WEBVTT 1 00:00:11.910 --> 00:00:14.259 REPUBLICANS TOOK A BEATING LAST NIGHT NO WAY TO SPIN 2 00:00:14.279 --> 00:00:17.839 IT I WISH I COULD SO TONIGHT HERE'S AN HONEST 3 00:00:18.379 --> 00:00:23.859 POST-MORTEM WHAT WENT RIGHT WHAT WENT WRONG AND WHERE WE 4 00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:28.570 GO FROM HERE LET'S START WITH WHAT WENT RIGHT BECAUSE 5 00:00:28.730 --> 00:00:34.929 THERE WERE REAL WINDS FLORIDA MY HOME STATE IT'S STILL 6 00:00:35.009 --> 00:00:38.850 RED SOLID RED BYRON DONALD'S IS THE NEXT GOVERNOR OF 7 00:00:38.929 --> 00:00:41.219 FLORIDA FIRST BLACK GOVERNOR IN THE STATE'S HISTORY BY THE 8 00:00:41.259 --> 00:00:44.590 WAY Ashley Moody held her Senate seat, and Florida voters 9 00:00:44.630 --> 00:00:47.770 passed the biggest property tax cut for homeowners with more 10 00:00:47.810 --> 00:00:52.060 than 60% of the vote. Donald thanked President Trump for 11 00:00:52.100 --> 00:00:53.000 being in his corner. 12 00:00:53.479 --> 00:00:57.960 The second call that I received tonight was from the 13 00:00:58.020 --> 00:01:06.560 President of the United States, Donald J. Trump. 14 00:01:06.620 --> 00:01:06.689 Mr. 15 00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:10.040 President, I want you to hear from Florida that we 16 00:01:10.170 --> 00:01:17.420 are still red. But Mr. President, I also want to 17 00:01:17.459 --> 00:01:20.420 tell you thank you for your support and thank you 18 00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:21.180 for being. 19 00:01:20.939 --> 00:01:22.890 In my corner. Now, let's be fair. 20 00:01:22.909 --> 00:01:25.909 It wasn't an easy win for Donald's. Democrats made a 21 00:01:25.909 --> 00:01:30.640 strong push for Florida. They flipped Seminole County blue and 22 00:01:30.670 --> 00:01:32.980 picked off three of the four new House seats created 23 00:01:33.019 --> 00:01:36.859 when Republicans corrected the maps. In the fourth, near Orlando, 24 00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:40.480 the Democrat is ahead by about 1,500 votes, but Republicans 25 00:01:40.500 --> 00:01:44.480 won statewide anyway, and that speaks to the success of 26 00:01:44.579 --> 00:01:45.519 Florida last night. 27 00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:47.969 And there were wins elsewhere, too. 28 00:01:48.049 --> 00:01:51.629 Tommy Tuberville is the next governor of Alabama. Marsha Blackburn 29 00:01:51.689 --> 00:01:54.829 is the next governor of Tennessee. And Pete Ricketts held Nebraska. 30 00:01:55.569 --> 00:01:59.129 Now, what went wrong? And there is a long list. 31 00:02:00.010 --> 00:02:03.450 Susan Collins lost in Maine, but now I still think 32 00:02:03.489 --> 00:02:07.390 that's a win for Republicans. In Texas, Ken Paxton lost 33 00:02:07.409 --> 00:02:12.699 to James Tallarico. And Greg Abbott lost to Gina Hino-Josa, 34 00:02:13.300 --> 00:02:17.840 the first Democratic governor of Texas in more than 30 years. 35 00:02:18.539 --> 00:02:21.430 John James lost a governor's race in Michigan. We lost 36 00:02:21.449 --> 00:02:26.719 Senate seats in North Carolina, Ohio, Iowa, and Kansas. And 37 00:02:26.740 --> 00:02:29.219 in the House, on the current count, Republicans are on 38 00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:32.319 track to lose close to 50 seats. Not as bad 39 00:02:32.340 --> 00:02:35.080 as it could have been, though. Two Senate races are 40 00:02:35.099 --> 00:02:36.800 still too close to call in Mississippi. 41 00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:38.180 Yeah, Mississippi. 42 00:02:38.900 --> 00:02:45.430 Cindy Hyde-Smith trails by just 43 votes, with the affidavit 43 00:02:45.490 --> 00:02:47.210 and late mail-in ballots still to count. 44 00:02:47.229 --> 00:02:49.129 So there's hope there. We might pull that one out. 45 00:02:49.169 --> 00:02:52.969 In Alaska, and this one's very interesting, Dan Sullivan trails 46 00:02:53.009 --> 00:02:58.099 by about 600 votes. WITH ONLY THREE QUARTERS OF THE 47 00:02:58.139 --> 00:03:01.919 VOTE IN, AND ALASKA WON'T RUN ITS RANKED CHOICE COUNT 48 00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:05.669 UNTIL NOVEMBER 18th. IF REPUBLICANS HOLD BOTH, WE'LL END UP 49 00:03:05.689 --> 00:03:10.129 WITH 46 SENATE SEATS. IF WE LOSE BOTH, 44. EITHER WAY, 50 00:03:10.150 --> 00:03:12.930 WE'LL HAVE TO WAIT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS. BUT IT 51 00:03:12.990 --> 00:03:15.090 IS WHAT IT IS. AND BEFORE THE FAKE NEWS TELLS 52 00:03:15.150 --> 00:03:18.259 YOU THIS IS THE WORST LOSS IN HISTORY AND MAKES 53 00:03:18.340 --> 00:03:21.139 IT SEEM LIKE, OH, MY GOSH, THE SKY IS FALLING 54 00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:27.439 AND IT'S ALL TRUMP'S FAULT, REMEMBER, Bill Clinton lost 54 55 00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:33.740 House seats in 1994. Barack Obama lost 63 in 2010. 56 00:03:33.740 --> 00:03:35.500 So, yes, it does hurt. 57 00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:39.919 But part of this is historical because the president's party 58 00:03:39.939 --> 00:03:43.599 almost always loses in the midterm. And past Democrat presidents 59 00:03:43.620 --> 00:03:47.629 have lost bigger. Part of it is the party. And, yes, 60 00:03:47.689 --> 00:03:49.370 part of it is the president. We have to be 61 00:03:49.409 --> 00:03:49.949 honest there. 62 00:03:50.770 --> 00:03:51.710 Then there's turnout. 63 00:03:51.750 --> 00:03:55.180 More than 61 million Americans voted before Election Day. a 64 00:03:55.180 --> 00:03:58.560 midterm record, and Democrats banked far more of those ballots. 65 00:03:59.030 --> 00:04:02.270 Republicans' early voting lagged its own pace from four years ago. 66 00:04:02.569 --> 00:04:07.289 And according to public reporting, Republican Election Day turnout lagged 67 00:04:07.289 --> 00:04:11.090 2022 in Arizona, Florida, and Texas, although Florida did beat 68 00:04:11.189 --> 00:04:14.259 its 2024 numbers. And as far as early voting goes, 69 00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:19.000 in 2024, President Trump's campaign and the RNC pushed our voters. 70 00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:22.300 To bank their votes early and by mail. And we won. 71 00:04:22.980 --> 00:04:25.759 This year, the party didn't match it. IT'S NOT ON TRUMP, 72 00:04:25.779 --> 00:04:26.800 THAT'S ON THE GOP. 73 00:04:27.800

--> 00:04:30.379 THE MOST SIGNIFICANT THING, I THINK, IS SOMETHING THAT WE 74 00:04:30.459 --> 00:04:35.730 ALL KIND OF EXPECTED, THE SWING VOTERS SWUNG. ACCORDING TO 75 00:04:35.810 --> 00:04:39.769 FOX NEWS, A VOTER ANALYSIS SHOWED THAT REPUBLICANS WHO DID 76 00:04:40.009 --> 00:04:43.569 VOTE STUCK WITH REPUBLICANS BETTER THAN 9 TO 1, BUT 77 00:04:43.610 --> 00:04:47.750 INDEPENDENCE BROKE FOR DEMOCRATS BY MORE THAN 20 POINTS. HISPANIC 78 00:04:47.790 --> 00:04:51.040 VOTERS WENT BACK TO THE DEMOCRATS. THE COALITION THAT WON 79 00:04:51.060 --> 00:04:54.870 IN 2024 CAME APART AT THE SEAMS. And the swing 80 00:04:54.910 --> 00:04:59.939 voters sank the majorities. Now let's look at the issues. Immigration, 81 00:05:00.620 --> 00:05:03.639 voters went Republican nearly 10 to 1. That's the border 82 00:05:03.660 --> 00:05:07.620 Trump secured. And the voters noticed. But the number one issue, well, 83 00:05:07.699 --> 00:05:11.769 as I've been saying, it's the economy. And there we 84 00:05:11.829 --> 00:05:15.370 split nearly even. When you don't win the kitchen table, 85 00:05:15.750 --> 00:05:18.350 you don't win the majority. And many will say that 86 00:05:18.370 --> 00:05:21.370 the Iran war is to blame. And that might be true. 87 00:05:21.850 --> 00:05:22.069 J.D. 88 00:05:22.089 --> 00:05:23.389 Vance said it himself today. 89 00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:27.779 GAS PRICES WERE THE STORY LEADING UP THROUGH THE START 90 00:05:27.819 --> 00:05:29.819 OF MAIL-IN VOTING SEASON AND EARLY VOTING. 91 00:05:29.990 --> 00:05:32.199 THEY JUST STARTED TO GO DOWN BEFORE ELECTION DAY. 92 00:05:32.250 --> 00:05:35.269 AND I STILL THINK, THOUGH, THE PRESIDENT DID THE RIGHT 93 00:05:35.410 --> 00:05:38.149 THING WITH RESPECT TO IRAN. BUT HE DID PAY A 94 00:05:38.170 --> 00:05:40.149 POLITICAL PRICE FOR IT. SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO PUT THE 95 00:05:40.189 --> 00:05:45.509 COUNTRY BEFORE POLITICS. AND WHILE TRUMP'S INVOLVEMENT IN IRAN MIGHT 96 00:05:45.550 --> 00:05:50.170 HAVE DROVE THE COALITION APART, TRUMP WENT ON THE BALLOT. 97 00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:56.160 AND IF WE'RE GOING TO SAY THIS IS A REFERENDUM, 98 00:05:56.939 --> 00:05:58.459 IT'S NOT A REFERENDUM ON TRUMP. 99 00:05:58.500 --> 00:06:01.519 IT'S A REFERENDUM ON THE GOP AND THE SENATE. 100 00:06:01.980 --> 00:06:04.620 AFTER ALL, IT WAS THE SENATE ESTABLISHMENT THAT REFUSED TO 101 00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:07.250 END THE FILIBUSTER EVEN WITH THE PRESIDENT PUSHING AND THE 102 00:06:07.310 --> 00:06:11.529 SAVE AMERICA ACT STALLED. VOTERS SENT REPUBLICANS TO WASHINGTON TO FIGHT. 103 00:06:12.290 --> 00:06:16.889 AND TOO MANY OF THEM DIDN'T FIGHT. BOTTOM LINE IS THIS. 104 00:06:17.829 --> 00:06:20.810 You can't take a mandate from the American people and 105 00:06:20.889 --> 00:06:23.689 not deliver on the promises. And you can't be an 106 00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:28.480 outsider who takes on the establishment if the establishment doesn't 107 00:06:28.500 --> 00:06:33.500 get taken down. In the end, all of the president's 108 00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:36.160 wins and all of his successes, and there's a lot 109 00:06:36.180 --> 00:06:40.259 of them, couldn't change the way people felt about. 110 00:06:40.110 --> 00:06:43.029 The way things were going. You know, they say facts 111 00:06:43.069 --> 00:06:47.319 don't care about your feelings. But here, the feelings... They 112 00:06:47.350 --> 00:06:50.829 don't care about the facts. And that's what happened. We lost. 113 00:06:50.850 --> 00:06:54.430 We lost big. We lost the coalition. We lost the argument. 114 00:06:54.790 --> 00:06:55.709 And we lost Congress. 115 00:06:57.180 --> 00:07:00.639 It's time to pause, reflect, regroup, and figure out a 116 00:07:00.660 --> 00:07:03.579 path forward because the fight for 28 and the fight 117 00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:08.529 for America, well, they're just getting started. Still ahead tonight, 118 00:07:09.089 --> 00:07:12.629 Democrats aren't offering an olive branch. They're threatening the switch. 119 00:07:13.230 --> 00:07:15.569 The Democrat in line to run House oversight told the 120 00:07:15.589 --> 00:07:19.810 administration to lawyer up. And Hakeem Jeffries says they haven't 121 00:07:19.829 --> 00:07:22.180 ruled out anything on impeachment. 122 00:07:23.029 --> 00:07:24.750 So what stands in their way? 123 00:07:25.269 --> 00:07:28.110 Well, the president's veto pen, then the race to lead 124 00:07:28.149 --> 00:07:30.250 this party after Trump is already heating up, and then 125 00:07:30.430 --> 00:07:33.829 one governor's stock just shot up overnight, and later voters 126 00:07:33.949 --> 00:07:36.089 under 30 went Democrat nearly three to one. 127 00:07:36.350 --> 00:07:39.470 Wait till you see who they elected and why.

