  Hello and welcome to the first episode of season two. Thank you so much for joining us for our next
• 0:18
  season. We have some very exciting things to cover. This episode we are going to be talking about the
• 0:25
  election, reflecting on the results, the timing of the results, what demographics went which way,
• 0:33
  polling, along with a lot of other topics. So it's going to be an exciting episode. Now without
• 0:41
  further ado, let's dive right in. Okay, so at 5 30 on Wednesday the 6th of November, the election
• 0:52
  was officially called. Trump had won. However, you could pretty much make your guess. People were
• 0:59
  calling it after he got 11 electoral votes. People said it at 8 30. People said it at 10 30. People
• 1:07
  said it at 12 midnight. You could really tell that he was pulling ahead from the very beginning.
• 1:13
  And especially when you like took a closer look at specific states like Virginia where Kamala was
• 1:20
  supposed to win by margins and it was closer than she would have hoped. You could kind of tell that
• 1:25
  the energy in the country and the voters that voted Republican were really strong this election
• 1:33
  year. So, Latreina, what did you kind of feel when not when you saw the results but when you
• 1:40
  were watching as the state came out? So everyone who's listened to our other episodes or checked
• 1:46
  our Instagram posts knows that I thought it would be a close race but I had Kamala winning. I was
• 1:53
  actually like very sure on this. Like I was so convinced and then it started. I just I kind of
• 2:01
  got a bad feeling as soon as it started when she had like zero votes and he had like 20 and logically
• 2:08
  I know that that's because like that's because of what states just get counted first. Her big states
• 2:14
  like Illinois and California and New York their votes hadn't come in yet but I still just got a
• 2:21
  bad feeling and then I think around eight I was like oh okay he won. So that's kind of when I
• 2:27
  really realized. And then in the morning obviously we had the results. So I think it was just not as
• 2:35
  close as I thought it would be and now kind of reading more after the election that makes sense
• 2:42
  but I was still shocked. I thought it was very differently from how I thought it would go.
• 2:47
  Yeah I agree completely. I thought that he was gonna win solely based off of past elections we've
• 2:53
  seen. His I don't want to say fan base but his voter base I guess. Tends to be really vocal and
• 3:04
  really passionate about him when he has run in the past and I just thought there was kind of a very
• 3:10
  low chance that someone not newer into the political space but someone who was thrown with seven
• 3:18
  months into this election after it had been you know four years eight years basically for
• 3:27
  former president Trump. Now I guess soon to be president to kind of rally up his voters
• 3:35
  and I felt as though she definitely did worse in the election than I thought she would. I actually
• 3:47
  think if she had a little more time she could have stated some more policies really given a strong
• 3:54
  clear plan on things. Not that she didn't but you know more like the big the big winner for Trump
• 4:04
  was the economy and also the immigration situation we have at the border and I think that if she
• 4:15
  really put her foot down and made her opinion very clear made her stance very clear what she was
• 4:21
  going to do very clear and set it in a way that obviously differed from current president Biden
• 4:30
  because he's one of our most unfavored president we've had in a very very long time. People do
• 4:37
  not like him and I don't think she strayed far enough away from him. I think people were worried
• 4:43
  that it was kind of going to be another repeat and they were ready to mix it up and I think those
• 4:50
  three things were kind of the biggest giveaways of her election. It was her race to lose as Ryan
• 4:58
  loves to say and she did lose it. Yeah and I do believe it was her race to lose. I mean if she
• 5:05
  came public opinion when she first came into the race was extremely malleable. Very. She had was
• 5:15
  negative 18 percentage points favorability wise which is two times worse than Trump was before
• 5:20
  she was nominated and it flipped to almost a plus one or two as it stands on a few of the averages
• 5:28
  right now. That just just signals the incredible like form that she could take on. She could go
• 5:37
  in a lot of different ways because American people weren't as informed on her as they were on Trump.
