Speaker 9 (02:59):
The single greatest SoundBite from last night, distilled down into
(03:26):
eighteen seconds, was when John King of CNN explained to
Jake Tapper how thorough this whipping was.
Speaker 10 (03:40):
Listen to this, so you asked, are there any places
that the vice president is overperforming Joe Biden twenty twenty,
So we could show you that as well. We just
bring that out here, Harris overperforming twenty twenty.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
Holy smokes, there you go.
Speaker 10 (03:52):
So let this go away and see if there's anything
in the East Side.
Speaker 11 (03:55):
There literally nothing, literally nothing, literally not one county.
Speaker 9 (04:02):
She did not outperform Joe Biden in a single county.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
Let this slip. Let this sink in again. Play that again.
Speaker 10 (04:14):
So you asked, are there any places that the vice
president is overperforming Joe Biden in twenty twenty, So we
can show you that as well. We just bring that
out here. Harris overperforming in twenty twenty. Holy smokes, there
you go.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
So let this go.
Speaker 10 (04:25):
Away and see if there's anything in the East Side.
Speaker 11 (04:27):
There literally nothing, literally nothing, literally not one county.
Speaker 5 (04:32):
Now let me read you another fact.
Speaker 9 (04:35):
This is total number of votes for a Democrat running
for president by year.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
Okay.
Speaker 9 (04:41):
In two thousand and four, John Carey got fifty nine million,
So focus on about that sixty million number.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
Okay.
Speaker 9 (04:49):
Two thousand and four, he loses with fifty nine million.
Two thousand and eight, Obama has the best year for
a Democrat since the year two thousand, with sixty nine
point five million. In twenty twelve, that dropped down to
sixty five point nine million, but he still managed to win.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
So you notice we're at that sixty to sixty five
million number.
Speaker 9 (05:15):
In twenty sixteen, Clinton gets the same number, sixty five
point nine. Let's skip twenty twenty and go to twenty
twenty four. Kamala Harris gets sixty six point four in
her losing effort. So you got between sixty you got
(05:37):
sixty or sixty five million, except for the one outlier
of Obama's first year. So about sixty to sixty five
million is what Democrats have consistently done for twenty years,
except in twenty twenty when they want you to believe
Joe Biden got eighty one point three million votes. Eighty
(06:06):
one point three million, that's never been done before or since.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
That's all.
Speaker 9 (06:14):
It's about a thirty percent increase of what they do
on average. Think about that for a moment. That is
a dramatic increase from Barack Obama in two thousand and
eight for Joe Biden. Really, you expect us to believe that.
Since we're having fun with numbers, here's another one you
(06:34):
might find interesting. In the eighteen to twenty nine age
group eighteen to twenty nine. It is believed this is
exit polling data, but from a pretty good source. Eighteen
to twenty nine went fifty five Kamala forty two, Trump
(06:55):
thirty to forty four, fifty one percent Kamala forty six
for Trump forty five to sixty four. The gen xers,
they're called I'm one of them. Trump won fifty three
to forty five, fifty five and older. It split down
(07:16):
the middle fifty to fifty, Democrats taking a slight lead.
So Democrats won the young vote handily fifty five to
forty two. They won the thirty to forty four young professionals,
they won that fifty one forty six, and they slightly
(07:36):
led in the sixty five and over category. The only
category that Trump won, The only age demographic that Trump
won was forty five to sixty four, and it was
fifty three to forty five is what he wonted.
Speaker 5 (07:56):
That was enough to carry the day.
Speaker 9 (07:59):
You've got to in handily in the forty five to
sixty four category. No, you still want to perform well
in the other demographics, so you're not falling too far behind.
But when you actually you actually tally these numbers up,
you start really getting granular. It's fascinating stuff, folks. This
is a wonderful world. It's a wonderful guy. I will
(08:20):
die for this country. I will die for discras.
Speaker 5 (08:23):
To Michael Barry, Joe, He's the big honor to be
living in the United States.
Speaker 9 (08:30):
Let's put the Trump victory last night into historical perspective,
and I'm going to do something odd because I don't
care for Anderson Cooper and I really don't like Jake
Tapper at CNN.
Speaker 5 (08:47):
But let's let them tell you.
Speaker 12 (08:50):
Anderson, it is hard to think of a political comeback
that is actually more significant than this one.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
I'm tempted to.
Speaker 12 (08:57):
Say Richard Nixon, but that really fall short of what.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
Donald Trump has achieved.
Speaker 13 (09:03):
Yeah, I mean winning not just the electoral the electoral votes,
but the popular vote as well.
Speaker 12 (09:13):
One more time, ramone, Anderson, it is hard to think
of a political comeback that is actually more significant than
this one.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
I'm tempted to say.
Speaker 12 (09:24):
Richard Nixon, but that really falls short of.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
What Donald Trump has achieved. Yeah, I mean winning.
Speaker 13 (09:30):
Not just the electoral the electoral votes, but the popular
vote as well.
Speaker 9 (09:38):
Or a Republican to win the popular vote in twenty
twenty fours unthinkable, unthinkable. You don't have to win the
popular vote, you just need to win the electoral college.
