Deep Dive

Key Insights

Why is the election coverage so intense and analytical?

The coverage is intense because it involves a mosaic of disparate information from which people try to form pictures, and it's analytical due to the need for granular detail in understanding voter demographics and trends.

What are the key talking points in the election coverage?

Key talking points include the impact of social media, the role of big tech, the emotional quality of the event, and the significance of voter demographics in swing states like Wisconsin and Georgia.

How has social media influenced the election?

Social media has played a significant role in shaping public opinion and has been a platform for both mainstream and independent media to disseminate information and analysis quickly.

What is the significance of the Latino vote in Florida?

The Latino vote in Florida is crucial as it can significantly impact the electoral outcome, especially in key counties like Miami-Dade, where Trump is reportedly improving his share of the Latino vote.

Why is there a focus on voting machines in the coverage?

There is a focus on voting machines due to concerns about their vulnerability to tampering and hacking, which could potentially influence the election results.

How do the predictions for the 2024 election differ from previous elections?

Predictions for the 2024 election suggest a Trump victory followed by a period of tumult, with potential for riots, assassination attempts, and chaos, unlike the more measured outcomes of previous elections.

What role does faith play in the election coverage?

Faith is a recurring theme, with discussions on maintaining hope, the Christian perspective on the election, and the idea of staying connected to a higher power amidst the chaos.

How does the mainstream media coverage compare to independent media?

Mainstream media coverage tends to be more serious and analytical, focusing on demographic breakdowns and detailed statistics, while independent media offers a more emotional and reactionary perspective.

What are the concerns about the state of democracy in the U.S.?

Concerns include the inability to count all votes on election day, potential for extended periods of uncertainty, and the influence of big tech and corporate interests on the democratic process.

How does the coverage reflect the changing nature of political reporting?

The coverage reflects a shift towards more granular and analytical reporting, similar to sports coverage, with detailed focus on voter demographics and real-time updates on electoral trends.

Hey, hello there, you awakening wonders. Thanks for joining us for our election night watch-along special. It's already extraordinary. I'm watching like a bunch of other streams. I'm watching mainstream stuff. I'm watching independent media. What kind of...

It's difficult to discern anything. It's sort of quite serious, isn't it? And quite 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.

Before we get into what we're going to do, what I consider will be some of the fun is we'll watch. Hey, everyone, how's it going? You're right there. Judge Jesus, an alien from Mars and M.W. Klein. If there's anyone you want me to ring, we can ring people up and stuff. I'm going to be here for a couple of hours. I'm going to chat to a few people. I'm going to chat to Crowder. I'm going to chat to Ruben. Might ring some people up in England. Also, I'm going to watch...

like Fox and stuff and see what they're doing. So things are moving very, very fast. We are in a new hour. I'm Andrew Kraft. Thanks so much for being with us here. Did you say that you're called Andrew Kraft? Look at that. Like, look at how serious they are. Around some of these election night watch parties there for the Harris-Walls ticket and for the Trump-Vance ticket as well. We are getting some new reporting from Fox News Digital about how the Trump team is feeling at the moment. We'll bring that to you

It's funny when it says how they're feeling because we're already bringing an emotional quality to this particularly, hmm, what do I want to say, sort of statistical, I'm addicted to this drink, hmm.

statistical mathematical event I'm in Miami right now I'm trying to stay close to the Lord as the material world asserts itself let's have a look at this is one of my favorite moments and I'm sure yours too did you see this on X yet is Kamala Harris pretending

to call a voter, and do quite a good job of the acting actually, certainly better than the SNL sketch, before it ultimately becomes evident that there's no one on the phone. But is it possible for your phone to be on camera while you're receiving a call? Or is it flour? Let me know in the chat. Has that ever happened? If your phone is showing camera, is there any way that you could be on the phone? - Have you voted already?

Do you? Is that not legit? That's not good. It's interesting as well, isn't it? How trivia

has rushed to the forefront. Every single symbol or signal, a potential piece of information, because at the moment we're in a suspended and purgatorial state. And a lot of people that I know, that know a lot more about this than I do, think that we could be in purgatory for a little while. Have CNN started yet? Let's see what CNN has.

There's just some ballot boxes there. They've been filled in already and in advance. We'll be coming back to them over the course of the evening. You might have seen this as well. I suppose all of these things that I'm getting off at X are indications. I don't do maps there all the time. You'll understand that better than I do. I'm seeing such granular analysis when I was checking out Shapiro and when I was checking out Crowder. There's streams along the bottom. There's talk about...

cultural identities that are likely to be moved in Wisconsin. It's so granular and analytical. I suppose the way the sports coverage has changed, you know, the distance that someone has run or the passes that someone has completed, that applies now in politics, doesn't it? We have access to that sort of same level of granular detail. What did it make of this, though? Does this seem like the mass maneuvering of entire demographics? What I mean by that is that...

But 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. Think of how the world and in particular the political world and big tech have changed since then. What kind of relationships have they forged? What kind of deals have they done?

I'm drinking, uh, Monica Kovacs asked, what am I drinking? This is simply Top of Chico. I first saw it when Jordan Peterson came in to do an interview. He was drinking it and he did a very long, in fact, Luke, you should post that conversation. Like, did you see, like, like I'd had this mad long conversation with Jordan Peterson when he, uh,

when he arrived and he was drinking this drink and he used it as an example but he didn't do something about reality and grasping reality. You know, of course none of us know the moment I grasp this bottle the decisions made in my mind. I think he was making an argument about free will and all the time I was thinking what is that drink? And then I eventually drank it. Topo Chico. It's amazing. KP, last stop. Was Russell a P. Diddy White Party in 2019? You know I was. I was making a film with him getting to the Greek.

Diddy done about a couple of weeks on that film, maybe longer, maybe three, four weeks. So when you're in a movie, you hang out with people. And I did go to that white party and spent a lot of time talking to Tom Green. Do you remember Tom Green off of MTV? I was married then, so I think I was married in 2019. Like, anyway, certainly wasn't getting down with...

No freaky stuff. That was never my bag, man. I was always a, I would handle those matters myself rather privately through a little old thing called charm. Hey, let's have a, let's have a look at this. What I want to see here is how Google are apparently, this is, this is amazing if this is true.

it's my mic up on this uh isaac yeah like where to vote if you put where to vote where can i vote for harris it comes up like it gives you specific information where can i vote for trump it gives you a bunch of stories trump is a convicted that's amazing that's amazing that's going to be real as well and do you have you seen what 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. Now, 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 ultimately, what is he...

in this context other than a very rich person who is facilitating dissent in 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. Let's have a look on Green. This is an interesting point from Greenwald before we get into the meat of the matter. It continues to be inconceivable that the US, virtually all alone in a democratic world, cannot count all votes in the same night as election day. And if it's very close, may need days.

or even more than a week to determine the winner. Why are we being pre-bunked in this way? It seems like we're getting prepared for some stuff. Now, before we get into looking at Fox, a quick... Start out by asking Mr. Collins to come forward and give you a general summary of what has been going on today so you can have your more or less day's end update. Okay.

Good evening, everybody. I can talk a little bit more in detail about the incident with the individual at the polling location in a moment. Let me start off by saying it's obviously been no secret that this particular election was hotly contested throughout the entire election season. There was a lot of heated rhetoric. Passions were high. Given all of that,

We are extremely pleased with what we saw today. The 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? Like, now listen, I'm going to talk for a while about this. Someone who I think always necessarily, and I'm grateful for the fact, comes to the fore in moments like this is

Alex Jones not shy of making audacious and bold predictions. Check this out. This is the prediction. I think we got right now. You got me back. Trump is set to have a historic victory. They're going to try to contest it. They're going to try to kill him again. They're going to create pretexts and excuses for the left to riot.

You could take it less seriously if you didn't have video footage of that. Look, I know we've got footage of Alex Jones saying a lot of crazy stuff. Of course, he's a shamanic individual. But you can see him in 20, like, you know, prior to 9-11 outlining exactly what's going to happen. And, you know, here he seems very confident. Major Trump victory, 76 days of chaos, assassination attempts. And also he's lost a lot of weight. He's looking good, isn't he? Yeah.

It's going to be absolutely insane for the next 76 days after he is president-elect, but the fraud is not going to work. And when I saw this meme image today that's posted at Real Alex Jones, I said, this is a graphic image of

I love this because it's actually the silhouette of Donald Trump's hairline, which Alex Jones says is predicting a possible outcome. I think the cadence of voting, that's what I think he's saying, is that there's going to be a sharp incline that is going to flatten out for a while. It's pretty good. That accurately depicts my prediction for the 2024 election.

This represents my 2024 election outcome prediction. They are going to try the exact same thing. You'll see the same graph, but it will not go past the red line. It'll be a lot closer than it's depicted here. That's the. I actually don't understand Alex Jones haircut graph. In fact, like, can we get that in picture in picture? Is it because it too hard? I want to analyze it. Thank you.

See, thanks, man. All right. So what? So the blue vote, that's good. Like the Trump vote is going to escalate high and it's going to tail off on the

Kamala vote is going to sort of just make it over Trump's ear, have a sharp upsurge for a minute before leveling off across his forehead. I mean, if that is the voting pattern, I will see that as irrefutable evidence that Alex Jones is in touch with ulterior forces at an Ezekiel level. Closer than it's depicted here. That's the reality of what's going to happen. But it will not defeat Trump.

