Trump claims election was rigged: Enten breaks down the data

[0:00] all right this morning the president doing his thing questioning the results of the election [0:05] his reasoning is he says the polls didn't predict this they didn't predict such a big democratic win [0:12] with us now seen a chief data analyst harry and you know the democrats did win big [0:18] this election you know what else won big polls exactly polls won big oh my goodness gracious [0:24] how much copium it was the president of the united states drinking before this election going in [0:29] front of those crowds playing certain clips on the air but ignoring all the other data which [0:35] clearly showed that republicans were in for a drubbing and democrats were going up like a rocket [0:39] look at this okay democrats 2026 u.s senate they led the pre-election polls in 54 seats now at this [0:46] point they're currently ahead in 56 but 56 and 54 are pretty gosh darn close together the polling [0:52] clearly showed a historic way for democrats and that is exactly what happened regardless of what [0:58] the man at 1600 pennsylvania avenue might have thought was going to occur what about the house [1:02] polls what about the house polls you know we heard mike johnson saying oh you know no the polls are [1:07] going to be off we're going to starve off what is normally you know a midterm switcheroo in terms of [1:12] the parties when the parties are so close together but look at this the final month the national house [1:17] polls with democrats up by double digits you couldn't ignore it there were 16 polls at least that i counted [1:22] that had democrats up by double digits in the national household yeah maybe they did a little bit better than [1:27] we thought they were going to do but their idea that democrats are absolutely going to crush republicans [1:32] it was clear as day in the polling it was a sunshine day for democrats that was what the polling showed [1:38] and that is exactly what the result was that's a lot that is a lot of polls that was a lot of polls you [1:44] could look at the new york times or you could look at the cnn or you could look at a slew of polling [1:48] that had the democrats up by double digits and folks just decided you know what we're going to ignore [1:53] those polls oh so that's the senate the house what about the polling and the president yeah what [1:56] about the polling on the president you know when we were heading into this midterm election i said [2:01] over and over and over again that donald trump was historic in terms of being the least light [2:06] president going into a midterm election and you know what the polling showed on election day [2:10] that was true he was the least like president going into election day the least popular for midterm [2:16] trump's net approval in the pre-election polling look at this the average he was 24 points on the [2:20] water under the straight up or moves what did our voter poll that was conducted on election day and [2:24] before election day with election voters look at this minus 26 points this looks a whole heck of a [2:31] lot like this i don't know about you but i'm getting the hankering for some double mink gum when i'm [2:34] looking at this number versus this number the bottom line is the polls showed that democrats were [2:39] going to have a historically strong line in the senate that there was a good chance they were going to [2:43] do historically well in the house of representatives and showed that donald trump was the least popular [2:47] president ever going in a midterm election and they were all right i just kind of want to let [2:53] that sit there for a second that was so dramatic i wanted to sit there okay now we'll move on what [2:57] about looking for what are the prediction markets which is different than polling yeah but what are [3:01] the prediction markets saying about 2028 yeah there's a reason you know look at the prediction [3:05] markets i don't think jd vance looked at those results and when that's and he saw them he goes you [3:09] know what those results were real and this is i think what you see here and you know the chance that [3:12] jd vance is going to be the 2028 republican presidential nominee look at this you go two years [3:17] ago it was 56 percent now it's just a 33 percent chance scoring the cash prediction market i think [3:22] there's a good reason for that because i'm not even sure jd vance after seeing the results last [3:25] tuesday wants to run harriet and quite a presentation uh you know what i am revved up and ready to go and [3:32] on no coffee au naturel voters just gave donald trump's music a record scratch and yet he seems to be [3:39] stuck on some song that only he can hear the president's state of mind is in focus tonight as he [3:45] whips out his old playbook to deny what the majority of americans are telling him at a historic [3:52] volume it may have taken him six days but trump is now claiming the election was rigged goes without [3:58] saying that's false and baseless he also claimed the midterms aren't a rebuke