WEBVTT - Egg Is My Option 0:00:01.850 --> 0:00:05.710 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the 0:00:05.750 --> 0:00:07.740 George Washington Broadcast Center. 0:00:07.790 --> 0:00:10.000 Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 0:00:10.180 --> 0:00:17.240 Armstrong and Getty. And now, here's Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:23.320 --> 0:00:26.390 El-Sayed spent the day with progressive Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, 0:00:26.829 --> 0:00:29.650 pushing their common message of Medicare for all and higher 0:00:29.690 --> 0:00:33.610 taxes on millionaires and billionaires, all one day after Congresswoman 0:00:33.630 --> 0:00:37.000 Haley Stevens, who lost the Democratic nomination by less than. 0:00:36.909 --> 0:00:38.680 A percentage point to El-Sayed. 0:00:39.330 --> 0:00:43.010 Flipped her endorsement to Republican Mike Rogers over Elside's stance 0:00:43.050 --> 0:00:46.390 towards Israel. Elside's campaign says it raised nearly two and 0:00:46.430 --> 0:00:49.400 a half million dollars yesterday after the Stevens announcement. 0:00:50.080 --> 0:00:51.960 It shouldn't be this hard to pay your taxes and 0:00:51.979 --> 0:00:53.800 know that that money is going to be spent on. 0:00:53.760 --> 0:00:56.620 You and your kids instead of dropping bombs on somebody 0:00:56.680 --> 0:00:57.440 else and their kids. 0:00:59.640 --> 0:01:05.190 Shouldn't be this hard. OK, I don't know. It was that. 0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:09.670 Him referencing that ad, they got so much attention. I mean, 0:01:09.709 --> 0:01:13.990 in that ad, they specifically talk about dropping bombs on 0:01:14.030 --> 0:01:17.069 other countries is why things are so expensive, and that was. 0:01:17.890 --> 0:01:21.940 Well, yeah, that ad paraphrased his campaign, which is why, 0:01:22.250 --> 0:01:25.110 I mean, he made like a weak disavowal of it, 0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:26.169 but no, why would he? 0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:27.020 That's his campaign. 0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:29.360 Wow, that's the one thing I'm staying up for tonight 0:01:29.420 --> 0:01:31.840 is to watch his acceptance speech if he wins. 0:01:32.790 --> 0:01:36.149 Speaking of Al-Sayed, this is brand new. 0:01:36.350 --> 0:01:38.600 John Fetterman, 45. 0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:43.160 I mean, he's absolutely pro-Iran and Hamas. I mean, he 0:01:43.220 --> 0:01:47.110 even said he wants to define the police. And he's 0:01:47.190 --> 0:01:51.630 in a spiritual union with Hassan Piker, who really thinks 0:01:51.670 --> 0:01:56.710 that we deserve 9-11. I mean, so overall, I don't 0:01:56.750 --> 0:02:00.080 get along with communists and socialists and people that hate 0:02:00.140 --> 0:02:05.120 America or people that pick on women, you know, like El-Sayed. 0:02:06.300 --> 0:02:10.720 They're going to be caucusing together if El-Sayed wins. And 0:02:10.940 --> 0:02:13.959 have there ever been in either party in my lifetime? 0:02:13.980 --> 0:02:18.120 A couple of people who would hate each other as 0:02:18.180 --> 0:02:23.000 much as those two were outside of like a personal grudge. Uh, 0:02:23.220 --> 0:02:25.799 I can't think of maybe back in the day when 0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:29.700 you had the, um, hardcore racists that were still in 0:02:29.740 --> 0:02:32.040 the Senate that didn't want black people to get to 0:02:32.060 --> 0:02:33.760 vote or anything like that. That might be the only 0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:36.160 other as far back as you'd have to go to 0:02:36.180 --> 0:02:37.279 where you got that sort of thing. 