Trump is the next president of the United States. On Tuesday night, Donald Trump won the election with over 270 electoral college votes to defeat Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) by more than 4 million votes. Megynkelly talks with Piers Morgan and Batya Angersargan about the biggest losers of the election.
00:01:38.240Imagine waking up one day to find out your home no longer belongs to you, that someone somewhere has stolen your property right out from under you.
00:01:47.580It sounds unthinkable, but it is a sad reality for some American homeowners and a risk for anyone that owns property.
00:01:56.200And it's a form of real estate fraud, where scammers leverage loopholes in the system to fraudulently transfer your home's title into their name.
00:02:05.100And then they take out loans against your property or even sell it behind your back.
00:02:08.580By the time you find out, the scammer is long gone, leaving you, the legitimate homeowner, to clean up the mess.
00:02:14.240But right now, triple lock protection is available through HometitleLock.com, offering 24-7 title monitoring, alerts, and restoration services.

00:02:46.140I think I may have died about three days ago, and I basically am floating on adrenaline, testosterone, caffeine, and probably some nicotine.
00:02:53.760That's about the only thing keeping me going.
00:02:55.380I pulled two all-nighters in a row, you know, the day before Election Day and Election Day itself.
00:04:14.900You could see that same shift with the youth vote where, I mean, you know, almost 50 percent of the 18 to 29 demo across the country, but in some places above 50 percent.
00:04:25.540That would have been unheard of before when you look at, you know, some of the individual things.
00:04:30.400Miami-Dade, we won Miami-Dade by 10 points.
00:04:35.840You know, just for perspective, I mean, there is a true seismic shift going on right now.
00:04:41.340And, again, watching the Democrats right now, you know, we really got to go further all in on men playing women's sports to really make sure people understand what we're talking about.
00:05:28.640So take us to the moment when you guys knew he won and your exchange with your dad.
00:05:33.700Yeah, you know, when it was official, we were over at, you know, the convention center.
00:05:39.040We had switched over from Mar-a-Lago, kind of going over to the convention center.
00:05:42.280It's just, you know, an amazing crowd, incredible energy.
00:05:45.240And when they called Pennsylvania sort of like that first of the blue wall, you know, we actually thought they were going to call Wisconsin first based on where the numbers were sort of looking.
00:06:48.080So was there a moment on Tuesday night where like, I don't know, just I'm curious.
00:06:53.260Was it like you go over, you hug each other, it starts sinking in?
00:06:57.600Yeah, I was actually I was with J.D., you know, in his hold area with with my kids and some of their friends.
00:07:04.020And, you know, some of the guys from that team, obviously, I spent a lot of time with them over the last few months, even obviously prior to sort of that selection.
00:07:25.340We look over the TV and you see that you're like, yes, it felt so good.
00:07:31.120Also, just because of the last four years, the hell they've tried to put us through, the weaponization of the DOJ, you know, the weaponization of other agencies, whether it's New York Attorney General's office or the district attorney's office there, all of that stuff.
00:07:44.500The last four years, they've really tried to run us through hell.
00:07:49.880Honestly, it felt so much better than had we actually just won in 2020, especially now that we have the Senate in the House, which we wouldn't have then.
00:07:56.780So we have the ability to do so much more this time around.
00:08:11.140But, you know, to your point, you know, the longer they have to magically find a truckload of ballots that was, you know, filled out in a warehouse out of state.
00:08:18.980You know, I'm definitely concerned about that.
00:08:21.040I mean, I think, you know, as many people, you know, critique this on 2020, talking about that, like, you know, where'd those 15 million Democrat votes go?
00:08:33.620Because there's a chart that's flowing on Twitter, on X, that does show, like, the same general number of Democrat votes in all the elections going back some 20 years, same sort of level on the graph.
00:08:44.320Then you get to 2020, and it's another, it's 15 million higher, to Don's point.
00:08:48.480Then it came back down again, which has, you know, led a lot of people to say, hello, does anyone wonder, like you just raised, that's what you're referencing.
00:08:57.100Yeah, I mean, you know, again, I don't believe that anyone was really all that enthusiastic about Joe Biden in 2020.
