I vote because my ancestors bled and died for me to vote.
I'm voting this year because it is a civic responsibility.
It's the most direct way that a citizen has to influence what goes on in the country.
I think this is one of the most important elections of our lifetime.
I know a lot of people say that about every election, but this election is vitally important.
We have a lot at stake, and I think it's important for everyone, no matter how young, no matter how old, to get out and vote and make your voice heard.
C-SPAN's Voices 2024.
Be a part of the conversation.
The candidates are going to spend the next several days in this lead up to Tuesday, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel highlighting two events by both candidates in the same state.
This is from the Journal Sentinel this morning saying the vice president on Friday evening will hold a rally at the Wisconsin State Fair Exposition Center.
That's according to an event posting by the Democratic Party of Wisconsin.
Former President Trump will be holding a competing rally Friday evening, just six miles away at the Fiser Forum.
You'll remember that's the site of the Republican National Convention, as both candidates make a final push in the Battleground states ahead of Tuesday's election.
When it comes to some weekend events that you can keep track of, the Raleigh News and Observer this morning highlighting the fact that former President Trump will spend the weekend through North Carolina, including a stop in the Charlotte area.
The candidate will hold a rally in Gastonia on Saturday as campaign announced.
That was on Wednesday.
The event will be held at noon at the Gastonia Municipal Airport according to the campaign's announcement.
Mr. Trump, who rallied supporters in Rocky Mount recently, is also scheduled to hold a rally in Greensboro Saturday night.
And then when it comes to Vice President Harris, she'll be traveling to that Battleground state of Pennsylvania.
The headline saying that it's on Monday night that Vice President Harris will hold an election in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
If you've seen the movie Rocky, you already know the visual that she'll hold that event at, and that's according to the Philadelphia Inquirer as well.
Again, you can call us about the current state of the race, 202-748-8000.
If you support the Harris-Walls ticket, 202-748-8001, if you support the Trump Vance ticket, if perhaps at this stage you are going to support neither candidate or you're undecided at this time, 202-748-8002, and text us at 202-748-8003.
As always, stay close to our website at c-span.org and our free video app at C-SPAN now.
That's where you'll find the archive of all the events that we're taking in.
Again, the app you can do on the fly as far as you're out and about and you want to catch events there too.
Those are options that you can do as you keep track of campaign 2024.
Deborah in North Carolina, a supporter of Kamala Harris.
You are up first this morning.
Go ahead.
Good morning.
Yes, I'm supporting the Harris-Waltz ticket.
I think that people really need to take a look, a hard look at Donald Trump and understand that our democracy is at stake.
And I'm scared because I have great nieces and nephews who will be growing up in a country where things are going to be different for them.
I'm 67 years old.
I've seen quite a bit.
And the fact that Mr. Trump has this affinity to disrespect women and to just scream that he wants to make sure that women are kind of held under the thumb of men.
That's one of the reasons why I voted for Harris and Waltz.
Okay.
From James.
James is in Maine on our line for those who support the Trump Vance ticket.
James from Holden, Maine.
Hello.
Yes, hello.
Yeah, it took me a long time to decide who I was going to vote for.
I sometimes vote Democratic and sometimes I vote Republican.
I'm a registered Republican.
But this year, I was having a really hard time with it.
And I've subscribed to some Democratic magazines, and they use a lot of scare tactics about Trump.
I listened to Republican radio, and the Republican radio people kind of made me think maybe Trump was the better choice, but I had a really tough time with this one.
So thank you.
Okay, James there in Massachusetts.
Both of those calls mentioning this idea of anxiety or fear about this election.
It's a recent poll by the Associated Press and Newark saying Americans are interested, frustrated, and anxious about this upcoming election.
Here's the results saying the majority of adults feeling interested and frustrated and anxious saying that the percentage of adults for those who feel excited about the election, 61% saying that doesn't describe them this time around versus 36% saying it does describe them.
When it comes to interested in the election, 24% saying that doesn't describe them.
75% saying that that does describe them.
When it comes to being asked if they were frustrated about this election, 69% of those saying that's a sentiment they feel this time around versus 29%.
And then anxious.
Again, that same number.
69% of those respondents saying that they were anxious about this election.
It describes them.
28% saying that doesn't describe them, this election cycle.
Again, that's from the Associated Press.
You can see that there.
Frederick in New York, a supporter of the Harris Walls ticket.
Hello.
Saying that doesn't describe them.
75% saying.
Paula, you're on.
Go ahead, Frederick.
Being asked if they were frustrated about this election.
Okay, Frederick, like I said, you're going to have to turn down your television.
Again, for those waiting, if you wouldn't mind turning down that television and not depending on that feedback, it makes the conversation go a lot smoother.
Andrew in Latrobe, Pennsylvania says neither candidate he's supporting.
Go ahead.
Hey, how's it going?
My question is: you know, for normal people just working their jobs, when they see a lot of these political events and rallies, it's very foreign to them.
It's a little bit weird.
Sometimes it's awkward.
I've noticed that the candidates are starting to move into new media, doing podcasts, doing the sort of things that people consume on a more regular basis, especially young people.
