1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:04,800 Speaker 1: He's Night Side with Dan Ray w b Z Costin's 2 00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:05,480 Speaker 1: new radio. 3 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,720 Speaker 2: Well, election results are starting to come in, and at 4 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:15,880 Speaker 2: this point it looks as if the Democrats have had 5 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:21,080 Speaker 2: a very good night. They have picked up a governorship 6 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:27,960 Speaker 2: in Virginia, and they have defended a governorship in New Jersey, 7 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:36,519 Speaker 2: and Jack Chitderell Cidarelli has now conceded to Mickey Cheryl 8 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:37,839 Speaker 2: in New Jersey. 9 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:38,559 Speaker 3: Uh. 10 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:43,200 Speaker 2: And this this is an interesting set of results, and 11 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,959 Speaker 2: they are not results that the Trump administration is going 12 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 2: to be happy about. We also will be looking at well, 13 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 2: for example, we will look right now at the Virginia race. 14 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 2: Now again, I don't want to get lost in numbers here, 15 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 2: but to put this in perspective and to be candid, 16 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 2: this has been a very good night for the Democrats, 17 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,960 Speaker 2: who have not had very many good nights since last November. 18 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,120 Speaker 2: And let me try to put in a context for you. 19 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 2: In Virginia, a Democratic congresswoman, Abigail Spanberger, she's a former 20 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:30,040 Speaker 2: CIA agent, has won the governorship of Virginia with a 21 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 2: big number. Ninety percent of the votes have been counted 22 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 2: and she has fifty six point six percent of the vote. 23 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 2: Winsome Earl Sears the current lieutenant governor. She was Lieutenant 24 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 2: Governor Glenn Youngkin, who interestingly enough, has a fifty seven 25 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 2: percent approval rating in Virginia. That is a big number 26 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 2: for any governor to have a fifty seven percent approval rating. 27 00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 2: And yet his coattails did to help his lieutenant governor 28 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 2: when he won this race. When he won this seat 29 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty one, four years ago this month, he 30 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:20,800 Speaker 2: edged out longtime Democratic activist Terry mccauliffe by only about 31 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 2: sixty three thousand votes. It was not a razor thin margin, 32 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 2: but it was. Youngin had fifty point six percent of 33 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 2: the vote. Now, after a successful four year term in 34 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 2: which his fifty six percent of the vote grew to 35 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 2: where fifty seven percent of the voters in Virginia gave 36 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 2: him an approval rating, his running mate, his lieutenant governor 37 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:58,520 Speaker 2: win some Earl Sears only came up with forty three 38 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 2: percent of the vote. That is a big win for 39 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 2: the Democrats. That is a six percent increase for the Democrats. 40 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 2: And to give you an example, when Vice President Harris 41 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 2: ran against Donald Trump in twenty twenty four year ago, 42 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 2: Harris Kamala Harris had fifty two percent of the vote. 43 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:34,399 Speaker 2: She carried Virginia. Virginia is a Democratic state, but now 44 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 2: tonight Spanberger is close to five percentage points ahead of Harris, 45 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 2: So that's a big win for the Democrats tonight. Make 46 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 2: no mistake about it. Her coattails apparently have now also 47 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 2: won the race for the Democratic candidate for Attorney General, 48 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 2: Jay Jones. He has defeated the incumbent Republican Attorney General, 49 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 2: Jason my Yars. My Yars, this race did tighten up somewhat, 50 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 2: but it didn't tighten up enough. Jones is the guy 51 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,479 Speaker 2: who had, I guess sent an email to a friend 52 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,280 Speaker 2: a few years ago that he wished he could put 53 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 2: a couple of bullets in the head of the Republican 54 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 2: Speaker of the House. Despite that language, Democrats gave Jones 55 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:35,799 Speaker 2: a four percent five percent win tonight with ninety percent 56 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 2: of the votes counted. So Virginia, which which was a 57 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 2: state that the Republicans were hoping they could pick up 58 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 2: a governorship, didn't happen. Meanwhile, meanwhile, in New Jersey, and 59 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 2: by the way, these two states are very interesting in 60 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:56,479 Speaker 2: that they're both on the East coast. One is a 61 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 2: northern state, New Jersey and one is sort of considered 62 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 2: a southern state for Rginia, but they're very close. Virginia's 