So today we'll look at the one key factor that decided the election, and it's not the economy.

The American Revolution was born from 150 years of colonial experience, tensions and transformation. Want to understand what really led to independence? Hillsdale College offers a free mini series on colonial America that tells the full story. Hillsdale College has created a fascinating six part documentary series where their professors explore their religious, political, cultural and economic ideas that shaped America's unique character during the colonial period. You'll discover why the idea of liberty, especially religious liberty, drove settlers to risk everything crossing the Atlantic how early Americans built local governments to rule and protect themselves, and why America became a place where virtue could lead to peace and prosperity. While most of us know the Declaration of Independence as the birth of our nation, this course digs deeper into something even more fundamental the forging of the American character that made the revolution possible in the first place and why reclaiming that character matters more than ever today.

Now that we have a more complete picture of what happened on Election Day, it's tempting to come to the conclusion that the America first movement is in a lot of trouble. Certainly a lot of commentators are attempting to make that point from both the left and the right, and for the most part, they're off the mark. Now, for example, I saw some posts talking about how in the Atlanta metro area on Tuesday, Democrats managed to flip counties that went for Donald Trump last year by 25 points, 26 points and 28 points. And those figures sound really striking. After all, how could any county go from overwhelmingly supporting Donald Trump to voting Democrat in just one year? How could these numbers possibly be accurate unless MAGA is on its last legs? Well, the problem with this analysis is that on Tuesday, turnout in Georgia was only about 20%. Hardly anyone voted because it's an off year election and the race didn't have any national implications at all. So the people who did vote weren't saying anything about the Trump administration or the state of the country or anything like that. The election in Georgia determined the makeup of Georgia's Public Service Commission, which regulates utility prices. And people living in Georgia don't like the size of the electricity bills at the moment, which have increased by about $50 a month since 2022. Electricity has gotten more expensive because more corporate data centers have moved into town and it's been unusually warm, requiring more power for air conditioning. And people are frustrated by the cost. And I mean, that's really all there is to it. Along the same lines, you'll hear people panicking about the fact that Democrats flipped two seats in Mississippi's state Senate, ending the Republican supermajority in that chamber, which the GOP has maintained for more than a decade. Supposedly, this is a major rejection of the Republican Party in a deep red stronghold. But again, the context is important. Democrats only won the elections because of court ordered redistricting pursuant to the Voting Rights Act, a flagrantly unconstitutional and anti white piece of civil rights era legislation that, as we've discussed, is about to be struck down by the Supreme Court. So they redrew the maps in Mississippi on the basis of race in order to steal more votes. And what do you know? Well, they stole a lot of votes. That's, that's the story. And once the Supreme Court gets rid of the Voting Rights act, which it looks like they will, this particular kind of story won't happen again. Similarly, it's true that Republicans lost several races in the state of Pennsylvania. Bucks county, the site of Trump's infamous McDonald's campaign stop, elected a Democrat district attorney for the first time since the 1800s. Buck county also elected a Democrat sheriff, replacing a Republican. And additionally, the Democrats flipped a number of other highly prestigious positions, including the mayor of Beaver Borough and Erie county executive. But again, you need to look at the context. Trump carried Bucks county by 1/10 of 1%. In the 2024 election. He carried Erie county by just 1%. So these were always extremely tight, competitive counties for Republicans. And without Trump at the top of the ticket, it makes sense that some of them would slip away. And frankly, if we're being honest, some of these races probably involve some degree of fraud, or at least the number of voters was so small that the result. You know, it's hard to glean anything from the result. Consider the fact that a Democrat won the race for Clearfield County Court of Common Pleas in Pennsylvania by 178 votes, or 0.8%, beating Republican who serves as incumbent DA in the 2024 election. The same county went for Trump by 52 points. This is a result that really doesn't even make any sense, even accounting for the fact that turnout was cut in half. I mean, does anyone really think that voters have swung against Trump by a margin of 51%? The change is so large and the voting pool is so small that can't really learn much from it, except for the fact that, you know, someone should probably audit the ballots. So what's needed at the moment is not the usual meltdown about how Republicans are doomed to lose everything in the midterms next year and how we're destined for total Democrat Party control of government in 2028. That kind of thinking is never helpful. And in this case, it doesn't really reflect what happened on Tuesday. Even though what happened was bad, it's like a bad situation for Republicans, as we talked about yesterday, there's no doubt about that either. So we can't cope in the other direction by pretending that all of this is perfectly fine. What we need to. Where we. You know what? We need to focus at some length instead on the handful of elections from earlier this week that actually do have implications for the party and national politics. The things that we can learn from, and by far the most consequential result, of course, was Zoran Mamdani's election as mayor of New York. And the more you look into exactly how Zohar Mohamdani won this race, the more you realize exactly what Republicans need to start doing if we want to prevent socialists from replicating their success in every other major city in this country. So we'll put probably the single most important statistics on the screen right now. And this is kind of all you need to know is an exit poll asking voters how long they've lived in New York City, along with who they voted for. So, as you can see there, Mamdani won 83% of voters who have lived in New York City for less than five years. So I'll say that again. Mamdani won 83% of voters who have lived in the city for less than five years. Cuomo received just 15% of those voters. And as you can see from the rest of the numbers in this poll, the longer that people have lived in this city, the less likely they were to vote for Mamdani. It's a sliding scale. Among New Yorkers who were actually born in the city, Cuomo was ahead of Momdani by double digits. Okay, that's this. All of the analysis that people are doing and looking at all the numbers and this and that