Cheerling Company weekday morning, six till ten. Will Greg Stalker get his sunshine? We'll have the forecast in just a moment. People are saying, "David Myers, I'm whining too early." Well, you know, sorry. It's 604 in the morning. If you're chipper, then you're a better person than I. Well we have a lot to talk about today, and we are sponsored in Killing Company News Live by Piazza Autogroup this morning. An investigation underway after police say a woman was found dead on a resident's back patio in Philadelphia's Point Breeze neighborhood. This discovery made by a homeowner, disturbing discovery, obviously, made by the homeowner last night at a home on the 1800 block of South 22nd Street. They say the woman in her 30s discovered unresponsive, partially dressed, and medics rush to the scene. They could not save her life. And investigators say it looks like no visible trauma to the woman's body, no kind of drug paraphernalia found on the scene. And so this is a bit of a mystery. The medical examiner will conduct an autopsy. Police theorize that this woman may have lived not so far away, unless she running to a nearby home for help. We just don't have any answers. So neighbors are a little bit shaken by the situation. But this, I mean, I can't even imagine going to take the trash out, and you make this discovery on your patio. Yeah, it's awful. And you said half dressed? Yes. Oh boy, that's terrible. So it's alarming, and Philadelphia police say if you have any information, they always, you know, I always give out the number two one five six eight six tips as well. Philadelphia police searching for three armed men robbed of business wearing masks and bulletproof vests. This happens Saturday night in North Philadelphia. They're putting out the word as they want help on this one, putting out surveillance images. This happened 11 20 p.m. So closing in on that midnight hour Saturday into Sunday at a Philadelphia stop shop located on the 2900 block of North 5th Street. And so officers say they did respond, spotted those three guys leaving the business. Police following one of the suspects who took off on foot. The other two ran back inside the business. Investigation quickly turned into a barricade situation with SWAT clearing the property finally in the wee hours of the morning. They believe the suspects were able to escape through a window. And that was on the second floor. So they actually got away. So this was the 47 year old store owner had been pistol whipped, taken to the hospital and is in stable condition this morning. A 37 year old woman also was injured during the situation. She was inside at the time of the robbery and she suffered some minor injury. So another, you know, brazen robbery, if you will, but bulletproof vest. I was just going to say who wears a bulletproof vest unless they're prepared to go into, you know, an exchange of bullets, right? We're so just a bizarre situation, but they did get away from police. So these are considered armed and dangerous suspects police still searching for them. Let's talk about the storm surge, the aftermath of Hurricane Helene because the storm surge, the wind damage inland flooding is catastrophic flooding. You know, many states as we think about what's going on here in southern states with Helene, first of all, you may recall it made landfall in Florida's Big Bend region. That was last Thursday night as a huge category for hurricane. The strongest hurricane to ever make landfall in that region Big Bend on record. And so how are we doing this morning? We're closing in on 100 casualties across many states, short on supplies, millions without power, and just a massive storm upending people's lives. And so now the challenge of rebuilding, but in some places, it could take a week or longer just to get electricity back, emergency services stretched. So we're looking at six states. Yeah, I saw. Six states. This is massive. Asheville, North Carolina, which I've actually driven through going to and from Tennessee. It's beautiful. It's beautiful and it's wiped out now. They've got I think over 450,000 people in the state of North Carolina without without electricity. Just devastating. Yeah. My husband's one of his coworkers is stuck in North Carolina. So they said we just the roads, everything's flooded out. Everything's washed out. So you have North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Virginia. And the problem here is these death tolls that we're giving. It's closing in on 100. The problem is many. There are many people still missing. Yep. And so I know that there are calls for this, the current administration to do more. President Joe Biden has said he will visit the area at some point this week. And so it, yes, it involves politics and so on. We'll get into that later. But people from across these states saying, why isn't, why aren't they giving more coverage to this? We need help now. This is an urgent dire situation. That's correct. I'm watching right now on Fox. I mean, there's like RVs that are just floating down the street. Unbelievable. And we talked about last week, many first responders, firefighters, crews, canine, canine in search, you know, police officer trained individuals for hopefully recovery, you know, hopefully rescue missions, I