Biden's Address, Kamala's Concession and Pelosi's Coup: Unpacking the Blame Game

Over two hundred years. America has carried out the greatest experiment. In self-government in the history of the world. And that's not hyperbole, that's a fact. We're the people.

The people vote and choose their own leaders, and they do it peacefully. And we're in a democracy. The will of the people always prevails. Yesterday, I spoke with President-elect Trump. to congratulate him on his victory.

And I assured him. I would direct my entire administration. to work with his team. to ensure a peaceful and orderly transition. That's what the American people deserve.

Well, are they going to get it? I mean, this was a really interesting. Uh Address that Biden, I mean, literally just gave. He just spoke. to the nation about this.

And it was the first time that he spoke to the nation. Since the Election. And It was, I think, A very He there's a there were a couple of things that I picked up on in in this whole thing. And one of those was that He seemed like he was Plainting the flag on the hill, so to speak. Like this, I still have.

this much left. of my tenure as president. And we're gonna do this. And this is it's almost like you were saying, you know, it's not. You're not president yet.

But he also seemed to be some kind a lot kinder than I thought. he would be to Harris? In his remarks. Uh he seemed happier. Did he did he not seem happier?

He seemed way happier. It's it's like he He was so happy that he doesn't have to be president anymore. That's what it seemed like. And uh I don't know. It was just a very interesting Statement in the manner that he gave it, especially as the party descends.

into a monumental Civil War. And we're going to talk all about that here. Welcome. to the program. Dana Lash with you.

We're at the top of this. First hour on Thursday. It's like the longest political week ever. And Like I said, Biden just spoke. It was the first time that he spoke.

Since Kamala Harris. lost the election. And I'm telling you, the infighting is gonna be something else. That's what a lot of people are forgetting in this whole fight. Because they are trying so hard to focus on any kind of division in the right.

And then there are certain people in the right who don't help it, by the way, because that's all they want to talk about, because it's a grip for them.

However, The biggest thing to me is the division on the left because nobody knows where. I don't know how the party rebuilds, their party rebuilds, and even prepares for midterms, much less 2028. And you already had David Plouf, who deleted his Twitter or his ex account today. He already deleted it because they were going back and forth. I mean, it's just something else to watch this.

And they said that, so Jackie Heinrich had first reported on it. She said David Plouf had deleted his account. He took a dig at Biden. He said, We dug out of a deep hole, but not enough. And There's this this Tension between the Biden administration and the Harris camp because the Harris camp is trying to act like they weren't a part of the Biden administration for the past four years, which is anger the Biden administration, obviously, because they're like, you were.

Vice President of the United States, what are you talking about? Acting like, you know, this is, you have nothing to do with this. And so there's that tension, it's just wild. And You know, don't forget there I think that there has been some lasting tension. I think they had tension anyway going right through the front door because remember, think back to the primaries.

In 2020, and how nasty and divisive they were. And do you remember the story that went around? And I think Politico wrote about this, Axios wrote about it at the time, when Kamala Harris was calling. Joe Biden a racist. In fact, I have a story that I had saved all the way back.

All the way back. Uh, from Axio saying that Joe Biden apparently like blew up when Kamala Harris had called Biden a racist during the whole bus segregation, that whole topic during the debate.

So, I don't know, like, do you get over something like that? I don't know, it just feels, but I do feel that. And you can kind of see this: that the Bidens honestly do believe that, you know, they've been thrown out. They've been. Exiled, and that's kind of what this is.

Now, it came out yesterday that Biden Trump had spoken, and Biden had already invited him to the White House, Trump. To discuss the transition of power. He also said in his address, and you heard, he's like, We're going to acknowledge. The you know, acknowledge our elections, and you can't just love your country when you win. Which is very interesting.

Because I don't Do you think that that I don't know if that was necessarily him. Trying to get ahead of the leftist writing. I don't know. There's like a million different ways to interpret it.

So very interesting indeed.

Now, Kamala Harris spoke yesterday. Finally. a full day after Refusing to acknowledge the results. Audio sound by one. This was her response.

Listen. A fundamental principle of American democracy is that when we lose an election, we accept the results. That principle, as much as any other, distinguishes democracy from monarchy or tyranny. And anyone who seeks the public trust must honor it. 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. And loyalty to our conscience and to our God. My allegiance to all three. is why I am here to say While I concede this election, I do not concede the fight that fueled this campaign. What does that even mean?

So she doesn't concede the fight that fueled her campaign, but she concedes the election. I mean, it's like she had to put a caveat onto it. It's it was kind of goofy. for her that she said it that way. Did you guys see Tim Walls and Doug M Hoff just bawling?

What? Yeah, watch this. This was weird. And also, I think it was Doug M. Hoffs, the one who's supposed to be the model.

Standing next to him was also crying. Watch. Tell me what's my dead gay son. Mm, they had that whole. Heather's vibe.

Look at them, they're all act like they they act like they're at a funeral.

Well they I mean they kinda are. They're at the funeral for Kamala Harris's campaign. She's never gonna have a political life after this. She's done. She's the most unaccomplished, inadequate candidate that's ever been run by this party.

And that's a lot because they had Michael Dukakis. Day thing. I mean, they had John Edwards for crying out loud. He's still living. He's still out there.

I mean,. You know what? I was thinking back to this. How much do they hate John Edwards right now? Because he was their golden boy.

You guys remember this? He was like John Edwards. He was the senator. And he, you know, he had a wife and children. And then he's messing around with his wife.

And then he was using his campaign money to hide his affair and his illegitimate love child. And he took money from Bunny Mellon.

So the fact that you have the Southern male whore who was cheating with his videographer, and there's the social light named Bunny Mellon and her millions involved in it. I mean, it sounds like a Jerry Springer episode. You know, the party bringing dignity back into the White House. I don't know. I just so what's gonna happen to Hunter Biden?

You know what Joe's gonna do, right? He's going to be like, yeah, and a pardon. That's exactly what he's going to do. He is totally going to pardon himself. He is.

I kind of hope Trump, like the first thing that he does, In addition to pardoning Jay Sixers has pardon himself. And then pardon Dexter Taylor. Pardon Dexter Taylor, please. That that That would be that would be very amusing.

So the the left is still Losing their minds over all of this.

Meanwhile, why is it taking so long to confirm? The house. Why? I am so done with this. Just confirm it.

We got the majority. Sit down. Tired of it. We got the majority. They uh I saw a couple of other states like officially Officially, this is, you know, I guess we'll call this state officially.

We'll call this state officially. Yeah, well I uh I don't know.

Now we're seeing some more of this reaction. I was looking for this Jimmy, because Jimmy Kimmel also cried. These big tough dudes Okay, this is Audio Soundbite 8. Is this where he's crying? Crying like a little bee.

Okay, go ahead. Go ahead and roll this. Roll tape. Let's be honest, it was a terrible night last night. It was a terrible night for women, for children, for the hundreds of thousands of hardworking immigrants who make this country go.

Um For healthcare, for our climate. I think these people actually raise us. They're so mentally unhinged. Look at it, he actually believes this stuff. They're nuts.

You can't tell me they're not nuts. I think that he's mentally unstable. I really do. And I hope he gets help. Because I think he needs m I think he needs help more than he needs to be on a stage in front of a camera and an audience.

It's I mean, it's bad. Come on. The fact that he and these others get so upset over this. And they're so like they're bawling and Ugh. It's uh super interesting.

I I And crying. And these are the people who actually think Trump's Hitler.

So now you can see why they think Hitler won. They've actually convinced themselves of this. In the meantime, everyone else out here in reality is like, yeah, that's not really how that works. That's not who, just because they disagree with you.

So we have Jimmy Kimmel crying. Everybody's crying. Uh and then um Then you have this. This was a Harris Surrogate Audio Soundbite 7 that I thought was very interesting. Because she finally said what all of us have been kind of.

You know, saying that she should have really picked Josh Shapiro. Listen. I do.

Well, I'm biased. I'm from Pennsylvania. I'm a huge fan of my own governor. He is tremendously popular across the state, and not just in the liberal bastions of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, but also in the state. I think it's one of several factors.

I think there were several factors that led to this result, but I think definitely contributed to this. And even if Shapiro was only able to bring up the margin by 1% in a campaign of margins, it could have potentially made a huge difference. She's not wrong. Boy, I bet there I bet the Harris campaign's still kicking themselves. But she would have looked really dumb.

She really would. She she really would have, I think, i it would have made her look She would have looked so. Unaccomplished next to some, and I'm not, I'm not saying this because I'm a Josh Shapiro fan. I mean, for kind of a lot of the guy's a Democrat, however. He's more articulate and has a better grasp of the issues than Harris does.

I think that's pretty indisputable at this point.

