And I'm Mary Catherine Hamm.
We've been around the block in media and we're doing things differently.
Normally is about real conversations.
Thoughtful, try to be funny, grounded, and no panic.
We'll keep you informed and entertained without ruining your day.
Join us every Tuesday and Thursday, normally on the iHeartRadio app Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.
All right, glad you're with us this election day, 800-941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, what's great about our coverage today, and uh we'll we'll take this straight till 6 o'clock Eastern is that we have all of our friends, all of our polsters, all of the people on the campaigns that that are deep in the weeds in every state that matters that are doing all the digging for us,
and they're going to be sharing all that information all through uh out the day, including our polsters, uh Matt Towery, John McLaughlin, uh Robert Cahaley is going to be with us, uh the vice president will check in today, Mike Pence.
Uh, we'll talk to uh Martha McSally out in Arizona.
By the way, I let me let me start with some good news.
For some reason, people I when I explain and analyze what the president's path to 270 electoral votes, you know, I I maybe there are people that want me to be so overly optimistic and polyamic.
I'm not.
I'm a realist.
Get me to 270, get me that number, and when I hear the words, we can now project Donald J. Trump has been re-elected.
I'm I am acting as though and knowing that every single solitary vote matters.
What I can report to you, and and this is information I've been on the phone all day with people all over the country, is every state that matters, and we've gone over them, probably ad nauseum, is showing incredible heavy turnout in Republican areas.
Uh, as a matter of fact, this just broke on the Washington Examiner's website uh about our the Trump team is saying, wow, of the 12 battleground states, our people are showing up.
In other words, look, you you break it into counties, you break it into towns, you break it into cities, you break it into districts, and we are we're doing better with the get out the vote effort.
Um, while at the same time, which is pretty fascinating, is that you've got the the Biden camp saying, Oh, well, we can win even if we don't win Florida and Pennsylvania.
Oh, is that is that the message that you want to send on election day?
Um, but that is exactly what they said.
Uh who was it?
I guess it was the campaign manager for Joe Biden.
And it literally what was the tweet that went out?
It said, uh, oh, Biden camp manager Jen O'Malley Dillon.
We continue to have multiple pathways to 270 electoral votes, and says that they can win 270 electoral votes even without Pennsylvania and Florida.
Uh not exactly the most uh optimistic measure, but so uh as I've anecdotally and you'll hear from people uh on the ground that no Florida, on the ground that no Georgia, on the ground that no Ohio,
on the ground that no North Carolina, on the ground that no Iowa, uh Arizona is a becoming a very critical state here, as is Nevada, as we now have a poll out today that actually shows Donald Trump, and this could be very crucial, very key, um, as it relates to uh Nevada as sort of like the plan B, if if plan A didn't work out the way that that you would want it to work out for the Trump campaign.
So I'm my my mind is focused on the actual wins, electoral votes, the voting turnout, and the one thing I can absolutely tell you is that all of the states that I have been mentioning and keep mentioning are absolutely as of 311, 312 Eastern time, and that would be 12, well, 13 minutes after 12 noon on the West Coast.
This is a absolutely winnable race for Donald J. Trump.
And more importantly, I'd even say that he's the favorite based on what I'm hearing and seeing as of now.
It means nothing if you take it for granted and you don't do your part.
If you don't want what Joe and Kamala Harris are offering, and you don't want socialism in America, and you don't want amnesty, open borders, higher taxes, the end of fossil fuels and fracking and coal and oil exploration and the destruction of the energy sector, uh, then you know what you got to do.
You got to do your part.
You know, Russia's one vote, I'm one vote.
Mark Levin's one vote.
You know, those of us that are that have an opinion that's conservative on Fox, uh, we're only one vote, and it really, as I've been saying, is you are the ultimate jury, and this is the ultimate day.
Now, one other thing that I've got to point out about election day is that it is critical day of voting for Republicans, even with, you know, the banking of nearly a hundred million ballots before today.
It is critical day of voting for Republicans and every one of the states that matter.
Now, the states we'll be paying the most attention to is well, the state of Florida.
Obviously, Donald Trump needs to win now his new home state of Florida.
The state of Georgia is critical.
Uh, it was a lot closer in the governor's race.
That's why a lot of people have paid attention to it.
Uh, what I'm hearing in out of in terms anecdotally, out of Georgia today is nothing but good news.
Matt Towery knows Georgia better than anybody else.
He'll give us uh a report, what he's hearing on the ground in real time throughout the program today.
Uh our good friend Billy Cunningham uh giving me good reports out in the great state of Ohio in the Buckeye State.
No Republicans made it to the White House without winning Ohio.
Uh North Carolina was a little closer, a little worrisome with early voting.
Uh that seems to that trend is now reversed, but very important that the people of North Carolina that you get out, get in line, wait, vote, and do your part.
Uh and the same, therefore goes for Iowa, the same goes for Arizona, the same goes for Nevada.
Now, then you then we get to the states that, okay, become more difficult, but this is what made the difference.
Now you got to remember something else, and people seem to forget.
In 2016, Donald Trump won the state of Michigan.
He didn't win it, but you know, he won it, but by 10,700 votes.
That's why I am talking about this in terms of just how critical and how important this every single vote is, and that you do your part.
We got close in Minnesota last time.
Uh it seems that Kanye West is, according to um our friend at uh uh Robert Kahaley, he's saying, you know, if Kanye West wasn't on a on the ballot in Minnesota, Donald Trump would have a uh a better than you know 50-50 shot of winning Minnesota this time.
Uh getting good reports out of Wisconsin.
I just got off the phone with Rines Previs.
He'll be sending me information throughout the program as well.
Uh but we only won uh Michigan by 10,700 votes.
Well, 22, 3,000 in the state of Wisconsin.
That's how close it was there, and 44,000 votes in the state of Pennsylvania.
Worried about the court ruling, obviously in Pennsylvania.
I would expect at some point in the next 24 hours is going to be some legal challenge with something to do with with Pennsylvania in some way, shape, matter, or form, uh, which is why every single vote in every one of these states that I have just mentioned absolutely positively matters.
You know, Democrats start, they they've got all the 50, what, five electoral votes out of California?
They got New York, they got New Jersey, they've got Illinois, they got Oregon, they got the state of Washington.
That's a that's a pretty big advantage going into election day.
Uh I'm told Texas turnout, Republican counties is massive.
Not that worried as about Texas as other people have been.
But but these are the states that matter.
And the magic number is 270.
You know, there are scenarios, for example, if the president were to win Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, okay, but lose Arizona, we're only at 268 votes.
How many times have you heard me mention Maine's second congressional district?
That is a separate, that is one electoral vote.
That gets you to 269-269.
At that point, it goes to Congress, and then the states all get a vote, which means that the Republicans would win.
Believe it or not, we'd lose.
I think Montana's a state.
That's why, you know, Nebraska, the second congressional district there also is one electoral vote.
You know, you could literally have a scenario, and that that scenario would be the president wins all the states.
I've been telling you he needs to win, wins Pennsylvania, but loses, say, God forbid, Arizona.
At that point, if he got the two electoral votes, one from Nebraska too, one from Maine too, then he would he would be at the magic number, 270 votes.
So, you know, I'm looking at this really this is mathematical, but more importantly, this is about you.
This is your day.
You have the power.
It's not all these forces that have so aligned against this president for the last four years, desperately want to defeat him.
These are powerful institutional forces.
You know, there's Jim Comey, Mr. Higher Honor himself that signed the phony Pfizer warrants uh that had Russian misinformation and disinformation in it, and he signed three of them.
Uh Mr. Higher Honor, you know, is out there tweeting with his Biden Harris shirt on.
Really?
You're that arrogant, Jim?
Unbelievable.
When you should be going back to the Pfizer court correcting the lies that you told the court, which is part of the law, not what the law calls for.
By the way, all the deep state investigations will die if Donald Trump, God forbid, ever lost this election.
Um, but there's so much at stake, and and there's so much on the line.
It is the the I what's so different about this election is beyond the fact that they're running somebody that everybody's covering for that we all know is is just cognitively out of it, Joe Biden.
Uh it is it, and they're just that it's the greatest it that in and of itself is a are you kidding me?
But you got big tech, the 99% of the media, all these social media companies on top of it, the Democratic Party establishment, weak Rhino Republicans.
You know, Rush was asked about this on Fox and Friends today, and I was watching this morning.
He had the best answer.
He goes, you know, all these all these people that that claim to be the intellectual powerhouses of of conservative thought and conservative leadership, and they take people on these expensive cruises every year because they were all making a fortune on it.
How many times I've been offered a Hannity, do a Hannity cruise shit, which I don't like cruising.
Well, no, no, no, you can get a free trip out of it and everything.
I'm like, I I don't want a free trip on a cruise.
I don't want to be on a boat stuck unless I'm out in the uh Bering Sea and deadliest uh catch.
