00:02:12.000I am joined now by Jack Posobiec, who is the host of Human Events Daily and also author of the new book, Bulletproof, all about how President Trump has survived not just one, but two assassination attempts.
00:02:26.000We've had a great conversation with Jack recently on that with Charlie.
00:02:30.000You guys are going to want to check out that book.
00:03:03.000Jack, tell our audience where we're at in PA. Yeah, so in Pennsylvania, we've done a really good job there in turning out the Republican early vote in a way that has not been done before.
00:03:14.000Republicans do not early vote in Pennsylvania.
00:03:19.000This isn't the Sun Belt where they've been doing it for years.
00:03:22.000And so Republicans are very wary of this.
00:03:25.000Very wary of certainly of the mail-in ballots.
00:03:28.000However, there's this option that wasn't even official early voting.
00:03:32.000What it was was de facto early voting in person because what you do is you would request a mail-in ballot and then you would turn it in in person at your county board of election or a couple of these satellite offices.
00:04:28.000The Democrats were trying to build a firewall of 400,000 early votes prior to Election Day.
00:04:35.000So early person voting ended yesterday.
00:04:39.000Absentee ballot requests ended yesterday with the exception of two counties, one Lehigh and then another one Bucks might be opening theirs up a little bit later today because of some of the issues that they had yesterday.
00:04:51.000So, they wanted 400,000 votes going into Election Day.
00:04:55.000This is when the big wave is going to come in.
00:04:57.000In 2020, they had a million votes going into Election Day.
00:05:58.000They're saying, look, we were beating them in the early votes.
00:06:01.000We're winning almost two to one outright in terms.
00:06:04.000And keep in mind, these are not polls.
00:06:05.000These are actual votes we're talking about now.
00:06:08.000And they've got a lot of split polls that have come out down the pike over the last couple of days.
00:06:14.000Kamala up one, Trump up one, basically all within the margin of error.
00:06:19.000So everyone is basically saying, It's not so much that Pennsylvania is in the bag for one candidate or another, but that it is a jump ball and that everybody needs to get to the polls.
00:06:29.000Look, I'll just tell you, I've seen more focus and money being spent in Pennsylvania in this cycle than I have in any cycle of my entire life.
00:06:37.000So I obviously grew up in Pennsylvania, spent my entire life there.
00:06:40.000And so this is a $500 million election just in the one state, just in the state of Pennsylvania.
00:06:50.000So you're seeing Kamala Harris blasting the airwaves You cannot turn it on a screen right now, whether it's YouTube or a podcast or anything, without your Spotify, Pandora, whatever you listen to, without hearing a Kamala Harris ad.
00:07:02.000She's got a lot of big money, and so that's going to be driving her people out to the polls, whereas with Trump, it's much more that grassroots energy, and we're seeing a ton of it.
00:07:11.000So I'm seeing upper-class households, lower-class households tend to be where you see Kamala Harris, Harris-Walt signs, but then it's middle-class, just Every single house has a Trump sign up now almost every and people by the way people that have been reaching out to me that I've knew from you know growing up that I had no idea were even interested in politics saying hey Jack where can I get a Trump sign hey Jack how can I get into the Trump rally I'm talking like high school friends all sorts of stuff people who they know that I'm you know kind of in the in the political space but just haven't even
00:07:41.000reached out to me in like 20 years Well, it's a good sign for energy.
00:07:48.000Even though this firewall has not materialized, if you are in PA, we need you to get out to the polls.
00:07:54.000And so it sounds like if you're not in one of those two counties that still has it open for early voting, make a plan on election day to vote.
00:09:17.000Quaker Town Farmers Market is absolutely legendary.
00:09:20.000But what you're seeing there, there's two things.
00:09:22.000First of all, you're seeing a voter who is told that you could come in person and vote, and as long as you were in line by 5 p.m., that you'd be allowed to vote in person.
00:09:30.000Of course, the officer is telling her no.
00:09:33.000This directly countermands the guidance that was put out by the Pennsylvania governor, Josh Shapiro, this guy who tried very, very hard to get on the ticket, but of course was humiliated nationally by Kamala Harris.