Why is that important? I know you know this, but
let me explain. In a place like California where embracing
(09:59):
illegal im ration and allowing anyone to vote, and you
know illegals are voting means that the rest of the
world is getting to cast votes in your election, and
they can run up the score. There's no limit on
how many people can vote in California. So when you're
(10:19):
trying to win the hearts and souls of the American people,
the hearts and minds of the American people, you've also
got to compete against foreign countries that are voting in
California and New York.
Speaker 5 (10:31):
So for him to win the popular vote is wow.
Speaker 9 (10:37):
I mean, I cannot highlight enough how important that is.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
You know, they compared it to Nixon. Let's go back
and talk about Nixon.
Speaker 9 (10:47):
Nixon was a young senator from California who Eisenhower tapped
to be his vice president in fifty six, much like
Kamala Harris been in twenty twenty four if Biden had
run for reelection. Richard Nixon was believed to be a
drain on the Eisenhower candidacy.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
They wanted him out.
Speaker 9 (11:12):
It had been alleged he had taken bribes, among other things.
So Richard Nixon gives what can be known as a
checkers speech, and he talks about how he and his
wife pat there's simple people, just a simple coat. His
dog and checkers, and he's trying to humanize himself. The
media hated Richard Nixon much as they hate Donald Trump,
(11:37):
and in nineteen sixty, at the end of eight years
of having been the vice president, he runs for president,
much as George H. W. Bush did at the end
of the eight years of the Reagan presidency, or I
guess you could argue as Kamala Harris did last night,
although she never won the primary to get there. So
Nixon comes out of the sixty primary, and of course
he faces JFK and loses, and the nation's media wanted JFK.
(12:03):
They loved the Camelot story and everything that went with it.
So Nixon goes home to California and runs for governor
against Moonbeam Brown's you know, Jerry Brown, crazy governor, Jerry Brown,
his father.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
And Nixon.
Speaker 9 (12:19):
So if you ran for president and lost, your comeback
and Nixon much like Trump and a dogged, dogged ability
to focus, to drive, and it was almost as if
hating him made him push himself harder. So Nixon sets
(12:40):
about his comeback is going to be He's going to
be elected governor of California.
Speaker 5 (12:45):
And that's going to bring him back and he loses.
Speaker 9 (12:50):
The media was so hard on him that at the
end of the press conference to say I've lost, I'm
leaving politics. He famously says to the media at that
presser after the event, he said, you won't have O
Dick Nixon to kick around anymore. And then he goes
(13:10):
into Siberia. He kind of goes into exile, moves back
to New York. He's practicing law there. The sixty four
race was an absolute debacle. Goldwater was just destroyed by
LBJ who of course had been JFK's vice president when
(13:30):
he had him killed, and so then he becomes the
presidential candidate, and the Republican Party was in shambles. There
wasn't good messaging. The highlight of the sixty four election
was a guy who was paid by General Electric, former
president of the Screenwriters of the Actors Guild, who was
(13:51):
paid by General Electric to travel the country on behalf
of Barry Goldwater giving what came to be known as
the Speech.
Speaker 5 (13:57):
And he was really good at giving the speech. He
would give the.
Speaker 9 (13:59):
Speech every day, and he didn't try to vary the speech,
he didn't try to add flourishes. He delivered the speech
like an actor would deliver a speech and it was
very well received. And because he didn't have TV coverage
of the campaign, as he was going out and talking
to the chambers of commerce, nobody noticed that he was
given the same speech day after day after day. But
it would later be remarked upon that was Ronald Reagan.
(14:23):
But Reagan's not ready for prime time just yet. Nixon
is making his way back into the political world, and
Nixon in sixty eight would win the nomination. Reagan wanted
to run, Reaguar wanted to Nixon would win the nomination
and come back in a course being driven out for
them to say that Trump is bigger than a Nixon
(14:46):
comeback for those people who hate him.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
This is a truly glorious moment.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Man Michael Barry the Fox News Decision desk and now
officially projects that Donald Trumps will become the forty seventh
president of the United States.
Speaker 8 (15:13):
Celebri that's celebrity going on already here, a celebraton, the
laugh throughout the ub.
Speaker 14 (15:28):
We're going to fix our borders, We're going to fix
everything about our country.
Speaker 15 (15:31):
And we made history for a reason tonight, and the
reason is going to be just that we overcame obstacles
that nobody.
Speaker 14 (15:40):
Thought possible, and it is now clear that we've achieved
the most incredible political they Look, what happened is this phraser.
We are going to start by all putting America first.
We have to put our country first for at least
a period of time. We have to fix it because
that we can truly make America great again for all Americans.
(16:03):
So I want to just tell you what a great
honor this is.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
I want to thank you. I will not let you down.
Speaker 14 (16:09):
America's future will be bigger, better, bolder, richer, safer, and
stronger than it has ever been before.
Speaker 9 (16:23):
There was a moment last night on MSNBC when Michelle
Norris was reporting from the Kamala Harris election party at
Howard University. She never showed up by the way those people.
Some of them worked all day for her, some of
them worked for months. They've separated from their families, They've
turned on everyone for her, and there they were to
(16:44):
support her on this special occasion. And because she was losing,
she did not honor them by coming out and thanking
them for what they had done. She sent her chief
of staff out to say, y'all go on home. She
can't faciaw can you imagine her being president? She can't
face people when she's lost. That's a sign of leadership
(17:08):
and a lack of it to not be able to
So there they were at Howard University and MSNBC's Michelle
Norris says, people are rushing to the exits.
