00:02:16CALLS COME IN. WE'RE UP TO NOW.
00:02:1912 FLIPS IN THE HOUSE. DEMOCRATS ONLY NEEDED TO NET THREE.
00:02:23REPUBLICANS DON'T HAVE A SINGLE FLIP TO THEIR NAME. AS OF NOVEMBER 4th.
00:02:26>> ALL RIGHT. LIVE ON OUR SCREEN
00:02:28FROM THE TALARICO HEADQUARTERS

00:02:33JAMES TALARICO, THE SENATE
00:02:36CANDIDATE, TO DELIVER HIS
00:02:39VICTORY REMARKS TONIGHT. JAMES TALARICO, WHAT DO YOU THINK HE'S GOING TO SAY TO THIS
00:02:43NATIONAL AUDIENCE. >> THAT TEXAS HAS TURNED BLUE,
00:02:47THAT WE HAVE DONE THIS? I MEAN,
00:02:50HE IS ONE OF ANOTHER TREND I'M WATCHING IS YOU HAVE A LOT OF
00:02:53DEMOCRATS OF FAITH THAT HAVE WON
00:02:57TONIGHT WITH WITH ADAM HAMILTON
00:02:58IN KANSAS, WITH JAMES TALARICO, A PRESBYTERIAN SEMINARIAN, SOMEONE LIKE ROB SAND THAT
00:03:02REALLY EMBRACES HIS FAITH. UM, I DON'T KNOW WHERE WE ARE WITH
00:03:06LIKE, THE ARKANSAS HOUSE RACES AND DIFFERENT THINGS, BUT THERE
00:03:09ARE SOME OTHER PASTORS THAT ARE RUNNING HAVE RUN THERE. BUT I
00:03:13MEAN, I I'M REALLY WATCHING HOW
00:03:17DEMOCRATS HAVE REALLY EMBRACED THEIR FAITH AND TALKED ABOUT THEIR CHRISTIANITY THIS CYCLE.
00:03:20>> ALL RIGHT. WHAT DO YOU THINK JOHN CORNYN IS THINKING RIGHT
00:03:23ABOUT NOW?
00:03:26>> HE IS BREAKING INTO THE, UH, THE BEST BOTTLE OF TEXAS BOURBON
00:03:30THAT HE HAS BEEN PREPARING A BIG
00:03:32I TOLD YOU SO, BUT I DON'T EVEN
00:03:34KNOW IF HE COULD HAVE WITHSTOOD THIS TYPE OF BLUE TSUNAMI THAT
00:03:38WE'RE SEEING. >> AND JOHN CORNYN, THOUGH, HAD
00:03:41WARNED ABOUT RUNNING THE
00:03:46ATTORNEY GENERAL, KEN PAXTON, FOR, UH, THIS THIS SENATE SEAT. >> RIGHT. AND IT LOOKS LIKE KEN
00:03:50PATS IS ON HIS WAY TO HISTORIC SHELLACKING HERE WITH ABOUT 70%
00:03:53OF THE VOTE IN. AND JAMES TALARICO IS UP BY ABOUT 20
00:03:57POINTS. NOW, IN THIS TYPE OF ENVIRONMENT, JOHN CORNYN MIGHT
00:04:00HAVE MADE THIS CLOSER, MAYBE WITHIN TEN POINTS.

00:04:27>> ALMOST $600 MILLION SPENT.
00:04:30HOW DID THE CANDIDATES DO RAISING MONEY IN TEXAS?
00:04:34>> JAMES TALARICO DID A GREAT JOB RAISING MONEY.
00:04:37>> KEN DAVID, SHUSTER'S BACK. DAVID IS FROM REBEL HQ, UH, AND
00:04:40WE'RE GOING TO GET INTO MORE OF THE NUMBERS AND MORE OF THE
00:04:44IMPLICATIONS. FIRST, LET ME READ ALL THESE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE THAT
00:04:46JUST JOINED ON YOUTUBE. MEREDITH JENSEN, DBS TWO, THREE, FOUR X
00:04:50VICTOR S C KELLY BOKER, JOHN I,
00:04:54WADE REED HANNIGAN, MANCHESTER
00:04:56RED SEALY. I THINK I READ THOSE
00:04:59507 MORAN AND BERNARD FRANCIS. SO YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING. WE LOVE YOU. YOU MAKE THIS SHOW
00:05:03POSSIBLE. UH, SO THE MEMBERSHIP
00:05:06IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO US. YOU COULD HIT THE JOIN BUTTON BELOW

00:05:14UH, YOU CAN ALSO GO TO TT.COM/SUPPORT TO HELP US KEEP
00:05:18THE SHOW ON THE AIR. LOOK WHO WAS STRAIGHT WITH YOU ALL
00:05:21THROUGHOUT WRIGHT. WHO TOLD YOU WHEN THE DEMOCRATS WERE DOWN AND WHEN THEY'RE UP, WHEN THE
00:05:25REPUBLICANS WERE GOING TO WIN, WHETHER WE LIKED IT OR NOT, WHEN
00:05:27THEY WERE GOING TO LOSE? UH, WHO
00:05:30HAD A GOOD BEAT ON WHERE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WERE GOING TO GO AND WHICH WAY THESE ELECTIONS
00:05:34WERE GOING TO GO. YOU THE REASON WHY WE TELL YOU THINGS AHEAD OF
00:05:37TIME, INCLUDING MY PREDICTIONS, IS SO THAT YOU KNOW WHO TO
00:05:41TRUST. DO WE KNOW WHAT WE'RE DOING? DO WE ANALYZE IT? RIGHT?
00:05:45IT'S EASY TO BE MONDAY MORNING QUARTERBACK, BUT IT'S NOT EASY
00:05:48TO GET IT RIGHT AHEAD OF TIME. AND SO THAT'S WHY I LOVE YOU
00:05:52GUYS FOR SUPPORTING OUR SHOW AND
00:05:54FOR, UH, AND FOR BEING OUR, YOU
00:05:57KNOW, OUR BACKBONE AND, AND MAKING SURE THAT WE ALWAYS STAND
00:06:00UP STRAIGHT FOR YOU AND FOR ALL OF, NOT JUST OUR VIEWERS, BUT
00:06:03ALL THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. UH,
00:06:05SPEAKING OF EXCUSES, AFTERWARDS,
00:06:09UH, DAVID TRUMP WAS JUST ON FOX
00:06:11NEWS AND, UH, HE'S SAYING, OH,
00:06:13NO, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, UH, YOU KNOW, UNDERSTAND WHY I HAD TO GO
00:06:16TO WAR WITH IRAN AND WHY THAT MAKES SENSE. AND THE AMERICAN
00:06:20PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THIS. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT. BUT HE SOUNDED SUPER DEPRESSED,
00:06:24AND HE KEPT SAYING, WELL, I HAVE THE VETO, I HAVE THE VETO. AND
00:06:27HE'S LIKE, I KNOW SOME DEMOCRATS, I DEMOCRATS LIKE ME,
00:06:30DO THEY? >> I MEAN.
00:06:32>> HE'S GOT TO BE COMPLETELY FLUMMOXED AND BEWILDERED, RIGHT?
00:06:35THIS IS REALITY CRASHING IN ON HIM IN A WAY THAT EVEN I THINK A
00:06:38LOT OF REPUBLICANS AROUND HIM DIDN'T THINK IT WAS GOING TO BE THIS BAD. I MEAN, LOOK AT JUST
00:06:42LOOK AT TEXAS. I MEAN, TALARICO
00:06:45IS WHAT HE'S GOING TO BEAT
00:06:47PAXTON BY NEARLY 20 POINTS. GREG ABBOTT IS LOST. HINOJOSA BY 19
00:06:51POINTS. I MEAN, TEXAS IS A STATE. I THINK YOU GUYS HAVE MENTIONED. I MEAN, DEMOCRATS
00:06:55HAVEN'T WON STATEWIDE THERE IN 38 YEARS. DEMOCRATS HAVE NOT WON
00:06:59STATEWIDE IN KANSAS IN 94 YEARS. AND THEY JUST CAPTURED A SENATE
00:07:03SEAT. I MEAN, THE NUMBERS ARE JUST ASTOUNDING. AND THESE ARE RACES THAT ARE NOT CLOSE. I
00:07:06THINK THE CLOSEST SENATE RACE WE HAVE RIGHT NOW IS, YOU KNOW,
00:07:09SHERROD BROWN HAS ALREADY BEEN DECLARED THE WINNER IN OHIO. SO
00:07:13THESE MARGINS ARE JUST WELL BEYOND, I THINK, WHAT EVEN REPUBLICANS HAD FEARED THEY
00:07:16MIGHT BE. AND FOR DONALD TRUMP, IT'S GOING TO BE ABSOLUTELY BEWILDERING. I WILL SAY THE ONE
00:07:20THING THAT I'M GRATEFUL FOR, JACK, AND THAT IS IF YOU GO BACK
00:07:23TO WHERE WE WERE SIX MONTHS AGO, I THINK THERE WERE A LOT OF US
00:07:26WHO HAD LEGITIMATE FEARS ABOUT WHETHER THE VOTE WOULD GO IN CLEANLY, WHETHER THERE WOULD BE
00:07:30ICE AGENTS OR NATIONAL GUARD INTIMIDATING PEOPLE AT THE
00:07:34POLLS. WE WERE ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT WHETHER MIKE JOHNSON AND
00:07:37OTHERS WOULD ACTUALLY ACKNOWLEDGE THE RESULTS THEY HAVE. AND IT SEEMS LIKE DONALD
00:07:41TRUMP, FOR NOW, IS ACKNOWLEDGING THE RESULTS, IN PART BECAUSE THERE'S I MEAN, THE RACES ARE
00:07:45JUST NOT CLOSE. IT IS SUCH AN
00:07:49OVERWHELMING SHELLACKING THAT IT'S NOT LIKE HE CAN PICK OUT ONE RACE HERE, ONE RACE THERE AND SAY, I DEMAND A RECOUNT, OR
00:07:52THE DEMOCRATS RIGGED IT. IT IS
00:07:55JUST IT IS THAT OVERWHELMING? >> YEAH. SO, BY THE WAY, DAVID,
00:07:59GREAT POINT. I HAD FORGOTTEN THAT. I MEAN, REMEMBER WHEN WE WERE SO WORRIED ABOUT, ARE THEY
00:08:03GOING TO TRY TO PUT ICE AGENTS
00:08:06AND BULLY AND INTIMIDATE PEOPLE AT THE POLLS? AND ARE THEY GOING
00:08:09TO TRY TO RIG THE ELECTION
00:08:11SOMEHOW IN ALL SERIOUSNESS, LIKE
00:08:15WE THOUGHT THE ELECTIONS WERE PRETTY SOUND IN AMERICA, BUT YOU
00:08:18NEVER KNOW FOR SURE. BUT HERE IT IS. THE REPUBLICANS WERE FIRMLY
00:08:21IN CHARGE. THE MOST CORRUPT PRESIDENT WE'VE EVER HAD. AND
00:08:25THE ELECTIONS APPEAR TO BE SQUEAKY CLEAN. SO THAT'S A
00:08:28BEAUTIFUL DAY IN AMERICA FOR OUR DEMOCRACY, NO MATTER WHO WINS.
00:08:31SO THAT'S A TERRIFIC POINT. JOHN, DID YOU WANT TO SAY SOMETHING?
00:08:33>> YEAH. I MEAN, WE SHOULD REMEMBER THAT DONALD TRUMP DID
00:08:37TRY TO DO A LOT OVER THE LAST SIX MONTHS OR SO WHEN IT COMES
00:08:40TO MAIL BALLOTS. ABSOLUTELY. Bs VOTER FRAUD INVESTIGATIONS. AND
00:08:44THANKFULLY, THE JUDICIARY HAS HELD STRONG AGAINST THAT OVER
00:08:46AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN, EVEN RECENTLY, WE DID A RUNDOWN OF
00:08:50ALL THE DIFFERENT STATE LEVEL LAWSUITS THAT HE AND THE GOP
00:08:53HAVE LAUNCHED ON TDR. THIS MORNING. HIS ATTEMPTS TO TRY TO
00:08:57PRE STOP MARY PELTOLA FROM WINNING IN ALASKA. JUDGE, KNOCK THAT DOWN. KNOCK DOWN A LOT OF
00:09:00MAIL BALLOT STUFF. THAT'S IMPORTANT. AND LET'S JUST
00:09:03REMEMBER, WE WEREN'T BEING HYSTERICAL WHEN WE WERE TALKING
00:09:06ABOUT ICE AT POLLING PLACES. STEVE BANNON WAS DOING SHOWS
00:09:10ABOUT THAT FOR A SOLID YEAR. SO IT IS GOOD THAT APPARENTLY THE
00:09:13WIN IS SO OVERWHELMING THAT THEY CAN'T DENY IT. AND THAT'S SORT
00:09:17OF WHAT WE SAID WE WOULD NEED. AND SO I'M GLAD THAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, CAME
00:09:21THROUGH AND THAT THE POLLS ENDED UP BEING ACCURATE.
00:09:24>> SO GO AHEAD. >> I WAS GOING TO SAY THE OTHER THING IS, YOU KNOW, THE MARGIN OF VICTORY. I MEAN, CAN YOU
00:09:28IMAGINE WHAT'S, YOU KNOW, WHAT THEY'RE WAKING UP IN, IN EUROPE
00:09:30NOW, THEY'RE ALREADY UP IN THE MIDDLE EAST. AND WHEN PEOPLE ARE
00:09:33WAKING UP AND SEEING THE RESULTS THAT THE DEMOCRATS TAKE THE HOUSE, THE DEMOCRATS TAKE THE
00:09:37SENATE, THE DEMOCRATS KNOCK OUT ALL THESE GOVERNORS, AND THAT
00:09:39THE MARGINS ARE SO OVERWHELMING
00:09:42THAT THERE'S NOTHING DONALD TRUMP OR HIS REPUBLICAN SYCOPHANTS CAN DO. I THINK THE
00:09:46IMPACT THAT THIS IS GOING TO HAVE, NEVER MIND JUST IN THE UNITED STATES, BUT AROUND THE
00:09:49WORLD, IT'S SORT OF A SENDS A
00:09:51CLEAR MESSAGE THAT THE UNITED STATES HAS HAD ENOUGH OF DONALD
00:09:55TRUMP THAT WE'RE WE'RE NOT AS STUPID OF A COUNTRY AS I THINK SO MANY PEOPLE HAD THOUGHT WE
00:09:59WERE FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS, FOR REELECTING DONALD TRUMP, THAT
00:10:01THERE'S EVEN A LIMIT TO WHAT AMERICANS WILL TOLERATE. AND TO
00:10:05YOUR POINT, JOHN, THIS IS A. YOU
00:10:06KNOW, DONALD TRUMP HAS STARTED A
00:10:10NEEDLESS WAR. AMERICANS ARE PAYING THROUGH THE NOSE FOR DIESEL AND GAS AND THE ECONOMY AND THE AFFORDABILITY CRISIS,
00:10:14THE CORRUPTION FROM DONALD TRUMP WITH HIS FAMILY MEMBERS, AND CONNECTIONS TO QATAR AND SAUDI
00:10:18ARABIA, GOES ON AND ON AND ON. AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE SAID THE
00:10:21NUMBER ONE AND NUMBER TWO ISSUE
00:10:24WAS THE ECONOMY AND CORRUPTION. AND DEMOCRATS CAME OUT IN OVERWHELMING NUMBERS, AND
00:10:28REPUBLICANS STAYED HOME IN HUGE NUMBERS. AND THE VERDICT IS
00:10:32PERFECTLY CLEAR. AND I THINK THE MESSAGE THIS SENDS TO THE REST
00:10:34OF THE WORLD MAY BE JUST AS
00:10:37POWERFUL AND SYMBOLIC AS WHAT WE'RE SEEING HERE IN THE UNITED STATES. >> YEAH.
00:10:41>> A CALL. YEP. >> UH, THIS I DON'T THINK PEOPLE HAVE THOUGHT THIS WOULD
00:10:44BE CLOSE FOR SOME TIME, BUT AT ONE POINT, IT WAS CONSIDERED THAT. PENNY, PENNY FLANAGAN MIGHT HAVE HAD A LITTLE BIT OF
00:10:48TROUBLE AGAINST MICHELE TAFOYA IN MINNESOTA, BUT THAT HAS NOW
00:10:51BEEN CALLED. AND IT'S, YOU KNOW, 11.5 POINT VICTORY.
00:10:55>> SO IT WAS NOT CLOSE. AND
00:10:56PEGGY FLANAGAN WAS THE MORE
00:11:00PROGRESSIVE SLASH POPULIST
00:11:04CANDIDATE WITHIN THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY. AND SO SOME PEOPLE CAUGHT FEELINGS ABOUT HER
00:11:07WINNING THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY. AND AS USUAL, MAINSTREAM MEDIA
00:11:10HAD THEIR NONSENSE LINE ABOUT,
00:11:11OH, YOU KNOW, CAN SHE, UM, UH,
00:11:15WIN THE GENERAL ELECTION? CAN THESE PROGRESSIVES WIN THE
00:11:18GENERAL ELECTION? WELL, THAT
00:11:19JURY HAS COME IN, AND IT'S COME
00:11:23IN RESOUNDINGLY. THE ANSWER IS YES. THEY CAN EASILY WIN GENERAL
00:11:26ELECTIONS. SO PUT ANOTHER ONE ON THE BOARD FOR MINNESOTA.
00:11:30AWESOME. LOVE IT. UH, SO
00:11:33THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF DIFFERENT CONSEQUENCES THAT FLOW FROM THIS. DAVID, TO YOUR POINT
00:11:37ABOUT THE WORLD WAKING UP AND GOING, WHAT'S NEXT? LIKE BOTH
00:11:41BEING SURPRISED AND, AND OF COURSE, CURIOUS ABOUT WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT. SO NOW
00:11:45I'M GOING TO GET TO THE DEMOCRATS IN A SECOND. BUT
00:11:47TRUMP, ACCORDING TO SENATOR CHRIS MURPHY, ACCORDING TO
00:11:51HIMSELF, HE DIDN'T SAY DEFINITIVELY, BUT HE SAID IT
00:11:55MIGHT A GIANT ATTACK ON IRAN MIGHT BE COMING RIGHT AFTER THE
00:11:59MIDTERM ELECTIONS. ONE OF THE THINGS I WAS WORRIED ABOUT IS THAT HE'S GOING TO WANT TO CHANGE THE HEADLINES. HE'S NOT
00:12:03GOING TO WANT TO GET EMBARRASSED AND HAVE PEOPLE TALKING DAY
00:12:06AFTER DAY AFTER DAY ABOUT HOW HE
00:12:08GOT CLOWNED, RIGHT? SO, BUT ON
00:12:11THE OTHER HAND, THIS WAS A
00:12:13GIGANTIC MANDATE. WE DO NOT WANT THE WAR. AND I BROUGHT UP
00:12:17SENATOR CHRIS MURPHY BECAUSE HE SAW THE INTELLIGENCE BRIEFING
00:12:20AND SAID, THEY'RE PLANNING A GIANT THIRD ROUND OF THE WAR. SO
00:12:23WHAT DO YOU THINK HAPPENS IN THAT DIRECTION?
00:12:26>> I THINK THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NO WAY THAT EVEN DONALD TRUMP AND HIS WHITE HOUSE CAN NOW MOVE
00:12:30FORWARD WITH THEIR PLANS TO RESTART THE BOMBING OR THE
00:12:33MISSILE STRIKES. I MEAN, ALL ALONG, FOR THE LAST, WHAT, 4 OR 5 MONTHS, THE DEAL HAS BEEN
00:12:37CLEAR. THE UNITED STATES IS
00:12:38GOING TO HAVE TO ALLOW IRAN TO CHARGE SOME TOLLS FOR THE
00:12:42TRAFFIC TO GET THROUGH THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ, AND MAYBE THAT WILL KICK UP THE PRICE OF
00:12:45GASOLINE BY A QUARTER A GALLON FOR WHAT WE'RE GOING TO PAY.
00:12:50BUT I THINK THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS GOING TO HAVE TO EAT THAT. THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO EAT THAT AS A LOSS IN
00:12:53ORDER TO REOPEN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ, GET GAS PRICES DOWN.
00:12:56THAT'S THE DEAL THAT IRAN APPARENTLY IS WILLING, IN
00:12:58ADDITION TO UNFREEZING SOME OF
00:13:01THE IRANIAN ASSETS, IT SORT OF GETS BACK TO THE MEMORANDUM OF
00:13:05UNDERSTANDING THAT DONALD TRUMP FLOATED A COUPLE MONTHS AGO. I THINK THAT'S WHERE THIS IS
00:13:08GOING TO EVENTUALLY GET BACK TO. AND THEN MAYBE DONALD TRUMP TIES
00:13:12IN WITH IRAN. I LOOK, MAYBE THERE'S, YOU KNOW, >> AGREEMENT WITH SAUDI ARABIA AND THE OTHER PARTNERS IN THE
00:13:16REGION, BUT I DON'T SEE ANY WAY, ANY WAY IN HELL. I MEAN,
00:13:20LOOK, I'VE BEEN I'VE BEEN WRONG BEFORE ABOUT DONALD TRUMP, AND I'LL PROBABLY BE WRONG
00:13:23AGAIN. BUT AT THIS POINT, GIVEN
00:13:26THE SHELLACKING IN THE MANDATE, IF DONALD TRUMP STARTS UP, YOU
00:13:29KNOW, THE KINETIC ACTION, AS THEY CALL IT, THE FIRING OF
00:13:32MISSILES AND BOMBS, MAKES IT EVEN MORE HORRIFYING OVER THE
00:13:36NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS OR WEEKS THAN IT ALREADY HAS BEEN. HE
00:13:40JUST IS JUST GOING TO ACCELERATE. I THINK, THE IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS AGAINST
00:13:43HIM EVEN FASTER. AND YOU'RE ALREADY LOOKING AT PETE HEGSETH,
00:13:47IS PROBABLY GOING TO HAVE TO EITHER BE REMOVED FROM OFFICE VOLUNTARILY, OR HE'S GOING TO
00:13:51BE IMPEACHED WHEN THE HOUSE COMES BACK. AND EVEN IN THE LAME DUCK SESSION WITH TOM MASSIE'S
00:13:55ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT AGAINST HEGSETH HEGSETH GOOSE IS COOKED.
00:13:58AND SO I JUST I JUST THINK THE PENTAGON IS IN SUCH DISARRAY,
00:14:01AND THEY'RE ALREADY THE REPORTS
00:14:03ABOUT, YOU KNOW, RANCOR IN THE RANKS AND, AND THE GENERALS AND
00:14:06EVERYTHING THAT THERE'S I JUST DON'T SEE ANY WAY THAT THE
00:14:09TRUMP ADMINISTRATION, AT THIS POINT CAN DECIDE, OKAY, WE'RE
00:14:12JUST GOING TO ACCELERATE THINGS AGAINST IRAN. I THINK THEY'RE
00:14:16GOING TO TRY TO TAKE THE DEAL. IRAN, IF THEY'RE SMART, WILL
00:14:19PROBABLY OFFER, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING SIMILAR TO THE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING THAT
00:14:22WE HAD. AND, AND TRUMP WILL WALK AWAY AND SAY, HA, THIS IS THE
00:14:25NINTH WAR THAT I BROUGHT PEACE TO, OR WHATEVER CLAIM HE'S
00:14:28GOING TO MAKE. HE'LL CLAIM THE BEST POSSIBLE THING ANYWAY, EVEN IF THE REST OF US LOOK AT THE
00:14:32FINE PRINT AND SEE, OH, WELL, NOW THE UNITED STATES IS GOING
00:14:36TO GIVE IRAN $300 BILLION AND LET THEM CHARGE TOLLS AND
00:14:39EVERYTHING ELSE.
00:14:41>> OKAY, BEFORE WE GO ON. YOU'VE GOT TO CALL. AND I'VE GOT A CALL.
00:14:45>> I DON'T HAVE A CALL. I MEAN, I'VE SEEN THAT THE MAIN IS INCHING MORE AND MORE LIKELY TO
00:14:49TROY JACKSON BEING CALLED. BUT.
00:14:51SO WE HAVE A GOOD IDEA THAT THE SENATE THE SENATE IS GOING FOR THE DEMOCRATS. WE DON'T KNOW
00:14:55EXACTLY HOW IT'S GOING TO BREAK DOWN IN TERMS OF THE NUMBERS, BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE ALASKA YET. BUT WE ALSO, IT'S HARDER
00:14:59TO GET A FEEL FOR HOW BIG THE
00:15:01HOUSE MAJORITY IS GOING TO BE. AND ACCORDING TO EVAN REYNOLDS,
00:15:05ELECTION DATA REPORTER FOR THE
00:15:07NEW YORK TIMES. SO I HAD PREDICTED 235 WAS MY GUESS, AND
00:15:11I THOUGHT, MAYBE I'M BEING A LITTLE BIT AMBITIOUS. YOU CAN
00:15:14ONLY SWING SO MUCH WITH TRIBAL
00:15:17GERRYMANDERING. UH, THEIR NEEDLE
00:15:20CURRENTLY FAVORS THE DEMOCRATS
00:15:22IN 254 HOUSE SEATS. ANYTHING
00:15:25ABOVE 257 WOULD BE THE LARGEST MAJORITY FOR EITHER PARTY IN
00:15:28MORE THAN 30 YEARS.
00:15:31>> WOW. SO I SAID 242 AT THE
00:15:33BEGINNING OF THE NIGHT, AND IT
00:15:36WAS PAST THE COOK REPORTS. 240 SO I THOUGHT I WAS BEING REALLY
00:15:39BOLD BY GOING PAST ANY OTHER
00:15:41PREDICTION. BUT IF IT. 254 IS
00:15:44WHERE WE'RE AT, IF THINGS HOLD.
00:15:48OH, MAN. I MEAN, IF I SAID, JOHN, A COUPLE HOURS AGO WHEN WE
00:15:51STARTED, IF I SAID 254, YOU'D
00:15:53SAY, COME ON, JAKE, THAT IS BEYOND ALL BOUNDS OF REASON.
00:15:56>> YOU SAID 50, YOU SAID 56 OR
00:15:5957. AND I DID SAY, I THOUGHT THAT WAS TOO BOLD. >> YEAH. ABOUT THE ABOUT THE
00:16:03SENATE. YEAH. OKAY. SO, UH, EVEN
00:16:05THOUGH IT HAS NOT TECHNICALLY
00:16:07BEEN CALLED, IT IS A 99%
00:16:10REPORTING. HE HAS A BIG ENOUGH LEAD. HE HAS DECLARED VICTORY,
00:16:13AND SO HAS THE DCCC THAT IS IN
00:16:17CHARGE OF THE DEMOCRATIC, UH,
00:16:21ELECTIONS IN THE HOUSE. RICHARD
00:16:23OJEDA HAS WON IN NORTH CAROLINA.
00:16:25NINE. DOWN GOES RICHARD HUDSON, DOWN GOES RICHARD HUDSON.
00:16:29>> REBEL HQ ON THE WAY TO THE U.S. HOUSE
00:16:33>> EXACTLY. SO IF YOU GUYS DON'T KNOW, RICHARD OJEDA HAS
00:16:36BEEN A HOST ON REBEL HQ, ALONG
00:16:38WITH DAVID SHUSTER FOR YEARS
00:16:41NOW. SO, DAVID, I'M NOT SAYING YOU'RE NEXT.
00:16:43>> NO, I'M NO. BUT RICHARD, RICHARD, AS YOU AS YOU GUYS
00:16:47KNOW, RICHARD IS A GREAT GUY. NOT ONLY IS HE, YOU KNOW, GREAT, GREAT BROADCASTER AND HE'S DONE
00:16:51WELL WITH THESE VIDEOS AND FACEBOOK AND YOUTUBE. HE'S ALSO
00:16:54HE'S JUST A GREAT GUY, SERVED IN THE MILITARY. I MEAN, HE'S BEEN THROUGH A LOT OF STUFF IN
00:16:58HIS LIFE. UM, I MEAN, HE IS I'M JUST SO HAPPY FOR THE GUY THAT
00:17:02IS JUST, THAT'S JUST SO WONDERFUL. >> YEAH. AND HE, HE'S A, I
00:17:05MEAN, HE'S LIKE AN OLD SCHOOL TOUGH GUY. AND, AND THE REASON
00:17:08WHY THAT MATTERS IS BECAUSE IF
00:17:11LEADERSHIP WANTS TO PUSH AROUND
00:17:14THE, THE NEW DEMOCRATIC HOUSE
00:17:18MEMBERS, UH, THEY NEED, THEY
00:17:21NEED NOT DARKEN RICHARD'S DOORSTEP. RIGHT. SO HE'S NOT
00:17:25GOING TO STAND FOR THAT. AND GOD, I'M SO EXCITED ABOUT THAT.
00:17:28AND GUYS, HERE'S IMPORTANT
00:17:31CONTEXT. SO, UH, RICHARD HUDSON
00:17:36WAS THE NRCC CHAIR HE WAS IN. THEY THOUGHT HIS SEAT WAS SO
00:17:40SAFE, THEY MADE HIM IN CHARGE OF
00:17:43WINNING THE HOUSE RACES FOR THE REPUBLICANS IN THIS CYCLE. IN
00:17:47THE HOUSE, HE WAS THE NUMBER ONE REPUBLICAN IN CHARGE OF THESE
00:17:50CAMPAIGNS. OKAY. AND SO THE FACT
00:17:55THAT HE LOST DEEP IN NORTH
00:17:57CAROLINA RED DISTRICTS, EVERYONE
00:17:59ON EARTH THOUGHT IT WAS NOT
00:18:02POSSIBLE, EXCEPT RICHARD OJEDA
00:18:05AND KARA EASTMAN AND MYSELF AND
00:18:07MARIE NEWMAN AT REBELLION PACK.
00:18:10AND WE THOUGHT THAT OJEDA COULD
00:18:12WIN. AND HE DID WIN, AND HE DID
00:18:15WIN. WE RAN TWO SETS OF ADS. WE HAD FIVE CANDIDATES. THEY ALL
00:18:18WON, INCLUDING JOSH TUREK. WE DID DIFFERENT THINGS FOR EACH OF
00:18:22THE CANDIDATES. I WISH WE'D DONE MORE BECAUSE WE'RE SO
00:18:25LIMITED ON RESOURCES. BUT
00:18:27REBELLION PACK.ORG. BUT BOY, DID WE PUNCH ABOVE OUR WEIGHT. I
00:18:30MEAN, $1,000 AD THAT WOUND UP
00:18:32BEING THE MOST SEEN AD, PROBABLY IN THE CYCLE. THAT WAS FOR THE
00:18:36MICHIGAN RACE. BUT IN NORTH CAROLINA, WE ALSO RAN ADS
00:18:39AGAINST RICHARD HUDSON. SO THAT WAS THE ONLY THE SECOND RACE
00:18:42THAT WE RAN ADS ON. AND BOTH OF
00:18:45THOSE WERE EFFECTIVE. REBELLION PACK.ORG. THE REBELLION IS RIGHT
00:18:49HERE, RIGHT NOW. AND SO THE FACT
00:18:51THAT RICHARD HUDSON, HE'S ONE OF THE MOST CORRUPT MEMBERS OF
00:18:55CONGRESS, IS AWESOME, LET ALONE OJEDA WINNING. AND YES, SINCE,
00:18:59UM, IN, IN MINNESOTA, AIPAC WAS
00:19:02INVOLVED. AND FLANAGAN ONE ANOTHER. AIPAC TEARS MUG GOES ON
00:19:06THE DESK. THESE ARE JUST FOR THE SENATE. OTHERWISE, I'D LOVE TO
00:19:08PUT MORE UP. I CERTAINLY WOULD
00:19:11FOR OJEDA. HE WAS WAY OUTGUNNED ON MONEY, BUT HE WAS NOT
00:19:15OUTGUNNED ON SPIRIT AND FIGHT ON
00:19:17HIM. AND THAT'S WHY HE WON. I LOVE IT, I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF
00:19:20IT. YES. SO, JOHN.
00:19:23>> JUST SMALL UPDATES, NEW YORK
00:19:24TIMES. IT IS STILL MICHIGAN IS
00:19:271.4 POINTS SEPARATING THEM AT
00:19:2950%. BUT THE NEW YORK TIMES HAS
00:19:32UPGRADED EL-SAYED TO VERY LIKELY TO WIN GREATER THAN 95% CHANCE.
00:19:35HE WAS AT 90 BEFORE. >> YEAH. SO, LOOK, A LOT OF
00:19:38FOLKS AT HOME, I SAW A COUPLE OF MESSAGES ARE A LITTLE WORRIED.
00:19:40OH, THAT RACE LOOKS SO CLOSE. CAN YOU PULL IT OUT? BUT THAT'S
00:19:44BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT WE KNOW THAT YOU GOT TO WATCH THE YOUNG TURKS COVERAGE. YOU KNOW,
00:19:47THIS IS THAT THE REMAINING
00:19:50COUNTIES ARE VERY MUCH ON ABDUL
00:19:52EL-SAYED SIDE. HEAVILY DEMOCRATIC DETROIT, DETROIT,
00:19:55OBVIOUSLY, IS THE BIGGEST ONE. BUT ALSO DEARBORN, MICHIGAN,
00:19:58THAT HASN'T COME IN YET. >> YEAH. >> I HAVE A SENSE HE MIGHT WIN.
00:20:01DEARBORN. MAYBE BY A DECENT MARGIN. >> AND THEN MAINE HAS BEEN
00:20:05UPGRADED TO JACKSON IS ALMOST
00:20:07CERTAIN TO WIN EVEN HIGHER THAN ABDUL EL-SAYED.
00:20:11>> OH, BEAUTIFUL. BEAUTIFUL. AND BY THE. >> WAY, THE SWEEP IS ON. >> AS WE TALKED ABOUT EARLIER IN
00:20:15THE SHOW, UH, THE EXIT POLLING
00:20:18SHOWS OVER 60% OF JEWISH AMERICANS IN MICHIGAN VOTED FOR
00:20:22ABDUL EL-SAYED. OKAY, SO THAT TALKING POINT ABOUT NO JEWISH
00:20:25VOTERS ARE GOING TO SUPPORT, UH, GOING TO ABANDON THEIR
00:20:28DEMOCRATIC POLICY POSITIONS AND GO OVER TO ROGER WICKER JUST
00:20:32BECAUSE OF THE ISSUE OF ISRAEL. THAT'S WHAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT
00:20:35NONSTOP. WE SAID THAT ISN'T TRUE, THAT, IN FACT, I THINK
00:20:38IT'S NEARLY A DUAL LOYALTY TROPE. AND WE SAW THE NUMBERS
00:20:42NATIONWIDE. WE REPORTED A THOUSAND TIMES. 61% OF JEWISH
00:20:46AMERICANS BELIEVE THAT ISRAEL HAS COMMITTED WAR CRIMES. 63%
00:20:49BELIEVE THAT ARE AGAINST THE CURRENT GOVERNMENT. AND THERE IT
00:20:51IS AGAIN, OVER 60% VOTING FOR ABDUL EL-SAYED. SO PLEASE, THE
00:20:55REST OF THE MEDIA, CAN YOU STOP
00:20:59ASSUMING FACTS ABOUT JEWISH AMERICANS THAT ARE NOT TRUE, NOT
00:21:02IN EVIDENCE, AND STOP SPEAKING
00:21:05FOR THEM WHEN THEY CAN SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES PERFECTLY WELL IN
00:21:07THESE ELECTIONS? AND THEY JUST
00:21:09DID. YEAH. ALL RIGHT. DAVID, UM,
00:21:13LET'S TALK ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS NEXT. UH, SO WE TALKED ABOUT THE
00:21:16WAR. NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP. SO
00:21:20NORMALLY THEY LOVE TO DO THE
00:21:21STATUS QUO. OKAY, GREAT. WE WON,
00:21:24BUT STEADY AS WE GO. YOU KNOW,
00:21:27NOT TOO MUCH CHANGE. THAT'S NOT
00:21:29TENABLE, IS IT? THEY'VE GOT TO
00:21:31DELIVER ON 2 OR 3 SIGNIFICANT PROMISES. UH, OTHERWISE THEY'RE
00:21:35GOING TO GET THE SAME TREATMENT TWO YEARS FROM NOW.
00:21:38>> YEAH. I MEAN, THE ONE THING THAT I KEEP HEARING FROM DEMOCRATS IN WASHINGTON IS IF
00:21:42YOU, IF YOU GO BACK AND YOU REMEMBER THIS FROM LIKE 20 YEARS
00:21:44AGO, REMEMBER WHEN OBAMA AND RAHM EMANUEL HAD TO CHOOSE, DO
00:21:47THEY DO HEALTH CARE FIRST? DO I DO SOMETHING ELSE? DO THEY DO
00:21:51THE ECONOMIC RESCUE FIRST? YOU CAN ONLY DO ONE THING AT A TIME. THE THING THAT DEMOCRATS, I
00:21:55THINK, HAVE TAKEN AWAY FROM THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS THAT, PARTICULARLY NOW IN THIS
00:21:59INTERNET AGE, WHERE EVERYTHING MOVES SO QUICKLY AND PEOPLE CAN DO SO MANY THINGS
00:22:02SIMULTANEOUSLY, THE DEMOCRATS HAVE GOT TO COME OUT OF THE GATE
00:22:05VERY FAST AND DO SEVERAL BILLS
00:22:08AT ONCE. SO THERE'S GOT TO BE THE ANTI-CORRUPTION BILL. THERE'S GOT TO BE THE VOTE ON
00:22:12THE THOMAS MASSIE ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT AGAINST HEGSETH. THERE'S GOT TO BE A ROLLBACK
00:22:15VOTE ON THE MEDICAID, MEDICARE CUTS FROM THE BIG, BEAUTIFUL
00:22:19BILL THAT TRUMP AND THE
00:22:19REPUBLICANS PASSED. THERE'S GOT
00:22:23TO BE LEGISLATION TO TAX THE BILLIONAIRES AND PUT THAT IN PLACE. ELIZABETH WARREN HAS SOME
00:22:25SENATE BANKING REFORM STUFF THAT'S READY TO GO. SO THE
00:22:28POINT IS THAT DEMOCRATS HAVE THE
00:22:31VOTES, OBVIOUSLY, TO GET THINGS THROUGH THE HOUSE VERY QUICKLY
00:22:34AND TO BRING THINGS TO THE FLOOR TO THE SENATE, BECAUSE IF THEY
00:22:37END UP WITH 56, 57 SENATE VOTES,
00:22:40YOU ONLY NEED 60 TO ACTUALLY BRING SOMETHING TO THE FLOOR AND HAVE A VOTE AND BREAK CLOTURE.
00:22:44SO PICK UP MURKOWSKI. WHO KNOWS WHERE FETTERMAN IS GOING TO BE, BUT THE PRESSURE IS ON
00:22:48REPUBLICANS, AND I DON'T THINK ANY SENATE REPUBLICAN, ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT ARE THAT
00:22:52ARE UP FOR REELECTION IN 2028, WANTS TO BE THE ONE WHO'S
00:22:55STANDING IN THE WAY OF A VOTE ON
00:22:59ANTI-CORRUPTION BILLS OR ANYTHING ELSE. SO THE MESSAGE THAT I KEEP HEARING IS, LOTS OF
00:23:03BILLS. VERY QUICKLY, DON'T WORRY ABOUT WHETHER DONALD TRUMP IS GOING TO VETO THEM, GET THEM
00:23:06THROUGH THE HOUSE AND THE SENATE, KICK THEM TO DONALD TRUMP, AND THEN SEE IF YOU CAN
00:23:10SOMEHOW COME OVER, GET OVER HIS VETOES WITH THE THEORY THAT ON
00:23:12SOME OF THESE THINGS, I THINK THEY'LL GET SOME REPUBLICAN SUPPORT, OR MAYBE EVEN DONALD
00:23:16TRUMP WILL DECIDE TO CUT A DEAL HIMSELF. SO THE IDEA IS MOVE
00:23:20VERY QUICKLY. THAT'S ON THE LEGISLATIVE SIDE, ON THE
00:23:23OVERSIGHT ASPECT TO IT
00:23:25OBVIOUSLY, INVESTIGATIONS INTO
00:23:28THE TRUMP PARDONS, THE PAY FOR PLAY SCHEMES. THERE'S A LOT OF TALK IN THE HOUSE OVERSIGHT
00:23:32COMMITTEE. THEY'VE ALREADY STARTED REACHING OUT IN TERMS OF
00:23:35THE CROWDSOURCING CITIZEN JOURNALISTS LIKE ELLIE LEONARD
00:23:38AND SOME OF THE REST WHO HAVE BEEN GOING THROUGH THE EPSTEIN FILES AND CATALOGING EVERYTHING.
00:23:42THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN THEM TO TRY TO MAKE SURE THAT THE HOUSE
00:23:46OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE STAFF IS READY TO GO, TO START GOING
00:23:49THROUGH THE EPSTEIN FILES, KEEPING. KEEP IN MIND THAT UNDER
00:23:52THE REPUBLICAN OVERSIGHT LED COMMITTEE, PEOPLE CAME IN FOR INTERVIEWS VOLUNTARILY RELATED
00:23:56TO THE EPSTEIN SCANDAL AND SOME OF THE KEY PLAYERS WHO KNOW ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN
00:24:00DONALD TRUMP AND JEFFREY EPSTEIN NEVER WENT UNDER OATH. WELL, THAT'S GOING TO CHANGE. I THINK
00:24:04ROBERT GARCIA, WHO'S GOING TO BE, STANDS TO BE IN CHARGE OF THE HOUSE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE,
00:24:07HAS ALREADY SAID LAWYER UP TO A LOT OF REPUBLICANS IN THE TRUMP
00:24:11ADMINISTRATION. I THINK THEY WILL START WITH VERY AGGRESSIVE SUBPOENAS, INVESTIGATIONS, AND
00:24:15SORT OF SEE WHERE THE EVIDENCE LEADS. THEY WON'T PUT A VOTE ON
00:24:18TRUMP'S IMPEACHMENT OR ON THE EPSTEIN STUFF IMMEDIATELY, BUT
00:24:22THEY WILL START INVESTIGATIONS VERY QUICKLY, WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY GETTING OFF TO A
00:24:25FAST START IN JANUARY. OVER A
00:24:28LOT OF THE ANTI-CORRUPTION LEGISLATION AND THE EFFORTS TO
00:24:30TRY TO ROLL BACK THE POWER OF THE BILLIONAIRES AND THE
00:24:33OLIGARCH CLASS. >> SO I HAVE SOME THOUGHTS ON THAT, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE JOHN'S GOT SOME NEWS.
00:24:37>> YEAH, THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL CALL, BUT SUSAN COLLINS HAS
00:24:40CALLED TROY JACKSON TO CONCEDE.
00:24:42HIS CAMPAIGN HAS SAID DOWN GOES
00:24:46COLLINS.
00:24:46>> DOWN GOES SUSAN COLLINS. DOWN
00:24:50GOES SUSAN COLLINS. >> A LITTLE BIT. >> OF JUSTICE. >> WEIGHED. >> UH, YEAH.
00:24:54>> RIGHT. I MEAN, THE, THE, THE DEMOCRATS, THEY'VE HELD ALL
00:24:57THEIR OWN TERRITORY. THEY HELD MINNESOTA HELD, GEORGIA HELD. LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE GOING TO HOLD
00:25:01MICHIGAN WITH ABDUL EL-SAYED.
00:25:02THEY'RE PICKING UP MAINE, IOWA,
00:25:06SOUTH CAROLINA, TEXAS, OHIO. >> KANSAS, IOWA.
00:25:09>> THAT'S SIX WRIGHT UH, SEVEN
00:25:11MISSISSIPPI, I GUESS, IS STILL
00:25:14KANSAS, BUT KANSAS EIGHT. ALASKA. COULD BE. I MEAN, YOU'RE
00:25:17LOOKING RIGHT, YOU KNOW, RIGHT THERE. THAT'S THE DEMOCRATS
00:25:19GOING FROM 47 TO POSSIBLY 56.
00:25:23>> YEAH. I MEAN, I HAD IT AT 55
00:25:25AND THEY MIGHT REACH 55. AND 55 WAS CONSIDERED OUTRAGEOUS. I
00:25:29THINK THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAD IT HIGHER THAN ME WAS RYAN GRIM AT 57.
00:25:32>> OH, WOW. >> SO AND BY THE WAY, THERE IT
00:25:35IS. RYAN. ANOTHER POPULIST. OKAY. AND THAT GIVES YOU A
00:25:38BETTER BEAT ON THE PEOPLE BECAUSE WE'RE TRYING TO
00:25:41REPRESENT THE PEOPLE. SO I LOVE THAT. >> YEAH. I MEAN, LOOK, IF YOU'RE
00:25:44GOING REALLY BROAD, YOU CAN SAY WE CAME UP SHORT IN FLORIDA, BUT
00:25:47I DON'T THINK MOST PEOPLE THOUGHT THAT THERE WAS REALLY A
00:25:51CHANCE OF THAT. AND IT WAS WAY CLOSER THAN THE POLLS THOUGHT.
00:25:54UH, IN MISSISSIPPI. >> AND WE PICKED UP SOUTH CAROLINA.
00:25:57>> AND SOUTH CAROLINA IN
00:25:59MISSISSIPPI, IT'S A 1.7 POINT
00:26:01RACE. CINDY HYDE-SMITH IS PROBABLY GOING TO WIN, BUT THAT
00:26:04IS A VERY CLOSE MISSISSIPPI
00:26:08SENATE RACE. AND THEN
00:26:11LOUISIANA'S LESS THAN FIVE POINTS. IT'S LOUISIANA.
00:26:14>> I MEAN, I. SAID EARLIER IN
00:26:16THE NIGHT. >> EVERYWHERE.
00:26:19>> THAT THE REPUBLICAN STRONGHOLD IN THE SOUTH MIGHT BE
00:26:21DOWN TO JUST ALABAMA AND MISSISSIPPI. I'D FORGOTTEN
00:26:25LOUISIANA, BUT IT TURNS OUT, NO,
00:26:27LOUISIANA, NOT A STRONGHOLD ANYMORE.
00:26:31>> THE ALABAMA GOVERNOR'S RACE IS A FIVE POINT RACE TO TOMMY TUBERVILLE OVER DOUG JONES.
00:26:34>> I MEAN, YEAH. >> YOU HAVE THE YOU HAVE THE
00:26:37SPLITS ON ARKANSAS WITH TOM
00:26:39COTTON AGAINST, UH, SHOFFNER,
00:26:41UH, THE SEVENTH GENERATION FARMER PROGRESSIVE. UH, I KNOW
00:26:44THERE WAS SOME TALK THAT MAYBE THAT BECOMES CLOSE.
00:26:47>> IT WAS CALLED A WHILE AGO.
00:26:49UH, HE, HE WON BY MORE THAN 12
00:26:52POINTS IN ARKANSAS. THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO GET THROUGH THERE.
00:26:55>> OKAY. SO WAIT, WE NEVER CHECKED IN ON NEBRASKA. DAN
00:26:59OSBORN. WE GOT TO. OH. >> THAT IS A GOOD POINT. NO. YEAH. >> AND SO THAT'S SUPER
00:27:02IMPORTANT. NOT A DEMOCRAT, BUT. >> AN INDEPENDENT.
00:27:06>> THE DEMOCRATS. >> WOULD ALMOST CERTAINLY CAUCUS WITH THE DEMOCRATS. HE RAN
00:27:09AGAINST THE REPUBLICAN, PETE RICKETTS, AND HE'S AN INDEPENDENT.
00:27:13>> IT'S STILL ONGOING. HE'S DOWN, UH, THREE AND A HALF
00:27:16POINTS, SOMETHING LIKE THAT. WE'VE GOT 67% OF THE VOTE IN
00:27:19THE NEW YORK TIMES, DOESN'T HAVE A PREDICTION ON WHERE THAT WILL GO.
00:27:23>> OKAY, SO WE'RE STILL IN THE BALL GAME IN NEBRASKA. WOW.
00:27:26IMAGINE. NEBRASKA. YEAH, I LOOK, I HAPPEN TO THINK DAN OSBORNE IS
00:27:30A REALLY GOOD CANDIDATE. I
00:27:31THINK, I MEAN, YOU WANT TO TALK POPULIST. HE'S POPULIST 101.
00:27:35HE'S GOT HIS ROUGH EDGES. BUT THAT'S KIND OF PART OF THE BALL
00:27:38GAME OF, OF, OF POPULISM IN MY
00:27:41OPINION. SO SO THAT'S SUPER INTERESTING. THAT COULD BE
00:27:44ANOTHER PICKUP. I MEAN, THIS IS GIGANTIC. I DON'T KNOW WHERE IT
00:27:47ENDS, BUT, UH, SHOUT OUT TO CULLOM IN MISSISSIPPI, THE
00:27:51DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE, HE RAN A REALLY STRONG, BOLD CAMPAIGN.
00:27:55LIKE HE WAS A GUY. HE WAS A RARE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE THAT PEOPLE
00:27:59HAD TO HOLD HIM BACK. RIGHT. AND THAT'S MY KIND OF GUY. AND,
00:28:02AND, YOU KNOW, HE'S A BLACK
00:28:06PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRAT. TO BE FAIR, I DON'T KNOW TO WHAT DEGREE HE'S PROGRESSIVE, BUT
00:28:10HE'S A BLACK DEMOCRAT IN
00:28:12MISSISSIPPI, RUNNING A SUPER AGGRESSIVE CAMPAIGN. AND HE'S WHAT, WITHIN A POINT AND A HALF.
00:28:16>> YEAH. >> VERY CLOSE. YEAH. I MEAN,
00:28:18THAT'S AMAZING MAN. ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. >> THIS IS, I GUESS, PRETTY
00:28:22RANDOM. BUT ILHAN OMAR BEAT THE
00:28:24REPUBLICAN BY 61 POINTS.
00:28:28>> LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THEY
00:28:30ALMOST GOT. >> HER.
00:28:33>> ARE WE LAUGHING. >> AT YOU REPUBLICANS? KEEP IN MIND WITH ALL OF THIS. AND, YOU
00:28:37KNOW, THERE'S A NEW THERE'S A NEW GROUP OF DEMOCRATS THAT ARE
00:28:39COMING IN. THEY'RE ALSO SOME NEW POWERBROKERS IN THE
00:28:42DEMOCRATIC PARTY. AND, YOU KNOW, I LOVE YOU DEARLY. WE'VE HAD OUR
00:28:45DIFFERENCES, AND I DON'T AGREE WITH YOU ON EVERYTHING. BUT ONE THING I THINK IS CERTAIN FROM
00:28:49THIS NIGHT, YOU ARE, AND YOU'VE BEEN MENTIONED AS ONE OF THE
00:28:52SORT OF NEW POWER BROKERS FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, BOTH WITH
00:28:55YOUR CONNECTIONS AND THE PROGRESSIVE POPULIST MOVEMENT
00:28:59THAT YOU HAVE LED IN THE MEDIA WORLD AND STREAMING WORLD. UM,
00:29:02AND THAT HAS BEEN A HUGE VICTORY
00:29:05FOR DEMOCRATS TONIGHT. SO WHETHER PEOPLE LIKE JACK UNGAR
00:29:09OR DON'T LIKE JACK, JACK, YOU ARE A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH.
00:29:12AND I THINK WASHINGTON IS WAKING
00:29:14UP TO THAT REALITY. NOW. IT MAY
00:29:17FRIGHTEN SOME ESTABLISHMENT DEMOCRATS, BUT THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WITH ELECTIONS. IT
00:29:21USHERS IN A NEW GROUP OF POWER BROKERS AND PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT
00:29:24NECESSARILY LAWMAKERS, BUT SOMETIMES INFLUENCERS AND PEOPLE BEHIND THE SCENES THAT HAVE
00:29:28ENORMOUS SWAY. AND THAT CERTAINLY APPLIES TO YOU.
00:29:31>> WELL, THANK YOU, BROTHER. I APPRECIATE YOU SAYING THAT.
00:29:33WE'LL SEE HOW TRUE THAT IS AS
00:29:36TIME GOES ON. BUT, UH, UH, LOOK,
00:29:39IF I'M AN AVATAR FOR PROGRESSIVE POPULISM, THEN I'M
00:29:43THRILLED THAT THAT, YOU KNOW,
00:29:48THEY'RE CONSIDERING ME AN INFLUENCER OR POWER BROKER. ET CETERA. BECAUSE I WOULD LOVE TO
00:29:51BE A VOICE FOR THAT POPULIST MOVEMENT. AND I WOULD LOVE TO
00:29:55EMPOWER IT AND MAKE IT LARGER AND LARGER, BECAUSE WHAT'S THE
00:29:58POINT OF ALL THIS? UNLESS WE
00:29:59SERVE YOU GUYS, IF WE'RE NOT
00:30:03DOING SOMETHING FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, WHAT IS IT FOR? IS IT FOR THEIR EGOS? I'M NOT
00:30:07INTERESTED IN THEIR EGOS. I'M NOT INTERESTED IN MY EGO. UH,
00:30:10SO, YOU KNOW, WE'LL SEE HOW THAT GOES. AND AS DAVID IS ALLUDING
00:30:13TO THERE, IT'S NOT LIKE I'M AN OVERLY POPULAR GUY IN
00:30:17WASHINGTON. SO, SO THAT THERE WILL BE. >> I MEAN, THE THINGS YOU STAND
00:30:20FOR, LOOK, EVEN EVEN THINGS LIKE, YOU KNOW, MEDICARE FOR ALL AND SOME OF THE THINGS THAT
00:30:24WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT FOR YEARS, I THINK MY SENSE FROM
00:30:27TALKING TO EVEN SOME ESTABLISHMENT DEMOCRATS TONIGHT, ALL OF THAT IS NOW ON THE TABLE.
00:30:31I MEAN, THE MESSAGE, THE MESSAGE
00:30:33HAS BEEN HEARD, UH, PERFECTLY CLEAR FROM ESTABLISHMENT
00:30:37DEMOCRATS. I THINK HAKEEM JEFFRIES IS GOING TO BE UNDER ENORMOUS PRESSURE FROM THE
00:30:41PROGRESSIVE WING OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, THAT SOME OF THE STUFF YOU MAY NOT START WITH
00:30:45MEDICARE FOR ALL. YOU MAY DEAL WITH THE CORRUPTION AND DEAL
00:30:47WITH, YOU KNOW, AFFORDABILITY CRISIS. BUT THERE HAS TO BE A
00:30:50MOVEMENT TOWARDS HELPING PEOPLE OUT WITH HEALTH CARE, INSURANCE,
00:30:54MEDICARE FOR ALL PROPOSALS, BECAUSE THE SUPPORT IS THERE, THE SUPPORT IS THERE. IN TERMS
00:30:58OF THE POLLING, MOST REPUBLICANS, AS YOU KNOW, SUPPORT MEDICARE FOR ALL.
00:31:00DEMOCRATS. OF COURSE, 80%. AND SO DEMOCRATS, I THINK, ARE
00:31:04LEARNING A LESSON TONIGHT THAT YOU HAVE TO BE BOLD THE WAY YOU
00:31:07WIN THESE ELECTIONS IS NOT JUST TO BE BOLD IN TERMS OF HOW YOU
00:31:10STAND UP TO DONALD TRUMP AND HOW
00:31:12YOU LINK THE CORRUPTION TO THE ECONOMIC WAY THAT MANY OF US
00:31:15HAVE BEEN SCREWED. BUT YOU HAVE TO BE BOLD IN TERMS OF YOUR IDEAS. AND, AND I THINK THERE
00:31:19ARE A LOT OF PROGRESSIVE, BOLD IDEAS THAT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN
00:31:22A LONG TIME, ARE GOING TO GET AT
00:31:25LEAST A HEARING, IF NOT VOTES. >> OKAY. UH, SO COULDN'T AGREE
00:31:29MORE. UH, WE GOT ONE LAST CALL TO MAKE WITH YOU WHILE YOU'RE ON
00:31:32HERE, DAVID. UH, THIS IS WHAT I
00:31:35CALL THE CAR EASTMAN SEAT, NEBRASKA TWO. SO SHE NEARLY WON
00:31:39THIS TWICE AGAINST DON BACON.
00:31:42THE ONLY REASON WHY SHE LOST BY ABOUT A POINT AND A HALF WAS
00:31:46BECAUSE ESTABLISHMENT DEMOCRATS TURNED ON HER AND MADE AN AD IN
00:31:50FAVOR OF DON BACON RIGHT BEFORE THE ELECTIONS. BUT WE HAVE
00:31:53FINALLY CAPTURED THE CORA EASTMAN SEAT IN NEBRASKA.
00:31:57NEBRASKA TWO GOES TO DENISE POWELL, CORA, WHO'S WATCHING.
00:32:01COULD PROBABLY CORRECT ME, BUT,
00:32:03UH, I BELIEVE, UH, SHE WAS UM,
00:32:07CARL'S CAMPAIGN MANAGER, IF
00:32:08I'M NOT MISTAKEN. AND SO, UM,
00:32:14SO NEBRASKA TWO IS FINALLY OURS. WE DID IT. AWESOME. SO BEAUTIFUL
00:32:17DAY IN AMERICA. ALL RIGHT, EVERYBODY, CHECK OUT DAVID ON
00:32:20REBEL HQ ON YOUTUBE AND EVERYWHERE ELSE ON FACEBOOK. IN SO MANY PLACES. DAVID. YOU'RE
00:32:24AWESOME. WE REALLY, REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR EXPERTISE. >> THANKS, GUYS. ENJOY THE NIGHT. THANK YOU.
00:32:28>> YOU TOO. OKAY. WHEN WE COME
00:32:31BACK, SENATOR NINA TURNER JOINS US. AND THE CELEBRATIONS
00:32:34CONTINUE. WE'LL GIVE YOU MORE
00:32:36UPDATES ON MICHIGAN. UH, AND OTHER. AND ALASKA CLOSED HALF AN
00:32:39HOUR AGO, SO WE MIGHT START
00:32:40GETTING SOME ALASKA RESULTS. BUT
00:32:43BASICALLY WHAT WE'RE SEEING NOW IS, CAN WE SHOOT THE MOON? CAN
00:32:46WE RUN THE TABLE? CAN WE WIN?
00:32:49ALMOST EVERYTHING THAT WAS OUT THERE, AND EVEN MORE THAN WE EXPECTED. WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT

00:36:57AND YES, WE'RE PASSIONATE ABOUT IT. SOMETIMES WE RAGE ABOUT IT,
00:37:01BUT A LOT OF TIMES WE LAUGH ABOUT IT LIKE WE HAVE BEEN TONIGHT, ESPECIALLY WHEN THINGS
00:37:05GO WELL. LIKE THIS. UM, AND THEN I WANTED TO CORRECT SOMETHING I
00:37:09SAID EARLIER, DENISE POWELL, THAT WON A NEBRASKA TWO, WAS NOT
00:37:12CLASE CAMPAIGN MANAGER, BUT SHE WAS, SHE WAS A SUPPORTER OF CARL
00:37:16EASTMAN IN NEBRASKA WHEN SHE RAN
00:37:17IN A GOOD FRIEND AS WELL. AND SO
00:37:20THAT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY THAT, UH, THAT THEY'VE WON. UH,
00:37:23DENISE WON ON IN THAT DISTRICT.
00:37:27OKAY, BEFORE WE GET BACK TO THE
00:37:28NUMBERS, NINA, UM, HUGE WINS IN
00:37:32OHIO. UH, SO SHERROD BROWN WINS
00:37:35THE SENATE SEAT, AMY ACTON WINS
00:37:38THE GOVERNOR'S SEAT. SO IT LOOKED LIKE OHIO HAD GONE
00:37:41PERMANENTLY RED, BUT APPARENTLY NOT.
00:37:45>> NOW, THANK THE LORD. A LITTLE, A LITTLE, A LITTLE
00:37:48SPLASH OF BLUE. NOT MUCH. I MEAN, JUST THOSE TWO. ONE.
00:37:52THAT'S THAT'S A GOOD START.
00:37:54BUT THE LEGISLATURE IS STILL EXTRAORDINARILY RED. A LOT OF
00:37:58THAT HAS TO DO WITH THE GERRYMANDERING. BUT, YES, THIS IS GOOD NEWS TONIGHT. IF
00:38:01SOMEBODY HAD SAID TWO MONTHS AGO, THREE MONTHS AGO, EVEN SIX
00:38:04MONTHS AGO, THE DEMOCRATS WOULD
00:38:07TAKE THE THE GOVERNOR'S RACE AND THE SENATE RACE. NOBODY WOULD
00:38:10HAVE BELIEVED IT. BUT THANKS TO
00:38:14VIVEK BEING VIVEK, IT HAPPENED. AND I THINK IT WAS ALSO BIGGER
00:38:17THAN THAT. BUT THE THE OHIO
00:38:20VOTERS HAVE A WAY OF PUTTING THE
00:38:22GOP BACK IN THEIR PLACE WHEN IT
00:38:25IS ON THE BALLOT. AND WE SAW THAT WITH. WHEN THEY WENT
00:38:28EXTREME ON ABORTION, YOU KNOW, TRYING TO STRIP ABORTION RIGHTS,
00:38:32WE SAW THAT. JENKINS, YOU AND JOHN WILL KNOW, AND I'M SURE
00:38:35MANY OF THE VIEWERS WHO REMEMBER
00:38:38WHAT HAPPENED IN 2011, WHEN THE COLLECTIVE BARGAINING, AND I'M PROBABLY MISSING 1 OR 2 OTHER
00:38:41THINGS THAT WENT IS PLACED ON
00:38:43THE BALLOT. THE OHIO VOTERS
00:38:47OVERWHELMINGLY, MOST OFTEN HAVE PROVEN THEMSELVES TO SMACK THE GOP BACK. AND I REALLY DO THINK
00:38:50THERE WAS A BUNCH OF BLOWBACK. I BELIEVE THAT THE ACTON WAS GOING
00:38:54TO WIN ANYWAY. IT WAS ALWAYS
00:38:56NECK AND NECK, BUT IT WAS A BIG
00:39:00BLOWBACK, RIGHTFULLY SO. BECAUSE OF THAT VILE AD THAT VIVEK AND HIS CAMPAIGN PUT OUT. EVEN SO
00:39:03MUCH SO THAT YOU HAVE THE CURRENT REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR,
00:39:07GOVERNOR DEWINE, UH, CALL A SPECIAL PRESS CONFERENCE, AS YOU KNOW. AND THEN ALSO MY FORMER
00:39:11GOVERNOR, GOVERNOR JOHN KASICH,
00:39:14SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, HIS HEART WAS BLEEDING OVER WHAT HE DID.
00:39:17SO HERE WE ARE. WE GOT IT. NOW, I WILL SAY TO YOU, AS I WENT TO
00:39:21VOTE TODAY WITH MY HUSBAND, I
00:39:24DID NOT NECESSARILY VOTE
00:39:26HAPPILY. YOU KNOW, I WASN'T IN A PLACE LIKE KENTUCKY WHERE THERE
00:39:30WAS A CANDIDATE LIKE CHARLES BOOKER ON THE BALLOT, WHICH,
00:39:33UNFORTUNATELY, HE DIDN'T WIN THAT RACE. AND, JENKINS, I WANT
00:39:37TO GET INTO CHARLES BOOKER AND ALSO ANGIE NIXON, BUT I'LL PUT THAT ON THE SIDE. YOU ASKED ME
00:39:40ABOUT OHIO. WHEN I WENT TO VOTE. I REALLY WAS VOTING FOR THE
00:39:44LESSER OF TWO EVILS. WE DON'T
00:39:47HAVE PROGRESSIVE, PROGRESSIVE CANDIDATES ON THE BALLOT WHO ARE RUNNING AS DEMOCRATS IN THE
00:39:51GREAT STATE OF OHIO, UNFORTUNATELY. SO, THERE ARE
00:39:55MANY OF US ACROSS THE COUNTRY
00:39:56WHO DID NOT HAVE AN LILIA MEJIA,
00:40:00FOR EXAMPLE, OR CHRIS RABB ON THE BALLOT TO BE ABLE TO VOTE
00:40:03FOR HER. SO I REALLY DID VOTE FOR THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS TODAY, AND I WANT THAT TO BE
00:40:07KNOWN. >> YEAH. SO CHRIS RAN, BY THE
00:40:11WAY, A REBELLION CANDIDATE WON EASILY IN PHILADELPHIA. SO SUPER
00:40:14PROUD OF THAT. CHRIS AND I ACTUALLY WENT TO SCHOOL
00:40:16TOGETHER. UH, SO THAT'S KIND OF
00:40:19NEAT. UM, AND, YOU KNOW, I
00:40:21REMEMBER, UM, NOW, UH, IT WAS A DIFFERENT SCHOOL, BUT AT
00:40:24COLUMBIA, ONE OF THE GUYS USED TO COME AROUND AND SAY, YOU
00:40:27KNOW, YOU SHOULD. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING ISN'T YOUR CLASSES. IT'S WHO YOU MEET.
00:40:30BECAUSE THESE GUYS ONE DAY DO SOMETHING INTERESTING, RIGHT?
00:40:33AND SO I WAS TOO YOUNG TO UNDERSTAND THAT. BUT IT TURNS
00:40:36OUT, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE GUYS STANDING NEXT TO ME, YOU KNOW,
00:40:39EARLIER AT, AT PENN WAS CHRIS. AND, AND HE DID. AND BY THE WAY,
00:40:42THIS IS A REALLY INTERESTING
00:40:45STORY, RIGHT? BECAUSE AT PENN, CHRIS RAAB WAS THERE AND HAROLD
00:40:48FORD JR. WAS THERE. OKAY. AND
00:40:50HAROLD FORD JR. WAS SUPPOSED TO
00:40:53BE THE POLITICAL. WHAT DO THEY CALL THIS >> SCION.
00:40:57>> SCION? I'M TERRIBLE AT PRONOUNCING THAT. OBVIOUSLY,
00:41:01SCION OF OF THE HAROLD FORD SENIOR IN TENNESSEE AND THE FORD
00:41:05FAMILY. AND, AND HE DID. HE
00:41:08INHERITED HIS DAD'S SEAT AND THEN KIND OF FIZZLED OUT BECAUSE
00:41:11HE WAS A CORPORATE DEMOCRAT. AND HE THOUGHT THAT THAT WAS GOING
00:41:13TO BE A CLEVER WAY TO GO. AND PEOPLE DIDN'T FIND IT CLEVER.
00:41:17AND HE LOST THE SENATE SEAT. AND
00:41:19THEN KIND OF THEN NOW HE'S EMBARRASSED HIMSELF. HE'S ON
00:41:23FOX NEWS TELLING EVERYBODY THAT THE REPUBLICANS ARE RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING. RIGHT. AND SO,
00:41:27MEANWHILE, CHRIS DIDN'T HAVE ANY OF THAT. HE JUST HAD TO FIGHT IN
00:41:30HIM. RIGHT. AND, UH, AND I LOVE
00:41:34THAT SAYING, IT'S NOT THE SIZE OF THE DOG IN THE FIGHT, BUT THE
00:41:36SIZE OF THE FIGHT IN THE DOG. SO YEAH, YEAH. AND CHRIS HAS GOT A
00:41:40LOT OF FIGHT. AND SO I CAN'T
00:41:44WAIT TO SEE HIM IN CONGRESS. SO NOW THAT'S GOING TO BE AN
00:41:47INTERESTING DUO. BY THE WAY,
00:41:49CHRIS RABB AND RICHARD OJEDA IN CONGRESS. DID YOU EVER THINK
00:41:52YOU'D SEE A DAY LIKE THAT? NINA.
00:41:55>> NO, NOT AT ALL. I MEAN, I WAS TEXTING WITH CHRIS TONIGHT, AND
00:41:58ALSO ANNA LILIA AS WELL. AND JUST CONGRATULATING THEM. AND I
00:42:02JUST HAVE SUCH HIGH HOPES FOR
00:42:05THIS NEW SET OF, OF FIERCE
00:42:08PROGRESSIVES THAT ARE COMING
00:42:10INTO THE FRAY. AND HOPEFULLY THEY WILL COME TOGETHER AND FORM
00:42:14A BLOCK, WHICH IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THEY'RE
00:42:17NICKNAMING THEMSELVES THE BLOCK. SOME OF THE NEWBIES, AND REALLY
00:42:20HOLD THE DEMOCRATS FEET TO THE FIRE, BECAUSE WHAT IS GOING TO
00:42:23HAPPEN? AND I SAID THIS WHEN WE
00:42:25INTERVIEWED ABOUT A WEEK AGO, THIS IS NOT BECAUSE THE
00:42:29DEMOCRATS DIDN'T SWEEP ALL OF THESE RACES BECAUSE THEY'RE SO GREAT. IF YOU LOOK AT THE POLLS,
00:42:32WHEN PEOPLE ARE ASKED, THEY DON'T BELIEVE THAT THE DUOPOLY CARES ABOUT THEM. BECAUSE GUESS
00:42:36WHAT? THE DUOPOLY DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THEM. YOU MAY HAVE A FEW
00:42:39PEOPLE HERE AND THERE, OBVIOUSLY, WHO SERVE IN THAT
00:42:42CONGRESS, WHO ACTUALLY REALLY DO
00:42:44CARE, BUT IT'S VERY FEW. WE PROBABLY COULD COUNT THEM ON ONE
00:42:48HAND, MAYBE TWO. SO THE AMERICAN
00:42:50PEOPLE ARE NOT FOOLED. SO THEY SWING BACK AND FORTH FOR A
00:42:53REASON. SO THEY DIDN'T SWING TO THE DEMOCRATS, BECAUSE THE
00:42:56DEMOCRATS ARE GREAT. THEY SWUNG TO THE DEMOCRATS BECAUSE THE GOP
00:43:00WAS SO ROTTEN THAT THAT THOSE
00:43:03ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS. AND SO HOPEFULLY, THE DEMOCRATS WILL
00:43:06LEARN A LESSON. WE WILL SEE.
00:43:08YEAH. AND GOVERN FOR THE WORKING
00:43:12CLASS PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY, AND NOT PLAY GAMES WITH IT. THAT'S WHAT I WANT. >> TO SEE. YEAH, I WANT TO COME
00:43:16BACK TO THAT TOO. BUT TALARICO SPEAKING NOW, SO LET'S SEE IF
00:43:19WE CAN PICK UP TALARICO SPEECH.
00:43:25SO OBVIOUSLY IN >> [MUSIC] >> TEXAS, UH. >> HIS.