00:09:03.580I don't believe that Joe Biden in 2020, in the midst of a pandemic, outperformed Barack Obama solely in Philadelphia, Atlanta, Detroit, you know, like, no one, I don't think anyone seriously believes that, you know, but still underperformed all, you know, 18 of 19 bellwethers, lost them, underperformed all the other counties in the country.
00:09:26.120You know, it, you know, it doesn't pass a smell test to me, if I'm looking at it as a reasonable individual, even from the outside.
00:09:32.500You know, but this one, again, it was so decisive, you know, so that was the thing, I wanted to make sure it was decisive.
00:09:41.500That's why I was doing radio, basically, till the polls closed, just like, get in line, stay in line, vote.
00:09:47.080If you make it decisive, you know, they can't play that game, where all of a sudden it drags out for two weeks, and all of a sudden, you know, we see the three o'clock bump, or the next day bump, or the week later bump.
00:09:57.820That we saw in 2020, and so we were able to do that, and, you know, it was just a great feeling.
00:10:03.140And there were a lot more mail-in ballots in 2020, and that is subject to more manipulation than in-person voting, whether it's in-person early, or in-person on the day of.
00:10:11.440And so I think it was very good for the country that that was minimized, and it should be minimized further.
00:10:16.560You vote, I like vote early, that's fine, you show up in person, same procedure.
00:10:20.460The mail-in balloting, unless you are very elderly, and you can double prove with ID and so on that it's you, we're really in a sketchy territory.
00:10:28.520Okay, you mentioned the number of people coming up to you from different racial backgrounds and so on, not, I was going to say, not your father's Republican Party, but in your case, it actually is your father's Republican Party.
00:10:39.300So the numbers are in, and they're really extraordinary.
00:10:43.500The New York Times pointing out that counties where Hispanics make up more than a quarter of the population collectively shifted 9.5 points to the right.
00:10:56.620The Atlantic has a piece today, I'll just read you a couple of bullets.
00:10:59.560In 2020, Biden won New Jersey by 16 points.
00:11:02.660This time, Harris seems poised to win it by just five.
00:11:05.960Uh, rural Texas border towns where many Hispanic people live, as well as rural Kentucky, where very few Hispanic lives.
00:11:14.720Uh, she ran behind Joe Biden, your dad limited the Democratic margins in all of these places.
00:11:20.340She ran behind Biden in high-income suburbs like Loudoun County, Virginia, and in counties with college towns all over the country, where Penn State is, University of Wisconsin, and others.
00:11:31.420Um, he, your dad improved his margins in some of America's largest metro areas.
00:12:15.320Listen, I think people have seen with their own eyes, right, a lot of, you know, failed Democrat policies.
00:12:22.100The reality is, you know, when I always tell the story on the campaign trail, sort of, I took my kids last summer, two of my boys, we went on a father-son fishing trip.
00:12:32.040It was a 10-year-old, a 14-year-old, and me, and it was 48 bucks.
00:12:36.200And, Megan, I can tell you that if Donald Trump Jr. has sticker shot at McDonald's, it's a serious problem.
00:12:42.660You have that, you see all the wars breaking out all over the world.
00:12:46.560You see that, you know, they can magically find umpteen billion on two seconds notice for Ukraine or for the Middle East, you know, Lebanon, for example.
00:12:55.740But, you know, when a hurricane hits North Carolina, you get a $750 loan and FEMA's nowhere in sight.
00:13:02.480People got sick of the priorities where they were put last.
00:13:06.000I mean, Americans were candidly second-class citizens in their own country.
00:13:08.600If you came across the border, you get $10,000, you get a phone, they put you up in a luxury hotel with a court date sometime, you know, in the next century.
00:13:15.800And Americans were struggling, and they're watching that money.
00:13:33.380And, you know, you cited the Atlantic earlier, but, you know, there was a guy that tried fact-checking me in the Atlantic when I started saying, she's the border czar.
00:13:51.760The sort of mainstream media has lost all their credibility.
00:13:54.860You know, so many people are tuning into, whether it's you, whether it's, you know, perhaps me, although mine's probably a little bit more of a bubble on the right.
00:14:01.600But, you know, the Joe Rogans of the world, all of these people, independent media, you know, and independent journalists, and, you know, they're seeing a totally different picture that's totally discredited to the mainstream media.
