A few comments before you click play:

• Camera work is terrible: no need for the mistakes, but that’s what you have.
• Give Jonathan time to warm up for about two minutes. Best material is in the last three to four minutes.
• First time I’ve seen Jonathan Pie. He is a comedian: makes me think of Britain’s Stephen Colbert.
• You run some risks when you try to explain an election outcome like this one in toto in a few minutes, but this rant makes a good start.

For everyone who wants to think through what’s happening around us, thank you, Mr. Pie.
