Ep. 1601 - No Results On Election Night
Summary
It's normal not to know the results of an election on election night, according to the establishment media. Is it normal to not know the election results for days, or even weeks after election night? Is this really what we've ever known about elections?

We're two weeks out from election day, and already the establishment media are declaring that we won't know the results that night.
00:00:46.140
They're claiming that we might not know the results for days or even weeks after election night.
00:00:51.760
They are claiming, in fact, that it is normal not to know the results of the election on election night.
00:00:58.720
And that is news to me, and that's probably news to you too.
00:01:02.420
Because we used to know the results on election night pretty much every time.
00:01:07.160
How is it that the most powerful democracy in the history of the world can no longer count its votes on election night?
00:01:38.320
Democrats are really scraping the bottom of the barrel in these final couple weeks here.
00:01:42.620
Tim Walls, Kamala's running mate, is insulting Trump by insinuating that he's gay.
00:01:50.120
We're bringing back elementary schoolyard taunts from the man who is supposedly pro-LGBT and who, in fact, put tampons in little boys' bathrooms.
00:02:01.180
Financing your first home can feel overwhelming, but TD can help.
00:02:06.120
Request a calming call with TD Mortgage Direct and say hello to good advice.
00:02:19.040
It's normal not to know the official results on election night.
00:02:24.760
And then you get this really long, dumb article about why everything you've ever known about elections didn't really happen.
00:02:33.600
And it wasn't really true, and these are not the droids you're looking for.
00:02:37.980
They're not just saying, this is how we do things now.
00:02:40.940
They're not just saying, yeah, there might be anomalies.
00:02:45.500
You know, they swapped out the Democrat candidate, and the Republican candidate almost got murdered twice.
00:02:51.820
Or even, you know, it's COVID, and they changed the rules.
00:02:54.260
So they're now telling us, not only is this how we're doing elections now, but it's normal.
00:03:01.720
Oh, yes, we've never known the results on election night.
00:03:08.040
For every election in my lifetime, other than, I guess, the contested 2000 election, which went all the way up to the Supreme Court, back when we were told that it was patriotic to contest the results of elections, before we were told it was an insurrection and a threat to democracy and akin to the behavior of Adolf Hitler.
00:03:26.400
Other than that one election, when the Democrats tried to overturn the results of the 2000 election, take the White House away from George Bush, other than that, we always knew the results on election night.
00:03:41.100
And so I'm thinking of all the elections in my lifetime, 92.
00:04:00.360
And in 2020, they stopped the vote counts, and it went on for days and weeks.
00:04:04.100
But now, I guess, they're saying, even before this election takes place, yeah, we're going to pull that stuff again.
00:04:12.540
America, we are told, is the most powerful democracy that has ever existed.
00:04:21.800
Well, according to PBS and according to all the lib outlets that are telling us,
00:04:28.020
We have to figure out how many ballots we need before we'll tell you the results from the states.
00:04:33.040
Before that happens, we were able to conduct the elections.
00:04:44.020
If the new technology and procedures are making our elections less efficient, then wouldn't the reasonable thing to do be to go back to the old tried-and-true ways?
00:05:01.220
We've tried extending election day to election month or two months.
00:05:08.540
And yet, it actually makes our elections less efficient, perhaps less secure.
00:05:14.720
So, why wouldn't we just go back to the old way?
00:05:18.160
The only explanation I can come up with is that the people who run our elections don't want them to be secure, don't want them to be efficient, don't want them to be easily accounted for, easily checked.
00:05:41.040
They want the existential threat to our democracy, not only to not be in the Oval Office, they want him to be locked up.
00:05:51.960
They've tried to imprison him four separate times just in this election season, and they've justified his assassination, which has nearly been carried out twice.
00:06:01.380
I try never to ascribe to malice that which is equally explained by stupidity.
00:06:09.300
Wasn't so long ago we could conduct elections and know the results on election night.
00:06:23.720
The Hill is, you know, sort of left wing, center left outlet.
00:06:27.180
The Hill is asking, what if Joe Biden was the better candidate all along?
00:06:36.780
I think a lot of Democrats are wondering this now.
00:06:39.400
What if Biden, even demented as he was, is a better candidate than Kamala Harris?