00:14:13.880And so as people have more access to that information, it was a big deal.
00:14:18.160And then you also had Kamala Harris, where, you know, everything was so scripted.
00:14:21.660The policy shifted depending on who she was talking to.
00:14:24.100Well, guys like you and Joe were, you know, you're able to point that out.
00:14:27.860When you're running a pro-Hamas ad in Michigan while running a pro-Israel ad in Pennsylvania, like it doesn't take a genius to sort of blend those two ads together.
00:14:37.520You present them to the people and you lose everyone.
00:14:40.980You know, she was a terrible candidate.
00:15:41.160I mean, those are the same people writing those articles.
00:15:43.380I guarantee if you go back six months and for the prior three years to that, those are the same people telling us that Joe Biden is the best Joe Biden he's ever been.
00:15:51.840I mean, Joe Scarborough actually literally said that, like, this is actually a better Joe Biden with all of this experience.
00:16:07.620But then Kamala Harris is out there saying, you know, she was the last person in the room.
00:16:11.780She was the person that then went to you to meet with Russia and Ukraine.
00:16:14.960I guess she only met with Ukraine because she wasn't able to meet with Russia or didn't want to.
00:16:18.520Or, you know, three days later, they invade.
00:16:20.600I mean, you can't take credit for all of the administration's decisions and then run from them.
00:16:25.220And so while I do agree Joe Biden was a disaster, I believe Joe Biden would have actually performed better than Kamala Harris, not because he's necessarily competent, but because people didn't have a visceral dislike of him.
00:16:36.660He's sort of like, you know, you don't kick an old dog.
00:16:40.000Right. It's just a little bit different.
00:16:41.200So, you know, I think this is all on her.
00:17:00.320And, you know, the second it wasn't useful or they saw another path or the path that they thought was better, you know, they kicked him out like a dog.
00:17:06.960So I don't know that he was all that helpful to him.
00:17:09.040But, you know, I would have liked Kamala Harris to be on the campaign trail for like an entire year longer.
00:17:15.160I had to think we'd have we'd probably win every state.
00:17:19.100So, you know, that's what her defenders are saying.
00:17:22.280She didn't have enough time and she did not improve upon acquaintance.
00:18:08.400One of all three of these people who either tried to put your father in prison or were in support of it to now be like, I am I'm the elder statesman and I will help us unite.
00:18:22.960I think Obama's always been an incredibly divisive character.
00:18:25.900I think he is the architect of a lot of the lawfare that we've had to deal with, the weaponization of government against its people and certainly against their political rivals.
00:18:34.220I think he was incredibly helpful to us with African-American men when he was basically browbeating them and, you know, sort of, you know, talking to them like they must do this.
00:18:44.400And if you're not this, you're not a man.
00:18:45.880I don't know that Obama has the qualifications to really try to browbeat men on masculinity.
00:18:49.740But then you saw, you know, even the other day, just less than a week ago, he's out there repeating the Charlottesville hoax as though it's real.
00:19:19.740I'm just glad that the American public finally saw that because I think they realize it.
00:19:24.440And, you know, I know he was trying to probably help Kamala Harris, but I think he probably did as much, if not more damage to her campaign than Joe Biden because the rest of America got it.
00:19:34.560When there's liberal journalists, you know, in the last six, seven months, literally coming out, be like, you know what?
00:19:50.040But when some of the most radical leftist writers in the country are like, OK, maybe we should drop this one because no one's buying it anymore.
00:19:55.700And he's literally selling it to stadiums of people or, you know, as much of a crowd as Kamala Harris could get.
00:20:05.360And I think the rest of the country, whether you agree with our policies or not, they saw that, they realized it, they recognized him for who he actually is now, and they weren't buying it anymore.
00:20:17.280Kamala Harris got out there yesterday.
00:20:19.380And as I pointed out, she did concede.
00:20:22.380She had a lot of her same words, salad, phrases that we've heard for all of her campaign now.
00:22:28.420And, like, we can't get away with the nonsense anymore.
00:22:31.140It's so incredible because when I think of the last four years, I think whether it's there, whether it's the Ukraine, you know, the life that was lost simply because America had no leadership.
