1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,920
Speaker 1: Okay, we're hearing we're just going to go straight to

2
00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 1: Thomas one. That little stingy thing didn't work. We're hearing.

3
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris, by the way, is not planning on speaking tonight.

4
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is on his way to his party. Thomas

5
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:14,320
Speaker 1: Coglin is at the Kamala Harris HQ. Hey Thomas, Hey, Ever,

6
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 1: what's the vibe? I heard that they killed the CNN

7
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:19,120
Speaker 1: feed and the pumping the music to try to hype

8
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: you guys up.

9
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:24,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's pumping Adele Heather who comes adle to get

10
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:25,080
Speaker 2: people hyped up?

11
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: Is it a sad adele song? Or is it like

12
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 1: a happy breakup song?

13
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 2: Well, it was rolling in the deeps, which it like

14
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 2: it's upseeat but the lyrics coming room yep, you know, yep.

15
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 2: So I have to say it didn't work. But what

16
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 2: I'm looking at right now is so the bit in

17
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 2: front of the stage of Kamala Harris was due to speak,

18
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 2: that bit of the that that bit of the university

19
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 2: who had been empty most of the night. In about

20
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 2: eleven o'clock, Kamala Harris's campaign staff filed in Getting Radio.

21
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 2: I suppose maybe the here speak, maybe a couple of

22
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 2: hundred of them filed them or wearing MVP lanyards. I'm

23
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 2: now watching them fire loud again. A lot of those,

24
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 2: a lot of those campaign staff appear to be sort

25
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 2: of giving up now. Whether that's there's definitely an indication

26
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 2: that she's not speaking tonight. Does does sort of feel

27
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 2: like I'm getting that way? You know, I don't even

28
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,639
Speaker 2: know that that's regardless. I'm watching maybe fifty or sixty

29
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 2: campaign staff just leave. Elsewhere in the university, there maybe

30
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 2: a couple of thousand students students here, and they are

31
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 2: just quiet. You know, have you ever seen two thousand

32
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 2: students be absolutely quiet?

33
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 1: What does this tell you, Thomas? Is this like an

34
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 1: acceptance that it's all over and there is no chance?

35
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: Or or is like is there just the outside of

36
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: people believe in there's an outside chance?

37
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 2: No? I I mean, look look at studentistically. You've got

38
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 2: to look at those numbers and say, like, credibly, there

39
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 2: is a there is a tiny path to victory for

40
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 2: Kamala Harris. But but obviously it's pretty narrow, and it

41
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,919
Speaker 2: looks like, by far and away, the most likely outcome

42
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 2: of this election is that Donald Trump's got a whim

43
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 2: and actually divine on the ground here is I think acceptance.

44
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,559
Speaker 2: I think they're looking at that New York Times needle.

45
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 2: They're looking at the pathway the victory narrowing, and the

46
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 2: vibe here feels very much like they have accepted that

47
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 2: this is that, that this is probably all over. Interestingly enough,

48
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,239
Speaker 2: Kamala Harris's campaign chairs seem to have an emails maybe

49
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 2: half an hour forty five minutes ago saying that that

50
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 2: that they always thought the path the victory would lie

51
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 2: through there those blue Wall states Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan.

52
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 2: So that's still hanging on to that host. But gosh,

53
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm just, as I'm talking to you, even

54
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 2: more campaigns to have the leaving. But that's you know, honestly,

55
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 2: Donald Trump looks like he's doing pretty well in those states,

56
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 2: but even that pathway downrom Bojacks, Right.

57
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, Now, we were told earlier that she was going

58
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: to speak, and now she's not going to speak. So

59
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 1: what happened was that just a miscommunication or was she

60
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: actually planning to speak and changed her mind.

61
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 2: I'm not I actually don't have information on there. I haven't.

62
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 2: We're in the media, tendon that's keeping us in the

63
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 2: jars and all this. I had heard that she was

64
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 2: going to speak regardless, because obviously it's pretty important to

65
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 2: say something as concession or something. But you know this

66
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 2: this campaign email from from the campaign chess to muddy things,

67
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 2: because that suggests that, you know, a bit like a

68
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 2: bit like last year, they're still seeing a pathway to

69
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 2: victory that that they want to make sure as they're

70
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 2: both absolutely closed off before they are for any kind

71
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 2: of confession. It's also it's just approaching midnight here, so

72
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 2: maybe they're thinking it's a bit late and they'll do

73
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 2: what what Hillary Clinton did in twenty sixteen, speak in

74
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 2: the morning. So yeah, it's an interesting one. At least

75
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 2: forty five minutes ago, the campaign was still telling people

76
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 2: that they you know, that that the pathway the victory

77
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,119
Speaker 2: that they thought was their main pathway the victory there

78
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 2: scenario number one. They thought that was still open to them.

79
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 2: But so, Thomas, what's your plan anyone he believe that.

80
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: How long are you going to stick around listening to Adele?

81
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I'm they've changed the Adele and I'm

82
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 2: hoping they keep changing the music up. I have heard

83
00:03:55,080 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 2: the same song Spike. Now I'm just I'm an to

84
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:01,119
Speaker 2: stay here until it's over.

85
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: He might be there for a long time. Thomas, thank

86
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,960
