00:00:58.120 What I most appreciate about Cabot is that, like J.D. Vance last night during Trump's acceptance

00:01:20.780 speech, when given the mic, he knows his job. I would like to correct him, though.

00:01:26.700 28 words, mostly flattering, and then kick it back to the big guy.

00:01:30.220 The one correction, though, for what Cabot said, he said he was kicking it over to the big guys.

00:01:35.000 There is only one giant guy on set. That is Dennis Prager, followed perhaps by Matt Walsh.

00:01:40.620 The rest of us very moderately.

00:01:43.360 Dennis, you would appreciate the showbiz of this joint. We decided that we were going to make this

00:01:47.600 video, right, where all the Daily Wire hosts in black and white, sort of silhouetted lighting were

00:01:52.440 going to encourage people to go and vote. It worked.

00:01:56.500 And so, clearly it worked. They lined us all up in front of the LED wall, and they framed up the

00:02:03.120 picture, and then the director came over and said, yeah, you're all too short except for Matt Walsh,

00:02:08.400 so we're going to make you stand on a box, and we're going to make you stand on a box,

00:02:12.260 and we're going to make you stand on a box. I wish you had been there so that Matt would know

00:02:15.640 the humiliating reality of being able to step onto an Apple box.

00:02:20.480 So, guys, on a scale of one to ten, how good are you feeling right now? Like, really, let's just,

00:02:24.860 like, enjoy, right? There's going to be so many more battles in the future. There's going to be

00:02:27.760 so much more to come. The lesson's just going to go away. I understand that it feels in the moment as

00:02:31.200 though, you know, the thousand-year reign has begun. But in reality, there will be battles for

00:02:35.780 tomorrow. But let's just, like, you know, take a moment to just bask in the awesomeness that is

00:02:39.500 America, because this country just kicks royal ass. I mean, seriously, the American people 0.99

00:02:43.200 stood up on their hind legs, and they said, no, we are tired of this. You have been proclaiming

00:02:49.020 that Donald Trump is not normal for eight years at this point. For eight long years,

00:02:53.520 you've been claiming that he's not normal. And what you mean by that is that he acts kind of

00:02:57.280 weird and says kind of funny things. But the actual normal that we want is, you know, like,

00:03:01.660 to be able to live with our families without you bothering us and telling us that our kids are

00:03:04.340 members of the opposite sex, and that we ought to be able to keep the property, that we build wealth, 1.00

00:03:08.560 and actually create things, and then keep the products and exchange them, and that we ought

00:03:13.080 to be able to have a safe and secure border, and that we ought to be able to have a powerful

00:03:16.960 America. That's, like, normal. Normal is what my parents wanted, what my grandparents wanted.

00:03:20.740 That's normal. And you know what? I don't care what Donald Trump says. I care what Donald Trump

00:03:24.960 does. And what Donald Trump does is he brings back the normal. And so the normies rose up yesterday

00:03:29.920 and in a fit of righteous wrath, smote down the non-believers in normiedom. And it's damned 0.97

00:03:38.320 wonderful. It really is. It just is great. It's great. I mean, I feel great. I feel like I'm on 0.94

00:03:44.960 cloud nine. It also could be slightly sleep deprivation because two hours, about 48 in the

00:03:50.780 last 48 hours. But to me, and we talked about this last night, but what I keep coming back to is that

00:03:56.940 this really feels like just a total rejection of the leftist project on pretty much every count,

00:04:07.400 certainly on all the big counts. Abortion, DEI, trans, the economy, crime, immigration. 0.75

00:04:17.500 This was just a total rejection of the leftist position and all that. Now, you hesitate to say

00:04:21.320 that because it makes it sound like, well, it's over. We can all go home. The fight's over. Of course,

00:04:25.320 it's not. Now, it's just a matter of, well, we know we have a winning argument on all of these

00:04:32.560 things. We have the winning argument. But to translate the winning argument into actual victory

00:04:39.260 beyond this election, legislative victories, policy victories, that becomes the project.

00:04:44.500 Can I just say before everybody else jumps in, I want to give a special shout out to Matt Walsh

00:04:47.980 because I was talking with Jeremy and Dennis a little bit earlier. Listen, everybody at this

00:04:52.280 company has been working unbelievably hard to make things like this happen. That's what we do here,

00:04:55.880 which is why you should, in fact, go subscribe and join us. 47% off with code Trump because he's the

00:05:01.220 47th president, thank God. But Matt's three big sort of hits over the course of the past three,

00:05:07.380 four years. What is a woman which made the trans issue absolutely toxic to the left and was used in 1.00

00:05:12.640 every single major campaign this election cycle? The Budweiser boycott, which was the American people

00:05:17.860 saying, you are not allowed to just leverage down on us a bunch of trash that we don't want,

00:05:22.900 and then combine that with what you just did with Am I Racist, where you completely exposed DEI for the 0.88

00:05:29.120 grift that it is, and you were knocking out the legs of their stool. And those are all major,

00:05:34.400 major components of what just happened to the Democratic Party last night. So a special shout

00:05:38.280 out to Matt who's worked hard. And of course, the entire company, which, I mean, let's be real about

00:05:41.820 this. Only Jeremy Boring would have made those films and would have produced those films.

00:05:46.580 Only I would have signed off at a very tangential level on those films and let everybody else do

00:05:51.640 the work and then, you know, reap the benefits, which is what I do here. But Matt, like really

00:05:57.120 spectacular job on that. I'd like, if I may, I want to describe, I analyze my own self. So last night to

00:06:06.140 my shock, I didn't feel happiness. I felt overwhelmingly shock and relief. Today, it's all happiness. But I

00:06:18.340 figured out why, and I gave this analogy on my radio show. If you see a drunk driver just about to hurt a

00:06:27.440 loved one, maybe kill them or certainly terribly injured them at minimal, and then at the last

00:06:34.540 moment, it hits a lamppost, the drunk driver hits a lamppost, then what do you feel? You don't feel 0.97

00:06:43.480 elation at that moment. You feel shock and relief. The drunk driver is the left. The lamppost is the

00:06:51.240 American people. The analogy to me is perfect. That's what happened. And that's why I understand 0.97

00:06:57.840 my first reaction was not, wow, terrific. You're beloved. My country is my beloved, just as my

00:07:06.340 family, believe it or not. I mean, if I don't have my country, yes, it's wonderful to still have your

00:07:11.960 family, but people had their families in the Soviet Union. It didn't compensate for what they had there.

00:07:18.580 So that is my transition from relief to happiness, like the drunk driver.

00:07:27.900 I think that's beautiful. I think it is a perfect analogy. And when I, you know, every time that I've

00:07:33.180 been drunk and almost about to hit the lamppost, I have nowhere to go with that because like Matt

00:07:38.580 Walsh, I slept two hours, so I can't finish any joke. Instead, I'm going to kick this thing over to

00:07:43.000 our dear friend, host of The Megyn Kelly Show, I think one of the most important shows that is not

00:07:47.600 on the Daily Wire. And always a pleasure to have here with us, Megyn Kelly.

00:07:52.900 Hey guys, how's it going?

00:07:54.640 Did you feel relief or did you feel happiness?

00:07:58.800 Joy, coming in the morning.

00:08:02.040 Coming in the morning.

00:08:04.400 I felt both, but I'm more in the happiness camp. I just feel like the people who are chopping up our

00:08:11.820 children and opening our border and allowing these illegals to kill our young women are evil 1.00

00:08:17.500 and must be stopped. They absolutely have to be fought and defeated. We tried being nice. 0.99

00:08:23.860 They didn't listen. And therefore, it was hand-to-hand combat. And we won. We won.

00:08:29.220 And so I feel incredibly gratified and hopeful about the fact that that nonsense is going to stop

00:08:35.820 and soon. And we finally have a powerful warrior in the top position. And there's actual real agenda

00:08:42.160 items he can do to stop those things I just mentioned.

00:08:45.500 You know, Megyn, unlike the rest of us who are mostly partisan hacks, if I'm being honest,

00:08:49.580 you're an actual journalist. And yet, you did something that I don't think you've ever done in

00:08:53.900 your career. And you came out and endorsed Donald Trump, spoke at his final rally, if I'm not mistaken,

00:08:58.620 right before on the eve of the election. What went into making that decision? And what was it like,

00:09:04.200 you know, being in a friendly position with someone with whom you had so publicly sparred in the past?

00:09:10.000 Yeah, we've had our ups and downs, Trump and I. But, you know, it's complicated, as I always say,

00:09:14.480 because I am not just a booster of his. You know, I am a journalist. And so when he does stuff that I

00:09:19.580 disagree with or that, you know, I feel an obligation to critique, I do it. And for some reason,

00:09:24.800 I get under his skin. You know, he doesn't like it when I critique him. And that's fine. I understand it.

00:09:29.820 That's part of my business. So it's been, you know, rocky at times, including in the past year.

00:09:34.820 But net net, he knows I'm a supporter of his. And I know he's going to do controversial things and

00:09:41.000 attack me if I, quote, attack him. That's how he sees it. Nonetheless, none of that matters. You know,

00:09:45.220 this is about the country, the future of our country. And he there's there's just no question.

00:09:49.960 He's the he's the man for the job right now, even even if they had a normal Democrat, I would have

00:09:53.860 felt that very clearly. He's he's a fighter. And that's exactly what we need. That bloodied

00:09:58.480 in danger guy who stands up there with a fist is exactly what we need to fight these people who are

00:10:03.540 not just notwithstanding what you heard this morning and morning, Joe, going to roll over on

00:10:08.860 any of their radical agenda. They're not that their leftist based base will not allow it.

00:10:14.520 They're too beholden to them. I mean, I think Matt Walsh knows this firsthand. They

00:10:19.560 these little darlings are really important to them. They are not going to let go of the trans 1.00

00:10:24.120 radical ideology. They are not going to let Rachel Levine go into the night and be forgotten.

00:10:29.200 This stuff matters to them. So we need that guy. We need the guy who stood by Brett Kavanaugh. We

00:10:33.680 need the guy who got up when shot. And so if for me, it was a no brainer ultimately when when asked,

00:10:38.520 like, do I show up there and support him on his last night with the message in particular to women

00:10:43.940 who might be gettable for Donald Trump, but on the fence about him still and considering,

00:10:49.860 can I handle him for four more years? And I just felt like the second point is they'd been so

00:10:54.820 overwhelmed. They'd been deluged with information about how if you're a good woman, if you care about

00:11:00.400 women's rights, there's only one clear choice and it's her. And I felt like being somebody who is more,

00:11:07.200 you know, middle of the road in her politics, I could speak to them. I could I could speak their

00:11:11.480 language to convince them as to why there is only one clear choice. And it's him, not her.

00:11:17.960 Well, I'm glad that you were able to have that conversation. Obviously, Trump actually managed

00:11:21.820 to pick up a few points with women in the election, which is sort of to everyone's great surprise. And 0.94

00:11:26.100 I don't think you obviously played some role in that. And I think it's very brave of you to show

00:11:31.020 your shoulders here. Now that the Reich has begun, obviously, it's all handmaid's tales from now on. 0.88

00:11:35.960 Megan, where's your bonnet? I don't see any bonnet on you. 0.81

00:11:38.760 Megan, you know, I want to get your take on sort of the left's reaction to this. So last night we

00:11:44.420 were having a discussion as this all emerged and we were experiencing the sheer joy and wonder of

00:11:49.640 the evening as to how they were actually going to react as who they were going to blame.

00:11:54.060 My suggestion, because as always, I was wise and brilliant, was that they would blame the American

00:11:57.420 people. And they promptly have been doing just that. And it feels like this election has finally

00:12:03.080 loosed the fetters upon them. And they are now finally just going to say the thing they've always

00:12:07.000 wanted to say about the American people, which is that we're a bunch of rubes and hicks and horrible 0.99

00:12:11.100 people. And it's not about social media. It's not about the Russians. It's just about us. So it feels 0.98

00:12:15.180 like they're just going deeper into the crevasse. I mean, we've had so many examples of that this

00:12:20.940 morning. They, of course, have been railing about these damn Latinos who for years now they've been 0.99

00:12:25.480 calling white adjacent as they express their conservatism. And so they've got to be written 1.00

00:12:30.140 off because they are a minority group, but it's not OK because they're not pro Democrat. And, you know,

00:12:34.640 that can kick you out of the cool club. And suddenly you're white adjacent. And that means 0.97

00:12:38.040 I guess you're going to get mocked on The View every day. Then speaking of The View,

00:12:42.440 you had Sonny Hostin come out today and rail on these damn uneducated people who are to blame 1.00

00:12:49.780 for her loss. They're uneducated. And of course, by that, what she means is non-college educated, 1.00

00:12:55.360 which in her elite world, she went to Harvard. Her son's at Harvard.

00:12:59.700 Sonny Hostin went to Harvard? 1.00

00:13:00.520 You're dumb. 1.00

00:13:01.640 What the? Really? 1.00

00:13:03.320 Pretty sure she went to Harvard.

00:13:05.420 Yeah.

00:13:05.700 No.

00:13:06.420 I could be wrong on law school. But her son is definitely at Harvard. And her daughter's

00:13:10.240 probably there. And she's railing today about her daughters, how her daughter has less civil 0.86

00:13:13.780 rights than she had. Why again? You live in New York. You can get an abortion one day before birth. 1.00

00:13:20.600 Well, I don't know what she's referring to, but she's deeply concerned about the civil rights of her 0.79

00:13:25.080 child and our country. And they are all multimillionaires, including Sonny and her

00:13:30.200 daughter. And they live in a state that looks like Mar-a-Lago. But she wants to go out there

00:13:34.740 and cry like a victim, just like we saw from Michelle Obama and Beyonce and J-Lo and Oprah,

00:13:42.620 who have been made billionaires in some cases from this country. But when we don't do what they say,

00:13:49.440 we have to be berated for our racism, our sexism, our internalized misogyny, take your pick.

00:13:56.300 I'm just glad that Michelle Obama will have exactly one single moment in her entire life

00:14:01.480 when she was proud of this country.

00:14:05.180 She can hold on to something.

00:14:08.120 Well, I mean, the celebrity factor was so annoying throughout the whole thing,

00:14:11.880 and it didn't work for them. And they don't learn. They did this with Hillary Clinton.

00:14:15.380 That, you know, who on the Democratic side didn't stop to say, who is Trump doing well with? Oh,

00:14:22.160 it's the working class across all races. Well, how can we reach them? Oh, I've got it.

00:14:27.920 Taylor Swift. She's going to be able to rule in these white working class guys, these Hispanic guys 1.00

00:14:32.860 who are feeling, absolutely not. They didn't even try. They're just so drunk on celebrity

00:14:37.840 that they did the trick they always do.

00:14:39.920 At least Taylor Swift is genuinely beloved and talented. I don't understand

00:14:43.800 how we live in a time where Cardi B can be invited by the sitting vice president of the United States

00:14:50.620 to address her supporters and give an endorsement. I mean, it's like-

00:14:55.080 What is Cardi B famous for doing?

00:14:57.480 Ben, your soul sister-

00:14:58.440 All my hilarious responses to that are unspeakable, so I-

00:15:01.540 Yeah, I actually can't-

00:15:02.640 She teaches English as a second language.

00:15:04.780 She literally tweeted out something like, what does pee taste like? And then she gets invited

00:15:11.940 to go speak for Kamala Harris. I have a Kamala Harris joke here, but I cannot say it.

00:15:16.480 Yeah, you can't say it.

00:15:17.140 No, no, no.

00:15:17.600 In the last, like, two days of the campaign, Kamala also had, I believe it was Jennifer Lopez, 1.00

00:15:24.180 Christina Aguilera, and the rapper Fat Joe, which are really powerful celebrity endorsements

00:15:31.300 in the year 2002. And that's what she, that was kind of her closing, that was her close,

00:15:36.140 her closing argument.

00:15:36.740 Well, that was what happened.

00:15:38.940 Sorry, go on, Megan.

00:15:39.540 J-Lo was out there like, I want to speak to Latinos and how terrible what they said about

00:15:45.220 Puerto Rico was and going on. Meanwhile, that didn't move the needle at all. This is how

00:15:49.320 out of touch they are. And I think about the Oprah. Remember the Oprah round table?

00:15:52.960 I do wonder with J-Lo, I do wonder if people looked at her past judgments with men,

00:15:57.260 like P. Diddy, who she dated, and went, maybe she makes bad decisions about men kind of generally.

00:16:04.180 I mean, when you're just going through the white party list for your final reach out for

00:16:07.300 the campaign, it feels not like a great thing, probably.

00:16:10.500 Exactly right. I mean, not to mention, I don't like bringing people's kids into it,

00:16:14.120 but she's obviously got a kid who is having identity issues. She's got a stepkid who's having

00:16:19.980 identity issues. This is no accident. You know, they live in this world in which identity is

00:16:24.240 everything. It gets prized. It gets pushed. They get social rewards for having said kids.

00:16:29.460 They're conducting social experiments on their own children. Then they want to get out there and

00:16:33.420 lecture us about the future of the country. And I'm so thrilled that America saw right through this

00:16:39.800 BS. And not only did they see through it, it was definitely one of the issues that rose to the top of

00:16:45.180 this campaign, and it made people vote.

00:16:47.480 Megyn Kelly, thank you very much for spending some time with us on this joyous day.

00:16:51.420 By the way, did I promise, did I promise I would take a drink?

00:16:56.580 Yes.

00:16:57.440 So is this the time to do that?

00:16:59.960 It is.

00:17:00.280 I was going to say this.

00:17:00.980 So I think people need to understand the last time I had whiskey, I literally don't remember.

00:17:06.500 I'm not opposed to it. I don't, I love tobacco.

00:17:09.440 You won't remember this time either.

00:17:10.260 Not with this whiskey.

00:17:11.800 Dennis, I would hate to make you drink alone.

00:17:14.280 I understand. So what are you giving me so I can tell people what I had?

00:17:18.240 A little Balvenie 12, double wood.

00:17:20.800 Balvenie 12?

00:17:21.780 Yeah.

00:17:22.260 Oh, Balvenie.

00:17:23.620 This is very nice. We were going to save it.

00:17:24.600 Sounds like a shampoo to me. I don't understand. I don't bet.

00:17:27.280 Balvenie 12.

00:17:27.380 You better than Balvenie 11.

00:17:28.740 All right, what is that? Is it a scotch? What is it?

00:17:30.960 Yes, it's a single malt.

00:17:32.460 Do you like drinking? Oh, you don't either?

00:17:34.740 We were going to save this.

00:17:36.660 Yeah, for what?

00:17:37.820 Well, let's let the people at home see this great moment from last night's show,

00:17:42.400 where we learned that Dennis had not had a drink in some of our lifetimes.

00:17:49.440 Here's my vow then. If Trump wins, I will drink anything you give me,

00:17:56.240 which is more than I have drunk in 50 years. I love tobacco. I don't like alcohol.

00:18:03.580 I will drink.

