	Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters episode 1037.
	On today, the 7th of November 2024, we're back to business as usual.
	The first podcast following the victory of Donald Trump at this election.
	And I'm joined today by Stelios and Beau.
	Both of whom are exhausted.
	Everybody's exhausted.
	The entire office is basically an overnight sleepover.
	Still going up to right now.
	Everybody's very, very sleepy.
	Got their pillows, got their favorite blankets and all of their teddy bears.
	And today we're going to be talking about the completely sane and reasonable reactions to Trump's victory, going to be talking about why it was that the Democrats lost, and then we're going to end up with where the Democrats go next.
	There's not as much to talk about with Trump as it stands right now, if only because of the fact that, well, we've got a few months to see how events play out, and then we've got January when he's going to be ushered in.
	So we'll see how it all goes until then.
	Reminder to everybody as well that actually Common Sense Crusade will be happening today as normal, scheduled at 3pm.
	So if you've got a subscription to the website, which you should do, please tune in to that.
	Anything else we'd like to say before we start, folks?
	It's going to be a good podcast.
	Thank you.
	Yes.
	Set it up.
	Set us up to fail.
	Positive mental attitude.
	Positive mental attitude.
	People can buy some merch as always.
	Yes, yes they can.
	And on that I'll get straight into the news.
	So the Democratic tears are overflowing, the meltdowns are everywhere, people are crying, the salt mines are in business.
	Right now.
	So I thought it'd be, frankly, really easy to talk about this for the first segment of today.
	And before I do, I'll let you all know that because of Trump's success, we've decided that we're going to carry on selling the Trump-specific merch on the website for the foreseeable future.
	So that's available still on the website.
	It is still a limited run.
	It will end eventually.
	But just for you, because we know how good you are and how good we're all feeling right now, we've decided to carry it on.
	So please go on the website and pick yourself up a shirt, pick yourself up a mug, pick yourself up a poster.
	And let's go to the reactions to Donald Trump.
	So I think the best one that I saw, the best picture to really summarise the feelings that have been around since Trump won, is this.
	Now this was on the night, and I've started off with a lot of reactions that were going on on the night, and people have already started to come up with some great memes here.
	It won't let me click.
	There we go.
	There's a...
	Cenk commanding the Power Rangers.
	That's not one that I was expecting to see.
	So Cenk Yuga was very, very upset with it, and this was the same reaction as a lot of people on the night as it became very, very clear, clearer and clearer, that it was not going well for Kamala.
	And to be fair to Cenk...
	Connor posted this big clip of it, and if I start playing it...
	Well, brothers and sisters, nobody said life was fair.
	I'm gonna mute it, and then what I'm gonna do, because all Cenk footage should be shown at double speed, is we can see his wild gesticulations.
	There you go.
	So, Cenk was actually quite sensible with his reaction here, I'll say.
	Obviously, he does it in Cenk style, but he says that it's the fault of the Democrats for running a really, really terrible campaign and giving in to the whims of their donors who wanted them to...
	Well, maybe it wasn't that sensible.
	It was typical Young Turks stuff where he's talking about how they all wanted to give in to big corporations and give in to donors' needs, etc, etc.
	But...
	I'm sorry.
	He's a very entertaining man.
	But at the very least, he wasn't screeching about fascism, at least not in this clip that Connor posted, and he wasn't screeching about how this was the end of America.
	He was basically saying, the Dems sucked this time, they need to do better, which is absolutely true.
	I think he's in the presence of Anna, who is lately having a lot of moments of epiphany.
	Yeah, she's probably being courted by The Blaze or The Daily Wire right now.
	So he's trying to toe the line a little bit.
	I'm gonna stop that right now.
	I have another favorite one.
	It was in a car.
	People will see it.
	I'm sure.
	Oh yeah, we'll get to that.
	We'll get to that.
	So there was claims from Joy Reid, among others.
	Just last thing on Cenk.
	Oh yes, yeah.
	Hasn't he lost all credibility by this point?
	Do you think so?
	Because I think, I don't actually know, I haven't looked, but I think the Young Turks still have a fairly big viewership and stuff, don't they?
	I just wonder who they are.
	I guess they're just out-and-out, Bernie-bro type, always Democrat, always subversive, lefty, weirdo, traitor types.
	Who else?
	Other than people that hate watch him.
	Who's really...
	I don't really keep up with the Young Turks, except for actual Justice Warrior, who made an appearance on the stream, and you can go back and watch the full stream if you're interested.
	It's available on the website.
	Sean went on TYT. No, he went on Utz.
	Oh, right.
	Oh, right.
	I think he's spoken to Anna in the past.
	Has he?
	I believe so.
	I might be getting that wrong.
	But he does lots of videos looking at the young text.
	Yeah, no.
	Loads, right?
	Yeah, he does loads.
	That's his thing.
	That's mostly where I see their content, is watching his breakdowns.
	He does do very good breakdowns of their content.
	I haven't watched him in a while because he was doing so much.
	I was like...
	There's only so much blood you can draw from this stone, Sean.
	I'm deliberately not watching TYT and now Sean is...
	You're making me watch...
	He's stealth feeding you their content.
	But, you know, you got the typical MSNBC reaction where Joy Reid said this about Florida.
	It's a pure Project 2025 in miniature in Florida and that kind of extreme sort of extremist right-wing fascist type government in Florida, does that make it a more attractive place?
	That dude's way off the mark.
	I know, how could this man say that?
	It's terrible.
	Yeah, obviously ridiculous, typical name-calling, but completely ineffective.
	This was as the polls were coming in, and as you can see down here, ooh, that banner.
	That didn't age well.
	That really didn't age well.
	And there was this one as well, which went viral, which was Boogie 2...
	Is Boogie still with us?
	Shockingly, yes.
	And he's still doing this.
	I can't believe Trump's actually gonna win this fucking day!
	I'm Jesus Christ!
	I'm so pissed off!
	Fuck!
	Fuck!
	Please, I've just had lunch.
	Please.
	Apologies for all of our viewers out there who are eating.
	That was a solid 9 out of 10.
	9 out of 10 on what scale?
	For what reason?
	Meltdown scale.
	Yeah, the problem is, though, as people pointed out, that his shirt was already cut like Hulk Hogan's.
	So he knew that this was going to happen.
	He was wearing a white dudes for Harrah shirt.
	So I think it's important to point out...
	Was that a joke?
	Was that all a joke and he's actually...
	It was being shared about like it was serious, but I can only imagine that it's either a joke or he knew that Harris wasn't going to win and so it was prepared ahead of time to get viral because a lot of the reactions to it, a lot of the leftist meltdowns this time feel really, really artificial.
	Because I don't watch Boogie, never really have.
	I'm aware of who he is and seen him around, but never actually watched his content.
	I don't know if he's actually, that's purely comedy, or whether he actually is a wap for Harris.
	I don't know either.
	Or what, I don't know.
	I wouldn't be surprised if he is, but did anybody really expect Harris to win?
	Other than Rory Stewart.
	Rory Stewart did, yeah.
	Other than Rory Stewart and the Labour establishment, which we'll get onto as we go on.
	So, Vorsch was very, very furious at his chat.
	Oh, has he lost some weight?
	It appears so.
	It appears so.
	But this was kind of the attitude of a lot of the breadtuber leftist streamers as the election was going on and as it was going not very well.
	It turns out Muslim voters actually voted for Trump.
	And you are basing this off of this.
	A single tweet.
	Election Day vote in a Dearborn precinct.
	Trump, Stein, Harris.
	This is all it takes for you?
	That's it.
	That's all it takes?
	A single tweet?
	Numbers and names?
	That's it?
	One vote in one precinct and some numbers and names?
	Get a hold of yourself!
	Talk about projection.
	Tough guy Vorsch right there, letting his audience know who's boss.
	So scary.
	Really scary.
	Does anybody remember Brianna Wu?
	Sad to remind everybody of her.
	Yeah, unfortunately.
	Brianna Wu said, watching these results coming in and thinking about taking up meth, not the only leftist to think about doing that online, I would assume, as the results were rolling in.
	Destiny had probably the best one, though, because he was watching...
	So how would taking up meth help?
	I've never done meth, but I understand it makes you more hyper, right?
	You're even more anxious and hyper.
	Does she mean heroin?
	Just take the pain away.
	Anything to take the pain away.
	Because living under Donald Trump, Brianna Wu, of course, who is transgender, Donald Trump and Project 25, in Brianna Wu's mind, is probably going to come, track him down, and put his penis back on?
	I mean, what's the plan here, guys?
	What are you going to do?
	I'm too anxious.
	I'm too uptight.
	I best take some PCP. That will help.
	Cocaine might help as well.
	This is not medical advice.
	Please do not do that, audience members.
	If you're feeling anxious, nervous, don't do PCP, cocaine, methamphetamine, anything like that.
	Not advisable.
	So Destiny, while it was all going on, was watching the live county results in certain states and watching them roll in, and this was when he was looking at Pennsylvania and noticed that there were a few counties in Pennsylvania that seemingly hadn't had the results counted yet or weren't counting them for whatever reason.
	He was very upset at this.
	He was very, very upset at this.
	I mean, they're still outstanding!
	Are they not counting them here?
	What's going on, Vadim?
	Why isn't Philadelphia counting votes?
	Call them up.
	Call them.
	Do we have contact?
	Hello.
	If you're watching the stream right now and you work in Philadelphia, we'll put you on stream.
