After winning the 2024 election, Donald Trump has declared that he plans on ushering in a “new golden era of America.”

Glenn Beck of “The Glenn Beck Program” believes that he truly means what he’s promising.

“We have a team of people that are not just all politicians cut exactly the same way,” he says. “We actually have a chance of cutting our budget and being reasonable, and I also know that Donald Trump is going to cut regulation. I mean, he cut more regulation his first term than any other president.”

“To get this economy roaring again, I think he’s going to cut red tape like nobody’s business,” he continues, adding, “We could have a true rebirth of freedom and the rebirth of the American dream and I find that really hopeful.”

Stu Burguiere is hopeful as well, noting how impressive Trump’s win really was.

“He basically swept seven states by pretty narrow margins,” Stu says. “I mean, turnouts got to be a part of that story. Pretty amazing.”

However, the mainstream media and liberals across the country are not so hopeful, in fact, they are devastated.

“They’re so deep in their own lies that they’ll never find their way out of it,” Glenn says. “There’s no humility there either, I mean, if you’re not humble, you’re never going to fix it.”

“Which reminds me, let’s make sure we are humble. Make sure that we are humble or we will lose it again. We’ve been given a second chance. It’s like America was on the table and our heart stopped and somehow or another it just started beating again,” he continues.

A physician’s assistant in Pennsylvania has found out about the perils of making emotional posts on social media after losing an election.

Online sleuths tracked down the Philadelphia employer of Nicole M. Hart, who allegedly wished harm upon the daughters of women who voted for President-elect Donald Trump. After people bombarded the employer, Jefferson Health, with comments, Hart was reportedly fired from her position.

‘You *will* be outted by thousands of us. Tread Lightly.’

“To every woman that voted for Trump, I hope your daughter has an ectopic pregnancy,” Hart allegedly posted on social media after the election.

Ectopic pregnancies occur when a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, usually in the fallopian tube. They can be life-threatening and have become the focus of left-wing abortion activists. Such activists falsely claim that abortion bans do not allow women with ectopic pregnancies to get the care they need, putting women’s lives at risk.

Screenshots of Hart’s heinous alleged message were circulated widely on social media.

“These people’s brains have been so manipulated that they are a danger to society. Take her off the streets,” read one response. “Let this be notice to any other doctor, nurse, or medical professional. You took a Hippocratic Oath to not harm people. You *will* be outted by thousands of us. Tread Lightly.”

According to a video posted by the popular Libs of TikTok account, Jefferson Health said in an email that Hart was no longer employed at the facility.

“Well, that happened fast. There are consequences to your actions, Nicole. Hopefully now you’ve realized that,” said Chaya Raichik, the woman behind Libs of TikTok.

Trump soundly defeated Vice President Kamala Harris, and Republicans flipped the U.S. Senate. The fate of the U.S. House of Representatives is still to be decided, but many believe it will end up also going Republican.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency said it is looking into a shocking report that one of its officials had ordered relief workers to skip homes that were displaying pro-Trump signs.

The Daily Wire first documented the accusations based on multiple workers who said that supervisor Marn’i Washington gave a verbal order to avoid Trump homes. It also obtained documents that corroborated the claims.

‘It’s almost unbelievable to think that somebody in the federal government would think that’s okay.’

“Trump sign no entry per leadership,” read one entry in the government system reviewed by the Wire.

Washington reportedly made the order as workers were canvassing neighborhoods in Lake Placid, Florida, to sign up residents for federal aid over damage from Hurricane Milton in October and November.

“I know they’re short-staffed, I thought we could go help and make a difference,” said one of the employees quoted in the Wire report. “When we got there we were told to discriminate against people. It’s almost unbelievable to think that somebody in the federal government would think that’s okay.”

The report said the district affected by Washington’s order voted by 70% to back President-elect Donald Trump in the election.

“I volunteered to help disaster victims, not discriminate against them,” the employee continued. “It didn’t matter if people were black, white, Hispanic, for Trump, for Harris. Everyone deserves the same amount of help.”

Other messages in the government system read, “Per leadership no stop Trump flag,” “Trump sign,” and “Trump sign, no contact per leadership.”

FEMA told the Wire that it was investigating the claims.

“We are aware of it and we are taking action at this moment regarding the situation that you’re talking about,” said Washington’s FEMA supervisor, Chad Hershey.

The Wire also obtained a complaint made to FEMA about the alleged incident.

“This behavior raises significant concerns of discrimination against United States citizens because of their political views,” the complaint read. “These actions not only undermine the integrity of our agency and create a hostile work environment for those who may hold differing political beliefs but they also threaten the very democracy of our country.”

FEMA had been previously criticized for what many said was a slow and incompetent response to a major natural disaster that struck mainly Republican-majority states and counties.

President-elect Donald Trump is still months away from taking office, yet the European Union already appears desperate to cut a deal with him.

Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission,
addressed members of the European Council in Budapest, Hungary, Friday, signaling a desire to avoid a trade war with the United States and to switch from Russian to American gas.

When asked how she intends to negotiate with Trump on trade, Leyen answered, “I think first of all: Engage. Very important what we have started yesterday.”

Leyen was referencing her phone call with Trump Thursday, where she apparently congratulated him on his landslide electoral victory. The German politician
noted on X that they discussed defense, Ukraine, trade, and energy.

“Secondly, discuss about common interests. And there are common interests that we have,” continued Leyen. “Then go into negotiations.”

‘They are going to have to pay a big price.’

Leyen said that liquid natural gas was among the common interests she briefly discussed with Trump this week, noting that Europe still gets “a lot of LNG via Russia, from Russia.”

According to the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis, in the first half of 2024, Europe sourced 48% of its LNG imports from U.S., 16% from Russia, 11% from Algeria, 10% from Qatar, and 4% from Nigeria and Norway.

“Why not replace it by American LNG, which is cheaper for us and brings down our energy prices?” said Leyen. “It’s something where we can get into a discussion, also [where] our trade deficit is concerned.”

The U.S. Census Bureau indicated Tuesday that the trade deficit with the EU in September was $23.8 billion, contributing to the year-to-date trade deficit of
$173 billion.

Trump indicated in October that the EU would have to “pay a big price” for not buying enough American exports,
reported Reuters.

“I’ll tell you what, the European Union sounds so nice, so lovely, right? All the nice European little countries that get together,” said Trump. “They don’t take our cars. They don’t take our farm products. They sell millions and millions of cars in the United States. No, no, no, they are going to have to pay a big price.”

