00:00:28.340 to ensure your title is still in your name.

00:00:30.480 It is now two days after Election Day.

00:00:33.240 People have been voting in some states since September,

00:00:37.520 and we are still waiting to find out for sure

00:00:41.460 who won control of the House and of the Senate.

00:00:45.380 If you were born before 2017 or so,

00:00:49.180 you will remember a time

00:00:50.880 when America was able to conduct elections in one day.

00:00:54.520 You know, like France or Brazil

00:00:58.380 or every other even quasi-democracy on planet Earth.

00:01:03.460 Apparently, though, that is over now.

00:01:06.120 So we're all just waiting,

00:01:08.340 and we're waiting on three Senate races in particular.

00:01:12.000 Republicans currently have won or held 49 seats.

00:01:16.280 Democrats, 48 seats.

00:01:18.500 In Nevada, the Republican Adam Laxalt

00:01:21.460 is leading by 20,000 votes.

00:01:23.840 It's 49.6% to 47.4%,

00:01:27.960 and that is with 79% of the vote in as of last night.

00:01:31.640 In Georgia, the race between Herschel Walker

00:01:34.240 and Raphael Warnock is essentially tied

00:01:36.720 and headed for a runoff. 0.98

00:01:38.320 And in Arizona, Democrat Mark Kelly

00:01:41.600 is leading Republican Blake Masters

00:01:43.280 with 70% of the vote in,

00:01:45.840 with no sign of when the race will be settled for sure.

00:01:49.160 And on top of that, Arizona's gubernatorial race

00:01:51.480 looks like it could be headed to court.

00:01:54.320 I'm Michael Knowles.

00:01:55.120 This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:02:03.040 Welcome back to the show.

00:02:04.180 My favorite comment yesterday

00:02:05.180 is from CoolPapaJMagic.

00:02:06.600 That guy gets so many of my,

00:02:08.640 and I don't even see their names

00:02:09.740 when I pick the comment.

00:02:10.720 That's very impressive, CoolPapaJMagic.

00:02:13.200 He says, Carrie Lake,

00:02:14.620 they gotta fix this problem.

00:02:16.400 Democrats, you're having issues

00:02:18.220 because the problem has already been fixed.

00:02:20.900 So true, so true.

00:02:22.240 I think people are looking at this thing

00:02:23.340 a little bit backwards sometimes.

00:02:24.980 We know that paper ballots work,

00:02:27.340 so why are we moving to these computers

00:02:29.900 and these machines that sometimes don't work

00:02:32.760 and drag the vote count out for many days and weeks 1.00

00:02:35.260 when there can be more fraud and shit? 0.99

00:02:37.240 Okay, I think I understand it now. 0.99

00:02:38.580 I think I get it.

00:02:39.260 We need to be revved up, okay?

00:02:40.680 We need to be fired up.

00:02:41.960 We need to be peppy.

00:02:42.900 We need to be alert about our elections

00:02:45.440 throughout our entire life.

00:02:47.140 And when you want to be peppy and alert,

00:02:48.300 you got to check out Black Rifle Coffee.

00:02:50.980 Right now, head on over to BlackRifleCoffee.com.

00:02:53.760 Enter promo code Knowles.

00:02:55.140 While today's coffee often comes with hints of soy

00:02:59.000 and just little notes of social justice,

00:03:02.140 Black Rifle delivers an entirely different experience.

00:03:05.140 Bold, strong, and delicious.

00:03:07.880 Black Rifle Coffee is the coffee that I choose

00:03:10.100 to get me through the day.

00:03:14.000 and operated.

00:03:14.900 Their mission is to help service members

00:03:18.960 into entrepreneurship.

00:03:20.740 They provide assistance to veterans

00:03:22.100 who seek to launch businesses of their own

00:03:23.960 with the goal of helping more companies,

00:03:26.040 such as Black Rifle, become a reality.

00:03:29.020 Black Rifle is committed to hiring 10,000 veterans.

00:03:32.420 They're well on their way.

00:03:33.660 As for the coffee itself, because frankly for me,

00:03:36.660 even beyond all the great work Black Rifle does,

00:03:38.820 the coffee, that's what I'm interested in.

00:03:40.360 Black Rifle is very selective

00:03:41.800 about where they source their coffee beans,

00:03:43.620 very disciplined when it comes to ensuring

00:03:45.500 the freshness of every bag.

00:04:11.740 Do you think we're going to get the Arizona election results

00:04:15.140 before or after the next midterm elections?

00:04:19.380 I assume, I'd like to think we'll get it before 2026,

00:04:22.800 but I don't know.

00:04:23.560 It's kind of weird.

00:04:24.980 Don't you think we should be able to count the votes

00:04:26.640 and give Carrie Lake her job relatively soon? 0.99

00:04:31.880 No, maybe not.

00:04:33.140 Not in America anymore.

00:04:34.140 We're not an advanced country like Brazil.

00:04:35.960 You know, we're only the United States of America.

00:04:39.220 Why could we conduct elections?

00:04:41.000 Some of the races do seem truly to be tight,

00:04:44.400 even as they're properly counting all the votes.

00:04:47.160 There's one House race.

00:04:49.120 This would be my friend, Lauren Boebert.

00:04:51.220 Lauren Boebert in Colorado running against Adam Frisch.

00:04:54.440 The race right now is,

00:04:58.680 so Frisch has it technically by 50.01%

00:05:04.440 to Lauren Boebert's 49.99%.

00:05:08.260 The vote count is Frisch 155,579

00:05:13.840 to Boebert 155,506.

00:05:20.080 And by the way, actually,

00:05:21.440 those are the numbers as of last night.

00:05:23.160 I think it's actually tightened up since then.

00:05:26.140 So it was separated by, what, 73 votes.

00:05:29.260 Now I think it's actually 60-something votes.

00:05:31.940 So it's just shockingly, implausibly close.

00:05:37.520 It reminds us that every vote matters.

00:05:40.100 I mean, there have been elections

00:05:41.100 that are decided by 200 votes.

00:05:43.000 And I think that it's easy for Republicans

00:05:45.580 to be depressed and say,

00:05:46.800 oh, the Democrats rig it,

00:05:48.020 and they changed all the voting rules,

00:05:49.480 and they're gonna drag out the count.

00:05:51.240 And in some cases, they don't want poll watchers

00:05:54.280 to pay attention to what's going on.

00:05:56.040 And coincidentally, the voting machines

00:05:57.760 in the conservative precincts break.

00:05:59.240 And it's just easy to get depressed.

00:06:01.520 But that's what they're counting on.

00:06:02.820 They are discouraging Republicans.

00:06:04.580 They don't want us to show up to vote.

00:06:06.480 But if 65 voter, whatever,

00:06:08.780 75 voters in Lauren's district

00:06:12.060 who were Republicans

00:06:13.340 had showed up to vote who didn't,

00:06:16.880 that could have been the difference in the election.

00:06:18.720 We'll see.

00:06:19.440 I mean, there will have to be a recount

00:06:22.400 if we're only talking about 70 or some odd votes.

00:06:26.400 Now, regardless of what happens in that race,

00:06:28.640 I obviously hope Lauren pulls it out. 0.99

00:06:30.240 Joe Biden is signaling now

00:06:31.420 that he thinks that the GOP

00:06:32.840 is going to take the House.

00:06:34.620 And he is intimated

00:06:36.040 that he's willing to work with the House GOP.

00:06:38.440 And the Biden world

00:06:39.860 seems to have accepted that reality.

00:06:41.880 But a lot of people are asking this question,

00:06:43.480 where was the red wave?

00:06:45.360 Where was the red wave

00:06:46.480 that we were all promised,

00:06:47.720 that we saw reflected in all of these polls?

00:06:50.440 Where is it?

00:06:52.200 And it's difficult to work through

00:06:53.700 because the polls are often wrong,

00:06:56.500 but they're almost always wrong

00:06:58.020 in the Democrats' favor.

00:06:59.940 So they almost always oversample Democrats,

00:07:02.460 and they say things are going to go

00:07:03.420 a lot better for the Democrats,

00:07:04.640 and then the Republicans outperform the polls.

00:07:06.900 And that's when we always say,

00:07:08.180 well, don't believe the polls.

00:07:09.520 But it's always in that direction.

00:07:11.340 So what do we make of this here

00:07:13.000 where the polls,

00:07:14.240 so many of the polls,

00:07:16.200 seem to favor the Republicans,

00:07:17.920 and the Republicans underperformed?

00:07:20.640 Well, I think it is important to remember

00:07:22.160 that as you hear people bickering over

00:07:25.460 why the Republicans had such a poor showing

00:07:27.580 and how it's Trump's fault,

00:07:29.580 and no, it's the voter integrity issue fault,

00:07:32.560 and no, it's the this fault,

00:07:33.760 and no, it's the that fault.

00:07:36.740 Don't forget this talk of the red tsunami

00:07:38.920 only really began in the last few weeks.

00:07:41.380 If you were talking about the polls in September,

00:07:44.620 then it was much less clear.

00:07:46.180 And if you were talking about the polls

00:07:47.180 six months ago, it was much less clear.

00:07:49.440 Six months ago, and even back in September,

00:07:51.300 the talk was, yeah,

00:07:52.420 Republicans will probably take the House, 0.74

00:07:54.120 but it's kind of 50-50 on the Senate

00:07:55.940 because it's a tough election map this year

00:07:58.960 for the Republicans.

00:08:01.000 It was only in the last couple of weeks

00:08:03.160 that the pollsters started talking about,

00:08:04.800 no, Republicans are going to take 54 seats,

00:08:06.520 56 seats maybe.

00:08:08.420 But that was not the talk

00:08:09.640 for the vast majority of this campaign.

00:08:11.260 So I'm not trying to help Republicans cope

00:08:15.320 with a disappointing night,

00:08:16.740 but it is important to have some of that perspective.

00:08:19.100 If the Republicans can take the House,

00:08:20.960 and especially if the Republicans can take the Senate,

00:08:23.640 that is a win.

00:08:25.060 That is a big win.

00:08:26.100 You only need 51 or 52 senators there

00:08:28.840 to stop the Biden agenda.

00:08:31.640 And even just taking the House

00:08:32.800 can heavily impede the Biden agenda,

00:08:35.060 though not nearly as much as if we take the Senate.

00:08:37.920 And then it's got to rile us up for next time.

00:08:39.900 I think a lot of the battle

00:08:41.040 over what happened on the midterm election night

00:08:44.060 and even some of the catastrophizing of that

00:08:46.880 is, frankly, a facade for people

00:08:49.660 who are already campaigning for candidates in 2024.

