We don't have any of the late returns yet.
We're trying to get caught up on the networks that have not been running up to date.
We're not getting actual returns.
Well, we don't care about that.
California yet.
The networks are projecting California to make some.
But all they have to return is 2% of the proceeds.
They're rejecting California, the one that sent out out of Minnesota on the day, which here now with the returns, only 7% of the precincts, you're behind 61 to 64,000.
But how are they rejecting them?
They haven't.
They've said, you know, California.
The only thing they've given them are the masks.
It's like a situation on Providence that finally finished.
Yeah, it's very close.
As a projection, it is.
It projected to Rhode Island at 1.49.
And, uh, right above, then CBS went to 55.
I don't know how they're going to get to 55, but with 84% in it, it's 165.
Do we have anybody who would call if we got an inspector?
Yeah, we should show them.
We'll find out.
Get calls to Rhode Island, find out if the fine line was there, and so that...
I don't know what CDF.
Which way?
That's the protection.
That doesn't mean you don't have any protection on yourself.
Okay, get a call from yourself.
Andrew, this is Edward Adams.
Uh... What's that word?
What do you mean I'm a Santa?
What is it?
Why are you not a Santa?
Well, I know that.
I know that, I have that.
They're still not projecting.
I, it's 7-0.
6-0.
With what person?
Um, well, putting calls there too.
Check both of those.
Which ones do they have now that you're checking?
The Rhode Island finished or not finished?
It's finished as far as water service is concerned.
It's projected as the winner for us, but we know that the wire tickled on that, that they showed us 165 and 51 with 84% in, so it's done.
Prediction.
Yeah, the wire.
But it's still a possibility.
No, no, no, I'm sorry.
Not go down.
Go down.
I'm just big for Jeremy to tell.
Which one is the question called?
Delaware.
Delaware is still the same place.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Hello?
I just want to thank you for that great job, Frank.
By God, you came through and you served you well.
Very well, thank you.
We're sure glad to have, you know, just to thank Frank to carry Pennsylvania by that kind of a margin.
Sir Rick.
They can't fight, huh?
Great, great, great.
Yeah.
Great.
It looks like about the present time all we've lost is Massachusetts.
Too many colleges, I guess.
Yeah.
Well, I'll tell you, when I was speaking tonight, I was thinking of you and all those people that came through and counted.
But I'll tell you, we're proud of you, and we're going to try to do a good job for you.
And, uh, just one of these days, I'll get my bus director, we'll sit down, put our feet up, and talk to you live to each other.
Yeah, yeah.
What do you think of Guthrie?
Yeah?
Yeah.
The way he talks?
Yeah.
Nothing, I don't...
He's going to be on his turn.
And then our Democrats, one of them, caught us.
This is our caller.
It's the one other one.
He called just before he went on the air and said he was very
But what the hell is the matter with Minnesota?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Well, aren't people ashamed?
No, Christ, you must have somebody who has some idea about it.
Wisconsin is finished over.
Yeah.
But Boggs has still got a chance.
Or has he a chance?
Boggs has a chance.
He's behind with, uh, 90%, 92% of the votes, and he's behind by 500 votes.
Yeah.
But did they still give him a chance?
92%?
Yeah.
105, 409, 110.
I'm writing how those votes are.
Yeah, will they have anything, any other Senate races to protect?
Okay, it's Margaret now, but she gets lost.
Sure lost?
No, it's not protected.
That's a point.
But I heard the earlier, they're protected, but that's something.
And Miller, they're also protected, he's lost.
And Miller, I think, is for sure, 50% in, 70% out.
You can't be sure of that in Iowa.
It's a strange state.
But it's, uh, the blues in such a goddamn state, in fact, nobody even suggested you go to see Mark when hell shouldn't want anybody.
Divinity and hell and sparkly.
You pick that up, which is great.
Thank God that, uh,
But Minnesota, we just haven't gotten a return.
Are there any other states like that moving around out there?
No, he fell last week, I think.
We don't care about the last week.
Why?
I don't know why it didn't happen.
It's still very low in Utah and places like that.
Utah?
No problem.
I mean, it's low, and none of those matter.
Oregon?
Washington State, they gave it.
I think we carried it, but what about Oregon?
Oregon didn't give it.
It's the only one that's coming along beautifully, except for Minnesota.
The only state you can doubt is Minnesota.
That's the last thing Hawaii's got.
We'll carry it, I think, both, but they don't matter.
They aren't counted as statesmen, I don't believe so.
In Minnesota, though, it would be unbelievable if we got a damn thing after that week.
Yeah, it must be.
Did a pole drop?
I think it was a pole.
Well, I don't know.
You know, they made that whole thing, because the pole was way, I know it did show a drop, but how can, you can't drop it in Minnesota that much.
Well, maybe you can, but you know, it made a difference.
Senator Humphrey.
Okay.
Hello?
Hi Nelson, how are you?
Yeah.
I just got back from the Shore Motel and they told me you called.
You know it's so hard to get through those shopping crowds and I just couldn't do it like that.
Yeah.
Well I'll tell you, you know, you did just what you said to do, Guard.
What did come out of my name, Guard?
Fifty-nine?
Isn't that something?
Fifty-nine in New York?
Huh?
Oh, gosh, yes.
That's terrific.
Ha ha!
I didn't have time.
Well, you made that.
It was actually that.
Very exciting.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
Well, I gave you credit for that, didn't I?
Ha ha ha!
Oh.
Well, where did I get you the call?
I had to wait around for the governor to make a statement.
You know, our networks were conceding at 7 o'clock.
All right.
Well, I'll tell you, it's a great thing.
The only state now that we've lost is Massachusetts.
No wonder we lost that.
We couldn't do it too well.
Oh, tell me, did you buy any chance?
What are you doing in those house rents with your notary?
Yeah.
Oh, you did?
Damn.
Well, all right, all right.
So it's that sort of wash, huh?
You pick up your voice.
Oh, yeah.
Well, that's great.
That's great.
