1 00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:02,280 Speaker 1: Welcome. 2 00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:06,080 Speaker 2: It is a fabulous day in America. It's verdict with 3 00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:10,400 Speaker 2: Senator Ted Cruz Ben Ferguson with you, and Senator Donald Trump. 4 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:15,000 Speaker 2: Trump to them all the Democrats, the globalists, the deep state, 5 00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:19,280 Speaker 2: the fake news, the fake polls, even the assassins, and 6 00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:23,200 Speaker 2: now we have a very different day in America. 7 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,040 Speaker 3: It is an extraordinary day in America. 8 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 4: You and I are here at one eleven PM on Wednesday, 9 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:35,560 Speaker 4: right after the election, and last night was simply a 10 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:40,760 Speaker 4: spectacular night. It was an election that defied all the pundits, 11 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:45,559 Speaker 4: that defied all the analysts, and that transforms America and 12 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 4: transforms the world. I'm reminded of nineteen eighty four. It's 13 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 4: morning in America again. It is that again. I believe 14 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 4: God has answered our prayers for our nation, and I 15 00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 4: am so grateful Donald Trump has been re elected president 16 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 4: in what has to be the most remarkable comeback in 17 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 4: political history. I'm also very, very grateful that Republicans have 18 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 4: taken a majority of the Senate and we've got a 19 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,639 Speaker 4: real chance at it being a sizable majority in the Senate. 20 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 4: That included me getting re elected, which didn't suck at all. 21 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 4: And we'll talk about that as well, and it looks 22 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 4: like we've got a real shot at Republicans holding the house. 23 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,039 Speaker 4: That is the one that is not clear and determined 24 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 4: right now, but hopefully we will hold the house as well. 25 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 4: That'll make a big, big difference if we do. It 26 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 4: is an incredible day. 27 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, it really is. And we get to finally talk 28 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 2: about your race. I'll explain that in a moment.

There's just one headline that I do 57 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 2: have to start with because this is just such a 58 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 2: fun one for me. And we can explain why we 59 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 2: haven't actually talked about your race on Verdict, because everywhere 60 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 2: I go people are like, why are you guys not 61 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 2: talking about this race against Alrid And I can explain 62 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 2: it in person. 63 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: I couldn't talk about on the show. 64 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 2: You couldn't either, But let's just put in perspective here, 65 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 2: Republicans were closer to flipping New York than Democrats were 66 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 2: to flipping Texas. Even though the entire Democratic machine came 67 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 2: after you and tried to unseat you. That didn't work. 68 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 2: What was a massive victory for you last night? Almost 69 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 2: a ten point victory, congratulations, a million vote difference between 70 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 2: you and your opponent. So let's just tell people for 71 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 2: a second here why this is something we haven't talked 72 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 2: about here. 73 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 3: Yeah. 74 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 4: Look, we had an incredible victory at my race last night. 75 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 4: You and I were both at the victory party past 76 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 4: three in the morning. It was a remarkable outcome. And 77 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 4: regular listeners of the podcast, you guys have noticed that 78 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,280 Speaker 4: a word I have never once said on this podcast 79 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 4: is all read. I've never mentioned Colin allredd. I've never 80 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 4: talked about my race even once. We have talked about issues. 81 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 4: We talk about issues a lot. We have talked about 82 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 4: the presidential race, we've talked about Senate races, we've talked 83 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 4: about other races, but we have never talked about my race. 84 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 4: And that was because if we had talked about my 85 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 4: race on this podcast, it would have prompted complaints to 86 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 4: the FEC. I don't think they would have succeeded, but 87 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,919 Speaker 4: it would have prompted complaints, and we decided that we 88 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 4: didn't want to unnecessarily give a basis for a complaint, 89 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 4: and so we just didn't talk about the race at all. 90 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 4: I got to say it was mildly schizophrenic, however, because 91 00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 4: I'd go and do any other interview, I'd go on 92 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 4: Fox News, I'd go on talk radio, I'd go do 93 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,359 Speaker 4: something else, I'd go on on a different show, and 94 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 4: I talk about a race all the time because I 95 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 4: was in the middle of the race. 96 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you'd get to go on my show and 97 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,160 Speaker 2: we could talk about it, but not on Verdict. 98 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 4: And I know our listeners found that odd, and it 99 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,160 Speaker 4: was just it was avoiding in any potential legal peril. 100 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 4: We just didn't talk about it. But now that it's over, 101 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:25,039 Speaker 4: the race is done. And wow, what a night we 102 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 4: had last night. As you noted, we won by nearly 103 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 4: ten points, we won by a million votes. I mean, 104 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 4: it was an extraordinary victory. It was a victory across 105 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 4: the board. And one of the one of the amazing, 106 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 4: amazing outcomes was what happened in South Texas and what 107 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 4: happened with Hispanics and and NBC News is reporting that 108 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 4: I won Hispanics statewide by six points. 109 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,559 Speaker 3: That is a big, big deal. 110 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 4: You want to talk about a transformation, and we saw 111 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 4: South Texas counties and a region of the state that 112 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 4: has been bright blue for one hundred years is rapidly, 113 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 4: rapidly turning red. We had major victories throughout South Texas. 