Andrew Clavin’s Sleepy and Maleficent episode frames Biden’s projected victory as a "Disney villain" presidency, warning of leftist overreach—from Chicago’s polling-place gunfire fantasies to Philadelphia’s secret vote-counting—while mocking media collusion (NYT, CBS) pushing the 1619 Project. He ties Democratic losses in California (Prop 15, Prop 22) to voter rejection of socialist policies and AOC’s radical rhetoric, arguing her influence stems from media echo chambers, not public support. Foreign policy fears include Biden rejoining the WHO, Paris Accord, and Iran deal, while COVID mandates and border reopening loom. Clavin urges conservatives to resist despair, invest in gold (AcreGold), and rally via Daily Wire—positioning resistance as a long-term cultural battle against institutional decay. [Automatically generated summary]
Democrats are shocked and also appalled that Republicans will not accept Joe Biden's defeat of the illegitimate president who illegally cheated Hillary Clinton out of a rightful victory by his conspiracy with Vladimir Putin, to put an ad on Facebook.
The Democrats are demanding that the racist, fascist, sexist, homophobic, stinkpot dung-faced Republicans embrace the new spirit of unity that has arisen since Biden toppled the filthy Hitlerian dictator foisted on America by deplorable traders whose names should be recorded to ensure they're never able to show their faces in public.
In that same spirit of goodwill, the Democrats are now seeking to allay Republican suspicions of electoral fraud with a sweeping program of reforms that will guarantee no one ever questions their victories ever again.
Since we have a glorious federal system where each individual state is free to choose its own way of doing whatever Democrats tell them to do, the new reforms will be applied locally until the entire voting process is so transparent you can't even see it taking place.
For instance, one suggested reform in Chicago is that local gang members be enlisted to keep order at polling places by driving by them at intervals and in a helpful, polite way, spraying them with gunfire.
Anyone who survives will then be able to freely cast their vote in whatever way the gang members tell them to.
In Philadelphia, the voters will place their vote in an adorable receptacle shaped like a Minuteman.
And when the Minuteman is filled, it'll be demolished and used for landfill while votes are counted in a secret location with tinfoil taped over the windows.
In Detroit, voters will be bussed to voting places, with Democrats boarding a bus marked with a D and Republicans boarding a bus marked with a sign saying, next stop Tallahassee.
With these and other reforms, Democrats hope to remove any doubts Republicans might have, and those doubts that remain are sure to be removed once they are put on Twitter.
Trigger warning, I'm Andrew Clavin, and this is the Andrew Clavin Show.
I'm the hunky-dunky.
Life is tickety-boom.
Birds are winging, also singing, hunky-dunkity-dooms.
Ship-shaped hipsy-topsy, the world is a bitty-zing.
It's a wonderful day.
Hoorah, hooray!
It makes me want to sing.
Oh, hoorah, hooray.
Oh, hooray, hoorah.
The vast right-wing conspiracy known as Clavinon continues right before your very eyes.
We're not even trying to hide it.
We're just right out there conspiring.
In fact, if you want to see us conspire more, you can go on YouTube and subscribe to the Andrew Clavin channel.
A lot of people are complaining that YouTube was shut down yesterday.
That's because they're just trying to stop the Andrew Clavin channel from growing at the exponential rate it would be growing if you would just go on there and subscribe and hit the bell, the little bell, and we'll deliver fresh content, sometimes original content, to your door.
We will send our factotums to come to your house.
You want to check the silverware after they leave, but you will have the new content.
Also, leave a comment, and if the comment is sufficiently ignorant and bigoted, we will include it as just an indistinguishable part of our commentary.
Today we have from Chris Ritchie, he asks the question, aren't we supposed to consult a doctor if an election lasts this long?
I think, Chris, I think that one goes in the Hall of Fame.
We should have a plaque.
We've had one or two of them that really deserve to go on there.
That was a really good question.
All right.
The other day, I gave an interview to a lady from World Magazine, lovely lady, just absolutely charming.
And that's a Christian outlet, if you've never heard of it.
The subject was new media and what we're calling the replacement media.
And I was talking with her about the fact that I didn't mind, as I've said to you before, openly leftist media like MSNBC, and that I could respect an honest leftist like Rachel Maddow.
I think she's a person of integrity, even though I disagree with every word she says and probably every thought that goes through her mind.
And I compared that with the New York Times, which pretends to be objective when it's really leftist tripe.
And after I hung up the phone with her, I thought, that's not quite what I meant.
That's not quite what's at the heart of what bothers me.
The problem is not dishonesty, exactly.
The problem is stolen authority.
The New York Times was once a great newspaper.
It really was.
It was liberal, but it built its reputation on thoroughness and fairness.
And it's now a leftist rag, but it's using the authority that it gained when it was something better to sell its trash leftism.
