We are behind. We're not where we're supposed to be in the early vote. When she says she's the underdog, she is the underdog. Donald Trump, there's no doubt, is in the best position he has ever been in. He has to win more male votes than she's going to win female votes because there are more female voters.

And Trump's doing slightly better among men than she is among women. The watchword of the day is humility here. When you have polls that are this close, you're not sure of anything. This race is filled with uncertainty today. The momentum is on our side.

Generations of Americans before us led the fight for freedom. And now The baton is in our hands. Joe and Kamala broke it, and I will fix it. I'll fix it fast. And America will be bigger and better and stronger than ever before.

It's going to be all of those things. All right, one lasted 107 days. That's Vice President Harris. The other one caps off eight years of campaigning almost constantly, 900 or something rallies. And we've never, whether Trump wins or loses it, we've never seen anything quite like it.

And we've never seen any type of abdication of a nomination that they've already earned, like Joe Biden being kneecapped by the vice president. It wasn't her doing, we don't think, unless some untold story comes out a little bit later. I'm sure there's so many books to come out about the takedown of Joe Biden, who actually scheduled that June. Debate. If they had waited until September, they couldn't have pulled him.

Who has been hiding his cognitive decline, which is so evident of late to the point where, when it came to even campaigning for his vice president, he was told to stay home, and he's already did damage with two separate comments. Coming up this hour, Congressman Doug Collins, because it is Election Day, we talk Georgia with Doug, and Mark Penn is standing by the CEO and chairman of Stagwell Inc. and extremely valuable all the time, but especially now. Mark, I've been watching the last few days. I know it's only been a few hours since you left the air, but is there anything that happened since the rallies wrapped up for Trump at two in the morning?

After leaving Pennsylvania, he went to Michigan, Grand Rapids, That we should know about that might affect your sense that you'd rather be Trump. Then Harris.

Well Look, I think two or three minor things happened. I think first, you know, the final tallies that come in about the the mail-in or walk-in votes are much better for the Republicans. And I put out an article this morning in the Hill explaining kind of the math, that really Republicans will pick up at least a point. because their voters are in the bank rather than having to rely on election day. I thought the endorsements from Joe Rogan and particularly Megan Kelly at the end were significant, a little late, but it does suggest that you don't endorse somebody on the eve of an election unless you think they're going to win.

So at least they think he's going to win. And I thought they were actually two pretty powerful, pretty strong endorsements compared to the Surprising celebrity clothes. I've never been a big fan of celebrities backing political candidates because it mixes the trivial with the serious. Uh and of course in Dick's real match they split three and three, and last time those same voters were six for Joe Biden.

So here is Megan Kelly last night. In case you didn't know, she got a call yesterday or the day before and said, Would you join me in Pennsylvania? She said yes, cut 12. Then he dropped a bunch of F-bombs and I thought I really enjoy this feeling of proving Mark Cuban wrong. And so here I am.

At a Trump rally. A strong, intelligent woman. to prove Mark Cuban wrong again. And the crowd really received her well. She turned around and saluted the hard hat guys behind the steelworkers who said, Yeah, my management wants to endorse Harris.

But the steelworkers showed up Last night, and what about the symbolism, Mark Penn, of steel workers showing up for Trump and Oprah? and Lady Gaga showing up for Harris. As who would you want? Blue collar versus I don't know, polite society.

Well, look, it's believe it or not, it's a political campaign, not a soap opera. You know, again, when I actually ran the Democratic Convention, I all but threw Hollywood out. I just believe that this idea of running a campaign on the basis of celebrities. endorsing when they know you know no they have no expertise in the issues, they don't live the issues, they're far removed. From kind of everyday life compared to steel workers who are right in the thicket, who feel the brunt of foreign steel being made versus US steel.

who live the very issues of this campaign.

So I've always been in favor of that. I I'm I've always been against the kind of celebrity type type close. And unless you believe this is sort of in some kind of new Internet age where people just vote on the basis of stuff like that and don't care about the issues anymore, It is a stark contrast for closing. Not that I think a lot of people are deciding. I think the selection has been decided.

