And we're only at January 18th. And so the people. Somebody asked me yesterday said, can it get any worse? I said, oh, yeah, it can get worse. And it might. I said, but we as conservatives, and especially those of us that are believers, we must find this as an opportunity, a joyful opportunity to build new, to be able to create, and of course, push back against all this nonsense that Biden is gonna put forward. And some people are saying, well, Charlie, we're never gonna be able to win another election again. I don't believe that. I don't. You look at what happened in Florida, you look at Ohio, you look at Iowa, you look at how well we did in the House of Representatives, even in corrupt California, Mike Garcia, Yong Kim and Michelle Steele all won their races. We have a younger, more principled party than ever before. And so there are some amazing success stories out of this election where it feels as if everything's bad just because we lost the top tier ticket. And I think one of the major takeaways here is going to be what are we as conservatives going to do in the next nine months when people come back? And so I have hope for a couple reasons. One of the reasons I have hope is that the Democrats are gonna miraculously screw all of this up, not just a little bit, but they are going to mess up not just the budgets, not just the way a government is run, but in the first couple hundred days, moderate to just swing voters, independents are gonna come back and they say, we want Republicans back in charge, we want conservatives back in charge. And the question will be, are we gonna have the infrastructure, the candidates, the planning, the messaging, even some of the new business ventures that we have to do. We now have to go find new servers, phones, app stores. We got a lot of work to do, guys, in a couple years, okay? It's not just we have to win political arguments. We now have to build out kind of a Political, entire economic ecosystem. And on top of that, we have to realize and recognize that the left strategy right now is to try to break our will. They want you to give up, they want you to no longer be involved. They want you to no longer be engaged. They want you to kind of raise the white flag and say, I'm done, I'm cynical, I'm apathetic, who cares? I'm not gonna get engaged or get involved anymore. That would be a tragic mistake. And here's one of the really amazing points of the United States Constitution and our founding fathers and our framers did so much thinking about this, is that it's very hard to revolutionize and take over a country in less than six years. You almost can't do it. You have to win public opinion and elections on the state, local and federal level for six years consecutively before you are able to fundamentally transform the country. So you think about it, the margins of the House of Representatives are really narrow right now. Senate is 50, 50, it should be 5,248. We should have won the Georgia runoffs, but it's 5050 and you have a blue dog Democrat Joe Manchin in there. But those people are going to be up in election fights with declared candidates by the summer. By the summer. And so they got like a six month honeymoon maybe and then they're going to be back in campaign season. Mark Kelly, Raphael Warnock and they're going to have to answer why they are getting rid of the Electoral College or adding states. So the question is, what do we do from now until June? The best answer is this. We have to engage our state legislatures and fix the way we do elections in this country. That's the number one issue. We talk to thousands and thousands of people every day via email. We have great feedback. The number one issue in the conservative base right now is the way we do elections. It has to get fixed. No more complaining, no more, no more. I hope it gets fixed the next election. We need hearings, we need examinations, we need investigations and we need real reform. We need to do elections the way that Florida does, especially in Arizona and Georgia. And if we don't fix that, then we got real problems. Cuz right now you have a Republican House, Senate and governor in Arizona. Same in Georgia. Despite all the complaints that we've leveled against him. If you fix that, and we field strong, principled, grassroots, patriotic candidates coming up here in the next six to nine months, Democrats are going to be on defense because they're no longer going to be able to deflect they're no longer going to be able to punt. They're going to have to own every single policy from this point forward. I want to get to some tape here. Let's go to cut seven of Democrat Representative Cohen on CNN saying the National Guard, attacking the National Guard because of how male it is and how few of them voted for Joe Biden. Let's go to cut seven. The guard is 90 some odd percent, I believe, male. Only about 20% of white males voted for Biden. You got to figure that in the Guard, which is predominantly more conservative. And I see that on my social media and we know it. They're probably not more than 25% of the people that are there protecting us who voted for Biden. The other 75% are in the class. That would be the large class of folks who might want to do something. And so suggesting that there is an insider threat because of the, let's say, voting composition of the National Guard. This is a new level of political examination and potential political persecution just because of political viewpoints that you might hold. We've warned about a great reset for quite some time. Senator Amy Klobuchar is no longer dancing around that. She said we have to reset in our democracy. And that is what January 20th is all about coming up in two days from now. Let's go to cut eight. So that's how I look at it. He's the perfect man for the right job right now. And not only that, we need to have a reset in our democracy. And that's what January 20th is all about, a reset in our democracy. That sounds similar to what Barack Obama said back in 2007 or eight, right before they got elected. He said, we are just a couple days from fundamentally transforming our country. So we're getting a lot of emails, isabelle freedomarliekirk.com where people are saying, charlie, why are you covering all of this stuff? Don't you understand that Trump's gonna serve four more years? And I'm going to reserve some of my more, let's say I'm going to do a comprehensive show on this on Thursday or Friday, which is kind of talking about the fake news problem on the right. I want to just wait a couple days for all of these theories to be proven totally incorrect. However, I talked about this at length yesterday, and I think it's really, really important, which is if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. And if there is a story that is so outlandish that all of a sudden you have been led to Believe that despite the congressional certification and the constitutional certification that Donald Trump is 100% serving four more years, then you're being misled. But I will tell you that the fake news issue where some people are. I'll give you a great example. You know, we got hundreds of emails over, you know, over the last couple weeks of how Mike Pence is, you know, facing charges for treason. And this is not a small group of people that were emailing us. I thought to myself, where did this, where did this come from? And the issue with this sort of, you know, news distribution and consumption is if we do not have shared lines of communication or facts when it comes to any forms of these topics, then we're not gonna be able to have dialogue about anything meaningful. Then no one's gonna trust anything that they write that is written or that they consume. That's basically where we are right now in the country where a lot of people say, I don't trust anything on tv, I don't trust anything anywhere. And that's, that's probably an accurate place. I mean, that's where I am with a lot, with most news institutions. Almost everything that I read, I'm like, ah, there's an agenda behind this. However, just because you don't trust CNN doesn't make the message board true. They both can be untrue. And so we're gonna go through in another podcast and another livestream the process of just how to spot some of this stuff, but it's been growing at an alarming rate. Would you agree, Isabel?
