Dave Rubin hosts a marathon 2024 election night stream featuring Megyn Kelly, Ben Shapiro, and Jordan Peterson, celebrating Donald Trump's projected victory after Fox News calls Pennsylvania. Guests like Clay Travis and Dan Crenshaw argue the "war on reality" has ended, while Gad Saad critiques "suicidal empathy." The broadcast mocks mainstream media failures, highlights shifting demographics among Latino and Black voters, and concludes with Rubin declaring a return to meritocracy and announcing his own retirement from the show. [Automatically generated summary]
We either continue with democracy or we end it tonight.
It's happening.
The polls are starting to close across the nation.
It is election night in America.
And before we do anything, and I am telling you, right off the top, we have the zaniest, wackiest, star-studded bonanza of a show you have ever seen.
Like, we saw what some other people are doing, and I think we have absolutely That just knocked it out of the park at every possible level.
We will go as many hours as it takes.
If I have to sit in this chair with a numb ass for six hours, I will do it.
Do we have anti-numbing cream?
We have some anti-numbing cream on standby, just in case.
But we got a ton of fun things we're gonna do and silly things.
We got a great guest list, which I'll get to in just a moment.
But before we do anything else, we have tequila, lots of stuff.
Before we do anything else, I really...
I just got to say a couple things.
I just want to level set and just really connect with you guys for just one second.
First off, right before we started, and I know we're a couple minutes late here for our 6 p.m.
start time, I said to the guys in the room, the guys and the gals in the room, I said, you know, do you guys want to pray for a second?
Like, literally.
Do you literally want to pray?
And I think everyone watching this, you at home and us right here and Everybody that's on, let's say, the right side of this thing, no pun intended, is kind of praying right now.
And I have no doubt that people on the other side of this thing, I guess, are praying.
They're a little less into praying maybe than we might be.
But everything, the dream of America, I guess, is what is really up for debate tonight.
You know, I've been telling you about how this isn't about Republicans and Democrats and conservatives versus liberals and all that stuff.
It's really been, this is an election in essence over reality.
Will we continue to have people who can think for themselves and build things and follow the American dream and do things differently or will we hand it all off To the system, the system that has repeatedly lied to us, and locked us in our homes, and injected us with things, and then lied about it, and then lied about it, and then lied about it, and lied about it, and lied about it.
Like, is that the way we are going?
And to whatever extent elections are real, if we believe that they are real.
And I do, by the way.
Not to say that shenanigans can't be within the system, but I do believe that elections are real.
I voted today in Florida and it was pretty damn secure with a pen and a paper and people that made sure that my ID matched my name and my address and then put it in, then had my private booth and then put it in the machine myself and it was clean and clear and we'll have results out of this state very cleanly.
There will be other states where it won't be as clean.
But we're all praying right now.
Like, this really is a seminal night in the history of America.
So with that in mind, I really, more than anything else, I just wanna, before we get to the fun and silly stuff and the tequila, and I made some pretty bomb-ass Wagyu tri-tips for my team.
We're working hard today.
I just want to thank you for being here.
I know that there is a million shows you could be watching.
There are a million live streams.
I have no doubt you'll be flipping around and all of that stuff.
But I hope that we will provide something that's a little bit different and a little bit special.
Connor, you could flick to the other camera if you want for a second.
How special will it be?
Well, we'll even have Super Mario Brothers being played.
I am going to try.
Because there are a lot of downtime.
You know, one of the things is they bring all these panels, CNN, MSNBC, panels, 18 people, none of them particularly interesting, each one more asexual than the next.
And they just talk the whole time.
And they're talking and talking.
And either they're happy or they're not happy.
Or if it's CNN or MSNBC, they have one token Republican and they throw a cookie in his mouth every now and again.
We thought, well, how can we do this a little differently?
When there is downtime, which there will be downtime over the next six hours or so, we're going to see, can Dave Rubin, Beat Super Mario Brothers.
8-bit 1985 Super Mario Brothers.
Maybe we'll bust out the Duck Hunt 2.
We've also got a PS5 ready to roll.
I'm told Contra is up on there, and I've got four controllers, and I have young people in here who want to play me in that.
We'll see about that.
We're just gonna do zany, zany things, and I hope you're gonna have fun.
We have tons of great throwback clips and just weird stuff.
We also have a giant screen, by the way.
We have a giant screen upstairs in the home that I will get out of the seat and run to So that I can analyze other people on the giant screen, right?
That's when they have a giant screen at CNN, it's John King standing in front of a giant screen and white people in suburban...
We will stand in front of John King standing in front of the giant screen, do some stuff over there.
And we're just going to have some fun and drink some tequila and see what happens.
But again, I really, really thank you.
I can't overstate the importance of...
What this is tonight in America.
And we have a unbelievable guest list.
So let me just roll through the guest list for you.
It is really spectacular.
Oh, and you're gonna see a lot of people on cable news tonight with fake glasses to look smart.
You know I've made fun of them for years.
I'm wearing these occasionally for actual visual purposes because for six hours, if I'm sitting here, I do want to be able to read the things that are thrown in front of me.
We have an unbelievable guest list.
Really, I'm so impressed that we were able to pull this off.
We got Clay Travis, we got Dan Crenshaw, we got Xavier Durusso, we got Aaron Wexler and Emily, oh my God, Emily Wilson, Emily Saves the World.
We got Carol Markowitz, we got Gadsad, we got Lionel McGloin, we got Russell Brand, we got Adam Carolla, we got James Lindsay, we got Dr.
Phil, we got Tim Bilyeu, we got Dr.
Drew, we got Glenn Beck.
We have Sage Steel on location just for us, nobody else.
At Mar-a-Lago.
So hopefully she's going to bring in Tulsi and RFK and some others, but she's going to be in the mix of the party over there.
We have the wonderful Megyn Kelly.
We have Josh Hammer.
We have Alex Stein.
We have Viva Frye, Ben Shapiro, Jordan Peterson.
I mean, I just can't imagine a better list.
I cannot imagine a better list.
And that is to the backdrop, of course, of everything that I've been talking about lately on the show, but particularly this morning, that...
Everything that this election now seems to be about, this new wide tent coalition thing, and all of you that have come around and people that had Trump derangement syndrome that suddenly see the world in a new way, see him now as the guy that's defeating the evil monster and all that stuff.
It's like, this is what I've been fighting for.
So I do not know what is gonna happen tonight.
And I should say something else.
You're gonna watch an awful lot of people tonight.
And these experts who are gonna tell you things, and the experts, they are no more expert than you at any of this.
They study the data.
Oh, I saw the 538 guy, what's his name, Nate Silver, 538.
He ran 80,000, he just tweeted this, he ran 80,000 simulations, and it came back that Kamala Harris won 40,015 of them.
It's like, dude, dude, are you kidding me?
That is your analysis?
Do we have my analysis that we did this afternoon?
Do we have that yet, Conor?
The basketball analysis.
We don't have that yet.
We're going to get to that in a little bit.
I did my own statistical analysis, which we'll show you in just a moment.
We will have an election map up, of course, throughout the evening.
That will be live and on the fly.
I think we can show you that right there.
We'll have an election map coming up every now and again.
We've got Connor working 80...
Hours a day for the last three years, and you will be paid for it eventually, I promise you.
So we'll obviously be updating that.
Of course, the key states, the key states, we all know what the key states are.
The key states are specifically, it's Pennsylvania.
Everyone seems to think this thing is going to come down to Pennsylvania.
But obviously, Arizona, Nevada is important.
New Mexico is important.
Colorado is important.
We'll see about that.
From what I can see here in my own home state of Florida, from the early stuff that's coming in, it is going to be an Absolutely insane onslaught and just destruction of whatever is left of the Democrat Party, which is great to see.
We'll also show you some Kalshi betting maps and what's happening live on the fly there.
Do we wanna show one of those right now?
What is the betting market at right now?
We'll see if we can throw to one of those.
I think we have it right now.
So the betting market right now, this is from Kalshi.
It's got Trump up a little bit.
This is where I need the glasses.
What, it looks about 57?
What do we got?
58.42 to Trump on the betting markets right now, but these things are constantly changing.
And you know, look, we're just gonna have fun with a lot of this stuff because it's a lot of craziness and a lot happening.
And again, I just, I really want to emphasize, you guys know as much about this as half of the people that are wearing suits with their thick We're in this with you.
I really, really mean that.
And we're gonna eat some Wagyu Tri-Tip, and we're gonna drink some tequila.
Oh, and speaking of tequila, and Clay Travis is gonna be our first guest in about five minutes.
Clay Travis, who's really, you know, I don't mention Clay enough when it comes to the people that have woken up over the last couple of years, because Clay was kind of like a marginal apolitical sports guy, too, who's become a huge Trump person and fought against the media and built Outkick.com in direct competition with ESPN because they went woke and then he built them and they combined with...
With Fox News.
I should mention that what I have here in this bottle, this is Dave Rubin's tequila.
It is the first time it's being seen.
Now, obviously we don't have the label on the bottle yet.
I was hoping that we were gonna be able to launch the website tonight for you guys to do pre-sales.
There was a little hangup regarding the Mexican government and a UPC code.
Apparently it's all very technical and you're selling tequila.
So it should be out before Christmas for sure.
But this is what I've got left.
This is what I have left from the original case of Dave Rubin's tequila, and some of it will be drank tonight throughout the evening.
There's going to be a drinking game we'll get to and a whole bunch more.
But first, let's check in with the Harris campaign.
unidentified
How are you doing?
Have you voted already?
Give me a second.
You did?
Thank you.
Thank you so very much.
You know, it's so important that everybody participates, and I thank you, because I'm sure you've got a lot of other things you could be doing, taking the time to go through.
So she's on the phone pretending to talk to somebody.
You can't talk to somebody when you have your camera like this because the audio does not work.
This literally happened in the last hour and a half.
The woman is going out in a blaze of glory.
And look, she might win.
She might be the next president of the United States.
The woman who has the brain power of a third grader, perhaps, no insult to third graders, And she did coup with the sitting president, so I gotta give her a little credit there, right?
She did pull off something there with Nancy and Chuck and Brock.
But like the fakery of this entire thing, this insane cackle, this ridiculous, circular way of thinking with her, and the fact that at the end, At the end, we showed you on the live show today at 11 a.m.
that she goes up and it's such a stage thing as she shows up at somebody's house and, oh my God, you happen to be a Kamala supporter who happens to be a poll watcher?
I can't believe it.
And now she's faking freaking phone calls like you cannot imagine it.
Anyway, I mentioned all of these very serious people that have very serious data and they're crunching the numbers and they're carrying the one and they're doing all of this stuff with papers and pens and calculators and all of this stuff.
And we were discussing, well, what could we do to give people an honest assessment, like a real true percentage of what might happen tonight?
And I said to Brock, why don't we get out there on the basketball court and see if we can come up with something?
So enjoy.
All right, guys, about three o'clock here on Election Day.
Huge day for America and the world.
Our coverage starts at 6 p.m.
on the Rubin Report.
Tons of great guests, all sorts of stuff.
But, you know, cable news, they're going to have all these data scientists, people with thick-rimmed glasses telling you about numbers and percentages and everything else.
But we're going to do it the scientific way here at the Rubin Report.
I'm going to shoot 10 threes right now, and however many threes I hit, that is the exact percentage chance that Donald Trump has to win the election.
60% chance Donald Trump will win the election tonight.
See you at six o'clock.
I'm telling you guys, that is as good cracked analysis as you're going to get anyone else.
This dork, Nate Silver, at 538.
These people all think he's in such...
They hold him in such high regard.
And he's literally, I ran 80,000 simulations and it came back 50-50.
Well, there you go.
I hit the last three.
So this is our prediction.
We're rolling in with this to start the night.
Donald Trump...
Donald J. Trump has a 60% chance of winning because I hit six out of 10 threes.
That is as scientific and sensible as anything else you are gonna hear this evening.
I think we have Clay Travis on the line?
No, we don't.
All right, we're working on getting Clay Travis on the line.
In the meantime, we wanna show you a couple clips because it's one of the things that makes all of this so difficult to deal with.
Is that we are all so siloed in our own ways, right?
Like, I try to pay as much attention to media across the board as possible.
The people that I dislike, that I play on the show every day, I pay probably more attention to them than the people that I at least like.
Because you need to know what these people are thinking.
And in many ways, this election tonight, because this is the election of reality.
That is what we are electing tonight.
Is which reality are we going into?
Are we going into a reality that will have a flicker of the human mind, an individual choice, or are we going deep, deep into the matrix?
Like, we gotta figure it out.
That's what this is about.
But you know, if you watch CNN or you watch MSNBC, obviously people are in very, very different states of mind, but it's important to check in on them.
You know, recently I've been very interested in this woman, Dana Bash, over at CNN, because there's something about her I find deeply inauthentic.
They're all kind of inauthentic, but I always feel like she doesn't believe anything she's saying.
And here she is, this is just about an hour ago, she seems very concerned that not enough people got a chance to meet the real Kamala Harris over these last four or five months.
unidentified
I would say that 2020 was a historic turnout.
I mean, the highest since the 1900s.
So if it doesn't match that, who stayed home and why?
And I think so many of our questions will come to that.
Which group stayed home and why?
Donald Trump has been running for two years.
Kamala Harris has been running for 107 days.
So one of my big questions is, particularly with her candidacy, is whether that was just enough time to introduce herself to the country and to candidates who were dead set on voting for a Democrat, weren't so sure about him, or whether she could have used a little bit more time.
Oh, if we only had more time to analyze what's going on in Kamala Harris' brain, well, right now I'm going to bring on Kamala Harris' brain analyst, Clay Travis.
Clay Travis, I believe you are in Tennessee right now over at the Daily Wire studios with several other Kamala Harris brain analysts, a whole crack team of people studying the brain of that woman.
What have you found out via the research you're doing over there?
I am now dressed as an either circus performer who is going to look like he has had lions wrangled, or I'm going to be like the guy who paints his face and then his team loses and the camera pans to him and he just looks like the saddest SOB on the planet.
I don't know about you, but I am nervous.
And I was thinking about this as we sat down to talk, and I know I was in your studios down in South Florida, what, a couple of months ago.
But you and I, I feel like we're kind of on the front lines of people who had voted Democrat in the past and just had seen how the Democrat Party was losing its mind, didn't like identity politics, the woke attack on free speech.
And at a minimum, as we sit here on election night, the fact that we have added people like Elon Musk, Tulsi Gabbard, RFK Jr.
to our team, I think kind of is incredibly encouraging to me about where we're going in the future.
But my goodness, if Kamala Harris gets elected tonight, it is just going to be an incredible blow to the solar plexus.
Mike Tyson at the peak in 1980 style catching you without being able to protect yourself.
Right, it does feel like it's gonna be the knockout punch.
I hate to laugh at that, but I mean, that's what Elon's been saying, that in essence, it's not that we won't have elections.
We will have elections, but the system will have been so strengthened, so calcified against us that we'll end up like California.
And then why wouldn't they use the power of the state to go after X where we can express ourselves or the other, or say Rumble or Locals or whatever it might be, or try to take out the Daily Wire where you are, et cetera, et cetera.
Clay, real quick, I don't know if you saw this, we're getting breaking news right now, literally.
Biden, Joe Biden, the sack that, you know, was running for president that they cooed, that guy, he will not be attending Kamala Harris's election party tonight.
You think that's a bedtime issue or is that a signal?
One, they wouldn't let him come on the stage at the Ellipse when he could legitimately see the stage from the balcony of the White House.
And instead, they had him in the basement doing a Zoom interview.
So I think they clearly want him off the stage.
But the honest broker about this information is, to me, the takeaway.
That they probably don't expect a result tonight.
I think if they thought Kamala Harris is going to win that they would bring him out on the stage for his triumphant raise of the hands sort of wrestling or boxing style when somebody wins a combat sport and make him sort of glisten a bit in her sheen.
I think they are believing that this is going to go on a couple of days.
I hope they are wrong.
I hope we come out when, in a couple of hours, North Carolina and Georgia go Trump and we get a strong indication in Michigan and Nevada and Arizona.
But my concern is, you're old enough to remember this, some of the audience honestly isn't, I'm afraid that there may be a state that is akin to Florida 2000.
Where it's one state, it decides who wins.
I don't know how well this country would hold up compared to how we did in 2000 in a social media age if we have one state that decides who the president is.
How worried with that in mind, how worried are you that...
Everyone in America that is watching something tonight, whether you're watching me or The Daily Wire or you're on the complete opposite side of this thing and you're watching whatever they're showing at the mental institution or at the home, that will never agree on what happens tonight.
In some ways, it feels to me like, that's what I keep saying, that this isn't Democrat-Republican.
This is the election on reality.
That's what I said right before you joined.
Because basically, we now have two completely divergent worldviews that I don't see how you possibly arbitrage those things.