0:02:37.820 --> 0:02:38.060 Yeah. 0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:41.590 Fetterman is going to be a, uh, a very, very 0:02:41.690 --> 0:02:45.230 welcome thorn in El Sayed side. If indeed El Sayed 0:02:45.270 --> 0:02:49.829 wins tonight. Um, An outcome I despise even thinking about. 0:02:50.050 --> 0:02:53.269 Here's the latest from somebody who knows what the private 0:02:53.330 --> 0:02:58.750 polling is. Mark Halperin on his show today. The private 0:02:58.790 --> 0:03:02.250 polling is within the margin of error in almost every 0:03:02.330 --> 0:03:06.590 single one of these Senate races everybody's talking about. 0:03:07.290 --> 0:03:08.590 Other than North Carolina. 0:03:09.090 --> 0:03:11.030 So if you think that a single Senate race that's 0:03:11.070 --> 0:03:13.200 currently red is going to flip blue and is a 0:03:13.300 --> 0:03:15.859 sure thing, I would tell you you're wrong. I wouldn't 0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:17.640 say there's a single one that would surprise me if 0:03:17.700 --> 0:03:20.370 it stayed red. Not one, not Ohio, not Kansas, not Texas, 0:03:20.410 --> 0:03:23.250 not Iowa, not Alaska. He didn't mention Michigan. Of course, 0:03:23.270 --> 0:03:25.570 Michigan's already blue. It's the same blue. So that would 0:03:25.590 --> 0:03:28.460 be that. Not one of them would surprise me. In 0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:31.460 the private polling, they've closed up. And what Republicans are 0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:33.460 counting on is that the voters in those states today 0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:36.320 will overcome in some states an early vote deficit and 0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:38.700 Republicans turn out. So when it's this close within the 0:03:38.740 --> 0:03:40.700 margin of error, it could all go one way and 0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:42.300 it could all go the other way and have, you know, 0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:44.320 major difference either way. 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:46.200 Or half and half. 0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:46.700 Or half and half. 0:03:47.220 --> 0:03:48.860 It doesn't tend to go that way a lot. It 0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:49.480 doesn't seem like. 0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:56.339 With all these close Trump elections. And I've never quite 0:03:56.380 --> 0:03:59.050 understood how this happens, but it's amazing how often a 0:03:59.090 --> 0:04:01.780 whole bunch of different states, counties, districts, whatever, break the 0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:02.440 same direction. 0:04:03.340 --> 0:04:06.680 Like there's a national mood going on. Yeah, yeah. 0:04:06.740 --> 0:04:09.100 Well, throw the bums out. It's definitely the national mood, 0:04:09.150 --> 0:04:10.950 but they're all bums, which leaves you in a bit 0:04:10.970 --> 0:04:15.890 of a spot. Although certainly I prefer free market bums 0:04:15.930 --> 0:04:19.210 to communist bums. You know, an interesting point about all 0:04:19.230 --> 0:04:21.770 this is that the number one issue for a lot 0:04:21.810 --> 0:04:26.150 of people is affordability, inflation. Again, as we pointed out 0:04:26.210 --> 0:04:29.360 last hour, and I've got this somewhere, but corruption, government 0:04:29.390 --> 0:04:33.540 corruption was the number one issue in a recent Fox poll. 0:04:34.310 --> 0:04:36.610 Which I found really, really interesting. 