--> 00:08:34.519 But let's talk. 145 00:08:34.360 --> 00:08:38.429 About what they're going to do with that power. AND 146 00:08:38.509 --> 00:08:42.549 WHAT'S STANDING IN THEIR WAY? THEY'VE ALREADY TOLD US LAST 147 00:08:42.649 --> 00:08:45.610 NIGHT ROBERT GARCIA, THE DEMOCRAT IN LINE TO RUN THE 148 00:08:45.629 --> 00:08:50.679 HOUSE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE, SENT THE ADMINISTRATION A TWO-WORD MESSAGE ON 149 00:08:50.899 --> 00:08:53.659 X SAYING, QUOTE, LAWYER UP. 150 00:08:54.500 --> 00:08:57.820 NOT LET'S FIND COMMON GROUND. LAWYER UP. 151 00:08:58.580 --> 00:09:01.899 ANOTHER HOUSE DEMOCRAT, SUMMER LEE, SAID SHE WANTS TO GO 152 00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:08.590 STRAIGHT TO THE TOP. DONALD TRUMP AND THEN EVERYBODY I'M 153 00:09:08.610 --> 00:09:12.070 GOING TO TELL YOU WHAT I'M GOING TO TELL YOU 154 00:09:12.110 --> 00:09:14.149 WHAT I'M GOING TO TELL YOU WHAT I'M GOING TO 155 00:09:14.269 --> 00:09:15.590 TELL YOU WHAT I'M GOING TO TELL YOU WHAT I'M 156 00:09:15.610 --> 00:09:40.769 GOING Impeach, investigate, indict, subpoenas for the president's family, his pardons, 157 00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:45.960 immigration enforcement. And in the Senate, the new Democrats aren't 158 00:09:46.100 --> 00:09:51.360 hiding the ball. Juliana Stratton, the senator-elect from Illinois, said 159 00:09:51.399 --> 00:09:54.870 it plainly, when Democrats take back the Senate, I want 160 00:09:54.929 --> 00:09:58.409 us to end the filibuster and get things done. 161 00:09:59.269 --> 00:09:59.429 Now. 162 00:10:00.220 --> 00:10:03.860 watch the money, because that's where the real fight's going 163 00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:06.200 to be. Democrats will control spending. 164 00:10:06.580 --> 00:10:07.039 So get this. 165 00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:13.090 They stuffed their agenda into must-pass funding bills. The president vetoes. 166 00:10:13.350 --> 00:10:17.190 The government shuts down. The media blames Trump for every 167 00:10:17.470 --> 00:10:22.970 closed office and every missed paycheck. This is a party 168 00:10:23.029 --> 00:10:27.409 that has already shut down the government three times in Congress. 169 00:10:27.450 --> 00:10:29.889 Mike Johnson saw it coming. And here's the speaker in 170 00:10:29.929 --> 00:10:30.850 Shreveport last night. 171 00:10:31.230 --> 00:10:33.860 Now, look, I'm not going to exaggerate when I tell 172 00:10:33.889 --> 00:10:36.659 you that there is not a single American, not a 173 00:10:36.700 --> 00:10:39.379 single American family anywhere that's going to be made better 174 00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:43.299 off if Democrats turn Congress into a circus. And I'm 175 00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:46.159 afraid that is what some of them want to do, okay? 176 00:10:46.950 --> 00:10:49.929 If they make the next two years about retribution and 177 00:10:49.970 --> 00:10:53.289 lawfare and partisan games, every American will suffer by that. 178 00:10:53.389 --> 00:10:54.490 And I'll tell you what we will do. 179 00:10:55.029 --> 00:10:56.629 We will put a

firewall of. 180 00:10:56.610 --> 00:10:59.509 House Republicans standing in their way to ensure that doesn't happen. 181 00:10:59.850 --> 00:11:03.549 But come January, the firewall isn't in the House. 182 00:11:03.570 --> 00:11:08.269 It's at the other side of Pennsylvania Avenue. Trump's pen 183 00:11:09.129 --> 00:11:12.309 will save us. THE PRESIDENT ALREADY PUT IT ON A 184 00:11:12.409 --> 00:11:17.100 HAT VETO. LAST NIGHT HE SAID THEY'LL SEND OVER THINGS 185 00:11:17.139 --> 00:11:20.580 THAT ARE INSANE AND I'LL VETO THEM. And after a 186 00:11:20.620 --> 00:11:23.100 couple of months of that, he says Democrats will come 187 00:11:23.220 --> 00:11:24.759 asking how to get something done. 188 00:11:24.779 --> 00:11:27.629 And think about whose pen that is. 189 00:11:27.950 --> 00:11:32.289 According to House Oversight Republicans, Joe Biden's aides used the 190 00:11:32.730 --> 00:11:36.700 auto pen on pardons without confirmed approval from the president. 191 00:11:36.929 --> 00:11:40.519 Biden's pen was in the hands of his staff. Trump's pen, 192 00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:43.980 it is in his own hand. To override a veto, 193 00:11:44.019 --> 00:11:48.200 Democrats needed two-thirds of both chambers. That's 67 senators, and 194 00:11:48.220 --> 00:11:52.240 with a full House and 290 members on the current count, 195 00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:55.220 Democrats would need about a dozen Republican senators and close 196 00:11:55.340 --> 00:11:59.090 to 30 House Republicans to cross over. So the veto 197 00:11:59.179 --> 00:12:02.049 holds as long as Republicans hold. The question is, will they? 198 00:12:02.549 --> 00:12:05.710 Utah Senator John Curtis said last night, it's time to 199 00:12:05.750 --> 00:12:10.389 put petty partisan politics aside and come together. Sounds nice, 200 00:12:11.029 --> 00:12:13.029 but if you can't meet halfway with a party that 201 00:12:13.070 --> 00:12:16.169 just told the president to lawyer up, will Trump work 202 00:12:16.190 --> 00:12:18.690 with them? He says he will. He says he's already 203 00:12:18.730 --> 00:12:20.629 talked to some Democrat friends, but would. 204 00:12:20.529 --> 00:12:22.029 Democrats work with Trump? 205 00:12:22.809 --> 00:12:26.389 Jeffrey's first priorities are rolling back the president's tariffs, reversing 206 00:12:26.429 --> 00:12:28.960 his Medicaid cuts, and ending the Iran war. 207 00:12:29.700 --> 00:12:30.210 That's not a. 208 00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:33.399 Hand across the aisle. It's a demolition list. Make no mistake, 209 00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:35.539 the next two years will be decided by who holds 210 00:12:35.580 --> 00:12:39.009 the gavel. And they'll be decided by whether the president's 211 00:12:39.070 --> 00:12:43.350 pen holds as well and whether Republicans stand behind it. 212 00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:47.759 So when Democrats come with a switch, will Republicans stand 213 00:12:47.779 --> 00:12:50.440 with the president or hand everything over to them? Joining 214