114 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 4: To win Hispanic statewide by six points is transformation. And 115 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 4: I believe what we did in South Texas with this election, 116 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 4: and what Donald Trump did in South Texas with this election, 117 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 4: I think is generationally transformative. And in fact, my prediction 118 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 4: is in the next year we will see many, many 119 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 4: elected South Texas Democrats switching parties, leaving their party and 120 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,799 Speaker 4: joining the Republican Party. And I think once it starts, 121 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:49,279 Speaker 4: it's not going to be one or two, It's going 122 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 4: to be an avalanche. I think they're all looking around 123 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 4: and you hear these conversations down in the valley, wait, 124 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 4: are we all Republicans now? 125 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 3: And it is. 126 00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 4: It's a big, big deal for Texas, and it's a 127 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:03,599 Speaker 4: big deal nationally. 128 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:06,159 Speaker 1: It's nationally as well. 129 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 2: And I want to go back to something that happened 130 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 2: and it goes back to what we've talked about here. 131 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 1: Why Donald Trump. 132 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 2: Won last night, why you won last night, came down 133 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 2: to the basic issues, which is, it's the economy stupid, 134 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 2: It is safety. It is about saying yet for our 135 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 2: kids instead of having to say no, whether that's when 136 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 2: you go to the grocery store or if they want 137 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 2: to go outside in front of your house and play. 138 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 2: These are the basic issues. And the elitists in the 139 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 2: media and the Harris campaign refused to stop dictating to 140 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 2: Americans and actually listen to Americans. And you went all 141 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 2: over the state and we listened to voters, and what 142 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 2: their concerns were was, I don't feel like I'm secure. 143 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 2: I don't feel like that we're heading the right direction. 144 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 2: I don't feel like my kids are safe. I don't 145 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 2: feel like my grandparents or my parents are safe. And 146 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 2: I want to live in a society where I can 147 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 2: say yes to my kids at the grocery store, yes 148 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 2: to going to events, yes to having that birthday party, 149 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 2: instead of saying no, no, no, all the way. And 150 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 2: as Fox News described it, they said the most important 151 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 2: issue facing the country with exit poll data was the economy. 152 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 2: Thirty nine percent that was economy. Twenty percent then said 153 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 2: it was immigration, which also deals with fentanyl and deals 154 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 2: with the crime. Here's how they described it. 155 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 5: Ecose voter analysis could tell the story of this night 156 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 5: and tell the story of the election. Just a reminder, 157 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 5: different than exit polls. We ask voters over one hundred 158 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 5: and twenty thousand of them all over the country, all 159 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 5: fifty states, leading up to and on election day, different 160 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 5: from exit polls, and right now I can start to 161 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 5: begin to give you our key findings and takeaways from 162 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,679 Speaker 5: what we ask voters. This is really to give you 163 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 5: an idea of not only how they voted, but why 164 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 5: early in the evening. We can't reveal how they broke 165 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,840 Speaker 5: down to the candidates, but we can reveal how they're feeling. 166 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,840 Speaker 5: We asked about the direction of the country. This number 167 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 5: is key those who feel like the country right now 168 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 5: is moving in the wrong direction seven out of ten 169 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 5: American voters. This is ten points higher than it was 170 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 5: in twenty twenty, just four years ago. If you were 171 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 5: to break this down also new technology, our heat map. 172 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 5: You can see some of those darker areas on the 173 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 5: heat map, especially those sun Belt states. This is where 174 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 5: they don't like how the country is heading or where 175 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,839 Speaker 5: it's heading, and that could be very revealing as we 176 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 5: continue to watch the election results throughout the night. Another 177 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 5: top finding, we know the economy has been key, and 178 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 5: Americans just haven't been feeling good about their finances. We 179 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 5: asked about their famili's financial situation, and look at this. 180 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 5: While thirteen percent say they're getting ahead, six percent holding steady, 181 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 5: thirty one percent of respondents said they feel like they're 182 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 5: falling behind. That's more than three to ten voters also perspective, 183 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 5: that's thirteen points worse than it was just four years 184 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 5: ago when it was at eighteen percent. 185 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 2: You listen to that center and it's the economy, stupid, 186 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 2: That is what mattered. And the Democrats did not listen 187 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 2: to the American people. 188 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 4: Well, it was certainly the economy, but more broadly, it 189 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:21,319 Speaker 4: was also it was the border, it was inflation, it 190 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 4: was safety and crime, and it was chaos. I mean, listen, 191 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 4: the Biden Harris record is a train wreck. Everything they've done. 192 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 4: There's a reason Kamalin ever talked about anything they've done. 193 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,559 Speaker 4: She ran as the change candidate because she sures that 194 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 4: couldn't run on her record. And you know what, the 195 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 4: American people said, to hell with that, we want change. 196 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,440 Speaker 4: As you just played seven and ten Americans said, we 197 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 4: want to change the path we're on. Well, we just did. 198 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 4: And you look at the results of Trump's win the 199 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 4: seven swing states. As we sit here today at now 200 00:10:55,840 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 4: one twenty two pm, Trump has won five of those 201 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:04,679 Speaker 4: seven swing states. He won North Carolina, he flipped Georgia. 202 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 4: Georgia went for Biden. This time it went for Trump. 