| 0:14.8 | This week's shirt says this shirt helped fund a safe abortion. |
| 0:20.1 | Very nice. I've worn it a million times and apparently I don't know what it says. You funded three million abortions. I'm so brave. And by the way, this week we'll also post this for those who asked for it to be like unlisted on YouTube. We could do that. And I think that some of you asked for that will be able to do that this week. Yeah, we we can get that done. Hammond's not feeling great today, so we're going to try to rip her through this. The problem of staying awake late on an election night. Oh, yes, yes, but, but good news from the election. Good news all around. By the way, this is not a story I was going to cover, but this is in the exit polling from Tuesday night's elections when it came to the New York City mayoral election of that Zoran Mandani won. |

| 1:52.7 | And I'm sure there'll be more discussions to come about that. |
| 1:56.6 | Yeah. |
| 1:56.9 | I mean, it's nice to get good news. |
| 1:58.2 | It seems like Democrats really swept everything, which is... |
| 2:01.7 | It was a good night for Democrats, by and large, and, yeah, it's just good news for once in a political cycle. |