The 1619 Project.
This is a kooky American-hating pamphlet material that should be handed out on street corners by loony-tune nobodies like Nicole Hannah Jones.
Instead, Hannah Jones and the paper are taken seriously because the Times is wearing the mask of authority created by an older, better generation of Times editors.
This is true of CBS, ABC, NBC, and The Washington Post, outlets that would once have covered the fact Joe Biden apparently meant to profit by doing business with the Chinese communists with the same fervor they covered Trump's, say, potential violation of the Emolumens Clause.
They're now cheapjack propagandists living off the authority of their past incarnations.
The same is true in the Academy.
It's true of Yale University.
It's not a great university anymore.
It's using the authority it gained from the days of its greatness to peddle leftist garbage to innocent young people who gain the credentials certified by a past generation of Yaleys for learning their tripe.
They're being sold by the present generation.
Even Twitter and Facebook didn't start out as leftist vehicles.
They were great ideas for helping us communicate.
It was only once they had a virtual monopoly on online communication that they stole the authority of their success and usefulness to spread lies and suppress the truth, as they're doing now.
I've made this comparison before, but it stands repeating.
Leftism is like the alien in men in black who eats out a man's interior, then wears the man's hollowed out body as a disguise.
The heroes destroy that creature eventually, and let's hope that's a spoiler alert for the future of once respectable institutions eaten out and being used as a disguise by leftism.

And I know you're thinking that who writes this copy?
They tell you how to spell get quip.
Anyone can spell get quip, but how?
Oh, how?
Please tell me how do you spell Clavin?
It's K-L-A-V-A-N.
No E's in Clavin, I just make it look this incredibly easy.
So, you know, I did an all-access last night, and that is one of my favorite things that I do.
I love doing all access.
That's where all access level subscribers can come on and ask questions directly, and we have, you know, pretty much a conversation.
They're writing in the questions, but at least I get to hear what people are thinking and what they're worried about, which I really appreciate because I get sick of the sound of my own voice.
I actually like hearing from you.
That's why I like the mailbag so much.
And, you know, I don't like to, I know we at the Daily Wire, we push for subscriptions a lot, and we have to, because that's the way we not just make a living, but it's the way we indemnify ourselves from pressure from the left.
So it's important that you guys subscribe and support us.
Then they can't touch us because we're dealing directly with you.
But the all-axis has grown exponentially since our Election Day coverage that brought in a lot of new subscribers.
And that's bringing in a lot of new voices, which I love.
And one of the things, to get to the point, one of the things that I'm hearing is that a lot of people are depressed.
They're depressed by the results of the election.
And, you know, I got to be honest, I don't blame them.
This is our new president.
This is Cut 11.
And this is even worse, our vice president, Cut 10.
Before the sun sets on her 16th birthday, she shall prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel and die.
So we're dealing with Sleepy and Maleficent.
We've got two Disney characters are going to be entering the White House if things go as they seem to be going.
So we've got President Sleepy and Vice President Maleficent.
We don't even know how long that arrangement is going to last.
And I was thinking about, you know, obviously I don't blame anybody for being depressed about that.
I was thinking back to the 1976 presidential campaign.
Gerald Ford had been basically appointed to the office of the presidency.
He got the office of the vice president after Spiro Agnew was chased out of his office.
And then Nixon resigned and Ford became president.
And Ford was a good guy.
He wasn't a bad guy.
He was just that typical face of the Republican Party, this kind of conformist, down-the-middle go-along to get along face of the Republican Party.
He was not the kind of conservative that people were crying out for after years of, you know, after feeling that basically we'd been robbed of a president, I guess I should say.
And he lost in a very tough nomination fight.
He beat Ronald Reagan, and Ronald Reagan lost.
And so that, and at that point, people had abandoned Gerald Ford because he had pardoned Richard Nixon.
And it was a tough defeat.
I mean, Ronald Reagan was kind of the hope of conservatives, just like Trump was the hope of conservatives here.
And Reagan went off with his campaign staff and he said to them, We lost, but the cause goes on.
And he quoted an old Scottish ballad, which I never forgot after that moment.
I wasn't even a Reagan supporter at the time, but I remember he quoted a Scottish ballot where a guy is wounded and he says to his men, Fight on, my men.
I am wounded, but not slain.
I'll lay me down and bleed a while, and then I'll rise and fight again.
And he said, you know, even after the Democrats win, he said, don't worry, the Democrats are going to act crazy.
They always do.
They can't help themselves.
It's built into their system, and we will have a chance to return.
And, you know, you've noticed, I'm sure, that I'm not covering a lot of the back and forth about the lawsuits and the recounts and all this stuff.
And I'm not saying that, oh, you know, maybe a miracle and it'll all be true.
And this piece of computer material that canceled all of Trump's votes and all this stuff.