203 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,440 Speaker 4: He flipped Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania went for Biden. This time it 204 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:14,560 Speaker 4: went for Trump. He flipped Wisconsin. It had previously gone 205 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 4: for Biden. This time it went for Trump. And he 206 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 4: flipped Michigan. Previously it went for Biden, this time it 207 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 4: went for Trump. And right now Trump is leading in Arizona, Nevada, 208 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 4: the other two so they haven't called those states yet, 209 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 4: but there's a very real possibility that Trump will win 210 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 4: seven out of seven swing states, winning everywhere. The current 211 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 4: count is he has two hundred and ninety one electoral votes, 212 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 4: He only needs two seventy to win. Kamala Harris has 213 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 4: two hundred and twenty three. And I'll tell you every 214 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 4: bit is astonishing and powerful and transformational. Is Trump won 215 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 4: the popular vote as of the current count by nearly 216 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,680 Speaker 4: five million votes. The current the current count according to 217 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 4: CNN is seventy one million, eight hundred and eighty three, 218 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,440 Speaker 4: seven hundred and ninety five votes for Trump and sixty 219 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 4: seven million, six eight hundred and sixty four votes for Kamala. 220 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,679 Speaker 4: That is fifty point nine percent compared to forty seven 221 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 4: point four percent. That is historic, a big, big transformation 222 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 4: and and and it is. It is changing America. The 223 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 4: stock market is exploding, going crazy. Bitcoin is soaring like 224 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 4: people are jubilant, and it is changing the world. 225 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 2: And the reason why they're jubei one is because they 226 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 2: understand now what's coming back. No one is in Uncertainty 227 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 2: is what causes markets to have instability. 228 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 4: Everyone not just and also crazy ass socialists destroying your 229 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 4: company's taxing you out of existence, putting in crushing regulations 230 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 4: that destroy your ability to make a profit. 231 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 3: All of that hurts too. 232 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:54,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, but you look at where we are. 233 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 2: I don't know if we've ever had this moment before 234 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 2: where it is so crystal clear the agenda of Donald 235 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,599 Speaker 2: Trump that is going to be brought to Washington, d C. 236 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 2: There is a clear mandate to drain the swamp. There's 237 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 2: a clear mandate to change the way government works. There's 238 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 2: a clear mandate to work with Congress on securing the border. 239 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 2: There's a clear mandate in the Senate that looks like 240 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,199 Speaker 2: there's gonna be a clear mandate in the House. And 241 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 2: there's a mandate that obviously investors are responding to. There's 242 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 2: also a clear mandate that's coming to the border and 243 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 2: other countries and the Middle East and oil and gas 244 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,559 Speaker 2: and all of these things. And that's the reason why 245 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 2: I think you're seeing these massive games on Wall Street 246 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,599 Speaker 2: is there's just a moment today where Americans took a 247 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 2: deep breath, they went out and they voted, They declared 248 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 2: what they wanted. Damn be the media and their lack 249 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 2: of influence and trying to lie to you, trying to 250 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 2: take out Trump. As we mentioned in the beginning, there 251 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,960 Speaker 2: is a mandate now to go back to what this 252 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 2: country looked like in twenty sixteen when Donald Trump went 253 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 2: in the White House. Except this time it's even more 254 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:56,720 Speaker 2: clear what he's going to. 255 00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 4: Do well, and we're going to see a number of 256 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,080 Speaker 4: big changes early on. The biggest thing that we will 257 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 4: see immediately is the border. And I have said this before, 258 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 4: but I'm going to say it again. We will secure 259 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 4: the border, and it's going to be fast. It's not 260 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 4: going to take a year, and I don't think it's 261 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 4: going to take six months. I think we will do 262 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 4: it in January and February. The reason I say that 263 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 4: is that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris did all this 264 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 4: damage through unilateral executive action, which means Trump can undo 265 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 4: it through unilateral executive action. And the most important determinant 266 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 4: is what happens when you arrest an illegal immigrant, and 267 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 4: if you put them on a plane and you fly 268 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 4: them home, the numbers plummet, and they plummet immediately. And 269 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 4: on January twentieth, that's going to happen. And in fact, 270 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 4: I think we're going to see the numbers. We may 271 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 4: see the numbers fall even before Trump is sworn in, 272 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 4: although there might there might also be a surge in 273 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 4: November and December. I am worried that we'll see a 274 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 4: surge of illegals trying to rush across the border right 275 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 4: before Trump gets here. But as soon as Trump is 276 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 4: in office, we are going to see the border be secured. 277 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 4: You were at our election night party last night, we 278 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 4: had a packed house, we had north of a thousand people, 279 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 4: their incredible energy. In the middle of my victory speech, 280 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 4: the crowd began channing build the wall, Build the wall, 281 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 4: to which I responded, we will. 282 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 3: We are going to do that. 283 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 4: Now, whether Congress goes along is a different question, because 284 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 4: the Democrats are still going to have enough votes in 285 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 4: the Senate to filibuster legislation. And it will be interesting 286 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 4: to see if congressional Democrats have learned anything from this 287 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 4: ass kicking. Let's be clear, that's what this election was, 288 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 4: was an ass kicking across the board. And I'll be 289 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 4: very curious next week I'll be in in DC. I'll 290 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:50,359 Speaker 4: see my colleagues. I'll be very curious if any Democrats 291 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 4: are looking around going maybe being wild eyed leftist communist America, 292 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 4: hating lunatics is not a path to victory. And I 293 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 4: don't know if they'll say that or not. They might 294 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 4: double down and you know, you know, start, you know, 295 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,960 Speaker 4: dig it even harder. I don't know that they do 296 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 4: hate Trump's guts, so they're probably just losing their minds 297 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 4: right now. 298 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 2: Well, they're losing their minds on social media. And by 299 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 2: the way, didn't the Democrats want to get rid of 300 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 2: the filibuster. Can we go back to that just for 301 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 2: a second. 