I've also heard, and I'd like to know if this is true, that the Trump Vance ticket is getting a lot more views and a lot more traction on that new media.
And I'm wondering why is that?
What's going on?
Well, you're saying at this point you're supporting neither candidate.
Is that the case?
Or are you undecided?
Oh, okay.
Tell us why you're undecided.
I'm undecided because, you know, I don't think that there's, you know, a complete answer that's been given from either campaign yet.
And I like to wait until we finish the campaign before I decide.
Why do you mean a complete answer?
What I mean is, you know, it takes the full campaign to kind of let the discussion play out on a lot of these issues.
So you'll back and forth.
So you'll make that decision, you think, by Monday night?
By Tuesday morning.
By Tuesday morning.
Okay.
Andrew there in Pennsylvania giving us his thoughts on when he'll make his decision.
Also, the sources of new media.
You've seen stories about the various podcasts that both candidates have been appearing on recently.
Not only the main candidates at the top of the ticket, they are vice presidential running mates as well.
Again, you can factor that into the mix as we hear from Janice.
Janice in Tennessee, supporter of Vice President Harris.
Hello.
Hello.
Hi, Your Honor.
Good morning.
Yeah, I just Harris and Wallace is the only ticket because who owns Trump in there?
You know what he's done before?
What is he going to do again?
Worse.
I mean, he's already put women down, you know.
What's next, or voting rise?
Okay, Janice there in Tennessee, giving us their thought this morning.
If you go to Real Clear Politics, they have that section of the site where they average polls out to see or try to determine where the favor is going this time around.
When it comes to that averaging of polls, they list the polls there.
But when you take those and average them out, it's former President Trump with a 0.3% advantage at this point of the contest.
When it comes to those battleground states, the average aggregate for the former president is 0.9%.
Taking a look at the specific states, Arizona, with Mr. Trump with a 2.4% advantage, a 0.9% advantage in Nevada.
Vice President Harris with advantages in Wisconsin and Michigan both, 0.3% in Wisconsin, 0.8% in Michigan.
And then former President Trump with that 0.3% advantage in Pennsylvania, an advantage in North Carolina, and in Georgia as well at this stage.
Again, these are the aggregates of various polls that are taken.
You can take a look at what makes that up and at the Real Clear Politics site if you want to look at that.
Joanne in Massachusetts, you're next, a supporter of former President Trump.
Good morning.
Good morning.
I just want to say I don't know how Harris can go on TV and say that Trump is unstable.
She's unstable.
All she talks about is nothing.
And that's what I think of her.
She talks nothing about the policies.
She has all Biden's policies.
And I also want to say, how can she put her head on the pillow at night and think of all the people that have been killed at the border?
She never talks about the border.
She's unfit to be president.
And that's how I feel.
I'm really disgusted with her.
Joanne, there in Massachusetts, for our line for people who are voting for neither candidate or perhaps are undecided at this time from Pennsylvania.
Again, one of those battleground states a lot of people are watching these days.
We'll hear from Gary in Ardmore.
Hello.
Hi, Pedro.
I'm leaning a little bit towards Kamla Harris on a number of factors.
First was that statement made about Puerto Ricans that was in bad taste.
Whoever that guy was did that.
And, you know, we still have four days, so I guarantee you that a lot of Latino and Puerto Rican voters are going to change their minds.
Number one, and he also made a statement that was on CNN this morning where he said that he will sit Lynn Cheney on the Liz Cheney across from me and put a 50-barrel gun or something like that.
And that's going to really anger Dick Cheney, who's going to rally more Republicans towards Kamla Harris.
And really, I'm kind of leaning towards that, towards Harrison Wall stick.
And probably by Sunday, I should be able to make up my mind.
Thank you.
That's Gary there in Pennsylvania, former President Trump in Phoenix, which and statements made that the caller had referenced.
Here's the AP headline.
Trump says Liz Cheney might not be such a quote war hawk if she had guns pointed at her.
Again, that full event available at C-SPAN, but here's the portion from yesterday.
And I don't blame him for sticking with his daughter, but his daughter is a very dumb individual, very dumb.
She's a radical war hawk.
Let's put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, okay?
Let's see how she feels about it.
You know, when the guns are trained on her face.
You know, they're all war hawks when they're sitting in Washington in a nice building saying, oh, gee, Will, let's send 10,000 troops right into the mouth of the enemy.
But she's a stupid person.
And I used to have, I'd have meetings with a lot of people.
And she always wanted to go to war with people.
So whether it's her, whether it's sick, I was surprised a little bit with Dick Cheney.
I didn't know him at all.
I only had essentially the one or two phone calls, and it was only a call saying, thank you very much for doing that for Scooter Libby.
That was nice.
And Scooter Libby, by the way, was beyond.
He couldn't believe that it happened.
Nobody would do it.
They should have done that for him years before.
But I was a little surprised because I actually thought that Dick Cheney would go with me over his daughter, and he didn't.
And you know what?
I understand it.
It's your daughter, and you go.
But she's a bad person.
Those are the comments from yesterday regarding Liz Cheney from former President Trump.
Liz Cheney herself posting on X in a response saying, this is how dictators destroy free nations.