I want to go out with those guys or the Wicked Tuna guys.
Um, but but in all seriousness, and now they'll support Biden.
They were never conservatives.
And you know what it is?
He said it, they're jealous.
Because they've got everything they'd ever won as conservatives with Donald Trump, and yet they don't support him.
And they work actively against him.
It's unbelievable.
All right, a lot of ground to cover.
We're covering the entire country.
Here's my main message to all of you.
Get out and vote and do your part.
And if you have to wait, wait.
Dress warmly if it's cold where you are.
And put in the time.
If you want to stop the most radical agenda and defeat these powerful institutional forces that don't really think too much of us, we're chumps, irredeemable, deplorables, smelly Walmart, Trump supporting shoppers, and of course, bitter Americans clinging to God, our second amendment rights, our Bibles, and religion, which is what that they really also hate us.
Uh, putting that aside.
Hey there.
I'm Mary Catherine Hamm.
And I'm Carol Markovitz.
We've been in political media for a long time.
Long enough to know that it's gotten, well, a little insane.
That's why we started normally a podcast for people who are over the hysteria and just want clarity.
We talk about the issues that actually matter to the country without panic, without yelling, and with a healthy dose of humor.
We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take the truth seriously.
So if you're into common sense, sanity, and some occasional SAS.
You're our kind of people.
Catch new episodes of Normally every Tuesday and Thursday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen.
All right, 25 till the top of the hour.
Let me give you some information that we are getting in as of an hour ago in Florida.
Now you this was very, very interesting because election day votes in Florida immediately, within like minutes, had canceled out uh the Democratic lead.
Republicans in Florida outvoted Democrats by 20,000 votes as of 7.20 a.m. before the panhandle.
Remember, they get an extra hour to vote.
Those of you in the panhandle, Destin, Fort Walton Beach, et cetera, very, very important that you get online in time, that they they keep the polls open.
Uh out voting.
Remember, in Pinellas County, which is crucial in the I-4 corridor, uh, Republicans uh have been showing up in massive numbers out voting Democrats there.
And again, anecdotally, but uh as of about an hour ago, 157,000 plus Republicans.
Now, what that means is if you you know go back just uh, you know, four years ago, uh, the Republicans won uh by by far less margin, by about I think it was 107,000, 113,000 votes is the number.
Uh, for the Biden campaign manager to say we continue to have multiple pathways to 270 electoral votes, and then say, well, we can get to 270 even without Pennsylvania and Florida.
Who would say that the day of if you're with a campaign?
But we're getting updates, uh, especially in in very key states.
I got a very good report.
We'll get a more detailed report, though.
I want to give you up to up-to-date numbers from uh Ryan's previous in Wisconsin, uh, where in Republican counties he said the turnout is remarkable.
The Philly GOP uh said people are showing up for Donald Trump and in this four-hour wait in these heavily Republican era areas in turnout Montgomery County, for example.
Uh and, you know, turnout is way more than anticipated.
At this rate, you know, Donald Trump will be announced the winner tonight in Philadelphia, which I don't think is going to happen based on the words of the attorney general in the state of Pennsylvania.
Well, we'll be counting votes till Friday.
Although it was the lieutenant governor in Pennsylvania saying, excuse me, are you looking at these crowds?
These are not photoshopped.
These are real crowds all over Pennsylvania.
So we're watching that very closely today as as well.
But it it look, these every one of these individual states that we mention as we get to a pathway to 270 electoral votes matter.
Every single one of them.
Um, you know, of course, you know, we we know the Biden strategy with his 600 attorneys and the advice from Hillary Clinton under no circumstances do you concede.
Uh, we know the mob and the media.
Uh you're gonna see something tonight that you've never seen on election night, and that is a media that is suppressed and won't want to declare clear victories in individual states.
Of course, it benefited Joe Biden, and I'm sure they'd be glad to.
Axios has a report that Joe Biden is counting on the mob uh not to pronounce Trump the winner tonight under any circumstances.
This is scary stuff.
Uh, but anyway, the Biden campaigns preparing for a long election night, warning the country, the media to ignore any victory declaration from President Trump before all the ballots are counted.
Guess we have to figure out how many we need to manufacture.
Um lot of poll watchers, a lot of reports.
There's one on saying that there's been uh some campaigning at different poll areas in Pennsylvania.
Poll watchers have been denied access.
We're hearing reports of that happening.
We're watching that very closely.
Uh Biden now putting out will assert control and to begin to form a government if the media declare him the winner.
Wow, that's pretty arrogant on his part.
Um so this is probably going to be uh this is we're entering on charted waters here.
Um fascinating to watch the pollsters from Investors Business Daily and the Tip poll to Marist and and the MBC poll.
You know, all of a sudden in the last 48 hours, boy, this got awfully close.
You know, Nate Silver, who's been out there, the founder of 538, you know, saying that uh just because we're giving Biden a 90% likelihood of winning, doesn't mean that Trump can't win.
Well, in their final polling analysis uh and their national forecast, they made a last minute adjustment to their prediction of a Biden victory.
They dropped from ninety to eighty-nine point two percent, so he's favored rather than clearly favored.
Uh I guess that means uh uh, if we get it wrong again like we did in 2016, I guess that means our business is probably going to collapse.
The Marist MBC polls showed literally their words, the collapsing of Biden's lead in states like Pennsylvania and Arizona.
Again, anecdotally, we're hearing from all these states that I keep mentioning Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Ohio, uh, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arizona, that there are in Republican areas heavy turnouts.
So if you're going to be voting, you know, please, if you're online, please don't say uh this is gonna take too long.
Your vote is necessary.
Every vote matters.
Remember, only seventy-eight thousand votes led Donald Trump to victory in the state of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan combined.
Anyway, our pollsters are with us.
Matt Towery, insider advantage, John McLaughlin is with us.
Uh uh Ken uh Cashish, I'm sorry, Kiss Craig Asichian.
I said Casishian.
There you go.
Sorry, Craig.
Um is with us.
Matt, let's start with you.
Uh you know Florida, you know Georgia, you know North Carolina as well as anybody.
Those are three states that you're really the expert at.
Let's start with you.
Well, I can update those numbers in Florida a little bit.
The Republicans are now up to 162 uh thousand ballot advantage.
Uh in from what I'm hearing, if they can get to above 200,000 to 250, then then Florida is not obtainable by the Democrats regardless, which means this Republican turnout, which which Marco Rubio just tweeted out is is is going to be historic apparently, has to continue throughout the day.
But based on the trends we see, if that continues, Florida's going to go for Donald Trump.
In Georgia, again, the turnout model right now is not working out for the Democrats.
They needed an African American turnout of somewhere around 31 to 32 percent.
Even today with same day voting, it's sitting at where it was uh last night, which is 27.7 of overall vote.
You know, that is if Georgia continues to vote in the pattern it is, so Republicans will have to continue to turn out the levels they are.
But from the reports I'm seeing in both of those states, um, those are two, by the way, in Nate Silver's model that you just mentioned, that he shades as blue on a pathway to 270 for Donald Trump.
You take those two states out of the equation and put them in the red, and his 89% starts to collapse.
It begins to melt.
And there just aren't that many other states that Trump has to take, but they're they're critical ones.
North Carolina, we think that's gonna be close, although uh the insiders there say they think it's it's going to go Trump, and our poll had it going Trump.
So all three of those states right now are looking good at the moment.
If the Republican trend lines continue in terms of their voting, which seems to be much stronger today uh than the Democrats.
They're saying from the Trump campaign that their turnout is exceeding 2016 levels in Florida, Texas, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Georgia, which are the ones and and we're looking at those early.
Uh John McLaughlin, you've been doing a lot of polling for the campaign.
Where do you see it as of now?
Uh 344 Eastern time.
You know, this is like deja vu all over again.
Four years ago, we said we had to drive the vote on election day on your program, on your program, and we and we did because we couldn't take any vote for granted.
Um and the president won, thank God by 78,000 votes out of 139 million cash.
Now it's going to break that record.
And when you think it's 7 o'clock, most of Florida is closing.
So we're we're running by them right now in the number of vote totals, but we still need more.
Georgia, the same thing.
They close at 7 o'clock.
Our voters are getting out there.
We're doing very well in the in the rural areas, the whole county that they're coming out, but we have to drive out some more.
And uh 8 o'clock, the panhandle in Florida closes.
And that's where Republicans as and President Trump won two to one last time.
And that's what's making the uh Democrats very nervous.
But you also get at 8 o'clock, you get Michigan closing the east eastern part of that state, the eight o'clock uh polls closed on Pennsylvania, where they had a silver alert today, you know, in Delaware on I-95.
Joe Biden got out of the basement, he drove up by 95 to look at the empty polling places in uh their the Democrat areas in in Pennsylvania.
But in Pennsylvania, uh the Republicans are coming out in the small towns in the rural areas, and we got to get enough in there because they've got a lot of uh mail-in ballots that they're they're closing.