Well, now, when I come to Florida tomorrow, I'm going to think for a week.
I mean, we've got to have a little check.
What are you going to do?
Well, you feel good, don't you?
You know, let's put it that way.
Wasn't that fellow unbelievably irresponsible the last few days, though?
But what a bad word.
Yeah.
What'd she say?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, as a matter of fact, I'm back in public, but I don't want to say anything nice about it.
But as you know, I was very careful with what everybody, all of us, we're all bought and hired and all of us put together.
You've got to be generous.
Don't you think so?
Right.
Right, okay, I got your back on all your crossovers.
Okay, get Michael, we're up and happy.
Bye.
Bye.
Okay, Minnesota, both NBC and CBS are protecting at 52% for us.
No, NBC says it's still too close.
Allen says he's gonna lose.
What are we going to answer, Bob, to these assholes that say that we are responsible for not helping them out?
You really got to get going on that because that's the line that you need to sit with tonight.
I understand.
I think the answer was a strong line the other way.
We did help them out.
Well, you could get that all out.
Yes, sir.
And our guys worked that today on the TV.
That was the whole thing.
That was what we worked up for the whole.
The whole line, the guys on the air, and they all figured out how it was done.
But you know why Allen lost?
Because he's a mess.
That's exactly why he lost.
Allen lost because he should have lost.
Bob's lost because he should have lost.
I mean, he's a nice guy, but he shouldn't be running for re-election.
Margaret lost because she should have lost.
Because he's a jackass.
And Hirsch lost because he's an absolute clock.
But there's some we could pick up.
West Powell still?
No.
The last one.
Where is it?
Look closer here.
There's a man.
You can check out there and see if they've got an injury.
And you can have a check on that.
They show, in regards to the 52% behind 9,047.56.
And one of the parts of us that they show is that it's bigger than that.
Curtis is the one down there in the chip.
But Curtis is 73 years old, and he's acting in love, and he's just been acting since he was 56.
He's only got 50 years.
What did we take Nebraska for?
Nebraska?
Uh, S-L-E. Oh, shit.
Maybe I should have just gone to these states.
Maybe that's a mistake.
Well, you know, I don't know.
You can argue that maybe you should have, but certainly we went to Cheney and didn't help, and went to Nunn and didn't help.
That's right.
I think North Carolina we probably got in.
You probably did.
He came on and he said that the reason he won was because of the President's strength and his association with the President and Scott's at the same time.
Scott said the reason I won is because I made it clear to the President that I supported the President.
The matter should have been resolved.
What time did it happen?
What's the situation in California?
It's 1.20, so it's 10.20 in California.
Yeah, because I'm a bright young child, if you get a call, I'll figure it out in California or else.
Okay.
All the wire size people are saying they must have one and a half, and that's 58 ounces.
I can give you the ounces and I can give you some of that.
Yes, sir.
Are they all protected?
No, they're not.
Oh, we're going to wait and see.
What can you predict?
On what number?
What's NBC's projection?
What's CPS's projection?
Both NBC and CPS projections are going to be better now.
I don't think that's what it is, because that's what the vote is.
I will lay money to put it better, because I don't know what those are their projections.
We couldn't have followed up enough after all the work we had so hard out there.
They've got to do better than that in California.
Turnout was low.
In California?
Across the nation.
But the turnout was 74 or 75 million, so all those projections up there were wrong.
It was a high erosion area.
Now what happened is there was a lot of backup in California.
They were going to keep the poles open and move in because things were bogged down.
And then they just, they went into a constitutional crisis and they decided to close it in.
So we didn't get our 50-meter posts done.
No.
And it's all over in the end.
Nobody, you know, just, you know, columnists are right for you, boy.
You get more than that.
Because...
If you can't tell about your motor turnout right now, you're making too much noise.
I'll let you line it up on the forward turnout, but can we report a forward, forward turnout?
I'm good.
I'm just talking about the actual turnout.
Now, who do you get that networks the network and their own analysis?
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Do you want to send the governor a telegram?
That's your call.
He's sending pretty good.
He said, congratulations on your victory.
I hope that in the next four years you will lead us to a time of peace and God's justice.
And I have to add, I'm full support in such efforts to investigate this now.
He said, I mean, he sure as hell didn't say that in his statement.
Or some hard people were too unsophisticated to see how dirty it was.
And he was very careful in his statement.
Careful?
God, man.
He was saying in effect that he would not support, that's right, what he didn't, what we don't believe in.
Well, unless they were policies that we don't believe in that.
What they drafted was, thank you for your congratulations and best wishes during these next four years.
I look forward to working with you and those who supported the fellowship.
That's a great price, isn't it?
No, I'll get it done.
I thank you for your best wishes.
After a long, after I know what must have been a very long
Arduous campaign.
I hope that you and Mr. McGarrett now enjoy your well-deserved rest.
I'll just put it that way.
Christ doesn't know his past from first days of his life.
Nothing.
Believe me.
He hasn't said this about it.
Did that happen to Christ in his last speeches?
Did you see the materials that Christ sent in?
Or, for instance, I was supposed to go out and tell these people about this.
I was supposed to go out and say,
You cannot act, really.
You cannot act because the people are for you and they're not for you.
This is not just a generous thing.
That's all it should be.
Thank you for your congratulations, Professor.
He said hi.
No, I very much appreciate it.
I have very much appreciated your wire, period.
I know I wish to...
I know after what has been a long, arduous campaign,
Uh, I hope that you are willing to listen to him.
So, uh, have the option if you're going to do it unless you need to do it.
Thank you.
That's the way I put it.
No reason to talk about it.
He is an awkward support.
I'm not going to say anything about peace and all that bullshit.
But just say to him,
I can't say working with you.
I said that in my remarks.
Ray is so soft.
He wants to get along with everybody.
He loves everybody.
He can't do it.
I appreciate you for that.
No, I'll put it this way.
After what I know must have been a long, hard loose campaign, you have my very best wishes for the years ahead.
I just put it out that way.
I don't send it by price if you repay me.
I know that's the right line.
