In this special election night watch-along special, Andrew Kraft and his co-hosts Jajesus, an alien from Mars, and M.W. Klein discuss the impact of social media on the election, and how technology has changed the way we think about politics, and the impact it has had on our perception of the election. They also discuss how technology is changing how we vote, and what it means for the future of the political world, and why we should all be drinking to celebrate the results of the vote. And, of course, there's some trivia. Thanks to our sponsor, Pfizer, for sponsoring this special Election Night Watchalong, and to everyone else who joined in on the fun. We hope you enjoy it, and we'll see you in the polls tomorrow morning! - Andrew, Jajaus, M. W. Klein, and J.K. Kraft. Thank you, Andrew, for being with us. - Your support is so appreciated, and this is a must-listen-listener-festival. Thank you to everyone who called in with questions and suggestions, and who sent in their thoughts and questions and concerns, and sent us in to us.

00:09:14.000Quite analytical and demographically oriented, I suppose, because all that exists at the moment is a mosaic of disparate information from which people try to form pictures.
00:09:29.000Before we get into what we're going to do, what I consider will be some of the fun, is we'll watch...
00:12:50.000I suppose the way the sports coverage has changed and, you know, the distance that someone has run or the passes that someone has completed, that applies now in politics, doesn't it?
00:12:58.000We have access to that sort of same level of granular detail.
00:13:03.000Does this seem like the mass maneuvering of entire demographics?
00:13:09.000What I mean by that is that, as we were discussing on the show earlier, in 2016, the world was shocked by the impact of social media, both when it came to Brexit and the election of Trump.
00:13:22.000Think of how the world and in particular the political world and big tech have changed since then.
00:13:29.000What kind of relationships have they forged?
00:15:19.000What I've continually been saying, probably because someone else said it and I just remembered it, is that this is an election that will demonstrate establishment versus new emergent independent forces.
00:15:31.000Now, I guess you would not call Elon Musk an independent emergent force in the sense of like he's hardly like a plucky upstart, he's the world's richest man, but...
00:15:42.000Ultimately, what is he in this context other than a very rich person who is facilitating dissenting speech on X? I mean, I'm sure some of you guys have got some more outlandish opinions, but that's my take on him.
00:15:58.000This is an interesting point from Greenwald before we get into the meat of the matter.
00:16:02.000It continues to be inconceivable that the US, virtually all alone in the democratic world, cannot count all votes in the same night as election day.
00:16:10.000And if it's very close, it may need days or even more than a week to determine the winner.
00:16:15.000Why are we being pre-bunked in this way?
00:16:20.000It seems like we're getting prepared for some stuff.
00:16:23.000Now, before we get into looking at Fox, a quick glance.
00:16:45.000I can talk a little bit more in detail about the incident with the individual at the polling location in a moment.
00:16:51.000Let me start off by saying it's obviously been no secret that this particular election was hotly contested throughout the entire election season.
00:17:04.000Given all of that, we are extremely pleased with what we saw today.
00:17:09.000The vast majority of what we responded to were situations where we simply had It's funny when people that aren't on TV much really sort of take their moment, don't you think?
00:17:20.000Like, now listen, I'm going to talk for a while about this.
00:17:26.000Someone who I think always necessarily, and I'm grateful for the facts, comes to the fore in moments like this is Alex Jones, not shy of making audacious and bold predictions.
00:18:37.000And when I saw this meme image today that's posted at Real Alex Jones...
00:18:42.000I said, this is a graphic image that accurately...
00:18:47.000I love this because it's actually the silhouette of Donald Trump's hairline, which Alex Jones says is predicting a possible outcome.
00:18:58.000I think the cadence of voting, that's what I think he's saying, is that there's going to be a sharp incline, then it's going to flatten out for a while.
00:19:52.000He's going to sort of just make it over Trump's ear, have a sharp upsurge for a minute before leveling off across his forehead.
00:20:00.000I mean, if that is the voting pattern, I will see that as in irrefutable evidence that Alex Jones is in touch with ulterior forces at an Ezekiel level.
00:20:22.000If they are crazy enough to openly call it early like Fox did four years ago and steal it, it blows up even bigger in their face down the road.
00:20:33.000But you already see capitulations by a lot of the Silicon Valley people.
00:20:41.000Republican Congress folks that are very respected have said they've already seen it circulating, that they're getting ready to try to impeach him as soon as he's in.
00:20:48.000They plan riots once he's president-elect.
00:20:57.000Is this going to be when Peter McCulloch's wellness kit comes in all handy and we're going to want to stockpile ivermectin and, like, As I would say in my country, tins of tuna.
00:21:08.000Is this going to be a time when we're going to need an allotment?
00:21:39.000So you can study Dave doing his show very professionally, looking very handsome, holding spectacles, got a piece of paper, we've got a map.
00:22:32.000I'm thinking about Jews in Pennsylvania.
00:22:34.000I'm studying this at a granular level.
00:22:37.000In fact, before you came on, I was really offering real scrutiny and insights into this that I think would have really helped people understand.
00:23:39.000I voted for Hope and Change twice, and I regret it.
