  Brian freaking Stelter,

  Leon,
• 0:31
  Leon Wolf is going to join us to break down
• 0:33
  the multitude of mainstream media failures in this week's election,
• 0:37
  but we're going to start by doing the Democrats' blame game.
• 0:39
  Yes,
• 0:39
  we're in the one of the most fun times after an election where
• 0:43
  the losing campaign is just coming up with all
• 0:45
  sorts of reasons to blame all their enemies.
• 0:46
  It's going to be fun.
• 0:47
  Biden gets blamed by Harris' allies for
• 0:49
  the vice president's resounding loss to Trump.
• 0:52
  The biggest onus on this loss is on President Biden,
• 0:55
  said Andrew Yang,
• 0:55
  who ran against him.
• 0:57
  Uh,
• 0:57
  back in the day,
• 0:58
  if he had stepped down in January instead of July,
• 1:01
  we may be in a very,
• 1:01
  very different place.
• 1:02
  Maybe in 20 or 30 years,
• 1:04
  history will remember Biden for some of these achievements,
• 1:06
  said
• 1:07
  Taham Reilly,
• 1:08
  co-director of the Center for an American Independent
• 1:11
  and Sustainable Democracy at Arizona State University.
• 1:14
  But in the shorter term,
• 1:15
  I don't know that he escapes the legacy of
• 1:17
  being the president who beat Donald Trump only into usher
• 1:20
  in another Donald Trump administration 4 years later.
• 1:22
  By the way,
• 1:23
  like Biden's got this to fall back on.
• 1:25
  You can say what you want about all these elections,
• 1:27
  but he's gonna have
• 1:28
  the history books are going to say he was the only guy that beat Donald Trump.
• 1:32
  And
• 1:32
  the,
• 1:33
  the Harris people hate this.
• 1:35
  The Clinton people hate it,
• 1:36
  and he's going to try to remind everybody of it constantly.
• 1:39
  Uh,
• 1:39
  some high ranking Democrats,
• 1:40
  including 3 advisers to the Harris campaign,
• 1:42
  expressed deep frustration with Biden for failing
• 1:44
  to recognize earlier in the election cycle
• 1:46
  that he was not up to the challenge.
• 1:48
  The advisors spoke on the condition of anonymity
• 1:50
  because they were not authorized to comment publicly.
• 1:53
  Now,
• 1:53
  of course.
• 1:54
  What's hilarious about this is
• 1:55
  they could have just said it.
• 1:58
  They could have leaked stuff to the media
• 2:00
  to make them report it.
• 2:01
  They could have encouraged them to push it along.
• 2:03
  They decided not to.
• 2:04
  And of course the media kind of doesn't like Harris all that much,
• 2:06
  even though they faked it later on.
• 2:07
  Here is,
• 2:08
  by the way,
• 2:09
  senior
• 2:10
  White House correspondent of CNN MJ Lee on all of this.
• 2:14
  One thing that we are clearly already starting to see
• 2:17
  take place is finger pointing and the blame game,
• 2:20
  and a lot of that is going to be directed at President Biden.
• 2:24
  And this is.
• 2:25
  Coming from some folks inside of the Harris campaign,
• 2:28
  one senior official
• 2:29
  I just talked to said Biden will hold a lot of blame for it,
• 2:33
  and frankly they said
• 2:35
  he should.
• 2:36
  One of the ways in which he is being blamed right now
• 2:39
  actually just goes back to the simple decision of seeking
• 2:42
  a second term and re-election in the first place.
• 2:45
  They had plenty of chances to stop that.
• 2:47
  They decided not to.
• 2:48
  They decided to lie to all of us about it and say he was sharp as a tack.
• 2:53
  I mean it's just unbelievable they're going to blame him.
• 2:56
  I mean,
• 2:56
  the guy gave up his presidency.
• 2:57
  He gave up his legacy eventually.
• 2:59
  He didn't want to,
• 3:00
  but he did do it eventually.
• 3:01
  And the fact that they're going to blame him is just embarrassing.
• 3:04
  And now the other side is also leaking stuff in the media and getting stuff written.
• 3:08
  Uh,
• 3:08
  maybe Joe Biden was right.
• 3:10
  He could have beaten Donald Trump.
• 3:11
  The deposing of Biden will remain a great
• 3:13
  source of controversy within the Democratic Party.
• 3:15
  Stephen Shire,
• 3:16
  political scientist and analyst,
• 3:17
  told Newsweek.
• 3:18
  It's clear that Biden,
• 3:19
  even with his cognitive disabilities,
• 3:21
  which they're now just admitting,
• 3:22
  by the way,
• 3:22
  uh,
• 3:23
  would have performed better than Harris in states like Pennsylvania.
• 3:26
  I mean,
• 3:28
  I don't know.
• 3:28
  To me it seems like she probably actually did
• 3:31
  a little bit better than he would have done.
• 3:32
  I don't know that for a fact.
• 3:34
  I don't think there's any way either one of
• 3:35
  them are gonna beat Trump in this election,
• 3:37
  uh,
• 3:38
  but it was close.
• 3:39
  I mean,
• 3:39
  if you go back,
• 3:39
  people are gonna look at this as this big blowout.
• 3:42
  There's 7 swing states.
• 3:43
  All of them,
• 3:44
  he won by less than what,
• 3:46
  uh,
• 3:46
  4 or 5 points is the max right now.
• 3:49
  That'll probably still tighten as they count in Arizona
• 3:51
  and Nevada.
• 3:52
  Uh,
• 3:53
  most of the.
• 3:53
  States though were like 12 point states.
• 3:56
  It was a pretty close race,
• 3:57
  generally speaking,
• 3:59
  but
• 3:59
  he won all 7 of the swing states.
• 4:01
  Now why did that happen?
• 4:02
  Voters were fed up over immigration and they voted for Trump.
• 4:05
  Well,
• 4:05
  this was obvious
• 4:07
  to anyone
• 4:08
  who looked at any of this.
• 4:10
  We all know,
• 4:11
  it was one of one of the top issues the entire time,
• 4:13
  and this is one of the reasons why at the end of the day,
• 4:15
  even though I did think it was a close race,
• 4:17
  I wound up picking Donald Trump to win it,
• 4:20
  because
• 4:20
  the undercurrent here
• 4:22
  is really,
• 4:22
  really significant in his direction.
• 4:25
  People really didn't want,
• 4:27
  uh,
• 4:28
  to,
• 4:28
  uh,
• 4:28
  reward a party who just did what they just did.
• 4:33
  It was 4 years of a horror show.
• 4:36
  Whether you like Trump or not,
• 4:37
  you don't want to reward that.
• 4:39
  And that kind of what I think at the end of the day was the difference.
• 4:41
  Uh,
• 4:42
  all those A-list celebs couldn't save Harris,
• 4:44
  but Joe Rogan
• 4:46
  helped Trump.
• 4:47
  I mean,
• 4:47
  one of my favorite observations of this,
• 4:49
  uh,
• 4:49
  from,
• 4:49
  uh,
• 4:49
  Glenn,
• 4:50
  uh,
• 4:50
  back over this
• 4:52
  election cycle was his talking about
• 4:54
  this
• 4:55
  podcast theory,
• 4:56
  right?
• 4:56
  And you know.
• 4:59
  The podcast thing I think was a brilliant
• 5:01
  take by the campaign,
• 5:03
  uh,
• 5:03
  because,
• 5:04
  uh,
• 5:04
  you know,
• 5:04
  look,
• 5:05
  putting Donald Trump in a room with,
• 5:07
  you know,
• 5:07
  Maggie Haberman for the 15th time wasn't gonna move one vote for him.
• 5:11
  Putting him in a room for a fun,
• 5:13
  kind of jokey,
• 5:14
  but kind of serious 3 hour conversation with Joe Rogan,
• 5:17
  that's hitting voters that don't normally even get to the polls.
• 5:19
  And it's also where Trump shines,
• 5:21
  because he's an interesting guy,
• 5:22
  he's had an incredible life.
• 5:24
  He can tell great stories about people you know,
• 5:26
  you know.