• 5:41
  Trump for all intents and purposes information wise is an incumbent. He had everybody knows who
• 5:47
  he is. Everybody knows his most of his policies and his name recognition is even better than
• 5:53
  some candidates who are in office right now. And that's just a product of you know the world that
• 6:02
  Trump has kind of made inherited. And that you know it certainly contributes to the fact of the
• 6:11
  narrative being that Harris lost the race. I mean if you look at the polling averages she had a
• 6:16
  65 percent chance to win this race for a pretty good time. A few weeks and she's always been
• 6:21
  favored up until the last week and Trump he manages to pull off some pretty pretty interesting stuff
• 6:27
  in the in the last week of every every campaign that he's participated in. And we'll talk about
• 6:34
  some systemic stuff later. But it was just quite quite an incredible race because I think I think
• 6:42
  if she had I mean obviously they've looked at it and they've seen the generic Democratic candidates
• 6:49
  pull much further ahead in in electoral college scenarios and popular vote scenarios
• 6:55
  than Donald Trump does. And I think her being able to shape her reputation if she could have got that
• 7:02
  generic Democrat and Trump really tried to paint her as the liberal extremist which I think he did
• 7:07
  a bit of a good job at I think she could have won the race and I think that's kind of what
• 7:11
  it comes down to. Okay so now we're going to move into the Senate and House elections. So I think
• 7:20
  Luchana can talk about the Senate. Okay so the Republicans won the Senate 52 to 46. Most of the
• 7:32
  predicted states went blue such as Washington, California, Michigan, Wisconsin, well I guess
• 7:40
  Michigan and Wisconsin obviously weren't as guaranteed because they went red in the election
• 7:48
  but before they've kind of been considered the blue wall so people were sort of expecting them
• 7:53
  to win. Then obviously like New York and the expected ones also went red like Texas, Florida,
• 8:02
  Mississippi and then the big flip states were West Virginia, Ohio, and Montana. So that was kind of
• 8:14
  what changed things. The Republicans flipped three seats which is kind of what helped them to win.
• 8:25
  Also the Democrats had 28 seats that were not up for election and the Republicans had
• 8:31
  38 just to give some context to that. The most competitive states were Michigan, Nevada, Wisconsin
• 8:42
  for the Democrats and then for the Republicans, Ohio, Texas, Nebraska, Montana, and Florida. So
• 8:49
  the Democrats did not get all of the seats that they needed to flip it but the Republicans
• 8:55
  got more than they needed. And then if we look over at the House election, that's actually still
• 9:02
  going on. It's going to take quite some time for certain states. Currently the Democrats have lost
• 9:10
  two seats. They have 200 and the Republican party has gained the two seats and have 212.
• 9:19
  You need 218 for majority so it is looking as though it will go to the Republicans. Obviously
• 9:27
  California is still going, Washington, Oregon, Maine, Arizona, Alaska, and Iowa.
• 9:37
  So oh and Louisiana and a couple other states but the main ones here we see Arizona going
• 9:45
  to more towards the Republican party. Same with Alaska, same with two it looks like districts
• 9:55
  or like representative sections in Washington and Iowa is just waiting to finish counting theirs
• 10:04
  but that is also going to go to the Republican party. So it looks as though we will have both
• 10:10
  parts of Congress being controlled by the Republicans. So what does this kind of mean? So
• 10:19
  basically, we've talked about this before but I'm going to mention again because I think it's
• 10:22
  really important. Our government runs on a system of checks and balances. Each branch has things
• 10:29
  that they are allowed to do and things that they aren't allowed to do. So the
• 10:33
  legislative branch is allowed to make the laws, the executive branch is allowed to enforce the
• 10:39
  laws, and the judicial branch is allowed to deem those laws unconstitutional. That's how it works.
• 10:45
  The judicial branch can't make laws. They can only deem them unconstitutional. The legislative
• 10:52
  branch can only make laws. They can't deem the laws unconstitutional. They have a power that
• 10:58
  the judicial branch doesn't have. The judicial branch has a power they don't have. So since
• 11:05
  we are going to have a Republican president, our Congress is going to be Republican and obviously
• 11:13
  our Supreme Court is supposed to be unbiased when it comes to picking a political side. However,
• 11:19
  there is a majority that have been
• 11:22
  appointed by Republican presidents. So we also see the two oldest justices, the Chief Justice,
• 11:30
  Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito. So these are the two oldest members and they will retire under
• 11:39
  Trump so that they can ensure that their spot will be taken up or they should. I don't know
• 11:47
  what they will do, but they should retire under Trump if they want to keep that 6-3 split that we
• 11:52
  see in the House. The way to continue that is if when they retire or leave the court, they then get
• 12:03
  replaced by someone appointed by a Republican president keeping the 6-3 split. Like I said,
• 12:12
  twice now. Sorry. But why is this so important? Is the argument that any legislation could in
• 12:20
  theory be passed and deemed constitutional. So without a system of checks and balances,
• 12:27
  this idea that you could basically just become a dictator is very present. Holy cannoli. I cannot
• 12:34
  speak right now. It's very present. But it's not a system that you can just take and just take.
