Thank you.
Thank you.
Cool now.
Brought to you by Pfizer.
Brought to you by Pfizer.
In this video, you're going to see the future.
Hey!
Hello there, you Awakening Wonders.
Thanks for joining us for our election night watch-along special.
It's already extraordinary.
I'm watching like a bunch of other streams.
I'm watching mainstream stuff.
I'm watching independent media.
What kind of...
Is it difficult to discern anything?
It's sort of quite serious, isn't it?
Quite analytical and demographically oriented, I suppose, because all that exists at the moment is a mosaic of disparate information from which people try to form pictures.
Before we get into what we're going to do, what I consider will be some of the fun, is we'll watch...
Hey everyone, how's it going?
You're right there, Jajesus, an alien from Mars, and M.W. Klein.
If there's anyone you want me to ring, we can ring people up and stuff.
I'm going to be here for a couple of hours.
I'm going to chat to a few people.
I'm going to chat to Crowder.
I'm going to chat to Ruben.
I might ring some people up in England.
Also, I'm going to watch Fox and stuff and see what they're doing.
So things are moving very, very fast.
We are in a new hour.
I'm Andrew Kraft.
Thanks so much for being with us here.
Did you say that you're called Andrew Krapp?
Look at that.
Like, look at how serious they are.
...around some of these election night watch parties there for the Harris-Waltz ticket and for the Trump-Vance ticket as well.
We are getting some new reporting from Fox News Digital about how the Trump team is feeling at the moment.
We'll bring that to you.
It's funny when it says how they're feeling because we're already bringing an emotional quality to this particularly...
What do I want to say?
Sort of statistical...
I'm addicted to this drink.
Statistical, mathematical event.
I'm in Miami right now.
I'm trying to stay close to the Lord as the material world asserts itself.
Let's have a look at this.
It's one of my favourite moments, and I'm sure yours too.
Did you see this on X yet?
is Kamala Harris pretending to call a voter.
I'm doing quite a good job of the acting, actually.
Certainly better than the SNL sketch.
Before it ultimately becomes evident that there's no one on the phone.
But is it possible for your phone to be on camera while you're receiving a call?
Or is it flower?
Let me know in the chat.
Has that ever happened?
If your phone is showing camera, is there any way that you could be on the phone?
I'm not Have you voted already?
You did?
Thank you.
Thank you so very much.
You know, it's so important that everybody participate.
Is that not legit?
That's not good.
It's interesting as well, isn't it, how trivia...
Has rushed to the forefront.
Every single symbol or signal, a potential piece of information, because at the moment we're in a suspended and purgatorial state.
And a lot of people that I know that know a lot more about this than I do think that we could be in purgatory for a little while.
Have CNN started yet?
Let's see what CNN has started.
There's just some ballot boxes there.
They've been filled in already and in advance.
We'll be coming back to them over the course of the evening.
You might have seen this as well.
I suppose all of these things that I'm getting off of X are indication.
I don't have maps there all the time.
You'll understand that better than I do.
I'm seeing such granular analysis when I was checking out Shapiro and when I was checking out Crowder.
There's streams along the bottom.
There's talk about cultural identities that are likely to be moved in Wisconsin.
It's so granular and analytical.
I suppose the way the sports coverage has changed and, you know, the distance that someone has run or the passes that someone has completed, that applies now in politics, doesn't it?
We have access to that sort of same level of granular detail.
Would it make of this, though?
Does this seem like the mass maneuvering of entire demographics?
What I mean by that is that, as we were discussing on the show earlier, in 2016, the world was shocked by the impact of social media, both when it came to Brexit and the election of Trump.
Think of how the world and in particular the political world and big tech have changed since then.
What kind of relationships have they forged?
What kind of deals have they done?
I'm drinking...
Monica Kovacs asks, what am I drinking?
This is simply Topo Chico.
I first saw it when Jordan Peterson came here to do an interview.
He was drinking it, and he did a very long...
In fact, Luke, you should post that conversation.
Did you see?
I had this mad long conversation with Jordan Peterson when he arrived.
And he was drinking this drink, and he used it as an example.
But I didn't do something about reality and grasping reality.
You know, of course, none of us know.
The moment I grasp this bottle, the decision's made in my mind.
I think he was making an argument about free will.
And all the time I was thinking, what is that drink?
And then I eventually drank it.
Mmm.
Topo Chico.
It's amazing.
K.P. Last Stop.
Was Russell a P. Diddy White Party in 2019?
You know I was.
I was making a film with him, getting to the Greek.
Diddy had done about a couple of weeks on that film, maybe longer, maybe three, four weeks.
So, like, when you're in a movie, you hang out with people.
And I did go to that white party.
And, uh, spent a lot of time talking to Tom Green.
Do you remember Tom Green off of MTV? I was married then, so I think I was married in 2019.
Like, anyway, certainly wasn't getting down with, uh...
No freaky stuff.
That was never my bag, man.
I would handle those matters myself rather privately through a little old thing called charm.
Hey, let's have a look at this.
What I want to see here is how Google are apparently...
This is amazing if this is true.
It's my mic up on this, Isaac.
Where to vote?
If you put where to vote, where can I vote for Harris?
It comes up.
It gives you specific information.
Where can I vote for Trump?
It gives you a bunch of stories.
Trump is a convicted felon.
That's amazing.
That's amazing.
That's going to be real as well.
And...
Have you seen that?
What I've continually been saying, probably because someone else said it and I just remembered it, is that this is an election that will demonstrate establishment versus new emergent independent forces.
Now, I guess you would not call Elon Musk an independent emergent force in the sense of like he's hardly like a plucky upstart, he's the world's richest man, but...
Ultimately, what is he in this context other than a very rich person who is facilitating dissenting speech on X? I mean, I'm sure some of you guys have got some more outlandish opinions, but that's my take on him.
Let's have a look on Green.
This is an interesting point from Greenwald before we get into the meat of the matter.
It continues to be inconceivable that the US, virtually all alone in the democratic world, cannot count all votes in the same night as election day.
And if it's very close, it may need days or even more than a week to determine the winner.
Why are we being pre-bunked in this way?
It seems like we're getting prepared for some stuff.
Now, before we get into looking at Fox, a quick glance.
I'll start out by asking Mr.
Collins to come forward and give you a general summary of what has been going on today so you can have your more or less day's end update.
Good evening, everybody.
I can talk a little bit more in detail about the incident with the individual at the polling location in a moment.
Let me start off by saying it's obviously been no secret that this particular election was hotly contested throughout the entire election season.
There was a lot of heated rhetoric.
Passions were high.
Given all of that, we are extremely pleased with what we saw today.
The vast majority of what we responded to were situations where we simply had It's funny when people that aren't on TV much really sort of take their moment, don't you think?
Like, now listen, I'm going to talk for a while about this.
Someone who I think always necessarily, and I'm grateful for the facts, comes to the fore in moments like this is Alex Jones, not shy of making audacious and bold predictions.
Check this out.
I want to make a prediction right now.
Trump is set to have a historic victory.
They're gonna try to contest it.
They're gonna try to kill him again.
They're gonna create pretexts and excuses for the left to riot.
You could take it less seriously if you didn't have video footage of...
Look, I know we've got footage of Alex Jones saying a lot of crazy stuff.
Of course, he's a shamanic individual.
But you can see him in 20...
Like, you know, prior to 9-11, outlining exactly what's going to happen.
And, you know, here he seems very confident.
Major Trump victory.
76 days of chaos.
Assassination attempts.
And also, he's lost a lot of weight.
He's looking good, isn't he?
It's going to be absolutely insane for the next 76 days after he is president-elect.
But the fraud is not going to work.
And when I saw this meme image today that's posted at Real Alex Jones...
I said, this is a graphic image that accurately...
I love this because it's actually the silhouette of Donald Trump's hairline, which Alex Jones says is predicting a possible outcome.
I think the cadence of voting, that's what I think he's saying, is that there's going to be a sharp incline, then it's going to flatten out for a while.
It's pretty good this...
That accurately depicts my prediction for the 2024 election.
This represents my 2024 election outcome prediction.
They are going to try the exact same thing.
You'll see the same graph, but it will not go past the red line.
It'll be a lot closer than it's depicted here.
I actually don't understand the Alex Jones haircut graph.
In fact, like...
Can we get that picture in picture, Isaac?
Because it's too hard.
I want to analyse it.
Thank you.
See, thanks, man.
Alright, so the blue vote, the Trump vote is going to escalate high and it's going to tail off.
And the Kamala vote...
He's going to sort of just make it over Trump's ear, have a sharp upsurge for a minute before leveling off across his forehead.
I mean, if that is the voting pattern, I will see that as in irrefutable evidence that Alex Jones is in touch with ulterior forces at an Ezekiel level.
Closer than it's depicted here.
That's the reality of what's going to happen.
But it will not defeat Trump.
It will not defeat America.
If they are crazy enough to openly call it early like Fox did four years ago and steal it, it blows up even bigger in their face down the road.
But you already see capitulations by a lot of the Silicon Valley people.
Not just Zuckerberg.
They know the writings on the wall.
Republican Congress folks that are very respected have said they've already seen it circulating, that they're getting ready to try to impeach him as soon as he's in.
They plan riots once he's president-elect.
We're not out of the woods.
Oh, no.
This is going to be mental, isn't it?
Do you think it's going to be mental?
It's going to be mental for a while.
Is this going to be when Peter McCulloch's wellness kit comes in all handy and we're going to want to stockpile ivermectin and, like, As I would say in my country, tins of tuna.
Is this going to be a time when we're going to need an allotment?
We've got Dave Rubin's coming on.
I'm either going on Dave Rubin's show or he's coming on my...
That is Dave!
There is Dave Rubin.
He's introducing me.
As soon as I hear him, we're just blending streams with Dave Rubin.
I'm here to defend the laws of Florida.
I'm here to strengthen the state.
I'm here to govern properly.
And that's what I'm going to do.
And that's why so many people...
So we can mute Dave till he...
If you listen and when he intros me, we'll come on.
I'm about to go on Dave's show.
And so we're just...
There he is.
So you can study Dave doing his show very professionally, looking very handsome, holding spectacles, got a piece of paper, we've got a map.
Does that look like he's introing me?
Stop talking there.
I think he's introing me.
Bring up his audio.
He's talking to me.
He is!
Bring up Dave's audio, Isaac, for God's sake.
And bring down that map out of my face.
I'm concentrating now.
I'm with Dave.
All right, Dave.
I hear you're good, man.
How's it going?
Well, so far, so good.
I just talked to Jordan Peterson.
We did a little psychological analysis of the American electorate, and his main way was that we're going to kind of be okay.
But here you are.
I believe you're in Florida right now, in the free state of Florida, and you've become quite an astute political analyst here in America.
You've patronised me, Dave.
Yes, I have.
I've been scrutinising the demographics.
I'm thinking about the Latino vote.
I'm thinking about Jews in Pennsylvania.
I'm studying this at a granular level.
In fact, before you came on, I was really offering real scrutiny and insights into this that I think would have really helped people understand.
Get off your phone, Dave.
You're still in picture.
They're texting.
We're doing a major seven-hour program here live.
They're texting me things while I'm talking to you.
Incredible.
Listen, I can come on now.
I can come on later.
I was thinking, because I'm only allowed here.
I'm doing this from Miami, the local studio.
Who started that company, by the way?
There's some real charisma and sexual residue about the place.
We're going to go till 10, and if you want, I'll come by your house.
Crash your back doors in, as we say in England, and march right onto the Rubin compound.