So our troops still have to come out and vote.
They still have to get out and vote for President Trump today.
And if they do, we will win.
But we still have time where they got to go out and vote.
This is where I am the realist.
This is where I like to, you know, create the the r reality of this is where I refuse to be poly uh Polly Anish.
This is where I refuse to get into the prediction model business, because the reality is is that everybody if everybody does their part, if if if, then absolutely Donald Trump will get re-elected.
And it's gotta happen in these very specific states, which is why I keep mentioning them, Craig.
Well, Sean, you're absolutely right.
My old uh boss uh in the White House, uh uh the president's poster Dr. Dick Worthland always told me, Craig, he always said, uh, we have to run a race like we're five points down.
And that needs to be reiterated time and time again.
With all that said, I have to also I have to mention with clarity that the Trump rally numbers are astounding.
And since I worked in the Reagan White House along with a few other folks you you know well, we never saw crowds like this, spontaneously raised within 24 hours.
So my theory, and what I'm calling this is the iceberg election.
What you see above the waves are people who are crying out and showing expressing their their their distaste for lockdowns and economic stagnation under under the COVID uh harsh rules that these governors impose.
But what's happening underneath the waves, the fact that there are silent Americans who really want to express their frustration at the ballot box, that is what I expect to come out today, and they need to come out today.
And they need to come out strongly in the Midwest, because I think that's where the nitty-gritty of this race truly lies.
I think the South, I am confident that we'll pick up the whole Texas issue of that being a battleground is absolutely nonsense.
But uh, you know, Michigan, Ohio, especially Pennsylvania, especially Wisconsin, uh, are are still very, I think uh uh are very much at uh uh at risk on the bubble, but we can get over that hump with ease if we show up at the poll.
So that's my that's my take on where we are.
And I also think if this sort of multiplier effect takes place underneath the waves, where you see 25,000 people showing up at command or at request, it's transitive across the country.
I would imagine that there are people who are going to be coming out throughout the United States, throughout the small townships and and and cities to express their uh their their wish to see Trump.
No one wants to live in bubble wrap, and that's what uh uh the Biden Fauci team wants.
They want us to see us lockdown that will lead to further stagnation economically and socially, our lifestyles are compromised, and Americans are frustrated with that.
So I think that's true, which is Yeah, and this became interesting in terms of looking at the demographics in the polls leading into today, which is younger people seem to be moving for the towards the president, maybe losing some of the seniors over the COVID issue or a fear of COVID.
But then, of course, every poll showing a much higher turnout of African Americans, Hispanic Americans for the president, especially as people became more aware of who Joe Biden really is and the things that he's really done and the things that he's really said, and probably the person that was able to shine a light on all of this more than anybody, although the media again protecting the ever weak, frail, forgetful and confused and confounded and cognitively challenged Joe Biden.
God help us as him as president scares the hell out of me.
He doesn't know what day of the week it is, what office he's running for half the time, what state he's in.
It's like good grief.
He had bad moments again yesterday.
We'll continue with our polsters and uh more coming up.
Martha McSally, we're gonna look at Arizona.
Arizona's critical if you haven't voted yet in Arizona, because so much of the the vote has already been banked in that state.
Day of voting is critical.
Uh Eric Trump will also check in.
Our posters will be with us.
The vice president checks in today, 800-941 Sean is our number.
You want to be a part of the program.
Hey there.
I'm Mary Catherine Hamm.
And I'm Carol Markowitz.
We've been in political media for a long time.
Long enough to know that it's gotten, well, a little insane.
That's why we started normally a podcast for people who are over the hysteria and just want clarity.
We talk about the issues that actually matter to the country without panic, without yelling, and with a healthy dose of humor.
We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take the truth seriously.
So if you're into common sense, sanity, and some occasional sass.
You're our kind of people.
Catch new episodes of Normally every Tuesday and Thursday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen.
All right, it's election day in America.
The day is here.
The tipping point of all tipping point elections, 800-941 Sean.
You want to be a part of the program, the vice president one hour from now.
Uh we get back to our polsters.
We'll be checking in with uh in Arizona with Martha McSally, Eric Trump, and uh we have people on the ground in all the swing states.
I want to be very clear about something.
And you know, I look at this as maybe maybe I'm sort of like after 33 years in radio, 25 years, I feel like I've seen it all.
I live through great election victories like 2016, and the world was shocked.
And I and I look at numbers, and I've been looking at numbers all day, all night, frankly, for now, months.
And numbers on a page are just numbers.
And you can have all the people in that that examine data, information, numbers.
How do you quantify?
How do you how do we how do we put a number on people that are showing uh the most amazing enthusiasm I've ever seen in any presidential election?
You know, look at the last 14 rallies in three days that the president did, or you know, look at the 12 people that showed up in in Philly this morning for Joe Biden with his bullhorn.
I mean, it just looked ridiculous.
Um, but at the end of the day, it it it takes real voters.
The reason I put all the emphasis on the states that I've been putting the emphasis on is because it takes the American people deciding.
I've been I I have been making a point to say you are the ultimate jury.
And let me just tell you where we are right now.
This election is in your hands at this very hour on this very day, where I've gone through every point.
I'm sure you could give the list yourself.
You know it's at stake.
You know what, you know what the new Green Deal means.
I mean, I couldn't believe Biden telling Pennsylvania's lying again, his campaign doubling down on his fracking lie while he's campaigning with the anti-fracker, Lady Gaga, who also mocks, you know, blue collar workers.
I'm just sitting there saying, Really, Joe.
That was a great booking.
I wonder if you had a hard time booking her.
Um, you know, to listen to the Biden campaign today, say, well, we even if we lose Florida and Pennsylvania, we can still win.
The difference is is that I I see elections with through I don't look through a prism that or take anything for granted.
I just understand that I don't have the power, but I do understand you do.
This audience, there are enough of you in this audience in the states that matter that can tip the balance of power for a generation.
Because that's what's at stake.
Higher taxes, lower taxes, all government bureaucracy, phony promises of socialism, you know, massive regulations, ending fossil fuels.
You know, it'll it will throw this country into a depression.
Amnesty, open borders, packing the courts, you know, amnesty for 15 million people, so we can have a democratic majority in perpetuity, DC, Puerto Rico, statehood, adding four Democratic senators, or Democratic majority in the Senate in perpetuity.
It's so much at stake.
Everybody in the media knows that Joe's weak, frail, cognitively challenged, and struggling mightily.
I mean, just yesterday was a near disaster at every stop for this guy.
And we've played it, we've reminded you, we've told you the stakes are high.
So let me just say that when I say that Florida, every one of your votes matters, I mean it.
You have the power, but everybody has to make that choice yourself.
And I will say this.
I know some of you are going to sacrifice hours of your life today, waiting on long lines in Florida, in Georgia, in Ohio, in North Carolina, in Pennsylvania, in Wisconsin, in Michigan, in Minnesota, even, in Iowa, in Arizona, Nevada, Maine 2nd Congressional District, Omaha in the Nebraska 2nd Congressional District, New Hampshire.
I know that you're gonna spend a lot of time, but freedom is just one generation away from extinction.
And Ronald Reagan told us, and he's right.
The thing I do want to remind you is that you know, what I said in 2016, I did a couple of things in 2016.
I I I put my credibility on the line, and I told you that Donald Trump would govern conservatively, and I've been proven right.
Maybe some of you don't like his style.
Put the style aside on taxes, judges, regulation, borders, foreign policy, promises.
You know, he's delivered on, you know, everything that he said that he would do.
Coronavirus, I don't think he's got anywhere near the credit that he deserves, starting with the travel ban, the subsequent travel bans, the quarantines.
You know, we're literally you know, weeks away from the announcement of a vaccine, Operation Warp Speed of the President.
And so I just urge you to think about what Joe Biden would do to this country, what their stated agenda is.
Trillions on the new Green Deal, eliminating fossil fuels, the false promises of socialism, packing the courts, amnesty, DC statehood.
You you get the picture.
We take a quick look now.
One very important state is Arizona, and also the battle for the U.S. Senate.
Martha McSally's done a great job as senator out there.
You know, the interesting thing about your state is what, 70% of the uh people of Arizona have already voted, right?
Yes, we they have, but there's still so many people who can return their ballots who have an early ballot.
And Sean, thanks for having me on.
I've been up since 345.
I'm a little hoarse because we've been giving it our all these last few days to bring it home uh to save our country.
There is lots of long lines at the polling places, Sean, and it's five hours, everybody in Arizona who's listening to get out there and have your voice heard.
Our race will decide the Senate majority.
Not about me, Sean.
Not about me.
Look, I've been a fighter for Arizona.
I've got a record servant in the military 26 years, and flying the ATM work hot.
I I've got a record working with President Trump to cut taxes and have a strong economy and secure the border and put Amy Cody Barrett on the bench.
At this moment in time, Arizona who are listening, it's about you.
It's about your future for you and your family.
It's about three things I've been talking about all day at the polls.
It's about opportunity, economic opportunity and saving the American dream and the Biden policies, and Mark Kelly with support.
It would be disastrous for you and your family.
It's about safety and security, backing the men and women in blue and border patrol and our military, keeping our country and our community safe and our second amendment rights.
It's about our freedoms, our fundamental freedoms and liberties.
Everything that those of us who wore the uniform were willing to die for, and those who didn't come back.
It's all on the line right now.
And Arizona has five more hours to make sure we send President Trump back to the White House with a strong win.
As you send me back to the Senate to help save the Senate majority, and then we save the state for all the outside money coming in trying to flip our state to state level.
We got this.
The enthusiasm is through the roof, Sean.
I mean, I've had people I've hundreds and hundreds of people showing up in a little town for me for my rally, ten times more than anybody coming to Joe Biden.
And by the way, you're your your opponent is somebody that will be a reliable Chuck Schumer vote.
By the way, didn't he have ch ties to China?
Isn't there been issues with him?
Yes.
Look, the positions that he does take are dangerous for Arizona.
He's in business with Tencent, which is a Chinese company associated with the Chinese government.
He went over there to recruit them to invest in a company he co-founded.
He's led one of the most radical political organizations of modern times, focused on taking away our second amendment rights.
His organization gave California an A grade for gun control and gave Arizona an S. He doesn't belong representing Arizona.
And he helps get people like Ilhan Omar and Rashida to leave elected with 57 million dollars raised to help.
Look, this guy is the 51st vote to flip the Senate majority to enable the radical left to ram that agenda you keep talking about.
People need to understand in the first 90 days, we won't know what hit us in packing the courts and making DC a state and ramming through tax increases in the government takeover of health care and open borders and taking away our second amendment rights.
Arizonians, Americans, if you're listening, it's all on the line.
It's all on the line.
So do everything you have to be able to get to the polls.
If you're in Arizona, you can go to my AZ Vote.com, find out where you need to vote.
Bring your friends and family, your neighbors, your co-workers, people who you worship with.
It's all up to you now.
We've got some strong numbers in so far about the voter turnout here, but we got to keep it going till seven o'clock.
And if you get there by seven, you can vote even if it takes later.
Go to myAZvote.com.
Make sure you have your voice heard.
It's so important.
We're right on the knife's edge here.
The energy's in our favor, but now it's all up to you.
Martha McSally, I agree with everything.
Very important race.
Thank you for being with us today.
I listen, I cannot emphasize what you just said, too.
If you are online, I don't care what state you're in.
If you are there before the polls close, you have a right to vote.
You you get to if however long it takes, you get to vote.
Don't let somebody come to the back.
Oh, sorry, you uh no, we don't have time for you to vote now.
The polls are just closed, but you've been online before the polls close.
You have a legal right to vote.
Take out your cell phone and film, and then I'd call the police and stay on the line.
Every state, but I'm gonna tell you what states really are matter here.
I have my firewall states for the president.
Must win states.
He's got to win Florida.
If you haven't voted yet, please vote.
He's got to win Georgia.
If you haven't voted yet, please vote.
He's got to win Ohio.
If you haven't voted, please vote.
North Carolina closer than I would have liked, but I believe the president will carry North Carolina.
If you're not, if you haven't voted yet, please go out and vote.
The same with Arizona.
The same with Iowa.
The same with Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania, it is the president won by 44,000 votes in 2016.
The president must win Pennsylvania tonight if he wants to be re-elected.
If you want the president to be re-elected, Michigan.
We need a lot of day of voting in the great state of Michigan for the president.
John James is a great Senate candidate.
Or Joni Ernst is up.
Lindsey Graham is up.
Tillers is up in North Carolina.
Purdue is up in Georgia.
Then you've got Wisconsin, very, very tight.
Twenty thousand uh vote margin in twenty sixteen.
Michigan ten thousand seven hundred vote margin in twenty sixteen.
That's how tight it is.
So I'm looking at the reality of what's happening and what it what it takes to actually win.
And it's really in your hands to watch the and to think of the possibility of somebody that we all know is not is not strong enough and is and is so out of the mainstream, and where he'd take this country and who would actually be influencing the country is frightening.
Should scare all of us.
A lot at stake.
We'll get the country we deserve.
I've been through elections where I'm ecstatic in elections where, well, you don't win.
I don't want it to be that one.
Because then we'll have a lot of work just preserving liberty, freedom, capitalism, our constitution for our kids and grandkids.
A lot at stake here.
All right, uh, we'll check in with Eric Trump.
We'll check in with the vice president.
We'll check in with our posters all throughout the day.
We'll go through the varying states.
We're hearing about a lot of people online.
If you're online, I know it's I know you're sacrificing.
Think of all the people that sacrificed everything for our liberties and freedoms.
Hey there, I'm Mary Catherine Hamm.
And I'm Carol Markowitz.
We've been in political media for a long time.
Long enough to know that it's gotten, well, a little insane.
That's why we started normally, a podcast for people who are over the hysteria and just want clarity.
We talk about the issues that actually matter to the country without panic, without yelling, and with a healthy dose of humor.
We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take the truth seriously.
So if you're into common sense, sanity, and some occasional sass.
You're our kind of people.
Catch new episodes of Normally every Tuesday and Thursday.
On the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen.
I mean, you just can't make this up.
Biden was uh with his bullhorn in Philly just now.
Literally said his son Bo, my son was a U.S. Senator.
Then mixed up the who his two granddaughters were.
Then he mixed up that this is on top of the this is just this within the last week.
Him calling himself a grandma, Biden calling uh Kamala's husband, Kamala's wife, uh Biden confusing President Trump calling him, you know, President, you know, referring to him as George instead of President Trump, screaming, I'm sick and tired of smart guys.
This is all in one week.
Calling Trump supporters not once, but twice chumps, calling Trump supporters ugly.
Then it's the Truna Millesore and the Bada Care.
He's making words up.
But if you gotta play it, you know, fantasizing about assaulting the president, admitting the most extensive voter fraud.
I have the most extensive inclusive voter fraud of anybody.
Donald Trump thinks healthcare is a privilege.
Barack and I think it's a right for people that bad in healthcare.
We're not only gonna store Obamacare, we're gonna build on it.
We're gonna keep your private insurance if you like it.
And you can choose a medical air, Medicare like public option if you don't.
Look, I'll do what he's unable to do.
I'll lead an effective strategy to mobilize, true international average depression, isolate and punish China.
What is he saying?
He got Mike Wallace and Chris Wallace mixed up.
I mean, you just can't make it up.
All right, the vice president Eric Trump, our polls on the ground.
Stay and vote.
You gotta vote.
Do your part.
Hey there.
I'm Mary Catherine Hamm.
And I'm Carol Markowitz.
We've been in political media for a long time.
Long enough to know that it's gotten, well, a little insane.
That's why we started Normally, a podcast for people who are over the hysteria and just want clarity.
We talk about the issues that actually matter to the country without panic, without yelling, and with a healthy dose of humor.
We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take the truth seriously.
So if you're into common sense, sanity, and some occasional sass.
You're our kind of people.
Catch new episodes of Normally every Tuesday and Thursday.
On the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen.
All right, glad you're with us.
It's election day in America.
You are the ultimate jury.
The only way that Donald Trump gets re-elected is if you do your part.
We know the states that matter.
We know the path to 270 electoral votes.
Must win states for Donald J. Trump, for him to be re-elected on every major issue that will impact this country for generations to come.
Florida, Georgia, North Carolina.
We know Ohio, no Republicans ever made it to the White House without winning there.
Iowa, we need Arizona badly.
Nevada, it's very I we now have the Trafaglo group, uh, and he'll join us later.
That is Robert Cahaley and Republicans were up one in Nevada.
We can win Nevada.
Great backup.
Pennsylvania, I d if you are online in any of these states, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota even, or any of the ones I just mentioned, or New Hampshire, or Nebraska's second congressional district, Omaha, or Maine's second congressional district.
If you're online before the polls close, you get to vote.
I know for some it's a sacrifice.
For some you're gonna have to wait a long time.
Bring extra blankets, bring gloves, bring scarves, bring hats, whatever you need.
Bring coffee, you know, but your vote's needed.
You know, think of all the sacrifice of so many others.
Otherwise, you've got this weak, frail, radical, cognitively, you know, challenged to be charitable, you know, run by radicals, the end of oil, gas, fossil fuels, higher taxes, more bureaucracy, amnesty.
We're gonna have uh the the Supreme Court pact.
You're gonna have four Democratic senators, DC, Puerto Rico, statehood, so they have a Senate majority, a Democrats in perpetuity, basically one state, one party rule.
Eric Trump is with us with the Trump organization, uh, the son of the president.
How are you, sir?
Hey, Sean, how are you?
