WEBVTT - It's His Job To Be Fat! 0:00:01.920 --> 0:00:06.200 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.240 --> 0:00:10.320 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty. 0:00:10.240 --> 0:00:18.360 Arm Strong and Jetty and now he Armstrong and Yedty. 0:00:24.360 --> 0:00:27.159 I can't help but wonder if the American people have 0:00:27.280 --> 0:00:33.479 given up on democracy simply because of what he's told us, 0:00:33.840 --> 0:00:35.800 what he wants to do, simply because of what the 0:00:35.840 --> 0:00:39.199 Supreme Court decided in terms of immunity. I mean, he 0:00:39.320 --> 0:00:42.159 has said he will he wants to go after his 0:00:42.280 --> 0:00:43.360 political enemies. 0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:45.920 I am your retribution. 0:00:47.080 --> 0:00:53.040 You can't wrap your head around why people might have 0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:57.800 voted for Trump and seta Harris other than people have 0:00:57.840 --> 0:01:01.160 given up on democracy that they want fascism serious. 0:01:01.200 --> 0:01:04.880 That is the Washington Post. In MSNBC's Jonathan T. 0:01:05.200 --> 0:01:09.119 Cape hert, it's the most amazing political story in US history, 0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:11.040 and that is not hyperbole at all. 0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:13.120 A clear winner. 0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:18.440 Donald Trump's comeback, after all, he went through the way 0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:21.800 he's been portrayed rightly and wrongly, and for him to 0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:25.600 win as easily as he did last night, including walking 0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:30.440 away with the popular vote, is a stunning political story 0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:32.160 and books should be written about it. 0:01:32.400 --> 0:01:35.480 They will, and I think we have the sol Award 0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:38.200 winner the idea of the Thomas Soul expressed that there's 0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:41.320 some ideas so idiotic only an intellectual could hold them. 0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:46.560 There is the learned and sophisticated Jonathan cape Heart describing 0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:52.680 world record turnout of people voting in free elections as 0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:57.000 abandoning democracy. I mean, you've got to go to the 0:01:57.040 --> 0:01:59.600 Ivy League to be able to wrap your head around that. 0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:03.920 Really, you don't think it could be inflation. I mean 0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:08.400 the history of horrible inflation is whoever's in power gets 0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:12.000 voted out. As Ian Bremmer tweeted last night, it's been 0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:16.160 a mood worldwide for the last couple of years. Practically 0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:21.680 every single incumbent has lost worldwide in elections. 0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:24.680 It's just that they're abandoning democracy and racism. The two 0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:28.080 of those things, wow or sexism are both are all three. 0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:28.400 It's this. 0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:31.000 You don't think a candidate or who refuses to have 0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:34.640 a press conference, who wants to have taxpayers pay for 0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:38.320 sex changes for prisoners, stop with their logic. 0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:41.040 It's burning me, it's burning. 0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:45.480 It's got to be people were attracted to authoritarianism. That's 0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:47.360 what it's got to be. Are you freaking kidding me? 0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:52.520 Michael, have the laugh ready. Uh, this jack is from 0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:54.560 an old friend of the show and one of my 0:02:54.600 --> 0:03:00.080 oldest friends, Mike's attorneys in Chicago. Tell me if they're 0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:04.400 a better joke than this. All day long, he says, 0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:07.120 the one constant is that Taylor Swift. 0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:07.839 Was wrong about a guy. 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:08.200 Again. 0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:16.760 That's Korey. Are never ever, ever ever gonna reelect you? 0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:17.040 Yeah? 0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:21.720 Whoops, you know, sorry, We hit the really big things, 0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:25.359 which are freaking inflation. I mean, the whole thing could 0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:28.799 be boiled down to inflation and immigration. You let all 0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:31.600 those millions of illegals in, and inflation is what it is. 0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:34.800 The party that did that is gonna win roughly never. 0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:35.880 Yeah. 0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:37.960 But if you want to get into all these different 0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:41.440 kinds of specifics, like Van Jones was talking about yesterday, 0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:44.880 all those celebrities you think that helped you in Michigan, 0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:49.000 Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, all the Beyonces and Bruce Springsteen's and 0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:51.600 all the different people, You really think all the celebrities 0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:53.760 is what makes people feel like No. 0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:59.040 It was turning inward in a weird way, not reaching out, 0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:01.960 especially to working Americans. It was just more of the 0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:04.960 elite congratulating the elite, speaking of which the Jonathan K. 0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:07.600 Part clip is just it's so amazing to me. I 0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:11.800 don't think you can overestimate the importance of the idea 0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:14.840 of the protected and unprotected classes in America for the 0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:16.560 Jonathan k parts of the world. 