Speaker 1 (00:02):
The folks are coming in. Who will lead the free
world for the next four years? It's hither duplass.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Ellen drive with one uz left, Let's get connected news
talks d be.

Speaker 3 (00:14):
All right, Good afternoon. It's looking like it's an uphill
battles for Kamala Harris from here, and pretty sweet for
Donald Trump. Donald Trump is leading in all of the
swing states bar one, which is Nevada because counting hasn't
actually started there yet. And it's a very happy time
at Trump HQ.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
You can hear a Donald Trump's favorite song, Ymca is
playing behind me. And certainly the audience here has gotten
a lot livelier in just the last forty five minutes
or so. Jake, We've been here for several hours, and
that matches the feeling back at mar A Lago, where
we are hearing from Trump campaign sources that they are
feeling a lot more optimistic about these numbers.

Speaker 3 (00:47):
Political commentator Dominic carts with us. Dominic, Hello, have a
good afternoon.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
Is so nice to be here with you.

Speaker 3 (00:54):
It is good to talk to you. I see New
York Times has got him on an eighty eight percent
chance of a win.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
Had a use of this, Yes, well, Heather. I've been
calling this for a while because all indications were and
I've been covering politics for some forty years, Kamala Harris
has not been the ideal candidate for the Democrats, and
she hasn't resonated exactly the way that they expected her to.

(01:21):
Case in point, she hasn't done and this may be
hard to believe, she has not done one news conference
as the Democratic nominee. And so the swing states. I
have not seen this much excitement in America in many,
many years, one way or the other. Whether you support Trump,
don't support Trump, whether you hate Trump love Kamala Harris,

(01:43):
all indications are Heather. As of right now, the votes
are still coming in, but as of right now, Trump
is doing exceedingly well in the battle ground states and
world get ready because it looks like Trump is coming
back for a second term.

Speaker 3 (01:59):
Now, how on earth have we got this so wrong?
Once again? Not seeing that Trump was gonna win it, well, some.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
Of us predicted it from day one, And I'm not
saying that to my own horn. I'm saying that is
because if you understand how much he's able to resonate
with people, the economy here in America, Heather is bad,
crime is bad. We have a migrant problem, a homeless problem.
And Trump's line Heather at every campaign event where he

(02:31):
started with was is your life better off now than
it was four years ago? And obviously the answer is
it was better under his tenure. So again, you know,
things can change, but I don't think it's going to
He's headed back to the White House, and with his supporters,
many of them have not told posters Heather whether or

(02:55):
not they were gonna support Trump. I don't know why
they didn't tell the posters, but you're correct. Yet again,
posters have this wrong by all in every indication. It
is a strong possibility, really strong that he has headed
back to the White House.

Speaker 3 (03:11):
Is anything going her way tonight, dominic? Because I looked
at the swing states that she had the lead in Pennsylvania, Michigan,
and I think it was Wisconsin. She he's leading, you know,
that was the lead going into it. He's leading in
all of them. So is anything actually happening for her
this evening?

Speaker 1 (03:27):
No?

Speaker 2 (03:27):
And the clear sign of that, Heather, her people are
not saying anything, not saying anything to the media, trying
to spend their side. Trump is even doing well with
African American black voters and Hispanic voters getting higher numbers
than any other Republican So that's something wrong when the

(03:48):
nominee for your party happens to be black and she
can't resonate with her own race. That it just didn't work, Heather,
It did not work for her. It was an experiment
that we're bad and wrong for the Democrats, and they're
learning the hard way right now.

Speaker 3 (04:04):
Composed back, Dominic, Thanks so much, mate, enjoy your evening.