They threaten those who speak against them with death.
We cannot entrust our country and our freedom to a petty, vindictive, cruel, unstable man who wants to be a tyrant.
Again, those are the comments and thoughts from Liz Cheney from yesterday in reaction there.
Let's hear from Massachusetts, a supporter of Vice President Harris.
This is Jerry in Massachusetts.
Good morning.
Good morning.
There's so many things and issues that are going on, but a lot of issues that are against Trump are phenomenal.
He led an insurrection against our country.
He shouldn't even be able to run as president, and they're allowing him to run.
He has six bankruptcies.
People say he's good business.
He's had six bankruptcies.
He's defrauded the country.
And they say they still hold him an upstanding character.
He's the worst character I've ever seen.
And for people to downplay what Harris has done, she has done a lot all through her life.
And she stands up for a lot of American people.
And for anyone that thinks they're a patriot or anyone that thinks they're able to hold on to the sanctity of the United States, they should look really close to Trump.
Remember Billy Bush and his comments that Bush made, I mean, Trump made on that statements that he made.
Those weren't added to the onslaught of rhetoric that goes against him.
And people listening to Republican stations, they don't get that.
Okay.
They don't get that over and again.
Okay.
Joe in Ohio, supporter of neither candidate or undecided line.
Go ahead.
Yeah.
Hey, this is Joe.
And I just I got a deal where I got a ballot absentee ballot and And the problem was that there was three of us, three couples that got absentee ballots, and only half of them got their ballots.
And so I called down to the board, and they sent me another ballot, and I still haven't gotten it.
And the other two got their ballots because I come down to Florida for the winner.
I'm just wondering if that's going to be a problem with the election this year.
A supporter of former President Trump in California, Rancho Santa Margarita.
This is Rory.
Hello.
Good morning.
I'm for Trump because I can make money off of him, and that gives me more freedom with a job.
And as for the Democrats, I don't believe in them in any way they do stuff.
I also believe that when he's elected and there will be riots.
In fact, it doesn't matter who wins.
There's going to be riots.
They're boarding up at D.C. right now.
They expect it.
So I would say this.
We're going to go through trouble.
We'll get through it.
We'll get through to the other side.
And that should do it.
Rory there in California giving us his thoughts on campaign 2024.
This is where the vice president was yesterday, Las Vegas, North Las Vegas.
A joint appearance, the vice president there, but also the actress and singer J-Lo there as well.
The former the vice president, when talking and addressing supporters, here's a bit from that event in Las Vegas yesterday.
We all know who Donald Trump is.
This is not someone who is thinking about how to make your life better.
This is someone who is increasingly unstable, obsessed with revenge, consumed with grievance, and is out for unchecked power.
And look, in less than 90 days, it's either going to be him or me in the Oval Office.
And this is part of what we're fighting for, because we have the image of what it could be.
It won't be, but what it could be if he was elected.
If he were reelected on day one, Donald Trump would walk into that office with an enemies list.
When I am elected, I will walk in with a to-do list on behalf of you.
On behalf of you.
Again, that event available at our website at c-span.org, our free video app at C-SPANNOW.
Margaret in Kansas, a supporter of Vice President Harris.
You're next up.
Hello.
Good morning.
I was very shocked to hear the news this morning that somebody who's a felon and somebody that is calling for the murder of somebody can be running for president.
So I like Harris.
I like that she's focusing on health care and prices.
And she's standing up to a dictator.
And how do we have somebody that's threatening the life of people running for president?
Really, I don't understand.
Thank you.
Supporter of former President Trump.
This is Bradley in West Virginia.
Yeah, good morning, C-SPAN.
Yeah, it's kind of early here, raining.
When I turned 75, September the 10th, I changed from Democrat to Republican.
And I hated to do it, but the Democrats just got so out of line.
Just like the lady that was just on there talking about Trump going to shoot Cheney.
I did not see that way.
I seen that Cheney had a gun in her hand, and there were seven guns pointed at her, and he was trying to make a point that how brave she would be if she was in battle.
That's in war.
That's in war.
And, you know, it's sad.
I got another thing.
How is the government going to pay for all these border runners, is what I call them, and not raise taxes?
Where's the money coming from?
You're going to write blank checks and they bounce?
You know, you've got to have the money to do this.
And like Twitter guy, if that's what he wants to do, you know, giving awards out or something, you know, that's fine, but they blow that out of proportion.
They blowed, actually, they blowed the portion out of Biden saying that everybody was garbage.
It's a shame that the politicians cannot have better voices again than other politicians, no matter whether it's a Democrat or Republican.
They got to run their mouth, diarrhea of the mouth.
You know, it's pitiful.
Okay.
Let's hear from Marshall.
Marshall in Illinois, a supporter of Vice President Harris.
Hello.
Hi.
Good morning, America.
Thank you for taking my call, and thank you for this wonderful service that you provide all of us.
I can't think of any other channel out there that allows us to do this.
I think it's important that we all hear from each other.
When I was growing up in the 70s and 80s in school, I recall that we constantly would hear how in our history classes we would be blaming the German people saying, how could you let Hitler come to power?
How could you be so blind to it?