It will not defeat America. If 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. But you already see capitulations by a lot of the Silicon Valley people, not just Zuckerberg. They know the writings on the wall. Republican 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. They plan riots once he's president elect. We're not out of the woods. Oh, no. It's going to be mental, isn't it? Do you think it's going to be mental? It's going to be mental for a while.

Is this going to be when Peter McCulloch's wellness kit comes in all handy and we're going to want to stockpile ivermectin and, as I would say in my country, tins of tuna? Is this going to be a time when we're going to need an allotment? We've got Dave Rubin's coming on. I'm either going on Dave Rubin's show or he's coming on my... That is Dave!

There is Dave Rubin. He's introducing me. As soon as I hear him, we're just blending streams with Dave Rubin. I'm here to defend the laws of Florida. I'm here to strengthen the state. I'm here to govern properly. And that's what I'm going to do. And that's why so many people. So we can mute Dave till he, if you listen to when he intros me, we'll come on. I'm about to go on Dave's show. And so we're just, there he is.

So you can study Dave doing his show very professionally, looking very handsome, holding spectacles, got a piece of paper. We've got a map. Does that look like his intro to me? Stop talking there. I think he's intro me. Bring up his audio. He's talking to me. He is. Bring up Dave's audio, Isaac, for God's sake.

And bring down that map out of my face. I'm concentrating now. I'm with Dave. All right, Dave. Yeah, I hear you good, man. How's it going? Well, so far, so good. I just talked to Jordan Peterson. We did a little psychological analysis of the American electorate, and his main takeaway was that...

We're going to kind of be okay. But here you are. I believe you're in Florida right now, in the free state of Florida, and you've become quite an astute political analyst here in America.

Yeah.

They're texting. We're doing a major seven hour program here live. They're texting me things while I'm talking to you. Incredible. Listen, I can come on now. I can come on later. I was thinking because I'm only allowed here. I'm doing this from Miami, the local studio who started that company, by the way. There's some real charisma and sexual residue about the place. We're going to go to a tent.

And if you want, I'll come by your house, crash your back doors in, as we say in England, and march right onto the Rubin compound. But we're just like, you know, I'm just what I'm doing is watching bits of Fox, watching bits of CNN, talking to you, talking to Crowder. And really, I want to learn from you. Like last time I was in your country for an election, Barack Obama won. There was a lot of hope and change. And I bet that's what I bet you were still a Democrat then.

I was a Democrat. I voted for hope and change twice. And I regret it. I 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. Whoa. Whoa, that's pretty crazy.

That's pretty crazy. Did you see that we put under you? I don't know. Let's see if we can put it back up. I want you to be able to see that. Random, this is what the team put up. I did not give them this information. Random man who looks like Jesus.

I'm happy with that. I'll take that. I'll take that all day long. I'm trying to approach this from a Christian perspective. I'm trying to look at this election and think what's going to happen immediately after. Are we going to enter into the kind of purgatorial space that Alex Jones is predicting that there will be riots and assassination attempts and chaos? Or are we going to finally approach a moment?

of healing in your country. It's sort of difficult to imagine that because there's some weird ulterior sense of menace and I'd be very interested to hear what you and Jordan Peterson concluded and but first I'll let you know that I'm doing this whole coverage in a sort of Elvis Presley 1968 comeback special or full leather outfit.

That's the look I'm bringing all the way over from the United Kingdom. So I don't know, man. I don't know if you have... I'm watching...

Jordan'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, well, as he said, first off, the next election's only in four years, but really what he said was you still have autonomy over your life. You have autonomy over your family and your job, and yeah, they can hit you on every which way and every side of the whole thing, but there are some things that you control. I mean, in essence, it was clean your room before you clean the world.

We've all engaged in so much hyperbole on both sides. We all saw Elon Musk on Rogan saying if Kamala wins, like X is going to shut down, he's going to be foreclosed upon. Did 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. Because...

Yeah. And when Mike Bench, who I know you've spoken to, said to me, when people say democracy now, they don't mean a process of representative action.

electoral procedure, what they mean is a set of institutions that they're in control of, whether that's the media or the judiciary. And I've got to tell you, I am pretty scared. I 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. But it's difficult. Like we've participated, haven't we, in escalating this sort of hyperbole in this sense of tension, Dave, with our content?

I think about it. I think about it all the time. You know, look, I say some over the top things sometimes. Sometimes the sarcasm can be a little angrier maybe than I want it to be or something like that. In some ways, you know, to me, we're fighting something that is so deeply dangerous. That is the 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, which I undoubtedly have, I'm going to be

I think sometimes it's kind of, it's sort of why when people are like, oh, I like Donald Trump, I don't like the way he talks, that I find that that, it kind of runs thin with me at this point, because it's like, you got to fight however you can, something like that. I never saw that before. I thought that Marx was a genius. I felt like egalitarianism, the principle of equality was very important. I felt the biggest threat that society in the world faced was

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. Over time, I've come to realize that what the state has been trying to do for 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. Now, 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 process

we're all encountering. You'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 ass and shoots your squirrel. Like, it's pretty, it's gone.

out of control, man. And like what I'm starting to see is that social democracy leads to totalitarianism unless the state is minimalized. But, you know, I still think you've got to work out how to take on massive corporations with nefarious goals. But I don't think it's by empowering the state because they're too lined up with them. Are you hopeful tonight? Are you? Where are you at in terms of just pure, just pure hope of that this thing will whatever, whatever goes, what goes right means to you that it goes right and

And that we can get out of some of this. I'm so easily, the problem with me is I'm a pretty impressionable person. Like, so if I like sort of what, look, if I'm going for my X feed and I sort of see you being optimistic and then see Tucker being optimistic, then I'll be like, okay, yes. But then if I watch something else and I see like 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. I start to get concerned because I truly believe I watched your videos, a 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. This is not Trump of 2016. Look at what's happening with surveillance and censorship and the degree of control that's being asserted in the name of protection. Look at the shallow vacuity of these cipher candidates that they're putting up before us. I thought it was a brilliant video. I thought we did a great job of that. Do I feel hopeful? I'm too easily swayed. I could over the course of these two hours, and this is without drink or drugs, there could be points where I'll be ecstatic and other points where I might cry.

Are you planning to drink, Dave?

Well, 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? I 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. I was really hungry. And in my mind, I was thinking the food's coming. I was preparing some steak. And I was like, oh, yes, this is going to be so sick. I can't wait. I can't wait for it. And then Dave puts too much

pepper on the top of the steak. I put it in my mouth and like someone was talking to me and like, so I like, I had to continue a conversation. I swallowed this bit of, I swallowed this bit of steak and it was, it was in my throat and I was like, oh no, I better grab a drink and the drink I grabbed was probably Dave Rubin's own brand of tequila to a massive like slug of it and felt like, it begins, it begins.

begins. I saw my wife and everyone's sort of like, no, no, strap him up, strap him up. But luckily I have survived. I'm addicted to this now. Topo Chico, it could be worse than that. But yes, you took like two big gulps of tequila. You've been in recovery for something like 23 years, something like that. But you did some breathing exercises and here you are in Florida, flourishing, doing amazing. And I have no doubt that I will see you in the next day or two, my friend.

Hey, thanks for coming on. Good luck with the rest of your night or blessings for the rest of your night. I hope it goes the way you want. Love you, bro. Same to you, babe. See you now. I mean, normally when you say that, you've got a few seconds to compose yourself. But actually, you know, we're streaming as well. Hey, Luke, if you're watching, I think that joke about the squirrel was good. That was a good thing to post on X. So that's the out. They come around and shoot your squirrel. That's the out. And then go back.

As far as you need to for that joke to make sense. Probably it's only about two minutes. All right, man, then post that on X and Instagram and stuff like that. Should we want to watch a bit more? Should we see what they... Oh, don't tell me CNN started. Don't tell me. Don't tell me.

CNN, come on now, we're taking ourselves so seriously. CNN, oh, come on now, we're looking at these voting booths. CNN, come on down, we're taking life so seriously. They're just doing what we do with no sense of humour. That's no good. That's not entertainment. That's not even television. I won't stand for it. Let's go back to Alex Jones. Will he still be where we left him? Or do I need to fire up that asset, baby? Play and it will be Alex Jones. We're not out of the woods yet, but the big deal...

battle to wake people up and to have them rebel against the system mentally and not be bullied, to not let the left in Hollywood program you and control you and dictate to you and bully you is over. And it's global. The tide turned a few years ago, but now the giant waves of awakening are smashing the globalist system into little pieces of driftwood. Now they're going to strike back.

But you can see it. You can feel it.

...off-light promotions. You're going to be okay, Russell. You'll be protected. Yes, thank you very much, man. Thanks for saying that. I thought you were a vegetarian. Marto, 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. If you're watching us on YouTube, we'll be with you for a couple more minutes. We're going to be keeping it up.

I, on the mainstream, on this, are we going to call it a historic night? It's historic in the sense of America and human civilization, in the sense of the limitlessness of endless cosmoses. It's actually not very, it's not important in that context.

I think it's very significant that we're able to bear in mind right now that we are amidst the infinite and only one entity is beyond eternity. Only one triune deity saw Satan fall from heaven like lightning. And that's why we've got to stay connected to that.