But right now, it looks like, like I said, the vote looks like I expect it.
And I expect Biden to be president.
And I expect us to be depressed about that.
But, you know, the one thing I will say, and I say this all the time, you know, you got to have, this is your life.
This is your one and only life.
And rather than sitting around being downcast for the next four years, you know, you take off, you lay down and you bleed a while and then you rise to fight again.
And the way you do that is you pay attention for a little while, not to politics, but to the things you love.
All of human joy comes from love.
Everything you love gives you joy, and nothing that you don't love will give you joy.
And the more important the thing you love is, the more joy it will give you.
I love doing puzzles.
They give me a little joy.
I love my wife, that gives me a lot of joy.
I love God, that gives me fantastic, overwhelming joy.
And that's the way that works.
And so, you know, restore yourself, restore yourself, lay down and bleed a while, and then we will rise and we will fight again.
And the fact is, there is a sufficient amount of good news for us to be really hopeful.
I know the conservatives, you know, conservatives are naturally pessimistic, as I've often said.
And like that's a kind of that trait is kind of lovable in some ways because it means that we see how important our traditions and our and the context, the full context of our culture is.
And we can always see how if you pull one string, the entire suit is going to unravel.
So you always hear people say, oh, if that happens, if there's gay marriage, our entire civilization will fall apart or something like this.
And I always think like, well, you know, that's not really the way things usually work.
Eventually, civilizations fall apart, but it's usually not one screw, especially of a powerful civilization like this one.
It's usually not like one nail comes out and the whole structure comes falling down.
You can adjust and you can always fight.
And certainly it's possible that at the end of two years before we get to the midterms of the Joe Biden administration, it's possible all elections will now be called off and we'll be living in a communist dictatorship.
More likely, not so much.
That's probably not what's going to happen.
And some things are happening that I kind of approve of.
First of all, there's going to be a hand recount in Georgia.
And people are saying, well, that's not certification of the votes.
And I understand that.
But still, it's important to establish that these votes are what they are and they were counted the way they were counted.
And if there is such deep rigging that we can't settle it by a recount, it's going to take a lot more reform than you think.
Here is the Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger saying that this is something that has to be done.
He's a Republican, by the way.
This is cut 16.
We'll then move to the risk-limiting audit, or RLA.
At 1 p.m. today, I will make the official designation of which race will be the subject of the RLA.
At that time, I will designate that the ROA will be the presidential race.
With the margin being so close, it will require a full by-hand recount in each county.
This will help build confidence.
It will be an audit, a recount, and a recanvas all at once.
So, you know, he's basically saying this is the job he has to do.
He says he hasn't seen evidence of widespread fraud, but, you know, that this is still the job that he has to do.
Kelly Loeffler, there's now two runoffs in Senate races, which will decide the Republicans have locked 50, so it's now a 50-50, it's now a 50-48 split.
And this will determine whether Republicans have a majority with which to thwart radical governance from the left.
Very important.
One of these races is more hopeful than the other.
Kelly Loeffler lost, but she had a fellow Republican in the race, Doug Collins, who took 20%.
So without him, I think she has a really good chance of getting back in.
But obviously, the left is going to pour everything they've got in there, and we've got to pour everything we've got into it.
But, you know, the left, when you look at this, and this is not whistling past the graveyard, this is real stuff.
The left really took some hits.
They took some hits in California.
They poured so much money.
You know, you always think of California as the leftist of the left states.
And in some ways it is.
Some cultural ways certainly it is.
But they poured money into the unions and Democrats poured money into beating Proposition 15 that would have eliminated, they've had this Proposition 13, which keeps property taxes limited and they've been trying to get rid of it ever since it was put in place and Proposition 15 was their latest attack on it.
They lost that.
They lost Proposition 22, which was basically exempted gig workers like Uber drivers.
This was this AB5 law.
This is a terrible, terrible law that the unions want to shut down Uber and shut down all the gig economy.
And basically they would not allow.
The voters stopped some of that from happening.
They stopped the attempt to get rid of identity politics that they want to be able to bring back quotas, basically.
They want to eliminate the part of the California Constitution that forbids discrimination on the basis of race and sex.
They want to discriminate on the basis of race and sex because they think, oh, yeah, that'll be the good.
That's going to be the good bigotry.
We're going to have the good bigotry.
That went down.
And, you know, I'm not a big Karl Rove fan.
That's not a personal thing.
I'm just not always convinced by his analysis.
But he has some things that he's pointed out today.
He says that 51% of Biden's supporters voted more against Trump than for the Democratic candidate, while 79% of Trump's backers voted more for him than against Mr. Biden.
That is a very, very important stat because it confirms what we already knew, that the people who support Trump really supported him, and the people who support Biden really hated Trump.
So that Trump was the divisive figure here.
He was the thing that got people excited.
