Speaker 1 (00:01):
Thank you Scott Chennan, and thanks to all of you
for being with us. We're having a little inside fun here,
so Kamala Harris does. By the way, it's election day
in America. I'm on a serious note. I have all
the anecdotal information data that I could give you. I
don't want to give it to you. There's no point
because it will contradict my main message today. If you
(00:23):
do not like the direction of this country, if you
don't like open borders and free sex change operations, if
illegal immigrants want them, and amnesty which will mean you know,
all the unvetted Harris Biden illegals will be voting four
years from now. And I assume that when you give
somebody of something of such great worth that they might
(00:44):
want to be loyal back to you. If you don't
want in mandatory gun buybacks, if you don't want to
ban fracking and offshore drilling, if you don't want defund
dismantle no well reimagine police laws and you want law
and order. If you don't want inflation to continue, if
(01:08):
you don't want interest rates this high, if you don't
want to pay a dollar fifty more gallon every freaking
time you fill up your gas tank, and you want
to save money, and you don't want to settle for
a townhouse, as the Washington Post was suggesting, forget about
the yard with the dog and the kids. Oh, let's
(01:28):
lower our aspirations to next to nothing. Doesn't sound particularly
inspiring to me. And you like the where you were.
Based on where we were four years ago, we were
in such a better position than we are in today
on every single measure. You know, we know that Donald
Trump will protect your Second Amendment rights. We know he
(01:50):
will close the border. We know he believes in law
and order. We know he doesn't have a problem saying
radical Islamic terrorism or illegal alien You know, we know
all of these things. We know that he wants not
only energy independence, which he got us to the first
time he was president in seventy five years, but he
wants energy dominance. You know, what it really comes down
(02:14):
to is the biggest choice election in our lifetime. And
I am urging also all of you to please if
you're gonna vote for Donald Trump, give him a team
that will support his agenda. Give him Republican senators, give
him Republican congressmen and women that are also on the
(02:35):
ballot this year. You know, because Kamala Harris, in her
own words, wants to the radical Green New Deal elimination
of private health insurance. She sponsored both those bills, government
health care for All with Bernie Sanders. Was never asked
about it. Was never asked about why she supported the
bail fund four days after Minneapolis Police precinct was burned
(02:57):
to the ground. Never asked about the free sex change operations.
Never asked and pressed on why she said over and
over again banfracking, never pressed on gun confiscation or mandatory
gun buybacks, never pressed because we have a corrupt media
and if you don't want you know this the destruction
of capitalism, which is the New Green Deal. I'm sure
(03:20):
she would do it incrementally. You know, we would no
longer be the land to aspire to be great. If
you look at her tax plan, her stated plan, what
we're going to tax unrealized capital gains. Okay, let's say
it's worth ten dollars today, but when you sell it
five years from now, it's only worth five dollars. And
(03:40):
for five years you've paid taxes on the increase that
that you've never realized.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Do you get a.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Refund anyway, joining us now from the great State from
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Dave McCormick, who's done very, very
well he's been now he's taking a slight lead. What
are we hearing about turnout in Pennsylvania today and where specifically?
What are we hearing about Philadelphia in particular. There was
(04:08):
a great piece put out by Mark Halper and then
pointed out that Democrats have a net loss of six
hundred thousand votes from where they were this time heading
into election day last year because Republicans voted early and
Democrats did not meet the numbers that they needed to
meet to equal what they did the last time. What
are you seeing in terms of voting turnout in more
(04:29):
Republican areas, which is most of the state if you
look at the map, and then these high density population
areas like Philadelphia.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Hey, Sean, good to be with you and listen for
your listeners. Now is the time we got to get
you out out there to vote. And if you've got
people in your family who haven't voted yet or are
thinking about not voting, please get into the polls. You know,
President Trump was here in Pittsburgh last night. We had
a great rally, huge energy, and this morning we woke
(04:59):
up spectacularly beautiful day between seventy five and eighty degrees.
I've been to four polling sites in Alleghany County and
big lines in all of them early today. All the
places I've been to said they look like they have
historic or near historic levels of voting. And so I
think in the rural areas we've got great turnout and
(05:20):
that'll be mostly Republican. Still a little unclear in Philadelphia,
to be honest with you, the mixed data that I'm
hearing from there. I think the Koller counties outside of Philadelphia,
Bucks County appears to have great turnout. And listen, I
think that the most important thing, Sean is for people
to just recognize. And you just went through the litany
of the choice here, but in a nutshell, it's a
(05:42):
choice between strength of President Trump, that guy he's all
shaking this fist of Butler, versus weakness of Biden and
Harris that have made the adversaries around the world testas.
It's a choice between common sense policies to get our
economy on track, secure the border, become energy dominant, law
and order in our city versus this radical liberal agenda,
and it's the choice in this particular relates to my
(06:04):
race between change and the status quo. Bove case. He's
a thirty year incumbent, and I think people are zeroed
in on that, and I'm optimistic we're gonna have a
good day here. The mail in ballot data is very
encouraging because, as you say, there's a huge movement of
Republicans getting a lot more mail in ballots out. Now,
(06:27):
some of those will candlebise existing voters, but many of
those will be new and the Democrats having a huge
gap and not getting near the mail in ballots of
the past, and that's been a source of strain for them.
So what that means is that just puts a much
heavier burden on their turnout. And my suspicion, but we'll
have to see, is that there's an enthusiasm problem that
(06:50):
I hear about. I see because I think Kamala Harris
is more out of touch with Pennsylvania than Joe Biden was.
And these radical San Francisco policies of you just said, banning, cracking,
mandatory buybacks of guns, legalizing I legal immigration, and so forth,
those just aren't those aren't flying in Pennsylvania. Joe Biden
with Scranton. Joe, he spent a lot of time in Pennsylvania.
(07:12):
People thought they knew him. This San Francisco liberalism is
not going to fly here. I think that's what's happening,
But we'll have to see.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
I gotta hope so.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
And I'm telling everybody to assume that their vote will
determine the outcome. And in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, that
means voting for Dave McCormick for the US Senate, that
means vote for your Republican congressman or woman. That means
vote for Donald Trump for president. If there is such
importance on the state of Pennsylvania. You know, it was
amazing to watch Bob Casey run his last ad tying
(07:43):
himself to Donald Trump as closely as he has when
he has virtually voted against Donald Trump of you know,
the entire time he's been in the US Senate and
voted with Harris and Biden.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
You just can't make it up. But I don't.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
I think the people of the Commonwealth are more sophistic
headed than that. Dave McCormick, We're pulling for you today.