00:12:50.460 --> 00:12:53.460 me now is George Papadopoulos, foreign policy advisor to President 215 00:12:53.480 --> 00:12:57.120 Trump's 2016 campaign, the author of Deep State Target. George 216 00:12:57.159 --> 00:13:01.799 understands what happens when Democrats get power, probably better than anybody. 217 00:13:02.509 --> 00:13:05.429 Welcome back, David Pollak, Prime Time. George, look, we lost. 218 00:13:06.090 --> 00:13:08.149 I've already talked about why we lost, what we need 219 00:13:08.169 --> 00:13:10.830 to do next. But I think Americans need to understand 220 00:13:11.289 --> 00:13:12.429 what's coming for them. 221 00:13:12.509 --> 00:13:15.899 And it's not bipartisanship, is it? 222 00:13:17.610 --> 00:13:17.990 Hi, David. 223 00:13:18.049 --> 00:13:19.330 No, it's really not. 224 00:13:19.610 --> 00:13:23.309 And what woke 2.0 is starting to look like is 225 00:13:23.389 --> 00:13:30.049 a more crazy version of woke 1.0. The Democrats clearly 226 00:13:30.090 --> 00:13:34.429 did not learn anything. the lessons of their failed leadership 227 00:13:35.820 --> 00:13:40.559 era when they controlled Congress during the first Trump administration. 228 00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:45.200 And basically, I believe that they're going to attempt to 229 00:13:45.259 --> 00:13:50.259 repeat the same exact mistakes that led to their abject 230 00:13:50.539 --> 00:13:55.720 failures the first time around. Look, this past election wasn't 231 00:13:55.799 --> 00:13:59.340 some sort of embrace of the Democrat Party. It was 232 00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:04.179 really an indictment on the perception that the GOP abandoned 233 00:14:04.620 --> 00:14:10.539 America first policies and principles. And now that the Democrats 234 00:14:10.580 --> 00:14:16.539 did gain control, they ultimately did not gain the numbers 235 00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:19.740 to have a super majority or to have the 60 236 00:14:19.740 --> 00:14:25.120 Senate seats required to basically overcome the filibuster or to 237 00:14:25.179 --> 00:14:29.590 circumvent the president's veto. So I don't think that the 238 00:14:29.629 --> 00:14:33.840 Democrats are going to have the numbers to basically have 239 00:14:34.570 --> 00:14:41.009 the foundational structural overhauls to the legislative process or the 240 00:14:41.049 --> 00:14:44.929 constitution that they would have liked, for example, like packing 241 00:14:44.950 --> 00:14:48.370 the Supreme Court or adding new states in Washington, DC 242 00:14:48.409 --> 00:14:52.590 or Puerto Rico. So they're basically going to resort to 243 00:14:52.830 --> 00:14:59.720 weaponizing Congress once again with various investigations, subpoenas, wasting taxpayer dollars, 244 00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:03.840 and ultimately showing the American people once again that when 245 00:15:03.860 --> 00:15:06.419 the Democrats are in power, they do not put the 246 00:15:06.460 --> 00:15:11.820 American people's priorities at the forefront, but TDS and bizarre 247

00:15:11.860 --> 00:15:15.370 wokeness will always overcome the American worker. 248 00:15:16.190 --> 00:15:18.210 Yeah, and honestly, I think. 249 00:15:19.649 --> 00:15:21.960 I know a lot of people are still absorbing what 250 00:15:21.980 --> 00:15:23.679 they saw last night and what it's going to mean. 251 00:15:23.700 --> 00:15:26.179 And I know Trump's being optimistic. I'll work with the Democrats. 252 00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:29.480 And I know Republicans always have this tendency to say, OK, 253 00:15:29.500 --> 00:15:30.620 where can we find common ground? 254 00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:31.500 That's what Republicans do. 255 00:15:31.779 --> 00:15:34.899 That's what makes so many conservatives angry, is that Republicans 256 00:15:34.950 --> 00:15:37.629 tend to try to negotiate with Democrats when Democrats haven't 257 00:15:37.649 --> 00:15:40.909 shown even an ounce of wanting to work with Republicans. 258 00:15:41.230 --> 00:15:43.269 I don't even think there's even been a honeymoon period. 259 00:15:43.309 --> 00:15:46.370 I mean, it was before elections were even certified that 260 00:15:46.389 --> 00:15:48.899 they were telling Trump to lawyer up. They're talking about impeachment. 261 00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:51.639 They're talking about everything they're planning on doing. This isn't 262 00:15:51.659 --> 00:15:53.860 going to be a collaborative government. This is going to 263 00:15:53.899 --> 00:15:56.559 be a very antagonistic and dangerous government. 264 00:15:56.980 --> 00:15:58.830 And I think in two short years, one of two 265 00:15:58.870 --> 00:15:59.909 things is going to happen, George. 266 00:15:59.950 --> 00:16:02.830 I think either one, the country goes into pure chaos 267 00:16:02.889 --> 00:16:05.789 and the media continues to blame Trump for it, and 268 00:16:05.809 --> 00:16:08.409 they try to campaign off of that in 28, or 269 00:16:08.769 --> 00:16:12.299 America rejects the Democrats once again after handing them back power, 270 00:16:12.740 --> 00:16:16.259 remembering what they did with it, and then whichever campaign 271 00:16:16.299 --> 00:16:20.179 or candidate can come through and promise wholesale sort of 272 00:16:20.240 --> 00:16:23.659 change at the top will end up winning in 28, 273 00:16:23.659 --> 00:16:25.330 I think probably the latter. 274 00:16:26.850 --> 00:16:28.789 You know, how do you think this goes? 275 00:16:28.809 --> 00:16:33.070 Do you think people will reject all of this weaponization 276 00:16:33.090 --> 00:16:34.730 from Democrats, or do you think they'll even. 277 00:16:34.610 --> 00:16:35.090 Hear about it? 278 00:16:36.649 --> 00:16:42.190 David, the Democrats have a sub-30% favorability rating. This was 279 00:16:42.350 --> 00:16:47.580 not an embrace of their movements, their ideology, or their candidates. 280 00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:51.779 In fact, I would argue that the Democrat candidates that 281 00:16:51.799 --> 00:16:54.039 we saw this past election were some of the worst 282 00:16:54.480 --> 00:16:58.230 candidates that the Democrats have thrown into an election cycle 283 00:16:58.370 --> 00:17:02.830 in the last 20 years. from extremists to DSA candidates 284 00:17:03.190 --> 00:17:09.900 to outright socialists. This is not the mainstream Democrat party 285 00:17:10.400 --> 00:17:17.119 that many expected would emerge from the first go-around with 286 00:17:17.220 --> 00:17:21.990 the failed woke policies, the socialist policies, and the outright 287 00:17:22.509 --> 00:17:28.740 weaponization effort. They've simply doubled down on their failed policies. 288 00:17:28.839 --> 00:17:32.700 And I ultimately believe that because they ran on this 289 00:17:33.589 --> 00:17:37.589 populist messaging and this attempt to basically shake up the 290 00:17:37.650 --> 00:17:40.329 system in their own way, that as long as the 291 00:17:40.390 --> 00:17:47.250 Republicans identify, embrace, and support a new wave of America 292 00:17:47.309 --> 00:17:51.990 First candidates from both urban settings and rural settings, folks 293 00:17:52.009 --> 00:17:56.980 that are telegenic, smart, embrace the America First ideology, its principles, 294 00:17:57.089 --> 00:18:01.230 put the American people first, will ultimately show that we 295 00:18:01.349 --> 00:18:05.289 do provide an alternative to the Democrats who have no 296 00:18:05.369 --> 00:18:09.650 real policy prescriptions to address the American people's issues, from 297 00:18:10.029 --> 00:18:14.049 the economy to social issues to foreign policy issues. And 298 00:18:14.109 --> 00:18:19.460 history will show that this was simply a two-year pushback 299 00:18:19.940 --> 00:18:23.980 against what the American people believed was the abandonment of 300 00:18:24.029 --> 00:18:29.450 the America First and the populist economic policies of the 301 00:18:29.490 --> 00:18:32.269 Trump administration that have been so successful in the past. 302 00:18:32.690 --> 00:18:34.809 So that's what's going to end up happening here, David. 303 00:18:35.170 --> 00:18:38.230 But we do need to coalesce around the new generation 304 00:18:38.789 --> 00:18:42.990 of the GOP and learn from these very serious mistakes 305 00:18:43.029 --> 00:18:45.369 so that history does not repeat itself moving forward. 306 00:18:45.390 --> 00:18:47.789 Yeah, and we're going to have to learn about communication. 307 00:18:48.349 --> 00:18:50.089 I think it comes down to communication, and I talked 308 00:18:50.130 --> 00:18:53.190 about it. I'm in my opening segment about the fact that, 309 00:18:53.650 --> 00:18:55.480 you know, they say facts don't care about your feelings. 310 00:18:55.519 --> 00:18:57.619 But in this election, I kept saying it. It came 311 00:18:57.660 --> 00:19:00.509 down to feelings not caring about the facts, the economy 312 00:19:00.529 --> 00:19:04.369 being strong and actually Trump's policies working. People weren't feeling it. 313 00:19:04.859 --> 00:19:08.079 And I think we weren't

able to articulate a winning message, 314 00:19:08.099 --> 00:19:09.799 and that's something we need to fix going forward, because 315 00:19:10.200 --> 00:19:12.559 Democrats are not going to make anything more affordable. Shutting 316 00:19:12.579 --> 00:19:15.380 down the government and impeaching the president makes your 401 317 00:19:15.380 --> 00:19:17.880 go down, makes your gas prices go up, and all 318 00:19:17.920 --> 00:19:20.519 the Democrat policies are going to make everybody's prices go up. 319 00:19:20.859 --> 00:19:22.700 So I think people will realize very quickly that they 320 00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:24.960 don't have a solution, which I think goes in our 321 00:19:25.019 --> 00:19:27.039 favor in 28. If we can figure out in the 322 00:19:27.099 --> 00:19:31.140 next two years, actually, in less than that, a winning message, then, George, 323 00:19:31.180 --> 00:19:32.509 I know you and I will be talking about that 324 00:19:32.589 --> 00:19:34.730 a lot going forward. Thanks for being here, as always, 325 00:19:34.769 --> 00:19:35.890 and look forward to having you on again real soon, 326 00:19:35.910 --> 00:19:36.170 my friend. 327 00:19:37.630 --> 00:19:38.950 Appreciate it, David. Thank you. Thank you. 328 00:19:41.069 --> 00:19:45.849 Coming up, some Republicans are already blaming Trump for last night, seriously. 329 00:19:46.390 --> 00:19:49.029 And if they tear him down, will they tear down 330 00:19:49.390 --> 00:19:50.400 Vice President J.D. 331 00:19:50.460 --> 00:19:51.200 Vance with him? 332 00:19:51.319 --> 00:19:54.420 So who leads this party into 2028? 333 00:19:54.420 --> 00:19:56.140 Vance?

