[00:00:00] All righty, folks. After an excellent [00:00:02] week, why not spend the weekend watching [00:00:03] the left squirm just a little bit more? [00:00:05] Matt Walsh's MIRist, the number one [00:00:07] documentary of the decade, is streaming [00:00:08] exclusively at DailyWire Plus. Not a [00:00:10] member yet. Head on over to [00:00:11] dailywire.com/subscribe. [00:00:12] Use code Trump for 47% off your new [00:00:15] annual membership. So, in just a little [00:00:17] while, we're going to be joined by the [00:00:19] brand new senator from the state of [00:00:20] Montana, Tim Sheihi. I had the privilege [00:00:21] of joining him on the campaign trail [00:00:23] during the campaign. That dude is [00:00:25] amazing. He's just terrific. We're going [00:00:26] to have him on in a little while. But [00:00:29] let's begin with more winning because [00:00:30] let's let's be real again. I am [00:00:32] unaccustomed to this level of optimism. [00:00:34] It's giving me a bit of indigestion. I [00:00:36] got to be honest with you. Maybe it's [00:00:37] the lack of sleep. Maybe it's the fact [00:00:38] that I could only eat vegan food when I [00:00:40] was in Tennessee. But whatever the [00:00:42] rationale, [00:00:44] maybe Pepto-Bismol fixes the optimism. I [00:00:46] don't know what the story is. Bottom [00:00:47] line is, I'm a little optimistic because [00:00:49] President Trump keeps making good [00:00:50] decisions. It's almost as though all the [00:00:52] myths that we were told about how Donald [00:00:54] Trump was going to come into office and [00:00:55] then immediately staff up complete [00:00:57] idiots around himself, it's almost as [00:00:59] though those were untrue. And we were [00:01:01] told that by the most intelligent [00:01:02] people. After all, Donald Trump had [00:01:04] fired people like General James Mattis. [00:01:07] After all, Donald Trump had been at odds [00:01:08] with so many members of his prior [00:01:10] administration. There would be no one [00:01:11] left. He would be forced to dip into the [00:01:13] bottom of the barrel. And thus far, I [00:01:15] see precisely zero evidence that that is [00:01:18] indeed the case. The people who are [00:01:19] apparently doing the staffing on a wide [00:01:22] variety of issues include people like [00:01:24] the vice president of the United States [00:01:25] elect JD Vance. Don Jr. is on that team. [00:01:28] Eric is on that. Eric Trump is on that [00:01:30] team. You also have a bunch of Trump [00:01:31] world insiders like Susie Wilds, like [00:01:34] people like like Brian Hook is is [00:01:36] involved in the foreign policy team. In [00:01:37] other words, the people who are going to [00:01:39] go into the Trump administration are not [00:01:40] going to be jokers. They're going to be [00:01:42] very serious people with a very serious [00:01:44] portfolio. [00:01:46] As mentioned, Donald Trump late [00:01:47] yesterday announced that he would be [00:01:48] tamping the campaign co-manager. Susie [00:01:50] Wilds is the White House chief of staff. [00:01:52] Susie Wild is a very serious person. [00:01:53] She's well respected on all sides of the [00:01:55] political spectrum inside the Republican [00:01:57] party. Jeb Bush has endorsed everyone [00:01:58] from Jeb Bush all the way to Donald [00:02:00] Trump has endorsed Susie Wilds as chief [00:02:01] of staff. She's a very serious politico. [00:02:03] She obviously worked not only with [00:02:04] Trump, but with Rick Scott down here [00:02:06] when he was governor of Florida, with [00:02:07] Governor DeSantis, when he was running [00:02:09] for governor of Florida, then she went [00:02:10] back into the Trump campaign. She is [00:02:12] wily. She is savvy and she is knife [00:02:15] sharp. I mean, she she is really a a a a [00:02:18] solid political fighter. According to [00:02:20] the Wall Street Journal, Susie Wilds, [00:02:21] who led President Trump's presidential [00:02:23] run, will become his White House chief [00:02:24] of staff when he retakes the presidency [00:02:26] next year, the campaign said on [00:02:27] Thursday, making her the first woman to [00:02:28] hold that role in American history. [00:02:30] Remember that time when he wouldn't [00:02:32] surround himself with strong women, [00:02:33] according to Mark Cuban? Yeah, I feel [00:02:35] like he's um I feel like she's a woman. [00:02:37] I don't know. Just going to put that out [00:02:39] there. Trump said in a statement, "Susie [00:02:40] Wows just helped me achieve one of the [00:02:42] greatest political victories in American [00:02:43] history and was an integral part of both [00:02:44] my 2016 and 2020 successful campaigns. [00:02:47] Susie is tough, smart, innovative, and [00:02:48] universally admired and respected. Susie [00:02:50] will continue to work tirelessly to make [00:02:52] America great again. It is a [00:02:53] well-deserved honor to have Susie as the [00:02:55] first ever female chief of staff in US [00:02:56] history. I have no doubt she will make [00:02:58] our country proud. Again, she keeps her [00:03:00] cars real close to the vest. She's [00:03:03] incredibly savvy and she is not the type [00:03:06] of person who is going to take kindly to [00:03:09] people who do not have team Trump's best [00:03:12] interests at heart. So that is an [00:03:13] excellent pick by President Trump. [00:03:15] Again, she's well respected on pretty [00:03:17] much every side of the Republican [00:03:18] political spectrum. [00:03:20] Now, the question as to how she [00:03:22] negotiates in Congress, that one is [00:03:24] still open. Usually, the chief of staff [00:03:25] has a lot of congressional negotiations. [00:03:26] The good news for her is that while she [00:03:28] doesn't have tons of experience at doing [00:03:30] that because again she was campaign [00:03:31] manager in 2016 and 2020 in part and she [00:03:34] didn't really involve herself in [00:03:35] legislative affairs, she will be [00:03:37] negotiating with Mike Johnson in the [00:03:39] House. In the Senate, the Senate [00:03:40] leadership battle is still wide open at [00:03:43] this point. There's a lot of speculation [00:03:44] about who is going to take over as the [00:03:46] Senate majority leader because Mitch [00:03:47] McConnell has announced he's going to [00:03:48] step down. There's some rumors that Rick [00:03:51] Scott, for example, is is trying to run [00:03:53] for it. Those are more than rumors he [00:03:54] does want the Senate majority leadership [00:03:56] position. There's some members of the [00:03:57] base who are are very hot on on Rick [00:03:59] Scott. So, he's a possibility. John Thun [00:04:01] is a very solid possibility. Most of the [00:04:03] more established members of the US [00:04:04] Senate are probably going to back Thoon [00:04:06] or John Cornin. Honestly, any of those [00:04:08] people will be perfectly capable of [00:04:09] negotiating with President Trump and [00:04:11] we'll do a fine job in that role. Okay. [00:04:13] Meanwhile, President-elect Trump and his [00:04:15] senior advisers are privately assembling [00:04:17] short lists of candidates for top jobs [00:04:18] in the incoming administration. And [00:04:20] apparently Trump's transition team, [00:04:21] according to the Wall Street Journal, is [00:04:23] being led by co-chair Howard Lutnik, who [00:04:25] is of course involved in the campaign. [00:04:26] He's overseeing personnel. He's put [00:04:28] together spreadsheets with names for the [00:04:29] former president to consider. [00:04:32] Among the people who are who are being [00:04:34] considered, national security adviser, [00:04:35] the names that are coming up are Rich [00:04:37] Richard Grenell. Rick Grenell, we all [00:04:39] know him obviously. He was Trump's [00:04:40] former ambassador to Germany and acting [00:04:41] director of national intelligence. Rick [00:04:43] would do an amazing job in that role. [00:04:45] Other potential candidates include Keith [00:04:47] Kellogg, an oxygenerian and retired [00:04:48] three-star Army general and former NSA [00:04:50] to VO vice president Mike Pence, former [00:04:53] defense department official Elbridge KBY [00:04:54] and Robert O'Brien, who was the last NSA [00:04:56] under Donald Trump. [00:04:59] Some of the people mentioned for [00:05:00] Treasury Secretary include Scott [00:05:01] Bessant, Keyscore Group founder, as well [00:05:04] as billionaire investor John Pollson, [00:05:06] Secretary of State. A few of the [00:05:08] possibilities mentioned are Senator Bill [00:05:10] Hagerty of Tennessee as well as Senator [00:05:13] Marco Rubio of Florida. Both of those [00:05:15] would be excellent picks. Other [00:05:17] potential candidates include O'Brien [00:05:19] Grenell and former senior State [00:05:20] Department official Brian Hook, who is [00:05:22] largely seen as the person compiling [00:05:24] lists on who precisely should go into [00:05:26] the foreign policy establishment. We'll [00:05:28] get to Brian Hook in just a moment [00:05:30] because he's been speaking publicly [00:05:31] about what the administration's Iran [00:05:32] policy is, and it is already bearing [00:05:34] fruit. They haven't even taken office [00:05:35] yet, and action is already happening [00:05:37] happening to bring down conflict in the [00:05:40] Middle East. As far as Secretary of [00:05:42] Defense, some names that have been [00:05:43] thrown out. former Secretary of State [00:05:45] Mike Pompeo. Trump did give him a shout [00:05:46] out, as you'll recall, Wednesday morning [00:05:48] in his victory speech in Florida. Also, [00:05:51] Republican Representative John [00:05:52] Ratcliffe, who has served as Trump's [00:05:54] DNI, is being put forward as a possible [00:05:57] DoD head or CIA head. Mike Wall, a [00:06:00] congressman from Florida. He also is [00:06:03] being considered as a possible DoD [00:06:05] leader. Homeland Security, we're hearing [00:06:07] Chad Wolf, who'd be great. We're hearing [00:06:08] Tom Hman, who would be great. The bottom [00:06:10] line is all of these names are good. [00:06:13] Legitimately, all of these names would [00:06:14] be not just acceptable, but excellent. [00:06:17] And the markets are picking up on this. [00:06:19] Okay. Washington is open for business, [00:06:21] as Axios puts it. Mark Andre, an [00:06:23] investor who backed President Trump in [00:06:25] this race, he tweeted out this morning [00:06:28] that he believes that we are going to be [00:06:29] seeing unprecedented economic growth. He [00:06:31] says, quote, "America's in an economic [00:06:33] coiled spring. We should be growing at [00:06:34] least 4% annually, ideally 6 to 8%. [00:06:37] Growth has been brutally suppressed [00:06:38] since before I was born. There's so much [00:06:40] to build. The payoff for all Americans [00:06:41] will be incredible." That is the mood in [00:06:43] the business community. As Axios [00:06:45] reports, buckle up. President-elect [00:06:46] Trump plans fast action on a [00:06:48] businessfriendly agenda of tax cuts, [00:06:49] deregulation, and expanded energy [00:06:51] production, his advisers tell us. [00:06:54] By the way, all of this stuff does have [00:06:57] a downward effect on inflation because [00:06:59] when you have more productivity, that [00:07:00] means more supply and that then keeps up [00:07:02] with demand and then the prices drop. [00:07:04] Deregulation means more investment. It [00:07:06] means economic growth. It means more [00:07:08] innovation. According to Axios, Trump [00:07:10] plans to load his White House and [00:07:12] cabinet with business and tech friendly [00:07:14] executives and stretch the powers of the [00:07:15] presidency to force quick changes. [00:07:18] Behind the scenes, Trump advisers [00:07:20] believe they wasted early opportunities [00:07:22] to grow the economy in his first term [00:07:24] because they didn't know how to staff. [00:07:25] See, this is the nice thing. Trump term [00:07:26] two, they know exactly who they have to [00:07:28] fire. Trump is going to take office with [00:07:31] a triumvirate. He'll have the House, [00:07:32] he'll have the Senate. He's going to [00:07:34] fill his top ranks with actual business [00:07:36] leaders. [00:07:38] The courts are largely going to support [00:07:39] him. The people picking staff include [00:07:42] Elon Musk, Mark Andre, David Saxs, and [00:07:44] Joe Lansdale. My goodness, what a team [00:07:47] that's going to be. You want to talk [00:07:48] about growing the economy? You want to [00:07:49] talk about a productivity explosion? You [00:07:51] want to talk about people who know how [00:07:52] to build businesses and how markets [00:07:53] work? You're not going to do better than [00:07:55] that group of people. [00:07:57] Honestly, they're all great. [00:08:00] Meanwhile, [00:08:02] the other power players are Howard [00:08:04] Lutnik, chairman and CEO of Counter [00:08:06] Fitzgerald, and Linda McMahon, who [00:08:07] headed the Small Business Administration [00:08:09] during Trump's first term. You're [00:08:11] watching a bunch of CEOs come out [00:08:13] basically celebrating Trump's win. Jeff [00:08:16] Bezos congratulated him. Obviously, he [00:08:20] wasn't the only one. You're starting to [00:08:23] see business people get real [00:08:24] enthusiastic about what is coming down [00:08:26] the pike, and they should be. [00:08:29] Meanwhile, some of the supposed [00:08:31] regulators, the more extreme regulators, [00:08:35] they're going to be gone. So, for [00:08:36] example, Gary Gensler, who's been awful. [00:08:38] He's the head of the Securities and [00:08:39] Exchanges Commission. He he's been [00:08:41] focused largely on preventing business [00:08:43] from making investment. [00:08:46] Wall Street executives are happy to see [00:08:47] him go. He is going to be tossed out [00:08:49] immediately. [00:08:50] Some of the possibilities to replace him [00:08:53] would be Dan Gallagher, chief legal [00:08:54] officer at Robin Hood, and previous SEC [00:08:56] commissioner. [00:08:58] Meanwhile, over at the Consumer [00:08:59] Financial Protection Bureau, which is [00:09:00] Elizabeth Warren's [00:09:02] Orwellian institution to crack down on [00:09:05] the markets, [00:09:06] Trump is going to install a new leader [00:09:08] at the CFPB. [00:09:11] One name that has been floated is Todd [00:09:12] Zuiki, a law professor at George Mason [00:09:14] University. [00:09:17] The Federal Deposit Insurance [00:09:19] Corporation, FDIC. The chairman resigned [00:09:22] in May. Now, the Trump administration is [00:09:25] poised to loosen the reigns somewhat at [00:09:26] the FDI to allow banks to actually do [00:09:28] their business. [00:09:30] And it is going to be a boom time in [00:09:32] American life. Everybody who's in [00:09:33] business knows it. Meanwhile, Elon Musk [00:09:35] is going to go in there and he's going [00:09:36] to start cutting. According to the Wall [00:09:38] Street Journal, lessons from the Elon [00:09:40] Musk School of Management shed light on [00:09:42] how the billionaire will go about [00:09:43] slashing government spending in a new [00:09:44] Trump White House. [00:09:47] We know, for example, that when Elon [00:09:48] Musk took over X, he fired 80% of the [00:09:51] workforce. Increasing efficiency is [00:09:53] something that Elon Musk is very much [00:09:55] familiar with. [00:09:57] Now again, he's not going to be able to [00:09:58] cut trillions of dollars from the [00:09:59] budget, but there will be a rare a rare [00:10:02] window of opportunity to pursue spending [00:10:04] cuts for sure. And Musk is going to go [00:10:06] through and a lot of these government [00:10:08] contracts were done on a no bid basis. [00:10:10] You could see him reopen all of that and [00:10:12] bring down costs solely on that basis as [00:10:14] well. Meanwhile, federal workers are [00:10:16] preparing for cuts and they're preparing [00:10:17] for the possibility of force relocation [00:10:19] because Donald Trump is talking about [00:10:21] taking many of these departments and [00:10:22] moving them outside of Washington DC, [00:10:24] which is great. Gets rid of the entire [00:10:27] swamp entirely. [00:10:29] So, what you would see presumably is [00:10:30] like the Department of Agriculture would [00:10:32] move out. You would see other [00:10:34] departments moved out of Washington DC. [00:10:37] Schedule F would strip job protections [00:10:39] from many career federal employees in [00:10:41] policy roles. [00:10:43] So get ready. Trumps are coming and the [00:10:46] boom is coming as well. As the Wall [00:10:49] Street Journal says, Wall Street has [00:10:50] rarely been more excited by an election. [00:10:52] US stocks as capitalization rose by 1.62 [00:10:55] trillion dollars on Wednesday, their [00:10:56] fifth best one-day showing ever [00:10:58] following Donald Trump's decisive [00:11:00] election victory. Investors are [00:11:01] celebrating, said Jack Ablin, the chief [00:11:03] investment officer at Crescent Capital [00:11:04] in Chicago. The enthusiasm is especially [00:11:07] heated in a few areas. Banks and other [00:11:09] financial companies climbed. Investors [00:11:11] expect regulatory scrutiny will ease. [00:11:14] Some also expect more deal. All of this [00:11:17] is going to change. All of it is going [00:11:19] to be better. [00:11:21] In just one moment, we're going to be [00:11:22] joined by the brand new senator from [00:11:24] Montana. [00:11:25] That is coming momentarily. First, ever [00:11:28] feel like you're being watched on the [00:11:29] internet. Unfortunately, you're not just [00:11:30] being paranoid. You are indeed being [00:11:32] monitored every single time you go [00:11:33] online. Internet service providers can [00:11:35] see every single website you visit. In [00:11:37] the United States, they're even allowed [00:11:38] to sell your browsing history. And yes, [00:11:39] that includes everything you do inside [00:11:41] that so-called incognito tab. You need [00:11:43] to protect yourself. The way I do it is [00:11:45] with ExpressVPN, an easy to use app that [00:11:47] encrypts and rebroots all my internet [00:11:49] traffic through secure servers. When I [00:11:50] use ExpressVPN, my internet provider [00:11:52] can't see what I'm doing online, which [00:11:54] means they've got nothing to sell to [00:11:55] advertisers. They also can't track my IP [00:11:57] address. You know, that unique number [00:11:58] that identifies you on the internet. [00:12:00] Without access to my IP address, those [00:12:02] data brokers can't build a profile about [00:12:03] me or sell my information to marketers. [00:12:06] Finally, [00:12:07] my data stays exactly where it should [00:12:10] with me. The best part, you don't need [00:12:11] to be techsavvy to use it. ExpressVPN is [00:12:13] as simple as tapping one button. They've [00:12:15] got apps for everything. Your phone, [00:12:16] laptop, desktop, tablet, whatever device [00:12:18] you've got, they've covered it. No [00:12:19] wonder it's the top rated VPN by tech [00:12:21] experts at CNET, The Verge, and pretty [00:12:23] much every other major tech review site. [00:12:25] Right now, you can take advantage of [00:12:26] ExpressVPN's Black Friday Cyber Monday [00:12:29] offer to get the absolute best VPN deal [00:12:31] you'll find all year.