Hanging there, and you know, hopefully when do you think
we get results in Pennsylvania?
Speaker 3 (08:09):
You know, I think our team probably will have a
pretty good sense of how things are playing out by midnight,
and my guess is nothing we'll get officially called until
you know, late into the wee hours early tomorrow morning.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
All Right, David McCormick, yous SENTA candidate in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Thank you, sir.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
All right man, good to talk to you, Sean.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Thank you appreciated joining us now. Former Congressman and Freedom
Caucus co founder Mark Meadows, who is from the great
state of North Carolina, another important swing state. How are you, sir.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
I'm doing well, Sean, and I can tell you that
all indications are that both North Carolina and Georgia will
go for Donald Trump today. So we're waiting for those
results to get in, you know, between seven thirty and
eight o'clock in North Carolina those start rolling in, and
a little earlier than that in Georgia. But it's looking
(09:04):
very very promising, very promising.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Explain promising. I mean, there was such an early you know,
this has been such a different year than we've experienced
in the past, with Republicans voting early and Democrats not.
I'm arguing they have a math problem coming into today,
and that is they didn't reach the numbers that they
would need to match what they had in twenty twenty,
(09:33):
meaning that they need to do something they have never
done before, and that is to turn out their vote today.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Do you see that.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Happening in North Carolina? North Carolina is always a pretty
close state. Seventy eighty ninety thousand.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
Yeah, so I don't see it happening in North Carolina
the answer, But you're spot on with your analysis. One
of the things that we saw and the reason why
I'm optimistic is the early voting is that Republicans did
show up to early vote and actually exceeded the level
(10:06):
that they saw in twenty twenty, which was the highest
that Republicans had ever done because it's COVID and everything else.
But what we also see is the Democrats in North Carolina, specifically,
about three hundred thousand less Democrats showed up to early voting.
And so that's why you look at the early voting returns,
(10:30):
President Trump should come out very strong there. I've been
analyzing the early voting trends in Georgia as well. Both
of those should vote well, which means the Democrats actually
have to win today now here anybody that has tuned in,
here's the concern that I have. We have what we
(10:51):
call early voting amnesia. Means if you've voted early, you
tend to forget the importance of election day. If you're
a server to voter, you need to make sure that
you've called your you know, your aunt, your cousins, your friends,
your family, your loved ones, and make sure that they
show up. Because as long as Republicans show up today
(11:13):
in North Carolina and in Georgia, they will win the day.
As they have typically shown strong support on election day,
Democrats will have to reverse the trend that we've never
seen before and they would have to show up in volumes.
And you know, a show up problem that you mentioned
(11:37):
is that we're not seeing it in the big cities, Sean.
We're not seeing massive lines in any of the big
cities in Georgia or in North Carolina. It is steady
and perhaps a little stronger response in Georgia than we're
seeing in North Carolina. But I think at the end
of the day, President Trump is going to be very
(11:58):
happy as long is you know, the people in the
great state of North Carolina, both in the west and
the mountains that got savaged by in.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
You mean the ones that got savaged and then abandoned.
And we now learned this week that what fifty percent
of them there calls to FEMA were unreturned, over fifty percent.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
Those people, well, those people exactly, and they listen. They're
tough people. I had the privilege of representing them. Congressman
Chuck Edwards represents many or most of those. But I
can tell you they're going to show up, but they
need to do that there and in the eastern part
of the state. If that happens, then you're going to
see them call North Carolina very early. But we've got
(12:44):
a few hours left. And so if you're listening in,
make sure that you you don't leave a vote out
there that just takes it for granted.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
I think that is well said. And let's go to
Georgia a little bit, because they were way behind. Mark
Alpert had a great analysis of it, and there, you know,
and he had the same analysis. The only place we're
seeing a big line in Pennsylvania in the Philly area
is by Temple University according to my sources. But I'll
check in with Jeff Bartos and selenas you know, at
(13:13):
the bottom of this half hour. And but you don't
see numbers that will make up for the for the
shortfall the Democrats had in North Carolina or Georgia specifically
Georgia today.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
Yeah, I don't see it in Georgia. I mean, we're
seeing there were lines in some of the bigger polling
places in and around Atlanta early this morning, not so
much during the day. If you were going to see
the kind of turnout that would actually be very troublesome
(13:46):
for Donald Trump, you would be seeing lines around the buildings,
you know, in both Fulton the cab cop to a
lesser at St. Clayton Counties there in and around Georgia
Fayette County, and we're just not seeing that. You know,
we're seeing a steady, solid return. But with you know,
(14:07):
probably seventy five to eighty percent of the votes already
in and early voting in Georgia, I don't see them
making up the difference. And so I think the state
of Georgia could be the earliest swing state that's called
for Donald Trump just because of what we're seeing on
the ground there today.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
All Right, We really appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Mark Meadows, thanks for that informative update eight hundred and
ninety four one Sean I did ask Donald Trump to
call in today and he goes, I'm tired. I said,
just call in for five minutes. We'll just say hello,
see how you're feeling. And he agreed to do it.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
People say he's calling in to Hannity because.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
No, I actually called him and said, would you mind
doing five minutes. I know our audience would love to
hear from you. I'm going to say it again. Please assume,
if you're in the seven swing states, that your vote
will determine the outcome of the entire election. Take it
that seriously. Have that degree of urgency.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
All right. We keep hearing.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
About the importance of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, we keep
hearing about the Blue Wall Pennsylvania, and that would also
be Michigan and Wisconsin. And if, for example, Mark Meadows
it was on earlier is correct, and Donald Trump is
going to win North Carolina and going to win Georgia,
please do not take that to the bank of you
(15:27):
or in Georgia.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Assume the opposite.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Assume that it is dead even and your vote will
be the determining vote in that state and maybe even
the entire election. Okay, but if that happens, if Donald
Trump wins North Carolina, if he wins Georgia and he's
up in the polls in Arizona, don't count on that
in Arizona either. I'm just making a I'm creating a
(15:49):
scenario that would mean that Kamala at that point would
have to sweep this blue wall. If Donald Trump wins
one of those states, he will be the next president
of the United States.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
It's that simple.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
And that's why I keep saying that I'm not giving
out a lot of data. I don't want to give
out a lot of data because it contradicts my entire
message of the day, which is assume your vote is
the deciding vote in the entire election, especially if you
live in Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona, and Nevada,
(16:25):
and just to just you need that level of urgency
and you still have time to vote in all of
those states. First polls I believe close at six o'clock
this evening. We'll have a list of that on Hannaday
dot com. Anyway, two people that I know that really
do know the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Jeff Bartos, twenty twenty
two US Senate candidate twenty eighteen Republican nominee for lieutenant governor,
(16:50):
and Selena Zito, national political reporter for The Washington Examiner,
discuss the all important Commonwealth with us guys. Great to
have you back, Selena. Let me start with you you
heading into today. I shared with you and Mark halper
will join us later. Mark Alpern's analysis of how there
was a net increase of six hundred thousand votes from
(17:13):
where we were in twenty twenty for Republicans because Democrats
early voting decline that significantly and Republican early voting increased
that significantly. One other factor about the Commonwealth is some
seven hundred plus thousand new Republicans are in the state
since about what four years ago?