00:44:22SHOWED THAT A POLITICS OF
00:44:24DIVISION IS NO MATCH FOR A
00:44:26POLITICS OF LOVE

00:44:58>> I'M A I'M REMINDED OF THAT
00:45:03STORY FROM SCRIPTURE OF A
00:45:05SHEPHERD BOY WHO GOES UP AGAINST
00:45:08A GIANT FOR 40 DAYS. GOLIATH
00:45:11TEASES AND TAUNTS ON THE DAY OF THE FIGHT. HE SHOWS UP IN FULL
00:45:15ARMOR. HE'S CARRYING SO MANY WEAPONS, HE NEEDS SOMEONE ELSE
00:45:18TO CARRY HIS SHIELD. IN THIS

00:46:35THE BEST PREPARATION FOR >> [APPLAUSE]
00:46:38>> POLITICS THE WEST SIDE IS A
00:46:43BEAUTIFUL, HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOOD. IT'S ALSO ONE OF THE POOREST ZIP CODES IN THE
00:46:46ENTIRE STATE OF TEXAS. EVERY
00:46:50DAY, MY STUDENTS STRUGGLED HEROICALLY TO OVERCOME A RIGGED
00:46:54SYSTEM. MY STUDENTS WEREN'T JUST
00:46:56KIDS. THEY WERE SURVIVORS,
00:46:59DREAMERS, FIGHTERS. I. I SAW IT
00:47:02IN THEIR EYES EVERY DAY. THIS
00:47:06UNSHAKABLE RESOLVE, THIS

00:53:06THE SOCIAL MEDIA ALGORITHMS, WHO
00:53:09OWN THE CABLE NEWS NETWORKS, WHO OWN THE POLITICIANS FIGHTING ON
00:53:13OUR SCREENS, THEY WANT US AT
00:53:17EACH OTHER'S THROATS. THEY WANT US FOCUSED ON HOW WE'RE
00:53:20DIFFERENT, INSTEAD OF ON HOW WE'RE THE SAME. THEY WANT US
00:53:24LOOKING LEFT AND RIGHT AT EACH OTHER, INSTEAD OF LOOKING UP AT
00:53:28THEM. THE REAL FIGHT IN THIS
00:53:30COUNTRY IS NOT LEFT VERSUS
00:53:32RIGHT. IT IS TOP VERSUS BOTTOM.
00:53:35>> [APPLAUSE] [APPLAUSE]
00:53:41>> THE PEOPLE AT THE TOP WORK SO
00:53:45HARD TO KEEP US ANGRY AND
00:53:48DIVIDED, BECAUSE OUR UNITY IS A THREAT TO THEIR WEALTH AND THEIR
00:53:52POWER. WE, WE SAW IT IN THIS
00:53:56RACE. WE SAW IT IN EVERY BILLIONAIRE FUNDED ATTACK. AD.
00:53:59THE PEOPLE AT THE TOP DIVIDE US
00:54:02BY PARTY, BY RACE, BY GENDER, BY
00:54:05RELIGION, BY CULTURE. SO WE DON'T NOTICE THAT THEY ARE
00:54:08PICKING OUR POCKETS, THAT THEY
00:54:10ARE DEFUNDING OUR SCHOOLS, THAT THEY ARE GUTTING OUR HEALTH
00:54:14CARE, THAT THEY ARE RAISING TAXES ON ALL OF US WHILE THEY
00:54:17CUT TAXES FOR THEMSELVES. IT IS
00:54:21THE OLDEST STRATEGY IN THE
00:54:23WORLD. DIVIDE AND CONQUER. BUT
00:54:25TONIGHT, WE SENT A CRYSTAL CLEAR MESSAGE TO THE PEOPLE AT THE
00:54:30TOP. WE WILL NOT BE CONQUERED.
00:54:34>> [APPLAUSE] [APPLAUSE]
00:54:42,
00:54:42>> I THINK IT'S SAFE TO SAY THAT
00:54:47WE ARE TIRED OF BEING PITTED AGAINST EACH OTHER. WE ARE TIRED
00:54:49OF BEING TOLD TO HATE EACH
00:54:51OTHER. IT HAS BEEN TEN YEARS OF. THIS.
00:54:55>> ALL RIGHT, WE GOT THE POINT. OVERALL, THAT WAS GREAT. LOVED
00:54:58IT. LOVE THY NEIGHBOR. YOU KNOW,
00:55:03CONCILIATORY, BEAUTIFUL. IT.
00:55:05THAT'S KIND OF THE BEST OF THE HEART OF THE PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENT AND THE POPULIST
00:55:09MOVEMENT. THAT MESSAGE THERE TRY
00:55:12TO CARE FOR ONE ANOTHER. IT'S
00:55:16CALLED EMPATHY. LET'S LOOK INTO IT. RIGHT. SO NOW WE'RE GOING TO
00:55:19FIND OUT IF THEY'VE GOT THE NEXT, NEXT LAYER TO IT. NOW,
00:55:21ONCE YOU'VE GOT THAT, YOU HAVE THE FIGHT IN YOU THOUGH, RIGHT?
00:55:25SO SUPER CURIOUS TO SEE WHAT TALARICO IS GOING TO DO IN THE
00:55:28SENATE, BUT JOHN'S GOT AN UPDATE. >> YES. SO THIS IS SORT OF AN
00:55:32UPDATE ON SOME OF THE STATE LEVEL STUFF THAT I THINK
00:55:35MATTERS. SO EVIDENTLY, DEMOCRATS
00:55:40WON EVERY STATEWIDE RACE IN GEORGIA. THEY SWEPT ALL OF IT.
00:55:43LIKE IT'S, I GUESS IT'S NOT A PURPLE STATE ANYMORE. I GUESS
00:55:47IT'S A BLUE STATE, I SUPPOSE. AND ALSO, I'VE BEEN LIKE, I'VE
00:55:50BEEN GETTING MORE AND MORE FREAKED OUT BY HOW UTTERLY
00:55:54COLLAPSED THE REPUBLICAN PARTY OF TEXAS IS. IT'S, IT'S MORE
00:55:57THAN I THOUGHT IT WAS. NOT ONLY
00:55:59DO THEY APPEAR TO HAVE SWEPT
00:56:01EVERY SINGLE STATEWIDE RACE IN TEXAS, IF THE LEADS THEY HAVE
00:56:05RIGHT NOW HOLD, UH, THEY WILL
00:56:08TAKE THE TEXAS STATE HOUSE AND
00:56:10STATE SENATE, WHICH I LIVED IN
00:56:13TEXAS FOR FIVE YEARS. I WENT TO. I WOULD HAVE NEVER IMAGINED THAT
00:56:15THAT WOULD BE POSSIBLE, THAT ANY WAVE WOULD BE BIG ENOUGH TO
00:56:18OVERWHELM THE WAY THAT THEY HAVE CAREFULLY CARVED UP THOSE LITTLE
00:56:22STATE LEGISLATURE DISTRICTS. BUT
00:56:23THEY HAVE, WHICH MEANS THEY WILL
00:56:26HAVE IF IT IF IT STAYS THIS WAY,
00:56:30THE BOTH HOUSES OF THE LEGISLATURE AND THE GOVERNOR'S
00:56:32RACE, THE GOVERNOR'S MANSION,
00:56:34THEY CAN POTENTIALLY MAKE FAIRER
00:56:37MAPS. THEY CAN SUPPRESS THE VOTE. THEY CAN PASS BILLS TO MAKE IT ACTUALLY LIKE FREE AND
00:56:41FAIR TO VOTE IN TEXAS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A LONG TIME, LIKE
00:56:45THE. IT IS OVERWHELMING HOW
00:56:47DONALD TRUMP HAS KILLED THE TEXAS REPUBLICAN PARTY. IT GOES
00:56:51TO EVERY SINGLE LEVEL. THEY'VE WON, EVERY JUDGE'S RACE. THE
00:56:55DEMOCRATS. >> WOW. >> ELON MUSK IS NOW GOING TO BE
00:56:57DOING BUSINESS IN A STATE WHERE THE JUDGES ARE ALL DEMOCRATS.
00:57:01>> OH, BY THE WAY, GREAT POINT,
00:57:03JOHN. I MEAN, WHAT A SPECTACULAR
00:57:07FAILURE ELON MUSK HAS BEEN IN
00:57:08THIS ELECTION. OH, THAT BROTHER
00:57:14JUST WASTED HALF $1 BILLION AND GOT A DONUT TO SHOW FOR IT. >> NADA.
00:57:17>> YEAH. I MEAN, IF HE WAS HERE
00:57:19ON AND WAS A SPRINKLED DONUT AND
00:57:23GO, HERE YOU GO, BROTHER.
00:57:24THAT'S WHAT YOU GOT FOR HALF $1
00:57:27BILLION. WOW. I'VE NEVER SEEN
00:57:29ANYONE LOSE THIS HARD. OKAY, SO
00:57:32CONGRATS, ELON. YOU JUST SET ANOTHER RECORD FOR MOST MONEY
00:57:36WASTED IN POLITICS. I THINK THAT
00:57:39CERTAINLY EVERYONE HE GAVE TO IN TEXAS. AND THAT'S WHERE AT
00:57:41LEAST A QUARTER OF A BILLION WENT. ALL LOST, ALL LOST. AND
00:57:45WE'LL HAVE TO DO MORE TRACKING
00:57:46TO SEE IF EVERY SINGLE RACE HE
00:57:49GAVE MONEY TO LOST, LIKE HIS MONEY MIGHT BE TOXIC. AND HE
00:57:53WANTED. IT'S LIKE KIND OF THE
00:57:54STORY OF KING MIDAS. YEAH. YOU
00:57:57THINK YOU'RE IN AMAZING SHAPE. EVERYTHING YOU TOUCH TURNS TO GOLD. EXCEPT THEN YOU COME TO
00:58:01FIND OUT. OH, RIGHT. THAT'S NOT
00:58:04THAT GOOD A THING. RIGHT. AND FOR, IN HIS CASE, EVERYTHING HE
00:58:08TOUCHED TURNED TO CRAP. IN
00:58:10POLITICS. SO AMAZING. OKAY, UH,
00:58:14SO, UM. >> THERE ARE SOME ALASKA NUMBERS
00:58:16AS WELL. ALASKA. ALL RIGHT. IT'S COMING IN. UH, IT'S
00:58:20FINALLY STARTING TO COME IN. WE WE EXPECT THAT TO KNOW FOR SURE WHO WON. IF IT'S A CLOSE RACE,
00:58:24COULD TAKE AT LEAST DAYS. RURAL AREA, HARD TO GET ALL THE VOTE.
00:58:27BUT AS OF RIGHT NOW, WITH 22% OF
00:58:29THE VOTE IN MARY PELTOLA IS
00:58:31LEADING WITH 51, 54.1%. BUT, UM,
00:58:35I, I CAN'T REALLY TELL YOU THE
00:58:37STATE OF THIS RACE BECAUSE I'M SO CONFUSED BY THE TWO. DAN
00:58:41SULLIVAN'S HOW CAN I POSSIBLY
00:58:43FIGURE OUT WHAT'S HAPPENING ON
00:58:46THIS BALLOT ANYWAY? YEAH. UH,
00:58:48THE DAN SULLIVAN IS THE INCUMBENT ON THE BALLOT. IT SAYS
00:58:51INCUMBENT, ACTUALLY. AND I GOT NEWS FOR YOU. EVEN IF ALL THE
00:58:55DANIEL J. SULLIVAN VOTE WENT TO HIM, WENT TO HIM, MARY PELTOLA
00:58:57WOULD STILL BE LEADING. SO. >> AND ONE SAYS REPUBLICAN,
00:59:01OTHER SAYS OTHER. >> UM.
00:59:04>> AND SO, BY THE WAY, 1.5% IS PRETTY NORMAL FOR A THIRD PARTY
00:59:07OR INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE. SO THAT'S NOT OUT OF THE ORDINARY.
00:59:11AND IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE HE'S WITHIN 1.5%, AT LEAST NOT YET.
00:59:15BUT HOW MANY PERCENTAGE REPORTING THERE? JOHN. I DON'T HAVE MY GLASSES.
00:59:18>> ON 22%. ALL RIGHT. >> I'LL TAKE IT. I'LL TAKE IT.
00:59:21WHAT, 12 POINT UH, 11.
00:59:23>> 11 POINT LEAD RIGHT NOW. >> WITH 22% REPORTING OFF TO A
00:59:27GOOD START. AND SO FAR, EVERYTHING WE'VE STARTED, UH,
00:59:30WITH A GOOD START, HAS ENDED WITH A GOOD ENDING. SO, UH, SO
00:59:34FAR, SO GOOD. LOOK, WE GOT TO TAKE A BREAK SOON, AND I WANT TO
00:59:36TALK ABOUT THIS MORE FULLY, BUT I DO WANT TO ASK YOU, NINA,
00:59:40ABOUT ANGIE NIXON FOR A SECOND.
00:59:44IT FEELS LIKE IF THE DEMOCRATS HAD INVESTED A LITTLE BIT IN FLORIDA, SHE MIGHT HAVE PULLED
00:59:48IT OUT WAY CLOSER THAN ANYBODY THOUGHT ABOUT TWO, THREE POINT
00:59:52LOSS THERE. WHEN WHEN PEOPLE THOUGHT THAT WAS GOING TO BE A MUCH BIGGER MARGIN
00:59:56>> YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. NO DOUBT
00:59:58ABOUT IT. AND I REMEMBER WHEN
01:00:00REPRESENTATIVE NIXON WAS INTERVIEWED AFTER SHE WON THE
01:00:03PRIMARY, AND SHE WAS ASKED, YOU KNOW, IS THE, THE, YOU KNOW, THE
01:00:07SENATE CAMPAIGN COMING IN FOR
01:00:09YOU? WHAT IS SCHUMER SAYING? AND
01:00:12BASICALLY SAID, WELL, WE'LL SEE. WE'LL GET BACK WITH YOU. I'M
01:00:15PARAPHRASING, BUT THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED. SHE COULD HAVE WON HAD
01:00:18THEY MADE THE SAME INVESTMENT IN
01:00:20HER THAT THEY WERE MAKING OTHER PLACES. AND SO IT MAKES ME WANT
01:00:24TO GO HOME. SO WITH ALL THESE
01:00:26HISTORIC VICTORIES THAT WE'RE SEEING AMONG BLACK CANDIDATES,
01:00:30ESPECIALLY ON THE GUBERNATORIAL
01:00:32LEVEL, WE DID NOT SEE THAT SAME
01:00:35THING HAPPEN FOR REPRESENTATIVE ANDY NIXON, NOR DID WE SEE THAT
01:00:38HAPPEN FOR, UH, REP. CHARLES
01:00:42BOOKER, EITHER, WHICH HE HAS BEEN RUNNING. THIS WAS, I THINK
01:00:46THIS WAS HIS SECOND GO AT IT. SO
01:00:48HE'S BEEN ON THE FIELD TRYING TO RUN THIS PLAY FOR A VERY LONG
01:00:51TIME, FOR A WHILE. AND, YOU KNOW, RUNNING EVERY SIX YEARS IS
01:00:55A, IS A, IS A IS NO SMALL FEAT. BUT HE STUCK TO IT AND RAN
01:00:58AGAIN. HE CAME CLOSER THIS TIME
01:01:00THAN HE EVEN DID LAST TIME. BUT
01:01:03I'M, I'M REALLY DISAPPOINTED
01:01:05THAT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY DID NOT INVEST MORE IN THESE TWO
01:01:08RACES. AND YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, GENE ANGIE NIXON 12
01:01:12PERCENTAGE POINTS IN THAT PRIMARY. AND SHE RAN HARD. SHE
01:01:15HAS NOTHING TO BE ASHAMED OF FOR THIS GENERAL ELECTION. BUT THE
01:01:19DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAS A LOT TO BE ASHAMED OF. ONE MORE POINT. I
01:01:22KNOW WE GOT TO GO TO BREAK.
01:01:25ALWAYS ASKING THE BLACK COMMUNITY TO DELIVER FOR OTHER
01:01:29FOLKS, BUT THEY'RE RARELY THERE TO DELIVER FOR BLACK PEOPLE. AND
01:01:32THAT IS A SERIOUS, SERIOUS CONVERSATION THAT WE MUST
01:01:35CONTINUE HAVING IN THIS COUNTRY AND FIND A WAY TO DO BETTER,
01:01:38NOTWITHSTANDING, AGAIN, THE HISTORIC WINS ON THE
01:01:42GUBERNATORIAL LEVEL. BUT I'M
01:01:44TALKING ABOUT THE SENATE LEVEL TWO STELLAR CANDIDATES, AND THEY
01:01:48DID NOT HAVE THE SAME OUTCOMES BECAUSE THEY DID NOT HAVE THE
01:01:51SAME INVESTMENT AS THESE OTHER CANDIDATES.
01:01:53>> YEAH. I WANT TO TALK ABOUT
01:01:55THAT A LITTLE BIT MORE, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE OF WHAT THE
01:01:58MAINSTREAM MEDIA WAS SAYING ABOUT THE BLACK VOTE IN MICHIGAN. I THINK THOSE THINGS
01:02:02ARE RELATED. UH, SO WE'LL PICK
01:02:04THAT UP ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS. BUT A COUPLE OF QUICK
01:02:08NOTES HERE. FIRST OF ALL, THE
01:02:09AMOUNT OF MONEY SPENT IN, IN THAT TALARICO RACE, PARTLY
01:02:13BECAUSE ELON MUSK IS AMAZING, $300 MILLION IN A SENATE RACE.
01:02:17BUT OVER IN MICHIGAN, OVER $220 MILLION SPENT. AND THAT'S PARTLY
01:02:21BECAUSE OF THE AIPAC, GIGANTIC AMOUNT OF SPENDING. BUT THAT ONE
01:02:24INCLUDES THE PRIMARY AND THE GENERAL AGAINST ABDULLAH. AND THAT'S JUST THE MONEY.
01:02:27>> WAS HUGE, TOO. >> YEAH. AND BY THE WAY, THAT'S NOT THE WHOLE RACE. THAT WAS
01:02:31JUST THE MONEY SPENT AGAINST TALARICO AND AGAINST ABDUL
01:02:35EL-SAYED. THOSE ARE MONSTER NUMBERS. BUT THE BEAUTIFUL PART
01:02:37OF THAT IS THAT IT LOOKS LIKE IT
01:02:40MIGHT HAVE BEEN WASTED. NOW, 65%
01:02:43REPORTING IN MICHIGAN, AND
01:02:45ABDUL'S GOT A FOUR POINT LEAD. SO THAT'S AMAZING. SO THERE'S A
01:02:48LOT MORE, UH, TO, TO GET TO.
01:02:52HOW'S ALASKA GOING TO FINISH? AND MICHIGAN, AMONG OTHERS, AND A LOT TO DISCUSS ABOUT WHAT
01:02:56WE'RE GOING TO DO AFTER THESE WINS AND SOME UPDATES FOR YOU
01:02:59GUYS AS WELL. SO LET'S TAKE A QUICK BREAK HERE AND COME RIGHT
01:03:01BACK WITH THAT
01:03:07>> ELON. >> AND THE YOUNG TURKS YOUTUBE PODCAST. TAKING A BREAK HERE ON
01:03:11C-SPAN 2. WHILE WE'RE IN THIS BREAK, WE'LL TAKE YOU OVER TO

01:03:21RING OR CRESCENT OF OF LAND
01:03:23THROUGH THE AMERICAN SOUTH. AND WHAT WE'RE SEEING HERE IS JUST
01:03:27TURNOUT. UH, BLACK DEMOCRATS ARE
01:03:29SHOWING UP TO VOTE IN THIS
01:03:31ELECTION, AND THAT IS BOOSTING
01:03:34SCOTT COLOM TO THIS RAZOR THIN
01:03:38LEAD. UH, YOU KNOW, THIS IS KIND OF DEMOCRATS WILDEST DREAMS
01:03:42RIGHT NOW, BEING ABLE TO GO TO BED, NOT WORRIED ABOUT IOWA, NOT
01:03:46WORRIED ABOUT OHIO, THINKING THEY. >> MIGHT PICK UP MISSISSIPPI. >> THINKING THEY MIGHT PICK UP.
01:03:50IF YOU'RE CHUCK SCHUMER AND YOU'RE GOING TO BED. I MEAN, CHUCK SCHUMER IS NOT GOING TO
01:03:53BED TONIGHT. BUT IF YOU'RE OTHER DEMOCRATS, UM, THE FACT THAT YOU
01:03:56CAN GO TO BED TONIGHT AND YOUR BIGGEST WORRY IS, ARE WE GOING
01:03:58TO PICK UP MISSISSIPPI? I MEAN, COME ON.
01:04:02>> GRETA, THAT'S, THAT'S ONE TO
01:04:05WATCH IN THE OVERNIGHT. >> ALL RIGHT. REPUBLICANS COMING UP SHORT TONIGHT IN SEVERAL OF
01:04:09THOSE HOTLY CONTESTED SENATE RACES. AND ONE OF THEM WAS IN
01:04:12THE STATE OF IOWA. TAKE A LOOK
01:04:16AT THE MARGINS FROM IOWA, WHERE PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS WON THE LAST
01:04:19THREE ELECTION CYCLES. WE ALMOST
01:04:21HAVE 100% OF THE VOTE IN. AND
01:04:23THIS IS WHERE IT STANDS AT THIS HOUR. JOSH TUREK WAS DECLARED
01:04:27THE WINNER. HE'LL BE JOINING

01:04:32U.S. SENATE IN THE 100, 120th

01:04:39JOSH TUREK AND THE REPUBLICAN CONGRESSWOMAN, ASHLEY HINSON,
01:04:42WHO JUMPED INTO THE RACE BECAUSE JONI ERNST, THE REPUBLICAN
01:04:45SENATOR, DECIDED TO RETIRE.

