Hey, this is Trey.

Thank you for joining us for a Tuesday edition of our podcast,

which, in the interest of full disclosure and candor, we are recording the day before,

the day before the Tuesday general election. And I have someone that knows more about the House

of Representatives than I do, even though you could argue

I served there for eight years.

You could also argue I didn't, but I was there for eight years.

Nonetheless, she covers Congress, House and Senate, for Politico magazine.

And you don't hear me say that many complimentary things about folks in the media,

but I'll usually carve out an exception for a Politico reporter by the name of Olivia Beavers,

because she was always very fair with me and with my friends when she covered us,

and that's a word that I love, fairness.

So with that, Olivia, having ruined your career in journalism by complimenting you.

How are you?

Hi, Trey.

I'm great.

And I'm so excited to share all the secrets that the rest of the world wants to know about who's going to win and who's going to lose since we have all that

information in advance of everyone else. You would be a very rich young woman if you knew the

answer to that because I just bumped into Carl Rove and I don't even think Carl knows. So you

have missed your calling. You would be a multimillionaire if you knew who

was going to win. So what I'm going to do instead of that, although if you want to be Nostradamus,

I am fine with that. I want to game out two scenarios. Are you willing to do that with me?