00:08:54.220 It is a warning, though, for Republicans next time.

00:08:58.140 Maybe we need to be wary of the polls, too,

00:09:01.620 just as Democrats need to be wary of the polls.

00:09:03.160 Maybe we need to recognize sometimes the polls

00:09:05.160 will overestimate Republicans' chances.

00:09:08.540 So now the Senate might all come down to Georgia.

00:09:11.460 Depends what happens with Arizona, Masters and Kelly,

00:09:14.060 and then what happens in Nevada with the Laxalt race.

00:09:18.980 But let's say they split it,

00:09:21.180 that Republicans win one, the Democrats win one,

00:09:23.220 which right now seems to be where the numbers are.

00:09:25.280 So then you could be looking once again,

00:09:27.500 just like in 2020, Georgia decides control of the Senate.

00:09:33.160 Now, this is probably not great news

00:09:35.180 to Republicans who remember

00:09:37.140 that last time we had a Georgia runoff

00:09:38.760 with Loeffler and Perdue on the ticket,

00:09:41.060 we lost, and then we lost control of the Senate.

00:09:43.900 I think this is different.

00:09:46.920 So just the facts here.

00:09:49.760 The runoff is gonna take place December 6th.

00:09:52.160 Early voting must begin by November 28th in all counties,

00:09:56.220 but it could begin even a couple days earlier,

00:09:58.780 November 26th or November 27th.

00:10:01.560 Are Republicans going to stay home

00:10:04.760 like they did in 2020,

00:10:05.840 or are they going to get out and vote?

00:10:07.020 I think probably Republicans will get out

00:10:10.360 and vote in this one.

00:10:12.040 And I think the reason for that is

00:10:13.600 that other than whatever the hell's going on in Arizona,

00:10:17.880 the problem of voter fraud

00:10:19.500 doesn't seem to be quite as widespread

00:10:21.540 as it was in 2020.

00:10:23.240 I know, we're not allowed to say

00:10:24.300 that there's any voter fraud

00:10:25.300 or any shenanigans or any rigging,

00:10:26.860 but there obviously was a ton of rigging going on in 2020.

00:10:30.340 And the Democrats admitted that

00:10:31.460 in that longtime magazine article,

00:10:33.000 and they changed all the rules before the race.

00:10:34.640 So I think it was perfectly reasonable

00:10:38.940 for Republicans in Georgia in 2020

00:10:41.440 to feel dispirited and say,

00:10:43.400 screw it, I'm not gonna go vote 0.98

00:10:44.680 because the Democrats are just stealing this thing. 0.99

00:10:47.540 And I know, maybe I'm in the minority

00:10:49.100 of conservative pundits who is willing to say that,

00:10:51.860 but I think it's perfectly understandable

00:10:54.820 why Georgia voters in 2020

00:10:56.780 who saw all of these shenanigans,

00:10:58.820 who saw a complete upending of election laws 0.70

00:11:00.540 over nonsense, over a Chinese cough,

00:11:04.020 would say, you know what, I'm not gonna go vote.

00:11:07.160 But 2022 is different.

00:11:09.380 And this year you saw major Republican gains

00:11:11.640 and you saw the vast majority of election results

00:11:14.860 come in on election night,

00:11:16.560 which greatly, I think,

00:11:18.680 reduces people's skepticism of the election.

00:11:20.800 And so now you have a real race here, okay?

00:11:23.560 And Raphael Warnock is really, really bad.

00:11:26.000 And Herschel Walker will be a reliable

00:11:27.920 Republican conservative vote.

00:11:29.340 And they threw some bad oppo at Herschel in October.

00:11:32.480 The October surprises were tough.

00:11:34.440 And they said he had all sorts of woman problems.

00:11:37.860 And they said that he,

00:11:39.080 they even accused him of paying for an abortion.

00:11:41.340 Again, I'm not totally sure that that happened,

00:11:43.520 but even if it did, you know,

00:11:45.720 you've got a choice here between Raphael Warnock

00:11:47.440 who wants abortion on demand 0.87

00:11:48.620 up until the 17th trimester, you know,

00:11:50.600 and is going to be a rubber stamp vote

00:11:53.020 for the Democrats who want to subsidize that

00:11:55.120 with your taxpayer dollars.

00:11:57.240 Or you got Herschel Walker,

00:11:58.460 who's going to be a reliably pro-life vote.

00:12:02.100 Who are you gonna pick?

00:12:02.720 Obviously, it ought to be Herschel.

00:12:04.140 So we'll see.

00:12:04.700 The problem in Georgia is that

00:12:06.220 Brian Kemp vastly outperformed Herschel Walker,

00:12:09.120 and Kemp won't be on the ballot this time

00:12:10.980 to help bring Walker up.

00:12:12.340 But nevertheless, I mean,

00:12:13.520 if this actually does become the race

00:12:16.260 that determines control of the Senate,

00:12:17.560 I think there is going to be

00:12:18.960 a fair amount of voter enthusiasm,

00:12:20.240 and I think that Republican suppression

00:12:22.480 that comes from the dispiritedness of 2020,

00:12:25.280 I don't think that you are going to see that

00:12:27.000 quite as much this time.

00:12:29.320 So the race, once again, 0.84

00:12:31.620 for control of the Senate

00:12:32.940 is going to go on for another month or so,

00:12:35.620 but Republicans, I think,

00:12:36.720 do have a real shot at it.

00:12:38.200 Now, once that's settled,

00:12:39.440 2024, we are off to the races,

00:12:42.100 and Donald Trump is not holding back his fire.

00:12:46.540 Now, when you want to express your political views

00:12:49.920 in this oppressive kind of culture,

00:12:51.880 you're probably going to want to anonymize yourself.

00:12:54.100 That's why you gotta check out ExpressVPN.

00:12:56.320 Right now, head on over to expressvpn.com slash Knowles.

00:12:59.180 Do you know what big tech

00:13:00.360 and our corrupt big government have in common?

00:13:03.580 They both wanna silence any dissenting voices

00:13:06.040 into submission.

00:13:07.900 Let's say that you're a gun owner,

00:13:09.440 you wanna talk on social media

00:13:10.780 about your right to keep and bear arms,

00:13:12.580 your Second Amendment right.

00:13:13.880 Well, that post will probably be flagged

00:13:15.920 by a content moderator,

00:13:17.620 and you will end up on a government watch list.

00:13:19.860 To fight back against having your voice censored

00:13:22.340 by both big tech and our corrupt big government,

00:13:25.020 I recommend ExpressVPN.

00:13:27.060 Big tech tracks everything you do online.

00:13:29.660 They match your activity to your identity

00:13:31.560 using your device's unique IP address.

00:13:35.040 When I use ExpressVPN,

00:13:36.420 big tech cannot see my IP address,

00:13:38.580 making me virtually anonymous.

00:13:41.640 Plus, ExpressVPN encrypts 100% of my internet data

00:13:45.520 to protect me from hackers and eavesdroppers.

00:13:48.120 ExpressVPN is by far the greatest VPN I've ever tried.

00:13:51.600 You don't need to take my word for it.

00:13:53.040 It's the number one rated VPN by CNET,

00:13:55.560 Business Insider,

00:13:56.520 and countless other tech publications.

00:14:14.720 The midterms are over.

00:14:16.180 We're gonna be counting the votes

00:14:17.080 until we're all long in the tooth,

00:14:18.520 but the midterms are over.

00:14:20.300 So Donald Trump seems to be running

00:14:22.360 full steam ahead 2024,

00:14:24.660 and he is going after his chief rival,

00:14:28.680 Ron DeSantis, real hard.

00:14:32.460 President Trump just gave an interview on News Nation

00:14:35.360 where he explained why he is so offended

00:14:39.100 that Ron DeSantis appears to be running for president.

00:14:42.840 Ron is a person,

00:14:44.080 I've always had a decent relationship with him,

00:14:46.260 but when I endorsed him, he was gone.

00:14:49.020 He was not gonna be able to even be a factor in the race.

00:14:51.600 And as soon as I endorsed him, within moments,

00:14:54.900 he, the race was over.

00:14:56.460 I got him the nomination.

00:14:57.780 He didn't get it, I got it.

00:14:58.860 Because the minute I made that endorsement, he got it.

00:15:01.660 Then he ran, and he wasn't supposed to be able to win.

00:15:04.800 I did two rallies.

00:15:05.820 We had 52,000 people each one,

00:15:09.240 and we ended up, he won.

00:15:12.440 And I thought that he could have been more gracious,

00:15:15.320 but that's up to him.

00:15:17.340 I like that at the end.

00:15:19.300 He says, I'm entirely responsible for Ron DeSantis,

00:15:21.680 as his political career, okay?

00:15:22.920 The guy's nothing without me.

00:15:24.380 And so listen,

00:15:25.900 I thought he should be a little bit gracious, okay?

00:15:28.160 But hey, look, all right,

00:15:29.500 I'm not saying anything here.

00:15:31.200 And this answer from Trump is a very good answer

00:15:34.580 to the chief anti-Trump attack right now,

00:15:38.000 which is that in these midterm elections, 0.99

00:15:40.220 the Trump picks in the primaries were total losers. 0.94

00:15:45.280 Trump has terrible picks in the primaries. 0.96

00:15:47.560 And Trump's answer to that is,

00:15:50.140 hey, guys, DeSantis was one of my primary picks.

00:15:54.460 So if the argument is,

00:15:55.680 Trump's picks in the primaries are terrible,

00:15:57.480 and maybe Ron DeSantis's would be better,

00:15:59.260 he says, oh, yeah?

00:16:00.400 Hey, guess who one of my most prominent primary picks was?

00:16:04.300 Ron DeSantis.

00:16:05.260 Thank you very much.

00:16:06.180 So that's his argument here.

00:16:08.900 Then he's taking to Truth Social.

00:16:10.720 He's not taking to Twitter.

00:16:11.660 He's not on Twitter anymore.

00:16:12.860 But he's taking to Truth Social,

00:16:14.280 and he says,

00:16:15.300 now that the election in Florida is over

00:16:16.580 and everything went quite well,

00:16:18.000 shouldn't it be said that in 2020,

00:16:19.380 I got 1.1 million more votes in Florida

00:16:21.480 than Ron DeSantis got this year,

00:16:22.860 5.7 million to 4.6 million?

00:16:24.980 He goes, just asking.

