Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM channel 111 every weekday at noon east.
00:00:12.100
Hey everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show.
00:00:15.520
Well, here we are, one day before the final voters head to the polls.
00:00:21.720
And regardless of the outcome at this point, we can say one thing with certainty, complete certainty.
00:00:26.500
There has never been and probably never will be a campaign quite like 2024.
00:00:32.080
From one candidate surviving not one but two assassination attempts, to another being forced out in what looked very much like a coup,
00:00:40.780
and Democrats installing his replacement without a single voter in their party weighing in.
00:00:46.940
Take a deep breath, because this week is going to be one hell of a ride.
00:00:50.540
Whatever happens, even if we know the result tomorrow night, it won't be over tomorrow night.
00:01:00.780
The Democrats, if Trump wins, will likely say he's illegitimate, he's an insurrectionist, he cannot be installed.
00:01:11.820
And the Republicans will likely have legal challenges akin to what we saw in 2020.
00:01:18.300
And we'll see whether they have the fodder for it.
00:01:21.140
And neither side, I predict, will go quietly into the night unless it is an absolute blowout tonight.
00:01:28.680
And even then, even then, especially on the Dem side, we are thrilled to have you along with us for what will be history in the making.
00:01:36.300
Every day, the rhetoric gets more and more divisive.
00:01:39.780
There's panic, with some people willing to say or do anything if they think it will help their side win.
00:01:43.760
There's so much uncertainty, which explains why so many people are preparing for what may come next.
00:01:48.260
Imagine the possibilities if this descends into chaos.
00:01:51.120
All of this could impact things that we take for granted.
00:01:53.920
Right now, you can get ready with a three-month emergency food kit from My Patriot Supply.
00:01:58.480
It comes with delicious foods like creamy stroganoff, honey wheat bread, and mushroom rice pilaf.
00:02:04.360
The entire kit offers over 2,000 calories every day.
00:02:09.920
Who knows what our country will look like then?
00:02:12.120
Go to preparewithmegan.com right now to order your three-month emergency food kit from My Patriot Supply.
00:02:20.260
First, though, I want to tell you about what's happening tonight, and then a quick programming note for tomorrow.
00:02:29.740
Tonight, we have something big happening, and we are going to do something that we've never done before.
00:02:38.300
Over the weekend, we got an invitation that we never really expected to get, and that was from Team Trump,
00:02:44.840
to show up tonight in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and for yours truly to make some remarks on the president's behalf,
00:02:54.420
or really, more accurately, just to explain why I'm voting for him.
00:03:01.200
So tonight, after the show, I'll be headed to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,
00:03:05.240
where I will appear with Trump at his last Pennsylvania rally before the vote,
00:03:10.920
and I will proudly explain to that audience and beyond why I think it's absolutely essential that he win this election
00:03:20.100
and that we not put Kamala Harris into the Oval Office as our president.
00:03:26.360
I have all sorts of reasons that won't come as any sort of a surprise to the people listening to this show,
00:03:31.620
and I'm going to go through some of that in more detail right now with you.
00:03:36.560
Tonight, I'll only be speaking for a short time, but this is my show, so I have a longer time.
00:03:40.920
Um, and I really gave a lot of thought to this, and I just thought what the media has done to Trump
00:03:50.520
They won't come out and tell you that they're Kamala Harris supporters, but they all are.
00:03:55.940
They want to cloak themselves in this sanctimony of being objective journalists
00:04:02.340
when we all know that they're as biased as they come.
00:04:09.020
So this election, for the first time ever, I told the audience who I'm voting for.
00:04:18.380
Today, I'll explain more fully, and tonight I'll say it to the people in Pennsylvania,
00:04:25.860
the most, or at least one of the most, critical swing states of all.
00:04:30.800
And in particular, I hope women will listen to me.
00:04:34.800
The women, young and old, who are reportedly registering in big numbers right now,
00:04:40.540
especially on the Dem side, I believe, because a lot of them believe the lies they're being told
00:04:45.300
about abortion, the lies they're being told about what Kamala Harris is going to do for you
00:04:53.780
If you missed it, you should go back and listen, because it was more full-throated.
00:05:00.160
So we'll let you know how that goes tomorrow, and wish me luck tonight, and wish Trump luck, more importantly.
00:05:07.160
Tomorrow night, we are going to be joined right here for live coverage of the election results as they come in.
00:05:13.080
More than 20 of your favorites on the MK Show will be joining us, plus special guests,
00:05:18.940
live right here on SiriusXM Triumph Channel 111, and also at youtube.com slash Megan Kelly.
00:05:25.180
We're live in both places, beginning at 8 p.m. as we cover all the election news,
00:05:29.260
the results with instant analysis and reaction.
00:05:34.100
Okay, so I want to get to the other thing that happened over the weekend.
00:05:38.820
Not only did I get that very interesting invitation, but we got the most bizarre submissions on electoral polling
00:05:48.600
that I remember seeing since I got into covering politics.
00:05:55.340
I mean, like diametrically opposed polling from very respected pollsters on the same states
00:06:01.620
and the same groups in their final election polls.
00:06:09.540
First, we're going to take on that shocker of a poll out of Iowa.
00:06:13.140
The Des Moines Register poll has long been considered the gold standard of polling.
00:06:18.080
In June, when President Biden was still in the race, it found Trump running away with this race,
00:06:22.340
ahead by 18 points in that state, which is red.
00:06:25.480
By September, with Vice President Kamala Harris atop the Democratic ticket,
00:06:35.120
Okay, so we've gone from Trump ahead by four to Harris leading in a red state, if you believe
00:06:47.060
It's a seven-point swing from just a couple months ago.
00:06:56.020
Nevertheless, the poll sent shockwaves through political circles.
00:06:59.520
For the record, Mr. Trump won Iowa in both 16 and 20.
00:07:08.560
The Iowa pollster does not reveal her crosstabs.
00:07:14.240
And there is a belief that she has oversampled Democrats in the poll, though she's got a strong
00:07:21.800
She's not always right, but she's got a strong record.
00:07:25.000
Then another Iowa poll over the weekend from our friends over at Emerson, another gold standard,
00:07:35.220
So we'll have to wait and see who's right there.
00:07:38.100
Moving on to the battleground states that we've been talking about for months, we're
00:07:40.780
going to discuss a pair of polls that are also considered among the best.
00:07:47.340
According to that poll, there have been some major shifts in the race.
00:07:50.500
Ms. Harris, they say, now up over Mr. Trump in Nevada, North Carolina, Wisconsin, and Georgia.
00:08:02.320
In its prior polling, former President Trump had been leading in every one of those states
00:08:07.600
This poll finds the two candidates are tied in Pennsylvania and in Michigan.
00:08:16.420
And Mr. Trump is ahead in Arizona, according to this poll, only by four.
00:08:21.740
This is the only state that is outside the margin of error.
00:08:25.460
The New York Times includes this giant asterisk in its reporting of its own poll.
00:08:32.000
They say white Democrats, Democrats were much more likely to respond to their polling than
00:08:41.260
white Republicans, meaning this poll could be grossly underestimating Trump's support yet
00:08:46.860
One would ask, why put it out with that kind of an asterisk?
00:08:50.260
Why would you feel solid about the state of your poll with that kind of an asterisk?
00:08:54.140
I mean, there's only like two main players in this race, and you're telling us you may
00:09:05.040
Shifting gears over to the Atlas Intel polling, which was the most accurate pollster last time
00:09:11.000
In its latest polling of those exact same battleground states we just went through, former President
00:09:23.120
Atlas has Trump up in Nevada, in North Carolina, in Wisconsin, in Georgia, in Pennsylvania,
00:09:31.160
The race is close in all of those states except Nevada and Arizona, where Atlas says he's up
00:09:37.060
All of this is to say, polls are polls, there have been dramatic swings, there will be a
00:09:44.020
lot of hand-rigging today and tomorrow, the only thing you can do about it is vote if you
00:09:49.440
haven't already, and go to sleep tonight knowing no one knows anything about anything.
00:09:55.680
No one knows anything about anything on these polls.
00:10:04.800
And stop worrying about these horse race numbers, which at this point have very low credibility.
00:10:12.620
And when you vote, I urge you to vote for Donald Trump.
00:10:19.960
I know I have a lot of independents who listen to this show.
00:10:23.160
I have a lot of Republicans, too, and I have some Democrats as well, because I hear from
00:10:29.660
And I'm begging those of you who are still thinking about voting for Kamala Harris to
00:10:35.820
I'm going to start with why you should not vote for her.
00:10:38.600
What is Kamala Harris going to do as president?
00:10:44.220
She's used a lot of empty rhetoric to hide who she really is, which is the most radical
00:10:49.680
leftist senator in the U.S. Senate prior to ascending to the vice presidency.
00:10:55.180
She has disavowed few, if any, of her almost Marxist or actual Marxist positions.