00:06:51.200
I said, swapping out your candidate this way is just bad.
00:06:58.700
Kamala Harris has never won a primary vote while she was running for president.
00:07:03.880
She was chased out of the 2020 race before the first primary votes were cast.
00:07:08.220
She only got the job, according to Joe Biden, she only got the job because she's a black woman.
00:07:12.200
And he was backed into a corner and demanded to pick a black woman.
00:07:16.840
And it was either her, Susan Rice, or Karen Bass.
00:07:30.480
Now, the LA Times won't even endorse Kamala Harris.
00:07:35.160
You're going to hear the Libs say, well, the reason the LA Times won't endorse is because it has new ownership.
00:07:52.060
And then Joe Biden was pushed to the side anyway in a palace coup.
00:08:04.760
This election is a test to see if democracy still matters.
00:08:07.820
You know, Joe Biden said democracy is on the ballot.
00:08:10.000
And he said that to imply, well, I guess he said it explicitly, that Donald Trump's an existential threat to democracy.
00:08:21.140
Not because I'm saying Kamala Harris is, you know, this unique existential threat to the country or anything like it.
00:08:36.260
The sympathy generated in the campaign looks great for him.
00:08:42.660
If Republicans can't win this election, I'm not sure we can win elections.
00:08:45.620
I'm not sure it matters how popular a candidate is anymore.
00:08:49.400
I'm not sure that we really live under the same kind of regime that we lived under for a long time.
00:08:53.680
That's what it means to say democracy is on the ballot in 2024.
00:08:59.360
By all rights, Kamala should pretty much have no chance in this election.
00:09:03.440
The fact that we're wondering if she'll make it.
00:09:06.660
The fact that so many people are saying, look, if it were a fair election, Trump would obviously win.
00:09:10.780
But who knows, PBS and the liberal establishment are already telling us we're not going to get the results until what?
00:09:17.120
Until we assume the Democrats can find all the votes they need to push this woman over the edge.
00:09:26.940
Tim Walz, stumping desperately in the final days of the campaign against Trump,
00:09:31.120
decides to insult former President Trump by insinuating that he is a homosexual.
00:09:48.300
Next, next, he's going to be telling you he's a cop or a construction worker.
00:09:54.560
Because he dances to the village people, so he knows it's YMCA.
00:10:01.120
And I'll tell you this, though, that five minutes he stood next to the deep fryer, I'll guarantee you that's the hardest that guy's ever worked in his life.
00:10:19.280
I mean, look, childhood taunts are kind of funny.
00:10:24.820
It's not really funny when overgrown children like Tim Walz say them.
00:10:34.060
The insult here when he says Donald Trump, he dances to the village people.
00:10:49.100
I thought Tim Walz founded the Gay Straight Alliance back in the 90s when he was a high school coach.
00:10:56.700
Then he put tampons in the boys bathroom when he was governor of Minnesota because he thinks that some boys need tampons.
00:11:04.360
But you scratch a little bit below the surface and he is more than willing to use gay as an insult, which is true of so many libs.
00:11:11.600
It tells you so much, not just about Tim Walz and Donald Trump or whatever.
00:11:15.680
It tells you so much about the LGBT activism broadly.
00:11:21.400
Because you scratch these guys a little bit and they will use gay LGBT as an insult.
00:11:28.460
Whenever they insinuate that their critics are homosexuals themselves, they're obviously not complimenting their critics.
00:11:42.240
Because they are acknowledging, even the LGBT activists are acknowledging, that it's not ideal.
00:11:53.340
So the next time anyone accuses the Republicans of homophobia or transphobia or this phobia or that phobia, blame that clip of Tim Walz.
00:12:03.220
Blame that clip of any lib insinuating that a Republican is a homosexual or a transsexual or a pansexual or whatever sexual as an insult.
00:12:14.920
It's just that the conservatives, when we suggest that we shouldn't trans the kids because it's not good for them, it's not a desirable identity to have.
00:12:23.440
At least the conservatives are being honest and sincere about it.
00:12:37.900

00:13:36.980
Now, I've got something historic for you folks.
00:13:41.240
I have got the historic first ever fall seasonal candle from thecandleclub.com.