0:04:36.830 --> 0:04:41.060 And were those people polled by Fox thinking about the 0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:42.580 Trump family or the Biden family? 0:04:43.460 --> 0:04:46.020 Or all of the above. Or maybe both. I think 0:04:46.060 --> 0:04:46.680 it should be both. 0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:50.840 And the issue of Congress profiting from stock deals has 0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:51.960 gotten a fair amount of attention. 0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:55.140 Yeah, of course it should be both. But what's interesting, 0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:56.960 as Greg Hitt points out, is. 0:04:56.920 --> 0:05:01.380 That anybody hoping for a fix for quote-unquote affordability is 0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:02.450 going to be disappointed. 0:05:03.150 --> 0:05:08.370 Because the factors that... Folks, you're about to be more 0:05:08.410 --> 0:05:09.409 disappointed than anybody. 0:05:09.970 --> 0:05:12.089 That's our job. That's what we come into work for 0:05:12.150 --> 0:05:15.060 every single day. What can we do to disappoint people today? 0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:19.000 Joy crushing. That's how I see my job. I see joy. 0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:20.000 I want to crush it. 0:05:20.180 --> 0:05:24.159 Joy crushing. Nothing makes me angrier than somebody who's joyful. 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:26.180 Oh, please. It's got to be a way to bring 0:05:26.220 --> 0:05:27.610 them down. Yeah, yeah. 0:05:27.990 --> 0:05:28.310 But so. 0:05:29.050 --> 0:05:32.230 What's affecting affordability or what's continuing to stoke inflation a 0:05:32.270 --> 0:05:37.640 little bit? It's mostly the tariffs, which is not helping, 0:05:38.260 --> 0:05:41.620 the war against Iran, necessary or not, that sent energy 0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:43.440 prices higher, and. 0:05:45.210 --> 0:05:47.230 A couple of other things. But it was all done 0:05:47.250 --> 0:05:48.330 by the executive branch. 0:05:48.410 --> 0:05:51.930 Congress didn't vote on any of it, and their avenues 0:05:52.010 --> 0:05:57.360 for overturning it are very, very few. And Greg actually 0:05:57.400 --> 0:06:02.800 goes into the history of Congress's ability to rein in conflicts, 0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:04.700 if you don't want to call it war. 0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:07.000 But it's almost hilarious. 0:06:07.510 --> 0:06:11.330 It's inability to halt the Vietnam War led Congress in 0:06:11.330 --> 0:06:16.390 1973 to pass the famous War Powers Resolution, requiring that 0:06:16.430 --> 0:06:19.400 within 60 to 90 days of committing forces to military action, 0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:24.050 the president either withdraw or obtain congressional authorization. Well, presidents 0:06:24.070 --> 0:06:27.500 have since responded with various claims of complying without an 0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:31.740 actual halt to hostilities. Reagan sent Marines to Lebanon in 0:06:31.740 --> 0:06:36.380 82 through 84, Navy to escort tankers in the Persian Gulf, 87, 88. 0:06:36.380 --> 0:06:39.640 Bill Clinton intervened in Kosovo, Barack Obama in Libya, Iraq 0:06:39.700 --> 0:06:44.550 and Syria, Joe Biden in Iraq and Syria, Trump in Iran. 0:06:44.790 --> 0:06:47.010 Then he said, well, no, because there's that ceasefire. So 0:06:47.089 --> 0:06:50.950 it reset the clock again. And Congress is reduced to 0:06:50.990 --> 0:06:53.330 just sputtering and stamping. 