Today is a good day 23 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: and we will take calls, but I want to be 24 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 1: very clear we will take positive calls. Yes there is 25 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 1: work to be done, Yes there are irregularities, Yes there 26 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 1: is whatever still makes you miserable. Gordon Bethune said in 27 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 1: his book Good to Great about how how he turned 28 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: continental airlines around. He said, you have to tell the 29 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 1: people what you're going to do. You have to do it, 30 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: and then you have to tell them what you did. Likewise, 31 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:19,279 Speaker 1: I think that for our mental health and for our movement, 32 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 1: which is bigger than a candidate or an election, for 33 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:28,279 Speaker 1: our movement, we have to celebrate. We have to take 34 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 1: a moment and enjoy this incredible, incredible effort that so 35 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,720 Speaker 1: many million Americans were a part of. Seven one three 36 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: nine nine nine one thousand, seven one three nine nine 37 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,280 Speaker 1: nine one thousand. I think the best description I heard 38 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: of what happened came from Scott Jennings on CNN. He 39 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: has been doing yeomen's work over there as a Republican 40 00:05:55,880 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: on the liberal CNN, and here is how he described. Yes, 41 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,600 Speaker 1: Donald Trump deserves so much credit. He's the head of 42 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 1: the movement. He spearheaded the movement, he gave focus to 43 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 1: the movement. But this is a bottom up, This is 44 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: a bottom up movement, and I listened to what Scott 45 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 1: Jennings said. This is a mandate. 46 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 6: He's won the national popular vote for the first time 47 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 6: since for a Republican for the first time since two 48 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 6: thousand and four. This is a big deal. This isn't 49 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,920 Speaker 6: backing into the office. This is a mandate to do 50 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 6: what you said you were going to do. Get the 51 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:38,279 Speaker 6: economy working again for regular working class Americans. Fix immigration, 52 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,160 Speaker 6: try to get crime under control, try to reduce the 53 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 6: chaos in the world. This is a mandate from the 54 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 6: American people to do that. I think I'm interpreting the 55 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 6: results tonight as the revenge of just the regular, old 56 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 6: working class American, the anonymous American who has been crushed, insulted, 57 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:02,160 Speaker 6: condescended to. They're not garbage, they're not Nazis. They're just 58 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 6: regular people who get up and go to work every 59 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,040 Speaker 6: day and are trying to make a better life for 60 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 6: their kids. And they feel like they have been told 61 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 6: to just shut up when they have complained about the 62 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 6: things that are hurting them in their own lives. I 63 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 6: also feel like this election, as we sit here and 64 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 6: pour over this tonight, is something of an indictment of 65 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 6: the political information complex. I mean, we've been sitting around 66 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 6: here for the last couple of weeks, and the story 67 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 6: that was portrayed was not true. I mean, we were 68 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 6: told Puerto Rico was going to change the election, Liz Cheney, 69 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 6: Nikki Haley, voters, women lying to their husbands. Before that, 70 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 6: it was Tim Walls and the Camo hats, night after 71 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 6: night after night. We were told all these things and 72 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:49,559 Speaker 6: gimmicks were going to somehow push Harris over the line, 73 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 6: and we were just ignoring the fundamentals. Inflation, people feeling 74 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 6: like that they were barely able to tread water at best. 75 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 1: That was the fundamentals of the election, and that is 76 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 1: what we can build upon forever. Donald Trump has been 77 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 1: and will be a great president. But what impressed me 78 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 1: the most about this election, it's not just his grit 79 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 1: and determination, is wherewithal his persistence, his perseverance, his fearlessness, 80 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 1: but that he understood he has built a movement that 81 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 1: will outlast him, which is what great leaders do. This 82 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 1: movement is in every town, every community, every household, every school, 83 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:41,559 Speaker 1: every hospital, every workplace. That that makes me very exciting. 