WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.200 Election Day twenty twenty, where I came on here because 2 00:00:03.240 --> 00:00:07.480 a lot of the early results looked really good for Trump, 3 00:00:07.599 --> 00:00:12.199 and I was, you know, loudly bellowing that, aha, Trump 4 00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:16.600 has won the elections. Suck it, lefties go Trump go, 5 00:00:17.320 --> 00:00:19.199 And in fact, Trump had not won the election. So 6 00:00:19.239 --> 00:00:23.239 I'm not gonna get too excited about anything. We're we're 7 00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:26.359 going to take this slow and sober. I'll be here 8 00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:32.560 with you from now until way late into the evening 9 00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:35.320 where we got John Girardi Show running six to seven, 10 00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:39.920 and then from seven PM until god knows when Trevor 11 00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:42.920 and I will be co anchoring our Power Talk election 12 00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:45.159 night coverage. So you're gonna want to stick with us 13 00:00:45.159 --> 00:00:49.759 the whole time. The polls close in California at eight o'clock, 14 00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:53.079 so from eight pm onward, we will start to have 15 00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:59.840 local stuff that's coming in all the statewide ballot initiatives, 16 00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:05.640 all of the local races for county races, state assembly races, 17 00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:10.319 state Senate races are US Senate race here in California, 18 00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:14.560 Adam Schiff versus Steve Garvey, all of that, all the 19 00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:18.079 California specific stuff will start at eight. So right now, 20 00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:23.840 for those who are just tuning in. As of right now, 21 00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:27.040 Donald Trump has amassed one hundred and ninety four of 22 00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:32.640 the two hundred and seventy needed to win Electoral College votes. 23 00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:44.840 He has won Ohio's, Virginia, South Carolina, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, 24 00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:49.640 South Dakota, North Dakota, Wyoming. As far as Decision Desk 25 00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:58.879 is concerned now. Harris meanwhile has one New York, Vermont, 26 00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:04.000 New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Virginia, which that was for 27 00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:05.560 a little while looking like that was going to be 28 00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:07.959 closed for Trump. But it sounds like the votes coming 29 00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:11.439 in are gonna be pretty heavily Harris, Maryland, and Illinois. 30 00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:16.639 Right now, still with votes to be counted, only seventeen 31 00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:21.520 percent of the votes are in. Harris is leading Pennsylvania 32 00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:24.199 with only ten percent of the votes in. Harris is 33 00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:29.560 leading Michigan with forty one percent of the votes in. 34 00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:33.520 Trump is leading North Carolina, and that's obviously North Carolina 35 00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:38.000 is a very important swing state, and with sixty six 36 00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:41.039 percent of the vote in, Trump is leading in Georgia 37 00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:45.800 and leading actually by a decent amount. Looks like he's 38 00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:48.000 up fifty two and a half to forty six point 39 00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:51.000 nine percent. In Georgia, it looks like he is up 40 00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:55.159 fifty two to forty seven percent, more or less. In 41 00:02:55.199 --> 00:02:59.199 North Carolina. Pennsylvania, it looks like it's still very early. 42 00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:02.560 It's sixty two thirty seven in favor of Paris. But 43 00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:04.319 it looks like a lot of accounting has come from 44 00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:07.039 the two ends of the state. In Pennsylvania, it's basically 45 00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:11.560 I've heard Pennsylvania be referred to as Pittsburgh on one side, 46 00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:14.120 Philadelphia on the other side, and Alabama in the middle. 