Yeah look and and I would say in the 21st century every election with the exception of 2008 has come down to essentially a field goal and when you have a game in a sports metaphor context that comes down to a field goal Ass kickings are clarifying.
If you get your ass kicked and you lose 42-3, you're like, we had the wrong game plan.
If you lose 20-17 in every race, you stare at it.
In 2004, you say, if you're Democrats, hey, boy, we've got to be better in Ohio.
And in 2000, you say, boy, we've got to be better in Florida.
And then meanwhile, Republicans come back and they say, boy, we've really got to be better in the Midwest states or we've got to worry about the bleeding that we're seeing in Arizona.
And when it's so close, it comes down to a couple of plays.
When you lose, and I've coached a lot of sports and I've lost a lot of games badly, Dave.
When you come off the field and you have lost by 20 or 30 points, you're not saying, boy, you know who really screwed us was that ref with that one call.
When it is in this magnitude and people don't trust larger institutions, I think the only way Kamala Harris can win, this is my take, is by an absolute white knuckler.
I am cautiously optimistic that Trump could pull away and that there still is enough of a movement in his direction.
I saw you tweeting earlier.
I thought it was a great point and I shared it as well.
Got some good responses.
I know a lot of people who didn't vote Trump in 16 and 20 and are voting Trump in 24.
I don't know a single person who voted Trump 16, 20 that's voting Kamala.
For better or worse, me and you have the exact same voting record.
We both did Gary Johnson and then Trump and now Trump again.
But what was interesting about the responses to that tweet, maybe we'll show some of them throughout the evening, is that the people that are voting for Trump now that have broken They are the most excited to vote.
Like they suddenly are seeing the world with completely fresh eyes that maybe you and I have now seen things for all.
It's not as exciting to some extent where they're like, they are just all freaking in.
Yeah, and look, this is one of the things I talk about with my wife a lot.
One of the challenges I think that's out there is, you know, when Ron DeSantis swept the floor with Gavin Newsom in the debate that they had on The Sean Hannity Show.
One reason he did that is because Ron DeSantis knows every argument that Gavin Newsom is going to make because they're well distributed and widely discussed in media.
Most people have no real idea what arguments you and I are going to make, Dave.
We know their side argument, and we can explain why our side is better, but we very rarely get to have these head-to-head conflicts where we're able to explain why we believe what we believe and why we believe our side is right compared to their arguments.
They don't even really engage with the arguments that we put forward.
They essentially just say, oh, these guys are Hitler adherents.
These guys are fascists.
These guys are garbage.
They're unintelligent.
No, I think actually Trump has the right side of almost every argument out there.
In fact, I would argue every side.
I don't even think it's that difficult.
The problem is a huge percentage of Americans never hear what we actually believe because we're so caricatured by their side of the media that it's impossible to tell.
Yeah, you know, I was at the rally at MSG last week, and to be there for over seven hours, I got there at about 12.30, I left about 9 p.m., to see the most joyous, America-loving, Orthodox Jew next to a Muslim woman in a burqa, literally, happy group of people, Praying, celebrating American flags everywhere, joy, and then to see the way the machine just flexes and turns it into a Nazi rally is incredible.
Clay, I want to throw to this video, I saw this right before we went live, because as I keep talking about this war on reality thing, you know that Gavin Newsom, who you mentioned, and many of the Democrats really want to censor the internet.
That's why Elon bought Twitter, and thank God he did.
And check this out.
So this is, someone created this.
It's AI replacing the words, our democracy, with our bureaucracy, via cable news host.
And listen to how different things actually sound.
unidentified
If the Democrats fail, it might be the end of American bureaucracy.
Like, that's first off a perfect example of why they want to censor the internet, why they want to take Elon out, why they hate AI, they hate all the things that are coming on the horizon.
But in essence, that made more sense than anything they say on their network.
Democracy is not at stake if Donald Trump wins.
Democracy explodes in the best way and a renewal of the American spirit comes.
They're the ones coming through bureaucracy for our democracy.
Yeah, look, it strikes the chords of incredulity for me for them to be arguing that the party that is trying to bankrupt, imprison, and kill Donald Trump is actually trying to defend democracy while simultaneously elevating a woman who had never gotten a single vote for presidency in her entire life.
And one reason why I think this election is so important, leave aside many other issues out there.
If Kamala wins, the lesson that Democrats are going to take is lawfare works and the American public respond to it.
And so we need to try to lock people up more.
We need to try to shut them down more.
Dave, you know what I think is going to happen if Trump wins?
I think he's going to get in office.
I legitimately believe this.
And I think he's going to pardon Hunter Biden.
And do you have any faith at all that Kamala Harris is going to pardon Donald Trump?
I don't.
I think they'll try to put him in prison for the rest of his life.
And once you cross that Rubicon, once you establish that if you lose an election, you and potentially members of your family and your supporters go to prison for the rest of their lives, we don't have a functional republic anymore.
And how many people out there that are otherwise very talented and would make great leaders are going to say, you know what?
I'm not putting my name in.
I'm not risking my family.
I'm not risking my wealth.
I'm not risking my freedom.
To me, that is why we have to win.
We have to send the message that this fails, that it blows up in people's face, and that one reason we won is because of the lawfare, not that Democrats were able to get to the White House yet again because of lawfare.
Look, I'm going to be on with Fox Nation a little bit later.
Do you know where I'm going to be?
Kid Rock's Country bar on Broadway in downtown Nashville.
So you want to talk about a wide range of potential outcome?
We're either going to have one of the most awesome nights that has ever existed, or it's going to be one of the saddest nights in a honky-tonk in Nashville in a very long time.
Wide discrepancy here based on how this night goes.
Fingers crossed.
I hope I'm not the idiot with the painted face in the lion wrangling jacket.
Can you imagine being in Nashville if this goes Trump's way?
Like, that is gonna be a fun town.
All right, guys, we told you we're gonna do, we got Congressman Dan Crenshaw coming up in a few minutes from Texas.
And Dan Crenshaw, let me tell you something quick about Dan Crenshaw, then we're gonna do some funny TikTok stuff.
Dan Crenshaw, when I was still on the fence about Trump, I was at a Turning Point USA event about five years ago, and Dan Crenshaw, it was in the middle of the impeachment thing, and Dan Crenshaw, who I liked a lot, was one of Trump's main supporters, helping him during the impeachment fight all of that bullshit.
And that night, I heard Trump speak at Turning Point in West Palm.
I hung out with Crenshaw.
I then met Trump later that night.
You guys know the story of when I met him at Mar-a-Lago and how great he was and everything else.
But seeing some of the politicians that I genuinely like years ago, like Rand Paul, who went hugely towards Trump.
Seeing some of those guys, Ted Cruz, people that ran against Trump go towards Trump.
That is some of the stuff that loosens up a lot of this for some of the other people.
But before we get to...
Congressman Dan Crenshaw.
I believe we have some TikTok videos that I'm going to react to live.
I have not had tequila yet, or anything else funny, if you know what I mean.
I did vote on No on 3 today, by the way, here in Florida.
I voted against recreational marijuana, which I explained, which actually Governor DeSantis explained to me yesterday.
But we've got some funny TikTok videos, and we're just going to throw them in, and I'm going to react live on the internet.
You know, even that right there, that just shows these guys are now, that's what they're afraid of.
The thing that they're afraid of most in many ways that Trump has broken through was the image of the old Republican was this stodgy guy in a backroom, you know, Mr.
Burns and his cadre of people in a rainy It's raining outside with the lightning going off and they're all counting their money.
They're burning their money at the fireplace and smoking cigars and drinking whiskey and all this stuff and that they only care about money and oil and war.
And then suddenly you've got Trump who completely blew that thing apart.
Then you've got J.D. who they kept saying was weird and yet he's just kind of normal and they can't deal with any of that.
So we're gonna throw in a whole bunch of stuff like that.
I think we have Dan Crenshaw coming on in just a second.
We'll bring Dan.
Yeah, we've got him right.
All right, we've got Congressman Dan Crenshaw on the line.
When you see a group that now includes, say, RFK and Tulsi, et cetera, et cetera, whether you agree with them or not, that clearly something else has happened here that would not have happened years ago.
I mean, what does that mean for the general platform of the party?
It's a conservative party, or at least it should be.
To the extent that you're adding this bigger populist wing, I don't think there's anything good to say about that.
Populism is liberalism.
There's no difference to me.
Yeah.
For campaigning purposes and disaffected liberals like Tulsi and RFK coming to Trump's side, great.
It's good for campaigning.
And look, it's not like nobody ever had any good ideas.
Maybe they bring some interesting thoughts to the table.
I don't know what they are just yet, but we'll see.
But I see that more as a campaigning personality thing than I do as a radical change in a party platform.
And the reason I say the word conservative and say this is the party of conservatism, or at least it should be, is because conservatism by its very nature isn't supposed to change that much.
That's like the whole point.
And I don't think it has.
I think Trump governs as a regular mainstream Republican.
I know people don't like hearing that.
People want it to be a different thing.
And his personality was certainly different.
And there were some policy differences, like a willingness to take on China.
But that was...
I would say that was kind of happening anyway.
That was sort of America as a whole waking up from this giant Chinese trick that they'd been playing on Washington for a very long time, and Trump was the guy who was calling it out, and it's great.
Definitely more of a skepticism on trade and unfair trade practices, which is a reasonable skepticism.
You've got to be careful with that, okay?
It doubles in the details.
You end up hurting a lot of American workers in the process of trade war, but still, it's It's something worth pointing out.
But does that make it a massively different party?
I'm not so sure about that.
You know, if I'm going to point fingers at a massively different party, I'm going to point fingers at the DNC. I mean, when I was on Bill Maher a couple of months ago...
Ted Cruz, you know, his race, actually, his Senate race, which we'll get some updates on, I'm sure, throughout the evening, was bizarrely close, because Cruz has done a really fine job, I think, in Texas.
And suddenly, in the last couple weeks, it's started to divide quite a bit.
So I think Ted Cruz will be fine over there in Texas.
All right, should we, what should we do?
Why don't we do a little more reaction stuff at the moment?
All right, we're gonna do a little more reaction stuff, and then we should bust out some tequila.
You can see throughout the evening, we're going to also show you something about age discrepancies and generational shifts in both humor and cultural attitudes. we're going to also show you something about age discrepancies I think that was one of them that we just saw right there.
I think, yeah, so the map, so nothing has changed.
Nothing has changed on the map, obviously, because nothing has closed yet.
Yeah, there is obviously some votes in, and Indiana's got something going on over there.
So there is some stuff rolling in.
My guess is probably within the next, well, probably the first, my guess is some of the first stuff probably closes about seven o'clock, and then we'll get something out.
We're being told that about 9% of the vote is in right now.
I have to say, Crenshaw, a little black-pilled on life right now.
Didn't offer us much on the Trump train.
I just don't know.
You know, it's interesting.
The interesting thing about Trump, and this is why people have so many confounding and conflicting feelings about him, is he sort of has become whatever you want him to be, right?
So I don't think he's like this magical hero, but I think in essence, he's kind of as close as you can get to one while being a person.
Like after everything he has been through, I think he has now stepped into the role of magical hero.
I think he is a real human just like me and you who bleeds blood and we saw it not too long ago, about four or five months ago.
But everyone wants to put everything on him.
They put all their fears and aspirations on him and everything else.
And in a functional society, we would have a...
Government that was kind of small and the politicians wouldn't have to be so braggadocious and over the top and everything else.
But this is the guy we need right now, right?
You don't get the hero you need, you get the hero you deserve.
Or did I say that backwards?
I think that was the Batman thing.
I think I did that right.
It was something like that.
Like we're getting the one we deserve.
All right, the Kalshi betting market is narrowing, we're being told right now.
It's now 55 to 45.
So Trump is still up.
There is a general feeling right now that early votes were pretty good.
That the male vote, and you could feel the other thing that they're trying to do right now is they really wanna set this thing up as it's a war between the sexes.
That if Trump wins, it's because of those evil men who wanted to control their wives.
And I had a couple interesting discussions just privately in the last week, I don't know many people that were supporting Kamala anymore or that voted Kamala, but I know a handful, I guess, and I know many, many people, to Clay's point earlier, that were anti-Trump, radically anti-Trump over the years that ended up voting.
For Trump this time around.
But you know, the one thing that seems to keep so many of the people stuck is this women's rights stuff, which is largely connected to abortion.
And without getting into, let's not do the whole abortion debate right now.
Everyone can decide whether they think it should be six weeks heartbeat bill, like we have here in Florida, or 12 weeks, which seems a little more reasonable to me.
What's unreasonable is what the Democrats want in places like Minnesota, where Tim Walz has no, as the governor, has no Limits on abortion or in California where there are no limits on abortion and all of that stuff.
But they've somehow combined abortion, which is ending a life.
They've combined that with women's health.
And you know, a lot of the babies they abort actually are girls.
They are females.
That's a real thing.
So you might want to care about them.
But also if you really cared about women's lives, if you cared about women's safety and all of those things, well, you might want to put the border on A little higher in that order of importance when you're voting because the people that are coming here, say MS-13, they're probably not too great to women.
So you are another interesting character, someone that people might say is not stereotypically what a conservative or a Republican is supposed to be, all of that BS nonsense, you know, very kind of factory setting thinking.
But you're out there trying to convert people and I think making a dent.
When I go around in L.A., so many people come up to me and say that they are so grateful that I'm saying all the things that they feel like they're not allowed to say, but that I'm unapologetically saying.
And you're seeing more and more people being tired of being lied to or tired of being gaslighted.
Is that the weird thing that's going on right now, that the Democrats, yeah, they've got the machine, they've got the celebrities that somehow, you know, there's like a long slew of celebrities between what's-her-name with her wet you-know-what in the bucket and all that, that weeks ago wasn't gonna support.
Kamala then comes out and supports, or Usher, who weeks ago said he wasn't gonna support, then he comes out and supports.
Like, there's some weird stuff going on there, but it's kind of running real thin right now.
Like, young people don't seem to care.
Wait, who is the wet bucket woman?
What's her name again?
Cardi B, Cardi B. Like people don't seem to care about her and her wet bucket and the wet bucket and the thing.
Does the Karis campaign even research these people that they're bringing on stage?
Because Cardi B just a couple of years ago was bragging about how she was drugging and robbing men all through her stripping career to get to where she is today.
Is that really the person that you are going to use to try to win over the Black and Hispanic votes?
It's honestly embarrassing.
They don't try to bring someone who is an intellectual with an impact in the young or minority communities.
They instead bring someone who is textbook definition of illiterate to go up there and represent Kamala Harris.
And honestly, her entire speech was so embarrassing, it might have costed Kamala the campaign.
Yeah, I mean, for people that didn't see it, we showed you a portion of it.
I mean, the teleprompter went out and Cardi B literally stood there, had nothing to say, could not say a word until they handed her the phone.
And then she, yes, was able to read off it.
But it was just, the fact that you can't, as a performer, just get up there and speak freely just from your heart for two, three minutes is just such a condemnation of all of them.
As a black man, let me ask you the stupid question, as a black man, there's been a lot of talk, you know, with Obama kind of pandering to black men, if you don't vote for Kamala, you know, in essence, sort of what Joe said, you ain't black.
It's that sort of movement.
I mean, that has just got to be the worst.
And by the way, we see this with the gays and a whole bunch of other minorities.
It's just kind of the worst pandering there is, isn't it?
How dare you in 2024 reduce me to the expectation that I need to think with my skin color to tell me that because I have extra melanin in my skin that I have to pretend to be uneducated enough to think that Kamala Harris is going to Do justice for our country is insane.
But it shows just how outdated the Democratic Party is when it comes to what Black people are discussing.
We are over this notion that fear is our Achilles heel.
For way too long, they weaponized fear to keep us in line and keep us believing all of the different narratives that they put on us.
But we're tired of that.
We have moved on from that.
And that's the thing about Donald Trump is I look at him, I'm like, yeah, he might be a little bit of an a-hole sometimes.
He might offend you and your entire community.
But at least we're not becoming North Korea.
At least we know what to expect from Donald Trump.
And at least we know that he overall has the interests of every single American in mind and in his heart.
So that is what we're focusing on is what is actually going to change for us rather than Barack Obama lying to us and the ovarian version of Barack Obama peddling the lies that Obama fed to her.
I'm being told that we have video of Melania Trump.
I have not seen this before.
we have to throw to it right now.
She's been indoors with sunglasses all day.
People are wondering what's going on with that.
What's going on with Melania indoors with sunglasses?
You know, one of the things that people think is that they somehow hate each other or that she's this kept woman or something.
And I don't know if you've ever heard me talk about it, but when I met them at Mar-a-Lago, I saw them together and I saw them holding hands on top of the table, her hand on his.
He kept referring to her as honey and I said something to him about what I thought was happening with the Democrats.
And he said, honey, honey, you should hear this.
And I was like, that's not a man who hates this woman.
