WEBVTT - Dave McCormick - November 5th, Hour 2 0:00:01.200 --> 0:00:03.080 Thank you Scott Chennan, and thanks to all of you 0:00:03.600 --> 0:00:06.280 for being with us. We're having a little inside fun here, 0:00:06.559 --> 0:00:09.480 so Kamala Harris does. By the way, it's election day 0:00:09.480 --> 0:00:15.320 in America. I'm on a serious note. I have all 0:00:15.320 --> 0:00:18.200 the anecdotal information data that I could give you. I 0:00:18.239 --> 0:00:20.040 don't want to give it to you. There's no point 0:00:20.120 --> 0:00:23.639 because it will contradict my main message today. If you 0:00:23.720 --> 0:00:26.880 do not like the direction of this country, if you 0:00:26.880 --> 0:00:31.520 don't like open borders and free sex change operations, if 0:00:31.720 --> 0:00:35.800 illegal immigrants want them, and amnesty which will mean you know, 0:00:35.920 --> 0:00:39.080 all the unvetted Harris Biden illegals will be voting four 0:00:39.159 --> 0:00:41.919 years from now. And I assume that when you give 0:00:42.000 --> 0:00:44.800 somebody of something of such great worth that they might 0:00:44.840 --> 0:00:48.040 want to be loyal back to you. If you don't 0:00:48.080 --> 0:00:53.159 want in mandatory gun buybacks, if you don't want to 0:00:53.280 --> 0:00:58.080 ban fracking and offshore drilling, if you don't want defund 0:00:58.080 --> 0:01:02.560 dismantle no well reimagine police laws and you want law 0:01:02.560 --> 0:01:08.520 and order. If you don't want inflation to continue, if 0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:11.880 you don't want interest rates this high, if you don't 0:01:11.880 --> 0:01:15.000 want to pay a dollar fifty more gallon every freaking 0:01:15.120 --> 0:01:18.840 time you fill up your gas tank, and you want 0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:20.920 to save money, and you don't want to settle for 0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:25.680 a townhouse, as the Washington Post was suggesting, forget about 0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:28.480 the yard with the dog and the kids. Oh, let's 0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:32.560 lower our aspirations to next to nothing. Doesn't sound particularly 0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:36.120 inspiring to me. And you like the where you were. 0:01:36.160 --> 0:01:39.200 Based on where we were four years ago, we were 0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:42.600 in such a better position than we are in today 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:47.880 on every single measure. You know, we know that Donald 0:01:47.920 --> 0:01:50.400 Trump will protect your Second Amendment rights. We know he 0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:53.600 will close the border. We know he believes in law 0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:56.400 and order. We know he doesn't have a problem saying 0:01:56.480 --> 0:02:01.120 radical Islamic terrorism or illegal alien You know, we know 0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:03.720 all of these things. We know that he wants not 0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:07.000 only energy independence, which he got us to the first 0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:09.840 time he was president in seventy five years, but he 0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:14.080 wants energy dominance. You know, what it really comes down 0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:20.040 to is the biggest choice election in our lifetime. And 0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:24.440 I am urging also all of you to please if 0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:27.360 you're gonna vote for Donald Trump, give him a team 0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:32.040 that will support his agenda. Give him Republican senators, give 0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:35.840 him Republican congressmen and women that are also on the 0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:39.320 ballot this year. You know, because Kamala Harris, in her 0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:45.239 own words, wants to the radical Green New Deal elimination 0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:48.919 of private health insurance. She sponsored both those bills, government 0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:52.040 health care for All with Bernie Sanders. Was never asked 0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:54.520 about it. Was never asked about why she supported the 0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:57.760 bail fund four days after Minneapolis Police precinct was burned 0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:01.400 to the ground. Never asked about the free sex change operations. 0:03:01.480 --> 0:03:04.560 Never asked and pressed on why she said over and 0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:09.440 over again banfracking, never pressed on gun confiscation or mandatory 0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:12.640 gun buybacks, never pressed because we have a corrupt media 0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:17.000 and if you don't want you know this the destruction 0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:20.240 of capitalism, which is the New Green Deal. I'm sure 0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:23.520 she would do it incrementally. You know, we would no 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:27.880 longer be the land to aspire to be great. If 0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:30.600 you look at her tax plan, her stated plan, what 0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:34.440 we're going to tax unrealized capital gains. Okay, let's say 0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:37.600 it's worth ten dollars today, but when you sell it 0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:40.320 five years from now, it's only worth five dollars. And 0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:44.240 for five years you've paid taxes on the increase that 0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:45.560 that you've never realized. 