>> and good morning i'm trace gallagher and welcome to another hour of fox news special election night coverage. breaking this morning, the 45th president of the united states projected to be the 47th president of the united states. returning to the white house with all odds with opposition in the courts, media, you name it. but tonight he took a victory lap. >> we overcame obstacles nobody thought possible. it is now clear, we have achieved the most incredible, political thing. look what happened, is crazy? [cheers and applause] >> trace: in the meantime kamala harris not making an appearance and still not officially accepting defeat. we began with senior national correspondent kevin corke in d.c. with a look or a closer look at some of the numbers. kevin. >> closer look indeed and you may be wondering if you have

been watching trace, bret, martha and headed we get here? walking you through tonight, if just joining us, president trump, future president trump over the 270 mark and you may ask how in the world did we end up here already at 277 and still states out there? let me show you. i have circled some of these already for you. this is how the night and for the former president and future president. one by one all these battleground states, georgia, north carolina, pennsylvania, wisconsin, i should point this out they were still some bleeding in nevada, arizona, arkansas. you are looking 20 electoral votes out there in 15 up in michigan. you realize if he wins a live them in leading in all of them, you could look at a number well over the 300 and i don't know, let's say 315 number here. let me see if i can get this and cleared out out for you.

there you go, let me show you michigan, my friend. he is leading with 86% already in. who would have predicted other than tyrus coming into the night the former president would possibly win every single state in the famed blue wall. he's just about to do it as you see it right now 86%. i want to share something else with you, too, trace, the senate race, i know we will talk about this a little bit more at length later on in the broadcast but let me show you this, 51 already. we still have others out there, my friend and it could just be here in montana which we talked about that you could look at another red pickup 62% too soon to call and jon tester could be going down. if that happens you are not looking at 51%, trace, 52, 53, 55 and had the g.o.p. likely will control the house, you coud

be looking at a former in future president back in office with the control of the house and the senate to do his bidding. he promised to get the economy back on track. he will have all the leverage to do just that or at least it looks that way at this hour, trace. >> trace: indeed, it does kevin corke, let's bring in female institute ke kaylee mcghe white como staff director julian epstein new york reporter lydia moynahan, welcome to all of you. the economy was the top subject and donald trump talked about it tonight. he wants this economy and he needs this thing to get back on the right track. speed so to make. >> exactly right, we can actually get something done especially with the speaker, the current speaker of the house really pushing the legislation forward to change things.

one of the things i think about we have a trillion dollars in credit card debt. we have 10% default rate, inflation is eating up wages. people really haven't seen much growth and that is a problem. donald trump says he will fix it. i think the question is, how do you lay out those plans for the american people in the coming days exactly what you are going to do and how you will bring this economy back and ensure the american people can live a good life again versus adding three or four jobs to make ends meet? be when we analyzed and we had an hour to look at the numbers d step we talked a lot about the t long. and all of a sudden, it turns out maybe we talk too much about the democrats. >> the democrats depending on gender gap to pull kamala harris through. i share this with you, trace coach at the first assassination attempt my own political solution, i reluctantly voted 2020 and 2016 but i was for trump this time around. you will not believe how many

other women i have spoken to the said had the exact same thoughts. i want to share these numbers we got from the fox news voter analysis because the stomach these are the numbers project right now. women on lipo b6 53-45. that is not a big gender gap so if kamala harris was depending on women to bail her out, it didn't happen and i really do think women were the new shy trumpeter this election cycle. they did not want to admit they were for them but they did turn out for him. >> trace: they did, indeed and jodi, i think it is fascinating to talk about kamala harris didn't come out and she didn't say a good sport i lost and congratulations to the former president. we got nothing. go home, take a nap, we will come back in the morning and see if we can come up with something. >> trace for your pace is consistent with the base

throughout the election lecturing the black man about voting, you know, voting for kamala harris or maybe you're not black as they said at o one point. and then hypocrisy of paying we've got to make sure we take election seriously and have a peaceful transition and practice what you preach. here is the time to come forward and say let's have a peaceful transition. we have a clear winner let's go forward. model for the country. >> trace: wonders deep if trump derangement syndrome is a pastor is that not? >> i don't think he did so deeply ingrained and we can trace it right back, web course, 2015-2016 and nothing has been learned. you use the word contempt and that is the word i associate with elite view of suddenly donald trump that this also incredible movement that encompasses so many people. i just don't understand it. the defining characteristic for