should say, not recovery, but they all are still there. And by the way, yeah, and very important, Trump's going to be in Georgia today. And I think also North Carolina, which is, you know, you talk about the political aspect. You know, we talked about Trump winning Pennsylvania, North Carolina in Georgia, that smart move to jump there and get there today. I think it looks like they're saying Harris will be briefed at FEMA headquarters. Wonder why Harris is not going physically there. Good question. We also have sad news in the world of music, Chris Kristofferson, known for his charisma and Hollywood actor, became a country music superstar, where the Chris Kristofferson died at his home in Maui, Hawaii over the weekend. He was 88 years young, died peacefully surrounded by family, 88 years old Chris Kristofferson saw that the little known fact. He was the, you know, the Janice Joplin song, me and Bobby McGee. He was the, he was the original writer of that song. He recorded it first. I did not know that. I wonder if we'll have a little of that tidbits and information coming up around nine fifties today, maybe. Yes, I have to talk about sports. Well, begin with the good news. You don't have to skip right over tonight. Yeah, why not? Phillies, nationals in DC. We won six, three. Who do we play this coming up Saturday, the fifth, which is by the way, the fifth will be the Butler, Pennsylvania rally. I'll be there. Wow. Trump will be there. We are so excited for this Saturday. So red October. What a day that I know, right? First playoff game and a return to Butler, VA. Well, they don't know who the Phillies are going to play to. They're going to be the Mets. No, the Brewers, the Mets, or the Diamondbacks or the Diamondbacks, but I thought the Mets will still be in it. So what do we have? All these little wild card knickknack games coming up this week? Knickknack. Knickknack, hatty wack. Expanding the playoffs. Give your dog a bone. 33 16 lives. Yeah. Yeah, our Eagles. You know, it's amazing. It's amazing. When you watch football, how easy it is to move the ball down the field when you just sit back and place off defense and say, Hey, do whatever you want right in front of our face. Yeah. Well, Merrill Reese kind of summed it up summed it up well during during one of Mike Evans. First touchdown. They feel looking firing. They did make it look easy. Bigger may feel was like a Lauer bear just tossing the football around on Thanksgiving in the backyard of the boys, a little five yard here, a little seven yard there right down the field. They came out in the second half and and and maybe maybe there was some life in them. They gave us hope. Yeah. Hurt to the gun. Barkley to his left of the first down goes to Barkley. He tries to speak. He's across the 40 45 50 40 30 25 20 have a balance at the 10. What a way to snark my hand. Well, that'll get you going. Yeah, I didn't get him going. Mike, by Mike, counts are the only good thing we have. It was a man. It was we're all wrong. By the way, we all picked the I know I'm over for now. Oh, man. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, just you want to make money, just take the opposite of what I take. I was like, so I read kept my pick was 26 20 with the with the Eagles. It was a 33 16 loss. Now we, you know, the enabler in me has to say we have a lot of horrible injuries. Yeah. AJ Brown, lighting candles. Yeah. Darius Lay, we pray for you to be better. They have a bi week. Yeah. So they need it. Oh, my goodness. They were out without Devontay, Smith, AJ Brown and Lane Johnson. Yeah. But they weren't they haven't looked good with those guys. It's true. You're you're right. You know, other than Barkley. Yeah. This this team needs to be. I need they need to get something going quickly, but it's they play they play Cleveland. Yeah, coming on the 13th and the 13th. Yeah, they made Baker Mayfield look like Tom Brady. I was just gonna say God almighty. Like, what is this? I mean, right now, uh, what is the season? I mean, we have, uh, they're just an average, I think they're just an average team. Yeah. Like, I mean, they could still win the division because the division is not that good. I mean, the commanders are the best team. And we all know that they're, they're kind of fugacy, but like, they're just not great. Right now, Sam Darnold has like the best quarterback rating in the NFL. I have my having with my fantasy team. I was like, what is happening? Uh huh. But Jalen Hurst, they had that chance in the second half and he fumbled again. Yeah, I know. Yeah. Yeah. Year five, he's still turning the stinking ball over. All right. Enough of that. Yeah. Could we get some peptides or something? We have to heal. Peptides, a lot of business. We'll need a lot of pep. Please. All right. Let's talk about the forecast and see if there's any sunshine in, uh, for Greg Stalker, please. Allegedly. I'm saying allegedly because the forecast continues, you know, whether you look at the National Weather Service, which I look at, all of them, they, all the different models claim that the, a peak of sun will come out this afternoon. Oh, thank you. A peak. A peak. Just a little peak. So 72 degrees is your high. What are we at? 61 right now? It's kind of drizzly and miserable. So 72 degrees