Asking her opinion on something.
And the way she responded to him was so obviously that they don't.
But it's all just, we've just created these characters, right?
First of all, Melania wearing the sunglasses inside, that was just her serving looks.
That was a fashion statement.
I think it was Rob Smith that said it best.
It is an injustice that we did not view Melania Trump as a fashion icon enough all throughout Trump's first presidency, because she could have been our Princess Diana.
But that being said, it's like people try to make up these fairytale versions of what they think of Trump and Melania's relationship and thinking that they know every single detail.
It's like, please, especially those of you who are married or been in serious relationships, you know that there might be situations where you don't want to hold hands or you might be a little annoyed with each other.
I mean, I definitely think there's gonna be some progress here in Orlando, but there's way too many adult Disney kids here, and I think they're too busy living in fairytale land to switch over to the Republican Party.
We're going to get through the first board before we bring on Aaron Wexler and Emily Wilson, who are doing some great work on their podcast, by the way.
And we will continue with World 1-2 in just a moment, but I think I'm I'm gonna bring on Erin Wexler and Emily Wilson, Emily Saves America, and non-lib take.
You were a PlayStation girl, a little younger than me.
What do you make of what's happening right now?
What do you make of what's happening in the world right now?
You've been doing all these videos, sometimes with Aaron, sometimes solo, sort of like hitting this new kind of like female empowerment thing in the right sense.
Like go out there, you're allowed to be hot and like dudes and dudes are allowed to like you and there's nothing misogynistic about it and that the other side is just sort of hysterical and mean and out of shape and bitter and all of that stuff.
It's funny because people forget that there's girls who are obviously Republican in California, but they also forget there's a lot of women in very blue states and very blue cities that are living very conservative politics and have conservative values.
Not every woman in a blue state has a blue hair, works at a blue bottle, and has abortions every year.
But it seems like an awful lot of them do have some of that.
Do you feel like there's this, I was just talking to Xavier DeRusso, I don't know if you heard, but I'm sure you know who he is.
You know, he's under the impression, and I've heard this from an awful lot of people, from younger people, Isabel Brown talks about this a lot, that the 20-something crowd really is gonna break very hard from the woke, that they got kinda hit by it the most in high school, in college.
And they're gonna break the opposite way, probably in record numbers, if not right now, at least as they get older.
I see how a lot of these girls saw someone like Alice Cooper and they're like, oh, she's famous and she makes all this money and she interviews these celebrities.
But I think these girls are waking up and being like, hey, the messages that these girls are pressing are actually extremely harmful as they're pressing drugs and alcohol and sleeping around and all these things.
And I think these girls are starting to realize that maybe that's just not fulfilling and that's not the life they really want.
So I think they're starting to finally feel free because maybe they see girls like me online who they can relate to and are a little bit more younger and normal and they live in cities and they're like, well I'd rather be like her than like these girls and she seems a lot more normal and more relatable.
Emily, it has nothing to do with Super Mario Brothers, but we have actual election information that has just broke.
Donald Trump has won Kentucky and Indiana, so neither one of those are surprises.
Obviously, the numbers will keep rolling in, but he is the projected winner of those.
And it looks like Kamala Harris has won Vermont, so we've got three.
We've got three.
No surprises so far.
What are you expecting to happen tonight?
Like, do you think we even get a result tonight?
A lot of people seem to think that if we get something in the first couple hours, that kind of bodes well for Trump.
But the longer this thing drags on throughout the evening, or certainly into tomorrow and the rest of the week, that it just gets worse and worse for him.
So I apologize to any viewers if this is grainy quality or if I break up at all.
The service isn't great because I'm here in the convention center right near Mar-a-Lago where thousands of Trump supporters and Trump team folks and just other Florida people are going to be hopefully, God willing, celebrating in a few hours.
So hopefully if he wins, I assume he does the acceptance thing probably at Mar-a-Lago or if they said that he'll do it there, that's like the offsite party, do you know?
Emily, talk to me about the white dudes for Harris because we played a couple of their videos and I have never seen a group of asexual people who couldn't get a boner if their life depended on it.
We're not doing family friendly and it's not even 8 o'clock.
Yeah, so I ran into them and they are just as insane as you would think they are.
It's also so funny hearing from a man who wants to quote-unquote protect women, protect daughters, that was what he posted, but hopes random ones are sexually assaulted.
You know, what's incredible about that video is you were in West Hollywood, and West Hollywood, with their rainbow crosswalks, I thought they were supposed to be diverse and lovely, and everyone's supposed to be great and wonderful, except all you did, as far as I could tell, was put on a red hat, and next thing you know, he literally was like, you should get raped, and you were basically like, what?
And he's like, yeah, you should get raped.
From what I understand, he's deleted all his social media accounts.
Well, I really, I just got here, and so I didn't get the lay of the land, but I wanted to get in for our segment because I thought it would be exciting.
They're handing out a, hold on, sorry, it's chaos right now.
On-the-ground coverage, very exciting.
We have free MAGA hats.
Sorry, I'm really bad at this.
Free MAGA hats in case you needed one at this point, although I didn't bring one in.
I wasn't sure what security would allow.
But people are filtering in.
It's still early in the night.
We have a long night ahead of us.
Hopefully celebrating in a few hours again.
Actually, I heard what you and Emily were discussing when I first signed on.
I was having some trouble before.
I actually think, I sort of disagree, and we'll find out what the numbers are after the election, but I don't think that the younger vote is necessarily going towards Trump.
I think a lot of it certainly is.
But I actually just think this time around we're going to see a lot of people who are not voting.
That's what I think we're going to see.
I know a lot of people who just cannot vote, but they would have been voting for Kamala.
They voted for Biden in the past.
They never have voted for Trump.
So we know a lot of people who switched over to Trump.
We know a lot of people who were Biden last time who are not voting at all.
But it's a lot of first-time Trump voters.
I don't know a single person who voted for Trump in 2020 who is not voting for him this time around.
I mean, I talk to a lot of people, especially I talk to a lot of diverse people in LA, obviously, from different industries, from fashion, modeling, real estate, politics, whatever it is.
And I don't know one person who went from voting Trump to voting Democrat, especially because anyone that was left-leaning or middle loves Kennedy.
So they're going to vote for Trump as well.
The crazy thing is, I think we're forgetting about a huge party, which is the silent party.
The party that lies as well.
This is all my friends who are in the LGBTQ +, that are in movies, that do stuff with Netflix, that work at corporate companies.
They are all lying about who they're voting for, or they're secretly voting for Trump.
I feel like if I had started planning two weeks ago instead of two days ago, I could have somehow snuck in a suitcase.
But listen, tonight, either I'm in the exact right place and we're partying, or we're all swallowing cyanide pills, and I'm not sure which one is, you know, which it's going to be.
And at this point, I feel like it's like you studied for the test, and now you still have to take it, but you know you studied as much as you could.
And that's really the mood here tonight.
We know we did everything we could.
And thank God, thank God Kamala Harris went after the unattainable Muslim vote of Michigan instead of choosing Josh Shapiro for governor of Pennsylvania.
We'd feel very differently right now if she actually had a brain and didn't hate Jews.
While I go to the big screen, we have some incredible, I believe we can call this breaking news.
Would we say this is breaking news from local affiliates around the country?
Local affiliates around the country are constantly breaking important stories.
We all know this, and you guys know I love when local affiliates do the good work that must be done, these small news stations reporting on things.
We're going to show you some local affiliates breaking some important news while I run out of the garage and up the stairs into the theater and then I will be in front of the big screen, in front of someone else talking in front of the big screen.
I was going to go downstairs, and then we said, no, change the channel to the televised mental institution known as MSNBC, and get in front, and they show a map, and they break down the map, and they get it very, very granular, and then they mostly tell you why white men, especially middle-aged white men, middle-class middle-aged white men, are the devil.
That's mostly what he's focusing on right here, and you can see he's Right over here.
unidentified
There's a lot of things happening over here, and it's very serious stuff over here.
That's, I think, is a good picture of Donald Trump.
That's pretty good.
So Donald Trump right now has 19 electoral votes.
I guess he's got Kentucky and Indiana so far, unless something else happened.
And Kamala's got, what has she got?
She got Vermont.
So what's that?
That's got to be like six or seven.
And what are we seeing here?
Oh, so she got three.
There's only three over in Vermont.
Donald Trump won 61% of the vote in...
What happens when you stand in front of a giant screen?
That is a projector right there.
Kamala Harris, as you can see, this is her face, nicely shaped hair.
Kind of goes like this.
I feel like if I was a woman, that's the kind of hair I would have.
I would do the hair like this with a little bit of up right there.
Donald Trump had a perfect comb-over for him right there.
And Trump's got about 80%, with 84% in Union County, Georgia.
Back to Mario00:04:28
unidentified
All right, guys.
This is just the beginning.
I'll be back up here analyzing that man with his electronic devices in his pockets, all of the numbers, the maps, the colors, the thing that's going this way over there, and much, much more.
But I've got to get downstairs right now.
Super Mario Brothers.
Come on!
I am!
Hold him tight.
I am!
I am!
You got it.
I am!
Oh, it's okay.
All right.
All right, Joni, you got it.
First and last name, please.
Erica O'Donnell.
And can you spell first and last?
F-I-R-S-T-L-A-S-T. I met you first and last night.
Well, the sign says that it's four quarters for an hour, but a quarter only gets you 15 minutes.
The kids were not happy that I didn't stop and play with them for a little bit, but that's what we do over here at the Rubin Report on election night for you people.
I ignore the children so that I can run upstairs into the theater, have a very bright light shine in my eye, and make fun of people over at MSNBC. That's Different than happening on any other channel you're watching across the internet right now.
We've got the New York Post, Carol Markowitz coming up in just a couple minutes.
We're connecting with her.
She's an interesting one who also moved to Florida the same exact week I did, came from New York, was very public about what they were doing during lockdowns with her kids and everything else.
And we've become fast friends and she's a true fighter for Florida and for freedom.
So we'll talk to her.
In just a moment, she wrote a great book about children and what the education system and the teachers' unions and everything else have done over the last couple of years, along with Bethany Mandel.
Should we bust it?
You know what?
Let's run back to Super Mario Brothers, because I'm only at board one-two.
Yeah, you know, from your lips to God's ears, Dave Rubin.
I think that a lot of Jews have woken up.
Obviously, I think that the number should be way higher than it is.
Donald Trump got 30% of the Jewish vote in 2020.
I've been predicting 38%.
But in the recent days, I've heard from so many liberal Jewish friends who would never in a million years vote for a Republican, that they voted for Donald Trump, that I'm now You know, I say I'm drinking the over 40% Kool-Aid.
It is that the Jews that are voting for Democrats largely came to America at the turn of the last century.
They missed the pogroms in Russia and Ukraine.
They missed World War II. They had no strife.
They have no idea what's out there.
You get immigrant Jews like me who came here from the Soviet Union in the 70s and 80s and into the 90s.
You get Iranian Jews, you get Iraqi Jews, you get Israeli Jews, you get Syrian Jews, you get Jews from places where they have experienced strife and trouble and they get what a threat is.
I think those Jews have voted Republican for a long time.
So what you're seeing now is this post-October 7th that even the Jews who have been safe in their Jewish life in America their whole entire life and for generations Have woken up and seen that maybe those crazy Jews who arrived here from crazy places were right.
Maybe that we need to make changes in who we vote for.
And we need to go with the side that not only supports Israel, that's a part of it, but supports us as Jews in America, lets us defend ourselves.
That's such a big part of it for me.
And, you know, really wasn't out there celebrating on October 8th, one of the main things, I think, for a lot of Jews.
What do you make of, I know your feelings on this because we talk about a lot of this stuff all the time privately, but how radical the Democrats have become.
That it's not just like, oh, there's a few of them that are kind of nutty, which is what people thought maybe ate.
Six or eight years ago, that it largely has overtaken the party.
Obama, just in this last week, again, repeating very fine people, lecturing black guys, like just the endless pandering.
You know, I mentioned the Latino vote, and as I said it, I was like, should I make the Latinx joke?
But that's not even really done anymore because they realized what a vote suck that was for them.
There was a study that Latino voters were literally turning against Democrats because of the term Latinx.
Let me tell you, that term was everywhere a few years ago.
My son, who is now 11 when we lived in New York, you know, we were coming up on the three-year anniversary, came home from school one day saying Latinx.
So it was everywhere.
The insanity was everywhere.
I had someone say to me today, you know, because all this conversation about the male vote, the female vote, oh, you know, since when do we care about gender, right?
But somebody said to me on Twitter today, I made the joke, I was told men could get pregnant, and they were like, no, you weren't.
No, you weren't.
We weren't?
Now we weren't told that men could get pregnant?
What was the whole last few years all about?
How am I a birthing person if men can't get pregnant?
So I think that they're trying to dial it back because they see what a loss it is Look, if Kamala Harris pulls it out tonight, that means no lessons will get learned.
And obviously they'll go right back to pregnant men and Latinx, you know, doing their thing.
But I don't think that's going to happen.
And I think that they should take a lesson and try to get back to sanity, try to be more normal.
It is a picture of Jill Biden as she walked out of the voting booth.
I don't know that we have one of Joe Biden walking out of the voting booth.
And we're also, I don't know if you heard this already, but apparently Joe Biden, regardless of whether Kamala wins or loses, will not be at her acceptance speech or her concession speech tonight.
I mean, the fact that she comes out in a red pantsuit, what is Jill Biden trying to tell us?
Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if they Did vote for Trump.
I think we're gonna hear some amazing stories of these last few months in the Biden White House, once obviously the pressure's off from trying to get Kamala in.
We're gonna find out what really went down, what they really thought of each other.
That America as we know it, we really can't get it back.
I mean, I think a lot of us have been thinking, you know, post-COVID that eventually things would get back to something like normal and we live in a bubble here in Florida where things are flourishing and great.
But that the national project, in effect, the thing that your parents brought you to America for, you know, just within your generation, your life, would be over.
It's so tough because I do feel this sense of protection in Florida that I would love to extend to friends and family in blue states.
But the fact is that even if Donald Trump wins tonight, which I hope and think that will happen, It's tough to say that the blue states will even fix themselves then, because they'll just double down on being part of the opposition to Donald Trump.
They'll go back to being the resistance.
I mean, the fact that Washington, D.C. boarded up the windows of restaurants and bars and stuff tonight, they're expecting trouble if things don't go the way that they want it to.
Right, they're not expecting Trump supporters to rampage through DC. They're expecting Kamala supporters to rampage through DC. But my point is that civilization is very hard to save when it's already starting to decline.
I hope that this election could turn things around.
I hope Donald Trump wins.
Get on the right foot to head back to where the American project should be.
But I'm worried about these states even if Donald Trump wins.
I don't know that it's going to be as easy to claw back as we might imagine.
And I think as we let in, let's say, more illegal immigrants Millions and millions of people have come across that we don't know anything about them and they don't share our values and all of that.
It will get harder and harder for us to get back to where we hope this country will be.
Again, I feel very secure in Florida.
I wish that other people felt that security in their states.
And I hope people vote in their local elections.
I hope they make changes in their local elections as well.
Yeah, let me just add to that real quick, which is that, you know, in the area of Miami that I'm in, we had a whole bunch of ordinances and propositions and straw polls and all of these things.
And I made sure, and I made sure that David was well aware of all of them.
Go in there, and at least you have some degree of control of that if you think that the federal thing is completely out of control.
Carol, I don't know if you saw it, but it went across the chiron on the bottom while you were speaking a moment ago.
Trump has won South Carolina.
Not much of a surprise there.
Carol, I have one other question for you.
Which is, you are one of the few people, I think under 20 people on planet Earth, who have tasted Dave Rubin's tequila.
And we will, I'll text you probably in five minutes so we can continue this while I'm doing some other stuff.
All right, we're gonna bust out the drinking game right now because I shouldn't be the only one that has to drink tequila around here.
This is the official Rubin Report election night drinking game, and I have no doubt that you guys have your drink of choice.
Do we have the image up right now?
Let's see what we've got.
So the election drinking game is this.
Here we go.
You are to take a sip of your drink of choice when the news throws to a chart guy.
If you're watching MSNBC, you're gonna be drunk in a half hour because they love these chart people.
They've got people in front of maps constantly, any kind of chart.
They just love it.
And they will tell you things that somehow they didn't know five minutes before as if they are exactly true.
It's incredible what they're doing over there.
That means you have to take a sip.
You also have to take a sip every time someone on mainstream media says that democracy is under attack.
Oh man, people are gonna be wasted, wasted.
You also have to take a sip if CNN's pet Republican is allowed to speak.
Well, that probably won't happen very often.
So for that one, you probably, you know, they fired, what, two of their pet Republicans.
They fired Ryan James Gerdusky a couple days ago, or what was it, a week and a half ago for a silly beeper joke, even though the heart of what he said was completely true.
