- 4:29SPEAKER_03: Greg,
- 4:29SPEAKER_03: considering it's my first election,
- 4:31SPEAKER_03: I got to deliver the best election numbers ever because my bosses want to rip my
- 4:35SPEAKER_03: heart out as a peace offering to all Congress.
- 4:37SPEAKER_03: So, you know, Greg, you know, I'm a little bit tense.
- 4:41SPEAKER_03: Just a little bit tense.
- 4:43SPEAKER_03: Well, yeah, I'm feeling pretty good.
- 5:13SPEAKER_02: I'm tense and nervous and I can't relax.
- 5:30SPEAKER_03: Hey, Tom.
- 5:31SPEAKER_03: Hey, Ken.
- 5:31SPEAKER_03: You good?
- 5:31SPEAKER_03: You feeling good?
- 5:32SPEAKER_03: Needs to be gangbusters tonight, man.
- 5:34SPEAKER_03: Yeah?
- 5:34SPEAKER_03: Yeah, you got it.

- 5:40SPEAKER_03: Got it, Ken.
- 5:41SPEAKER_03: All good.
- 5:41SPEAKER_03: All good.
- 5:42SPEAKER_03: Hey, Pam.
- 5:43SPEAKER_03: How's it looking?
- 5:44SPEAKER_02: A bit of crackle.
- 5:45SPEAKER_02: We have a news van in a bit of trouble in Oregon.
- 5:48SPEAKER_02: Things looking fighty in Milwaukee.
- 5:50SPEAKER_03: Did you see the viral thing about the woman who voted like 40 times under her dead mom's name?
- 5:55SPEAKER_02: We tracked her down.
- 5:56SPEAKER_02: Not super reliable.
- 5:57SPEAKER_02: She's not a well person.
- 5:59SPEAKER_03: Well, you're not a doctor, Pam, until you qualify.
- 6:02SPEAKER_03: Why don't you get her on the air?
- 6:03SPEAKER_03: So what we're hearing is,
- 6:05SPEAKER_03: and remember,
- 6:06SPEAKER_03: this is not decisive,
- 6:07SPEAKER_03: what we're seeing is Donald Drumpf may be overperforming in Georgia and Arizona.
- 6:15SPEAKER_03: So our early read would be closer than polls have suggested.
- 6:20SPEAKER_00: That's great.
- 6:20SPEAKER_00: I mean, I got four smileys from Gil.
- 6:22SPEAKER_00: They think they've got it.
- 6:23SPEAKER_03: I have got eggplant, eggplant flag from Drumpf.
- 6:28SPEAKER_00: Well, two eggplants is not as much as four smileys, obviously.
- 6:31SPEAKER_00: Four smileys is symptomatic of the complacency at the heart of the out-of-touch campaign.
- 6:35SPEAKER_00: Eggplant, eggplant flag reeks of the misogynistic bravado that has so repelled the median voter.
- 6:40SPEAKER_03: Hmm?
- 6:40SPEAKER_03: Jesus, I feel sick.
- 6:43SPEAKER_03: Oh, why?
- 6:43SPEAKER_03: It's fun.
- 6:45SPEAKER_03: My team's playing your team.
- 6:46SPEAKER_03: It's only spicy because if my team wins, they're going to shoot your team.
- 6:49SPEAKER_03: But we've got full team coverage tonight.
- 6:50SPEAKER_03: We've got Grace Kulichman at Harris headquarters.
- 6:53SPEAKER_03: We've got Troy Iwata at Trump headquarters.
- 6:58SPEAKER_03: We've got Jordan Klepper in the swing state of Pennsylvania.
- 7:01SPEAKER_03: First, we're going to go to Troy and Grace.
- 7:03SPEAKER_03: Troy, I'm going to start with you, Troy, at Trump headquarters.
- 7:10SPEAKER_03: What are you wearing, Troy?
- 7:14SPEAKER_03: It's a garbage bag.
- 7:16SPEAKER_03: Yeah, we have to wear them to prove that we're not garbage.
- 7:19SPEAKER_03: It doesn't make a lot of sense.
- 7:20SPEAKER_03: A lot of stuff doesn't make sense here.
- 7:22SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 7:24SPEAKER_03: Grace, you're at Kamala Harris campaign headquarters.
- 7:26SPEAKER_03: What is the mood there?
- 7:28SPEAKER_03: It's tense, John.
- 7:30SPEAKER_03: The mood here is also very tense, John.
- 7:33SPEAKER_03: People are really sick of all the positive signs and just want to find out the
- 7:36SPEAKER_03: results so they can start the insurrection.
