1 00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:13,720 Speaker 1: Alright, Sweeney, a Democrats had been the state Senate president 2 00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:17,720 Speaker 1: for twelve years. Republican Edgar beat him by roughly twenty 3 00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:20,800 Speaker 1: three hundred votes. Big warning science tonight for Democrats is 4 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:23,400 Speaker 1: the upset in Virginia and tighter than expected results in 5 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:27,000 Speaker 1: New Jersey, but President Biden's agenda and Democratic control of 6 00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:33,559 Speaker 1: Congress in jeopardy. People are upset and uncertain about a 7 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:38,919 Speaker 1: lot of things. When this episode of News World, we're 8 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 1: want to talk about the twenty twenty one elections and 9 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 1: what that means for the future, I would describe it 10 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 1: as we have been here before. In nineteen ninety two, 11 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 1: Bill Clinton got an elected president, claiming to be a 12 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:02,320 Speaker 1: moderate and promptly moved to the left, alienated the country, 13 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 1: and in nineteen ninety four we had a landslide. But 14 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:09,120 Speaker 1: before that, in nineteen ninety three, he'd already sufficiently alienated 15 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: the country that we won the mayors of New York 16 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 1: and Los Angeles, We won the governors of Virginia and 17 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 1: New Jersey, and you could sense the landslide coming. In 18 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,319 Speaker 1: two thousand and eight, Barack Obama one, claiming to be 19 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 1: a moderate, promptly moved to the left, alienated the country. 20 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,400 Speaker 1: And in the two thousand and nine elections, we won 21 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:34,839 Speaker 1: the governorships of New Jersey and Virginia, and we picked 22 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: up a number of other seats, and you could feel 23 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 1: what was coming. The precursor in nineteen ninety three of 24 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 1: Republican victories led to a fifty four seat gain in 25 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: the House and a majority in the Senate, and a 26 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 1: Republican victory across the board at state legislature and at governor, 27 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 1: which we have never actually receded from. We gained a 28 00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 1: majority among state legislators about four thousand out of the 29 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: seven thousand, and we've consistently been dominant ever since. And 30 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 1: the two ten election, with John Bayner waging a campaign 31 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 1: on where are the jobs building on the grid which 32 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 1: the country is mad about the way Obama had moved 33 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 1: to the left, we picked up sixty four seats, more 34 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,079 Speaker 1: than we did in nineteen ninety four, and we again 35 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:26,359 Speaker 1: established a baseline that was very, very powerful. So where 36 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:30,919 Speaker 1: are we this year? Almost exactly identical. Biden, remember, was 37 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: hiding in the basement, claiming to bring us together. If 38 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 1: you read his inaugural address, it's all about how we're 39 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: all going to work with each other. And then, of 40 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,239 Speaker 1: course he went to the hard left, joined the big 41 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: government socialists and began trying to pass legislation while opening 42 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 1: up the American border, mishandling the withdrawal from Afghanistan, allowing 43 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:55,399 Speaker 1: inflation to spin out of control, cutting off American energy production, 44 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,359 Speaker 1: while begging the Russians and the saudiast to step in 45 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 1: and sell oil and to the United States. And people 46 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 1: came to the conclusion that the number one thing you 47 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: can say about big government socialism is it just doesn't work. 48 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 1: So at a personal level, people were angry and scared 49 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: because everything was going up in price, food, heating oil 50 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: for the winter, gasoline every time you wanted to fill 51 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 1: up your car. And so we had an election that 52 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 1: was amazing. And those of us who've been here before 53 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety one and in two thousand and nine, 54 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 1: we sort of thought this was going to happen, but 55 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: it happened deeper and more broadly than I expected. Of course, 56 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: the great national focus was on Glen Yuncan winning beating 57 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 1: former Governor Terry mcculiffe. Yuncan got fifty point seven percent, 58 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: mccauliffe got forty eight point five. This is in a 59 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 1: state by the way where Biden got fifty four percent 60 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: of the vote, so you had a six point swing 61 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 1: away from the Democrats. The six point swing, if you 62 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 1: apply to the whole country, leads to an annihilation. I 63 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: personally have predicted that we will pick up at least 64 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: four Senate seats and somewhere between forty and seventy House 65 