That's great.
But a lot of people were excited against him, not so great.
But nobody is sitting around thinking, oh boy, oh boy, Joe Biden is president.
Except I'm hearing from friends in England who are saying that they're just elevating him to the level of a saint, which is pretty funny.
I mean, when you talk about a plaster saint, he is a plaster saint.
He's actually a plaster figure.
You know, and Trump won 26% of non-white voters.
This is a huge deal.
Commentators on the left went crazy, says Karl Rove.
He said one described these voters as distracted.
A New York Times columnist found it personally devastating that many blacks and gays voted for the president and Maxine Waters threatened them.
And Kevin McCarthy, the minority leader in the House, the Republican, obviously, he understands where this lies.
This is cut 18.
You, the cycle, raised more money than any House Republican ever, more than any of your speaker predecessors.
What did you learn, and how did you pull this off?
Well, the best way to raise money is just let Nancy Pelosi and AOC talk.
So you bring up a relatively junior member, Congresswoman, Ocasio-Cortez.
Why do your people respond so vociferously to her?
Well, she runs the floor.
Wait, what do you mean by that?
That wing of the party, the socialist wing of the party, they are the new power of the Democratic Party.
And I love the question from the press, like he doesn't understand that they've been covering her as if she were Miss America.
I mean, the press has been covering her as if she were the big thing.
And that Nancy Pelosi, you know, who may not be able to win back, you never count Pelosi out because she's a shark, but she may not be able to win back the Speaker of the House position.
She buckled under the pressure from the left.
You know, she at first was dismissing them.
She was doing that thing, the Pelosi, that Pelosi routine where she says, oh, you know, they've got that Green New Deal or whatever you call it.
By the end of it, she was basically in their thrall and she was pushing it forward.
And after the election was over, they got onto one of those calls that they have, those mass calls where the Democrat Party was talking.
And one of the moderate Democrats just went off on Pelosi saying, you know, you almost cost me the election with your defund the police nonsense and your socialism.
She said, I never want to hear the word socialism again.
And Pelosi's response was really telling, Pelosi said, well, we held the House.
That is an amazing response given the fact that they were expecting, truly expecting, a blue wave that did not come.
They're losing seats in the House.
They lost another one the other day, yesterday.
They are not going to lose the majority, but it was the exact opposite of the result they wanted.
And the reason for that is because people did reject them at the same rate in the same way they rejected Donald Trump.
They did not like Donald Trump for his behavior.
Behavior matters.
I've been telling you about this for four years.
You know, you guys were yelling at me for talking about it, but it's a true thing.
Behavior matters, and they rejected him, but they rejected the left on their philosophy.
And that is something we can build on.
And it's important, you know, the fight goes on.
This is it.
We lie down, we bleed a while, and we go rise to fight again because that's the way politics works.
It's the way it always works.
You know, I've been talking to the Helix sleep people.
I'm hoping they'll rename their great mattresses to Helix Lying Awake All Night because some of you, who knows, some of you may want a Helix sleep mattress because it's so comfortable.
It'll help you sleep.
I don't have that problem since I never sleep, but it is so comfortable that it makes it easier to lie awake.
What Helix does is they have this quiz that takes us two minutes to complete.
It matches your body type and sleep preferences.

But you will.
Right now, Helix is offering up to $200 off all mattress orders at helixsleep.com slash Clavin.
Get up to $200 off at helixleep.com slash Clavin.
So you'll feel great as you're lying awake at night asking yourself, how do you spell Clavin?
It is K-L-A-V-A-N.
You know, the other part of this that's good news for us is that AOC is not going away.
You know, when Kevin McCarthy says the best thing we can do is campaign on, just quote them is let them speak.
They're not going anywhere.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, she said after the election, I may quit politics because people aren't nice to me.
I'm going to take my socialism and go home.
She ain't going anywhere.
Nobody gives up power like that.
And especially a woman like that, who basically is a bartender who's been elevated above her station.
You know, she's not going back out of Congress.
And the state Democratic Party chairman, Jay Jacobs, in New York, okay.
Now, this is New York.
New York is, New York is like California, that it's a liberal state only because so many people are in New York City.
A lot of conservative areas in New York, just like there are a lot of conservative areas in California.
And that accounts, by the way, for some of the results I was talking about before, that we have a lot of farmland out here.
We have a lot of regular straight arrow Americans.
It's just that we have these cities which draw people in.
These people are kind of disconnected from family.
They're disconnected from church.
They're disconnected from community.
These cities attract people like that.
Disconnected Voices00:09:39
And you get a lot of leftism.
The other thing about cities, of course, is that cities are a place where nobody takes out his own trash, you know, and nobody takes care of his own land because you don't have any land.
Things are done for you.
The city systems take care of you.
It's very disconnective.
