Democrat governors continue to shut down their states and cities in the hope they can bring virus levels down to where they are in Florida and Texas, where everything has remained open. Democrats say that covid-19, or as it's sometimes called, the Chinese flu with Choung Flu, the flu, Mantu or the Commy WAMI or the I don't feel Swalwell. Was I saying, oh, yeah, Democrats say that the red death is a particular threat at Christmas at Christmas time, because families and friends might gather together to worship the only son of the living God and realize that virtually everything the Democrats believe in is a hideous perversion of the design of the creation and then vote the Democrats out of office en masse to prevent the dangerous spread of Christianity.

Democrats say they must ban outdoor dining, indoor eating, making money, having opinions and loving anyone who is not in government. Plus, churches must be demolished, preferably in the middle of services. In New York City, Mayor de Blasio told reporters, quote, I do understand New Yorkers like Christmas a lot, but the mayor who loves who lives just north of Brooklyn does not. The mayor just hates Christmas the whole Christmas season. Now, please don't ask why no one quite knows the reason.

Unquote, the mayor was then taken to the hospital to be treated for a heart that's two sizes too small in California, Governor Gavin Newsom says he will prevent dangerous Christmas gatherings by flying on his leathery wings above the city and shooting fiery rays from his pitchfork at anyone trying to enter a church, gather in prayer, worship silently while sitting alone or failing to sacrifice a child to a 50 foot golden statue of Baal that looks remarkably like Governor Gavin Newsom. In Minnesota, Governor Obersturmbannführer Gretchen Whitmer said she would try to make Christmas lockdown's fun by adapting the annual tradition in which Nora tracks the flight of Santa's sleigh on Christmas Eve this year.

Wittmer says he'll also shoot him down. Trigger warning.

Today we have Rachel M reacting to my announcement yesterday of saying I finally learned how to spell Klayton and this is how I am rewarded. That's a reaction to my announcement yesterday that the show next year will probably go to once a week. And I'll be doing more fictional content for the daily wire by my by my request. And but I won't be going away. So please don't abandon the show. We want you here for this show that we do once a week.

Also, I mean, somebody did mention my Sherlock Holmes imitation. I thought that would get me some kind of acting contract right there. I thought that was one of the great moments of the show. My doing both Watson and Sherlock Holmes, how many how many podcast hosts can do that? So I've been trying to sum up where we are before the holiday is just kind of get the big idea in front of me. And I've been thinking that for a long time.

Conservatives have been fighting an old battle, which is the battle against socialism or communism. We think we're in the same fight we were in in Reagan days during the Cold War, free market, individualist capitalism against socialist collectivism and the overweening state. I think even some people on the left think we're still in that fight. We've got idiot kids following an old communist jackass like Bernie Sanders as if he had something rational to say, which if you listen to Bernie carefully, he doesn't he never says anything that makes any sense whatsoever.

But meanwhile, we're slowly waking up to the fact that the Chinese are in the midst of a full court effort to take over the world by stealth. We've already lost Hong Kong and I don't think Taiwan is going to be far behind. They wrecked our great economy with their deadly virus. They're practically running the U.N. And a recent leak of a database of nearly two million Chinese Communist Party members revealed that they had infiltrated businesses throughout the West, including the businesses that produced the new vaccine.

The threat from China is not communism, even though that's what they call it themselves. The threat from China is Chinese capitalism, a free market system without free people, you get relief from poverty and even some wealth creation without the ability to speak or act or believe the things that make you who you are. It's tyranny with profits is money at the price of your soul. How different is that in principle? How different is that in principle from Western businesses are now trying to create?

Not very different at all when Twitter censors opinions they don't like, when corporations force their employees to embrace racist leftism, when people lose their livelihoods for believing that men are not women and women are not men, or that the God of the Bible is God, these clowns aren't afraid of the Chinese.

In principle, they are the Chinese. They have a conspiracy of interests. Aoki can talk about socialism all she wants, but she's a nitwit. She doesn't have the power to reign in Amazon or Facebook or Google. She never will have that power. Those are international corporations. This is just one of their markets. They don't want socialism. They want Chinese capitalism, a free market without free people. That's the real threat we're facing. Last year, I swore after Christmas that I was not going to shop online this year and then the pandemic hit.

And all I've done is shop online. And with more online shopping during the holidays, some experts say that consumers may be at higher risk of identity theft, as well as falling victim to deals that are too good to be true and sophisticated phishing attacks. Experts recommend checking your credit score, not overspending, limiting new retail credit cards and freezing your credit if needed. Even after the holidays, it's important to understand how cybercrime and identity theft are affecting our lives this holiday season.

