State officials from both parties in New Hampshire are ready to go to war
with the Democratic National Committee over its election related changes.
This story is out of control, and it gives you a sense
of just how far the DNC is willing to go in order to give their preferred candidate
an upper hand in the general election.
And so the DNC wants New Hampshire's primary to take place
after South Carolina's and lawmakers in New Hampshire absolutely reject the idea,
and they're insisting to basically do as they usually do.
They insist to hold their primary elections first.
And things have gotten so heated that the DNC has now called
New Hampshire's primary. Literally, they said this meaningless.
They called it meaningless.
And the New Hampshire attorney general has even filed a cease and desist order
against the DNC.
That's how heated this is getting.
So here's how the situation came to be in late 2022.
The white House had proposed a change to the presidential primary calendar.
So let's put this graphic up.
It'll show you what the changes would look like.
So the normal order of state primaries go like this first Iowa, second New
Hampshire, third South Carolina. Well, the white House is proposal.
And what the DNC is trying to carry out is to have South Carolina go first,
new Hampshire goes second.
And then you probably notice that Iowa isn't even listed as third,
because Iowa would basically be jettisoned from the early voting states.
Now, here's why the white House, and by extension, the DNC,
claims they wanted to switch the order.
And look, before I even read you the statement, let me just note I find
this statement unacceptable, okay?
Because this isn't really what's motivating it.
And I'll explain why in a moment. But even if this were the real reason.
I just don't think this is a good reason to switch the order of the states.
So the DNC swiftly codified Biden's wishes, saying they were necessary
to give voters of color a greater voice in the process.
Okay. Let's pause.
Listen, we live in a country that has an awful history when it comes
to the treatment of people of color, being able to exercise their ability to vote.
The idea that you should now give any group an upper hand in the
electoral process, I think, is ridiculous.
Every American who is of voting age and is an eligible voter
should be treated the same.
No one should get an advantage over anyone else.
I don't care about race, don't care about gender, don't care about sexual identity
or I, you know, affiliation.
I just think that this reasoning, even though this isn't the real motivation,
is what leads to division in the country.
And Democrats always lean to this, and they don't realize how toxic it ends
up being for, you know, greater society.
So they say.
The DNC swiftly codified Biden's wishes, saying they were necessary to give voters
of color a greater voice in the process.
Though many noted that Biden happened to win South Carolina in 2020 while he
lost Iowa, he came fourth place in New Hampshire and fifth place that year.
So the second half of that is really what's motivating the Biden White House
and by extension of that, the DNC to try to change the order of the states.
It's not really about giving people of color a greater voice in our elections.
I mean, they always lean into identity politics as their excuse for doing
all sorts of insidious things.
In reality, this is about giving Biden needed momentum in the primary process.
And honestly, that reasoning that they gave about people of color,
I think was incredibly fishy.
So here's some more details about the 2020 Democratic primary and like how they
turned out, because I think that'll also kind of give you the context necessary
to understand the real motivating factors behind Biden and the DNC.
So, for instance, in Iowa in 2020, Biden did not win that primary.
So Pete Buttigieg and Bernie Sanders were neck and neck, and Bernie ended up
winning the popular vote.
But Buttigieg was ultimately awarded two more delegates.
That was a whole debacle.
Go back, you know, for years to watch our video content on that.
Then you had New Hampshire. Okay.
So it was another close race, but it was a close race between Bernie and Buttigieg.
Bernie got the most votes.
But the two actually got an equal share of delegates.
Klobuchar got six delegates, delegates in the state of New Hampshire, and was the
last candidate to be awarded any Biden.
Was fifth in the popular vote in New Hampshire.
So can you understand why Biden wouldn't want New Hampshire
to be first in the primary elections?
But South Carolina was a little different, little different.
And South Carolina is the state that Biden would like to be first
in the primary elections, Biden, easily won the state with nearly 50% of the vote.
Bernie came in second place with almost 20% of the vote.
And so, again, what Biden wants to do is front load the states where he's likely
to do well in the primary elections.
But since New Hampshire didn't agree to this, well, Biden's not even going
to appear on New Hampshire's ballot.
That's how insane this is.
So look, with all of this in mind, it's easy to understand
why New Hampshire officials did not buy the DNC's bogus identity politics excuse.
New Hampshire Secretary of state a Republican set the primaries
date for January 23rd, knowing it would be out of compliance with DNC rules, and the
DNC declared the primary invalid and warned the state would lose its delegates
to the Democratic National Convention.
But New Hampshire is like, no, we will persist, and they've chosen to do so.