So that one, probably not too bad.
And then you have to take a shot, which by the way, I do have the official Dorothy Sbornak B. Arthur shot glass here.
Where am I looking?
Where am I looking?
Oh, I've got to go over here, right?
Somewhere over here.
Somewhere over there.
Over there.
There we go.
I've got the Dorothy Sbornak.
Look at that.
Look at that zoom in on the lens right there.
Shot glass.
Right there.
And Dorothy's Borneck, why would you be drinking out of a Dorothy's Borneck, shot glass, Dave?
But Dorothy was a classical liberal in The Golden Girls, often talked about classical liberalism, the ideas of classical liberalism, and I have no doubt that she would be a Trump supporter now, so I thought that would be appropriate.
So you have to take a shot every time a lesbian is on MSNBC, and that includes Mark Cuban, so that could be big.
Every time Donald Trump and fascism are mentioned, that also, that's gonna happen a lot.
When Maricopa County has election problems, I assume that's happening already.
Of course, that's in Arizona.
And if a celebrity is shown endorsing a candidate, you have to take a shot.
People are going to be under the table.
You have to finish your drink.
When a swing state is officially called, so that has not happened yet as far as I know, when a former presidential candidate is interviewed, that'll probably happen a lot throughout the evening, and when Trump or Harris gives a speech, which I don't see either one of those happening probably before midnight.
It is gonna be a long night.
And then the team felt that we should put, please drink responsibly in there.
Frankly, I don't care how you drink.
You know what I mean?
You do what you gotta do.
What do I care?
But they said put that in there, so you know.
You do what you gotta do.
I believe we have something to throw to right now.
And this involves, I think, a woman.
No, no, this involves a man.
This is a male Kamala Harris supporter.
Oh, oh my.
Do we have it?
Do we have it?
Let's see if we have it.
We're gonna grab this.
We have a male Kamala Harris supporter.
They do exist, apparently.
And he's gonna be very emotive over something.
I haven't seen this before either.
Here we go.
unidentified
Who'd you vote for today?
I voted for Kamala Harris.
Why is that?
I have three daughters, four children overall, and women's rights is pretty important to them and my daughters.
Sorry, I'm getting a little emotional about that.
I didn't think that I was going to do that, but just their bodies, their choice type of a mentality.
I want them to grow up in a world that's welcoming to everybody.
It's like that sort of, as Gad said, who will be on the show later, calls suicidal empathy, that these people have, it's good to have empathy.
It's good to have empathy and feel the pain of your co-citizen, your friend, your family member, but not suicidal empathy.
And he's so concerned of my body, my choice, but as a Democrat voter, he probably was for forcing people to be injected with things.
When the state came around and said, you better force your daughters to get injected with an experimental vaccine that actually isn't a vaccine, he probably was for it.
I think actually one of the reasons that they went so hardcore with the vaccine on kids was they knew once you allowed the state to force you to inject your kid with something, you could really never turn against the state, because then you look pretty damn evil.
You'd have to really look in the mirror and be like, holy shit, I did not do my duty as a parent.
I did not protect my child from being injected with God knows what.
Oh, and now they're having some sort of side effect, or if it was a young male, That they're having myocarditis or whatever it might be.
But again, this is what they've done.
They've made this into a bizarro sex war where you have sort of These marginal neither here nor there guys, and I don't mean to make this about this one specific man, I'm sure he's a perfectly fine human being, but they take these guys and they're like, oh, you've got a wife and daughters.
They're coming for the women, they're coming for the girls, and they're not.
You wanna protect women, you wanna protect girls, how about close the border?
How about make sure that the cities are clean and that there aren't drugs and homeless people on the streets so they don't get accosted?
How about make sure that people can't just walk into your house and take your house?
Right, which these are all things that are happening, right?
It's just absolutely crazy.
We have something out of CNN right now.
I believe it involves Jake Tapper.
I am always interested in Jake Tapper because people always say, when you say, they'll say to me, Dave, you're always making fun of CNN, but CNN has Jake Tapper.
He's not terrible.
Well, here's Jake Tapper.
unidentified
Trump is winning them by 11 points in these early exit poll results, 54% to 30%.
Jake, four years ago, Joe Biden won independent voters in Georgia when he won the state by nine points.
So we've seen a swing of...
20 points towards Trump in terms of the margin from 9-point advantage four years ago with independence for Biden to now an 11-point advantage with independence for Trump in Georgia, Jake.
Wow.
They're a giant.
And, Dana, that is really significant.
We see some incremental changes here and there when it comes to young voters.
And what I like about hearing independent voters, it's not saying white people, black people, people with a limp and somebody who's got a lazy eye.
It's saying independent voters, people who aren't part of a party, who maybe have sort of a mix match of different political opinions, never found a home in either party, that they are now breaking in massive ways.
I mean, that sounded like almost a 20 point swing from what happened with Biden in Georgia last time.
That is absolutely huge.
That's actually indicative of hopefully what we will see more largely throughout the evening.
But I just mentioned my friend Gad Saad, the sexiest man on the internet.
And I also note that you're not hiding under the desk.
You're usually hiding under the desk because somebody, Donald Trump is coming for you or some other horrific figure is coming and you're hiding in the desk and your wife is often in the distance making sure that you're being fed well and that you're okay.
I don't know if you heard my previous interview or what I was talking about, but I mentioned a phrase that you have been bringing up quite extensively lately.
I think you are, if I'm not mistaken, your next book is gonna be about it, but you've written about it and we've talked about it before, suicidal empathy.
And that really seems to be the affliction across the West That is driving the liberals, unfortunately, to kill us all.
That empathy has become the most important piece of the hierarchy.
Can you explain maybe when you first saw this and why you think it's so dangerous?
Because I think it's perfectly indicative of what is happening with this election right now as it comes to the intersectional alliance that the left is trying to put together.
That's exactly the topic of my next book, Exactly Suicidal Empathy.
So look, many emotions make sense when they are triggered within certain ranges, right?
So take, for example, OCD, obsessive-compulsive disorder.
It is a maladaptive firing of an otherwise adaptive process.
Now, that sounds like a mouthful, so let me explain it.
It makes perfect evolutionary sense for us to check that the back door is locked before we go to sleep.
But we check it once, we make sure it's closed, and then we move on.
OCD is the hyperactivation of that mechanism.
I'm stuck by the door, rechecking and rechecking for the next eight hours.
So there is nothing wrong with empathy.
It's a laudable, virtuous emotion to have.
The problem arises when it hyperactivates.
And it targets the wrong people.
So, for example, when it comes to immigration, to spend all of our capital of empathy on illegal immigrants over American vets would be a manifestation of suicidal empathy.
To argue that all immigrants are alike, because people will, for example, write to me, well, why are you against immigration?
You're an immigrant.
Your buddy Elon Musk is an immigrant.
Well, that presumes that all immigrants are equal, just like George Orwell said, all animals are equal except some are more equal than others.
So suicidal empathy is simply the maladaptive application of an otherwise adaptive emotion.
Because it seems to me that if we just had a certain set of people that maybe were a little too empathetic or a little too emotional or whatever, that that could operate functionally in a society.
But it seems to me that it has been weaponized to the point that everyone else now is Hitler, everyone is a racist, Donald Trump showing up at MSG is like Hitler in 1930, whatever, all of the stuff.
And it seemingly has taken over an entire...
It's not even electorate.
It has taken over an entire segment of the population that will gladly import people who will behead them.
In Quebec, by the way, the Quebec government is perfectly happy to let in hundreds of thousands of Muslim immigrants as long as before they behead you, they say bonjour.
So as long as the beheadings happen in French, then it's all good because at least we've protected our linguistic heritage.
But to come back to your point of how that happened, let's draw an analogy with football, right?
What you're trying to maximize to win a game is to score more points than the other team, right?
Everybody agrees that that's the rules by which you win.
Imagine if somebody came along and said, no, no, no.
I have to simply hold on to the ball more than the other team.
That's what I use for me to win the game, right?
And so this is what's happening in the West.
It's no longer about protecting our foundational values.
The highest goal, the most virtuous objective that you can achieve is to be orgiastically empathetic.
So let's say they acknowledge, boy, these empathetic people, they're getting a whole bunch of us killed and they're importing all of these people and something's not good here, but they instead choose to bury their head in the ground.
If you presume that it is completely gauche and inappropriate for you to ever criticize someone's religion, then you become bound to that rule of conduct, right?
So it doesn't matter how much evidence slaps you in the face to argue that maybe Islam might be more inherently violent than say Jainism.
I'm unwilling to admit to that and therefore metaphorically I bury my head in the sand and presume that it hasn't happened or I look for alternative causal explanations.
So I can show you a list of 40,000 terrorist acts that have been committed Since 9-11 alone in nearly 70 countries, and then Bill Nye, the science guy, will say that it is climate change that's causing this, or it's lack of art exposure that's causing this, or it's the Zionist occupation.
So all causal explanations are okay as long as you don't blame the noble faith.
That's ostrich parasitic syndrome mixed up with suicidal empathy because I want to be empathetic to that religion of the noble brown people.
We're doing a bit of the sad greatest hits here, but I do want to do one other because this is election night and because I have seen something really extraordinary.
I was just talking about it with Carol.
So many liberals, former, let's say, New York Cali liberals, whatever that meant, moderate Dems, who for the first time are breaking towards Trump right now.
One of the phrases that you've talked about that has stopped so many people from doing that over the years is that they consider Trump an aesthetic injury.
And I really like this.
And I think it's something that finally a certain set of people are getting over this idea that, oh my God, he eats ketchup with his steak that's well done.
But that's not the only part of the aesthetic injury.
Before I let you go, in that you are up in Canada, and it seems to me that Canada actually, joking aside for a moment, Canada actually is in far worse shape than America is.
Would you like to give a warning to some of our American friends who, I don't know if anyone, well, everyone's basically voted if they're gonna vote at this point, but just to the American that is kind of unsure or doesn't quite see what I think you and I see the dangers to be in the world at the moment?
A middle class family in arguably the highest income neighborhood in Canada.
By the way, my sister lives in that neighborhood, so I know it very well.
This is not a humble brag.
It literally is the case that every home is a castle.
So it's such nonsense that she says, so the warning to the United States, unless you wish to emulate the trajectory that Canada has taken, I hope that you've made the right choice tonight.
I mean, I've always said though, you know, I just think conservatives really, like Donald Trump, he's just never had the experience of being with a Honduran guy.
Their stamina, you know, they can go under high duress.
And they're just absolutely incredible.
I mean, so I think if Trump was with the Honduran guy and most conservatives, they would see, I think it would totally, she would actually not only would you rather be with a legal immigrant, she would just be with one, I think.
All right, guys, as we roll into the 8 o'clock hour, we've got, oh, we just, are we switching it up?
I'm told we have Jordan Peterson at 8 o'clock, and then I think we're going to have Russell Brand after, so we somehow are going to go from that to Jordan Peterson, but that's what happens on election night on a free Whelan-Rubin report all happening live.
But I think we're going to have a couple, we have a couple clips that we're going to play and a few other things.
Should we jump back to, I paused Mario right before we jumped in with Gad Sad.
Oh, this is very important.
You know, a lot of people are focused on California these days, that it's the lost state, you know, that horrible things have happened to California.
And I fled California, as you know, and many, many people have left California.
But Sonoma, Wine country.
It's one of the great places that still remains in California.
Well, if grapes don't be quite your thing, you can come and spend the day listening to live music, eating international foods, having wine tours and tasting, vineyard tours, seminars, arts and crafts.
I told you guys this was gonna be an election show like no other.
That was the first, I think that was literally the first video, viral video that I saw on the internet where I was like, oh my God, the internet's a cool place.
It's not just for a bunch of weirdos, although here we are and it kind of turned out that way.
Did you ever think when you were a simple clinician 20, 30 years ago that you would be hanging out with all these right-wing maniacs in Nashville on election night at the precipice of the end of Western civilization?
Well, one of the things that we have noticed with the crowds, I would say, is that they're more put together than they were six years ago.
So most of the people who show up, maybe it's because the ticket prices have increased in price.
You never know.
But I don't think so.
I think the reason is that most of the guys who show up now are much more put together than they were six years ago.
They've got their acts together.
They're aiming up.
They have...
They bring their girlfriends.
They bring their wives.
They often bring their children.
They have positive stories to tell.
They're much more put together.
And I think, Dave, that probably corresponds with that movement that the New York Times even reported.
And you know that something like this has to be happening if even the New York Times will report it.
There's quite a marked influx of young men, in particular, back into traditional religious organizations.
And, you know, they're leaving the universities in droves, obviously.
It's about two to one women to men now in universities.
And the question is, where are they going?
And one answer to that seems to be back into the houses of worship, which is a very strange phenomenon, you know.
We don't want to underestimate the significance of this, and I think it'll be highlighted more.
The reasons for that are highlighted more, I think, in this new book that I'm releasing on November 19th, which is called We Who Wrestle With God, and I'm making a case there for the validity of the stories in the biblical library and their insistence on sacrifice as the basis of community, which I think is Technically, scientifically, and theologically accurate, rather than power.
We're in a revolutionary time, Dave.
That's why there's such a culture war going on.
There's all sorts of ways it could go.
It could go in the direction of hedonism.
It could go in the direction of power.
And it could go in the direction of nihilism.
The alternative is a revolution of tradition.
And I think that's partly what the Trump campaign has been tapping into, especially in the last month or so.
You know, because it's a very funny thing to see with regards to what's happening with Trump, because he's got these remarkable people around him, and they're entrepreneurial revolutionaries with a very traditional view of the world.
Has that been the most surprising part of all of this?
Because you obviously don't come from a political background, yet you've become an astute political analyst.
But when I saw you a couple of weeks ago at the Rescue of the Republic rally, I'm watching you and Russell Brand on stage basically doing a wrap-off about sort of the existence of God at a political rally where you've got everyone there to support RFK wearing MAGA hats.
We definitely live, what do they say, in the most preposterous of all possible timelines.
But that's all an indication that there's something major shifting way down in the tectonic plates.
And it is a restructuring and reformulation of...
The fundamental story on which Western civilization and free societies themselves are predicated.
And I can see that popping up everywhere.
I mean, one of the things that I try to lay out in this new book, for example, is the revolutionary realization from many different disciplines that we necessarily see the world through a story.
I think that that's already established well enough so that it can be considered a scientific fact.
That's Being discovered by people in at least five different, separated disciplines.
Artificial intelligence, linguistics, literary criticism, psychology, neurophysiology, they all point in that direction.
And that's a lot of convergent evidence.
And so once you understand that, and it really is a revolutionary development, it invalidates the propositions of both the empiricists and the rationalists.
And I think to some degree that means the end of the Enlightenment.
I think that's what we're living through right now, is something like the end of the Enlightenment.
And that could be a catastrophic collapse into something like hedonism and power or nihilism.
But it doesn't have to be.
It could be A revolutionary restoration of the story on which the West and freedom itself is predicated.
And I think there's a non-zero probability that that's the interpretation that will win.
Because to me, we are now on his hero's journey story.
I don't know if you saw it, but yesterday at his closing speech, he had Megyn Kelly on stage giving the best defense of him that I think I've ever heard.
And yet it's only nine years after the first debate where he was saying, you know, she bleeds out of her whatever.
And I thought, wow, what an incredible story here.
They were at opposite ends of everything.
So many of us were, and now they've been completely aligned on all of this.
And it seems that his story has now become our story.
Well, you know, one of the things that's very strange about this election at a deeper level is that it's, you know, it's DEI Barbie against the old patriarch.
And that is emblematic of itself of a massive division in the culture.
And Trump Trump is a pretty good representative, I would say, of the flawed patriarchy, right?
I mean, he's bombastic.
He's entrepreneurial.
He's bombastic.
He terrifies people with the possibility that what he's truly after is power.
And then set against him is this new, you know, the first black woman president, which is everything the DEI people could possibly hope for, who's the champion of the oppressed and the marginalized.
And so this isn't a normal left-right competition by any stretch of the imagination.
Is Trump the last hurrah of the traditional patriarchy?
That's certainly one way of looking at things.
I'm hoping he wins because I think Trump, especially given the people he's aggregated around him, I think Trump can do things.
And the problem with bringing the margin to the center is the margin isn't competent.
And so the problem with that for the margin is that If you center the marginalized, let's say the first thing you destroy is the margin, not the center.
It obviously happened to Trump and Musk and Gabbard.
And I mean, in a sane world, Vance would be a Democrat, not a Republican, like in the world of 40 years ago, right?
Because he's a guy who struggled up from the working class to take his place.
And it is definitely the case that Well, the left, it's certainly the rise of the progressive left that has made me into a conservative insofar as I'm a conservative.
It's like, look, guys, you've gone way too far, not only as far as I'm concerned from my position of privilege, but with regard to your own interests.