00:23:08.040But it's also so disheartening to realize what was lost over the last four years, whether it's the jobs, whether it's our manufacturing, whether it's the life that we've seen, you know, probably close to a million people over in the Ukraine and, you know, tens of thousands in the Middle East.
00:23:26.740So I'm really looking forward to my father getting in there, fixing all of this nonsense.
00:23:32.360It's a shame it had to take this long.
00:23:34.880But I hope the rest of the world sees that.
00:23:37.180And I hope it really changes the way we approach things in the future and especially after a Trump administration.
00:23:43.280What's happening now on the transition?
00:23:47.560Because I know you're getting deluged with people who are raising their hands, wanting this post, wanting that post.
00:23:54.580The reports, and I don't know if they're right, but the reports are that Marco Rubio wants or is being considered for state.
00:24:01.420Tom Cotton wants or is being considered for defense.
00:24:04.540Would RFKJ have an actual cabinet position now that the Republicans are going to control the Senate as opposed to being a non-confirmed czar type guy?
00:24:14.920Like, just tell us what you can about the transition.
00:24:18.480You know, I was actually with RFK yesterday.
00:24:20.960We definitely do want to, you know, honor the promise that we made, make sure that he's involved in whatever capacity sort of he wants.
00:24:26.000And I think you do an incredible job on this stuff as it relates to health.
00:24:28.740I spoke with both Tom Cotton and Marco yesterday.
00:24:31.940You know, I sort of want to make sure that we're surrounding my father with people that are actually going to be helpful, not people who are, you know, unelected that think they know better than what the vision is of the duly elected president of the United States.
00:24:45.220I think that's what frankly scares the swamp so much is that Trump now with knowledge doesn't just trust me that, oh, yeah, I'm on your side.
00:24:52.840I mean, I've also fielded a lot of those calls from people I haven't heard from in four years.
00:25:07.220You know, not all of that information is accurate, but but, you know, we'll get there shortly.
00:25:13.520But, you know, we're going to make sure I'm going to make sure that the people that surround my father are both loyal to him and competent.
00:25:54.240You know, I'd love to let him go, you know, go wild on some of these things or at least like shed some light so the American public understands exactly why we are where we are, exactly why we're so fat, exactly why we're so unhealthy and why it seems like so many people are trying to keep us that way rather than let us be healthy.
00:26:09.760But the Elon thing is incredible because when you have the opportunity, Megan, to put the Einstein of our era into a position like that where he's willing to do it.
00:26:19.220I mean, this guy, you know, in a few years, he's outperforming NASA, who's been doing the space thing for like 75 years.
00:26:25.940In a few years, publicly funded, this guy's catching rockets, you know, that the greatest geniuses in our government.
00:26:31.760I use that term somewhat loosely, you know, are incapable of, you know, I want that guy doing that.
00:26:37.660I want the guy that's literally taken on entire industries and changed the way we look at the world, whether it's communications, whether it's transportation, whether it's the space race.
00:26:46.180I mean, that is, to me, an opportunity, that's a once in a generation, if not once in a lifetime, if not perhaps longer, you know, opportunity to get our country on the right track.
00:26:57.080He said something at the summit I saw him at in September, Elon, about how the amount of red tape he had to go through to get those rockets launched, the permission slips basically from the feds, and said,
00:27:07.680I do think there's something wrong when it takes longer to get the permission slip than it does to build the rocket.
00:27:13.180And so, not only will he be looking for ways to streamline the feds, but to get rid of the constant red tape we all have to go through in everything, and who better than Elon must to do?
00:27:22.440All right, I got to go, but I want to ask you one question before we go.
00:27:26.580Yeah, and that is, when I've been watching your dad over these past couple of months, I see somebody who is, I don't know if it's like wiser.
00:28:01.420But you tell me what you've observed about his state of mind as he goes into this next huge challenge.
00:28:09.020Also, I think, you know, candidly, and by the way, before I even get to the answer, like, I would really appreciate your comments the other night in Michigan.
00:28:28.740You know, the interesting thing, and I've said this from day one, and most people don't see it.
00:28:33.000What's interesting about my father is, and it's perhaps his biggest political liability in a certain way, is that he actually has a lot of empathy.
00:28:41.980You see that come out in the campaign and the story.
