Well, we got lots to get to. We'll get to that Jeffrey Tubin. He's a bad guy. Always was. We'll get to him. We'll get to Governor Cuomo. Is he about to make another dumb decision that will kill another 12,000 people? We'll get to that coming up. We'll get to the debate, which is Thursday night. Lots to talk about. Hard to believe, 14 days till the

0:22.9

election. It's two weeks from today, and I'll be glad when it's over, won't you, Joe Bartlett?

0:29.0

It's enough of this. Yeah, well, sadly, I don't think it's going to be over on number four. I think

0:35.9

we're going to be right where we are today yeah you

0:38.5

remember the 2000 election that was bush v gore where florida held up everything because there was

0:44.0

a lot of shenanigans going on with the ballots in florida that took a while it went to different

1:23.1

More people than ever came out. And what happened there, this could be what happens today is that

weren't sure they had counted everything. So it was held up for a long time. That's the problem you might have.

1:46.7

You might have a winner declared election night. And in some states, I'm trying to remember

1:52.3

Florida. How did that work? Florida was given to Gore and the projection, and it was taken

1:58.4

back and given to Bush. And then I guess there was no winner

2:02.3

declared that night. I'm trying to remember that election night. We had to wait until the morning.