- 7:40SPEAKER_03: Wait, Trump seems to be doing well.
- 7:42SPEAKER_03: Yeah, they don't care.
- 7:43SPEAKER_03: Win or lose, these people are going to take a shit on Nancy Pelosi's desk again.
- 7:47SPEAKER_03: They've been eating fiber bars for 12 hours.
- 7:50SPEAKER_03: They are ready.
- 7:51SPEAKER_03: Thank you, Troy.
- 7:57SPEAKER_03: Yeah, well, I blame you.
- 7:59SPEAKER_03: Scared to run all the fraud.
- 8:01SPEAKER_03: Well, I keep my hands out, you know?
- 8:03SPEAKER_03: Fuck you.
- 8:03SPEAKER_03: What is this?
- 8:04SPEAKER_03: Because, you know, I'm quite busy.
- 8:05SPEAKER_03: Oh, you're busy.
- 8:07SPEAKER_03: Just wanted to say a couple things.
- 8:11SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 8:12SPEAKER_03: Very directly.
- 8:16SPEAKER_03: We still think we can win.
- 8:17SPEAKER_03: Sure.
- 8:18SPEAKER_03: But I am very focused on losing.
- 8:22SPEAKER_03: All right.
- 8:23SPEAKER_03: Winning is easy.
- 8:24SPEAKER_03: Winning would take care of itself.
- 8:25SPEAKER_03: Sure.
- 8:26SPEAKER_03: But if I lose, I need to work on what assholes would call the narratives.
- 8:32SPEAKER_03: Uh-huh.
- 8:33SPEAKER_03: Like an insurgent campaign, unfairly maligned as extremist by the coastal masturbation factory.
- 8:39SPEAKER_03: Exactly.
- 8:40SPEAKER_03: If I lose, I want it correctly characterized as a huge victory.
- 8:44SPEAKER_00: And it is 7 o'clock on the East Coast, which means polls have just closed in half a dozen states.
- 8:51SPEAKER_03: Voters have made their voices heard.
- 8:53SPEAKER_03: This could be the most important election in our lifetime.
- 8:57SPEAKER_03: Now, look, I know a lot of people out there feeling anxious.
- 8:59SPEAKER_03: I want to assure you that that is very good for our ratings.
- 9:02SPEAKER_03: So keep up the good work out there.
- 9:06SPEAKER_03: Do not remove your eyes from the TV at all costs.
- 9:09SPEAKER_03: To get a better sense of our national mood, we turn to Desi Lydic with analysis...
- 9:18SPEAKER_03: With analysis of all the results that we've seen so far tonight.
- 9:24SPEAKER_03: Desi?
- 9:25SPEAKER_00: Oh, thanks, John.
- 9:25SPEAKER_03: We don't, okay.
- 9:34SPEAKER_03: But we don't have all the results in, so.
- 9:36SPEAKER_00: Well, so far we have the F and the C and the K and the all y'all.
- 9:42SPEAKER_00: So I'm going to go out on a limb and project a U and fuck all y'all.
- 9:47SPEAKER_03: But there's still information to come in.
- 9:49SPEAKER_00: Oh, it's too close to call.
- 9:51SPEAKER_00: Kamala's up in Iowa.
- 9:53SPEAKER_00: I don't want to hear another pollster or James Carville from some subterranean
- 9:58SPEAKER_00: basement in his LSU Tigers hat going,
- 10:01SPEAKER_03: I don't see how she can lose.
- 10:03SPEAKER_03: Now let me just finish my gumbo and f***.
- 10:05SPEAKER_03: We're going to check back in on you, Desi.
- 10:10SPEAKER_00: Well, you better make it quick because I'm going to get started on my Project 2025.
- 10:23SPEAKER_03: Fuck.
- 10:27SPEAKER_03: You okay?
- 10:31SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 10:32SPEAKER_03: I, uh, I have to go, um, tell them I think we're calling it for Drumpf.
- 10:41SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 10:44SPEAKER_03: So, I should go.
- 10:46SPEAKER_03: I'll get in trouble if I don't go.
- 10:48SPEAKER_03: Okay, dude.
- 10:49SPEAKER_03: I mean...
- 10:51SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 10:52SPEAKER_03: I mean, it's not really my choice, right?
- 10:54SPEAKER_03: So... Sure.
- 10:55SPEAKER_03: I mean, right.
- 10:56SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 10:58SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 10:58SPEAKER_03: I'm just pressing the button.