Politico
noted that Leyen’s maneuver to dodge the steep tariffs of 10% or more that Trump has threatened by promising to buy LNG is largely political theater granted the European Commission is virtually powerless when it comes to dictating European companies’ purchases of gas.

“The EU doesn’t buy LNG — there’s a global LNG market and LNG buyers have their own contract,” Laurent Ruseckas, executive director for gas markets at commodities giant S&P Global, told Politico. “It’s certainly possible to do a memorandum of understanding to talk about increasing purchases but ultimately in the past that’s been a way to put a political wrapper around something that was delivered by the market. And the EU is buying as much LNG currently as the market needs.”

Donald Trump’s Tuesday presidential victory against Vice President Kamala Harris is already having a positive impact on illegal immigration, even months before his official inauguration.

In October, Blaze News reported that thousands of foreign nationals were making their way through Mexico, hoping to cross into the United States before an administration change.

‘They’re already self-pre-deporting. WE ARE SO BACK!!!’

At the time, Luis Garcia Villagran, director of the Tapachula-based Center for Human Dignity, told a local news outlet, “As we speak, 40,000 to 45,000 migrants, 30% from the Middle East and Africa, are stuck and trying to leave for the United States before the end of the year.”

On Thursday, Reuters reported that a 3,000-strong caravan headed toward the U.S.-Mexico border had shrunk by nearly half after Trump clinched the presidency.

Trump has vowed to make curbing illegal immigration one of his highest priorities, pledging mass deportation efforts.

According to Reuters, after hearing about Trump’s victory, many of those in the caravan “felt less hopeful about their chance at a new life in the United States.”

Valerie Andrade, a Venezuelan national, told the news outlet, “I had hoped [Kamala Harris] would win, but that didn’t happen.”

Others who remained in the caravan stated that they hope the Biden-Harris administration’s CBP One app will allow them to book an asylum appointment at the border before Trump is inaugurated.

During a Monday rally in Raleigh, North Carolina, Trump sent a message to Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum.

“I’m going to inform [Mexico’s president] on day one or sooner that if they don’t stop this onslaught of criminals and drugs coming into our country, I’m going to immediately impose a 25% tariff on everything they send into the United States of America,” Trump told his supporters.

“If that doesn’t work,” he continued, “I’ll make it 50%; if that doesn’t work, I’ll make it 75%. Then I’ll make it 100%.”

Real America’s Voice correspondent Oscar Ramirez noted that since Trump’s win, the Mexican government has taken a more proactive role in deterring migrants from heading to the U.S. border. He added that he still anticipates there will be an increase in illegal immigration in the final months of Joe Biden’s presidency as foreign nationals try to enter before Trump gets into office.

Donald Trump Jr. reacted to the news that the massive caravan had dropped to roughly 1,600 individuals.

“They’re already self-pre-deporting. WE ARE SO BACK!!!” he wrote on X.

After Donald Trump decisively beat Kamala Harris in Tuesday’s presidential election, Trump-hating New York Attorney General Letitia James turned quite a few heads with a bizarre and cryptic speech vowing to “fight back” against the president-elect.

James — who campaigned for her office on the promise that she would go after Trump and sued him for hundreds of millions — spoke somberly with whispered endings to phrases, frequent dramatic pauses, and clipped, halting pronunciations of key words that seemed to reflect anger, shock, and sadness over Trump’s victory.

‘I dare you to try to continue your lawfare against President Trump in his second term. Because listen here, sweetheart: We’re not messing around this time.’

“We did not expect this result, but we are prepared to respond to this result,” James went on to say. “And my office has been preparing for several months because we’ve been here before. We faced this challenge before, and we used the rule of law to fight back. And we are prepared to fight back once again, because as the attorney general of this great state, it is my job to protect and defend the rights of New Yorkers and the rule of law. And I will not shrink from that responsibility.”

You can view video of her relevant remarks here, starting at the 9:20 mark.

‘Let me just say this to Big Tish James’

One prominent Trump legal ally was having none of James’ tough talk — and gave it right back to her.

Attorney Mike Davis — founder of the Article III Project, which “defends constitutionalist judges and the rule of law” — absolutely excoriated James during an appearance on “The Benny Show” podcast Thursday.

“Let me just say this to Big Tish James, the New York attorney general,” Davis said. “I dare you to try to continue your lawfare against President Trump in his second term. Because listen here, sweetheart: We’re not messing around this time. And we will put your fat ass in prison for conspiracy against rights, and I promise you that.”

Davis also warned James to “think long and hard before you want to violate President Trump’s constitutional rights or any other American’s constitutional rights. … It’s not gonna happen again.”

Fox News said it reached out to James’ office seeking a response to Davis’ comments.

The cable network and other outlets characterized Davis as a possible attorney general candidate in the Trump administration, but Davis said in a Friday X post that while he “strongly” supports the president-elect, he’s “not going into his administration and [is] not under consideration for Attorney General.”

“As I have made crystal clear, I do not speak for President Trump or anyone else,” Davis added in his post. “Like tens of millions of other private citizens, I am outraged by the lawfare and weaponization of our system of justice, including the New York Attorney General’s political crusade. All of the witch hunts have to end so our Republic can survive and prosper under the leadership of President Trump.”

Anything else?

Following James’ speech, Fox News legal editor Kerri Urbahn blasted James, saying it was “maybe the most distasteful speech I’ve ever seen a government official give after someone won the American presidency, and I think it reflects exactly how Letitia James has been this entire time.”

Urbahn added that James “has done everything in her power to destroy Donald Trump. She failed. Do you know how we know she failed? Because Donald Trump won decisively last night. This lawfare campaign that we have seen waged against Trump by attorneys general, by federal and state prosecutors, and doing so by twisting the law in ways they had never done before. … They used the law against Donald Trump in ways they’ve never used against anyone else in their states, in this country, and the American people spoke loud and clear last night and said, ‘We’re done with this.’ And yet for the attorney general of the state of New York to go on and give that speech just now is disgraceful.”

While the Department of Justice has moved to end federal cases against Trump before he takes office in January, state cases against him — such as the civil fraud case James brought against Trump resulting in more than $450 million in penalties against him — still hang in the balance.

Michael Jordan’s racing team was dealt a painful blow by a United States district judge who denied his team’s request for an injunction just before the culmination of the 2024 NASCAR season.

Jordan, who co-owns 23XI Racing with three-time Daytona 500 winner Denny Hamlin, was joined by Front Row Motorsports in a suit against NASCAR and its chairman. The lawsuit claimed NASCAR gave all Cup Series teams a last-minute offer in September; but both teams refused to sign the offer on antitrust grounds.

Judge Whitney summarized much of the claims by the racing teams as being speculative and not definitive.