47 00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:17.639 So the Alabama votes in Pennsylvania don't seem to have 48 00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:20.919 come in a lot. My buddy at Right to Life 49 00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:24.719 producer Colton was telling us earlier today that it looks 50 00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:28.400 like there are tens of thousands of Amish who were 51 00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:31.719 coming out in droves, first time Amish voters coming out 52 00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:35.719 in droves for Trump. So god knows if the whole 53 00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:41.319 election rests in the horses and buggies of the Amish. 54 00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:43.879 We will see how it goes. Now, there have been 55 00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:50.680 some kind of big news stories so far, some of 56 00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:55.520 them have to do with election vote counting snaffoos, which 57 00:03:55.599 --> 00:04:01.280 of course happened on election day in states that have 58 00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:04.520 Democrat governors. This is my big fear, by the way, 59 00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:11.240 with all this, All of the swing states except for Georgia, 60 00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:19.720 but all the other swing states Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona, Nevada, 61 00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:27.079 all of them have Democrat governors. That makes me really nervous. 62 00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:31.959 Now Georgia is a Republican governor. Georgia has actually instituted 63 00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:34.560 a lot of good election reform since the last time around, 64 00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:39.439 But all those other states have Democrat governors, and gosh, 65 00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:44.360 it makes me nervous about things. In Wisconsin, apparently in 66 00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:48.720 the city of Milwaukee, so Democrats stronghold, a Republican election 67 00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:52.079 observer saw that some kind of vote counting machine was 68 00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:56.240 not properly secured, had been kind of left unattended, and 69 00:04:56.279 --> 00:04:59.720 this is leading to a need to recount something like 70 00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:04.959 already thousand ballots which are gonna have to be recounted 71 00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:09.959 by hand now due to this security breach. Gosh, it 72 00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:14.839 seems awful suspicious. And this is, by the way, I 73 00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:16.480 talked about this on the show a couple days ago. 74 00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:21.560 All the election challenge kind of lawsuits that we've seen 75 00:05:22.199 --> 00:05:24.600 over the last week or so. Here's basically the format. 76 00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:30.120 The format is basically the American right to vote is 77 00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:34.759 go to your precinct and vote in person with a 78 00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:38.519 secret ballot. We deem that we have deemed that through 79 00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:41.720 statute to be the most secure way for people to vote. 80 00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:45.720 Everything else is sort of an extension of that basic thing. 81 00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:51.439 So with individual states, different individual states have different individual 82 00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:56.639 procedures for insurance for allowing you to vote outside of 83 00:05:56.680 --> 00:05:58.720 that context. Whether it's a vote by mail system or 84 00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:03.040 an absentee ballots system, whatever, there are different ways to 85 00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:10.800 set that up. And basically what's happened is you have 86 00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:14.639 Democrat voters who don't follow the rules, and there always 87 00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:16.720 seems to be Democrat voters for some reason, or Democrat 88 00:06:16.759 --> 00:06:20.639 leaning voters or suspiciously Democrat leaning voters. They don't follow 89 