Speaker 1 (00:01):
Well, yesterday was election day. The control of Congress is
still at state though. All four hundred and thirty five
seats in the House and thirty five of the one
hundred seats in the Senate were on the ballot, and
as of right now, the control of each is still
hanging in the balance. There are also goobernatorial elections, yeah,

(00:22):
in battle brown states like Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
Unlike the presidential election, the midterm elections are all about
the popular vote. That is why it is so important
for everyone to vote, and that everyone did vote in
yesterday's election. So let's break it down for what we know.
So first, Steve Okay, Pennsylvania showed up and they showed out.

(00:47):
I gotta say that first Senate race. First, in the
Senate race, we gotta say congratulations to John Federman. You
know that was Oprah's pick. John Fetterman is the new
Senator and we needed that Senate seat. Fetterman beat doctor

(01:08):
Oz Television Quality and doctor doctor Oz. And also congratulations
to Pennsylvania Governor John Shapiro, who defeated the Republican Doug Mastriano.
Now moving on to New York, Steve. New York elected
its first female Democratic governor and Kathy Hokel. If you recall,

(01:30):
Hokel has been governor since August of twenty twenty one,
with the resignation of former Governor Andrew Pomo. She was
lieutenant governor back then. Nice huh huh, yeah, we lost
the Democratic seat in Ohio Republican vance one there in
North Carolina Republican. Well, when I went to bed, she

(01:53):
was winning, but Republican Ted Bud pulled it off. He
won against the Democratic Sherry Beasley, the sister there. Um,
she was looking good though initially. Moving on to Florida,
Republican Desantist Ronda Santis has been reelected the governor and
a Republican. Mark Rubio defeated Democratic candidate val Demmings in

(02:18):
the Senate race. Boo, that's all I can say to that,
Rubio says. I mean, you know, American politics, it's just
it's look, when it comes to us, our constituents and
our concerns. Ain't nobody concerned about it? But no, that's okay. Hey, Hey,

(02:45):
the hell was what y'all talking about? What y'all want,
what y'all need? This is what we're doing basically, that's
what politically and you know what, speaking of Florida, Um,
all the political pundits and the analysts and all that
they're saying, it looks like the Republican Party is kind

(03:05):
of moving away from Trump now and making uh Ronda
Santis their guy. They're thinking he will probably be the
twenty twenty four Republican candidates. No he ain't. Well, yeah,
no he ain't. It's too many cowards. They're scared of Trump.
Do you understand me? They're scared of him, they are,

(03:26):
but they I mean, he didn't do well in this election,
is what they're saying. He didn't do so well. And
who did well? Trump with his pitch running for nothing. Yeah,
but he he endorsed people, Steve, he endorsed people. Run again.
Watch if he amuses two. Watch there's a lot of

(03:46):
money on RHN de Santis though. I'm just saying, I'm
just putting that out there. Do not underestimate the cowardice
and the power hungry and the position hunger of those
people in power. And whoever scares them the most and
can promise them the most, that's who they're gonna go with.
And if Donald Trump say he running who's gonna go
up against him? It would be great. Let me tell

(04:13):
you something, I would love to see anybody other than Trump.
The only advantage that Trump is you know what you're
gonna get exactly exactly and play the damn game out.
Yeah this, dude, hell man, at least show your tax

(04:33):
returns at give us that scene, give us that. Well.
In your home home state of Georgia, Republican Brian Kemp
defeated our candidate of choice, Stacy Abrams governor. Kemp said, wow, Well,

(04:53):
it started off with Stacy and the lead started off
with her in the lead, and then as the night
went on, it a flip. So I don't really know
how close it was. Well, don't you know what you
would think? You would think with Rafael Warnock being with
the slight lead that he has over herschel Walker, you

(05:15):
thought in the voting block that would have transferred to
governor too, But it didn't. It didn't, And I just
think in Georgia they are not ready for an African
American female to be governor. But I'm gonna tell you

(05:39):
one thing though, I just I just think that has
a large part to do with it, because it doesn't
make any sense for Rafael Warnock to be defeating herschel Walker.
I mean, of course it does to me, because he's nothing.
But there was there seems to be something else going

(05:59):
on with that govern governor's race. I don't know. I
don't know what it is. I don't know, all right.
And to answer your question, it was fifty four to
forty five, Tommy percent. That's nine percent. That's a big gap, man,
That's that's a real right. But but listen to what
Kemp said, though. Listen to what Kemp said, quote Stacy
Abrams won't be our governor or your next president. Wow,

(06:23):
that's why vote? Man? Yeah, yeah, If that's not a reason,
If that's not a reason, right there, for sure, well, homie,
you might not get past this governor's chair, no way.
M all right. We'll have more on the election day
the aftermath. Right after this. You're listening to
