| 0:00.0 | It finally happened. |
| 0:01.6 | A blue wave hit the country last night. |
| 0:04.8 | Republicans wiped out everywhere. |
| 0:06.6 | Virginia flipping. |
| 0:08.1 | New Jersey, not even close. |
| 0:10.1 | Georgia kicking out Republican incumbents and Donald Trump spent the night panic posting |
| 0:15.4 | like a guy who just had the floor drop out from under him. |
| 0:19.9 | We're going to go through the numbers. We'll look at the |

| 1:20.6 | Big night, big fallout. |