00:23:44.000I tweeted out this week that I regret it, and I think Elon responded to me and said something to the effect of he's never been so disappointed with the human, something like that.
00:25:02.000Jordan's take on surprising to you was in essence that if you think that tonight, whatever, if we get the result that you don't want, so if Kamala wins tonight, And you think that the world is over.
00:25:14.000Well, as he said, first off, the next election's only in four years.
00:25:17.000But really what he said was, you still have autonomy over your life.
00:25:21.000You have autonomy over your family and your job.
00:25:24.000And yeah, they can hit you on every which way and every side of the whole thing.
00:25:27.000But there are some things that you control.
00:25:29.000I mean, in essence, it was clean your room before you clean the world.
00:25:32.000But we've all engaged in so much hyperbole on both sides.
00:25:36.000We all saw Elon Musk on Rogan saying, if Kamala wins, like, X is going to shut down, he's going to be foreclosed upon.
00:25:44.000Did you hear the bit where he said, one of the bits that struck me was when he talked about the Stalin torturer-in-chief who said, show me the man and I'll show you the crime.
00:25:55.000Yeah, and when Mike Benz, who I know you've spoken to, said to me, when people say democracy now, they don't mean a process of representative electoral procedure.
00:26:06.000What they mean is a set of institutions that they're in control of, whether that's the media or the judiciary.
00:26:13.000And I've got to tell you, I am pretty scared.
00:26:16.000I spoke to Dana White, not today, like another day, and he said, you know, I'll be getting up on November the 6th and it'll be a normal day, much like, you know, JP saying there.
00:26:35.000Look, I say some over the top things sometimes.
00:26:38.000Sometimes the sarcasm can be a little angrier maybe than I want it to be or something like that.
00:26:42.000In some ways, to me, we're fighting something that is so deeply dangerous that is the unbelievably never ending, always growing Marxist idea that is so historically evil that if I've engaged in a little hyperbole along the way,
00:26:59.000which I undoubtedly have, I think sometimes it's kinda, it's sorta why when people are like, oh, I like Donald Trump, I don't like the way he talks, that I find that that, it kinda runs thin with me at this point, cause it's like, you gotta fight however you can, something like that.
00:27:18.000I felt like egalitarianism, the principle of equality, was very important.
00:27:23.000I felt the biggest threat that society in the world faced were powerful corporations and only the state, a state that responded to the will of the people, could oppose the titans of capitalism that were set to take over the globe.
00:27:39.000Over time, I've come to realize that what the state has been trying to do since the advent of Marx, but probably from earlier than that, is replace, and this is Jordan Peterson territory, God in our lives, to have absolute power.
00:27:54.000Now, because of the advance of technology, there is the ability for omniscience through surveillance, omnipresence through the devices that we all carry, and the sort of control of our consciousness through the sort of Deep programming we're all encountering.
00:28:10.000You'll have seen those memes, Dave, of like, you know, if you Google, where can I vote for Kamala, someone comes around your house and drives you to a voting booth in a limousine, and if you say, where can I vote for Trump, someone comes and kicks you in the arse Are
00:28:47.000Where are you at in terms of just pure hope of whatever goes right means to you, that it goes right, and that we can get out of some of this?
00:29:01.000The problem with me is I'm a pretty impressionable person.
00:29:04.000So if I'm going for my ex-feed and I see you being optimistic and then see Tucker being optimistic, then I'll be like, okay, yes, right.
00:29:14.000But then if I watch something else and I see people that believe that Trump is a monster in the manner that you just described, saying, yeah, we've got this and look, their rallies are crap.
00:29:24.000I start to get concerned because I truly believe.
00:29:28.000A brilliant video where you appealed to liberals and said, like, you know, if you just look at the facts now, look at the people that are aligned with Trump.
00:29:37.000Look at what's happening with surveillance and censorship and the degree of control that's being asserted in the name of protection.
00:29:43.000Look at the shallow vacuity of these cipher candidates that they're Are you planning to drink, Dave?
00:30:04.000Well, there is a little tequila here and in the 30 seconds we have remaining, do you want to tell people what happened when you were at my house a couple of weeks ago involving a glass of tequila?
00:30:13.000I was hanging out, fool that I am, open-minded gentleman that I've become with Dave and his husband, David, and I was so excited to eat food.
00:30:23.000I was really hungry and in my mind I was thinking the food's coming.
00:30:25.000I was preparing some steak and I was like, oh yes, This is going to be so sick.
00:32:32.000Elect, we're not out of the woods yet, but the big battle...
00:32:36.000To wake people up and to have them rebel against the system mentally and not be bullied and not let the left in Hollywood program you and control you and dictate to you and bully you is over.
00:33:10.000you can feel it a flight promotions uh you're gonna be okay russell you'll be protected yes thank you very much man thanks for saying that uh for your vegetarian martha i was i was vegetarian i was vegan for a long time but yeah man i've got some serious friends with some serious advice who said it's time for you to get very very very strong in a very very crazy world Thanks for joining us.
00:33:35.000If you're watching us on YouTube, we'll be with you for a couple more minutes.
00:33:38.000We're going to be keeping our eye on the mainstream on this...
00:33:42.000Are we going to call it a historic night?
