Terms apply. What I most appreciate about Cabot is that, like J.D. Vance last night during Trump's acceptance speech, when given the mic, he knows his job. I would like to correct him, though. 28 words, mostly flattering and then kick it back to the big guy. The one correction, though, for what Cabot said, he said he was kicking it over to the big guys. There is only one giant guy on set that is Dennis Prater, followed perhaps by Matt Walsh. The rest of us very moderately zodiac. Dennis, you would appreciate the showbiz of this joint.

We decided that we were going to make this video, right? We're all the Daily Wire hosts in black and white sort of silhouetted lighting. We're going to encourage people to go and vote. It worked. And so clearly it worked. They lined us all up in front of the LED wall, and they framed up the picture, and then the director came over and said, yeah, you're all too short except for Matt Walsh. We're going to make you stand on a box, and we're going to make you stand on a box.

I wish you had been there so that Matt would know. the humiliating reality of being out and step under an Applebox. So, guys, on a scale of 1 to 10, how good you're feeling right now? Like, really, can we, let's just, like, enjoy, right? There's going to be so many more battles in the future. There's going to be so much more to come. The left's just going to go away. I understand that it feels in the moment as though, you know, the thousand-year rain has begun.

But in reality, there will be battles for tomorrow. But let's just, like, you know, take a moment to just bask in the awesomeness. That is America, because this country just kicks royal ass. I mean, seriously, the American people stood up on their hind legs. And they said, no, we are tired of this. You have been proclaiming that Donald Trump is not normal for eight years at this point, for eight long years of him claiming that he's not normal. And what you mean by that is that he acts kind of weird and says kind of funny things.

But the actual normal that we want is, you know, like to be able to live with our families, is that you bothering us and telling us that our kids are members of the opposite sex. And that we ought to be able to keep the property that we build wealth and actually create things and then keep the products and exchange them. And that we ought to be able to have a safe and secure border. and that we ought to be able to have a powerful America. That's like normal. Normal is what my parents wanted, what my grandparents wanted.

That's normal. And you know what? I don't care what Donald Trump says. I care what Donald Trump does. What Donald Trump does is he brings back the normal. And so the Normies rose up yesterday and in a fit of righteous wrath smote down the nonbelievers in normiedom. And it's damned wonderful.

It really is. It just is great. It's great. I mean, I feel great. I feel like, on cloud nine, it also could be slightly sleep deprivation because two hours, about 48 in the last 48 hours. But to me, you know, we talked about this last night, but what I keep coming back to is that this really feels like just a total rejection of the leftist project on pretty much every count, certainly on all the big counts.

abortion, DEI, trans, the economy, crime, immigration. This was just a total rejection of the leftist position and all that. Now, you hesitate to say that because it makes it sound like, well, it's over. We can all go home. The fight's over. Of course, it's not. You know, the fight, now it's just a matter of, well, we know that we know we have a winning argument on all of these things. We have the winning argument.

but to translate the winning argument into actual victory, you know, beyond this election, legislative victories, policy victories, that becomes the project. Can I just say before everybody else jumps in? I want to give a special shout out to Matt Walsh because I was talking with Jeremy and Dennis a little bit earlier. Listen, everybody at this company has been working unbelievably hard to make things like this happen. That's what we do here, which is why you should, in fact, go subscribe and join us, 47 person off with Code Trump, because he's the 47th president, thank God. But Matt's three big sort of hits over the past, of course of the past three, four years,

what is a woman, which made the trans issue absolutely toxic to the left and was used in every single major campaign this election cycle, the Budweiser boycott, which was the American people saying, you are not allowed to just leverage down on us, a bunch of trash that we don't want, and then combine that with what you just did with, am I racist, where you completely exposed DEI for the griff that it is, and you were knocking out the legs of their stool. And those are all major, major components of what just happened to the Democratic Party last night. So a special shout out to Matt is where it. And of course, the entire company, which, I mean, let's be real about this, only Jeremy Boring would have made those films and would have produced those films.

Only I would have signed off at a very tangential level on those films and let everybody else do the work and then, you know, reap the benefits, which is what I do here. But that's it. But Matt, like, like, if I may, I want to describe, I analyze. my own self. So last night to my shock, I didn't feel happiness. I felt overwhelmingly shock and relief. Today it's all happiness, but I figured out why, and I gave this analogy on my radio show, if you see a drunk driver just about to hurt a loved one, maybe kill them or certainly terribly injured them at minimal. And then at the last moment, it hits a lamppost. The drunk driver hits a lamppost. Then what do you feel? You don't feel elation at that moment. You feel shock and relief.

The drunk driver is the left. The lamppost is the American people. The analogy to me is perfect. That's what happened. And that's why I understand my first reaction was not, wow, terrific. your your your your beloved my country is my beloved just as as as my family believe it or not i mean if i don't have my country yes it's wonderful to still have your family but people had their families in the soviet union it didn't it didn't compensate for what they had there so that that is my transition from relief to happiness like the drunk driver i think that's beautiful i think it is a perfect analogy and when I, you know, every time that I've been drunk and almost about to hit the lamp. I have nowhere to go with that because like Matt Walsh, I slept two hours, so I can't finish any joke.

Instead, I'm going to kick this thing over to our dear friend, host of the Megan Kelly show. I think one of the most important shows that is not on the daily wire and always a pleasure to have here with us, Megan Kelly. Hey guys, how's it going? Did you feel relief or did you feel happiness? Joy, coming in the morning. Come in the morning. I felt both, but I'm more in the happiness camp. I just feel like the people who are chopping up our children and opening our border and allowing these illegals to kill our young women are evil and must be stopped. They absolutely have to be fought and defeated.

We tried being nice. They didn't listen. and therefore it was hand-to-hand combat, and we won. And so I feel incredibly gratified and hopeful about the fact that that nonsense is going to stop and soon. And we finally have a powerful warrior in the top position. And there's actual real agenda items he can do to stop those things I just mentioned. You know, Megan, unlike the rest of us who are mostly partisan hacks, if I'm being honest, you're an actual journalist. And yet you did something that I don't think you've ever done in your career and you came out and endorsed Donald Trump, spoke at his final rally, if I'm not mistaken,

right before on the eve of the election. What went into making that decision and what was it like, you know, being in a friendly position with someone with whom you had so publicly sparred in the past? Yeah, we've had our ups and downs, Trump and I. But, you know, it's complicated, as I always say, because I am not just a booster of his. You know, I am a journalist. And so when he does stuff that I disagree with or that, you know, I feel an obligation to critique, I do it. And, and I do it. And And for some reason, I get under his skin. You know, he doesn't like it when I critique him. And that's fine.

I understand it. That's part of my business. So it's been, you know, rocky at times, including in the past year. But net net, he knows I'm a supporter of his. And I know he's going to do controversial things and attack me if I, quote, attack him. That's how he sees it. Nonetheless, none of that matters. You know, this is about the country, the future of our country.

And he, there's just no question. He's the man for the job right now. Even if they had a normal Democrat, I would have felt that very clearly. He's a fighter, and that's exactly what we need. That bloodied, in danger guy who stands up there with a fist is exactly what we need to fight these people who are not, just notwithstanding what you heard this morning and Morning Joe, going to roll over on any of their radical agenda. They're not. Their leftist-based will not allow it.

They're too beholden to them. I mean, I think Matt Walsh knows this firsthand. And these little darlings are really important to them. They are not going to let go of the trans radical ideology. They are not going to let Rachel Levine go into the night and be forgotten. This stuff matters to them. So we need that guy. We need the guy who stood by Brett Kavanaugh.

We need the guy who got up when shot. And so for me it was a no-brainer ultimately when asked, like, do I show up there and support him on his last night with the message in particular to women who might be getable for Donald Trump, but on the fence about him still and consider. considering, can I handle him for four more years? And I just felt like the second point is they'd been so overwhelmed. They'd been deluged with information about how, if you're a good woman, if you care about women's rights, there's only one clear choice and it's her.

And I felt like being somebody who is more, you know, middle of the road in her politics, I could speak to them. I could speak their language to convince them as to why there is only one clear choice and it's him, not her. Well, I'm glad that you were able to have that conversation. Obviously, Trump actually managed to pick up a few points with women in the election, which is sort of to everyone's great surprise. And I don't think you obviously played some role in that. And I think it's very brave of you to show your shoulders here now that the Reich has begun. Obviously, it's all handmade tales from now on. Megan, where's your bonnet? I don't see any bonnet on you. Megan, you know, I want to get your take on sort of the left's reaction to this. So last night we were having a discussion as this all emerged and we were experiencing. the sheer joy and wonder of the evening, as to how they were actually going to react as who they were going to blame. My suggestion, because as always, I was wise and brilliant, was that they would

blame the American people. And they promptly have been doing just that. And it feels like this election has finally loosed the fetters upon them. And they are now finally just going to say the thing they've always wanted to say about the American people, which is that we're a bunch of Roobes and Hicks and horrible people. And it's not about social media. It's not about the Russians. It's just about us. So it feels like they're just going deeper into the crevasse. I mean, we've had so many examples of that this morning. They, of course, have been railing about these damn Latinos who for years now they've been calling white adjacent as they express their conservatism. And so they've got to be written off because they are a minority group,

but it's not okay because they're not pro-democrat. And, you know, that can kick you out of the cool club and suddenly you're white adjacent. And that means, I guess you're going to get mocked on the view every day. Then speaking of the view, you had Sonny Hosten come out today and rail on these damn uneducated people who are to blame for her loss. They're uneducated. And of course, by that, what she means is non-college educated, which in her elite world, she went to Harvard. Her son's at Harvard.

You're dumb. Really? Pretty sure she went to Harvard. Yeah. No. Oh, God. I could be wrong. I'm lawful.

But her son is definitely at Harvard. And her daughter's probably there. And she's railing today about her daughters, how her daughter has less civil rights than she had. Why again? You live in New York. You can get an abortion one day before birth. I don't know what she's referring to, but she's deeply concerned about the civil rights of her child and our country.

And they are all multi-millionaires, including Sunny and her daughter. And they live in a state that looks like Mar-a-Lago. But she wants to go out there and cry like a victim, just like we saw from Michelle Obama and Beyonce and J-Lo and Oprah, who have been made billionaires in some cases from this country, but when we don't do what they say, we have to be berated for our racism, our sexism, our internalized misogyny. Take your pick.

I'm just glad that Michelle Obama will have exactly one single moment in her entire life when she was proud of this country. She can hold on to some. Megan... Well, I mean, the celebrity factor was so annoying throughout the whole thing. It didn't work for them. And they don't learn.

They did this with Hillary Clinton. You know, who on the Democratic side didn't stop to say, who is Trump doing well with? Oh, it's the working class across all races. Well, how can we reach them? Oh, I've got it. Taylor Swift, she's going to be able to rule in these white working class guys, these Hispanic guys who are feeling. Absolutely not. They didn't even try.

They're just so drunk on celebrity that they did the trick they always do. At least Taylor Swift is genuinely beloved and talented. I don't understand how we live in a time where Cardi B can be invited by the sitting vice president of the United States to address her supporters and give an endorsement. I mean, it's what does Cardi B famous for doing? All my hilarious responses are unspeakables. Yeah, I actually can't. She features English as a second language. She literally tweeted out something like, what does people?

taste like. And then she gets invited to go speak for her. I have a Kamala Harris joke here, but I cannot say it. Yeah, you can't say it. No, no, no. In the last, like, two days of the campaign, Kamala also had, I believe it was Jennifer Lopez, Christina Aguilera,

and the rapper Fat Joe, which are really powerful celebrity endorsements in the year 2002. And that's what she, that was kind of her closing, that was her closed, her closing argument. Well, that was what happened. Sorry, go on me. was out there like, I want to speak to Latinos and how terrible what they said about Puerto Rico was.

