We'll get a, we'll get to the amazing, incredible revelation surrounding the Trump, EU Ambassador Gordon Sondland in just a moment. First, we have to give you all of the updates with regard to the off-year elections that happened last night. So Democrats are in a very celebrity mood, a celebratory mood,

and they should be. I mean, last night was a good night for Democrats. It was. And Republicans can spin it,

as though it wasn't a terrible night for Republicans. And in certain ways, it was, I guess,

okay. If you look at Kentucky, for example, the Kentucky governor, Matt Bevin, who was always an

unpopular figure in Kentucky. Remember,

he ran against Mitch McConnell in the Senate primary. He just got destroyed by McConnell a few years

back. I think it was 2016. And then he ran for Kentucky governor, and he won. Well, he was a really,

really unpopular governor, and he lost very, very narrowly to Andy Bashir. That's not a huge

surprise. A bit of a surprise. It's not an

enormous surprise, but it is a bad thing for Republicans. Virginia was much worse for Republicans.

Virginia, the entire state has now turned blue. The state legislature in Virginia is now

completely run by Democrats. It had narrowly divided between Republicans and Democrats before.

All of this has, it should have Republicans feeling quite nervous,

because if you're going to take away one message from the election results last night, it is that

Republicans continue to do fine in rural areas. But if they underperform at all in those rural areas,

they are toast. In the suburbs, they're experiencing significant losses. And those losses are in large part due to a perception of the Republican Party that is censored on President Trump.

And it's just an unfortunate truth.

And I'll prove this to you with some numbers in just a second.