Also, did you know [00:12:44] American homeowners collectively hold [00:12:45] over $32 trillion in equity? [00:12:49] Unfortunately, cyber criminals are [00:12:50] increasingly targeting this wealth [00:12:51] through a scam the FBI calls house [00:12:53] stealing. Traditional security measures [00:12:55] like house alarms, doorbell cameras, [00:12:56] deadbolts can't protect you because [00:12:57] these thieves aren't actually after your [00:12:59] belongings. They're after your equity [00:13:00] itself. Without title monitoring, [00:13:03] scammers can turn transfer your home's [00:13:04] title to their name using a simple [00:13:06] document filed at the county office. [00:13:08] Once they control your title, they can [00:13:09] take out loans against your property or [00:13:11] even sell it without your knowledge. The [00:13:13] most frightening part, many victims [00:13:14] don't discover the theft until [00:13:15] collection notices or foreclosure [00:13:17] warnings arrive in their mailbox.

Already, Team Trump is [00:14:07] announcing a maximum pressure campaign [00:14:08] against Iran, which of course is the [00:14:10] proper strategy against Iran. They're [00:14:12] going to dramatically increase sanctions [00:14:14] on Iran. They're going to throttle its [00:14:15] oil sales as part of an aggressive [00:14:16] strategy to undercut Tahran's support of [00:14:19] violent med proxies and its nuclear [00:14:20] program. According to people briefed on [00:14:22] President Trump's early plans, when he [00:14:25] takes office on January 20th, Trump's [00:14:26] approach to Iran is likely to be colored [00:14:28] by the knowledge that his agents tried [00:14:29] to assassinate him and former top [00:14:30] national security aids after they left [00:14:32] office. Plus, Iran is believing to be [00:14:34] seeking revenge for the 2020 Trump drone [00:14:36] strike that killed Solmani, the head of [00:14:38] Iran's covert paramilitary operations. [00:14:41] People tend to take that tough people [00:14:42] tend to take that stuff personally, said [00:14:44] Mick Mroy, a top Pentagon official for [00:14:46] the Middle East in Trump's first term. [00:14:47] If he's going to be hawkish on any [00:14:48] particular country designated major [00:14:50] adversaries, it is in fact Iran. They're [00:14:53] going to choke off Iran's oil income. [00:14:55] They're going to diplomatically isolate [00:14:57] Iran. Brian Hook, who oversaw Iran [00:15:00] policy at the State Department in [00:15:01] Trump's first term, is now in charge of [00:15:02] the Trump transition for the State [00:15:04] Department, said Thursday, the [00:15:05] president-elect had no interest in [00:15:06] seeking to overthrow Iran's rulers. But [00:15:08] of course, what he means by that is that [00:15:10] the conditions are going to made ripe [00:15:12] for the Iranian people to do what they [00:15:13] should do and overthrow Iran's rulers. [00:15:15] Here is Brian Hook again, former top [00:15:17] State Department official. He's going to [00:15:18] be in charge apparently of not just Iran [00:15:20] policy, but staffing of the State [00:15:22] Department. That place needs to be [00:15:23] cleaned out stem to stern. It is rife [00:15:26] with foreign policy dil. And Brian Hook [00:15:29] needs to go in there with a chainsaw to [00:15:31] start cutting people. Here's Brian Hook [00:15:33] explaining about foreign policy. [00:15:36] But in my personal experience, I know [00:15:38] that when we deter the Iranian regime, [00:15:41] you have the countries that you [00:15:43] described [00:15:44] um who are on the front lines of Iranian [00:15:47] aggression doing everything they can to [00:15:49] be a part of that deterring Iran. [00:15:52] President Trump has no interest in [00:15:54] regime change. The future of Iran will [00:15:56] be decided by the Iranian people. I [00:15:58] think we've said that repeatedly over [00:16:00] four years. But what President Trump did [00:16:02] say in Riad was that we will he would [00:16:05] isolate Iran diplomatically and weaken [00:16:08] them economically so that they can't [00:16:10] fund all of the violence that's going [00:16:13] with the Houthis in Yemen, Hamas, [00:16:16] Hezbollah, PI, and these proxies that [00:16:18] run around Iraq and Syria today. All of [00:16:21] whom destabilize Israel and our Gulf [00:16:23] partners. [00:16:25] He of course is exactly correct about [00:16:27] all of that. Now the anchor over at CNN [00:16:29] and asked about well how are you going [00:16:30] to do the Abraham Accords when the [00:16:31] Saudis have said that they want a [00:16:33] Palestinian state and Brian Hook [00:16:35] properly says hey we provided a peace [00:16:37] plan when we were in office was the [00:16:38] Jared Kushner peace plan and it provided [00:16:40] a Palestinian state possibility after a [00:16:42] bunch of conditions and we were ready to [00:16:44] move forward with that. That's the plan [00:16:45] we're going to use moving forward here. [00:16:48] If you look at the the really important [00:16:50] work that Jared Kushner did when he was [00:16:53] um essentially leading so much of the [00:16:55] diplomacy in the Middle East, he put [00:16:58] forward a political and economic vision [00:17:01] for peace between the Israelis and the [00:17:03] Palestinians that many Arab governments [00:17:06] officially said was a credible goodfaith [00:17:09] effort and they called for both sides to [00:17:12] come to the table. That plan, which [00:17:15] Israel endorsed, had a path to a [00:17:17] two-state solution. [00:17:19] This war, the October 7th attack by [00:17:22] Hamas, has really not put anybody in [00:17:25] much of a mood to be talking about this [00:17:27] subject because obviously Hamas doesn't [00:17:29] believe in a two-state solution, nor do [00:17:31] they want a ceasefire. And after what [00:17:33] Hamas did on October 7th, there are many [00:17:35] Israelis right now who are focused on [00:17:37] other things, specifically keeping them [00:17:40] safe from this kind of evil terrorism [00:17:43] that they endured on October 7th. [00:17:46] That is a realistic view of the [00:17:48] situation. And let us be real about [00:17:49] something. The reason that the Saudi [00:17:51] foreign minister has been talking about [00:17:52] the Palestinian state so much is because [00:17:54] Joe Biden has been talking about the [00:17:55] Palestinian state so much. It's not [00:17:57] possible for the Saudi kingdom to be [00:17:59] anti-Palestinian state more than the [00:18:02] Americans. [00:18:03] Well, the reality is, do you think the [00:18:05] Saudis want a Palestinian state that [00:18:06] will be sponsored, funded, giant terror [00:18:08] apparatus against Saudi? Because that's [00:18:11] that's who would be Iran would be [00:18:12] funding that. That would be an Iranian [00:18:13] proxy state. You think Saudi wants that? [00:18:15] You think anyone in the region wants [00:18:16] that except for Iran? The answer of [00:18:17] course is no. You know how I know that? [00:18:20] Because Jordan is 70% Palestinian. [00:18:22] Anytime they want, they could have a [00:18:23] Palestinian state by holding an [00:18:24] election. You know why they won't? [00:18:25] Because the minute they do hold an [00:18:26] election, every member of the Hashemite [00:18:28] dynasty will be hanging from a crane. [00:18:30] That is the reason. Okay. By the way, [00:18:32] the the Biden administration on their [00:18:34] way out there doing precisely what you [00:18:35] would think. They've set the world on [00:18:37] fire. They did. Particularly in the [00:18:38] Middle East, they set the world on fire. [00:18:40] You can tell that the stark difference [00:18:42] between the Trump administration 2.0 and [00:18:45] the Biden administration. I mean, it is [00:18:46] astonishing. It's truly amazing. So, [00:18:49] Trump wins within one day. Within one [00:18:52] day, Qatar, which is a cutout for the [00:18:54] Iranian regime, Qatar sort of plays this [00:18:56] weird middle of the road path with [00:18:58] regard to Iran, where they take they [00:19:00] share oil fields with Iran. They're very [00:19:02] friendly with Iran, but they then try to [00:19:03] present themselves as negotiators with [00:19:05] the West, which is why you'll see Qatar [00:19:07] Airways that is advertised in Western [00:19:09] stadiums and all the rest of this sort [00:19:10] of stuff. Well, Qatar, knowing that [00:19:11] Trump is coming in, has apparently, [00:19:13] according to Khan News, which is [00:19:14] Israel's public broadcast system, has [00:19:16] now notified Hamas officials staying in [00:19:18] Qatar, they are no longer welcome, and [00:19:20] they must immediately make preparations [00:19:22] to depart. [00:19:24] That's all it took was Donald Trump [00:19:27] winning. He didn't have to do anything. [00:19:29] And Qatar was like, "Oh man, he's going [00:19:30] to come in. He's going to punish us for [00:19:32] for being friendly with Hamas, isn't he? [00:19:33] Probably should kick these people to the [00:19:34] curb." [00:19:36] It just shows you what a change the [00:19:38] Trump administration is from the Biden [00:19:40] administration. What's the Biden [00:19:42] administration doing? Well, meanwhile, [00:19:43] according to the Washington Free Beacon, [00:19:45] just before Tuesday's presidential [00:19:46] election, the Biden Harris [00:19:48] administration quietly waved mandatory [00:19:50] terrorism sanctions on the embattled [00:19:52] Palestinian government, even as it [00:19:53] determined the government's leaders are [00:19:54] paying imprisoned terrorists and [00:19:56] fermenting violence in breach of [00:19:57] American law. The State Department in a [00:19:59] non-public notice to Congress determined [00:20:01] that the Palestinian Authority and [00:20:02] Palestine Liberation Organization are [00:20:04] not complying with agreements to curb [00:20:06] terrorism against Israel and to end [00:20:07] their so-called pay to slave program, [00:20:09] which hands money to imprison terrorists [00:20:11] for killing Jews. Those violations [00:20:13] should trigger American sanctions. But [00:20:15] the Biden Harris administration used its [00:20:17] executive power to wave the sanctions. [00:20:19] So they are removing sanctions from the [00:20:21] terror sponsoring Palestine Liberation [00:20:23] Organization and Palestinian Authority. [00:20:27] The State Department told Congress, [00:20:28] quote, "A blanket denial of visas to PLO [00:20:30] members and PA officials to include [00:20:32] those who travel to the US in advance to [00:20:33] advance US goals and objectives is not [00:20:35] consistent with US government's [00:20:36] expressed willingness to partner with [00:20:38] the PLO and PA leadership. [00:20:41] And not coincidentally, it turns out the [00:20:43] Biden administration's willingness to [00:20:45] humor all of the stupidity and garbage [00:20:48] trotted out by Hamas and its media [00:20:50] allies has real consequences. [00:20:52] So last night there was a pagram over in [00:20:55] Amsterdam. So while you have complete [00:21:00] mentally ill people like Jen Rubin over [00:21:02] at the Washington Post declaring that [00:21:04] Donald Trump, the most pro-Israel [00:21:05] president in American history, who won a [00:21:08] giant chunk of Jews in New York, in New [00:21:10] Jersey, in Florida, in Pennsylvania, in [00:21:13] Michigan, [00:21:15] while she declares that he's Hitler, [00:21:17] actual little Hitlers are running around [00:21:18] in the streets of Amsterdam beating up [00:21:20] Jews. That's exactly what happened last [00:21:22] night in Amsterdam. So what happened is [00:21:24] that there was a soccer match between a [00:21:28] soccer team called Makabi Tel Aviv and [00:21:31] Ajax which is a which is a national team [00:21:34] in Amsterdam based in Amsterdam. And on [00:21:37] the way in, apparently there the some of [00:21:40] the Israeli fans were shouting rude [00:21:42] things about the I guess there was some [00:21:44] sort of scrum in which Israelis and and [00:21:46] Palestinian advocates were shouting at [00:21:48] each other and some Palestinian flags [00:21:49] which had been put out there in order to [00:21:50] take off the Israelis were torn down. [00:21:52] None of that's good. What is an actual [00:21:54] program is what happened after the [00:21:55] match. So after the match, apparently [00:21:57] Israelis and Jews walk out of the match. [00:21:59] They're not protected by police outside [00:22:01] the stadium. And from what I am told by [00:22:04] people who are on the ground, there were [00:22:05] bands of young radical Muslims at [00:22:10] basically every street corner waiting [00:22:11] for people to attack them. And so you [00:22:14] end up with film like this in Amsterdam. [00:22:22] They're literally running after people [00:22:23] in the streets and attacking them in the [00:22:26] streets of Amsterdam. Went on for like [00:22:28] an hour and a half with almost no police [00:22:30] response. [00:22:32] You can see there a Jewish man [00:22:34] presumably being [00:22:35] kicked in the street. [00:22:42] Where are you going? [00:22:44] Where are you going? [00:22:46] Where are you going? [00:22:47] Saged Barzani, according to the Wall [00:22:49] Street Journal, a fan who attended the [00:22:50] game said that he and other Israelis [00:22:51] fell to the ground as they tried to [00:22:52] escape the attackers. A planned [00:22:54] demonstration against the Israeli team [00:22:56] had been moved away from the stadium. [00:22:57] Protesters still tried to go there and [00:22:58] then clashed with police after the game. [00:23:00] According to Barzani, his head was [00:23:02] stomped on as people chanted, "Free [00:23:03] Palestine." One van was being punched in [00:23:05] the face, another one being cut in the [00:23:06] face with a key. I thought I was going [00:23:08] to die. Everyone was running like crazy. [00:23:10] People were being thrown into the canals [00:23:11] of Amsterdam. [00:23:14] People were punching and kicking people, [00:23:16] including in Amsterdam's central damn [00:23:18] square. One clip filmed from inside a [00:23:20] car driving on the sidewalk showed it [00:23:21] hitting a pedestrian who rolls over it [00:23:22] and onto the ground as a voice is heard [00:23:24] saying, "Drive over him." Another video [00:23:26] showed a man trying to offer his money [00:23:27] to asalants who screamed for the [00:23:29] children and free Palestine now. [00:23:34] So again, just wonderful behavior here [00:23:37] by uh by the pro kamassnik who have now [00:23:40] spread throughout the west is when when [00:23:43] you're running around the streets [00:23:44] beating up Jews that that's what you [00:23:45] call a pgram. That is that is [00:23:46] legitimately like the definition of a [00:23:48] pgram at this point. It was so bad that [00:23:50] the king of the king of the Netherlands, [00:23:52] William Alexander, called up the Israeli [00:23:54] president, Isaac Herszog, and [00:23:57] apologized. He said, quote, "We failed [00:23:58] the Jewish community of the Netherlands [00:24:00] during World War II. And last night, we [00:24:01] failed again." Early this morning, Dutch [00:24:04] Prime Minister Dick Schu updated the [00:24:05] president on all actions being taken and [00:24:07] added his strong condemnation of the [00:24:08] incidents. [00:24:10] Meanwhile, Gert Wilders, who of course [00:24:13] has been the big winner of the last [00:24:16] election in the Netherlands, he said, "I [00:24:18] just spoke by phone with Israeli Prime [00:24:20] Minister BB Netanyahu and told him of my [00:24:22] anger and shame on what happened in [00:24:24] Amsterdam. There's no place for [00:24:25] anti-semitism and Jew in the [00:24:27] Netherlands. I will do all I can to [00:24:28] protect Jews and stop and expel Islamic [00:24:30] radicals." [00:24:32] He also added [00:24:34] that this is the consequence of what [00:24:36] happens when you allow unchecked radical [00:24:38] Islamic immigration into your country. [00:24:41] He says they govern for 10 years and [00:24:43] look the other way for 10 years. We're [00:24:45] not allowed to talk about Islam as a [00:24:46] source of anti-semitism. They did not [00:24:47] dare to kick criminals out of the [00:24:49] country and now we have a Jew hunt in [00:24:50] Amsterdam. [00:24:52] Well, I mean, those are the wages of [00:24:55] propaganda that was winked at and nodded [00:24:57] at by the Biden administration, by a [00:24:59] West that decided unfettered immigration [00:25:01] from areas that hate the West was a [00:25:03] genius idea, that softness on terrorism [00:25:05] was actually going to be of benefit to [00:25:07] the West. That's just some of the wages. [00:25:09] Well, all that's about to come to a [00:25:10] screeching halt under Trump 2.0 because [00:25:14] what the United States does has radical [00:25:17] ramifications for the rest of the world. [00:25:19] In just a moment, we'll get to the [00:25:21] situation over in the Senate. First, did [00:25:23] you know you spend a third of your life [00:25:24] sleeping?