trump, he is just someone who loves this country and approaches things like a pragmatic, problem sale thing business guy. how do i solve the problems in a real insult to the intellectual, academic mind-set of the ruling elite. and they find it almost impertinent impertinent how can this guy be popular and so sucha challenge to their worldview. am afraid that we will see more of it that we will also see is more and more success from this new, pragmatic, nonideological republican party focused on lifting apps working people in america and giving them opportunity periods beam and what do you think julian epstein? is there a battle to be had between the democratic party and the trump administration? do you think they will try, let's impeach, let's do this, are they pretty much out of the equity at this point in time? >> they have tried this resist

strategy for eight years, nine years and i don't think it is working well. i think there is evidence tonight conceding to the gram of the progressive left in messaging and policy is a big mistake. i think the democrats would be much better off trying to work with the administration on fixing the economy, particularly inflation, going after immigration with sensible policy on energy with a b ep mandates putting autoworkers out of business and to sort of work with the administration and that often brings you to the question, it was a democratic leadership, obama, pelosi, schumer, jeffries, and they all knew the performance of harris before she came into the race when biden dropped out here till they were all part of the process to cover up biden's infirmity and all part of the process to pick harris.

two fatefully bad decisions. i think part of the question here, does that leadership have accounting? the easiest way they can show leadership the resist of the strategy in the past didn't work well and it stopped us from putting out a firm agenda so let's find common ground and then we can find areas to differentiate but do it in a cooperative way. speed when is interesting talking about cooperation and we got sound for a lack of a better term and starting a little bit of the blame game here, watch. and people freaking out and this is not the outcome we expected it all. we were not expecting the blame game has started, but for many of us existential election kids in the belief that many of us had that trump launched insurrection. this is devastating on many different regards. >> trace: i mean, do you

believe libby at are believing the media when they say he is hitler and they start believing that? they are fascinated when the election results come out and they lost like they did? >> completely, right here till all through the process, it would be very easy to take a step back and listen to the media but that is not something they chose today. this is going to be a lengthy autopsy when you think about the missteps and the campaign. the democrat party should be thinking, be appointed somebody who is not democratically elected but the fact she did not win a single primary vote when she first ran for president. that should be a clear indication that this was not a popular candidate. of course, trace, we spoke about this on your show this was not a popular vice president either, right? there was chatter before biden not from the top of the ticket that maybe she would actually be replaced. so, i think for anyone on the

outside who is pretty clear to see it was a difficult thing to prop her up, of course, she was able to carry the day in terms of creating good vibes and bringing joy. but that was not something able to be sustained. we did see that initial rally, of course, put at the top of the ticket and at the dnc. but it was kind of more as we have spoken about a sugar high. at the end of the day, people recognize, i don't feel as safe as i felt. i can't afford bacon or groceries. that is really what they are thinking about when they go into the polls periods feeling she makes a good point, kaylee, because you wonder if media and "the view" will go crazy tomorrow but a moment and we lied about biden and the hitlerd people, may be there is also

kind of a postmortem to do on that? >> i think it would be too much to ask for. if the media starts actually recognizing the economy and immigration serious factors in why kamala harris lost the race, i will be overjoyed to. i don't think it is going to happen. this is the same media lying to us the past several months think the economy is great and you guys should shut up about it. they will not do introspection you're. you know what, i would not be surprised at all if the people they may do a tried to blame are not necessarily kamala harris are those in the democratic circle but elon musk, joe rogan, vladimir putin, all the usual villains will come out in full force starting tomorrow morning, mark my words. >> trace: i wonder at what point in time, maybe it was 10 minutes ago, what point in time do we hear tomorrow it should have been josh shapiro and not tim walz. if josh shapiro they would have won pennsylvania made the blue wall holds and you know it is coming. >> right now it should have been