	I'll call you.
	I want to know what the fuck.
	What is going on?
	What the hell is going on right now?
	Simmer down, dude.
	Send me pictures.
	I know you're out there.
	I know somebody's listening.
	Well, obviously he's going to get angry, of course he's going to be nervous, of course he's going to melt down, because democracy was on the ballot.
	It was on the line.
	And democracy lost.
	Donald Trump, he's going to get the fascis up, he's going to get the brown shirts and the black shirts out, they're going to be marching on the way to the Capitol building right as we speak.
	My favourite post I saw regarding all of this was kind of an inversion of that whole democracy's on the line, which was a random and non-account on Twitter posting saying that, um, saying that, uh, remember guys, fascism is on the line this time.
	It's desperate stuff, isn't it?
	It's really desperate stuff.
	No, I think that was a joke.
	That one was a joke.
	Saying, come on guys, we want fascism, so we're going to have to vote for fascism.
	If you want fascism, guys, you're going to have to get up and vote for fascism.
	We've got to do it, alright?
	That's a 4 out of 10.
	I want a better one.
	You want a better one?
	We'll get to the better ones, Stelios.
	You need to be patient.
	You need to ramp up to these things.
	Mark Hamill was furious, scared, seething, wetting himself.
	Many people are thinking of leaving America.
	One of my other favorite things about this was, you know Robert O'Neill, the guy who was involved in killing Obama?
	No.
	Not Obama.
	Osama.
	Yeah.
	What now?
	Well, it's a Special Forces guy.
	Special Forces guy.
	He's on Twitter.
	He's a Trump supporter.
	He made the most cringies.
	No, he made the best.
	It wasn't an accident.
	He meant this all right.
	So there's a group of Gen Z twinks, like Harry Sisson and the rest of them, who post on social media all about how they're going to vote for Kamala Harris, how they were going to get Waltz in, how much they supported the Democrat cause, etc., etc., And they post on social media about hanging out.
	We're on the way to the polls.
	We're going to go vote right now.
	Robert O'Neill, who helped kill Osama bin Laden, responded to them with this.
	You're not men.
	You're boys.
	If there was no social media, you'd be my concubines.
	LAUGHTER Which was an interesting statement to make.
	They do all look like children.
	Are they actual children?
	Yeah they are and they think that the faster they speak the more intelligent they sound.
	They're old enough to vote though.
	They're old enough to vote.
	Yes, they're like Destiny fans, I assume.
	His wiki page was immediately updated after this came out on 3rd November.
	He publicly announced his homosexuality by declaring his desire to make five young men his concubines.
	I was going to say that, but I don't want to make a personal enemy of an ex Special Forces deed, but that is a bit of an odd thing to say.
	Happily!
	He could have phrased it slightly differently and not come across...
	I think he meant what he said.
	He has decided to play into it.
	He's leaning into it now.
	He's saving a lot.
	People have been saying, Harry Sisson and Associated Twinks will now be handed over to Robert O'Neill.
	So he's posted to declare that they have been delivered.
	They have been delivered.
	They're in his basement.
	They're crying their eyes out right now.
	So we are finally owning the libs, literally, in this case.
	Anything he realises five's just not enough.
	This is only the start of a new addiction.
	The leftists have got onto meth, crack cocaine, other drugs.
	The rightists, they've got their twink concubines now.
	They've got the haram of little twinks.
	You're not a real man until you've got a twink harem of your own.
	The bigger the better.
	Dozens, ideally.
	A dozen.
	You need an empire of twinks.
	Good.
	Clip it.
	Do it.
	Go on.
	Lotus Ease is out of context.
	You can have all the free ammunition you want here.
	The new era has begun.
	AOC was screeching about fascism, authoritarianism.
	I say screeching.
	We are about to enter a political period that will have consequences for the rest of our lives.
	That's all of history.
	We cannot give up.
	We now find ourselves...
	In a time in history that has precedent and we find ourselves, I believe, in a time where there are Let's say peers in history of mass movements of people that mobilized to protect one another in times of fascism and authoritarianism.
	And this is the...
	She doesn't understand English properly, does she?
	No, no.
	What I think she's trying to say is that Donald Trump is the Nazis and she is the Jews.
	I think that's about it.
	She doesn't really know what she's trying to say.
	All she knows is that she's very, very upset.
	But they didn't have anything else to say.
	That was all in.
	Their whole campaign was just throwing it...
	I'm very upset about this.
	And you've got purer examples in AOC. Everybody expected AOC to come out and say something about...
	A bit puffy today, love.
	People are theorising she's pregnant.
	I've seen people saying things like that.
	I mean, maybe she is, maybe she's just a bit puffy.
	I don't know what's going on.
	Redditors are out for blood saying that you need to start going out and murdering Trump voters.
	So, to be expected.
	I think the purest example of the fury, though, have been some of the clips coming from TikTok and other such platforms where you've got the collages that somebody put together here.
	I'm going to search in some videos I would like to know to be asked.
	Wow.
	Deluge of detritus.
	yeah and there's there's uh compilations of them none of us are stressed about the election right it's all we all are gonna just go have the best night the best night's sleep i'm done I'm done with you.
	Rejected by Robert O'Neill.
	I can't believe it, Robert.
	That's a hard pass, dude.
	You're just not my type, alright?
	Blue eyes, they need to have at least 30% less body mass on them.
	You can't just be twink, you have to be true twink, alright, for Robert O'Neill.
	The best one, this is the one that Stelios has been waiting for.
	This woman...
	This was just priceless.
	Lexi Vlogs.
	Let's see what she had to say on the matter.
	Something reasonable, sane, intelligible, I'm sure.
	I'm sorry!
	No!
	No It's just so obviously fake.
	Right, yeah.
	Obviously fake.
	Even so, even so, I don't ever want to be near people like that.
	No.
	I never want to be near them.
	I occasionally get road rage meltdowns.
	People in the car laugh.
	Sorry, this woman started to shave her head in response because she doesn't want to be raped.
	Because under Project 25 and Donald Trump, obviously rape is about to be legalized in America.
	Even in the transition period.
	Before he's even taken office.
	Well, she's got to make sure, right?
	Because this is now Trump country.
	You saw the Electoral College, Matt.
	Most of the country is deep red Trump country.
	This is MAGA country now.
	So she's got to protect herself by making herself as unattractive as possible.
	Problem is, she doesn't know how to use clippers properly.
	I was going to say, yeah, you probably want to cut your hair a bit shorter before you go with the clippers, unless they're a very, very good set of clippers, and you know what you're doing.
	Which she doesn't look like she does.
	But, Stelios, you were about to talk about a car.
	Yeah, you literally showed it.
	Yeah.
	Oh, alright.
	That's just what you were talking about.
	Alright.
	Okay, well, yeah, you are right, though.
	A lot of this feels incredibly forced, incredibly artificial, incredibly fake.
	It's not...
	Because in 2016, right, we all got the glorious image of that woman in the crowd being filmed looking to the sky and screaming, No!
	No!
	Yeah, that was priceless.
	Which is one of the most iconic images of the 21st century.
	I want to say something.
	I think meltdowns are funny in and of themselves.
	Provided no one gets harmed.
	We were saying that if the result was different and Karl had a meltdown...
	That would have been really funny.
	I almost wanted Kamala victory just so that we could have a Cenk Yuga-esque...
	Fast, two times speed meltdown for Carl.
	I saw a woman at a Trump rally recently, a couple of weeks ago, LARPing as that exact person, wearing that high-vis thing, and I think they had a black beanie, and I go, no!
	At a Trump rally.
	It was really funny.
	The thing that was really funny about that is that it was completely organic.
	Yeah, it was real.
	She didn't know that she was being filmed, or at least she didn't know that she was going to have the zoom in on her.
	She certainly didn't know it would go viral.
	All of these people are just weirdos filming themselves for TikTok because they know that the algorithm is going to push Trump meltdowns and get them viral.
	If they're really scared, they wouldn't point public attention to it.
	If you think the whole country hates you, you don't just go out and scream in public you're against the country.
	The thing I felt about this, my overriding feeling, is I think it's the exact angle you're going with, is that in 2016 I was sort of taken aback by the visceral reaction, the apparently visceral reaction of the left.
	Taken aback by it.
	And this time, just not at all.
	It's sort of funny, but kind of not even barely that.
	So like, for example, if you're not used to seeing, you know, sometimes you get a toddler that throws a complete tantrum.
	And if you haven't seen it before, it's like, It's quite an intense thing.
	But if you're around toddlers all the time, or your toddler does that all the time, it's nothing, you just sort of ignore it, right?
	Well, because they're doing it on purpose to get attention from it.
	Yeah, and you've seen it 50 times, and it just doesn't have any impact.
	I feel like this with the lefties now.
	It's like it's a toddler that's thrown so many tantrums that you just sort of ignore it and just let them get on with it, and you don't even really hear them doing it anymore, almost, you know?
	Yeah, and on that, yesterday, I found that the animating spirit to all of the Trump fear from 2016 has died down a lot.
	Obviously, the media had its big push to call him a fascist authoritarian, yadda yadda yadda, in the run-up to the election, but now that we know he's won, they've kind of deflated.
	They're not as furious as they once were.
	So I said on Twitter, and I'll reiterate now, yesterday I spent the day in Bath, the beautiful British town of Bath.
	Bath?
	Normal people pronounce that Bath.
	No, posh, fancy southerners call it Bath.