I know you thought two weeks ago, I've been almost like a stalker listening to almost everything you said, but I thought when Van Jones said this last night, I go, I got to pull this for the radio show. He was on CNN, and he's not a Trump fan. Cut 23. That whole Iowa poll thing got everybody all happy. That was just silly.

That was a great pollster with a bad poll. We are behind in Pennsylvania, folks. We are behind. We're not where we're supposed to be in the early vote. And that means get up and go vote.

Stand in long lines, do what you have to do. When she says she's the underdog, she is the underdog. And I think it's important for people when you go to bed tonight to think about, do I know anybody in a swing state? Can I text them? Can I call them?

Can I push people to go both? Pretty much what you were saying. But I guess something that he saw, which he has privileged to, really alarmed him because there was no salesmanship in that. That was just a guy saying, I think the other guy's winning.

Well, look, I think it's standard get out the vote fair to say the other guy's winning unless you go vote.

So I don't put much stock in any of that. I think a lot of this Trump was ahead in the last two weeks that Democrats were conceding was trying to get their vote out. I just go by the fact that there was a million difference in the last time, and there's maybe three or I think 400,000 difference that's 600,000 votes that have been picked up. In fact, Right, that have to come out differently for Democrats on Election Day to win. And that's just the only fact that we actually know.

And I think in terms of the Iowa poll, you know, I pointed out I pointed soccer moms, I call them now soccer grannies. They do care about abortion. It will be interesting to see how they come out. I think that the theory is that senior women will not be as strong for Trump as they otherwise would be because I think Herrick has been successful driving the abortion issue. And surprisingly, it's older women who care about it because they are from the age when it was really illegal, who tend to care about it even more.

So we'll see that you know that's a factor, but I think that's already in the polls. I don't think that's something new. We have older women in every one of the fifty polls that were done in the last few days.

So Mark Penn, our guest.

So Mark, let's talk about the pathway to victory if we could.

So Trump's most likely pathway would be Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina. I don't think it's a stretch or a push, and I have Doug Collins next from Georgia to think that couldn't go that way. And then he would female Pennsylvania at 281. He can lose Pennsylvania and still win the presidency, but he's got to sweep the Sunbelt. And when one of the blue wall states, which I guess it hasn't been done, you haven't is it true that blue wall has not been broken since 1988?

Go one, go all? Yeah, it is true, but it doesn't mean anything in the sense that demographics and local issues in these states change change and I think they have changed. You know, look, I think everything points to to Pennsylvania.

Well, first of all, the interesting thing is Everybody knows this time kind of where the game is. If you go back to twenty sixteen, nobody knew where the game was, and everybody was kind of shocked and surprised. In fact, the Hillary campaign didn't know where the game was. They hadn't even campaigned in the Blue Wall. And so this time, everybody seems to know everything.

I think Pennsylvania is the key state, but I think that the auto worker issue in Michigan, Trump that Trump has really pressed could be strong in turning Michigan that most people think is more difficult, if not Pennsylvania, which I've always found more difficult for a Republican to win.

So I think those are the two most likely changes. If in fact there's been a close here in Trump's direction, yes, all three could go, but he only needs one, right? And I think that he's got more than a fifty percent chance of getting one.

So overall. Things have changed. I don't care who wins. Things have changed. Where you you mentioned this, we've gone blue uh Republicans have gone blue collar.

And they're out there, they're doing everything except get the union vote, but they got the blue collar work vote. And it seems like the Democrats are more comfortable in the upper class, upper middle class, like the people of means. If in fact it's true, how weird would it be for the richest man to ever run for president, maybe per capita, to be the one to change a party from white collar to blue collar? Yes, I think that is the irony of the situation. But it is interesting.

America, even George Washington was actually per capita. He's per capita the wealthiest at the time. America has trusted people like this to do good that they think because they don't need money.