You could miss certain identity threats by just monitoring your credit and bank statements. If you get LifeLock, you will be protected by the leader in identity theft protection. LifeLock helps detect a wide range of identity threats like your Social Security number for sale on the Dark Web. And if they. Text your information, they'll let you know, and if you become a victim of identity theft and this is the big one, LifeLock can help you restore your identity easier than you could on your own.

And it can be a mess once they get you. No one can prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all businesses. But LifeLock can help you feel warm and protected this Christmas, save up to twenty five percent off your first year. Just go to LifeLock dotcom slash Clavon. That's LifeLock dotcom slash Clavon for 25 percent off. And I know what you're thinking. You're thinking. Yes, yes. That sounds great. That sounds terrific. But but how.

Please tell me how do you spell Clavon. It's Keleti.

There are no. That's what I was going to say, you know, I've been thinking about President Trump because now the Electoral College has spoken and even our friends at Newsmax are admitting that Joe Biden has won and he is the president elect.

You heard it here first, which was totally unpleasant for all of us. But I did I did have to tell you that that was the way it was going to end, because I knew that was the way it was going to end.

And I can't stop thinking, though, that that Trump, you know, he lost the election. I don't believe it was stolen. I mean, I think there were shenanigans. But he lost the election with the help of the press. So dishonest press and with his own personality. But he hasn't did not lose the big fight. This was a major, major administration yesterday. You know, sometimes when I work out, I like to watch old movies that I've already seen because I can't really pay attention.

So I'll just watch some old film that I liked and I saw on yesterday when I was working out, I was watching watching Moneyball, which is Brad Pitt. He plays Oakland A's general manager, Billy Beane. There'll be some spoilers in here, but it's a true story has been transformed baseball by fielding a winning team of inexpensive players with great stats instead of blowing money on underperforming stars. It was called Moneyball because basically he did. He won as many games as the Yankees one year by spending about a third of almost a tenth, I think, of what they were spending.

So the A's got to the postseason, but then they lost. And when they lost, they didn't make it all the way. And when they lost, being was slammed by the so-called experts for what they said was a failed experiment. So there's a scene in the movie being is depressed. He's felt like a failure all his life. He feels he's once again tried to do something big and failed. And the owner of the Boston Red Sox, John Henry, was played by Arliss Howard, a terrific, terrific actor, calls him up and he offers him more money than any general manager in baseball.

And he says to him, you didn't actually fail. You had transformed the game. And this is the speech he makes to him. This is cut one.

I know you're taking the teeth out there, but the first guy through the wall, he always gets bloody always. This is threatening not just a way of doing business, but in their minds is threatening the game. But really what's threatening is their livelihood is threatening their jobs, threatening the way that they do things. And every time that happens, whether it's a government or a way of doing business or whatever it is, the people who are holding the reins, their hands on the switch, they go back crazy.

They've been has not really failed. He has changed the game forever. And the powers that be who thought they had stopped them and thought they could run him out of town are just going to have to change to keep up with what he did. And that's Trump. That's Trump. He's taking it in the teeth because he was the first guy through the wall. The people who are holding the reins was the cultural left and the corporations. They all went crazy on him trying to stop him because he was a threat to their jobs, to their way of doing business.

But like Billy Beane in the movie, he didn't lose. He won because he brought the truth out of the woodwork. It's not a conspiracy. It's a conspiracy of interest. It's not that American corporations in the news media in Davos and China are all working together, you know, plotting things out in little rooms. It's that they're all working for the same thing, a free market where the top people make billions and the rest of us do what they say.

For the rest of us, there's censorship and ideological lock step and climate fetishism and imitation democracy with changes of regime that mean nothing because the rich and powerful are running the show. This isn't new. It's just automated now. It's computerized and it's not a shooting war. This is important for us to understand. It's an information war. We saw it in this election. That's the fight. We're in a war to get out information and cultural substance. That's the fight we're in and that's the fight the Trump was fighting.

And that is what has changed everything. So. You know, I always give you tomorrow's news today, and I'm going to tell you this, Joe Biden's not going to be president. He's not if he's president, I'm not saying it's a conspiracy, a hidden cabal controlling the president. I'm just saying he has not got what it takes to run this country for very long. Maybe a year. Maybe he's got a year. I don't know. You know, I just do not believe that this is the guy who's going to be running the country for very long.