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Am I correct on all that?
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (17:34):
Yes, that's actually you.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Made me doubt myself for a minute. Go ahead, So I.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
Am of the mind as you are in you always
want to encourage people to vote, and you always act
as though your team is down and try to respect
the sanctity of what people did you know, sort of
people died to make sure you could vote in the
(18:03):
Revolutionary War. It's one of our most profound freedoms that
we have. I will say tonight when people are watching
the returns, to fix their eyes on Bucks County. This
county has almost gone for Trump twice, has been a
(18:23):
Democrat majority county forever and a day, and now has
approximately five thousand more Republicans. That is the model county
that you want to see enthusiasm turnout, Republicans showing up
to vote, even Democrats showing up to vote for Republicans.
(18:45):
Because a lot of people don't sort of let go
of their Democrats.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
We'll call it bad habits, Selene, I'll be a little
more blood well.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
I mean.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
Part of it, though, is that in Pennsylvania it's a
closed primary. A lot of these counties don't have a
robust Republican candidate, so you have to vote in the
Democratic primary, so you have to be registered as a Democrat.
That's a big reason why a lot of people don't
switch their vote in our state. You know, their voting
habits have changed, but their localities have more Democrats running
(19:22):
them Republicans. Often some Republicans running as Democrats, so they
know that's how they can win.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
All right, Jeff, let me ask get your thoughts on
the early voting that occurred in the Commonwealth. Democrats, I
would argue, had a math problem coming into today. They
have to do something that they have not done in
previous elections and show up in what would be, in
my view my understanding, especially in the modern election error,
(19:50):
turn out more election day day of votes than they
ever have. And I can't get a straight answer except
for the area around Temple University in Philly.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
I can't get an answer to a simple.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Question, and that is what does the turnout look like
in the Philly area? In other words, are the voters
that did not show up for Kamala in early voting
are they showing up in massive numbers that would make
up this deficit that they had coming into today.
Speaker 6 (20:25):
Well, first of all, thank you for having me on,
and you're absolutely right. I actually just stepped out of
the campaign's war room, the Trump campaign in the Pennsylvania
GOP's war room here in Philadelphia. We've been here since
six point thirty this morning, and we've been tracking this
all over the state. And so one of the reasons,
huge credit to the Trump campaign and the GOP both
at the national level Chairman Wattley and Laura Trump, and
(20:47):
our own chairman here, Lawrence Tavis. They have really focused
on getting their early vote for Republicans and it is
why and here's case number one. When Canberra County goes
down like it did today with all those technical problems,
your vote early makes those problems less important. I also
want to stress I was in the room watching how
we dealt with that problem, and to all your listeners
(21:09):
who are thinking there's a problem out there and what's
going on, I just want to put everyone's mind at
ease that we heard about the problem. We sent our
lawyers in the court, ordered those pols to stay open
another two hours, completely handled. I was on a bus
the last four days with doctor Carson, who I know
you know well, Sean Byron Donald's Katkamack, a host of
(21:29):
terrif Matt Whitaker, a host of terrific people. And the
message we delivered for the last four days at every
bus stop was if you're voting on election day, bring
a lunch, bring an umbrella, bring a dinner, do not
leave the line. I had to just watch. One of
the worst parts of this day, Sean is having to
watch MSNBC and Nicole Wallace joshing around with Paul Rudd
(21:50):
that they're giving money to these students sitting outside of
Temple and sending him money on Venmo to buy pizza
for everybody in line. That is all the Democrats are
focusing on, which is why our message to our voters
is stay in line. President Trump took a bullet for us.
The least we can do for him is to stand
in line until it matters, I mean, for every minute.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Maybe well let me let me interrupt you and ask this.
Besides the Temple line, which I did see, which was
rather large and significant, but certainly not enough to overcome
this massive deficit, what is the rest of Philly showing
and what are the areas that are more Republican If
you look at the state, if you look at a
map of Pennsylvania, it's almost all red. There's like three
(22:33):
blue spots, and they just happen to be areas with
high population centers, and so the rural vote. What are
we hearing about the voting in the other areas, not
only besides Temple University, but in the red part of
the state.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
That's what I'm looking for, an answer to.
Speaker 6 (22:53):
Strong turnout in all of the areas that we want
to see across the rural parts of the Commonwealth. I
grew up in Burke County, so strong song time out
across every area. We want to see the one thing
and you hit on this, Selina hit on it. We
want to make sure nobody gets complacent. Stay in line.
If you have a plan to vote and you're going
to go after work today, stay in line, get out
there vote.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Let me emphasize this every state and we've looked this
up and correct me if I'm wrong. If you were
in line before the polls close, you will be allowed
to vote.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Correct.
