Critique of Kamala Harris' Concession Speech
1. Timing of the Concession
Knowles begins by addressing the delay in Kamala Harris' concession speech. He expresses his disapproval of her waiting 12 hours post-election to concede.
- Quote: "It was a scandal that she gave this speech 12 hours late." [00:15]
Knowles argues that the prolonged wait was disrespectful to both the American people and her supporters, emphasizing the landslide nature of the defeat.
- Quote: "She lost in a landslide. An electoral vote. Landslide. She lost the popular vote." [00:25]
2. Assessment of the Speech's Quality
While acknowledging that Harris' speech was the most coherent he's heard from her, Knowles maintains a critical stance.
- Quote: "Yes, it was the most coherent we've ever heard her. Yes, she was gracious, I suppose, relatively gracious." [00:35]
Despite recognizing improvements, he feels that her graciousness is misplaced given the context of the campaign.
3. Questioning Harris' Qualification as the Nominee
Knowles challenges the legitimacy of Harris' position as the Democratic nominee, suggesting it was a result of political maneuvering rather than genuine voter support.
- Quote: "She had no business being the Democrat nominee in the first place." [01:10]
He further alleges that her candidacy was orchestrated without winning primary votes, labeling her as a "palace coup."
- Quote: "The graciousness of the speech was in itself a scandal because the entire basis of the Kamala campaign... was that Trump posed an existential threat to the republic." [02:20]
4. Allegations of Deception in the Campaign
Knowles accuses the Biden and Harris campaigns of deceit, particularly regarding their portrayal of former President Trump.
- Quote: "They were lying when they said that Trump was Hitler, that he posed an existential threat to the republic." [03:00]
He links these alleged lies to extreme measures taken against Trump, including assassination attempts.
- Quote: "Those lies justified his assassination, which nearly occurred, came very near to occurring when he got shot in the ear and then almost occurred a second time, too." [03:30]
5. Predicting Minimal Impact of a Different Candidate
Speculating on alternative scenarios, Knowles suggests that had there been a more coherent and gracious candidate, the election results might not have significantly changed.
- Quote: "If that candidate... was a little more coherent and a little more gracious and normal, fewer cackles, I don't think it would have made much of a difference either." [04:15]
6. Affirming Trump's Mandate
Concluding his analysis, Knowles asserts that Trump's victory was a clear mandate from the American people, dismissing Harris' concession as unnecessary and indicative of manipulated circumstances.
- Quote: "Nobody really wanted this woman to be president. And the majority of Americans... made clear they wanted Trump to be the 47th president." [05:00]
He expresses confidence in Trump's ability to lead, stating, "Joy cometh in the morning." [05:10]

He posits that the Democratic campaign's narrative against Trump was fundamentally flawed and suggests that the election results reflect a genuine preference for Trump's leadership.