00:33:43.000It's historic in the sense of America and human civilization, in the sense of the limitlessness of endless cosmoses.
00:34:43.000What's the YouTube email you're in contact with?
00:34:45.000If you can't get through to YouTube, that is, you'll never feel more like you're in an Aldous Huxley novel than if you try to communicate with YouTube directly.
00:34:55.000What I mean by that, and I mean that with all due respect to the actual human beings that work at YouTube, but what I mean is it's been captured by the kind of...
00:35:04.000Corporatist anodyne astringent power that we fear will take over the world.
00:38:01.000Marcel Powell, she conceded the race to Rick Scott there, and this is the breakdown we have in the results according to the Associated Press right now.
00:38:10.000You can see there the race was called about an hour ago, and so Republicans breathing somewhat of a sigh of relief there in the Sunshine State.
00:38:27.000You know, there's Senate, all the whole thing simultaneously.
00:38:31.000You've got so much to determine in your crazy country.
00:38:34.000Okay, let's have a look at, oh, did you see this earlier on X? This is the voter ID moment, where someone really pushed to the limit the plausibility of not requiring identification when you show up to vote.
00:43:50.000Heavenly Father, thank you for the relational component That shows us and teaches us that in relationship we can love one another.
00:43:57.000And even though it's very exciting to get caught up in the circus and pageantry of oppositionism and competition, Lord, may we remember that not only are all the people in America ultimately of one human family, all the people of the world are ultimately of one human family.
00:44:15.000And we ask Lord Jesus if you will be present with all of us Lord, even those that have not yet accepted you, we ask that they may feel your presence.
00:44:29.000And if indeed, Heavenly Father, you do conclude that this is to be a time of disruption and chaos, we would ask that beneath the chaos we might yet feel order.
00:44:40.000Lord, it feels so frequently That order merely rests upon chaos.
00:44:46.000That temporary human life rests upon death.
00:44:51.000That the city rests upon the rubble it will one day inevitably become.
00:44:57.000But though the temple may be reduced to rubble, it can be rebuilt in three days.
00:45:03.000Lord, I ask that we feel that the ultimate temple is the temple of our body, which ought and must be a dwelling place for you, Lord.
00:45:12.000I ask that you inhabit us individually and collectively, Lord, that even on a night like tonight that is about competition and measurement and power and the meeting out of power and the communication of power and the conduct of media and posturing and who can stand closest to the light and who gets the shine of the King, Lord, I ask that we remember that there is only one King You, Lord Jesus Christ, and we ask for peace and harmony in your name.
00:46:41.000All right, so Congressman, the Democrat Andy Kim beating Republican Curtis Bashaw there in New Jersey.
00:46:48.000And this race just called by the Associated Press with around 28% of estimated votes counted.
00:46:53.000Remember, this is Senator Bob Menendez's seat that he resigned from this summer after being found guilty of 16 felony corruption counts, and he was convicted of that.
00:47:06.000He gets sentenced on those convictions.
00:47:09.000Come January here, Andy Kim will replace Bob Menendez there in the Garden State for this Senate seat.
00:47:15.000Democrats keeping the seat there in New Jersey.
00:47:19.000But we also have some race calls coming in on the presidential level as well.
00:47:23.000For Vice President Kamala Harris, we brought you Delaware for her.
00:48:24.000With Trump, we're starting to see though, and this gives us a little bit more context, the lighter shades are some of the more interesting ones, specifically in the battlegrounds of Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Georgia.
00:48:36.000Let's very briefly just look at what little information we have out of Michigan.
00:48:41.000So, with 7% of the vote in so far, we do see Harris with a 14% advantage in Michigan, Pennsylvania.
00:48:48.000Only 12% of the votes have been tallied so far.
00:48:52.000And right now, Harris has a sizable lead.
00:48:54.000Looks like she's got a 40-point lead right now.
00:48:57.000That very well could be one of those blue mirage situations that we were just discussing very early on in the tabulation.
00:49:09.000They have a fifth of the votes in, 20% of the votes in, in North Carolina.
00:49:13.000And Trump right now has about an eight-point lead over Harris with a fifth of the votes tallied finally.
00:49:19.000Let's hit Georgia and it looks like we have Trump up with an 11-point advantage.
00:49:25.000That's with over half of the votes Presumably, if polling, which uses much smaller resources, is somewhat reliable, then when you've got like 50% of the vote in, that should be conclusive, shouldn't it?
00:54:27.000Is there anything in your mind that if you saw you would say, hey, this is going in the right direction for Trump?
00:54:33.000Mate, listen, I'm watching this like a person who's been dragged out of the United Kingdom, pummeled through several institutions of entertainment, has found a Lord and Saviour, and is now trying to observe ulterior movements politically while recognising that we are lost in eternity.
00:54:53.000I know from listening to people who provide this kind of analysis very brilliantly, like on your channel and over on Daily Wire and You know, even in spaces that are of a different political purview.
00:55:06.000The significant places appear to be Georgia and Wisconsin.
00:55:10.000But I'm watching the granular stuff now, Gerald, of people saying, like, sort of, Hispanics in Philadelphia have rolled up their trouser legs!