AND THE FIRST PUNCHES AREN'T COMING FROM DEMOCRATS. 351 00:20:59.440 --> 00:21:03.319 REPUBLICANS ARE ALREADY BLAMING TRUMP. SHOCKING, I KNOW. 352 00:21:03.339 --> 00:21:08.900 A SENIOR SENATE REPUBLICAN TOLD REPORTERS IT'S A BLOOD BATH. 353 00:21:09.269 --> 00:21:10.069 TRUMP DID THIS. 354 00:21:15.619 --> 00:21:18.299 Give them a few weeks, they'll pile on with the 355 00:21:18.339 --> 00:21:21.380 media to get what they've always wanted, a Republican Party 356 00:21:21.500 --> 00:21:26.880 free of Donald Trump. But understand what that really means. 357 00:21:27.640 --> 00:21:31.200 They tear down Trump, they tear down J.D. Vance with him. 358 00:21:32.039 --> 00:21:35.160 So let me walk you through the paths in front 359 00:21:35.180 --> 00:21:38.809 of us. START WITH THE VICE PRESIDENT, J.D. VANCE IS 360 00:21:38.829 --> 00:21:42.970 STILL THE FRONTRUNNER FOR 2028. HE LEADS THE PREDICTION MARKETS 361 00:21:43.130 --> 00:21:46.470 TO BE NOMINEE, THOUGH HE DID SLIP ABOUT FIVE POINTS OVERNIGHT. 362 00:21:47.039 --> 00:21:50.079 BUT WHATEVER BLAME LANDS ON THIS WHITE HOUSE IN THE 363 00:21:50.140 --> 00:21:52.880 NEXT TWO YEARS, THE MEDIA WILL HANG IT ON VANCE 364 00:21:52.940 --> 00:21:56.279 IN 2028. TAKE OUT FROM UNDER IT, YOU'D HAVE TO 365 00:21:56.339 --> 00:21:59.000 BREAK WITH TRUMP, AND THE MOMENT HE DOES THAT, HE 366 00:21:59.099 --> 00:22:01.309 RISKS THE MAGA BASE THAT MADE HIM. 367 00:22:02.109 --> 00:22:04.789 THAT'S A NARROW ROAD, BUT J.D. VANCE HAS WALKED NARROW 368 00:22:04.829 --> 00:22:07.690 ROADS BEFORE. Then there's Marco Rubio. 369 00:22:08.410 --> 00:22:10.789 He's been one of the most successful secretaries of state 370 00:22:10.849 --> 00:22:15.470 in modern memory. The cartels designated as terrorist organizations. Nicolas 371 00:22:15.509 --> 00:22:18.069 Maduro removed from power in a matter of hours and 372 00:22:18.329 --> 00:22:21.910 brought to justice. USAID's old model shut down and folded 373 00:22:21.930 --> 00:22:23.589 into the Senate Department. 374 00:22:23.630 --> 00:22:24.990 That's right, thanks to Trump. 375 00:22:25.890 --> 00:22:29.130 And through all of it, Rubio has kept himself clean 376 00:22:29.210 --> 00:22:32.309 in the media. If anyone in this administration can survive 377 00:22:32.329 --> 00:22:36.779 what's coming, it's probably Marco Rubio. Now, Ron DeSantis, he's 378 00:22:36.799 --> 00:22:41.440 the only outsider left, and he's not in the administration, 379 00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:43.920 and he's term-limited, so he leaves the governor's office in January, 380 00:22:44.240 --> 00:22:45.349 replaced by Byron Donalds. 381 00:22:45.769 --> 00:22:48.890 He's free to run. He made Florida the model for 382 00:22:48.910 --> 00:22:49.890 conservative governing. 383 00:22:50.069 --> 00:22:52.250 And last night, while so much of the map went blue, 384 00:22:52.730 --> 00:22:55.910 Florida stayed a red beacon, and the markets noticed on Calchi, 385 00:22:55.930 --> 00:23:00.140 DeSantis jumped from about 4% to 19% overnight to win 386 00:23:00.200 --> 00:23:03.440 a nomination. And on Polymarket, he went from about 4% 387 00:23:03.440 --> 00:23:07.509 to 16%. Then there's the path I worry about the most. 388 00:23:08.269 --> 00:23:14.190 The establishment strikes back. The Bushes, Mike Pence, Chris Christie, 389 00:23:14.250 --> 00:23:18.849 Nikki Haley, Mitt Romney, John Thune. The polished crowd that 390 00:23:18.890 --> 00:23:24.710 looks presidential on the debate stage. In my view, that's 391 00:23:24.750 --> 00:23:28.880 nothing more than the Uniparty, the same go-along, get-along politics 392 00:23:28.890 --> 00:23:31.859 that gave rise to the modern Democrat Party to begin with. 393 00:23:33.309 --> 00:23:36.009 THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO SPENT YEARS FIGHTING THE AMERICA 394 00:23:36.049 --> 00:23:39.380 FIRST AGENDA INSTEAD OF FIGHTING FOR IT, AND THEY'RE NOT 395 00:23:39.410 --> 00:23:41.779 GOING ANYWHERE. SO DON'T BE SURPRISED IF THEY TRY TO 396 00:23:42.130 --> 00:23:45.720 COALESCE AROUND DESANTIS OR EVEN RUBIO AND SELL IT AS 397 00:23:45.759 --> 00:23:48.519 A MAGA ESTABLISHMENT COALITION. WE'LL HAVE TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS THERE. 398 00:23:49.240 --> 00:23:50.019 SO WHAT DECIDES IT? 399 00:23:50.660 --> 00:23:51.339 WELL, TRUMP DOES. 400 00:23:52.279 --> 00:23:54.680 IF THE PRESIDENT CAN FIND A WAY TO WIN WITH 401 00:23:54.740 --> 00:23:57.660 DEMOCRATS IN THE ROOM IF GAS PRICES COME DOWN AND 402 00:23:57.680 --> 00:24:01.220 THE WAR ENDS ON HIS TERMS, That might say Vance, 403 00:24:01.680 --> 00:24:04.009 and it strengthens Rubio. But if the next two years 404 00:24:04.349 --> 00:24:06.509 are nothing but gridlock and the media sells it as 405 00:24:06.549 --> 00:24:09.930 Trump's defiance, they'll try to take down Vance with him. 406 00:24:10.690 --> 00:24:14.289 And that's the opening DeSantis is waiting for, certainly. So 407 00:24:14.349 --> 00:24:16.549 here's what it comes down to. The future of this 408 00:24:16.630 --> 00:24:18.509 party is not the establishment. 409 00:24:19.400 --> 00:24:20.539 IT'S A FIGHTER WHO. 410 00:24:20.460 --> 00:24:26.390 WILL CARRY THE AMERICA FIRST AGENDA FORWARD. VANCE, RUBIO, DESANTIS, 411 00:24:26.410 --> 00:24:29.579 WHOEVER IT IS, THEY HAVE TO UNDERSTAND ONE THING. TRUMP 412 00:24:29.660 --> 00:24:31.579 DIDN'T JUST WIN THE ELECTIONS. 413 00:24:32.339 --> 00:24:36.039 HE BUILT THIS MOVEMENT. SO REPUBLICANS BUILD ON WHAT TRUMP STARTED. 414 00:24:37.210 --> 00:24:39.190 Or give the party back to the people we fought 415 00:24:39.230 --> 00:24:41.309 so hard to take it from. Joining me now is 416 00:24:41.349 --> 00:24:45.069 Tommy Sotomayor, conservative commentator and host of the podcast, Your World, 417 00:24:45.150 --> 00:24:48.549 My View. Tommy, welcome to David Pollak Prime Time. Look, 418 00:24:49.069 --> 00:24:51.630 we know what happened yesterday. We all saw it. We're 419 00:24:51.650 --> 00:24:52.559 all still dealing with it. 420 00:24:52.579 --> 00:24:54.039 We're

processing. I get it. 421 00:24:54.440 --> 00:24:56.619 I'm not ready to throw Trump out, you know, with 422 00:24:56.640 --> 00:24:59.339 the bathwater and say this is all on him. I'm 423 00:24:59.359 --> 00:25:01.220 putting us on the GOP. But either way, we got 424 00:25:01.240 --> 00:25:02.500 to figure out how to win it back in 28. 425 00:25:02.500 --> 00:25:04.160 What do you think the future of this party is, 426 00:25:04.200 --> 00:25:04.480 my friend? 427 00:25:07.109 --> 00:25:09.250 That's a hard one. And the problem is we haven't 428 00:25:09.269 --> 00:25:10.609 put together a secession plan. 429 00:25:10.630 --> 00:25:13.329 We never did. It was Trump and it became the 430 00:25:13.390 --> 00:25:14.069 party of Trump. 431 00:25:14.170 --> 00:25:17.849 And many people smarter than I am started to tell 432 00:25:17.890 --> 00:25:19.839 people we cannot be the party of Trump. But the 433 00:25:19.890 --> 00:25:22.940 party of Trump was feeding everybody. So what happens when 434 00:25:23.059 --> 00:25:26.579 Trump's name falls? What happens when you're a band, but 435 00:25:26.779 --> 00:25:29.700 everybody knows the lead of the band and no one 436 00:25:29.779 --> 00:25:30.859 cares about anyone else? 437 00:25:31.279 --> 00:25:33.480 That's what happened. And that's what this midterm showed. 438 00:25:33.859 --> 00:25:36.289 It showed that, well, no one cared about the band 439 00:25:36.349 --> 00:25:39.950 because the leader we no longer like. And this is 440 00:25:39.990 --> 00:25:45.130 something we should have seen coming after he lost in 2020. 441 00:25:45.119 --> 00:25:48.460 That should have been something that we were ready for. 442 00:25:48.940 --> 00:25:52.039 But the surge that came back or the perceived surge, 443 00:25:52.680 --> 00:25:54.329 And you have to remember, the surge that we got 444 00:25:54.380 --> 00:25:58.390 was against a guy who was really old, senile, an 445 00:25:58.450 --> 00:26:02.319 economy that was thanking, and then a person that he 446 00:26:02.359 --> 00:26:06.579 put in in place for him that nobody liked. That 447 00:26:06.680 --> 00:26:09.440 was a perfect storm for Donald Trump to win, but 448 00:26:09.460 --> 00:26:11.599 we looked at it as, oh, that shows how powerful 449 00:26:11.640 --> 00:26:14.349 he is. And then as we talked about in Texas, 450 00:26:14.960 --> 00:26:17.970 once you start having losses and you have people making 451 00:26:18.390 --> 00:26:21.089 excuses for the losses instead of pointing out the losses, 452 00:26:21.650 --> 00:26:24.390 this is what you have left. It was a power 453 00:26:24.470 --> 00:26:26.390 vacuum and a Democrat step right in. 454 00:26:26.970 --> 00:26:31.609 Yeah, and— And we did see this in 2020, and 455 00:26:31.630 --> 00:26:35.119 it's such a great observation because, I mean, it didn't 456 00:26:35.160 --> 00:26:37.980 take but, what, 30 seconds for Trump to lose in 457 00:26:37.980 --> 00:26:40.940 2020 before everybody said, see, it's time to move on. 458 00:26:41.160 --> 00:26:44.799 We've been waiting for this moment. We're moving on. And 459 00:26:45.019 --> 00:26:46.460 then Trump came back. 460 00:26:46.849 --> 00:26:49.410 I mean, it was Governor DeSantis didn't even show up 461 00:26:49.450 --> 00:26:52.089 in Miami when Vivek did and was like, these charges 462 00:26:52.130 --> 00:26:56.029 against President Trump are ridiculous. They couldn't wait to find 463 00:26:56.130 --> 00:26:58.529 somebody else to put up in Washington. And you have 464 00:26:58.569 --> 00:27:00.410 to think of who the they are. 465 00:27:00.500 --> 00:27:02.480 I mean, is it the Uniparty? Is it the establishment? 466 00:27:02.839 --> 00:27:05.259 Is it conservatives? Who is this party? 467 00:27:05.660 --> 00:27:07.460 Now, Trump made it very clear when he did his 468 00:27:07.500 --> 00:27:10.859 barnstorming tour in lines, around the buildings, and I believe 469 00:27:10.940 --> 00:27:12.720 it would have been a much worse outcome yesterday if 470 00:27:12.759 --> 00:27:14.279 Trump didn't do that barnstorming tour. 471 00:27:14.720 --> 00:27:16.380 I think this party still belongs to Trump. 472 00:27:16.700 --> 00:27:19.170 I think the people who very much wish it wasn't 473 00:27:19.210 --> 00:27:21.369 and it didn't, I think they certainly would like to 474 00:27:21.410 --> 00:27:24.029 see somebody else. But the media will destroy Trump. 475 00:27:24.769 --> 00:27:26.990 And the media will take down J.D. Vance with him. 476 00:27:27.009 --> 00:27:29.589 When the Democrats start their shutdowns and start their impeachments, 477 00:27:29.930 --> 00:27:32.069 Trump is going to have a really hard time getting 478 00:27:32.170 --> 00:27:33.990 on the other side of the narrative. And I don't 479 00:27:34.009 --> 00:27:36.309 know if J.D. Vance can survive it without putting distance 480 00:27:36.569 --> 00:27:38.390 between him and Trump. And if he does that, the 481 00:27:38.410 --> 00:27:40.069 MAGA base is going to shut down on him, and 482 00:27:40.089 --> 00:27:41.329 we can't lose the MAGA base. 483 00:27:41.849 --> 00:27:43.490 What has to happen, Tommy— and I'm. 484 00:27:43.410 --> 00:27:47.119 Sure you think this, too— We have to rebuild this coalition, 485 00:27:47.140 --> 00:27:49.750 and that's the swing voters, the NPAs, the Republicans that 486 00:27:49.769 --> 00:27:52.569 are willing to vote Democrat, the conservatives, the establishment. 487 00:27:52.630 --> 00:27:53.589 Everybody has to come together. 488 00:27:53.789 --> 00:27:55.569 And there's only a handful of people in this country 489 00:27:55.789 --> 00:27:57.089 that can articulate a message. 490 00:27:57.509 --> 00:27:59.390 You know, it could be J.D. Vance, but, like, I 491 00:27:59.450 --> 00:27:59.930 love J.D. 492 00:27:59.970 --> 00:28:00.210 Vance. 493 00:28:00.569 --> 00:28:02.390 I just think he's going to get destroyed in the 494 00:28:02.430 --> 00:28:05.559 next two years with this media coverage. Marco

