00:00:00.160 Kamala Harris was completely shocked by election night loss to Trump after she bought the hype. 0.98
00:00:05.960 Is this not the funniest thing, Rob?
00:00:08.120 Kamala Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz, were blindsided by their loss to Donald Trump in 2024
00:00:13.860 as detailed in fight inside the wildest battle for the White House by the people that wrote it.
00:00:21.780 Parnes told the podcast, somebody's got to win with Tara Palmieri.
00:00:25.500 She was completely shocked, and Tim Walz was shocked.
00:00:27.620 Walz was so stunned, he sat silently in his hotel room with staffers explaining the defeat
00:00:32.980 while Harris questioned, are you sure?
00:00:35.120 Have we done a recount?
00:00:36.500 Is this a Babylonian story?
00:00:38.140 Should we do a recount?
00:00:38.600 The campaign believed victory was a short, and Parnes noting they thought they were going to win.
00:00:44.040 Harris' confidence stemmed from misleading optimism within her team
00:00:48.700 as Parnes reported that some stuff felt gaslit by senior officials who claimed things were looking good.
00:00:55.480 Harris bought the hype, swayed by crowd sizes, fundraising success, and boots on the ground
00:01:00.840 with Parnes saying she bought all of that.
00:01:03.800 She bought the hype, and so did a lot of people in the campaign.
00:01:06.600 Tom?
00:01:06.820 Well, Pat, I thank you for when you challenged us to say, hey, let's do a 16-week series,
00:01:18.320 and let's look at these polls, and let's look at facts, let's look at numbers, and let's see what we can find.
00:01:22.980 And we saw polls that we saw where they were going.
00:01:26.560 We saw where the numbers were going.
00:01:27.660 We also saw and talked to friends inside the polling industry, people that have come out and talked to us,
00:01:33.080 that said that a lot of these pollsters milked the Democrat campaign.
00:01:38.260 $3 million a month polling contracts.
00:01:41.500 Hey, you're doing well.
00:01:42.380 You're doing great.
00:01:43.160 You know what?
00:01:43.840 More white men than you think.
00:01:45.600 Look what you're doing with the married Hispanics. 1.00
00:01:47.740 It's better than you think.
00:01:48.860 And how is it that people like Nancy Pelosi saw the car going over the cliff?
00:01:54.080 It was like the last scene in Thelma and Louise, and you've got Kamala Harris and Tim Walz holding hands
00:01:58.820 as the car is going over into the canyon.
00:02:01.540 That's what was going on.
00:02:02.980 Everybody knew it, and I believe that Tim Walz and I believe that Kamala were lied to
00:02:08.060 during the last lap of the campaign where people said it's looking good
00:02:11.300 because there was too much money to be made.
00:02:13.440 And do you remember what we all said?
00:02:14.940 Remember when the audit came out, the audit at the end?
00:02:18.580 And how much money was spent?
00:02:20.100 What did we say on this podcast?
00:02:21.980 How the hell did they spend that much money?
00:02:24.640 Remember this, Vinny?
00:02:25.680 We were all looking at that.
00:02:26.660 Well, guess what?
00:02:27.180 I'll tell you how they did it.
00:02:28.260 They paid a bunch of consultants that were looking at them and kissing them on the ear
00:02:32.480 and saying, everything's okay.
00:02:34.040 You got this thing locked up.
00:02:35.420 But they were cashing checks right up to the end.
00:02:37.480 And I believe that this shows, along with the book we just looked at,
00:02:41.540 just how divorced the Kamala Harris-Tim Walz campaign 1.00
00:02:45.040 and the bloodsuckers that were around it just making money on it 1.00
00:02:49.440 from the core Democrats, including Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama,
00:02:52.860 who were rubbing their temples, you know, sitting at their own kitchen tables saying,
00:02:58.040 man, this is going over the cliff.
00:03:01.020 They all knew it.
00:03:02.000 And that's what's going on here.
00:03:03.420 And it doesn't surprise me.
00:03:04.500 By the way, Tim Walz just sitting in a room, just shocks, not talking, staring at nothing.
00:03:09.920 That's a normal day.
00:03:10.800 That's a day ending in Y for Tim Walz.
00:03:13.180 But it's like, you know, so let's not be hard on Tim.
