| 0:00.0 | There is obviously a lot going on right now. A lot. I mean, it's day 25 of Donald Trump's war with Iran. |
| 0:06.9 | And it brought on some of the wildest, the weirdest, the most head-spinning comments from the president to date, both from him, I should say. |
| 0:16.4 | And also not to forget Pete Heggseth. And Senator Ruben Gallego is going to be here in studio to help us try and make sense of everything |
| 0:23.2 | that happened, if that is even possible, but he is a good person to attempt to do that. |
| 0:28.2 | But I just have to start tonight with that unbelievably delicious rebuke of Donald Trump in his literal |
| 0:33.8 | backyard. |
| 0:34.9 | I mean, yes, today was Election Day in Florida's 87th State House District, |
| 0:39.5 | which includes, as I was just talking with Chris about, Mar-a-Lago. And just to give you a sense of how |
| 0:44.7 | this district has voted in the past, because there was no way that this was going to sail into a |

| 1:11.8 | and she's going to win this race, and she will become Donald Trump's next representative in the |
| 1:17.0 | Florida State House. Now, Trump endorsed the Republican in this race. Trump himself voted in this |
| 1:23.8 | election and voted by mail, which is extra hilarious given his relentless attacks on mail-in voting. |
| 1:30.0 | And also, he was literally in Florida at the time. |
| 1:33.1 | So the list of things that are amazing about this Democratic flip is kind of, it's kind of too long to go through right now. |
| 1:39.6 | But here's the big picture. |
| 1:41.0 | It appears that this Florida seat is going to be the 29th legislative seat |
| 1:45.6 | that Democrats have flipped since Trump's second term began. Republicans, I should note, |
| 1:50.6 | have flipped zero, nada, none, no seats since the 2024 election. And all of those seats Democrats |