and partly cloudy today, tomorrow, 70 degrees. And we remain in this pattern where more clouds than sun, but allegedly a peak of sun at some point every, every day, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, remaining hovering around between 70 and 72 degrees, then for the later part of the week, we warm up. So you think of Thursday, 78 degrees, partly sunny Friday and I'll say Friday and then the weekend look beautiful Friday, 79 degrees, mostly sunny skies Saturday. When you think about Saturday, Butler, PA, you think of sports football, you know, whether it's high school football or, you know, baseball, but Saturday, 76 degrees, partly sunny and then Sunday, 73 degrees, bright, sunny sky. Thank you. So it looks lovely. Yes. They were also saying, you know, we have a deficit of rain, but you know, the problem is we've only had like, it's almost like cruelty because we have all the clouds. We have a spattering. It's like spitting. Yeah. So we only have less than an inch of rain over all of these days. It's like, like a little water sprinkler. I know, it's annoying. It's just just give it to us all at once. Give it over with. I agree. Give it to me. Just saying that, bro. Just fire away, baby. Early in the morning. Give it to me, baby. Oh, Piazza Otter group always gives it to us.

Thank you very much. 6 17. Let's get to a Monday big take. The big take on Kale & Company. All right, the big take this morning. Kamala's border stunt. You can call it whatever you want. A photo op, a cameo, a southern border, Hail Mary, a last ditch effort to appeal to Americans. But the reality is that Kamala Harris and the southern border are tied together and they are an absolute disgrace. And Friday's visit from the Veep in Douglas, Arizona should infuriate Americans who know that she has neglected American security for closing in on four years. Kamala Harris showing up at the border with five weeks to go before an election after ignoring it for almost four years is like that family member who shows up at the funeral home to pay his respects after not being in that person's life for many, many years. You kind of look at that person and you're like, what are you doing here? That's the reaction I had Friday seeing Kamala Harris in her $65,000 Tiffany necklace, strolling the grounds with border patrol agents who likely have no respect for her. And of course, prior to her cameo, she dropped a new border ad because, as always, everything with Kamala is scripted. Listen and watch this. Kamala Harris has never backed down from a challenge. She put cartel members and drug traffickers behind bars and she will secure our border. Here's her plan. I have thousands more border agents enforce the law and step up technology and stop fentanyl smuggling and human trafficking. We need a leader with a real plan to fix the border. And that's Kamala Harris. I'm Kamala Harris and I approve this message. I'm Nick Hale and I'm calling out your BS because if you believe in ounce of that, you need to be checked for a concussion. Nobody in America is buying that now even female allies that you would think she might have on her side at CNN are even calling her out for the border. Listen and watch this. The vice president has a long history, a well-documented history of really being an ally to these immigrant communities. She has two chapters in her book. I say we fight and we are better than this, where she really makes a robust case for undocumented immigrants during the Trump administration. She talked about a climate of fear. She dismissed the border wall as ineffective in a waste of resources. And so, and even her guest at the joint session of Congress was a DACA recipient, was a dreamer. And so for her to go down there and characterize herself as tough on the border, it, to me, it isn't consistent with a lot of the policy positions that she previously has espoused. That's correct because she has made a robust case for murder, rape, drug overdoses, and all of the criminal activity that flows across the southern border and lands in American backyards, destroying American families, especially women. Vivek Ramaswami knows what needs to be done. He said this with Donald Trump, Jr. on rumble. Listen and watch. I'll distill it down to a really simple punch line. Okay. It can be a tale of two mass deportations. First is the mass deportation of millions of illegals who are in this country, illegally send them back to their country of origin and stop them from coming in. But there's also the second mass deportation of millions of unelected federal bureaucrats out of Washington, D.C. I think we achieved both of those things. Amen to that and never forget this border erosion and mass importation didn't just happen overnight. Biden and Harris did the following in their first term. They terminated every Trump policy that sealed and secured the border. They ordered an immediate stop to the completion of the border wall. Kamala Harris suspended all deportations and instituted catch and release across the entire southern border. She sent Congress a bill demanding amnesty for all illegal aliens. She terminated remain in Mexico and canceled every safe third agreement. She ordered ice to halt the removal of virtually all criminal aliens. She ended all of the