But what I'm doing is watching bits of Fox, watching bits of CNN, talking to you, talking to Crowder.
Really, I want to learn from you.
Last time I was in your country for an election, Barack Obama won.
There was a lot of hope and change, and I bet you were still a Democrat then.
I was a Democrat.
I voted for Hope and Change twice, and I regret it.
I tweeted out this week that I regret it, and I think Elon responded to me and said something to the effect of he's never been so disappointed with the human, something like that.
Whoa.
Whoa, that's pretty crazy.
That's pretty crazy.
Did you see that we put under you?
I don't know.
Let's see if we can put it back up.
I want you to be able to see that.
Random, this is what the team put up.
I did not give them this information.
Random man who looks like Jesus.
I'm happy with that.
I'll take that.
I'll take that all day long.
I'm trying to approach this from a Christian perspective.
I'm trying to look at this election and think, what's going to happen?
Immediately after, are we going to enter into the kind of purgatorial space that Alex Jones is predicting?
That there will be riots and assassination attempts and chaos?
Or are we going to finally approach a moment Yeah.
coverage in a sort of Elvis Presley 1968 comeback special full leather outfit.
That's the look I'm bringing all the way over from the United Kingdom.
So I don't know, man.
I don't know if you have...
Jordan's take on surprising to you was in essence that if you think that tonight, whatever, if we get the result that you don't want, so if Kamala wins tonight, And you think that the world is over.
Well, as he said, first off, the next election's only in four years.
But really what he said was, you still have autonomy over your life.
You have autonomy over your family and your job.
And yeah, they can hit you on every which way and every side of the whole thing.
But there are some things that you control.
I mean, in essence, it was clean your room before you clean the world.
But we've all engaged in so much hyperbole on both sides.
We all saw Elon Musk on Rogan saying, if Kamala wins, like, X is going to shut down, he's going to be foreclosed upon.
Did you hear the bit where he said, one of the bits that struck me was when he talked about the Stalin torturer-in-chief who said, show me the man and I'll show you the crime.
Because...
Yeah, and when Mike Benz, who I know you've spoken to, said to me, when people say democracy now, they don't mean a process of representative electoral procedure.
What they mean is a set of institutions that they're in control of, whether that's the media or the judiciary.
And I've got to tell you, I am pretty scared.
I spoke to Dana White, not today, like another day, and he said, you know, I'll be getting up on November the 6th and it'll be a normal day, much like, you know, JP saying there.
But it's difficult.
Like, we've participated, haven't we, in escalating this sort of hyperbole and this sense of tension, Dave, with our content.
I think about it all the time.
Look, I say some over the top things sometimes.
Sometimes the sarcasm can be a little angrier maybe than I want it to be or something like that.
In some ways, to me, we're fighting something that is so deeply dangerous that is the unbelievably never ending, always growing Marxist idea that is so historically evil that if I've engaged in a little hyperbole along the way,
which I undoubtedly have, I think sometimes it's kinda, it's sorta why when people are like, oh, I like Donald Trump, I don't like the way he talks, that I find that that, it kinda runs thin with me at this point, cause it's like, you gotta fight however you can, something like that.
I never saw that before.
I thought that Marx was a genius.
I felt like egalitarianism, the principle of equality, was very important.
I felt the biggest threat that society in the world faced were powerful corporations and only the state, a state that responded to the will of the people, could oppose the titans of capitalism that were set to take over the globe.
Over time, I've come to realize that what the state has been trying to do since the advent of Marx, but probably from earlier than that, is replace, and this is Jordan Peterson territory, God in our lives, to have absolute power.
Now, because of the advance of technology, there is the ability for omniscience through surveillance, omnipresence through the devices that we all carry, and the sort of control of our consciousness through the sort of Deep programming we're all encountering.
You'll have seen those memes, Dave, of like, you know, if you Google, where can I vote for Kamala, someone comes around your house and drives you to a voting booth in a limousine, and if you say, where can I vote for Trump, someone comes and kicks you in the arse Are
you hopeful tonight?
Where are you at in terms of just pure hope of whatever goes right means to you, that it goes right, and that we can get out of some of this?
I'm so easily...
The problem with me is I'm a pretty impressionable person.
So if I'm going for my ex-feed and I see you being optimistic and then see Tucker being optimistic, then I'll be like, okay, yes, right.
But then if I watch something else and I see people that believe that Trump is a monster in the manner that you just described, saying, yeah, we've got this and look, their rallies are crap.
I start to get concerned because I truly believe.
I watched your videos.
You're...
A brilliant video where you appealed to liberals and said, like, you know, if you just look at the facts now, look at the people that are aligned with Trump.
This is not Trump of 2016.
Look at what's happening with surveillance and censorship and the degree of control that's being asserted in the name of protection.
Look at the shallow vacuity of these cipher candidates that they're Are you planning to drink, Dave?
Well, there is a little tequila here and in the 30 seconds we have remaining, do you want to tell people what happened when you were at my house a couple of weeks ago involving a glass of tequila?
I was hanging out, fool that I am, open-minded gentleman that I've become with Dave and his husband, David, and I was so excited to eat food.
I was really hungry and in my mind I was thinking the food's coming.
I was preparing some steak and I was like, oh yes, This is going to be so sick.
I can't wait.
I can't wait for it.
And then, like, Dave puts too much pepper on the top of the steak.
I put it in my mouth, and, like, someone was talking to me.
And, like, I had to continue a conversation.
I swallowed this bit of steak, and it was in my throat.
And I was like, oh, no, I better grab a drink.
And the drink I grabbed was probably Dave Rubin's own brand of tequila.
Took a massive, like, slug of it, and felt like, it begins!
It begins!
I saw my wife and I'm sort of like, no, no!
Strap him up!
Strap him up!
But luckily I have survived.
I'm addicted to this now.
Topo Chico, it could be worse than that.
But yes, you took like two big gulps of tequila.
You've been in recovery for something like 23 years, something like that.
But you did some breathing exercises and here you are in Florida, flourishing, doing amazing.
And I have no doubt that I will see you in the next day or two, my friend.
Thanks for coming on.
Good luck with the rest of your night, or blessings for the rest of your night, and I hope it goes the way you want.
Love you, bro.
Same to you.
See you now.
I mean, normally when you say that, you've got a few seconds to compose yourself, but actually, you know, we're streaming as well.
Hey, Luke, if you're watching, I think that joke about the squirrel was good.
That was a good thing to post on X. So that's the out.
They come around and shoot your squirrel.
That's the out, and then go back.
As far as you need to for that joke to make sense.
Probably it's only about two minutes.
Alright, man, then post that on X and Instagram and stuff like that.
Should we want to watch a bit more?
Should we see what they do?
Oh, don't tell me CNN started.
Don't tell me.
CNN, come on now, we're taking ourselves so seriously.
CNN, come on now, we're looking at these vaulting booths.
CNN, come on down, we're taking lifestyles.
They're just doing what we do, with no sense of humour.
That's no good.
That's not entertainment.
That's not even television.
I won't stand for it.
Let's go back to Alex Jones.
Will he still be where we left him, or do I need to fire up that asset, baby?
Play, and it will be Alex Jones.
Elect, we're not out of the woods yet, but the big battle...
To wake people up and to have them rebel against the system mentally and not be bullied and not let the left in Hollywood program you and control you and dictate to you and bully you is over.
And it's global.
The tide turned a few years ago, but now the giant waves of awakening are smashing the globalist system into little pieces of driftwood.
Now, they're going to strike back.
But you can see it.
you can feel it a flight promotions uh you're gonna be okay russell you'll be protected yes thank you very much man thanks for saying that uh for your vegetarian martha i was i was vegetarian i was vegan for a long time but yeah man i've got some serious friends with some serious advice who said it's time for you to get very very very strong in a very very crazy world Thanks for joining us.
If you're watching us on YouTube, we'll be with you for a couple more minutes.
We're going to be keeping our eye on the mainstream on this...
Are we going to call it a historic night?
It's historic in the sense of America and human civilization, in the sense of the limitlessness of endless cosmoses.
It's...
Actually, it's not important in that context.
I think it's significant that we're able to bear in mind right now that we are amidst the infinite and only one entity is beyond eternity.
Only one triune deity saw Satan fall from heaven like Lightning, and that's why we've got to stay connected to that.
And that's why I'll be reporting on this significant night in American culture.
All things are contextual.
Russell, show me your love muscle from Sonny Margate, says Sausage Jockey 478.
That I will not do.
That I will not do.
Got to be cautious, baby.
I will be reporting on the American election in...
Elvis Presley, 68, comeback special, full leather attire.
Let's have a look at Consumer224.
What's the YouTube email you're in contact with?
If you can't get through to YouTube, that is, you'll never feel more like you're in an Aldous Huxley novel than if you try to communicate with YouTube directly.
What I mean by that, and I mean that with all due respect to the actual human beings that work at YouTube, but what I mean is it's been captured by the kind of...
Corporatist anodyne astringent power that we fear will take over the world.
Let me know in the comments and chat.
Do you believe that the greatest dread we know is that the world will become a kind of airport everywhere you go?
Shoes off here, sir.
Not for reasons of sanctity or sanity or even hygiene, but because constant control is being asserted.
Walk through this.
We've just got to check what you are, whether you're carrying any devices.
Everywhere you go will be like an airport.
Constant and continual control.
Control.
If you're watching us on YouTube, we'll be there for a minute, but we want you to join Nathan Ryan Jr.
Thank you.
Thank you. - Job!
What happened?
It was...
Tell me, tell me, so then I know that it won't happen again.
It was a setting that glitched out when we were flipping through.
Cool, cool, cool.
Let's see what they're doing over...
Hey, guys, we're just...
Sorry, thanks for staying with us there for a second.
We're going to be on YouTube for about another ten minutes.
I'm going to stay on YouTube until as long as they'll let me.
How you doing, baby?
I'm going to, um...
Yeah, stay away from that holding card, honey.
Let's have a look at...
Let's see what's seeing in our...
They're CNN doing their serious thing.
Yeah, okay, they're playing adverse out.
Oh, here's my man.
Live now from Fox, I'm Andrew Kraft.
We are at the bottom of the hour here on this election.
Don't laugh at his name, grow up.
8.30 there on the East Coast as we continue to track some of these results and bring you these live events, live raw and unfiltered here.
We do have this as well.
This is a live vantage point inside of Senator Rick Scott's election night watch party.
We're expecting Scott very, very soon here to...
You're getting nowhere near Senator Rick Scott.
That guy's got a lot going on.
Marcel Powell, she conceded the race to Rick Scott there, and this is the breakdown we have in the results according to the Associated Press right now.
You can see there the race was called about an hour ago, and so Republicans breathing somewhat of a sigh of relief there in the Sunshine State.
Nice!
Okay, Rick Scott, Senator for Florida.
There's a lot going on, isn't there?
There's a lot of things to...
You know, there's Senate, all the whole thing simultaneously.
You've got so much to determine in your crazy country.
Okay, let's have a look at, oh, did you see this earlier on X? This is the voter ID moment, where someone really pushed to the limit the plausibility of not requiring identification when you show up to vote.
Have a look at this.
Hello.
Hi.
How we doing?
Can I get the first three letters of your last name?
Yeah, H-E-N. And the first three letters of your first name?
J-O-R. It may be mine.
That may be correct.
And your house number?
It may be...
Can you confirm your year of birth?
It might be 1985.
But it might not.
Is your birthday in 1985?
It might be.
I mean, yeah, but it might not be.
