1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,000
What happened? It's very simple. He won. He won. Trump won. I mean that's really the end of the story.

2
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:20,000
Right? As far as what happened, I think that a lot of the consternation here is coming from a couple of different places.

3
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:30,000
Right? So in 2016 when he won, it was novel, it was new, it was crazy, but people were like, okay, Hillary's a phenomenally bad candidate.

4
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:40,000
Nobody likes her. Like, okay, like people kind of got it. And then when Biden beat him in 2020, everybody's like, okay, okay.

5
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:51,000
Now we can go back to normal American politics. That's kind of boring and things like that. That's not the case. That's not what happened.

6
00:00:51,000 --> 00:01:02,000
Okay? He won last night. And I think the reason that a lot of people are having a lot of consternation is they don't understand the why.

7
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:11,000
Right? They don't understand why he lost. They're like, what? Because she wasn't a worse candidate than Biden.

8
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:22,000
Right? So the fact that she lost so much ground in like Philadelphia and Pittsburgh and so many places and with so many different types of voters is baffling to a lot of people.

9
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:38,000
Before I kind of get into the why, right? Here's where we're going to start. Before I talk about why, we're going to listen to our lovely patron saint of liberalism and what he had to say about this.

10
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:44,000
And that of course is Mr. John Stewart. What did John have to say about all this?

11
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:54,000
Here's what we know. Is that we don't really know anything and that we're going to come out of this election and we're going to make all kinds of pronouncements about what this country is and what this world is.

12
00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:03,000
And the truth is, we're not really going to know shit. And we're going to make it seem like this is the finality of our civilization and this and thing.

13
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:09,000
We're all going to have to wake up tomorrow morning and work like hell to move the world to the place that we prefer it to be.

14
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:18,000
And I just want to point out just as a matter of perspective that the less this is the important part pundits take away from these results and that includes me.

15
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:43,000
We're asking people to make sure these people have done what their hearts are making sure they donate what they do and I got to sort of put that out in need.

16
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:47,240
And then of course in 2012 Obama won again.

17
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,040
And the lesson was,

18
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:53,680
the GOP needs to send a powerful signal to Hispanic voters

19
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,840
that the party respects them.

20
00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:00,440
That was the lesson they learned after that victory.

21
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,160
And they were certain of it.

22
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,320
And send a powerful signal to the Hispanic community

23
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:07,960
the GOP did.

24
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:09,960
When Mexico sends its people,

25
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:15,200
they're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're rapists.

26
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,960
Which apparently was the winning message.

27
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,680
And that taught Democrats in 2016 what?

28
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,840
Maybe what the Democrats are looking for is

29
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,280
somebody with some insight experience

30
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:26,680
but who's a generation younger.

31
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:27,880
It's obviously going to be younger.

32
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,160
It's going to be from a new generation.

33
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,360
Yeah. Need I say it?

34
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,880
It's a great honor and humility.

35
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,760
I accept this nomination.

36
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,440
And that turned out to be a winning message again.

37
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,960
Which led to an insurrection.

38
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,440
And the lesson from that was,

39
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,680
when Donald Trump leaves office on Wednesday morning,

40
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,040
he will leave Washington a pariah.

41
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,680
Donald Trump will never be allowed to set foot

42
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,720
in the Capitol again.

43
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:57,560
Never.

44
00:03:58,680 --> 00:03:59,520
Ever.

45
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,080
My point is this.

46
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:07,080
But this isn't the end. I promise you.

47
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,080
This is not the end.

48
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,560
And we have to regroup.

49
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,080
And we have to continue to fight.

50
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:21,080
And continue to work day in and day out

51
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:25,080
to create the better society for our children,

52
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,080
for this world, for this country,

53
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,080
that we know is possible.

54
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,080
And that, of course, is our lovely

55
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,080
patron saint of liberalism, Mr. John Stewart.

56
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:36,080
Why?

57
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,080
Yeah, I wish I could get John on the show.

58
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,080
I wish I could get John on the show.

59
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,080
That would be awesome.

60
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,080
I have like 485 subscribers on YouTube.

61
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:50,080
So, you know, that's not going to happen.

62
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,080
It would be nice.

63
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,080
Like I would love it, but it's not going to happen.

64
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,080
So what is the next step?

65
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:04,080
So what do we actually think happened?

66
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:09,080
I mean, people didn't show up, right?

67
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:16,080
A, the turnout was way lower, considerably lower

68
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:17,080
than it was in 2020.

69
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,080
Just less motherfuckers voted.

70
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:23,080
Harrison Company went in with this theory of the case

71
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,080
that there was enough Republicans who were just fucking

72
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,080
sick of Donald Trump that they would come over

73
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,080
and hold their noses and vote for her.

