Every time that I open up what used to be the hellhole of Twitter, it is now. the happiest place on Earth full of millennial-coded content, which is so perfect for me. I was thinking about this because tomorrow's CrookedCon. You're going to be there too, right? Yeah. So I'll see you in La Flash. Anyway, last year, when I was getting ready to go to CrookedCon, I was having this panic attack about what to wear, and I only had tight, like, jeggings-like jeans, which is very millennial-coded. Like, no Gen Z ladies are wearing those. And I was like, oh, my God, this is so dorky. I can't do this. I can't show up at, like, this cool thing and be dressed like a 42-year-old mom, even though I'm a 42-year-old mom. This year, I feel like I have to wear my jeggings because this is, like, the revenge of the millennials to a level I never expected. I can't believe how young all of these new leaders are. Yeah, James, Abdul. I mean, you go through the entire Senate. John. John. Annie Andrews. I mean, like, right? Our queen, our daughter. After queen. And you know who's about to join them? Scott Cologne, who's also very young, who will be flipping Mississippi. And you'll pronounce his name properly, which I have been messing up a little bit. But I even asked. I was like, am I messing this up? And then I was asking Scott, and Scott definitely wouldn't have known the right way to do it. Anyway, we apologize, but so into your story. I cannot wait. This is also my first day back on The Five. Oh, that's going to be a. You should have. You should enjoy it. Yeah, I'm so excited, and Jesse is so dreading it. So he's been very on, like, the sane page about what happened, which I appreciate. There's no, like, denial of the wipeout. You know what I find interesting, and I'd love to get your thoughts about this, and we're definitely going off script, but this is going to be more interesting, is the fact that they all knew this was coming. Every single Republican I've spoken to after the election said, yeah, we knew this was going to happen. I mean, not to the extent that. At this level? Not to this level. Yeah. Like, they didn't think South Carolina would be in play or Mississippi would be in play. Right. But they didn't think South Carolina would be in play. They all thought they were going to lose the House and they were going to lose the Senate, and, like, there was really no chance for them. Most of them. Like, I spoke to a Republican yesterday who was like, oh, we never thought Ken Paxton had even a shot. Like. I think that that is a bit of a lie. Copium? Yes, the copium. We're in the hopium. Well, actually, it was a new hopium. It was just reality. And they're doing the copium. I think they thought it was possible that he would lose. But when you spend, and we haven't covered this yet, the amount of money that was lit on fire across the country, not just Elon Musk's personal piggy bank, which I know it's only, like, $10 to him, but seeing nearly $500 million go up in flames is fun for me. Like, I think they thought that they could save some of these seats and potentially even Ken Paxton's seat if they could mobilize people to get off the couch, at least, and come out and vote. But I think a lot of them knew it was going to be worse. And then to think of the contrast with Mike Johnson on TV, saying the polls are wrong, the polls underestimated the size of the wave. The polls were wrong. Just not, they weren't liberal enough. I mean, they didn't, and it's interesting, I think that the reason why pollsters couldn't find Republicans to answer the question was because they weren't going to vote. I mean, a big part of this is not just the fact that there are plenty of Republicans who turned out and were like, I'm going to vote blue for the first time, but so many Republicans stayed home. All the Republicans thought on election day you'd see this surge and like Republican turnout. And even in a state like Florida, which Republicans barely won, that state is now back to 2012 levels when it's a purple state, which DeSantis worked very hard to avoid. And so I think that this was a reckoning of epic proportion. Now, Democrats just have to do something that they're not known to do, which is not mess things up. And so let's see how they govern moving forward. All right. Yes to that. And we're going to be talking about what that governance could look like. Are there any particular plot lines that you would like to highlight that really blew your mind or you think are just super important to keep in mind as we begin this new blue era in America? Yeah, I mean, I think the biggest plot line is that it didn't matter whether you were on the left or in the center, as long as you had a D next to your name, you were popular. And I think that and at the same time, if you had an I next to your name in South Dakota or in Nebraska, you lost. I argued on election night that if Dan Osborne had a D next to his name, he would have been better on Tuesday night. And I think that is a major plot line