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 1: seats in the twenty twenty two elections. But you know, 66 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 1: you don't have to believe me. Listen to the words 67 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: of our esteemed Vice President Kamala Harris, who said in 68 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: Virginia over the weekend, knowing that the polls were bad, quote, 69 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: what happens in Virginia will in large part determine what 70 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: happens in twenty twenty two, twenty twenty four, and so on. 71 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: I'm not making this up. Just listen to her in 72 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:37,160 Speaker 1: her own words, because you see what happens in Virginia, well, 73 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: in large part determine what happens in twenty twenty two, 74 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four and on. Now, I totally agree with 75 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 1: Vice President Harris. That's shock's audiences. And then I'm going 76 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: to quote what she said, because basically she's saying, given 77 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: the results in Virginia, that we're going to have a 78 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: Republican sweep, and I think she's right both in twenty 79 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,479 Speaker 1: two and in twenty four. But let me give you 80 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: more data. Sticking to the governor's race in Virginia is 81 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: a starting point. This is all based on exit polls. 82 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 1: Fifty four percent the independents voted for Yunkan. That was 83 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,720 Speaker 1: a change from two twenty when fifty seven percent of 84 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: the independents voted for Biden. So you're talking about a 85 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: really big swing here of some eleven points. Fifty seven 86 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: percent of white women voted for Yuncan, forty three percent 87 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 1: voted for mccauliffe. That compares to two twenty when half 88 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: the white women voted for Biden and forty nine percent 89 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 1: voted for Trump. So again you're talking about a significant switch. 90 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: Eighty seven percent of the Black voters voted for mccauliffe 91 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: versus thirteen percent for Yungen. But in two thou twenty, 92 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 1: eighty nine percent of the Black voters voted for Biden 93 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 1: and ten percent voted for Trump. So Yunkan was running 94 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: three percentage points ahead of Trump. Among African Americans, fifty 95 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: one percent of the voters think that parents should have 96 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: a lot of say in what their child's school teaches. 97 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 1: And that was seventy six percent of the Youncan voters 98 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,480 Speaker 1: only twenty three percent of the mccaulliff voters. It gives 99 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,679 Speaker 1: you a flavor of what was going on. Ten percent 100 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 1: think parents should not have much say. They voted eighty 101 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 1: eight percent for mccauliffe and twelve percent for Youncan. So 102 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 1: if you really believe that the bureaucrats and the government 103 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,840 Speaker 1: employees should be in charge, you voted for mcculliff by 104 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 1: a huge marsh If you really believe that parents and 105 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 1: families should be in charge, you voted for Yuncan by 106 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 1: a large margin. When you said who do you trust 107 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,119 Speaker 1: to handle the economy, it was forty three percent Yuncan, 108 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 1: forty percent of McAuliffe. Again and again, these kinds of 109 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 1: things came up, and I think it's a very important 110 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,039 Speaker 1: thing to understand that. One of the things that really 111 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 1: galvanized the race when mccauliffe in a debate said that 112 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 1: parents shouldn't tell schools what to teach. The fight over 113 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,040 Speaker 1: that Youngcan saying, of course, parents should have an impact 114 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,599 Speaker 1: in their schools, and mccaulliff doubling down on parents not 115 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 1: having an impact. The result was that education went from 116 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: third on the list to first, with the ranking of 117 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:03,599 Speaker 1: twenty four percent. Twenty three percent said the economy was important, 118 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: ten percent said COVID, nine percent said abortion, seven percent 119 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 1: said crime and public safety, and six percent said taxes. 120 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 1: The Scott Rasmussen pole found that the top issues for 121 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: the young con voters were education, emigration, inflation in the economy. 122 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 1: The top issues from Acauliff voters were COVID, education inflation 123 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 1: in the economy. A notice, both groups agree on education 124 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 1: inflation in the economy, and so that's going to remain 125 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: I think core issues for two twenty two and probably 126 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: two twenty four. On the issue of gender and bathrooms, 127 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 1: Rasmusen found that fifty seven percent of Virginia voters believed 128 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 1: that high school students should use the bathroom of their 129 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 1: biological gender. Thirty three percent disagreed. That broke pretty decisively. 