And that's why I'll be reporting on this significant night in American culture. All things are contextual. Russell, show me your love muscle from Sonny Margate, says SausageJockey478. That I will not do. That I will not do. Gotta be cautious, baby. I will be reporting on the American election in Elvis Presley 68 Comeback Special 11.

full leather attire. Let's have a look at consumer 224. What's the YouTube email you're in contact with? You can't get through to YouTube. You'll never feel more like you're in an Aldous Huxley novel than if you try to communicate with YouTube directly. What 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...

corporatist anodyne astringent power that we fear will take over the world. Let me know in the comments and chat, do you believe that the greatest dread we know is that the world will become a kind of airport everywhere you go, shoes off here, sir, not for reasons of sanctity or sanity or even hygiene, but because constant control is being asserted. Walk through this, we've just got to check what you are doing.

whether you're carrying any devices everywhere you go will be like an airport constant and continual troll control if you're watching us on youtube we'll be there for a minute but you know we want you to join nathan ryan jude ah what happened it was tell me tell me so then i know that it won't happen again it was a setting that glitched out when we were flipping through

Cool, cool, cool. Let's see what they're doing over... Hey guys, we're just... Sorry, thanks for staying with us there for a second. We're going to be on YouTube for about another 10 minutes. I'm not going to stay on YouTube until as long as they'll let me. How you doing, baby? I'm going to... Yeah, stay away from that holding card, honey. Let's have a look at... Let's see what CNN are... CNN doing their serious thing. Let's see what...

Yeah, OK, they're playing adverse. Oh, here's my man. Sue, live now from Fox. I'm Andrew Craft. We are at the bottom of the hour here on this election. Don't laugh at his name. 8.30 there on the East Coast as we continue to track some of these results and bring you these live events, live, raw and unfiltered here. We do have this as well. This is a live vantage point inside of...

Senator Rick Scott's election night watch party. We're expecting Scott very, very soon here. You're getting nowhere near Senator Rick Scott. That guy's got a lot going on. 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. You 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. Nice. Okay, Rick Scott, the Senator for Florida. There's a lot going on, isn't there? There's a lot of things to...

You know, there's Senate. Is it all the whole thing simultaneously? You've got so much to determine in your crazy country. Okay, 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. Have a look at this. Hello. How we doing? Can I get the first three letters of your last name? Uh, yeah, H-E-N. And the first three letters of your first name? J-O-R. It may be my... That may be correct. And your house number? Uh, it may be...

Can you confirm your year of birth? It might be 1985. But it might not. I'm gonna cancel your vote by mail. Is your birthday 1985? It might be. I mean, yeah, but it might not be. Well, what is your birthday? It's 1985. I'm just saying it might not be. You can't verify it. But I'm just telling you it is.

Okay, you're going to sign an oath. You're okay with that? Yeah, yeah, I'm going to sign it off. And it's 1985. Yeah, it's my birthday. Great. I'm just saying, it might not be. You can't see my ID, right?

You could just verify my ID, right? I mean, I take your word for it. It's California. Exactly. So it might be. It might not be. Yeah, I'll sign my oath. So I just want to ask a quick question, Susan. She asked him. She's a student. I get it. She asked him if his birthday was 1985. And he said it is. It definitely is. And he says it might not be. But it might not be. What does that mean? I don't know. Do you want to verify it?

Well, I'm just asking. So you don't ask them if this is their date. You ask them the year. Yes, I did. It's 1985. It is. Okay. Might not be, though. That's fine. If you're saying it's 1985, you're going to sign. It just might not be. You can't really verify it. It checks your signatures. Yeah. Okay, I accept. A lot of people in the chat, that's crazy, and it's mental, are saying that Harris is winning Texas. That can't be true. Can it? Let's see if Fox... ...on the campus of Howard University here...

What does Harris need to do if she has the momentum to maintain that momentum? And what have they done in the last four or five days to shore up any support here?

Yeah, what the Harris campaign has done is it's very similar to Trump's, but they had the closing message at the Ellipse on Tuesday. Sorry to cut you off here. We do have Rick Scott. We've got Rick Scott, Anna. So it is about our priorities. Why are you talking about the big nose joke in life of Brian? Let's see Rick Scott's speech. I'm in Florida, so I'm going to be double respectful. And for once, we did it before midnight. I want to thank God.

I want to thank my beautiful wife who put up with me, my wonderful daughters, Alison and Jordan. Alison and Jordan. And their husbands, Pierre and Shane, and my perfect grandsons. That's a nice family moment there. That's so cool. So, and guess what? We won Miami Dade. So I think we won every constitutional officer.

Down there, we have a new sheriff, Rose. Hey, if you're watching us on YouTube right now, get over and watch the coverage on Rumble. Bongino's up. Crowder's up. There's a lot of live streams covering this, a variety of different content available to you on Rumble. I'll be chatting to...

Crowder a little later. Minikovacs, can we pray? You better believe we can pray. Heavenly Father, God. Oh no, stay a bit longer actually. We're going to stay a little longer on YouTube. I'm just letting people know. We're going to leave that count. Listen, you've got plenty of time.

See that count there? Take it down, Isaac. It makes people, it's enervating. Well, once it's up, I hope that this nuclear button doesn't have that capacity. Well, no sort of ability. We're staying here, YouTube, all right? Look, we're still here. It's a countdown. We're free. We don't need to be governed by that. We've been asked for a little prayer. I'm going to do a little prayer. I'll be very clear with cues, baby. You'll know. All right. Heavenly Father, Lord, please we ask.

In fact, first let's start with some thanks. Thank you for the glory of creation. Thank you for the miracle of consciousness. Thank you for the ability to operate in the field of language. Thank you for relationship. Thank you that you are a triune God, that you are three gods in one personhood, three elemental forces: H2O frozen, H2O as vapor, H2O as liquid, one God in three forms. Heavenly Father, thank you for the relational component

that shows us and teaches us that in relationship we can love one another. And 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. And we ask, Lord Jesus, if you will be present with all of us

tonight. Lord, even those that have not yet accepted you, we ask that they may feel your presence. And 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. Lord, it feels so frequently disordered

that order merely rests upon chaos, that temporary human life rests upon death, that the city rests upon the rubble it will one day inevitably become. But though the temple may be reduced to rubble, it can be rebuilt in three days. Lord, 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.

I 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. This we pray in your name. Amen. In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Let's have a look at what's going on. People need voter maps and need them now, says WSP. Let's bang up that voter map again. Let's stick it on there. You know, that wasn't causing us any problems. Right, don't worry. Everything's NPC grey. We're under complete control. I see a lot of things have been...

a bit i just saw yeah i'm going to be on crowd i will be on there i will be on there in a minute when he sort of gets through listen let's have a look see if cnn what they're doing

CNN. That's actually the most authoritative and authentic coverage I've seen on there. Are you sure, Isaac? That's all they're going to do? They're just going to do that all evening? Let's see what Fox has to say. That's unbelievable. The conversation, yet again, Austin Westphal and Anna Gier. And I think that Andrew Crapp's being put under too much pressure on Fox, if you ask me, as well. ...that we want to make as well. We just brought you that New Jersey going for Vice President Kamala Harris. Remember, there's a Senate race there we're watching. Let's take this. All

All right, so Congressman the Democrat Andy Kim beating Republican Curtis Bashaw there in New Jersey. And this race just called by the Associated Press with around 28% of estimated votes counted. Remember, 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. He gets sentenced on those convictions.

come January here. Andy Kim will replace Bob Menendez there in the Garden State for the Senate seat. Democrats keeping the seat there in New Jersey. But we also have some race calls coming in on the presidential level as well. For Vice President Kamala Harris, we brought you Delaware for her. We brought you Maryland for her. We brought you New Jersey for her. Take a look at this there in the Garden State. Harris beating Trump in New Jersey. New Jersey is solidly blue, solidly Democratic.

I believe, okay, also we do have a race call. Let's go to Illinois right now. 19 electoral votes there in Illinois. Going to Kamala Harris here. She bested Trump there, 56 to Trump's 43, with 9% of estimated votes counted there. So you see the tally in the lower left hand of your screen there. That's the electoral college. Remember the number, the magic number is 270. Harris has 71 right now.

Trump with 101 here, bringing Anna and Austin back in here. Austin, we'll start with you. So we got an updated electoral college tally. Still no surprises there. That was to be expected, right? Yeah, no surprises so far. Let's take a look at our bar. It's been filling in 71.

This is what I live for, I live for this. With 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. Let's very briefly just look at what little information we have out of Michigan. So with 7% of the vote in so far, we do see Harris with a 14%.

Advantage in Michigan, Pennsylvania only 12% of the votes have been tallied so far and right now Harris has a sizable lead Looks like she's got a 40 point lead right now that very well could be one of those blue mirage Situations that we were just discussing very early on in the tabulation Cycle North Carolina. Let's go to the Tar Heel State here. Let's see what they're working with They have a fifth of the votes in 20% of the votes in and

in North Carolina. And Trump right now has about an eight point lead over Harris with a fifth of the votes tallied finally. Let's hit Georgia. And it looks like we have Trump up with an 11 point advantage. That's with over half of the votes tallied. So Trump with an 11 point lead in a battleground state. We don't know exactly which-

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? This state has been called. Georgia was so important. It actually had a record number of early voters. It was so robust that a top official told the Associated Press that the big day could look like a ghost town at the polls.