that a lot of people were like, the Democratic Party brand sucks. But I don't know that it does suck as much as people claim, because it was very popular Tuesday night. I think it was popular insofar as it was the known opposition to the Republicans more so than the Democrats. than the party itself and what it stands for. Sure. But I think that you're right. And I love Dan Osborne. And I was really disappointed about that. I mean, I don't know what would have happened in Montana because remember, the Democrat wouldn't get off the ballot when the independent candidate was running ahead. But I think you're right about the independent thing. Another plot line. I'm just very excited. I can't contain myself about all of this. Another plot line I have that people need to talk about more is we need to invest in the South more. And I think that if there. We're Sunbelt people now. No, I know. But I'm saying like, I think even leading up like Louisiana, if we threw a couple million dollars into Louisiana, that state would have flipped. It would have. I know. 1.8 points. It was closer than Florida. Louisiana was, which is crazy to me. Scott Colom is going to be the next senator for Mississippi. I am comfortable making that prediction. It's not officially called, but I'm comfortable doing that. If you want to keep Scott in that seat moving forward, investing in a state like Mississippi, investing in a state like Alabama, if we pumped some more money and Doug Jones would be governor today. And so I think a lot of kudos needs to go to Stacey Abrams for what she built down there. In Georgia. In Georgia and just generally in the South. And I think moving forward, Democrats need to really look at the South and not just say it's a lost cause. Even Marsha Blackburn almost lost the governorship in Tennessee. I mean, it was a very close race. She's mad. Yeah. She is mad. Yeah, exactly. It was not an easy race for her by any means. So no, I think that's totally right. It also feels like where we should be going since we always talk about like Black women are the backbone of the party. And we certainly saw that happening in this election. Also saw, you know, they already vote for Democrats in high numbers, but an uptick with Black men as well. Obviously, this Latino surge is enormous and we can unpack all the dimensions of that. And wouldn't it be nice to own the Rust Belt? Wouldn't it be nice to own the Rust Belt? and the Sun Belt. Yeah. That's how you end up owning the country. One thing. Well, I have a ton of things, but one that I just want to get out there before we get into the topics is I realize it's been 10 minutes of just like, oh, my God, we're amazing. I cannot believe that Republicans do not have a single Republican representative along the border in Texas. Like the joy that that brings me that. I mean, I guess part of it is that the border is closed and that was a big deal. But Democrats were able to take the lessons of 2024 and learn from them and create campaigns rooted in showing that you learn those lessons and that you had more to offer. And it's really interesting to me to think about what Republicans are going to do with this, because so far it looks like save for maybe Ted Cruz, who I think just feels lonely. Because he's the only statewide Republican in Texas anymore. They do not look like they want to learn those lessons. It. Yeah, he's he's going to be like friends with Democrats. He's going to have like no one else to hang with. But can I tell you something? The underreported plotline? Is it a secret? No. Ted Cruz can't run for president anymore. I know because if he's the nominee, Gina would put a Democrat and be a full blue state. But also like it's the biggest loser in all of this was Elon Musk. Elon moved everything to Texas thinking. He was going to get better governance there for his companies. And Gina literally, you know, maybe he will get better governance. Well, yeah, but she just came out and she was like, well, we're going to pause land sales to SpaceX with the Boca Chica State Park that they were going to sell to SpaceX. What I'm going to put a pause on and she goes, we can work with Elon, but it's going to be on our terms, not his. And it's a new day for Elon Musk. He's lost hundreds of billions of dollars in market cap in his companies, his cyber truck businesses completely out of operation at this point. And he just lost four hundred plus million dollars, burned it on fire, literally. So bad, bad, bad times for Musk. Sad. OK, midterms are over. Trump is building. Have you noticed he's had a different like pet project each day? He's like ballroom today is the arc to Trump. He's just like he looks like death. He looks like death. He does not look good lately. OK, continue. When did you find him good looking? OK. A federal judge just blocked his proposed 250 foot triumphal arch, the arc to Trump, just hours after a planning board packed packed with Trump allies approved the project. He's also turning his attention back to Iran and