• 12:40
  Now it's very present. However, there are a lot of people that identify as Republican that don't
• 12:46
  identify with Trump's MAGA beliefs. So we will obviously see pushback. Things that he has said
• 12:52
  he wants to do like get rid of the Board of Education won't happen. There are not enough
• 12:57
  people who agree with that stance. Now there is obviously some smaller pieces of legislation that
• 13:03
  will have an easier time getting through all, well I guess the two branches of government and then if
• 13:10
  it gets challenged it would have an easier time being deemed constitutional. This would be
• 13:14
  legislation such as Trump's plan to enforce tariffs on goods coming into the U.S. and like minor,
• 13:23
  not minor, but minor legislation like that. Legislation that won't really change the way
• 13:28
  that our government is working. It'll just change certain things that all presidents are changing. So
• 13:34
  he will just have an easier time and less pushback on or less revisions on those laws. So another
• 13:40
  thing this brings up is Project 2025. So we did a episode on this a while back but it's basically
• 13:49
  a kind of plan written by very conservative people for what the next Republican presidency
• 13:55
  should look like. So it includes things like not teaching critical race theory. It teaches things like...
• 14:06
  The whole thing is to bring back traditional and I say that in quotations here. Family values. Yes.
• 14:14
  The man woman, two kids, goes to church every Sunday. White picket fence. Yes, very white, yes, very white
• 14:22
  picket fence family. The whole thing is to bring that back. This was written by people that are very
• 14:30
  prevalent in the Republican party. It's written by people who used to be on his staff. They're
• 14:35
  written by people that are currently on his staff. So back to what Luchano was saying. So I think
• 14:42
  before people were saying like, I don't know if that could really happen because surely there
• 14:49
  would be some group that contests that surely it would be the Supreme Court that says no we can't
• 14:54
  do that or the House or the Senate that says no we can't do that. But now that... Pardon me, all of
• 15:01
  these places are controlled by Republican groups. Theoretically it could happen and I'm obviously
• 15:07
  not saying that every Republican likes this idea. Of course that not every Republican does. Even
• 15:13
  the soon-to-be president Trump said himself like, I don't agree with this. But it's just the idea
• 15:20
  that it could happen now because all three branches are controlled by the conservatives.
• 15:27
  Yeah and obviously this argument can be made with... I mean Obama had the same thing and I don't
• 15:35
  remember which of his terms but in one of them where he controlled all three branches or the
• 15:40
  Democratic party controlled all three branches and he didn't actually get to pass everything he
• 15:46
  wanted to because of pushback. So we will see pushback obviously and we're not saying we won't.
• 15:51
  We are mainly just pointing out the fact that there will be less amounts of checks amounts and
• 15:57
  also kind of restating something that we brought up a couple episodes ago on why it is super
• 16:05
  important to understand exactly the effects of your vote. Not only what the person you're voting
• 16:12
  in, the president or the representative that you're voting in, what they want to do but also how
• 16:18
  that will affect the overall government system that we have in place. All right so some of the
• 16:27
  roundtable stuff that we're going to talk about especially post-election is going to be coming
• 16:31
  from exit polls. A quick little thing is that the exit polls you see online there's two different
• 16:36
  types of them. There's exit polls that came out right after the election. I prefer if you don't
• 16:40
  look at those there's weighted exit polls they factor in demographic stuff it's much more reliable
• 16:44
  and interesting. We will link the ones that we're using into the post. Yeah we will obviously we'll
• 16:49
  link the Washington Post one. We might use some New York Times ones later but most likely we're
• 16:54
  going to use the Washington Post one because it was the most recent and they have some pretty
• 16:57
  good cross tabs and stuff. The first thing I want to talk about was Trump's over performing with
• 17:03
  Hispanic and Latino voters. He received a 46% of the vote share to Harris's 52%. These don't
• 17:09
  necessarily add up to 100 because there's third party and they do rounding and it's kind of very
• 17:14
  complicated but he really overperformed with Latinos. Elle why do you think Trump over
• 17:20
  performed with the Latino population especially in more southern Sunbelt states? Yeah honestly
• 17:25
  I'm not 100% sure. I personally like from what I've heard him and his party say recently obviously
• 17:36
  not in the past and not how it's gone recently about that specific group of people. If I was
• 17:43
  a part of that group I don't think I would necessarily want to vote for that person but
• 17:46
  I think a big part that plays into it is things like bringing trying to bring American labor
• 17:52
  back into the U.S. I think with the tariffs obviously we're seeing him we're seeing Trump
• 17:57
  enforce these tariffs or says he wants to enforce them so that we can bring manufacturing back into
• 18:03
  the U.S. and this will open up a bunch of manufacturing jobs which is really great for people who
• 18:10
  are doing other types of jobs that may be less more menial. Yeah more menial and I think
• 18:17
  that is a big reason why he overperformed in that group. How about you? Right Lucharna do you want to go or do you want me to talk about it?
