Rough Transcript:
(00:00) People are talking about a blue wave. They're talking about a blue tsunami. But I'm here to tell you that what Democrats did in the 2026 elections was even bigger and more historic than you could possibly imagine. Why do I say that? Because get this, this Democratic win was a once in a 28-year event.
(00:22) Why do I say that? Because, get this, this is the first time in the 21st century that Democrats won Senate seats in any of these states. Kansas, they hadn't won since 1932. How about Mississippi? They are currently Scott Colom currently leading in a state that Democrats haven't captured since 1982 in John Stennis. South Carolina, that's our once in 28-year event.
(00:46) They haven't won there since 1998 in Fritz Hollings and of course in Texas where James Talerico became the first Democrat to win a Senate seat since 1988 and Lloyd Benson. You know what also happened in 1998? Well, I'll tell you what happened in 1998. this one in 28-year event. Get this. Seinfeld went adios amigos. Goodbye. See you later. The gang of four decided to get off the air back in 1998.
(01:14) And Google, which basically took this and made it into a nata, a landline. Google was first founded in 1998. Now, if you think this is big, and it truly is historic in terms of Democrats winning in any of those southern Senate seats, it's actually bigger than you could possibly imagine. I mean, look at this.
(01:33) Actually, this Democratic win is a once-in-a-52-year event. We haven't seen anything like it in 52 years. Why do I say that? Because, get this. Guess where the House vote currently is. You got to go all the way back to the days of Watergate. The Democrats are currently leading in the US House vote nationally by 14 points. That has not happened since 1974. Since 1974. Now, I know what you're saying.
(01:57) Some of you are like, "I wasn't alive in 1974." Well, you know what also happened in 1974. Look at this. The Godfather Part Two, your Oscar winning film that premiered back in 1974. and Henry Aaron hammering Babe Ruth, George Herman Ruth as the all-time home run leader.
(02:22) Hank Aaron was up there and he swung and hit that 700 and 15th home run in Atlanta, Georgia at Fulton County Stadium. Now, this would be amazing on its own, right? A once in 52-year event. But I'm here to tell you it actually get even more historic than that. Get this. This is a Democratic win that is only happening once every 68 years.
(02:48) Why do I say that? Because, get this, Democrats currently lead in enough states to flip 9 Senate seats. And that would in fact be their biggest net gain since 1958, the days of Dwight David Eisenhower, which also was the time in which the Brooklyn Dodgers waved adios amigos goodbye to the borough that is across the river from here here in Manhattan. And they moved out to Los Angeles, California, the city of angels. They moved out to LA.
(03:18) And of course, they've been there now for what feels like forever. And it really has been forever, right? It has been forever. And that's what makes this democratic wave so historic. And how about the hula hoop? The hula hoop, which was a big part of all of our childhoods. That was only invented back in 1958.
(03:40) Now, the fact that we're talking about the hula hoop, that's absolutely amazing, right? That's absolutely incredible. But it actually gets more historic than that. It gets more historic than that. What we're actually talking about here is a 1 in 78-year event. A 1 in 78-year event. That's what we're talking about. We are talking about something that happens only once in 78 years.
(04:07) Why do I say that? Because for the first time since 1948, Democrats are likely to flip 42 House seats, at least 42 House seats, and flip the chamber at the exact same time. So, they came into the 2026 election holding no power in the House. And now, not only are they going to have power in the House, but they're going to have a slew of power in the House. It's like they went from having snake eye to now holding the six and rolling it down the aisle.
(04:31) That's what we're talking about now. I was not alive back in 1948. I know. I know I come across as an elderly man, but I wasn't alive back then. So, I had to look it up, back in 1948. You know what was also happening? The Polaroid camera. The Polaroid camera premiered in 1948. Boy, that is a fun looking Polaroid camera, let me tell you. And you know what also premiered in 1948? NASCAR.
(04:56) NASCAR, which is now, of course, such a cultural phenomenon that only premiered back in 1948. Now, I know what you're thinking. I know what you're thinking. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's how far back in the record books we could go. But you know what? We can go back even further. This Democratic wave was even bigger.
(05:18) I mean, this is one that really is, in my mind, number one for Democrats. Number one for Democrats, that's what we're talking about. A nice big one as I fold the thumb behind me. Number one. And why do I say that? Because you know what? Actually, the last time that this has happened for Democrats is never. It's never happened before. Never ever ever ever happened before, at least since senators were popularly elected.
