Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, thank you, Scott channannan, thanks to all of
you for being with us. Right down our toll free
telephone number. You know what we might do, Lindon. We
might take calls because we don't we have a lot
of guests today and maybe we'll do it at the
half hour. If you want to call us at the
bottom of this hour, we'll take your calls eight hundred
and nine to four one Sean if you want to
give us a call, and thank you for being with us.

(00:23):
And wow, I don't know what else to say. This
was a mandate of all mandates. I can't believe I'm
even going to do this. But they weren't particularly happy
over at MSDNZ and the victory of Donald Trump, which
was just overwhelming. It was it was almost unprecedented. Even

(00:47):
Liberal Joe, our old friend, said, Trump's win is the
biggest red waves since Reagan in nineteen eighty Fords when
Reagan won, you know, forty nine states. The Democratic Party
was wiped out this morning. We don't know what the
total amount will be in terms of Senate seats, but
it's going to be probably around fifty five ish by
the time we guess one bit of good news. Originally,

(01:11):
the projection was that the House of Representatives might go Democratic,
and then it was like going to be a slight
of my majority, maybe two or three seats. And the
decision desk is now up that number to two hundred
and twenty three Republicans to two hundred and twelve Democrats,
which means that they have a mandate now to go forward.

(01:32):
And if Republicans can simply unite and you get these
these agenda items fast, we can very quickly get the
country back on track, which to me was what this
country was all about, what the country is all about.
And this was my final plea to all of you.
I've got to confess as I start the show today,

(01:54):
and it kind of came out last night on TV.
I was on Fox preppaar Martha Wakin leading the coverage
for Fox, and they had all of us on there
and at different times, and I was on from nine
to ten thirty or somewhere around there, maybe eleven, I
don't remember. And I had information yesterday that would contradict

(02:16):
what was my closing message to all of you in
this audience. I was not withholding information. I kind of
pride myself and always wanting to be honest with our audience.
I set it to Linda straight up, I don't want
to talk about polling too much in the days leading
up to the election, that I really wanted to focus
on one message, and that was that I looked at

(02:38):
the polls. The polls were very, very close. I got
to tip my hat to our polsters, and that would
be Robert Kahley, Trafalgar, Matt Towery, Insider Advantage, John McLaughlin
McLaughlin and associates, and this group that keeps popping up
all the time Atlas Intel, I think is what their
name is. And they've done very well the last number

(03:00):
of election cycles, because like six, like twenty sixteen, in
twenty twenty here in twenty twenty four, the presidential election year,
they just nailed it. And what they I mean they
were literally within you know, tens of a point on
each case of where every state would land. And it
was kind of stunning to me how accurate they were.

(03:23):
And I had conversations with Robert Kahley and Matt Towry
about I'm like, how do you get it right every
single presidential election year? How do you guys do it?
And we just had a long explanation about it, but
putting all of that aside, I knew yesterday, and I
didn't want to focus on it. But I knew yesterday,

(03:43):
and when I was on America's newsroom yesterday with Dana
Perino and Bill Himmer, I kind of gave it away,
and I gave it away a little bit yesterday, but
I didn't want to focus on it because in a way,
it contradicted my final message to all of you, and
the information was just a math issue. And it's amazing

(04:07):
to me that more people didn't pick up on it.
They just didn't, And I'm like, are you guys not
paying attention to early voting? And what a dramatic shift
had taken place. Now, let me step back for a
second and remind this audience that when after twenty twenty,
I started, at some point pretty early on realizing that

(04:28):
we can't we have to face a truth and a
reality that we don't want to face, and that was
that Republicans and Conservatives that they have a mysterious reluctance
and resistance. Those of you that listen't regularly have heard
me say those words over and over again to early
voting voting by mail, et cetera. And I understand it.