And I think you can see the fact that the majority of people, for example, who are transformed surgically for their gender, as a consequence of their gender confusion, The fact that a majority of them are gay, that's a perfect example of how the multiplication of the marginal destroys the margin first rather than the center.
Well, I'd like to think that, except the field of psychology itself and the way it's taught has also fallen completely prey to the woke mob.
I mean, in Canada now, it's increasingly difficult for university programs that train clinical psychologists to become accredited as educators in that realm unless they have a social justice orientation.
And I think we're in a situation where The realm of clinical practitioners probably does more harm than good now because it's been so invaded by the woke mob.
I mean, this is a real conundrum for conservatives, right?
Because conservatives are generally for institutional preservation, but the institutions are so bloody captured that it isn't obvious what to do with them.
I really can't see how the universities can be rescued.
So now you have, in essence, the liberals, the lefties are defending the institutions.
They wanna keep them alive, whether it's the CDC or the NIH or Columbia or Harvard, and you have the conservatives now- Or the legacy media.
So that was where I wanted to end this with you, because I know you've got to get over to Ben and the rest of the guys.
But for years, you and I have been talking about this.
The tension that has existed between the legacy media, corporate press, mainstream media, whatever you wanna call it, and the online media.
And now with Elon jumping in and opening up X and the fact that this election to me is way more about the war on reality that we are all a part of more than say, are you a Republican or a Democrat?
How long do you think a society can hold when so many people Actually live in different worlds because we're all holding a phone that's giving us different information.
Well, I think that part of the reason there is a move back to more traditional forms of worship, let's say, among young men, is the counterposition to that.
You know, Dave, people tend to find their way.
I mean, one of the things that I think will happen, too, is that live events will become much more valuable, right?
Because they actually bring people together physically, plus you know they're real.
You know, we're going to adapt to this weird dynamic AI-fueled virtual reality.
I don't know how that's going to happen.
God only knows because things are changing so fast you can't even tell what's changing.
The AI landscape is shifting so rapidly and the robotics landscape as well that whatever you think the problem is at the moment is very unlikely to be the problem in a year.
You know, even with regards to teenage overuse of cell phones, you know, I mean, we've only had cell phones that we could overuse for about 10 years.
And I don't imagine it's certainly possible that we won't have them at all in 10 years, that they'll be replaced by something entirely different.
We have no idea.
And so, how do you adapt to a technological front that's transforming so rapidly that you don't even know what's changing?
I think you do that by returning to some degree to the eternal verities, because I don't know what else can possibly ground you.
Well, then I guess my final question to you would be connected to that, which is for all of the people tonight, regardless of what side they're on, if they're watching this show, I tend to know what side they're on, but regardless of what side you're on, if you're watching this thing tonight thinking, oh my God, the world is about to completely spin off its axis if I don't get the outcome that I want, What would be your ultimate message to them?
Okay, so my question in essence was this, regardless of what side someone's on politically, and obviously most of the people watching this are on, let's say, one side of it, for everyone that's just feeling this unbelievable tension right now, that it really could be it in three hours, that they're gonna lose everything that they know, that society will never come back, and everything else.
I think you've sort of illustrated what you think is the out on that, but what would be the sort of most comforting thing you could say to someone if they don't get the outcome they want tonight?
Well, I would say you're morally required not to lose hope and despair.
Right?
It's a sign of courage to maintain faith in the future.
And it's a sign of faith to assume that if you are committed to Doing the right thing and pat and following the pathway of truth that things will work out for you as well as they can and I don't think you should underestimate the power of that I mean you put together for yourself a very rich private life for example and you have that as a Buttress let's say a fortress against the insanity of the outside world and you know that and so I would say you know if the macro world
Doesn't sort itself out according to your desires then you can retreat to some degree To the more private and micro world, and you can do everything you can to set that straight.
You know, if Trump isn't elected tonight, you still have a thriving business enterprise and a family.
You have people around you that love you.
You can focus your attention on that and continue to work on the political front.
And there's no reason to despair.
And four years into the future isn't that long a period of time as well.
So, you know, you're required morally to maintain faith in the future, regardless of the evidence at hand, let's say.
We did a little psychological analysis of the American electorate, and his main takeaway was that we're That we're gonna kind of be okay.
But here you are, I believe you're in Florida right now, in the free state of Florida, and you've become quite an astute political analyst here in America. and you've become quite an astute political analyst here in Annualer level.
Jordan's take, unsurprising to you, was in essence that if you think that tonight, whatever, if we get the result that you don't want, so if Kamala wins tonight and you think that the world is over, well, as he said, first off, the next election's only in four years, but really what he said was, you still have autonomy over your life.
You have autonomy over your family and your job, and yeah, they can hit you on every which way and every side of the whole thing, but there are some things that you control.
I mean, in essence, it was clean your room before you clean the world.
But we've all engaged in so much hyperbole on both sides.
We all saw Elon Musk on Rogan saying, if Kamala wins, X is going to shut down, he's going to be foreclosed upon.
Did you hear the bit where he said, one of the bits that struck me was when he talked about the Stalin torturer-in-chief who said, show me the man and I'll show you the crime.
Yeah, and when Mike Pence, I know you've spoken to, said to me, when people say democracy now, they don't mean a process of representative electoral procedure.
What they mean is a set of institutions that they're in control of, whether that's the media or the judiciary.
And I've got to tell you, I'm I am pretty scared.
I spoke to Dana White, not today, like another day, and he said, you know, get up on November 6th, there'll be a normal day.
It's like, you know, JP saying there.
But it's difficult.
Like, we've participated, haven't we, in escalating this sort of hyperbole in this sense of tension today without content.
Sometimes the sarcasm can be a little angrier maybe than I want it to be or something like that.
In some ways, to me, we're fighting something that is so deeply dangerous that is the unbelievably never-ending, always-growing Marxist idea that is so historically evil that If I've engaged in a little hyperbole along the way,
which I undoubtedly have, I think sometimes it's kind of, it's sort of why when people are like, oh, I like Donald Trump, I don't like the way he talks, that I find that that, it kind of runs thin with me at this point, because it's like, you gotta fight however you can, something like that.
I felt like egalitarianism, the principle of equality, was very important.
I felt the biggest threat that society in the world faced were powerful corporations and only the state, a state that responded to the will of the people, could oppose the titans of capitalism that were set to take over the globe.
Over time, I've come to realize that what the state has been trying to do since the advent of Mark, but probably from earlier than that, is replace, and this is Jordan Peterson territory, God in our lives to have absolute power.
Now, because of the advance of technology, there is the ability for omniscience through surveillance.
We're present through the devices that we all carry.
And the sort of control of our consciousness through this deep programming we're all encountering.
You'll have seen those memes, Dave, of like, you know, if you Google, where can I vote for Kamala, someone comes around to our house and drives to a voting booth in a limousine.
unidentified
And if you say, where can I vote for Trump, someone comes and kicks in the ass.
And what I'm starting to see is that social democracy leads to totalitarianism, unless it's minimalized.
I still think you've got to work out how to take on massive operations with nefarious goals, but I don't think it's by empowering the state because they're too lined up with it.
Where are you at in terms of just pure hope of that this thing will, whatever goes right means to you, that it goes right, and that we can get out of some of this?
The problem with me is I'm a pretty impressionable person.
So if I'm going for my ex-feed and I see you being optimistic and then see Tucker being optimistic, then I'll be like, oh, okay, yes.
Then if I watch something else and I see people that believe that Trump's a monster in the manner that you just described, saying, yeah, we've got this, and look, their rallies are crap.
I start to get concerned because I truly believe, I watched your videos where A brilliant video where you appealed to liberals that said, like, you know, just look at the facts now.
Look at the people that are aligned with Trump.
This is not Trump of 2016.
Look at what's happening with surveillance and censorship, the degree of control that's being asserted in the name of protection.
Look at the shallow vacuity of these cipher candidates that they're putting up before us.
I thought it was a brilliant video.
I thought we did a great job of that.
Do I feel hopeful?
I'm too easily in.
I'm too easily straight.
Like, I could open the course just two hours, and this is without drink or drugs.
There could be points where I'll be ecstatic, and there are points where I might cry.
Well, there is a little tequila here, and in the 30 seconds we have remaining, do you want to tell people what happened when you were at my house a couple weeks ago involving a glass of tequila?
Well, you know, it would mean we would probably hit our saturation point in the next four years and then we would revert back to something that worked.
You know, California is ahead of the United States in terms of the dumpster fire S show.
Probably Canada's five years ahead of California is kind of the way I look at it.
So we know where this thing is heading.
The question is, do we stop it before we bottom out?
I've talked to people a few times about this.
Like, clearly, California is not going the right direction.
When is enough going to be enough?
And everyone always says, we haven't bottomed out yet.
And then I always say, but why do we have to bottom out?
I would say, I said to Tucker Carlson once, I said, if you walked into your son's room and you found syringes everywhere and methamphetamine and cocaine, would you get them help?
Or would you wait until you walked in and he was flatlining and you had to hit him with paddles?
To me, seeing the syringes and the cocaine and the heroin is enough for an intervention.
And yet, Callie doesn't go the intervention route.
And a guy like you, who is one of the most, you're one of the, I would say, the most functional, well, certainly comedians that I know.
I mean, you're a contractor as well.
You build things.
That's your background.
And yet you live in a place that doesn't seem to do these things right.
But do you think that if, let's say Trump wins tonight, do you think it does send a signal to California, like maybe clean up your shit a little bit and that things could maybe turn around because of an external force hitting Callie?
I mean, as we all know, politicians are spineless cowards who just lick their finger and put it in the air and try to figure out which way the wind is blowing.
I mean, we've all seen all the footage of Kamala Harris saying she was against fracking and she's going to shut down offshore drilling.
And is that the thing that you think maybe has brought more people to Trump than anything else?
That it's just like, we actually do believe that he says what he believes.
It's not that he doesn't lie about crowd size or exaggerate or sarcasm or off color jokes, but like, in essence, it's like, you see what you get, you get what you see, and that's good enough for most people.
You know, if you really think about the problem Ellen got into several months ago, it's because she pretended to be nice and she was actually a mean person.
Marge Schott, the woman who owned the Cincinnati Reds, I believe it was, was mean her whole life.
And everyone knew she was mean.
And she acted mean.
And she didn't make bones about it.
And we kind of left her alone.
And George Steinbrenner owned the Yankees.
And he was a mean dude.
And everyone knew it.
And they did a bid on Seinfeld about it.
It was fine.
It was...
Bill Cosby pretending to be America's dad and turning out to be Bill Cosby, and it was Ellen trying to be the nicest woman in the Queen of Nice, who turned out to be the Queen of Mean.
That's what we don't like.
Even Lance Bass I'll talk about your tribe for a second here.
You might have just blown someone's mind with that news about Lance Bass.
But putting that aside for just a second, Ron DeSantis just tweeted this out.
This is great news for the people of Florida.
It doesn't affect you, but you might appreciate it.
Amendment three, which was gonna legalize recreational marijuana.
I'm not against personal marijuana, and I believe if you wanna just get the card, go get it.
Amendment three was gonna put it in that it was a constitutional right recreationally.
That failed, which I'm very happy to hear.
And Amendment four, which was basically gonna completely upend everything that Florida's done on abortion.
We do have the Harpy Bill, six weeks, it's a bit much for me, but they were gonna basically turn it into something that was gonna have no limitations, more like Cali.
Yeah, people like sanity, they like rule of law, they like order, they like education, they like good neighbors, they like clean streets, they like a small homeless population, they like a closed border.
If you're not a criminal, you should like the police.
I mean, that's kind of who we are and we strayed so far away from it and we let this sort of lunatics and especially all the transgender stuff and men competing in women's sport, All things COVID, we let a handful of nutjobs hijack our society and we sat by silently because we were scared to say anything because you would be ostracized.
If you even asked questions about COVID or transgender or where the virus emanated from, possibly not a wet market.
And I think the same people Really, it was the same people that got cudgeled into going along with insane ideas, and that's starting to wear off.
Adam, I have one more question for you, very important on this election night.
We discussed this on your show, but I'd like my audience to know about it too, because when I was in LA about two, three months ago, I took a bunch of people out to dinner and it was you and it was Dr.
Drew and Sage Steele and Dennis Prager and Larry Elder, Michael Shermer.
And you sat next to David Sachs from the All In Podcast, former COO of PayPal.
I think he's a billionaire, certainly has hundreds of mil.
He's done okay.
And I was paying for dinner.
Everyone's welcome to buy whatever, have whatever they want, fancy a steak, Wagyu, get the most expensive tequila.
Yet you turned to a billionaire, David Sachs, and you asked him if he would share a potato with you.
And I just want to know once again what you were thinking when you did that.
All right, we got Brett Weinstein coming up in a couple minutes.
I think we're gonna throw to the election map right now.
What do we have going on?
Are there any updates?
Has anything crazy happened yet?
So Trump, okay, so there was a little bit of movement, but again, still everything right now.
I mean, and you really, you know, it's so interesting as the night goes on and we get to look at these maps a little bit more, what you really do see is that for some reason, the liberals seem to live on coasts by water.
I guess they want an easy escape.
And generally, in the landlocked areas, you're gonna see more of the red stuff.
We're getting some Senate results that should be in in a little bit.
I'm gonna go out on a really crazy ride here and assume that Rick Scott won.
Oh, well, there I have it right there.
So Rick Scott here in Florida, which of course, again, just because the Democrat Party has been just demolished here Rick Scott won.
The Democrats did put a decent amount of money into getting rid of him.
We'll find out about Ted Cruz in a little bit.
Jim Justice has won in Virginia.
And Joe Manchin, he won, I assume.
Oh, Joe Manchin lost.
Oh, so Jim Justice beat, oh, okay, okay.
Sorry, I'm reading a lot of things at once.
unidentified
Joe Manchin who retired, Jim Justice beat the Democrat.
Joe Manchin who retired, Jim Justice was the Republican who beat the Democrat out of West Virginia.
So interesting things happening.
So that's plus one now on the Senate side for the Republicans tonight.
So that's good.
So look guys, so far, What are we?
We're about two and a half hours into the coverage right now.
I don't know how many shows you're flipping between and watching.
Hopefully you're just staying here with all of us, but between some of the guests we've had on, some of the zany stuff and the odd videos and the Nintendo and everything else, I think you're seeing, what I think you're also seeing beyond whatever happens electorally tonight is we are now officially seeing the rise of the new media, that you don't need to watch CNN and MSNBC with their plastic puckered people And their ridiculous, overly studied data to get actual true information.
I think listening to Jordan Peterson or Russell Brand or some of the other people that we're going to have on and have had on already is going to give you just more insight and pleasantness during an evening that can be pretty freaking stressful, though I happen to think at the moment it hasn't been too stressful because it seems to be working.
Oh, we're going to take a one-minute break so that I'm able to use the facilities, and we're going to make sure everybody in here is well-fed and doing okay.
How about some gaffes from the man that they kicked out of the office of the presidency, and then we'll be back in about a minute.
unidentified
He wants to be the president of the United States again.
Think how crazy it is that not only is that man still president right now, but they pretended in the first place that he could run and that, oddly, he actually would be better at this very moment than the woman that they installed or that she went around him to figure out how to make this all happen, etc., etc., however you want to analyze it.
Let's jump on with my old friend...
I'm gonna say former lefty, but I'll let him say that for himself if he wishes, Brett Weinstein, formerly of Evergreen College, now professor in exile, Dark Horse podcast, Rubin Report party attendee last week, and great hair on this guy.
I feel like this whole election in many ways is a culmination of so many of the things that you and I have been talking about for a long time.
Me sort of first with the why I left the left and then you particularly in this last year about how to create an alliance that will fight against this evil machine.
And that's what you did with Rescue the Republic.
And I suspect you're feeling pretty decent tonight.
It must be tough to be an evolutionary scientist because you're basically always looking around the corner.
I mean, is that sort of how you view all of this, that even in the moments where it feels like it's kind of working, you're already thinking about the next thing they will do?
I think it's completely warranted.
We discussed it last week with a whole bunch of interesting people.
But it's also like it's got to keep you just generally on edge in life, right?
One of them is you do tend to be looking a little farther down the road and there are a lot of things that can go wrong.
On the other hand, it simplifies a lot because at some level this is all game theory and it's very easy to get overly tied up in the particular details of who said what, but that's not really what drives the system.
So the thing that everyone knows about you, I'm jumping all over the place just for brevity's sake because we have so much going on right now.
The thing that sort of put you on the map, of course, was what happened at Evergreen, which really was the most lefty sort of progressive school in the entire country.
Have your politics changed?
I would say your alliances very obviously have changed, but have your politics changed amidst all of this?
I mean, now clearly supporting at least the Trump movement.
You've got to break it down into a few different pieces.
My values are almost unchanged.
There are a few places where I've rethought some things, but in general I think the values that I held were the right ones.