the possibility of unleashing a new wave of bombing. Trump says he'll soon decide whether to resume all at war, continue squeezing Iran economically or pursue a diplomatic deal. Those are a lot of options. Meanwhile, Iran is laying down conditions of its own and U.S. military commanders are preparing for the possibility. That fighting resumes. What now? I mean, I've seen on the Democratic side, like Chris Van Hollen, for instance, is out there saying that we should shut down the government if we can't get some change to what's going on with the war, basically figuring out how we can pull out of this. Do you think Trump makes it hotter because he's such a loser and this is all that he can do or. Yeah, there was even a reporting today that the Iranians were starting to hand out iodine tablets in certain areas. In the air and nuclear facilities in the preparation of possible bombing. And so all signs point. We have another, I think, the third aircraft carrier in the region now or soon to be all signs point to hostilities restarting. I don't know what that would look like and how long it would take and how fierce the strikes would be. Listen, I think Chris Van Hollen has a very reasonable point. I think that right now, at least listen, over the next two months, Democrats don't have a ton of power to shut things down. But when they take over. They will have a ton of power because ultimately decide whether money is flowing to the Pentagon or not. I did speak with Congressman Adam Smith, who leads who's going to lead our armed services on the on the House side. And he's like, he's super progressive. He told me it's a delicate balance because, yes, shutting down the government can put Trump's feet to the fire. But then at the same time, a 21 year old service member is not going to get the paycheck. And so you have you have to balance how you do it. And so it's going to be a tightrope that Democrats are going to have to walk. And when they take power. Agreed. And would just add, though, of the bevy of messages that were sent to this new crop of electeds, one of the ones that voters were screaming the loudest was get us out of this war. And I think that there will be a lot of support for really taking really tough tactics and potentially inflicting some harm on folks to be able to get there. I'm not saying I want, you know. A 21 year old service member not to get their paycheck. But it was, you know, shouting from the rooftops. And that was one of the things that made Republicans cross over. You know, they didn't like wake up one day and just say, like, I'm obsessed with James Tallarico. Right. Yeah. That took a year, 14 months for them to become obsessed with him. But the war was obviously a big force in that. We had a great day with the market right after the election. And then things got ugly. Wall Street on a roller coaster. The Nasdaq plunged more than 5 percent Thursday. As investors worried, Democrats would crack down on AI and data centers before it rebounded slightly on Friday. This Friday. This morning. But Trump's reaction was classic blame shifting after taking credit for Wednesday's market rally. On Thursday, he blamed voters for the crash, telling them they had only themselves to blame for electing Democrats. Meanwhile, we had a good jobs report come out today, adding 165,000 new jobs in October. What say you to all of this? What says to me is that it's all out of the president's hands. It doesn't matter. Good jobs report. It's not the president. Like, the president's not getting any credit anymore. He's done. He's done. He gets no credit for anything. And that's kind of the position of a lot of Americans right now. Him putting the blame on Americans for the stock market falling. It's pure. It's after an election. I mean, like, there's a lot of turbulence. The market doesn't like turbulence right now. And so the market's going to correct itself. I'm not. I'm totally fine with it. And at the end of the day, he's the president of the United States. Democrats are not a majority right now. So any stock market is his. It's his stock market. And it's performing well. It's his. When it's performing poorly, it's also his. And so the stock market falling is is his. It's not the voters fault. And so what do you think about this concern over the data center issue? Because this is a real issue. So there were 44 ballot initiatives relating to moratoriums on data centers. It passed in all but one instance. It was North Dakota. One I didn't get through. And I mean, we know and you could listen to Democratic governors like Josh Shapiro or Abigail Spanberger. Virginia has the most data centers of any state in America that we are going to fall behind in the AI race. And economically, if we don't have data centers here, like China is not slowing down. We have data centers. Jess, we have data centers. We have so many data centers. So you think a moratorium is completely fine from this point? I think a moratorium is fine until you figure out until you figure