00:28:43.780It's like, 32 years ago, Donald Trump did this for me, and, like, we had no idea what was going on.
00:28:47.460Or the people that have worked for him for 40 years, you know, that doesn't happen if you're a dictator, if you're literally Hitler, Megan.
00:28:54.360But he's unwilling to show those things or that side of him because he's, like, of the mindset that, hey, how do I, you know, go negotiate against Putin if he thinks I'm soft?
00:29:03.960You know, it's an old school mentality.
00:29:06.160But I do think, you know, I do think perhaps the assassination attempts, I think there was a little bit more that it brought out perhaps a bit more of a spiritual nature.
00:29:15.940You know, that's way too much coincidence to just be coincidence, right?
00:29:20.440I don't believe in that level of statistical coincidence.
00:29:25.380So, you know, I've noticed that or a willingness to sort of, you know, show what's always been there but something that he hasn't always been willing to show.
00:29:32.900I've seen that, you know, ever since July 13th.
00:29:37.380I see it the way he is, you know, with my kids, his grandchildren.
00:29:41.560He's always been great with them, but it's a little different.
00:29:44.320And I'd love to see, you know, the Democrats do that.
00:29:47.520I hear about them talking about unity, but I'm like these same people that, you know, talked about unity wanted to put me in jail for life or worse, the death penalty.
00:29:56.520And I was like, for things that we all acknowledge now just didn't exist.
00:29:59.940So I always joke, you know, I understand I'm not the upstanding citizen that Hunter Biden is, but I feel like I was treated a little bit differently.
00:30:08.760And I'm looking forward to seeing what your dad does with it when he becomes president and they do the all out of salt again because nobody believes that they're going to try to give him a fair shot.
00:44:52.960I mean, you don't want to hear more about this anymore than I want to talk about this endlessly.
00:45:00.060When something interesting happens, something you may not have heard, something that has struck some memory or perhaps some insight within me,
00:45:39.980Brian Stelter tweets out the following.
00:45:43.640Will there be a journalistic brain drain in D.C.?
00:45:47.320Assumes facts, not in evidence, Stelter.
00:45:49.520A talent agent said, what I have also heard anecdotally, a lot of reporters are questioning if they have it in them to report on another Trump cycle.
00:46:00.060Now, I urge these people to try to get a grip, OK, because I guarantee you there's probably not many who have had the weird, tumultuous history with Trump that some of us have had.
00:46:34.260But you need to work on taking your ego out of your news reporting.
00:46:40.020And remember that the news is not about you.
00:46:46.480It's about them, the voters, the tens of millions of people who got out there and voted for Donald Trump.
00:46:56.820The yes, Latino community, as J-Lo wants to remind us, she's Puerto Rican.
00:47:03.180Not to mention Alec Baldwin's wife, who also wants us to believe that, but she's not.
00:47:08.500And about the white working class and about black men who feel heard for the first time in a long time and don't feel shamed and kind of have had enough of being blamed for everything.
00:47:23.420Let's not forget, remember I told you this was a very telling moment.
00:47:28.020When I went to that event, one of those think tank things on the left, they had me speak.
00:47:34.160I was in the audience next to a black man from Ferguson, Missouri, who had spoken as well about race issues and just how he was sick of these like white saviors trying to come in after George Floyd and try to tell him how to live his life and, you know, offer him a solution.
00:47:51.360So he's listening to Ashley Judd going, going on with her land acknowledgements and how everything is the fault of the patriarchy, the patriarchy, this, the patriarchy, that, and how the amount of abuse she's taken online.
00:48:03.960She was at a basketball game and she tweeted out something about her team and against the other team and she got shit for it.
00:49:00.420These other two definitely don't like Trump and 100% thought he was going to lose.
00:49:04.560They set it up, interestingly, they set it up right after that debate between Trump and Harris.
00:49:11.320And it is true, as you guys remember, that Trump, you know, took every piece of bait she threw for him.
00:49:18.180Remember, it's like she mentioned the crowd sizes and we were all like, stay on immigration, don't do it.
00:49:23.880And he did it and it worked out fine in the end.
00:49:25.940But you remember this and they set it up that his chief pollster, this guy, Tony Fabrizio, who's been with him forever, was bracing for bad news because the media onslaught against Trump.