00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:26.160 the rules, they violate some kind of requirement for voting 90 00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:29.079 outside of the context of a secure, in person, secret 91 00:06:29.079 --> 00:06:33.680 ballot vote, and then they run to a judge and complain, 92 00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:37.079 how can you throw out our votes? How can you 93 00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:41.279 deny to the people the sacred American right to vote 94 00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:44.800 on the basis of this technicality. It's just one little 95 00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:48.800 signature on the outside envelope of their vote by mail ballot, 96 00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:52.680 harvested ballot. How can you deny these people the sacred 97 00:06:52.759 --> 00:06:53.279 right to vote? 98 00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:54.079 Oh just the. 99 00:06:55.800 --> 00:06:59.160 You know, the postmark on their mailed in ballot. It's 100 00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:02.439 just one day, hey late, how can you deny us 101 00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:04.879 the sacred right of oh, just on the basis of 102 00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:11.639 a technicality, And each of those cases in isolation, yeah, 103 00:07:12.199 --> 00:07:16.399 it seems in isolation to not be that big of 104 00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:19.519 a deal, and tiki taki, and then a judge gets convinced, 105 00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:22.279 oh okay, it's just at all. All, let's you count. 106 00:07:24.839 --> 00:07:30.639 But it's a denial of what the state legislature has 107 00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:34.439 adopted in order to protect the integrity of the vote. 108 00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:40.120 It's this basic, this protection that the state put in 109 00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:44.040 place to protect the vote that is not so I 110 00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:46.560 don't know. The argument that comes from left all the 111 00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:49.360 time is that they're in favor of voting rights by 112 00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:53.199 just getting rid of different kinds of election security measures 113 00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:58.319 outside of again, the gold standard that every English speaking 114 00:07:58.399 --> 00:08:05.079 country adopted after about the turn of the century, voting 115 00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:11.959 in person, secret ballot, that's at your locality, that's the 116 00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:17.959 way to do it. Everything else is an extension of that. Now, 117 00:08:17.959 --> 00:08:20.800 we just got news in that Ohio has been called 118 00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:21.600 for President Trump. 119 00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:21.920 Again. 120 00:08:21.959 --> 00:08:26.439 Not a surprise, nothing so far has been I'd say 121 00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:30.360 a huge surprise. I think there are some signs in 122 00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:34.279 lots of individual places that Trump is doing better than 123 00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:39.320 he did in twenty twenty. And frankly, if that holds 124 00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:43.279 true for like two or three states, that could be 125 00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:46.320 enough to flip the presidency. I mean, let's remember, you know, 126 00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:50.399 Trump lost the election in twenty twenty by about I 127 00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:52.600 don't know what was it, about fifty thousand votes scattered 128 00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:56.399 across about three states. You flip a few things here, 129 00:08:56.480 --> 00:09:00.240 a few things there, you changed the whole outcome. Right now, now, 130 00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:05.759 I'm looking at Decision Desk HQ, which does a lot 131 00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:08.559 of election analysis, and they're they're sort of monitoring everything, 132 00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:14.159 updating everything in real time. Right now, again, it looks 133 00:09:14.240 --> 00:09:16.240 like with forty three percent of the votes counted, Trump 134 00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:19.120 is winning North Carolina fifty two to forty seven. He 135 00:09:19.519 --> 00:09:22.480 is winning Georgia fifty two to forty seven with sixty 136 00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:25.159 