00:11:02.920
A few years ago, when she was running for president in 2019, she said she wanted to ban
00:11:10.280
A few years ago, she wanted to take away your private health insurance and put us all
00:11:17.340
A few years ago, she says she wanted to said she wanted to ban gas powered cars.
00:11:23.660
Now she says she doesn't, though she and her boss have got that in the works already for
00:11:32.360
Positions she is still on record to this moment as holding currently include taxpayer funded
00:11:41.180
sex change operations for illegal immigrants and prisoners, a ban on some portion of our red meat
00:11:54.380
Potentially, she's tried to walk that back, though, without explanation.
00:11:58.100
She wants those in the fossil fuel industry to transition out to something else.
00:12:04.040
She wants to eliminate the filibuster to pass the radical Green New Deal.
00:12:09.720
She wants to eliminate the filibuster to pass an abortion rights bill.
00:12:19.760
Let me just say let me just say something, OK, about the abortion.
00:12:23.580
OK, we talked about it on Friday, but I need you to understand this to my pro-choice friends
00:12:27.760
who think she's going to pass a national abortion rights bill, which she is not.
00:12:35.920
Let me explain to you the only way that she could possibly do that.
00:12:38.220
But the only possible way the Democrats are about to lose control of the Senate in all
00:12:42.940
But let's just say they hold on by, you know, a senator or two to the majority.
00:12:48.080
The only way they can get rid of the filibuster is to say to vote.
00:12:51.080
We're getting rid of the filibuster and then to change the standard for a vote in the Senate
00:12:55.440
Right now, you can't get a vote on any legislation unless you have 60 and they neither side ever
00:13:02.540
And that ensures minority rights in the Senate, which may be annoying when you're in the
00:13:07.200
majority, but you love when your party's in the minority.
00:13:10.920
If they change it to just a 51 vote threshold, even if they limit it to just on abortion rights,
00:13:20.440
Let's assume that they have the congressional power to actually pass an abortion rights
00:13:27.160
They don't have the constitutional ability to do that in Congress and the presidency,
00:13:30.240
and it will be struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court as an excess.
00:13:37.100
If you care about abortion, vote for a pro-choice governor and pro-choice state legislators.
00:13:49.940
She pushes through an abortion rights bill in the U.S. Congress, including the U.S. Senate,
00:13:56.960
Let's say somehow they withstand a legal challenge to that bill.
00:14:04.160
And the Roe regime is now established in all 50 states.
00:14:13.460
All the states that have harsher limits now, six-week bans, done, done, done.
00:14:17.920
We're at the Roe regime where it's determined by viability around 24 weeks.
00:14:23.700
And whatever limitations were in place around Roe could stand potentially during the Roe years.
00:14:29.960
What do you think they've just opened the door for?
00:14:33.660
To my pro-choice friends, what do you think they have just opened the door for?
00:14:38.240
That behavior is an acknowledgement that abortion can be regulated at the federal level and that
00:14:48.440
nationwide policy can be set by the party in control with just a 51-vote majority in the
00:14:57.460
Do you really think there will be no time in the future in which we have a Republican pro-life
00:15:03.620
president and a Republican majority in the Senate and a Republican majority in the House
00:15:08.660
that might be inclined to pass a nationwide ban?
00:15:15.120
Do you really think that's such an impossibility that you want to get rid of minority rights
00:15:20.900
in the Senate, which means getting rid of the filibuster?
00:15:25.540
Right now, the majority of states still allow abortion, still follow the Roe regime.
00:15:32.820
A handful of small, deep red states have gone much more restrictive on it.
00:15:37.460
And the women in those states will have to make a choice about leaving if this is a big
00:15:41.580
issue for them, getting abortion drugs mailed to them, or just traveling to another state
00:15:47.300
But the vast majority of women in America will have absolutely no trouble procuring an abortion
00:15:54.240
But if the Democrats, including Kamala Harris, get rid of the filibuster in the Senate and
00:16:00.080
say they can take a vote on abortion with just 51 votes and manage to pass a national abortion
00:16:05.040
regime, they have opened the door, they have greenlit the ability of the Republicans to come
00:16:10.860
back when they're in power and do exactly the opposite if they take power.
00:16:17.040
The better and correct legally analysis is that the U.S. Congress does not have the power
00:16:31.080
Post-Dobbs, it is a state-by-state matter, and that's exactly as it should be.
00:16:37.780
That's exactly where both sides should want it to remain.
00:16:41.440
So her saying she wants to eliminate the filibuster to pass an abortion rights bill is extremely
00:16:54.560
I urge you, women who are about to vote on this issue, no one is telling you that.
00:17:10.220
No good will come to you in getting rid of the filibuster and strong arming through an
00:17:21.740
She apparently no longer wants to decriminalize illegal border crossings, but I'm not sure
00:17:30.600
She certainly hasn't committed to any deportations of the between 10 and 20 million illegals who
00:17:47.560
She said she wanted a mandatory buyback program for guns in America, which would also likely
00:17:52.840
You can't say retroactively that something is unlawful.
00:17:58.920
I have my gun, and on Monday it's legal, and on Tuesday it's illegal, and Kamala Harris
00:18:06.620
Now, under pressure as she ran in this campaign, she claims she owns a gun.
00:18:13.300
And she doesn't want a mandatory buyback program, right, because it's illegal.
00:18:16.760
But she does back an assault weapons ban, which would make even certain kinds of semi-automatic
00:18:23.560
We have between 300 and 400 million of them in the United States.
00:18:27.740
That's exactly how do you plan on implementing that.
00:18:30.520
She wants public funding of health care for illegals.
00:18:33.280
I don't want to pay for the dental work of the illegals who are killing our children.
00:18:40.680
I don't want the lure to the other illegals who are thinking about coming here once she
00:18:45.760
reopens our borders, which she absolutely will.
00:18:48.500
Now they find out that they can get these government checks to get housing, they can get government
00:18:53.100
checks to get food, and they can get government checks to get benefits, to get health care
00:19:00.480
Most Americans can barely pay for their own health care, never mind the health care of the
00:19:04.960
people pushing the fentanyl down our college kids' throats.
00:19:08.000
Culturally, she says she wants us to be as woke as possible.
00:19:24.940
And you can talk about if you're the wokest or woker, but just stay more woke than less
00:19:37.600
She invited men in dresses with beards to the White House.
00:19:46.800
In they come, six foot four man in a dress behaving like a schoolgirl with his beard and
00:19:58.300
She allowed men with fake breasts, posing as women, to expose those breasts on the White
00:20:08.660
She wants to be inclusive of these sick people at the people's house.
00:20:13.260
She thinks Rachel Levine is a woman and has no problem with him pushing gender transitions
00:20:20.340
on minors, even when he's been told, as it came out within the past two weeks, that the
00:20:24.860
evidence suggests, even within the transmedical community, that they know these kids can't
00:20:32.860
Kamala Harris raised money to bail out BLM rioters in Minnesota who hurt civilians and
00:20:38.480
She told Jacob Blake, who threatened cops with a knife, that she was proud of him.
00:20:46.000
And don't think for one second she has checked that at the White House door.
00:20:50.760
She just hasn't been center stage for these four years.
00:20:53.040
She's a big believer in equity, which means we all have a right to end up in the same
00:21:00.960
place, irrespective of how much hard work goes into it or merit goes into it.
00:21:08.720
So there's a big difference between equality and equity.
00:21:12.200
Equality suggests, oh, everyone should get the same amount.
00:21:15.820
The problem with that, not everybody's starting out from the same place.
00:21:19.660
So if we're all getting the same amount, but you started out back there and I started out
00:21:24.000
over here, we could get the same amount, but you're still going to be that far back
00:21:29.840
It's about giving people the resources and the support they need so that everyone can
00:21:36.020
be on equal footing and then compete on equal footing.
00:21:41.080
Equitable treatment means we all end up at the same place.
00:21:50.080
Your neighbor has a right to your job, your home, and your things, even if he doesn't work
00:22:01.620
I could have shown you 40 sound bites of her saying that.
00:22:11.880
She does not believe in merit because she has not advanced on merit.
00:22:30.800
She got into the San Francisco DA's office and then began an affair with the most powerful
00:22:35.540
man in California politics who was some 40 years her senior.
00:22:42.160
He paved the way for her to become DA, the top job in the DA's office, and there began
00:22:50.720
She became vice president because she is a black woman.
00:22:57.640
No one in the Biden White House believed in her.
00:23:04.340
She made a fool of herself for four years as VP, and even Barack Obama knew it.
00:23:12.180
He was one of the last people to come on board, reportedly, on Kamala Harris replacing Biden
00:23:17.800
on the ticket because he's smart enough to know she can't do it.
00:23:23.240
She is a bully who lost more than 92% of her staff, more than 92% of her staff.
00:23:31.200
They left in droves alleging that she was abusive, lazy, would not do the work, and then would
00:23:39.000
This is a report from Microsoft News that embodies some of those facts.
