In this episode, Seth Leibsohn and Ed Morrissey, of Hotair.com, discuss whether Trump has a post-election mandate, with Ed arguing that mandates are myths in the U.S. system, as presidents often misinterpret election results as broad approval for sweeping changes. They debate voter demographics and policy shifts, with Seth suggesting elections can still indicate ideological realignments despite national divisions. They also talk about Biden's ratcheting up tension between Russia and Ukraine by allowing Ukraine's use of long-range weapons.

Townhall Review - November 23, 2024

Mark Davis, filling in for Hugh Hewitt, talks with Matt Continetti, of the Washington Free Beacon, about Trump’s aggressive approach to staffing his administration.

Kurt Schlichter, also in for Hugh, sits down with Senator-elect Jim Banks, who praises Pete Hegseth’s qualifications, calling him the reformer needed to address woke ideology in the military as Secretary of Defense.

Victor Davis Hanson analyzes New York Congresswoman Elise Stefanik's appointment as U.N. ambassador, emphasizing her strong pro-Israel stance. He highlights the deep corruption within the U.N., underscoring the need for bold reform.

Joe Piscopo asks Andrew McCarthy to explain the collapse of many legal cases against Trump. The Manhattan case under DA Alvin Bragg remains an exception but faces growing scrutiny.

Seth Leibsohn and Brandon Weichert, author of “A Disaster of Our Own Making: How the West Lost Ukraine” examine the Biden administration’s decision to greenlight strikes into Russian territory. Weichert warns of rising global tensions and highlights Netanyahu’s unyielding approach to Israel’s existential conflict, which just crossed its 1,000th day.

Trump 2.0 and Those Appointments!

For the first time in four decades, Republicans are basking in the embrace of pop culture. Boxers and football players are doing the “Trump dance.” Leaning right is the new counterculture.

It’s fun for conservatives to swim in the mainstream—especially after having been marginalized by the left for so long. But Republicans will make a great mistake if they draw the wrong lessons from the 2024 elections.

Republicans didn’t win because a majority of voters signed onto their agenda. They won because the Biden/Harris administration was an utter, arrogant failure; and because Donald Trump is a unique and engaging pop culture figure who was able to capture key constituencies of working class and minority voters.

Republicans haven’t yet cemented this new coalition. They can—but they’ll need to enact policies that make these new voters’ lives noticeably better.

Let’s get to work!

Carol Platt Liebau: Let’s Get to Work

Democrats spent the last four years shrieking about the necessity of obeying the law and accepting election results to “save democracy.” And now—in Pennsylvania, Democrats had been openly flouting the law to include illegal ballots—and defeated Senate incumbent Bob Casey was supporting it.

Several counties in Pennsylvania controlled by Democrats were including misdated or undated ballots to attempt to rescue Casey’s seat. The state supreme court ruled that these ballots violate the law, which didn’t stop Democrat commissioner Diane Ellis-Marseglia. “People violate laws any time they want,” she declared while continuing to count the illegal ballots in Bucks County. 

So: The state Supreme Court had to weigh in again, commanding them to stop. 

What has ‘democracy defender’ Bob Casey said about this? Nothing.

The shenanigans need to stop. Until they do, Casey and Democrat attorney Marc Elias will keep trying to corrupt the process in a vain attempt to cling to public office. Isn’t that what Democrats spent the last four years claiming Republicans would do?
