Why I Am Voting For Donald J Trump
You gotta take a listen to this, it's SquawkPod. That's right, CNBC's flagship business news show is a podcast, SquawkPod. This is CNBC Control 2. It is not just the show, folks. It might be even better because it's only audio. Join me, Katie Kramer, as I take you inside the SquawkBox control room and beyond the headlines of our TV broadcast with Joe Kernan, Becky Quick, and Andrew Ross Sorkin every weekday. Relava? Listen to CNBC's SquawkPod free on the Odyssey app. Kale and company weekday morning, 6 till 10. A 15-year-old injured after a shooting broke out near Temple University. This is obviously in North Philadelphia. This happened on the 1700 block of North 12th Street. So Temple officials sent out the alert to warn students, and that's usually what they do, sending out the alert. They police say they found the victim suffering from that gunshot wound to the arm transported to Temple University Hospital, which is right there. No weapons recovered at the scene, no arrests have been made. We know that as often happens, Philadelphia police working right alongside Temple University police to investigate this incident, but at this time it does not appear that any Temple students were involved or victimized in any way by this shooting. So I know they're looking, they're reviewing that surveillance footage around the area to try to locate the shooter. There's no word yet on what may have sparked that gunfire, but they're asking any potential witnesses to come over. But a 15-year-old injured after that shooting breaks out right near Temple University right in North Philadelphia. So another concerning one is we're still in fall, and many people thinking about security on campus. And speaking of Philadelphia and law and order, let's talk about Elon Musk back in court. His attorneys, I should say, back in court, and this time, a victory for Musk as the-- Go yourself. Actually, Krasner was the one who used the-- Seriously used the F word, which is kind of-- I saw we have that for the cut sheet. Yeah. But this is-- Oh, the tough guy. Pencil, this is Krasner's case against Elon Musk, which we know that even pundits, election experts have said this is a form of political persecution by Krasner against a Trump supporter. But this is a Pennsylvania judge yesterday, allowing Elon Musk's $1 million, so-called giveaway, to swing state voters, including here to Pennsylvania, to proceed. So this was a day of testimony yesterday in Philadelphia, in which the billionaires, you know, aides and those who work from acknowledge that his political group had selected the contest winners. So they're not winning by random. It's not like a random drawing for the million dollars, but rather that they were selected. And so this was a bit of a surprise to some people, but Musk's experts-- Because Musk himself said that it was random, because he said that he said it was actually going to be random and if he wasn't random. I'm glad that he won. No, but it wasn't random. Right, but Musk said that it was going to be random. He said it was a random drawing, right? He was kind of a scam. Kind of. I don't know that I don't know, because I'd have to go back and listen to everything that he said. So did they-- It seemed like to me that they kind of screened the people that they viewed would be good representatives of the winning check, so to speak, which is still cool. I mean, he's still giving away money, but it was kind of false advertising. Well, did you guys fill out the-- you didn't do it. I did not know. I guess I'm the only one who did. I took Greg's fans-- So when you-- if you went to it and you signed the petition in the writing, the petition did say, do you support the First Amendment? Do you support the Second Amendment? And it did have wording in there, legalese, if you will, that you would willing to be a willing participant and a spokesperson. So there was language in there about that. And so whatever he said on the stage, you still had to read through. It was like a long statement. Which nobody does, right? Nobody reads all of them at the time. I actually did at the time. But it struck me as odd that it said, oh, you'd be a willing spokesperson for the First and Second for the First and Second Amendments, as well as for his pack. I just love that Larry Krasner took the ill. Bottom line, Larry Krasner is a clown who should not have brought charges against Elon Musk. And also, it's a little shady what Elon Musk is doing. That's the bottom line. But I got a tweet yesterday. Elon Musk has like 20 kids with 30 women or something like that, some absurd number. 11 kids. Yeah, what's going on with that guy there? They all live on a compound somewhere. I agree with nothing these two guys say. [LAUGHTER] It's right down there. Elon's repopulating. He's doing his own redistricting. Look, so lawyers for Musk's pro-Trump America pack wanted to persuade this judge, Angelo Fogliata, that the contest was not an illegal lottery as Philadelphia DA Krasner had said. And in this case, the judge ruled on the side of Musk. So he gets to continue. And by the way, he will give away $1 million to some lucky person. 