Cities are very disconnected places.
You don't have the same kind of community.
You don't have the same kind of responsibilities.
Everything is kind of done for you.
And you just focus on work.
That's what cities are for.
They're factories for creating workers at every level.
And so you get a lot of lefties in cities.
That's the way it works because they think the government is doing great.
The government is fine.
And it doesn't occur to them that sending that power away from the city and sending it out to the federal government is a way of becoming less free.
It also is amazing.
It is just amazing when you look at San Francisco and see what a wreck it is.
When you look at San Francisco and see what a record is, the people still vote for that, the amazing amount of bad policy they will stomach to feel virtuous.
So anyway, talking about New York, Jay Jacobs, who is the state Democratic Party chairman, he also serves as the Nassau County Democratic leader.
That's where I grew up in Nassau County.
He said he's had it with AOC and other left-wingers.
He said he's had it with them lecturing Democrats who have to fight to compete and win races in purple districts in Long Island and upstate.
He says AOC has no standing on how to run a general election in the suburbs and upstate.
AOC is in a district that's six to one Democrat, and she couldn't find a Republican in her district with binoculars.
I invite AOC to come to Long Island and stand for election in one of our districts.
You will see different results.
And you know, I mean, when you have AOC calling for enemies lists against Republicans, a lot of people, you know, I know on TV, we're completely divided, but in real life, we have Republican relatives, we have Republican friends, and I have Democrat friends and Democrat relatives, and I know that they're not communists.
I know they're not sitting around with a bomb hoping anarchy comes again, that those people are the far left of their party.
And yes, the far left has made more incursions on the Democrat Party than the far right has made on the Republican Party.
But we got to understand that most people are not in these extreme categories.
So AOC, and this is also good news, AOC is calling for enemies lists, which most people, I think, are disgusted by.
I mean, that makes most Americans gorge rise.
But the press is doing it too.
And this is important.
You know, Sonny Hoston, who is one of the hosts on the View, and she's not a dope.
She's a lawyer.
She was okay with that.
She said, oh, yeah, AOC, great idea, enemies list.
Let's cut 20.
I think that Trump tear gassed peaceful protesters for a photo op.
I think that Trump ripped children from their parents.
I think that Trump called NFL players sons of bitches.
I think that for exercising their First Amendment rights.
And I think those people in his administration that not only drafted some of those policies but were complicit in those policies shouldn't be forgotten.
People like Kirsten Nielsen, people like Stephen Miller, people like Kellyanne Conway, people like Vice President Pence, who was woefully inadequate at his role of being the head of the coronavirus task force, and people like Ben Carson and Betsy DeVos.
I don't think that those people should be able to profit from their experience within the Trump administration.
And I don't think that they should be forgotten.
Those are pretty amazing statements.
You know, I mean, what would have happened if I had come out and said that anybody who was associated with Barack Obama and his use of the IRS to silence the opposition, his use of the FBI to investigate an opposition political campaign, no one, including Joe Biden, should ever be allowed to profit or make a living off this.
Barack Obama has a deal, a book deal worth $65 million.
He and Michelle have that deal.
You know, none of us, I don't think any Republicans were on the phone saying he shouldn't be allowed to do that.
I mean, I don't believe he shouldn't be able to let him make his money.
Of course, as he would say at some point, you have enough money, but suddenly that's not true anymore for him personally.
But People are looking at this.
You know, we always think because we're conservatives, because we're pessimistic, we always look at these things and we think because people are saying it, that means other people are convinced.
But one of the things this election has shown us, and this is important, one of the things it's shown us, is that people are not convinced.
They're not convinced by this at all.
And that's important.
I mean, here's another one from our friend Chris Cuomo on CNN, basically threatening Republicans.
Shame on them.
A wax museum is less cold-blooded than these people are.
And let them know they are going to lose way more than this election.
This matters.
What they're playing at now matters.
This isn't tax, don't tax.
This isn't who lies, who doesn't lie.
This is what lies at the heart of our democracy, and they know it.
Hillary Clinton, say what you want, she promptly conceded, even though she spanked him in the popular vote.
Why?
That's what our system demands.
Other Democrats swiftly came to terms with Trump's victory.
This guy's got to stop taking those steroids.
You know, I know he's a weightlifter, but you're going to lose way more than the election?
Like what?
Like what more than the election?
I mean, these are the voices that are out there, and they're not going away.
Here's Rashid Tlaib.
One of the reasons they lose, one of the reasons they lose among ordinary Americans are people like Rashid Tlaib, not just AOC, it's the whole squad is doing this to them.
And here's what she said.
This is cut one.
But I mean, I was clear that me not being able to speak on behalf of many of my neighbors right now, many of being with your black neighbors, means me being silenced.
And I can't be silent.
They didn't elect me to be quiet.
And I exist.