programs that Trump instituted to stop child trafficking and in the process lost over 325,000 migrant children. She ripped up every reform that was put in place to stop asylum fraud. She ended the travel ban on entry from terrorist regions. She canceled title 42 and her and Joe took 93 executive actions to throw the border wide open. Those are not right wing talking points. Those are indisputable documented irrefutable facts. Arizona, which is where Harris was on Friday, also had built a shipping container wall. Texas had built the buoy walls and they installed razor wires. What did this administration do? Well, Biden and Harris sued them to remove it and the border agents. They're not buying her Friday photo op either. Here's a tweet from Bill Malusion of Fox News from the border patrol union and their statement. Quote VP Kamala Harris is making a border visit in Arizona today. Her first visit to the southern border since June 2021 when she went to El Paso, Texas. After years of not just ignoring the problem but helping create it, Vice President Kamala Harris is finally heading down to the border. There is nothing more than for her to check the box. That's what this is all about. But what it is in reality is a slap in the face towards the men and the women that put their lives on the line every day. Where has she been signed? Art Del Quato VP National Border Patrol Council. And always remember we have the receipts. Here's a montage of Kamala Harris telling America and the border patrol agents that undocumented immigrants are not criminals. Listen and watch. It is wrong to somehow suggest that an undocumented immigrant is a criminal. Being an undocumented immigrant is not a crime. I know what a crime looks like. An undocumented immigrant is not a criminal. An undocumented immigrant is not a criminal. An undocumented immigrant is not a criminal. An undocumented immigrant is not a criminal. Well, ICE would beg to differ. Major bombshell dropping on Friday as ICE released the following statistic statistics. According to Bill Malusian of Fox and a stunning letter sent to Reptoni Gonzalez by ICE, the agency reveals that there are currently 13,000 plus non-citizens convicted of homicide and 15,000 plus non-citizens convicted of sexual assault who are roaming the United States today as part of ICE's non-detained docket. So Kamala, why don't you try telling all of this to perhaps Lake and Riley's parents. Independent journalist Michael Schellenberger pointing out, quote, "No matter your politics, these new numbers are shocking of the 7 million migrants that ICE released while their cases are being processed, 663,000 of them have criminal histories, 13,000 convicted of murder, 16,000 of sexual assault, and another 1,900 facing homicide charges." And by the way, anytime a Democrat or the mainstream media tries to hit you with the, well, Trump stopped the bipartisan bill from passing in Congress. You just hit him back with this. 75% of that bill was foreign aid to Ukraine, Taiwan, Israel, and Gaza. And on top of that, it would have written into law that up to 5,000 illegals per day, or if you extrapolate that, 1.8 million per year would still be allowed to cross the border. It gave DHS the power to fast-track citizenship for illegals already in the country. And it funneled millions of dollars to left-wing non-profits that are settling and resettling illegals all over this country. Translation, that bill was further immigration disaster. Donald Trump, your thoughts, listen and watch. According to this brand new data, never seen before, over 13,099 convicted murderers have crossed the border and are free to roam and kill in our country. These are convicted murders. These are people that were in jail. Now, I've been talking about this for three years. When I heard they were opening up the border, three and a half years, I said, "If they open the border," because I know the people on the other side in this smart, savvy people, you know, they're at the top of their game. Our leaders are not at the top of their game at all. They never were, actually. But our leaders are not. These are smart people. And these are countries from all over the world. 13,000, more than 13,000 convicted murderers have been let out of jail, and they're roaming our streets, their country all over. And every state is a border state. You know what that means, right? Every state, because they fly them in. Can you imagine they fly them in these people? I actually, I'm starting to think they're stupid. They're just stupid. There's one other. So that's to on as well. And other numbers came out along with it over 13,000 convicted murders from jails in John. I told you they're releasing them for jails and these fake people, these stupid people, which they don't release them from jail. They do, Mike. They do. You know that you better elect him, your senator. I'll tell you. That was Trump in Michigan this past Friday. So the reality is this. It is crystal clear. They want to replace you. They want to add new voters and they want cheaper labor. That's what this is all about. And they don't care about your safety or your well-being. So Kamala, spare us, you grew up a middle class kid, because at least when you did, your border was secure. But you, Kamala Harris, have been derelict in your duty, blood on your hands and lies out of your mouth. And if Americans want protection, those Americans out there who value their safety and security, they will fire you on November 5th. And that's the big take. The big take on killing company. All right, big take this morning.