And going on it, meanwhile, that didn't move the needle at all. This is how out of touch they are. And I think about the Oprah. Remember the Oprah roundtable? I do wonder with Jaylo. I do wonder if people looked at her past judgments with men like P. Diddy, who she dated. And when maybe she makes bad decisions about men kind of generally, I mean, when you're just going through the white party list for your final reach out for the campaign, it feels not like a great thing. probably. Exactly right. I mean, not to mention, I don't like bringing people's kids into it,

but she's obviously got a kid who is having identity issues. She's got a step kid who's having identity issues. This is no accident. You know, they live in this world in which identity is everything. It gets prized. It gets pushed. They get social rewards for having said kids. They're conducting social experiments on their own children. Then they want to get out there and lecture us about the future of the country. And I'm so thrilled that America saw right through, this BS and not only did they see through it, it was definitely one of the issues that rose to the top of this campaign and it made people vote. Megan Kelly, thank you very much for spending some time with us on this joyous day.

By the way, did I promise I would take a drink? Yes. So is this the time to do that? I was going to say this. So I think people need to understand the last time I had whiskey, I literally don't remember. I'm not opposed to it. I love tobacco. I'm not with this whiskey.

Dennis, I would hate to make you drink alone. I understand. So what are you giving me so I can tell people what I had? A little Balvaney 12, double wood. Balvaney 12? Yeah, this is a very nice. Sounds like a shampoo to me. I don't understand.

I don't understand. You better than Valvania 11. All right, what a spare? Is it a scotch? What is it? No, no. Do you like drinking? Oh, you don't either?

We were going to save this. Yeah, for what? Well, let's let the people at home see this great moment from last night's show where we learned that Dennis had not had a drink in some of our lifetimes. Here's my vow, then. If Trump wins, I will drink anything you give me, which is more than I have drunk in 50 years. I love tobacco. I don't like alcohol. I will drink. You will raise a glass. It is no question about it. And so... Well, I'm really on tape here, yeah.

Okay, I give you... You're a man of your word. I am a man of my word. So what, I do know this question. What proof is it? It's about 600 proof, I think. You're a safe. That was cruel.

You'll find out soon enough. This is to make it masculine and official. We got to be it. That is a form of hair. Oh, I get an umbrella. That is cool. Chin chin, brass. Yes, that is correct. If I have to drink, it's with you guys.

I want to do it. All right. You don't drink? I do, but I'm not a sour. Not a dinner hour. Okay. By the way, do you all love this? I'm just curious.

I have no issue with that. Yeah. Okay. I basically don't drink. You too? I basically don't drink. But I'll have a drink. And I drink for the two of us, actually, so it balances out.

You take both classes. I do. I can't wait. for Dennis to start speaking in cursive during Kamala's speech? It's tasty. It is tasty. This is a letdown because the setup was you would drink anything

we hand to. Yeah. And we're a beautiful. Right. Oh, yeah. You're looking he did. Where his mind went is really. I mean, the man who exposes DEI. They are setting up. No, I'm not

joking. This, this it's tasty. We just got him off the wagon for the first time in day. Dennis is going to end up in a gutter now. I was going to say. So seriously, what is it known? Is it a scotch? Is it a what is it?

Single malt scotch? Single malt scotch. My son loves it. My father loved it. I am the black sheep in my family. Dennis, if you drink anymore, you'll be eligible to run for president as the vice president of Bides. I can't believe I'm enjoying it.

I can't believe it. And by the way, Dennis, you think your first glass is good? The third and fourth glass is the seventh is the best one. Yeah. They're over at Howard University right now. So the best is this with the cigar? Where's the story with the cigars? I put it in an order for cigars.

I don't know. There will be cigars. Okay. Listen, this is what happens. This is what happens when you want to surprise Dennis Prager with a little pink umbrella. I specifically told the team to have all this ready for after the concession speech. We're going to have a nice cigar. Oh, I blew it by mentioning.

You blew it. I mean, it's fine. I'm sorry. Well, you should have told me. That would help. I will say that while we did think of. about funny things to make you drink. There's nothing. I who do not drink. It's central. I'm not a teetotaler, but you can see teetotaling from where I am. But even I will say that on a day like today,

whiskey has never tasted better. Yes. That's right. Maybe that's a factor in why I'm liking it. In the celebratory. In the celebratory spirit, you might have noticed I'm wearing a sort of wide late 90s tie. That is because my mother gave me this tie. And I think about 2003, I'm not bragging or nothing. It is a part of the official Donald J. Trump tie collection. There you go. I don't know where she got it. It might have been at T.J. Max.

It might have been at Macy's. I don't know. I have had it in my closet for about 20 years. It's obviously held up very well, as has the president. And I figure if one does not wear the DJT tie today... Because I actually feel real vindicated about this whole thing. You know, there are many people... tolerate Trump. They say, I don't like his tweets or whatever, but I like his policy.

I like the guy, especially being a New Yorker. I like the guy. And so I've thought he's actually a pretty good candidate. And people say he's a terrible candidate, but, you know, he somehow makes it across. I thought he's a pretty good candidate. And then 2020 happened. And he said, okay, I don't know, maybe we'll see. The fact that this guy won the electoral college by a lot, that he won the popular vote, that he assembled this coalition that is, unlike a coalition that any Republican has done in my lifetime, at least, I think we have to conclude he's a good candidate. The guy, he did something.

He's a political genius. He's a political genius, and he makes nice times. It's just a weird form of genius, that's all. It's hard to, you know, I mean, geniuses do things that you've never seen before, and they break all the rules, and sometimes they get a audience. I don't think that 20, I don't believe that in 2016, Donald Trump did anything particularly spectacular. I think that Hillary Clinton did something spectacular. She failed spectacular.

Being a terrible candidate. Right, which is why he was, as I've said before, why he was able to win with fewer votes, say, in Wisconsin, than Mitt Romney lost Wisconsin with, right? But what you cannot deny is someone then coming back and winning not only an overwhelming majority in the electoral college, but also winning the popular vote. And what that tells you is that while what Trump did in 2016 may or may not have been spectacular, what he did in 2024 is a true feat of political. Indisputably.

Only the greatest politicians are able to. to accomplish what he just accomplished. I shouldn't say he's a political genius. He has a genius that he can look at something. He's like a guy who can look at the rubic cube of life and solve it. You know, he just does it. I've seen him do it again and again. And you can see him shift. Almost when he's talking, you can see him, you read the field and all this stuff, and he just figured it out. And I think, by the way, I just want to add this, throw this out there. I think it's going to be a great presidency. I think it's going to be the best second term we've ever seen because he has actually taken four years. God has arranged

it. So he's taken four years to learn what he needed, what he did wrong and what he's going to do. There's another thing to add there, which is in 2020, if he had won, he would have been settled to the Democratic Congress. In 2024, he has an overwhelmingly Republican Senate. The Republicans are going to take the House. He's actually going to have a majority that he can work with. And if you want more good news, because, you know, I bear glad, I bring glad hiding. Like that the, the electoral college, I've mentioned this before, that they screwed up the census in 2020. there are actual extra votes in the South that were not properly counted. I am calling right now on the Congress of the United States, the President of the United States to pass legislation that allows for the recapitulation of the census figures

sufficient so that in the 2028 election, those votes actually shift to the states where they belong, because that's where those votes belong, people being disenfranchised right now in Florida, people being disenfranchised right now in Texas because the count is not correct. And then in 2030, there's going to be another census. And if that census goes how people think that census is going to go, 12 electoral college votes are going to shift from blue states to deep red states. None of those are in the Rust Belt. That is all the state.

That's three to Florida. That's four to Texas. That's one to Arizona. That's one to Idaho. That's, I believe, one to Georgia. So what do you think? Wait, less in California. Yeah, coming from California.

Five fewer in California. Wow. Three fewer in New York. What do you think the Democrats are going to try to do about that? Because there's no way they can just sit in a lot. allow that to happen? So what's their move? I mean, I think they just lose, frankly. I mean, I don't, I think their move was the open border. Right. And I think that I think that they do not, here's the thing. I don't see what their next move is because the problem for them is that Donald

Trump occupied the other half of the agenda, right? So if their agenda was normally two things, right? One was the kind of woke racialist, intersectional crap. And then one of it was the sort of Bernie Sanders socialistic redistributionist stuff. The truth is that there's, that they're there's some crossover between the stuff that Trump has said about entitlements and where Bernie Sanders is on entitlements. Like the most robust arguments that have been used against Republicans in my lifetime on the financial stuff where Paul Ryan's shoving Granny off the cliff and all the rest of it. You can't use that on Trump and you're not going to be able to use it on vans because the Republican Party has basically said, all right, you guys want to ride across the cliff? Like, we can't stop you. So I guess that's the way it's going to go.

And with that off the table, by the way, abortion is off the table too. I'm pointing this out right now. Abortion is a live issue in this election. It will not be a live issue in 2028. And the reason it will not be a live issue in 2028 is every state will have already picked the abortion regime that it actually wants. And the Supreme Court will have already spoken by 2028 and said there cannot be widespread federal legislation on abortion, which means it will be relegated back to the states. And by the way, you saw some of this last night, right? So for example, Missouri did pass a referendum.

That was a pro-abortion referendum in Missouri. And Missouri went by 10 points to Donald Trump. So people are already shifting away from thinking of their congressperson, senators, and presidents as people with a fundamental task on abortion. They're thinking of their governors and their state legislatures as the people with the fundamental task on abortion. So you take abortion away from the Democrats on the federal level. You take entitlements away from Democrats on the federal level. What precisely do they have? Higher taxes and weak foreign policy and an open border?

What's the agenda? Those are like the three least popular items. I don't understand what you're missing about joy, brat, and vibes. You know, another thing, if Trump had won in 2020, he still would have had COVID, and they still would have had COVID to beat him up with. Yeah. You know, still this, it was right in the middle. And he would have had to deal with inflation that was being put, it was spending that was being pushed by Democrats, but Republicans led it through or didn't

have the strength of it. Although Biden amped it up. Biden amped it up with the inflation reduction. Increased inflation, of course. My favorite name, yeah. But he would have been dealing with a lot of economic challenges. Yeah. Well, part of the grace that's, obviously the country received enormous mercy from God here,

but so, so did Donald Trump. Because Donald Trump deserves a lot of blame. for what happened in 2020. You know, COVID isn't just a thing that happened to Donald Trump, although certainly it was weaponized against Donald Trump by not just the domestic left, but I think even the global left. But also the worst aspects of Donald Trump's presidency were his handling of COVID. And in a way, God spared him from having to be the one who paid the immediate price

for those policies that he allowed to happen. I mean, he surrendered the country to Anthony Fauci for months and months and months. You know, although you're right, I think you're too hard on it. since every other Western leader did the same thing, except Sweden, eventually. But I don't think this is fair. I think that we should hold Donald Trump to a high standard. I don't think we should hold him to no standard. Donald Trump, hold on, Donald Trump doesn't purport to be like every other Western leader. He purports to be the one of one, the wrecking ball, the guy who can't be pushed around,

the guy who sees through the bull crap, the guy who doesn't buy the conspiracies. And I would further say that when we point to the way that the global Western leaders responded to COVID, I believe that a large portion of what originally inspired their response was attempting to defeat Donald Trump, meaning that I even think that the heads of states of other nations were engaged in some level in a try to defeat Donald Trump because he had made them all crazy. And when Donald Trump gave his, we're going to reopen on Easter Sunday speech, which was basically America will rise again on the day that Christ rose. It was one of the great speeches, I believe, in American presidential history, had he done it, I would have voted four times for

him. No, I agree with you about that. He didn't. I agree with you. I don't think he handled it well. I'm not sure. Again, I just think you're being too hard on him. There was this thing. You know, who would you listen to if a plague came through? Literally last night, though, we were saying that maybe he shouldn't have gone to war in Afghanistan when literally any president of the United States left, right center, RFK Jr., Ron Paul would have bombed Afghanistan over 9-11. Not Ron Paul, but all the other ones. First, I agree that Trump did the wrong thing.

But also, George W. Bush had a freedom agenda for the Middle East, which was a big mistake. George W. Bush developed a freedom agenda for the, for the Middle East after 9-11 and the realization that we had to go to war in Afghanistan. That's what I'm saying. But anyone would have gone to war in Afghanistan.