Biden became the first Democrat to take that state since Bill Clinton in 1992. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out, guys.

And Anna, of course, you've spent so much time in Georgia this cycle. Let's talk about it. You saw the vote spread there between Trump and Harris. A little over half of estimated votes counted there in the Peach State. I want to focus our efforts on Harris, too, because we've been showing a lot of the Trump election night watch party. This is the Harris night watch party right now. It looks to be quite raucous there. A lot of performances.

at the moment on the campus of Howard University here. So if you could, Georgia first, and then what are we seeing right now? In Georgia, you know, I was at a bowling site today and Georgia has 150... We're going to go on Steve Crowder's show in a second. And so I'm just going to do it on the phone because we can't sort of wire it through. So stay with us. We're going to carry on doing this and I'll just talk to Steve Crowder later.

while I do this. This is election night, okay? How do you see that? How is the Harris campaign? Yeah, definitely. Yeah, I'm pressing stuff. The most... Good Fox YouTube. Have you mixed this? Because I'm doing this on a phone. So that he can come on and hang out with us. So we'll talk to him.

I should say Pennsylvania's makeup of Puerto Rican isn't high compared to other states like New York and Florida. But it's something that they... So if I say Fox Pipp, honestly that might... From what I've been told, I don't know if that's correct. This incendiary remark...

So we've got it rally in Madison Square Garden a couple weeks ago. And you're right, Andrew, they've they've continued to hit on it again and again and again and play the racism card. And, you know, will it work or not? You know, it's going to be interesting to see the exit polls among Hispanic and Latino voters.

Even if you get really into the weeds and look at Puerto Ricans and see, did that move the needle at all? I think people's minds were already made up before that comment was made. Anna, we were speaking earlier about the Senate and the balance of power in the Senate. We saw the race being called for Rick Scott in Florida. He's somebody that's thrown a hole.

Hold on, let me go fox picture in picture. Hold on, let me go back to me. Here I am. All right, everyone, I'm just talking to Gerald from Louder with Crowder. Many people think that Gerald is the true mastermind behind Louder. I don't think that's true. A lot of people like you. Don't be harsh on yourself, especially not on election night. Absolutely. What are you watching for right now? Is there anything in your mind that if you saw, you would say, hey, this is going in the right direction for Trump?

Mate, 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. I 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, that the significant places appear to be Georgia and Wisconsin. But I'm watching the granular stuff now, Gerald, of people saying, like, sort of, Hispanics in Philadelphia have rolled up their trouser legs. Like, you know, like...

Oh, no. Is that good? Are we on? Same election night victory speech. He mentioned the Republican Senate leader race as well that he has thrown his hat into the ring here. And thank you so much for being with us. Also, 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. He's going to the governor's mansion there in Indianapolis. Let's listen.

I think it was up at the Moontown Brewery that we celebrated. And the journey that I've been on over the last seven years, most people would think you'd been crazy to do it in the first place. Dear, what do you think about that? All I can tell you is seven years ago in August, when I declared to run for the U.S. Senate, there weren't many believers. And even...

folks close to you wondered did you really have a game plan well my game plan and you're at your state side right now right yeah i'm in miami right now and i'm watching hispanic voters hold on there's two there's two hispanic voters oh no there they are hispanic jewish voter catholic voters those are killed because they don't weep

Are they Cuban-Americans? Cuban-Americans. One's a Cuban-American. Argentine. Argentine. I talk about Cubans quite a bit. My agent, Gay William, is Cuban-American, gay, and to the right of Attila the Hun. Cuban-Americans are a different breed. Let 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? Yeah, they'd be like, listen, at least it's not communism. Come in, come in. Come right into the picture in picture. That's what it is. You can come right in.

Exactly. They're like, anything is better than communism, so you can't complain about anything. Yes, yes, that's exactly right. And what is it with Cuban women being beautiful and being friendly and not being offended like us Westerners? I say it all as a compliment. You mean like gay women in this country? Oh, jeez. Sorry. Russell, that's Nick DiPaolo, if you're not familiar. Hi, Russell. How are you? All right, mate. I am familiar with you. I see you on Loud and Crowder all the time. It's good to meet you properly. Yep.

Same here, sir. And what are you, how much, because I know that, Russell, you obviously used to lean left, and I know that you're an independent thinker. I certainly don't want to mislabel you as more right-leaning, left-leaning. How do you feel?

you feel is on the line tonight? Like what sense of heaviness or consequence do you do you feel as far as this election? I'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 histrionic

and terror emerging from the establishment centrist left. It feels like it's nothing short of pivotal. And I wonder how we contribute, like those of us that operate in these spaces, Stephen, to this sense of beyond trepidation, real fear. And

Coming from someone who was first a champagne socialist, then a cocaine communist, then a heroin anarchist. By the time I got to Fentanyl, I couldn't have any politics at that point. I feel like...

I was talking to Rubin 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 and then over time very very slowly because I'm a pretty slow learner I recognize that if you grant the state the

kind of power that our kind should only grant to a god then they will behave like a god but a god without ethos a god without true virtue or principles one of the things i'm continually noticing is the way that your report on hypocrisy they're saying this and they're

doing that or maybe even something like the Nelk Boys viral post on X earlier of them sort of going to sort of Kamala voter houses and saying you know we're going to vote for Kamala we've got some refugees here like that kind of that exposure of hypocrisy is at the heart of it I want to

become like a good person. I want to live a virtuous life. I 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.

I hate to interrupt you, but because, you know, and I've been very, the very first time I met you, I remember I said, hey, look, man, I hope you understand. Like, I used to give you so much crap when you were on YouTube doing Trues News. And 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.

thinks the government is going to be altruistic. But once you realize that they're not, and that's what I used to say, there was never any hatred or animosity. Because I grew up in a socialist province in Quebec, where I had experienced it. But here's one thing I will say, because I know that you've talked about not only your faith, and Gerald and I have been watching this in a truer conversion I don't think we've seen in the public eye, even though I know you keep a lot of it private. And we've had private conversations.

They will use this against you and they will say, really? And they'll point to the hypocrisy and it is true. Everyone is a hypocrite, but let me tell you what I believe is the primary difference. And tell me if you give this some credence. For example, I think pornography is bad. I would be lying if I said I've never seen porn. I would be lying if I said there's no sexual temptation. I think that imbibing too much alcohol is bad.

Hmm.

that they say, hey, look, we don't have a problem with migrants. Yet every single time they go anywhere near the border, they have an entire security detail. So it's not, are people hypocritical? People can be hypocritical because they fall short of standards. People can also be hypocritical simply because they're lying and they don't believe in those standards at all. And I just say that because it's the first thing they'll throw at Christians, and it's true. Every single Christian is a hypocrite. Difference is, does someone believe it?

Yeah, that's fair. That's some good analysis. What 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. I'm living my life from a state of surrender, acceptance of my own limitations, and at my

best, Stephen. I'm only communicating with an audience of one. I'm talking to Jesus. Sometimes that's because of difficulties with the streaming and sometimes I'm shadow banning on YouTube. But more generally, I'm talking to our Lord. I'm talking to our Lord when I'm failing, when 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 creator.

when I'm not polite enough on the street, when 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,

to 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. And so, you know, so that is this changed me pretty radically and pretty quickly and it's changing me all the time.

Oh man, well that'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. Look, if people want to count up the sins, they can just watch this stream tonight. That'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. Not actually a choir boy, but the point is like,

He's as Boy Scout as you get, whereas come on, no one's gonna take it from me. Let me ask you this, Russell, where's your gut telling you tonight? And we're just doing this, everyone, what's your prediction as far as how this turns out?

Well, my prediction is only based on listening to the predictions of people that know more than me. But it seems like a Trump victory followed by a period of tumult. But don't you still, in spite of your position, try and consume media that's, you know, contrary? And you, like, you know, are they confident? Are they falling apart? I can't tell.

Yeah, it's a little too early for them to tell, but I will tell you there's not the same confidence. There's less confidence tonight than they certainly even had in 2016. And that was one that was a shock to all of us. So it's a good point. We do have the leftist meltdown alert. We have an entire team back there looking at numbers and also watching their streams. I expect when we get to the swing states, that's when you're going to see things get pretty wild and woolly.

And we have some real nerds working back here. And I mean that as a compliment, but real, real nerds and some granular data. And hey, Russell, I know you've got a lot to do tonight, so where's the best place for people to find you and support you? Find me on Rumble, the same as you, but we're in the same place. We're working on this together. Get Rumble Premium if you don't got it already. And I mean, you don't need me to tell you that the Mug Club is a fantastic place to hang out. I'm on Rumble streaming right now. The announcement.

tonight. Mug Club is Rumble Premium. Rumble Premium is Mug. So now Mug Club is being absorbed into Rumble Premium. So all those people are premium members. We just made that announcement tonight where it's we've taken Mug Club as far as we can and now Rumble Premium is going to be the overall network. Everything on Mug Club is now available to Rumble Premium subscribers.

And tonight is the last night people can get the OG mug because Rumble Premium, we know, is the future. A one-stop shop where people have tip jar fatigue. You know, it's like they want to support creators, but we always envisioned a portal where they can support a multitude of creators and also get something that's of value, like ad-free. So we'll be under the same umbrella. Keep me one of them mugs, will you, before they run out? Yes, I absolutely will. All right, man. For your wonderful Cuban-American... There they are! It's amazing.