63 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 2: population is about eight point seven million, New Jersey about 64 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:13,600 Speaker 2: nine million, so they're very close in size, and their 65 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 2: numbers tonight are pretty close as well. Mickey Cheryl, a congresswoman, 66 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 2: faced off against Jack Cidarelli. Now. Sidarelli two years ago 67 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 2: had forty eight percent of the vote. He came very 68 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 2: close to on seating Phil Murphy, the incumbent Democrat. Murphy's 69 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 2: numbers are way down. He has an approval rating of 70 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 2: about forty seven percent, and many people thought that this 71 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 2: was Cidarelli's race to win because he had forty eight 72 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:58,919 Speaker 2: percent four years ago. Tonight he's down about five percent 73 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 2: and forty three percent. So the Republicans not only lost 74 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 2: both Virginia and New Jersey, but they lost those races 75 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 2: by substantial margins. And even though they won Virginia two 76 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 2: years ago, it is now a pickup for the Democrats 77 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 2: and New Jersey becomes almost an embarrassment for Cidarelli, who 78 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:31,279 Speaker 2: seemed to have some momentum behind him now in New Jersey. 79 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,840 Speaker 2: In New Jersey, assuming that with eighty four percent of 80 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:43,920 Speaker 2: the votes. In Ryl's numbers pretty much hold as they will. 81 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 2: Harris won Vice President Kamala Harris won New Jersey again 82 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 2: very similar to Virginia. She got fifty two percent of 83 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 2: the vote and Donald Trump had forty six. Both of 84 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 2: those states, similar in size, went fifty two forty six 85 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,840 Speaker 2: for the Democrat over President Trump in twenty twenty four, 86 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 2: So these are not easy states for Republicans. However, tonight 87 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 2: both Spanberger, the Democrat in Virginia, is doing better on 88 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 2: a percentage basis than Harris did a year ago, doing 89 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 2: better by about four points, and the same in New Jersey. 90 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 2: The Democrat Ryl in New Jersey is doing better by 91 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:37,679 Speaker 2: four points that Harris did a year ago in New Jersey. 92 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 2: So this is a bad night for Donald Trump and 93 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 2: a bad night for the Republicans, even up against what 94 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 2: most would say has been a pretty successful nine months 95 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 2: for President Trump in that he has followed through and 96 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 2: successful accomplished several of the things that he had promised. 97 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 2: So I want to open the phone lines up and 98 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 2: I want to have your reaction to this. We'll take 99 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 2: a look at the New York City mayor's race as well, 100 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 2: and we'll also take a look at and that seems 101 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,239 Speaker 2: to be going eighty nine percent of the votes in there. 102 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 2: It looks as if Mum Donnie is going to get 103 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 2: just above fifty percent of the vote. Cuomo the Independent 104 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 2: is at forty one point six percent of the vote, 105 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:41,319 Speaker 2: and Sleewa the Republican is seven point two percent of 106 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 2: the vote. It looks as if Cuomo picked up some 107 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 2: of Sleewah's support in Staten Island. On Staten Island, but 108 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 2: not enough. So it's a swite for the Democrats. Mandani 109 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 2: becomes the next mayor of New York. We have a 110 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 2: Democratic Socialist mayor of New York and the Democrats win 111 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 2: both governors races tonight. Interesting interesting issues and we'll get 112 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 2: to the to the issues. Here in Massachusetts and well 113 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 2: certainly in Boston, it's more city council races because at 114 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 2: this point Michelle wou is running unopposed the number six two, six, seven, 115 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 2: nine thirty. You can join us. We have an interesting 116 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 2: guest already on the guest line, and feel free to 117 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 2: join the conversation. I'll introduce that guest in a moment 118 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 2: back on Nightside right after this. 119 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 1: It's Night Side with Dan Ray on Boston's news radio. 