01:07:40>> A FIRST NAME.
01:07:42>> YEAH. UH, AND IT'S NOT
01:07:48OSCAR. UM, BUT. >> MYSELF WITH THAT ONE.
01:07:51>> IT'S THE FIRST THING I THOUGHT.
01:07:54>> UM, SOME PEOPLE ONLINE STARTED SAYING. SENDING THE
01:07:58UNCLE. UH, I LIKE THAT ONE. ALL RIGHT, JOHN.
01:08:01>> WE HAVE SOME NUMBERS. UH, I'LL START FROM, I GUESS, SMALL
01:08:04AND GO BIGGER. UH, ONE OF THE INITIAL BELLWETHERS WE WERE
01:08:08WATCHING WAS VICTORIA SPARTZ VERSUS JD FOR THE FIFTH DISTRICT
01:08:10OF INDIANA. IT'S BEEN CALLED JD
01:08:12FORD BEAT VICTORIA SPARTZ. IT'S
01:08:14LIKE A, IS THAT LIKE A 14 POINT SWING FROM TWO YEARS AGO?
01:08:17ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE. UM. >> SO BEFORE YOU, BEFORE YOU GO
01:08:21ANY FURTHER, JUST REAL QUICK
01:08:24GUYS, UM, OH, WAIT, NO, GO AHEAD.
01:08:26>> OH, SORRY. YEAH. SO, UH, ABDUL HAS EXPANDED HIS LEAD, BY
01:08:29THE WAY, VOTE HUB HAS CALLED IT
01:08:33FOR ABDUL EL-SAYED, BUT CNN AND
01:08:34NEW YORK TIMES HAVEN'T. I ALSO
01:08:38JUST WANT TO POINT OUT THERE'S STILL A FEW PERCENTAGE POINTS OF
01:08:39THE VOTE WAITING TO COME IN. BUT IN THE MISSISSIPPI SENATE RACE,
01:08:43SCOTT COLOM HAS TAKEN A LEAD.
01:08:45>> OH MY GOD, HE'S UP BY UNBELIEVABLE.
01:08:48>> HE IS UP BY 28 VOTES OVER
01:08:51CINDY HYDE-SMITH ONE. BUS OF
01:08:55VOTERS. AND SO THAT'S LOOKING LIKE IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO GET A RECOUNT. THAT MEANS THE
01:08:59PROVISIONAL BALLOTS ARE GOING TO MATTER. THIS IS MISSISSIPPI, THEY SAY RIGHT THERE.
01:09:02MISSISSIPPI HAS NOT HAD A BLACK
01:09:05SENATOR SINCE RECONSTRUCTION.
01:09:08AND CANDIDATES HAVE BEEN DOING SO MUCH BETTER THAN HISTORICALLY
01:09:11IN NOT ONLY GEORGIA, WHERE THEY
01:09:14SWEPT IT, BUT IN LOUISIANA, IN MISSISSIPPI, THE ALABAMA GUBERNATORIAL RACE IS WITHIN
01:09:17LIKE FOUR POINTS OR SOMETHING THROUGHOUT THE SOUTH, LET ALONE
01:09:20IN TEXAS AND SOUTH CAROLINA, NORTH CAROLINA AS WELL. IT HAS
01:09:23BEEN A ROUTING OF THE REPUBLICANS.
01:09:27>> YEAH. WE WERE JUST TALKING
01:09:29ABOUT SCOTT COLOM. JUST A LITTLE
01:09:32WHILE BACK, MAYBE ABOUT HALF AN
01:09:34HOUR AGO OR SO. RIGHT. AND I
01:09:36SAID THAT BROTHER RAN A STRONG
01:09:39RACE, RIGHT. AND HE WAS A RARE DEMOCRAT WHO DIDN'T MIND
01:09:43THROWING PUNCHES. AND, AND THIS IS WHAT FRUSTRATES ME SO MUCH
01:09:46ABOUT SO MANY OF THE OTHER
01:09:47CANDIDATES. IF YOU'RE RUNNING IN MISSISSIPPI, WHAT HAVE YOU GOT
01:09:51TO LOSE? RIGHT? SO GO GET HIM.
01:09:54AND HE DID, IN THAT AGGRESSIVE ATTITUDE, HAS MADE A GIANT
01:09:58DIFFERENCE WHETHER HE WINS OR NOT. THAT'S ALREADY A REMARKABLE
01:10:01SHOWING, REMARKABLE. AND, UH,
01:10:07AND, AND SO LOOK AT THIS POINT BEFORE WE WERE TALKING ABOUT,
01:10:09OH, SPORTS LOSES, IT MIGHT BE AN
01:10:13INDICATION WE'RE WAY PAST INDICATION NOW. WE'RE NOW AT
01:10:15CLEANUP, RIGHT? I MEAN, WE'VE, WE'VE, WE'VE WON ALMOST
01:10:18EVERYTHING ON THE BOARD. OH, SPEAKING OF WHICH, FORGOT TO PUT
01:10:21THIS ON. UH, THIS ONE'S FOR
01:10:24SUSAN COLLINS. OKAY. THAT'S THE SEVENTH A PACK TEARS THING
01:10:28THERE. IT'S GETTING CROWDED UP IN HERE. OKAY, SO WE'LL SHOW
01:10:32YOU THAT IN A SECOND. BUT, UH,
01:10:33THAT'S A LOT OF MUGS, MAN. A LOT.
01:10:36>> OF TEARS. >> OKAY. >> THE THING IS THAT THE GOOD
01:10:39NEWS ABOUT POLITICS AND POLITICIANS IS THEY'RE COPYCATS.
01:10:43SO WHEN THEY SEE SOMETHING THAT WORKS, THEY'RE GOING TO START
01:10:46DOING IT, LOOK, AND CONTINUING TO DO IT. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU
01:10:49SEE FOLKS ACTUALLY WIN WITH AN AGGRESSIVE CAMPAIGN THAT TALKS
01:10:52ABOUT ACTUALLY WHAT PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT. PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS AFRAID OF DOING THINGS LIKE
01:10:55THAT. YOU BROUGHT UP THE AIPAC TEARS MUGS. PEOPLE WERE AFRAID
01:10:58TO TALK ABOUT AIPAC. PEOPLE ARE AFRAID TO TALK ABOUT GENOCIDE.
01:11:02PEOPLE ARE AFRAID TO TALK ABOUT US SENDING ALL OF OUR MONEY INTO
01:11:04THESE KINDS OF CONFLICTS. AND NOW THAT IT'S STARTING TO LOOK
01:11:08LIKE IT MAKES SOME SENSE, I'M NOT SURE IF YOU GUYS SAW THIS, BECAUSE I WAS WATCHING FOX NEWS. ONCE THINGS STARTED TEETERING IN
01:11:11THE WRONG DIRECTION FOR THESE GUYS, THEY ACTUALLY HAD WHEN
01:11:14TRUMP WAS ON FOR WAY TOO LONG,
01:11:16GRUMBLING AND TALKING, THEY ASKED HIM, UH, I'M NOT SURE IF
01:11:20IT WAS DANA, DANA BASH. UM, BUT BRET BAIER AND ALL THEM, THEY
01:11:23ASKED HIM, SO ARE YOU GONNA DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT IN ISRAEL
01:11:26NOW? AND I SAID, WHAT NETWORK IS THIS? AND SUDDENLY THEY'RE
01:11:29ASKING HIM A QUESTION ABOUT, IS HE GOING TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENTLY IN ISRAEL? AND THERE
01:11:33WERE NO CALLS FOR ANTI-SEMITISM. SUDDENLY, OUT OF NOWHERE, WE CAN
01:11:36SEE IT. NUMBER TWO, HAVE YOU HEARD ANYONE IN THE LAST WEEK OF
01:11:40THIS CAMPAIGN FROM ANY OF THESE FOLKS WHO JUST GOT THEIR
01:11:44WHOOPED? HAVE YOU HEARD ANYBODY TALKING ABOUT TRANSGENDER? FOR
01:11:47EVERYBODY, UH, MEN AND WOMEN'S SPORTS. THAT WAS ALL Bs THEY WERE DOING THAT TO DISTRACT
01:11:51FOLKS. AND WHEN THEY SEE THAT IT WASN'T WORKING ANYMORE,
01:11:53SUDDENLY THOSE ARE PRINCIPLES THAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT. IF
01:11:56YOU FOCUS IN AND STOP, YOU KNOW,
01:11:59AND WE THINK MAYBE FINALLY THIS DEMOCRATIC PARTY, STOP GOING
01:12:02WITH EVERYTHING THAT THEY'RE NARRATING AND GENERATING AS
01:12:04ACTUAL ISSUES, AND SHOVE THAT ASIDE. WE GET SOMEWHERE AND MORE
01:12:08PEOPLE WILL LOOK UP AND GO, OH, I CAN BE TRUTHFUL NOW. AND MAYBE
01:12:12WE'LL HAVE PEOPLE BE TRUTHFUL, AND MAYBE CONSTITUENTS WILL
01:12:15EXPECT OUR POLITICIANS TO BE TRUTHFUL WITH US. I MEAN, THE
01:12:18NEXT STEP IS WHETHER OR NOT DEMOCRATS WILL DO THAT. ONCE
01:12:21THEY HAVE THIS POWER. >> YEAH. >> SO.
01:12:24>> YEAH. SO I WANT TO GO TO NINA NEXT BECAUSE WHAT HAPPENED? WHAT'S HAPPENING IN MISSISSIPPI
01:12:28ALSO MATCHES WHAT YOU'RE SAYING COMPLETELY. BUT I WANT TO JUST
01:12:31TOUCH ON, UH, WHAT J.R. SAID THERE, BECAUSE A LOT OF GREAT
01:12:35POINTS IN THERE. SO FIRST LOOK, GUYS, EVERYTHING IS SITUATIONAL,
01:12:38RIGHT? SO IN 2024, I THOUGHT
01:12:42THAT SOME OF THOSE IDENTITY POLITICS ISSUES WAS GOING TO
01:12:45HURT THE DEMOCRATS THIS TIME AROUND. ON THE WHEN THE
01:12:49REPUBLICANS TRIED IT, I THOUGHT IT WAS SUPER LAME AND THAT IT
01:12:52WASN'T GOING TO WORK AT ALL. BUT WHAT'S THE
01:12:54>> DIFFERENCE POLITICALLY. PUT
01:12:56ASIDE THE POLICIES. RIGHT. POLITICALLY, THE GIANT
01:13:00DIFFERENCE WAS NOW THEY'RE IN CHARGE. AND THIS IS NOT THE TIME
01:13:03FOR, HEY, DID YOUR, YOU KNOW,
01:13:07DID THREE YOU KNOW, DID IT AFFECT THREE PEOPLE IN THE STATE
01:13:11OF IOWA? RIGHT. THIS TIME FOR. NO, NO, NO, YOU'RE NOT GETTING
01:13:13IT AS THAT GUY, THE RED BARON DELIVERY GUY WHO LOST IT ON THE
01:13:17KID DOING A PRANK ON. ONLINE. I
01:13:20DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS SAW
01:13:22THAT, BUT, UM, HE'S LIKE, I
01:13:26DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO PAY THE MORTGAGE. I GOT FOUR KIDS AT
01:13:28HOME. RIGHT? AND YOU'RE SITTING
01:13:31HERE PLAYING AROUND, RIGHT? AND HE WAS YELLING AT THIS KID WHO
01:13:33WAS DOING A PRANK ONLINE, BUT I
01:13:35FELT IN SOME WAY THAT IT WAS,
01:13:38LIKE, CATHARTIC FOR THE COUNTRY. AND IT WAS LIKE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE YELLING AT OUR
01:13:42POLITICIANS, THIS IS NOT THE
01:13:46TIME FOR YOUR Bs ABOUT IDENTITY POLITICS, MAN. I DON'T WANT TO. AND THEY WERE STILL WENT TO THAT. WELL, THEY WENT TO THAT.
01:13:50WELL WITH TALARICO. THEY WENT TO
01:13:53THAT WELL WITH UM, IN SOUTH
01:13:55CAROLINA AGAINST, UH, ANNIE.
01:13:57I'M BLANKING. ANNIE ANDREWS.
01:14:01AND SO THAT WELL IS J.R. IS 100%
01:14:04RIGHT. THAT WELL IS SO DRY. AND ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE IN. AND
01:14:07THEY WENT TO THAT WELL AGAINST ABDUL EL-SAYED, UH, IN MICHIGAN,
01:14:11BUT NOT JUST HIM AGAINST ADAM HOLLOWAY IN NEW JERSEY AND ALL
01:14:15OF THEIR IDENTITY POLITICS, Bs
01:14:18RAN STRAIGHT INTO A BRICK WALL.
01:14:20RIGHT? SO THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS
01:14:22WHEN PEOPLE WAKE UP AND REALIZE,
01:14:26NO, THESE PEOPLE ARE MESSING AROUND WITH OUR LIVES, RIGHT?
01:14:29AND THEY'RE HURTING US AND OUR FAMILIES AND OUR ABILITY TO
01:14:32LIVE. AND THEN THEY WANT TO USE OTHER PEOPLE AS AN EXCUSE, UH,
01:14:35TO, FOR YOUR PAIN. AND IT JUST DIDN'T WORK AT ALL. AND I LOVE
01:14:39IT. AND I'M HERE FOR IT. GREAT
01:14:41POINT. YOU ARE NOW, UH, NINA, THAT BRINGS US BACK TO WHAT WE
01:14:45WERE DISCUSSING, BECAUSE, LOOK,
01:14:49THE REPUBLICANS PLAYED IDENTITY POLITICS AND FELL FLAT ON THEIR FACE. NOW, ON THE OTHER HAND,
01:14:52YOU HAVE DEMOCRATS WHO TALK A
01:14:57GOOD GAME ON IDENTITY ISSUES.
01:15:02BUT HERE WE HAVE NOW THREE EXAMPLES. ANGIE NIXON IN
01:15:04FLORIDA. UH, AND NOW WE HAD, UH,
01:15:07SCOTT COLOM TO THE LIST IN MISSISSIPPI. RIGHT. AND THEN YOU
01:15:11GOT CHARLES BOOKER IN KENTUCKY. LAST I CHECKED IN ON THAT RACE,
01:15:14THAT WAS A SEVEN POINT RACE. AND
01:15:17SO IN KENTUCKY, FOR MCCONNELL'S OLD SEAT AND ALL THREE, AS FAR
01:15:21AS I CAN TELL, WERE LEFT OUT TO
01:15:23DRY. AND ESPECIALLY IN THE
01:15:25CONTEXT, NINA OF MICHIGAN, WHERE
01:15:30THE NEWS SPENT SO MUCH TIME TALKING ABOUT HOW ABDUL EL-SAYED
01:15:34MIGHT NOT WIN OVER AFRICAN-AMERICAN VOTERS, AS IF THEY CARED. AND THAT ONE WAS A
01:15:38FICTIONAL DEVICE THAT THEY WERE TRYING TO CREATE BETWEEN THE
01:15:42DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE AND THE BLACK COMMUNITY
01:15:45>> I MEAN, THE BLACK PEOPLE ARE
01:15:48GONNA VOTE OVERWHELMINGLY FOR THE DEMOCRAT REGARDLESS. UM, I
01:15:51COULD DO A WHOLE SHOW ON WHY I
01:15:54THINK THE BLACK COMMUNITY NEEDS
01:15:56TO STEADY ITSELF A LITTLE BIT
01:15:58AND NOT BE. AND I'M NOT, I'M NOT REFERRING TO THE MICHIGAN
01:16:02RACE IN PARTICULAR. DRINK. JOHN
01:16:05JR. I AM REFERRING TO HOW THE
01:16:09BLACK COMMUNITY IS USED BY THE
01:16:10DEMOCRATIC PARTY TO SAVE
01:16:13EVERYBODY ELSE. AND HAVE NOTHING TO SHOW FOR IT. SO YOU'RE RIGHT
01:16:17ABOUT THEM PAINTING UM, EL-SAYED IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY. AND THAT
01:16:21THERE WAS TENSION, THERE WAS SOME TENSION, BUT IT HAD VERY
01:16:25LITTLE TO DO DIRECTLY WITH DOCTOROW EL-SAYED, AND IT HAD TO
01:16:28DO WITH ANTI-BLACKNESS IN
01:16:32GENERAL, WHICH IS A REFLECTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
01:16:35AND SOME TENSION THAT SOME BLACK
01:16:39PEOPLE FELT AND STILL FEEL EVEN
01:16:40TO THIS DAY, WITH SOME ARAB
01:16:43AMERICAN BUSINESSES. WE SHOULD TALK ABOUT THAT AT ANOTHER TIME.
01:16:47HE DOESN'T WEAR ALL OF THAT. SO
01:16:49YOU'RE RIGHT. THEY TRIED TO CONTINUE TO GIN THAT UP. THEY
01:16:52SAW THAT OPENING, BUT IT DIDN'T WORK. ONE OF THE REASONS WHY IT
01:16:55DIDN'T WORK, YOU KNOW. THANK
01:16:58YOU, STEVENS, FOR JUMPING IN THERE DOING THAT FOOLISHNESS.
01:17:01BUT ALSO, THEY NEED TO SEND HER SOME FLOWERS IN A BOX OF CANDY
01:17:05AND SAY, THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
01:17:08BUT ALSO, LET'S FACE IT, BLACK
01:17:11PEOPLE VOTE OVERWHELMINGLY FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. SO IT COULD HAVE BEEN MICKEY MOUSE
01:17:14THAT MADE IT THROUGH THE GENERAL ELECTION. BLACK PEOPLE WERE
01:17:18GOING TO PERFORM. NOW THAT AND I'M NOT TRYING TO TAKE ANYTHING FROM DR. EL-SAYED, BUT THOSE
01:17:22WERE THE FACTS. THEY WANTED TO MAKE IT SEEM OTHERWISE. I DO
01:17:25HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY COMMUNITY
01:17:28DOING THAT, AND WE GOT TO HAVE A
01:17:30RECKONING. YOUR POINT ABOUT MISSISSIPPI MAN, SCOTT, THAT
01:17:34MEDGAR EVERS COMMERCIAL THAT HE RAN. AND BOY, IF Y'ALL HAVE NOT
01:17:37SEEN THAT COMMERCIAL WHERE HE WENT ALL THE WAY IN AND ALL THE
01:17:41WAY AT IT, HE THERE IN MISSISSIPPI, BASICALLY FIGHTING
01:17:44BY HIMSELF. THE SAME THING WITH
01:17:45CHARLES BOOKER, WHO THIS WAS HIS
01:17:49SECOND TIME AROUND, MAN. AND I BELIEVE PRESIDENT OBAMA DID
01:17:53EVENTUALLY ENDORSE HIM, BUT HE ENDORSED EVERYBODY ELSE BEFORE
01:17:56HE ENDORSED THIS RIGHTEOUS
01:17:58BROTHER. AND THEN SISTER ANGIE
01:18:00NIXON IT, TAKING IT HARD, HAS
01:18:05PROVEN HERSELF AS A STATE LEGISLATOR. YOU DON'T HAVE TO
01:18:08ASK AND WONDER WHERE SHE WAS AND WHERE SHE IS ON BEHALF OF THE
01:18:11PEOPLE. FOR THE MOST PART, YOU
01:18:14DON'T, BECAUSE HER RECORD SHOWS
01:18:16THAT SHE'S BOLD AND SHE'S WILLING TO BE UNCONVENTIONAL,
01:18:20AND YET THEY LEFT HER THERE. SO, YES, THERE HAS TO BE A
01:18:23RECKONING. AND THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY SHOULDN'T GET REAL
01:18:27COMFORTABLE. BUT THEY ARE, YOU KNOW, I HOPE WE SPEAK ABOUT THE
01:18:30FUTURE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE, WHO, UNLESS HE CHANGES HIS WAYS,
01:18:34I FEEL LIKE HE IS AN UTTER
01:18:38DISGRACE TO THE FOUNDERS OF THE CONGRESSIONAL BLACK CAUCUS,
01:18:42SOMEBODY WHO HAS SAID, ISRAEL
01:18:45TODAY, ISRAEL FOREVER, UH, ISRAEL TOMORROW. WHAT WAS IT
01:18:48TODAY, TOMORROW AND FOREVER? IS
01:18:49THAT WHAT HE SAID? QUOTING A
01:18:53SEGREGATIONIST GOVERNOR WHEN IT
01:18:55CAME TO THE STATE OF ISRAEL
01:18:59AGAINST THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED
01:19:01STATES OF AMERICA, AND THEN TO
01:19:04HAVE THE PURE, UNADULTERATED GOD SAY HE DON'T BELIEVE IN MEDICARE FOR ALL. WHEN IT WAS
01:19:08POPULAR, THOUGH, HE DID SIGN ON TO IT. AND NOW HE'S CHANGED HIS
01:19:11MIND. THIS MAN SHOULD NEVER BE
01:19:14THE FIRST BLACK SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE, BUT HE IS GOING TO BE. SO
01:19:17LET'S SEE IF HE CAN BE MOVED.
01:19:19AND IF HE DOES NOT MOVE ON
01:19:23BEHALF OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, THEN HE NEEDS TO BE MOVED OUT OF
01:19:26OFFICE. >> OKAY, NOW, YOU GUYS, A LOT OF
01:19:29LOVE HERE FROM THE VIEWERS AND THE MEMBERS THAT ARE WATCHING. I
01:19:33WANT TO READ THAT FOR YOU IN A
01:19:35MINUTE. NINA. BUT, UH, BUT I
01:19:37WANT TO STAY ON THAT FOR A SECOND. UM, LOOK, SO YOU EXPLAIN
01:19:41ALL THE DOWNSIDES. ABSOLUTELY. I
01:19:45WANT TO COME BACK TO HAKEEM JEFFRIES IN A MINUTE, AND YOU
01:19:47PUT IT PERFECTLY, UH, I MEAN, USING A SEGREGATIONIST LINE
01:19:51AGAINST THE PALESTINIANS. IT'S UNREAL. IT'S UNREAL. HOW DOES
01:19:54HE NOT EVEN UNDERSTAND THE HISTORY OF THAT? RIGHT?
01:19:57>> THAT'S CORRECT. >> YEAH. NOW, UM, BUT WHAT I
01:20:01WANTED TO ASK YOU ABOUT IS, LOOK, UH, BOOKER'S RUN A COUPLE
01:20:05OF TIMES. WE LIKE CHARLES BOOKER
01:20:06A LOT. SO I, I THINK HE STILL
01:20:10HAS PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITY IN KENTUCKY, BUT WITH SCOTT, UH,
01:20:13CALLAN. AND, AND ANGIE NIXON, THIS IS OUR FIRST TIME AROUND
01:20:17WITH THEM. THIS IS OUR TIME. TIME FOR FLORIDA AND MISSISSIPPI
01:20:20TO MEET THEM. RIGHT? SO IT'S RO
01:20:25KHANNA TALKED ABOUT IT WHEN HE WAS ON HERE ABOUT ANGIE NIXON. IT FEELS LIKE WE GOT TWO STARS
01:20:29ON OUR HANDS NOW. LIKE, EVEN
01:20:31THOUGH THEY, YOU KNOW, AND WE
01:20:33DON'T EVEN COLOM'S RACE IS NOT EVEN OVER YET. HE MIGHT BE THE
01:20:37SENATOR FROM MISSISSIPPI. YEAH.
01:20:40AMAZING. BUT, UH, BUT IT FEELS
01:20:43LIKE THAT THESE ARE FOLKS THAT
01:20:45EVERYBODY NEEDS TO GET BEHIND, AND WE NEED TO DO IT AGAIN AND
01:20:49DO IT RIGHT THIS TIME. DOES THAT, DOES THAT SOUND RIGHT TO YOU? >> I'M GLAD YOU.
01:20:52>> BROUGHT THAT UP BECAUSE, YEAH, I'M BEING, I'M GRADING.
01:20:55I'M, I'M, YOU KNOW, I'M FEELING SOME THINGS, AS, YOU
01:20:58KNOW, UH, RIGHT NOW. SO I'M GLAD YOU'RE BRINGING US BACK. YEAH. AWESOME OPPORTUNITY THERE. NO
01:21:02WAY DOES ANY OF THIS MAKE OR
01:21:07BREAK THOSE THREE PEOPLE THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. THERE IS
01:21:10MORE WORK FOR THEM TO DO, AND THEY'RE GOING TO BE POSITIONED
01:21:12TO DO IT SOMETIMES. YOU KNOW, ONE OF MY FAVORITE SINGERS,
01:21:16FANTASIA, HAS A SONG THAT I LOVE. SOMETIMES YOU GOT TO LOSE
01:21:19TO WIN AGAIN. AND I DO BELIEVE
01:21:23JUST EVEN FROM MY OWN EXPERIENCE, BUT I DO BELIEVE
01:21:26THAT THOSE THREE, UH, WE ALREADY KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO THE TWO.
01:21:29WE DON'T KNOW WHAT MAY HAPPEN
01:21:31FOR SCOTT, BUT FOR ANGIE NIXON,
01:21:34HONORABLE ANGIE NIXON, AND HONORABLE CHARLES BOOKER, THE
01:21:37BEST IS STILL YET TO COME. SO THANK YOU FOR FOR PULLING ME
01:21:40BACK IN. I'M HOT.
01:21:43>> RIGHT NOW
01:21:45>> SO I THINK THEY GOT A GREAT FUTURE AHEAD, AND I CAN'T WAIT
01:21:49TO TO HELP THEM NEXT TIME
01:21:51AROUND. UH, AND MAYBE THAT'S
01:21:55FOR INCUMBENT SENATOR. FROM MISSISSIPPI. WE'LL SEE. WE'LL SEE TONIGHT. UH, LET ME QUICKLY
01:21:59READ THESE FOR YOU. UH, AND
01:22:05INTRO FI CORSI WRITES IN WHAT'S UP NINA. GREAT TEAM TONIGHT.
01:22:06GREAT COVERAGE. KEEP IT UP. YOU
01:22:09WAFFLE HOUSE LEADER CONTRIBUTED. THANK YOU. SLEEK 24 SAYS GREAT
01:22:12TO SEE NINA PARTYING WITH US.
01:22:14UM, UH, DOC, INTERN SAYS ON THE
01:22:17COKE GALORE ON THE PBD ELECTION SHOW. WE GOT A CLIP FROM THAT
01:22:20ABOUT THEM ON EL-SAYED IN A MINUTE THAT I THINK YOU GUYS ARE
01:22:23GOING TO ENJOY. NO VITRIOL HERE. THANK YOU FOR BEING SO GENEROUS
01:22:27ON SUPER CHAT. SAYS HELL YEAH, SENDING SOME SPARE CHANGE AND
01:22:30SOME LOVE. SOME OF MY FAVORITE PEOPLE RIGHT HERE. NO BETTER PLACE TO GET GOOD NEWS AND
01:22:34PREPARE FOR THE NEXT FEW MONTHS
01:22:36TOGETHER. FUDGE. EXCEPT I
01:22:38DIDN'T SAY FUDGE AND INTRO
01:22:43WROTE BACK IN MESSAGE OF THE NIGHT. ALL CAPS GET MONEY OUT OF
01:22:45POLITICS. LOVE THY NEIGHBOR. STOP THE GENOCIDE. AMERICA
01:22:49FIRST, NOT ISRAEL. AMERICANS AREN'T STUPID. GOOD JOB. T T
01:22:53THANK YOU, BROTHER. THANK YOU. WE APPRECIATE IT. JOHN, YOU GOT SOMETHING? >> YEAH. I'D LIKE TO THROW OUT
01:22:57JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS. SO THE LOUISIANA RACE HAS BEEN CALLED,
01:23:01BUT AS WE SORT OF WE THOUGHT WAS GOING TO BE THE CASE, LIKE 30%
01:23:04AGO, IT IT'S, IT'S LIKE, IT'S
01:23:07SO CLOSE. IT'S SO VERY, VERY
01:23:10CLOSE IN LOUISIANA. THAT IS THAT
01:23:12IS ABSOLUTELY CRAZY. SO THAT IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING MISSISSIPPI
01:23:16HASN'T ACTUALLY BUDGED. BUT ONE THING I HADN'T LOOKED AT IN A
01:23:19BIT LAUREN BOEBERT IS CURRENTLY
01:23:23LOSING WITH 90% OF THE VOTE IN
01:23:26IN HER CONGRESSIONAL RACE, AND THE RACE LEANS TOWARDS EILEEN
01:23:30LAUBACHER. I HAD NOT EVEN HEARD THAT THE POLLING WAS AGAINST HER. IN THAT CASE, SHE.
01:23:34>> IT WASN'T NO. >> REMEMBER.
01:23:36>> REMEMBER. SORRY. BOEBERT
01:23:38SWITCHED INTO A MORE CONSERVATIVE DISTRICT AFTER
01:23:42REDISTRICTING. LAST TIME AROUND. >> SHE FLED, BEING DEFEATED, AND
01:23:45SHE MOVED HER WHOLE FAMILY. SHE DID THE WHOLE CARPETBAGGING THING, AND NOW SHE'S GOING TO
01:23:48HAVE TO MOVE BACK. OR DOES SHE
01:23:50JUST KEEP GOING WEST, TRYING TO FIND MORE FERTILE TERRITORY? I
01:23:54DON'T KNOW. >> I MEAN, I WAS GOING TO SAY. >> MAYBE SHE SHOULD. >> COMING IN. SWIFT.
01:23:58>> YEAH, YEAH. AND I HAVE A BIGGER NUMBER TO, TO, TO TELL
01:24:00YOU ABOUT LIKE A GENERAL THING.
01:24:02>> I WAS GOING TO SAY, MAYBE SHE
01:24:05SHOULD MOVE FURTHER SOUTH. RIGHT. BUT APPARENTLY THAT'S NOT GOING TO HELP HER EITHER. NO.
01:24:09>> NOT AT ALL. >> YEAH. UM, HERE'S AN
01:24:12INTERESTING THING. SO EVERYBODY REMEMBER THE 2024 RACE WHERE IN
01:24:15ADDITION TO, YOU KNOW, THE SPECIFIC RESULTS, YOU SAW ALL
01:24:18THOSE MAPS GOING AROUND OF ALL THE COUNTIES WITH ALL THE ARROWS AND THE ARROWS WERE RED. AND IT
01:24:22WAS LIKE, OH MY GOD, THEY'RE
01:24:27>> GAINING EVERYWHERE. >> SO ON AVERAGE, ACROSS ALL THE
01:24:30COUNTIES, UH, IT WAS A FIVE
01:24:32POINT MOVE IN 2024 TOWARDS THE RIGHT. RIGHT NOW OF ALL OF THE
01:24:36COUNTIES, IT IS A 16 POINT SWING
01:24:41TOWARDS THE DEMOCRATS MORE THAN
01:24:42THREE TIMES. AND AMONGST NON-COLLEGE-EDUCATED WHITE
01:24:46VOTERS, IT SWUNG FOUR TIMES MORE TOWARDS THE DEMOCRATS NOW THAN
01:24:50IT DID TOWARDS TRUMP IN 2024.
01:24:52NOW WE'RE NOT DONE. THERE'S STILL MORE DATA TO COME IN AND
01:24:55EVERYTHING, BUT IT IS A BIGGER REPUDIATION OF A PRESIDENT THAN
01:24:58I THINK IN OUR LIFETIMES. >> THEY THROWN THEY'VE BEEN
01:25:02THROWN OUT. YOU KNOW, WHAT DID
01:25:05PRESIDENT OBAMA SAY IN 2010? THE SHELLACKING. >> YEAH.
01:25:07>> THEY BE I THINK RECEIVING
01:25:12THIS MESSAGE, THEY HAVE BEEN TOTALLY THROWN OUT.
01:25:15>> I THINK A LOT OF THIS IS COUPLED WITH THE NATURE OF THE
01:25:18WAY THAT PEOPLE GET INFORMATION. NOW, UH, THERE'S PEOPLE THAT,
01:25:20AND TO YOUR POINT, UH, NINA, ABOUT SOME OF THESE CANDIDATES
01:25:23THAT DIDN'T GET MUCH HELP. I'VE
01:25:25BEEN FOCUSING SO MUCH ON ANGIE
01:25:28NIXON, THE WAY SHE RAN, THAT WITHOUT THE KIND OF ENERGY AND SUPPORT THAT YOU WOULD EXPECT. AND THEN YOU LOOK UP AND GO,
01:25:32MAN, SHE KEEPS DOING THIS. LISTEN, BECAUSE SHE GOT THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW EVERYONE WHO
01:25:36SHE IS WITHOUT ANYONE CHARACTERIZING HER. AND AS
01:25:39PEOPLE GET TO SEE IT, IT'S FREE. I MEAN, NOT FULLY, BUT YOU GET TO GO ON THE INTERNET, YOU GET
01:25:43TO SEE WHAT THEY POST, YOU GET TO SEE WHAT THEY TALK ABOUT. AND EVEN WHEN IT COMES TO THE
01:25:46SUPPORT FROM THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS
01:25:49WHERE AS MORE PEOPLE SEE IT, AND DOWN HERE IN THE SOUTH, ALL OF
01:25:52THAT, THE VOTERS SEE WHO THESE FOLKS ARE. AND THEN THERE'S
01:25:55THIS. THERE'S THESE ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT SOUTHERN VOTERS, AND THERE'S NEW GENERATIONS OF
01:25:59PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, SO THERE'S THIS THOUGHT OF THE OLD GUARD
01:26:02AND THE OLD SOUTHERN FOLKS. THERE'S NEW SOUTHERN FOLKS. THERE'S FOLKS THAT HAVE GROWN
01:26:06UP. YEAH, YOU CAN SEE IT JUST FROM SCHOOL BOARD THINGS. JUST
01:26:09FROM WHERE I LIVE. YOU CAN SEE HOW PEOPLE SUPPORT HOW PEOPLE
01:26:12SUPPORT THEIR STUDENTS, AND HOW THE FORMER WAY THAT THEY TREATED
01:26:15CERTAIN FOLKS IN THIS COUNTRY IS NOT BEING TOLERATED ANYMORE.
01:26:18THERE'S LOCAL POLITICS THAT ARE LIKE, HOLD ON, THIS ISN'T GOING TO HAPPEN ANYMORE. AND IF YOU'RE
01:26:21NOT THERE IN EACH OF THESE STATES, I WAS JUST AS SURPRISED
01:26:25BY MISSISSIPPI, WHAT'S GOING ON OVER THERE, TOO. BUT IT'S NOT
01:26:28THAT SURPRISING WHEN YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THESE FOLKS HAVE BEEN LIVING HERE. THIS IS WHERE
01:26:32THEY ARE FROM. THIS IS WHAT THEY'VE DEVELOPED. THIS IS WHAT THEY'VE BUILT. AND THEY'RE NOT
01:26:35LEAVING, AND THEY'RE NOT AFRAID OF MAKING SURE THEY GET
01:26:38REPRESENTATION FOR US, FOR OUR CONTINUAL ADVANCEMENT, FOR WHERE
01:26:41WE ARE. AND THAT'S JUST SOMETHING YOU CAN'T STOP. THAT'S WHY THERE'S SO MANY, SO
01:26:45MUCH OF THE OPPOSITION, EVEN FROM DOESN'T MATTER THE BACKGROUND OF THE DEMOGRAPHIC OR
01:26:49THE MINORITY GROUP THAT THEY'RE TARGETING, WHAT THEY ALWAYS TRY TO DO IS SCARE YOU ABOUT THEM.
01:26:52THEY'RE TRYING TO SCARE YOU ABOUT MUSLIMS, SO THEY'VE ALWAYS
01:26:54SCARED YOU ABOUT BLACK FOLKS. THEY'RE TRYING TO SCARE YOU ABOUT TRANS FOLKS. THEY'RE
01:26:58TRYING TO SCARE YOU ABOUT GAY FOLKS. IT'S ALWAYS THE SAME SCARE TACTICS. BUT WHEN PEOPLE
01:27:01GET A CHANCE TO SEE AND HEAR AND EXPERIENCE AND LIVE NEAR THOSE
01:27:04FOLKS, IT, IT GETS ELIMINATED. SO THE SPREAD OF INFORMATION IS
01:27:08ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT CHANGES THIS.
01:27:10>> YEAH. SO YOU ARE SO RIGHT. BECAUSE IN A SENSE, THEY
01:27:13ATTACKED ABDUL EL-SAYED SO MUCH
01:27:15THAT PEOPLE GOT TO KNOW HIM. AND AFTER THEY GOT TO KNOW HIM A
01:27:19LITTLE BIT IN THAT RACE, THEY'RE LIKE, WHERE'S THE SCARY MUSLIM
01:27:22GUY? THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT? THAT GUY LOOKS AND TALKS JUST
01:27:26LIKE ME. RIGHT? AND HE PLAYED FOOTBALL LIKE ME IN HIGH SCHOOL.
01:27:29HE HAS THE SAME PRIORITIES AS ME, THE SAME POLICIES. WHERE IS
01:27:32THIS DIVISION AND ALL? THE
01:27:34DIVISION IS ARTIFICIAL. THEY'RE
01:27:37TRYING TO DIVIDE US. TALARICO TALKED ABOUT, YOU KNOW,
01:27:41HONESTLY, THE SAME THING I SAY, WHICH IS DON'T LOOK LEFT, DON'T LOOK RIGHT. LOOK UP. YOUR
01:27:44PROBLEMS ARE FROM THE COMING UP, FROM THE PEOPLE ABOVE YOU. THE
01:27:48DONOR OWNERS, AS NINA SAYS. RIGHT. SO I GOT MORE ON THAT AND
01:27:51I GOT MORE ON LOUISIANA, WHERE J.R. IS RIGHT NOW. BUT JOHN, YOU
01:27:55GOT A CALL. >> YES. SO WE HAD, I DON'T
01:27:57BELIEVE WE MENTIONED, BUT DERRICK VAN ORDEN WAS DEFEATED.
01:28:00BY THE WAY. I KNOW WE'VE COVERED HIM ON THE YOUNG TURKS. UH,
01:28:03BEFORE. SO WE HAVE THAT. AND
01:28:07LET'S SEE, I HAD A ROUND UP OF THE, UH, DSA ENDORSED
01:28:11CANDIDATES. SCOTT COLOM. BY THE
01:28:12WAY, THAT RACE HAS. NO, IT WAS
01:28:15LEANING. CINDY HYDE-SMITH. THAT'S WHAT THE NEW YORK TIMES BEEN SAYING FOR SOME TIME. THEY'VE TAKEN THAT AWAY. IT'S
01:28:19NOW A TOSS UP. UM, AND SO THAT
01:28:22THAT'S LOOKING LIKE THERE'S PROBABLY GOING TO END UP BEING A
01:28:24RECOUNT IN THAT WE'RE STILL AT 22% THERE. WE'RE UP TO 80% NOW
01:28:28WITH ABDUL EL-SAYED, HE'S BEEN
01:28:31STEADILY GROWING HIS LEAD SLIGHTLY. HE'S NOW UP BY
01:28:34BASICALLY SIX POINTS. AND AGAIN, THE NEW YORK TIMES THINKS THAT
01:28:37HE IS ALMOST CERTAINLY GOING TO
01:28:39WIN. UH, WHICH IS GOOD NEWS.
01:28:42>> OKAY. I WOULD NORMALLY CALL THAT ON A NORMAL ELECTION NIGHT,
01:28:45BUT I'M TOO NERVOUS ABOUT THAT RACE TO, TO TAKE EVEN A
01:28:49SCINTILLA OF A CHANCE. SO LET'S STAY HERE AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
01:28:52BUT A SIX POINT LEAD WITH WHAT PERCENTAGE REPORTING?
01:28:55>> THAT'S 80%. THE ONE OTHER RACE THAT I DID WANT TO MENTION
01:28:58IS JUST A HOUSE RACE. BUT BRIAN
01:29:00POINDEXTER, IT'S BEEN CALLED FOR OHIO'S SEVENTH CONGRESSIONAL
01:29:03DISTRICT OVER THE INCUMBENT, MAX
01:29:06MILLER, WHO WE TALKED ABOUT
01:29:08EARLIER IN THE NIGHT. OH, SO YOU'RE FAMILIAR.
01:29:11>> OH MY GOD. LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING. THE COMMERCIALS, THEY RAN AGAINST THAT MAN WERE
01:29:14BRUTAL. I MEAN, JUST ABSOLUTELY
01:29:16BRUTAL. AND TO A POINT THAT J.R. MADE EARLIER ABOUT THE IDENTITY.
01:29:20AND YOU MADE THE SAME COMMENTS. I MEAN, THEY THEY DID PLAY THOSE
01:29:23COMMERCIALS IN HERE IN THE STATE
01:29:25OF OHIO. AND HAD THE PURE, UNADULTERATED GALL TO BLAME
01:29:28DEMOCRATS WHEN THEY CONTROL ALL THE STATEWIDE OFFICE, ALL THE
01:29:32CONSTITUTIONAL OFFICES, THE LEGISLATURE, AMY ACTON HAD NOT
01:29:35HELD AN ELECTED OFFICE, YOU KNOW, BUT THEY STILL WERE
01:29:37RUNNING THESE BIZARRE, CRAZY, RIDICULOUS ADS. AND ONE OF THE
01:29:41THINGS THAT I SAID TO, TO MY HUSBAND, I SAID, IF ANY OHIOAN,
01:29:44EVEN IF THEY WANT TO VOTE REPUBLICAN, IF THEY BELIEVE
01:29:48THIS, THIS, THIS FOOLISHNESS, WHEN THESE PEOPLE GOT ALL THE
01:29:50CONTROL, BUT THEY TRIED IT, THEY TRIED IT IN OHIO, AND THEY WERE
01:29:54NOT AS SUCCESSFUL AS THEY WANTED
01:29:55TO BE. SOMETHING YOU BROUGHT UP
01:29:58ABOUT THE OTHER RACES, THE, THE,
01:30:00THE RACES THAT, YOU KNOW, THE, THE STATE LEVEL RACES, THE LOCAL
01:30:04RACES, ALL OF THOSE RACES ARE SO
01:30:06VITALLY IMPORTANT. I KNOW THIS
01:30:09IS A HOT NIGHT FOR THE CONGRESS. WE HAVE TO CONSTANTLY KEEP OUR
01:30:12EYE ON THOSE STATE LEGISLATURES. JOHN, I BELIEVE YOU BROUGHT THAT
01:30:15UP IN TERMS OF WHO DRAWS THE
01:30:17LINES. ALL OF THESE OFFICES HAVE
01:30:19TO WORK IN CONCERT TO CHANGE MATERIAL CONDITIONS. IT'S NOT
01:30:23JUST ONE. SO I KNOW THAT THE CAMERAS AND THE GLITZ, SO TO
01:30:26SPEAK, ALWAYS GOES TO THE CONGRESS AND TO THE FEDERAL
01:30:30LEVEL. MORE LIKELY THAN NOT. BUT PLEASE, LET'S NOT SLEEP ON
01:30:33THOSE STATE LEVEL OFFICES AND
01:30:35ALSO THOSE LOCAL OFFICES AS WELL. THEY ARE VITALLY
01:30:38IMPORTANT. AND WE HAVE THESE HISTORIC GUBERNATORIAL RACES.
01:30:41YOU KNOW, KEISHA LANCE BOTTOMS AND GEORGIA, EVEN BYRON
01:30:45DONALDSON, EVEN THOUGH I'M LOOKING AT HIM ALL THE WAY
01:30:49SIDEWAYS. BUT HEY, THE BROTHER MADE HISTORY, SO I GOTTA GIVE IT
01:30:52TO HIM. UH, STACEY PLASTIC,
01:30:56GOVERNOR OF THE U.S. TERRITORY OF THE OF THE VIRGIN ISLANDS.
01:30:59UH, WE GOT DAVID CRAWLEY IN
01:31:01WISCONSIN. I MEAN, BABY, IT IS
01:31:05IS HAPPENING THIS TIME AROUND. I MEAN, HISTORY IS BEING MADE. AND
01:31:07THEN, OF COURSE, COUNTLESS OTHER
01:31:09WOMEN WHO ARE NOT BLACK WOMEN.
01:31:12I'M LAYING. AND MEN, I'M TALKING ABOUT THE BLACK FOLKS RIGHT NOW. LET ME JUST REST
01:31:16RIGHT THERE. BUT THERE HAVE BEEN OTHERS. AMY ACTON CERTAINLY IS
01:31:18MAKING HISTORY IN, IN THE GREAT STATE OF OHIO. AND THERE'S SOME
01:31:22OTHER WOMEN WHO ARE NOT BLACK, WHO ARE WON. SO, UM, THIS, THIS,
01:31:26I MEAN, THEY'VE BEEN SHOOK, AS WE SAY. I MEAN, THESE SHOOK.
01:31:30NOW, HERE'S THE KEY, THOUGH, BECAUSE I'M NOT GIDDY ABOUT THIS. SO JAKE IS GOING TO BRING
01:31:33ME BACK TO THE LAND OF HOPE. I
01:31:36AM GOING TO STAY ON. LET'S SEE
01:31:39WHAT THESE FOLKS DO. FROM A
01:31:43POLICY POSITION, BECAUSE AFTER I GET OVER ALL THIS HISTORY
01:31:45THAT'S BEEN MADE, I WANT TO
01:31:47KNOW, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO TO CHANGE MATERIAL CONDITIONS?
01:31:51AND THAT'S WHETHER YOU'RE IN THE STATE LEGISLATURE. A
01:31:54GOVERNOR, AND ESPECIALLY IN THAT
01:31:56CONGRESS, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO
01:32:00DO? BECAUSE IF THE DEMOCRATS SQUANDER THIS VICTORY TWO YEARS
01:32:04FROM NOW, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WILL BE SWINGING BACK THE OTHER WAY, GUARANTEE YOU.
01:32:07>> YEAH, FOR SURE. WE'LL TALK MORE ABOUT THAT AFTER THE BREAK.
01:32:10I WANT TO TALK ABOUT LOUISIANA A LITTLE BIT MORE AFTER THE BREAK. BUT, JOHN, YOU GOT ONE LAST
01:32:14THING BEFORE THE BREAK. >> YEAH. JUST A COUPLE
01:32:16FASCINATING THINGS. BUT JUST WE HAD SAID THAT VO HUBBARD CALLED
01:32:19MICHIGAN DECISION DESK HQ IS ALSO CALLING MICHIGAN AS CNN AND
01:32:23THE NEW YORK TIMES HAVE NOT, UH
01:32:26>> DECISIONS. >> STILL HOLD NOW, JOHN, ARE THEY HOLDING OUT?
01:32:30>> I GUESS? I MEAN, THEY'RE SAYING ALMOST CERTAINLY, BUT THEY WANT TO STICK JUST.
01:32:34>> TO THAT. >> KNOW. >> YEAH. AND, AND AFTER THE
01:32:37BREAK, WE'LL HAVE MORE DUFFY MANDER UPDATES TOO, BY THE WAY.
01:32:40>> OKAY. ALL RIGHT. LOOK,
01:32:42DECISION DESK IS OFFICIAL. SO.
01:32:45BUT. ALL RIGHT, LET'S COME BACK. LET'S SEE IF THE OTHER
01:32:49ONE MORE ORGANIZATION CALLED IT.
01:32:50UH, AND THEN WE WILL GO NUTS. AND I WISH I HAD A MUG THE SIZE
01:32:54OF PATRICK BET DAVIDS FROM WHEN
01:32:57HE FIRST JOINED US IN THE BEGINNING OF THE SHOW WAS
01:32:59GIGANTIC. THAT'S THE A PACK. HERE'S WHAT I'D WANT FOR THE
01:33:03RACE. SO GO GRAB IT AT SHOP TIGHT.COM WHILE THEY STILL
01:33:06EXIST. ALL RIGHT, WE'LL BE RIGHT
01:33:11BACK. >> AND THE YOUNG TURKS YOUTUBE
01:33:13PODCAST, TAKING A BREAK HERE ON C-SPAN 2. WHILE WE'RE IN THIS
01:33:17BREAK, WE'LL TAKE YOU OVER TO OUR LIVE ELECTION NIGHT COVERAGE
01:33:21ON C-SPAN. >> CHANGE YOUR THINKING ABOUT
01:33:232028 AT ALL. MARCO RUBIO. JD VANCE. SOME OF THE OTHER PEOPLE
01:33:27THAT HAVE BEEN. >> THINKING THIS, IT'S STILL A LONG WAY OFF. THAT'S A LONG WAY
01:33:31OFF. >> WHAT IS YOUR MESSAGE TO THE
01:33:34REPUBLICAN PARTY NOW, IN THIS MOMENT >> ALL THEY HAVE TO DO IS COME
01:33:37TOGETHER. WE HAVE TO.
01:33:41>> AND CEASEFIRE HOST DASHA
01:33:43BURNS TRIED TO FIT IN AS MANY
01:33:46QUESTIONS AS SHE COULD TO THE PRESIDENT, AND HE ANSWERED SOME
01:33:48OF THEM. BUT UP IN MICHIGAN,
01:33:50STILL UNCALLED, 78% OF THE VOTE
01:33:56IS IN 52 TO 46%. ABDUL EL-SAYED.
01:33:59HERE HE IS SPEAKING IN THE >> [APPLAUSE] >> DETROIT AREA.
01:34:03>> THANK YOU FOR YOUR >> [APPLAUSE] >> TRUST AND YOUR BELIEF AND
01:34:06YOUR KINDNESS. I'M GOING TO TAKE
01:34:10IT ALL WITH ME, AND I HOPE TO BRING BACK THE KIND OF
01:34:11LEADERSHIP THAT MORE THAN EARNS
01:34:16IT. THE LAST MONTH HAS BROUGHT THE STAKES OF THIS ELECTION INTO
01:34:19SHARP RELIEF. OURS MOVEMENT WAS
01:34:23BUILT OVER THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF, CAMPAIGNING ACROSS
01:34:26MICHIGAN'S BIGGEST CITIES AND SMALLEST TOWNS. WE SPOKE OF A
01:34:29BRIGHTER, A BIGGER, MORE HOPEFUL
01:34:32MICHIGAN. THERE'S AN ASTROTURFED, CORPORATE FUNDED
01:34:36ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN BUILT TO
01:34:42DECEIVE AND >> [APPLAUSE] >> DISTRACT.
01:34:43>> [APPLAUSE] [MUSIC]
01:34:49>> US TO CONTEND WITH THE CRISIS OF GAS OR GROCERIES. THE
01:34:52OPPOSITION DECIDED TO TRY TO
01:34:57DIVIDE US. AT FIRST, THEY POINTED TO MY NAME AND MY FAITH AS IF TO SAY, YOU KNOW, HE'S A
01:35:00LITTLE DIFFERENT. AND WHEN IT
01:35:05DIDN'T WORK, THEY TRIED TO GUILT ME BY ASSOCIATION. AND WHEN THAT DIDN'T WORK, THEY
01:35:08WENT ALL IN ON ONE OF THE
01:35:11UGLIEST CAMPAIGNS WE'VE SEEN IN >> [APPLAUSE] >> OUR LIFETIMES.
01:35:15>> [APPLAUSE] [MUSIC]
01:35:19>> THEY MIGHT HAVE BEEN POINTING TO MY NAME AND MY FAITH, BUT WE ALL KNOW THAT MY NAME AND MY FAITH AREN'T THE REASON
01:35:23>> [APPLAUSE] >> YOU CAN'T AFFORD YOUR GAS. >> [APPLAUSE] >> NOT THE REASON YOU CAN'T
01:35:27AFFORD YOUR GROCERIES. NOT THE
01:35:29REASON YOU CAN'T SEE A DOCTOR.
01:35:32AS I WAS CAMPAIGNING, SOME OF
01:35:34YOU WOULD COME UP AND ASK ME.
01:35:36HOW COME YOU DON'T HIT BACK? HOW COME YOU DON'T CALL THEM
01:35:40RACIST OR HATEFUL? BECAUSE
01:35:43HERE'S THE THING. I DIDN'T RUN
01:35:46FOR MYSELF. AND IN TRUTH, THEY
01:35:48WEREN'T TARGETING ME. THEY WERE
01:35:51JUST WEREN'T JUST ATTACKING ME.
01:35:54THEY WERE TARGETING AND ATTACKING YOU. THEY WERE
01:35:58TARGETING AND ATTACKING THE VERY IDEA OF AMERICA.
01:36:02>> WE RETURN NOW. LIVE TO THE YOUNG TURKS PODCAST COVERAGE OF
01:36:05THE 2026 MIDTERM ELECTIONS HERE
01:36:07ON C-SPAN TWO. CONTINUE TO WATCH
01:36:10FULL ELECTION NIGHT COVERAGE OF RACES AND RESULTS ON C-SPAN AND
01:36:13OUR FREE C-SPAN NOW MOBILE APP. >> AND EVERYONE WHO DOESN'T LOOK
01:36:17LIKE THEM, PRAY LIKE THEM, LOVE LIKE THEM, OR ISN'T RICH LIKE
01:36:20THEM. SO THEY TURN THIS RACE
01:36:23INTO A SIMPLE CHOICE. THEY WANT AN AMERICA THAT IS TOO SMALL FOR
01:36:26SOME OF US. WE KNOW THAT AMERICA
01:36:29IS BIG ENOUGH FOR ALL OF >> [APPLAUSE] >> US.
01:36:32>> ALL RIGHT. UH, BACK, UH, JAKE
01:36:35HOOKER, SENATOR NINA TURNER, BRETT ERLICH. I FORGOT THAT
01:36:38JARED WAS LEAVING. I WAS GOING TO ASK HIM ABOUT LOUISIANA, BUT THAT'S OKAY.
01:36:41>> HE'S STILL ON THE PHONE.
01:36:43>> OKAY. UH, BUT HE WAS
01:36:46EXPLAINING, LIKE, THINGS ARE CHANGING IN LOUISIANA, AND. AND
01:36:49THEY'RE BEGINNING TO CHANGE ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY. AND I FEEL
01:36:51IT. I FEEL IT IN THE ZEITGEIST.
01:36:55SO, UM, LIKE THAT, AND MAYBE
01:36:58I'M JUST, LIKE, CAUGHT UP IN
01:37:01THE MOMENT AND MAYBE IT ISN'T TRUE. BUT, BUT MY SENSE OF IT
01:37:04FROM THIS ELECTION, FROM THIS
01:37:07NIGHT IS I COULD ALMOST FEEL
01:37:10SOME OF THAT. THE DIVIDE'S
01:37:13MELTING AWAY. AND I, AS I TRY TO
01:37:15VERBALIZE WHAT I'M FEELING, I
01:37:20THINK THAT ONE OF THE THINGS IS EXACTLY WHAT NINA AND JOE WERE
01:37:23TALKING ABOUT. THEY TRIED THIS IDENTITY POLITICS STUFF. IT JUST
01:37:27DIDN'T WORK AT ALL. IT FELT LIKE, I'M SURE IT'LL BE BACK.
01:37:30I'M SURE THEY'RE TRYING TO DIVIDE US AGAIN, BUT IT FELT
01:37:34LIKE IT RAN INTO A BRICK WALL. REALLY. AND. AND I THINK THAT
01:37:37WE'RE ALL GETTING TO KNOW EACH OTHER AS A COUNTRY. LIKE, WE'VE
01:37:41HAD SO MANY BLACK PEOPLE RUN FOR IMPORTANT SEATS. WE'VE HAD A
01:37:44BLACK PRESIDENT. WE'RE REALLY STILL TALKING ABOUT THE
01:37:46DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHITE AND BLACK PEOPLE. REALLY, REALLY
01:37:50LIKE THINKING THAT THERE MIGHT BE A DIFFERENCE. THERE'S NO
01:37:53DIFFERENCE. AND NOW, IN THIS ELECTION, IN SOME INTERESTING
01:37:57AND, AND IRONIC WAY, LIKE THE ATTACKS AGAINST THE MUSLIM
01:38:00AMERICANS, I THOUGHT IT WAS
01:38:02ACTUALLY, TO BE HONEST, ALL, AT
01:38:05OF THE MOST ENCOURAGING STATS
01:38:08FROM THIS RACE IS, UM, IS THAT
01:38:12OVER 60% OF JEWISH AMERICANS VOTED FOR ABDUL EL-SAYED IN
01:38:16MICHIGAN. SO ALL THAT ATTEMPT TO DIVIDE, DIVIDE, DIVIDE, DIVIDE.
01:38:20AND IT DIDN'T WORK. AND SO IT'S BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL TO
01:38:23SEE AMERICANS COMING TOGETHER.
01:38:26ALL THE ANTI LGBTQ NONSENSE IN
01:38:29BOTH TEXAS AND SOUTH CAROLINA
01:38:32DIDN'T WORK AT ALL. RIGHT. AND IT AND THE SECOND PART OF IT
01:38:35THAT I FEEL IS THE COUNTRY GOT
01:38:39TOGETHER A LITTLE BIT TO BE AGAINST THIS WAR. WE'RE THREE QUARTERS OF THE COUNTRY ARE
01:38:43AGAINST IT. RIGHT. AND THEY VOTED THAT WAY. AND NOW THEY
01:38:46BETTER GET OUT OF THE WAR,
01:38:49BECAUSE THIS MESSAGE WAS NOT
01:38:50UNCLEAR. IT WAS CRYSTAL CLEAR.
01:38:54AND SO, UH, I HOPE THAT AND, AND
01:38:57THE LAST PART OF IT, AND I, AND
01:39:00I, I GET THAT I MIGHT BE SOUNDING OVERLY OPTIMISTIC ON
01:39:03WHAT IS AN AMAZING NIGHT, RIGHT? BUT I REALLY DO FEEL IT THAT A
01:39:07LOT OF INDEPENDENTS, A LOT OF LIBERTARIANS, AND A DECENT
01:39:11NUMBER OF THE RIGHT WING VOTED WITH US. AND THIS IS IMPORTANT,
01:39:14GUYS, BECAUSE IT'S A SACRED
01:39:16TRUST. SO WHEN THEY VOTE WITH YOU AND THEY SAY, ALL RIGHT,
01:39:19I'M, I'M GOING TO PUT YOU IN
01:39:22AND I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU A SHOT. IT'S SO IMPORTANT THAT WE
01:39:25DELIVER. IF YOU DON'T DELIVER
01:39:28AND YOU PLAY DIVISION GAMES,
01:39:31PARTIZAN GAMES, YOU'RE GOING TO
01:39:35SQUANDER THIS GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY. AND, AND SO WHAT IS
01:39:39WHAT'S THE OPPORTUNITY ABOUT? JUST DO, QUOTE, UNQUOTE, OUR
01:39:41AGENDA. NO. DO THE PEOPLE'S
01:39:44AGENDA. AND AND THE GOOD NEWS IS
01:39:47THAT'S ACTUALLY VERY CLOSE TO WHAT WE'VE BEEN SAYING ALL
01:39:50ALONG, POLICY WISE, RIGHT? THE
01:39:52AMERICAN PEOPLE SAID, NOW, HOW MANY TIMES? NO MORE ENDLESS
01:39:56WARS. WE CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE.
01:39:57SO YOU BETTER DO THAT. RIGHT?
01:40:02AND BRING DOWN GAS PRICES. UH, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY, ISRAEL IS A
01:40:04GIANT ISSUE, AND THAT NEEDS TO
01:40:08BE ADDRESSED, BUT GO TO PAID FAMILY LEAVE. WHAT, WHY, WHY,
01:40:11WHY DO WE HAVE A BILL AT 84% AND
01:40:13WE CAN'T PASS IT? SO CAN WE GET
01:40:16THESE GUYS TO DO SOMETHING NOW THAT THEY'VE WON AND PASS SOME
01:40:20BILLS, THAT MAKES THOSE INDEPENDENTS AND LIBERTARIANS
01:40:23AND ALL THOSE OTHER BROTHERS GO, WE WERE RIGHT TO TRUST THEM.
01:40:27WOULDN'T THAT BE A BEAUTIFUL THING?
01:40:29>> IT WOULD. AND CAN WE, CAN WE JUST REST RIGHT THERE FOR A
01:40:32MINUTE? I MEAN, IT WOULD BE TREMENDOUS. AND THE DEMOCRATS
01:40:35WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT PRESIDENT
01:40:38DONALD J. TRUMP HAS SHOWN IS THE USE OF POWER. NOW, I CERTAINLY
01:40:42DON'T LIKE THE WAY HE HAS USED
01:40:43POWER, BUT HE'S SHOWN THE USE OF
01:40:46POWER. SO NO LONGER SHOULD THIS COALITION. YOU RAISE A VERY
01:40:50IMPORTANT POINT ABOUT WHAT IT
01:40:51TOOK TO GET DEMOCRATS HERE. THIS
01:40:56COALITION COULD STAY TOGETHER IF THE DEMOCRATS DELIVER, AND WHO
01:40:58KNOWS? I MEAN, THE PRESIDENT IS LIKE A HOCKEY PUCK. AT TIMES. HE
01:41:03MIGHT HE MIGHT HE MIGHT AGREE WITH THEM ON 1 OR 2 THINGS AT THE END OF THE DAY. I MEAN,
01:41:06THAT'S MY HOPE. I WOULD LOVE TO BE ON THIS SHOW WITH YOU GUYS
01:41:10SAYING, HEY, PRESIDENT SAID, YEAH, LIVING WAGE, HERE WE GO.
01:41:14WE NEED A LIVING WAGE IN THIS COUNTRY. WE NEED MEDICARE FOR
01:41:17ALL IN THIS COUNTRY. WE NEED TO
01:41:19TAKE ON HYMAN MINSKY, EMPLOYER
01:41:22OF LAST RESORT IDEA. YOU KNOW,
01:41:25THAT'S ATTACHED TO THE MODERN
01:41:28MONETARY THEORY OF THAT. THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE THE EMPLOYER OF LAST RESORT,
01:41:31ESPECIALLY WHEN WE'RE LIVING IN
01:41:33TIMES WHERE AI IS CAN BE A BEAUTIFUL THING, DON'T GET ME
01:41:37WRONG, BUT IT HAS TO BE REGULATED, CANNOT TAKE PEOPLE'S
01:41:40ELECTRICITY AND WATER, AND WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE FIRST
01:41:43GROUPS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING
01:41:45TO LOSE THEIR JOBS, HAVE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT BE THE
01:41:49EMPLOYER OF LAST RESORT. AND GUESS WHAT? WE CAN BUILD SOME
01:41:52THINGS. WE NEED NEW ROADS AND BRIDGES. GOD KNOWS WE NEED RAIL.
01:41:55THERE'S SO MUCH WE CAN DO. WE HAVE BIG PROBLEMS IN THIS
01:41:58COUNTRY, AND WE NEED BIG FDR
01:42:01TYPE SOLUTIONS. PASSED SENATOR
01:42:05BERNIE SANDERS SOCIAL SECURITY PLAN THAT WILL ADD UP TO $200
01:42:08PER MONTH TO OUR ELDERS IN THIS COUNTRY, WHICH IS NOT A LOT OF
01:42:12MONEY. WE NEED TO BE ASHAMED TO SAY THAT IT WOULD ONLY BE $200,
01:42:14BUT JUST GO AHEAD AND PASS. SENATOR BERNIE SANDERS. BILL,
01:42:18LET'S PASS THESE THINGS. UH, THINGS MEINK AND BRITT, AND NO
01:42:21MORE EXCUSES. WE NEED A PEACE
01:42:24DIVIDEND. THAT WAR AND SURVEILLANCE BUDGET IS GOING TO COST THE FAMILY. THE AVERAGE
01:42:27FAMILY OF FOUR OVER $30,000.
01:42:32LET'S GIVE $10,000 OF THAT BACK TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE IN THE
01:42:36FORM OF A PEACE DIVIDEND. AND THE CHILD CARE, AS YOU SAID, THE
01:42:39ENHANCED CHILD TAX CREDIT. THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS THAT THE
01:42:43DEMOCRATS NEED TO POSIT RIGHT
01:42:47NOW, NOT PLAY GAMES WITH IT. SO
01:42:49THAT GOING INTO 2028, GOING INTO
01:42:532030, AND, GOD KNOWS, GOING INTO 2032, WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD IT
01:42:56COULD BE. AND I'M JUST SCRATCHING THE SURFACE ON A
01:42:59COUPLE OTHER THINGS. I WANT ALL
01:43:02THOSE BLACK WOMEN WHO ARE
01:43:06DISPLACED BY THAT FRAUD, KNOWN AS DOGE, WHICH WAS DOGE, IS WHAT
01:43:07IT WAS. THOSE OVER 300,000 BLACK WOMEN, ALL OF THEM SHOULD GET
01:43:11THEIR JOBS BACK WITH BACK PAY. AND ALL OF THE MILITARY
01:43:15PERSONNEL, ALL OF THEM, NO MATTER HOW THEY RANKED, BUT
01:43:17ESPECIALLY THOSE HIGH RANKING
01:43:20COLONELS AND GENERALS, MAINLY BLACK, NEED TO GET THEIR BACK
01:43:23PAY, AND THEY NEED TO GET THEIR JOBS BACK. DEMOCRATS DON'T PLAY
01:43:27WITH IT. DON'T PLAY WITH IT. AND I GOT A WHOLE BUNCH OF OTHER STUFF ON THE LIST. BUT I'M
01:43:30GOING TO STOP RIGHT THERE. BUT THOSE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT THEY COULD DO.
01:43:34>> YEAH. WE NEED TO HAVE YOU TALK TO THE REBELLION CANDIDATES ABOUT THIS LIST AND GET THEM
01:43:38BUSY ON THAT LIST. I LOVE THAT. OKAY. >> I'D LOVE TO.
01:43:41>> YEAH. SO WE'RE GOING TO GO BACK TO MICHIGAN IN A SECOND,
01:43:43BUT I GOTTA, I LIKE THESE COUPLE OF COMMENTS ON SUPER CHAT. SO I