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:47.520 Do you get a. 0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:52.839 Refund anyway, joining us now from the great State from 0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:55.840 the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Dave McCormick, who's done very, very 0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:59.640 well he's been now he's taking a slight lead. What 0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:05.360 are we hearing about turnout in Pennsylvania today and where specifically? 0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:08.640 What are we hearing about Philadelphia in particular. There was 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:10.720 a great piece put out by Mark Halper and then 0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:14.000 pointed out that Democrats have a net loss of six 0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:16.960 hundred thousand votes from where they were this time heading 0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:20.440 into election day last year because Republicans voted early and 0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:23.599 Democrats did not meet the numbers that they needed to 0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:27.080 meet to equal what they did the last time. What 0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:29.800 are you seeing in terms of voting turnout in more 0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:32.279 Republican areas, which is most of the state if you 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:36.080 look at the map, and then these high density population 0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:37.480 areas like Philadelphia. 0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:41.240 Hey, Sean, good to be with you and listen for 0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:44.160 your listeners. Now is the time we got to get 0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:46.760 you out out there to vote. And if you've got 0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:49.720 people in your family who haven't voted yet or are 0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:53.000 thinking about not voting, please get into the polls. You know, 0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:55.560 President Trump was here in Pittsburgh last night. We had 0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:59.159 a great rally, huge energy, and this morning we woke 0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:03.960 up spectacularly beautiful day between seventy five and eighty degrees. 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:07.520 I've been to four polling sites in Alleghany County and 0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:11.279 big lines in all of them early today. All the 0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:13.479 places I've been to said they look like they have 0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:16.919 historic or near historic levels of voting. And so I 0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:20.039 think in the rural areas we've got great turnout and 0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:23.479 that'll be mostly Republican. Still a little unclear in Philadelphia, 0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:26.720 to be honest with you, the mixed data that I'm 0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:29.520 hearing from there. I think the Koller counties outside of Philadelphia, 0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:33.680 Bucks County appears to have great turnout. And listen, I 0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:35.800 think that the most important thing, Sean is for people 0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:39.320 to just recognize. And you just went through the litany 0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:42.520 of the choice here, but in a nutshell, it's a 0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:45.599 choice between strength of President Trump, that guy he's all 0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:49.680 shaking this fist of Butler, versus weakness of Biden and 0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:52.680 Harris that have made the adversaries around the world testas. 