91 Ellis Exorcist was the second prize of years tuition at Trump University. [LAUGHTER] Well, you guys are a bunch of comedians. Tesla Cybertrucks for everybody. Yeah, Alexa, Greg, and Nikhil out the hallway spanking machine by 6.30 AM this morning. So big endorsements. I was surprised to see, I know, Megan Kelly here in Pennsylvania endorsing Trump on stage. Yeah, I watched a little bit of that last night. So that was a reunion. We have Dr. Rand Paul endorsing Trump. And we have one Joe Rogan endorsing Trump. How about that? Now, Dan-- I mean, did anybody think he was not going to endorse him? Here's my theory. If Kamala Harris joins him on the podcast and we got both candidates on the Joe Rogan experience, I don't think he endorses Trump. I think this was a last second by design. Bleep you for blowing me off. I disagree. I think as soon as R.K. Jr. went to the Trump camp, Elon Musk is his buddy, Daniel White's his buddy. These are all like his inner circle. There was no chance in my mind, no shot in my mind that he was not endorsing Trump. See, I look at it from a standpoint of Trump went on with Rogan, Vance went on, and even John Federman went on. Yep. So I mean, now, if you would have told me pre-interview with any of those three, who is he more likely to endorse? I agree. It would have been Trump, but-- I'm surprised he waited until eight o'clock last night to do it, or whenever he did it. By design? I know. Last second. I don't know. You know? 23rd hour type deal? Yep. In my opinion, there are so many people who haven't perhaps voted in years because they love Dr. Rand Paul. And we haven't heard a lot from him. And I have to wonder what impact Dr. Rand Paul's endorsement of Trump within 24 hours of this all-important election. What impact does it have on those independent registered voters in these three states? The same as Beyonce. I don't know. No, I seriously, I don't know. Speaking of Beyonce, by the way, in celebrities, so the Harris campaign, the local media calling it a massive election eve rally on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, not so far away from where we're broadcasting live here from Odyssey World headquarters. But I will tell you that there are many street closures. I know that the drives are still Kelly Drive. A lot of the drives are still closed. Exit ramps are still closed. So just watch the traffic this morning. I'm hearing that those closures, those road closures, because of that concert last night in which Pennsylvania Senator Bob Casey was there. He's obviously getting a run for his money by Republican political outsider who's never been a politician, Dave McCormick. So Casey was there, Philadelphia Mayor Shirel Parker. They had kicked this off at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. But I'm told that these street closures may actually last until eight o'clock tonight. Bad cheese. I don't know, so Aiken's Oval, that whole area, and the drives were impacted, some exit ramps. This happens, this does happen, like every election period. I never understand why. But just a heads up for anybody heading, you know, in and out of Philadelphia. That's not a pretty sight. So we are sponsored this morning by American Heritage Credit Union, ready to buy a home with American Heritage Credit Union's Home Connection. You get cash, rewards, lower mortgage rates, and discounts. Just visit AmericanHeritage. cu.org/homeconnection, insured by NCUA, not November, joined today, NMLS, 43, 38, 38. Thank you, American Heritage Credit Union for sponsoring our Kill and Company News Live on this really a beautiful day weather-wise for election day, we're at 52 degrees with a heavy fog in some areas. But that should burn off with the sun, 76 degrees today. And then tomorrow for your Wednesday, 80 degrees. For Wednesday, we remain warmer than usual. Thursday with 73, all sunshine. Friday, the sun remains with 67 degrees. And then for the weekend, we go into the mid to lower 60s, still quite seasonable. I don't see measurable rain. You know, here we are in November 5th. I don't see measurable rain through the 10-day forecast. - It may never rain again, Don. - This could be it. - This is it. - What is going on? - By the way, JML tweeted us at 6.08. And he is waiting in line, 6 a.m. He says he's never had to wait in line this early before he tweeted us a picture of it. There's a line wrapped around the building. - Do not get out of line. - So wait, in Jersey or in, okay, not in Pennsylvania? 