00:16:27.200 He's like, you know,

00:16:28.400 it's not really comparable

00:16:29.620 because presidential election years,

00:16:32.160 more people show up to vote

00:16:33.320 than in the midterm elections.

00:16:35.100 But look, I don't think it's a great look for Trump.

00:16:39.000 I think it makes it look like he is insecure

00:16:41.040 about his ability to win the nomination.

00:16:44.440 Ron DeSantis did not attack him first

00:16:46.480 and is not attacking him back.

00:16:48.200 If DeSantis were attacking Trump,

00:16:49.980 then I think it would be probably all right for him.

00:16:52.080 But the fact that DeSantis is not attacking him,

00:16:54.160 it doesn't look great for Donald Trump.

00:16:55.940 But I tell you, as always,

00:16:58.920 the reaction to Trump's statements and tweets

00:17:04.560 or fake tweets here now,

00:17:05.860 the truth social tweets,

00:17:07.440 I think a lot of it depends on the tone

00:17:10.620 in which you hear him.

00:17:15.200 So, for instance, some of the big headlines are,

00:17:17.460 if you read that truth social tweet as,

00:17:21.180 I did much better than Ron DeSantis.

00:17:23.280 I got 1.1 million.

00:17:25.580 He got 1.1 million more votes.

00:17:28.240 He only got 4.6 million.

00:17:30.180 I got 5.7 million.

00:17:31.560 Hmm?

00:17:32.480 Right, if you just read it like that,

00:17:33.640 then it seems kind of petulant and annoying.

00:17:35.860 But if you read it as,

00:17:37.720 hey, how come nobody's talking about this?

00:17:39.840 You know, I did a lot better.

00:17:41.000 I'm just asking, you know,

00:17:42.280 if you read it as a joke,

00:17:43.900 it's much funnier, obviously.

00:17:46.500 And it reads much differently.

00:17:48.620 I'll give you a better example of this.

00:17:50.700 There was a big headline where it said,

00:17:52.900 Donald Trump says,

00:17:54.120 if candidates win in the midterms,

00:17:57.240 then he deserves all the credit.

00:17:59.440 But if the candidates lose,

00:18:01.140 he deserves none of the blame.

00:18:02.740 Can you believe this?

00:18:03.920 Do you believe this, Donald Trump?

00:18:05.480 And so I read that headline,

00:18:07.120 and I said, what did he actually say?

00:18:08.460 I went to the clip.

00:18:09.360 Here's what he said.

00:18:10.840 You've endorsed more than 330 candidates

00:18:14.080 this election cycle.

00:18:16.000 Tonight, win or lose,

00:18:17.520 the results for Republicans.

00:18:20.380 How much of that will be

00:18:21.840 because of Donald Trump?

00:18:23.920 Well, I think if they win,

00:18:25.580 I should get all the credit.

00:18:26.940 And if they lose,

00:18:27.880 I should not be blamed at all.

00:18:29.380 OK, but it'll probably be

00:18:30.980 just the opposite.

00:18:32.660 When they win,

00:18:33.500 I think they're going to do very well.

00:18:34.800 I'll probably be given

00:18:35.780 very little credit,

00:18:36.720 even though in many cases,

00:18:38.280 I told people to run

00:18:39.420 and they ran and they turned out

00:18:41.200 to be very good candidates.

00:18:42.380 You know, they've turned out

00:18:43.060 to be very good candidates.

00:18:44.800 But usually what would happen is

00:18:46.620 when they do well,

00:18:47.680 I won't be given any credit.

00:18:49.200 And if they do badly,

00:18:50.700 they will blame everything in me.

00:18:51.960 So I'm prepared for anything,

00:18:53.560 but we'll defend ourselves.

00:18:54.980 So it's the same words

00:18:56.600 that you're reading in the headline,

00:18:58.200 but it's a completely different tone.

00:18:59.880 And if you're watching it on TV,

00:19:01.560 you can see that as Trump's saying that,

00:19:03.060 he's got a little smirk.

00:19:04.900 He says, oh, what's my take

00:19:05.860 on the midterms?

00:19:06.980 Here's what I think should happen.

00:19:08.560 If they win,

00:19:09.160 I should get all the credit.

00:19:10.440 And if they lose,

00:19:11.100 I shouldn't get any of the blame.

00:19:12.380 You know it's going to be the opposite.

00:19:13.940 But listen,

00:19:14.520 my preference would be that.

00:19:15.560 And he's joking.

00:19:16.980 He's joking.

00:19:17.580 It's a joke.

00:19:18.400 Okay.

00:19:19.000 And I remember this in 2016.

00:19:21.520 My friends who were the most irritated by Trump

00:19:25.920 and who just were the most befuddled by Trump

00:19:29.380 are the ones who are not from New York,

00:19:32.360 have never lived in New York,

00:19:33.500 and don't know a lot of New Yorkers.

00:19:36.720 And the people who kind of laughed at Trump

00:19:39.300 or shrugged him off

00:19:40.120 or got a kick out of him

00:19:41.000 tended to be the New Yorkers

00:19:43.500 or people who have spent time in New York.

00:19:45.260 Okay.

00:19:45.420 This is it.

00:19:46.720 Donald Trump

00:19:47.600 is at his core

00:19:50.100 a New Yorker.

00:19:52.100 Okay.

00:19:52.640 And New Yorkers

00:19:53.980 make jokes

00:19:55.280 and they're brash

00:19:56.640 and they use hyperbole

00:19:58.080 and they speak with their hands

00:19:59.480 like I am doing right now

00:20:00.520 and like Donald Trump does.

00:20:02.060 And

00:20:02.500 they

00:20:03.460 bust people's

00:20:05.020 gulions

00:20:05.480 and

00:20:06.360 they

00:20:06.960 hit people

00:20:08.440 and they just,

00:20:09.380 you know,

00:20:09.600 it's just the way

00:20:10.480 that they are.

00:20:11.520 Okay.

00:20:11.820 And so

00:20:12.120 this is going to keep up

00:20:15.220 because Donald Trump

00:20:16.820 seriously wants

00:20:18.020 to be president.

00:20:18.740 I think

00:20:19.400 Donald Trump

00:20:20.700 rightly understands

00:20:21.640 that Ron DeSantis

00:20:22.420 is his chief

00:20:23.860 rival

00:20:25.060 in 2024.

00:20:26.480 And so he's going to keep

00:20:27.380 dinging him.

00:20:28.160 He's going to keep dinging him.

00:20:29.300 Now this might,

00:20:29.960 this might just turn people off.

00:20:31.380 I've

00:20:31.620 been following a lot of the commentary

00:20:33.360 on this

00:20:33.980 and a lot of people are saying,

00:20:35.100 look, I love Trump.

00:20:35.740 I voted for him twice,

00:20:36.740 but enough.

00:20:37.240 Don't hit,

00:20:37.900 why are you going to hit

00:20:38.660 this good Republican governor

00:20:39.820 down in Florida

00:20:40.500 who's doing great stuff?

00:20:41.540 Come on,

00:20:41.980 man,

00:20:42.240 it's two years away.

00:20:43.560 Chill out.

00:20:44.340 But Donald Trump,

00:20:45.340 he is who he is.

00:20:46.500 He is a New Yorker.

00:20:47.960 He is brash.

00:20:49.180 He's bold.

00:20:49.940 He hits.

00:20:50.480 He fights.

00:20:50.900 And so that is,

00:20:51.780 that is just going to happen.

00:20:53.420 That is just baked in.

00:20:54.720 The presidential race

00:20:55.600 is on.

00:20:56.280 We're not done counting

00:20:57.120 the votes for 2022,

00:20:58.400 but the race is on.

00:21:00.020 Okay.

00:21:00.520 And

00:21:00.920 for the people who are saying

00:21:02.780 Trump shouldn't hit DeSantis,

00:21:04.140 give me a break.

00:21:04.740 Okay.

00:21:04.960 Trump is who he is.

00:21:05.700 It's a presidential contest.

00:21:07.100 He's going to do it.

00:21:08.380 And for Donald Trump,

00:21:09.800 by the way,

00:21:10.200 who says,

00:21:10.860 Ron DeSantis shouldn't run

00:21:12.120 against me.

00:21:12.920 I made him.

00:21:13.760 He should be gracious.

00:21:14.760 Okay.

00:21:14.980 Give me a break.

00:21:15.700 All right.

00:21:15.940 That's insane.

00:21:16.540 This is politics.

00:21:17.440 We're talking about

00:21:17.960 the highest office in the land.

00:21:19.340 This is the time

00:21:20.140 that Ron DeSantis

00:21:20.740 probably has to run

00:21:21.900 if he wants it.

00:21:23.460 The way the cycles fall,

00:21:24.920 next time,

00:21:25.500 he's probably going to be

00:21:26.380 yesterday's news.

00:21:27.280 And in politics,

00:21:28.340 as in comedy,

00:21:29.520 timing is everything.

00:21:30.760 So he's going to run.

00:21:31.600 I don't think that he's a bad man

00:21:34.660 for running against Trump

00:21:35.760 who helped him win his first race.

00:21:37.760 And frankly,

00:21:38.440 I don't think Trump is a bad man

00:21:39.680 for trying to get his old job back

00:21:41.880 and for running,

00:21:43.300 especially when he's this high up

00:21:44.400 in the polls.

00:21:45.320 This is politics.

00:21:46.740 Politics is a really tough,

00:21:48.760 brutal business.

00:21:49.920 And the guys who do well in it

00:21:51.160 are really tough guys

00:21:52.700 who can take a punch.

00:21:53.900 I think DeSantis can take a punch. 0.92

00:21:55.400 I think Trump can take a punch. 0.89

00:21:56.740 They can both throw them as well.

00:21:58.120 And starting most likely next Tuesday

00:22:00.580 with that announcement at Mar-a-Lago.

00:22:02.660 Trump could surprise us

00:22:03.760 and not announce,

00:22:04.560 but all the signs are pointing

00:22:06.900 to him announcing a run.

00:22:08.320 That means 2024 is off to the races.

00:22:11.360 Now, on the Democrat side for 2024,

00:22:15.220 a lot of people saying Biden can't run.

00:22:16.960 He's just so exhausted.

00:22:18.860 He's so confused.

00:22:20.280 He can barely form an English sentence.

00:22:22.660 So you're going to need a new candidate.

00:22:25.260 And who's the candidate

00:22:26.160 that they're proposing

00:22:26.900 to fix all of those problems

00:22:29.480 about Joe Biden?

00:22:32.360 John Fetterman, of course.

00:22:34.500 Fetterman as a nominee

00:22:36.220 at some point for president.

