WEBVTT - The Late Debate | 6 November 0:00:00.280 --> 0:00:01.720 Lately the general. 0:00:02.480 --> 0:00:04.840 Welcome to the Late Bay. 0:00:07.560 --> 0:00:10.040 Well, thanks for joining us on this historic night. I'm 0:00:10.119 --> 0:00:12.680 James Macpherson with Liz Storer and Caleb Bond. 0:00:13.240 --> 0:00:15.520 Well, against all odds, I. 0:00:15.480 --> 0:00:18.240 Mean, they tried to bankrupt him, they tried to jail him, 0:00:18.239 --> 0:00:20.759 they even tried to kill him, not once, but twice, 0:00:20.880 --> 0:00:24.279 and yet Donald Trump has been elected the forty seventh 0:00:24.320 --> 0:00:28.680 president of the United States. I can imagine those on 0:00:28.720 --> 0:00:32.440 the left have already started epic meltdowns. Will bring you 0:00:32.479 --> 0:00:36.720 some of the hilarious hysteria in just a moment. But 0:00:36.760 --> 0:00:39.400 of course, Trump not only won the electoral College, he 0:00:39.440 --> 0:00:42.800 also won the popular votes. So for all those who 0:00:42.840 --> 0:00:45.879 were upset by the result, there were far more who 0:00:45.960 --> 0:01:08.320 were thrilled when the announcement came through. That's not exactly 0:01:08.400 --> 0:01:11.279 the way the result was communicated, but you get the idea. 0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:12.840 And now we're going to go live to the US 0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:15.560 in just a moment. But first, Caleb, you're getting into 0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:16.560 the spirit of the evening. 0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:20.640 Mate, why not? What a time to be alive? What 0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:25.440 a day in history. Seriously, if of all the days 0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:28.720 to celebrate, this is absolutely one of them. Because you 0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:31.880 know what, like the left said, like Oprah Winfrey. All 0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:34.840 these people are saying democracy was on the ballot, and 0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:39.080 you know what, Americans chose democracy today and I love it. 0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:41.760 And Liz, of course, you are very very happy with 0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:42.319 this result. 0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:46.920 This is every Christmas, every Birthday rolled into one and 0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:50.040 presented with a bow. But I've got to say, my 0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:53.120 Trump hat dates back to twenty twenty. 0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:56.120 You're new to the fault. 0:01:56.360 --> 0:01:59.279 I've had more people spit in my coffee. 0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:01.680 Shopped on the last moment. Unbelievable. 0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:04.720 All right, let's go live to the US where our 0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:08.560 guest is political commentator Stephen Hendrix, who's a former public 0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:11.400 official and diplomat with the Obama, the Trump and the 0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:16.000 Biden administrations. Stephen, thanks so much for joining us tonight. 0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:18.919 I just want to get a sense from you. I mean, 0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:22.320 this is no ordinary election result, is it. Many people 0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:26.760 are saying this is perhaps the most incredible political comeback 0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:30.960 of all time. Is that exaggeration or is that pretty accurate? 0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:34.840 Well, I think we were on a knife sedge fifty 0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:37.880 to fifty for a number of months. This could have 0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:44.880 gone either way. And when the Biden campaign, when Joe 0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:50.760 Biden had his presidential debate that was so disastrous I 0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:57.240 think the Democrats did. They scrambled, they substituted candidates, and 0:02:57.280 --> 0:02:59.360 they made a run for it. But you really have 0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:02.280 to chip your hat to Donald Trump. He came through tonight. 0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:04.760 How much of this do you think comes down to 0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:07.960 those shy Trump voters? Because, of course, as we were 0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:10.560 talking about I was talking to you on Sunday night, 0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:13.360 you know, the polling was showing that things were very close, 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:15.840 but it was all within the margin of era. The 0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:19.799 result you've seen today winning not only the electoral College 0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:23.160 but the popular vote, which is of course not even 0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:26.280 what happened to Trump in twenty sixteen. How much of 0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:30.120 that comes down to people who perhaps weren't open about 0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:32.359 the fact they were going to support Trump, but when 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:35.000 push came to shout, they thought, no, I have to 0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:36.240 do my bid for the country. 