## About this episode

Donald Trump secures a historic presidential victory, triggering a wave of media meltdowns and market volatility that Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak deconstruct as a total failure of the influencer class. While MSNBC hosts Rachel Maddow and Chris Hayes warned of a global financial collapse, the Dow Jones recovered nearly 300 points within 24 hours, exposing the gap between corporate narratives and economic reality. The outcome marks a decisive rejection of the Clinton campaign strategy and the predictive modeling of data scientists like Nate Silver.

Media figures including Van Jones and Christiane Amanpour characterize the results as a racial backlash or a rise in authoritarianism, while the hosts argue the shift represents a rebellion against corporate globalism and sovereignty-busting trade deals like NAFTA and TPP. Specific reports from the Javits Center reveal the irony of Hillary Clinton vacating her victory party for a National Association of Broadcasters event, as Ed Schultz delivers a scathing critique of John Podesta and the DNC leadership. Demographics show Trump outperformed previous Republican totals among Black and Latino voters, contradicting the white-lash narrative pushed by NBC and CNN.

Distinctive moments include a review of Miley Cyrus and Aaron Sorkin reacting to the news, alongside a bizarre biblical parable from Tim Kaine regarding vineyard workers. Sir Paul Mountain Mentat of the Monongahela joins the executive producer ranks as the show explores the sudden emergence of the Calexit secession movement and the logistics of Dutch submarines tracking Russian aircraft carriers. The episode concludes with a look at India's sudden withdrawal of banknotes and a final musical tribute to the ant-eating stories of John C. Dvorak.

### 2. Hillary Clinton Campaign Strategy, Message Failure and Voting Efficacy (1:37–3:22)

The analysis contrasts Donald Trump's clear message with Hillary Clinton's perceived lack of a positive platform beyond attacking her opponent.

MSNBC hosts Chris Hayes and Rachel Maddow are criticized for their coverage of the Dow Jones futures dropping 800 points on election night. The segment reviews clips of media personalities warning of a global financial collapse and reporting on the Canadian immigration website crashing.

### 4. Global Market Recovery, George Soros and Wall Street Trading (6:30–9:35)

Media figures like Chuck Todd are noted for comparing the election night market volatility to the 2008 economic collapse inherited by Barack Obama. The hosts suggest the overnight dip was a "scam" or a buying opportunity, speculating that George Soros may have profited from S&P put options. They observe that the markets ultimately ended up over 300 points the following day, contradicting the dire media predictions.

### 5. New York Stock Exchange, Carl Quintanilla and False Reports (9:35–11:21)

A report by Carl Quintanilla regarding traders on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange shouting "lock her up" is dismissed as a fabrication. The hosts argue that the lack of video evidence in a highly filmed environment suggests the story was ginned up to portray Trump supporters as indecent. They characterize the reporting as second-hand and unreliable.

### 11. Al Roker, Polite Company and Educated Women Voters (22:33–24:06)

Al Roker and other NBC personalities discuss why pollsters failed to capture the Trump surge, attributing it to voters being afraid to admit their support in "polite company."

The hosts argue that the mainstream media has lost all remaining credibility.

### 27. Corporate Globalism, Sovereignty and the Amish Vote (1:01:06–1:03:14)

The hosts reject the media narrative that Trump's victory was driven by racism, arguing instead that it was a rebellion against corporate global interests and a loss of national sovereignty. They point to the high turnout in rural areas like Pennsylvania's Amish country as evidence that voters were concerned with their own communities rather than racial demographics.

### 28. The View, Checks and Balances and Obama's Slip (1:03:15–1:05:42)

The hosts of "The View" are mocked for claiming they are the only remaining "checks and balances" against a Republican-controlled government. A clip of Barack Obama in the Rose Garden is played, where he appears to accidentally say "sexist transition" instead of "successful transition."