As reported by the New York Post, the racing team owners claimed NASCAR’s charter system limits competition by binding teams to the series, its tracks, and suppliers in an unfair manner.

The lawsuit said Chairman Jim France and NASCAR are “monopolistic bullies.”

The teams wanted the court to grant an injunction that would release them from a clause in the NASCAR charter that prevents them from suing its sanctioning body. However, U.S. District Judge Frank D. Whitney ruled mid-day Friday that the two racing teams did not meet the burden required to be granted the injunction.

The injunction would have allowed the teams to compete as usual (as chartered teams) while still suing NASCAR. Instead, they may now have to compete as “open” teams, which does not guarantee them a spot in NASCAR races and limits their revenue. This could cause drivers and sponsors to leave the teams because they are not privy to those guarantees.

As reported by NBC Sports, the judge decided that the plaintiffs did prove they would suffer “irreparable harm if the injunction is not granted.”

Judge Whitney summarized much of the claims by the racing teams as being speculative and not definitive.

“Although Plaintiffs have alleged that they will face a risk of irreparable harm, they have not sufficiently alleged present, immediate, urgent irreparable harm, but rather only speculative, possible harm,” the judge wrote.

The judge also noted that the teams “alleged a possibility” that they will lose sponsorship agreements, citing that this wording is “too speculative.”

The judge further wrote that the teams only “allege that their drivers may leave if Plaintiffs compete as open teams.”

“Presently, this harm is too speculative to merit a preliminary injunction.”

The judge went on, “Plaintiffs have not alleged that their business cannot survive without a preliminary injunction. Instead, they allege that their businesses may not survive without a preliminary injunction.”

The ruling went on similarly about “potential” losses and future business losses being “merely speculative.”

“As such, this speculative harm does not warrant the extraordinary relief of a preliminary injunction,” he concluded.

The ruling comes just two days before the NASCAR Cup Series Championship in Phoenix on Sunday.

Four drivers are headed into the final race in a tie for first place in the Cup Series standings; one of whom is the No. 45 car driven by Tyler Reddick for Jordan’s 23XI team.

23XI’s other driver, No. 23 Bubba Wallace, is in 18th place. Both drive Toyotas.

Since Donald Trump clinched the 2024 presidential race on Tuesday, the panel on “The View” has struggled to come to terms with the Democratic Party’s stinging defeat.

On Friday, an unlikely host, Sara Haines, attempted to provide the panel with an explanation of how Trump secured his sweeping victory. However, her insights were met with resistance from her fellow co-hosts.

‘They voted for him because they needed help in their everyday lives.’

Haines is certainly no fan of Trump herself, having previously accused the president-elect of believing “facts are optional” and stroking “fear and hate every single time he opens his mouth.”

Earlier this week, Haines called for regulations on social media sites to combat what she considers misinformation, Blaze News previously reported.

However, on Friday, Haines shared a different message, encouraging her co-hosts to engage in some introspection regarding Vice President Kamala Harris’ loss.

She criticized the Democratic Party’s messaging, calling it “condescending.”

“It’s condescending, the way that the left speaks to its voters. It really is,” she said. “The message of not being educated, being dumb and what’s wrong with America.”

Co-host Sunny Hostin retorted, “What is wrong with America?”

“My point is, I don’t blame Joe Biden. I don’t blame Kamala Harris. Go back as far as you want. I blame a messaging within the Democratic Party,” Haines said.

“You don’t blame the Republican Party at all?” Hostin snapped.

— (@)

“Can I just finish my point, please?” Haines continued, adding that she “obviously” has a problem with the GOP and Trump. “The bigger question should be, yes, Sunny, why did they vote for him?”

Hostin argued that it was Trump’s supporters who needed introspection.

“No, we need to be in introspective!” Haines replied. “If we voted for Kamala Harris, we need to say, ‘What didn’t resonate with the voters?’ You know what didn’t resonate with the voters? When they were saying we don’t feel safe, and the left focused on defund the police and bail reform.”

“When they were focused on renaming schools, there were people saying, ‘Hey, students are destroying colleges. I paid for that. I sent them there. They can’t learn,’ and everyone apologized for it and didn’t want to attend to it,” Haines continued. “They also denied the border was a crisis and kept saying, ‘No, no, no, it’s fine.’”

Joy Behar interrupted to mention that the Democrats supported a so-called border bill.

“My point is they [the voters] screamed and screamed and screamed. They didn’t vote for him because he’s a racist or a misogynist. They voted for him because they needed help in their everyday lives,” Haines concluded.

Throughout her speech, Haines faced multiple interruptions from Hostin and Behar.

Hostin claimed that the Democratic Party’s message to voters was not condescending but rather “one of joy and inclusiveness.”

Behar dismissed Trump supporters as racists and misogynists.

Haines replied, “Every racist and misogynist voted for Donald Trump; not everyone who voted for Donald Trump is a racist and a misogynist.”

Behar agreed with Haines. She earlier suggested that the Democratic Party has always supported the working class, attributing the loss to voters failing to pay attention.

Hostin, who on Thursday blamed “uneducated white women” and “Latino men” for Trump’s victory, claimed that the incoming administration would allow for increased gun violence in schools and worker exploitation.

Kamala Harris’ campaign never gave up on the messaging that Donald Trump was an evil racist only rivaled by the likes of Adolf Hitler — but unfortunately for them, very few Americans actually believed it.

“To me it’s more simple than we have heard in the mainstream media,” executive producer for Voz Karina Yapor tells Jill Savage and Matthew Peterson of “Blaze News Tonight.” “They are saying crazy stuff out there. I was listening to ‘The View’ hosts saying that Latino voters didn’t vote for Kamala Harris because we are racist and Latino males are misogynist.”

“It’s very racist for her to say that about us. It’s more simple than that. We care about economy first. I think that’s one of the reasons and the main reasons Latinos voted for Donald Trump,” she continues.

Not only do Latinos value the health of the economy like any other hard-working Americans, they also value the mental health of their children.

“They are realizing the woke agenda, they are realizing that they don’t want their children to be indoctrinated at school, they don’t want their children to be transitioned at school, and they are waking up and they are making their voices heard through their vote for sure,” Yapor explains.

Immigration was also a major issue on the ballot for Latinos, and Democrats mistakenly believed that would be the issue to sway them.

“The border counties in Texas, 50% of Hispanics voted for Donald Trump. So, what does that tell you? That tells you that Hispanics are being impacted as well by illegal immigration. The fact that we are Hispanics doesn’t mean that we support illegal immigration,” she continues.