'Cause I thought, man, we're in trouble in Pennsylvania, they're lined up. You know what I mean? Nearly two hours ahead of time. - I gotta go to my little school. They actually, I just realized that they moved my voting location. I'm glad I double checked yesterday online and went from a church to a school. So I gotta be there today around 11 o'clock and fight off the lunch crowd. - Yeah, it's well, as Linda Kearns remember warned us yesterday, the lines they are expecting, record turnout across, especially Pennsylvania. So get ready to stand in line. And like Nick said, try to get there during, maybe lower, you know, if you go at lunch time, obviously you're right when school gets out, that sort of thing, those are gonna be the heavy time. - It's funny because I saw a statistic last night that's North Carolina and Georgia. Like 81% of people vote, like eligible voters voted either early or by mail. That's only 25. - I know, I know, that's what, that's my concern. And we've seen it in the Sun Belt compared to the Rust Belt, the numbers are staggering. - Yep, yep. So get out and vote today, but call in to us. This is Killing Company News Live. - No, I don't, thank you very much. 617 Tuesday morning, let's get to an election day, big take. - The big take on Killing Company. - And it's brought to you by Budget Blinds, the big take why I am voting for Donald J. Trump. You know, I believe in giving my audience, my honest opinion, on every subject, on every story, every single day. Whether you agree with me or not is irrelevant. I value the marketplace of ideas, we all have opinions. And I'm for everybody expressing them and letting society sort it out with what to believe, who to believe, and then responding and acting accordingly. I don't believe political endorsements really matter. I think they hardly move the needle. And I don't tell people who to vote for, but I am telling you this morning why I am voting for Donald Trump. And I'm going to give you my eight positions and eight beliefs to put it out there for discourse and discussion. And it's up to you if you want to debate me on any of my views. And I've made my voting history known publicly on this show when we launched in October of 2022. I became a Republican eight years ago in 2016 because of Donald Trump and I voted for him. Prior to that, I only voted one time. That was for Barack Obama in 2008. And this will be my fourth time voting. Once Democrat for Obama's first term, twice for Donald Trump and here we go for round number three. And if you recall, in 2022 when we started the show and the first half of 2023, I was of the belief that Ron DeSantis was the GOP's best chance of winning the next election. If he could get past Donald Trump in a primary, my fear was that Trump was dead on arrival in the general election, but that changed. And in 2024, here are the eight reasons why I am riding with Donald Trump. And those reasons are the economy, free speech, illegal immigration, weaponized government, police and crime, global wars, CRT in classrooms and men in women's sports. Let me start with the economy and I'll package inflation and energy under the economy umbrella. Under Donald Trump, my dollar went further. Groceries were cheaper, gas was cheaper, the cost of heating and cooling my house was cheaper, inflation was around 2%. And the cost of home ownership was fair and affordable. Now, at 40 years old, I'm making the most money I've ever made in my life and home ownership is almost out of reach. The American dream is on life support. Number two, next up, free speech. I live in a world where I value the Bill of Rights, I value the Constitution. Democrats, the elites and the mainstream media, they no longer value free speech. And I'm pretty darn close to being a free speech absolutist. You should be able to say what you want. Now, I do believe that there are consequences and I don't like hate speech, but what transpired on social media platforms during the pandemic pushed me to this medium and this career choice. I don't believe political speech should be a one way street when we live in a two party country and you see it on the T-shirts, you see it on the sweatshirts, you wore it two Fridays ago in West Berlin. Cale and company, free speech lives here. Number three, illegal immigration. What Kamala Harris, Joe Biden and the DC swamp has done is unforgivable. The great replacement theory has happened right in front of our faces and it comes at your expense. Countless women or children assaulted, raped, tortured and killed. All because Democrats are trying to turn America into a one party nation as they've unloaded illegal immigrants all over the country, specifically the seven swing states, flying people in the sanctuary cities at all times of the night. Why are they doing that if they have nothing to hide? Number four, weaponized government. We don't indict our political opponents in America. We don't arrest them. We don't raid their houses. We don't charge them with countless trumped up felonies, especially by prosecutors and district attorneys who are soft on crime in their own jurisdictions, especially those who campaigned on going after a politician if they got elected. Number five, returning power to the police and cracking down on violent crime. I'm done with the defund the police