Hold on. Donald Trump would go to war in Afghanistan if they knocked down the 20 towers on that. I think that you're arguing past each other just a little bit. in the sense that whether it's not a matter of blame. The reality is that bad decisions were made during 2020 by President Trump, decisions that none of us liked. He got a reprieve by the American people. The American people, we're giving Donald Trump a lot of credit,

and he deserves an enormous amount of credit, right? I mean, I really think that, I mean, I read the famous Teddy Roosevelt quote on the air today about the man in the arena, right? I mean, that really is Donald Trump. He deserves an enormous amount of credit. The people who deserve the credit are the people who voted for Donald Trump. The people who showed up in droves to vote for Donald Trump. Trump because they rejected all the things that they were being told about themselves and about their

country. Now, there are a lot of people, I mentioned this before, but Sam Harris and I had this conversation about Trump versus Kamala. And he was saying, ah, on character grounds, don't you care about the character of the president? And said, you know what I really care about? I care about the character of the American people. And I care less about the character of the President of the United States. What I want from the President of the United States to fix the toilet. I care a lot about the character of the American people. And it says something deep and abidingly true about the character of the American people. They were willing to stand up in the face of a tsunami of lies about Donald Trump, a blizzard

of lies, unlike anything I've ever seen in my lifetime, the last month of this campaign alone, was just lie after lie after. A tsunami of lies, you don't even need to add about Donald Trump. They stood up against the tsunami of lies. This is what I am convinced that they're charged that Trump always lies and the Washington Post, which is almost defunct, listed 2,000 lies, allegedly. but name one lie of Donald Trump that compares to the Russian collusion with the Trump campaign lie. Name one that compares to men give birth.

The list of lies from the left is so in our 51 heads of intelligence said that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation. By the way, many of those were actively in the right. in the government. Yes. Which is treason. But this is sort of why, I totally see your point, Ben, that, you know, in answer to a Sam Harris of the world, you can say, look, I don't really care about the politicians as individuals. I care about what they represent, the people who support them. But I also think we don't have to concede the point. Donald Trump has much better character than Kamala Harris and then Joe Biden. That's right. And then any of these Democrats, that's correct. I agree with that. But the point that I was making is, because I'm trying to argue in that case, to the median voter who's looking at this and may have problems with how Donald Trump acts. in the public stage.

Yeah. But, I mean, I started that little, that little speech right there by saying that he is the man in the arena. Yeah. Okay. The thing is, as I said yesterday, I'll go back to it. The best biblical, the best biblical analog to Donald Trump is not King David. It is Noah.

He is a man for the time. He is a complete man. That's great. He's Tadig Tamim Bedorotab, right? Like, in his generation, he is a complete person in his generation. Okay. It's a flood generation. In a flood generation, you need a man who builds an arc.

Donald Trump is a man who builds the ark, and then the flood waters recede. And then he goes out. And guess what? If you read the story of Noah, he does some pretty bad crap right after that. But the reality is, he was Ishtadik, Tamim complete, Hayabidoro Tab, right? In his generation, he's built for, this is a time built for Donald Trump. Donald Trump is a man built for his time. And it's times that make great leaders, okay?

Abraham Lincoln in 1830 is not a great leader. And Winston Churchill, in 1920, is not a great leader. I mean, he's out of government by 1920. And Beeb-Nittanyahu, five years ago, is, you know, in trouble. And now he's a man for his, like, great leaders are made by the time in which they live. And this time demanded Donald Trump, and Donald Trump rose to be the man for that time. We're moments away from Vice President Kamala Harris walking out to hopefully speed us some delicious leftist tears. In the meantime, we have Daily Wire's very own Spencer Lindquist at Howard University,

where the vice president is about to speak. Spencer, how are things going over there? Oh, that's right. So last night in the early hours of the night, it was very optimistic. There was music pumping. People were excited. And we saw that start to die down, especially when North Carolina was called for Trump. Tonight really is nothing like last night in those early hours. The crowd is probably halved, maybe I'd say 30 or 40 percent of the people that were here last night are now here. We've got shots of virtually empty bleachers. And I'm seeing very sad faces, people giving each other hugs and just patiently waiting for Harris to take care. the stage. So have anything burned down yet? I mean, that's the real question. When do they start burning stuff? Are they, have they been so neutered by President Trump, who has saved all the dogs

and the cats in Springfield, by the way? Have they been so neutered that it is no longer possible for them to, for them to riot? You know, we haven't seen any violence, any, really even any protesting. Last night afterwards, we went over to the White House to see if there would be people gathering outside, if there'd be protesters, if there'd be rioters,

and there was really nothing. It was basically dead quiet. And, you know, maybe they've just tired themselves out after a decade of going up against this man, who, of course, has just been bouncing back from everything that they've laid against him. Spencer, do you know when Kate McKinnon plans to croak out a whining dirge of Leonard Cohen's? Maya Rudolph. Myrudo. It's here. It's My Rudolph. It's got him your right. You're right. Oh, well, that'll be better then. My Rudolph, she's pretty good, actually. You know, that'll be. I guess this Saturday is the answer. It's a real talent.

Yeah. Any predictions on what she'll say? Spencer, have you heard anything there? You know, we've talked to a couple people, and really, you know, kind of the question that's on my mind is why people are actually coming back because last night, you know, when that co-chair came out,

the co-chair of the campaign, the co-chair came out and said she's not going to be addressing you tonight. You've got to wait until tomorrow. And by that point, we were already pretty certain on the outcome. A lot of people made the decision to just not come back out. Some people came here. You know, it is a historical moment without a doubt. So some people are just here really to win the history.

It's definitely historic that Donald Trump is defeating, vanquishing his second female opponent for president. His new name is the Glass Seling. That was the New York Times theory. Donald Trump. That was their biggest single theory that it was a woman. Yeah. Remember I asked last night, what are they going to say? Yeah. So now they're blaming it on misogyny.

Sure. No, that makes perfect sense. That's why he got a two-point bounce among women. Women know what that. Those voters. Self-eating women, they were. I'm sorry, Spencer, I cut you off to make a joke. That's just how we do it around here.

Are people starting to take down their boards around the D.C. area? You know, the D.C. area right now, I mean, we were out kind of just walking the streets earlier, and it's pretty quiet. This is a D-plus. I mean, it's 80 or 90 percent Democrat really within the district. itself. So the mood is somber, even just on the streets of DC, but of course, specifically here in this party, it is especially somber. And I'm seeing people kind of, I saw one group sitting in a circle, kind of commiserating, and talking about what the next four years look like. Of course, those were all Harris supporters, and they were there kind of reassuring each other,

hugging each other. It looked like a little bit of a, you know, a therapy circle almost. I imagine we're going to see more of that. Is he here? Is he here? Spencer, has he, has Has anyone seen you smiling? I think a couple people have caught me. I went up to go up and interview a few people. They saw the grin. Laugh in their face. Hit it on camera.

Spencer Lindquist, thanks for being with us. If you insist. From Howard University, where Vice President Kamala Harris is expected to take the stage any moment to give her concession. Can I say one thing about the speech? She does have the opportunity to actually give an important speech, and she could actually say some things that, you know, to in some way, if not unify the country, at least assure her supporters that this guy is not actually Hitler.

Man, I have a question. It's not going to happen. It will not happen in a thousand years. I'm just pointing out that, like, this doesn't have to be a totally useless speech. She could do something. It could be, if she had any integrity at all, she could actually help the country with this speech, but she won't. Why deal with counterfactuals?

Totally throw Joe Biden under the bus. That would be entertaining. I mean, I think instead of saying what she should say, let's say what we're rooting for her to say. So what I'm rooting for her to say is for her to come out and be like, listen, we all knew old Joe had to go in 2022. And he didn't go in 2022. Instead, he stuck around. Then he stuck me with his bag. And I had to somehow run this thing across the finish line.

Don't blame me. Don't blame me. It wasn't me. It was Joe. And then somebody's going to have to come drag Doug Mhoff off the stage before. He spots a nanny. Wait, you think they're so married? I think Doug Emhoff is the happiest man in America today. I think the idea that he wanted to be first gentleman is ridiculous on its face.

Like, that is it. That is a dude. Given his personal history, that is somebody who's very happy to be going back to Beverly Hills. Yes, yes. Isn't the only thing that she can blame, just the Don Corleone lament, if only we had more time? Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Yeah. You have to understand it was a last-minute thing, and we did the best we could for that, right? Because then it doesn't offend anybody. She doesn't have to take responsibility. It is plausible. I mean, it was absurd that they swapped out their nominee at the last minute. Well, you know, what I'm looking forward to is her next run.

That's really what I'm looking for. I think Kamala Harris 4.0 will be so much better than Kamala Harris 3.0 ever was. Yes. I mean, each upgrade has been treated with just rapturous joy by media. So I'm really, I can't imagine. It's at the iPhone 16, just a new reissue that's just going to get better. Every single update. The reason she gets better.

There is a way forward, to Matt's point, really, where the cooler heads and the Democrat parties start to seize back the party from the radicals. Only rhetorically. It will be pure rhetoric. Well, they always govern too far to the left. Okay, just that's very important that everyone know that. They will veer toward the center.

You know, we really overdid it on X, Y, and Z. And then as soon as they have power, they will go back to X, Y, and Z. Yeah, that's exactly right. That's probably true. So here's a question. from a DailyWire member, if you're not a member, please consider joining us at dailywire.com slash subscribe. If you use promo code Trump, you get 47% off because he is,

the 47th president, and our members make it possible for us to do the work that we do. Is there any concern that the left won't give up power come January? No. I've not in my mind, no. They just got clobber. If it were close, then maybe, but they just got totally cream. That's going to be fun, though. Kamala gets to preside over the certification. Yeah. The great loser, a, one of the One of the great losers is the New York Times. Oh. This is really important that people understand this.

The New York Times is no longer, I was telling Ben earlier, I will never use the term mainstream media again. It is just left-wing media. They are the outliers. We are now much more mainstream. Yeah. Prager You, Daily Wire, all the, you know, Megan Kelly, Joe Rogan. I mean, the whole gang. We are now mainstream.

They are left-wing. media. The only people that read the New York Times are leftists. It is a fact, it's, it is, that is it. They have, the New York Times now realizes, to some extent, I don't think fully, they have no influence on the country, none. To say to the average American, you know, the New York Times said, you might as well say, well, Harvard said. Yeah. Right. Slate. It is, it is a tragedy because, A, the New York Times is the best digital media company in the world, which is an amazing thing to say. Four years ago, they weren't a digital media company at all. It's one of, they are Blockbuster who became Netflix. It's the greatest transformation I've ever seen of a company, maybe in, maybe in history.

The other reason it's tragic is they still do the best journalism of any publication in the world. It's no one on the right can yet field a fraction of the actual investigative journalistic power that can be fielded by the New York Times. We can't fill the fraction of the Washington Post. We can't field a fraction of the Wall Street Journal. And so to see that, well, just those three that I just named, they control something like 80% of all the actual investigative firepower in the country. It is a real loss to the country that those institutions,

which were always of the left, have become leftist, which is different. They've become instruments of the Democrat part. By the way, just if you're talking, though, about, raw news. I know I read one of the only newspapers I read every day. By the way, I do read the New York Times

physical edition, not just digital every day, just for the record. But that's just to know what the left is saying, not to really learn about the world. The Telegraph in Britain, that is a magnificent newspaper. The Epoch Times is a magnificent newspaper, in my

opinion. The National Post in Canada. I mean, they They're not, they don't have the money to have reporters in Rwanda. Yeah. But, but there are new sources worthy of noting. But it is, it is true. You're absolutely right that they have all that firepower.

But they have been, becomes kind of porn. I mean, I was thinking about this morning that they really have been relegated to porn. By the way, the Daily Wire, you guys have a lot of news. Yeah. I mean, I don't want to, I go to you for news. Yeah. But we don't have the reporter. The other thing is that what they realized is that as their margins began to shrink,

they became fan service. And the most ardent fans were left-wingers, and so they just kept doubling down on their fan service. Audience capture is... It's a vicious circle. Audience capture is one of the truly pernicious phenomena of the digital age. I mean, and you can tell because I think the only person at the New York Times who voted for Trump in all likelihood is Ross Duthat, right? I mean, Ross is the only one.

