Welcome, one and all to the day of short. I am John Ida Rola. And if you're just listening on the podcast, you have not had the clue that visually preceded what I'm about to say for people watching live, that it is the pre-election show. It's a big day.

Some would say it's one of the most important elections of our lifetime.

Some would say, I would say that.

And here's what I'm going to do for you, dear viewers.

I'm going to do a show, okay?

90 minutes, news, we're going to make a few jokes. We're going to mock a few bad people.

Even though on some level, what are we doing? What we're going to talk about the news?

We're going to talk about the news. The elections tomorrow. Everything's locked in basically at this point.

We have one of two futures that is we're racing towards.

And I don't know about you, but I kind of just want to know which one.

I want to know if all of this stuff that we've been talking about for the past couple of years matters at all.

I'd love to know if Donald Trump's utter willful mismanagement of the pandemic

actually dissuaded anyone for supporting him once again. I kind of just want to know that.

I don't really want to like talk leading up to it. That just seems anticlimactic.

I'm going to because I'm a nice person and you guys are nice people. And also I like receiving a paycheck.

So I will do my job. I mostly just want to know who won. But anyway, joining me now to make

it a fantastic pre-election show, Francesca Fiorentini. How's it going?

Hey, John, it's going. Yeah, I just want you to like wake me up

when the insurrection's over, you know? Like, let's just get through this. All the chatter,

all of the like, you know, conspiracy theories like that the ghost of Mao Zedong turned votes for Kamala Harris. That's going to happen.

The Sydney Powell's, the new characters, John. My question is, are we going to meet the new

Jenna Ellis's? Are we going to meet the new Mike Lindels? Like, is there a whole new past waiting?
