Over 200 years, America has carried out the greatest experiment in self-government in 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 that I 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 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 were a couple of things that I picked up on in this whole thing. And one of those was that he seemed like he was planting the flag on the hill, so to speak. Like this, I still have this much left of my tenure as president. and we're going to do this. And it's almost like he was saying, you know, you're not president yet. But he also seemed to be a lot kinder than I thought he would be to Harris in his remarks. He seemed happier.

Did he not seem happier? He seemed way happier. It's like he was so happy that he doesn't have to be president anymore. That's what it seemed like. And 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 going to 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're already at David Plouffe, 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, it is 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 us?

And so there's that, 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 from Axios saying that Jill Biden apparently blew up when Kamala Harris.

had called Biden a racist during the whole busing, that whole topic during the debate. So, I don't know, like, do you get over something like that? I don't know. I just feels, but I do feel that, and you can kind of see this, that the Biden's 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 and 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 know, 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, you know, 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 sumby won. 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 was kind of goofy for her that she said it that way. Did you guys see Tim Walz and Doug Emhoff just bawling? Yeah, watch this. This was weird.

And also, I think it was Doug Emhoffs, the one who's supposed to be the model. Standing next to him, he was also crying. Watch. My dead gay son. They had that whole Heather's vibe. Look at that. They're all like they're at a funeral. I mean, they kind of are.

They're at the funeral for Kamala Harris's campaign. She's never going to 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. Okay. they think i mean they had john edwards for crying out loud he's still living he's still out there uh 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 then he's missing 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 melon so the fact that you have the southern the southern male whore who was cheesing meeting with this videographer and there's a socialite 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 going to happen to Hunter Biden? You know what Joe's going to 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 J-6 is pardoned 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 us. 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 uh 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 uh jimmy kimmel also cried these big tough dudes okay this is audio soundbite 8 is this where he's crying crying like a little b okay go ahead go ahead and roll this roll tape 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. For health care, for our climate. I think these people actually believe this. 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 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. He just, the fact that he and these others get so upset over this and they're so, like, they're bawling and, oh, it's super interesting. I, I, and crying. And these are the people who actually think Trump's Hitler.

So now you can see why they, they think Hitler won. They've actually convinced themselves of this. And 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. And then, then you have this. This was a Harris surrogate, Audio Soundbate 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 a popular across the state, and not just in the liberal bastions of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, but also in the tea. Is that the big mistake? I think it's one of the, 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 still kicking themselves. But she would have looked really dumb. She really would have. I think 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, he's more articulate and has a better grasp of the issues than Harris does. I think that's pretty, 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've 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.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. All right. So first up, the 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 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 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 Black's Digital Markets Act so this this was they this they were being accused of violating antitrust laws and this was 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 ready in 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 this study. And 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 you, 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 bear. 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 be in 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. That left doesn't want reconciliation.

They never did. Stick with us. Preborn. They are partners with us. Preborn is a great organization that helps women and saves babies. And they do a lot. In fact, the preborn 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. They're 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. 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, you know, 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 ultrasound. 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.

Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash with you at the bottom of this first hour. And the anger from the left is now beginning to bubble up. and it's, 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. They love democracy. On the view, they're losing their minds. I'll do somebody 12. If we could regulate social media because one of the biggest defenders

is D.C. and Congress have not been able to do one thing in regard to the rogue corporations of social media. It's not going to get any better with Elon Musk. They're so mad over Elon Musk. they're so mad over 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, you know, 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 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 is 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 thrown on to it. But they are now, they're going back and they're, they're going back. 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. In 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, 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 CBSes and NBC's. 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, bigoted, bigoted, misogynist. What else is my missing cane. Transphobic, whatever, whatever is this. It was 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 and how dare you question their positions where they stand on things. That's their, that's part of the one of the reasons why they get so aggressive because they internal, 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 it, 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 racist. That's all they do. But that kind of helps to explain why they take it so personally. And they're still doing it. Audio sound by 10. Rachel Maddowen, 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, Isikoff and others, who were, had stories funneled to them by the Hillary Clinton campaign through a fusion GPS. The stories were laundered through the press and then they were brought to the FISA court to get a surveillance warrant on Carter Page, who at the time actually was the CIA asset and the CIA had to step in and thwop the FBI. Or let's look at what happened here with the, 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, like right before the election. And he had one on Sunday night, football, and then others. And they were caricatured, the ads as being, quote, anti-trans. This is what they wrote. And it was about, you know, she's for they, then, were 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.