302 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 3: Oh, they absolutely did. Now they all love it. 303 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 4: And now I will say, let's not take for granted 304 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 4: that we know the outcome in the House, and that 305 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 4: right now is the most consequential question that is outstanding. 306 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 4: Ben It is a big, big difference whether Republicans whether 307 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 4: we keep the majority in the House or we lose it. 308 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 4: And the House is still very much in the balance. 309 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 4: It could go either way. Mike Johnson, the Speaker, is 310 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 4: saying that he thinks that will hold on to the House, 311 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 4: that the votes are there, but there's still a bunch 312 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 4: of races that are outstanding. We don't know right now. 313 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 4: And let me tell you why it's such a big deal. 314 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 4: Let's say the Democrats take a majority of the House 315 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 4: by one vote. I don't want that to be the case, 316 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 4: but if that happens, it decreases by a factor of 317 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:11,159 Speaker 4: one hundred what we can accomplish in the next two years. 318 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,119 Speaker 4: And here is why. Because I mentioned securing the border. 319 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:19,360 Speaker 4: Trump can do that unilaterally. We'll also see big national 320 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 4: security victories. I think we will see in the next year. 321 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:23,879 Speaker 4: Both of the wars come to an end. I think 322 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 4: the Ukraine War will come to an end. Russia will 323 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,639 Speaker 4: suffer a loss, There'll be some negotiated outcome that is 324 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 4: a loss for Russia, but it will end. And I 325 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,680 Speaker 4: believe the war in Israel will end as well, and 326 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,879 Speaker 4: Israel will defeat Hamas as a result of that. All 327 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 4: of that Trump can do essentially unilaterally as commander in chief. However, 328 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 4: for legislation to pass, you got to get it through 329 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 4: the House and Senate. And the big kahuna is the 330 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,919 Speaker 4: twenty seventeen tax cuts that are expiring. Most of them 331 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 4: are expiring next year. If we have both the House 332 00:17:57,840 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 4: and Senate, we will be able to take up what 333 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 4: is called budget reconciliation. Budget reconciliation, the most important thing 334 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,639 Speaker 4: about that is it is an avenue around the filibuster. 335 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:11,360 Speaker 4: So it is a way that we can pass budget 336 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 4: and tax and economic legislation without the Democrats being able 337 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,720 Speaker 4: to stop it. And so if we have the House, 338 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 4: we'll do a budget reconciliation. We will extend the tax cuts. 339 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:27,360 Speaker 4: I think we'll make them bigger and bolder. And beyond that, 340 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,880 Speaker 4: I think we will see serious reg reforms. I think 341 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,880 Speaker 4: we will see advances on energy. I think budget reconciliation 342 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:39,159 Speaker 4: opens a lot of legislative victories if we can do it. 343 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:43,440 Speaker 4: If the Democrats have the House, even by one vote, 344 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:48,160 Speaker 4: they'll refuse to do reconciliation, and so it will mean, look, 345 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 4: we'll have to negotiate something on the tax cuts, but 346 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:58,520 Speaker 4: they become the economic policy becomes massively less good. If 347 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,439 Speaker 4: the Democrats have the House. I am hopeful that we 348 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 4: have it, and I hope we actually have a decent 349 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 4: majority in the House, although I think that's probably unlikely. 350 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:06,119 Speaker 3: I think it is. 351 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,440 Speaker 4: If we have a majority, I think it is likely 352 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 4: that it's going to be an excruciatingly small majority in 353 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 4: the House. So that'll be frustrating and have its own challenges, 354 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 4: But it is a binary flip of the switch. If 355 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 4: the Democrats have the House, our ability to legislate grinds 356 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 4: to a halt. 357 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:26,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt about it. 358 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,640 Speaker 2: If you are a conservative and you love winning, well, 359 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,120 Speaker 2: now it's time to really make sure you're giving your 360 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:35,119 Speaker 2: money to comans that stand with your values. 361 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 1: And one bill you have every. 362 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,920 Speaker 2: Month you may not realize just what it's costing you, 363 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 2: and that's your cell phone bill. Because big Mobile gives 364 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 2: big donations and they will not stop to democratic causes 365 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 2: candidates and organizations, including organizations that pay for abortions. This 366 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,439 Speaker 2: is why I want you to switch to Patriot Mobile. 367 00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:00,399 Speaker 2: I've been with Patriot Mobile as a user now for 368 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 2: a long time. I get unbelievable service, a coverage guarantee 369 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,960 Speaker 2: with them, and I get rid of the woke agenda 370 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,640 Speaker 2: of the left. Now here's the best part about being 371 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,439 Speaker 2: with Patriot Mobile. They take about five percent of your 372 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 2: bill every month at no extra cost to you, and 373 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 2: they give it back to conservative causes, candidates and organizations 374 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,959 Speaker 2: that fight for our First and our Second Amendment rights. 375 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 2: They fight for the sanctity of life. They fight and 376 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,440 Speaker 2: stand with our military, our first responders, and our wounded 377 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 2: warrior heroes. The other thing about Patriot Mobile is they 378 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,639 Speaker 2: can save you money. Switching has never been easier with 379 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 2: technology in twenty twenty four because they all every company 380 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,440 Speaker 2: use the same towers, and they've got access to all 381 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 2: three major networks. So make the switch and make a 382 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 2: difference with every phone call you make.