eight percent of the vote in. That's really good. Basically, 137 00:09:25.159 --> 00:09:29.759 if Georgia went, If Trump wins Georgia, North Carolina and Pennsylvania, 138 00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:35.399 he wins the whole thing. If Kamala wins Wisconsin, Michigan, 139 00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:39.320 and Pennsylvania, she wins the whole thing. Those are the 140 00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:44.639 two competing strategies. Trump has basically his Atlantic Coast strategy 141 00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:48.840 and Kamala has her so called Blue Wall strategy. Although 142 00:09:49.720 --> 00:09:52.240 with some less than one percent of the vote in Okay, 143 00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:54.639 Trump's winning Wisconsin, but with less than one percent of 144 00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:59.559 the vote in so that is not super relevant. Also, 145 00:09:59.600 --> 00:10:02.039 there have been some big issues that we're gonna I'm 146 00:10:02.039 --> 00:10:07.320 gonna focus on certainly, and I might bring into the 147 00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:10.919 show my buddy who snuck in very shortly after we 148 00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:13.720 started the segment and mister Jonathan Keller from California Family Council. 149 00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:18.200 How's it going, Jonathan, Hey, John, It's going cautiously well, 150 00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:20.919 cautiously well. I saw something one of my friends posted 151 00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:26.000 on Facebook that they were nauseously optimistic, and that's kind 152 00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:29.440 of how I'm feeling. I don't know for sure if 153 00:10:29.480 --> 00:10:33.840 it is. Yeah, yeah, did you already talk about because 154 00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:35.120 I know I walked in a couple of minutes late. 155 00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:37.440 Did you already talk about the one bit of unalloyed 156 00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:37.919 good will? 157 00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:39.360 I was about to talk about that. That's why I 158 00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:41.440 was bringing you in. So the one really good bit 159 00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:47.759 of news. Florida is just basically Republican ground zero. Florida 160 00:10:47.879 --> 00:10:51.480 is like Republican Mecca at this point, I'm. 161 00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:53.840 Basically ready to say DeSantis twenty twenty eight at this point, 162 00:10:53.879 --> 00:10:56.639 I mean, regardless of what happens with this election, yeah, 163 00:10:56.679 --> 00:10:59.080 I am on board with eight. 164 00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:02.200 So among other things, it looks like Trump is going 165 00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:04.960 to win Florida by like thirteen percent of the vote. 166 00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:08.840 But also two really critical things happened. Florida had on 167 00:11:08.879 --> 00:11:15.159 their ballot two different state constitutional amendments. There's two different 168 00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:20.039 state constitutional amendments, Amendment three, which would have legalized recreational marijuana, 169 00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:24.039 and Amendment four, which would have completely legalized abortion throughout 170 00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:27.600 the state. Both of those to amend the constitution in 171 00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:31.559 Florida requires a sixty percent vote of the people, and 172 00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:36.360 it appears that they have only they have not gotten 173 00:11:36.399 --> 00:11:38.320 sixty percent of the vote. So both Amendment three and 174 00:11:38.399 --> 00:11:41.360 Amendment four in Florida were defeated. This was a big thing, 175 00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:43.519 I think, especially for the pro life movement, as you 176 00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:45.320 all know, I mean, I'm director at Right to Life 177 00:11:45.399 --> 00:11:50.320 Essentral California this is the things that I really care 178 00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:54.519 about here. For Florida to have stopped this losing streak 179 00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:56.440 that the pro life movement was on all these states 180 00:11:56.480 --> 00:11:59.919 that had ballot initiatives to legalize abortion, it was really 181 00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:04.240 important that Florida not become the next domino to fall. 182 