130 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 1: Eighty percent of the Youncan voters believed students should be 131 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 1: required to use the bathroom of their biological sex. Fifty 132 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: four percent of MCAULI voters believe students should be able 133 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: to choose to use the bathroom of the gender that 134 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: they identify with, not necessarily the one they were born with. 135 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: So again you see really significant splits in what people believe. 136 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 1: Now fascinating thing about Virginia is not just a young 137 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 1: can win first the Republican to win statewide since two 138 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 1: thousand and nine, but win some Seers who originally was 139 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 1: an immigrant from Jamaica served in the US military. A 140 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 1: very smart person. She won to become the first lieutenant 141 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 1: governor to be a lack woman. I think she's going 142 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: to really add to the ticket. At the same time, 143 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 1: the attorney general's race, which has not technically been called, 144 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 1: but Jason Miaris the Republican is currently leading over the 145 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 1: Democratic incumbent by about the same margin as Yuncan, and 146 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 1: I frankly don't know why it hasn't been called yet, 147 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 1: because it's pretty obvious that the margin of votes is 148 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: so big that Miriis had won. Miaris is the child 149 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 1: of Cuban refugees. So you had in the Republican ticket 150 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 1: a genuinely balanced second that really reached across a very 151 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: great deal of Virginia, much more diverse than you would 152 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: have had twenty years ago in the Republican party. However, 153 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,319 Speaker 1: I have to say, I think the most interesting race 154 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 1: was not in Virginia. The most interesting race, maybe in 155 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 1: the whole country, was in New Jersey. And I'm not 156 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,200 Speaker 1: told about the governor's race, which I'll get to in 157 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:41,680 Speaker 1: a minute. Conservative truck driver Ed Derr decided to run 158 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 1: against the president of the state Senate in New Jersey. 159 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 1: President state Senate in New Jersey had several million dollars 160 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 1: in his war chest. Dirr went out and just went 161 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: door to door, shaking hands, talking to people. The last 162 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: filing report, which is eleven days before the election, der 163 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,320 Speaker 1: so far had spent one hundred and fifty three dollars, 164 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 1: of which sixty six dollars went to Dunkin Donuts to 165 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 1: buy coffee and donuts for his staff. Now, on one 166 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty three dollars, he defeated the incumbent president 167 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 1: of the New Jersey Senate. Won't you to think about that? 168 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 1: I mean, for a professional consultant class, this could be 169 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: a disaster. It cost him four tenths of a penny 170 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 1: per vote. It's an amazing achievement. He just went around 171 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: for months, knocked on do or shook hands, talk to people, 172 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 1: and it tells you how fed up people are that 173 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 1: they threw out the president state Senate for a campaign 174 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 1: which had spent one hundred and fifty three dollars. And 175 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:43,839 Speaker 1: I think it's one of the most fascinating as a 176 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 1: friend of mine who wrote me and sent me the 177 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: information said, isn't America a great place? That only in 178 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,839 Speaker 1: America could you throw out somebody who's that powerful with 179 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 1: virtually no expenditures, just because you willing to work hard 180 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 1: and see people. Now, it looks like as of right now, 181 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 1: we will almost but not quite win the governorship. Jack Chitarelli, 182 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 1: who ran a great race former assembly member, very underfunded 183 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 1: compared to Virginia, frankly ignored by the media compared with Virginia, 184 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 1: he came very very close, and finally only the votes 185 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 1: of the really big Democratic counties coming in at the 186 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: last minute saved Murphy the governor. But look at the 187 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 1: differences that we're talking about. Biden received fifty seven percent 188 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: of the vote the last time when Murphy ran, he 189 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 1: won by a very big margin that all shrank down 190 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 1: to a couple of thousand votes, and with a few breaks, 191 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 1: chenerally would have won. And I suspected really has a 192 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 1: real future and New Jersey is the most expensive state 193 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 1: in the country, has the highest tax rate in the country, 194 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 1: and I think people are fed up with it. In fact, 195 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,559 Speaker 1: we got close enough and had enough momentum that we 196 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 1: had won a number of seats. We are actually picking 197 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 1: up seats in the Assembly and seats in the state Senate. 