“I am an immigrant myself. I support immigration. I think it’s a good thing when you have control of it,” she says, adding, “So, most Hispanics are in favor of immigration, but legal immigration.”

Charlie Kirk, the founder and CEO of Turning Point USA, told Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck that he would seek to obtain a full pardon for Blaze News investigative journalist Steve Baker.

Kirk made the comments while calling in on Beck’s radio show Friday.

‘Every nonviolent Jan. 6 offender, I’m gonna push — and President Trump has pledged — to give them full and complete pardons.’

“The lawfare stuff is not completely over, and I will say this, as somebody who is helping out with transition, I’m doing everything we possibly can, that the most important appointment that is coming, is who [President-elect Donald Trump] will choose for attorney general of the United States. That right there will set the tone for the entire presidency from lawfare, from the investigations, from the weaponization of the FBI,” Kirk said.

“And also Glenn, I will push, with every fiber of my being, for your Blaze journalist to get a full pardon, and this entire show-trial of him to get dropped,” he added.

“Thank you,” Beck responded. “It is craziness. Thank you.”

“It is crazy. And I can’t remember his name, but he is phenomenal.”

“Steve Baker,” Beck said.

Baker has been hounded by the Department of Justice for trespassing and other charges related to his reporting of the rioting of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 after the 2020 election. He has pleaded not guilty and argues that other journalists and photographers have not been prosecuted as he has.

Kirk went on to explain other steps Trump could take to undermine the deep state in the government.

“And by the way, every nonviolent Jan. 6 offender, I’m gonna push — and President Trump has pledged — to give them full and complete pardons and commute their sentences, on the nonviolent ones,” he said.

“I think that’s a huge statement and a demoralization event for the deep state that’s spent so much of their time and their careers going after everyday Americans who did absolutely nothing wrong,” Kirk continued. “And I think we have to lead with that. I think we have to push for hundreds of pardons. And I know that sounds extreme.”

He went on to opine that the founders would have been pleased at this use of the pardon power they wrote into the Constitution for the executive branch of the government.

In response to Kirk’s pledge, Baker told Blaze News: “I’m honored and grateful that Charlie remembers my case, and any help he can provide to myself and the other nonviolent J6 defendants in bringing this political lawfare to a final conclusion is greatly appreciated by all of us.”

Baker’s case is set to go to trial on Nov. 12.

In the wake of Donald Trump’s historic victory over Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, the New York Times released an op-ed titled “‘Trump’s America’: His Comeback Victory Signals a Different Kind of Country.”

It’s one of many calumnious pieces the news outlet, and others like it, have published since Trump’s victory was solidified in the early hours of Wednesday morning. Despite its defamatory nature, the article captures what the left is genuinely feeling at this moment in time.

Glenn Beck reads the closing statements from author Peter Baker. Two things are abundantly clear: Liberals are genuinely terrified of Donald Trump, and their anti-Trump narrative will not die easily.

“The assumption that Mr. Trump represented an anomaly who would at last be consigned to the ash heap of history was washed away Tuesday night by a red current that swept through the battleground states and swept away the understanding of America long nurtured by its ruling elite of both parties. No longer can the political establishment write off Mr. Trump as a temporary break from the long march of progress,” Glenn reads from the op-ed.

The piece went on to belabor the left’s anti-Trump narrative, lamenting America’s decision to elect “a convicted criminal as president” and hand “power back to a leader who tried to overturn a previous election, called for the termination of the Constitution and aspired to be a dictator on day one, and vowed to exact retribution against his adversaries.”

Baker also demonized the millions of Americans who voted for Donald Trump, claiming that they brushed aside Trump’s “lies” and “wild conspiracy theories” and embraced him as “a victim of persecution” instead of “[dismissing] him as a felon found by various courts to be a fraudster, cheater, sexual abuser, and defamer.”

Baker called the election “a CAT scan on the American people.”

“As difficult as it is to say, as hard as it is to name, what it revealed, at least in part, is a frightening affinity for a man of borderless corruption,” he wrote.

Perhaps most disturbing, however, was Baker’s claim that Trump conditioned “Americans throughout this campaign to see American democracy as a failed experiment.”

“A victory for Trump would mean that this vision of America, and the recourse to violence as a means of solving political problems, has triumphed,” Baker declared.

Baker’s article captures the way liberal voters are feeling about Donald Trump’s victory. They genuinely believe that he is an evil tyrant who will destroy this country, and they are sickened that this was America’s choice. They feel the same way Trump voters would feel if Harris had won the election — disheartened and scared.

But Glenn has a message for these people.

“I do believe it comes from a misunderstanding of what our country is,” he says. “They’re looking at our country the way Woodrow Wilson defined it, and that is an administrative state,” but “what is in the American soul is something entirely different.”

“Who are we? What is it that we fight for?” Glenn asks.

“We see America more in the tradition of the Founding Fathers,” and “we believe that the American spirit is a force that inspires dreams; it also has fueled revolutions; it’s also driven some of the greatest innovations and achievements the world has ever seen. … We believe in the American individual,” says Glenn.

And to the liberals who would argue that they also believe in these things, Glenn says, “I don’t think you do because you want somebody to tell all of the individuals exactly what they must believe, what they must live, what they must eat, what they must drive, what they must teach their children.”

“We don’t believe that,” he says.

Glenn then explains how the founding of our country was only possible because the American spirit that longed for true freedom was stronger than the will of tyrants.

“They don’t determine our destiny — we do!” he proclaims, defining the American spirit and calling it “something that transcends race and religion or class.”

“We are exceptional because the rest of the world has been told ‘shut up and sit down.’ … What makes us exceptional is that we say, ‘Who are you to tell me that? You don’t control my life; you don’t control my vision; you don’t control my every movement,”’ Glenn exclaims.

“Our founders knew that governments left unchecked would accumulate power at the expense of the individual. We have been on this road that you in the New York Times may say is traditional,” “accepted,” and just “the way we are,” but “that is a perversion,” he says, pointing to 1916 as the time when the train tracks switched and America adopted the idea that “man cannot rule himself.”

But to believe that is to admit that “you don’t understand who Americans are.”

Defeated and dejected Democrats continue to seek answers in the wake of their electoral implosion, and some even believe they need a feminist version of Joe Rogan.

‘When a man is just lost and lonely and not yet radicalized, we don’t have the equivalent of Joe Rogan and Jordan Peterson to move that man in a feminist direction.’

Writer Anand Giridharadas made the case while a guest on MSNBC Friday, when he criticized the right-wing “media ecosystem” that had radicalized “lonely” males.

“It’s not a good one. It’s a negative one. It’s a — it’s a radicalization funnel,” he explained.

