Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Michael Verishow is on the air.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
All day, every day on the radio, online, and television.
People claim to know and to state what Americans are thinking,
how Americans think about particular issues. And one thing you
learn very early, and you should have noticed this is
(00:41):
that when you're a person who does that, there's extra
credit for having a great deal of confidence in whatever
you say, even if you're just making it up out
of thin air. And this is how they get it
so wrong. This is how you get right from the
New York Times telling us that this is what's going on,
(01:03):
and this is what these people think, and then you
find out they finally let loose at one point when
they've had too many glasses of wine. On Twitter, I've
never known a single human being who drove a truck.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
And you go, wait a minute, you can't talk.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
About what Americans think if you do not know a
single person and never have who drives a truck. And
I'm talking about I'm not talking about an eighteen wheeler.
I'm talking short bed, long bed. I'm talking about what
most people where I live do drive, including but not
(01:40):
limited to Ramon. I refer to my Chevy Tahoe as
a truck, but mostly to annoy Ramon, because in Ramon's mind,
if the bed is not open, it ain't a truck.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
It's a closed end truck, a feminized truck. But my
point is.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
One thing about elections that makes them useful is that
if people don't vote the way they were told to vote,
and they vote independently, as they did this time, then
you actually get a real sense.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Of what people think. To some extent, you don't know
which issue was the most important to a voter who
voted for Trump or voted for Kamlo, but you can
start to see some indicators.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
And the rest of the world has no understanding of
the American people. He blows their mind, especially the europe
that the Europeans. I lived in England for a year
getting a law degree after I finished my law degree here,
and I was surprised at how many sort of myths
and things about the United States people had, and things
they just didn't understand. So there's a fellow named Constantine Kissen,
(02:54):
and he did a longer deal and this is about
as long as I wanted to play. It's only three minutes,
which is longer than most audio clips we play, but
this was his top ten reasons the British didn't see
Trump winning, and I think it's actually I think it's
actually pretty perceptive. There are some folks who've really, I believe,
(03:16):
nailed what's happening in America right now, and this happens
to be one of them.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Here are the ten reasons.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
One, Americans love their country and wanted to be the
best country in the world. America is a nation of
people who conquered a continent. They love strength, they love winning.
Any leader who appeals to that has an automatic advantage.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Two.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
Unlike Europeans, Americans have not accepted managed decline.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
They don't have ned zero here.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
They believe in producing their own energy and making it
as cheap as possible because they know that their prosperity
depends on it.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Three.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Prices for most basic goods in the US have increased
rapidly and the sky high. What the official statistics say
about inflation and the reality of people's lives are not
the same.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Four.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Unlike you, Americans do not believe in socialism. They believe
in meritocracy. They don't care about the super rich being
super rich because they know that they live in a
country where being super rich is available to anyone with
the talent and drive to make it. They don't resent success,
they celebrate it. Five Americans are the most pro immigration
(04:27):
people in the world. Yes, they're the most pro immigration
people in the world. Americans love an immigrant success story.
They want more talented immigrants to come to America, but
they refuse to accept people coming here illegally.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
They believe in having a border.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
Six Americans are sensitive about racial issues and their country's
imperfect history. They believe that those who are disadvantaged by
the circumstances of their birth should be given the opportunity
to succeed. What they reject, however, is the idea that
in order to address the errors of the past, new
errors must be made.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
DEI is racist.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
They know it, and they reject it precisely because they're
not racist. Seven Americans are the most philo Semitic nation
on Earth October seventh, and the pro Hamas Left's reactions
shocked them to the very core, because, among other things,
they remember what nine to eleven was like, and they
know gihad when they see it. Eight Americans are extremely
(05:29):
practical people.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
They care about what works, not what sounds good.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
In Europe, we produce great writers and intellectuals. In America,
they produce and attract great engineers, businessmen, and investors. Because
of this, they care less about Trump's rhetoric than you do,
and more about his policies than you do.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Nine.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Americans are deeply optimistic people. They hate negativity. The woke
view of American history as a series of evils for
which they must eternally apologize is abhorrent to them. They
believe in moving forward together, not endlessly obsessing about the past.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
And ten.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
America is a country whose founding story is one of
resistance to government overreach. They loathe unnecessary restrictions, regulations, and control.
They understand that freedom comes with a price, and that
price is self reliance.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
They pay it gladly.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
I'll bet you we've got ten thousand sweet little ladies
of seventy or more that would make a pound case
that you could eat cold and enjoy. Michael Very shows
we will be drilling down into what happened in the
(06:45):
election and what happens going forward. As we move forward,
one of the things we're going to need to focus
on is the House and the Senate, and this comes
from CNN's Chris Wallace, a little weasel that he is,
but listen to this.
Speaker 5 (06:56):
I mean, let's talk about the significance of a Republican
and if and I repeat, if Donald Trump is elected president,
it means that they can confirm without any Democratic votes,
any appointment he makes to his cabinet, to the government,
to the Supreme Court should there be a vacancy. It's
(07:17):
an enormous advantage to a president. And at this point
we haven't talked about it much. But in the House,
although that hasn't been decided yet, the Republicans have flipped
three Democratic seats. The Democrats haven't flipped a single Republican seat.
So there is the possibility here of a complete United
(07:38):
Republican government with Donald Trump as the president and with
a Republican House and Senate, which means that in terms
of appointments, in terms of immigration policy, economic policy, environmental policy,
you name it, he could have a pretty blank check.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Let's go to Michael. You're on the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Go ahead, Hey, Michael, I just want to give a
call because I haven't heard anybody mention this, but I
think the person that we all need to thank most
for Donald Trump's victory is Barack Obama, and the reason
being is I don't think Donald Trump will have ever
stepped into politics if it wasn't for Barack Obama chiding him.
(08:22):
I think it was twenty fifteen or twenty fourteen at
the Al Smith dinner we.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Looked at Trump and said one thing.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
You'll never be as president or something on that line.