00:13:50.520
You go to the Michael Knowles Collection, you can get the apple orchard.
00:13:54.740
Beautiful seasonal offering that will make your home smell like a fragrant, delicious apple orchard.
00:14:08.300
Makes your home smell like a 12th century monastery.
00:14:13.240
If you're a member of the creme de la creme, the member circle here.
00:14:18.180
You can get the Mayflower Collection of Candles, which are in really nice colored glass cases.
00:14:25.120
Or I guess glass cases of color we're supposed to say these days.
00:14:35.780
Kamala Harris has just been asked by NBC News about the historic nature of her candidacy.
00:14:44.600
You've been reluctant to lean into it, to talk about the historic nature of your candidacy on the campaign trail.
00:14:55.760
But the point that most people really care about is, can you do the job?
00:15:01.460
And do you have a plan to actually focus on them?
00:15:05.680
That is why I spend the majority of my time listening and then addressing the concerns, the challenges, the dreams, the ambitions, and the aspirations of the American people.
00:15:15.400
The historic nature of her candidacy, what is historic about Kamala Harris' candidacy?
00:15:21.360
She's the second woman to be the Democrat nominee for president?
00:15:30.800
She's right now looking likely like the second woman to be beaten by Donald Trump while running for president.
00:15:39.320
I guess what is historic here is actually Trump's candidacy.
00:15:42.800
That Trump could be, again, I don't want to count our chickens before they hatch.
00:15:47.960
Also because the Democrats have so many shenanigans.
00:15:50.540
But right now, according to the polls and the political wins, Donald Trump could be the man who defeated both future first woman presidents, which is very funny.
00:16:06.080
You know, I'm beginning to see why maybe Donald, why Joe Biden had to win in 2020.
00:16:11.460
It was to give President Trump the opportunity to defeat both future first woman presidents, shatter the glass ceiling, smash the patriarchy.
00:16:23.400
You know, Trump had to be the figure because that's the funniest way that that plays out.
00:16:28.780
Other than that, I don't see how this is an historic candidacy.
00:16:33.140
You can hear in the answer, she doesn't want to talk about being the first woman because she is the DEI candidate.
00:16:41.820
Because it's a little too real and people don't like affirmative action picks and they don't like DEI candidates.
00:16:50.980
Joe Biden said that diversity, equality, and inclusion pervades his administration all the way up to the office of the vice president.
00:16:57.960
He decided to pick a black woman just for being a black woman before he ever thought about picking Kamala Harris.
00:17:03.420
So by leaning into the historic, supposedly, nature of her candidacy, Kamala's admitting, yeah, I'm not particularly qualified, but I have the right genitals.
00:17:17.080
So, and, you know, maybe they're talking, they're implying some racial aspect to it too.
00:17:22.680
So I'm, I got the right genitals, I got the right skin color.
00:17:25.140
So that's why, that's why my candidacy matters.
00:17:27.720
Has nothing to do with my accomplishments, of which she has basically none.
00:17:31.080
Has nothing to do with her policy vision, which is neither clear nor popular.
00:17:36.300
Has nothing to do with her popularity, which is non-existent.
00:17:39.700
It's just because she happened to tick a few boxes on the DEI form, and that's how she ended up where she is, according to her boss, Joe Biden.
00:17:52.240
I actually agree with her not to lean into that historic candidacy.
00:17:57.140
Though, I don't want to let the white men of the Democratic Party off the hook.
00:18:00.620
Look, Tim Walls is exactly as unimpressive as Kamala Harris is, maybe more so.
00:18:10.740
Tim Walls campaigning decided to go after not just Trump, not just J.D. Vance, but also Elon Musk.
00:18:17.760
Elon's on that stage, jumping around, skipping like a dip on these things.
00:18:30.620
Elon Musk, he's walking around, skipping like a D-I-P-S-H-I-T.
00:18:44.940
If, I don't know if Dave Chappelle had said that line, Bill Burr or somebody.
00:18:51.440
The reason it doesn't work when Tim Walls says that line is, well, you can see it in the ad that the Republicans started running immediately afterward,
00:18:59.380
which is that audio on top of Tim Walls skipping around like a D-I-P-S-H-I-T.
00:19:18.980
It doesn't work when you exhibit those behaviors.