• 5:27
  And you know,
• 5:28
  you have a different relationship
• 5:30
  with a Joe Rogan,
• 5:32
  if you listen to him,
• 5:33
  and a Jennifer Aniston,
• 5:35
  if you watch her.
• 5:36
  Jennifer Aniston is a star.
• 5:38
  Beyonce's a star.
• 5:39
  Taylor Swift is a star.
• 5:41
  These are people that don't,
• 5:41
  you don't seem like you can relate to.
• 5:44
  And look,
• 5:44
  Joe Rogan makes as much money as a lot of those people do.
• 5:47
  He's got a massive audience,
• 5:49
  but he comes off as kind of like your friend.
• 5:51
  And you kind of feel like you're listening to some guy that you,
• 5:53
  you have beers with.
• 5:55
  Taylor Swift doesn't feel like that to anybody,
• 5:56
  even if you like her music.
• 5:58
  She's like this star that's above everything.
• 6:00
  That's not the way that she comes off,
• 6:02
  and it's not the way that Joe Rogan comes off.
• 6:04
  It's like,
• 6:05
  so even though he's very,
• 6:06
  very famous,
• 6:06
  he doesn't come off that way.
• 6:08
  So it's like your friend telling you
• 6:09
  maybe who you should vote for rather than some celebrity you can't connect with.
• 6:14
  Let me give you a little piece of Ezra Klein,
• 6:16
  who had a longer essay about this.
• 6:19
  It included
• 6:20
  some of the Joe Rogan effect in it.
• 6:22
  I thought this part was interesting.
• 6:23
  Listen.
• 6:23
  The Democratic Party had spent years kicking people out of its tent.
• 6:28
  I just went and I listened to some of the
• 6:29
  appearance Elon Musk made on Joe Rogan's podcast on Monday.
• 6:34
  It's gotten really deeply weird and right wing and conspiratorial over there.
• 6:38
  It wasn't that many years ago that Rogan
• 6:40
  had Bernie Sanders on for a friendly interview.
• 6:43
  And then Rogan kind of sort of endorsed him.
• 6:46
  And you know what happened after that?
• 6:49
  Many liberals were furious at Bernie Sanders for going on Rogan in the first place.
• 6:53
  I was still on Twitter back then and I wrote about
• 6:57
  how of course Bernie Sanders was right to be there,
• 6:59
  that the fact that Sanders could attract people like Rogan
• 7:02
  was one of the very best arguments for his campaign,
• 7:04
  one of the reasons
• 7:05
  he might be able to beat someone like Donald Trump.
• 7:08
  This was 2020.
• 7:10
  If you wanted to beat Trump,
• 7:11
  of course you try to win over Rogan and his voters.
• 7:14
  But online liberals got so pissed at me for that,
• 7:18
  I was briefly a trending topic on Twitter.
• 7:20
  Rogan was a transphobe,
• 7:22
  an Islamophobe,
• 7:23
  a sexist,
• 7:25
  the kind of person you wanted to marginalize,
• 7:27
  not the kind of person you wanted to talk to.
• 7:30
  But if these last years have proven anything,
• 7:32
  it's,
• 7:32
  you don't get to choose who is marginalized.
• 7:35
  Democrats should have been going on Rogan regularly all these years.
• 7:38
  They should have been prioritizing it this year.
• 7:40
  Yes,
• 7:41
  Harris should have been there and in places like it.
• 7:43
  Same for Tim Walsh.
• 7:45
  On YouTube alone,
• 7:45
  Rogan's interview with Trump
• 7:47
  was viewed some 46 million times.
• 7:50
  You're just gonna abandon that?
• 7:53
  In an election where you think the other side winning means fascism,
• 7:57
  kind of a good point,
• 7:58
  and I think it's actually true.
• 7:59
  He's obviously a liberal,
• 8:00
  but he's saying,
• 8:01
  I think the truth here,
• 8:03
  which is
• 8:04
  the left has been just surgically and systematically
• 8:07
  cutting out pieces of the population and saying,
• 8:11
  you're not up to snuff,
• 8:12
  you're not pure enough for us,
• 8:14
  go away,
• 8:14
  you're a phobe.
• 8:15
  Of some sort,
• 8:16
  you're an ist
• 8:17
  of some sort
• 8:18
  that burned them and good.
• 8:20
  I'm glad it did because their,
• 8:22
  their ideology is toxic,
• 8:24
  but hey,
• 8:25
  we're here for what
• 8:26
  this is the last show of the week for me and
• 8:28
  I want to celebrate a little bit and just just just revel
• 8:32
  in all of their wallowing.
• 8:34
  Here is Stephen Colbert last night.
• 8:37
  Well,
• 8:41
  It happened
• 8:43
  again.
• 8:44
  After a bizarre and vicious campaign fueled by a desperate need not to go to jail,
• 8:48
  Donald Trump has won the 2024 election.
• 8:50
  All day yesterday I was walking around proudly wearing my I Voted sticker.
• 8:54
  Today I wore my I am questioning my
• 8:57
  fundamental belief in the goodness of humanity sticker.
• 9:00
  Get those out.
• 9:02
  Give those out
• 9:03
  at a bake sale
• 9:06
  outside,
• 9:07
  uh,
• 9:07
  now as a late night host,
• 9:08
  people often say to me,
• 9:10
  come on,
• 9:11
  part of you has gotta want Trump to win
• 9:14
  because he gives you so much material to work with.
• 9:17
  No,
• 9:18
  no.
• 9:20
  No one tells the guy who cleans the bathroom,
• 9:22
  wow,
• 9:22
  you must love it when someone has explosive diarrhea.
• 9:25
  There's so much material for you to work with.
• 9:29
  Get it?
• 9:30
  Now,
• 9:30
  it's the same.
• 9:32
  You understand that?
• 9:33
  See how they're learning.
• 9:34
  I wish you wish,
• 9:36
  so many of us wish this hadn't happened,
• 9:38
  but that is not for us to decide.
• 9:40
  This is a democracy.
• 9:42
  That's democracy with a capital
• 9:44
  duh.
• 9:46
  And in this democracy,
• 9:47
  the majority has spoken,
• 9:49
  and they said they don't care that much about democracy.
• 9:52
  It's not a democracy,
• 9:53
  Steve,
• 9:54
  just so you know,
• 9:56
  not that you'd ever learn,
• 9:57
  but
• 9:58
  by the way,
• 9:58
  if you've thought being called garbage was bad,
• 10:00
  now you've been called diarrhea,
• 10:01
  so congratulations.
• 10:03
  Here is Jimmy Kimmel,
• 10:04
  and he's very tearful.
• 10:07
  Let's be honest,
• 10:08
  it was a terrible night last night.
• 10:10
  It was a terrible night
• 10:11
  for women,
• 10:12
  for children,
• 10:13
  for the hundreds of thousands of,
• 10:14
  of hardworking immigrants who make this country go,
• 10:17
  um,
• 10:19
  for healthcare,
• 10:20
  for what happened to this guy,
• 10:23
  Mr.
• 10:24
  Women jumping on trampolines and bikinis guy is doing this for justice,
• 10:28
  for free speech.
• 10:29
  It was a terrible night for poor people,
• 10:31
  for the middle class,
• 10:32
  for seniors who rely on Social Security,
• 10:34
  for our allies in Ukraine.
• 10:37
  For NATO,
• 10:38
  for
• 10:39
  the truth,
• 10:40
  oh my God,
• 10:41
  and democracy and decency,
• 10:45
  and it was a terrible night for everyone who voted against him and guess what,
• 10:48
  it was a bad night for everyone who voted for him too.
• 10:50
  You just don't realize it yet and
• 10:52
  see,
• 10:52
  you're too dumb,
• 10:53
  you're too dumb.
• 10:54
  You're garbage,
• 10:55
  you're diarrhea,
• 10:55
  and you're too dumb to know your vote
• 10:58
  was a good idea.
• 10:59
  That's the attitude
• 11:00
  you're gonna see more and more of it.
• 11:02
  Here is uh Nicole
• 11:04
  Wallace giving us some new information.
• 11:06
  The country we have lives in two totally
• 11:09
  separated information ecosystems.
