| This is what you're fighting for. | ||
| I mean, every day you're out there. | ||
| What they're doing is blowing people off. | ||
| If you continue to look the other way and shut up, then the oppressors, the authoritarians get total control and total power. | ||
| Because this is just like in Arizona. | ||
| This is just like in Georgia. It's another element that backs them into a quarter and shows their lies and misrepresentations. | ||
| This is why this audience is going to have to get engaged. | ||
| As we've told you, this is the fight. | ||

Monday 7th of October, Anno Domini, 2024. | |
| Harden World here at the helm, filling in for Steve Bannon. | ||
| Opening straight away with Mark Mitchell from Rasmussen Reports. | ||
| Mark, good morning to you. | ||
| Look, I tell you what, I always check Rasmussen every day to see what's going on in terms of polling. | ||
| There's another site which I check as well, which isn't a polling site, but I think it gives some information as to how things work. | ||
| In terms of perception-wise amongst people themselves, I think you check it as well, and that's polymarket.com. | ||
| Saturday, I noticed there was level pegging between the two nominees at 50.0%. | ||
| Yesterday, Trump had edged slightly ahead by about half a percent, and Kamala Harris had fallen by half a percent. | ||
| And today, this morning, Trump has catapulted ahead. | ||
| He's got like a five-point lead now. | ||
| So he's on about 42, excuse me, 52.3% and calmness down to 46.9%. | ||
| What is... | ||
| It's important to say this is not a polling company, but what is illustrative about it is this is people's perception. | ||
| It's a betting market, an online betting market. | ||
| It's people's perceptions of who they think is going to win, not who they want to win, who they think is going to win. | ||
| And they're putting their own money behind it because this percentage here is based on the actual bets that are being placed. | ||
| Mark, what's your reading of this? | ||
| And what do you think the policy, what conclusions... | ||
| Should they possibly be drawing from it? | ||
| This, in my opinion, is the funnest thing that everybody should be watching this week. | ||
| And the reason is, listen, I still believe polling is more accurate. | ||
| And I think my polls, which again last week for the fourth week in a row, show that Donald Trump is winning the national popular vote by two points. | ||
| Maybe we're off by a point or two, but you have Atlas Intel, Trafalgar, The New York Times, Quinnipiac, all kind of within spinning distance of us. | ||
| And that's a horrible narrative for Kamala Harris to have out there. | ||
| Is that at some point between now and Election Day, it's going to break into the news that she's losing. | ||
| And what the betting markets like Polymarket are supposed to show is a more accurate take because people are putting their money on the lines. | ||
| But in reality, I think the story has been that these markets are manipulated because despite any of the polling that's been put out, they've been deadlocked. | ||
| But the thing about the betting markets is if somebody is trying to manipulate that market, they can only hold out We're good to go. | ||
| Any polling in Pennsylvania, any leftward-leaning polling error means that Kamala Harris is toast. | ||
| Donald Trump wins. And so real-clear politics, Pennsylvania looks horrible for her. | ||
| But on poly markets, it's been deadlocked at 49-49 or whatever it's been. | ||
| But right after the debate, the poly market Pennsylvania market broke. | ||
| And now finally, just this morning... | ||
| The predicted election winner 2024 market broke. | ||
| And that's a really deep, big market. | ||
| It's got $1.4 billion of volume. | ||
| And it takes a lot to move it. | ||
| But we watched in the last three hours, it went from Trump plus three, which is a huge pickup for him, all the way to Trump plus 10 in a flash crash. | ||
| And it now looks like it's coming back down to 53 or 47. | ||
| And again, maybe this doesn't say anything major. | ||
| All it does is contradict the mainstream media. | ||
| They need the narrative, I think, in my opinion, that Kamala Harris is the favorite, that all the cool kids are voting for her, that all the Hollywood actors support her. | ||
| And it's like the betting markets right now incontrovertibly say that Donald Trump is winning. | ||
| And at some point, that's going to leak into the mainstream media. | ||
| A couple of points to pick up, Mark. | ||
| Absolutely. I think what the betting markets are doing is that they're catching up with professional polling outfits, Rasmussen reports, leading the packet, as you have been doing for many months here. | ||
| But these betting markets, they do fluctuate, and they are in real time. | ||
| But as you say, to manipulate these, you have to put your own money down. | ||
| It's a bit like currency speculation, right? | ||
| You can perhaps move the needle or something, but you can't fundamentally change the direction. | ||
| The UK tried to do this back in, I think, 1992 with the exchange rate mechanism. | ||
| It tried to push the markets in favour of the pound. | ||
| We ended up getting thrown out of the ERM. The country lost billions of pounds. | ||