00:23:45.780
Facing a 92% staff turnover, Vice President Kamala Harris reportedly has a reputation as
00:23:54.640
An analysis from Open the Books, a political tracking source, shows that only four of the
00:23:58.920
71 staffers hired by Harris during her first year in office remain in the job, the rest
00:24:05.980
An analysis shows Harris' Senate office, too, had the ninth-highest staff turnover rate out
00:24:11.820
of 114 senators who served between 2017 and 2020.
00:24:16.040
Reporting indicates that she would berate those working under her in expletive, heavy rants.
00:24:21.340
This is all before she ran for president, at least this time around.
00:24:27.220
This is when she was running the first time, and they still wanted to report honestly on
00:24:30.220
her because they recognized she was too radical.
00:24:34.060
I have never seen an organization treat its staff so poorly, Kelly Mellenbacher, former
00:24:39.460
state operations director on Kamala Harris' presidential campaign, said in a letter shared
00:24:48.420
In June of 2021, Politico, citing a political report, spoke to 22 individuals familiar with
00:24:53.320
Harris' VP office, who all claimed that her team was experiencing, quote, low morale, porous
00:24:57.900
lines of communication, and diminished trust among aides and senior officials, quote, it's
00:25:02.300
not a place where people feel supported, but a place where people feel that they are treated
00:25:09.420
A Biden administration official claimed Harris was responsible, quote, it all starts at the
00:25:14.960
That sentiment was shared by Gil Duran, an ex-aid to Harris who worked in her AG's office
00:25:19.840
and quit after five months, quote, what is the common denominator through all of this,
00:25:25.300
Multiple staffers who worked for Harris before she was vice president told the Washington
00:25:29.880
Post in December 2021 how she had reportedly refused to prepare for public appearances and
00:25:37.200
then she would blame her aides when she underperformed.
00:25:41.020
Quote, it's clear with Harris that you're not working with someone who is willing to do
00:25:47.300
With Kamala, you have to put up with a constant amount of soul-destroying criticism and also her
00:25:51.780
own lack of confidence, so you are constantly sort of propping up a bully, and it's not
00:25:58.860
In the summer of 2021, reported by CNN, Harris was said to have been prepped extensively by
00:26:04.140
her team on how she could respond to questions about why she had not yet visited the southern
00:26:08.920
border despite her role as White House border czar.
00:26:11.260
When the time came to deliver her answer, Harris blew it in that now infamous interview with
00:26:36.200
He's all that, all of it, because of his rhetoric, nasty rhetoric.
00:26:43.860
What happened to all the reporting about what a bully jerk she is to the people who are trying
00:26:52.020
What a lazy, know-nothing, do-nothing candidate.
00:26:56.480
This woman has run for president on nothing other than empty words.
00:27:08.280
I know you don't need the reminder, but here it is.
00:27:14.040
Having the right to have aspirations and dreams and ambitions.
00:27:20.300
If you have the dreams and the ambitions and the aspirations of what I believe you do,
00:27:29.680
what I know to be the spirit and character of the American people.
00:27:37.160
I believe in the ambition, the aspirations, the dreams of the American people.
00:27:50.560
But not everyone necessarily has access to the resources that can help them fuel those dreams
00:28:03.940
She is trying to fool you into believing she's a, quote, generic Democrat because a generic
00:28:08.120
Democrat is shown in these polls as beating Trump.
00:28:12.340
She is a San Francisco liberal who will pull this country even further to the left than it's
00:28:18.440
She will triple down on race essentialism, the trans madness, unnecessary surgeries and
00:28:24.900
scandalous sterilization of minors, exclusion of parents from their kids' schools where they
00:28:30.640
are having soft porn pushed on them in the libraries and in the classrooms, not to mention the subjugation
00:28:47.100
It's not closed, but got more closed three months prior to the election so that Joe Biden
00:28:56.420
But why would they go three and a half years without doing anything?
00:29:00.480
Why would they take office and pass dozens of executive orders, sign dozens of executive
00:29:06.260
orders, opening the border and then let it sit there for three and a half years as 10 to
00:29:11.180
20 million illegals cross the southern border if they actually cared about the border?
00:29:15.960
They only put that stopgap in there so that they could win the election and then they will
00:29:25.980
They tell us they think the open border is, quote, humane, humane.
00:29:44.760
As corporate America sees its taxes skyrocket, you will lose jobs.
00:29:49.340
The inflation pain she and Joe Biden caused will be coupled with the loss of your job and
00:29:57.040
And God help you if when you hit the unemployment line, you're white or a man or God forbid both.
00:30:06.640
If you check those boxes, you're not in line at all.
00:30:10.200
In fact, you're to blame for all of our problems.
00:30:12.680
It is a modern day form of reparations that she is unleashing on American men without owning
00:30:22.500
And by the way, her push for reparations is yet another policy position.
00:30:32.940
She is not a smart person and far from a deep thinker.
00:30:46.060
phone call will leave her paralyzed with fear and indecision.
00:30:49.360
She will fail in her negotiations with our adversaries because she cannot think on her
00:30:54.540
The presidency is not a job you can do for four years with training wheels.
00:30:59.300
At some point, you have to make important calls in the moment.
00:31:07.380
She couldn't even outsmart the ladies of The View.
00:31:13.620
Her cackle and unfunny jokes have a deleterious effect on her image.
00:31:19.080
And that image cannot be that of our president.
00:31:22.860
People don't respect her as they must, as they must our president and and our first female
00:31:33.400
The first woman to become the American president must be someone whose intelligence is unassailable,
00:31:44.120
whose facility with the spoken word is something to admire, who can make a point sharply and
00:31:52.820
with ease and with substance and with substance without breaking a sweat.
00:31:59.440
We have had female leaders in the world just like this.
00:32:06.600
Here's one you have to establish very clear limits on the role of government and really, you know, politicians, I think, should sometimes just be a little bit more modest about their abilities than they are.
00:32:27.460
I believe that we were going towards a way of life in which people were constantly looking to the state to solve their problems and to do things for them.
00:32:39.660
You know, when the state does everything for you, it will soon take everything from you.
00:32:45.380
You will then have no basis for personal freedom, political freedom, nor economic freedom.
00:32:53.180
I saw it going much too far and I think it would have gone even further had I not won that 1979 election too far ever to pull it back.
00:33:03.860
That, of course, Margaret Thatcher, prime minister in the UK and someone who, even if you hated her politics, you could not challenge her intelligence.
00:33:11.980
They say Kamala Harris will break barriers, the first woman president, but her election will set women back decades because she is not a smart person.
00:33:22.760
The first female president must be someone our little girls can actually look up to.
00:33:28.280
It must be someone who neither side can question when it comes to her credentials and her ability to do the job.
00:33:36.360
Otherwise, there won't be another one for years.
00:33:42.960
Her incompetence will be chalked up to the fact that she is female.
00:33:48.520
This is about to set us back, not push us forward.
00:33:53.560
Someone should break this barrier and that person should not and cannot be this person.
00:34:07.240
He's not without his flaws and everyone knows that.
00:34:10.680
But the reasons that this thing is even close between the two of them are twofold.
00:34:21.260
I already made clear the abortion thing on this Friday show and what I just discussed above.
00:34:26.260
Do not vote for the presidency based on abortion politics.
00:34:33.180
When Dobbs was decided in June of 2022, Biden and Harris were in office.
00:34:41.260
The Democrats controlled the Senate and the House.
00:34:47.160
If Dobbs could be effectively overruled by federal legislation, why didn't they do it?
00:34:54.400
Don't you think they would have done it if they could have?
00:35:00.420
They knew at some level this would be struck down.
00:35:04.800
They knew also that they didn't have the votes.
00:35:11.500
Kyrsten Sinema was there, who did not appear too keen on getting rid of minority rights in the Senate.
00:35:21.760
It's not going to happen for all the reasons that I've outlined.
00:35:25.160
Don't vote for president based on anything having to do with abortion.
00:35:33.160
But the president can do a lot outside of the abortion field.
00:35:37.740
The president has a lot of responsibilities that may and will directly affect your life.
00:35:42.940
Before I get to that, a word on Trump's personality.
00:35:54.480
He goes after his enemies with a particular flair.
00:36:02.980
He's strong in his language and he's strong, period.
00:36:07.160
Who in modern day America has had more thrown at them than Donald Trump?
00:36:12.680
A vile media that lies about him at every turn, calling him Hitler, a Nazi, a fascist,
00:36:19.000
Goebbels, smearing his family, four criminal prosecutions, multiple civil suits that could
00:36:25.600
cost him his business, some courtesy of the Biden-Harris DOJ, which they had go after their
00:36:31.820
chief political rival, and then have the nerve to look at all of you and say, he's going
00:36:44.860
They stole his first term with that wild goose chase based on the Clinton campaign's
00:36:53.140
Two impeachments, assassination attempts, including one that killed a beloved supporter.
00:36:58.300
They call him Hitler on magazine covers and in so-called mainstream news, like it's, you
00:37:10.640
They call him a corporate fraudster, a monster.
00:37:13.740
And none of that gets called out as crass or too much.
