[00:00:00] It's post election 2024, and Democrats are wondering what went wrong, forgetting that in a democracy, elections are never wrong. Clearing up the confusion and hoping we never hear from Kamala again, today, on The Tenth Man.

First, we want to commend the Democrat leadership, not all Democrats, but most of them have actually accepted the results of the election. It's not like back in 2016 when they had riots in Washington, D. C. with cars set on fire. And, no, I'm not talking about January 6th. We're talking about the Democrat side.

Although we do have Some [00:01:00] insurrection, there were some insurrectionists in New York City parading people of the, not my president, we won't obey strain. We hope they get put in jail, but they probably won't. So let's look at who to blame for the disaster that was the, the, this election as far as the Democrats are concerned.

First ones to blame would be the women. The Democrats are quite proud of the fact that they have all of the college educated women voting for them, and they do have the majority. We should probably call these the college attending women, rather than the college educated women, because there are many women who just go to college, and there are many women who are educated who do not go to college.

And as it happens, the people who go to college and actually get educated, as far as in, as opposed to being indoctrinated, the ones who get jobs, actually we should say, they get a [00:02:00] real degree, so they end up getting a job in some field, are very different from the other women because women nowadays attend college in much higher numbers than men do in the United States.

But women also drop out in higher numbers. And when they talk about the student loan problem, women also default on their student loans in higher numbers. So while there were a lot of women who went to college and then became malleable and will vote for whoever the Democrats tell them to, unfortunately, not all the women did that.

Not all the women went to college. Not all the women. Don't have jobs and not all the women voted for Biden. So blame the women. Similarly, they can blame the black Americans. Black Americans are about the only ethnic group. This was demonstrated by a black conservative officer [00:03:00] Tatum, who has a show on YouTube, produced a chart of all the ethnic groups and showed how it is still the blacks that, that basically, basically, but vote as a monolith.

Now in this day and age, when we talk about white privilege, everybody should have the same privilege and blacks should be encouraged to do the same as whites and vote for whoever you think is the most qualified. Don't vote for whoever they tell you to. You can do the same as the white man who votes for a black candidate.

If he wants to vote, votes for a white candidate, if he candidate, if he wants to, and nobody can criticize him for it. It's entirely up to you. And in this election, more and more blacks made that decision, that they were going to have the same privileges as the white people and vote for the most qualified person.

Unfortunately for the Democrats, that helped to defeat Kamala. So [00:04:00] blame the black vote. Let's take a break and thank some of our listeners. One of the statistics that is a visible is where is your. IP server. So while we can't see exactly where you are, we can call it a name and it's, if the IP server town is near you, then that might be evidence of your own footprint.

So we want to thank Forest Lake, Minnesota for listening. And also Maryhill, Ontario, another one out of the country would be Sydney, New South Wales. And back in the States, Toccoa, Georgia. As far as Sydney and Takoa, we'll call these out as being repeats so you or somebody is listening to the channel from that, from that location more than, more than once, several times.

And all of these have listened to the previous episode and that's where we got the list. Just a reminder that many platforms, Spotify is one of them, allow you [00:05:00] to put in comments that we can see and probably you can see each other's. Also, if you want to comment, you can go to the. 10th man Facebook page.

And on that page, we announced the things that are different episodes happening on the other platforms, such as YouTube TikTok, Rumble, and of course here on the podcast. The reason for those is different ones have different levels of popularity. Ideally, this is the one. This would be the one to to, to use, and we would hope we'd have the most listenership here because on the podcast, we don't have to make a video and edit it.

And also we're, we're we have fewer constraints as far as censorship, both here and rumble, but we get more viewers on the other two on YouTube and especially on TikTok for whatever reason. So we'll tell you what's up on the different ones on, on the Facebook page. And so getting back to our. Of course, we can blame the candidate.

So, first of all, let's look at what she is. She's a black [00:06:00] woman, supposedly. The Democrats can't define a woman, and they're pretty loose about the definition of black. And so this philosophy, this tactic of talking about her race and her sex, which she keeps telling us, along with her family, her experience, I was born in a middle class neighborhood, it's starting to sound like something we would make fun of her for.

Far from being a tool, a method to help get up, get voted. It just became a joke. Like when Joe Biden was always telling about the kids at the pool, rubbing his leg hair and his friend corn pop, et cetera. We're getting to a post racist era. Many people have been tired of hearing about race for a long, long time.