era. I'm not gonna tolerate any media outlet or politicians attempts at demonizing, demoralizing or defunding police officers anymore. Failed experiment, it doesn't work. You've emboldened the criminals and they laugh at authority because they know nothing will happen to them. They'll be back out on the streets in hours. Number six, wars. Trump wants to end pointless wars and the nonstop funding of the war machine. I despise the military industrial complex. I love the war-mongering politicians who don't have an ounce of testicular fortitude, but they'll send your kid over there to get his head blown off. War is big business and Trump's a businessman, yet Trump wants no part of it. That's why they want Trump out. He's a thorn in the machine's side. Under Trump, we had peace in the Middle East. Under Trump, Russia didn't invade Ukraine. Under Trump, Iran, North Korea and China knew not to mess around. I'll take the mean tweets and the occasional comments that leave you scratching your head and saying, "The hell is Trump babbling about?" And I'll take all of that with world peace. Number seven, men in women's sports. If you are born with male genitalia, you have no place in a woman's locker room, no place in a woman's bathroom, or their sport, or any safe space that biological females are supposed to be free of biological males. I have twin 10-year-old daughters. They're not gonna be pushed aside for somebody born with a penis who is now experiencing a mental health crisis. That's a you problem. It's not gonna be my problem. And then number eight, critical race theory. I'm over the classroom indoctrination. I'm done with having left-wing educators insist that all white people are inherently racist. And you will not put this blatant, slanted anti-white agenda in front of my children. Teach 'em about slavery. No problem with that. Teach 'em about America's ugly past. I got it. But the radical elements of CRT, it doesn't fly with me. The same goes with the sexualized content. There won't be any pornographic material in front of my daughters as minors, free puberty, no way. Donald Trump, in my opinion, the clear and only choice. Why? Because from 2017 to 2019, he delivered. I had more money. I had free speech. My border was secure. We're not on the verge of World War III. Police were able to keep us safe and free. And free speech wasn't being trampled on like it is today. The reality is this. The Democrat party of today is unrecognizable from past Democrat party generations. That's why I'm voting for Donald Trump. Common sense policies results in his first three years before the world went sideways during his fourth year. And if that makes me deplorable, if that makes me a Nazi, if that makes me a supporter of Hitler, or if that makes me garbage, then so be it. If it wasn't for COVID and the George Floyd debacle, Donald Trump is wrapping up his second term. But today I'm voting for Donald Trump. So he starts a second term, albeit four years late.

This is CNBC Control 2. It is not just the show, folks. It might be even better because it's only audio. Join me, Katie Kramer, as I take you inside the SquawkBox control room and beyond the headlines of our TV broadcast with Joe Kernan, Becky Quick and Andrew Ross Sorkin, every weekday. Roll off it.

Myself, Dawn, Rich Zioli, right out of the gate in the seven o'clock hour, appearances by Jimmy Fela, Michael Pelka, Matt Rooney, of course, Dom Giordano. Dom will be handling the back half of the coverage tonight from nine o'clock until whenever the hell we decide to call it a night, right? Exactly. Here's the thing with Dom Giordano, he is the king. I mean, even in working in television news, I will tell you that nobody's better than Dom. He has been covering elections. It's a skillset that few people have. Nobody does it better from the local to the national. And I think if you care about this election, you want to listen, we'll have it all. And we'll have, remember Linda Kearns will be at election court. So we'll be checking in with her as well. So just trying to navigate as far as anybody with an issue going on, we can help communicate that to the election court as they look at making sure that this election is transparent. There is election integrity. I look forward to this for many years when I was in the other format of sports talk, I was always asked to host like NFL draft night coverage. And there's nothing better than when you're broadcasting and you're covering an event. And I'm not talking about, you know, play-by-play, but where things are transpiring. And Don, you always say things like, you know, what's developing and what's breaking. And we're going to be on the air tonight. I've got my command center set up at home. The engineers spent hours getting me set up for this. So, you know, we're going to have, I'm going to have, you know, probably Fox on. I'll have two laptops up, social media. And we'll be, you know, tracking everything. What percentage of precincts are reporting? What