
00:24:53.000 It was the war.
00:24:54.000 So, you know, let me play devil's advocate again, and then I'm going to get some of these emails.
00:24:59.000 So, you will hear an often used Democrat talking point that says, you know, the killing Americans in the streets, you know, Renee Good, Alex Pretty.
00:25:08.000 And they did win that PR war for a time.
00:25:13.000 Difference, you know, some people that want to blame Stephen Miller say the shock and awe, the raids, the agents on the streets, this kind of thing was unpopular, and that they want to blame him because they didn't go after the banking system, didn't cut the legals off of, you know, the financial system.
00:25:30.000 Do you lend any credence to that, or do you think it's bluster?
00:25:35.000 That's just a talking point.
00:25:37.000 That could be a little thing with tactics.
00:25:38.000 You know, I think we probably saw those numbers change after Gnome left and Mullen came in.
00:25:43.000 He kind of had more of a focus on.
00:25:45.000 Quiet enforcement, getting bigger numbers, but not doing it as loudly.
00:25:48.000 But when you look at the way that young men switched, when you look at the major defections, it was over the war.
00:25:56.000 I mean, I saw an exit poll that said 74% of voters said that the war was a crucial or major factor in their vote, and Democrats won 62%. 0.87
00:26:04.000 You talk to any young men, and what they were excited about was we're going to get rid of the Epstein nonsense, we're going to take down the corrupt powers that be, and then we're not going to have any new wars. 0.77
00:26:15.000 And that didn't happen. 0.70
00:26:17.000 The podcast bros were the canaries in the coal mine on that.
00:26:19.000 When we saw them kind of starting to leave and bail in midsummer, that was the sign.
00:26:25.000 So I don't think it was, oh, immigration enforcement is mean.
00:26:29.000 It was, he promised not to do new wars and he came in and he did.
00:26:32.000 And people said, all right, well, you're going to pay now.
00:26:34.000 I just think it didn't necessarily pull as strongly as you'd expect.
00:26:34.000 Yeah.
00:26:39.000 But I just think for so many people, it crystallized this idea I fell for something in 2024, that I was promised a specific thing.
00:26:48.000 And it was just such a clear break with what they felt they were promised, what they expected, that they just said, oh, it's all bogus.
00:26:55.000 I'm checked out.
00:26:56.000 So some of them flipped to the Democrats, and a lot of them just stayed home.
00:26:59.000 And it's going to be, I'll be frank, it's going to be difficult to get those people back.
00:27:03.000 And that's why we are getting a lot of emails that say, don't fire anyone that's surrendering to the left.
00:27:09.000 Don't give an inch.
00:27:10.000 But I think you have to show that we have learned this lesson.
00:27:13.000 And we had Will on yesterday who said, we should bail on that war, even if it's costly to America.
00:27:19.000 And I think part of that is you have to come out and say, People who argued for this war and failed to win it within a few weeks, they're gone.
00:27:28.000 Yeah.
00:27:28.000 So, what are the emails saying?
00:27:30.000 Oh, I mean, there's a lot of that.
00:27:31.000 So, let me get more of them here.
00:27:33.000 Let's see. 0.97
00:27:35.000 We've got whoever is in charge of managing expectations should get fired.
00:27:40.000 It's not Hegseth's fault.
00:27:41.000 The war could not be finished in that time period.
00:27:43.000 Well, I would push back on that.
00:27:44.000 Hegseth is the Secretary of War.
00:27:46.000 If President Trump believed he could win it in a month, that is because Secretary Hegseth told him that.
00:27:51.000 I believe.
00:27:53.000 I mean, there's probably a number of voices within that war council that would be informing those decisions.
00:27:58.000 I mean, I tend to feel very sympathetic.
00:28:02.000 I feel like Hegseth, yeah, I mean, there's some of the reporting said that he was involved in.
00:28:08.000 You know, encouraging the president, right?
00:28:10.000 I'm not sure that that's accurate reporting or not, but let's assume that he was a little bit more hawkish.
00:28:17.000 Yeah, I mean, he's a dutiful soldier.
00:28:19.000 He did his job.
00:28:21.000 I still think the Department of War is being run a thousand times better than it was before.
00:28:25.000 He deserves a lot of credit for this.
00:28:27.000 I think that's great.
00:28:28.000 I love that.
00:28:29.000 And I go back to the Civil War.
00:28:30.000 Every history of the Civil War will tell you General McClellan, great organizer, great trainer.
00:28:35.000 The troops loved him, but he didn't win when he went into battle.
00:28:40.000 I want to hear from the audience specifically on Hegseth.
00:28:43.000 So let us know your thoughts on Hegseth.
00:28:46.000 I don't put the blame at Hegseth's feet.
00:28:48.000 I know that obviously his name has been bandied about a lot.
00:28:51.000 Well, we're getting a lot.
00:28:52.000 No firings.
00:28:53.000 Absolutely no firings.
00:28:55.000 It would be backing down like ice in Minneapolis.
00:28:57.000 Someone says Thune should take the blame. 0.93
00:28:59.000 Leave Hegseth alone. 0.98
00:29:00.000 Thune is the traitor. 0.97
00:29:01.000 A lot of that. 0.98
00:29:02.000 There is a lot of it's the Senate that let us down.
00:29:04.000 I'm good.
00:29:05.000 I publicly called for Thune to step down.
00:29:05.000 I'm good.
00:29:08.000 Throw him in the volcano. 1.00
00:29:09.000 The volcano needs a sacrifice. 0.99
00:29:11.000 Let's make it John Thune.
00:29:12.000 I have, you know, listen, DeSantis.
00:29:14.000 I know there's a lot of passions on either side of the DeSantis thing, especially as 2028 comes along.
00:29:20.000 But, you know, he's sounding a lot of the right notes.
00:29:22.000 I mean, he plays blame squarely last night on Laura Ingram on both sides of Pennsylvania Avenue because, you know, when he was asked, should they blow up the filibuster?
00:29:30.000 He's like, yeah, maybe if they were going to do something bold and generational.
00:29:34.000 There was no appetite for that.
00:29:36.000 And Thune deserves a lot of grief for that.
00:29:38.000 All right, Sean Davis, before we get too far down the road here, we got even more emails coming in, I will note.
00:29:44.000 And it's mostly.
00:29:45.000 Don't fire, don't fire Hegseth.
00:29:46.000 So, you were right on how the listeners would feel, Andrew.
00:29:50.000 Of course, I was.
00:29:51.000 Hegseth is the best.
00:29:52.000 Absolutely terrible to call for firing Hegseth.
00:29:55.000 Someone says civilians should have no opinion on this.
00:29:59.000 Hegseth is great.
00:30:00.000 Whoever kept giving Trump advice on how to handle Iran was probably somebody else.
00:30:04.000 Well, I mean, there was Raisin Kane involved in some of the war planning and others.
00:30:09.000 Trump says, hey, I want to invade Iran, I want to go to war in Iran. 0.99
00:30:09.000 And that's their job. 0.99
00:30:14.000 Give me a plan.