It's going to be run by a consensus and it's going to be run by the people. It's going to be run by the swamp. It's going to be run by the swamp. And don't think I mean, if you're afraid that Kamala Harris is going to come in and then everything is going to become leftism and socialism and all this. Kamala Harris hasn't got the talent or the intelligence to do that. She is not that as big a threat as you think?

And I think what this is really is it's the end of the baby boomer legacy. It's the end of the baby boomer time. It's is has to be. I've always wished the baby boomers that generation could die without taking me with it. But we need to stop fighting the Cold War, on the one hand on the right. And we need to stop trying to install the age of Aquarius on the left. We need new blood. There's not going to be another Trump.

You only get one guy like this in your lifetime. I mean, he's just too big a character, too wild. But there's plenty of candidates who can do the great things we need them to do as long as we don't let two things happen. One is we can't let the Jeb exclamation mark GOP come back. That I just don't. I think if they think that's happening, they are just out of their minds. Those you know, the people who told us that illegal immigration is an act of love and, you know, we need to restore you know, we need to government has to go and help and we need to be kinder and gentler in government.

We need compassionate conservatism. That stuff is gone. It's done. Fearless conservatism is what Trump brought to the table. Fearless conservatism with an eye to the people, with the eye, to the working class. The other thing we can't do is we can't let these Nick Fuentes wing take over the party. These guys are bad, bad news. They you know, Trump was always called a racist, but he never did a racist thing. But they heard they thought he was a racist.

And they are pushing that agenda, telling you you're a RINO. If you don't hate people who are different than you telling you, you know, you're a bad person. If you believe that maybe the left has some points about being compassionate and inclusive. I'm not against compassionate. I'm not against inclusion. I'm against big government. And I'm against crackdowns on freedom. That's what I'm against. And so if we don't let the Fuentes wing or the Jeb exclamation point wing take over the party, there are a lot of good things that we have to do.

We can do, because the most important thing we're trying to do is we're trying to keep the structures, the founding structures in place. And the reason we're trying to do that is because James Madison specifically created them to put factions against each other to play vises off one another. The idea that he and George Washington understood was that you can't depend on virtue. Virtue is something we each have to seek out for ourselves. You can only put human vices against each other so that not one of them triumphs.

And that's why the left is always trying to break those structures down because they want their vices to win. And that's why good conservatives, good conservatives are not fighting to win. They're fighting to keep the structures in place. And, you know, obviously we're fighting to win through the structures, but the structures come first because they're going to be bad guys on the right one of these days. One of these days, you're going to wake up and you're going to see that your party is doing something really wrong and you're going to have to speak out against it.

One of these days, the left is going to be doing something wrong and maybe some good leftists will speak out against it. It's always about keeping the power centers balanced. And that's the problem with these big corporations, is that they are power centers and they're out of control because no one government can control them. Bill Barr and I know some of the people on the right have been hammering him, but Bill Barr was a role model in this. He resigned yesterday or said he was going to resign, said in his letter, no one really knows why, but it's probably because he couldn't sign on to the election Steele story that drove Trump crazy.

It drove Trump crazy that he hid the Hunter Biden investigation, which was dodgy, I think is DOJ regulation is not just used to be policy, but I think they actually made it a regulation that you do not expose investigations that could affect elections because we don't want politicized investigations like we got during Obama gate. That's what we don't want. And so we as Republicans, as conservatives are always fighting to keep the structures in place. You know, I can see a lot of good solutions to the immigration problem, but they've got to be done by law.

The solution can't be on the borders, open illegal people can come in. It can't be like in Washington where they say, well, if you rob somebody and you're really poor and we feel for you, then robbing people is all right. No, we have to be a nation of laws. That's what it means to be a nation of laws, not of men. It means the rules are the same for everybody, rich and poor. And I don't want the rich to rob people through white collar means.

I don't want the poor to rob people at gunpoint. That's that's not the way we're going to live. We've got to live by the law. And the thing about the thing about Bill. Is he wasn't Trump's wingman, Trump got angry at him all the time, but the left was constantly was constantly attacking him for being basically a Trump toady for basically they called him Trump's personal lawyer. And that was a lie. That was a lie. But he did a lot of good stuff and they partied.

They parted amicably. It was not the typical Trump. Oh, here's a Twitter tweet. You're fired. Trump tweeted that our relationship has been a very good one. He's done an outstanding job and he's leaving to spend time with his with his family and bars. Letter was a masterpiece of praise and decency. He said, I appreciate the opportunity to update you this afternoon on the department's review of voter fraud allegations in the 2012 election and how these allegations will continue to be pursued at a time when the country is so deeply divided.