state has been called? We're going to give you all the details. And there's nothing better than reacting to something this big and this monumental live in real time. You know, it's kind of like, you know, being a reporter out there in the middle of conflict on, I'm sure you've covered many things, whether it's with police, you know, these national reporters that are in war scenes, you know, it's a different level of adrenaline that kicks in. And it's, it's not a scripted show in advance. So Kamala Harris could actually never do election night coverage because she would be fumbling over her own tongue for four hours because you got to react and bob and weave and keep your head on a swivel all night long. So I'm looking forward to it tonight. I think what Zioli's going to be technically out, he'll be out in Western Pennsylvania. He's in McCormick headquarters. So he'll be with McCormick in Pittsburgh. Okay. So, and then he'll continue on. We'll join him at seven o'clock, right? And so, you know, I think we've, we've got it covered as far as locally, I mean, a lot of local election. I'm sure that's what Mark Fazetti is looking at locally. What does this mean? Are there any Republicans left in Philadelphia? I'm just curious because we keep hearing that in Philadelphia, there is this red wave that is trending through cities like Philadelphia, through blue cities. Is that true? Is that real? I can't wait to find that out. 855-839-1210. If you'd like to jump in, let's start off. We've got a lot of people that want to weigh in. A couple of mics on the line. We'll start in Fort Dix with Mike. Mike, you're on talk radio, 1210, Mike. You go ahead. Mike. Oh, wait, hang on. Sorry, my phone. Hey, Mike. Open the mic. Hello, Mike. Mike in Fort Dix once. Mike in Fort Dix twice. Mike in Fort Dix, try to give us a call back. All right, let's try Mike in media. Mike, you're on talk radio, 1210. Hey, thank you, guys. I listen to you every morning. I'm from media, and I'm a magga guy. I've been putting signs out for a month all over media, and they kept getting taken. So last night, I went out. I put 40 up. Riding around this morning, they're all gone. And I don't know, man, I was going to take the high road. I took the high road. I was going to take hers down, but I didn't. Well, I think technically, it's against the law to take down anybody's election science. That's correct, right? Especially if it's private property. You have no right to go on anybody's property and remove any sort of political messaging. Well, we saw this a lot during the whole Middle East, Israel, Gaza conflict throughout many cities where people were putting up. Remember the printed out stuff that were on signs and telephone polls, the people that were kidnapped, and then you had these left-wing agitators that were yanking things down, and then people were recording it on their phone and saying, why are you taking that down? I never once in my life had the desire to take down somebody else's political message. Like, why does that bother people? Who cares, right? And it always seems to be the other way around, does it not? I never seem to hear left-wingers or Harris Wall supporters. And to be honest, I haven't seen it on social media either where they are complaining about a Trump supporter. Remember the video we played for you like two weeks ago in the cut sheet where that lady went up to the ring doorbell cam and started chastising that middle-aged mom about voting for Trump. And she's like, you know, he's the devil. How could you do that, right? Remember that? You never see it the other way around. Why is that? 855-839-1210. All right, let's give some data here. I thought this was interesting. So, Politico, with a story out yesterday with the headline, this swing state saw some of the country's highest food inflation. Republicans hope that voters blame Democrats. And Politico's Marcia Brown wrote about the Philadelphia suburbs on how we have dealt with pretty much the highest grocery price increases over the last four years in the entire country. And she writes the following. There are few places in America that have seen food prices spike as dramatically over the last four years as Philadelphia and its suburbs. The fallout could decide Democrats' fate in the critical swing state of Pennsylvania according to interviews with more than 30 voters. The rising cost of living during President Joe Biden's time in office has put Democrats on the defensive nationwide. While food inflation has come down over the past year, prices remain 20% higher than they were in the 2020 presidential election. Nowhere is the issue more salient or potentially more consequential than in the Keystone state. She wrote the following. According to analysis from the federal government, retail food prices in the Philly Metro region surged by nearly 14% on average between 2021 and 2022, lower than only Detroit, Michigan, and Dallas, Texas. In 2023, food prices in the area continued to rise by one