00:18:04.280 You will raise a glass.

00:18:05.520 There's no question about it.

00:18:07.400 Well, I'm really on tape here, yeah. Okay, I give you...

00:18:14.340 You're a man of your word.

00:18:15.700 I am a man of my word. So, I do know this question. What proof is it?

00:18:20.260 It's about 600 proof, I think.

00:18:22.520 You know, you're a savior. That was cruel.

00:18:27.000 You'll find out soon enough.

00:18:28.720 This is to make it masculine and official.

00:18:31.880 Wow.

00:18:33.560 That is a form of Harrison.

00:18:35.140 Oh, I get an umbrella. That is cool.

00:18:38.680 A chin-chin?

00:18:39.820 Yes, that is correct.

00:18:41.320 If I have to drink, it's with you guys I want to do it.

00:18:45.340 All right. You don't drink?

00:18:47.200 I do, but not at this hour.

00:18:49.200 Not at this hour, okay.

00:18:51.040 By the way, do you all love this? I'm just curious.

00:18:53.680 I don't know where you did that.

00:18:54.760 Yeah, okay.

00:18:55.560 I basically don't drink.

00:18:57.400 You too?

00:18:58.280 I basically don't drink, but I drink. I'll have a drink.

00:19:00.460 Okay, here we go.

00:19:01.280 And I drink for the two of us, actually, so it balances out.

00:19:03.720 You take both glasses.

00:19:04.420 I do. I can't wait for Dennis to start speaking in cursive during Kamala's speech.

00:19:09.820 It's tasty.

00:19:10.980 It is tasty.

00:19:11.920 This is a letdown, because the setup was you would drink anything we hand to you.

00:19:16.040 Yeah.

00:19:16.700 Oh, you're getting a nice scotch.

00:19:18.560 Oh, yeah.

00:19:19.080 What is this?

00:19:19.620 You're lucky he didn't drink the juice.

00:19:20.280 Where his mind went is really it.

00:19:22.540 I mean, the man who exposes DEI.

00:19:26.540 They are setting up.

00:19:29.000 No, I'm not joking.

00:19:30.540 No.

00:19:30.800 This, it's tasty.

00:19:32.800 We just got him off the wagon for the first time in day.

00:19:35.300 Dennis is going to end up in a gutter now.

00:19:36.740 I was going to say.

00:19:38.160 So, seriously, what is it known?

00:19:40.100 Is it a scotch?

00:19:40.960 Is it a what is it?

00:19:41.600 Single malt scotch.

00:19:43.220 Single malt scotch.

00:19:44.260 My son loves it.

00:19:45.360 My father loved it.

00:19:46.600 I am the black sheep in my family.

00:19:48.620 Dennis, if you drink any more, you'll be eligible to run for president as the vice president of Biden's.

00:19:54.780 I can't believe I'm enjoying it.

00:19:56.640 I can't believe it.

00:19:57.720 And by the way, Dennis, you think your first glass is good?

00:20:00.500 The third and fourth glass.

00:20:02.080 The seventh is the best one.

00:20:04.420 They're over at Howard University right now.

00:20:05.840 So, the best is this with the cigar.

00:20:07.200 Where's the story with the cigars?

00:20:08.720 I put in an order for cigars.

00:20:10.920 There will be cigars.

00:20:12.320 Okay.

00:20:12.580 Listen, this is what happens when you want to surprise Dennis Prager with a little pink umbrella.

00:20:19.120 I specifically told the team to have all this ready for after the concession speech.

00:20:23.640 We're going to have a nice cigar.

00:20:25.160 Oh, I blew it by mentioning.

00:20:27.100 You blew it.

00:20:27.760 I mean, it's fine.

00:20:28.500 I'm sorry.

00:20:29.380 Well, you should have told me.

00:20:31.740 That would have helped.

00:20:33.240 I will say that while we did think about funny things to make you drink, there's nothing.

00:20:37.640 I who do not drink.

00:20:38.800 Essentially, I'm not a teetotaler, but you can see teetotaling from where I am.

00:20:43.000 But even I will say that on a day like today, whiskey has never tasted better.

00:20:46.880 Yes.

00:20:47.380 That's right.

00:20:48.060 Maybe that's a factor in why I'm liking it.

00:20:50.640 Although I am starting to feel a little squirreled.

00:20:53.220 In the celebratory spirit, you might have noticed I'm wearing a sort of wide late 90s tie.

00:20:59.760 That is because my mother gave me this tie.

00:21:02.780 I think about 2003.

00:21:05.500 I'm not bragging or nothing.

00:21:07.820 It is a part of the official Donald J. Trump tie collection.

00:21:12.140 There you go.

00:21:12.980 I don't know where she got it.

00:21:14.600 It might have been at TJ Maxx.

00:21:15.800 It might have been at Macy's.

00:21:16.540 I don't know.

00:21:17.120 I have had it in my closet for about 20 years.

00:21:19.640 It's obviously held up very well, as has the president.

00:21:21.920 And I figure if one does not wear the DJT tie today, because I actually feel real vindicated

00:21:30.400 about this whole thing.

00:21:32.240 You know, many people tolerate Trump.

00:21:35.780 They say, I don't like his tweets or whatever, but I like his policy.

00:21:39.080 I like the guy, especially being a New Yorker.

00:21:41.340 I like the guy.

00:21:42.320 And so I've thought he's actually a pretty good candidate.

00:21:45.540 And people say he's a terrible candidate, but, you know, he somehow makes it across.

00:21:49.760 I thought he was a pretty good candidate.

00:21:51.180 And then 2020 happened.

00:21:53.260 I said, OK, I don't know.

00:21:54.180 Maybe we'll see.

00:21:55.620 The fact that this guy won the Electoral College by a lot, that he won the popular vote,

00:22:01.500 that he assembled this coalition that is unlike a coalition that any Republican has done

00:22:06.840 in my lifetime, at least.

00:22:09.100 I think we have to conclude he's a good candidate.

00:22:12.320 The guy, he did something.

00:22:13.640 He's a political genius.

00:22:14.620 He's a political genius.

00:22:16.700 And he makes nice times.

00:22:17.680 It's just a weird form of genius.

00:22:19.240 That's all.

00:22:19.560 It's hard to, you know.

00:22:20.220 I mean, geniuses do things that you've never seen before, and they break all the rules,

00:22:23.780 and sometimes they get a problem.

00:22:24.440 I don't think that 20, I don't believe that in 2016, Donald Trump did anything particularly

00:22:28.560 spectacular.

00:22:29.840 I think that Hillary Clinton did something spectacular.

00:22:31.980 She failed spectacular.

00:22:33.220 Being a terrible candidate.

00:22:34.420 That's right.

00:22:34.740 Which is why he was, as I've said before, why he was able to win with fewer votes, say,

00:22:38.060 in Wisconsin than Mitt Romney lost Wisconsin with, right?

00:22:42.720 But what you cannot deny is someone then coming back and winning not only an overwhelming majority

00:22:50.260 in the electoral college, but also winning the popular vote.

00:22:52.560 And what that tells you is that while what Trump did in 2016 may or may not have been spectacular,

00:22:57.820 what he did in 2024 is a true feat of political.

00:23:02.220 Indisputable.

00:23:02.580 Only the greatest politicians are able to accomplish what he just accomplished.

00:23:06.200 I shouldn't say he's a political genius.

00:23:07.780 He has a genius that he can look at something.

00:23:10.620 He's like a guy who can look at the Rubik's Cube of life and solve it.

00:23:14.300 You know, he just does it.

00:23:16.080 I've seen him do it again and again, and you can see him shift.

00:23:19.340 Almost when he's talking, you can see him.

00:23:21.220 You read the field and all this stuff, and he just figured it out.

00:23:23.920 And I think, by the way, I just want to add this, throw this out there.

00:23:26.880 I think it's going to be a great presidency.

00:23:28.760 I think it's going to be the best second term we've ever seen because he has actually taken

00:23:33.000 four years.

00:23:33.980 God has arranged it, so he's taken four years to learn what he needed, what he did wrong

00:23:38.060 and what he's going to do.

00:23:38.760 There's another thing to add there, which is in 2020, if he had won, he would have been

00:23:42.860 saddled to the Democratic Congress.

00:23:44.900 In 2024, he has an overwhelmingly Republican Senate.

00:23:48.700 The Republicans are going to take the House.

00:23:50.120 He's actually going to have a majority that he can work with.

00:23:52.040 And if you want more good news, because, you know, I bear glad, I bring glad tidings.

00:23:56.660 The Electoral College, I've mentioned this before, that they screwed up the census in

00:24:03.620 2020.

00:24:04.060 There are actual extra votes in the South that were not properly counted.

00:24:07.560 I am calling right now on the Congress of the United States, the President of the United

00:24:11.260 States, to pass legislation that allows for the recapitulation of the census figures sufficient

00:24:18.720 so that in the 2028 election, those votes actually shift to the states where they belong

00:24:23.000 because that's where those votes belong, people being disenfranchised right now in Florida,

00:24:27.180 people being disenfranchised right now in Texas because the count is not correct.

00:24:31.020 And then in 2030, there's going to be another census.

00:24:33.120 And if that census goes how people think that census is going to go, 12 Electoral College

00:24:37.360 votes are going to shift from blue states to deep red states.

00:24:41.080 None of those are in the Rust Belt.

00:24:42.500 That is all the states, that's three to Florida, that's four to Texas, that's one to Arizona,

00:24:48.520 that's one to Idaho, that's, I believe, one to Georgia.

00:24:53.860 So what do you think the rate, less in California, coming from California.

00:24:56.540 Five fewer in California, three fewer in New York.

00:24:58.820 What do you think the Democrats are going to do, try to do about that?

00:25:01.520 Because there's no way they can just sit and allow that to happen.

00:25:03.940 So what's their move?

00:25:05.640 I mean, I think they just lose, frankly.

00:25:08.380 I mean, I don't.

00:25:08.860 Well, I think their move was the open border.

00:25:11.000 Right.

00:25:11.920 And I think that they do not.

00:25:14.420 Here's the thing.

00:25:15.320 I don't see what their next move is.

00:25:16.940 Because the problem for them is that Donald Trump occupied the other half of the agenda, right?

00:25:22.020 So if their agenda was normally two things, right? 0.99

00:25:24.000 One was the kind of woke, racialist, intersectional crap. 0.96

00:25:27.280 And then one of it was the sort of Bernie Sanders, socialistic redistributionist stuff. 0.95

00:25:31.600 The truth is that there's some crossover between the stuff that Trump has said about entitlements

00:25:35.480 and where Bernie Sanders is on entitlements.

00:25:37.120 Like the most robust arguments that have been used against Republicans in my lifetime

00:25:40.740 on the financial stuff where Paul Ryan's shoving granny off the cliff and all the rest of it. 0.99

00:25:44.160 You can't use that on Trump.

00:25:45.420 And you're not going to be able to use it on vans because the Republican Party has basically said,

00:25:48.580 all right, you guys want to ride across the cliff?

00:25:50.520 Like, we can't stop you.

00:25:52.060 So I guess that's the way it's going to go.

00:25:53.620 And with that off the table, by the way, abortion is off the table, too.

00:25:57.440 I'm pointing this out right now.

00:25:58.500 Abortion is a live issue in this election.

00:25:59.900 It will not be a live issue in twenty twenty eight.

00:26:01.860 And the reason it will not be a live issue in twenty twenty eight is every state will

00:26:04.540 have already picked the abortion regime that it actually wants.

00:26:07.860 And the Supreme Court will have already spoken by twenty twenty eight and said there cannot

00:26:11.000 be widespread federal legislation on abortion, which means it will be relegated back to the

00:26:15.900 states.

00:26:16.560 And by the way, you saw some of this last night, right?

00:26:17.920 So, for example, Missouri did pass a referendum that was a pro-abortion referendum in Missouri

00:26:22.000 and Missouri went by 10 points to Donald Trump.

00:26:24.380 So people are already shifting away from thinking of their congressperson, senators and presidents

00:26:28.920 as people with a fundamental task on abortion.

00:26:31.160 They're thinking of their governors and their state legislatures as the people with the fundamental

00:26:34.080 task on abortion.

00:26:34.920 So you take abortion away from the Democrats on the federal level.

00:26:37.100 You take entitlements away from Democrats on the federal level.

00:26:39.460 What precisely do they have?

00:26:40.940 Higher taxes and weak foreign policy and an open border?

00:26:43.680 What's the agenda?

00:26:44.720 Those are like the three least popular.

00:26:46.640 I don't understand what you're missing about joy, brat and vibe.

00:26:50.800 You know, another thing, if Trump had won in 2020, he still would have had COVID and they

00:26:57.580 still would have had COVID to beat him up with.

00:26:59.520 Yeah.

00:26:59.680 You know, it was still this it was right in the middle.

00:27:01.760 And he would have had to deal with inflation that was being put.

00:27:04.360 It was spending that was being pushed by Democrats, but Republicans led it through or didn't have

00:27:08.800 the strength to stop it.

00:27:09.440 Although Biden amped it up.

00:27:10.580 Biden amped it up with the inflation reduction.

00:27:12.580 The inflation reduction.

00:27:13.040 Increased inflation.

00:27:13.920 My favorite name.

00:27:14.960 Yeah.

00:27:15.040 But but he he would have been dealing with a lot of economic challenges that he well,

00:27:19.240 part of the grace that's obviously the country received enormous mercy from God here.

00:27:24.220 But so so did Donald Trump because Donald Trump deserves a lot of blame for what happened in

00:27:29.900 2020.

00:27:30.920 You know, COVID isn't just a thing that happened to Donald Trump, although certainly it was

00:27:35.020 weaponized against Donald Trump by not just the domestic left, but I think even the global

00:27:39.540 left.

00:27:39.840 But also the worst aspects of Donald Trump's presidency were his handling of COVID.

00:27:45.520 And in a way, God spared him from having to be the one who paid the immediate price for

00:27:49.960 those policies that he allowed to happen.

00:27:51.420 I mean, he surrendered the country to Anthony Fauci for months and months and months.

00:27:54.900 You know, although although you're you're right, I think you're too hard on him since every

00:28:00.000 other Western leader did the same thing except Sweden, but I don't think this is fair.

00:28:06.380 I think that we should hold Donald Trump to a high standard.

00:28:09.400 I don't think we should hold him to no standard.

00:28:11.380 Donald Trump.

00:28:11.760 Hold on.

00:28:12.400 Donald Trump doesn't purport to be like every other Western leader.

00:28:15.880 He purports to be the one of one, the wrecking ball, the guy who can't be pushed around, 0.97

00:28:20.080 the guy who sees through the bull crap, the guy who doesn't buy the conspiracies. 0.96

00:28:23.540 And I would further say that when we point to the way that the global Western leaders 0.97

00:28:28.720 responded to COVID, I believe that a large portion of what originally inspired their response

00:28:33.960 was attempting to defeat Donald Trump, meaning that I even think that the heads of states

00:28:37.940 of other nations were engaged in some level in a try to defeat Donald Trump because he 0.84

00:28:43.260 had made them all crazy.

00:28:45.540 And when Donald Trump gave his, we're going to reopen on Easter Sunday speech, which was

00:28:50.600 basically America will rise again on the day that Christ rose.

00:28:53.960 It was one of the great speeches, I believe, in American presidential history.

00:28:58.560 Had he done it, I would have voted four times for him.

00:29:01.700 I agree with you.

00:29:03.020 He didn't.

00:29:03.360 I agree with you.

00:29:04.640 I don't think he handled it well.

00:29:05.840 I'm not sure.

00:29:06.940 Again, I just think you're being too hard on him.

00:29:08.620 There was this thing.

00:29:10.160 You know, who would you listen to if a plague came through?

00:29:13.880 Literally last night, though, we were saying that maybe he shouldn't have gone to war in

00:29:17.200 Afghanistan when literally any president of the United States, left, right, center, RFK

00:29:22.500 Jr., Ron Paul would have bombed Afghanistan over 9-11.

00:29:25.600 Not Ron Paul, but all the other ones.

00:29:26.880 First, I agree that Trump did the wrong thing, but also, George W. Bush had a freedom agenda

00:29:35.560 for the Middle East, which was a big mistake.

00:29:37.880 George W. Bush developed a freedom agenda for the Middle East after 9-11 and the realization

00:29:43.880 that we had to go to war in Afghanistan.

00:29:45.420 That's what I'm saying.

00:29:46.060 But anyone would have gone to war in Afghanistan.

00:29:47.840 Hold on.

00:29:48.820 Donald Trump would go to war in Afghanistan if they knocked down the Twin Towers.

00:29:51.560 I think that you're arguing past each other just a little bit in the sense that whether

00:29:55.180 it's not a matter of blame.

00:29:56.980 The reality is that bad decisions were made during 2020 by President Trump, decisions

00:30:01.320 that none of us liked.

00:30:02.880 He got a reprieve by the American people.

00:30:05.220 That's correct, yes, yes.

00:30:05.700 The American people were giving Donald Trump a lot of credit, and he deserves an enormous

00:30:08.960 amount of credit, right?

00:30:09.680 I mean, I really think that, I mean, I read the famous Teddy Roosevelt quote on the air today

00:30:14.420 about the man in the arena, right?

00:30:15.520 I mean, that really is Donald Trump.

00:30:16.980 He deserves an enormous amount of credit.

00:30:18.380 The people who deserve the credit are the people who voted for Donald Trump.

00:30:21.080 The people who showed up in droves to vote for Donald Trump because they rejected all 0.99

00:30:25.700 the things that they were being told about themselves and about their country.

00:30:28.900 Now, there are a lot of people, I mentioned this before, but Sam Harris and I had this

00:30:32.620 conversation about Trump versus Kamala, and he was saying, ah, on character grounds, don't

00:30:36.640 you care about the character of the president?

00:30:37.980 And said, you know what I really care about?

00:30:39.560 I care about the character of the American people.

00:30:41.900 And I care less about the character of the president of the United States.

00:30:44.340 What I want from the president of the United States is to fix the toilet.

00:30:46.300 I care a lot about the character of the American people.

00:30:48.680 And it says something deep and abidingly true about the character of the American people.

00:30:52.340 That they were willing to stand up in the face of a tsunami of lies about Donald Trump,

00:30:56.580 a blizzard of lies, unlike anything I've ever seen in my lifetime.

00:30:59.700 The last month of this campaign alone was just lie after lie after lie.

00:31:03.000 A tsunami of lies, you don't even need to add about Donald Trump.

00:31:06.700 They stood up against the tsunami of lies.

00:31:09.600 This is what, I am convinced that they're charged that Trump always lies.

00:31:14.300 And the Washington Post, which is almost defunct, listed 2,000 lies, allegedly.

00:31:22.360 But name one lie of Donald Trump that compares to the Russian collusion with the Trump campaign lie.

00:31:30.700 Name one that compares to men give birth. 0.99

00:31:34.580 I mean, the list of lies from the left is so enormous.