Then that really pushed Trump to want to run for
a presidency. Then over this past election cycle, I don't
think well, first off, Barack Obama forced.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Joe Biden out of the president out of the race.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
I honestly think they will have been able to cheat
if Biden will stayed in because.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
It will have been a lot closer than it was
against Kamla.
Speaker 6 (08:57):
So we can thank him for that, and we can
also thank him for e chiting all the African American
men for not being black enough if they didn't vote
for Commas. So I think his pompousness is what's really
driven in MAGA movement and drove the black vote to
get out and vote for Donald Trump. So all in all,
(09:21):
I think we really need to thank Barack Obama for
Donald Trump's rise and the right of the MAGA movement.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
But I get the point and the irony or satire
that is intended, and it's not lost on me. But
I don't give Barack Obama credit for anything, nor will
I now.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
I do attribute his errors. His arrogance is evil. I
believe the man has committed crimes, serious crimes. I believe that.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
I don't care if his wife has a wiener or not.
People focus on those sorts of things. I guess that's
another thing that and add to what they don't like
about him.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
He's a bad human being.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
And somewhere along the way, in the course of the
life of our republic, this free people. And by the way,
one of the great joys is that in twenty twenty six,
during the middle of Donald Trump's presidency, will be the
two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of our people being free.
(10:27):
We didn't have a constitution yet, but we were free.
We were independent.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
We were our own, our own.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Civilization, our own community, our own In the Max Weber
since nation, it wasn't just that we shared a language
or tract of land.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
It was that there was a spirit. You know.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Bono had one of the deepest things I've ever heard
said about the United States, and I don't care much
for his politics, but he makes I think a brilliant point.
I mean, he's a songwriter, he's a man who expresses
ideas in words beautifully, and I love this particular phrasing
(11:08):
and concept by him.
Speaker 7 (11:10):
It's not a right left issue, it's a right wrong issue.
And America has constantly been on the side of what's
right because when it comes down to it, this is
about keeping faith with the idea of America, because America
is an idea, isn't it. I mean, Ireland is a
great country, but it's not an idea. Great Britain is
(11:34):
a great country, it's not an idea.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
That's how we see you around the world.
Speaker 7 (11:40):
That's one of the greatest ideas in human history, right
up there with the Renaissance, right up there with crop
rotation on the Beatles' White Album. The idea, the American idea,
it's an idea. The idea is that you and me
are created equal. It will ensure that an I can
recession need not become an equality recession. The idea that
(12:04):
life is not meant to be endured but enjoyed. The
idea that if we have dignity, if we have justice.
Then leave it to us. We'll do the rest. This
country was the first to claw its way out of
darkness and put that on paper, and God love you
for it. Because these aren't just American ideas anymore. There's
(12:25):
no copyright on them. You brought them into the world.
It's a wide world now. I know. Americans say they've
a bit of the world in them, and you do.
The family tree has lots of branches. But the thing is,
the world has a bit of America in it too.
These truths, your truths, they're self evident in us.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
We're the only nation born of an idea. When does
Germany start? When does France start? You know, you study
the civilization of the Gauls or what we now call Germany,
and you bring together these pieces. You know, Italy was.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
The Neapolitans and the Sicilians and the Tuscans and the Genuines,
and you bring them together under a flag and you
call them nation, and you muster an army. But at
the end of the day, it's not on the basis
(13:33):
of an idea. It's typically by brute force. It's typically
by brute force. And the beauty of July fourth, seventeen
seventy six. Is that was the moment that in a
rented room on Main Street in Philadelphia, Jefferson presents the
final draft of a document outlining as a people who
(13:54):
and what we are? I mean, I can't begin to
tell you how moving I find this to be. I realized,
these are the things that you learned in Civics when
you really just wanted to get with Susie behind the building.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
But it really is deep. It's so profoundly deep.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
In a religious, spiritual way when you consider whether you
were born here or you came here, that there's nowhere
on earth that people want to be more than here
the entire world, like ants to the honey, ants to
the sugar, want to get here because it's freedom, it's opportunity.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Now, many of them don't understand.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
How you get that freedom, how you maintain that freedom,
how you maintain that opportunity, because they come from cultures
that didn't have that, So they want to institute all
that they know, which would actually destroy that freedom and opportunity.
But God bless America that we live in this place.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
A form decision. So you're giving them the inso, Michael.
Speaker 6 (14:56):
Arry, because you're a public Paul Revere in The Morning
rare moment.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Of introspection.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
By Joe Scarborough, an MSNBC who does Morning Joe with
his mistress, Mika Brazinski, whose father.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Was a horrible, horrible government.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Figure in the Carter administration. Joe Scarborough has a disturbing
past as a congressman. Just look it up, and he
was once a Republican. He was once an aspiring, very
ambitious Republican and he.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Well, just go look it up.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
So like many of these people, he's he's found that
as a former Republican, as a former supposed.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Conservative, he never was.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
That when you get cast out of your own house,
you're worthwhile to the opposition. Then they can parade you around.
This is what bo Bergdahl thought would happen. He would
defect from the United States and enjoin ISIS or the
the one of those groups, and you know, he would
be put into a position of leadership because he's a
(16:07):
white American. Instead, it turned out quite differently for him.
But Joe Scarborough, there's a moment here where he's a
little more introspective. And the guy who blames Trump for everything,
you know, he once admired Trump.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
I think he still does. He's got a problem. I
think he's a woman still does too. But he's admitting
to something.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
This is the moment where you realize you were right
all along, He says, Democrats made a mistake allowing men
to play women's sports. This is part of the culture
war that Trump understands. This is how you win back women.
Protect women, not their ability to have unprotected sex with
(16:50):
random men, and then kill the baby.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Protect little girls.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
On the playing field from having from being bashed by boys.
I think Megan Kelly's done a great job advancing this agenda.
But here is MSNBC's Morning Joe making that point, which
is rare for him to make a good point.
Speaker 8 (17:08):
The Washington Post Matt Bye writes, some part I do
think the prosecutions fed a narrative of Trump as a victim.