00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:09.159 So I mean, Jonathan, I mean just the significance of this. 183 00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:12.440 I think it's hard to understate how significant it is. 184 00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:17.799 I mean, in fairness, though, fifty percent of the people 185 00:12:18.039 --> 00:12:21.360 wanted to pass legalized aborce and they didn't get to 186 00:12:21.360 --> 00:12:24.519 the sixty percent threshold. But just maybe Jonathan talking about 187 00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:26.960 the amount of money that got poured into this Florida race. 188 00:12:27.120 --> 00:12:29.080 Yeah, so I need to go back and look at that. 189 00:12:29.519 --> 00:12:31.679 But I will tell you it was the key thing 190 00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:33.320 for me and the reason why I think we saw 191 00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:38.440 this be the one that finally went down and it 192 00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:42.399 broke that it broke that streak. Just to say, John, 193 00:12:42.480 --> 00:12:44.799 I do think it's important to say if those numbers 194 00:12:44.840 --> 00:12:48.679 hold and it is only fifty seven percent, yes, that 195 00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:51.120 is horrible that, at least according to the vote, a 196 00:12:51.519 --> 00:12:54.720 majority of people did vote to amend of the constitution. 197 00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:55.399 That is awful. 198 00:12:55.519 --> 00:12:59.759 But I will also say the the key thing there 199 00:12:59.840 --> 00:13:01.639 is look at most of the other states in the nation. 200 00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:04.159 Not only did any of the other states mostly fail, 201 00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:07.240 they got blown out of the water. Like in California, 202 00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:11.200 it wasn't fifty sixty six, sixty seventy three. Even in 203 00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:15.000 Ohio it was I think fifty nine percent. So the 204 00:13:15.039 --> 00:13:17.840 fact that Florida held the line here, I think is 205 00:13:17.879 --> 00:13:21.879 a testament. Just gotta say to Ron DeSantis number one. Yeah, 206 00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:25.000 but also John the grassroots coalition they put together. I 207 00:13:25.120 --> 00:13:29.200 was chatting with some of my national colleagues. One of them, 208 00:13:29.320 --> 00:13:31.679 long story short, he just his personal friends with through 209 00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:35.200 some other avenues, with Tony Dungee, the filmer coach of 210 00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:37.159 the Colts, Indianapolis Colts. 211 00:13:36.960 --> 00:13:39.440 Who is here at the Fresno Prayer breakfastory here he was. 212 00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:41.759 He's a he's a great guy coach. Dungee's a wonderful, 213 00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:45.159 you know, Christian man. And he is also John very 214 00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:47.879 pro life. He his wife have adopted and fostered a 215 00:13:47.879 --> 00:13:51.720 whole bunch of kids. And he happens to live in Florida. 216 00:13:51.799 --> 00:13:56.600 So he came out of woodwork. He recorded multiple television 217 00:13:56.639 --> 00:14:00.759 ads opposing Amendment for and. 218 00:14:00.360 --> 00:14:04.360 But it was George Soros and all these liberal financiers 219 00:14:04.399 --> 00:14:09.159 who dumped, I mean the pro abortion side outspent the 220 00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:13.240 pro life side. I think it was ten to one. Yeah. 221 00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:14.960 And when you say that, John y, I just looked here. 222 00:14:15.039 --> 00:14:19.120 This is the most current update as of October thirty 223 00:14:19.159 --> 00:14:25.120 first opposition total contributions between cash and in kind contributions 224 00:14:25.159 --> 00:14:30.279 opposition was twelve million of twelve point one million, so 225 00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:35.080 twelve million total contributions in support one hundred and eighteen 226 00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:38.159 million dollars. Wow. So genuinely ten to one, literally ten 227 00:14:38.519 --> 00:14:42.120 or almost almost ten to one, yeah, almost on the dot. 228 00:14:42.960 --> 00:14:47.159 And that is just staggering. You just look at the 229 00:14:47.200 --> 00:14:51.120 fact that they and John you have to also think 230 00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:53.440 that is on top of the fact that the entire 231 00:14:53.559 --> 00:14:56.799 media apparatus, not just the actual cash spending. 