What about Sam?
What do you want to go to?
What's your, what's your, what's your regrets?
Do you have my very best wishes for the years ahead?
No, my close people aren't.
Okay.
I don't.
Uh, I've got the rest.
I've got the rest.
Long and rancid campaign.
Yeah.
Do I miss my government and my very best wishes?
Well, Henry, how are you?
Well, we all knew it was going to happen.
We, uh, we got, we got our, uh, we got our 60%.
Every state except Massachusetts and maybe Minnesota.
You know, this, uh, this fellow is a laugh.
He's a very gracious man.
You know.
And Ray Price had sent me a wire saying that I look forward to working with two of your supporters to beat Andrew's head.
And I said, hell no, I'm not going to send him back over the line.
Don't you agree?
And I started to worry about him, and I said, Ray, this doesn't have the right sense of the story.
And you'll probably know I responded in a very decent way to him.
far as I can go, but I'm not going to say much about that.
But anyway, it was a good day.
We had a terrible time in the Nant Senate.
We're going to end up with probably 44, but we're going to end up there.
We probably lost Margaret Smith, but she's 74 years old.
We lost Jack Miller because he was a jackass.
We lost Caleb Fox because he's too old.
He's 68.
See, there's your problem.
Yeah, well, sorry.
We work with them.
Well, you know, I think it's hard for me to leave with all these left-wing cops.
I hope the party in the state doesn't care less about that.
The main thing is that they know that we are going to think about their candidate and keep the hell out of it.
I want you to make sure you feel that.
Well, anyway, have a good night's sleep.
Sir.
Let me see that one.
Yeah.
Hello.
Hello.
Hello.
Hi, how are you?
Well, thank you very much.
Well, you've been a very, uh, state-of-the-art man, as I always, uh, enjoy to say.
And, uh, you've been a friend, so, you know, that's been very private of you.
Very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very,
put the country first, and I said this time.
I said we have a problem.
We're going to call Senator McDowell.
We heard private information.
I said for three days.
As you probably guessed.
Right.
.
.
.
.
.
.
That's right.
Well, we'll get together and we'll work for the good of the country.
That's the important thing.
Well, I'm so glad to get a call.
How are you feeling?
Yeah.
Isn't that great?
Well, we didn't run into a man yesterday that gave me any trouble.
Yeah.
Right.
It's so great.
You say, what's the, are you in a Minnesota mountain?
Yes.
How is it coming out?
I don't, I don't think they're very close.
Uh, do you think, how do you project it?
Well, we've never been to a Minnesota mountain closer.
That's right, technically you've come out.
You've heard us, you see.
But we didn't beat you this time, like 60, so I won't hold it against you.
Okay.
But you think we'll win it?
You think we'll win it at the moment, period?
Yeah.
Okay.
I'll hold you to that.
Anything else in the picture, I'm going to make you pay.
It doesn't make it so hard to handle with those roaring crowds.
Well, I bid for this, and I meant it with my heart.
But anyway, we'll do some good things for this country in the next year or two.
And just remember, whenever you think you're gonna, you're checking yourself off, read about Churchill.
I was reading about him.
He had a theater of domestic goals.
You know, when he was 68, he became American.
I mean, really, he was 68.
So what the hell do you still, you're still at the intersection.
Okay.
Well, thank you for making such a statement.
I wouldn't bet that that number of votes would be 75 million.
I don't trust the computer outfit anyway, because I think they'd be inaccurate most of the time.
I think what we're going after is the CPS projection.
All right.
CPS will preserve the projection level.
The lower the projection, the higher the .
It's not our fault, is it?
Now, how do you mind if I do this?
After what they know, it's been a very long time.
I can't go through.
No, I think it's good.
Okay.
Or wait, no, we don't have.
Do you need something more than just saying I owe goodness to the governor, that I owe well-deserved rest?
I'd have to answer that.
My very best wishes for the year to come.
And Pat joins me in saying- No, not Pat.
Okay.
We don't know Pat is here.
It doesn't make a damn bit of difference.
Don't put that in there.
Do we have a harder well, a harder position for this?
God damn no.
This business that after they have done all this,
And he just turned and he says, stop.
Good God, I had a long, hard procedure today.
I had to bring him up again on the Washington Post and Life magazine and the rest of that stuff.
Rob, it's all done.
He understands it now.
Okay.
Do you have any questions on the book?
No.
Well, I had a question on what?
No.
No question on the book?
No question.
Anyway, that's good.
fire off that wire, you'll be set for a win in the summer.
But you're getting in a city that right now says you'll win by $50,000 to $70,000.
What do you bet?
Well, that's fine if somebody gets there.
That hasn't been very long.
Huh?
Well, that's other people sitting around.
Could we get somebody that we know out there?
Do we have a chairman or something like that?
Yeah.
Somebody like Peter?
We're not on the zone, everybody.
We're not on the zone.
We're not?
Yeah.
Good.
Goddamn.
I think it was Humphrey.
All right.
Find out.
I don't know what the hell is happening in Minnesota.
Find out from some bright person there, not here.
They don't know.
What?
They say we won't know for sure until late.
Late.
Not even early in the morning.
They're always like, what's the California report?
What's the California report?
All right, yeah.
Well, anyway, so all the wetting was pretty good tonight.
Pretty good night, brother.
I don't think it is.
It's funny the fact that in the first couple
What do you think of a marriage concession stake on the island?
I don't know.
That means, uh, that that includes, uh, spending people's money, because that's the easiest thing to do.
I told you.
I vote myself, Manolo for president, and Tina for vice president.
But like I mentioned, the mission, sir, is very bad.
Ah, very bad.
Yes, sir.
Okay.
But anyway, actually, the whole situation, uh, the whole situation, only a few people, some people would understand this, but that was heavy enough.
vicious concession statement.
Probably the worst ever made in our history.
Did you see him, sir?
Did you see him, sir?
Rob messed it up.
No, no, he thought it was reservations.
Oh, no.
No, he lit it.
He set it up.
It's wired.