120 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 2: We're following the results in Virginia, New Jersey, New York City. 121 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 2: The Democrats have swept the board and despite a lot 122 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:57,320 Speaker 2: of efforts to help the Cuomo campaign in New York City, 123 00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 2: that apparently has fallen flat as well. And we're also 124 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 2: going to be canty Boston City Hall results as the 125 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 2: evening goes on. They are going to come in a 126 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 2: little bit more slowly. Unfortunately, joining us is a very 127 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 2: familiar face, and I'm delighted to talk with former US 128 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 2: Senator from Massachusetts now a Republican senatorial candidate in New Hampshire, 129 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,680 Speaker 2: Scott Brown. Scott, this is not good news for the 130 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:24,680 Speaker 2: Republicans tonight. 131 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 4: Well, then, I was actually listening to your analysis. I 132 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 4: was going to have a nice relaxing ride home, and 133 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 4: I had to just remind you that New Jersey has 134 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 4: eight hundred thousand more registered Democrats than Republicans. Number one. 135 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:42,199 Speaker 4: New York's Democrat to Republican is seven to one, and 136 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 4: in the last couple of years, a lot of those 137 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 4: people that would have helped in both of those states, 138 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,560 Speaker 4: quite frankly, a lot of them have actually moved. So 139 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,440 Speaker 4: what do you have now do you have basically a 140 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 4: socialist in a semi who basically is going to be 141 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 4: the face of the rudderless Democratic Party and who's going 142 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 4: to be campaigning in places like New Hampshire for Chris 143 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 4: Pappits and all around the country. So to think somehow 144 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 4: this is anything more to do with the fact that 145 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,719 Speaker 4: these are definitely blue states. There are always blue states. 146 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 4: And in Virginia, listen with the government shut down, a 147 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 4: lot of government workers there and feel on the pain. 148 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 4: And she wasn't, respectfully a wonderful woman, but wasn't a 149 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 4: good candidate. She definitely was not Glenn Younkin. So the 150 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 4: sky is not falling. You know. I didn't think that 151 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 4: they were going to win, and you know my predictions 152 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 4: were accurate. 153 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,200 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, they swept the board. And the thing that 154 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 2: to me is interesting is that even the difference of 155 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 2: a year both in Virginia and New Jersey, I could 156 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 2: put New York aside as an anomaly. And frankly that 157 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 2: might be a gift for the Republican Party because I 158 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:52,440 Speaker 2: think that that's only going to incent more you know, 159 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 2: very progressive social members of Social Democrats for America to 160 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:01,720 Speaker 2: infiltrate the Democratic party and they there will be more Zorahan. 161 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 4: They are the Democratic Party. They are the Democratic Party 162 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 4: right now. There's no, there's no The old blue dog 163 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 4: Democrats JFK would never be allowed, Gosh, Ted Kennedy would 164 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,200 Speaker 4: not be allowed in this party. And Obama and those 165 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 4: guys they're like old timers. So no, this is a 166 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 4: new Democratic Party where you have you know, my Mamdani 167 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 4: and AOC and and a lot of the other folks 168 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 4: there that are basically, you know, just trying to you know, 169 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,439 Speaker 4: they're against everything the president's doing, certainly, but the men 170 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 4: and boys and women in girls' sports, open border, sanctuary cities, 171 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,199 Speaker 4: you know, tearing away at the very fabric of our country. 172 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,200 Speaker 4: And quite frankly, that's one of the reasons I'm. 173 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 2: Running well again. I I just look at these numbers 174 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:50,560 Speaker 2: and I realized that Kamala Harris in both New Jersey 175 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 2: and Virginia, two similar states, but also a little residential. 176 00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 4: Though then it's a presidential it's a whole different ballgame. 177 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 2: You know. It's no that I get that, but I'm 178 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 2: saying that the even with a successful year for the president, 179 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 2: I was looking at some of the internal polls that 180 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 2: were coming out of Virginia and New Jersey today and 181 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 2: I didn't see much in the you know, Donald Trump 182 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,960 Speaker 2: was not being given much. But the point I wanted 183 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,719 Speaker 2: to make was that that Harris in both of those 184 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 2: states gets fifty two percent. She carries Virginia. In New Jersey, fine, 185 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 2: but both a Spamburger and Cheryl have increased the Democratic 186 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 2: percentage in this election. One year later by five percentage points. 