00:19:22.980
You even see what the schoolyard taunt at the top.
00:19:28.000
That can be funny in a vulgar kind of way, in a crude kind of way, but it can be funny.
00:19:33.840
It's just, it's not funny if you're the guy who put tampons in the boys' bathroom in the elementary schools.
00:19:41.700
It doesn't really land when you're the guy who begged trans kids to come to your state to make Minnesota into the windowless white van of the Midwest
00:19:50.980
because you want to care for the poor trans kids because you're so pro-LGBT.
00:19:57.020
And you can't make fun of a guy for jumping around like a D-I-P-S-H-I-T if you yourself have exhibited that same behavior.
00:20:03.360
It also doesn't work if your campaign is predicated on restoring some dignity and seriousness and adulthood and maturity to the White House.
00:20:18.180
This Donald Trump, we can't have any more years of this vulgar, boorish, chaotic, mean tweeting.
00:20:24.960
But these people are at least as vulgar as Trump, and I think they're much more vulgar than Trump.
00:20:32.480
I think President Trump is following, you know, Emily Post's Guide to Etiquette to a T compared to these people.
00:20:47.660
Now, speaking of Elon Musk, Elon Musk is making a great point on the campaign trail,
00:20:52.740
not just about the opponents, not just about how they look or how they act or anything like that.
00:20:58.880
He's not even just making a point about this election.
00:21:00.660
He's making a point about the systemic problems going on in the country all the way down to the classroom,
00:21:09.160
all the way in the way that we educate our next generation.
00:21:12.740
First, though, go to SupremeCoup.com slash Knowles.
00:21:16.960
Let me tell you about a looming threat to our constitutional republic that the mainstream media won't cover.
00:21:21.660
The radical left is plotting a Supreme Court coup.
00:21:26.520
These progressive ideologues want to eliminate the court's conservative majority
00:21:29.680
by packing it with their own hand-picked justices.
00:21:33.700
If one party controls the House, Senate, and presidency come January,
00:21:41.100
It would spell the end of judicial independence and the rule of law as we know it.
00:21:45.420
First Liberty is leading the charge to protect the Supreme Court from this radical plan.
00:21:49.800
They're fighting to preserve the legitimacy of the court
00:21:52.440
and the separation of powers that safeguards our freedoms.
00:22:06.280
to learn how you can help stop the left's takeover of the Supreme Court.
00:22:17.160
Elon Musk is warning, especially young Americans, but American parents too,
00:22:23.960
who have young American kids, about a major problem that's going to affect
00:22:29.640
not just one election cycle or two election cycles, but generations.
00:22:35.200
I also think that the value of a college education is somewhat overweighted.
00:22:39.620
You know, and I think it's too many people actually spend four years,
00:22:47.340
accumulate a ton of debt, and then often don't have useful skills
00:22:52.900
And I think I have a lot of respect for people who work with their hands
00:22:56.580
and we need electricians and plumbers and carpenters.
00:23:08.900
than having incremental political science majors, I think.
00:23:14.620
You know, so I think we should not have this idea
00:23:18.600
that to be successful you need to have a four-year college.
00:23:23.600
Okay, he's right about everything he said, but that's only half the story.
00:23:28.760
It's actually the real situation is much worse than Elon Musk says it is.
00:23:32.880
Because it's not just that college grads no longer have useful skills.
00:23:38.280
The deeper problem is that college grads no longer have even useless skills.
00:23:43.220
Because the point of college, we need electricians, we need plumbers, we need tradesmen,
00:23:49.120
we need engineers, we need businessmen, we need medical doctors, we need lawyers,
00:23:54.640
we need all sorts of people who do a trade and who do jobs, of course.
00:23:59.900
That is not the purpose of a university education.
00:24:05.280
People go and they major in something really technical or practical,
00:24:10.220
because they hope it's going to get them some job someday.
00:24:12.320
That's not really what university education is for.
00:24:15.880
That's not what liberal education and the liberal arts are for.
00:24:19.360
Actually, liberal arts education is to teach you useless skills
00:24:24.360
that will ultimately be extremely edifying and in the long run quite useful in your life.
00:24:31.380
But it's not to teach you how to be a carpenter.
00:24:33.020
It's not to teach you how to be an electrician.