0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:55.320 It's a choice between common sense policies to get our 0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:59.200 economy on track, secure the border, become energy dominant, law 0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:01.799 and order in our city versus this radical liberal agenda, 0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:04.440 and it's the choice in this particular relates to my 0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:09.560 race between change and the status quo. Bove case. He's 0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:12.640 a thirty year incumbent, and I think people are zeroed 0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:16.080 in on that, and I'm optimistic we're gonna have a 0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:18.920 good day here. The mail in ballot data is very 0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:22.960 encouraging because, as you say, there's a huge movement of 0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:27.760 Republicans getting a lot more mail in ballots out. Now, 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:30.760 some of those will candlebise existing voters, but many of 0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:33.640 those will be new and the Democrats having a huge 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:36.680 gap and not getting near the mail in ballots of 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:38.839 the past, and that's been a source of strain for them. 0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:41.480 So what that means is that just puts a much 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:46.800 heavier burden on their turnout. And my suspicion, but we'll 0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:50.880 have to see, is that there's an enthusiasm problem that 0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:54.160 I hear about. I see because I think Kamala Harris 0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:57.159 is more out of touch with Pennsylvania than Joe Biden was. 0:06:57.360 --> 0:07:02.520 And these radical San Francisco policies of you just said, banning, cracking, 0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:06.400 mandatory buybacks of guns, legalizing I legal immigration, and so forth, 0:07:06.680 --> 0:07:09.520 those just aren't those aren't flying in Pennsylvania. Joe Biden 0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:12.240 with Scranton. Joe, he spent a lot of time in Pennsylvania. 0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:16.040 People thought they knew him. This San Francisco liberalism is 0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:18.200 not going to fly here. I think that's what's happening, 0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:19.160 But we'll have to see. 0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:21.960 I gotta hope so. 0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:24.880 And I'm telling everybody to assume that their vote will 0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:28.040 determine the outcome. And in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, that 0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:31.000 means voting for Dave McCormick for the US Senate, that 0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:34.200 means vote for your Republican congressman or woman. That means 0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:37.040 vote for Donald Trump for president. If there is such 0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:39.880 importance on the state of Pennsylvania. You know, it was 0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:43.160 amazing to watch Bob Casey run his last ad tying 0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:47.040 himself to Donald Trump as closely as he has when 0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:50.760 he has virtually voted against Donald Trump of you know, 0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:53.680 the entire time he's been in the US Senate and 0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:55.040 voted with Harris and Biden. 0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:57.400 You just can't make it up. But I don't. 0:07:57.440 --> 0:07:59.920 I think the people of the Commonwealth are more sophistic 0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:04.080 headed than that. Dave McCormick, We're pulling for you today. 0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:07.600 Hanging there, and you know, hopefully when do you think 0:08:07.640 --> 0:08:09.000 we get results in Pennsylvania? 0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:13.120 You know, I think our team probably will have a 0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:15.520 pretty good sense of how things are playing out by midnight, 0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:20.120 and my guess is nothing we'll get officially called until 0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:23.080 you know, late into the wee hours early tomorrow morning. 0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:26.600 All Right, David McCormick, yous SENTA candidate in Pennsylvania. 0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:27.160 Thank you, sir. 0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:29.440 All right man, good to talk to you, Sean. 0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:33.560 Thank you appreciated joining us now. Former Congressman and Freedom 0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:37.760 Caucus co founder Mark Meadows, who is from the great 0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:41.360 state of North Carolina, another important swing state. How are you, sir. 0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:45.400 I'm doing well, Sean, and I can tell you that 0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:51.400 all indications are that both North Carolina and Georgia will 0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:54.640 go for Donald Trump today. So we're waiting for those 0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:57.920 results to get in, you know, between seven thirty and 0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:01.080 eight o'clock in North Carolina those start rolling in, and 0:09:01.320 --> 0:09:03.640 a little earlier than that in Georgia. But it's looking 0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:06.720 very very promising, very promising. 