Trump's loss to Hillary Clinton in Tuesday night's election is a total disaster for the Republican Party, and Megyn gives her thoughts on why. Plus, Megyn talks about why she's leaving New York City and why she thinks it's a good thing.
00:01:09.400Literally the only good news is how radical the Democrats are and how Mom Donnie will now be the poster child for every Republican to use against his opponent.
00:01:19.620I mean, they'll all have to explain where they stand on Mom Donnie as he wrecks New York.1.00
00:01:25.480But the Republican Party needs to get its shit together.
00:01:30.920I'm really glad we spent the past couple of weeks, as Sean Davis of The Federalist put it, policing some young person's group chat, what a podcast host said, and what the head of a think tank over at Heritage had to say.
00:01:47.820I'm really glad that the Republicans devoted so much time to that.
00:02:56.820That and the matter of, you know, an immigrant invasion that has now given us a radical Muslim running the greatest city in the world into the ground.1.00
00:03:06.900That's where it's going to—he's not only going to be running it, he's going to run it into the ground.
00:03:21.300Our old apartment building, which you could not get into when we first bought there many years ago, more than 10 years ago, now has, like, 50%, almost 50% inventory.
00:04:30.680We spent so much time on the socialism and his radical Islamist ties.
00:04:34.660We didn't even really spend a lot of time on the fact that he's budgeting, he said, $65 million to trans anyone who wants it from in-state or out-of-state, minor or adult, on the taxpayer dime.
00:04:48.420He basically wants New York to be a sanctuary for trans children.
00:04:55.620Last night, his speech, he thanked every foreign nation known to man.
00:05:00.680Like, the Senegalese, whatever, hot dog salesman.
00:05:31.200They actually have to struggle to put food on their tables and worry about their kids in school and going to a school that's safe and one that doesn't have 45 different languages coming from the teachers because of the mandatory immigration laws we have now.
00:06:25.720They're the ones who put New York in this position where we had to choose between a sex pest grandma killer and somebody who appears to love radical Islam.0.95
00:06:38.540And at a minimum, you fucked over New York by staying in the race long before you had any chance.0.98
00:06:43.200He's pulled, what, seven and a half percent.
00:06:44.920The voting's not done, but it's going to be very, very tight.
00:06:47.900It's basically one million for Mom Donnie and one million to Cuomo and Sliwa split.
00:06:55.300But Sliwa got seven percent of the overall vote.
00:06:58.820If he'd gotten out, if he'd said, OK, I'll work with Cuomo, I'll endorse him, I want a place in his administration, it could have gone the other way.
00:12:06.760Because he does not seem to be headed down the path of moderation based on what we saw last night.
00:12:12.080In fact, he went directly, like, that from the super smiley, like, social media guy who used to be a rapper and he's just going to be a mayor for everybody.
00:12:20.920And, like, we can worry about the affordability to, like, the guy who loves the radical Islamist imam.
00:12:29.260That's who he sounded like last night.
00:12:32.380As has so often occurred, the billionaire class has sought to convince those making $30 an hour that their enemies are those earning $20 an hour.
00:12:46.240They can play by the same rules as the rest of us.
00:12:50.300New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant.
00:13:09.820So hear me, President Trump, when I say this.
00:13:14.760To get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us.
00:13:20.300After all, the conventional wisdom would tell you that I am far from the perfect candidate.
00:14:00.660When this group gets together and talks about Israel, talks about Hamas, as important as it is, now it's home.0.96
00:14:12.940And when they took over New York City, which they're about to do in four or five days, the rest of the country gets a heck of a lot easier.
00:17:38.380Here's a guy that was smiling an awful lot.
00:17:41.000He even went back on some of his prior statements, defunding the police.
00:17:45.440All of a sudden, he went from a virulent anti-Semite to a guy that loved the Jews.
00:17:50.260And last night, as soon as he won, as you pointed out, he had that angry, yelling speech like,
00:17:56.740I'm coming to get you if you are a capitalist, if you are a Jew, if you love New York City, I'm coming to get you.0.98
00:18:04.880So, the people that did not vote for Mamdani, which is about half the city, by the way, Megan, a lot of folks, they wake up this morning and they are scared to death.
00:21:10.460And that includes a lot of American Jews.
00:21:12.640Like, it's not that Jews couldn't be critical of Israel, but there's a lot of, like, self-hatred or self-loathing, at least in the vote, in the way they vote.
00:21:20.700In New York, how could Jewish people in New York elect this guy?
00:23:00.580The liberal Jew in America is as dangerous as any group in this country.1.00
00:23:06.160You mentioned the young, like, disaffected person, like the young girl who, whatever, she can't pay her rent, but her parents have got her, so she's not worried.
00:23:15.060Got a great soundbite for you on that front.