Speaker 6 (23:25):
Yes, And in Cambria County, and we've gone into court
in Luneran County where they had problems with the paper
ballots today to have that extended as well. But we
are lawyers are on it right away. We have a
website at Pennsylvania dot protect the Vote dot com. We
have a number also that people can call, but Pennsylvania
dot protect the Vote dot com. Our lawyers are immediately
(23:46):
on it, and we're running into court where we need
to getting resolutions. Like I said, in Cambria, they're open
to the polls are up until ten PM. So if
you're in line until ten, as long as you're in
line by ten pm, you will be able to vote.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
I'll put the information you're passing on our website so
we can have that.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Now.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
What about so you are seeing a heavy turnout in
spite of the heavy the early Republican vote in Republican
counties throughout the Commonwealth, you are seeing a large turnout.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
All right, let them again.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
I'm gonna go back in for a third time here,
and I want both of you to weigh in on this.
Outside of Temple University, what's the rest of Philly look like?
What is the turnout there?
Speaker 6 (24:27):
I haven't I mean, I've been getting anecdotal data sean
all day from people who are driving around to polling places.
You're just telling me what they see, and it is
there's no ground swell of support that we're seeing around Philadelphia,
nothing that sets off alarm bells or anything that is unexpected.
But that doesn't mean again, between now and eight PM,
(24:47):
we're not going to continue to see So every voter
everywhere you have a plan to vote, vote, But I
don't have anything to tell you that it's like surprising
to us or either positively or negatively. I think it's
ordinary course, but we still have a couple more hours.
President Trump has focused. I mean, I was with Senator
Vance last night in Bucks County to Selena's point, Bucks County.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
I do believe that what an event last night was.
But okay, go ahead, amazing. I mean, let me, let
me bring Selena back in. I got to be fair
to Selena. She's like one of our best friends of
all time. Uh, Selena, how about you? What are you
hearing around the rest of the state, the red part
of the state versus what's going on in Philly where Democrats,
(25:29):
based on early vote numbers and percentages, we believe have
a lot of ground to make up.
Speaker 5 (25:35):
The turnout has been robust, in particular in those counties
that the margins matter. So yes, even in Cambria County
where there was a little bit of a kerfuffle, the
turnout has has been steady and robust all day. People
that didn't get to vote, they went and picked them
up and brought them back so they couldn't vote, Even
(25:55):
in small counties like Lawrence County in Meadville, but also
Butler Beaver, west Moreland. I live in Westmoreland County, This
is one of the historic Democrat counties that has gone
really red in the past eight years. And my precinct
(26:16):
is at a church, one of the sort of mega
churches with a mega parking lot that spills out and
you have to get into it off off a two
lane road. And not only was the parking lot packed
and you couldn't get in, there was a line along
the highway to get in to park your car. So
turnout is in these more redder counties is robust, and
(26:39):
that is a good sign for the Trump campaign because
these are the counties that offset whatever happens in Philadelphia
and Allegheny County.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Well, let's talk about what's happening in Philadelphia and Alleghany County.
Putting aside Temple University, where we know the Democrats have
a robust turnout there.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
What else do you see, Solina?
Speaker 5 (27:02):
Oh, I did you went out on me. I didn't
hear what counties you asked?
Speaker 1 (27:07):
No, I said, let's go back to the two counties
Alleghanty and the two counties you mentioned, the blue counties
in Pennsylvania, And besides Temple University, what are you seeing
outside of that area? Are you seeing a robust Democratic
turnout today and is it robust enough to make up
for the defictit they started the day with.
Speaker 5 (27:27):
It seems pretty normal. My parents live in the city,
in a very very blue area, and they were the
only two people at their precinct. You know, University of Pittsburgh,
you know, had a steady line, not Obama size. And
(27:47):
I'm curious about students because you know, there have been
a couple conservative rallies at the University of Pittsburgh that
have just brought out a monster amount of young people.
So I don't know that we can gauge that in
the traditional way that we used to gauge it.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 6 (28:06):
I agree with Selena. I think another another thing to
look at, you know tomorrow the next day is going
to be Jewish students how they voted Jewish voters in
Alleghany County, Philadelphia County, and the cooler counties around both cities.
I think that's going to be something to look at.
This is going to be fascinating. But the coalition that
President Trump has put together in all credit to him.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Sean, Well, then let me get to the important question.
Only because of the constraints of time, and you both
are friends of mine. So I really appreciate your time,
and I know you guys have been busy all day.
And I guess the question I have for you is,
how do you see this playing out? I mean, Pennsylvania
is so important in this election, it's not I think
(28:49):
for Kamala it's it's a must win for her. I
could see Donald Trump with other paths if he wins
South North Carolina, Georgia, the sun Belt States, if he
wins Arizona, if he wins Nevada, that would get him
to two sixty eight. But if he wins Wisconsin, he's there.
And Ryan's previous is pretty confident and bullish on winning
(29:12):
Wisconsin tonight, although he's not sure. Again, if you're in Wisconsin,
don't take that to the bank because it's always a
close state and assume your vote will determine the outcome.
But what's your best guess? Who do I want to
put the pressure on first? I think it's only fair
to put it on Jeff.
Speaker 6 (29:32):
I've been pretty consistent on this for about a month.
I think President Trump wins the state by two points.
I think Dave McCormick on seats are eighteen year incombent,
Bob Casey, and I think Stacey Garrity, Dave Sunday and
Tim Before run the table statewide. Everybody's got a vote.
But that's I'm going to stick to that prediction. If
I'm wrong, Sean, and it's less than that, I'll wear
a Dallas Dallas Cowboys jersey on your show someday, as.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
My son will be very happy. He likes the Cowboys. Selina,
I know you're a new grandma. This is terrible that
I'm asking you. How's this going to end? In the Commonwealth?
Speaker 5 (30:04):
I read I wrote this this week. This is how
I felt about this for about a month. I'd rather
be him than her in this state. It is always had.
She's not been a really good fit in this state
because the working class have moved over to the Republican Party,
and the working class really drives this the race here
(30:29):
in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Two big problems for her not picking Josh Shapiro, I
think we'd be having a very different conversation today, and
number two a ban on fracking. And she's not exactly
been the friendliest to union workers either. All Right, appreciate it,
Thank you both. Eight hundred and nine four one, Seawan,
if you want to be a part of the program.
