Will never win again
its time for republican state
legislatures to step up
thats the constitutional role
here to explain Florida
Senator Marco Rubio,
I watched your stay and your
state had a mess in two thousand and
kind of had a mess in twenty. Sixteen,
you got a new governor
governor, fixed to the system, and
we watched Florida flawlessly
with a lot of mail in ballots
double triple the population of
a lot of states. We are talking
about two time zones.
Basically, we couldve called
the race with complete
confidence at 900, p, DOT M on
election night.
Here we are weak, later still,
counting ballots and a lot of
the states.
Your thoughts
flood has gotten good at two
things.
One is dealing with hurricanes
and the other is counting votes.
The problems we have had in
recent years have been due to
incompetent officials, and you
saw how that works.
Those were counties that went
for Joe Biden by the way peer,
but the fundamental point you
made is the right one.
At the core of our republic.
Legitimacy comes from peoples,
confidence in the election and
right now, youve got half this
country that has doubts about
the veracity of this election,
and one is the process in the
law.
Theres a process in the law
that exists after the election
before the results are certified
certified.
That process has to be allowed
to move forward.
Otherwise we are going to have
a result here that half the
country will harvest significant
doubts about and thats bad for
the country
thats. Why both sides should be
welcoming having this process be
open, transparent and according
to the rights afforded to both
candidates by the law,
you look at the
margin and the President got
nearly ten million more votes
than he had gotten in twenty. Sixteen,
you look at the dramatic
increase in hispanic Americans
voting for the President
African Americans voting for the
president.
We see the House of
Representatives,
I think we are around fifteen new
female house members,
and it seems like the Republican
Party in ways that people never
predicted are changing,
and I give Donald Trump the
credit,
and that is if he wanted to
build the wall, that that would
hurt with hispanic Americans.
It hasnt,
the president was able to
increase that vote dramatically,
and I think a lot of it has to
do with the fact that by
controlling borders, having a
legal system that that allows
Americans less competition for
jobs and means that wages rise,
which set record low
unemployment for every
demographic group in the
country.
Is this like the coastal elite
Democratic Party versus a new
republican Party of Working men
and women?
I think the future of the
Republican Party is a
multiethnic multiracial
working Class Party and what I
mean by working Class Party is
normal, everyday people who
dont want to live in a city
where there is no police
department, where people
rampaged through the streets
every time they are upset about
something where their kids are
afraid that theyre going to
fail a college course unless
they agree with their crazy
professor, where they are afraid
to speak out on what they
believe on some issue, because
they might get fired from their
job or they are going to be
called a racist because they
wear a maga had or have a
sticker on their car.
One thing we also forget, as
these are people who work hard
and they dont want their small
business to shut down.
They take the pandemic seriously,
but they have to make a living
and they are tired of seeing
their job sent to another
country and everyone telling
them in both parties thats
just the way it works,
its not working for them and
they dont like crazy people
and a lot of the elements that
control the Democratic Party.
Today are crazy,
im not saying every Democrat is
crazy, but I am telling you that
people who are crazy and have
crazy ideas have an
extraordinary amount of power in
that party,
Joe Biden,
I can tell you this
thats a good point. I dont
know if Joe Biden I wouldnt
say Joe Biden is crazy,
but I can tell you in his
administration if there is one
theres going to be people in
that cabinet that are out of
their minds,
they defined the police people,
the green new deal, people the
people who want to do all kinds
of things that undermine the
vitality of this countrys
economy, the people who dont
believe there should be any
immigration law.
He talked about immigration
that is important in hispanic
communities, but it is offensive
to presume that, just because you
are an immigrant and you live in
an immigrant community that you
think we shouldnt have
immigration laws.
That is the arrogance that comes.