“But what they have done in their online media ecosystem is build a radicalization engine, literally the way militant groups do around the world, that takes people from relatively low-level annoyances with the world: ‘Why are eggs so expensive? Why is my kid learning this new thing in American history in school that I didn’t learn?’ And then moves them through YouTube videos, through podcasts, moves them from that annoyance all the way, slowly, slowly, slowly, to a full-blown fascist politics,” said Giridharadas.

“It’s an elaborate, multibillion-dollar infrastructure, and there is nothing like it on the pro-democracy side,” he continued. “When a man is just lost and lonely and not yet radicalized, we don’t have the equivalent of Joe Rogan and Jordan Peterson to move that man in a feminist direction.”

Video of the bizarre suggestion was widely circulated on social media.

President-elect Donald Trump went through a three-hour interview on the incredibly popular “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast just ahead of Election Day.

Rogan said that he extended the same invitation to appear on the podcast to Vice President Kamala Harris, but the issue became contentious after the Harris campaign said it was unwilling to fly her to Rogan’s studio. Rogan said the campaign told him she wanted a shorter time period and wanted him to come to her, which he refused to do.

Harris defenders were furious at Rogan for what they saw as a disrespectful attitude against the candidate.

Trump went on to soundly defeat Harris, and Democrats are furiously seeking answers.

Pat Stedman was released from federal prison on October 27, 2024, after serving a year behind bars for his presence in the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.

Stedman was in Washington, D.C., that day to protest 2020 election fraud and to petition Congress to vote against certifying the election prematurely in order to give the various swing states the opportunity to investigate voting irregularities, as was requested by numerous members of their legislatures.

While Stedman followed the crowd into the Capitol and shouted along with them, he did not engage in any violence.

Nonetheless, he was sentenced to 48 months for a felony offense, obstruction of an official proceeding — an Enron-era financial crimes law that theJustice Department weaponized against January 6 protesters.

Stedman was released early following the Supreme Court’s ruling that prosecutors had applied the obstruction law — originally meant to target the destruction of evidence — too broadly.

***********

Just under two weeks ago I was released from federal prison, one year to the day that I came in. Here are 10 things I learned in this crucible.

1. Your opinion doesn’t matter

In the civilian world, everyone feels entitled to say what they want, and most people take offense when others don’t agree with them. We live in an outrage culture that thrives on people spouting off on each other. This is basically X.

In prison, this kind of behavior isn’t wise. Unless asked, you keep quiet about your opinions and learn to tolerate others. You don’t provoke them. Arguments turn violent frequently. If you want to be right, prepare to fight.

And don’t get me started on the knives people make. The human mind placed under pressure is capable of incredible ingenuity.

2. Respect is paramount

Prison was one of the most respectful environments I’ve been in. More respectful than a country club.

Everyone says “excuse me” or “my bad” when passing by someone or interrupting a conversation. You hold doors for others. Entitled behavior is punished. The higher security the prison, the more dangerous it gets. Even moving someone’s chair without asking can lead to violence.

But it’s easy to avoid conflict. If you stay out of ego and treat people with respect, you will have few problems.

3. Necessity is truly the mother of invention

No lighter and want to smoke a cigarette? Two batteries and a wire will do the trick. Want to cook but no stove or microwave? You can boil water in a bucket with two cables wrapped around a metal slab plugged into an outlet.

I’ve even seen a convection oven built out of soda cans and loose wires. And don’t get me started on the knives people make. The human mind placed under pressure is capable of incredible ingenuity.

4. Prisons are mental institutions

After long stretches in prison, even strong men start to lose it. In some cases it’s obvious — people talking to themselves. But in most cases it’s more subtle. Looping conversations. Pacing the room back and forth constantly. Hoarding junk. Easily stressed by inconveniences. Paranoid.

Long lockdowns, boring routines, and constant assaults on humanity by guards can bring you down to an animal-like level. Some people come in like this. But most are made this way by the conditions. There’s a term for it: “institutionalized.”

5. Paperwork matters

The two classes of offenders at the bottom of the totem pole in prison are chomos (“child molesters,” used as a catch-all term for all sex offenders) and rats. It is very important that you have your prisoner “paperwork” to prove that you’re not one of them.

Fort Dix is a dumping ground for these types of prisoners, so they are allowed on the yard, unlike in higher-security prisons. But they are still the bottom of the totem pole and are disproportionately targeted for extortion and robbery.

Rats in particular are despised, which is understandable considering that most inmates are in prison because of them. Have your paperwork ready, or keep a low profile and stick to where you’re allowed.

6. Race is real and relevant

Prison is a tribal environment. You are categorized immediately based on your ethnicity and filtered accordingly into “cars.”

White guys have their table. Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, Mexicans, etc. each have their own as well.

Black guys organize based on geography, i.e. New York, Pennsylvania, Carolina. You can join their car even if you aren’t black, but it only happens rarely, usually if the guy in question also came from “the hood.”

The separation creates stability; the differences are apparent and universally recognized.

But respect is color-blind. There are dirtbags in every race as well as honorable men. The good men are friendly with each other regardless of background. Conflict between cars is uncommon and avoided at all costs. It’s called “crashing out,” and gets ugly. To avoid this, troublemakers are policed by their own.

7. Everything is relative

Fort Dix was real prison to me. But to guys who came from the higher-security institutions, it wasn’t.

You could go outside regularly. There weren’t bars on your cell doors. Even during lockdowns, you could still move around the building, use phones and computers, sometimes even watch TV.

I came to appreciate little things a lot. Being able to go to the gym, a little extra food at the chow hall, getting your comissary early, an unlocked door so you could move around easier — these all felt like “freedom.”

The abundance we have on the outside is amazing. After this year, something as simple as bread with butter and jam tasted like heaven to me.

8. Our information overload is extreme

After two days back in the “real world,” I was absolutely overwhelmed by the amount of information we receive. In prison, I had no access to the internet and limited communication with the outside world.

I didn’t scroll through feeds or messages. I talked to people or read. I was focused and present, had real conversations, actually learned some things. I can already feel the siren song of distraction calling me since I’ve been back.

Honestly, I prefer the clarity I had in there to the deluge of nonsense out here. There is something wrong with the way we are living. It’s not healthy or natural, and that explains so much of our growing social dysfunction.

9. You really notice women

Being around high-testosterone men 24/7, you become very attuned to even the slightest amount of feminine energy in the environment. Everyone notices female guards, even if they don’t gawk at them.

Little flourishes of femininity go a long way. You can almost smell it before you see it. I remember staring at my wife during visits, intoxicated by her presence. This was about more than just sex. The way her hair fell on her shoulder, the way she moved. Everything about her was refreshing — I just wanted to take it all in.