00:09:44.000Then second, which a lot of people are missing, by the way, and this also happened, by the way, down in Doylestown, Bucks County.
00:09:51.000Second, Is that person who's giving out the guidance there at the polling place with that badge on?
00:09:57.000I don't know if Phoenix can put that up again.
00:10:03.000That's a Democrat volunteer wearing some kind of voter protection fake badge that they've printed up and that they're manning the polling lines in all They are not licensed to do this.
00:10:31.000By the county, it's completely illegal.
00:10:34.000By the way, this is something Republicans have had a consent decree against them for over 40 years.
00:10:41.000And so the idea that they would be out there posing as fake election officials is very serious.
00:10:46.000And I'm told, by the way, that in Bucks County, in just about actually 15 minutes time here, it's 1 15 Eastern, that in 15 minutes time, the Trump campaign is already suing Bucks County over all of this.
00:10:59.000And that a hearing is going to be taking place in the Bucks County Courthouse regarding this.
00:11:03.000I've personally worked to get in three, maybe even four, affidavits from witnesses who were turned away when the governor had told them not to.
00:11:21.000K-A-L-S-H-I. It's the first legal exchange where you can trade and bet on any event.
00:11:26.000For the first time in 100 years, they got approval to list markets to trade on the outcome of the upcoming election, making it legal to trade on the U.S. presidential election and see who's going to win, Trump or Kamala.
00:11:36.000They have markets on who will win each election, who will win swing states.
00:11:39.000They also have markets on inflation, interest rates, will the government shutdown, and more.
00:11:42.000What's really cool about this platform is you can trade on your opinions to make money or hedge risks that may impact you.
00:12:19.000And it appears that in that last video, the woman was trying to ask that woman, she said, well, you should talk to this gentleman, the police officer.
00:12:26.000So I think she's very aware that she may look official because of the lanyard she's wearing.
00:12:33.000So this is one of those things, these very sneaky things that's happening in PA. Now, I have another video here, same situation, but just really quickly, build it out for us.
00:12:44.000I mean, if you're doing the electoral math, 270 to win, right?
00:12:50.000Democrats see the same thing we're seeing.
00:12:52.000Pennsylvania is critically, critically important for either side building out that 270.
00:12:58.000We should not be surprised to be seeing all these shenanigans in the Keystone State.
00:13:02.000No, look, I've been saying all year, PA is the play, the keystone is the key.
00:13:07.000That's why I've been going up and down Pennsylvania, going to churches in Pennsylvania, working with the Latin masses, the Latin Rite Catholics to try to drive those out as well.
00:13:17.000Pennsylvania Catholics being a huge constituency there, one that's completely up for grabs, by the way, Since Joe Biden is no longer on the ballot and Kamala Harris is just completely anti-Catholic.
00:13:26.000So look, when you look at things, the Sun Belt is turning out great for us.
00:13:31.000Early voting has been phenomenal for Republicans in the Sun Belt.
00:13:34.000But on that 270 to win, it's very hard.
00:13:38.000It is very hard to build a path to the presidency for Donald Trump to 270 without any of the Rust Belt, without that blue wall.
00:13:50.000Kamala Harris, if she wants to win, she's got to sweep the blue wall.
00:13:54.000But if Donald Trump wants to win, he only needs to win one.
00:13:59.000Now, the biggest prize out of all of those is Pennsylvania.
00:14:03.000Pennsylvania only had an 80,000-vote delta back in 2020.
00:14:09.0002016, it was won by Donald Trump, the first time a Republican won Pennsylvania since 1988, when George H.W. Bush was riding off the coattails of Ronald Reagan, so he brought those Reagan Democrats out.
00:14:20.000Now, you talk about the 80,000 vote delta that we just mentioned here.
00:14:26.000They had a 1 million vote reservoir, 1 million vote firewall of the Democrats going into election day in 2020.
00:14:35.000We can have lots of discussions about what they did to build that 1 million vote firewall, but that's what they had.
00:14:43.000Even with one million votes in their firewall in 2020, it only came down to 80,000 because that's how many Republicans showed up and voted on Election Day in 2020.