Right, right, right. considered that. At the Washington Post, there's literally no one. Right. The Washington Post, I think that now that Hugh Hewitt stepped away, right? Right. Now that Hugh quit. There's literally no one there. Wait, Hugh quit. I hadn't heard that. Yeah. I get. It's fantastic. But since, so every major newspaper, the biggest newspapers in the country, don't have anyone who's even writing for their editorial page who can even say that they voted for a person the majority of Americans voted for. In the last election cycle. At the New York Times, the conservatives who do, who are, who are, to contribute to the editorial section, all voted for Kamala.

Other than Ross Dap. Right. But he's truly, he's the one. Well, first of all, you say all. It's three. It's three. Yeah. And I still don't know, I don't know, I know what's conservative about Brett Stevens. Obviously, Ross doubt that. But what is conservative about David French? Well, I think that David French is still committed to most of the same values that he was committed to. Does it come through in his column? I don't think he is. Well, no. There's no evidence. Ten years ago, he was a libertarian. And that's why he gets the credit today. Because he is so outraged by Donald Trump that he's willing to side against the people who want to advance the things that he writes in favor of. He doesn't sound like that.

He's abandoned our values out of hatred of Trump. Yeah. That's called derangement. Well, that is true. Well, certainly I think it's a, it is derangement. No question about it. I don't think that it's the same as him being a leftist. It is correct.

Correct. Correct. The practical effect is the same. Yes, that's, well, that's all that matters. The practical effect is. That's right. He's become a quizzling for the leftist. in a bizarre belief that if he does so, eventually a right that he approves of will emerge. That's right. That's the problem. Today I was on Pierce Morgan's show with Joe Walsh, who was a right-wing radio host and congressman

who then, I think he ran for president, but he just supports Democrats now. And he said, we were arguing about something. He said, but Michael, you don't understand. I'm a Republican. I'm not a Democrat. And I thought, you know, I actually kind of like the guy, but I thought, man, you can't, I think you get like three election cycles. If you don't vote for a Republican, you're out, okay? And it is true that their derangement causes them to also not support any other Republicans. So when you have, listen, I said last night I think Jonah Goldberg is one of the greatest writers in the country. And yet he can't even support a Ronda said.

They can't even just support a Ronda Santis. Because Trump has made them so mad that anything that isn't like Jeb Bush, they're going to oppose. It's completely self-inflicted wounds because they, I had, Jonah Goldberg did a video for Prager U. Joe. I think liberal fascism is one of the most important books of the last 50 years. And he has rendered himself less important. I don't know. That's why the arrangement is not an invalid word. Because I think that one of the things that's been, it is happening on a lot of sides of the aisle is we now have gotten to the point in American life, where if people don't vote the way you want, you're disappointed in the people.

and you can't function in democracy where you're constantly disappointed with the people makes it very difficult to actually believe in the country when you're constantly disappointed. But Ben, what's the Minkin quote? Democracy is the theory that the common people deserve. You know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard. And that's true. But it also means that you have to have fate that eventually they're going to make some good decisions and that if they make a decision that you don't like, maybe there were some decent reasons.

Especially to be disappointed to have these common, that are disappointed in the people, well, your whole job, our whole job is to convince the people. That's what we do for a living. And so if the people aren't agreeing with you, then you could be disappointed in them or you can be disappointed in yourself. You didn't make the case. That is absolutely true. And it's the people's country. Ultimately, they get to choose how they want to live. This is exactly, though, my point last night. If I didn't want Donald Trump to be the nominee, I didn't vote for him in the primary. That's what primaries are for. The majority of Republican primary voters disagreed with me, they win. Now Donald Trump is the nominee. The question before me isn't who,

the question before me in November of 2024 isn't, who would I like to see be the Republican nominee for president? That is, that question is settled. Yes. There is one. Perfect. That's right. And, you know, on this point of people kind of coming together, the Republicans did unify here in the general, and the election was conducted efficiently and with sufficient margin that, hey, we found out on election. I remember when we used to do that. And so I think it gave people, and this actually is important for the Democrats, even if they won't admit it now, it gave people a confidence that the system still holds and that the people's choices are still reflected. It's another reason it's a big evening. Yeah. I mean, I'd said before the election that the worst case scenario, the worst case was Kamala

narrow, right? That if I had to have like order of what was good for the country, Trump big, Trump big, Kamala big, Kamala narrow. If you're looking at things that are, because the worst case scenario that would have been terrible for the country is Kamala sneaking it out at 3 a.m. by a margin of two votes in Wisconsin. It's been awful for the country at every possible level. So we got the best possible scenario because God has shined upon this country once again. But, you know, it is a very good thing. That's why I think you're not seeing because it was a clear-cut victory.

That's right. I think that that is a good thing. And again, Democrats are going to have to go back to the drawing board and they're going to have to think to themselves about what they have done wrong. You're going to have to go back to the corner. You're going to have to read to your homework. You're going to have to figure out exactly what it was that went wrong. Because if you think about Barack Obama as a singular figure who was elected for a host of reasons that really had very little to do with his policy, which is actually what he was. He was a singular figure figure in himself. He's a great speaker. Obviously, his personal characteristics, his race, all of that kind of stuff. The last successful national democratic politician truly successful is Bill Clinton, who today would be characterized as a moderate Republican by his agenda. How do you run on a left wing agenda that the American people do not like without the signal power of a Barack Obama. And so the question is, they're either going to have to find another cult figure, which is what Obama was. They're going to find a celebrity cult figure like Barack Obama, or they're going to have to start reexamining the agenda of, say, James Carville and Bill Clinton and maybe start

looking at the Blue Dog Democrats once again. I think that that's right. And I think that they're actually, look, the only sane reaction to a defeat like this is to say, where have we gone wrong? And if you come up with the idea that it's messaging, which is what they usually do, then you're never going to get anywhere because that's what Dennis was saying before. That's right. Thank you. That's exactly it. It's just going to be a rhetorical change.

They, they, they, they're, I can't think of a single major left-wing figure who will say, gee, maybe I really am wrong on, on a person being able to change sex. They're in there in the rank and file. It's inconceivable to me. They're in there in the rank and file. They're actually some of them in there. in the media. The question is whether they can yank back the party from. Who's they? The people who are going to be sane about this do exist on the left. Can you name a name? I'm not, no, I'm not giving you a hard time. I can't think of anyone.

So believe it or not, in the gender issue, Van Jones. So actually, there are Democrats of color are more likely to be the people who yank them back on those issues than the white Democrats. The white Democrats are the nudges of the Democrats. Or even Don Lemon when he's being candid. He also tends to track a little more toward the middle when he's not being pushing. By CNN. Cuomo now, Chris Cuomo. Chris Cuomo, yeah. Will any of them say, you know, maybe America was not founded in 1619?

I'm not kidding. That's a biggie. That's as big as men give birth. America was founded in 60. I was giving you the list of lies. There's an enormous one. That's right. Well, here's an idea.

What if we just keep beating them until they do learn the lesson? Michael, here's a question from a dailywire.com subscriber. Again, if you're not a subscriber, dailywire.com slash subscribe for 47% off. promo code Trump. Will the truth of all the corruption finally come out now? Will leftists see the lies that they swallowed? There are people in our lives that bought all the lies and they still think we're the bad guys. Will they be able to see the truth once Trump takes office? No. Those are two separate questions. The first, will all the corruption come out? No, everyone is broadly aware of the great corruption in our government and our culture. Both sides of the aisle are aware of it and they disagree a little bit over the nature of it. But they're aware of it. And some of that will come out. Trump will cleanhouse to as great a degree as he can in the federal bureaucracy in particular,

and that will be difficult and it will be unsatisfying, but I think he can get somewhere. In terms of will Democrats see the error of their ways, no, I don't think so. I think it's going to take them a little while longer to do that because they've really bought in and they've accepted their views not so much as a matter of practical political conciliation or, you know, just, you know, resignation, but rather as a matter of deep religious faith. And so they- I want to know in light of what you're saying.

I'm waiting to see the left-wing source because it was almost universal that says, wow, America elected Hitler. Why don't they own up to the staggering horror of calling him Hitler? So say,

the New Republic had a picture of Hitler in the face of Donald Trump. Will the New Republic now say, America elected Hitler? And if they think that, Why are they staying? Jews started to leave Germany when Hitler was elected. Well, Richard Deere did say that he's going to Spain.

We have Tim Walls, governor of Minnesota now entering the arena here. A giant. This is another giant among them. Weirdly, he still looks happy and no one knows why. Now, he's just kind of being weird. I do want to say, Dennis, you're a very large, perhaps the largest on-earth Jewish man. How many times have you been to Israel in your life? 25. Yeah. Tim Walz, Israel is an American ally. It's the ancestral homeland of your people. It's the center of your religion. And Tim Walz has been 30 times to China, a country with a country that is not his ancestral homeland. That is not the central homeland. That is not the center of his religion. And that currently has hundreds of nuclear weapons pointed at us.

We've been engaged in a Cold War for 50 years. Yeah, that's pretty devastating. It's a remarkable fact, she's coming out. Vice President Kamala Harris, walking to the podium. We'll rejoin you as soon as the vice president's remarks. Joy, cometh in the morning. Here we go. Are concluded.

I wrote a little song to remind you, Choice Hotels gets you more of the experiences you value. The Can Beah Hotels got it all. A rooftop ball. Have a ball. Bring a date, your squad, or even your mom. Book direct at Choiceotels.com. Good afternoon, everyone.

Good afternoon. Good afternoon. Good afternoon. Thank you all. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. So let me say, and I love you back.

And I love you back. So let me say, my heart is full today. My heart is full today. full of gratitude for the trust you have placed in me, full of love for our country, and full of resolve. The outcome of this election is not what we wanted, not what we fought for, not what we voted for,

but hear me when I say, hear me when I say, the light of America, America's promise will always burn bright as long as we never give up and as long as we keep fighting. To my beloved Doug and our family, I love you so very much, to President Biden and Dr. Biden, thank you for your faith and support. To Governor Walls and the Walls family, I know your service to our nation will continue. and to my extraordinary team, to the volunteers who gave so much of themselves,

to the poll workers and the local election officials, I thank you, I thank you all. Look, I am so proud of the race we ran, and the way we ran it. And the way we ran it, over the 107 days of this campaign, we have been intentional about building community and building coalitions, bringing people together from every walk of life and background, united by love of country with enthusiasm and joy in our fight for America's future. And we did it with the knowledge that we all have so much more in common than what separates us.

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 that we will help him and his team with their transition. and that we will engage in a peaceful transfer of power. 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.

pain. The fight, the fight for freedom, for opportunity, for fairness, and the dignity of all people. A fight for the ideals at the heart of our nation, the ideals that reflect America at our best. That is a fight. I will never give up. I will never give up the fight for a future where Americans can pursue their dreams, ambitions, and aspirations, where the women of America have the freedom to make decisions about their own body and not have their government telling them what to do. We will never give up the fight to protect our schools and our streets from gun violence. And America, we will never give up the fight.

for our democracy, for the rule of law, for equal justice, and for the sacred idea that every one of us, no matter who we are or where we start out, has certain fundamental rights and freedoms that must be respected and upheld. And we will continue to wage this fight in the voting booth, in the courts, and in the public. square and we will also wage it in quieter ways in how we live our lives by treating one another with kindness and respect by looking in the face of a stranger and seeing a neighbor by always using our strength to lift people up to fight for the the dignity that all people deserve. The fight for our freedom will take hard work, but like I always

say, we like hard work. Hard work is good work. Hard work can be joyful work. And the fight for our country is always worth it. It is always worth it. To the young people who are watching, I love you. To the young people who are watching, it is okay to feel sad and disappointed. But please know it's going to be okay. On the campaign, I would often say, when we fight, we win. But here's the thing, here's the thing. Sometimes the fight takes a while.

That doesn't mean we won't win. That doesn't mean we won't win. The important thing is don't ever give up. Don't ever give up. Don't ever stop trying to make the world a better place. You have power. You have power. And don't you ever listen when anyone tells you something is impossible

because it has never been done before. You have the capacity to do extraordinary, good in the world. And so to everyone who is watching, do not despair. This is not a time to throw up our hands. This is a time to roll up our sleeves. This is a time to organize, to mobilize, and to stay engaged for the sake of freedom and justice and the future that we all know we can build together. Look, many of you know, I started out as a prosecutor and throughout my career, I saw people at some of the worst times in their lives, people who had suffered great harm and great pain. And yet, found within themselves the strength and the courage and the resolve

to take the stand, to take a stand. to fight for justice, to fight for themselves, to fight for others. So let their courage be our inspiration. Let their determination be our charge. And I'll close with this. There's an adage and historian once called a law of history. true of every society across the ages. The adage is, only when it is dark enough, can you see the stars.