and girls sports. So this is this is one example of many where the media is saying, oh, well, these are anti-trans ads. They actually didn't say anything anti-trans ads. They said she's for they, them, were 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, it's a vein of power. They want to control that power. They don't trust

it. They, 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 RT. Again, the same media that fabricated that the laptop was Russian misinformation peddled 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.

RT 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, an 18-year-old male. How they lied about Biden's dementia. I mean, we watched this guy 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, 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 RT. You have Stephanie Rule on MSNBC who's just out of her mind.

Speaking of which, more bad media, audio soundbite 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 were 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 post-mortem 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 going to 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 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 2020. Because Gavin Newsom is already wrestling in his cage. ReadyWise is always ready even if you aren't. ReadyWise is premium survival food.

Fuck all that shit. Being skinny, being hot, being all the things that the Patriarchy wants us to be. Don't worry. Clearly, they don't give a shit 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,

we're so scared of a woman in power. 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 uglier. 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 bag. 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.

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.

watching the left move from shock to despair and sadness. And some of them are now 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 a protest territory and church burning territory and, you know, 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 347s where the simulcast of the radio program also airs on direct TV. You can find the chat on Rumble, find us on X and 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 fight. And I had a couple of these headlines 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 wins X account that was the the main but 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 it, he said on social media, quote, it should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party, which is abandoned working class people, would find that the working class has abandoned them. And he said that while

Democrat leadership defends the status quo, 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 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 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, 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 conciliatory than others. Harris just sounded, I don't know. She seemed happier that she wasn't, I don't think she wanted to be president. I really don't think she did. I don't think she wanted to be president. 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 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 interest. He had a big statement. He talked about technology, all this stuff. 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, is, as an affirmation. It's wild. And there's still, I don't know if they're going to, I don't know if they're going to learn.

I mean, even in California. So Prop 36 passed overwhelmingly in California. That 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 reintroduced, they introduced property six, that one. And George Gascon, who is the Los Angeles District Attorney, he's the guy who's credited as the architect of the soft on crime Proposition 47. He lost his 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, 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 all of what I'm reading is

where's this one story? I read a story how celebrities are fleeing. Select our friend Sergio down in K-R-V. By the way, K-R-V down in RGV, Rio Grande Valley. Predominantly Hispanic, predominantly read this election. Cane, is that how racism works?

Bigot tree works? No, but it is how Democrats blame others for failures on their part. I mean, because everybody down seems lovely. They're very nice. You know, Sergio's very nice. You know, he runs K-U-R-V. They have a lot of great people there. One of our, one of our favorite affiliates. Very nice. You know, they didn't seem like is-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 we were talking, I'm still waiting. When do I get my government issued handmaid? Is it the handmade 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 taxpayer 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? That's right. You have it, you're, they haven't come and cut you in half and deported half of you. One'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's 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 who were some of the ones that are leaving they said who is this I don't know who this chick is

I don't even know who this this one chick who is she America Ferrer I don't know who she is who the hell is she I legit don't even know who she was she looks vaguely familiar

wasn't she in that Barbie thing she was she was also ugly Betty I think oh my gosh I like it even so she's one of the people who's apparently said that she wants to leave the United States. She's going to 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, like, 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. I 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. 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 the 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'm telling you.

This is something else. So we've got some audio too. So we have. Oh, here's Nancy Pelosi. Audio Sumbight 16. She did not want to answer single question about any of this. I actually just realized we haven't heard from her, have we? Interesting.

