Tuesday's election taught us a lot about where the country stands, some real surprises. I have Farron Cousins with me here to talk about it. Farron, I have, I just have to lead off with the death of the pollsters. I mean, my God, we saw it coming in 2016, but this is way out of whack. What's your take? Yeah. You know, after 2016, after they messed it up, they said, well, listen, we've, we've adjusted the way we do things. We've gotten bigger, more representative samples. You can totally trust 2020. And then, I mean, immediately, as soon as the first polls started closing on Tuesday evening, you look at it and you look at the polls from just two days before and you say, okay, nothing adds up, especially, you know, look at Florida. Biden was going to win Florida according to the polls by about five points, ends up losing it, one of the biggest margins of Democrats lost Florida in 30 years. Yeah. It's, it's actually, it's, it's it's much worse. Okay. I got to spend a couple of minutes talking about this because the, the, these folks want you to forget. They want you to forget the, how they bungled this whole thing. New York Times, great example, gave a 70 to 75% chance of, of Biden sweeping Florida. Okay. New York Times, double, double digit wrong up until the day before the election, all right. It doesn't stop there. ABC Washington Post gave Biden an 18 point lead in Wisconsin, the day before the election. Quinnipiac, Texas called Texas a toss up. I mean, Texas was going to be a toss up and it was going to turn blue, according to Quinnipiac. Yeah. It, it went to Trump by six points. I mean, there was no toss up in Texas whatsoever. And see, the problem is we always have to rely on these polls. Members of the media have to rely on these polls. We don't create them. We take them when they're given, we look at the aggregate. So when we go out there and we report on the polls, we report on this data, we also end up looking silly because we only reported on what the data showed. But it's the media. It's the media. I, I have to go out and do lots of segments saying, listen, I'm sorry, I'm sorry that I had said it wrong here and wrong here and wrong here. But that was based on what was available for us. But you did, you also covered segments where you said this doesn't look right. Right. You said this doesn't, like Reuters, 12 points off the day before the election. CNBC, 10 to 15 points off the day before the election. The, you know, who got it right? Rasmussen and real clear politics, almost right on the head so far. I mean, just right there. You know, the truth is that the, the way I see this developing is we have an industry, a polling industry that feeds the media and of course the media they're just as guilty, man. Right. They, they want to take this and they want to say, oh my God, it's over. You know, according to ABC poll Washington Post, it's over. But these folks are going to go home today and they're going to hope that the American public forgets about it. Now I'll tell you this. There was a story in the Atlantic, it was written by a guy, some cat named Derek Thompson. I don't know if you saw the story. He spends all this time talking about in the Atlantic, how it's different now. We have solved the problems. Yeah. Isn't that what you're hearing? End of this election, the pollsters are saying, oh, you know, yeah, we messed up last time. Jake Tapper calling landside, you know, landslides, landslide talk coming out of Jake Tapper. #rof #trofire #theringoffire #progressivenews