We're tired of hearing about, this is the first black this, the first Asian that, the first woman. Because, in the final analysis, it doesn't matter. So, the default position of [00:07:00] anyone is, we don't care. We don't care. That's the default position of anyone. You have to have a reason to care about the race or the sex of the candidate.

So they should stop trying to push that because it's not going to work anymore. Then there's some of the things that the candidate said, like saying she was a victim of busing. Back during the presidential debates. Be more careful about the things you say because Kamala You are not a victim of busing.

Busing is a program whereby students were put on a school bus and bused from their poor district over to a richer district and Vice versa in order to elevate the levels of all the schools That being the definition of busing She was therefore going from a poorer school to a better school, so she was a beneficiary.

So the argument just doesn't work. If she wanted to be a victim, she should have said, Trump called or something. [00:08:00] One of Kamala's Democrat friends, Gretchen Whitmer from Michigan, famously talks about how Trump called her that woman from Michigan. She has a embroidery work in a frame. She has a, has t shirts and Trump never said it.

So it's pretty good tactics, pretty solid. She should try and try and use the nickname that he gave her or didn't give her or wrap yourself up into some kind of, in some kind of tragedy. This is a great Democrat. tactic. Again, Whitmer was reelected based on her two school shootings. Also in Michigan, Elissa Slotkin.

Pretty rare to have two school shootings in your state. There were two in Elissa Slotkin's district. So wrapped in those and shedding some tears of being the victim, she ended up getting promoted to Michigan's Senate. So now she's Senator Elissa Slotkin. One of the most successful tactics Democrats have is being the one in charge when there's a disaster.

If you need any more examples, look at [00:09:00] Pete Buttigieg, the unqualified secretary of transportation. And what has he done since he's been there? Well, he's had the doors coming off of airplanes, lots of airline and airplane problems. He's had a train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio. He has a ship hit a bridge in Baltimore.

And what does that do for him? Does he get fired? No, it gets him put on the list of VP candidates. Democrats are never held accountable. They're always promoted when there's a disaster. So what Kamala should have done, she should have taken the border crisis and shed some tears and saying how horrible it is.

Instead of defending the illegals, she should have said how horrible it is and made herself out to be the poor, woe is me victim. And if she had done that. For sure, she would have been elected president. Instead, let's look at the things that she does do. Comma, comma, chameleon. She stands for lower taxes, supporting the middle [00:10:00] class, for law and order, and supporting small businesses.

Unfortunately, that's what she says, but what she does, that's not her history. People will vote for a Democrat based on his core beliefs. People are voting for Donald Trump based on his core beliefs, even though what his methods or tactics to, to accomplish the goals might change. And that's true of any politician.

They might have to change their, their tactics, their tools, their methods, but their core beliefs should be the same. They should not be a weather vane of what they think will get them elected. So Republicans agree or disagree. They pretty much always have the same message, but comic chameleon, no. And especially with enforcing the law, when she makes that her claim to fame, the one thing where she can supposedly say she has experience I say supposedly because in order for something to count as experience, you have to have successes.

But like a lot [00:11:00] of Democrats, Kamala is against stuff. She's against common sense. That's kind of a Democrat thing, being against common sense, and for her it was not punishing crime. Senator. To be fair, she announced it before she was elected that she was not going to enforce the law, but in general, a person should put his beliefs above the law, otherwise shouldn't be the prosecutor.

And she promised, for example, her state, California, has the death penalty. And she says I'm not going to do the death penalty. Well, probably she should move to a state that doesn't have the death penalty and then, then prosecute cases there. And this continues up until now as a California voter, she had the opportunity to vote on their proposition 36, a law and order proposition.

As you may know, shoplifting is, is rampant in California because there's no punishment for it. Prosecutors were not using the tools that they [00:12:00] had. So the voters wrote a referendum and said, people who shoplift multiple times will be felons. We don't know how Kamala voted, because she wouldn't tell us, but that kind of tells us she voted against it.

Being the law and order candidate, she probably should have not only voted for it, but campaigned for it. The next problem she has is her image, as a woman. Well, as a woman, Kamala, probably drop the pantsuits, because those don't make you at all feminine. And you should not be ashamed to be feminine. A woman should be able to be able to run for office as a woman, not as an imitation man.

We mentioned Gretchen Whitmer. That's because Gretchen is an up and comer. She gave the response speech to Trump's state of the union a couple of years ago. And she was on stage again at the DNC this summer. She went on stage wearing a skirt, high heels and lipstick. She was actually pretty enough to be a Republican.