	Us northerners, we've got too much to do.
	We don't have time for all of these extended vowels, alright?
	Yeah, so I went to Bath and went around some of the bookshops.
	It's a university's town, very liberal.
	It's nice.
	It's really nice, isn't it?
	It's lovely, but I was expecting to overhear people screeching about Trump and weeping about him.
	No.
	No, instead, people were reserved.
	They didn't really care that much.
	I overheard a gentleman in Topping, which is a bookshop that's mainly staffed by, you know, blue-haired harpies.
	A bloke was being shown around there looking for a book talking about, oh, in my family, I've got family over in America, I think all of my family over there voted for Trump.
	And the staff members were just shrugging their shoulders okay with it.
	In a way that I wouldn't expect them, even if they were trying for good customer service, you'd expect them to say something.
	And then I went to Waterstones, one of the staff members was showing somebody around, talking to somebody, and I overheard him say, oh, well, you know, the negative perception of Trump, that's just the media narrative, isn't it?
	So it's the exact opposite of what you would have expected just a few years ago.
	Well, the real, real reality is, in 2016, he was genuinely an unknown entity, in terms of being in government, at least.
	Whereas now he's not.
	The narrative that someone like Robert De Niro might peddle, that he will never leave office, or the Dems or the mainstream media peddle, that he is Hitler and stuff.
	Well, we saw him in government for four years and he wasn't.
	He didn't do any of those things.
	I mean, he may well play his hand differently this time, but nonetheless, the narrative that he's a madman We know he's not.
	Everyone knows Trump now.
	You might not like him.
	He might be brash.
	He's got his faults.
	But he's not a madman.
	He's not going to start nuking the Middle East.
	He's not going to refuse to leave office after his final four years.
	It's not going to happen.
	So no one believes it.
	No one believes it, I don't think, really.
	And that's why Tentrums and Breakdowns, they don't even really believe it.
	As you say, this person, she doesn't really believe it.
	Yeah, and you've got the international ones where it's an Australian woman screaming as well.
	But again, I don't believe it.
	Some of the better ones I found was this new European front cover, which I think is fantastic just by itself.
	I mean, I wouldn't understand this if Kamala won.
	Exactly.
	It feels very performative, although at least we know, I take this as probably true, which is that Guido Fawkes have access to a Guardian staff email that had been sent out.
	Saying that they're all really upset, they're all crying, so we've got some counselling and support groups for you if you really need it.
	I've also seen in the...
	I've had some insider info that at the BBC, a ridiculous number of staff have taken mental health days since yesterday and now today as well, because they're all very, very upset.
	Because really, I think the people who are...
	Most affected by this, most upset, because Kamala Harris' speech that she gave when it was clear that she'd lost, even she didn't really seem to care that much.
	But the people who do care, really, are the British establishment.
	More than anybody else, it's the British establishment who are the true believers in That Donald Trump is the worst thing to ever happen to the world.
	This is despite the fact that so many different countries in Europe all at the same time have turned around and elected right-wing, anti-establishment, anti-immigration governments.
	The English centrist establishment is still stuck in the 2016 anti-Brexit mindset.
	They're fossils at this point, which ironically probably makes them more conservative than anybody else on the continent right now, wouldn't you say?
	So Nick Dixon...
	Did you see even the German coalition fell apart the other day?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, hopefully the British Labour establishment will get isolated essentially by more and more right-leaning governments in Europe and Trump on the left, not the left, on the left side of the map I meant, that's weird.
	To the West.
	To the West.
	To the West Trump and to the East more and more right-wing government.
	So hopefully Starmer will find himself increasingly isolated.
	And that's the one big benefit that could come from Trump in Trump's administration is that it will put pressure on the UK because Trump has made clear very very very clear time and time again he wants to work with the UK he loves England I think part of his heritage is from England as well, so he wants to work with Great Island!
	He wants to work with our country!
	And Labour have made it clear in the past that they don't really want to do that, and also he's not very happy with the sort of authoritarian measures that Keir Starmer has been taking since he's assumed Prime Minister.
	But here's some of the things that Nick Dixon has accumulated here.
	Rory Stewart saying that Kamala Harris will win comfortably.
	Not just win, but comfortably.
	A thumping majority.
	A Reagan-esque win, perhaps, but for Kamala Harris.
	I wonder who exactly told him to say that?
	I don't believe that's his real organic take.
	I think it's with the polls.
	People like him and other people behind the polls, they wanted to resist demoralisation in the Democrats and to demoralise Republicans.
	That's why till the last minute they were constantly saying Kamala Harris will win.
	Why would Rory Stewart particularly care that much to put sort of his reputation on the line?
	I mean, I think he cares much more about what happens outside the UK, not just in the US. He's a true globalist, right, yeah.
	He's as globalist as it gets, yeah.
	But do you love some of the logic that he put forward here?
	Trump's lost ground since 2016.
	Biden's administration has been solid.
	You've been living on a completely different planet to the rest of us, if you actually believed that, Roy.
	The young black male votes which Trump's Needs, he needs them, didn't turn out in 16, 18, 20 or 22, which to me sounds like racial stereotyping there, old Rory.
	You need to sort that out pretty quick.
	So considering Trump is who he is, he's always done quite well among black voters.
	Right, since the beginning, relatively well.
	Considering he's been painted as this arch-racist.
	I mean, if you see the demographic breakdowns of the votes, 7% of black women voted for Trump.
	Yeah, black women, not so much.
	93% of them voted Democrat, which I'm still shocked it was 7% voted for him.
	Right, that's my point.
	And I think black men was something like 12-13% of them voted for him.
	I have them for the other segment.
	You're correct.
	There you go.
	But also, this whole young women like Kamala and vote and ignore the polls, well, again, people have this stereotype of the awful, the affluent white liberal female, right, who's always just gonna vote blue no matter who.
	The fact is that the white population of America, men and women, overwhelmingly voted for Donald Trump.
	Obviously, more white women than white men voted for Kamala, but still, overwhelmingly, they voted for Trump.
	So people had seemingly just completely counted out their influence in the election, including Rory Stewart.
	Ladies, I never doubted you, and you know this.
	Yes, exactly.
	I think the stereotyping is kind of a dividing technique.
	That's what they're trying to do.
	Joe Walsh, he's going to lose.
	Mike Madrid, Maria Schriever.
	Wait, scroll up.
	Was that the Mooch, Scaramucci?
	Yep.
	Trump knows he's going to lose.
	Okay, Mitch.
	Carol Vorderman, the premier English political commentator.
	My election prediction, Harris by a shock landslide.
	Alistair Campbell.
	Alistair Campbell.
	Elon Musk is getting more and more desperate as reality bites.
	Trump is losing and he knows it.
	So it's not just that they all thought that Kamala Harris was going to win.
	They all thought that she was going to win comfortably.
	With an absolute landslide.
	It's funny, I get it.
	With someone like Carol Valdeman, okay, she's not a political analyst.
	As far as I'm aware, I don't think she's ever studied political theory, or history particularly, or anything like that, or sociology.
	So, okay.
	She stood around on a countdown with her tits on.
	And she did maths.
	She's a maths person, right?
	Maybe she has read the occasional Wikipedia article.
	Right.
	So the point is, if her take is way off...
	Okay?
	She had a punt and was wrong.
	But someone like Alistair Campbell or Rory Stewart, it's their job to be accurate, to know what they're talking about.
	It's their whole person, their whole identity is based around not being disastrously wrong on this sort of thing.
	I mean, Alistair Campbell, what a douchebag.
	People really rail against Tony Blair as the Dark Lord and stuff.
	Alistair Campbell's just as bad, just as terrible, just as despicable of a human being.
	But somehow less charismatic as well.
	Right, yeah, hasn't even got that tincture of charisma.
	I at least feel like I'd be able to have a pleasant conversation with Tony Blair on various different subjects.
	Alistair Campbell just seems like he'd be an absolute arse to you at every occasion, every opportunity.
	But speaking of boars, arses, William Hague, former Conservative leader, put out a tweet and an article calling Trump a serious danger, saying we all needed him to lose.
	This was an article that he put out for The Times, and I've got a few excerpts from it here, because again, the British establishment has wanted to make him an absolute enemy.
	In the run-up to the election as well, so really try to make him an enemy when it's most likely that he's going to get in and when you most likely want to be friends with him, or if you were a sensible establishment.
	He said, the Republicans in the 1980s were a true sister party of the British Tories.
	This was under Reagan.
	I remember going to the political conferences in Washington in the Reagan years and finding an abundance of kindred spirits, which to me, if William Hague, who is pro-globalist, pro-mass migration, saying that we're only just entering the age of immigration and that we need millions,
	hundreds of millions of Third Worlders pouring into Europe, and specifically into the UK, If he finds kindred spirits in what the Republican Party used to be, that is an absolute condemnation of what the party was before Donald Trump, even under Reagan.
	And he ends off the article saying that Trump is a serious danger.
	If Reagan stood for mourning in America, Trump is the approach of midnight.
	Whatever our past affiliations, we should all be Democrats.
	No thank you, Will.
	No, thank you.
	You're a pussy, bro.
	No, thank you.
	How about that?
	How about that?
	There's the establishment line.
	We're all Democrats.
	In Britain, if you're part of the political establishment and you're not like Nigel Farage or someone, you've got to support the Democrats because they're on the same globalist page as you.
	Donald Trump, whatever he does believe, is on a different page to the rest of us.