So we have some more reaction. And now we have lawmakers that are getting mad, and now they're going through the stages of grief, and they're trying to look at what. potentially happens. You know, how are they going to be able to stop? Trump from Undoing what they've done in government, like especially where it concerns immigration.

We're going to dive into that. We also have a bunch of cultural issues to get into and some other interesting things from the election, notables, trends, things of that nature. Because remember, a lot of this stuff doesn't appear until after the votes are cast. And then you turn and look at the data. And so we're still looking at all of that.

Did you know eight out of the last 11 created jobs never really existed? Over the course of the past year, the Labor Department has revised the jobs report by over a million jobs. In case you forgot, the Federal Reserve was using this info when making their policy decisions.

Check out the Watchdog on Wall Street podcast on Apple, Spotify, wherever you get your podcast. Yeah. And now, all of the news you would probably miss, it's time for Dana's Quick Five. All right, so first up, a university scraps English literature as not a. any longer a viable degree.

Interesting. It's Canterbury Christchurch University. They blamed a decline in applicants as it drops the subject for new students. And they said that nobody's interested.

So nobody wants to go and study classic English literature anymore. Oh, well, I think you guys charge too much for it anyway.

So people are probably like looking and seeing why does our money, why does this kind of class cost that much? Australia wants to ban social media for kids under the age of 18 because apparently the parents are unable to do it without being pushed by the nanny state government.

So that's the prime minister, Anthony Albany, has announced plans to ban it, saying that it's doing harm to our kids. I'm calling time on it, et cetera, et cetera. I guess that they're going to be looking through their lawmakers' legislations entering parliament this year. And it's apparently after they nullify, ratify it, it's going to take effect.

So I don't know what the penalties would be, but I mean, what are you going to like go after parents for like some kind of negligence if they don't go with it? It's just odd. That's what parents are for, not government. Apple is going to face the first EU fine under the block's Digital Markets Act.

So this This was they This they were being accused of violating antitrust laws. And this is a story. It's been a long time in the works: big tech antitrust laws. And they've been clashing with how much they make in the Apple Store, with the EU's, these digital antitrust laws that they have. And they said watchdogs are readying the penalty after the iPhone maker failed to allow app users to app developers to steer users to cheaper deals and offers that exist outside of the app store.

And so they have this Digital Markets Act. It's pretty punitive. This comes after they were hit with a $2 billion fine for similar abuses under their traditional competition rules, i.e., like music, streaming, Spotify, and things like that.

So that's excessive daytime sleepiness can lead to dementia. We talked about this yesterday. This is a repeat. Having fewer friends actually could be better for your health, says a study. And uh I actually don't disagree with that in a way.

They said that this is a study from Exeter, UK. Keeping a smaller circle of friends help you to avoid drama. I am all about that. And they said, if you're a monkey, it helps to keep you from getting ill. That seems like a weird statement.

Monkeys also don't wear shoes, so I guess they get sick less, so we should go barefoot. I mean, that's like, that's dumb. It's like a correlation isn't causation.

So they said that, however, many animals they write, including humans, may reduce their social connections as they age. And they said that having, you know, just like a healthy, smaller group of friends might be better. They said that socially reclusive Neanderthals, they said humans are predisposed to being social creatures. It's not why our ancestors survived. Neanderthals did not.

However, there is healthy limits, a healthy medium.

Well, duh, everything. There always is with everything.

So coming up. The left no longer wants, the left doesn't want reconciliation. They never did. Stick with us. Pre-born, they are partners with us.

Pre-born is a great organization that helps women and saves babies. And they do a lot. In fact, the pre-born clinics have counseled over half a million women who have been considering abortion. They've saved more than 300,000 babies. They do this by showing women their babies.

When you are able to get an ultrasound, when a woman is able to get an ultrasound and actually see her baby, meet her baby for the first time, hear her infant's heartbeat, the chances of that child living doubles. And that's what Pre-Born does. They are a direct competition to the abortion industry. They are the largest provider of free ultrasounds. And like I said, they saved 300,000 babies.

80,000 women have come to Christ, and they rescue 200 babies a day from abortion. And they don't just stop at ultrasounds.

So they partner with women, they meet them where they are, and for the next two years, for free. They are there with them for maternity needs, baby clothes, diapers, car seats, counseling, so much more, all of this assistance because they know that it goes beyond ultrasounds and they want to make sure that women get a good leg up on this and that they're able to start strong, start motherhood strong.

And the anger from the left is now beginning to bubble up. And And It's uh Well, they're mad and they've been trying to figure out.

Now they're trying to figure out how do we prevent this from happening again. My gosh, we can't have democracy. Though they love democracy. On the view, they're losing their minds. Audio somebody 12.

Ugh.

Well, it would help if we could regulate social media because one of the biggest offenders is D.C. and Congress have not been able to do one thing in regard to the rogue corporations. I'm not going to get any better with Elon Musk now and they're so mad over Elon Musk. They're so mad over it. What it so What do you mean, rogue?

They have to abide by laws just like every other entity in the United States does.

So I don't understand where this rogue stuff is coming from. They're upset because. people Just like how it was in the beginning, and remember the left have now gone back to being upset over social media. They were super mad over social media back in the early days of Barack Obama's campaign, because as we've talked about before, the right was so successful. In using social media to advance their agenda.

And there were more conservatives using social media than there were people on the left. And that was about the time that Jack Dorsey and others were prevailed upon by the left to alter their algorithms and change the playing field to make it not level, to tilt it in favor of the left so they could suppress the dissent, so they could suppress the ideas that they did not want to debate in a public forum. And then they tried to Diminish all ideas with which they disagreed as being like, again, you guys know the drill: Nazi, Hitler, racist, sexist, whatever.

So, as a way to excuse them from not having to make the effort. Uh of offering a counter. And that's how they excuse themselves.

So The Change in social media. I mean, that's what really hurt conservatives. And then now. X has been, well, now Twitter's X after Musk acquired it. And it's kind of gone back.

to the way that it used to be. I know that they're still peeling back all of the algorithms and everything that the left had had thrown onto it, but They are now They're they're they're going back and they're trying to restore it. to what it was prior to that. And that's been a very strong counter to all of the garbage that legacy media. has pushed out there.

The laptop story, for instance. I mean, you did not see pushback on that anywhere else. You couldn't. It was so suppressed and Twitter they were really suppressing it, and then Musk bought it, and then now it's like information can go out freely. I think they have a really good community notes program where people can fact-check, like this is wrong, this is incorrect, and then people will fact-check the fact-check.

Like, this is argumentative, it's completely biased, or this isn't, this is a legitimate objection. I think it's a good system. And I also think it requires people to be a little bit more discerning in terms of the information they consume and believe. And it should be. People should have that responsibility themselves and not outsource it anywhere else.

But regardless, they're mad because all of this stuff was able, conservatives were able to counter. Bad information. Republicans were able to counter bad information on X when they couldn't. through their networks, through the ABCs and CBSs and NBCs. And that has infuriated the left because they can't control it.

It infuriates them. I think that they don't like countering ideas with which they disagree for a number of reasons. And it has nothing to do with the fact that they think it's, you know, the person or the argument is racist, sexist. Bigot, bigoted, misogynist. What else is am I missing, Kane?

Transphobic, whatever, whatever, is this there's like a million. But They think they're too good. The left honestly believes that they're too good that how dare you question them. Can you imagine going into every disagreement thinking that? Like, how dare you question me?

That's what the left believes, though. They feel like they are the more educated, the more open-minded, and that you are just some dumb poor. How dare you question? Their positions, where they stand on things. That's part of one of the reasons why they get so aggressive because they internalize, they take it so personally when you disagree with them.

You're challenging. how smart they want you to think that they are. You're challenging their status. They think they're elite. You're challenging that by questioning it.

That's why they get so mad. I mean, normal people, if you're like, well, I disagree with that. And a normal person is like, oh, well, you know, why is that? Let's have a, you know, and. People are genuinely interested.

Like, can I glean something from this? I mean, if you're, if it's about. Actually Educating oneself, learning more about the issue, you welcome, right? You welcome. If there's, oh, you know something that I don't, oh, please share it because you're collecting information.

The left is like, how dare you? And then without any other place to go, they just raised us. That's that's all they do. But that kinda helps to explain why they take it so personally. And they're still doing it.

Audio sound by ten. Rachel Maddown, one of the most unaware things I've ever seen. Is complaining about how she thinks the administration is going to change the press watch. The free press needs to give the people of this country assurances that they will not become state TV. that they will stand and fight together.

They will put aside rivalries and petty professional differences. They will stand and fight together as the free press, as the fourth estate, as an institution that is a pillar of our democracy, as these guys on the other side inevitably start picking off individual journalists, individual publishers, individual news organizations to try ultimately to turn us all into some American accented version of RT. Really? Really? I mean, again, let's go back to 2016.

If you want to talk about RT, which is Russia today. Let's look at all of the journalists. That, including like what, Isakoff and others who were had stories funneled to them by the Hillary Clinton campaign through Fusion GPS, the stories were laundered through the press. And then they were brought. to the uh FISA court to get a surveillance warrant.

On Carter Page, who at the time actually was a CIA asset, and the CIA had to step in and thwop the FBI. Or let's look at what happened here with The New York Times.

So the New York Times had this big piece. in which they were trying to explain Why it was that Kamala Harris Lost. They were trying to unpack this for people. And they had, like, for instance, here's one of the, they were talking about one of the really effective. Trump ads that he started running uh the like right before the election and he had one on Sunday night football.

Uh and then others. And They were characterizing The ads as being quote anti-trans. This is what they wrote. And it was about You know, she's for they, them, we're for you. The New York Times writes, the anti-trans ads cut to the core of the Trump argument.

That Ms. Harris was dangerously liberal, the exact vulnerability her team was most worried about. The ads were effective with black and Latino men, according to the Trump team, but also with moderate suburban white women who might be concerned about transgender athletes in girls' sports. This is This is one example. where the media It's saying oh well these are anti-trans ads.

They actually didn't say anything anti-trans. They said she's for they, them, we're for you. When they also mentioned immigration, wanting to close the border, the New York Times described it as anti-immigration. Except it's not anti immigration. It's anti illegal immigration.

And illegal immigration is anti immigration. And being pro illegal immigration is anti immigration. You see why people don't trust the media because the media doesn't trust the people. The media views the people as an enemy to be fought.

Somehow, at some point, The media decided to separate itself From being a tool of the people, they decided to ensconce themselves as a separate class. and act as though, no, no, no, you have to go and be brainwashed at one of these universities in order to be able to write stories in your own community. That's why they revile public journalism. I think all journalism should be public. And if people have a problem with that, then you know what, then do better in your life.

Everybody has the power of discernment. Everybody has brain cells. I've had people tell me, well, you don't want just any Tom Dick or Harry writing stories.

Well, you also don't want partisan hacks who are activists writing. I mean, do you see the situation that we're in? It didn't work your way. Maybe let's try this one. But they realize it's a vein of power.

They want to control that power. They don't trust you. It got confused at some point. They decided instead of. Holding accountable government.

They wanted to go after the people that the government. Is supposed to represent that they derive their authority to do so from those people, they decided they got it backwards. And Rachel Maddow has the audacity in her cushy job at MSNBC. to say that, oh, well, heaven forbid, we don't want there to be an R T. Again, The same media that fabricated the laptop was Russian misinformation.

Pedaled. The signatures. of these Intel officials who signed this statement knowing it was false. who pushed to suspend people on social media. For sharing true information.

and questioning the suppression of that information. R T is already here and it's you. How they tried to hide what was happening in schools with trans policies. How they tried to hide, how the girl was raped in a bathroom by a student who identified as trans, a an 18-year-old male. How they lied about Biden's dementia.

May we watch the sky Wither In the public eye for the past four years, and how dare you ask a question about it? It's just his stutter. They hit it. And then, when it was advantageous to them to switch it out for somebody else, then they're, oh, well, you know, it makes sense because Biden's not doing so well anymore. You think?

And then now they're going back the other way.

Well, maybe he actually should have. stayed and run, he probably would have performed better than she did. I mean, how and they have the audacity to ask the American people. and try to lecture the American people. Oh, well, they're going to turn it into a version of R T.

You have Stephanie Roll on MSNBC, who's just out of her mind. Speaking of which, more bad media, Audio Sunbite 11. Listen. And the person we are now betting on to change all of it. Is Donald Trump A man who did two almost impossible things.

He won the American presidency twice. and he drove a casino into the ground. What will the future hold?

Now that America has just decided that we're going to F around. and find out. That's a serious newscaster. No. Is she trying to editorialize there?

That's on MSNBC. I don't what do you mean effed around?

So Americans exercise their vote? Wait, I thought you guys We're talking about preserving and protecting democracy.

Now it's just effing around. That's how you, because it didn't go your way.

Now it's just effing around. I mean, I don't necessarily, it's not how I define voting. the democratic process in this republic.

Now I have a million things because the Postmortem. on Democrats and the left. I think it's incredibly important because the left is at a crossroads here. Do they I don't know, listen to sense and maybe think we should walk back a little bit. Like, maybe James Carville was right, maybe we shouldn't have been out there.

talking about you know, trans this, trans that, shaming everyone is Hitler. Maybe we should just walk it in a bit. Or Do they go, you know what, we don't call enough people Hitler. We didn't transit enough. It's I mean which way are they gonna go?

They have to make that determination, and they're not really great at making decisions that this last campaign season was anything to go by.

So, we're going to discuss that. We also, the economy, also have to hit the economy. Because that's going to explode. You know, they're going to try to yoke it onto Trump, and they're going to try to use that. To blow up the next four years so that they can make way for Gavin Newsom in 2028 because Gavin Newsom is already wrestling in his cage.

I don't know how to use this thing. Let's see what happens. Is this cutting off hair? I'm gonna have to cut it short and have buzz it down, right? I think that this is too skinny hair.

See here. Maybe I gotta cut it. Here we go. I giving up on America? F.

I'm also giving up on coloring this hair because, right? Coloring my hair. having my hair be long and luxurious. All that being skinny, being hot, being all the things that the patron wants us to be. Because clearly, they don't give a s about us.

And I'm talking to you too. Those of you ladies who have the internalized misogyny required to do what you did.

So if you're attractive, you're so scared of a woman in your hair. You're internalizing misogyny. That's what this dumpy chick is saying. Don't expect me to be nice. I'm not going to.

So, there's a number of these progressive women out there that say they're going to make themselves ugly so they don't get laid. And I mean, I think the word you're looking for, ladies, is ugly er.

Okay. And it's okay because I don't think anybody was going to jump on that landmine before you decided to go Britney Spears on your scalp. Really don't think that you need to worry. In fact, you know, with some of you, it probably might be an improvement to shave your head, or better yet, just put a bag over your face. A whole giant back, put it right over your face.

That would be an improvement for a number of you, also. I'm actually totally fine with them not breeding because those are the people that I don't want to breed. I don't want Marxists to have new. and raise little Marxists.

So I'm okay with this. I mean, it's Y look at it, you don't need abortion after all, ladies. Look how easy that was. Just keep your knees kissing. For America I've never seen so many cell phones before, right?

I mean, it's just something else. And why are they always like, I've yet to see like a pretty. Female Volunteer to do this. Oh, it's internalized misogyny. No, it's just that we're hot.

And you're not. And that's all. Yeah, it's meant to be mean. All right, two second hour on the way. We got more to come, a lot more.

Second hour on Thursday, so it's the day after the day after the election. And uh we're now watching the left Move from Uh Shock? To Despair and sadness. And some of them are now Um Morphing from the despair and sadness portion of the stages of grieving to pure rage and fury. And this is where it gets super sketch, right?

This is where you get into protest territory and church burning territory and all of that good stuff, the Antifa.

So, welcome. We're here to catalog all of it, point and laugh. Again, top of the second hour. You can listen, obviously, around the country. Channel 347 is where the simulcast of the radio program also airs on DirecTV.

You can find the chat on Rumble. Find us on. Exen Everywhere else. We're all out there. And yeah, we're yeah, on X.

So. The state of things. The left is about ready to Yeah. and I had a couple of these headlines. uh in your prep email.

that I had sent out this morning. Because They are They're going through it right now. And by the way, thank you for all the people like the Spirit Halloween sign over the Kamala winds. X account. That was the the main But um Yeah, it's very uh they're very they got a problem.

Democrats have a problem. And they don't know how to deal with it. There's all kinds of infighting. Bernie Sanders went scorched earth. on Democrats in a statement on Trump's after Trump's victory.

He lost it. He said on social media, quote, It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them. And he said that while Democrat leadership defends the status, quote, the American people are angry and want change, and they're right. And that is true. One of the things that I was reading as well to uh earlier today.

Is that People are Especially when they went out and they voted, they definitely voted for a change in direction. They definitely voted for. Uh a change. in policy. They wanted something.

better. And It doesn't seem like the Democrat Party understands that. They, I don't, I feel like they just don't get it. That wasn't reflected in their. Any of the addresses, I think Biden kind of came close to it.

His seemed more conciliato conciliatory than others. Uh Harris just sounded I don't know. It just seemed all she seemed happier that she wasn't cra I don't think she wanted to be president. I really don't think she'd have I don't think she I don't think she wanted to be president. And I feel like Biden looked really happy to not have to worry about it anymore.

But Bernie Sanders was blasting the party. And he said, oh, you know, he said that they have to have some very serious political discussions. He uh told his Supporters to stay tuned. He said, Do they have any idea as to how we can take on the increasingly powerful oligarchy, which has so much economic and political power? Probably not, blah, blah, blah.