I also think Democrats dug themselves into a hole on
cultural issues and identity politics. Trump's vicious transgender ad in
the closing weeks, She's for they them, He's for you
was probably the most effective of the cycle. I think
(17:30):
that probably landed with a lot of traditionally Democratic voters
who feel like the party is consumed for the cultural
issues while the economic issues don't really change. I think
people needed a reason to feel good and hopeful about
voting for her, and absent that, a lot of frustrated
voters apparently decided to go with the guy who wants
(17:51):
to burn it all down.
Speaker 9 (17:53):
Let's dig a little never because you have that stacked
on top of what happened on college cab This is
this fall stacked on top of what's been happening on
college campuses over the past four or five years. I
have said this on the air, and every time I've
said it, people said, Oh, you're just saying that because
you're a white conservative.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
No, I'm just saying.
Speaker 9 (18:14):
It because every Democrat that we have ever sat down
with dinner with over the past five years who have
kids that go to colleges say their kids are afraid
to speak in class because they'll be canceled.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Let me say that again, and they're all Democrats.
Speaker 9 (18:29):
Everybody that we've had dinner with, if they have a
kid in college, you go, O sucks and they're hitting
beautiful day to day, wasn't it. Do you know my
daughter at University Virginia, she's afraid to raise her hands
in class because if she says something that's politically incorrect.
She will immediately be canceled, she'll be shunned from class,
should be destroyed in social media by noon. So they
(18:51):
just sit in class quiet. Now, if any of you
which cam, we give me camber to look at it.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Boom all look at that one.
Speaker 9 (18:57):
If any of you out there say, oh, that's just
like a conservative, white southern guy, da da da, that's.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Where you're losing. That's why you're losing.
Speaker 9 (19:07):
Because that's what I heard, and I didn't hear it
from Republicans. I didn't hear it from Trumper's I heard
it from Democrats over the past three or four years.
Their kids were afraided to talk in class and say
something unpopular because they would be canceled. And it's an epidemic.
Will we will tell you it happens in New York
City schools, it.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Happens in colleges. And all of this adds up to people.
Speaker 9 (19:30):
Going, come on, come on, this is crazy, and Mike
is having an impact from again the transad to yeah,
the athletics by the way, by the way, as we've
said of the show a thousand times, Democrats should be
smarter on the women's athletics saying eighty five percent of
Americans oppose men transitioning after puberty and competing against women.
(19:53):
And I'm not just saying this the day after the election.
I've been saying this for years. This is not a
hard call. You can show compassion and you can show grace,
and as the Republican governor of Utah said, let's figure
out a way to do this. But one way we
don't do this is by allowing men who transition after
puberty competing against young girls who have been working their
(20:17):
entire lives to be as good as they can be,
and then they get destroyed in the pool, on the track,
et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
And since we're on the subject, here is CNN's Sanchez.
These are over the last few days. I just haven't
had a chance to get to him. Here's CNN's Boris
Sanchez making the point that Democrats have no idea how
to connect with Latino voters. And this is true for
the same reason they're struggling to connect with white males
(20:46):
who are not college educated. That's veterans, that's welders and
painters and plumbers and electricians. They're just not connecting with
these people because they're trying to dress boys up as
girls and tell you to drink their beer, and it's
not working.
Speaker 10 (21:02):
Two years ago, Dan, during the midterms, we were sitting
here stunned at rond de Santis winning so many Latinos
in Florida and Republicans flipping seats in the Rio Grand
Valley in Texas. But this is a trend that's been
percolating for some time, in part because Donald Trump, I believe,
and speaking to a number of Republicans and Democrats, has
a unique appeal to Latino voters. Most Latino voters are
(21:22):
working class folks, and despite his crude sense of humor,
despite the jokes that he makes, despite the exaggerations about
his wealth and his exploits, for folks that are from
where I'm from and folks that I've grown up around,
that resonates more so than man, not just the strong man,
but a figure that has succeeded in capitalism, that has
(21:46):
wealth that he flaunts, versus the conversation that they hear
often from Democrats about Latin X or LATINX. I don't
know how to say it. No one where I'm from
knows how to say that word. They don't use it.
And so in conversations that I've been having with Republican
operatives today, they pointed out that a lot of it
just has to do with conversation.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
The way the conversations have helped.
Speaker 10 (22:08):
And actually I spoke with one Democrat moments ago, a
Latino operative, who said, we need to rethink the way
that we talked to folks.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Specifically, have you ever made money off of it? We
didn't get nothing the hard time the Michael Berry Show.
It's a damn shame. It's a damn shame.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Since we're on the subject of failed Republicans who then
went over and got paid by Democrats to trust to
trash Republicans. And by the way, Nicki Haley is top
of the list. Scott Jennings, who's been a breath of
fresh air on CNN. I think he'll end up. I
think he should be Donald Trump's press secretary. I think
it'd be a great one. I think you could handle
(22:47):
it quite well. He's proven that under fire. Here he
is talking about the never Trump industry. These are the
Bill Crystals and the Jonah Goldbergs, and the Rick Wilson's,
and the the folks who were once Republicans and are
now getting paid by rich Democrats to trash Trump. And
(23:09):
a Navarro was one of those. Jennifer Ruben was one
of those. Max boot was one of those, and his
wife got caught as a spy. But they're all scoundrels,
and they're hustlers, and they're grifters, and as Scott Jennings says,
and they're ineffective. Nobody's listening to them.
Speaker 11 (23:25):
This never Trump whole complex that grew over the last
several years. Nothing has ever failed as hard in politics
as this, The Lincoln Project, all these people that built
millions upon millions upon millions of dollars from Democratic donors,
and all the eggs that was put.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
In this basket. The split was amazing.