Audio Sambide 16, watch. Reaction to the Trump victory. Anything that could have been done differently? Run away. Run away. Run away. Well, 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, they're going at each other already. They're leaking to 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 like a good book. You just sit down and you read all these leaked stories.

And it's very interesting. So I don't know. You know, we'll see. But she was the one who's credited as the, architect of the switcher is so I'm I'm just are is she going to get the heat or are they going to are or is she too revered you think she's too revered to get any heat because 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 sound by 9. Lawrence Olivier O'Donnell. Thespian. M.S.NBC anchor. 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 just 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 chick like some random chick that you decided to promote ostentatiously before her time or qualifications necessitated it or could sustain 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 doesn't make any sense I mean there are actually better qualified they're still wrong because they're Democrats but they're better qualified but they're better qualified women on the left that could have run in her spot.

She's just horrid. So people are, we're putting memes out like, oh, Trump's beating two women now from getting to the White House. It's 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 Lawrence O'Donnell. 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. are somewhat new partners over at Burn a gun. Burna is your non-firearm firearm, and Burn a gun, well, it's all about making sure that you can still stay safe and remain safe and, 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 S.D. 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, one of my friends is, you know, she goes back. She has to live and work in D.C. And, I mean, 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 most everywhere, but not her burner. S.D. 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.

Let's see So 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 Just gonna go out of randomly out of nowhere We're gonna have a We're gonna have a flood here, just randomly.

I don't know. But it is neat to see. I mean, it was right by the rainbow. Maybe they saw 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, um, Nide Shamelon-esque, I have to say. A super yacht crew member, ah, this is insane. Casually just discarded

a $3 million dollar Andy Warhol Brillopad sculpture because they assumed it was just a giant box of brillo pads. And it was, it said 24 giant square, it was a, it was literally a thing that he

designed, they sold his sculptures and they were white, blue, and red, and it 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 box of burlough pads they didn't need. And they got rid of it. Oh, my gosh. Like, do you have, you would have to have insurance for that. And then how would insurance pay that out? I don't know. I don't know.

It's amazing to me. But yeah, can you imagine? Let's see. Okay. So now there's a what they call highly contagious jock itch. so it's similar to the monkey pox and 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 going to say the name of it Tricophyton Menta Groprite Genotype. Okay. They said it was 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.

I'm not even going to describe to you what these symptoms are because it's gross. But they said it's like symptoms are similar to ringworm. Ew. So maybe stop hoeing around. Super easy to not do that. I mean, it's just very, very simple. Let's just don't save a very. everybody, all of that. Oh my goodness. And let's see, we have a lot to get into, including

Kier-Starmer is apparently going to be dismissed by Trump. We also have to talk about the House. The left ones no reconciliation. Media, we got economy. So much more. Stick with us.

Keep your finger on the Pulse with a Dana Show podcast, delivering timely news with insightful analysis. Whenever you want, straight to you on YouTube.

or wherever you get your podcast. What explains it, do you? Well, I think What do you want me to say it? Well, if she were a six foot four white man from Arkansas or from, you know, 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, like, chew tobacco and carry a shotgun and talk about football and being, a guy's guy. I mean, you tell me. 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. Welcome back. Welcome back to the show, guys. Yeah, I don't really have anything to add to that. Yeah, they are. Welcome back. Dana last year with you at the bottom of the second hour. Well, they are.