That was a that was a perfect list, and it's the exact same list I would have I would have named out, and you're listening, Sean, you're 100% right.
I mean people know the issues at this point, they get exactly who Joe Biden is, they know exactly what my father's done for this country, what a great job he's done.
You have to get out and vote.
It's just it's just that simple.
There's you know, um several hours left in in various states.
The lines actually aren't even that bad anymore.
Um I've been kind of tracking them pretty uh pretty closely.
In fact, a lot of places are moving um, you know, very, very nicely.
But we can turn, I mean, I'll just give you an example, one of the states you just mentioned, Minnesota.
We we can absolutely turn Minnesota red.
Uh Minnesota is sick and tired of the lack of law and order.
Uh they're sick and tired of seeing what's happened to law enforcement in that state.
Um Minnesota, I I really believe with all of my heart is gonna turn red.
New Hampshire.
Uh New Hampshire, I really believe is gonna turn red.
Uh Nevada, I I really believe is gonna turn red.
And you're talking about states where the difference 5,000 either way could be the difference between losing in state and winning a state.
I mean, if just the people listening right now uh who haven't voted voted in in in in those three states, um election's over, Sean.
I mean election is over.
I mean, let me tell you the state that we know is gonna be tight.
We know Pennsylvania is gonna be tight.
And and we have a huge audience all throughout Pennsylvania.
If you haven't voted, please vote.
Michigan, we know it's gonna be tight.
Your dad won by 10,700 votes four years ago.
That's it.
You know, we know it's the same with Wisconsin.
It's gonna be tight.
And the margins are so thin here.
Everybody, but that's how important everybody's vote is.
And when you look at when you look at the I mean, look at last week with the Supreme Court.
I mean, that that will have a 40-year lasting effect on our nation.
Uh, you know, 40 years.
This is our second amendment right.
This is religious liberty.
This is I mean, this is red, white, and blue.
This is our our pledge of allegiance and our national anthem and and and everything that we hold true in our constitution.
I mean, i it's why this matters so much.
I mean, you know, this really does have lasting, lasting effects for for generations.
And um, you know, I mean, we're fighting for an economy.
We're fighting to have the greatest military, and we're fighting to have a winner in the White House.
I mean, somebody who actually has the mentality of winning.
And I hope, Sean, if there's one thing that you know the whole nation's seen out of my father, um, again, this kind of campaign cycle, and and hopefully out of our whole family.
I don't even want to throw myself into that group, but it's how hard the man is is willing to work for America and how hard we as a family are willing to work for for this country.
He doesn't he doesn't need this job.
He doesn't need to go out and campaign like this, and and but he doesn't stop.
I mean, we got home last night at four o'clock in the morning.
We we flew back on Air Force One uh to Washington, DC.
I I was I hate to tell you, I was watching you in Grand Rapids.
Of course I was watching.
We were we were on the radio at six o'clock in the morning and we were on TV all day long, every single one of us.
I mean, we're just you know it it's it's you know, now your whole family's been amazing.
Yeah, your family's been amazing.
Yeah.
You need some of the work ethic in the in the Oval Office.
I mean, look at the leaders that we're competing against around the world.
I mean, these guys have serious work ethic, and then you have Biden who literally doesn't come out of his home for days on end.
And um, I I just I hope I hope my father has demonstrated that work ethic, but I just you know the only thing I'm asking is if you're in one of the states that you just listed, get out and vote.
It is it is so critically important.
Seventy-eight thousand votes separated.
Um separated your dad and Hillary Clinton in three states Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania.
That's I I I can't add to that.
The urgency for all of these states, you know, it's a lot of people, Eric, um are I've always been Pollyannish and they make these broad predictions.
I never do.
Uh what I said about your dad in 2016 is he absolutely can win.
What I'm saying today, this election day, is your dad can absolutely win reelection, frankly, deserves to win reelection in my view.
But for a Republican to win, you you've got to run the table.
It's just the reality.
Running the table means Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, which is your wife Laura's home state.
Um that means the Buckeye State of Ohio.
That means Iowa, that means uh Arizona, that means Pennsylvania, Micha whis uh Wisconsin and Michigan.
You gotta win Pennsylvania to win.
You gotta win Michigan to win.
You know, then you have if if you win either Minnesota or Wisconsin or both, okay, you'd win if you win both, but then you need uh Nevada or New Hampshire.
And then you could even have a scenario as I've gone through earlier today, you know, where you get two six nine, two six nine.
If the president won Pennsylvania, for example, and lost Arizona and held the red states that he needs to hold.
That could happen.
Then those two electoral votes, one in the second district in Maine, one in the second district of Nebraska means so much, you know.
But um It's a biggest choice election I see in my lifetime.
I'll give you the final word.
Yeah, well, uh everything that you say is right, and I think you know, I think Sean, it it it goes beyond that because you're right.
I mean, there's there's one thing about winning an election.
There's another thing about showing the country and showing kind of this liberal unfair media and and and these career politicians in Washington, D.C. that America has spoken.
That's the second part.
I know that's an intangible.
And I know everybody's more focused on winning, but you know what?
America has to show them that it is that America's spoken, the people of this country have spoken, and and that these people have to stop the nonsense and actually get back to work.
Um and and I really hope that's demonstrated.
Um I hope that's demonstrated by people coming out in in in droves like they've never seen before.
And um, you know, I I think that will make a big statement to all these people who, you know, negative 95% coverage all the time.
Um, you know, I I just uh America needs to make a definitive statement to the media in this country and to the radical left in this country, and that's the only way you're gonna reform them.
It's really the only way you're gonna reform them.
And I I really believe that's gonna happen tonight.
I truly believe my heart of heart that that's gonna happen tonight.
All right, Eric Trump will be watching closely, praying as well.
Anyway, uh, we go to our pollsters.
Now they have been checking in with all of their contacts in states that matter, the ones we're listing, Matt Towery and John McLaughlin.
Matt, what what uh Matt, what are you uh telling us anecdotally about what you've been hearing all day?
Well, I'm I've been looking at numbers.
I let me go to the states that uh are closest to me, Georgia and Florida.
Again, in Florida, our Republican share of the ballots continue to tick up uh of overall ballots.
Uh what we're hearing today is that the uh same day voting is heavily uh strong among Republicans.
Uh I think Marco Rubio, as I mentioned, had tweeted out this is going to be a historic uh day for the number of Republicans voting, and he's correct.
Um, of course, that has to continue because uh there's a target number that Republicans need to get to.
It's over 200 plus thousand uh needs to be in their advantage to assure President Trump wins.
We're not there yet, uh, but we're getting there.
In Georgia, interestingly enough, the uh areas where Republicans are needed the most, counties like Pickens County uh in Georgia and also Calita County, I'm told those are the areas where there are lines waiting to vote.
Um ironically, uh Clayton County, which is very important to a Democratic win, they must have gotten all their votes in by mail because they're virtually that is the lowest voting county uh in the state right now, and that's one of the five populous counties that make up the Atlanta metropolitan area.
So right now it's looking good in Georgia and Florida.
Uh I have to believe that these trends are occurring in these two states, they're occurring in other states.
We are seeing a tremendous Republican turnout on same day election day voting, and we've already seen substantial Republican turnout in both the uh early mail in where available and also obviously the early voting.
So uh Eric Trump was saying he thinks that he may see uh an amazing victory tonight.
I I have to tell him that I think we might be on our way to that.
John McLaughlin, uh it's gonna be close in the states that will make all the difference.
You know, Michigan is more difficult than Pennsylvania.
How's Pennsylvania looking?
What are you hearing anecdotally there?
Anecdotally, we're hearing that uh places like Montgomery County in the northern parts of Montgomery County where we get uh 67 per 70 percent turnout, where it's a Trump area, it's going up.
And so it's high in the right parts of the state where the president needs uh to get his vote.
And the other part is the polls in Pennsylvania don't close until eight o'clock.
And people have time to still get there.
And once you're online at eight o'clock, if you're waiting on a line, they can't they can't tell you you can't vote.
They have to let you vote.
And if they don't, you call a police officer.
But uh we could take a page out of the Democrats' uh playbook that uh when you're online, uh you know, even though a poll's place may close, like in Pennsylvania at uh eight o'clock Eastern time, or in Florida, if it closes in in most of Florida at seven o'clock Eastern time, or the panhandle where it's uh eight o'clock because they're on central time, uh uh eight o'clock Eastern time that they close.
Uh if you're online, they have to let you vote.
And we've got long lines where we need long lines, and the Democrats are worried because in the places like uh Miami Dade, they don't have quite the turnout that uh they think they were going to have.
Uh they're having they're having turnout issues, whether it's Detroit, whether it's Philadelphia, or whether it's Miami Dade.
So uh our people are coming out, and we got to keep them voting through the rest of today.
So, where are we looking?
How do you both feel now about Pennsylvania?