	So we have to be for Kamala.
	William Hague's whole life has been a bad joke.
	If you've ever seen him, it was before your time, I was a small child, where he'd come out supporting Thatcher when he was like 16 years old.
	Oh, I have, when he still had hair.
	Literally the archetype of a snot-faced Tory boy, Tory child, LARPing as a...
	It's disgusting.
	A potential member of O'Neil's concubine harem back in the day.
	Right, exactly, yeah.
	A disgusting Tory twink boy.
	Yeah.
	And Rory Stewart, obviously we saw his predictions.
	Isn't that Elliot Page?
	Oh no, it is Rory Stewart.
	It is Rory Stewart.
	I do suspect Rory Stewart rumoured to be dying of AIDS right now.
	We don't know for certain, but that is something I've heard.
	Allegedly.
	Allegedly, possibly.
	He certainly looks like it.
	Here's what he had to say following the loss.
	I got it totally wrong.
	I thought that Kamala Harris would win, and I believed she would win comfortably.
	I thought it would be over quite quickly.
	Despite the polls showing 50-50, why?
	Well, I can repeat my arguments.
	They were technical arguments about young African-American voters and how they would turn out, her ground game, the money, the performance of Biden's administration.
	It's all turned out to be wrong, completely wrong.
	I don't think, though, that I was fundamentally wrong because I'm patronising towards people.
	I never felt that.
	I never felt that as a politician in Britain.
	I didn't feel I was patronising towards my Brexit voting constituents.
	I think I was wrong because I'm an optimist.
	And I hate the idea of being right pessimistically.
	I think you can be a false prophet and write.
	So his job is to be wishful thinking?
	Yes.
	It's got nothing to do with that.
	It's that he's living in a different reality.
	He goes on to complain about the rise of popularity.
	The creatures of desire.
	All of the buzzwords, but really what it was, that his heart was too big.
	His heart was too big.
	He hoped too much.
	He had too much care for the people of the world going the wrong way.
	So, Rory, for your failure, you have won a prize going in the crystal.
	This is a Skyrim thing.
	You're going in the crystal.
	No, he's being sent to the Phantom Zone.
	Is that in Skyrim?
	No, it's Superman.
	Oh, oh, that.
	His soul is being put into a Skyrim petty soul gem, because it's petty, because you're not going to get much power from it, and he's being sent to the Phantom Zone.
	James O'Brien.
	Also furious, complaining that a majority of the popular vote in America do not care at all about liberal democratic norms.
	He then says, you know, they're more than happy to throw liberal democratic norms aside as long as, you know, their dollar can buy them more, they can afford more fuel, they're materially better.
	Obviously, obviously if they're materially better off, they're going to care about voting for Trump, if they're better off under him.
	than under Kamala and under Joe Biden who's done nothing but run them into the ground and make them poorer.
	Why don't you care about m-abstract democratic norms when you're going poor?
	I don't know James.
	So for you, get in the crystal.
	You're in the crystal, James.
	Starmer put out a statement saying that, congratulations, but don't worry, we don't forget.
	We know what you used to say back in 2019, saying that an endorsement about Donald Trump was a condemnation for Boris Johnson.
	David Lammy decided that he was trying to play nice, but sadly for you, sorry to break it to you, we've got this 2017 statement of you calling him racist KKK and Nazi sympathiser.
	And then back in 2017, we've got a few clips of Yvette Cooper saying that there's a battle for democracy when you need to censor the internet because otherwise Donald Trump can spread hate.
	There's multiple clips of her saying that exact same thing.
	The current Home Secretary.
	The current Home Secretary.
	Let's hear her on the verge of tears here.
	One moment, let me get it to the right part.
	Oh wait, I'll just play the full clip.
	Mr.
	Speaker, I understand that the woman in question has indeed already been convicted of hate crime in this country, and on that basis, given the significance and the seriousness of having the President of the United States giving her such a huge platform, does he not think it would be appropriate for us to hear some word of condemnation and raising this from the Home Secretary or the Foreign Secretary?
	Why don't you just condemn Donald Trump?
	Just condemn Donald Trump, that's all I like to do, says Yvette Cooper.
	This one is the one that I was going for, one moment.
	...and give a platform for the President of the United States to also sow discord in our communities.
	We know that he and they will keep...
	Keep doing this and keep spreading extremism and we also know from the plaque behind us and from our own history where the spread of extremism leads unless enough of us are prepared to stand up now and say no.
	Oh, I've got my tiny violin somewhere to play for poor Yvette.
	Talk about spreading discord.
	She spreads discord.
	All the time.
	In our country.
	Constantly.
	Not the Donald.
	Yes, and she was gleeful.
	Gleeful talking about the punishments that were going to mete out to the far-right violent thugs earlier this year.
	But yeah, this is the establishment that for years has been fear-mongering about Donald Trump being a Nazi, being a KKK racist sympathiser.
	We need to condemn him.
	We need to utterly block him out from British politics.
	These are the people that are now going to have to be trying to cooperate with him.
	So, Britain, absolute clown show, absolute circus of our country on the international stage, making fools of ourselves, now trying to roll it all the way back.
	So I can only hope that Donald Trump is going to apply the correct pressure to them in the future once he's in again to get them to stop it.
	Loads of them deleting their tweets, but it's out there.
	Once it's out there, it's out there.
	Someone would have screenshotted it or archived it or something or other.
	They're all out there.
	We don't forget.
	Right, so we have some comments.
	Quite a few on Rumble, yes, thank you very much.
	So starting off with Binary Surfer, two for five dollars each, thank you very much.
	Good work on the election stream, guys.
	A flicker of hope now exists.
	Might be a way through this that doesn't involve a lot of people dying through war, starvation, societal collapse, or in camps.
	We can only hope so.
	Key question here is, will the right learn the lesson or decide yet again to carry the leftist scorpion across the river on its back?
	No prisoners.
	No mercy.
	Ow!
	Some war words from binary there.
	Pixon for a dollar.
	Thank you very much.
	Weather is gloomy outside, but ever since Trump came on that stage, I am feeling at peace.
	This morning, flowers have bloomed on my wife's rockery.
	Despite below zero temperatures, nature is healing.
	Lovely.
	That's a random name.
	Remember how AOC and co threatened to have lists of everyone who worked with Trump back in 2020, and now these weaklings are playing victim.
	We won the first battle, but the real war has just started.
	Yeah, that's part of why she's worried, I think.
	she expects them to behave as she would and basically line them all up against the wall neo-unrealist beau's expression of befuddlement at the site of irrational women's outbursts on tiktok is priceless there you go uh uh sayo oran 555 morning slash afternoon lads the victory has felt so sweet these last couple of days and are currently rounding up all the twinks and sending them to his lord o'neill good That's a service for America.
	for your nation.
	Herzorsky says, funny how once Florida organized their election in a first world manner, all of a sudden it's not even close, but a deep red, blood red state, GOP can decimate Dems just by enforcing the FL system, the Florida system federally.
	Perhaps.
	The hapsification for two dollars says, Trump is a Scotsman, his mum is from the Isle of Lewis, Scotland, and she has moved to the US when she was 18 and she loved the late queen.
	Well that explains his affection for these beautiful isles. - Yes.
	Right.
	I think, simply put, the Democrats lost for two reasons.
	First, Trump ran an iconic campaign.
	And second, the Democrats ran an exceptionally bad campaign.
	I have this tweet here from my friend who runs the leftism account.
	He says, love him or hate him, you have to admit Trump has run the most iconic presidential campaign ever, and it's going to go down in All the history books.
	Now, don't know if it's the most iconic ever, could be, but it's definitely up there.
	It's incredibly iconic.
	We had incredible moments that even people who wouldn't be voting for Trump, they have to admit that it was...
	The fist-pumping assassination moment, that transcends electioneering even, as an iconic image.
	I think that really will go down in history.
	It has also become a cup and the Lotus Eaters merch.
	People can visit our merch and see that we still, we choose to still sell some of them for a limited amount of time.
	We have cups, mugs, t-shirts, definitely check them.
	Right, so it was an iconic campaign.
	And I think that this is a campaign that would win even against a good Democrat campaign.
	But the Democrat campaign was incredibly bad.
	And I think that essentially it had three really bad aspects into it.
	It had an incredibly bad choice of candidates.
	An incredibly unclear message and also a very bad delivery and performance.
	So everything was wrong with it.
	You don't even know where to begin.
	Right, so I think we should bear in mind the results because this is one thing to use to judge how the Democrat campaign took place.
	So Trump has literally won more than the seats he needs.
	And the Democrats have close to 226 seats.
	It's definitely, you know, it's a huge loss.
	It wasn't the kind of...
	That's a massive drop-off in total votes from 2020, by the way, for the Democrats.
	Exactly.
	I wonder why that would happen.
	So this wasn't the kind of Republican victory that you saw, for instance, in 1984 elections with Reagan and Mondale.
	But still, it's a very big victory.
	So the message didn't work.
	The message just didn't work.
	They got close to 68 million votes.
	Trump won around 5 million votes more.
	So something didn't work.
	Something didn't quite work.
	And a lot of Democrats and progressives across the world, they don't know exactly what.
	One thing I'll quickly say, if it's alright, is of course there's the campaign season and the campaign of course matters, but there's the years before that as well.
	I don't know if, I think right at the beginning of the campaigning season I saw some data saying that there weren't that many undecideds.