And frankly, they're the values that has me aligned with many people who would call themselves on the right at this moment.
I have changed my position on a number of important issues.
But overall, I would say, you know, it's become a cliche, but...
The left-right distinction has lost its meaning.
My feeling was always that what made our system work was a tension between the noble impulse of good, honest liberals to make things better and the correct restraint imposed by conservatives who better honest liberals to make things better and the correct restraint imposed by conservatives who better appreciate So the system works when those two things are actually keeping each other honest.
And I still believe that we're not going to conserve our way out of our current crisis.
We are going to have to get to a place where we Do recover the values that we are currently destroying.
And then we're going to have to figure out how to carefully bootstrap a new way that addresses all of the novel hazards that we now face, which are things that the founding fathers couldn't have understood or anticipated.
And so it does fall to us to figure out how to responsibly manage the new reality.
So Brett, I want to back up for a second because Barack Obama just tweeted this and I think this is a perfect tweet to show you relative to the way you look at the world.
This is just in the last few minutes.
It took several days to count every ballot in 2020 and it's very likely we won't know the outcome tonight either.
So please keep a few things in mind as you make your voice heard today.
Thousands of election workers around the country are working hard today.
Respect them, thank them.
Don't share things before checking your sources.
Let the process run its course.
It takes time to count out every ballot.
Brett, I think it's very fair to say that if he was feeling confident about what's going on, there's no way in high hell he puts that tweet up.
Do you think that that's them foreshadowing that this thing isn't getting wrapped up tonight and they need some time to figure out how to do it?
Yeah, my feeling is something has decided that it likes complicated elections.
It likes elections that are drawn out over long periods of time, court battles.
It likes bizarre constraints like a lack of a requirement for ID to cast a vote.
And the, you know, an honest team wouldn't need any of that.
An honest team just simply needs a system in which votes are unambiguous and are counted in the normal way.
And yes, very occasionally you run into a system where you're so, or a situation where you're so close that things have to be counted, you know, by hand because the margin doesn't allow you to extrapolate.
But that should be a rare circumstance.
That shouldn't be every election.
The Democrats have become the party that...
Wants to hold open every mechanism for cheating in an election and then dare us to point it out.
So I frankly resent President Obama stepping in as if he's the adult voice of reason in the room when, frankly, he said nothing about the fact that his party has nominated a candidate who literally can't function absent a teleprompter.
Who quite literally nobody voted for before all of this.
So what do you do when you see the machine, or whatever you wanna call it, when you see it recalibrating right in front of your eyes, what's the best tactic To me, that's a signal.
Obama just sent a signal out into the ether, which is, oh, we probably don't know the results tonight.
Again, he's probably only doing that because he thinks that his side may lose.
So what would be the best way to actually deal with that, actually incorporate that, see it for what it is, and then move forward with it?
Well, I think a lot of us have started to point out that For some reason, one of the parties loves the discretion that comes along with a drawn-out electoral process in which nothing is standardized.
And I think we just have to watch the process like a hawk.
It is absolutely a requirement of democracy that one party not have an advantage because it's simply more willing to cheat.
And I'm afraid as embarrassing as it is as a lifelong Democrat to say that the blue team does seem in love with power and willing to cheat, obviously cheat.
It certainly cheats before we get to the actual voting.
Is it willing to continue that process in I see no reason to doubt it.
It's harder to do, but I certainly wouldn't put it past them.
So as they carve out that room to cheat, we have to point out what it is courageously and not put up with it.
Brett, I don't know what your plans are for the rest of the evening, but perhaps we should get you back in a couple hours, because if we see some more shenanigans, I'd like to get your take on it.
But I've got to jump over to James Lindsay and Dr.
Phil.
So I thank you for your time, and I'll ping you in a bit.
I think we'll have James on just, we'll have James on in just a second.
We're a little bit tight right now because at nine o'clock, so in about 10 minutes, in exactly 10 minutes, we're gonna do a cross stream for a half hour with Dr.
I mean, you probably, I reference you on my show all the time.
You've been on the show a million times, but I reference you all the time because it seems to me that you have, I would say, probably the most, the widest breadth of knowledge as it relates to all of the tactics that we are fighting from the Marxists or the communists or whatever you may wanna call them right now.
Are you confident that this might be our full-on assault against them and it might be happening in real time right now?
I'm kind of keeping an eye on the results so far, and it looks like even Virginia is tipping red at the moment, which even if it ends up going to Harris, nobody expected that.
Nobody expected Virginia to really be in play, but it looks like it's really in play.
Georgia is kind of, at the moment at least, it's not two in the morning in Fulton County yet, but it seems to be running away for Trump.
And it's actually very exciting.
This might be happening.
I still am not entirely positive the election is going to occur.
I haven't settled on that much As far as the outcome goes, will there be an election?
I don't know.
But I think we're getting close to there being an election and I think it's looking actually potentially good.
But yeah, I think in the long run we can be okay.
No matter what happens tonight, although it would be far better, obviously, if Donald Trump won, but we have to react correctly.
No matter who takes this tonight, no matter how many weeks before we know the results, we have to react correctly because, like you said, I know their tactics and their tactics are provocation and we're going to be provoked no matter what happens.
Not to sound like Tucker Carlson at the moment, but we need to stay like a cool-headed, calm dad who's in control, more or less.
And we're not going to flip out.
We're not going to take rash action, but we're also going to hold the line.
Even if we win tonight, many things will occur.
We can expect the leftist hooligans to take to the streets at some point and go bananas to try to provoke people to go vigilante back on them.
We shouldn't do that.
We should hold the line.
We should bring law enforcement into it, and we should take care of it more responsibly.
We can expect...
We can expect a major media push.
We can expect a major move to destabilize Trump's presidency or even to refuse to certify him before his presidency.
And again, we have to hold very firm, very steady, and we have to be lawyered up, ready to fight this, not with a bunch of craking lawyers, not with a bunch of grifters, but with some serious attorneys who are ready to make sure that this goes through legally and cleanly and this doesn't turn into street violence.
We have to dedicate every ounce of effort we have in every single state, in every single local community, to putting up bastions of resistance against a federal government that we have every reason to believe will be every bit as bad as what we see in England right now and probably more desperate and more dangerous and worse.
And so we have to very tightly hold on to power at the states and to wield that power responsibly to fend off a globalist nightmare and a federal government that will be out of control.
James, my friend, as I just said to Brett, I'm sorry we had to do this so briefly.
Let's get you back on the show for a proper interview soon because, again, I think you have a way of analyzing this with deep knowledge of what we're up against.
And that's why I always appreciate what you're doing.
And I really appreciate the fact that as a lifelong lefty atheist, you have found common cause just like I have with a whole bunch of people that maybe years ago we wouldn't have.
And I think that that's what is so exciting about America right now.
Apparently, I've never been on live television before, but Apparently sometimes I don't watch the news because I'm a kid and apparently every time grandpa just gives me a remote after we watch the Powerball.
Tell me about the ride.
What did you think about the ride?
Well, it was great!
Why?
Because apparently you're spinning around, and apparently every time you get dizzy, because all you do is get dizzy.
Is it fun?
Yeah.
And I've never, ever been on live television.
I've never, ever been on live television.
Are you excited?
Yeah, and apparently I already went down the super slide.
When I went down alone, I was scared half to death.
I just freak out.
Harry's screaming.
I meet my McDonald's.
I come outside.
I see this girl going nuts, trying to get out of her house.
So I go on the porch.
I go on the porch, and she says, help me get out.
I've been in here a long time.
And like I say, my neighbor, you got some big testicles to pull this off, bro, because we see this dude every day.
Oh, brah, it's just like, dude, you get the best barrels ever, dude.
Just like, you pull in, and you just get spit right out of them, and you just drop in, and just smack the lip, whoopah, drop down, snap, bah, and then after that, you just drop in, you just ride the barrel, and get pitted, so pitted, like that.
Surveillance tape is catching a routine morning at this gas station on Bannister until chaos erupts.
I was putting one more tap of coffee in my coffee cup and out of the corner of my eyes I saw two guys come in, one with a black hoodie and one with a white hoodie.
And the guy with the black hoodie said, we want your money, everybody up front and down.
And I'm like, oh!
Oh, why do I need coffee now?
The guy in the black starts coming down, and I'm like, don't look, don't look, don't look.
So I'm putting my hair down, you know?
And he comes right to me, and he goes, get down now!
And I go, yes, sir!
And I just drop to my knees.
Then I hear, boom, boom, boom!
And I'm like, oh, my God.
So I back farther and farther away, and I think, maybe I should faint, but I don't.
And so then I'm thinking, count to 2,000 again.
So I did, and then I go, me amigos, me amigos.
Nobody said nothing.
I'm like, oh, my God, they're dead.
Can I ask you, if you won all the money, what would you do with it?
He's a man of integrity, an intellectual rigor, a compliment, a moment of expression.
unidentified
Consummate.
something he's avoided over the years.
The week kicked off with a sit down on ABC is first following the disastrous debate.
- We have, I mean, I guess, anyway.
I don't want to take much credit, I insist that. - Their concerns about your age and your health are growing, so that's why I'm asking to reassure them.
But I will also say that I'm really enthused about where I sense people are watching the news right now.
They are tuning out of corporate press in droves.
They're watching you.
They're watching me.
They're watching plenty of other people online.
And it's not to say we're all perfect at all of this and there's a learning curve with some of it.
But I think part of what has been so wrong with everything in America over the last couple of years Is that the news media has gone so completely out of control.
And I think we're seeing a little bit of a course correction tonight.
I fled from California during COVID, and I moved two businesses and multiple employees.
I brought about 20 people here.
And I'm not shocked that Florida went red, obviously, but Miami-Dade, where I am, which really was the blue center of what has become a very red state, has now become redder than red.
I mean, there, in effect, is no Democrat party here anymore.
And that's not to say that that's the healthiest thing for a system.
I mean, I think the healthiest thing for a system is that you have two somewhat moderate parties that disagree mostly on the size of government, and then there's a healthy tension between them.
What we have in Florida is we've now decimated the Democrat Party because of good governance, largely because of Ron DeSantis during COVID and then subsequently everything that's happened.
And then because of the migration into the state where we've taken in About a million people in three years, which is an extraordinary number.
People are not doing what they used to do, which is, you know, these people would flee California and then vote for the wrong things in, say, Colorado or Montana.
Here people are coming from, you know, they're coming from Cali, they're coming from New York, and they're voting the right way.
And that's why we have a thriving economy in Florida.
We're building homes at unbelievable rates.
Our infrastructure projects are fast and efficient.
And so that's not surprising to me, but to see something that consistently works, consistently work, it's always nice to see, if not surprising.
Well, I would say the immediate pressing issue is that we're going to, regardless of who wins, I obviously want Donald Trump to win, but regardless of who wins, and I really do hope we get the result tonight one way or another because I don't think it's good for the country or any of our psychological or spiritual health if it goes anything beyond tonight.
But I think the first thing is that we're going to have to, I'm not a big fan of just saying, you know, these platitudes like, oh, we need unity.
I don't think you necessarily need unity with everyone, but we do sort of need Most of us to believe in the system and that the rules work and they're equally applicable and everything else.
So I would hope that virtually everybody will believe that the results were legit and then we can kind of go on from there.
I would say, putting that aside, putting the immediacy of the election aside, The most important thing at the moment is we have to return to meritocracy in this country.
I think that that is what Trump sort of caught on to almost by mistake in a weird way.
We have to just get back to a place where your race and skin color and your gender and your sex and all of the immutable stuff that none of us really want to be judged on, that stuff should not matter.
And unfortunately, the Democrats went deep with identity politics.
It took over many of our institutions.
It has completely wholly infected the Democrat Party.
And until we get over that, until we decide, hey, you will get a job because you're the most qualified.
You will get this opportunity because you work the hardest and not because of some other nonsensical attribute.
Until we get over that, nothing will work.
We will build worse things across the board.
Whether it's literally building worse airplanes or a worse military, or it's that our doctors will be less qualified, and quite literally our janitors will be less qualified, and that's not good for anybody.
Well, you know, I couldn't have said it better myself, and as you know, that's why we named Merit Street Media Merit, because it's all about Hard work, added value, and talent.
And I think that's what we have to focus on.
And I really hope that's what people vote for when they make the votes that they do.
And you said it really well.
And listen, I look forward to talking to you again soon.
I hope we have a new president.
Tonight, as you do, and things go the way of supporting the kind of meritocracy that made this country what it is today.
So maybe we can talk and celebrate that very soon.
So I thank you for coming on, and I'm going to tell you that we're getting ready to call Texas right now, where I'm sitting right now in Dallas-Fort Worth.
So you can add this one to your list as we part right here because we're getting ready to let Lindsay call Texas.
Well, no, because it's resting on some paper, and so I didn't want the little tea light to overheat, and then all of a sudden we've got breaking news here at the channel.
You know, we're doing a lot of technical things at once that we're figuring out on the fly.
I want to give a special shout out to Connor, my director, who's actually my longest employee with me at the moment, who is now, he actually has 18 hands, and he was just pulling wires and switching things and all sorts of stuff.
As you know, when Connor does a good job, we give him a little extra guacamole.
And Connor?
Guacamole for the year, my friend.
All right, so hopefully you guys caught me on Dr.
Phil over there.
We're gonna have a couple other people coming up in just a few minutes.
Right now, what I'm seeing, what I can see, or we're gonna break some numbers now.
So here's the map at the moment.
So Donald Trump's got 195 electoral votes.
Kamala Harris at 113.
So right now, the map is basically looking like What people thought it was going to look like just in the last little bit.
And so it looks like Ted Cruz will remain the senator from Texas, which obviously would be great.
He's a constitutional lawyer and expert and really...
He's one of the good ones.
I know him personally and professionally at this point, and he really is one of the good ones.
We're gonna grab some coverage of some of the other news networks as well.
Phoenix, we can have Brock grab something that I just tweeted from CBS News about Pennsylvania, that basically CBS News is reporting that Pennsylvania will probably not have their results in tonight.
And then the reporter said, oh, but that doesn't mean anything nefarious is happening.
And that's sort of where they bake in this weird thing that, oh, if it doesn't go our way, I guess we'll have to do something to slow it all down.
But we'll also tell you that nothing bad is happening our way or that nothing bad is happening out there.
And that's not good.
There are some reports that North Carolina is looking quite good for Trump.
So that would be the first sort of swing state situation of the night that went in a little bit of a different direction.
So we'll see.
Do we want to show this Fox video right now?
Yeah, so let's jump over to, this is Fox reporting that Kamala apparently is doing really poorly with black voters in Georgia.
All right, so we're going to cut that a bit short.
You guys know I don't like getting caught up in the hyper-racialization and gender thing and then focusing on the numbers.
The key part that I wanted to show you there, though, is that black men, at least in Georgia, do seem to be breaking towards Trump in different numbers.
He's still losing significantly, right?
So Kamala's still got 70-some-odd, 80-some-odd.
But if he jumps by about 10% from, you know, four to 14 or seven to 17, something like that, that can be significant.
So again, this goes to where everybody, I wish, and hopefully maybe one day we'll be able to analyze Let's jump over to MSNBC because there's something interesting happening right now, which seems to be happening nationwide, which is that the Latino boat is definitely going more than usual towards Republicans.
And that doesn't play well for the MSNBC crowd because they think that, you know, the Republicans are supposed to be white supremacists.
And as Carol Markowitz said earlier, the Latinos have basically been reduced to white adjacent the more that they break towards Republicans.
Maria Theresa, we have some broad national exit polling about Harris' strength among Latino men, and they seem to be breaking for Donald Trump, which is a very big difference from 2020 when they broke for Joe Biden by, I believe, 23 points.
They may be breaking for Trump by as many as 10 points.
Alright, I'll stop saying it because I could say it 500 more times throughout the night.
But this idea that Latino men brought this way, it's such a bad way of looking at everything.
We're all Americans first.
It would be so much healthier if they would look at it and be like...
People that care about the economy, people that care about foreign policy, people that whatever, like instead of just keeping us all at odds with each other seemingly because of our sex or our skin color, it's just not healthy for a melting pot society that we are.
Maybe it could work for some other sectarian country somewhere else or would have worked 200 years ago, but I don't think it's particularly healthy.
Right now.
But in any event, you're gonna see some wild stuff.
If the Latino numbers do bear out the way that they're looking and that it keeps going towards the Republicans, they don't have to get more voters than the Democrats, but that the numbers just shift a little bit in the Republicans' favor than what usually would happen, you are gonna see all sorts of bananas stuff come out of the left about Latino men who have now abandoned their wives and they have abandoned black people and everything else.
And it's really just...
Boy, you know, an awful lot of, and I know many of them here in Florida, an awful lot of Latino people came to America legally.
And that means when you came here legally, you don't necessarily want people to come here illegally and get all sorts of benefits.
You want people to wait in line just like you waited in line.