00:14:53.000So now on 5 November, on 5 November in Pennsylvania, we've got 3.1 million Republicans that were registered Republican, plus lots of right-leaning independents and probably a bunch of Trump-supporting Democrats in the state of Pennsylvania that have yet to vote.
00:15:11.000By the way, the silent majority in 2024 will be Democrats, Democrats who vote for Trump.
00:15:19.000And you're going to see that nationwide, but we'll talk about that a little Later, for Pennsylvania, it is incumbent on—and this is the role of turning point action in groups like the PHAs with Cliff Maloney and early vote action with Scott Pressler and everything that Trump Force 47 is doing—go to those 3.1 million Republicans or just anyone in your circle.
00:15:53.000You need to be that squeaky wheel and that pest everywhere in your chat groups and your family chats.
00:16:02.000And anything you have, if you know anyone, whether it's in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, in the Blue Wall, or any of the other swing states, really anywhere else, and just make sure that you are just driving people out to the polls.
00:16:12.000If anyone needs assistance, you need to be the force multiplier who's providing them assistance.
00:16:17.000I've even thrown out when I was doing War Room this morning, and I threw out, why not Just have people sleep out in front of the polls on Monday night.
00:16:25.000You can totally do that, just like people do for these Trump rallies.
00:16:28.000Hey, if it's warm enough, if you've got a tent or something, go ahead and do it, because we know that 5 November things are going to get crazy, because it's Election Day, we know this is going down, and Josh Shapiro has not said a word about any of this, even though it all went down on Bucks County yesterday.
00:16:44.000There was another instance in Doylestown that you referenced.
00:16:47.000The same situation, police officers put a line in here.
00:16:51.000They closed the line off at 241 while Josh Shapiro was saying you can get in by five.
00:16:56.000If you're in the line by five, you get to vote.
00:16:59.000Give the update on the lawsuit that the RNC is filing.
00:17:24.000We really appreciate the insight into PA. Can you imagine your child being lost alone in the woods for nine days?
00:17:32.000The new movie, Lost on a Mountain in Maine, produced by Sylvester Stallone, is the inspiring true story of 12-year-old Don Fenler, separated from his family in a fast-moving storm and lost in the remote wilderness of northern Maine.
00:17:45.000For nine days, he fights to stay alive with no food or proper clothing.
00:17:48.000He didn't even know the danger he was in.
00:17:50.000By the way, as a parent, this would be just our worst nightmare.
00:17:52.000Don's disappearance captured national headlines, sparking a massive search and rescue effort with hundreds of volunteers, including his own father, who was afraid he'd never see his son again.
00:18:02.000Don't miss the inspirational family adventure film of the year, Lost on a Mountain in Maine, from Blue Fox Entertainment, coming to theaters nationwide on November 1st.

00:18:13.000That is lostonamountaininmainemovie.com.
00:18:18.000All right, so I'm going to welcome in our next guest, and that is Mary Margaret Olihan.
00:18:22.000She's a senior reporter for The Daily Wire.
00:19:03.000Why do you think that the transgender culture war issue is Because not everyone understands how massively impactful this issue is going to be.
00:19:16.000And I think the Trump team has tapped into it because they do get it and they understand and their internal polling is showing them that yes, Americans do deeply care about this issue.
00:19:27.000Kamala Harris and her campaign often talk about how this is something that Trump campaign is weaponizing and it's just weaponizing fear and Americans are more worried about the economy and things like that.
00:19:37.000Americans absolutely are worried about the economy and they're worried about immigration and I would say that those are the main issues that people are focused on.
00:19:45.000But this is, as we're arguing, the sleeper issue.
00:19:48.000American parents are tired of radical ideology being pushed on their kids.
00:19:53.000They don't want men and women's sports, and they don't want irreversible transgender procedures for kids.
00:20:10.000And so one of the first anecdotes we start out in this story with is this ad that the Trump campaign put out saying, Kamala is for they, then.
00:21:12.000Yeah, so doing the research that you've done, maybe you could dissect what I'm not just using that word, I mean it in quotes, crazy these types of messaging are.