Uh I know Matt, you had the president up by two.
Uh and John, you added the president up by just a hair also.
Well, how do you see Pennsylvania?
Because it could have the fi red firewall holds and the president wins Pennsylvania, it's game over.
Matt.
Well, yeah, yes, that assumes, of course, Arizona, which of course is a I'm not told, I don't know if John's told it, but assuming Arizona is held by the president, of course, North Carolina, then you're looking at Pennsylvania.
I feel good about Pennsylvania.
I don't know about the hijinks that will go on there that everyone's been talking about that worries me because they're sitting on so many votes to count.
But I have to say this, Sean.
Um, if Pennsylvania goes to the president, then you have to look at these other states like Michigan, Wisconsin in particular, where the Republicans were actually up in the number of votes early on.
Um and even Minnesota, because some of these other states are going to come in play.
If we see that this is potentially, I don't want to that we won't know until people go to vote.
But in the early trends that we see, this may truly be a red wave that they that the traditional pundits for the media and that Nate Silvers and all these people didn't see coming once again.
And if it's really a wave And if it continues through the end of voting today, then those states are going to be in play.
And I would not be surprised at all if the president doesn't pick off one of those states that the media thinks he can't win, maybe even in Nevada, I don't know.
But there's something out there for the president with you can't have this sort of vote developing in Georgia and Florida and other states and not see it translate.
And to John's point, in Pennsylvania, you can't see this sort of turnout and not see it translate into these other states.
And we're not seeing the turnout that Joe Biden would need in Philly.
John.
Absolutely not.
John.
Yeah, I'm hearing from people that have been to Philly and they're telling me they don't have they don't have lines in in uh Philadelphia.
So uh uh, you know, because look at it.
Let's let's face it.
Well, there's a reason Joe Biden's on the ground there today, close to people, because he hasn't done that the whole campaign.
So that tells me they're up their own numbers are telling them that they're in trouble there.
Absolutely.
And and and when you think about it, in in Pennsylvania, they had 2.5 million mail-in ballots ahead of time that we know will favor Joe Biden.
But last time they had 6.3 million voters out.
They have nine million registered.
There are millions of Republicans and Trump voters who are going to the polling places today that we have the long lines in the counties that we where we need the long term.
It sounds to me, North Carolina, Arizona, and Pennsylvania.
If those three states come in for Trump, then Donald Trump will win.
But I would, but then I would look as Matt was saying to Nevada.
I'd look to Wisconsin, I'd look to Minnesota.
I wouldn't count on Michigan.
It was so close the last time.
10,0700 votes.
All right, guys, thank you both.
We'll be checking back in with you after the uh exit polls come in in the next hour.
I'm just gonna warn you right now, I I don't even know if I will pass it on because they've been so god awful over the years.
We have Vice President Pence coming up, Robert Cahaley coming up with the Trafalgar uh Trafalgar Group and much more.
Hey there, I'm Mary Catherine Hamm.
And I'm Carol Markovich.
We've been in political media for a long time.
Long enough to know that it's gotten, well, a little insane.
That's why we started normally a podcast for people who are over the hysteria and just want clarity.
We talk about the issues that actually matter to the country without panic, without yelling, and with a healthy dose of humor.
We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take the truth seriously.
So if you're into common sense, sanity, and some occasional fast.
You're our kind of people.
Catch new episodes of Normally every Tuesday and Thursday on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen.
Coming up next, our final news roundup and information overload hour.
All right, news roundup information overload hour.
Uh we are getting some uh exit poll data that will be coming in within the last uh hour of this program, and uh anything I get that's interesting, I'll pass on to you.
Here's what I've been told now during this long break when I got on the phone with data people that know these counties and know the past history of voting in these counties.
And the pat and and this this is what I was told specifically, and I'm only sharing what I hear.
Do I have I checked it all out?
Uh okay.
So this is what they said.
They've been looking all day for any bad news as it relates for President Trump's reelection.
They've been looking for again.
We go back to the states that that we're focused on and that we that matter.
Florida, North Carolina, Georgia, Ohio.
Uh then of course the pr the president's got to run the table.
We always talk about that.
Iowa, Arizona, they can't find any.
They're seeing massive increases in the counties.
If you are online to vote, stay there.
The vice president of the United States is with us, Mike Pence, Mr. Vice President.
Uh happy election day.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Is he a little late?
Oh, he's coming a little later.
Okay.
Uh, we do have our polls, though.
Uh let's see, John McLaughlin is with us and Matt Tower is back with us.
Guys, hello.
Uh that's what I just heard anecdotally, and by the way, that's what both of you have been telling us all day that you're hearing as you make your calls around all these important states.
Uh, John.
Yes, absolutely.
The the the Trump voters, the president said you got to vote in person, they're coming out in person.
The the only thing between us and a victory now is the clock.
Because places like Georgia, the polls close at seven o'clock.
So you're in Georgia and you haven't voted yet for the president, you need to get out there and vote right now.
So uh uh so the only thing.
And the panhandle in Florida's got to remember they got an extra hour.
Right.
They get an extra hour and you know so they close at 7 o'clock central which is 8 o'clock Eastern time in Pennsylvania they close 8 o'clock Eastern time.
And as long as you get there by the time it closes if you're online they got to let you vote.
And if they don't let you vote just call a policeman and they'll let you vote.
So uh but right now the Democrats are worried because they have low turnout in the areas where they want it to be higher whether it's Detroit, Miami Dade, whether it's Philadelphia, the city the the city there, uh and they're seeing high turnout they're seeing lines where the Trump voters need to have lines.
So uh so if you're a Trump voter and you really want to send them a message about how wrong the elites have been how wrong the polls have been uh just go out and vote before they uh before they close in your state get out there now.
Uh I think this is key.
Now I did ask specifically uh Matt Towery about Detroit about Cleveland about uh Philly and they are not seeing uh turnout numbers if we were to identify say in victory years that Obama one for example they're not seeing anything near those numbers no this is I I want your listeners to hear this.
So there is one major site right now that the people go to and it lists all these reasons why Trump is running into a brick wall and one of them says MAGA's gonna run into a brick wall in Georgia and it cites the economist.
The economist says this is their model it says there's a 58% chance that Joe Biden wins Georgia.
Well if things stay as they are and people continue to vote there is about a 10% chance he wins Georgia because the numbers there are not materializing for them in the very areas of the state that that that would be necessary for a Democrat to win.
Now that means Republicans have to continue to vote through seven o'clock in Georgia but once they do that or when the polls close but once they do that if it stays that way that model goes away.
So you're gonna hear a lot of false information between now and nine ten o'clock maybe even later because there are a lot of folks out there polls for the media who want you to believe that Joe Biden has won this election no matter what everything I've seen so far lead me to believe that the president is outperforming Joe Biden and outperforming his his expected numbers in virtually every state I've looked at okay I just got this we already ha hit 81.7%
turnout Republicans have which was this whole 2016 turnout that was the entire total um to as a frame of reference in 2016 at this point there was a plus zero a point plus zero six Republican electorate today that electorate is Republican plus one point eight.
The Republican Democratic advantage is now uh a hundred and ninety thousand nine hundred and one that's that uh and again I'm giving this to you in real time uh Robert Cahaley is uh with us with the Trafalgar group uh you've been watching all these numbers all day and you've been watching the turnout models what are you seeing I like what I see in Florida and I love what I see here in Georgia.
OK, and so that red wall that we talk about, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Ohio, Iowa, Arizona, you've got to vote.
You've got to get out in Arizona.
Then it's now come down to Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin.
By the way, I was told by somebody just moments ago that the turnout in Republican areas of Minnesota, the highest they have ever seen.
I just got told.
Which, look, it's a hard state you've been polling Minnesota and if it wasn't for Kanye West you think the president would be leading there.
Done I mean it would be over if Kanye wasn't on the ballot.
I mean we have him as laws at 3.3 I don't think he'll do that I've got a good reason to believe that he'll drop to around two man if he wasn't there I think that one will be over.
Yeah.
I am getting some information in let's see survey people uh all right no surprise here President Trump has a path to two hundred and seventy electoral votes.
Uh what we know, hundred million ballots already cast, the vote mail in significantly, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Biden is winning in the early vote.
By contrast, day of voting, Republicans are winning by a large, large margin.
Um the the results therefore in the beginning, and this is what to Matt's point you're gonna hear on television.
Don't draw conclusions when if you hear a Biden early lead in any of the states we just mentioned, including Texas, North Carolina, Georgia, and Florida, uh, because that will be the early vote that that was banked by the Democrats uh before the day of voting.
So day of voting is critical.
Do you all agree with this point for the Republicans for the president to have this this real opportunity at re-election?
Uh Matt Towery.
Yes, absolutely.
Uh this what's what's created so far has been a cr tremendous disparity between Republican and Democrat vote.
And remember, we have independents voting as well today, and and in some states that breaks to the president, some states that doesn't.
