I am Anthony Scaramucci and you may know me from my career on Wall Street or my 11 days in the White House.

They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks, but I'll tell you, if you read books, you can.

I love to read and my new podcast Open Book is about just that.

Each book is this curated source of knowledge which we can buy for ten dollars and

digest in ten hours together with some of the brightest minds and

authors out there, I'll turn the pages on everything from history and psychology to

finance and tech. You can find open book with Anthony

Scaramuchi on Apple, Spotify or wherever you get your podcast. I hope to see

you there. Hey everybody it's Joe Trippi and welcome back to that Trippi show.

If you haven't yet, please check out our last episode featuring my friend

karaakos periococcus and how Greece is reinventing democracy with digital.

I think it's I think it's really worth a listen and frankly I think the last two episodes have been

excellent and in are worth your time they all are but those two really stand out I

think now back to the latest rough night for Democrats on Tuesday. Let's get right into it.

Okay, Alex, how are you holding up? Man, what the hell, Joe? I mean I kind of mean that. It's like...

It's like... You need kind of meaning.

Democrats lost the state that Joe Biden won by 10 points.

It kind of feels like that what I've been struggling to wrap my head around and what a lot of people online have been saying is

It feels like we kind of got hit by a freight train and everyone kind of saw it coming and the thought about it earlier kind of feels like sometimes

rooting for this party is like rooting for the Washington generals and every time it seems like we have to do something, we just don't do it.

Well, first of all, we're not, we're not, we're not the Washington generals.

But look, this is like, it's a freight train that hits every four years. It has, regardless who the president was in Virginia.