00:23:17.820Independent journalist Nick Shirley spoke to one woman about affordability in New York.
00:23:31.440Why do you think so many young people are voting for Zoran?
00:23:33.560Um, I feel like he's the only one that's, like, coming up with, like, plans that young people have been, like, like, plans to help how the situation is in New York right now for young people.
00:23:50.480It's so expensive to live here to even afford, like, to eat.
00:23:57.420You've got some matcha in your hand right here.
00:24:43.600You can be a student, and Sid Rosenberg, who gets up at 3 o'clock in the morning every day, busts his ass every day, has to get to New York City before 5 a.m. every day,
00:24:53.720then takes a train and a ferry to get back to Queens sometime at night.
00:24:57.180Don't worry, because Sid Rosenberg, because A, he's white, which has now become the enemy to America.0.97
00:25:03.080If you're white and you're successful, you're the enemy.1.00
00:25:05.820B, he makes a good living because he works hard.
00:25:09.580So we're at the point now with people like Mamdani and in America, where if you're a hardworking guy, specifically white and successful or female,
00:25:17.960we're going to pay your bill because we have become the enemy.
00:25:21.260How about the number of foreign-born New Yorkers who put him over the top?
00:25:28.540Only, I think it was 34% of those who lived in New York their whole lives voted for Mamdani.
00:25:35.520And the vast majority of people who voted for him and put him over the top were foreign-born New Yorkers who wanted a foreign-born mayor.
00:26:16.160If you're from outside this country and you live in New York and you want to live the dream, the dream used to be, Megan, you get up early in the morning like I do, like you do.
00:26:36.120Watch Spongebob, maybe smoke a joint or two, have yourself a bowl of cereal and a nice lunch, and people like Megan and Sid are going to pay for you.
00:26:45.220So now you can come here from another country and guess what?
00:26:48.780Have the greatest life you can possibly have.
00:26:50.860So we're so diverse already in New York, and it's getting more and more diverse every day.
00:27:09.200John Stossel, dear man, good friend, he does these great online videos, and there are two.
00:27:15.220You should go to his XFeed, the listening audience, and look at the top two on how socialism has worked out in the past in America and elsewhere, and in particular, taxing the rich more to cover these new goodie programs or deficit shortfalls, whatever.
00:27:55.120Already here in Connecticut, you can't get a home.
00:27:57.560In the surrounding suburbs of New York, already they're filling up with expats leaving New York by droves.
00:28:02.840Like I said, my old apartment building is, like, approaching more than one-third empty, approaching one-half empty, which is unheard of, Sid.
00:28:10.300So you've got these promises of freebies that are going to make everybody's lives better, but they're not going to come true because the money base is going to leave, and they never work out.
00:28:19.920And one other point, having just been two summers ago to Scandinavia, we went to Sweden, Norway, and Denmark, which are heavily socialist, right, especially Sweden and Norway.
00:28:46.060No one feels like they can improve their own lives.
00:28:49.220No one feels like there's any innovation that they could come up with or that their country could do, which gives you a sense of national pride.
00:29:47.320So not only are people going to go back to Florida, but it seems like the Floridians and the people in charge, I saw Ron DeSantis last night, they want us.
00:29:56.520So they actually, I guess the number is about 9%.
00:30:00.500They expect about 9%, which is just less than a million people, to go to Florida.
00:30:09.340And you're going to be stuck here with a bunch of people who are not American, with a broke, a broke city, and no answers.1.00
00:30:17.600And Kathy Hochul, she is every bit as bad as any bad mayor has been here.1.00
00:30:22.280She is an absolute horrible governor, right there with Cuomo, you name it.0.93
00:30:27.940Elise Stefanik cannot win that race soon enough.
00:30:30.300And we've got to figure out, if a lease wins, if we've got a lease in Albany, Megan, and we've got Donald Trump in Washington, D.C., and in 2029, you've got me as the mayor, we'll fix New York.
00:30:42.780God willing, I don't think I've been that good a person, but you got my vote, Sid.
00:31:22.660Streaming November 16th on Paramount+.
00:31:25.280Yes, it is the return of Landman, TV's biggest phenomenon from Taylor Sheridan, co-creator of Yellowstone.
00:31:33.380Academy Award winner Billy Bob Thornton is back as Tommy Norris and managing higher stakes than ever before.
00:31:39.320It features an all-star cast, including Academy Award nominees Demi Moore, Andy Garcia, and Sam Elliott.
00:31:46.420In the wake of his former boss's passing, tensions come to a head as Tommy and Demi Moore's character, Cammie Miller, struggle to maintain control of Emtex Oil.
00:31:55.300And with his father, played by Sam Elliott, coming back into his life, Tommy must juggle both of his roles as an oil man and a family man as pressure builds and his worlds collide.