I'm telling you, Russell, you're going to have to tell that one to go home because she will work all night. I know. They never stop. I'll just put on a Che Guevara t-shirt and chase her the hell out. I'm going to dress like Trudeau's dad. Hey, Russell, thank you, brother. We'll talk with you soon. Have a great night. Peace. Take care. See you guys. Bye-bye. Thank you.

Hey, sorry you guys, I was really focused on that, wasn't I? But it was compelling. Let me see what's going on on Fox, right? Of course, the overturn of Roe turned... How are we doing with our Fox? ...types of decisions to... Is that based on the... ...state. We will, of course, work to get that graphic updated. I think we had some other propositions... ...train on me for a minute, and then will you just see if you can get audio out of that one?

Yeah, that was pretty interesting, wasn't it? If you don't vote, you're essentially voting for God and an afterlife. The Trippie Hippie Emporium. I bet the four dislikes are... Ah, cool. Trump... Ah, just called Trump winning Florida. That's got to be on Fox, isn't it? Let me have a look. It was needed for these to pass here. Well, our colleague Christina Evans, she's tracking some of the reactions to the failure of some of these proposals on social media. Christina, what are they saying?

Absolutely, Andrew, you pointed it out. Yes, the Florida governor Ron DeSantis was the 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. Taking a look here inside of our social studio, I wanna pull up for you some of the tweets that we have been monitoring right now. Here's a look at that tweet from Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. He says, with the polls now closed in Florida, Amendment 3 has failed, Amendment 4 has failed as well.

of the first people that we saw call this. But again, an additional reaction is coming in from the state. Take a look at this tweet there from Florida Representative DeSantis. He says spent tens of millions of taxpayer money against abortion rights and legalizing marijuana. This criminal

and abuse of state dollars must be investigated by the Department of Justice immediately. So, 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. Here's also some results. I will baptize you. There's some people who want to get baptized.

Come to Miami. The baptisms are flowing fast. Of course they will. And we want to help people to realize that those expectant mothers who need help will still be able to get it. So just some of the reaction that we're now seeing come in on social media in response to these amendments failing. Again, with the Florida governor, Ron DeSantis. Let's have a look what's going on.

on x right now so isaac's gonna scroll is it's my feed is it oh yeah look at this this is good look i like this can we do pip with x trump is up 11 points in the latino miami yeah keep just scroll um as if you were on your phone thanks man and stop it if i say you want to yeah that's good that's good don't worry go full screen with it it's okay let's have a look

Yeah, go up it. Could you go up it a bit faster? A little that way so I can check it and stop you if I see something interesting. Right, stop on Glenn Greenwald there. NBC's Steve Cohen has shown that Trump's significantly improving his share of the Latino vote in Key, Florida County. But hasn't Florida been called for trial? Is that updated, that feed, right to the moment? Updated right to the moment, like, you know, refresh it. Yeah, well done.

Yeah, that's good. That's good. Couldn't I have someone else doing this like couldn't Taylor do this? Okay Okay, and but can I know can you go refresh the Twitter page because this might be Twitter an hour ago? Like press home on Twitter so they goes to the very top of Twitter what we're seeing right now cool. Nice one, man Nice one. Yeah. Oh, oh no, that's unfortunate. Oh

What's going on there? What's Roseanne saying? I hope when RFK takes over health industry, you remove soy and plastics from food supply. She don't play, Roseanne. Let's see what Dave Rubin's saying. You're morally required not to lose hope.

You're morally required, you know, to not lose hope. You're required morally to maintain faith in the future regardless of the evidence at hand. There he goes. American Values. RFK Jr. just gave an inspiring election night speech at the American Values Gala when speaking about his growing relationship with Trump. He recounted the time that Donald Trump took out a pen and drew a map of the Middle East from memory.

Sight in the troops. That's pretty good. That's pretty good. That's rude their rest of that the strew the The strengths of each region. Here's an incredibly granular understanding of the issues nice nice Elon Musk saying the prophecy has been fulfilled blink and you missed it. So what I wonder what what's that day? I was that referring to do you know he's referring to there? I think that's like Polly marketer

69.9. Okay, and then our little map there is reading in right up. I'm going to go over to see what... I mean, CNN. I don't think CNN are putting out on YouTube, baby. I'm starting to doubt them. I'm going to go over to CNN right now. To my boys. I'm proud of the two of you.

Did you do that? I reckon during... That's... That's CNN, Pete. But when I try and CNN... What was that?

See, like, oh man, it's all gone. Let's put a video on for a minute because it's all gone a bit, it's all gone bonkers. I continue to think that our voting machines are too vulnerable. Right, here's a, right, so there's going to be a lot of talk about voting machines. Here's a compilation of Democrats panicking. Yeah, did you see me on Crowder, baby? Thanks, Joe WIA.

Liverpool 4-1. Hmm, nice. Let's have a look at some Democrat candidates complaining about voting machines. Check this. I continue to think that our voting machines are too vulnerable. Researchers have repeatedly demonstrated that ballot recording machines and other voting systems are susceptible to tampering. Even hackers with limited prior knowledge, tools, and resources are able to breach voting machines in a matter of minutes. In 2018, electronic voting machines in Georgia and Texas deleted votes for certain candidates.

or switch votes from one candidate to another. The 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. These voting machines can be hacked quite easily. You 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. It is the individual voting machines that pose some of the greatest risk. There are a lot of states that are dealing with antiquated machines.

right, which are vulnerable to being hacked. Workers were able to easily hack into an electronic voting machine. It was possible to switch votes. 43% of American voters use voting machines.

that researchers have found have serious security flaws, including back doors. We know how vulnerable now our systems were. We know, I know the hackathon that took place last year where virtually every machine was broken into fairly quickly. I 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. Aging 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.

In a close presidential election, they just need to hack one swing state. Or maybe one or two. Or maybe just a few counties in one swing state. I'm very concerned that you could have a hack that finally went through. Hmm, interesting. Interesting, you lot. How you getting on in there, the real mix?

In our race

I certainly recognize right now. It's a long speech. His speech has been going for a while. That's good, though. It's perfect. 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... Is that what... This is pretty good. It's pretty helpful. This is helpful. Okay. That's actual information.

Oh, wow. But these things, you know, this is the first time I've covered an American election, can you tell? Or any election, actually. And doesn't it fluctuate wildly? And can't there be hanging chads and madness for days? You're looking sharp. Thank you very much. Thanks for that. Hey, I love all of you guys. Hey, you lot on Locals. Hey, can you, Taylor, can you refresh the Locals feed for me? I can't see these babies.

Let me- I'm gonna watch Fox right. "Better not still be that guy giving a sp-" "Is on an unsustainable trajectory."

But let there be no doubt that this is a... Alright, so you've been listening to now new... Yeah, we've heard him. I get it. You're in the Senate. Come on. ...elect Andy Kim there giving his victory. Where's Bobby? Says Doggods. Do you mean Bobby Kennedy? This is, remember, Bob Menendez's seat that he vacated after resigning his... Yeah, after some serious corruption. I checked that. I mean, I'm a fay with that story now.

Oh, no, Andrew Crapp. I like this guy. A lot of them to make now that we are 10 minutes removed from this new hour. And let's take them here. So going now there to Wyoming, Wyoming's three electoral votes going to Donald Trump there. You can see with only around 2 percent of estimated votes counted. Trump besting Harris there right now, at least twice.

They're three to one. So wanted to make sure we got that in. All right. Louisiana here. Eight electoral votes. Louisiana being called for former President Donald Trump over Vice President Harris. Trump getting eight electoral votes out of Louisiana. Louisiana staying in the red column here. Also, we do have more of these.

Election results coming into South Dakota here. Three electoral votes going to Donald Trump here. This race just being called within the last couple of minutes here. We also have more, oh, another Dakota here. We have a North Dakota race call there. So both Dakotas going into the Republican column for Donald Trump there. Three electoral votes for Trump in North Dakota.

Pretty dignified. Hey, Isaac, I think we need another stream, though, as well as Fox. So, like, maybe CNN or MSNBC, but, like, something that's sort of content so I can tease them about it, frankly.

Not this Japanese one, although this Japanese coverage is pretty good. In fact, don't worry about that so much. In fact, it's more of a priority to do this than locals, unless we're discovering that locals isn't up or was never up. Cool, baby. Can we... I'd love to...

Don't worry about it. Go to the... Chats are not populated. ...in the state constitution. Oh, that doesn't make sense. Taylor, send a message in the local chat to see if it's working. And then, what I recognize, for the last hour, tell me if you think this is a good idea. Let's just move through different people's streams. We've got...

votes there yeah it's a little deceptive andrew it's a bit flat i reckon is it is it can we get like what they're putting on tv like um you know but whether it's msnbc or cnn have a look at some of their stuff baby i can't i'm not going to start bothering people they're at mar-a-lago trying to have a very pleasant evening yes cbs let's see what they're doing i'd love to see cbs

Yeah, MSNBC, it's dignified and it was actually helpful information, but it's also, I thought, a little dry. I don't know what you guys were thinking about this. Ricochet or you, Clone Deez or Turtle Tugger.

CBS is this month. Let's have a look at CBS. Start in Michigan and take a look at how voters who are older, older than age 65. This is what I want. Demographic breakdown. 55% of the vote and Trump has 43. That 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. Oh. So Kamala Harris is up by 12, by 12 among seniors.