Also, in the age [00:26:36] of mindless consumerism and instant [00:26:38] gratification, finding a gift that [00:26:39] actually matters seems about as likely [00:26:41] as enjoying a vegan potluck. But fear [00:26:43] not, I've found it. The thing that might [00:26:45] just restore your faith in gift giving [00:26:47] this upcoming holiday season. Paint your [00:26:49] life transforms your photos into a [00:26:50] one-of-a-kind beautiful handpainted [00:26:52] portrait by professional artists. [00:26:54] Imagine giving a handpainted portrait of [00:26:55] a moment that actually matters. The [00:26:57] process is really, really [00:26:58] straightforward. I've done it myself. No [00:26:59] jumping through hoops, no bureaucratic [00:27:00] nightmare. It takes less than 5 minutes [00:27:02] to order a custom-made handpainted [00:27:04] portrait. You simply choose a photo and [00:27:05] Paint Your Life transforms it into a [00:27:07] painting. Again, I received a painting [00:27:09] from them over a year ago. It hangs in [00:27:10] my house for the whole family to enjoy. [00:27:12] It's actually from the day of my son's [00:27:14] bre Mila. It's it's a it's a beautiful [00:27:16] picture of my entire family plus plus [00:27:18] the doggo. Here's the best part. You can [00:27:19] combine photos or add elements to [00:27:21] upgrade existing photos.

So [00:28:04] meanwhile, the Senate of the United [00:28:07] States, one of the big questions was [00:28:09] going to be if the Democrats took over, [00:28:10] whether they're going to kill the [00:28:11] filibuster. And Mitch McConnell came out [00:28:13] yesterday said, "Listen, we have a [00:28:15] system of laws in this country and [00:28:17] customs in this country, and we're not [00:28:18] going to kill the filibuster." Remember, [00:28:20] these are the people who are supposed to [00:28:21] be the threat to the system. We were [00:28:23] told democracy is ending according to [00:28:24] the left. Well, seems like when you're [00:28:26] in the majority and then you say you're [00:28:27] going to uphold the filibuster, that's [00:28:29] that's a pretty good indicator that [00:28:31] perhaps actually democracy is not [00:28:32] ending. [00:28:34] I think one of the most gratifying [00:28:37] results of the Senate becoming [00:28:40] Republican, the filibuster will stand. [00:28:44] There won't be any new states, admitted [00:28:48] that give a partisan advantage to the [00:28:50] other side, and we'll quit beating up [00:28:53] the Supreme Court every time we don't [00:28:54] like a decision they make. [00:28:58] Okay, he is he is right about that. [00:29:00] Again, your institutions of American [00:29:02] life are safe. They are safe. This is [00:29:05] very good. It means that we are going to [00:29:07] have predictable government for the [00:29:08] first time in quite a long time because [00:29:10] I do not think that the Trump [00:29:12] administration has any intentions of [00:29:14] overrunning their appointed executive [00:29:15] authority under the Constitution. [00:29:18] Meanwhile, John Thun, who's a real [00:29:20] possibility for Senate Majority Leader [00:29:21] since Mitch McConnell is stepping down [00:29:23] right now. The sort of inside [00:29:24] scuttlebutt suggests that it's between [00:29:26] Thun, who would be good. I know there [00:29:28] are a lot of people out there who are [00:29:29] suggesting that he would be terrible. [00:29:30] And and by the way, they're kind of [00:29:31] using Mitch McConnell as an example of [00:29:33] what a bad majority leader looks like. [00:29:34] Hate to break it to you. Mitch McConnell [00:29:36] is the most effective Senate majority [00:29:37] leader in Republican history. Like you [00:29:39] like the Supreme Court the way it is, [00:29:41] right? You like what President Trump did [00:29:42] during his first term. Almost none of [00:29:44] that is possible without Mitch McConnell [00:29:46] being an incredibly effective leader. [00:29:48] That's not the same thing as as [00:29:50] necessarily going on TV a lot and being [00:29:52] charismatic. You don't have to be N. [00:29:53] Gingrich to be an effective Senate [00:29:55] majority leader. You have to wheel. You [00:29:56] have to deal. You have to manipulate. [00:29:57] That's what it is. John Thun is a [00:29:59] possibility. John Cornin is a [00:30:00] possibility. Rick Scott, as I say, is [00:30:02] running for it. Here is John Thun [00:30:03] yesterday. [00:30:05] I think going into it there, you know, [00:30:07] if you looked at the polls, obviously [00:30:08] was everybody expected a tight race, but [00:30:11] it was a a very convincing, resounding [00:30:14] win for President Trump and and [00:30:17] literally up and down the ballot. And we [00:30:19] outperformed uh 2020 in 48 states and [00:30:23] across all demographic groups. and uh [00:30:26] actually did better in in 2,300 [00:30:28] countries or counties I should say [00:30:30] around the country uh than we did uh you [00:30:32] know four years ago. So this was a I [00:30:35] think an example that the American [00:30:38] people have said enough is enough with [00:30:39] the Biden Harris agenda. They're ready [00:30:41] for a different direction for the [00:30:42] country. [00:30:45] He's right. Obviously the scaremongering [00:30:46] that is coming from the news industry is [00:30:48] is truly amazing. So you have a piece [00:30:51] from the Washington Post titled Trump [00:30:52] win complicates Biden's lame duck [00:30:54] foreign policy. Well, I mean his foreign [00:30:56] policy is trash, so I would certainly [00:30:58] hope so. Meanwhile, the Washington Post [00:30:59] says 50 world leaders meet to strategize [00:31:01] on how to deal with Trump. Well, I don't [00:31:04] know. Maybe they ought to form their own [00:31:06] robust foreign policies as opposed to [00:31:08] just living off American large. Maybe [00:31:10] they should stop cowttowing to if they [00:31:12] don't want to cow out to the Russians, [00:31:13] don't cowtow to the Russians. If you [00:31:15] schmucks had actually done what you were [00:31:16] supposed to before the Ukraine war, none [00:31:18] of this would have happened. Instead, [00:31:19] Germany decided to power its entire [00:31:21] economy on unicorn farts and Russian [00:31:23] oil. That seems to be the predictable [00:31:26] response is is that Russia feels like it [00:31:29] has leverage over over Europe. You know, [00:31:31] maybe Donald Trump will force you guys [00:31:33] back into the realm of reality. [00:31:35] According to the Washington Post, [00:31:37] although they'd been preparing for [00:31:38] months for a possible Trump comeback, [00:31:39] European policy makers were facing the [00:31:41] reality the continent is nowhere near [00:31:42] Trump proof. A realization made more [00:31:44] stark this week by the collapse of the [00:31:46] coalition government in Germany, [00:31:47] Europe's largest economy and political [00:31:48] heavyweight. While German politics are [00:31:50] effectively paralyzed, and while [00:31:52] European economies are struggling, [00:31:53] policymakers acknowledge there's only so [00:31:55] much leaders on the continent can do to [00:31:56] deter Trump from launching a trade war [00:31:58] to reduce their dependence on the US [00:31:59] security umbrella or to maintain [00:32:01] American backing for Ukraine. So maybe [00:32:03] they should do it themsel I know. What a [00:32:05] concept. What a concept. By the way, I [00:32:07] know many European leaders secretly, [00:32:09] quietly, a lot of the European leaders, [00:32:10] not not the big ones who you hear about, [00:32:12] you know, the not not the Emanuel Mcron, [00:32:14] the other European leaders, the ones who [00:32:15] actually live under Russian threat, many [00:32:17] of them are ecstatic that Trump was [00:32:18] elected because they think that Joe [00:32:20] Biden is a weakling because he is. Well, [00:32:22] joining us on the line is the brand [00:32:23] newly elected senator from the state of [00:32:25] Montana, replacing the excraable John [00:32:27] Tester. Tim Sheihi joins us on the line. [00:32:30] Tim, congrats on your big win. [00:32:33] Thanks, and thank you for your help up [00:32:34] here. You know, for those of you who [00:32:35] don't know, Ben came up and did a [00:32:37] fantastic event for us in Callispel in [00:32:38] the final weeks of the election. And it [00:32:40] was events like that that really helped [00:32:42] people crystallize what's at stake. Uh [00:32:44] because we had to save this country and [00:32:46] we did. And from coast to coast, all [00:32:48] socioeconomic classes, all races, [00:32:49] colors, creeds, a mandate was delivered [00:32:52] that America wants to put America first [00:32:54] again. And that's what we're going to [00:32:55] do. [00:32:57] Yeah. So Tim, obviously you beat Tesla [00:33:00] pretty soundly here. you ended up [00:33:01] flipping the seat by some 60,000 votes, [00:33:04] 50 60,000 votes. You know, in in a state [00:33:06] like Montana that doesn't have a giant [00:33:08] population, that is a solid margin. You [00:33:09] beat him 53 to 45 essentially. Those are [00:33:13] big numbers. You know, the state