No one should ever be rewarded for failure
You reward excellence, you do not reward mediocrity. And when you do, things fall apart.
Tucker looks at why Republicans were unable to deliver their red wave at the polls yesterday and gives his suggestions on what they should do about that if they want to win in the future. Highlights include:
“In a number of key races around the country, we still don’t have a vote total. In Arizona, for example, there is no declared winner in the senate race or in the governor’s race.”
“But, according to news reports, the official results may not be in for more than a month. Officials in Arizona told CNBC today that they are ‘prepared to work through Thanksgiving, and possibly Christmas, as well.’ That means results by New Years in a race that was held in early November.”

“That seems late. How late is it? Well, by comparison, results of the 1862 midterm elections, which were tabulated by candlelight without machines or even electricity in the middle of a raging civil war were cleared before the end of the week. That was the entire country. Arizona is a single state, which by the way is a fraction the size of Florida, which as you may have noticed, counted its votes in less than a day.”
“The state of our elections systems in many places is, indeed, pretty embarrassing, but so, honestly, were the results of last night’s elections. Republicans swore they were going to sweep, a ‘red tsunami’ … but they did not sweep, not even close to sweeping. The Republican party may, in the end, may take control of the House and the Senate, but only by a tiny margin, at best.”
“That’s great, but it was not the plan. The plan was really simple, it seemed easy a week ago. An unpopular president, a faltering economy, an open border, the looming risk of nuclear war … put all of those together, how could there not be a massive Republican win nationally?”
“Well, there weren’t. Joe Biden was not punished. In fact, he was out there bragging about himself today.”
“One obvious point, the people whose job it was to win but did not win should go do something else now. We’re speaking specifically of the Republican leadership of the House and the Senate and of the RNC. It’s nothing personal, some of them are no doubt nice people, but they took hundreds of millions of dollars to paint the map red, and they didn’t. It doesn’t mean they’re evil, it doesn’t mean they should be jailed, it does mean they shouldn’t be promoted. No one should ever be promoted for failure. If there’s a truly conservative principle in life, it’s the principal of the meritocracy. You reward excellence, you do not reward mediocrity. And when you do, things fall apart.”
“The mechanics of an election, they matter. In fact, they matter sometimes more than any individual running in the election. The way people vote makes a big difference to the outcome, and so, by the way, does access to channels of communication. Why does that matter? Well, because you can say whatever you want, but if no one hears you, you’re not really speaking, and that’s the case for Republicans, so often.”
“As of tonight, Republicans can communicate their message unencumbered on a single cable television channel and a handful of relatively low-traffic websites. The rest of the American media amounts to a gigantic filter designed to distort what Republicans are saying. So, if Republicans want to win elections, too, they might spend some money to fix that.”
“These are fixable problems. You can get your message out. You can force the other side, if you try hard enough, to agree on fair election rules. But you can’t do any of that unless you acknowledge these problems exist.”

Indicting Trump is an abuse of power
Make no mistake, this is a turning point for the country.
Tucker looks at why Donald Trump might possibly be indicted and questions whether that’s even illegal and punishable at this point. Highlights include:
“The dominant rumor on the internet over the weekend was that Donald Trump will soon be indicted, possibly even handcuffed on camera. Is that true? We can’t say. We do know that Trump is the subject of a grand jury investigation in Manhattan, that’s a city that voted against Donald Trump by almost 80% in the last presidential election. We also know that the grand jury was empaneled by a Soros-funded DA called Alvin Bragg.”
“So we would assume on the basis of that evidence that’s it’s pretty likely Trump does get charged with something at some point, but charged with what? That’s the question that should matter. In a free country, laws are universal. Laws apply to all citizens equally precisely because all citizens are considered equal.”