01:44:43GAVE US AN OPPORTUNITY TO, TO DO
01:44:45THIS. UH, ON THEIR, UH, NETWORK AND, AND REACH SO MANY MORE
01:44:49PEOPLE. UH, WE, THEY'VE BEEN AMAZING PARTNERS. IT'S BEEN A
01:44:52HUGE PART OF THAT, BY THE WAY, BEHIND THE SCENES. SO, BRETT,
01:44:55WHAT DO YOU GOT ON MICHIGAN? >> WELL, CLOSE UP A LITTLE BIT OF WHAT WE WERE JUST TALKING
01:44:59ABOUT AND SHOW SOME VISUAL REPRESENTATIONS OF THAT ON THE NEW YORK TIMES MAP. I WANT TO
01:45:02SHOW WHAT I'VE GOT UP ON THE SCREEN RIGHT NOW. THIS IS THE
01:45:04NEW YORK TIMES ELECTORAL MAP, RIGHT? AND I'LL SHOW YOU
01:45:07BASICALLY ALL THIS STUFF, BUT THEY HAVE A VIEW OR IT'S A SHIFT
01:45:11FROM 2024. SO YOU CAN SEE HOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED. ALL THESE DARK BLUE ONES ARE THE FLIPS.
01:45:15BUT WHEN YOU CLICK SHIFT FROM
01:45:202024. LOOK AT THAT. COMPARED TO 2024, THEY HAVE, THERE ARE
01:45:24THEORETICALLY RED ARROWS SYMBOLIZING THE SHIFT. IF IT
01:45:27WERE TO REPUBLICANS FROM 2024,
01:45:29AND BLUE ARROWS. AND THE LARGER THE MAGNITUDE OF THE BLUE ARROW,
01:45:33THE LENGTH OF IT, THE MORE IT HAS SHIFTED BLUE. AND THERE IS
01:45:36NOT A RED ARROW THAT I'VE SEEN ANYWHERE HERE. OKAY. AND THAT
01:45:40GOES TO THAT CAN TAKE US THROUGH TO THE MICHIGAN RESULTS. SO THE
01:45:43MICHIGAN RESULTS. HERE'S WHAT I FIND FASCINATING ABOUT MICHIGAN. MICHIGAN RESULTS IS THEY HAVE
01:45:46ALL THEIR DIFFERENT VIEWS WITHIN THE NEW YORK TIMES. THEY SHOW
01:45:50YOU THEIR CHANCES OF WINNING, THEIR ESTIMATED MARGINS OF
01:45:52WINNING. THEY JUST HAVEN'T
01:45:55CALLED IT YET. BUT AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE ESTIMATED MARGIN WITH
01:45:59THAT LITTLE DIAL THERE THAT DIALS WIDTH OF POSSIBLE OUTCOMES
01:46:03HAS SHIFTED, BUT NONE OF IT ANY
01:46:05LONGER IS ON THE SIDE OF MIKE
01:46:07ROGERS. IT SAYS THAT ITS WINDOW
01:46:10IS EL-SAYED BY SIX POINTS, AND THAT WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY, I
01:46:14GUESS, FOR THE RESULTS TO LAND, IS BETWEEN PLUS TWO EL-SAYED AND
01:46:18PLUS TEN EL-SAYED. THEY HAVE THIS. >> THAT MEANS IT'S OVER.
01:46:21>> IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S STATISTICALLY OVER. AND I WAS CHECKING SOME OF THE OTHER
01:46:24NETWORKS AND JOHN KING'S ANALYSIS ON CNN, AND HE SAID, IT
01:46:28JUST FEELS AT THIS POINT. AND HE PULLED UP WAYNE COUNTY AND WAYNE
01:46:31COUNTY. THEY ALSO, AND I READ SOME OTHER ANALYSIS OF THIS, IS
01:46:34THAT MIKE ROGERS IS
01:46:37UNDERPERFORMING HIS PREVIOUS LOSING EFFORT IN WAYNE COUNTY.
01:46:40NOW, THAT CAN MEAN ONE OF TWO THINGS. A, HE'S DOING WORSE
01:46:44THAN HE DID LAST TIME, OR B, THEY JUST HAVEN'T COUNTED MIKE
01:46:48ROGERS VOTES IN WAYNE COUNTY, WHICH I FIND TO BE PRETTY UNLIKELY. AND THEN THAT SECOND
01:46:52ANALYSIS OF IT BEING UNLIKELY
01:46:54SEEMS TO DOVETAIL WITH THIS DIAL
01:46:57OF ESTIMATED MARGINS BETWEEN TEN
01:47:00EL-SAYED POINT MARGIN OF VICTORY AND A 2% MARGIN OF VICTORY.
01:47:04>> YEAH, NO. THAT'S IT. IT'S OVER. UH, SO TWO DIFFERENT
01:47:08ORGANIZATIONS HAVE CALLED ABDUL EL-SAYED VICTORY, INCLUDING
01:47:12DECISION DESK, WHICH IS ONE OF THE TOP ORGANIZATIONS. SO, UH,
01:47:14AND ABDUL EL-SAYED, WE'RE GOING TO SHOW YOU HIS SPEECH BECAUSE
01:47:18HE'S ALREADY, UH, BEGINNING TO
01:47:20SPEAK. SO DOWN GOES MIKE ROGERS,
01:47:25DOWN GOES MIKE ROGERS, DOWN GOES
01:47:27MIKE ROGERS. AND ON TOP OF THAT,
01:47:30DOWN GOES AIPAC. DOWN GOES AIPAC, AND DOWN GOES AIPAC. THEY
01:47:34WASTED OVER $39 MILLION IN THIS
01:47:37RACE. AND I LOVE IT. I'M HERE
01:47:40FOR IT. AND WE'RE GOING TO NEED
01:47:42ONE MORE OF THESE. OKAY, SO THEY
01:47:45TRIED TO BUY THIS SEAT AND IT DIDN'T WORK. THE AMERICAN
01:47:48PEOPLE PUSHED BACK AND THEY SAID, WE'RE NOT INTERESTED. WE
01:47:52WANT AN AMERICAN REPRESENTING US. SO, YES, GIVE IT TO ME,
01:47:56BROTHER. ONE MORE. UH, AND THE
01:47:58MOST IMPORTANT ONE FOR ABDUL
01:48:00EL-SAYED IN MICHIGAN. OKAY, SO THIS IS THE DRAGON SQUAD. I LIKE
01:48:04THAT ONE, TOO. >> LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE GOT HIM.
01:48:07>> WE GOT HIM, WE. >> GOT HIM. WE GOT HIM.
01:48:11>> WE GOT HIM. >> OKAY, SO.
01:48:15>> GUYS, LOOK, THIS IS A GIGANTIC WIN, BECAUSE IT ISN'T
01:48:19JUST ABOUT MICHIGAN. IT ISN'T JUST ABOUT THE ISSUE OF ISRAEL.
01:48:23LET'S GET OUT OF THE WAR. LET'S GET OUT OF THE WAR. THIS
01:48:26IS A GIANT WAKE UP CALL TO THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT AND TO
01:48:30AMERICAN MEDIA. WE'RE NOT INTERESTED IN THIS WAR IN IRAN.
01:48:33WE WANT TO COME BACK HOME. WE WANT TO SERVE THE VOTERS OF
01:48:36MICHIGAN. WE WANT TO SERVE THE
01:48:38VOTERS OF AMERICA. LET'S TAKE
01:48:41CARE OF OUR OWN. THEY, THE VOTERS, COULD NOT HAVE BEEN ANY
01:48:44CLEARER. A GIANT LANDSLIDE
01:48:47VICTORY FOR THE DEMOCRATS OVERALL. TONIGHT, I HAD THESE
01:48:50OUTLANDISH NUMBERS. 55 SENATORS
01:48:52FOR THE DEMOCRATS, 242 MEMBERS OF CONGRESS. AND NOW THEY HAVE
01:48:56GONE PAST THOSE NUMBERS. SO THIS
01:48:59IS NOT A WAVE. THIS IS NOT A
01:49:02TSUNAMI. THIS IS EL NINO. OKAY?
01:49:05JUST THIS IS A WEATHER PATTERN,
01:49:09NOT JUST ONE ISOLATED STORM. AND IT IS THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
01:49:12SAYING, WE'VE HAD ENOUGH. AND IT'S TIME THAT YOU GUYS
01:49:14REPRESENT US. LOVE IT. NOW
01:49:16LET'S GO TO ABDUL EL-SAYED.

