Summary

Well... what to make of the election night red ripple? Megyn Kelly takes a deep dive into all election night storylines, and storylines still to come, with Charles C.W. Cooke, host of National Review's "Charles C.W. Cooke Podcast," the New York Times' Jeremy Peters, author of "Insurgency," and Jason Riley of the Wall Street Journal, to talk about gains for the GOP, surprising victories for the Democrats, candidate quality playing a key role, the Dobbs factor in the results, the Trump impact and DeSantis' huge night, whether the polls were right or wrong, the COVID referendum from last night, the significance of the GOP seemingly taking over the House, and more. Then we take a closer look into two key states, Arizona, with Axios reporter Jeremy Duda, and Georgia, with Atlanta Journal-Constitution reporter Greg Bluestein, to discuss races that still aren't called, Stacey Abrams' latest loss, whether Kari Lake can still win, issues with counting votes, who has the edge in the Georgia runoff, and more. Plus Megyn takes listener calls about the future of Trump and the GOP.

0:46.8	It's not a threatening wave.
0:49.8	It's not what the Republicans wanted, but it's better than like, you know, an undertow
0:56.8	where the water goes back out the other way, which isn't exactly what happened either.

1:10.0	God help us.
1:11.0	Okay, that would be December 6 in the race between Hershel Walker and Raphael Warnock, but