84 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:49,839 Speaker 1: This is a great, great day. They remain scared to 85 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 1: death of you, and they remain scared to death of Trump. 86 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,319 Speaker 1: You're not going anywhere. Even if Trump does, You're not. 87 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 2: The Fox News Decision desk can now officially project that 88 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 2: Donald Trump will become the forty seventh president of the 89 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:32,200 Speaker 2: United States. 90 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 7: That's celebrations body going on right. 91 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:53,559 Speaker 5: Here, a celebration the last throughout the year. 92 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 8: We're going to fix our borders, We're going to fix 93 00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 8: everything about our country. And we made history for a 94 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 8: reason tonight. And the reason is going to be just 95 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 8: that we overcame obstacles that nobody thought possible, and it's 96 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 8: now clear that we've achieved the most incredible political they 97 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 8: Look what happened? 98 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 5: Is this crazy? 99 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:23,079 Speaker 8: We are going to start by all putting America first. 100 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 8: We have to put our country first for at least 101 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 8: a period of time. We have to fix it because 102 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 8: together we can truly make America great again for all Americans. 103 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 8: So I want to just tell you what a great 104 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 8: honor this is. I want to thank you. 105 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 9: I will not let you down. 106 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 8: America's future will be bigger, better, bolder, richer, safer, and 107 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 8: stronger than it has ever been before. 108 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:52,559 Speaker 10: It. 109 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 5: And in addition to having won. 110 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 8: The battleground states of North Carolina, I love these places Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin. 111 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 8: We are now winning in Michigan, Arizona, Nevada, and Alaska, 112 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 8: which would result in us carrying at least three hundred 113 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 8: and fifteen electoral votes. 114 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 3: But that. 115 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,679 Speaker 8: But as much easier doing what the networks did or 116 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:37,200 Speaker 8: whoever called it, because there was no other path. There 117 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 8: was no other path to victory. 118 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:41,440 Speaker 3: We also have. 119 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 7: Won the popular vote. That was great, old battle vote, 120 00:11:55,920 --> 00:12:06,319 Speaker 7: thank you, thank you very much. And now winning the 121 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 7: popular vote was very nice, very nice. 122 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 8: I will tell you. It's at a great feeling of love. 123 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 8: We have a great feeling of love in this very 124 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:20,679 Speaker 8: large room with unbelievable people standing by my side. These 125 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 8: people have been incredible. They've made the journey with me, 126 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 8: and we're going to make you very happy. We're going 127 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 8: to make you very proud. 128 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 3: Of your vote. 129 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 8: I hope that you're going to be looking back someday 130 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 8: and say that was one of the truly important moments 131 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 8: of my life when I voted for this group of people. 132 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:47,560 Speaker 8: Beyond the president, this group of great people America has 133 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 8: given us an unprecedented and powerful mandate. 134 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:12,959 Speaker 1: It's very interesting to see how people process this. We 135 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 1: should to read every email it's some very wise things, 136 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 1: we profound things people have had to say frequent email 137 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 1: or Bobby Rights. Seems pretty simple to me. Americans like peace, prosperity, 138 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 1: we hate crime, and we hate being lied to. Reasonable 139 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 1: to me digging into some of the regional issues across 140 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:49,599 Speaker 1: the country. In Willis, north of Houston, Rick writes, for 141 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 1: the third time, we voted down one hundred and fifteen 142 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 1: million dollar bond for a new stadium, practice facilities, and 143 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,319 Speaker 1: an aquatic center. One hundred and fifteen million dollars for 144 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 1: these items irresponsible at best. It was my third favorite 145 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,559 Speaker 1: win of the night, behind Trump Cruise and then this. 146 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:09,960 Speaker 3: It's a movement. 