Speaker 11 (23:45):
Trump got like ninety four percent of Republicans. I don't
think they accomplished anything except probably build a bunch of
beach hous's. That's about what they did. Republicans being lectured
to condescended, to browbeaten by all these folks over the
last I mean, look at some juncture, it's okay if
we have different opinions about the election. You don't have
(24:06):
to beat people to death over it. And the more
you do that, the more it drives people away. Total failure,
and let's close the show for the week.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
You know, poles end up having a great level of
influence to the extent that people believe them. So I
follow something called pole Fair, which reviews polls to tell
you which poles are actually being paid for about people
to say things that aren't actually true. And they did
a study on polls in the battleground states for this
(24:38):
election cycle, and the number one most effective poll was
Atlas Intel. It was the only one that was over
ninety percent at eighty six percent. Was Rasmussen pretty daring
effective at seventy one percent, was Trafalgar Insider Advantage, and
Real Clear Politics. Nothing else cracked above seventy percent. Wall
(25:04):
Street Journal was at fifty percent. They got half the
polls right as to who would win and lose.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
But guess what.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
By getting half the polls right, that puts them in
the top twenty five percent because nobody else got it right.
Beacon doing their polls for Fox was only at fifty
Marist was at fifty five point thirty eight. Nate Silver
that was thought to be so good before down at
forty three percent, Quidnipiac forty percent, Susquehanna thirty three percent,
(25:37):
CNN thirty three percent, Bloomberg thirty three percent, Washington Post
thirty three percent, CBS twenty five percent. Shame on you, Sienna,
the Siena poll fourteen percent, they got one out of seven.
You're wrong almost every darn time. And so we'll close
(26:02):
the show with the words of Greg Guttfeldt on Fox,
who made the brilliant point that pollsters this season had
the accuracy of Stevie Wonder playing Jinga. And as you
think about this, just remember this. They'll start the polls
again soon, and they'll tell us that the American people
don't like Trump. They don't like the job he's doing,
(26:24):
they don't like the deportations, they don't like the closing
of the border.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
They don't like this. And just remember the polls are lies,
live by the hoaxes.
Speaker 12 (26:37):
So it's true. Kamala Harris got slacked like a hardwood
floor on this old house. And instead of an evening
concession speech, she avoided her supporters like Hunter Biden, dodging
child support.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
For the first time.
Speaker 12 (26:52):
She wasn't laughing, although you got to admit this is
pretty hilarious.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Watch.
Speaker 7 (26:57):
Are there any places where Kamala Harris overperformed from where
Biden did?
Speaker 2 (27:02):
So we could show you that as well.
Speaker 7 (27:03):
We just bring that out here, Harris overperforming twenty twenty.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Holy smokes, there you go talk. So let us go away.
A feet's anything from the east side.
Speaker 10 (27:11):
There literally nothing, literally not one country by street for
central North at.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
It that way.
Speaker 12 (27:19):
This is called a mandate. He won the popular vote
by over five million. That can't be explained away. The
Dems can't give their usual excuses with more butt butt
butts than a Kardashian family reunion, And so there will
be changes. Shoplifters may actually have to pay for stuff,
migrant gangs might have to get a new realtor, and
(27:41):
Jimmy Kimmel will probably be institutionalized.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
But there's a larger question.
Speaker 12 (27:47):
Did Trump do this by the strength of his personality alone?
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Or has America changed? And Trump's just the first to
call it like it is. I mean he did that.
Speaker 12 (27:56):
With the media, the same collection of hacks who told
his fairy tales about how close this this was all
going to be, and how abortion would send the evil
Orange Man packing, and how the polls were.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Going to be honest this time.
Speaker 12 (28:08):
Turns out they had the accuracy of Stevie.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Wonder playing Jenga.
Speaker 12 (28:11):
The truth is.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
So cheap. The truth is Musk and.
Speaker 12 (28:22):
Joe Rogan and a few other podcasts did more to
get the word out on this election than all the
legacy media combined.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
It's amazing. Tells you one thing. Legacy media is dead.
It is. I only hope.
Speaker 12 (28:37):
I only hope that if Brian Stelter jumps from a window,
it's from the first floor, so we won't crush dozens
of pedestrians. But there's another group that's over too. It's Hollywood.
All the virtue signaling from the anistons and the cloonies,
it didn't mean a thing. All that botox must have
paralyzed their brains into believing it matters what they think. Sorry, sorry, douchebags,
(29:05):
you're just hairless circus bears here to entertain us. The
other message, identity politics is dead. Deida.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Enough with.
Speaker 12 (29:19):
Enough of dividing Americans into absurd categories that only matter
to self obsessed people with more pronouns than friends. The
truth is Americans of all stripes want the same things. Prosperity, safety,
a president who doesn't smell like an outhouse. It's why
Trump won record numbers of Hispanics and Black voters, but
(29:40):
he also won a whole bunch.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Of different people. What else could appeal to both black
men in Amish voters.
Speaker 12 (29:47):
Well, that list is Trump and common sense.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
And fat asses.
Speaker 12 (29:55):
But perhaps the biggest unsung hero Kamala Harris. She secret weapon,
proving that you cannot win by identity alone. You need ideas,
a vision of a better life brains.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
You can't just tell us how deplorable.
Speaker 12 (30:09):
We are, laughed like a lunatic, and then rush home
to make sure Doug's not tapping the nanny again like
a keg abud light. Because whether you like Trump's policies
or not, at least he had some.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
So will the media learn anything from this?
Speaker 12 (30:26):
Will the Dems course not expect to be told how
sexist and racist you are for the next four years.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
But it won't work because.
Speaker 12 (30:33):
By now our collective skin is tougher than a two
dollars steak. After all, the opposition called trumpet.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Fascist and a Nazi.
Speaker 12 (30:40):
They shot him, They told us he was a threat
to democracy.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
The coastal elite and the.
Speaker 12 (30:44):
Obamas, Clinton's and Biden's told us no decent person would
vote for him, and yet he caused a.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Landslide bigger than the cast of the view on a
snowboarding trip.
Speaker 12 (30:56):
That's why last night's reckoning signals something bigger even than Trump.
You could see it in the faces of those who
voted for him and those who didn't.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
The American people.
Speaker 12 (31:07):
Went from wanting to deciding, and that decision is now
reflected in the calm that you sense right now.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
We may not get this country back on its
Speaker 12 (31:14):
Feet tomorrow, but we're well on our way.