0:06:52.770 --> 0:06:55.530 Their little feet. There's no or else in that thing. 0:06:55.870 --> 0:06:56.270 Or will. 0:06:56.370 --> 0:06:56.570 Right. 0:06:57.310 --> 0:06:57.730 Exactly. 0:06:58.470 --> 0:07:00.469 And the tariff thing, Trump has kind of gone way 0:07:00.510 --> 0:07:03.270 out on a limb on his own. And so here's 0:07:03.290 --> 0:07:10.920 where I crush your hope. So what's left? Redistribution of wealth. 0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:16.620 writing you checks, making you promises, subsidizing things, but because 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:21.110 other than millionaires and billionaires, which wouldn't cover a tenth 0:07:21.150 --> 0:07:25.350 of the tab, they're unwilling to raise taxes, it's all going. 0:07:25.230 --> 0:07:31.450 To be borrowed from the kids and grandkids. We had 0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:32.760 a good run. 0:07:32.780 --> 0:07:35.100 We're going to talk to Lon He Chen coming up 0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:35.740 here in about. 0:07:36.060 --> 0:07:38.230 I'm going to ask him about monarchy. Monarchy now. 15, 0:07:38.230 --> 0:07:38.740 20 minutes about. 0:07:40.640 --> 0:07:46.390 what starts tonight, which is the presidential race, which is insane, 0:07:46.450 --> 0:07:49.410 but it's true. If it's true, it's true, and it's true. 0:07:51.410 --> 0:07:54.190 But at least you've got the comfort of your loyal dog, 0:07:54.270 --> 0:07:58.460 he says by way of transition.

I was thinking about my 0:08:59.390 --> 0:09:02.160 hair or lack of it. My oldest is convinced that 0:09:02.200 --> 0:09:05.940 he has my hair genetically and that he will be 0:09:06.260 --> 0:09:09.380 a bald man before he knows it. And he's trying 0:09:09.420 --> 0:09:13.020 to prepare himself emotionally for that result. Trying to convince 0:09:13.059 --> 0:09:15.080 him that my life has not been that horrific because 0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:17.900 of my hair situation. I'm not sure it's held me 0:09:17.920 --> 0:09:21.439 back in any way whatsoever, actually. He's pretty worried about it. 0:09:22.250 --> 0:09:25.250 My dad was bald. Both of my grandfathers were bald. 0:09:25.290 --> 0:09:27.810 And I just assumed my entire life I would be balding. 0:09:27.870 --> 0:09:31.460 And it kind of accepted it emotionally and then haven't. 0:09:31.580 --> 0:09:33.120 So clearly I was adopted. 0:09:34.179 --> 0:09:36.160 Parents should have shopped another couple of minutes at the 0:09:36.220 --> 0:09:37.579 orphanage before they picked me. 0:09:37.580 --> 0:09:41.760 But what are you going to do? Buyer beware. Shopped 0:09:41.860 --> 0:09:48.010 at the orphanage. Anyway. You have thoughts on the balding conversation? 0:09:48.230 --> 0:09:48.590 I do. 0:09:48.650 --> 0:09:50.949 Let your son know that bald is in right now. 0:09:51.890 --> 0:09:56.580 With the ladies. Well, like I said, I don't feel 0:09:56.600 --> 0:09:59.429 like it's held me back in any way. And yeah, it. 0:10:01.540 --> 0:10:03.040 Since what? The mid-90s? 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:06.199 Does Michael Jordan get the credit for being the first 0:10:06.220 --> 0:10:08.920 person to shave their head and really make it mainstream? 0:10:08.960 --> 0:10:11.920 But anyway, after it went mainstream to shave your head 0:10:11.940 --> 0:10:13.679 if you don't have much hair, it doesn't matter anymore. 0:10:13.820 --> 0:10:17.020 And being behaired isn't a drawback either. 