00:30:15.000 Right.
00:30:17.000 So, anyways, Sean, I just want to make sure that we talk about this.
00:30:23.000 You made me lose my train of thought.
00:30:24.000 Sean, you have a new show.
00:30:26.000 A new show, Sean.
00:30:27.000 Yes.
00:30:28.000 I love it.
00:30:28.000 It's amazing.
00:30:29.000 Tell us about it.
00:30:30.000 It's the Sean Davis News Explosion.
00:30:32.000 That airs weekly, Wednesday mornings.
00:30:34.000 It's very fun.
00:30:36.000 We're not going to take ourselves too seriously.
00:30:38.000 We're going to make inappropriate jokes.
00:30:40.000 We're going to mock neocons. 1.00
00:30:41.000 We're going to call Democrats gay. 1.00
00:30:43.000 It's going to be death to neocons, Sean. 1.00
00:30:44.000 It's going to be a blast.
00:30:46.000 I mean, if anything has come out, just such a clarifying moment, I hope, for the movement is that neocons, the siren song of being able to invade the world and everything's going to go swimmingly, hopefully that has been put to rest once and for all, finally.
00:31:04.000 It won't be because they'll come back like a bad penny.
00:31:06.000 They always turn up. 0.98
00:31:07.000 But for the love, blood and treasure and death being just poured out throughout the Middle East, you'd think we would have learned that lesson after the Bush years.
00:31:18.000 And somehow here we are again.
00:31:20.000 Here we are.
00:31:20.000 You'd think we would have, and I don't want to sound extreme or hyperbolic here.
00:31:25.000 We should probably just throw Mark Thiessen into a volcano.
00:31:29.000 Like, if you were out there saying it's just 10 to 14 more days to stop the spread of nukes and gas prices will be fine, like, you just shouldn't be allowed to talk in polite company anymore.
00:31:40.000 If you were the reason, if you're going to the White House every single day and saying, hey, this war is going to be easy and people are going to love it, like, you just can't be taken seriously anymore.
00:31:50.000 We've been dealing with this for 25 years now.
00:31:54.000 I feel like a quarter of a century is enough.
00:31:56.000 Let's just get back to making America awesome and the rest of the world can figure itself out.
00:32:01.000 Yeah. 0.88
00:32:02.000 I think the headline in his Washington Post op ed that I've seen passed around more than anything else in the aftermath is There's no downside to invading Iran or striking Iran.
00:32:14.000 No downside to striking Iran at that moment.
00:32:16.000 Yeah, and Charlie would have been pulling his hair out at that, I can just tell you.
00:32:20.000 So, what we said before the break was that there's a lot of blame to go around on both sides of Pennsylvania Avenue.
00:32:28.000 And it does feel like this was a rebuke of the inaction of the Senate.
00:32:35.000 And Congress as well, right?
00:32:37.000 And the House.
00:32:39.000 The Save America Act, by the way, those propositions passed in multiple places.
00:32:46.000 Voter ID, and yet we couldn't get it done.
00:32:49.000 A massively, massively popular bill.
00:32:51.000 I want to play this clip from Ron DeSantis and get your reaction.
00:32:53.000 Stop five.
00:32:54.000 No indication that the current group of Republican senators were interested in doing that type of bold conservative change.
00:33:03.000 I mean, why haven't we done immigration?
00:33:05.000 Shut off H 1B visas? 0.55
00:33:07.000 Why haven't we codified?
00:33:09.000 Trump's immigration executive orders.
00:33:11.000 There's so, why haven't we stripped jurisdiction from the federal courts over deportation cases?
00:33:18.000 There's so many things that could have been done.
00:33:20.000 They didn't even attempt it, Laura.
00:33:22.000 They would say, oh, if only we needed 50 votes, we would have done it.
00:33:25.000 You've never shown that you'll do conservative things, even with 50 votes.
00:33:29.000 I'd love to see all this great stuff being done.
00:33:31.000 I just never saw an indication that they did it.
00:33:34.000 And look, this midterm, no question, was a rebuke of the president and the Congress.
00:33:40.000 But, A lot of our voters who stayed home, they stayed home because they were frustrated with the lack of productivity from Republicans in the House and Senate.
00:33:51.000 Sean Davis.
00:33:52.000 I totally agree.
00:33:53.000 I think there were three main reasons we got hurt.
00:33:55.000 One was the war.
00:33:57.000 Two is just history.
00:33:58.000 Midterms are bad for the incumbent party. 0.97
00:34:00.000 But then the other one was Senate Republicans were worthless.
00:34:03.000 If they had spent as much time trying to pass the Save America Act as they did making excuses for why they couldn't pass it, the thing would have been law a year ago.
00:34:12.000 So, you can't have a midterm election where base turnout is everything and then have one of your major institutions in the Senate and have its leaders going around and crying and complaining that you're being mean to them by asking them to do the thing they promised to do, which is voter ID.
00:34:27.000 A bunch of them deserve to get absolutely cooked.
00:34:30.000 And what sucks is they lost, but now we're going to be the ones who pay the price.
00:34:34.000 And it's not even just the Save America Act is bad, but if you had that determination to pass it, or yeah, if you throw out the filibuster, if you went in on, because people are asking, could they?
00:34:44.000 Repeal the filibuster now and pass it now.
00:34:46.000 And I have to tell them no, because there is a political hit to repealing the filibuster.
00:34:50.000 It is an aggressive move.
00:34:51.000 It is something Democrats can exploit.
00:34:53.000 If they'd gone in day one and said, We're getting rid of this.
00:34:57.000 And because we're getting rid of this, that means we can fix our broken immigration system. 0.96
00:35:01.000 We can actually do major reforms to the American economy throughout it. 0.99
00:35:06.000 We can even things out.
00:35:07.000 We can offer new opportunities to people.
00:35:08.000 Like they could have been had this been the big reformist Congress that people say they always want.
00:35:15.000 And pass a ban on congressional stock trading, actually drain the swamp.
00:35:19.000 They could have done all of those things.
00:35:21.000 And instead, we basically spent the entirety of this Congress with them making excuses about how sad it is that they don't have 60 votes and can't do things.
00:35:29.000 Yeah, and Thune would say, I don't have the numbers to repeal the filibuster.
00:35:34.000 Well, find them.
00:35:35.000 That's your job.
00:35:35.000 And if you can't get it done, give the job to somebody else.
00:35:40.000 Let Mike Lee or Rick Scott do something bold.
00:35:43.000 But this is, I think we're going to look back at this with just tragedy.
00:35:48.000 It was so much effort, so much work.
00:35:50.000 Charlie gave his life for this, for real, bold, conservative.
00:35:54.000 Legislation and they had the opportunity.
00:35:57.000 We got them the numbers.
00:35:59.000 They just couldn't get it done.
00:36:01.000 They couldn't get it done.
00:36:02.000 They couldn't find a way and they didn't want to find a way.
00:36:05.000 Sean, one more time on your show.
00:36:06.000 10 seconds where people can find it.
00:36:08.000 It is the Sean Davis News Explosion.

