Speaker 1: I came to a realization yesterday when I was putting show.
Speaker 1: I was trying to put show prep together, and I
Speaker 1: just texted Ross and I'm like, this is dumb trying
Speaker 1: to do this right now. So then you stay up
Speaker 1: way too late, you watch way too many absolutely distraught people,
Speaker 1: You get up way too early, start reading, you become
Speaker 1: actually concerned about some people who are openly talking about
Speaker 1: self harm and things like that. And that's the tragedy
Speaker 1: of all of this. But the root of the tragedy
Speaker 1: of all of this is also being demonstrated by a
Speaker 1: big chunk.
Speaker 2: Of the media right now.
Speaker 1: Where I think the strategy and I'm not sure. I'd
Speaker 1: have to remember back to when I was a wei one.
Speaker 3: The the.
Speaker 1: Idea that if you don't acknowledge it, it's not real,
Speaker 1: right or you the kid with your hands over your eyes,
Speaker 1: and that seeps into the populace man, and I look,
Speaker 1: I don't know who's trolling when they post stuff like that,
Speaker 1: and who's serious, But you were, you were misled, or
Speaker 1: your expectations were not properly tempered, I guess would be
Speaker 1: the way to say, nobody knows, nobody knows you think
Speaker 1: you know, you think twenty sixteen Hillary Clinton, you think,
Speaker 1: you know, and arguably maybe they were. They were less
Speaker 1: misled this time. But like I'm seeing local TV stations.
Speaker 1: In fact, let me just make sure this is one
Speaker 1: thousand percent accurate.
Speaker 2: It was about twenty minutes ago, you head on OVA.
Speaker 2: They have changed it. Okay.
Speaker 1: So in the five o'clock hour this morning, I was
Speaker 1: on w r L site and they had not called
Speaker 1: the race for Trump or we're not reporting that they
Speaker 1: were saying. In fact, they had a I should have screenshot.
Speaker 1: They had a headline about how a couple of counties
Speaker 1: in Michigan could still and then they called Michigan Wisconsin,
Speaker 1: excuse me, and then they called Wisconsin. The problem is, uh,
Speaker 1: like with r E L there, NBC right, NBC called it.
Speaker 1: They had already called it, man, So forgive me if
Speaker 1: I don't fully understand the uh the you know, the
Speaker 1: the the strategy there, so to speak.
Speaker 2: But yeah, ross, what how many hours sleep you're working on?
Speaker 4: Buddy?
Speaker 2: I saw you were tweeting like three hours ago, so
Speaker 2: that's it.
Speaker 4: Couldn't go to bed?
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean, I mean it's.
Speaker 4: Just a it's a it's a beautiful morning in America,
Speaker 4: it is, Oh okay, it is And we talked to
Speaker 4: Race Day. Yeah, you're right, they were last night. First off,
Speaker 4: the speed between the networks compared to like X or Twitter, right,
Speaker 4: there's no comparison there. And you realize why a lot
Speaker 4: of the networks now are completely irrelevant because you would
Speaker 4: have a state called either by this is Decision as
Speaker 4: HQ or the even the EP or whatever, and you
Speaker 4: would see it on TV maybe thirty forty minutes later.
Speaker 4: But then when it came, when it started like being
Speaker 4: obvious what was happening, and you saw the breakdown of
Speaker 4: the anchors uh on n NBC or MSNBC, like Chuck Todt.
Speaker 4: I was watching him and he looked like I was
Speaker 4: going to have like a like a fit. He was pale,
Speaker 4: he couldn't talk right, he was sort of shaken. When
Speaker 4: that started happening, they started slow rolling these states. They
Speaker 4: did not want to call these states, and it seemed
Speaker 4: very very like I'm not gonna do it, not gonna
Speaker 4: do it.
Speaker 2: No, Yeah, it's not real if you don't do it right. Yeah, yeah, dude.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna need you to real quick do something because
Speaker 1: I I don't have a TV in my Greensboro studio here,
Speaker 1: which is really weird. Actually, now that I think about it,
Speaker 1: can we do a welfare check on Joe and Mika?
Speaker 4: The view today is going to be amazing.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Oh, don't make me want to watch the view?
Speaker 2: Oh make me?
Speaker 1: And you know and Trump she got she got Cleveland
Speaker 1: steamrolled is the term I was working on this morning
Speaker 1: for what just happened to Kamala Harris. What do you
Speaker 1: think I feel like that? That'll be there by the
Speaker 1: way I'm looking at her. It was just getting the
Speaker 1: button bar while you were talking. Where is her concession speech?
Speaker 1: Where on the is it? What color is it?
Speaker 4: Are you sitting? Are you sitting down?
Speaker 5: I am?
Speaker 2: I am physically seated.
Speaker 4: Yes, amazingly. The the brat woman boss rat summer. Yeah,
Speaker 4: the brat ladies sent the man out to do her
Speaker 4: job at the end because she couldn't do it well.
Speaker 2: To be fair, she ordered a man to do it.
Speaker 2: So that's empowering, right.
Speaker 4: I don't know, man, except when I'm doing this.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: What other is that angle as well? Yeah? Did these
Speaker 2: similarities in the last I tweeted this the other day
Speaker 2: when I saw that Lady Gaga was going to be
Speaker 2: up in Pennsylvania with her for her last UH speech,
Speaker 2: Eve's speech.
Speaker 1: If you don't remember, If you don't remember, I'm happy
Speaker 1: to remind you the very last rally that Hillary Clinton
Speaker 1: did in twenty sixteen was with Lady Gaga. It was
Speaker 1: in North Carolina, was actually at the NC State University.
Speaker 1: That was where she chose to do her final rally. Now, granted,
Speaker 1: Harris did it in Pennsylvania, but she also brought Lady
Speaker 1: Gaga in and then got together, you know, at campaign
Speaker 1: HQ for the watch party. And then as things quickly
Speaker 1: began to come into focus, you you, it turned to.
Speaker 2: A wake what are they telling you?
Speaker 6: Yeah, Jake, let me just give you a gut check out.
Speaker 6: And then this is what we are hearing here as
Speaker 6: we've been sitting here reporting from the Harris headquarters. And
Speaker 6: I think the operative word right now is silence. There's
Speaker 6: not a lot being said because the Harris team appears
Speaker 6: to be searching for bright spots in the map as
Speaker 6: these results very very.
Speaker 1: Soloh yeah, so well now there, so they're not talking
Speaker 1: to them. Hillary Clinton's campaign stopped fielding media inquiries about
Speaker 1: an hour forty five minutes to an hour prior to
Speaker 1: them coming out and telling everyone to go home. If
Speaker 1: you remember, and I'm and.
Speaker 2: Like it's it's all. It all played out exactly the same,
Speaker 2: still out there.
Speaker 7: No plans for any concession, certainly at this point, but
Speaker 7: I can't tell you. In conversations we've had with a
Speaker 7: series of individuals, including a Democrat who was attending a
Speaker 7: donor event that was taking place at one of the
Speaker 7: glitzy hotels not far from where we are here in Washington, DC,
Speaker 7: they say the atmosphere there was like a funeral. Another
Speaker 7: person said that the situation, in their words, was just
Speaker 7: quote not good.
Speaker 4: Right now.
Speaker 1: You know why that, You know why that party with
Speaker 1: your biggest donors was like a funeral because they just
Speaker 1: did the thing the Joker did, maybe not as dramatically,
Speaker 1: but pretty close. Just did the thing the Joker did.
Speaker 1: Get that big old pile of money, slide it on
Speaker 1: fire man. And then, as Ross pointed out, we do this.
Speaker 8: We still have votes to count, We still have states
Speaker 8: that have not been called yet. We will continue overnight
Speaker 8: to fight to make sure that every vote is counted,
Speaker 8: that every voice has foken. So you won't hear from
Speaker 8: the Vice president tonight.
Speaker 1: I want you, guys, to recognize something from an audio perspective.
Speaker 1: I'm going to nerd out on you a little, and
Speaker 1: especially towards you get to the end, I want you
Speaker 1: to listen to the reverberation of his voice, the echo
Speaker 1: of his voice, which is not a thing that happens
Speaker 1: in a room like that usually because it's filled with people.
Speaker 1: But also there's murmuring, there's people shuffling around. So when
Speaker 1: you're hearing clear levels of echo, it is dead silent,
Speaker 1: it is not full. It is you're essentially speaking to yourself.
Speaker 8: We still have votes to count, We still have states
Speaker 8: that have not been called yet. We will continue overnight
Speaker 8: to fight to make sure that every vote is counted,
Speaker 8: that every vote, so you won't hear from the vice president.
Speaker 1: Okay, So that's where we are, and for the first
Speaker 1: the first or the second time, but the first since
Speaker 1: the first time a president has had non a president
Speaker 1: will have non consecutive terms, I e. Grover Cleveland, which
Speaker 1: is why I'm calling her getting Cleveland steamrolled because I'm
Speaker 1: four as well.
Speaker 2: But that was that man.
Speaker 1: Now that doesn't mean in North Carolina there weren't wins
Speaker 1: for the Democrats.
Speaker 2: And we will talk about that.
Speaker 1: Wins for the Republicans, wins for the Democrats, But as
Speaker 1: far as the country goes, it really quickly became not
Speaker 1: the most worrisome or contentious race. Do you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying for either side? Because you basically in your
Speaker 1: mind you knew what was up unless you're truly I
Speaker 1: guess a believer. So anyway, what what a what a
Speaker 1: what a night?
Speaker 2: Man? So an away?
Speaker 1: Did Marky stay up with you or she just like,
Speaker 1: uh get into his own devices.
Speaker 4: She passed out. I want to say around like ten, Okay.
Speaker 1: We're gonna we're gonna get into all this. Uh we
Speaker 1: got uh, we got Van Jones. Goodness, Hey, do me
Speaker 1: a fair put the Hugh Hewitt cut back up, because
Speaker 1: that's the same dude next to Kate part there.
Speaker 2: That's the same dude. And I'm so happy we get
Speaker 2: to play these two together.
Speaker 1: Oh, we got some really good stuff for you, and uh,
Speaker 1: we'd like to hear from you absolutely. What'd you do
Speaker 1: to a watch party? I went to some watch parties.
Speaker 1: I'll fill you in on how that went. Most of
Speaker 1: it really good, most of it really good. But man,
Speaker 1: there's some weird, weird folk out there. But we'll look.
Speaker 2: How are you feeling this morning? I?
Speaker 1: Uh on, on the way into the radio station here,
Speaker 1: I stopped to get a basically a fruit cup thing.
Speaker 2: Yes, I know, I'd much.
Speaker 1: Rather have a big greasy biscoville thing, but be a
Speaker 1: little responsible because I ate a bunch of barbecue last
Speaker 1: night and there were fire There were some firefighters where
Speaker 1: I stopped, and they saw the station vehicle ross and
Speaker 1: I got a fist pump from firefighters this morning. So
Speaker 1: good on you guys. Hey, you guys look bored. You
Speaker 1: want me to go? You want you want me to
Speaker 1: have ross arse at something? It's like maybe at the
Speaker 1: next break. No, okay, all right, probably probably might not.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll get into this the audio your calls
Speaker 1: eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four
Speaker 1: back in just a few, that's right, Nope, okay, well
Speaker 1: you all can understand me, so we'll we'll rock it
Speaker 1: out from here. Maybe let me take it down just
Speaker 1: a notch there and see if that helps.
Speaker 2: Do do do do do.
Speaker 1: All right, less muffled but not as loud. Right, all right, right,
Speaker 1: there we go. Well you know what, we'll just work
Speaker 1: on that. So uh yeah, yeah, yesterday yesterday. It was
Speaker 1: an interesting day. So I, as you know, I'm I'm
Speaker 1: broadcasting in the Triad all this week, doing a thing
Speaker 1: here with my super compressed microphone, and so I thought,
Speaker 1: I don't normally do it, just because you know, we
Speaker 1: work early. But I I thought I'm gonna swing by
Speaker 1: a couple of the watch parties around the Triad, and
Speaker 1: I reached out to a couple people kind of let
Speaker 1: me know what was up because I was having trouble
Speaker 1: figured out where everything was. And so pop over, I
Speaker 1: get to, I get I go to I go to
Speaker 1: one and I'm kind of I think I'm early because
Speaker 1: they told me it started at one time and it
Speaker 1: started a half hour later. But there are people there,
Speaker 1: and I'm just conversing with some folks and we're talking
Speaker 1: about the bomb threats in Georgia, right, what's up with that?
Speaker 1: Is it Russia? That kind of stuff, because everything's Russia?
Speaker 1: And I think we're talking about the bacon thing yesterday
Speaker 1: and they had a one of the TV stations had sent,
Speaker 1: you know, a little basically a b roll film crew,
Speaker 1: and I chatted with them for a few minutes. Nice,
Speaker 1: nice enough folks, very you know, very you could tell
Speaker 1: that they're very early in their careers because they're getting
Speaker 1: the go do the b roll over at the GP
Speaker 1: watch party.