Speaker 16 (17:21):
You can probably see behind me the rush to the exits.
I mean, as soon as he said that, people turned
on their heels and they were out of here. The
evening was getting increasingly somber as people realize what this map.
Speaker 5 (17:31):
Is looking like.
Speaker 16 (17:32):
He did indicate that she would be back tomorrow to
speak to people here and to speak to the nation. That,
of course, is a logistical nightmare on several levels because
the university was not expecting her to come back tomorrow.
I don't know how large the crowd will be. There
are a lot of unknowns in that statement. I do
know if there was a lot of handry and in
consternation in her camp about when she should leave, about
(17:54):
when she should start to head here. In her victory party,
which was in another part of town, at what point
they turned off the TV set that just piped up
the music because the room was starting to get increasingly somber.
So a lot of people here, I'm not you know,
I haven't had a chance to talk to people who
expressed disappointment.
Speaker 5 (18:12):
Then there really is still a lot of people.
Speaker 16 (18:14):
Who are holding on to hope, trying hard to hold
on to hope. But the numbers, you know, it's hard
to do that in the face of a map that
really looks like it's presenting a very steep challenge to
the country that at this point is still very divided.
Speaker 9 (18:29):
You don't say who did that, Well, my state of
Texas stayed solid red, solid red across the board. They
spent eighty million dollars trying to get Colin all Wrong,
elected the California candidate to beat Ted Cruz to control
the Senate, and they couldn't pull it out.
Speaker 5 (18:51):
They couldn't pull it off.
Speaker 9 (18:54):
Here is Rachel Maddow saying that Texas has read because
of voter suppression. There's no voter suppression. Voter integrity. My
wife was once the Secretary of State. I understand voter integrity.
She was brought in to lead our first election after
our laws were changed to require voter ID in twenty fourteen.
She traveled to all two hundred and fifty four states.
(19:15):
I was very proud of her, and she explained that
there were seven different forms of identification you could use
to vote, and then if you didn't have a form
of identification, you could go to your DPS and get
one for free. We had voter turnout out the wazoo
because now that there's voter integrity, people want to vote.
(19:36):
They don't participate in what they consider to be fraudulent elections,
but when you show them that the game will be
played fairly, they will show up and vote in bigger numbers.
So for Rachel Maddow to say this is pure evil.
Speaker 17 (19:52):
In Texas, the unmotivated voter who thinks my vote is
not going to matter, maybe thinking about the presidential race.
But the reason that Texas may not matter in the
electoral college and it may not be competitive in the
electoral college maybe because of state policies that are outrageously
very suppressed yest, which you can change by voting in
(20:12):
state legislative and other state that's specific races. Regardless of
what's happening with Texas and electoral votes. And so there
is a sort of civics education and a civics awareness
and a civics organizing effort that is about changing the
way your state is governed so that your vote will
matter to the country.
Speaker 5 (20:35):
How about that? Isn't that interesting?
Speaker 9 (20:38):
Let's go back, as I mentioned earlier, Let's go back
to exactly how liberals view the menions, the.
Speaker 5 (20:47):
Peasants, the serfs.
Speaker 9 (20:51):
Kamala Harris when, just as Hillary Clinton did in sixteen,
when she realized she wasn't going to win, she didn't
go out to thank the people who had waited there
for her. So she sent her campaign chairman Cedric Richmond
to tell the crowd y'all can go on home.
Speaker 5 (21:08):
She ain't coming back to speak to you. Good evening, Hu.
Speaker 7 (21:15):
I want to say good evening to all of the.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
Harris campaign, the campaign family.
Speaker 5 (21:20):
Thank you for all that you have done. Thank you
for being here, thank you for.
Speaker 8 (21:27):
Being believing in the promise of America.
Speaker 5 (21:34):
We still have votes to count, We still.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
Have states that have not been called yet. We will
continue overnight to fight to make sure that every vote
is counted, that every voice hath foken.
Speaker 5 (21:53):
So you won't hear from the.
Speaker 11 (21:55):
Vice President tonight, but you will hear from her tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
She will be back here tomorrow to address.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
Not only to hate you family, not only.
Speaker 9 (22:07):
To address her support us, but to address the nation.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
So thank you, we believe in you.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
May God bless you, May God keep you, and go.
Speaker 14 (22:18):
Hate you and go Harris, thank you all.
Speaker 5 (22:24):
She just showed them what she thinks of them. Just nothing.
Speaker 9 (22:28):
Now compare that to Donald Trump telling people, telling all
Americans that I will fight for you as Americans, America first,
and your family, every citizen.
Speaker 14 (22:42):
I will fight for you, for your family, at your future.
Every single day I will be fighting for you, and
with every breath in my body, I will not rest
until we have delivered the strong, safe, and prosperous America
that our children and that you deserve.
Speaker 15 (23:02):
This will truly be the golden age of America. That's
why we have to This is a magnificent victory for
the American people that.
Speaker 14 (23:15):
Will allow us to make America great again.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
Cattle cattle. I had a fine.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
And Michael Berry in the I don't want to be
part of winning elections.