| Soros made it. That money, by the way. | ||
| Betting markets are exactly the same. | ||
| You can perhaps move the needle a little bit, but fundamentally, if you're not representing the underlying reality, you are going to lose that money. | ||
| Let's pick up on what you were saying, because this is crucial now to those six battleground states. | ||
| It's like a three-way split. | ||
| Trump picks up three, and Kamala picks up three. | ||
| But the electoral votes, the majority, if this is represented on Election Day in a month's time now, Trump will gain out of these swing states. | ||
| So Arizona has 11 electoral votes. | ||
| He's on 67% here, as opposed to Harris' 33%. | ||
| Georgia, 16 electoral votes. | ||
| Trump's on 63%. | ||
| Kamala Harris, 37%. | ||
| Pennsylvania, which we were just talking about, 19%. | ||
| He's on 56%. | ||
| That's like a 12-point lead over Kamala. | ||
| Wisconsin, Michigan, and Nevada, according to the present... | ||
| This is a snapshot, right, in this moment in time of where people think of who's going to win, right? | ||
| But Wisconsin, Michigan, and Nevada all go to Harris. | ||
| Though the margin of our victory is a lot less in each of those cases. | ||
| It's about 5%, 6%. | ||
| Whereas, say, Arizona, Trump will pick up by a 30% jump. | ||
| So this is where people are putting their own money in anticipating who they think is going to win on November 5th. | ||
| This is landing up solidly behind Trump, and the posture should draw a lot of sustenance from that, because the mainstream media is trying to tack The opposite direction. | ||
| Tell me a bit what's going on in Rasmussen reports itself. | ||
| You mentioned just a few minutes ago, tell me a bit about your latest polling results that you're digging down on in terms of the research. | ||
| Well, today we put out a generic ballot at Republican plus two. | ||
| I think that makes sense with Trump winning the national popular vote by two points as well. | ||
| And what you're talking about there, again, the poly markets thing, it's betting markets. | ||
| The problem with the polling is that there are suppression polls out here that the media people can pick. | ||
| And I'll just go through a couple of them that stand out to me as being not correct. | ||
| I think the problem is that they're hard to interpret, but there's no misinterpretation of polymarket right now. | ||
| Donald Trump is winning according to that site. | ||
| At some point, people on the left who are just used to Democrats having this polling advantage against Donald Trump are going to have to wake up to the cognitive dissonance that she is not the favorite right now. | ||
| Just going back to Pennsylvania, again, polymarket, like I said, shows Pennsylvania going to Trump. | ||
| But the polling is just horrible. | ||
| Again, RealClearPolitics is tie. | ||
| But four years ago, Biden was up seven points in the poll. | ||
| That's a left six-point error. | ||
| And eight years ago, Clinton was up seven and a half. | ||
| I think that's ultimately a left eight-point error. | ||
| If there is any leftward media polling bias at all, Then Donald Trump will win Pennsylvania by a solid margin. | ||
| But then looking at the national numbers, you know, again, we kind of find ourselves in this situation like in the beginning of August where people just weren't polling that much because there haven't, you know, the last, the freshest data is two polls on here from October 4th. | ||
| They could have been dumped before the weekend. | ||
| They were not. So they weren't picked up in the Sunday news cycle. | ||
| That's kind of questionable. But it's a month to Election Day. | ||
| Used to seeing more pollsters than this. | ||
| But Yahoo News has the race tied. | ||
| National popular vote tie. | ||
| If you go into the internals, they give J.D. Vance a 14-point favorability disadvantage compared to Tim Walz. | ||
| So they're definitely pulling left-leaning sample. | ||
| And then TIPP put up Harris plus three points. | ||
| They show her winning independents by 16 points, which I think more than the exit polling showed that Biden won them by in 2020. | ||
| So again, the polling, in my opinion, is all left. | ||
| And in the next month, if they want to be right, if they don't want to totally lose all their viewers, they're going to have to start preparing people for the fact that Trump's probably going to win this thing. | ||
| Mark, I think you and Rasmussen reports they got massive victory lap. | ||
| Right now. Because as I say, the point about Polymarkets is not a professional polling organisation. | ||
| It's a reflection of who people with their own money betting think is going to win on November the 5th. | ||
| So it's not a polling. | ||
| You don't have any of the corrections of bias, you know, with people lying to pollsters and trying to estimate what that take is. | ||
| This is just people betting with their own money. | ||
| Well, if you look at the trading activity, there are a lot of whales. | ||
| So in reality, what it probably is, is dueling political action committees using VPNs, is my guess. | ||
| That's probably what we're watching. | ||