0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:42.680 Well, the shy Trump voter was a theory in the 0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:49.360 Hillary campaign, and it came about because the pollsters theorized 0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:52.480 after the fact that people might have been embarrassed to 0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:56.520 say that they were supporting him because of racist ideology, 0:03:56.680 --> 0:03:59.880 because of whatever, and that they came out. I think 0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:05.520 this time around, people weren't shy about their support for him. 0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:09.040 So I'm not sure it was the shy voter. I 0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:13.880 think partly it was that Kamala Harris was the candidate 0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:18.279 of the status quo. Her campaign slogan were not going back. 0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:23.360 But Trump was the candidate of change. And I think 0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:27.200 a lot of the voters saw that the economy was 0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:29.760 not where they want they wanted it to be. Inflation 0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:36.359 was too high, gas prices, the grocery bill, the malaise 0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:41.560 on the southern border, of the immigration issues. They wanted 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:45.360 to see some change and they came through. In particular, 0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:49.159 it was the Latino vote that really came through and 0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:51.839 the youth vote that really came through. For President Trump. 0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:55.360 You have to tip your hat to his organization and 0:04:55.520 --> 0:05:00.440 to the grassroots organizations that he brought together in a 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:05.440 coalition to drive this home. Kudos to his team. Whatever 0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:08.120 side of the debate you're on, you have to tip 0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:10.880 your hat to the guy that came up with a 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:15.000 successful campaign. And this was a victory for all Americans 0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:19.000 in that we went to the polls, we voted, We 0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:23.720 have a result, and congratulations to the. 0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:28.680 Winner, Stephen, Congrats on once again being in a red state. 0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:31.400 About twenty minutes before we came to air, Wisconsin was 0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:35.200 called for Trump. You were blue yesterday, you read today. 0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:38.359 I'm sure you can still feel the equality of life 0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:41.400 just going through the roof as that announcement took place. 0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:45.200 But what's the vibe like there on the ground. Obviously, 0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:49.919 Wisconsin is more historically a blue leaning state. Have you 0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:53.920 begun to see the Democrat melt down there in Wisconsin? 0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:59.600 Well, writes previous, a former chief of staff for President 0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:06.359 Trump from Wisconsin. Tommy Thompson, our famous Republican governor here. 0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:14.720 So we've had a long line of great tradition on 0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:20.479 both sides. The Republican Party began in Rippon, Wisconsin. But 0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:23.839 we also have the long tradition of the progressive movements 0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:27.880 which inspired Teddy Roosevelt and others. So this is a 0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:34.080 very political state. It has great traditions on both sides. 