(05:40) Because get this, this looks to be the first time since senators were at least popularly elected in which a party won not one, not two, not three, not four, but five Senate seats that the other party had won in at least the last 10 prior presidential elections. Of course, we're talking about Alaska, where Mary Petola currently holds a lead. We're talking about South Carolina and Annie Andrews.
(06:04) We are talking about Texas and James Talerico. We are talking about Kansas and Adam Hamilton. And of course, we are talking about Mississippi and Scott Colom. And you know what? That's not the only thing that's never happened before. At least in terms of the United States Senate. This is the first time ever in the United States Senate that Democrats carried Kansas and Maine in the exact same year. It's never happened. It's never happened. It's never happened at all.
(06:34) I mean, these numbers are just downright scary, scary, scary for Republicans. That's what we're talking about here. And you know what? I can't actually put a never, a never on the screen. But of course, senators, the first big election which senators were popularly elected across the nation was 1914. And you know what also happened in 1914? That was when World War I started.
(06:58) It was when World War I started. And it is when we really started seeing the implementation of the 8-hour workday which of course 9 to 5 as Dolly Pardon liked to say; this is when it actually got started with Henry Ford all the way over in the great state of Michigan. Now this would be a lot. It's a lot I tell you this, but I am always a fan of bonus time. It's bonus time.
(07:26) It's bonus time for you and me coming together. D boom. Because we've hit the House and we've hit the Senate. But you know what? We haven't gotten cool. We haven't gotten cool and down with the grooves. We haven't gotten cooling down with the grooves because you know what? We're talking Bill Clinton. We're talking playing the saxophone back in 1992 with Arsenio Hall. That's what we're talking about here.
(07:50) And you know what? When it comes to governors, Democrats look likely to pick up and hold pick up or hold ergo control or leading in 30, 30 governorships. 30 governorships and that would be the most after an election since 1992. And of course, Bill Clinton was elected president for the first time. Now, 1992, there are some people currently on this newsroom who are not alive back in 1992.
(08:18) So, you know what I always like to say? I always like to say, you know what? I'm a cool cat. I'm a cool cat. I'm going to make sure I'm going to make sure that those cool cats know what was going on back in 1992. You know what's going back on in 1992? The dream team. It takes a team to make a dream. That's what we're talking about. And of course, the US Olympics.
(08:37) Look, it's Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson. And of course, Silence of the Lambs. Silence of the Lambs, of course, won the Oscar back in 1992. You know what? I think in that movie I prefer Jodie Foster to Anthony Hopkins because, you know, I'm always a fan of the good guys in the films. I'm a fan of the good guys in the films. So, the bottom line is this.
(08:59) This Democratic wave was one that was truly one in which Democrats pointed to the bleachers, took their shot, hit that home run, and the Republican party, well, they ended up being a giant turkey. All right.
Forget the U.S. midterms.
It’s another election that has dominated diplomats’ attention at this year’s COP:
The world’s climate faithful have eyes only for newly reelected Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.

O cara é tão sem vergonha que quer desconsiderar o princípio jurídico mais antigo e mais hegemônico que tem no mundo "o fruto da árvore proibida"
Um fdp bandido ..
@profsosa13 Sabe quantas alas tem dentro do partido, camarada?
18
Cada uma tem seu guru .. infelizmente o PT tem sérios problemas .. estamos tentando enfrentar mas é difícil
@profsosa13 Para eles QQ manifestação é pra tirar alguém
São limitados companheiro, não entendem que movimento social tem objetivo principal de corrigir os erros do governo .. limitados pro caralho
@carvalho_harlen Essa não é a Fátima de tubarão .. e mesmo assim dar cagada em patrimônio tombado é crime .. ué .. a gente vai deixar os velhos cometer crimes ao pq são velhos?
@OtoniDepFederal Então, a extrema e ultra direita brasileira, nos passos da oligarquia da República velha, não gostam de pensamento crítico
Querem sempre cidadão com certificado de burro como disse Bolsonaro .. só servem para votar ..
Nós Brasileiros somos acostumados a isso: Quando Ruth Cardoso faleceu, #Lula era presidente. Ele foi ao velório em São Paulo abraçar #FHC e levou a camareira do Palácio que serviu a ex-primeira dama para a última homenagem. Eles eram adversários. Quando #Alckimin perdeu o filho, #Dilma era presidente.
Os dois tinham disputado uma eleição acirrada.
Ela compareceu ao velório. Quando dona Marisa estava em coma, FHC foi ao hospital abraçar Lula. Assim se fazia política no Brasil. Havia disputa, polarização mas o respeito abraçava as divergências. Bons tempos.