00:32:07.220Do not miss the hit series everyone is talking about.
00:32:10.280Landman's new season starts streaming November 16th only on Paramount+.
00:36:47.680So, I mean, look, I know and I see Republican spinners online and they're smart trying to say this is not your grandfather's Republican Party.
00:37:30.560And when he's on the ballot, MAGA turns out, Democrats turn out, and you have these really close elections, which we've seen in 2016, 2020, and 24.
00:41:17.800Yeah, but what he really got out of it was he emerged as the guy who really has stood up to the president in terms of national politics at this point.
00:41:30.140He had all these other Democrats coming into his state to help him get this done.
00:41:34.840And he got it done – you know, we went back.
00:41:37.380If you look at the polls before when they announced Prop 50, it was not a popular initiative and ended up killing it.
00:41:45.520And something like 80 percent of the people in the exit polls, at least according to NBC, said they voted for it, not because it was good for California, but because it stopped Trump.
00:41:56.640Well, once again, but California is almost 40 percent Republican.
00:43:07.760He sprung this on people so fast, you almost didn't have time to absorb what was going on.
00:43:14.360There are 5.7 million registered Republicans in California and another couple of million who vote Republican, as you pointed out, Megan.
00:43:22.780Now they're going to have four or five congressional representatives.0.99
00:43:25.880I mean, the neighboring state of Arizona has 1.5 million registered Republicans, and they have five, four or five Republican congressmen.
00:43:33.620So what Newsom did and what the California electorate went along with was disenfranchising millions of people, basically not giving them any representation in Washington and claiming they're doing this under the guise of saving democracy.
00:43:51.600I mean, it was a direct response to what happened in Texas with the redistricting there, which was all, I mean, like it was based on race, and they tried to rectify it, but it looked nakedly political, yada, yada, yada.
00:44:06.400We're having the same problem right now on the filibuster, where you remember what happened when Harry Reid was the Senate majority leader.
00:44:16.380He took away the filibuster for lower court judges so that they could get President Obama's judges confirmed.
00:44:22.880And Mitch McConnell, who was the minority leader, said, you will rue the day.
00:44:25.440And then the Republicans took control over Trump, under Trump, and they got rid of the filibuster for Supreme Court judges.
00:44:31.560And that is how Trump got three of his confirmed, three seats on the U.S. Supreme Court, something the Democrats still rue.
00:44:38.420And notwithstanding all of that, President Trump right now is calling for the elimination of the filibuster as a legislative proposition in the U.S. Senate, which would be a watershed moment for America.
00:45:32.660Socialism is a growing problem for the Democratic Party.
00:45:36.980And the more the Democrats embrace socialism with all the horrors that it entails, the crime that will take place in New York City, the abandonment of New York City by the successful, and the taxpayer.
00:45:47.600This is what's going to hurt the Democratic reputation and base going forward.
00:45:52.480It's hollowing out the Democratic Party.
00:45:54.660I would so much rather, even with tonight's bad results, be the Republicans in the big picture than the Democrats.
00:46:01.140I just want to say one thing about that Minneapolis race for mayor, that Omar Fatay and Jacob Fry, the, you know, George Floyd kneeling, mask wearing current mayor, are in a ranked choice voting battle right now.
00:46:17.120Jacob Fry got, I think, 45 and Omar Fatay got 35 percent.
00:47:54.060And I think Republicans have to be clear-eyed about the fact that the economy was the number one issue in both states, in New Jersey and Virginia.
00:48:01.060Inflation, health care was big in Virginia.
00:48:04.520And Democrats were winning those issues.
00:48:07.480And so I think Republicans have to be pretty clear-eyed about what happened last night and what they can do moving forward to put themselves in a position to win.
00:48:34.900Why did the Republicans, same guy, Jack Cittarelli, come within three points of defeating the Democrat opponent he faced four years ago and got trounced by some 15 points today?
00:48:45.740Maybe that's a trend we should pay some attention to before we go into the midterms.
00:48:50.200I mean, as much as you want to make yourself feel better with your comfy white blanket, that it's only, oh, it's like the blue states, that's a very dangerous strategy I'm sure the Democrats would love for these Republican naval gazers to pursue.
00:49:01.960So, this just in, breaking news, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry has been elected to a third term, defeating State Senator Omar Fattah by six percentage points on the second ballot.
00:49:13.180So, literally, as I was saying what I was saying, that crossed the wires.
00:50:01.840I'm going to hold this until the opposite end because I've got another thing I want to run by you.
00:50:06.400But he's got a point, is he not, Carl, that, like, the Republicans, they're going to—we're never going to stop hearing about Mom Donnie.
00:50:12.940But think about, like, the Virginia race.