00:37:21.000
If you ask the media that's leading people to believe he is all these things.
00:37:25.580
How can we look at him and fairly say, well, he doesn't sound like all the others.
00:37:38.240
If he can sometimes come across as crass or cutting, it is truly because he has to be.
00:37:45.420
He is constantly facing the most vicious of attacks possible.
00:37:51.160
He grew up in the cutthroat construction industry, which is bare knuckled.
00:38:04.680
Haven't we had enough of weak American presidents from the Barack Obama apology tour to the Joe
00:38:11.520
Biden foreign policy fecklessness to Kamala Harris's empty headed word salads?
00:38:17.240
We are projecting weakness to all of our adversaries and weakness is provocative.
00:38:25.860
We need someone strong to represent us, to fight for us, not someone who reads scripted lines and
00:38:31.700
memorize soundbites and refuses to say anything other than I'm from a middle class family and
00:38:39.440
The same guy who says Adam Schiff is the enemy from within is the guy who had the guts to stand
00:38:45.460
by Brett Kavanaugh when vicious leftists tried to ruin this honorable and decent man.
00:38:50.980
The same guy who has the insult comic show up at the MSG rally is the guy who dismantled all of
00:38:58.680
the DEI programs in the federal government, who restored due process rights for men on college
00:39:05.100
campuses, who passed the anti-sex trafficking law and who said in one famous debate, I really think
00:39:12.080
we've gotten too politically correct in this country.
00:39:18.780
Sometimes it leads to a blow up for him, but I think net net the country agrees with him.
00:39:24.600
He's the guy who pushed the leader of Montenegro out of the way when he was standing in front
00:39:33.580
He's the guy who threatened the Taliban leader that he knew where he lived, who told the generals,
00:39:41.940
Bring in the enlisted guys so I can hear from them.
00:39:54.740
He loves America, notwithstanding what they tell you.
00:40:07.140
Who that did would put on that McDonald's outfit and serve the fries or do the garbage
00:40:25.080
He can't handle all of it because crime is generally handled at the local level.
00:40:28.720
But he will rail against the local election of soft on crime DAs and make sure at the federal
00:40:33.340
level that our enforcement priorities are straight.
00:40:36.340
He may get to appoint another Supreme Court justice if a justice retires or, God forbid,
00:40:40.600
And the courts have been the last vestige of fighting the leftist excess from affirmative
00:40:46.700
action in universities to forced speech among private citizens.
00:40:53.100
This court has stood up time and time again for beloved, treasured American principles like
00:40:59.280
non-discrimination, even if the group being discriminated against is white, and Americans'
00:41:06.480
free speech rights, which include no mandated speech.
00:41:11.240
You cannot make me say I support anything, whether it's BLM or someone's pronouns.
00:41:18.540
This court has stricken a blow to the administrative state, the deep state, cutting the power significantly
00:41:30.040
Who's on that high court and the lower federal courts matters a lot.
00:41:36.540
There will be hundreds of appointments coming over the next four years, and it's the one area
00:41:41.280
in which a conservative or a Republican's legacy can continue to reign, even when he or she's
00:41:50.740
The economy remains the number one, sometimes two issue for virtually all Americans.
00:41:59.200
He did use tariffs, but the left is now telling you will tax America to its eyeballs.
00:42:03.560
If they were so bad, why did Biden leave them in place?
00:42:05.400
Trump cut taxes, yes, for the billionaires, but a far greater percentage cut for the lower
00:42:12.020
and the working in the middle classes, far greater percentages cut of their taxes.
00:42:27.180
Businesses thrived and hired and promoted and gave raises.
00:42:31.440
The economy grew at some 2.5 percent greater than under Obama.
00:42:35.400
Who's now claiming he's to thank for Trump's great numbers.
00:42:39.900
Trump grew manufacturing jobs by 400,000, a promise kept to the working class men and
00:42:48.400
Median household incomes grew and inequality diminished, according to the Wall Street Journal,
00:42:55.140
And the poverty rate among black Americans fell below 20 percent for the first time since World
00:43:05.820
He made the unemployment rate for blacks go under 6 percent for the first time in 50 years.
00:43:19.100
The media lies about Trump like nothing we've ever seen before.
00:43:27.420
And the messaging these past few weeks has been truly disheartening, even for me, who is
00:43:32.020
extremely jaded over their performance to begin with.
00:43:39.400
I mean, we've we've truly gotten to the point where you can't believe anything they tell you.
00:43:44.420
Barack Obama was out on the stump this weekend repeating the very fine people on both sides
00:43:55.300
It's been fact checked by Snopes, a left wing organization.
00:44:04.180
You know, just listen to the original soundbite and you will hear Trump make very, very clear
00:44:08.680
that he didn't say that, that he was specifically condemning
00:44:12.720
the white nationalists appearing at that Charlottesville rally.
00:44:17.360
But they continue to peddle these lies because they know very few will fact check them.
00:44:24.800
All of this is why I'm going to support Donald Trump tonight and have supported him in this
00:44:30.280
election with my vote and why I said yes to the invitation, because what we've gotten
00:44:37.220
is a mountain of lies from these dishonest brokers in the media who go out there and try
00:44:44.940
to claim that they're objective and nonpartisan and spew nonsense, nonsense about her and him.
00:44:52.400
There's very little fact checking and there are very few honest brokers left.
00:44:56.780
And so the American populace goes to the votes, the voting booths tomorrow with one arm tied
00:45:08.360
People I know and love who pay fairly close attention to politics still don't know all of
00:45:14.400
the lies, smart people, because of course I get it.
00:45:19.500
You're not reading news eight to 10 hours a day.
00:45:24.100
You're not working tirelessly to fact check these people.
00:45:30.380
Like I can't, you know, I'm just going to go on gut instinct.
00:45:33.740
But if I can do anything to set the record straight on what we're actually looking at here,
00:45:38.620
And I hope that you will not only vote tomorrow, but if you are in one of the critical swing
00:45:45.080
states, you will take five friends and get them to the polls.
00:45:49.740
Make sure, make sure they're voting for Trump and then get them to the polls because this
00:45:57.420
I do not believe that it's a runaway either way for her or for him right now.
00:46:04.640
I think the polls really would show us that and even, even Atlas is not showing, you know,
00:46:14.060
Right now, what we're seeing is those low propensity male voters who Trump's re-election
00:46:19.400
or election is depending on are spending more time than we'd like on the couch, but they
00:46:30.260
And if you don't get up and grab your buddies and get to the polls, she'll become the president.
00:46:43.020
Get to the polls and women who want to support themselves, their children and their husbands,
00:46:52.740
And remember what I said about abortion and Trump's rhetoric.
00:47:05.580
Vote according to your conscience and your heart and understand this really is a before
00:47:15.860
We don't know how it's going to land, but we still can control it.
00:47:21.880
So that's my overview of the 2024 race as it now stands.
00:47:29.760
I heard somebody say on the Dem side, I read, I think it was in the New York Times, that some
00:47:38.260
I think that describes how I've heard the Republicans describe their feelings as well.
00:47:46.580
I've spoken with people deep in Team Trump who feel very confident.
00:47:50.460
They recognize it's tight, but they absolutely reject things like that Ann Seltzer, Des Moines
00:48:00.940
I mean, there's certainly good numbers coming out of states like Nevada on the early vote.
00:48:05.580
There are more Republicans registered in the United States of America than there are Democrats.
00:48:11.260
We've had more for the first time in years, more Republicans are in the country than our
00:48:18.760
No, but he's in a much better position than he was even four years ago, given these voter
00:48:24.640
registration numbers and Republicans are leaning into early voting, which is helpful.
00:48:28.900
Those votes are banked, but that doesn't alleviate the obligation on day of.
00:48:34.300
And also, frankly, the obligation to watch the polls and make sure that this thing is handled
00:48:42.440
And I know Team Trump is dispatching many poll watchers and has been working on many over
00:48:48.400
the past four years to try to shore up what they believe are serious integrity problems.
00:48:53.320
And he's got the help of some, some governors, like in a state like Florida, like in a state
00:49:01.920
Up next, Steve Bannon is here and we're going to get his take on where this thing stands.
00:49:07.140
Tomorrow, we are also going to bring you not only what happened tonight at the rally, but

00:50:46.780
He's also a former chief strategist for President Trump.
00:50:49.920
Steve, welcome back to the show and welcome back to civilization from your stint in the
00:50:55.920
I heard your reaction that it only made you stronger and more determined to fight.
00:51:00.020
You know, the last contact with the outside world I had besides my little press conference
00:51:08.000
I did your show and then went into prison the next day, I think, the day after.
00:51:23.620
At 70 years old, you don't get the opportunity to really challenge yourself or to be in a
00:51:34.080
There's a lot of dangerous people there, but there are also some good people.
00:51:38.000
So I had a very intense experience over four months and I learned a lot.
00:51:41.720
I just observed, watched, and learned and learned so much.