It's definitely...
It's, uh...
You know, it's only a time to grasp it.
We did it.
We're careful.
Is that piece of wood?
Oh, it's a piece of wood.
Before I got, before I went over there, my kids were really, when I didn't, I didn't object to that.
They didn't want me to just recognize it.
So forth and so on.
And I didn't.
I hope that in the next four years, you will use the piece of wood.
Yes.
Yeah.
But I know it is.
That's why I took a very hard line, and my remarks were not easy.
I said, I had people who were working for the campaign and all the rest of it.
I didn't say a goddamn word about it.
I didn't mean it as well.
I just purchased the guy.
He did not deserve it for the kind of campaign he was.
And they thought it was right, and although it was a terrible thing, and they asked away for it, God didn't know what the hell to do with it.
So they had to wait until when that works.
That was the problem.
It's not his fault.
Nobody knew what to do.
We didn't know when that fuse was going to be on.
It was never going to be on.
You never know.
I told California or the other police.
Someone said they had to go to that one.
So they had to go to that one.
So they had to go to that one.
I wasn't preaching.
I wasn't preaching.
It wasn't part of that.
But one of the nights in the program, it broke right in the middle of the program.
We handled it so well that it was never going to be ready.
What I was going to say is this, that I thought that if I was doing it this way, it would turn out right.
Because if you go over there and record that, Howard's mom was one of the people.
Jesus Christ, you can't take it.
Four more years and it's been a goddamn thing.
And it's just the right thing to do.
The first thing I need to think about is that, you know, there's a lot of people out there who should have looked at that.
They will look back, I'm sick of it, but I'll look back and say, God, that's right.
Because that's what people think of us, right?
And that's much more important to me personally than it is
You know, I opened it that way, Rob, do you notice?
I said, I want to say a few words to you personally before you go to the victory rally.
That was the very thing people are going to say, geez, that was a hell of an effort.
No one's ever done that before.
It was inspirational, it really was.
Let me ask you this, Chuck.
How the hell are we going to answer the only thing that apparently was on the network from about 11 o'clock on?
That we screwed up and lost the House and Senate because we didn't support defense.
I've got it.
I've got it.
How are we going to handle the House and Senate?
We're going to have to make it fit on.
We're going to have to simply... We've done a hell of a lot for it.
There's no way to do any more for it.
Marker didn't want us to make it.
I offered.
Patricia was willing.
She never wanted it.
She's got a 74-year-old.
I'm glad she lost.
She deserved it.
Yeah, she did.
I hate to say it, but I didn't know it for six years.
It's a lot of oppression.
Smart.
But I'm sure he gave it a lot of effort.
Just a little too old, a little too tired.
Cumberland's a sweet, wonderful guy, but a little too old, too tired.
Jack Miller is a shit.
Yeah.
Louis Nunn, chisel.
That's a tragedy.
What the hell are you thinking about?
That's the only one.
Really, this don't stack up.
Margaret Smith was way over there.
That was cool.
But how the hell do we get Jesse Holmes in there?
He didn't watch.
That's where the coaching was working.
That's where it worked.
You don't know how to do it, but you're...
But I had somebody, Scott.
I called him on the phone, and I didn't know where.
But he gave us the credit.
I didn't know.
You know, there you are.
They're on it by 70%.
I just knew it was this guy because he was...
You just said that I was the only one here that did.
Remember, Bobby Riggs had said that he was down with two.
Scott, huh?
I said, I'm not so sure.
I said, I don't think you could lose, Robert.
Virginia, where did that fart head at?
First, I thought it was saying something about Georgia.
I walked in the name of God half of the time.
Well, I don't think he had it.
I don't think he had it.
Bob?
Well, because he abused the ranking privileges, got caught at it, which in Georgia does not sit well.
None was endorsed by Wallace.
None was endorsed by Wallace, but was also called a black vote.
Who was called a black vote?
None was, none.
Yes, sir.
He made a, he made, he probably had the cruelest reach of any candidate running for any office this year.
All right.
Well, we've got a, we've got a, we've got a power and a loss today.
I think you would think.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Are we sure now that it's a South Dakota guy down?
No way.
You got all those for sure?
Are you sure?
I don't know about that projection.
Why don't you call him up, Chuck?
What do you know about him?
37.
37 is sort of the most.
40 to 23.
41, 20, 34.
What?
He had 64%.
Oh, excuse me, that's nice.
Thanks, Coach.
There were 1,800 in the park.
That's good.
You know, getting the Mark Cousins thing close to the New York show, you know, Rock Miller said that his figures in New York showed at the present time 59%, and he should have a good chance of trading in New York.
I think he's going to be 60 in New York.
I bet he's really excited.
You've got 67% in the Queens, but I don't think he's going to get any figures out of the city.
But I don't think he's going to get any figures out of the city.
Very close to the ground, seven miles from the city.
Does it deserve some credit for that long way?
I mean, that's got to prove it.
What does Pennsylvania carry, Mike?
You've got to figure out some of these.
I want to get the big states now, right down corner.
And I want somebody to make a call to California.
If you make it to an intelligent person there that knows, maybe not their projected percentage in Pennsylvania is 61.
61?
Yes, sir.
Good call.
Now, 66% of the vote in it was 59.
No, sir.
That's all agreeing.
That's all .
Don't worry.
We'll do it.
We'll do 63 and that's it.
62.
Texas, they vary.
The percentage that you're directing is 73.
I'm on 69.
Yeah, that's .
That's good.
39% of OAN is 68.
And, uh, New Jersey?
Second.
So the direction is very much 56 and then there's 62, with 65% of the vote in is 63.
Where at?
Where at?
62%.
62% in New York and 61% of the vote in.
What?
With 61% of the vote in New York and 62%.
Now we may do better than Nelson, but we're not.
Call the New York Times and get the latest on that.
Have Peter, who'd you got to call that?
Archie Woodward.
Good.
That's fun to have, you know, her rebel a little bit shocked about that.
After all these years.
Worked out, you know, worked out and made the nicest call.