josh shapiro if they wanted to have a fair shot at it. but the truth of the matter, they were looking at 750,000 uncommitted votes or votes like that across the country that took place. over 100,000 in michigan alone. tim walz said maybe we should not listen to these folks that support to israel and the palestinian folks instead appeared to paid the price for it. have a lot of jewish americans who chose not to vote for the democrats this time around and there was reporting going around saying they would be the most to make most jewish voters since ronald reagan. we sell media groups who have made same steps because enough is enough. they have him playing games far too long. people do not trust the media and the more. we see such a high interest in x to get information through elon musk platform. >> trace: the whole thing you think of elon musk and a huge contribution he made to the campaign. he is one of those guys people

are because he is a visionary, right, people look at him and think elon musk says it so there has got to be something to it because everything the guy does turns to gold. >> he brought back american car companies. you look at the street you see teslas everywhere. i remember with the germans, bmw, better miles tracked. as simple as that in the world is beating a path to his door. unfortunately, trump was able to catch some of that energy, vibe, and run with it. what kamala harris didn't do with separate herself from, you know, trump. look, we are the same as, that, when it comes to military, fracking, and i will run on trump being satan we were not buying it anymore and the public was not buying that anymore. you have to come up with a new stick if you are going to run. the stick has to be substance to policy for josephine when you see dana white up there and you see all these people and think, you know he surrounded himself h

lack of a better trump some bad people. >> that is something we should acknowledge and we should point out kamala harris was a terrible candidate and in relation to vice presidential pick but we should also know and make sure they history records, this is a fantastic campaign by trump and his team broadly speaking. he was amazing. he was a different person and show the sight of himself we hadn't seen in previous campaigns warm, funny more than usual in public and the messaging was incredibly clear and the closing argument kamala broke it and trump fixed it and the garbage truck and all of this test. i think it is important to note because there is a lot of criticism about this. look at the trump campaign outsourcing really important points to get out the vote. look how that turned out and look at johnny cook and his

organization turning point. absolutely essential to chase the bow and big essential to make sure those people who hadn't, low propensity voters wasn't success as well. so all in all an amazing operational test trump time as well as a terrible one on kamala harris. >> trace: i did a segment a couple of weeks ago and what moment do you think donald trump won the presidency? was it that fast or the fries? the fittest in the picture with the blood all over his face and the american flag being 90 amps and the fries out the window with the apron and a whole country is looking at him in the democratic party is looking at him like oh, my god, which is last! >> i think it was her in the first debate that he gave kamala harris to show she was not willing to go through tough interviews and not wil willing, we talked about this before that there was no there there this campaign of joy was really that careless and how wat

going to pay the bills? so i think there was a big turning point early october and we saw with the early though a lack of enthusiasm and steve's point on outsourcing, i think there is a lot of truth that that. it is eight technical point that the democrats have this get out the vote machine and republicans used outsourcing. not only did you see that with groups like elon musk's apparatus, but ralph reed's faith and family. you had one of the faith and freedom organization. they intentionally endorsed and that is extraordinary. i think democrats will look at the technical things at the republicans used, elon musk "faith and freedom efforts and learned some lessons from it. >> trace: it seems to me, libya it came down to enthusiasm and i remember 9/11 this past 9/11 we were singing, joe biden and kamala harris walked into shanksville to a fire station

and people looked at them and they started their conversations again. donald trump walks in two hours later the very same fireplace and the place erupts and you talk about enthusiasm? >> yeah, i was actually there tonight at the convention center. i never felt anything like it. the commitment you see from his base to donald trump is something that is really in parallel and political history. it is so interesting, too, of course, donald trump a billionaire in some ways leading a very different lifestyle than a lot of his supporters is a lot of authenticity and able to connect with people in such a more meaningful way than we saw kamala harris due on the trail. he was continually putting himself in these situations where you can have the special moments. the final days, he was doing as many as four rallies a day. though he put himself out there, a course, one of the things from the sources just how he was able to build this coalition.

one thing i think he did really well the cycle was really expand the tenant. we sell this at the rnc, they were open to anyone who wanted to be a part of what they were doing and he brought in rfk jr., tulsi gabbard and really a new generation of folks who believe in his message. that is why people are heartened by this because it has longevity. >> trace: and he was saying, what do you think about tulsi gabbard as president some day? they are bringing face up like hey, i know i am here but what you think about this? we have time to go around the horn one more time. it seems like former president trump is looking forward. >> it reminds me one thing he said a few days ago joe biden made a garbage, it, you can't lead the american people if you don't love the american people. that is exactly right. donald trump truly loves the country and i don't think anybody will argue against that. any interest means the american.