• 11:12
  Whatever happens,
• 11:13
  we'll have to really understand the information
• 11:16
  consumption that young men have and why they
• 11:17
  think that the economy will be better under Donald Trump when it never was.
• 11:21
  It never was.
• 11:22
  The Trump economy.
• 11:23
  It was terrible.
• 11:24
  Now of course for Nicole Wallace it's better because she was basically a
• 11:27
  no name Republican and now she's making millions of dollars at MSNBC.
• 11:31
  So her economy is doing great
• 11:32
  in the Biden era.
• 11:34
  How about The View?
• 11:36
  Yes,
• 11:36
  the Queens of awful,
• 11:38
  The View.
• 11:40
  It would help if we could regulate social media because one of the
• 11:42
  biggest offenders is DC and Congress have not been able to do one thing
• 11:47
  in regard to the rogue corporations
• 11:52
  we would definitely win if the other side couldn't speak.
• 11:56
  It would be so much easier.
• 11:57
  What if we regulate them completely out of existence?
• 12:00
  That'll work.
• 12:01
  Oh,
• 12:01
  that's a fun one.
• 12:02
  a little more.
• 12:03
  I mean,
• 12:03
  one clip is not enough from The View.
• 12:06
  I'm surprised at the results,
• 12:08
  but I'm not surprised.
• 12:10
  As a woman of color,
• 12:14
  that a mixed race woman married to a Jewish guy
• 12:16
  could be elected president of this country,
• 12:19
  and I think that it had nothing to do with policy.
• 12:22
  I think this was a referendum of um.
• 12:25
  Cultural resentment
• 12:26
  in this country.
• 12:27
  Got it.
• 12:27
  You're a racist,
• 12:28
  that's why you're a racist and a sexist.
• 12:30
  And by the way,
• 12:31
  it's,
• 12:32
  it's us Republicans who are really worried about Jews.
• 12:37
  I mean,
• 12:37
  has anyone seen any of the college protests where
• 12:41
  they cheer on freaking Hamas decapitating Jewish children,
• 12:44
  but it's us.
• 12:45
  We're scared of the Jews.
• 12:48
  That's us,
• 12:49
  apparently.
• 12:50
  Unfreaking believable.
• 12:52
  How about Morning Joe?
• 12:55
  But it's not just misogyny from white men.
• 12:58
  It's misogyny from Hispanic men.
• 13:00
  It's misogyny from black men,
• 13:02
  things we've all been talking about
• 13:04
  who do not want a woman.
• 13:06
  Leading them
• 13:07
  might be race issues
• 13:09
  with Hispanics.
• 13:11
  They don't want a black woman
• 13:12
  as president of the United States.
• 13:13
  Oh,
• 13:14
  no,
• 13:14
  it's,
• 13:15
  I see,
• 13:15
  it's all skin color and genitals and all the things.
• 13:19
  It's not because she sucks.
• 13:21
  And by the way,
• 13:22
  every single Democrat before
• 13:25
  Joe Biden dropped out of this race would have told you the exact same thing.
• 13:28
  She sucks.
• 13:28
  They leaked it to the media constantly.
• 13:31
  But they had to pretend.
• 13:33
  Uh,
• 13:33
  here is,
• 13:34
  you want to see how well she did in comparison to Joe Biden?
• 13:36
  Let Jake Tapper explain it for you.
• 13:38
  So you asked,
• 13:39
  are there any places that the vice president is overperforming
• 13:42
  Joe Biden in 2020?
• 13:43
  So we can show you that as well.
• 13:44
  We just bring that out here.
• 13:45
  Harris overperforming in 2020.
• 13:47
  Holy smokes.
• 13:48
  There you go.
• 13:48
  Uh,
• 13:49
  so let this go away and see if there's anything
• 13:50
  on the east side there.
• 13:52
  Uh,
• 13:52
  literally nothing.
• 13:57
  Literally
• 13:58
  nothing,
• 13:59
  which is,
• 14:00
  by the way,
• 14:00
  what her entire campaign was about.
• 14:02
  Uh,
• 14:02
  Bette Midler has deactivated her ex account.
• 14:05
  Uh,
• 14:05
  why?
• 14:05
  Because she posted a photo that is she would drink Drano
• 14:08
  if Trump won.
• 14:09
  We don't know if that's the reason she deactivated it.
• 14:11
  Maybe she actually drank the Drano.
• 14:13
  I don't know.
• 14:14
  I don't know that would be very,
• 14:15
  very sad.
• 14:16
  Look,
• 14:16
  they're not going to do any introspection,
• 14:17
  I don't think.
• 14:18
  I mean there's even a chance of it.
• 14:20
  Um,
• 14:20
  you know,
• 14:21
  they went off the deep end
• 14:23
  and over and over again we told them don't go off the deep end.
• 14:26
  I don't know why we told them,
• 14:27
  we were giving them free campaign advice,
• 14:28
  but they didn't listen to it thankfully.
• 14:30
  Maybe that was the best way to make them not listen to it by us encouraging them to
• 14:33
  get sane.
• 14:34
  You knew they would not become sane.
• 14:36
  And what's going on here and one of the reasons why you're not going
• 14:38
  to see any reflection from the media in a situation like this is because
• 14:42
  this sort of social media effect,
• 14:44
  right?
• 14:44
  We all know that on,
• 14:45
  for example,
• 14:46
  Twitter
• 14:49
  engagement is king,
• 14:50
  right on all the social media platforms.
• 14:52
  So the people who kind of say boring things
• 14:54
  don't really get lots and lots of retweets.
• 14:56
  It's more people who kind of say the more,
• 15:00
  I don't want to say outlandish,
• 15:01
  sometimes it's outlandish,
• 15:02
  but.
• 15:02
  Uh,
• 15:03
  Words that kind of entice,
• 15:05
  right?
• 15:05
  Get people fired up.
• 15:06
  The more you can get people fired up,
• 15:08
  the more interaction you get,
• 15:09
  the better you do.
• 15:11
  And it's like,
• 15:11
  that's always been a social media phenomenon from the beginning.
• 15:13
  That's not Twitter's fault.
• 15:14
  It's human beings' fault,
• 15:16
  OK?
• 15:16
  You chase kind of the most salacious stuff.
• 15:20
  The media though,
• 15:21
  has now become
• 15:23
  social media.
• 15:25
  They now,
• 15:26
  because there will be maybe a few more journalists who are like,
• 15:29
  gosh,
• 15:29
  maybe we handled that poorly.
• 15:31
  But
• 15:31
  their audience doesn't want to hear that.
• 15:33
  They want to hear actually Donald Trump stole the election.
• 15:36
  It was the Russians.
• 15:37
  So those people will get promoted.
• 15:39
  Those people will get the social media clicks.
• 15:41
  Those people will get the jobs
• 15:42
  in the media.
• 15:43
  And now it's starting to even filter up to the White House.
• 15:46
  Why do you think they had TikTok influencers,
• 15:48
  women,
• 15:49
  men with beards and dresses
• 15:51
  at the White House?
• 15:52
  Because they're becoming TikTok too.
• 15:54
  And so only the worst instincts of the left will continue to be reinforced.
• 15:58
  So if you think they're going to get any better,
• 15:59
  they won't.
• 16:00
  It's only going to get worse and worse and worse and worse,
• 16:02
  and it's just a matter
• 16:04
  as to whether
• 16:05
  conservatives can put in a sane agenda and govern effectively.
• 16:09
  That's the only thing in the way of conservative principles going forward.
• 16:14
  Not always easy for Republicans to do so.
• 16:16
  We'll see how well that goes over the next few years.
• 16:29
  Going online without Express VPN would be a little bit
• 16:32
  like forgetting to mute yourself on a Zoom call,
• 16:34
  you know,
• 16:35
  you don't necessarily want people to know what you're saying about them
• 16:38
  under your breath.
• 16:39
  Without Express VPN,
• 16:40
  your internet service provider,
• 16:41
  your mobile provider,
• 16:42
  any Wi Fi network administrators,
• 16:44
  they can all see what websites you're visiting.
• 16:46
  They can see
• 16:47
  whatever you're doing,
• 16:48
  no matter,
• 16:48
  even if you go into incognito mode.