00:22:39.220 I know there's some variables, obviously.

00:22:41.900 Just a few.

00:22:42.400 Just a few.

00:22:43.540 But I just, you know,

00:22:44.820 what he did in the super red,

00:22:48.240 deep red parts of Pennsylvania

00:22:49.560 and the way that he ran ahead of Biden,

00:22:51.300 as you were saying,

00:22:51.960 ran ahead of Trump.

00:22:52.800 I mean, it just makes you wonder

00:22:54.260 about his future.

00:22:57.760 Makes you wonder about his future.

00:22:59.840 I mean, John Fetterman,

00:23:02.120 his entire political experience

00:23:03.740 is being the mayor of a town

00:23:06.580 of 1,800 people

00:23:07.780 and briefly being a lieutenant governor

00:23:09.640 and now having just been elected

00:23:11.260 to the Senate after not campaigning

00:23:12.960 because he can't speak

00:23:14.060 because he's a very, very ill man

00:23:16.020 with extremely radical ideas.

00:23:18.860 So he should be president, right?

00:23:21.940 Maybe he should.

00:23:22.740 He's probably going to be in the Senate

00:23:23.640 about as long as Obama was.

00:23:25.060 He's got exactly as many

00:23:26.340 political achievements under his belt

00:23:27.740 as Barack Obama did.

00:23:28.760 So maybe.

00:23:30.300 It's not the craziest idea.

00:23:32.440 From the beginning,

00:23:33.800 the health attack on Fetterman

00:23:35.340 was a loser attack. 0.78

00:23:37.560 And it was a loser attack, 0.96

00:23:38.560 one, because it seems kind of ugly. 0.93

00:23:40.220 You know, you don't want to make fun

00:23:41.060 of people for having a stroke. 0.98

00:23:42.120 But two, it's a loser attack 0.72

00:23:44.180 because no one really cares

00:23:45.460 because the job of senator

00:23:47.860 is not what it once was.

00:23:50.120 We used to have active senators

00:23:51.400 who would cross party lines

00:23:53.720 and who were very involved

00:23:55.400 in foreign policy even

00:23:56.900 and who were involved

00:23:58.600 in lots of oversight

00:23:59.660 and who would pass

00:24:00.640 a lot of legislation.

00:24:01.660 That's kind of over.

00:24:03.060 The legislature doesn't really

00:24:04.820 do most of the legislation.

00:24:06.480 Most of the actual legislation

00:24:07.580 at this point

00:24:08.100 is just pumped out

00:24:10.140 by the federal bureaucracy,

00:24:11.240 which is under

00:24:11.820 the executive branch.

00:24:13.200 So the senators, 0.88

00:24:14.980 especially as we move more

00:24:15.980 toward a kind of

00:24:16.760 parliamentary style system

00:24:18.220 where the parties

00:24:19.080 are very clearly defined

00:24:20.380 and the individual senators

00:24:22.080 are just kind of rubber stamps

00:24:23.480 for party leadership,

00:24:24.920 just doesn't really matter.

00:24:26.560 And frankly,

00:24:27.260 I think the same principle

00:24:28.200 is true for the president.

00:24:29.620 I don't know that it matters

00:24:31.020 all that much

00:24:32.220 who the president is

00:24:34.040 if the president is incapacitated,

00:24:36.100 as he is right now,

00:24:37.200 by the way.

00:24:37.820 People are saying,

00:24:38.780 well, Fetterman can't be president.

00:24:40.260 And his brain isn't working

00:24:41.440 all that well.

00:24:43.180 Yeah.

00:24:43.840 Tell me more about that.

00:24:45.680 Because the machine of government

00:24:48.720 just kind of rolls on

00:24:50.300 as our government

00:24:51.180 throughout the 20th century

00:24:52.100 became more of a technocracy.

00:24:54.880 Then the legislators

00:24:56.980 and even the president

00:24:58.080 mattered less and less.

00:24:59.420 You think Fetterman 2024 is crazy?

00:25:02.520 I don't think you've seen crazy yet.

00:25:04.320 I think things are going to get

00:25:05.180 a whole lot crazier

00:25:06.080 than we're looking at right now.

00:25:07.400 And that's why

00:25:08.280 in these periods

00:25:09.120 of craziness and chaos,

00:25:10.440 you're going to want

00:25:11.360 some pretty solid assets.

00:25:17.920 Inflation continues

00:25:19.040 to plague our economy.

00:25:20.300 The Daily Wire reports

00:25:21.300 that in less than two years,

00:25:22.660 inflation has soared

00:25:23.480 from 1.4% to 8.6%.

00:25:26.060 As of May 2022,

00:25:27.980 the price of gas

00:25:28.800 was up nearly 49%.

00:25:30.960 The price of meat,

00:25:32.140 poultry,

00:25:32.420 and fish

00:25:32.980 was up 14.2%.

00:25:34.400 And the price of used cars

00:25:36.680 was up 16%.

00:25:38.660 The current administration's

00:25:40.420 irresponsible spending patterns,

00:25:42.460 including Joe Biden's

00:25:43.500 $1.9 trillion rescue plan,

00:25:46.200 continue to exacerbate the problem.

00:26:39.220 Speaking of insane choices

00:26:41.360 in elections,

00:26:43.400 we've talked a lot

00:26:45.480 about the Georgia Senate race,

00:26:46.960 the Arizona Senate race,

00:26:48.860 2024 presidential contest.

00:26:50.700 We haven't talked a ton

00:26:51.920 about the New Hampshire

00:26:54.860 Miss America contests, okay?

00:26:57.800 And we haven't talked

00:26:59.120 in particular about

00:27:00.180 Brian Noyan.

00:27:02.860 Brian Noyan,

00:27:04.380 who is the first man

00:27:06.100 to win the

00:27:08.300 Miss Greater Dairy

00:27:10.340 2023 competition.

00:27:15.900 Your new Miss Greater Dairy

00:27:18.000 is Brian Noyan.

00:27:20.180 And you see him

00:27:21.640 in his dress

00:27:23.340 and all the poor little

00:27:24.980 cute blonde girls 0.99

00:27:26.260 or they have to pretend

00:27:27.720 to be happy behind him.

00:27:29.600 And then he,

00:27:30.480 who is a,

00:27:31.840 for those of you

00:27:32.420 who are not watching right now,

00:27:33.500 for those of you

00:27:33.840 who are only listening,

00:27:35.400 this man is,

00:27:38.720 I don't want to be mean

00:27:40.200 to the guy.

00:27:41.500 He,

00:27:42.280 there's a lot of

00:27:44.060 pretty little blonde girls 1.00

00:27:45.100 around him

00:27:45.860 who look like,

00:27:47.200 you know,

00:27:47.440 young blonde girls. 0.98

00:27:48.520 And then there's this

00:27:49.380 more corpulent guy,

00:27:53.660 a little,

00:27:54.040 he just looks more like a man 0.98

00:27:55.380 and he's bigger

00:27:57.640 and he's just bigger,

00:27:58.820 okay?

00:27:59.160 And he is,

00:28:00.080 he wouldn't have gotten

00:28:03.300 my vote for Miss Greater Dairy. 1.00

00:28:05.220 I'm not on the

00:28:06.720 electoral commission

00:28:07.860 for this contest,

00:28:08.860 but it's absurd.

00:28:14.180 How did he win?

00:28:17.040 Even if he were a woman, 0.99

00:28:19.780 it would not make sense

00:28:21.540 for him to win

00:28:23.300 this beauty contest,

00:28:24.500 okay?

00:28:25.480 He probably has many

00:28:26.480 other virtues and talents,

00:28:28.020 but this would not,

00:28:29.320 he should not win.

00:28:30.400 So why?

00:28:32.760 Why?

00:28:33.560 They have to do it.

00:28:35.300 They have to do it.

00:28:36.280 Because the left,

00:28:38.200 we know,

00:28:38.440 hates truth

00:28:39.120 and the left,

00:28:40.040 we know,

00:28:40.400 hates goodness

00:28:41.040 and the left

00:28:42.260 also hates that third 0.99

00:28:43.700 transcendental,

00:28:44.960 hates beauty.

00:28:46.160 That's why the leftists

00:28:47.080 all over the world

00:28:47.740 are throwing soup

00:28:48.720 on famous,

00:28:50.500 beautiful paintings.

00:28:51.760 That's why they attack

00:28:53.040 beautiful buildings

00:28:54.080 and beautiful architecture

00:28:54.980 and they try to burn

00:28:56.620 these things to the ground.

00:28:57.820 The left hates beauty

00:28:59.060 and so the left

00:28:59.620 has to redefine

00:29:00.940 truth as falsehood

00:29:01.940 and goodness as evil

00:29:03.160 and beauty

00:29:04.120 as grotesquerie.

00:29:07.220 And that is what

00:29:08.280 they're doing.

00:29:11.580 This is why now

00:29:12.540 when you see billboards

00:29:13.580 for clothing,

00:29:14.440 it used to be

00:29:15.120 you'd go in magazines

00:29:16.460 and you'd see on billboards

00:29:17.600 for clothing companies,

00:29:18.600 you'd have these

00:29:18.900 beautiful models,

00:29:20.480 you know,

00:29:20.980 Christy Brinkley,

00:29:22.180 right?

00:29:22.440 Heidi Klum,

00:29:23.560 oh my God,

00:29:24.680 Tyra Banks,

00:29:25.560 you know,

00:29:25.640 these really beautiful

00:29:26.320 people.

00:29:27.820 Now you don't see

00:29:28.820 those people

00:29:29.200 on the billboards

00:29:29.840 and in the magazines.

00:29:30.620 You see big,

00:29:34.460 ugly, 0.97

00:29:35.300 mutilated people 1.00

00:29:37.160 who make themselves 0.99

00:29:39.320 look uglier 0.84

00:29:40.040 than they otherwise would, 0.96

00:29:41.700 who contort themselves

00:29:43.120 and that's,

00:29:45.000 they call it positivity.

00:29:46.460 It's not positivity.

00:29:47.920 It's an inversion

00:29:50.180 of standards

00:29:51.000 to reorder

00:29:52.120 all of society.

00:29:53.880 That's what

00:29:54.260 they're really after.

00:29:55.760 It's part of the

00:29:56.460 exact same attack

00:29:57.380 on truth

00:29:57.920 and goodness

00:29:58.820 that we see

00:29:59.560 everywhere.

00:30:00.520 They have to do it.