Speaker 2: But hey, that's what you do in this business. You
Speaker 2: cut your teeth, man.
Speaker 1: And and then so I'm I'm over talking to this
Speaker 1: one table and this guy comes over and he go,
Speaker 1: hey can I can I talk to you real quick?
Speaker 1: And I thought he either was, you know, longtime listener,
Speaker 1: glad to meet you, which is the normal, Okay, hey
Speaker 1: can I get a picture?
Speaker 2: Things like that? I hate photos, but whatever.
Speaker 9: And.
Speaker 1: He was like he he was upset because I didn't
Speaker 1: identify myself as a member of the media.
Speaker 2: Ross.
Speaker 1: What is on our are black pullovers? What is on
Speaker 1: gud You got one? We all have one.
Speaker 4: I've never worn it though yet. It's the iHeartMedia logo.
Speaker 2: And it's tiny, right, it's really tiny. You can barely
Speaker 2: see either.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Now I introduced myself with my name, They introduced
Speaker 1: themselves with their names. We were grown adults having a
Speaker 1: fine time.
Speaker 2: And I'm not there.
Speaker 1: I'm not there necessarily gathering content, at the very least
Speaker 1: not negative content. Unless somebody something truly crazy happens and
Speaker 1: I'm forced to sit here and tell you this story
Speaker 1: and long story short basically now, and I want to
Speaker 1: point out I don't know that this guy was in
Speaker 1: any way, shape or form necessarily in charge, but he
Speaker 1: he seemingly.
Speaker 2: Had the supporters.
Speaker 1: And so I left because he's all right, you don't
Speaker 1: want me here unless I go stand over with the
Speaker 1: film crew, I'm out. And then I went over some
Speaker 1: other ones. I went to Mike Causey, who we had
Speaker 1: on yesterday. They were very very nice. Rossie gave me
Speaker 1: his card. I don't know that that's going to get
Speaker 1: your insurance deduction, but he asked me to give it
Speaker 1: to you, So I'll give that to you next time
Speaker 1: I see you. But yeah, man, just like some people
Speaker 1: can't get out of their own way, and some of
Speaker 1: those people are on TV and just absolutely unable to deal.
Speaker 1: So we'll start our journey down the media landscape from
Speaker 1: the election, and let's talk. I mentioned Mike Casey there.
Speaker 1: He's running for insurance commissioner or rerunning his incumbent. I
Speaker 1: we'll tell you where he and the Council of State
Speaker 1: and some other folks landed.
Speaker 2: And we'll do it next.
Speaker 1: Even though many of you may be very excited with
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's reelection, and it's the reaction that you're going
Speaker 1: to see today you will feast on in your soul,
Speaker 1: and that's fine.
Speaker 2: You look handle it. However you won.
Speaker 1: The fact remains that in the state of North Carolina,
Speaker 1: the next governor is gonna be Josh Stein, a man who,
Speaker 1: according to the courts, cheated in one election and attempted
Speaker 1: to manipulate an entire another one in a way that
Speaker 1: he was not permitted to do. And his attorney general
Speaker 1: is gonna be Jeff TikTok Jackson. And if you don't
Speaker 1: know this dude, get to know him. So it's gonna
Speaker 1: be it's gonna be a little weird. And also it
Speaker 1: will probably be a lot of unless people are gonna
Speaker 1: flip parties, We're gonna be running into situations where no,
Speaker 1: nothing's gonna get done unless Stein and legislative leaders are
Speaker 1: willing to actually, you know, adult through this thing. Because
Speaker 1: the super majority is likely not a thing anymore. Council
Speaker 1: of State looks largely largely and not all. By the way,
Speaker 1: not all of these races are official. I just want
Speaker 1: to be very clear here, because there's a cop one
Speaker 1: of these races is like, is it a thousand or something.
Speaker 1: I mean really really close. So let's let's you know,
Speaker 1: let's keep.
Speaker 2: That in mind.
Speaker 1: And that is all going to be impactful, and it
Speaker 1: is all going to you know, be something that we
Speaker 1: in North Carolina deal with. But at the federal level,
Speaker 1: things are just getting rolling. And I think, really and
Speaker 1: Rosster and I are just talking off the air, and
Speaker 1: here's the analogy that I made. Let's say you want
Speaker 1: to bet on football. Okay, you want to do a
Speaker 1: little I want to do a little sports gambling, do
Speaker 1: your thing. And let's say you want to bet on
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs. Ein't no Kansas City Chiefs next game.
Speaker 1: But let's say also that in the middle of the
Speaker 1: week we find out Patrick Mahomes he ain't playing. It's
Speaker 1: hit by a truck or something. And you walk into
Speaker 1: that betting situation on a moneyline bet or in some
Speaker 1: other way, shape or form, where in your mind you're
Speaker 1: still factoring that he's playing. Because you refuse to acknowledge
Speaker 1: what has happened, you're gonna lose your money damn near
Speaker 1: every time. And that is what you saw in the
Speaker 1: world of journalism. You saw people who can't understand how
Speaker 1: these things came to pass. They refused to factor in
Speaker 1: the impact that somebody almost murdering Trump twice once Razor
Speaker 1: thin and what that might have on people. That was
Speaker 1: a very powerful as jaded as we are, that was
Speaker 1: an extremely powerful event.
Speaker 4: No only yeah, not only was it a powerful event,
Speaker 4: but you had the media who was acting like it
Speaker 4: never happened to completely memory hold it and it did
Speaker 4: it a lot of one adim people. Look what it
Speaker 4: did to Mark Zuckerberg robot But yeah, Mark, well he
Speaker 4: used to seem like a robot and now he seems
Speaker 4: more human. And you see how he's handled stuff on
Speaker 4: Facebook when it comes to this, it's been completely different.
Speaker 4: He's like a different dude. He said it was the
Speaker 4: most American photo what he's ever seen her most badass
Speaker 4: as Yeah, yes, because he was. There's a lot of
Speaker 4: people that saw that dude got shot at and we
Speaker 4: saw this before in the.
Speaker 2: Dude got shot shot right and we seen this.
Speaker 4: Before, Like how would Trump handled this? Oh he would
Speaker 4: run away, look at coward, dude hit the ground, popped
Speaker 4: up with his fist up saying fight that's in.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm sorry, He'll never not funny, very nice, I know,
Speaker 1: he'll never not be fuddy shoes.
Speaker 2: Sorry, yeah, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then he popped up fist of the air.
Speaker 1: The photo is so iconic that they had to memory
Speaker 1: hole it too.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean you're talking about how like, how is
Speaker 4: somebody going to respond under pressure? Right? Yeah, there you go,
Speaker 4: And yeah, there's a lot of it. There's a lot
Speaker 4: of people across the globe, like leaders who are going
Speaker 4: to look at that going Wow, you're telling me, put
Speaker 4: is not going to see that be like, that's amazing.
Speaker 4: You don't have to work. You know, wonder how that
Speaker 4: dude's going.
Speaker 1: You'll probably have them self shot. You'll probably have themself
Speaker 1: shot just to keep the edge man.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, both ears look at that. Yeah, that's amazing.
Speaker 1: And then of course you ever did the shoot, and
Speaker 1: I'll go up to their thirtieth floor condo and bad,
Speaker 1: bad things, just.
Speaker 4: The way this all played out, like the law fair,
Speaker 4: the mug shot, the attempt, everything, all of it, all
Speaker 4: of it. Can't tell me. I'm sorry, you can't tell
Speaker 4: me that God wasn't involved in some way. You can't.
Speaker 4: It's it's a you can if.
Speaker 1: You boo God on your party platform. The whole story
Speaker 1: it's just a miracle.
Speaker 4: It's a it's an amazing comeback, the greatest political comeback
Speaker 4: in American history.
Speaker 1: Now, does that mean Donald Trump's going to go in
Speaker 1: there and be able to accomplish everything that he promised?
Speaker 2: I know, No he's not.
Speaker 1: Now they are going to control the Senate, but again,
Speaker 1: you're not up to the sixty votes. And but also,
Speaker 1: as much I hate to say it, that the expectation
Speaker 1: for politicians now is that like even getting them to
Speaker 1: attempt to do the things that they want to do. Right,
Speaker 1: to get him to do that seems to be the
Speaker 1: high bar, which is it's the reality of politics, it's
Speaker 1: the reality of Washington.
Speaker 2: But that's what people want to see.
Speaker 1: And no matter how much Trump bothers you, but you
Speaker 1: hold your nose vote for him. The one thing the
Speaker 1: guy did attempt to do is really the big thing,
Speaker 1: the big issues. Remember he was you didn't like, people
Speaker 1: didn't like how he was going to do it. Remember
Speaker 1: when he was like, i'll sign DACA today if you'll
Speaker 1: give me six billion dollars for a wall, and they
Speaker 1: sneered at him and Nancy did a photo op, right,
Speaker 1: But he tried to do it. He tried to do
Speaker 1: it in his way, and so you know, we'll we'll
Speaker 1: take them as they come and we'll call it like
Speaker 1: we see it, which is what you're expected to do
Speaker 1: in journalism. But if you're going to sit there and
Speaker 1: you can't. Did you see heads exploding yesterday? I don't
Speaker 1: know that we have audio because I just saw several
Speaker 1: versions of it when they started coming to terms. Because
Speaker 1: here's what they inevitably do, right, they break down everything
Speaker 1: into you know, grievance groups, right or or you know,
Speaker 1: they slice it through the diversity of the diversity process.
Speaker 1: So here's what's wrong with latinas, what's what's going on
Speaker 1: with black men, what's going on with you know, crazy
Speaker 1: white women with college degree? And this is what they do.
Speaker 1: And it does help you understand, especially if you're marketing.
Speaker 1: But I feel like you weren't paying attention. And when
Speaker 1: they seized upon what could be and I don't know
Speaker 1: what the final number will be, just under fifty percent
Speaker 1: of Latino votes going to Trump. They would they didn't
Speaker 1: have blood in their faces to start with. You could
Speaker 1: see through them looking at that number. Unable to comprehend
Speaker 1: how that happened. How does Donald Trump go and get
Speaker 1: between forty five and fifty percent of Latino votes.
Speaker 2: They can't. They could wrap their head around it.
Speaker 1: And if you asked you, if you if you woke
Speaker 1: me up and gave me thirty seconds to give you
Speaker 1: three reasons, that might be I could do that, believe
Speaker 1: it or not. And I don't know if you know
Speaker 1: this a lot of a lot of Latinos kind of religious.
Speaker 2: Ross. Had you heard about this?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Okay, did you're?
Speaker 4: Yeah, a tiny bit kind of religious, big believers in
Speaker 4: the family unit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they are fans of that man.
Speaker 4: And uh work their asses to get here legally or yeah,
Speaker 4: their parents did, and they're like, hey, what the hell
Speaker 4: is going on over here? That is right?
Speaker 2: There's three because and there's so many more.
Speaker 4: Because dare I say they might see themselves as American? Right,
Speaker 4: hey we're Americans? But yeah, no, it's it's weird. Yeah,
Speaker 4: So maybe stop dividing all the everybody into different groups.
Speaker 10: Right?
Speaker 4: Wow?
Speaker 1: Well, what how you got twenty four hours to fill
Speaker 1: on MSNBC.
Speaker 2: What are you gonna do? Are you gonna do?
Speaker 1: Uh? Jonathan k Part Unfortunately, I think there's gonna be
Speaker 1: the pin cushion on criticism here for this particular point.
Speaker 1: So Jonathan k Part PBS also he does some of
Speaker 1: the Washington Posts TV stuff, or.
Speaker 2: He tries to.
Speaker 1: So we didn't get to this audio yesterday, but it
Speaker 1: is so important. One of the people that he had
Speaker 1: on is Hugh Hewitt, who is a radio host, conservative
Speaker 1: radio host. Some people think he's a little too rhino.
Speaker 1: We I'll save that for you, but he's exactly the
Speaker 1: kind of guy in one of these left leaning outfits
Speaker 1: where you think you're balancing your panel, that you bring
Speaker 1: him on basically to be your whipping boy, right, And
Speaker 1: so this is this is from earlier this week, but
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play you right now. And you have kpe Part,
Speaker 1: you have Hugh Hewitt, and you have another person who's
Speaker 1: gonna have technical issues but is not really important to
Speaker 1: this story. So k Part is having to host this
Speaker 1: and I in my shoes, I could tell you this
Speaker 1: is a very uncomfortable feeling when all of a sudden
Speaker 1: you lose all your guests, your connection. I can't hear ross.
Speaker 1: We have a caller in the call things you got
Speaker 1: to scramble to fix it. So k Part's sitting there
Speaker 1: and this conversation's happening and Hugh Hewitt has enough. He's
Speaker 1: just out and he does the classic rip the lava
Speaker 1: leer off the little microphone set up, and then off
Speaker 1: he goes.
Speaker 11: We are newspeople, even though we have opinions, and we
Speaker 11: have to report the whole story if we bring up
Speaker 11: part of the story. So yes, he's upset about Bucks County,
Speaker 11: but he was right and he won in court.