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Michael Verishow is on the air.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
All day, every day on the radio, online, and television.
People claim to know and to state what Americans are thinking,
how Americans think about particular issues. And one thing you
learn very early, and you should have noticed this is
(00:41):
that when you're a person who does that, there's extra
credit for having a great deal of confidence in whatever
you say, even if you're just making it up out
of thin air. And this is how they get it
so wrong. This is how you get right from the
New York Times telling us that this is what's going on,
(01:03):
and this is what these people think, and then you
find out they finally let loose at one point when
they've had too many glasses of wine. On Twitter, I've
never known a single human being who drove a truck.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
And you go, wait a minute, you can't talk.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
About what Americans think if you do not know a
single person and never have who drives a truck. And
I'm talking about I'm not talking about an eighteen wheeler.
I'm talking short bed, long bed. I'm talking about what
most people where I live do drive, including but not
(01:40):
limited to Ramon. I refer to my Chevy Tahoe as
a truck, but mostly to annoy Ramon, because in Ramon's mind,
if the bed is not open, it ain't a truck.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
It's a closed end truck, a feminized truck. But my
point is.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
One thing about elections that makes them useful is that
if people don't vote the way they were told to vote,
and they vote independently, as they did this time, then
you actually get a real sense.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Of what people think. To some extent, you don't know
which issue was the most important to a voter who
voted for Trump or voted for Kamlo, but you can
start to see some indicators.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
And the rest of the world has no understanding of
the American people. He blows their mind, especially the europe
that the Europeans. I lived in England for a year
getting a law degree after I finished my law degree here,
and I was surprised at how many sort of myths
and things about the United States people had, and things
they just didn't understand. So there's a fellow named Constantine Kissen,
(02:54):
and he did a longer deal and this is about
as long as I wanted to play. It's only three minutes,
which is longer than most audio clips we play, but
this was his top ten reasons the British didn't see
Trump winning, and I think it's actually I think it's
actually pretty perceptive. There are some folks who've really, I believe,
(03:16):
nailed what's happening in America right now, and this happens
to be one of them.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Here are the ten reasons.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
One, Americans love their country and wanted to be the
best country in the world. America is a nation of
people who conquered a continent. They love strength, they love winning.
Any leader who appeals to that has an automatic advantage.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Two.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
Unlike Europeans, Americans have not accepted managed decline.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
They don't have ned zero here.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
They believe in producing their own energy and making it
as cheap as possible because they know that their prosperity
depends on it.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Three.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Prices for most basic goods in the US have increased
rapidly and the sky high. What the official statistics say
about inflation and the reality of people's lives are not
the same.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Four.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Unlike you, Americans do not believe in socialism. They believe
in meritocracy. They don't care about the super rich being
super rich because they know that they live in a
country where being super rich is available to anyone with
the talent and drive to make it. They don't resent success,
they celebrate it. Five Americans are the most pro immigration
(04:27):
people in the world. Yes, they're the most pro immigration
people in the world. Americans love an immigrant success story.
They want more talented immigrants to come to America, but
they refuse to accept people coming here illegally.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
They believe in having a border.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
Six Americans are sensitive about racial issues and their country's
imperfect history. They believe that those who are disadvantaged by
the circumstances of their birth should be given the opportunity
to succeed. What they reject, however, is the idea that
in order to address the errors of the past, new
errors must be made.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
DEI is racist.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
They know it, and they reject it precisely because they're
not racist. Seven Americans are the most philo Semitic nation
on Earth October seventh, and the pro Hamas Left's reactions
shocked them to the very core, because, among other things,
they remember what nine to eleven was like, and they
know gihad when they see it. Eight Americans are extremely
(05:29):
practical people.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
They care about what works, not what sounds good.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
In Europe, we produce great writers and intellectuals. In America,
they produce and attract great engineers, businessmen, and investors. Because
of this, they care less about Trump's rhetoric than you do,
and more about his policies than you do.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Nine.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Americans are deeply optimistic people. They hate negativity. The woke
view of American history as a series of evils for
which they must eternally apologize is abhorrent to them. They
believe in moving forward together, not endlessly obsessing about the past.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
And ten.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
America is a country whose founding story is one of
resistance to government overreach. They loathe unnecessary restrictions, regulations, and control.
They understand that freedom comes with a price, and that
price is self reliance.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
They pay it gladly.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
I'll bet you we've got ten thousand sweet little ladies
of seventy or more that would make a pound case
that you could eat cold and enjoy. Michael Very shows
we will be drilling down into what happened in the
(06:45):
election and what happens going forward. As we move forward,
one of the things we're going to need to focus
on is the House and the Senate, and this comes
from CNN's Chris Wallace, a little weasel that he is,
but listen to this.
Speaker 5 (06:56):
I mean, let's talk about the significance of a Republican
and if and I repeat, if Donald Trump is elected president,
it means that they can confirm without any Democratic votes,
any appointment he makes to his cabinet, to the government,
to the Supreme Court should there be a vacancy. It's
(07:17):
an enormous advantage to a president. And at this point
we haven't talked about it much. But in the House,
although that hasn't been decided yet, the Republicans have flipped
three Democratic seats. The Democrats haven't flipped a single Republican seat.
So there is the possibility here of a complete United
(07:38):
Republican government with Donald Trump as the president and with
a Republican House and Senate, which means that in terms
of appointments, in terms of immigration policy, economic policy, environmental policy,
you name it, he could have a pretty blank check.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Let's go to Michael. You're on the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Go ahead, Hey, Michael, I just want to give a
call because I haven't heard anybody mention this, but I
think the person that we all need to thank most
for Donald Trump's victory is Barack Obama, and the reason
being is I don't think Donald Trump will have ever
stepped into politics if it wasn't for Barack Obama chiding him.
(08:22):
I think it was twenty fifteen or twenty fourteen at
the Al Smith dinner we.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Looked at Trump and said one thing.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
You'll never be as president or something on that line.
