• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Wow, what else would Natalie Migliore be talking about today
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: with people on the street and her beat on the
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: street except for the election?
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: This should be good.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Maybe literally anything else. No. Look, election day has come
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: and gone. The team has put in work, my friends,
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: with election night coverage and everything. So congratulations. You got
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: through that.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Oh, I got through it. Yes, I survived it. Glad
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: to see you here this morning. You've made it.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Now we're left to sort through the winners and the losers.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: It's being called a blue tsunami with even the unlikeliest
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: of states.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Voting blue.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: In New York, of course, Democrat incumbent Governor Kathy Hochul
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: defeats Republican challenger Bruce Blakeman. But that wasn't really a surprise.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Some voters paying very close attention to races across the country.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Of course, I voted early first day I went and
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: it was great.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: And I'm so happy with the outcome. No, I was
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: I was actually looking at the elections just now. Arizona governor.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: I'm I was glad to see the Arizona governor was reelected.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: Other than that, not just as surprised as anybody else
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: on some of those swing states, like the incumbents that
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: got beat.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Wow, it's been great.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: It's been great. I think we won all over.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and just to clarify, the Arizona governor-elect is Democrat.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: He was just happy, I guess, to stick it in
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: family's face when they have Thanksgiving, which is coming up.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: But it comes to all. Well, when it comes to
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: all over Texas, Republican Governor Greg Abbott was beat out
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: by Democratic challenger Gina Hizona, the first Democrat to run
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Texas in more than 30 years. Democrats are also set
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: to take over Congress here in New York. Four districts
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: considered battlegrounds all went blue. So what do people think
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: this indicates? You know, the middle class has been getting
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: crushed and the 1%.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: Keeps rising and the poor keep getting poorer.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: So I think it's... indicative of people are into self-preservation.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: So the Democrats are usually, you know, a lot of
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: social programs.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Probably because of the way they were treating the immigrants,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: you know. Don't treat them that way.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: Give them a chance to defend themselves and leave the country.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: That's it.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: My feeling is that the divisiveness in the country over
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: the last bunch of years has been hard to take.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: My wife actually said, we want to retire, let's leave
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: the country. But I'd like to see the country kind
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: of get back together and work together.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Well, it's not clear how much working together they'll do,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: especially with President Trump's reaction to these midterm elections.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: They're all going to come through for us, hopefully.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: But then, you know, Trump said he's going to veto everything,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: but we'll see.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: So he had said he has the ultimate power to
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: veto whatever moves are made. There's one race where a
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Republican challenger conceded in New York, even though there was
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: I'm not a Republican challenger. A Republican incumbent conceded, even
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: though there was an issue with ballot scanners. Westchester reported
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: the countywide issue yesterday morning. We'd been reporting on it
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: all day. But still, Mike Lawler didn't question it and
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: conceded to his Democratic challenger, Kate Conley. Reaction, though, to
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: issues at the polling sites across the county. I think
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: maybe it's hampered. You never know. You know, you can't
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: trust all the polling sites, I don't think.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: You know, who's in charge and who's, you know, looking
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: over it.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: Everybody's going to say that. My wife said that last night,
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: that all these mail-in early voting, because they were breaking
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: it down into early voting and day of voting. And
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: she said that all this early voting that's showing as
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: a win for Democrats, all that's going to happen is
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: the president's going to say, oh, it's all rigged.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: It's all rigged.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: It's all, you know, BS.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: You know what the really interesting thing is? As I
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: was following the polls in my personal life my fiance
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: was following Kalshi like Kalshi that that the Kalshi which
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: uh Governor Hochul has been trying to shut down right
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: because she says it's like a betting site or whatever
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: and he says every time he goes to uh look
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: at it for an election it's always on point who's
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: gonna win and who's not.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: It's very interesting I was more on point I launched
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: yesterday the Curtis Sliwa political marketplace, and my picks were
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: better than Kalshi, better than the competitors. You compare them.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Go ahead. You make that kind of an outrageous statement.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: You're not giving me props for being almost completely correct.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: You know what I love? That I don't have to
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: give you props. You give yourself props. Everybody clapping for him.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: We got Curtis.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Sliwa in the house.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: What is really interesting, though, is the way I voted yesterday.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: I don't think I've ever voted in a voting the
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: same way twice. I feel like there's always different mechanisms
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: to vote. And that isn't that interesting.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: That's a really fascinating point. They do keep changing. It's
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: it's ridiculous.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: I tried to ask people that, and I think people
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: just have such short memories about it that they just
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: sort of float on into the, like, it's like, all right,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: I voted.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Bring back the lever machines. It was so much easier.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: But Natalie. Brooklyn Bridge.