the democratic elites and their little bubbles the past decade and they don't want to understand the average american voter. he does, he cares, he is fit to lead and that is what the american people decided. >> trace: 30 seconds, jody, your thoughts. >> partly based on that, trump same from early on, i feel your pain. democrats keep going you everything is fine and the economy is great. i know you are suffering and i feel your pain. they show they appreciated somebody feeling the pain at the ballot box. >> they just said no, would assign. stop with the winning. >> exactly, and i think overall the feeling i get as we look at this amazing night, there is a warmth and humanity to what the trump campaign, trump himself, this whole movement is all about. it is real, fnt, practical. >> joy? [laughter] >> it really is. but it is a beautiful, beautiful

thing to see at this result is just making everyone feel so incredibly proud to be anything to do with this incredible movement. >> john. >> as we celebrate this moment with john leaving the republican party but the country as well i'm reminded that we have j.d. vance and i'm excited to see how he will really deploy him because as we know donald trump can only serve four years. so in effect a transitional figure for a new generation of leadership. i'm excited to see what that will look like. >> trace: jillian, 20 seconds now. >> democrats used to be pro-growth economy but changed and now about redistributionist economy on the welfare state and the housing entitlements and this sort of 30 capable loans. democrats were talking about basically buying votes through the antigovernment welfare state. that is not what working-class voters want that they want a president who will protect the economy and grow the economy so they can do it on their own.

>> trace: lydia, 20 seconds. >> one think that is important is the message trump said in his victory speech. a lot of folks one drink will this be an angry speech or dark speech which marked the first thing he said is he wants to heal the nation and so i think this evening where a lot of people are thrilled and a lot of people are upset. they think that is a very hopeful and promising message that he does want to heal any does want to bring the country together. >> trace: thank you all. coming up the liberal media already melting down over trump's big win tonight. we are going to talk about that.

♪ ♪ >> trace: let's check in with the liberal media is saying on

what has to be a tough night for them. let's bringing conservative commentator lisa krause and anna laymen. thank you for coming on, i want to play some sound from joy reid to. and obviously can't wait to get up and watch "the view" in their thing better than watching joy. >> i would like to put this narrative to bed forever. >> you are seeing shifts among latino voters that you are not seeing shifts among black men simply stop saying blackman supporting trump. >> trace: and begs to differ because we saw significant different. how about that that it begs two different and trump and republicans up 25% many counties in georgia and something like 20% in certain counties including wayne county and michigan. this is a big shift and joy reid totally out of touch. she was upset with suburban white women like myself and said

we should have voted for kamala harris because then we could have defeated the patriarchy apparently. >> trace: it is kind of crazy. think the media doesn't relate -- they should shut down all the media outlets for the ny have zero credibility and bacon all powwow to see what kind of credibility they can get ba back. >> absolutely. tonight was not only victory for donald trump at the american public. we have seen record low distress to media. tonight solidified the corporate press no longer sets the narrative. they threw the kitchen sink to donald trump hoax after hoax, petal lies and cushion interviews to kamala harris and did not drag her across the finish line. donald trump redefined the campaign and on podcast and reach young men age 18-22 and elon musk bought twitter and made that defective public square where free speech was pretty simple. >> trace: it is amazing to me

cnn, msnbc, neither have called the race of our. >> and we can point out that democrats need to do an assessment but not to give democrats too much advice not to win going forward but they need to reassess peer to the mainstream media needs to reassess as well because even when they tried to get kamala harris off all interviews, she didn't do great and even when they tried to tell us joe biden was okay and shifted and realized, oh, no, he was not. they were lying to themselves and the american people. they need to get out of their problem maybe they need to go to the rust belt for the bible belt and figure out what is actually happening on the gramps start reporting the truth. >> trace: and they won't and here is why msnbc, they already have a villain in this, and of course, it is not the harris campaign. it is the electoral college. watch. >> i would like to issue an apology to all those states that we have not mentioned. it is not our fault.