10. You can adjust to anything

My first few weeks in prison were tough. There were a lot of rules I didn’t understand that I had to learn. And to put it lightly, it was a very different environment to get used to, with very different types of people.

But then all of a sudden, all this newness became normal. I was living in a ghetto behind barbed-wire fences, and there wasn’t anything weird about it. I’d fist-bump gangsters and sneak apples out of the chow hall in my socks, as if this was just a part of life.

It’s still surreal for me to look back on it. I just left this world. And it already feels like a dream.

Philippe Reines, a longtime aide to Hillary Clinton, lamented how the Democratic Party is being held hostage by the radicals within it, costing the party in elections.

Reines claimed that many Democrats actually are concerned about the Biden-Harris border crisis and oppose men playing in women’s sports.

“I think Democrats believe in commonsense stuff more than you realize. I mean, it’s not like we sit at home and don‘t talk to anyone. Most Democrats I know think there is a huge problem at the border. Most Democrats I know think, frankly, that males at birth should not play women’s sports and vice versa,” Reines told CNN on Friday.

‘If you are going to ignore the political consequences of these kinds of things, then you’re asking to lose these elections in the manner that we did.’

“Either way, here‘s the problem: I am not concerned about what the right thinks about the Democratic Party. I am concerned about what I think about the Democratic Party. … I don‘t like the fact that a small portion of our party is pretty much dictating where we are. Pretty much, we are being branded as the most extreme of us,” he continued.

“Again, I’m afraid to say something wrong. The woke stuff, the PC-police stuff. You’ll see Republicans who say they’re afraid to say X. I’m afraid to say X. These congressmen are afraid to say X. Why?” Reines said.

— (@)

As if to prove Reines’ point, the Boston Globe reported Rep. Seth Moulton’s (D-Mass.) campaign manager and PAC director resigned after Moulton said he is against having men playing in women’s sports because he has concerns for his daughters.

The long-serving chairman of the Democratic Party in Texas also resigned this week in part because he said the Democrats’ embrace of transgenderism at the expense of women made them lose badly in the 2024 election.

“You could, for example, you can support transgender rights up and down all the categories where the issue comes up, or you can understand that there’s certain things that we just go too far on, that a big bulk of our population does not support,” Gilberto Hinojosa remarked. “If you are going to ignore the political consequences of these kinds of things, then you’re asking to lose these elections in the manner that we did.”

Moulton’s and Hinojosa’s comments about transgenderism created a fierce backlash from progressives.

One of the reasons why President-elect Donald Trump won the election is because his campaign was able to successfully highlight the extreme positions Vice President Kamala Harris took on social issues, like wanting to provide taxpayer-funded surgeries to prison inmates and illegal immigrants in U.S. custody.

Several professors at Ivy League schools canceled classes, excused absences, and allowed exams to be rescheduled because former President Donald Trump decidedly won the 2024 election.

The Harvard Crimson reported that the school’s dean, Rakesh Khurana, told students to “let yourself feel a bunch of emotions about how this is going to impact us in the future, and listen to other people and how they feel about it too.”

‘[If] you don’t feel up for class, absences today will be excused.’

The outlet noted that following Trump’s election victory, instructors for courses such as Statistics for Social Sciences, Solving and Optimizing, the Ancient Greek Hero, and Popular Culture and Modern China had canceled their Wednesday classes, made attendance optional, or extended assignment deadlines.

Economics lecturer Maxim Boycko allegedly sent an email to students in an Intermediate Microeconomics course that in-class quizzes would be optional.

“As we recover from the eventful election night and process the implications of Trump’s victory, please know that class will proceed as usual today, except that classroom quizzes will not be for credit,” Boycko reportedly wrote. “Feel free to take time off if needed.”

Physics professor Jennifer E. Hoffman purportedly wrote in an email to students and faculty that her office would be “a space to process the election.”

“Many in our community are sleep-deprived, again grieving for glass ceilings that weren’t shattered, fearful for the future, or embarrassed to face our international colleagues,” Hoffman reportedly wrote. “I stress-baked several pans of lemon bars to share.”

Citing internal emails, the Washington Free Beacon reported that a Columbia professor granted students permission to skip class.

“I hope you are hanging in there. I have been think of you over the last few days,” the Columbia professor reportedly wrote to her students. “[If] you don’t feel up for class, absences today will be excused.”

Meanwhile, because of the election results, a professor at Columbia University’s sister school, Barnard College, allegedly offered students a chance to “replace” an exam on which they performed poorly.

“In recognition of the increased stressed [sic] some of you might be feeling because of the election results, I will offer to replace your midterm Exam 2 grade with your Final Exam grade if better,” a Barnard professor reportedly wrote to students.

Campus Reform reported that Michigan State University Professor Shlagha Borah canceled classes because Trump won the election.

Borah, an assistant professor in the Department of Writing, Rhetoric, and Cultures, allegedly told her students in a memo on Wednesday night, “I am cancelling class today to grieve the presidential election results. As a queer, immigrant woman of color, I cannot, in good conscience, go on about my day like everything is alright.”

”This is a major historical event that we are witnessing,” Borah added. “I hope you take this time to take care of yourself.”

Michigan State University spokesperson Mark Bullion told the College Fix on Thursday that campus leaders are “aware of the situation and are addressing it through the appropriate leadership channels.”

The Daily Pennsylvanian reported that several professors at the University of Pennsylvania canceled classes in response to the election.

Economics professor Anne Duchene told the outlet she made attendance optional to her class in advance of the election results.

“I thought maybe, [having an optional lecture] can help everyone pretend it’s business as usual, instead of just looking at your screens constantly, trying to understand what [happened],” Duchene reportedly stated.

“I just wanted to acknowledge the wide variety of emotions that were in the classroom and also to respect these emotions,” Duchene allegedly said. “It’s really hard to know how the students are, what the students are really thinking, but my interpretation is that they wanted to have a normal class.”

Neuroscience professor Michael Kaplan also pre-emptively canceled his Wednesday classes, according to the report.

Anthropology professor Caroline Jones allegedly rescheduled an exam after “a slew of emails” from students expressed concern about preparing for an exam scheduled right after the election.

The Phoenix, a student-run newspaper at Swarthmore College, where annual tuition and room and board cost about $65,000, reported on the reaction to the election results:

As the Swarthmore community came to terms with the news, an outpouring of resources flooded their inboxes. Some professors canceled classes, the Office of Student Engagement encouraged students to use Sharples Commons as a “safe space to land,” and the department of political science promoted its pre-scheduled panel discussion set for Wednesday afternoon, “Election Night 2024: What Just Happened and What’s to Come.”

