“The entire thing was f****ing loopy,” Rogan stated, referring to Operation Warp Pace. “And all people simply went together with it.”

“Looney Tunes subsequent degree,” Musk replied.

“The psyop was fascinating to observe folks step in line,” Rogan stated.

“That’s like one of many largest psyops of all time,” Musk replied.

“Of all time,” Rogan agreed.

The partnership between the federal government and pharmaceutical corporations that fast-tracked manufacturing of the Covid vaccine is definitely thought-about one of many biggest wins of Trump’s administration.

Trump informed a summit in 2020 it was a “historic” achievement. “It might usually take 5 years, six years, seven years, or much more,” he stated. “In an effort to obtain this aim, we harnessed the total energy of presidency, the genius of American scientists, and the may of American business to save lots of tens of millions and tens of millions of lives everywhere in the world.”

Rogan, a vaccine skeptic, has beforehand clashed with main docs over the rollout and has been accused of pushing vaccine misinformation.

Musk, in the meantime, has beforehand described himself as “pro-vaccine” however stated “the world went loopy with extra vaccination” with Covid and drew consideration to “severe unwanted side effects” he claimed he suffered from the vaccine.

One other vocal critic of Operation Warp Pace is Robert F Kennedy JR, who Trump has touted as somebody who would have “an enormous position” in his administration regardless of being a outstanding anti-vaxxer.

Trump not too long ago introduced that he would give RFK Jr free rein to do “something he desires” and “go wild” over well being, meals and medicines throughout his potential second administration.

NBC Information’s Dasha Burns requested Trump on the weekend whether or not RFK Jr would ban any vaccinations, regardless of World Well being Group estimations that international immunization efforts have saved at the very least 154 million lives prior to now 50 years.

Trump refused to provide a straight reply on the matter, saying: “Nicely, I’m going to speak to him and discuss to different folks, and I’ll decide, however he’s a really proficient man and has sturdy views.”

Rogan determined to endorse Trump on Monday, saying that Musk had made a “compelling” argument for 4 extra years of Trump.

“The good and highly effective Elon Musk. If it wasn’t for him we’d be f***ed. He makes what I feel is essentially the most compelling case for Trump you’ll hear, and I agree with him each step of the best way,” Rogan stated on Musk’s social community X.

Musk has develop into a central determine within the Trump marketing campaign’s third bid for the White Home, endorsing the previous president within the days after the primary assassination try in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13. He then joined him on stage on the identical web site two months later.

CNN
 — 

Hundreds of thousands of Individuals will probably be tuning in to CNN and different networks on election night time as returns roll in. They’ll be ready to see who wins, one thing CNN will decide with a collection of projections.

With polls so shut this 12 months and some hotly contested states set to find out the result of the presidential election, everybody ought to be ready to go to mattress on election night time not figuring out who will win the White Home.

I talked to Jennifer Agiesta, CNN’s director of polling and election analytics, about how CNN approaches the job of projecting a winner. It’s an advanced and exhaustive course of. Our dialog is under.

AGIESTA: We challenge races. We don’t name them. We’re telling you the place we predict the race will wind up based mostly on what we see in entrance of us. That could be a projection by any regular definition of the phrase.

AGIESTA: There are a number of layers of individuals concerned in projections for CNN.

In the beginning of it, now we have a call staff that’s made up of people who find themselves consultants in both politics or statistics, they usually’re paired collectively based mostly on these areas of experience. They’re all reviewing particular person states, particular person races, making a suggestion on a projection that will get handed as much as the choice desk supervisory staff – which is 2 folks, one in all whom is a statistician, one in all whom is a political particular person.

They overview each projection that these particular person groups are making, after which they cross it to me. In the event that they’re snug with it, I give it a test, ensure I’m good, after which, so long as all three of these layers have gone, we’re good.

We cross it on to the management room and work with them. I reply any of their questions on why we’re or do not make projections at a given second, after which it’s going to discover its approach to air or on-line.

AGIESTA: There are a number of totally different items of knowledge that go into any given projection. There’s clearly vote knowledge. We need to see what’s been counted and what hasn’t, and our expectations of how giant these votes have been and the way they’d be distributed based mostly on previous votes.