Speaker 10: That's the story.
Speaker 2: Let's see it. I'll let you keep going, Jonathan.
Speaker 12: No, I'm just I don't appreciate being lectured about reporting
Speaker 12: when you many times you come here saying lots of
Speaker 12: things that aren't.
Speaker 4: I will come back back, but.
Speaker 5: I'm done.
Speaker 11: This is the most unfair election at I have ever
Speaker 11: been a part of.
Speaker 2: You guys are working, that's fine.
Speaker 10: I'm done.
Speaker 2: And he's out.
Speaker 12: Ruth, you wrote a column this week ending with this line,
Speaker 12: and actually I think this is perfect. We're gonna put
Speaker 12: it on the screen. You wrote you want to know
Speaker 12: the stakes of this election. I don't need democracy, but decency.
Speaker 12: Talk more about that, Ruth.
Speaker 1: As you can't for dude. That dude is so insufferable.
Speaker 1: He's like, ugh, yeah, he loves that word decency. But
Speaker 1: he was so dismissive to Hewett, and Hewett was correct.
Speaker 1: He was talking about Buck Scounty, PA.
Speaker 3: And he was.
Speaker 1: And we'll get in, we'll get into some more of
Speaker 1: the lawyering that was absolutely one.
Speaker 2: Part of this.
Speaker 1: And let me say this, And you know how I
Speaker 1: feel about Michael Wattley. As far as I can tell,
Speaker 1: I think they did a bang up job. And I'll
Speaker 1: explain why that is. And I will give credit where
Speaker 1: credit is due if if in fact that was him
Speaker 1: and not others handling it. But from what I what
Speaker 1: it looks like, it looks like the National Party was
Speaker 1: having none of this.
Speaker 4: They did a great job. And I kept seeing yesterday
Speaker 4: and I agreed with it. If Ron McDaniel was still
Speaker 4: in here there, right, you would have seen a different
Speaker 4: reaction what you saw.
Speaker 1: Well, but it required something else. And let me play
Speaker 1: this audio and I'll explain the other thing it required
Speaker 1: that I think can't can't be said enough. But all right,
Speaker 1: so I played that audio of Hugh Hewitt. Now let's
Speaker 1: go to the moment it settles in on the PBS
Speaker 1: Washington Post coverage last night, the moment where k part
Speaker 1: realizes Hugh Hewitt, now you know what he doesn't. He
Speaker 1: probably to this day still thinks you Hewitt is lying
Speaker 1: to him every time he's on there and is completely irrational.
Speaker 2: Listen to the cope in k Part's voice.
Speaker 13: I mean, there's a shift, right, and then there's a
Speaker 13: shift to Trump and shifting to trump Ism, and you know,
Speaker 13: I'm looking at a lot of things, especially after David
Speaker 13: talked about looking at counties, and you know how Trump
Speaker 13: is gaining on what he did in twenty twenty. And
Speaker 13: to me, I am I'm mystified in some ways because
Speaker 13: we're talking about it twice and paged four times, indicted,
Speaker 13: convicted on thirty four felon accounts, former president someone. That's
Speaker 13: one bucket. Then in another bucket you have all of
Speaker 13: the things he's been saying on the campaign trail. That
Speaker 13: gets to the decency that the woman was talking about
Speaker 13: in that last report and how she wanted to vote
Speaker 13: for Vice President Harris because she didn't like that Madison
Speaker 13: Square Garden rally.
Speaker 2: I am.
Speaker 13: Just I am mystified that despite all of that, he's
Speaker 13: gaining support compared to twenty twenty. And it gets back
Speaker 13: to something I said earlier at some point one of
Speaker 13: the hours go that who are we as a country,
Speaker 13: and we're starting to find out and from what I'm
Speaker 13: seeing right now, I'm not sure I like it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, here's why you're mystified. I'm going to help you out,
Speaker 1: John then, because honestly, I anyone in this business floundering
Speaker 1: that bad, there's a little part of me that's like, ugh,
Speaker 1: that sucks, because you've been there early on your career
Speaker 1: something's not going well. But this guy made a career
Speaker 1: out of it not going well. Believe it or not, sir,
Speaker 1: there are parts of this country that exists south of
Speaker 1: the Potomac and west of Dulles, Okay, And if you're
Speaker 1: Kate Park, I don't think you. I think Dulles is
Speaker 1: as far west as this dude goes, and I think
Speaker 1: Arlington is as far south.
Speaker 2: I mean, what what are we doing here?
Speaker 10: You?
Speaker 2: I mean, you're you're up there in DC. You're in
Speaker 2: the bubble.
Speaker 1: I understand that I've been to the very building you broadcast,
Speaker 1: because it's where we did our radio row, the very
Speaker 1: building that he broadcasts out of, and and because I
Speaker 1: could we could watch them doing the the live hits
Speaker 1: or their background is the Capitol Building or the Monument.
Speaker 1: There's a stage on top of this building. And it's
Speaker 1: kind of interesting. I think I posted a photo was
Speaker 1: up there one time of like Anderson Cooper out there,
Speaker 1: because it's there's all of these different news outlets that
Speaker 1: are in this one office because it's a block from
Speaker 1: the Capitol, and but the whole building is filled with
Speaker 1: CNN and and PBS and NBC and Fox. Fox is
Speaker 1: in that same building for part of their broadcast, and
Speaker 1: so it's the building is a bubble within a bubble.
Speaker 1: That's how you're mystified. That's how you don't understand that
Speaker 1: these things are impactful. And people people have lots of thoughts,
Speaker 1: and a lot of those thoughts are not about how
Speaker 1: you perceive the country is, but rather how they perceive
Speaker 1: their individual life is. And you can call that selfish
Speaker 1: all you want. And and whether they're voting just on
Speaker 1: economic stuff, as a lot of people said, or they
Speaker 1: feel that in a bigger they have a bigger vision
Speaker 1: for America that has fundamentally changed in some very negative ways.
Speaker 1: The other bubble is outside of DC, and it's a
Speaker 1: much bigger bubble. And that's the flex that you saw.
Speaker 1: Because yes, some of those votes, a lot of those
Speaker 1: votes were about a big, big picture image of what
Speaker 1: America should be. And it's not for a thousand reasons,
Speaker 1: they think, just as you can't fathom how Trump operates
Speaker 1: in that and you fail as a journalist if you
Speaker 1: fail to recognize that.
Speaker 2: It's a thing to sit there.
Speaker 1: Look, do you remember the Senate runoff election following the
Speaker 1: twenty twenty election. I said on this radio, I said,
Speaker 1: the Democrats are going to win this thing, probably because
Speaker 1: you can sense the mood around things. And they did,
Speaker 1: and then Georgia went all the way and the other way. Now,
Speaker 1: why did I say, there's one other element that I
Speaker 1: think is vitally important here? Because it was a tool
Speaker 1: that was utilized by the GOP, by you and me
Speaker 1: and everybody else out there, that wasn't a tool that
Speaker 1: was available previously. And it you cannot stress the importance
Speaker 1: enough of it.
Speaker 2: What is that tool? I will tell you, and it
Speaker 2: we'll hear from you. Eight eight eight.
Speaker 1: Nine three four seven eight seven four. We'll get to
Speaker 1: some calls and give you a little more of a
Speaker 1: rundown coming up. Hang on the CaCO Day radio program.
Speaker 1: Let's go ahead and open phones. Well, I'll get into
Speaker 1: some of the audio here because we want to hear
Speaker 1: from you. Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight
Speaker 1: seven four What did you notice? What did you You know,
Speaker 1: we're playing a lot of this audio, but like, what
Speaker 1: was what was the craziest moment as you're sitting there
Speaker 1: and you're watching this unfold and there are several to
Speaker 1: choose from, but before we get into those, I want
Speaker 1: to talk about something that it really started to resonate
Speaker 1: with me as the day went on, about what I
Speaker 1: think the big fundamental difference was in the election yesterday
Speaker 1: versus twenty twenty and twenty so basically versus every election
Speaker 1: before them.
Speaker 2: And that's this.
Speaker 1: And you remember on the show yesterday we had Michael Wattley,
Speaker 1: the National Party chair, sent out a he sent out
Speaker 1: a Shenanigan's alert, so to speak. I guess in Pennsylvania
Speaker 1: where you had the biggest counties in the state, and
Speaker 1: that also included the biggest red county in the state
Speaker 1: where Republican poll watchers were not being allowed in there,
Speaker 1: which this would all been settled. Everyone knew what was up,
Speaker 1: and they decided they weren't going to do it, and
Speaker 1: that thing went viral in a moment and throughout the
Speaker 1: day I noticed a much larger selection of people giving
Speaker 1: first person accounts, not necessarily even alleging shenanigans, just saying.
Speaker 2: Hey, this was really weird. I went to vote and
Speaker 2: this happened.
Speaker 1: And then you saw things like you had a precinct
Speaker 1: captain in Pennsylvania who just decided to not show up
Speaker 1: for an hour and they were telling and this was
Speaker 1: in a red district, but somehow it's a DEM guy.
Speaker 1: I guess maybe it's the the way the county split,
Speaker 1: but whatever, and the dude just didn't show and they're like, oh,
Speaker 1: y'all gotta leave.
Speaker 2: I mean, stuff like that.
Speaker 1: But it was getting amplified, whereas in previous elections a
Speaker 1: lot of most of the a lot of times they
Speaker 1: would just take those down saying, well, it's not verified,
Speaker 1: and it's like it's a person giving their first, first
Speaker 1: hand thing. Even if you speculate motive, then it would
Speaker 1: get it would get essentially shadow band. You didn't see
Speaker 1: that stuff floating around. But what you saw yesterday is
Speaker 1: the moment people had concerns. It was out there. You
Speaker 1: had the roving bands of lawyers if you will, that
Speaker 1: the GOP had put into place. It was once again
Speaker 1: a scenario ross how many how many of those stories
Speaker 1: yesterday do you see where it was seemingly disenfranchising blue
Speaker 1: voters versus red voters because it also kind of seemed
Speaker 1: to be read And and just we're clear, I follow
Speaker 1: all the main TV everything, all the left wing media.
Speaker 1: We follow that on the show account because I want
Speaker 1: to get a you know, a shot of what's going on.
Speaker 1: So you cannot, in my opinion, you cannot emphasize the enough.
Speaker 2: The the power of what Twitter was able to do yesterday.
Speaker 1: And and and I saw people were getting mad. They're like, ooh,
Speaker 1: it's that they got a Trump ad at the top
Speaker 1: of trending. You remember last election they had a Democrat
Speaker 1: out of the top of trending.
Speaker 4: That was a thing.
Speaker 1: It literally is just the opposite of the thing that
Speaker 1: was a thing. You saw immediate response, and I and
Speaker 1: and you saw people who were ever more vigilant, and
Speaker 1: almost in almost every scenario, whatever the problem was, it
Speaker 1: seemingly got fixed pretty quickly. And if you're in that
Speaker 1: micro managed observant of a state right where there's eyeballs everywhere,
Speaker 1: you gotta have to be careful if you think you're
Speaker 1: gonna pull something.
Speaker 14: And I.
Speaker 2: Think that was out there.
Speaker 1: Uh you had and then you had you had like leftists,
Speaker 1: governors and whatnot who were like, all right, well we're
Speaker 1: gonna put a bunch of uh uh you know, uh
Speaker 1: troopers or police or wherever you know, depending on where
Speaker 1: it was. So there's no voter in Timid Josh Shapiro
Speaker 1: was out there. It's like, you Republicans better not voter
Speaker 1: intimidate people, which is rich considering it was Pennsylvania where
Speaker 1: that famous photo of black nationalists, the Black Panthers out
Speaker 1: in front of that place all kit it up. Going
Speaker 1: back to the Barack Obama election, that's where that happened.
Speaker 1: So you can't talk about the election yesterday and not
Speaker 1: recognize what I mean. This is just I don't want
Speaker 1: to get into too much of the military analogy, but
Speaker 1: it's like previous to this, it's like one one group
Speaker 1: of troops had radios and the other didn't. And go
Speaker 1: ahead and try to on a modern battlefield take somebody on.
Speaker 1: When you can't communicate in a timely and immediate manner
Speaker 1: with your forces, that's one hand tied behind your back.
Speaker 2: Twitter filled that void yesterday.
Speaker 4: I was thinking this yesterday to myself I said, you know,
Speaker 4: this is going to be a test. Is Twitter is
Speaker 4: what I'm seeing on my feed? Is it reality?
Speaker 1: Oh you're stealing where I'm going with this, but yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: go ahead or feed my algorithm right it, yes, knows
Speaker 1: what I want. So it's like, hey, this is going
Speaker 1: to feed your dopamine and this is reality? Which one
Speaker 1: is it? And it turned out what you're seeing on
Speaker 1: Twitter tends to be more reality. It's not an echo chamber.
Speaker 1: And I want to say we've said it on the
Speaker 1: show before. It previously was yes it was, and we
Speaker 1: how many times have we said on the show the
Speaker 1: problem you can't think Twitter is real life.