232 00:14:56.480 --> 00:15:00.279 Oh of course the free advertising that it got the meat. 233 00:15:00.279 --> 00:15:03.600 As we're heading into break here, we've got our good 234 00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:07.919 buddy Jonathan Keller in studio. Jonathan, let everyone know about you. 235 00:15:08.080 --> 00:15:11.840 Jonathan is the CEO of California Family Counsel. That's me. 236 00:15:12.120 --> 00:15:14.279 Where can people find you in your work job so. 237 00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:16.720 They can go to our website which is just California 238 00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:21.960 Family dot oorg. Californiafamily dot org and we are a 239 00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:24.200 five oh one C three organization. So if you log 240 00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:25.840 on right now, I will tell you we are not 241 00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:29.679 going to have a lot of live up to the 242 00:15:29.720 --> 00:15:30.919 minute election results. 243 00:15:30.919 --> 00:15:33.720 Speaking though, of live up to the minute election results, 244 00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:38.159 we need like a sounder. I got to find a sounder, 245 00:15:38.240 --> 00:15:41.279 some sort of like Newsy sounding breaking news sounder. 246 00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:41.960 Uh. 247 00:15:42.480 --> 00:15:47.279 North Carolina has been called for Donald Trump with fifty 248 00:15:47.320 --> 00:15:50.919 two percent of the vote in. He is winning. Uh. 249 00:15:51.039 --> 00:15:54.080 For with fifty two percent of the vote in. Trump 250 00:15:54.200 --> 00:15:56.799 is up fifty to forty eight percent. Looks like he 251 00:15:56.879 --> 00:15:59.919 is going to win North Carolina. That is a big deal. 252 00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:05.279 North Carolina is one of the key swing states. And 253 00:16:05.320 --> 00:16:09.039 I think that's the first of kind of the canonical 254 00:16:09.320 --> 00:16:14.039 swing states. I mean that it's basically Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Nevada, Arizona. 255 00:16:14.159 --> 00:16:16.000 Those were the states that everyone said those are the 256 00:16:16.039 --> 00:16:19.039 swing states. So this is the first one to get called. 257 00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:20.799 And now who called that one? 258 00:16:20.840 --> 00:16:24.559 This is called by Decision Desk HQ. So they have 259 00:16:24.639 --> 00:16:29.039 called North Carolina for Trump. Also, it sounds like Ted Cruz, 260 00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:32.080 sounds like that has been called that Ted Cruz is 261 00:16:32.120 --> 00:16:35.000 winning re election. In Texas that had been a very 262 00:16:35.600 --> 00:16:38.000 much closer than expected. I think all of Ted Cruz's 263 00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:40.279 Senate races are closer than expected. 264 00:16:40.360 --> 00:16:42.080 But it looks like he's going to hold on it. 265 00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:46.120 Apparently it sounds like it has been called for Cruise, 266 00:16:46.200 --> 00:16:48.879 or it's leaning. Crew decision desk has not called it yet, 267 00:16:49.080 --> 00:16:51.919 but Fox News is called. Fox News is calling it 268 00:16:52.519 --> 00:16:55.000 for Ted Cruise, as we can see right there on, I. 269 00:16:54.919 --> 00:16:58.440 Have some big news for you, John, Yes, CBS exit 270 00:16:58.480 --> 00:16:59.440 poll in Michigan. 271 00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:02.399 Exit polls. All right. I know this is just everyone, 272 00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:05.920 remember exit polls. Take them with a big old grain 273 00:17:05.960 --> 00:17:08.079 of salt. This is true, all right, But this is 274 00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:12.799 I think why it's key. Specifically, quote younger voters age 275 00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:16.759 eighteen to twenty nine, John, those zoomers, this gen z 276 00:17:16.960 --> 00:17:19.519 kidd all those kids, those utes, Yeah. 277 00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:22.960 Are narrowly going for Trump in Michigan. 278 00:17:23.240 --> 00:17:23.839 Wow. 279 00:17:23.920 --> 00:17:27.319 The deficit for Harris is a large part to younger 280 00:17:27.359 --> 00:17:29.680 men in Michigan who are more for Trump. 