Everyone's just trying to make sense of it. They can't make sense of it. Let's hop on over to Wisconsin. In Wisconsin, you see Harris up with voters over age 65, 58 to 42. In 2020, Joe Biden won that group.

but only with 6% of the vote. So Harris is at 16, Biden was at six. So 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. Now I've got us over in Pennsylvania. You see there Trump is up 50 to 48. But in 2020, Trump won that group of older voters.

Hey, if you're watching me on locals, I can see your comments aren't working right. Hold it, it says 16 new. No, it's coming now. 16 new, 17 new. Now go to the bottom of the chat over there, JT. It's working now. 26 new. They're coming freaking fast. Hey, SensiFarts, I'm looking at Rumble, Jed said therapy, Joey Yodo, Hollies. Yeah, just go click that. That should sort us out for a while.

That was older voters. I can't break it down by gender for you, though. Break it down by gender. So I can't. I'm anticipating your next question. And 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. Hey, Beth in Wonderland, you enjoying this stuff? Hey, Negligent Banana, I'm so glad that you're here with me. I'm in Miami. 65 voters.

And faith trumps feelings. Yes, I'm willing to baptize people. We've got to find somewhere safe, though. I can't be baptizing people in, you know, suing. That exit poll data shows that in Michigan, in Wisconsin, that she is overperforming Joe Biden among the plus 65 group, which is a reliable. So great. In 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 arrogance.

are anything other than Manchester City are going to win this because they're Man City. It never, it never works out. And they lost it. That is part of it. And 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. All right, Ed O'Keefe and everyone, thank you. When we return...

Hey, she's always in those battleground states and especially Arizona, which perhaps some history has been made in the U.S. Senate there. CBS News America decides election 2024. We'll be right back. For adverts over there on CBS, let's see who's brought up that. That might be what it was on MSNBC, though, isn't it?

Get all the CBS News election information at your fingertips. I do want it at my fingertips. Backup election maps. Push alerts on... Yeah, maps and push alerts. News and 24-7 streaming coverage. Why do anything other than watch news 24-7? That's all you're offering.

that's it they don't they don't carry their ads on youtube let's see what they're doing everyone let's see what fox have got to say from the most passionate about is guaranteeing women equality in this country making sure that we have our civil liberties and civil rights making sure that we get to make what do i mean by those civil liberties and civil rights you've been at disney world we're living in living in a theme park baby i hope everybody will vote yes on progress u.s constitution as well so

The electric buzz was intense. I feel we are concerned and exhausted.

you should like listen you stay with me enrique you stay right here in this street fight against the politics of hate and division in this country no feel unsafe being on a college campus because of anti-semitism any kind of bigotry of any kind we have to as a nation

Figure out who we are. We 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. We 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.

Now, 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 because of the work the governor... Harmony Grove asks, that was some good rhetoric, and I was just thinking while looking at her, I bet if you met her, she's all right. I bet she's an okay person. Like, you know, have you met some politicians before? It's not like they're actually evil when you meet them. Someone asked, what's the most profound thought you had when you were...

praying today, I've had this image of the thread. I've had this image continually that amidst material reality there are subtle threads that lead to deeper, more ethereal realms. And I think we all understand that, that we don't just live amidst the gross and material, but that there are subtler forces accessible to us. So whilst I respect those that can provide

expert in particular commentary on a significant issue like the American presidential election increasingly I find myself drawn to matters of spirit and perhaps that's natural as a newly converted person Republican challenger there that I've felt what happened there baby no it's all okay I'm okay I know where the buttons are this coalescing

of long-held ideas that is most interesting to me. Like the things that I've felt and understood for a long time are coming together, are coming together. So the idea of the thread, that there is a deeper yet accessible reality.

The jigsaw's pretty filled in now.

Yeah, all eyes are on the Senate race. And 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. So now that we see that New York is officially in... Is it literally grey on the West Coast because of the time, because of the way that the planet is rotating? Is that why? Well, that's...

Kind of lovely, isn't it? That in itself is a reminder of a deeper power. As the earth spins and travels around the sun, the light illuminates the east coast first and travels across, illuminating and bringing light. It reminds me of when I visited...

Angola Penitentiary, Louisiana and the governor, Burr Cain, 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. I 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 changing 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.

the split ticket voting. We talked about that before. We're starting to see this in play, especially working class voters, working class men. And that's a really big dynamic this cycle. Yeah. And just to set the stage here, Tom Loyanco with 24Sci is going to be with us throughout the hour, kind of popping in, reacting in real time to some of these results, though we do have some live events going on right now. Reacting in real time.

I'm just gonna watch that and in a couple of hours, I'm gonna react. Republican Mark Robinson, he's at his election night victory party here. Let's listen. When we go together, not as Democrats, not as Republicans, not as independents, but as North Carolinians.

Okay, I want to see, I'm going to watch CBS for a little bit, see what they have to say. First state to hold a referendum like this where reproductive rights were restricted, not expanded. And failed. All right, Margaret Brennan, thank you. And when we come back, new results. CBS News America. I'm carrying a lot of adverts on CBS. I was excited to see that. Lauren at Teacher Greenville. Diggs in 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. Then she moves through the sinew, the fascia, the muscular tissue, and...

the veins until she reaches bone. At 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. And 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 warthring claws. Am I getting this message across? ...to listen and work across party lines to do what's right for North Carolina, because no person or party has a monopoly on good ideas. To all of the smart and smart-aleck young people on my campaign...

Thank you for the long days and late nights. Thank you for the hard and high quality work. And thank you for the laughter along the way. Perfectly nice human being. What's going on on CBS? To be asked and need to be answered. Like a John Grisham novel. This is amazing. Real justice. 48 hours now streaming on the free CBS news.

What have we been doing with our lives? We could be watching Real Justice. CBS Mornings Plus, clearly more news, more smart conversation. More money-saving tips, more recipes. More uplifting ways to get you on your way. Plus, more sports, more weather. Clearly, more CBS Mornings. Plus. Sunshine of your day. Ha, ha, ha. The marketing is this. That would be very uplifting to watch that morning show. We're back with the lady. Ha, ha, ha.

I'm Lindsay Reiser at the CBS Broadcast Center in New York with coverage of CBS News America Decides. Let's go to Michigan, considered crucial to decide the outcome of the presidency, where 15 electoral college votes are in play. CBS's Jerika Duncan is in Detroit.

I actually read a book for my daughters about on the significance of the electoral college and it was the first time I'd understood it. We 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. Of course, the votes are not all in and we're still getting reporting from other counties, three that just closed up actually at nine o'clock this evening. But I want to talk about the counties to look for. Wayne County, one of the largest counties, and it includes Detroit and Dearborn. This is significant because Detroit, of

of course, has that large African-American population. And 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. Then 5.5 million people voted in 2020.

And at that time, we saw about 53% of registered voters that came out in the city of Detroit. Wayne 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.

Rickman45, great show Russell. Yeah, it's pretty good, isn't it? I like this. I 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. You can say it's affected sport, marketing, economics, and right now it's affecting politics. Like I've never seen the 65 year olds. They love Kamala Harris, but under 30, they love Donald Trump. Wait, wait a minute. There's a little boy coming by. He's just nine years old. He can vote. No, wait a minute.

No one's asking him for ID. He has voted. Oh, my God, this whole election could turn on a boy with a crayon. The U-vote is another one because this is a big market, as you know, for labor, for union workers. The UAW president, Sean Fain, who I spoke to today, said that they made 300,000 trips knocking on doors here in the state of Michigan.

Lindsay, Jerika Dungan in Detroit, thank you so much. Polls close in three more states at the top of the hour, Nevada, Montana, and Utah. You're watching CBS News, America Decides. Star approaching, superstar approaching. I can't say clearly now.

The early mornings are outrageous on CBS. I want to get up earlier. Let's do it. Let's go. Let's do this. Right, they're selling fun. It's like people have had enough of everything being done. Superstar approaching. Superstar approaching. Just get your popcorn and get ready. Come on, Julia. Oh, no. I will if you will. You go, girl. Yeah.

Dollar, dollar, just. You can't get into the market. It's okay. Renting is fine. Box, oh, it's bad. I just thought a minute ago, it was like, Asha, if you can't afford a house, renting's fine. Eat some pesto. Chop up this bun. Shut your mouth. Cuddle a lady. Have a pleasant afternoon. Go to a ditty party. Have a wonderful night. Come on. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye.

You're 70 years old? Yeah. I'm 21. I feel right! Funny how the TV shows tell you what they are. This is fun and uplifting and smart. Are you fun and uplifted and smart? I suppose I am. Well, do what you're fucking told then.

welcome back to cbs i'm wearing purple to make a point america decides campaign 2024 we are sharing some of the striking i voted stickers that have caught our eye take a look at michigan it shows a werewolf pulling apart its shirt while howling at the sky the image was actually created by a 12 year old from gross point michigan it was one of the winners in the state's first ever sticker design competition there's

There's been a sticker design competition. The minute I don't say anything like this, society's about to fall apart if you don't vote for the right candidate. Also, though, this boy's designed a werewolf sticker. In the East, 630. In the West, and in the race to 270, Donald Trump has 162. Kamala Harris, 62.