00:49:38.020You know, he did poorly and he whatever and all the things was going to hurt, he thought, in the polls.
00:49:43.780And that he was shocked because they had almost 70 million people who viewed it, that when he saw in the next round of polls, Trump had lost no ground.
00:49:53.660I've never seen anything like this, Mr. Fabrizio said on a call with senior campaign leaders.
00:49:59.140It was more proof, as if more were needed, that Trump's durability over nearly a decade in politics remained and of his ability to defy the normal laws of gravity.
00:50:11.000Why didn't the left get a reminder of those same principles before they spent the rest of the campaign throwing out crap like Hitler and fascist?
00:50:22.880And like, why didn't they have access to the data Tony Fabrizio did?
00:50:27.800Were they not able to make adjustments in real time as new data came to them?
00:50:55.020I'm not exactly sure how that went down, but this is when they were still on a primary campaign and she was thrilled to be on Team Trump.
00:51:01.720Everyone was buzzing about how talented she was.
00:51:04.900Of course, the biggest challenge to Susie Wiles was Trump himself, right?
00:51:08.480Like, how do you manage a guy like Donald Trump?
00:51:11.300Well, she managed to do it to some extent because he was largely, often, though not always, on message.
00:51:18.360Okay, they talk about how they didn't have as much money as Team Harris, and they realized that they were going to need to run a final ad blitz when they got close to November 5th.
00:51:29.860And they were going to have to decide how to prioritize the dough they did have in their coffers.
00:51:35.080And what they decided to do, as you know, is to abandon a traditional ground game to turn out their voters and instead to rely on a relatively small paid staff buttressed by volunteers and outsiders, including Elon Musk.
00:51:51.400This is so interesting because, as we now know, that worked, but it was necessary.
00:51:58.300I didn't realize it was because they didn't have the dough.
00:52:02.940She had a billion dollars, and Trump wasn't getting that kind of money donated to him.
00:52:07.620So they took a gamble on outsourcing the ground game and using their money for the final ad blitz, and then they get to what the ads did, and that is very interesting.
00:52:19.500They also point out he gambled on mobilizing men, men, men, men, men, men, and it paid off bigly.
00:52:27.060Okay, they talk about for here now Kamala Harris's initial approach and how schizophrenic she was in the messaging against Trump.
00:52:36.020First, she tried minimizing him by mocking him as weird and unserious.
00:52:39.960Think about the fact that that word weird is what got Tim Walz picked, and no one thought to check whether that was a projection.
00:52:47.960Truly, like, didn't anyone, I know it was a short time, like, talk to people who knew Tim Walz to say, is he weird?
00:52:58.900What's, like, why is he putting tampons in the boys' bathrooms?
00:53:02.260Why has he made his state a trans refuge?
00:53:06.540Like, what do people say about this guy?
00:53:13.860No, okay, he got hired, and weird was the opening message.
00:53:17.460Didn't stick, probably because of who he is and who she is.
00:53:21.880Then she switched to a more populist message.
00:53:24.340Trump cared only about his rich friends, and she's going to bring down the price of groceries.
00:53:28.700This isn't in the piece, but then you guys all know, she unleashed that plan, and she started getting hit by the left, by the Washington Post, for sounding like a communist.
00:53:39.740And by the way, while Trump may have, quote, helped his rich friends with the Trump tax cuts, they were universal.
00:53:45.920And when you give tax cuts to the jobs creators, they create more jobs.
00:53:50.560Trump has explained this on his, you know, rally speeches many times.
00:53:55.600If you were in the lower income brackets, you saw a double-digit tax break, which is a far less percentage than the rich people saw.
00:54:01.740Obviously, it's proportional, but that didn't work.
00:54:05.200People understood they were doing better in Trump's four years, and they didn't listen to it.
00:54:08.840Then she finally pivoted again to fascist, and we all saw how that worked out.
00:54:13.400So then they point out some finger-pointing emerged from the wreckage of all this, including over whether Ms. Harris had focused too much on appealing to wayward Republicans or whether Biden had dealt her an unwinnable hand.
00:54:27.240Then they quote, interestingly, David Plouffe.
00:54:31.360He had a podcast with Kellyanne Conway for a short time before the switcheroo, the coup.