But he and Nellie were sitting there with all their children.
There are a couple of nice touches.
That was very hard.
I just hate to talk to the crowd.
It is a nice little touch.
So that was the end.
That was a beautiful touch.
I was up at the shore.
My kick stopped.
David's is a very good kick.
I showed Bob at the back of the right.
He thought the stroke of genius was to do without a death, and the overalls, which was done in a hell of a hurry.
I didn't have anybody over there for it, and as I said, I was supposed to be on the desk, sat behind the desk, screwed around.
I said, forget it.
It came up, but what you said was important.
And there were two different things that came up.
I will argue very strongly that you know about the desk business, didn't you?
That wasn't really, that wasn't really wandering.
Your hands were pulled in front and they saw your hands.
They took a wide shot and they went in close and then they came back, which was very big.
You were framed by the flags, the president's flag and the guard flag.
You had your hands pulled out of the desk and you were looking right at the...
talking to me, and it was just damn good.
And I think, personally, it was much better and much more gainful for that kind of a thing and the way you were doing it on the deck than sitting on the edge.
The other night, sitting on the edge was very good because I was retired.
This was the first thing I said in his office.
You know, the God bless America thing I had written out, I was thinking of it the other night.
And I thought, well, I'll just take it for this time.
I thought it was going to be great.
I couldn't figure out how you were going to wrap that one up.
Because it's very hard to end something like that.
Boy, you could have done better.
And that's the thing.
That's a grabber.
And little old ladies, I was a little bit worried about all that flow.
But that man did, and that's wonderful.
I think it's wrong to use the Bible.
Now, Bob had this idea of doing it two ways.
As soon as they had that idea, they were perfect, because there were two, there were two totally different messages, but it was just, just right, just the right thing.
I wanted most of the audience
television audience, probably after I made my first $2 million visit.
And all that cared saw me before that raving, ranting crowd, cheering, praising the Vice President of the Army, right?
I think you may agree about it.
I think you may think, why the hell would I stay down?
Well, I mean, you get a lot to stay down, but the important thing, I'm sure everybody stayed down for that Oval Office.
You came on fast and early, and right after the governor.
uh, in contrast with Marlowe.
The thing was the, to build up all these, the, the, the chancellor, and Crockett, and Silverhead, and Crockett, and Redd, and Crockett, and Silverhead, all of a sudden, that was being one of the really, truly historic elections, because the division is a, I'm surprised, you know, I mean, they, they, they really are, and what's fun is,
that they're saying all the right things and they didn't die.
That's right.
And they look like it.
Absolutely.
I thought you were going to cry.
I thought you were going to cry.
I really did.
I thought you were going to cry.
And I thought it looked like you were going to throw up.
Maybe we could call up, you know, what are your news?
Somebody would know.
I don't know.
Who's checking it?
Peter?
Why don't you call an officer?
Call the editor of the Los Angeles Times.
You know anybody else?
Where's Ben?
I just want to know whether it's going to be 53 or 56.
I'm going to check you out.
I feel pretty good.
I didn't want him, but I knew there were so many other people there, but the civilians and Democrats were so there over there.
And I just thought I had a lot of trouble once with the other guy, and he was just
A lot of our leaders, in fact, they have a whole suite of moral values that came in from various states around the United States.
It's a very historic thing.
I think it's great.
We're going to continue to crack it.
I'm just talking about on the way back.
I said from now on, we're going to keep that labor road, right?
I mean, no later than for legislation.
We're going to work with them.
And we all, we will keep it.
You want to read that?
We're going to read that.
We're going to keep those counts.
Well, that's just your life.
When they came out and did their analysis, both NBC and CBS said that.
But how many results did they actually get?
If you just wanted to look at the blue cup, Roger, Mike Wallace came out and said it was phenomenal, the blue cup, and I said, you know what, I'm going to try it.
And I said, I'm going to try it.
And I said, I'm going to try it.
And I said, I'm going to try it.
6% for that type of edge
They're way, way behind in counting mutual funds and government.
50-50 in the Bay Area.
Not bad.
You know, I call, that's their role.
They say you've got to be careful that you don't
banking because they are way low our key precinct stuff we can't get any because they can't they don't have dollars but they're protecting 57 for california yeah that'll give us 61 for the nation they think they think we may pick up the congressional well all over the country
That's only 27.
It needs 39.
Yeah, that's a cool visit.
What did you already say?
How do you feel?
Oh, great.
But the fact that we picked up this many is pretty good.
It was a very, very...
This is an all-over.
This is an all-over.
Jerry was saying, we still got to do the marketing, Bob.
I think so.
I don't think this is it.
17 is it.
No, I don't think so.
You got to wait.
They just, they have no idea on congressional stuff.
They're having a problem, you know, what happened last month.
Well, the big story tomorrow is that assholes will be Republicans lose to nationalists.
Well, we haven't lost them yet, so it depends on Bob.
Bob's still in it.
Where's he at?
I don't think we can talk to him.
He said he's at it.
He said he's at it?
Yeah.
Let's go with him.
I can't.
And call Bob.
Wait a minute.
How do we know?
We're okay.
Okay.
The way that you should play it, Mark, is that you cannot get around the fact that I'm going to have to go to his office to be prepared to talk to him today.
He said, well, the president has dental work he has to have done to put it all in front of the election.
It's been done and done.
He's prepared.
I mean, they're so willing to, I thought.
And she went, so absolutely.
There's no problem with that.
Now, do you think we're right to vote for a worker you are not?
Sure.
That's my plan.
You oughta get the hell out of here.
I can't grow the limbs until we finish with the, uh, until the Bible gets done and I become absent and I have a hell of a knockout.
You're better off, as long as you've got something to do.
If I feel anything, I don't think it's bad just to sit around here for the rest of the month, okay?
A lot of people that I don't want to talk to, there's not a lot of them.
I'm just, I'm not worried about it, man.
I'm just so worried.
I don't think the story is going to be as it has been all night.
It's an unbelievable, not unbelievable, an unprecedented one.