So it is a fascinating, you know, you look at the Kennedys, the Roosevelts, even like if you go back to Washington.

So yes, but it is totally ironic that Trump has turned the Republican Party into largely a working class party. And without those voters, the Republican Party would be completely trounced. while the Democratic Party is a new professional party and has completely reoriented its agenda for into these more educated elite voters. And this fliparound here really has been brought about mostly by Trump and what he did in 2016. Yeah, my last thing was, too, is Roberto Clemente.

I was just like six or eight years old, but I remember him, and the name is just royalty in baseball and sports. But for Central and South America and for Puerto Rico, he literally walks on water. He died with three batting 300, 3,000 hits. And He has his son come out, Puerto Rican, days after that comedian, or one week after that comedian made his comments about Puerto Rico and said, Donald Trump is my guy. I know that Joe Rogan stole the headlines with the endorsement, but does that endorsement help in Pennsylvania?

Well, it could help. I don't know how much time there is. And we don't really know the effect of the media blasting this comedian joke as though it was something Trump said.

Well, we don't really know the impact. There's some contradictory information. I believe that Trump will do better with Latinos because Latinos think the economy is going in the wrong direction. If you look in the polls, black voters by and large say the economy is going in the right direction and therefore are overwhelmingly going to vote for Harris. Latino voters largely say the economy is going in the wrong direction.

They're largely working-class voters. I think Trump is going to do better there than Republicans have ever done. What's your schedule today, Mark, when are we going to see on TV? I'm going to be there tonight.

So, hanging around from 7 to 2 a.m., wherever they throw me in, I'll be there.

So, I know that they expect North Carolina and Georgia to go quickly. uh quickly, m and maybe Michigan. What's going to leave us hanging around? Oh, you know. Pennsylvania is going to definitely leave us hanging around for a long time.

Remember Arizona and Nevada, how long we fretted.

So Nevada could let's hang around for, you know, if things are going well, Arizona will not take as long as it did last time because the evidence is that the polls are much stronger. And I always look at New Hampshire first, right? If New Hampshire is like 10 points for her, you know, that's pretty good. And if it's two points, then that is pretty good for him. You know, people think that these states move independently.

They don't. When 20,000 votes move in the swing states, about 2 million votes have moved in the rest of the country because we're all in more or less a common media environment with the exception of a couple of local issues. All right. Mark, always great. Thanks so much.

It's going to be an exciting night. I'm glad you're going to be there to break it down for us. Thank you. 1866-408-7669.

So when we come back, I'll be able to take some of your calls. I know you have a lot to say. Also, I want to know your voting experience, good, bad, in between, how long you had to wait, what you decided to do. I know you if you're listening to the show, I know you voted.

So please let me know. People are already sending me pictures, which I think is really cool. At 6 o'clock in the morning is when the polls open up on Long Island. And for some friends of mine around 545, 530, they said they showed me pictures of huge lines. It's pretty amazing.

That means people are pumped up to do it. They're pumped up, they're motivated, and I think that's great for the country. That there's no one ambivalent. Uh back in a moment. Covering this election year like no other, it's Brian Kilmead.

Listen to the all-new Brett Baer podcast, featuring common ground, in-depth talks with lawmakers from opposite sides of the aisle, along with all your Brett Baer favorites like his all-star panel and much more. Available now at FoxnewsPodcasts.com or wherever you get your podcasts. A talk show that's real. This is the Brian Kill Me Show. Getting kicked off of Twitter, most people would have just like, this is too much.

I can't take this. But he's so crazy. He's like, all right, come on, we're going to war. And he just. digs his heels in and keeps going.

Yeah. It's the wrong guy to do that to. Just like attacking him at the White House correspondence dinner, most people have been humiliated. He got angry. He's like, Yeah, all right.

You say I can't be president? I was thinking I've been thinking about running for about 15 years. Finally, I'm gonna run. Yeah. Yeah.