He said, He talked about big money interests. He had a big statement. He talked about uh uh uh technology, all this stuff. If they I don't think anybody's going to listen to him in the Democrat Party. Because they feel like the people in charge feel like they're right.

It's weird because if they win the election, they feel like everything that they said and did is affirmed. And now that they've lost it, they still feel like everything that they said and did is. Yeah. It's Wild. I don't know if they're going to learn.

I mean, even in California.

So, Prop 36 passed overwhelmingly in California. was the proposition that reversed the restorative justice Prop 47 that they had, that was the super soft on crime and it reduced the penalties and charges and that for theft and other crimes.

So now they've reversed that. And they've reintrodu they they introduced Prop 36, that one. And uh George Gascon, who was the uh Los Angeles District Attorney. He's the guy who's credited as the architect of the soft-down crime Proposition 47. He lost this race.

Wow.

So There are so many other measures of this. That If you don't want to look at the national popular vote, you don't want to look at the Electoral College. There are tons of notables like this. peppered all throughout the United States. different races that are an underscore.

A boldening, a an italicized some kind of accentuation. Of What Democrats did that's wrong, and how they're still not getting it. They still. They don't get it.

Now, all of what I'm reading is: where's this one story? I read a story how celebrities are fleeing.

Okay. Select our friend Sergio down at KURV. By the way, KRV down in RGV, Rio Grande Valley. uh predominantly Hispanic, predominantly read this election. Kano I Is that how racism works?

Bigot bigotry works? No, but it is how Democrats blame others. for failures on their part. I mean, because everybody down there seems lovely. They're very nice.

You know, Sergio's very nice. You know, he runs K U R V. Uh, they have a lot of great people there. One of our one of our favorite affiliates. Very nice.

I you know, they didn't seem like Ists, ists, to me. Right? I don't know, but predominantly red down there, you know, because people are tired of it. I love how Democrats are like, no, if you're an immigrant, you possibly can't be opposed to illegal immigration. Who do you?

Talk about out of touch, right? Talk about Out of Touch. By the way, as I made mention earlier in our email when I respond when we were talking. I'm still waiting. When do I get my government issued hand?

Maid, is it the handmaid or handmaiden? I don't know, it's that little Red Riding Hood cape. I think it's kind of goth. I actually have one already, so I don't need one. I have a red cape.

I legit do. Who do you guys think I am? I have one. If that's like a requirement, I can save the taxpayers some money. I got one already.

But when do they like, do you have to report somewhere to get measured? Because I was told. That that's what was going to happen to women if Trump won. Right, Kane? You have a you're they they haven't come and cut you in half and deported half of you.

Juan's still here.

So I don't know, it's almost like all the threats that they said based on identity politics were bull hockey. Interesting how that is, right? But there are still celebrities that want to leave. I'm okay with that. Why is it never the celebrities that you want to leave?

that hang on, I'm who are who are some of the ones that are leaving? They said, Who is th this ch I don't know who this chick is. I don't even know who this This one chick, who is she America Ferrer and Out? Bruh. I don't know who she is.

Who the hell is she? Actress, I guess? I legit don't even know who she was. I she looks vaguely familiar. Wasn't she in that Barbie thing?

She was she was also Ugly Betty, I think. Oh my gosh, I liked it even.

So she's one of the. People who's uh apparently said that she wants to leave the United States. She's gonna move to the UK. She wants a better life for her kids. All these people are going to leave because Trump won.

What do they do when he won the first time? He's like a horrible Nazi, by the way. Like, that's like the worst Nazi I've ever seen in my life. Like, you know. You're like friends with Israel, you know, you move the embassy, all that stuff.

You know, I mean, it's just you hate terrorists. It's like such a bad Nazi. Uh but I don't know why they think I mean, they were here the first time he was president. He didn't do any of this crazy stuff that they were alleging.

So, why do they think it's going to be different the second time around? I'm curious. I mean, I know that I'm asking nonsensical people to make sense, but whatever. I don't know. I uh Hmm.

I'm telling you, this is something else.

So. We've got some audio too.

So we have, oh, here's Nancy Pelosi, audio zone by 16. She did not want to answer a single question about any of this. I actually just realized we haven't heard from her, have we? Nope. Interesting.

Audio Summit 16, watch. reaction to that Trump victory. Anything that could have been done differently? Run away, run away, run away!

Well Does she she's the person who pushed Biden out? Nancy Pelosi was kind of the architect of the switcheroo. Do you think that she's going to get the heat? Because they're all I mean, the parties, uh they're going at each other already. They're leak into the press.

Man, I cannot wait. for all the leaks to come out. That's going to be so fun to read. That's one of my favorite things ever. It's just, you just read, it's like a good book.

You just sit down, you read all these leaked stories, and oof, it's very interesting.

So I don't I don't know. See, but she's she was the one who's credited as the architect of the switcheroo. I'm I'm just Are th is she going to get the heat? Or are they gonna are they or is she too revered? You think she's too revere to get any heat?

'Cause she I mean, remember, she's the one who devised all this. and apparently she was the one who had the phone call with him and was like, It's time for you to drop out. Don't know. Don't know. Now in the meantime.

You still have People on MSNBC. Who think it's about Racism or sexism. Audio Soundbite 9, Lawrence Olivier O'Donnell. Thespian. It must in BC Anglo.

He thinks it's the white men And you dumb women. It's all sexism. Listen. when he was editor of the newspaper. the North Star.

Frederick Douglass wrote, We hold woman to be justly entitled to all we claim for man. That was a very unpopular opinion among white men in this country at that time, and it remains an unpopular opinion among some white men in this country to this day. It may be that not enough people in this country yet believe in the full equality of women to elect a woman president of the United States.

So because we just didn't elect, you know Any check. like some random chick that you decided to promote. ostentatiously before her time or qualifications. necessitated it or could substant or or could justify it. That means everyone else is sexist because you put up a bad candidate because you're a sexist.

That makes other people sexist. It doesn't even make any sense. I mean, there are actually better qualified, they're still wrong because they're Democrats, but there are better qualified women on the left that could have run in her spot. She's just horrid.

So People are putting memes out like, oh, Trump's beating two women now from getting to the White House. kind of funny. It is funny. Laugh. It's okay to laugh.

Stop this. We're not doing this woke crap anymore. Stop it. Good night. Yeah, that's uh Lawrence O'Donnell.

It's because it's because everyone is sexist. See, you have to support full equality by disregarding The merits and accomplishments and achievements of a female candidate, and only judge her based on whether or not she has a vagina.

So, the party who says they can't define women. Want a woman, but also think that you're sexist if you don't judge her just on being a woman and nothing else. I know. That's what it's like, I guess, to be on meth, trying to understand that. Our somewhat new partners over at Burn A Gun.

Burn a is your non-firearm firearm, and Burn a Gun.

Well, it's all about making sure that you can still stay safe. and be s remain safe and uh Well, because you're not able to carry everywhere, and that's kind of an issue. I have friends that live and work in D.C., and they've gotten one of my friends in D.C. got a burn a gun, another one of my friends in New York got a burn a gun. They got the Burna SD model.

That's the most popular model.

So what it does is it can stop threats from up to 50 feet away. It shoots a chemical irritant projectile.

So it's a very powerful deterrent. And it's legal in all 50 states. You don't have to have a background checker permit. They can ship it right to your door. And it doesn't care about the gun-free zone signs.

So it doesn't matter. I mean, they, and one of my friends is, you know, she goes back, she has to live and work in D.C. And you've seen the crime right there. She doesn't want to be a statistic. And she has a license to carry, but it's like guns are banned almost everywhere, but not her Burna SD.

And five-round capacity, when you compare it to stun guns that are restricted to one or two shots, you definitely have an advantage. There's no recoil, easy target acquisition, so you can have a fast response in a high-pressure situation.

So the there's UFOs apparently appearing in the sky above Spain next to a double rainbow. And people are saying it happened before the flash floods hit. Before the flash floods. They said that it was an ominous UFO. I mean, it.

I don't know if it looks like that. It looks like blurry footage. Is it though? Like, aliens are just going to go out of randomly out of nowhere. We're going to have a.

We're going to have a Flood here, just randomly. I don't know. But it is neat to see. I mean, it was tried by the rainbow. Maybe they saw a double rainbow, and it was a double rainbow, and they were like, oh, what's this?

Anyway, yeah, it is kind of, it is kind of. Mnite Shyamalan-esque, I have to say. A uh super yacht crew member. This is insane. Casually, just discarded.

A $3 million Andy Warhol Brillo pad sculpture because they assumed it was just a giant box of Brillo pads. And it was. It said 24 giant square pairs. It was literally a thing that he designed, they sold as sculptures. And they were white, blue, and red.