00:03:16.420 He's the person I'll tell you. 0.90
00:03:17.520 I was such a knucklehead. 0.89
00:03:19.060 Yeah. 0.95
00:03:19.220 So I think Kamala just genuinely hates people and being around people
00:03:22.900 and interacting with people that she considers regular people.
00:03:25.460 Because I think you have to like to speak to people and be around people
00:03:29.380 and be in front of people when you're running for president
00:03:31.140 and if you want to do something where you're serving people.
00:03:32.960 So I think that she was like so cut off and detached
00:03:35.820 and out of touch with like the average person
00:03:37.680 where she didn't interact with them unless they were like pre-screened
00:03:40.280 and like they had their pre-approved questions and everything.
00:03:42.780 So I think she was so cut off from reality with like the average person
00:03:46.020 that of course she was shocked.
00:03:47.400 She had no idea, like no perception of what the average person was doing or thinking.
00:03:50.840 And then, yeah, the pollsters.
00:03:51.960 We know the pollsters are fake.
00:03:53.840 I mean, like I've never been called by a pollster before.
00:03:57.060 I don't know anybody who's been called by a pollster before.
00:03:58.840 So I don't know like what kind of sample size these guys are getting stuff from.
00:04:02.420 But, yeah, it's not – I think both sides always think they're going to win
00:04:05.480 all the way down to the wire with any campaign.
00:04:07.140 So, yeah, I'm not surprised that she was shocked.
00:04:09.720 Well, Vinny.
00:04:10.120 Well, that's – and that's – never underestimate the power of the mainstream media as well.
00:04:16.180 Like you know she was watching and she was paying attention
00:04:18.320 and people are like, we got this.
00:04:20.240 And you have the backing of Barack Obama and their lovely marriage to Michelle Obama
00:04:24.860 constantly saying, listen, we're going to go out there.
00:04:26.820 We're going to tell – you know, we're going to rally up the troops
00:04:29.320 and we're going to tell the African-American community you have to vote.
00:04:33.220 Like if you don't, then, you know, you're ruining the rate.
00:04:36.340 You're not helping us.
00:04:37.980 And none of – everything fell flat.
00:04:39.980 And that's what you get when you have just people – like you say it all the time,
00:04:42.920 the flattery.
00:04:43.620 It's just killing people.
00:04:44.300 Like you got this.
00:04:45.540 We're going to win. 0.96
00:04:46.140 Nothing – he's not going to – he's a racist. 0.99
00:04:48.400 He's Hitler. 0.95
00:04:49.320 We're all going to say that he's Hitler. 0.98
00:04:51.000 We're all going to say that he's going to ruin the world.
00:04:52.720 And that's it.
00:04:53.660 And that's what you get when you listen to mainstream media
00:04:55.500 and you have people patting you on the back all the time
00:04:57.500 and you're not aware and you're not living in reality.
00:05:00.120 That's what happens.
00:05:00.880 That's exactly what the hell happens.
00:05:01.860 Adam.
00:05:02.960 I mean, I just – I'm picturing Tim Walls being like, what happened?
00:05:07.640 I thought we had this in the bag.
00:05:10.260 Knucklehead.
00:05:10.760 Are you – what?
00:05:12.440 This guy?
00:05:13.480 Yeah.
00:05:14.000 Gosh.
00:05:14.680 Give me one of them tampons from the bathroom.
00:05:16.120 It's unbelievable.
00:05:16.420 It's unbelievable.
00:05:16.500 My tears.
00:05:16.960 So, I mean, it just maybe just shows you how much politicians,
00:05:21.840 maybe even on both sides, sort of live in echo chambers
00:05:25.020 and you're being coddled and your handlers are kind of telling you
00:05:28.260 what you want to hear.
00:05:29.020 They're not necessarily telling what you need to hear.
00:05:32.060 They're not telling – they're not speaking truth to power
00:05:34.120 and they're sort of insulated.
00:05:35.960 I'm not shocked.
00:05:37.120 You know, nobody's shocked that they lost.
00:05:39.420 You know, it's like when Walter Mondale, I think, lost to Reagan.
00:05:42.680 I mean, I think 49 states to one, you know, Reagan just cleaned up
00:05:46.760 and the electoral college cleaned up across the board
00:05:48.720 and Walter Mondale just sitting there is like, what?