But if he's, if they're trying to say that the reason that she didn't appeal to moderates, independence 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 her. I respect if it's they them. and everyone's looking at her scratching their head like what what does that have to do with being broke anybody anybody know nothing has nothing to do yeah so um it's they are not they're gonna 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 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. That's literally what you have with the left. It's what you have with network news. It's what you have movies. It's what you have with music. It's what you have with the art. It's what you have with everything. They, 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 that 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. them. Stop back being like you don't. You have that. It just didn't work because your policies are horrible. You weren't even 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 they're 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. 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 crazy. Media Matters was so upset. The head of Media Matters went off on the quote right wing misinformation engine and was very upset essentially that his, you want to 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 people together to vote 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 on 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. Do 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 have to get it somehow. I was reading a piece on how, I mean, they paid the entertainers to 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 this. I know they paid the social media influencers because that's all open secrets. They paid for celebrity endorsements. She apparently overspent by $20 million. And did they pay Beyonce anything? Didn't she perform? Well, no. She didn't perform. Yeah, they probably did. They probably did. So $20 million she spent over. Wow. So I guess I don't know how she's she's going to pay.

I don't know how she's going to pay back, but that's pretty bad. So there 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 pay celebrities and pay like these Gen Z influencers to draw out the crowd. in huge numbers and they didn't.

I mean, you know, 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 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. Woo. A few other things. Oh, we've, because she spoke last night. Biden spoke earlier today. And I thought this was interesting. Audio sound like 19.

I don't know when they're going to 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 out the greatest experiment in self-government in history of the world. And that's not hyperbole. That's a fact. Where 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 that I 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. His seemed more, I don't know. 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, still president. So they, because they've still had 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, 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 undue, 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?

Is this either Latisha James or it was, uh, no, uh, Governor Healy. 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, you know, 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, you know, 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, you know, every tool in the toolbox has got to be used to protect our citizens, to protect our residents and protect our states. And certainly to hold the line. They don't have that right,

because that's a crime, what you're talking about. But so they said that they're, they will use executive power to stop Trump from deporting criminal illegal aliens. Unless they're sent to Martha's vineyard, right? Unless they're sent to Martha's vineyard. Beautiful, beautiful island. Chappaquitic is, in fact, where the Clintons have their house off of beautiful, beautiful island in Massachusetts. It's never been there myself. But I hear it's lovely. Here it'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 I remember distinctly when a bunch of illegal aliens were sent to Martha's Vineyard. Kane, do you remember what happened with that?

I remember it took weeks and weeks and weeks to get those illegals out of Martha's Vineyard. Oh, it did? What? It took 24 hours. Yeah. 24 hours. They called in the guard 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, heinous port where maybe maybe something like that. If they're sent there, you can know, 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 kind of 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 for Trump to enter the White House. Patriot Mobile.

So first up, pulling up on my fun stuff here. 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. The Florida man is facing legal repercussions after he was found guilty of felony criminal mischief for using a sword during a road rage incident. The charges against 45-year-old Lylel Lewis Sloan arise from a road rage incident, which took place a couple of years ago, but it escalated into a full-on physical confrontation. Sumter County Sheriff's Office deputies responded to a call but 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. This guy in front of them, they said he veered off the road, stopped in a ditch. And then he tried to taunt them to try to escalate the incident into a physical altercation. They tried driving away because he was trying to block their path. And that's when he ran in front of their vehicle.

And 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 you're a concealed carry machete. I don't know. But they figured the guy was drunk 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 because it's gross. This,

that's true. It is. There's one guy who, and I see I literally have another guy who threatened 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. And this was in Jacksonville. It was at a suburban Jacksonville library. So that, of course, you 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's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, stories. Uh, this, let's see, deputy man, a, 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, uh, 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 victim's 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 don't know. I know that's probably like a legal definition question, but still I'm like, that's like it's

a salt. But guys, 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 it's, 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 attacked an elderly person kind of thing yeah yeah I mean it's not entirely fair but you know that's kind of it's kind of it's all right we have more to come our third hour we've got to get into the economy 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 won a lot of working class support, which has happened before in history. And we can talk about that. But, 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 fascist 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 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. Dana will last year with you at the top of this third hour. They're having a really hard time. Sunny, what's her name, Hosten? Over at the View. Get that ready. She's got like a Coon's name, doesn't she? Hosten. Hosten. 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 Schmoo, it's a delightful little show where they place a camera into a barnyard, and you have these chickens at Kluck and heifers that get in there and everything else.