- 11:00SPEAKER_03: Or I'm not even pressing the button.
- 11:01SPEAKER_03: I'm asking them to prepare to press the button.
- 11:05SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 11:05SPEAKER_00: And all that does is just, like, launch a nuclear attack.
- 11:10SPEAKER_03: If they push that button, your ass got to go.
- 11:16SPEAKER_03: It's not gonna change anything if I don't go, so.
- 11:19SPEAKER_00: Couple minutes, so.
- 11:21SPEAKER_03: Right, right.
- 11:23SPEAKER_03: Realistically.
- 11:24SPEAKER_03: Wow.
- 11:32SPEAKER_03: Crazy.
- 11:34SPEAKER_03: Crazy.
- 11:37SPEAKER_03: Crazy one.
- 11:43SPEAKER_03: It's now clear I have won sufficient electoral votes to be declared the next
- 11:48SPEAKER_03: president of the United States.
- 11:52SPEAKER_03: And I find the responsibility awesome.
- 11:56SPEAKER_03: Now I know there are some who feel there's something left to contest, but votes have been cast.
- 12:02SPEAKER_03: Votes have been tallied.
- 12:05SPEAKER_03: On another day, in another time, they might have fallen in another fashion.
- 12:11SPEAKER_03: The election has been called for me by an authority.
- 12:13SPEAKER_03: To my critics, I am not a demagogue.
- 12:18SPEAKER_03: I am a defender of democracy.
- 12:22SPEAKER_03: But democracy, it has this tendency that we have to beware to become mere transaction.
- 12:30SPEAKER_03: I give you this, you give me that.
- 12:33SPEAKER_03: I come begging for your vote.
- 12:36SPEAKER_03: welfare checkbook out,
- 12:39SPEAKER_03: crowning the welfare kings and queens till everyone's become a little tyrant
- 12:44SPEAKER_03: crowned by the state.
- 12:46SPEAKER_03: The model that I follow isn't from the scorched marketplace where cunning men haggle for the best price.
- 12:54SPEAKER_03: That's not me.
- 12:56SPEAKER_03: The democracy I believe in is where a leader emerged from the people, willed almost into being.
- 13:04SPEAKER_03: brought forth by the great sweetness of the virtue of the combined wisdom of the
- 13:08SPEAKER_03: good people of this republic.
- 13:11SPEAKER_03: Our country has never seen before nothing like this.
- 13:14SPEAKER_03: I want to thank the American people for the extraordinary honor of being elected
- 13:19SPEAKER_03: your 47th president and your 45th president.
- 13:25SPEAKER_03: You know,
- 13:25SPEAKER_03: the Trump speech had about 12 minutes of teleprompter written speech in there and
- 13:31SPEAKER_03: then another,
- 13:32SPEAKER_03: I don't know,
- 13:33SPEAKER_03: 15 of rambling and inviting other people up to the microphone to speak.
- 13:37SPEAKER_03: In the 12 minutes that they put in the teleprompter, it was a very modest and non-Trumpian speech
- 13:45SPEAKER_03: that had only two words of policy, and those two words were reducing taxes.
- 13:51SPEAKER_03: There was not another word of policy,
- 13:54SPEAKER_03: nothing about mass deportation,
- 13:56SPEAKER_03: nothing about trying to jail his opponents,
- 13:59SPEAKER_03: which he cannot do and will not be doing,
- 14:02SPEAKER_03: none of that kind of political terrorism language that he was including in his rallies.
- 14:09SPEAKER_03: It hasn't been completely called yet.
- 14:11SPEAKER_03: We don't exactly know what all the results are going to be.
- 14:15SPEAKER_03: Our time is running out.
- 14:17SPEAKER_03: I do want to very quickly send a quick message to all the pollsters, the election pollsters.
- 14:27SPEAKER_03: Blow me.
- 14:31SPEAKER_03: I don't ever want to...
- 14:34SPEAKER_03: from you again, ever.
- 14:36SPEAKER_03: I don't ever want to hear, we've corrected to the overcorrection.
- 14:42SPEAKER_03: You don't know shit about shit.
- 14:45SPEAKER_03: You know nothing.
- 14:48SPEAKER_03: And I don't care for you.
- 14:58SPEAKER_03: We'll figure it out next time.
- 15:00SPEAKER_03: Oh, we were in the margin of blow me.
- 15:04SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 15:07SPEAKER_03: Look.
- 15:16SPEAKER_03: Look, we...
- 15:18SPEAKER_03: Here's the thing.
