Nicole Malliotakis | New York District 11 Congresswoman Speaks from the Loneliest Winner's Circle Following Midterm Massacre of GOP · Sid & Friends In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Thank God for my next guest, who's a rock star.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: She was on with us yesterday. She's an amazing lady.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Star on Staten Island. Star in Brooklyn. And she won yesterday.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: How about that?
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: A Republican that actually won my friend Nicole Maliotakis.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Nicole, good morning. Congratulations.
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: Good morning, Sid. Thank you. And thank you to the
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: people of Brooklyn and Staten Island who had my back.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: Remember when we started this journey, we had to go
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: to court. We had to go all the way to
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: the U.S. Supreme Court just to protect the district lines,
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: to preserve the voices of the people of Staten Island
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: and Brooklyn. And yesterday they came out resoundedly and I
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: very much appreciate that they have my back and are
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: sending me to Washington to continue to fight for our
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: community and our country.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Why do you think And I asked Randy Fine the
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: same thing, although most of the people in those districts
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: that were supposed to.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Win did win.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Why do you think you had all the success and
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: yet some of your best friends, incumbents, who are great
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: at their job, did not?
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: You know, I think it's hard to say. You have
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: to look at the specific district's dynamics, but it is
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: surprising in the bluest of cities when we have an
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: enrollment disadvantage that really is double-digit Democrat advantage in my
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: district that we were able to win and win handedly.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: And then you see ruby red districts in red states
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: where we've lost good people. And a lot of my
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: colleagues that did not prevail yesterday, these are Very good Americans.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: They're passionate about their work. They were in Congress for
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: the right reasons. And to me, it's very sad to
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: see them go because they're the members you want. They're
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: the members that you actually want in Congress, people who
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: are fighting for the right thing. Look, I think a
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: lot of it has to do with the local climate.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: In this state, people in my district were very unhappy
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: with the election of Zoran Mandani. They were very unhappy
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: with Kathy Hochul, very unhappy with Chuck Schumer. And they
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: didn't vote for Joe Biden. They voted for President Trump twice.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: And they feel, I believe, that I'm one of the
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: few voices of common sense fighting for this city. And
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: I think it's also the fact that we've delivered a
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: lot for this district. At the end of the day,
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: I have to get Democrat votes to win. And I
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: think Democrats cross over and vote for me because I've
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: delivered for the district. I brought home hundreds of millions
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: of dollars for transportation, infrastructure, NYPD, FDNY, our senior centers,
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: and our Fort Hamilton Army Base, and our Brooklyn VA.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: And also, we have great constituent services. We've helped 25,000
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: people in our district resolve very complicated cases. Everything from,
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: you know, when people, sometimes the IRS thinks you're dead,
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: we have to resolve that issue. So you have difficulty
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: getting your social security disability. We're there. You're at the,
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: you know, you have a vacation in a week. You
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: realize your passport's expired. We can help with that. Immigration issues.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: And I think at the end of the day, constituent
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: services matter. And I don't know, you know, it's hard
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: to tell what happens in other districts. And then of course,
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: there's some people who are genuinely upset with the president
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: and They think he went too far, too fast on
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: certain issues, whether it be the Doge cuts or whether
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: it be immigration. And that was all obviously a big
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: thing that was expressed last night. Um, and so, you know,
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: we go to Washington now, we, we need to obviously
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: assess everything that's going on, but, but, but it's going
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: to be much harder for people like me to be
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: able to do my job. You know, not only am
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: I in this sea of Democrats here in New York city,
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: but now we have some really radical members, Democrats that
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: were elected last night and they're going to be empowered
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: because they're going to have this large majority and that's
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: going to make it much harder to fight for our
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: city and and for our country and stop this socialism train.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: But we will prevail, I believe. But it has become
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: significantly more difficult to stop this socialist train wreck that
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: is trying to attack us.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: We are not going to prevail, by the way. We
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: have great people like you, thank God, and Randy and others.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: We're not going to prevail. We're in big trouble. That's
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: my opinion. Maybe I'm not the optimist that you are.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: But I will ask you this.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: You know, a couple of years ago, when I really
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: started to get into this and started to gain some
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: popularity in New York and even around the country, even
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: with President Trump, I go back to that dinner we had, Nicole,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: the night before they threw me out of the State
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: of the Union. And sitting at that table was you.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Anthony D'Esposito. He lost the next time around to Laura Gillen,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: who won again yesterday.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: She beat Janine Driscoll. And Mike Lawler.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: And Mike Lawler, I was there last night hosting his event.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: When I arrived, we never even considered a loss. Didn't
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: even consider it. And by 9.30 last night, just about
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: everybody there was crying. So I go back to that dinner,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: how close you were with Anthony, with Mike. Forget about
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: people outside the state. Inside the state. They're gone now.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: What does that mean to you?