0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:19.000 If you were to bring up immigration to him. 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:24.599 To him, it is an intellectual conversation, a theoretical kind 0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:30.080 of classroom conversation about race and bigotry and that sort 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:34.000 of thing. There is no reality of rampant illegal immigration 0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:34.680 in Jonathan K. 0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:35.359 Part's world. 0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:35.520 No. 0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:37.400 I don't know if he has any kids or whatever, 0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:39.680 but they're not going to public schools. They're certainly not 0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:41.560 going to schools that are inundated with kids who can't 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:42.120 speak English. 0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:45.320 That's never lived in a town that completely changed its 0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:47.039 character practically overnight. 0:04:47.240 --> 0:04:47.400 Right. 0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:50.560 Yeah, He's never lost his job because wages are so 0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:52.560 depressed because there are so many people flooding across the 0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:55.320 border well into work for practically nothing. He has never 0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:58.360 sat for hours in an emergency room surrounded by recent 0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:01.120 arrivals to the country. God bless them, are trying to 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:04.640 improve the lives of their families. A lot of them. 0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:04.920 Now. 0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:08.000 I'm leaving the Venezuelan rapists and gang members out of that. 0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:12.000 But it's entirely a theoretical. 0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:15.039 Discussion for these people, and when they bring nothing to 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:22.480 working America but condemnation and judgment, when Working America is saying, hey, 0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:25.080 inflation has beat the crap out of me. And by 0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:27.680 the way, my kids' school can't teach the kids anymore. 0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:30.400 And all you hit them with is you're a bigot, 0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:32.880 vote for Kamala or you're a bigot. 0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:34.520 Or a sexist or anything. How do you think that's 0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:37.440 gonna play well? Right? And that's Jonathan. 0:05:37.640 --> 0:05:39.400 That's another one of the reasons that I was not 0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:41.760 happy like I was expecting to be last night, as 0:05:41.800 --> 0:05:44.840 kind of depressed. So Molly Hemingway tweeted out, Donald Trump 0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:48.600 just won the popular vote, and most corporate media outlets 0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:52.080 have only the microscopically tiniest handful of Trump voters on 0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:53.000 air or in print. 0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:55.839 That's one of the things that I thought is going 0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:57.400 to do us is. 0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:03.040 Everywhere I flipped other than Fox, it was entirely people 0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:05.280 who could never imagine voting for Trump. 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:08.000 How do you run a news network. 0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:10.880 You're gonna have ten people on your panel, you should 0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:14.960 have obviously, statistically six of your ten should be people 0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:16.960 who vote for Trump. If you want to have an 0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:19.600 idea of the way America works, but you. 0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:20.560 Don't even have one. 0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:23.560 You don't even have one person that could imagine voting 0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:24.000 for Trump. 0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:25.520 And I'll bet this is even true. 0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:27.760 I'll bet you didn't have one person on your panel 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:30.200 on there on CBS or whatever show it is, who 0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:33.560 even knows somebody who would vote for Trump. They don't 0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:36.360 even have an acquaintance who would ever vote for Trump? 