of the highest rates in the country. And a consumer affairs analysis found that Pennsylvania as a whole saw the highest grocery inflation in the country in 2023. And they spoke to many different voters here, over 30 individuals. And I just want to read you one of the quotes. And this is from a man named Rich, who is a registered independent. He says, quote, "I blame the president for rising food prices when talking about his groceries in a Philadelphia suburb, shop right parking lot, who declined to give his last name. I used to be a Barack Obama voter. I am completely opposite now. They have changed me. They also go on to talk about all the battles that are being waged here within the state. Obviously, Casey McCormick also up in the Lehigh Valley, where GOP challenger Ryan McKenzie is likewise bashing the Democratic Rep. Susan Wilde on the issue, saying, quote, "People are not stupid. They know that inflation is driven by bad decisions that came out of Washington. High prices of food are driven by inflation. It's not hard to find out and figure this out. And it's not difficult for people to connect those dots." You know, I would like to think, and by the way, how bad is the timing in my life? I come back to my hometown in a place where groceries are the highest they've ever been. And I'm working the first two years I was up here on a strict grocery budget, because my wife and girls were still in Tennessee. And I feel even more vindicated and validated and justified for my grocery store stories on this show and my gripes about it, because the data just backed up what I'm saying. Like I would buy almost nothing. And it was like $118 a week for one person. And I was eating like a college kid, right? So I would like to think on Stensland, whether you're the man or the woman, the husband or the wife, if you are the person that does the budgeting for the family expenses, if you do the grocery shopping, if you say, "Well, we gotta keep it under 250 this week," or family of four, "We gotta stay under 325 this week." I would like to think right here in the heart of Pennsylvania, if you are a one issue voter, the cost of groceries should be at the top of your list, should it not? Because the last time I checked on, if you don't eat, you die. - Well, I think to your point, it is something where you're at the grocery store once or twice a week. Most people with a family, that's what it is. You're at the grocery store a couple times, a week. And so when the, especially the Biden-Harris campaigns, no matter when it was Biden or then Harris, when she took over, they kept telling us, as well as the so-called mainstream lying media, that, "Oh, the economy is getting better. "Everything's getting better, everything's good." And so you knew, everybody knew and knows that's a lie, because you feel it every time you go to the grocery store. And so then it makes you wonder, "Well, if they're lying about that, or they're lecturing me, "and telling me which way to vote, "and that, oh no, not of the pain I'm feeling, "whether it's pain at the pump, "whether it's at the grocery store, "whether it's my electricity bill, "which is through the roof, an estimated 45%, "that we in Pennsylvania pay more, that sort of thing." And so I think at a very basic level, everybody felt like, "Okay, if they're lying about this, "and just telling me that I'm actually not paying more, "which I know that I am, "what else are they lying about?" And so it's that old Bill Clinton, "I feel you're paying." It's like they don't feel our pain. - No. - You know? - No. - It's pretty basic. - You're right. And Kamala Harris' solution to grocery stores and the cost of food is to crack down on price gouging when it's a lie. - Which is a total lie, because if you've ever read about the grocery store industry, they work on incredibly, incredibly small margins. It's like 1.8%, it's miniscule. They're not, now do I think there are some companies out there, whether they're local mom and pop or corporations that have gotten greedy and have said, "Well, you know what, we had to charge 20% more, "but people kept buying it, so what the hell? "Let's keep it at 20% more or 22% or whatever it might be." Yeah, I do think that exists. But for the most part, I think these prices, yes, it's inflation, as Ryan McKenzie says, but it's also, I read this analysis, it really comes back to energy and Trump had energy prices at, I mean, gas was as low as, I don't know what state this was, but it was $1.87 a gallon. I'm guessing that's like a rural southern state, but I remember prices in the low twos, for sure, under Donald Trump for gas. I remember my heating and my air conditioning and my electricity and all of that being cheaper. And all of these products require energy, energy to be made, energy to be packaged, energy to be shipped. That is a big reason why the prices for products are through the roof, because it's costing more and more to create and ship these things. So what's the solution? It's