00:36:19.000 All right.
00:36:20.000 Thanks for that, Sean.
00:36:24.000 Picture this you go to pay for groceries and your card is declined.
00:36:28.000 You check the app.
00:36:29.000 Zero.
00:36:30.000 The IRS just levied your account overnight and nobody called to tell you about it.
00:36:34.000 That's not a horror story.
00:36:36.000 That's a Tuesday for the IRS.
00:36:38.000 Liens, levies, wage garnishments, bank seizures.
00:36:42.000 They take what you've earned and they do not hesitate.
00:36:45.000 If you owe back taxes or haven't filed, do not wait.

00:37:10.000 The IRS is not going to forget about you.
00:37:12.000 It's not a matter of if they act, it's when.

00:37:34.000 I want to give you an alarming stat here.
00:37:38.000 America now has 11 Muslim mayors, 98 Muslims on city council, 14 Muslims in the state senate, six Muslims in the U.S. House of Representatives, and according to CARE's own website, a record 255 Muslim elected officials across 26 states.
00:37:58.000 And now, Texas, one of the, I would say, ground zero states when it comes to Muslims proliferating and building mosques.
00:38:08.000 Has now swung 20% to the left. 0.97
00:38:11.000 And so we can only expect more of that.
00:38:13.000 Here to help us unpack what this means and how we got here is Ridvan Idemir, also known as the apostate prophet, and a friend of ours, friend of Charlie's.
00:38:24.000 You're in town, and it's great to have you here.
00:38:26.000 You just got married, too.
00:38:27.000 So congratulations, my friend.
00:38:28.000 Thank you.
00:38:29.000 Thank you.
00:38:29.000 Yeah.
00:38:29.000 Go make lots of babies, lots of Christian babies.
00:38:32.000 Will do. 1.00
00:38:33.000 So I put out a tweet that was basically, you know, hey, look it. 0.92
00:38:39.000 We lost the Jewish vote by four points, despite everything that's going on. 0.90
00:38:44.000 We saw that Muslims, as we predicted, voted in block for the left. 0.91
00:38:50.000 The nuns voted almost in block for the left. 0.99
00:38:54.000 And we lost ground with Christians. 0.94
00:38:56.000 And to me, that is a wake up call that we're not doing something right. 0.99
00:39:02.000 Okay.
00:39:03.000 Obviously, it's a wave year.
00:39:04.000 There was a lot of dynamics going in around the war, that sort of thing.
00:39:08.000 But you're here as almost a.
00:39:12.000 Cautionary tale or a warning about what's coming. 1.00
00:39:16.000 It does seem that Muslims have a very, very distinct political agenda.
00:39:20.000 They wouldn't vote in the numbers they vote if they didn't, and they wouldn't vote far left if they didn't.
00:39:25.000 So, what is going on here?
00:39:26.000 Well, you know, there's something very interesting going on.
00:39:29.000 Well, first of all, thanks for having me here.
00:39:30.000 It's always a great pleasure.
00:39:32.000 It's great to have you.
00:39:33.000 But the issue with the Muslim voters, there are statistics out now.
00:39:37.000 I think it's like over 80% of Muslims voted Democrat or something like that.
00:39:43.000 There's always something interesting to watch with Muslims in the West.
00:39:48.000 There was research by Pew Research several years ago from the Netherlands and from Germany and all that.
00:39:53.000 In the Netherlands, for example, 90% of people of Turkish Muslims who live in the Netherlands who voted for the conservative Islamist party of Erdogan voted for leftist parties, for socialist parties.
00:40:06.000 Which doesn't make a whole lot of sense unless there's a scheme afoot.
00:40:10.000 Yeah. 0.95
00:40:11.000 For those Muslims who generally vote for liberal, leftist, progressivist parties, if you ask them about their politics when it comes to their home countries, their countries of origin, they will usually advocate for very conservative political parties, very conservative politics. 1.00
00:40:26.000 They will not advocate for. 1.00
00:40:29.000 For progressivist, leftist ideas, socialist ideas, or anything like that in the Muslim world. 1.00
00:40:33.000 It is always a very strategic move on their behalf because they don't like the culture and the values and the standards of the country that they live in, the Western country. 1.00
00:40:44.000 In this case, they don't like the values of America, of the United States. 0.92
00:40:47.000 They don't like our conservative, our Christian values. 0.75
00:40:49.000 So they have to challenge it somehow. 1.00
00:40:51.000 And the best way to challenge it is, of course, not to create a Muslim party that wouldn't do anything. 0.98
00:40:56.000 It is to go onto the platform of the Democratic Party and tackle the values that we have established. 0.97
00:41:02.000 From within in that way. 0.63
00:41:04.000 And it works because that party opens itself up to the Muslim vote, to the Muslim ideas.
00:41:09.000 They make compromises to advance their goals. 0.51
00:41:12.000 They involve all kinds of minorities, whether they are good minorities or bad minorities, whether those minorities have good ideas or bad ideas, because it's just a generic categorical thing minority, good.
00:41:24.000 So whatever the minority advances is in favor of the ideas of the party.
00:41:29.000 And so they invite the Muslim vote in and Help the Muslims advance their goals in the United States. 0.80
00:41:36.000 And I would say the strategic idea that they have is simply to use the alliance with the left, with the progressives, with the leftists, in order to advance their goals further of tearing down the values that we have established in this country. 0.92
00:41:50.000 And then to, let's say, tear it down and to pave the way for their own ideas to slowly and slowly and slowly be established.
00:42:01.000 I mean, their pride right now, I think Ilan Omar posted about it how. 0.70
00:42:04.000 How she's very, very proud of it that people said they couldn't do anything, but now we have so many Muslims in politics.
00:42:11.000 And she finished this with the Islamic expression, Alhamdulillah, praise to Allah.
00:42:17.000 So that is basically their expression. 0.92
00:42:20.000 It is not an advancement of good things in America for Americans, it is an advancement of Muslims in America. 1.00
00:42:28.000 And I think an advancement of Muslim ideas in America is something that people who are Americans should be very, very worried about. 1.00
00:42:38.000 We talked a lot, of course, about Abdul Al Sayed getting in the Senate, and we talked about those mayors. 0.99
00:42:44.000 But one of the creepiest ones, we have Adam Hamawee in Congress now in New York, former associate of the Blind Sheikh involved in the bombing of the World Trade Center. 0.87
00:42:53.000 And the creepiest thing with him is it's like a darker version of the, you know, remember Obama's pastor and he'd give those wild homilies. 0.99
00:43:01.000 Goddamn America. 1.00
00:43:02.000 Goddamn America. 1.00
00:43:03.000 So this Abdul Rahman, the Blind Sheikh, he would give sermons about jihad and make it very clear what he meant. 0.99
00:43:10.000 You were in America. 1.00
00:43:11.000 We were going to conquer the land of the infidels. 1.00
00:43:14.000 Longtime associate of this guy, testified, I believe, on his behalf in his trial in the 90s. 0.99
00:43:20.000 Now they're going to pitch him as this just normal Democrat in Congress.