0:10:17.920 --> 0:10:18.089 No. 0:10:18.540 --> 0:10:19.410 You can't lose. 0:10:19.710 --> 0:10:19.810 No. 0:10:20.490 --> 0:10:22.790 Yeah, I don't think it's that big a deal. I mean, 0:10:22.830 --> 0:10:25.310 if you want to have options, I do tell my 0:10:25.330 --> 0:10:28.030 kids that. Like, my youngest has got serious rock and 0:10:28.050 --> 0:10:30.400 roll hair and just fantastic hair. 0:10:30.580 --> 0:10:34.280 And where's the bustling? So he's got options. I've never 0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:34.940 had options. 0:10:35.740 --> 0:10:35.920 Yeah. 0:10:36.220 --> 0:10:36.959 My option is this. 0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:37.320 Egg. 0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:38.280 Egg is my option. 0:10:40.140 --> 0:10:43.500 And you can't afford eggs because we're bombing the Palestinians 0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:44.939 thanks to the Jews. 0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:46.920 That's what I hear. 0:10:46.940 --> 0:10:47.010 Wow. 0:10:49.920 --> 0:10:54.810 Um, Where do you go from there? 0:10:55.030 --> 0:10:58.270 They say that the baldness comes from your mom's side. 0:10:58.370 --> 0:11:00.230 I mean, that's the old saw, right? 0:11:00.490 --> 0:11:03.690 Yeah. Get a new saw. Go down to the Home Depot. 0:11:03.710 --> 0:11:07.770 But all the men in my family look exactly the same. Me, 0:11:07.850 --> 0:11:11.189 my brother, my dad, his dad, his brothers all look 0:11:11.250 --> 0:11:15.120 exactly the same. Same hair exactly. So you can say 0:11:15.150 --> 0:11:17.140 it came from mom, but I don't know. There's three 0:11:17.179 --> 0:11:19.120 generations there and all going through the man. 0:11:19.420 --> 0:11:21.680 So if your mom's bald, you'll be bald? That's what 0:11:21.700 --> 0:11:24.690 they claim. It's all bull crap. I think it is 0:11:24.730 --> 0:11:27.230 bull crap. Nobody's sure. Nobody knows. 0:11:27.470 --> 0:11:28.150 She's an egg. 0:11:28.610 --> 0:11:30.679 I remember. Bald as an egg. 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:34.040 We will talk to Lon He Chen coming up in 0:11:34.059 --> 0:11:36.920 a little bit about where things are. He's actually one 0:11:36.940 --> 0:11:38.860 of the smartest political pundits out there. He worked on 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:42.020 Rubio's campaign back in the day when Rubio was running 0:11:42.070 --> 0:11:45.150 against Trump in 2016. So he probably has a soft 0:11:45.170 --> 0:11:47.550 spot for Rubio. I definitely have a soft spot for 0:11:47.590 --> 0:11:50.589 Rubio running for president. I hate the fact that he 0:11:50.630 --> 0:11:51.990 says he won't run if J.D. 0:11:52.030 --> 0:11:52.270 Does. 0:11:52.970 --> 0:11:54.809 Why'd he do that? I'd have to ask Lonnie that. 0:11:54.830 --> 0:11:56.630 Do you know? Have you had personal conversations? 0:11:56.650 --> 0:11:57.250 I have. 0:11:57.390 --> 0:11:59.490 Yeah, I do. I absolutely have an idea. 0:11:59.510 --> 0:12:02.170 I was going to ask Lonnie if he knows, because 0:12:02.190 --> 0:12:05.430 he might actually have corresponded, and then he would tell us, 0:12:05.870 --> 0:12:08.790 sharing their intimate conversations, of course, on the radio show. 0:12:09.030 --> 0:12:12.439 If he doesn't know, I will tell him, because I've 0:12:12.460 --> 0:12:14.480 figured it out. How handy. So lots on the way. 0:12:14.500 --> 0:12:17.680 Stay here. Armstrong and Getty. 0:12:20.390 --> 0:12:23.719 The New York City Marathon on Sunday, more than 60,000 runners, 0:12:23.770 --> 0:12:27.959 and among them, 90-year-old Marty Granoff, who says absolutely everyone 0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:29.340 told him he's nuts. 0:12:29.940 --> 0:12:30.520 But you know what? 0:12:30.580 --> 0:12:33.320 He ran it along with his son and grandson, crossing 0:12:33.340 --> 0:12:34.219 the finish line in. 0:12:34.220 --> 0:12:35.740 Eight hours, 26 minutes. 