of [00:33:14] Montana has been a red state. They [00:33:15] they've been hesitant to kick out John [00:33:16] Tester because he's been masquerading [00:33:18] for a long time as as sort of a populist [00:33:20] bluecollar guy. And I think that's one [00:33:21] of the stories of this election is that [00:33:23] people who masquerade got tossed out of [00:33:25] office. [00:33:27] Yeah. the Democrat party, as I've been [00:33:29] saying that the D on the ballot no [00:33:30] longer stands for Democrat, it stands [00:33:31] for deception. You know, this campaign [00:33:34] uh ran by the Democrats up and down the [00:33:36] ticket from Kla Harris all the way to [00:33:37] the bottom were campaigns of deception. [00:33:39] I mean, as you well know, at the same [00:33:40] time, Kla Harris is running uh [00:33:42] commercials that were pro- Israel and [00:33:44] places that would help her and pro [00:33:45] Palestine and pro Hamas in places that [00:33:47] were not. You had Bob Casey and John [00:33:49] Tester and Slacken and all these others [00:33:51] running campaigns talking about how they [00:33:52] were close to Trump, supported Trump's [00:33:55] policies. Meanwhile, their voting record [00:33:56] belied that and showed the truth that [00:33:58] they have been 100% supporters of the [00:34:00] Biden, Harris, Obama, uh regime. So, uh [00:34:04] the deception collapsed. People were [00:34:05] tired of the mainstream media complex. [00:34:07] Another podcaster I love, Sean Ryan, [00:34:10] who's a former SEAL like me, uh, has a [00:34:12] great and he did a fantastic video in [00:34:13] the wake of Joe Rogan's podcast with [00:34:15] President Trump, three-hour marathon [00:34:17] where no stone was left unturned, where [00:34:19] he said, "What we just saw was the [00:34:21] collapse of the credibility of the [00:34:23] legacy media complex that has been [00:34:24] manufacturing lies and false narratives [00:34:27] that have been manipulating the voters [00:34:28] of America for 50 years." And and and [00:34:31] like John Thun just said in that audio [00:34:32] clip you played, Americans said enough [00:34:34] is enough. Uh, we're tired of narrative. [00:34:36] We're tired of of misconstrued facts. [00:34:38] The truth is the truth. And mass illegal [00:34:40] migration, uh unchecked inflation, [00:34:43] disastrous foreign policy decisions are [00:34:46] bad. They're bad for our businesses. [00:34:47] They're bad for our families. They're [00:34:49] bad for our communities. And we are [00:34:50] going to put our interests first. And as [00:34:52] you heard me say at our rally, you know, [00:34:54] it's been it's been a key part of my [00:34:55] message. It's not too much to expect for [00:34:57] the American people to to expect from [00:35:00] their government that they've elected [00:35:01] and that they pay for every day with [00:35:03] with more and more burdensome taxes. [00:35:05] It's not too much for them to expect [00:35:06] that that government should do what's [00:35:08] best for them first. And that has not [00:35:10] been what's happened the last three and [00:35:11] a half years and we're going to fix it. [00:35:14] Now Tim, one of the thing that that that [00:35:15] has happened is, as you say, people have [00:35:17] not put America first. When America is [00:35:18] strong, America ends up first and the [00:35:20] rest of the world benefits from that. [00:35:22] That that is the message of President [00:35:23] Trump's first term. I think that's what [00:35:24] you're going to see in his second term [00:35:25] as well. The business community is [00:35:26] ecstatic. They are over the moon about [00:35:28] President Trump being elected. I mean, [00:35:30] every business person that I know is [00:35:31] just excited. means that you're going to [00:35:33] have a stable, solid ground to work [00:35:35] upon. One of the big problems under [00:35:37] under Biden and under the Democrats is [00:35:38] that they can just rip the carpet right [00:35:40] out underneath you anytime you are you [00:35:43] are trying to build a business. I mean, [00:35:44] they can just destroy your business [00:35:45] willy-nilly. Meanwhile, Trump is talking [00:35:47] deregulation. The Senate is going to is [00:35:48] going to be involved in I assume making [00:35:50] the Trump tax cuts permanent, maybe [00:35:52] going even further. You know, it's going [00:35:53] to be open. America's going to be open [00:35:55] for business here. [00:35:56] That's exactly right. And the business [00:35:58] leaders, uh, a lot of whom, as you [00:36:00] alluded to, it's kind of like the [00:36:01] European leaders, you know, they've been [00:36:02] afraid to come out and stick their neck [00:36:04] out. Thank God for Elon Musk making an [00:36:06] unequivocal endorsement saying, "I'm one [00:36:08] of the most successful business leaders [00:36:09] in America, and I can tell you without [00:36:11] hesitation, without question, without [00:36:13] qualification, that Donald Trump and the [00:36:15] conservative policies he's championing [00:36:16] are good for business. They're good for [00:36:18] my employees, and we need to put them uh [00:36:20] in the driver's seat because, uh, we've [00:36:22] seen in the last three and a half years, [00:36:23] which you it really was a more extreme [00:36:25] extension of the Obama policies. uh you [00:36:27] know from 08 you know through 16 which [00:36:30] is anti- business which is more [00:36:32] regulation which is take your fate and [00:36:34] instead of owning it yourself hand it to [00:36:36] the government and hope that they do [00:36:38] better. Take your financial fate take [00:36:40] the fate of your business take the fate [00:36:41] of your family and abdicate it and hand [00:36:44] it to government bureaucrats who have no [00:36:46] accountability. They have no experience. [00:36:49] I mean look at Lena Khan who's who's our [00:36:50] FC chair who functionally has zero [00:36:52] business experience of any kind. She's [00:36:54] an academic who wrote a bunch of papers [00:36:56] and they've been put her on the bridge [00:36:58] of the American economy, the most [00:37:00] powerful economy in the history of the [00:37:01] world. And she's done terrible, terrible [00:37:03] things with it. Uh and and and the [00:37:05] number one most important single axiom [00:37:08] of the American economy that frankly is [00:37:10] what set America apart since day one. [00:37:12] America's magic has never been our [00:37:13] government or our military. It's been [00:37:16] the fact that we were the first country [00:37:17] in history to have been based on the [00:37:19] entrepreneurial spirit. Uh the [00:37:21] achievements of the individual a and the [00:37:23] unleashing of the power of the [00:37:25] individual and that's that's realized [00:37:27] through a free market economy and [00:37:29] ultimately through small business. And [00:37:31] what we've seen is a war on small [00:37:33] business, a war on ingenuity, a war on [00:37:35] hard work. And uh that's going to end. [00:37:37] Donald Trump uh is going to get full [00:37:39] support from the Senate. Uh it's very [00:37:41] clear that you know what the Senate [00:37:43] needs to be is not a rubber stamp for [00:37:45] Donald Trump but an engine for him. An [00:37:47] engine to help him get these things done [00:37:49] instead of just responding to his policy [00:37:51] desires. We need to be a partner with [00:37:53] his White House and with his appointees [00:37:55] to ensure that we aren't just clearing [00:37:57] the path for a bunch of executive orders [00:37:59] that can get undone by the next [00:38:00] president like we've been seeing these [00:38:01] last few administrations. We need to [00:38:03] pass laws that enshrine these priorities [00:38:06] in law that can't simply be undone by [00:38:08] the next administration, like securing [00:38:10] the border. Enough of this executive [00:38:11] order, secure the border back and forth. [00:38:13] We need to pass a law that will [00:38:15] withstand uh judicial review at every at [00:38:18] every step of the way to ensure that our [00:38:20] border is secure so we can protect the [00:38:22] lives and livelihoods of our of our [00:38:23] people. [00:38:25] Now, Tim Shihi, one of the things that's [00:38:27] amazing about you, you are an energetic [00:38:28] dude. I mean, that is a long campaign. I [00:38:30] can sense that you are raring to go. [00:38:31] you're going to get in Congress. And as [00:38:32] you say, you know, Senate needs to be an [00:38:34] engine, needs to be moving fast because, [00:38:36] you know, you never know what the next [00:38:37] election is going to bring, which means [00:38:38] you got a two-year period to do an [00:38:40] enormous amount of things. And I know [00:38:42] you're going to be a leader in doing [00:38:43] that. Senator Tim, Senator-elect Tim [00:38:45] Shehy from Montana, again, [00:38:46] congratulations. And we'll see you in [00:38:47] DC. [00:38:49] Thanks, Ben. Let's get it done. [00:38:52] All righty, folks. Just when the left [00:38:53] and the first DEI presidential candidate [00:38:55] thought their week couldn't get any [00:38:56] worse, the weekend is here.

