Hey, everybody. I just finished doing a recording with Nicole Wallace. Always a pleasure to go on her program.

That sounds pretty good. We talked a lot about last night's election results, which were a smashing success for the Democrats.

A couple of things we talked about that I guess I really hadn't settled in for me in the moment, but now that I think about it is pretty cool and worth talking about.

One was the historic nature of the wins for the two female governors, Mikey Cheryl and Abigail Spanberger last night.

First female governor in Virginia history, that state's been around forever.

It's like 73, 74 governors. She's the first one. And I saw her, I saw her victory speech.

I hadn't seen it last night because I was doing that live show where she referenced being able to

tell her daughter what was like to be a governor and the possibilities, the imagination that it opens

up for young women and daughters.

I just thought that was pretty cool.

And then secondly, as we talked a little bit about Donald Trump,

which is, you know, on everyone's mind.

And I don't think it's really settled in that, like,

this guy had a great Gatsby themed Halloween party where there were burles

dancers in big martini glasses gyrating around rich dudes at the same time that Democrats

are running campaigns saying, hey, the cost of living is out of control.

So, you know, I think that might have had a factor in the election.

I'm just going to go out on the limb and say that.

Anyways, we talked a little bit about that, what Democrats have in mind for the future.

We previewed, I mean, I mentioned it, but we're kind of previewed what's coming up in our opposition newsletter from Lauren Egan about

how Democrats are not really seriously thinking about the possibilities of flipping the Senate,

which seems so remote not so long ago.