01:52:35LEADERSHIP THAT BROUGHT THE
01:52:38STAKES OF THIS ELECTION INTO
01:52:42SHARP RELIEF. OURS BEAUTIFUL MOVEMENT WAS BUILT OVER THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF, CAMPAIGNING
01:52:46ACROSS MICHIGAN'S BIGGEST CITIES
01:52:48AND SMALLEST TOWNS. WE SPOKE OF
01:52:50A BRIGHTER, A BIGGER, MORE
01:52:53HOPEFUL MICHIGAN. THERES
01:52:56ASTROTURFED, CORPORATE FUNDED
01:52:58ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN BUILT TO DECEIVE AND
01:53:02>> [APPLAUSE]
01:53:03>> DISTRACT. RATHER THAN TRY TO
01:53:10UNITE US TO CONTEND WITH THE CRISIS OF GAS OR GROCERIES, THE
01:53:13OPPOSITION DECIDED TO TRY TO
01:53:15DIVIDE US. AT FIRST, THEY
01:53:18POINTED TO MY NAME AND MY FAITH
01:53:20AS IF TO SAY, YOU KNOW, HE'S A
01:53:22LITTLE DIFFERENT. AND WHEN IT
01:53:25DIDN'T TO GUILT ME BY ASSOCIATION. AND WHEN THAT
01:53:28DIDN'T WORK, THEY WENT ALL IN ON ONE OF THE UGLIEST CAMPAIGNS
01:53:32WE'VE SEEN IN OUR >> [APPLAUSE] >> LIFETIMES
01:53:36>> [APPLAUSE]
01:53:41>> HAVE BEEN POINTING TO MY NAME AND MY FAITH, BUT WE ALL KNOW THAT MY NAME AND MY FAITH
01:53:44AREN'T THE REASON YOU CAN'T >> [APPLAUSE] >> AFFORD YOUR GAS. >> [APPLAUSE] >> NOT THE REASON YOU CAN'T
01:53:47AFFORD YOUR GROCERIES. NOT THE
01:53:50REASON YOU CAN'T SEE A DOCTOR.
01:53:52NOW, AS I WAS CAMPAIGNING, SOME
01:53:54OF YOU WOULD COME UP AND ASK HOW
01:53:58COME YOU DON'T HIT BACK? HOW COME YOU DON'T CALL THEM RACIST
01:54:02OR HATEFUL? BECAUSE HERE'S THE
01:54:04THING. I DIDN'T RUN FOR MYSELF.
01:54:08AND IN TRUTH, THEY WEREN'T
01:54:11TARGETING ME. THEY WERE JUST
01:54:13WEREN'T JUST ATTACKING ME. THEY
01:54:16WERE TARGETING AND ATTACKING
01:54:18YOU. THEY WERE TARGETING AND
01:54:20ATTACKING THE VERY IDEA OF
01:54:24AMERICA AMERICA BIG ENOUGH FOR ANYONE WHO LOOKS A LITTLE
01:54:28DIFFERENT OR PRAYS A LITTLE DIFFERENT, OR WHOSE FAMILY COMES
01:54:31FROM A DIFFERENT PART OF THE
01:54:34WORLD. THAT INCLUDES ME. BUT IT
01:54:36ALSO INCLUDES ANYONE AND
01:54:39EVERYONE WHO DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THEM, PRAY LIKE THEM, LOVE LIKE THEM, OR ISN'T RICH LIKE THEM.
01:54:43SO THEY TURNED THIS RACE INTO A SIMPLE CHOICE. THEY WANTED
01:54:47AMERICA THAT IS TOO SMALL FOR SOME OF US. WE KNOW THAT AMERICA
01:54:50IS BIG ENOUGH FOR ALL OF US >> [APPLAUSE]. [APPLAUSE]
01:54:54>> BIG ENOUGH WE'RE BIG ENOUGH
01:54:56TO TAKE ON THE CRISES THAT WE
01:54:59FACE DAY BY DAY, TRUMP'S INSULTS BECAME UGLIER AND COARSER. BUT I
01:55:02GOT TO SPEND THOSE DAYS WITH
01:55:04YOU, LEARNING ABOUT YOUR
01:55:07STRUGGLES, YOUR HOPES, AND THE THINGS THAT INSPIRE YOU. A MOM
01:55:10OF TWO KIDS WITH A GENETIC LUNG DISEASE IN EAST JORDAN, FIGHTING
01:55:14THE SYSTEM TO MAKE SURE HER KIDS DON'T LOSE THE MEDS THAT THEY
01:55:18RELY ON TO STAY ALIVE. HER HOPE THAT THEY DON'T HAVE TO STRUGGLE
01:55:21WITH HEALTH INSURANCE LIKE SHE HAS A GRANDMA ON THE EAST SIDE,
01:55:25FIGHTING TO MAKE SURE THAT THE VIOLENCE THAT TOOK HER SON
01:55:28DOESN'T TAKE HER GRANDSON TO
01:55:32AND AMERICA, WHERE BOYS GET TO
01:55:34GROW UP. I MET JOSH, THE UAW
01:55:37AUTOWORKER, FIGHTING THE CORPORATE BOSSES WHO HADN'T RAISED THEIR WAGES IN TWO
01:55:41DECADES. DESPITE BILLIONS IN
01:55:43PROFIT. AND THEY WON THAT FIGHT.
01:55:47HIS HOPE IN AMERICA, WHERE EVERY SINGLE WORKER GETS THE RIGHT TO A
01:55:51>> [APPLAUSE] >> UNION
01:55:53>> [APPLAUSE] [MUSIC]
01:55:56>> I'M NOT A SMALL BUSINESS
01:55:58OWNER FIGHTING TO MAKE SURE THAT ANOTHER HEART ATTACK DOESN'T
01:56:02TAKE FOOD OFF THE TABLE FOR HIS 30 EMPLOYEES OR THEIR FAMILIES.
01:56:05HIS HOPE THAT HIS WORKERS DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT HOW THEY'LL
01:56:08FEED DIDN'T GET INTO THIS TO
01:56:11DEFEND MYSELF. NO, I GOT INTO IT
01:56:13BECAUSE THEIR FIGHTS ARE MY FIGHT, AND THEIR HOPES ARE ALL
01:56:16OF OUR HOPES. WE DON'T DO THIS WORK FOR OURSELVES. WE DO THIS
01:56:19WORK FOR EACH OTHER, TO DEFEND US ALL FROM ANOTHER
01:56:23GENERATION'S YOUTH, TREASURE AND OPPORTUNITY SQUANDERED AT
01:56:27THE ALTAR OF ENDLESS WAR TO
01:56:29DEFEND US ALL FROM CORPORATE OLIGARCHS WHO'VE BOUGHT AND
01:56:32SOLD OUR GOVERNMENT TO RIG THE SYSTEM AGAINST US, TO DEFEND US
01:56:35ALL FROM A HEALTH CARE SYSTEM MORE INTERESTED IN MONETIZING
01:56:38OUR ILLNESS THAN HEALING OUR
01:56:39BODIES AND MINDS TO DEFEND US
01:56:43ALL FROM AIR TOO PUTRID TO BREATHE AND WATER TO PUTRID. TO
01:56:47DRINK, TO DEFEND US ALL FROM
01:56:50LOSING OUR VOTING, OR OUR REPRODUCTIVE, OR OUR HUMAN
01:56:52RIGHTS. SEE, I, I TO DEFEND US
01:56:58ALL FROM POLITICIANS WHO WANT TO DIVIDE US, RATHER THAN MOVEMENTS
01:57:01THAT WORK. TO DIGNIFY US ACROSS
01:57:04OUR PRIMARY AND GENERAL ELECTION
01:57:06CAMPAIGNS. THEY SPENT OVER $350
01:57:09MILLION TRYING TO BEAT US. THAT
01:57:13IS A RECORD HERE IN MICHIGAN, $70 MILLION ALONE IN THE
01:57:17PRIMARY, FUNDED BY ALL THE SAME CATS WHO FUNDED THE GENERAL
01:57:20ELECTION. AND THAT'S A RECORD
01:57:22ANYWHERE IN THIS COUNTRY. BUT
01:57:28Y'ALL, MICHIGAN, WE BUILT SOMETHING BIGGER THAN A BANK >> [APPLAUSE]
01:57:32>> ACCOUNT. >> [APPLAUSE]
01:57:33>> WE BUILT WE SHOWED THAT IN A
01:57:39BATTLE BETWEEN THE MONEY AND THE
01:57:40MANY, WIN. THE KIDS WHO WATCHED
01:57:48THIS LAST MONTH, TO ALL THE PARENTS WHO STRUGGLED TO EXPLAIN
01:57:52WHY THE PRESIDENT OPENLY MOCKED SOMEONE FOR THEIR NAME, OR HOW
01:57:55THEY PRAY, LET THEM KNOW
01:57:57TOMORROW THAT THE BAD GUYS LOST.

02:00:35HONORED THAT MICHIGANDERS BELIEVED IN ME. SO YOU TOOK A
02:00:38BET ON THE LEAST LIKELY OF CANDIDATES. I'M NOT A
02:00:42POLITICIAN. I'M A DOCTOR WITH AN 11 LETTER FIRST NAME. THEY
02:00:46TOLD US. THEY TOLD US WHEN I, WHEN I, WHEN I STARTED THIS
02:00:48CAMPAIGN, THERE WAS NO WAY TO BEAT THE MONEY. THEY TOLD US
02:00:52THAT SOMEONE WITH A NAME AND MY
02:00:54STORY LET ALONE IN A STATEWIDE
02:01:01SENATE RACE IN MICHIGAN.
02:01:04FASHIONED POLITICS WAS DEAD, THAT TRAVELING THE STATE TO HAVE
02:01:08REAL CONVERSATIONS WITH REAL PEOPLE IN REAL PLACES WAS A FOOL'S ERRAND. THEY TOLD US
02:01:10THAT THE ESTABLISHMENT WAS TOO STRONG, THAT DC WAS GOING TO
02:01:14DICTATE WHO WON AND WHO LOST. THAT WASHINGTON AND ITS SPECIAL
02:01:17INTERESTS DIDN'T WANT US. THEY TOLD US THAT WHEN ALL THE VOTES HAD BEEN COUNTED ON AUGUST 4th,
02:01:21AND THEN AGAIN ON NOVEMBER 3rd, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN TIME AND
02:01:25MONEY AND ENERGY WASTED. GUESS
02:01:27WHAT? IT'S NOVEMBER 3rd. AND
02:01:32THE VOTES COUNTED. AND GUESS
02:01:33WHAT? WE SHOULD SHOW THEM THAT A
02:01:38AND FOR THE PEOPLE WILL
02:01:39ULTIMATELY, MEND. MICHIGAN UNDERSTANDS THE SOLIDARITY.
02:01:43IT'S THE PEOPLE WHO DECIDE WHO WE SEND TO WASHINGTON AND WHAT
02:01:46WASHINGTON WILL DO. WE DECIDE. NOT THE BIG MONEY OR THEIR
02:01:50STOOGES. THE PEOPLE OF MICHIGAN
02:01:52WILL BE HEARD. WE SHOWED THAT
02:01:56WE. TOGETHER, WE CAN DEFEAT A
02:01:58RECORD $70 MILLION OF OUTSIDE
02:02:01SPENDING AND 11 TO 1 MONEY DISADVANTAGE IN A PRIMARY ELECTION THAT WE CAN DEFEAT A
02:02:05QUARTER OF $1 BILLION IN A
02:02:06GENERAL ELECTION, WE CAN DEFEAT
02:02:09THE CYNICISM OF A POLITICS THAT PREYS ON OUR EARNESTNESS
02:02:13UNDERSELLS OUR INTELLIGENCE, AND EXPLOITS OUR DISAGREEMENTS.
02:02:16TONIGHT, MICHIGAN, WE BEAT A
02:02:18MACHINE.
02:02:22>> WHO. >> [MUSIC]
02:02:23>> AND WE PROVED ONCE AGAIN JUST
02:02:27HOW BIG AMERICA REALLY IS
02:02:29BECAUSE WHERE ELSE? WHERE ELSE
02:02:31BUT IN AMERICA CAN A DOCTOR NAMED ABDULRAHMAN MOHAMED
02:02:35EL-SAYED, A CHILD OF IMMIGRANTS RAISED BY HIS FATHER AND HIS
02:02:39DAUGHTER, THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION STEPMOTHER, GET ELECTED SENATOR FROM AMERICA'S
02:02:43GREATEST STATE?
02:02:46>> [APPLAUSE]
02:02:48>> THEY TRIED TO CONFUSE YOU. SO LET ME JUST SET THE RECORD
02:02:52STRAIGHT. I LOVE AMERICA. I KNOW
02:02:57EXACTLY WHAT AMERICA GAVE TO ME. I SAW IT UP CLOSE ON TRIPS TO MY
02:03:01FAMILY'S NATIVE EGYPT IN A 15 HOUR JOURNEY. I'D CROSSED TEN
02:03:04YEARS. DIFFERENCE IN LIFE EXPECTANCY. I DIDN'T HAVE TO GO
02:03:0815 HOURS. I COULD GO 15 MINUTES TO DETROIT OR PONTIAC AND CROSS
02:03:12THAT SAME DIFFERENCE. IT'S WHY I
02:03:14BECAME A DOCTOR. AMERICA
02:03:17VACCINATED ME AGAINST DISEASES THAT KILLED AN AUNT AND UNCLE. I
02:03:21NEVER GOT TO MEET. IT GAVE ME INCREDIBLE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. IT
02:03:24GAVE ME A PUBLIC UNIVERSITY EDUCATION. IT PAID MY MEDICAL
02:03:27EDUCATION THROUGH THE NIH. I
02:03:29LOVE AMERICA. I LOVE AMERICA
02:03:36ENOUGH TO ASK HER TO BE AMERICA
02:03:38FOR ALL HER KIDS. SEE, AMERICA
02:03:44IS NOT JUST A FLAG, NOT JUST OUR
02:03:47RED, WHITE, AND BLUE. IT'S NOT A FEW PATRIOTIC SONGS THAT WE
02:03:49SING, OR EVEN A LAND MASS WE
02:03:51CALL HOME. AMERICA IS ABOUT
02:03:54THESE TRUTHS THAT WE HOLD, THAT
02:03:57ALL PEOPLE ARE CREATED EQUAL.
02:03:59AND THE INALIENABLE RIGHTS WE
02:04:01STILL STRUGGLE TO GUARANTEE
02:04:04LIFE, LIBERTY, THE PURSUIT OF
02:04:08HAPPINESS. THE BEST OF AMERICA
02:04:10LIVES IN THE AUDACITY OF DARING,
02:04:13A CONTRADICTION, A MORE PERFECT
02:04:17UNION. THAT, DESPITE THE FACT THAT YOU CAN'T BE MORE THAN
02:04:20PERFECT, WE EMBRACE THE WORK OF
02:04:21PERFECTING AMERICA'S GREATNESS.
02:04:24IT LIVES IN THE MOMENTS OF FREE.
02:04:27PEOPLE COME TOGETHER TO EXPAND
02:04:30THAT FIELD OF FREEDOM. AMERICA'S GREATNESS IS THE FIGHT TO ERASE THE LONG STANDING
02:04:34CONSEQUENCES OF SLAVERY AND JIM
02:04:36CROW AND SEGREGATION >> [APPLAUSE]
02:04:40>> AMERICA'S GREATNESS IS THE FIGHT TO EMBRACE ALL OF HER PEOPLE, REGARDLESS OF HOW THEY
02:04:43PRAY, OR IF THEY PRAY, WHO THEY
02:04:45LOVE, OR HOW THEY IDENTIFY.
02:04:48AMERICA'S GREATNESS IS IN. IN THE UNION STRUGGLE ON A SHOP
02:04:52FLOOR TO PUSH OFF THE YOKE OF GREED AMERICA'S GREATNESS IS THE
02:04:55FIGHT TO GUARANTEE ALL OF US THE
02:04:57HEALTHCARE WE NEED. IF WE GET SICK. OUR GREATNESS IS THE FIGHT
02:05:01FOR CLEAN AIR, CLEAN WATER, AND
02:05:04A GOOD HOME. OUR GREATNESS IS THE FIGHT FOR EQUAL PAY, FOR
02:05:07EQUAL WORK AND FULL FREEDOM OF
02:05:08OUR BODIES. AMERICA'S GREATNESS
02:05:12IS IN THE BELIEF A NEW AMERICAN
02:05:15STILL HAS IN THE HOPE THAT
02:05:20AMERICA HAS ALWAYS REPRESENTED. AMERICA'S GREATNESS ISN'T ABOUT
02:05:23IGNORING OUR FLAWS. IT'S THE
02:05:24COURAGE THAT WE HAVE TO CORRECT
02:05:29THEM. IT JUST SHOULDN'T BE THIS
02:05:33HARD. SHOULDN'T BE THIS HARD TO BUY A SECOND BAG OF GROCERIES OR
02:05:37FILL YOUR TANK. SHOULDN'T BE THIS HARD A DOCTOR IN THE
02:05:40RICHEST, MOST POWERFUL COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. IT SHOULDN'T BE
02:05:43THIS HARD TO PAY YOUR TAXES AND KNOW THAT THAT MONEY IS GOING TO
02:05:46BE SPENT ON YOU AND YOUR KIDS. INSTEAD OF DROPPING BOMBS ON
02:05:49SOMEBODY ELSE AND THEIR KIDS
02:05:51SHOULDN'T >> YES.
02:05:55>> WE DON'T NEED TO BE GREAT AGAIN. WE NEED TO EMBRACE THAT
02:05:59THING ABOUT US THAT HAS ALWAYS
02:06:00MADE US GREAT. THE WILL TO BE
02:06:04MORE AND RIGHT NOW, THAT MEANS
02:06:08TAKING ON THE CORPORATIONS AND THE BILLIONAIRES SPECIAL INTERESTS WHO HAVE RIGGED THE
02:06:11SYSTEM AGAINST US FOR FAR TOO

02:07:07HISTORY BOOKS, TO UNDERSTAND JUST HOW BIG A PART OF IT THEY
02:07:10REALLY WERE. >> [APPLAUSE] >> TO MY PARENTS AND MY PARENTS AND LOVE MY GRANDPARENTS, MY
02:07:14SIBLINGS, MY EXTENDED FAMILY, I CAN NEVER REALLY REPAY ALL THAT
02:07:17YOU'VE POURED INTO ME. THANK YOU ALWAYS FOR HAVING MY BACK,

02:07:48TO COME CAMPAIGN WITH US. TO THE
02:07:51MICHIGAN DEMS WHO THREW THIS AMAZING EVENT FOR US TONIGHT.
02:07:55OUR CHAIR, CURTIS HERTEL, WHO'S
02:07:57HAD OUR BACK THICK AND SO TO ALL
02:08:01THE COUNCIL PEOPLE, MAYORS, ALL THE COMMISSIONERS AND COUNTY LEADERS, STATE REPS AND STATE
02:08:05SENATORS, CONGRESS PEOPLE, AND
02:08:06U.S. SENATORS, THANK YOU FOR
02:08:09STANDING WITH US. AND A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO OUR SISTERS AND
02:08:13BROTHERS IN LABOR. YOUR SUPPORT
02:08:20IS A SECOND GENERATION UNION MEMBER. HAS MEANT MORE THAN YOU
02:08:22CAN IMAGINE. I CANNOT WAIT TO
02:08:24STAND WITH YOU IN THE FIGHT FOR MICHIGAN'S WORKING PEOPLE. >> [MUSIC]