0:12:35.780 --> 0:12:38.490 He says age has nothing to do with it. 0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:41.830 It has something to do with it, old man, but 0:12:42.130 --> 0:12:48.020 well done. 90 years old to get Through 26 miles, 0:12:48.070 --> 0:12:50.610 whether you walked, crawled, or jogged is amazing. 0:12:51.110 --> 0:12:52.530 Yes, it's astonishing. 0:12:52.590 --> 0:12:54.570 I walk a couple of miles a day, and if 0:12:54.650 --> 0:12:56.830 I go like an extra mile, I'm tarred. 0:12:58.190 --> 0:13:02.130 I've been running every other day following my close chat 0:13:02.170 --> 0:13:05.410 GBT regimen for my 10K I'm going to run next year. 0:13:05.950 --> 0:13:06.410 Good man. 0:13:06.730 --> 0:13:07.030 Excellent. 0:13:07.050 --> 0:13:09.720 Glad to hear it. Maybe when I'm 90, I'll try 0:13:09.740 --> 0:13:13.020 to run a marathon. It's important to have plans. There 0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:16.359 you go. Put it on the calendar. Probably want an alert. 0:13:16.920 --> 0:13:20.360 Like an alarm? Because it'd be easier to forget. Jeez, 0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:20.960 that's right. 0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:23.460 The alarm goes off. I guess I'm supposed to run 0:13:23.500 --> 0:13:26.320 a marathon. I haven't exercised in 30 years. 0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:28.520 Shoot. 0:13:29.090 --> 0:13:31.290 I should have set the alarm 10 minutes before the event. 0:13:32.550 --> 0:13:37.589 So when can we expect any results? Well, not for 0:13:37.610 --> 0:13:40.570 a while. I'm looking at the map of when you 0:13:40.610 --> 0:13:41.470 get election results. 0:13:41.910 --> 0:13:44.370 And it's so stupid. 0:13:45.340 --> 0:13:49.290 There are, it looks to be, a quick count, 10 0:13:49.290 --> 0:13:52.030 states that will have their results on election night. 0:13:52.090 --> 0:13:53.730 There are 50 states, Joe. 0:13:54.770 --> 0:13:57.690 There are 10 or so that will have their results 0:13:58.010 --> 0:14:03.400 on election night. Oddly, they're all in the eastern half, geographically. 0:14:03.460 --> 0:14:05.860 The country, more or less, Oklahoma, kind of pokes over 0:14:05.920 --> 0:14:07.660 onto the western half, but I don't. 0:14:07.559 --> 0:14:08.260 Know why that is. 0:14:08.660 --> 0:14:11.020 And then you've got states that will have the results 0:14:11.059 --> 0:14:14.679 before noon tomorrow, and they are all in the eastern 0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:19.040 two-thirds of the country. But practically the entire western United States, 0:14:20.180 --> 0:14:24.620 with the exception of Wyoming and New Mexico, they all 0:14:24.660 --> 0:14:25.850 make you wait days and days. 0:14:26.120 --> 0:14:29.310 Okay, well, the two that I'm really most interested in, 0:14:30.570 --> 0:14:32.950 Michigan by far number one, then Texas. 0:14:33.230 --> 0:14:34.670 When does Michigan close their polls? 0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:38.870 Well, I could get into when they close them, but 0:14:38.910 --> 0:14:41.210 what's more important is when you get results, and they're 0:14:41.230 --> 0:14:43.010 both by noon tomorrow. 0:14:43.050 --> 0:14:43.270 What? 0:14:43.470 --> 0:14:47.570 So we might not know if Syed won tonight? That's correct, yeah. 0:14:47.630 --> 0:14:50.270 Unless they do exit polling and projections and stuff like that. 0:14:50.370 --> 0:14:52.630 I don't know how they release results in Michigan, whether 0:14:52.650 --> 0:14:53.250 it's district by district. 