three words, drill, baby drill. We have to use more of our energy here and stop relying on these other countries. And I know the Biden-Harris campaign is saying, we are using record levels of domestic energy and domestic oil, blah, blah, blah, well, then why are my prices not coming down, right? You can sit here and tell me the economy is actually in a good spot, but for the average everyday person, how can anybody believe that when groceries are, you know, through the roof? I mean, think about home ownership right now. Think about like, you know, I remember dawn when I was, this would be six years ago. So I moved down to Nashville in 2018 and we were in the early stage of looking for a house. And, you know, this is where, you know, there was still some value in getting real estate in Nashville. It was booming. It was exploding. Prices were going up, but you could still, you could still get in and get a really nice, and I was looking at some of these houses. They were like four beds, three baths, 2,500 square feet, you know, built in 2006, modern kitchen, the whole bit. And this isn't some of the suburbs of Nashville. And it was like, you know, $375,000. And that house at that time, if that was up here in Pennsylvania, it was probably about 475, 500,000. And then the pandemic hits. And now I go back and I look at some of the real estate websites, like Zillow and Realtor.com and stuff like that, some of the houses that I know I was looking at in browsing in certain neighborhoods six years ago, that house that was 375, that thing is now like 595, right? So the cost of living with wage increases, they're not matching. Your boss is like, hey, here's a one percent raise. You've earned it. Okay, well, if everything is 22% more to buy, I'm operating at a loss right here, right? So when those two don't match up, something's wrong. And what's the solution? Voting Kamala Harris out, because I don't think she has any answers. It's funny, I was watching Zioli on Fox. And he was commenting on one of the stories Axios wrote. And Axios has a story of how Kamala Harris is the no comment candidate. And this is a phenomenal hit piece against Kamala Harris. They say the no comment candidate Harris, how her strategy clouds how she would govern. And they go on to write the following. And I want people to think about this. And I know most of this audience is gonna vote for Trump, but for the select few out there. So your hatred for Trump is so strong and so bad that you're gonna vote for somebody that has no solution and no comment on anything. Axios writes, one thing is clear about Vice President Harris and her intent to stick to her old liberal views or govern with new centrist thinking. She doesn't want voters to know. They go on to write why it matters. Harris is the no comment candidate purposely and strategically. She has calculated that it is safer to be vague on policy matters than lampooned as a flip flopper or left winger. Harris and her staff have refused to detail her position on more than a dozen of her previous stances. The past three months in response to questions by Axios. So it's not Jesse Waters from Fox News, grilling her. It's Axios, very left wing friendly. The response to those inquiries, no comment. I don't know about you, Don, but I could say what you want about Trump. If Trump had no comment and didn't wanna tell you what his policies were, it would be difficult, it would be more difficult to vote for him because I wanna know what I'm signing up for. I wanna know what I'm voting for. I wanna know what I'm purchasing. I've used the car example in the past. Would you ever buy a car from a car dealership if they didn't tell you the price of it, what the terms were, what the features of the vehicle were, and then all of a sudden, once you signed up for it, you were stuck with the bill and you realized, oh, this isn't what I wanted to purchase. How in God's names, how in the blue hell? Can anybody vote for Kamala Harris if she's not gonna lay out any of her policy positions? - Yeah, I think that when you look at that, there's no contest. And I do think even though Trump and Republicans in general have pushed the issue of the open border and safety, security, the crime issue, I think that is up there. But you know, you had mentioned Ryan McKenzie, state representative here in Pennsylvania. I'll say this, I will be curious to see the coattails that Trump may or may not have. So somebody like McKenzie, who I've interviewed multiple times, not because he made headlines, but because I saw him gaining a lot of traction, people talking about him here in Pennsylvania as somebody who has a business degree, somebody who just has gone door-to-door in a grassroots campaign, he and his wife have a baby, young child, and you look at somebody like that in Pennsylvania's, serving now at a state level on the 187th legislative district as parts of Lehigh County. But somebody who's getting some national traction, and you think about that, that