And that seems to be one of the disconnects with the left, that it's like, oh, you're Latino.
That means somehow you should just be pro-immigrant.
And if you're pro-immigrant, you should be pro-illegal immigrant.
And that just doesn't kind of work.
Tom Bilyeu from Impact Theory will be on with us in about five minutes.
Let's jump over to Larry Kudlow.
I was on his show on Fox News, Fox Business, actually, about a week ago.
And he right now, right, we have the Kudlow, and he is feeling good about Donald Trump's positioning at the moment.
All right, so for those of you that aren't big on the financial shows, I mean, Kudlow's running a major, major financial show, in essence saying things are looking good for Trump, but I think he's right.
We can't get overconfident at the moment.
I am definitely concerned from what I'm hearing about Pennsylvania that somehow, you know, Obama, what was it, 45 minutes ago that I had Brett Weinstein on, and Obama put out that tweet basically saying we're not going to get the results from...
Pennsylvania tonight, and then CBS News, we'll try to get you the video in just a moment, but it's basically what I just referenced, that they basically were like, we're not gonna have results tonight, but that doesn't mean anything nefarious is happening.
It's like, if we don't have Pennsylvania tonight, We're good to go.
Well, here we go.
We saw what was happening earlier in the night.
For a moment, it started to get closer, and now things are starting to separate again.
It's got 75%.
Again, this is the betting market.
This is obviously not scientific.
This is just the people who are throwing money on this.
But 75% of them right now, there's a 75% chance that Donald Trump will be president, according to the bettors, and 25% That Kamala will be.
When we started the stream at six o'clock, which is now three and a half hours ago, the market was at 55% to Trump.
It's at 75% right now.
So things seem to be moving a certain way.
I think we've got Tom Bilyeu from Impact Theory and crazy Los Angeles, California on the line.
I mean, we're three and a half hours into this thing.
No major surprises at the moment, but nothing's gone particularly haywire.
So I can't complain, right?
Like we seem like it's all kind of working and hopefully everything kind of gets wrapped up tonight.
Well, I guess that's a good place to start.
Are you confident that we'll have a result tonight?
Because to me, putting aside, obviously everyone knows who I want to win, but I do think it's important to have election day and not election three days, election week, election three months.
Yeah, I think, honestly, you're going to have to have some pretty extreme election reforms if we want to build back confidence.
The only thing I'm hoping for is that it is just a very convincing victory.
If we have a very convincing victory, then we have a little bit of time to figure this out.
But I think people have to take seriously what the last two, for sure, maybe three elections have been, what they felt like as the people That there's so much margin for distrust, and I think there are very simple things that can be done to eliminate that, not the least of which would be requiring ID. But yeah, I think we have to make some pretty simple but very direct changes, otherwise people are not going to have it.
So we've been on each other's shows multiple times in the last year or so, and we constantly are talking about Los Angeles and Florida and all the red-blue stuff, everyone gets that.
So let's put that aside for a moment, but specifically talk about it on the election front.
So you live in a place, Los Angeles, California, that does not require ID, that you can literally just walk in.
It's what I did last time I voted there, which was the recall election, and just said my name and my address.
I could have been my neighbor.
I knew his name and his address, and they would not have asked me for any sort of ID. It seems to me that the question of fraud is baked into the system there.
Yeah, so this is where, okay, look, tinfoil hats abound.
You have to be careful not to take things too far, but there is certainly a line of logic that you can follow that says, look, this is really about lowering wages and we want to let a lot of people into the country and it's going to help us suppress The wages and costs, and that's great for everybody.
And then there is a straight line that you can follow that says, well, not only do we get that advantage, but we also get the advantage of being able to fly people into states that are swing states and If you go with the propensity of somebody who got in on the good graces of the government and is promised a lot of stuff, and they must continue to vote Democrat in order to get those things in the future, it isn't a crazy stretch to believe that they would disproportionately vote Democratic.
And you can do...
And I mean, look, a lot of people blame Reagan for the fact that California...
So Reagan, a Republican, gets the blame for California becoming a pure blue state because of the amnesty program that he did back during his term.
And so if that kind of thing really does have that knock-on effect of an immigrant is more likely to vote Democrat, it's certainly possible that by shipping people specifically into these swing states that you create a problem.
Now, I don't know that I want to go that far.
I would certainly much rather believe that this is purely economic.
But no matter how you look at it, I hope that that is a referendum that people are really Turning this election into regarding the way that the border has been handled, but not requiring ID is crazy.
There's literally no argument.
You require it for everything else.
And if you can say with a straight face that democracy is on the line and therefore it's so important you don't need an ID, then it's like, well, there are other things.
I'm driving my wife to the hospital.
Do I need an ID to drive in the car?
The joke being, if you get pulled over on the way to the polls without your ID, just say, you know, I'm on my way to vote.
You may have heard this, but Nikki Haley, when she was governor of South Carolina, everyone kept saying, oh, people don't have IDs, people don't have IDs.
So she allocated several million dollars to make sure that everyone could get IDs.
And I think what she told me was 16 people used the program.
Yeah, I mean, it certainly, it points out a flaw in the underlying logic.
So in business, we talk a lot about base assumptions.
So, hey, you have a base assumption that people don't have easy access to the ID and therefore very good, qualified people that should be voting are not going to be able to vote because they can't get the ID. Cool, run a test and see if that's actually true.
And something like that, you know, I mean, how far you can extrapolate, it's another question, but that would certainly peck at the veracity of that claim.
I talked a bit about this with Jordan Peterson about an hour ago, but what I also see happening here right now is we're seeing, regardless of the outcome of tonight, that clearly there is now a shift in where people are getting their news.
We all know this, of course, Joe Rogan is in effect bigger than CNN at this point.
But whatever podcasts or streams people are listening and watching, that there's a certain set of people that are still willing to pay attention to what the system is offering.
And then there's a whole other group, I would say a much bigger group at this point, that wants the other thing, the thing that we're doing, right, that we're part of.
Do you think those two things can ever be connected in a way that will be healthy for the country?
I think it's inevitable that they're going to ultimately diffuse into each other because they're When you raise a generation on a thing, that just becomes the known thing, the norm for them.
They're not even going to think about it.
So even if this is just a question of time, there's no doubt that over time people will get more and more of their information via social media, via the internet, and more traditional means of watching it on the news.
You've done some stuff yourself with health and helping people lose weight and making some Quest bars and cookies and all kinds of stuff in your day.
I suppose you're pretty happy about the idea of, say, an RFK being involved with somebody like Trump, where we could actually start addressing some of our problems that are outside of politics, some might argue more important than politics?
This is why I think what Trump has done here is really incredible, is he's created a deck of people that you can choose from.
So if you're like, oh God, I cannot vote for Trump, but I can see what he's doing with RFK and RFK is my guy.
RFK was certainly where I was headed before he got elected.
Lawfare out of existence and Seeing him put together this gallery of people from Elon to RFK to Tulsi Vivek It's it's really pretty impressive and it gives if if he is sincere and he holds it through and he actually listens to these people and engages them in a meaningful way and it isn't just a get elected stunt and I think it's really incredible because yes, when you start talking about making America healthy again, you're on to something that actually matters.
If you could make America balance a budget again, then you'd really have me.
But getting people in that are looking at these broader social trends that are so impactful to our health, to our safety as a country, very powerful.
I mean, to me, if they're already teasing this Pennsylvania thing, like if that becomes a far gone conclusion, then Trump has to basically run the show on everything else so that Pennsylvania becomes irrelevant.
But that's gonna be a tough one.
So Trump just won North Carolina.
So that is a good sign for that because that was one of the swing states.
So that actually is a good sign that if he can do all the other stuff, that Pennsylvania may not matter.
It's obviously early, but they've apparently called it.
So that's really fantastic.
Hopefully, this Pennsylvania stuff, we're just getting some early rumors about this.
I really don't like...
That Obama would put a tweet like that out.
You just have to remember, these are all signals that they send to the system, right?
So you just, Obama sends the signal out there.
If he thought that Pennsylvania was trending towards Kamala, does he send out the signal like, oh, we better wait?
No, of course not, right?
Look, I get it.
There's versions of that on the other side too.
Okay, fine.
But I'm just dealing with what we have in front of us right now.
And if that is the situation we're in, where they're just going to delay and delay Pennsylvania so that we can't get to some kind of volition tonight, that would be rough.
Why do I want to sit and watch a bunch of talking heads talk about, speculate about numbers when I can hear this incredible lineup of guests that you have?
I mean, I think it's the thing that so many of us have been building.
And as I said at the top of the show tonight, I mean, I think that's really what's happening here tonight.
I'm not making that about me.
I'm not making that about you.
But the shift now from a hyper-controlled news that clearly does not give you actual news to something that's messier that we're doing here, where every now and again, somebody's earpiece isn't going to be in at exactly the right time.
But you're going to at least get something directionally I think that is just way better, and I think most people agree with that.
I was talking to a woman, two women today, who were analyzing the bureaucratic, the parallel bureaucratic world that the World Health Organization has put together.
And when you really start to see what's going on, it just becomes chilling, frightening.
Bureaucracies, they just keep building.
And once you have a job in a bureaucracy, you're just doing your job and you're going to do what you got to do to protect your job.
And these jobs, this is why I'm excited.
Like you said with the last guest, you know, RFK is my guy.
Musk is my guy.
These guys need to be in Washington.
We did not design this federal government to be doing what it is doing.
It was not supposed to be involved in our lives.
It was supposed to regulate interstate commerce and defense, and the rest was supposed to be the state and the local practice of democracy.
That's how this country works.
And the fact that the federal government is up in our lives all over the place, is anathema to the principles upon which we were founded.
I just love it, though, because I knew you when it was starting to happen, and you were the first guy, I think, that ever put me on television when I was a lefty way back when.
Although your show at the time was not political.
And to see what happened to you during COVID and how you woke up, I just think is great.
But Drew, let me throw to this because I just mentioned it a few minutes ago, but this is video from CBS News where they're already hinting and Obama tweeted out that we may not get the results from Pennsylvania tonight, but don't worry, nothing bad's happening over there.
Drew, putting aside the overproduction, the way that they talk to each other, which is not the way that you and I are speaking to each other in a normal cadence and everything else, putting aside all that theatrics and the great lighting that they have, I'll give them that much for the lighting grid.
Every other country manages to put it out in a day, and they do it with paper ballots for the most part.
I was watching the French elections where they just announce it all at once.
They're just, there's your results, and that's that.
And it's at the end of the day, and there's the results.
And the fact that we're not being held to that and things drag on, yes, there may not be anything nefarious happening, but doing so leaves the door open for something nefarious to happen.
And that's why they feel—it's like, methinks they doth protest too much.
It's why they add that coda, because they know that if things are going to happen with shenanigans, it's going to be because things are delayed.
What would you say, I asked Jordan Peterson a slightly different version of this earlier in the evening, about sort of the mental health state of people at the moment as it relates to politics?
Because even me today, and you know me, I burn pretty cool.
Politics and media is not everything to me, all of that stuff.
But everyone is dealing with a certain stress level.
I have no doubt that there's a certain stress level on the other political side as well, right?
They think Hitler's on the way, so that would be somewhat stressful.
How do we get rid of that?
I mean, if we can't solve our political problems, what can we at least do sort of on our own psychological profile front that might help alleviate some of this craziness?
I also spent the weekend with Matthias Desmet, who sort of invented this construct and is a brilliant psychologist from Belgium.
And we are in a delusional state and hysteria a lot of the time.
My estimation is it got going with sort of Trump derangement, then it got put on steroids with COVID, and the media has been a source of a lot of it.
I didn't realize how duplicitous the government was in all this, but I could see it on the media.
And if you're not, if you're just listening to Dave Rubin's report, The Rubin Report all evening, I'm not whipped into frenzy, but just even hearing those women talk about Pennsylvania, I got anxious immediately.
A lot of our problems are coming from the news media in particular, and just media generally, but particularly the news media.
And back to what I said about bureaucracy and over-centralization, stay local.
The fact that we're not putting the faith into one doctor and one patient, that we want to put some system on top of that, look what happened with COVID. Patients were sent home because the hospital administrators told the doctors to send them home, have them come back when they're blue.
This was anathema, the practice of medicine was disgusting.
Same thing is true in so many aspects of our life.
The more we focus on our connections, and by the way, the way mass formation works and the way they Foment hysteria is with disconnect, the loneliness, the disconnect, the lack of attachment and love that we have for the important people in our life.
We must re-entrench locally in all respects.
It's how democracy in America is designed to work.
It's how the structure of this country has succeeded.
It's always been that case, and we need to roll back to that.
So, yeah, we are very narcissistic.
Yes, we are very hysterical.
We are very disconnected.
But we can do something about that.
Rather than being swept into mass formation and mobs, you can choose—we're adults—not to be a victim, not to engage in the mob action, not to get involved in cancel culture and Mob focusing of aggression on some sacrifice and just get it back to our local relationships.
So Drew, let me float this one to you because it seems to me that if Trump wins tonight, if we actually get a result and it is a Trump win tonight, I know he doesn't take office for a few months, but shortly after taking office, I think we can fix a lot of stuff really quickly.
I think we can fix the Middle East really quickly.
I think we can fix Russia, Ukraine really quickly.
I definitely think we can fix our border really quickly.
I think we can fix some of the trade stuff really quickly.
We can go on and on down the list.
Now, I know that there'll be a certain amount of people, to your point, that will remain apoplectic and we're gonna have violence and whatever, but I wanna take the other version of that for a moment, that if Kamala wins, the forces that have woken you up, that everyone watching this knows what they are, they will be so emboldened They will be like, holy cow, we kicked out Biden right in front of their eyes.
We installed a woman that is clearly not competent to do it.
We lied to them about virtually everything.
We threw Barack Obama out there two days before the election to save very fine people again.
They will be so emboldened because they will be so high on their own nonsense that...
I think Elon's right.
This would be the last election in essence.
Not the last election that we show up at a ballot box, but the last one that would actually matter.
But I'm sort of advocating against leaning into what he's saying.
And I'm saying that, you know, the French Revolution is a model for how things are playing I'm sorry to tell you, a lot of the things were the same.
But one of the slogans I heard just today, studying it a bit, was behind the mask of every patriot is a traitor.
And that is the kind of sloganeering we've been dealing with.
And I think just in time, and I think it's maybe COVID that did us this favor, people kind of woke up, people shifted, people came out of their sort of party silos and started looking at reality and lining up and forming coalitions.
That will be able to keep moving forward no matter who wins here, it seems to me.
Because even if Trump wins, those coalitions still need to do their work.
We need to understand better what happened during COVID. We need apologies.
Okay, so now let's bounce back to the other side, which is we get the result that you and I think would be better for the country tonight, and then Trump brings in some of these other people, we start getting this wide tent, things start moving forward in a positive way.
So if policy starts working better, and now Bobby's fixing some of the health stuff, Yes.
What other areas would you want to see fixed?
You know, I could see you getting a call from Trump and saying, hey, help me out with what's going on at the CDC and the NIH. Bobby can't do it by himself.
Is the problem with the budget thing, it's like, yeah, I actually do believe that Elon could get in there and clear out two trill because it's like, we just, you know, they buy a toilet for $700.
Like, none of it kind of works right and it's always, you know, it's backhanded, backdoor deals, all that stuff.
But the problem with really fixing it, unless we get an Elon in there, that it's just not a sexy enough thing to sell to people.
It is just politically not functional to say to people, oh, we are going to have to not give you as much crap.
Yeah, well, in Europe, they call it austerity, and they fight against it.
And there's a psychology that believes, well, they just print more money.
They've got the printing press.
Just print the money.
Science and economics has got to be taught back in schools again because our science, our understanding of the scientific method, our understanding of how homo economicus works is woefully pathetic.
That concerns me also more than anything.
If they want help with that, that's the other thing I would help with.
It wouldn't be that hard to have a basic curriculum around these things that people need to be able to function effectively in the world.
But yes, it's not sexy, but Bill Clinton did it.
He did it quite well.
So let's look to old Bill to help us out and to be the standard bearer for doing it again.
Reality is reasserting itself, I think, is what's happening.
Reality is breaking out all over.
And that's really important.
And we can now say things and talk about things.
That literally you couldn't say without being endangered a year ago, two years ago.
Now we're starting to once again have real discourse.
Jay Bhattacharya had that wonderful conference up at Stanford with differing scientific opinions, shared ideas.
The president of Stanford University stood up and said, we are going to defend And the university is where you bring lots of different ideas and express them.
That's the beginning.
There's things like that happening all around, and I'm very optimistic about that stuff, independent of what happens tonight.
Well, now I'll reverse on what I started this conversation by saying, and I will ask you something about California, which obviously it's going to Harris for the presidential part.
But do you see any signs, I mean, relative to some of the good things you're talking about right now, that there is this wake-up, people are tuning out of mainstream media, etc., etc.