| Well, we'll find that, you know, I think if that's true, then the marker will correct over the coming time and we will see that correction. | ||
| Mark, I mean, my observation here isn't necessarily for you because you're a pollster, but this is my analysis for the war room possibly that's listening. | ||
| The importance of this is that there is everything to play for and you Americans have 30 days to save your nation. | ||
| Don't get the defeatist mantra of the mainstream media weigh you down. | ||
| You have everything to play for. | ||
| The polls are now showing Trump's winning. | ||
| People betting on Trump is winning. | ||
| We'll hear from Wisconsin, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania later on in this hour | ||
| for a readout of what's going on there. | ||
| But that would be my primary takeaway. | ||
| There is everything to play for. | ||
| And it underlines the importance of getting out the vote and where states haven't already sealed up their deadline | ||
| So registration and getting out the vote. | ||
| Mark Mitchell, thanks very much today. | ||
| Do you have any closing observations, especially once again referring to your own superb research on Rasmussen reports? | ||
| You're absolutely right. | ||
| It just comes down to people getting out there, doing their organic get-out-the-vote efforts. | ||
| It'll probably be a strange situation for Trump supporters to be in because he's never been the favorite in the polls. | ||
| And all I'm doing, banging away on my drum, is just trying to provide a counter-narrative to all the lies that I see in the mainstream media. | ||
| So it's really more about me and them than it is about Trump voters. | ||
| I'm pretty sure no polling... | ||
| No reporting at all is going to change the way that Trump supporters vote. | ||
| So just get out and do your thing, guys. | ||
| Superb, Mark. Absolutely superb. | ||
| Where do people go? | ||
| Can you just give your list of your socials and the vast bits of reports where they go to get more information? | ||
| Rasmussen underscore pole on X, and I'm there too. | ||
| Mark underscore R underscore Mitchell. | ||
| And we got a really great YouTube channel too. | ||
| Rasmussen underscore pole. | ||
| I'll be putting out a little bit more of a detailed video today. | ||

Hope to see everybody there. Mark Mitchell, thanks very much for joining us on the show. | |
| God bless for now. Thanks. Dave Walsh. | ||
| Good afternoon to you. | ||
| I gather that there are some developments in the energy sector. | ||
| Specifically, I think you've been flagging up the 75 solar farms which have been erected at a cost of some $10 billion to taxpayers. | ||
| Tell me a bit more about this and what the background is. | ||
| Well, before, I want to... | ||
| Kudos to the utilities. | ||
| Right now, Duke FPL doing God's work in restoring power, attempting to restore power to Western North Carolina, Florida. | ||
| And now we just got word we're facing Cat 5 storm imminent here in Florida. | ||
| So they'll be working around the clock, 80 hours a day. | ||
| I can only say hats off to the linemen doing God's work at this moment in time. | ||
| In the meantime, an article yesterday, op-ed appeared in the Wall Street... | ||
| Entitled, How Florida Keeps Electricity Plentiful and Rates Low. | ||
| The author, Mario Loyola, didn't look at the last five-year data from announcements by FPL, Tico, and Duke Energy here, which are all about There are 10-year site plans going forward, nothing but solar farms being installed by them, no new combined cycle, no new nuclear, and of course, a close down of the remaining coal plants, which are all baseload power sources, but instead, all installing mass quantities at billions of dollars of solar farms since about 2022 announcement by FPL that they across 20 years. | ||
| We'll install 90,000 megawatts of solar farms, encompassing 1,200 square miles of Florida land while they build out no new gas-fired combined cycle plants, no new nuclear plants, despite being one of the nation's dominant successful nuclear operators over history and, of course, shuttering coal-fired power. | ||
| These companies have already spent – Duke and Florida Power and Light have already spent about $9 billion of ratepayer money in the last three years on the phase one of their solar farm build-out across about 70 solar farms they've built. | ||
| Duke about 20. FPL about 50. | ||
| FPL's long-term goal is 1,200 680-acre each solar farms of 74.5 megawatts. | ||
| Duke moving down the same path. | ||
| The FPL plan will cost ratepayers between hydrogen conversions, between battery storage behind this solar, and 90,000 megawatts of solar will cost ratepayers about $300 billion over a 20-year period. | ||
| So, already the utilities, the two, Antico, have spent over $9 billion in the last three years, owing to one of the reasons electricity rates have advanced here already by 31%. | ||
| So, all due respect to Mario, while the utilities have been very gas-oriented in Florida up through 2022, they're stopping that. | ||
| But here's the curiosity. | ||
| With all this solar that's been built to date, For example, Duke Energy's fossil fuel utilization is up 2% in a time period that they built 20 utility-scale solar farms, owing to the fact that this stuff is so nominal in electricity supply, it doesn't move the needle on the use of fossil fuels, which become more necessary as you build out more of this. | ||