0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:11.040 Explain promising. I mean, there was such an early you know, 0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:14.280 this has been such a different year than we've experienced 0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:19.360 in the past, with Republicans voting early and Democrats not. 0:09:20.320 --> 0:09:23.040 I'm arguing they have a math problem coming into today, 0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:26.280 and that is they didn't reach the numbers that they 0:09:26.320 --> 0:09:33.280 would need to match what they had in twenty twenty, 0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:35.880 meaning that they need to do something they have never 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:39.040 done before, and that is to turn out their vote today. 0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:40.040 Do you see that. 0:09:40.040 --> 0:09:42.800 Happening in North Carolina? North Carolina is always a pretty 0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:44.920 close state. Seventy eighty ninety thousand. 0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:49.320 Yeah, so I don't see it happening in North Carolina 0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:52.240 the answer, But you're spot on with your analysis. One 0:09:52.280 --> 0:09:54.440 of the things that we saw and the reason why 0:09:54.480 --> 0:10:00.720 I'm optimistic is the early voting is that Republicans did 0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:05.960 show up to early vote and actually exceeded the level 0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:09.880 that they saw in twenty twenty, which was the highest 0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:13.160 that Republicans had ever done because it's COVID and everything else. 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:18.520 But what we also see is the Democrats in North Carolina, specifically, 0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:25.040 about three hundred thousand less Democrats showed up to early voting. 0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:29.160 And so that's why you look at the early voting returns, 0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:33.800 President Trump should come out very strong there. I've been 0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:39.679 analyzing the early voting trends in Georgia as well. Both 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:42.880 of those should vote well, which means the Democrats actually 0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:46.600 have to win today now here anybody that has tuned in, 0:10:47.080 --> 0:10:51.000 here's the concern that I have. We have what we 0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:55.120 call early voting amnesia. Means if you've voted early, you 0:10:55.240 --> 0:10:59.559 tend to forget the importance of election day. If you're 0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:02.280 a server to voter, you need to make sure that 0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:06.520 you've called your you know, your aunt, your cousins, your friends, 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:09.600 your family, your loved ones, and make sure that they 0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:13.520 show up. Because as long as Republicans show up today 0:11:13.600 --> 0:11:17.959 in North Carolina and in Georgia, they will win the day. 0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:23.040 As they have typically shown strong support on election day, 0:11:23.559 --> 0:11:27.400 Democrats will have to reverse the trend that we've never 0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:30.559 seen before and they would have to show up in volumes. 0:11:31.880 --> 0:11:36.640 And you know, a show up problem that you mentioned 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:39.960 is that we're not seeing it in the big cities, Sean. 0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:43.120 We're not seeing massive lines in any of the big 0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:48.680 cities in Georgia or in North Carolina. It is steady 0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:53.320 and perhaps a little stronger response in Georgia than we're 0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:55.839 seeing in North Carolina. But I think at the end 0:11:55.840 --> 0:11:58.680 of the day, President Trump is going to be very 0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:03.480 happy as long is you know, the people in the 0:12:03.520 --> 0:12:06.880 great state of North Carolina, both in the west and 0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:09.760 the mountains that got savaged by in. 0:12:10.760 --> 0:12:13.280 You mean the ones that got savaged and then abandoned. 0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:16.079 And we now learned this week that what fifty percent 0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:19.360 of them there calls to FEMA were unreturned, over fifty percent. 