Speaker 9 (23:35):
I want to be a part of making this nation
great for me or my children, for my grandchildren. I
feel that I feel honor bound, duty bound to do that.
As it was handed to me, what's important to understand
is that this wasn't an electoral victory alone. This is
(23:59):
a move It will be here when Trump's gone, It
will be here when we're gone. That's our responsibility. And
I love the fact that he used the word movement.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
Well, I want to.
Speaker 5 (24:14):
Thank you all very much.
Speaker 14 (24:15):
This is great.
Speaker 15 (24:16):
These are our friends. We have thousands of friends in
this incredible movement.
Speaker 14 (24:22):
This was a movement like nobody's ever seen before.
Speaker 7 (24:27):
And frankly, this.
Speaker 14 (24:31):
Was I believe the greatest political movement of all time.
There's ever been anything like this in this country and
maybe be all and now it's going to reach a
new level of importance because we're going to help our country.
Speaker 5 (24:49):
Heal, We to help our country here.
Speaker 14 (24:51):
We have a country that needs help, and it needs
help very badly. We're going to fix our borders, We're
going to fix everything about our country. And we made
history for a reason tonight, and the reason is going
to be just that.
Speaker 5 (25:08):
We overcame obstacles.
Speaker 14 (25:10):
That nobody thought possible and it is now clear that
we've achieved the most incredible political they look, what happened
is this crazy? But it's a political victory that our
country has never seen before, nothing like this. I want
(25:33):
to thank the American people for the extraordinary honor of
being elected.
Speaker 5 (25:38):
Your forty seventh president. And you're forty fifth president. Jack Wagon,
you're on the Michael Berry Show. Go ahead, sir, Why Mike.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
Yeah. When Neil Romney was governor of Massachusetts, so I
used to take a lot of shipments of produce and
meat into into Boston. I did that almost four years.
Speaker 7 (26:02):
In one shipment, I found myself on.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
The Irish side of town, in this bar that was
noted for having some gangster assassination there and whatnot. I'm like, okay.
Speaker 7 (26:14):
And then I always used to like to get into Boston.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
Early so I could run around and play around. And
so as the night went on, some guy started getting
mout and he's going talking about Romney running for president
and going, there ain't no Mormon that's ever going to
be president, and blah blah.
Speaker 7 (26:31):
Blah blah blah.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
So me being they hold I am, I go, what
a little honesty and integrity integrity is too much for
Massachusetts to handle? And oh my god, it was all
pretty much stay there on and I'll tell you what
you don't want to rile up in Irishman in Boston,
and uh, and I was.
Speaker 5 (26:54):
So proud of that.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
And then having washed Hew Mittens ran himself through the
presidential and the way he acted, and then how he
was so proud of himself for what he had done
to Trump and everything. I'm just like, oh man, I'll
tell you what. I'm like one of the original tea
party people. And I used to I was tea Party,
or for they were tea Party. I used to sit
(27:16):
there in Boston and tell everybody, boy, you guys are
famous for the Dame Tea Party and here you are
one of the most overtaxed states in the Union. And
it's like, you know, and I was so proud to
have done that, and I, oh, I fell it. You
know how it is when when you're a dog and
(27:38):
you get beaten.
Speaker 7 (27:40):
Just after you saved your master's baby. That's how I felt.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
I've never had that.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
What you ever seen a dog that gets a beat
for good?
Speaker 9 (27:53):
Wagon, We're up against a break, we're up against the
end of the show.
Speaker 5 (27:56):
You're the best. Thanks for the call.
Speaker 9 (28:02):
I want to close by saying this, it's been as
jack wagen note, it's been a long haul, you folks.
Speaker 5 (28:11):
Many of you have felt beat.
Speaker 9 (28:15):
Down, put down, kept down, kicked.
Speaker 5 (28:17):
Down, and it's rough.
Speaker 9 (28:21):
You felt unsafe where you previously felt safe. You felt
like an outsider in your own country. You have been
called the worst of names. You have had your motives
and actions impugned. You have watched your wages, your real wages,
(28:42):
decrease as inflation shot through the roof.
Speaker 5 (28:45):
You've watched as your nation was put at.
Speaker 9 (28:48):
Risk through illegal immigration and returning violent criminals to the
streets through the Soros backed efforts. You've watched all these
things happen, and yet you never gave up. No greater
sign of patriotism can be seen. You never gave up.
(29:09):
You stayed the course, You kept fighting, you kept going,
and you did.
Speaker 5 (29:14):
It with a smile.
Speaker 9 (29:16):
You did it with a smile when the other side
was nasty, when they cry and scream and threaten and
bully and everything else, you did it with a smile.
You folks are absolutely wonderful. This is not just a
celebration for Donald Trump. It says celebration for you, and
(29:38):
it's a celebration for your kids and your grandkids. And
it's a great day for this country, which makes it
a great day for the world, because the world needs
a strong America, not involved in wars all over the world.
America needs a strong and prosperous America. And we are
(30:01):
heading into a wonderful golden age and you made that happen.
Speaker 5 (30:06):
It's an honor to get to share this time with us.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
See you.