Well, what is your birthday?
It's 1985.
I'm just saying it might not be.
You can't verify it.
But I'm just telling you, it is.
Okay, you're gonna sign an oath.
You okay with that?
Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna sign an oath.
And it's 1985.
Yeah, it's my birthday.
Great!
I'm just saying, it might not be.
You can't see my ID, right?
You can just verify my ID, right?
I mean, I take your word for it.
It's calendar.
Exactly.
So, it might not be.
Yeah, I'll sign mine off.
So, I just want to ask a quick question, Susan.
She asked him, she's a student.
I get it.
She asked him if his birthday was 1985, and he said, it is.
It definitely is.
And he says, it might not be.
But it might not be.
What does that mean?
I don't know.
Could you, you want to verify it?
Well, I'm just asking you to be honest.
So you don't ask them if this is their date, you ask them the year?
Yes, I did.
It's 1985.
It is, okay.
It might not be though.
That's fine.
If you're saying it's 1985, then you're going to sign.
It's 1985.
It just might not be.
You can't really verify it.
It checks your signatures.
Yeah.
Okay, it looks sad.
A lot of people in the chat, that's crazy and it's mental, are saying that Harris is winning Texas.
That can't be true.
Can it?
Let's see if Fox...
...on the campus of Howard University here.
What does Harris need to do, if she has the momentum, to maintain that momentum?
And what have they done in the last four or five days to shore up any support here?
Yeah, what the Harris campaign has done, it's very similar to Trump's, but they had the closing message at the Ellipse on Tuesday.
Anna, I'm sorry to cut you off, Anna.
Sorry to cut you off here.
We do have Rick Scott.
We've got Rick Scott, Anna.
So, it is a matter of priorities.
Someone's, um, why are you talking about the big nose joke in life of Brian?
Let's see Rick Scott's speech.
I'm in Florida, so I'm going to be double respectful.
And for once, we did it before midnight.
I want to thank God.
I want to thank my beautiful wife who put up with me.
My wonderful daughters, Allison and Jordan.
And their husbands, Pierre and Shane.
And my perfect grandsons.
It's a nice family moment there.
It's all cool.
So, and guess what?
We won Miami day.
So I think we won every constitutional officer down there.
We have a new sheriff.
Okay, if you're watching us on YouTube right now, get over and watch the coverage on Rumble.
Bongino's up, Crowder's up, there's a lot of live streams covering this, a variety of different content available to you on Rumble.
I'll be chatting to Crowder a little later.
Mina Kovacs, can we pray?
You better believe we can pray.
Heavenly Father, God...
Oh no, stay a bit longer, actually.
We're going to stay a little longer on YouTube.
I'm just letting people know.
We're going to leave that count.
Listen, you've got plenty of time.
See that count there?
Take it down, Isaac.
It makes people...
It's innovating.
Well, once it's up, I hope that the nuclear button doesn't have that capacity, no sort of ability.
We're staying here, YouTube, all right?
Look, we're still here.
It's a countdown.
We're free.
We don't need to be governed by that.
We've been asked for a little prayer.
I'm going to do a little prayer.
I'll be very clear with cues, baby.
You'll know.
All right.
Heavenly Father, Lord, please, we ask, In fact, first let's start with some thanks.
Thank you for the glory of creation.
Thank you for the miracle of consciousness.
Thank you for the ability to operate in the field of language.
Thank you for relationship.
Thank you that you are a triune God, that you are three gods in one person with three elemental forces.
H2O frozen, H2O as vapor, H2O as liquid.
One God in three forms.
Heavenly Father, thank you for the relational component That shows us and teaches us that in relationship we can love one another.
And even though it's very exciting to get caught up in the circus and pageantry of oppositionism and competition, Lord, may we remember that not only are all the people in America ultimately of one human family, all the people of the world are ultimately of one human family.
And we ask Lord Jesus if you will be present with all of us Lord, even those that have not yet accepted you, we ask that they may feel your presence.
And if indeed, Heavenly Father, you do conclude that this is to be a time of disruption and chaos, we would ask that beneath the chaos we might yet feel order.
Lord, it feels so frequently That order merely rests upon chaos.
That temporary human life rests upon death.
That the city rests upon the rubble it will one day inevitably become.
But though the temple may be reduced to rubble, it can be rebuilt in three days.
Lord, I ask that we feel that the ultimate temple is the temple of our body, which ought and must be a dwelling place for you, Lord.
I ask that you inhabit us individually and collectively, Lord, that even on a night like tonight that is about competition and measurement and power and the meeting out of power and the communication of power and the conduct of media and posturing and who can stand closest to the light and who gets the shine of the King, Lord, I ask that we remember that there is only one King You, Lord Jesus Christ, and we ask for peace and harmony in your name.
This we pray in your name.
Amen.
In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Let's have a look at what's going on.
People need voter maps and need them now, says Where's Pete.
Let's bang up that voter map again.
Let's stick it on there.
You know, that wasn't causing us any problems.
Right, don't worry.
Everything's NPC grey.
We're under complete control.
I see a lot of things have been...
I just saw...
Yeah, I'm going to be on Crowd.
I will be on there.
I will be on there in a minute when he sort of gets through.
Listen, let's have a look.
See if CNN, what they're doing...
CNN. That's actually the most authoritative and authentic coverage I've seen on there.
Are you sure, Isaac?
That's all they're going to do.
They're just going to do that all evening.
Let's see what Fox is saying.
That's unbelievable.
And I think that Andrew Krapp's being put under too much pressure on Fox, if you ask me as well.
...that we want to make as well.
We just brought you that New Jersey going for Vice President Kamala Harris.
Remember, there's a Senate race there we're watching.
Let's take this.
All right, so Congressman, the Democrat Andy Kim beating Republican Curtis Bashaw there in New Jersey.
And this race just called by the Associated Press with around 28% of estimated votes counted.
Remember, this is Senator Bob Menendez's seat that he resigned from this summer after being found guilty of 16 felony corruption counts, and he was convicted of that.
He gets sentenced on those convictions.
Come January here, Andy Kim will replace Bob Menendez there in the Garden State for this Senate seat.
Democrats keeping the seat there in New Jersey.
But we also have some race calls coming in on the presidential level as well.
For Vice President Kamala Harris, we brought you Delaware for her.
We brought you Maryland for her.
We brought you New Jersey for her.
Take a look at this there in the Garden State.
Harris beating Trump in New Jersey.
New Jersey solidly blue, solidly Democratic.
I believe, okay, also we do have a race call.
Let's go to Illinois right now.
19 electoral votes there in Illinois.
Going to Kamala Harris here.
She bested Trump there, 56 to Trump's 43, with 9% of estimated votes counted there.
So you see the tally in the lower left hand of your screen there.
That's the Electoral College.
Remember the number, the magic number is 270.
Harris has 71 right now.
Trump with 101 here, bringing Anna and Austin back in here.
Austin, we'll start with you.
So we got an updated Electoral College tally.
Still no surprises there.
That was to be expected, right?
Yeah, no surprises so far.
Let's take a look at our bar.
It's been filling in 71.
This is what I live for.
I live for this.
With Trump, we're starting to see though, and this gives us a little bit more context, the lighter shades are some of the more interesting ones, specifically in the battlegrounds of Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Georgia.
Let's very briefly just look at what little information we have out of Michigan.
So, with 7% of the vote in so far, we do see Harris with a 14% advantage in Michigan, Pennsylvania.
Only 12% of the votes have been tallied so far.
And right now, Harris has a sizable lead.
Looks like she's got a 40-point lead right now.
That very well could be one of those blue mirage situations that we were just discussing very early on in the tabulation.
Let's go to the Tar Heel State here.
Let's see what they're working with.
They have a fifth of the votes in, 20% of the votes in, in North Carolina.
And Trump right now has about an eight-point lead over Harris with a fifth of the votes tallied finally.
Let's hit Georgia and it looks like we have Trump up with an 11-point advantage.
That's with over half of the votes Presumably, if polling, which uses much smaller resources, is somewhat reliable, then when you've got like 50% of the vote in, that should be conclusive, shouldn't it?
This state has been called.
Georgia was so important.
It actually had a record number of early voters.
It was so robust that a top official told the Associated Press that the big day could look like a ghost town at the polls.
Biden became the first Democrat to take that state since Bill Clinton in 1992.
It'll be interesting to see how this plays out, guys.
Yeah, Anna.
And Anna, of course, you've spent so much time in Georgia this cycle.
Let's talk about it.
You saw the vote spread there between Trump and Harris.
A little over half of estimated votes counted there in the Peach State.
I want to focus our efforts on Harris, too, because we've been showing a lot of the Trump election night watch party.
This is the Harris night watch party right now.
It looks to be quite raucous there.
A lot of performances.
At the moment on the campus of Howard University here.
So if you could, Georgia first and then what are we seeing right now?
In Georgia, you know, I was at a bowling site today and Georgia has 150...
We're going to go on Steve Crowder's show in a second.
And so I'm just going to do it on the phone because we can't sort of wire it through.
So stay with us.
We're going to carry on doing this and I'll talk to Steve Crowder on the phone.
And yeah.
Hey, listen, YouTube, we've got a bunch of stuff coming up.
We're going to be chatting to a few people.
Wait a minute, that sounds like Steven Crowder.
If you're watching us on YouTube, click the link in the description.
Let's do that 30-second countdown now.
I'm going to do the countdown, though, baby.
Do the countdown, Isaac.
So, like, what I'm going to do is I'm going to chat to Steven Crowder, or, in fact, this person from Steven Crowder's team.
All right, mate, I'm just doing my stream.
If you're watching us on YouTube, click over and I'll be joining...
Hello!
Alright, you lots, these people initially, and then Stephen Crowder on Rumble, one of our stablemates, over on the free speech platform.
Click the link.
I'm going to go till 10.
I'll be available.
I'll be praying for...
For all of you, regardless of the hue or your persuasion, click the link.
Join us over there and I'll be talking to Steve Crowder on this device in a few seconds.
If you're on Rumble, stay with us.
I'm just going to talk to Steve Crowder and his team and, you know, just carry on having a lovely night.
Hello, ma'am.
Sorry, I'm just doing my show as well.
I'm about to send you into the studio to connect with Stephen.
This will be good.
Thanks.
Hold on, let me get a nice angle for me.
Right, you guys, I want you to fully support me while I do this.
This is election night, okay?
How do you see that?
that.
How is the Harris campaign?
Yeah, definitely.
Are you clicking?
Yeah, I'm pressing stuff.
The most...
Fox YouTube.
He said, have you mixed this?
Because I'm doing this on a phone.
So that he can come on and hang out with us.
So we'll talk to him.
Puerto Rican, I should say, Pennsylvania's makeup of Puerto Rican isn't high compared to other states like New York and Florida.
But it's something that...
So if I say a Fox bit, honestly, that in my output...
I don't know if that's correct.
...this incendiary remark rally in Madison Square Garden a couple weeks ago.
And you're right, Andrew.
They've continued to hit on it again and again and again and play the racism card.
And, you know, will it work or not?
You know, it's going to be interesting to see the exit polls among Hispanic and Latino voters.
Even if you get really into the weeds and look at Puerto Ricans...
And C. Did that move the needle at all?
I think people's minds were already made up before that comment was made.
You know, Anna, we were speaking earlier about the Senate and the balance of power in the Senate.
We saw the race being called for Rick Scott in Florida.
He's somebody that's thrown...
Hold on, let me go fox picture in picture.
Hold on, let me go back to me.
Here I am.