• 18:25
  I agree with what Elle said. I honestly don't know I honestly like can't understand why people would do that if
• 18:34
  their group is being criticized but I think Elle's points do make sense. Yeah and we see it all the
• 18:40
  time like it's less I think people are caring less more about what the person is saying more what the
• 18:47
  person is going to be doing and I think especially when their things are not being said about you
• 18:54
  as three privileged people that are white in America we don't really have things that are
• 19:02
  harming us in words so I think it's kind of hard to know how these people would be reacting when you
• 19:08
  have nothing to go off. I totally agree with that and I think there's there's two other things they
• 19:13
  kind of both hit on them that contributed to you know the the Latino turnout that was quite good
• 19:19
  for Trump as I said especially in some belt states Texas Georgia places like that and that's you know
• 19:25
  a lot of people thought that Trump's anti-immigrant you know sort of rhetoric you know costs him a lot
• 19:31
  of the Latino vote but a lot and from what I've been seeing in a few interviews actually is that
• 19:36
  there's a mentality among especially among the people who are voting the legal immigrants
• 19:41
  especially coming from you know more southern countries is there's an us versus them that they
• 19:45
  think that they because they immigrated legally they don't necessarily believe that you should
• 19:51
  be able to to cross the border illegally and then immediately get citizenship because they worked
• 19:55
  for it and that that's kind of what I've been seeing in a few interviews but there's a general
• 19:59
  thing that we're going to kind of be referencing a lot in this in this little portion and that's
• 20:03
  inflation and prices and cost of living and that determined it for almost every group. If you look
• 20:10
  at the cross tabs and you look at the people who are concerned about certain stuff economy rocked
• 20:16
  the charts. Democracy came in I think a close second and a lot of them immigration came in
• 20:22
  third or fourth in most of them but the economy trumps everything and Trump trumps Kamala on the
• 20:29
  economy in most polls so that's going to kind of bring us do you guys have any like interesting
• 20:34
  demographics you want to talk about particularly? Yeah so I want to talk about gender so we saw
• 20:41
  Trump do better with male voters he got 55 percent of the male vote and Harris got 42 percent but she
• 20:49
  did about the flip with women so she got 53 percent of the female vote and he got 45 percent.
• 20:57
  Obviously when you like break it down into ethnic groups she did significantly better with
• 21:05
  people identifying as black females he did better with people identifying as white males
• 21:11
  it kind of goes down to obviously how they care about the policy but also people vote for the
• 21:18
  person that they kind of relate to more how they can kind of see themselves relating to more so a
• 21:23
  white male is more likely to vote for a white male president solely because they see themselves
• 21:29
  within that group versus a black woman is more likely to vote for another black woman it's just
• 21:36
  how things like that work in society. Yeah totally agree with that and I think especially with the
• 21:42
  woman vote I think the Democrats their fatal error was thinking too much they they dreamt too
• 21:48
  much about the 2022 midterms where abortion ruled the ballot and women turned out because women are
• 21:54
  typically more civilly engaged but in this election the woman versus men turnout wasn't as
• 22:01
  egregious as it was in 2022 and women really didn't they voted a split ticket on some issues in some
• 22:08
  states for referendums but if you look at say a place in Arizona that has really been a contentious
• 22:15
  spot for abortion Trump got 50 percent of the woman vote compared to Harris's 49 percent
• 22:20
  so you're looking at a place in which more women voted for Trump than Harris that's rare to ever
• 22:28
  be seen in any state let alone a swing state so that's just I think a product of the fact that
• 22:33
  Democrats bank too much on abortion I think there are a lot of women who sympathize with the abortion
• 22:37
  message but I think when it comes down to prices and inflation and other things that are going to
• 22:43
  be the main focus of the conversation I think sometimes that shows precedence over the abortion
• 22:51
  issue and I think Democrats this is their little awakening to that reality for them and I think
• 22:57
  in upcoming elections you know the 2026 midterms there's going to be much maybe less of a full
• 23:04
  campaign made on abortion rights so Luchana I think she has a topic that she really wants to talk