0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:23.760 Those people, well, those people exactly, and they listen. They're 0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:27.760 tough people. I had the privilege of representing them. Congressman 0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:31.560 Chuck Edwards represents many or most of those. But I 0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:33.520 can tell you they're going to show up, but they 0:12:34.040 --> 0:12:36.360 need to do that there and in the eastern part 0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:39.319 of the state. If that happens, then you're going to 0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:44.079 see them call North Carolina very early. But we've got 0:12:44.120 --> 0:12:46.720 a few hours left. And so if you're listening in, 0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:50.040 make sure that you you don't leave a vote out 0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:51.920 there that just takes it for granted. 0:12:52.120 --> 0:12:54.280 I think that is well said. And let's go to 0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:56.880 Georgia a little bit, because they were way behind. Mark 0:12:56.920 --> 0:13:00.880 Alpert had a great analysis of it, and there, you know, 0:13:00.920 --> 0:13:02.920 and he had the same analysis. The only place we're 0:13:02.920 --> 0:13:06.600 seeing a big line in Pennsylvania in the Philly area 0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:10.280 is by Temple University according to my sources. But I'll 0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:13.240 check in with Jeff Bartos and selenas you know, at 0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:17.440 the bottom of this half hour. And but you don't 0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:19.960 see numbers that will make up for the for the 0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:24.040 shortfall the Democrats had in North Carolina or Georgia specifically 0:13:24.120 --> 0:13:24.840 Georgia today. 0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:28.400 Yeah, I don't see it in Georgia. I mean, we're 0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:33.040 seeing there were lines in some of the bigger polling 0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:37.240 places in and around Atlanta early this morning, not so 0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:40.760 much during the day. If you were going to see 0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:46.439 the kind of turnout that would actually be very troublesome 0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:51.320 for Donald Trump, you would be seeing lines around the buildings, 0:13:51.600 --> 0:13:55.599 you know, in both Fulton the cab cop to a 0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:58.800 lesser at St. Clayton Counties there in and around Georgia 0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:02.160 Fayette County, and we're just not seeing that. You know, 0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:06.920 we're seeing a steady, solid return. But with you know, 0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:10.840 probably seventy five to eighty percent of the votes already 0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:14.280 in and early voting in Georgia, I don't see them 0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:17.720 making up the difference. And so I think the state 0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:22.280 of Georgia could be the earliest swing state that's called 0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:26.200 for Donald Trump just because of what we're seeing on 0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:27.200 the ground there today. 0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:28.720 All Right, We really appreciate it. 0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:31.680 Mark Meadows, thanks for that informative update eight hundred and 0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:34.920 ninety four one Sean I did ask Donald Trump to 0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:38.400 call in today and he goes, I'm tired. I said, 0:14:38.440 --> 0:14:40.640 just call in for five minutes. We'll just say hello, 0:14:40.800 --> 0:14:44.080 see how you're feeling. And he agreed to do it. 0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:46.560 People say he's calling in to Hannity because. 0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:49.520 No, I actually called him and said, would you mind 0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:52.040 doing five minutes. I know our audience would love to 0:14:52.040 --> 0:14:54.800 hear from you. I'm going to say it again. Please assume, 0:14:55.040 --> 0:14:57.480 if you're in the seven swing states, that your vote 0:14:57.520 --> 0:15:00.680 will determine the outcome of the entire election. Take it 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:03.040 that seriously. Have that degree of urgency. 0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:05.240 All right. We keep hearing. 