Then that really pushed Trump to want to run for
a presidency. Then over this past election cycle, I don't
think well, first off, Barack Obama forced.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Joe Biden out of the president out of the race.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
I honestly think they will have been able to cheat
if Biden will stayed in because.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
It will have been a lot closer than it was
against Kamla.
Speaker 6 (08:57):
So we can thank him for that, and we can
also thank him for e chiting all the African American
men for not being black enough if they didn't vote
for Commas. So I think his pompousness is what's really
driven in MAGA movement and drove the black vote to
get out and vote for Donald Trump. So all in all,
(09:21):
I think we really need to thank Barack Obama for
Donald Trump's rise and the right of the MAGA movement.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
But I get the point and the irony or satire
that is intended, and it's not lost on me. But
I don't give Barack Obama credit for anything, nor will
I now.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
I do attribute his errors. His arrogance is evil. I
believe the man has committed crimes, serious crimes. I believe that.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
I don't care if his wife has a wiener or not.
People focus on those sorts of things. I guess that's
another thing that and add to what they don't like
about him.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
He's a bad human being.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
And somewhere along the way, in the course of the
life of our republic, this free people. And by the way,
one of the great joys is that in twenty twenty six,
during the middle of Donald Trump's presidency, will be the
two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of our people being free.
(10:27):
We didn't have a constitution yet, but we were free.
We were independent.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
We were our own, our own.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Civilization, our own community, our own In the Max Weber
since nation, it wasn't just that we shared a language
or tract of land.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
It was that there was a spirit. You know.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Bono had one of the deepest things I've ever heard
said about the United States, and I don't care much
for his politics, but he makes I think a brilliant point.
I mean, he's a songwriter, he's a man who expresses
ideas in words beautifully, and I love this particular phrasing
(11:08):
and concept by him.
Speaker 7 (11:10):
It's not a right left issue, it's a right wrong issue.
And America has constantly been on the side of what's
right because when it comes down to it, this is
about keeping faith with the idea of America, because America
is an idea, isn't it. I mean, Ireland is a
great country, but it's not an idea. Great Britain is
(11:34):
a great country, it's not an idea.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
That's how we see you around the world.
Speaker 7 (11:40):
That's one of the greatest ideas in human history, right
up there with the Renaissance, right up there with crop
rotation on the Beatles' White Album. The idea, the American idea,
it's an idea. The idea is that you and me
are created equal. It will ensure that an I can
recession need not become an equality recession. The idea that
(12:04):
life is not meant to be endured but enjoyed. The
idea that if we have dignity, if we have justice.
Then leave it to us. We'll do the rest. This
country was the first to claw its way out of
darkness and put that on paper, and God love you
for it. Because these aren't just American ideas anymore. There's
(12:25):
no copyright on them. You brought them into the world.
It's a wide world now. I know. Americans say they've
a bit of the world in them, and you do.
The family tree has lots of branches. But the thing is,
the world has a bit of America in it too.
These truths, your truths, they're self evident in us.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
We're the only nation born of an idea. When does
Germany start? When does France start? You know, you study
the civilization of the Gauls or what we now call Germany,
and you bring together these pieces. You know, Italy was.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
The Neapolitans and the Sicilians and the Tuscans and the Genuines,
and you bring them together under a flag and you
call them nation, and you muster an army. But at
the end of the day, it's not on the basis
(13:33):
of an idea. It's typically by brute force. It's typically
by brute force. And the beauty of July fourth, seventeen
seventy six. Is that was the moment that in a
rented room on Main Street in Philadelphia, Jefferson presents the
final draft of a document outlining as a people who
(13:54):
and what we are? I mean, I can't begin to
tell you how moving I find this to be. I realized,
these are the things that you learned in Civics when
you really just wanted to get with Susie behind the building.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
But it really is deep. It's so profoundly deep.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
In a religious, spiritual way when you consider whether you
were born here or you came here, that there's nowhere
on earth that people want to be more than here
the entire world, like ants to the honey, ants to
the sugar, want to get here because it's freedom, it's opportunity.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Now, many of them don't understand.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
How you get that freedom, how you maintain that freedom,
how you maintain that opportunity, because they come from cultures
that didn't have that, So they want to institute all
that they know, which would actually destroy that freedom and opportunity.
But God bless America that we live in this place.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
A form decision. So you're giving them the inso, Michael.
Speaker 6 (14:56):
Arry, because you're a public Paul Revere in The Morning
rare moment.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Of introspection.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
By Joe Scarborough, an MSNBC who does Morning Joe with
his mistress, Mika Brazinski, whose father.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Was a horrible, horrible government.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Figure in the Carter administration. Joe Scarborough has a disturbing
past as a congressman. Just look it up, and he
was once a Republican. He was once an aspiring, very
ambitious Republican and he.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Well, just go look it up.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
So like many of these people, he's he's found that
as a former Republican, as a former supposed.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Conservative, he never was.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
That when you get cast out of your own house,
you're worthwhile to the opposition. Then they can parade you around.
This is what bo Bergdahl thought would happen. He would
defect from the United States and enjoin ISIS or the
the one of those groups, and you know, he would
be put into a position of leadership because he's a
(16:07):
white American. Instead, it turned out quite differently for him.
But Joe Scarborough, there's a moment here where he's a
little more introspective. And the guy who blames Trump for everything,
you know, he once admired Trump.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
I think he still does. He's got a problem. I
think he's a woman still does too. But he's admitting
to something.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
This is the moment where you realize you were right
all along, He says, Democrats made a mistake allowing men
to play women's sports. This is part of the culture
war that Trump understands. This is how you win back women.
Protect women, not their ability to have unprotected sex with
(16:50):
random men, and then kill the baby.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Protect little girls.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
On the playing field from having from being bashed by boys.
I think Megan Kelly's done a great job advancing this agenda.
But here is MSNBC's Morning Joe making that point, which
is rare for him to make a good point.
Speaker 8 (17:08):
The Washington Post Matt Bye writes, some part I do
think the prosecutions fed a narrative of Trump as a victim.