And we were constantly reminded of that.
And the German people have had to apologize for it for decades.
And I feel like this is our Hitler moment.
And all the writing is on the wall about this man.
And I just ask my fellow Americans, look in the mirror.
And if you're thinking of voting for him, is that really, it's not really a reflection of him, Donald Trump, it's a reflection of you.
Do you hold those values?
Is that truly who you are?
Because if that's who you are, that really saddens me that you are a fellow American.
And that's all I have to say.
I thank you very much for this opportunity.
We'll hear next from Meryl, and this is Ed on our line for supporting neither candidate or undecided at this point.
Ed, go ahead.
Good morning.
I'm sorry that I'm going to be the one to tell all the C-SPAN listeners the biggest news story this year is that two scientific journals have given a date for the triggering and the end of the Gulf Stream.
It's going to be this century, 2050 and 2056.
It's going to end this century with a 90% confidence in our vote.
And how does that relate to campaign 2024?
The Democrats, they want, they're trying, and the Republicans won't use science.
You can't use science and abortion and not use science on climate change.
You're saying that at this point you're voting for neither candidate or you're under undecided at this point.
Why is that?
Because the Democrats, they're right, but they can't explain it.
They can't talk and communicate.
The Republicans are combining church and state.
And the Democrats, they apparently can't explain that, or they can't say that's wrong.
They don't want to tell people how to do religion, which I understand.
But Jesus says, don't combine church and state.
Give unto Caesar what it says.
Give unto God what it says.
The First Amendment establishment cause.
Okay, that's Ed Bear in Maryland.
This is from the Associated Press this morning regarding the White House transcript and the garbage comments from President Biden.
They report, as of yesterday, the transcript that was released by White House, the press office rendered the quote with an apostrophe reading supporters with an apostrophe rather than supporters without one, which aids that pointed to Biden criticizing Tony Hinchcliffe, the comedian at the Madison Square Garden rally, not the millions of Americans who are supporting Trump for president.
The change was made after the press office, quote, conferred with the president according to an internal email from the head of the stenographer's office that was obtained by the Associated Press.
The authenticity of the email was confirmed by two government officials who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal matters.
The supervisor in the email called the press office's handling of the matter, quote, a breach of protocol and spoilation of transcript integrity between the stenography and press offices.
Going on to say, if there's a difference in interpretation, the press office may choose to withhold the transcript but cannot edit it independently, the supervisor wrote, adding our stenography office transcript related to our distro, which includes the National Archives, is now different than the version edited and released to the public by the press office staff.
There's more there in that Associated Press story.
You can find it online at AP.org.
Again, all a part of a campaign 2024-202748-8000.
If he supports the Harris-Walls ticket, 202748-8001.
If you support the Trump Vance ticket, if you at this stage are supporting neither candidate, perhaps you're undecided, 202748-8002.
A supporter of Vice President Harris in Minnesota.
This is Volcker.
Hello.
Morning.
Yeah.
I liked what the caller from Illinois said about Germany.
How did it get that far?
I grew up in Germany.
And to me, a big sign of an autocrat is they know it all and don't take no advice, don't apologize.
They think themselves perfect.
And people around him, and loyalty is a one-way street.
Only expecting loyalty, but don't giving it back.
And normally I call independent, but in this case, it's important.
And Harris volts.
Good luck to us.
Thanks.
Okay.
Sherry in Indiana, a supporter of former President Trump.
Hello.
Hi.
Guys, I don't even know where to start.
I support and I truly believe that President Trump is what our country needs now.
The caller from Illinois that we need to open our eyes.
And I think he's right on a certain part of that, only because the media for eight years, the media and the Democrats, have been brainwashing America that President Trump is bad.
I think that was obvious from the call from the lady.
I think she was from Virginia or Georgia earlier, who said that he doesn't like women, that he's always putting women down.
And that's not true.
He had the most women in his administration, more than any other Democrat or Republican in history.
So it's not true.
So people are getting too much of what they believe from the media and from the Democrat Party.
And hey, it's not like politicians and the media would never lie to us, right?
Even Pedro, I was disappointed when the guy called in and said that President Trump led an insurrection.
Nobody has been charged with insurrection.
And I wish that's probably why people don't trust the media is because you don't call it out when you see it.
I mean, I know everybody has their opinions and you have to let them have their opinions heard.
But at the same time, I've heard on C-SPAN before people being corrected, hey, that's not true.
That's not true.
But it seems to never be the case when it's on the other side.
I hope people can really, really soul search.
I try to watch the only thing I watch on Fox News is the five.
And then I switch over to News Nation and I catch Cuomo and I catch CNN to try to make sure I can have all sites to the story.
And I encourage everybody to do that.
Okay.
Ryan is next.
Ryan on our undecided line in Massachusetts.
Good morning.
Yeah, I was undecided until I heard your last caller talk about how Trump was a fascist.
The reality is Trump governed like Ronald Reagan and John F. Kennedy by cutting taxes, deregulating, and supporting the military.
Fascism is the definition of a government that uses the military to control the people.
So I don't know what the hell the Democrats are talking about.
Caller, it sounds like you were decided before you called this program.