00:55:23.000Same election night victory speech, he mentioned the Republican Senate leader race as well, that he has thrown his hat into the ring here.
00:55:32.000Anna, thank you so much for being with us.
00:55:33.000Also, we do have some of these candidates stepping up to the podium at their election night watch parties as well, including Mike Braun, who's leaving the Senate.
00:55:43.000He's going to the governor's mansion there in Indianapolis.
00:56:53.000- I've been talking about Cubans quite a bit.
00:56:54.000My agent, Gay William, is Cuban-American, gay, and to the right of Attila the Hun.
00:56:59.000Cuban-Americans are a different breed.
00:57:01.000Let me ask her, your mom or your dad, when you were growing up, if you were sad or depressed about something, did they just tell you to get another job?
00:57:08.000- Yeah, they'd be like, listen, at least it's not communism.
00:57:45.000Russell, you obviously used to lean left, and I know that you're an independent thinker.
00:57:49.000I certainly don't want to mislabel you as more right-leaning, left-leaning.
00:57:54.000What do you feel is on the line tonight?
00:57:56.000Like, what sense of heaviness or consequence do you feel as far as this election?
00:58:00.000I'm trying to maintain a degree of sanguinity amidst the creeping dread, because if you watch something like Elon and Rogan and him saying this is a precipitous moment when it comes to democracy itself, or when you hear the histrionics and terror emerging or when you hear the histrionics and terror emerging from the establishment centrist left, it feels like it's nothing short of pivotal.
00:58:25.000And I wonder how we contribute, like those of us that operate in these spaces, Stephen, to this sense of beyond trepidation, real fear.
00:58:35.000And coming from someone who was like first a champagne socialist, then a cocaine communist, then a heroin anarchist.
00:58:44.000By the time I got to fentanyl, I couldn't have any politics at that point.
00:58:51.000I feel like, like, I was talking to Ruben earlier, and I was saying, like, I used to think that, like, Karl Marx was a genius, the idea that we should all share in a kind of brotherhood, that people are equal.
00:59:05.000And then over time, very, very slowly, because I'm a pretty slow learner, I recognised that if you grant the state the kind of power that our kind should only grant to a god...
00:59:16.000Then they will behave like a god, but a god without ethos, a god without true virtue or principles.
00:59:22.000One of the things I'm continually noticing is the way that you all report on hypocrisy.
00:59:26.000They're saying this, and they're doing that.
00:59:28.000Or maybe even something like the Nelk Boys viral post on X earlier of them sort of going to Kamala voter houses and saying, you know, we're going to vote for Kamala, we've got some refugees here.
00:59:40.000Like that kind of, that exposure of hypocrisy is at the heart of it.
00:59:50.000I don't, I now recognize that by granting the state incredible power, you are not going to create a better society because they have become corrupted and aligned with corporatism and globalism.
01:00:05.000The very first time I met you, I remember I said, hey, look, man, I hope you understand.
01:00:08.000I used to give you so much crap when you were on YouTube doing Trues News.
01:00:11.000And the thing is, I used to say that, I used to say, I just hope that Russell realizes, because I think his heart is in the right place, that he thinks the government is going to be altruistic.
01:00:19.000But once you realize that they're not, and that's what I used to say, there was never any hatred or animosity, because you have to understand, I grew up in a socialist province in Quebec, where I had experienced it.
01:00:28.000But here's one thing I will say, because I know that you've talked about, you know, not only your faith, and Gerald and I have been watching this in a Hmm.
01:01:53.000What I suppose is like the significant change since coming to Christ, since surrendering to Christ, since being grabbed by the throat by Jesus Christ, is that I no longer feel that I have to myself combine and align contradictory ideas.
01:02:09.000I'm living my life from a state of surrender, acceptance of my own limitations, and at my I'm the best, Stephen.
01:02:16.000I'm only communicating with an audience of one.
01:02:20.000Sometimes that's because of difficulties with the streaming and sometimes a big shadow banning on YouTube.
01:02:24.000But more generally, I'm talking to our Lord.
01:02:28.000I'm talking to our Lord when I'm failing.
01:02:30.000When I'm failing as a husband, when I'm failing as a father, when I'm failing as a boss, when I'm failing as a content provider, when I'm not polite enough on the street.
01:02:39.000When I know that I experience temptation, but I've always been open and authentic, and I've always been guided by these ideas, but in surrendering to Him, everything makes sense now, and now it is my purpose to, as best I can, share my testimony,
01:02:54.000to live my mission and my ministry, And to celebrate the triune God, being understanding of people that don't see the world that way, because for a long time I didn't see the world that way, and being patient, and seeing how it's going to be relevant in these spaces, and seeing how I can still muck about, man, and have fun.
01:03:12.000It's changed me pretty radically and pretty quickly, and it's changing me all the time.
01:03:17.000Well, it's great to hear, and I'm glad to hear you put it so authentically, because we unfortunately sometimes have people, you know, they convert, and then right away it's, and by the way, and everything that I did was wrong, and now I'm going to do it this way, and they right away go to telling everyone else everything is wrong.
01:03:30.000Look, if people want to count up the sins, they can just watch this stream tonight.
