| 0:00.0 | Finally, guys, some odd news out of Japan, or as they call it in Japan, news, a giant |
| 0:23.9 | 60-foot tall robot that can walk and move its arms was unveiled in Tokyo yesterday. The robot is part of a tourist attraction which will open later this month. |
| 0:34.9 | The attraction will open by the end of December and will have destroyed most of Tokyo by the end of January. |
| 0:41.9 | James Gordon featured on 60 Minutes on Sunday night. Now that is a CBS property, so obviously it's a promo for their own show, but he is an interesting, very, very talented dude. |
| 0:52.9 | Oh yeah, a song in dance man, right? |
| 0:54.9 | Yeah. So the election was almost a month ago, and we're starting to get some information about what people are interested in as they went to the polls and some of the breakouts. |
| 1:07.9 | You might have heard some of the initial information from exit polling. I have been convinced by a couple of people that really understand polling that exit polling is completely, as I heard it described, hot garbage. |
| 1:19.9 | Never pay attention to exit polling. And even more so this year with record number mail. |
| 1:25.9 | Yeah, it's always been garbage and it was even more so this year. So just don't pay attention to exit polling in the future. |
| 1:31.9 | But it's been a while now, and so there is some stuff that we can actually nail down. |
| 1:36.9 | This is from the dispatch and Sarah Isger who does this for a living, breaking this stuff down. |
| 1:41.9 | In case you didn't notice the polls were wrong again, and they've got a graphic highlighting how skewed the polls were against Republicans in 2020 state by state just wrong in the same direction again polling organizations do not get right leaning Trump type voters. |
| 2:00.9 | And nobody's exactly sure why that is, but it's pretty clear that they don't now will that go back to something being kind of normal with Trump not on the scene. |
| 2:07.9 | I have no idea, but onto another topic. The polarization continues to accelerate the Wall Street Journal looked at landslide counties since 1980 a landslide counties any place where either president show candidate won by at least 20 points more than their national total. |
| 2:24.9 | In 1980 landslide counties were 4% so in Reagan dominated Carter in 1980 there were only 4% of the counties where it was a landslide county 20 point plus win or more. |
| 2:39.9 | This time around and it's been growing little by little a third. Wow. So it's gone from 4% to one out of three counties are landslide counties. That's how differently we see the world. |
| 2:53.9 | Wow. Isn't that that might be the most important stat of the entire election. We not only, you know, we're self-segregating. That's got to be it, isn't it? |
| 3:02.9 | It doesn't kind of go one way or the other. It's just your your in a county that's really this way or really that way. |
| 3:10.9 | And something what would explain that? I mean, even if you know, you got Joe Getty County, I found it that you got a big statue in the town square of me. |
| 3:20.9 | And Tiva just tried to tear it down, but I had it built with titanium so they couldn't. So you're there in Joe Getty County and you have we got the 50,000 people there. |
| 3:30.9 | Now the politics of America are getting more and more polarized. The Republicans hate the Democrats. The Democrats hate the Republicans. |
| 3:36.9 | But that doesn't change the number of votes in either direction. It has to be where self-segregating or what am I missing? No, I think that's. |