00:43:24.000 Well, and by the way, I didn't even mention, now we have our first Muslim senator.
00:43:29.000 Abdul El Sayed is now a senator, and this was his election night.
00:43:34.000 I mean, listen to this crowd.
00:43:35.000 I mean, knowing all the things that you just told me, and then listen to this reception on his election night, SAT 16.
00:43:43.000 My name.
00:43:46.000 Is Abdurrahman Muhammad the Sayyid. 0.64
00:43:50.000 Up until right about now, you might have noticed I always say inshallah or God willing whenever the outcome of this race was mentioned. 0.90
00:43:59.000 But today, tonight, we can turn that inshallah into a alhamdulillah. 0.92
00:44:10.000 Yowzer.
00:44:11.000 What was he even saying?
00:44:12.000 What was he changing it to?
00:44:14.000 I guess we have to get used to that.
00:44:15.000 So it's from inshallah, which is Allah willing.
00:44:18.000 Into Alhamdulillah, which is praise be to Allah.
00:44:21.000 All Americans should know this now because this is now our language.
00:44:25.000 It will now be the language that Americans speak at home, apparently.
00:44:28.000 So everybody should, every American, you guys all have to be aware of what these things mean.
00:44:32.000 Yeah.
00:44:33.000 Great.
00:44:35.000 Maybe dissect his race a little bit and what you perceived, what he was doing, because it did feel like, I mean, a common thing we talk about is takiyah, right? 0.99
00:44:46.000 This concept that you get to lie to infidels if it's advancing Muslim. 0.99
00:44:53.000 Priorities, if you will. 0.98
00:44:56.000 Is that the right interpretation of what Taqiyah is?
00:44:58.000 And did you see any of that in his race, or was it something else?
00:45:01.000 So, Taqiyah is a very ambiguous thing.
00:45:03.000 It is basically, it comes from Muslim history where it was mostly advanced by Shia Muslims, but also kept by Sunni Muslims in different contexts, which is basically that if this was because of the historical persecution of Shia Muslims by Sunni Muslims, or vice versa, where the idea was basically established that in order to protect yourself, to protect your community, you may lie.
00:45:24.000 To those who question you.
00:45:26.000 So you may say, Oh, I'm actually not a Sunni Muslim, I'm actually not a Shia Muslim, I'm actually something else. 0.85
00:45:30.000 So it is okay to lie in order to advance your goals, to protect yourself, or to protect your community, or to advance the goals of your community. 0.90
00:45:38.000 So there might certainly be an aspect of that.
00:45:40.000 I think the other aspect is simply just, you know, in the West, we trust that people mean what they say.
00:45:45.000 We trust that people are actually nice when they smile.
00:45:47.000 We trust that people are good when they seem good and all that.
00:45:50.000 We shake hands, we smile in each other's faces. 1.00
00:45:53.000 Muslim culture doesn't really have the same concept of being very outwardly honest and direct. 1.00
00:45:58.000 It has more of a culture of being subversive, more of an attitude of smiling in your face while hating you within, which is also how I was brought up. 1.00
00:46:07.000 Now, we learned that, you know, I grew up in Germany and was raised by religious Sunni Muslims, and we basically learned that we're supposed to be nice and supposed to be good and supposed to be, you know, listen to those German Christians around us, but we should always remember who we are. 0.99
00:46:23.000 We should always remember our own goals and our own values and advance them and pursue them. 0.96
00:46:29.000 Be nice to the Christians while also believing that they are evil, that they are filthy, and that our place and our time will come. 1.00
00:46:37.000 And, you know, Islam has this whole issue of sticking together, playing the call to prayer with each other, being together in one community, and sticking and being loyal to that Muslim spirit, which is fundamentally against the non Islamic way of life and the non Islamic way of running a society. 0.99
00:46:58.000 Did you know? 0.99
00:46:58.000 All right. 0.99
00:46:59.000 That only two U.S. states have declared the Muslim Brotherhood to be a terrorist organization Texas and Florida.
00:47:08.000 I have a feeling Texas is going to try and roll that back now in the next four years.
00:47:12.000 But only two states.
00:47:13.000 But look at all the countries that have declared the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization Egypt, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Russia, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Jordan, Kenya, Libya, Syria, Paraguay.
00:47:31.000 Jordan is the best one there just because that's out of the direct experience of a lot of relatively, I don't even want to say Jordan's a great country, but it's been a relatively stable one. 0.80
00:47:42.000 And their biggest problem has been radical Islam. 0.78
00:47:45.000 In Muslim countries, it is a gigantic problem because they will say our monarchy, our relatively restrained moderate government is not Islamist enough.
00:47:55.000 Well, and so President Trump designated specific foreign chapters in 2026 as terrorist organizations the Egyptian, Jordanian, Sudanese, and they specifically designated global terrorists.
00:48:10.000 Now, what's interesting about that is Abdul El Sayed is Egyptian.
00:48:16.000 Famously bragged about spending his summers in Egypt, and his parents, or at least his mother and some other family members, have ties directly to the Muslim Brotherhood, the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, I would suspect.
00:48:31.000 How serious is that, or did we make too much of that in the campaign, these ties to the Muslim Brotherhood?
00:48:39.000 The fact that he couldn't disavow without like 68 words was a very, very big question mark for me.
00:48:46.000 Well, I think it's a very important issue, and it's an issue that we need to have answers on.
00:48:52.000 It is a very, very serious problem.
00:48:53.000 It's not something to be taken lightly. 0.89
00:48:55.000 The Muslim Brotherhood was always, from the very beginning, meant to be an organization that was formed to basically say the West has had too much cultural influence on the Muslim world. 0.77
00:49:09.000 The Muslim world went too extreme in their abandoning of Islam and in their adoption of modern ideas of secularism and all that. 0.99
00:49:17.000 What we need to do is to turn back to Islam and advance Islamic goals. 1.00
00:49:21.000 That was basically the idea. 0.99
00:49:23.000 And part of how to advance that was to infiltrate roles in society, in government, in Muslim country governments, but also in Western countries and in other countries to slowly advance and advance and advance and take over and make sure that you bring Islam completely back into society and into government. 0.90
00:49:44.000 When it comes to those Muslim countries, as you can see, there is a huge. 0.88
00:49:48.000 A huge signal, a huge difference here, a huge difference how Muslim countries handle such problems and how Western countries handle such problems. 0.87
00:49:55.000 Most of the countries that banned the Muslim Brotherhood or designated them as terrorist organizations are Muslim countries. 0.54
00:50:01.000 These are countries like Jordan or Egypt or others that have direct experience with this and they say, we have a system in place, we have a monarchy or we have a secular system in place.
00:50:11.000 We don't want it to be overthrown by a subversive Islamist force. 0.92
00:50:15.000 Yeah, so they just ban them. 0.99
00:50:16.000 Yeah, so just ban it.