00:31:39.240 51 heads of intelligence said that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation.

00:31:47.220 By the way, many of those were actively in the government.

00:31:51.080 Yes.

00:31:51.640 Which is treason.

00:31:52.880 But this is sort of why I totally see your point, Ben, that, you know, in answer to a Sam Harris of the world,

00:31:58.740 you can say, look, I don't really care about the politicians as individuals.

00:32:01.740 I care about what they represent and the people who support them.

00:32:04.420 But I also think we don't have to concede the point.

00:32:07.160 Donald Trump has much better character than Kamala Harris and then Joe Biden.

00:32:11.140 That's right.

00:32:11.680 And then any of these Democrats.

00:32:12.580 That's correct.

00:32:13.280 I agree with that.

00:32:13.920 But the point that I was making is, because I'm trying to argue in that case to the median voter who's looking at this

00:32:18.660 and may have problems with how Donald Trump acts on the public stage.

00:32:21.340 Yeah.

00:32:21.720 But, I mean, I started that little speech right there by saying that he is the man in the arena.

00:32:26.880 Yeah.

00:32:27.000 Okay, the thing is, as I said yesterday, I'll go back to it, the best biblical analog to Donald Trump is not King David, it is Noah.

00:32:36.580 He is a man for the time.

00:32:38.740 He is a complete man.

00:32:40.740 That's great.

00:32:41.460 He's Ishtadig Tamim Bedorotav, right?

00:32:44.640 In his generation, he is a complete person in his generation.

00:32:48.620 Okay, it's a flood generation.

00:32:49.620 In a flood generation, you need a man who builds an ark. 0.99

00:32:51.860 Donald Trump is a man who builds the ark, and then the floodwaters recede, and then he goes out.

00:32:56.260 And guess what? 0.99

00:32:56.760 If you read the story of Noah, he does some pretty bad crap right after that.

00:32:59.560 But the reality is, he was Ishtadig Tamim complete Hayab Bedorotav, right? 0.75

00:33:05.080 In his generation. 0.68

00:33:05.920 He's built for the, this is a time built for Donald Trump.

00:33:08.600 Donald Trump is a man built for his time.

00:33:10.160 And this is, it's times that make great leaders, okay?

00:33:12.780 Abraham Lincoln in 1830 is not a great leader.

00:33:14.940 Right.

00:33:15.100 And Winston Churchill in 1920 is not a great leader.

00:33:17.640 I mean, he's out of government by 1920.

00:33:18.820 And Bibi Netanyahu, five years ago, is, you know, in trouble.

00:33:23.420 And now he's a man for his, like, great leaders are made by the time in which they live.

00:33:27.700 And this time demanded Donald Trump, and Donald Trump rose to be the man for that time.

00:33:31.360 We're moments away from Vice President Kamala Harris walking out to hopefully speed us some delicious leftist tears.

00:33:37.480 In the meantime, we have Daily Wire's very own Spencer Lindquist at Howard University, where the Vice President is about to speak.

00:33:44.120 Spencer, how are things going over there?

00:33:45.280 Well, that's right.

00:33:48.240 So last night in the early hours of the night, it was very optimistic.

00:33:51.600 There was music pumping.

00:33:52.980 People were excited.

00:33:54.100 And we saw that start to die down, especially when North Carolina was called for Trump.

00:33:58.760 Tonight really is nothing like last night in those early hours.

00:34:02.080 The crowd has probably halved.

00:34:03.540 Maybe I'd say 30 or 40 percent of the people that were here last night are now here.

00:34:07.280 We've got shots of virtually empty bleachers.

00:34:10.220 And I'm seeing, you know, very sad faces, people giving each other hugs

00:34:13.320 and just patiently waiting for Harris to take the stage.

00:34:17.540 So has anything burned down yet?

00:34:19.240 I mean, that's the real question.

00:34:20.220 When do they start burning stuff?

00:34:21.240 Or have they been so neutered by President Trump, who has saved all the dogs and the cats in Springfield, by the way?

00:34:27.540 Have they been so neutered that it is no longer possible for them to riot?

00:34:31.300 You know, we haven't seen any violence, really even any protesting.

00:34:36.620 Last night, afterwards, we went over to the White House to see if there would be people gathering outside,

00:34:40.700 if there would be protesters, if there would be rioters.

00:34:43.180 And there was really nothing.

00:34:44.860 It was basically dead quiet.

00:34:47.480 And, you know, maybe they've just tired themselves out after a decade of going up against this man,

00:34:51.800 who, of course, has just been bouncing back from everything they've laid against him.

00:34:55.340 So, Spencer, do you know when Kate McKinnon plans to croak out a whining dirge of Leonard Cohen's... 0.99

00:35:03.520 Maya Rudolph, Maya Rudolph, this year.

00:35:05.100 It's Maya Rudolph.

00:35:05.740 It's Maya Rudolph, right?

00:35:07.200 You're right, you're right.

00:35:08.440 Oh, well, that'll be better then.

00:35:09.600 Maya Rudolph, she's pretty good, actually.

00:35:11.100 You know, that'll...

00:35:11.760 I guess this Saturday is the answer.

00:35:13.640 She's a real talent.

00:35:14.440 Yeah.

00:35:16.280 Any predictions on what she'll say?

00:35:19.800 Spencer, have you heard anything there?

00:35:21.480 You know, we've talked to a couple people, and really, you know, kind of the question that's on my mind is,

00:35:30.600 why people are actually coming back?

00:35:32.400 Because last night, you know, when that co-chair came out, the co-chair of the campaign,

00:35:37.320 the co-chair came out and said, she's not going to be addressing you tonight.

00:35:40.780 You've got to wait until tomorrow.

00:35:42.180 And by that point, we were already pretty certain on the outcome.

00:35:45.300 A lot of people made the decision to just not come back out.

00:35:47.920 Some people came here.

00:35:48.840 You know, it is a historical moment.

00:35:51.480 And without a doubt.

00:35:53.200 So, some people are just here really to witness the history.

00:35:54.600 It's absolutely historic that Donald Trump is defeating, vanquishing his second female opponent for president. 0.99

00:36:00.400 His nickname is the glass ceiling.

00:36:01.580 That was the New York Times theory.

00:36:03.660 That was their biggest single theory, that it was a woman.

00:36:07.100 Yeah.

00:36:08.280 Remember I asked last night, what are they going to say?

00:36:10.540 Yeah.

00:36:11.000 So, now they're blaming it on misogyny.

00:36:14.160 Sure.

00:36:14.880 No.

00:36:15.300 That makes perfect sense.

00:36:16.580 That's why he got a two-point bounce among women. 1.00

00:36:18.780 Yeah.

00:36:20.320 They were misogyny.

00:36:21.280 Women know what's happening. 1.00

00:36:22.480 Those voters. 0.97

00:36:23.340 Self-eating women. 1.00

00:36:25.160 I'm sorry, Spencer. 0.99

00:36:26.040 I cut you off to make a joke.

00:36:27.260 That's just how we do it around here.

00:36:30.820 Are people starting to take down their boards around the D.C. area?

00:36:33.300 You know, the D.C. area right now, I mean, we were out kind of just walking the streets earlier, and it's pretty quiet.

00:36:41.860 You know, this is a D-plus.

00:36:43.940 I mean, it's 80 or 90 percent Democrat, really, within the district itself.

00:36:47.140 So, the mood is somber, even just on the streets of D.C., but of course, specifically here in this party, it is especially somber.

00:36:54.820 And I'm seeing people kind of, I saw one group sitting in a circle kind of commiserating and talking about what the next four years looked like.

00:37:02.540 Of course, those were all Harris supporters, and they were there kind of reassuring each other, hugging each other.

00:37:08.480 It looked like a little bit of a, you know, a therapy circle, almost.

00:37:12.260 Spencer, has anyone?

00:37:13.180 I imagine we're going to see more of that.

00:37:14.060 Is he here?

00:37:14.440 Is he here?

00:37:15.160 Spencer, has anyone seen you smiling?

00:37:21.340 I think a couple people have caught me.

00:37:23.580 I went up to go up and interview a few people.

00:37:27.120 They saw the grin.

00:37:29.900 Laugh directly in their faces.

00:37:33.080 Get it on camera.

00:37:35.280 Spencer Lindquist, thanks for being with us.

00:37:36.920 If you insist.

00:37:38.480 From Howard University, where Vice President Kamala Harris is expected to take the stage any moment to give her concessions. 1.00

00:37:44.740 Can I say one thing about the speech?

00:37:46.440 It does, she does have the opportunity to actually give an important speech, and she could actually say some things that, you know, to in some way, if not unify the country, at least assure her supporters that this guy is not actually Hitler.

00:38:01.620 Matt, I have a question.

00:38:02.400 It's not going to happen.

00:38:03.160 It will not happen.

00:38:03.900 It never happens.

00:38:04.840 It will not happen in a thousand years.

00:38:06.460 I'm just pointing out that, like, this doesn't have to be a totally useless speech.

00:38:10.080 She could do something.

00:38:11.200 She could.

00:38:11.640 It could be if she had any integrity at all.

00:38:13.720 She could actually help the country with this speech.

00:38:15.980 But she won't.

00:38:16.620 Why deal with counterfactuals?

00:38:18.340 Totally throw Joe Biden under the bus.

00:38:20.480 That would be interesting.

00:38:21.480 That would be funny.

00:38:21.780 I mean, I think instead of saying what she should say, let's say we're rooting for her to say.

00:38:24.560 So what I'm rooting for her to say is for her to come out and be like, listen, we all knew old Joe had to go in 2022.

00:38:31.020 And he didn't go in 2022.

00:38:32.300 Instead, he stuck around.

00:38:33.540 And then he stuck me with his bag.

00:38:35.060 And I had to somehow run this thing across the finish line.

00:38:37.340 Don't blame me.

00:38:38.060 Don't blame me.

00:38:39.340 It wasn't me.

00:38:40.240 It was Joe.

00:38:40.920 And then somebody's going to have to come drag Doug Emhoff off the stage before he spots a nanny in the crowd. 0.99

00:38:46.160 Wait, you think they're still married?

00:38:47.940 I think Doug Emhoff is the happiest man in America today. 0.94

00:38:51.260 I think the idea that he wanted to be first gentleman is ridiculous on its face.

00:38:54.600 Like, that is a dude, given his personal history, that is somebody who's very happy to be going back to Beverly Hills. 0.72

00:39:00.140 Yes, yes.

00:39:01.140 Isn't the only thing that she can blame just the Don Corleone lament, if only we had more time?

00:39:08.440 Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.

00:39:09.720 Yeah, you have to understand it was a last-minute thing, and we did the best we could for that.

00:39:15.160 Yeah, because then it doesn't offend anybody.

00:39:17.380 She doesn't have to take responsibility.

00:39:19.260 It is plausible.

00:39:20.260 I mean, it was absurd that they swapped out their nominee at the last minute.

00:39:24.020 Well, you know, what I'm looking forward to is her next run.

00:39:27.720 That's really what I'm looking forward to.

00:39:28.900 I think Kamala Harris 4.0 will be so much better than Kamala Harris 3.0 ever was.

00:39:34.760 Yes.

00:39:35.100 I mean, each upgrade has been treated with just rapturous joy by the media.

00:39:38.920 So I can't imagine.

00:39:40.980 It's like the iPhone 16, just a new reissue that's just going to get better with every single update.

00:39:46.280 The reason she gets better.

00:39:47.300 There is a way forward, to Matt's point, really, where the cooler heads in the Democrat Party start to seize back the party from the radicals.

00:39:56.300 Only rhetorically.

00:39:57.780 It will be pure rhetoric.

00:39:59.200 Well, they always govern too far to the left.

00:40:01.480 Okay, just that's very important that everyone know that.

00:40:04.480 They will veer toward the center.

00:40:06.860 You know, we really overdid it on X, Y, and Z.

00:40:09.900 And then as soon as they have power, they will go back to X, Y, and Z.

00:40:13.040 Yeah, that's exactly right.

00:40:13.920 That's probably true.

00:40:14.420 So here's a question from a Daily Wire member.

00:40:16.800 If you're not a member, please consider joining us at dailywire.com slash subscribe.

00:40:20.600 If you use promo code Trump, you get 47% off because he is the 47th president.

00:40:24.900 And our members make it possible for us to do the work that we do.

00:40:28.540 Is there any concern that the left won't give up power come January?

00:40:32.660 No.

00:40:32.880 Not in my mind, no.

00:40:33.860 They just got clobbered.

00:40:34.960 If it were close, then maybe.

00:40:36.280 But they just got totally creamed.

00:40:37.640 Right.

00:40:38.120 That's going to be fun, though.

00:40:39.600 Kamala gets to preside over the certification. 0.98

00:40:41.160 The great loser, one of the great losers is the New York Times. 0.92

00:40:47.460 This is really important that people understand this. 0.93

00:40:50.800 The New York Times is no longer, I was telling Ben earlier, I will never use the term mainstream media again.

00:40:57.860 It is just left-wing media.

00:40:59.600 They are the outliers.

00:41:01.560 We are now much more mainstream.

00:41:03.900 Yeah.

00:41:04.640 PragerU, Daily Wire, all the, you know, Megan Kelly, Joe Rogan.

00:41:09.740 I mean, the whole gang, we are now mainstream.

00:41:13.920 They are left-wing media.

00:41:15.940 The only people that read the New York Times are leftists.

00:41:20.520 It is a fact.

00:41:21.420 That is it.

00:41:23.240 The New York Times now realizes, to some extent, I don't think fully, they have no influence on the country.

00:41:30.660 None.

00:41:30.900 But to say to the average American, you know, the New York Times said, you might as well say, well, Harvard said.

00:41:38.200 Yeah.

00:41:38.320 Right.

00:41:38.920 Slain. 0.96

00:41:39.200 It is a tragedy because, A, the New York Times is the best digital media company in the world, which is an amazing thing to say.

00:41:46.740 Four years ago, they weren't a digital media company at all.

00:41:49.520 It's one of, they are blockbuster who became Netflix.

00:41:53.680 It's the greatest transformation I've ever seen of a company, maybe in history.

00:41:59.040 The other reason it's tragic is they still do the best journalism of any publication in the world.

00:42:05.560 It's, no one on the right can yet field a fraction of the actual investigative journalistic power that can be fielded by the New York Times.

00:42:14.460 We can't field a fraction of the Washington Post.

00:42:16.600 We can't field a fraction of the Wall Street Journal.

00:42:19.480 And so to see that, well, just those three that I just named, they control something like 80% of all the actual investigative firepower in the country.

00:42:29.640 It is a real loss to the country that those institutions, which were always of the left, have become leftist, which is different.

00:42:37.940 They've become instruments of the Democrat Party.

00:42:39.820 By the way, just if you're talking, though, about raw news, I know I read one of the only newspapers I read every day.

00:42:48.700 By the way, I do read the New York Times physical edition, not just digital every day, just for the record.

00:42:54.160 But that's just to know what the left is saying, not to really learn about the world.

00:42:58.520 The Telegraph in Britain, that is a magnificent newspaper.

00:43:03.940 The Epoch Times is a magnificent newspaper, in my opinion.

00:43:06.960 The National Post in Canada.

00:43:10.540 I mean, they're not, they don't have the money to have reporters in Rwanda.

00:43:17.020 Yeah.

00:43:17.580 But there are news sources worthy of noting.

00:43:21.600 But it is true. 0.90

00:43:22.820 You're absolutely right that they have all that firepower. 0.70

00:43:25.520 But they have become kind of porn.

00:43:28.300 I mean, I was thinking about it this morning, that they really have been relegated to porn.

00:43:32.300 By the way, the Daily Wire, you guys have a lot of news.

00:43:35.720 Yeah.

00:43:36.260 I mean, I go to you for news.

00:43:38.580 Yeah.

00:43:39.240 But we don't have the reporters.

00:43:39.960 The other thing is that what they realized is that as their margins began to shrink, they became fan service.

00:43:47.340 That's right.

00:43:47.600 And the most ardent fans were left-wingers.

00:43:49.280 And so they just kept doubling down on their fan service.

00:43:51.040 Audience capture is one of the truly pernicious phenomena of the digital age.

00:43:57.660 I mean, and you can tell because I think the only person at the New York Times who voted for Trump in all likelihood is Ross Douthat, right?

00:44:04.540 I mean, Ross is the only one who probably even considered that.

00:44:07.280 At the Washington Post, there's literally no one.

00:44:09.040 Yeah.

00:44:09.160 Right.

00:44:09.360 The Washington Post, I think that now that Hugh Hewitt stepped away, right?

00:44:12.960 Right.

00:44:13.180 Now that Hugh Hewitt, there's literally no one there.

00:44:15.640 Wait, Hugh Hewitt?

00:44:16.240 I hadn't heard that.

00:44:17.240 Yeah.

00:44:17.760 I can't.

00:44:19.200 It's fantastic.

00:44:20.060 But since, so every major newspaper, the biggest newspapers in the country don't have anyone who's even writing for their editorial page who can even say that they voted for a person the majority of Americans voted for in the last election cycle.

00:44:32.420 At the New York Times, the conservatives who do, who are allowed to contribute to the editorial section, all voted for Kamala.

00:44:39.500 Other than Ross Douthat.

00:44:40.800 Right.

00:44:41.100 But he's truly, he's the one.

00:44:42.340 Well, first of all, you say all.

00:44:44.080 It's three.

00:44:44.900 It's three.

00:44:45.440 Yeah.

00:44:45.620 And I still don't know.

00:44:47.700 I don't know.

00:44:48.980 I know what's conservative about Brett Stephens.

00:44:51.580 Obviously, Ross Douthat.

00:44:52.880 But what is conservative about David French?

00:44:55.780 Well, I think that David French is still committed to most of the same values that he was committed to.

00:45:01.120 Does it come through in his column?

00:45:03.100 I don't think it is.

00:45:03.760 Well, no.

00:45:04.100 There's no evidence.

00:45:04.800 Ten years ago, he was a libertarian.

00:45:06.240 And that's why he gets the credit today.

00:45:08.660 Because he is so outraged by Donald Trump that he's willing to side against the people who want to advance the things that he writes in favor of.

00:45:16.540 Well, it's a conservative.

00:45:18.020 He's abandoned our values out of hatred of Trump.

00:45:21.240 Yeah.

00:45:21.560 Yeah.

00:45:21.660 That's called derangement.

00:45:22.760 Well, that is true.

00:45:24.000 Well, certainly, I think it is derangement.

00:45:26.560 No question about it.

00:45:27.600 I don't think that it's the same as him being a leftist.

00:45:29.860 It is.

00:45:30.240 Correct.

00:45:30.680 Correct.

00:45:30.960 The practical effect is the same.

00:45:32.340 Yes.

00:45:32.920 Well, that's all that matters.

00:45:34.840 He's become a quizzling for the left in a bizarre belief that if he does so, eventually, a right that he approves of will emerge.