00:05:52.340 You're kidding me.
00:05:53.800 Look at this map right here.
00:05:55.600 And by the way, reference, Tim Walls, governor of Minnesota,
00:05:59.540 Walter Mondale, Minnesota.
00:06:01.300 There's a Minnesota – they're drinking the Kool-Aid over there, 1.00
00:06:04.240 but nobody was shocked to see that Trump won.
00:06:07.160 What we were shocked was that he ran the board.
00:06:10.500 Every single swing state, popular vote.
00:06:13.440 Now Kamala is a drunk person on the internet.
00:06:15.500 Are you a dog person or a cat person?
00:06:17.620 We know this guy is a cat person.
00:06:19.160 Adam, I have a special guest here today.
00:06:21.360 If you can bring him over here.
00:06:22.920 This is my number one therapist for the last 16 years next month.
00:06:27.320 This is our buddy Jimbo.
00:06:28.640 Jimbo.
00:06:29.480 Jimbo is going to be 16 years old next month.
00:06:32.300 And he's wearing – Jimbo, can we show off what you got on?
00:06:35.360 He's got a Future Looks Bright shirt back here.
00:06:38.620 And because it is – what is it?
00:06:41.780 The National Pet Day, Rob?
00:06:43.160 Can you pull that out?
00:06:43.860 Yes, Friday, National Pet Day.
00:06:45.500 National Pet Day is Friday.
00:06:47.320 We got this gear for you that our merch team thought it was a good idea.
00:06:51.620 Okay, I want to show you this.
00:06:52.760 So if you guys – honestly, if this sells out,
00:06:55.400 I'm going to personally give credit to the merch team to come up with these ideas.
00:06:58.420 And I will say this is their idea if it goes lights out, okay?
00:07:02.300 Now, what do we have here?
00:07:03.700 A few different things for you to pick from with Future Looks Bright.
00:07:06.960 Frisbee rope toy.
00:07:08.760 This is one.
00:07:10.020 We have this tennis ball – what does it say?
00:07:11.980 Tennis ball sling toy.
00:07:14.160 We have this other one.
00:07:14.940 This is sick, actually, if you look at it.
00:07:16.340 This is the biting, you know, the dog toy.
00:07:18.920 You know what the leash is that we got with Future Looks Bright on it
00:07:21.720 and bite him on it. 0.98
00:07:22.840 Gangster. 0.99
00:07:23.120 Gangster. 0.96
00:07:23.140 This is the gangster if you're from L.A., New York.
00:07:25.140 Maybe in Baltimore picked this up.
00:07:27.340 Yeah.
00:07:27.660 We got some of this stuff.
00:07:28.500 And on top of that, if you go – by the way, look at that Yeti one.
00:07:31.040 Can you zoom into that Yeti one?
00:07:32.860 Oh, that's awesome.
00:07:33.020 Is that like a Yeti dog bowl?
00:07:36.180 Yeah.
00:07:36.440 Look how sick that is with Future Looks Bright.
00:07:38.060 I saw Vinny drinking out of one of those this morning.
00:07:39.360 Every day your dog will be excited when he's going through this.
00:07:41.600 Go back, Rob.
00:07:42.540 So let's place an order on one of the things so they can kind of see.
00:07:46.000 Let's place an order on this, hypothetically.
00:07:47.880 If you buy this, watch what happens, okay?
00:07:50.080 So you buy this $15.
00:07:51.360 You add it to the cart.
00:07:52.580 Then it says here, are you Team Wolf or Team Meow?
00:07:55.920 So you're going to get a value team and mug that says Meow or Wolf, depending on if you're a dog person or a cat person.
00:08:04.360 Obviously, Adam goes with Meow and Vinny would go with Wolf.
00:08:07.100 But some of us actually like dogs and cats.
00:08:09.360 But anyways, if you got animals, if you got dogs, go place an order for National Pet Day, Future Looks Bright.
00:08:17.260 I never forget one of the shows I watch, cartoons, that it said All Dogs Go to Heaven with the character Charlie.
00:08:22.980 You remember that?
00:08:23.420 What a great movie, right?
00:08:24.700 Cry all the time.
00:08:25.200 If you love dogs, you got dogs.
00:08:26.480 Place an order.
00:08:27.080 Future Looks Bright, not only for us humans, but also for dogs.