0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:37.840 I think the mood in the state is it's five 0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:42.680 o'clock in the morning and most people are asleep. When 0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:49.920 the polls closed last night. Here in Wapaca, Wisconsin, we 0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:53.400 as a community we went to an ecumenical church service 0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:58.440 at the local Episcopal church and prayed for America and 0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:02.000 our leader ship. At that time we did not know 0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:06.479 who it would be, but as a community, Republicans Democrats, 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:10.680 we still got together and prayed for the well being 0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:12.040 of our country. 0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:13.880 Steve, and I have to ask you, how are the 0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:17.040 Democrats going to explain this result? Because for months now 0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:20.360 they've told us Trump is Hitler, and yet it seems 0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:23.000 like Hitler increased his share of the Jewish vote, the 0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:25.080 Black vote, and the minority vote. 0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:26.960 How did the Democrats explain that? 0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:31.400 Yeah, I think there's going to be some recriminations and 0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:35.120 soul searching in the DNC for some time now. We 0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:40.960 got into our country, got into this situation by with 0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:43.960 Joe Biden being the incumbent, and we really didn't have 0:07:44.040 --> 0:07:48.320 a open primary process. That will not be the case 0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:52.480 for you from now. The Democrats will have an open 0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:57.720 field and on the Republican side, I suspect the same 0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:02.680 because Trump will have exhausted is two terms of office, 0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:07.040 and so I think this will be an interesting time 0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:10.080 for both parties to come up with a new set 0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:13.520 of candidates for four years from now. But that's a 0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:17.080 long time in the future. Right now, I think we 0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:22.680 savor the moment. This was a civic party, if you will, 0:08:23.360 --> 0:08:25.840 a time for all Americans to come together at the 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:29.480 polling stations. When I went to vote, I saw my 0:08:29.560 --> 0:08:33.440 neighbors and friends in line voting from both parties. We 0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:37.040 all shook hands, we talked a little bit as we 0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:41.560 were waiting in line. And it's a magic moment in 0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:44.640 a democracy when we have that privilege, when. 0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:48.320 We talk about that minority votering. Harris Scott on the 0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:51.760 current numbers, fifty six percent of the Hispanic vote compared 0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:55.200 to sixty three percent for Biden. And you would have thought, 0:08:55.200 --> 0:08:57.520 you know, Donald Trump, the man who wants to stop 0:08:57.559 --> 0:08:59.920 people coming over the Mexican border, that they would have 0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:02.280 rushed to Harris. But of course that didn't happen. But 0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:05.320 I thought it was so interesting. Of Course Harris did 0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:10.280 not come out and address her crowd at HQ tonight 0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:14.800 or overnight your time, mercing someone else to say, sorry, lads, 0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:18.240 go home, we'll come back and have a conflag tomorrow. 0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:22.800 What was the strategy there? Did the Democrats actually think 0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:26.880 they were going to win and were so blindsided by 0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:30.000 the fact that it didn't happen that they didn't quite 0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:32.000 know how to react to the result. 0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:36.640 Yeah, there may be an element of that, but there 0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:39.120 also may be an element to the fact that it 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:42.199 was late at night. You want to be on national television. 