If you look at our, some of the [00:13:00] Republican side, Nikki Haley, Tulsi Gabbard, Christy Doem, and go back to Sarah Palin, she was a beauty pageant winner Whitmer used to be kind of dumpy looking, so it's not just her natural look, she's decided to be more feminine, be more feminine, be more attractive to run for office.

And now that she's found a hairstylist and gotten the proper quote, foundation garments, unquote, that fit her, and that's going to make her harder to beat in 2028. There's the name thing. Kamala Harris, but your husband's name is Emhoff. Be genuine. You're married. The Republican women, as I mentioned earlier, they all go by their family names, their husband's names.

They have families, they have children, their children, their, their children, their husband and the wife all carry the same last name. And that's not just American Republicans either. Hillary Clinton there's Angela Merkel, Margaret [00:14:00] Thatcher. If you go in the past, there's even more famous ones who were like Bella Abzug was a feminist.

Or the first woman in black America to run for president, that was Shirley Chisholm. They all went by their married names. There's really no good reason, unless it's some kind of feminist statement, to go by your maiden name instead of your husband's name. Do you think that people can't remember your new name after a marriage or a divorce?

We do it all the time. The Democrats are always making us learn new names for entire countries like Myanmar, or their capitals like Kiev. As if we don't know who Caitlyn Jenner is. Pretty easy change, pretty easy adjustment after all. The next problem is her speaking ability. She has a horrible voice and horrible mannerisms.

People were joking and it wasn't a joke. Who could stand to listen to her for the next four years? This may sound cruel, but people can be [00:15:00] trained and this is not sexist either. There are thousands of women who can speak in public. They're on the news. They're, they are sportscasters and they are other politicians.

She should either be trained or, or don't run. And did she learn to speak from Hillary Clinton? Cause it was the same thing. You have a microphone, you have a microphone. You don't need to shout into it. You don't need to shout into a microphone. And that's just. The basics. And when you want to sound stern, you do that by changing, by strengthening your tone of voice.

You don't have to raise your pitch and be shrill. Yeah. And as far as again, being sexism and the real sexism is that no one dares to criticize her. And back to what she says versus what she does briefly. Actually, some of this is based not on your intent, but on your ability. I mean, what you promise versus what you believe, yes, that's important, but what you say you'll do versus what you [00:16:00] actually can do is also important.

For example, she promised a 50, 000 tax cut or credit for people starting a small business. Wonderful. It's inconsistent because Democrats closed and destroyed thousands upon thousands of small businesses during COVID. But apart from the inconsistency in the weather vein. And the irony of her campaigning on this tax cut for businesses is she's simultaneously accusing Trump of having a national sales tax by imposing a tariff.

This sales tax is nothing more than her saying that the tariffs are going to be passed on to consumers, ignoring the main function of a tariff. The main function of a tariff is to discourage trade, limit trade with that country, with China. Tariffs have not been used as a revenue raising tool since 1912, before we had federal income tax.

Although a tariff does raise revenue, that's not its primary purpose. Its purpose is to to punish [00:17:00] China for improper trade practices, or to use it as a tool of diplomacy. In the in the ideal world They'll stop the bad behavior and we collect no tariffs and there's no tariff to be passed on. So in cases like this, we can just blame the Democrat platform.

The Democrats also accused Trump of cutting social security. It's common knowledge that something needs to be done to social security to fix it. Either you have to cut the benefits or you have to increase the taxes. Or as brilliantly as Donald Trump suggested remove the income tax on social security.

That's brilliant because you don't have to change anything as far as what's being collected. All you're going to do is deprive the government of more, more money that they would just waste anyway. And you don't have to change it. So social security itself, people are going to be able to just keep more of their own money.

So we can blame the Democrats and being more specific, we can blame their campaign. The Democrats talk a lot about billionaires [00:18:00] and there was one billionaire in the spotlight, Elon Musk, but there were a lot of Democrat billionaires on the stage. People like. Taylor Swift and Beyonce and Bruce Springsteen.

All of these actually are billionaires. Then there were billionaires behind the scenes like Melinda Gates and the widow of Steve Jobs. And the ones with money were giving it away. The ones who were entertainers, they were taking money in order to entertain versus Elon Musk. Elon Musk is given money, given time, and He's a successful entrepreneur, not a nobody entertainer who never did anything for the economy or for production or for the gross domestic product.