Mark Calprin, Mark Penn and President Trump all coming up
and when we come back, Donald Trump, Mark Penn, Mark Alprin,
(30:53):
straight Ahead,
Thank you Scott Chennan, and thanks to all of you
for being with us. We're having a little inside fun here,
so Kamala Harris does. By the way, it's election day
in America. I'm on a serious note. I have all
the anecdotal information data that I could give you. I
don't want to give it to you. There's no point
because it will contradict my main message today. If you
(00:23):
do not like the direction of this country, if you
don't like open borders and free sex change operations, if
illegal immigrants want them, and amnesty which will mean you know,
all the unvetted Harris Biden illegals will be voting four
years from now. And I assume that when you give
somebody of something of such great worth that they might
(00:44):
want to be loyal back to you. If you don't
want in mandatory gun buybacks, if you don't want to
ban fracking and offshore drilling, if you don't want defund
dismantle no well reimagine police laws and you want law
and order. If you don't want inflation to continue, if
(01:08):
you don't want interest rates this high, if you don't
want to pay a dollar fifty more gallon every freaking
time you fill up your gas tank, and you want
to save money, and you don't want to settle for
a townhouse, as the Washington Post was suggesting, forget about
the yard with the dog and the kids. Oh, let's
(01:28):
lower our aspirations to next to nothing. Doesn't sound particularly
inspiring to me. And you like the where you were.
Based on where we were four years ago, we were
in such a better position than we are in today
on every single measure. You know, we know that Donald
Trump will protect your Second Amendment rights. We know he
(01:50):
will close the border. We know he believes in law
and order. We know he doesn't have a problem saying
radical Islamic terrorism or illegal alien You know, we know
all of these things. We know that he wants not
only energy independence, which he got us to the first
time he was president in seventy five years, but he
wants energy dominance. You know, what it really comes down
(02:14):
to is the biggest choice election in our lifetime. And
I am urging also all of you to please if
you're gonna vote for Donald Trump, give him a team
that will support his agenda. Give him Republican senators, give
him Republican congressmen and women that are also on the
(02:35):
ballot this year. You know, because Kamala Harris, in her
own words, wants to the radical Green New Deal elimination
of private health insurance. She sponsored both those bills, government
health care for All with Bernie Sanders. Was never asked
about it. Was never asked about why she supported the
bail fund four days after Minneapolis Police precinct was burned
(02:57):
to the ground. Never asked about the free sex change operations.
Never asked and pressed on why she said over and
over again banfracking, never pressed on gun confiscation or mandatory
gun buybacks, never pressed because we have a corrupt media
and if you don't want you know this the destruction
of capitalism, which is the New Green Deal. I'm sure
(03:20):
she would do it incrementally. You know, we would no
longer be the land to aspire to be great. If
you look at her tax plan, her stated plan, what
we're going to tax unrealized capital gains. Okay, let's say
it's worth ten dollars today, but when you sell it
five years from now, it's only worth five dollars. And
(03:40):
for five years you've paid taxes on the increase that
that you've never realized.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Do you get a.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Refund anyway, joining us now from the great State from
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Dave McCormick, who's done very, very
well he's been now he's taking a slight lead. What
are we hearing about turnout in Pennsylvania today and where specifically?
What are we hearing about Philadelphia in particular. There was
(04:08):
a great piece put out by Mark Halper and then
pointed out that Democrats have a net loss of six
hundred thousand votes from where they were this time heading
into election day last year because Republicans voted early and
Democrats did not meet the numbers that they needed to
meet to equal what they did the last time. What
are you seeing in terms of voting turnout in more
(04:29):
Republican areas, which is most of the state if you
look at the map, and then these high density population
areas like Philadelphia.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Hey, Sean, good to be with you and listen for
your listeners. Now is the time we got to get
you out out there to vote. And if you've got
people in your family who haven't voted yet or are
thinking about not voting, please get into the polls. You know,
President Trump was here in Pittsburgh last night. We had
a great rally, huge energy, and this morning we woke
(04:59):
up spectacularly beautiful day between seventy five and eighty degrees.
I've been to four polling sites in Alleghany County and
big lines in all of them early today. All the
places I've been to said they look like they have
historic or near historic levels of voting. And so I
think in the rural areas we've got great turnout and
(05:20):
that'll be mostly Republican. Still a little unclear in Philadelphia,
to be honest with you, the mixed data that I'm
hearing from there. I think the Koller counties outside of Philadelphia,
Bucks County appears to have great turnout. And listen, I
think that the most important thing, Sean is for people
to just recognize. And you just went through the litany
of the choice here, but in a nutshell, it's a
(05:42):
choice between strength of President Trump, that guy he's all
shaking this fist of Butler, versus weakness of Biden and
Harris that have made the adversaries around the world testas.
It's a choice between common sense policies to get our
economy on track, secure the border, become energy dominant, law
and order in our city versus this radical liberal agenda,
and it's the choice in this particular relates to my
(06:04):
race between change and the status quo. Bove case. He's
a thirty year incumbent, and I think people are zeroed
in on that, and I'm optimistic we're gonna have a
good day here. The mail in ballot data is very
encouraging because, as you say, there's a huge movement of
Republicans getting a lot more mail in ballots out. Now,
(06:27):
some of those will candlebise existing voters, but many of
those will be new and the Democrats having a huge
gap and not getting near the mail in ballots of
the past, and that's been a source of strain for them.
So what that means is that just puts a much
heavier burden on their turnout. And my suspicion, but we'll
have to see, is that there's an enthusiasm problem that
(06:50):
I hear about. I see because I think Kamala Harris
is more out of touch with Pennsylvania than Joe Biden was.
And these radical San Francisco policies of you just said, banning, cracking,
mandatory buybacks of guns, legalizing I legal immigration, and so forth,
those just aren't those aren't flying in Pennsylvania. Joe Biden
with Scranton. Joe, he spent a lot of time in Pennsylvania.
(07:12):
People thought they knew him. This San Francisco liberalism is
not going to fly here. I think that's what's happening,
But we'll have to see.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
I gotta hope so.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
And I'm telling everybody to assume that their vote will
determine the outcome. And in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, that
means voting for Dave McCormick for the US Senate, that
means vote for your Republican congressman or woman. That means
vote for Donald Trump for president. If there is such
importance on the state of Pennsylvania. You know, it was
amazing to watch Bob Casey run his last ad tying
(07:43):
himself to Donald Trump as closely as he has when
he has virtually voted against Donald Trump of you know,
the entire time he's been in the US Senate and
voted with Harris and Biden.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
You just can't make it up. But I don't.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
I think the people of the Commonwealth are more sophistic
headed than that. Dave McCormick, We're pulling for you today.