Senator, Let's also just talk about 391 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:28,159 Speaker 2: I think the silent majority was sick and tired of 392 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,679 Speaker 2: being dictated to and yelled at and called hitler and 393 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:32,719 Speaker 2: called garbage. 394 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:34,920 Speaker 1: I think that played into this race. 395 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 2: For the first time a Republican has won the popular 396 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 2: vote in two decades, twenty plus years. If that doesn't 397 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:45,640 Speaker 2: feel like vindication, I don't know what is. But this 398 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 2: was a moment where Americans stood up to the media. 399 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 2: They stood up to the Taylor Swifts and the Beyonces, 400 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 2: the and the George Cloones of the world and all 401 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 2: these radicals in the media and said no, no, no, I'm 402 00:21:58,280 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 2: not going to be quiet. I'm not going to be 403 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 2: told of them a racists or bigot because I stand 404 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 2: up for my traditional values and. 405 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,400 Speaker 1: You're not going to bully me anymore. This is massive. 406 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,399 Speaker 4: I think You're exactly right. It turns out it is 407 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 4: a bad electoral strategy to insult and condescend and treat 408 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,400 Speaker 4: the voters like crap. And that's what the Democrats look 409 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 4: In the last two weeks, you had Kamala Harris launch 410 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:26,399 Speaker 4: their strategy of calling Donald Trump hitler. You then had 411 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 4: Joe Biden calling half of America pieces of garbage, and 412 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,919 Speaker 4: you then had Mark Cuban on behalf of Kamala Harris, 413 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:37,440 Speaker 4: her top surrogate, go out and insult women and say 414 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 4: there are no smart and strong women voting for Donald Trump. 415 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:41,119 Speaker 3: That combination. 416 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 4: Look, I got to tell you, I've run on a 417 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,400 Speaker 4: lot of elections. I've never found that insulting the voters 418 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 4: is a smart electoral strategy. And it was a little 419 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 4: bizarre to see the Democrats go all in on that. 420 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,919 Speaker 1: Yeah, it didn't work and it was a failure. There. 421 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:02,159 Speaker 2: Let's talk about what happened in the Senate, because I 422 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,199 Speaker 2: think this goes back to how important it was with 423 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 2: your race and the fact that you were able to 424 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 2: win by such a large margin over already there was 425 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,200 Speaker 2: an incredible amount of money. We didn't get talk about 426 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 2: this on Verdicts. As we mentioned earlier, but there was 427 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 2: an incredible amount of money and Chuck Schumer, you were 428 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 2: his number one target. They came after you. They basically 429 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 2: kind of pulled away from this race a little bit 430 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:26,919 Speaker 2: financially after you just wiped him during the debate. Congratulations 431 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 2: on that something we didn't get to talk about on 432 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 2: the show. But if people are boring, they're junkies like 433 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 2: I am, and you want to watch one hell of 434 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 2: a debate, go watch Center Cruise and they all read debate. 435 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:39,159 Speaker 2: It was unbelievable and that shifted the race financially. But 436 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 2: the amount of money that came in from outside to 437 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 2: try to turn Texas into a liberal state. But at 438 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:49,440 Speaker 2: the end of the day, Republicans are closer to flipping 439 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:53,639 Speaker 2: New York in Texas, and that is a data point 440 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 2: as well that I think you got to look at. 441 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, no, no, that's exactly right. I will say the debate. 442 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:02,879 Speaker 4: The debate was ridiculous fun. I loved that debate. I 443 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:04,440 Speaker 4: had a lot of fun doing it, and I think 444 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 4: it went well. 445 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,440 Speaker 3: I will look this race. 446 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 4: Chuck Schumer was explicit that I was his number one 447 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:17,199 Speaker 4: target in the country, and they flooded cash into the 448 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:21,440 Speaker 4: state of Texas. This race was the single most expensive 449 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 4: Senate race in the entire country. It will end up 450 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 4: being nearly a quarter billion dollars. Nearly two hundred and 451 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:32,120 Speaker 4: fifty million dollars will have been spent on both sides 452 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 4: in this race. That ain't cheap. Schumer poured well over 453 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 4: one hundred million into the race. And I got to 454 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 4: say one of my more fun things that I enjoyed 455 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,960 Speaker 4: doing last night at the election night speech, as I 456 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,160 Speaker 4: took the opportunity to thank Schumer, I said, thanks, Chuck, 457 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,639 Speaker 4: we may have won a couple more Senate seats tonight 458 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 4: because you wasted so much money in the state of Texas. 459 00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:00,960 Speaker 4: So I appreciate that, and it I gotta say, I 460 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,439 Speaker 4: guarantee you there's some Democrats who are second guessing that, 461 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 4: who are questioning did that make any sense just to 462 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:11,159 Speaker 4: pour the money into Texas and lose the states they lost. 463 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 2: You talk about the Senate agenda moving forward. Obviously the 464 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 2: border is going to be something very quick. But there 465 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,600 Speaker 2: are some new ideas that have come out of this 466 00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 2: Trump campaign that connected with voters. A great example is 467 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 2: Elon Musk and Trump talking about, hey, retired people should 468 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,439 Speaker 2: be completely tax exempt they've already paid their taxes. We 469 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:33,120 Speaker 2: need to stop taxing social Security benefits, some of these 470 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 2: common sense things. What are the chances that some of 471 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 2: these ideas that connected with the American people. No taxes 472 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 2: on tips is another example, will turn into a reality 473 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:46,639 Speaker 2: if we have the House and Senate or is that 474 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:48,680 Speaker 2: still going to be a really tough thing to get done. 475 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:51,159 