And when it comes to money, the Democrats had plenty of money. They way outspent the Republicans. They were outspending by five to one in the last days of the campaign. And then the campaign [00:19:00] trotted out the has beens, the Obamas and the Clintons. Why in the world would you expect anybody to listen to them?

The most respected president of the 20th century, respected by others, was probably Herbert Hoover. Considered a failure as being president during the depression. Yet after he retired to Arizona, wasn't it? The subsequent presidents used to call him and ask for advice. Presidents in office were calling him.

In contrast, we have Kamala, she's calling the Obamas and the Clintons and putting them on stage for them to tell us what to do. Maybe she'd just taken some advice from them for herself. She might have done better. And then they campaigned by getting former Republicans and saying they now support Kamala.

Think about that. What in the [00:20:00] world are Liz Cheney and Barack Obama doing on the same stage when one was a war hawk and the other one was famously against the Iraq war? So what do they have in common? Well, it's not policy. They're just both mad at Trump, not necessarily agreeing with the Democrats.

Compare that to Elon Musk we mentioned. Elon Musk, however, used to be a Democrat. So the people changing sides, look at how they're doing it. Musk didn't change sides because he was against some person had some personal animosity. He's against the campaign policies and the platform. Well, we never heard anything about their policies.

Did we? Gabbard, Tulsi Gabbard and RFK jr. They too, they used to be Democrats. So did Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia. They're gone. They aren't gone because they don't like Kamala. They're gone because they didn't like the policies. So when you want [00:21:00] to show a turncoat, show one that turncoat for a good reason.

They showed us the generals, a bunch of generals signed a statement saying why they were opposed to Donald Trump and favored Kamala Harris. Well, what would generals talk about? Well, you could tell it was a prepared document because it talked about things that might be in the democratic platform. Things like, you know, immigration and the economy.

Well, what do generals know about immigration and the economy? They might speak about defense, but, but Donald Trump is pretty strong on defense. And the generals criticize him for not being supportive of our closest NATO allies. We love our NATO allies, but they have their own president to argue for their best interests.

Our president should argue for our best interests. Not for the other nations of NATO. One of the biggest blunders was the Democrats trying to campaign just on abortion. [00:22:00] Abortion is really not that big an issue. Now that Roe versus Wade is overturned, the decisions has gone back to the states. Take a map of the red states, blue states election and overlay it with strict abortion laws, liberal abortion laws.

And it's the two maps are the same. The two maps are the same. The persecuted women who live in the States with strict abortion laws are happy with the laws made by the legislators that they elected. The only exception to that map comparison would be it goes the actual, the actually the other way. The people in strict States didn't vote for Kamala.

No, the people in swing States with liberal abortion laws, like Michigan and Pennsylvania. Trump carried them. It was the opposite of what the Democrats expected. The Democrats should just remember that the United States is after all a federation of States and [00:23:00] all the elderly women marching for the rights of people, not their daughters, but people, their daughter's age, living in another state, maybe those women should just mind their own business.

You're not going to have any kids. And the people who are. It's not your concern. Your business should be the economy, immigration, inflation, things like that. Then we can blame the deep state Democrat machine, the oligarchy, because they should have picked someone qualified. Kamala was just a DEI hire, and they're only good for one thing.

They're only good for one thing, and that is, after they lose, you can then blame racism. She never should have been on the ticket. It's scary that she was always a heartbeat away from the presidency when she was the least effective VP in history, at least up until her nomination, then everybody suddenly found that she could walk on water.

Her lack of effectiveness is the reason she was not announced [00:24:00] right away when Joe Biden withdrew from the race. But the reason she was on the ticket at all, it's the same formula as it. Obama and Hillary, they take a Senator, an unqualified Senator, and decide that they have the right optics, as they call it these days, the right appearances and would make a good candidate.

One reason they do it though, is because it doesn't really make any difference which Democrat wins. Look at what's happening right now. Joe Biden is in office. He might be wearing depends diapers, but he can still sign his name. Same thing with Kama Lama Ding Dong, she can giggle her way through a meeting with Putin and humiliate the country, but at the same time, anytime George Soros puts something in front of her to sign, she can sign it.

And that's not just conspiracy theory. Soros has had private meetings [00:25:00] with Joe Biden 18 times. Huge difference between Trump and Soros. And these other politicians, he might be annoying, but he isn't bought. Definitely would not fit in with the Democrat machine. You can also blame Tim Walz. Blame Tim Walz because he was a detriment to the ticket.