So none of this is a theta complete.
The Republicans have to continue to push this as hard as they can in all these states, because they're they're they're going to be have disinformation, you're going to have questions about ballots.
There are going to be a lot of issues whether the president appears to win or not.
So they need to they need to keep pushing in order to put this thing uh in the win column for the president.
All right.
So a very high level person that is just does numbers for a living, just just wrote me.
And every uh both I've asked all three of you this question every time you've been on now for the last couple of weeks.
I said, Will the pre does will the president win Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Ohio, uh Iowa, and Arizona.
He has to win those states.
What I was just told is he is on track, and again, people have to vote.
Day of voting is critical for Republicans.
He is on track if people go and and those that get out of work late and get online on time and stay online and and wait it out to win those states, and then it's really gonna come down to Pennsylvania, uh, Michigan, Wisconsin,
maybe Minnesota, but they're seeing in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin in particular, in counties that the president uh carried in 2016, they're seeing a greater turnout this time, not looking like a bigger turnout in Democratic uh stronghold.
So the president's definitely in it.
Is that a fair conclusion, John McLaughlin?
Absolutely.
We have the momentum to win.
And as I said, the key phrase of that was on track to win, which means that we still need more votes, but we're on track to win if those votes keep coming out at the rate they've been coming out.
And there are Republicans, like for example, when we were talking about Georgia, um, you know, through the 29th, you had 3.5 million votes out.
Last time in 2016, there were only four million well, there were four million, but it's gonna break that today.
And the question is, how much does it break that?
How much does it go towards the 7.5 million registered voters in Georgia?
Does it get to get to five million?
Does it go over five million?
Do they come from Hall County?
Do they come from the areas where the Republican vote and the Trump voters live?
And uh if you're in Hall County, Georgia, get out and vote.
Uh so uh so we need those voters out today because we're on track, and some of these polls places, Georgia they close by seven, so they got to get out.
Pennsylvania, they got till eight o'clock.
I just got a specific note.
This is important for people that are gonna be tuning in watching coverage tonight.
Some states report their early vote first.
And I literally just got a very specific warning.
If it looks too blue at the outset, and you're thinking, oh, this night's gonna suck.
Um, it will shift red as the night proceeds.
In other words, the early vote, Democrats push the early vote, day of voting is is more Republican.
This is very critical.
And then by the way, and by contrast, you you know, if you see an early vote lead for the president in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, there's not going to be a big margin.
There also is for the president.
Let's assume the president does come from behind and win either Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, any of those states.
It it we likely won't know any of that tonight.
Is that a fair statement?
Uh Robert.
Well, it will depend on i whether they've counted those absentees.
I mean, for example, in Pennsylvania, I think there's a very good chance that tonight he looks like he's ahead.
So uh not necessarily.
We we may we will be able to see that we're ahead um in in Pennsylvania and not necessarily as much for Michigan.
But uh I would add one warning about what you just said for North Carolina.
The uh research triangle and the Asheville area and Charlotte tend to count their votes very quickly, but the rural areas come in much later.
So last last time when everybody was worried that he was down eight points.
I'm like, that's not enough.
He's gonna win it.
So consider rural versus urban too, because those are much faster than the other.
So that North Carolina, which clot the polls close at 7 30, you're saying that it's gonna seem like Joe Biden's got a big lead, and then it's not gonna, and then it's gonna change.
Just like it did in 16, because when when when when the east North Carolina starts coming in, uh, you know, all that area uh east of the research triangle, that's what that's a lot of rural area, and that's a lot of strong Trump support.
Same area used to elect Helms every six years.
Um this is what I'm hearing.
Look, if you are in the following states, it really Pennsylvania, if you've not voted, it's probably all coming down to Pennsylvania according to every bit of data that I'm sort of accumulating from everybody.
Looks like the president will hold the states he needs to hold, but I wouldn't count on it.
North Carolina's closer than we want it to be.
Same with Arizona.
Very important for people to stay online and vote.
The same with Pennsylvania.
If you haven't voted, get online.
North Carolina polls close at 7 30.
Uh Pennsylvania closes at 8 Eastern.
Arizona, nine Eastern, I believe if I believe, yeah, I believe it's nine Eastern.
Uh, your thoughts, uh, Robert.
You know, I still feel good about Michigan, and we just released last night, for the first time we saw Nevada cross into uh Trump territory.
By the way, that's true.
I probably forgot to mention that.
That's all true.
And what's interesting is that Nevada, men were out voting women, which is very rare in almost any state this election.
And they were outvoting him in early voting, so we expect that trend to continue on election day.
And uh I think Nevada, there's a lot of these folks that work work work by the hour, and when Vegas is shut down, they don't get paid.
I think they're voting anti-shutdown today.
I'm just warning people on the television watching Matt Towery that uh you gotta be careful when you're watching the results coming in tonight because early voting favors uh Biden, but estimates are today that the president is over sixty percent uh leading same-day voting.
By the way, that's why if you haven't voted in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Arizona, get out and vote.
Uh North Carolina, same thing, Matt.
Yeah, but I mean just warned our listeners.
You're gonna see again media chicanery tonight.
You're going to see analysts saying that it's over.
You're gonna see some early votes come in.
Oh my goodness, the president's done for.
That's not gonna be the case.
There'll be a few states where you actually see the president ahead.
Georgia may be one of them because the rural areas seem to come in sooner and the metro area comes in later.
And they'll say, Oh, it's going to catch up at some point.
So what has to happen is this vote has to continue to develop, and you have to be one as the viewer to hang in and ignore these people.
They're going to be wrong again if this vote continues the way it is today.
Last 20 seconds, John.
Uh, four years ago, I was with Linda in your studio.
We watched, remember North Carolina, they call the early vote first.
Same thing in Florida.
So Florida, we didn't go ahead until after eight o'clock when the panhandle came in.
So with what you're saying is don't get discouraged at those early votes because that has the early vote totals and the absentees.
I'm telling you it's going to be that way.
It's not if they're gonna it's gonna seem bad in the beginning of the night.
Don't expect it to remain that way.
We'll continue on the other side, and Vice President Pence calling in.
All right, 25 now till the top of the hour.
It's election Day, and you know, everything that I said, it seems to be coming true based on all the anecdotal information we've been accumulating from all our sources are all around the country.
The president uh we expect it will win Florida, he will win Ohio, uh Georgia, North Carolina, tighter than we like, but he'll win North Carolina.
If you're still there, you get to vote till 7 30 in in North Carolina, get out and vote.
Arizona, same story, and he'll win Iowa.
And he's got to pick off.
This is where it gets hard for any Republican any year.
Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin.
I hear there's a much higher turnout in Republican areas, even in Minnesota, and uh Trafalgar now has the uh president up by one in his last poll that just came out uh late last night.
The vice president of the United States, Mike Pence is with us.
How are you, sir?
Sean Hannity, uh, I'm great, I'll tell you.
We think we're gonna have a great night.
Uh, the momentum around the country is tremendous.
We're hearing great turnout, but anyone in the sound of my voice, if you're if you're headed to the polls, uh if you're in line, stay in line, get out, vote to re-elect President Donald Trump for four more years.
That's our message all across America.
And I appreciate you having me on.
You know, I mean, that is one of the keys too.
People have to understand if they're online and the polls close, they get to vote.
And if anyone tells you otherwise, take out your cell phone, record them and call the police.
That's my advice.
That's right.
Just get out and vote.
I mean, it really uh, you know, I said yesterday, and you wouldn't have believed this crowd last night, Sean.
I'm Grand Rapids.
It was in Travis City, Michigan.
Well, I stepped up on that stage at you know, about eleven thirty last night, presidents talked about midnight, but it forty thousand people, just the incredible enthusiasm.
But I said to them then, you know, the time for speeches is just about over.
Now it's time for voting.
Um, and um, but the enthusiasm that we saw there that we've seen around the country, because the choice in this election is so clear.
I mean, I mean, this is a president who literally, as you know better than almost anybody on the airwaves, and have made it clear.
This is the president who's kept every promise he made to the American people, rebuild our military, revive the economy, cut taxes, rolled back regulation, unleashed energy, appointed conservatives to the courts, supported law and order, liberties and life.
And Joe Biden and Kamala Harris want the uh higher taxes, open borders, socialized medicine, a green new deal.
They're talking about abolishing fossil fuels, packing the court.
Uh the choice could not be more clear.
I think the American people know President Trump is leading the greatest economic recovery in our history already.
Uh and it's this president and four more years that's going to bring America all the way back, more stronger, more prosperous, and I believe more united than ever before.
But everybody's got to get out, get out and vote to re-elect President Donald Trump to the White House.
The states that I'm looking at that are very, very crucial that may you know, are always hard state to win.
I mean, you the Democrats have this built-in advantage.