01:03:34.000That's why I always, if it goes to theology, I say, well, bring up Gerald, because he's basically an actual, he's basically an actual choir boy.
01:03:42.000Not actual choir, but the point is, like, he's as Boy Scout as you get, whereas, come on, No one's going to take it from me.
01:05:14.000So now Mug Club is being absorbed into Rumble Premium.
01:05:17.000So all those people are Premium members.
01:05:19.000We just made that announcement tonight where we've taken Mug Club as far as we can.
01:05:23.000And now Rumble Premium is going to be the overall network.
01:05:26.000Everything on Mug Club is now available to Rumble Premium subscribers.
01:05:29.000And tonight is the last night people can get the OG mug because Rumble Premium we know is the future.
01:05:35.000A one-stop shop where people have tip jar fatigue.
01:05:37.000You know, it's like they want to support creators, but we always envisioned a portal where they can support Keep me one of them mugs, will ya, before they run out?
01:07:16.000Yes, the Florida Governor, Ron DeSantis, was one of the first people to come out and say that both of these amendments had failed when we're talking about marijuana and abortion as well.
01:07:26.000Taking a look here inside of our social studio, I want to pull up For you, some of the tweets that we have been monitoring right now.
01:07:33.000Here's a look at that tweet from Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
01:07:36.000He says, with the polls now closed in Florida, Amendment 3 has failed.
01:07:42.000Again, one of the first people that we saw call this.
01:07:45.000But again, an additional reaction is coming in from the state.
01:07:49.000Take a look at this tweet there from Florida Representative DeSantis.
01:07:52.000He says, spent tens of millions of taxpayer money against abortion rights and legalizing marijuana.
01:07:58.000This criminal and abuse of state dollars must be investigated by the Department of Justice immediately.
01:08:05.000So, of course, that is, again, Representative Maxwell Alejandro Frost there in the state, upset at the way that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis went about going on a blitz to make sure that these amendments did not pass in the days before the election.
01:12:48.000I continue to think that our voting machines are too vulnerable.
01:12:50.000Researchers have repeatedly demonstrated that ballot recording machines and other voting systems are susceptible to tempering.
01:12:56.000Even hackers with limited prior knowledge, tools and resources are able to breach voting machines.
01:13:02.000In 2018, electronic voting machines in Georgia and Texas deleted votes for certain candidates or switched votes from one candidate to another.
01:13:10.000The biggest seller of voting machines is doing something that violates cybersecurity 101, directing that you install remote access software, which would make a machine like that, you know, a magnet for fraudsters and hackers.
01:13:23.000These voting machines can be hacked quite easily.
01:13:26.000You could easily hack into them It makes it seem like all these states are doing different things, but in fact three companies are controlling this.
01:13:34.000It is the individual voting machines that pose some of the greatest risks.
01:13:40.000There are a lot of states that are dealing with antiquated machines.
01:13:51.00043% of American voters use voting machines that researchers have found have serious security flaws, including back doors.
01:14:04.000We know how vulnerable now our systems were.
01:14:06.000I know the hackathon that took place last year where virtually every machine was broken into fairly quickly.
01:14:12.000I actually held a demonstration for my colleagues here at the Capitol where we brought in folks who, before our eyes, hacked election machines, those that are being used in many states.
01:14:25.000Aging systems also frequently rely on unsupported software, like Windows XP and 2000, which may not receive regular security patches and are thus more vulnerable to the latest methods of cyber attack.
01:14:38.000In a close presidential election, they just need to hack one swing state.
01:15:35.000And MSNBC. I want to see what MSNBC... I'll stop it to give us a chance, and I'll see what they're saying on MSNBC... Is that like, uh, is that what...
01:20:28.000That becomes increasingly historically interesting because in 2020 the share was roughly the same and Joe Biden only won that group of seniors by two points.
01:21:03.000So that's another state, essentially Wisconsin, looking like Michigan when it comes to senior voters who are a larger share of the electorate than those younger voters.
01:21:48.000...too thin, so I can't, I'm anticipating your next question.
01:21:51.000And I think, you know, the way to describe this, you know, and I think for many of us who have covered a number of these presidential elections and talked to the strategists on both sides...
01:21:58.000Hey, Beth in Wonderland, you enjoying this stuff?
01:22:00.000Hey, Negligent Banana, I'm so glad that you're here with me.
01:22:12.000That exit poll data shows that in Michigan, in Wisconsin, that she is overperforming Joe Biden among the plus 65 group, which is a reliable...
01:22:23.000In the over 65, like, I don't know, like, even in something that I know about a bit as a spectator, like football, when people try to make predictions based on, like, anything other than Manchester City are going to win this because they're Man City, it never, it never works out.
01:22:42.000And this, again, is why they've been so confident that ultimately they'd prevail in those big three states in the Midwest, is they knew, with elderly voters especially, they were going to do all right.
01:22:51.000All right, Ed O'Keefe and everyone, thank you.
01:24:10.000I hope everybody will vote a yes on Prop 1.
01:24:12.000And the ERA added to our U.S. Constitution as well.
01:24:17.000So other things that I hope we can work on in this next Congress, we need a national paid leave policy.