• 23:10
  about sorry just to kind of chime in before she gets that because it ties in we were looking at
• 23:17
  the religions of past presidents and they've already updated the Wikipedia page with Trump
• 23:23
  being the 45th and 47th president and both of his new terms that's very interesting they work fast
• 23:27
  over at Wikipedia go donate if you haven't yet do you donate to Wikipedia L okay so our topic now
• 23:36
  is religion so starting off with Catholic voters they voted 40% for Kamala and around 60% for Trump
• 23:51
  they make up 22% of voters so quite a nice big chunk there people tend to vote for a candidate
• 23:59
  that shares values of their religion so soon-to-be president Trump is a Protestant Christian so I
• 24:06
  think the Catholics could definitely relate to him sharing their values of Christianity and then
• 24:12
  the Protestants voted 36% for Kamala and 63% for Trump so again I think they could really
• 24:20
  see themselves sharing those values and for a lot of people for whom religion is a big part of their
• 24:25
  life they think that it's like a good quality for a person to have so I think that might have been
• 24:30
  an important factor for some people and oh sorry yeah they made up 42% of the vote so that was a
• 24:37
  super big chunk and a super probably a really important group to kind of do good in when it
• 24:44
  comes to the religious breakdown I will also say that the black Protestants or evangelicals
• 24:52
  tended to vote very heavily towards Kamala which I think is something she kind of leaned into
• 24:57
  talking about like her faith a bit during this election but it was not enough yeah and also in
• 25:04
  the exit polls that we're looking at none is an option so this is not people who this is like all
• 25:12
  voters because none is an option so if they believe in a higher power or they're part of a faith
• 25:20
  or they don't that's an option too and then next we have people who are Jewish so they only make
• 25:29
  up 2% of the vote but they voted overwhelmingly for Kamala with 78% voting for her and 22% voting
• 25:39
  for Trump now they are the only group that we have on here that just doesn't have any margin
• 25:45
  for other the war we see in Gaza right now definitely played a part in affecting how this
• 25:54
  group voted so I think a lot of people liked the idea of someone who would be giving aid to people
• 26:00
  and then people who identify as other religions so Muslim, Hindu, whatever they identify as
• 26:08
  voted 60% for Kamala, 7% for an other which is the largest group that we have
• 26:18
  voting for a third party yes thank you Ryan and 34% for Trump I think this could also have something
• 26:25
  to do with the war in Gaza a lot of people that identify as other I think could definitely
• 26:30
  identify as Islam or Muslim as people could identify as Muslim a part of the Islam faith
• 26:36
  which is very prevalent religion and they could want a candidate that is willing to support
• 26:42
  Palestine more and then people who don't identify as a religion make up 25% and they voted 70% for
• 26:50
  Kamala and 26% for Trump all right like usual there's some polling stuff mainly we're going to
• 27:00
  look at it in retrospect look at what the models said look at what the polls said and see how
• 27:06
  accurate they were because a lot of this podcast up until this point hadn't been us reporting and
• 27:10
  analyzing and looking at the polls and we just want to tell you guys kind of what we see from
• 27:16
  the polls now after the election and just kind of stuff surrounding that and a few other things
• 27:22
  that I'll get to at the end first of all a little quick fun fact the 538 model which I used personally
• 27:29
  a lot and they used most of the time the most likely outcome of their few thousand outcomes they
• 27:37
  ran was the outcome that happened with Harris at 226 this was just a bit more likely than a
• 27:47
  Harris full sweep which would end Trump at 226 obviously I'm talking about electoral votes but
• 27:52
  I just thought this was a fun fact because it shows how accurate these models are at predicting
• 27:57
  elections however like usual I'm not sure how it happens every year or every election cycle
• 28:07
  but Trump managed to get some systemic polling error this year was around four points a nationally
• 28:14
  popular vote it's been like that for Trump all three presidential election years that he's had
• 28:20
  been on the ballot the polls significantly underestimated him in 2016 the polls pretty
• 28:28
  good underestimated him 2020 and they significantly underestimated him this year again nationally and
• 28:37
  in state and municipality level he looks like he's exceeding the projected by around 4.5 points which
• 28:45
  is around what the polling error is and that kind of the reason those the 538 model was so
