State regime media, which calls itself Fox News, was in an utter panic all last night. They could not handle not just the blue wave, but the blue tsunami that crushed MAGA on Election Day, this massive repudiation of Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans. I want you to watch this utter cope by all of these Fox hosts. This is probably the favorite video I've ever done on Fox, at least in recent memory. So you had one of the Fox contributors, Ari Fleischer, and he was like, look, if I take all this data tonight, I think I'd rather be big picture, a Republican than a Democrat. Oh, really? Is that how you're gonna cope?
Here, play this clip. Socialism is a growing problem for the Democratic Party. And more the Democrats embrace socialism with all the horrors that it entails, the crime that will take place in New York City, the abandonment of New York City by the successful and the taxpayer.
What caused Fox News to panic during the election results?
This is what's going to hurt the Democratic reputation and base going forward. It's hollowing out the Democratic Party. I would so much rather, even with tonight's bad results, be the Republicans in the big picture than the Democrats. There's also, I just want to add, a race in Maine we should pay attention to tonight. It's a ballot initiative to see if voters in Maine want to mandate driver's licenses in order to vote.
How did the blue wave impact the Republican party?
That looks like it's going to pass. So outside of the bigger races here, Pay attention to Minneapolis. Pay attention to that ballot initiative in Maine. But it's a tough night for Republicans. But it sets up 26. Republicans are running against socialism.
Then you have Kellyanne Conway, Miss Alternative Facts, I should call it Alternative Universe. And she said, look, the voters, they told all the pollsters they wanted this, that, but they lied to the pollsters. And that's why we saw the results. Really? That's what you think? Or maybe it's because Trump and MAGA are just vile and people hate them and hate you. Here, play this clip.
What coping mechanisms did Fox hosts use after the election?
No doubt. This is what happened when Democrats turn out to vote in largely Democratic blue states. And that's what happened. The one curious thing though, Sean and Ari, is that the voters told pollsters they want lower taxes, fewer regulations, less crime. less chaos with respect to migration. They want to make sure that the police are respected and that their values are reflected. And then they went and voted against all of that today in the form of these governors. Look, Jack Ciattarelli, we were all very hopeful, but guess what? The Fox News voter analysis suggests that he failed to win young men and to replicate what President Trump did one short year ago with Hispanics, with union households, with independents.
So to the extent that tonight is a referendum on President Trump at all, guess what? It means that he's one of one. You can get his endorsement. And this is a this is a clarion call for 2026 folks. You can have President Trump's endorsement. It doesn't mean you're going to win. You have to do what he did. You have to go and dip into these unfamiliar to Republican constituencies. You've got to be very specific and granular and show up every single moment.
Then you had Jesse Waters, one of Fox's chief propagandists. And he's like, so the Democrats are going to try to spin this as like a referendum on Trump. But it certainly isn't that at all. Here, play this clip. The Democrats are going to spin this. This is a referendum on Trump. I mean, these are all blue states, is it? Really, Jesse? Because one of your other hosts, she was talking about New Jersey and some of the other states, seemed to indicate that the voters actually really wanted to repudiate Donald Trump. She says the reason for their vote, they hate Donald Trump. 71% of them who voted just hate him, hate the guy. Here, play this clip.
And as far as the Trump impact on the Sheryl voters, the reason for their vote, the Sheryl voters vote, those who said that they wanted to oppose the sitting president, 71% of them.