02:08:46YOUR BEHALF. I ASKED YOU FOR YOUR TIME, YOUR ENERGY, YOUR
02:08:49SUPPORT. OVER THE LAST 19 MONTHS. NOW, I'M ASKING YOU TO
02:08:53SUPPORT US FOR THE NEXT SIX
02:08:55YEARS
02:08:59>> THIS WORK. >> [APPLAUSE] >> IS BIGGER THAN ONE SENATOR.
02:09:01IT'S ABOUT CHANGING THE FACE OF
02:09:03OUR POLITICS. SO PLEASE DO NOT
02:09:06SEND ME TO DC ALL BY MYSELF. ALL
02:09:09RIGHT. I NEED YOU ALL TO COME WITH ME. WINNING A SINGLE U.S.
02:09:13SENATE SEAT WAS NEVER THE GOAL.
02:09:16THE GOAL IS TO USE THAT SEAT TO
02:09:21TRANSFORM OUR POLITICS. BECAUSE IT'S HIGH PAST TIME THAT WE GET
02:09:25MONEY OUT. OF THE MONEY.
02:09:26>> IN
02:09:30>> AND SOUL OF AMERICA, IS THAT WE, THE PEOPLE ARE WHAT AMERICA
02:09:34IS ALL ABOUT. WE DESERVE AN
02:09:37AMERICA FOR ALL HER KIDS. SO, MICHIGAN, LET'S GO BUILD IT. THANK YOU.
02:09:40>> SO
02:09:46>> ALL RIGHT. THAT WAS AN AMAZING SPEECH THAT ACTUALLY, IN
02:09:49PARTS, REMINDED ME OF THE AUDACITY OF HOPE SPEECH FROM
02:09:52OBAMA, AND NOT JUST BECAUSE HIS CADENCE IS A LITTLE BIT SIMILAR,
02:09:56NOT QUITE AS MUCH AS, AS SHAPIRO. GOVERNOR SHAPIRO, AND
02:10:00IN PENNSYLVANIA. BUT LOOK, MAN, THAT WAS BOLD. THAT WAS STRONG,
02:10:03THAT WAS CONFIDENT. THAT'S EXACTLY HOW HE RAN THE RACE.
02:10:05FIRST OF ALL, I LOVE THE WAY
02:10:08THAT HE EMPHASIZED SOME OF THOSE
02:10:10ARABIC WORDS. AND, AND, THE
02:10:13ARABIC PRONUNCIATION, CORRECT
02:10:15PRONUNCIATION OF HIS FULL NAME. SO THAT'S HIM SAYING, NO, NO,
02:10:18NO, NO, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET
02:10:21ME TO, YOU KNOW, BE SHY AWAY
02:10:24FROM MY IDENTITY. YOU'RE NOT
02:10:26GOING TO GET ME TO BE, YOU KNOW, EMBARRASSED ABOUT IT. THERE'S
02:10:29NOTHING TO BE EMBARRASSED ABOUT. THIS IS WHO I AM. AND I'M AN
02:10:32AMERICAN, AND I LOVE AMERICA. AND THE RACE IS OVER. AND I'M
02:10:35TELLING YOU NOW, THE REALITY. I'VE ALWAYS LOVED IT. AND SO.
02:10:39AND, MAN, HE HIT MIKE ROGERS
02:10:43HARD. NORMALLY, IN VICTORY SPEECHES, YOU'RE LIKE, OH,
02:10:45YEAH, NICE RUN. WHATEVER. YOU KNOW, BYGONES BE BYGONES. HE'S
02:10:48LIKE, NO, I DON'T THINK SO. HE BASICALLY DID A ROBERT DE NIRO
02:10:52IN HEAT CLEAN UP. GO HOME, CLEAN
02:10:53UP, GO HOME. OKAY. EXCEPT IT'S
02:10:56TO HIS YACHTS IN FLORIDA. HE
02:10:58EVEN LOOKS LIKE WOLVERINE. AND
02:11:01HE AND, UH. AND AS I WAS
02:11:05LISTENING TO HIM, UM, FIRST OF
02:11:07ALL, JUST REAL QUICK ON THE LINES, HE SAID, UH, TO AIPAC.
02:11:11THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO
02:11:13BEAT YOU TWICE. DAMN. I MEAN,
02:11:18YOU GO UP AGAINST THE MOST POWERFUL FORCE IN AMERICAN
02:11:21POLITICS. YOU BEAT THEM TWICE,
02:11:22AND THEN YOU RUB IT IN THEIR
02:11:26FACE. THAT'S CALLED STRENGTH. OKAY. HE WENT ON THE OFFENSE AND
02:11:29HE STAYED THERE. I LOVE IT. AND
02:11:33HE SAID, UH, TELL YOUR KIDS, UH,
02:11:36LET THEM KNOW. UH, THAT, THAT
02:11:39THE BAD GUYS LOST. OKAY. AND HE DELIVERED IT WAY BETTER THAN I
02:11:43DID. UH, AND THEN ONE OF MY
02:11:46FAVORITE PARTS. LOOK, FIRST, HE HAS HIS CLASSIC LINES, AND HE
02:11:48HAD THE CROWD SAY IT. MONEY OUT
02:11:51OF POLITICS, MONEY IN YOUR
02:11:53POCKET. RIGHT. MEDICARE FOR ALL. TWO THINGS ABOUT THAT. NUMBER
02:11:57ONE, HE ALWAYS BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE OTHER FOLKS, MADE IT
02:12:00ABOUT HIS IDENTITY, ABOUT ISRAEL, ABOUT THIS AND THAT. AND YES, OF COURSE, HE HAS A
02:12:04DIFFERENT OPINION ON ISRAEL, AND HE IS A CRITIC OF IT, AND HE IS
02:12:06A CRITIC OF THIS WAR. BUT WHEN HE WAS TALKING ABOUT THE
02:12:10CAMPAIGN, HE DID NOT TALK MUCH ABOUT THAT AT ALL. HE TALKED
02:12:14ABOUT ISSUES WE LOVE, LIKE GETTING MONEY OUT OF POLITICS.
02:12:16AND HE SINGLE HANDEDLY BROUGHT MEDICARE FOR ALL. BACK INTO THE
02:12:20CONVERSATION, IN MY OPINION, WHICH IS AMAZING. AND HE SAID MY
02:12:24NAME AND MY FAITH DON'T AFFECT YOUR GAS PRICES. OKAY. THAT'S
02:12:28EXACTLY WHAT THE VOTERS OF
02:12:30MICHIGAN REALIZED. AND, UM, AND
02:12:33THEN FINALLY, AS I WAS LOOKING AT THIS AMAZING SPEECH AND THIS
02:12:36GREAT THING. OH, ONE LAST GREAT LINE. HE'S LIKE, HE TALKED
02:12:40ABOUT JD VANCE AND HOW HE'S GOT A, HE'S LIKE, SORRY, BROTHER,
02:12:43YOU GOT TO SWEAR ME IN. HABIBI.
02:12:46OKAY. HABIBIE MEANS FRIEND IN ARABIC. IT'S A VERY, VERY
02:12:49COMMON WORD. NOW, GETTING MORE AND MORE POPULAR IN AMERICA.
02:12:52HILARIOUS, BECAUSE LAURA LOOMER EARLIER IN THE NIGHT WAS LIKE,
02:12:54THEY'RE GONNA MAKE US SPEAK ARABIC, OKAY? NOBODY'S MAKING
02:12:58YOU DO ANYTHING. BUT NOW. HEY, YOU KNOW, A COUPLE MORE WORDS,
02:13:02RIGHT? AND SO YOU CAN HAVE A
02:13:06LITTLE CHUTZPAH, BUT HABIBIE. OKAY. AND THAT'S AMERICA.
02:13:09THAT'S. AND REMEMBER, GUYS,
02:13:12AFTER ALL THAT PROPAGANDA,
02:13:14ALMOST ALL AFRICAN AMERICANS, GIANT PERCENTAGES VOTED FOR
02:13:17ABDUL EL-SAYED. AND THAT WAS AN ISSUE THAT WAS FABRICATED TO
02:13:20BEGIN WITH, IN MY OPINION. AND
02:13:22OVER 60% OF JEWISH AMERICANS VOTED FOR ABDUL EL-SAYED. WE'RE
02:13:26UNITED, WE'RE UNITED, AND WE'RE ALL AMERICANS. AND HE JUST DID A
02:13:30FANTASTIC JOB WITH IT. AND I AND
02:13:32I'LL END ON THIS, UH, I THOUGHT
02:13:35SENATE MAJORITY LEADER. NOW
02:13:37THAT'S BOLD. HE JUST GOT IN.
02:13:39THEY LOVE SENIORITY. BUT THAT
02:13:42BROTHER CAN FIGHT. AND WHAT
02:13:44DEMOCRATIC VOTERS JUST. AND NOT JUST DEMOCRATIC VOTERS, BUT INDEPENDENTS, LIBERTARIANS,
02:13:48EVERYONE WHO VOTED IN THIS ELECTION, THEY SENT A VERY CLEAR
02:13:52MESSAGE. WE WANT YOU TO FIGHT FOR US. AND IF YOU WANT SOMEBODY
02:13:56TO FIGHT FOR YOU, AMERICA, I THINK YOU JUST SAW HIM. IT'S
02:14:00ABDUL EL-SAYED. SO, SENATOR NINA TURNER, WHAT DO YOU THINK? OTHER
02:14:03THAN THE BUCKEYE COMMENT, WHICH I KNOW YOU DON'T LOVE BEING OHIO.
02:14:07>> YEAH. DON'T. DON'T MIX MY
02:14:09BUCKEYES UP WITH JD VANCE. OKAY.
02:14:12THOSE ARE TWO SEPARATE THINGS. BUT IT WAS IT WAS CUTE. I, I
02:14:15APPRECIATE, YOU KNOW, THE
02:14:17LITTLE, THE LITTLE DIG JD VANCE.
02:14:20I MEAN, THE LINE THAT THE SPEECH
02:14:23WAS A POWERFUL SPEECH. I AGREE WITH BRENT. IT CERTAINLY ONE OF
02:14:26THE BEST THAT I'VE HEARD TONIGHT. I'M GLAD THAT HE
02:14:30WRAPPED IT BACK AROUND TO POLICY, BECAUSE THAT IS MY SOLE
02:14:33FOCUS. RIDING THESE DEMOCRATS, EVEN ONES THAT I WANTED TO WIN.
02:14:37I AM NOT GOING TO LET THEM OFF
02:14:39THE HOOK. ON THE POLICY. SO JAKE
02:14:43AND BRETT AND T T FAMILY AT NAUSEAM, YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR ME TALK ABOUT THE POLICY. SO
02:14:47I'M GLAD HE WENT BACK TO HIS THREE REFRAINS. THE AIPAC LINE
02:14:50WAS BY FAR MY FAVORITE PERSONAL.
02:14:55IT'S A LITTLE PERSONAL BECAUSE MY RACE WAS THE FIRST RACE THAT
02:14:58THE ISRAEL FIRST GROUPS CAME
02:15:00AFTER. A DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY FOR
02:15:03ISRAEL WAS IN THE LEAD ON THAT. BUT TRUST AND BELIEVE AIPAC WAS
02:15:07ALL AROUND IT. AND THE TIT
02:15:10FAMILY UNDERSTANDS THAT. SO WHEN HE SAID, I. I THANK YOU FOR THE
02:15:13OPPORTUNITY TO BEAT YOU TWICE.
02:15:16I. OH MY. YES, YES, YES.
02:15:20>> SO CAN I JUST SAY, TELL THE
02:15:23AUDIENCE, LOOK, NINA TURNER WAS THE TIP OF THE SPEAR. SHE WAS
02:15:26ONE OF THE FIRST TO TAKE ON
02:15:29AIPAC, AND SHE SUFFERED FOR IT. THEY, THEY BOUGHT ALMOST EVERY
02:15:32AD IN CLEVELAND. I REMEMBER IT
02:15:35WELL. UNFORTUNATELY. UH, AND,
02:15:37AND, YOU KNOW, $6 MILLION SPENT,
02:15:40UH, AND, AND SO THEY DID THAT TO A LOT OF FOLKS, INCLUDING ANDY LEVIN IN MICHIGAN, BY THE WAY,
02:15:44SPEAKING OF MICHIGAN AND. >> WHICH IS VERY ANTI-SEMITIC TO
02:15:47JAKE, I JUST NOT TO CUT YOU OFF, BUT I WANT FOLKS TO UNDERSTAND
02:15:51HOW ANTI-SEMITIC THAT WAS. YEAH. FOR THEM TO COME AFTER ANDY LEVIN.
02:15:54>> BUT YEAH, YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. AND AS ALWAYS, GUYS, IT'S NEVER
02:15:58ABOUT RELIGION. NEVER. OKAY, WE'RE ALL AMERICANS. WE'RE ALL
02:16:01UNITED. OKAY. AND ANDY LEVIN'S WONDERFUL GUY WHO WANTED A TWO
02:16:04STATE SOLUTION. SO AIPAC ELIMINATED. OKAY. >> THAT'S RIGHT. THAT'S EXACTLY.
02:16:08>> AND SO THEN THEY WENT AFTER NINA TURNER. THEY WENT AFTER MURRAY NEWMAN. BUT GUESS WHAT?
02:16:12MURRAY NEWMAN, NOW PART OF THE BOARD OF REBELLION PAC. AND THE
02:16:15REBELLION, SENDS ITS REGARDS. OKAY.
02:16:19>> DO YOU REMEMBER REAL QUICK.
02:16:20REMEMBER, IT WAS YOU. ME. IT WAS
02:16:24KILLER MIKE. UH, YOU CAME TO CLEVELAND. WHAT DID THIS BIG
02:16:27TOWN HALL, UH, ON MY BEHALF. AND
02:16:30KILLER MIKE BROUGHT THE THUNDER,
02:16:31AS HE USUALLY DOES, AND HE SAID
02:16:35SOMETHING HONEST ABOUT CLYBURN.
02:16:37AND CLYBURN ABSOLUTELY TOOK IT
02:16:39OUT ON ME, DECLARED WAR, CAME IN
02:16:43TO CLEVELAND TO CAMPAIGN AGAINST ME FOR CANDIDATE. HE DID NOT
02:16:46KNOW. AND SO DID AIPAC, SECURE
02:16:50AS WELL. HAKEEM JEFFRIES DID THE SAME THING. SO, YOU KNOW, THEY
02:16:53STARTED PUTTING OUT LEAFLETS AGAINST ME, SAYING THAT I WAS
02:16:56AGAINST THE THINGS THAT I WAS STANDING FOR, LIKE MEDICARE FOR
02:16:59ALL, LIVING WAGE. I MEAN, IT WAS ABSOLUTELY INSANE. SO I WANT TO
02:17:03TAKE THE TIME, AS I USUALLY DO, TO THANK TYT FOR BEING IN MY
02:17:06CORNER AND CONSTANTLY, ALWAYS SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT,
02:17:09EVEN WHEN I'M NOT ON THE AIR WITH YOU GUYS. WHEN YOU GET THE
02:17:13OPPORTUNITY, YOU ALWAYS LET
02:17:14PEOPLE KNOW THAT MY RACE WAS THE
02:17:17FORMULA THAT THESE ISRAEL FIRST
02:17:19GROUPS USED TO GO AFTER. PEOPLE
02:17:22LIKE CORI BUSH, LIKE JAMAAL
02:17:27BOWMAN, LIKE ANDY LEVIN, AND SO
02:17:29MANY OTHER PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY WHO WERE TREMENDOUS
02:17:33PUBLIC SERVANTS IN THEIR OWN RIGHT. AND YOU HAVE TO ALWAYS
02:17:35AGREE WITH FOLKS. BUT WHEN THEY
02:17:38SHOW A MORAL CLARITY, THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT FIRST. AND THAT TO
02:17:41ME, JAKE AND BRITT IS WHAT IS
02:17:45MISSING. BRITT IS MISSING A
02:17:48SENSE OF MORAL CLARITY. YEAH. AND WE GOT TO GET THAT MORAL
02:17:51CLARITY BACK. AND THEY NEED TO DO IT IN THE FORM OF POLICIES.
02:17:54MEDICARE FOR ALL, ENHANCED CHILD
02:17:57TAX CREDIT. EXPANDING SOCIAL
02:17:59SECURITY, THE CHILD CARE, NO
02:18:02MORE WARS, EMPLOYER LAST RESORT. ET CETERA. ET CETERA. SO DON'T,
02:18:05DON'T DON'T TELL ME THEY NEED
02:18:07TO SHOW US THROUGH POLICY. >> YEAH, I COULDN'T AGREE MORE.
02:18:10BY THE WAY, AGAIN, ABOUT HOW
02:18:13BEAUTIFUL AMERICA IS IN BRINGING
02:18:15EVERYBODY TOGETHER AND, AND NOT CARING ABOUT RACE, RELIGION,
02:18:19ETHNIC BACKGROUND, BUT CARING
02:18:20ABOUT IDEAS AND POLICIES. AND SO
02:18:24NINA'S STRONG BLACK WOMAN, UH,
02:18:25RUNNING IN, IN THAT RACE WITH INCREDIBLE COURAGE, DID IT A
02:18:28COUPLE OF TIMES. UH, AND NOW
02:18:32ABDUL EL-SAYED, UH, HAPPENS TO BE MUSLIM AMERICAN. ANDY LEVIN
02:18:35WAS JEWISH, AMERICAN, MARIE
02:18:37NEWMAN'S, UH, A WHITE WOMAN.
02:18:39NO, I DON'T KNOW A CHRISTIAN.
02:18:42UH, AND SO, AND THEY'RE ALL AMERICANS. THEY ALL FOUGHT FOR
02:18:46AMERICA. AND BY THE WAY, YOU
02:18:48KNOW, THIS IS HOW PROGRESS
02:18:51WORKS. SOMETIMES, NINA AND MARIE
02:18:54AND JAMAL AND CORI AND ANDY HAVE
02:18:56TO LOSE BEFORE ABDUL CAN WIN.
02:19:00RIGHT. AND THEN TO SEE AN
02:19:02AMERICAN CROWD CHANTING FOR A
02:19:04NEW SENATOR. OF DUAL OF DULL. I MEAN, YEAH, SOME IN THE RIGHT
02:19:07WILL HATE IT. RIGHT? THE LAURA LOOMER'S OF THE WORLD WILL HATE
02:19:10IT. BUT I THINK A LOT OF AMERICA LOOKS AT THAT AND GOES, THERE WE
02:19:14GO. AND IT FEELS LIKE IT'S A
02:19:16MOMENT WHERE MUSLIM AMERICANS
02:19:18HAVE FINALLY BEEN ALLOWED INTO
02:19:21THE FAMILY A LITTLE BIT. SO THAT'S, YOU KNOW, IT FEELS
02:19:25GREAT TO ME. IT FEELS BEAUTIFUL.
02:19:27AND THAT'S THE PROMISE OF AMERICA. AND THAT PROMISE WAS DELIVERED TONIGHT. YEAH.
02:19:31>> AND LOOK AT THOSE TWO SPEECHES BETWEEN TALARICO AND
02:19:35EL-SAYED. LIKE THEY WERE BOTH.
02:19:37THEY BOTH INVOKED RELIGION. UM,
02:19:41THEY. AND IF YOU GET MAD AT ONE FOR BEING RELIGIOUS IN ONE WAY,
02:19:43YOU HAVE TO GET MAD AT THE OTHER FOR BEING RELIGIOUS THE OTHER
02:19:46WAY. I DO LIKE THAT IT REALLY SETS UP AMERICA, AS YOU SAID, AS
02:19:49A PLACE WHERE I WANT TO GET BACK
02:19:52TO THAT. AND THAT WAS WHAT AMERICA WAS PERCEIVED AS. IF YOU WENT ANYWHERE BEFORE DONALD
02:19:55TRUMP, THEY WERE LIKE, OH, AMERICA IS PERCEIVED AS THIS PLACE WHERE YOU CAN GO THERE,
02:19:58AND PEOPLE ARE FROM ALL OVER DIFFERENT KINDS OF BACKGROUNDS,
02:20:02DIFFERENT KINDS OF TRIUMPHS AND TRAGEDIES AND HORRIBLE THINGS
02:20:05BROUGHT THEM TO WHERE THEY ARE. AND THEN YOU GOT A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN TRY YOUR BEST TO MAKE IT
02:20:09RIGHT. THAT'S AT LEAST THE STORY OF AMERICA. AND, AND WHEN
02:20:13HE SAYS, THE BAD GUYS LOST, THAT'S. I'VE JUST FEEL LIKE WE
02:20:16HAVE BEEN THE BADDIE. LIKE THERE'S A, I MEAN, I DO COMEDY.
02:20:18SO LIKE THE FAMOUS, UH, MITCHELL
02:20:20AND WEBB SKETCH. UH, ARE WE THE
02:20:24BADDIES? IT'S LIKE A GUY IN A NAZI UNIFORM. LIKE, WE'VE GOT
02:20:27SKULLS ON OUR UNIFORMS. ARE WE THE BADDIES? IT'S LIKE, YEAH, I WAS TIRED OF THAT. AND I WAS
02:20:31JUST FINE. I FELT LIKE WE WERE TALKING IN THE. WE GOT A WHOLE BUNCH OF PEOPLE FROM TYT WHO ARE
02:20:34OUT THERE IN THE ROMPER ROOM, IN THE OTHER ROOM, JUST, YOU KNOW,
02:20:38HAVING, UH, YOU KNOW, UH, ELECTION NIGHT FESTIVITIES,
02:20:41BASICALLY, AND THEN ALSO DOING HARD WORK WHEN WE'RE NOT JOKING
02:20:45AROUND. BUT IT FELT LIKE WE'RE BACK IN A GOOD TIMELINE RIGHT
02:20:49NOW. LIKE WE'RE BACK INTO A TIMELINE WHERE WE CAN FINALLY TAKE A BREATH. WELL, THERE'S,
02:20:52THE WORK'S NOT DONE TO INVOKE KOBE. JOB NOT FINISHED. LIKE JOB
02:20:56FINISHED. JOB'S NOT FINISHED. YOU GOT TO DO THE WORK. AS SENATOR TURNER SAID, WITH THE
02:20:59POLICY. BUT IT, IT LEADS ME TO
02:21:03ANOTHER THING THAT I'VE BEEN FOR YEARS JUST COMPLAINING ABOUT
02:21:05WITH THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, WHERE
02:21:07IT'S LIKE, THERE'S NO TALENT. WHERE'S THE TALENT? AND I SEE
02:21:11TALENT NOW. I'VE SEEN THE PEOPLE
02:21:14WITH THE PEDIGREE AND THE
02:21:16PEDIGREE, UH, IT, YOU KNOW, YOU,
02:21:19YOU LOOK AT WHERE PEOPLE, HOW
02:21:21THEY GET TO THEIR LEVELS IN THE PARTY APPARATUS, WHERE THEY ARE,
02:21:24AND THEY JUST HAVE TO CARBON COPY. AND THAT'S LIKE THE MOVIE
02:21:28MULTIPLICITY, WHERE YOU'RE MAKING A COPY OF A COPY OF A
02:21:29COPY OF A COPY, AND IT JUST GETS WORSE AND WORSE AS YOU DO THAT,
02:21:33FUZZIER AND FUZZIER. AND
02:21:37THERE'S NO SOUL THERE. AND
02:21:40WHATEVER VERSION OF WHAT YOU
02:21:42WANT FROM A POLITICAL SPEAKER, YOU GOT TO SEE A VERSION OF IT
02:21:45TODAY. YOU GOT TO SEE SOMEONE WHO, IF YOU'RE IN TEXAS AND
02:21:48YOU'RE LIKE, I FEEL LIKE THE DEMOCRATS, THE REPUBLICANS, HAVE
02:21:51GOTTEN TOO TRUMPY AND NOT, NOT
02:21:53JESUSY ENOUGH. YOU GOT TALARICO TRYING TO TELL PEOPLE, YOU KNOW,
02:21:57THERE'S A BETTER WAY FORWARD. THAT'S ACTUALLY JESUS IER AND
02:22:01MORE MORALLY SOUND. AND IT SOUNDED LIKE A PREACHER OUT
02:22:04THERE, YOU KNOW? UM, AND THEN YOU GOT TO HEAR, YOU HEAR THE
02:22:07VOICES OF THE OSSOFF. YOU HEAR THE VOICES OF THE EL-SAYED. THOSE ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF
02:22:11VOICES. THOSE ARE TALENTED POLITICAL COMMUNICATORS. AND
02:22:15YOU'RE SEEING THEM WIN. YES, IT
02:22:16DID TAKE TRUMP TO JUST DESTROY
02:22:22SO MUCH OF WHAT I MEAN, THE
02:22:23FASCINATING THING ABOUT THIS
02:22:26MADE AMERICA STRONG ON THE WORLD
02:22:27STAGE. HE SQUANDERED THAT. AND
02:22:30THEN WHAT? MADE HIS OWN PARTY STRONG, WHAT HE WAS ABLE TO
02:22:33BRING OUT OF THE REPUBLICANS TO
02:22:36GET THEM TO RALLY BEHIND HIM. HE BROUGHT A WHOLE GROUP OF PEOPLE
02:22:40INTO THE, YOU KNOW, THE CATEGORY OF LIKELY VOTER. OVER THE YEARS.
02:22:44AND AS SOON AS HE GOT WHAT HE NEEDED FROM THEM, POLICY WISE,
02:22:47HE TURNED AROUND AND NEVER GAVE
02:22:49IT TO THEM. AND AS DELUDED AS
02:22:53THE POLITICAL, THE POLITICAL,
02:22:56AND, RHETORICAL APPARATUS OF THE RIGHT IS TO TRY TO INSULATE
02:23:00PEOPLE FROM THE TRUTH OF TRUMP'S ACTIONS. IT WAS JUST
02:23:03TOO LOUD. HE WAS JUST TOO LOUD
02:23:05ABOUT BEING WRONG. AND THAT
02:23:08CIRCUMSTANCE THAT THAT
02:23:10GROUNDWORK THAT HE LAID AND THEN
02:23:13DESTROYED, CREATED FERTILE SOIL
02:23:15FOR ALL THESE TALENTED POLITICAL
02:23:19OPERATIVES, POLITICIANS, VOICES WE WOULD NOT HAVE OTHERWISE
02:23:21HEARD OF, TO RISE FROM WHATEVER
02:23:24MUCK THAT CREATED A FERTILE GROUND FOR.
02:23:28>> YEAH, THAT'S A POWERFUL
02:23:29ANALOGY THAT TRUMP IS THE MANURE
02:23:33THAT CREATED THE FERTILIZER FOR
02:23:36AMERICAN REBIRTH. BUT THERE'S A GOOD AMOUNT OF TRUTH TO THAT.
02:23:39AND SO, UH, LOOK, THE ONE.
02:23:42>> THAT REALLY A REPUBLICAN, THOUGH, HE'S NOT, HE'S NOT A
02:23:45REPUBLICAN. TRUMP IS A, IS TRUMP. TRUMP IS NOT A
02:23:49REPUBLICAN. AND MAYBE THIS WAS
02:23:50THE GOAL ALL ALONG TO JUST
02:23:53TOTALLY DESTROY THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. >> I WOULD SAY HE'S AN
02:23:56OPPORTUNIST. AND HE LOOKED AROUND AND HE WENT BACK AND
02:24:00FORTH, AND HE JUST SAW IT, AND HE WAS LIKE. AND IT STARTED ON
02:24:03THAT STAGE IN 2016, ON THE, ON THE, THE PRIMARY STAGE WHERE HE
02:24:06JUST WAS LIKE, OH, IF I JUST SLAP THESE BOYS IN THE FACE FOR
02:24:10A WHILE, I CAN TAKE OVER THIS
02:24:12WHOLE THING. AND HE, HE DID. AND
02:24:16THIS IS HOW LONG IT LASTED. AND, AND IT'S OVER NOW.
02:24:19>> YEAH. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S OVER, THOUGH. I DON'T THINK, I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD GET AHEAD
02:24:23OF OUR SKIS ON THIS. UH, PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS PROVEN
02:24:27HIMSELF TO HAVE NOT MORE THAN
02:24:29NINE LIVES. SO WE, WE SHALL SEE.
02:24:32AGAIN, HE'S A HOCKEY PUCK. HE MADE THE ART OF THE DEAL MAY ACTUALLY COME THROUGH. WE'LL
02:24:36SEE. WE NEVER KNOW. BUT HE IS SHREWDER. AND HE PLAYS A
02:24:39DIFFERENT TYPE OF GAME. AND THE DEMOCRATS HERETOFORE HAVE NOT
02:24:43SHOWN THAT THEY CAN HANDLE WHAT PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP CAN
02:24:47PUT OUT. YOUR YOUR ANALYSIS
02:24:50ABOUT THEIR NEW TYPES OF PLAYERS ON THE FIELD. NOW, THERE MIGHT
02:24:54BE SOMETHING TO THAT. NOW WE WILL SEE. AND I WANT TO SAY WE
02:24:58GOT A SHOUT OUT, UH, REVEREND
02:25:01JESSE JACKSON, SENIOR. I KNOW HE'S IN THE ANCESTRAL PLANE,
02:25:04BUT I REMEMBER DISTINCTLY DR.
02:25:07JIM ZOGBY FEELING THE WAY THAT
02:25:09YOU FEEL TONIGHT, BECAUSE
02:25:13CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT TWICE IN
02:25:15THE 80s, REVEREND JESSE JACKSON,
02:25:18SENIOR, HAD THE TYPE OF MORAL
02:25:20CLARITY THAT WE NEED TO BRING
02:25:23BACK INTO THE FOLD OF POLITICS.
02:25:26AND DR. ZOGBY SAID. AND HE AND,
02:25:29AND DR. ZOGBY TELLS THE STORY OF HOW REVEREND JESSE JACKSON WAS
02:25:33THE FIRST PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE TO BRING ARAB AMERICANS INTO THE FOLD.
02:25:37>> YEAH. I MEAN, AGAIN, THE BEAUTIFUL STORY OF AMERICA,
02:25:40RIGHT. AND BERNIE SANDERS IS THE
02:25:42FIRST TO UH, TO MENTION THE
02:25:44PALESTINIANS AND TREAT THEM LIKE HUMAN BEINGS. AND WE LOVE THE
02:25:47BROTHER FOR THAT. UH, I MEAN, AND WHAT A BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY
02:25:51THAT THE MOST POPULAR POLITICIAN AMONG MUSLIM AMERICANS IS BERNIE
02:25:55SANDERS, WHO'S A JEWISH
02:25:57AMERICAN. I LOVE THAT, RIGHT. AND JIM ZOGBY IS ABSOLUTELY
02:26:00RIGHT. BY THE WAY, JESSE JACKSON, SENIOR. UH, SO A LOT OF
02:26:04MONEY, A LOT OF YOU MIGHT HAVE SEEN HIM IN DIFFERENT CONTEXTS. I SAW HIM IN A DIFFERENT
02:26:08CONTEXT. AND I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO, I WAS LUCKY TO. SO WE WERE AT A CONFERENCE,
02:26:11SITTING AROUND, UH, A WHOLE
02:26:14BUNCH OF GUYS JUST TALKING POLITICS LATE AT NIGHT. IT'S,
02:26:18WE'RE IN A HOTEL LOBBY, AND JESSE JACKSON WALKS IN AND SEES
02:26:21US. HE WAS ALSO THE CONFERENCE, BUT HE'S A GIANT SPEAKER. WE'RE
02:26:25JUST YOUNG GUYS THERE. AND HE COMES AND SITS DOWN AND TALKS TO
02:26:28US FOR OVER AN HOUR. AND, AND,
02:26:31AND, YOU KNOW, SHARES HIS WISDOM AND HIS EXPERIENCE WITH US. AND
02:26:35IT WAS JUST A BEAUTIFUL MOMENT. DIFFERENT AMERICANS, YOU KNOW,
02:26:39OPENING DOORS FOR OTHERS. AND,
02:26:40YOU KNOW, I TALK OFTEN ABOUT
02:26:43THIS IN THE SPEECHES THAT I GIVE, UH, THIS BROTHER, HASSAN
02:26:47MILEI, WHO IS A CARE LA, GAVE
02:26:49THIS GREAT SPEECH AT A MOSQUE ABOUT GO THANK AN AFRICAN
02:26:53AMERICAN TODAY. AND HE WAS TELLING MUSLIM AMERICANS, IF IT
02:26:57WASN'T FOR AFRICAN AMERICANS, WE WOULDN'T HAVE HAD THE RIGHTS
02:27:00THAT PROTECT US TODAY. SO GO THANK THEM FOR THE WORK THAT
02:27:03THEY DID. STANDING UP FOR ALL AMERICANS. RIGHT. AND SO, AND
02:27:07NOW THE CULMINATION OF THAT IS THIS ABDUL EL-SAYED VICTORY.
02:27:11AND, AND BRETT IS RIGHT. UH, YOU
02:27:14KNOW, TALARICO TALKED IN VERY RELIGIOUS TERMS, LOVE THY
02:27:17NEIGHBOR, TALKING ABOUT CHRISTIANITY AND, AND HOW IT
02:27:21AFFECTED HIM. AND IT WAS SO CENTERED AROUND CHRISTIANITY.
02:27:24AND IN THIS CASE, ABDUL DIDN'T TALK TOO MUCH ABOUT ISLAM. HE JUST USED ARABIC WORDS IN A
02:27:28COUPLE OF WORDS THEY USE IN ISLAM, BUT, BUT DID NOT RUN AWAY
02:27:31FROM IT, EMBRACED IT, AND BROUGHT HIS WIFE ON, WHO HAD,
02:27:35YOU KNOW, A HEAD COVERING. AND, AND PEOPLE ARE NOT USED TO THAT.
02:27:38BUT NOW THEY'RE A LITTLE BIT MORE USED TO IT. AND NO, NOTHING
02:27:41WEIRD HAPPENED. NOTHING BAD HAPPENED. YOU SEE, EVERYBODY'S
02:27:44HUMAN. IT'S NOT THAT
02:27:46COMPLICATED. AND FINALLY, UH, I,
02:27:50I REALLY FELT THE SAME THING. BRENT FELT. IT FEELS A TINY BIT
02:27:53LIKE AMERICA'S BACK. LIKE, THIS
02:27:56IS THE WONDERFUL, DECENT COUNTRY
02:27:58WE SIGNED UP FOR. SO. BUT OUR
02:28:01WORK IS NOT DONE. NINA'S RIGHT.
02:28:03SO FROM THIS DAY UNTIL WE GET
02:28:06THE RIGHT POLICIES IN PLACE THAT
02:28:08HELP US, RIGHT? NO MORE HELPING
02:28:11THE DONORS. HELP US, BE OUR REPRESENTATIVES, BE OUR
02:28:14GOVERNMENT. SO WE'RE GOING TO KEEP ON PUSHING, AND WE'RE GOING
02:28:16TO KEEP ON FIGHTING FORWARD. UH,
02:28:20BUT AS THEY BOTH TALKED ABOUT, NOW, WE'VE GOT A COUPLE OF PLAYERS ON THE FIELD WHO ARE ON
02:28:23OUR SIDE. AND I THINK THAT THAT CAN MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE. AND
02:28:27I THINK GUYS LIKE BERNIE SANDERS AND RO KHANNA ARE GOING TO
02:28:30BREATHE A BIG SIGH OF RELIEF,
02:28:33BECAUSE THE CAVALRY JUST SHOWED UP.
02:28:35>> THEY DID. WE WE WE COULD HAVE
02:28:38BEEN IN THAT CAVALRY. SO WE GAVE IT A COLLEGE TRY, DIDN'T WE? WE
02:28:41WERE WE WERE SETTING IT. WE WOULD HAVE SET IT ABLAZE UP IN THERE.
02:28:45>> YEAH. WELL, UH, DON'T WORRY.
02:28:47ONE DAY EVERYBODY'S GOT A ROLE, RIGHT?
02:28:50>> SO WE'LL FIND IT. >> OH, NO, IT AIN'T CLOSE TO

02:31:21MIKE ROGERS, 46%. NICHOLAS
02:31:26ANASTASIO, THE FIRST MUSLIM AMERICAN SENATOR IN U.S.
02:31:29HISTORY. >> YEAH, IT'S DEFINITELY HISTORY
02:31:32IN THE UNITED STATES. AND I THINK IT UNDERSCORES A LOT OF
02:31:35RECENT VICTORIES THAT I THINK AMERICAN POLITICS HASN'T BEEN
02:31:38USED TO. I THINK WE ALWAYS ASK OURSELVES, IT'S 2026, HOW IS
02:31:42THIS NOT HAPPEN YET? BUT IN REALITY, I MEAN, WE'VE SEEN MANY
02:31:46MAJOR AMERICAN LEADERS, UH, MANY
02:31:49MUSLIM CANDIDATES, WIN VERY IMPORTANT OFFICES IN THE UNITED
02:31:52STATES. YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE ABDUL EL-SAYED. HE'S NOW GOING TO BE

02:33:37>> YES. SO UPDATES FIRST, THE
02:33:39LITTLE ONE, UH, LAUREN BOEBERT IS LOOKING LIKE SHE'S GOING TO
02:33:42LOSE. SHE'S DOWN A COUPLE POINTS. THERE SAYING LINEBACKER
02:33:46LIKELY TO WIN. THAT'S GOING TO BE A NICE LITTLE TREAT. SOME OF
02:33:50THE WORST PEOPLE IN CONGRESS ARE GOING TO BE GONE WITH HER AND NANCY MACE AND ALL THAT. UH, THE
02:33:54BIGGER ONE THOUGH. YEAH. WHAT'S THAT? >> MAX MILLER.
02:33:57>> MAX MILLER TO. >> UH, LAWLER'S GONE. YEAH. WHAT
02:34:01A BEAUTIFUL DAY. >> YES. NOW, GOING TO ALASKA.
02:34:04WE'RE AT 72% OF THE VOTE, WHICH IS PRETTY GOOD. AND IT'S EXPECTED THAT THE MORE RURAL
02:34:08VOTE IS GOING TO TAKE POTENTIALLY, DAYS TO COME IN. SO
02:34:10I DON'T KNOW THAT WE'RE GOING TO KNOW MUCH MORE. DAN SULLIVAN
02:34:14IS IN THE LEAD. I DON'T KNOW WHICH. DAN, I'M SO CONFUSED.
02:34:17IT'S ONE OF THE DAN SULLIVAN'S
02:34:18IS IN THE LEAD RIGHT NOW. 48.7
02:34:21TO 47.5. UH AND SO LONG AS THE
02:34:26OTHER DAN SULLIVAN IS LIKE WITHIN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO. I DON'T LIKE THAT. I
02:34:30DON'T WANT THAT TO BE THE FINAL RESULT, EVEN THOUGH, AGAIN, WITH
02:34:33RANKED CHOICE VOTING, IT'S IRRELEVANT. IT'S NOT GOING TO
02:34:36DETERMINE THE RESULT. UH, AND. >> I FORGOT ABOUT THAT. THEY
02:34:40HAVE RANKED CHOICE VOTING. WHAT THE HELL WAS THIS DAN SULLIVAN THING ABOUT?
02:34:43>> OH, IT'S I'VE BEEN TELLING PEOPLE IRRELEVANT. IT DOESN'T
02:34:47MATTER. THEY'RE GOING TO PUT
02:34:49BOTH DAN SULLIVAN'S BEFORE MARY
02:34:52PELTOLA ANYWAY. UH, THEY'RE STILL SAYING IT'S AN 84% CHANCE
02:34:56OF PELTOLA WINNING, PROBABLY BY A COUPLE OF POINTS. SO WE'LL
02:34:59SEE. AGAIN, RANKED CHOICE DOESN'T JUST CHANGE. YOU KNOW,
02:35:03WHERE THE VOTE GOES AND EVERYTHING. IT ALSO MEANS THAT IT COULD POTENTIALLY TAKE A
02:35:05LITTLE BIT LONGER, UM, TO GET
02:35:08THE FINAL RESULT, BUT STILL LOOKING GOOD. NOT 100% LOCKED,
02:35:11BUT STILL LOOKING GOOD FOR
02:35:14EFFECTIVELY A COMPLETE SWEEP. UH.
02:35:17>> YEAH, BUT, YOU KNOW, SHE'S MESSING WITH MY NUMBERS. I THINK
02:35:20THAT MIGHT PUT US TO 56 INSTEAD OF 55. AND I'D LIKE TO BE
02:35:24EXACTLY RIGHT
02:35:28>> AND THEN MAYBE MISSISSIPPI. >> AND THEN LET ALONE MISSISSIPPI.
02:35:32>> MISSISSIPPI COME THROUGH MISSISSIPPI. >> MAN. IT'S CRAZY. CALLAN
02:35:36WINS. I MEAN, LIKE.
02:35:39>> YOU TALK ABOUT A UPSET MAN BETWEEN LOSING SOUTH CAROLINA.
02:35:41YOU DONE LOST SOUTH CAROLINA AND MISSISSIPPI, MAN. DON'T EVEN
02:35:45SHOW UP FOR WORK TOMORROW. DON'T. DON'T EVEN COME BACK.
02:35:49>> WELL, THEY LITERALLY WON'T. I MEAN, THEY BARELY EVER WORK ANYWAY, THEY PROBABLY ON RECESS
02:35:53FOR, LIKE, THE NEXT SIX MONTHS. >> ISN'T THAT THE TRUTH?
02:35:56>> YEAH. SO. BUT I TELL YOU,
02:35:57LOOK, UH, DARLINE GRAHAM WAS A
02:36:01TERRIBLE CANDIDATE IN SOUTH CAROLINA. AND SO THEY REALLY,
02:36:03YOU KNOW, TRUMP SCREWED HIM OVER
02:36:05BY PICKING KEN PAXTON IN TEXAS AND DARLINE GRAHAM IN SOUTH
02:36:09CAROLINA. JUST GUARANTEED TWO LOSSES FOR THEM. RIGHT. BUT
02:36:13CALLAN IS A DIFFERENT STORY. I
02:36:14MEAN, THAT WAS NOT ON THE BOARD
02:36:17AT ALL. NO. AND HE RAN SO
02:36:19STRONG. SO, I MEAN, NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, WE'VE GOT A NEW
02:36:22STAR IN MISSISSIPPI. YEAH. SO,
02:36:26JOHN, WHERE DO WE HAVE IT RIGHT NOW IN MISSISSIPPI. >> UH, SO RIGHT NOW, SORRY, I'M
02:36:29STARTING TO. I WANT TO GET AN IDEA OF WHAT THE FINAL POLLS WERE IN MISSISSIPPI. UH, SO
02:36:33RIGHT NOW, HE'S GOT A LEAD OF,
02:36:36AGAIN, IT'S BEEN 28 VOTES FOR QUITE A WHILE. GREATER THAN 95%
02:36:40OF THE VOTE. BUT NO MORE HAS COME IN, IN THE LAST HOUR AND A
02:36:43HALF. AT THE VERY LEAST. >> INTERESTING. SO IT LOOKS LIKE
02:36:47MISSISSIPPI AND ALASKA ARE SLIPPING INTO A HOLDING PATTERN, WHICH HAPPENS AT THE END OF THE
02:36:51NIGHT WITH A COUPLE OF STATES.
02:36:52AND THAT'S NORMAL. SO, UM, IF
02:36:56YOU WIN THOSE, I MEAN, I DON'T
02:36:59KNOW HOW MUCH MORE HISTORIC IT CAN BE, RIGHT? I MEAN, WOULD
02:37:03WINNING ALASKA MAKE A LITTLE BIT
02:37:05OF A DIFFERENCE? SURE. BECAUSE
02:37:08THEN IT'S BASICALLY A CLEAN SWEEP. WELL, I MEAN, THE ONLY
02:37:11PLACE WHERE WE DIDN'T WIN, BUT WE WEREN'T EXPECTED TO WIN AT
02:37:13ALL WAS FLORIDA. AND THEN. BUT
02:37:17IF YOU ADD MISSISSIPPI, THAT'S
02:37:19THAT MISSISSIPPI UPSET IS ALMOST
02:37:22AOC LEVEL, RIGHT? LIKE THAT'S BORDERING ON HISTORIC.
02:37:26>> YEAH. EVEN EVEN BIGGER. EVEN BIGGER. WE TALKING ABOUT
02:37:28MISSISSIPPI. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A PLACE WHERE MY NAME,
02:37:32SAY, NINA SIMONE SUNG CALLED
02:37:37MISSISSIPPI GODDAM. OKAY. THERE IS NO COMPARISON IN MY MIND, AND
02:37:39I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
02:37:43THIS. THIS IS TREMENDOUS. BOTH
02:37:46CURRENT DAY. BUT ESPECIALLY
02:37:49HISTORICALLY. AND THEN ON TOP OF
02:37:53THAT, THAT THIS MAN HAD LITTLE
02:37:55TO NO SUPPORT AT ALL. BECAUSE
02:37:58THE DEMOCRATS HAVE DEFINITELY, THEY JUST THREW THEIR HANDS UP.
02:38:03UH, WITH THE SOUTH. BUT THE
02:38:04SOUTH GOT SOMETHING TO SAY.
02:38:07MISSISSIPPI HAS SOMETHING TO SAY. JUST EVEN, EVEN LIKE WE'VE
02:38:10BEEN SAYING ALL NIGHT, EVEN IF
02:38:12HE DOESN'T WIN, THIS IS JUST AN
02:38:14ABSOLUTE MIRACLE THAT HE IS THIS
02:38:17CLOSE. THE SAME THING WITH ANGIE NIXON. THE SAME THING WITH
02:38:21CHARLES BOOKER. AND THEN, UH,
02:38:24YOU KNOW, LINDSEY GRAHAM'S SISTER, SINCE YOU, YOU THE UNCLE
02:38:28GENE. LINDSEY, GRAHAM'S SISTER,
02:38:32LOSING SOUTH CAROLINA. AND ANOTHER LOCAL POINT THAT I MEANT
02:38:35TO MAKE WHILE JR. WAS HERE. THIS
02:38:38HAS GOTTEN NO TRACTION ON THE NEWS. BUT IF WE GO IN AND LOOK AT THOSE STATEWIDE OFFICES,
02:38:42THOSE CONSTITUTIONAL OFFICES IN
02:38:45SOUTH CAROLINA, WHERE BLACK
02:38:47CANDIDATES WON THE PRIMARY IN
02:38:50SOUTH CAROLINA, BLACK CANDIDATES
02:38:53IN SIX OF SEVEN STATEWIDE
02:38:56OFFICES, GOING HEAD TO HEAD IN
02:38:58SOUTH CAROLINA. NOW, THEY
02:39:02DIDN'T WIN THOSE RACES, BUT IT
02:39:05IS HISTORIC INDEED. NOW, LET ME POINT OUT THE THE THE SENATE,
02:39:09THE U.S. SENATE CANDIDATE. NOW, THEY POURED ALL OF THEIR
02:39:13RESOURCES INTO HER, INTO THE
02:39:14GOOD DOCTOR, WHICH I GET. BUT
02:39:18ONCE AGAIN, YOU GOT BLACK
02:39:21CANDIDATES RUNNING STATEWIDE IN THE GREAT STATE OF SOUTH
02:39:24CAROLINA, THE FIRST STATE TO SEE THE UNION. ON ONE HAND, I'M
02:39:27ABOUT TO THROW SOME HOPE IN HERE, BUT ALSO THE FIRST STATE
02:39:31TO HAVE THE MOST PROGRESSIVE
02:39:33STATE CONSTITUTION IN THE UNITED
02:39:36STATES OF AMERICA. AFTER THE
02:39:40CIVIL OKAY. ELECTED 63 BLACK MEN
02:39:42TO THAT LEGISLATURE, AND THEY CHANGED THE DYNAMICS OF THAT
02:39:46STATE. AND THE. FAST FORWARD TO
02:39:492026, AND HAVE 6 OR 7 BLACK
02:39:52PEOPLE RUNNING STATEWIDE IN THAT IN THAT STATE, THE DEMOCRATS
02:39:56SLEPT ON THAT. SO AGAIN, THAT'S ANOTHER ANOTHER LIST OF MY GRIEVANCES. I'M, I'M, I'M
02:40:00KEEPING A LIST AND I'M CHECKING IT TWICE. GONNA FIND OUT WHO'S
02:40:03NAUGHTY AND NICE. THAT WAS HISTORIC. PEOPLE DIDN'T TALK
02:40:06ABOUT THAT OR NOT ENOUGH. BUT I WANT TO SHOUT OUT THOSE
02:40:09CANDIDATES, STARTING WITH DR.
02:40:11JERMAINE JOHNSON, WHO WAS THE GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE, JAY
02:40:15BENSON, WHO IS RUNNING FOR SECRETARY OF STATE. ON AND ON.
02:40:18THOSE RACES MATTER, TOO. BUT THE DEMOCRATS SLEPT ON THOSE SEATS
02:40:22AS WELL. ALSO, THIS WAS NOT. BUT
02:40:25OUR DEAR, DEAR FRIEND, THE PERSON WHO REALLY SHOWED HOW TO
02:40:28USE OUR. ATTORNEY GENERAL, KEITH
02:40:32ELLISON. YOU KNOW, THEY CAME FOR HIM. THEY CAME FOR HIM, BUT THEY
02:40:35DIDN'T GET HIM. SO WE GOT TO CONGRATULATE HIM, TOO.
02:40:38>> YEAH. YOU KNOW, I'M GLAD YOU SAID THAT, BECAUSE I GOT TO READ
02:40:42THIS SUPER CHAT THAT WE JUST GOT
02:40:43IN, I THINK, UM, SAID, UM. UH,
02:40:50RUSH ORBIT WROTE IN TO ICE AGENTS THAT MURDERED RENEE GOODE AND ALEX PRETTI HAVE EVERY
02:40:54REASON TO BE SHAKING IN THEIR SHOES RIGHT NOW, AS KEITH ELLISON IS BACK.
02:40:58>> YEAH. >> COME ON. COME ON. >> BY THE WAY, KEITH ELLISON, AFRICAN AMERICAN AND MUSLIM.
02:41:02AMERICAN. OKAY. >> YES HE IS. >> THERE YOU GO. AND HE WAS THE
02:41:06FIRST MUSLIM AMERICAN EVER ELECTED TO CONGRESS. AND SO, AS
02:41:09ABDUL NOW GOES TO THE SENATE,
02:41:12UH, HE, ON HIS WAY, SHOULD GO SHAKE KEITH ELLISON'S HAND AND THANK HIM.
02:41:16>> I KNOW, THAT'S RIGHT.
02:41:19>> YEAH. YEAH. AND SO KEITH ELLISON'S, UH, YOU'RE. THAT'S NOT THE LAST YOU'VE HEARD OF
02:41:23HIM, EITHER. OKAY. SO, UH, I
02:41:25THINK THAT HE'S GOT AN AMAZING
02:41:27FUTURE, LET ALONE THE PAST. UH, THAT, THAT HE'S HAD. IT'S A
02:41:31HISTORIC RUN FOR KEITH ELLISON. >> THEY TRIED TO GET HIM TO NOT.
02:41:35I MEAN, NOT JUST IN THIS RACE, BUT I KNOW WE ALL OLD ENOUGH TO
02:41:38REMEMBER WHEN HE WAS RUNNING FOR DNC CHAIR.
02:41:42>> YEP. >> AND THEY STACKED THE DECK AGAINST HIM. I WAS THERE, YOU
02:41:45KNOW, THE PHONE CALLS AND ALL THE MANEUVERING THAT WAS GOING ON AT DAINES PRESIDENT BARACK
02:41:49OBAMA TO LET ME JUST PUT THAT OUT THERE. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?
02:41:52GOD HAD ANOTHER PLAN FOR KEITH ELLISON. YEAH. TO BECOME THE
02:41:55ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE GREAT
02:41:58STATE OF MINNESOTA. >> NO, KEITH.
02:42:02>> HE COULD BE THERE FOR THESE MOMENTS. >> YEAH. KEITH MADE SOME
02:42:05DECISIONS THAT, UM, UH, I WAS LIKE, HUH? YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?
02:42:09RIGHT? BECAUSE HE. HE LEFT CONGRESS, RAN FOR THE DNC. HE
02:42:13GETS, YOU KNOW, BASICALLY A TIE. THEY SCREW HIM OUT OF IT, AND
02:42:16THEN HE GOES AND RUNS FOR MINNESOTA ATTORNEY GENERAL. I WAS LIKE, HUH? AND THEN IT
02:42:20TURNED OUT, OH, MY GOD. HE WAS SPECTACULARLY RIGHT. AND HE
02:42:24HAPPENED TO BE AT THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE WRONG TIME, IN A
02:42:26SENSE, BECAUSE THOSE TWO
02:42:28BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE GOT KILLED. BUT
02:42:31HE'S THE PERFECT GUY TO FIGHT FOR JUSTICE THERE, AND IS IN THE
02:42:34MIDDLE OF ALL THIS AND MAKING A
02:42:36DIFFERENCE AGAIN. UH, BUT, BUT BACK TO MISSISSIPPI FOR A SECOND. FIRST OF ALL, YOU KNOW,
02:42:40EARLIER IN THE NIGHT, I WAS SAYING THE REPUBLICAN STRONGHOLD
02:42:44IN THE SOUTH MIGHT BE DOWN TO JUST MISSISSIPPI AND ALABAMA.
02:42:47WRONG. JUST ALABAMA. OKAY. SO
02:42:50THE SOUTH IS GONE. IT'S GONE
02:42:53FOR THE REPUBLICANS. NORTH
02:42:54CAROLINA'S BLUE. GEORGIA. NOW,
02:42:57EVERY DEMOCRAT WON. THAT'S BLUE.
02:42:59UH, SOUTH CAROLINA. WE GOT A
02:43:02DEMOCRATIC SENATOR STARTING TO
02:43:05TURN PURPLE. UH, MISSISSIPPI. IT'S A TIE. UH, LOUISIANA.
02:43:09ALMOST, UH, THE REPUBLICAN. ALMOST LOST IN LOUISIANA. I
02:43:12MEAN, THIS IS HISTORIC.
02:43:16UNBELIEVABLE. UH, AND. >> THE PEOPLE ARE SPEAKING. I
02:43:20MEAN, THEY LETTING IT BE KNOWN IF THEY, IF THEY DON'T GET THIS
02:43:23MESSAGE, THE DEMOCRATS AND THE REPUBLICANS, THIS IS A MESSAGE FOR BOTH OF THEM. I DON'T EVEN
02:43:26KNOW WHAT TO SAY. YEAH. BECAUSE IT WAS SENT LOUD AND CLEAR. AND
02:43:30I DO BELIEVE IF THERE WAS A
02:43:32SOLID THIRD PARTY OPTION IN THIS COUNTRY, THAT THE AMERICAN
02:43:35PEOPLE, THIS GO AROUND, IS FED UP AS THEY ARE, THEY WOULD HAVE
02:43:39WENT THIRD PARTY. >> YEAH. SO, UH, AS IT TURNS
02:43:43OUT, THEY DIDN'T NEED TO, BUT
02:43:45THE DEMOCRATS BETTER DELIVER. OTHERWISE, THAT OPTION GETS BACK
02:43:49INTO PLAY. RIGHT. COME ON. YEAH.
02:43:51SO, UH, LAST THING ON COLOMBIA
02:43:54IS, SEE, WHAT I LOVED. AND I
02:43:57DON'T KNOW HIM AT ALL. AND SO I'M LUCKY ENOUGH TO KNOW SOME OF THESE FOLKS. KEITH ELLISON, I
02:44:01WENT TO MINNESOTA. WE RAN INTO EACH OTHER, AND HE'S LIKE, JIM,
02:44:04COME ON, LET ME TAKE YOU AROUND. I'LL SHOW YOU TO THE REALLY
02:44:08GOOD AND ALEX PRETTI. UH, AND,
02:44:09UH MEMORIALS. AND WE WENT
02:44:13TOGETHER. IT WAS SO COLD. HIM AND HIS WIFE CAME OUT AND TOOK ME IN THE MORNING. JUST A
02:44:17WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL HUMAN
02:44:19BEING. UH, I DON'T KNOW AT ALL, BUT AS SOON AS I SAW THOSE
02:44:22RESULTS. I GOT TO GET TO KNOW THIS GUY. OKAY? BECAUSE. AND I
02:44:25ACTUALLY THOUGHT THAT EARLIER, BECAUSE HE STARTED POPPING UP ON
02:44:28MY RADAR. I'M LIKE, WHY IS THIS
02:44:32CANDIDATE IN MISSISSIPPI, YOU
02:44:36KNOW, LIKE RELEVANT, RIGHT? LIKE, WHY? WHAT? WHY IS HE
02:44:39CAUSING WAVES? WHAT'S HAPPENING? AND WHAT I REALIZED WAS HE
02:44:42WASN'T ASKING FOR PERMISSION. HE WAS GOING AND ATTACKING. HE
02:44:46WAS PROCEEDING FROM STRENGTH. AND HE WENT ON THE OFFENSE. AND
02:44:49HE STAYED THERE. AND, UH, THAT'S A GUY AFTER MY OWN
02:44:52HEART, RIGHT? AND LOOK AT THE RESULTS. LOOK AT THE RESULTS.
02:44:55THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAS TO UNDERSTAND. STOP COWERING, STOP
02:44:59BEING AFRAID. STOP BEING Y LIKE
02:45:03IT. ALMOST DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP ALMOST ACTS LIKE THEY'RE
02:45:07EMBARRASSED ABOUT THEIR OWN POSITION, THEIR PARTY, THEIR ISSUES. YOU CRAZY? LOOK AT WHAT
02:45:11THE AMERICAN PEOPLE JUST GAVE
02:45:12YOU. I DO. I DID. AND, AND, AND,
02:45:15AND MAKE SURE YOU GO ON THE OFFENSE AND FIGHT FOR THE THINGS
02:45:19THAT YOU BELIEVE IN. IT COULD MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE. >> REALLY FAST. SO, YOU KNOW,
02:45:22AGAIN, I INSTANTLY START THINKING LIKE OF THE NEXT ELECTION, I JUST, THERE'S GOING
02:45:26TO BE A LOT OF DEMOCRATS THAT
02:45:27ARE GOING TO RUN. AND I HOPE
02:45:31THEY UNDERSTAND THE OPPORTUNITY THAT THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO
02:45:34ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING FOR ONCE, BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE ALREADY DONE WITH THE REPUBLICANS. IT'S
02:45:38GOING TO BE TWO MORE YEARS OF
02:45:40CHAOS AND CORRUPTION, AND PROBABLY AN INVASION OF CUBA,
02:45:43AND MORE TRADE WARS AND ALL THAT. AND THEN DONALD TRUMP
02:45:45WON'T EVEN BE RUNNING ANYMORE.
02:45:48HE'LL BE 85 AT THAT POINT. NO REPUBLICAN HAS ANY IDEA WHAT THE
02:45:51PARTY IS EVEN SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE ONCE DONALD TRUMP ISN'T IN
02:45:55CHARGE OF IT ANYMORE. JD VANCE IS GOING TO BE MORE TARNISHED THAN HE ALREADY IS. AND SO
02:45:58YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A BUNCH OF CENTRISTS THAT ARE HOPING TO
02:46:00JUST GO BACK TO NORMALCY OR WHATEVER, BUT PEOPLE DON'T WANT
02:46:03THAT. THAT'S NOT WHAT THEY'RE VOTING FOR RIGHT NOW. AND THEY'RE GOING TO BE EVEN MORE ECONOMICALLY DESPERATE IN TWO
02:46:08YEARS. AND THEN YOU HAVE A BUNCH OF PROGRESSIVES, HYPOTHETICALLY, WHO COULD BE RUNNING, AND I HOPE
02:46:11THEY ARE LEARNING ABOUT SWINGING
02:46:15BIG, PROPOSING SOMETHING HUGE. I HOPE, BY THE WAY, THAT THEY'RE
02:46:18PAYING ATTENTION TO HOW THE DATA CENTER ISSUE PROBABLY WRECKED
02:46:21THE REPUBLICANS IN TEXAS AND MAKE THAT A BIG PART. AI REGULATION, DATA CENTERS, ALL OF
02:46:26THAT IS GOING TO BE A HUGE THING. THE PEOPLE WHO DON'T GET IT UNTIL TOO LATE, I THINK, ARE
02:46:29GOING TO BE A BIG DISADVANTAGE IN THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY. UM,
02:46:32BUT I JUST HOPE THAT THAT'S, I THINK WE ALL HAVE THE SAME FEAR
02:46:36THAT YOU'VE HAD THIS SWINGING BACK AND FORTH OVER THE LAST FEW
02:46:40CYCLES. AND EACH TIME THE SWING IS BIGGER. I DON'T WANT TO SEE
02:46:43IT SWING 20 POINTS TO THE REPUBLICANS NEXT TIME, AND I
02:46:46DON'T THINK THAT'S LIKELY. DONALD TRUMP IS STILL GOING TO BE PRESIDENT. THE BLAME IS STILL
02:46:49MOSTLY GOING TO GO ON HIM. BUT THEN, OKAY, MAYBE WE GET SOME
02:46:53DEMOCRATIC GOVERNOR WHO BECOMES PRESIDENT IN 2028, AND THEN IN
02:46:562030, WE LOSE 12 SENATE SEATS. NOBODY WANTS THAT. AND WE DON'T
02:47:00HAVE TO HAVE THAT. WE CAN BREAK THE CYCLE BY ACTUALLY DOING
02:47:03SOMETHING, SOMETHING SIGNIFICANT. IT'S NOT HARD TO FIGURE OUT WHAT PEOPLE WANT. WE
02:47:06KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT. YOU JUST HAVE TO ACTUALLY DO IT.
02:47:10>> OKAY. SO I'M GOING TO RISK RUINING THE MOOD IN A SECOND. OKAY. AND, BUT THEN I'M GOING
02:47:14TO PICK IT BACK UP BECAUSE WE'VE GOT A COUPLE OF FUN CLIPS BEFORE
02:47:18WE END. UH, BUT JOHN, CAN YOU LOOK UP CALIFORNIA AS I READ
02:47:21THESE COMMENTS? BECAUSE WE MEANT TO GO BACK TO CALIFORNIA, THERE WAS SOME IMPORTANT BALLOT
02:47:24MEASURES THERE. BUT LET ME READ THESE FOR YOU GUYS. SO ENTROPY,

