Well, hello Brent.

Hey, hi.

It is the day after the election.

Uh-huh.

And you know, let's just come right out and say I think it turned out in a way

Almost nobody except Donald Trump himself was predicting

Yeah, I don't think I don't think I I don't think I I don't think I I don't think I ever really

seriously considered

uh not just the possibility but the the implications like of course there's the

the horror show part of it, but there's also the practical part of it and it's all real now

You know I not to get too maudlin right at the top

but it reminded me a lot of when I lost my mom

to take cancer. Oh man.

Well, in that, not in like the impact on my life or anything like that, but in that, right up

until the moment she passed away, we were pretty, like, you have this kind of like inner confidence that everything's going to turn out all right?

Right. That like, no matter how scary something seems it's going to turn out all right.

And so you tend not to then think about the actual impact of what if it doesn't.

And you know what?

I'm also going to say in case it wasn't clear

from the statement I just made.

For this, for this coverage,

I'm probably gonna end up throwing any kind of like newscaster impartiality right out the window.