All right, everyone, I'm just talking to Gerald from Louder with Crowder.
Many people think that Gerald is the true mastermind behind Louder.
A lot of people like you.
Don't be harsh on yourself.
Especially not on election night.
Absolutely.
What are you watching for right now?
Is there anything in your mind that if you saw you would say, hey, this is going in the right direction for Trump?
Mate, listen, I'm watching this like a person who's been dragged out of the United Kingdom, pummeled through several institutions of entertainment, has found a Lord and Saviour, and is now trying to observe ulterior movements politically while recognising that we are lost in eternity.
I know from listening to people who provide this kind of analysis very brilliantly, like on your channel and over on Daily Wire and You know, even in spaces that are of a different political purview.
The significant places appear to be Georgia and Wisconsin.
But I'm watching the granular stuff now, Gerald, of people saying, like, sort of, Hispanics in Philadelphia have rolled up their trouser legs!
Like, you know, like...
Oh no!
Is that good?
Same election night victory speech, he mentioned the Republican Senate leader race as well, that he has thrown his hat into the ring here.
Anna, thank you so much for being with us.
Also, we do have some of these candidates stepping up to the podium at their election night watch parties as well, including Mike Braun, who's leaving the Senate.
He's going to the governor's mansion there in Indianapolis.
Let's listen.
I think it was up at the Moontown Brewery that we celebrated.
And the journey that I've been on over the last seven years, most people would think you'd been crazy to do it in the first place.
Dear, what do you think about that?
All I can tell you is seven years ago in August, when I declared to run for the U.S. Senate, there weren't many believers.
And Even folks close to you wondered, did you really have a game plan?
Well, my game plan...
And you're stateside right now, right, Russell?
Yeah, I'm in Miami right now, and I'm watching Hispanic voters.
Hold on, there's two.
There's two Hispanic voters.
There they are.
Hispanic Jewish voter.
Catholic voters.
- Those are Cubans, they don't weep.
- Are they Cuban-Americans?
- Cuban-Americans.
- One's Cuban-American.
- Argentine.
- Argentine.
- I've been talking about Cubans quite a bit.
My agent, Gay William, is Cuban-American, gay, and to the right of Attila the Hun.
Cuban-Americans are a different breed.
Let me ask her, your mom or your dad, when you were growing up, if you were sad or depressed about something, did they just tell you to get another job?
- Yeah, they'd be like, listen, at least it's not communism.
- Come in, come in.
Come right into the picture in picture.
That's what it is.
You can come right in.
Exactly.
They're like, anything is better than communism, so you can't complain about anything.
Yes, yes, that's exactly right.
And what is it with Cuban women being beautiful and being friendly and not being offended like us Westerners?
I say it all as a communist.
You mean like gay women in this country?
Oh, geez.
Sorry.
Russell, that's Nick DiPaolo, if you're not familiar.
Hi, Russell.
How are you?
All right, mate.
I am familiar with you.
I see you on Loud with Crowder all the time.
It's good to meet you properly.
Yep.
Russell, you obviously used to lean left, and I know that you're an independent thinker.
I certainly don't want to mislabel you as more right-leaning, left-leaning.
What do you feel is on the line tonight?
Like, what sense of heaviness or consequence do you feel as far as this election?
I'm trying to maintain a degree of sanguinity amidst the creeping dread, because if you watch something like Elon and Rogan and him saying this is a precipitous moment when it comes to democracy itself, or when you hear the histrionics and terror emerging or when you hear the histrionics and terror emerging from the establishment centrist left, it feels like it's nothing short of pivotal.
And I wonder how we contribute, like those of us that operate in these spaces, Stephen, to this sense of beyond trepidation, real fear.
And coming from someone who was like first a champagne socialist, then a cocaine communist, then a heroin anarchist.
By the time I got to fentanyl, I couldn't have any politics at that point.
It's too...
I feel like, like, I was talking to Ruben earlier, and I was saying, like, I used to think that, like, Karl Marx was a genius, the idea that we should all share in a kind of brotherhood, that people are equal.
And then over time, very, very slowly, because I'm a pretty slow learner, I recognised that if you grant the state the kind of power that our kind should only grant to a god...
Then they will behave like a god, but a god without ethos, a god without true virtue or principles.
One of the things I'm continually noticing is the way that you all report on hypocrisy.
They're saying this, and they're doing that.
Or maybe even something like the Nelk Boys viral post on X earlier of them sort of going to Kamala voter houses and saying, you know, we're going to vote for Kamala, we've got some refugees here.
Like that kind of, that exposure of hypocrisy is at the heart of it.
I want to become like a good person.
I want to live a virtuous life.
I don't, I now recognize that by granting the state incredible power, you are not going to create a better society because they have become corrupted and aligned with corporatism and globalism.
The very first time I met you, I remember I said, hey, look, man, I hope you understand.
I used to give you so much crap when you were on YouTube doing Trues News.
And the thing is, I used to say that, I used to say, I just hope that Russell realizes, because I think his heart is in the right place, that he thinks the government is going to be altruistic.
But once you realize that they're not, and that's what I used to say, there was never any hatred or animosity, because you have to understand, I grew up in a socialist province in Quebec, where I had experienced it.
But here's one thing I will say, because I know that you've talked about, you know, not only your faith, and Gerald and I have been watching this in a Hmm.
Yeah.
In the public eye, even though I know you keep a lot of it private, we've had private conversations.
They will use this against you and they will say, oh, really?
And they'll point to the hypocrisy.
And it is true.
Everyone is a hypocrite.
But let me tell you what I believe is the primary difference.
And tell me if you give this some credence.
For example, I think pornography is bad.
I would be lying if I said I've never seen porn.
I would be lying if there's no sexual temptation.
I think that imbibing too much alcohol is bad.
I'd be lying if I say to you that I've never been drunk.
Right.
But the difference is the left is not that they're hypocritical.
It's that they don't fear what they claim to fear or they do actually fear what they claim is not a threat.
So, for example, during COVID, Nancy Pelosi wasn't afraid of COVID.
It's not that she was a hypocrite.
It's that she actually went to have a blowout, which couldn't have possibly been worse.
Or Governor Whitmer with Gavin Newsom.
It's that they say, hey, look, we don't have a problem with migrants.
Yet every single time they go anywhere near the border, they have an entire security detail.
So it's not, are people hypocritical?
People can be hypocritical because they fall short of standards.
People can also be hypocritical simply because they're lying and they don't believe in those standards at all.
And I just say that because it's the first thing they'll throw at Christians, and it's true.
Every single Christian is a hypocrite.
Difference is, does someone believe it?
Yeah, that's some good analysis.
What I suppose is like the significant change since coming to Christ, since surrendering to Christ, since being grabbed by the throat by Jesus Christ, is that I no longer feel that I have to myself combine and align contradictory ideas.
I'm living my life from a state of surrender, acceptance of my own limitations, and at my I'm the best, Stephen.
I'm only communicating with an audience of one.
I'm talking to Jesus.
Sometimes that's because of difficulties with the streaming and sometimes a big shadow banning on YouTube.
But more generally, I'm talking to our Lord.
I'm talking to our Lord when I'm failing.
When I'm failing as a husband, when I'm failing as a father, when I'm failing as a boss, when I'm failing as a content provider, when I'm not polite enough on the street.
When I know that I experience temptation, but I've always been open and authentic, and I've always been guided by these ideas, but in surrendering to Him, everything makes sense now, and now it is my purpose to, as best I can, share my testimony,
to live my mission and my ministry, And to celebrate the triune God, being understanding of people that don't see the world that way, because for a long time I didn't see the world that way, and being patient, and seeing how it's going to be relevant in these spaces, and seeing how I can still muck about, man, and have fun.
It's changed me pretty radically and pretty quickly, and it's changing me all the time.
Well, it's great to hear, and I'm glad to hear you put it so authentically, because we unfortunately sometimes have people, you know, they convert, and then right away it's, and by the way, and everything that I did was wrong, and now I'm going to do it this way, and they right away go to telling everyone else everything is wrong.
Look, if people want to count up the sins, they can just watch this stream tonight.
That's why I always, if it goes to theology, I say, well, bring up Gerald, because he's basically an actual, he's basically an actual choir boy.
Not actual choir, but the point is, like, he's as Boy Scout as you get, whereas, come on, No one's going to take it from me.
Let me ask you this, Russell.
Where's your gut telling you tonight?
And we're just doing this, everyone.
What's your prediction as far as how this turns out?
Well, my prediction is only based on listening to the predictions of people that know more than me.
But it seems like a Trump victory followed by a period of tumult.
But don't you still, in spite of your position, try and consume media that's contrary?
Are they confident?
Are they falling apart?
I can't tell.
It's a little too early for them to tell, but I will tell you there's not the same confidence.
There's less confidence tonight than they certainly even had in 2016.
And that was one that was a shock to all of us.
So it's a good point.
We do have the leftist meltdown alert.
We have an entire team back there looking at numbers and also watching their streams.
I expect when we get to the swing states, that's when you're going to see things get pretty wild and wooly.
And we have some real nerds working back here.
And I mean that as a compliment, but real, real nerds and some granular data.
And hey, Russell, I know you've got a lot to do tonight.
Find me on Rumble, the same as you.
We're in the same place.
We're working on this together.
Get Rumble Premium if you don't got it already.
And, I mean, you don't need me to tell you that the Mug Club is a fantastic place to hang out.
I'm on Rumble streaming right now.
Rumble Premium.
Rumble Premium is Mug.
So now Mug Club is being absorbed into Rumble Premium.
So all those people are Premium members.
We just made that announcement tonight where we've taken Mug Club as far as we can.
And now Rumble Premium is going to be the overall network.
Everything on Mug Club is now available to Rumble Premium subscribers.
And tonight is the last night people can get the OG mug because Rumble Premium we know is the future.
A one-stop shop where people have tip jar fatigue.
You know, it's like they want to support creators, but we always envisioned a portal where they can support Keep me one of them mugs, will ya, before they run out?
All right, man.
For your wonderful Cuban-American...
There they are!
Good to meet you.
I'm telling you, Russell, you're going to have to tell that one to go home because she will work all night.
I know.
I have Cuban-Americans working back here.
They never stop.
I'll just put on a Che Guevara t-shirt and chase her the hell out.
I'm going to dress like Trudeau's dad.
All right, Russell, thank you, brother.
We'll talk with you soon.
Have a great night.
Peace.
Take care.
See you guys.
Bye bye.
Thank you.
Hey, sorry you guys, I was really focused on that, wasn't I? But it was compelling.
I hope you got...
Let me see what's going on on Fox, right?
How we doing with our Fox...
...types of decisions to...
...state.
We will, of course, work to get that graphic updated.
I think we had some other propositions...
...treen on me for a minute, and then will you just see if you can get audio out of that one?
Yeah, that was pretty interesting, wasn't it?
If you don't vote, you're essentially voting for God and an afterlife.
The Trippie Hippie Emporium.
I bet the four dislikes are...
Ah, cool.
Trump...
Ah, just called Trump Winding Florida.
That's got to be on Fox, isn't it?
Let me have a look.
...was needed for these to pass here.
Well, our colleague, Christina Evans, she's tracking some of the reactions to the failure of some of these proposals on social media.
Christina, what are they saying?
Absolutely, Andrew.
You pointed it out.
Yes, the Florida Governor, Ron DeSantis, was one of the first people to come out and say that both of these amendments had failed when we're talking about marijuana and abortion as well.