Rubio might 495 00:28:05.599 --> 00:28:08.220 stay clean, and if he does, he might be the guy. 496 00:28:08.519 --> 00:28:09.829 He's Hispanic. 497 00:28:09.849 --> 00:28:11.970 He can speak Spanish. He's done a great job as 498 00:28:12.009 --> 00:28:16.430 Secretary of State. The establishment likes him. He's been aggressive 499 00:28:16.470 --> 00:28:19.210 when he needs to be domestically and foreign. 500 00:28:19.250 --> 00:28:22.589 He works well with the press. Is Marco Rubio our answer? 501 00:28:25.069 --> 00:28:26.869 If I were to give advice, which no one should 502 00:28:26.890 --> 00:28:30.250 probably listen to mine, avoid being a sycophant. 503 00:28:30.630 --> 00:28:31.990 Avoid being a Trump sycophant. 504 00:28:32.130 --> 00:28:36.250 Do not come across as a guy or girl who 505 00:28:36.289 --> 00:28:41.319 just rubber stamps Trump. Look like you have some pushback 506 00:28:41.380 --> 00:28:43.559 against some things that you don't agree with or some 507 00:28:43.599 --> 00:28:46.579 things that obviously you wouldn't agree with that. 508 00:28:46.660 --> 00:28:48.720 We say, hey, that's a loss. We're going to call 509 00:28:48.759 --> 00:28:49.220 it a loss. 510 00:28:50.900 --> 00:28:53.049 You have to make some inroads to the MAGA base, 511 00:28:53.089 --> 00:28:56.130 but my question is, is the MAGA base with what 512 00:28:56.170 --> 00:28:59.250 we just saw yesterday, is it a real thing? And 513 00:28:59.309 --> 00:29:01.289 if they are a real thing, did they just sit 514 00:29:01.309 --> 00:29:04.690 at home? We have to ask that. We have Keisha, 515 00:29:04.769 --> 00:29:08.269 I'm here in Atlanta. We have Keisha Lance Bottom. I 516 00:29:08.349 --> 00:29:13.359 remember believing there was no chance she could win the 517 00:29:13.400 --> 00:29:14.119 governorship here. 518 00:29:14.539 --> 00:29:18.319 No chance. And she won. And she won pretty big. 519 00:29:19.609 --> 00:29:23.250 And something like that makes me say, well, where was 520 00:29:23.329 --> 00:29:27.369 this MAGA base? Because Jackson came across as the Trump candidate. 521 00:29:27.750 --> 00:29:30.119 He never shot away from it. So where was the 522 00:29:30.130 --> 00:29:33.960 MAGA base when they needed his votes? Something's wrong here. 523 00:29:34.059 --> 00:29:37.119 And I think maybe that MAGA base is not, it 524 00:29:37.160 --> 00:29:39.599 may be louder. It's like what I have to deal with. 525 00:29:40.029 --> 00:29:42.890 There's a bunch of ratchet people who are very loud 526 00:29:43.049 --> 00:29:45.710 and they speak a lot. So we think there may 527 00:29:45.730 --> 00:29:48.650 be more ratchet people than, than they're not because the 528 00:29:48.710 --> 00:29:50.970 regular people don't speak as much. I think the MAGA 529 00:29:50.990 --> 00:29:54.960 base was a bunch of loud people who then, well, 530 00:29:54.980 --> 00:29:57.339 what happened when it was time to show? So if 531 00:29:57.380 --> 00:29:59.660 you are going to do like, I think you said something, 532 00:30:00.160 --> 00:30:02.420 And I think you'd be in Texas and you'd be 533 00:30:02.460 --> 00:30:04.740 a very good press secretary. You need to put in 534 00:30:05.119 --> 00:30:08.750 your resume for it because you said they need someone 535 00:30:08.809 --> 00:30:12.769 to articulate the wins. You're one of the few people 536 00:30:12.809 --> 00:30:15.970 who I heard that said, hey, there are wins here 537 00:30:16.269 --> 00:30:19.299 and they are doing a poor job of articulating them, 538 00:30:19.539 --> 00:30:23.380 which allows the people with the voices against this this 539 00:30:23.440 --> 00:30:27.369 presidency to be louder. And that's what won. So the 540 00:30:27.529 --> 00:30:29.589 only way to get back is to do exactly what 541 00:30:29.609 --> 00:30:32.549 you said. Is Rubio a person who can do that? 542 00:30:33.349 --> 00:30:35.710 I think if he starts stepping out of the Trump 543 00:30:35.750 --> 00:30:38.650 shadow and start becoming his own man. But if, again, 544 00:30:38.730 --> 00:30:41.269 he goes back to being a sycophant and saying, hey, 545 00:30:41.390 --> 00:30:44.759 I just whatever he says, I agree with. Nobody's going 546 00:30:44.819 --> 00:30:47.599 to want someone who agrees with the lame duck. 547 00:30:48.700 --> 00:30:49.559 Well, that's a good point. 548 00:30:49.980 --> 00:30:52.059 You know, and I think the other thing is and 549 00:30:52.099 --> 00:30:55.799 you've pointed out in the governor's race in Georgia. is 550 00:30:55.859 --> 00:30:59.990 the Trump base, the MAGA base, it's not transferable. And 551 00:31:00.029 --> 00:31:04.569 this is something the GOP has not understood since 2016. 552 00:31:04.569 --> 00:31:07.690 Acting like President Trump, pretending you're a version of President Trump, 553 00:31:07.730 --> 00:31:10.970 trying to emulate President Trump, at least the version the 554 00:31:11.009 --> 00:31:14.410 media created about him, that doesn't attract the MAGA base. 555 00:31:14.630 --> 00:31:17.470 People don't understand President Trump or why people vote for 556 00:31:17.519 --> 00:31:17.950 President Trump. 557 00:31:17.970 --> 00:31:19.500 That's the biggest fallacy. 558 00:31:19.960 --> 00:31:21.599 They assume that Trump voters were just a bunch of 559 00:31:22.000 --> 00:31:24.680 YOU KNOW, WHATEVER THEY THINK OF US, DEPLORABLE, SITTING AROUND LIKE, YEAH, 560 00:31:24.759 --> 00:31:25.220 I HATE. 561 00:31:25.079 --> 00:31:28.140 EVERYBODY, I LOVE TRUMP. IT'S WAY MORE SOPHISTICATED THAN THAT. 562 00:31:28.700 --> 00:31:31.950 AND THAT VOTE IS NOT TRANSFERRABLE TO JUST SOME RICH 563 00:31:32.009 --> 00:31:34.849 WHITE GUY IN GEORGIA JUST BECAUSE TRUMP GIVES HIM THE NOMINATION. 564 00:31:34.890 --> 00:31:38.430 IT'S NOT TRANSFERRABLE TO SOME RICH WHITE LADY WHO SHARES 565 00:31:38.450 --> 00:31:40.869 THE SAME NAME AS A LATE SENATOR IN SOUTH CAROLINA. 566 00:31:41.190 --> 00:31:44.859 MAGA ISN'T TRANSFERRABLE. MAGA, IT'S A MOVEMENT,