And some of them had, I mean, it was just like a box. And one of them fetched like $3 million at auction recently. And so apparently somebody had this on a super yacht and then some. Crew member, I guess, thought it was just a giant. Giant fox Brillopads they didn't need and they got rid of it.

Oh my gosh. Like, do you have, I would, you would have to have insurance for that. And then, how would insurance? Pay that out. I don't know.

I I I don't know. I It's amazing to me, but yeah, that's can you imagine? Uh let's see.

Okay, so now there's a what they call highly contagious jock itch.

So it's similar to the monkeypox in that it's only affecting a certain group of people. And not just like dudes generally, but like a certain, like dudes who are engaging in a certain behavior. With other dudes.

So it's highly Contagious. Jock itch. It's a rare genital fungus, according to New York, a health report. I'm not even gonna say the name of it. Trichophyton mentagropyte.

Right. Genotype.

Okay. Uh, they said it was started, they started. The first case was recorded in June and it skyrocketed. They said there's been additional infections diagnosed between April and June of 24. Uh, I'm not even gonna describe to you what these symptoms are because it's growth, but they said it's like symptoms are similar to a ringworm.

So Yeah. Maybe stop hoeing around. Super easy to not do that. I mean, it's just very, very simple. Let's just don't save everybody all of that.

Oh my goodness. And. Uh let's see.

We have a lot to get into, including Kier Starmer is apparently going to be dismissed by Trump. Uh, we also have to talk about the house. The left wants no reconciliation. Media, we got economy, so much more. Stick with us.

Well, I think what would I say it? If she were a six-foot-four white man from Arkansas or from Florida, and she ran a good middle-of-the-road campaign talking about reaching out, do you think she would be losing by that much? If she could chew tobacco and carry a shotgun and talk about football and be a guy's guy, I'm not sure. You tell her. They're talking about Democrats, they're talking about Kamala Harris.

So Are they saying that their own party are sexists? They're saying that they, Democrats, are the sexists.

Okay, I agree with that. Yeah. Uh-huh. Welcome back. Welcome back to the show, guys.

Yeah, I don't really have anything to add to that. Yeah, they are. Yeah. Welcome back, Dino Lash here with you at the bottom of the second hour. Oh, they are.

But if he's if they're trying to say that the reason that she didn't appeal to moderates or independents is because of sexism. I'm so I'm I'm It is amusing watching these Marxists Contort themselves into human pretzels, trying to simultaneously kiss their own backsides and make excuses to avoid any kind of accountability for why they lost. I mean, we all know it's I mean, you can't people are like, I'm broke. Milk is five dollars a gallon.

Well, my pronouns are they them. Or my pronouns are he or she or her. Uh I respect if it's they then. And everyone's looking at her, scratching their head like, What what does that have to do with being broke? Anybody, does anybody know?

Nothing, that has nothing to do. Yeah, so, um, mm. It's Okay. They are not, they're going to keep losing until they figure it out. I was watching some glorified pencil pusher on social media on X.

Lament that. Oh, well, it's Democrats won't win elections until they've been a wa build a well-oiled information ecosystem. That extends to podcasts and every social media platform, and they can pierce the right-wing propaganda bubble. I mean, tell me that you don't pay attention or have no idea what you're talking about without actually elucidating. The notion.

I I That's literally what you have with the left. It's what you have with network news. It's what you have with movies. It's what you have with music. It's what you have with art the art.

It's what you have with everything. Academia, they control everything. They have such a bubble. It's why they were able to launder stories to get a surveillance warrant in 2016 for crying out loud. All the right house is X.

And some And maybe talk radio and that's just it. X. That's all they have. And the left is like, that's too much. No, maybe it's the hideous policies that they have.

Maybe it's that you don't, you have an ecosystem. Stop I feel like you don't. You have that. It just didn't work. Because your policies are horrible.

You weren't able to convince Democrats to come out and vote. Democrats had a historically low turnout. Very, very low turnout. And They're going to keep losing until they figure this out. That's why I think they just are not in a position to even talk about midterms or 2028 yet.

They need to get this in order first. They they They have nothing yet. They've got to get this in order first because until. They're able to say to each other, you know why we lost? We lost because we messed around with stupid stuff.

We lost because We decided to engage in pandering on pronouns and we angered parents with their children's sports and all this other stuff and we you know we abused our authority Until they're able to say that, they're just going to keep losing. It doesn't matter what kind of ecosystem you have. It's it's It's crazy. Media Matters was so upset. Uh They're the head of Media Matters.

went off on the quote right-wing misinformation engine. and was very upset essentially that his You wan you wanna talk about a bubble? Media Matters, which controls the newsrooms of CNN and MSNBC, and that's absolutely true. They're upset that they got beaten. Doesn't that tell you with all of the everything that the left controls, doesn't that just underscore how bad?

Democrats' policies were And how bad this candidate was? that they couldn't even all muster the mo the the people together to vote for her for her to win. But they won't look at it like that. That's the one thing that Democrats are really good at. They will shoot themselves in their own foot.

Before they admit, That anything that they did was wrong. It's always your fault. It's not their fault, it's your fault. Apparently Kamala Harris is broke. Did you hear about the 20 million?

There's like millions of dollars missing. She's going to, I don't know how she's going to. She's gonna have to Get it somehow. I was reading a piece on how I mean, they pay the entertainers to re perform, like Lizzo. I saw one person in the Harris campaign try to throw another person in the Harris campaign under the bus by saying, oh, that was so-and-so's idea to do the concerts.

They paid the s I know they paid the social media influencers. Because that's all open secrets. They paid for celebrity endorsements. She apparently overspent. by twenty million dollars.

And did they pay Beyoncé anything? Didn't she perform?

Well, no. She didn't perform. Yeah, they probably do. They probably done.

So twenty million dollars. She's spent over. Wow.

So Uh yeah. I guess I don't know how she's she's gonna have to pay I I I don't know how she's gonna pay back, but that's that's Pretty bad. All of it's paid. She paid for all of this. The internal polls were so bad, they thought that they could just pay.

People to draw out crowds. They thought that they could Hey. celebrities and pay like these Gen Z influencers. to draw out the crowds in huge numbers and they didn't. I mean, you know w you know what would have been cheaper for her to do?

Maybe not run like an insane Marxist. maybe have policies that weren't hideous. Maybe have actually a policy. I don't know. Maybe have like a solution.

That sounds like that's cheaper than paying all of these people to endorse your campaign and to. to make videos about you and all of that stuff, right? It seems like it. But that's not how. That's not how the left is looking at it.

Mm. A few other things. Oh. We've uh because she spoke last night, Biden spoke earlier today. And I thought this was interesting.

Audio Soundbite 19. I don't know when they're gonna meet, but apparently they're supposed to meet. They've already been in touch about the transfer of power. Listen to this, CUT 19. Over 200 years, America has carried on the greatest experiment.

In self-government in the history of the world. That's not hyperbole, that's a fact. We're the people. The people vote and choose their own leaders, and they do it peacefully. And we're in a democracy.

The will of the people always prevails. Except when it doesn't. Yesterday, I spoke with President-elect Trump. to congratulate him on his victory. And I assured him.

I would direct my entire administration. to work with his team. to ensure a peaceful and orderly transition. That's what the American people deserve.

Hmm. An orderly transition. I will say her. I will say Biden's message, her message, Kamala Harris's message seemed. She said, I'm going to continue the fight, but I can see the election.

or something to that effect. is what she had said. Uh his seemed more I don't know. It it do you think he was trying to make overtures to the other side? I don't know.

It also seemed like he was trying to say, I'm still president.

So Because they still have time. They got to try to. put a to steal all of their Policies against Trump coming in, all of the everything that they've implemented, they've, you know, particularly the immigration, because I would imagine that's how awkward is that, too, by the way. Trump's coming in. And you know like one of the first things that he's going to do is undo Biden undoing what Trump did.

So Trump comes in, he uses executive order to implement immigration and then pushes legislature to catch up. Biden comes in with executive order, undoes it. Trump's going to come in and with executive order undo Biden's undoing of his first order. We're just going to go back and forth on this, right? Back and forth, back and forth.

In the meantime, though, There is a massive amount Promising for lawfare. I'm looking, this one piece I was looking at, this was uh da da da da. Who was this? It's either Letitia James or it was c uh no uh Cover healing. A Massachusetts Governor Healy, audio soundbite 6.

Listen to this because this is exactly what they're. This is what they're, they have to try to protect against Trump coming in. Listen. If the Trump administration requests it, would the Massachusetts State Police assist in mass deportations? No, absolutely not.

But, you know, let me say this. I do think it's important that we all recognize that there's going to be a lot of pressure on states and state officials. And I can assure you, we're going to work really hard to deliver.

Some realities also need to be noted. And that is in 2016, we had a very different situation in the courts. And while I'm sure there may be litigation ahead, there's a lot of other ways that people are going to act and need to act for the sake of their states and their residents. There's regulatory authority and executive powers and the like. There's legislation also within our states.