I know many people feel like we are entering a dark time, but for the benefit of us all, I hope that is not the case. But here's the thing, America, if it is, let us fill the sky. with the light of a brilliant, brilliant billion of stars, the light of optimism, of faith, of truth and service. A. You made that work guide us, even in the face of setbacks, toward the extraordinary promise of the United States of America. I thank you all.

May God bless you, and may God bless the United States of America. I thank you all. That is Kamala Harris Vice President of the United States. She's just given her concession address. She is headed out, and lady, don't let the door hit you for the good Lord's flitcher. I got to say, she was a little more naturalistic than usual.

Obviously, she's a permanent resident of the uncanny valley. She can only take short trips outside the Uncanny Valley. She seemed to make it almost to the border of the Uncanny Valley that time. But unfortunately, she was then dragged screaming back to the center of the Uncanny Valley for the finale of the speech where she talked about how there would be a billion points of light, not just a thousand, a billion, a billion, yeah, maybe perhaps a trillion, perhaps a trillion trillion, so many points of light because, you know, when it gets real dark, you can see the stars outside.

And that means that now that it's really dark, you can be a star too, just like J-Lo, or something. here's the thing about Kamala Harris. She was a big nothing burger. Her candidacy was a big nothing burger. She has always been a big nothing burger. And that little concession speech was also a big nothing burger. So there are a few things she could have said that would have been useful. Like for example, you remember that time? I said that my opponent's Hitler. Yeah, you're going to be fine. She said you're going to be fine. But it's very hard to square that with my opponent is Hitler and you need to vote to stop him. And everyone around him is also Hitlerian. That's a very difficult

thing to square. It is very difficult to square all the things that she said on the campaign trail about the threats to America. There will be giant internment camps to what Democrats were saying, that every woman in America was going to be put under the gun, that essentially all rights would be stripped from you

with the sort of inspirational rhetoric she was using right there. And here's the thing. If she had campaigned as this, Kamala Harris, maybe she would have had a better shot. If she hadn't tried the scare tactic of claiming that Donald Trump

was Hitler with seven mustaches and more orange, if she hadn't tried that, maybe people would have taken her more seriously, or maybe they wouldn't, because it turns out that was just a bunch of platitude nonsense. Again, in the end, the thing about Kamala Harris is nothing because she is nothing.

She's a stand-in for a party machine. That speech could have been given by 1,000 different Democrats, nay, a billion stars of Democrats. It could have been any Democrat in the United States who gave that list of platitudes and bumper stickers that mean absolutely nothing when ripped out of any sort of context or any sort of meaning. And because that is the case, what you have to do is look behind the facade that is Kamala Harris at the Democratic Party. And that's the reason she lost. Honestly, I would feel bad for her if I thought that she actually were a real human being. But the fact that she is an NPC and that she effectively is just a stand-in for a party, don't feel bad for the party that she represents because that party is lying to you.

They put up these platitudes and these bumper stickers. See, you don't look through the veil. They don't want you to see the actual policies they pursue. This lady who says that she was a prosecutor, this same person suggested on a questionnaire from the ACLU that taxpayers should fund the transition of illegal immigrants. prisoners. This same person who is talking about be friendly to the stranger who you just meet on the street. That same person was personally attempting to bail rioters out of prison during the George Floyd riots in Minneapolis. The same person who is telling you that young people, you ought to have

hope in the future, was also telling young people that they effectively don't have any hope in the future unless they're having their student loan debt relieved by the grace of government. The agenda does not match the rhetoric. It never match the rhetoric. The rhetoric is completely empty because Kamala Harris is completely empty, and that's why she deserved to lose. It's why no one, I noticed that for all the talk in the media about how she was brat and Joy and a wonderful candidate, Joy reads that she ran a flawless, flawless campaign. That for all of that, ain't nobody talking about her running again in 2028. Weird.

If she's that great a candidate, they should be talking about that. Nobody's talking about that. So I think we can all bid a fond farewell to Kamala Harris from the public scene. We can bid a fond farewell to Tim Walz, who will be as memorable as Tim Cain, meaning that in about six months time, you won't remember who he is, except he sort of reminded one of Don Rickles in some sort of bizarre way. It's crossed between Don Rickles and Gumby. And that's going to be the last you hear of Kamala Harris. So once again, goodbye to Kamala Harris, raise a glass at your exit. Can I say I'm disappointed that she did not announce her re-election bid during that speech.

That's what I was hoping for out of the speech, and we didn't get it. But maybe they'll run, like they're just running progressively more unpleasant. women with each election. So we'll see what they do next time. You know, she did a relatively good job on the speech, but I think she did a good job because it's relatively easy for her to be gracious as she had no business being the nominee in the first place. She didn't really work for it. She's already made it so much further in politics than she ever deserved. So for her, I guess she can think, all right, well, you know,

on this fluke, I almost became president. I made it to be VP when I really had no business doing that. And, okay, now it's over. Troy cometh in the morning. It's not just the bizarre policies that those speeches cover up. It's the open, the central policies, things like price controls, which is a Soviet idea, the taxing the money that you've made on your house but haven't realized yet, which is pure robbery, the misinformation idea that they're going to, they are going to decide what misinformation is, the government is going to decide. Those are central ideas to the Democrat Party, and they're completely anti-American and unconstitutional. And it's, you know, we pick on these things, and we should, we pick on these things like, you know, funding trans operations for people in federal prison.

But their open policies, their central policies are absolutely disastrous. So I agree that the election was a repudiation of leftism, which is basically Matt's point at the top of the show. And I agree with Ben that in many ways, Kamala wasn't even a person running for president so much as she was a position, you know, she occupied a space on behalf of, the machine itself. They needed something that looked approximately like a human to carry forth their ideas. But people do matter in politics and had the person we just watched for the last 12 or 15 minutes run for president the last 120 days, it's not clear to me that Donald Trump would have emerged victorious because even though the speech was, even though the speech, I'm with you in the world. I know that you guys granted Donald Trump immense superpowers and hold, but that person

we just watched on stage was credible. Yes, the speech was platitudinist. Yes, it said nothing, but the American people don't always, I mean, they flip wildly between election and election on different policies. I have never seen the person who just stood that podium. I, as a follower of American politics, much more closely than most one might say, I've never even met the person who just walked out to that podium. She gave a cogent speech. She gave an articulate speech. She gave a speech that sounded very human. She gave a gracious speech. She gave a gracious speech. gave a speech that had had a sort of political rabble-rousing kind of spirit but didn't actually say anything particularly divisive or particularly offensive. I mean, certainly her volume

dealer either died last night, ran out of stock. I don't know. But that person we've never seen before and that person might have made a run. It's true in a lot of concession speeches. A lot of people give their best speeches in concession because the pressure's off and it's all over. And I don't grant Donald Trump's superpowers, but he did get shot in the head and fight I think, you know, just saying, just saying. Listen, I voted for Donald Trump. I think Donald Trump does a lot of good things. I become the most anti-Trump that I ever am when I'm sitting here hearing of all the supernatural elements of Donald Trump. He walked on, he once walked on water. The thing is, the reason that that wouldn't have worked is because at the beginning, she kind of tried it, and it's not sustainable. No. It's not sustainable. She is, she is,

as opaque as a pane of glass. She is, you, you, you can see right through her. Yeah. You can see, right through her. You can see all the gears moving. You can see all the tricks that are being played. You can see the agenda that's behind it. And so this whole attempt to portray herself as a sort of, you know, just family woman who cares about the normie life, that doesn't work for more than five seconds at a time. And the minute that you think about it, it really, really doesn't work. And so, you know, again, I think it's sort of offensive when people play act at it. You know, normality is actually my life. My culture is not your costume. Yeah. My culture being in warming is not your costume.

You know, the one where I'm married and I have four kids and I live in a stable household and I have a stable community and I go a job and I come home from a job and I take care of my kids. Like, that's my normie life and I like my normie life. Don't pretend that you're a member of my normie community while you're out partying a drag queen story hour with your weird old, with your weird husband Doug. Like, come on. In fact, to offer up something actually kind about Donald Trump, I actually think that part of his unique charm is that he never plays like a normie. So when he goes to drive the garbage truck, he doesn't take. take off his $3,000 shirt and tie. When he goes to work at McDonald's, when he goes to work at McDonald's, he is the famous,

wealthy, self-aware, self-deprecating billionaire serving you French fries. It's not, he doesn't put on the costume of normalcy. No. He's not saying, I'm one of you. He's saying, I am not one of you, but I like it. Yes, that's right. That is what's different about it. When I was down in the Rio Grande Valley with Cruz, the fact is Jill Biden had visited

that same community. the community where she made the famous breakfast tacos speech, right? Where you're all, the wide variety of humanity, just like the wide variety of breakfast tacos. Remember that. And they're still laughing about that. They're still like, what the, what in the, like, what the, meanwhile, Donald Trump would be like, Cinco-Maya, here's my taco board, love it. They're better than any of your tacos. And they don't feel disrespected by that because guess what, Donald Trump isn't pretending to be Mexican and he's not pretending that he knows anything about breakfast tacos. He's like, yeah, I went down to the local restaurant. I picked up a

breakfast tacos, delicious. I liked eating it. Okay, cool. After the garbage truck stunt, he goes to a rally and he spends five minutes telling a hilarious off-the-cuff story about how ridiculous the whole thing was. And how he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to get up into the truck because it's too big and he's old. But he keeps the vest on because it's slimming and he's fat. And you watch it, it's hilarious. And you realize that, I mean, this is the difference. There's something different from him and Kamala, but this especially, that Kamala, is totally incapable of that, both speaking off the cuff and being funny for five minutes or for even one minute,

but also to be self-deprecating in that way that's just very... Here's an interesting question. That is a bone that Trump grew. You want to talk about Trump growing? That is a bone he grew. Okay, when Trump first stepped on the scene in 2015, 2016, he did not do self-deprecating. That's right. That is something that you actually saw.

He had that great line where he said, I'm supposed to do self-deprecating humor, but I've got nothing, remember with it. But he also had that moment, he had that moment on the other podcast, the name of which escapes me, where he said, when you invent an ugly name to call somebody, he's got to be like, pume, pume, you know, and I just thought like, that is brilliant because he's actually telling you he's a character. You know, he's playing the characters to some degree,

and he's happy to let you know it, you know. Here's a question that is worth posing to people in your life that loathe him and loved her or loathed him and we're okay with her. And it just occurred to me now. Ask them, do you think, you know Donald Trump? They will all say yes. Do you think you know Kamala Harris? No one thinks they know. See, this is a great point, Dennis, because we're saying she did a good job on this speech. Let's not confuse her with Pericles here. We're saying she did a good job because

she didn't sound deranged or drugged up or comatose. You know, she still didn't offer anything. And so I agree with your point, Jeremy, that she would have done better for sure if we saw that candidate, I think she would have done better to like 2.35 electoral votes. I don't think, I think she's getting a little bump out of that, but she still didn't offer anything. To your point, Ben, she tried this at the beginning of the campaign. It doesn't work. It's not sustainable. One thing that might have helped her in the campaign is if people could have pinned her down on a policy position or an achievement ever once, even in her life. But she tried to be all things to all people and without any actual convictions. It just totally.

And I think the other thing that happened is that even when she would tell stories about herself, they would betray nothing about her. Yeah. Right? She would say, she obviously relished in telling the story about how Joe Biden called her and said that he was dropping out. And how she said, are you okay, Joe? Are you? That was her first about her.

Are you okay, Joe? But she said, she was doing an interview. And she's like, you want to know a detail that was happening then? I was making breakfast for my nieces. That was the detail. Like, well, that was riveting. Thank you for that insight. And she also, she loves Doritos.