So Joe Rogan ended that conversation. By saying If uh Trump doesn't win this election, Muss says uh I think that's all last Elastic Musk says. Rogan came back and says, I think you're right. I think a lot of people are waking up and realizing that who have been lifelong Democrats, Rogan continues, said the great and powerful Elon Musk, if it wasn't for him, we'd all be effed. He makes what I think is the most compelling case for Trump you'll hear, and I agree with him in every step of the way.

For the record, yes, that's an endorsement of Trump. Enjoy the podcast. Think about this. 30 million downloads. He talks to him for three hours.

He talks to J.D. Vance. Yeah, I know he really likes J.D. Vance, but he loves Dana White and he loves Elon Musk. They're longtime friends.

They really respect each other. And they're both sitting there going, We're going for Trump. We're all in for Trump. One says he's a friend, one a great partner. It's a drastic reversal for Rogan, who famously supported Bernie Sanders, a self-proclaimed socialist, and helped develop the new Green Deal, which, by the way, Kamala Harris helped do too.

So, when you have Elon Musk, the most powerful man in business, teaming up with the best businessman to ever run for President Donald Trump, what do you do? If you're Rachel Maddow, you bring up... Russia cut eight. It is Putin's Russian troops who are now using Elon Musk's starling service on the battlefield in their war against our ally Ukraine, even as he cuts Ukraine off from that service at key strategic moments. I mean, Trump himself says he, quote, doesn't talk about his secret communications with Putin.

Bob Woodward's latest book reporting that Trump himself has been in frequent secret communication with Putin since Trump left office and now while he is trying to get back into office. while Putin is leading a new world axis. Not just leading a war against our ally Ukraine, but leading a new world axis of Russia, North Korea, Iran, and China against the United States. Putin leading that axis against the United States with the assistance of one particular American who holds multi-billion dollar sensitive defense and space contracts with the U.S. government and who has mostly taken over the ground game operations and the funding of Trump's presidential campaign.

Do you believe this? He hasn't won. Yet, perhaps. And they're already saying Russia, Elon Musk in Russia. What you should be doing as Democrats should be saying, how do we lose this liberal guy to a Republican?

Who was on the president's business advisory board, but after Charlottesville was misreported in retrospect, everybody knows it. And I was actually not on. It was my only week vacation I've taken. I've taken two one-week vacations or over a week vacations in my life. That was one of them, and it was Charlottesville.

And the guy that walked away from his business council the first time around is now one of his key surrogates this time around. And now you quickly have to say, let's tie them both to Russia. Just trying to get ratings. Please, use your head. Brian Kilmicho.

Doug Collins next. A radio show like no other. It's Brian Kilmead. Hi everyone, welcome back. Exciting day, Election Day.

Brian Kilman here from 1211 6th Avenue in New York. It's really where our whole election coverage begins. Mark Penn was great. He says still Trump signs look strong, especially in Pennsylvania. And, you know, he's a Democratic pollster.

And Doug Collins with us now, former ranking member of the U.S. House Judiciary Committee, author of The Clock in the Calendar. Also, he really knows Georgia inside and out. And you just reminded me, you're in the National Guard. Air Force Reserve.

Air Force Reserve. Yeah. So what does that demand on your time? Um r Now that the Mohawa ranker goes by 40, 30, 40 days a year.

So you'll just, where do you report? Warner Robbins, Georgia. Actually, I'm at Air Force Reserve Command Headquarters.

So, how do you have a job and have those type of I mean, Congress allows you, I know, but does it make it limit you what you could do in your career? A little bit. I mean, not too bad, though, because I serve most of it. I've been 23 years now, so it's, but it's been, I've been in Iraq, I've been everywhere else, and so it's been good. The last few years, Congress, I made it work.

It's something that I believe in. And so I made it work while I was in Congress. I would go do training days. I'd keep my retirement points up. And so it's just a matter of commitment.

And our reservists across this country, our active new members are great, but our reservist, National Guard members across this country are the backbone of our service right now. We can't go to war without our Air Force Reserve or military reserves and our National Guard. The way our posture is right now, we just can't have it without. We don't have enough guys. We don't have enough guys.