(04:50):
It's not the system that I would choose, although in
all fairness the state I live in now, Florida, they
handle it perfectly. It was amazing last time. How long
did it take from the time that Florida polls clothesland
that to the time we got the results. It was
like forty five minutes. Forty five minutes, it was like
lightning speed. We may not know the results out in

(05:15):
Arizona for ten days. I'm reading. I'm like, you've got
to be kidding me, you know, thank god. You know,
Donald Trump has been declared the winner by a long shot.
It's a landslide. He's gonna win Arizona anyway, and I
think he's gonna win Nevada. Boy, no tax on tips,
no tax on overtime. I think probably resonated really well
with those hardworking service workers that live in Vegas and

(05:38):
other parts Reno and other parts of Nevada. And so,
but what did the data that I had? And I
did speak about it, but I didn't want to focus
on it. So it's not like I was hiding it
from you. And the data was very very clear. Is
that in spite of this not being the system that
most Conservatives that I know want, that most Republicans I

(05:59):
know want, because I know what I want in terms
of elections to have the most integrity so we have
the most confidence and results. And that would be make
election day a national holiday, make it a single day,
and you would have proof of citizenship, you'd have voter ID,
you'd have signature verification, you'd have chain of custody controls,

(06:20):
you'd have updated voter roles for every election, probably every
six months would be ideal. Obviously, you can't have illegal
immigrants on the voter rolls. And you would have partisan observers,
meaning let's say you have a libertarian, you have a Republican,
you have a conservative candidate like you. They have a
conservative party in New York, a Democrat, and every party

(06:44):
gets a representative inside of every precinct that gets to
watch the voting all day long, and every precinct and
when the polls closed, the vote counting up close after
once they start the vote counting so that there's no shenanigans.
And even Kamala Harris once stated that, yeah, well Russia,
can't you know, hack a piece of paper and you know,

(07:06):
kind of agree with me on this. But what I
saw and what we learned is that it took a
while in the beginning when I first said that we've
got to change our mindset on this, and we've got
to overcome our resistance to this. And it's the system
we have, not the system we wish we had, and
unless we embrace it, we're going to start every election

(07:27):
day down hundreds of thousands of votes. And then you
run the risk, God forbid, you know you have inclement weather,
or God forbid you have a hurricane. God forbid, you know,
something happens, somebody in your family sick, You're not going
to be able to get out there and vote. Republicans
came up with this, the RNC came up with bank
your Vote, and slowly but surely people adjusted and adopted

(07:50):
to it. And it actually took President Trump a long
time for him to adopt it and push it himself,
but he eventually did. I think he saw the wisdom
of it. The benefit to is that once people have
banked their votes, then you can start targeting other people
because they know who votes, they're able to check the
voter rolls, and then they stop wasting time, money, energy, resources,

(08:13):
sending you out text or trying to get in contact
with you. And that means they can go after other
people either high perpensity, mid propensity or low propensity voters,
and it's a better allocation of all of those resources.
And anyway, so I say all of this is that

(08:33):
we learned something. And the early numbers after early voting,
we saw a dramatic shift, and that was that Democratic
participation in early voting was down in some cases forty
fifty sixty percent. It was dramatic. Republican increase in early

(08:57):
voting was massive. And I'll give you a couple of
quick examples. We knew that in Georgia that early voting
by Democrats was down about forty percent going into election
day yesterday, and Republican participation in early voting had been

(09:18):
significantly higher in counties that are known to be Republican,
although it's not as easily identifiable in Georgia. By the way,
tip of the hat to Governor Kemp and his team,
they were enormously helpful in this election, going all in
for President Trump. I got to thank them. There's so

(09:39):
many people. I can't thank everybody. And anyway, so and
I knew in Pennsylvania, for example, in twenty twenty, going
into election day that Democrats had on record had a
one point one million vote lead over Republicans, and that

(09:59):
is a massive, massive deficit to overcome. Going into election
day yesterday, Democrats had a lead. It was four hundred thousand.
Republicans would tend to vote day of Democrats had embraced
voting early, a massive decline. Republicans, on the other hand,
Republican counties, if you look at the map of Pennsylvania

(10:21):
is very red, and Republican counties had, you know, come
out in massive numbers. And I knew at that point
that they needed in Democratic strongholds, that the Alleghany County,
for example, the Philly suburbs for example, that they needed
to make up seven hundred thousand votes. And if you