| Dave, can I just pivot ever so slightly? | ||
| Because I realise that energy provision is an element of American national security here. | ||
| And that Florida, I think, has less than 80% of its powers supplied by gas, gas-fired generation. | ||
| I see in the news today that a second hurricane is now heading towards Florida. | ||
| How is its capacity to be able to generate power going to be affected by this barrage of weather phenomena and should Americans, especially down there in Florida, start to get concerned? | ||
| Well, this does appear now in the last two minutes to have been reclassified as a Category 5 storm, winds 140 miles an hour plus hitting the west coast of Florida. | ||
| Very unusual track. | ||
| This originated in the Pacific, came across Mexico, reformed at Cancun as basically moving direct west to east, which is highly unusual. | ||
| This in the 40 years hasn't happened, a west to east direct course like this into the west coast, so it's going to be problematic. | ||
| But the new challenge is, it's a lot more challenging for the utilities having built out these site-by-site-by-site, very small power nodes of about net 20 megawatts each in terms of 75 solar farms with 75 individual substations and many more individualized smaller transformers, which are a three- to five-year lead time to get replacements of in the current tight market. | ||
| It's much more challenging and complicated to maintain a dispersed system like that, a fragmented system like that, than a classic large central station, large power transformer, large substation environment that we have been accustomed to in this country for 90 years. | ||
| So they've doubled down on the challenge that they face in reconstructing many, many, many, many smaller power nodes and smaller substations, many more smaller transformers that go out of service. | ||
| That now get in a queue to be replaced over lead times that are now very long for this equipment. | ||
| North Carolina right now has a 300-unit shortage of transformers to begin rebuilding the grid in western North Carolina due to the last hurricane of two weeks ago. | ||
| So it's a transformer supply of the size that fits into these new smaller substations, many, many, many more of them, is a huge challenge to reconstruction. | ||
| And just tell me very briefly, where is confidence in the solar market right now? | ||
| Well, the trouble with solar is the confidence is diminishing. | ||
| We're looking at companies like Microsoft and Google beginning to rely on continuous duty, 24-hour a day, restarting nuclear power plants that can deliver power 24 hours a day reliably for 18 whole months without a refueling outage as a preferable generation source for large-scale AI, data centers, service centers, | ||
| than part-time intermittent solar and wind. | ||
| But part-time intermittent solar and wind are also a huge problem for traditional industries, | ||
| paper mills, paper and pulp, cement plants, steel plants, specialty metals, car making, aluminum smelting, | ||
| phosphate refining, all of these kinds of industries are heavily, heavily dependent, | ||
| chemical and petrochemical processing, on continuous duty, large quantities of continuous duty, | ||
| constant electricity. | ||
| So the president of VIEW, Larry Fink, and our head of Morgan Stanley, | ||
| both very, very out there that, hey, solar and wind cannot be | ||
| the nation's sole energy source if we're gonna have AI and data centers grow, | ||
| in addition to the industries I mentioned. | ||
| Yeah, I think Florida escaped overinvestment in solar. | ||
| Well, we have. | ||
| But to be investing solar energy in the sunshine state right now when it's being bombarded by one hurricane after another would have been a massive sign of misinvestment, I think. | ||
| No, but that misinvestment is underway here right now. | ||
| It's been underway here for four years. | ||
| The only weapon of choice for power generation Florida is investing in over the last four years has been new solar. | ||
| No new gas turbine plant of combined cycle, no new nuclear and shutting down coal. | ||
| Florida's weapon of choice the last four years has been nothing but solar on new capacity additions into the fleet. | ||
| And that's what we'd like to see turned around. | ||
| Outstanding. Dave Walsh, absolutely outstanding. | ||
| Where do people go to keep up with your analysis on all things energy? | ||
| Well, God bless everyone during this coming hurricane here and reach me on X, TrueSocial and Getter at DaveWalshEnergy. | ||
| Thank you, Ben. Thanks very much. | ||
| Catch you soon. God bless. | ||
| Well, now quickly to one of the three battleground states we're covering on the show in this hour. | ||
| Brian Shimming, you were on the show last week, chair of the GOP in Wisconsin. | ||
| President Trump was down in your state over the weekend. | ||
| Tell me, how did that go? It went terrific. | ||
| Well over 10,000 people at a rally up in Dodge County, a relatively rural county, but close to the Madison media market. | ||
| So we really had an outstanding rally. | ||