74
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,080
Based on the turnout, my guess is the people who are

75
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,080
Republicans who did not want to vote for Donald Trump

76
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,080
just stayed the fuck home.

77
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,080
They just stayed home.

78
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:45,080
They just stayed home.

79
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:46,080
And that was that.

80
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:50,080
The other thing that happened, and this is my one big

81
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,080
pronouncement, and I could be wrong much like John said,

82
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,080
but here's my thing.

83
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,080
Democrats lost the information war.

84
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,080
They've lost it completely.

85
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:04,080
The right wing ecosystem has built this information

86
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:09,080
ecosystem with loads of cash behind it, right?

87
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,080
Behind the daily wire and Matt Walsh and Ben Shapiro

88
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,080
and all these motherfuckers.

89
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:15,080
Okay.

90
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,080
And between that and kind of the Joe Rogges

91
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,080
and everything else, they've built this ecosystem

92
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:25,080
to get their message out that doesn't really cost,

93
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,080
like they don't have to buy ads, right?

94
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,080
They're not doing it the old fashioned way.

95
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:30,080
They're doing it with new media.

96
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,080
They're doing it with social media, right?

97
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,080
You know, Elon put his thumb on the scale on Twitter.

98
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,080
That just happened.

99
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:37,080
Okay.

100
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:38,080
It just happened.

101
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:39,080
Okay.

102
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:44,080
And the Democrats just haven't done that.

103
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:45,080
They just haven't.

104
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:46,080
Okay.

105
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:50,080
There is no Andrew Tate, right?

106
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:51,080
On the Democrats.

107
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:56,080
There's no Joe Rogan on the left side of the aisle.

108
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:57,080
Okay.

109
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:58,080
There's just not.

110
00:06:58,080 --> 00:06:59,080
Okay.

111
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,080
And it sucks.

112
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:02,080
It sucks.

113
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:03,080
Okay.

114
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:08,080
That's where they've really lost the plot.

115
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:12,080
They don't know how to build that ecosystem.

116
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,080
And even if they were to start today, and I was having this

117
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,080
conversation with people on Twitter today about this saying,

118
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:21,080
look, even if they start now, they're 15 years behind, right?

119
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,080
Because Ben Shapiro Prager, you, all these motherfuckers are

120
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,080
already built.

121
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,080
They are already in the system.

122
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:30,080
Okay.

123
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,080
That's, that's just what it is.

124
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:34,080
Okay.

125
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:38,080
And that's not going to change anytime soon.

126
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,080
That's, that's just what it is.

127
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:45,080
And the way that I know this is I was with somebody last night

128
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:50,080
during the election, who didn't vote at all, but you know,

129
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,080
it was somebody that I, I see from time to time, you know,

130
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,080
every week or so.

131
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,080
And there were multiple times when me and our, my other friend

132
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,080
who was here and we were watching the election together

133
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,080
while we played some magic, we sat down and he would be like,

134
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,080
why is this a thing?

135
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:06,080
Right.

136
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,080
And he, because he, he was under this misconception that a lot

137
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:13,080
of the things that drove him nuts about politics was the fault

138
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,080
of the fucking Democrats.

139
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,080
He was like, well, why, why isn't there a, you know, this?

140
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,080
And I'm like, because the Republicans don't want it, he was

141
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,080
flabbergasted by the electoral college.

142
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,080
He was like, why do we do it this way?

143
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,080
And I'm like, because, because Republicans, they don't want to

144
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,080
get rid of the electoral college.

145
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,080
They have a massive fucking advantage.

146
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,080
They just do.

147
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:39,080
That's, that's what it is.

148
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,080
You know, it reminded me of a time when I was, I was at,

149
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:46,080
I was doing army stuff and it was right after the Puerto Rico

150
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,080
and hurricane, the Puerto Rico hurricane when Trump was

151
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,080
president the first time.

152
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,080
And we were talking about the Puerto Ricans who were migrating

153
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,080
to the United, to the mainland, right?

154
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,080
Because of the hurricane, because they just, they had nowhere

155
00:08:58,080 --> 00:08:59,080
else to live.

156
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,080
And so they moved in with family on the mainland.

157
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:06,080
And he was like, he was like, well, how long can they stay

158
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:07,080
here?

159
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:08,080
They'll have to go back, right?

160
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,080
And I looked at him and I was like, you do know that Puerto

161
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,080
Rico is part of America?

162
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,080
Like they can just come here and they're citizens.

163
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:16,080
And he was like, what?

164
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,080
And this was a guy in the military.

165
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:27,080
Like he, he did not fundamentally understand that, that Puerto

166
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,080
Rico was part of the United States of America, right?

167
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:38,080
There is so much lack of information and stuff like that.

168
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:42,080
And part of it is our own lack of paying attention.

169
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:43,080
I am the opposite.

170
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:44,080
I'm a fucking political junkie.