00:50:18.000 Make it a terrorist organization. 1.00
00:50:19.000 We elect them to the Senate. 1.00
00:50:21.000 In every friendly Muslim country that we have a good relationship with, their biggest concern is actually just the growth of Islamism. 1.00
00:50:30.000 You go to Central Asia, Uzbekistan, what's their biggest fear? 1.00
00:50:32.000 Oh, we have a relatively moderate country. 0.99
00:50:34.000 All these kids are watching radical imams. 0.75
00:50:36.000 And the craziest thing is, often those radical imams live in Britain, live in France, live in the United States, Germany. 0.72
00:50:43.000 I think it was the United Arab Emirates or Saudi Arabia.
00:50:45.000 They're worried about their students going to the West because that is where they get radicalized.
00:50:45.000 One of those two.
00:50:49.000 Specifically to England.
00:50:50.000 Yeah.
00:50:51.000 You know, there's something very, very interesting.
00:50:53.000 On my way here, I was watching some videos.
00:50:56.000 I was thinking about the Muslim immigration to Europe.
00:50:59.000 You know, I grew up in Germany.
00:51:00.000 I watched a lot of the conversation about Islam and Muslim immigrants in Germany as I was growing up.
00:51:06.000 So, I went back and watched videos from, I don't know, like 30 years ago or so, or older, where Germans were dealing with the problem of suddenly, you know, a bunch of immigrants from Turkey and other places coming into the country.
00:51:18.000 And lots of people had anxieties about what to do with this.
00:51:21.000 The conversation at that point was mostly from the Muslim side.
00:51:24.000 Hey, guys, don't be prejudiced against us.
00:51:27.000 You know, don't be afraid of us.
00:51:29.000 Not all of us are bad.
00:51:31.000 We are actually not so bad.
00:51:32.000 We will integrate and all that. 0.98
00:51:34.000 When you compare that to the conversation today, Today, the conversation goes, or from their side, usually goes as this is our country, shut up, you can't tell us what to do, we will do whatever we want, you are Islamophobic, you are racist, you are this and this and that. 0.97
00:51:49.000 If you have any questions about Muslims, you know, it turned from hey guys, we are actually not so bad to shut up, we are here to stay, this is our country too, and you can't tell us anything.
00:51:59.000 It already happened within just a few decades, the attitude changed completely.
00:52:04.000 Of course, it went into the direction of what we say it is.
00:52:07.000 It is a subversion.
00:52:09.000 Form of takeover.
00:52:11.000 And I'm not going to say that they are coming to completely and fully take over every single country, but that is certainly part of the ideal.
00:52:17.000 That's also how I was raised. 0.85
00:52:19.000 I mean, the way I was taught in Muslim society within Germany was that the time might come when we take over.
00:52:27.000 We should work toward always asserting ourselves.
00:52:31.000 And the time will come, might come, maybe in our lifetime, maybe later, that these lands will become Islamic and we might help do that.
00:52:40.000 And we should prepare for the times that were prophesied to us. 0.99
00:52:44.000 So they're doing that here in America. 0.96
00:52:46.000 I mean, remember when they were planning one of those Muslim communities and they were talking about the streets they would name about it? 0.98
00:52:52.000 And it's just some Muslim podcast, but they were saying, oh, we'll name these streets after great Islamic conquerors. 0.51
00:52:57.000 They wanted to name one after Tariq ibn Siad, I think was his name, the guy who conquered Spain for the Muslims, which God willing, we'll do again.
00:53:06.000 They have a very strong historical sense of Islam as a.
00:53:12.000 Conquest religion as a religion that they hope will encompass the entire world. 0.97
00:53:16.000 The early years of Islam were built on military conquest. 0.99
00:53:20.000 Muhammad was a war leader. 0.98
00:53:22.000 That just changes your entire attitude towards the world. 0.84
00:53:26.000 It matters a lot that Christianity was founded by Jesus, not a violent man, not a man who waged war on his enemies, the man who said you should forgive your enemies.
00:53:33.000 And that's not to say Christians can't fight wars, but it just totally changes your outlook towards the world and how you spread your faith. 0.93
00:53:41.000 And Islam, they.
00:53:43.000 They believe in a providential history of their faith that is prophesied.
00:53:50.000 They'll talk about the prophecies that they would take the city of the Romans, Constantinople, became Istanbul, now an Islamic city.
00:53:56.000 The greatest church in Christendom, the Hagia Sophia, is a mosque now. 0.79
00:54:01.000 And they would love to turn your local church into a mosque. 0.50
00:54:04.000 They would love to turn St. Peter's Basilica into a mosque, St. Paul's Cathedral into a mosque.
00:54:09.000 They dream of those things.
00:54:11.000 Ridvan, it's been great having you in studio.
00:54:13.000 I wish we could have more time, but thank you for participating in our.
00:54:16.000 Our local events and getting out there and mixing it up.
00:54:19.000 Hopefully, it was a good experience.
00:54:21.000 It was very, very good.
00:54:23.000 Yeah, awesome.
00:54:24.000 One thing that I like about being here is that we get to be active.
00:54:27.000 During this election, there has been a very, very low turnout among conservatives, Republicans, a lack of enthusiasm.
00:54:34.000 And the other side that wants change, which they think is always good, which is not always good, has been very high.
00:54:39.000 And we need to tackle that.
00:54:41.000 This is a beautiful country.
00:54:43.000 We need to protect it.
00:54:44.000 Yeah, well, and it's also a Christian country.
00:54:46.000 It still is, by the way.
00:54:47.000 The Christian share, the Protestant share of the electorate was down to 17%.
00:54:52.000 And that was because of turnout, not because we don't have numbers. 1.00
00:54:56.000 So the Muslims, they vote and block. 1.00
00:54:59.000 They got out. 1.00
00:55:01.000 And there's a reason for that because it's central to what they believe and how they look at the world and the future.

00:55:10.000 Check him out.
00:55:11.000 He's a good man, good friend.
00:55:13.000 God bless you, my friend.
00:55:14.000 Thank you.
00:55:14.000 See you soon.
00:55:17.000 An important message from Noble Gold Investments November 3rd, control of Congress is on the line.
00:55:22.000 And whatever happens, your savings are going to feel it.
00:55:26.000 If Democrats take power, we could be looking at years of gridlock, followed by the same policies that fueled inflation before more spending, bigger deficits, and a weaker dollar.
00:55:34.000 We lived through this already.
00:55:35.000 In June 2022, inflation was out of control and unchecked.
00:55:39.000 Now, the national debt is over $40 trillion and Washington isn't slowing down.
00:55:44.000 What has gold done since 2022?
00:55:46.000 Doubled, up over 100%.
00:55:49.000 That's right.
00:55:50.000 You can't control what happens on election day.
00:55:52.000 You can control how prepared you are.
00:55:53.000 That's why so many Americans are turning to physical gold and silver.

00:56:16.000 Orrin McIntyre joins us now.
00:56:18.000 Orrin, I want your brutal, blunt, honest take.
00:56:25.000 How do we absorb what happened on Tuesday?
00:56:28.000 I mean, this was the most predictable outcome in human history.
00:56:31.000 We had every warning sign that this was coming.
