AL HUNT, CO-HOST: I now for the outrage of the week, uh, the November 5th election, if my math is correct, uh, James was 93 days ago and all the congressional contest and all the statewide races are settled except for one, the North Carolina state Supreme court race, which the Democrat won by 734 votes, but the Republicans won't accept defeat, even though a couple of years ago, they won a court seat by 413 votes and the Democrat graciously conceded, but now Republicans in North Carolina who have a habit of doing this are alleging that 60,000 voters, some of whom registered decades ago may not have put their proper ID number on the ballot.

Of course, they have to identify themselves when they cast the ballot. This is the same Republican party that in December stripped the governor from appointing to the state election board, anybody, a move that two former Republican governors say is unconstitutional. I mean, this race was won by Allison Riggs and for the Republicans to keep denying that and keep trying to steal that election is outrageous.

And if Trump, Musk and company need any lessons in how to be authoritarian and a supposedly democratic system, they, they, they really ought to call Raleigh.

JAMES CARVILLE: Wow. I mean, you know, now all the folks have to do is get it close and they'll just take it because we're not wearing our shoes and hand grenades. I get from my outrage.

It needs to partly like dramatic things, like just two things that Democrats have done that are so unmoored to what anyone in the country thinks or feels like it, it, it's almost impossible. The first one is some Democrats and progressives in New York are advocating for bereavement pet leave. Okay.

So in other words, if your cat dies, you get three days of paid leave. Does anyone even know, like in rural America, like where I grew up, how many dead animals in the entire history of the United States? Let me tell you something.

A Senate that has never, ever, ever been honored. Well, Martha Fido died. So I can't bail.

Hey, today. I mean, come on. I mean, please just think of how, and fortunately no one's got overly publicized this, although the right to use it in some places, just how clueless you sound to people who are agrarian, it's like, you know, you're living on a different thing that life and death on a farm is something that happens every six hours.

I mean, my God, then we had the famous DNC chair race of, okay. I don't really, really care. Let me read to you something.

Speaking to the Democratic National Committee, which met to select new leadership this weekend, outgoing chair, Jamie Harrison, attempted to explain the point about rules concerning gender balance for his vice chair race. The rules specified that we have a gender non-binary candidate in office that a non-binary individual is counted as neither male or female, and the remaining six office must be gender balanced, Harrison said. Did I just, did I just read this?

Of course I did. And do you believe this? Of course you do, because that's the level of jackassery that, now, does any Democratic candidate?

No, I don't even know if, if, if Ken Martin himself acts, but they do it. And it's like, there's a, a plant somewhere in quote progressive, unquote America, that just to seize how many jackass, stupid things that they can embrace, it's stunningly stupid. Both of them.