Speaker 4: Look, if we have the House, I think we'll get 476 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:54,840 Speaker 4: it done. No taxes on tips. I'm the author of 477 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,879 Speaker 4: that legislation in the Senate. When I introduced it, it 478 00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:02,320 Speaker 4: was interesting. It's bipartisan legislation. Both of the Democrat senators 479 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 4: from Nevada joined almost immediately. They told me twenty five 480 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 4: percent of the workers in Nevada are tipped workers, and 481 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:14,159 Speaker 4: so they jumped on immediately. If we have the House, 482 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,200 Speaker 4: I think it will be part of the tax cuts, 483 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,360 Speaker 4: no taxes on tips. I also think we'll get it done. 484 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,160 Speaker 4: No taxes on Social Security. That is a little bit 485 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 4: harder to do because in terms of the budgetary cost 486 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:28,159 Speaker 4: it's not cheap, and so the negotiations back and forth 487 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,120 Speaker 4: that there'll be some bumps on that. But the President 488 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,119 Speaker 4: is pushing for it. I'm strongly in favor of it. 489 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 4: I think we'll get it done as part of the 490 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 4: tax cuts. Both of those are big, big, important policy ideas. 491 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,240 Speaker 4: And listen, in terms of the Senate, let's break down 492 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 4: where we stand on the Senate right now. So we 493 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 4: went into last night with the Democrats having a fifty 494 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:52,200 Speaker 4: one to forty nine majority. As of right now, Republicans 495 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 4: have fifty two. So we have three pickups that are clear. 496 00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:58,119 Speaker 4: One of them is West Virginia. We knew that was 497 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 4: one hundred percent, and so Jim Justice, the governor, is 498 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 4: going to now be the Senator. He's going to replace 499 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 4: Joe Manchin. The Democrats basically conceded West Virginia once Joe 500 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,120 Speaker 4: Manchin wasn't running. There wasn't a Democrat alive who could 501 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:14,439 Speaker 4: win West Virginia. They conceded that. The two others that 502 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:19,120 Speaker 4: we have won are Montana and Ohio. Montana was John Tester. 503 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:22,200 Speaker 4: Montana is a bright red state and Tim Sheeh just 504 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 4: just beat Tester. That's a victory we thought was quite 505 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:31,240 Speaker 4: likely and it happened. Montana is too red a state 506 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 4: to be represented by a Democrat. Ohio, likewise, Sharett Brown 507 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 4: was beaten by Bernie Moreno last night. That's a great victory. 508 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 4: That was a hard fought victory. I'll tell you Shared 509 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:46,239 Speaker 4: Brown and John Tester two the very best politicians in 510 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:50,160 Speaker 4: the country. You don't get elected counter to the way 511 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,960 Speaker 4: your state generally votes unless you're really really talented. And 512 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:58,560 Speaker 4: you know, John Tester with a flat top haircut, Nate Figures, 513 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:00,359 Speaker 4: he seemed like a big old fat mine tan of 514 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 4: rancher that just was a regular guy, and it got 515 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 4: them elected even when Trump was carrying the state and 516 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 4: Republicans were carrying the state in past years. SAME's true 517 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 4: in Ohio where Shared Brown seemed like just a regular 518 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,359 Speaker 4: guy at the Union Hall, and there were voters in 519 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,760 Speaker 4: Ohio that were voting Donald Trump Shared Brown. Now, both 520 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,440 Speaker 4: Brown and Tester vote like communists. They vote like like 521 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:26,840 Speaker 4: like Chuck Schumer, but they're very good character actors, and 522 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:29,639 Speaker 4: when they're back at home they pretended not to. Those 523 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:33,919 Speaker 4: two victories ensure that we have the majority in the Senate. 524 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 4: And then on top of that, right now we have 525 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 4: four other possibilities. We had one hard loss. We did 526 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,120 Speaker 4: not win Wisconsin. We were leading a good chunk of 527 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 4: the night. Eric Hovedy was it was narrowly leading Tammy 528 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 4: Baldwin's Wisconsin's now been called for the Democrats, So assuming 529 00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,440 Speaker 4: those numbers are right, it looks like we did not 530 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 4: win Wisconsin in the Senate, although Trump won Wisconsin and 531 00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 4: the presidential Right now, we have a shot at winning Pennsylvania, Michigan, Nevada, 532 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 4: and Arizona, and all of those are uncalled right now. 533 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 3: And here are the numbers. 534 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 4: Pennsylvania right now, Dave McCormick, the Republican is leading forty 535 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:19,680 Speaker 4: eight point nine percent to forty eight point five. 536 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:22,320 Speaker 3: Percent, so it's really really close. 537 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 4: Michigan, Michigan right now, the Democrat is leading forty eight 538 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:32,360 Speaker 4: point six percent to forty eight point three percent, so 539 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 4: we are down by point three percent both Pennsylvania and Michigan. 540 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 4: Ninety seven percent of the vote is in Nevada, Nevada 541 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:45,560 Speaker 4: right now, the Republican Sam Brown is leading forty seven 542 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:49,720 Speaker 4: point five percent to forty seven percent. That would be 543 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:54,320 Speaker 4: a flip if we won Nevada. Eighty eight percent of 544 00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 4: the vote is in there, and then Arizona, Arizona. Right now, 545 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 4: this is probably the it's the furthest distance we have 546 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:05,920 Speaker 4: to have to climb. The Democrat is leading fifty point 547 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:10,240 Speaker 4: four percent to forty seven point seven percent, So it's 548 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 4: three points that we need to pick. 549 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:13,560 Speaker 3: Up, almost three points. 550 00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 4: Now, only sixty three percent of the vote is in 551 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 4: in Arizona, and it's America Copa County. It's the suburbs 552 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:25,120 Speaker 4: of Phoenix that are still counting. So look, it is 553 00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:29,160 Speaker 4: certainly possible that we win Arizona. Trump is one Arizona, 554 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:31,959 Speaker 4: but three points is a bigger margin to close than 555 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,120 Speaker 4: the other states. And so all four of those we're 556 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:34,880 Speaker 4: going to wait and see. 557 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 2: Let's talk finally about the takeaways from the media, and 558 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,800 Speaker 2: I'll go back to what I said earlier. Donald Trump 559 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:46,520 Speaker 2: trumped them all. He trumped the Democrats, he trumped the globalists, 560 00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:50,120 Speaker 2: he trumped the deep state, he trumped the news media. 