That's right.
As Chancellor said, one of the most spectacular ones.
Because it comes four years after being very close.
Without all of the things that's set up, it's like an assassination, succession, and a majority party.
This is historic, because this is one of my party parties.
Don't be so weird.
That's it.
Without any help, it was like we did.
That makes it very interesting.
They don't like it, but they know they have to say it.
How about beta A?
Another thing I have, that's a little tough, but it's a pretty good line, I'd say.
I look back on all the elections and people who did it earlier tonight.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, because all of those people sat at home with us.
That's right.
Yeah, they sat at home with us.
And we got to eat with people.
And you guys are a good sponsor.
They love that, yeah.
Do you have any Wobbles?
Wobbles.
Wobbles.
Wobbles.
Wobbles.
Wobbles.
Wobbles.
Could you make a part of it?
Where was it?
The grills.
Did you make that in English?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Put it in English.
No.
That would take too long.
Get it over to the next row.
The next row.
Now it's open.
Okay.
Yes, sir.
Tell the next to stay open.
Just tell them.
Yes, sir.
Okay.
Tell them I'll delay very fast.
Yes, sir.
I'll delay.
I think the story will be the same.
You want to try...
Anyway, it's the easy way, right?
Not scramble, not scramble at all.
Friday, Friday.
And send the big dog over here.
I didn't speak funny, and I just thought that, you know, great people to do the reading.
They pulled me back some more than that.
I really didn't.
I just felt like this kind of reaffirmed the oral business.
People out there who, besides the biblical people, the hearing oral medicine care, they've got some things about the government that are so uncomfortable.
They say, we can...
Asshole.
We brought at least one hour closer than what all of us had.
32 months.
32 days ago.
All of us.
Perfectly.
Sound the address center?
East Berger?
What area?
You deserve no confession.
I ain't gonna get any.
I'm killing mine tonight.
Extraordinary.
Did you see what he did earlier?
The dumb son of a bitch was wandering into the headquarters in New York.
I should be waiting for Senator, but I just was.
in the neighborhood or something, so I dropped in.
And here he is on the network doing his speech before the governor.
No, but he was with the governor.
Oh, yes.
Now, if they cut him, Mr. President, he was here.
Yeah.
And they had him covered by the line of camera, and after they cut, they were picking up the governor, and then they cut the driver watching the governor on the phone.
They're going to start, they're coping, and they're going to explain to us, you know, that coping is there.
But, you know, he is so dressed up.
How do you know?
I want to go to a later report from Minneapolis as soon as we can.
I'll be working on that.
Thank you.
Oh, look.
Cronin B. Currie, Massachusetts.
Oh, Rick.
I need you on that cell.
Yes, sir.
Now, that's not on the bed, but that's very slow.
We've got one, and that is good.
Here we go.
You want a quick run down on the projections so they understand?
Right.
So the network projections.
Alabama, they're not projecting anything.
But, uh, 48% of the vote's saying you only have 78%.
That's not, that's not good.
I just believe, you know, I'm not going to be over 70.
Alaska's not in.
Arizona 63.
Arkansas 65.
California, they're projecting 54% of this.
That would be better.
Colorado, 67.
Connecticut, 60.
Delaware, 58.
Florida, 69.
Georgia.
Georgia, 77.
Hawaii, 58.
Hawaii, seeing as we're predicting a lot, I don't know where the other one's at.
Idaho, 66.
Illinois, 62.
Indiana, 67.
Iowa, 62.
Iowa, whatever.
Kansas, very, 163.
Indiana, 69.
Kentucky, 161.
Indiana, 65.
Louisiana, 64.
They don't have a percentage.
that does 64% of 37% of the votes.
Maryland 62, Massachusetts 46, Michigan 58, Minnesota 52, Mississippi 77, Missouri 15, Indiana 62, Montana 56, Nebraska 62, Nevada 62, and Hampshire, they don't have a
It's a projection, but it's 66 with over half of those.
68.
I'll still have to race that around.
Probably.
They're showing it for that entire.
That's fairly close.
It's 47.56.
New Jersey, one of these is 56 and the other is 62.
63 with 65% of the building.
Yeah.
New Mexico, 64.
New York, 161 and the other 59.
North Carolina, 73.
That's why .
North Dakota, 64.
Ohio, 58 or 60.
And it's with 71 on the bogey and 60.
Oklahoma's 78.
That's what I do with Oregon.
8.
Yeah.
I'll give you an 8.
Oregon's 58 on one and 55 on the other.
Pennsylvania's 67 on one and 67.
Well, 62 on the other.
Not bad.
The earlier comparison was 55, they haven't changed.
South Carolina 72, South Dakota they don't have a number.
Tennessee, one of them has 68, another 71.
Texas, one has 73, another 69.
And 68 with 39% advantage.
Utah 1 at 66, the other 75.
Vermont 70, Virginia 70, Washington 58, West Virginia 58, Wisconsin 59.
Wisconsin?
1 at 59, 1 at 56.
See, there it is.
I know that.
Well, it's 47.
Well, that's all right.
But half the vote is 52.
The other half is here.
Again, it's out of state.
versus Milwaukee.
Wyoming is 65, and the district is 31.
I want to go to the 335.
It's 37 for the last 10 minutes.
But I can break it down.
It's at 2674, and that's total.
I can't complete it.
Go ahead.
That is the United States.
That does not follow that up to less than 60%.
less than 30, it's got to be 61 or 2.
They're creating a projection.
What they're doing instead is running the total, the percentage of the total load as heavy load.
Yeah.
That's the last time I saw that.
63.
But that, they aren't running that as a projection, they're just running it as a balance.
I would think it would go up.
I don't.
It's very high and then it went down.
That's right.
You also get a whole lot of boats.
That's only 38%.
All the little mountains.
You get a whole lot of boats.
Yeah.
And then the south and all that.
You get a lot of boats that come in.
And the boats, the later boats, they are very well set up.
One of the biggest things for older than around 60.