00:45:41.400 That's right.

00:45:42.280 That's the problem.

00:45:43.080 Today, I was on Piers Morgan's show with Joe Walsh, who was a right-wing radio host and congressman who then, I think he ran for president.

00:45:49.320 But, you know, he just supports Democrats now.

00:45:51.000 And he said, we were arguing about something.

00:45:53.020 He said, but, Michael, you don't understand.

00:45:54.340 I'm, you know, I'm a Republican.

00:45:56.440 I'm not a Democrat.

00:45:57.120 And I thought, you know, I actually kind of like the guy, but I thought, man, you can't, I think you get, like, three election cycles.

00:46:03.180 If you don't vote for a Republican, you're out, okay?

00:46:06.420 That's good.

00:46:06.620 And it is true that their derangement causes them to also not support any other Republicans.

00:46:11.000 So when you have, listen, I said last night, I think Jonah Goldberg is one of the greatest writers in the country.

00:46:17.200 And yet, he can't even support a Ron DeSantis.

00:46:19.060 They can't even support a Ron DeSantis.

00:46:20.720 Because Trump has made them so mad that anything that isn't like Jeb Bush, they're going to oppose.

00:46:27.360 It's completely self-inflicted wounds.

00:46:29.780 Because they, I had, Jonah Goldberg did a course for, did a video for PragerU.

00:46:35.500 Jonah Goldberg, I think liberal fascism is one of the most important books of the last 50 years.

00:46:41.780 And he has rendered himself less important.

00:46:46.120 I don't know, that's why the derangement is not an invalid word.

00:46:52.680 Because I think that one of the things that's been, it is happening on a lot of sides of the aisle,

00:46:57.920 is we now have gotten to the point in American life where if people don't vote the way you want,

00:47:02.080 you're disappointed in the people.

00:47:04.860 And you can't function in democracy where you're constantly disappointed with the people.

00:47:10.080 It makes it very difficult to actually believe in the country when you're constantly disappointed.

00:47:13.780 But Ben, what's the Mencken quote?

00:47:15.880 Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard.

00:47:22.200 And that's true.

00:47:24.260 But it also means that you have to have faith that eventually they're going to make some good decisions.

00:47:28.880 And that if they make a decision that you don't like, maybe there were some decent reasons.

00:47:31.240 Especially to be disappointed, to have these commentators that are disappointed in the people.

00:47:35.680 Well, your whole job, our whole job is to convince the people.

00:47:39.060 It's what we do for a living.

00:47:39.940 And so if the people aren't agreeing with you, then you can be disappointed in them or you can be disappointed in yourself.

00:47:45.760 You didn't make the case.

00:47:46.700 That is absolutely true.

00:47:49.520 And it's the people's country.

00:47:51.180 Ultimately, they get to choose how they want to live.

00:47:53.500 This is exactly my point last night.

00:47:55.620 I didn't want Donald Trump to be the nominee.

00:47:57.700 I didn't vote for him in the primary.

00:47:59.020 That's what primaries are for. 0.80

00:48:01.080 The majority of Republican primary voters disagreed with me.

00:48:04.700 They win.

00:48:05.860 Now Donald Trump is the nominee.

00:48:06.920 The question before me in November of 2024 isn't, who would I like to see be the Republican nominee for president?

00:48:16.200 That question is settled.

00:48:18.120 Yes.

00:48:19.000 There is one.

00:48:19.840 Perfect.

00:48:20.400 That's right.

00:48:21.620 You know, on this point of people kind of coming together, the Republicans did unify here in the general.

00:48:26.820 And the election was conducted efficiently and with sufficient margin that, hey, we found out on election night.

00:48:32.460 Remember when we used to do that?

00:48:33.460 And so I think it gave people, and this actually is important for the Democrats, even if they won't admit it now.

00:48:39.960 It gave people a confidence that the system still holds and that the people's choices are still reflected.

00:48:47.080 It's another reason it's a big evening.

00:48:48.760 Yeah.

00:48:49.400 Yeah.

00:48:49.580 And I mean, I'd said before the election that the worst case scenario, the worst case was Kamala Nero.

00:48:54.660 Right.

00:48:55.000 That if I had to have like order of what was good for the country, Trump big, Trump narrow, Kamala big, Kamala narrow.

00:49:00.900 If you're looking at like things that are – because the worst case scenario that would have been terrible for the country is Kamala sneaking it out at 3 a.m. by a margin of two votes in Wisconsin.

00:49:08.840 Yes.

00:49:09.120 It would have been awful for the country at every possible level.

00:49:11.500 So we got the best possible scenario because God has shined upon this country once again.

00:49:16.200 Yeah.

00:49:16.460 But, you know, it is a very good thing.

00:49:18.460 That's why I think you're not seeing – because it was a clear-cut victory.

00:49:21.400 That's right.

00:49:21.860 I think that that is a good thing.

00:49:24.100 And, again, Democrats are going to have to go back to the drawing board and they're going to have to think to themselves about what they have done wrong.

00:49:29.180 You're going to have to go back to the corner.

00:49:30.480 You're going to have to redo your homework.

00:49:32.000 You're going to have to figure out exactly what it was that went wrong.

00:49:34.820 Because if you think about Barack Obama as a singular figure who was elected for a host of reasons that really had very little to do with his policy, which is actually what he was.

00:49:42.520 I mean, he was a singular figure in himself.

00:49:44.980 He's a great speaker.

00:49:45.840 Obviously, his personal characteristics, his race, all of that kind of stuff.

00:49:48.960 The last successful national Democratic politician, truly successful, is Bill Clinton, who today would be characterized as a moderate Republican by his agenda.

00:49:57.700 How do you run on a left-wing agenda that the American people do not like without the signal power of a Barack Obama?

00:50:04.540 And so the question is they're either going to have to find another cult figure, which is what Obama was.

00:50:08.480 They're going to have to find a celebrity cult figure like Barack Obama.

00:50:10.400 Or they're going to have to start reexamining the agenda of, say, James Carville and Bill Clinton and maybe start looking at the blue dog Democrats once again. 0.74

00:50:19.580 I think that that's right.

00:50:20.700 And I think that they're actually – look, the only sane reaction to a defeat like this is to say, where have we gone wrong?

00:50:26.780 And if you come up with the idea that it's messaging, which is what they usually do, then you're never going to get anywhere.

00:50:31.520 Because that's what Dennis was saying before.

00:50:33.140 That's right.

00:50:33.800 Thank you.

00:50:34.500 That's exactly it.

00:50:35.520 It's just going to be a rhetorical change.

00:50:37.480 I can't think of a single major left-wing figure who will say, gee, maybe I really am wrong on a person being able to change sexes. 0.99

00:50:51.440 They're in there in the rank and file.

00:50:52.260 It's inconceivable to me.

00:50:53.740 They're in there in the rank and file.

00:50:55.180 They're actually some of them in there in the media.

00:50:57.560 The question is whether they can yank back the party from –

00:51:00.220 Who's they?

00:51:01.220 The people who are going to be sane about this do exist on the left.

00:51:05.460 Can you name a name?

00:51:06.280 No, no, I'm not giving you a hard time.

00:51:08.840 I can't think of anyone.

00:51:09.800 So believe it or not, on the gender issue, Van Jones.

00:51:12.380 So actually there are Democrats of color who are more likely to be the people who yank them back on those issues than the white Democrats.

00:51:18.920 The white Democrats are the nudges of the Democrats. 0.82

00:51:21.020 Or even Don Lemon when he's being candid.

00:51:23.180 He also tends to track a little more toward the middle when he's not being pushed by CNN.

00:51:27.380 Look at Cuomo now, Chris Cuomo.

00:51:28.860 Chris Cuomo, yeah.

00:51:29.520 Will any of them say, you know, maybe America was not founded in 1619?

00:51:35.000 I'm not kidding.

00:51:36.200 That's a biggie.

00:51:37.000 That's as big as men give birth. 0.51

00:51:39.000 America was founded in 16. 0.63

00:51:40.580 I was giving you the list of lies.

00:51:42.580 There's an enormous one.

00:51:43.740 That's right.

00:51:44.400 Well, here's an idea.

00:51:45.340 What if we just keep beating them until they do learn the lesson?

00:51:48.360 Michael, here's a question from a DailyWire.com subscriber.

00:51:51.000 Again, if you're not a subscriber, DailyWire.com slash subscribe for 47% off.

00:51:54.920 Promo code Trump.

00:51:55.600 Will the truth of all the corruption finally come out now?

00:51:59.300 Will leftists see the lies that they swallowed?

00:52:01.740 There are people in our lives that bought all the lies and they still think we're the bad guys.

00:52:05.900 Will they be able to see the truth once Trump takes office?

00:52:09.700 No.

00:52:10.180 Those are two separate questions.

00:52:12.500 The first, will all the corruption come out?

00:52:14.240 No.

00:52:14.880 Everyone is broadly aware of the great corruption in our government and our culture.

00:52:19.040 Both sides of the aisle are aware of it and they disagree a little bit over the nature of it.

00:52:21.960 But they're aware of it and some of that will come out and I think Trump will clean house to as great a degree as he can in the federal bureaucracy in particular.

00:52:29.440 And that will be difficult and it will be unsatisfying, but I think he can get somewhere.

00:52:33.000 In terms of will Democrats see the error of their ways?

00:52:36.040 No, I don't think so.

00:52:37.120 I think it's going to take them a little while longer to do that because they've really bought in and they've accepted their views not so much as a matter of practical political conciliation

00:52:48.380 or, you know, just, you know, resignation, but rather as a matter of deep religious faith.

00:52:55.820 And so they-

00:52:56.380 I want to know in light of what you're saying, I'm waiting to see the left-wing source, because it was almost universal, that says, wow, America elected Hitler.

00:53:07.360 Why don't they own up to the staggering horror of calling him Hitler?

00:53:12.840 So say, the new republic had a picture of Hitler in the face of Donald Trump.

00:53:18.980 Will the new republic now say, America elected Hitler?

00:53:23.060 And if they think that, why are they staying?

00:53:27.860 Jews started to leave Germany when Hitler was elected.

00:53:31.660 Well, Richard Gere did say that he's going to Spain.

00:53:34.120 We have Tim Walz, governor of Minnesota, now entering the arena here.

00:53:38.380 It's not a arena, I suppose.

00:53:39.480 This is another giant.

00:53:40.640 Giant among men.

00:53:41.200 Weirdly, he still looks happy and no one knows why.

00:53:44.820 Now, he's just kind of being weird.

00:53:46.280 I do want to say, Dennis, you're a very large, perhaps the largest on earth Jewish man. 1.00

00:53:53.640 How many times have you been to Israel in your life?

00:53:55.960 25.

00:53:56.960 Yeah.

00:53:58.280 Tim Walz, Israel is an American ally.

00:54:01.060 It's the ancestral homeland of your people.

00:54:04.140 It's the center of your religion.

00:54:05.920 And Tim Walz has been 30 times to China, a country that is not his ancestral homeland, that is not the center of his religion, and that currently has hundreds of nuclear weapons pointed at us.

00:54:24.520 And we've been engaged in a Cold War for 50 years.

00:54:27.860 Yeah, that's pretty devastating.

00:54:29.400 It's a remarkable moment, by the way she's coming in.

00:54:31.440 Vice President Kamala Harris walking to the podium.

00:54:34.440 We'll rejoin you as soon as the vice president's remarks are concluded.

00:54:38.000 Good afternoon.

00:55:05.920 Good afternoon.

00:55:07.040 Good afternoon.

00:55:08.000 Good afternoon, everyone.

00:55:22.800 Good afternoon.

00:55:25.820 Good afternoon.

00:55:29.080 Good afternoon.

00:55:30.280 Good afternoon.

00:55:34.680 Thank you all.

00:55:35.980 Thank you.

00:55:36.580 Thank you.

00:55:37.140 Thank you.

00:55:38.400 Thank you.

00:55:38.900 Thank you.

00:55:40.180 So let me say, and I love you back.

00:55:44.480 And I love you back.

00:55:47.400 So let me say, my heart is full today.

00:55:51.940 My heart is full today.

00:55:54.280 Full of gratitude for the trust you have placed in me.

00:55:59.380 Full of love for our country, full of love for our country, and full of resolve.

00:56:07.220 The outcome of this election is not what we wanted, not what we fought for, not what we voted for, but hear me when I say, hear me when I say, the light of America's promise will always burn bright.

00:56:28.040 Thank you.

00:56:29.080 Thank you.

00:56:31.840 As long as we never give up.

00:56:36.880 As long as we keep fighting.

00:56:38.300 And as long as we keep fighting.

00:56:45.800 To my beloved Doug and our family, I love you so very much.

00:56:50.980 To President Biden and Dr. Biden, thank you for your faith and support.

00:57:01.560 To Governor Walz and the Walz family, I know your service to our nation will continue.

00:57:11.520 And to my extraordinary team, to the volunteers who gave so much of themselves.

00:57:20.980 To the poll workers and the local election officials, I thank you.

00:57:29.780 I thank you all.

00:57:31.480 Look, I am so proud of the race we ran and the way we ran it.

00:57:37.180 And the way we ran it.

00:57:39.800 Over the 107 days of this campaign, we have been intentional about building community and building coalitions.

00:57:50.980 Bringing people together from every walk of life and background, united by love of country, with enthusiasm and joy, in our fight for America's future.

00:58:05.900 And we did it with the knowledge that we all have so much more in common than what separates us.

00:58:17.740 Now, I know folks are feeling and experiencing a range of emotions right now.

00:58:25.780 I get it.

00:58:26.860 But we must accept the results of this election.

00:58:33.220 Earlier today, I spoke with President-elect Trump and congratulated him on his victory.

00:58:39.100 I also told him that we will help him and his team with their transition.

00:58:44.920 And that we will engage in a peaceful transfer of power.

00:58:56.240 A fundamental principle of American democracy is that when we lose an election, we accept the results.

00:59:03.660 That principle, as much as any other, distinguishes democracy from monarchy or tyranny.

00:59:12.880 And anyone who seeks the public trust must honor it.

00:59:18.520 At the same time, in our nation, we owe loyalty not to a president or a party, but to the Constitution of the United States.

00:59:31.060 And loyalty to our conscience and to our God.

00:59:41.100 My allegiance to all three is why I am here to say,

00:59:47.760 while I concede this election, I do not concede the fight that fueled this campaign.

01:00:01.060 The fight, the fight for freedom, for opportunity, for fairness, and the dignity of all people.

01:00:12.980 A fight for the ideals at the heart of our nation.

01:00:18.560 The ideals that reflect America at our best.

01:00:22.700 That is a fight I will never give up.

01:00:31.360 I will never give up the fight for a future where Americans can pursue their dreams, ambitions, and aspirations.

01:00:41.320 Where the women of America have the freedom to make decisions about their own body and not have their government telling them what to do. 1.00

01:00:52.360 We will never give up the fight to protect our schools and our streets from gun violence. 0.82

01:01:00.000 And America, we will never give up the fight for our democracy, for the rule of law, for equal justice,

01:01:13.740 and for the sacred idea that every one of us, no matter who we are or where we start out,

01:01:23.600 has certain fundamental rights and freedoms that must be respected and upheld.

01:01:29.840 And we will continue to wage this fight in the voting booth, in the courts, and in the public square.

01:01:44.700 And we will also wage it in quieter ways, in how we live our lives.

01:01:51.640 By treating one another with kindness and respect.

01:01:57.240 By looking in the face of a stranger and seeing a neighbor.

01:02:03.860 By always using our strength to lift people up.

01:02:10.760 To fight for the dignity that all people deserve.

01:02:15.840 The fight for our freedom will take hard work.

01:02:21.320 But like I always say, we like hard work.

01:02:25.280 Hard work is good work.

01:02:27.960 Hard work can be joyful work.

01:02:30.840 And the fight for our country is always worth it.

01:02:35.920 It is always worth it.

01:02:37.600 To the young people who are watching, it is okay to feel sad and disappointed.

01:03:02.360 But please know it's going to be okay.

01:03:04.360 On the campaign, I would often say, when we fight, we win.

01:03:10.560 But here's the thing.

01:03:11.900 Here's the thing.

01:03:13.260 Sometimes the fight takes a while.

01:03:15.980 That doesn't mean we won't win.

01:03:18.600 That doesn't mean we won't win.

01:03:22.100 The important thing is don't ever give up.

01:03:26.220 Don't ever give up.

01:03:27.940 Don't ever stop trying to make the world a better place.

01:03:33.160 You have power.

01:03:35.600 You have power.

01:03:37.660 And don't you ever listen when anyone tells you something is impossible because it has never been done before.

01:03:46.140 You have the capacity to do extraordinary good in the world.

01:03:58.780 And so to everyone who is watching, do not despair.

01:04:04.660 This is not a time to throw up our hands.

01:04:08.120 This is a time to roll up our sleeves.

01:04:10.020 This is a time to organize, to mobilize, and to stay engaged.

01:04:20.560 For the sake of freedom and justice and the future that we all know we can build together.

01:04:30.120 Look, many of you know, I started out as a prosecutor, and throughout my career, I saw people at some of the worst times in their lives.

01:04:39.200 People who had suffered great harm and great pain.

01:04:43.020 And yet found within themselves the strength and the courage and the resolve to take the stand, to take a stand.

01:04:58.800 To fight for justice.

01:05:02.020 To fight for themselves.

01:05:04.660 To fight for others.

01:05:06.780 So let their courage be our inspiration.

01:05:13.260 Let their determination be our charge.

01:05:18.460 And I'll close with this.

01:05:21.340 There's an adage an historian once called a law of history.

01:05:27.620 True of every society across the ages.

01:05:31.380 The adage is, only when it is dark enough can you see the stars.

01:05:42.020 I know many people feel like we are entering a dark time.

01:05:47.640 But for the benefit of us all, I hope that is not the case.

01:05:52.560 But here's the thing.

01:05:54.200 America, if it is, let us fill the sky with the light of a brilliant, brilliant billion of stars.

01:06:06.320 The light.

01:06:08.840 The light of optimism.

01:06:11.840 Of faith.

01:06:13.940 Of truth.

01:06:15.980 And service.

01:06:16.960 H.U.

01:06:25.680 H.U.

01:06:29.720 And may that work guide us, even in the face of setbacks, toward the extraordinary promise of the United States of America.

01:06:45.720 I thank you all.

01:06:47.360 May God bless you.

01:06:48.760 And may God bless the United States of America.

01:06:52.720 I thank you all.

01:06:54.240 I thank you.

01:06:55.360 I thank you.

01:07:01.780 Well, folks, that is Kamala Harris, Vice President of the United States. 1.00

01:07:06.140 She has just given her concession address.

01:07:09.240 She is headed out.

01:07:10.200 And, lady, don't let the door hit you.

01:07:12.360 We're the good Lord split you.

01:07:13.700 I got to say, she was a little more naturalistic than usual.