IT'S A FEELING. 567 00:31:45.180 --> 00:31:48.299 AND THAT FEELING, I WILL ADMIT, They didn't show up 568 00:31:48.359 --> 00:31:52.279 for the GOP yesterday because Trump wasn't on the ballot. 569 00:31:52.740 --> 00:31:55.670 His policies might have been, but Trump wasn't. And MAGA 570 00:31:55.809 --> 00:31:59.650 isn't transferable. So we have to create a movement like MAGA. 571 00:31:59.730 --> 00:32:03.190 It's not going to be MAGA. And whichever candidate can 572 00:32:03.250 --> 00:32:05.490 create a movement like that, and God forbid it's somebody 573 00:32:05.519 --> 00:32:09.880 like James Fishback who builds a movement that's anti-Semitic and racist. 574 00:32:09.920 --> 00:32:12.079 We can't have that. But we need to go to 575 00:32:12.099 --> 00:32:14.119 the black community. We need to go to the Hispanic community. 576 00:32:14.160 --> 00:32:16.000 We need to go to the communities that are underserved. 577 00:32:16.180 --> 00:32:18.859 Where Trump went in. Trump didn't ask. 578 00:32:19.059 --> 00:32:22.420 He didn't go into certain neighborhoods in Atlanta on his 579 00:32:22.440 --> 00:32:25.009 way to getting booked in Fulton County, telling people they 580 00:32:25.029 --> 00:32:26.829 had to show up. They showed up because you're like, 581 00:32:26.869 --> 00:32:28.390 you know what, Trump, you're a billionaire, but you're one 582 00:32:28.410 --> 00:32:31.289 of us. That's who the next candidate has to be. 583 00:32:31.309 --> 00:32:34.369 They have to be somebody that can appeal to people, 584 00:32:34.650 --> 00:32:39.210 these boring, rich, show up, not shake hands with people, 585 00:32:39.250 --> 00:32:41.569 doesn't do television, doesn't interact with people. 586 00:32:41.630 --> 00:32:43.450 That can't win. It won't win. 587 00:32:43.490 --> 00:32:46.339 We have to find somebody with some spirit, and we 588 00:32:46.380 --> 00:32:47.970 have to build this coalition around that. 589 00:32:48.019 --> 00:32:49.690 The MAGA base is not transferable, Tommy. 590 00:32:50.880 --> 00:32:55.059 I'm going to say something that is probably problematic. I 591 00:32:55.099 --> 00:32:57.599 don't mean to knock another network or another group of people. 592 00:32:58.980 --> 00:33:01.799 Donald Trump was able to win because he had the 593 00:33:01.859 --> 00:33:05.599 tech bros. He had the Manosphere guys. He had all 594 00:33:05.619 --> 00:33:09.789 of these guys who felt like they were disenfranchised. Well, 595 00:33:09.990 --> 00:33:12.569 you don't gain a group of people who literally left 596 00:33:12.710 --> 00:33:15.609 a group of people because they felt disenfranchised. If I 597 00:33:16.029 --> 00:33:19.369 mess around with someone's wife and she leaves him for 598 00:33:19.450 --> 00:33:22.029 me because I told her how horrible he treated her, 599 00:33:22.529 --> 00:33:25.430 if I treat her bad, too, she's going to recognize 600 00:33:25.809 --> 00:33:29.099 this looks the same. And now she's going to hate me, too, 601

00:33:29.380 --> 00:33:33.289 because I caused her to leave her original spouse. That's 602 00:33:33.349 --> 00:33:35.710 what you did with a lot of these tech bros, 603 00:33:35.750 --> 00:33:39.130 with a lot of these Manosphere guys. And I can 604 00:33:39.190 --> 00:33:41.690 say it personally, again, to knock the network, but not 605 00:33:41.710 --> 00:33:47.000 knock the network. Before the elections, Fox had me and 606 00:33:47.079 --> 00:33:49.880 every other black guy that they could think of throwing 607 00:33:49.900 --> 00:33:50.500 them on Fox. 608 00:33:51.450 --> 00:33:53.970 After the election, they never called any of us back. 609 00:33:53.990 --> 00:33:54.170 Exactly. 610 00:33:54.190 --> 00:33:56.410 They never said, let's have them back on this segment. 611 00:33:56.589 --> 00:33:59.029 Let's put them on this segment. Almost every one of 612 00:33:59.059 --> 00:34:01.319 these conservative places, and right now it's going to be 613 00:34:01.339 --> 00:34:03.279 a bunch of black people telling me right now. 614 00:34:03.559 --> 00:34:06.220 See, told you those whites were just going to use you. Well, 615 00:34:06.259 --> 00:34:07.720 that's what a lot of people felt. 616 00:34:08.000 --> 00:34:11.840 The inroads you made with blacks during the last election 617 00:34:11.980 --> 00:34:15.139 in 2024, you literally threw it in their faces and said. 618 00:34:15.659 --> 00:34:16.590 Go back on, boy. 619 00:34:16.619 --> 00:34:19.269 We don't need you anymore. Because I would even reach 620 00:34:19.369 --> 00:34:21.349 out to them and say, hey, you know, I haven't 621 00:34:21.389 --> 00:34:22.829 heard from y'all in a while. Oh, we'll get back 622 00:34:22.849 --> 00:34:26.030 to you. Jesse wants you back on the show. Never 623 00:34:26.070 --> 00:34:28.570 heard from him again. And almost every person they put 624 00:34:28.780 --> 00:34:31.159 on there, they never showed up again. 625 00:34:31.420 --> 00:34:33.199 You don't think those people got long memories? 626 00:34:33.480 --> 00:34:35.780 You don't think those people got voices when they're talking 627 00:34:35.840 --> 00:34:38.539 on their platforms and saying this is how they treated me? 628 00:34:38.579 --> 00:34:40.570 And then you hear others say they did the same 629 00:34:40.610 --> 00:34:42.469 thing to me. They did the same thing to me. 630 00:34:42.820 --> 00:34:45.349 So you don't make inroads by getting with a woman 631 00:34:45.369 --> 00:34:47.650 and then being able to bed her that night and 632 00:34:47.670 --> 00:34:50.289 then never calling her again until you need it again 633 00:34:50.329 --> 00:34:52.090 and wonder why she don't want to pick up her phone. 634 00:34:52.329 --> 00:34:55.250 And this midterm election was a whole lot of people 635 00:34:55.309 --> 00:34:57.610 not picking up their phone when you called and needed them. 636 00:34:57.690 --> 00:34:59.889 That's I agree with you completely. And that's where the 637 00:34:59.909 --> 00:35:00.690 coalition fell apart. 638 00:35:00.710 --> 00:35:02.070 And, you know, you and I have been on debate 639 00:35:02.110 --> 00:35:04.369 stages and we've heard everybody complain about all the things 640 00:35:04.389 --> 00:35:06.050 they didn't get for Christmas and they're going to punish 641 00:35:06.090 --> 00:35:08.809 President Trump and press Republicans for it. But I think 642 00:35:08.849 --> 00:35:10.940 it goes way deeper than that. And that goes, like 643 00:35:10.960 --> 00:35:13.369 I said, the transferable mega base. I think a lot 644 00:35:13.389 --> 00:35:16.050 of people were taken for granted. I think a lot 645 00:35:16.070 --> 00:35:16.860 of these Republicans. 646 00:35:17.210 --> 00:35:19.550 Trump didn't do it. This isn't on Trump. He held 647 00:35:19.590 --> 00:35:20.070 the rallies. 648 00:35:20.690 --> 00:35:23.409 The GOP did not go in any of these communities. 649 00:35:23.650 --> 00:35:26.949 They ignored these communities. Instead, they spent a billion dollars 650 00:35:27.050 --> 00:35:29.949 on mailers and said, oh, they'll show up. That's not 651 00:35:29.989 --> 00:35:31.889 how this works. That's why we lose every time Trump's 652 00:35:31.929 --> 00:35:33.789 not at the top of the ticket. Tommy, you better 653 00:35:33.849 --> 00:35:37.190 come on often because I'll keep calling you win or lose. 654 00:35:37.650 --> 00:35:39.050 You better keep coming on because we're going to have 655 00:35:39.070 --> 00:35:40.210 a lot to talk about the next couple of years, 656 00:35:40.250 --> 00:35:40.510 my friend. 657 00:35:40.530 --> 00:35:41.349 I appreciate you being here. 658 00:35:42.280 --> 00:35:44.420 Thank you for having me. And again, put that resume 659 00:35:44.440 --> 00:35:45.460 in for press secretary. 660 00:35:45.860 --> 00:35:49.090 If more people had your passion going into this, we 661 00:35:49.110 --> 00:35:50.050 wouldn't have failed. 662 00:35:49.809 --> 00:35:50.809 As miserably as we did. 663 00:35:50.909 --> 00:35:52.309 I'm going to put you as my reference, okay? 664 00:35:53.690 --> 00:35:54.369 Got it. All right. 665 00:35:54.909 --> 00:36:00.239 Take care, my friend. Coming up, young voters went Democrat 666 00:36:00.280 --> 00:36:01.420 nearly three to one. 667 00:36:01.440 --> 00:36:03.820 And look at who they elected. A Medicare for all 668 00:36:03.900 --> 00:36:08.079 Democrat in Michigan. Tim Walz's right hand in Minnesota. And 669 00:36:08.099 --> 00:36:12.059 the left's hate isn't staying rhetoric. We look at how 670 00:36:12.099 --> 00:36:15.469 the rhetoric has turned into violence. And later, the latest 671 00:36:15.630 --> 00:36:18.469 on Sunday's deadly crash in Palm Beach. 672 00:36:18.550 --> 00:36:20.239 New details.

Young voters in the exit polls, voters under 30, 688 00:37:15.650 --> 00:37:16.909 went Democrat. 689 00:37:16.449 --> 00:37:18.190 By nearly three to one. 690 00:37:18.289 --> 00:37:24.449 Young women, 77 to 21. Young Hispanic voters, 78 to 19. 691 00:37:24.449 --> 00:37:25.429 Look who they elected. 692 00:37:26.010 --> 00:37:31.380 Michigan, Abdul Mohammed El-Said, a Bernie Sanders-backed Medicare for All 693 00:37:31.429 --> 00:37:35.280 candidate who says the money we spend to subsidize apartheid 694 00:37:35.599 --> 00:37:38.320 in the West Bank should be spent in Detroit instead. 695 00:37:39.280 --> 00:37:43.699 In Minnesota, Peggy Flanagan, Tim Waltz's right hand for eight years, 696 00:37:44.260 --> 00:37:46.909 who once shared a post calling Mount Rushmore a symbol 697 00:37:46.929 --> 00:37:47.949 of white supremacy. 698 00:37:48.989 --> 00:37:52.030 That's a new left. Michelle Myers, a former. 699 00:37:52.070 --> 00:37:55.460 Miss United States and a Trump administration alum at Homeland Security, 700 00:37:55.519 --> 00:37:58.980 greeted voters at the polls this past week with RSPN. 701 00:37:59.679 --> 00:38:01.900 AND SHE SHARED ONE CONVERSATION WITH ME. 702 00:38:01.980 --> 00:38:04.260 SHE TOLD A. 703 00:38:04.260 --> 00:38:08.179 YOUNG DEMOCRAT SHE WANTS TO PROTECT LITTLE GIRLS IN THE 704 00:38:08.239 --> 00:38:09.619 BATHROOM FROM MALE PREDATORS. 705 00:38:09.760 --> 00:38:13.730 THAT SEEMS REASONABLE, RIGHT? WELL, THE ANSWER, IT'S JUST A. 706 00:38:16.199 --> 00:38:20.579 Then she shrugged and said she respected Michelle's hustle. Michelle's 707 00:38:20.619 --> 00:38:24.119 take was that these young leftists think hateful rhetoric is 708 00:38:24.179 --> 00:38:24.880 a threat. 709 00:38:24.619 --> 00:38:25.460 To their lives. 710 00:38:25.519 --> 00:38:29.090 And while Republicans understand that rape, murder and molestation are 711 00:38:29.429 --> 00:38:33.190 the real threats. And it doesn't say it doesn't just 712 00:38:33.230 --> 00:38:36.329 stay rhetoric, by the way, guys. On Sunday at the 713 00:38:36.389 --> 00:38:38.920 University of Michigan, you probably have