I'm there for a reason.
I ran on impeaching this president.
I ran on ending poverty.
I ran on fighting back against corporate polluters and overwhelmingly was elected, re-elected.
And that's, by the way, that is something I've talked about this on the right, too.
This is the illusion of being a congressperson, the illusion of being a congressperson.
This is what the Democrat in New York was saying about AOC: you're in this little district.
You're in this little place.
You're not a senator.
You're not representing an entire state.
You're representing a neighborhood.
And as we know, neighborhoods, people tend to flock together.
This is just a natural human trait.
And we live among people who are like us.
And so Rashid Tlaib thinks like, you know, I won by a landslide.
I was easily returned.
So I must be the voice of the Democrat Party.
No, you're the voice of your neighborhood.
And she's not going away because that's the neighborhood she represents.
And because people like Sonny Hostin and people like Chris Cuomo are going to elevate her voice and amplify her voice, that's the voice the other side is going to hear.
That's the voice the Republicans are going to hear.
They're going to know that these are the people who are powering the Democrat Party.
That's why, why do you think Nancy Pelosi is afraid of them?
Why do you think Nancy Pelosi is afraid of the squad?
She's smarter than them.
She's got much more experience.
She's got much more power.
She's afraid of them because they've got the backing of the press.
That is what makes Nancy Pelosi buckle to people like these squad people.
And that's the reason they have the power they have is because of the echo chamber.
But what the left, I've always said this, the left has tremendous power because of the press.
That gives them a tremendous power.
It gives them the power, for instance, for Joe Biden to try to make deals with the Chinese communists and people to actually bury that story during an election year.
That's a story that would have buried a Republican during an election year, but instead the story got buried because of this massive power of the press, the people we here at the Daily Wire and elsewhere are trying to replace.
That is why they have power.
But it's also a disadvantage.
And again, I'm not whistling past the graveyard.
It's a disadvantage to them to have that much power because it creates the illusion that the people are with them.
And you know, people have their own ideas.
People are not dumb.
You know, like another great quote from Men in Black is like, people are dumb, but a person is not dumb.
You go out into the Midwest, you go out all around this country, and you find people who say, you know, they don't sound like the press.
They don't sound like they're all on one side.
They have nuanced views.
They're listening to this stuff.
They're thinking, enemy lists, really?
Are you kidding me?
You know, I mean, Ilan Omar is spending, sending campaign contributions to her relatives, and that's okay.
You know, that's something that works in that district, in that neighborhood.
And neighborhoods are much easier to corrupt, but it doesn't work on the bigger scale.
And so we have gotten a lot of voices, a lot of voice.
We have a large voice in the community, more than we know, and it's only going to grow bigger as we fight back.
And some of these results are very, very positive.
Some not so much.
And I'll talk about that in a minute.

She's joining the Daily Wire where she'll be launching a brand new show with us early next year, a really different show kind of show for us, which I think is great.
We've got an entertainment channel coming on the way.
I hope to be a big part of that.
We've got a new investigative journalism team, which I'm so thrilled about.
That is, I've already praised Jeremy Boring, the God King, more than I ever have in his life.
And I don't want to go on because he's already impossible, but that's a tremendously smart decision.

We need you with us.
So what are some of the things I fear?
Because obviously we lost.
We lost the presidential election and that's going to be a real thing unless there's, again, it can always be a miracle.
I'm not trying to predict the future.
I'm just telling you what it looks like to me on the ground right this minute.
It looks to me like Joe Biden is going to be the next president of the United States.
It's a tough one.
I got to swallow hard when I do it too.
And there are things I fear about that.
There are things that I think are legitimately difficult to take on.
One of them, let's start with this, because it's something we don't talk about enough.
You know, America is a very insulated country.
I remember when I was traveling in Afghanistan, being stuck in one of these huge barracks where you're waiting for a transport plane to take you someplace.
It's what soldiers do most of, is wait.
And I remember watching CNN and Fox for hours because I was just stuck in this place for hours.
And it was an election year.
It was all about American election.
There's no international news.
And, you know, it's just, you know, it's just amazing.
We don't really think about it.
But the international, the powers of the president when it comes to foreign policy are huge.
That's where he has his most power.
And so that's something that we really have to think about.
I always tell the story.
I became friendly with Douglas Adams shortly before he died, the guy who wrote the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
And when he first moved to America, I said, well, how are you enjoying it here?
And he said, I like it.
But the news blackout is hard to take, meaning he never heard any news about any country other than America.
And I explained to him that this country is so big that it's when we hear when New York hears from Oregon, that's like hearing from another country.
Anyway, here is one of an uncannily dishonest report, an uncannily dishonest report from NBC News Richard Engel.
This is the kind of report that actually bothers me more than their open stupidity, the open stupidity we get from the press, because it's subtle and it's the kind of thing a lot of people might not notice if they don't really realize how stories are constructed.