Speaker 2: And you still can't think that there. I mean, there's
Speaker 2: there's a lot of stuff, but it's.
Speaker 1: Closer when people are unabridged in their ability to state
Speaker 1: their opinions. Only then are you going to get closer
Speaker 1: to the reality on the ground. Did you see what happened?
Speaker 1: Every time they asked somebody, they would run up. They'd
Speaker 1: run up to Latino women, hoping that they were Puerto Rican,
Speaker 1: and then some Puerto Rican woman would be like, I'm
Speaker 1: voting for Trump because you know, I have kids I
Speaker 1: want to feed. There and you know, the news anchor
Speaker 1: be standing there like what's happening, and it's like.
Speaker 2: Ask you. They kept pointing out four hundred.
Speaker 1: Thousand Puerto Ricans live in swings there, whatever the number was,
Speaker 1: all right, he's doomed, that's it. But then you never
Speaker 1: asked yourself why do four hundred thousand Puerto Ricans live
Speaker 1: there and not in Puerto Rico. I'm not disputing their
Speaker 1: ability to move back and forth, but you make a decision,
Speaker 1: and if you ever been to Puerto Rico, it's not
Speaker 1: solely an economic one, or most Puerto Ricans would then
Speaker 1: move and look for opportunities that pay more. But there's
Speaker 1: a lot of folks stay there and that's fine. I
Speaker 1: don't care which one you do. But why did they
Speaker 1: make the decision to move? It may have nothing to
Speaker 1: do with the with problems they assessed in Puerto Rico,
Speaker 1: but I'll bet some of it did. And so they're
Speaker 1: sitting there looking at it and they're like done, okay.
Speaker 1: Whatever they may be offended, It wasn't another Puerto Rican guy,
Speaker 1: because there's a certain pride there, but it didn't necessarily
Speaker 1: overwrite what they were hoping to accomplish and so watching
Speaker 1: them try to get at the root of this. You
Speaker 1: want to hear Chuck Todd and then we'll get into calls.
Speaker 1: Listen to Chuck Todd. He's not I want to say
Speaker 1: he's close, he's closer to getting it, but I don't
Speaker 1: think he is. I think his brain has stopped on
Speaker 1: this point he's going to make and he will never
Speaker 1: be able to think past why this is.
Speaker 15: It was a total misread sort of by the coastal
Speaker 15: strategists when it comes to how to target working class
Speaker 15: motors of color. And I think we're starting to see
Speaker 15: sort of a working class coalition start to drift to
Speaker 15: the right. You know, before Donald Trump had working class whites.
Speaker 15: Now he's adding working class Hispanics and working class not
Speaker 15: necessarily seeing evidence of working class African America, but adding
Speaker 15: work in class Hispanics. That becomes a very durable majority.
Speaker 16: Well, another way of saying that is the education gap. Well,
Speaker 16: it's the same thing college educated on college educated.
Speaker 15: It doesn't matter your ethnicity, it matters your education.
Speaker 2: Do you touch that last line?
Speaker 4: So I'm watching that. I have Twitter open, yeah, and
Speaker 4: I got NBC opening. Chuck Todd says that I'm I'm
Speaker 4: my couch and I literally looked up and I said,
Speaker 4: did he just say that? I'm like, I have to
Speaker 4: find that audio in the morning, because what he's pretty
Speaker 4: much saying is, you know, it comes down to education.
Speaker 4: If you're educated, doesn't matter your race. If you're educated,
Speaker 4: you're going to vote for the left. But if you're
Speaker 4: on a you're a dumb, stupid person with no education
Speaker 4: knuckles like these Puerto Rihuans and Latinos, where you're going
Speaker 4: to vote for the right. That is consulting.
Speaker 1: Well, what it's it's abandoning the identity politics that brought
Speaker 1: you right. But two, he never stops to go, what
Speaker 1: else do those voters who vote Democrat that you're talking about,
Speaker 1: what else do they have in common?
Speaker 2: Or they may that may have colored their worldview?
Speaker 1: Ross, can you think of anything that Chuck Todd Team
Speaker 1: Team Todd will call him right, mabe.
Speaker 4: Because he spent I don't know, you have forty eight
Speaker 4: years in your re education camp that is the universities.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh okay, yeah, that's a good point right there.
Speaker 1: The Chuck Todd mind can't comprehend. Man can't comprehend. All right,
Speaker 1: let's grab some calls camera and you're up first, what's up?
Speaker 17: Hey, Gaysy just wanted to mention I was skeptical in
Speaker 17: regards to twenty twenty about claims that it being stolen
Speaker 17: a rig but after last night.
Speaker 2: I am one convent that's the election was rigged. I mean,
Speaker 2: whether it was or wasn't. Yeah, well, but here's the thing,
Speaker 2: whether it was or wasn't.
Speaker 1: The best trolling I saw yesterday was people going into
Speaker 1: like Unreddit and going, you know what I didn't maybe
Speaker 1: the way they did steal the last one, and watching
Speaker 1: people's reaction to it.
Speaker 18: So those were hilarious as well.
Speaker 17: But it's a great day to be American, Casey, That's
Speaker 17: all I gotta say.
Speaker 1: All Right, well, thanks for calling in. Let's grab one more, Shannon,
Speaker 1: go right ahead.
Speaker 19: Good morning, Casey, Thank you so much for taking my
Speaker 19: call today.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you bet, what's up there, Paul workout.
Speaker 19: And it's a brand new day for this country.
Speaker 20: I am so elated.
Speaker 21: I can't hardly stand myself today.
Speaker 19: Thank you, Thank you America. Thank you for American people
Speaker 19: who have been quiet, who have eaten crow for the
Speaker 19: last four years of dealing with this bureaucracy that we
Speaker 19: were forced into. For getting out there yesterday, putting your
Speaker 19: name down, putting your vote on the ballad, getting us
Speaker 19: where we need to be.
Speaker 1: Let me let me ask you this. Do you when
Speaker 1: you go to work today? Is it out and open
Speaker 1: in the office? Do you do you worry that things
Speaker 1: are going to be hostile? Or is do you think
Speaker 1: that people are going to be able to adult? And
Speaker 1: it's just the media the it's going to be freaking out.
Speaker 19: It's just the media. My team, the place that I work,
Speaker 19: they are incredibly supportive of each other. We've actually had
Speaker 19: some really good conversations and debate with each other, and
Speaker 19: at the end of the day, we still really like
Speaker 19: each other a lot. I truly believe all of America
Speaker 19: feels that way. I truly believe that it's the media
Speaker 19: that's forcing it down our throats.
Speaker 18: Let me tell you something.
Speaker 19: I was so angry this morning when I got up
Speaker 19: and I turned on like grocal News. They're still trying
Speaker 19: to act like he didn't win. They're still waiting for
Speaker 19: the votes to all come in before they announced the winner.
Speaker 19: Are you kidding me? Get over it. The American people
Speaker 19: have spoken really, really loudly. Somebody in the media needs
Speaker 19: to get on the right page and get off this
Speaker 19: Trump bashing train that they've been on for years.
Speaker 2: You know that's not going to happen, Shannon.
Speaker 1: This just everyone buckle in for four more years of
Speaker 1: Milania is wearing a white dress to signal that she's
Speaker 1: in danger and needs rescue. Just get ready for that because,
Speaker 1: by the way, that was a real story. If people
Speaker 1: don't know that she wore a white dress one day
Speaker 1: and it was an s OS cry for help, and
Speaker 1: so you know, buckle in because more of that's coming, Shannon,
Speaker 1: appreciate the call.
Speaker 2: Glad you're.
Speaker 1: Hitting the ground running this morning. People are gonna have
Speaker 1: some spring in their step or some well the other thing.
Speaker 1: But to Shannon's point, yeah, I think the majority of Americans,
Speaker 1: even if they want to get fiery and discussions with people,
Speaker 1: they're not Van Jones and his team.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: There's there's a.
Speaker 1: Few people, but they have a lot of amplification who
Speaker 1: act like this. Yet in reality, it's just not how
Speaker 1: people roll. Where is my oh there it is right
Speaker 1: turn Wait, listen, this is Van Jones, damn near in tears.
Speaker 22: I hear what you're saying, and I do see it
Speaker 22: deffinitely because I'm thinking about the people who are not
Speaker 22: a part of anybody's elite, who are hurting tonight. There
Speaker 22: are African American women who know a little bit about
Speaker 22: being talked down to. I know a little bit about
Speaker 22: having their economic dreams crushed, who tried to dream a
Speaker 22: big dream over the past couple of months.
Speaker 1: I have a question, who's crushing Black women's dreams, financial dreams.
Speaker 1: I just want to I mean, in what sense do
Speaker 1: you mean? I mean, obviously he's making comparison that they
Speaker 1: all wanted Kamala, which is in and of itself not
Speaker 1: even accurate. Right if she is not just I understand
Speaker 1: that she's one in the race, But ultimately, if all
Speaker 1: you want to see is an African American woman in there,
Speaker 1: as Van Jones just said, and you don't care about
Speaker 1: anything else, that's probably not a good strategy for voting,
Speaker 1: and it's not one that's going to carry the totality
Speaker 1: of a group. So I don't even know what you're
Speaker 1: arriving at there. You know something that can be that
Speaker 1: could really crush the economic prowess of any woman, To
Speaker 1: be quite honest with you, having you know the things
Speaker 1: that so that from an economic standpoint, are are injurious right,
Speaker 1: having they put this out, having children out of wedlock,
Speaker 1: the you know, various uh, various relationships that people have
Speaker 1: necessarily with their own family, the tightness of their own family.
Speaker 1: And again, these are not just black or Latino or
Speaker 1: white things. These are reality. There are decisions that we make.
Speaker 1: There's the things that happened to us too, and it
Speaker 1: is all impactful.
Speaker 2: And Van Jones can't deal tonight.
Speaker 22: They're trading in a lot of hope for a lot
Speaker 22: of hurt. And they were hoping that maybe this time,
Speaker 22: this time, one of their own could be seen as
Speaker 22: worthy and once again.
Speaker 2: And she could if she wasn't Kamala Harris, Okay.
Speaker 22: They're facing rejection and that hurts. They thought tomorrow morning
Speaker 22: they're going to walk out with their shoulders back a
Speaker 22: little bit, they be able to breathe for the first
Speaker 22: time and feel like they belong someplace. They did everything
Speaker 22: that they knew how to do, and it's going to
Speaker 22: be harder than it should be to mark them to
Speaker 22: hold their heads up. And they're not the only people
Speaker 22: who are hurting tonight. If you're a tran, if you're
Speaker 22: a parent of a trans kid, your child's face was
Speaker 22: used as a springboard to power for somebody that doesn't.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, you want to know who used trans children
Speaker 1: as a power flex when the GOP at first, I
Speaker 1: mean they use it as a as a as a
Speaker 1: point of differentiating who they how they would govern. But
Speaker 1: they weren't the folks running around integrating them into women's
Speaker 1: sports or any of the very contentious issues out there.
Speaker 1: The start of this conversations's unblocking people today is unblocking
Speaker 1: day on his Twitter count for what twenty four hours?
Speaker 2: Maybe a week?
Speaker 4: I got, yeah, at least twenty four hours. I have
Speaker 4: to see how Mark Hamill's doing, Mark Ruffalo all this game, Yeah,
Speaker 4: checking on the marks, Yeah, Harry Sisson, oh yeah.
Speaker 2: And the other dude.
Speaker 1: But they you know, I spent all yesterday talking about
Speaker 1: being Robert O'Neil's concubine, like, and they were spinning that
Speaker 1: as though he wasn't gravely insulting them. But yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: Cison is a special Like what was the what what
Speaker 1: was the thing?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 1: It was Kamala's uh and Joe Biden's debate performance, Like
Speaker 1: he was the only dude out there going that was magical,
Speaker 1: that was amazing, And it's because he doesn't know how
Speaker 1: to shill properly yet, but he's working on it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's gonna be some goods. That's gonna be some good
Speaker 1: stuff right there. What how disappoint you going to be
Speaker 1: if they just pretended didn't have they they don't have
Speaker 1: the ability? Who am I fool What am I fooling
Speaker 1: myself with?
Speaker 4: Listen, I'm saying I'm looking forward to Saturday when they'll
Speaker 4: have a Kamala Harris playing Hello on the piano and SNL.
Speaker 4: Yeah wait, yeah, I can't wait. That'll be Remember when
Speaker 4: SNL did that, like when Hillary did that, the woman
Speaker 4: playing Hillary. I remember watching the entire thing, and I'm like,
Speaker 4: there's got to be a joke at the end of this, right,
Speaker 4: Like where's hit her?
Speaker 2: Hit her with a pie or something? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Right, Nope, So you don't think you don't think that
Speaker 1: Jim is Jim Gaffigan, the.
Speaker 2: One who what did they have him playing?
Speaker 3: You?
Speaker 1: Just Oh my god, yeah, yeah, oh yeah, you got
Speaker 1: unblocked Jim Gaffigan.