Hanging there, and you know, hopefully when do you think
we get results in Pennsylvania?
Speaker 3 (08:09):
You know, I think our team probably will have a
pretty good sense of how things are playing out by midnight,
and my guess is nothing we'll get officially called until
you know, late into the wee hours early tomorrow morning.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
All Right, David McCormick, yous SENTA candidate in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Thank you, sir.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
All right man, good to talk to you, Sean.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Thank you appreciated joining us now. Former Congressman and Freedom
Caucus co founder Mark Meadows, who is from the great
state of North Carolina, another important swing state. How are you, sir.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
I'm doing well, Sean, and I can tell you that
all indications are that both North Carolina and Georgia will
go for Donald Trump today. So we're waiting for those
results to get in, you know, between seven thirty and
eight o'clock in North Carolina those start rolling in, and
a little earlier than that in Georgia. But it's looking
(09:04):
very very promising, very promising.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Explain promising. I mean, there was such an early you know,
this has been such a different year than we've experienced
in the past, with Republicans voting early and Democrats not.
I'm arguing they have a math problem coming into today,
and that is they didn't reach the numbers that they
would need to match what they had in twenty twenty,
(09:33):
meaning that they need to do something they have never
done before, and that is to turn out their vote today.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Do you see that.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Happening in North Carolina? North Carolina is always a pretty
close state. Seventy eighty ninety thousand.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
Yeah, so I don't see it happening in North Carolina
the answer, But you're spot on with your analysis. One
of the things that we saw and the reason why
I'm optimistic is the early voting is that Republicans did
show up to early vote and actually exceeded the level
(10:06):
that they saw in twenty twenty, which was the highest
that Republicans had ever done because it's COVID and everything else.
But what we also see is the Democrats in North Carolina, specifically,
about three hundred thousand less Democrats showed up to early voting.
And so that's why you look at the early voting returns,
(10:30):
President Trump should come out very strong there. I've been
analyzing the early voting trends in Georgia as well. Both
of those should vote well, which means the Democrats actually
have to win today now here anybody that has tuned in,
here's the concern that I have. We have what we
(10:51):
call early voting amnesia. Means if you've voted early, you
tend to forget the importance of election day. If you're
a server to voter, you need to make sure that
you've called your you know, your aunt, your cousins, your friends,
your family, your loved ones, and make sure that they
show up. Because as long as Republicans show up today
(11:13):
in North Carolina and in Georgia, they will win the day.
As they have typically shown strong support on election day,
Democrats will have to reverse the trend that we've never
seen before and they would have to show up in volumes.
And you know, a show up problem that you mentioned
(11:37):
is that we're not seeing it in the big cities, Sean.
We're not seeing massive lines in any of the big
cities in Georgia or in North Carolina. It is steady
and perhaps a little stronger response in Georgia than we're
seeing in North Carolina. But I think at the end
of the day, President Trump is going to be very
(11:58):
happy as long is you know, the people in the
great state of North Carolina, both in the west and
the mountains that got savaged by in.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
You mean the ones that got savaged and then abandoned.
And we now learned this week that what fifty percent
of them there calls to FEMA were unreturned, over fifty percent.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
Those people, well, those people exactly, and they listen. They're
tough people. I had the privilege of representing them. Congressman
Chuck Edwards represents many or most of those. But I
can tell you they're going to show up, but they
need to do that there and in the eastern part
of the state. If that happens, then you're going to
see them call North Carolina very early. But we've got
(12:44):
a few hours left. And so if you're listening in,
make sure that you you don't leave a vote out
there that just takes it for granted.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
I think that is well said. And let's go to
Georgia a little bit, because they were way behind. Mark
Alpert had a great analysis of it, and there, you know,
and he had the same analysis. The only place we're
seeing a big line in Pennsylvania in the Philly area
is by Temple University according to my sources. But I'll
check in with Jeff Bartos and selenas you know, at
(13:13):
the bottom of this half hour. And but you don't
see numbers that will make up for the for the
shortfall the Democrats had in North Carolina or Georgia specifically
Georgia today.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
Yeah, I don't see it in Georgia. I mean, we're
seeing there were lines in some of the bigger polling
places in and around Atlanta early this morning, not so
much during the day. If you were going to see
the kind of turnout that would actually be very troublesome
(13:46):
for Donald Trump, you would be seeing lines around the buildings,
you know, in both Fulton the cab cop to a
lesser at St. Clayton Counties there in and around Georgia
Fayette County, and we're just not seeing that. You know,
we're seeing a steady, solid return. But with you know,
(14:07):
probably seventy five to eighty percent of the votes already
in and early voting in Georgia, I don't see them
making up the difference. And so I think the state
of Georgia could be the earliest swing state that's called
for Donald Trump just because of what we're seeing on
the ground there today.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
All Right, We really appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Mark Meadows, thanks for that informative update eight hundred and
ninety four one Sean I did ask Donald Trump to
call in today and he goes, I'm tired. I said,
just call in for five minutes. We'll just say hello,
see how you're feeling. And he agreed to do it.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
People say he's calling in to Hannity because.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
No, I actually called him and said, would you mind
doing five minutes. I know our audience would love to
hear from you. I'm going to say it again. Please assume,
if you're in the seven swing states, that your vote
will determine the outcome of the entire election. Take it
that seriously. Have that degree of urgency.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
All right. We keep hearing.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
About the importance of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, we keep
hearing about the Blue Wall Pennsylvania, and that would also
be Michigan and Wisconsin. And if, for example, Mark Meadows
it was on earlier is correct, and Donald Trump is
going to win North Carolina and going to win Georgia,
please do not take that to the bank of you
(15:27):
or in Georgia.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Assume the opposite.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Assume that it is dead even and your vote will
be the determining vote in that state and maybe even
the entire election. Okay, but if that happens, if Donald
Trump wins North Carolina, if he wins Georgia and he's
up in the polls in Arizona, don't count on that
in Arizona either. I'm just making a I'm creating a
(15:49):
scenario that would mean that Kamala at that point would
have to sweep this blue wall. If Donald Trump wins
one of those states, he will be the next president
of the United States.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
It's that simple.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
And that's why I keep saying that I'm not giving
out a lot of data. I don't want to give
out a lot of data because it contradicts my entire
message of the day, which is assume your vote is
the deciding vote in the entire election, especially if you
live in Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona, and Nevada,
(16:25):
and just to just you need that level of urgency
and you still have time to vote in all of
those states. First polls I believe close at six o'clock
this evening. We'll have a list of that on Hannaday
dot com. Anyway, two people that I know that really
do know the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Jeff Bartos, twenty twenty
two US Senate candidate twenty eighteen Republican nominee for lieutenant governor,
(16:50):
and Selena Zito, national political reporter for The Washington Examiner,
discuss the all important Commonwealth with us guys. Great to
have you back, Selena. Let me start with you you
heading into today. I shared with you and Mark halper
will join us later. Mark Alpern's analysis of how there
was a net increase of six hundred thousand votes from
(17:13):
where we were in twenty twenty for Republicans because Democrats
early voting decline that significantly and Republican early voting increased
that significantly. One other factor about the Commonwealth is some
seven hundred plus thousand new Republicans are in the state
since about what four years ago?