187 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:47,679 Speaker 2: They were up in fifty six fifty seven territory and Cidarelli, 188 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:51,840 Speaker 2: who came very close against an incumbent Democrat in twenty 189 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 2: twenty one, got blown up tonight and I thought he 190 00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,439 Speaker 2: actually had a chance of winning in that state. 191 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, I never did. It's twenty twenty five, man, you know, 192 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,320 Speaker 4: lots lots of change. Then, I mean, look at what 193 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 4: the country and the world have gone through. They went 194 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,200 Speaker 4: through an intends election, they went through COVID obviously still 195 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 4: picking up the pieces from the Biden disaster, the open borders, 196 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 4: sanctuary cities, you know, all the things that you're finding, 197 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 4: and yeah, it's uncomfortable to deal with a lot of 198 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 4: these things. But there is the answer that that you know, 199 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 4: the president does nothing that we continue to have the 200 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 4: open borders, and we continue to do a lot of 201 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 4: the things that. 202 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 2: I don't I agree with you. I would agree with 203 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 2: you that. Let me ask you this. You're a candidate 204 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 2: for next year in New Hampshire, and I know that 205 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 2: you feel that you will prevail and you will be 206 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 2: the nominee for the Republican Party in New Hampshire next year. 207 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 2: When you look at these numbers after the successes that 208 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 2: Donald Trump has had, you're basically suggesting to me that 209 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 2: there are a number of factors off your factors. I 210 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 2: get it. But Glenn Young one in Virginia, Glenn youngin 211 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:07,359 Speaker 2: had a fifty seven percent approval rate from voters that 212 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 2: that did not carry for his lieutenant governor at all. 213 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 2: What does this augur for the for the midterm elections 214 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 2: where you're going to be front and center and your 215 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 2: your race might be one of the races where the 216 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 2: Republicans have a really good chance of picking up a 217 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 2: US senden see. 218 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 4: Well, first of all, she is definitely not Glenn Young 219 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 4: And I mean he was a very special man a 220 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 4: special time and did a great job and it will 221 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 4: end with a very high approval rating. And if you're 222 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 4: looking in New Hampshire, it really comes down to not 223 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 4: only in the state's you're referring to a but in 224 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 4: New Hampshire comes down to the candidates. You know, individual candidates, 225 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 4: what they bring to the office, and a lot of 226 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 4: the things you're seeing the president do, respectfully, a lot 227 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 4: of the economic matters and others whether you're speaking to 228 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 4: you know, a lot of the economic advisors they'll be 229 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 4: clicking in in the next six to eight months. And 230 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 4: you know, it takes time to fix specfully once again 231 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 4: the mess that we were left with. So yeah, listen, 232 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 4: it's a long, long year, almost a year away from 233 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 4: the primary here. You know, it just comes down to 234 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 4: hard work. And I think New Hampshire is a lot 235 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 4: different than those states because we have a Republican governor 236 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 4: in Kelly Aid, a supermajority in the Senate, a large 237 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 4: majority in the House of supermajority, and the Executive Council. 238 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 4: And we don't have no income tax, no sales tax, 239 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 4: no interest in dividends tax. You know, carry a gun 240 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 4: or not, motorcycle, helmet or not, no bottle bill. So 241 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 4: that New Hampshire advantage is real, and it's different than 242 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 4: New Jersey with the highest tax rate. You know, it 243 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 4: was eleven point ninety five in New York City. You know, which, 244 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 4: you have, the high cost of living in a whole 245 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 4: host of other things. I thought, is you had, you know, 246 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 4: a good message to young people who basically haven't been 247 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 4: in the workforce, they can't afford to live there. But 248 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 4: the answer is not, you know, giving away other people's 249 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 4: money and opening up government run grocery stores. What do 250 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 4: they have forty one thousand grocery stores in New York City? 251 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:04,119 Speaker 2: Five? Yeah, which is what you do? And again, I 252 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 2: can understand the vote in New York City. I don't 253 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 2: understand the vote in New Jersey. 