00:56:34.000 Everybody who told, you know, Told us that the war was going to be a disaster, that it was going to be a political liability, that it was going to cost us momentum, cost us political credibility, cost us political capital. 0.95
00:56:50.000 They were right. 0.98
00:56:50.000 There's simply no other way to parse this. 0.98
00:56:53.000 Like they were absolutely correct.
00:56:55.000 And so now we have a scenario where those chickens came home to roost.
00:57:00.000 Not only did we engage in this war, we then messaged in a disastrous fashion.
00:57:05.000 We had people mocking people who couldn't afford food, couldn't afford gas.
00:57:11.000 We had people running out.
00:57:13.000 Yeah, burritos.
00:57:14.000 We had people insulting young white men saying they were welfare queens when they're the least likely people in the United States to use welfare.
00:57:23.000 I mean, literally, we hit every single branch on the way down.
00:57:27.000 And here's the really dangerous thing this is what people need to understand.
00:57:31.000 This was manufactured.
00:57:33.000 We built a media silo to keep out what was happening here.
00:57:33.000 Okay.
00:57:38.000 After watching the Biden administration, well, or watching the Democrats, first with Biden and then with Kamala Harris.
00:57:45.000 Lie themselves into this position where the emperor had clothes on and everything was fine and we were going to win.
00:57:51.000 And Joe Biden's just this spry guy. 0.80
00:57:53.000 Kamala Harris is brat. 1.00
00:57:54.000 She likes coconuts and spicy Doritos. 1.00
00:57:57.000 And she's going to be this huge social media sensation.
00:58:00.000 After watching the left do this and put themselves in exactly this situation, the conservative movement did the same thing.
00:58:07.000 We saw the polls.
00:58:08.000 We saw the unrest.
00:58:10.000 We saw people turning away.
00:58:12.000 But we had Fox News walking around saying, oh, don't worry.
00:58:15.000 95% of MAGA voters.
00:58:17.000 Support Trump, which is like saying 95% of Christians believe in Jesus Christ.
00:58:21.000 Yes, of course, but you didn't just win with those people.
00:58:24.000 You won with the moderates, the independents, those podcast bros that we all learned to hate and found out were the real problem.
00:58:31.000 They were the people who brought you what you needed.
00:58:34.000 We got every single indication that this was going to be a disaster, but we built a fortress and we said, just trust the pan, shut up, don't be a panic.
00:58:42.000 And ultimately, it's all going to be fine.
00:58:45.000 And it wasn't fine.
00:58:46.000 And now the consequences are here.
00:58:48.000 I take no pleasure in being right about this.
00:58:51.000 But I was far from the only one.
00:58:53.000 People heard endlessly about what was going to happen, and then it happened.
00:58:56.000 And now we all have to sit around and backpedal.
00:58:59.000 Everyone has to pretend either it wasn't the war or they never supported the war or they didn't run around silencing everybody who's warning them what was coming.
00:59:07.000 But that's not what happened.
00:59:09.000 And we have to learn this lesson because we don't get to learn it another time.
00:59:13.000 So, accepting we've got to learn that lesson, we were just debating, for example, with Sean Davis and really debating with the listeners on this show should any heads roll over this result?
00:59:24.000 Should anyone be fired?
00:59:25.000 We proposed maybe Pete Hegsteth, for example.
00:59:28.000 And our listeners say, no, keep him around.
00:59:30.000 But What do you make, either personnel wise or policy wise?
00:59:33.000 The goal, of course, is don't lose the country in 2028.
00:59:37.000 Keep the White House, keep us from careening off a cliff.
00:59:40.000 What actions do we need to be taking right now, in your opinion, to make that reality happen?
00:59:46.000 The biggest problem is we don't know what was happening inside the administration.
00:59:49.000 We have a bunch of reports from places like the Wall Street Journal or the New York Times, but how real are those?
00:59:55.000 We're hearing things like Susie Wilde was telling Donald Trump to walk away from immigration enforcement, to walk away.
01:00:01.000 From deportations.
01:00:03.000 We're hearing that ultimately Trump was the one who pushed the war through.
01:00:07.000 And it was people like Marco Rubio and JD Fance and even members of the Joint Chiefs that ultimately told him, don't do this.
01:00:14.000 And he did it anyway.
01:00:16.000 So if Donald Trump made the decision all by himself to go to war with everyone else telling him, don't do it, well, the only person that ultimately could be held responsible is Donald Trump.
01:00:25.000 And it's very clear that Trump has no intention of walking away from the war now.
01:00:28.000 He said he would enter it again, even if it lost him the midterms.
01:00:32.000 He's been talking about his ballroom and Ramping back up the conflict instead of changing in any way, shape, or form.
01:00:40.000 If we don't walk away from the war, if we don't find some way to extract ourselves from this, then everything else doesn't matter.
01:00:46.000 It's going to be hung around the neck of every Republican for the next two to three election cycles at minimum.
01:00:52.000 So the first thing is Donald Trump has to figure out that this was political poison and he has to care enough about the future of the country and the party to make changes.
01:01:01.000 After that, if we have people like Susie Wiles who are counseling, Uh, you know, bad decisions when it comes to things like domestic policy, when it comes to things like deportations, we have to change it.
01:01:11.000 And here's the most important thing I need the administration to be honest about what's going on here.
01:01:17.000 Okay, we just saw Eric Prince talking about the need to debank illegals and debank their employers.
01:01:23.000 Everybody knows this was the solution from the very beginning the mass deportations, the physical removals, some of those are necessary, but ultimately, you create self deportations, mass self deportations, by making it impossible for illegals to live here.
01:01:37.000 And let's just be frank.
01:01:38.000 The administration has not done that.
01:01:40.000 They absolutely have not done that.
01:01:43.000 And there's got to be a reason.
01:01:44.000 Now, I would take an answer from them that said, We can't do it because the Chamber of Commerce is blocking it.
01:01:50.000 They're here are the specific Republicans.
01:01:51.000 Here are the lobbies.
01:01:52.000 Here are the different businesses that are making it impossible.
01:01:56.000 Name the names.
01:01:57.000 Gain credibility with your base by going out there and being honest with them.
01:02:01.000 Either you can't do this because there are specific actors or specific parts of the system that are blocking you intentionally, or you can do this and you're choosing not to.
01:02:11.000 Because the whole deportation thing is ultimately fake.
01:02:14.000 You have to make a choice and you have to win back the loyalty of your voters by demonstrating real honesty and real accountability.
01:02:24.000 And right now, I'm seeing very little accountability from anybody but JD Vance.
01:02:27.000 JD Vance is the guy who ran out there and said, it was the war.
01:02:30.000 We do need to do better.
01:02:32.000 We do need to take affordability seriously. 1.00
01:02:34.000 We do have to change our relationship with Israel. 0.99
01:02:37.000 And of course, he's being attacked all over the place by the usual suspects for doing so. 0.99
01:02:42.000 But that's the way forward.
01:02:43.000 We need accountability and we need transparency.
01:02:46.000 If you want the support of your people, you're going to have to earn it again.
01:02:49.000 That's all there is to it.