00:51:46.540
And quite frankly, understood six weeks into there how and why Kamala Harris was going to
00:51:53.660
So on the political side, it was a real awakening for me in certain areas.
00:52:00.220
Well, you see in this early voting, you see the problem.
00:52:07.520
African-American men and Hispanic men are not voting for Kamala Harris.
00:52:11.080
Five or six weeks as I started to teach, I started to teach civics and government to
00:52:16.660
the inmates in the education department at Danbury.
00:52:19.820
It was very evident because she is, well, they refer to her as the queen of mass incarcerations.
00:52:25.240
And President Trump came with this first step back, which really would incentivize nonviolent
00:52:30.180
drug dealers, which are, you have a lot of Hispanic and young African-American men there
00:52:34.340
to get into that system and to try to better themselves, have a flawless record in prison
00:52:42.540
You know, she hasn't, you know, the Biden regime hasn't, hasn't really implemented any
00:52:48.400
And they see her as not deporting the really hardened criminal drug dealers coming in from
00:52:55.600
And they're actually starting to show up in prisons now.
00:53:03.180
Yet the first step back, which President Trump did, and the reason that Kamala Harris and
00:53:06.920
Biden are not doing it, and the inmates know that, it's a political win for Trump.
00:53:11.580
So I found out while I was there, not that these guys are going to vote for Trump.
00:53:18.240
I think up to 30%, maybe African-American men, maybe 50% Hispanic would actually vote for
00:53:23.760
Trump, but she's not going to get an African-American male or Hispanic vote.
00:53:29.060
You see the numbers coming out of Pennsylvania where it's in free fall.
00:53:33.980
So she has a massive problem with their coalition that I was able to really learn about and really
00:53:40.840
understand, you know, the job, you know, they blame them for the illegal alien invasion
00:53:46.200
and particularly in the cities where jobs, the wages have come down because what they
00:53:51.120
tried to do from the Federal Reserve and the Biden regime, this is what they did.
00:53:56.000
Wall Street doesn't want one person deported, not one.
00:53:59.080
And I learned that in this prison from young Black and Hispanic inmates.
00:54:06.620
And the only statement I put out, 26 September, I put out a pretty long statement, said victories
00:54:13.020
And I walked through the politics of joy to her pivot to the, you know, nightfalls in
00:54:20.320
But that the mass incarcerations that Black men are not going to vote for, Hispanic men
00:54:25.920
And if they don't vote for her, she's not going to be president of the United States.
00:54:30.600
They don't have to vote for Trump, but if they don't come out and they lower her percentage
00:54:44.960
There's not enough Swifties out there to make that up.
00:54:51.860
If we are to win this, I think it's going to be one of the biggest elements of it.
00:54:55.220
Okay, so back up and explain what you mean when you say you see those numbers coming
00:54:59.620
out of Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, and I think you may have said Georgia.
00:55:04.620
Because most of us have not been following the data as closely as you.
00:55:11.640
Let's say that they had one point, I think 1.7 million early votes or 1.5 million early
00:55:21.560
They're 700,000 short of where they were in 2020.
00:55:26.240
The gap, the starting gap in the whole is only 300,000 votes, 350,000 votes.
00:55:43.860
Right now, if you look at the data, if you look at the data, they are, you know, they've
00:55:49.480
they've had 700,000 fewer early votes than they had before.
00:55:54.360
And these were low propensity voters that voted because of the pandemic.
00:55:57.140
Now, remember, in 2020, that number was always, I felt fishy because throughout the country,
00:56:07.840
We picked up 15 House seats against Nancy Pelosi.
00:56:16.220
You're telling me that Biden got 81 million votes where Obama just got 60.
00:56:27.120
In 22, the House, in winning the House, let's leave that aside, the individuals, if you look
00:56:33.800
at the popular vote, we won the popular vote of Republicans by five or six million votes
00:56:44.000
And they said, well, Steve, they only hate, they won't vote for House races.
00:56:48.520
But in this, in Pennsylvania, there's 750 or 800,000 votes short of where they were in
00:57:10.640
So and if you look in the in the if you go into the depth of that, I think it's 80,000
00:57:20.700
Black men have not have not voted who would normally vote.
00:57:26.720
So the numbers in the in the that's why she's going back to Philadelphia.
00:57:35.800
She's done better with the credential class, college educated woman.
00:57:38.800
But their basic coalition is not coming together.
00:58:00.280
So this is hand to hand combat tomorrow in delivering game day voters.
00:58:06.040
This is why she's going back and forth between Wisconsin and and and in Pennsylvania and in
00:58:14.440
She's going to Allentown, which is a Hispanic majority town.
00:58:18.400
She's going back to core constituencies, not try to expand to try to get the coalition together.
00:58:26.060
So I think, look, it's all about delivery tomorrow, but the early vote numbers are catastrophic.
00:58:31.920
Part of this, Megan, which they don't talk about, is what the the architecture of the electorate
00:58:37.580
is very different today than it was in 2020 or even 2016.
00:58:42.300
The voter registration of people like Scott Presler and all of these small grassroots groups
00:58:49.840
that had no money and no support have really dramatically changed.
00:58:54.480
What is the architecture of the electorate that will be there tomorrow?
00:59:01.500
And those people that register, although they're low propensity because they just registered,
00:59:06.800
they're going to vote and they ain't going to vote for Nikki Haley's candidate, you know,
00:59:11.920
Kamala Harris or Liz Cheney's candidate Kamala Harris.
00:59:16.840
Now, the thing that's making a lot of people nervous on the right, two things, the Iowa poll
00:59:22.200
by Ann Seltzer, Des Moines, Des Moines Register.
00:59:24.340
And secondly, this news out of Pennsylvania, citing here from NBC that they've had a ton
00:59:32.080
of new registered voters who are Democrat winner women, I should say, Democrat women, Democrats,
00:59:41.020
55,000 total new voters, Republicans, 32.5 thousand total new voters.
00:59:50.540
So they're saying that the Democrat women are outpacing all the other voting groups in terms
00:59:56.300
of their new registered voters who have filed early vote, I think.
01:00:01.900
So they're, you know, they're feeling very confident about Pennsylvania because of that.
01:00:06.540
And I think a lot of Republicans are worried about that.
01:00:09.600
You saw Charlie Kirk tweet out, if these guys stay on their couches, she's going to win.
01:00:16.400
If you don't want Kamala Harris as the president, get out.
01:00:20.040
And I think he was specifically talking about Pennsylvania.
01:00:22.780
So can you address first Pennsylvania, and then we'll talk about that Iowa poll?
01:00:27.880
Look, if we don't, on the eve of this, we've perfectly positioned this.
01:00:33.220
If you get out and you're a force multiplier, not just you have to own your own vote, but
01:00:38.120
you also have to bring the people you know, the 10 in your circle, or you have to go and
01:00:42.540
help canvas today, today's still the most active day for political work.
01:00:46.560
And in between interviews, I'm giving motivational talks to people all day long.
01:00:54.860
And yes, they have, towards the end, signed up women.
01:00:59.860
And you have to assume this, the female is an anti-patriarchy, anti-Trump vote.
01:01:07.320
Now, some of the patriarchy inside their own coalition is not showing up for them.
01:01:14.660
But that means tomorrow, you have to represent, and you have to be a force multiplier.
01:01:21.220
And my concern has been from the beginning, the complacency, potential complacency.
01:01:28.700
In 2016, you could argue that Hillary Clinton lost as much as we won.
01:01:35.680
Because as you know, you remember, and you remember the exit polls where we were losing.
01:01:41.220
Every day, they were blowing me up on Morning Joe.
01:01:43.220
Why is he spending time in Wisconsin and Michigan and Pennsylvania?
01:01:55.460
So on election night in 2016, we sat down as the anchors and producers and the behind-the-scenes
01:02:03.240
teams with the decision desk people, Arnon and Michigan and all those guys who ran the
01:02:08.560
decision desk for Fox, as we did on every election cycle.
01:02:14.660
So we sat down on 2016, and it's 5 o'clock at night when you have this meeting.
01:02:20.020
They've just gotten the first big round of exit poll data where their people have been
01:02:27.540
They're not allowed to communicate outside of their locked box.
01:02:29.920
And finally, they're released, and they can go home to their news organizations and tell
01:02:34.980
And it's a fun moment because as the news anchor, you get your first secret look-see
01:02:39.880
into how the vote is looking, and then you go out in the air and you're not allowed to
01:02:45.540
But with a wink and a nod, you can kind of suggest to the audience how things are looking.
01:02:49.480
It's not until the actual vote starts coming in and the polls close that you are allowed
01:02:55.980
But I will never forget, Steve, at 5 o'clock in that meeting with Fox News in 2016, Arnon
01:03:01.400
Mishkin said, it's going to be a very good night for Hillary Clinton.
01:03:05.440
And all the data they had gotten so far was super pro-Hillary.
01:03:16.420
And so when we went out in the air that night, we 100% had been led to believe this was going
01:03:30.060
So at 5 o'clock, we get it leaked from one of the news sources.