254 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 4: Yeah I do. I mean it's eight hundred thousand more 255 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 4: registered Democrats, and a lot of those Democrats because of 256 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 4: the high taxes, the lack of safety and security, the 257 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 4: high energy costs, they've they've already left. They've either gone 258 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:22,679 Speaker 4: to Florida or Texas. 259 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 2: And they say, you say the Republicans have left. Yeah, yeah, 260 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:33,359 Speaker 2: Well I'll tell you. I. I looked at the Ciderelli 261 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 2: campaign and I thought to myself, Okay, this guy came 262 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 2: very close this year. The New Jersey voters will give 263 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,400 Speaker 2: him a chance. I thought the Republicans and Democrats would 264 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 2: split today. You thought that the Dems would carry both 265 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 2: New Jersey in Virginia. 266 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 4: And yeah, no I'm not. I don't know if I'm 267 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:54,480 Speaker 4: if I'm glad, I'm right, or I'm not glad, But 268 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 4: I do know that mom Donny is a new face 269 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 4: of the Democratic parties and ani smighties not in favor 270 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,399 Speaker 4: of law enforcement and the police for sure. You know, 271 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,359 Speaker 4: he wants to basically tear apart in our society as 272 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,120 Speaker 4: we know, a rip up capitalism. This is guy who 273 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,479 Speaker 4: is at a silver spoon in his mouth and went 274 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,960 Speaker 4: to boat and you know his parents are millionaires. Yet 275 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 4: you know he wants to, you know, obviously destroy the 276 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 4: very fabric of. 277 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 2: Our I'm sure his money's are safely in sconstant trust somewhere, so. 278 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 4: He doesn't trusts, you know, Dan, you know what the 279 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,200 Speaker 4: beauty of it is. And the thing I love about 280 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 4: politics is that you know there's a there's not usually 281 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,119 Speaker 4: another election tomorrow or next week or next year, and 282 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 4: you know we get to do this all over again 283 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,639 Speaker 4: and have these very same conversations all over again. 284 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,480 Speaker 2: Well, we we will see what happens.

I'm looking at those numbers tonight, 310 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 2: I'm thinking to myself, Ge, can we hold the House? 311 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 2: Can we hold the Senate? Those those are real concerns 312 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,959 Speaker 2: that he has at this point. And I don't know 313 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,880 Speaker 2: that he's going to change his his persona. I don't 314 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 2: think he can change his persona. But I do think 315 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 2: some of the the memes that he has sent out 316 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:28,920 Speaker 2: cost him votes.

And now when you have Donald Trumps 335 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 5: president and I think many many failures, you know you're 336 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,679 Speaker 5: going to start having big Democratic wins. And Democrats have 337 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:46,199 Speaker 5: been winning special elections all during twenty twenty five. This 338 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 5: is not a surprise at all. 339 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 2: Well, a special election is a different thing. So tell me, 340 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 2: give me your your top three failures for Donald Trump. 341 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 2: What what has he done? And that in terms of 342 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:10,440 Speaker 2: substantive issues, I suspected most people in Virginia and New 343 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:18,879 Speaker 2: Jersey who have, for one case, have seen I Ra's 344 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 2: I should say, have seen those. Those the value of 345 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,400 Speaker 2: those go on? What has he done that has been 346 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:32,160 Speaker 2: that has been so so negative? 347 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 5: Well, certainly so. You know I lived in the DC 348 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 5: area for eight years. I actually lived in northern Virginia, 349 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:40,919 Speaker 5: right outside the city. 350 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,359 Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, and which is a lot. It's a government town. 351 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 2: I get it. A lot of people work for the 352 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 2: government and a lot. 353 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 5: Of people don't are out of work from there all 354 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 5: because of Donald Trump. 355 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 2: See, well, we're going to disagree on that, because they 356 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,399 Speaker 2: have been what is it, number fourteen votes right to 357 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:00,920 Speaker 2: you open the government. 