00:24:42.260
It's to teach you how to make sense of your freedom.
00:24:45.180
It's to expose you to a lot of dusty old books in the great cultural tradition.
00:24:52.380
It's to help you be a better person and to be a happy person.
00:25:01.600
It's to teach you that happiness, in the words of Aristotle, in the Nicomachean Ethics,
00:25:06.160
which is one of those dusty old books that people used to read in university,
00:25:09.020
that happiness is a rational activity in accordance with virtue conducted with excellence.
00:25:16.720
It's to read dusty old books and to think about abstract mathematics and to ponder the heavens
00:25:23.380
and think about human nature, what it means to be free, how we really can be free, to shake
00:25:29.940
Now in universities, we just basically cultivate these awful vices.
00:25:37.520
It's to be in command of your freedom so that you can learn how to do a job, so that you can
00:25:42.280
learn to be an electrician or a plumber or a doctor or a lawyer or a whatever.
00:25:48.600
University education is not necessarily for everyone.
00:25:52.000
Historically speaking, it was really just for a relatively small group of people because
00:25:59.960
Not everyone's going to be as adept at it as other people.
00:26:04.220
And also, your time could be better spent doing other things and cultivating virtues in
00:26:12.440
But there was university education for the people who did want that.
00:26:20.120
So college costs way more than it ever has and way more than it should.
00:26:25.840
It lures you in on the fair premise that if you get a four-year college education, you might
00:26:36.400
Though the cost of that is very high now and the quality of the education is much lower.
00:26:39.940
But kids are told, you got to go to a four-year college to get a good job.
00:26:44.280
So they take out $200,000 in debt and they go to college.
00:26:49.300
But the tragedy that Elon's missing is they don't even learn the useless skills.
00:26:55.760
Unless they go to a handful of colleges, I'm thinking of places like Hillsdale, Franciscan,
00:27:00.900
Ave Maria, maybe Thomas Aquinas College, maybe Liberty, maybe a handful of places that still
00:27:07.920
Maybe at the really elite schools, maybe it's possible to still get a proper education.
00:27:16.800
A lot of times you're funneled into gender studies, AFAM studies, the stupid studies, that
00:27:23.760
And you end up spending four years cultivating vices, losing virtues, being filled with a bunch
00:27:30.860
of gobbledygook nonsense that will damage your life down the line.
00:27:34.920
And, oh, also, you don't know how to do anything practically.
00:27:47.660
I say, no, it's actually even worse than you think it is.
00:27:50.460
Now, speaking of the poorly educated, Kamala Harris has just been exposed for plagiarizing
00:27:58.260
This by the great Christopher Ruffo, who has exposed a lot of plagiarism on the left in recent
00:28:10.660
There's an investigation conducted by Dr. Stefan Weber, a famed Austrian plagiarism hunter
00:28:20.180
And Chris just posted a handful of examples here.
00:28:24.180
But you can see on the left-hand side, you've got in red and in yellow here what Kamala Harris
00:28:31.800
And then on the right-hand side, you can see a Wikipedia page entry with the same red highlight,
00:28:37.780
the same yellow highlight, basically just cut and paste it.
00:28:40.500
And many, many other examples from other sources that she stole from, other reports, but even
00:28:48.580
I'm not saying you shouldn't consult Wikipedia.
00:28:50.600
Wikipedia can be a fine place to start, but then you've got to read books.
00:28:53.880
You know, then you have to read scholarly articles, then you have to maybe do some investigation
00:28:59.340
But if you're copying and pasting Wikipedia in your book, and you're an attorney general,
00:29:05.220
a U.S. senator, vice president, and you're running for president, that is weak.
00:29:12.100
It's a tougher scandal for Kamala than it would be for other politicians, because it confirms
00:29:25.820
If it were Trump, if Trump somehow got caught in a plagiarism scandal, which he hasn't, but
00:29:31.380
if he had, I don't think people would really bat an eyelash, because people don't think
00:29:36.720
of Trump as really seriously writing his own books, or, you know, obviously the guy's got
00:29:42.300
speech writers and book writers and all sorts of, you know, he's a, the guy's been a media
00:29:47.320
mogul, top business mogul, and now president for many, many years.