0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:39.960 How are you gonna cover the country when that is 0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:40.440 the case. 0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:43.520 The problem with delusion is you don't know how deluded 0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:43.920 you are. 0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:46.880 I would think that'd be pretty obvious though you'd look around, Wow, 0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:49.680 he just won the popular vote by millions and millions. 0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:52.120 Did anybody here vote for Trump? Any of the camera 0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:54.200 people anybody? Do any of us even. 0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:57.000 Know anybody who would vote for Trump? That seems like 0:06:57.040 --> 0:06:57.760 we're a little. 0:06:57.520 --> 0:06:58.120 Out of touch. 0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:02.719 Well, and I love your mental exercise here, but I'm 0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:05.599 picturing the camera people and the electricians, some of the 0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:08.760 tape editors and all like wanting to raise their hand, 0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:09.920 not doing it. 0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:12.520 Might be yeah, anyway, So. 0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:13.960 We're going to take you through the evening a little 0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:16.240 bit through audio. This might take a little bit, but 0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:18.680 I think it will be enjoyable. Michael, you have the list. 0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:18.880 Oh. 0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:22.960 Audio will begin early in the evening with Abbie Phillip 0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:24.000 on CNN. 0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:27.560 One person, though, who doesn't really want to talk about 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:31.520 winning is the candidate herself, Vice President Kamala Harris is 0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:35.240 almost superstitious about not wanting to have that kind of conversation. 0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:38.400 She has been head down all day today on the 0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:42.600 phone doing phone interviews with radio stations. One person who 0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:45.480 spoke with her recently said she wants to make sure 0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:48.920 every single vote is counted before her mind goes to 0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:49.600 that place. 0:07:50.200 --> 0:07:53.040 She's not even going to talk about winning because she's 0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:54.320 a little superstitious. 0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:59.120 Isn't that a great example of her hard work? Roll 0:07:59.160 --> 0:07:59.920 on this is van Ja. 0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:03.040 We know for sure that there is an authoritarian movement 0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:06.360 in this country. We know it's pulled in some amazing people, 0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:09.760 good people, union workers, veterans, some people here here with us, 0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:13.480 But it's led by somebody who's an authoritarian who does 0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:16.640 not believe in our constitution. That movement is strong. We 0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:18.480 know that it has pulled in the richest man in 0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:20.960 the history of the world. That's a strong movement. Elon 0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:24.480 Musk is pulled in one of the most famous political families, 0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:28.360 Rfk Junior with his whole movement of conspiracy people. There 0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:31.080 is a strong authoritarian movement. The question is is there 0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:32.920 a movement for freedom that can stop it. We're going 0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:33.600 to learn tonight. 0:08:34.360 --> 0:08:37.000 Van Jones is very bright and he is a decent man. 0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:39.160 He's wrong about a lot of things. 0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:42.120 Do you think Elon Musk was into Trump is into 0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:47.440 Trump because of the authoritarian side of him. No, he 0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:51.040 thinks one side believes in free speech, in one side doesn't. 0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:53.360 He's really worried about what the Democrats want to do 0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:54.440 with free speech for one. 0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:59.000 Yeah, and for folks who are really concerned about Trump, 0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:02.040 and I know some folks are, and his his authoritarian 0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:05.880 impulses and excesses, and whether it will be surrounded by 0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:10.520 sycophans and that sort of thing, his overall nuttiness. Yeah, 0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:12.600 that's a good way to summarize it. I will tell 0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:14.640 you this, and I am one hundred percent certain this 0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:17.840 is true. There will arise in both the House and 0:09:17.920 --> 0:09:23.760 the Senate a caucus or a group of representatives, congress people, 0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:26.720 senators who will call themselves whatever blue dogs or the 0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:31.120 let's get going caucus or something like that. The moderate whatevers, 0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:34.640 and they will they will limit Trump's worst impulses, whether 0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:38.600 it's appointments or legislation or whatever. I just I have 0:09:38.640 --> 0:09:43.320 faith in the checks and balances of our system. Roll on, Michael, 0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:46.960 This one is Lyssa Farrogriffin on CNN. 