	People sort of already made up their mind one way or another, whether it was about the Afghanistan debacle or the fact they're just simply poorer or the world seems much less safe or whatever it is.
	A lot of people would have made up their minds before Trump and Kamala even hit the campaign trail.
	I think that's definitely true.
	A very large majority functions that way.
	That's why swing states are incredibly important and that's why the campaigns are addressing those undecided voters.
	And you could say that people who make up these undecided voters have more of a negotiational power when it comes to politics.
	That's why a lot of minorities, for instance, sometimes have a disproportionate amount of power because parties are trying to appease them And meet their demands in exchange for their votes.
	Right, so let's see here a demographic breakdown of the votes.
	So we see white men voted only 24% for Harris.
	You could say a bit less than a quarter voted for Harris and three quarters voted for Trump.
	31% of white women voted for Kamala Harris.
	Close to 70% of white women voted for Donald Trump.
	Now, when it comes to black men, they voted for 81% for Harrison, close to 16%.
	In other polls, it's a bit less.
	For Trump and black women, 90% for...
	There's still a lot of black men voting for Trump, to be fair.
	Yeah, that was the point I was making in the previous segment.
	It's still surprising that it's that many.
	That 8% of black women voted Trump.
	Nearly 1 in 10.
	That's surprising.
	That's...
	90% of black women voted for Harris, which is, you can see, the biggest number there, the biggest percentage.
	It's as if Harris was targeting specifically black women.
	And 8%, they voted for Trump.
	Latino men voted 45% for Trump.
	That wasn't exactly to be expected.
	That was something I saw a lot of leftists complaining about online as though Latino men, Hispanic men, had betrayed the Democrat Party.
	There were parts of Florida, for instance, where the entire Latino population voted for Trump.
	Also, 40% of Latino women, Latinas, voted for Trump, which, again, you wouldn't expect.
	And with other races, 55% voted for Trump.
	Again, that wasn't that much expected, at least to some.
	So it seems like...
	The way people received the message was that the message of the Democrat, the policies of the Democrat were overwhelmingly targeted to address black men and women.
	That's essentially what their message was seen to be like.
	It was a minoritarian campaign.
	Exactly.
	So you don't go to fight national elections.
	When you want to win the majority vote, when you make all the elections about minorities.
	When you say it like that, it's just the most obvious thing to say.
	They're mad.
	They must have been mad.
	Exactly.
	Their grand strategy was a madness.
	Yeah.
	So I think we need to focus a lot on the people that were involved.
	Kamala Harris, Tim Walz, the celebrities that were involved, the weird white dude for Harris thing, and also the message and also their reaction.
	Because one thing you can guarantee that politicians don't lie about is that we live in a time of crisis.
	You can count that this is true.
	So every time is a time of crisis.
	And these elections were presented as a time of unprecedented crisis, essentially.
	Both sides were saying that something really important is on the ballot, that the stakes are really high.
	We've said that before though, haven't we?
	That's almost, it's sort of hard baked into republics that you have to make, or democracies, that you have to make each big vote mean a be all and end all thing, whether it really is or not.
	That's sort of part and parcel of it.
	If you were to look at it from a meta perspective and take them at their word that literally every single election is a massive crisis, then that's quite a condemnation of democracy.
	I don't think it is.
	That you're in a constant state of crisis.
	I don't think it is because it's an occasion for judgement.
	And whether you're in a democracy or you're in a council with a few, again it's going to be a moment of crisis.
	So ultimately, all it comes down to is people making good decisions.
	The number is up for debate, but essentially we're talking about good decision making.
	So I think what happens here is that, let's take a look at Kamala Harris and Tim Walz because they were the candidates essentially.
	They're exceptionally bad picks.
	So, what does Kamala Harris, what did she have on her CV? It looks as if she failed upwards her whole career.
	She didn't have one.
	So, what I wanted to say before is that when you say to the people that this is a time of unprecedented crisis, they are judging you.
	What do you suggest for us to do about the crisis?
	So when Tim Walz comes across and says, yeah, we do live in a time of unprecedented crisis, democracy's on the ballot, therefore we want tampons in boys' classrooms, bathrooms, yeah, it's gonna come across as non-serious and as insincere.
	Do you remember why it was that Walz was picked?
	I'm almost certain he was picked solely because he was the guy who came up with the Trump and Vance are weird meme.
	He started calling them weird.
	Wasn't he also the governor of Minnesota when the BLM riots were taking place?
	Yes.
	He's obviously just a complete cuck, isn't he?
	I remember what must have been the 2004 presidential election when Bush Jr.
	getting re-elected and they were right in the middle of Iraq.
	They were right in the middle of one of the battles at Fallujah or something.
	And that did seem like things were really on the line.
	They were really in the middle of something.
	And obviously I wasn't alive, but from what I've read and what I know, the 68 election, sort of Vietnam was in full swing.
	And when they when they pick Nixon, and right, or even the 72 election, re-electing Nixon in 1972, again, a time of actual, you know, much closer to crisis than what we experience today.
	A looming threat of nuclear warfare, for instance.
	Right, there's Cold War still going on and stuff.
	Right, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	So when it comes to Kamala Harris, she had a very confused message.
	To this day, I still don't know exactly what her message was, but it seems to me that she sort of tried to portray herself as different from Biden, but I couldn't see how.
	Despite being his vice president.
	Despite being his vice president, she tried to portray herself as different from Biden, but I don't see exactly how.
	Except if we focus on characteristics that woke people would want us to focus on.
	Like, she is the first candidate with X or Y irrelevant characteristic.
	That's all what they had to propose in a time of unprecedented crisis.
	So she was the border czar, and when a lot of people were genuinely concerned about the situation at the southern border and the rise in crime in several cases, in several cities, her response was to essentially say, no, I'm not Donald Trump, and everyone who's worried is a disgusting bigot.
	That's how her message came across.
	I'm sure some Democrats will deny this, but this is how her message came across.
	So that's not serious.
	When you say that you face an unprecedented crisis, you don't just have people like Tim Walz saying, yeah, we need to solve the crisis by putting tampons in boys' bathrooms.
	You don't have...
	I mean, this was a big moment.
	He seemed as completely as a fish out of the bowl.
	This will become a meme.
	It has already become a meme.
	We have J.D. Vance in his debate with Tim Wolves.
	He had this expression that suggested, I don't know what I'm hearing, and you're supposed to know when you want to be the vice president.
	You're supposed to know.
	He wasn't also in favor of free speech and also Kamala Harris.
	They were particularly adverse to free speech.
	And when you're saying that you're facing again a time of unprecedented crisis, you need to show that you understand that people from the other side will be concerned and want to express their concerns.
	Rather, what they did was, well, we're going to make everyone shut up by calling them disgusting bigots.
	Clearly, it didn't work.
	It didn't work.
	Thank you.
	And also, what was his message to men?
	And again, I still don't know what their message to men, to the male population was.
	He says, I want to talk to all the guys for a second, think about all the women in your life that you love, daughters, wives, moms, cousins, neighbors.
	This election is about their lives and protecting their freedoms.
	It's about everyone's freedoms, presumably.
	You try to talk about the common good, not just about the common good of particular special interest groups.
	And it seems like not all women voted for Harris, let's say.
	It is right to say, though, that Waltz's message to men was, be a cuckold.
	His whole point was step aside and let women take charge.
	So, stop being men, sit in the cook chair in the corner, and watch Kamala, you know, girl boss it.
	Also, one thing is that when we're talking about the choice of president of the US, a lot of people choose the person they feel comfortable with making decisions.
	So when you have it contextualized in your mind that something really important is at stake, we need to safeguard our, let's say, our country.
	You want people who don't appease those who burn your flags, for instance.
	Right.
	Yeah?
	It seems like both Kamala Harris and the Biden administration didn't have the reaction that a lot of people would have wanted them to have when people like that burned American flags constantly.
	Yeah, this is disastrous optically.
	But they did have this visceral reaction when some people left skid marks and pride murals.
	They constantly said hate crime.
	The whole establishment that backed the Biden administration, they protested hate crime where there were skid marks and pride murals, but they weren't particularly alarmed at people desecrating statues and monuments of the U.S. In the grand scheme of things, outside the woke bubble, when people do this, it doesn't reflect well on them.
	Right, so let's talk about the celebrities, because that was fun.
	I think essentially what their main takeaway from this is that they need better teleprompters.
	I don't know if you saw Cardi B. She literally took the podium and for one minute and 25 seconds she had nothing to say.
	She was incredibly nervous and someone brought her a phone.
	Even if she had something to say, if you are voting on behalf of what Cardi B has told you, if that's why you're voting and who you're voting for, you shouldn't be allowed to vote.
	Yeah, it's a funny thing when people actually take their political cues from any sort of celebrity.
	Dave Chappelle had a funny bit about Ja Rule.
	Do you remember that?
	It's years old now.
	He's saying, okay, let's get Ja Rule.
	I think he was talking about 9-11.
	It's like, we need to understand what Ja Rule thinks about this.
	What's Ja Rule's take?
	Yeah, if you're taking your politics off of Cardi B or Beyonce or The Rock, It's the same for the right, on the right-hand side.
	If you were an undecided, but you saw that Hulk Hogan and The Undertaker were pro-Trump, you're like, well, I'm pro-Trump now.
	Yeah, you've lost...
	That's not serious.
	Yeah, yeah.
	It's not good on both sides of the aisle.