561 00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:55,440 Speaker 2: They're still having meltdowns. This morning, the View, the girls 562 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:56,960 Speaker 2: on the View, the ladies in the View came out 563 00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:01,160 Speaker 2: wearing black like it was a funeral, no health crisis. 564 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:05,520 Speaker 2: MSNBC's o'donnelld trash as the Founding Fathers called the Electoral 565 00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:10,400 Speaker 2: College voter suppression. This morning, Joy Reid at MSNBC said, 566 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:16,200 Speaker 2: Ford extreme right wing fascist state now officially Van Jones 567 00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 2: came out and started playing the race card, in the 568 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:22,560 Speaker 2: gender card. John Stewart had a total meltdown on his show, 569 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:27,280 Speaker 2: And this is just what we're seeing in the moments 570 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 2: after a Trump victory. It's like they didn't learn their lesson. 571 00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 2: I mean, you would think they would take away and go, Okay, 572 00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:36,440 Speaker 2: what did we do wrong? 573 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:38,120 Speaker 1: They're not stopping. 574 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:42,000 Speaker 3: You know, look, we'll see what happens. 575 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:44,960 Speaker 4: I think there right now, there's a lot of blaming 576 00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,720 Speaker 4: of Kamala for being a terrible candidate. There's a lot 577 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:53,640 Speaker 4: of blaming of Joe Biden for having been essentially unconscious 578 00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:59,840 Speaker 4: for several years. I don't see the Democrats right now 579 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 4: taking responsibility for gosh, we advocated an agenda that was 580 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:09,560 Speaker 4: horrible for America. You know, there used to be Senate 581 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:14,720 Speaker 4: moderates among the Democrats. I don't know of any Senate 582 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:18,800 Speaker 4: moderates left. The only two arguable ones where Joe Manchin 583 00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:22,920 Speaker 4: and Kirsten Cinema. They're both gone, and so that that dynamic, 584 00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:28,160 Speaker 4: you know, you look at. I would love to see 585 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:32,440 Speaker 4: some Democrats recalibrate and say let's move to the middle. 586 00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:36,480 Speaker 4: But I think right now they're just emoting. They're just 587 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 4: engaged in a combination of rage and shock and disbelief. Look, 588 00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:48,360 Speaker 4: you know you and I talked about Mark Calpron he 589 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:50,160 Speaker 4: used to be the head of political news at ABC, 590 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,880 Speaker 4: did an interview with Tucker Carlson where Halprin said that 591 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:57,960 Speaker 4: he thought there would be real mental health crises and 592 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:02,160 Speaker 4: violence from the left if Trump won. That he was 593 00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:06,600 Speaker 4: laying out the case that those of us not afflicted 594 00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:10,280 Speaker 4: with Trump derangement syndrome do not understand just how much 595 00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:14,800 Speaker 4: of a meltdown this will be. Look, I hope we 596 00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:18,680 Speaker 4: don't go there, but I do think I don't see 597 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:22,760 Speaker 4: many Democrats willing to repent and change their ways. 598 00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:26,280 Speaker 1: No that I couldn't agree with you more. 599 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,400 Speaker 2: I want to ask you another question, also about Elon 600 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:31,760 Speaker 2: Musk in just a second. But first let me tell 601 00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:35,000 Speaker 2: you about my friend's over at Berna. If you want 602 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,880 Speaker 2: to be able to protect yourself and your family, but 603 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,400 Speaker 2: maybe you're at work at a place where you can't 604 00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:43,080 Speaker 2: carry a firearm, or maybe you have a child that's eighteen, 605 00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:46,320 Speaker 2: or a mother or a grandmother doesn't feel comfortable carrying 606 00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,800 Speaker 2: a gun, well you've got to check out BURNA. Now 607 00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:51,880 Speaker 2: I have this, and I'm a gun owner. I had 608 00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:53,880 Speaker 2: to pull the trigger and use a firearm to protect 609 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:57,760 Speaker 2: my life. But I love knowing that a Berna is 610 00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:01,440 Speaker 2: an option now. It is a less lethal pistol launcher. 611 00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:05,000 Speaker 2: Berna can save two lives and it is a great 612 00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,800 Speaker 2: compliment owning a firearm. If you or your family is 613 00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:10,759 Speaker 2: in a situation where you feel threatened, then you can 614 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:14,960 Speaker 2: start with less lethal. It is legal in all fifty states. 615 00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:18,200 Speaker 2: There are no permits or background checks needed. And I 616 00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:20,640 Speaker 2: own this and I got them from my wife, my 617 00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:22,880 Speaker 2: sister in law, my mother in law, my mom, and 618 00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:26,600 Speaker 2: my sister. The Burner is the answer because it's designed 619 00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,960 Speaker 2: to be easily used by all age groups eighteen and older. 620 00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:34,600 Speaker 2: The Burner launcher has powerful deterrence like tear gas and 621 00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:35,800 Speaker 2: kinetic rounds. 622 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,440 Speaker 1: With a sixty foot. 623 00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:42,520 Speaker 2: Range, one shot can incapacitate attackers for up to forty minutes. 624 00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:45,720 Speaker 2: It is used by government agencies and law enforcement around 625 00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:48,200 Speaker 2: the country and more than a half million units have 626 00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:51,239 Speaker 2: been sold with more than fourteen thousand, four and a 627 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:54,680 Speaker 2: half star reviews. So, if you want to know that 628 00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:58,000 Speaker 2: you can always protect yourself, and you want to have options, 629 00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:01,640 Speaker 2: especially for young people eighteen older. Maybe you've got a 630 00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:06,360 Speaker 2: daughter that's living by herself, visit Berna. That's by r 631 00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:11,960 Speaker 2: NA dot com slash verdict.