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:45.439 You want to be able to speak to all Americans, 0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:49.719 and people in Wisconsin aren't bad at midnight, they're not 0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:55.240 watching their television. Also, remember, I think if you look 0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:58.199 back four years ago, the results were not announced till 0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:03.120 Friday or Saturday. So I don't think people really anticipated 0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:08.080 that the results would be out that same night. That 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:11.640 wasn't the most likely scenario. And you want to have 0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:16.319 You also want to be able to thank your partisans 0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:19.520 who have worked so hard on your campaign and have 0:10:19.679 --> 0:10:22.240 them together in the room when you give a speech 0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:27.200 like that. This has to have been absolutely exhausting for 0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:32.319 both presidential and vice presidential candidates and their core staffs. 0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:37.000 Taking a few hours to go home, have a good 0:10:37.080 --> 0:10:41.440 night's sleep, and come and address the nation properly. That's fine. 0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:49.280 Stephen Trump now has ten thousand staffer positions to fill. Famously, 0:10:49.280 --> 0:10:53.320 in twenty sixteen, during the first Trump administration, he was 0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:56.280 an outsider. He wasn't supposed to win in the first place, 0:10:56.320 --> 0:10:59.120 and there was quite a scramble for him to feel 0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:00.600 those saints. 0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:02.960 Where's the sense. 0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:06.520 That you get the majority of those will be filled 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:10.720 by now? I imagine most of them are already spoken for, 0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:14.160 carved up by the power brokers. 0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:18.880 Well, you're right. In twenty sixteen, I think there was 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:22.599 a very different approach. Trump did bring in quite a 0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:27.960 few loyalists that filled the ranks of those positions, but 0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:32.840 particularly at Defense, at State, some of those other key 0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:37.280 national security positions. He tried to bring in really grandees 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:40.520 of the party, and that in the end didn't work 0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:43.959 for him. He ended up cleaning house on a lot 0:11:44.000 --> 0:11:47.160 of those positions. I suspect this time he'll have more 0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:52.400 settled loyalists with experience from the prior campaign. Also, you 0:11:52.400 --> 0:11:58.719 have organizations like the Heritage Foundation that have been vetting candidates. Now. 0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:02.440 I know that Trump is disavowed the Project twenty twenty five. 0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:07.920 That was probably good politics for the campaign, but ged 0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:11.640 Vance was one of the authors of that. So obviously 0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:16.360 the party and the team around him was very much 0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:19.920 involved with the Heritage Foundation in Project twenty twenty five, 0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:25.559 and that vetting process for thousands of candidates has been 0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:27.280 ongoing for some time. 0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:30.480 Well, Stephen Hendrix, I know it's very early in the 0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:33.160 morning there. We really appreciate you joining us here tonight 0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:37.120 our time. Thanks so much for your insights. Well, I reckon, 0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:40.120 we should have a look at the meltdowns because it's 0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:44.280 already begun. And why do we start with CNN. This 0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:46.600 made me laugh when I saw this. You know, the 0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:51.240 problem wasn't policy, It wasn't millions of people coming across 0:12:51.280 --> 0:12:54.600 the southern border. The problem for Kamala Harris is well, 0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:57.000 Americans just didn't know her well enough. 0:12:57.000 --> 0:12:57.760 I have to listen to this. 0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:00.920 Donald Trump hasn't runing for two years. 