00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:04,920
Speaker 1: The folks are coming in. Who will lead the free

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 1: world for the next four years? It's hither duplass.

3
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:12,040
Speaker 2: Ellen drive with one uz left, Let's get connected news

4
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:12,720
Speaker 2: talks d be.

5
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 3: All right, Good afternoon. It's looking like it's an uphill

6
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:19,479
Speaker 3: battles for Kamala Harris from here, and pretty sweet for

7
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 3: Donald Trump. Donald Trump is leading in all of the

8
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 3: swing states bar one, which is Nevada because counting hasn't

9
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 3: actually started there yet. And it's a very happy time

10
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 3: at Trump HQ.

11
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 1: You can hear a Donald Trump's favorite song, Ymca is

12
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 1: playing behind me. And certainly the audience here has gotten

13
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: a lot livelier in just the last forty five minutes

14
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 1: or so. Jake, We've been here for several hours, and

15
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:41,959
Speaker 1: that matches the feeling back at mar A Lago, where

16
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: we are hearing from Trump campaign sources that they are

17
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 1: feeling a lot more optimistic about these numbers.

18
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 3: Political commentator Dominic carts with us. Dominic, Hello, have a

19
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 3: good afternoon.

20
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 2: Is so nice to be here with you.

21
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 3: It is good to talk to you. I see New

22
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 3: York Times has got him on an eighty eight percent

23
00:00:57,920 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 3: chance of a win.

24
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 2: Had a use of this, Yes, well, Heather. I've been

25
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 2: calling this for a while because all indications were and

26
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 2: I've been covering politics for some forty years, Kamala Harris

27
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 2: has not been the ideal candidate for the Democrats, and

28
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 2: she hasn't resonated exactly the way that they expected her to.

29
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 2: Case in point, she hasn't done and this may be

30
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 2: hard to believe, she has not done one news conference

31
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 2: as the Democratic nominee. And so the swing states. I

32
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 2: have not seen this much excitement in America in many,

33
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 2: many years, one way or the other. Whether you support Trump,

34
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 2: don't support Trump, whether you hate Trump love Kamala Harris,

35
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 2: all indications are Heather. As of right now, the votes

36
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 2: are still coming in, but as of right now, Trump

37
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 2: is doing exceedingly well in the battle ground states and

38
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 2: world get ready because it looks like Trump is coming

39
00:01:58,320 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 2: back for a second term.

40
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 3: Now, how on earth have we got this so wrong?

41
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 3: Once again? Not seeing that Trump was gonna win it, well, some.

42
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 2: Of us predicted it from day one, And I'm not

43
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 2: saying that to my own horn. I'm saying that is

44
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,959
Speaker 2: because if you understand how much he's able to resonate

45
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 2: with people, the economy here in America, Heather is bad,

46
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 2: crime is bad. We have a migrant problem, a homeless problem.

47
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,239
Speaker 2: And Trump's line Heather at every campaign event where he

48
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 2: started with was is your life better off now than

49
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 2: it was four years ago? And obviously the answer is

50
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 2: it was better under his tenure. So again, you know,

51
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 2: things can change, but I don't think it's going to

52
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 2: He's headed back to the White House, and with his supporters,

53
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 2: many of them have not told posters Heather whether or

54
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 2: not they were gonna support Trump. I don't know why

55
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 2: they didn't tell the posters, but you're correct. Yet again,

56
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 2: posters have this wrong by all in every indication. It

57
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 2: is a strong possibility, really strong that he has headed

58
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 2: back to the White House.

59
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 3: Is anything going her way tonight, dominic? Because I looked

60
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 3: at the swing states that she had the lead in Pennsylvania, Michigan,

61
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 3: and I think it was Wisconsin. She he's leading, you know,

62
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:23,679
Speaker 3: that was the lead going into it. He's leading in

63
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 3: all of them. So is anything actually happening for her

64
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 3: this evening?

65
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 1: No?

66
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 2: And the clear sign of that, Heather, her people are

67
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 2: not saying anything, not saying anything to the media, trying

68
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 2: to spend their side. Trump is even doing well with

69
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 2: African American black voters and Hispanic voters getting higher numbers

70
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 2: than any other Republican So that's something wrong when the

71
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 2: nominee for your party happens to be black and she

72
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 2: can't resonate with her own race. That it just didn't work, Heather,

73
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 2: It did not work for her. It was an experiment

74
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 2: that we're bad and wrong for the Democrats, and they're

75
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 2: learning the hard way right now.

76
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 3: Composed back, Dominic, Thanks so much, mate, enjoy your evening.