(10:44):
listen to my interviews with Jeff Bartos yesterday, Mark Alpern
yesterday and by the way, they'll both join us today.
I kept asking what is the turnout and we discovered
we learned something that the turnout around Temple University that
has about twenty five thousand students was very high. MSDNC
was showing it all day long, creating a false impression

(11:06):
that the turnout in Philly was massive, and that lie
kept getting repeated by everybody in the media. Oh, Philly
turnout is massive, massive, massive, massive. It wasn't massive, it
turns out. And I got that information eventually from Jeff Bartos,
and I got it from Mark Alpern, and I'm grateful
because it helped me make I knew in my heart

(11:28):
they could never catch up, but it wasn't. But I
still did not want to underestimate the importance of people voting,
and I wanted everybody to believe, and I will say
this in every election going forward, that your vote will
be the deciding vote. And so it ended up that,
you know, I'm on the panel last night with my

(11:49):
colleagues and friends of Fox, and I'm like, guys, let
me tell you something that is just a fact at
this point. And I'm talking to the top data people
in Georgia, the top data people in North Carolin, I
am talking to the top data people in Wisconsin. Wisconsin
is another case in point. It was almost mathematically impossible,

(12:09):
although Democrats did pretty well day of voting yesterday in Wisconsin,
that they would catch up. And I went in and
I just said, let me tell you what I believe
the reality is, and that is that Donald Trump is
going to win Georgia, that Donald Trump is going to
win North Carolina, that Donald Trump is going to win Arizona,

(12:30):
that Donald Trump likely will win Nevada, and that the
only path that then existed for Kamala Harris was for
her to sweep the Blue Wall. The Blue Wall is
known as Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan. And a lot of
people look at me like, Okay, that's a pretty bold prediction.

(12:51):
I said, if I'm wrong, let's have t shirts made up,
handies wrong. But I knew it based on the data.
Now I did know it. Did I want to focus
on it, oh, because I feel that that at some point,
if you think that your vote doesn't count or is
not important, I don't want people not participating. It is
critical that we take this gift. Here's the next thing

(13:13):
I want to say to all of you. I want
to say thank you. I want to say thank you
the stated policies of Kamala Harris and I have nothing
against her personally, and she has conceded this race. He
called Donald Trump. We expect. At the top of the
next hour, she goes speak to the country won't carry
some of it. I want to thank all of you

(13:36):
for taking the blessings of liberty, the blessing of this
great constitutional republic and our constitutional right to vote, and
taking the time to be educated and casting a vote
to stop what is the single most radical, extreme stated

(13:58):
agenda of any presidential candidate I can think of an
American history. It would have been a disaster, a predictable disaster.
I've gone over all the topics, no need to repeat
him here, and you, now, I believe, have given us
a chance to get this country back on track. And

(14:19):
for all of you that are afraid Rachel Maddow is
going to be taken off the air and put in jail,
or Debbie Dingle or the ladies of the View, and
I have all their crazy comments. We can go through
some of that today if you want. No, none of
that is going to happen. It was fear mongering, like
scaring old people that the social security of Medicare is

(14:41):
going to be taken away, that birth control was going
to be limited, IVF treatment would be stopped, a national
abortion ban project twenty twenty five. None of it's true.
But Donald Trump is going to lock up people in
political opponents. It's not true, and I promise that I
will stick up for any liberal if Donald Trump wants
to take him off the air. Bill Maher was the

(15:02):
only one that seemed to get it. Eight nine four one, Shawn.
I feel relief today. I feel humbled. I am grateful
for all of you for what you did yesterday, not me,
what you did, and I think our country is going
to be a lot better off. You know. No, I'm
not spiking the football. Linda will do that later. I'm

(15:24):
sure I will love more than this huge, historic landslide
victory of President Trump will get to the insanity of
the liberal media and people losing it on social media.
We have Kamala Harris conceding and Joe Biden inviting Trump

(15:47):
to the White House.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
Oh ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. Welcome
on board Trump's like sixteen hundred with non stop service
to Canada. We'd like to welcome all our celebrity defectors,
and we'll get you out of America just as soon
as the tower clears. That's for takeoff. Once we reach
our cruising altitude, flight attendants will pass through the cabin,
collecting your US citizenship renouncement forms and serving complimentary beverages

(16:14):
and disposable crying towels. And once I reach the drop zone,
you'll be guided to the exit ramp at the rear
of the plane, or you'll take a trash course on
parachute folding and be tennison shortly thereafter. We'd like to
thank you for choosing Trump Airlines and hoop you have
a soft landing.