I was decided after I heard your radical caller call in and call Trump a fascist when he's not.
Okay, that's Ryan there in Massachusetts.
Again, you can call in.
The lines are set aside for you.
We've set aside a line for those of you who support the Harris Walls ticket, the Trump fans ticket.
Neither are undecided as it currently stands.
As far as where you stand on that, you can do that too.
You can text us at 202748-8003 if you wish.
Also, if you want to post on our social media sites, facebook.com slash C-SPAN is where you can post there on X at C-SPANWJ.
Again, for the next half hour, your thoughts on campaign 2024.
You can call the lines that best represent you.
If you've done so in the last 30 days, we've asked you to hold off from doing so today.
And then as always, if you're online or waiting, you can go ahead and mute your television or turn it down if you wish or turn it off if you wish so that there's no feedback or interference.
Ohio is next, a supporter of the former president.
This is Rich and Marion.
Yeah.
Well, we're an election coming up.
After 9-11, people said never, ever, ever, just 20 people coming to our country would ever do that again.
Well, we have an open border and we have people coming in from China, Russia, North Korea on what building they're going to go after.
We have someone that wide opened the border, just closed the damn border, someone who wants to close it.
We have generals sitting there trying to figure out what to do, just close the border.
Where were they on 9-11?
And now we know what's coming at us, and people are not closing the border.
That's why Trump's going to be the right person to put in here.
And maybe we won't lose two or three buildings again and see people dying.
Have a good day.
Rich in Ohio.
The Atlanta Journal Constitution reports this morning when it comes to election results next week for their state at least, saying that results in Georgia will come in faster than ever after the polls close on Tuesday night, giving the nation an early look at which way a critical swing state is leaning soon after 8 o'clock in the evening.
Early and absentee votes for president, roughly three quarters of all votes, will be posted online and broadcast across the world.
The election day results will pour in, likely finishing before midnight.
The rapid results are required by a new state law that calls for all early votes and most absentee votes to be reported within an hour of polls closing.
Legislators mandated the early results reporting to help address suspicions about ballots being counted in the dead of night, giving rise to the kind of conspiracy theories seen during the 2020 election.
This adding that this year, Georgia is poised to be one of the quickest counting states in the nation.
But that doesn't necessarily mean voters will know whether the vice president or the former president will win on election night.
That's the Atlanta Journal Constitution, if you want to see that story there.
Let's hear from Ohio.
This is Sarah, a supporter of Vice President Harris.
Hello.
Yes, hi.
Good morning, America.
I'm supporting Harris when I go and vote on November 5th.
There was a professional economist on MSNBC this morning, and she's supporting Harris.
I didn't listen completely at what she had to say, so I had to tune in to C-SPAN.
And I want to comment on the economy that Biden was given, and he's a Democrat.
He worked his way out of the terrible pandemic that we had.
And I'm not dissupping him because I'm a Democrat.
I feel that the Democrats always hand over a good economy to the Republican, and they run it every time.
And that was explained by Barack Obama because he said he handed a good economy to President Trump, and he messed it up.
So now we're digging our way out of a pandemic and a rotten economy that he couldn't handle.
He couldn't handle the pandemic either.
So, yes, I'm going to vote and stay with Democrats.
Okay, Massachusetts is next.
A supporter of former President Trump.
We'll hear from Dan.
Go ahead.
Hi, thank you for having me on.
I think this morning, I mean, I see it every single day, but this morning really hits home as far as why the American public are so up in arms and so on one side or another.
And the reason is this: Trump talked about Liz Cheney because she's a warmonger and she likes to go to wars.
He was putting into perspective how would she feel if she was the one being at war, right?
That's exactly what he said talking to Tucker Carlson.
But you have this morning on programs like Morning Joke, where they have seven, they have professors, you know, everyone the left would want to listen to for facts.
Every single one of them stating that Donald Trump wanted to kill Liz Cheney, and that's what he was going to do.
And Pedro, you sat there when a caller said the same thing and you said nothing.
Can you, do you have a comprehension problem?
Something this important, and you have the media and the public being misled saying Trump wants to kill Liz Cheney.
That's unacceptable.
Okay.
Completely unacceptable.
All right.
Dwight, next in California.
Either neither supporting a candidate or supporting neither candidate or undecided at this stage.
Dwight, hello.
Good morning, Pedro.
Good morning, Washington Journal.
Yes, Pedro, I'm not supporting any of the candidates.
I haven't voted for a presidential candidate since Barack Obama.
And I have no clue where they even give us these choices of what we have to choose from.
It's utterly ridiculous.
I have voted already.
I voted absentee here in California.
We had a lot of things.
We have a lot of things going on here, especially on the down ballots that we have going on and school boards, trustees, city council, et cetera.
Things in Washington, D.C., Pedro, in my opinion, you know, it's too much money involved in this stuff.
And I'm listening to the right side, I'm listening to the left, and everybody's correct on one side, and everybody's wrong on the other side.
In America, we're just doing all this internal fighting, and it doesn't make any sense.
And one last thing, Pedro.
I hear people talk about policy all the time.
We are under the rule of law.
