Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, certainly they're spending millions on this presidential election. Fifteen
point nine billion dollars is what the projected total is
going to be. According to the twenty twenty four Federal
Elections Report, adjusted for inflation, this year's political expenditures will
constitute the second most expensive election cycle ever. Jeffrey Lord
joins US political commentator for Newsmax and American Spectator. Clearly
(00:22):
advertising works, Jeffrey, That's why they spend so much money
on it. Are you there? Certain there?
Speaker 2 (00:29):
You aren't here at Michael Love Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
How much money do you think they spend in Pennsylvania?
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Oh god, I have no idea, but millions, without doubt.
You know, they both candidates are practically living here. You know,
you're blank, and they're back in the state. President Trump
was just here for a town hall. Whether it was
yesterday or the day before.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
It was last night.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Yeah. President Obama was Insburg to a campaign for Harris.
Harris has been here. I mean, it's over and over
and over again, and I understand why. I mean, you
know Pennsylvania, Well, Pennsylvania's like Texas in the sense that
it's it's always important. The problem for Pennsylvania is this year.
(01:19):
It truly is dead center in this election. We have
nineteen electoral votes up for grabs here and so they
keep coming back over and over and over again. And wow,
you know, I mean, I've been to a few of
the Trump rallies myself, and Harris is no slouches getting
(01:41):
around the states. So we'll see. I honestly couldn't tell
you which way this is going to go. And then,
of course, as with you, we have a hot US
Senate race here. Our Democratic Senator Bob Casey has been
there for about I think three terms, and his dad
(02:02):
and this is what makes us so difficult for a Republican.
His dad, Robert P. Casey Senior no longer with It's
was a very popular governor of Pennsylvania.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Yeah he got He's been able to hold office on
the name alone. But I'm curious that the billions of
dollars that are going into races in this election, how
where does this end? Because we don't even know where
all that money's coming from. Yeah, we toss out it's
billionaires here in packs there, but where are the packs
getting their money? Are they just a money laundering operation?
(02:34):
For what's what? Globalists.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Is it coming?
Speaker 3 (02:37):
We know now we're learning UA is contributing, we have
foreign entities that are contributing. Is how legal is that?
Where do we stand in all that as a country?
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Well, I think it's I think it's legal. But but
you're right, I mean, it does come from all kinds
of places out there. You know, billionaires and millionaires who
are given all sorts of money. It is, you know,
you've got all these packs and all of this kind
of thing. It really is. I mean, the money is
(03:09):
just gushing in here. If you drive around the state,
as I have done in the last few weeks, there
are fortuitously Trump signs everywhere. You do see Harris Waltz signs,
but nowhere close to as many as you see with
the Trump signs. So that is a hopeful, hopeful sign.
(03:30):
But man, this could go either way, there's no question.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Yeah, the margin raiser then in Pennsylvania and I guess
all the battleground states. But it's been amazing, Jeffrey, how
the national polls don't really reflect what Trump was doing.
For example, in the last election twenty sixteen, and in
the last election he's doing better than he was doing
in either one of those two in the national poles.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Yes, I think that's true, although I will say this,
I'm always skeptical of national polls because we don't elect
presidents that way, right, We elect them state by state
by state, So you know, he could be leading by
all kinds of margians international poll. Excuse me, the question
is going to be what's he doing in Pennsylvania, or
(04:17):
what's he doing in New York or what have you,
And speaking in New York, I think it's very smart
on Trump's part. He has been campaigning in New York,
He's been campaigning in New Jersey, in California the other day.
He's not going to carry those states, but what he
is doing is campaigning in states where his appearance could
(04:41):
make a difference in terms of electing members of the House.
And that could make a big difference once assuming he
is elected.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Well, and even if he isn't, it's still going to
make a big difference. Jeffrey, thank you. Jeffrey Lord, the
