[0:00] Republicans struggling with that.

[0:01] >> And as you and I talked about, there

[0:03] were the MAGA Republicans in the

[0:04] pre-election polling that said they were

[0:06] going to turn out to support us. Okay.

[0:08] Base wor. But there was that that other

[0:10] group of Republicans, not identifying as

[0:13] MAGA, but still loyal Republicans who

[0:16] not necessarily we're going to switch

[0:17] over and vote for Democrats, but they

[0:19] were saying, "H maybe we'll sit this one

[0:21] out."

[0:21] >> Right? Turnout is always a two-sided

[0:23] proposition. It's like your morning

[0:58] over to the broadcast.

[0:59] >> I do. I have other things to do.

[1:00] >> I love this stuff. But thank you, sir,

[1:01] for joining us. Have fun.

[1:03] >> You're welcome anytime.

[1:04] >> Children of the takeout. Blessings be

[1:05] upon you.

[1:07] >> Thank you so much.

[1:08] >> Well, buddy.

[1:09] >> All right. Another nerd's coming back

[1:10] over. Zack Denini. You know him. You

[1:12] love him. He's the head of data science