Speaker 4: Jim Gaffigan plays Tim Walls in SNL, and I just realized.
Speaker 4: I just realized, Oh my god, I'm so excited. I
Speaker 4: will never have to see Tim Walls doing the can
Speaker 4: can again and Kamala Harris is now the modern day
Speaker 4: Michael Ducacus. I'm so excited. I am so excited that
Speaker 4: I don't have to load her cackling audio for four years.
Speaker 4: I threatened to quit.
Speaker 1: And wow, she'll speak at some point today, but there
Speaker 1: probably won't be a lot of cackling.
Speaker 2: And she's still the vice president. That's the other thing.
Speaker 1: How did nobody during the entire higher course of analysis
Speaker 1: yesterday bring up the fact that she's the sitting vice president,
Speaker 1: which was one of the biggest GOP talking points, and
Speaker 1: try to calculate, you know, try to calculate that into
Speaker 1: what happened. And let me tell you this, and you
Speaker 1: know how I feel about the polls. I was just
Speaker 1: eyeballing this this morning. That last real clear map that
Speaker 1: got center right that was being shared around where Democrats
Speaker 1: were losing their mind was almost exactly within the margin
Speaker 1: of every state.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it looks like the best polers the posters this
Speaker 4: time around was Atlas Intel, which they were the most
Speaker 4: accurate last election cycle in A twenty twenty and Rasmussen
Speaker 4: was incredible.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you know, just some observations there. All right,
Speaker 1: we got a bunch of calls. Let me play one
Speaker 1: piece of audio and then we'll bang into phone calls.
Speaker 1: And that is Joy Reid, a woman with joy in
Speaker 1: her name, behind a candidate who was promising to bring
Speaker 1: joy so much joy.
Speaker 2: Let's listen to the joy, shall we?
Speaker 16: You just think about just the last two weeks. And
Speaker 16: the thing is that that Donald Trump has said into
Speaker 16: the TV that people could hear him say and do
Speaker 16: the vulgarity in front of families with young children, and
Speaker 16: the threats to do mass deportation and violence.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I particularly love that line, the vulgarity in
Speaker 1: front of children.
Speaker 2: Ross. I've seen some parade photos.
Speaker 1: You ever seen some parade photos where there's kids and
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe some of the stuff in the parade.
Speaker 2: Might not be child appropriate.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but that's okay because they're blurred.
Speaker 2: Oh it's blurred.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, yeah, Oh it's blurred, blurred. That's look at that.
Speaker 1: This is why you know, Ross keeps me on to.
Speaker 16: Start violent, start to his dictatorship on day one and
Speaker 16: you name it. If all of that gets you half
Speaker 16: of the votes forty eight nine percent, and what does
Speaker 16: it tell you? I mean, we need to really take
Speaker 16: a step back and think about what does that say
Speaker 16: about us?
Speaker 1: I think what she means us, she doesn't mean us
Speaker 1: her in her panel, which is the proper response that
Speaker 1: maybe we should take a step back and see what
Speaker 1: that says about us, not realizing that she means you
Speaker 1: and specifically specifically some of you who I'll reveal in
Speaker 1: a moment where we're saying, and this goes.
Speaker 4: Back to the k Part audio we played where he
Speaker 4: was saying, you know, it's one thing to have an
Speaker 4: election and have the electorate go to the right, but
Speaker 4: this is different because this is the Trump right. Joy
Speaker 4: Read and Cape Part and everybody else in this panels.
Speaker 4: They don't seem to understand that Trump is the moderate
Speaker 4: in this race. Compare him, just compare him to DeSantis, right,
Speaker 4: who is the bigger conservative there on policy.
Speaker 2: As the Ron DeSantis. Trump is a moderate compared to Right.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's he's he's he is moderate on most things,
Speaker 1: but on the things that poll well with people and
Speaker 1: they're very concerned about he is. He's on board with Desanta, right,
Speaker 1: They're pretty similar, and so it's all the other intangibles too.
Speaker 2: To get it there.
Speaker 1: You know, DeSantis, what Rose DeSantis to fame was his
Speaker 1: ability to kind of do what Trump was doing too,
Speaker 1: and do it very definitely with the with the Florida
Speaker 1: media there, and it lets you know that voters like
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. When they feel that somebody is
Speaker 1: lying to them or or somebody is doing something insane,
Speaker 1: they want somebody who's not going.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: It's like it's kind of like those videos where it's
Speaker 1: like polite parenting versus how Ross and I were parented
Speaker 1: and disciplined and many of you. Billy, could you stop
Speaker 1: trying to light your sister on fire? Billy please, Billy please?
Speaker 1: You know how that works in my house one in
Speaker 1: one failed ninja swoop, the flammable thing is removed from
Speaker 1: my hand by my mother, and her other hand is
Speaker 1: used to inflict a a substantial but not abusive amount
Speaker 1: of pain to my backside. Okay, you're respecting immigration law
Speaker 1: or respecting laws in general.
Speaker 4: Right. That isn't a far right opinion. That is the
Speaker 4: most Americans believe we should follow the rule of law,
Speaker 4: and we're seeing repectedly where that has not been the case.
Speaker 4: That is, that is not a far right. That is
Speaker 4: that will that is middle. That is moderate that people love.
Speaker 4: And what does America love. You've heard this phrase before.
Speaker 1: America loves an underdog, right, Well, one of the ways
Speaker 1: that you make somebody appear an underdog is you do
Speaker 1: the lawfare thing you joy. Rachel Maddow slash Mark Cuban
Speaker 1: yesterday was saying that regardless if Trump wins or not,
Speaker 1: Elon needs to have all of his government contracts scrapped.
Speaker 1: The guy who is light years ahead of everybody else
Speaker 1: on the space stuff, which is why NASA partners with him, she.
Speaker 2: Wants all of that thrown out. That's insane.
Speaker 1: And most people, even if they don't like Elon, they
Speaker 1: like the idea of kids in Africa having internet service
Speaker 1: and the idea that we may further our ability, not
Speaker 1: necessarily to go to Mars and populate Mars.
Speaker 2: That's that's long range thinking.
Speaker 1: But the you know, the innovative side of what what
Speaker 1: Elon's companies are doing.
Speaker 2: You don't have to like the guy.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people in tech that do some
Speaker 1: really crazy cool stuff and you go to their c
Speaker 1: suite and it's a bunch of moonbats. But I respect
Speaker 1: the effort. All right, let's uh, let's get to this Uh, okay,
Speaker 1: all right, we've got a lot of folks holding Andrew,
Speaker 1: you're up first, go ahead.
Speaker 3: Hey, good morning, Casey. I'll make this real brief, since
Speaker 3: you got a lot of college and so. But I
Speaker 3: just wanted to agree that, you know, you might be
Speaker 3: only something that how Democrats wanted Trump to win. But
Speaker 3: I don't think they wanted to give a power over
Speaker 3: the House and say I think they wanted to keep
Speaker 3: them in check if they did want to do that.
Speaker 3: And also, I think it speaks a big character to
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris for not speaking at her rally. If she
Speaker 3: can't even admit defeat when she knows she's defeated, how
Speaker 3: could she run a presidency. I'll take your answer off there.
Speaker 2: Thanks, But well, yeah, I think people would thanks for
Speaker 2: the call.
Speaker 1: They would say that's Trump, right, I mean, that's and
Speaker 1: that's how normally that debate would go. I I don't
Speaker 1: know she'll she'll have to say something at some point
Speaker 1: today because she's still vice president. She still has press
Speaker 1: gaggles with her. So I are they just going to
Speaker 1: pretend it didn't happen? What's her first meeting with Biden
Speaker 1: going to be?
Speaker 3: That?
Speaker 2: She meets weekly with him.
Speaker 1: How's that going to go? You think he brings it up,
Speaker 1: you think he points.
Speaker 2: Out, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: So the other side of this desk is awesome, not
Speaker 1: that you'll know, but it's pretty sweet.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know how that pans out.
Speaker 23: And what's up ta Casey?
Speaker 2: Good morning morning.
Speaker 23: Most kind of stole my thunder by saying he mentioned
Speaker 23: this before, but it's definitely worth to mention again. Unfortunately
Speaker 23: I don't have broadcast TV at my job. I don't
Speaker 23: have access to it. I would really really all this
Speaker 23: the first day, the first time ever that I would
Speaker 23: want to tune into the view. Uh huh, you'll be interesting,
Speaker 23: my whole my whole hearted belief man, Pernobyl won't have
Speaker 23: a thing on joy Day, haart Man, it's gonna be
Speaker 23: meltdown city. What do you think I will?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: And luckily, sir, if you just wait a few minutes
Speaker 1: after it starts and go on Twitter, I think you'll
Speaker 1: have all the access you need because there's one hundred
Speaker 1: guys wait with a video there's one hundred guys with
Speaker 1: video editing software that have alarms set on their phone
Speaker 1: right now?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 1: Seven forty five Race stagic from the Weather Channel. It's
Speaker 1: the nonpartisan part of our show today. Yeah, unless you
Speaker 1: want to assign political motives to stormfronts. But all right,
Speaker 1: rock dude. Jonathan Mingo, huh Jonathan Mingo? Who yeah, Yeah.
Speaker 14: That's what I said to my buddies. I'm like, who's
Speaker 14: who's this guy?
Speaker 1: Hey, Carolina knows Jonathan and part of that big bear that.
Speaker 14: Well, what do you get a fourth Caroline gets a
Speaker 14: fourth rounder?
Speaker 2: Round?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 10: Fourth?
Speaker 4: Yeah, m hm.
Speaker 14: So what is it going to be rushed to?
Speaker 18: Mingo?
Speaker 2: You get Mingo and a seventh round? I think.
Speaker 14: So that's great, that's great. I can't wait for Sunday,
Speaker 14: can't we?
Speaker 2: Good time? All right, so let's talk about the weather
Speaker 2: up up to Sunday. What's going on?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 14: Uh, Today we've kind of flipped the script here. We
Speaker 14: see the fog closer to and around the triad that
Speaker 14: we do into the triangle where visibilities are eight to
Speaker 14: ten miles and a mile to a quarter mile in
Speaker 14: the triad. So some fogging areas this morning. Then as
Speaker 14: we go through the day, we may get some wet
Speaker 14: weather into the area, but most of it's going to
Speaker 14: be south. Now, this is not the hurricane I don't know.
Speaker 14: Through all this other stuff that's going on, you haven't
Speaker 14: really talked much about Hurricane Raphael, which is going to
Speaker 14: go into the Gulf and we actually dissipate. There's another
Speaker 14: plum of moisture developing in parts of Georgia and South
Speaker 14: Carolina where the rough flood watch is that they try
Speaker 14: to work north tonight and tomorrow. So clouds today with
Speaker 14: the fog this morning near or just above eighty degrees
Speaker 14: for the Triangle, where we may set a record. I
Speaker 14: think the record's eighty or eighty one at Urdu So
Speaker 14: could be a record there. Probably stay in the mid
Speaker 14: upper seventies in the Triad and then tonight we'll see
Speaker 14: after midnight a few showers come. In Thursday, some showers
Speaker 14: scattered around, but we're looking at totals that are going
Speaker 14: to be less than a quarter of an inch, so
Speaker 14: we might not even make a puddle. But as you
Speaker 14: go south, and we're talking like south of Columbia South Carolina,
Speaker 14: that's where you start to see the flood watches for
Speaker 14: heavier rainfalls. So if you are traveling in the next
Speaker 14: couple of days, will be some rain, but it's not
Speaker 14: associated at all with Raphael. It's just some tropical moisture
Speaker 14: coming north. There's Stowe chance of a shower Friday, but
Speaker 14: we should be good for the most part, partly Sunday
Speaker 14: low to mid seventies. The weekend looks good. Saturday, sunny, Sunday, cloudy,
Speaker 14: upper sixties, low seventies, so we do cool off a
Speaker 14: bit before we were back up into Veterans Day, back
Speaker 14: into the mid upper seventy. So what casey, we've really
Speaker 14: had this blow torch in the eastern half of the US.
Speaker 14: All the storms, all the snow so far has been
Speaker 14: out west, and it looks like it's going to continue
Speaker 14: right into next week, maybe even the following week as
Speaker 14: we head toward Thanksgiving week, maybe a pattern change starting
Speaker 14: to show up. So we'll see I when you get
Speaker 14: some colder air south. Finally for all the cold weather
Speaker 14: and stuff lovers, the snow, stuff things, and that'd be
Speaker 14: people like me, but right now, don't see it over
Speaker 14: the next week or two.
Speaker 1: Okay, All right, Hey, thank you sir, appreciate it. We're
Speaker 1: talking an hour and I mentioned I mentioned that there
Speaker 1: was a joy read actually got more specific on who's
Speaker 1: to blame. And I feel like especially any of my
Speaker 1: female audience members. You don't want to miss what she said.
Speaker 1: We'll have that coming up next to more of your calls.
Speaker 1: Hang on, I promised you the other half of the
Speaker 1: joy read things, so let me get that. And ladies,
Speaker 1: you're gonna find this particularly interesting.