171
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,080
I love politics.

172
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,080
I love sports, I love movies, I love all this stuff.

173
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,080
It's highly entertaining to me.

174
00:09:50,080 --> 00:10:02,080
And the issue is there are so many people who aren't that

175
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,080
engaged at the level that I am, that I spend time with.

176
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:09,080
And this is, I think why I see how this happens is I spend time

177
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,080
with people who aren't as engaged, not nearly as engaged as I

178
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,080
am within my circle.

179
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:18,080
And they get all of their information from the bombardment

180
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,080
of social media posts at Tiktok, Twitter, Facebook, wherever

181
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:22,080
it's coming from.

182
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:28,080
And again, the right wing has this, this ecosystem built.

183
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,080
And by the way, if I hear a conservative say to me that

184
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:34,080
they're being censored for the next fucking eight years, I'm

185
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:35,080
going to smack them.

186
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:36,080
Okay.

187
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:40,080
Like, no, dude, you guys own the fucking internet fucking

188
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:41,080
sphere.

189
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:42,080
You own it.

190
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,080
You fucking own it.

191
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:48,080
So, so quit griping that you're being censored because it's

192
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:49,080
crap.

193
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,080
It's, it's absolutely crap.

194
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:53,080
Okay.

195
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,080
That's all there is to it.

196
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:56,080
Okay.

197
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,080
That's all there is to it.

198
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:02,080
Um, so yeah, I mean, that, that's what happened.

199
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:07,080
Um, he flipped, uh, Latino men, uh, massively went for Trump

200
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:08,080
over Kamala.

201
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,080
Um, it's a huge shift.

202
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:15,080
Um, just a massive, massive shift.

203
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,080
Um, and that wasn't surprising to me at all.

204
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,080
I have Latino families and I've said this for a long time.

205
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,080
Now, previously my statement had been if the Republican

206
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,080
party would just get rid of the racism, they'd never lose

207
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:29,080
an election again because Latinos, and I speak knowing a lot

208
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:33,080
of my family are, a lot of them are very, very conservative,

209
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,080
extremely conservative.

210
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:41,080
And so, you know, it's, it's not surprising to me when they

211
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:42,080
go conservative.

212
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:46,080
It doesn't shock me at all, at all.

213
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,080
Um, it turns out he didn't have to turn off the racism.

214
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:50,080
They'll just, they'll come over there because they're willing

215
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,080
to pull up the ladder behind them.

216
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:56,080
Um, I saw so many interviews and so many, uh, exit poll people

217
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,080
when they were saying, you know, blah, blah, blah, what do you

218
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:00,080
want?

219
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:01,080
I was like, well, I want to end immigration.

220
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:02,080
They're like, aren't you an immigrant?

221
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,080
Well, yeah, well, I'm fine, but not those other people.

222
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:05,080
Right.

223
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:09,080
And so that's, we, we have to come to the conclusion that

224
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:13,080
that's, that's just, it is what it is.

225
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:14,080
Okay.

226
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:15,080
That's what's going to happen.

227
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:16,080
That's where we were.

228
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:17,080
And that's what did happen.

229
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:18,080
Right.

230
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,080
Um, and again, a lot of motherfuckers stayed home, which I

231
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:25,080
think is probably the part that is frustrating the most

232
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,080
people is I think that, that I can't turn out was just lower.

233
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:31,080
Um, and then he flipped just the right part of the electorate.

234
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:37,080
Um, and just enough, just enough, um, he didn't win by huge margins

235
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:38,080
in the swing states.

236
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,080
Um, and, um, we're going to go to ours.

237
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,080
So also what happened, I'm going to focus on Washington.

238
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:48,080
We're one of the only states that actually moved to the, to the

239
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:49,080
left.

240
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,080
Every, most of those, it's us in Colorado, I think we're the

241
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,080
other ones that went, nope, we're going this way.

242
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:58,080
Everybody else, California, man, some of the ballot initiatives

243
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,080
in California, they really went to the right.

244
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:06,080
Um, so, um, well, we'll look at Washington cause that's where

245
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:07,080
we are.

246
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:08,080
Right.

247
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,080
Obviously, calmly here, this percentage is lower, but these

248
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:16,080
ones, holy smokes, RFK got 1.15 in this state.

249
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:20,080
Um, Jill Stein, Claudia Dale Cruz, these are all protest votes

250
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:25,080
down here, Chase Oliver, which blows my mind, but whatever.

251
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:29,080
Um, Senator Maria Cantwell won like in a walk.

252
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,080
Uh, she's up by 600,000.

253
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:35,080
Susan DelPenny in district one, Rick Larson, none of that surprising.

254
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:36,080
This is the only one.

255
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:37,080
This is the one right here.

256
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,080
Congressional district three.

257
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,080
This is the one that Republicans wanted to pick up.