As Blaze News reported this week, Georgetown University’s McCourt School of Public Policy established “self-care suites” following Trump’s decisive 2024 election victory. Georgetown University attempted to soothe liberal students by offering them milk and cookies, hot cocoa, Legos, and coloring books.

President-elect Donald Trump achieved a massive victory in Texas, beating Kamala Harris by over
1.56 million votes for a decisive 56.3% to 42.4% finish. Republican Sen. Ted Cruz (R) handily beat Colin Allred 50.4% to 42.2% while other Republicans secured 25 U.S. House seats and flipped two seats in the state House.

Texas Democratic Party chairman Gilberto Hinojosa faced enormous backlash this week for suggesting that a contributing factor to his party’s humiliating defeat was its obsession with gender ideology. Evidently unable to weather the storm, Hinojosa announced his resignation Friday.

Hinojosa, who has led the Texas Democratic Party for 12 years,
told the Texas Newsroom Wednesday that Trump’s promise to institute mass deportations and limit legal immigration resonated with voters across the beleaguered state, highlighting Trump’s successes in every single county in the Rio Grande Valley and elsewhere across South Texas.

“Why do you think that Trump did so well with Hispanics? Because Hispanics live on the border,” said Hinojosa. “We’re talking about thousands of people crossing into the United States, and the government [under Joe Biden] is perceived not to be able to do anything to solve it.”

‘You have a choice as a party.’

The
network exit poll conducted by Edison Research found that 14% of respondents said immigration was the most important issue motivating their vote. 90% of those who signaled as much voted for Trump. Of the 26% of respondents who identified as Hispanic, 55% said they voted for Trump.

While concerns over the border crisis certainly helped turn former blue areas on the map red, Hinojosa recognized that Democrats’ desperation to pander to transvestites and gender ideologues likely alienated some voters.

“You have a choice as a party,” said the former chairman. “You could, for example, you can support transgender rights up and down all the categories where the issue comes up, or you can understand that there’s certain things that we just go too far on, that a big bulk of our population does not support.”

The Texas Democratic Party’s losing 2024 platform
calls for:

“LGBTQIA+ inclusive” sex education programs;
sex-change “medical care” and other accommodations for transvestites in prison;
the immediate passage and enactment of the Equality Act by Congress, which would add “gender identity” to federal nondiscrimination law and enable men to compete in women’s sports;
the affirmation that male transvestites are women, that female transvestites are men, and “that there are more than two genders”;
protections for drag shows;
keeping parents in the dark about signs of kids’ gender dysphoria at school; and
keeping sex-change drugs and mutilations available for confused Texans.

It was no secret ahead of the election that Democrats’ LGBT activism and views on transvestism were outside the mainstream of public opinion.

According to a Manhattan Institute poll conducted in late June, 74% of all likely voters, 76% of independents, 95% of Republicans, and 37% of Democrats indicated that transvestic athletes should play on sports teams with other members of their sex.

‘It is time to do the right thing.’

When asked whether schools should be required to inform parents if their children use incorrect pronouns at school, 67% of likely voters said, “Yes.”

An overwhelming 69% of likely voters said that children who claim to be “transgender” should not be allowed to receive sex-change treatments before the age of 18. When asked about sterilizing puberty blockers, 76% of respondents said that minors under the age of 18 “are not old enough to consent to puberty blocking treatments.” 82% of respondents said minors are not old enough to consent to sex-change mutilations.

Hinojosa appears to have been right, which made him wrong for the Texas Democratic Party.

The Texas-based political action committee Mothers Against Greg Abbott was among the radical groups that demanded his immediate resignation.

Just prior to
attacking white women, claiming they “always disappoint,” the PAC tweeted, “Today we call on every single Texas County Democratic Chair, union and Grassroots organization to ask for the resignation of our Party Leadership. It is time to do the right thing.”

The Stonewall Democrats of Dallas said in a statement
obtained by WFAA-TV, “Blaming members of the LGBTQ+ community — particularly trans Texans who already face disproportionate discrimination and hostility — is deeply irresponsible and counterproductive.”

“The Texas Democratic Party should be a safe haven for all marginalized groups and should champion inclusion,” added the LGBT activist group.

The Houston LGBTQ+ Political Caucus
noted Thursday, “Hey @HinojosaTX, hate is not a Texas value, and it shouldn’t be a value of @texasdemocrats. Throwing blame on Trans people is disgustingly demonstrative at worst, and a disingenuous excuse at best.”

Hinojosa soon found himself in a struggle session on social media, backpedaling in vain.

“I extend my sincerest apologies to those I hurt with my comments today. I recognize the pain and frustration my words have caused,”
said Hinojosa. “In frustration over the GOP’s lies to incite hate for trans communities, I failed to communicate my thoughts with care and clarity.”

On Friday, Hinojosa
announced he was stepping down.

“In the days and weeks to come, it is imperative that our Democratic leaders across the country reevaluate what is best for our party and embrace the next generation of leaders to take us through the next four years of Trump and win back seats up and down the ballot,” wrote Hinojosa. “That is why today I’m announcing that I’ll be stepping aside in the new year at the Spring SDEC meeting in March 2025, and passing the torch to the next generation. While this was a hard decision, it is the best decision for our party.”

Comedian Andrew Schulz says he thinks Donald Trump’s appearances on podcasts helped him build a connection with voters that drove them to the polling stations.

Schulz was speaking with co-host Akaash Singh on his podcast “Flagrant” when he began discussing the now-limited reach of mainstream media.

“Was Kamala [Harris] so bad that even with the influence of legacy media they couldn’t get [her] over the hump? For example, if Michelle [Obama] was running or if Barack was running with legacy media in its current state, I think they might be able to still get it over,” Schulz speculated.

Schulz then blamed legacy media for convincing Americans that “up until election night” the presidential election was a close race.

“[It’s] legacy media that is constantly pushing narratives that not only is it close, ‘she might be ahead! Iowa’s going to her; she’s going to flip all the [swing states]; it’s going to be an absolute mauling,’ right? That is legacy media pushing a narrative and people believing said narrative.”

‘It wasn’t exactly the free-form speech that we’re kind of used to.’

Schulz then went into detail on how Trump, much like popular comedians with podcasts, was able to create an emotional connection with audience members who were then inspired to go out and support him.

“If you look at the biggest touring stand-up comedians in the world, they all have podcasts where they’ve built this amazing community and connection, and we talk to people every single week,” Schulz outlined. “They know intimate details about our life. To me what that’s proven is that just because people are famous doesn’t mean you go out; connection is actually what makes people go out.”