00:50:14.360If you just went to Abigail Spamburger, who is like a piece of Melba toast, and tried to make her into Mom Donnie, it would not have worked.0.96
00:50:23.840Well, the Democrats didn't have to do anything.
00:50:26.960This is the—she ran this rope-a-dope campaign where it was hard to even know what she believed in.0.99
00:50:32.820And they kept hitting her with these ads about Jay Jones, you know, his fantasies about murdering children.
00:50:44.680They hit her about this 58-year-old sex offender wandering into a girl's locker room and the mother hiding her seven-year-old in a public swimming pool.
01:13:52.540Every other poll was four points or less.
01:13:54.920So the preponderance of the polls, I think our average was about 3.3%, which, again, was right where Cittarelli finished his race last time around, which is why I think people thought that he had a chance to score an upset there.
01:14:09.680At least that was the conventional wisdom, but obviously the polls missed this huge turnout that took place.
01:14:15.500And if you look at the exit polls, 52% of the electorate were women, and they voted for Mikey Sherrill over Cittarelli by 24%, or 24 points.
01:15:17.140And we had all these examples of these white liberals in Virginia that were, the dude who lost his job was calling, you know, telling her to go back to Haiti.
01:33:18.920He said it the other day because Michelle Obama's on this book tour and she continues to complain.
01:33:23.860I mean, you would think this woman had just a horrible life, a really rough time here in the United States of America to listen to her.0.95
01:33:30.420Instead of, she got into Princeton on affirmative action.
01:37:01.560And I'm telling you, nobody's listening to this podcast.
01:37:05.340Maybe there's some hate watching or like some Maureen Callahan calls it rubbernecking.0.54
01:37:09.680As a result of Maureen and yours truly covering Meghan Markle, I think her Netflix show got some rubbernecking views.
01:37:17.020And that's what's happening with Michelle Obama.
01:37:18.400But honestly, like the fact I had to show them, you know, like the unfair people who suggested I didn't love America.
01:37:25.320Tom, that comes from her saying on camera that when her husband was nominated was the first time in her adult life that she was ever proud of her country.
01:37:35.760That's not some right-wing made-up thing.
01:37:41.180Yeah, I was just going to say, I mean, that that that was how a lot of people and that got a lot of publicity, as it probably should have, because that's not how you could say, well, she misspoke.
01:37:54.800But it's like, well, that's not how people normally phrase things.
01:37:58.980It's the first time in my adult life that I'm proud of my country.
01:38:01.820I mean, that's a that's a pretty coherent thought.
01:38:05.760And the other part about her husband, you know, she and her husband sat in the pews and listened to Jeremiah Wright for years.
01:38:16.580He married them, talked about America, you know, chickens coming home to roost and all of that.
01:38:26.000So this stuff didn't just sort of materialize out of nowhere.
01:38:28.760This is not some fiction that was made up.
01:38:30.780Um, and she continues to, I mean, it's, you know, it's like a glass half full or glass half empty.
01:38:38.100I think a lot of people look at Michelle Obama and think, man, your glass is half full.
01:38:41.160I mean, you've lived this amazing life.
01:38:42.660You went from, you listed all the things.
01:38:44.760And now she went from literally no one to one of the most admired people in the world.
01:38:49.580Who's like a multimillionaire with homes in Hawaii and Calorama and all these places, Martha's Vineyard.
01:38:54.180And she's, they, they've lived an amazingly charmed life because of the American people, because people voted her husband into office.
01:39:02.580And she looks at her life and sees the glass half empty and says, man, you know, I've gotten what I've gotten despite because of America and its flaws and racism and all these things.
01:39:17.140I mean, she just looks at it through a completely different lens that I think there's, there's just not a ton of, we always tell our kids, you know, like be grateful, be grateful every day for everything that you have, because there's so many people out there who have so much less than you, who have so much more tragedy in their lives, who have so much more struggles.
01:39:34.480Um, you should always approach everything that happens to you in your life with, with a sense of gratefulness.
01:40:07.980Here she is on higher learning with Rachel Lindsay.
01:40:11.620It pisses me off that people who have not walked in my shoes, who have no idea who really I am as a person, get to tell me how I get to identify myself.
01:41:39.160I think if you see me, you know right away.
01:41:43.360I think you guys are being hard on Michelle Obama and I'll tell you why.
01:41:47.800So she has all these things that you described.
01:41:50.160Fame, fortune, many houses, acclaim, this charm life.
01:41:54.900But there is one thing, and she's talked about it.
01:41:57.220All that is outweighed by she doesn't like how her husband chews his food.
01:42:01.040And so it reminds me, in his great book, Is Sex Necessary, James Thurber describes this man who had this perfect woman, beautiful, sexy, knew how to dress, came from money.
01:42:14.120But he had to break up with her because there was one trait he couldn't forgive, and that is she would use the salutation, howdy, instead of hello.