	At the very least, the aesthetics of Donald Trump being endorsed by Hulk Hogan are better than Kamala Harris with Cardi B twerking for him.
	But also, we have J.Lo here, Jennifer Lopez, who endorsed Kamala Harris.
	And what is interesting, I saw someone saying, I think it was Gad Saad, that she has a notoriously bad reputation for treating people who work with her and for her really badly.
	So all these celebrities living in their really rich houses, isolated from the actual problems of most people, yeah, they're talking down to everyone.
	It's not gonna work.
	It doesn't reflect well on...
	She was with P. Diddy for years, you know that?
	Oh, it said in that tweet.
	Oh, was it?
	Oh, did it?
	A moment ago, between 99 and 2001.
	Someone's there holding champagne, I think.
	I think that's Diddy.
	Yeah.
	We also had the Avengers.
	Suddenly, the Avengers cast.
	Let's say Scarlett Johansson.
	I'm sorry she did this.
	Why are you apologizing on her behalf?
	Do you personally know her?
	Did you convince her to do this?
	No, I didn't.
	Rub her down.
	You tried to talk her out of it.
	She shouldn't have done so.
	Scarlet, no, don't do it, says Stelius.
	We had also this weird, weird thing here, the white dudes for Harris, and also the incredibly cringe answered by Robert.
	That's not cringe, that's bass, damn it.
	Return to Spartan morality.
	He said, you're not men, you're boys.
	If there was no social media, you'd be my concubines, and we have here, Harrison.
	Harry Sisson and Dean Withers awaiting Robert O'Neill's winning bid at the White Dudes for Harris auction.
	Nobody else put a bid in.
	They already belong to O'Neill.
	Right.
	So I want to talk a bit about their message because their message was essentially...
	We're not Trump.
	Their message was Trump is Hitler.
	Anyone who is pro-Trump is a disgusting bigot.
	Any kind of concerns that they express, they're the concerns of disgusting bigots.
	If you dare to even say that there is a problem with erosion of the culture of the nation, you're a bigot.
	Essentially, they were talking down to people.
	And I think that this shows a lot about the elites that form what we speak of as the progressive establishment within quotation marks, because I think actually it's incredibly regressive.
	It's not actual progress.
	Again, I think the best way to characterize it is they are the conservatives of yesterday's regime, right?
	Yesterday's hegemony.
	And they have violated Scarface's law.
	He says on Scarface in the movie, don't get high with your own supply.
	Essentially, that's exactly what happened.
	And that's what makes them authoritarian, essentially, because one of the problems of authoritarian regimes is the circulation of information.
	No one wants to bring bad news to the leader.
	So that's exactly how the establishment that backed Kamala Harris functions.
	They didn't want to circulate bad news to each other.
	No one wanted to tell them that, no one wanted to be the bearer of bad news.
	Say, it doesn't work.
	And every time people tried to challenge them on their policies, they reacted on the same way.
	Instead of saying, maybe people have something to say, maybe their concerns are sort of valid, No.
	What they opted for was to dismiss everyone and to say...
	In their own bubble, someone like Alistair Campbell or Roy Stewart in their own bubble, you know, huffing their own farts too much, getting high on their own supply of farts.
	He didn't...
	We played this video before.
	He literally said that he was just an optimist and that he failed for the right reasons, though, because he doesn't want to be the bearer of bad news.
	That's exactly what I said before.
	But that's exactly how regimes become authoritarian, because if you don't want to hear bad news, you don't want to hear criticism.
	So not a serious analyst dealing with reality in any sort of objective sense?
	Not at all.
	Just wishful thinking.
	And again, allegedly infected with an acute case of AIDS. And they were paid for wishful thinking.
	Every time people like him are paid to speak their mind about allegedly neutral data, they're pushing forward an agenda.
	And the reason why all of them were predicting a Harris victory was because they wanted to demoralize Republicans.
	And they wanted to combat the demoralisation of the Democrats.
	So I think last...
	It's a weird tactic though, isn't it?
	If you just zoom out for a moment, and just look at it from a 10,000 foot view, a historical view, it's a weird angle to take, think that that will really work in any real way.
	Essentially, they based their whole campaign on a lie that Trump is necessarily against abortion.
	That was it.
	Where Trump said, essentially, he's going to outsource judgment to the states.
	So they were completely out of touch.
	Their message was unclear.
	The bits of it that weren't unclear were...
	We're just wrong.
	Also, they were entirely out of touch.
	And everyone who dared to tell them that you are wrong, something's not right, they responded by saying you're a disgusting bigot.
	And my key takeaway here is that I think that the people who voted were correct in saying this, that having a candidate with policies that address a nation's decline is more important than having the first candidate with this or that irrelevant characteristic.
	When you say that it's an unprecedented crisis, you don't say that the solution is, well, let's choose someone with irrelevant characteristics and put tampons in boys' bathrooms.
	They went woke.
	They went broke.
	There was a third pillar.
	There was a third pillar.
	Tampons in boys' bathrooms.
	She black y'all.
	Kill your children.
	Abortion.
	That was it.
	And not guarding the border.
	Oh, that too.
	But that just comes in the general recipe for destroying civilization.
	Shall we go through the rumble rants before both segments?
	Binary Surfer says, No, Scarlet, don't do it.
	Just continue taking that special sauce from Woody Allen.
	Weinstein and every other producer until it looks fancy and entirely.
	I mean, she shouldn't have done this, but she's an attractive woman.
	She's already starting to get on though.
	They're starting to fade.
	They're starting to fade.
	She's not like she was in the Christopher Nolan film about magicians with Christopher Prestige.
	Hello again lads, two more things.
	Michael Watley and Lara Trump were so much more on the ball in Stopping the Steal.
	Two, seeing Nancy Pelosi in tears at the God Emperor's ascension was delicious.
	The only women's freedom Democrats seem to care is their ability to kill unborn babies.
	They don't care about women's ability to defend themselves.
	Yeah, and they gaslighted everyone.
	They gaslighted everyone.
	That's a random name.
	I feel like the only conclusions the leftists will take from this is that they lost because there were too many white people.
	Their solution will be to try to flood the nation with more third-worlders.
	That's not a conclusion they're about to make.
	That's already their worldview.
	And their conclusion will be they need better teleprompters.
	Gaslighting doesn't really work all that well in this day and age.
	When you can go on the internet and just see if something's true or not.
	A tiny bit of research for yourself on YouTube or Twitter or something, you can find out that something the mainstream media or a politician is telling you is a complete liar and that if you call them out or you think they're lying, you're a bad person.
	Most normal people that have got any sort of mind in their head, which is nearly all adults, They're not going to take that.
	They're not going to have that.
	We're not children, right?
	We're not idiot children.
	Well, you can still apply peer pressure, but as soon as one person within a peer group breaks out of the hive mind, you find that it gives permission for one or two others to do it.
	And once you've broken through that wall, the rest of them come through anyway.
	Or they can.
	Some people are beyond help.
	Yeah, yeah, some people are idiot children in their adulthood.
	Yeah, some.
	But not many, not many, that's my point.
	Okay, let's talk about what might be next for the Democrats then.
	So we did their meltdown, and we did what actually happened, and now what about the future?
	Because the future is, you know, there's full spectrum dominance by the Donald within the White House, Senate, Congress, and he's obviously got the Supreme Court, so...
	Where do the Dems go from here?
	It was a bit of a shellacking, wasn't it?
	He even won the popular vote, but to the tune of five million odd.
	So that's...
	I think they're going to have Biden 2028 campaign.
	They're actually going to weekend at Birmingham this time.
	Actually, have little stilts and sticks holding him up.
	Or maybe Jimmy Carter, third run, he's still alive.
	He's about as much of a corpse as Biden is.
	He's in much better shape than Biden.
	He can drive a golf ball like 50 yards further than Biden.
	No, no.
	Jimmy Carter is on his way out.
	Terrible, terrible state.
	Poor man.
	Okay, we do have a merch store about this stage in the segment.
	You should mention the merch store.
	You can buy some Trump-themed merch.
	We were going to end it after November 5th, but because it's doing quite well, we thought we'd give people a bit extra time to buy some merch.
	T-shirts, posters, mugs, all that kind of good stuff.
	Helps us keep the lights on here because we demonetised and we haven't got any sugar daddies.
	So, please do...
	Speak for yourself.
	Well, I mean, as an organisation.
	You're not in O'Neill's stable, are you?
	Well, you know, I never kiss and tell.
	No, I've already gone through twink death.
	So Kamal Harris, finally, it took her a day to come to grips, come to terms with her defeat, just like Hilary did.
	But the next day, yesterday now, she finally came out and gave a speech.
	We don't actually need to listen to it.
	It's the same old thing.
	There's nothing special in it, particularly.
	Did you watch it?
	I've seen the clips from it.
	She comes across like she doesn't really care all that much.
	She didn't seem too fast, to be honest.
	She woke up that morning, looked in the mirror and went, yeah, I'm a loser.
	She knew she's a natural loser.
	Same with Waltz as well.
	They're both natural losers.
	She was like, well, you know, I suppose there is a glass ceiling for me.
	She shrugged her shoulders and went, well, I'm already rich.
	Who cares?
	I can still make literally millions on the talking circuit.
	Sell a book or two that someone else will ghostwrite for me.
	Yeah, she was thinking, my MSNBC career is already cemented, so I don't need to worry about anything.
	I mean, if they don't change, they're going to lose also the next one, because she can't be spontaneous.