Speaker 5 (30:10):

Speaker 9 (02:59):
The single greatest SoundBite from last night, distilled down into
(03:26):
eighteen seconds, was when John King of CNN explained to
Jake Tapper how thorough this whipping was.
Speaker 10 (03:40):
Listen to this, so you asked, are there any places
that the vice president is overperforming Joe Biden twenty twenty,
So we could show you that as well. We just
bring that out here, Harris overperforming twenty twenty.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
Holy smokes, there you go.
Speaker 10 (03:52):
So let this go away and see if there's anything
in the East Side.
Speaker 11 (03:55):
There literally nothing, literally nothing, literally not one county.
Speaker 9 (04:02):
She did not outperform Joe Biden in a single county.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
Let this slip. Let this sink in again. Play that again.
Speaker 10 (04:14):
So you asked, are there any places that the vice
president is overperforming Joe Biden in twenty twenty, So we
can show you that as well. We just bring that
out here. Harris overperforming in twenty twenty. Holy smokes, there
you go.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
So let this go.
Speaker 10 (04:25):
Away and see if there's anything in the East Side.
Speaker 11 (04:27):
There literally nothing, literally nothing, literally not one county.
Speaker 5 (04:32):
Now let me read you another fact.
Speaker 9 (04:35):
This is total number of votes for a Democrat running
for president by year.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
Okay.
Speaker 9 (04:41):
In two thousand and four, John Carey got fifty nine million,
So focus on about that sixty million number.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
Okay.
Speaker 9 (04:49):
Two thousand and four, he loses with fifty nine million.
Two thousand and eight, Obama has the best year for
a Democrat since the year two thousand, with sixty nine
point five million. In twenty twelve, that dropped down to
sixty five point nine million, but he still managed to win.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
So you notice we're at that sixty to sixty five
million number.
Speaker 9 (05:15):
In twenty sixteen, Clinton gets the same number, sixty five
point nine. Let's skip twenty twenty and go to twenty
twenty four. Kamala Harris gets sixty six point four in
her losing effort. So you got between sixty you got
(05:37):
sixty or sixty five million, except for the one outlier
of Obama's first year. So about sixty to sixty five
million is what Democrats have consistently done for twenty years,
except in twenty twenty when they want you to believe
Joe Biden got eighty one point three million votes. Eighty
(06:06):
one point three million, that's never been done before or since.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
That's all.
Speaker 9 (06:14):
It's about a thirty percent increase of what they do
on average. Think about that for a moment. That is
a dramatic increase from Barack Obama in two thousand and
eight for Joe Biden. Really, you expect us to believe that.
Since we're having fun with numbers, here's another one you
(06:34):
might find interesting. In the eighteen to twenty nine age
group eighteen to twenty nine. It is believed this is
exit polling data, but from a pretty good source. Eighteen
to twenty nine went fifty five Kamala forty two, Trump
(06:55):
thirty to forty four, fifty one percent Kamala forty six
for Trump forty five to sixty four. The gen xers,
they're called I'm one of them. Trump won fifty three
to forty five, fifty five and older. It split down
(07:16):
the middle fifty to fifty, Democrats taking a slight lead.
So Democrats won the young vote handily fifty five to
forty two. They won the thirty to forty four young professionals,
they won that fifty one forty six, and they slightly
(07:36):
led in the sixty five and over category. The only
category that Trump won, The only age demographic that Trump
won was forty five to sixty four, and it was
fifty three to forty five is what he wonted.
Speaker 5 (07:56):
That was enough to carry the day.
Speaker 9 (07:59):
You've got to in handily in the forty five to
sixty four category. No, you still want to perform well
in the other demographics, so you're not falling too far behind.
But when you actually you actually tally these numbers up,
you start really getting granular. It's fascinating stuff, folks. This
is a wonderful world. It's a wonderful guy. I will
(08:20):
die for this country. I will die for discras.
Speaker 5 (08:23):
To Michael Barry, Joe, He's the big honor to be
living in the United States.
Speaker 9 (08:30):
Let's put the Trump victory last night into historical perspective,
and I'm going to do something odd because I don't
care for Anderson Cooper and I really don't like Jake
Tapper at CNN.
Speaker 5 (08:47):
But let's let them tell you.
Speaker 12 (08:50):
Anderson, it is hard to think of a political comeback
that is actually more significant than this one.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
I'm tempted to.
Speaker 12 (08:57):
Say Richard Nixon, but that really fall short of what.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
Donald Trump has achieved.
Speaker 13 (09:03):
Yeah, I mean winning not just the electoral the electoral votes,
but the popular vote as well.
Speaker 12 (09:13):
One more time, ramone, Anderson, it is hard to think
of a political comeback that is actually more significant than
this one.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
I'm tempted to say.
Speaker 12 (09:24):
Richard Nixon, but that really falls short of.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
What Donald Trump has achieved. Yeah, I mean winning.
Speaker 13 (09:30):
Not just the electoral the electoral votes, but the popular
vote as well.
Speaker 9 (09:38):
Or a Republican to win the popular vote in twenty
twenty fours unthinkable, unthinkable. You don't have to win the
popular vote, you just need to win the electoral college.