01:03:33.500
And, you know, I've been telling Trump 100% metaphysical certainty.
01:03:39.860
Ma'am, we are, I think, up by two points in Ohio or even in Ohio, up by two points in
01:03:48.740
It's almost a 350 to 400 electoral vote landslide.
01:03:52.940
We're standing on a balcony freezing with the wind.
01:03:55.720
And then we look and I go, I said, can we have screwed this?
01:04:03.780
And so we called Drudge at that time as an ally.
01:04:17.900
We said, hey, look, you know, Drudge says this.
01:04:23.980
And he said, hey, look, we left everything on the field.
01:04:27.920
But I got to tell you, Megan, at five o'clock at night when they give us those exit polls, first of all, she was going to be named president at nine o'clock at night.
01:04:37.780
But it shows you, and this is even for tomorrow, it's about people showing up.
01:04:43.600
Obviously, people were intimidated, didn't want to say they voted for Trump to the exit poll guys because they're very good.
01:04:49.780
That's what I'm thinking now is that you've got to play through.
01:04:52.080
You've got to just you've got to go through the tape.
01:04:53.880
What happened is Robbie Mook and the people in Brooklyn, as you remember, were very arrogant.
01:05:03.100
They just had this arrogance that they were trying to go to Arizona and Georgia and expand it.
01:05:07.160
They wanted to get 350 or 400 electoral votes to give her a mandate.
01:05:15.060
And I think the only thing I've got is people that are, oh, we're going to win the popular vote.
01:05:19.620
We're going to win Virginia and New Mexico or New Hampshire.
01:05:44.820
Anything above it, no matter if we get to 300 or close to 300, which I think we might be able to do if we deliver, they're never going to say we have a mandate.
01:05:56.140
So to me, tomorrow is the little guy turning out.
01:06:07.040
It's just on the mega movement to deliver this tomorrow.
01:06:26.340
I mean, Drudge was a palette because Andrew was his editor for for many years.
01:06:34.860
Those stories where he would pull stuff the way that the site was, it was a palette that he painted on.
01:06:42.300
And they had a whole different way of of of just presenting news that was very, very unique.
01:06:49.320
And no, whoever's running it now is clearly not Drudge.
01:07:01.200
But even more than that, it's not the not the tool.
01:07:08.960
So do we do we know if it's still Matt or if he sold it?
01:07:15.600
The last time I saw Matt, when when he showed up for Andrew's funeral, he had not been seen in years.
01:07:21.240
He shows up and, you know, people had not seen him in years and he was fully ripped.
01:07:32.080
And I just remember we're staying aside and in Larry and John Kahn and the rest because we were launching the new site on Sunday.
01:07:41.420
Andrew died on Thursday, Thursday night, four nights before he launched the site you see today.
01:07:47.000
And there was some controversy where they're going to shut it down or launch it.
01:07:50.520
And so the widow said, no, Andrew gave his life for this.
01:07:54.720
I think the funeral was on Tuesday or Wednesday.
01:07:57.360
And when George came at the end, he kind of sat there because we're going to have a celebration for life.
01:08:03.960
And I said, well, look, we're going to keep going.
01:08:06.140
We got, you know, the, the, the, the, generate cash for her.
01:08:11.320
And now we've got a payroll and our investors say, yeah, let's take a shot at it.
01:08:15.300
And he just, he shook his hand and he said, you know, I don't get that.
01:08:28.360
And, but today, clearly that's, I don't think that's Matt Drudge.
01:08:33.300
You can just see, it's not, it's not anywhere near the artistry of really.
01:08:41.760
Although I will say right on brand mysterious as always.
01:08:46.220
You, you mentioned Trump and the possible path.
01:08:51.600
If he, if he pulls this off tomorrow, what do you think will be the, like the most likely
01:08:58.360
Well, I think right now, and this is all about what you deliver, particularly on something
01:09:04.520
I think that North Carolina, Georgia, uh, Arizona, Nevada could be, you know, the ones locked down.
01:09:12.140
And then I think it's Wisconsin or Pennsylvania.
01:09:15.220
She's got to hold the blue wall and Nebraska too.
01:09:19.040
And she gets the two 70, but I think his path is, uh, is probably the, the, the, the,
01:09:25.480
it's what I call the sunbelt States plus Wisconsin, which I think she's having real problems with.
01:09:35.480
All the pollsters have been wrong, wrong by like 11 points swings.
01:09:38.480
I don't know why it's so hard to pull, but Trump won it, uh, in 16 and he lost it by half
01:09:47.540
So he, you'd have to say he's pretty likely to be competitive in it, but you'd like that
01:10:02.620
I'm saying that I think she has actually more problems in Wisconsin right now, at least
01:10:08.400
Listen, when you have places like Madison, Wisconsin, University of Wisconsin, you have
01:10:14.060
You have these massive, massive population centers of progressive kids, Taylor Swift fans.
01:10:25.380
Um, and so it's tough to call these, uh, and, uh, but I think she's got real problems
01:10:32.440
Although I believe, as I see it right now, if we deliver, if we get it done, I think we
01:10:39.120
The, uh, former president is going to Pennsylvania, two stops today.
01:10:43.040
He's going to North Carolina and he will finish, you know, the campaign basically, the final
01:10:47.880
stop will be in Grand Rapids, Michigan late tonight.
01:10:54.540
He definitely thinks his hopes are still alive in all three of those.
01:10:57.400
He has not given up on Michigan by any stretch and he's actually up in Michigan, according
01:11:02.140
What do you make of the fact that he's having to go to North Carolina and she's going there
01:11:07.200
I kind of thought North Carolina was leaning more heavily Trump and that that might've
01:11:12.140
been closer to a Georgia, closer to an Arizona where it was a little bit, not safe, but a
01:11:23.740
I mean, you got the research triangle, you have these big universities.
01:11:29.480
It's traditional, the traditional tar heels, but then you've got, you add on top of that,
01:11:34.060
the, the, the, the center of the credential class.
01:11:37.060
I mean, the research triangle is like a mini, so it's like one 28 or Austin or a mini version
01:11:43.560
It's one of the most advanced medical and technology centers in the country.
01:11:47.400
You've got Duke, you got Wake Forest, you got UNC, you have these great schools.
01:11:51.260
Anytime you have those, you have a hotbed of the progressive left.
01:11:54.720
On top of that, it's become a big retirement community for folks that we see in Virginia
01:12:01.040
Asheville, North Carolina, down in Southern Pines and in Pinehurst, you have a huge retirement
01:12:06.740
thing because people don't want to go to Florida, but it's kind of, you know, it's the weather's
01:12:11.320
So on top of that, you then have, you have a lot of rural MAGA and North Carolina, I think
01:12:26.220
We went down exactly at the place they had the rally today.
01:12:29.120
We went down the Saturday morning before Tuesday.
01:12:32.640
And I sat there with President Trump talk, worked with Meadows and Meadows said, no, no,
01:12:38.140
We're going to win this by a point, point and a half, two points.
01:12:42.840
And Mark knew the Christian community down there.
01:12:45.040
No, the reason we did not go back to North Carolina was, was I actually canceled something
01:12:49.620
was Meadows telling me that, but he had a real feel.
01:12:53.940
I think it was tough in 16, although it's the one we won in 20.
01:12:57.880
I got that, but it's tough because of, you've got, you know, it's changing.
01:13:02.960
You look at the maps, you know, we have 3,000 of the counties, I think of the 3,400 counties.
01:13:07.560
The map is red in the country when we look at by county, but besides the coast, right?
01:13:12.480
The LA's and the New York's and San Francisco, the Bay Area, Seattle, you, then you'll see
01:13:17.280
blue dots around, and significant blue dots around the country.
01:13:26.940
It's, it's, it's the research triangle of UNC and Duke and, and Wake Forest.
01:13:35.720
And remember in the ballot harvesting business, those are, it's like in Arizona with Arizona
01:13:40.360
State and University of Arizona, those are centerpieces where people sometimes can change
01:13:45.180
their registration or register in the same day.
01:13:47.460
These are ballot harvesting meccas, very tough.
01:13:55.800
I think we will, but man, people got to turn out and it's got to be forced multipliers all
01:14:00.580
She is, on the other hand, spending the entire day today in Pennsylvania, Scranton, Allentown,
01:14:07.040
and then rallies in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia.
01:14:09.420
Maybe I'll see her when I go to Pittsburgh for Trump later today, um, say hi and get
01:14:14.000
her speech on ambitions and aspirations and dreams.
01:14:16.380
Let's move over to Nevada because John Ralston, the guy everybody reads, who's no Trump fan,
01:14:21.560
uh, keeps updating what he's seeing in the early vote every two days, every, no, more
01:14:29.360
And what he posted late, uh, I think it was late last night.
01:14:35.180
And we're waiting for today's update is that the, he writes the Republican lead is
01:14:42.560
Now he had said last week that if Republicans can keep the early vote to a 40,000 or more
01:14:49.480
Like it might be time for the fat lady to sing, but he's not saying that today.