And they put it on NBC. It's a fascinating, fascinating story. And they all talk around a roundtable. But they were very upset about this. And they were saying that, because they're fighting over, you know, the voting 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.

It's a border crisis is on their doorsteps. And they were begging people to care about it for years. We need to take some less. That's what that was. The lessons are not. Knock, knock. Who's there? Oh, my gosh. It's whooping. Misogyny and sexism.

So Sonny Hosten says, because you know, she's been to the RGV many a time, I'm sure. She's got a house of McCallin, I'm sure, right? Oh, yeah. 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're never going to win. I'm okay with that. Can you okay with that? I'm all right with it. Yeah. Go ahead and let them 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 do 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 really, we saw it in 2016 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 that's horrible This entitled broad sitting there up on the view Who's never ever had to worry about anything but silver spoons Actually 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 mean, he built a huge, huge coalition and doubled his support. But you know who else voted for Trump? And actually, of all the demographics voted for him at a higher rate than any other racial demo, this shocked me. When you break down black, Hispanic, Latino, Asian, American Indian, other white, you see the breakdown. You had four white people of those who voted, 43 to 55 percent, 55 percent red. Black Americans was higher than it was previously. but it's still low, 12%.

Hispanic Latinos, 45% red now. Asian Americans, 38% 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 shocked. 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 on their own property on reservations and introducing and creating and maintaining policies that keep them on those reservations, keep them on government lease land. It's almost like that that's not attractive to American Indian voters anymore, is it? Like dumping a bunch of chemicals in the Animas River in Colorado and having it poison your livestock and

hurt your crops and then there be 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.

That's pretty stunning to see that fraction break away like that. I mean, I'm, I mean, I would not, I did not see that actually happening. The issues that Democrats were pushing, galvanized an opposition coalition, unlike anything I've seen. Unlike anything I've seen. And it's, and it's still, I mean, I still think we're, we're going to see some other crazy trends happening from this. It's, it's just amazing.

So some of this other stuff that I wanted to hit as well, because we got a lot of audio on that too. This, as far as accepting the results of the election, audio is somebody too. 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 respect the results

of the election. But they're not, they're not in a way they're not. Because they don't accept why they lost. They cannot believe that they were rejected because their policies are so bad. They are

genuinely shocked, folks. They really believe 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 and said 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 I asked about the 2024 election. But then people were mad that Tim Cook had, 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 in your administration, et cetera. 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 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 the editorial, I will give him that, they got into a fight the editorial board. But he had congratulated him, again on X, said big congratulations to our 45th and now 47th president on an extraordinary political comeback and decisive victory. No nation has bigger opportunity. Oh my gosh, and they're blasting him. It says,

wishing Trump, all success in leading and uniting the America we love. The left was apoplectic. 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? Would you classify Tim Cook as a loyal Trump billionaire friend? All it is is Musk. And 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 loved 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 the 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 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 racuse monkey, macaque monkeys that escaped. Raisus macaque mucke m monkeys that escaped en masse from their enclosures. It's an outbreak. And they said they can, you know, 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. Me, carnival. A Bay Area Carnival where no forks or allowed. 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 you're coming up. Stick with us. Make some common sense of the crazy headlines with the Dana Show podcast. You're 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, 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, 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 R.M. Conservative. He is the editor, senior editor with 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 unmiscate. 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, Tainab by the cycle. 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. Right. 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 a 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,

know, 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-Rino 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? 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 hence forward, 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. Dido for education, diddo for all these agriculture programs and the farm bill. These are the sort of innovative ideas I think we need to start positing and use the reauthorization bills,

the budget reconciliation, those few narrow channels. 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, you know, because everything on the federal level, 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 D.C. That, you have a grace period until that changes to beef up, you know, 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, Instapundant the other day.

And I agree with him. 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, we'll kind of cover them and give them a little extent. into them like a little grace period. I don't know. Is that is that a realistic thing like this Javier Malai sort of Argentinian approach?