01:02:50.000 Yeah.
01:02:51.000 I mean, I am a big fan of what JD came out and said.
01:02:55.000 I thought it was admirable that he owned it.
01:02:58.000 And he said, Yeah, to all of you who came to me and said, I told you so, you did.
01:03:03.000 And we know from reporting that he was against the war.
01:03:07.000 And I think that is, that is bared, you know, I would say that has been evident from the way that he's handled the MOU process, something that I came out in support of, took a bunch of flack.
01:03:16.000 I'm still taking flack. 0.92
01:03:18.000 I said on social media yesterday, It's time to end the Iran war. 0.91
01:03:22.000 And. 1.00
01:03:22.000 You know, it's not a ratioed tweet, but it's darn close because everybody's like, the MOU is stupid. 1.00
01:03:26.000 We have to finish Iran. 0.99
01:03:27.000 I'm like, did you guys not learn anything? 0.97
01:03:30.000 Did you not learn anything?
01:03:32.000 And here's the Trumpian way, in my opinion, to get out of the Iran situation declare victory.
01:03:38.000 Iran's nuclear capabilities and conventional military have been decimated. 0.76
01:03:43.000 That is true.
01:03:44.000 You know, that was the entire point that we were told at the beginning.
01:03:47.000 We're stopping the nuclear program.
01:03:49.000 Okay, well, there you go.
01:03:50.000 If you have to do a surgical strike in the future, we can talk about that. 0.61
01:03:55.000 Just get out. 0.74
01:03:56.000 And basically, you know, the other thing that's interesting is thanks to the Abraham Accords, the Gulf allies are pretty aligned.
01:04:04.000 There's an opportunity to continue empowering them, and they can take more responsibility for their own region.
01:04:09.000 And so there are messaging platforms here, planks that you could credibly say, hey, now's the time to get out.
01:04:17.000 Declare victory.
01:04:17.000 That's the way you do it.
01:04:19.000 The other thing that's interesting here, by the way, is the United States imports virtually zero crude oil directly from the Strait of Hormuz.
01:04:26.000 So, with the conflict ending, the Gulf states are in a great position to take more responsibility there.
01:04:31.000 So, I think we can get out and save face. 0.97
01:04:34.000 And, you know, we had Will Chamberlain yesterday, who was a proponent of the war, basically say, mea culpa, and it's time to get out, even if there are negative consequences to getting out. 0.92
01:04:45.000 Ultimately, we cannot be run by commies in exchange for Iran not having a nuclear weapon. 0.98
01:04:51.000 So, that, I mean, that's the trade we made. 0.91
01:04:54.000 That's the political calculus that we did.
01:04:56.000 And what's frustrating, Oren.
01:04:59.000 Is that they knew it in the polls for a long time.
01:05:03.000 They saw the divergence for a long time.
01:05:07.000 They knew what we were staring at, and it still happened.
01:05:09.000 Well, the polls have been wrong over and over again, and people wanted to believe that they were going to be wrong again.
01:05:14.000 I get that.
01:05:15.000 I understand at this point not trusting polls.
01:05:17.000 But when you have people like Rich Barris who did get it right when everybody else got it wrong, and he's saying you're in trouble, now you need to start listening.
01:05:23.000 We have guys like Christian Hines who's doing data modeling, and he's telling you, hey, I'm a super pro Trump guy.
01:05:29.000 I fight for it.
01:05:30.000 I'm a plan truster through and through.
01:05:32.000 But I'm looking at the map and it looks bad, and nobody listens, or people start insulting him for telling the truth.
01:05:38.000 You have a bad environment.
01:05:40.000 You have cultivated an environment in which you cannot hear reality.
01:05:44.000 You cannot see reality.
01:05:46.000 And that is incredibly dangerous.
01:05:47.000 You cannot have your political pundit class or your political strategist ignoring reality.
01:05:52.000 That's dangerous.
01:05:53.000 Yeah.
01:05:53.000 I mean, Rufo just made a similar point online just minutes ago saying, you know, one of the issues is that disconnect between the new right intelligentsia and the levers of power.
01:06:06.000 There seems to be a disconnect.
01:06:07.000 So, Oren, it just keeps getting.
01:06:10.000 It's like.
01:06:11.000 It's just the gift that keeps on giving Tuesday night.
01:06:15.000 Democrat Lakeisha Womack has just defeated incumbent Republican Tim Moore in North Carolina's 14th district. 0.90
01:06:25.000 You can look this up, throw up her picture. 0.99
01:06:26.000 This is Lakeisha. 1.00
01:06:29.000 She was charged with stealing a car during the election.
01:06:33.000 Grand Theft Auto strategy.
01:06:34.000 GTA.
01:06:35.000 If you win an election, you get rid of your wanted stars.
01:06:37.000 And she is now a. 0.99
01:06:40.000 Member of Congress, a car thief. 0.95
01:06:42.000 That's great. 1.00
01:06:43.000 And it's the gayest Congress in history. 1.00
01:06:45.000 The gayest Congress, the most car thief. 0.98
01:06:47.000 Did you see we elected like a kind of white rapper type dude in New York? 0.99
01:06:53.000 Oh, yeah, but he's a patriot.
01:06:54.000 Oh, is he?
01:06:55.000 Oh, is that guy on our side?
01:06:56.000 Yeah, he's a patriot.
01:06:57.000 I'll take it.
01:06:57.000 Okay, I guess.
01:06:58.000 I'll take it.
01:06:58.000 Maybe there's something to it.
01:06:59.000 It's like a kid rock.
01:07:00.000 Yeah, he's like, yeah, exactly.
01:07:02.000 All right, okay, great.
01:07:03.000 I'll side with it.
01:07:03.000 Yeah, he did.
01:07:04.000 Somebody tweeted, it's like, I've never looked at somebody and known that they bought the Marshalls Mathers, you know, LP.
01:07:11.000 Day one.
01:07:13.000 So I want to go over some exit poll stuff here with you, Oren.
01:07:18.000 153.
01:07:19.000 This is.
01:07:20.000 Republican House vote by religion.
01:07:23.000 So white evangelicals, we lost four points with white evangelicals, 88 to 84.
01:07:29.000 White Catholics, massive drop off, Blake, 67 to 58. 0.56
01:07:34.000 Your people.
01:07:35.000 Catholics in general, still a majority, but barely, 58 to 51.
01:07:39.000 Check this out.
01:07:40.000 Jewish, 36 to 32. 0.99
01:07:44.000 And no religion, 29 to 21.
01:07:47.000 So the nuns, and then the Muslims were like, it was like, 86%, 87% voted for them.
01:07:54.000 We have another exit poll here from NBC 152.
01:07:59.000 It's a little bit different.
01:08:00.000 These are exit polls, so the data is kind of all over the place.
01:08:03.000 You look for directions.