01:24:26.000We need to make sure that families don't have to make these tough decisions about caring for a child or a loved one and bringing home a paycheck.
01:24:33.000We have to make sure we keep supporting our work.
01:25:05.000We have to, as a nation, Figure out who we are.
01:25:10.000We are a country that used to love one another, that used to care about our neighbors, that treated others the way we wanted to be treated.
01:25:18.000We have to focus on all that is noble, all that is right, all that is pure and admirable, and we have to lift that up into our national dialogue.
01:25:26.000Now, I know you're thinking that's a lot of things to get done, but we are going to have a Congress to pass this agenda.
01:25:34.000Because of the work the governor Harmony Grove asks, that's a good rhetoric, and I was just thinking then while looking at her, I bet if you met her, she's alright.
01:26:11.000That we don't just live amidst the gross and material, but that there are subtler forces accessible to us.
01:26:20.000So whilst I respect those that can provide Experts and particular commentary on a significant issue like the American presidential election.
01:26:31.000Increasingly I find myself drawn to matters of spirit and perhaps that's natural as a newly converted person.
01:27:34.000Yeah, all eyes are on the Senate race.
01:27:36.000And real quick here, just because we mentioned them, no New York, Texas are not surprising, but nonetheless, they both carry a lot of electoral votes.
01:27:44.000So now that we see that New York is officially in.
01:27:47.000Is it literally grey on the West Coast because of the time, because of the way that the planet is rotating?
01:27:56.000Well, that's kind of lovely, isn't it?
01:27:58.000That in itself is a reminder of a deeper power.
01:28:02.000As the Earth spins and travels around the Sun, the light illuminates the East Coast first and travels across, illuminating and bringing light.
01:28:14.000It reminds me of when I visited Angola Penitentiary, Louisiana, and the Governor Burr Kane said the executions that he practiced in that prison were done at dawn, so that it was God that determined when those men would die, not him.
01:28:34.000I still felt there's been a judicial process that's led to them being in prison and there are a lot of questions to ask about the death penalty but nevertheless to be reminded by the change in colour of the map that there are greater powers at work is perhaps the kind of humility that we need to access on election night.
01:28:58.000We're starting to see this in play, especially working-class voters, working-class men.
01:29:04.000And that's a really big dynamic this cycle.
01:29:07.000Yeah, and just to set the stage here, Tom Loyanco with 24Sight is going to be with us throughout the hour, kind of popping in, reacting in real time to some of these results.
01:29:15.000Though we do have some live events going on right now.
01:29:53.000And when we come back new results CBS News America does Karen love adverts on CBS was excited to see that look Lauren Her own pocket she digs and she doesn't stop when she reaches the bottom of the pocket either She carries on right through the lining, and when she reaches her own skin, she digs a little deeper still.
01:30:19.000Then she moves through the sinew, the fascia, the muscular tissue, and the veins until she reaches bones.
01:30:27.000At that point, some Wolverine-like metal things come out of the fingers of this ordinary voter that I'm drawing attention to now, and it shatters through the thigh bone.
01:30:37.000And that is what will finally restore America to sanity, people's ability to reach through their pockets into their innermost being, and I mean their physical being, and dig out bone marrow with Wolverine claws.
01:32:28.000I actually read, I bought a book for my daughters about on the significance of the electoral college and it was the first time I'd understood it.
01:32:35.000We are looking at some counties specifically to keep our eye on but I want to share with you some information we just got from exit polls that show Harris is leading when it comes to voters 65 and older but when you look at the statistics or the numbers I should say that come in for those 30 and under Trump is actually leading in that demo so Something worth noting there.
01:32:58.000Of course, the votes are not all in, and we're still getting reporting from other counties.
01:33:03.000Three that just closed up actually at 9 o'clock this evening.
01:33:07.000But I want to talk about the counties to look for.
01:33:09.000Wayne County, one of the largest counties, and it includes Detroit and Dearborn.
01:33:14.000This is significant because Detroit, of course, has that large African-American population.
01:33:19.000And when you look at how that group turned out in 2008 for Obama, They set a record then at 5 million votes here in Michigan.
01:33:33.000And at that time, we saw about 53 percent of registered voters that came out in the city of Detroit.
01:33:39.000Wayne County's executive telling us within the last hour or so that he believes that number is actually going to be slightly lower when you look at the number of registered voters that came out.
01:33:53.000I like watching the regular TV and sort of analysing the data as it comes in and the sort of fixation that we have now that we have the capacity with statistical information at a granular level.
01:34:07.000You can see how it's affected sport, marketing, economics, and right now it's affecting politics.
01:38:13.000college in addition to the popular vote that takes place within each state each state has a number of electoral college votes delegates that are themselves forced to vote the way that the population voted so if you win the popular vote within the state those delegates go that way but there's a disproportionate number of delegates in each state that was established when those states were more sparsely populated
01:38:36.000so if you win the popular vote in california for example you get 54 votes, but if you win it in someone like, I don't know, Wisconsin, you get four.
01:39:00.000Kamala Harris is not performing as well.
01:39:02.000One of the emphasis of the Harris campaign to all of us leading into this election was how well they were going to do in suburban areas around large major metro areas.