02:48:02THIS IS A START. YAY! SO I LOVE THAT. THANK YOU FOR BEING PART
02:48:06OF OUR COVERAGE TONIGHT. TO EVERYONE. I WISH I COULD READ
02:48:10ALL YOUR COMMENTS, BUT YOU'RE ALL AMAZING AND THANK YOU FOR

02:48:16TURKS. YOU'RE THE YOUNG TURKS.
02:48:18IT'S AN ATTITUDE OF INDEPENDENCE AND HONESTY AND
02:48:22CARING FOR ONE ANOTHER. OPEN MINDS, OPEN HEARTS. THAT'S WHAT
02:48:24WE'RE ABOUT. UM. AND THEN, UH,
02:48:27STEVE, GO WATCH, UH, WAS INCREDIBLY GENEROUS, AND WE APPRECIATE YOU, STEVE, SAID.
02:48:31JAKE, WHAT'S THE OVER/UNDER ON,
02:48:33UH, DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE ELECTION INVESTIGATIONS AND
02:48:36TRUMP CLAIMING STOLEN OR BLAME?
02:48:38CANADA, IRAN, GREENLAND. ET
02:48:41CETERA. NO. TRUMP TONIGHT, UH, ON FOX NEWS SAID HE ACCEPTS THE
02:48:43RESULTS. SO THAT'S SHOCKING. SO
02:48:48A LOT OF SHOCKING RESULTS TODAY.
02:48:50SUNLIGHT. SKY SAYS, I FEEL LIKE
02:48:53RUSH LIMBAUGH ON OXYCONTIN
02:48:54TONIGHT A CURIOUS EXAMPLE, BUT I
02:48:59LIKE IT. YOU HAVING TROUBLE
02:49:00HEARING NOW? ALL RIGHT. UH, AND,
02:49:03UH, SPACEX WIENER JOINS IN ON
02:49:05THE FUN. UH, OF ABDUL EL-SAYED
02:49:09SAYS YALLA HABIBI. OKAY, WE'RE GOING TO TEACH AMERICA. THESE
02:49:12ARE A COUPLE OF FUN ARABIC WORDS, BY THE WAY. I'M NOT. I
02:49:15DON'T SPEAK ARABIC. I'M TURKISH. DIFFERENT CULTURE,
02:49:19DIFFERENT RACE, DIFFERENT ETHNICITY, ET CETERA.. BUT
02:49:22EVERYBODY KNOWS HABIBI AND YALLA MEANS, COME ON, COME ON, COME ON. UH, SO THOSE ARE SUPER
02:49:26COMMON WORDS IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. LAST
02:49:29ONE FOR NOW. MARK, ARE YOU. SAYS TOM. TIFFANY. LOSING IN
02:49:32WISCONSIN IS HUGE. THAT GUY WOULD ALMOST CERTAINLY SEIZE
02:49:35VOTING MACHINES. AND WHATEVER TOMFOOLERY THEY COULD COME UP
02:49:38WITH. UH, IF TRUMP ASKS HIM TO. MARK, THANK YOU FOR CONTRIBUTING
02:49:41TO THE SHOW. WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN TO THAT ELECTION. THANK YOU FOR
02:49:45POINTING THAT OUT. I LOVE DOING THIS SHOW WITH YOU GUYS. ALL RIGHT. JOHN. CALIFORNIA.
02:49:49>> YES. WERE THERE ANY IN PARTICULAR YOU WANT TO GO THROUGH? SOME OF THE BIG ONES.
02:49:52>> SO BIG ONES. >> YEAH. >> AND I MEAN, I ASSUME THAT,
02:49:56UH. BECERRA ONE. >> BECERRA ONE, THE DEMOCRATS
02:49:58WON THE BIG STATEWIDE RACES. >> KAREN BASS WIN IN LA OR NEAR THE ARABIAN, OR DO WE NOT KNOW
02:50:02YET? >> I DON'T THINK THAT WE HAVE
02:50:06THAT YET. BUT, GOVERNOR. >> NOT THAT IMPORTANT FOR THE
02:50:08REST OF THE COUNTRY. SO, OKAY, LET'S DO THE BALLOT MEASURES
02:50:11BECAUSE THOSE ARE IMPORTANT, NOT
02:50:14CALIFORNIA'S, YOU KNOW, FIFTH LARGEST ECONOMY IN THE WORLD,
02:50:18RIGHT? SO BALLOT MEASURES MATTER A LOT. AND THEY SET THE
02:50:21PRECEDENT FOR THE REST OF THE COUNTRY. SO THAT'S WHY IT MATTERS EVEN MORE.
02:50:24>> SO WE ONLY HAVE ABOUT 52, 53% OF THE VOTE, DEPENDING ON THE
02:50:27ONE. BUT THEY HAVE CALLED MANY OF THESE. SO THE NEW VOTER ID
02:50:31REQUIREMENT, UH, PEOPLE SAID NO, 59%. SO THAT IS NOT GOING TO
02:50:34HAPPEN. UH, AS OF RIGHT NOW, THE
02:50:36WEALTH TAX HASN'T BEEN CALLED.
02:50:38BUT NO. IS IT 56%? ALTHOUGH AS
02:50:42WE'LL GET TO, EVEN IF IT WAS, YES, THEY DID A TRICKY THING
02:50:45THAT WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN IT NOT HAPPENING, WHICH I'LL GET
02:50:48TO, UH, THE EXTRA MONEY FOR
02:50:50AFFORDABLE HOUSING. YES. THEY'RE PUTTING THAT THROUGH OVER $11
02:50:54BILLION. AND DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE BUDGET RESERVE THING. UM,
02:50:57EDUCATION FUNDING. YES. UH,
02:51:00REPEALING THE BAN ON PUBLIC FINANCING OF ELECTION CAMPAIGNS
02:51:03HASN'T BEEN CALLED. IT'S VERY CLOSE. AND ONLY HALF OF THE VOTE
02:51:05IS IN. UM, I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO
02:51:08HAVE SEEN THAT BAN GO AWAY. UH,
02:51:12SOME MONEY FOR MIDDLE INCOME HOME BUYER LOANS. THEY SAID YES.
02:51:15THE IMMUNOLOGY, IMMUNOLOGY RESEARCH ONE IS AN INTERESTING
02:51:19ONE. YES. IS IT 56%? RIGHT NOW
02:51:23IT'S $8.4 BILLION TO FUND VARIOUS FORMS OF MEDICAL RESEARCH. AND ALL OF THAT SOUNDS
02:51:26VERY GOOD. BUT WHEN YOU ACTUALLY LOOK INTO IT, IT TURNS OUT THAT
02:51:29IT IS WRITTEN IN SUCH A SPECIFIC
02:51:32WAY THAT THERE IS ONLY ONE
02:51:35ORGANIZATION THAT WOULD ACTUALLY QUALIFY FOR THE MONEY. AND THE
02:51:38BALLOT MEASURE IS BEING FUNDED BY THE GUY WHO HEADS UP THE
02:51:41BOARD FOR THAT ORGANIZATION. >> REALLY, THAT IS SO SURPRISING.
02:51:45>> IT'S SUCH A COINCIDENCE. SO LIKE, IT'S LIKE, LIKE, I SAW IT
02:51:47AND I'M LIKE, I WANT THE MONEY TO, I WANT THE RESEARCH, BUT
02:51:50LIKE, DOES IT HAVE TO BE IN SUCH A CORRUPT WAY THAT THEY'RE
02:51:53DOING THIS? IT'S TERRIBLE. >> SO THE BILLIONAIRE TAX, UH,
02:51:57WAS CHAMPIONED BY RO KHANNA, FOUGHT AGAINST BY GAVIN NEWSOM,
02:52:01WHICH BEGINS TO GIVE YOU A SENSE
02:52:02OF WHO'S ON WHICH SIDE. UH,
02:52:05BUT, UH, SO IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S ON ITS WAY TO LOSING.
02:52:07>> IT'S ALREADY LOOKING LIKE IT'S ON ITS WAY TO LOSING. AND
02:52:11THEN, AND THIS IS, THIS IS LIKE,
02:52:12I WAS, I DO THE VOTE EVERY,
02:52:16EVERY ELECTION CYCLE BY MYSELF, MY WIFE, MY MOM, SOMETIMES OUR FRIENDS, WE ALL GET TOGETHER AND
02:52:19WE GO THROUGH, WE HAVE PROGRESSIVE VOTER GUIDES AND EVERYTHING. AND EVEN IF YOU
02:52:23FOLLOW POLITICS, IT CAN BE SO DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT
02:52:26THESE BALLOT MEASURES ACTUALLY DO, BECAUSE THE AD CAMPAIGNS ARE
02:52:30ALL WILDLY DECEPTIVE. I SAW A
02:52:33LOT OF ADS ABOUT THE BILLIONAIRE TAX. AND YOU KNOW WHAT? EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM AGAINST IT
02:52:37WAS, WAS THAT IT'S NOT ACTUALLY A BILLIONAIRE TAX. TAX ON
02:52:40EVERYBODY. >> THAT'S JUST NOT TRUE. >> IT COULD BE ON EVERYBODY. THE
02:52:43LYING BUT ANYWAY, EVEN IF THE
02:52:48BILLIONAIRE TAX ONE PASSED BALLOT MEASURES, 41 AND 42 ARE
02:52:51TWO SEPARATE BALLOT MEASURES. AND IF EITHER OF THOSE PASSED,
02:52:54IT WOULD NULLIFY THE BILLIONAIRE TAX. THAT'S HOW IT WAS
02:52:58EFFECTIVELY SET UP. SO. BUT YOU WOULD NOT KNOW THAT TO JUST GO
02:53:01THROUGH THE BALLOT MEASURE. SO
02:53:0441 IS, UH, REQUIRING AMENDING THE STATE CONSTITUTION TO
02:53:07PROHIBIT ANY NEW STATE TAXES WHOSE REVENUES ARE EXCLUDED FROM
02:53:10THE STATE SPENDING LIMIT. THAT SOUNDS LIKE A SUPER WONKY,
02:53:14BUREAUCRATIC THING. IT WOULD MAKE IT SO THAT THE BILLIONAIRE TAX WOULDN'T HAPPEN. NOW, THAT
02:53:18ONE IS CURRENTLY ON A NO. IF 52%. BUT THE NEXT ONE
02:53:22PROHIBITING NEW PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES SOUNDS SEPARATE.
02:53:25IT SOUNDS LIKE A TAX ON MY HOUSE
02:53:27OR WHATEVER. IT WOULD ALSO
02:53:30NULLIFY THE BILLIONAIRE TAX. AND THAT ONE CURRENTLY IS LEADING
02:53:32WITH 55%. SO THIS IS THE TRICKY
02:53:35WAYS THAT THEY DO THIS STUFF. AND BY THE WAY, IT LOOKS LIKE
02:53:39IT'S JUST GOING TO MAYBE NARROWLY FAIL ANYWAY. SO I GUESS
02:53:42IT'S A MOOT POINT. BUT THE SHEER, THE FLOOD OF MONEY THAT
02:53:46CAME IN, IN ADS AGAINST THIS, YOU KNOW, ONE WOULD THINK THAT
02:53:49IF THE BILLIONAIRES HAD THIS MUCH MONEY TO SPEND ON ADS, THEY
02:53:52COULD AFFORD TO DO THE 5%, ONE TIME TAX.
02:53:54>> YEAH, I KNOW. OF COURSE, INSTEAD OF PAYING THE TAX TO
02:53:57HELP OTHER PEOPLE, THEY SPEND
02:53:59HALF THAT MONEY ON ADS TO FIGHT AGAINST US SO THEY DON'T HAVE
02:54:03TO SPEND ALL THEIR JUST SO
02:54:06FRUSTRATING. OKAY, WE'RE GOING TO DO TWO FUN CLIPS HERE BEFORE
02:54:09WE END. UH, THIS IS, UH, WE'RE
02:54:10GOING TO GO TO B10 FIRST. THAT'S TRUMP ON FOX NEWS. SO
02:54:14HOW DID HE TAKE THIS LOSS? LET'S FIND OUT.
02:54:17>> LET'S GET YOUR REACTION TO THIS NIGHT AND WHAT YOU TAKE
02:54:21AWAY FROM IT. >> WELL, I'M A LITTLE BIT SURPRISED. I THOUGHT THEY'D DO
02:54:24BETTER. WE HAD TREMENDOUS RALLIES. WE HAD ABOUT 30 OF
02:54:27THEM. THERE WERE THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE OUTSIDE, LET
02:54:31ALONE INSIDE. COULDN'T GET IN
02:54:34AND THAT WATCH FROM BIG, BIG
02:54:36SCREENS ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE BUILDINGS. AND THEY WERE
02:54:39EXCITED. THERE WAS GREAT EXCITEMENT. SO I'M A LITTLE BIT
02:54:42SURPRISED. I THOUGHT THAT I
02:54:44COULD TRANSFER THOSE PEOPLE INTO
02:54:47CANDIDATES, BUT MAYBE IN CERTAIN CASES, YOU KNOW, DON'T FORGET,
02:54:50WE HAD A LOT OF CANDIDATES THAT DID WIN ALSO. BUT IN CERTAIN
02:54:54CASES, THEY DIDN'T WIN. I FELT BADLY ABOUT DARLENE. I FELT VERY
02:54:57BADLY. SHE'S GOING THROUGH, YOU KNOW, HER RELATIONSHIP WITH
02:55:01LINDSAY WAS EXTRAORDINARY. AND ESSENTIALLY MOURNING AND AND
02:55:05CAMPAIGNING AT THE SAME TIME.
02:55:08IT, THIS HAPPENS. BUT I'M A LITTLE SURPRISED. I THOUGHT
02:55:11THEY'D DO BETTER, ACTUALLY. >> MR. PRESIDENT.
02:55:15>> IT SOUNDS AWESOME TO HEAR HIM
02:55:19DEPRESSED. AND, YOU KNOW, I'M
02:55:21LIKE, HE'S ONLY QUARTER DENYING REALITY, WHICH IS A LITTLE
02:55:25SURPRISING. NINA. >> I MEAN, THIS IS WHY WHEN HE
02:55:28SAYS, I THOUGHT THEY WOULD DO
02:55:30BETTER. THIS IS HILARIOUS HOW THE PRESIDENT HAS FLIPPED THIS
02:55:34AROUND. I MEAN, I RECALL HIM
02:55:36SAYING TO HIS VOTERS AT ALMOST
02:55:38EVERY RALLY, TREAT THIS ELECTION
02:55:41CYCLE LIKE I AM ON THE BALLOT.
02:55:44WELL, GUESS WHAT? THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DID TREAT THIS ELECTION
02:55:48CYCLE LIKE YOU WERE ON THE BALLOT, AND THEY REJECTED YOU
02:55:51SOUNDLY. BUT THE WHOLE NOTION OF, I THOUGHT THEY WOULD DO
02:55:55BETTER NOW, EVEN THOUGH HE'S QUOTED IN THE NEW YORK TIMES AS
02:55:58SAYING, YOU KNOW, HE'S A THEY
02:56:02WON HIS TRUTH SOCIAL SAYS SOMETHING DIFFERENT UNLESS READS
02:56:05SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAN WHAT HE SAID TO THE NEW YORK TIMES,
02:56:07UNLESS HE TOOK IT DOWN, WHICH IS BASICALLY. HE SAID, OH, WELL, I
02:56:11WASN'T ON THE BALLOT. SO THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED. AND IF I HAD BEEN ON THE BALLOT, THEY
02:56:15WOULD HAVE WON. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN HUGE WINS, YOU KNOW. SO I
02:56:18DON'T KNOW. THIS IS THE PRESIDENT BEING THE PRESIDENT. I JUST YOU.
02:56:22>> SAID THAT IT'S LIKE A QUARTER
02:56:25ACCEPTING REALITY. LIKE, I GUESS IT'S GOOD THAT HE'S NOT MAYBE GOING TO TRY TO STOP THEM FROM
02:56:29SEEING THESE PEOPLE. ALTHOUGH MAYBE IN ALASKA, HE STILL WILL,
02:56:32BECAUSE IT'S VERY CLOSE. BUT
02:56:34LIKE, HE CAN'T TAKE ANY
02:56:37RESPONSIBILITY AT ALL. THE STATE OF THE COUNTRY. NO.
02:56:41>> BUT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY WAS NOT ON THE BOARD, JOHN. BUT LIKE.
02:56:44>> WE HAVE HEARD SO MUCH ABOUT
02:56:47MASCULINITY IN THIS COUNTRY AND. >> WHAT. >> IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE, AND
02:56:51EVERYTHING. IF YOU CANNOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR
02:56:54FAILINGS, I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE. YOU'RE NOT
02:56:58A MAN IN THAT CLASSIC SENSE. YOU GOOGLE MASCULINITY, OKAY?
02:57:01WHOEVER YOU THINK, YOU THINK CLINT EASTWOOD, YOU THINK JOHN WAYNE OR WHATEVER. THE IDEA THAT
02:57:05ALL OF THEM WOULD LIKE, TOTALLY BIFF SOMETHING JUST UP IN FLAMES
02:57:08AND THEY'RE LIKE, IT WAS PROBABLY HIM. NOPE, THAT'S NOT A
02:57:11MAN. THAT'S NOT ANY MAN THAT I'VE EVER HEARD OF. IF YOU
02:57:14CAN'T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR FAILURES, THEN YOU ARE NOT
02:57:18A MAN, NOT IN THE OLD SCHOOL SENSE THAT YOU SO ASPIRE TO.
02:57:21>> YEAH, I KNOW, I LOVE THAT POINT, JOHN. I MEAN, SO HERE'S
02:57:25THIS BROTHER WHO'S LIKE, NO, IT WASN'T ME. IT WASN'T ME. IT WAS HIM. AND IT WAS THEM. AND

02:57:31TO GO DESIGN MY BALLROOM AND MY REFLECTING POOL.
02:57:35>> GOD. >> YEAH. THAT'S THE BIG MANLY MAN.
02:57:39>> CAN'T AFFORD GAS. >> YEAH. AND YOU'RE TAKING SHOTS AT TALARICO.
02:57:42>> AUDACITY. THAT'S WHAT HE. YOU KNOW, SOME OVARIAN AUDACITY IS WHAT IS NEEDED.
02:57:46>> BY THE WAY, NINA, I TOLD YOUR
02:57:49OVARIAN AUDACITY LINE TO SOMEONE
02:57:50ELSE. THEY'RE LIKE, OH, THAT IS
02:57:54SO GOOD UM, SO ALL RIGHT, LAST
02:57:56CLIP HERE. THIS IS APPARENTLY
02:57:59PATRICK DAVID REACTING TO THE LIKELIHOOD THAT EL-SAYED WAS GOING TO WIN EARLIER IN THE

02:58:06WATCH. >> DO YOU DO YOU GENUINELY
02:58:08BELIEVE, PATRICK, THAT ABDUL
02:58:11EL-SAYED IS A JIHADIST TERRORIST?
02:58:14>> I HONESTLY DON'T KNOW, BECAUSE EVERY TIME HE'S BEEN ASKED, HE GETS VERY
02:58:17UNCOMFORTABLE WITH IT. HE'S NOT SOMEBODY THAT GETS COMFORTABLE
02:58:20WITH THAT STATEMENT. >> BUT.
02:58:24>> GOD. >> WHAT AM I GONNA DO WITH THESE GUYS? WHAT AM I GONNA DO WITH THEM?
02:58:28>> WELL, UH, LOOK, BY THE WAY, DO YOU THINK THAT, LIKE, FIVE
02:58:32YEARS FROM NOW, WHEN, UH, SENATOR EL-SAYED HAS BEEN AROUND
02:58:35AND DONE A WHOLE BUNCH OF THINGS THAT PBD AND THE GUYS LIKE THAT
02:58:39ARE GOING TO COME AROUND AND GO, OH, IT TURNS OUT HE WASN'T A JIHADIST TERRORIST. HE WAS JUST
02:58:42A NORMAL GUY WHO WOUND UP BEING A SENATOR AND A PRETTY GOOD ONE,
02:58:45RIGHT? NO. RIGHT. THEY'RE NEVER GOING TO COME BACK AND SAY, YEAH, WE'RE SO SORRY.
02:58:49>> WE WERE, LIKE, HORRIBLY BIGOTED, AND THAT DIDN'T MAKE
02:58:52ANY SENSE. AND WE WERE JUST TRYING TO GET YOU TO HATE HIM.
02:58:54SO YOU'D VOTE AGAINST HIM. AND WE'RE TERRIBLE PEOPLE.
02:58:58>> WHAT I LOVE IS WE LITERALLY JUST WENT THROUGH THIS WITH
02:59:02ZOHRAN MAMDANI. YOU GUYS DIDN'T LEARN ANYTHING FROM THIS. HIS
02:59:05APPROVAL RATING WAY UP. LIKE, AT THIS POINT IN HIS TERM, HE'S
02:59:08THE MOST POPULAR MAYOR OF NEW YORK, GOING BACK LITERALLY
02:59:11DECADES. AND YOU GUYS WERE SAYING THE EXACT SAME STUFF
02:59:14ABOUT JIHAD AND SHARIA LAW AND EVERYTHING. AND NOW EVERYBODY
02:59:16LOVES WHAT IT'S LIKE IN NEW YORK, AND WE'RE JUST GOING TO PASS IT ON TO THE NEXT MUSLIM
02:59:20PERSON. WE CAN NEVER LEARN AS A PEOPLE. YEAH.
02:59:23>> NO, DID ANYBODY CHECK ON
02:59:25CARVILLE? SEE IF HE. ALL RIGHT.

02:59:30SHOULD BE HAPPY ABOUT THIS. SO.
02:59:33>> NO. CARVILLE SAID, NO, HE AIN'T TURNING HIS PARTY OVER TO THE LIKES OF PEOPLE LIKE EL-SAYED.
02:59:37>> YEAH, WELL, SO THAT'S THE THING. LIKE, I GIVE CARVILLE
02:59:40THIS. HE IS TRUE BLUE, RIGHT? SO HE REALLY DOES CARE ABOUT
02:59:43DEMOCRATS. AND THEN HE GOT ALL UPSET ABOUT ABDUL EL-SAYED
02:59:46WINNING. AND THEN THE NEXT DAY, HE CHANGED HIS MIND AND SAID, YEAH, YEAH, OF COURSE, OF
02:59:49COURSE, WE WANT HIM TO WIN. >> OKAY. YEAH. OKAY. I JUST
02:59:52CHECK ON HIM, MAKE SURE HE'S DOING ALL RIGHT.
02:59:55>> RIGHT. BUT HE DOES NOT LIKE THESE. THIS WING OF THE PARTY
02:59:59WINNING. LET'S PUT IT THAT WAY. RIGHT. AND WE GOT A LOT OF WINS
03:00:01FOR THIS WING OF THE PARTY. HE KEPT SAYING ABOUT HOW RADICAL IT
03:00:05WAS TO BE AGAINST AIPAC. CAN WE
03:00:06TAKE A WIDE SHOT ONE MORE TIME?
03:00:10JAMES, I DON'T KNOW. WOULD YOU
03:00:12LIKE TO CHOOSE YOUR MUG? UH. SO
03:00:17ANYONE YOU LIKE, JAMES, THEY'RE RIGHT HERE. OKAY. AND. HEY,

03:00:24LOT OF VICTORIES, RIGHT? IT LOOKS LIKE CROSSING AIPAC
03:00:28DIDN'T COST US ANYTHING. IN