• 16:50
  Now you might feel like you've got nothing to hide,
• 16:52
  uh,
• 16:52
  but the truth is it's your information,
• 16:54
  and so it doesn't belong to anyone else.
• 16:56
  They don't get,
• 16:56
  they don't need to see it.
• 16:57
  It's yours.
• 16:59
  And you know,
• 16:59
  basically,
• 17:00
  that's the way the world works.
• 17:02
  Every time you go online,
• 17:04
  just use Express VPN.
• 17:05
  It's easy to use,
• 17:06
  it works on all devices.
• 17:07
  It would take a hacker with a supercomputer over 1
• 17:10
  billion years to get past Express VPN's encryption.
• 17:14
  I don't know about you,
• 17:15
  but I like my data.
• 17:16
  I don't want it stolen,
• 17:17
  and Express VPN is just the thing
• 17:19
  to keep that from happening.

  Well,
• 17:37
  we're sort of reveling in the Democrat blame game today.
• 17:40
  I wanna bring in Leon Wolf,
• 17:41
  managing editor,
• 17:42
  uh,
• 17:43
  managing news editor for Blaze Media.
• 17:45
  He is,
• 17:45
  uh,
• 17:46
  got a new piece out.
• 17:46
  It's on the Blaze.com.
• 17:48
  It is called Should,
• 17:49
  uh,
• 17:49
  the,
• 17:49
  the Democrats Should Blame the Media
• 17:52
  for Harris's loss.
• 17:53
  Be sure to check it out.
• 17:54
  Leon.
• 17:54
  It's been a while,
• 17:55
  man.
• 17:55
  Good to see you.
• 17:57
  Yeah,
• 17:57
  it's good.
• 17:57
  Always good to talk to a fellow Coke Zero enthusiast.
• 18:00
  Thanks for having me on.
• 18:01
  I've got one right down here.
• 18:02
  Um,
• 18:02
  uh,
• 18:03
  Leon,
• 18:03
  uh,
• 18:04
  let me go to your piece here because this is really interesting.
• 18:06
  You make a really good case as to why the media is,
• 18:10
  uh,
• 18:10
  while constantly trying to help the Democrats,
• 18:12
  actually is causing problems,
• 18:13
  but it sort of starts
• 18:15
  with a chance meeting with the one,
• 18:16
  the only Joe Biden.
• 18:18
  Tell me how this happened.
• 18:20
  Well,
• 18:21
  so for the sake of kind of getting to the point,
• 18:23
  I actually omitted many of the crazier details of that story,
• 18:26
  which included the fact that actor Stephen Baldwin of
• 18:28
  all people was there at the table with me.
• 18:30
  Um,
• 18:31
  it was,
• 18:31
  uh,
• 18:32
  you know,
• 18:32
  I,
• 18:32
  so I worked for Sam Brownback in 2007,
• 18:35
  2008,
• 18:36
  you know,
• 18:37
  he ran for president,
• 18:37
  did not succeed,
• 18:38
  didn't even make it to the Iowa caucuses.
• 18:41
  And
• 18:41
  I had been at the um Ames straw poll,
• 18:44
  which used to be a big deal.
• 18:45
  I think that's one of the greatest services Donald Trump has
• 18:48
  done for the GOP is killing the importance of that thing.
• 18:51
  But I digress.
• 18:52
  So we've gone to the Ames straw poll,
• 18:54
  uh
• 18:55
  Brownback did not do well,
• 18:56
  we all kind of knew that the campaign was over.
• 18:58
  So I'm trying to head home in the airport,
• 19:00
  and um,
• 19:01
  my flight gets delayed,
• 19:02
  I end up stuck in this airport bar.
• 19:05
  Stephen Baldwin,
• 19:06
  and
• 19:07
  Joe Biden is there.
• 19:08
  There's like 4 people,
• 19:09
  I think there's probably 1 bar in the whole Des Moines airport.
• 19:12
  I don't know what it is like now,
• 19:13
  but back then I,
• 19:14
  it was the only one I saw.
• 19:16
  And I see a guy walking around,
• 19:17
  there's like 4 other people in this whole bar,
• 19:19
  and I see a guy walking around talking to people and I look and I'm like,
• 19:21
  oh crap,
• 19:22
  that's Joe Biden.
• 19:23
  I really did not wanna talk,
• 19:24
  I'm like I can recognize him from TV.
• 19:26
  I definitely did not wanna
• 19:27
  have a conversation.
• 19:29
  Anyway,
• 19:29
  he makes his way over to me.
• 19:31
  And I,
• 19:32
  I really did feel sorry for him at least a little bit,
• 19:34
  even though I've never particularly liked him,
• 19:36
  because I was like,
• 19:36
  you know,
• 19:36
  here's the United States senator
• 19:38
  going around to this airport bar trying to shake hands with like 4 people.
• 19:41
  It was,
• 19:42
  it was kind of a sad thing,
• 19:43
  you know,
• 19:43
  he was running for president too,
• 19:45
  he,
• 19:45
  he also would not succeed.
• 19:46
  So he comes up to me
• 19:47
  and he says,
• 19:48
  you know,
• 19:48
  hi,
• 19:49
  you know,
• 19:49
  I'm Joe Biden.
• 19:50
  I was like yeah.
• 19:50
  I,
• 19:50
  I know who you are.
• 19:51
  I was like let me just save you some time.
• 19:52
  I don't even live here in Iowa,
• 19:53
  I'm here actually to work on a Republican campaign.
• 19:56
  I thought that would kind of be the end of it,
• 19:57
  but instead he's like,
• 19:58
  oh really,
• 19:59
  which one?
• 20:00
  And I told him,
• 20:01
  and you know,
• 20:02
  at the time,
• 20:02
  of course the Iraq war was a big deal,
• 20:04
  and I don't know if you're,
• 20:06
  you know,
• 20:07
  viewers will recall,
• 20:08
  but there was a plan.
• 20:10
  Iraq into three different pieces that was being bandied about,
• 20:12
  it ultimately wasn't successful,
• 20:15
  and both uh Brownback and Joe Biden were on board with that plan.
• 20:18
  So he wanted to sit down and talk with me at some great length about,
• 20:21
  he really likes Sam Brownback and was,
• 20:23
  you know,
• 20:24
  excited to work with him on all this stuff,
• 20:25
  and I just really wanted to,
• 20:27
  to,
• 20:27
  to,
• 20:27
  to go home and be back with,
• 20:29
  with my family and all these things,
• 20:30
  but it was
• 20:31
  Interesting experience for sure.
• 20:34
  It definitely was.
• 20:36
  It's a crazy story.
• 20:38
  That Iowa airport around that time of year,
• 20:40
  it just brings constant craziness,
• 20:43
  stories you'll never forget.
• 20:45
  But,
• 20:46
  uh,
• 20:46
  so you know you go into the media in the piece and it's interesting because you use
• 20:50
  the Joe Biden change from when you talked to him 20 years ago where he was,
• 20:54
  you know,
• 20:55
  still very liberal and and and had his gaffe problems,
• 20:58
  but was
• 20:59
  a talker,
• 20:59
  was a guy who could maintain a conversation that could be persuasive,
• 21:04
  and you compare him to the person we've seen over the past 4 years
• 21:08
  and you know the media
• 21:11
  has these same experiences,
• 21:12
  right?
• 21:13
  They've seen this decline.
• 21:15
  Yeah,
• 21:15
  whatever you want to say about the Joe Biden in 2007,
• 21:18
  who was someone I would never have voted for under any circumstances,
• 21:21
  but
• 21:22
  He was still clearly a sharp guy,
• 21:23
  I mean,
• 21:24
  one of the things that used to be,
• 21:26
  in,
• 21:26
  in terms of Joe Biden's assets was he was,
• 21:28
  he was affable,
• 21:29
  you know,
• 21:30
  he was mentally agile,
• 21:31
  you know,
• 21:31
  he could talk,
• 21:32
  you know,
• 21:33
  to a certain kind of person he was charming,
• 21:35
  um,
• 21:36
  you know,
• 21:36
  he gave off this aura that he was just kind of an everyman,
• 21:39
  really loved America and all the great people that lived here,
• 21:42
  I think a lot of it was fake,
• 21:43
  but he was really good at selling it to a lot of people,
• 21:46
  um.