00:54:35.620Then he got elevated to go co-run her campaign.
00:54:38.280He helped get Obama elected, and they quote him as saying, we dug out of a deep hole, but not enough.
00:54:44.760We dug out of a deep hole, but not enough.
00:54:46.360Well, that's a dig at Joe Biden, quite clearly justified, but he's now deleted his ex-account, so I don't think it went over well with his people.
00:54:59.440Sometimes that kind of honesty in the New York Times can come back to bite you if you are of the left.
00:55:04.760They write about how, to everyone's amazement, Trump's conviction on 34 felony counts gave him rocket fuel, financial rocket fuel.
00:55:17.840Small donors poured $50 million into his coffers in 24 hours, and then his main super PAC was informed by its bank that someone had made, I didn't know this,
00:55:29.980a different, separate, $50 million wire transfer the day after the conviction.
00:55:36.920But they didn't know who it was, and they had to track that down because we can't take money in these campaigns from foreign sources.
00:55:42.380It can't be like all the Russians, you know, because they'd really like you to come in and side with them.
00:55:47.740So that's so interesting, and I guess eventually it was determined that it was from the reclusive billionaire Timothy Mellon.
00:55:54.140So Timothy Mellon is a good person to have on your side.
00:55:58.220He might give you $50 million if he feels enough empathy for what you've been through.
01:03:04.440And nothing in here explains any of the loss other than that.
01:03:08.900They just talk about the messaging and the dueling political strategies.
01:03:12.340Look, the state of the economy, the state of the border, and the state of the cultural left is what cost the Democrats this race.
01:03:23.640Picking an absolute moron to run against a behemoth, strong leader like Trump was equally stupid.
01:03:32.640And Trump's innate political talents, the best in a generation, required none of those things to be present in order to take him down.
01:03:40.240That's the sum and substance of how this race went south, but it's absolutely delicious to hear more about what was going on on the inside.

01:04:52.900Piers Morgan, host of Piers Morgan Uncensored, is with me now.
01:04:57.240So, Piers, the New York Times takes us through the panic inside Team Harris when Trump unleashed those trans ads showing how far left she was.
01:05:17.780Do you think that's in part why she lost?
01:05:20.260And why do you think the race ended the way it did?
01:05:22.380Yeah, I actually think it's a really significant part of why she lost, because I think on the one hand, she was trying to tell American women, I am the only candidate that will protect women's rights.
01:05:33.700And using abortion as the reason for doing that and the overturning of Roe versus Wade.
01:05:38.780But at the same time, Kamala Harris has been very strongly supportive of allowing trans athletes to compete in women's sport, as has Joe Biden.
01:05:47.800And there is no greater, more unfair or unequal thing in the world than allowing biological males to compete against women in sport, as we saw in the Paris Olympics, where boxers with male chromosomes were literally beating up women in front of our eyes to the extent that one of them quit after 40 seconds of a bout, because she said she'd never been hit that hard in her life.
01:06:13.540And that opponent went on to win gold medal in a women's competition.
01:06:19.680So I just kept saying, I don't really get this.
01:06:21.560How can you be the party that supports women's rights and be the great protector and defender of women's rights, but also support this?
01:06:31.720So I think that a lot of women went, you know what, they're not actually in the corner for us.
01:06:36.660Kamala Harris talks a good game about women's rights.
01:06:39.160But when it comes to it, she's quite happy for biological males to smash our faces in.
01:06:44.580You know, back in the day when I was on the primetime of Fox and you were on the primetime of CNN, a couple of hours after our shows ended, late night comics would come on and they occasionally would make us laugh, Pierce.
01:06:58.160I mean, occasionally they understood that they were in the game of making everyone laugh.
01:07:01.580As you know, they've abandoned that game now and they're just political operatives out there.
01:07:06.080Colbert, Kimmel, Seth Meyers, who I, I mean, I struggled to even mention that guy's name.
01:07:11.140He's such an absolute, absolute prick.
01:08:41.640Honestly, it's so pathetic watching grown men weep, because actually the real reason they're weeping is that they know they've spent years over-demonizing Trump as the new Hitler, and he's going to wreck everything and wreck America.