00:30:02.940 And the saddest part of it,

00:30:05.140 the most sort of

00:30:05.700 Stalin-esque

00:30:06.580 totalitarian part of it,

00:30:08.040 is those poor little girls 1.00

00:30:09.040 in the background

00:30:09.700 who,

00:30:10.160 one of whom

00:30:10.720 should have won the contest,

00:30:12.040 they have to applaud

00:30:12.980 and they have to smile

00:30:14.360 and they have to say,

00:30:14.900 oh, this is so great

00:30:15.760 that this big dude

00:30:17.700 won the girls' 0.95

00:30:19.540 beauty pageant.

00:30:20.420 We ha ha ha.

00:30:21.360 Just like all those girls 1.00

00:30:22.540 on the swim team

00:30:23.320 at UPenn

00:30:24.020 have to smile

00:30:25.340 and applaud

00:30:25.960 when that big dude,

00:30:27.360 Will Thomas,

00:30:28.020 who calls himself Leah,

00:30:29.620 takes all of their trophies.

00:30:30.940 They have to do it

00:30:32.020 because if they do not

00:30:33.360 affirm

00:30:35.160 this absurd

00:30:36.960 dominant regime,

00:30:39.180 they will be exiled.

00:30:40.360 They will be ostracized.

00:30:41.360 They'll be called

00:30:41.780 awful phobic,

00:30:42.800 terrible people. 0.99

00:30:43.320 So they have to do it too.

00:30:44.440 And you're supposed to do it too.

00:30:45.560 And I'm supposed to do it too.

00:30:47.360 And I don't.

00:30:48.280 And then they take

00:30:48.760 some of my shows

00:30:49.360 off YouTube

00:30:49.820 and don't invite me

00:30:51.580 to the nice fancy parties

00:30:53.020 and things like that.

00:30:53.960 But it's a total

00:30:57.800 kind of ideology.

00:30:59.780 It's everywhere.

00:31:00.680 It's not just Joe Biden

00:31:02.260 and that fellow

00:31:03.480 Richard Levine,

00:31:05.000 the assistant health secretary.

00:31:06.040 It's not just them

00:31:07.000 from the official

00:31:08.040 government posts

00:31:09.000 who are pushing

00:31:10.820 the trans ideology.

00:31:11.760 It's everywhere.

00:31:12.620 It's all the way down

00:31:13.340 to the little

00:31:13.760 teen beauty pageant

00:31:14.680 in Miss Greater Dairy

00:31:16.900 2023.

00:31:18.220 The drag stuff 0.98

00:31:20.900 is now

00:31:22.680 a sort of

00:31:23.900 religious right

00:31:24.940 for public life.

00:31:27.080 And this is why

00:31:27.600 you're seeing

00:31:27.880 all the politicians do it.

00:31:29.880 Justin Trudeau

00:31:30.700 has just become

00:31:31.260 the latest prominent

00:31:32.200 politician

00:31:33.060 to go on

00:31:34.360 a drag race

00:31:35.680 TV show.

00:31:38.160 Who's ready

00:31:39.060 for world domination?

00:31:41.040 Please help me

00:31:42.080 welcome

00:31:42.560 the Prime Minister

00:31:43.660 of Canada,

00:31:45.080 Justin Trudeau!

00:31:46.300 This one is about

00:31:48.640 to go down

00:31:49.280 in her story.

00:31:50.160 My jaw

00:31:51.200 just dropped.

00:31:53.400 The most shocking

00:31:54.640 thing about this clip

00:31:55.860 is how ordinary

00:31:56.680 it is now.

00:31:58.740 You would have thought

00:31:59.900 two years ago

00:32:00.840 if a major politician

00:32:02.120 goes on

00:32:03.040 to a drag queen show,

00:32:04.380 that's a shocking thing.

00:32:05.540 Wow, isn't that

00:32:06.200 so crazy?

00:32:08.280 Trudeau's the third

00:32:09.140 guy to do it.

00:32:11.140 First you had

00:32:12.220 Nancy Pelosi.

00:32:14.060 She went on

00:32:14.640 one of the

00:32:15.040 American drag queen show.

00:32:16.300 And then AOC

00:32:17.700 went on the exact

00:32:18.600 same drag queen show.

00:32:20.200 And now

00:32:20.960 Justin Trudeau

00:32:22.020 up in America's

00:32:22.820 top hat

00:32:23.280 goes on the

00:32:24.360 Canadian drag queen show.

00:32:26.080 This is just

00:32:26.940 what happens now.

00:32:28.180 This is a

00:32:28.940 religious right

00:32:29.880 for politicians.

00:32:31.220 In the old days,

00:32:33.120 politicians

00:32:33.580 who wanted

00:32:34.760 to win office

00:32:36.640 in the dominant

00:32:37.400 powerful culture

00:32:38.340 would go to churches.

00:32:40.900 They'd go to a church

00:32:42.120 and you'd see them

00:32:42.940 with their Bible.

00:32:44.140 You know,

00:32:44.400 maybe they'd kiss

00:32:44.860 a couple babies there.

00:32:45.980 And, you know,

00:32:47.960 they would go to

00:32:49.280 the old religious rituals.

00:32:51.380 In India,

00:32:52.660 when someone wants

00:32:53.760 to become

00:32:54.180 prime minister of India,

00:32:55.720 they go to Varanasi

00:32:56.980 and they go into

00:32:57.680 the Ganges River

00:32:58.620 because it's considered

00:32:59.500 holy.

00:33:00.700 And they'll sometimes

00:33:01.400 go,

00:33:01.720 and the river is

00:33:02.500 full of bacteria

00:33:03.380 and they'll sometimes

00:33:04.180 go into the river.

00:33:04.780 Sometimes they'll even

00:33:05.280 drink out of the river,

00:33:06.500 which is not very good

00:33:07.880 for their physical health,

00:33:08.980 but they have to do it.

00:33:10.440 So important

00:33:11.060 is that religious ritual.

00:33:12.120 Well,

00:33:12.560 that's just what

00:33:13.060 we're seeing now

00:33:13.760 with the left.

00:33:15.520 The left's religious ritual

00:33:17.100 that you have to perform

00:33:18.920 if you want to be

00:33:20.260 considered holy

00:33:21.080 in their extraordinarily

00:33:22.400 unholy religious view

00:33:24.740 is you need to

00:33:27.800 bend the knee

00:33:29.080 to the weird 0.64

00:33:31.200 trans stuff,

00:33:32.600 the LGBT stuff.

00:33:33.580 You certainly have to

00:33:34.260 show up to a pride parade.

00:33:35.160 And I mean,

00:33:37.920 I remember seeing this

00:33:38.720 even 10 years ago

00:33:39.980 in New York.

00:33:41.340 They always have

00:33:41.760 all these sorts of 0.97

00:33:42.280 weird, crazy LGBT parades 1.00

00:33:44.180 with the Pride Parade, 0.99

00:33:44.980 the Mermaid Parade

00:33:45.720 on Coney Island.

00:33:46.660 Chuck Schumer

00:33:47.060 was showing up.

00:33:47.620 You have to do that now.

00:33:49.080 And now it goes even further.

00:33:50.200 You have to show up

00:33:50.980 for transgenderism. 0.59

00:33:54.260 It makes me think

00:33:55.440 of a point that

00:33:56.080 my friend Alan Estrin

00:33:57.140 said to me yesterday.

00:33:58.540 I was on Alan Estrin

00:33:59.340 who runs Prager University.

00:34:01.060 I got on a call

00:34:01.760 with him and Jeremy.

00:34:03.640 We were just sort of

00:34:04.240 catching up.

00:34:05.160 And he said,

00:34:05.960 hey guys,

00:34:07.480 well,

00:34:08.940 welcome to the

00:34:09.860 States of America.

00:34:11.940 And I thought,

00:34:13.020 wow,

00:34:13.580 that is so incisive.

00:34:16.340 Yeah,

00:34:16.780 that's a great

00:34:17.500 takeaway from the midterms.

00:34:18.680 We live

00:34:19.060 not in the

00:34:20.560 United States of America.

00:34:22.000 We live in the

00:34:22.560 States of America.

00:34:23.840 We live in

00:34:24.620 different realities

00:34:26.280 with

00:34:27.180 different cultures

00:34:29.020 and different,

00:34:30.840 not just different

00:34:31.800 kind of practices,

00:34:33.220 but different

00:34:34.240 religious views

00:34:35.600 with different

00:34:36.360 languages.

00:34:36.960 We don't even

00:34:37.520 speak the same

00:34:38.240 language with a

00:34:39.080 different conception

00:34:39.680 of marriage,

00:34:40.740 the bedrock

00:34:41.180 political institution,

00:34:43.020 with completely

00:34:43.540 different conceptions

00:34:44.420 of life,

00:34:45.740 with completely

00:34:46.340 different conceptions

00:34:46.960 of the nation state.

00:34:48.220 We're just,

00:34:48.760 we have very,

00:34:50.240 very little

00:34:51.260 in common.

00:34:53.340 And now if you,

00:34:53.940 if you want,

00:34:54.460 I mean,

00:34:54.580 this is one of the

00:34:55.200 stories of the

00:34:55.660 midterms is that

00:34:56.720 people had voted

00:34:57.460 with their feet,

00:34:58.320 which is good news.

00:34:59.720 That's why,

00:35:00.420 that's one of the

00:35:00.960 reasons why Florida

00:35:01.680 had such a great

00:35:02.700 night for Republicans,

00:35:03.460 but it's also one

00:35:04.660 of the reasons why

00:35:05.240 Lee Zeldin,

00:35:05.860 the Republican

00:35:06.240 candidate,

00:35:06.740 wasn't able to

00:35:07.340 win in New York.

00:35:08.520 He got pretty

00:35:08.940 close,

00:35:09.360 but how many

00:35:09.780 conservative New

00:35:10.420 Yorkers had just

00:35:11.260 left,

00:35:11.740 voted with their

00:35:12.220 feet,

00:35:12.420 said,

00:35:12.560 I don't want to

00:35:12.880 live like this

00:35:13.520 anymore.

00:35:14.100 I want to go

00:35:14.540 live in a normal

00:35:15.180 place.

00:35:15.780 And so if you

00:35:16.220 want to win

00:35:16.720 elections in the

00:35:17.560 normal conservative

00:35:18.240 places,

00:35:18.940 then you're going

00:35:19.560 to have to still

00:35:20.220 keep going around

00:35:20.820 to those churches

00:35:21.420 and potluck dinners.