• 21:47
  And,
• 21:48
  you know,
• 21:48
  so it's when I saw him in 2020,
• 21:51
  you know,
• 21:52
  campaigning,
• 21:52
  it was,
• 21:53
  it really was quite shocking,
• 21:54
  it was,
• 21:55
  it was like physically he resembled the same guy,
• 21:57
  but you could really just tell that
• 21:59
  um the same lights were not on.
• 22:01
  I mean he just,
• 22:02
  he just absolutely did not have it.
• 22:04
  And
• 22:05
  the thing that really frustrates me about this is that
• 22:08
  we all saw on June 27th when he had that debate against Donald Trump,
• 22:13
  what kind of state he was in.
• 22:14
  And as,
• 22:15
  as anybody who's had a relative or a friend who's
• 22:18
  kind of gone through that age-related cognitive decline process,
• 22:21
  you know they don't get from being
• 22:23
  perfectly fine one day,
• 22:25
  to that condition the next.
• 22:27
  And they were telling us,
• 22:30
  Uh,
• 22:30
  literally 3 days,
• 22:31
  one of the articles that I,
• 22:32
  that I cited there,
• 22:34
  uh,
• 22:34
  from the Poynter Institute,
• 22:35
  literally 3 days before that performance,
• 22:37
  they were telling us
• 22:38
  that all the evidence that he was not mentally fit,
• 22:41
  that he was having a cognitive decline was,
• 22:43
  was right-wing disinformation,
• 22:44
  and it was just a lie.
• 22:46
  I can't
• 22:47
  be the only one.
• 22:49
  Who
• 22:50
  saw Joe Biden from back what he used to be,
• 22:53
  and from what he was
• 22:54
  in 2020 and after,
• 22:56
  and was like,
• 22:56
  oh my gosh,
• 22:57
  this clearly is not the same guy.
• 22:59
  Uh,
• 22:59
  the,
• 22:59
  the media had,
• 23:00
  you know,
• 23:01
  there were people who,
• 23:01
  who knew him and talked to him way more,
• 23:04
  and not one of them.
• 23:04
  Those people was like,
• 23:05
  hey,
• 23:06
  listen,
• 23:07
  uh,
• 23:07
  put aside the fact that this is our partisan preference that he should win,
• 23:11
  there really is a serious problem here.
• 23:13
  And
• 23:14
  the media failed the American people and they failed the Democrats too,
• 23:17
  because
• 23:18
  in the process of trying to protect them,
• 23:21
  Uh,
• 23:21
  by bolstering Biden,
• 23:23
  they prevented the Democrats from either nominating
• 23:25
  someone else other than Kamala Harris,
• 23:27
  who I think would have been a,
• 23:29
  a good avenge,
• 23:29
  or
• 23:30
  option B,
• 23:32
  forcing Biden to resign early so that she could have been an actual incumbent.
• 23:35
  Like she could have had an actual chance to put her
• 23:38
  stamp and her policies on things and take credit for things,
• 23:41
  because she really was
• 23:42
  in a quite difficult position
• 23:44
  to say she was tied to Biden and everything he did,
• 23:46
  but she really didn't have a ton of control
• 23:49
  over what the administration.
• 23:50
  was going to do.
• 23:52
  So either way would have been a preferable outcome for Democrats,
• 23:55
  I think at the end of the day.
• 23:56
  And the reason they didn't have that is because the
• 23:58
  media was hiding what they knew about Biden's condition.
• 24:02
  Yeah,
• 24:02
  I mean,
• 24:02
  it's not always good to have someone who's on your
• 24:05
  side rooting for you and telling you everything is fine,
• 24:08
  you know,
• 24:09
  if you've,
• 24:10
  you know,
• 24:10
  if you are going through life problems,
• 24:12
  maybe you're drinking too much,
• 24:13
  and God only knows what's going on,
• 24:15
  if you have people in your life saying no,
• 24:16
  you're not,
• 24:16
  you're totally fine,
• 24:17
  actually that's their problem,
• 24:18
  they're the bad person.
• 24:20
  You're enabling terrible behavior
• 24:22
  and the media really kind of did that with the Democrats.
• 24:25
  They put them
• 24:26
  in a position,
• 24:27
  and I don't look,
• 24:27
  I don't think Kamala Harris was a good candidate and
• 24:30
  I don't think she would have won either way,
• 24:31
  but you're right,
• 24:32
  that would have given her a better chance.
• 24:34
  Instead she was stuck with this thing where either she had to make a choice to say,
• 24:38
  Actually,
• 24:38
  Joe Biden was really bad.
• 24:40
  He was failing,
• 24:41
  and I tried to convince him not to do the X,
• 24:44
  Y,
• 24:44
  and Z,
• 24:45
  and I'm going to
• 24:46
  go against him,
• 24:46
  which she never was going to do.
• 24:48
  But that at least
• 24:49
  could have been
• 24:50
  maybe a path to success,
• 24:52
  or she had to do what she wound up doing,
• 24:53
  which was to sort of argue.
• 24:55
  We know everything's terrible,
• 24:57
  but it's the president before us.
• 24:59
  It's his fault.
• 25:00
  It's the Trump era,
• 25:02
  not our presidency.
• 25:03
  I mean these were insane arguments they were forced to make
• 25:06
  because they had to show that loyalty to Joe Biden.
• 25:09
  They couldn't say that the presidency went badly,
• 25:12
  and at the end of the day,
• 25:14
  I don't know that it was the reason they lost,
• 25:15
  but it certainly did not help.
• 25:18
  No,
• 25:18
  like,
• 25:20
  Kamala Harris was not a good candidate,
• 25:22
  and as I say in the piece,
• 25:23
  it's not,
• 25:23
  it's not me that said that,
• 25:24
  it was Democrats that said that.
• 25:26
  She ran in 2020,
• 25:27
  didn't even make Iowa,
• 25:28
  I mean,
• 25:29
  did worse than Brownback,
• 25:30
  and she started with way more money.
• 25:31
  She had the endorsement of the Clintons,
• 25:33
  she had this huge war chest that she blew through,
• 25:36
  uh,
• 25:36
  and was ultimately forced,
• 25:37
  even though she raised tens of millions of dollars,
• 25:40
  to withdraw because she ran out of money,
• 25:42
  of all things,
• 25:42
  uh,
• 25:43
  in,
• 25:43
  in late 2019.
• 25:45
  So it's not me who was the first person
• 25:47
  to say that Kamala Harris was a terrible candidate,
• 25:48
  it was the Democrats came to that conclusion first.
• 25:51
  But even if she were a really gifted,
• 25:54
  good candidate and politician,
• 25:56
  I think she was in an impossible position.
• 25:58
  I don't think that the most gifted politician in the country could have
• 26:01
  survived that that circumstance,
• 26:03
  and it is entirely because
• 26:06
  they the media participated in a cover-up until it was
• 26:09
  too late to do anything about it for the Democrats.
• 26:11
  And so
• 26:12
  when they're looking at,
• 26:12
  sure there's a lot of different
• 26:14
  blame to go around if you're a Democrat today and in the coming days,
• 26:18
  but one of the things that you ought to say is really the
• 26:21
  The media,
• 26:22
  you know,
• 26:23
  we deserve better,
• 26:24
  you know,
• 26:24
  just from a simple fact finding,
• 26:26
  you know,
• 26:26
  standpoint,
• 26:27
  is like,
• 26:28
  tell us the truth about what's going on.
• 26:30
  Uh,
• 26:30
  and we're gonna see it coming up in the next 4 years,
• 26:32
  you know,
• 26:33
  um,
• 26:34
  they're suddenly gonna rediscover their diligence in,
• 26:37
  um,
• 26:37
  examining the mental fitness of an aging president.
• 26:40
  And who's gonna listen after what happened,
• 26:42
  uh,
• 26:43
  with Biden,
• 26:43
  you know,
• 26:44
  even if there really is a problem that ends up developing,
• 26:46
  God forbid.