You hope that the person running for vice president will be a help to the ticket, but at least won't hurt it. And Tim Walz was a detriment. We've mentioned Gretchen Whitmer a couple of times. It could have been her. It could have been Gavin Newsom. It could have been Josh Shapiro. It even could have been Pete Buttigieg.

If any of them had been on the ticket, she would have done better. So why didn't she ask them? Well, here's a, here's a secret for you. She did ask them. They turned her down. If you were considered an up and comer in the Democrat party, would you want to run as vice president with Kamala? Think about it.

Here's something that's truly unprecedented an often overused word But it's [00:26:00] not being used enough right now. The situation right now is unprecedented. It has never happened That a president has been elected to a second term After a first term and he can't run for re election Grover Cleveland had two terms separated by another term, but there was no term limit then So all the governors, or anybody else for that matter, who wants to run for president in 2028, they only have to wait, wait four years and not eight or 16.

If Kamala did well, she'd get elected and reelected, and then more likely the Republicans would win. And then they'd be in office for eight years. So her VP candidate might, might run and then might be able to run against the Republicans in eight years. But which looks like the more sure bet waiting for Kamala to lose and running in 2028 or waiting perhaps [00:27:00] 16 years.

And don't forget that a heartbeat away from the presidency thing. Can you imagine JD Vance being president in case something in the event that something happens to Trump? Can you imagine Tim Walz in the event something happens to Kamala? Ultimately, one of the biggest reasons Kamala lost is Tim Walz.

Some people are blaming Biden because he did not withdraw from the race sooner. He should be blamed for not stepping down sooner. In fact, he should step down now. Everybody who thinks Kamala would make such a great president, she could be president. All he has to do is step down now. But he won't. And this just underscores why she was a bad candidate.

If she would make such a good president, he could step down now. She could be president for two months, get all the glory of being the first woman president, and we could see how she did. She'd be like Trump. She had two terms separated by, by another term, but nobody's going to [00:28:00] let her do that. Remember, we blamed the Democrat machine for putting her up, but she didn't have to accept.

The Democrat machine can put her up, but she didn't have to accept. Well, now it's reversed. The Democrat machine could make her president now, and she could be president for two months. But you watch, they're not going to do it, because it would not go well. Last of all, you could blame the cheaters. Despite the cheating, Kamala still didn't win.

Now we're not talking about the ballot box stuffing. That doesn't really happen. We're talking about the soft cheating that they can get away with. The soft cheating of busing, telling people how to vote, then giving them a ride, getting them, having them getting on the shuttle bus and taking them to the polls.

The only reason we have early voting and absentee voting is to promote that ballot harvesting, going into the rest home and giving all the old people a ballot and then telling them how to fill it out. [00:29:00] That was a big factor because people did it in 2020, but this time they were saying, no, thanks. I don't feel like voting.

I don't feel right about filling out a ballot that you're telling me how to do it. Then there's the law fair. They say we're electing a felon. Democrats elect actual felons like Kwame Kilpatrick and Marion Barry. And actually RFK Jr. was a felon. These are people who caught committing crimes in real time by the police.

By the police doing their actual jobs, not in a scheme cooked up by a lady prosecutor somewhere who runs on a platform that they're going to get Trump and then creates a law just to do that. The soft cheating of the secretaries of state refusing to put Trump on the ballot in Colorado, and then refusing to take RFK Jr.

off the ballot in Michigan, and only doing that to try and influence the outcome. The Democrat judges refusing to allow clearing voter rolls of non citizens, [00:30:00] and the same judges outlawing voter identification. So we don't know who's voting. Then they forced the census takers to count aliens as citizens.

Which gives more electoral votes to states like California, which always vote Democratic. They can't vote, but the state gets more electoral votes. You see, the cheaters don't have to stuff ballot boxes because all these methods of cheating have been found to be legal. But they should have done a better job, so blame the cheaters for not cheating just a bit better.

In the final analysis, nothing went wrong. The public's will was heard. They heard all the lies from the Democrats. They saw who Kamala really was and then voted for Trump. So blame the voters. And yes, they're already doing that. And most of all, blame Donald Trump. Blame Trump for coming to [00:31:00] Washington, willing to speak his mind.

And if his message might change, his core principles never do. You may not like it that he offends people, but you should see value that he doesn't care, that he does it for you, and that he does it for free. Thank you for listening.