The fascinating thing about this is the gallop market.
We went high over.
There's no building.
No noise.
Well, no noise as good as I heard.
No, that noise will change.
It's going to be blue.
Blue collar.
It's so dark.
Blue collar, yeah.
That's what's going on with the rest.
We're doing better than some people.
That's it.
The grass is only 60 feet.
Yeah.
This is 60 feet.
It would be better in the end.
That's a good one, Sal.
Yeah, that's 75.
Okay, the drug is 77.
That's a 50-77.
Wait, you have a 64?
No.
Well, you're right.
That's kind of like a drug law.
It's 64 of me, and I'm really in something, you know.
That's...
I'm rejecting him, aren't I?
69 or 70.
That's rejecting.
68 or 70.
That's 69.
It's gotta be in California by that time.
where they are with projection 57.
No, we had it at 53, 54.
In California, it was projection 57.
The network projection was on the first snap.
Now they just ran with that and quit.
Well, how was that?
What do you think?
Have we gone to Maine?
Have we done it?
I'm afraid going to Rhode Island was the wrong thing.
We may have screwed them up too much.
But I think that's possible.
They wanted us to come on it, but we didn't force them on it.
That was the whole problem.
And Rhode Island, we went by what we were supposed to.
That's not what we wanted.
18% we were in.
We were at 18%.
If you don't go by that, it was 53-35.
I would have, on that basis, left 55.
but you don't expect to think that we would know that.
We've got anywhere near half of it on the side.
What'd you say?
Go ahead, sir.
What'd you say?
What'd you say, sir?
What'd you say, sir?
What'd you say, sir?
What'd you say, sir?
Before I leave, I want to get something I know.
All right, so everyone had a game before going out.
Really?
I don't know, I think for a while.
They don't think they'll have to.
I'm sure they're going to mark the dogs.
Oh, let's celebrate.
God didn't show everybody the truth of God.
And California's also the eastern network that knows all dumb.
When the campaign started out, everybody wanted to win.
But it was static, and we could win pretty much.
And now the darkening of the story winds up.
I imagine the narrative's over.
I was going to have you take the letter, but I'm sure I'm not going to.
New York and I'll be less than 60 feet away.
We're going after the rock.
I'm sorry.
Okay.
We've got the QR 7 passcode.
The city right now with 79% of the voting, the governor has 31%, but there's still 200 precincts
And the boroughs, Manhattan with 62% of the vote were down 102,000.
Queens with 75% were ahead 83,000.
Brooklyn, 90% in were ahead 4,000.
Bronx with 80% were down 20,000.
Richmond with 80% were up 41,000.
Suburbs with 62% in, we're at 66%.
The state with 78% in, we're at 60%.
It's going to be over 50%.
Yes.
I don't see .
It was way better than that.
It wasn't that bad.
Even then, it was hard to put them down.
It was not particularly sunny and wet.
Other states all over the country, Illinois, Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania, Boston, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Massachusetts, places like that.
And then South Dakota, you've got to be careful.
you're not going to do work 57
P.M.A.
Dr. Spartan Thomas and .
LA at 60. .
.
.
.
.
.
.
L.A., Orange, and San Diego would all be... Orange and San Diego would be that good.
The whole South is 60.
Thank you.
I'm trying to get into the center.
I think you got it.
I'll tell you what.
We're going to take an ER at 60.
And Powell is $117.97 for Powell.
That's $28,000 for Powell.
$240,000 out of $190,000.
Okay.
Samuel Davis, Junior College, 7th Element.
God bless you.
My wife and I are so elated, my mom's wish is coming true.
It's a joke, and for us, it's mitigated by the mandate of the region.
We can go there for sure, I guess.
We'll have a program over there or something for us.
Yeah.
Good.
Well, it says how our cause wants to wish you the best of Nancy Dillard, please.
.
.
.
.
We had a feeling about it.
I don't want to use those kind of candidates.
They're the worst candidates I've ever met.
I called him on the phone.
He'll finish though.
He's one of the lines of the president that I told him to come to Colorado.
No question.
We will.
We will.
And what do we say to the president?
We're not going to Colorado, should we have gone?
We couldn't have gone if you wanted to report to the service.
Yeah, that's right.
The days that you would have had to go there.
How about Miller?
It was one of the first ones.
Okay.
I'm really wondering if you've been saying that.
I don't think so.
Well, maybe.
It was very concerning, really, to know that the state of Vermont, which is as public as any city, 70%.
They were carrying over.
They did?
Yes, sir.
How did they do that?
That's their sticks.
They're massive.
Massive sticks, but huge.
They have a stake that they're not used to splitting, okay?
Yeah, that's why.
Did you know?
Washington.
That's what they were doing.
That's what they were doing.
That asshole rover is going to be down there.
Republican governor in Texas.
Yeah.
Which is, so we rushed in right there and asked because when we ran it, I hadn't even, the whole deal was knocking with the governor's ship.
And they thought we were going straight, which we were.
So we got the governor of Texas a very good reason.
Yeah, all right.
That's where we ended up going.
No, we probably did.
We picked up Garland in Missouri.
We picked up Grover.
We picked up the postman.
We held over him.
Did we hold Garland?
They said so, period.
We were running behind.
I know you'll carry on.
They've regretted it.
We want, we can.
That's a whole other issue.
No, no.
We'll give this a go for the people.
Oh, great.
Well, no, Peter's lost.
No, all right.
You guys probably heard the other moment, didn't you?
Peter's lost.
We probably broke even, don't we?
He's docking.
One, of course.
On one.
What's up?
I don't know.
He's still broke even.
He's lost heroin.
He's still got a lot of time.
I don't know.
Your full cells are what?
The one in Hatcher.
I guess.
The gain of one.
The gain of one, and whole house with a gain of one.
We've got one, two, three, four, we picked up.
Lawson.
Vermont.
We're still in Lawson.
We didn't have it.
We're going to throw it.
The gain of one.
I don't know how many we did.
Here it is.
74% in.
Grover is behind, uh, uh, Bridges and Pellets.