So here's Richard Engel reporting on the foreign reaction to Joe Biden's election on NBC.
An incredibly dishonest report.
Congratulations have poured in for President-elect Biden.
That's normal.
What's not is the sense of relief that America-first isolationism is over.
The mayor of Paris tweeted, Welcome back, America.
When President Trump was elected, a German magazine showed him decapitating the Statue of Liberty.
In the new edition, President-elect Biden is restoring it.
So what will actually change?
Engagement is back.
Biden says he'll refund the WHO, rejoin the Paris Climate Accord, recommit to NATO, and then revive the Iran deal.
Who potentially loses?
Israel is nervous.
President Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
Palestinians felt ignored and refused to deal with Washington.
Now they hope Biden will re-engage.
Also nervous?
The UK's Boris Johnson, a champion of leaving the European Union, who Biden has called a Trump clone.
So that was not a report from Europe.
That was a report from the European left.
That's what it was.
He was quoting, he says, a German magazine as if the magazine represented Germany.
It's Derspiegel.
It's a left-wing magazine.
He also talks about the mayor of Paris, another left-wing voice.
He talked about rejoining the Paris Accord on the same breath as rejoining the Iran deal, which was one of the most unbalanced, foolish moves of the Obama administration.
Obama bet the farm on the Iran deal.
And I guess, you know, Biden is now piling cash onto little pallets so he can drop some more money into the hands of the terrorist mullahs who run that country.
That is a genuine disaster.
Elevating the PLO's opinion to the level of Israel is absurd.
Israel is a sovereign, not just a sovereign state, it is also a free state.
The PLO is a terrorist organization.
Unbelievably a dishonest report.
And if any of that is true, if he is, I don't care if he joins the Paris Accord.
The Paris Accord means nothing.
It'll cause some legal problems.
rejoining who the WHO is stupid in the extreme, but the kind of typical Democrat thing.
Rejoining the Iran deal is a really bad thing.
That is something that's really bad.
If he upsets the Middle East peace deals that Trump put in place, he's a buffoon.
I don't think he will.
I'm not sure Biden will do that.
I'm not convinced, but I'm worried about it.
So those are a lot of things to worry about on the foreign policy scale.
Obviously, the overreaction, the COVID nuttiness, the Chinese flu nuttiness, the overreaction to it.
Here is Biden beating this one drum he's been on, Cut 21.
For the foreseeable future, a mask remains the most potent weapon against the virus.
We could save tens of thousands of lives if everyone would just wear a mask for the next few months.
A mask is not a political statement.
Now, I want to be clear about this because I have said this before, but it's important to say I'm not against masks per se in closed spaces.
I think that when you go into a store and there are a lot of people around, it can be helpful.
This is the flu season, and this is a very bad flu.
There's a very bad version of the flu, and this is flu season.
It's spiking.
It's very serious.
A lot of the reporting on it is dishonest, but we can expect in November, December for a flu to get worse before the vaccine gets out there, the Trump vaccine, as we'll call it, the Trump scene, we'll call it, before that gets out there.
And so I'm not totally against masks.
What I'm against is mandates.
I'm against mandates.
And, you know, really, I think an American should be free to choose between living like Trump.
And I say this as a guy who's probably vulnerable to the flu.
I think that saving the Clavin should be the first policy, not just of America, but really, I mean, isn't that something the whole world can agree on?
Save the Clavin?
Isn't that something we should all be thinking about and all doing?
You know, so it's not like I'm saying this cavalierly, but I do think, you know, if this is the last week of my life, I want to live it more like Donald Trump, who got the flu, tore off the mask, spit in the eye of death, and walked forward.
That's an American way to live.
Instead of Joe Biden, where you just saw the top of his head from his basement window hiding away.
You know, it's the difference between a choice.
It's a choice.
It's a way you choose to live.
And is there a price for it?
There is a price you pay for every choice you make.
There's a price you pay for living like Joe Biden in fear, and there's a price you pay for living like Donald Trump with boldness.
You know, that's the thing.
And what I want is I want to be able to make that choice.
And I cannot stand the guys that he's appointing, that Biden has appointed to this COVID task force of his that he's so proud of, something that I hope will be useless.
One of the reasons they're going to get hysterical about the Chinese flu for a couple of weeks is because it's probably almost over, so they want to milk it for everything they've got because this Trump scene is on its way.
This guy is Zeke Emmanuel, who is Rahm Emmanuel's brother, who is one of the 10 advisory board members.
He said this.
He's one of the guys who, an architect of the Affordable Care Act, which is absolutely awful.
And he wants to follow, in distributing the vaccine, he wants to follow the fair priority model, which calls for a fair international distribution of vaccine, rather than what he and his co-authors characterized as vaccine nationalism.