Taking a look here inside of our social studio, I want to pull up For you, some of the tweets that we have been monitoring right now.
Here's a look at that tweet from Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
He says, with the polls now closed in Florida, Amendment 3 has failed.
Amendment 4 has failed as well.
Again, one of the first people that we saw call this.
But again, an additional reaction is coming in from the state.
Take a look at this tweet there from Florida Representative DeSantis.
He says, spent tens of millions of taxpayer money against abortion rights and legalizing marijuana.
This criminal and abuse of state dollars must be investigated by the Department of Justice immediately.
So, of course, that is, again, Representative Maxwell Alejandro Frost there in the state, upset at the way that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis went about going on a blitz to make sure that these amendments did not pass in the days before the election.
Here's also some results as well.
I will baptize you.
There's some people who want to get baptized.
Come to Miami.
The baptisms are flowing fast.
Of course I will.
And we want to help people to realize that those expectant mothers who need help will still be able to get it.
So just some of the reaction that we're now seeing come in on social media in response to these amendments failing.
Again, with the Florida Governor Ron DeSantis...
Let's have a look what's going on on X right now.
So Isaac's going to scroll.
It's my feed, is it?
Oh, yeah, look at this.
This is good.
I like this.
Can we do pip with X? Trump is up 11 points in the head of Latino Miami.
Yeah, can't we just scroll as if you were on your phone?
Thanks, man.
And stop it if I say you want to.
Yeah, that's good.
That's good.
Don't worry.
Go full screen with it.
It's okay.
Let's have a look.
Yeah, go up a bit faster, a little that way, so that I can check it and stop you if I see something interesting.
Right, stop on Glenn Greenwald there.
NBC's Steve Cohen has shown that Trump's significantly improving his share of the Latino vote in Key, Florida County.
But hasn't Florida been called for trial?
Is that updated, that feed, right to the moment?
Updated right to the moment, like, you know, refresh it.
Yeah, well done.
Yeah, that's good.
That's good.
Couldn't I have someone else doing this?
Like, couldn't Taylor do this?
Okay.
Okay, but can I, now can you go refresh the Twitter page?
Because this might be Twitter an hour ago.
Like, press Home on Twitter.
So it goes to the very top of Twitter, what we're seeing right now.
Cool.
Nice one, man.
Nice one.
Hmm.
Yeah.
Oh.
Oh no, that's unfortunate.
What's going on there?
What's Roseanne saying?
I hope when RFK takes over health industry, you remove soy and plastics from food supply.
She don't play Roseanne.
Let's see what Dave Rubin's saying.
You're morally required not to lose hope.
You're morally required, you know, to not lose hope.
You're required morally to maintain faith in the future regardless of the evidence at hand.
There he goes.
American Values.
RFK Jr.
just gave an inspiring election night speech at the American Values Gala when speaking about his growing relationship with Trump.
He recounted the time that Donald Trump took out a pen and drew a map of the Middle East from memory.
Citing the troops.
That's pretty good.
That's pretty good.
The strength of each region.
He has an incredibly granular understanding of the issues.
Nice.
Nice.
Elon Musk saying, the prophecy has been fulfilled.
Blink and you missed it.
So what's that data?
What's that referring to?
Do you know what he's referring to there?
I think that's like Polymarket or Caltech.
Right, right.
69.9.
Okay, and then our little map there is reddening right up.
I'm going to go over to see what...
I mean, CNN. I don't think CNN are putting out on YouTube, baby.
I'm starting to doubt them.
I'm gonna go over to CNN. - Actions.
To my boys.
- I'm actually the CNN.
- I'm proud of the two of you.
You know, I know that this has been tough.
I know it has been easy.
Did you do that?
I reckon during...
That's...
That's CNN, but when I try and CNN... See, like, oh man, it's all gone.
Let's put a video on for a minute because it's all gone a bit, it's all gone bonkers.
I continue to think that our voting machines are too vulnerable.
Right, here's a, right, so there's going to be a lot of talk about voting machines.
Here's a compilation of Democrats panicking.
Yeah, did you see me on Crowder, baby?
Thanks, Joe WIA. Liverpool 4-1.
Nice.
Let's have a look at some Democrat candidates complaining about voting machines.
Check this.
I continue to think that our voting machines are too vulnerable.
Researchers have repeatedly demonstrated that ballot recording machines and other voting systems are susceptible to tempering.
Even hackers with limited prior knowledge, tools and resources are able to breach voting machines.
In 2018, electronic voting machines in Georgia and Texas deleted votes for certain candidates or switched votes from one candidate to another.
The biggest seller of voting machines is doing something that violates cybersecurity 101, directing that you install remote access software, which would make a machine like that, you know, a magnet for fraudsters and hackers.
These voting machines can be hacked quite easily.
You could easily hack into them It makes it seem like all these states are doing different things, but in fact three companies are controlling this.
It is the individual voting machines that pose some of the greatest risks.
There are a lot of states that are dealing with antiquated machines.
Right?
Which are vulnerable to being hacked.
Workers were able to easily hack into an electronic voting machine.
It was possible to switch votes.
43% of American voters use voting machines that researchers have found have serious security flaws, including back doors.
We know how vulnerable now our systems were.
I know the hackathon that took place last year where virtually every machine was broken into fairly quickly.
I actually held a demonstration for my colleagues here at the Capitol where we brought in folks who, before our eyes, hacked election machines, those that are being used in many states.
Aging systems also frequently rely on unsupported software, like Windows XP and 2000, which may not receive regular security patches and are thus more vulnerable to the latest methods of cyber attack.
In a close presidential election, they just need to hack one swing state.
Or maybe one or two.
Or maybe just a few counties in one swing state.
I'm very concerned that you could have a hack that finally went through.
Hmm.
Interesting.
Interesting, you lot.
How are you getting on in there, the real mix?
How are you getting on, Summon2211?
I don't think I'm going to do anyone else's streams now for the rest of the evening.
I've done a little bit of rumble with Dave Rubin, done a little bit of rumble with Crowder.
From now on, though...
I'm just going to hang out with you lot.
It's just going to be us now.
So if you've got any questions for me, like you, Leto, or you, Jam Cham, or you, XGooGX, or you, any of you, we can chat right through it.
Let's see what they're saying on...
In our race, I certainly recognize right now...
It's a long speech.
His speech has been going for a while.
That's good, though.
It's perfect.
And MSNBC. I want to see what MSNBC... I'll stop it to give us a chance, and I'll see what they're saying on MSNBC... Is that like, uh, is that what...
Oh, this is pretty good.
It's pretty helpful.
This is helpful.
Okay.
That's actual information.
Oh, wow.
But these things, you know, this is the first time I've covered an American election, can you tell?
Um, or any election, actually.
And...
Doesn't it fluctuate wildly?
and can't there be hanging chads and madness for days?
You're looking sharp.
Thank you very much.
Thanks for that.
Hey, I love all of you guys.
Hey, you lot on Locals.
Hey, can you...
Yo, Taylor, can you refresh the Locals feed for me?
I can't see...
I can't see these babies.
I'm going to watch Fox Ride.
Ben will still be that guy giving a speech.
...is on an unsustainable trajectory.
But let there be no doubt that this is a...
All right, so you've been listening to now new...
Yeah, we've heard him.
I get it.
You're in the Senate.
Come on.
Where's Bobby?
Says Dog Odds.
Do you mean Bobby Kennedy?
Yeah, after some serious corruption.
I checked that.
I mean, I'm a fave with that story now.
Oh, no, Andrew Crap, I like this guy.
A lot of them to make now that we are 10 minutes removed from this new hour.
And let's take them here.
So, going now there to Wyoming, Wyoming's three electoral votes.
Going to Donald Trump there, you can see with only around 2% of estimated votes counted, Trump besting Harris there right now at least.
They're 3-1.
So, wanted to make sure we got that in.
Alright, Louisiana here.
Eight electoral votes.
Louisiana being called for former President Donald Trump over Vice President Harris.
Trump getting eight electoral votes out of Louisiana.
Louisiana staying in the red column here.
Also, we do have more of these...
Election results coming into South Dakota here.
Three electoral votes going to Donald Trump here.
This race just being called within the last couple of minutes here.
We also have more...
Oh, another Dakota here.
We have a North Dakota race called there.
So both Dakotas going into the Republican column for Donald Trump there.
Three electoral votes for Trump in North Dakota.
Here we go.
Pretty dignified.
Hey, Isaac, I think we need another stream, though, as well as Fox.
So, like, maybe CNN or MSNBC, but, like, something that's sort of content so I can tease them about it, frankly.
Not this Japanese one, although this Japanese coverage is pretty good.
In fact, don't worry about that so much.
In fact, it's more of a priority to do this than locals, unless we're discovering that locals isn't up or was never up.
Cool, baby.
Can we...
But I'd love to, um, don't worry about it.
Go to the, um, cool.
Oh, that doesn't make sense.
Taylor, send a message in the local chat to see if it's working.
And then, and then, why recognize it for the last hour?
Tell me if you think this is a good idea.
Let's just, like, move through different people's streams.
We've got...
Yeah, it's a little deceptive, Andrew.
A bit flat.
Can we get what they're putting on TV? Whether it's MSNBC or CNN, have a look at some of their stuff, baby.
I'm not going to start bothering people that are at Mar-a-Lago trying to have a very pleasant evening.
Yeah, CBS, let's see what they're doing.
I'd love to see CBS. Yeah, it's dignified, and it was actually helpful information, but it's also, I thought, a little dry.
I don't know what you guys were thinking about this, Ricochet, or you, Clone Deez, or Turtle Tugger.
CBS is this one.
Let's have a look at CBS. Start in Michigan and take a look at how voters who are older, older than age 65.
This is what I want.
Demographic breakdown.
55% of the vote and Trump has 43.
That becomes increasingly historically interesting because in 2020 the share was roughly the same and Joe Biden only won that group of seniors by two points.
Oh.
So Kamala Harris is up by 12, by 12 among seniors.
Everyone's just trying to make sense of it all.
They can't make sense of it.
Let's hop on over to Wisconsin.
In Wisconsin, you see Harris up with voters over age 65, 58 to 42.
In 2020, Joe Biden won that group, but only with 6% of the vote.
So Harris is at 16, Biden was at 6.
So that's another state, essentially Wisconsin, looking like Michigan when it comes to senior voters who are a larger share of the electorate than those younger voters.
Now I've got us over in Pennsylvania.
You see there Trump is up 50 to 48.
But in 2020, Trump won that group of older voters.
Hey, if you're watching me on Locals, I can see your comments aren't working right.
Hold it, it says 16 new.
No, it's coming now.
16 new.
17 new.
Now go to the bottom of the chat over there, JT. It's working now.
26 new.
They're coming thick and fast.
Hey, SensiFarts.
I'm looking at Rumble, Jed said Therapy, Joey Yodo, Hollies.
Yeah, just go click that.
That should sort us out for a while.
...was older voters.
I can't break it down by gender for you, though.
Break it down by gender!
...too thin, so I can't, I'm anticipating your next question.
And I think, you know, the way to describe this, you know, and I think for many of us who have covered a number of these presidential elections and talked to the strategists on both sides...
Hey, Beth in Wonderland, you enjoying this stuff?
Hey, Negligent Banana, I'm so glad that you're here with me.
I'm in Miami!
65 voters.
And faith trumps feelings.
Yes, I'm willing to baptize people.
We've got to find somewhere safe, though.
I can't be baptizing people soon.
That exit poll data shows that in Michigan, in Wisconsin, that she is overperforming Joe Biden among the plus 65 group, which is a reliable...