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:48.600 I think that they're nervous. 0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:51.000 I think that they're his behavior in the final stretch 0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:53.600 of it. I think they recognize their closing message was 0:09:53.679 --> 0:09:55.800 nowhere where it needed to be. And some of the 0:09:55.840 --> 0:09:58.400 early projections we're seeing show a momentum that I think 0:09:58.400 --> 0:10:01.480 a lot of Americans are feeling this Trump era maybe 0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:02.160 coming to an end. 0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:02.480 Man. 0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:04.560 That must have been really early in the night, because 0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:08.120 it was apparent quite early, as Trump was getting more 0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:12.640 votes in every county that reported and she was getting 0:10:12.720 --> 0:10:14.800 less in Biden that it was not going to work 0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:15.199 out the way. 0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:18.160 They thought, Oh, let's not get ahead of ourselves. Jack. 0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:21.840 We haven't even featured the inimitable, the precious, the lovely 0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:22.880 Rachel Meadow. 0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:25.280 What's your name? Thank you so much? 0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:32.400 Say hi, I can't wait for you to grow ten 0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:33.120 years more. 0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:40.440 I mean, every candidy has a choice what to do 0:10:40.480 --> 0:10:42.920 with their last day on the campaign trail. I feel 0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:45.280 like actually showing up and doing some work is a 0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:46.880 good example to. 0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:50.800 Set later that same evening, and. 0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:52.520 Let's look at some calls. We've got a lot of 0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:55.679 states closing. NBC News can project at this hour in 0:10:55.720 --> 0:11:00.120 the Michigan presidential race that it is too early to call. 0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:03.360 In the Great State of Texas, NBC News projects that 0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:06.160 there is a winner that Donald Trump has won in 0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:10.440 the Great State of Texas. NBC News can also project 0:11:10.440 --> 0:11:12.720 a winner in the presidential race in North Dakota. 0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:14.160 The winner is Donald Trump. 0:11:14.480 --> 0:11:17.280 NBC News also projects a winner in the presidential race 0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:18.400 in South Dakota. 0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:19.920 The winner is Donald Trump. 0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:24.680 NBC News also suggests also projects a winner in the 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:26.160 Wyoming presidential race. 0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:27.960 The winner is Donald Trump. 0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:31.880 NHL about to fall apart. I don't know why the 0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:33.760 networks do it the way they do it. That's why 0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:36.520 it was so interesting to take in Mark Alprin's newscast 0:11:36.640 --> 0:11:40.560 online in that he can and they can't just say 0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:43.080 out loud what all the behind the scenes numbers are saying. 0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:45.200 I mean, all those people, Rachel Matt, all those people 0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:48.920 on all those news channels, they knew hours before they 0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:52.560 admitted it. That she had no chance of winning. Meanwhile, 0:11:52.559 --> 0:11:53.960 hell is the evening progressed. 0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:57.600 You remember Abby Philip who gave us Camalis superstitious. 0:11:57.640 --> 0:12:01.160 She can't talk about winning yet. Okay, this is just 0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:02.000 a little later on. 0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:05.880 This Groupierre has been here for a little while now, 0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:08.160 and they've been watching the returns as they've been coming in. 0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:11.800 They want some good news tonight. I can feel the 0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:15.520 anxiety in the crowd. These are all people who want 0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:17.680 to have a party, they want to celebrate. There's been 0:12:17.679 --> 0:12:20.400 a DJ playing all night long. But the results are 0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:23.199 coming in and they're coming in slowly. But each time 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:26.120 a race is called for Harris or she's shown in 0:12:26.160 --> 0:12:28.520 the lead in one of these battlegrounds, it is a 0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:32.439 big moment for the folks here at the Kamala Harris headquarters. 0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:34.280 Yeah. 0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:37.679 Later that evening they were struggling to comprehend how this 0:12:37.720 --> 0:12:39.640 could have possibly happened. 