Transcript
the final tally it looks like is going to be 312 Electoral College votes for uh president Donald Trump versus comma Harris is 226 just for context in 2016 Trump won with 304 electoral votes and Biden won in 2020 with 306 so it's a pretty sweeping Victory he won all the supposed swing States this year fairly resoundingly there's there's no real super close calls there's some close calls but but pretty resounding victory chth what happened wow it's a it's a really good question I think that there's many layers of the answer but I think in its most basic calculation I think that the bottom fell out of the democratic party and if
you look at why there's a simple explanation and then there's the more nuanced explanation I think the simple explanation is like they just lost the script I think that there was so many people that just got really tired of being spoken at and labeled misogynist racist fascist transphobe whatever it was and there was just these Litany of these judgmental labels that would come out instead of engaging on the topics at hand so I think the Democratic Party plate this game of trying to use identities genders races as a bid to basically get people that they thought should always vote in
their direction to continue to support them and instead what happened was people just started to think for themselves and say hold on a second I'm just a normal person that wants to be left alone what matters to me and I think what Donald Trump spoke to was a desire for folks to have economic prosperity a safe neighborhood a predictable educational curriculum where these kids could go to school not be indoctrinated and come out the other side and just know some useful skills so that they could get a good job and do better than they did and all these basic truths ended up on the ballot and so it was a bunch of
perception versus just a bunch of hard realities and I think Trump stayed focused and ultimately made sure that people understood that that's what he was focused on and I think the Democrats just went to this place of demagoguery and labels and I think it was just a resounding defeat and David I just want you to like just to put a pin in on how resounding it is in California and New York which I would say are the two most prolific bastions of elitist liberal thinking Democrats won those States in some of the narrowest margins they've ever seen I think in 2020 they won California by 29 Points it was barely
half is what they won by this year in New York it shrunk to a 12-point margin so what is this telling you it's telling you that the Democrats really need to retool and get back to First principles it was a cataclysmic dismissal of wokeism of cancel culture of judgmentalism it was an ringing endorsement of a meritocracy of just plain simple common sense of talking with people and to people being able to tolerate disagreements remaining friends all of those things were on the ballot and it it was just an absolute resounding victory for just normaly that's what I think we saw we saw a return to normaly is this the
nature of democracy that over time when you have a two-party system and one party veers too far to the left or one party veers too far to the right people jump ship to the other party and ultimately they pull the policies of the party that they left back to the middle and that's the way democracy is supposed to work and has worked historically so is this the way it's supposed to go and do we project that four years from now the Democrats will need to be and need to adjust to the center and we'll see less of this extremism because of the way the voting turned out this this election cycle I think that's a very interesting question is whether the
Democrats have the necessary introspection to learn from this loss I would say that one of them does if you look at Mat glacius who's someone I've sparred with on on Twitter X who is a Democrat partisan he basically tweeted a list of principles that he thought the democra party needed to adopt I read it and retweeted I said laughing my ass off this is a list of Republican principles it was all about you know opposing woke and being in favor of Merit and Innovation tolerance I'm like look you know what if the Democratic party wants to adopt these principles that's a wonderful thing for the country I hope that they do it okay but will they do it I have my doubts you look at this tweet
by Ari fer where he talks about who the Democratic party now is yeah I think that this is a really important tweet because it sort of tells you Sak who's going to be left in the room exact if these are the only people left in the room the last thing they're going to do is admit defeat right exactly so what you see is that the Dem Democratic party base is these very affluent very overeducated very non-religious types and frankly I wonder whether they're too out of touch to know they're out of touch they're certainly very whiny and entitled and I just don't think they're going to seed control of the party without a fight and frankly they've disappeared so
far up their own woke asses that I don't think they can find an electoral majority if they try so if these people stay in control of the party and these are the people who you're seeing having a mental breakdown on Tik Tok they're posting all the videos they're insulting the electorate and let's face it it's not just on Tik Tok it's on the Legacy Media it's on msdnc it's basically the the Legacy Media who are trying to diagnose a psychosis in the American electorate to explain why they were so wrong if those people stay in control I think that the Republicans could have an electoral majority as far as the eye can see