01:07:17.780 Obviously, she's a permanent resident of the Uncanny Valley, so she could only take short trips outside the Uncanny Valley.

01:07:23.260 She seemed to make it almost to the border of the Uncanny Valley at that time.

01:07:26.300 But, unfortunately, she was then dragged screaming back to the center of the Uncanny Valley for the finale of the speech,

01:07:31.300 where she talked about how there would be a billion points of light, not just a thousand, a billion, yay, perhaps a trillion, perhaps a trillion, trillion.

01:07:39.200 So many points of light because, you know, when it gets real dark, you can see the stars outside.

01:07:43.620 And that means that now that it's really dark, you can be a star, too, just like J-Lo or something.

01:07:49.080 Here's the thing about Kamala Harris. 0.99

01:07:50.400 She was a big nothing burger. 1.00

01:07:52.020 Her candidacy was a big nothing burger. 0.93

01:07:53.660 She has always been a big nothing burger. 1.00

01:07:55.000 And that little concession speech was also a big nothing burger.

01:07:57.800 So there are a few things she could have said that would have been useful.

01:08:00.060 Like, for example, you remember that time I said that my opponent's Hitler?

01:08:03.100 Yeah, you're going to be fine.

01:08:04.100 She said you're going to be fine, but it's very hard to square that with my opponent is Hitler and you need to vote to stop him. 0.83

01:08:10.560 And everyone around him is also Hitlerian. 0.90

01:08:13.100 That's a very difficult thing to square.

01:08:15.080 It is very difficult to square all the things that she said on the campaign trail about the threats to America.

01:08:20.100 There will be giant internment camps, what Democrats were saying,

01:08:22.940 that every woman in America was going to be put under the gun, 1.00

01:08:27.120 that essentially all rights would be stripped from you with the sort of inspirational rhetoric she was using right there. 0.96

01:08:33.460 And here's the thing.

01:08:34.220 If she had campaigned as this Kamala Harris, maybe she would have had a better shot. 1.00

01:08:36.920 If she hadn't tried the scare tactic of claiming that Donald Trump was Hitler with seven mustaches and more orange,

01:08:42.500 if she hadn't tried that, maybe people would have taken her more seriously, 0.95

01:08:45.420 or maybe they wouldn't because it turns out that was just a bunch of platitudinous nonsense.

01:08:48.540 Again, in the end, the thing about Kamala Harris is nothing, because she is nothing.

01:08:53.620 She's a stand-in for a party machine. 1.00

01:08:56.020 That speech could have been given by 1,000 different Democrats, nay, a billion stars of Democrats.

01:09:01.500 It could have been any Democrat in the United States who gave that list of platitudes and bumper stickers

01:09:05.860 that mean absolutely nothing when ripped out of any sort of context or any sort of meaning.

01:09:10.460 And because that is the case, what you have to do is look behind the facade that is Kamala Harris of the Democratic Party.

01:09:16.040 And that's the reason she lost. She didn't lose.

01:09:18.080 Honestly, I would feel bad for her if I thought that she actually were a real human being.

01:09:22.400 But the fact that she is an NPC and that she effectively is just a stand-in for a party,

01:09:28.540 don't feel bad for the party that she represents because that party is lying to you.

01:09:32.300 They put up these platitudes and these bumper stickers so you don't look through the veil.

01:09:36.620 They don't want you to see the actual policies they pursue.

01:09:39.120 This lady who says that she was a prosecutor, this same person suggested on a questionnaire from the ACLU

01:09:44.420 that taxpayers should fund the transition of illegal immigrant prisoners.

01:09:48.760 This same person who is talking about how be friendly to the stranger who you just meet on the street,

01:09:53.720 that same person was personally attempting to bail rioters out of prison during the George Floyd riots in Minneapolis.

01:10:00.240 The same person who is telling you that young people, you ought to have hope in the future,

01:10:04.120 was also telling young people that they effectively don't have any hope in the future

01:10:07.120 unless they're having their student loan debt relieved by the grace of government.

01:10:11.660 The agenda does not match the rhetoric. It never matched the rhetoric.

01:10:14.720 The rhetoric is completely empty because Kamala Harris is completely empty. 0.99

01:10:18.160 And that's why she deserved to lose.

01:10:19.300 It's why no one, I noticed that for all the talk in the media about how she was brat and joy 1.00

01:10:23.160 and a wonderful candidate, joy reads that she ran a flawless, flawless campaign. 0.83

01:10:28.000 That for all of that, ain't nobody talking about her running again in 2028. 0.87

01:10:31.500 Weird. If she's that great a candidate, they should be talking about that. 0.69

01:10:34.540 Nobody's talking about that.

01:10:35.460 So, I think we can all bid a fond farewell to Kamala Harris from the public scene.

01:10:39.800 We can bid a fond farewell to Tim Walls, who will be as memorable as Tim Kaine,

01:10:44.280 meaning that in about six months' time, you won't remember who he is,

01:10:46.800 except he sort of reminded one of Don Rickles in some sort of bizarre way.

01:10:50.780 He's a cross between Don Rickles and Gumby.

01:10:52.840 And that's going to be the last you hear of Kamala Harris.

01:10:56.500 So, once again, goodbye to Kamala Harris. Raise a glass at your exit.

01:10:59.980 Can I say, I'm disappointed that she did not announce her re-election bid during that speech.

01:11:06.540 That's what I was hoping for out of the speech, and we didn't get it.

01:11:09.340 But maybe they'll run, like, they're just running progressively more unpleasant women with each election. 1.00

01:11:16.240 So, we'll see what they do next time.

01:11:17.400 You know, Kim Buttigieg is next.

01:11:19.240 She did a relatively good job on the speech,

01:11:22.160 but I think she did a good job because it's relatively easy for her to be gracious,

01:11:26.560 is she had no business being the nominee in the first place. 0.84

01:11:30.540 She didn't really work for it. 1.00

01:11:31.760 She's already made it so much further in politics than she ever deserved. 0.87

01:11:35.280 So, for her, I guess she can think, all right, well, you know, on this fluke, I almost became president.

01:11:39.660 I made it to be VP when I really had no business doing that.

01:11:42.520 And, okay, now it's over.

01:11:44.400 Joy Cometh in the morning.

01:11:45.180 It's not just the bizarre policies that those speeches cover up.

01:11:49.340 It's the open policy, the central policies, things like price controls, which is a Soviet idea,

01:11:54.420 the taxing the money that you've made on your house but haven't realized yet, which is pure robbery,

01:12:00.320 the misinformation idea that they are going to decide what misinformation is,

01:12:04.800 the government is going to decide.

01:12:05.960 Those are central ideas to the Democrat Party, and they're completely anti-American and unconstitutional.

01:12:12.480 And it's, you know, we pick on these things, and we should,

01:12:15.440 we pick on these things like, you know, funding trans operations for people in federal prison,

01:12:20.620 but their open policies, their central policies are absolutely disastrous.

01:12:25.500 So, I agree that the election was a repudiation of leftism, which is basically Matt's point at the top of the show.

01:12:32.360 And I agree with Ben that in many ways Kamala wasn't even a person running for president,

01:12:37.020 so much as she was a position, you know, she occupied a space on behalf of the machine itself.

01:12:43.280 They needed something that looked approximately like a human to carry forth their ideas.

01:12:48.540 But people do matter in politics, and had the person we just watched for the last 12 or 15 minutes

01:12:55.480 run for president the last 120 days, it's not clear to me that Donald Trump would have emerged victorious.

01:13:01.620 Because even though the speech was, even though the speech.

01:13:04.380 I'm with you on the whole thing.

01:13:05.420 I know that you guys grant to Donald Trump immense superpowers and holds.

01:13:09.680 But that person we just watched on stage was credible.

01:13:14.380 Yes, the speech was platitudinous.

01:13:15.640 Yes, it said nothing, but the American people don't always, I mean, they flip wildly between election and election on different policies.

01:13:23.060 I have never seen the person who just stood at that podium.

01:13:25.560 I, as a follower of American politics, much more closely than most, one might say,

01:13:29.860 I've never even met the person who just walked out to that podium.

01:13:32.940 She gave a cogent speech. 0.98

01:13:34.700 She gave an articulate speech.

01:13:36.360 She gave a speech that sounded very human.

01:13:39.460 She gave a gracious speech.

01:13:40.700 She gave a speech that had a sort of political rabble-rousing kind of spirit, but didn't actually say anything particularly divisive or particularly offensive.

01:13:51.460 I mean, certainly her Valium dealer either died last night, ran out of stock.

01:13:57.460 I don't know.

01:13:58.380 But that person we've never seen before, and that person might have made a run for president.

01:14:01.560 That's true in a lot of concession speeches.

01:14:03.000 A lot of people give their best speeches in concession because the pressure's off and it's all over.

01:14:07.040 And I don't grant Donald Trump superpowers, but he did get shot in the head and fight back.

01:14:11.740 I think, you know, just saying, just saying.

01:14:14.780 Listen, I voted for Donald Trump.

01:14:16.260 I think Donald Trump does a lot of good things.

01:14:17.640 I become the most anti-Trump that I ever am when I'm sitting here hearing all the supernatural elements of Donald Trump.

01:14:24.860 He once walked on water.

01:14:26.460 The thing is, the reason that that wouldn't have worked is because at the beginning she kind of tried it and it's not sustainable.

01:14:33.080 It's not sustainable.

01:14:33.900 She is as opaque as a pane of glass.

01:14:37.820 You can see right through her.

01:14:40.580 Yeah.

01:14:40.840 You can see right through her.

01:14:41.960 You can see all the gears moving.

01:14:43.440 You can see all the tricks that are being played.

01:14:45.260 You can see the agenda that's behind it.

01:14:47.140 And so this whole attempt to portray herself as a sort of, you know, just family woman who cares about the normie life,

01:14:54.680 that doesn't work for more than five seconds at a time.

01:14:57.460 And the minute that you think about it, it really, really doesn't work.

01:15:00.300 And so, you know, again, I think it's sort of offensive when people play act at it.

01:15:04.020 You know, normality is actually my life.

01:15:06.560 My culture is not your costume.

01:15:08.580 Yeah.

01:15:08.900 My culture of being in the normie is not your costume.

01:15:11.460 You know, the one where I'm married and I have four kids and I live in a stable household and I have a stable community.

01:15:16.020 Drive a minivan.

01:15:16.460 And I come home from a job and I take care of my kids.

01:15:18.880 Like, that's my normie life.

01:15:20.280 And I like my normie life. 0.83

01:15:21.320 Don't pretend that you're a member of my normie community while you're out partying at Drag Queen Story Hour with your weird husband, Doug.

01:15:28.840 Like, come on.

01:15:29.340 In fact, to offer up something actually kind about Donald Trump, I actually think that part of his unique charm is that he never plays like a normie.

01:15:37.300 So, when he goes to drive the garbage truck, he doesn't take off his $3,000 shirt and tie.

01:15:44.480 When he goes to work at McDonald's, he is the famous, wealthy, self-aware, self-deprecating billionaire serving you French fries.

01:15:54.660 Yes.

01:15:54.940 It's not—he doesn't put on the costume of normalcy.

01:15:57.760 No.

01:15:58.120 He's not saying, I'm one of you.

01:16:00.120 He's saying, I am not one of you.

01:16:02.220 But I like you.

01:16:02.640 But I like you.

01:16:03.460 Yes, that's right.

01:16:04.200 That is what's different about him.

01:16:05.340 When I was down in the Rio Grande Valley with Cruz, the fact is Jill Biden had visited that same community.

01:16:10.980 And that's the community where she made the famous breakfast tacos speech. 1.00

01:16:14.060 Where you're all—you had the wide variety of humanity, just like the wide variety of breakfast tacos.

01:16:19.660 Remember that.

01:16:20.300 And they're still laughing about that.

01:16:21.640 They're still like, what the—what in the—like, what the—

01:16:25.000 Because meanwhile, Donald Trump would be like, Cinco de Mayo.

01:16:29.000 Here's my taco bowl.

01:16:30.200 Love it.

01:16:30.980 They're better than any of your tacos.

01:16:32.560 And they don't feel disrespected by that because, guess what?

01:16:34.720 Donald Trump isn't pretending to be Mexican.

01:16:36.340 He's not pretending that he knows anything about breakfast tacos.

01:16:38.880 He's like, yeah, I went down to the local restaurant.

01:16:40.520 I picked up a breakfast taco.

01:16:41.420 It was delicious.

01:16:41.980 I liked eating it.

01:16:42.600 Okay, cool.

01:16:43.560 After that—after the garbage truck stunt, he goes to a rally. 0.70

01:16:47.480 And he spends five minutes telling a hilarious, off-the-cuff story about how ridiculous the whole thing was. 0.52

01:16:52.980 Right.

01:16:53.420 And how he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to get up the—get up into the truck because it's too big and he's old.

01:16:59.000 And then he—but he keeps the vest on because it's slimming and he's fat.

01:17:01.800 You know, it's like—and you watch it.

01:17:04.080 It's hilarious.

01:17:04.920 And you realize that—I mean, this is the difference.

01:17:07.600 There's so many differences between him and Kamala.

01:17:08.940 But this especially, that Kamala is totally incapable of that, both speaking off the cuff and being funny for five minutes or for even one minute, but also to be self-deprecating in that way that's just very— 0.50

01:17:19.480 Well, by the way, that is a bone that Trump grew.

01:17:22.580 You want to talk about Trump growing?

01:17:23.420 That is a bone he grew.

01:17:24.460 Okay, when Trump first stepped on the scene in 2015, 2016, he did not do self-deprecating.

01:17:28.540 That's right.

01:17:28.840 That is something that you actually saw.

01:17:29.980 He had that great line where he said, I'm supposed to do self-deprecating humor, but I've got nothing, remember?

01:17:35.360 Yeah, yeah, I mean—

01:17:36.120 But he also had that moment.

01:17:38.360 He had that moment on the other podcast, the name of which escapes me, where he said, when you invent an ugly name to call somebody, he's got to be like, phew, phew.

01:17:48.660 You know, and I just thought, like, that is brilliant because he's actually telling you he's a character.

01:17:53.160 You know, he's playing the character to some degree, and he's happy to let you know it, you know?

01:17:57.480 Here's a question that is worth posing to people in your life that loathed him and loved her or loathed him and were okay with her.

01:18:09.640 And it just occurred to me now, ask them, do you think you know Donald Trump?

01:18:15.320 They will all say yes.

01:18:17.440 Do you think you know Kamala Harris?

01:18:19.800 Right, yeah.

01:18:20.640 No one thinks they know Kamala Harris.

01:18:22.560 See, this is a great point, Dennis, because we're saying she did a good job on this speech.

01:18:27.100 Let's not confuse her with Pericles here.

01:18:29.140 We're saying she did a good job because she didn't sound deranged or drugged up or comatose.

01:18:34.080 You know, she still didn't offer anything.

01:18:36.160 And so I agree with your point, Jeremy, that she would have done better, for sure, if we saw that candidate.

01:18:41.560 I think she would have done better to, like, 235 electoral votes. 1.00

01:18:45.660 You know, I think she's getting a little bump out of that, but she still didn't offer anything.

01:18:50.540 To your point, Ben, she tried this at the beginning of the campaign.

01:18:54.500 It doesn't work.

01:18:55.300 It's not sustainable.

01:18:56.320 One thing that might have helped her in the campaign is if people could have pinned her down on a policy position or an achievement ever, once, even in her life.

01:19:05.160 But she tried to be all things to all people, and without any actual convictions, it just totally flopped.

01:19:11.020 And I think the other thing that happened is that even when she would tell stories about herself, they would betray nothing about her.

01:19:16.680 Yeah.

01:19:17.120 Right?

01:19:17.300 She would say – she obviously relished in telling the story about how Joe Biden called her and said that he was dropping out.

01:19:24.180 And how she said, are you okay, Joe?

01:19:25.900 Are you – that was her first one.

01:19:26.620 Are you okay, Joe?

01:19:27.440 But she said – she was doing an interview, and she's like, you want to know a detail that was happening then?

01:19:31.360 I was making breakfast for my nieces.

01:19:33.700 That was the detail.

01:19:35.820 Like, well, that was riveting.

01:19:37.240 Thank you for that insight into your life.

01:19:39.040 And she also – she loves Doritos.

01:19:40.940 Yes.

01:19:41.280 She loves Doritos. 1.00

01:19:42.020 That came up many times on the campaign show.

01:19:44.300 And you know something that you know about Donald Trump?

01:19:46.240 You know why, for example, he doesn't drink or do drugs.

01:19:49.020 Yeah.

01:19:49.380 Because he has actually told us why he doesn't drink or do drugs because of his brother.

01:19:52.940 Yeah.

01:19:53.340 Right?

01:19:53.580 And so, like, these are things that – if you're talking about, like, personal, authentic details, these are actual things that do matter.

01:19:59.400 I do want to raise a glass to the person who's even happier than we are today.

01:20:03.140 And that, of course, is Dr. Jill Biden, the greatest doctor in America.

01:20:07.180 Dr. Jill, if you're watching this, a tribute to you, madam, because let me just say, you and your husband did an excellent job of just putting that knife directly between Kamala Harris and shoulder blades in the late stages of this campaign.

01:20:19.500 Twisting it.

01:20:20.060 Wait.

01:20:20.600 You and Donald J. Trump, you will meet on a beach in Zihuataneo after – where you will be friends, lifelong friends one day.

01:20:29.060 Because it is – I have to say, Jill hates Kamala – like, hates Kamala Harris. 1.00

01:20:34.480 And Joe hates Kamala Harris.

01:20:36.760 And the happiest person today – I'm not sure it's President Trump.

01:20:39.700 The happiest person today might, in fact, be Joseph Robinette Biden.

01:20:42.980 I think I just solved the election.

01:20:48.060 Kamala Harris, not the brightest bulb, is introduced to Dr. Jill Biden. 1.00

01:20:55.740 Dr. Jill Biden writes a prescription on a napkin to Kamala Harris.

01:21:01.800 Kamala Harris doesn't know that Dr. Jill Biden isn't a doctor. 1.00

01:21:06.340 Kamala Harris goes and gets that prescription filled. 0.97

01:21:09.960 She is stoned for 118 straight days, can't form a cogent sentence, drifts through her campaign. 0.99

01:21:17.280 Jeremy, I've noticed a sort of light motif to your commentary on this.

01:21:20.340 On the day after losing, the prescription runs out.

01:21:24.740 She walks out on stage, not even sure how she came to be here.

01:21:27.840 Suddenly she's cogent and coherent, still not smart.

01:21:32.180 Still thinks that Dr. Jill Biden is a doctor.

01:21:34.160 But I don't know.

01:21:35.380 Just not doped up.

01:21:36.620 Just not doped up.

01:21:37.900 You know, I will say, as insulting as the narrative that the media ran out,

01:21:41.520 that Joe Biden was mentally competent, which was the most insulting narrative.

01:21:44.680 And I think it really did have a market effect on this campaign.