258
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:45,080
Um, this is the second time Joe Kent has run for that seat.

259
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:49,080
Um, this is the seat that covers like Vancouver.

260
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:53,080
On the south side of the state and the big rural areas around

261
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:57,080
Vancouver, which is why the percentage is a little bit closer.

262
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,080
It's only, she's only one of by 4%.

263
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,080
Um, she's winning by what is that about 12,000 and change.

264
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,080
Uh, she's got the seat like Joe Kent's not going to come back

265
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:10,080
from that, but that's, that's the one that Republicans were

266
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,080
hoping to grab and it just, it wasn't going to happen.

267
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,080
Um, he's a really bad candidate.

268
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,080
Again, this is the second time they've run him.

269
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:24,080
This actually up until 2020 was, uh, no, sorry, until 2022 was

270
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,080
a safely Republican seat.

271
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:30,080
Uh, and then they started running crazy, uh, election deniers

272
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,080
in it and, and, and mega heads and just didn't work out.

273
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,080
Um, you'll notice this one is Republican versus Republican.

274
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:40,080
Some Republican GOP on GOP violence because we have a top two primary system.

275
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,080
So in that district, whoever gets the most, uh, whichever two,

276
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,080
so that could, why you get double party people.

277
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,080
So that's Eastern Washington.

278
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:50,080
Five.

279
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,080
That's again, Eastern Washington.

280
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:53,080
That's Republican.

281
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:58,080
Uh, six, which I think is the Northwest side is Democrat.

282
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:05,080
Uh, Primilla, Jayapal, like in a walk, um, Kim Shrier in a walk.

283
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:06,080
She won by nine.

284
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:08,080
Adam Smith again.

285
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,080
None of these are really surprising, especially since this is Democrat

286
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:12,080
on Democrat.

287
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:15,080
None of those are particularly surprising.

288
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:24,080
Um, you know, uh, as far as ballot measures, what's interesting to me is

289
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,080
they pretty much all failed, right?

290
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:32,080
Except for the one about natural gas.

291
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,080
Um, that's the only one that won.

292
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:41,080
This one was about, uh, getting rid of an excise tax on capital gains.

293
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:42,080
That failed.

294
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:46,080
These were all anti taxation measures and they all failed.

295
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,080
Carbon tax credit trading failed.

296
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:59,080
And then, uh, this is for self employed, uh, for an exemption for

297
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,080
public insurance and that failed.

298
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:05,080
Um, this is the only one where I was like, Oh, that's interesting.

299
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,080
Um, for voter turnout.

300
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,080
Uh, 5 million people in the state of Washington voted.

301
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:12,080
That's pretty cool.

302
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:16,080
Uh, King County comprising 1.4 million of that Pierce County being

303
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:20,080
577,000 and Snohomish County being 531,000.

304
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,080
Those obviously being the three biggest ones.

305
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,080
What can commit that 167,000.

306
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:29,080
Um, Spokane 375,000.

307
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:32,080
You know, I mean the population centers are what the population

308
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:33,080
centers are.

309
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:37,080
So, um, yeah, I mean that, that's the only thing that's, that's the only

310
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,080
thing that's, that's the only thing that's, that's the only thing

311
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:43,080
that's, that's the only thing that's, that's the only thing that's

312
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:44,080
happening.

313
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,080
Um, yeah, I mean, that, that's what happened here.

314
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:47,080
Um,

315
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:52,080
I.

316
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,080
Everywhere else in the country kind of tacked to the right.

317
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:56,080
Um,

318
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,080
It just is what it is, guys, like.

319
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,080
I understand a lot of the consternation.

320
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,080
I understand the frustration.

321
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:04,080
Um,

322
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,080
I just, I said it is what it is.

323
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:08,080
Um,

324
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,080
So yeah, that's, that's what happened.

325
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:11,080
Um,

326
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:14,080
that we lost the, the, the Democrats lost the information fight.

327
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:18,080
That's, that's the thing that I, the biggest takeaway that I took away

328
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,080
from this election, especially again, listening to young people.

329
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:22,080
Oh, sorry.

330
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,080
That's the other thing.

331
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,080
Gen Z is remarkably conservative.

332
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:28,080
Um,

333
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,080
Let's see if I can find.

334
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,080
Gen Z.

335
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:59,080
Gen ZSee be like,

336
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,680
that's the other thing that kind

337
00:18:01,380 --> 00:18:05,580
of like what? That kind of blew

338
00:18:02,740 --> 00:18:08,580
people away out of this

339
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:10,080
election. Chats say now we need

340
00:18:08,660 --> 00:18:11,280
to do a game which is the best

341
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,260
locker cells in a few years.

342
00:18:11,360 --> 00:18:15,020
We're going to talk about that

343
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:16,960
next. What do we do next? What