0:14:53.270 --> 0:14:56.690 Man, if we're going to find out tomorrow, then all 0:14:56.730 --> 0:15:02.190 the news coverage today is really stupid. Acting like something 0:15:02.250 --> 0:15:02.750 is happening. 0:15:02.970 --> 0:15:06.540 It's not even happening today, let alone... Not even happening tonight, 0:15:06.620 --> 0:15:09.570 let alone now. Yeah. 0:15:09.610 --> 0:15:12.110 Like they've got the clock down in the corner on CNN, 0:15:12.470 --> 0:15:16.050 four hours and 35 minutes until coverage begins. 0:15:16.210 --> 0:15:17.150 Coverage of what? 0:15:18.590 --> 0:15:21.390 Showing pictures of people in line and discussing the same 0:15:21.430 --> 0:15:22.850 thing you've discussed for two months? 0:15:23.350 --> 0:15:23.610 Yes. 0:15:24.350 --> 0:15:25.820 So this is inexplicable to me. 0:15:26.700 --> 0:15:30.760 In South Cackalack, 96% of the votes will be counted 0:15:30.800 --> 0:15:31.380 by midnight. 0:15:32.260 --> 0:15:34.980 At least that's what happened in 2024. 96%. 0:15:34.980 --> 0:15:40.780 In Michigan, it's 46%. Now, they'll both have her done 0:15:40.820 --> 0:15:43.060 by tomorrow at noon, so that's great. 0:15:44.300 --> 0:15:48.490 Here's a question about South Carolina. Do you think in 0:15:48.500 --> 0:15:51.650 her heart of hearts, Lindsey Graham's sister wants to win 0:15:51.710 --> 0:15:53.850 or lose? I'll bet she wants to lose. 0:15:54.370 --> 0:15:57.770 I think she's extremely ambivalent about it. I'll bet she 0:15:57.810 --> 0:16:00.710 goes back and forth wondering how the hell this ever happened. 0:16:00.770 --> 0:16:04.600 If she got to choose, she might choose winning. But 0:16:05.420 --> 0:16:08.590 if she loses, when she gets that word, she is 0:16:08.620 --> 0:16:09.550 going to have relief. 0:16:10.030 --> 0:16:15.170 And not that. What usually happens with politicians, just devastating rejection. 0:16:15.610 --> 0:16:17.170 And what am I going to do with my life now? 0:16:17.250 --> 0:16:20.700 She's not going to have any of that. You are 100% correct, 0:16:20.750 --> 0:16:21.130 I believe. 0:16:21.220 --> 0:16:21.390 Yeah. 0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:24.460 I think if you could probe into her. 0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:28.160 Heart of hearts and put a percentage on it, I 0:16:28.200 --> 0:16:29.090 think she wants to win 51-49. 0:16:29.080 --> 0:16:29.220 Yeah. 0:16:32.390 --> 0:16:39.830 Anyway, so one more interesting bit of timeline stuff. In 2022, 0:16:39.830 --> 0:16:45.010 the House was called eight days after the election. The 0:16:45.110 --> 0:16:50.330 Senate was called four days after the election. In 2024, 0:16:50.330 --> 0:16:54.790 the House was called eight days later. The Senate was 0:16:54.860 --> 0:16:58.480 called at midnight 06 Eastern on election night. 0:17:00.300 --> 0:17:06.530 So, dunno. We'll call it the way we see it. 0:17:10.020 --> 0:17:13.960 I'm keeping my eye on El-Sayed's acceptance speech if he wins. 0:17:15.320 --> 0:17:15.540 Why? 0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:17.560 I want to know if he's going to try to 0:17:17.660 --> 0:17:20.399 moderate it all or if he's going to think, ah, 0:17:20.540 --> 0:17:21.040 here we. 0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:21.620 Go, bitches. 0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:27.230 No, I still, my theory remains no. As a dedicated Islamist, 0:17:27.270 --> 0:17:29.830 he has a very, very long view. Now, you have 0:17:29.890 --> 0:17:33.270 pointed out that he doesn't seem willing or able to 0:17:33.390 --> 0:17:34.750 discipline himself at times. 