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Look, Mike Lawler is a great member. I mean, again,
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: it goes back to the ones who lost last night
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: are the members you really want. Mike Lawler is the
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: type of member who was pragmatic. He was willing to
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: work across party lines. He fought like hell for his district.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: He delivered results. And he was always a voice of
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: reason and common sense within the conference and That was,
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: I think, a more shocking loss. I really thought Mike
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: was going to win this race. I was shocked that
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: he conceded so early and that it was done so early.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: But then when you look at my colleagues in Long Island,
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: and thankfully, Nick LaLotta, Andrew Garbarino, both great members from
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: Long Island, they pulled through. But it was a really
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: tight margin, really tight margins. And, you know, it was, look,
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: I think it was a shock. And I think we
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: need to learn from this as Republicans. We need to
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: look at the members who won and say, what were
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: they doing right? And then look at the members who
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: lost and say, is there something that could have been
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: done better, whether it's a communication, whether it's helping them
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: have the resources to get their message out next time around.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: I think the silver lining in all this is we're
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: going to have a rough two years, but I think
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: the Democrats are going to behave so terribly and they
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: will disappoint the American people so much that it will
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: guarantee that we keep the White House safe. Republicans keep
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: the White House in 2028. So I think that's the
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: silver lining here. New York's in trouble. That is a
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: different story. New York is in trouble. And I was
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: on your show, I was on multiple shows saying Republicans
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: needed to come out in presidential numbers and they didn't.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: And that was our failure because if everyone who came
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: out in the presidential year and voted for President Trump
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: voted yesterday for Bruce Blakeman, he would be governor today.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: That is a fact. That is a fact. The numbers
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: show that. sadly, they did not come out. And now
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: we have to deal with the consequences of apathy, voter apathy.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Listen, you know how much I love President Trump. So
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: do you. We're both very close friends of the president.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: But anybody who held a rally in their district and
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: had Trump there lost yesterday. So I've been talking all
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: morning long with every guest I had. I called into
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: WABC from Lawler's headquarters last night. I'm not going to
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: lie to you. I spoke to a few Republicans. Forget
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: about Democrats, Nicole.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: Republicans.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: First thing they said to me was Trump. So, you know,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: we can talk about Iran. We can talk about gas.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: We can talk about eggs. We can talk about inflation.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: We can talk about those, whatever you want. But even
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Republicans were saying last night, the country has just grown
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: tired of Trump and they're angry. And that's why you
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: guys took it on the chin last night.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: That's what they said.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: No, and I don't disagree with that assessment. I think that,
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: you know, there's a lot of things that could have
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: been done differently. And I think, you know, it was
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: hard to get him sometimes to stay focused on our
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: successes and focus on what we were doing. That was
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: good that we needed to get out there more and
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: talk about, you know, sometimes these rallies are filled with
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: a lot of. rhetoric and talk about nonsense when we
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: need to really focus on the wins. Because under President
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump, we have delivered a lot of success.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: No doubt.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: Yes, we have challenges, but we did deliver the largest
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: middle class tax cut. We did secure the border. The
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: number of criminals that have been removed from New York
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: City because we were in control. Look, convicted murderers, rapists,
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: sex offenders, drug traffickers, the worst of the worst. They've
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: been removed. They were walking free because of Kathy Hochul
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: and Zoran Mondani. If it were not for President Trump,
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: this city would be much, much less safe. And so
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: those are facts. Fentanyl deaths have come down 24% in