This is the K.O. and Company podcast from Talk Radio 1210 W.P.H.T. and on the free Odyssey app. The developments that we saw Friday at the border, whether it was Kamala's first appearance since, I mean, think about that June of 2021. I mean, that feels like an eternity ago. And then ICE, which I think, you know, we always talk about these scripted moments from Democrats, where, you know, all of a sudden Trump started doing well with some polls, outcomes and indictment, hunters in the news, outcomes and indictment. I felt like maybe they flipped the script a little bit on Kamala on Friday as she gets to go to Arizona and ICE all of a sudden releases those statistics and tries to upend her little cameo in Douglas, Arizona, your thoughts on what transpired Friday. As far as her appearance at the border, 20 minutes, not acceptable. I think that if you're going to go make something out of it. So it was a mistake. It was a misstep. It was, you know, it was 20 minutes, 20 minutes. So basically a photo op. Oh, my, I mean, I did not know that, but like 20 minutes, you're flying all the way to Douglas, Arizona. I mean, don't you have to spend a couple of hours there, you know, behind closed doors, chatting with some of the supervisors, going over some statistics, what your vision is, because we heard the ad, well, we're going to put new technology and we're going to have new agents and we're going to crack down on fentanyl. 20 minutes. That's it. That's all she could muster up. 20 minutes with it with, I think it's a 65 or $70,000 Tiffany necklace. By the way, she was dressed like she was going shopping during the holidays, you know, between Black Friday and Christmas. You didn't look like a lady that was ready to, you know, roll up her sleeves, put on some boots and get in the mud of Arizona, did she? No, I mean, she's trying to look. So she wore a khaki jacket. So she's trying to look like she's, I don't know, fits in with, you know, the border. So a khaki jacket and then a dark brown shell, like shirt or t-shirt and then dark pants. She's still wearing heels. But the, what caught everybody's eye was that necklace. Oh, I know. And she can't say it's costume because she has worn it, you know, like we can't help but notice that it's a gorgeous, it's like that chain link, Tiffany, it's a classic necklace. And if you look, anybody can look it up, it's like $62,000. Yeah, very pretty. Tiffany's. Yep. And so it's just a reminder that this person, you know, and people were writing this whole thing in a positive way. Oh, she wears Tiffany's to show her strength and, you know, since college, she wore Tiffany's pearls. It's like, this is somebody who claims to not be privileged. But, you know, in her sorority and they wrote about her pearls, and she wore the Tiffany's in her soror. I was, when I was in college, waitressing by ways your journalism school, I was not wearing Tiffany Pearl anything. When I was in college, I couldn't afford a girlfriend named Tiffany, much less Tiffany necklace and earrings. It's just outrageous. I mean, we talk about the disconnect, right? And it's, you would think, honest to God, and I know, you know, Trump was born into wealth the whole bit, right? But like, Trump resonates as a bazillionaire with the every man, more than Kamala Harris, who has somehow gotten super wealthy in the public sector of American politics, right? Like, again, we, you know, we always talk about the congressmen and senators and congresswomen in the, what is it, $170,000 salary, which is a nice salary, right? But we sit there and we say, well, how do you have $170,000 salary, yet you have a net worth of $29 million? How is it that you hit 90% of your stock transactions on the market? And like, you just look at Kamala Harris and you're right. I, I really think, you know, she can keep selling this middle class nonsense, but she hasn't qualified for middle class in a long, long time. And I don't begrudge her for it. I'm a capitalist get every penny you can in this lifetime. Just don't insult my intelligence along the way. And there was, you know, there was somebody you, you're basically being quoted. I mean, there was somebody on social media, even over the weekend, saying what you, you know, a lot of people, especially women saying, Oh, really, she's middle class. Because I think probably enough or nothing, but probably women were the ones that noticed the Tiffany necklace. Yeah, I wouldn't be able to spot Tiffany. And so it's just a symbol of the fact that, you know, she and her husband, they should, they love to air commercials about trumping wealthy, but they are millionaires many times over dug off as super, super wealthy guy. And so they're very wealthy. I mean, she's so she's living the high life. And she's showing up the the fact that she doesn't even have the sense to not wear something like that. It shows me something a different layer. She was more worried about the look of the khaki jacket. But I think I'll wear