it is our founding fathers. they decide this thing on the electoral college, which interesting no other country in the world decided to copy. >> trace: by the way, donald trump appears to be on his path to win the popular vote as well. >> the purpose of the electoral college is so that dates who have regional density did not overtake states. there has to be geographical balance and our founders were federalist and great a federalist system and nobody was going to directly elect the leader. direct their representatives and the funny thing for democrats, they were hoping donald trump donald trump would win electoral college but lose the popular vote but he win both so there is no leg to stand on faith that they had. >> trace: let's play an initial media reaction to the announcement for kamala harris. sit back and watch tv a little bit and maybe take a nap. harris, watch. >> she is a radical war hawk.

let's put her with a night full rifle standing there and see how she feels about it. when the guns are in her face. they went that is the wrong line. do we have the right when? initial media reaction to the announcement, watch. >> we don't have it. >> that clip is an example how the media took something that donald trump was saying, i don't know, i'm old enough to remember cindy sheehan would say on the crawford ranch and liberals were marching while burning effigies have george w. bush in 2004 in manhattan saying oh, no, we should send those politicians who have guns pointed at them and not our boys. he is literally saying what leftist use to defend that light about eight direct threat on liz cheney's life. >> trace: barack obama was doing the same carriage of the former president of the united states was campaigning ag lies. and it is unbelievable.

to you, you have to wonder, it is just starting all over again because they have to come up with a new candidate. they have to come up to keep it seem villain so they have to come up with a new candidate so the media has a lot of work to do. >> the media has a lot to do because they were trying to harvest to drag kamala harris across the finish line in their efforts were not fruitful. they threw everything at donald trump, and it still was not enough. what democrats have to did this time is figure out what went wrong with internal polling and what went wrong with people like jen psaki and joy reid pretending they understand what the average american feels like. they are part of the pc, so they will keep getting it wrong and the american people about the other way. >> i want to play the sound, now just waiting for the blue wall states and watching the mass and conserve their emotional energy, i think.

and so just stay and come back and we will have this whole thing fixed. >> that is what i wanted to tell and pity msnbc panel, just breeds, it will be fine. tomorrow is another day. spin when i have 15 seconds if you have a final comment on this. >> for four years the media has told us if you don't immediately concede the race you are a threat to democracy. i would love to all democrats come out with cnn and msnbc. spam and i cannot wait, but thank you trump performing well. he is doing well with black and latino voters. we will dig into the numbers next.

♪ ♪ >> trace: continuing our coverage of election '24. let's check on the latest reports and the balance of power in congress. senior national correspondent, kevin corke, live in d.c. >> we are having fun in the studio because we love to talk about how we predict that things would go how they ultimately turned out. i want to take you back to the senate very quickly. yes, we know republicans will have control of the senate, and only a matter how i how much, 54, 55, 52 but i didn't want to

mention into the night they were talking about senator ted cruz and willie have a chance to win? a tight race but colin allred not so much. every six years we talk about this, in every six years ted cruz comes away with another comfortable victory this time 54 and makes his way in a nice hole for the republicans but i want to take it to the house because more interesting. as you know 218 is what you need for the majority. keep in mind the republicans that a majority of 223 coming into tonight. now, 195 is where they stand right now. very interesting race to watch through the night and into tomorrow. i want you to go to the golden state and california all blue all the time. not so much. let me take you to the third year coach a very race, kevin will come away but that before and a very sharp guy 56% and stl too soon to call they say and he will ultimately win.

take it to the ninth i mentioned how tight race is rn california kevin lincoln had a dog fight with josh, 56% and too close to call into soon to call and you never know how that would turn out. that would be a big win for the g.o.p. is able to manage it. the 13th, emigre again, how tight those margins are, trace. people think california it is going to be a bl blue wave. but 49%, too soon to call that will position as well. this is indicative, what we are seeing around the country right down the middle races and it could be another 220-221 or two i can tell you quickly, we have seen three blips on the democrat so far and four clips by the republicans. we will see if they end up over 220. if that happens, a clean sweep for the g.o.p. tonight.