01:21:47.000 Like, if Joe Biden had been the campaign since – if Kamala Harris had been the candidate since 2022 or 2023,

01:21:52.900 this is a very different-looking race, I think.

01:21:54.520 The fact that Joe Biden did stick around that long and that that lie was promulgated for full-on years –

01:21:59.020 And that she contributed to that lie.

01:22:00.520 And maintained that lie till today.

01:22:02.760 We'll still say that behind closed doors, man's doing back handsprings and such.

01:22:06.720 The other lie that I can't – there are so many lies about Kamala Harris and her entire campaign that I cannot abide.

01:22:13.880 Obviously, the one personally that I cannot abide is Doug Emhoff Jew. 1.00

01:22:16.940 Like, if I have to hear Doug Emhoff as an emissary of the Jewish people one more time,

01:22:21.120 I'm going to – my head will turn 360 like Linda Blair in The Exorcist.

01:22:25.000 Takuna law.

01:22:25.540 Vomiting in all directions.

01:22:26.760 But the real lie that they kept saying is they kept telling us how qualified and intelligent she was.

01:22:31.720 I'm sorry.

01:22:32.920 She isn't.

01:22:34.120 She isn't.

01:22:35.140 The proof is in front of you.

01:22:36.500 She is not a particularly bright person.

01:22:38.380 And I know Donald Trump got ripped up and down for saying that she was a low-IQ person.

01:22:42.280 She is not a particularly bright person.

01:22:44.580 Okay?

01:22:44.720 She's not an ADIQ person, but this is not a person who's two standard deviations above the American average.

01:22:49.760 Okay?

01:22:49.880 You watch her speak, and she's doing an impression of what a middle-brow person thinks a very smart person sounds like.

01:22:56.140 And it's a bad impersonation.

01:22:57.580 And that lie was so transparent and so obvious.

01:23:00.360 And they kept saying that she was intellectually outclassing him.

01:23:02.740 And all you got was just this, just like pap and pap and memorized pap.

01:23:08.960 And, like, that's not intelligence.

01:23:10.860 Donald Trump, for all of his flaws, the man has an innate grasp of important things.

01:23:16.520 And it turns out that an innate grasp of important things is significantly more important than your ability to regurgitate platitudes that you memorized in the back room before a debate.

01:23:25.940 The other lie is that there's one thing that I'm the only person in American public life who I heard talk about the reality of how our enemies perceived us elevating a woman of no merit to run the world's sole global superpower.

01:23:40.280 It's amazing to me that we just ran this race and no one talked about what it would mean for our national security to do such a thing.

01:23:46.820 There's another unique point of view that I heard during this race, and it came from Matt Walsh, who is the only person I've heard have the audacity to point out that she is not a parent, that she gave speech after speech after speech talking about how one of the hardest things she's done in her life was parent children, which she never did.

01:24:08.140 She married a man with a 20-year-old, which is an adult, and a 15-year-old, which I know the world's a little different now than it used to be.

01:24:16.160 See, my parents cannot tell you what I did from the ages of 14 to today, right?

01:24:23.320 So she did not parent a 15-year-old.

01:24:25.620 I'm not saying she had no responsibilities.

01:24:27.800 I'm not trying to take away any contributions that she may have made in their lives.

01:24:31.580 But when you tell someone that parenting is the hardest thing you'll ever do, that is not what they have in mind.

01:24:36.360 Also, J.D. Vance was right about this.

01:24:38.380 He was right about the lonesome cat ladies. 0.99

01:24:40.100 He wouldn't have said this, but it's also true that women grow wise raising children in the same way men grow wise working.

01:24:49.020 And that is really why older women, you talk to them, and they don't have to have the highest IQ. 1.00

01:24:55.180 They don't have to think in the same way men do, and they say things, and you go like, oh, yeah, that's right.

01:24:58.700 That actually is telling me something I didn't see before.

01:25:00.940 And she doesn't have that.

01:25:01.960 And I think, you know, it matters.

01:25:03.560 It does matter.

01:25:04.400 It doesn't matter that you have a leader with no children.

01:25:06.980 It matters if you have too many leaders with no children.

01:25:09.400 I mean, this is what invests you and gives you flesh in the future.

01:25:13.140 And I think that that actually is an important fact about her.

01:25:15.800 There's something empty and missing about her.

01:25:18.760 And I'm not saying it is because she doesn't have children, but it's because she doesn't have children.

01:25:23.460 She didn't have that experience.

01:25:24.920 Yeah, I'm not saying also, though I do think the left makes a point when they say her sex was a factor here. 0.99

01:25:31.500 I think it was a factor among women. 1.00

01:25:32.640 I know plenty of women who wouldn't vote for a woman to be president. 1.00

01:25:35.660 Okay, and it's politically incorrect to say so.

01:25:38.420 But there are plenty of women who feel that way and plenty of men who feel that way, too.

01:25:41.460 Because they think men and women are different.

01:25:43.480 Yeah, but this is my point.

01:25:45.600 There are women who can be incredible. 1.00

01:25:48.500 Thatcher is a PM or, I don't know, Empress Maria Theresia or Queen Elizabeth.

01:25:53.280 Really, and women possessing, you know. 0.99

01:25:55.860 Although Queen Elizabeth wasn't actually a head of state.

01:25:58.440 The first.

01:25:58.900 The first, yeah, not the second.

01:25:59.740 Second was, yeah.

01:26:01.040 She was a head of state. 0.57

01:26:02.080 She didn't actually run a government. 0.71

01:26:02.820 But also, grant the Thatcher exception.

01:26:04.540 Grant the Maria Theresia exception.

01:26:07.160 Those are exceptions.

01:26:08.620 You know, and she ain't, Kamala ain't no Margaret Thatcher. 1.00

01:26:11.640 I'll grant you a Hillary Clinton exception. 0.89

01:26:13.240 Yes, yes.

01:26:13.740 At least when our enemies around the world, who have no respect whatsoever for women, 0.73

01:26:17.960 who do not believe that women can be strong.

01:26:20.060 The Chinese don't believe that a female president is going to be a credible threat against them. 1.00

01:26:25.640 Vladimir Putin doesn't believe that a female president can be a credible threat against them.

01:26:28.920 The Iranians don't believe that a female president can be a credible threat against them. 0.98

01:26:32.440 At least when they look at Hillary Clinton, who did stare them down as Secretary of State, 0.93

01:26:36.680 whose husband had been president and deployed the United States military,

01:26:39.420 who was kind of a tough old battle axe by the time.

01:26:41.340 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:26:41.860 No, there's no question.

01:26:42.940 At least when they looked at her, there was, it was possible,

01:26:45.800 they would at least have to think, well, I don't know, what if I'm wrong?

01:26:48.280 Yeah.

01:26:48.460 They don't look at Kamala Harris and feel any of that.

01:26:51.160 No way.

01:26:51.440 And I'm sorry, the world doesn't work based on American values,

01:26:55.380 on very, by the way, novel Western values.

01:26:58.220 By the way, and this is-

01:26:58.720 The world works on strength and is run by bad men.

01:27:02.380 And bad men don't look at Kamala Harris and think, oh, I wouldn't test her.

01:27:06.080 Yeah.

01:27:06.280 They look at Kamala Harris and think, I am taking Taiwan.

01:27:09.480 Yes.

01:27:10.420 By the way, she doesn't understand the thing you're saying.

01:27:13.940 One of the reports that came out like a week and a half before the election

01:27:16.820 was that report in the New York Times that said that very early on,

01:27:20.540 she started receiving intelligence briefings.

01:27:22.440 And one of the first things she did when she read the intelligence briefings

01:27:25.240 is she thought that the intelligence briefers were using gendered language 0.99

01:27:28.680 to describe female leaders of foreign countries.

01:27:31.460 And so she literally called up the members of the intelligence community

01:27:35.140 and asked them why they were using sexist language

01:27:37.640 to describe female leaders of foreign countries.

01:27:40.320 And this led to the formation of a DEI committee in the intelligence community

01:27:44.280 in order to go through and-

01:27:45.700 It turned out, by the way, they weren't using gendered language.

01:27:47.500 It didn't matter.

01:27:48.100 They still built up an actual structure inside the intelligence community

01:27:53.440 to make sure the intelligence briefings did not contain sexist language.

01:27:56.380 Oh my goodness.

01:27:56.760 You're wondering why Vladimir Putin might, you know,

01:27:58.880 test her a little or Xi Jinping?

01:28:00.340 That would be why.

01:28:01.500 By the way, folks, we are so thankful for the sponsors

01:28:03.620 that we've had on our Daily Wire election coverage.

01:28:05.660 We want to take a moment to tell you about two of them.

01:28:08.000 Well, after the countless long days we've had over the last few months,

01:28:10.580 from campaign stops to this week's election coverage,

01:28:12.820 I cannot express, in all words,

01:28:15.240 how excited I am to go home and sleep in my Bowen brand sheets.

01:28:18.120 This is true, by the way.

01:28:19.060 They are truly the softest, most luxurious sheets ever made.

01:28:21.200 Now, if you know me, I'm someone who likes facts and logic.

01:28:24.300 Here are the facts.

01:28:24.820 These sheets are made from 100% organic cotton.

01:28:27.060 They're breathable, ethically made.

01:28:28.400 They get softer with every single wash.

01:28:29.780 Unlike most things in life that claim to be premium quality,

01:28:32.100 these sheets are, in fact, the real deal.

01:28:34.080 I'm talking about the kind of quality you feel immediately.

01:28:35.900 The moment you touch them, you'll understand why over half a million Americans,

01:28:39.200 including geniuses like me, sleep on these sheets every single night.

01:28:43.740 By the way, I actually do bring a Bowen and Branch blanket with me when I'm on the road.

01:28:48.040 They are, in fact, that good.

01:28:49.600 I don't like the hotel sheets.

01:28:50.520 I actually bring a blanket with me from Bowen and Branch on the road.

01:28:52.780 And as Donald Trump said, we have to protect our geniuses.

01:28:55.700 Agreed.

01:28:56.160 And Bowen and Branch believes that, too.

01:29:18.360 I also want to tell you about our friends over at BirchGall Group.

01:29:20.560 You may have heard of them before.

01:29:22.360 After holding our breath for the past several months, we can finally exhale.

01:29:25.940 Work can finally be done on some of the major issues this country is facing,

01:29:28.540 one of the most significant issues being our national debt.

01:29:30.660 The fact is, our nation is broke.

01:29:32.740 That debt is a house of cards that can't quickly be dismantled.

01:29:35.180 Michael, do you have plans to protect your vast savings that you have received at our hands?

01:29:39.200 I certainly do, Ben, because while you take blankets and things with you on the road,

01:29:43.000 I take bars of gold.

01:29:44.340 If the apocalypse kicks off, I know.

01:29:46.440 But I do invest in gold.

01:29:49.480 And let me tell you something over the past few weeks.

01:29:51.320 I am glad that I have diversified my portfolio into gold.

01:29:54.840 It's a really great thing.

01:29:56.620 As long as the economy is a little bit, you know, dicey, which is basically all the time,

01:30:01.640 it is really a good thing to consider diversifying into gold.

01:30:05.680 That is why you want a safe haven for your savings.

01:30:44.080 so please support them because they support us.

01:30:46.520 And by the way, their products are awesome.

01:30:48.180 We could not do what we do without them.

01:30:50.160 I would like to ask the group a question.

01:30:52.140 I pulled a Dennis Prager-like experiment this morning.

01:30:55.820 I have a friend in New York who is a devout Jew who is as shattered by October 7th as Ben. 0.99

01:31:04.000 I would say he was shattered by October 7th.

01:31:06.360 That's fair.

01:31:06.800 And should well be.

01:31:08.340 And she's a Democrat.

01:31:10.340 And I've discussed with her.

01:31:11.720 I don't believe you.

01:31:12.740 No, it is absolutely true.

01:31:14.280 I still don't believe you.

01:31:14.980 But go ahead.

01:31:15.640 But it's true.

01:31:16.440 Continue.

01:31:16.720 So I've told her what I think in very mild mannered terms.

01:31:21.400 And she doesn't believe me because she's got that Democrat thing. 0.95

01:31:25.460 So I said to her today, this is going to be a great presidency.

01:31:31.260 Watch what this president does, not what the media says he does.

01:31:35.420 Watch what he does, not what he says.

01:31:37.220 And just tell me if he's not better for the things that you care deeply about.

01:31:42.200 She's almost been all Israel since this has happened. 0.99

01:31:45.660 And she said, okay, I will.

01:31:48.560 Any chance that's going to work?

01:31:50.480 If it hasn't worked already, I have doubts that it's going to work in the future.

01:31:54.020 Again, the reason I don't believe you is not because you are innately non-credible, although that is one reason.

01:32:00.940 Of course.

01:32:01.740 I work at that.

01:32:02.700 The real reason I have trouble believing that is if somebody is truly shattered by October 7th and truly shattered by what happened.

01:32:09.220 Changed your entire personality.

01:32:10.220 If it changed your entire personality, I don't know how you can look yourself in the mirror and look at what Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have done to the state of Israel in the middle of an existential war on seven fronts.

01:32:20.760 And then say that Donald Trump, the most pro-Israel president in American history, bar none, there are no close competitors, that you are so bewildered and befuddled by Donald Trump that you have to vote for Kamala Harris,

01:32:32.160 who couldn't bring herself to even say that Israel was not committing a genocide when people were protesting her rallies.

01:32:36.940 I can explain it to you.

01:32:37.660 Okay, please.

01:32:38.000 Yeah, she gets all her news from places like the New York Times.

01:32:41.780 And so she thinks, oh, he's for Israel.

01:32:44.560 And the New York Times was not shattered by it.

01:32:47.140 So she gets her news from something that has no empathy with her own reactions.

01:32:52.800 It's a farce.

01:32:53.880 But that's the part I find bewildering because I don't know how you could read the New York Times,

01:32:56.960 which runs stories that, shall we say, are mildly non-credible about things like Israeli soldiers shooting children in the head for sports.

01:33:05.940 They ran a front page story suggesting that's what Israeli soldiers were doing.

01:33:09.140 And then they ran x-rays that were clearly not credible x-rays along with that story.

01:33:13.540 And she still believes the New York Times.

01:33:15.640 Every Orthodox Jew that I know canceled the New York Times in 1997. 0.98

01:33:18.800 I'm not even kidding you, okay?

01:33:20.720 Because that was the year that they ran on the front page of the New York Times a photo showing an Israeli soldier who was defending a kid who was having the crap kicked out of him by Palestinians. 0.96

01:33:31.980 And they ran the story. 0.97

01:33:33.620 There's a bleeding kid, soldier.

01:33:34.940 And they ran the caption underneath the picture suggesting that it was an Israeli soldier beating a Palestinian child.

01:33:41.300 They ran it on the front page of the New York Times.

01:33:43.880 Every single Jew that I know, except for Dennis, who has to read it for informational purposes, every single Jew that I know canceled the New York Times if they cared about that. 0.85

01:33:51.240 The New York Times has been a laughingstock in the Orthodox Jewish community for the last three decades. 1.00

01:33:54.400 But she's not getting into news.

01:33:56.140 By the way, I should point out that Donald Trump did great with the Jews this election. 0.94

01:34:00.700 Yes, yes.

01:34:01.200 Did great.

01:34:01.820 He won districts in New Jersey.

01:34:03.440 He has not come close to winning.

01:34:04.760 He won in excess of 43% of the vote in New York.

01:34:08.360 One-third of New York City went for Donald – New York City went for Donald Trump in this election cycle.

01:34:13.200 There were trucks that were broadcasting songs in Yiddish about voting.

01:34:17.220 I showed one to Knowles before the actual – it was amazing.

01:34:20.120 They're going through Lakewood, New Jersey with a school bus blasting out in Yiddish.

01:34:24.480 Vote for Donald Trump.

01:34:25.440 I want to say that this is a place where I think you have a little bit of a blind spot then.

01:34:31.360 And it's because you have a very high expectation of people generally and particularly have a very high expectation of your fellow Jews.

01:34:42.900 The truth is most people are only beginning to wake up to the fact that the media is not credible.

01:34:50.180 That's fair.

01:34:50.540 That's what I'm saying.

01:34:52.120 That's fair.

01:34:52.260 And it is incredibly hard to change your priors.

01:34:56.560 I mean, it's almost impossible for a person to change their priors.

01:35:00.580 It requires the one thing that humans are the most loathe to do, which is admit that they are wrong.

01:35:06.280 And I'm not exaggerating when I say people literally take their own lives because that is easier.

01:35:12.400 I agree with you.

01:35:12.900 Than changing their view of themselves and their view of the world. 0.96

01:35:15.240 Absolutely.

01:35:15.600 Than changing their mind.

01:35:16.220 And we have friends.

01:35:18.080 We've talked about them on the show.

01:35:19.340 I don't think it does that much good to name them because we have had relationships with them in the past.

01:35:24.760 But we have friends who act today as though Donald Trump were never president of the United States.

01:35:32.060 All of them, all of them have done that.

01:35:34.120 There is no, there is, they are not impacted at all by the actual record of the man being president.

01:35:40.880 They are still reacting to him as though it were the year 2016 because they came to a conclusion in 2016.

01:35:47.280 By the way, I came to that same conclusion in 2016.

01:35:49.900 I wrote a series of letters to my friend Dennis Prager in 2016.

01:35:53.440 Some of the things I said came true.

01:35:55.020 Some of the things that I said did not.

01:35:56.980 The presidency of Donald Trump was the test of the theories that I put forward in 2016.

01:36:00.980 And now I can tell you which parts came true.

01:36:02.920 I can tell you which parts didn't.

01:36:04.200 And I can tell you how that's impacted how I see Donald Trump.

01:36:06.880 But they don't do that.

01:36:08.100 I want to react to your point about people not giving up what they have held, which is, that's the great book, The God That Failed.

01:36:15.880 It's about people who believed in communism and then saw that it was the greatest mass murder movement in the history of humanity.

01:36:22.720 Wonderful book.

01:36:23.220 So, what people need to understand, and this is the central message of my life's work, has been the consequences of secularism.

01:36:34.900 What happens in a post-Judeo-Christian world? 0.97

01:36:37.600 That's been the most constant theme of all of my work.

01:36:41.960 And the answer is that people do not stop being religious.

01:36:46.620 They just change religions. 0.99

01:36:48.920 Secular religions simply substitute for Judaism and Christianity. 0.91

01:36:53.220 Environmentalism is a religion.

01:36:55.880 Feminism is a religion. 1.00

01:36:57.880 Communism is a religion.

01:36:59.340 Socialism is a religion.

01:37:01.040 All of these are religions.

01:37:03.960 And an environmentalist is as likely to give up the belief that the world is about to implode from global warming as a Christian is going to give up belief in Christ. 0.53

01:37:17.340 That is what we need to understand.

01:37:20.960 They have adopted religion.

01:37:23.000 The great quote is not from me.

