NOT my commentary....but important enough for limit government
citizens to understand...
One of the problems that we have had to endure as voters and as
citizens is that the Republican Party, our party, has not believed that.
Party leadership has not
believed the Democrats can be beat, and
Donald Trump has shown how to do
it. It took a political outsider,
somebody with no fingerprints on
anything to do with the way
Washington works, ie. "fails",
to demonstrate how you beat an
opposing political party.
How many times I've shared this story with you, Republican
presidential candidate after candidate come to this studio
and
talk to me about their campaign, their ideas, how they want
to go
about winning, and each one of them say...
"We can't
win with Republican votes alone. We have got to be
able to cross the aisle, and we have got to be able to engage in
group politics."
"No, no," I said, "You guys are going about this the wrong way.
All
you need to do is approach the American people as citizens,
as the
American people. To hell with what group they're in. We're
human
beings. We all want the best for ourselves and for our
country." Now, the opponents don't l ook at life that way. They
do look at
people as victims and members of groups. But we can
beat them.
I've
always known we could beat them. Beating the left has always
been what this is about. In addition to
whatever I must do in the
realm of broadcasting in order to succeed, the
substance and the
content portion of this program has always been,
whether it's been
humor, whether it's been satire, whether it has been
serious
commentary, it has always been about beating the left.
I have
never understood, and I do not understand people on our side
who do not
believe that, who do not hope that, who do not also share
that sentiment
-- and, furthermore, who don't think it's possible. We
have been
validated.
The things that we feel and think about our country, the
direction it was
going, we have been validated by virtue of what the
American people
did yesterday. Now, I have made notes throughout the
night as I was
watching the various cable networks and their coverage.
And I've thought about, how do I want to approach this day with you
today, because really there's so much to say, and there's so much to
share, and so many observations that I want to make. I thought,
Okay,
well, maybe I can just do my stream of consciousness and
share with you
note by note as I make them," or maybe try to come
up with some more
organized presentation of things, or just react as
things happen as the
program is taking place today.
And I figured that regardless of the approach that I take, I'm gonna
get it all said. Regardless in what format I design it and present it,
it's
all gonna be said. It may take three days or three hours here
today
and a couple hours tomorrow to get it all said, because there's a
lot.
There's a lot to react to. There are so many teachable moments that
have occurred in this entire campaign, and there is so much uplifting
and positive about what happened.
There is so, so much that is beautiful and American and Americana
that is still worth believing in and still worth promoting and still
worth
fighting for, and all of this was demonstrated last night.
The angst, the shock, the disappointment over the entire Democrat
Party, the entire left wing, and even some on our side. One of the
things I kept hearing last night... The
media will always be predictable.
The Democrats will always be
predictable. When it was finally clear
last night that Hillary was
gonna lose,
They began to demonstrate who they really are, started
talking about
how it's gonna be necessary for Trump to approach them.
"Trump's gonna have to be
inclusive, gonna have to do this!"
Trump doesn't have to do
anything! He probably will. Trump is the
winner. If Trump wanted to, he could play this the way Obama did
and say, "I won!
Whatever you want to do, well, you've just
gotta stop listening to Rush Limbaugh guy. That's not how
things get done in Washington." That's what Obama said two
weeks into his administration to a bunch of
Republican leaders.
And then everybody started saying, "Now, this is not an ideological
election." You can always count on that. When the left loses, it's not
because of their ideology, and they came through last night.
Wrong, folks. It is always
ideological. Big Government was told to
take a hike last night just
like Big Government was told to take a hike
in the Brexit vote in England!
Last night, yesterday, was a total repudiation of Big Government. It
was a total repudiation of the Obama presidency and every aspect of
it. It was a total repudiation of the Democrat Party by the people I
always describe as those who make this country work. The people
who
define the character and who define the values of our country
were the
winners in what happened yesterday. And what has been
going on the last
eight years was repudiated and was pushed back
against and defeated.
It's important to point out. I was listening to Paul Ryan today, a new
Paul Ryan. I've
never seen Paul Ryan this enthusiastic! I've never
seen Paul Ryan this
optimistic. He was genuinely optimistic. He was
enthused, and he
seemed surprised at the same time.
Donald Trump heard a voice out in
this country that no one else heard.
A lot of people heard it. A lot of people are that voice! People didn't
have to hear it; we have been
shouting it! People missed the voice
didn't think it was there. It's not they didn't hear it; they didn't
think it was
there.
If there is a lesson for the GOP, this victory has been there
all along, in
2008 and 2012. But it's obvious and apparent now that many in the
Republican Party never thought this was possible and they really didn't
think it was possible with Donald Trump. They really were prepared
to
be embarrassed and humiliated losing the House, losing the Senate,
and
yet look what happens, they control both Congress and presidency.
Now the Republican Party have no excuses. There
aren't any excuses
anymore. The Republican Party has been given the
full reins of this
government in this country, and there is a mandate
behind it. There's
nothing mysterious about this. There's nothing to
unpack. There's
nothing to understand. There's nothing confusing
about it. It is dead
straight simple what the American people voted
yesterday and last
night, and it is a full repudiation of Obamacare.
It's a full repudiation of Obama
economics. It's a full repudiation of
our culture and the way the Democrats go about dealing with people.
In Hillary's concession speech she rattled off all these groups: LGBT,
women, one-armed amputees SOHO in New York City. Groups.
Victims.
Democrats see the
country is not the way this country is.
This is not a nation of
victims! It is not a nation of people who are
discriminated against and
denied opportunity. But that's what they
see when they look out and see
America.
Trump's victory proved how absurd this is!