It is incumbent on all levels of government and all agencies acting within their purview to do all we can to assure the integrity of elections and promote public confidence in their outcome. I would translate that into sorry, but you lost the election and there's nothing I can do about it in the DOJ. And yes, I will leave because I know it's making you furious. That's the way I translate that. But then he goes on, he says, I'm greatly honored that you called on me to serve your administration and the American people once again as attorney general.

That's something to remember. He had this title already. He didn't need to do this again. He did it because he thought it was important. He said, I am proud to have played a role in the many successes and unprecedented achievements you have delivered in the American people. Your record is all the more historic because you accomplished it in the face of relentless, implacable resistance. Your 2016 victory speech in which you reached out to your opponents and called for working together for the benefit of the American people was immediately met by a partisan onslaught against you in which no tactic, no matter how abusive and deceitful, was out of bounds.

The nature of this campaign was the effort to cripple, if not Alster, administration with frenzied and baseless accusations of collusion with Russia. So anybody who thinks this guy is trying to make up with the left, you know, because this is one of the things you hear on the crazy right here, people say now he's just hoping that the left will take him back. Obviously not. He says few could have weathered these attacks, much less forge ahead with a positive program for the country.

You built the strongest and most resilient economy in American history, one that has brought unprecedented progress to those previously left out. You've restored American military strength by brokering historic peace deals in the Mideast. You've achieved what most thought impossible. You have curbed illegal immigration, enhanced the security of our nation's borders. You've advanced the rule of law by appointing a record number of judges committed to constitutional principles. With Operation Warp Speed, you delivered a vaccine for coronavirus on a schedule no one thought conceivable, a feat that will undoubtedly, undoubtedly save millions of lives.

That's quite a letter. You know, that's how you know the guy. This is how, you know, this guy is a good guy, because if he were quitting to save his reputation with the left, which is what some of the left are saying to, oh, you know, he thinks he can restore his reputation.

That is a big F you from billboard to the left. He thought they acted despicably, but only only because they did. And he again, is one of Trump's real victories. He took on the media. He stood up to the media. He he is protected John Durham to make it that he's made it very hard for them to remove John Durham, who is continuing the Obama gate investigation. I know a lot of you are unhappy that that didn't come out before the election.

But again, investigations are not there to affect elections. They're there to get at the truth. I hope the truth will come out. He he ended that Michael Flynn catastrophe, that real miscarriage of justice. He put the he put the DOJ back on course after the depredations, the absolute corruption of the Barack Obama administration. He did a good job. And I think that we on the right should look at him as a role model for what we want from the future.

We want honesty. We want straightforward. And if they if you if the left is going to be the socialist or fascist, not, you know, Nazis, then we want to be the good guys. America will vote for that. We can win with that. And I think we should. I think that's what we're fighting for and have been fighting for all along. You know, I used your life a few months ago. I can't remember how long ago to get a picture of myself into a painting of myself.

That's what they do. You send them a picture and they have an actual painter work with you to turn that photograph into a painting. So this Christmas, you can give someone you love a gigantic painting of me, too. Or, you know, who knows? You might want to give them a painting of yourself or your kids or or maybe your dog or just a pleasant scene. But no, I think I think a painting of me is probably the best idea.

So I've got to paint your life and you will get a professional hand painted portrait possibly of me created from any photo of me at a truly affordable price. You send the picture in and they work with you. They keep in touch with you. You can choose from a team of world class artists, work with them until every detail is perfect. You can order a custom made, hand painted portrait possibly of me. It's a quick and easy process at Paint Your Life.

There's no risk if you don't love the final painting, your money is refunded, guaranteed, and right now as a limited time offer, get 20 percent off your painting. That's right, 20 percent off and free shipping to get this special offer, text the word Andrew to 64000. That's Andrew to sixty four thousand. Text Andrew to sixty four thousand pincher life. Celebrate the moments that matter most or just get a big picture of me. You know, Biden, when I say this is an information war, what I mean is that I've always said this.

The wars fought in the culture and part of the culture is the news. Culture is the information and that is what they're there. That's what was stolen in this election. The Hunter Biden, the suppression of the Hunter Biden story was the ultimate act of suppression after spreading the Russian hoax, after spreading the good people on both sides hoax, which Joe Biden completely believes because the guy's an idiot, you know, by doing all that stuff, that's that's what was stolen was the power of information, because that's what they want.

They want you marching in lockstep. You know, all the Ayn Rand people, they think all money, money is where virtue is.