0:17:35.080 --> 0:17:35.940 He just can't. 0:17:36.440 --> 0:17:40.159 Like that Ross Dutha interview on 60 Minutes. All he 0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:42.540 had to say was, does Israel, does Palestine have a 0:17:42.540 --> 0:17:42.940 right to exist? 0:17:43.030 --> 0:17:43.220 Yes. 0:17:43.609 --> 0:17:45.550 Does Israel have a right to exist? Yes, of course. 0:17:45.890 --> 0:17:46.250 Both do. 0:17:46.690 --> 0:17:47.350 We need a Tuesday. 0:17:47.609 --> 0:17:48.950 But no, he couldn't. 0:17:48.970 --> 0:17:52.070 No, Israel can only exist if they, and if we 0:17:52.170 --> 0:17:55.260 see this, he just, he doesn't have the discipline. But 0:17:56.060 --> 0:17:59.440 if he is reminded by his imam what's at stake, 0:17:59.480 --> 0:18:02.220 he'll clamp down and continue to pretend to be what 0:18:02.260 --> 0:18:03.250 he's been pretending to be. 0:18:04.830 --> 0:18:07.429 One of the best political pundits in America with all 0:18:07.450 --> 0:18:10.750 the knowledge to back up his punditry. Lon Heachin coming 0:18:10.790 --> 0:18:11.010 up next. 0:18:11.930 --> 0:18:13.090 Armstrong and Getty. 0:18:13.109 --> 0:18:16.210 Yeah, I was talking to my daughter who's four years 0:18:16.290 --> 0:18:19.170 old and I said, honey, we're going to start getting 0:18:19.210 --> 0:18:21.460 ready for our toy drive. We try to, you know, 0:18:22.100 --> 0:18:25.020 give some toys to Toys for Tots. We're now in 0:18:25.080 --> 0:18:28.899 November getting ready for Christmas and I'd like you to 0:18:29.119 --> 0:18:31.840 identify maybe a couple toys you'd like to donate here. 0:18:32.060 --> 0:18:34.560 So she brings me two of her brother's toys. 0:18:34.580 --> 0:18:41.780 And I realized that despite my best efforts, ladies and gentlemen, 0:18:41.859 --> 0:18:43.760 I have apparently raised a Democrat. 0:18:45.160 --> 0:18:46.240 Hey, J.D. 0:18:46.270 --> 0:18:49.869 Vance working the room there. He is currently leading in 0:18:49.910 --> 0:18:53.930 the polls. You average all the big polls. Who's going 0:18:53.950 --> 0:18:56.030 to be the nominee for president for Republican? 0:18:56.070 --> 0:18:56.350 J.D. 0:18:56.369 --> 0:18:57.970 Vance is in the lead by quite a bit. On 0:18:57.990 --> 0:19:00.100 the Democratic side, it's Kamala Harris. So it's going to 0:19:00.119 --> 0:19:03.399 be J.D. Vance versus Kamala Harris for 2028 for president, 0:19:03.440 --> 0:19:06.030 except for these early polls are always, always wrong. 0:19:08.260 --> 0:19:12.300 Oh boy, to discuss this and much, much more, Lonnie Chen, 0:19:12.340 --> 0:19:15.190 David and Diane Steffi Fellow in American Public Policy Studies 0:19:15.270 --> 0:19:18.290 at the Hoover Institution. Lonnie's also the Director of Domestic 0:19:18.310 --> 0:19:21.030 Policy Studies at Stanford University, and he joins us now. 0:19:21.070 --> 0:19:21.990 Lonnie, how are you, sir? 0:19:22.830 --> 0:19:24.530 I'm doing well. Great to be with you both on 0:19:24.570 --> 0:19:25.090 Election Day. 0:19:25.250 --> 0:19:27.820 So here's our theory in talking to you, because we're 0:19:27.840 --> 0:19:29.399 going to have you on tomorrow when we'll actually have 0:19:29.440 --> 0:19:31.219 some results to talk about. But since we ain't got 0:19:31.260 --> 0:19:33.440 no results today, thought we thought maybe we'd talk about 0:19:34.300 --> 0:19:37.619 The presidential election, which I'm told kicks off tonight when 0:19:37.660 --> 0:19:38.330 the polls close. 0:19:38.350 --> 0:19:39.630 So let's start with the premise. 0:19:39.910 --> 0:19:42.629 All the pundits out there that say the race for 0:19:42.630 --> 0:19:45.790