and looking at the economy, it's really got nothing to do with it. This is everything. Okay? In other words, the people who have invested the least into New York City, the people who don't really own any property, don't have family connections, don't have any ancestral ties to the city at all, haven't paid taxes for social services or city infrastructure, who just arrived on a direct flight from the Third World, they are the ones dictating the future of New York to actual New Yorkers. Again, 40% of New Yorkers weren't even born in the United States. The word for this situation is not migration or mass migration. The word is invasion. It is a hostile takeover by people who have absolutely nothing to lose because they're not gambling with their families or their futures, and they're deciding the direction of a country that they don't care about. They can pick up and leave once they ransack New York. And that's exactly what they intend to do. They'll move to another city, in another state, and they will repeat the process. Now, in response to Mamdani's victory, I've seen some on the right make the argument that, in reality, the primary reason Mamdani is so popular in New York is that millions of people, particularly young people, can't afford to live in the city. Young adults are getting college degrees that cost them hundreds of thousands of dollars and train them to be communists. And then when they realize they can't get a good job with their useless degrees. They decide that capitalism is the problem. Therefore, we're told we need to meet these socialists in the middle. You know, we should feel their pain and hold them blameless for their frustration. That's the path that a lot of commentators are charting for the future of the Republican Party. This is totally wrong. One of the problems with this line of reasoning is that these disaffected young adults in New York are voting for the exact problems that they're complaining about. The people who have lived in New York for their whole lives understand very well that rent has doubled in the past few years precisely because New York has imported so many foreigners, so many Third Worlders, people who think and talk just like Zoran Mamdani. As a result of open borders, millions of newcomers, as Democrats call them, are now competing with New Yorkers for jobs and housing and emergency services and everything else. And instead of deporting these foreigners, New York's government has simply expanded its welfare state to include every single one of them. They all get free pre K now and free buses and free health care and free housing and free bail when they commit felonies, which a lot of them do now over in the Third World, that sounds like a pretty good deal. But actual New Yorkers, actual Americans, know through experience, if nothing else, what happens next. Prices go up for everyone. The affordability crisis gets even worse, and you can't solve the problem with higher taxes because none of the invaders are paying taxes and all the wealthy, you know, the taxpaying New Yorkers are leaving. But the other problem with believing that the socialists are on to something and that we should blame capitalism and the financial institutions is that voters in New York, they don't actually care about the economy. Okay? These again, these voters, the less time they've spent in New York. So we're supposed to believe this is all about the economy, even though it's the people who've been here for five seconds? The people that have been in this economy for 5 seconds are the people who put Mamdani over the top. And so it's about the economy, really. He won 83% of the vote for people who just got here. And we're supposed to believe that what tipped it was the economic situation? Are you insane? No. Lee Kuan Yew, the first prime Minister of Singapore and one of the country's modern founding fathers, put it this way. In multiracial societies, you don't vote in accordance with your economic interests and social interests. You vote in Accordance with race and religion. Well, that's it. That was obviously the case on Tuesday in New York. Take a look at these exit polls. Every single demographic group that's preferred by the Democrat Party, which is to say every demographic group other than white men, went for Zoran Mamdani. Black men, black women, Latino men, Latino women, white women, every other minority group, they all supported Mamdani over Cuomo. But the one demographic group that Democrats demonize every available opportunity, White men. They went for Cuomo. So it's almost as if, as Singapore's founding father put it, everyone in this particular multiracial society, you know, is. Is voting exactly as he said. They know that they aren't going to vote based on policies or debates or campaign advertisements. Now, there's no time for that. Instead, they recognize that their racial and religious interests matter more than anything else. So that's how they make their decision. Like that. They're coming from places where. That's how it works. That's how it works in much of Africa and the Middle East. They're coming from these heavily tribalistic places and where you're not. You're not like the economies. They don't even have economies in most of Africa. What they have, though, are tribal factions, and you side with your tribal faction no matter what. And so that's how it works in New York, which. Which has now imported much of Africa and the Middle East. Race and tribal factionalism trumps everything else. And to be clear, when I say that voters choose candidates based on racial factors, I'm also talking about voters who will pick candidates based on pure racial resentment, meaning their votes are best understood as a vote against a particular racial group. That's the best way to understand these figures. From Tuesday, as you can see, 84% of women aged 18 to 29. Yes, 84% of women aged 18-29 voted for Zoran Mamdani. No other demographic group on the chart has anything close to that margin. So if you meet a young woman in New York, then regardless of her national origin, her race, or her income, she almost certainly voted for the foreign communist who despises white people. And also, when she gets harassed or assaulted on the train or bugged on the street, it will be, in a very real sense, exactly what she voted for. Now, how could that be? How could a white woman vote for that? How could she vote for someone who hates white people? She is white. Well, it doesn't seem to make sense, but then you see videos like this one from Mamdani's victory Partner feature party featuring a former Bravo actress named Jennifer Welch, who unfortunately we've talked about a little bit on the show recently. This is a woman who has done so much work to her face that now she resembles something like a transgender Willem Dafoe. And in this clip, Welsh solves the riddle that we're discussing. Not the riddle about why she has injected botulism into her face and made herself look so deformed, but rather the riddle about why she would vote for someone who despises her. Well, she makes it crystal clear how it's possible for that to happen for how it's possible for a white woman to vote for a foreign communist whose entire platform is premised on disenfranchising and punishing whites.