could he beat a Susan Wild type candidate because she's too far left and because she has just been obtuse when it comes to understanding the needs, the basic needs of Pennsylvanians. And I think that one is a harbinger of what's to come on this election day. I think that the McKenzie race, I think tells me what I need to know. Somebody who has served on Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry, has served on different oversight committees, financial service and banking subcommittees, that sort of thing. This is a financial expert who is adept at having these conversations, going door-to-door with people and saying, "I can help fix this, put me in Congress." And I think that that kind of a race is one that maybe it's not sexy. Do you know what I'm saying? Maybe it doesn't get the top of the ticket headlines. - No, you're right, it doesn't. - Yep. - But I think that it gives me personally a lot of hope as somebody who, in a very grassroots, common sense way, I believe that Ryan McKenzie could win and be one of those sort of surprise elections that gets national coverage right here in Pennsylvania, and does that tell you how Pennsylvania is going to go? - 855-839-1210. Let me grab Susan, she's in media, she is down at the Delaware County Courthouse to be a poll watcher today. Susan, good morning, how are you? - Good, how are you? - We're well. - Where I'm inside the Delaware County Courthouse, we were told to be here at 615 to pick up certificates so that we could go in and be poll watchers. There's about 30 plus people here in line waiting. They're stalling, they're telling us that somebody will be here, somebody will be here. These were supposed to be ready by Saturday and they weren't. So there's a lot of shenanigans going on here too. Everybody's curious. - How long are the voting lines right now at that spot? - I'm not even in where the voting is. We're inside the courthouse just waiting for the Bureau of Elections to open to give us certificates so we can go to our location. - And they open, voting starts in exactly three and a half minutes and you're not even in your proper position yet. - Correct. - Correct. - What a disaster. - This is unbelievable. - Yeah, sadly expected. Susan, thank you very much. Keep up the good work. - All right, all right, thanks. - You got it, there she is. Susan in media, Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania, Delco. Nobody's ready to go. What's the old adage stocker would say? We started 6 a.m., we started 7 a.m. with this and people don't even have their proper stuff. What a disaster. 855-839-1210. Donald will have some news to kick off hour number two and then also stocker will give us the final early voting turnout, courtesy of NBCNews.com. What do the figures look like now that we are in person on election day and did those numbers change it off compared to yesterday? We'll find out back after this, hour two of Kayla Company. - You know, they call me the bubble wrap mom. I'm always concerned about safety and privacy and it goes way beyond being just a protective parent, right? And so when it comes to keeping your searches private and out of those data profiles or the government and other legal requests, you need to use DuckDuckGo. So DuckDuckGo does not track you at all. That's regardless of what browsing mode that you're in. Every time you search on DuckDuckGo is as if you've never even been there before and that's what I love about DuckDuckGo. Discover them as you may remember, I was talking about them years ago, but there's something new that I've subscribed to with DuckDuckGo and it's called Privacy Pro. This is a three in one privacy subscription service that helps you protect your personal information from being exploited by those hackers, the scammers, the privacy invasive companies. Plus it's from DuckDuckGo and that's why I trust it. With Privacy Pro, that's the subscription. DuckDuckGo's VPN actually secures your Wi-Fi connection anytime, anywhere. Number two, they have identity theft restoration. If your identity gets stolen, DuckDuckGo privacy, Pro helps you restore it and then they do have that personal information removal and that one's incredible as well. But as far as this goes, the VPN, for example, we had stayed at a hotel over the weekend, a couple of weekends ago and they want you to go on their hotel Wi-Fi and maybe giving you a passcode. And you might say, "Oh, it's safe." But then when you look at it and it says, "Oh, not secure, connection not secure." Have you ever noticed that? Or maybe you're at a store, maybe you're down the shore in the summer, it says, "Not secure." You never have to worry about that with DuckDuckGo's VPN because it secures your Wi-Fi connection anytime, anywhere, whether you're visiting temporarily over the weekend, long-term, and that's really what I love about it. Privacy Pro is gonna help you remove your personal information also from any of those creepy sites so they cannot share it or sell it, love it.