You've actually met and 636 00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:32,680 Speaker 2: chatted with Elon Musk. There is something different that's happening 637 00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:35,839 Speaker 2: right now, and that's the people around Trump. Uh, there's 638 00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:38,840 Speaker 2: a very good chance that Elon Musk could be involved 639 00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,600 Speaker 2: in the in the Trump administration on a real level. 640 00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:44,319 Speaker 2: We see him bring in people like RFK Junior. We 641 00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:47,319 Speaker 2: see him bringing in different minds that traditional, you know, 642 00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:51,239 Speaker 2: politicians have not done. How significant could it be to 643 00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:54,880 Speaker 2: have a guy like Elon Musk coming in and looking at, like, 644 00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:58,560 Speaker 2: you know, accountability and efficiency with the United States government, 645 00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:01,919 Speaker 2: which is clearly a bloated and this is something he's 646 00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:02,959 Speaker 2: really good at. 647 00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:03,959 Speaker 3: Yeah. 648 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,959 Speaker 4: Look, Elon is extraordinary. I know him well, he's become 649 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:08,640 Speaker 4: a friend. I've spent a lot of time with Elon. 650 00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:13,240 Speaker 4: I'll tell you that they're smart people you encounter in life. 651 00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:17,600 Speaker 4: Elon is next level. I mean, there's just the guy 652 00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:21,000 Speaker 4: is freakin' brilliant, and he knows how to run a company. 653 00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:25,120 Speaker 4: Like you look at the incredible success he has, whether 654 00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:29,560 Speaker 4: it's Tesla, whether it's it's SpaceX, whether it's the Boring Company, 655 00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:35,279 Speaker 4: whether it is X, like he has an ability to run. 656 00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:38,640 Speaker 4: And by the way, the many of those companies are 657 00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:43,560 Speaker 4: like really precise manufacturers. You look at SpaceX where they're 658 00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:47,640 Speaker 4: manufacturing rocket ships with precision with within a like a 659 00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:49,960 Speaker 4: like a tenth of an inch or less. 660 00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:51,080 Speaker 3: I mean it is. 661 00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:53,560 Speaker 4: And I've been down to the like they're factory in Bocachica, 662 00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:56,520 Speaker 4: down down by Brownsville in the southern tip of Texas. 663 00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:57,520 Speaker 3: I mean it is remarkable. 664 00:36:57,520 --> 00:36:59,359 Speaker 4: They're turning out a rocket ship a month and they 665 00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:01,320 Speaker 4: just built it out of nothing. 666 00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:02,080 Speaker 3: I mean it is. 667 00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:08,000 Speaker 4: It's incredible, and Elon is all in. We saw him 668 00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:10,879 Speaker 4: pour himself into this election. At the end, I think 669 00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:12,640 Speaker 4: it made a difference. I think he made a difference 670 00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:15,680 Speaker 4: in Pennsylvania where he really devoted a lot of time 671 00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:19,480 Speaker 4: and energy and money and personal credibility. And I think 672 00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:22,839 Speaker 4: it will be significant his impact on the federal government. Now, 673 00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:28,360 Speaker 4: there are structural impediments to having efficiency in government, and 674 00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:31,839 Speaker 4: so I don't think people should think we're suddenly going 675 00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:35,640 Speaker 4: to be in Nirvana and everything will be solved. Because 676 00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:39,840 Speaker 4: in a company, Elon can walk in and fire anyone 677 00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:41,520 Speaker 4: he wants. And by the way, when he bought Twitter, 678 00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,160 Speaker 4: he fired a whole bunch of the folks there and 679 00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:46,640 Speaker 4: all the woke radicals, he basically said, bye bye, you're 680 00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,719 Speaker 4: out of here. The federal government, that is much much 681 00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:52,680 Speaker 4: harder to do. You've got civil service protections that enables 682 00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:58,000 Speaker 4: career bureaucrats to burrow in. I think we will see 683 00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:01,600 Speaker 4: the Trump administration take on the career bureaucracy in a 684 00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:05,160 Speaker 4: way that has never ever happened before. That's a big deal. 685 00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:07,400 Speaker 4: I expect Elon to play an important role in that. 686 00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:13,520 Speaker 4: But I don't want to understate the legal barriers, the 687 00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:18,239 Speaker 4: bureaucratic barriers, that it is not like just coming into 688 00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:20,240 Speaker 4: a company where you have the ability to give anyone 689 00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:24,640 Speaker 4: a pink slip. The bureaucracy will fight back. And by 690 00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:27,560 Speaker 4: the way, in the first Trump term, we saw the 691 00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:30,600 Speaker 4: deep state wage war on Donald Trump. I very much 692 00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:35,920 Speaker 4: hope the team coming in understands much much better just 693 00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:40,760 Speaker 4: how dangerous the foe is they're facing. Of the radical 694 00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:43,520 Speaker 4: leftists who burrowed into the federal government and that they're 695 00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:45,799 Speaker 4: better prepared and ready to take them on. 696 00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:48,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt about it. 697 00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:50,960 Speaker 2: And by the way, saving free speech by buying X 698 00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:55,600 Speaker 2: just so people know how biased that I would say 699 00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:59,040 Speaker 2: the media is. And I'm talking about the media. You 700 00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:03,919 Speaker 2: have control over Facebook. We were comparing last night many 701 00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:05,959 Speaker 2: conservative influencers and Center. 702 00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:07,160 Speaker 1: You're gonna find this interesting. 703 00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:13,600 Speaker 2: From October ninth through November the fifth, the reach that 704 00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:18,880 Speaker 2: I had on Facebook was down eighty three point six 705 00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:24,160 Speaker 2: percent as a conservative on Facebook in the month leading 706 00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:25,240 Speaker 2: up to election. 707 00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:29,160 Speaker 1: By and there were quite a few other conservatives. 708 00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:32,120 Speaker 2: I was talking earlier with Megan McCain about this, and 709 00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:36,560 Speaker 2: we opened up our analytics, our insights on our public pages, 710 00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:40,120 Speaker 2: and again I'm looking at it right now. Eighty three 711 00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:43,520 Speaker 2: point six percent. That's how much they turned off the 712 00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:49,320 Speaker 2: faucet to free speech of conservative influencers on Facebook, on Meta, 713 00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:53,440 Speaker 2: on Instagram in the last thirty days before the election. 714 00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:57,239 Speaker 2: So the liberals had free flow of intel and information 715 00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:02,320 Speaker 2: and their side and con conservatives were throttled almost eighty 716 00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:05,279 Speaker 2: five percent. I just think that's interesting to see what 717 00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:09,279 Speaker 2: Elon must have to save freedom of speech on x 718 00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:12,319 Speaker 2: He didn't do that there. He let everybody talk. God 719 00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:15,080 Speaker 2: bless America when it comes to that. Your final thoughts 720 00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:17,680 Speaker 2: to all the listeners of Verdict, all those that came 721 00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:19,400 Speaker 2: out and voted for you.