Speaker 16: Black voters came through for Kamala Harris. White women voters
Speaker 16: did not. And that is what it appears happened in that.
Speaker 2: State is North Carolina, by the way, slip enough.
Speaker 16: White women, and we've talked about this on this set
Speaker 16: numerous times, is that you have a state where you've
Speaker 16: got a six week abortion, work twelve week abortion. I
Speaker 16: think there might be twelve weeks, but it's a state
Speaker 16: where women lost their reproductive rights, where there was a
Speaker 16: very heavy push to get women to focus on not
Speaker 16: putting in place, you know, re electing putting back into
Speaker 16: the White House the person who was responsible for taking
Speaker 16: those rights away and restoring them. But that message obviously
Speaker 16: was not enough to get enough white women to vote
Speaker 16: for Vice President Harris, a fellow woman. This would be
Speaker 16: the second opportunity that white women in this country have
Speaker 16: to change the way that they interact with the patriarchy.
Speaker 1: And yeah, you stupid, stupid white North Carolina women.
Speaker 2: How dairy? Just oh is that what they're running right now?
Speaker 14: Russ?
Speaker 2: Do you have Ario? What do you have an ril
Speaker 2: on in your studio? I don't know why you do that.
Speaker 4: T have worked in here like five years.
Speaker 1: Oh that's a good point, all right. So, uh so
Speaker 1: this is the spy report I'm getting so on ari l.
Speaker 1: They're doing a segment ways to manage overwhelming emotions about
Speaker 1: the election. But they brought in grief counselors.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean half the god and I know you
Speaker 4: saw this. People were saying this, You're gonna have half
Speaker 4: the country's going to have like this mental episode because
Speaker 4: they don't realize it. For what over ten years they've
Speaker 4: been propagandized to by by the media.
Speaker 1: They have no idea that yeah, yeah, I guess oh wait,
Speaker 1: oh wait, hold on?
Speaker 2: What is this guy's name? Jammel? I'll see what he
Speaker 2: has to say? Hello, sir, how.
Speaker 21: Are you watch.
Speaker 5: Way? Chase?
Speaker 2: Oh? I remember you? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Hey?
Speaker 2: Hey, how you doing today?
Speaker 9: Hello?
Speaker 2: Hello?
Speaker 4: Hello?
Speaker 5: Can you hear me?
Speaker 2: I can hear you?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 5: How you see what's going on? What's going on? Case?
Speaker 5: See what's going on with you? How are you doing
Speaker 5: this morning?
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm here so you know, like that, I'm
Speaker 1: listening to some people having some big, big emotions.
Speaker 2: That's what we're doing.
Speaker 5: Well, you know what case number one, I am said,
Speaker 5: what happened to Mark Robinson? Because that was dirty, rotten,
Speaker 5: scoundrel trick. What happened to him? I am sad about
Speaker 5: what happened tomorrow, That's number one. I'm sad about that,
Speaker 5: But I'm celebrating because of this. Will people stop saying
Speaker 5: people had to hold their nose to vote for Donald Trump.
Speaker 5: People didn't have to hold their nose to vote for
Speaker 5: Donald Trump.
Speaker 24: People didn't believe the lies they were telling. It's like here,
Speaker 24: people say, oh last night.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, the people who voted for Donald Trump.
Speaker 5: I guess they're nos.
Speaker 24: No, people didn't believe or not see stuff. Then people
Speaker 24: didn't believe the racist stuff. People didn't believe it, and
Speaker 24: the media still.
Speaker 5: Listen and enjoy reading. It's wat women, Paul, That's the
Speaker 5: same thing they said where Trump beat Hillary. People just
Speaker 5: have to accept it. It's the quality of the woman
Speaker 5: that you are running.
Speaker 1: Look, I'm happy to acknowledge that I had some deep
Speaker 1: concerns that we'd be doing this show this morning, and
Speaker 1: we'd know almost nothing. And I think if some of
Speaker 1: the networks had their druthers, that's where we would be.
Speaker 1: But it just became too much. But this morning, I
Speaker 1: was the first thing I did, when I know I've
Speaker 1: talked about it, if I get up, I actually get
Speaker 1: out of bed on that lazy go see what's on
Speaker 1: the phone, grab the iPad, cruse there's some news, and
Speaker 1: then you know, get up and start the day and
Speaker 1: you're ready for our little busy broadcast. But I was
Speaker 1: blown away knowing what I did know obviously with you know,
Speaker 1: what the networks were doing to see like local news
Speaker 1: stations still not calling it, still not calling it when
Speaker 1: I don't know, kind of clear to most folks. The
Speaker 1: problem was most of those folks don't work necessarily in
Speaker 1: the media. And I think that there was a perfect storm,
Speaker 1: still a perfect storm of people that were much more
Speaker 1: plugged in. The GOP really put in a priority at
Speaker 1: the national level on having their attack. You know, they're
Speaker 1: Mark Elias is. Hopefully they're a lot more honest than
Speaker 1: Mark Elias. But having those folks there and when Shenanigans arose,
Speaker 1: they were addressed, they were publicized and addressed. And those
Speaker 1: are important because now you have it's not just you
Speaker 1: who see something wrong and lawyer, and you know a
Speaker 1: lot of people won't find out about it. That stuff
Speaker 1: was getting put out there. People were aware. People who've
Speaker 1: never been to the state of Pennsylvania were able to name.
Speaker 2: Election officials at the drop of the hat.
Speaker 1: They were that plugged into this stuff, and it is
Speaker 1: going to be spun as they intimidated people, You're going
Speaker 1: to start seeing those stories come out. Oh well they
Speaker 1: were intimidating. Well what were they intimidating from doing. If
Speaker 1: a guy's about to do something illegal or just really
Speaker 1: stupid that could possibly compromise it, and you shame him
Speaker 1: out of it, I don't think that's intimidation. I think
Speaker 1: that's accountability. But you know, Tomato, tomato and all that.
Speaker 1: All right, let's let me grab a call here and
Speaker 1: we've got some more audio coming up, Emmanuel, thanks for
Speaker 1: hanging on.
Speaker 2: What's up?
Speaker 25: Hey, Good morning, tom Just once a number one. I'm
Speaker 25: very happy excited that I'm putting a Trump one. However,
Speaker 25: not relief. I think there's a lot of a lot
Speaker 25: of things that are going to come their way. I
Speaker 25: don't think the big Blue machine is done, you know,
Speaker 25: I mean, we.
Speaker 19: Saw it the first time around.
Speaker 25: But also more importantly, I think if the Democrats, it's
Speaker 25: important people to realize that the Democrats would have spent
Speaker 25: less time trying to prop up Biden and make us
Speaker 25: believe he was well, and less time shoving Kamala, who
Speaker 25: nobody voted for it, down our throats, and if they
Speaker 25: would have invested in a real, actual candidate, they would
Speaker 25: have most likely won a very close race. And I
Speaker 25: think that that's something to be very aware of and
Speaker 25: kind of weary of over the next four years, or
Speaker 25: how much they're going to try to bring him down
Speaker 25: again and how much they're going to use that to
Speaker 25: help swing it very violently back towards blue when we're
Speaker 25: doing this again in the next four years. And then,
Speaker 25: you know, it's scary when when something with so much
Speaker 25: power and influences as the Democrat Party has and the
Speaker 25: money they have, when they know that their backs against
Speaker 25: the wall, they're going to come back hard, and that
Speaker 25: really does make me a little nervous and uneasy for
Speaker 25: the next four years. And hopefully the Republican Party understands
Speaker 25: how much work they have to do and how much
Speaker 25: they really need to prove that this is the way
Speaker 25: market needs to go for the you know, foreseeable future.
Speaker 1: Jell, you know what, let me let me agree with you.
Speaker 1: I think that's a very good point. But I think
Speaker 1: there's two things. One, you're right one hundred percent, but
Speaker 1: there's going to there's gonna be this pause because remember
Speaker 1: how remember how the donors got really skittish with the
Speaker 1: transition to Kamala and then they were kind of drug
Speaker 1: and shamed into it. Those folks are not going to
Speaker 1: be opening their checkbooks right away. They they'll probably come
Speaker 1: around to it, but it's gonna be a little while
Speaker 1: because they felt bamboozled. And and but when you're bamboozling billionaires,
Speaker 1: some of them get really upset about it. And the
Speaker 1: second thing is this to your point about continued attack, Yes,
Speaker 1: I agree, But one of the concerns that I saw
Speaker 1: stated yesday, which made me laugh, is that Trump, if
Speaker 1: he wins. This was prior to to the announcement, but
Speaker 1: they said if Trump wins, not he's going to go
Speaker 1: into office with the mandate that he's unaccountable. Well, one,
Speaker 1: you've always accused him, but two per perhaps The reason
Speaker 1: you're concerned that if something comes up, the American public
Speaker 1: isn't going to believe you is because of the wave
Speaker 1: you've acted for ten years. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: Like they're bemoaning their own self inflicted wounds, which I
Speaker 1: find amusing in its stupidity. But yeah, we shall see,
Speaker 1: and we'll see if the GOP at the state level
Speaker 1: probably needs some work, but definitely at the national level
Speaker 1: they continue to do the good things that you saw yesterday.
Speaker 1: It's a very difficult blockade, or as the Democrats and
Speaker 1: media would say, it's a very important fortification. Right, So
Speaker 1: we'll see. Manuel really appreciate the call this morning.
Speaker 2: Good stuff.
Speaker 1: Oh wait, hold on, here's Janet to speak on behalf
Speaker 1: of women?
Speaker 2: All right, whatever, what's up?
Speaker 3: Skip?
Speaker 9: It was a white woman's style. That's what happens when
Speaker 9: you start thinking we.
Speaker 17: Do we're told?
Speaker 2: Well, you feel you were being lectured to?
Speaker 4: Janet?
Speaker 2: Is that what I is?
Speaker 16: That?
Speaker 2: What I'm understanding here? Is that what I'm picking up?
Speaker 2: It'll be Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 9: They was talking about how my man was telling me
Speaker 9: what to do. Hey, I don't need a man, be
Speaker 9: I don't let anybody tell me what to do he
Speaker 9: to vote for any of that.
Speaker 2: I've got my own. What if there's a spider.
Speaker 9: Though, well then Lord be with it, calls you and
Speaker 9: I what, oh no, all right.
Speaker 2: What if you need to lift something heavy? I got
Speaker 2: a covered okay. What if you need to get at
Speaker 2: Mason jar open get to the good stuff?
Speaker 9: I got that covered too.
Speaker 2: Oh all right, Well that's it. That's all the stuff
Speaker 2: we're good for. So I believe you. Yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 2: didn't need to know that.
Speaker 1: All right, good for you went to the when you
Speaker 1: the hardware store, was all right, yeah, no, it's uh.
Speaker 2: And again it's uh. And thanks for the call the
Speaker 2: janet who.
Speaker 1: That lecturing that Joy Reid take probably will irritate some women,
Speaker 1: and not because their husbands are forcing them how to vote.
Speaker 1: It's just the reality of when you do stuff like that.
Speaker 1: And then as you're pinning through there and these you
Speaker 1: had the token conservatives in some of these panels who
Speaker 1: were then trying to explain the maybe some of the reasons.
Speaker 1: And we're gonna, by the way, we're gonna get to
Speaker 1: the Trump victory.
Speaker 2: I do have it. Don't don't worry, it's coming up.
Speaker 10: Uh.
Speaker 1: Well, we'll snip into that, but you know, like the
Speaker 1: Jennings over on CNN or Hugh Hewett, we played that
Speaker 1: audio earlier. Let me play the Jennings audio. What I'm
Speaker 1: looking for when Jennings is talking here is light bulbs
Speaker 1: and on in any of.
Speaker 2: The other panelists.
Speaker 1: Are there they listening to what he's saying or are
Speaker 1: they waiting for him to be done saying it? And
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Ross, you just dubbed this in against You
Speaker 1: got the freshest eyes on it.
Speaker 2: Do you think they were lists? Oh, Ross's screening the call.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you this, if you approach it like
Speaker 1: that and you look at it, nobody's listening to what
Speaker 1: he's saying. They're clearly waiting for him to be done
Speaker 1: saying it so they can say whatever they want to say,
Speaker 1: which is, you know, said some people who don't. I
Speaker 1: find myself doing that on the radio. But I'm working
Speaker 1: against the clock. This is their fellow panelists. And let
Speaker 1: me tell you he's he's he's speaking some truth here,
Speaker 1: or at the very least, he's speaking some pretty solid
Speaker 1: theories that you might want to consider if you work
Speaker 1: on CNN.
Speaker 26: Interpreting the results tonight as the revenge of just the
Speaker 26: regular ole, working class American, the anonymous American who has
Speaker 26: been crushed, insulted, condescended to. They're not garbage, They're not Nazis.
Speaker 26: They're just regular people who get up and go to
Speaker 26: work every day and are trying to make a better
Speaker 26: life for their kids. And they feel like they have
Speaker 26: been told to just shut up when they have complained
Speaker 26: about the things that are hurting them in their own lives.