147 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:15,199 Speaker 1: People are tired of it. The globalists lost last night. 148 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 1: The people won. There's so many different ways you can 149 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 1: slice this. There's so many different ways you can look 150 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 1: at this, and we will in the coming days. Today 151 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 1: is a day of celebration, but I have to tell 152 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 1: you it is a day of profound reflection. I think 153 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 1: of all the people who worked so hard, who will 154 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 1: never get up on stage, who will never get to 155 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 1: give a congratulatory speech, They will never be honored, and 156 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 1: they will just quietly now go back to raising their kids, 157 00:14:53,640 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 1: making pie for their grandson running their business, and how 158 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 1: quickly we will forget that this is their victory and 159 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 1: that they busted.

I 333 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 10: got you. 334 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,439 Speaker 1: Let me get my shoes, let me. 335 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 3: Know what see feel bad? 336 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:55,920 Speaker 5: As I was saying, together, we will fight, fight, fight, 337 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 5: and we will win win win. We're gonna win, win, win. 338 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:05,320 Speaker 8: So I was playing golf with some of my friends 339 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:09,920 Speaker 8: who was on a Sunday morning and very peaceful, very beautiful. 340 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,720 Speaker 5: Whether everything was beautiful, it was a nice place to be. 341 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 8: And all of a sudden we heard shots being fired 342 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:20,840 Speaker 8: in the air and I guess probably four or five 343 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,480 Speaker 8: and it sounded like bullets. But what do I know 344 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,400 Speaker 8: about that? But Secret Service knew immediately of the bullets. 345 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 3: Haven't bullet got. 346 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 10: Got paid the cop boma. 347 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:37,159 Speaker 3: The cap. 348 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 1: Each of the fifty States sends two senators to the 349 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 1: Upper House of Congress. The lower House, of course, is 350 00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 1: the House of Representatives. Someone is referred to as a 351 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 1: congressman they are in the House of Representatives. You refer 352 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 1: to a senator as a congressman, although they are a 353 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 1: member of one half of the two chambers that comprise 354 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 1: the Congress, the legislative branch, which is the law writing branch. 355 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,800 Speaker 1: In the upper House, you serve six year terms. In 356 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:22,640 Speaker 1: the lower House you serve two. So every even numbered 357 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:30,840 Speaker 1: year election, your congressman is up. Every third election, even 358 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:37,400 Speaker 1: numbered year election, your senator is up. Ted Cruz was 359 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,280 Speaker 1: on the ballot this year. That would be a massive 360 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:45,240 Speaker 1: price for the Democrats to take, and they have tried 361 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 1: very hard. They threw Beto O'Rourke at him in twenty eighteen, 362 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:54,720 Speaker 1: Beto spending over eighty million dollars to Ted Cruz's forty 363 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:59,080 Speaker 1: five million. They threw everything they had, and that money 364 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,520 Speaker 1: all comes from calif In New York, they're trying to 365 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 1: buy your Senate seat. It's not about Ted Cruz. It's 366 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:11,080 Speaker 1: you trying to buy your Senate seat with fundraisers and 367 00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 1: donors out of California, primarily trying to California Texas, because 368 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,640 Speaker 1: they've already ruined their own state, so as their people 369 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,360 Speaker 1: and businesses have fled here, they're trying to ruin the 370 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:29,120 Speaker 1: state to which they are fleeing. Now enter Colin all Wrong. Oh, 371 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:34,560 Speaker 1: he's a former ball player. He looks good, he talks well, 372 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:38,800 Speaker 1: he's going to be the guy. We'll keep him hidden away. 373 00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:41,960 Speaker 1: The problem for him was he had to win the 374 00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:46,560 Speaker 1: Democrat primary, and there were progressives that would be running, 375 00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,160 Speaker 1: so he had to get to the left of them 376 00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,400 Speaker 1: before the primary and then try to move back to 377 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:56,640 Speaker 1: the right for the general election, a feat he could 378 00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:04,040 Speaker 1: not handle. All Wrong spent seventy six million dollars. That 379 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,560 Speaker 1: does not include tens of millions of dollars from outside packs. 