Speaker 1 (16:29):
Good Bye. Remember all the liberals twenty sixteen, Remember all
of them, or we're going to leave the country. Well,
I offered at the time, I said I would. I
would pay for a one way private jet trip or
any for any group of liberals that want to leave,

(16:52):
with one stipulation. If you make that choice, you can't
come back ever. If not, you have to pay me
back ten times the amount of money. I think that's
a fair offer, anyway, eight hundred and nine foot one
sean if you, oh, I do have the twenty twenty
four with the people that said they would lose the country.

(17:13):
These are the people that said they leave this year
or is this from twenty sixteen? Okay, let's see Alec Baldwin,
WHOOPI Goldberg, John Legend Chrissy Tigan, Rob Reiner, Barber streisand Cher,
Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, Megan rap what is her name
for Pino the soccer player or Pino Tom Hanks, Amy

(17:36):
Schumer aoc. All right, and that's not even all of them.
You know, we can do multiple trips. It's fine, do
multiple trips, or get a bigger plane. Maybe I'll have
to you know, this is gonna say rent the Boeing.
I don't know if I want to rent them.

Speaker 3 (17:50):
Listen, they just want to be one of the regular people.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
So you know it's going to be coach. We can
fit more on there.

Speaker 2 (17:55):
They'll be nice and cozy all together with their like
minded you know, woke ideology. Be good.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
Is Linda's spiking the football even I'm sorry what it is?
We expect Kamala Harris will be speaking in the next
twenty four minutes. We'll cover that live. And anyway, I
didn't hear what you said. What he's saying in my ear,
you're talking to me. Yeah, we'll get to that, and
when she does, we will be covering that. Looks and

(18:22):
we still have the Harris Biden economy, and we'll have
it for the next you know, until the next fiscal
year begins in October, although hopefully maybe we can do
something before then. But if you want to save money,
one way to save money and not sacrifice service to
switch to my cell phone company. And that's Pure Talk.
It's a veteran run company. H and anyway, they support

(18:43):
veterans in so many different ways. They've alleviated ten million
dollars in veterans debt. They donated fifty grand to the
Micro Works, a great, great charity providing scholarships to veterans
learning trades after active duty. Now out of company, you
want to get behind. You get the same cell towers,
same five G network, same service. You pay about half

(19:06):
The average family saves close to one thousand dollars if
not more a year, and you get everything at half
the cost. Make the switch, and you're helping our vets
at the same time. Dial pound two to fifty, say
the keyword saved now. Do it now. You save an
additional fifty percent off your first month, and they invest
in jobs to better serve you Pound two fifty keywords
saved now from our friends at Pure Talk, America's wireless company. Anyway.

(19:32):
So Kamala Harris I don't know what happened last It
was very bizarre because they just kind of skipped out on,
you know, speaking last night, and I'm not really sure
what that was all about. She was supposed to I
forgot what college. I was Howard University where she was
supposed to have it. So she's going to have this

(19:53):
this afternoon. But she is already She already called Donald Trump,
according to an AP at about one fifty eastern today,
about almost two hours ago, and congratulated him, and the
AD said they discussed the importance importance of a peaceful
transfer of power. Now the blame game has begun. And

(20:16):
never mind that without Joe Biden, Kamala Harris would never
have gotten anywhere near the White House. A senior Harris
campaign officials blaming Joe for Kamala's disaster. Last night, Democrats
picked through the records of this you know, landslide victory
of Donald Trump and unnamed senior Harris campaign official telling
Fake New CNN that Biden holds a lot of the

(20:38):
blame for her loss. And anyway, you know, one thing
we clearly already starting to see take place as finger
pointing in the blame game, and a lot of it
is directed at President Biden. One senior official that I
talked to, you know, said that Biden will hold a
lot of the blame, and frankly, they said he should.
I thought he was the hero. Oh, he's going to