00:21:34.000It's crazy to say that illegal aliens should get taxpayer-funded transgender surgeries.
00:21:39.000No one who hears that thinks that's a good idea.
00:21:41.000But that is, in fact, what Kamala endorsed, and that is what she said she would support.
00:21:46.000Now, of course, recently she's been really careful about talking about this because even she realizes this is not resonating with voters.
00:21:53.000But all the Trump campaign had to do was to put that soundbite in an ad and say, look, this is what she supports.
00:22:00.000And I think it's been a boon to the Trump campaign because it's not something you really have to dive into.
00:22:09.000And some of the more artfully contrived phrases that the left uses, like gender-affirming care, those things actually mean transgender surgeries, hormones, and puberty blockers for kids.
00:22:20.000And I think the Trump campaign has been really good about breaking that wall as well and showing people what they're actually talking about.
00:22:27.000So, you know, on the left, there's been a lot more recognition that these very radical left policies that people like Kamala Harris are pushing, maybe they need to tone down the rhetoric there because they're not actually popular with the American people.
00:22:40.000And polling shows that, and potentially, if Donald Trump wins next week, that win will demonstrate that as well.
00:22:47.000Yeah, I think there's a lot of truth to that, actually.
00:22:51.000I'll never forget, as a small aside, I deal with reporters for my day job when I'm not here.
00:22:57.000And I had a dinner with a New York Times reporter.
00:23:01.000This individual goes back and forth between New York and Washington, D.C. It was about 2019.
00:23:06.000And he was telling me that if Republicans wanted to win...
00:23:10.000That we should run hard on the trans...
00:23:15.000That we should run hard on the transgender issue because what he was seeing in New York and in DC was liberal Democrat families that were freaking out about this topic.
00:23:27.000And I think an underappreciated, so you've got the urban elites, the college-educated, urban core, but then you also have, I think, minorities, Mary Margaret, that are also impacted by this.
00:23:41.000And this is one of my favorite moments of this campaign.
00:23:44.000This is from Charlemagne, The God Show, The I don't know if it was the backdrop of football.
00:24:12.000But when you hear the narrator say Kamala supports taxpayer-funded sex changes for prisoners, that one line, I was like, hell no, I don't want my taxpayer dollars going to that.
00:24:35.000And really interestingly, Andrew, I've been hearing that this is the big issue that Trump can reach women on, which maybe that's not surprising to most people.
00:24:43.000It kind of surprised me because we know that Trump has an issue with female voters and Kamala Harris does not at all.
00:24:50.000That's one of her biggest support groups.
00:24:52.000But what a lot of people told me for this story is if you look at polling on it, it's reaching women very, very strongly.
00:25:00.000I think one pollster I talked to said that for women over 50, this is their top issue.
00:25:06.000That was according to the results that he was looking at from recently.
00:25:09.000He said for women under 50, it was their top Especially when we hear that Trump on culture issues is driving women away.
00:25:19.000Well, that might just be on abortion, whereas transgender issues, it really could be something that they're drawn to him on.
00:25:25.000So that's really interesting on the one hand.
00:25:29.000But on the other hand, I think it's really important to highlight that Trump came to this issue because of the grassroots support from families who were pointing out all of these crazy things.
00:25:38.000Like you were saying, that reporter that you were talking to, I find that anecdote really interesting because in liberal New York, I'm surprised to hear that, but maybe we shouldn't be considering how many parents all over the country were furious at what they found out their kids were being exposed to during COVID. You know, the radical gender ideology, critical race theory, pornographic books, all of this.
00:26:00.000And across the country, parents rose up, maybe in Loudoun County first of all, but then all across the country to say, we are not going to put up with this.
00:26:08.000And Glenn Youngkin's victory in Virginia was a really good example of how that kind of thing can get a Republican elected.
00:26:23.000And I think that was a real turning point for this issue, because that was around the time when a lot of Republicans started talking about this topic more and more.
00:26:33.000And I think it was around the time when conservative newsrooms started really leaning into this issue.
00:26:39.000And as a conservative journalist, I'd like to just give us a little hype here.
00:26:42.000We all worked really hard on education stories.