>> trace: you know what they say in california, the ocean is blue for miles and the land is blue for a few miles when california gets very red. as you go further. >> divide the state north and south give me a new state, the state of jefferson. can you do that eastern california? >> trace: jefferson, california. both campaigns prioritize to minority voters in the presidential race. fox news political analyst caldwell, pastor lorenzo sewall 100 director gina korn, thank you for coming on. fox news voter analysis in preference among black voters harris 81% and trump 15% but still working on the numbers >> certainly and when i think about georgia, 30% of electorate there is black and kamala harris has done worse than joe biden

did at that particular time. we know donald trump speak to issues black voters are concerned with the economy and immigration, in places like chicago and los angeles being another of those places. instead of pandoring, he talked about issues and policies and getting things back on track and black voters recognize what four years look like under trump and they gave him support. this will continue if republican party continues to target those voters. trans >> what was tonight like when you saw what you saw, what is your reaction? >> i'm holy ghost happy to see donald trump be the 47th president. we have an opportunity to double

that. we have 1000 majority black communities that have earmarked federal funding and donald trump can make sure resources get to poor black communities and we can give a hand-up, not a h handout. >> trace: they just like everybody else in america, they welcome and want migrants to come to this country, they want people to come in legally. they want everybody to come legally. they don't want people skimming in, it is dangerous. >> that is right and holy walk gu guacamole, president trump on tap to get 45% of the latino

vote. biden got 58%, trump and harris are neck and neck and in california, fresno valley, trump is ahead with the latino vote. we're going to see this sweep. we are not monolithic and care about the economy, secure border just like every other american. >> trace: this is voter analysis in north carolina among black voters, harris 81% and trump 19% there. that is kind of different. as you move across the country, you have different numbers in different states. it is interesting, some states bought in heavily to the vice

president. >> when you tell your family you're conservative, you of oftentimes guest oftstracized. many have woken up to the truth within the democratic party, neigh neighborhoods, communities and it is time for a change. that message has been sent to the democratic party loud and clear. republicans have to continue to target. >> trace: you are huge when it comes to crime, that is your passion. you talk to voters in california, black voters feel like their town is being ruined because of crime there. yes, they don't want crime. in chicago, they do not want crime and crime is all around them. >> absolutely, i start ed the

caldwell institute, cal caldwellinstitute.org, visit us. they have called criminal justice reform, which is for the criminal. police can't chase you without calling a supersupervisor. ankles monitors have been shown to be manipulated. this is unacceptable. we need law and order in this country and for everyone. >> i'm sure you have people in your congregation saying, we need a remedy to this, it is destroying our kourp and we need to get together and figure out the fix. >> trace, greatest funder of crime is poverty.

when people don't see an opportunity to economical ly advance, they lead to crime. through hud and cra funding and community block grants, earmarked resources president trump can now go to work and we've hired great employee, we'll put him to work to make sure black america can be great again. >> trace: in 2020, there was team about miami dade and cuban americans going toward trump and parts of texas, latinos were going and now you think total movement of latinos migrating toward the former president and current president and future

president. >> the crowd was electric, a diverse crowd. he's built the best coalition of african americans, latinos, independents, arab americans, you saw that in michigan, with two mayors endorsing president trump. we've been given this mantel and the president spoke to the forgotten man and woman and that includes latinos and they'll be there with him. he will welcome them to the white house again and we'll work on great issues like economy, border and crime and make america great again. >> trace: thank you all, coming up, digging into election results in california. all-star panel is on set. and by the way, chef andrew g gr gruel brought goodies with him

and he'll be in.

what if your mobile network wasn't just built to work out here... ...but was designed differently to also give you blazing fast wifi where you are most of the time? reliable 5g, plus wifi speeds up to a gig where you need it most. xfinity mobile. now xfinity internet customers can buy one line of unlimited and get one free for a year. >> trace: focus on california now with peachy keenan, one of america's great doctors, houman

hemmati, criminal defense attorney along with restaurant owner and chef andrew gruel. thank you for coming on. proposition 36 in california, which is revision of proposition 47, passed today, big news there. nathan hockman appears to have defeated george gascon. looks like crime goes away? >> prop 47 passed 10 years ago, people thought american and california was asleep behind the wheel causing felonies to become mechanics, a slap on the wrist, no need for treatment. what happened since, escalation of crime, gateway drugs hurting