358 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:06,359 Speaker 5: How, I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about USAID. 359 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 5: I'm talking about CFPB, the Department of Educating, right, all 360 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:11,160 Speaker 5: the places. 361 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 2: That's fair. That's fair. I'll give you that point. Yeah, 362 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:14,159 Speaker 2: that's a good point. 363 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:18,919 Speaker 5: So he by the way, he you know, I'm not sure. 364 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,679 Speaker 5: I mean, Donald Trump has been going his Pulley numbers 365 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 5: have been dropping slowly since he became president in virtually 366 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:29,359 Speaker 5: every area, right, But I think this kind of election 367 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:33,359 Speaker 5: is more about, you know, the anti Trump vote is 368 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 5: so strong that those people all came out to vote, 369 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,240 Speaker 5: you know, in general and being very Oh. 370 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 2: I think you're right. I think that. Look you look 371 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 2: at either one of these races. Look at Virginia, Look 372 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 2: at New Jersey. Cinderelli came within two points of knocking 373 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,200 Speaker 2: off an incumbent government. He's going to lose by ten 374 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 2: or ten or twelve points this time. So this is 375 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:54,200 Speaker 2: a guy who was that close to the governor's office. 376 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 2: I don't think he's made any mistakes and he's been 377 00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:05,679 Speaker 2: campaigning for it. He's done. In Virginia, Glenn Lunk Glenn 378 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:10,640 Speaker 2: Youngkin has a fifty seven percent positive rating. He won 379 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,919 Speaker 2: by by just not a few votes. I think it 380 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 2: was sixty thousand votes four years ago. But he's grown. 381 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,960 Speaker 2: Youngkin has grown his popularity from fifty percent to fifty 382 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 2: seven percent, and yet his lieutenant governor no coattails for 383 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 2: for Glen young For that Glenn Youngkin provided to win 384 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,640 Speaker 2: some earl sears, you know. 385 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:40,160 Speaker 5: It would have been interesting to see a Spanberger Youngkin election. 386 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 2: He would have blew roy. He would have blown her 387 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 2: out of the water. 388 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:47,400 Speaker 5: I don't think. Well, first of all, I disagree. I think, 389 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 5: well you got you got it. 390 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:52,119 Speaker 2: He's got a fifty seven percent approval race rating. He 391 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:53,480 Speaker 2: could run for you, I think. 392 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:59,920 Speaker 5: I think so. While Spanburger, you know, she won Eric 393 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,919 Speaker 5: Canter's district. If you remember who he. 394 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,600 Speaker 2: Was, I remember can He was number three. The Republicans 395 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:08,119 Speaker 2: bumped him off. Actually he got knocked out in a primary. 396 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,399 Speaker 5: He did get knocked out in a primary. But you know, 397 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:17,200 Speaker 5: a conservative district, Spanburger is very is not Mam Donnie 398 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:21,719 Speaker 5: or AOC. She's a very monument. I think you know 399 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 5: this is gonna sound really pious guy and ridiculous. But today, 400 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:31,359 Speaker 5: if there were a Spanburger Brown, Uh wait, it's the 401 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 5: Senate candidate. Suddenly I forgot his name, but Scott Brown. Yeah, 402 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 5: if there was a Spanburger Brown election in New Hampshire, 403 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:40,200 Speaker 5: I think Spanberger would have beat him. Given a state 404 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 5: of art politician, you. 405 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,200 Speaker 2: Could you can you can come up with with all 406 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 2: of that. And again it's a hypothetical. I think Scott 407 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 2: Brown and uh and and John johnny sonnu have a 408 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 2: real possibility. Whoever survives that race if they run the 409 00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,640 Speaker 2: race intelligently, and it'll be a close race. Whoever survives 410 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 2: it gets the endorsement of the other And I think 411 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 2: that the Republicans pick up a seat. But look, you 412 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 2: still haven't given me. You tell me that that the 413 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:13,080 Speaker 2: doze cuts had an impact in Virginia. Okay, what else? 414 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:17,159 Speaker 2: What else has Trump done or failed to do? Do 415 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,399 Speaker 2: you do you think you're hitting? Let me ask you this. 416 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 2: Do you think that him taking Iran off the stage 417 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 2: as a nuclear player? People are saying, oh, no, we 418 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:26,919 Speaker 2: want to run back with nuclear weapons. I don't think so. 419 00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:31,919 Speaker 2: I don't think so. Has he showed a little bit 420 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 2: more energy than his predecessor. 