| The president was really on. | ||
| The crowd was really on. | ||
| I was telling the media afterwards, it feels like the election's two days away. | ||
| I mean, the intensity is very, very high here. | ||
| How long were people queuing for to get in? | ||
| Hours. We had people there. | ||
| He didn't speak till 2. | ||
| I let off the welcome of the president around 12 or so, but we had people on site at 6.30, 7 o'clock in the morning waiting in line. | ||
| there were thousands and thousands of cars parked around that airport. | ||
| It was unbelievable energy. | ||
| I talked to the president during the day and he's, boy, he's, but Wisconsin, as you, | ||
| as you know, Wisconsin is kind of one of the big seven. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely is. | |
| Tell me about the momentum there right now. | ||
| Tell me about the voter registrations. | ||
| Yeah, been pretty high. | ||
| We're getting that pretty high. | ||
| Interestingly, actually, one of the biggest signs in the event site to the left of the stage where the president is speaking was vote early. | ||
| And so I get peppered by the media all the time about, oh, is the president serious about people voting early? | ||
| He was very serious about it yesterday. | ||
| It was the biggest banner in the airplane hangar that we were in. | ||
| And he talked about it. | ||
| He talked about voter registration, and he talked about voting early in Wisconsin. | ||
| The early votes can start about October We're good to go. | ||
| Well, Wisconsin, of course, has 10 electoral college votes with it and could be decisive. | ||
| Tell me about the president's message to you guys. | ||
| Give me a minute and a half, if you would. | ||
| Tell me about what he was saying. | ||
| What was resonating with the people there, the 10,000 people there, some of whom were queuing since dawn to get in? | ||
| Yeah, Wisconsin here, not unlike a lot of the country or the economy and what people are playing at the grocery store in their daily lives. | ||
| I said to reporters last week, the reason the president keeps coming back to this is it's something Kamala Harris has to run away from. | ||
| There's a record there. | ||
| And as I always say, when you have to run against type as a candidate, as a high-profile candidate, which she does, she has to run away from Joe Biden. | ||
| Joe Biden actually did us a favor on Friday when he went into the White House press room and talked about how she was a critical part of everything that happened in his administration. | ||
| That is certainly true on the economy. | ||
| It's certainly true, as you know, on Afghanistan, because she brags about how she was the last person in the room. | ||
| But it's also certainly true on the border. | ||
| She can try to get away from being the border czar or whatever title she had at the time. | ||
| But the bottom line is those responsibilities were put in Kamala Harris's lap, and it wasn't an accident. | ||
| I mean, for people in the liberal media folks who want to go, oh, you know, maybe the policy had unintended consequences. | ||
| No, the consequences were intended. | ||
| They intended to let millions of people into the country, spread all across the country, including in states like Wisconsin, by the way. | ||
| It was intended policy, not unintended. | ||
| Brian, stand by, stand by. | ||

All this nonsense, all this spin, they can't handle the truth. | |
| War Room Battleground with Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Welcome back. Just finishing off now with Brian Schimming, the chair of Wisconsin GOP. Brian, what are the key dates that the posse need to be aware of between now and the election in around 30 days' time? | ||
| October 22nd through the 3rd is the deadline for in-person absentee voting. | ||
| So voters can possibly request an absentee ballot in person in their municipal clerk's office. | ||
| A lot of people like to do it that way through November 1st. | ||
| The trick there sometimes is that different clerks have different hours that they allow to do that. | ||
| So check with your local clerk. | ||
| November 5th is the final deadline for hospitalized voters, people who may be otherwise confined. | ||
| November 1st is the deadline to request an absentee ballot if you're indefinitely confined | ||
| or in the military. | ||
| So we have a lot of deadlines coming up very, very soon. | ||
| So we just encourage people, if they've requested an early ballot or if they have not registered | ||
| already to do so, we're still registering voters and we're very, very active about it. | ||
| Look, as I always say, Republicans, conservatives, we can't go into election days 100,000 votes | ||
| back and expect to make it up in 13 hours. | ||
| So that's why the president, that's why U.S. Senator Ron Johnson have been encouraging people to early vote. | ||
| We can track, the political parties, by the way, can track early votes online daily. | ||
| So we basically in real time contract if somebody requested an absentee ballot, if they have gotten it, if they have returned it. | ||
| That's part of our operation. | ||
| Wisconsin, we have one of the biggest election integrity operations in the country here in Wisconsin, much multiple times bigger than it's been in past elections. | ||