• 26:47
  Um,
• 26:48
  it's,
• 26:48
  it's a,
• 26:49
  it's a real problem that they have put the Democrats in the country at large in,
• 26:53
  quite frankly.
• 26:54
  Yeah,
• 26:54
  it's been really bad.
• 26:55
  Last one for you,
• 26:56
  Leon,
• 26:56
  we've got about a minute left.
• 26:57
  Do you think there's any hope for the media,
• 26:59
  like
• 27:00
  doing a little self-examination,
• 27:01
  maybe realizing the way they handle these situations
• 27:04
  is not the best for the country or even themselves or even the candidates
• 27:08
  they want to win.
• 27:08
  Any possibility of that?
• 27:11
  You know,
• 27:11
  I,
• 27:11
  I saw a little bit of that in the,
• 27:14
  in the couple weeks after the debate.
• 27:16
  There were some people who said,
• 27:17
  look,
• 27:18
  it isn't good
• 27:19
  that people who read The Blaze
• 27:21
  knew what was going on with Biden's health,
• 27:24
  mental health,
• 27:25
  and people who read the Washington Post did not.
• 27:27
  I,
• 27:27
  I saw a few people in the media making that kind of frank admission,
• 27:30
  but,
• 27:30
  but not nearly enough.
• 27:32
  And I think that one of the things that needs to happen,
• 27:35
  and I think that
• 27:36
  one of the,
• 27:37
  you know,
• 27:37
  Jeff Bezos,
• 27:38
  I've got a lot of problems with him.
• 27:40
  That he understands that
• 27:42
  there ought to be somebody in the newsroom of The Washington Post
• 27:45
  who voted for Donald Trump at least once out of the last 3 elections,
• 27:48
  you know,
• 27:48
  that encompasses probably more than half of,
• 27:50
  and I don't,
• 27:51
  I don't think
• 27:52
  one,
• 27:52
  I don't think there's one.
• 27:53
  And
• 27:54
  to me,
• 27:56
  that is a problem that they need to address,
• 27:58
  which is that they have to have,
• 27:59
  you know,
• 28:00
  at least some people who can,
• 28:01
  you know,
• 28:01
  say,
• 28:02
  look,
• 28:02
  guys,
• 28:03
  we're all from the same side,
• 28:05
  but we gotta consider this,
• 28:07
  um,
• 28:07
  as a reality and not just retreat back within our own bubble here and and and.
• 28:12
  Enforce the things that we already believe.

  Good to talk to you as always.
• 28:37
  Any time in life that you have to make a big change,
• 28:40
  it's hard,
• 28:40
  and this is especially true when you're talking about a
• 28:42
  big change with big dollar signs all over it.
• 28:44
  That's you're talking about buying or selling a home,
• 28:46
  really complicated.
• 28:47
  It takes a lot of time and a lot of jumping through hoops,
• 28:50

• 28:52
  they ever get in terms of financial decisions that you make.
• 28:55
  So

• 29:34
  Well,
• 29:34
  The Hill reports that the Democrats' election abortion strategy
• 29:39
  has fallen flat.
• 29:40
  They did get some of their measures passed,
• 29:43
  as we discussed a little bit earlier,
• 29:44
  but
• 29:45
  This is,
• 29:46
  I think,
• 29:46
  the key paragraph.
• 29:47
  I think the biggest obstacle to Democratic messaging was that Donald Trump had
• 29:50
  made very clear he did not support a national ban on abortion,
• 29:53
  and yet every major candidate ran on the platform
• 29:55
  of Donald Trump is going to pass a national ban on abortion,
• 29:59
  explained
• 29:59
  National Right to Life President
• 30:01
  Carol Tobias.
• 30:02
  So it just didn't ring true,
• 30:03
  and I think that's true.
• 30:04
  I don't think people really see Donald Trump as a hardcore abortion
• 30:07
  activist,
• 30:08
  but
• 30:09
  hopefully I do,
• 30:09
  I do hope that he's a little bit more on the in the 2000 in the first term.
• 30:15
  Trump
• 30:15
  than he was on the campaign,
• 30:16
  Donald Trump on that issue.
• 30:18
  Hopefully he puts some really good people
• 30:20
  in the Supreme Court and in other roles that can affect that policy in the right way.
• 30:24
  We will see.
• 30:24
  Harris says she concedes the election,
• 30:26
  but not her fight.
• 30:27
  Of course that's what every campaign
• 30:28
  basically says when you concede.
• 30:30
  Biden then congratulates Trump and invites him to the White House.
• 30:33
  I think what the Democrats are doing now
• 30:35
  is trying to take the loss that they already have and trying to make the best out of it,
• 30:38
  making the lemonade out of the lemons,
• 30:40
  by just saying like,
• 30:41
  Well,
• 30:42
  we're above all this.
• 30:42
  We're not going to go out and protest in the streets.
• 30:45
  Now I don't know if they can control their activists from doing these things,
• 30:47
  and at some point I'm sure they'll encourage those activists,
• 30:50
  but they're trying to say,
• 30:51
  well,
• 30:52
  look at,
• 30:52
  let's,
• 30:52
  let's give the high-minded speeches that will look
• 30:54
  good in the history books for now.
• 30:56
  We'll see how the rest of that develops later.
• 30:58
  And RFK Junior says entire departments at the FDA
• 31:01
  have to go.
• 31:01
  It will be interesting to see if the RFK.
• 31:04
  The Tulsi Gabbards,
• 31:05
  the Elon Musks
• 31:07
  will be given,
• 31:07
  how much power they will be given in this world
• 31:09
  and how Donald Trump is going to have to manage
• 31:12
  it because a lot of these people have very different
• 31:14
  views from Donald Trump on some of these issues.
• 31:17
  Controlling all of this at the same time is going to be quite the trick.
• 31:33
  OK,
• 31:33
  here's a question for you.
• 31:34
  Are you ready to secure the future of American values for generations to come?
• 31:38
  And do you know
• 31:40
  whether or not your investments are aligned with that goal?
• 31:43
  Donald Trump won,
• 31:44
  and that's great,
• 31:45
  but we've,
• 31:45
  uh,
• 31:46
  you know,
• 31:46
  maybe we've turned a corner here.
• 31:48
  But the work does not stop right now.
• 31:50
  There's still a ton of leftist nonsense out there to root out.
• 31:53
  Wouldn't you like to minimize the amount of money in your?
• 31:55
  Portfolio going towards things that you don't agree with,
• 31:58
  whether it's abortion or anti-family policies or drugs or alcohol,
• 32:01
  whatever it is to you,
• 32:02
  you shouldn't be investing in that stuff if you don't agree with it.
• 32:05
  Well,
• 32:05
  Constitutional Wealth can help you with that.
• 32:07
  They can divest you from,
• 32:09
  from your money from corporations that mock your values.
• 32:12
  Your investments are some of your most powerful
• 32:14
  weapons you have to fight the culture war,
• 32:16
  and that's what the idea of a parallel economy.
• 32:17
  is all about
• 32:18
  with Constitution Wealth you can partner with advisors who
• 32:21
  actually understand and share your conservative patriotic values because

  I'm joined by Rob Eno,
• 32:43
  resident media critic for Blaze TV.
• 32:45
  Rob,
• 32:45
  how's it going?
• 32:46
  Pretty good.
• 32:47
  Yeah,
• 32:47
  it's been a good week.
• 32:48
  It has been a surprisingly,
• 32:49
  unbelievably good week.
• 32:51
  If you had told me that we would win the popular vote ever again in my lifetime,
• 32:55
  I would have
• 32:55
  called you crazy.
• 32:56
  But yeah,
• 32:57
  but,
• 32:57
  uh,
• 32:58
  that looks like that's gonna happen even after
• 32:59
  they count all the votes in California.
• 33:01
  Um,
• 33:02
  so,
• 33:02
  uh,
• 33:03
  let's,
• 33:03
  uh,
• 33:03
  let's talk about the media because,
• 33:06
  you know,
• 33:06
  uh,
• 33:07
  my kind of like.