It's so great.
In the over 65, like, I don't know, like, even in something that I know about a bit as a spectator, like football, when people try to make predictions based on, like, anything other than Manchester City are going to win this because they're Man City, it never, it never works out.
That is part of it.
And this, again, is why they've been so confident that ultimately they'd prevail in those big three states in the Midwest, is they knew, with elderly voters especially, they were going to do all right.
All right, Ed O'Keefe and everyone, thank you.
When we return...
Yeah, she's always on.
...in those battleground states, and especially Arizona, which perhaps some history has been made in the U.S. Senate there.
CBS News America decides.
Election 2024.
We'll be right back.
For adverts over there on CBS. Let's see who's brought up the...
That might have been what it was on MSNBC, though, innit?
Get all the CBS News election information at your fingertips.
I do want it at my fingertips.
Active election maps.
Push alerts on...
Yeah, maps and push alerts.
News and 24-7 streaming coverage.
Why do anything other than watch news 24-7?
That's all you're offering.
They don't carry their ads on YouTube.
Let's see what Fox have got to say.
What do I mean by those civil liberties and civil rights?
You've been to Disney World.
You're living in a theme park, baby.
I hope everybody will vote a yes on Prop 1.
And the ERA added to our U.S. Constitution as well.
So other things that I hope we can work on in this next Congress, we need a national paid leave policy.
We need to make sure that families don't have to make these tough decisions about caring for a child or a loved one and bringing home a paycheck.
We have to make sure we keep supporting our work.
The electric buzz was intense.
A few are concerned and exhausted.
You should, like, listen, you stay with me, Enrica T. You stay right here in this street.
We will fight against the politics of hate and division in this country.
Woo!
Woo!
No cricket should feel unsafe being on a college campus because of anti-Semitism.
Any kind of bigotry of any kind.
We have to, as a nation, Figure out who we are.
We are a country that used to love one another, that used to care about our neighbors, that treated others the way we wanted to be treated.
We have to focus on all that is noble, all that is right, all that is pure and admirable, and we have to lift that up into our national dialogue.
Now, I know you're thinking that's a lot of things to get done, but we are going to have a Congress to pass this agenda.
Because of the work the governor Harmony Grove asks, that's a good rhetoric, and I was just thinking then while looking at her, I bet if you met her, she's alright.
I bet she's an okay person.
Like, you know, haven't you met some politicians before?
It's not like they're actually evil when you meet them.
Someone asked, what's the most profound thought you had when you were praying today?
I've had this image of the thread.
I've had this image continually...
That amidst material reality, there are subtle threads that lead to deeper, more ethereal realms.
And I think we all understand that.
That we don't just live amidst the gross and material, but that there are subtler forces accessible to us.
So whilst I respect those that can provide Experts and particular commentary on a significant issue like the American presidential election.
Increasingly I find myself drawn to matters of spirit and perhaps that's natural as a newly converted person.
Republican challenger there.
That I've felt.
What happened there baby?
No, it's all okay.
I'm okay.
I know where the buttons are.
This coalescing of long-held ideas that is most interesting to me.
The things that I've felt and understood for a long time are coming together, are coming together.
So, the idea of the thread, that there is a deeper, yet accessible reality that we are reaching and approaching.
That's what came to me today.
See what he's a lot of saying.
William Fox.
Texas going to Trump, kind of knew that.
New York going for Harris, definitely knew that here.
I think right now, and we want to bring in Tom Lobianco.
The jigsaw's pretty filled in now.
Ohio Senate race, aren't they?
Yeah, all eyes are on the Senate race.
And real quick here, just because we mentioned them, no New York, Texas are not surprising, but nonetheless, they both carry a lot of electoral votes.
So now that we see that New York is officially in.
Is it literally grey on the West Coast because of the time, because of the way that the planet is rotating?
Is that why?
Well, that's kind of lovely, isn't it?
That in itself is a reminder of a deeper power.
As the Earth spins and travels around the Sun, the light illuminates the East Coast first and travels across, illuminating and bringing light.
It reminds me of when I visited Angola Penitentiary, Louisiana, and the Governor Burr Kane said the executions that he practiced in that prison were done at dawn, so that it was God that determined when those men would die, not him.
I still felt there's been a judicial process that's led to them being in prison and there are a lot of questions to ask about the death penalty but nevertheless to be reminded by the change in colour of the map that there are greater powers at work is perhaps the kind of humility that we need to access on election night.
The split-ticket voting.
We talked about that before.
We're starting to see this in play, especially working-class voters, working-class men.
And that's a really big dynamic this cycle.
Yeah, and just to set the stage here, Tom Loyanco with 24Sight is going to be with us throughout the hour, kind of popping in, reacting in real time to some of these results.
Though we do have some live events going on right now.
Not reacting in real time.
I'm just gonna watch that, and then in a couple of hours, I'm gonna react.
Republican Mark Robinson, he's at his election night victory party here.
Let's listen.
When we go together, not as Democrats, not as Republicans, not as independents, but as North Carolinians.
Okay, I want to see, I'm going to watch CBS for a little bit, see what I'm saying.
First state to hold a referendum like this, where reproductive rights were restricted, not expanded.
And failed.
All right, Margaret Brennan.
Thank you.
And when we come back new results CBS News America does Karen love adverts on CBS was excited to see that look Lauren Her own pocket she digs and she doesn't stop when she reaches the bottom of the pocket either She carries on right through the lining, and when she reaches her own skin, she digs a little deeper still.
Then she moves through the sinew, the fascia, the muscular tissue, and the veins until she reaches bones.
At that point, some Wolverine-like metal things come out of the fingers of this ordinary voter that I'm drawing attention to now, and it shatters through the thigh bone.
And that is what will finally restore America to sanity, people's ability to reach through their pockets into their innermost being, and I mean their physical being, and dig out bone marrow with Wolverine claws.
Am I getting this message across?
To listen and work across party lines to do what's right for North Carolina, because no person or party has a monopoly on good ideas.
To all of the smart and smart-aleck young people on my campaign, Thank you for the long days and late nights.
Thank you for the hard and high quality work.
and thank you for the laughter along the way.
Perfectly nice human being.
What's going on on CBS? To be asked and need to be answered.
Like a John Grisham novel.
This is amazing.
Real justice.
48 hours.
Now streaming on the free CBS news.
What have we been doing with our lives?
We could be watching real justice.
CBS mornings plus clearly more news, more smart conversation.
More money saving tips, more recipes.
More uplifting ways to get you on your way.
Plus more sports, more weather.
Clearly more CBS mornings.
like the marketing is this is That would be very uplifting to watch that morning show.
We're back with the lady.
I'm Lindsay Reiser at the CBS Broadcast Center in New York with coverage of CBS News America Decides.
Let's go to Michigan, considered crucial to decide the outcome of the presidency, where 15 electoral college votes are in play.
CBS's Jerika Duncan is in Detroit.
I actually read, I bought a book for my daughters about on the significance of the electoral college and it was the first time I'd understood it.
We are looking at some counties specifically to keep our eye on but I want to share with you some information we just got from exit polls that show Harris is leading when it comes to voters 65 and older but when you look at the statistics or the numbers I should say that come in for those 30 and under Trump is actually leading in that demo so Something worth noting there.
Of course, the votes are not all in, and we're still getting reporting from other counties.
Three that just closed up actually at 9 o'clock this evening.
But I want to talk about the counties to look for.
Wayne County, one of the largest counties, and it includes Detroit and Dearborn.
This is significant because Detroit, of course, has that large African-American population.
And when you look at how that group turned out in 2008 for Obama, They set a record then at 5 million votes here in Michigan.
5.5 million people voted in 2020.
And at that time, we saw about 53 percent of registered voters that came out in the city of Detroit.
Wayne County's executive telling us within the last hour or so that he believes that number is actually going to be slightly lower when you look at the number of registered voters that came out.
Rahik, 145.
Great show, Russell.
Yeah, it's pretty good, isn't it?
I like this.
I like watching the regular TV and sort of analysing the data as it comes in and the sort of fixation that we have now that we have the capacity with statistical information at a granular level.
You can see how it's affected sport, marketing, economics, and right now it's affecting politics.
Like, I've never seen it.
The 65-year-olds, they love Kamala Harris, but under 30, they love Donald Trump.
Wait, wait a minute.
There's a little boy coming by.
He's just nine years old.
He can't vote.
No, wait a minute.
No one's asking him for ID. He has voted.
Oh my God, this whole election could turn on a boy with a crayon.
Vote is another one because this is a big market, as you know, for labor, for union workers.
The UAW president, Sean Fain, who I spoke to today, said that they made 300,000 trips knocking on doors here in the state of Michigan.
Lindsey?
Jerika Dungan in Detroit, thank you so much.
Polls close in three more states at the top of the hour, Nevada, Montana, and Utah.
You're watching CBS News, America Decides.
Superstar approaching, superstar approaching.
I can see clearly now that the rain is gone.
The early mornings are outrageous on CBS. I'm gonna get up earlier.
Let's do it!
Let's go!
Let's do this!
Right, they're selling fun.
Like, it's like people have had enough of everything being done.
Superstar approaching, superstar approaching.
Just get your popcorn and get ready.
Come on, Julia.
Oh, no.
I will if you will.
You go, gals.
Ew!
If you can't get into the market, it's okay.
Renting is fine.
If you can't afford a house, renting's fine.
Eat some pesto.
Chop up this bun.
Shut your mouth.
Cuddle a lady.
Have a pleasant afternoon.
Go to a ditty party.
Have a wonderful night.
Come on!
You're 70 years old?
Yeah.
I'm 21.
Oh my god!
Funny that the TV shows tell you what they are.
This is fun and uplifting and smart.
Are you fun and uplifted and smart?
I suppose I am.
Well, who's you fucking told then?
Welcome back to CBS. I'm wearing purple to make a point.
America decides campaign 2024.
We are sharing some of the striking I voted stickers that have caught our eye.
Take a look at Michigan.
It shows a werewolf pulling apart its shirt while howling at the sky.
The image was actually created by a 12 year old from Grosse Pointe, Michigan.
It was one of the winners in the state's first ever sticker design competition.
There's been a sticker design competition.
The society's about to fall apart if you don't vote for the right candidate.
Also, though, this boy's designed a werewolf sticker.
In the East, 630 in the West.
And in the race to 270, Donald Trump has 162.
Kamala Harris, 62.
But you would think that's game over, no, but then like California's got like 50 electoral college seats.
So don't worry, I read a book.
It was a children's book, my children's book, and so I understand the electoral college a little.
Let's go to the Sunbelt.
Also, toss-ups at this hour.
Nevada does not close until 10 p.m.
Eastern, so we'll check in there as well.
CBS News projects Donald Trump will win Louisiana.
Voters in the Bayou State have chosen a Republican for president since 2000.
CBS News projects Rhode Island for Harris.
And CBS News projects New York.
I say that, like, the way she's saying CBS News is quite grand, isn't it?
Like, CBS News predicts, well, we're predicting, we're going to say all sorts of stuff.
I'm going to talk about that werewolf boy sticker thing again.
Where are you going to go with that?
They're major, and I'm glad you have up the state of Virginia, because something interesting is happening there.
Something interesting is happening in Virginia.
We rate it currently as lean Harris.
You can see 59% of the vote in.
But what is interesting and cannot be described in any way, shape or form as encouraging to the Harris campaign.