Yeah. I mean, right now, there are a lot of things in the Air Force that people don't realize. Did you know that basically all of our refuelers are Air Force Reserve? All the stuff you see with the hurricanes, that's all Air Force Reserve. And there's just a lot of things that are now just the way we're one force, but that's what works.

Do you think the Trump, whoever comes in, whether it's Trump, if they were being responsible? Leaders, they would have to put more money and almost double the defense budget, judging by the amount of challenges we have in the globe right now. I want a two-fold approach. I want more money where it needs to go and less money where it doesn't need to go. And I think for folks in the military who are honest and they look around, we've got a lot of stuff in the military that gets spent money on, time on, and other things that could be rediverted to frontline troops, weapon systems, and also personnel.

Do you think people in Washington understand that? They just don't want to give it up? No, this is the biggest problem, Brian, I've ever seen in Washington, D.C. When I was serving in Congress, we had a bill one time, and it was sort of funny because myself and a couple other conservative Republicans and several very liberal Democrats, we always kept voting against a certain part of the overseas contingency money that always kept getting added to the budget, the war on terror budget. And they kept coming to us.

And finally, I had actually had a New York Times report and said, how are y'all doing this? I said, because what we're seeing right now is we're faking the budget out. We're not spending the money. We're spending it on things that we'd like to have instead of where it goes.

So, I mean, it's just a matter. Of priority for our country. But it's got to be one in which we're feared. And I think that's the concern that most of our members feel right now: they feel like nobody has their back. It times.

The problem. Let's talk about what's happening in Georgia right now. What does the early voting tell you leading up till today? I've never seen early voting like this in Georgia. And here's what it is: Republicans never win the early vote in Georgia.

It's just always, it's just sort of a thing. We've had our Lafor supporters like to vote early, but Democrats always take advantage of it. President Trump said don't. Yeah, in 2020, we had that issue. We didn't this year.

So, what we saw is we won week one, we won week two, and we're still winning week three. What it means, though, is there's also a 10%, 11% vote out there that's what we call uncategorized. In other words, since we don't register by party in the state of Georgia, you have to go on their history. And I've had some people say, well, that uncategorized vote, they're all going for us. I said, no, that's a Trump vote.

Go back to 2016 when these people were showing up and when we started seeing this vote in outside the suburban areas, those are Trump voters coming back and voting because they just don't like the direction of the country. Democrats, here's the other alternative, not just the turnout. You got to look at where the Democrats are not turning out. Clayton County, Georgia. I've pointed this many times.

Clayton County, Georgia, in early turnout was only 46%. The rest of Georgia was 56, 60, 70, even higher. 46% in Clayton County, the bluest county in the country. And they were having trouble getting voters turned out. Is it an urban environment?

It is. It's a it's it's it's one of the heaviest African American turnout uh African American counties in the state of Georgia. Georgia is the highest uh minority African American minority turnout vote in the seven swing states. And so that's a very that's huge for them.

So, I mean, I was talking to going back with one of the staffers with Brian Kemp, and they said reliable voters. I don't know what kind of abbreviation they have. People that show up. He says the thing is throwing them. Is that they're the ones they know are going to vote have not voted early, and it's throwing off their calculus, how they have an idea of how this is trending.

I mean, I can see it in some places, but you're actually seeing, you know, a lot of people say we've pulled a lot of our election day vote into early voting. And the statistics right now, and what we're seeing is only about 20, 25 percent of that, at least is some of the polls that I've seen are actually pulling us out of election day voting.

So I think what you're seeing, though, is this. You're also seeing a lot of voters in Georgia who still prefer, this is a statement in Georgia that we prefer. Day of voting, we prefer it to be in person, and that's a Republican voter. That's sort of ingrained in a lot of Republican voters.

So we watched Kelly Stoffla. Staffler fail. Herschel Walker fail. Mayorkis win time after time and time. And you did not surprise you.