0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:03.760 Kamla Harris has been running for one hundred and seventy 0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:05.319 one hundred and seven days. 0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:06.559 So one of my. 0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:11.240 Big questions is, particularly with her candidacy, is whether that 0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:16.040 was just enough time to introduce herself to the country 0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:20.160 and to candidates who weren't so on running voting for 0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:23.840 a Democrat, weren't so sure about him, or whether she 0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:25.959 could have used a little bit more time. 0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:28.320 Guys, I had to laugh at this. 0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:31.800 I mean, she'd been vice president for four years, but 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:34.200 even more than that, she could have gone for three 0:13:34.240 --> 0:13:37.520 hours on Joe Rogan and introduced herself and people could 0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:40.160 have known all about her. But she preferred a ninety 0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:44.319 second skit on Saturday Night Live. She avoided every opportunity 0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:46.680 for the American people to get to know her. 0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:50.000 And we saw this during the Fox interview that she 0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:52.120 did with Brett Bayer where he got to the very 0:13:52.320 --> 0:13:55.199 end of it, one of the only long form sit 0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:58.520 down interviews that she did, and he said to her, 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:02.079 I would have really loved him more about you. You've 0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:06.800 just talked about Trump the entire time. But of course 0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:10.760 CNN is already very busy trying to come up with excuses. 0:14:11.200 --> 0:14:14.200 It's not that her policy platform was non existent and 0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:18.120 she always just kept referring people to a website saying 0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:20.520 I've got over eighty pages of policy for you to 0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:23.920 read there. It's not that she has barely a single 0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:26.880 firing neuron, and it's very obvious every time. 0:14:26.720 --> 0:14:28.160 She does open up her mouth. 0:14:28.560 --> 0:14:31.640 It's not like every single time she speaks at a 0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:34.720 ratie it is rally. It is copy paste what she 0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:37.160 said the last time and the time before that, and 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:41.520 even mainstream media's traditionally on side for the Dems, has 0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:44.400 been pulling her up. It's not got anything to do 0:14:44.480 --> 0:14:48.240 with that. It's that people didn't have enough time to 0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:52.080 find out who Kamala truly was, and if they'd only. 0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:55.560 Known, she would have could have should have won, Kayla. 0:14:55.840 --> 0:14:58.400 You know, she's not like she was vice president for 0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:02.720 nearly for you. And the funniest part about all of 0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:04.400 this is odd, you know, did she have enough time 0:15:04.440 --> 0:15:07.840 to introduce herself to the electorate. Is that if they 0:15:07.920 --> 0:15:11.400 had done this properly, that is, get rid of Biden 0:15:11.600 --> 0:15:15.320 before the DNC, long before the DNC, and gone through 0:15:15.360 --> 0:15:17.160 a primary process. 0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:18.840 The candidate. 0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:22.360 So so you say, if they had known her, she 0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:23.320 would have done even worse. 0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:26.040 Exactly exactly she would have not had in the change. 0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:30.400 Did you know her? She didn't get a single vote twenty. 0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:33.000 Precisely, she dropped out so early in the race and 0:15:33.000 --> 0:15:36.160 then basically guilted Joe Biden into saying that she should 0:15:36.200 --> 0:15:38.320 be VP because she acused him of being racist. But 0:15:38.440 --> 0:15:42.400 you mentioned CNN Jake Tapper, of course, you'll remember from 0:15:42.480 --> 0:15:46.640 the first debate with Biden and Trump have listened to 0:15:46.720 --> 0:15:52.160 him reacting to the news that Kamala Harris outperformed Joe 0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:56.000 Biden in zero states. Apparently we don't have that to 0:15:56.080 --> 0:15:58.760 grab for you just yet. But he was asked, all 0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:00.920 they bring up the map, right, and they're going through 0:16:01.360 --> 0:16:05.800 every county in the United States that has where Kamala 0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:09.840 Harris has outperformed Joe Biden, and literally, I think we've 0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:12.280 got the grab for you. Now take a look. 0:16:13.320 --> 0:16:15.960 Are there any places that the vice president is overperforming 0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:17.840 Joe Biden in twenty twenty, So we could show you 0:16:17.840 --> 0:16:18.280 that as well. 0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:21.240 We just bring that out here. Harris overperforming twenty twenty. 