• 33:09
  way of looking at this election was it was the greatest test
• 33:13
  of the theory that the mainstream media is still a thing,
• 33:16
  right?
• 33:16
  Like if they are able to push Kamala Harris over the finish line
• 33:20
  with this 4-year record of her being part of this administration,
• 33:23
  it shows that the media is still really powerful.
• 33:25
  Obviously that didn't happen.
• 33:27
  What does that mean for the media?
• 33:29
  What that means for the media is that they still
• 33:31
  think that they have a monopoly on the truth,
• 33:35
  and that.
• 33:37
  They don't understand how people can think anything different than them.
• 33:40
  They think that they're experts
• 33:42
  in Washington DC,
• 33:43
  and New York City,
• 33:43
  and Boston,
• 33:44
  and San Francisco and LA.
• 33:46
  The experts that have opinions are,
• 33:48
  their opinions are truth,
• 33:50
  and they don't understand that actual
• 33:52
  people
• 33:53
  have problems.
• 33:54
  Remember,
• 33:54
  they,
• 33:54
  they've said,
• 33:55
  you,
• 33:56
  you turn on CNN anytime in the past 6 months and the economy was the most raring.
• 34:01
  Unbelievable economy
• 34:02
  that the country has ever had.
• 34:04
  Bonomics is working right,
• 34:06
  and
• 34:07
  I go to the grocery store and
• 34:09
  this is a joke,
• 34:10
  FBI,
• 34:11
  Secret Service.
• 34:12
  I feel like killing a politician every time I go to the grocery store,
• 34:14
  right?
• 34:15
  I mean,
• 34:16
  the anger wells inside of you when you get one little bag and it's $40.
• 34:21
  Right,
• 34:22
  and all you've gotten is,
• 34:23
  you know,
• 34:23
  how,
• 34:24
  how dare I want to have a rib eye
• 34:26
  and maybe a,
• 34:27
  a bottle of wine and like some potatoes to go with it to make mashed potatoes.
• 34:32
  And the three items cost 40 bucks,
• 34:34
  right?
• 34:34
  Like that.
• 34:36
  I don't,
• 34:37
  I think that it's always cost that much or they just always go out to eat and
• 34:40
  maybe the cost of going out to eat in those places hasn't gone up as much,
• 34:43
  so they don't see it.
• 34:44
  Well,
• 34:44
  a lot of these people with multiple commas
• 34:46
  in their salaries aren't exactly price sensitive,
• 34:48
  right?
• 34:48
  Exactly,
• 34:49
  and I think that's,
• 34:50
  that's a big part of it.
• 34:51
  There's.
• 34:51
  Also,
• 34:52
  you know,
• 34:52
  it's just a matter of how you see things,
• 34:54
  right?
• 34:54
  Like the,
• 34:55
  the abortion thing,
• 34:56
  uh,
• 34:57
  things that went all across the country,
• 34:58
  there's 10 of them,
• 34:58
  I think 7 of them passed,
• 35:00
  and the,
• 35:01
  uh,
• 35:01
  Washington Post wrote up a little map to show you where they passed,
• 35:04
  and that's like a normal journalism thing
• 35:05
  to do,
• 35:06
  right?
• 35:06
  Give you a little visualization.
• 35:08
  Uh,
• 35:08
  but the way they phrased it were,
• 35:09
  this is where protective measures failed and protective measures succeeded.
• 35:15
  Protective meaning protecting
• 35:17
  the right to an abortion,
• 35:18
  right?
• 35:19
  That,
• 35:19
  that it was just protective.
• 35:22
  When
• 35:22
  that is like how they see the world.
• 35:24
  When,
• 35:24
  when,
• 35:24
  when we say,
• 35:25
  hey,
• 35:25
  we've got a problem with crime,
• 35:26
  we've got a problem with the border,
• 35:27
  they see that's racism.
• 35:29
  This is where racism was on the ballot.
• 35:31
  And,
• 35:31
  and when you have a vision like that of the country,
• 35:33
  there's,
• 35:34
  there's no way.
• 35:34
  Way to connect with the average person.
• 35:36
  There absolutely isn't.
• 35:37
  Go,
• 35:37
  go to the abortion one,
• 35:38
  right?
• 35:38
  Some of the abortion ones that passed,
• 35:40
  if you would have told me
• 35:42
  that
• 35:42
  a,
• 35:43
  a somewhat liberal state maybe may have passed
• 35:45
  an abortion thing that said up to viability
• 35:47
  5 years ago,
• 35:48
  I would have said,
• 35:49
  great.
• 35:50
  You know what I mean?
• 35:51
  Because viability is 26 weeks now,
• 35:53
  right?
• 35:53
  Or 20 weeks.
• 35:54
  Yeah,
• 35:54
  24 might be pushing 20.
• 35:57
  So
• 35:57
  some of the ones that had the protections were actually more restrictive.
• 36:01
  Than I think
• 36:02
  the abortion lobby would like,
• 36:04
  right?
• 36:04
  And I think that that's where America is.
• 36:06
  But on the border,
• 36:08
  Latinos.
• 36:10
  Latino men
• 36:11
  overwhelmingly voted for Trump.
• 36:12
  Latino women
• 36:14
  also almost voted for Trump.
• 36:16
  These are the places where Trenda Arragua,
• 36:19
  the,
• 36:19
  the,
• 36:19
  the Venezuelan gang and MS-13,
• 36:21
  when they leave those
• 36:23
  cities,
• 36:23
  they go to their neighborhoods and terrorize them.
• 36:26
  The,
• 36:26
  uh,
• 36:26
  the,
• 36:27
  the most amazing thing,
• 36:28
  and I was showing,
• 36:29
  um,
• 36:30
  Josh Jennings,
• 36:31
  who's won a write ad copy for a bunch of people in the network,
• 36:34
  right?
• 36:34
  We were talking about it this morning.
• 36:36
  And I looked at the Hillary Clinton map versus the Donald Trump
• 36:40
  Kamala map.
• 36:41
  The entire Rio Grande Valley was blue,
• 36:46
  bright blue
• 36:48
  during the Hillary election.
• 36:49
  Donald Trump won most of those counties.
• 36:51
  Yeah,
• 36:51
  I mean,
• 36:52
  and really like there's a lot of buildup to these shifting demographics.
• 36:56
  Like we heard so much about them.
• 36:57
  And,
• 36:58
  and like at some level,
• 36:59
  the,
• 36:59
  the black vote
• 37:00
  didn't change as much as maybe we thought.
• 37:02
  But the younger vote and the Hispanic vote especially was,
• 37:05
  was,
• 37:05
  I mean,
• 37:06
  levels that were shocking,
• 37:07
  I think,
• 37:07
  to anybody.
• 37:08
  Go back to,
• 37:08
  you know,
• 37:09
  2000,
• 37:10
  1996,
• 37:11
  1992,
• 37:12
  they would have been like,
• 37:12
  wait,
• 37:13
  what percentage did you get?
• 37:14
  Only George Bush was ever even competitive to what Trump did.
• 37:16
  The exit polling
• 37:18
  keeps getting updated,
• 37:18
  right?
• 37:19
  So
• 37:19
  the first round of exit polling before they calculated everything
• 37:22
  showed that um
• 37:24
  that Kamala Harris won
• 37:25
  repeat voters by 2%
• 37:27
  and that Donald Trump won new voters
• 37:29
  by.
• 37:30
  9% or 7%.
• 37:32
  That's actually changed now.
• 37:34
  Donald Trump won repeat voters by 2%.
• 37:37
  Donald Trump won first-time voters that were 8% of the population
• 37:41
  by 13%,
• 37:43
  according to the recent update
• 37:45
  of the CNN exit polls.
• 37:46
  And it's the same exit poll.
• 37:47
  I think they all have the same exit poll.
• 37:49
  Just branded themselves as just one big exit poll now.
• 37:51
  They all kind of pay for kind of pay for part of it.
• 37:53
  And.
• 37:54
  What's interesting with that is it goes to show you,
• 37:57
  and this gets into the media,
• 37:58
  right?
• 37:59
  Barron Trump's a genius.