| So I say to local clerks, we want to work with you. | ||
| If we sense that there are problems and local Early vote or election day operations. | ||
| We want to work with them. | ||
| We'll alert them to it. | ||
| But if they won't follow our advice or don't follow state law, we'll see them in the courtroom. | ||
| Super. Brian Scheming, many thanks. | ||
| Briefly, before you go, where do people go to stay in touch with you on social media and to offer to help in whatever assistance they can? | ||
| Yeah, they can jump onto our website, which is wisgop.org, or they can follow me at Brian Scheming, B-R-I-A-N, S-C-H-I-M-M-I-N-G at Brian Schimming. | ||
| And you'll get plenty by going to either of those places because we are going 24 hours right now. | ||
| Brian, many thanks indeed. | ||
| Catch up again with you soon on the show. | ||
| Thanks for coming on. God bless for now. | ||
| Thanks for having me. So, straight quickly now to North Carolina. | ||
| Jim Womack, who was speaking last week, specifically, I think on Friday, I asked you whether conditions would impact voting. | ||
| Could it have an influence on the election? | ||
| Well, I think in the last few hours, South Carolina has announced a judge, a circuit judge, has extended the deadline for registrations by eight days. | ||
| Tell me, in the Tar Heel state, what are the developments there? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, it's good to be with you again today, man. | |
| Thank you so much. Yeah, there have been some new developments in North Carolina, particularly with respect to the National Guard and the regular Army getting together on the ground and finally working through some coordination difficulties to get services provided, emergency services in that area in the affected counties. | ||
| We also have a resolution finally coming out today from the Board of Elections, which identifies a number of the adjustments in the voting procedures, which are really welcome. | ||
| We have a number of positive developments in that resolution, which includes the powering down to the county level, the decision-making authority about how to extend the early voting hours, how to adjust the early voting days, how to create the opportunities for more precincts within their counties, especially in those counties where the infrastructure has been damaged. | ||
| To allow for out-of-county assistance within the state and to preserve a lot of the election security measures, which we really hold dear. | ||
| Things like having all ballots cast by 7.30 p.m. | ||
| on Election Day and making sure that opportunities for voter ID are still preserved, even though we do make allowances for people that are missing an ID or have lost an ID. To be able to still vote under a provisional ballot, that gives us the opportunity to qualify that vote. | ||
| So I think in balance, the resolution is very good for North Carolina. | ||
| And then we're going to have a much better and more secure election, even despite the fact that we had this Helene disaster that occurred. | ||
| Now, I know this resolution was only voted on, I think, earlier, a couple of hours ago, and you're still working your way through it. | ||
| So thank you for that very quick analysis. | ||
| But just tell me, in terms of extending voting deadlines, are you expecting to see anything presumably judge-ordained, like what your neighbours in South Carolina have seen? | ||
| Is there likely to be any extension to the registration deadline? | ||
|
unidentified
|
One never knows what a federal judge may impose, but for the time being, we have no indication that either lawfare activity or federal judge activity, activist federal judges may weigh in and try to extend the voting provisions of the state. | |
| As of right now, we don't see any indication of that, and we think that everything will be cut off by 7.30 p.m. | ||
| on Election Day. OK. Of course, there's a huge difference between South Carolina and North Carolina. | ||
| South Carolina is 99 percent considered to go to the Republicans. | ||
| North Carolina is a battleground state. | ||
| Tell me, in terms of the momentum, what you're seeing there right now in the parts of the state that haven't been affected by the storms. | ||
| How are people coping? | ||
| How are they thinking towards the election? | ||
|
unidentified
|
How's the momentum? Well, there's actually two observations that I would make. | |
| We see a lot of empathy pouring out from all over the state, as well as in the region, the Southern Appalachia region, wanting to extend services and assistance to those that are affected in the disaster areas. | ||
| And certainly, that's where people's hearts and minds are at this moment. | ||
| We, in the election integrity business, are still very much concerned about quality of the election, making sure that every legal vote counts and that it's easy to vote and very hard to cheat. | ||
| And that's what we're trying to preserve in North Carolina. | ||
| I'm optimistic that we're going to have a good election. | ||
| I was not as optimistic last week late when we last spoke because of the lack of federal and state coordination, which was really abysmal for the first week of the disaster. | ||