So I think that the key here is that every tool in the toolbox has got to be used to protect our citizens, to protect our residents, and protect our states. they don't have that right because that's a crime, what you're talking about. Uh So they said that That they will use executive power to stop Trump from deporting criminal, illegal aliens, unless they're sent to Martha's Vineyard, right? Mm. Unless they're sent to Martha's vineyard.

a beautiful, beautiful island. Uh Chappaquittick is in fact uh where the Clintons have their isl uh their house uh off of beautiful beautiful island in uh Massachusetts. Never been there myself. But I hear it's lovely. Hair's lovely this time of year, the fall time, Kane.

Yeah, people people love them some Martha's Vineyard, just south of Cape Cod. And uh I Remember distinctly. When a bunch of Illegal aliens were sent to Martha's Vineyard. Kane, do you remember what happened? I remember it took weeks and weeks and weeks to get those illegals out of Martha's Vineyard.

Oh, it did? Weeks and weeks. What? It took 24 hours. 24.

and deported them. Immediately. Who's racist? Yeah, so Only if they're in only if they're sent to like Martha's Vineyard or like maybe Nantucket. you know, Cape Cod, hanging a sport, where maybe maybe something like that.

If they're sent there, you k no, no. But everywhere else So, I don't believe you. I don't believe her when she says this. We have Florida Man on the way. And coming up in the third hour, my friend Daniel Horowitz is going to join me because the economy.

That's I mean Is everybody just kinda waiting their breath, waiting for like the bomb to go off, economically speaking? I feel like that's what's happening and I feel like it's all primed. and timed.

So, uh First up. Pulling up on my All my fun stuff here. Uh, first up. A Florida man was convicted of attacking a victim. with a sword, During a road rage incident.

This happened in Sumter County, Florida. If Florida man is facing legal repercussions after he was found guilty. A felony criminal mischief for using a sword during a road rage incident. The charges against forty five year old Lyell Lewis Sloan arrives from a road rage incident which took place a couple of years ago, but had escalated into a full on physical confrontation. Sumter County Sheriff's Office deputies responded to a call about an armed and dangerous dude.

And when they arrived, the deputy spoke with the victim and a witness. They said they were traveling together in a truck. The guy was driving erratically, he obstructed their path. Uh that the this guy in front of them, they said he veered off the road, stopped in a ditch. uh and then he tried to taunt them, to try to escalate the incident to a physical altercation.

They tried driving away 'cause he was trying to block their their path. And that's when he ran in front of their vehicle and uh they contacted law enforcement They said that When the perpetrator saw the individuals and approached them, he. Literally, like, grabbed a sword from his truck and lunged at them, wielding it. Why does every for real, do you know how many stores we have every like week? It seems like somebody's got a machete or a sword.

Is that like a thing in Florida? Like your concealed carry machete. I don't know. Uh but uh they figured the guy was drunk when when deputies arrived, they placed him under arrest, so. You know, there's mm-hmm.

Let's see. I got a couple. We got the shark bite guy. This one I'm not reading 'cause it's gross. Uh, this uh it's true, it is.

There's one guy who and I see I literally have another guy threaten another person with a machete. Yeah, another machete. This was seven days ago. This one is a teenager who threatened this elderly person with a machete. Uh and this was uh uh in Jacksonville.

It was at a suburban Jacksonville library.

So that, of course, he got arrested, but I'm just like, that's my whole point. How many of these stories? I mean, I'm. And I have another one that I read just last week that I have listed here. I'm going to start collecting all our machete swords.

Stories. This, let's see, deputy man, Florida man, deputy say, was accused of grabbing two women. He grabbed two women by the throat. Near a polling place, he was upset over politics.

Well, you can't assault people over it. This was in Fish Hawk. They say that in this Florida town, election day turned violent. Deputies were called because this old dude named Stuart James McMillan, 71, and two women had a disagreement over political candidates. McMillan pulled one of the victims' flags to the ground, grabbed her hair and throat.

The second victim tried to help. He also grabbed her throat. And they said that it was the polling station. They said that they were attacked for expressing their free speech.

So, this guy was arrested. He was charged with two counts of battery. Is it just battery? I mean, you grab someone by the throat. I guess.

I don't know. I know that's probably like a legal definition question, but still, I'm like, that seems like it's assault. But guy's 71 years old.

Now, if they would have attacked him. They would have gotten an additional charge for attacking an elderly person. Because it's like 65 or older, then there's an additional. You get an additional slab, like you attack somebody 65 years of age or older, because we have a ton of those stories in Florida, man, where somebody attacks, and you could be like 64 and attack a 65-year-old. Because we had one of those stories, and that guy, the six, I swear to you, the 64-year-old got hit with like one of those attack an elderly person kind of thing.

That's not fair. Yeah, yeah, I mean, it's not entirely fair, but you know. That's kind of the way it is. All right, we have more to come. Our third hour.

We've got to get into the economy. Uh and also uh The new new Congress. Going to have to discuss this too. Stick with us. We have had an enormous setback.

in this election. Because The Fascist. one, a lot of working class support, which has happened before in history, and we can talk about that. But um You know, I think What is important is that We have to be able to hold that analysis and have these discussions without turning on each other.

Well, you kind of just did there. I mean, AOC is like, well, the fascists won working class support.

So she just said that the working-class people that voted Democrat prior were fascists because they're backing a fascist. I've heard that right, right, Kane? That's what I heard. That's what I heard. That's what she just said.

So how how are you separating Calling him a fascist. And then saying that the people who voted for him that were working class, that had previously voted Democrat, are also. Fascists They're having a hard time. They're having a really hard time. It's day two.

of the loss. Day two. Welcome back to the program. Who Dana last year with you at the top of this third hour? They're having a really hard time.

Sonny. What's her name, Hosten? I think so. Over at the view. Get that ready.

I don't know it is it uh she's got like a coon's name, doesn't she? Class and She's basically said to blank all them voters. She's very upset. They had a big fight about it. on the schmoo.

Which, if you have never watched the Schmoot, it's a delightful little show where they place a camera into a barnyard and you have these, you know. Chickens that cluck and heifers that get in there and everything else, and that's uh they put it on uh NBC. It's uh fascinating. Fascinating story and they all talk around a round table. But they were very upset about this, and they were saying that.

Subsets. Listen. Finally, we talk a lot about these different demographics and these assumptions of where they're going to go. Latinos in Texas, a district that's 97% Latino, went 75 percentage points for Donald Trump. Why?

Misogyny. No, it's on the border. The border crisis is on their doorstep.

So exciting. And they were begging people to care about it for years. We need to take some lessons. But lessons are not less than that. Nothing.

Who's there? Oh, my gosh. It's whooping. Yeah. Misogyny and sexism.

Sunny Hosten says because you know she's been to the RGV Many a time, I'm sure. She's got a her she's got a house in McAllen, I'm sure, right? Whatever. She thinks that all of the people down there in the border who voted overwhelmingly. Republican.

It's not because of the open border and the lawlessness. that is destroying their community and threatening their security. It's because they just didn't like the fact that Kamala Harris is a woman and a mixed race woman at that. Didn't like it. They will never win.

because they're never going to understand how to appeal to voters. Especially like with that attitude, they are never gonna win. I'm okay with that, Kane. You okay with that? Yeah.

I'm alright with it. Yeah. Go ahead and let him do that. They're never going to win because they think that everything comes down to Race and sex. Oh no, it couldn't possibly be because people were tired of having to deal with cartel violence and they were tired with the deluge of illegal immigrants coming across the border.

Lawlessness and disorder couldn't be because of that. It's because of racism and sexism. They do this to themselves. You're attacking your own, you're attacking people who were your voters. You're running them further away from you.

It's um Really Yeah. when there were a lot of Democrats who chose not to pull the lever for Hillary. and after years of loyal voting, and supporting the party. They decided that they were going to call all of these people racists and sexists. And now they're doing it all over again.

The fact that they can't speak to what is The main issue and why? for those voters in border towns is why Democrats won't win them. If you can't identify and speak to the problem, how the hell are you going to communicate with them? How are you going to win them? This whole well, it's racism and sexism.

You just made it worse. because you diminish the actual concern. You dismissed it. And then you impugned their character because you are unable. to counter it.

You're unable to speak to the issue. that is the most important to them. And because you have an inability to do that, You think that they have a moral failing. It's horrible. This entitled Broad sitting there up on the view who's never ever had to worry about anything but silver spoons, Actually, it has the audacity to impugn the character of people who live in border towns.

Oh, the problem is you. It's not that our candidate was unqualified, it's that you. You are a moral failure. You are a racist. You're a sexist.