Speaker 26: I also feel like this election, as we sit here
Speaker 26: and pour over this tonight, is something of an indictment
Speaker 26: of the political information complex. I mean, we've been sitting
Speaker 26: around here for the last couple of weeks and the
Speaker 26: story that was portrayed was not true.
Speaker 4: I mean, we were told Puerto.
Speaker 26: Rico was going to change the election, Liz Cheney, Nikki Haley, voters,
Speaker 26: women lying to their husbands. Before that, it was Tim
Speaker 26: Walls and the Camo Hats. Night after night after night.
Speaker 26: We were told all these things and gimmicks were going
Speaker 26: to somehow push Harris over the line, and we were
Speaker 26: just ignoring the fundamentals. Inflation, people feeling like that they
Speaker 26: were barely able to tread water at best. That was
Speaker 26: the fundamentals of the election. But I think for all
Speaker 26: of us who cover elections and talk about elections and
Speaker 26: do this on a day to day basis, we have
Speaker 26: to figure out how to understand, talk to and listen
Speaker 26: to the half of the country that rose up tonight
Speaker 26: and said we've had enough.
Speaker 1: Yeah, those are these are Those are all very very
Speaker 1: good theories, and I happen to agree. I think most
Speaker 1: of those are probably true. And you don't have to
Speaker 1: be somebody who's just barely getting by.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie to you and say that you know, obviously,
Speaker 1: doing what I do, I've I've afforded myself to make
Speaker 1: a an increasingly better living, and I I you know,
Speaker 1: I don't have the expense of a full family. However,
Speaker 1: it hits me every time I went to Chili's the
Speaker 1: other day, the Chili's and I hadn't been there in
Speaker 1: a while, and you know, there's the little combo with
Speaker 1: the sausage and the maybe back. It's more I'm like,
Speaker 1: there's when did this cost that? And you just go
Speaker 1: online look at an image of the things and you
Speaker 1: see the old postings on there and it's up a
Speaker 1: few dollars, and you know, and is it gonna break
Speaker 1: me two or three bucks or two and a half
Speaker 1: bucks or whatever.
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 2: No, but I'm cognizant of it.
Speaker 1: And then you compound it with everything else, and you
Speaker 1: have empathy for people around you too, if the thought
Speaker 1: never enters your head. Man, two and a half dollars here,
Speaker 1: two dollars there. I was talking to a guy who's
Speaker 1: in the grocery business yesterday. He's telling me his wholesale
Speaker 1: egg prices right now because it's molting and they've had it,
Speaker 1: so get ready for this. He just found out are
Speaker 1: going to be four ninety nine a dozen wholesale. And
Speaker 1: I think to myself, I remember me starting out in
Speaker 1: this business, starting out in life, especially when you get
Speaker 1: into younger voters.
Speaker 2: That's the kind of stuff that crushes you.
Speaker 1: Man, where you start making decisions, not like should I
Speaker 1: have another cocktail or another beer, you know, stuff you
Speaker 1: can live without, but like what should I have protein
Speaker 1: available for my family today or not? I can't The
Speaker 1: protein's expensive, and I can empathize with that. I can
Speaker 1: look at that and go, that's gonna be that impacts people.
Speaker 1: We've all been there, most of us. We've all been
Speaker 1: there at some point where we're having to make those
Speaker 1: decisions where you go, I'm sorry, I work full time.
Speaker 1: How am I making this decision? And not between prime
Speaker 1: rib and some nice veal cuts, but between well, maybe
Speaker 1: if I get a little bit of that Deli chicken,
Speaker 1: I chop it up so I can have a little
Speaker 1: up and some beans and rice.
Speaker 2: That I'm making.
Speaker 1: That sticks with people, and Jennings is correct, And not
Speaker 1: a single person visually looked like they were willing to
Speaker 1: comprehend the point that he was making.
Speaker 2: All right, Wayne, what's up?
Speaker 23: Hell?
Speaker 5: You wanted to make a comment. Hey can you hear me?
Speaker 2: I can hear you, sir? Go right ahead, Hey can Jemmy? Yes,
Speaker 2: I can hear you.
Speaker 18: Okay, I wanted to make a comment. I remember before
Speaker 18: Trump ran in his first term. I remember Hillary Clinton
Speaker 18: say that we needed somebody to run this country like
Speaker 18: a business, and she specifically named Donald Trump. But I
Speaker 18: guarantee you she never thought that she would be running
Speaker 18: against him in twenty sixteen.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, did you see the picture of her standing
Speaker 1: with Bill at his wedding to Milania like they're the
Speaker 1: bestest of friends.
Speaker 2: That's that's another crazy aspect to this.
Speaker 18: Yeah, yes, I have one question, because when you got
Speaker 18: to call her a few minutes ago, that said that
Speaker 18: the Blue machine is not done. And I remember how
Speaker 18: they they went after Trump for four straight actually more
Speaker 18: than four years, because they started attacking him before he ran,
Speaker 18: attack him for the four years he was president, and
Speaker 18: they've been attacking him for four years in the in
Speaker 18: the meantime.
Speaker 23: Up to this election. I can wait.
Speaker 18: I can't wait for Trump to say you com aali,
Speaker 18: You're fired. But I want to know if if the
Speaker 18: Liberal Party, if the Liberal machine keeps attacking him the
Speaker 18: way they did when he was in his first term,
Speaker 18: what power does Trump have to stop it. I know
Speaker 18: he can't just fire anybody in the in the you know,
Speaker 18: anybody really, but what is what hit?
Speaker 4: What can he sat?
Speaker 2: He can? Sure he can?
Speaker 10: No, no, no, no, no no no.
Speaker 2: Let me give you an answer to this, sir, and
Speaker 2: I think it's probably an answer. It's going to give
Speaker 2: you more hope. Sure he can.
Speaker 1: The vast majority of people that are in these high
Speaker 1: profile positions serve at the pleasure of the president, from
Speaker 1: the FBI director to the Joint chiefs, to the UH
Speaker 1: you know, to the heads of the various departments, even
Speaker 1: down to managerial level at places like the I R S,
Speaker 1: the FBI, CIA, all of these places. Now I don't
Speaker 1: know that you get to with the CIA, and you
Speaker 1: get in some of the three letters. But but he
Speaker 1: doesn't have to worry about re election.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 1: They can scream constitutional crisis all they want, But he's like,
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do?
Speaker 2: Not reelect me?
Speaker 1: No, that's you're fired, and you're fired, and you're fired,
Speaker 1: and well.
Speaker 10: I want to.
Speaker 18: Fire like Chuck Schumer. Could he fire Chuck Schumor? Or
Speaker 18: could he?
Speaker 5: How?
Speaker 1: No, no, No, that's why we have coequal branches of government.
Speaker 1: But all the things I was just talking about the bureaucrats,
Speaker 1: which arguably are almost more injurious than Nancy Pelosi because
Speaker 1: people perceive a lot of bureaucrats is down the middle,
Speaker 1: when in reality that's not the case. I don't think
Speaker 1: anyone's making bones that Pelosi is a secret GOP plant, right,
Speaker 1: So so there's a lot of stuff that he can do,
Speaker 1: and thanks for the call there, Wayne, and he probably
Speaker 1: will do, except now when you're screaming cut constitutional crisis,
Speaker 1: because he wants to exit Comy, who clearly clearly even
Speaker 1: if he'd done if he'd done good work in the
Speaker 1: past or whatever, clearly had went in a different direction.
Speaker 2: Now he can do it. He can.
Speaker 1: He could go in the first day and fire the
Speaker 1: guy who's ahead of the FBI that he himself appointed.
Speaker 1: And it's perfectly They can follow lawsuits and cry and
Speaker 1: moan and bite their pillows and kick their feet, but
Speaker 1: it's not going to do any good. So that needs
Speaker 1: to be job number one.
Speaker 5: Go in.
Speaker 1: You got some problems. Some of the cancer is very
Speaker 1: easy to see, and start whacking. We'll be back, all right.
Speaker 1: So first off, Boston Paul, try to follow along. He's like, duh,
Speaker 1: you're talk Kobe's not the guy I was talking about
Speaker 1: when Trump fired Comy. I'm saying he could do it
Speaker 1: to Ray. Now that's the guy who appointed. So that's
Speaker 1: one number two. And one of our listeners sent this
Speaker 1: to me, what is the name? And then I just
Speaker 1: clicked off.
Speaker 2: And hang on just a sec. That's on me. I
Speaker 2: here we go.
Speaker 14: Ross.
Speaker 1: Did you see what was up with the most Hispanic
Speaker 1: county in the United States? Did you see what happened
Speaker 1: in that county?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 1: Possibly, Star County, Texas has a ninety seven percent Hispanic population.
Speaker 1: Trump won it by sixteen points.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it shouldn't be surprising to anybody who actually
Speaker 4: gives it a thought instead of just putting people in
Speaker 4: categories by identity politics.
Speaker 1: Right, when do you think the last time is a
Speaker 1: Republican won that county?
Speaker 2: This is in Texas?
Speaker 4: This is in Texas nineteen seventy two, one.
Speaker 1: Hundred and thirty years ago. Oh my god, he flipped
Speaker 1: at sixteen. He didn't flip at sixteen, right, because they
Speaker 1: were getting there. They were getting smoked in that county.
Speaker 1: I'd have to go back and look at his with
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty nine as were you want to you
Speaker 1: wanna basically almost one hundred percent Hispanic county that hasn't
Speaker 1: been won by a Republican one hundred and thirty and
Speaker 1: you won it by sixteen points.
Speaker 2: Montana flipped, man.
Speaker 1: I got some granola crunchy granola kids I went to
Speaker 1: school with who ended up Montana and Missoula like working
Speaker 1: at you know, vape shops and stuff, and they can't
Speaker 1: fathom what's happening up in Montana.
Speaker 4: I mean, if you're gonna paint with the broad brush
Speaker 4: like the Dems too, Right, Well, let's look at this
Speaker 4: target let's look at this demographic, right. They tend to
Speaker 4: be Catholic, they tend to be very religious. So maybe yeah,
Speaker 4: somebody says, you know, Jesus is lorded at a Kamala rally,
Speaker 4: and say you're at the wrong rally, or you skip
Speaker 4: the Al Smith dinner, Maybe that's gonna have a negative impact.
Speaker 4: But also yeah, because they're you know, they tend to
Speaker 4: be Catholic and very religious too. They're big into the
Speaker 4: family unit. The abortion thing and the trance stuff is
Speaker 4: not gonna help. And also three those that came here legally,
Speaker 4: what's happening at the border is incredibly insulting.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, even and that's the crazy even if it's so,
Speaker 1: this is something that was explained to me by a
Speaker 1: person who is is Hispanic?
Speaker 4: Of where is he?
Speaker 1: I think he's from Dominican Republic half of it, and
Speaker 1: then the other half's Mexico. I just want you to
Speaker 1: know the background, because there there is already a Latin
Speaker 1: American pecking order and debate. And most of it's fun,
Speaker 1: but some of it's Some of it's really weird, and
Speaker 1: I'm not part of it, so I've observed it and
Speaker 1: I think it's interesting. But was sitting there, and I'm
Speaker 1: sitting there and I'm trying to understand how that works
Speaker 1: because there are people here legally who now have family
Speaker 1: members that used all of this migrant stuff to come
Speaker 1: here illegally. And it's like, is there is there even?
Speaker 1: Like how differently do you see it? And he goes
Speaker 1: there he I don't know if I can say the word.
Speaker 1: I think it might be a slightly vulgar word. He
Speaker 1: was telling me about a nickname that he had for
Speaker 1: his cousin, who was somebody who came as part of
Speaker 1: that because he couldn't get in here legally. Like so
Speaker 1: it's it's an observable, noble thing. And I understand everybody's different,
Speaker 1: and this is just a conversation that I'm having, but
Speaker 1: it makes sense to me because you're not breaking it.
Speaker 1: You're not just going, well, he's a fellow Hispanic, because
Speaker 1: sometimes we do that stuff where we go that's a
Speaker 1: fellow Democrat or fellow Republican. People are still able to
Speaker 1: independently evaluate this stuff. And when you add the totality
Speaker 1: of everything that Ross just mentioned, and you don't think
Speaker 1: it's going to be impactful, let me tell you how
Speaker 1: injurious this is the only way if the trends continue,
Speaker 1: that the GEO or that the Dems can fight this
Speaker 1: on a national level is their only remedy, as they
Speaker 1: were talking about yesterday, where they have to turn out
Speaker 1: near one hundred percent educated white women, and if you don't,
Speaker 1: you're cooked in a lot of these places. And then
Speaker 1: you have to wonder even if a bunch of the
Speaker 1: folks who did come in under this this basic open
Speaker 1: border stuff are a to stay and eventually find themselves
Speaker 1: in a position where they you know, they're convinced they're
Speaker 1: also now part of America and this is just how
Speaker 1: it's gonna be once they start buying into that ideal
Speaker 1: and integrating within existing uh Latino communities and not just Latino,
Speaker 1: but you know a lot of it. We tend to,
Speaker 1: especially if if it's an ESL situation, it's good to
Speaker 1: be around people that you can communicate with in multiple languages.
