It's the day after the election that we all stayed up very late looking at and some of the decisions are still kind of transitioning into reality. But we do know, essentially right now, the House of Representatives is going to be taken by the Republican Party, and I'm getting my phone blowing up from people who are freaking out about what it was that happened in the last 24 hours. I understand I get as emotional as anybody else. But the fact of the matter is, each of these races is going to be run on its own term. And each of these races is going to function on its own term. And you kind of just have to take a look at what the ground looks like, right you have in a state like South Carolina, you know, the Republicans romp in a state like North Carolina, you get some Democrat pickups, but you keep Ted bud with the Republican seat therein in the Senate. You see a number of places where the Jobs got done. The jobs were to, retain the seat and you've now got a couple of seats that are kinda up for consideration right Laxalt looks like he's doing pretty well. We don't know what's going to happen with Herschel Walker and Raphael Warnock though I would guess that that's going to be a runoff. And you've got obviously what happened in Florida, which is huge. I mean, what happened in Florida was, it was I'm not gonna say life-changing, but it was essentially, you know, a political earthquake. But you will get that when you get 600,000. Republicans moved into the state of Florida because everybody locked every other state down in the Northeast. Hogle won her seat. Whitmer won her seat, and Gavin Newsom won his seat. So there you got three real possibilities as governors took to run on the Democratic side of the ticket. But what people are so upset about and I detect this are the races like Oz, right Mastriano, and eyes although Mastriano never really had a chance. I mean, I'm sorry, but that particular Democrat was running on his own plan. And Mastriano kind of played into it very well. Not saying he colluded, but this guy was not an optimal candidate for the governorship of Pennsylvania. Sorry. You've got JD Vance. Beating Tim Ryan. I mean, that's a big deal. You've got Stacey Abrams being routed and Beto getting routed for like the third time, the fourth time in six years. I mean, it's insane what we're seeing. That is what's taking place out there. But I want to address this issue about you know, the margins aren't going to be big enough. 24 hours ago, there was a huge expectation that there was going to be a red wave a big red wave. You watch the Super Bowl. Do you ever watch the Super Bowl? Do you ever watch the World Series? Have you ever watched the NBA Finals? How hockey Chino hockey's NHL championships? Do you ever watch that stuff? Do you ever do you see a whole lot of like massive swamping victories? No, you typically get right, you typically get an evenly-matched couple of teams in the Super Bowl facing off against each other. Why? Because they had to go through the meat grinder of the NFC and the AFC, and they come together. And there's a game that is played there. There are very, very, very few games, like the bears destroying the Patriots or Dallas, destroying the bills. Very, very few games like that take place, and these elections, when you have got as many issues on the table as you've got. And you've essentially got to America is bound by the US Constitution. It's going to be a tight fight. But there's a bright spot.