We’re trying, as a lot as we are able to, wherever it’s accessible, at what sorts of votes now we have, whether or not they’re absentee votes or Election Day votes, and the way the steadiness of these issues matches up with what we thought it might be earlier than Election Day.

We’re trying on the geographic distribution of votes. Did they arrive from a very Democratic county or a very Republican county, or from a spot that counts actually quick or counts actually gradual?

Based mostly on what we learn about these issues, all of that will get dumped into statistical fashions that inform us what stage of confidence we are able to have with the estimate that it provides us. We are also trying, to a point, at exit polls in some states and what these are saying about how voters break up in a given place.

All of that type of comes collectively to make the final word projection.

AGIESTA: It begins off being far more exit ballot targeted. In states with exit polls, now we have reporters out within the pattern of precincts the place these exit polls have been carried out who’re accumulating votes from these particular precincts. So we are able to see how the exit polls are performing in actual time.

That is also, in a number of methods, a consultant pattern of at the very least the Election Day vote inside a state, and so that offers us one other marker of how issues are going. These sorts of measures will probably be extra vital earlier within the night time.

We’ll then begin to transition to trying on the precise votes and the place issues are, and the fashions develop into vital for a very very long time as soon as we’re basing issues totally on what the counties are telling us about what’s counted and what sorts of votes these are.

Then actually late within the night time, that’s the place the states which are tremendous shut that we’re projecting final – these are those the place we’re on the lookout for the maths downside that you just and I talked about 4 years in the past, the place it’s like, is there sufficient vote on the market that the candidate who’s trailing might catch up? And that turns into extra of an algebra downside than a modeling downside.

AGIESTA: I feel there will probably be some states that we are able to’t challenge on election night time simply due to the character of how they rely their votes and what we all know in regards to the pace of the reporting.

It doesn’t essentially imply that there’s something improper in these states, or that issues have gone haywire, or something like that. It simply is the method of counting these ballots that takes time.

In Pennsylvania, they’re not allowed to course of by-mail ballots till Election Day itself, so these election officers should undergo the method of opening each single envelope and unfolding the poll and feeding it by way of the scanner and no matter different verification processes they undergo. And all of that takes time.

In order that they do as a lot as they’ll throughout Election Day, after which when the polls shut, they have an inclination to cease and are available again to what’s left of these ballots later. However it tends to be after Election Day in a spot like Pennsylvania.

The identical factor type of occurs in Arizona and in Nevada, the place you will have a number of by-mail ballots. A variety of them returned later within the course of – the “late earlies” that everyone talked about in Arizona (in 2020), they only take a while to work by way of and really get them counted.

However different states are tremendous quick, and we are able to most likely get these projected on election night time. States with a large margin will most likely be projected on election night time, however shut states the place they’ve these form of slower counts are simply going to take a while.

AGIESTA: What we’re on the lookout for with our fashions is 99% confidence. And I consider the precise determine is 99.7% confidence from these fashions that we even have the statistical backing to make any projection.

It truly is figuring out the total image of what (votes are) out and what has been counted and the way these issues are anticipated to go, ensuring that we actually know that there’s not some wild factor on the market that would completely change the trajectory of what we’ve seen to this point.

AGIESTA: Clearly we need to contemplate each projection we make rigorously, and we don’t actually have totally different requirements for a way we’re projecting this stuff.

Each projection that we make, we’re going to search for that very same stage of confidence, stage of certainty earlier than we do it, whether or not it’s a race for president or a race for canine catcher.

There’s much more consideration on a type of than the opposite, so we could have extra folks concerned and an even bigger set of reality checks on a extra vital projection. There will probably be extra folks ensuring, asking each potential query all the best way down the road earlier than we challenge something that’s of great consequence.

AGIESTA: We count on to see lots fewer mail-in ballots usually, simply because we’re not in the course of a pandemic. We noticed in 2022 that the share of voters who selected to vote by way of mail-in ballots has dropped again to the place it was earlier than the pandemic. I feel we’ll see that proceed.

That doesn’t imply there gained’t be any mail-in ballots. There will probably be a number of them, they usually nonetheless take time to rely. However in a state like Georgia or North Carolina, the place you had an enormous variety of mail-in ballots in 2020, that’s dropped again to a decrease share, with a lot of the preelection voting occurring early in particular person.