In other words, he wants other people, people in other countries, to get the vaccine, an American vaccine before Americans get them.
You know, listen, I am completely against all kinds of violence, political violence.
But if he should be tarred and feathered for saying that, you know, I would kind of say, gee, that's too bad.
I mean, that's an amazing, I'm joking, but still, that's an amazing, amazing and stupid statement, and hopefully people will react to it the way.
But this is the same guy who wrote a piece in the Atlantic about how he wanted to die at 75.
This is Zeke Maus, same guy.
He wrote, doubtless, I love this.
Doubtless death is a loss, he says, with his extreme genius.
Doubtless death is a loss.
It deprives us of experiences and milestones, of times spent, I can't believe I'm reading these sentences, of time spent with our spouse and children.
In short, it deprives us of all the things we value.
It also kills us.
That's one of the things about death.
But here, he says, is a simple truth that many of us seem to resist.
Living too long is also a loss.
It renders many of us, if not disabled, then faltering and declining a state that may not be worse than death, but is nonetheless deprived.
Obviously, the logic here is ridiculous because death is not a loss.
Death is the cancellation of your life.
So you are not experiencing loss.
You do not experience the fact that you're parted from your children.
You do not experience any of that stuff.
You are simply snuffed out until the last Trump blows, which probably will be Trump blowing the last Trump.
That's probably his next appointment.
But still, death is not a loss.
You lose things as you get older.
And that's part of the experience of getting older.
And it can be an experience of wisdom.
It can be an experience that teaches young people compassion.
It can be an experience that teaches young people to care for the people who cared for them when they were little.
It can be an enriching experience of life.
It's part of life.
And the fact that he wants to cancel that at 75 for himself should make Joe Biden very nervous.
Joe Biden's going to spend his presidency looking over his shoulder because he always knows that standing behind him is this woman.
What was that?
It was cut 10 again.
Before the sun sets on her 16th birthday, she shall prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel and die.
That's sleepy and maleficent.
So any minute, sleepy's got to be careful with Zeke Emmanuel behind him.
You know, and it's, I don't know, it's just kind of the soil and green scenario.
Another thing I worry about is immigration policy.
I think that Trump bobbled in immigration policy during the midterms when he overplayed his hand on that, thinking that it would help him win the midterm, going back to the old playbook of build the wall, build the wall.
I don't think he built enough of the wall.
I don't think that he changed the law.
This is the thing about immigration policy that drives me nuts.
If we have an idea of what should be happening, right, pass a law.
This is what legislators are supposed to do.
This is why we call them legislators.
Pass a law.
So I worry that Biden is just going to open the floodgates again and let people come streaming in.
It means more crime.
It means more illegality.
It means more deception.
That's something I truly worry about.
So there are things to worry about, and I understand it.
I understand that we, you know, this is not a moment when we're sitting around with party hats and blowing noisemakers.
Many people are looking to these challenges with hope.
But I'm looking with hope to the fact that the fight goes on, and I know we can win it.
I know the people are there to win it.
Things that have been damaged in this country.
And they've been damaged by a lot of things, but I think mostly they've been damaged by the empire of lies.
Mostly they've been damaged by the academy, the press, and the entertainment industry.
It's community.
It's community.
It's the fact that we should be living responsible to one another.
It's the fact that we should be living as individuals, but in community with one another.
Real community, not Facebook, but real community.
And those things can come back.
Those are things you can rebuild.
Those are things that have been severely damaged over the last, I don't know, let's call it 20 years.
It's more than that.
I think it's probably 50 years.
They have been severely damaged, but we can build those things again.
Those communities are where freedom is generated from, right?
We generate freedom when we have families that take care of themselves.
We generate freedom when we have communities that pay attention to themselves, that help their needy, that help their dysfunctional, that don't have to turn to the government for everything.
This is another thing that cities do is they break up communities.
Those things can be built again.
And I'm not completely pessimistic about this.
I think that we've got a 50-50 shot at rebuilding a kind of country where freedom can thrive.
And I think that this is the fight.
This is the fight we're in.
We will lay us down to bleed a while and then rise to fight again.
That's for all of us.
And I'm not, I wouldn't be pessimistic except for one thing, the Clavenless weekend is upon us.
And once that happens, there's really no returning from that.
I think there's wailing, gnashing of teeth.
You're cast out into the exterior darkness.
Very few of you will survive.
But those of you who do survive can come back and find me here on Monday.
I will be here.
I hope you will be here as well on the Andrew Clavin Show.

Joe Biden's COVID advisor wants us all to lock down for just four to six weeks to revive America.
This whole 241 days after we were told 15 days to slow the spread.
We're getting a recount in Georgia.
We're getting more ballots being counted in Arizona.
And America's worst enemies around the world are parroting Democrat talking points.