out how to root out the bad actors. I think we are in a position right now where we have more than enough. We do. And especially in places like Virginia. And this moratorium is not covering everywhere. Virginia is still going to be building their data centers. No, no, I know. But we are at a place right now where it's getting out of hand. And the only way to kind of scale it back a little bit and to make sure that bad actors are not continuing to act poorly is to say, OK, let's pause. Let's level set. Let's put in some regulation. Let's do it quickly. And then let's continue building where necessary. I think there was a report today that came out. That came out that Doug Burgum, the interior secretary, is setting aside massive amounts of federal land to build data centers. And at the same time is profiting off of this personally. Like that is a bad actor right there. And it's a situation that should not exist. And so I think the voters are making clear it. I spoke to Raskin yesterday who said that affordability and this data center issue and corruption and accountability, it's all one issue because the billionaires and the wealthy are making money off of the average everyday. American, they're getting wealthier. Americans are suffering. And so it's corruption because they're they're they're acting corrupt and it's affordability because they're pocketing money and the American people are not. And so, yes, moratorium until we figure out a solution. Well, I mean, voters said the same thing. We'll see. I hope people move fast on this. I'm glad to see some folks like Mark Marner coming into, you know, leadership of committees, people who actually, you know, understand both sides of this, like the benefits of slowing down, but also the importance of making sure that we push forward.

got deep tech to change the weather our big vision is to make it rain and snow on demand what if you wanted to not make it rain somewhere else like one day we're just like screw arizona and dairy i never imagined my life journey would be milk season 16 of the pitch is out now listen wherever you get your podcasts this season is presented by engine you're listening to a quick ad you know what else is quick selling your car on carvana just put in your vehicle information and we'll give you an offer done no hassle no negotiation no guy from an online listing low-balling you which means by the time i'm done explaining this you could have basically done it still haven't started hey better late than never sell your car today on carvana pickup fees may apply 2028 on everyone's mind now it was you know officially the first day on november 4th uh several potential presidential contenders are beginning to distance so distance themselves from the administration we already talked about jd vance's um long twitter note uh which was pretty embarrassing i love seeing kimberly strassel take him apart um few are willing to directly take on trump but mike pence if only mike pence has the courage uh he's back in the mix with the wall street journal op-ed uh going after trump over spending and tariffs handling of the war in iran he says that we need an end of economic populism on the right and i was in indiana actually last night for a speaking engagement and was talking about this op-ed and the idea that either side is going to be moving away from economic populism if there were one of the major takeaways from this election is economic populism animates absolutely everyone no matter who how you vote in this country um do you think mike pence thinks there's a future for him in any of this or he's just trying to be part of a rebirth of a traditional republican party i think the only person who has a legitimate shot outside of jd vance or marco rubio being the nominee is desantis um that's the only person who i could see especially given the fact that he's just coming out swinging and dropping he dropping truth bombs on truth bombs and he is right i give him credit to this one point he's a republican governor and he bucked the democratic tsunami barely but he's the only one he's the only one and and and it's a lot of it is in part due to him and like because floridians do like him um and like some of the things he's done i'm not saying he's a good governor i'm just saying that he's governed whatever he's popular so this it's it's a three-person race it's really a two-person race and i i if i do if i was a betting man it's going to be marco rubio i mean i don't want to bet yet i just want to live in my blue tsunami for longer um but i know they've got to figure out their get their house in order um let's talk more about democrats i want to talk about me um they rode voter frustration over the cost of major victories in the midterms now comes the hard part we have to actually make things cheaper we have to govern uh nithya ramen with a big win and the la mayor's race two of the country's largest cities now new york and la are led by democratic socialists how do you think that we should approach from