Money, if you're doing and no, see, the Chinese have got it all figured out. They've got a great way that they can make money, that they can pull people out of poverty and good for them. But as long as those people being pulled out of poverty don't do anything like worship Jesus or speak their minds or say, hey, you know, the guy in charge is corrupt and shouldn't be telling me what I can say, then they disappear like that.

And yeah, Jack Dorsey doesn't kill people. And when I say in principle, that's what I mean, was jackboots. Darcy Dorsey is not killing people at Twitter, but he's silencing people. The people who are dragging you into the car to teach you about white supremacy and dog whistles and crap like that. They're not killing you, but they're making it hard to make a living unless you're willing to admit that a woman can suddenly turn into a man just by wishing and that white people are to blame for everything.

I mean, this is the thing they want. They want ideological lockstep while they make a fortune. And if you don't think if you don't think Biden is part of this, that they just again, it's not a conspiracy. It's just they all have the same interests. They all want ideological lockstep. So he made his victory speech yesterday because the electors cast their votes and he is now the president elect officially. And and here's what he said. This is cut nine.

The vice president elect, Harrison.

I earned three hundred and six electoral votes, well exceeding the 270 electoral votes needed to secure victory. Three hundred and six electoral votes is the same number of electoral votes that Donald Trump and Vice President Pence received when they won in 2016.

Excuse me, at the time President Trump calls elected the Electoral College tally a landslide by his own standards. These numbers represent a clear victory then, and I respectfully suggest they do so now.

OK, fair enough. You know, he's got the right to do his victory lap. You can hear him coughing there. He's coughing through the whole speech. He's not going to make it long. The guy's one hundred and ten years old. He's not going and he's frail and he's losing his mind. He's not going to be president for very long. But then he's walking off the stage. And Peter Doocy, the one reporter in the room, you know, the one actual journalist in the room from Fox calls out, what about the Hunter?

What about the Hunter Biden investigation? And this is Biden's response got.

Well, thank you. Thanks for the congratulations. Appreciate it. I don't need no stinking journalists, I don't need to answer no stinking questions. That's that's Joe Biden. That is going to be the war and it's going to be fought by the press. The press is going to fight for his right to keep secrets, to close down investigations, to do all the dishonest stuff that they accused Trump of doing and sometimes Trump would have done but didn't do because he had good people who stop them.

They are going they are going to be part of this, you know, if you don't think so. Here is CNN's David Challen. He's vice president for CNN. David Johns celebrating, celebrating Biden's victory cut 14.

It is sort of a day to step back and celebrate democracy, but it is also a day that has responsibility attached to it. Our responsibility to show all the viewers to show the country and the world this process unfold while Donald Trump and his allies want to suggest falsely without any any realm of fact, that the election was rigged or stolen or some way, not what it is now.

And we know we can trust David Sallyanne of CNN because we have him on tape from Project Veritas, spiking the Hunter Biden story, covering it up and covering up by saying a very, very particular thing is cut a Jeff Zucker talking and then the same David Chaiten just heard celebrating democracy, because there's not an element of any kind of proof that there was any kind of fraud anywhere ever in this election.

This is a cut on the Breitbart, New York Post, Fox News, rabbit hole of underbite, which I don't think anybody outside of that world understood. Last night, The Wall Street Journal reported that their review of all four of the records so showed no role for Joe Biden on the on the Chinese deal. And yes, I put more credibility in The Wall Street Journal than I do in The New York Post.

Obviously, we're not going with the New York Post story right now on Hunter Biden and which seems to be giving its marching orders to Fox News and the right wing echo chamber about what to talk about today. Obviously under Biden's lawyer is quoted in the New York Post piece and just continue to report out. This is the very stuff that the president was impeached over.

So it doesn't really sound exactly like he thinks. It sounds this is what the president was impeached over because the Democrats were protecting this vast web of corruption. That is the Biden family. The Biden family has been doing this for, you know, centuries and centuries. I think they were actually doing this in 1776. They were influence peddling. And they everybody knows they do it every you know, it's alleged. We'll say it's alleged. Right? It's alleged, but it's alleged by just about everybody.

They all know he's doing it. And Trump said, you know, to the president of Ukraine, you ought to investigate this. They impeached him with the press playing along. It's an information war. That is the war that we're fighting. And, you know, it naturally pushes them again into the Chinese camp. It's not you know, I'm sure that the Chinese are trying to infiltrate the Republicans as well. I'm sure there are plenty of Republicans who would sleep with the Chinese spy, believe me.