421 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 5: He sure has look at all the But okay, so Dan, 422 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,400 Speaker 5: I supported Trump in the Iran bombing. 423 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:46,440 Speaker 2: Right, I know that. That's why I don't. 424 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:51,360 Speaker 5: I'm not sure that people care that much about it 425 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,640 Speaker 5: today at the polls. Well, I think you. 426 00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:55,639 Speaker 2: Want to think you can. I'll gride you that the 427 00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:59,200 Speaker 2: attention span of the American public is pretty short. Right now. 428 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 2: He's blowing these drug boats out of the water in 429 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 2: uh in the Caribbean. Did they really think that these 430 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 2: are like families out in pleasure crafts that he's born up. 431 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 5: I think that. I think it's a nis. So the 432 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,960 Speaker 5: problem is that's Donald Trump, Dan, Donald Trump who said 433 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 5: that he had a conversation with his uncle about the unibomber. 434 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 5: I mean, and you know how that imploded, right, I mean, 435 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 5: I know, you know, because his uncle died ten years 436 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 5: before we even knew who the unibomber was. 437 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,640 Speaker 2: And Hill Hillary Clinton was named after Sir Edmund Hillary, 438 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:40,880 Speaker 2: although she was born five years before Hillary Cline Mount Everest. Yeah, 439 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:42,399 Speaker 2: they all, they all have done that. 440 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:48,400 Speaker 5: But you know, I mean I think it Trump takes 441 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 5: it to new levels. I mean, I think I would 442 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,479 Speaker 5: hope you would see that. I think you just don't know. 443 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 2: Stylistically, the idea, the idea of of of you know, 444 00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:00,639 Speaker 2: some of some of the the photograph of not the 445 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,359 Speaker 2: photograph what they call it, a meme of him flying 446 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 2: over New York City and uh uh and bombing, you know, 447 00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 2: dropping uh waste from new from the airplane look stylistically horrible. 448 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,239 Speaker 2: But he's not going to change. And maybe that's what 449 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,680 Speaker 2: the Democrats need, is is Donald Trump on Jane. Let's see, 450 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:20,000 Speaker 2: let's see what happens. 451 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 5: You know, I am not you know, I'm happy the 452 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:26,240 Speaker 5: Democrats won, but I'm not rejoicing because I know why 453 00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,199 Speaker 5: they're winning. They're winning, in my view, because Trump is 454 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 5: so horrible. I voted for Haley in the primaries. I 455 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:36,439 Speaker 5: registered as a Republican and vote against Trump, and she 456 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 5: would have she would have cleaned Biden's clock in an election, 457 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 5: and I think we'd be a much better country if 458 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:45,720 Speaker 5: she were president right now. 459 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,719 Speaker 2: So I'll tell you this, I'm not sure that the 460 00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:52,000 Speaker 2: that these drug boats from Venezuela, which which are carrying 461 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,520 Speaker 2: a lot of bad stuff and not getting into the country, 462 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:58,200 Speaker 2: I liked. I enjoy seeing those bunk those boats sunk Uh, 463 00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 2: and the and the drugs which would killed young Americans 464 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 2: who are who are who were for whatever reason allowing 465 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 2: themselves to be exposed to this stuff which can kill them. 466 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 2: I don't know how many young Americans lives will be saved. 467 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 2: We'll see, let's see what happens.

What's your thought on tonight? 500 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,760 Speaker 7: Well, you know, I listened to the election results and everything, 501 00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:54,560 Speaker 7: and it's not surprising to me that the Democrats won. 502 00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:58,440 Speaker 7: But the thing that I don't think they take into 503 00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:02,800 Speaker 7: consideration is people that I'm migrating out of these states 504 00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:04,200 Speaker 7: and leaving. 505 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:08,400 Speaker 2: Well, all I'm saying is that the Democratic candidates in 506 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:18,800 Speaker 2: New Jersey and in Virginia for governor have exceeded what 507 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 2: Kamala Harris carried these two states a year ago. But 508 00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 2: she carried both these states with fifty two percent of 509 00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 2: the vote. Tonight, those two Democratic members of Congress who 510 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 2: will now soon be governors of New Jersey and Virginia 511 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,680 Speaker 2: carried their states by fifty by fifty six percent of 512 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:40,920 Speaker 2: the vote. They grew their vote. 513 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:42,600 Speaker 7: Grew their vote, but then it was still so close. 