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Am I correct on all that?
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (17:34):
Yes, that's actually you.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Made me doubt myself for a minute. Go ahead, So I.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
Am of the mind as you are in you always
want to encourage people to vote, and you always act
as though your team is down and try to respect
the sanctity of what people did you know, sort of
people died to make sure you could vote in the
(18:03):
Revolutionary War. It's one of our most profound freedoms that
we have. I will say tonight when people are watching
the returns, to fix their eyes on Bucks County. This
county has almost gone for Trump twice, has been a
(18:23):
Democrat majority county forever and a day, and now has
approximately five thousand more Republicans. That is the model county
that you want to see enthusiasm turnout, Republicans showing up
to vote, even Democrats showing up to vote for Republicans.
(18:45):
Because a lot of people don't sort of let go
of their Democrats.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
We'll call it bad habits, Selene, I'll be a little
more blood well.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
I mean.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
Part of it, though, is that in Pennsylvania it's a
closed primary. A lot of these counties don't have a
robust Republican candidate, so you have to vote in the
Democratic primary, so you have to be registered as a Democrat.
That's a big reason why a lot of people don't
switch their vote in our state. You know, their voting
habits have changed, but their localities have more Democrats running
(19:22):
them Republicans. Often some Republicans running as Democrats, so they
know that's how they can win.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
All right, Jeff, let me ask get your thoughts on
the early voting that occurred in the Commonwealth. Democrats, I
would argue, had a math problem coming into today. They
have to do something that they have not done in
previous elections and show up in what would be, in
my view my understanding, especially in the modern election error,
(19:50):
turn out more election day day of votes than they
ever have. And I can't get a straight answer except
for the area around Temple University in Philly.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
I can't get an answer to a simple.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Question, and that is what does the turnout look like
in the Philly area? In other words, are the voters
that did not show up for Kamala in early voting
are they showing up in massive numbers that would make
up this deficit that they had coming into today.
Speaker 6 (20:25):
Well, first of all, thank you for having me on,
and you're absolutely right. I actually just stepped out of
the campaign's war room, the Trump campaign in the Pennsylvania
GOP's war room here in Philadelphia. We've been here since
six point thirty this morning, and we've been tracking this
all over the state. And so one of the reasons,
huge credit to the Trump campaign and the GOP both
at the national level Chairman Wattley and Laura Trump, and
(20:47):
our own chairman here, Lawrence Tavis. They have really focused
on getting their early vote for Republicans and it is
why and here's case number one. When Canberra County goes
down like it did today with all those technical problems,
your vote early makes those problems less important. I also
want to stress I was in the room watching how
we dealt with that problem, and to all your listeners
(21:09):
who are thinking there's a problem out there and what's
going on, I just want to put everyone's mind at
ease that we heard about the problem. We sent our
lawyers in the court, ordered those pols to stay open
another two hours, completely handled. I was on a bus
the last four days with doctor Carson, who I know
you know well, Sean Byron Donald's Katkamack, a host of
(21:29):
terrif Matt Whitaker, a host of terrific people. And the
message we delivered for the last four days at every
bus stop was if you're voting on election day, bring
a lunch, bring an umbrella, bring a dinner, do not
leave the line. I had to just watch. One of
the worst parts of this day, Sean is having to
watch MSNBC and Nicole Wallace joshing around with Paul Rudd
(21:50):
that they're giving money to these students sitting outside of
Temple and sending him money on Venmo to buy pizza
for everybody in line. That is all the Democrats are
focusing on, which is why our message to our voters
is stay in line. President Trump took a bullet for us.
The least we can do for him is to stand
in line until it matters, I mean, for every minute.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Maybe well let me let me interrupt you and ask this.
Besides the Temple line, which I did see, which was
rather large and significant, but certainly not enough to overcome
this massive deficit, what is the rest of Philly showing
and what are the areas that are more Republican If
you look at the state, if you look at a
map of Pennsylvania, it's almost all red. There's like three
(22:33):
blue spots, and they just happen to be areas with
high population centers, and so the rural vote. What are
we hearing about the voting in the other areas, not
only besides Temple University, but in the red part of
the state.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
That's what I'm looking for, an answer to.
Speaker 6 (22:53):
Strong turnout in all of the areas that we want
to see across the rural parts of the Commonwealth. I
grew up in Burke County, so strong song time out
across every area. We want to see the one thing
and you hit on this, Selina hit on it. We
want to make sure nobody gets complacent. Stay in line.
If you have a plan to vote and you're going
to go after work today, stay in line, get out
there vote.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Let me emphasize this every state and we've looked this
up and correct me if I'm wrong. If you were
in line before the polls close, you will be allowed
to vote.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Correct.