- 15:19SPEAKER_03: Here's what we know,
- 15:21SPEAKER_03: is that we don't really know anything and that we're going to come out of this
- 15:24SPEAKER_03: election and we're going to make all kinds of pronouncements about what this
- 15:26SPEAKER_03: country is and what this world is.
- 15:28SPEAKER_03: And the truth is, we're not really going to know shit.
- 15:31SPEAKER_03: And we're going to make it seem like this is the finality of our civilization, this and thing.
- 15:37SPEAKER_03: We're all going to have to wake up tomorrow morning and work like hell to move the
- 15:41SPEAKER_03: world to the place that we prefer it to be.
- 15:43SPEAKER_03: And I just want to point out, just as a matter of perspective,
- 15:47SPEAKER_03: that the lessons that our pundits take away from these results,
- 15:52SPEAKER_03: that they will pronounce with certainty,
- 15:54SPEAKER_03: will be wrong.
- 15:56SPEAKER_03: And we have to remember that.
- 16:00SPEAKER_03: In 2008, when Barack Obama won.
- 16:04SPEAKER_03: There's no question that this is the beginning, the first election of the future, really.
- 16:09SPEAKER_03: And I think we are moving towards a post-racial America.
- 16:13SPEAKER_03: Yeah, that lasted a day.
- 16:17SPEAKER_03: And then, of course, in 2012, Obama won again.
- 16:21SPEAKER_03: And the lesson was...
- 16:23SPEAKER_03: The GOP needs to send a powerful signal to Hispanic voters that the party respects them.
- 16:31SPEAKER_03: That was the lesson they learned after that victory.
- 16:36SPEAKER_03: And they were certain of it.
- 16:37SPEAKER_03: And send a powerful signal to the Hispanic community, the GOP did.
- 16:42SPEAKER_03: When Mexico sends its people, they're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're rapists.
- 16:49SPEAKER_03: Which apparently was the winning message.
- 16:52SPEAKER_03: And that taught Democrats in 2016 what?
- 16:56SPEAKER_00: Maybe what the Democrats will be looking for is somebody with some inside experience,
- 17:00SPEAKER_00: but who's a generation younger.
- 17:01SPEAKER_03: It's obviously gonna be younger, it's gonna be from a new generation.
- 17:05SPEAKER_03: Need I say it?
- 17:06SPEAKER_03: With great honor and humility, I accept this nomination.
- 17:12SPEAKER_03: And that turned out to be a winning message again, which led to an insurrection.
- 17:18SPEAKER_03: And the lesson from that was...
- 17:21SPEAKER_03: When Donald Trump leaves office on Wednesday morning,
- 17:23SPEAKER_03: he will leave Washington a pariah.
- 17:25SPEAKER_03: Donald Trump will never be allowed to set foot in the Capitol again.
- 17:30SPEAKER_03: Never.
- 17:33SPEAKER_03: Ever.
- 17:35SPEAKER_03: My point is this.
- 17:41SPEAKER_03: But this isn't the end.
- 17:42SPEAKER_03: I promise you, this is not the end.
- 17:47SPEAKER_03: And we have to regroup and we have to continue to fight and continue to work day in
- 17:56SPEAKER_03: and day out to create the better society for our children,
- 18:01SPEAKER_03: for this world,
- 18:02SPEAKER_03: for this country that we know is possible.
- 18:07SPEAKER_03: It's possible.
- 18:18SPEAKER_03: Don't know where, don't know when, but I know we'll meet again some sunny day.
- 18:34SPEAKER_03: Keep smiling through just like you used to.
- 18:41SPEAKER_03: Always do,
- 18:43SPEAKER_03: till the blue skies drive the dark clouds far away So will you please say hello to
- 18:57SPEAKER_03: the folks that I know Tell them I won't be long
- 19:05SPEAKER_03: They'll be happy to know That as you saw me go I was singing this song We'll meet
- 19:18SPEAKER_03: again Don't know when Don't know when But I know we'll meet again Some sunny day
- 19:38SPEAKER_03: We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when, but I know we'll meet again some sunny day.
- 19:59SPEAKER_03: Keep smiling through Just like you always do Till the blue skies dry And the dark
- 20:09SPEAKER_03: clouds far away So will you please say hello To the folks that I know Tell them I
- 20:25SPEAKER_03: won't be long
- 20:30SPEAKER_03: We'll be happy to know that as you slowly go, I will see you this time.
- 20:37SPEAKER_01: We'll meet again, long, long time.
- 20:48SPEAKER_03: But I know we'll meet again some sunny day.