But you would think that's game over, no? But then, like, California's got, like, 50 electoral college seats. So don't worry, I read a book. It was a children's book, my children's book, and so I understand the electoral college a little. Let's go to the Sun Belt. Also toss-ups at this hour. Nevada... Sun Belt? I didn't even know what that was. Nevada does not close until 10 p.m. Eastern, so we'll check in there as well. CBS News projects Donald Trump will win Louisiana elections.

Voters in the Bayou State have chosen a Republican for president since 2000. CBS News projects Rhode Island for Harris and CBS News projects New York. I say that like the way she's saying CBS News is quite grand, isn't it? Like CBS News predicts. Well.

We're predicting we're going to sell all sorts of stuff. I'm going to talk about that werewolf boy sticker thing again. Where are you going to go with that? They're major. And I'm glad you have up the state of Virginia because something interesting is happening there. Something interesting is happening in Virginia. We rate it currently as lean Harris. You can see 59 percent of the vote in. But what is interesting and cannot be described in any way, shape or form as encouraging to the Harris campaign.

I will explain the Electoral College. 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.

So if you win the popular vote in California, for example, you get 54 votes. But if you win it in somewhere like, I don't know, Wisconsin, you get four. That was just a made up example. So there are certain states that have more electoral college value than others. And I think I've demonstrated that I understood that. Do I get a biscuit? That's cookie in your language. And Prince William County.

All of those Prince William County. Kamala Harris is not performing as well. One 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. At least in Northern Virginia, that is not manifesting itself. As I said before, manifesting itself. That is not manifesting itself. That's not how reality works. Show you what she needs and what we project. A narrative.

Charlie Shashka, chocolate chip. As large as Joe Biden achieved in 2020. That's a story of itself. So and just a reminder. Petty Hope asks how much Trump is drinking. Trump does not drink. And 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. And essentially he's turning out his vote there, which blunts

any advantage that Democrats have in the cities. And when you're not running up the totals or Matt, it blunts that sharp bit at the bottom of Virginia. That's you see this bit that looks like a shoe that's been blunted by rural voters and by like a mouse in a straw hat has nibbled it into a nub. Robert Costa. I have some new reporting to build upon the data just outlined there by Major Garrett in Virginia. There has been a real emphasis by former President Donald Trump to

build a coalition there. Chris LaCivita, who's one of the people running the Trump campaign, a retired Marine veteran, actually... He's a Marine veteran, okay? ...Virginia.

I know him. Trying 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. So they're feeling good about Virginia. Down in Mar-a-Lago right now, my top sources say, they're feeling... I've got sources in Mar-a-Lago. You think I can't call someone in Mar-a-Lago right now? Brr-brr-brr-brrp.

Oh, hello. Hello, President Trump. Yeah, I'm just wondering how it's going. Oh, no, there's some camera. Sorry, no, that was him. Yeah, you know, super helpful there. Look, 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.

Okay, especially in Georgia. All right. Now, this is very tentative, but some of the early exit polls we have seen have shown Trump performing, shown a lot more men voters showing up and supporting Trump. All right. Which one am I on? I'm on CBS, am I? I'm confused.

Sorry. Sorry about that, T.D. Hill. One, because of that record turnout. Two, because Donald Trump narrowly lost that state four years ago and because it is just too close to call at this hour. What are you hearing? That's right. Well, 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 McHugh, who we spoke to ahead of some of these returns.

And 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. They are overperforming, particularly in Forsyth. And that is notable because that is actually where former Lieutenant Governor Jeff Duncan is from. And as we know,

the former lieutenant governor actually endorsed Vice President Harris. So in that particular county, the Trump team is seeing much stronger numbers there than they did back in 2020 and 2016. But 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, tar

targeting some of these low propensity voters in particular. And so they do believe that that strategy is working. Also, a Trump campaign operative told me they're feeling pretty good about their performance with African American voters, particularly African American men. They 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.

Now, in terms of talking to those with the Harris campaign and Democrats here in this state, you know, 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. Well, you know, like sort of now this has a particular timbre untimed in it. Do you think there's going to be a bit of.

like in a few hours where it all goes really mad or a bit in 24 hours where it goes oh and voting machines when voting machines are on the blink is that going to happen because everyone's sort of perfectly reasonable and calm well there's a black man in delaware who seem to be behaving in this way children some of them up to nine feet tall are pulling plants

Pulling plants off of rooftops and using those to vote also seems quite whimsical and merry. But I've got a feeling this is going to go, or is it not? Is this going to be like, oh, Trump won, well done. Washington, D.C. on Howard's campus, every time the announcement comes of a state won by Kamala Harris, there are huge, huge uproars and applause.

and of course when Donald Trump in fact wins a state or projected to win a state there are boos but we should know they boo that they they were very clear that they like Kamala Harris and they dislike Donald Trump that I have been observing them scrutinizing them

One fella, I'd looked up his trouser leg, and he had waxed his shins. They were all excited about the turnout as we've gotten deeper into the night. Some 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...

I'm offended by, I'm not a black person, plainly, but I'm offended by the term, the black vote, and the, like, that's, people aren't behaving like that, are they? Like,

My kid, we went on a Universal ride, like, you know, we went on a Minions ride at Universal. It was pretty good actually because some of the Minions said hello to me. Memories of happier times. And, like, my kid, like, the ride tells you that you've been turned into a Minion. You're all Minions now since this thing's happened to you. And I saw my daughter look at her hands to see if she was a Minion.

like this is Peggy to see if she'd been transformed. Oh God, I saw her do it. Anyway, 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.

We'll start first with the blue wall, if you will, there. These 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. At this hour, CBS News rates all three of those as toss-up.

Fair toss-up. I went to school for journalism, and their toss-up... Pennsylvania takes much longer to count. Four years ago, we were all here until Saturday. They 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. Now let's take a look at those Sunbelt states.

And there you see Georgia, a toss-up, still that vote coming in, although officials had told us that we would have a lot posting. And I'm going to get to David Becker in a minute on that. And 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. And so that is making them feel optimistic.

And a reminder, North Carolina is the only of the seven battlegrounds that Trump won four years ago. David Becker, tell us where we stand now in terms of these battleground states and the vote count. So first of all, we should just mention it's only two hours and 40 minutes since the polls closed in Georgia. So there's a lot of votes to count. And I think we may want to call it up again to show how many votes have been counted so far. But I did the quick math. I think it was about four million of voters.

little more than five million out there. So they're doing a pretty good job. Remember, those polling places were ordered to stay open late in places like Fulton County and DeKalb County because of bomb threats and other issues. So, yes, it looks like about four million have been counted and reported out so far. So 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. And 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. I don't think it's going to take until Saturday, but 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. Good information. And of course, Nevada closes at the top of...

of the hour. And so we will have any results in reporting from there as soon as that comes in. Of course, one of the things we have been talking about tonight is control of Congress and the United States Senate. And I was just curious myself about what's happening in Ohio to share. She's the nice person. Senate Banking Committee. I was curious. I'm going to talk to this guy. How pivotal control of the U.S. Senate is for the next president if they want to get

Cabinet members confirm. Supreme Court nominees confirm. Who controls the U.S. Senate is everything. Senseless wars and the endless servicing of corporate interests and unelected bodies like NATO. You've got to have the Senate on board. Now, the three-term incumbent, Sherrod Brown, is trailing early against the Trump-endorsed Republican challenger, Bernie Moreno, a businessman from Ohio. This...

Tart28, why are you watching CBS? CBS is doing good, I think. I like them. Look at this guy in front of the arena of the French flag. He's trying his best. Ohio is the next one up, the one we are watching meticulously, Nora, as the results continue to pour in.

Really important information. Scott McFarland. Scott, you're doing well. I can't tell you how much I love you. I'm married. I've been in Congress for many years. Yeah. Well, we'll continue to see there what exactly or how things pan out in the Senate. And that Texas race that I think a lot of people are interested in looks like Cruz may be maintaining a lead there. So that would be another lost opportunity for Democrats. I just wanted to turn back to Georgia and North Carolina if we could.

Former President Trump currently has a lead. The Harris campaign is still holding out hope, however, because they look again. We've heard evidence of long lines of college kids in Pennsylvania and other places. There are long lines, apparently, of several hours still. UNC Charlotte, UNC Wilmington. You're American. Does things like, there's long lines of college kids, does that ever play out? Does that ever, like, work?

Well, we fought with one, but it was a long line of college kids. Now, it's just this thinking of stuff to say, aren't they? Despite those numbers. All right, Ed O'Keefe, thank you. And ahead, we'll talk with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. CBS News America decides election 2024 returns in just a moment.

Get all the CBS news. How long before we get kicked out of the building? Don't we get kicked out of this building pretty soon? We get kicked out of the building at 10. We can't leave. This is an election. The political bedfellows this cycle are some of the strangest I've ever seen. Now, she could be in good shape. One of the things, you know, on the...

Now wait a minute. I've seen some political bedfellows that have been in great shape. Now look at the shape of this lady. She's magnificent. She's like an ice cream cone that's come to life. Where's me? I'm like a character that was a broom in an animated film represented by a human in a hit off-Broadway show. Democrats have usurped that and have done a lot better under Ben Wiggler, Democratic Party chair in Wisconsin. Ground games?

operations, those things matter, especially in tight races like this. So it's not unforeseeable that she wins and Trump wins too in Wisconsin. That's not out of the realm of possibility here. Let's back up here. Let's go back to political science 101 for a minute, Tom. Explain to us why we're talking so much about the balance of power in the Senate and the House. How does that dictate how powerful of a president we're gonna be working with?