01:37:25.420 They say it's from G.K. Chesterton, but we have no proof that he said it.

01:37:28.940 But he probably did because he was just so bright.

01:37:32.000 But whoever said it, when people stop believing in God, they don't believe in nothing.

01:37:37.500 They believe in anything.

01:37:38.700 And it's only secular people who say men give birth.

01:37:44.360 Not all secular people say it, but only secular people say it.

01:37:49.140 Why that alone doesn't keep people or convince people that God is necessary, even if you don't believe, you don't know there's a God.

01:37:58.700 I don't care.

01:37:59.220 I want you to understand what Douglas Murray, who was an agnostic, understands.

01:38:03.820 The end of religion in the West is the end of the West. 0.94

01:38:07.200 You know, the thing that I'll say also to you, Jeremy, is you're right.

01:38:11.080 I do hold religious people and my fellow Orthodox Jews to a higher standard.

01:38:16.020 And that's because they're supposedly holding themselves to a higher standard.

01:38:19.440 So there is a higher burden on you if you're a religious person to hold up the facts of the world against the religious values that you claim to hold central to you.

01:38:28.020 You know, the thing as a religious person that you are called upon to do is to place aside your personal valuation of particular situations in favor of the values that are actually eternal.

01:38:40.500 And so if you are having such a hard time giving up your perception that the New York Times is a solid and wonderful newspaper,

01:38:45.980 they are unwilling to see through that because for some reason that holds an identity to you in some way.

01:38:52.640 No matter how many times your fellow Orthodox Jews are saying to you, for example, look at what he's actually doing. 0.91

01:38:58.460 Just look at it.

01:38:59.540 Then that betrays a lack of – it does betray a lack of principle in some way.

01:39:03.900 But most people read just the headlines.

01:39:05.480 I understand.

01:39:06.240 So listen, ignorance is a defense.

01:39:08.580 But at a certain point, ignorance is no longer a defense, right?

01:39:10.380 Of course, I'm defending Drew's friend whom I do not know or know anything about only because I'm a Zionist shill.

01:39:19.120 And I assume that at some point I'll be paid for my defense effort.

01:39:25.200 In shekels.

01:39:25.860 You always get that in shekels.

01:39:26.720 But no, all I'm saying is that the very fact that she said to Drew today, okay, I'll do that, means that in this one individual case, there's some hope.

01:39:38.660 I don't think that we can say that this is a person for whom we can conclude that ignorance is no longer a defense.

01:39:43.500 I think this is a person who possibly is in the process of waking up to their ignorance.

01:39:48.700 And it's difficult particularly – I bring this up sometimes on the show, right?

01:39:53.340 It's difficult for people like us who spend our time advocating for values.

01:39:58.680 And when you advocate for values, you're necessarily advocating for black and white. 0.99

01:40:05.640 You're necessarily advocating for absolutes.

01:40:08.860 But no humans live within the realm of absolutes.

01:40:11.380 Humans live in the very, very messy thing called reality.

01:40:14.560 And in the messy place called reality, when we say – I only say this for the audience.

01:40:19.260 You know my argument because you've heard it.

01:40:20.540 But when we say, for example, if you want to have a successful life, it's easy.

01:40:25.300 There's really only three things you need to know.

01:40:27.280 Don't have sex before you – or don't – 0.96

01:40:30.300 No childbearing before marriage. 0.78

01:40:31.260 No childbearing before marriage. 0.78

01:40:33.120 Get a job, finish high school.

01:40:34.200 Get a job, finish high school.

01:40:34.760 And get married.

01:40:36.560 But Ben has cited this study many times that the three most determinative things, don't have a child before you're married.

01:40:42.800 Finish high school.

01:40:43.440 Finish high school, get a job.

01:40:44.320 But most people to whom we're speaking, if they're not already living the life that we're trying to call them to, have already failed at one or two or three of those things.

01:40:54.400 And so we have to make sure that while we're advocating for our set of values, we leave room for people to live in the messy world and draw near to – because, by the way, we also don't perfectly embody our values.

01:41:06.520 At best, we're trying to draw near to God, and we have maybe different points of view about exactly how that's accomplished.

01:41:12.240 But that's the only place where I'm pushing back.

01:41:15.640 And pushing back in particular because I know that I think that you – in some ways, because of your superpowers, in some ways, because of them, it can be hard for you sometimes to see that mere mortals sometimes are striving towards something because –

01:41:30.060 I get that, but I will say that I think particularly because the last year has been what the last year has been –

01:41:35.280 Of course.

01:41:35.960 It is an angering thing that people have not woken up earlier.

01:41:39.420 Yeah, it sure is.

01:41:41.280 Like, I mean, again, I hope that your friend really holds by that.

01:41:45.640 I hope that your friend does reconsider.

01:41:47.440 I hope that the whole American people take this opportunity, frankly, to reconsider the inevitability and the reality of Donald Trump's second presidency and stop looking at it through the prism of MSNBC's linguistic inability to understand Donald Trump and start looking at it as, is your life better?

01:42:03.080 Because I think 51 percent of the population in the United States already concluded their life was better than Donald Trump.

01:42:07.120 And they did what you said.

01:42:08.220 They did pay attention.

01:42:09.320 A lot of people, even on the left, have said that voters paid attention to the fact that life was better under Trump.

01:42:15.020 And I hope that your friend will make the check payable to Jeremy D. Boring.

01:42:19.880 We'll talk after.

01:42:20.900 We'll talk after.

01:42:21.820 Matt?

01:42:22.500 Yeah, we also just can't underestimate the extent to which most anti – and maybe not your friend, but the extent to which many anti-Trump people have just organized their whole identity around the simple fact of being anti-Trump.

01:42:35.360 Yeah.

01:42:35.480 And, you know, we talk about the cult of personality around Trump, but there's this like – there's this – on the other side, there's this strange sort of answer to that where – I'm not sure we've ever seen that before around a particular person where you've got millions of people who find their identity in hating that one individual person.

01:42:59.060 Well, there's a deep religious phenomenon going on, which is, like so much of liberalism, just an ape and an inversion of Christianity.

01:43:06.820 Just in Christianity, especially drawing from the Neoplatonic tradition that comes up through the scholastics in Christianity, going back to St. Augustine even, there's this notion that existence is good.

01:43:18.500 So there is good, and good exists.

01:43:20.180 We're not living in a Manichean dualist world where there's the good force and the bad force, and they're ever at odds.

01:43:25.540 There's just good.

01:43:26.360 God is just good.

01:43:27.520 And evil, in the Christian view, is the privation of the good.

01:43:31.240 In modern liberal ideology, there really is no absolute good.

01:43:36.640 There's just absolute evil.

01:43:38.780 There is the pure incarnation of evil in Hitler, where you could say even Hitler is not Hitler, or now in Trump. 0.98

01:43:45.700 When they say Trump is Hitler, they're saying evil is evil, Trump is evil, he's the... 0.90

01:43:50.120 But that is an inversion of the Christian view. 0.97

01:43:53.280 There have been three major horror movies that came out in the last year in which there was a demon, but there was no God.

01:44:00.520 I'd never seen...

01:44:01.220 Even one of them was a sequel to The Exorcist.

01:44:03.620 They were possessed, but there was no God.

01:44:06.360 It was only if you believed something.

01:44:08.240 And you could bring in all these other religious traditions to exercise them.

01:44:10.760 Yes, and any religious tradition was as good as any other.

01:44:12.860 But I've never seen that in a horror movie before, where the evil is pure and the evil exists.

01:44:18.260 Yes.

01:44:18.620 But there's no...

01:44:19.880 It's a great example of this.

01:44:21.780 Evil from the point of view of Annihilist.

01:44:24.520 I'm going to ask three questions from DailyWire.com members.

01:44:27.740 These are people who support the work that we do and I think receive good value from it.

01:44:32.080 For example, access to all the shows, access to the films made by...

01:44:35.460 Well, only Matt Walsh of this lot makes any.

01:44:38.020 But there are other films on the platform.

01:44:39.660 That's not true. You made Lady Ballers. 1.00

01:44:40.900 That's true. There was a Lady Ballers movie. 0.99

01:44:43.580 You can go over to DailyWire.com, slash subscribe.

01:44:46.320 Become a member.

01:44:46.860 For 47% off today, you could use promo code TRUMP.

01:44:49.920 Trump is our 47th president.

01:44:51.640 I'll never get tired of saying it.

01:44:53.200 It's pretty fun.

01:44:53.880 And there will never be a 48th.

01:44:55.280 So this promo code will last for a thousand years.

01:44:59.060 He lied to me.

01:45:01.120 He promised me that we would win so much I'd be tired of winning.

01:45:04.780 And I'm not tired of winning.

01:45:06.800 I slept for two hours last night.

01:45:08.200 I'm tired from winning.

01:45:09.460 I'm not tired of winning.

01:45:10.920 I want more.

01:45:11.500 I want more winning.

01:45:12.140 So as a preamble to this first question, I want to tell you about the most moving moment

01:45:17.520 of the night last night.

01:45:18.860 And two people experienced it.

01:45:20.600 Actually, Caleb experienced it.

01:45:21.760 And then independently, I experienced it.

01:45:23.640 I think Caleb experienced the actual moment of it.

01:45:26.880 And I experienced a version of it a few minutes later.

01:45:29.600 But even for me, it was moving.

01:45:32.820 The celebration had happened.

01:45:34.360 I think this happened to me as well.

01:45:35.240 I think this happened to me too.

01:45:37.100 Yeah.

01:45:37.280 Because I think it was a profound moment.

01:45:38.900 It was profound.

01:45:39.320 It was the only time I choked up.

01:45:41.600 Because, so we probably all had a moment of this.

01:45:44.240 The whole thing was happening.

01:45:45.740 And our dear friend, Siaka, Black Jeremy.

01:45:48.480 That was it.

01:45:48.900 Yeah, yeah.

01:45:50.000 Walked up and said, he put his arms around me and he said, I'm not going to prison.

01:45:55.280 I just wrote about this.

01:45:56.100 And Siaka was there on January 6th.

01:45:59.400 Siaka did not engage in any violence on January 6th.

01:46:01.900 But he was there.

01:46:03.820 He had his home raided by the FBI in Southern California two years ago.

01:46:09.680 Day after a movie premiere.

01:46:11.020 No, no, no, no, no.

01:46:11.740 He had his home raided two years ago in Southern California.

01:46:15.720 And then an entire year after having his home raided by armed agents,

01:46:20.720 he flew out here for the premiere of Lady Ballers,

01:46:22.720 which he had played a small and very, very funny role in.

01:46:26.100 And when he flew home, they pulled him out of line at the airport in LA and arrested him.

01:46:31.880 They had had years, three years to have done this.

01:46:36.300 In fact, they had raided his home and still not.

01:46:38.200 And they arrested him at that moment.

01:46:39.680 And so here was Siaka realizing, and I say this to say,

01:46:42.760 there are genuine, genuine consequences of elections.

01:46:47.440 And here was a man realizing in real time what this means for him as a person.

01:46:52.860 And the question from the member is, do you think Trump will pardon everyone from January 6th

01:46:58.520 and the people that were jailed for praying in front of the abortion clinics?

01:47:01.640 I think he, if he doesn't, that would be the worst possible sign that he's not going to use this opportunity

01:47:10.080 to advance his agenda in any meaningful way.

01:47:13.440 But I think he will.

01:47:14.380 I mean, he must.

01:47:15.380 He must.

01:47:16.140 And I absolutely think he will.

01:47:17.480 I would be shocked if he has.

01:47:18.600 He might not, pardon every single, there may have been people who actually committed acts of violence.

01:47:22.280 There were people.

01:47:22.880 Yes.

01:47:23.120 There were people on January 6th who deserved to be in jail.

01:47:24.840 100% are political.

01:47:25.900 Our political.

01:47:26.460 And there's an important point to make.

01:47:28.220 I agree with you.

01:47:29.120 There's an important point to make looking down the barrel that we have a Republican White House,

01:47:32.480 Senate, and probably House.

01:47:34.520 When the member asked this question about people who are jailed for praying in front of abortion clinics,

01:47:41.260 they're talking about a law called the FACE Act, which was passed in the 90s.

01:47:45.000 It was under Bill Clinton.

01:47:45.920 It was a dishonest law from the start because it said it was going to protect access to abortion clinics on one end

01:47:51.740 and places of worship on the other.

01:47:53.600 And that second part was completely fake.

01:47:56.080 It was contrived to get the law through.

01:47:58.140 That is not what the law is used for.

01:47:59.600 The law is used to punish pro-lifers.

01:48:01.900 And pregnancy centers, too.

01:48:03.680 It's supposed to protect.

01:48:04.320 It's supposed to.

01:48:05.040 It's never used to do that.

01:48:05.600 And they've been burned down and nothing has been done.

01:48:06.860 Of course.

01:48:07.400 It is only used to go after pro-lifers who demonstrate peacefully at baby killing mills.

01:48:13.560 And I am calling on Republican lawmakers in the House and in the Senate and on President Trump,

01:48:19.260 who is the most pro-life president we've ever had.

01:48:20.800 Please put all your political capital that you got behind repealing the FACE Act,

01:48:26.800 which is one of the most unjust laws in the United States.

01:48:30.780 Beautiful, innocent people.

01:48:32.280 75-year-old women who all they do is pray peacefully in front of abortion clinics are sitting in prison right now, 0.54

01:48:39.060 in nasty, dangerous prisons because of this disgusting law.

01:48:42.380 It's one of the gravest injustices in the country.

01:48:44.980 Every Republican lawmaker, get up when you're sworn into office and repeal the FACE Act finally.

01:48:51.520 Absolutely.

01:48:52.100 But before that is repealed and that needs to happen, Trump also just needs to pardon.

01:48:57.580 And also pardon.

01:48:58.680 There are old women who are right now going to federal prison for praying in front of abortion clinic. 1.00

01:49:04.000 And so that's something that I truly believe he'll do this almost right away.

01:49:07.440 He must do it.

01:49:07.960 And I think he will do it.

01:49:08.740 How do you think, I love asking questions, how do you think Merrick Garland will be regarded to the extent that he is ever remembered?

01:49:17.620 I mean, it's a serious question.

01:49:19.380 Yeah, well, he's your brother, Drew.

01:49:21.180 He turned out to be a very bad human being.

01:49:27.180 And that was the portrayal of him when he was nominated for the Supreme Court was angelic. 0.93

01:49:33.240 And he turned out to be diabolic.

01:49:35.560 Well, it may even be the case that he was a better man.

01:49:39.000 People are broken by the circumstances.

01:49:40.820 Some people rise to circumstances.

01:49:42.560 I think he's corrupted.

01:49:43.560 Some people are defeated by circumstances.

01:49:44.620 That's an interesting answer.

01:49:45.180 And we talked last night about John McCain.

01:49:47.140 Again, John McCain patriot.

01:49:49.220 John McCain hero.

01:49:50.000 I know you for that example.

01:49:50.640 And he gave in to his hatred of Trump.

01:49:53.240 And it seems to me that Merrick Garland gave in to this hatred.

01:49:57.440 So it's one of these great philosophic questions to which there may be an answer.

01:50:04.220 Can you know anyone, including yourself, until you're tested?

01:50:10.220 Until they have power.

01:50:11.300 It's a very, very tough question to answer.

01:50:14.080 Yes, and it goes to my fundamental problem, as we've been discussing this of late, too, with Christians in America in particular, with evangelicals who abstain from the political process to maintain their vision of their own purity.

01:50:28.640 That God disciplines those whom he loves.

01:50:32.660 That doesn't mean that God punishes those whom he loves.

01:50:35.500 It doesn't mean that God breaks those whom he loves.

01:50:37.720 In fact, you know, it's in the Bible.

01:50:40.660 I think it's a New Testament idea, but that a bruised reed he will not break.

01:50:44.780 But discipline is different.

01:50:45.960 God does discipline those whom he loves.

01:50:48.720 And you are disciplined through trial.

01:50:50.940 You're disciplined through testing.

01:50:52.580 So I think that, no, you cannot know yourself until you are tested.

01:50:56.140 And I believe that it is the responsibility of a man to go out into the world where the tests await.

01:51:02.000 And if you abstain from life to maintain your idyllic view of yourself, what you're actually doing is saying, I would rather not be tested and see myself as good than be tested and find out.

01:51:16.180 Or probably more accurately, it's not be tested and find out.

01:51:19.960 It's be tested and be made better.

01:51:22.140 You know, it's an interesting paradox that, as Jordan said last night, and this is absolutely true, the left looks at every relationship in terms of power.

01:51:29.660 The power is the only reality they believe in.

01:51:31.480 And yet they never question what it's going to do to people to have the power, for instance, to redistribute wealth.

01:51:37.260 Which is, to me, the great flaw in Marxism is that there's this entity, this state, that is going to do all these things, but nobody's going to have any power.

01:51:44.280 And, you know, the minute you give people that power, they become corrupt.

01:51:47.240 Power is incredibly corrupt.

01:51:48.760 So in terms of tests, I'd like to share something that I addressed to Christians about, yeah, a year ago, after October 7th, when a certain eruption, I don't want to overstate how much,

01:52:01.200 but a certain eruption of anti-Semitism took place in the most pro-Jewish, non-Jewish country in the history of the world since perhaps Darius's Persia.

01:52:08.860 And what I'd said was, not a lot, but I'm reading reports of Jews taking down the mezuzah from their doorpost. 0.97

01:52:18.720 The mezuzah is this little box containing a little part of the Torah, love God with all your heart, and the credo of Judaism,

01:52:27.440 hero Israel, the Lord our God, and the Lord is one.

01:52:30.280 And I said, instead of Jews taking it down, why don't Christians put up the mezuzah on their doorpost? 1.00

01:52:38.000 And I want to just say, and I'm almost holding back tears,

01:52:43.640 the number of Christians who sent me pictures of themselves standing in front of their door with the mezuzah,

01:52:49.000 and I, this is a perfect, the Daily Wire is a perfect vehicle for that project.

01:52:56.000 This, this is, you're not defying the Gestapo, you're not risking your life or limb,

01:53:02.380 but you are doing something heroic.

01:53:05.440 Just putting that little box on your doorpost.

01:53:08.560 I know several people who started wearing Jewish stars.

01:53:11.240 Patty Heaton did it. 0.98

01:53:11.840 Patty Heaton did it. 0.98

01:53:12.460 Patty's great.

01:53:12.920 Patty, an incredibly devout Catholic and actress and Nashville resident and long-time friend of all of ours, I think,

01:53:20.600 really took up that, yep, took up that cause.

01:53:22.940 It was, it's basically, it's not in any way for a Christian a violation of anything.

01:53:27.800 That verse is in our Bible.

01:53:29.400 Exactly.

01:53:30.560 Love God and love your neighbor, the two great principles.

01:53:32.980 This begins with the love God.

01:53:34.420 Dennis, what do you think about this option?