198 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,719 Speaker 1: We're not going to quite be to a majority yet 199 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 1: because we started from pretty far behind, but we're going 200 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,439 Speaker 1: to be much closer to a majority and in pretty 201 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 1: good shape to potentially win control of the State Assembly 202 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 1: come next election in two years. So other places things 203 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 1: are fascinating. In Seattle, this is one of the centers 204 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 1: of truly stupid ideas. This is a place where you 205 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 1: had an area that claimed to have seceded from the country. 206 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 1: The early results indicate that Anne Davidson, who's the Republican 207 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 1: city attorney, was winning fifty nine to forty one. So 208 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,439 Speaker 1: here you had a clear choice in a very liberal city. 209 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 1: I mean, the idea of King County in Seattle electing 210 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:44,840 Speaker 1: a Republican is unimaginable, and it gives you a sense 211 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 1: that she is going to be much tougher on prosecuting 212 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: people who break the law. And I think that you're 213 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 1: going to see real change, but the very notion that 214 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 1: you could have a Republican winning in Seattle for city attorney, 215 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 1: that's a revolutionary future. In Minneapolis, the site of the 216 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 1: initial rioting last summer, people rejected the idea of replacing 217 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 1: the police department by fifty six to forty four and 218 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 1: just said no that they thought, at a time you 219 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 1: have rising crime rates, it was a goofy to think 220 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 1: that you're going to repeal the police department and turn 221 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,839 Speaker 1: over the power to elected officials to invent something new. 222 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:25,960 Speaker 1: That people were very turned off by the fact they 223 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 1: didn't have actually a proposal to replace it. In Pennsylvania, 224 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 1: a couple of very significant things. In Montgomery County, which 225 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 1: has become a liberal bastion. In the Philadelphia suburbs, an 226 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 1: area where Biden won three hundred and nineteen thousand votes, 227 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 1: Republicans won all four open school board seats in Perkammon 228 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 1: school Board. Remarkable turnaround, and I think that it's a 229 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 1: flavor of things to come. In Lancaster County, which had 230 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 1: gone Democrat, the Democrats lost both the County Commission and 231 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 1: the school board, and Lancaster had become a very important 232 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 1: Swings County, and the votes very well for Republicans next 233 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 1: year in both the state races and in the US 234 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 1: Senate seat Pennsylvania Supreme Court, two Republican candidates, Kevin Brobson 235 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 1: got fifty two point six percent to win. Megan Sulliman 236 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 1: got fifty five point eight percent to win. In New 237 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 1: York State, what's fascinating is the Democrats had put a 238 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 1: series of things on that kind of resemble HR one 239 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 1: of the Corrupt Politicians Act that the Democrats have been 240 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 1: pushing to change election law. They wanted to change the 241 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 1: redistricting process so they could gerrymander it easier. Voters turn 242 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 1: them down sixty one to thirty nine. They wanted to 243 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 1: have the legislature pass same day voter registration so people 244 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 1: could just walk in, claim who they were, go ahead 245 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 1: and vote. The voters turned that down sixty three to 246 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 1: thirty seven. They wanted to let the legislature pass no 247 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 1: Excuse absentee balloting, so you could ballot absentee no matter what. 248 00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 1: The voters turned that down sixty one to forty. Even 249 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 1: in New York, a very blue state, historically a very 250 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 1: liberal state, you have a consistent sixty one to sixty 251 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 1: three percent majority against the kind of changes the Democrats 252 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 1: are trying to get into Congress to fundamentally shift our 253 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 1: election law. Over on Long Island, there was a remarkable 254 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 1: run in Nassau, the career local prosecutor and Donnelly upset 255 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 1: the Democratic state Senator Todd Kaminski, who's a former federal prosecutor, 256 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 1: but somebody who had voted for the twenty nineteen law 257 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 1: that eliminated cash bail for defendants. And the result is 258 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 1: that Donnolly, who was the deputy chief of the Nassau 259 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 1: District Attorney's Organized Crime in Rackets Bureau, won sixty percent 260 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 1: of the vote to defeat Kaminsky. In Suffolk County, Republican 261 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 1: Ray Attorney beat the incumbent District Attorney, Tim Sinney, who 262 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 1: had been in office since twenty eighteen, with fifty four 263 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 1: percent of the vote in favor of enforcing the law. 264 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 1: So you're beginning to see a real pattern in New 265 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 1: York movie in the direction though we're talking about. In Texas, 266 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 1: there was a special election for San Antonio House District 267 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:12,080 Speaker 1: one eighteen in the state legislature and Luhan, who's a 268 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 1: Republican one he got fifty one percent of the vote. 269 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 1: And this is a district which is a Biden plus fourteen. 270 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 1: He carried it by fourteen percentage points and it's seventy 271 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 1: three percent Hispanic. In the South Lake, Texas school Board, 272 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 1: Andrew Yeager, who's a TV sales executive, beat Stephanie Williams 273 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 1: for a spot on the South Lake, Texas school Board. 274 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 1: Yeager was supported by the South Lake Families Canada Committee, 275 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 1: who were openly against critical race theory that gave conservatives 276 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 1: for the first time a majority control of the school board. 277 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,400 Speaker 1: You're seeing these kind of patterns around the country, and 278 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 1: I think there are a couple of lessons here. One, 279 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 1: the American people are already unhappy. I believe that the 280 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 1: big government socialists can't change who they are. I think 281 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,480 Speaker 1: they're going to continue to do things that are destructive. 282 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 1: This most recent proposal, for example, to give illegal immigrants 283 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,919 Speaker 1: four hundred and fifty thousand dollars a piece as a 284 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 1: way of saying we're sorry, that kind of stuff. I 285 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 1: think it's just not going to work, and the result 286 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:33,879 Speaker 1: is going to be I think substantial, continued increased anger. 287 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 1: We haven't seen anything like the inflation that's coming I 288 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,880 Speaker 1: say that based on my experience with the Carter years, 289 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 1: where once inflation gets out of control, it can get 290 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 1: worse very rapidly. We haven't yet come to grips with 291 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 1: how really bad the whole border problem is going to become. 292 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,639 Speaker 1: And of course you send a signal around the world, 293 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,160 Speaker 1: you might get four hundred and fifty thousand dollars if 294 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,240 Speaker 1: you can break the law and enter the US as 295 00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,440 Speaker 1: an illegal immigrant. The number of people are going to 296 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 1: try to come next year will be astounding. We have 297 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:07,600 Speaker 1: no real progress yet on reforming and modernizing the Defense 298 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 1: department in the intelligence community, as we watch the Chinese 299 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:15,439 Speaker 1: grow more aggressive and make major investments, so there are 300 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 1: a lot of things going on. My guess is having 301 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 1: gone through this first in nineteen seventy nine eighty when 302 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 1: inflation and foreign policy crises, remember the hostages held the Iranians, 303 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 1: which in a crisis which lasted four hundred and forty 304 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:34,679 Speaker 1: four days. You could see the system decaying and Reagan 305 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 1: ultimately won the largest electoral College vote against any income 306 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:44,119 Speaker 1: and president in modern history. Similarly, in nineteen ninety ninety four, 307 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:48,119 Speaker 1: you could feel people getting disaffected. Now, whether it is 308 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:52,880 Speaker 1: people chanting let's go Brandon, or it is people booing 309 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 1: the head of Major League Baseball, or it's a variety 310 00:18:56,320 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 1: of other expressions of discontent. What you're seeing into build 311 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 1: is a sense that it ain't working. We're not happy 312 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,680 Speaker 1: with it. We don't think these guys are competent. And frankly, 313 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:11,359 Speaker 1: President Biden falling asleep at the Global Warming Conference probably 314 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 1: didn't increase any sense of confidence in what he's doing. 315 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 1: And the reports we're getting back now from leaders of 316 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 1: foreign countries he met with are very grim in terms 317 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,360 Speaker 1: of his inability to stay on topic and his inability 318 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,440 Speaker 1: to remember why they were meeting. My judgment is this 319 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 1: will all get worse, and Kamala Harris in fact, will 320 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 1: be a part of that because she's so strange. You 321 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:37,119 Speaker 1: have to ask yourself, how could anybody who wants to 322 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 1: make a pro space video in which young people are 323 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,640 Speaker 1: talked to about space and express how excited they are. 324 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 1: How could anybody then decide to use child actors? And yet, 325 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 1: of course that's exactly what they did. And the child 326 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:55,200 Speaker 1: actors frankly look pretty bored, and Kamala Harris looked pretty bored. 