00:26:45.000And I think that's part of the reason that the GOP and Trump himself has been so bolstered and strong in their rhetoric on this topic, because they had the stories to lean back on and say, no, this is not a conspiracy theory.
00:27:06.000And they couldn't have done that without grassroots activists and parents and conservative media.
00:27:11.000Yeah, I mean, I love that you're making that point.
00:27:13.000And it was well made in the piece, by the way.
00:27:16.000And you talk about the rise of conservative activists in this space, like Riley Gaines, who we have a partnership on the Turning Point USA side.
00:28:24.000I love that we just let it breathe, too, right there.
00:28:27.000You know, because the audience, you could just feel it was such a palpable moment.
00:28:32.000I was in the audience that day when she said it, and I remember getting chills because of just how powerful it was being there live, in person, hearing that, and then seeing the crowd response.
00:30:32.000Explain, are you seeing anything in the data or is it polling or is it just more anecdotal?
00:30:37.000Well, I'm not the only one calling it the 2024 sleeper issue.
00:30:40.000The Wall Street Journal actually called it that.
00:30:42.000And that's what we're hearing from people close to the Trump campaign who have polling data that they can look at that's internal.
00:30:49.000What I was told by one person that's close to the Trump campaign is that they would never be messaging so aggressively on this if the messaging didn't match their internal polling.
00:31:00.000One person told me that Tony Fabrizio, who's in charge of the campaign's polling, makes really sure that they're on message with the polling that matches this messaging.
00:31:09.000And that really bolstered to me the idea that the Trump campaign is seeing really strong results on this issue internally as well.
00:31:16.000Penny Nance, the CEO of Concerned Women for America, she's one of the activists that's been behind this issue since way before the GOP was talking about it, way before Trump was talking about it, back when it was very uncool to talk about this issue at all because a lot of people were afraid that it might sound anti-gay or homophobic to talk about it.
00:31:35.000But the reality is that, as the Trump campaign will tell you, they're not talking about anything to do with something that the left might label homophobic or anti-gay.
00:31:44.000They're talking about Keeping kids safe from transgender surgeries.
00:31:47.000They're talking about keeping men out of women's spaces, including locker rooms, restrooms, women's shelters, prisons, you name it.
00:31:55.000And they're talking about keeping radical ideology out of schools.
00:31:58.000What a lot of people told me is the left has just pushed too far on this.
00:32:02.000So a topic that once might have been taboo has been completely normalized in everyday conversation.
00:32:08.000I have a colleague that told me that her father, who never talks about politics, doesn't get into culture issues, was radicalized to go vote because of this issue.
00:32:18.000And that's what I'm hearing across the spectrum from female voters as well.
00:32:22.000They're really worked up, especially moms and grandmas, by this idea that the government is pushing this type of thing on their kids without their knowledge.
00:32:31.000And there was even a New York Times questionnaire that I read yesterday where these reporters were talking to each other about how this is a very real fear among American voters.
00:32:40.000And of course, the New York Times doesn't really believe it's an important fear or a fear that should be taken seriously, but even they acknowledge that this is something that's on top of mind.
00:32:49.000And so that's part of the reason we call it a sleeper issue is because we don't really know and we don't really have evidence right now of how impactful it will be.
00:32:58.000But the more I look into it and the more you talk to people, the more I'm convinced that this is going to play out in a much more impactful way than we might have thought.

00:33:40.000This is a guy that deals in politics, has a lot of these high profile politicians on his show.
00:33:45.000And even that hit him really hard because it just it is Everybody with kids understands and feels that viscerally.
00:33:55.000I hope we're hitting women, the electorate, hard with this messaging because we do need to counter the abortion debate.
00:34:03.000Final 30 seconds, Mary Margaret, please.
00:34:06.000Well, I'd just like to end by saying this is an issue that has really united people.
00:34:10.000I cover abortion, gender, marriage, family, all of these topics, very divisive.
00:34:15.000And I can tell you as a culture reporter, I see people on both sides of the aisle on the abortion issue that come together to combat this issue.
00:34:22.000I see people on both sides of the aisle that are agreeing on this that never would have had anything to say to each other before.