I also think Democrats dug themselves into a hole on
cultural issues and identity politics. Trump's vicious transgender ad in
the closing weeks, She's for they them, He's for you
was probably the most effective of the cycle. I think
(17:30):
that probably landed with a lot of traditionally Democratic voters
who feel like the party is consumed for the cultural
issues while the economic issues don't really change. I think
people needed a reason to feel good and hopeful about
voting for her, and absent that, a lot of frustrated
voters apparently decided to go with the guy who wants
(17:51):
to burn it all down.
Speaker 9 (17:53):
Let's dig a little never because you have that stacked
on top of what happened on college cab This is
this fall stacked on top of what's been happening on
college campuses over the past four or five years. I
have said this on the air, and every time I've
said it, people said, Oh, you're just saying that because
you're a white conservative.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
No, I'm just saying.
Speaker 9 (18:14):
It because every Democrat that we have ever sat down
with dinner with over the past five years who have
kids that go to colleges say their kids are afraid
to speak in class because they'll be canceled.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Let me say that again, and they're all Democrats.
Speaker 9 (18:29):
Everybody that we've had dinner with, if they have a
kid in college, you go, O sucks and they're hitting
beautiful day to day, wasn't it. Do you know my
daughter at University Virginia, she's afraid to raise her hands
in class because if she says something that's politically incorrect.
She will immediately be canceled, she'll be shunned from class,
should be destroyed in social media by noon. So they
(18:51):
just sit in class quiet. Now, if any of you
which cam, we give me camber to look at it.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Boom all look at that one.
Speaker 9 (18:57):
If any of you out there say, oh, that's just
like a conservative, white southern guy, da da da, that's.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Where you're losing. That's why you're losing.
Speaker 9 (19:07):
Because that's what I heard, and I didn't hear it
from Republicans. I didn't hear it from Trumper's I heard
it from Democrats over the past three or four years.
Their kids were afraided to talk in class and say
something unpopular because they would be canceled. And it's an epidemic.
Will we will tell you it happens in New York
City schools, it.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Happens in colleges. And all of this adds up to people.
Speaker 9 (19:30):
Going, come on, come on, this is crazy, and Mike
is having an impact from again the transad to yeah,
the athletics by the way, by the way, as we've
said of the show a thousand times, Democrats should be
smarter on the women's athletics saying eighty five percent of
Americans oppose men transitioning after puberty and competing against women.
(19:53):
And I'm not just saying this the day after the election.
I've been saying this for years. This is not a
hard call. You can show compassion and you can show grace,
and as the Republican governor of Utah said, let's figure
out a way to do this. But one way we
don't do this is by allowing men who transition after
puberty competing against young girls who have been working their
(20:17):
entire lives to be as good as they can be,
and then they get destroyed in the pool, on the track,
et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
And since we're on the subject, here is CNN's Sanchez.
These are over the last few days. I just haven't
had a chance to get to him. Here's CNN's Boris
Sanchez making the point that Democrats have no idea how
to connect with Latino voters. And this is true for
the same reason they're struggling to connect with white males
(20:46):
who are not college educated. That's veterans, that's welders and
painters and plumbers and electricians. They're just not connecting with
these people because they're trying to dress boys up as
girls and tell you to drink their beer, and it's
not working.
Speaker 10 (21:02):
Two years ago, Dan, during the midterms, we were sitting
here stunned at rond de Santis winning so many Latinos
in Florida and Republicans flipping seats in the Rio Grand
Valley in Texas. But this is a trend that's been
percolating for some time, in part because Donald Trump, I believe,
and speaking to a number of Republicans and Democrats, has
a unique appeal to Latino voters. Most Latino voters are
(21:22):
working class folks, and despite his crude sense of humor,
despite the jokes that he makes, despite the exaggerations about
his wealth and his exploits, for folks that are from
where I'm from and folks that I've grown up around,
that resonates more so than man, not just the strong man,
but a figure that has succeeded in capitalism, that has
(21:46):
wealth that he flaunts, versus the conversation that they hear
often from Democrats about Latin X or LATINX. I don't
know how to say it. No one where I'm from
knows how to say that word. They don't use it.
And so in conversations that I've been having with Republican
operatives today, they pointed out that a lot of it
just has to do with conversation.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
The way the conversations have helped.
Speaker 10 (22:08):
And actually I spoke with one Democrat moments ago, a
Latino operative, who said, we need to rethink the way
that we talked to folks.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Specifically, have you ever made money off of it? We
didn't get nothing the hard time the Michael Berry Show.
It's a damn shame. It's a damn shame.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Since we're on the subject of failed Republicans who then
went over and got paid by Democrats to trust to
trash Republicans. And by the way, Nicki Haley is top
of the list. Scott Jennings, who's been a breath of
fresh air on CNN. I think he'll end up. I
think he should be Donald Trump's press secretary. I think
it'd be a great one. I think you could handle
(22:47):
it quite well. He's proven that under fire. Here he
is talking about the never Trump industry. These are the
Bill Crystals and the Jonah Goldbergs, and the Rick Wilson's,
and the the folks who were once Republicans and are
now getting paid by rich Democrats to trash Trump. And
(23:09):
a Navarro was one of those. Jennifer Ruben was one
of those. Max boot was one of those, and his
wife got caught as a spy. But they're all scoundrels,
and they're hustlers, and they're grifters, and as Scott Jennings says,
and they're ineffective. Nobody's listening to them.
Speaker 11 (23:25):
This never Trump whole complex that grew over the last
several years. Nothing has ever failed as hard in politics
as this, The Lincoln Project, all these people that built
millions upon millions upon millions of dollars from Democratic donors,
and all the eggs that was put.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
In this basket. The split was amazing.