I will explain the Electoral College.
college in addition to the popular vote that takes place within each state each state has a number of electoral college votes delegates that are themselves forced to vote the way that the population voted so if you win the popular vote within the state those delegates go that way but there's a disproportionate number of delegates in each state that was established when those states were more sparsely populated
so if you win the popular vote in california for example you get 54 votes, but if you win it in someone like, I don't know, Wisconsin, you get four.
That was just a made-up example.
So there are certain states that have more electoral college value than others, and I think I've demonstrated that I understood that.
Do I get a biscuit?
That's cookie in your language.
And Prince William County.
All of those...
Prince William County.
Kamala Harris is not performing as well.
One of the emphasis of the Harris campaign to all of us leading into this election was how well they were going to do in suburban areas around large major metro areas.
At least in Northern Virginia, that is not manifesting itself.
As I said before...
Manifesting itself.
That is not manifesting itself.
That's not how reality works.
...vote is, show you what she needs and what we project.
Charlie Shashka, chocolate chip.
...as large as Joe Biden achieved in 2020.
That's a story of itself.
So, and just a reminder...
Petty Hope asks how much Trump is drinking.
Trump does not drink.
And I am hearing from one source close to the Trump campaign that Trump is actually performing better two to four points in these rural counties in Virginia and North Carolina.
Essentially, he's turning out his vote there, which blunts any advantage that Democrats have in the cities.
It blunts that sharp bit at the bottom of Virginia.
You see this bit that looks like a shoe?
That's been blunted by rural voters and by like a mouse in a straw hat has nibbled it into a nub.
Robert Costa.
I have some new reporting to build upon the data just outlined there by Major Garrett.
In Virginia, there has been a real emphasis by former President Donald Trump to build a coalition there.
Chris LaCavita, who's one of the people running the Trump campaign, a retired Marine veteran, actually...
He's a Marine veteran, okay?
...Virginia.
I know him.
Trying to recreate Governor Glenn Youngkin's 2021 effort, where he was able to really make inroads into the suburbs of Washington, D.C., in Northern Virginia, and convince them on the business front that Trump, the Republicans, are standing with those kind of voters.
So they're feeling good about Virginia.
Down in Mar-a-Lago right now, my top sources say they're feeling...
I've got sources in Mar-a-Lago.
You think I can't call someone in Mar-a-Lago right now?
Oh, hello.
Hello, President Trump.
Yeah, I'm just wondering how it's...
Oh, no, this is on camera.
Oh, sorry, no, that was him.
What?
Yeah, you know, super helpful there.
Look, the numbers that we are seeing right now from Georgia and North Carolina really seem to show him running away with it down in the Sun Belt, okay, especially in Georgia, all right?
Now, this is very tentative, but some of the early exit polls we have seen have shown Trump performing, shown a lot more men voters...
Excellent reporting.
Thank you so much, Robert.
...and supporting Trump.
All right?
Which one am I? I'm a CBS am I? I'm confused.
Sorry.
Sorry about that, T.D. Heal.
One, because of that record turnout.
Two, because Donald Trump narrowly lost that state four years ago and because it is just too close to call at this hour.
What are you hearing?
Yeah, that's right.
Well, echoing kind of what Bob is saying there, you know, Trump campaign operatives here in the state are feeling pretty good about their positioning here, as well as the head of the Republican Party, Josh McCune, who we spoke to, head of some of these returns.
And here is why, particularly in some of these outlying counties, kind of outside of the greater metro area here in Atlanta, places like Forsyth County, Cherokee County, that are typically part of that northern red wall as you get closer to the Tennessee border.
They are overperforming, particularly in Forsyth.
And that is notable because that is actually where former Lieutenant Governor Jeff Duncan is from.
And as we know, the former Lieutenant Governor actually endorsed Vice President Harris.
So, in that particular county, the Trump team is seeing much stronger numbers there than they did back in 2020.
And 2016.
But overall, kind of to some of the broader points you've been making, their focus has really been on these rural counties really trying to drive the turnout there, targeting some of these low-propensity voters in particular.
And so they do believe that that strategy is working.
Also, Trump campaign operative told me they're feeling pretty good about their performance with African American voters, particularly African American men.
They believe that they have been able to pick up support and see some gains in that demographic, although they don't have firm numbers there just yet.
Now, in terms of talking to those with the Harris campaign and Democrats here in this state, they are continuing to keep their fingers crossed because they acknowledge and note that there are still a lot of outstanding votes out there, particularly in Democratic strongholds.
Well, you know, like, sort of now, this has a particular timbre untone, doesn't it?
Do you think there's going to be a bit, like in a few hours, where it all goes really mad, or a bit in 24 hours where it goes, oh, them voting machines?
When voting machines are on the blink, is that going to happen?
Because everyone's sort of perfectly reasonable and calm.
Well, the black men in Delaware seem to be behaving in this way.
Children, some of them up to nine feet tall, are pulling plants off of rooftops and using those to vote.
It also seems quite whimsical and merry, but I've got a feeling it's going to go, or is it not?
It's going to be like, oh, Trump won.
Well done.
Washington, D.C. on Howard's campus.
Every time the announcement comes of a state won by Kamala Harris, there are huge, huge uproars and applause.
And of course, when Donald Trump, in fact, wins a state or projected to win a state, there are boos.
They boo that.
They were very clear that they like Kamala Harris and they dislike Donald Trump.
I have been observing them, scrutinizing them.
One fella, I'd looked up his trouser leg, and he had waxed his shins.
They were all excited about the turnout as we've gotten deeper into the night.
Some of those states didn't hit the projections they wanted to see, only by a couple of percentage points, and so the black vote, while it turned out...
I'm offended by...
I'm not a black person, plainly, but I'm offended by the term, the black vote, and the...
Like, that's...
People aren't behaving like that, are they?
Like...
Like, my kid, we went on a Universal ride, like, you know, we went on a Minions ride at Universal.
It was pretty good, actually, because some of the Minions said hello to me.
Memories of happier times.
And, like, my kid, like, the ride tells you that you've been turned into a Minion.
You're all Minions now, since this thing's happened to you.
And I saw my daughter look at her hands to see if she was a minion, like Peggy, to see if she'd been transformed.
Oh God, I saw her do it.
Anyway, really we are limitless consciousness created by a Heavenly Father occupying temporarily physical identities and in eternity there is no male, female or minion and there certainly is no sort of black Wisconsin voter or over 65s in Delaware.
Let's start first with the blue wall, if you will, there.
These are the states that the Democratic Party believes if they win all three of them, and the numbers show Kamala Harris would become the next president of the United States.
At this hour, CBS News rates all three of those as toss-up.
They're a toss-up.
I went to school for journalism, and they're a toss-up.
Pennsylvania takes much longer to count.
Four years ago, we were all here until Saturday.
They were saying it would be quicker this year, but we don't know yet because we know that polls are still open in Pennsylvania because there were long lines today.
Now let's take a look at those Sun Belt states.
And there you see Georgia, a toss-up.
Still that vote coming in, although officials had told us that we would have a lot posting.
And I'm going to get to David Becker in a minute on that.
And then in North Carolina, where I am hearing From a source close to the Trump campaign that he is doing well in the rural areas in North Carolina and Virginia.
And so that is making them feel optimistic.
And a reminder, North Carolina is the only of the seven battlegrounds that Trump won four years ago.
David Becker, tell us where we stand now in terms of these battleground states and the vote count.
So first of all, we should just mention it's only two hours and 40 minutes since the polls closed in Georgia.
So there's a lot of votes to count.
I think we may want to call it up again to show how many votes have been counted so far.
I did the quick math.
I think it was about four million of a little more than five million out there.
So they're doing a pretty good job.
Remember, those polling places were ordered to stay open late in places like Fulton County and DeKalb County because of bomb threats and other issues.
So, yes, it looks like about 4 million have been counted and reported out so far.
So I think they're actually doing a pretty good job, and I expect that we're going to see that lion's share from the Atlanta metro area come in shortly.
And as you know, in Pennsylvania, it's a little different because we've got those mail ballots, those 2 million mail ballots that they're working diligently to process.
I don't think it's going to take until Saturday.
But I think it will take a couple of days to get to the point where we know exactly who won Pennsylvania, depending upon the margin.
Good information.
And of course, Nevada closes at the top of the hour.
And so we will have any results and reporting from there as soon as that comes in.
Of course, one of the things we have been talking about tonight is control of Congress and the United States Senate.
And I was just curious myself about what's happening in Ohio.
No, she's a nice person.
...banking committee.
I was curious.
I'm going to talk to this guy.
...how pivotal control of the U.S. Senate is for the next president.
If they want to get cabinet members confirmed, Supreme Court nominees confirm, who controls the U.S. Senate is everything.
Senseless wars and the endless servicing of corporate interests and unelected bodies like NATO. You gotta have the Senate on board.
Now the three-term incumbent Sherrod Brown is trailing early against the Trump-endorsed Republican challenger Bernie Moreno, a businessman from Ohio.
Tart28, why are you watching CBS? CBS is doing good, I think.
I like him.
Look at this guy in front of the arena of the French flag.
He's trying his best.
Ohio is the next one up, the one we are watching meticulously, Nora, as the results continue to pour in.
Really important information.
Scott, you're doing well.
I can't tell you how much I love you.
I'm married.
I've been in Congress for many years.
Yeah.
Well, we'll continue to see there what exactly or how things pan out in the Senate.
And that Texas race that I think a lot of people are interested in, looks like Cruz may be maintaining a lead there.
So that would be another lost opportunity for Democrats.
I just wanted to turn back to Georgia and North Carolina if we could.
Former President Trump currently has a lead.
The Harris campaign's still holding out hope, however, because they look again.
We've heard evidence of long lines of college kids in Pennsylvania and other places.
There are long lines, apparently, of several hours still.
UNC Charlotte, UNC Wilming.
You're American.
Does things like, there's long lines of college kids.
Does that ever play out?
Does that ever, like, well, we fought with one, but there was a long line of college kids.
No?
It's just they're thinking of stuff to say, aren't they?
Despite those numbers.
All right, Ed O'Keefe, thank you.
And ahead, we'll talk with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.
CBS News America decides election 2024 returns in just a moment.
How long before we get kicked out of the building?
Don't we get kicked out of this building pretty soon?
We get kicked out of the building at 10.
We can't leave.
This is an election!
The political bedfellows this cycle are some of the strangest I've ever seen.
Now, she could be in good shape.
One of the things, you know...
Now, wait a minute.
I've seen some political bedfellows that have been in great shape.
Now, look at the shape of this lady.
She's magnificent.
She's like an ice cream cone that's come to life.
Where's me?
I'm like a character that was a broom in an animated film represented by a human in a hit off-Broadway show.
Democrats have usurped that and have done a lot better under Ben Wickler, Democratic Party Chair in Wisconsin.
Ground games, turnout, operations, those things matter, especially in tight races like this.
So, you know...
It's not unforeseeable that she wins and Trump wins, too, in Wisconsin.
That's not out of the realm of possibility here.
Let's back up here.
Let's go back to Political Science 101 for a minute, Tom.
Explain to us why we're talking so much about the balance of power in the Senate and the House.
How does that dictate how powerful of a president we're going to be working with?
Well, I'll tell you.
You know, you hear voters complain a lot about how Washington doesn't get anything done and need to return to normal order.
It is incredibly hard to pass legislation through Congress and get it to any president's desk these days.
And certainly a lot of that has to do with the Senate.
You know, you need, typically you need to be able to break a filibuster.
You know, with the exception of the courts, it's 60 votes.
And, you know, neither side, the traditionalist in the Senate, have wanted to touch that.