“Eight years ago as he was running for president, Trump paid a porn actress named Stormy Daniels $130,000. Daniels alleged that she and Trump had at one point had sex. Trump denied that, he still denies it. But in exchange for promising not to repeat that claim in public, Trump through his then attorney Michael Cohen, sent Stormy Daniels a check. Was that legal?.”
“Because there was a campaign in progress at the time, officials at the Federal Election Commission later examined the transaction between Trump and Stormy Daniels. Federal investigators concluded that nothing criminal had taken place, and in fact, settlements like this, whatever you think of them, are common, both among famous people, ‘celebrities’ and in corporate America. The result is usually known as a NDA, a non-disclosure agreement.”
“It didn’t really answer the question. Why are we handcuffing Donald Trump? Liberals don’t seem to care at all as long as it happens, as long as Trump gets handcuffed. But, in fact there’s plenty of evidence that Trump committed no crime in sending money to Stormy Daniels.”
“We don’t have to guess. Consider the case of former North Carolina senator John Edwards. Long after Edwards left office, Barak Obama’s DOJ charged him with federal finance violations. So, the premise of the case against John Edwards was that he had received $1 million in gifts and that he spent that money in ‘hush money’ payments to his mistress with whom he later had a child. Obama’s DOJ argued that the money Edwards sent to his girlfriend amounted to ‘campaign contributions.’ Edwards never reported that money, so Obama’s DOJ tried to send him to prison.”
“Well, in the end, the case fell apart under the weight of its own incoherence. So, Obama’s lawyers argued that any payment that could conceivably help a political candidate politically is by definition a campaign expenditure. There’s no law that says that, by the way, they just made it up. But if you think about it for a second, it doesn’t make sense. If that were true, flip it around. It would mean that candidates could use donor money and also taxpayer money in the form of federal matching funds to pay for any personal expense as long as that expense could conceivably benefit them politically.”
“Not surprisingly, John Edwards was acquitted in that case.”
“What’s interesting is even as Bragg has been single-mindedly focused on Donald Trump and his ‘crimes,’ sending money to a porn star, he has been not only ignoring real crimes, but downgrading felonies to misdemeanors and letting actual violent criminals out of jail as quickly as possible. On his first day in office, first day, Bragg, consistent with the ideas of the man who paid for his campaign, George Soros, issued a memo explaining his office will ‘not seek a corsarial sentence except in cases involving homicides, economic crimes, and a small number of felonies.’”
“Bragg seems to be alleging that Trump violated New York’s Business Record Act by falsely reporting the payout to Stormy Daniels as ‘legal fees.’ Now, if this were true, it would constitute a misdemeanor and the statute of limitations has already run out for that, for the bookkeeping error, assuming it even happened. But Bragg apparently is thinking about charging Trump under a felony version of the Business Records Law, one that punishes businesses for falsifying records as a way to commit another separate crime. That would be the campaign finance violation, which as we mentioned, was not a campaign finance violation, and we know that from the FEC, which policies campaign finance violations. By the way, if it were, that would be a federal crime, not something that Alvin Bragg, the Manhattan DA would be prosecuting.”
“Make no mistake, this is a turning point for the country. Now, the headline here is not that they’re being unfair to Donald Trump again, though of course they are, or even that Trump is the former president of the United States. Who cares? Though, as long as we are indicting retired presidents, where are the charges against George W Bush for invading Iraq under false pretenses and giving permanent normalized trade relations to China, which completely wrecked our economy?”
“What happens if they get away with this? If they use the Justice Department, in full view of everyone, to settle a political score and to keep the White House, just to take a guy out of the race who seems to be doing fairly well? We’ll destroy the justice system, and that’s not a small thing. A functioning justice system has kept this country peaceful for hundreds of years. The purpose of a justice system is to administer justice so that citizens don’t have to do it themselves, you outsource that duty to the government. But what happens when you take that away, when there is no justice system?”

Zelenskyy is demanding you send your kids to war
Zelenskyy is on television almost every day demanding that you send your children to war, really, where they could die.
Tucker continues his coverage of your government actively trying to drag us into a war with Russia and China, allegedly to defend a democracy that isn’t a democracy, who refuse to account for the several billions worth of money and equipment they’ve received over the past year.
Highlights include:
“Well, it looks like you’re gonna get a hot war with Russia and China whether you want one or not. Yesterday morning, and American reaper drone went down over the Black Sea. We still do not know exactly what happened.”

“We don’t expect to find out anytime soon, if ever. The Biden administration says it knows, it says the unmanned drone was harassed and damaged by two Russian fighter jets over international waters. It’s all we have, we’re going to have to take their word for it, everybody else seems to be. Lindsay Graham didn’t ask many penetrating questions, no, he moved immediately, seized the opportunity to demand that the Pentagon attack the Russian air force.”
“What would Ronald Reagan do? Oo, good question, Senator Graham. Ronald Reagan’s two term presidency was notable for the fact that he did not declare war on the Russian air force, and therefore the United States did not go to war with Russia and millions of lives were saved as a result, that’s not a small thing. Put one in the Reagan win column there. Another president they told you is a crazed warmonger who actually kept us out of war but won the cold war anyway. And how did Reagan do that? Well, simple. He kept the American economy strong.”
“The Republican presidential nominee, almost no matter who it is, will oppose an open-ended commitment to fund the war in Ukraine in order to fight Russia forever. Now, their position is, in fact, fully in line with the overwhelming majority of conservative voters, the ones who choose the Republican nominee, but those voters have been utterly disenfranchised for the past year as Lindsay Graham and the Atlantic magazine and the ghost of Ronald Reagan have been permitted to speak for them in bad faith. But it’s not just conservative voters who don’t want war with Russia, it’s the majority of all voters, and now there are people running for office who agree with voters, as in a democracy.”
“We’ve sent a huge amount of material to Ukraine, artillery, ammunition, $100billion, so that would suggest that the Ukrainian military has a lot of equipment, they’re well armed. But no, at the very same time that Mark Milley’s telling us that, the Pentagon just yesterday informed us that, actually, Ukraine is running out of munitions.”
“So, we’ve spent more than Russia’s typical annual military budget in Ukraine, and yet the Ukrainian military is out of ammunition again? Okay, that might be a question for Zelenskyy, Where’s all the money going?”
“These hair hats on television scolding the American Speaker of the House because he won’t suck up to a corrupt foreign leader who’s demanding that you send your children to war in a country you can’t find on a map? Zelenskyy is on television almost every day demanding that you send your children to war, really, where they could die. Now, typically, people who demand that you put your children in a position where they could die are not your allies.”