Well, I'll tell you, you know, you hear voters complain a lot about how Washington doesn't get anything done and need to return to normal order.

It is incredibly hard to pass legislation through Congress and get it to any president's desk these days. And certainly a lot of that has to do with the Senate. Typically, you'd need to be able to break a filibuster. With the exception of the courts, it's 60 votes. And neither side, the traditionalists in the Senate, have wanted to touch that. So 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. Now, where that comes into play is those nominations and whether you're able to get... They've got a great map. Ooh, that crowd. What are they watching there with him? Have we seen it on CNN?

Look at them. Now that's coverage. Now that is what you want, a big, massive map like that, don't you? That's the dream. He'd be in a very strong position right now. If this goes as it looks, it might go with John Thune potentially becoming the Senate Majority Leader. And again, a lot of things still yet to play out within the Senate Republican Conference. That would give Senate Republicans and Senator John Thune out of South Dakota a lot of power.

Yeah, you know, Tom, speaking of who would be in charge of Senate Republicans, who would be the leader there, we aired Rick Scott. The neckbeard who lives in your parents' basement? Nixie sticks. That's not the kind of discourse we're encouraging here.

This is a symposium.

I just want to get your sense here. Let's focus on the Harris Trump campaigns right now. And Tom, you got a lot of sources within the Trump campaign. That's their election night watch party. We have this what we call a switch feed here. We're seeing a lot of folks there with red MAGA hats. I also just saw one of these Jewish Trump voters as well. You see there people taking selfies. So, you know, you can get a sense of the vibes. You can't really glean anything results wise.

Vibes? That's not what we've come here for. We want analysis. I could do vibes on my own. ...side Trump HQ.

Well, you know, this campaign, and we've talked about this. Thanks, Olsen 101. Thanks, Central Scrutinizer. As Trump campaigns go, has been remarkably disciplined. All right, and you got to give credit to Susie Wiles there and Chris LaCivita and Tony Fabrizio. Yeah, if you're not going to credit Tony Fabrizio, we'll all just go home and just admit it that democracy has failed.

America has failed. Humanity has failed. Matter, spirit, essence, molecules, and cosmoses have all failed. Give Fabrizio the credit he deserves. At these rallies, all right, whether 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. We've always known that about him. So...

I don't know. Look, the early results that we're seeing, again, go back to the Sun Belt. It's about Georgia and North Carolina doing incredibly well there. And if these exit polls turn out to be correct with a larger number of men breaking for Trump, especially with minorities of black and Latino voters, that gives a lot of confidence. All right. And you can see that reflect black men.

And Latinos are breaking for Trump. And that makes me feel very, not only confident, but almost aroused to see them just sprinting, sprinting freely for Trump. Can you just picture them? They're naked, these men. They don't have to be. That's not a condition of their voting. They don't even need ID. But they're nude and they're greased and they're breaking for Trump. They're climbing over the fence at Mar-a-Lago right now. They're going into the

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. It's part of the problem. Now, is that what some political pollsters and pundits call hopium or not here? What does that mean? LAUGHTER

No. I just, based on what we're seeing so far tonight, that looks incredibly unlikely to happen. And, you know, that's standard for any campaign, you know. Yeah, I'm in America. It's not even 10 o'clock. Russell's not a three-year-old. Yeah, look, I'm...

I'm not that tired, but we get kicked out of this building pretty soon, actually. So we're at the locals building in Miami. Can we look at that? I want to watch that CNN that they're watching on. Look at this. We're in a vortex because Fox is filming that and they're watching CNN, Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania is breaking hard for Trump. It's ejaculating for Trump. It's pulled its pants down for Trump. Like.

Like, I want to watch what they've got. Look at that. They're watching television. I'd love it if on that screen I came up and they're like, well, Russell Brand right now has done quite an accurate drawing of America. He's done his level best there to represent it.

So this is the best scrutiny that we've got to offer. If that trend stays true, you're pretty much right off Arizona for Harris. And then it becomes an issue in Pennsylvania. You've got to look at Allentown, the Lehigh Valley, and you've got to watch the returns coming out of there. That was the big concern. Watch out for Allentown. Allen.

He's drunk, he's delirious, he's fallen asleep in a trash can, he's woken up, he don't know where he is, he's breaking for Trump. Before we go, Tom, I gotta ask you about Puerto Ricans, because there's an... If you want some proper entertainment, we're going to BBC's coverage right now. Let's see what they're saying. This is taxpayer-funded entertainment. This is the state's news from the BBC.

Where I come from. Before we watch BBC, we all have to sing the national anthem.

what's that god save our gracious king long live our noble king isaac's finding it god save our king oh my god who do we replace fox we can't have bbc without losing fox or cbs who do you want to lose tell me in the comments and tell me in the chat and rumble for fox if you want us to delete fox press one if you want us to delete cbs press two the first one to ten

is deleted. If you want us to delete Fox, press 1, CBS, 2. I'll tell you now that I think CBS's coverage has been better. God's sake. And I'll just sing the national anthem while we wait. Send them victorious. You want CBS? Oh man, they can't. Yep, they want CBS gone. I couldn't bias it. It's gone.

We've got no choice, Isaac. We've got Dominion vote machines here. You vote for CBS to be next. We wipe them out. You may be wondering how the BBC are paying for recovering your election. Let's have a look. CBS is.

Oh, CBS is now BBC. They're all the same, aren't they? Mainstream media. Let's check them out. We have raped and murdered young women all across this country. What? That's pretty heavy. That's what... Out of our country, and that's where we need to begin. And I stand by Donald... I thought BBC was going to be a sort of reasonable voice. They're actually saying that immigrants have raced and murdered women across...

country from Texas there thanks for joining us on BBC News thank you frightened us Democrat congressman Joaquin Castro also from the state of Texas he's neutral colors they're wearing purple and yellow BBC headquarters I'll ask you about immigration in a moment but tell us what things are like there right now

Well, everybody is excited. Obviously, very jubilant. They're jubilant. They're excited. What do you want? These are Americans. They're not like us, British. They express themselves emotionally. We saw one little boy drawing a sticker of a werewolf. Elsewhere, Latinos are breaking hard for Trump. Greased, oiled Latinos. Everywhere you look, breaking hard for Trump. That's not British. What she said was the Harris-Biden or Biden-Harris administration's

failed border policy. I 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?

Well, I think the issue of the board... We're going to have to go quite soon. Let's report a bit more England because we're actually getting kicked out by security. Tell him to come in. If you look at what Donald Trump did when he was president, he purposely separated very young kids, young boys and girls from their... We're going to have to leave soon because security, we're in the locals building and like locals of Linden, that's this building because I'm on the road. I'm a vagrant, baby. It's true when that is...

Thanks for that $20. Thank you, Melody Scott Zindel. That's very, very kind of you.

Just out of pure instinct, I nearly showed you one of my breasts. American citizens, not undocumented immigrants, a million American citizens who were deported. And so that's what Donald Trump is promising. And 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.

Congressman, just one question on that, though, because the point that the congresswoman from Texas as well was making there is that... BBC's coverage is intense, I think. ...that we've seen record crossings across the southern border and that people don't trust this administration or Kamala Harris on this issue. Bribe security, says Pure Blood TV.

Good idea. Bitcoin just hit $73,000. I don't even know none. People don't just show up at the border because they're going to Disneyland. There are root causes of... Michael Jackson. He ain't cancelled around here, baby. We're getting booted out. We're getting booted out, Christine. That's as simple as that. Michael Jackson, don't stop till you get enough. Crossings have gone down in recent months...

Christy, what are they saying? Charge Rumble. The Republicans would say... They're going to charge the building. Why did Kamala Harris not take action and then have accused him of electioneering?

Well, no, and as you know, he absolutely tried, and Donald Trump spiked the bipartisan voter bill. Why are you all talking about crypto? To fuck themselves, man. That's so dark. No way. Hold on, they are coming in. Oh, come in, sir. Do you mind joining me? We're just covering the election in your country. Do you mind joining us? We'll get a seat for you. I better go full screen for you.

Come in. What is your name, sir? Jorge. Jorge. Thank you, Jorge, for joining us. Right, we've got the crucial Spanish... Hispanic demographic.

Welcome! We are live with your audience. They are watching now and sending comments in the chat. We are talking about the election, Trump and Canada.

Are you a genuine American voter and have you voted? The Latinos are breaking hard for Trump. This one with an actual blue collar. Are you a Latino, sir? Cubano.

He's a Cubano and he's broken hard for Trump. I think this is good as wraps the night up. This is our conclusion. Thank you for joining us. We have to leave the building. Is that right?

It's very important. I understand, I understand.

Gracias para todo.

Can we fully trust this map? But 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.

Remember, even people that disagree with you believe in what they believe. I pray with the same fervor, although some of my conversations this evening suggested otherwise. You've seen it there. That's genuine journalism unfolding before your very eyes. We will be back for our show tomorrow at the usual time. And I hope that tomorrow we will wake up in an America that is free and

and is bonded and unified and is not chaotic because you know i've got a feeling it could sort of go crazy just from watching that stuff it was all so sort of under control but it had that sort of sense that it could go bananas man anyway listen i love you all we'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 until then if you can stay free thanks for joining us we love you