01:39:11.000At least in Northern Virginia, that is not manifesting itself.
01:39:35.000And I am hearing from one source close to the Trump campaign that Trump is actually performing better two to four points in these rural counties in Virginia and North Carolina.
01:39:49.000Essentially, he's turning out his vote there, which blunts any advantage that Democrats have in the cities.
01:39:56.000It blunts that sharp bit at the bottom of Virginia.
01:40:00.000You see this bit that looks like a shoe?
01:40:02.000That's been blunted by rural voters and by like a mouse in a straw hat has nibbled it into a nub.
01:40:29.000Trying to recreate Governor Glenn Youngkin's 2021 effort, where he was able to really make inroads into the suburbs of Washington, D.C., in Northern Virginia, and convince them on the business front that Trump, the Republicans, are standing with those kind of voters.
01:40:45.000So they're feeling good about Virginia.
01:40:47.000Down in Mar-a-Lago right now, my top sources say they're feeling...
01:41:11.000Look, the numbers that we are seeing right now from Georgia and North Carolina really seem to show him running away with it down in the Sun Belt, okay, especially in Georgia, all right?
01:41:24.000Now, this is very tentative, but some of the early exit polls we have seen have shown Trump performing, shown a lot more men voters...
01:41:58.000Well, echoing kind of what Bob is saying there, you know, Trump campaign operatives here in the state are feeling pretty good about their positioning here, as well as the head of the Republican Party, Josh McCune, who we spoke to, head of some of these returns.
01:42:11.000And here is why, particularly in some of these outlying counties, kind of outside of the greater metro area here in Atlanta, places like Forsyth County, Cherokee County, that are typically part of that northern red wall as you get closer to the Tennessee border.
01:42:28.000They are overperforming, particularly in Forsyth.
01:42:31.000And that is notable because that is actually where former Lieutenant Governor Jeff Duncan is from.
01:42:37.000And as we know, the former Lieutenant Governor actually endorsed Vice President Harris.
01:42:42.000So, in that particular county, the Trump team is seeing much stronger numbers there than they did back in 2020.
01:42:51.000But overall, kind of to some of the broader points you've been making, their focus has really been on these rural counties really trying to drive the turnout there, targeting some of these low-propensity voters in particular.
01:43:03.000And so they do believe that that strategy is working.
01:43:06.000Also, Trump campaign operative told me they're feeling pretty good about their performance with African American voters, particularly African American men.
01:43:15.000They believe that they have been able to pick up support and see some gains in that demographic, although they don't have firm numbers there just yet.
01:43:24.000Now, in terms of talking to those with the Harris campaign and Democrats here in this state, they are continuing to keep their fingers crossed because they acknowledge and note that there are still a lot of outstanding votes out there, particularly in Democratic strongholds.
01:43:41.000Well, you know, like, sort of now, this has a particular timbre untone, doesn't it?
01:43:45.000Do you think there's going to be a bit, like in a few hours, where it all goes really mad, or a bit in 24 hours where it goes, oh, them voting machines?
01:43:56.000When voting machines are on the blink, is that going to happen?
01:43:58.000Because everyone's sort of perfectly reasonable and calm.
01:44:01.000Well, the black men in Delaware seem to be behaving in this way.
01:44:06.000Children, some of them up to nine feet tall, are pulling plants off of rooftops and using those to vote.
01:44:14.000It also seems quite whimsical and merry, but I've got a feeling it's going to go, or is it not?
01:44:38.000They were very clear that they like Kamala Harris and they dislike Donald Trump.
01:44:44.000I have been observing them, scrutinizing them.
01:44:47.000One fella, I'd looked up his trouser leg, and he had waxed his shins.
01:44:52.000They were all excited about the turnout as we've gotten deeper into the night.
01:44:57.000Some of those states didn't hit the projections they wanted to see, only by a couple of percentage points, and so the black vote, while it turned out...
01:45:50.000Anyway, really we are limitless consciousness created by a Heavenly Father occupying temporarily physical identities and in eternity there is no male, female or minion and there certainly is no sort of black Wisconsin voter or over 65s in Delaware.
01:46:09.000Let's start first with the blue wall, if you will, there.
01:46:12.000These are the states that the Democratic Party believes if they win all three of them, and the numbers show Kamala Harris would become the next president of the United States.
01:46:21.000At this hour, CBS News rates all three of those as toss-up.
01:46:28.000I went to school for journalism, and they're a toss-up.
01:46:32.000Pennsylvania takes much longer to count.
01:46:34.000Four years ago, we were all here until Saturday.
01:46:37.000They were saying it would be quicker this year, but we don't know yet because we know that polls are still open in Pennsylvania because there were long lines today.
01:46:45.000Now let's take a look at those Sun Belt states.
01:46:53.000Still that vote coming in, although officials had told us that we would have a lot posting.
01:46:57.000And I'm going to get to David Becker in a minute on that.
01:46:59.000And then in North Carolina, where I am hearing From a source close to the Trump campaign that he is doing well in the rural areas in North Carolina and Virginia.
01:47:11.000And so that is making them feel optimistic.
01:47:13.000And a reminder, North Carolina is the only of the seven battlegrounds that Trump won four years ago.