00:29:55.720
We know that Trump writes a lot of his own speeches because he just goes off the cuff.
00:30:03.540
So people attack him for what he's saying, but you can believe what he's saying is coming
00:30:07.640
With Kamala, has she ever said anything off script?
00:30:15.860
Okay, does Kamala think we need to get tougher on crime or we need to go weaker on crime?
00:30:19.940
Now, if you're a Kamala supporter listening to the show right now, do you have an answer
00:30:25.840
No, because when she was AG in California, she talked like she wanted to get tougher on
00:30:30.440
Then when she was a US senator, she talked like she wanted to abolish prisons and bail the
00:30:33.920
violent rioters from the George Floyd riots out of jail.
00:30:41.220
On drugs, does she want to legalize drugs, decriminalize drugs?
00:30:46.900
As AG, she wanted to get tougher when she was senator running for VP.
00:31:04.160
She's said both things and she's opened the border.
00:31:13.380
It's a bad scandal because it just underscores what we all already know.
00:31:19.760
Like Liz Cheney, former fake Republican Liz Cheney, wants still, even after all the failures,
00:31:31.040
And she does it because she just personally hates Donald Trump.
00:31:34.200
Because she got into a personal battle with Donald Trump and Trump won and Trump got her
00:31:39.280
booted out of Congress and she's out for personal revenge.
00:31:42.100
She is now, in order to obtain that revenge, she is contradicting every principle she ever
00:31:48.660
even pretended to hold to stump for Kamala Harris to get back at the mean orange man who
00:31:55.400
And so she doesn't have much of an argument to make here.
00:31:59.780
So her argument is that you should vote for Kamala even if you disagree with her on life,
00:32:05.060
even if you disagree with her on the economy and migration and foreign policy and trancing the
00:32:10.340
kids and this and that and this and that, you should vote for her because you wouldn't hire
00:32:19.040
If you think about how you conduct, you know, your life outside of politics, how we all conduct
00:32:24.620
our everyday lives, those are the kinds of people that you trust.
00:32:28.320
Those are the kinds of people you can work with.
00:32:30.440
Like if you wouldn't, if you wouldn't hire somebody to babysit your kids, like you shouldn't
00:32:35.760
make that guy the president of the United States.
00:32:48.460
That's the most obvious weakness of this argument.
00:33:00.080
That's weird if a guy is babysitting, girls babysit.
00:33:04.820
The Democrats are obviously confused and Liz Cheney appears to be a Democrat.
00:33:09.180
So she's confused about what a man is and what a woman is.
00:33:12.240
I guess it's no surprise that Liz Cheney thinks that it's normal to hire a guy, a man to babysit
00:33:22.980
So according to her argument, really, most people would only ever vote for a woman president.
00:33:30.960
Does babysitting your kid, does the ability to babysit a kid?
00:33:34.820
Have anything to do with being the president of the United States?
00:33:38.100
It seems to me that if you're a good babysitter, you would probably be a terrible president.
00:33:55.800
They can roll around, I guess, a little bit, maybe on the floor with the, but if you're
00:34:02.540
the president, you have to negotiate with Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping, and you have
00:34:07.960
to outfox the people who are trying to assassinate you.
00:34:10.720
And you have to, I guess there's, you know, in that way, I guess there's a similarity because
00:34:15.160
sometimes little kids can really be tough on the babysitters.
00:34:17.820
But other than that, there's really nothing to do with it.
00:34:26.440
If Liz Cheney could say, you got to vote for Kamala because she's better on the economy,
00:34:32.220
Or because she's better on this issue or that issue, or because she's more competent,
00:34:35.520
or because she's more accomplished, or because she's more of this, they've got nothing.
00:34:38.700
The best, the best you could say is Kamala Harris would be a better babysitter.
00:34:44.380
And I see no reason to believe that that's true.
00:34:49.520
Kamala Harris, I don't, I don't really mean this as a personal knock on her.
00:34:54.660
Maybe she didn't, I don't know if she tried to have kids.
00:34:56.460
She didn't, seems like she didn't really want kids that much.
00:35:01.840
But I don't even, I actually don't even see a compelling argument
00:35:07.300
that Kamala Harris would be a better babysitter.