a policy perspective these you know first few weeks there what should be top of the agenda items are you cities or in congress um well the city is i i don't think we control i mean mom donnie's just mom donnie right he's one of the most popular politicians in the country and nithya will be too they really helped each other i will say that is a mutually beneficial relationship with kathy huckle and mom donnie have going on and they also seem to like genuinely enjoy each other now what's there not to like what's there not to like i would i would enjoy myself with kathy and mom donnie drinking a beer even though i don't drink um we do not drink at all yeah i don't i don't it's not for me oh it's so for me okay anyway all right so uh agenda then dc wise agenda okay you got to walk and chew gum at the same time you got to be investigation heavy as heavy as possible launch the largest investigatory scheme that congress has ever done in american history target everyone with the last name trump target everyone with the last name musk anyone associated with the federal government from junior staff all the way up to top trump officials get to subpoena haul them up to congress lay out the record and deliver this giant binder this giant record to a future democratic attorney general and say go forth and prosecute that's what you do on one end on the other end you go and pass a massive agenda you have a mandate democratic leadership has a mandate right now on the senate side you think about abolishing the filibuster you go and you pass pass pass and you lay out the agenda we can get it anyway i think you get anywhere there is going to be hesitancy for that you're definitely going to have a few republican senators that are going to want to play ball depending on especially when you look at the 2028 map yeah which is a misery for republicans like was our bad year and we turned it into our best year since what 1974 2028 for republicans awful they have no pickup opportunities and they are defending in some of the purpliest places yeah for sure but we need i mean like democrats need an agenda and the agenda has to be you have to raise the minimum wage at least 15 right like that has to be a bill on day one on and it's and the agenda can't just be we're going to roll back tariffs or we're going to try to do a war powers resolution to limit iran that's not an agenda it has to be a forward thinking thinking agenda universal child care that's what the voters want uh some type of a nationwide health care coverage making the affordable care act better or medicare for all whatever whatever is palatable to medicare for whoever wants it whatever you want to call it pass that agenda and go line by line um ending stock trading for members of congress and the ethics packages right like do that boom boom boom veto it i guarantee you he's not going to veto all of it he's going to look at it and be like stock trading ban i think that's pretty popular like why not let's just do it like well does he know how much money he's making from stock trading no but he's going to say it's in a blind trust i'm not controlling it he's going to try to find a loophole i get it but like they're gonna he's gonna and he's gonna try to sign some things and take them as wins well i think also how these articles and i'm not saying they're leaked out like the reporters were sitting on them but like you know people start wagging their mouths a lot more when they're in a bad place and did you see the wall street journal piece about how melania had talked to him about stephen miller's overreach when she was like some of my friends are being deported and trump was like stephen what are you doing here so i do think there is opportunity i'm not saying for like comprehensive immigration reform right out of the gate but like to get him on things where the like liberal-minded new yorker type in him understands that this is actually very normie policy or to say your legacy is going to be so in the shitter if you don't do something to bring your base back around and that has to do obviously cost of living health care i think restoring the medicaid cuts has to be a day one i think restoring the aca subsidies and then you need smart reforms to obamacare moving towards a medicare for all or medicare for those that want it system um but i think when he is vulnerable and you know wanting to go to the ballroom with you like that's when you slip it in right and you just say like let's do some affordable housing together like put that hard hat to work and like if you i don't know did you see palm beach airports already taking back a djt they're like maybe we shouldn't be doing that wait really well i saw that they were like talking i don't think it's like ripped down that that'd be hilarious is that like breaking news or maybe i hallucinated it i have been having like liberal hallucinations um all through my flight back from indiana this morning um you were in indiana yeah i just said that at mike pett i just do you