• 28:52
  hell-bent on those two outcomes being very likely was actually because of the fact and this is what
• 28:58
  a lot of reporting actually said before election it was very likely to be a sweep by either one
• 29:03
  candidate because if there was a just a bit of systemic polling error because the states were
• 29:07
  so close it could have tipped the election the scale of the election so heavily one can that
• 29:15
  it could have been a full sweep obviously there were tons of scenarios in which that would have
• 29:19
  never happened but they were considering it secondly quick victory lap no i'm just kidding
• 29:26
  but i was right and seltzer's poll leading up to the election usually she has some outlier polls
• 29:32
  um coming up before the election but not to be uh trump won iowa handedly i thought there were
• 29:39
  demographic errors as i just compared uh cross tabs and the anselster poll didn't line up perfectly
• 29:46
  like i thought but um you know you can't rely on one poll you can't rely on that it won't remember
• 29:53
  one poll unless it's a very high quality pollster like cnn new york times stuff like that um i
• 30:00
  wouldn't put much weight on them right now future elections midterms whatever it is uh just because
• 30:07
  of the fact that just a bit of sampling error uh could mean a few points in either direction which
• 30:13
  is what happened in the anselster poll obviously this happens in a lot of polls hers are just more
• 30:18
  notable um and that's kind of going to wrap up just a quick overview on what happened to the polling
• 30:24
  there was a bit of systemic pointer under sampling of trump voters um maybe some people
• 30:30
  saying that they were gonna vote for harris the vote over trump maybe because somebody was in
• 30:33
  vicinity obviously there's a multitude of reasons why you can attribute it and the last thing i do
• 30:39
  want to talk about was about the markets um there's been some funny reactions soybean markets have
• 30:45
  gone significantly down i'll explain that in just a second stock market uh is reaching record highs
• 30:51
  bitcoin reaching record highs and i'll talk about that in just a second but uh quite quite uh
• 30:57
  volatility in the market this week and just to kind of start with bitcoin trump has said he's
• 31:02
  going to be the most crypto president ever um you know take that for what you will but the bitcoin
• 31:09
  people really love it and it has exceeded um it's all time high this week i'm pretty sure stock
• 31:15
  market has hit time highs in a lot of segments um and well i'll talk about soybean futures later
• 31:22
  i can't wait to get to those but um first got to talk about the bitcoin um trump has promised and
• 31:29
  i'm quoting he'll be the most uh crypto friendly president on earth and that he will bring crypto
• 31:36
  back to the united states um bitcoin people apparently love this uh the stock has a gun
• 31:43
  you should have seen it on on election night it was just going higher and higher as the chance of
• 31:47
  trump's win went higher and higher um as you see that you're also looking at the stock market
• 31:55
  uh in correlation to trump's win probability obviously trump and the conservative and republican
• 32:01
  agenda in the united states favors deregulation um this is not new to the united states this has
• 32:07
  been like it for a while um obviously the banks jumped quite a bit because of deregulation especially
• 32:15
  from stuff from the 2008 financial crisis uh was one of the key things that he you know he started
• 32:21
  deregulating his first term and most likely will will continue to in a second but to hit on what i
• 32:27
  think is one of the most fun things um soybean futures have dropped through the floor um not
• 32:36
  fully but they have certainly lost a lot of their uh value uh this is mainly due towards you know
• 32:43
  trump he's saying 10 20 percent tariffs on all goods coming into united states obviously soybeans
• 32:49
  are a big big export in the united states if you've ever gone on a road trip you see corn fields and
• 32:54
  soybean fields uh that's pretty much it pretty boring uh but it is a lot of money you are seeing
• 33:00
  in front of your eyes and a lot of that goes to china eventually and if we put 10 20 percent
• 33:05
  shares in china along with additional stuff because of the you know anti-chinese or anti-ccp
• 33:12
  sentiment about regarding trading in the trump administration you can easily see a trade war um
• 33:18
  and the soybeans would become part of that it's just kind of a cool thing the futures dropped a
• 33:22
  lot and it just shows kind of how much the presidency can affect the different parts of
• 33:29
  markets even as far as soybeans and other crops in the united states um that's going to end off
• 33:35