As you [00:39:41] can sense, whenever we are optimistic [00:39:43] here on the right, the left is very [00:39:44] upset. Listen, I understand if you had [00:39:46] misconceptions about Donald Trump. If [00:39:49] you think that it's just going to be the [00:39:50] end of the world, I get you being upset. [00:39:51] Seriously, we're making a lot of fun. [00:39:53] The people I'm trying to make fun of are [00:39:55] not like normal American citizens who [00:39:56] may have been misinformed or who may [00:39:58] have a different belief system. The [00:40:00] people I'm making fun of are the people [00:40:02] at the top of the heap. The people I'm [00:40:04] making fun of are the people at the top [00:40:05] of the economic heap who should know [00:40:07] better, who do know better, and who are [00:40:08] lying. When they say that this is going [00:40:10] to be Hitler, when they say that it's [00:40:11] going to be brown shirts, when they say [00:40:12] it's the end of America, none of that is [00:40:14] true, and they know it's not true. And [00:40:16] you can tell they know that it's not [00:40:17] true. Those people, I don't even think [00:40:19] that it's uh it's okay to laugh at I [00:40:22] think it's a duty to laugh at them [00:40:24] because if you're a person who's [00:40:25] deliberately misinforming the American [00:40:26] public, we should laugh at you. And [00:40:29] frankly, I think we should encourage you [00:40:30] in your downward spiral if that downward [00:40:33] spiral means that you lose more. Now, [00:40:35] speaking of people who just keep losing, [00:40:37] Joy Reid, who uh is not a repository of [00:40:40] joy, she is out there blaming Latinos, [00:40:42] of course, because Donald Trump won [00:40:44] according to some exit polls, 46% of the [00:40:47] entire Latino vote. So, that means that [00:40:49] Joy Reid, because she's higher on the [00:40:51] intersectional hierarchy than Latino, [00:40:52] she gets to say whatever she wants about [00:40:54] Latino people. Also, [00:40:57] Latino men who, despite the utter [00:40:59] disrespect shown by Trump and his [00:41:02] promise to deport some of your mixed [00:41:04] class, mixed status families, most of [00:41:07] them voted in a 55% majority to make the [00:41:11] deportations happen. Y'all voted with [00:41:13] Steven Miller and David Duke and against [00:41:15] your own sisters and chose Kla who chose [00:41:17] Kla Harris with 60% of their votes. So [00:41:21] you own everything that happens to your [00:41:23] mixed status families and to your wives, [00:41:26] sisters, and abuelas from here on in. [00:41:31] Oh man, just keep going with this. [00:41:33] Seriously, just keep going with this. [00:41:34] Really keep doubling down on this. Joy [00:41:36] Reed, I really love it. More identity [00:41:38] politics, more blaming American. Sunny [00:41:40] Host joins the crew. She is also blaming [00:41:42] Latino men. Now she says they're sexist. [00:41:43] That's the real problem. [00:41:46] Latinos in Texas, a dis a district [00:41:48] that's 97% Latino, went 75 percentage [00:41:52] points for Donald Trump. Why? On the No, [00:41:54] it's on the border. The border crisis is [00:41:57] on their doorstep. And they were begging [00:41:59] people to care about it for years. We [00:42:00] need to take some lesson. The lessons [00:42:02] are not. Who's there? Oh my gosh. It's [00:42:06] whooping. [00:42:09] Oh my goodness. These these folks. So [00:42:11] wow. Meanwhile, former vice chair of the [00:42:14] DNC [00:42:16] agrees. This is Michael Blake saying [00:42:17] that Americans are racist. Just keep [00:42:19] doing this. Please, more porn on. Pour [00:42:21] on. Keep calling Americans racist. Keep [00:42:22] calling Latino men sexist. Please do it. [00:42:24] Keep just yelling at the American people [00:42:25] about how terrible they are for not [00:42:27] having elected this absolute nothing [00:42:29] burger of a candidate on a terrible [00:42:31] agenda that Americans hate. Please keep [00:42:32] telling Americans how they're the worst [00:42:34] people ever. That's a way to victory. Do [00:42:35] it. Do it. [00:42:39] Democrats, we have to be very clear of [00:42:41] calling them on who they is. Donald [00:42:43] Trump is a white supremacist who has a [00:42:46] project 2025 agenda that wants to [00:42:48] implement that. And anyone who voted for [00:42:50] those policies need to be clearly [00:42:52] countered on that. When you see what [00:42:54] happened in on Tuesday, it was people in [00:42:57] particular white men and white women who [00:42:59] unfortunately decided to not vote for [00:43:02] the vice president. Yet they elected [00:43:05] black women in the Supreme Court in [00:43:06] Michigan. Yet we had victories in Ruben [00:43:09] Ggo's no win in Arizona. Yet we had [00:43:11] victories in North Carolina. It was the [00:43:13] fear of a black and south Asian woman [00:43:16] that we have to speak about. And if [00:43:18] we're not clear about race, gender, and [00:43:20] class, we are ignoring the truth of [00:43:22] what's happening in the country right [00:43:23] now. [00:43:25] I mean, can I just point out that white [00:43:26] people actually voted for Trump at a [00:43:28] lower clip than they voted for him in [00:43:30] 2020. That's actually what happened. the [00:43:32] only constituency where Trump actually [00:43:34] lost ground. He lost one point with [00:43:36] white voters in 2024 and then he blew [00:43:39] her out. Why? Cuz a bunch of people who [00:43:41] weren't supposed to vote for him voted [00:43:43] for him. But please keep going with [00:43:46] this. How about Alexander Okaziocortez? [00:43:48] You know, former bartender. She uh [00:43:51] coyote ugly over here. Here she is [00:43:52] explaining how it's all misogyny and [00:43:54] sexism that is responsible for Kala [00:43:56] Harris's loss. [00:43:59] The fact of the matter is, you know, [00:44:02] this race may not have been decided by [00:44:03] any one individual factor, but misogyny [00:44:07] is very, very real in this country. as [00:44:11] another [00:44:12] widely known woman of color in office. [00:44:17] You know, I knew that [00:44:20] sexism and racism were real, but it was [00:44:23] not until I got subjected to a national [00:44:26] stage that I actually was shocked at [00:44:30] how bad it is. You know, you grow up [00:44:33] with it, but there is something about [00:44:37] being on the receiving line or just [00:44:40] nationally exposed to millions of [00:44:42] eyeballs at once that you feel that fire [00:44:45] hose and you actually understand how [00:44:48] deeply ingrained it is. And it is not [00:44:52] partisan. [00:44:54] It is in it transcends. [00:45:00] More tears. More. I require more tears. [00:45:03] More more. Okay, so I I have some more [00:45:05] tears for you. How about professor and [00:45:06] New York Times columnist Trese McMillian [00:45:08] Coppam urging Dems to double down on [00:45:11] identity politics like on Comedy Central [00:45:14] because it's been working so well they [00:45:16] need more of it. Please be my guest. [00:45:18] Please keep going. Please. [00:45:21] As Donald Trump has proven, what he has [00:45:23] proven and the way he has won has proven [00:45:25] is that every voter has an identity. M [00:45:28] every voter has an identity. And he [00:45:30] tapped into one of the most powerful of [00:45:32] American identities. He tapped into [00:45:34] white identity. [00:45:35] Right. [00:45:35] Right. And he said, "You don't need to [00:45:37] be ashamed of this identity. I'm going [00:45:39] to give it a name and I'm going to make [00:45:40] you feel good about it and you don't [00:45:41] have to sacrifice a thing." Donald Trump [00:45:44] played identity politics like a fiddle. [00:45:47] So when you say that the Democrats lose [00:45:50] because we pay identity politics, it [00:45:52] simply isn't true. [00:45:53] This is about whose identities win when [00:45:56] you appeal to them. That means you [00:45:58] should double down on the identities of [00:45:59] your base. [00:46:03] Oh, please keep doing this. By the way, [00:46:04] Trump did not run on identity politics. [00:46:06] He ran on the reverse. You