my Tiffany gold link. You know, it's very thick, you know, gold necklace. So I think it's, you might think, well, that was weird. The people focused on it. But it just shows the hypocrisy of this individual combined with the fact that she shows up for 20 minutes. Yep, that's just ridiculous. I mean, if you're going to be there, you have to at least be there for the duration of the flight, how long it takes you to fly there. So I mean, like if the flight was 60 minutes, I mean, could you spare an hour combo? You haven't been there since the summer of 2021. I mean, for God's sakes, I was still in Nashville, Tennessee at that time. And that was in El Paso, Texas, El Paso, Texas, when she was last there. But let's get to the events of the weekend specifically Saturday, what I thought was very interesting. And I was excited to see whether or not the networks would show Donald Trump at the Alabama Georgia game Saturday night in Tuscaloosa. The game was broadcast by ABC channel six. And you started to see some of the videos on social media before the game, where the concourse inside of the stadium was absolutely packed with individuals waiting for Donald Trump to come walking by. His supporters were lined up just to catch a glimpse of him. So you had that. And then the stadium went absolutely nuts. When the public address announcer introduced him during one of the media timeouts, there was chance of USA, USA, USA, there were Trump chants. And I got to tell you, I was actually shocked that ABC showed him on TV because the first quarter went by. They did not make a mention or do they did not show a visual of Trump with Kid Rock, John Daly and a few others in his suite. So the end of the first quarter comes, they go to a commercial break. The last promo or ad during that commercial break was a political ad for Trump. They came back and they showed the cameras on him. Yeah, he was clapping. He was waving. The crowd was going nuts. The broadcasters said his name. I believe this is clip number 11. Phil, if we could play this Trump at Bryan Denny Stadium on Saturday night. Okay, so this one is actually this is what I was referencing before. This is the concourse where you're getting all your snacks and beverages and stuff. And a lot of people lined up for Trump, you see him waving. There's Kid Rock. It's like he's tossing boxes of popcorn around. I don't know, maybe a couple of hundred people there, kind of in every different direction, cameras everywhere. Looks like he's handing out either a burger or a sandwich to some people. So the place was going absolutely nuts. And then we'll play more of it for you coming up in the cut sheet with some other clips. But then you had the complete opposite. You had JD Vance at Permani Brothers. And I thought this was ridiculous because again, we're getting all of this in real time. And you take one thing on social media and you run with it as a fact, and then you take the opposite and you run with it as a fact, then we're trying to figure out what exactly happened. So I want to actually play you this. This is clip number nine. This was after there was some reports of JD Vance and his crew not being permitted inside of the Permani Brothers location that apparently they had the okay to go into. But it was corporate above them that created a stink. Let's play clip number nine. And then we'll get to some of these details. We paid for everybody's food. We gave a nice tip. And of course, when I gave a nice tip, I said no taxes on tip. It's all right. Don't hold it against her. She just got a little nervous, but it's a great local business. Keep on supporting. And most importantly, November 5th or before go vote, let's go win this thing. So this is this is interesting because he is saying that she got a little nervous, the manager or whoever is running that location, which that is what the conflict is about because the Vance campaign, according to the post millennial, had approval from the PA Permani Brothers visit before it was shut down by corporate. They say the following during a visit to this location in Pennsylvania, the JD Vance campaign had gotten permission to host an event at the well known Permani Brothers sandwich shop. However, according to sources close to the campaign, the Ohio Senator and vice presidential candidate were made to leave the location by higher ups in the restaurant chain's corporate offices. Sources close to the campaign told the post millennial that they had approval from the manager of the shop to go in, do a campaign stop, meet and greet people from the area. More than 100 people were there waiting to see JD Vance. However, after he arrived, everything was fine. But when the media showed up and the manager called corporate, the higher ups shut it down, according to a source. So I don't know what the whoever JD Vance is referring to this female that panicked. I mean, why are you panicking is my first question? Did Osama bin Laden show up at your shop or did JD Vance show up at your shop, to which Permani Brothers had to issue this statement on social media as they said the following. Permanis prides itself on being a staple of the Pittsburgh community and a proud American business that has hosted sitting president's politicians and political candidates from