You know, but but it puts the Democrats in a particular position, a particular position of defending things that support the Chinese and not just the Democrats. The swamp in general. Yesterday, Schlichter was doing a local L.A. show. They actually true. They asked me to do it, but I didn't want to do it. So they settled for Curt. So it was a drop down, but no coercive of power. I'm just I'm just kidding. But he had Congressman Lee Zeldin of New York on talking about talking about the problems.

What are the problems with dealing with China? Let's play the first cut four on multiple levels.

They're compromised as it relates to China. One is you have the historical status quo way of thinking. So some are just ingrained in continuing to think the way that they've always think. They've always thought for years or decades of their service. So that's one issue, too, is you see individuals who get compromised, Joe Biden, Hunter, Biden, the Biden family. You start to make business dealings, decisions, and you get compromised at at that next level.

So that's so that's the way the Democrats are caught up, is that this is the way of thinking, this is the way the swamp thinks. And that means that individuals are going to get caught up in the Chinese. And and the resistance to Trump also help this cat fight.

We're just going through and coming off of a rough experience for our country as relates to coronavirus. I mean, that started in China and. When you have this desire to resist, oppose, impeach and obstruct President Trump and anyone associated with him with regards to everything and anything, you start to provide cover to China because you're afraid that if you go after China, then somehow you can't blame President Trump for coronavirus as much as you want to. So that third piece is the political calculation where Democrats see to their advantage to provide cover on multiple levels or compromise.

You can see it's a conspiracy of interests. They're compromise on multiple levels because it's the swamp way of thinking, because they have personal investments and because hitting China makes it harder for them to hit Trump. And so in every way, they are soft on China and a good place for China to move into influencing America. Mike Pompeo made this point on Newsmax that it's Donald Trump has been unique in his dealings with China, has cut three.

Donald Trump is the first president. This is not political at both political parties looked away. But to me, to the Chinese Communist Party, President Trump said enough. And we've begun to turn the corner and build out a coalition all around the world of democracies and free market economies to push back against this threat.

When you were speaking to Georgia Tech just recently, you called Peng's intentions nothing short of sinister. Talk about that a little bit. Or does Georgia Tech.

I was talking about a particular area that's the America's education institutions where they have infiltrated said spies. You've seen what the FBI has done recently. They now 360000 Chinese students studying here in America. Some of them are here just to study, but many of them return home. We care deeply about the Chinese people. We want them to be successful, but we can't allow them to come steal secrets from our leading research institutions, places like Georgia Tech. We can't allow the Confucius Institutes to act in ways that work against the American people.

Those are the kind of things that President Trump has taken on. We're beginning to have success. There's an awful lot more work left to be done.

This is the Trump victory. This is the Trump victory because there's more work to be done. And now we know and they're going to be people, the Reagan of the future, of the Cold War, of the future, that the Reagan of the future is going to have to win. Is this war not against socialism, but against Chinese capitalism? And remember, when you look at Twitter, when you look at Amazon, when you look at Davos, China isn't a threat to their agenda.

It is their agenda. Chinese capitalism is their agenda. Maybe they don't want to kill people. Maybe they want to put people in camps, but they want to silence them. They want ideological lockstep and they want a free market in which they make billions. But you can't go to work because your store is closed. That is the that is the thing. The Trump is exposed. He may not have meant to do it, but his just his attitudes did it.

His way of operating did it. And now the GOP knows and if they try to go back to Jeb, exclamation point or they try to go to Nic Fuentes, you know, racism, they're going to lose. But if they follow this point, this point that freedom, the threat to freedom in our generation, in your generation, not mine, because I'm not going to be around to see the end of this fight. But the threat to freedom now is Chinese capitalism.

It's Ayn Rand pianism. It's the idea that money is everything, but freedom doesn't matter. It's the other way around. All right.

And it means you can be in the mailbag tomorrow and have all your problems solved, which is better than having your problems not solved. On top of everything else, the top of trumps other victories, the vaccine rollout has begun, which is just a miracle. I mean, it really this is the thing, you know, it's so easy in politics to get caught up in the bad news. And God knows this year has had plenty of bad news.

But we're still living in this world of wonders. They're still wonderful, wonderful people. You know, if you have to go to hospitals for tests, if you go to hospitals for minor procedures and things like that, you meet these people who are coming up who are some some of them are one generation Americans. There are of all different colors, every possible different color. There are every possible different kind of person. And yet they're so dedicated to what they're doing and they're so friendly and they're so kind.

And it's just a wonderful, wonderful thing. And they have been going through hell with this vaccine. There's just no question about it that this has been a really dangerous thing and now this miraculous vaccine out in a year. And I just think it is time for us to all stop and appreciate, appreciate the encouragement that our news media gave to Donald Trump when he said he was going to get this vaccine out in a year or that he hoped to get out in a year.