Why is that important? I know you know this, but
let me explain. In a place like California where embracing
(09:59):
illegal im ration and allowing anyone to vote, and you
know illegals are voting means that the rest of the
world is getting to cast votes in your election, and
they can run up the score. There's no limit on
how many people can vote in California. So when you're
(10:19):
trying to win the hearts and souls of the American people,
the hearts and minds of the American people, you've also
got to compete against foreign countries that are voting in
California and New York.
Speaker 5 (10:31):
So for him to win the popular vote is wow.
Speaker 9 (10:37):
I mean, I cannot highlight enough how important that is.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
You know, they compared it to Nixon. Let's go back
and talk about Nixon.
Speaker 9 (10:47):
Nixon was a young senator from California who Eisenhower tapped
to be his vice president in fifty six, much like
Kamala Harris been in twenty twenty four if Biden had
run for reelection. Richard Nixon was believed to be a
drain on the Eisenhower candidacy.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
They wanted him out.
Speaker 9 (11:12):
It had been alleged he had taken bribes, among other things.
So Richard Nixon gives what can be known as a
checkers speech, and he talks about how he and his
wife pat there's simple people, just a simple coat. His
dog and checkers, and he's trying to humanize himself. The
media hated Richard Nixon much as they hate Donald Trump,
(11:37):
and in nineteen sixty, at the end of eight years
of having been the vice president, he runs for president,
much as George H. W. Bush did at the end
of the eight years of the Reagan presidency, or I
guess you could argue as Kamala Harris did last night,
although she never won the primary to get there. So
Nixon comes out of the sixty primary, and of course
he faces JFK and loses, and the nation's media wanted JFK.
(12:03):
They loved the Camelot story and everything that went with it.
So Nixon goes home to California and runs for governor
against Moonbeam Brown's you know, Jerry Brown, crazy governor, Jerry Brown,
his father.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
And Nixon.
Speaker 9 (12:19):
So if you ran for president and lost, your comeback
and Nixon much like Trump and a dogged, dogged ability
to focus, to drive, and it was almost as if
hating him made him push himself harder. So Nixon sets
(12:40):
about his comeback is going to be He's going to
be elected governor of California.
Speaker 5 (12:45):
And that's going to bring him back and he loses.
Speaker 9 (12:50):
The media was so hard on him that at the
end of the press conference to say I've lost, I'm
leaving politics. He famously says to the media at that
presser after the event, he said, you won't have O
Dick Nixon to kick around anymore. And then he goes
(13:10):
into Siberia. He kind of goes into exile, moves back
to New York. He's practicing law there. The sixty four
race was an absolute debacle. Goldwater was just destroyed by
LBJ who of course had been JFK's vice president when
(13:30):
he had him killed, and so then he becomes the
presidential candidate, and the Republican Party was in shambles. There
wasn't good messaging. The highlight of the sixty four election
was a guy who was paid by General Electric, former
president of the Screenwriters of the Actors Guild, who was
(13:51):
paid by General Electric to travel the country on behalf
of Barry Goldwater giving what came to be known as
the Speech.
Speaker 5 (13:57):
And he was really good at giving the speech. He
would give the.
Speaker 9 (13:59):
Speech every day, and he didn't try to vary the speech,
he didn't try to add flourishes. He delivered the speech
like an actor would deliver a speech and it was
very well received. And because he didn't have TV coverage
of the campaign, as he was going out and talking
to the chambers of commerce, nobody noticed that he was
given the same speech day after day after day. But
it would later be remarked upon that was Ronald Reagan.
(14:23):
But Reagan's not ready for prime time just yet. Nixon
is making his way back into the political world, and
Nixon in sixty eight would win the nomination. Reagan wanted
to run, Reaguar wanted to Nixon would win the nomination
and come back in a course being driven out for
them to say that Trump is bigger than a Nixon
(14:46):
comeback for those people who hate him.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
This is a truly glorious moment.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Man Michael Barry the Fox News Decision desk and now
officially projects that Donald Trumps will become the forty seventh
president of the United States.
Speaker 8 (15:13):
Celebri that's celebrity going on already here, a celebraton, the
laugh throughout the ub.
Speaker 14 (15:28):
We're going to fix our borders, We're going to fix
everything about our country.
Speaker 15 (15:31):
And we made history for a reason tonight, and the
reason is going to be just that we overcame obstacles
that nobody.
Speaker 14 (15:40):
Thought possible, and it is now clear that we've achieved
the most incredible political they Look, what happened is this phraser.
We are going to start by all putting America first.
We have to put our country first for at least
a period of time. We have to fix it because
that we can truly make America great again for all Americans.
(16:03):
So I want to just tell you what a great
honor this is.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
I want to thank you. I will not let you down.
Speaker 14 (16:09):
America's future will be bigger, better, bolder, richer, safer, and
stronger than it has ever been before.
Speaker 9 (16:23):
There was a moment last night on MSNBC when Michelle
Norris was reporting from the Kamala Harris election party at
Howard University. She never showed up by the way those people.
Some of them worked all day for her, some of
them worked for months. They've separated from their families, They've
turned on everyone for her, and there they were to
(16:44):
support her on this special occasion. And because she was losing,
she did not honor them by coming out and thanking
them for what they had done. She sent her chief
of staff out to say, y'all go on home. She
can't faciaw can you imagine her being president? She can't
face people when she's lost. That's a sign of leadership
(17:08):
and a lack of it to not be able to
So there they were at Howard University and MSNBC's Michelle
Norris says, people are rushing to the exits.