listen to me we're on a show together you don't listen to me yeah okay um i really like that uh gina and yohosa appointed a republican already uh who lost his seat but had gone against uh greg abbott about school vouchers we haven't talked about how much of a factor school choice and education was in the texas race um but texas dems are wasting no time using their power or attorney general-elect nathan johnson says he'll end ken paxton's practice of suing out-of-state doctors who prescribe abortion pills major shift in how the state enforces its near total abortion ban democrats also looking to unwind years of republican culture war policies and education from restrictions on teaching race and gender in classrooms to school vouchers i am so excited about this it feels like the only good day for at least women's rights since the dobbs decision came down think, okay, fine, if you want to do it this way, we're just going to win all of the state legislatures. Yeah. I mean, state legislatures across the country, trifectas everywhere. I mean, it's insane. I know. Trifecta, trifecta, trifecta, trifecta. Arizona is like a blue state now. Yeah. I mean, it's just, I mean, Texas is a blue state. Texas is a blue state. With a Ted Cruz sticking up in the middle of it. But yeah. And I'm sure he'll be next. Oh my God. Okay. If he keeps messing around. Wait, we only have like one more. What do you want to do? You want to talk Newsom, Democratic leadership or- the Compact, the Electoral College National Popular Vote Compact. Whatever you want, honestly. I could talk about all of them. Let's do Newsom quickly. So he commuted the sentences of 548 of California's death row inmates, clearly thinking about 2028. Cory Booker heading back to South Carolina, first primary state. Jim Clyburn has said that he's I think talked to six of the 2028ers already. Andy Beshear with a massive night with the Democratic Governors Association. My favorite map is where all of the Democratic governor, the new female ones, it's like lit up in pink. We're taking the pink tax and turning it around. So you think Gavin's move is a good one? I do. I mean, I personally do. I've been against death penalty for as long as I remember. He's not letting these people out. They're going to spend the rest of their lives in a state prison. So a friend texted me that and was like, oh, well, what happens if he kills again? And I'm like, he's just going to rot in a cell by himself instead of a more expensive procedure that could fail. I also think that people are freaking out about the fact that it could not work as a torture that that woman. Yeah, I understand she's a killer. I'm not saying like I'm siding with her. But I was with Trey Gowdy yesterday who was a Republican member of Congress, but he's a prosecutor before that and a prosecutor death penalty cases. And he said that most of the time it's the family that wants the death penalty, actually. He's right. So I'm curious if there'll be pushback from families on the decision. We'll have to see. I mean, maybe, maybe, but I don't know. We'll have to see. OK, we'll have to see. Should we do questions? Sure, let's do questions. OK. And H628 asks, seeing both Dem wings claiming this is their victory, who actually won, the moderates or the progressives? The Democrats. Everyone won. And that's what I said from the beginning. It didn't matter if you were a socialist, a leftist, or whatever you want to label yourself, you won. As long as you had a D next to your name, you won. And that's why you had even people who were literally no longer even running winning in the state. Like the guy who pulled out like two months ago. Correct. And that is a takeaway. OK, I will add to that, that there is data that speaks to the level, the size of the win, depending on which wing of the party you were in. And notably, because I'm a Jared Golden truther, look what happened in Maine. You know, the guy who was going to Dunlap, Dunlap, Dunlap, who was going to challenge Jared Golden for that seat. And so Golden just retired and Schumer had wanted him to run for Maine Senate. He didn't want to do that. He was like, I'm done with all of this. Anyway, it was the only seat that flipped to Republicans and Paula Page won. So that was, a blight on the record of the lefties, to say the least. But margins-wise, moderates overperformed, more progressives. The terrain was tougher in some circumstances, putting aside like the DSA candidates on the House side, because they were running in districts that Kamala won by like 65 points. Anyway, I will, I could go down a big rabbit hole on this with you, Anne, if you want to talk about it later. OK, Alec Schombach asks, does the GOP continue the culture war tactics in 2020? 2028? Yes, they can't help themselves. Yeah, 100%. It's crazy. 100%, it's coming. It's like, you can't, they can't even look at the ballot initiatives about like, you know, transgender people in sports and just be like, OK, people can hold two thoughts in their minds, right?