281 00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:33.880 Wow. Now Michigan at the moment is thirteen percent in 282 00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:36.200 Harris is winning fifty three to forty four as far 283 00:17:36.200 --> 00:17:43.440 as what's actually reported. But I have been thinking throughout that, 284 00:17:44.160 --> 00:17:47.680 and I've talked about this a bit on right to life. 285 00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:49.519 If I talk about the right selfe for right maybe 286 00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:53.240 I've just talked about it to Colton and Jonathan, so 287 00:17:54.039 --> 00:17:56.839 I have it for the podcast. A lot of Trump's 288 00:17:57.119 --> 00:18:01.160 media strategy during this election, in particular, seems to have 289 00:18:01.200 --> 00:18:07.960 been focused on podcasts and podcasts with very heavy concentrations 290 00:18:08.400 --> 00:18:17.880 of young male listeners. Theo, Von Joe, Rogan, Logan, Paul, 291 00:18:19.160 --> 00:18:22.400 all these different guys who that there their listenership is 292 00:18:22.559 --> 00:18:27.000 dudes under the age of thirty. Yes, And now that 293 00:18:27.640 --> 00:18:30.440 kind of strikes me as a risky strategy. Those are 294 00:18:31.720 --> 00:18:34.000 I can't think of anyone who's a lower propensity voter 295 00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:37.559 than a male between the ages of eighteen and twenty five. 296 00:18:38.400 --> 00:18:42.039 You know, they're not always super organized, they're not always 297 00:18:42.039 --> 00:18:45.079 got their crap together. Oh it's election to Oh gosh, 298 00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:47.799 he goes to go to go vote. Not exactly the 299 00:18:47.799 --> 00:18:51.240 most reliable voters in the world. But I mean, to 300 00:18:51.319 --> 00:18:56.079 have some shift in the under thirty voting pool away 301 00:18:56.240 --> 00:19:00.279 from you know, Biden in twenty twenty and towards Trump, 302 00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:03.119 I mean, that could be a really significant development. So 303 00:19:03.279 --> 00:19:05.680 I have thought throughout the election that that was a 304 00:19:05.720 --> 00:19:08.640 really smart move by Trump, wondering if that's going to 305 00:19:08.680 --> 00:19:09.920 be born out. I guess we will see. 306 00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:12.519 And I do think it's interesting John that Trump himself, 307 00:19:12.559 --> 00:19:15.240 in some of his interviews with Tucker Carlson and other people, 308 00:19:15.799 --> 00:19:19.119 he flatly admitted that, you know, he has a eighteen 309 00:19:19.200 --> 00:19:21.640 year old young man in his life that was giving 310 00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:22.440 him advice. 311 00:19:22.680 --> 00:19:26.640 Yeah, which which smart. I mean, that's smart. Yeah, And 312 00:19:27.240 --> 00:19:30.279 I do think it's interesting. I think it's fascinating how 313 00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:33.440 like going on Joe Rogan has become like a thing. 314 00:19:34.279 --> 00:19:40.119 You know, it's more so than traditional media sit down interviews. 315 00:19:40.279 --> 00:19:42.319 I mean, how many more millions of people were going 316 00:19:42.400 --> 00:19:44.960 to listen to the you know, Joe Rogan's podcast rather 317 00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:47.200 than you know, some sit down he does with George 318 00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:51.039 Stephanopolis or somebody like that. So it I think that's 319 00:19:51.079 --> 00:19:56.039 been really fascinating to see. Again, North Carolina has been 320 00:19:56.160 --> 00:19:59.079 called for Donald Trump. That's the first of the swing 321 00:19:59.119 --> 00:20:03.359 states to actually get called. And John, I feel like, 322 00:20:04.400 --> 00:20:07.640 I don't know, but Georgia, I feel like is about 323 00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:10.359 to be called for Trump. I feel like it it's 324 00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:14.160 I can't say that definitively. I'm not some election expert 325 00:20:14.319 --> 00:20:20.519 or anything like that. And but with seventy two percent 326 00:20:20.599 --> 00:20:22.640 of the vote, and Trump is winning fifty two point 327 00:20:22.759 --> 00:20:26.599 four to forty seven percent in Georgia. That would be 328 00:20:26.640 --> 00:20:30.920 another huge domino to fall if Trump wins. And that's 329 00:20:30.920 --> 00:20:34.599 a big margin too. I mean that's over five percent. 330 00:20:35.319 --> 00:20:37.480 He's winning right now in Georgia. Maybe that's gonna narrow, 331 00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:40.440 but that's significant. That feels significant to me. 332 00:20:40.480 --> 00:20:43.119 Well, I think the key reason John, why North Carolina 333 00:20:43.279 --> 00:20:46.119 is is very important because I've been talking to all 334 00:20:46.160 --> 00:20:49.960 my liberal friends. I've got folks, my my election brain trust, 335 00:20:50.039 --> 00:20:52.160 all my liberal friends that I chat with online. They 336 00:20:52.759 --> 00:20:55.599 they really thought that Harris had a strong shot at 337 00:20:55.599 --> 00:20:59.079 getting North Carolina. Yeah, And I think their thought was 338 00:20:59.200 --> 00:21:01.759 not only because of the African American vote there, but 339 00:21:01.799 --> 00:21:05.440 also because there is what they call the research triangle 340 00:21:05.480 --> 00:21:09.400 down there, all these universities that are full of highly. 