So I think what I posited now, I think is more realistic. But I do think it should be a mix of certain things devolved 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's going to be now. I mean, even the left. is like they're saying, oh my gosh,

this was an unbelievable mandate. Even though you know, you peek under the hood, it is, you know, 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, so all the more so, there are some enemic, the seeds for their dissolution next time were 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've got to get the spending down. So he could deal with this year FY 2024 budget and then write out a budget reconciliation bill that could pass with simple majority.

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. 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 those, 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.

Two trillion dollars. That's a lot. That's a lot to cut. I mean, I hope so. If they came out and said, you know what, we're going to abolish the IRS and get rid 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 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 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 aspersons on general election, you know, strategy. But, you know, 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, you know, 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 health care. Healthcare is a dumpster fire. It's both making us chronically ill and then it's also the way we pay for it is 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 going to 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. It's fine.

I'm glad they won. But let's be honest with ourselves. So let's be realistic and start empowering better right 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 say, 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, at least max out on the state waivers to allow states to offer insurance plans that are cheap for catastrophic so then you could 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 D.C. advising the transition. I know they would never have you because you made 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 a, it's like a couple of 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, I mean, a recession is officially is 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 apeal,

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. Yeah. 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 it's, we're not, it's the top seven companies juicing up the S&P. 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? We're now even with the Federal Reserve cutting rates, it doesn't matter because you have so much to offload onto the world to buy up these treasuries. you have the BRICS countries moving away from it, so the yields automatically have to go up and that creates a vicious cycle in and of itself to service the debt, accelerated deficits, and now you need to offer even higher rates,

and it goes on and on. So my point is, like, we could talk about foreign policy, we could talk about immigration, a lot of good things you can do. But when it comes to this issue, there is no shortcut around cutting spending. And if I were Trump, what I would do is put into the lexicon of the public. Cutting spending is cutting inflation.

Like, let's say there's a bill to cut $100 billion in spending. I'm cutting $100 billion of inflation. The public needs to see that. Back in the past, people didn't see the pain of inflation. Right. So we were just saying someday down the road, we're going to have to pay it back. No one care. They have to know that there's a point to the austerity.

Exactly. That it's not just we have to be honest with people. You love these programs, right? You hate all the inflation, the cost of living. You will never achieve the cost of living of your parents if we don't get rid of this. Right. There's no, we could talk about the messaging, but there is no shortcut around this. And, you know, without a strong push from the president, without a strong pick for Treasury Secretary, you leave this Congress to its own devices.

I mean, Dana, you tell me. me, you look in that roster. Usually there's like one or two big superstars. I don't see it the sanctest of this election. I don't either. I don't either. Definitely not in the house. I mean, there's a couple that come. There's a couple that are good, but you need more than that. You need

more than that to achieve what needs to be done here. I know we're going to be, we'll talk with you again. My friend Daniel Horowitz, it's always a pleasure, Daniel.

I'm repeatedly referred to Donald Trump as a threat to democracy over and over again. And this morning, know he said, we're all going to be okay. So, was that just political error? I mean, if you know the president, you know that him saying we're all going to be okay. He's an optimist, right? He believes

when you get knocked down, you get back up. Oh, there it is. Oh, but except for Biden, I just stole canes today and stupidity. I'm so sorry, but I couldn't wait because he gets knocked down. And then he gets knocked down. And then he gets knocked down. And then he gets knocked down again. And then he gets assistance getting up. And then he gets assistance in making sure he gets on his feet before it falls down all over again. You're never going to get him up. He falls down all over again. Sometimes in the tub.

Yeah, just, you know, sometimes going upstairs. So that's sitting stupidity. I just didn't mean to hijack it, Cain. I'll give you more time tomorrow. I was just really excited about that combination there. All right, folks, God bless. Find us on Substack chapter and Verse, YouTube, Facebook, like and subscribe.