Speaker 16 (17:21):
You can probably see behind me the rush to the exits.
I mean, as soon as he said that, people turned
on their heels and they were out of here. The
evening was getting increasingly somber as people realize what this map.
Speaker 5 (17:31):
Is looking like.
Speaker 16 (17:32):
He did indicate that she would be back tomorrow to
speak to people here and to speak to the nation. That,
of course, is a logistical nightmare on several levels because
the university was not expecting her to come back tomorrow.
I don't know how large the crowd will be. There
are a lot of unknowns in that statement. I do
know if there was a lot of handry and in
consternation in her camp about when she should leave, about
(17:54):
when she should start to head here. In her victory party,
which was in another part of town, at what point
they turned off the TV set that just piped up
the music because the room was starting to get increasingly somber.
So a lot of people here, I'm not you know,
I haven't had a chance to talk to people who
expressed disappointment.
Speaker 5 (18:12):
Then there really is still a lot of people.
Speaker 16 (18:14):
Who are holding on to hope, trying hard to hold
on to hope. But the numbers, you know, it's hard
to do that in the face of a map that
really looks like it's presenting a very steep challenge to
the country that at this point is still very divided.
Speaker 9 (18:29):
You don't say who did that, Well, my state of
Texas stayed solid red, solid red across the board. They
spent eighty million dollars trying to get Colin all Wrong,
elected the California candidate to beat Ted Cruz to control
the Senate, and they couldn't pull it out.
Speaker 5 (18:51):
They couldn't pull it off.
Speaker 9 (18:54):
Here is Rachel Maddow saying that Texas has read because
of voter suppression. There's no voter suppression. Voter integrity. My
wife was once the Secretary of State. I understand voter integrity.
She was brought in to lead our first election after
our laws were changed to require voter ID in twenty fourteen.
She traveled to all two hundred and fifty four states.
(19:15):
I was very proud of her, and she explained that
there were seven different forms of identification you could use
to vote, and then if you didn't have a form
of identification, you could go to your DPS and get
one for free. We had voter turnout out the wazoo
because now that there's voter integrity, people want to vote.
(19:36):
They don't participate in what they consider to be fraudulent elections,
but when you show them that the game will be
played fairly, they will show up and vote in bigger numbers.
So for Rachel Maddow to say this is pure evil.
Speaker 17 (19:52):
In Texas, the unmotivated voter who thinks my vote is
not going to matter, maybe thinking about the presidential race.
But the reason that Texas may not matter in the
electoral college and it may not be competitive in the
electoral college maybe because of state policies that are outrageously
very suppressed yest, which you can change by voting in
(20:12):
state legislative and other state that's specific races. Regardless of
what's happening with Texas and electoral votes. And so there
is a sort of civics education and a civics awareness
and a civics organizing effort that is about changing the
way your state is governed so that your vote will
matter to the country.
Speaker 5 (20:35):
How about that? Isn't that interesting?
Speaker 9 (20:38):
Let's go back, as I mentioned earlier, Let's go back
to exactly how liberals view the menions, the.
Speaker 5 (20:47):
Peasants, the serfs.
Speaker 9 (20:51):
Kamala Harris when, just as Hillary Clinton did in sixteen,
when she realized she wasn't going to win, she didn't
go out to thank the people who had waited there
for her. So she sent her campaign chairman Cedric Richmond
to tell the crowd y'all can go on home.
Speaker 5 (21:08):
She ain't coming back to speak to you. Good evening, Hu.
Speaker 7 (21:15):
I want to say good evening to all of the.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
Harris campaign, the campaign family.
Speaker 5 (21:20):
Thank you for all that you have done. Thank you
for being here, thank you for.
Speaker 8 (21:27):
Being believing in the promise of America.
Speaker 5 (21:34):
We still have votes to count, We still.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
Have states that have not been called yet. We will
continue overnight to fight to make sure that every vote
is counted, that every voice hath foken.
Speaker 5 (21:53):
So you won't hear from the.
Speaker 11 (21:55):
Vice President tonight, but you will hear from her tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
She will be back here tomorrow to address.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
Not only to hate you family, not only.
Speaker 9 (22:07):
To address her support us, but to address the nation.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
So thank you, we believe in you.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
May God bless you, May God keep you, and go.
Speaker 14 (22:18):
Hate you and go Harris, thank you all.
Speaker 5 (22:24):
She just showed them what she thinks of them. Just nothing.
Speaker 9 (22:28):
Now compare that to Donald Trump telling people, telling all
Americans that I will fight for you as Americans, America first,
and your family, every citizen.
Speaker 14 (22:42):
I will fight for you, for your family, at your future.
Every single day I will be fighting for you, and
with every breath in my body, I will not rest
until we have delivered the strong, safe, and prosperous America
that our children and that you deserve.
Speaker 15 (23:02):
This will truly be the golden age of America. That's
why we have to This is a magnificent victory for
the American people that.
Speaker 14 (23:15):
Will allow us to make America great again.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
Cattle cattle. I had a fine.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
And Michael Berry in the I don't want to be
part of winning elections.