0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:22.760 Holy smokes, there you go. 0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:25.080 So let this go away and see if there's anything in. 0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:25.720 The East Side. 0:16:25.720 --> 0:16:30.320 There literally nothing, literally nothing, literally not one county by 0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:31.320 three percent or more. 0:16:32.760 --> 0:16:37.920 Imagine his shot literally nothing. No, Lively can't believe it. 0:16:38.000 --> 0:16:38.880 He can't believe it. 0:16:39.080 --> 0:16:41.200 Maybe Joe Biden could have won this election. 0:16:41.360 --> 0:16:43.600 But see it in so love the Democrats. 0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:46.320 That surely slipped out of his mouth before he realized 0:16:46.320 --> 0:16:47.160 what he was saying. 0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:48.520 That that was smoked. 0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:51.040 There was a genuine inflammation. 0:16:51.280 --> 0:16:52.880 He couldn't help him exactly. 0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:57.040 But check out these Democratic strategists and names. Asha Mills 0:16:57.080 --> 0:17:01.600 once again on regime media, saying, well, of course Trump's 0:17:01.680 --> 0:17:05.040 playbook one, because this is how evil it is. 0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:06.399 He's just fool people. 0:17:08.119 --> 0:17:11.840 You're talking about the propaganda campaign and the playbook of Trump. 0:17:12.760 --> 0:17:15.359 This is not new, this is not surprising. This is 0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:18.840 directly out of Hitler's playbook. This is out of an 0:17:18.920 --> 0:17:20.080 Autocrat playbook. 0:17:21.960 --> 0:17:26.159 And as a Democratic strategist, how's your strategy going, Asia? 0:17:26.440 --> 0:17:27.000 I mean, they. 0:17:26.960 --> 0:17:31.520 Still can't admit maybe this guy gave a voice to 0:17:31.560 --> 0:17:36.199 the disenfranchise. Maybe this guy kept batting it out of 0:17:36.200 --> 0:17:40.359 the park where the Democrats simply spoke about abortion, endlessly, 0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:42.680 told a pile of lies about how they're going to 0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:45.640 clean up immigration, going to build a wall on the border, 0:17:45.960 --> 0:17:49.200 all these nonsense things that people knew. You haven't done 0:17:49.240 --> 0:17:51.639 anything in four years. You're not going to do anything now. 0:17:51.920 --> 0:17:55.199 Trump speaks to what mensies here in Australia called the 0:17:55.240 --> 0:17:59.320 forgotten people, and those even those who hated him back 0:17:59.320 --> 0:18:03.840 in the day, remember that life was better under Trump. 0:18:04.160 --> 0:18:07.720 What we saw today in this red wave wasn't necessarily 0:18:07.760 --> 0:18:12.520 an Antikamala wave. I've seen so many different testimonials from people. 0:18:12.280 --> 0:18:15.040 Saying I don't like Trump as a person. 0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:18.639 I actually despise the guy that I am voting for 0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:24.080 him because my quality of life has deteriorated so significantly 0:18:24.160 --> 0:18:27.240 over the last four years. This is what I'm doing now. 0:18:27.240 --> 0:18:29.320 I feel like I have no choice left. 0:18:29.400 --> 0:18:31.640 And that was her problem. I think ultimately is that 0:18:31.720 --> 0:18:34.359 she tried to say that, you know, she was the 0:18:34.400 --> 0:18:37.879 new face of the Democrats, but being the VP, and 0:18:37.920 --> 0:18:40.040 I think the Dems will come to rue the day 0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:42.680 that they ever thought she would be the right person 0:18:42.680 --> 0:18:44.520 to put up for the job. Obviously they did it 0:18:44.520 --> 0:18:46.199 because they thought of all the people they could have 0:18:46.200 --> 0:18:49.679 put forward, she probably did have the most brand recognition 0:18:49.760 --> 0:18:53.480 available to them, but she was inextricably linked to Biden. 0:18:53.640 --> 0:18:56.840 I mean what you saw today was a repudiation of Bidenomics. 0:18:57.240 --> 0:19:00.480 It didn't work. People know it didn't work because they wallets, 0:19:00.520 --> 0:19:02.320 they look at their power bills. They know how they're 0:19:02.320 --> 0:19:05.080 doing now compared to four years ago and how they 0:19:05.080 --> 0:19:08.200 did under Trump up to eight years ago. That's what 0:19:08.240 --> 0:19:11.760 they voted against today. And Kamala could not get away 0:19:11.800 --> 0:19:16.040 from that, like she was Biden with a black female 0:19:16.040 --> 0:19:16.560 fight space. 0:19:16.760 --> 0:19:18.200 But I mean back to that grab we showed. 0:19:18.240 --> 0:19:22.680 For Democrats strategists to fall back on the Hitler story. 0:19:22.280 --> 0:19:24.400 It's done right after the election. 0:19:24.640 --> 0:19:26.720 I mean that's just shameless. 