514 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:46,760 Speaker 2: I mean, close to fifty six to forty four is 515 00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:47,600 Speaker 2: not a close election. 516 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:53,400 Speaker 7: No, I know, but I mean I just don't think. 517 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:57,400 Speaker 7: I mean, I think people are moving out of these 518 00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:01,600 Speaker 7: states and that's what's going on. I mean, how do 519 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:05,040 Speaker 7: you have, like, instead of Wall Street, you got y'all 520 00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 7: Street down in Dallas, Texas. I mean, it's right. 521 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:15,400 Speaker 2: But what happens then is states that the Republicans periodically 522 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:19,360 Speaker 2: can pick up in a presidential election, like a Virginia, maybe 523 00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,440 Speaker 2: even like a Pennsylvania as they did last time, a Michigan. 524 00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:25,560 Speaker 2: When those are back in playing the Democrats pick them up. 525 00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:28,959 Speaker 2: Those are the states that decide the presidential election. 526 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,640 Speaker 5: I know, I know, it's scary well. 527 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,400 Speaker 2: You know again, it's not scary if you're a Democrat. Tonight, 528 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,680 Speaker 2: tonight the Democrats are celebrating as well they should. And 529 00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,120 Speaker 2: I'm not going to sit here and mislead people and 530 00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,320 Speaker 2: say it was a great night for the Republicans. This 531 00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:47,120 Speaker 2: was a disastrous night for the Republicans. My friend Scott 532 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,480 Speaker 2: Brown and I disagree on it. I think he's New 533 00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,640 Speaker 2: Hampshire centric, and I think he's focusing on what he 534 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,760 Speaker 2: and the Republicans need to do, either he or John E. Sanou, 535 00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,440 Speaker 2: who need to do to take back that seat to 536 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,800 Speaker 2: get a republic Can in the US Senate from New Hampshire. 537 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,480 Speaker 2: I'm looking at the broader picture here, and I'm looking 538 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,120 Speaker 2: at Virginia. I'm looking at New Jersey, and I'm looking 539 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:11,280 Speaker 2: a guy named Cidarelli who came this close to unseating 540 00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:15,200 Speaker 2: an incumbent Democratic governor four years ago, and tonight he's 541 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:16,120 Speaker 2: blown out of the water. 542 00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:20,880 Speaker 5: I know, but. 543 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:27,840 Speaker 2: Hey, you know, like anything else, politics is like sports. 544 00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 2: You have to make adjustments. You know, the Patriots have 545 00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:33,000 Speaker 2: a bad first half, they go into the locker room 546 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,000 Speaker 2: and they make some adjustments and they come up and 547 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:35,680 Speaker 2: win the game. 548 00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,360 Speaker 7: So at the end of the day. We'll all recover 549 00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:39,360 Speaker 7: no matter what. 550 00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:41,520 Speaker 2: Oh, let us hope. So we live in the greatest 551 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:43,320 Speaker 2: country in the world, whoever's. 552 00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,480 Speaker 7: Running at Yes, let's not ever forget. 553 00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:48,800 Speaker 2: That, no doubt. Carol, Thank you much, Talk to you soon. 554 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,080 Speaker 5: Okay, take care of I have a great night. 555 00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:52,840 Speaker 2: All right, let me keep rolling here.

I knew that that the 564 00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:12,600 Speaker 6: Democrats would make a clean sweep, but I was even 565 00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:14,759 Speaker 6: more sure that they would make a clean sweep after 566 00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:17,200 Speaker 6: that interview that he did on sixty minutes. I'm sure 567 00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:20,400 Speaker 6: Nora o'donna's o'donnald is sitting back smiling tonight. 568 00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:23,759 Speaker 2: She maybe My view on it was that they both 569 00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:27,040 Speaker 2: handled themselves well. She gave Trump an opportunity to say 570 00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:30,160 Speaker 2: what he wanted to say, and Trump had an opportunity 571 00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:33,520 Speaker 2: to sit there. He just won sixteen million dollars from 572 00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:35,279 Speaker 2: from from the old CBS. 573 00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:39,279 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I mean he sat there and just made 574 00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:42,680 Speaker 3: one fantastical eye after another, and people may. 575 00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:45,160 Speaker 2: Give me, give me two of the most fantastic Well, 576 00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:45,799 Speaker 2: let me ask you. 577 00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:48,560 Speaker 3: He said that people, he said, people with four one 578 00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:51,640 Speaker 3: case the for a one case doubled.