It was that connection with Americans that Schulz explained he felt Vice President Kamala Harris didn’t have. She appeared on some podcasts that were more like “short, very contrived interviews.”

“It was very controlled. It was things edited out. It wasn’t exactly the free-form speech that we’re kind of used to,” the comedian claimed.

Trump appeared on the “Flagrant” podcast about a month before the election, along with other podcasts with Joe Rogan and Theo Von.

Harris’ biggest podcast appearance was on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, which predominantly focuses on promiscuity and college life. She later appeared on “Club Shay Shay,” a podcast with former NFL player Shannon Sharpe. That appearance did not even crack the show’s top 50 most viewed episodes, however.

Schulz went on to point out that podcasts are about connecting people, while legacy media is about selling “depression pills” from sponsors.

The comedian added that voters came out to support Trump because of the “connection” and that people voted for President Biden in 2020 because they didn’t have to leave the house.

After Trump’s appearance on his podcast, Schulz had a large arena cancel his gig, claiming he was not “the right fit” for the venue.

At the same time, Trump’s podcast circuit likely bolstered his status with young men, who voted for Trump in larger numbers than in 2020. Trump garnered 56% of the 2024 vote with men ages 18-29.

A caller on a New York City radio station is making waves for his comments claiming Democrats do not fulfill their promises to black people in the United States,

During an episode of “The Breakfast Club,” the extremely popular hip-hop radio show in New York, a caller took his chance to convince black Americans to demand more from their politicians.

“Man, I just want to say, bro, that [we’re] not a monolith. Black people think by themselves,” the caller began.

“I feel like, at the end of the day, why we lost, I feel like it’s the Democratic Party is the reason why we lost, man,” he continued. “They promised us and promised us and promised us, but we never get nothing in return, man. And it’s a new day and a new age, and I feel like as black people, we should now demand everything we want before we give up our vote, man.”

‘Maybe we just need to switch parties now or maybe do something different.’

The caller then suggested during the “Get It Off Your Chest” segment that black Americans need to stop settling for “crumbs” from Democrats.

“We’ve been sitting around too long and just giving, getting the crumbs. But now we need everything we ask for,” the caller went on. “Maybe it’s a good thing that Trump did win, because we can see if he really piggybacked off of [Barack] Obama’s economy. Can he come bring us out of this economy?” he asked.

The caller added that if President Trump does spur an economic recovery, it’s time for black Americans to reconsider their votes.

“Maybe we just need to switch parties now or maybe do something different. That’s how I feel.”

According to Fox News, exit polling has shown that Trump performed better with black voters compared to previous elections with 16% support, a four-point gain over 2020. However, this included 24% support from black men, which is double the number who voted Republican when Trump was up against President Biden.

Power 105.1 radio host Charlamagne responded to the caller by saying those who voted for Trump need to “push him to do what he promised he was going to do.”

“If [the economy] doesn’t trickle down to the least of us, then it doesn’t matter,” the host continued.

In another clip of the show posted to X, the host rhetorically asked why so many commentators have seemingly stopped calling Trump and Republicans fascist since he was elected.

“Don’t y’all find it strange that now that he’s won, they’re not calling him a threat to democracy? They’re not calling him a fascist? … It just makes you wonder how much of it did they really believe, or how much of it was just politics,” he theorized.

The leftist mayor of San Francisco who presided over a shocking rise in crime and homeless over the past six years will soon leave office, having lost her re-election bid to a businessman with no political experience.

London Breed, 50, became mayor of San Francisco after winning a special election in the wake of the passing of Mayor Ed Lee in late 2017. Since then, she has implemented a radical agenda.

‘Over the coming weeks, I plan to reflect on all the progress we’ve made.’

She was among the first mayors of a major city to strip law enforcement of funding in keeping with the BLM cry to “defund the police” following the death of George Floyd. In 2020, Breed announced that she would cut a whopping $120 million from the budgets of both San Francisco’s police and sheriff’s departments, the New York Post reported in December 2021.

Within a year, she had reversed course about funding law enforcement, but by then, homelessness and crime, particularly property-related crime, had soared. In March, residents from the Tenderloin district even sued the city for failing to address these problems.

“Every day, at all hours, people are dealing drugs and using drugs in front of [the plaintiffs’] apartment building. There are encampments. People are lighting bonfires. Their sidewalks are filthy with all kinds of problems from used syringes to human waste,” said Matthew Davis, one of the plaintiffs’ attorneys.

Facing a tough re-election battle this year amid a slate of eager challengers and ranked-choice voting, Breed then tacked toward the center. At a debate in front of a crowd of unionized firefighters in July, Breed announced that she would crack down on homeless encampments following the Supreme Court ruling Grants Pass v. Johnson.

“We have had to move from a compassionate city to a city of accountability, and I have been leading the efforts to ensure that we are addressing this issue differently than we have before,” Breed said at the time.

“We will continue to lead with services, but we also can’t continue to allow people to do what they want on the streets of San Francisco, especially when we have a place for them to go.”

Such gestures were too little, too late, apparently.

On Tuesday, voters decided to go with Daniel Lurie, the 47-year-old heir to the Levi Strauss fortune and the current CEO of the anti-poverty nonprofit Tipping Point, KTVU reported.

Because of his wealth and quick rise from relative obscurity, critics accused him of trying to buy his way into office. Lurie dismissed those allegations.

“You can’t buy an election in San Francisco. You’ve got to go out and earn every vote,” he said.

Though voters often ranked both Breed and Lurie on their ballot, as of Thursday, Breed trailed Lurie considerably, 43.8% to 56.2%. Breed then called Lurie to concede.

She also posted a concession message to X, claiming to have done her best and made significant “progress” during her time in office.

“I answered the call and always gave San Francisco and its people my heart and soul.”

Breed also expressed optimism about the future.

“I am the Mayor – but you all are doing the hard work every day and the City is on the rise. Over the coming weeks, I plan to reflect on all the progress we’ve made. But today, I am proud that we have truly accomplished so much and my heart is filled with gratitude,” she wrote.

Lurie, a political neophyte, has already pledged to secure 1,500 more housing units for the homeless within six months of taking office. He also wants to hire 450 new police officers within three years, according to KTVU.

However, he also cautioned that the city will not turn the corner “overnight.”

“I’m deeply grateful to my incredible family, campaign team and every San Franciscan who voted for accountability, service and change. No matter who you supported in this election, we stand united in the fight for San Francisco’s future and a safer and more affordable city for all,” he said in a statement.
