[0:05] the jokes begin. [music] But what we
[0:06] know last night was no joke. The voters
[0:08] spoke loud and clear.
[0:10] >> Yeah, it really was. I [music] mean,
[0:12] this was a categorical repudiation of
[0:14] President Trump's agenda and his first
[0:16] two years in office. This is going to

[0:20] >> People spoke

[1:09] just 43 votes, but there's [music] still
[1:11] a number of votes coming in from

[1:19] house.
[1:20] >> We usually have about 30 at my house.