01:09:03.100America, having already seen Trump as president for four years, and seen four years of what then followed under Biden and Harris, they went out in record numbers, white, black, Latino, men, women, all demographics, and they voted for, apparently, the new Hitler.
01:09:21.660In other words, they didn't believe a word of what these guys were saying.
01:09:24.600And I would say further, Megan, what the hell happened in late night in America?
01:09:28.860When Johnny Carson was the king of late night, nobody knew who he voted for.
01:10:02.600These guys think they're sort of preaching to some weird choir that wants them to be terribly serious and take all this very personally when their guy or woman, in this case, doesn't win an election.
01:16:42.280And it's really kind of hard to extract the virus once it's in your brain.
01:16:46.780Well, I watched AOC giving her views, which are always most entertaining when they've just had another crushing defeat.
01:16:53.100And she was whining away again about Trump and he's a fascist and this.
01:16:56.800And all I thought was, wow, you really haven't got the memo, have you?
01:17:00.640It's people like you that America is now rebelling against.
01:17:04.980It's the way that you think and the way that you talk and the hypocrisy which underpins almost everything that you stand for.
01:17:12.760That is what America is moving away from.
01:17:15.680So to me, the Democrats have got a very straightforward choice.
01:17:18.700They have got to find a more centrist candidate who is actually electable.
01:17:22.640It's interesting to me that Bill Clinton apparently tried to, in that report you were talking about, tried to advise the Democrat leadership.
01:17:29.860Look, you've got to make a stand about this transport issue.
01:17:40.820And they're going to need to find a new version of Bill Clinton.
01:17:43.960If they do that, they can have a chance in four years time.
01:17:47.000If they remain trapped in the mindset of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, then they're going to get another drubbing in four years time, probably from J.D. Vance.
01:17:59.460You know, Republicans won't care if they remain trapped in there.
01:18:02.780But for the sake of America, you would hope that you would have an effective opposition and an effective opponent next time around who actually doesn't alienate most of the country with this woke garbage.
01:18:14.060I mean, it's going to be fun for people like us because the woke mind virus has been deemed by the voters to be politically toxic.
01:18:25.200Either they totally abandon it and we've completely won on this issue, as we should have, or they stick with it and they never win elections again because they're just going to keep repeating the same bad mistakes over and over again.
01:18:46.860There was something so elitist about Kamala Harris's campaign.
01:18:51.780When she started rolling out all the big celebrities, Taylor Swift, Oprah, George Clooney, the usual suspects, we know that playbook didn't work with Hillary Clinton.
01:18:59.760And when you coupled that with the abandonment of the hope and joy message, very quickly morphing into he's the new Hitler, which, again, was exactly what Hillary Clinton's campaign ran on back in 2016.
01:19:18.680And they're rolling out a bunch of multimillionaire, billionaire in some cases, celebrities to anoint them publicly as if somehow the average working American who is really struggling with this cost of living crisis and raging inflation for years to put food on the table for their kids is going to look at this and think, wow.
01:19:37.500So these billionaires say I should vote for Kamala Harris, who can't seem to articulate a single policy which will make my life any better.
01:19:48.000What they actually said was, well, stuff that for a game of soldiers.
01:19:51.240I'm going to go and vote for Trump because last time I checked, he was in a garbage truck and a McDonald's, and he seems to understand what we really care about, which is actually working class stuff like how do we feed our kids?
01:20:03.620And he's going to fix it, hopefully, and he'll stop the mayhem on the border.
01:20:31.140Nobody ever questioned any sane person that he understood the working class.
01:20:34.920I mean, that was why he got elected in 16.
01:20:37.820Billionaire, though he may be, he understands the working class and worked very hard to help them and created 400,000 new manufacturing jobs.
01:20:45.300But who is the big billionaire behind Trump's campaign?
01:20:47.800It was Elon Musk, who's the richest man in the world.
01:21:22.760And when we find efficiencies in government, you know why companies, my brother used to do this.
01:21:26.840You know why they bring in somebody who is an expert on finding efficiencies?
01:21:30.160Because, yes, it could potentially mean that some people lose their jobs, and then those people will move to the private sector if they're in government.
01:21:37.700And Elon's spoken to that, trying to find a good sort of safe road for them to go from one to the other, where they're supported somewhat by the taxpayer.
