But first,
thank you, America.
That's the focus of tonight's angle.
I'm so happy.
I was so nervous a few weeks ago.
A flight attendant whispered those words in my ear this morning. An hour later, another stranger, I don't know, about 35 or so with a wife and a few small children, approaches me and says, what a great Thanksgiving this one's gonna
be. No, I've heard this time and again in recent weeks and you know why.
If y'all don't get up and do the Trump dance, because everybody's doing it. The entire world is happy that Donald Trump is bad baby.
Young man,
if that's what makes you get your ass out of here, young man.
Young man.
Stunk.
Of course, I get it. It's a self-selecting
group. Their Trump supporters are in a good mood. But I still think America is feeling more hopeful this holiday.
People are breathing a sigh of relief.
They can actually
speak their minds and not worry perhaps about getting fired or getting penalized or getting canceled.
And isn't it time to stop fighting and start having some fun?
A constant state of turmoil and fury
should not be our natural state.
No,
no,
no,
no!
Why, why, why?
I am ashamed
to call myself an American. In fact, I no longer
call myself an American.
Wake up!
This is f***ing America and this is sad.
It's so sad, really, and so hilarious, but it is mostly sad. And just think of how the anti-Trumpers
invested
in Judge Mershon's sentencing of Trump in Manhattan.
I want the judge to give him 6 months. I worked in the West Wing. To be eligible to work in the West Wing, you have to qualify for a top secret security clearance. Felons can't get top secret security clearances. When you spend a year in prison in New York or under, you serve in Rikers Island.
Okay?
Ooh,
the audience goes. I love watching these clips now.
Thank God this Thanksgiving
that Americans did not fall for that twisted and wishful thinking.
Including, by the way, young people.
We should be so grateful to voters 30 and under who turned out for Trump in numbers we haven't seen since Reagan.
It turns out young people, they don't want to go through another 4 years of declining opportunities and high prices. Why should they?
Today, they're giving Donald Trump's transition handling a staggering
65
percent approval. And by the way, not just young people. More Hispanic and African American voters turned out for Trump and tuned out the lies.
They see MAGA more as an opportunity
and not as a threat.
But bumbling Biden, he sold it so hard.
The extreme movement of America, the MAGA Republicans,
led by a defeated president,
is trying to steal history now.
And thank God enough Americans are over Obama as well.
We do not need 4 years
of a wannabe
king, a wannabe dictator running around trying to punish his enemies. America's ready to turn the page. We are ready for a better story. Georgia, we're ready for a president,
Kamala Harris.
Damn it.
And speaking of talents past their expiration
date,
I want to thank God that Oprah's going to somehow
squeak by this holiday season with the paltry payday her production company made from Kamala's campaign, poor baby.
After all, she's such a political savant.
We don't get to sit this 1 out.
If we don't show up tomorrow,
it is entirely
possible
that we will not have the opportunity to ever cast a ballot again.
And thank the good Lord for the voting public who put Donald Trump over the top and who are still happy with their choice.
A new Emerson poll shows 54% of Americans have a favorable view of Donald Trump now.
That is a record high for him.
Now the list of what we should be grateful for goes on and on. Now remember, some of the so-called political experts warned that candidate Trump
should stick to the economy and the border
and stay away from the culture war issues. Well, as usual,
Trump relied on his gut and he ignored their advice.
We will get
critical race theory
and transgender
insanity the hell out of our schools.
We will keep men out of women's sports. That's like a no-brainer.
And it turns out we can be very thankful that it looks like Trump
broke woke. The largest retailer in the United States is dumping its diversity, equity and inclusion charade.
Walmart is pulling back on diversity, equity and inclusion programs. Why the changes?
What we're trying to do is to ensure that every customer,
every associate feels welcome
here to shop and to feel like they belong. And we're going to continue to make the best decisions we can that makes everyone, our customers, our associates,
feel like this is an environment they can shop in and thrive in.
All right, that's a really long-winded way of saying, we're listening to our consumers now who think woke is a joke.
Trump doesn't just know how to read the room, people.
He reads the country.
Case in point, his announcement yesterday that he's planning significant tariffs to crack down on fentanyl and other board-related issues. Thank God.
Now, remember, tariffs
are to free trade absolutists
what sunshine is to vampires.
But real people see their utility
and the leverage that tariffs provide.
According to that same CBS News poll, 52 percent of Americans
support using tariffs on imported goods.
Smart. Trump now has everyone's
attention. And suddenly, I predict, we're going to see even fewer migrants and less fentanyl coming across the border. More on China's bluster response later on in the show.
And
we'd be remiss on the angle
in not being supremely
grateful for Elon Musk,
not only for his generous support of Trump in the final months of the campaign, and that was generous,
but for his foresight
in buying Twitter.
I think it's a very tough call
about whether or not Republicans
could have won
without him
and X.
Free speech won the day and the election,
and deranged never-Trumpers who urged that Trump be censored
and
pushed Musk and others like RFK and Tulsi Gabbard and Nicole Shanahan out of the Democrat Party and into the Trump coalition.
And
of course, there would be no coalition without Trump himself,
the master communicator. President Trump? I really don't know what he said at the end of that sentence. I don't think he knows what he said either.
Look.
Trump, the fighter.
Trump the pragmatist.
Trump the peacemaker.
I will end the war in Ukraine, which would have never started if I was president.
And I will stop the chaos in the Middle
East. And Of course, Trump, the meme generator.
He makes politics fun again.
And shouldn't we start taking that whole pursuit of happiness thing seriously at this
point? I think sometimes as conservatives, and it's true,
We're always on the lookout for the traps, the obstacles, the challenges, the potholes,
the landmines.
But this should be a time for hope.
We have achieved
amazing victories this year, victories that few predicted in January, 2021,
not even I.
And now we have an incredible opportunity, the best in decades,
to build a better world
for our children and our grandchildren and expand this coalition to all 50 states.
And speaking of kids,
I am really thankful for my children, Maria, Demetri, and Nico. Yeah, teenagers drive me crazy, of course, but what would life be without that kind of crazy?
And I'm grateful for you, the viewers.
And that's the angle.