00:35:22.660 And if you want

00:35:23.120 to win elections in

00:35:24.060 the radical leftist

00:35:25.040 states,

00:35:25.520 then you're going

00:35:26.220 to need to go

00:35:26.640 on the drag queen 1.00

00:35:27.280 TV show.

00:35:28.220 And those are

00:35:28.580 just different

00:35:30.060 forms of campaign

00:35:31.740 with different

00:35:32.540 rights because

00:35:33.620 people have

00:35:34.180 different fundamental

00:35:35.860 views of the

00:35:38.100 world.

00:35:39.080 One of the other

00:35:39.940 results of the

00:35:41.960 midterm elections

00:35:42.660 is because Biden

00:35:43.980 lost.

00:35:44.620 I mean,

00:35:44.800 let's not forget,

00:35:46.100 Republicans still

00:35:47.120 seem to have won.

00:35:48.400 They didn't win

00:35:49.060 by as much as we

00:35:49.860 hoped they would,

00:35:51.260 that we would,

00:35:52.140 but Republicans

00:35:53.040 still won unless

00:35:55.120 something gets a

00:35:55.700 little screwy in

00:35:56.180 the final vote

00:35:56.660 count.

00:35:57.400 But because they

00:35:58.700 didn't win with a

00:35:59.400 huge mandate,

00:36:00.840 Joe Biden was just

00:36:01.620 asked by Zeke

00:36:03.420 Miller,

00:36:04.160 what are you going

00:36:05.480 to change now

00:36:06.200 after this midterm,

00:36:07.180 sir?

00:36:07.500 And he says,

00:36:08.500 not a thing.

00:36:09.900 You mentioned

00:36:10.600 that Americans

00:36:11.520 are frustrated.

00:36:12.460 In fact,

00:36:13.340 75% of voters

00:36:14.520 say the country

00:36:15.100 is heading into

00:36:15.700 the wrong direction

00:36:16.380 despite the results

00:36:17.180 of last night.

00:36:18.200 What in the next

00:36:18.920 two years do you

00:36:19.680 intend to do

00:36:20.160 differently to

00:36:21.460 change people's

00:36:22.700 opinion of the

00:36:23.640 direction of the

00:36:24.200 country,

00:36:24.560 particularly as

00:36:25.040 you contemplate

00:36:25.580 a run for

00:36:26.480 president in

00:36:26.940 2024?

00:36:27.980 Nothing,

00:36:28.740 because they're

00:36:29.360 just finding out

00:36:30.140 what we're doing.

00:36:31.120 The more they

00:36:31.900 know about what

00:36:32.520 we're doing,

00:36:32.940 the more support

00:36:33.580 there is.

00:36:34.660 I'm not going

00:36:35.380 to change a

00:36:36.020 thing.

00:36:36.440 Forget about

00:36:36.880 after Bill

00:36:38.260 Clinton gets

00:36:38.860 shellacked in

00:36:39.560 the midterms

00:36:40.040 and he comes

00:36:40.340 out and he

00:36:40.580 says,

00:36:40.820 the Arab

00:36:41.320 big government

00:36:41.960 is over.

00:36:43.200 I feel your

00:36:44.140 pain.

00:36:44.700 I hear your

00:36:45.200 midterms.

00:36:47.380 Forget about

00:36:48.040 that.

00:36:48.260 That's over.

00:36:48.740 Joe Biden

00:36:49.040 says,

00:36:49.340 I'm not going

00:36:49.840 to change 0.86

00:36:50.460 a damn thing. 0.98

00:36:52.040 Although, 1.00

00:36:52.440 frankly,

00:36:52.940 even had he

00:36:53.760 gotten

00:36:54.140 completely

00:36:55.380 destroyed in

00:36:55.980 the midterms,

00:36:56.440 I don't think

00:36:56.820 he would have 0.87

00:36:57.080 changed a damn 0.92

00:36:57.700 thing at all 0.97

00:36:58.500 because I think

00:36:59.260 the left is

00:36:59.840 much more

00:37:01.280 willing to

00:37:02.100 flex their

00:37:02.860 power right

00:37:03.620 now.

00:37:04.580 And they've

00:37:05.340 shown this

00:37:05.880 time and

00:37:06.320 time again.

00:37:07.120 Forget about

00:37:07.560 the polls.

00:37:08.180 Forget about

00:37:08.500 what people

00:37:08.900 want.

00:37:10.040 People broadly

00:37:10.760 don't want you

00:37:11.400 transiting their

00:37:12.000 kids.

00:37:12.620 Well,

00:37:12.820 the White

00:37:13.080 House is

00:37:13.400 going to

00:37:13.620 push it.

00:37:14.660 People broadly

00:37:15.360 don't want

00:37:15.920 more migration.

00:37:17.400 White House is

00:37:17.920 going to push

00:37:18.340 it.

00:37:18.520 completely

00:37:19.700 open borders.

00:37:21.580 People want

00:37:22.440 energy prices

00:37:23.380 to come down.

00:37:24.000 White House

00:37:24.300 doesn't care.

00:37:25.640 White House

00:37:26.060 is going to

00:37:26.360 shut down

00:37:26.700 energy production.

00:37:28.040 The liberal

00:37:28.460 establishment

00:37:28.960 does not care.

00:37:29.760 What are they

00:37:30.020 going to change?

00:37:30.580 They're not

00:37:30.760 going to

00:37:30.980 change a

00:37:31.580 thing.

00:37:32.600 You know,

00:37:33.440 if you're

00:37:33.700 looking for

00:37:33.980 a change

00:37:34.340 in your

00:37:34.580 job,

00:37:35.160 the Daily

00:37:35.400 Wire is

00:37:35.740 looking for

00:37:36.080 a senior

00:37:36.600 vice president

00:37:37.480 of marketing,

00:37:38.740 analytics,

00:37:39.440 data,

00:37:40.000 and operations.

00:37:40.980 I'm told

00:37:41.420 that this

00:37:41.800 is a high

00:37:42.280 profile executive

00:37:43.220 role with

00:37:44.140 paid relocation

00:37:45.580 to Nashville.

00:37:46.860 This innovator

00:37:47.520 will design,

00:37:48.460 hire,

00:37:48.840 and oversee

00:37:49.380 a world-class

00:37:50.600 marketing data

00:37:51.460 and analytics

00:37:52.200 team that is

00:37:53.080 built atop the

00:37:53.760 marketing data

00:37:54.400 stack from

00:37:55.340 CRM platforms

00:37:56.480 to multi-touch

00:37:57.640 attribution tools

00:37:58.740 to propensity

00:37:59.700 targeting models.

00:38:00.620 What language

00:38:01.020 is that?

00:38:01.460 I don't even

00:38:01.840 know.

00:38:02.120 I don't know

00:38:02.480 what any of

00:38:03.040 I barely know

00:38:03.540 what those

00:38:03.800 syllables mean.

00:38:04.960 This leader

00:38:05.460 will,

00:38:05.820 for example,

00:38:06.340 study which

00:38:06.860 Daily Wire

00:38:07.260 shows and

00:38:07.720 films most

00:38:08.600 interest the

00:38:09.280 audience.

00:38:11.440 Don't think

00:38:12.020 we need to

00:38:12.440 hire a new

00:38:13.180 vice president

00:38:15.360 of whatever

00:38:15.920 the hell

00:38:16.340 to do that.

00:38:17.080 I think

00:38:17.240 that answer

00:38:17.660 is pretty

00:38:18.540 obvious.

00:38:19.300 But anyway,

00:38:19.760 they want to

00:38:20.120 do it.

00:38:20.400 Maybe that

00:38:20.680 could be a

00:38:21.000 good thing

00:38:21.220 for you.

00:38:21.800 If you

00:38:22.360 understand what

00:38:23.840 a full

00:38:24.480 marketing data

00:38:25.600 and analytics

00:38:26.320 stack is,

00:38:27.420 head on over

00:38:27.920 to dailywire.com

00:38:29.660 slash

00:38:30.200 Knowles and

00:38:31.200 click careers

00:38:31.960 for more

00:38:32.580 information to

00:38:33.260 apply.

00:38:34.040 Also,

00:38:34.520 the Daily Wire

00:38:34.940 is seeking a

00:38:35.540 vice president

00:38:37.440 The ideal

00:38:37.820 candidate will

00:38:38.380 be a season

00:38:38.960 leader and

00:38:39.520 media strategist

00:38:40.300 who can toggle

00:38:41.120 between player

00:38:41.900 and coach

00:38:42.420 who thrives in

00:38:43.400 fast-paced,

00:38:44.520 highly creative

00:38:50.580 In more simple

00:38:51.960 words, all those

00:38:53.620 ads that people

00:38:54.500 ignore or like to

00:38:55.660 skip, we need

00:38:56.560 someone to make it

00:38:57.340 so that they don't

00:38:58.280 want to ignore or

00:38:59.080 skip them.

00:38:59.720 Having prior

00:39:00.320 experience with

00:39:01.360 subscription, or

00:39:01.800 high-growth consumer

00:39:02.460 businesses would be a

00:39:03.300 huge plus as well.

00:39:12.100 The establishment

00:39:18.080 has bought into

00:39:19.880 transgenderism, even 0.51

00:39:21.360 though the people

00:39:22.000 broadly don't like

00:39:23.180 it, even though the

00:39:24.380 Republicans who did

00:39:25.180 very, very well in

00:39:26.200 the midterms and in

00:39:27.120 recent years have

00:39:28.720 done so running

00:39:29.420 against transgenderism. 0.97

00:39:30.980 I'm thinking of

00:39:31.360 Ron DeSantis,

00:39:32.080 especially in Florida,

00:39:33.380 biggest winner of

00:39:33.980 the night.

00:39:34.980 During the midterms,

00:39:35.820 I'm thinking of

00:39:36.260 Glenn Youngkin in

00:39:37.500 Virginia.

00:39:38.300 I'm thinking of an

00:39:39.100 issue that has brought

00:39:39.940 a lot of people over

00:39:40.860 from the Democrat

00:39:41.460 side to the

00:39:41.980 Republican side.

00:39:43.660 The establishment

00:39:44.540 still pushes it,

00:39:46.700 including the

00:39:47.660 supposedly right-wing

00:39:49.740 media channels.

00:39:51.320 Not all of them,

00:39:52.720 but the ones that

00:39:54.660 have most

00:39:55.100 accommodated

00:39:55.720 themselves to the

00:39:56.720 elite kind of

00:39:58.640 media apparatus.

00:40:00.960 They go along

00:40:01.920 with it.