They cited state law that requires New Hampshire to hold a primary
at least a week before any other state.
And so the DNC has continued to lash out against New Hampshire.
Just last Friday, the DNC sent a stunning letter to the chairman
of the New Hampshire Democratic Party.
His name is Ray Buckley. And here's an excerpt of what they wrote.
As you are aware, the Rules and Bylaws Committee deemed the New Hampshire
Democratic Party's plan non-compliant.
On December 1st of 2023, the New Hampshire Democratic Party must take steps to
educate the public that January 23rd is a non-binding presidential preference event
and is meaningless, and the DNVp and the presidential candidate should take
all steps possible not to participate.
This is the party that is running a candidate whose entire campaign platform
is about saving democracy.
Just let that sink in for a second.
Okay, so again, the DNC told New Hampshire officials
that they need to bury their own primary.
And not only that, they also stated that if they do not move the date
of the primary to what the DNC prefers, the state's delegates
will not be awarded to New Hampshire.
But the DNC is also failing to intimidate them.
And I love to see this.
Okay, this conflict has united both parties in the state of New Hampshire,
with Republican Secretary of State and the attorney general
coming to Buckley's defense.
Just yesterday, the state attorney General's office also filed filed a cease
and desist order directed at the DNC.
The the office also wrote in a letter to the organization
accusing it of illegal voter suppression.
Again, this is the party that claims they're trying to protect democracy.
Telling any person qualified to register to vote or vote in New Hampshire
that the January 23rd, 2024 New Hampshire Democratic presidential primary election
is meaningless constitutes an attempt to prevent or deter New Hampshire voters
from participating in the primary.
And look, as we know, the Democratic Party doesn't want to allow primaries
to even happen, right?
They've got their 81 year old incumbent president, and they feel that he
is entitled to winning the nomination.
And they know how deeply unpopular Biden is.
Biden is incredibly low in approval ratings.
And so in order to prevent any possibility of Biden losing the primary elections,
they're just not allowing primaries to take place.
No primary debates on the Democratic side, the state of Florida, along with
a few other states, have decided we're just not going to hold primaries.
It's insane. Absolutely insane.
So what happens now?
Well, Biden has refrained from putting his name on this whole New
Hampshire primary debacle.
And according to Politico, Biden allies are working on a write
in campaign for him in the state.
Because all of these, you know, chaotic moves and all of this conflict, again,
has led to a situation in which Biden won't even appear on the ballot.
Meanwhile, New Hampshire officials are showing no sign of moving their primary.
They do intend to allow this primary to take place on January 23rd,
and it remains to be seen what the DNC will do in response to that.
But even if the DNC does allow the delegates to be awarded, none of them will
be allowed to go to presidential candidate John Cougar, because the state has
completely excluded him from the ballot.
And so, we'll see how this all plays out.
I think that these moves that the DNC tends to engage in
during primary elections does not speak well of the Democratic Party.
And I think it is particularly toxic for the Democratic Party when they are trying
to run Joe Biden again, a candidate who is going to base almost the entirety
of his reelection campaign on Trump.
Bad democracy important. We must protect democracy.
I don't know if Trump is going to be savvy enough to see what's currently transpiring
with the DNC and use that to his advantage to basically squash the allegations
of, you know, Trump being anti-democratic.
But he'd be smart if he did use this to his advantage.
And to know that the Democratic candidate here, Joe Biden, has that vulnerability
is yet another cause for concern.
He's got low approval ratings, okay.
He's got this vulnerability with the DNC basically carrying out his wishes and
trying to screw around with the primaries in order to give him an advantage.
You've got the ongoing migrant crisis, which we're going
to talk about a little later.
The fact that Republicans don't want to do anything about it because they know
that it is, in fact, hurting Joe Biden and his chances of getting reelected.
I mean, the list goes on and on.
And as Democrats like to celebrate the fact that inflation has slowed down a bit,
remember, inflation has only slowed down a bit recently.
Inflation increased the baseline cost of goods that we need on a daily basis
that didn't go down, and that very likely will never go down.
It's just that inflation in recent months has slowed down from, you know, 7%, 9% to
3%. But again, that baseline is up there and it's still crushing a lot of Americans
and a lot of Americans feel frustrated about their economic situation.
All of these things really do combine to make Biden a vulnerable candidate,
but he's being forced upon American voters, Democratic voters
in particular, obviously.
And, if Trump really is a threat to America.
In our democratic process.
Well, the DNC and Joe Biden have a funny way of showing it.
