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.
Chapter 2: 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.
Chapter 3: 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.
Chapter 4: 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. So this is really what led to the outcome tonight.
Oh, but Jesse, I thought you said he was an alpha and he was so popular. Yeah, I guess that's not the case. Also, what Fox was trying to grapple with as well, after coming up with all their contrived and fake attacks on Mikey Sherrill, who's like a distinguished helicopter pilot and federal prosecutor. We've had her on the Midas Dutch Network a ton. They were trying to attack her.
I don't know what the attack was there, but they were like, yeah, most people didn't care about what we were attacking her for yet because it was stupid. Here, play this clip.

And they were trying to process it. They were trying to cope even more. So you had Bret Baier who lives in his $40 million Florida mansion and McCallum. They were like, okay, so I think people really do care about this affordability stuff and maybe they're not buying what Donald Trump is selling.
I'm not talking about the Trump Bibles or the Trump meme coins or the whatever things that he's selling. Like when he's telling people right now that we're done with inflation and that everybody's living a golden age,
oh maybe that's not the best message here play this clip you know this idea of affordability which just basically means inflation that prices are too high and that that's a real sensitivity spot for people is i think something that republicans do have to look carefully at it's obvious that they're very aware of it i saw james blair today on with larry kudlow talking about how that he believes that
What they're seeing in the future indicator economic numbers are very positive. Scott Besson has implied the same thing. So obviously, before you get to the midterms, Republicans are going to want to work on making sure that that is tangible, that, you know, that people feel that increase. And I think, you know, if the economy is stupid, it ends up being the simple story of a lot of elections.
And I think that's clearly one of the lines here.
More from Ari Fleischer. He goes, these are blue states. This is all about blue states and that's it. Democrats won blue states, really? Like Virginia and all of these areas that, what about all the House of Delegates in Virginia that turned blue, right? How many was it? 15, 16?

Chapter 6: How did the Democratic Party's strategy affect voter turnout?
Here, play this clip of Fleischer. Let's play. Ari Fleischer, let's get your take on tonight.
Well, blue states are blue states and that's why the Democrats won tonight.
And Fox is not taking that New York City may erase well play this clip.
He barely won. He won by far smaller margin than she did. She dragged him over and now he should be a drag on her because my goodness, we've got a socialist anti-Semite pro Hamas guy as mayor of New York.
Oh, here's when Trace Gallagher. I feel like I'm watching Anchorman with these ridiculous names. Trace Gallagher. Here, Trace Gallagher now projects that Proposition 50 will pass. Play this clip. This is a special election night edition of America's Late News. Fox News at night.
And breaking right now, the polls are closed in California, and Fox News is now projecting that Proposition 50 will pass the congressional redistricting plan from Governor Gavin Newsom that is expected to flip five seats held by Republicans. Okay, do you remember when we showed this video on the Midas Touch podcast? Remember the Trafalgar pollster last week on Hannity's New Jersey town hall?
Remember this guy? He's like the right-wing pollster. And like you said, four years ago, we had the best poll in New Jersey. We saw this thing close then. We see it close now. And what you said is also very important. Look at who has this race close and who doesn't. The pollsters that have good records, like us, like Emerson College, like Coefficient, and like Qantas,
They all have this race extremely tight. The ones that consistently fail at elections, they're the ones skewing the averages. So it's important to pay attention to the pollsters who get it right. And it's imposter to look at what the Democrats do, not what they say. And the fact that they're sending Obama and the fact that they're worried. Look at their actions.
Don't look at their words and certainly don't look at their media polls. Look at what they do. And then earlier in the day, you had, I know my brothers are gonna say, stop, don't do your impressions, man. Just call the clips. Okay, then Lori Chavez Doremer, the anti-labor secretary, the labor secretary. No, my jokes are getting corny as we get into it. more of these videos.

Chapter 7: What were the key races to watch during the election night?
And that is what we wanted to see. And now this delay has stopped that momentum. And I can tell you, it's not good for the American economy. It's not good for the American people. And so we're focused. We're going to keep doing everything we can during the shutdown, but it has to end soon.