That's what it is. Jeez. That doesn't do anything to persuade people to support you. It builds resentment, and in fact, you're stealing the opposition. That's I mean, that's exactly what's happening.

They did vote for Hispanics just I I mean he built Uh a huge, huge coalition and doubled his support. But you know else who else? Voted For Trump, and actually, of all the demographics, voted for him at a higher rate than any other racial demo. This should be a very good thing. shocked me.

When you break down black, Hispanic, Latino, Asian. American Indian Other. White. You get you see the breakdown. You had four white people of those who voted, 43 to 55 percent, 55 percent red.

Black Americans Uh was higher than it was previously, but it's still low, twelve percent. Hispanic Latino is 45% red now. Asian Americans 38 percent red.

Now, this is still a small number, but it is a huge. segment of the number. American Indians 35 to 64% red. I am Shot. It's almost like Years of appropriating their ethnicity by Democrats, i.e.

Elizabeth Warren. Years of continuing Democrats' racial policies. You know, I mean, not allowing American Indians to even own their own property on reservations. And Introducing and creating and maintaining policies that keep them on those reservations, keep them on government-leased land. It's almost like that that's not attractive to Uh American Indian voters anymore.

Is that? Like dumping a bunch of chemicals in the Animus River in Colorado and having it poison your livestock and hurt your crops, and then there being no apology from the EPA on that. It's almost like. There's a history of Democrats doing stuff to American Indians that finally American Indians are like, maybe we shouldn't support the party that actually put us where we are. Maybe we shouldn't support the party that put us on the trail of genocide.

Maybe we shouldn't support the party that ignored a Supreme Court order and seized lands in contravention of the Constitution. and marched us all from Georgia to Oklahoma. Maybe we shouldn't support the party that continues those policies, although they're more widely acceptable within the left today. It's pretty stunning to see that fraction. break away like that.

I mean, I'm I I mean, I would not I did not see that. actually happening. Uh The Issues that Democrats were pushing. galvanized an opposition coalition. Unlike anything I've seen.

Unlike anything I've seen. And it's still, I mean, I still think we're going to see some other crazy trends. happening from this.

So some of this other stuff that I wanted to hit as well. Because we got a lot of audio on that too. Uh This uh As far as accepting the results of the election, Audio Sun by two. Harris spoke yesterday, finally. She spoke.

And Well, this is what she said about accepting election results. Watch. Now I know. Folks are feeling and experiencing a range of emotions right now. I get it.

But we must accept the results of this election. Earlier today, I spoke with President-elect Trump and congratulated him on his victory. I also told him-here's the problem that I so they're saying, and I haven't really heard her speak, I'm sure we'll hear her talk about this stuff in the future. But they're saying that we have to re respect the results of the election. They're not in a way they're not.

Because they don't Except why they lost. They can't They cannot believe that they were rejected. Because Their policies are so bad. They are genuinely shocked, folks. They really believed that they had the answer.

They are so out of touch, they're shocked. That's why you got Jimmy Kimmel crying. You got all these people cutting their hair off. It's the wildest thing I've ever seen. They are genuinely shocked about this.

And in the meantime, there's no reconciliation. Did you see some of this stuff?

So, Tim Cook over at Apple. He issued a statement on X. saying that He congratulated Trump on his win. Instead, he looks forward to working with him to help make sure the U.S. continues to lead and be fueled by ingenuity, innovation, and creativity.

Oh my gosh. People were slamming him.

Well, there was the criticism that Siri would only show a picture of Harris's face when asked about the 2024 election. But then people were mad that Tim Cook. Had uh If Tim that Tim Cook should not have congratulated him, Tim Cook should not have been. Kind in his remarks. And they were basically saying that he was, because he congratulated him and he said, We look forward to engaging with you and your administration, et cetera.

People they're acting like he's a traitor. The left is acting like he's a traitor to the leftist ideology. He's not the only one. Jeff Bezos. Also Now remember, Jeff Bezos, and I'm still, you know, I like that he said what he said about Washington Post and the media coverage and conservatives.

However, I don't think that you, like I said, I don't think that Washington Post needed to formally endorse someone because they do with bias in their pages every day. But Bezos congratulated Trump. And remember they refused to endorse Harris. And their editorial I will give them that. They w they w they got into a fight the editorial board.

But he uh had congratulated him again on X. Said big congratulations to our forty fifth and now forty seventh President on an extraordinary political comeback and decisive victory. No nation has bigger opportunities. Oh my gosh, and they're blasting him. He says, wishing Trump all success in leading and uniting the America we love.

The left was apoplectic. Abs now you know what they're all saying. Oh, Trump's loyal billionaire friends. They're going to run America. Would you classify Jeff Bezos as a loyal Trump billionaire friend?

Yeah. Would you classify Tim Cook as a loyal Trump billionaire friend? All it is is Musk. And Musk, if you remember, he wasn't endorsing anyone months ago. He didn't get into the endorsement game until late in the presidential election, and he campaigned with Trump.

I felt like he waited and watched and saw how Americans voted. And I feel like he waited a decent amount of time because he didn't want to put his thumb on the scale one way or the other. And I think that him doing that was actually really smart. And I don't think that Elon Musk gets enough credit. for allowing voters to take the lead during the primary and everything else.

And then after the general election and when it mattered, then he came out and made his endorsement. And I think that that's incredibly savvy that he did that. He was very reserved in his use of influence. And I don't think he gets the credit that he deserves for that. I really don't.

But to sit here and classify him as they were fine, they were fine with Jack Dorsey. Hell, the left love Jack Dorsey being on their side. He used to own X, which was Twitter then. They were fine with that. They were fine when they thought Zuckerberg was on their side.

They're fine with George Soros. They're fine with Warren Buffett. Oh my gosh, but one Elon Musk one of them? Oh, his billionaire friends. They're running the country.

Oh, suddenly they're upset about that? And now, all of the news you would probably miss, it's time for Dana's Quick Five. So, I am fascinated by this story that. Where's, let me pull this up.

So this is in South Carolina.

So they've had ABC says that there are 43 primates on the loose in a South Carolina town. They escaped from a research lab. And at least 43 of them, they say. And they've been telling people, authorities, quote, strongly advised residents to keep their doors and windows locked after the animals escaped. And they said at this point, none have been captured.

Traps were being set around the Alpha Genesis Primate Research Center. It was a bunch of Rezus macaque monkeys that escaped. Rhesus macaque macaque. Monkeys that escaped. En masse from their enclosures.

It's an outbreak. And they said they can, you know, they're... They're They're going crazy.

So they're telling people, lock your doors. The 43 macaque monkeys are out to terrorize you. That's actually kind of funny. Meat, carnival. Hmm.

A Bay Area carnival where no folk forks are allowed.

Well Bay Area, I'm actually surprised because it's Bay Area. Meat Carnival also sounds like a great. Punk or a metal band name. It's literally called Meat Carnival, and you can go and eat meat there. I'm actually surprised it's in the Bay Area.

I'm shocked by this. Daniel Horowitz joins us. For a big old conversation about the economy and what to expect here coming up, stick with us. Make some common sense of the crazy headlines with the Dana Show Podcast, your on the go guide for getting up to speed on today's most important stories. Subscribe on YouTube, Apple or your favorite podcast platform.

Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash here with you at the bottom of this third hour. And we're in day two of The Reckoning. Which actually, that's, I mean, instead of election 2024, it's really the reckoning 2024. Let's just put it like that.

The major victories that have been wrecked up, and we're still kind of keeping an eye on the house. But one of the things that I don't think is being discussed enough is, so when are they going to pull the lever and make the economy tank and then blame the Republicans for it so that they can make way for Gavin Newsom in 2028? Let's just get right into it. We're going to our good friend, Daniel Horowitz, who you can follow on X at RM Conservative. He is the editor, senior editor over at the Blaze, and he's host of the CR podcast.

And he joins us now via either Zoom or Skype. I don't know, but he joins us, and we're happy to see him. All right, Daniel, so what is the answer to that magic question? You've written a lot about this. In fact, there aren't a lot of conservatives that have talked about it, but it's going to happen at some point.

And I just feel like they're waiting for everything to get settled. They're going to pull that lever and then, boom, we got Gavin Newsom in 28. They're going to do what they do, Dana, and We know what it is. The question is: what are we going to do? Here's the important thing.

We have the keys, okay? We have half the states that we see there's dominant, dominant residual power. I mean, we could talk about the supermajorities that were strengthened and fortified. Obviously, in Texas, got ridder. And then at the federal level, you know, it looks like they will get the House probably narrowly, you know, 53 seats in the Senate.

But really, it's not so much the seats, it's the mandate.

Okay, the mandate is unmiskate uh uh uh you cannot you cannot run away from the fact that they threw everything they could at Trump and he won. Really You know, historically, maybe it's not a landslide, but in a divided country, it's a landslide. And now the question is: how do we break this vicious cycle? And you know what I mean, Dana by this cycle. Yeah.