(20:58):
go down in history as one of the greatest ever.
What about the people that were responsible for the coup,
you know, the Kamala last night? Is this really Joe
Biden's fault? You know, appears to you know, have done
so poorly in Illinois and New York City. In New
York City, she won sixty seven point eight percent of
the vote, may sound like a you know, big number,

(21:20):
but not for New York when Joe Biden won, you
know fully you know, ten points more and twenty twenty
and Hillary Clinton seventy nine percent, twelve points more. So
I'm not sure why they're blaming Biden for this. They're
the ones that pushed him out, and I'm sure that
Kamala was a part of it. I'm and they can

(21:40):
blame them all. I guess they can blame him for
the garbage comment. But anyway, President Biden did call to
congratulate Donald Trump and invited him to the White House,
and he is committed to ensuring a smooth transition, emphasized
the importance of working to bring the country together. Biden
is also spoke with Harris. Why do I think in

(22:01):
my mind and heart, I have no evidence to back
this up at all that Joe Biden, you know, deep
down inside, never thought that Kamala could win, knew she'd
be a bad candidate and didn't want to get out anyway.
There's a lot of flurry on social media when the
first Lady, Joe Biden wore a GOP red colored pantsuit

(22:22):
to cast her ballot. Was she sending a message? If
you look on social media, Joe Biden is wearing the
gop shade of red to cast her vote. Joe Biden
is skipping the Kamala Harris watch party. Do the math.
According to some people posting on social media, Joe Biden
is wearing Maga red to go vote today. She wore

(22:42):
all red as the wife of a Democratic politician. There's
no way she doesn't know how this looks. That sounds ridiculous.
Then you have the Harris campaign manager, Jen O'Malley Dylan
sending a letter to campaign staff, and you know, a
few moments ago, the Vice President connected with President Trump
to concede the race. She told him she would work

(23:05):
with President Biden to ensure the peaceful transfer of power
unlike what we saw in twenty twenty. And it goes
on from there, and then it ends with but the
work of protecting America from the impacts of the Trump
presidency starts now. Okay, the one person that was gracious
was actually Mark Cuban. There were a couple of people
and he said, congratulations, Donald Trump, you won fair and square.

(23:29):
And he didn't exactly help. None of these surrogates helped
at all. I wonder how that Jackass, George Clooney's feeling today.
Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, are they going to
take the blame for what I believe they're responsible for
pushing Joe Biden out of the way and denying the
whole time he was president that he had a cognitive decline. Anyway,

(23:54):
he said, you won fair and square. He said congrats
to Elon Musk as well. Godspeed. Fair enough. We've had
many shows day after election or it sucks, it's not fun,
I get it, you know. In so many ways, Jeff
Bezos actually congratulated President elect Donald Trump. He said, a

(24:17):
big congratulations on X to an extraordinary political comeback and
decisive victory. No nation has bigger opportunities. Wishing Trump all
success in leading and uniting the America. We all love
kind of gracious on his part. The biggest loser. And
I said this last night, legacy media, And I said,

(24:39):
journalism is dead in two thousand and seven and eight.
All these conglomerates, all these big newspapers, New York Times,
Washington Post, you name them, all of them, ABC, NBCCBS
all of them. You know, all these fake news you
know channels together combined. They threw everything they had at

(25:04):
this man to destroy him. I mean, they sued him.
Some people shot at him, that's separate apart. They put
him on trial trial, they'd written him off. They called
him every name in the book, Nazi, fascist, racist, you
name it, garbage, his supporter's garbage. And Donald Trump has

(25:29):
defied every one of those critics, and he's still not
only standing, he's standing triumphantly. I mean, it really is
an incredible thing. And what it shows me is that
Americans now are selective and where they get their information from,
and that I think is they're never going to get

(25:50):
that trust back, and they don't deserve it. By the way,
Liz Cheney endorsed candidates lose their House races, including a
three term Pennsylvania income not a shock there. But look
at the support from African Americans and Hispanic Americans that
help push Trump to victory. You know, Donald Trump won
Hispanic American men fifty four to forty four. But the