across the spectrum for over 90 years. Our doors are open to all patrons who wish to dine with us. Without any advanced notice, today's campaign stop, which again, this apparently seems to be a communication breakdown because they got the approval to go there. But Permani Brothers says the following. Without any advanced notice, today's campaign stop caused some momentary confusion for our staff. You can see the statement here posted on YouTube. However, Senator Vance and his team were welcomed into our restaurant shortly after and engaged with our guests inside and on the property. Senator Vance's supportive comments that our manager got a little nervous given the secret service police and crowd accurately reflect the nature of what occurred. And we are glad that it was resolved quickly. Don Stensland, does this happen if Kamala Harris, Tim Walls, Joe Biden, roll into Permani Brothers? Do you think the manager calls corporate upon seeing secret service and is a little bit rattled? I would say no. Just the guests on my part though. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know what to think on this because it was initially reported that he was that he was they set it up and then that they turned him away. And then the customers, the crowd inside was upset and left. Well, vice president and presidents, they don't just go to Pat's cheesesteaks or Permani Brothers sandwiches without giving notice or asking permission from the location they want to go to. You've got secret service. You're trying to protect the lives. You got to scout the area the whole bit, right? You just don't randomly show up. So this this notion or this conflicting report of confusion, I mean, Permani Brothers is a franchise, right? I think they're I think they're a franchise. You can purchase them and you can own them or if they're not a franchise, like this one apparently is just, you know, operated by a manager that reports the corporate. Again, I just all this confusion. Why is there always confusion? How difficult is that? Hey, JD Vance and co are going to be there. Make sure you give them the best treatment possible. You got it, boss. Thank you. It sounds like it was one. They're just saying a restaurant worker who told the media cameras were not allowed. They did not want a campaign event. And that's when, because everybody inside all the customers, they were there for Vance, they were packed, right? So they canceled their food orders and said we're out of here. And they threw a fit. And then apparently somebody made a phone call then and whoever is whoever was really in charge said, no, no, they were approved. So it was this lone employee. Yeah, who said, no, no, no, no cameras allowed here. And they tried to poo poo it, right? And just so you guys know, Kamal Harris did show up at a Permany brothers in August and August. I'm sure they rolled out the red carpet. It was a it was a fine. It was a fine visit. So I'm not sure there seems to be a little miscommunication here. I know. There's always miscommunication. Yeah. In a world where you have a bazillion ways to communicate. Look, I could it be one rogue lone person? I don't know, maybe. But it seems to me like it's poor advanced work by his team. And this has happened before with him where he showed up at some donut shop or something like that. And they didn't want to be filmed. And he like he had this awkward moment. And that's just that's just really bad advanced work. You know, from his from his from his handlers, make sure you're going to a place that knows you're coming is ready for you. There's there's crowds there. Okay. I mean, it's this is the same thing applies. If this is on Vance, then you your team has to be better at communicating. I don't know if it's on Vance. I'm just I'm just giving both sides that yes, it could it could have been one one rogue employee or maybe the Permany brothers didn't want him there. But then but then his team should have known that. Yeah. You know what I mean? Because this that's their job. That's literally their job. Right. Is to make these stops big events. Yeah. You know what I mean? So I don't know. We're never really going to know because, you know, one side of social media saying, ah, he was he was kicked out of this. Right. The other side of social media saying, well, his team should have been so nobody really knows. By the way, not for nothing. Permany brothers, the sandwich kind of mid. What's that? Is there one around here? I had one in I think it was central PA. It was out past Williams poor. Yeah. That's a Western PA thing. They put like french fries on the sandwich. They throw like some coleslaw on some of the sandwiches. Gotta tell you. A little overrated. They're saying it's not a franchise. Oh, it's not a franchise that it's corporately owned. Yeah. Okay. And they've got a bunch of them out that way. But yeah, I've had one before and I was like, this is all the because stealer fans swear by him. Like the Permany brothers to them is like cheesesteak shops here in Philadelphia. Really? Very mid. Yeah. You ever go out to Western PA? Not sure why you would. But if you do, if you try for many brothers, I think you'll be a little disappointed. I don't get the big the big hoopla. But some people like them. 8 5 5 8 3 9 12 10.