| I'm seeing more cooperation over the weekend and today. | ||
| I think things are going to turn out better. | ||
| But make no mistake, those areas like Asheville and northern Rutherford County, there are a lot of areas that are really hard hit that have no infrastructure, no running water, and won't for a long time. | ||
| Power is very difficult to restore in those areas. | ||
| And you're going to have to really bend over backwards to make facilities available for voting. | ||
| So I'm optimistic we're going to have a free and fair election. | ||
| I'm just hopeful that at this point that we're going to be able to make accommodations for people to vote. | ||
| Jim, could you just dig down on that point? | ||
| It's very important. | ||
| How are people going to vote under the present conditions? | ||
| And under those present conditions, because of the natural catastrophe that you've all suffered there, what are you doing? | ||
| What can be done to ensure that Democrats don't try and steal the election? | ||
|

|
So our Republican-controlled General Assembly in Raleigh is convening on Wednesday this week, and they're preparing an emergency package to appropriate funds for the relief in the western counties. | |
| But in addition, they're also putting some voting provisions in there. | ||
| They're going to give the latitude to the Board of Elections under emergency powers to conduct a free and fair election without compromising on election security measures. | ||
| So I feel very confident they're going to do that. | ||
| One of the things that one of my representatives contacted me about this morning was the notion of using churches that still have facilities available As alternate polling sites or supplemental polling sites where they can go in and one stop and receive supplies that they might need at the same time that they're going in to vote. | ||
| That's a good way of doing things because people got to go to central locations to pick up supplies. | ||
| And if we can just get qualified voting staff there to run elections in the early voting period, that's a great way to get relief to people at the same time they can come and cast their ballot. | ||
| Jim Womack, absolutely outstanding. | ||

| Outstanding. Absolutely outstanding. | ||
| Jim Womack, thanks for coming on the show again. | ||
| Do come back soon. Give us an update on what's going on. | ||
| God bless for now. Quickly, in the closing 10 minutes, we're going to jump down to the third of our battleground states today, Pennsylvania. | ||
| I'm Cliff Maloney. | ||
| Tell me about the battle chasing that you're overseeing there in Pennsylvania. | ||
| Give me the good news. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, well, look, I appreciate you guys having me. | |
| Pretty simple. In Pennsylvania, Biden won in 2020 by 80,000 votes, but we had 141,000 Republicans who actually requested a mail-in ballot, but they never sent it back. | ||
| And so that's why we're here. I'm sitting here on the ground in PA. I'm chasing ballots. | ||
| That's why I'm coming here from the car. | ||
| I'm in Lancaster right now. | ||
| I'm headed to Harrisburg. But we launched this PHH program to solve that problem, to make sure as many of these Republican ballots that go out come back. | ||
| We've got 10 Airbnbs across PA, 120 full-time staff. | ||
| And our objective is simple. | ||
| We're going out to knock 500,000 doors across the entire state. | ||
| We've been out here since September 1. | ||
| I'm happy to report to you guys that we've nearly hit on 200,000 doors. | ||
| But this is the effort. | ||
| Right? We got to win PA to win PA. We've got to fix mail-in voting. | ||
| We do that and we compete. | ||
| We win the White House. | ||
| So we're excited. The numbers are optimistic in terms of the ballot requests, the returns. | ||
| These are all things we're tracking daily. | ||
| And I would much rather be Donald Trump than Kamala Harris if you're looking at the numbers. | ||
| Tell me, Cliff, what the momentum is like now in the Keystone State. | ||
| I take it you were a butler a couple of days ago, Saturday, Friday for the President's address. | ||
| Tell me about that. | ||
| Tell me what you felt there on the ground. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Butler was unlike anything I've ever experienced. | |
| I've been to plenty of rallies, plenty of events, spoken at events. | ||
| This was wild. | ||
| The energy in the room, the energy outside just completely. | ||
| You just don't see that in the political arena. | ||
| And I think it was a sign of people coming together and showing that they do want to save the republic. | ||
| Look, when people say this is the most important election of our lifetime, if you said that about John McCain or Mitt Romney, I mean, open your eyes. | ||
| This is the election that will decide the future of the republic. | ||
| I mean, that's why I'm back here in my home state, because I realize we have to win this thing. | ||
| And let me just give you a quick data point that I think showcases why the momentum is with Trump and not with Harris. | ||
| If you look at the mail-in ballot requests and you compare the requests from four years ago to today, Democrats are down over 400,000 requests compared to where they were in 2020. | ||