Speaker 6 (23:25):
Yes, And in Cambria County, and we've gone into court
in Luneran County where they had problems with the paper
ballots today to have that extended as well. But we
are lawyers are on it right away. We have a
website at Pennsylvania dot protect the Vote dot com. We
have a number also that people can call, but Pennsylvania
dot protect the Vote dot com. Our lawyers are immediately
(23:46):
on it, and we're running into court where we need
to getting resolutions. Like I said, in Cambria, they're open
to the polls are up until ten PM. So if
you're in line until ten, as long as you're in
line by ten pm, you will be able to vote.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
I'll put the information you're passing on our website so
we can have that.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Now.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
What about so you are seeing a heavy turnout in
spite of the heavy the early Republican vote in Republican
counties throughout the Commonwealth, you are seeing a large turnout.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
All right, let them again.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
I'm gonna go back in for a third time here,
and I want both of you to weigh in on this.
Outside of Temple University, what's the rest of Philly look like?
What is the turnout there?
Speaker 6 (24:27):
I haven't I mean, I've been getting anecdotal data sean
all day from people who are driving around to polling places.
You're just telling me what they see, and it is
there's no ground swell of support that we're seeing around Philadelphia,
nothing that sets off alarm bells or anything that is unexpected.
But that doesn't mean again, between now and eight PM,
(24:47):
we're not going to continue to see So every voter
everywhere you have a plan to vote, vote, But I
don't have anything to tell you that it's like surprising
to us or either positively or negatively. I think it's
ordinary course, but we still have a couple more hours.
President Trump has focused. I mean, I was with Senator
Vance last night in Bucks County to Selena's point, Bucks County.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
I do believe that what an event last night was.
But okay, go ahead, amazing. I mean, let me, let
me bring Selena back in. I got to be fair
to Selena. She's like one of our best friends of
all time. Uh, Selena, how about you? What are you
hearing around the rest of the state, the red part
of the state versus what's going on in Philly where Democrats,
(25:29):
based on early vote numbers and percentages, we believe have
a lot of ground to make up.
Speaker 5 (25:35):
The turnout has been robust, in particular in those counties
that the margins matter. So yes, even in Cambria County
where there was a little bit of a kerfuffle, the
turnout has has been steady and robust all day. People
that didn't get to vote, they went and picked them
up and brought them back so they couldn't vote, Even
(25:55):
in small counties like Lawrence County in Meadville, but also
Butler Beaver, west Moreland. I live in Westmoreland County, This
is one of the historic Democrat counties that has gone
really red in the past eight years. And my precinct
(26:16):
is at a church, one of the sort of mega
churches with a mega parking lot that spills out and
you have to get into it off off a two
lane road. And not only was the parking lot packed
and you couldn't get in, there was a line along
the highway to get in to park your car. So
turnout is in these more redder counties is robust, and
(26:39):
that is a good sign for the Trump campaign because
these are the counties that offset whatever happens in Philadelphia
and Allegheny County.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Well, let's talk about what's happening in Philadelphia and Alleghany County.
Putting aside Temple University, where we know the Democrats have
a robust turnout there.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
What else do you see, Solina?
Speaker 5 (27:02):
Oh, I did you went out on me. I didn't
hear what counties you asked?
Speaker 1 (27:07):
No, I said, let's go back to the two counties
Alleghanty and the two counties you mentioned, the blue counties
in Pennsylvania, And besides Temple University, what are you seeing
outside of that area? Are you seeing a robust Democratic
turnout today and is it robust enough to make up
for the defictit they started the day with.
Speaker 5 (27:27):
It seems pretty normal. My parents live in the city,
in a very very blue area, and they were the
only two people at their precinct. You know, University of Pittsburgh,
you know, had a steady line, not Obama size. And
(27:47):
I'm curious about students because you know, there have been
a couple conservative rallies at the University of Pittsburgh that
have just brought out a monster amount of young people.
So I don't know that we can gauge that in
the traditional way that we used to gauge it.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 6 (28:06):
I agree with Selena. I think another another thing to
look at, you know tomorrow the next day is going
to be Jewish students how they voted Jewish voters in
Alleghany County, Philadelphia County, and the cooler counties around both cities.
I think that's going to be something to look at.
This is going to be fascinating. But the coalition that
President Trump has put together in all credit to him.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Sean, Well, then let me get to the important question.
Only because of the constraints of time, and you both
are friends of mine. So I really appreciate your time,
and I know you guys have been busy all day.
And I guess the question I have for you is,
how do you see this playing out? I mean, Pennsylvania
is so important in this election, it's not I think
(28:49):
for Kamala it's it's a must win for her. I
could see Donald Trump with other paths if he wins
South North Carolina, Georgia, the sun Belt States, if he
wins Arizona, if he wins Nevada, that would get him
to two sixty eight. But if he wins Wisconsin, he's there.
And Ryan's previous is pretty confident and bullish on winning
(29:12):
Wisconsin tonight, although he's not sure. Again, if you're in Wisconsin,
don't take that to the bank because it's always a
close state and assume your vote will determine the outcome.
But what's your best guess? Who do I want to
put the pressure on first? I think it's only fair
to put it on Jeff.
Speaker 6 (29:32):
I've been pretty consistent on this for about a month.
I think President Trump wins the state by two points.
I think Dave McCormick on seats are eighteen year incombent,
Bob Casey, and I think Stacey Garrity, Dave Sunday and
Tim Before run the table statewide. Everybody's got a vote.
But that's I'm going to stick to that prediction. If
I'm wrong, Sean, and it's less than that, I'll wear
a Dallas Dallas Cowboys jersey on your show someday, as.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
My son will be very happy. He likes the Cowboys. Selina,
I know you're a new grandma. This is terrible that
I'm asking you. How's this going to end? In the Commonwealth?
Speaker 5 (30:04):
I read I wrote this this week. This is how
I felt about this for about a month. I'd rather
be him than her in this state. It is always had.
She's not been a really good fit in this state
because the working class have moved over to the Republican Party,
and the working class really drives this the race here
(30:29):
in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Two big problems for her not picking Josh Shapiro, I
think we'd be having a very different conversation today, and
number two a ban on fracking. And she's not exactly
been the friendliest to union workers either. All Right, appreciate it,
Thank you both. Eight hundred and nine four one, Seawan,
if you want to be a part of the program.
Mark Calprin, Mark Penn and President Trump all coming up
and when we come back, Donald Trump, Mark Penn, Mark Alprin,