01:14:57.260
Republicans do says almost 1.1 million votes have been posted.
01:15:03.600
He says, uh, if turnout is 1.4 million, then we're approaching 80% of the vote being in.
01:15:13.400
Anyway, the bottom line is about 1.1 million votes have been posted.
01:15:16.080
If we wind up with 1.4 million turnout, we've seen 80% of the vote in and the Republicans
01:15:20.900
have a 43,000 ballot lead, but he says there are at least 300,000 more ballots out there,
01:15:27.760
And he says he thinks turnout in Clark could be a bit lower.
01:15:35.600
Rurals tend to lean Republican and Washoe, which I think is, isn't that Reno?
01:15:40.160
I think that's more Republican leaning, but then he says this, um, instead of
01:15:46.060
Dems building a big ballot lead this year, it's the Republicans who are doing it.
01:15:51.400
And the question is, can the Dems come back with mail ballots, crossover votes by Republicans
01:16:04.560
So one thing for your audience is that, um, and the guy, uh, Olson in the New York post
01:16:11.900
had his path to victory day, taking percentages off Henry, he's a very smart guy, but he took
01:16:18.820
Like the Republicans are 95% support Trump and 5% don't in the polling.
01:16:24.000
What the Democrats are banking on nationwide is that there is a percentage of the Republican
01:16:32.340
Their theory of the case is part of that is Liz Cheney, Nikki Haley, part of Nikki Haley's
01:16:38.360
followers, Liz Cheney followers, that will be never Trump voters.
01:16:42.220
So we just can't sit there and embrace the, the, the Republican and just think that's the
01:16:59.400
He had the 8,000 vote lead, uh, going into this last week.
01:17:03.500
And then he lost by 8,000, the culinary union out there coupled with the remnants.
01:17:10.320
Think run by a woman named lamb of the Harry Reed machine, uh, that knows how to, how do
01:17:16.680
I say this politely, you know, generate ballots.
01:17:21.560
They're professionals and Laxalt, you know, he called me before he conceded.
01:17:34.860
And he said, Steve, you can't fight these guys.
01:17:37.000
They're too, you know, I had this thing one, I should have won it and they stole it from
01:17:41.140
So I tell people and out there you have McDonald, the chairman, you have a Seagal Chata and
01:17:46.260
others, a huge, you know, war room, grassroots, big grassroots effort out there.
01:17:50.800
We can't, it ain't over till it's over in Nevada right now.
01:17:56.020
Look, Ralston, as you know, is a, not a Trump guy.
01:18:00.100
He wrote that and he sent all kinds of signals in it that I think everybody's blown away about
01:18:05.280
where we've done, what the levels, what the effort's been done today, but it's still,
01:18:14.200
I think mail-in ballots can come in on Wednesday morning.
01:18:16.980
I mean, they, they've got some laws out there that are a little, you know, gamey about when
01:18:22.460
things can actually come in and how they count it.
01:18:23.980
But the culinary union coupled with the Reed machine are professional grade and people
01:18:30.140
should not take anything for granted coming out of Nevada.
01:18:32.840
That's when you're going to have to show up and muscle this thing through tomorrow.
01:18:37.860
And you're going to need a legal team that's just all over this thing.
01:18:42.680
I mean, maybe you saw the New York times, uh, magazine piece on these, these terrified
01:18:48.340
voters who are obsessed with election integrity in Nevada and Jim Rutenberg went out there and
01:18:55.440
And, you know, the piece was ultimately somewhat, uh, let to be kind to the way he phrased it
01:19:00.960
dismissive of all of their concerns, uh, about voter integrity in Nevada.
01:19:06.420
And, and yet here you're talking about how, you know, there's a machine and it knows how
01:19:11.100
to win the same as a concern in Pennsylvania where the mail-in ballot, I mean, that's what
01:19:17.980
people are worried about in Pennsylvania, Steve, that we could get to a situation where
01:19:21.320
Trump is winning on midnight tomorrow night at midnight tomorrow night.
01:19:25.980
And then suddenly they get like three days, potentially of maybe even unmarked, unpostmarked
01:19:33.980
ballots to come in after the election, which, you know, last time around the Supreme court allowed
01:19:41.380
those ballots, but they ultimately weren't necessary in the count because they found that Joe Biden had
01:19:45.420
run, had won by such a margin that they didn't really have to get there this time around.
01:19:49.360
I mean, that's the kind of thing that can make all the difference.
01:19:53.280
Well, this is yesterday's New York times, you know, your favorite paper record in your new hometown.
01:19:59.540
And they got a picture of me and look at the headline.
01:20:01.480
It's Rutenberg, by the way, just randomly Rutenberg.
01:20:04.860
Trump uses 20 playbook to lay groundwork for dispute.
01:20:08.400
He and ally spread distorted reports, inviting chaos.
01:20:12.340
If Harris wins the race and it's Rutenberg's right there with, with my picture.
01:20:17.220
And the reason they're so freaked out is I gave this press conference and people know
01:20:21.640
I advocated President Trump stand up at 11 o'clock at night in 2020 and say, hey, look,
01:20:26.940
I'm 800,000 votes ahead in, in, in, uh, in Pennsylvania.
01:20:30.700
I'm that we're going to be all over how these votes are counted because there's quote unquote
01:20:40.100
You've got all these kind of different, and I believe states should run their own elections.
01:20:45.240
Yes, but you've got all these funky different rules in the mail and ballots are going to
01:20:49.400
be an issue in, uh, in Pennsylvania, just like the culinary union and, uh, in the reed
01:20:56.500
And that's why I think we're much better prepared today.
01:20:59.460
You've got a real team of, of lawyers on election integrity.
01:21:02.840
Also, we've trained up, I think 150 or 200,000 poll watchers, but also election officials
01:21:08.840
that'll be around the green table as the ballots go.
01:21:11.940
And so ballot curing, all those types of things, now we'd have great ballot chasing
01:21:17.020
Now we've got a whole set of, of citizens have been trained in ballot curing and also
01:21:24.620
So I think it'll be very different, but it's going to be an issue.
01:21:26.500
And I keep telling people, don't think at 10 o'clock at night, they're going to be calling
01:21:29.860
this no matter what the exit polls say, no matter what it is, because this is going to
01:21:33.520
be, this is going to be a down in the trenches fight.
01:21:37.520
We're going to take a break before we go to break.
01:21:39.100
I'm just going to play Trump's closing ad of this long, long campaign and extremely
01:21:50.760
Four years ago, we took a wrong turn and lost our purpose.
01:21:55.480
We lost the strength that makes Americans who we are.
01:21:59.580
If we dared to speak the truth, it was called hate speech and our values were labeled shameful.
01:22:05.020
That's when everything we care about fell apart.
01:22:09.560
We surrendered our borders, our paychecks and our courage.
01:22:18.280
Men could beat up women and win medals, but there was no prize for the guy who got up every
01:22:24.640
Now we're being asked to settle for the way things are, and we're wondering if America
01:22:57.520

John, she needs an abortion or she's going to die from the pregnancy.
01:25:12.420
You can still have children, just not with her.
01:25:21.180
It was paid for by a PAC supporting Kamala Harris called the Progressive Action Fund.
01:25:30.860
Even in the deepest red states that have passed far more restrictive abortion laws,
01:25:36.080
every single one allows an abortion to save the life of the mother.
01:25:43.920
And any state that tried to pass a law that didn't allow that would see its law overturned
01:25:52.520
Maybe I'm just naive, Steve Bannon, but there used to be a day where if you told like a little
01:25:57.640
fib in a campaign ad, you'd probably get called out on it.
01:26:01.600
It might be a story, but this kind of fear mongering used to be condemned by left and
01:26:07.000
This is outrageous, but abortion is her greatest hope.
01:26:15.860
They're going to keep using it because it's effective.
01:26:18.600
They put, they did the, you know, they put her on Saturday Night Live when Lauren Roberts
01:26:22.900
swore he wasn't going to do that to violate the FCC.
01:26:27.240
They removed Biden, who was their nominee, in a period of a week because they knew he
01:26:34.740
There's no custom or tradition they won't go against.
01:26:38.060
And so, yes, the abortion issue has been one of the axes in the space that they use to
01:26:49.040
You just have to, President Trump's, I think, done what everybody planned to do is have it
01:26:53.400
turned back to the states and even conservative states like Kansas and Ohio are going to not
01:26:58.460
have the types of right to life that a lot of the right to life members thought conservative
01:27:05.960
But it's, they've, they've, they've been very effective on this, coloring outside the
01:27:11.380
Remember, this is raw politics about power and control.
01:27:15.400
And they're, they're, they don't have, their rule book is victory.
01:27:19.980
In, in prison in Danbury, there were a bunch of, of men there, they're put there, been
01:27:25.580
praying the rosary in front of abortion clinics.
01:27:28.520
They had sentenced, I think two or three 70, their seventies to about, this is not a camp
01:27:34.560
during a federal prison, low security, but these low security prisons are tough.