00:35:13.620
Because in five days, the decade's number one grossing documentary
00:35:20.580
Starring Matt Walsh is arriving on Monday, October 28th.
00:35:24.480
Making a movie and getting into theaters across the country
00:35:31.880
We're doing the work, just like Matt told us to do in that workshop.
00:35:38.720
Use code DEI for 35% off your new membership today.
00:35:42.520
My favorite comment yesterday is from Devin Rossi,
00:35:45.560
who says, vote twice as hard because the Dems will be voting twice as often.
00:35:51.320
And there's some people who are really blackpilled here.
00:35:56.440
We shouldn't vote because, you know, they're going to rig the votes.
00:36:08.840
Well, then, you know, then we won't be giving credibility to the system.
00:36:19.700
Or then you can feel high and mighty because you didn't ever fall for it?
00:36:30.460
If they were omnipotent, if they had this election totally in the bag,
00:36:34.560
they wouldn't be campaigning this desperately right now.
00:36:37.280
They wouldn't be throwing spaghetti at the wall like this.
00:36:40.260
The Democrats obviously believe there is a chance,
00:36:55.080
Meanwhile, a Democrat has just announced that she is joining the GOP.
00:37:03.800
former presidential candidate for the Democrats, Tulsi Gabbard.
00:37:08.520
And it is because of my love for our country and specifically because of the leadership that
00:37:14.500
President Trump has brought to transform the Republican Party and bring it back to the party
00:37:20.900
of the people and the party of peace that I'm proud to stand here with you today,
00:37:26.520
President Trump, and announce that I'm joining the Republican Party.
00:37:30.500
I'm joining the party of the people, the party of equality,
00:37:39.720
the party that was founded to fight against and end slavery in this country.
00:37:45.600
It is the party of common sense and the party that is led by a president
00:37:50.460
who has the courage and strength to fight for peace.
00:38:07.360
Some people, you're going to hear some malcontents who can't take yes for an answer,
00:38:13.320
who must seize defeat from the jaws of victory, who complain about this.
00:38:19.260
And they're going to complain that welcoming people like Tulsi Gabbard into the party,
00:38:25.320
He's not a Republican yet, but maybe he would become a Republican.
00:38:27.960
That that will be bad for us because it will water down what it means to be a Republican.
00:38:40.220
However, you don't actually have to choose between having a big tent and having ideological purity and philosophical consistency.
00:38:50.180
What you can do, I think, is seize on opportunities to make new friends.
00:38:57.420
Politics comes down probably in a more fundamental way, even beyond ideological disagreement.
00:39:06.780
It comes down to your allies and your opponents, people on your side, people on the other side.
00:39:11.800
But we could seize the opportunity to make new friends and then guide those friends more deeply into conservatism.
00:39:25.160
Some of you out there have been rock-ribbed since the day you were born.
00:39:30.800
At certain points, I've been a little bit squishy.
00:39:32.480
I've been a little, look, I was a libertarian at one time, okay?
00:39:36.220
I was, I've been, I've called myself fiscally conservative, socially liberal, you know, all these kind of, I'm so embarrassed of that now.
00:39:44.920
But people go through those phases, especially if you come as I do, as many of you do, from a liberal culture, in liberal places.
00:39:58.720
Maybe government spends too much money and wastes money.
00:40:04.660
And you kind of fall into a fashionable libertarianism.
00:40:13.120
Maybe, maybe the, the way that we talk about liberty is not quite right.
00:40:18.000
Maybe human nature is a little different than the libs tell us it is.
00:40:21.400
And you kind of move more deeply into conservatism.
00:40:24.700
You know, it's kind of like the Milton Friedman to Thomas Aquinas pipeline.
00:40:31.040
You know, you start out and you just, it's all.
00:40:34.660
All the kind of big government's bad or whatever, you know.
00:40:39.600
Well, because it, it actually misunderstands justice and it misunderstands human nature, which
00:40:46.280
means, oh, there is such a thing as justice, which means there has to be a just lawgiver
00:40:53.440
And man is made in the image and likeness of God.
00:40:55.500
And that means that we're reasonable and we can know certain things.
00:40:58.240
But it means that our reason is a little bit broken in this fallen world.