00:40:02.440 I'm not surprised

00:40:03.540 when NBC and

00:40:04.640 ABC and CNN and

00:40:06.200 all the New York

00:40:06.840 Times and

00:40:07.240 Washington Post,

00:40:07.880 I'm not surprised

00:40:08.600 when they buy into

00:40:09.840 the absolutely

00:40:11.120 absurd idea

00:40:12.360 that a man

00:40:13.220 is a woman

00:40:13.780 and that a man

00:40:14.760 who dyes his hair

00:40:15.680 a crazy color

00:40:16.520 and mutilates his

00:40:17.740 body and puts 0.91

00:40:19.100 lipstick on,

00:40:19.840 is totally normal

00:40:21.620 and brave and

00:40:23.300 stunning and so

00:40:24.420 brilliant and

00:40:26.080 should be affirmed

00:40:27.380 in that delusion.

00:40:28.200 I'm not surprised

00:40:29.060 by that.

00:40:30.440 But even I,

00:40:31.720 with my low

00:40:32.320 expectations,

00:40:33.980 was surprised.

00:40:35.860 I shouldn't be

00:40:36.360 anymore,

00:40:36.640 but I was surprised

00:40:37.100 to see this piece

00:40:37.620 from Fox News.

00:40:38.300 Fox News

00:40:40.020 tweets out

00:40:40.420 yesterday,

00:40:41.780 breaking barriers.

00:40:43.760 Leigh Finke

00:40:44.560 attributed her

00:40:45.900 victory to the

00:40:47.140 rise of queer 0.61

00:40:48.100 political power.

00:40:49.960 I said,

00:40:50.320 oh,

00:40:50.460 Leigh Finke.

00:40:51.000 Who's Leigh Finke?

00:40:51.580 And I look at

00:40:51.920 the picture and

00:40:52.540 it's this,

00:40:53.180 you know,

00:40:54.560 poor caricature

00:40:56.820 of a troubled

00:40:57.640 man who has

00:40:59.680 pink dyed hair

00:41:01.920 in a woman's 0.95

00:41:02.540 haircut and is

00:41:03.160 wearing a kind

00:41:03.760 turquoise

00:41:05.180 woman's top 0.68

00:41:07.740 and wearing

00:41:08.940 lipstick and

00:41:09.900 it's just 0.98

00:41:10.480 ridiculous. 0.97

00:41:12.020 The man should 1.00

00:41:12.460 be in an insane 0.86

00:41:13.220 asylum,

00:41:13.860 not in any

00:41:15.760 sort of political

00:41:16.440 office.

00:41:17.640 And then I read

00:41:18.400 the headline and

00:41:18.920 I thought,

00:41:19.780 is Fox News

00:41:20.460 kind of mocking

00:41:21.620 this absurdity?

00:41:23.140 Is Fox News,

00:41:23.900 is this a sort of

00:41:24.460 tongue-in-cheek?

00:41:25.960 But Fox used

00:41:26.960 the pronoun.

00:41:28.500 Fox News is

00:41:29.960 referring to a

00:41:31.160 dude who is

00:41:32.440 very obviously a

00:41:33.400 dude as

00:41:34.420 her.

00:41:37.760 Unironically,

00:41:38.380 I think,

00:41:38.640 I've got the

00:41:39.000 article here,

00:41:40.580 Minnesota elects

00:41:41.720 first transgender

00:41:43.240 state lawmaker.

00:41:45.600 Even to use the

00:41:47.300 phrase transgender 0.51

00:41:48.160 seriously is just 0.94

00:41:51.700 to buy the

00:41:52.180 premise of the

00:41:53.300 left, which is

00:41:54.120 absurd.

00:41:55.000 The idea that 0.56

00:41:55.780 there is such a

00:41:56.440 thing as

00:41:56.740 transgenderism,

00:41:57.500 there is not.

00:41:58.260 There is no

00:41:58.920 ontological category

00:42:00.500 of, you know,

00:42:01.620 trans women or

00:42:02.940 trans men.

00:42:03.800 It doesn't

00:42:04.200 exist.

00:42:06.400 There are men

00:42:07.140 who wrongly

00:42:08.220 express their

00:42:09.060 sexual nature

00:42:10.300 and women who

00:42:12.040 wrongly express

00:42:12.740 their sexual

00:42:13.220 nature, but

00:42:13.620 there's no

00:42:13.840 such thing as 0.74

00:42:14.240 transgender as

00:42:17.280 an actual

00:42:18.120 category of

00:42:18.900 being.

00:42:20.400 Minnesota voters

00:42:21.140 have elected the

00:42:21.680 state's first

00:42:22.120 transgender lawmaker

00:42:23.140 into office.

00:42:25.620 Finkey's opponent

00:42:26.260 lost, received,

00:42:27.500 you know,

00:42:27.960 just 18.5% of

00:42:29.920 the vote.

00:42:32.060 When Finkey is

00:42:33.000 sworn into office

00:42:33.600 in January, she

00:42:34.500 will replace Alice

00:42:35.620 Houseman, who was

00:42:36.440 first elected to

00:42:37.080 office in 1989.

00:42:38.900 Oh my goodness

00:42:39.520 gracious, she, her,

00:42:41.940 she. 0.93

00:42:43.360 Many stories will be

00:42:44.080 written about

00:42:44.440 Minnesota's elections,

00:42:45.380 she said in a tweet

00:42:46.680 quoting the Victory

00:42:47.320 Fund.

00:42:47.980 One undeniable story

00:42:49.000 is the rise of queer 0.95

00:42:49.940 political power.

00:42:51.040 Yeah, that's true.

00:42:51.840 We do have very queer

00:42:52.740 powers in this country.

00:42:54.920 The principalities and

00:42:56.000 powers of this world

00:42:56.640 have long been a bit

00:42:57.320 queer, and they're 1.00

00:42:58.780 now very explicitly

00:42:59.800 queer, including 0.97

00:43:01.960 at Fox News, I 0.90

00:43:02.700 guess.

00:43:04.000 What is that about,

00:43:05.320 guys?

00:43:05.740 Come on, you're,

00:43:06.440 come on, you're,

00:43:08.020 you're supposed to

00:43:08.680 be the right-wing

00:43:09.320 cable channel, you

00:43:11.140 know, and if, if

00:43:12.440 even the, the

00:43:13.420 supposedly right-wing,

00:43:15.180 even center-right

00:43:16.180 conservative cable

00:43:17.420 channel is embracing

00:43:19.660 the most insanely

00:43:21.640 radical leftist

00:43:23.000 idea possibly in

00:43:25.040 American history,

00:43:25.860 you know, who

00:43:29.260 needs Democrats?

00:43:30.660 With, with, with

00:43:31.340 right-wingers like

00:43:32.240 this, who needs

00:43:32.900 leftists?

00:43:34.700 Absolutely 1.00

00:43:35.300 pathetic. 1.00

00:43:37.740 It's misinformation 1.00

00:43:38.300 is what it is.

00:43:39.440 To call that man a

00:43:40.520 woman is misinformation. 1.00

00:43:42.540 Elon, censor this

00:43:44.760 tweet.

00:43:45.520 It's, it's

00:43:46.220 misinformation.

00:43:47.920 You're not allowed

00:43:48.800 to mention that

00:43:50.000 COVID came, probably

00:43:51.200 came from a Chinese

00:43:51.880 laboratory, or that

00:43:53.140 the vaccine isn't all

00:43:54.040 that effective at

00:43:54.760 stopping infection

00:43:55.780 and transmission of

00:43:56.460 COVID.

00:43:57.180 That's, that's

00:43:57.800 horrible misinformation,

00:43:58.680 but you can call this

00:43:59.860 obvious dude a chick, 1.00

00:44:01.580 and that's, that's,

00:44:02.700 it's true information?

00:44:04.700 I don't think so.

00:44:05.600 I don't think so.

00:44:06.600 Speaking of

00:44:07.220 misinformation, there

00:44:08.820 was a story on

00:44:09.340 election day, I meant,

00:44:10.320 meant to get to it, it

00:44:11.260 kind of snuck past a lot

00:44:12.320 of people.

00:44:13.460 This was a minor story,

00:44:14.880 but it happened in

00:44:15.540 Tennessee, and it could 0.94

00:44:16.320 have had pretty serious

00:44:17.560 consequences.

00:44:18.440 Shows you how subtle

00:44:19.440 the shenanigans can be.

00:44:22.320 Someone gave us this

00:44:23.340 tip and sent us

00:44:24.100 screenshots, and

00:44:24.800 daily wire has, has

00:44:26.760 reported on it, that

00:44:28.960 Alexa, the Amazon

00:44:30.580 voice app, had

00:44:33.380 information about

00:44:34.480 polling places.

00:44:35.580 You know, all of

00:44:36.160 social media had

00:44:36.940 been primed to give

00:44:39.260 people information

00:44:39.880 about where to go to

00:44:40.540 the polls and how to

00:44:41.420 vote, and so Alexa 1.00

00:44:43.520 did this too.

00:44:44.240 And when you asked

00:44:45.060 Alexa, Alexa, what are

00:44:48.320 the polling hours in

00:44:49.420 Tennessee on election

00:44:50.380 day?

00:44:51.000 Here's what Alexa

00:44:51.720 said.

00:44:52.080 There are no polling

00:44:53.560 hours in Tennessee.

00:44:55.200 Ballots must be sent by

00:44:56.400 mail before election day

00:44:57.680 or returned to a

00:44:59.140 designated ballot drop

00:45:00.400 box or in person to the

00:45:02.100 county elections department

00:45:03.540 by 8 p.m. on election

00:45:04.580 day.

00:45:06.580 Huh?

00:45:07.240 If you asked in other

00:45:08.520 states, it gave you the

00:45:09.500 polling hours.

00:45:10.240 But in Tennessee, it

00:45:11.320 didn't.

00:45:12.980 And it's not even, it

00:45:13.800 didn't, like, Alexa

00:45:15.020 couldn't look it up on

00:45:16.660 Google or something like

00:45:17.500 that.

00:45:17.700 Alexa didn't have the 1.00

00:45:18.500 right information.

00:45:19.040 There was a lot written

00:45:20.660 there.

00:45:21.480 There are no polling

00:45:22.280 hours in Tennessee.

00:45:24.380 Ballots must be sent by

00:45:25.900 mail before election day

00:45:27.400 or returned in person to,

00:45:31.320 but that's not true.

00:45:32.640 I went, there were

00:45:33.640 polling hours, I voted.

00:45:36.000 So what's that about?

00:45:37.740 Was it malice or

00:45:38.760 incompetence?