01:47:20.000David Becker, tell us where we stand now in terms of these battleground states and the vote count.
01:47:25.000So first of all, we should just mention it's only two hours and 40 minutes since the polls closed in Georgia.
01:47:42.000Remember, those polling places were ordered to stay open late in places like Fulton County and DeKalb County because of bomb threats and other issues.
01:47:50.000So, yes, it looks like about 4 million have been counted and reported out so far.
01:47:54.000So I think they're actually doing a pretty good job, and I expect that we're going to see that lion's share from the Atlanta metro area come in shortly.
01:48:01.000And as you know, in Pennsylvania, it's a little different because we've got those mail ballots, those 2 million mail ballots that they're working diligently to process.
01:48:08.000I don't think it's going to take until Saturday.
01:48:10.000But I think it will take a couple of days to get to the point where we know exactly who won Pennsylvania, depending upon the margin.
01:48:41.000...how pivotal control of the U.S. Senate is for the next president.
01:48:45.000If they want to get cabinet members confirmed, Supreme Court nominees confirm, who controls the U.S. Senate is everything.
01:48:52.000Senseless wars and the endless servicing of corporate interests and unelected bodies like NATO. You gotta have the Senate on board.
01:49:01.000Now the three-term incumbent Sherrod Brown is trailing early against the Trump-endorsed Republican challenger Bernie Moreno, a businessman from Ohio.
01:49:11.000Tart28, why are you watching CBS? CBS is doing good, I think.
01:52:17.000So in a strong sense, no matter if you get a Harris presidency or a Trump presidency again, it's not a guarantee that you're going to be able to move things.
01:52:27.000Now, where that comes into play is those nominations and whether you're able to get...
01:55:00.000Whether it's performative on purpose or whether he's just getting tired and, you know, worn out, whatever the reason, he's very transparent in his emotions and how he's feeling about things.
01:55:17.000Look, the early results that we're seeing, again, go back to the Sun Belt.
01:55:22.000It's about Georgia and North Carolina doing incredibly well there.
01:55:26.000And if these exit polls turn out to be correct with a larger number of men breaking for Trump, especially with minorities, Black and Latino voters, that gives a lot of confidence.
01:55:55.000That's not a condition of their voting.
01:55:57.000They don't even need ID. They're nude, and they're greased, and they're breaking for Trump.
01:56:02.000They're climbing over the fence at Mar-a-Lago right now.
01:56:05.000They're going into one of the buildings where they said he had stored files, and these men are very Latino and incredibly black, and they've broken for Trump, and they're going through those files, and it says that there's a plan to potentially start a war with Iran.
01:56:54.000Yeah, look, I'm not that tired, but we get kicked out of this building pretty soon, actually, because we're at the locals' building in Miami.
01:59:53.000...out of our country, and that's where we need to begin, and I stand by Donald...
01:59:58.000I mean, I thought BBC was going to be a sort of reasonable voice, or she's saying that immigrants have raced and murdered women across the country.
02:00:48.000What she said was the Harris-Biden or Biden-Harris administration's failed border policy.
02:00:54.000I mean, in your state of Texas and across the border states, do you think that this is going to be one of the main driving issues for voters?
02:01:04.000Well, I think the issue of the border...
02:01:35.000Just to have pure instinct, I nearly showed you one of my breasts.
02:01:39.000American citizens, not undocumented immigrants, a million American citizens who were deported.
02:01:45.000And so that's what Donald Trump is promising.
02:01:47.000And I assure you that there will be people, if that happens, if Donald Trump is somehow able to win tonight, there will be people in the real Grand Valley and relatives of theirs who will be wrapped up in that.
02:01:59.000Congressman, just one question on that, though, because the point that the Congresswoman from Texas as well was making there is that...
02:02:06.000...that we've seen record crossings across the southern border and that people don't trust this administration or Kamala Harris on this issue.
02:02:16.000Bribe security, says Pure Blood TV. Good idea.
02:04:42.000Yes, the manager asked us to inform him that at 10:00, because the problem is that we don't know the situation, that we can leave the building.
02:05:08.000This means that Latinos have broken very hard for Trump.
02:05:13.000Of course, we cannot conclude that this will mean a second Trump presidency, a 45-47 situation, nor can we fully trust this map.
02:05:23.000But we are doing our level best to let you know that whatever the result tonight, ultimately you will maintain sovereignty over your own being, your own capacity to sacrifice yourself for a higher cause.
02:05:36.000And remember, even people that disagree with you believe in what they believe.
02:05:40.000I pray with the same fervor, although some of my conversations this evening suggested otherwise.
02:05:47.000That's genuine journalism unfolding before your very eyes.
02:05:50.000We will be back for our show tomorrow at the usual time.
02:05:54.000And I hope that tomorrow we will wake up in an America that is free.
02:05:59.000And is bonded and unified and is not chaotic because, you know, I've got a feeling that it could sort of go crazy just from watching that stuff.
02:06:07.000It was all so sort of under control, but it had that sort of sense that it could go bananas, man.
02:06:14.000We'll be back tomorrow with the results of your election and speculation, philosophy, contemplation, and considerations of what it all means, if indeed it means anything.