A president can set a policy anytime he wants to.
If it's not law, then the next president that comes can change it.
So until the legislators, Congress and the Senate, get together and pass laws, nothing's going to change.
Okay.
Okay.
Dwight there in California, giving us his thoughts.
Again, you can continue on the phone lines, sending us texts, posting on our social media sites.
The caller mentioned down ballot issues when it comes to this year's election.
One of those issues, school choice.
USA Today reporting that it's on the ballot in three states, saying that the ballot items in Colorado and Kentucky propose adding language supporting school choice to their state's constitutions, but neither lays out specifics for a statewide program, saying that if the Colorado and Kentucky measures passed, the states would join at least 29 states in the District of Columbia, which already have some form of school choice language on the book, according to Education Week.
It also highlights in Nebraska a measure to aim to repeal a $10 million school voucher program its state legislature passed this year, putting that decision in the hands of voters.
Again, USA Today is where you'll find that story when it comes to those down ballot and initiative issues on ballots across the United States.
In Virginia, this is John, a supporter of Vice President Harris.
Hello.
Good morning, Brian.
I just want to, I am shocked that the previous caller that's accusing you while you don't respond.
This guy, they think they know everything.
They don't know what the hell they're talking about.
They listen to Foxy.
But the reason I call is the reality is dictators, they make first time, one-time mistake.
Next time, they don't make a mistake.
Donald Trump, he made a mistake first time, he became a president.
Next time, he's not going to make a mistake.
I grew up what the dictator can do to you.
The issue is not about whether Donald Trump should be a president or not.
The president has some kind of dignity that he runs with the country.
Donald Trump doesn't have that.
Insulting a woman day in and day out, it's not policy.
And I'm sick and tired about those people who are calling and think that Donald Trump, what he did against females, is acceptable.
If you have a wife and you have daughters, think about one minute.
If someone talked to your daughter that way, you have to understand one thing.
America, you don't know what you have.
Believe me, you don't know what you have, the freedom that you have.
You think this freedom comes easy.
It did not.
Okay, David up next in Maryland, a supporter of former President Trump.
Hello.
Yes, thanks for taking the call this morning, Pedro.
I'm totally a Trump fan.
You know, when Trump was in there, the economy was great.
You know, our borders were secure.
And, you know, the last guy talking about, you know, that nonsense, that was totally ridiculous.
Anybody that's a Kamala supporter, they're totally asina and total idiots.
I mean, that was, you know, what she is doing to this country.
She's going to make our country, you know, a communist country.
She is anti-God, anti-America.
And we don't need that.
We're not running for that, even in the year 2024.
You know, we still need our values we have in God, family, and country.
And Trump is, you know, he's a great guy.
He done, you know, when he was in there four years, eight years ago, he done a wonderful job.
And he's going to continue doing a wonderful job.
I mean, Kamala is nothing but a liar.
Thanks for taking my call.
Another David, this one from Florida, a supporter of Vice President Harris.
You're next.
Yeah.
Yeah.
From Pensacola, Florida.
You're on.
Go ahead.
Yeah.
I want to ask all of the Trump supporters, where were they at when Cubans flocked to Florida in South Florida and stole blacks jobs?
No, Trump is a racist toward blacks like Obama.
And he was out there and saying that Obama was not born in the United States of America.
He's a racist as all get out.
And he is just like Adolf Hitler.
And I don't, and I'm a moderate Republican, and I'm voting for Kamala Harris.
And I already voted for Kamala Harris.
And these far-right-wing radical Republicans are nothing but garbage.
Okay, Ray in Tennessee, supporter of former President Trump.
You're next.
Hello.
Hello.
Yes.
I just, my comment is that the Republican Party is a common sense party's bottom line.
I'm an 80-year-old man, a Vietnam vet, and I'm sitting in my living room watching the Wheel of Fortune.
And they're sending people to Hanoi for a vacation.
And then that's the same thing with the young men that fought in Afghanistan.
They're going to do the same thing.
Donald Trump wants a strong military so we do not have to go in these foreign wars and lose American people.
That is common sense, basic knowledge.
And if the Democrats can't understand it, they're paranoid people.
Thank you.
Ray in Tennessee, there are political reporting as of last evening that with four days until the election, the clock is ticking for Donald Trump to engage Nikki Haley on the campaign trail if he even wants to at all.
Haley, the last Republican candidate to drop out during the primaries, has said that she remains on standby for the Trump campaign.
She has put her name on fundraising and has spoken favorably of her former political rival on the media and the main stage at the Republican National Convention.
But at a time when Mr. Trump is lagging with women and Democrats have been courting so-called Haley voters, Republicans who cast a protest ballot for her in GOP primaries after she dropped out, Mr. Trump has so far chosen not to schedule any appearances with his former UN ambassador in the final strength.
This story adding that the Trump and Haley teams have remained in contact about appearing together, according to campaign officials.
A spokesperson for Haley did not return a request for comment, but this adding that the former president's been largely dismissive of the idea.
Yando in California, a supporter of former President Trump talking about campaign 2024.
You're next.
Good morning.
Hello.
Good morning, Pedro.
I'm calling in support of Donald Trump.