00:45:39.460 I don't know.

00:45:41.220 Maybe it's incompetence.

00:45:42.340 I mean, this was one of

00:45:42.940 the disagreements that

00:45:44.200 some of us were having on

00:45:45.080 backstage night, is we

00:45:46.820 were talking about the

00:45:47.400 Maricopa County machines

00:45:49.180 and Ben said, charitably

00:45:51.840 perhaps, listen, don't

00:45:53.320 ascribe to malice that

00:45:54.340 which is equally explained

00:45:55.300 by incompetence.

00:45:56.000 Those Maricopa County

00:45:57.700 machines, it's just

00:45:58.420 incompetence.

00:46:00.780 Maybe, maybe it's

00:46:02.560 incompetence.

00:46:03.200 Maybe the widespread

00:46:06.360 mail-in ballots in 2020

00:46:07.600 in Pennsylvania, maybe

00:46:08.500 that was incompetence.

00:46:09.520 Maybe that burst water

00:46:10.500 pipe and the stopping of

00:46:11.720 the vote count in 2020

00:46:12.680 in Georgia, maybe that

00:46:14.080 was incompetence.

00:46:14.860 Maybe the suppression

00:46:17.640 of the Hunter Biden

00:46:18.380 laptop story in 2020,

00:46:19.520 maybe that was 0.51

00:46:20.040 incompetence.

00:46:20.740 Maybe Alexa telling 0.94

00:46:23.160 Tennessee voters that

00:46:24.260 there are no polling

00:46:24.980 hours on election day.

00:46:26.780 When we know that

00:46:27.620 Republicans are more 0.81

00:46:28.320 likely to vote on

00:46:28.940 election day and we

00:46:29.780 know Democrats are more

00:46:30.860 likely to vote before

00:46:31.640 election day and after

00:46:32.680 they have died, we know

00:46:34.200 that that's true too.

00:46:35.800 Maybe it's all

00:46:36.520 incompetence.

00:46:37.640 But, man, that's

00:46:38.920 sure a lot of

00:46:39.900 coincidences, isn't it?

00:46:40.880 It's just funny how

00:46:42.580 the incompetence always

00:46:44.460 redounds to the benefit

00:46:45.420 of Democrats and to

00:46:46.800 the disadvantage of

00:46:47.560 Republicans.

00:46:48.920 Maybe some of it is

00:46:49.860 incompetence and not

00:46:51.420 malice, but it's just

00:46:52.140 the whole system of it.

00:46:54.960 I think it would be

00:46:56.080 hard to say that that

00:46:57.420 whole system of

00:46:59.740 mistakes and

00:47:01.700 mishaps and that

00:47:03.460 that's all just

00:47:04.740 incompetence.

00:47:06.640 Once can be a

00:47:07.640 fluke, twice can be a

00:47:09.140 coincidence, three times

00:47:10.600 seems a little bit

00:47:12.700 more strategic and

00:47:14.600 systematic.

00:47:16.640 Now, speaking of

00:47:18.060 issues on election

00:47:19.640 day, one issue that

00:47:21.660 as the polls got

00:47:23.900 things wrong for

00:47:24.440 Republicans in those

00:47:25.200 last two weeks, one

00:47:26.480 issue that may have

00:47:27.760 played a role more

00:47:29.540 than a lot of

00:47:30.480 conservatives thought

00:47:31.200 was abortion.

00:47:32.980 And in a very

00:47:33.740 specific way, we've

00:47:36.260 known for years now

00:47:37.740 that abortion does 0.62

00:47:39.100 not rank for most

00:47:40.240 people at the very

00:47:41.220 tippy top of their

00:47:43.200 list of issues.

00:47:46.380 And when people are

00:47:47.300 considering issues,

00:47:48.600 the economy, crime,

00:47:50.600 immigration, those

00:47:51.480 sorts of things tend to

00:47:52.680 rank much, much

00:47:53.320 higher.

00:47:54.340 But there was

00:47:55.480 something this year

00:47:56.580 that motivated people,

00:47:59.040 I think, to vote more

00:47:59.960 specifically on

00:48:00.900 abortion.

00:48:01.520 And that's what might

00:48:02.500 have skewed the polls.

00:48:03.440 And that is that

00:48:05.000 abortion came up on

00:48:08.420 a lot of ballots in

00:48:09.660 referenda.

00:48:10.860 So it's not just that

00:48:11.620 people were voting for

00:48:12.260 a pro-life politician

00:48:13.040 or a pro-abortion

00:48:13.560 politician.

00:48:14.140 They were voting

00:48:14.620 specifically on

00:48:15.940 abortion issues.

00:48:18.200 So when abortion is 0.67

00:48:19.240 literally on the

00:48:21.080 ballot, perhaps that

00:48:23.180 motivated more pro-abortion

00:48:24.960 fanatics to get to the

00:48:26.140 polls.

00:48:27.020 And when they did that,

00:48:28.020 they obviously voted

00:48:28.700 for Democrats.

00:48:29.420 So it's sort of one

00:48:30.740 degree removed from

00:48:31.960 the normal way that

00:48:33.320 you would think about

00:48:33.860 voting.

00:48:34.240 That might have

00:48:34.660 explained things as

00:48:35.700 well.

00:48:36.040 Now, I always think,

00:48:37.600 look, especially if

00:48:39.240 Republicans win the

00:48:39.920 House and win the

00:48:40.800 Senate, then you say,

00:48:41.940 you know, okay,

00:48:42.540 whatever.

00:48:43.040 Yeah, we didn't get

00:48:43.580 56 seats.

00:48:44.360 Okay, fine.

00:48:44.820 We got 51 seats or

00:48:45.880 52 seats, whatever.

00:48:47.780 But even if not, even

00:48:49.000 if it had cost

00:48:49.820 Republicans the

00:48:50.580 Senate to overrule

00:48:52.480 Roe v. Wade, totally

00:48:55.040 worth it.

00:48:56.080 Of course, totally

00:48:57.180 worth it.

00:48:58.340 You know, I just knew

00:48:59.340 the Supreme Court

00:49:00.320 shouldn't have, if

00:49:01.400 they had just waited

00:49:02.160 and not gone and

00:49:03.200 overruled Roe v. Wade.

00:49:04.080 Oh, well, if they

00:49:04.700 hadn't done that,

00:49:05.540 hundreds of thousands

00:49:06.200 more babies a year

00:49:07.000 would be murdered.

00:49:08.040 And it's true, maybe 1.00

00:49:09.220 some more psychopath 0.89

00:49:11.340 politicians would have

00:49:12.760 held some seats in

00:49:13.740 Congress or something,

00:49:14.680 but I don't care.

00:49:15.740 I'll rather take the

00:49:16.600 win.

00:49:17.200 The reason that we

00:49:18.040 want to win elections

00:49:19.280 is to get good stuff

00:49:22.400 done for the country

00:49:23.280 and stop the bad stuff

00:49:25.260 happening in the

00:49:25.840 country, right?

00:49:27.680 And I can think of

00:49:29.060 a few issues where

00:49:29.740 good and bad are more

00:49:30.520 starkly defined than

00:49:32.680 on abortion.

00:49:33.180 So, totally worth it.

00:49:34.840 But it's worth

00:49:35.360 pointing out, California

00:49:36.240 pro-abortion prop

00:49:37.200 was on the ballot

00:49:39.160 and 65% of

00:49:42.040 Californians voted

00:49:42.800 for it.

00:49:44.280 You saw the same

00:49:44.980 thing in Vermont,

00:49:45.980 in Montana,

00:49:47.460 Kentucky.

00:49:49.320 Well, you saw it

00:49:49.960 all over the place.

00:49:51.800 Michigan did that

00:49:53.940 push, you know,

00:49:54.580 if the abortion prop

00:49:55.680 is on the ballot

00:49:57.180 in Michigan and it

00:49:57.980 passes,

00:49:58.380 passed pretty clearly,

00:50:00.160 56.4 to 43.6.

00:50:02.060 Is that what gives

00:50:03.280 Gretchen Whitmer that

00:50:04.140 extra boost to get over

00:50:05.140 Tudor Dixon, who is a

00:50:05.960 good candidate?

00:50:07.000 Maybe it is.

00:50:07.900 And maybe that's just

00:50:08.640 the cost.

00:50:09.100 First of all,

00:50:11.000 though, you can't just

00:50:12.260 say, well, it's Trump's

00:50:13.040 fault he picked bad

00:50:13.800 candidates.

00:50:14.240 In a way, it is Trump's

00:50:14.960 fault because he got the

00:50:15.680 conservative judges on

00:50:16.560 the court who then

00:50:17.540 overruled Roe v. Wade.

00:50:18.960 So it is.

00:50:19.660 But that's something that

00:50:20.480 I think he would want to

00:50:21.220 take responsibility for.

00:50:22.560 And you can't just say,

00:50:24.140 well, it's the fault of

00:50:25.980 election fraud or, well,

00:50:27.500 it's the fault of this

00:50:28.300 that, or, well, it's the

00:50:30.100 fault of even a bad

00:50:30.900 Senate map.

00:50:32.260 No, okay, if it is the

00:50:34.060 case that abortion

00:50:34.620 actually did play a role

00:50:35.500 in some of these tighter

00:50:36.940 races, okay, it's too

00:50:39.260 bad that the Republican

00:50:39.980 lost.

00:50:41.040 But lost for good

00:50:41.720 purpose because we got

00:50:42.480 a major, major win.

00:50:44.500 And we just shouldn't be

00:50:45.340 so doer and so

00:50:47.020 absolutely depressed,

00:50:49.000 okay?

00:50:52.160 Conservatives are making

00:50:53.040 big gains.

00:50:53.920 Conservatives are taking

00:50:54.740 back some political power.

00:50:55.960 Conservatives are getting

00:50:56.560 more of a specific vision.

00:50:57.940 And it's going to be messy

00:50:59.000 and there's going to be

00:50:59.560 fighting and it's going to

00:51:00.660 be tough and we're going

00:51:01.520 to get some setbacks.

00:51:03.360 Overall, though, the

00:51:04.980 conservatives are doing

00:51:05.780 more right now than they

00:51:06.900 have in my entire lifetime.

00:51:07.960 That's very, very exciting.

00:51:09.040 Now we've got to win those

00:51:09.680 races.

00:51:10.080 We've got a very important

00:51:11.140 conservative lawyer coming

00:51:12.680 on to help us discuss that.

00:51:13.780 That would, of course, be

00:51:14.620 Jenna Ellis.