0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:41.920 And which is so revealing. 0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:44.880 And the woman that they were there to see wouldn't 0:12:44.880 --> 0:12:47.240 come out and even talk to them, just went home 0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:52.560 so incredibly weak. I actually wrote down what Right's Prebus 0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:56.480 said on ABC. I think about just how uncomfortable it 0:12:56.640 --> 0:12:59.079 was for her to leave all those people hanging who 0:12:59.120 --> 0:13:02.360 stood there for like hours waiting to see her, and 0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:04.800 you lose and you go home, come out there and 0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:06.800 say I appreciate all your hard work or something that 0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:09.120 is so freaking weak to. 0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:12.520 The idea of having no idea how this could have happened. 0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:16.640 Heard one commentator whose act I don't really know, really 0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:19.600 lay it down effectively, and we'll have him coming up 0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:20.440 in a couple of minutes. 0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:23.080 Heny of your thoughts. I need to get to some 0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:27.000 of your texts pretty interesting. What do you think this means? 0:13:27.040 --> 0:13:31.240 Text line four one five kfdcarro. 0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:36.760 It hasn't been completely college yet. We don't exactly know 0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:38.400 what all the results. 0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:38.679 Are going to be. 0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:42.440 Our time is running out. I do want to very 0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:48.960 quickly send a quick message to all the polsters, the 0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:51.880 election polsters call. 0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:55.560 Me, I don't. 0:13:56.920 --> 0:14:00.880 Ever want to from you again. Ever, I don't ever 0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:02.520 want to hear we've. 0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:09.479 Collected to the over connection. You don't know about shuck, 0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:17.319 don't care for you. So we haven't talked about polling yet, 0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:19.560 and we should. We did. 0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:23.720 We had it right yesterday in that the country has 0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:28.360 been misled as to what polling is in a variety 0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:33.200 of ways. The most revealing thing that happened in recent 0:14:33.240 --> 0:14:36.240 polling was that Iowa pull that came out Sunday. They 0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:39.320 got so much attention from the woman considered to be 0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:45.280 the best polster in America, Selzer, who had Kamalo winning 0:14:45.360 --> 0:14:47.920 by eight points I think or three points in Iowa 0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:49.640 and Trump ended up winning easily. 0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:53.440 That is what polling is. 0:14:54.040 --> 0:14:57.240 And as I've seen other polsters say, good on her 0:14:57.480 --> 0:14:59.680 and brave of her to put that out, because that's 0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:02.480 the way polling works. It's all over the place. It's 0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:06.520 a snapshot of a day. It's highly inaccurate. That is 0:15:06.600 --> 0:15:09.680 what polling should be. All of those other polls coming 0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:13.200 out being exactly the same. Were people just trying to 0:15:13.280 --> 0:15:15.320 keep their head down and not get in trouble. 0:15:15.880 --> 0:15:16.840 That's ridiculous. 0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:18.920 A polling can tell you it's going to be warm 0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:22.360 today or cold, and that's about it for what it's worth. 0:15:22.520 --> 0:15:26.920 Trump in Iowa by thirteen points, right. 0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:29.680 But that is whatever the right expression is, exception that 0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:33.000 proves a rule or whatever. All those other poles that 0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:36.120 were within a point every single time in every state, 0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:37.480 those were the lies. 0:15:37.880 --> 0:15:38.800 That was the hurting. 0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:41.320 That was the correcting your poll so that you fit 0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:43.000 in with whatever you want to fit in with it, 0:15:43.160 --> 0:15:45.280 share the guts to go out and just do polling 0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:49.720 best it can be done, which is incredibly inaccurate. That's 0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:53.120 what we all need to learn. Polling is incredibly inaccurate. 0:15:52.640 --> 0:15:54.280 Which polls all of them. 0:15:54.520 --> 0:15:57.880 Okay, so it looks like Trump won the popular vote 0:15:57.880 --> 0:15:59.280 by five million. 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:00.800 Yeah, not even close. 0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:05.119 It is a giant map of redness with blue blotches 0:16:05.160 --> 0:16:05.760 on the edges. 0:16:06.000 --> 0:16:08.080 I should have done this as a tease. I can't 0:16:08.080 --> 0:16:11.840 believe this hadn't occurred to me yet. Not only is 0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:15.880 Trump the most amazing political story in US history, maybe 0:16:15.880 --> 0:16:21.640 in politics history, just in general, the whole crazy election 0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:25.000 with Biden in a seen island steps down, and you know, 0:16:25.040 --> 0:16:27.520 all the different things that happened. There might be one 0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:30.600 more amazing turn yet. And I could actually see this happening. 