In North Carolina particularly, they not settle for mail-in ballots after Election Day, even when they have been postmarked by Election Day, so that you gained’t have that uncertainty in regards to the variety of mail-in ballots that could possibly be on the market.

I feel in Pennsylvania, it’s all however two of the counties there have taken grant cash that requires that they rely constantly by way of the top. So moderately than having some counties that may rely in the course of the day after which cease in a single day, they’re going to be counting across the clock.

Whether or not they’ll be reporting across the clock is a distinct query, but it surely ought to get them to the top of the rely quicker, even when it does lengthen past Election Day itself.

AGIESTA: In Georgia, we’ll begin to see early in-person votes reported rapidly. We’ll see mail-in ballots reported actually rapidly. So we’ll get an excellent sense of whether or not that batch of early votes is as Democratic because it had been up to now, or is there any shifting within the partisan steadiness of preelection votes versus Election Day votes.

I feel we’ll see an analogous dynamic in North Carolina.

Inside every of these states, we’ll be trying on the margins in particular sorts of counties. Are the agricultural counties as strongly (Donald) Trump as they was? It’s been a reasonably distinguished (Kamala) Harris technique to attempt to shrink the margins in these rural counties. Is that occuring in these counties that rely fairly rapidly?

On the similar time, within the extra city counties in these earlier reporting states, is the turnout trying like it might in an election the place a Democrat winds up successful? Or is it trying extra prefer it did in 2016, when city turnout was slightly bit down relative to the norm?

Are the vote divides in these extra city counties just like what they have been in 2020, or do they appear totally different this 12 months?

These modifications 12 months to 12 months in several types of counties are most likely the place we’d be focusing our consideration early on.

Throughout the states that occur later within the night time, in Arizona, in Nevada, Michigan and, to some extent, Wisconsin, there are the important thing counties that I feel everyone who follows elections is aware of at this level.

In Arizona, it’s all about Maricopa.

In Nevada, it’s Clark and Washoe, as a result of these are the place the folks dwell.

In Wisconsin, we’ll be taking a look at these Milwaukee suburbs. How sturdy is the Democratic turnout in a spot like Dane County?

What are we seeing in an space like Grand Rapids in Kent County in Michigan that’s been type of swinging over the previous couple of elections?

We’ve these locations recognized which are vital to look at, and we’ll see how they prove over the course of the night time.

AGIESTA: I used to be an precise grownup in 2000. That’s most likely as shut because it’s ever gonna be.

WOLF: However did it appear as shut in 2000 heading in? I’m attempting to recollect.

AGIESTA: I don’t suppose it did. I don’t know that it was fairly as shut in so many locations. However I imply, it in the end got here down to some hundred votes in Florida. New Mexico was determined by just a few hundred votes. New Hampshire was determined by a really small margin. The locations have been totally different, but it surely was fairly tight.

AGIESTA: It might. I imply, polls are fantastic instruments, and clearly I feel that they’re fantastic measures of how persons are feeling, what they’re pondering, how they’re making the choices that they in the end will make in any given election.

However they’re not exact to the extent that they’d must be to inform you {that a} 1-point shift is occurring, or {that a} margin that appears prefer it’s going to be a tied race, who really is up or down in that type of race. A ballot can’t inform you that. We’ve to attend for the votes to be counted to know.

AGIESTA: (Laughs.) I’m fearful about so many issues. I feel my greatest fear is that it might doubtlessly take lots longer than we count on, given the tightness of the preelection polls.

In 2020, we have been capable of make a last projection on the presidency on Saturday. I feel the almost definitely state of affairs this 12 months is that it’s slightly bit sooner than that.

But when it comes all the way down to a state of affairs the place we’re ready on a state that has to undergo a recount course of, or we’re ready on a tied Electoral School or one thing, then it stretches out into probably December.

Date: Tuesday 5 November
Time: 4pm to 8pm, Fireworks show at 7pm

Portsmouth’s annual fireworks will likely be held for the second 12 months at Southsea Frequent on Tuesday 5 November.