0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:08.960 About the importance of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, we keep 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:13.040 hearing about the Blue Wall Pennsylvania, and that would also 0:15:13.280 --> 0:15:19.120 be Michigan and Wisconsin. And if, for example, Mark Meadows 0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:21.880 it was on earlier is correct, and Donald Trump is 0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:24.360 going to win North Carolina and going to win Georgia, 0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:26.960 please do not take that to the bank of you 0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:27.840 or in Georgia. 0:15:28.160 --> 0:15:29.280 Assume the opposite. 0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:32.280 Assume that it is dead even and your vote will 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:35.000 be the determining vote in that state and maybe even 0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:39.080 the entire election. Okay, but if that happens, if Donald 0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:42.800 Trump wins North Carolina, if he wins Georgia and he's 0:15:43.120 --> 0:15:45.720 up in the polls in Arizona, don't count on that 0:15:45.760 --> 0:15:49.800 in Arizona either. I'm just making a I'm creating a 0:15:49.840 --> 0:15:54.200 scenario that would mean that Kamala at that point would 0:15:54.240 --> 0:15:58.840 have to sweep this blue wall. If Donald Trump wins 0:15:58.880 --> 0:16:01.880 one of those states, he will be the next president 0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:02.880 of the United States. 0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:04.320 It's that simple. 0:16:04.880 --> 0:16:08.360 And that's why I keep saying that I'm not giving 0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:10.280 out a lot of data. I don't want to give 0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:13.960 out a lot of data because it contradicts my entire 0:16:14.120 --> 0:16:17.080 message of the day, which is assume your vote is 0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:20.560 the deciding vote in the entire election, especially if you 0:16:20.600 --> 0:16:25.120 live in Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona, and Nevada, 0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:29.119 and just to just you need that level of urgency 0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:31.960 and you still have time to vote in all of 0:16:32.000 --> 0:16:36.440 those states. First polls I believe close at six o'clock 0:16:36.480 --> 0:16:38.720 this evening. We'll have a list of that on Hannaday 0:16:38.760 --> 0:16:41.480 dot com. Anyway, two people that I know that really 0:16:41.560 --> 0:16:45.560 do know the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Jeff Bartos, twenty twenty 0:16:45.600 --> 0:16:50.080 two US Senate candidate twenty eighteen Republican nominee for lieutenant governor, 0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:53.920 and Selena Zito, national political reporter for The Washington Examiner, 0:16:54.840 --> 0:16:57.960 discuss the all important Commonwealth with us guys. Great to 0:16:58.000 --> 0:17:00.160 have you back, Selena. Let me start with you you 0:17:00.320 --> 0:17:04.639 heading into today. I shared with you and Mark halper 0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:08.800 will join us later. Mark Alpern's analysis of how there 0:17:08.880 --> 0:17:12.960 was a net increase of six hundred thousand votes from 0:17:13.040 --> 0:17:16.760 where we were in twenty twenty for Republicans because Democrats 0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:21.720 early voting decline that significantly and Republican early voting increased 0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:25.360 that significantly. One other factor about the Commonwealth is some 0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:29.240 seven hundred plus thousand new Republicans are in the state 0:17:29.320 --> 0:17:30.640 since about what four years ago? 0:17:30.640 --> 0:17:31.680 Am I correct on all that? 0:17:33.600 --> 0:17:33.800 Yes? 0:17:34.240 --> 0:17:36.760 Yes, that's actually you. 0:17:36.760 --> 0:17:42.720 Made me doubt myself for a minute. Go ahead, So I. 0:17:42.640 --> 0:17:47.440 Am of the mind as you are in you always 0:17:47.600 --> 0:17:51.640 want to encourage people to vote, and you always act 0:17:51.760 --> 0:17:56.680 as though your team is down and try to respect 0:17:56.720 --> 0:18:01.400 the sanctity of what people did you know, sort of 0:18:01.600 --> 0:18:03.440 people died to make sure you could vote in the 0:18:03.560 --> 0:18:07.720 Revolutionary War. It's one of our most profound freedoms that 0:18:07.800 --> 0:18:12.280 we have. I will say tonight when people are watching 0:18:13.160 --> 0:18:19.639 the returns, to fix their eyes on Bucks County. This 0:18:19.800 --> 0:18:23.840 county has almost gone for Trump twice, has been a 0:18:23.880 --> 0:18:29.520 Democrat majority county forever and a day, and now has 0:18:29.640 --> 0:18:35.200 approximately five thousand more Republicans. That is the model county 0:18:35.760 --> 0:18:41.680 that you want to see enthusiasm turnout, Republicans showing up 0:18:41.720 --> 0:18:45.680 to vote, even Democrats showing up to vote for Republicans. 0:18:45.880 --> 0:18:48.200 Because a lot of people don't sort of let go 0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:52.120 of their Democrats. 0:18:52.480 --> 0:18:54.720 We'll call it bad habits, Selene, I'll be a little 0:18:54.720 --> 0:18:56.320 more blood well. 0:18:56.560 --> 0:18:56.800 I mean. 0:18:57.000 --> 0:19:00.520 Part of it, though, is that in Pennsylvania it's a 0:19:00.560 --> 0:19:03.879 closed primary. A lot of these counties don't have a 0:19:04.040 --> 0:19:07.960 robust Republican candidate, so you have to vote in the 0:19:08.000 --> 0:19:11.040 Democratic primary, so you have to be registered as a Democrat. 