380 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,200 Speaker 1: He spent almost exactly what Beto spent to get his 381 00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 1: ass beat fifty three forty four, Ted Cruz with six 382 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 1: million votes, Colin all Read with five almost exactly a 383 00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:25,200 Speaker 1: million votes separating the two of them. The Real Clear 384 00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,960 Speaker 1: Politics polling average head Cruise with a four point four 385 00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 1: percent lead. He'd ended up with an eight point six 386 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 1: percent lead. And you know who needs to take a 387 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:41,560 Speaker 1: bow right now, Montgomery County where Ted Cruz won by 388 00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 1: forty seven percentage points. Well done, Montgomery County. Chuck Schumer 389 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,840 Speaker 1: was trying to steal this seat and control of the 390 00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:53,360 Speaker 1: Senate and he failed. 391 00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:59,360 Speaker 9: You know, the media, we're ready to write off Texas 392 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:07,000 Speaker 9: and Chuck Schumer poured in more than one hundred million. 393 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:07,880 Speaker 3: Dollars to our state. 394 00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:16,720 Speaker 9: Well, I want to say thank you, Chuck, and I 395 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,640 Speaker 9: hope we win a few more Senate seats tonight because 396 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:31,200 Speaker 9: you wasted so much money in Texas. They deployed every trick, 397 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:40,440 Speaker 9: every lie, and every Hollywood celebrity they could find. Chuck 398 00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:43,400 Speaker 9: Schumer tried to buy this Senate seat like it was 399 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:48,000 Speaker 9: a piece of Manhattan real estate. But he learned what 400 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:58,360 Speaker 9: we've always known that Texas isn't for sale and Texans 401 00:32:58,480 --> 00:32:59,240 Speaker 9: can't be bought. 402 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:07,320 Speaker 1: As for the results in the Senate, which has been 403 00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:10,160 Speaker 1: a fifty to fifty split, which is why Kamala Harris 404 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:14,200 Speaker 1: has cast more votes as vice president to break more 405 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:20,520 Speaker 1: ties than any vice president in history. Problem with that now, 406 00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,400 Speaker 1: she had a record. She had a record she had 407 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:27,160 Speaker 1: to run from. She couldn't just hide out as vice president. 408 00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:32,680 Speaker 1: She cast the deciding vote that prevented tips from being 409 00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:37,080 Speaker 1: tax free. That came back to bite her. She cast 410 00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:41,920 Speaker 1: a deciding vote on major issues. She had a parliamentary 411 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:46,840 Speaker 1: role that she had to play an official role as 412 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:52,080 Speaker 1: vice president, and that would bite her in the ass. 413 00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:58,920 Speaker 1: Ted Cruz mentioned control of the Senate fifty two Republican 414 00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,840 Speaker 1: senators out of one hundred. Right now, it looks like 415 00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:05,080 Speaker 1: that might be fifty three. I'm willing to say it 416 00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:09,480 Speaker 1: will be because Dave McCormick is leading in Pennsylvania. That 417 00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:13,040 Speaker 1: would give us fifty three senators. Some of the House 418 00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:15,640 Speaker 1: races are still up for grabs. It's going to take 419 00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:18,480 Speaker 1: a while. And this is what's important. People ask me 420 00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 1: all the time, why does Trump go to California? Why's 421 00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,120 Speaker 1: he go to Oregon? Why does he go to the 422 00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:27,080 Speaker 1: House seats that are up for grabs that will determine 423 00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:31,040 Speaker 1: whether we have a Republican majority or not. Are Republican 424 00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:41,560 Speaker 1: seats in Washington State, California, Oregon. The President goes to 425 00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:44,200 Speaker 1: those states because you may not win statewide, but if 426 00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:47,239 Speaker 1: you've got to hold onto your congressional seats in those 427 00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:50,360 Speaker 1: blue states to keep a majority in the House. Just 428 00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:54,480 Speaker 1: like the Democrats, will come here to help a Democrat 429 00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:58,000 Speaker 1: win a seat, even though we are a Republican state. 430 00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,359 Speaker 1: If they can pick up us Sheila Jackson Lee seat 431 00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:04,160 Speaker 1: or Lizzie Fletcher or one of those, that could be 432 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:07,120 Speaker 1: enough to win their race. That's why you can paign 433 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:13,279 Speaker 1: for every vote in every state. Strategically it's important and 434 00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:15,480 Speaker 1: now you see more than ever. Callers, hang with me, 435 00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:17,840 Speaker 1: my apologies, get to you coming up.