	She can't talk.
	They really...
	Upon reflection, they do really come across as a pair of sacrificial lambs.
	Yeah.
	I think they were.
	AA had a decent take on that, saying that the establishment, the deep state, whatever you want to call it, sort of think that there will be a big financial crisis in the next four years.
	So they don't want their side in power at the time.
	So sort of deliberately lose this one, sort of deliberately throw this one, so that Trump is in power during that period.
	And so you put up a sacrificial lamb who you expect to lose, who will lose.
	Harris Waltz.
	There you go.
	Yeah.
	I mean, I did think she didn't seem particularly bothered.
	You know what sprung to mind is when Theresa May had to leave Number 10, she was really crying, almost crying, like really, really holding herself back from crying.
	Do you remember when Boris left, when he came out of Number 10 and gave his speech?
	He seemed like he was over the moon.
	It was actually sort of like bubbly and laughing and stuff.
	Do you remember?
	It was weird.
	It was really weird because he got totally cooed.
	He got totally stabbed in the back.
	I would expect you to be really bitter and angry and upset and stuff, but he seemed like, no, it's fine.
	It was a lot less stress afterward, didn't it?
	Yeah, yeah.
	It's a load off.
	That's right.
	Finally, the newspapers will stop insulting me.
	I mean, if you have people who go after office without caring for the country, they just want to take the office, well, they take it and then they can leave and they're happy.
	Yeah, right, yeah.
	It speaks volumes, isn't it?
	Johnson and others are the kind that would want to take office, like you say, purely for the sake of having it on their CV. Yeah.
	Just have a picture, then I'm going to show it to my guests.
	I ran the UK once, don't you know?
	I won the election, next day I resign.
	I got the photo, been there, done that.
	You can imagine people like Rishi on this trust literally doing that at a dinner party.
	I was Prime Minister once, you know.
	People were like, yeah, alright, of course you were.
	Tiny little Indian man, Prime Minister, alright, you say so.
	So yeah, she finally conceded and she was quite gracious about it.
	She could have been sort of bitter, I suppose.
	Could have thrown a few more barbs in there and she didn't.
	So at least give her that.
	At least give her that.
	So what is the future?
	Some pundits were saying that she sort of left the door open or a small amount of wiggle room for herself to maybe keep going at the top of the party and maybe even run next time.
	I don't see that happening.
	Even if that's what she wants, which I wouldn't put it past her, I don't think she would ever get the nomination from the party.
	I mean, the only reason she got here in the first place is because they did everything they could to outmaneuver Bernie.
	To make her VP in the first place and then we all know she didn't face the primary because they cooed Joe.
	So that's the only reason she was ever running for Prez in the first place is because she was placed there.
	I don't think...
	She wasn't particularly popular.
	The party didn't want her anywhere near it.
	Ridiculously unpopular.
	That's why she won the nomination in 2020.
	Yeah, the party didn't want her anywhere near power, let alone running for the top job.
	So even if she wants to still be involved in the very, very top tier of American politics, it's done.
	I think she's in the bin of history now.
	I'm remembering the Kamala checklist for why they chose her for VP after Biden got the nomination, which was literally black woman, tick, tick, there you go.
	I think she's going to write a book called Breaking the Glass Ceiling.
	Something like that.
	Yeah.
	Right, yeah.
	Yeah, it's exactly the sort of thing she'll do.
	And someone else will ghostwrite it for her and even they will be cutting and pasting off of Wikipedia.
	That's how she rolls apparently.
	It won't be.
	Yeah, that guy, the ghostwriter, will just be copying pages.
	Yeah, even the ghostwriters are not going to think original.
	It's my signature style, you understand.
	You won't believe I wrote it if you don't do that.
	So, let's have a bit of a look at the party then.
	So, with Trump, or the Republicans rather, gaining the Senate and retaining control of Congress, Both Chuck and Nancy are sort of not in the picture as much as majority leaders, right?
	So if you remember in 2016, Trump had to deal with Chuck and Nancy in order to get stuff done and they obviously wouldn't play ball with him, hardly ever, over almost everything, just to prevent him from getting stuff done.
	So he doesn't have to deal with that as much, at least.
	Now, but there is an old guard, you know, in the Democrat Party, there are quite a few old people now, you know, like Feinstein or even Pelosi and Chuck, they're getting on, they're getting up there.
	So I imagine in 2028 or even beyond that, it will be the next crop of people, people in the Democrat Party that are about our age or a bit older, about my age or maybe a touch older than me.
	So pretty old.
	Yeah, so well old.
	Old times.
	Or there's some people that are still too young, like AOC will still be too young, right?
	There is an age qualification, so AOC will still be too young.
	But let's have a look at who might be next.
	I mean, the obvious one is Gavin Newsom, right?
	I think he's the next big beast in the party.
	I thought he was going to run back in July.
	Yeah, I threw his name out there.
	If they were going to coup Biden, maybe it would be him.
	I think it was sensible, because they knew whoever was going to be running against Trump this time was going to be fighting an uphill battle, if only because of the time limitations on it.
	So Gavin Newsom was clearly kept in the reserves for the next time.
	They don't want to use up his political capital now.
	I think you're right, but something that was very surprising to me at some point, you know, I started replying something to Piers Morgan, who said something about Newsom.
	And I had lots of people who were supporting Newsom on the replies, and I just couldn't understand why.
	And there are a lot of supporters of him in California saying essentially that he is good for business.
	Well, I'm sure he is.
	I've seen people, I think it was Sean actually, on the live stream, when we brought up Newsom for maybe 2028, saying that, well, he's going to have an uphill battle of his own because of what a state California is in.
	That's true for some voters, but all of the progressive voters are going to look at California and the state it's in and go, yes, that's what we want.
	This is the plan.
	This is what the country should be.
	Well, we saw even at this election, California was called the moment the polls closed because it's just a slam dunk.
	Despite everything, despite everything, it's still a complete lock for the Dems, the whole of California.
	So, yeah.
	I do feel bad for the red counties because they exist.
	Oh, yeah.
	The red counties in California.
	It's just they have a number of bug man outposts there, which are some of the most some of the largest cities in the country.
	Remember, California is massive with a population of tens of millions.
	Its economy is bigger than most countries.
	Yeah, and there are millions of deep red Republicans that live in California.
	And yeah, I feel sorry for them.
	Poor sods.
	Yeah, I feel sorry for them.
	Okay, so Gavin Newsom, I think, if I had to put money on it, right now anyway, it's my age terribly, That in 2028 it will be...
	It will be...
	It will be Newsome, I would have thought.
	I think so.
	Vance versus Newsome, right?
	I would have thought.
	Okay.
	So, if it's not Newsom for whatever reason, or if it has scandals or the party just don't want to pick him, because what quite often happens, happens, happens tons of times in politics, is you have such a big beast, someone is so obviously the next one in waiting, that like in a game of Risk, everyone else gangs up against them.
	Right?
	And the classic example of that, I think, is maybe Heseltine.
	Heseltine was going to be Thatcher's replacement when Thatcher had gone for whatever reason.
	And everyone was like, no, no, no.
	Anyone, anyone.
	John Major.
	We're all getting behind John Major.
	Let's go.
	No one wanted, really.
	Heseltine was the one.
	That's true, but if the party wants to get themselves back on track, the Biden-Harris administration has been completely marred by the clear personal ambitions of a lot of the people making up for it.
	So if they want what's good for the party, they would have to put aside that kind of petty backstabbing to put someone like Newsom ahead.
	But you are right that the party is filled with insane old people who are going to be dead in the next ten years and don't care anyway.
	Well, there are people like Bernie, Liz Warren, someone like Andrew Cuomo, Maxine Waters.
	These are all like the older people.
	How old is Bernie now?
	Bernie Sanders.
	He's got to be in his 80s, hasn't he?
	He is 83.
	So four years, he's going to be 87.
	Can you imagine that finally, 87 years old, they finally give him the chance to run.
	Now, I mentioned Bernie and Liz Warren and Maxine Waters as people that I think their time has been and gone.
	It's not them anymore.
	It's not them anymore.
	It's the next generation down now.
	It would be funny if they were at Bernie, finally.
	Bernie against J.D. Vance.
	I'd love that debate.
	So, a few names, like AOC would be still too young, or, well, anyway.
	Is it 35?
	I think it's, for the presidency, I think it's 35.
	How old is she?
	She's 35 right now.
	Oh, okay.
	Oh, well, okay.
	She is old enough.
	Oh, right, okay.
	Well, well then.
	She's more of a social media star than an actual serious person, though, isn't she?
	Yeah.
	Well, yeah.
	She's guilty of malapropisms.
	She says the wrong word.
	She's also clearly an idiot.
	Although that's never stopped Americans before.
	Yeah.
	Also, a few names showing up.
	There's Pete Buttigieg.
	How do you say that?
	So, ironically, if it was Pete Buttigieg and he got in, it would be a man with the first man in history.
	Oh yeah, he's in a gay marriage, right?
	Yeah.
	That'd be amazing if even a man gets that first man.
	Yeah.
	Hillary and Harris fail.
	Pete Buttigieg finally makes history.
	But he seems like just...
	Well, all of these...
	I'm not going to mention anyone that I've got any faith in whatsoever.
	Anything good to say about...
	Cory Booker.
	Give me a break.
	Gretchen Whitmer, please.
	That Joe Manking guy.
	One of the most subversive people you will ever see.
	Peter O'Rourke.