Speaker 1: It starts to rub off man the whole concept of hey,
Speaker 1: you know what this is better look at this. We're
Speaker 1: not in Venezuela anymore cooking garbage inside upside down metal
Speaker 1: trash lids because we don't have heating fuel, and you
Speaker 1: feel pretty good about that, and then you find you
Speaker 1: find yourself right there man going you know what, Yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe the family unit is important because it basically helped
Speaker 1: me to survive this journey.
Speaker 2: You know how I feel about this.
Speaker 1: I think a lot of the folks that came here
Speaker 1: we're duped, tricked, or at the very least we're desperate
Speaker 1: enough where they said, you know, screw it, this is
Speaker 1: what I'm going to do. And I understand that feeling.
Speaker 1: It doesn't make it right, but I understand that feeling
Speaker 1: and for all of those things faith, family and many
Speaker 1: of the things that they see under attack, but also
Speaker 1: eventually to they get to the point and you can
Speaker 1: say it's a quirk and a not a good thing
Speaker 1: of human nature, but it's a reality where there's where
Speaker 1: they say, well, well, now hold on, now you're impacting
Speaker 1: my ability to find work because once again we're flooding
Speaker 1: the zone, so to speak. It's it's a pretty vicious
Speaker 1: cycle and it's one that but the true test will
Speaker 1: be what happens when it's not Trump. That'll be the
Speaker 1: true test. What baby jd Vance does well, if he
Speaker 1: becomes the heir apparent, which he probably is, I don't
Speaker 1: know the answer to that. Let me grab a couple
Speaker 1: of calls here real quick, folks, been holding Donna? You're
Speaker 1: up first.
Speaker 20: Ahead, Good morning, Casey. I'm a little a little tired
Speaker 20: this morning.
Speaker 2: Cat torturing you and wouldn't let you sleep.
Speaker 20: Or no, she's sick by the way, that sucks. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 20: she's sick from her shots. We had to take her
Speaker 20: back to the vet yesterday. So I don't know what's
Speaker 20: going on. That cost oh too much?
Speaker 2: You don't get a free replacement cat, right, No, No.
Speaker 20: There's plenty around here though if I want one, Yeah,
Speaker 20: up the street anyway. So, uh, talking about white women
Speaker 20: and women in general, which really insults me coming from
Speaker 20: the party who can't or won't even define what a
Speaker 20: woman is and every turn decides to usurp my identity
Speaker 20: as a woman with a man in the skirt. So
Speaker 20: you know, they want it both ways. It's like, Okay,
Speaker 20: they want to this a sort of women, but they
Speaker 20: want to replace us in sports and uh and make
Speaker 20: us go to the bathroom with men, you.
Speaker 1: Know, right, Yeah, so you thought you'd you'd show them
Speaker 1: what a woman is and hord cats.
Speaker 21: Huh, I hord cats?
Speaker 5: And I vote for Trump?
Speaker 18: Yeah, people get all the way down the ballot.
Speaker 1: Baby, Well, like Partey Joy Reid, you're a you're a
Speaker 1: you're a box upon society.
Speaker 27: So well, well AOC yesterday too, she she tweeted out,
Speaker 27: we ran eighty thousand elections simulations and women are first
Speaker 27: off and well organized.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then she spent the rest of the day
Speaker 1: tweeting the same thing kind of over and over. It said,
Speaker 1: it's uh, it's seventy degrees in New York today in November,
Speaker 1: and then people were pointing out that there's like two
Speaker 1: hundred days where it's been over seventy in November in
Speaker 1: New York and you know, in modern record keeping and yeah,
Speaker 1: And I think she started leaning into that because she
Speaker 1: realized she don't want to talk about the other stuff.
Speaker 2: Don I got a roll, But thank you very much
Speaker 2: for the call today. Hey, yep, yep, yep.
Speaker 1: All right, let's grab this one other call and then
Speaker 1: we'll get to the rest of the last hunter.
Speaker 2: What's up?
Speaker 21: Hey, good morning, Casey. How are you sir?
Speaker 2: I'm good, all right.
Speaker 21: I just want to let you know what was going
Speaker 21: on in Cumbling County since day one of early voting
Speaker 21: back on October seventeen. Our local GOP party leaders in
Speaker 21: this county, they really really led us down and failed
Speaker 21: at the job. We had hardly no volunteers at each site.
Speaker 21: And on the last day of voting, which was yesterday,
Speaker 21: of course, we had no poll watchers out of seventy
Speaker 21: seven site and the whole entire county on the inside.
Speaker 21: So who the hell knows what?
Speaker 2: Well you tell?
Speaker 1: Hold on, you're telling me that there wasn't a single
Speaker 1: official GOP poll watcher in all of the city of Fayetteville.
Speaker 2: You guessed it, right, Well, I didn't guess it.
Speaker 1: I'm repeating what you said because it sounded crazy to me. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that sounds like a problem, sir, Yeah, that is true.
Speaker 21: But anyway, here's some points to ponder. Back when we
Speaker 21: get a Republican governor here in North Carolina, lieutenant governor
Speaker 21: and governor always is a Democrat. And when we get
Speaker 21: a Democrat governor or Democrat president, rather we all the
Speaker 21: time get a Democrat governor and a Republican lieutenant governor.
Speaker 21: I wish Yeah, they don't good study that to me,
Speaker 21: that is flat out stupid.
Speaker 1: Well, it's a North Carolina has a history and uh
Speaker 1: and it is I believe the most prolific history.
Speaker 2: And thanks for the call. Sure of.
Speaker 1: Tickets splitting, But yeah, I know to your point, it
Speaker 1: is strong. I don't know if it's all the time.
Speaker 1: I remember reading something on this, but it is most
Speaker 1: of it, especially within modern history.
Speaker 2: But I think you can look to the uniqueness.
Speaker 1: That's why when when Dan lost, I think, really I
Speaker 1: can't speak for him, but I think the opinion within
Speaker 1: the circles trying to analyze this internally was they did
Speaker 1: a proper job of scaring the crap out of so
Speaker 1: many people. And then to test it, we took phone
Speaker 1: calls from people only, people who voted for Cooper and
Speaker 1: for Trump, and it was almost spot on what they said.
Speaker 1: We had family members who worked in the medical field,
Speaker 1: whatever it was, and they said they just couldn't because
Speaker 1: they didn't feel Dan was strong enough. It turned out
Speaker 1: Dan was right. And then you know, with Robinson, obviously
Speaker 1: they had all the CNN stuff. So I think you
Speaker 1: got to look at it individually. But yes, or it
Speaker 1: is weird. All right, real quick, let's get Ray stagic,
Speaker 1: we'll talk to Jeff and we'll come back and finish
Speaker 1: our phone calls. All right, man, give me the reader's
Speaker 1: digest breakdown version.
Speaker 14: Go ahead, Ben No, I fog a problem this morning,
Speaker 14: but it's tryad in and around that area triangle do
Speaker 14: it a little bit better. We'll go through the day
Speaker 14: and there could be some showers late today and into tonight,
Speaker 14: but the really the heaviest. It's going to be well south,
Speaker 14: could be mere record warmth and Raleigh the record eighty
Speaker 14: three going eighty two. Try it may not be quite
Speaker 14: that warm, maybe in the midnumber seventies. The triangle looks
Speaker 14: like a better chance to seeing a record. Might see
Speaker 14: some showers tonight and tomorrow. I think toward the end
Speaker 14: of the week we'll trend toward drier weather into the
Speaker 14: upcoming weekend with the next chance of showers Casey coming in.
Speaker 14: Looks like maybe by Sunday night and in a veteran's day.
Speaker 1: Okay, thank you sir, having go on with chat tomorrow
Speaker 1: and we'll come back with Jeff Bellinger next.
Speaker 28: Well, good morning, Casey. Wall Street's about to hold a party.
Speaker 28: This is going to be a good day for your
Speaker 28: four oh one k regardless of how you voted. Futures
Speaker 28: point to a Trump rally s and p futures up
Speaker 28: one hundred twenty three points. Nasdaq futures or up three
Speaker 28: hundred and fifty three. The Dow futures are up twelve
Speaker 28: hundred thirty three. Among the most active issues in pre
Speaker 28: market trading is Trump Media and Technology Group, up twenty
Speaker 28: eight percent. Tesla is up thirteen percent after owner Elon
Speaker 28: Musk went all in on his support Donald Trump, and
Speaker 28: Funwar is a Trump related mobile advertising company that stock
Speaker 28: is up twenty percent. In general, shares of fossil fuel
Speaker 28: energy companies, banks, pharmaceutical providers, prison managers, and smaller cap
Speaker 28: companies are all higher in pre market trading on expectations
Speaker 28: they will do well under a Trump administration. Did get
Speaker 28: a couple of release one report from mortgage bankers this morning.
Speaker 28: They report the average infestrate on a thirty year fixed
Speaker 28: rate mortgage rowse to six point eight one percent to
Speaker 28: last week. That's the highest since July. Number of mortgage
Speaker 28: applications fell nearly eleven percent, and Casey and Vidia rode
Speaker 28: the artificial intelligence wave to overtake Apple yesterday. And Vidia
Speaker 28: is currently the world's biggest company with a market cap
Speaker 28: of more than three point four trillion dollars, and video
Speaker 28: shares are up one percent pre market, So it looks
Speaker 28: a good day ahead on Wall Street.
Speaker 1: Case all right, well we'll talk to again tomorrow and
Speaker 1: see you then.
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, sounds good. Have a good day.
Speaker 1: There you go, Jeff Bellinger Ross the whole time Jeff's talking,
Speaker 1: this is the thought. And let me share this with
Speaker 1: the audience. At some point today you may be in
Speaker 1: a conversation with somebody, somebody who is not pleased about.
Speaker 2: What's going on.
Speaker 1: Say, you know, and and even if you just got
Speaker 1: to listen to it, but I want you to point out,
Speaker 1: as the stock ticker is available, readily available, if it's up,
Speaker 1: I want you to point out that, you know what
Speaker 1: you know, it's really crazy is how much money Trump's gonna.
Speaker 2: Make today with.
Speaker 1: All of the you know, the shares of stuff that
Speaker 1: he owns. Yeah, dude's gonna get paid today. And just
Speaker 1: drop that, don't you know, don't necessarily imply it, but
Speaker 1: that you're doing anything but observing the situation. And that's
Speaker 1: what that's like a little ear whorm man. It'll just
Speaker 1: stick and stick in their craw So we shall see.
Speaker 1: All right, let me grab a phone call here, hugs. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, what's up, hugs.
Speaker 10: By, Sir, I just wanted to take moment take can
Speaker 10: complain about our state GOP and how poorly that was
Speaker 10: managed their cycle. And last I'm an independent and I
Speaker 10: had one person knock on my door and reach out
Speaker 10: to me for a local candidate. Plenty for Trump, plenty
Speaker 10: for Democrat candidates.
Speaker 2: What townty?
Speaker 1: What county do you live in, hugs I'm in Wake County,
Speaker 1: Wake County, Okay, I mean, because that's important. Uh, there's
Speaker 1: some really really really hard working and and and well
Speaker 1: structured county. I think the honestly, I think the counties,
Speaker 1: the individual county ones are are are even more videly
Speaker 1: important than the state ones. Sometimes a lot of the
Speaker 1: state stuff gets swooped in on the FED stuff. But yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's uh. I got a thousand text messages, so I
Speaker 1: did get that.
Speaker 10: I'm glad doesn't.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: But the other thing, yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 10: The other thing I was going to point out, and
Speaker 10: I spoke to Ross about this. I'm sure Mark Robinson
Speaker 10: is a great guy. I haven't personally met him, but
Speaker 10: in a Purple State light, I was pushing so aggressively
Speaker 10: the social conservative stuff they're going to turn a lot
Speaker 10: of independence off and even a lot of more moderate Republicans,
Speaker 10: and they really feel like if he moderated that a
Speaker 10: little bit instead of complaining about medical marijuana and regalized
Speaker 10: you know, sports gambling and stuff like that, he might
Speaker 10: have performed better even despite the see it had nonsense.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, here's the thing.
Speaker 1: On the gambling. I'm not necessarily defending Mark on all
Speaker 1: this stuff. I think that I think there is some
Speaker 1: truth to that because but people will tell you, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: but then you're not motivating the really hard right people
Speaker 1: to go out. No, well you don't have to because
Speaker 1: Trump's going to do that, right, And so when they're there,
Speaker 1: When they're there, then they can go ahead and down
Speaker 1: ballot vote, even if they have to quote unquote hold
Speaker 1: their nose or however.
Speaker 2: They want to say it.
Speaker 1: But at the very least, the whether whether you believe
Speaker 1: it or not, you can evaluate that the way that
Speaker 1: they handled all of the CNN stuff was it was
Speaker 1: not handled well