seen this, police say 714 00:38:39.199 --> 00:38:44.639 they watched an El-Sayed-supporting student, a Chinese student, by the way, 715 00:38:44.920 --> 00:38:50.019 parents fled communist China. She shoved a Jewish student on 716 00:38:50.059 --> 00:38:53.030 the ground, said she wanted to kill her. Prosecutors have 717 00:38:53.489 --> 00:38:54.909 authorized assault charges. 718 00:38:55.289 --> 00:38:56.590 Check it out. Am I wrong? 719 00:38:56.610 --> 00:38:56.909 Am I wrong? 720 00:38:56.949 --> 00:38:58.349 If she walked around like this in Iran, what would 721 00:38:58.369 --> 00:38:58.769 happen to her? 722 00:38:58.789 --> 00:38:59.079 Oh, oh, get off. 723 00:38:59.110 --> 00:38:59.389 Get off. 724 00:39:00.869 --> 00:39:01.349 Of her. 725 00:39:01.550 --> 00:39:02.619 Don't punch her. 726 00:39:20.239 --> 00:39:23.239 All that girl did was stand there and say, you 727 00:39:23.260 --> 00:39:24.989 wouldn't be able to say that in Iran, and she 728 00:39:25.010 --> 00:39:27.730 got attacked for it. Now, Charlie Kirk was taken from 729 00:39:27.769 --> 00:39:29.969 us on a college campus. Prosecutors say the man charged 730 00:39:30.030 --> 00:39:32.610 with his murder texted, I have enough of his hatred. 731 00:39:33.820 --> 00:39:36.150 And it's not just one campus, by the way. Look overseas. 732 00:39:36.210 --> 00:39:40.610 In France, protests turned into riots and masked mobs set 733 00:39:40.650 --> 00:39:42.269 a 19th century city. 734 00:39:42.110 --> 00:39:44.610 Hall in Le Manger on fire. 735 00:39:45.239 --> 00:39:49.840 France's own prime minister blamed what he called small far-left 736 00:39:49.900 --> 00:39:55.349 and ultra-left groups. In Spain, a conservative commentator they compare 737 00:39:55.389 --> 00:39:59.670 to Charlie Kirk was set to speak in Bilbao. Thousands 738 00:39:59.789 --> 00:40:04.059 of self-described anti-fascists showed up and acted like fascists. The 739 00:40:04.119 --> 00:40:08.800 event got canceled, and radicals torched cars and police motorcycles 740 00:40:08.860 --> 00:40:10.840 and threw rocks at a police station. 741 00:40:10.860 --> 00:40:13.269 Hmm. AND IT'S HERE, TOO. 742 00:40:13.429 --> 00:40:15.969 IN ATLANTA, FEDERAL PROSECUTORS SAY A MAN THREW A MALTOP 743 00:40:15.989 --> 00:40:18.110 COCKTAIL AT THE ICE BUILDING IN THE BRONX. 744 00:40:18.150 --> 00:40:19.969 PROTESTERS THREW WATER BOTTLES AT POLICE. 745 00:40:20.570 --> 00:40:25.760 ONE WEEK AGO, AGITATORS SHUT DOWN THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE, CHANTING NYPD, KKK, ICE. 746 00:40:25.780 --> 00:40:26.659 THEY'RE ALL THE SAME. 747 00:40:27.119 --> 00:40:30.800 AND YESTERDAY AT A POLLING PLACE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, A 748 00:40:30.820 --> 00:40:35.039 70-YEAR-OLD MAN SLAPPED AN 18-YEAR-OLD TURNING POINT VOLUNTEER ACROSS THE FACE. 749 00:40:36.119 --> 00:40:39.090 POLICE HAVE CHARGED HIM WITH ASSAULT. THEY CALL US THE 750 00:40:39.130 --> 00:40:42.650 HATEFUL ONES, RIGHT? THEY SAY IT'S BOTH SIDES. That's the danger. 751 00:40:42.710 --> 00:40:45.829 Those young voters are the future of the Democrat Party. 752 00:40:45.869 --> 00:40:48.969 That's who's showing up to vote. And they're being taught 753 00:40:49.489 --> 00:40:52.369 that the word hate is more dangerous than the people 754 00:40:52.409 --> 00:40:55.050 who act on it. Joining me now is Michelle Myers, 755 00:40:55.110 --> 00:40:57.780 former Miss United States, a Trump administration alum at the 756 00:40:57.820 --> 00:41:00.619 Department of Homeland Security and a former communications director on 757 00:41:00.639 --> 00:41:01.159 Capitol Hill. 758 00:41:01.199 --> 00:41:02.480 Michelle, welcome. 759 00:41:02.940 --> 00:41:09.280 We're up against programmed, indoctrinated automatons. who have no interest 760 00:41:09.340 --> 00:41:12.369 in actually understanding what it is that they're so upset about. 761 00:41:12.670 --> 00:41:13.409 That's hard to beat. 762 00:41:13.710 --> 00:41:15.789 It's hard to beat people that will show up to 763 00:41:15.809 --> 00:41:18.929 the polls, gather their friends around, and advocate for something 764 00:41:18.969 --> 00:41:21.269 passionately that they don't even care to take the time 765 00:41:21.289 --> 00:41:24.469 to understand. They're just that angry. So our answer to 766 00:41:24.510 --> 00:41:26.949 them isn't gonna be reasoning with them. 767 00:41:27.010 --> 00:41:29.760 That's never gonna work. Charlie tried that, and look what 768 00:41:29.780 --> 00:41:30.460 they did to him. 769 00:41:30.960 --> 00:41:33.099 I think we're just gonna have to motivate our young 770 00:41:33.159 --> 00:41:36.500 people people who can think for themselves, who are not automatons. 771 00:41:36.820 --> 00:41:38.900 We have to motivate them to show up. And that's 772 00:41:38.920 --> 00:41:40.760 where Turning Point, I think, can really fill the gap. 773 00:41:41.039 --> 00:41:41.500 I mean, you. 774 00:41:41.440 --> 00:41:45.340 Saw a lot of Trump supporters, a lot of Republicans, 775 00:41:45.360 --> 00:41:47.329 a lot of conservatives on the ground as well. 776 00:41:47.849 --> 00:41:49.909 What was the positive message you were hearing from them, 777 00:41:49.969 --> 00:41:51.389 even though the result wasn't what we wanted? 778 00:41:52.769 --> 00:41:56.110 I think the positive message from the Trump supporters was 779 00:41:56.630 --> 00:41:59.610 safety was a huge factor. I mean, if you look 780 00:41:59.650 --> 00:42:02.880 at that, that is a promise from the president that 781 00:42:02.909 --> 00:42:09.039 he absolutely fulfilled. I mean, if you look at our country, 782 00:42:09.119 --> 00:42:21.329 the murder rate fell 18.1%, David, the absolute lowest ever recorded. 783 00:42:21.730 --> 00:42:25.630 But that's not something I think people really think about 784 00:42:25.769 --> 00:42:32.769 every day. They see prices, they see you know, gas prices. 785 00:42:33.030 --> 00:42:35.369 But they're not actually thinking about that. I mean, the 786 00:42:36.050 --> 00:42:42.780

actual reduction in crime is massive. I mean, 18.1%. Think 787 00:42:42.820 --> 00:42:47.760 about how many people were saved because of the president. 788 00:42:48.099 --> 00:42:51.360 And these kids on these campuses, they can't really wrap 789 00:42:51.400 --> 00:42:53.679 their minds around that. I mean, you know, I think 790 00:42:53.719 --> 00:42:59.019 a big thing about these midterms was, you know, talking 791 00:42:59.059 --> 00:43:02.289 about communism and socialism. And I think a lot of 792 00:43:02.329 --> 00:43:07.250 these young people really don't understand the threat of communism 793 00:43:07.309 --> 00:43:09.590 and socialism. I mean, if you look at the just, 794 00:43:10.030 --> 00:43:14.230 you know, human toll of life, you know, the Soviet 795 00:43:14.250 --> 00:43:17.250 Union from 1917 through 1991, up to 61 million people killed. 796 00:43:17.349 --> 00:43:18.739 If you look at communist China under. 797 00:43:28.960 --> 00:43:34.619 Mao up to 65 million people killed, you know? And 798 00:43:34.679 --> 00:43:37.280 so I think that was kind of a problem in these. 799 00:43:40.159 --> 00:43:40.659 Midterms. 800 00:43:40.780 --> 00:43:44.400 I don't think people quite understand the threat of socialism 801 00:43:44.440 --> 00:43:48.860 and communism. You know, they're seeing prices there, you know, 802 00:43:49.300 --> 00:43:55.250 maybe not feeling as confident in their jobs, economy, But 803 00:43:55.289 --> 00:43:57.969 if you look at the threat, that is something that 804 00:43:58.010 --> 00:44:01.550 I don't think they could quite understand, unfortunately. 805 00:44:02.119 --> 00:44:04.599 Well, they're going to find out one way or the other. And, 806 00:44:05.079 --> 00:44:07.280 you know, we'll be there to offer them a better solution. Michelle, 807 00:44:07.300 --> 00:44:09.059 thank you so much for being here. Great work out 808 00:44:09.099 --> 00:44:10.690 in the field. And thanks for bringing us this story. 809 00:44:11.550 --> 00:44:12.369 Thank you so much, David. 810 00:44:12.510 --> 00:44:12.750 Thank you. 811 00:44:14.099 --> 00:44:18.389 Coming up, nine people died Sunday in a Learjet crash 812 00:44:18.719 --> 00:44:21.710 in Palm Beach County, and investigators found part of its 813 00:44:21.769 --> 00:44:25.230 tail miles from the crater. Did that cause the dive, 814 00:44:25.349 --> 00:44:29.289 or did the dive tear it off? Where the investigation 815 00:44:29.369 --> 00:44:30.889 stands right after this. 816 00:44:38.130 --> 00:44:39.949 For all of our viewers out there asking where to 817 00:44:39.989 --> 00:44:42.670 watch One America News, we'd like to introduce you to 818 00:44:42.829 --> 00:44:45.530 OAN Live.

