| 0:00.0 | Well, ladies and gentlemen, if the polls are to be believed, the Democratic Party may |
| 0:22.0 | be in the middle of a disastrous collapse, where for the first time in a very, very long time, |
| 0:30.5 | the 538 Senate forecast, not the House, the Senate forecast has by a very small margin, |
| 0:39.4 | Republicans now favored to take the Senate. As you might remember, for a very long time, |
| 0:46.1 | for months, it looked like two to one, even three to one odds that Democrats would keep the Senate, |
| 0:53.7 | but probably lose the House. Things have shifted and shifted and shifted to the point where now, |
| 1:01.3 | if we are to believe the polling and we will look at that in more detail. The most likely scenario |
| 1:07.1 | is Republicans definitely take the House and maybe even take the Senate by a 52 to 48 margin, |
| 1:17.7 | Republicans now very slightly favored to take the Senate. It's basically a dead heat, |
| 1:24.0 | but a far cry from the 70 plus percent odds that Democrats had to keep the Senate just some months |

| 1:56.4 | to where now it is Republicans favored to take the Senate. Over in the House, the numbers even more |
| 2:04.5 | dismal for Democrats now and 84 percent chance that Republicans will win the House. If we look at how |
| 2:13.4 | those numbers have changed over time, you similarly see that it was getting closer there for a period |
| 2:20.8 | in early October, still roughly a two to one margin for Republicans, but now just completely |
| 2:27.9 | out of reach 84 percent chance, 84 percent chance for Republicans of taking the House. |
| 2:36.4 | One question that many of you have asked you came to me, some of you with tears in your eyes and |
| 2:41.4 | said, sir, can we trust the polling? It is absolutely the case that when you look at a lot of the |
| 2:48.0 | generic ballots, which aren't looking at individual races, but they, these are generic |
| 2:53.8 | Republican or Democratic support in, for example, the House vote. It is true that there are |
