Chapter 1: How are Republicans reacting to recent election outcomes?

0.429 - 18.699 Ben Shapiro

Folks, there is a ton going on in the news. A brand new initiation of a brand new trade war. Everything going on with Doge. Just tons going on. First, America is on the comeback.

44.361 - 54.206 Ben Shapiro

One of the things that I'm always warning folks against in politics is the belief that anything that happens is eternal, that the change is eternal, that there will never be another loss in the future.

54.446 - 71.195 Ben Shapiro

I'm old enough to remember in 2004, after George W. Bush won reelection and secured the Congress of the United States, that there were Republicans who thought that Republicans would never lose again. This was the initiation of a brand new era. And then, of course, by 2006, Democrats had taken the Congress, and by 2008, they had taken the presidency.

71.675 - 90.626 Ben Shapiro

I'm also old enough to remember when the Democrats proclaimed in the aftermath of Barack Obama's 2012 victory that they would never lose again. They had a brand new coalition, an undefeatable coalition that would just continue to grow, and Republicans would be in the minority for literally ever. And within four years, Republicans had taken the presidency with Donald Trump.

91.246 - 104.236 Ben Shapiro

And so now, when I hear Republicans who seem triumphalist about the idea that Democrats can never win again, that Democrats will never take power again, that all the trends are against them. It's true, the trends are against Democrats right now, and that's a wonderful thing. That's a good thing.

104.617 - 125.132 Ben Shapiro

Population movement from north to south, from blue states to red states, electoral votes that will follow, Democratic failures to find any sort of leadership class in the aftermath of the Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders octogenarian triumvirate. However, Politics changes quickly. Things happen. And there are warning signs on the horizon.

125.432 - 141.846 Ben Shapiro

The biggest one is that President Trump's popularity is not, in fact, transferable to every single other Republican candidate. You cannot just take President Trump, stamp him on a thing, and then hope that thing is going to be a winner. That is not how it works. Barack Obama tried the same thing. It doesn't work that way either. Every politician has to build their own coalition.

142.187 - 161.511 Ben Shapiro

Every politician has to have their own group of people who follow them for their own personal reasons. And so this bizarre idea that everyone in politics seems to have on right and left, that you can take a very popular politician and then you can kind of smear that over the bread of the normie politicians or any other politicians and it will taste exactly the same. That is not the truth.

Chapter 2: Can Trump's popularity transfer to other Republican candidates?

2883.627 - 2904.376 Michael Knowles

You know how right now on social media, everyone is turning every image ever produced into a Ghibli-style Japanese anime picture? Basically, this movie was like you took the original Snow White and just put everything through this filter. of liberalism. It wasn't through a filter of Japanese anime. It was through a filter of liberalism.

2904.716 - 2927.854 Michael Knowles

So from the casting to the class politics, the sexual politics, the regime politics, everything about it was liberal. The most obvious difference being, and I don't know if we're allowed, can we point out that Snow White is generally understood to be a very, very white person. And in this case, they decided, nope, no, that doesn't make any sense.

2927.875 - 2947.766 Michael Knowles

So they, you know, I don't think that's, we're allowed to say that, right? I was referring to the movie as sand beige and it was so noticeable off the top, but it's no really knock on her. If you did the autobiography of Malcolm X, would you cast Tom Hanks? If you remade Moana, would you cast a little Irish guy? No, you wouldn't. So that was off the top.

2948.046 - 2953.971 Michael Knowles

And then from there, the sexual politics, the regime politics, the class politics, it all was just bad.