The way they cheered him on, the way they stood behind him. This is from our media research center. It's long, but it's worth playing the whole thing because it's just too beautiful as this vaccine rolls out to remember what the media told us about it all through the year, there's cut seven and on a vaccine.

We'd love to see if we could do it prior to the end of the year. But many scientists, including the president's ousted former top vaccine official, say that is overly optimistic. That's an ambitious timeline and many health experts aren't so sure it's achievable.

So many experts and doctors today immediately cast doubt on that. Experts say he didn't need a miracle to be right. It would take over a year. Experts are warning that kind of timeline may be overly ambitious.

Health experts pushing back so many experts with NBC News did a fact check on this today that a coronavirus vaccine, Trump says it could come up this year. This sort of happy talk that he's doing about a vaccine, you cannot talk yourself into a vaccine. The fastest a vaccine has ever been produced from start to finish is five years.

Previous vaccines have taken years to develop.

History actually holds a lot of different lessons for us about politicians rushing to science when it comes to vaccines.

Well, we get the best vaccine in this timetable. Or will we just get a vaccine?

This kind of promise is clearly political, but it's also remarkably dangerous. Some have even argued it's perhaps dangerous.

So if we say, well, they can't really get this vaccine, the science is questionable. Now, where the negative nancies. Oh, look at that.

Acosta always trying to kill our optimism and negative nancys. Jim Acosta. Jim, look at me. And Jim Acosta tweeted, oh, look, you know, here is Trump. Here's the experts telling Trump he's not going to have a vaccine this year three times and Trump isn't listening. Just wonderful stuff. I think we have to just balance that with the with the video of nurse Sandra Lindsay in Queens, New York, being the first lady to get the vaccines cut, 15 everything.

That's why I came here, to give President Clinton. I am very proud to be a health care worker, and I'm also very proud for the nations to promote public confidence and the safety of the internationally and encourage everyone to take the vaccine.

That's great news. And here's Boston Medical Center's medical staff. This is there there's, you know, support medical staff reacting to vaccines. Cut 21.

I do my nails, baby, you. I need to kick off a soon. Take a deep breath. You are the big fight. A little happy over there, you know, I mean, you got to think about it because, you know, I haven't worried too much about this vaccine. I've taken, you know, reasonable what I feel were reasonable precautions. But I've seen everything, you know. And if it's time, it's time, it's time.

And, you know, but if you're a health care worker and you're watching the people, the people come into the hospital, the people who are really suffering, and they're you watching people die every day and you know that, you know, you're exposed to it all the time. It is a beautiful, beautiful thing. That's private industry working with government support, which is the way it ought to be. And and, you know, people get worried about this and about the effects of the vaccine.

You know, they don't like government programs. It's always in America. There has been a deep, deep suspicion. When I was a kid, they put fluoride in the water because it helped with cavities and people seriously, they believe that fluoride was intended to just so you know, nothing's changed, that fluoride was intended to weaken your will so that the communists could take you over. That was actually what people thought about fluoride. And now with this to say, I was reading that they found some of these Chinese communists were embedded in Fizer and one of the other companies.

And I was thinking, so the vaccine will keep you safe, but suddenly you'll be able to speak Chinese. Maybe you won't be able to speak anything but Chinese. So I'm joking, by the way. I don't want people. Oh, my God. I don't want to tell you that the Chinese are coming after me. No, don't think that. Obviously, you should you should definitely take this. And so far, we used I mean, we did the right thing.

We used the United Kingdom as our guinea pigs. I mean, therefore. Right. You know, we use the British as guinea pigs. They seem to still be they're talking in that funny way. And so we can now agree that it's safe. Personally, I think we are an actual more danger from our politicians. I know the vaccine has taken a high toll. There's a high toll, 300000 people there saying I don't know how much of that is actually literally from the vaccine alone.

It's not like the 1918 horrible flu after World War One that killed close to 700000 people in America, I believe killed like five percent of the population of the world. And horrifically, it killed the young and not old people. It killed young people because they had that reaction. They this has happened a little bit with this disease, but not as much that reaction where the immune system overreacted and killed them. It was just terrible. People dropped in their steps.

It was such a horrible disease. And that was six hundred seventy five thousand people. I'm thinking with a population, of course, that was much smaller in those days. So it hasn't been like that. And it has taken more people who are old and had other conditions. And, you know, what do you say about somebody who's got like fourth, you know, fourth stage cancer in the eyes of of this? You know, I don't even know if that's really dying of covid, but but still, it has been a tough, tough disease and these people are in there fighting it.