(26:14):
Republicans have become the party of working men and women.
You know, while the Democratic Party reaches out to Julia
Roberts doing ads to light it for women to light
to their husbands, and George Clooney saying, yeah, you can
secretly not tell your friends you like Donald Trump. If
you have to tell people, lie to people about who
you're voting for because it's too embarrassing, maybe that's not

(26:36):
the person to vote for. One bit of good news
out of this election, the Justice Department is now evaluating
how to wind down the federal criminal cases against Donald
Trump before he takes office to comply with long standing
Department policy that a sitting president cannot be prosecuted. According
to NBC News, sources say the DOJ have come to

(26:58):
grips with the fact that no trial has possible anytime soon.
In either of the cases. They have done everything to
destroy this man. While Donald Trump is vowing to lead
a golden age of America in his victory speech and
fix everything. You know this this has to be one
of the greatest political comebacks in history that we've ever seen.

(27:21):
And all of you, I go back to my original comments,
and I'm not spiking the football. I honestly feel grateful
and humbled because I just I see this agenda of
mandatory gun buybacks and gender affirming care without parental rights
for minors, and you know, no restrictions on late term

(27:44):
abortion at all, wide open borders, the biggest national security
threat in history, and pre sex change operations and defund
dismantled nobail laws and an economic policy led by the
Green New Deal and the elimination of private health insurance
is disaster. New York Times full blown meltdown mode over

(28:05):
Trump's victory. They can't be magnanimous, not even for a
single day. They're blaming the American people. America makes a
perilous choice. American voters have made the choice to return
Donald Trump to the White House, setting the nation on
a precarious course that no one can fully foresee. They

(28:25):
just can't get beyond themselves, you know, and it just
is what it is, you know, in the face of
this reality.

Speaker 2 (28:35):
You know.

Speaker 1 (28:36):
Over at MSDNC conspiracy theorists suggesting Donald Trump would make
a national abortion banned by Executive Vord Rachel he said,
over and over again, He's not going to do it.
Alex Wagner grappling with the reality that the mag of
movement is real with legs. Gail King fretting over Trump's

(28:56):
unchecked commands, saying it seems like he will be in
power with no guard rails. Joy Reid. Nobody wants Donald
Trump to be president more than bb NET and Yahoo.
What does that have to do with anything? Our old
friend Nicole Wallace asking what kind of information young men
were looking at who assumed the economy would improve under Trump.

(29:18):
Maybe his past policies the ones that worked. Jake Tapper
was completely stunned in his reaction to all of this.
He asked their chief John King to pull up a
graphic showing which states that Harris got at least three
percent more votes than Biden had in the last election,
to be presented with a gray map reflecting her failure

(29:41):
even in that.

Speaker 3 (29:42):
So you asked, are there any place that said the
vice president is overperforming Joe Biden twenty twenty, So we
can show you that as well. We just bring that
out here, Harris overperforming twenty twenty.

Speaker 1 (29:51):
Holy smokes, there you go.

Speaker 3 (29:52):
So let this go away and see if there's anything
in the East side. There literally nothing, literally nothing literally
not one county three percent or more at least in
the county right now. And so you come in the
full you come in full county there. So there you
see by that states, Yeah, so in counties in fifty
eight counties.

Speaker 1 (30:11):
You know, Bette Midler's Mindler suggesting drinking drino if Donald
Trump wins? What's wrong with these people? Oh? Man, I
didn't see this, but a lot of people wrote me.
Apparently there was some exchange between Rove and Juan Williams
saying racism and sexism propelled Trump to victory. A lot

(30:31):
of people have said this on the left. It's just
I don't know, it's poor. Van Jones was nearly crying.
David Axelrod, Let's be absolutely blunt. There is racial bias
in this country. There's sexism. That became the talking point.
By the way, that was all started by Barack Obama.

(30:53):
You know, he's trying to get African to quote the Brothers,
and you know they they may not want a woman
president of Stacey Abrams that there's racism and sexism. They
keep just repeating it. Maybe it's their policies. Why was
Van Jones on the verge of tears? You know, remember
he's the one that famously said this is a blacklash

(31:14):
or something to that effect. It's not going to stop,
it's going to continue. But the work is going to