• 38:01
  Barron Trump told his dad and told his dad's campaign,
• 38:04
  you need to go on Theo Vaughn,
• 38:05
  you need to go on Logan Paul,
• 38:07
  you need to go on Joe Rogan,
• 38:09
  you need to go on all the.
• 38:10
  These podcasts
• 38:11
  that my generation listens to
• 38:14
  because
• 38:15
  they're somewhat conservative.
• 38:16
  You saw that with the Tony Hinchcliffe thing
• 38:18
  that they thought was gonna be a,
• 38:19
  a big thing.
• 38:20
  And I was like,
• 38:21
  Tony Hinchcliffe telling people
• 38:23
  2.5 million
• 38:24
  views an episode.
• 38:26
  Right?
• 38:26
  2.5 million views of an episode of The Kill Tony.
• 38:29
  You know,
• 38:30
  open mic podcast
• 38:32
  every week,
• 38:33
  right,
• 38:34
  and,
• 38:34
  and there's something key about that too,
• 38:35
  because like
• 38:36
  they made such a big deal about that and they tried to say,
• 38:38
  oh well,
• 38:39
  Puerto Ricans are gonna vote against him because first of all he's a roast comedian.
• 38:42
  It's,
• 38:42
  it's,
• 38:42
  it's that's how you're supposed to do things.
• 38:44
  But the other part about this,
• 38:45
  and I've seen this happen throughout my life working with Glenn.
• 38:49
  When people do that to you,
• 38:51
  your audience gets pissed.
• 38:53
  Like that,
• 38:53
  those 2.5 million people who saw them
• 38:56
  try to destroy Tony Hinchcliffe over a joke,
• 38:59
  they were more motivated to go vote for Trump.
• 39:03
  That pushback is real
• 39:05
  because when you feel like your guy is being victimized,
• 39:08
  you're more likely to go out
• 39:09
  and vote for him.
• 39:10
  I think that may have had a factor.
• 39:11
  I think the way they tried to victimize.
• 39:13
  Him,
• 39:13
  I don't know how many votes it moved,
• 39:14
  but I bet there were some.
• 39:15
  Yeah,
• 39:16
  it's the Malcolm Gladwell book Tribes,
• 39:17
  right?
• 39:18
  You,
• 39:18
  you have your own tribe,
• 39:19
  your tribe will defend you to the death,
• 39:22
  and that's what happened.
• 39:23
  But you also look
• 39:24
  at Osceola County in Florida,
• 39:26
  which is over 50% Latino,
• 39:28
  the majority Puerto Rican voted for Donald Trump for that county
• 39:33
  voted for the Republican for the first time in forever.
• 39:36
  They voted for Donald Trump.
• 39:37
  Because
• 39:38
  the Puerto Ricans that left,
• 39:39
  many of whom I met when I went
• 39:41
  after the hurri one of the hurricanes,
• 39:43
  um,
• 39:44
  in Florida to the Disney World area
• 39:46
  and stayed at a hotel,
• 39:47
  those people left Puerto Rico because
• 39:49
  it doesn't function.
• 39:52
  There's a,
• 39:52
  there's actually a trash problem and has been for 4 years.
• 39:55
  They can't put.
• 39:55
  The trash anywhere because the EPA won't let them.
• 39:59
  So those Puerto Ricans know
• 40:01
  that what Tony Hinchcliffe said was the truth,
• 40:04
  right?
• 40:04
  So it wasn't calling them the individual people garbage.
• 40:07
  It was making fun of the system.
• 40:09
  And the other thing is Donald Trump did the
• 40:11
  biggest podcast at the end of the election,
• 40:13
  right?
• 40:14
  The other thing that's interesting is,
• 40:16
  of the people that made up their mind before September,
• 40:18
  50% voted for Donald Trump.
• 40:20
  Of the people that made up their mind in September and October,
• 40:24
  most of October,
• 40:25
  overwhelmingly for Harris.
• 40:26
  Of the people that made up their mind in the last two weeks,
• 40:29
  it was a landslide for Donald Trump.
• 40:32
  At the time that the media was saying everything Donald Trump was doing that seemed.
• 40:36
  Crazy
• 40:37
  was going to cost him the election.
• 40:39
  They don't understand normal
• 40:42
  people in normal America.
• 40:44
  Let me give you one more because we'll get one minute for this,
• 40:47
  but,
• 40:47
  uh,
• 40:48
  if I were to define the Rob Eno tribe,
• 40:50
  I would say hates Brian Stelter would be basically how I would find it.
• 40:54
  However,
• 40:54
  you tweeted this.
• 40:55
  I thought it was interesting.
• 40:56
  You said,
• 40:56
  I give Brian Stelter a lot of crap.
• 40:58
  And have for years.
• 40:59
  But if this is a truly sincere effort to turn the page and self-reflect,
• 41:02
  let's do it.
• 41:03
  This is worlds different from his tone in 2016,
• 41:06
  the day after the election.
• 41:07
  You cite his newsletter,
• 41:08
  where it does seem like he's trying to at least put an
• 41:11
  effort in to understand how this could happen in a world.
• 41:14
  I can't imagine what this must have looked like in his world.
• 41:16
  Is this a real effort?
• 41:17
  Will the media actually do any self-reflection here?
• 41:19
  Um,
• 41:20
  I think it lasted a day with Brian,
• 41:22
  but,
• 41:22
  um,
• 41:23
  but no,
• 41:23
  he,
• 41:23
  he was,
• 41:24
  he was trying to say that we have
• 41:25
  to understand where people are getting their information,
• 41:28
  right?
• 41:29
  He,
• 41:29
  he,
• 41:29
  before the election kept doing a bunch of these things like he would go,
• 41:33
  oh,
• 41:33
  you know,
• 41:33
  Donald Trump got this,
• 41:35
  but then Kamala went on.
• 41:38
  Saturday Night Live,
• 41:38
  which has a huge audience,
• 41:40
  and the huge audience was like 5.7 million people
• 41:43
  for the first episode of the season,
• 41:44
  which goes off as the season goes on.
• 41:46
  And,
• 41:47
  and I had responded to Brian.
• 41:49
  Joe Rogan has 41 million views.
• 41:52
  Of the Donald Trump podcast that was 3 hours,
• 41:56
  and if you listen to it,
• 41:58
  anyone that said that Donald Trump doesn't have his mental faculties straight
• 42:02
  and watched that 3 hour interview.
• 42:06
  would be enraged at the media for telling them
• 42:08
  that Donald Trump doesn't have his faculties straight,
• 42:10
  right?
• 42:11
  Absolutely,
• 42:12
  utterly enraged at the media,
• 42:13
  and that's
• 42:14
  and Brian today
• 42:16
  said.
• 42:17
  You know,
• 42:18
  and he couched it with,
• 42:19
  it's interesting,
• 42:20
  you know,
• 42:20
  we need to understand what Trump voters think,
• 42:23
  but isn't this interesting?
• 42:24
  And then he shows a poll,
• 42:26
  an Ipsos poll
• 42:27
  that shows that people that believe what he calls misinformation
• 42:31
  were more likely to vote for Trump.
• 42:33
  Misinformation like
• 42:35
  the 2020 election was stolen.
• 42:37
  But now you've got a bunch of liberals going.
• 42:40
  Where did all those votes that Joe Biden got go to?
• 42:43
  Oh jeez,
• 42:44
  where did they go to?
• 42:45
  We had a piece up
• 42:46
  in February of 2022,
• 42:48
  1 of our best pieces ever at The Blaze.
• 42:50
  Um,
• 42:51
  we just took the paywall off that shows a forensic audit of that election
• 42:55
  in 2020
• 42:57
  that those votes were manufactured for Biden.
• 42:58
  I mean,
• 42:59
  it's.
• 43:00
  It's just crazy.
• 43:01
  It's,
• 43:01
  it's an amazing time to be alive.
• 43:03
  Rob,
• 43:03
  you know,
• 43:03
  a resident media critic here at Blaze TV.
• 43:06
  Make sure to check him out on social media so you can
• 43:08
  see him try to torture Brian Stelter on a daily basis.
• 43:11
  Rob,
• 43:11
  thanks for coming on the program.
• 43:12