01:08:05.000 So it was pretty spot on with the Catholics, Protestants, it was way lower according to this exit poll. 0.98
01:08:11.000 But then again, Muslims, 85 to 12. 0.64
01:08:14.000 Jewish, two thirds of Jews voted Democrat, despite El Said running, despite the anti Semitism that is rank and rampant in that. 0.99
01:08:27.000 I posted this stuff and I said, we have to get our Christians out. 0.84
01:08:30.000 I'm told that the Protestant share of the electorate, Oren, was 17%, down from about 25% in 2024. 0.99
01:08:39.000 That's a lot of people staying home.
01:08:40.000 That's a lot of people staying home.
01:08:42.000 What lessons do you glean from these stats?
01:08:45.000 It's the same lessons we get every year.
01:08:47.000 And one day, maybe the Republicans will even learn them.
01:08:49.000 Over and over again, Republicans are always chasing voters that are never going to care about them.
01:08:54.000 They always want.
01:08:55.000 Some new ethnic or religious minority to join in because, at their heart, ultimately conservatives are actually just progressives.
01:09:03.000 They actually believe everything that progressives believe about DEI.
01:09:07.000 They think that minority votes are somehow holier than. 0.75
01:09:10.000 Speak for yourself, Oren.
01:09:12.000 Yeah, no, I'm pushing back on this.
01:09:14.000 Like, no, I don't.
01:09:15.000 You bet he's right within certain.
01:09:17.000 There's a lot of people who do this or getting better overall.
01:09:20.000 The token is.
01:09:21.000 It's a tick that is harmful on the right.
01:09:24.000 It's a token.
01:09:24.000 Because you know what it is?
01:09:26.000 We've deeply internalized being called racist for like 40, 50, 60 years.
01:09:32.000 And there's a certain subset that has not learned the lesson that that's a psyop and you need to stop caring if you get called a racist.
01:09:38.000 Go ahead, Oren.
01:09:39.000 I know what you're saying.
01:09:40.000 I mean, the very people who complained about Candace Owens and said she's responsible for losing this election literally elevated her because she was a black woman, right?
01:09:48.000 Like, that's the reason she became such an incredible career.
01:09:52.000 So, like, we have to be exact. 0.72
01:09:53.000 Mea culpa.
01:09:54.000 All right.
01:09:55.000 Mea culpa.
01:09:57.000 Right.
01:09:57.000 Like, this is deeply baked into what's going on here.
01:10:00.000 And so we have to understand that it's okay to appeal to your actual voters.
01:10:05.000 It's okay to recognize that Christians and, very honestly, white evangelical Christians are your base.
01:10:11.000 They are your core.
01:10:12.000 Of course, you wanted a message that appeals to everyone.
01:10:15.000 If you're running the country properly, if you're offering the correct policies, it's going to benefit everyone in the United States, not just those people.
01:10:23.000 But you have to recognize that that is your core demographic.
01:10:26.000 So let me. 0.55
01:10:26.000 You just turned out. 0.55
01:10:28.000 Go ahead.
01:10:29.000 Yeah, please finish your sentence.
01:10:31.000 Just turned out, if you just turned out four or 5% more white people, if you just focus on getting more evangelical Christians to the polls, you're going to wake way more gains than you're ever going to get by courting the Hindu Indian community or the Jewish community, the black community. 0.58
01:10:48.000 These are not your voters. 0.83
01:10:50.000 They do not show up over and over again for you.
01:10:53.000 Actually, court voters that matter.
01:10:55.000 I mean, that's what I posted on social as well.
01:10:55.000 Yeah.
01:10:59.000 I completely agree with you.
01:11:00.000 You have to shore up.
01:11:02.000 Your base, and that is Protestants, that's Catholics, that's white voters, that's white working class voters. 0.78
01:11:09.000 But let me just play devil's advocate here.
01:11:11.000 So the white share of the population is going down, and more and more, just getting out white voters is not going to work.
01:11:18.000 Are you suggesting we shouldn't do outreach to urban communities?
01:11:22.000 Are you suggesting we shouldn't do outreach to Indians?
01:11:25.000 By the way, Indians are one of the most secure voting blocks for Democrats, to all you tech bro H1B proponents.
01:11:35.000 Square that circle for me. 1.00
01:11:36.000 Well, first, you have to stop the immigration. 1.00
01:11:38.000 You have to stop the H 1Bs. 1.00
01:11:40.000 You have to stop bringing in populations that will not vote for you. 1.00
01:11:43.000 When you see Republicans fighting for the continued entrance of people from India into the country, they are courting their own demise by intentionally importing a group of people who were not going to vote for them. 0.55
01:11:58.000 Now, I don't think that you don't appeal to those people.
01:12:01.000 I think you appeal to them as Americans who are going to ultimately, hopefully, assimilate with the majority population of the United States.
01:12:09.000 Who does have those interests at heart?
01:12:12.000 If you have policies that are good for Americans in general, then you should also be attracting people from other demographics who see themselves as Americans and see themselves benefiting from those policies.
01:12:24.000 I don't think there's anything wrong with ultimately appealing to an urban vote or a minority vote at some level as part of a wider strategy.
01:12:32.000 But when we spend so much of our time, we spend so much of our effort towards those groups, when we denigrate the groups that are more likely to vote for us, as we saw again repeatedly over and over again. 0.95
01:12:43.000 Hey, dumb young white man, why won't you go vote for Vivek Ramaswamy? 0.97
01:12:47.000 Don't you understand if you don't do that, you're a communist? 1.00
01:12:50.000 This is disastrous.
01:12:51.000 That's a disastrous message.
01:12:52.000 Yeah, I think people like.
01:12:54.000 And I think one of the lessons here is that the tokenism on the right has to stop.
01:12:59.000 I completely agree.
01:13:01.000 I've concluded the same.
01:13:02.000 You know, there's been different eras of this, there's been different iterations of this.
01:13:06.000 But at the end of the day, our base are Christians, they're traditionalists, they are white working class voters.
01:13:14.000 And I think you see this.
01:13:16.000 Your point being expressed really well when it comes to Latino men, black men, especially that resonate with the economic populace.
01:13:23.000 Well done.
01:13:24.000 Running your people doesn't actually alienate these groups.
01:13:28.000 Yeah. 0.96
01:13:28.000 Like that's the funniest thing. 0.96
01:13:29.000 Remember, Donald Trump did better with Hispanics than any of those candidates who are running on immigration is an act of love. 0.99
01:13:37.000 We need amnesty.
01:13:38.000 We need tokenism. 0.77
01:13:39.000 Actually, if you just have a good message and a good candidate, it doesn't matter if it's the whitest dude imaginable from New York. 0.87
01:13:45.000 And results. 0.85
01:13:46.000 You need results.
01:13:47.000 And that's what we were.
01:13:48.000 Deeply lacking on both sides of Pennsylvania Avenue.
01:13:52.000 I think that's fair to say.
01:13:54.000 Well, Oren, we're jealous.
01:13:57.000 You get to log off in the free state of Florida, in the one state that blunted the wave, at least some.
01:14:05.000 So, congratulations.
01:14:06.000 You get to be free still, Oren.
01:14:08.000 The rest of us will be waving from afar.
01:14:10.000 Oren McIntyre, host of the Oren McIntyre Shore.
