0:00.0	What happened on Tuesday night in this country was a political earthquake for MAGA and Republicans
0:05.8	are still trying to figure out how to pick their jaws up off the floor while arguing it was
0:10.8	no big deal.
0:11.6	We're going to delve more deeply into that because Democrats flipped some of the reddest districts
0:16.1	in the country, Mississippi, Virginia, a Pennsylvania county that went for Trump last year, swung 24 points
0:23.1	blue.
0:24.1	So we're going to look at that and it is not just a blip.
0:26.7	It is voters saying we're done with the chaos.

1:31.9	we will try to end the Trump administration. Yeah, that's the point. Plus, the Fox News host
1:37.6	melts down over women voting correctly. All of that on today's show, we're still donating first payments from any new website memberships or substack subscriptions
1:48.9	to Feeding America.
1:50.3	We have now funded over 80,000 meals thanks to your support.