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: just the first year after he secured the border. There
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: have been a lot of good wins, trillions of dollars
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: in private investment. The problem is when we talk about
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: all sorts of other things, like the reflecting pool. It's
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: not helpful.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: I know. I'm with you. Trust me.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: And the Kennedy Center and things like that. That's crazy.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Silly.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: So I think we need to be more disciplined. in
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: our communication, talk about what we've done to make this
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: country safer, more secure, make it more affordable. Look, we
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: inherited a disaster from Joe Biden. I mean, people know that.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: I mean, the border was a disaster, 9% inflation, things
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: were not good. It's going to take time to undo
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: that mess, but we did have a lot of good
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: things that we accomplished in two years. Sadly, much of
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: it could be potentially erased. I mean, who knows what
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: they're going to try to pull with you know, the
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: Department of Homeland Security and taxes and all that. I mean,
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: let's see. We just need to, I think, reevaluate. You know,
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: we know what went wrong here. Let's try to figure
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: out how we're going to, you know, try to push
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: back on these people so we could survive.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Survive is the key word. Two more in the house,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: I'll let you run. And I asked Randy Fine this earlier,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: and his answer will probably be the same as yours.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Your new boss, basically, boss is the wrong word, obviously, speaker,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: is Hakeem Jeffries. It was Mike Johnson. How much of
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: a change is that going to be for you, going
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: from Johnson to Jeffries?
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean, it couldn't be a bigger swing. This
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: is what I'll say. Hakeem is actually my neighboring district, right?
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: I served with him one term, my first term in
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: the New York State Assembly. He was in the Assembly.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: You know, I think I can get along with him.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: I think that we're going to disagree a lot. And
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: I think what I'm most concerned about is the radical
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: bunch that he has in that conference. I think that
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: even he... is not as left-wing as you think he is.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: I think it's going to be these crazies that push
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: him more and more to the left.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: When you say these crazies, two in particular, that one
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: last night, Chevalier, who wipes her dirty hands with the
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: American flag, she hates our country, Valdez. These people are
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: much worse than Hakeem Jeffries, right?
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: No, exactly.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: And then you've got the other guy from New Jersey,
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: character witness for the blind sheik. Right. I mean, come on.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: This is like crazy stuff. And these people are going
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: to be the ones that really dictate the agenda. It's
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: going to be those radicals that are going to be empowered.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: Because if Hakeem wants to be speaker, he's going to
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: have to make deals to keep them and their support.
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: And that's what I'm more concerned about. Um, so, you know,
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: it's going to be rough out there. It's going to
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: be rough for two years, but thankfully we still have
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: president Trump in the white house and he's going to
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: be able to veto a lot of their nonsense. There's
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: going to be, Real showdown here. Right. And, you know,
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: they're going to waste a lot of time, investigations, investigations
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: and hearings and all that sort of stuff. And so
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: we'll see.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: No, but you say, you know, you say they're going
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: to waste a lot of time. I just had Ron
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Johnson on.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: I love the guy. He's a senator from Wisconsin.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: So, look, you know, a couple of years ago when
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: the House would impeach President Trump.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: The Senate would just throw out the charges. Well, now
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: you've lost the Senate too. We've lost the Senate too.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: So all of a sudden, those waste of time investigations
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: may be a lot hairier than the president, who I love,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: his family, friends like me.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Anybody can be subpoenaed. You just don't know. And now
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: that we don't have the House or the Senate, this
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: could get a little hairy, Nicole.