on him since he wasn't [4:04] on the ballot the president seems unable to sort of deal with the reality of what just happened in the [4:10] midterms and he's going back to the things that he knows really well i mean why do you think he [4:16] seems unable to recognize um what democracy what the voters have said well look i i don't know i can't [4:24] get into his head i think that's a tough job but i think obviously this election came down to cost of [4:29] living uh if you look at across the board americans especially working families have been suffering [4:34] uh and it hasn't gotten the the ear that it deserved uh from the white house or really from [4:40] the entire republican party but what's craziest to me lulu is that out of the top 10 states where [4:45] cost of living is worse worse nine out of ten of those are all run by democrats they're all blue states [4:51] and what i think is going on is that a crazy answer a bad answer even from people that aren't really that [4:58] trustworthy on cost of living is better than no answer at all and that's what we saw from the republican [5:03] party when it comes to the median age of first-time home buyer being 40 years old like there's a lot [5:07] of reasons why we lost this race it all comes down to cost of living well i mean lydia fair right i mean [5:15] i think that's fair you you gave i think a very cogent analysis of what went wrong here and i'm just [5:22] struggling to understand why the president can't do the same thing yeah i think the hallmark of a good [5:26] leader obviously is empowering others and so i think this could be a really great opportunity given trump [5:31] has been on the stage now for a decade and he is looking at the last two years in office i i would [5:39] advise him to really focus on choosing and empowering a successor and we've seen he's been comfortable [5:44] with jd vance diagnosing some of the issues that went wrong in the election actually sort of supporting [5:49] him saying i i agreed with some of that so i think we need to see more of that from the president and [5:54] more of allowing a conversation in the republican party to continue uh and and let new leaders emerge [6:01] ashley i'm yeah i'm gonna yeah well you know but like but yeah but that's not gonna happen right yeah [6:07] and i think like republicans are now going to have to lie in the bed they made they have never pulled in [6:15] the reins on this man when he was not in office when he was in office and so when you allow someone to [6:23] almost become larger than life to have their hand their footprint on this party it is going to take [6:31] that much volume from a number of people the people that are in state elected offices the [6:36] people that are in federal offices the people that sit on national television and dissect what is [6:41] happening to say enough we you do not we don't want you to represent our our party and but they have [6:46] yet to do that over that decade yes ah but will they and um i'm going to play something uh now and then [6:52] noel i want you to jump in afterwards manu raj you pressed a speaker mike johnson known for his [6:58] firm um rejection of of president trump um and they and he was asked if trump should change course given [7:05] the midterms and here was his response mr speaker should the president course correct after tuesday [7:12] of course correct you haven't changed changed course you know he named stephen miller he's sticking [7:17] by pete hexes should he change his approach in any way i'm not going to tell the president how to do his [7:22] job we have an incredible record of the first two years of his term and i expect more success in the [7:27] day ahead i'm sorry that the voters made the wrong choice i really do believe that this next two years [7:34] is going to be a bit of a circus it's going to be chaos and i hate to say that but i i think that's [7:39] where the democrats are going to lead the house and that's a great uh a great tragedy i'm sorry the [7:46] voters made the wrong choice so many of those voters made the wrong choice i mean look um what do you [7:51] say about president trump at this point he's an 80 year old man he is often incoherent and it is [7:56] not at all surprising that he's reverting to form when he says even six days after the election you [8:01] know i i won it was right the important thing this time around is it's not working right like we all [8:07] remember five six years ago when he could claim election interference he could say it was rigged [8:11] against me and people would go and they would march on the capitol this time you look at the response [8:16] it it feels kind of desperate i i the response i've seen online is people sort of saying that [8:22] it's quite sad that the president is is you know pulling out his old playbook and nobody's buying it [8:28] this time and i think what what actually matters is nobody's buying it the margins in this election [8:32] were so solidly on the side of democratic candidates that this is not something where [8:37] you can pretend it was even close