327 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,399 Speaker 1: If you haven't seen that, And we'll have a link 328 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 1: on our show page at news world dot com, so 329 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:05,639 Speaker 1: you can see exactly how goofy that was. And so 330 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,200 Speaker 1: you have an administration which I think is going to 331 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,639 Speaker 1: have a very very hard time getting back into the game. 332 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 1: And therefore I think that we're likely to see continued 333 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 1: movement towards the Republican Party, and I think that the 334 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 1: country is going to want, first of all, to get 335 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,920 Speaker 1: away from the big government socialist Part of the reason 336 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 1: I wrote my brand new book which just came out, 337 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 1: Beyond Biden, is because I wanted to communicate that we 338 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,720 Speaker 1: have to solve the country's great problems. We can't just 339 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 1: be anti Biden or anti Harris, or anti Schumer or 340 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 1: anti Pelosi. We have to have a positive program of 341 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,879 Speaker 1: what we're going to do to get America modernized and 342 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,640 Speaker 1: in shape to compete head on with China and win. 343 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,159 Speaker 1: To ensure that every American has a good education, and 344 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:56,360 Speaker 1: that's where the young can focus on. Dramatically improving education. 345 00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 1: I thought was a very encouraging sign. He's the first 346 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 1: Republican that I know who really made education the centerpiece 347 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 1: of the campaign. It worked, and in fact, he built 348 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:11,920 Speaker 1: a much broader coalition because many parents think of themselves 349 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 1: as parents first, not Democrat or Republican, but what's going 350 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,399 Speaker 1: to be good for their children. And I think the 351 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 1: young can appealed to that and was in a position 352 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 1: where people came to the conclusion that he was serious 353 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:26,480 Speaker 1: about it. So I think that we could have one 354 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 1: of the great revolutionary moments in American history developing, and 355 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 1: a period where as we're seeing at these local races, 356 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 1: and I really emphasize the local races because you see 357 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 1: there a national mood. I mean I've described to you 358 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:46,880 Speaker 1: in New York, in Pennsylvania, in New Jersey, in Virginia, 359 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:51,240 Speaker 1: in Washington State, around Seattle. Every time you turn around, 360 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 1: you're finding that they're these rebellions underway. I think they're 361 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,920 Speaker 1: going to accelerate. I think as people think about when 362 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,479 Speaker 1: Terry McAuliffe said the last weekend that there are too 363 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:07,480 Speaker 1: many white teachers, you couldn't be more overtly racist. I mean, 364 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,920 Speaker 1: you can say there aren't too many bad teachers, or 365 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,399 Speaker 1: you can say we need more good teachers. By the way, 366 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 1: it's also just ignorant. Mccauliff is very typical of the 367 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 1: modern radical democrat who doesn't think about any of this 368 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,560 Speaker 1: and is sitting in some ivory tower, making up some 369 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 1: theory like critical race theory, and writing twelve books and 370 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:31,160 Speaker 1: getting paid an absurd amount of money by giant corporations 371 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 1: who have proven that they also are brain dead because 372 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,919 Speaker 1: they're busy trying to implement policies that make no sense. 373 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 1: And when you end up with, as one mother said, 374 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 1: her seven year old daughter coming home and saying, mother, 375 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 1: am I evil because I was born white? Well, you 376 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,479 Speaker 1: know the country's not going to respond positively. And you know, 377 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 1: by the way that virtually every mother of every ethnic 378 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,440 Speaker 1: background is going to understand that, and they're going to 379 00:22:56,480 --> 00:23:00,240 Speaker 1: think about their child. So it's truly tragic that we 380 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:04,920 Speaker 1: finally broke away from segregation, we were finally moving towards integration, 381 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 1: and we now have this sort of brand new racism 382 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 1: on the left trying to push us back down into 383 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,119 Speaker 1: being divided up once again. And I think what you 384 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 1: saw all across the country in school