"Hello, I hope that your weekend was good.
This week on the podcast, Zach Graumann and I unpack what happened on Election Day. It got a little emotional. Zach said, “Man, I’m tired of being right.”
Coming from most people, that would seem a little bit self-aggrandizing. But Zach hadn’t just opined; Zach moved to New Hampshire in January to help run Dean Phillips’ insurgent campaign against Joe Biden. He put a ton into trying to get the Dems to do the right thing and hold a competitive primary.
I was there too. Dean’s campaign was real. He put $5.8 million of his own in, raised another $1.8 million and got 19% of the vote in New Hampshire. For those of you who supported our efforts for Dean, thank you – I hope you also feel good about that support now. Dean was running on the conviction that the Democratic Party was careening toward disaster in November with Joe Biden as the nominee. The Dems fell all over themselves maligning Dean and protecting Biden, who would wind up dropping out less than 6 months later.
Dean was proven right. “We got 19% in New Hampshire and it could easily have been higher, but the press didn’t want to give Dean any credit,” Zach says. “The Dems were much more concerned with keeping their place in line than listening to what we were saying.”
Zach and I had tried. Then, months later after his disastrous June debate performance, Joe Biden pivoted to elevating Kamala Harris instead of allowing a hurried primary. As we all now know, Kamala got swept in the swing states and lost the popular vote, failing to build on Biden’s vote total in any county in the United States. The blame game is on.
“From a comms perspective, it was malpractice. What was the Dem message?” Zach comments. “And the messenger couldn’t answer layup questions like ‘What would you do differently than Joe Biden?’” We also discuss Kamala’s failure to go on Joe Rogan, which I described as madness given the size and nature of the audience.
Zach has now run two presidential campaigns and written a book on one of them – that’s changed his perspective. He’s left it out on the field. Even for me, it’s a lot easier for me to say, “She should have gone on Joe Rogan” because I’ve actually done it myself and believe Joe would have been open-minded and fair. Zach joked that he thought he’d feel better after unpacking the campaign, but it actually fired him up more to talk about it.

How much were Jimmy Kimmel and Robert Di Nero paid for crying? It was easy to get a read on Oprah during the interview with Harris, with the cringe answers, left Oprah wondering if she was paid enough for exposing her reputation on National Media with her endorsement. Beyonce was paid $10 Million for endorsement and crying on stage. Harris spending $1.18 Billion on her campaign was a crazy. Elite Democrats are an exposed joke in America, and cooked for future elections. Trump needs to tax the sh*t out of these billionaire fools. Beyonce was paid 10 MILLION DOLLARS for her appearance? Absolutely friggin incredible. I shouldn't be surprised, sadly enough. |

Don't be a lemming and just buy into a comment that's pretty far fetched without proof. Here is one. There are a few whistle blowers that came out from the Harris Campaign due to the outstanding debt. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwQfAZw-ZowHere is another. There is a question mark at the end. We all know how the "Fact Checking" works in the media by now so they can't be trusted. www.newsweek.com/kamala-harris-campaign-financial-mismanagement-1983889 |

A YouTube video is not proof. I don't think you'll ever get a receipt, so you can easily guess which group of people are going to believe it, and which group is not. I, personally, question it. |

I'd want someone in a position of authority in spending that money, not just a staffer who heard rumors or hearsay. |

A YouTube video is not proof. Are you excluding everything you see and hear on ABC, NBC, Fox, MSNBC, CNN? I guess with AI, now everything we thought Trump has said and done is now in question. Hell, Dana Bash was implying that Trump was going to use the Military to round up immigrants for deportation and create prison camps. These "news people" do have demented criminal minds. |

Their business is to be credible, unlike Fox News who lost almost a Billion Dollars because they put out misinformation. And any yahoo can put a video on YouTube. Anyone. 99% of the informational videos on YouTube are done by amateurs with no training and no journalistic background. And no legit sources other than each other. |

Yeah, a scary POS called project 2025. No thanks! The left-wing infatuation with Project 2025 is crazy. Trump has said he hasn't read P 2025.....LOL Trump is clearly a Progressive Republican with his actions to build back the Middle Class in America. What is crazy is the POS opening the Boarder to criminals and sex traffickers. |

That person in position of authority wouldn't have that position if they weren't trustworthy. |

Are you a rich white dude with an ocean view? "Their business is to be credible" Wrong, its their business to sell advertising slots. This election cycle has exposed Legacy Main Stream Media as the joke they are. |

This election cycle has exposed Legacy Main Stream Media as the joke they are. They can't continue to sell advertising if they didn't present facts accurately. And the news organizations you mentioned are considered highly credible by an independent bias/fact checking organization. (I even started a thread here about it.) |