0:19:26.760 --> 0:19:29.200 And right through the election they were telling us, you know, 0:19:29.440 --> 0:19:32.920 Trump is a threat to our democracy, and someone very 0:19:32.920 --> 0:19:36.000 cleverly used AI to change all these news reports where 0:19:36.040 --> 0:19:39.479 instead of them saying our democracy through AI, they were 0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:41.399 made to say what we all knew. They really meant, 0:19:41.800 --> 0:19:44.360 our bureaucracy. It changes everything when you see it from 0:19:44.359 --> 0:19:44.879 that point of view. 0:19:44.920 --> 0:19:45.359 Have a listen. 0:19:46.280 --> 0:19:48.600 If the Democrats fail, it might be the end of 0:19:48.640 --> 0:19:49.639 American bureaucracy. 0:19:49.760 --> 0:19:52.639 Our bureaucracy really is in fundamental peril. 0:19:52.720 --> 0:19:55.680 The foundations of American bureaucracy under attack. 0:19:55.800 --> 0:19:59.160 They want to destroy our bureaucracy. We are a bureaucracy 0:19:59.240 --> 0:19:59.760 and danger. 0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:03.240 Watching an election where people are on the ballot openly 0:20:03.359 --> 0:20:05.400 advocating the end of bureaucracy. 0:20:05.520 --> 0:20:08.840 That's what Republicans are doing, attacking bureaucracy. 0:20:09.960 --> 0:20:13.280 I love that so much because they were saying our democracy, but. 0:20:13.280 --> 0:20:15.760 We were all hearing your bureaucracy. 0:20:15.800 --> 0:20:19.600 We knew exactly what was happening, and people voted accordingly, Liz. 0:20:19.600 --> 0:20:25.639 And scenes of tiery Democrats across the country was replicated 0:20:25.760 --> 0:20:27.679 at each and every watch party. 0:20:27.720 --> 0:20:27.920 They have. 0:20:28.000 --> 0:20:31.080 These watch parties they get together. It's supposed to turn 0:20:31.160 --> 0:20:35.280 into a party as you see your candidate obviously raking 0:20:35.320 --> 0:20:37.680 in the votes in each of the seats, and you're 0:20:37.760 --> 0:20:41.520 celebrating each winners at unfolds. Check out some of this 0:20:41.640 --> 0:20:46.439 footage of these completely deflated people as instead of the 0:20:46.600 --> 0:20:47.280 joy has. 0:20:47.200 --> 0:20:47.920 Left the building. 0:20:48.000 --> 0:20:52.439 Ladies and gentlemen, look at the despondency as the realization 0:20:52.840 --> 0:20:58.200 grows amongst the Democratic voting masses, we have actually not 0:20:58.240 --> 0:21:03.200 only lost this but by a landslide. Even the most 0:21:03.280 --> 0:21:09.720 avid Trump fan never saw such a comprehensive win coming. 0:21:09.800 --> 0:21:13.399 We've talked about the red wave. It finally arrived. But 0:21:13.520 --> 0:21:16.800 of course you're always going to have certain very passionate 0:21:17.200 --> 0:21:21.399 Harris Waltz fans that are completely losing their minds to 0:21:21.560 --> 0:21:26.800 learn that they have woken up in a new Trump presidency. 0:21:26.920 --> 0:21:29.919 But when it comes to guys who simply can't handle 0:21:29.960 --> 0:21:33.400 this fact, I think this fella takes the cake. 0:21:35.200 --> 0:21:39.879 Okay, you're gonna win this good day of Jesus Christ. 0:21:40.000 --> 0:21:41.040 I'm shake missed off. 0:21:43.920 --> 0:21:50.840 God damn it. Cry harder, Liberals, ry harder. 0:21:51.040 --> 0:21:54.280 You've met the forty seventh President of the United States 0:21:54.320 --> 0:21:57.240 of America and he's going to make America greater for 0:21:57.400 --> 0:21:58.240 you too. 0:21:58.680 --> 0:21:59.760 But you've got to love it. 0:21:59.800 --> 0:22:02.960 These scenes. We're gonna have countless scenes. We could probably 0:22:02.960 --> 0:22:06.040 do an hour long show just of the meltdown that 0:22:06.200 --> 0:22:08.600 is going to follow on the dawn of tomorrow. 0:22:08.640 --> 0:22:11.000 When I find out whoever removed the tissue box that 0:22:11.119 --> 0:22:13.360 usually sits next to me here at the desk, I'm 0:22:13.359 --> 0:22:15.359 going to give him a slap across the chops, because 0:22:15.400 --> 0:22:18.600 you know, I just want to pull about my eyes 0:22:18.640 --> 0:22:21.240 off for these poor people. And because it's not just 0:22:21.280 --> 0:22:24.840 in the United statey No, No, it's here at home. 0:22:25.119 --> 0:22:27.439 I mean, in fact, in some cases it's even worse 0:22:27.840 --> 0:22:31.199 here in Australia because because Australians are obviously just some 0:22:31.280 --> 0:22:33.560 to be removed from what's going on in the US. 0:22:33.760 --> 0:22:37.479 A lot of people don't actually understand why Trump wins, right, 0:22:37.560 --> 0:22:39.360 I mean they just look at go the Orange Man 0:22:39.480 --> 0:22:41.840 bad and they hear the hitless stuff and whatever, and 0:22:41.840 --> 0:22:44.320 they're literally like, what is wrong with America? Are they 0:22:44.359 --> 0:22:46.879 all crazy over there? How could they possibly vote for 0:22:46.920 --> 0:22:49.280 Donald Trump? Because they're not living through what Americans are 0:22:49.280 --> 0:22:52.479 living through our own. Adam Bant, the leader of the Greens, 0:22:52.520 --> 0:22:56.120 I mean, he is just off the reservation. Haven't listened 0:22:56.119 --> 0:22:59.080 to what he tweeted. He said, my heart is with 0:22:59.160 --> 0:23:02.120 every person in the USA and around the world who 0:23:02.119 --> 0:23:08.960 feels justifiable terror. Tonight, hold your luck ones close. Tomorrow 0:23:09.040 --> 0:23:12.960 we pick ourselves up and we continue the fight hate 0:23:13.160 --> 0:23:17.800 will not win. Hold your loved ones close, as though 0:23:17.800 --> 0:23:21.760