board elections, county 385 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:22,679 Speaker 1: commission elections, city elections, and of course in state legislative races, 386 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 1: as you saw the American people beginning to respond and 387 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,880 Speaker 1: beginning to say, no, that's not the future we want. 388 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,119 Speaker 1: So I'm personally very encouraged. I think this was a 389 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 1: historic election. I think that'll be fascinating to watch Junkan 390 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:41,200 Speaker 1: who's a very smart guy, a very very good manager, 391 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 1: and who I think as determined as he kept saying 392 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 1: to start change on day one. And I think that's 393 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,440 Speaker 1: going to be a fascinating thing to watch. And it's 394 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,359 Speaker 1: going to give a lot of other Republicans some pretty 395 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 1: good reform ideas and some pretty good things to learn from. 396 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:01,719 Speaker 1: And it's going to enrich dramatically our campaign in twenty 397 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 1: twenty two. And I can tell you that back in 398 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety three ninety four, we relied very heavily on 399 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:14,200 Speaker 1: the governors Wisconsin, Michigan, and Virginia which had passed welfare reform, 400 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,879 Speaker 1: which we borrowed. It was Wisconsin which had passed school choice, 401 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,879 Speaker 1: which we borrowed. But our ability to reach out and 402 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 1: get the best ideas from the governors gave us a 403 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:28,119 Speaker 1: much greater capacity to get things done. It's been fascinating 404 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 1: to me watching the conversations, particularly on the more pro 405 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:35,400 Speaker 1: democratic networks, as they talk about how maybe this could 406 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 1: all be fixed if only Biden could pass infrastructure or whatever. 407 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 1: And I think it tells you a lot about what's 408 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 1: happening to the Democratic Party. The average American doesn't get 409 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:48,880 Speaker 1: up in the morning and say, oh, gosh, I sure 410 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,439 Speaker 1: hope they passed that bill, whatever the bill is. The 411 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,399 Speaker 1: average American does get up in the morning and go 412 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 1: fill up their car, and if they suddenly realize what 413 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,919 Speaker 1: the price of gasoline is, and then they go over 414 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:00,879 Speaker 1: to the grocery store and realize what the price of 415 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 1: food is, and then they look at Christmas gifts and 416 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 1: realize that they may not be able to get them. 417 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 1: And then they look at the number of people flooding 418 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 1: across the border, and then they read about last night's 419 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 1: murder rate in their town. Those things are real. And 420 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 1: one of the characteristics of the Virginia race that I 421 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:25,720 Speaker 1: found fascinating was that Yuncan was consistently advertising about children, parents, schools, jobs, 422 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 1: things that were in your life, not in politics. And 423 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:35,679 Speaker 1: by contrast, mccauliffe was consistently advertising about Donald Trump January 424 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:39,719 Speaker 1: sixth and political things. Well, most Americans don't get up 425 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,920 Speaker 1: in the morning and worry about January sixth. Most Americans 426 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 1: don't get up in the morning, frankly, and worry about 427 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:48,119 Speaker 1: any politician and I think it just tells you that 428 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 1: the Democrats have now become a Washington centric party that 429 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:55,639 Speaker 1: greatly exaggerates the impact of what they're doing in Washington 430 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 1: and completely misses what's happening in everyday life for most 431 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 1: of Americans. And I think in the next year we're 432 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 1: gonna have a great opportunity not just in watching and 433 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,639 Speaker 1: learning from Glen Yungkan, but in looking at all the 434 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 1: Republican governors and the state legislators, in realizing that, however 435 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,159 Speaker 1: totally screwed up Washington is right now, that there are 436 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 1: a lot of capitals out there, of states where good 437 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 1: things are happening and where the national Republicans can learn 438 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,919 Speaker 1: a great deal. So I lave last night's results with 439 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,800 Speaker 1: a great sense of optimism and a great commitment to 440 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 1: continue developing things. And that's why I wrote Beyond Biden, 441 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:34,879 Speaker 1: because I do think you're going to have a country 442 00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,320 Speaker 1: that's eager and ready to talk about what are the 443 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 1: good things we can do as opposed to how really 444 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,159 Speaker 1: stupid the current leadership is. Thank you very much for 445 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 1: let me give you these thoughts about the election and 446 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:59,000 Speaker 1: where we're at.