I voted for him the first time, and also because this country will be able to see the Grover Cleveland effect in our lifetime.
Also, the fact that he got shot a couple months ago, he's still confident.
You don't see him running around with a bulletproof vest or overly paranoid.
He's more visible.
You see him going to work every day, talking about his policies.
I'm an idle black male, and I also feel like a lot of blacks can relate to him for two reasons.
One, I'm a felon.
He is a felon.
And also, he has children for multiple women.
And nobody is perfect in this world.
The only thing that's perfect is the spelling of the word.
And if I was running his campaign, it would say Donald Trump, America's choice, America's answer.
Thank you for allowing me to speak this morning.
Ohio next, this is from Richard, a supporter of Vice President Harris.
Go ahead.
Good morning, America.
I support Harris and Wallace.
I've already voted early.
Things work real well in Ohio.
I am curious, where is Donnie Jr., Eric, Ibanka, and Jared?
Were they asked to stay away, or maybe they don't support the old man?
And in regards to Vance from Ohio, which I am from, I have never heard of Vance until he showed up on the scene.
He called Trump Hitler, and Trump thinks he has a cool beard, so that's why he's going to be running with him as vice president.
And my last saying is, God and Trump, they just plain don't go together.
Senator Vance was in North Carolina yesterday, a stop at High Point University in a town hall forum with younger voters, and then also spoke about what the next election, at least to him, means for younger voters.
Here are his thoughts from yesterday.
I think younger voters, in some ways, have the most to lose or the most to gain from getting this election either right or wrong.
Because, you know, one of the things that worries me when I hear Kamala Harris speak is I hear a person who doesn't have strong or sincere views about what she actually wants to do.
Set to the side any policy disagreement you might have with Kamala Harris, and I have a lot.
And set to the side, by the way, policy disagreements you might have with a person like Barack Obama.
And I have a lot there.
What I would say for Barack Obama, but I would not say for Kamala Harris, is that he actually has beliefs and thoughts in his head for how he wants to govern the United States of America.
And I hate to say that, I don't think you can say this about Kamala Harris.
Now, the problem there is that that person becomes an empty vessel for whatever the prevailing ideas that are governing in Washington, D.C. are.
And what are the prevailing ideas that are governing in Washington, D.C. that affect young people disproportionately?
Number one, that we should use our young people as cannon fodder for foreign military misadventures that are frankly going to get a lot of your peers killed unless we have a smarter foreign policy.
I think you guys have a lot to lose because we are on the precipice of many broad regional wars, potentially even a world war.
Do you want a person like Kamala Harris negotiating in private rooms with people like Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping?
Or do you want a guy like Donald Trump actually sticking up for the United States of America?
I think the answer to that question is obvious.
The second prevailing idea in Washington, D.C., is that we should let in millions upon millions of illegal immigrants who compete against young Americans for important jobs, who undercut the wages of American workers.
And it's American workers of every color, every background.
But we have to recognize that when you let in millions upon millions of illegal aliens, it really severely undercuts the wages of people, especially people who are entering the workforce, which is true of every person in this room.
Again, that's available at the website at the app.
Let's hear from Deborah in Maryland, an undecided voter.
Hello.
Good morning, C-SPAN.
I appreciate hearing the views from my fellow Americans.
Typically, I vote on policy and the policies of the candidates.
This is whether I'm voting for Senate or president.
And I really believe that climate change is one of the major issues of our time.
I am now going to my school.
I'm a school teacher.
And never in my life have I seen 80-degree temperatures on a Halloween.
And one of the important things that the president does is he allows different people to control branches of government that affect all of us, like the EPA, FDA, Department of Housing.
And if we really don't get our climate change policy under control and try to meet the standards of the international standards for what we have to do, our world is going to change for our children and our grandchildren.
So that the idea of a white Christmas or any of these things is going to be a thing of the past.
And one of the reasons why that is so important is though, even though we have a lot of movement, we think because of migrants coming in or immigrants coming in, it will completely change our way of life if we don't get climate change under control.
And he, the president, he or she is going to control the outcome of the EPA, in particular for the next four years.
It's so critical that we have someone that understands the science of what is happening.
Thank you.
In Mississippi, a supporter of the vice president, this is Tracy.
Hello.
Good morning.
Hi, Your Hon. Yes.
I have one question.
I want to ask a question to America.
How are y'all voting for Trump with all these terms against him?
And he has not done nothing in the last four years that he was in office.
And I think the government system is messed up for letting him be on the ballot as a president, running for president.
And I am voting for Kamala Harris and Walls.
And thank you.
Okay, Tracy in Mississippi.
Governor Walls in Bucks County, Pennsylvania yesterday.
Campaign stopped there talking about economic policy.
Here's a portion from yesterday.
Under Kamala Harris, Pennsylvania created over 560,000 jobs, including 28,000 men.
And she sat on the wall the other day and spoke and looked like a president and talked about unifying this country.
she laid out a list of what we're going to do going forward.
Because she told you on that day, and you know she will do it, she's going to go into the White House with a to-do list, not an enemy's list.
Starts with lowering costs for families and putting more money back in your pocket.
That is the priority every single day.