And so this is good news. But but having said all that, having said all that, the worst threat is from our our governors because, you know, The New York Times every day would run on there, at least on their digital page, would run this big map of where the flu was. Worst of all, suddenly that big map has vanished. The electors voted for Joe Biden, suddenly hasn't vanished. It's just gotten very, very tiny and it's hard to get to it.

But if you look at it, if you look at it, the places that are doing best to Florida and Texas, where things have been largely open, now people take precautions. It's not like they're being stupid. It's you know, they are trying to they do wear masks and things like that. That's not you know, it's not a violation of your freedoms to to take precautions when there's a disease going around. But but they haven't done these shutdowns that they're doing in New York, in New York.

They're threatening to shut down everything. They've already shut down a lot year. Gavin Newsom talking about this. And this is truly infuriating.

Governor of California cut to as soon as we extinguish this virus, as soon as this virus is eliminated, as soon as this pandemic is behind us, this state will recover more resilient, more vibrant than ever. And so the most important thing we could do from an economic perspective is focus on public health, focus on mitigating the spread of this virus, eliminating this virus. And the most important thing, non pharmaceutical intervention we can do is wearing face coverings.

The most important pharmaceutical intervention is getting a vaccine when it's available, when you your number probably is up. And so we're encouraging everyone to do that.

This is so infuriating because we all remember 15 days to slow the spread, which was like fifteen years ago at this point.

And so they lie and lie and lie and then don't wonder why people resist, wonder why people stare them down and don't do what they say. Again, this is part of the information war when you are have got people telling you it's fifteen days to slow the spread and then suddenly in Democrat state. Now, the disease doesn't care what you are, it doesn't care if you're a Democrat or a Republican, but in Democrat states, there are these brutal, economy destroying, dream destroying, life destroying shutdowns.

But you look at the map and the map is pretty much the same no matter what you do, the disease is the disease. And the reason for that is you can't shut down everybody. Somebody's got to bring the rich people their food while they are on the Internet, trading stocks and doing all that stuff. Somebody has got to do the work to keep the lights burning, to keep the electricity on, to keep the water flowing. All that stuff has to be done.

And so you can't stop. The spread of the disease is the disease. It went away during the warmer months. It came back during the colder months. Shutting down outdoor dining is ridiculous, shutting down churches. You know, if people take precautions in churches, it's all just a matter of Democrat policy. And again, it is you know, it's just amazing to me. It's amazing to me that these millionaires and billionaires have no feeling for the people who have small businesses.

They're willing to shut down their businesses, but they won't shut down a race riot. They won't shut down protests. They won't shut down. You know, Nancy Pelosi wants people to come once the legislature has to come back in and vote for her, for speaker of the House, again, they she wants them to come in. They couldn't come in to vote for aid packages for the working class. They couldn't come in and vote for that. But she wants them to come in and vote for Nancy Pelosi to be speaker of the House.

So all of this stuff, the hypocrisy, the unfeeling, unfeeling remarks about people who have to make a living, that somehow they're stupid, that they're anti antiscience and the complete disregard for the suicides and the depression and the children not being educated in the ruined lives is part of this thing. It's part of their agenda. See, it's not again, it's not they're not doing it on purpose to hurt people. They're doing it because that is the way they see the world, that the important people are them and the rest of us are just kind of the cogs in they great and wonderful machine that's going to make the oceans recede.

It's going to clean up the environment. It's going to make all the racism go away because anybody who says anything that they don't like is going to be silenced and cut down out of work. It's going to make gender parity perfect because you know what gender you are or whatever gender you declare. Girls won't be able to play sports anymore because they won't be choosing. They won't have other girls be up against other girls on their teams. But you know, what's a girl?

How are you going to define women? What's all that mean? Again, this is this is the thing that Trump has exposed. And like I said, it doesn't have to be a big conspiracy theory. It is just a conspiracy of interest. They are all interested in the rich getting richer and in ideological lockstep. And Donald Trump has created the possibility of a party that can defeat them. He's created the possibility of a party of people, of all different colors, of people in the working class and people in the upper class who support the freedom of their fellow Americans who are not as wealthy as they are.

He's created the possibility of a winning party before Donald Trump. The Republicans, many, many people on the right were saying that no Republican would ever win the presidency again. I believe that there is a huge chance that Republicans will win the presidency in the very next election if they don't go to the racist right and if they don't go to the Jeb exclamation mark. Right. But they follow the path that Donald Trump has laid out. He lost, but he won.