Yes. He loves Dorida. That came up many times on the campaign show. And you know something that you know about Donald Trump. You know why, for example, he doesn't drink or do drugs. Yeah. Because he has actually told us why he doesn't drink or do drugs because of his brother. Yeah. Right. And so like these are things that if you're talking about like personal authentic details, these are actual things that do matter. I do want to raise a glass to the person who's even happier than we are today. And that, of course, is Dr. Joe Biden. The greatest doctor in America. Dr. Jill, if you're watching this, a tribute to you, madam, because let me just say, you and your husband did an excellent job of just putting that knife directly between Kamala Harris and shoulder blades in the late stages of this campaign. You and you and Donald J. Trump, you will meet on a beach in Zewatineo

after where you will be friends, lifelong friends one day, because it is, it is, I have to say, Jill hates Kamala, like, hates Kamala Harris. And Joe hates Kamala Harris. And the happiest person today, I'm not sure is President Trump. The happiest person today might, in fact, be Joseph Robinette Biden. Yes. I think I just solved the election. Kamala Harris, not the brightest bulb, is introduced to Dr. Jill Biden. Dr. Jill Biden writes a prescription on a napkin to Kamala Harris.

Kamala Harris doesn't know that Dr. Jill Biden isn't a doctor. Kamla Harris goes and gets that prescription filled. She is stone for 118 straight days, can't form a cogent sentence, drifts through her campaign. Jeremy, I've noticed a sort of light motif to your commentary on this. On the day after losing, the prescription runs out, she walks out on stage, not even sure how she came to be here. Suddenly she's cogent and coherent, still not smart.

Still thinks that Dr. Jill Biden is a doctor. But I don't know. Just not doped up. Just not doped up. You know, I will say as insulting as the narrative that the media ran out that Joe Biden was mentally competent, which was the most insulting narrative. And I think it really did have a market effect on this campaign. Like if Joe Biden had been the campaign since 20, if, if Kamala Harris had been the candidate

since 2022 or 2023, this is a very different looking race, I think. The fact that Joe Biden did stick around that long and that that lie was promulgated for full-on years. And that she contributed to that law. And that she contributed and maintained that lie till today will still say that behind closed doors, man's doing backhand springs and such. The other lie that I can't, there's so many lies about Kamala Harris and her, and her entire campaign that I cannot abide. Obviously, the one personally that I cannot abide is Doug Emhoff,

Jew. Like, if I have to hear Doug Emhoff as an emissary of the Jewish people one more time, I'm going to, my head will turn 360 like Linda Blair and the Exorcist. Tacuna loomiting in all directions. But the real lie that they kept saying is they kept telling us how qualified at intelligence she was. I'm sorry, she isn't. she isn't the proof is in front of you she is not a particularly bright person and i know don't trump got ripped up and down for saying that she was a low IQ person she is not a particularly bright person okay she's not an 80 IQ person but this is not a person who's two standard deviations above the american average you watch her speak and she's doing an impression of what a middle

brow person thinks a very smart person sounds like and it's a bad impersonation and that lie was so transparent and so obvious and they kept saying that she was intellectually outclassing him And all you got was just this, just like pap and pap and memorized pap. Like, that's not intelligence. Donald Trump, for all of his flaws, the man has an innate grasp of important things. And it turns out that an innate grasp of important things is significantly more important than your ability to regurgitate platitudes that you memorized in the back room before a debate. Yeah.

The other lies that there's one thing that I think I'm the only person in American public life who I heard talk about the reality of how our enemies perceived us elevating a woman of no merit to run the world's sole global superpower. It's amazing to me that we just ran this race and no one talked about what it would mean for our national security to do such a thing. There's another unique point of view that I heard during this race, and it came from Matt Walsh, who is the only person I've heard have the audacity to point out that she is not a parent, that she gave speech after speech after speech, talking about how one of the hardest things she's done in her life was parent children, which she never did. She married a man with a 20-year-old, which is an adult,

and a 15-year-old, which I know the world's a little different now than it used to be. My parents cannot tell you what I did from the ages of 14 to today. Yeah. So she did not parent a 15-year-old. I'm not saying she had no responsibilities. I'm not trying to take away any contributions that she may have made in their lives. But when you tell someone that parenting is the hardest thing you'll ever do, that is not what they have in mind. Also, J.D. Vance was right about this. He was right about the lonesome cat ladies. He was also, he wouldn't have said this, but it's also true that women grow wise raising children in the same way men grow wise

working. And that is really what, where women, why older women, you talk to them and they don't have to have the highest IQ, they don't have to think in the same way men do. And they say things, you go like, oh yeah, that's right. That actually is telling me something I didn't see before. And she doesn't have that. And I think, you know, it matters. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter that you have a leader with no children.

It matters if you have too many leaders with no children. I mean, this is what invest you and gives you flesh in the future. And I think that that actually is an important fact about her. There's something empty and missing about her. And I'm not saying it is because she doesn't have children, but it's because she doesn't have children. She didn't have that experience. Yeah, I'm not saying also, though, Though I do think the left makes a point when they say her sex was a factor here,

I think it was a factor among women. I know plenty of women who wouldn't vote for a woman to be president, okay? And it's politically incorrect to say so, but there are plenty of women who feel that way and plenty of men who feel that way, too. Because they think men and women are different. This is my point. There are women who can be incredible, Thatcher as a PM, or, I don't know, Empress Maria Teresa or Queen Elizabeth.

You know, really, and women possessing, you know. Although Queen Elizabeth wasn't actually ahead of state. The first. The first. The second was, yeah. She was ahead of state. She didn't actually run. But also, grant the Thatcher exception.

Grant the Maria Terracia exception. Those are exceptions. You know, and she ain't, Kamala ain't no Margaret Thatcher. I'll grant you a Hillary Clinton exception. Yes, yes. At least when our enemies around the world who have no respect whatsoever for women who do not believe that women can be strong, the Chinese don't believe that a female president is going to be a credible threat against them.

Vladimir Putin doesn't believe that a female president can be a credible threat against them. The Iranians don't believe that a female president can be a credible threat against them. At least when they look at Hillary Clinton, who did stare them down as Secretary of State, whose husband had been president and deployed the United States military, who was kind of a tough old battle act by the time of Iran. No, there was no question. At least when they looked at her, there was, it was possible. They would at least have to think, well, I don't know, what if I'm wrong?

Yeah. They don't look at Kamala Harris and feel any of that. No way. And I'm sorry, the world doesn't work based on American values. on very, by the way, novel Western values. The world works on strength and is run by bad men. And bad men don't look at Kamala Harris and think, oh, I wouldn't test her.

Look at Kamala Harris and think, I am taking Taiwan. Yes. By the way, she doesn't understand the thing you're saying. One of the reports that came out, like a week and a half before the election, was that report in the New York Times that said that very early on she started receiving intelligence briefings. And one of the first things she did when she read the intelligence briefings,

is she thought that the intelligence briefers were using gendered language to describe female leaders of foreign countries. And so she literally called up the members of the intelligence community and asked them why they were using sexist language to describe female leaders of foreign countries. And this led to the formation of a DEI committee in the intelligence community in order to go through. And it turned out, by the way, they weren't using gendered language. It didn't matter.

They still built up an actual, like an actual structure inside the intelligence community. to make sure the intelligence briefings did not contain sexist language. You wondering why Vladimir Putin might, you know, test her a little or Xi Jinping? That would be why.

We could not do what we do without them. I would like to ask the group a question. I pulled a Dennis Prager-like experiment this morning. I have a friend in New York who is a devout Jew, who is as shattered by October 7th as Ben. I would say he was shattered by October 7th.

That's fair. And should well be. And she's a Democrat. And I've discussed with her. I don't believe you. No, it is absolutely true. I still don't believe it. But go ahead.

But it's true. Continue. So I've told her what I think in very much. mild manner terms, and she doesn't believe me because she's got that Democrat thing. So I said to her today, this is going to be a great presidency. Watch what this president does, not what the media says he does. Watch what he does, not what he says. And just tell me if he's not better for the things that you care deeply about.

She's almost been all Israel since this has happened. And she said, okay, I will. Any chance that's going to work? If it hasn't worked already, I have doubts that it's going to work in the future. Again, the reason I don't believe you is not because you are innately non-credible, although that is one reason. I work at that. The real reason I have trouble believing that is if somebody is truly shattered by October 7 and truly shattered by what happened.

Change your entire personality. If it changed your entire personality, I don't know how you can look yourself in the mirror and look at what Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have done to the state of Israel in the middle of an existential war on seven fronts, and then say that Donald Trump, the most pro-Israel president in American history, bar none,

there are no close competitors that you are so bewildered and befuddled by Donald Trump that you have to vote for Kamala Harris, who couldn't bring herself to even say that Israel was not coming a genocide when people were protesting her rallies. I can explain it to me.

Okay, please. Yeah, she gets all her news in places like The New York Times. And so she thinks that, she thinks, oh, he's for Israel. And the New York Times was not shattered by it over 70s. Yeah, right.

She gets her news from something that has no empathy with her own reactions. It's a farce. But that's the part of her, I find bewildering, because I don't know how you could read the New York Times, which runs stories that, shall we say, are mildly non-credible about things like Israeli soldiers shooting children in their head for sport, right? They ran a front-page story suggesting that's what Israeli soldiers were doing. And then they ran x-rays that were clearly not credible x-rays along with that story. And she still believes the New York Times.

Every Orthodox Jew that I know canceled the New York Times. Times in 1997. I'm not even kidding you, okay? Because that was the year, that was the year that they ran on the front page of the New York Times, a photo showing an Israeli soldier who was defending a kid who's being, who's having the crap kicked out of him by Palestinians. And they ran the story, the kid, there's bleeding kid, soldier, and they ran the caption underneath the picture suggesting that it was an Israeli soldier beating a Palestinian child. They ran on the front page of the New York Times. Every single Jew that I know, except for Dennis who has to read it for informational purposes, every single single.

Jew that I know canceled the New York Times if they cared about that. The New York Times has been a laughing stock in the Orthodox Jewish community. But she's not getting, she's not that into new. By the way, I should point out that Donald Trump did great with the Jews this election. Yes. Yes. He did great. He won districts in New Jersey. He has not come close to winning. He won in excess of 43% of the vote in New York. One third of New York City went for Donald, New York City went for Donald Trump in this election cycle. There were trucks that were broadcasting songs in Yiddish about voting. I showed one to Noles before the actual, but it was amazing. They're going through Lakewood, New Jersey, with a school bus blasting out in Yiddish,

vote for Donotr. I want to say that this is a place where I think you have a little bit of a blind spot then. And it's because you have a very high expectation of people generally and particularly have a very high expectation of your fellow Jews. The truth is, most people are only beginning to wake up to the fact that the media is not credible. That's fair. That's fair. That's fair. And it is incredibly hard to change your priors.

I mean, it's almost impossible for a person to change their priors. It requires the one thing that humans are the most loathe to do, which is admit that they are wrong. And I'm not exaggerating when I say, people literally take their own lives because that is easier than changing their view of themselves and their view of the world. Absolutely. Than changing their mind. And we have friends.

We've talked about them on the show. I don't think it does that much good to name them because we have had relationships with them in the past. We have friends who act today as though Donald Trump were never president of the United States. All of them, all of them have done that. There is no, there is, they are not impacted at all by the actual record of the man being president. They are still reacting to him as though it were the year 2016. because they came to a conclusion in 2016.

By the way, I came to that same conclusion in 2016. I wrote a series of letters to my friend Dennis Prager in 2016. Some of the things I said came true. Some of the things that I said did not. The presidency of Donald Trump was the test of the theories that I put forward in 2016. And now I can tell you which parts came true. I can tell you which parts didn't. And I can tell you how that's impacted, how I see Donald Trump.