For starters, we'll enact the first ever federal price gouging ban on groceries.
Now, so everybody, I hear people say, well, what's that about?
Here's a couple examples of price gouging.
We got a hurricane coming.
They're telling you to get the heck out of Florida.
And airline tickets went through the roof.
That's not capitalism.
That's not free market.
That's unethical taking care of.
That's price gouging.
Just so no.
Oh, grocery prices are up.
Well, guess what?
Our farmers, my farmers in Minnesota, when grocery prices were lower, they were getting about four bucks a bushel for corn.
Now grocery prices are really high and farmers are getting about four bucks a bushel for corn.
You get it.
That's price gouging.
37 states, Democrats and Republicans, have laws in that.
She'll do that.
And then we'll focus the tax cuts on the middle class.
100 million Americans.
The single best tax cut that you make that reduces childhood poverty at a rate unseen is a child tax credit.
We propose $6,000 for the first year of that child's life to America.
A lot of events leading up to next Tuesday.
To give you a rundown of what to expect today as part of our campaign 2024 coverage, it will continue with the Republican Vice Presidential nominee JD Vance in Portage, Michigan.
You can see that at 1 o'clock this afternoon on the platforms there at 3.30 this afternoon.
The governor, Governor Walls, who you just heard from, will be in Flint, Michigan.
And then later on, former President Trump expected to speak in supporters in Warren, Michigan.
All that up for today.
And then Governor Walls on C-SPAN 2, you can see him in Detroit as they continue making their case up to Election Day.
JD Vance in Selma, North Carolina, later on in the afternoon on C-SPAN 2.
And then tonight in Wisconsin, which we told you about 7 o'clock, this is Kamala Harris in Little Chute, Wisconsin there.
You can follow along on the main channels, C-SPANS 1 and 2, our app, our video app, C-SPAN now, and as part of our coverage there.
Rachel in North Carolina, a supporter of former President Trump.
Hello.
Yes.
Hi.
Good morning.
My name is Rachel.
I'm from Monroe, North Carolina.
Just God bless you all today.
I hope that you all are praying about the right choices to make for this campaign.
The only thing that I can say is that Ms. Harris, Vice President Harris, I got a phone call yesterday from her campaign saying that at our polls on Tuesday, there would be a party.
And that's the clarity in what I have with what she has set forth.
We had the hurricane in the mountains and pushing all of this electric vehicle stuff.
People would have been down without vehicles at that point.
Yes, there should be regulations on climate contrainment change and stuff, but you have to think outside the box sometimes.
The only thing that I have a definite on what she has proposed and sat before us is that she'll sit down at the table and we're having a party at our polls.
So let's pray about this election and everybody have a blessed day.
Oregon in Beaverton, this is Sharon, supporter of Vice President Harris.
Hi there.
Hi.
I just have a couple of points.
And the first one is, it's always brought up, were you better four years ago?
Well, we weren't.
Four years ago, we were locked in our homes.
You couldn't buy toilet paper.
People were dying by the hundreds of thousands.
We were being told to drink bleach.
I'm a lot better now.
I can go out.
I can buy stuff, et cetera.
Also, let's look back at his track record.
The two big things he did, the big tax cut that by far helped the top 1%, which I'm not.
I'm a retired person.
It didn't help me at all.
The second thing he did was a tariff, which he had to spend millions of dollars to prop up the farmers because they lost their Chinese and their et cetera, their outlets to sell their products.
That didn't help us.
And it raised prices.
Now, he's talking about big tariffs again.
Haven't we learned from the last time when somebody does something and it doesn't work, why are you applauding it now?
Even the Wall Street Journal says that his economic plan is far worse.
That's the Wall Street Journal, a Republican paper.
Okay.
Okay.
Thomas is next in Maryland on our Undecided line.
Hello.
Yeah, you know, I'm roughly undecided.
I look at what folks are saying about the Democratic Party and how they've been soft on border security issues, and I take that into consideration.
I also look at the economy.
People are like, oh, you know, inflation is high.
I take that into consideration.
I also take into consideration that job unemployment is at a historical low.
I also look at, as a former, as a veteran myself, I look at really the consideration of former Trump staff.
I think about Vice President Mike, former Vice President Mike Pence.
He said Trump is unfit to lead.
I look at James Mattis and John Kelly.
These individuals are not far-left individuals.
These are conservative Christian individuals.
So as a former military member, you know, even if I think sometimes maybe Trump hasn't maybe has a decent economic plan, even though he doesn't talk about it, or he says he's going to increase tariffs, which I think is not a great idea.
I also look at what these individuals have said, and I'm like, okay, your former chief of staff and Secretary of Defense think that you're unfit to lead.
I have to take that into serious consideration when making a decision.
So that's it.
One more call.
This will be from Allie in New York, supporter of former President Trump.
Hello.
Hey, I'm calling from Albany, New York.
I voted for Trump as soon as we were able to.
The Democratic Party is controlled by George Soros, who wants an open society.
He wants wide open borders, and he's the Democrats' biggest donor.
If you vote for Camilla Harris, they will keep the borders wide open.
We have like 20 million here already that invaded our country.