I always talk about, you know, when you start out with California, New York, New Jersey, Illinois, all these big states, all these electoral votes, Oregon, Washington State, it's hard uh for any Republican, but uh especially if you're in North Carolina, it's been it's been tight, and the president's day of voting is critical in North Carolina, it's critical in Arizona, it's critical in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota.
Uh those rust belt states.
Um, you know, by the way, it's Joe Biden is president just scares the living hell out of me for all the reasons you just mentioned.
Uh pack in the courts, amnesty for fifteen million people, free health care for everybody that's here illegally, uh eliminating oil, gas, fossil fuels, pretty scary.
That r it really is.
And then and you know, you talk about the rest belt the rust belt states, Sean.
And did, you know, I I grew up in one of them, Stoosier State.
Uh there was a lot of rust on it when Joe Biden was vice president, but uh, you know, they lost 200,000 manufacturing jobs.
President Trump uh came in, cut taxes, roll back regulation, fought for American energy, free and fair trade, and knocked the rust off the rust belt.
We saw five hundred thousand manufacturing jobs created in our first three years, and we're seeing this economy in the midst of the worst global pandemic in a century, uh, come roaring back.
And you know, the thing the thing that I would say, if there's anybody driving in their car right now, headed to the polls or listening on the radio uh in line, you know, if you're not yet decided, you just gotta ask yourself, who do you really think can bring the American economy all the way back?
You know, a guy that spent 47 years in Washington raising taxes, growing government, uh, waving a white flag on international trade, or a proven job creator that's already leading the greatest economic recovery in American history.
And the choice is clear, and uh whether it's North Carolina, I know, where the polls are open till 730 tonight or in all of the states that you mentioned, all around around this country.
If if you love America, if you want to see America come all the way back, uh we need four more years of President Donald Trump, and we need you to get out and vote today.
I mean, that's what it really comes down to.
I always say that the American people are the ultimate jury in this, and they get to decide.
Um, to be very fair to, you know, I've never seen any one administration under such unrelenting assault and so much and a lot of it's just outright lies, conspiracy theories, hoaxes, the phony impeachment, Russia, Russia, Russia.
Um, you know, the me the media ignores, you know, frankly, Joe is hides in his basement the whole uh campaign.
That was a whole campaign hiding in his basement.
Now he's out there with a bullhorn in Philly today, uh, because he realizes, I guess, that uh maybe he's not getting the vote in Pennsylvania he thought he'd have.
Uh I'm told for my friends on the ground in in Pennsylvania that it is absolutely a winnable state for you and the president and and Pennsylvania like North Carolina, like Arizona and these other states are crucial.
It's it's absolutely crucial.
And and but I gotta tell you the enthusiasm that's out there is just incredible.
Uh and and I really do think, you know, four years ago when I ran with this president, it was promises made.
Uh now it it's it's promises kept.
People see that this president has fought every day against that hail storm of resistance by the Democrats in Washington.
Uh like I never saw, you know, I I spent twelve years in Congress, Sean.
We, you know, we've known each other since those days.
I I I never saw the Democratic Party throw the kind of opposition and resistance and obstruction and attacks uh at uh at a Republican president like they've done with this president.
And of course, all the Democrats' allies in the national media with unrelenting attacks.
But as I said to these crowds out on the campaign trail, you know, in all four years against that opposition, resistance and and the avalanche of attacks in the mainstream media, uh there's not been a day gone by that I haven't seen President Trump get up and fight to keep the promises that he made to the people of this country.
But today it's our turn to fight for him.
Uh and that's why I've been telling people, you know, grab a family member, grab a neighbor, grab a coworker, head to the polls, vote to re-elect President Trump for four more years.
Did you ever think that in America because Democrats, I always argued, held you know, hid their real agenda.
But now they're actually expressing it.
And you they they're literally expressing eliminating oil and gas and the entire energy sector, spending trillions on this new Green Deal, promising things that that they're incapable of ever fulfilling.
You know, free education, free guaranteed job, wages, vacation, healthy food, retirement, health care.
They did so great with Obamacare.
And I guess maybe the appeal of socialism to some is real.
I I have a hard time because it's so fundamentally um i it it is the antithesis of everything that has made this country the greatest country God gave man.
And a it is a prescription to me for economic disaster.
Sean, I really do believe that part of part of the enthusiasm you see across the country is because uh thanks to you and and people like you uh all across this country on the airways of talk radio and and elsewhere, I I think the American people understand uh the the choice in this election has never been clear.
The stakes though have never been higher.
I mean, it's it really is a choice whether we're gonna re-elect President Donald Trump and we're gonna and we're gonna chart a course for our children and grandchildren in this country built on our our highest ideals of of faith and family and patriotism and freedom and all the God given liberties enshrined in our Constitution,
or whether we're going to let Joe Biden and the Democratic Party literally be overtaken by the radical left and topple our American heritage of liberty and freedom into an inevitable path to socialism and American decline.
And I think the American people understand those are the stakes.
And anyone in the sound of my voice that feels the same way, that sees that choice this clearly, We need you to get in the car.
need you to stay in the line we need you to vote to re-elect President Donald Trump for four more years.
Mr. Vice President you've always generous with your time and uh we appreciate it we'll be watching closely tonight there's a lot hanging in the balance for this great country of ours and uh praying for uh a good the the I think the victory you guys have earned I don't know why anybody would want the job you guys have but you know thank God you're doing it because it's uh you know we've had four successful amazing years actually under the most difficult circumstances uh Vice President Mike Pence thank you thank you Sean it's gonna
It'll be a great night.
Thanks for having me on.
All right, sir.
Thank you.
Let me just say the following.
This race, based on every bit of anecdotal evidence I'm accumulating, if I could just show you how many text messages are flying in every second, this is what I've been able to pick up about where we are.
Everything that I had said coming into this race is exactly how this is unfolding.
For the president to win reelection.
It is exactly the questions.
Linda, how many times did I say this?
Florida, Georgia, Ohio, North Carolina, Iowa, and Arizona.
That is the fact.
These are the must win states of the president.
In a couple of those states, based on anecdotal evidence, it's very tight.
North Carolina being one.
the president has a slight lead and Arizona being another but the president has a slight lead if you're in those states please get out and vote.
If you're in the panhandle please get out and vote.
Georgia you still have plenty of time go out and vote.
Then it comes down to and this is where it's so hard for any Republican to win the presidency which we've gone over in detail that's just the way the map is and then the president if you're in Pennsylvania remember the president won in 2016 by 44,000 votes if you're not online yet go get in line before the polls close and stay there.
And you think okay well is is American capitalism lower taxes energy independence strapistrous is it worth it?
It's amazing to me is the institutional forces that have aligned against one one administration, one president of the people as this one the fact that you know you have this cognitively challenged but yet media protected big tech protected um democratic party protected Republican rhino establishment protected Joe Biden weak frail I mean and led by the socialist radicals and
his party it then comes to Pennsylvania and the Rust belt states Michigan, Wisconsin, maybe Minnesota if that ever becomes in play looks like Nevada is in play which is a a group which would be very critical if the president were say not to win Michigan or or Pennsylvania, which I do hope he wins and it is uh it looks like it is playing out exactly the way it did in 2016.
In 2016 the president won Michigan by 10,700 votes that's not a lot of votes when you consider all the votes cast it looks like the president you know it it's close in Wisconsin where the president won by what 22000 votes it looks like it's close in Pennsylvania.
There are enough people in all of these states that I'm mentioning that if you haven't voted yet and you care about your future and your country and your kids and you you want American America to be that that bastion of capitalism freedom and event innovation invention you know the wealth producing you know, country of the world.
You know what you have to do.
And in the end of the day, we will get the government we deserve.
We will.
You know, and the issues that we'll battle, the power grab.
I've never heard such radicalism, packing the courts, ending the filibuster, amnesty for 15 million people.
Sure, they want give something of great value in the hopes that people will vote for their party generationally.
Taking adding an additional four centi seats.
All of that they'll do, including raising taxes.
They'll destroy manufacturing, they'll destroy the energy sector.
No matter what Joe Biden said, he lied to Pennsylvania repeatedly.
That lie is is believed by too many people.
It's amazing how many jobs and and how many lives will be impacted by this.
Anyway, it's really in your hands.
Uh one last warning, admonition.
Remember the early vote is going to come in first, and it will scare you when you're watching television tonight.
That is normal.
Just you're gonna have to trust me on this.
Things will level out as the night goes on, especially in states that report their early voting first.
That is normal, that is natural.
That happened in 2016.
People forget, people were traumatized, and then all of a sudden things start turning around, uh, which I hope happens again tonight.
But we'll have full complete coverage when we may not know.
I mean, if the president holds the red wall that I have I have been discussing every day, and then it comes down to Pennsylvania, we may not know until Friday.
If you can believe it.
How many more days is this going to go on, right?
If you haven't voted, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Carolina, Arizona getting vote.
We'll have full coverage tomorrow.
Thanks for being with us.