01:27:39.760
They, they sentenced, I think two or three women in their seventies while I was there.
01:27:50.760
They understand Nancy Pelosi and these people understand what power is.
01:27:54.860
And the Republican party has had a very tradition of kind of play by, you know, Dudley
01:28:03.860
Trump and the people around him, they've got some brawlers, right?
01:28:07.320
You're not going to back down, but that ad is horrible as it is.
01:28:14.000
The reports are that it's, it's allegedly swaying, uh, independent male voters by some
01:28:23.440
Um, I want to talk about the, the both sides life that's resurrected now in the final days.
01:28:35.140
Maybe you're Muslim American or Jewish American, and you are heartbroken and furious about the
01:28:41.840
ongoing bloodshed in the Middle East and worried about the rise of antisemitism.
01:28:50.780
Why would you place your faith in somebody who instituted a so-called Muslim ban?
01:28:55.720
Who sat down for pleasantries with Holocaust deniers.
01:29:03.940
Who said that there were very fine people on both sides of a white supremacist rally.
01:29:18.920
Am I, am I being Pollyanna thinking that the former president of the United States
01:29:22.220
wouldn't be like, shouldn't be openly lying about something that's been fact-checked by
01:29:29.780
There's zero chance he didn't know or wasn't told that that's a blatant lie.
01:29:34.020
Um, so it's just all about, as you point out, victory.
01:29:36.640
And, and by the way, like, is, is team red going to do this in, in, at this level,
01:29:43.680
Cause I'll tell you, just thinking about my remarks tonight at the Trump rally,
01:29:48.740
I thought that might be an important thing to do.
01:29:51.220
Well, I think the truth about her and about their policies are blatant.
01:29:54.400
But remember, we fought wars in Iraq, uh, on weapons of mass destruction.
01:29:59.140
We've never really, uh, we've never really investigated or put on trial the people that
01:30:06.000
You know, you had Bernie Madoff, but he was marginalia to what the crisis were.
01:30:11.600
Look at what they did to the parents to try to get, make sure they weren't pornography in
01:30:15.260
the school library or make sure they're, you know, their kids were getting education and
01:30:26.280
But the reason it doesn't resonate, and I think it's not resonating, is that they also
01:30:30.780
understand African-American and, and, and, uh, black men particularly understand that this
01:30:36.440
crowd allowed 10 to 15 million illegal alien migrants into the country and Wall Street and
01:30:42.820
that supported it are not going to, they're not going to, Trump is going to have the biggest
01:30:47.140
battle in American domestic history to deport anybody.
01:30:50.820
And the, and the, and the black and Hispanic community understand that it's driven down
01:30:58.780
So no, there's nothing the other side won't do to, to, to take and hold power, including
01:31:06.940
So no, I, it doesn't shock me, uh, to the degree it's effective.
01:31:10.320
I think we'd come back and that's why I would like the closing message.
01:31:13.300
I'm glad you're talking about that is to be quite focused on just pure economics right
01:31:17.620
now and the lived experience of working class and middle class people.
01:31:21.440
Cause I think that's the biggest winner we've got.
01:31:25.000
The, uh, New York times may be doing a long piece on you and election denialism.
01:31:29.480
I wonder whether they do a long piece on Jamie Raskin and his plans for denying the election
01:31:34.600
if Trump wins, because he's making it really explicit.
01:31:37.360
He went on Bill Maher this weekend and here's what he said in stop 14.
01:31:40.320
When I say we will support a free and fair election, no, we're not going to allow them
01:31:45.800
to steal it in the States or steal it at the department of justice or steal it with any
01:31:53.200
If it's a free and fair election, we will do what we've always done.
01:32:04.980
That is the big difference between the parties.
01:32:10.440
Um, your prediction, if Trump does pull this off, what the Democrats will do to him between
01:32:21.160
Well, Bill Maher in that interview was goading him on saying, it's not good.
01:32:26.360
We need to know exactly how you're going to basically not allow Trump to return to the
01:32:31.940
In Rolling Stone magazine, Nancy Pelosi gave an interview, which she said three times her
01:32:35.920
purpose in life is to make sure Trump is not reelected and never sets foot again in the
01:32:41.900
They're obsessed with him because they understand he's led a populist revolt that quite frankly,
01:32:46.740
Megan has united disparate characters like Elon Musk, Robert Kennedy, Jr., Danica Patrick,
01:32:53.500
Tulsi Gabbard, Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon, Megyn Kelly, uh, all, you know, all of whom have
01:33:04.160
They united us in, in, in, in many others that, you know, David Sachs and other people
01:33:10.620
that have never been part of this have united us in an effort, understand we're trying to
01:33:15.460
So Raskin and Raskin and Mark Elias can't be dismissed.
01:33:19.720
Mark Elias is the toughest election lawyer in the country.
01:33:26.380
Jamie Raskin is a brilliant constitutional lawyer.
01:33:28.680
He has already said on many occasions, he will not, if they take the house by one seat,
01:33:34.320
which is, is, is possible because the house is in the balance, they will not certify Trump
01:33:40.700
They will say, Hey, look, we had a committee that committed for two years.
01:33:44.620
The Republicans never refuted and never dismissed the committee.
01:33:47.580
They talked about it on Fox, but they never took action on it.
01:33:58.800
They're all insurrectionists and we're not going to seat him and they're going to try
01:34:02.520
to get a contingent election, set aside the election tomorrow.
01:34:07.900
Andy Biggs told us last week on the show that he knows Democrats are already drafting articles
01:34:13.480
of impeachment on Trump in case they take the house by one seat.
01:34:18.760
People understand tomorrow is everything and we have to win, but don't think we're back
01:34:23.160
in the seventies or eighties that there'll be congratulations.
01:34:27.600
No, they're going to fight this every day with Mark Elias, the culinary union, uh, their
01:34:33.060
operatives, the media, uh, MSNBC, Jim Rutenberger, and much, much more.
01:34:38.220
And, you know, billionaires, Reed Hoffman, underwriting things, fight it all the way
01:34:42.720
through, uh, the new Congress being seated on January 3rd, fighting on January 6th.
01:34:47.880
And, and even after he takes the oath of office in January, don't think it's going to get any
01:34:52.720
There's not going to be any, Oh, uh, you know, honeymoon and a hundred days, nothing like
01:34:57.060
Every day is going to be a struggle and one side is going to win and one side is going
01:35:00.680
And what they hope to do is to spirit us and just say, we can't take any more.
01:35:04.540
I want to go play tennis or golf or pickleball or something.
01:35:07.400
The side that wins here is the side that doesn't quit.
01:35:12.420
And tomorrow is a big benchmark on how prepared we are to do the work that's necessary by working
01:35:18.180
class people in this country to make sure you send a message to these folks that, Hey,
01:35:22.420
under no circumstances, whether I'm black, uh, Hispanic, uh, Arab American, uh, wherever
01:35:28.500
you, a Jewish, a white working class that, Hey, we're, we're going to take our country
01:35:33.460
A woman, um, on your point of the, just a unique group that Trump has managed to assemble
01:35:41.480
If he wins it, the, uh, the great Nicole Shanahan, who was RFKJ's running mate has put
01:36:09.040
This election really isn't about the left versus the right.
01:36:13.020
It's about we, the people choosing our government and the choice between freedom versus tyranny.
01:36:20.420
Nobody has a chronic disease burden like we have.
01:36:27.080
Why are we allowing this to happen to our children?
01:36:30.720
Ultimately, the only thing that will save our country is if we choose to love our kids
01:36:46.820
We are being called to rise above the hatred and the fear and the evil.
01:36:53.960
We need to remember above and beyond that we must love our neighbors, that we must treat
01:37:02.280
You want to be a rebel, you want to be a hippie, you want to stick it to the man, show up on
01:37:07.760
your college campus and try calling yourself a conservative.
01:37:10.980
America is going to reach heights that it has never seen before.
01:37:27.060
Don't you want a president that's going to make America healthy again?
01:38:08.900
And it's the people who are making America great again.
01:38:23.840
Very moving, Steve, and perfectly captures some of what we could get, what could be,
01:38:30.360
as Kamala Harris might say, as a result of tomorrow's vote.
01:38:33.780
Your final thought for the audience listening to us now.
01:38:35.980
We're at the top of the first inning in pulling this coalition together.
01:38:40.540
This has been 10, 12 years in making, but we're at the very beginning stages.
01:38:44.900
You see the people, Nicole Shanahan, incredibly, incredibly just talented.
01:38:50.000
The people are coming together, supporting the MAGA movement, the America First Movement,
01:38:54.260
the American Citizens First Movement, and President Trump are extraordinary.
01:39:00.260
This is going to be historic, and we've got so much more work to do.
01:39:04.060
I'm just glad to be in the street fighter element of that, and I couldn't be more honored.
01:39:12.480
I'm so glad to see you free and sharing your lessons with us and your tactics.
01:39:23.460
I'll see you after Pittsburgh tonight and all through Election Day.