the economy. no more. prop 47, we want strict punishment for those who are recidivists. there has to be a hammer. inter interestingly enough, same percentage went to defeat george gascon, a clear message no matter where you come from or want to go, high priority. >> trace: dr. hemmati, we've been talking about having a safe area, you have to be willing to put people in jail. >> public safety requires laws and prosecutors to prosecute people and prisons in which to put them. gavin newsom is closing prisons down, converts san quinsten int

a resort for kwinls. with george gascon gone, new era in los angeles. >> trace: kamala harris was behind proposition 47 and would not declare how she got behind proposition 36. don't get peachy keenan started. this was a big defeat tonight. >> it was fun watching their joy turn into oie. this was hard fought for 14 years. she is one author of destruction, top official, senator and d.a. she was going to do to the country what she did to california. we all dodged a bullet. >> trace: do you agree, chef? a lot of people are like, yep, that is good what happened tonight. >> look at numbers, this was

referendum on insanity. you don't want this. this is huge for restaurant industry, number one, trade, bring american products back home, bring down price of cost of goods and energy prices will go down. get chemicals out of the food. trump is being put back in the chair and it will help so many different industries, specifically the restaurant industry. >> trace: i wonder if you see things in california because of the trump win tonight, you see things maybe moving farther to the right, closer to the middle, do you see that from a legal perspective? >> from a cup of coffee in the morning to midnight conversation with a client or colleague, the

answer is yes. we want affordable housing. not in our backyard. same message sent today. it sounds good to allow everyone into the country, when it affects me, that is not something we're going to do. >> talking to politicians and average joe on the street like you and i, there is fear in california which is causing people to vote for strict law enforcement and common sense and the answer is yes, it is more conservative vote. people are not concerned about it anymore. we have been ledz to believe we can't express ourselves, there is elephant in the room that intimidates us. that is out the window, we can

freely exercise our rights. >> trace: there is good merch for that. dr. hemmati we talk about different things, gavin newsom, do you think this ends kamala harris' political future and does gavin newsom have a political future maybe on national stage? >> this is interesting, i posted something before we went live about gavin newsom and this creates for him to run in 2028 and i got negative comments, people saying he's dead, he's done, after we saw what happened to kamala harris and california to all these different regulation and people being tossed out, gavin newsom is done. it is gone. as movement and concept, a

arrogance, smugness, idea state and governor know better than other people and rules for the, not for me, people don't want anymore and he probably has no political future. >> trace: donald trump won, kamala harris lost and your favorite person to write about goes away. do you need new subjects? does it change your style, your approach or is this something beneficial to you? >> can i just enjoy this moment? a great night. i think she will have to crawl back to her enclave back in br brentwood and hopefully go into exile. i wish her a productive life, staying out of politics is my wish for her. >> trace: do you really think she's done? >> my guess is no, i think she

will run for governor. i hope elon musk beats her to it. great silver lining. her campaign offered nothing to huge demographic of women and californians who are mothers. her campaign did not speak to me or represent me or women who have mothers in california. she offered nothing to us. she deserves everything she got. >> trace: chef, same thing, you're constantly looking out for your livelihood and i think this changes, this changes because it gives you one more avenue to be able to say look, we can change this, we can do this. maybe democratic party is not as strong as they were to put their thumb on the scale of your business and mine and dr. hemmati's and vic's.

>> 100%, i have faith with peep and he will my kufter ms. they are smart and you can't pull the wool over their eyes. this is exhibition of that. american people realize, we don't want this and we see the lies now. lies are on the table, people saw them and reacted to emthem. >> trace: best takeaway of the night? >> the takeaway is our liberties are restored, we have ability, con conf confidencewithout this hand controlling oufr movement. power has been put back to the people. >> i think impact of bobby kennedy on trump's win and coalition he has moving forward to governor has been un

underestimated and we're looking at health and trump needs a good possible health team and i'm always happy to help out. >> women are not single-issue voters and abortion can only get you so far so long. >> chef. >> food is everything. i'm pumped about that. >> trace: thank you for watching our special election coverage, "fox and friends" up next issue i'm trace gallagher, see you back here tonight. has no idea she's sitting on a goldmine. well she doesn't know that if she owns a life insurance policy of $100,000 or more she can sell all or part of it to coventry for cash. even a term policy. even a term policy? even a term policy! find out if you're sitting on a goldmine. call coventry direct today at the number on your screen, or visit coventrydirect.com.