| Republicans are down only 87,000. | ||
| Okay, when you look at that delta, people will say, oh, there was a pandemic. | ||
| Now we're out of it. Yeah, there was a pandemic back then, and there's no pandemic now. | ||
| They're down 400,000. | ||
| We're only down 87,000. | ||
| And we only lost the state by 80,000 votes. | ||
| So when I look at that delta and you compare that to the work that Scott Pressler is doing on voter registration, we've cut in half the Democrat net advantage of registered voters in Pennsylvania. | ||
| All of these numbers add that to the idea that now polymarket, the betting markets on politics, are calling PA and the White House for Trump. | ||
| This is everything we were hoping it would be in terms of where we want to be 30 days out from the election, and I really, really feel confident that if we execute and if our voters turn out, this is ours to win, and I think we will. | ||
| Maloney, you mentioned the poly market. | ||
| I just want to go, in real time, the figures are 56% towards Trump, 44% people are betting towards Harris. | ||
| So Trump has a 12-point betting lead now, which is... | ||
| The mainstream media, of course, are telling us that there are a few people attending Trump's rallies. | ||
| The electricity seems to be gone. | ||
| The magic seems to be gone. | ||
| What you're seeing there on the spot contradicts that narrative massively. | ||
| Tell me, how long were people queuing to get in to Butler on Saturday? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I mean, there was still a line to get in at 5 o'clock when Donald Trump was going on to speak. | |
| But, I mean, people were there at 6 in the morning. | ||
| Banging down the door to try to get through Secret Service and get through security. | ||
| I mean, there were congressmen from all different states. | ||
| There were people from all over the US. And obviously, you know, we were there helping out with early vote action and turning point to help register voters and to make sure all these, especially the Pennsylvania folks, are registered. | ||
| But any of the people on the left that say there's no energy, look, I'm at the door. | ||
| I'm talking to real voters. | ||
| OK, this is not 2016. | ||
| This is not 2020. This guy took a bullet to the face. | ||
| And when we launched this PHA's program, the best thing about having 120 door knockers in the field chasing these ballots is we get a daily report, right? | ||
| I get to talk to the different members of our team and get feedback and understand and gauge what is the energy out there. | ||
| And so anybody on the left and any of the mainstream legacy media, especially those in the Uniparty, they're going to push that narrative because they've never had to deal with such energy and such excitement. | ||
| I mean, Elon Musk coming to the event and getting on stage? | ||
| I mean, talk about just this whole Robert F. Kennedy, Tulsi Gabbard, this threat to the Uniparty is what gets me so excited. | ||
| And I really think if the Democrats lose, which I really hope they do, I don't know what their base becomes to win nationally again. | ||
| They're losing huge numbers with blacks, hemorrhaging numbers with Hispanics. | ||
| All they're going to have left is illegal immigrants. | ||
| So if we win, we secure the border, I don't know if Democrats are going to be able to win a national election for years. | ||
| That's what gives me hope. | ||
| Outstanding. Cliff Maloney, where do people go to learn more about P.A. Chase? | ||

| Cliff Maloney, outstanding. | ||
| Thanks very much. Come back on the show soon and give us an update. | ||
| God bless for now. So, staying with Pennsylvania then, final two minutes, Matthew Trageser, you've got an article up on Fox right now, and a fact here that caught my eyes, you said in Pittsburgh, the migrant population there has soared by 2,000%. | ||
| Tell me a bit more about this. | ||
| Sadly, you've only got like a minute and a half to close down the show, but tell me how's this going down there? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. Good to be with you, Ben. | |
| What we're seeing in Pittsburgh is unbelievable. | ||
| As a native Pennsylvanian, someone who's been born and raised here for over 20 years, it's clear that the Biden-Harris administration's mass immigration policies are taking a toll on Pittsburgh, its suburbs. | ||
| And one town I focused in on this piece is the town of Charleroi, where they've seen a 2,000% increase in migration in the past two years. | ||
| It's pretty unbelievable considering that the town is only 4,000 people. | ||
| And so what's happening here is that taxpayers are paying hundreds of thousands of dollars extra in translation services in public schools. | ||
| There's crime concerns. | ||
| And of course, there's concerns over basically taking strains on medical rooms and emergency services cares. | ||
| Bottom line is these immigration policies are unsustainable and they're affecting Western Pennsylvania as they are with virtually every other region in the country. | ||
| Outstanding. And this article, where do people go if they want to download it, read it in their own time? | ||
| I strongly recommend that they do. | ||