0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:34.760 Kamala Harris can still become the first female president if 0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:39.000 Biden resigns, and that would be a very Joe Biden 0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:43.120 thing to do to try to be historic or whatever. 0:16:43.480 --> 0:16:47.800 I think that could actually happen. That wouldn't surprise me 0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:48.360 in the least. 0:16:48.920 --> 0:16:54.320 How about you, It's absolutely possible. One of my favorite analysts, 0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:57.600 my wife keeps bringing up. I think Trump is going 0:16:57.680 --> 0:16:59.440 to resign at some point. I don't think he wants 0:16:59.480 --> 0:17:01.400 to do it for years. I think jad Vance is 0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:04.240 going to be president. He's not wrong. 0:17:04.520 --> 0:17:07.960 We did just elect the oldest person we've ever elected. 0:17:08.000 --> 0:17:10.840 He's older than Biden was when we elected him. Trump's 0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:15.159 old af As the kids say, we have a lot 0:17:15.200 --> 0:17:16.880 of it. We have a lot more on the way. 0:17:16.880 --> 0:17:19.280 If you miss an hour, get the podcast Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:19.040 --> 0:17:21.160 On demand Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:23.200 --> 0:17:26.160 So I got up this morning and I watched Mark 0:17:26.200 --> 0:17:28.879 Halprin's podcast that he did this morning, and he said, 0:17:29.200 --> 0:17:32.000 the most hilarious thing happening in America right now is 0:17:32.119 --> 0:17:36.520 MSNBC's coverage as they try to explain why Trump won 0:17:36.680 --> 0:17:40.480 so easily and including the popular vote and how far 0:17:40.560 --> 0:17:46.600 off the mark, they are just like, hilariously wrong. I 0:17:46.720 --> 0:17:49.800 find it depressing. He finds it hilarious. Maybe I'm just 0:17:49.920 --> 0:17:54.000 tired or something. I find it depressing. I think it's 0:17:54.160 --> 0:17:56.000 bad for the country that we have so much of 0:17:56.000 --> 0:18:01.200 our major media so bubbled or crazy or I don't 0:18:01.200 --> 0:18:03.280 even know what it is that they can't grasp the 0:18:03.960 --> 0:18:09.000 easy to grasp reality of inflation and open borders and 0:18:09.720 --> 0:18:12.199 some of the wok crap that's been going on that 0:18:12.240 --> 0:18:16.199 people don't like. It's not difficult, but listen. Listen to 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:20.000 this paragraph that's in the New York Times today. The 0:18:20.080 --> 0:18:24.119 relative stability on domestic and international affairs during the last 0:18:24.160 --> 0:18:27.320 four years is about to be gone, replaced by a 0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:30.760 voladile president who often operates without regard to national president. 0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:36.400 The relative stability on domestic and international affairs of last 0:18:36.440 --> 0:18:42.000 four years is the most instable four years internationally since 0:18:42.040 --> 0:18:45.479 I was a tiny kid in Vietnam who wrote that, 0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:49.840 I don't know that that's a joke or even sarcasm. 0:18:50.040 --> 0:18:55.159 The last four years of stability domestically, Are you kidding me? 0:18:57.560 --> 0:19:00.320 I'm sorry, I'm flappercasted by that. Somebody wrote that with 0:19:00.320 --> 0:19:03.159 a straight face, and then somebody decided to print it 0:19:03.960 --> 0:19:08.679 in the New York Times. That's their takeaway again. So 0:19:09.080 --> 0:19:11.800 I'm I'd like to be able to find it just funny. 0:19:11.840 --> 0:19:19.240 I'm troubled that people are so far off base. Yeah, 0:19:18.720 --> 0:19:21.639 I'm a middle child. I like to bring people together. 0:19:21.800 --> 0:19:25.840 I like to understand people. I don't just want to 0:19:25.880 --> 0:19:28.320 dislike them. I'd like to understand what's going on, and 0:19:28.359 --> 0:19:30.320 the best I can come up with. And I'm reading 0:19:30.359 --> 0:19:34.040 a conversation between some of the Washington Post's columnists who 0:19:34.040 --> 0:19:37.000 are aghast and shocked and trying to make sense of it, 0:19:37.040 --> 0:19:40.400 and they fit absolutely into what we're both talking about here. 0:19:41.400 --> 0:19:45.040 It's got to be because we've agreed that progressives tend 0:19:45.040 --> 0:19:47.359 to view things much more emotionally and doesn't make you 0:19:47.400 --> 0:19:49.440 feel good or make you look like a good person, 0:19:49.440 --> 0:19:52.720 as opposed to will this policy work, what will happen 0:19:52.760 --> 0:19:55.000 if we enact it, how will people react to that? 0:19:55.160 --> 0:19:58.760 What are the practical realities here? And it just must 0:19:58.760 --> 0:20:04.159 be in that emotional mind. If you see something that 0:20:04.760 --> 0:20:08.080 is at odds with what you wanted to see, you 0:20:08.119 --> 0:20:11.480 don't say, wow, I gotta change my calculus here because 0:20:11.520 --> 0:20:14.359 I was wrong about that. You just block it, you 0:20:14.400 --> 0:20:18.560 invented an excuse for it, or or I don't know, 0:20:18.800 --> 0:20:22.199 or you just you engage in denial. To write a 0:20:22.320 --> 0:20:29.000 sentence that unhinged. I mean, that's seriously, seriously kooky. That's 0:20:29.040 --> 0:20:33.639 got to be somebody whose wishes are so completely the 0:20:33.680 --> 0:20:36.520 father of their thoughts that those are the only thoughts 0:20:36.520 --> 0:20:37.160 that get in. 0:20:37.600 --> 0:20:41.520 Yeah, and particularly the the MSNBC crowd, the idea that 0:20:41.560 --> 0:20:44.960 Trump winning, you have to turn on the electorate that 0:20:45.160 --> 0:20:49.800 voted for him as being awful somehow. If Trump had lost, 0:20:50.119 --> 0:20:53.040 I wouldn't turn on the electorate that voted for Harris. 0:20:53.400 --> 0:20:56.320 I would have thought, Yeah, Trump's personality was just too 0:20:56.400 --> 0:20:58.040 much for most people to take. 0:20:58.200 --> 0:21:01.920