	Who would really want Want that.
	Anthony Blinken?
	I mean, he's a bit more serious, a little bit more serious.
	Obviously a douchebag, but a bit more serious.
	Tim Walsh.
	Well, now Tim Walsh has got name recognition.
	I don't think the party would pick him.
	But his name is Mud.
	Yeah, right.
	Yeah.
	John Edwards, Adam Skiff.
	People hate Adam Skiff, but again, he's one of the power players in the party, I think.
	I think the problem with a lot of these names that you could put forward is...
	Save for Newsome, who comes across like a serious and intelligent person.
	He has the optics of a statesman.
	I was going to say exactly that.
	He's got a bit of a statesman about him.
	Even if he's a bit Patrick Bateman at the same time, still, all of the rest of these names that I'm looking at have a bad aesthetic to them.
	They're very off-putting and unserious people.
	So Newsome is the only one who isn't strange and off-putting in that same way.
	Yeah, no, I completely agree.
	Maybe Senator Scott Wiener.
	Scott Wiener, oh my god.
	Oh my god.
	Um, Cory Bush.
	I mean, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, I don't think they were born Americans, were they?
	I don't even know.
	Anyway, obviously they're not eligible if that is the case.
	She was born in Somalia?
	Right, I think so.
	You think Cenk is going to go?
	Cenk!
	Finally the party, except Cenk into their ranks.
	Rashida Tlaib was born in Michigan.
	Oh, okay.
	In Detroit though.
	Okay, so...
	That'd be a rank from Richard's story.
	I think what's interesting to say is that although it seems like Gavin Newsom and I hate the guy, there is something of the statesman about him.
	He's got some sort of presence and not really anyone else has.
	But despite that, there are loads of named recognition people, right?
	They have got a stable of people.
	I mean, I couldn't name as many Republican politicians, probably.
	And these are only the few I picked out.
	There was a longer list, and most people would know the names of some other people.
	So we'll see what happens.
	Now, the last thing I'll say is not just the person they pick to go forward in 28, but the spirit of the party.
	Will the Democratic Party Will it be able to come back from this sort of ultra-wokeness, really socialism, really anti-Americanism, anti-Westernism, anti-whitism?
	Will it be able to ever come back from that and reform itself and reimagine itself back into sort of a 90s Democrats type thing?
	I don't know if that's possible.
	Because there are already loads of those names that I've read out.
	These are all crazy people.
	Adam Skiff.
	Madness.
	Joe Menken.
	AOC. You'd have to purge your party of these people.
	The thing is that they have a dilemma whether to focus on more traditionally economic arguments or these crazy arguments.
	So they could just rally on a welfare state agenda.
	Obviously they do, but just highlight this.
	It seems to me that Trump is going to be good for the economy, so they're not going to be able to project that argument.
	So it seems to me that in the next four years, they will still do this.
	That's why a lot of news agencies now and articles say that the problem with Harris is that she didn't highlight her profile.
	Yeah.
	If I had to guess, I would say, yeah, they won't come back from this precipice.
	The next ten years or...
	Yeah, they'll move up a gear going over the edge of the cliff, if anything.
	Okay, got to bring it to an end there.
	But so, a few superchats.
	What's this?
	Bobobad.
	says, rumour has it Josh Shapiro declined the VP spot since he thought them losers.
	Tim Wilde Stallion-Waltz was chosen for the cuck chair or else he could get the Emhoff uppercut.
	Who's Emhoff again?
	I don't know, but I like Tim Wilde Stallion-Waltz.
	That's great.
	Wes Angles says, Jill Biden picked Kamala for VP because she was so awful the DNC deep state would never be so stupid as to replace him.
	Yeah, I've heard that about Nixon.
	Yeah, there's a couple of times in history where you've deliberately picked a VP so bad so you don't get cooed because you're left with this loser.
	That's definitely a tactic.
	Yeah, that makes sense.
	That's a random name, says, I feel like the dark cabals will try and ruin Trump's second term by engineering another global crisis.
	Yeah, I think that, yeah, COVID 2.0 or global depression, etc., And using the chaos...
	Can you turn the light back on that?
	To regain power.
	To regain power, just a feeling lol.
	Bobo Bad again says, I've got to say my other comment, but Governor Shapiro is suspected to have some presidential aspirations for 2028 and dodged the Harris campaign since it was absolutely trash and would be a drag.
	Yeah, don't blame him then.
	Glee777 says, Diplomacy will be a nightmare for President Buttigieg having a first man and all, especially with Africa and the Islamic world.
	Yeah, he's got name recognition, but I think certain unspoken biases of the American people and normal people in general would probably prevent him from ever getting near the end.
	And his policies are batshit crazy.
	Yeah, that too.
	That too, but most of the time it's a popularity contest on the person, right?
	Yeah.
	And finally, that's a random name, said, also, have you seen Octavian?
	I mean, Baron Trump.
	Octavian is Augustus.
	He's the reason his dad did all the podcasts, and he's built like a Primarch.
	I guess that's a 40k Primarch.
	Demigod, son of the God Emperor.
	The kid is the real Trump Tower, lol.
	Yeah, I think he's like the Lisan Al-Ghaib, Baron Trump.
	He's like the chosen one.
	I mean, if it is his reason that Trump did all the podcasts, he's clearly got the right instincts for the current age, right?
	And all he would need to do for a proper Primark build is just hit the gym and get jacked.
	He got jacked.
	He'd be like an actual monster among men.
	I mean, he's what, 6'7"?
	Hogan was 6'7"?
	Back in the day before all of his back surgeries.
	He looks even taller.
	He might be 6'9".
	Okay, so have we got any video comments then today?
	It's basically impossible to avoid finding yourself in an echo chamber on Twitter, but I find it hard not to get optimistic.
	There's something different in the air beyond the usual Trump campaign hype energy, and I think it's a sense of unity.
	They're bringing together RFK Jr., Tulsa Gabbard, Ron Paul, even Joe Rogan came around, people from all walks of life.
	Trump can connect with the most common of working men and women, and Elon regularly pushes the boundaries of human science and technology in between shitposts.
	They really are the party of if an average guy had a billion dollars.
	Godspeed Americans, and put the global hegemony on suicide watch.
	Good work on that wall, by the way.
	Those grips you were going for were tiny.
	You must have strong fingers.
	I don't know if y'all believe in signs, but in 2020 it quit raining here.
	We've been in a horrible drought.
	And Saturday, it rained seven inches.
	I think that's a good thing.
	It's not flooded out in a bad way.
	I think that's good.
	It's a good omen.
	It's bringing life.
	Yeah, renewal and hope.
	Oh god, here we go.
	Nourishment.
	True.
	The team as around now is a better, more capable team.
	They have created a far more potent enemy in Trump with a four-year break in between.
	Yeah.
	Think about what he's going to do.
	Because he played that first term defensively.
	Yeah.
	You know, he was reacting to the...
	I'm tired.
	Yes.
	Dan kept looking over me for expert political analysis.
	I was exhausted.
	I was on a panel with you after that one and you were looking bleary-eyed, I must admit.
	I was starting to feel sick at that point because I drank so much coffee and energy drink to keep myself awake.
	I could feel my stomach churning and I thought, don't, not on this.
	Don't, don't sick of it.
	A belly full of energy drink and coffee is not good.
	And biscuits.
	Because the pizza by that point had long past gone cold, which I was not touching that.
	You know, they say if Kamala wins, then the whole country will be like Detroit.
	Okay?
	I'm Donald Trump, and I approve this message.
	Right.
	Nice.
	Fuck this stupid ass!
	Fuck!
	Woohoo!
	Yes!
	Yeah, there it is.
	He's got promo code MAGAFOREVER at cscooper.com.au, 20% discount.
	Keeps a good guy, check him out, buy his stuff.
	Eventually, one day, soon, you'll be able to get Bo's book, eventually, for that discount as well.
	For a discount.
	We're gonna hold you to it.
	No, I want you to.
	It's good.
	It's such a chore.
	You have to do it.
	If anyone out there tried to write a novel-length bit of fiction, You've got to really, really believe in your characters and your story that it's worth telling.
	I bet you've also properly had to figure out a world and how the mechanics of the world work as well.
	To some extent, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	It's like doing anything artistic, truly, from scratch.
	It's very, very easy for it to be crap.
	Yeah.
	It's like you do a painting or anything.
	It's the easiest thing in the world for it to be shit at the end of it.
	As an accomplished musician, I wouldn't know that feeling.
	Oh, all right.
	Please no one go and find my old teenage bands.
	They are out there.
	I won't tell you.
	Go on.
	Great election coverage, gentlemen.
	Thank you very much.
	But now is not the time for us, any of us, to rest on our laurels.
	This shows what we can accomplish.
	So now every election must be on our radar.
	Every election.
	The degenerate race communists win because we rest and declare victory.
	Victory is not today or tomorrow.
	This is just a skirmish.
	The war is still to be won.
	Fair point, good point.
	It's the beginning.
	The man's right.
	Okay, we've gone to half past.
	Do we want to give it an extra five minutes so we can read through a few extra comments, Samson?
	Samson has cracked the whip because Calvin takes precedence over us.
	I see how the pecking order goes.
	Thank you very, very much for tuning in to this first podcast post-presidential election.
	Hopefully we'll have more good news for you as we go ahead.
	Tune in for Common Sense Crusade at 3 o'clock.
	Till then, we'll see you soon.