Speaker 11 (23:45):
Trump got like ninety four percent of Republicans. I don't
think they accomplished anything except probably build a bunch of
beach hous's. That's about what they did. Republicans being lectured
to condescended, to browbeaten by all these folks over the
last I mean, look at some juncture, it's okay if
we have different opinions about the election. You don't have
(24:06):
to beat people to death over it. And the more
you do that, the more it drives people away. Total failure,
and let's close the show for the week.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
You know, poles end up having a great level of
influence to the extent that people believe them. So I
follow something called pole Fair, which reviews polls to tell
you which poles are actually being paid for about people
to say things that aren't actually true. And they did
a study on polls in the battleground states for this
(24:38):
election cycle, and the number one most effective poll was
Atlas Intel. It was the only one that was over
ninety percent at eighty six percent. Was Rasmussen pretty daring
effective at seventy one percent, was Trafalgar Insider Advantage, and
Real Clear Politics. Nothing else cracked above seventy percent. Wall
(25:04):
Street Journal was at fifty percent. They got half the
polls right as to who would win and lose.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
But guess what.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
By getting half the polls right, that puts them in
the top twenty five percent because nobody else got it right.
Beacon doing their polls for Fox was only at fifty
Marist was at fifty five point thirty eight. Nate Silver
that was thought to be so good before down at
forty three percent, Quidnipiac forty percent, Susquehanna thirty three percent,
(25:37):
CNN thirty three percent, Bloomberg thirty three percent, Washington Post
thirty three percent, CBS twenty five percent. Shame on you, Sienna,
the Siena poll fourteen percent, they got one out of seven.
You're wrong almost every darn time. And so we'll close
(26:02):
the show with the words of Greg Guttfeldt on Fox,
who made the brilliant point that pollsters this season had
the accuracy of Stevie Wonder playing Jinga. And as you
think about this, just remember this. They'll start the polls
again soon, and they'll tell us that the American people
don't like Trump. They don't like the job he's doing,
(26:24):
they don't like the deportations, they don't like the closing
of the border.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
They don't like this. And just remember the polls are lies,
live by the hoaxes.
Speaker 12 (26:37):
So it's true. Kamala Harris got slacked like a hardwood
floor on this old house. And instead of an evening
concession speech, she avoided her supporters like Hunter Biden, dodging
child support.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
For the first time.
Speaker 12 (26:52):
She wasn't laughing, although you got to admit this is
pretty hilarious.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Watch.
Speaker 7 (26:57):
Are there any places where Kamala Harris overperformed from where
Biden did?
Speaker 2 (27:02):
So we could show you that as well.
Speaker 7 (27:03):
We just bring that out here, Harris overperforming twenty twenty.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Holy smokes, there you go talk. So let us go away.
A feet's anything from the east side.
Speaker 10 (27:11):
There literally nothing, literally not one country by street for
central North at.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
It that way.
Speaker 12 (27:19):
This is called a mandate. He won the popular vote
by over five million. That can't be explained away. The
Dems can't give their usual excuses with more butt butt
butts than a Kardashian family reunion, And so there will
be changes. Shoplifters may actually have to pay for stuff,
migrant gangs might have to get a new realtor, and
(27:41):
Jimmy Kimmel will probably be institutionalized.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
But there's a larger question.
Speaker 12 (27:47):
Did Trump do this by the strength of his personality alone?
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Or has America changed? And Trump's just the first to
call it like it is. I mean he did that.
Speaker 12 (27:56):
With the media, the same collection of hacks who told
his fairy tales about how close this this was all
going to be, and how abortion would send the evil
Orange Man packing, and how the polls were.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Going to be honest this time.
Speaker 12 (28:08):
Turns out they had the accuracy of Stevie.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Wonder playing Jenga.
Speaker 12 (28:11):
The truth is.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
So cheap. The truth is Musk and.
Speaker 12 (28:22):
Joe Rogan and a few other podcasts did more to
get the word out on this election than all the
legacy media combined.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
It's amazing. Tells you one thing. Legacy media is dead.
It is. I only hope.
Speaker 12 (28:37):
I only hope that if Brian Stelter jumps from a window,
it's from the first floor, so we won't crush dozens
of pedestrians. But there's another group that's over too. It's Hollywood.
All the virtue signaling from the anistons and the cloonies,
it didn't mean a thing. All that botox must have
paralyzed their brains into believing it matters what they think. Sorry, sorry, douchebags,
(29:05):
you're just hairless circus bears here to entertain us. The
other message, identity politics is dead. Deida.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Enough with.
Speaker 12 (29:19):
Enough of dividing Americans into absurd categories that only matter
to self obsessed people with more pronouns than friends. The
truth is Americans of all stripes want the same things. Prosperity, safety,
a president who doesn't smell like an outhouse. It's why
Trump won record numbers of Hispanics and Black voters, but
(29:40):
he also won a whole bunch.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Of different people. What else could appeal to both black
men in Amish voters.
Speaker 12 (29:47):
Well, that list is Trump and common sense.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
And fat asses.
Speaker 12 (29:55):
But perhaps the biggest unsung hero Kamala Harris. She secret weapon,
proving that you cannot win by identity alone. You need ideas,
a vision of a better life brains.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
You can't just tell us how deplorable.
Speaker 12 (30:09):
We are, laughed like a lunatic, and then rush home
to make sure Doug's not tapping the nanny again like
a keg abud light. Because whether you like Trump's policies
or not, at least he had some.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
So will the media learn anything from this?
Speaker 12 (30:26):
Will the Dems course not expect to be told how
sexist and racist you are for the next four years.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
But it won't work because.
Speaker 12 (30:33):
By now our collective skin is tougher than a two
dollars steak. After all, the opposition called trumpet.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Fascist and a Nazi.
Speaker 12 (30:40):
They shot him, They told us he was a threat
to democracy.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
The coastal elite and the.
Speaker 12 (30:44):
Obamas, Clinton's and Biden's told us no decent person would
vote for him, and yet he caused a.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Landslide bigger than the cast of the view on a
snowboarding trip.
Speaker 12 (30:56):
That's why last night's reckoning signals something bigger even than Trump.
You could see it in the faces of those who
voted for him and those who didn't.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
The American people.
Speaker 12 (31:07):
Went from wanting to deciding, and that decision is now
reflected in the calm that you sense right now.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
We may not get this country back on its
Speaker 12 (31:14):
Feet tomorrow, but we're well on our way.