341 00:21:09.200 --> 00:21:14.640 Educated unc waye Forest. Yeah, John gurlready here breaking down 342 00:21:14.680 --> 00:21:19.599 all the live election results. California has still not closed 343 00:21:19.640 --> 00:21:21.720 the polls yet, so we're not going to have any 344 00:21:21.839 --> 00:21:25.359 local stuff until later on tonight, starting at seven, Trevor 345 00:21:25.400 --> 00:21:28.359 Carey and I will be here with tal Cloud and 346 00:21:28.359 --> 00:21:31.039 a bunch of other guests breaking down all the election 347 00:21:31.119 --> 00:21:33.759 results as they come in, So stick around from seven 348 00:21:33.799 --> 00:21:37.680 PM until the bitter end, as we will be breaking 349 00:21:37.720 --> 00:21:42.240 it all down. Now we're obviously the presidency is the 350 00:21:42.240 --> 00:21:46.960 big prize of the night, but one of the other 351 00:21:47.000 --> 00:21:50.519 significant things to think about is Congress. Okay, a third 352 00:21:50.559 --> 00:21:53.200 of the US Senators are up for reelection, and every 353 00:21:53.200 --> 00:21:55.279 member of the House of Representatives is up for reelection. 354 00:21:55.880 --> 00:21:59.960 And it looks like both Rick Scott is going to 355 00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:04.000 hold onto his Republican Senate seat in Florida and Ted 356 00:22:04.119 --> 00:22:07.000 Cruz is going to hold onto his Republican Senate seat 357 00:22:07.400 --> 00:22:12.920 in Texas. Coupling that with Jim Justice has been elected 358 00:22:13.039 --> 00:22:17.119 to replace Joe Mansion in West Virginia, so a Republican 359 00:22:17.160 --> 00:22:20.279 pickup there, and almost certainly there's going to be another 360 00:22:20.319 --> 00:22:23.640 Republican pickup in Montana where John Tester looks like he's 361 00:22:23.680 --> 00:22:27.319 going to lose. So again, I can't one hundred percent 362 00:22:27.359 --> 00:22:31.079 confirm this, but it looks like Republicans are in fact 363 00:22:31.839 --> 00:22:37.079 going to take the US Senate. Now, Jonathan Keller from 364 00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:39.640 California Family Council, what does that mean that Republicans take 365 00:22:39.640 --> 00:22:42.079 the Senate? So as far as the big picture of 366 00:22:42.599 --> 00:22:45.759 even if everything else goes to Helen a handbas Yes, 367 00:22:45.799 --> 00:22:49.799 I will if Kamala wins the White House, Democrats take the. 368 00:22:49.759 --> 00:22:52.839 House, I will say, John, I put this down on paper. 369 00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:56.200 I was ranking the six possible outcomes of you know, 370 00:22:56.839 --> 00:23:00.160 those three different chambers, and who wins the presidency, who 371 00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:03.680 wins the House, who wins the Senate, and obviously the best, 372 00:23:03.920 --> 00:23:06.960 the best outcome, speaking in my personal capacity, not as 373 00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:08.880 a C three executive direction. 374 00:23:09.119 --> 00:23:11.759 This is the John Show. No one speaking, Nobody cares 375 00:23:11.799 --> 00:23:13.920 about that, no one speaking in their three capacities here. 376 00:23:13.960 --> 00:23:18.200 Obviously, the best situation would be for Trump to win 377 00:23:18.359 --> 00:23:20.359 and to have both the House and the Senate. I 378 00:23:20.359 --> 00:23:22.279 think the second best would be for Trump to win 379 00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:25.279 and for him to at least have the Senate so 380 00:23:25.319 --> 00:23:27.119 he can confirm Supreme Court justices. 381 00:23:27.240 --> 00:23:27.359 Right. 382 00:23:27.599 --> 00:23:31.119 But I would actually say, John, this this situation of 383 00:23:31.279 --> 00:23:34.799 Republicans picking up the Senate, it's a big deal. Even 384 00:23:34.839 --> 00:23:38.559 if Kamala wins, as long as the Republicans hold the Senate, 385 00:23:38.599 --> 00:23:41.000 I would actually say that is the third best outcome. 386 00:23:41.400 --> 00:23:43.559 So we are we are right now. The worst we 387 00:23:43.640 --> 00:23:47.319 can do is third third as far as all the outcomes. 388 00:23:47.759 --> 00:23:49.480 And the reason for that, John, is that if you 389 00:23:50.559 --> 00:23:55.079 if Kamala wins, and let's say Republicans held onto the 390 00:23:55.079 --> 00:23:58.920 House but Democrats held onto the Senate, Yes, it would 391 00:23:58.920 --> 00:24:01.200 mean that there wouldn't be any legislation that would get past. 392 00:24:01.319 --> 00:24:02.920 But everything that is. 393 00:24:02.960 --> 00:24:08.519 The most every Kamala Harris judge she wants confirmed, Every 394 00:24:09.319 --> 00:24:12.839 Kamala Harris appointee gets confirmed without any you push back, 395 00:24:12.920 --> 00:24:15.279 you know, you know, well, we'll keep getting our Javier 396 00:24:15.359 --> 00:24:19.000 Vassira quality people. Uh, you know, Javier gets nominated by 397 00:24:19.039 --> 00:24:22.160 Biden to run HHS. Oh oh, and he gets confirmed 398 00:24:22.200 --> 00:24:24.920 with no pushback because why well because Democrats. 399 00:24:24.559 --> 00:24:26.559 Had How would you like to no, no, no, you want 400 00:24:26.599 --> 00:24:30.160 to talk about the new National Secretary of Transgender Healthcare? 401 00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:32.400