01:53:36.100 Instead of putting the mezuzah up, could I just wear a giant strimal? 0.98

01:53:39.620 Because I think those look really cool.

01:53:40.960 The furry ones.

01:53:41.960 The furry ones.

01:53:42.580 So wait, wait, wait.

01:53:43.340 They're expensive.

01:53:43.720 So wait, I'll just wear one.

01:53:44.820 Just wear it in general.

01:53:46.220 Or I'll put a picture of you wearing one instead of the mezuzah. 0.96

01:53:48.580 It could be my new headshot.

01:53:51.700 What can say, this is actually, this is my favorite question of all the questions asked by dailywire.com members during the broadcast today.

01:53:58.380 What concessions should be made by Republicans to keep this level of participation and support from the center and center left?

01:54:05.580 Essentially, Donald Trump picked up enormous gains among non-traditionally conservative voters.

01:54:11.640 The question is obviously a controversial one.

01:54:15.520 It's what continued compromises should be made to keep that coalition in place.

01:54:18.160 You don't have to.

01:54:19.740 Trump didn't give up much.

01:54:21.320 He spoke in a somewhat mealy-mouthed way on abortion, which was the one issue the Democrats were getting some traction on.

01:54:26.000 But other than that, and I don't think he conceded much, if anything, in principle, Bobby Kennedy was scandalized by his own party.

01:54:35.160 Elon Musk was scandalized by his own party.

01:54:37.540 The people on the left were just, the left had gone too far.

01:54:41.560 And so they started to make this turn of their heads and their minds to the right.

01:54:46.560 That's an opening and an opportunity for us.

01:54:48.680 Just as, I don't know, when I was younger I was less conservative.

01:54:51.320 I was always kind of conservative, but I've become deeper in my conservatism over time.

01:54:55.460 Well, good, let's welcome Kennedy or Elon, wherever they are, but let's invite them to come a little deeper into conservatism.

01:55:02.660 I think, you know, they're on our team now, and team politics is important.

01:55:06.580 So let's bring them in.

01:55:07.360 So that's very idealistic, and I think almost totally wrong.

01:55:10.540 So I think the reason I say that is because Donald Trump went through the Republican national platform and stripped three-quarters of the policy out of it.

01:55:19.040 He forcibly dissociated from Project 2025 and then said publicly a week before the election,

01:55:25.620 anyone whose name was in Project 2025 could not be part of the administration.

01:55:29.620 So the idea that he didn't make concessions in order to win a broader coalition is not true.

01:55:33.320 Now, I think the answer to the question is it's situational.

01:55:36.420 Okay, so one of the things that I think is really important, particularly in our line of work,

01:55:40.300 is to separate the principled from the pragmatic.

01:55:43.540 These are not exactly the same thing.

01:55:45.580 And when you are in the practice of politics, the principle has to be tempered by pragmatism.

01:55:50.000 So it's our job to say how far politicians are straying from principle,

01:55:53.540 and then it's their job to try and get 80 percent of the pie.

01:55:57.040 And so the question is, how much do you have to give up in order to continue to receive 51 percent of the vote?

01:56:01.800 And I think, I mean, let's be real.

01:56:04.380 It was a landslide in the terms that we use for presidential elections.

01:56:07.480 It's not a landslide.

01:56:08.440 I mean, like, normally if you say 51-48, that's now considered a presidential landslide.

01:56:12.960 But in any other area of American life, if you said that you had a room of 100 people and 51 voted one way and 48 voted the other,

01:56:17.480 you wouldn't go, my God, that's a blowout.

01:56:18.820 You'd say, that's pretty close.

01:56:19.960 In other words, this is a very, very tightly divided country still, clearly.

01:56:24.380 Right?

01:56:24.500 We've had three consecutive, incredibly tight elections.

01:56:27.340 And if you go back before Barack Obama, you had a very tight election in 2004 and a very tight election in 2000.

01:56:32.100 This is a very closely divided country.

01:56:33.840 What that means is William F. Buckley, who is now widely derided for reasons that escape my understanding.

01:56:41.700 William F. Buckley once said that the purpose of a primary is to select the most plausible conservative candidate who could win.

01:56:48.360 The most conservative candidate who can win.

01:56:50.300 And that is the same answer today.

01:56:52.440 Who is the, what is the most conservative thing that you can push and still win?

01:56:56.320 And still win.

01:56:56.920 It sounds like ugly to us because we're in the business of principle.

01:56:59.700 And it should sound ugly because pragmatism is dirtying.

01:57:03.020 It's what you said about, you know, religious people getting involved in politics.

01:57:05.580 It means that you have to make concessions and bargains with things that you don't like.

01:57:08.860 Listen, as you say, Jeremy and I are exactly the same on the pro-life issue.

01:57:12.920 I'd love a candidate who came out and tomorrow said constitutional amendment banning all abortion in the United States. 0.96

01:57:16.980 Like, that'd be great.

01:57:17.540 But also, that is a great way to alienate Elon Musk and alienate Joe Rogan and all the people who voted for, if Donald Trump had run on a platform that we all approve of socially, right?

01:57:28.660 Like, traditional marriage, for example, traditional, let's say he went back to, like, the 2004 Republican platform.

01:57:33.780 Traditional marriage, no abortion, even up to, even if you took the George W. Bush position with exceptions for rape and incest, it would have been too much for them.

01:57:40.460 Those positions, Rogan's not on board.

01:57:42.900 Elon's not on board.

01:57:43.780 Okay, that's the reality.

01:57:45.240 The Republican Party just jettisoned two-thirds of its economic program in terms of spending.

01:57:50.520 I'm old enough to remember the Tea Party.

01:57:51.720 Well, not long ago.

01:57:52.420 The Tea Party was all about government spending in national debt.

01:57:54.620 But Donald Trump spent the most money of any president in history up until Joe Biden.

01:57:59.420 And so that was jettisoned in order to win votes.

01:58:02.220 Pretending that didn't happen doesn't make the thing go away.

01:58:04.480 And I also think it's dangerous to pretend that it did because then you actually are sacrificing the principle.

01:58:09.220 You didn't change the principle.

01:58:11.020 The principle is, in fact, being negotiated in order to achieve the thing.

01:58:14.940 That's not a sin.

01:58:16.300 That's just called politics.

01:58:17.660 That is how you get to the coalitional majority.

01:58:19.760 There's a little idealism in this view of things, too, though, because we all remember the halcyon days of the Tea Party.

01:58:25.720 The Tea Party in office did not accomplish very much.

01:58:29.140 Republicans have not cut spending since Calvin Coolidge, by my calculation.

01:58:33.320 I agree.

01:58:33.860 So, you know, this stuff—

01:58:34.920 The point I'm making is that the revealed preferences of the American people tend to actually be pretty consistent.

01:58:39.400 Okay, here's where the American people are by pretty much every poll statistic.

01:58:42.120 Okay, and regardless—this is not about what we want.

01:58:43.900 This is what the American people keep showing.

01:58:45.040 The American people, on abortion restrictions, if you were to take, like, a national average, okay, because we're doing national elections, not in each state, right?

01:58:51.380 Florida's going to ban abortion. 1.00

01:58:52.620 New York's going to have abortions until they're nine. 1.00

01:58:54.500 But, like, on the average, the American people are somewhere between 12 and 15 weeks on abortion bans.

01:58:59.140 If you're looking at entitlement spending, the American people are fine with entitlement spending.

01:59:04.560 They don't want the entitlements touched.

01:59:06.020 They want that maintained.

01:59:06.980 And they get very, very scared anytime anyone talks about a serious entitlement reform, including smart ones like the one that should have been done in 2005 when George W. Bush essentially recommended, you know, for all the hatred we have, his proposal on Social Security would have made this country so much richer it's not even imaginable.

01:59:21.540 Okay, he suggested that we just take what you were putting into Social Security and put it in a private savings account that would have been invested in the stock market.

01:59:27.620 Can you imagine if they had done that?

01:59:29.280 The stock market is currently riding at 43,000, the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

01:59:32.860 I don't even remember what it was riding at in 2005.

01:59:35.100 I promise you it was a fraction of that.

01:59:36.540 Okay, so all that's been jettisoned, okay?

01:59:39.100 And the American people don't care about that.

01:59:41.600 They also don't want high taxes.

01:59:42.880 They want low taxes.

01:59:43.760 They want high spending.

01:59:44.840 They want some abortion restrictions, but not tons of abortion restrictions.

01:59:48.220 They don't seem to care too much about gay marriage anymore, right?

01:59:50.680 This is where the American people are.

01:59:51.960 They want school choice, and they want the border closed.

01:59:53.920 Right, they want school choice.

01:59:54.800 And then on our side, they want school choice.

01:59:56.500 They want the border closed.

01:59:56.780 No, no, no, no, not just on our side.

01:59:58.540 No, no, I mean-

01:59:59.200 Plurality on both sides.

02:00:00.320 I mean that on an issue.

02:00:01.080 They want school choice.

02:00:03.240 They want the border closed.

02:00:04.000 They want a strong American military that deters war and prevents foreign actors from 0.98

02:00:09.080 doing bad things to us.

02:00:10.320 They want strong policing, right?

02:00:12.020 They want mass deportations.

02:00:13.740 I mean, yes.

02:00:14.580 That's a majority view.

02:00:16.360 That's a majority view, yeah.

02:00:17.460 And it'll be interesting to see, by the way.

02:00:18.960 I do wonder when it comes to mass deportations, whether the revealed preference of the American

02:00:23.000 people will be different from the thing that they're saying right now.

02:00:25.880 Because I think when most people think mass deportations, they're thinking of the Venezuelan

02:00:29.040 gang members who are taking over apartment buildings in Colorado.

02:00:31.520 They're not thinking of, you know, the gardeners in Los Angeles.

02:00:35.480 Trump knows that.

02:00:36.460 I know he knows that.

02:00:37.060 That's why he's not going to do it, by the way.

02:00:37.720 The other thing we're really fortunate about is we need some structural changes that nobody

02:00:42.640 is going to really be thinking about.

02:00:44.240 You know, the whole thing about the bureaucracy, about Chevron.

02:00:46.780 Those are huge, huge deals.

02:00:48.840 Because they, you know, I think of Trump, you know, before the running back, I hate to

02:00:52.820 use a football metaphor, but I love the game.

02:00:54.720 Before the running back can take off, some 300-pound guy has got to knock the lineman out

02:00:59.880 of his way.

02:01:00.640 That's the way I think of Donald Trump.

02:01:01.900 I think he is setting—

02:01:04.680 You know, you should teach this stuff to Tim Walton.

02:01:06.400 He might have won if he'd known this.

02:01:07.620 You know, when you're running a pick-six play—no, I think this is the moment when

02:01:12.340 the future of conservatism, the structure of the future of conservatism will be built.

02:01:17.820 It's not when conservatism will be built.

02:01:19.820 So I would like to read—

02:01:20.860 It's when it will become possible.

02:01:21.920 I would like to read one thing to everyone and then ask Dennis Prager a question before

02:01:26.420 we part.

02:01:27.320 And here's what I would like to read to you.

02:01:28.720 I have not read this in advance, so you're experiencing it as I do, but I suspect you

02:01:33.660 should grab your leftist-hears tumblers.

02:01:37.180 From the official Barack Obama Twitter account, here is our official statement on the results

02:01:42.940 of the 2024 presidential election.

02:01:45.060 A statement by President and Mrs.—this is the actual header—statement by President and

02:01:49.480 Mrs. Obama on the 2024 presidential election.

02:01:52.400 They've decided to put out a written statement because, as we know, they're very camera-shy.

02:01:56.080 Over the last few weeks and through Election Day, millions of Americans cast their votes,

02:02:03.800 not just for president, but for leaders at every level.

02:02:06.540 Now the results are in, and we want to congratulate President Trump and Senator Vance on their victory.

02:02:11.520 This is obviously not the outcome we had hoped for, given our profound disagreements with

02:02:15.460 the Republican ticket on a whole host of issues.

02:02:17.620 But living in a democracy is about recognizing that our point of view won't always win out

02:02:21.480 and being willing to accept the peaceful transfer of power.

02:02:24.160 However, Michelle and I couldn't be prouder of Vice President Harris and Governor Walz

02:02:27.740 to extraordinary public servants who ran a remarkable campaign.

02:02:32.120 And we will always be grateful to the staff and volunteers who poured their heart and soul

02:02:35.900 into electing public servants they truly believed in, including Hitler. 0.64

02:02:42.380 As I said on the campaign trail, America has been through a lot over the last few years,

02:02:46.720 from an historic pandemic and price hikes resulting from that pandemic

02:02:50.060 to rapid change in the feeling, a lot of folks have that no matter how hard they work,

02:02:53.900 treading water is the best they can do.

02:02:55.760 Those conditions have created headwinds for Democratic incumbents around the world,

02:02:59.520 and last night showed that America is not immune.

02:03:01.900 The good news is these problems are solvable, but only if we listen to each other,

02:03:05.480 and only if we abide by the core constitutional principles and Democratic norms

02:03:09.480 that made this country great.

02:03:11.220 In a country as big and diverse as ours, we won't always see eye-to-eye on everything,

02:03:14.640 but progress requires us to extend good faith and grace,

02:03:18.080 even to people with whom we deeply disagree.

02:03:20.460 That's how we've come this far, and it's how we'll keep building a country

02:03:23.360 that is more fair and more just and more equal and more free.

02:03:27.820 Wow.

02:03:28.520 What about the existential threat, though?

02:03:30.420 I want to say that this is a very gracious statement,

02:03:33.820 much like her very gracious statement, probably written by the same person.

02:03:37.280 And it is obvious that they are setting up their next move.

02:03:42.640 They're saying, we believe in the peaceful transfer of power,

02:03:46.240 which is obviously a repudiation of Trump.

02:03:48.200 And they're saying that we have to abide by the Constitution.

02:03:50.800 They're talking about Democratic norms.

02:03:52.600 They are obviously prepping to shift toward a full assault against Donald Trump

02:03:56.620 for being violent of the constitutional norms.

02:04:01.100 It's not the first time they've trotted out this particular play.

02:04:05.020 I don't think it works again.

02:04:07.260 I think you can only impeach the guy twice.

02:04:09.460 I know that's not in the Constitution,

02:04:10.680 but practically twice as in it.

02:04:12.960 Well, the biggest problem that they've got is that

02:04:14.880 what are the things that he's going to do

02:04:16.680 that they're going to claim are anti-Democratic?

02:04:18.380 Schedule F employment in the executive branch?

02:04:20.900 Maybe.

02:04:21.580 If that's your best shot, my dude,

02:04:23.900 like, I don't think that's going anywhere.

02:04:26.040 I mean, these are people who wanted to kill the filibuster

02:04:27.660 five seconds ago and pack the Supreme Court. 1.00

02:04:30.080 Now it's holy writ.

02:04:31.440 Right, exactly.

02:04:32.120 Now they're not going to want to touch the filibuster

02:04:33.920 for the rest of time.

02:04:34.960 Should we pack the Supreme Court, by the way?

02:04:36.580 This is our opportunity, right?

02:04:38.040 And kill the filibuster?

02:04:38.780 I mean, like, why not? 0.96

02:04:39.580 Let's go, baby.

02:04:40.240 It's time to ride. 0.99

02:04:40.940 Ride and die, baby.

02:04:41.980 And pass a national abortion ban 0.98

02:04:43.580 and Re-Institute Project 2025

02:04:45.260 because it's obviously the right thing to do.

02:04:46.940 Dennis, before we part company,

02:04:48.860 you promised Ben and I a story about your sons.

02:04:51.780 Oh, thank you.

02:04:52.680 Yes, so here we go.

02:04:55.060 So it's perfect.

02:04:56.500 I set you up all last night.

02:04:58.980 I told you that during our sessions

02:05:02.860 that I had said publicly

02:05:05.960 that the happiest day in my life

02:05:08.460 was in 2016 when Donald Trump won.

02:05:13.740 And that includes, I would add,

02:05:16.220 in my speeches,

02:05:17.620 the day my two sons were born.

02:05:20.060 So the first question anyone asks me is,

02:05:23.880 have your kids, have your sons heard you say that?

02:05:27.140 To which I say, yes, absolutely.

02:05:29.860 I now have proof.

02:05:32.140 This is what I got unsolicited from my two sons.

02:05:36.280 I have to find this for you.

02:05:37.940 I didn't know if we would,

02:05:39.240 I didn't want to interrupt with my personal,

02:05:41.220 but it is so precious.

02:05:43.940 And if I just can't, I probably can't.

02:05:46.340 There are so many texts here.

02:05:47.580 Okay, so basically,

02:05:49.180 first I get a text from my older son.

02:05:53.500 Okay, and it's basically,

02:05:55.020 I wish I had word for word.

02:05:56.700 They're both a riot, my sons.

02:05:58.260 So my older son says,

02:06:00.180 now the day your two sons were born

02:06:04.400 is your third happiest day.

02:06:11.400 I read it in my hotel room.

02:06:14.260 When you start laughing when you're alone,

02:06:16.760 you know something is really funny.

02:06:19.500 So that now is,

02:06:20.640 so for those who wonder,

02:06:21.880 how my kids reacted.

02:06:23.680 Then my younger son texts,

02:06:26.540 his last night was happier

02:06:29.840 than the day I was born.

02:06:34.620 I think we can all raise a glass to that.

02:06:37.200 Happy days and happy days.

02:06:39.340 Happy days are here again.

02:06:40.980 Yes, indeed.

02:07:15.640 Here's a little glance

02:07:16.500 at how we ended the night last night.

02:07:21.660 Oh, my gosh.

02:07:23.020 We have made America great again.

02:07:24.580 Let's go.

02:07:25.520 Oh, my goodness.

02:07:26.660 10-8.

02:07:27.100 I told you.

02:07:27.760 It's a 10-8 round, baby.

02:07:29.180 Trump all day.

02:07:30.120 Dude, I, like, want to cry right now. 0.97

02:07:31.420 This is absolutely insane.

02:07:32.860 America is back.

02:07:34.140 We're not a socialist country.

02:07:35.880 Yes.

02:07:36.940 47.

02:07:37.720 Let's go, baby.

02:07:38.500 My heart was beating out of my chest.

02:07:40.100 I haven't had that, like, ever.

02:07:42.060 This feeling is unbelievable.

02:07:43.920 I am so excited.

02:07:45.160 America showed up and said

02:07:46.520 that we don't want that cringe win.

02:07:48.820 A full circle moment for Trump, definitely.

02:07:51.660 This isn't a win for Republicans.

02:07:53.080 This isn't a win for Americans.

02:07:54.280 This is a win for the entire world.

02:07:55.780 What a historic moment

02:07:56.740 and no better place to be

02:07:57.920 than the Daily Wire, baby.

02:07:59.780 Everybody wants to know

02:08:00.980 what would have happened

02:08:02.180 if we didn't win.

02:08:04.280 I guess we'll never know.

02:08:08.500 Did you know that over 85%
