| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to this edition of the Bill Press Pod and a special morning after election day roundtable. |
| 0:15.0 | In record numbers, the American people have spoken, but believe it or not, we still don't know for sure what the hell they had to say. |
| 0:23.7 | As of 8.30 this morning, November 4, Joe Biden leads Donald Trump in the All-important Electoral College, |
| 0:31.8 | 224 to 213, according to CNN. 238 to 213, according to Politico. But all the votes have not been counted. |

| 1:44.3 | Hi, thanks for having me. Ginger Gibson, Deputy Washington editor for NBC News Digital. Hi, Ginger. |
| 1:51.3 | Hello. |
| 1:52.3 | Good. Time to you there. Chris Cadillago is a national political reporter for Politico. Hi, Chris. |
| 1:59.2 | How are you? Good, good. |
| 2:01.2 | And Jason Dick, sleepy, by the way, Jason Dick, I think we all are deputy editor of Rolk, |
| 2:07.1 | CQ roll call. |
| 2:08.2 | Hi, Jason. |