Speaker 9 (23:35):
I want to be a part of making this nation
great for me or my children, for my grandchildren. I
feel that I feel honor bound, duty bound to do that.
As it was handed to me, what's important to understand
is that this wasn't an electoral victory alone. This is
(23:59):
a move It will be here when Trump's gone, It
will be here when we're gone. That's our responsibility. And
I love the fact that he used the word movement.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
Well, I want to.
Speaker 5 (24:14):
Thank you all very much.
Speaker 14 (24:15):
This is great.
Speaker 15 (24:16):
These are our friends. We have thousands of friends in
this incredible movement.
Speaker 14 (24:22):
This was a movement like nobody's ever seen before.
Speaker 7 (24:27):
And frankly, this.
Speaker 14 (24:31):
Was I believe the greatest political movement of all time.
There's ever been anything like this in this country and
maybe be all and now it's going to reach a
new level of importance because we're going to help our country.
Speaker 5 (24:49):
Heal, We to help our country here.
Speaker 14 (24:51):
We have a country that needs help, and it needs
help very badly. We're going to fix our borders, We're
going to fix everything about our country. And we made
history for a reason tonight, and the reason is going
to be just that.
Speaker 5 (25:08):
We overcame obstacles.
Speaker 14 (25:10):
That nobody thought possible and it is now clear that
we've achieved the most incredible political they look, what happened
is this crazy? But it's a political victory that our
country has never seen before, nothing like this. I want
(25:33):
to thank the American people for the extraordinary honor of
being elected.
Speaker 5 (25:38):
Your forty seventh president. And you're forty fifth president. Jack Wagon,
you're on the Michael Berry Show. Go ahead, sir, Why Mike.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
Yeah. When Neil Romney was governor of Massachusetts, so I
used to take a lot of shipments of produce and
meat into into Boston. I did that almost four years.
Speaker 7 (26:02):
In one shipment, I found myself on.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
The Irish side of town, in this bar that was
noted for having some gangster assassination there and whatnot. I'm like, okay.
Speaker 7 (26:14):
And then I always used to like to get into Boston.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
Early so I could run around and play around. And
so as the night went on, some guy started getting
mout and he's going talking about Romney running for president
and going, there ain't no Mormon that's ever going to
be president, and blah blah.
Speaker 7 (26:31):
Blah blah blah.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
So me being they hold I am, I go, what
a little honesty and integrity integrity is too much for
Massachusetts to handle? And oh my god, it was all
pretty much stay there on and I'll tell you what
you don't want to rile up in Irishman in Boston,
and uh, and I was.
Speaker 5 (26:54):
So proud of that.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
And then having washed Hew Mittens ran himself through the
presidential and the way he acted, and then how he
was so proud of himself for what he had done
to Trump and everything. I'm just like, oh man, I'll
tell you what. I'm like one of the original tea
party people. And I used to I was tea Party,
or for they were tea Party. I used to sit
(27:16):
there in Boston and tell everybody, boy, you guys are
famous for the Dame Tea Party and here you are
one of the most overtaxed states in the Union. And
it's like, you know, and I was so proud to
have done that, and I, oh, I fell it. You
know how it is when when you're a dog and
(27:38):
you get beaten.
Speaker 7 (27:40):
Just after you saved your master's baby. That's how I felt.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
I've never had that.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
What you ever seen a dog that gets a beat
for good?
Speaker 9 (27:53):
Wagon, We're up against a break, we're up against the
end of the show.
Speaker 5 (27:56):
You're the best. Thanks for the call.
Speaker 9 (28:02):
I want to close by saying this, it's been as
jack wagen note, it's been a long haul, you folks.
Speaker 5 (28:11):
Many of you have felt beat.
Speaker 9 (28:15):
Down, put down, kept down, kicked.
Speaker 5 (28:17):
Down, and it's rough.
Speaker 9 (28:21):
You felt unsafe where you previously felt safe. You felt
like an outsider in your own country. You have been
called the worst of names. You have had your motives
and actions impugned. You have watched your wages, your real wages,
(28:42):
decrease as inflation shot through the roof.
Speaker 5 (28:45):
You've watched as your nation was put at.
Speaker 9 (28:48):
Risk through illegal immigration and returning violent criminals to the
streets through the Soros backed efforts. You've watched all these
things happen, and yet you never gave up. No greater
sign of patriotism can be seen. You never gave up.
(29:09):
You stayed the course, You kept fighting, you kept going,
and you did.
Speaker 5 (29:14):
It with a smile.
Speaker 9 (29:16):
You did it with a smile when the other side
was nasty, when they cry and scream and threaten and
bully and everything else, you did it with a smile.
You folks are absolutely wonderful. This is not just a
celebration for Donald Trump. It says celebration for you, and
(29:38):
it's a celebration for your kids and your grandkids. And
it's a great day for this country, which makes it
a great day for the world, because the world needs
a strong America, not involved in wars all over the world.
America needs a strong and prosperous America. And we are
(30:01):
heading into a wonderful golden age and you made that happen.
Speaker 5 (30:06):
It's an honor to get to share this time with us.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
See you.
Speaker 5 (30:10):
Back to Mom.