But they don't do that. I want to react to your point about people not giving up what they have held, which is, that's the great book, the God, failed. It was about people who believed in communism and then saw that it was the greatest mass murder movement, the history of humanity. Wonderful. So what people need to understand, and this is the central message of my life's work has been

the consequences of secularism. What happens in a post-Judeo-Christian world? That's been the most constant theme of all of my work. And the answer is that people do not. stop being religious. They just change religions. Secular religions simply substitute for Judaism and Christianity. Environmentalism is a religion. Feminism is a religion. Communism is a religion. Socialism is a religion. All of these are religions. And an environmentalist is as likely to give up the belief that the world is about to implode from global warming as a

Christian is going to give up belief in Christ. That is what we need to understand. They have adopted religion. The great quote is not from me. They say it's from G.K. Chesterton, but we have no proof that he said it, but he probably did because he was just so bright. But whoever said it, when people stop believing in God, they don't believe in nothing. They believe in anything. and it's only secular people who say men give birth. Not all secular people say it, but only secular people say it. Why that alone doesn't keep people or convince people that God is necessary, even if you don't believe, you don't know there's a God, I don't care.

I want you to understand what Douglas Murray, who is an agnostic understands. The end of religion in the West is the end of the West. You know, the thing that I'll say also to you, Jeremy, is you're right, I do hold religious people and my fellow Orthodox Jews to a higher standard. And that's because they're supposedly holding themselves to a higher standard. So there is a higher burden on you if you're a religious person to hold up the facts of the world against the religious values that you claim to hold central to you. You know, the thing as a religious person that you are called upon to do is to place aside your personal valuation of particular situations in favor of the values that are actually eternal. And so if you are having such a hard time giving up your perception that the New York Times is a solid and wonderful newspaper, they are

unwilling to see through that because for some reason that holds an identity to you in some way, no matter how many times your fellow Orthodox Jews are saying to you, for example, look at what he's actually doing, just look at it. Then that betrays a lack of, it does betray a lack of principle in some way. Most people read just the headlines. I understand. So it, Listen, ignorance is a defense, but at a certain point, ignorance is no longer a defense, right? Of course. I'm defending Drew's friend whom I do not know or know anything about only because I'm a Zionist shill, and I assume that at some point, at some point I'll be paid for my defense of her. In shekels. You always get back in shuckles. But no, all I'm saying is that the very fact that she said to Drew today, okay, I'll do that. means that in this one individual case, there's some hope.

I don't think that we can say that this is a person for whom we can conclude that ignorance is no longer a defense. I think this is a person who possibly is in the process of waking up to their ignorance. And it's difficult particularly, I bring this up sometimes on the show, right? It's difficult for people like us who spend our time advocating for values. And when you advocate for values, you're necessarily advocating for, for, for, black and white. You're necessarily advocating for absolutes. But no humans live within the realm of absolutes. Humans live in the very, very messy thing called reality. And in the messy place called reality, when we say, I only say this for the audience, you know my argument because you've heard it,

but when we say, for example, you know, if you want to have a successful life, it's easy, there's really only three things you need to know, don't have sex before you, or don't, no childbearing before marriage. No child bearing before marriage. Get a job, finish high school. Get a job, finish high school. And get married. But Ben has cited this study many times that the three most determinative things, don't have a child before you're married, finish high school, get a job. But most people to whom we're speaking, if they're not already living the life that we're trying to call them to, have already failed at one or two or three of those things.

And so we have to make sure that while we're advocating for our set of values, we leave room for people to live in the messy world and draw near to, because by the way, we also don't perfectly embody our values. At best, we're trying to draw near to God, and we have maybe different points of view about exactly how that's accomplished. But that's the only place where I'm pushing back, and pushing back in particular because I know that I think that you, in some ways because of your superpowers,

in some ways because of them, it can be hard for you sometimes to see that mere mortals sometimes are striving towards something because... No, I get that, but I will say that. I think particularly because the last year has been what the last year has been. Of course. It is an angering thing

that people have not woken up earlier. Yeah. Right? Like I mean, again, I hope that your friend really holds by that. I hope that your friend does reconsider. I hope that the whole American people take this opportunity, frankly,

to reconsider the inevitability and the reality of Donald Trump's second presidency and stop looking at it through the prism of MSNBC's linguistic inability to understand Donald Trump and start looking at as, Is your life better? Because I think 51% of the population in the United States already concluded their life was better. And they did what you said. They did pay attention. A lot of people, even on the left, have said that voters paid attention to the fact that life was better under Trump.

And I hope that your friend will make the check payable to Jeremy D. Gore. We'll talk after. We'll talk. Matt? Yeah, we also just can't underestimate the extent to which most anti-Trump, maybe not your friend, but the extent to which many anti-Trump people have just organized their whole identity. around the simple fact of being anti-Trump. And, you know, we talk about the cult of personality around Trump, but there's this like, on the other side, there's a strange sort of answer to that, where I'm not sure we've ever seen that before, around a particular person where you've got millions of people

who find their identity in hating that one individual person. Well, there is a deep religious phenomenon going on, which is, like so much of liberalism, just an ape and an inversion of Christianity, which is in Christianity, especially drawing from the Neoplatonic tradition that comes up through the scholastics in Christianity, going back to St. Augustine even, there's this notion that existence is good. So there is good and good exists. We're not living in a Manichaean dualist world where there's the good force and the bad force and they're ever at odds. There's just good. God is just good. And evil, in the Christian view, is the privation of the good.

in modern liberal ideology, there really is no absolute good. There's just absolute evil. There is the pure incarnation of evil in Hitler, where you could say even Hitler is not Hitler, or now in Trump. When they say Trump is Hitler, they're saying evil is evil. Trump is evil. But that is an inversion of the Christian view. There have been three major horror movies that came out in the last year in which there was a demon, but there was no God.

I'd never see even when it was a sequel to the exorcist. They were possessed, but there was no God. It was only if you believed something. And you could bring in all these other religious traditions to exercise. Any religious tradition was as good as any other. I've never seen that in a horror movie before where the evil is pure and the evil exists. Yes. But there's no.

It's a great example of this. Evil from the point of view of a nihilist. I'm going to ask three questions from Dailywire.com members. These are people who support the work that we do. And I think received good value from it. For example, access to all the shows, access to the films made by, well, only Matt Walsh of this lot makes any. But there are other films on the platform. That's true. You made a Lady Ballers.

Oh, that's true. There was a ladyballers movie. You can go over to dailyware.com slash subscribe. Become a member for 47% off today. You could use promo code Trump. Trump is our 47th president. I'll never get tired of saying it. It's pretty fun.

And there'll never be a 48th. So this promo code will last for a thousand years. He lied to me. He promised me that we would win so much I'd be tired of winning. And I'm not tired of winning. I slept for two hours last night. I'm tired from winning. I'm not tired of winning.

I want more. I want more winning. So as a preamble to this first question, I want to tell you about the most moving moment of the night last night. And two people experienced it. Actually, Caleb experienced it. And then independently, I experienced it. I think Caleb experienced the actual moment of it.

and I experienced a version of it a few minutes later. But even for me, it was moving. The celebration had happened. I think this happened to me as well. I think it happened to me too. Yeah. Because I think it was a profound moment. It was the only time I choked up.

Because, so we probably all had a moment of this. The whole thing was happening. And our dear friend, Siaka, Black Jeremy, that was it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Walked up and said, he put his arms around me, and he said, I'm not going to prison. I just wrote about this, yeah.

And Siaka was there on January 6th. Siaka did not engage in any violence on January 6, but he was there. He had his home rated by the FBI in Southern California two years ago. Day after a movie premiere. No, no, no, no, no. He had his home rated two years ago in Southern California. And then an entire year after having his home rated, you know, by armed agents, he flew out here for the premiere of Lady Ballers,

which he had played a small and very, very funny role in. and when he flew home, they pulled him out of line at the airport in L.A. and arrested him. They had had years, two, three years to have done this. In fact, they had raided his home

and still not, and they arrested him at that moment. And so here was Siaka realizing, and I say this to say, there are genuine, genuine consequences of elections. And here was a man realizing in real time what this means for him, as a person.

And the question from the member is, Do you think Trump will pardon everyone from January 6th and the people that were jailed for praying in front of the abortion clinics? I think he, if he doesn't, that would be the worst possible sign that he's not going to use this opportunity to advance his agenda in any meaningful way. But I think he will. I mean, he must. He must. And I absolutely think he will. I would be shocked at him. He might not pardon every single. There may have been people who actually committed acts of violence. There were people. There were people on January 6 who deserve to be in jail. political person. And there's an important point to make, I agree with you.

There's an important point to make looking down the barrel that we have a Republican White House, Senate, and probably House, when the member asked this question about people who are jailed for praying in front of abortion clinics, they're talking about a law called the Face Act, which was passed in the 90s, it was under Bill Clinton. It was a dishonest law from the start because it said it was going to protect access to abortion clinics on one hand and places of worship on the other. And that second part was completely fake. It was contrived to get the law through.

That is not what the law is used for. The law is used to punish pro-lifers. And pregnancy centers, too. It's supposed to protect. And they've been burned down and nothing is been done. It is only used to go after pro-lifers who demonstrate peacefully at baby killing mills. And I am calling on Republican lawmakers in the House and in the Senate and on President Trump, who's the most pro-life president we've ever had.

please put all your political capital that you got behind repealing the Face Act, which is one of the most unjust laws in the United States, beautiful, innocent people, 75-year-old women who all they do is pray peacefully in front of abortion clinics, are sitting in prison right now, in nasty, dangerous prisons because of this disgusting law. It's one of the gravest injustices in the country. Every Republican lawmaker, get up when you're sworn into office and repeal the face Act finally. Absolutely, but before that is repealed and that needs to happen, Trump also just needs to pardon. And also pardoned. There are old women who are right now going to federal

prison for praying in front of abortion clinic. And so that's something that, and I truly believe he'll do this almost right away. He must do it and I think he will do it. How do you think, I love asking questions. How do you think Merrick Garland will be regarded to the extent that he's ever remembered? I mean, it's a serious question. Yeah, well, he's your, yeah, he's just, He turned out to be a very bad human being. And that was the portrayal of him when he was nominated for the Supreme Court was angelic. And he turned out to be diabolic. Well, it may even be the case that he was a better man.

People are broken by the circumstances. Some people rise to circumstances. I think he's corrupted. Are defeated by circumstances. That's an interesting answer. And we talked last night about John McCain. Again, John McCain Patriot, John McCain hero. That example.

And he gave into his hatred of Trump. And it seems to me that Merrick Garland gave into this hatred. Right. So it's one of these great philosophic questions to which there may be an answer. Can you know anyone, including yourself, until you're tested? Until you have power. It's a very, very tough question to answer. Yes.

And it goes to my fundamental problem, as we've been discussing this of late to, with Christians in America in particular, with evangelicals who abstain from the political process to maintain their vision of their own purity, that God disciplines those whom he loves. That doesn't mean that God punishes those whom he loves. Doesn't mean that God breaks those whom he loves. In fact, it's in the Bible. I think it's a New Testament idea, but that a bruised read, he will not break. But discipline is different. God does discipline those whom he loves. And you are disciplined through trial. You're disciplined through testing. So I think that, no, you cannot know yourself until you're tested. And I believe that it is the responsibility of a man to go out into the world

where the tests await. And if you abstain from life to maintain your idealic view of yourself, what you're actually doing is saying, I would rather not be tested and see myself as good than be tested and find out, or probably more accurately, it's not be tested and find out. It's be tested and be made better. You know, it's an interesting paradox that, as Jordan said last night, and this is absolutely true, the left looks at every relationship in terms of power. The power is the only reality they believe in. And yet they never question what it's going to do to people to have the power, for instance,

to redistribute wealth, which is, to me, the great flaw in Marxism, is that there's this entity, this state that is going to do all these things, but nobody's going to have any power. And, you know, the minute you give people that power, they become corrupt. Powers incredibly corrupt. So in terms of tests, I'd like to share something that I addressed to Christians about, yeah, a year ago, after October 7, when a certain eruption, I don't want to overstate how much, but a certain eruption of anti-Semitism took place in the most pro-Jewish, non-Jewish country in the history of the world since perhaps Darius is Persia. And what I'd said was a lot, not a lot, but I'm reading reports of Jews taking down the Mizuzza from their doorpost. Aziza is this little box containing a little part of the Torah, love God with all your heart and the creedo of Judaism,

hero Israel, the Lord, the God, the Lord is one. And I said, instead of Jews taking it down, why don't Christians put up on Azusa on their doorpost? And I want to just say, and I'm almost holding back tears, the number of Christians who sent me pictures of themselves standing in front of their door with the Mazuzza. And I, this is a perfect, the Daily Wire is a perfect vehicle for that

project. This, this is, you're, not defying the Gestapo, you're not risking your life or limb, but you are doing something heroic. Just putting that little box on your doorpost. I know several people who started when

Patty Heaton did it. Patty's great. Patty Patty, a incredibly devout Catholic and actress and Nashville a resident and longtime friend of all of ours, I think, really took up that, yep, took up that cause. It was, it's basically, it's not in any way for a Christian violation of anything. No, no. That verse is in our Bible. Exactly. Love God and love your neighbor. The two great principles. This begins with the love God. Dennis, what do you think about this option? Instead of putting

the muses up, could I just wear a giant strimal? I think those look really cool. The fur ones. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Oh, just wear one. Just wear it in general. Or put a picture of you wearing one. Instead of the Mizosa. It could be my new headshot. What can, this is actually, this is my favorite question of all the questions asked by DailyWire.com members during the broadcast today.