Do you see any signs there that at least there could be some little wins at the micro level, if not taking over the whole thing?
Drew, all I know is voting here in Florida today was such a joy to show the ID, to do it with paper, to fill it out with a pen like an old school test that you took back in my day in elementary school or junior high, to then put it back in the envelope of functional adults standing there helping you make sure it goes into the machine properly, someone thanking you.
All right, we're going to jump on in just a sec with the team over at the Blaze, Glenn Black, and the whole crew, I think, is over there, and I'm going to join them.
We'll keep it on our channel as well, so we'll do a little simulcast.
I think we are doing a little South Park, a little something.
You people love it when I watch South Park episodes I've never seen before.
The whole team is in the room right now.
Everyone wants me to do this.
Okay.
Oh, we're throwing to a South Park reaction thing.
Here we go.
1995 or 1996, I was still a South Park when it originally came out.
I have only seen clips over time.
My team is constantly demanding that I watch South Park and they want to show me clips and I react to them and that's what people do on the internet and that's what we're doing today.
Why am I talking like this?
Here we go.
unidentified
Okay kids, today we have a special assembly, okay?
We're gonna learn about the diversity of Asian people.
Please welcome Mr.
Liu Kim and Mr.
Junichi Takayama.
Oh yeah, I remember this song.
Konnichiwa!
How are y'all fearing?
Hey, Mr.
Takayama, did you know that China and Japan are actually a different countries?
I did not watch South Park when it originally came out.
I have only seen clips over time.
My team is constantly demanding that I watch South Park and they want to show me clips and I react to them and that's what people do on the internet and that's what we're doing today.
Why am I talking like this?
unidentified
Here we go!
Okay kids, today we have a special assembly.
We're going to learn about the diversity of Asian people.
I would like to ask, if we can get somebody on stage two to answer the question, how are the amendments or the propositions going where it is, what do you call it, the vote?
We're, what, rolling into hour four of our coverage over here, and there hasn't been any tragic disaster yet.
Things have all kind of trended in our direction.
But, Glenn, before we get too excited, I would remind you That four years ago on election night, you and I spoke at about this time and everything was looking pretty damn good for Donald Trump.
And then a pipe burst in Philly, and then obviously everyone knows the history there.
So I am cautiously optimistic at the moment.
I'm very happy about what happened here in Florida, which we knew was obviously staying red, but the amendments that were on the ballot that were gonna potentially change our constitution as it related to marijuana and abortion, they failed.
And the fact that we now accept that as normal, you know, you guys probably read the tweet, but that Barack Obama about 20 minutes ago tweeted out, oh, we probably won't have the results from Pennsylvania tonight.
That's a signal to the system that, oh, it's okay.
It's not election day.
It's election three days or election three months.
I think that's a problem.
There was also CBS News Which in essence said, oh, if we don't get the results tonight, that doesn't mean anything nefarious is happening.
We don't, as Trump said the other day, we don't have to live this way.
There's no reason why the rest of the world, much of the third world, can count their votes accurately, and here we are, the most powerful nation in the world, Currently, check what time it is.
Well, of course, there's no true sense to it unless you wanted skepticism to be built into the system.
Look, I voted in Florida today.
And I did it with a paper ballot and a pen and it was very easy to do and clean and clear with competent people.
And then, you know, at the end you fold up your paper, you walk over to the box, someone shows you exactly how to put it in and you walk out of there.
I walked out of there very proud to be a Floridian and proud to be an American and feeling confident that my vote matters.
Now that's in stark contrast to what I was dealing with just four years ago when I voted in the presidential election and in the recall election of Gavin Newsom.
Which was a little bit before that, in California.
Because there, I did not have to show an ID. All I did have to have was my name in my brain and my address in my brain.
And guess what, Glenn?
I know my neighbor's name and his address, so I could have been him too.
Did you see that video that came out a couple of days ago with the guy who walked in and they said, what's your name?
And he gave his name and he said, could be.
What's your address?
Could be, and he gave it an address.
Are you a citizen?
Yes, but maybe not.
And they still allowed him to vote.
I mean, it was the craziest thing.
And they asked him, wait a minute, what do you mean you're a citizen, but no you're not?
Well, I mean, I am a citizen, but maybe not, but you can't ask me.
I don't know.
Could be.
And they still let him vote.
There's no reason that, you know, you see these poll numbers on this particular question about the credibility and getting an ID and having to prove who you are.
It's almost universal.
I think the number is an 80 percent range of all Americans, no matter how you vote.
No, but this is what the left has done with everything.
They've made everything about race, and then they somehow tell you that black people don't know how to get IDs.
You know, Glenn, I was on a plane last week.
I saw black people.
It was a miracle.
They somehow figured out how to get an ID and get on a plane.
You know, occasionally when you go, I don't know when the last time you went mini-golfing was, but when I went mini-golfing last time, I kid you not, they asked for my IDs so that I wouldn't steal the golf clubs.
It's completely, Literally absurd unless you want enough skept, unless you want enough fraud in the system and or you want enough skepticism in the system so that you can delay an election night so that we could feel good about something until we don't.
I don't know how you feel about the campaign that Donald Trump ran, but it was not the 2016, definitely not 2020.
He is, I think...
I think the assassination and the time that he had outside of the White House to really think about what he had just experienced and what he would do differently.
The man became a true leader and president, I think, this time around.
And you're seeing RFK, Tulsi, you know, already people like you and Weinstein and others.
There is this new kind of, I don't even know if I could call it conservative or Republican, but it's really an independent kind of thing where Donald Trump is bringing people that don't agree on everything.
It's kind of like the old American.
We don't agree on everything, but we have these principles and he has been selling something that, and I think he can do it with credibility because of Elon Musk, This is one of the last things he said.
We don't have to live this way.
There is a bright future.
And I think that is the beginning of something.
Whether he wins or loses, I think there's something to this new kind of coalition that loves the founding principles, you know, the Bill of Rights, that don't agree on everything, but they know we're much better than this.
Glenn, it's become a running joke on my show that if Trump wins this election, that my life's work is almost complete because as everyone knows at this point, you know, I very famously left the left and I did that why I left the left video for PragerU.
And then suddenly I found myself talking.
To all of these people like Larry Elder and Ben Shapiro and you.
And if you remember, Glenn, when the first time I had you on in my show, if I'm not mistaken, it was early on in 2017.
First time we ever met, I had you at my house.
I still had a lot of liberal principles, I would say.
And you and I sat there for an hour and a half or so.
We had never spent any time off camera together.
We do a show live.
We're suddenly, halfway through the show, We both kind of realized at the same time, boy, we have some differences here.
Okay, where we exactly fall on abortion may be different or even death penalty or some of these things.
Now, over the years, you and I have definitely come closer together, probably because I've shifted more in your direction.
Right, so the shift, it's interesting, because you usually think of a shift from right to left, but in some ways, we now have a circle, and shifts are happening in every which way, right?
But what really has happened here is that this is not a conservative movement, per se, or a Republican movement.
This is a pro-America movement.
If you think that this country is great, if you think our founding documents are the greatest manmade documents that ever freed people, If you think that basic things like having functional borders and institutions that we can trust, and if you think that the Bill of Rights is good and free speech is good and the right to assembly is good and all of those things, well, then we can deal with marginal tax rates and we can deal with some of the foreign policy stuff and all the rest of it.
So that's what's brought these people together.
And for years, this is exactly what I wanted.
because what I found having left the left was, "Oh, I'm suddenly in common cause "with people like Glenn Beck, "so how do you make that a movement?" Not just, "Oh, it's a couple of us "talking about these things." And I think this is the moment for it, And if tonight continues to go our way, I'm not retiring tomorrow, but it would be a nice feather in my cap, I suppose.
If we can get past the next 72 days, you know what I mean?
What happens in the next 72 days could be very, very dicey, especially globally.
I mean, you're being a Jew, you understand.
Can you imagine what it feels like to be either in Iran tonight and being somebody who hates the regime, But has had this administration just funneling money to that regime.
What your hope is with another Donald Trump attempt, what it feels like in Israel, what it feels like in any of these countries where you are watching America And you're seeing a guy saying, you know what?
We're going to deport all of these people.
Bill Clinton is the president who deported more people than any other president in history.
He deported 11 million illegals.
Nobody said a word about it.
Donald Trump is saying 15 million.
That's not that big of a deal, especially with the changes in our population.
This guy could set the entire world in a different course because they're looking for somebody like America to stand up and say, enough of this.
And imagine what it feels like to watch this in another country, the hope it could give you.
Yeah, if I could speak to the Israel point for just a second, I am Jewish, and I really hope we're gonna see record turnout for Donald Trump on the Jewish side of things, from the Jewish population tonight.
But on the Israel side of things, you know, all Israel wants is support from America, basically diplomatically, and then obviously they get weapons from us, which really becomes, you know, every dollar that we give them, they have to spend in the United States, so it's not like they keep that money.
But putting that aside for a moment, every success that they've had in this war Which is now a seven-front war over the course of the last two months, this miraculous thing where they've taken out all of Hezbollah's leadership by getting Sinwar in Gaza and everything else.
It's not because of America, it's because they ignored America.
Kamala Harris, what was it, three weeks ago or a month ago, said that, I mean, the audacity of the woman, She said she studied the maps of Rafa and Israel can't go into Rafa.
Well, then they ignored her and they killed the head of Hamas.
And there's many, many other examples of this.
They just need the leeway to finish the war so that they could, you know what, putting aside the 100 plus Israelis that are still hostages, there are five Americans.
So let's get a couple numbers out real quick on some of the other ones that are important.
Arizona with about 48% in, Phoenix, can you just lower that for me a little bit?
Arizona with about 48% in is basically 50 to 49.2 in favor of Kamala.
Pennsylvania with 51% in is basically 50-48 in favor of Trump.
And so everything else right now, Georgia has got Trump up by five points with 82% in, so Georgia's looking pretty good.
Larry, before we dive into just like the numbers and the map and the whole thing, do you feel that what we are seeing tonight outside of the pure political part, there's been a theme for the hours that we've been doing this show amongst most of my guests, that we're seeing a real shift in the media in terms of what's happening online versus the corporate press.
And that might be really the meta story here that's maybe, it's not more important than the election, but it's right next to the election.
unidentified
I think you're right.
And you know who started all of this?
Who let that fuse?
Donald Trump.
Donald Trump is the one who popularized the expression fake news.
He really got people, I think, looking far more I know you and I have been talking about this for a long time, other people have, but Donald Trump has really singled out the news, called him out, called him all sorts of nasty names, and they've gone after him with a vengeance, and virtually every time Donald Trump has called him out and said, you guys have done this, you guys have done that, he's been proven right.
There's a reason that the LA Times did not endorse Kamala Harris.
There's a reason that the Washington Post did not endorse Kamala Harris.
There's a reason the Gannett newspapers did not endorse Kamala Harris.
They are beginning to realize that That their left-wing bias is starting to offend people.
Is she the worst candidate in modern times, regardless of what happens tonight?
Just, I mean, in terms of someone able to sell their ideas and that you could authentically look at them and believe that they believe what they're saying.
unidentified
Well, Dave, look at the hand she was down.
She was a co-pilot for four years.
She said that she'd been the last person in the room for every major decision.
The only way she could win is to dump on Joe Biden, distance herself from him, say that, well, when he pulled out of Afghanistan, I said, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, Joe.
When he did build back better, I said, I don't want to be the tie-breaking vote for that.
unidentified
When he went and reversed Donald Trump's policies on the border, I said, you know, you can't do that.
She can't say that credibly because it's not true.
So she was dealt a pretty bad hand.
Most people feel we're on the wrong track.
And the bottom line is, are you better off now than you were three and a half years ago?
Unless you're an illegal alien, the answer is no.
I don't know how you can squirrel your way around that if she couldn't do it.
Elon's prediction basically was that if Kamala wins, that we end up as Cali.
I brought this up with Dr.
Drew a few minutes ago.
That feels right to me.
We will continue to have elections, but the system will be so corroded that they will be largely irrelevant.
Do you think that's a fair diagnosis?
unidentified
I do, but there are some sprouts of common sense even here in California.
Just today, front page of the LA Times, which I read so nobody else has to, a long article self-examining whether or not there are too many Democrats in Sacramento.
As you know, we have a supermajority Democrat in the Senate.
Supermajority in the Assembly, and believe it or not, the article said, maybe, just maybe, we're all talking to ourselves, no other ideas, maybe that's not a good idea.
unidentified
I was shocked to see that article on the front page.
Also, George Gascon, the LADA, is probably going to go down by about 30 points.
And then there's a proposition called 36, which essentially will repeal 47.
Kamala Harris's fingerprints are all over 47.
unidentified
She was AG and wrote kind of a glowing little description about 47, about it being criminal justice reform, which is why voters were duped into voting for it.
They're now very angry.
And the Proposition 36 is probably going to win by about 30 points.
Listen, I hate bringing up all the, every time we talk, unfortunately, we all get caught in this race nonsense, and then I have to ask you these stupid race questions, and I know how you feel about them, but there are some positive trends that seem to be happening right now.
From the numbers that I just saw out of Georgia, it does seem like the black vote in Georgia is gonna go up probably by like eight to 10% to Trump.
That seems good.
We're seeing the Latino numbers go up towards Trump.
These are good indicators, as much as we don't want to talk about race, that something else is happening here, right?
Well, Dave, whether you're Hispanic or Black, when you walk into a grocery store and you're paying 21% more than you were three and a half, four years ago, it's going to bite.
I also believe that there is a real anger over illegal immigration.
unidentified
When Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott began putting illegals on buses and sending them to places like New York and Chicago, then and only then did the media begin focusing on this.
And the cohort that's most hurt by illegal aliens are unskilled black and brown people living in the inner city.
They've got to compete against these illegals for jobs.
And the presence of illegal alien labor, according to a study done by the Civil Rights Commission, puts downward pressure to the tune of almost $2,000 on the wages of black men And Hispanics every single year that they're there.
And I also think school choice is a sleeper issue.
So with that in mind, I mean, is this the most hopeful you've ever been in some sense, regardless of what happens specifically over the next couple hours?
I mean, the things that you just mentioned when you're talking about the inner city violence and school choice and all of these issues, I mean, these are the issues you've been talking about for at least three decades.
unidentified
Well, that's right, and also crime.
You've got Kamala Harris, Barack Obama maligning the police, causing what's called the Ferguson effect or the George Floyd effect, and that's the phenomenon of cops pulling back from their normal proactive policing.
As a result, you're finding violent crime up in places like LA, Chicago, New York.
Because the police no longer are engaging in proactive policing for fear they're going to be called systemically racist.
unidentified
Polls show that black people want the police there as much as white people do because they're the ones who are disproportionately affected by things like cashless bail and soft on crime policies by these George Soros-backed DAs.
If things work out tonight, or even if it takes till tomorrow or the next day, but hopefully tonight, because we all know the longer it goes on, the worse it looks for us.
And you got the call from President Trump, which I think you would get.
What would you do?
What would you want to do?
Because I do think you would get a call.
I think you have been so ahead on so much of this.
Several other of the candidates during the primary were repeating Larry Elder lines constantly, constantly.
And of course, that is Donald Trump's country club slash...
Facility slash venue slash home slash hotel slash all of the stuff.
So we're going to have her there in a few minutes, and we'll see if maybe she can grab some people in.
We're really doing all of this on the fly, so we'll see what Sage can do over there.
Then I'm going to be doing a cross-stream with Megyn Kelly and a couple other things.
Can we get back to some of those numbers that I wasn't able to get to right before?
Let's see.
Just Virginia.
Virginia with 64% in is 49.66 to Trump and 48.7 to Kamala, so that's way too close to call.
Pennsylvania, you know, it's almost a 2.2% advantage to Trump with basically 51% in.
That's pretty good, but again, it sounds like Pennsylvania is gonna be the screwy one tonight, so we'll see.
But you can see the maps starting to come together.
We're getting there.
Let's see.
It sounds like he might've just won Georgia, which is huge.
All right, Ted Cruz won the Texas Senate seat.
So that is great to see that Ted Cruz will remain in the Senate.
That's not a surprise, but he wanted 52 to 46.
And Georgia, is Georgia official?
We're trying to figure out if Georgia's official right now, but it sounds like, and Georgia about a half hour ago was definitely trending in that direction.
So if he gets Georgia and he gets North Carolina, there is some, we'll start crunching the numbers, but there is some situation that would allow for Pennsylvania, I think, to not be called tonight and it actually wouldn't matter.
There's gotta be some scenario that the math adds up on that.
But we'll get to that in a second.
We've got Sage Seale at Mar-a-Lago.
In just a couple of minutes.
And what should we do in the meantime?
unidentified
We're going to throw to a video of...
We've got something from the Televised Mental Institution known as MSNBC. They want some good news tonight.
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?