The 828 00:45:21.280 --> 00:45:23.760 election swallowed the news, but I want to catch you 829 00:45:23.820 --> 00:45:25.409 up on where the investigation stands. 830 00:45:25.449 --> 00:45:28.489 A lot of interest in this still. The Learjet 60, 831 00:45:28.489 --> 00:45:30.869 it took off from Austin, Texas, bound. 832 00:45:31.300 --> 00:45:35.099 For the Bahamas, up around 35,000 feet, the crew reported 833 00:45:35.440 --> 00:45:37.750 ice and moderate turbulence and asked to climb. 834 00:45:38.190 --> 00:45:39.750 Seconds later came the mayday. 835 00:45:39.789 --> 00:45:43.230 The jet fell from about 35,000 feet to under 9,000 836 00:45:43.230 --> 00:45:45.789 in a little over a minute and hit the ground 837 00:45:45.849 --> 00:45:48.210 nose first near Military. 838 00:45:47.809 --> 00:45:50.699 Trail, leaving a crater. Nobody aboard survived. 839 00:45:51.559 --> 00:45:56.559 Now, here's NTSB board member Tom Chapman on what investigators found. 840 00:45:57.079 --> 00:46:01.400 Yesterday, the majority of the aircraft's left elevator crashed was 841 00:46:01.480 --> 00:46:07.159 located in three pieces within a range about 1.3 to 3.8 842 00:46:07.159 --> 00:46:11.139 miles away from the accident site. Those items are being 843 00:46:11.179 --> 00:46:15.909 retained for analysis. For those not as familiar with aircraft components, 844 00:46:16.510 --> 00:46:19.909 the elevator is a control surface located on the tail, 845 00:46:20.429 --> 00:46:23.250 which controls the up and down pitch of the aircraft. 846 00:46:23.750 --> 00:46:25.519 So that part of the tail came off in the air. 847 00:46:26.579 --> 00:46:29.780 What investigators don't know yet is whether it caused the 848 00:46:29.820 --> 00:46:31.739 dive or whether the dive tore it off. 849 00:46:31.760 --> 00:46:34.360 That's what I think happened. Weather is a key focus. 850 00:46:34.440 --> 00:46:37.519 Crews are pumping water out of the crater looking for 851 00:46:37.539 --> 00:46:41.179 the cockpit voice recorder. The co-pilot was a young woman 852 00:46:41.219 --> 00:46:44.949 from Boca Raton who earned her pilot's license at 17. 853 00:46:44.949 --> 00:46:48.090 Hers is the voice on those final radio calls. And 854 00:46:48.110 --> 00:46:51.230 she kept talking to air traffic control right to the end. 855 00:46:52.329 --> 00:46:52.929 So remember this. 856 00:46:52.969 --> 00:46:55.670 The NTSB says a preliminary report comes in about a month. 857 00:46:56.280 --> 00:46:58.969 And

the final cause could take more than a year. 858 00:46:59.030 --> 00:47:01.530 The Internet solved it in about an hour, they think. 859 00:47:02.829 --> 00:47:05.449 I know which one I'd bet on, the official report. 860 00:47:05.489 --> 00:47:08.530 Joining me now is Buzz Patterson, retired Air Force lieutenant colonel, 861 00:47:08.550 --> 00:47:13.190 a 20-year Air Force pilot, and the military aide who 862 00:47:13.269 --> 00:47:15.320 carried the nuclear football for President Clinton. 863 00:47:16.000 --> 00:47:18.539 Buzz, that's quite a resume. Welcome back. David Pollak, Prime Time. 864 00:47:18.559 --> 00:47:20.320 You know a lot about flying, a lot about airplanes. 865 00:47:20.500 --> 00:47:21.900 And by the way, every time I fly, I always 866 00:47:21.920 --> 00:47:24.260 look at your post because you tell me which airplanes 867 00:47:24.280 --> 00:47:27.119 and airlines to fly and which ones not to. So 868 00:47:27.159 --> 00:47:29.239 I encourage everybody to check out your social media on that. 869 00:47:29.670 --> 00:47:32.570 But this Learjet story, you know, it's getting buried in 870 00:47:32.590 --> 00:47:33.150 the news, but. 871 00:47:33.610 --> 00:47:33.949 Wow. 872 00:47:34.269 --> 00:47:34.989 What a story. 873 00:47:35.010 --> 00:47:38.409 A plane hitting probably 700 miles an hour, nose down 874 00:47:38.530 --> 00:47:40.969 into the ground. Everybody's blaming the female because that's whose 875 00:47:41.010 --> 00:47:43.769 voice is on. You hear the pilot praying that should 876 00:47:43.789 --> 00:47:45.429 be trying to take control of the situation. Maybe he 877 00:47:45.469 --> 00:47:47.800 couldn't and he knew it. What's your take about what happened? 878 00:47:49.260 --> 00:47:52.860 Yeah, I think that the crew screwed up, quite frankly. 879 00:47:52.880 --> 00:47:57.300 You know, the pilot in command for whether you're military, 880 00:47:57.340 --> 00:48:00.599 and I also flew for Delta for 15 years as 881 00:48:00.639 --> 00:48:03.900 a commercial pilot. The pilot in command of an airplane 882 00:48:04.039 --> 00:48:07.389 is ultimately responsible for everything that goes on with that airplane. 883 00:48:08.329 --> 00:48:13.130 And if they were concerned about the weather, I've never 884 00:48:13.170 --> 00:48:16.550 flown a Lyric, David, so I can't talk to their 885 00:48:16.610 --> 00:48:20.090 weather radar or whatever. But when you're flying an airplane 886 00:48:20.110 --> 00:48:24.800 with passengers, you basically have to depend on your weather 887 00:48:24.860 --> 00:48:28.159 radar and ATC to tell you what's coming up in 888 00:48:28.199 --> 00:48:31.079 front of you. because we don't have a lot of 889 00:48:31.119 --> 00:48:35.099 visibility on that in the air. That being said, I 890 00:48:36.659 --> 00:48:42.440 thought the pilot in command, they might have had get-home-itis. 891 00:48:42.960 --> 00:48:45.039 They might have been trying to get to their destination. 892 00:48:45.760 --> 00:48:49.239

And I think that they, you know, in my 35 893 00:48:49.239 --> 00:48:52.619 years of flying, David, I have never flown through a thunderstorm. 894 00:48:53.300 --> 00:48:56.380 I have never flown through severe icing. I've flown through 895 00:48:56.400 --> 00:49:00.019 severe turbulence because it was, clear air turbulence and we 896 00:49:00.059 --> 00:49:04.280 couldn't see it. So this stuff happens. You've got to 897 00:49:04.300 --> 00:49:06.059 avoid the weather at all costs. 898 00:49:06.380 --> 00:49:08.519 I mean, mother. 899 00:49:08.300 --> 00:49:12.349 Nature in the flying aviation is very fickle. And if 900 00:49:12.389 --> 00:49:14.650 you push her, she's going to push back. And I 901 00:49:14.690 --> 00:49:18.429 think that's what happened to these poor folks. And I 902 00:49:18.469 --> 00:49:21.469 know that the co-pilot was taught If she's on the radio, 903 00:49:22.550 --> 00:49:26.239 she's not flying. That's how it works. So the captain's 904 00:49:26.300 --> 00:49:29.760 flying and the co-pilot's doing the radios. That's typically how 905 00:49:29.840 --> 00:49:34.380 it works. And so I thought she handled it about 906 00:49:34.440 --> 00:49:38.039 as well as she could. honestly, but I do think 907 00:49:38.059 --> 00:49:40.719 that they made a mistake trying to push that weather. 908 00:49:41.019 --> 00:49:44.670 And I have learned long time ago, David, you just 909 00:49:44.730 --> 00:49:47.789 don't do that. Especially if you have passengers on board, 910 00:49:48.150 --> 00:49:50.469 unless you're going into combat, if you're going to combat, 911 00:49:50.829 --> 00:49:53.449 all the rules are off. But if you've got passengers 912 00:49:53.510 --> 00:49:55.940 and you're trying to fly from point A to point B, 913 00:49:56.500 --> 00:49:57.539 you don't push the weather. 914 00:49:58.199 --> 00:49:58.409 Yeah. 915 00:49:58.610 --> 00:50:00.690 And unfortunately, it seems what happened here, they shouldn't have 916 00:50:00.710 --> 00:50:03.969 flown through it. But more so than that, you know, 917 00:50:04.199 --> 00:50:06.860 there was a situation and I'm not a pilot. I 918 00:50:06.880 --> 00:50:09.260 just read about what could have happened with these Lear jets. 919 00:50:09.340 --> 00:50:12.329 And it's called a mock. What do they call it? 920 00:50:12.349 --> 00:50:14.079 A mock. Mock tuck. 921 00:50:14.199 --> 00:50:16.280 Yeah, mock tuck with these Learjets because of the way 922 00:50:16.300 --> 00:50:18.639 that once you get to a certain speed, you can't 923 00:50:18.679 --> 00:50:20.449 even control the airplane. And to get out of the 924 00:50:20.510 --> 00:50:23.230 mock tuck, you're supposed to put the landing gear down. 925 00:50:23.250 --> 00:50:24.269 You're supposed to create drag. 926 00:50:24.289 --> 00:50:26.110 You're supposed to slow down as much as you can 927 00:50:26.409 --> 00:50:28.409 before trying to pull out of the mock tuck. And 928 00:50:28.449 --> 00:50:30.889 it appears here probably that

vertical stabilizer came off in 929 00:50:30.909 --> 00:50:33.389 the attempt. And then I think once the vertical stabilizer 930 00:50:33.429 --> 00:50:34.989 came off, I'm sure the pilot at that point knew 931 00:50:35.199 --> 00:50:36.460 there was no recovering the aircraft. 932 00:50:36.500 --> 00:50:37.579 And maybe that's why he went to prayer. 933 00:50:38.039 --> 00:50:39.579 But it never should have been in that situation, and 934 00:50:39.619 --> 00:50:41.519 I think that's what you've articulated here. 935 00:50:41.880 --> 00:50:44.260 Buzz, it's a sad situation. It is. 936 00:50:45.780 --> 00:50:49.429 Praying for the families, David. Praying for the passengers. I mean, 937 00:50:49.469 --> 00:50:52.590 that was a young family, and they were going on vacation. 938 00:50:52.650 --> 00:50:55.570 I mean, the whole thing is tragic. But the bottom 939 00:50:55.610 --> 00:50:59.690 line here is, yeah, they did exceed Mokhtar. They achieved Mokhtar, 940 00:51:00.050 --> 00:51:05.409 and they made a couple mistakes there. When you're in 941 00:51:05.510 --> 00:51:09.079 icing and moderate turbulence, you don't climb. 942 00:51:09.340 --> 00:51:10.079 You go down. 943 00:51:10.300 --> 00:51:14.239 It's warmer down than it is going up. And I 944 00:51:14.280 --> 00:51:15.639 think that's what got him in trouble, too. 945 00:51:16.139 --> 00:51:17.949 It's a sad situation, Buzz.