What concessions should be made by Republicans to keep this level of participation and support from the center and center left? Essentially Donald Trump picked up enormous gains among non-traditionally conservative voters. The question is obviously a controversial one. It's what continued compromises should be made to keep that coalition of place. You don't have to. Trump didn't give up much. He spoke in a somewhat

mealy-mouthed way on abortion, which was the one issue that Democrats were getting some traction on. Other than that, and I don't think he conceded much, if anything, in principle. Bobby Kennedy was scandalized by his own party. Elon Musk was scandalized by his own party. The people on the left were just, the left had gone too far. And so they started to make this turn of their heads and their minds to the right. That's an opening, and I'm a lot. That's an opening, opportunity for us. Just as, I don't know, when I was younger, I was less conservative. I was always kind of conservative, but I've become deeper in my conservatism over time. Well, good. Let's welcome Kennedy or Elon, wherever they are, but let's invite them to come a little deeper into conservatism.

I think, you know, they're on our team now, and team politics is important. So let's bring them in. So that's very idealistic, and I think almost totally wrong. So I think, and the reason I say that is because Donald Trump went through the Republican national platform and stripped three quarters of the policy out of it. He forcibly, he forcibly dissociated from Project 2025 and then said publicly, week before the election, anyone whose name was in Project 2025 could not be part of the administration. So the idea that he didn't make concessions in order to win a broader coalition is not true. Now, I think the answer to the question is it's situational. Okay. So one of the things that I think it's really important, particularly in our line of work, is to separate the principled from the

pragmatic. These are not exactly the same thing. And when you are in the practice of politics, the principle has to be tempered by pragmatism. So it's our job to say how far politicians are straying from principle. And then it's their job to try and get 80% of the pie. And so the question is, how much do you have to give up in order to continue to receive 51% of the vote? And I think, I mean, let's be real. It was a landslide in the terms that we use for presidential elections. And a landslide. I mean, like, normally if you say 5148, that's now considered a presidential landslide in any other area of American life. If you said that you had a room of 100 people and 51 voted one way and 48 voted the other, you wouldn't go, my God, that's a blowout. You'd say that's

pretty close. In other words, this is a very, very tightly divided country still, clearly. We've had three consecutive, incredibly tight elections. And if you go back before Barack Obama, you had a very tight election in 2004 and a very tight election in 2000s. This is a very closely divided country. What that means is William F. Buckley, who is now widely derided for reasons that escape my understanding. William up Buckley once said that the purpose of a primary is to select the most plausible conservative candidate who could win, right? The most conservative candidate who can win. And that is the same answer today. Who is the, what is the most conservative thing that you can

push and still win? And still win. It sounds like ugly to us because we're in the business of principle. And it should sound ugly because pragmatism is dirtying. It's what you said about, you know, religious people getting involved in politics. It means that you have to make concessions and bargains with things that you don't like. Listen, as you say, I'm I'm his pro-year-and-I are exactly the same on the pro-life issue. I'd love a candidate who came out and tomorrow said constitutional amendment banning all abortion in the United, like that'd be great. Also, that is a great way to alienate Elon Musk and alienate Joe Rogan and alien, all the people

who voted for, if Donald Trump had run on a platform that we all approve of socially, right? Like traditional marriage, for example, traditional, let's say he went back to like the 2004 Republican platform, traditional marriage, no abortion, even if you took the George Dobby Bush position, with exceptions for rape and incest to have been too much for them. those positions. Rogan's not on board. Elon's not on board. Okay, that's the reality.

The Republican Party just jettisoned two-thirds of its economic program in terms of spending. I'm old enough to remember the Tea Party. Well, not long ago. The Tea Party was all about government spending a national debt. Donald Trump spent

the most money of any president in history up until Joe Biden. And so that was jettisoned in order to win votes. Pretending that didn't happen doesn't make the thing go away. And I also think it's dangerous to pretend that it did because then you actually are sacrificing the principles.

You didn't change the principle. The principle is, in fact, being negotiated in order to achieve the thing. That's not a sin. That's just called politics. That is how you get to a coalition. I think, though, there's a little idealism in this view of things, too, though, because we all remember the halcy and days of the Tea Party. The Tea Party in office did not accomplish very much.

Republicans have not cut spending since Calvin Coolidge, by my calculation. I agree. So, you know, the point I'm making is that the revealed preferences of the American people tend to actually be pretty consistent. Okay, here's where the American people are by pretty much every poll statistic. Okay, and regardless, this is not about what we want. This is what the American people keep showing. The American people on abortion restrictions, if you were to take like a national average, okay, because we're doing national elections, not in each state. Yeah. Right. Florida's going to ban abortion. New York's going to have abortions till they're nine. But like on the average, the American people are somewhere between 12 and 15 weeks on abortion bans. If you're looking at, if you're looking at entitlement spending, the American people are fine with entitlement spending. They don't want the entitlements's touch. They want that maintained. And they get very, very scared anytime anyone talks about a serious entitlement reform, including smart ones like the one that should have been done in 2005, when George W. Bush essentially recommended, you know, for all the hatred we have, his proposal on Social Security would have made this country so much richer.

It's not even imaginable. Okay, he suggested that we just take what you were putting into Social Security and put in a private savings account that would have been invested in the stock market. Can you imagine if they had done that? The stock market is currently riding at 43,000, the Dow Jones Industrial Average. I don't remember what it was riding at in 2005. I promise you was a fraction of that. So all that's been jettisoned.

And the American people don't care about that. They also don't want high taxes. They want low taxes. They want high spending. They want some abortion restrictions, but not tons of abortion restrictions. They don't seem to care too much about gay marriage anymore. This is where the American people are. They want school choice and they want the border closed.

Right. They want school choice. And then on our side, they want school choice. They want the border. No, no, no. Not just an... How many discounts does USA auto insurance offer? Too many to say here.

Multi-vehicle discount. Safe driver discount. New vehicle discount. Storage discount. How many discounts will you stack up? Tap the banner or visit usaa.com slash auto discounts. Restrictions apply.

Our side. No, no. I mean, on both sides. I mean that on an issue. They cut to your favor. They want school choice. They want the border closed. They want a strong American military that deters, that deters war and prevents foreign

actors from doing bad things to us. They want strong policing, right? They want mass deportations. I mean, yes. That's a, yeah. That's a majority of you. That's a majority of you. And it'll be interesting to see, by the way, I do wonder when it comes to mass deportations,

whether the revealed preference of the American people will be different from the thing that they're saying right now. Because I think when most people think mass deportations, they're thinking the Venezuelan gang members who are taking over apartment buildings in Colorado. They're not thinking of, you know, the gardeners in Los Angeles. Trump knows that.

I know he knows that. That's why he's not going to do it, by the way. The other thing we're really fortunate about is we need some structural changes that nobody is going to really be thinking about. You know, the whole thing about the bureaucracy, about Chevron. Those are huge, huge deals. Because they, you know, I think of Trump, you know, Before the running back, I hate to use a football metaphor, but I love the game.

Before the running back can take off, some 300-pound guy has got a knocked alignment out of his way. That's the way I think of Donald Trump. I think he is setting... You know, you should teach this stuff to Tim Wall. You might have won if you know this. You know, when you're running a pick-six play. No, I think this is the moment when the future of conservatism, the structure of the future of conservatism will be built. It's not when conservatism will be built.

So I would like to read. become possible. I would like to read one thing to everyone and then ask Dennis Prager a question before we part. And here's what I would like to read you. I have not read this in advance. So you're experiencing it as I do. But I suspect you should grab your leftist here, Stumblers. From the official Barack Obama Twitter account, here is our official statement on the results of the 2024 presidential election. A statement by president and Mrs. This is the actual header. statement by President and Mrs. Obama on the 2024 presidential election. They've decided to put out a written statement because, as we know, they're very camera-shy.

Over the last through few weeks and through Election Day, millions of Americans cast their votes, not just for president, but for leaders at every level. Now the results are in, and we want to congratulate President Trump and Senator Vance on their victory. This is obviously not the outcome we had hoped for, given our profound disagreements with the Republican ticket on a whole host of issues. but living in a democracy is about recognizing that our point of view won't always went out and being willing to accept the peaceful transfer of power. Michelle and I couldn't be prouder of Vice President Harris and Governor Walls to extraordinary public service servants who ran a remarkable campaign. And we will always be grateful to the staff and volunteers who poured their heart and soul

into electing public servants they truly believed in, including Hitler. As I said on the campaign trail, America has been through a lot over the last few years from an historic story. pandemic and price hikes resulting from that pandemic to rapid change in the feeling, a lot of folks have that no matter how hard they work, treading water is the best they can do. Those conditions have created headwinds for democratic incumbents around the world, and last night showed that America is not immune. The good news is these problems are solvable, but only if we listen to each other, and only if we abide by the core

constitutional principles and democratic norms that made this country great. In a country as big and diverse as ours, we won't always see eye to eye on everything, but progress requires us to extend good faith and grace, even to people with whom we deeply disagree. That's how we've come this far, and it's how we'll keep building a country that is more fair and more just and more equal and more free. Wow. What about the existential threat, though? I want to say that this is a very gracious statement, much like her very gracious statement, probably written by the same person. And it is obvious that they are setting up their next move. They're saying, we believe in the peaceful transfer of power, which is obviously a repudiation of Trump.

And they're saying that we have to abide by the Constitution. They're talking about democratic norms. They are obviously prepping to shift toward a full assault against Donald Trump for being violent of the constitutional norms. It's not the first time they've trotted out this particular play. I don't think it works again. I think you can only impeach the guy twice. I know that's not in the Constitution, but practically twice isn't.

Well, the biggest problem that they've got is that what are the things that he's going to do that they're going to claim our anti-democratic. Schedule F employment in the executive branch? Maybe. If that's your best shot, my dude, like, I don't think that's going anywhere. I mean, these are people who wanted to kill the filibuster five seconds ago and pack the Supreme Court. Now it's holy writ. Right, exactly. Now they're not going to want to touch the filibuster for the rest of time. Should we pack the Supreme Court, by the way? This is our opportunity, right? They kill the filibuster? I'm like, why not? Let's go, baby. It's time to ride, ride and pass a national abortion ban and The Reinstitute Project 2025.

It's obviously the right thing to do. Dennis, before we park company, you promised Ben and I a story about your sons. Oh, thank you. Yes. So here we go. So it's perfect. I set you up all last night. I told you that during our sessions that I had said publicly that the happiest day in my life

was in 2016 when Donald Trump won. and that includes, I would add in my speeches, the day my two sons were born. So the first question anyone asks me is, do your, have your kids, have your sons heard you say that? To which I say, yes, absolutely. I now have proof. This is what I got unsolicited from my two sons. I have to find this for you. I didn't know if we would, I didn't want to interrupt with my personal, but it is, it is so precious. and if I just can't, I probably can't. There are so many texts here. Okay, so basically, first I get a text from my older son.

Okay, and it's basically, I wish I had word for word. They're both awry at my sons. So my older son says, now the day your two sons were born is your third happiest day. I read it in my son. hotel room, when you start laughing when you're alone, you know something is really funny. So those who are going down, how my kids reacted. Then by younger son texts, his last night was happier than the day I was born. I think we can all raise a glass to that.