0:19:11.320 --> 0:19:13.640 That's a big reason why a lot of people don't 0:19:13.640 --> 0:19:16.919 switch their vote in our state. You know, their voting 0:19:16.960 --> 0:19:22.840 habits have changed, but their localities have more Democrats running 0:19:22.880 --> 0:19:27.040 them Republicans. Often some Republicans running as Democrats, so they 0:19:27.080 --> 0:19:28.080 know that's how they can win. 0:19:28.840 --> 0:19:31.480 All right, Jeff, let me ask get your thoughts on 0:19:31.840 --> 0:19:36.520 the early voting that occurred in the Commonwealth. Democrats, I 0:19:36.520 --> 0:19:39.920 would argue, had a math problem coming into today. They 0:19:39.960 --> 0:19:42.240 have to do something that they have not done in 0:19:42.280 --> 0:19:44.840 previous elections and show up in what would be, in 0:19:44.840 --> 0:19:49.680 my view my understanding, especially in the modern election error, 0:19:50.760 --> 0:19:54.240 turn out more election day day of votes than they 0:19:54.240 --> 0:20:00.280 ever have. And I can't get a straight answer except 0:20:00.320 --> 0:20:03.600 for the area around Temple University in Philly. 0:20:04.200 --> 0:20:06.720 I can't get an answer to a simple. 0:20:06.480 --> 0:20:09.679 Question, and that is what does the turnout look like 0:20:09.960 --> 0:20:14.280 in the Philly area? In other words, are the voters 0:20:14.280 --> 0:20:18.679 that did not show up for Kamala in early voting 0:20:18.960 --> 0:20:22.000 are they showing up in massive numbers that would make 0:20:22.080 --> 0:20:24.520 up this deficit that they had coming into today. 0:20:25.680 --> 0:20:27.080 Well, first of all, thank you for having me on, 0:20:27.840 --> 0:20:30.159 and you're absolutely right. I actually just stepped out of 0:20:30.240 --> 0:20:33.440 the campaign's war room, the Trump campaign in the Pennsylvania 0:20:33.440 --> 0:20:36.440 GOP's war room here in Philadelphia. We've been here since 0:20:36.760 --> 0:20:39.280 six point thirty this morning, and we've been tracking this 0:20:39.400 --> 0:20:41.360 all over the state. And so one of the reasons, 0:20:41.560 --> 0:20:44.080 huge credit to the Trump campaign and the GOP both 0:20:44.080 --> 0:20:47.119 at the national level Chairman Wattley and Laura Trump, and 0:20:47.440 --> 0:20:49.920 our own chairman here, Lawrence Tavis. They have really focused 0:20:49.960 --> 0:20:52.879 on getting their early vote for Republicans and it is 0:20:52.920 --> 0:20:56.440 why and here's case number one. When Canberra County goes 0:20:56.480 --> 0:20:59.080 down like it did today with all those technical problems, 0:21:00.320 --> 0:21:03.760 your vote early makes those problems less important. I also 0:21:03.840 --> 0:21:06.240 want to stress I was in the room watching how 0:21:06.240 --> 0:21:09.000 we dealt with that problem, and to all your listeners 0:21:09.000 --> 0:21:10.920 who are thinking there's a problem out there and what's 0:21:10.960 --> 0:21:13.120 going on, I just want to put everyone's mind at 0:21:13.119 --> 0:21:16.639 ease that we heard about the problem. We sent our 0:21:16.720 --> 0:21:19.240 lawyers in the court, ordered those pols to stay open 0:21:19.320 --> 0:21:22.680 another two hours, completely handled. I was on a bus 0:21:22.720 --> 0:21:24.840 the last four days with doctor Carson, who I know 0:21:24.880 --> 0:21:29.760 you know well, Sean Byron Donald's Katkamack, a host of 0:21:29.840 --> 0:21:33.159 terrif Matt Whitaker, a host of terrific people. And the 0:21:33.200 --> 0:21:35.520 message we delivered for the last four days at every 0:21:35.520 --> 0:21:38.760 bus stop was if you're voting on election day, bring 0:21:38.800 --> 0:21:41.800 a lunch, bring an umbrella, bring a dinner, do not 0:21:42.000 --> 0:21:44.680 leave the line. I had to just watch. One of 0:21:44.720 --> 0:21:46.240 the worst parts of this day, Sean is having to 0:21:46.280 --> 0:21:50.800 watch MSNBC and Nicole Wallace joshing around with Paul Rudd 0:21:50.800 --> 0:21:53.119 that they're giving money to these students sitting outside of 0:21:53.200 --> 0:21:56.480 Temple and sending him money on Venmo to buy pizza 0:21:56.520 --> 0:21:58.800 for everybody in line. That is all the Democrats are 0:21:58.800 --> 0:22:01.719 focusing on, which is why our message to our voters 0:22:01.760 --> 0:22:05.200 is stay in line. President Trump took a bullet for us. 0:22:05.720 --> 0:22:07.720 The least we can do for him is to stand 0:22:07.760 --> 0:22:10.240 in line until it matters, I mean, for every minute. 0:22:10.440 --> 0:22:12.680 Maybe well let me let me interrupt you and ask this. 0:22:12.880 --> 0:22:15.679 Besides the Temple line, which I did see, which was 0:22:15.880 --> 0:22:19.320 rather large and significant, but certainly not enough to overcome 0:22:19.720 --> 0:22:23.640 this massive deficit, what is the rest of Philly showing 0:22:23.840 --> 0:22:26.919 and what are the areas that are more Republican If 0:22:26.960 --> 0:22:28.399 you look at the state, if you look at a 0:22:28.400 --> 0:22:33.200 map of Pennsylvania, it's almost all red. There's like three 0:22:33.280 --> 0:22:36.639 blue spots, and they just happen to be areas with 0:22:37.080 --> 0:22:42.680 high population centers, and so the rural vote. What are 0:22:42.720 --> 0:22:47.280 we hearing about the voting in the other areas, not 0:22:47.320 --> 0:22:50.639 only besides Temple University, but in the red part of 0:22:50.680 --> 0:22:51.080 the state. 0:22:51.119 --> 0:22:52.640 That's what I'm looking for, an answer to. 0:22:53.280 --> 0:22:55.680 Strong turnout in all of the areas that we want 0:22:55.720 --> 0:22:57.840