guys ran on [00:46:08] the idea that everybody's a member of a [00:46:09] race or a class. Donald Trump ran on the [00:46:11] idea that everybody wants American [00:46:12] opportunity and you should leave us the [00:46:14] hell alone. That's what he ran on. But [00:46:16] again, I just I I keep the, you know, [00:46:18] keep going down this rabbit hole, [00:46:19] please. It'll be great. I I think that [00:46:21] that'll be excellent. Meanwhile, the the [00:46:24] actual tears are breaking out. [00:46:25] Apparently, Harvard professors have been [00:46:27] canceling class, which is exciting [00:46:29] because probably the kids are learning [00:46:30] more not being in class than being in [00:46:32] class. According to the Harvard Crimson, [00:46:35] students awoke to a somber campus [00:46:37] following Donald Trump's re-election to [00:46:38] the presidency early Wednesday. My heart [00:46:40] dropped a little bit. One student said, [00:46:43] "Apparently, professors have decided to [00:46:45] cancel some classes. They encouraged [00:46:48] students to process in the aftermath of [00:46:49] the election adjusting course [00:46:50] requirements in kind courses like [00:46:53] sociology 1156 statistics for social [00:46:55] sciences and applied math 22A solving [00:46:57] and optimizing as well as several [00:46:59] general education courses including the [00:47:02] ancient Greek hero and popular culture [00:47:03] in modern China canceled their classes [00:47:05] Wednesday made attendance optional or or [00:47:07] extended assignment deadlines. [00:47:10] Man, you know one of the more fun [00:47:12] experiences of my life actually I [00:47:14] remember the 2004 election. I was at [00:47:15] Harvard Law School during the 2004 [00:47:17] election. I remember that night John [00:47:20] Kerry who was from Massachusetts of [00:47:22] course he had set up his victory party [00:47:24] just a few stops away on the line and I [00:47:29] remember everybody was prepping for a [00:47:30] carry victory and then of course he lost [00:47:32] and the next day was just a joy. It was [00:47:34] just wonderful. I was walking around [00:47:36] campus having voted for George W in 2004 [00:47:39] and everybody was so upset and down all [00:47:41] I thought to myself was it'll be okay. [00:47:43] It'll be okay. and and y'all seem real. [00:47:45] You know what? I hope that the people at [00:47:48] Harvard continue to to continue to [00:47:49] spiral the toilet because frankly, my [00:47:51] alma mater is not in good shape. Anyway, [00:47:54] meanwhile, again, it is fun to watch the [00:47:56] Celebs. The celebs are also freaking [00:47:58] out. Over at the New York Times, my [00:47:59] goodness, I mean, they're they're going [00:48:01] to need some some serious opiates over [00:48:04] there. The New York Times had all the [00:48:06] members of their editorial page talk [00:48:09] about the worst version of a Trump [00:48:10] administration. What a nightmare it [00:48:12] would be. They they apparently took it [00:48:14] from inside some sort of pantry [00:48:17] somewhere without any makeup looking [00:48:20] like an outtake from 10 Cloverfield [00:48:22] Lane. Here here is Ezra Klein and the [00:48:25] rest of the photogenic crew at the New [00:48:27] York Times explaining how everyone will [00:48:29] die and the earth will explode in a ball [00:48:31] of fire because Donald Trump is going to [00:48:32] win. [00:48:34] The worst version of a Donald Trump [00:48:36] administration is very, very bad. [00:48:39] one that is not only extremist but also [00:48:41] effective in that extremism. [00:48:43] Emboldened by a series of Supreme Court [00:48:45] rulings um you know perhaps bolstered by [00:48:49] support in both houses of Congress. Um [00:48:51] you know Trump will fulfill his promise [00:48:53] to be a dictator on day one. He sends [00:48:57] troops into neighborhoods like my own to [00:49:01] try to round up undocumented immigrants. [00:49:04] That he sets up a network of camps. mass [00:49:07] deportations. It would likely plunge the [00:49:10] United States into something like a [00:49:11] recession. His tariffs, likewise, [00:49:14] promise to spike prices for most [00:49:16] Americans and cause to go up [00:49:18] dramatically. [00:49:19] That version of Trump could result in [00:49:21] abandoning Ukraine to advancing Russian [00:49:24] armies, could result in extraordinarily [00:49:27] erratic foreign policy in the Middle [00:49:28] East. [00:49:28] I mean, Donald Trump often talked about [00:49:30] things like bombing Mexico to deal with [00:49:31] drug cartels. people stopped him from [00:49:34] doing that. [00:49:34] But there's not going to be any adults [00:49:36] in the room this time. [00:49:37] The worst version of a Trump [00:49:38] administration seeks uh various forms of [00:49:41] retribution against Trump's enemies, [00:49:44] real and uh what a terrible editorial [00:49:47] power given to him to harass and um uh [00:49:51] undermine his political opposition. This [00:49:53] leads to substantial resistance, mass [00:49:57] protest and also um drives his enemies [00:50:01] into a cycle of radicalization, [00:50:04] intensifying unrest and conflict [00:50:06] and in the process doing profound and [00:50:10] permanent talk about the left democracy [00:50:12] basically when nothing we can do by [00:50:14] voting or using our existing [00:50:17] institutions will reverse the [00:50:19] consolidation of power. they democracy [00:50:23] ending if really manifests in the ways [00:50:27] that he and other conservatives have [00:50:30] discussed them. [00:50:31] And I have a great fear that that's [00:50:33] exactly what's going to happen over the [00:50:34] next four years. [00:50:37] Wow. Well, your fears um you know, I [00:50:40] feast upon them. I feast upon them [00:50:41] because the things that you're saying [00:50:42] are ridiculous. Ridiculous. I mean, some [00:50:45] of them I hope happen. Frankly, I hope [00:50:48] that President Trump makes our enemies [00:50:49] fearful. I hope that President Trump [00:50:52] restores the constitutional order by [00:50:53] firing a bunch of people in the [00:50:54] executive branch. But most of that stuff [00:50:57] is just you guys, you know, getting high [00:50:59] off your own farts in the car. So [00:51:01] perhaps you ought to take a second look [00:51:03] at your life right now. You got [00:51:04] everything wrong in this election. Maybe [00:51:05] you're getting that wrong, too. It's [00:51:06] funny. They make all these mistakes and [00:51:08] then they never actually take in the [00:51:09] mistakes that they've made. It's really [00:51:11] incredible. Nicole Wallace over on [00:51:12] MSNBC, she has announced that she is [00:51:14] deleting her Twitter. Well, don't let [00:51:17] the door hit you where the good Lord [00:51:18] split you. Lady, [00:51:20] I have this sort of insatiable [00:51:23] interest in every bit of wisdom you can [00:51:25] impart. And and as a journalist, I I [00:51:28] hear you about gerting ourselves for [00:51:29] this moment. Um, as a human, I deleted [00:51:33] Twitter today as an act of [00:51:35] self-preservation and because I was no [00:51:37] longer able to find the things I was [00:51:38] interested in and was seeing a lot of [00:51:40] things that I I'm not. [00:51:44] Well, a sad story for all of you. Again, [00:51:48] as they as they shed their tears, Donald [00:51:50] Trump is just moving forward. This is an [00:51:51] administration that is going to staff [00:51:53] up. From what I see, the staffing [00:51:55] decisions look good. It looks like an [00:51:58] administration wants to hit the ground [00:51:59] running because Trump's done this [00:52:00] before. And again, that I'm unacustomed [00:52:04] to this sort of optimism. I'm I'm just [00:52:05] not used to it, folks. I'm gonna have to [00:52:07] take the weekend to rest up and recover [00:52:09] and then come back with my agame [00:52:10] because, frankly, I'm short on sleep. [00:52:12] But I'm high on life because it was it [00:52:16] was a good week and hopefully next week [00:52:17] will be just as good. In just a moment [00:52:20] we're going to get to the resistance.