Okay?
So in a strong sense, no matter if you get a Harris presidency or a Trump presidency again, it's not a guarantee that you're going to be able to move things.
Now, where that comes into play is those nominations and whether you're able to get...
They've got a great map.
All that crowd.
What are they watching there with him?
Have we seen him?
He's CNN. Look at them.
Now that's coverage.
Now that is what you want.
You want a big, massive map like that, don't you?
That's the dream.
We're in a very strong position right now.
If this goes as it looks, it might go with John Thune potentially becoming the Senate Majority Leader.
And again, a lot of A lot of things still yet to play out within the Senate Republican Conference.
That would give Senate Republicans and Senator John Thune out of South Dakota a lot of power.
Yeah, you know, Tom, speaking of who would be in charge of Senate Republicans, who would be the leader there, we aired Rick Scott.
A neckbeard who lives in your parents' basement?
Nixie sticks?
That's not the kind of discourse we're encouraging here.
This is a symposium.
Leader in the Senate, he's thrown his hat into the ring.
He's been very critical of current leader McConnell.
McConnell stepping back, but will remain in the Senate here.
So I believe those elections take place internally for Republicans on the House and Senate side November 13th.
We won't put the cart before the horse here.
We'll focus on today's election.
But...
I just want to get your sense here.
Let's focus on the Harris-Trump campaigns right now.
And, Tom, you've got a lot of sources within the Trump campaign.
That's their election night watch party.
We have this what we call a switch feed here.
We're seeing a lot of folks there with red MAGA hats.
I also just saw one of these Jewish Trump voters as well.
You see there people taking selfies.
So, you know, you can get a sense of the vibes.
You can't really glean anything results-wise.
Vibes?
That's not what we've come here for.
We want analysis.
I could do vibes on my own.
Inside Trump HQ. Well, you know, this campaign, and we've talked about this.
Thanks, Olsen 101.
Thanks, Central Scrutinizer.
As Trump campaigns go, has been remarkably disciplined.
And you've got to give credit to Susie Wiles there and Chris Lasavita and Tony Fabrizio.
Yeah, we've got to credit Tony Fabrizio.
We'll just go home and just admit it that democracy has failed.
America has failed.
Humanity has failed.
Matter, spirit, essence, molecules and cosmoses have all failed.
Give Fabrizio the credit he deserves.
At these rallies, all right?
Whether it's performative on purpose or whether he's just getting tired and, you know, worn out, whatever the reason, he's very transparent in his emotions and how he's feeling about things.
We've always known that about him.
So...
I don't know.
Look, the early results that we're seeing, again, go back to the Sun Belt.
It's about Georgia and North Carolina doing incredibly well there.
And if these exit polls turn out to be correct with a larger number of men breaking for Trump, especially with minorities, Black and Latino voters, that gives a lot of confidence.
And you can see that reflected.
Black men and Latinos are breaking for Trump.
And that makes me feel very, not only confident, but almost aroused to see them just sprinting freely for Trump.
Can you just picture them?
They're naked, these men.
They don't have to be.
That's not a condition of their voting.
They don't even need ID. They're nude, and they're greased, and they're breaking for Trump.
They're climbing over the fence at Mar-a-Lago right now.
They're going into one of the buildings where they said he had stored files, and these men are very Latino and incredibly black, and they've broken for Trump, and they're going through those files, and it says that there's a plan to potentially start a war with Iran.
It's part of the problem.
Now, is that what some political pollsters and pundits call hopium or not here?
What does that mean?
No.
Based on what we're seeing so far tonight, that looks incredibly unlikely to happen.
And that's standard for any campaign topic.
Yeah, I'm in America.
It's not even 10 o'clock.
Russell's not three-year-old.
Yeah, look, I'm not that tired, but we get kicked out of this building pretty soon, actually, because we're at the locals' building in Miami.
Can we look at that?
I want to watch that CNN that they're watching.
Look at this.
We're in a vortex, because Fox is filming that.
And they're watching CNN Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania is breaking hard for Trump.
It's ejaculating for Trump.
It's pulled its pants down for Trump.
Like, I want to watch what they've got.
Look at that.
They're watching television.
I'd love it if on that screen I came up and they're like, well, Russell Brand right now has done quite an accurate drawing of America.
He's done his level best there to represent it.
So this is the best scrutiny that we've got to offer.
You know, if that trend stays true, you're pretty much right off Arizona for Harris.
And, you know, again, and then it becomes an issue in Pennsylvania.
All right?
We've got to look at Allentown.
The Lehigh Valley.
All right.
You got to watch the returns coming out of there.
That was the big concern.
All right.
Watch out for Allen's town.
Allen is drunk.
He's delirious.
He's fallen asleep in a trash can.
He's woken up.
He don't know where he is.
He's breaking for Trump.
Blue wall to hold.
Sure.
Before we go, Tom, I've got to ask you about Puerto Ricans.
You want some proper entertainment?
We're going to BBC's coverage right now.
Let's see what they're saying.
This is taxpayer-funded entertainment.
This is the state's news from the BBC, where I come from.
Before we watch BBC, we all have to sing the national anthem.
God save our gracious King!
Long live our noble King of Isaac's finding it!
God save our King!
Oh my God, who do we replace?
Fox, we can't have BBC without losing Fox or CBS. Who do you want to lose?
Tell me in the comments, tell me in the chat on Rumble.
For Fox, if you want us to delete Fox, press 1.
If you want us to delete CBS, press 2.
The first one to 10 is deleted.
If you want us to delete Fox, press 1.
CBS, 2.
I'll tell you now that I think CBS's coverage has been better.
God's sake, and I'll just sing the national anthem while we wait.
Send them victorious.
You want CBS? Oh man, they want CBS gone.
I couldn't bias it.
It's gone.
We've got no choice, Isaac.
We've got Dominion vote machines here.
You vote for CBS to be nixed.
We wipe them out.
You may be wondering how the BBC are paying for...
We're not paying for...
Recovering your election.
Let's have a look.
Oh, CBS is now BBC. They're all the same, weren't they?
Mainstream media.
Let's check out this.
Let's check them out.
...have raped and murdered young women all across this country.
What?!
I mean, that's pretty heavy.
That's what...
...out of our country, and that's where we need to begin, and I stand by Donald...
I mean, I thought BBC was going to be a sort of reasonable voice, or she's saying that immigrants have raced and murdered women across the country.
He's from Texas there.
Thanks for joining us on BBC News.
Um, thank you.
That would have frightened us.
Democrat Congressman Joaquin Castro, also from the state of Texas.
Neutral colours, they're wearing purple and yellow.
BBC. Campaign headquarters.
I'll ask you about immigration in a moment, but tell us what things are like there right now.
Well, everybody is excited.
Obviously, very jubilant.
They're jubilant.
They're excited.
What do you want?
These are Americans.
They're not like us, British.
They express themselves emotionally.
We saw one little boy drawing a sticker of a werewolf.
Elsewhere, Latinos are breaking hard for Trump.
Greased-oiled Latinos everywhere you look breaking hard for Trump.
Well, that's not British.
What she said was the Harris-Biden or Biden-Harris administration's failed border policy.
I mean, in your state of Texas and across the border states, do you think that this is going to be one of the main driving issues for voters?
Well, I think the issue of the border...
We'll go.
We're going to have to go quite soon.
Let's report a bit more in England because the...
We're actually getting kicked out by security.
Tell him to come in.
If you look at what Donald Trump did when he was president, he purposely separated very young kids, young boys and girls, from their...
We're going to have to leave soon, because security, we're in the locals' building.
And, like, locals are lending us this building, because I'm on the road.
I'm a vagrant, baby.
Thanks for that $20.
Thank you, Melody Scott Zindel.
That's very, very kind of you.
Just to have pure instinct, I nearly showed you one of my breasts.
American citizens, not undocumented immigrants, a million American citizens who were deported.
And so that's what Donald Trump is promising.
And I assure you that there will be people, if that happens, if Donald Trump is somehow able to win tonight, there will be people in the real Grand Valley and relatives of theirs who will be wrapped up in that.
Congressman, just one question on that, though, because the point that the Congresswoman from Texas as well was making there is that...
BBC's coverage is intense, I think.
...that we've seen record crossings across the southern border and that people don't trust this administration or Kamala Harris on this issue.
Bribe security, says Pure Blood TV. Good idea.
Bitcoin just hit $73,000.
I don't even know none.
People don't just show up at the border because they're going to Disneyland.
There are root causes of...
Michael Jackson.
He ain't cancelled around here, baby.
We're getting booted out.
We're getting booted out, Christine.
That's as simple as that.
So that people won't have to feel like they have...
Michael Jackson, don't stop till you get enough.
Christy, what are they saying?
Charge Rumble.
They're going to charge the building.
Why did Kamala Harris not take action and then have accused him of electioneering?
Well, no, and as you know, he absolutely tried, and Donald Trump spiked the bipartisan border bill.
Why are you all talking about crypto?
Tell security to fuck themselves, man.
That's so dark.
No way.
Hold on, they are coming in.
Oh, come in, sir.
Do you mind joining me?
We're just covering the election in your country.
Do you mind joining us?
We'll get a seat for you.
I better go full screen for you.
Come in.
Come in.
Que es su nombre, señor?
Jorge.
Gracias, Jorge, for joining us.
Right, we've got the crucial Spanish, Hispanic demographic.
Sir, your collar is literally blue.
This is as good as it gets.
Right, this is actual insights.
Can you say welcome?
Bienvenu.
Bienvenu.
Welcome!
We're live live with Ciudadancia.
They're watching now and sending comments in the chat.
We're talking about the election of Trump and Kamala.
Are you a genuine American voter?
And have you voted?
Are you American?
Can you vote?
Yes, yes, I'm American.
I voted for Trump.
He voted for Trump.
The Latinos are breaking hard for Trump.
This one with an actual blue collar.
Are you a Latino, sir?
Are you a Latino?
Yes, Cubano.
He's a Cubano and he's broken hard for Trump.
I think this is good as wraps the night up.
This is our conclusion.
Thank you for joining us sir.
So we have to leave the building, is that right?
We have to go from the building.
Yes, the manager asked us to inform him that at 10:00, because the problem is that we don't know the situation, that we can leave the building.
We have to go from the building.
Yes, we feel it, but...
It's very important.
I understand, I understand.
Gracias para todo.
Okay, so this ends the coverage of Stay Free with Russell Brand.
A genuine voter.
He just is escaping.
Get back.
This means that Latinos have broken very hard for Trump.
Of course, we cannot conclude that this will mean a second Trump presidency, a 45-47 situation, nor can we fully trust this map.
But we are doing our level best to let you know that whatever the result tonight, ultimately you will maintain sovereignty over your own being, your own capacity to sacrifice yourself for a higher cause.
And remember, even people that disagree with you believe in what they believe.
I pray with the same fervor, although some of my conversations this evening suggested otherwise.
You've seen it there.
That's genuine journalism unfolding before your very eyes.
We will be back for our show tomorrow at the usual time.
And I hope that tomorrow we will wake up in an America that is free.
And is bonded and unified and is not chaotic because, you know, I've got a feeling that it could sort of go crazy just from watching that stuff.
It was all so sort of under control, but it had that sort of sense that it could go bananas, man.
Anyway, listen, I love you all.
We'll be back tomorrow with the results of your election and speculation, philosophy, contemplation, and considerations of what it all means, if indeed it means anything.
Until then, if you can, stay free.
Thanks for joining us.
We love you.