He was ahead earlier.
We may not win.
Grant took one.
He took, uh, you know, he took Sam.
Sam won.
I think we made a split.
You can't tell by the road where I comment on these links.
Al Ross.
Oh, it's a vote there.
Well, the 76 and, uh, he's behind 12,000.
355, 367.
Sorry, I couldn't think of it.
And, uh...
Bob's lost at $3,000.
Bob's has lost, though?
Yeah.
It's not 100%.
$112,000, $115,000.
Shit.
How much did Tom's lost?
Probably $94,000.
That's enough.
How does the Senate finally come out then?
We now got it all added up.
We loaded the minors and we loaded the Boggs.
We loaded the minors, Boggs, and South Dakota, Smith, and Alex.
Minus six plus school.
Minus six plus school.
Down to 43 again.
Part of the problem there, is that flower seed, forbed and dying.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's part of the problem.
In LAX, you've got three incumbents.
You never should have been 12.
Now it's two.
It's very close, isn't it?
Oh, yeah.
67 or 68.
But also, it's not our basket.
Yeah, that makes sense.
That's awesome.
It was sad.
It was sad to vote for Kennedy.
Because Kennedy was the leader of the anti-Republican National Party.
I was charged with a quarter of a bike.
He won 72% of the vote.
He won a bike.
He killed his guys.
Huh.
He won a fight with a little bit of both of us.
The board was up there to speak.
That's right.
They had God.
They had three times.
Yeah.
There's a total number in Congress at the present time, we think 17.
We have picked ourselves quite a while back, and they have money, they have talent, they have numbers.
They're obviously kind of getting serious regarding their security.
Why don't you call up and ask about the congressional limits?
When I spoke with him, he said, you know, this is supposed to be about a barrel.
You want about 300,000 bucks.
He said, Gary, can I have a say?
You can call it whatever you want.
You can call it whatever you want.
You can call it whatever you want.
And as to what the net pickup is, of course, all of us want to buy our stuff.
So we're going to talk about that in a second.
We're going to talk about that in a second.
We carry Maryland and Virginia.
Right.
Yeah.
Right.
Total on this has up to 14.
Coming down.
That's 35 million votes.
35 million to do and 21 million for him.
35 to 21 is 50.
So, we're down a little bit.
We're down a little bit.
We're down a little bit.
We're down now.
The first thing they said was that we were lost and everything went to the county.
Part of it being that the bullets were just, you know, that's the California thing.
We didn't get through our literacy polls and things like that.
We just wouldn't get through them.
We didn't get through them for too long.
But I don't think that was the case.
There's nothing more we can get out of California, at least before I leave.
What time is the meeting in the morning left?
Am I supposed to drop by the end of the meeting for 1045?
Is there anything more in California?
On court.com?
See, out there, they're still counting.
They don't get the stuff out.
They can't get the stuff out.
They have their own reporters set up.
That's basically what they've got.
Other people have pulled out, but they can't get anything.
No, we went through this last time.
We gave you this stuff and we had to send people into the collection boards to get them out.
So the latest we have from California is that they project us to wind.
And the question is whether it's 54 or 57.
But again, the network's projected it's 54.
Our guys are projecting it's 57.
And Greenberg, I'm sure, won't know any more.
He won't.
All right.
That's probably the problem.
It's incredible to look back at this and see if there was some change.
I explain to her, it's not that big of a change.
I don't imagine it's ever going to be the same thing again.
It's not going to be the same thing again.
I can't.
Well, we promise nobody's ever won this thing.
The only, the only, the only things they can piss on are the fact that you didn't carry the condoms.
And, uh, that's what we were doing after that.
Yeah.
And we got a lot of fishing and calling and stuff like that.
Yeah, but it was a hell of a first go that was put, that was put.
But I suppose it was right.
And they're, they're playing that.
They're playing the analysis.
The other thing is we were playing through the logo and the people who should go show up after that.
Well, the low vote isn't that they didn't give a shit.
I mean, our answer to that is that it wasn't that they didn't give a shit.
It was that the police told them there was no need for them to trouble themselves to vote because what they wanted was going to happen.
And that would ask them, you know, that may be the reason they're going to vote now, isn't it?
Republican voters.
On the other hand, no, on the other hand, the press is contrary to the goddamn statement.
That's the other one.
The reason is there's no reason to spread it out, but it's clear that it's going to come out about 63 percent.
The list at 82 percent of votes in the second period is huge.
The projection is 68 percent.
There's no way you can report a Republican senator who's well-apprenticed and permanently
And he had a, he had a television play.
He had a letter.
I had a telephone call to him.
He had a scroll reader over at the State of the Blues.
And he had one of those that were over at the President's Room.
The guy that was in charge.
I still think, and I know that he's worked on all this, but I still think a lot of those people must face a blackout like Margaret Smith.
You're right, you're right.
All right, we're ready to invest in the market, market, market, market.
Well, everybody needs to have hope.
Get a market presence and see if it really gets over.
All right, something I would throw out, out this time, he was running independent on that thing.
Well, that was $10.
He was coaching.
Well, those guys never, never quite found that.
But they, they thought he was stronger than they were.
All right.
Pretty hard, I think, those would be considered.
Those three, not 10-4 now, those four.
Those four, without those four, we'd be looking pretty good tonight, wouldn't we?
Those four, we have a net loss of two, though.
Not a low ratio.
Not a low ratio.
Not a low ratio.
The other is behind 120,000 folks.
We've only got 43% of the folks.
But 83% is.
Just because they help you out.
He's losing faith.
He is just, you know, Margaret's been screaming.
Box is just, it's damn close.
Box, I think they could have saved it.
They're going to have Alex come close.
Alex could have saved it.
Box is out.
Box, we knew.
We knew Alex was in the room.
We did not know Alex was in the room.
I'll leave Alex in.
Alex saved it.
He said that we didn't believe him.
He did very short color on it.
And they said not too long.
And you could have gotten in it.
Well, enough of that.
You can't say yes or no.
