Larry Elder the conservative
candidate hoping to replace
democratic governor Gavin Newsom in
California, of course lost
the recall election, but
some of his supporters are having
a difficult time accepting reality.
They're still dwelling in
the copium den.
And maybe we should take a look at
what's happening.
>> The pullback is completely off.
>> Who was a pullback?
My goodness!
All the networks!
>> Dumps.
They call them dumps,
big massive dumps.
[MUSIC]
>> Gavin Newsom won the ability
to remain in his position
of power in California.
64% as of right now,
64% of the vote indicated that they
want him to remain governor for
the remainder of his term, okay?
But OANN is not accepting that.
So Larry Elder to his credit,
we were a little worried he
wouldn't do this, conceded on
the night of the election.
He conceded that he had lost and
his supporters like it, but
he's like,
let's be gracious about this.
So all right, okay, Larry,
I see you.
You did the right thing, but
OANN and is not accepting it, okay?
So here's how they reported on
the issue.
Even after Larry Elder had
conceded.
>> Larry Elder takes a moment
during election night to talk to
those who supported him in
the recall effort.
Here's one
America's Thomas McGrath.
>> We may have lost the battle but
we are going to win the war.
>> Republican Gubernatorial
Candidate Larry Elder speaks to his
supporters in Costa Mesa,
California.
The talk show host made his
announcement after a majority of
precincts had reported their
results on Tuesday night.
Elder made it clear the fight was
far from over.
>> Did he know?
Did he make it clear
that the fight is far from over?
Because he said, I lost.
This is my concession.
Let's be gracious about this.
He did not say that the fight
is what?
Anyway, I just love like the pretty
little stories that they tell
themselves to feel better about
the fact that they lost and
they lost big time.
>> Well, they've basically made
the strategic decision over
the years as far as the right wing
media, basically Fox or
OANN types or any of
the various fever swamps all over
the Internet that any democratic
electoral victory is legitimate.
And so therefore any democratic
government is legitimate.
The election can't be real.
The votes had to be fake anytime
a Democrat wins no matter where
even in a freaking state,
as blue as California,
they can't accept that a Democrat
would actually win something
legitimate anywhere, it's insane
>> Registered Democratic voters in
the state of California out number
registered Republican voters 2-1.
And I'm actually kind of like I
thinking back I was in high school
so I don't remember all the details
of the recall election where
Gray Davis lost and
Arnold Schwarzenegger became
the new governor because Gray Davis
lost the recall election.
That was actually pretty shocking,
like now that I think about it
considering how blue California
happens to be.
But look, I mean, nonetheless,
the Gavin Newsome campaign did
a really good job in turning out
the vote.
So maybe the ground game wasn't so
great with Gray Davis.
I think it was Gray Davis, right?
I think I got that right anyway,
who cares?
But my point is, yeah, they're just
so detached from reality.
And I get why OANN does it, right?
So I think part of it is to cope,
but I think a bigger part of it is.
Is the audience going to take it?
Well if they actually report
the truth to them, I mean,
people have gotten to a point where
they specifically turned to sources
that will tell them everything
they want to hear, right?
And then the second you say
something that they don't
want to hear.
There's backlash.
There's fury.
There's rage.
I mean, look at what happened with
Fox News when they just reported
the truth about the 2020 election.
They're like, Donald Trump lost and
Joe Biden's going to be the new
president.
And the audience lost it,
they just totally lost it.
We hate Fox News.
It's not right wing enough.
It's all about News Max and
OANN now.
So obviously the real consequences
of that because people are in these
like filter bubbles and
these alternate realities.
And I think that's part of it.
That's a huge part of the reason
why we're so divided.
Everyone's just kind of like
accepting what they want to accept
and rejecting anything that goes
against what they want to hear
>> That's right wing, their leaders
don't want to sell them on anything
other than grievance and basically
you're being screwed by the lives
and trends in Mexicans etc.
They have nothing else to sell them
on basically everything political
is already been settled, right?
Our overlords already owners, own
everything hoard all the resources.
They've won everything,
they deregulated it to crap.
They have nothing else to win,
right?
And so the only thing they craved
is power itself and how they
maintain that is by feeding these
people this kind of crap.
It's- >> Yeah. >> It's
sad honestly,
>> And it encourages them to like,
proudly post their Ls, right?
[LAUGH] >> So I'll give you
an example.
We have this gentleman who was
working, at the polls in
West Hollywood just yesterday
during the recall election.
And he was wearing a Trump hat and
a bright red shirt that says wears
hunter.
And by the way,
it's a polling station.
You're not supposed to wear
political garb like that.
So he was let go.
[LAUGH] He wasn't allowed to
continue being a poll worker that
day, in West Hollywood, California
of all places, which is not
a conservative part of LA County by
any stretch of the imagination.
But, I mean,
it would be like me well I guess I
would wear Bernie shirt.
Never mind.
[LAUGH] >> Bernie?
I don't know take it sort of yeah.
>> [LAUGH] You knows about
the West Hollywood is if he would
have did that in Glendale,
I think he would have got some
high fives like, hey you go ahead,
brother represent the father,
Donald Trump for us, please.
They are doing that in West
Hollywood is just I don't know.
It's just a god begging for
attention, which I think quite
frankly people should have gave
them point and laugh, my loser,
you lost.
You got your butts whipped last
November and you're still crying
about it because you're a bunch of
cry baby whiny toddlers.
I was a bread I watched myself
as British rock editing great.
>> My gosh.
All right well, too much copy,
I'm dead for me.
Let we're moving out of it out.
Out.