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, no, definitely. I mean, they do not have
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: the votes to impeach, I mean, to convict in the Senate.
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: But yeah, look, it's going to be a showdown. There's
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: no doubt about it. And we've, you know, we're concerned
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: about this the entire time. We were hoping that we
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: could be a little more reasonable when it comes to
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: certain policies. I think we do need to do something
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: about immigration. We can't continue down this path. We're going
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: to need to continue what we're doing in enforcing immigration laws,
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: but look for legal pathways for people to come to
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: this country, to contribute to our society, to help our economy.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: Our healthcare system needs workers. We need to look at
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: the big picture here. And I think on... You know,
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: but but hopefully this war is going to end soon,
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: because that was, I think, a big problem in this election.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: You know, I said I said months ago on that
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Tuesday night that he should have just leveled them. I'm
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: going back like six months ago. He said, nah, I'll
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: give him 10 more days. If he would have done
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: that good, better and different and we weren't still talking
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: about Iran, it wouldn't have hurt us as much as
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: it hurt us yesterday.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: We never should have kept this thing going this long.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: Bottom line.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no one thought it was going to take this long,
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: and that's the other issue. So, I mean, there was
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: more complications there than we anticipated, but people do need
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: to remember that we did not have boots on the ground,
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: which was the number one thing that American people did
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: not want. So, you know, we had to do it
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: in a different way. But every time you thought there
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: was a deal, the deal blew up, right? Right. Well,
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: they're never going to make a deal.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: They're never going to make a deal.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, sometimes with– and same thing, though, with the tariffs, right? Canada, Mexico,
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: every time you think there's close to a deal, it
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: falls apart. So it's hard. It's– governing is not easy.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: Negotiating with other countries and particularly the number one state
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: sponsor of terrorism is not easy. He did this for
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: the right reason because our national security– look, this is
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: a– I don't want to have this debate again, but
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: I'm just going to simply lay it out here that
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: they were very close to having a nuclear weapon. They
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: have attempted to assassinate the president and the first family.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: They threatened to attack us on our own soil. They
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: were supporting Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis, the worst terrorist organizations. And,
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: you know, something needs to be done. We could not
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: continue with these threats that were out there and how
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: close they were to a nuclear weapon. Now, we had
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: wished that it would just had finish sooner and we
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: wouldn't be dealing with this right now. And I agree
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: with you. That was a big complication. But I think
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: a lot of it is also the rhetoric. A lot
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: of it is the lack of focus on the important issues. Again,
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: I think there's other things out there that could have
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: been a lot of unforced errors.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: A lot of those. That's a good way to put it.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: Unforced errors. Unforced errors. Yes.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Last 30 seconds, my friend Jay Feeley, the great football
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: player for the Jets and Giants, and.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: Played on 10 teams. He lost everything. Excuse me. He
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: lost in Arizona yesterday.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: But your good buddy, a man who was on the
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: last Yankee team to win the World Series, Mark Teixeira,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: is now a colleague of yours.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, that definitely is a silver lining, that at
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: least Mark Teixeira will be in Congress. And as a
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: Yankee fan, he was always my favorite player. As a
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: Yankee fan, I'm very excited to serve with Mark Teixeira.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: He's going to be a great member. He's very well-spoken.
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: He's charismatic. It's good looking.
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: And he's going to be very, very, very, very strong member.
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: I think you're going to see a lot of good
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: things from him in the future. So that was that
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: was a positive.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: That was good.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: Positive victory.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Otherwise, Texas took a beating yesterday outside of Mark Teixeira.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Texas completely fell apart.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: We lost them.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Nicole, congratulations to you. I'm not surprised you won. You're
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: amazing at what you do. You're not even good.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: You're amazing.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: And now the work gets harder. Like I said to
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Randy Pine, we needed you before. Now we really need you.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: So good luck, and we'll talk often, I'm sure. Nicole,
• 16:30