00:41:01.180
And it means that, well, we're not actually fundamentally individuals, you know, who fell
00:41:10.720
So actually there is such a thing as the common good, but it's not what the libs tell us
00:41:14.180
And it's not even what the libertarians tell us it is.
00:41:16.840
And then before you know it, you end up to the right of Attila the Hun.
00:41:22.140
And so I think, okay, if someone like a Tulsi Gabbard is, is still in those early stages
00:41:27.840
over here, but she's become, she's manifestly become more conservative than she was five
00:41:36.860
How about we recognize politics as the art of inclusion and recognize the politics is
00:41:41.580
also the art of the possible, the art of the second best.
00:41:44.260
And we just start to kind of do stuff with the real people that we actually need in this
00:42:00.560
The shallows are fun, but when you come into the deeper part, oh, it's even nicer.
00:42:06.680
Now, speaking of the Democrats switching sides, people like Bobby Kennedy, he's not a Republican
00:42:10.420
yet, but he just made one of the greatest posts I've seen of the entire campaign.
00:42:20.720
He says, fast food is part, no, I'm sorry, I don't mean to make, he's got a medical condition.
00:42:25.340
Fast food is a part of American culture, but that doesn't mean it has to be unhealthy
00:42:31.040
Did you know that McDonald's used to use beef tallow to make their fries from 1940 until phasing
00:42:37.360
This switch was made because saturated animal fats were thought to be unhealthy, but we have
00:42:42.200
since discovered that seed oils are one of the driving causes of the obesity epidemic.
00:42:46.280
Interestingly enough, this began to drastically rise around the same time fast food restaurants
00:42:50.180
switched from beef tallow to seed oils in their fryers.
00:42:54.080
People who enjoy a burger with fries on a night out are not to blame, and Americans should
00:42:58.780
have every right to eat out at a restaurant without being unknowingly poisoned by heavily
00:43:09.040
Some of you know, I've been on a little bit of a jihad against the seed oils.
00:43:13.560
I always thought that hippy-dippy, crunchy stuff was insane.
00:43:16.780
Sweet little Alisa got into it, and I got to tell you, as she's cooked with all the nicer,
00:43:21.400
fancy oils with the college-educated eggs and all the rest of it, I do feel better.
00:43:28.840
It turns out when you eat good foods, you actually feel better.
00:43:32.040
That used to be the left-wing position, now it's the right-wing position.
00:43:35.860
More evidence of a realignment of the parties, which is bringing people like Tulsi and Bobby
00:43:41.520
But specifically here, the beef tallow, I think it's kind of funny because Trump just did
00:43:49.720
Bobby Kennedy here saying McDonald's is really terrible because they switched from tallow to
00:43:58.180
Obviously, you have the thesis, McDonald's is delicious, Trump loves eating Big Macs all
00:44:03.480
You have the antithesis, which is Bobby Kennedy saying that seed oils are evil, used in the
00:44:10.840
The synthesis is, we need our beef tallow back, baby.
00:44:16.680
And it's really delightful because this has been a meme.
00:44:20.160
The seed oil thing, a lot of people don't, they don't actually even really care about seed
00:44:23.380
oils or whatever, they don't know anything about canola oil or whatever, but it's a meme.
00:44:28.860
It's the kind of joke and posture that we imitate because we see it in people that we
00:44:35.020
And it's an indicator of a political side and of a realignment.
00:44:45.040
And the internet meme, that little meme magic, some people call it, has made it now all the
00:44:50.000
way up to the presidential level with Bobby Kennedy pushing this and Donald Trump serving
00:44:58.080
That kind of a realignment, I think that's very healthy for our country.
00:45:05.000
We have no member block today because speaking of fries, our producers have fried the control
00:45:10.960
room, who it was actually probably the Democrats sending that digital heat seeking missile to
00:45:15.000
stop me from talking about election shenanigans.
00:45:17.760
But in any case, it's very sorry to say no membrum segmentum today.
00:45:25.600
The question everyone in America is asking, am I racist?
00:45:43.400
Get a Daily Wire Plus membership to see Am I Racist?
00:45:54.300
I've been told because I'm a white male, kind of at the top of the pile, how do I get
00:46:19.060
20 million crimes a year, 6,000, 7,000 hate crimes.
