For our many regular listeners who were not able to join us last night for our live taping of this special mid-week episode that included Scott and (very late) John Hinderaker (hence the “Five Whisky Happy Hour”), much of what we talked about has been overtaken by subsequent vote counts and other results. But we did have a number of questions and issues that should still be of interest even after the dust settles today, such as why the polls were wrong again, what’s wrong with the exit polls, why the legacy media looks increasingly mediocre as well as biased, why the big winner of this election cycle—and an important harbinger for the future—is Joe Rogan.
So listen here, or wherever you source your podcast material. But for Power Line only, and for gluttons for punishment, we include below a bonus track of our “overtime” conversation, where nearly 200 people stuck around while we watched the New York Times “needle” shift Trump’s winning chances from 83 percent when we started to 95 percent by the time we finished, and along the way we let several of our long time readers and commenters join the conversation to talk about all manner of subjects. Among other topics was an extended comparison toward the end between Kari Lake and Sarah Palin, for example.
And here is the special overtime session, available only here:
