00:00Frank, in less than two weeks, we saw two historic events.
00:05One, Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt.
00:08Two, President Biden stepped out of the race.
00:11So, given the seismic nature of these events,
00:14has everything we knew about the election,
00:17or thought we knew about the election, out the window now?
00:20Yes.
00:22I keep saying to people privately,
00:25and you're the first person I'm going to acknowledge this to,
00:29I'm an idiot.
00:31I don't know right now, and nobody knows.
00:33And all these pontificators who said that this is,
00:37yes, it's historic, yes, we've never seen this before,
00:40but that's the point.
00:42We've never seen this before.
00:44So, we need to listen and learn before we pontificate.
00:50And to see all these people on cable news
00:55declaring how great the situation is, they don't know.
01:00They're speaking under their own preferences.
01:03They have no understanding of the electorate
01:06because we just don't know.
01:08And that's what I've been doing over the last 48 hours.
01:11That's why I'm so tired.
01:13I will have it figured out, I hope, by this weekend.
01:16But we are in uncharted territory.
01:19Half of the campaign has completely changed.
01:23The language that Donald Trump was going to use
01:25is no longer appropriate.
01:27You can't speak to Harris the same way you'd speak to Joe Biden.
01:31And the Trump campaign better figure that out
01:33because they're going to be punished if they don't.
01:37And quite frankly, those of us who pride ourselves
01:41in being able to prognosticate should be a little bit more quiet
01:46and a little bit more humble for a little while longer.
01:50Well, that's good advice as always.
01:53Frank, as we all listen, as you learn,
01:56I hope you come back on and break down what you heard with us.
01:59Thank you for joining me.
02:01Thank you for having me.