Republicans win. Do nothing with it. And then inevitably the pendulum swings back. And you have nothing to show for it. The other side rebuilds, which they always do, and it's very quick.

And then you're left with nothing, and you have a worse hand. What's even worse is, even if the Democrats don't have another COVID. If you know what I mean, internationally, to unleash upon us or something similar. Just the existing debt bomb, unless we cut spending in some way. It's going to continue, and now Republicans are going to own everything that got them elected.

They're going to. own that grenade with the pin in it and the time running out.

So, you know, one of the things that I think we need to do differently this time. Is see how we could forge enduring policy victories. like the Democrats do. Notice that the Democrats lost because of Obamacare, but Obamacare is still here. Yeah.

All their policies endure. Even the few good things Republicans do, they never endure. What is durable? is the Red States. How do we empower them at a federal level?

To enact reforms in a way that will be unreachable from pendulum swings. That is, I think, where we need to think.

So when you think of education. Transportation. Welfare, Medicaid, agriculture.

So you put that together, we're talking about serious ticket items, not just like funding Ukraine, which is maybe just stupid, but it's not going to balance the budget. Obviously, I'm all in favor of cutting as much as we can. But inevitably, it's going to be hard to get a narrow Republican Rhino majority, and they are bad, by the way. The crop of Republicans we still have that we got elected to pass this stuff. They're going to be scared of the blowback.

What if we had a budget neutral plan? Where we're like, all right, let's keep it at the levels it is, but we devolve it to the states.

So, if you're in California and you want to spend like a drunken sailor, go hang yourself with it. Here's the money. From henceforward, you're responsible for it and go do it. But this way the Red States For example, with Medicaid, they could start experimenting with more private options, direct primary care options, cut out the middleman. And gradually phase it out, which is something that at a federal level, it's hard to imagine will ever happen.

Ditto for education, ditto for all these agriculture programs in the farm bill. These are the sort of innovative ideas I think we need to start. Depositing and use the reauthorization bills, the budget reconciliation, those few narrow channels. You know, you have a couple of bullets to fire, they have to really pack their punch. That's a really good point.

Talking with our friend Daniel Horowitz, who's the senior editor over at the Blaze and host of the CR podcast. That's a good point. And strengthening, I mean, and.

Now that we I I you know uh 'cause everything on the federal level all I we for right now we have a victory, but I completely agree with you. It seems like conservatives and Republicans always forget when you get these victories in dc that you have a grace period Until that changes to beef up. you know, your your authority and influence state by state. Whether or not they take that opportunity, you know, that's another thing entirely, which gets us to one of the things that you brought up. Cutting spending, and I had my friend Glenn Reynolds on Instapundent the other day, and I agree with him.

He said, He was saying that if this is going to be done, you have to go in full speed, all gas, no brakes. Go in and just start slicing and dicing everything before the bureaucracy can maneuver against you. Do you think that that is feasible? Do we even have the political will? I just think if we act fast, that maybe Republicans will feel like all this goodwill momentum we got from the election will kind of cover them and give them a little extend to them like a little grace period.

I don't know. Is that a realistic thing, like this Javier Malai sort of Argentinian approach?

So, I think what I posited now is more realistic, but I do think. It should be a mix of certain things developed to the states and certain things we should chuck completely. You're absolutely right. If we're ever going to do it, I don't know the answer to whether Republicans will, but we need to push it. And if you're ever going to do it, it could be now.

I mean, even the left is like, they're saying, oh my gosh, this was an unbelievable mandate. Even though you peek under the hood, it is kind of an uneven outcome. In the swing states, they really didn't pick up much down ballot. And that's why they're struggling to win the house.

So, all the more so, there are some anemia, the seeds for their dissolution.

Next time, we're sewn with the results this time. And that's really the case with every victory on both sides. The pendulum swings. You got to do it now. I think the most important thing right away is we have to make sure.

I haven't seen much news on this, but Trump should call on Congress to. pass a clean continuing resolution until March, April, the earliest spring.

So we don't have to wait until the next fiscal year because you got to get the spending down.

So he could deal with this year's FY 2024 budget. And then Write out a budget reconciliation. A bill that could pass with simple majorities. And here's the thing. In the lead up to the election, budget reconciliation was mainly talked about in the context of drilling and tax cuts.

Mm-hmm. As you all know, that's not going to... Deal with inflation. They might be good policies, they're not going to deal with inflation. I think this needs to be the presidency.

Where the lead is the cutting spending, not cutting taxes. You know, we've done that every single time. Reagan Bush, first term of Trump. Generally it was good. But at this point, the spending is the bigger issue because frankly, most families pay more now in the greater cost of living than they do in federal income taxes.

That's a really good point. That is a very good point, and one that I had not heard introduced before. I mean, I always think it's good to go after taxation, but government spending, though, is what's, I mean, as you just pointed out, that's what's driving all of this. I mean, you reduce that if we can. I know Elon Musk said he wants to cut $2 trillion.

$2 trillion, that's... That's a lot. That's a lot to cut. I mean, I hope so. I would love if they came out and said, you know what, we're going to abolish the IRS and get rid of all this stuff.

I think that you that's how you get lifetime voters, but again, as you pointed out. Earlier, too, you still have a lot of really weak Republicans, and that's kind of what it comes down to. It's not just that you have Republicans that are taking over the Senate or that are fighting to and battling to control the House right now, the quality of Republican, which in Texas we know very well. That counts. That counts for something.

No, it's funny watching everyone during election season, everyone's like, it's just R versus D. Oh, and this seat, and this state. And with no understanding about the quality, okay, that's fine. And then, when you come to the legislative season, everyone's like, what's wrong with these Republicans? How did this guy get in there?

Yeah. Yeah, so I mean look I'm not Casting a spurtons on general election strategy. But we do have to start thinking about 2026 primaries, particularly most red state governorships, Texas being one of them. They're up in the midterms, but the primary recruitment is really next year. And this is why I think.

We can't put all of our eggs in the federal basket. And even some of the things we do should be oriented towards how to give states. Like, here's another example. You're not going to reform. The budget.

You're not going to cut spending and cut inflation without dealing with healthcare. Healthcare is. A dumpster fire. It's both. Making us chronically ill, and then it's also the way we pay for it, it's just utterly insane.

And again, There's a lot of ideas I have, but in terms of what's realistic with a rhino-controlled Congress, and again, it is both. majorities. I'm just gonna tell you, like right now we are thinking Please, please, could these liberal Republicans in California win so you get a two-seat majority in the House? And you know, frankly, some of these new guys in the Senate, I'm just going to tell you they're quintessential Bush-era Republicans that nobody wants to talk about. And it's fine, I'm glad they won, but let's be honest with ourselves.

So let's be realistic and start empowering better red state governors. Focusing on the state legislatures and the few. legislative Leverage points we have to get around the filibuster, unite people, for Trump to expend his political capital and saying, I want you all behind this, should be things that give more flexibility, such as if you're not going to repeal Obamacare, I mean, we should. Yeah. At least max out.

On the state waivers to allow states to offer insurance plans that are cheap for catastrophic, so then you can evacuate from the system and power direct primary care. And that's part of the whole, you know, Maha movement. Evacuating from this just horrible system where we spend more money than anyone else and are sicker than anyone else. I think they need you in DC. Advising the transition.

I know they would never have you because you make too much sense and you know how to do math. But I just, you know, it feels like that, you know, that kind of guidance is needed because you're very practical without this. One last thing, because you had a really great piece over at the Blaze Hut that you ran. This was like a couple weeks ago. How your wallet is paying for the government's spending binge.

And you get into this with the Treasury Department, the receipts for federal spending. This is part of what you were talking about with the government needing to cut spending. But however, we're, I mean, a recession. Is officially looming. Inflation's horrible.

I don't know how long we can hang on. If this is going to be something that pops off before the inauguration in January, before the new Congress can go in and do anything, if you had to look in your magic gate ball, what would it be? What would you speculate?

So, I mean, it's hard to tell because, in some ways, we are in a recession. In terms of the jobs for full-time jobs for citizens, That are not government jobs. We've been in a, I mean, even the BLS numbers, we've been in a recession for months in terms of jobs. In terms of economic growth, all of the economic growth is coming from government spending. And we're getting 59 cents on the dollar.

So we're not, it's. The top seven companies juicing up the SP, it's a mirage. All of this is a mirage, it's already happening.

Now, just because Trump won an election, obviously he's not even in office until January 20th. It doesn't magically change. Like, we're still in that. Nothing has changed. Even if Trump were the greatest conservative, didn't have anything to do with, you know, his first term was a totally new face.

he would be facing this challenge. Look, what do you do when you're handed? 1.2 trillion in annual interest on the debt, where now, even with the Federal Reserve cutting rates, it doesn't matter because.
