AI GeneratedPresident Trump discusses the historical difficulty of sitting presidents winning re-election while highlighting his economic and border achievements. Meanwhile, commentators analyze the political fallout in Texas, specifically the defeat of Governor Greg Abbott and Trump's subsequent criticism of him as a \"RINO,\" signaling a shift in loyalty and future electoral dynamics.
Now, we have a soundbite from President Trump talking
to Fox News about the election.
Take a listen.
Honestly, look, I've been doing a lot of great things for a long time,
and it's just a point
in time, Brett, just a point in time.
It's the way it is.
There was a mood in the air, I guess,
and if you look, I shouldn't feel guilty because
Because virtually I saw you on your show the other night saying that.
Almost never does the sitting president,
no matter how good or bad or Republican or Democrat
he or she is, but no matter how good the president is, you lose.
I don't know why.
Nobody's explained that, but it's almost every single time.
And the one time, you know,
it's twice they won, many, many, many years.
And one of the times there was a World Trade Center.
So, you know, that was like an automatic gimme.
So they won really effectively one time.
Nobody's ever explained to me why. Because we've done a
great job. You talk about the border. We closed the border.
We had an open wound. It was horrible.
What we had was absolutely horrible.
We've done so many different things. And we have trillions
and trillions of dollars flowing in.
Think of it, the wealth that this nation's made in the last
Short period of time since I've been in, $25 trillion.
We're $25 trillion rich here.
Under Biden, we were losing. We were losing.
$25 trillion. And we have 10.
Okay, so we also got a statement about Greg Abbott,
the former now governor of the state of
Texas. So Gina Hinojosa defeating Greg Abbott
and Trump throwing Abbott under the bus like
multiple times saying the governor of Texas,
if he hadn't become a rhino in the last six months
of his political life, he wouldn't have lost.
He went back to his original formula and it was not
Not pretty.
So the state of Texas, not only James Tallarico,
who did extremely well and Ken Paxton was just not a great candidate.
James Tallarico won, but Gina Hinojosa defeated Greg Abbott,
who had been a longtime governor.
I had been in, you know, 2004, 2006.
I was covering him as an attorney general.
So he's been in state politics in the state
of Texas for a very long time.
So anyway.
And I will say, out of all the words to describe Greg Abbott,
I would not have thought of Rhino.
Yeah.
As a matter of fact, I would have thought of him as like...
Tip of the spear for Donald Trump.
And he, I mean, when immigration enforcement was ramping up,
I mean, Texas was like battleground, right?
And they really, he was really...
Kind of in step aligned with the Trump administration.
Yeah, you kind of seen this pattern though, that long time allies.
And if you just look at his track record,
I mean, just none of that's true.
And he's been very helpful to the president on board, but-
It's kind of like John Cornyn.
I mean, John Cornyn was very,
very supportive of the Trump administration.
And Cornyn didn't get the endorsement.
And James Talrico, he won handily.
I mean, it wasn't even...
Close, James Talrico mopped the floor.
Yeah, this is gonna be interesting going
into the, I mean, we're only two years away
from another presidential election.
And in the back of my head, I'm wondering
what's going through JD Vance's head tonight,
Mark Rubio, because really, if this is a mandate on President Trump,
then I don't know, they can't get away from it.
Mm-hm. Right, it defines them.
Correct. And so, heck of good luck
on messaging their way out of that
one. I think the biggest thing I'm
going to be looking at is when
presidential races start about two
years out now, I mean, they start
out way longer. You said you were
already going to be- Yeah, we're
pulling in like two weeks, which
again, it's going to start in the
next few weeks. So what are you
polling? Who would you support?
Well, not only who you support,
but what are you looking for in
race because again they start two years out now
and especially now after these
results I think what's gonna be interesting to watch is to see you know
especially when someone doesn't have
the power they used to and seeing this kind
of repudiation on Trump
or like these policies it's like again people are
gonna start jockeying for other positions but I tell you that they're
not gonna be hanging around him much
longer seeing you know the results after
tonight I mean this this is frankly traumatizing
The type of results for tonight, like, I knew it would be bad.
I didn't expect it to be this bad, but I guess, you know,
I guess you've seen something new, I guess, and this is it.
If you live long enough.
As Stan said, if you live long enough,
I'm like, Stan, you're like double my age.
But is that...
Stan was here earlier, by the way.
Marcus is young.