But is there anything about Nothing to put them down, just so you know where the election was heading and how they were approaching it and how much money was put where. Is there anything about the way this is coming together with Trump on top? Yeah, a little bit. 2020 was such a disaster with a lot of things. And Loeffler and Purdue both, I think, got caught in that.

And then Walker, that was a whole different dynamic. What we're seeing right now, though, is I see a turnout in Georgia. The issues have been more in Georgia. We've been more front and center with immigration. And I think that's been something we have, the Lake and Riley.

Just this past week, 20 miles north of my house, we had another person who was killed by an illegal immigrant. This is happening in Georgia regularly. People are seeing it. And then when you throw that on top of inflation in the economy, I mean, our farmers. I mean, Georgia is one of the largest agricultural states in the country.

Diesel cost of prices and the lack of disasters coming through, they know what they're seeing.

So here's what Brad Raffensberger, who's in charge of the Secretary of State of Georgia, said to us a couple of days ago. In the next few days, you may see some extra drama from Fringe Activist. They are certainly dramatic, aren't they? Whatever they say or do, we know this to be true. Here in Georgia, It is easy to vote and hard to cheat.

So he basically said this is a very similar thing, but for those people who said this is Jim Crow 2.0, to have this type of turnout in 2022, and then again, I mean, do people owe Georgia an apology? Yes. Very much so. The and Brian Kemp and Raffensberger.

Well, it was Kemp in the legislature who did the SB 201, which they, and again, and I want to go back to something else. Sid ID, correct? It is. Well, no, it was taking our. Here's an example: Brad Raffensberger sent out an absentee ballot request to every registered voter in the state of Georgia in 2020.

We'd never done that before. And there were a lot of issues with those coming back, how they came back, the signature verification. Were you voting twice when you said that? Yeah, it was just a lot of problems. In 2022, after they passed that bill that got called Jim Crow 2.0, you have to have a valid voto ID to get an absentee ballot.

You have to have photo ID. Our numbers got back into normal persuasion. Our absentee ballots are back at roughly a little better than 2016 level.

So we're back to normal there. And I think that's been a big pitch for this. But everybody's had a chance. And then you see the heavy turnout in early voting. Nobody has.

Brian, we passed photo ID in Georgia years ago, and the first thing they said was it would have depressed turnout among minorities and senior adults. Guess what? Every one of those groups has went up. Uh Doug Collins, you can't get anywhere. In life.

without an ID. You can't get into a club. You can't get into a plane. It's not a matter of wealth. And there's also just ID.

If you don't want to have a driver's license, you can fail your test, have the license taken away. Why are you insulting minorities like that? And most Americans want it because they don't want their vote counted discounted. Yeah, I've never said I've never understood why the Democratic Party continues to call their main voting bloc. That they're basically they're just calling stupid.

Look, my daughter has spinal biffed up. My daughter has never really driven. She did a long time ago, but she doesn't drive. She has an ID card. That's how, I mean, everybody does.

Everybody understands this except the ones.

So, if you're against it, Brian, my question is: why are you against it? Because all the numbers show that's not true what you're saying.

So, after we get your bogus arguments off the table, then why are you really doing it? The only thing I can say is you undoubtedly have a nefarious reason for not wanting the photo ID. That's the only thing I can say. Absolutely. And by the way, in New York, they will actually shield their face if you go to show them your license.

They're not allowed to look at it. Think about that. That's it. Right.

So they walk in and they say your name, I spell it, and they say, they turn it around and they go, is this your address? I say yes. And they turn it back. That's white, then that means it's me. Here's what Kamala Harris said.

She pledges to do. And tell me if this is a good unifying finish if she gets the job, cut seventeen.

So America, I am asking for your vote. And here is my pledge to you. As President I pledge to seek common ground. and common sense solutions to the challenges you face. I am not looking to score political points.

I am looking to make progress. And I pledge to listen. To those who will be impacted by the decisions I make.

So, do you believe her? No. And I have a reason not to believe her. This is not a person who is new to the political scene. This is the three and a half, almost four year Vice President of the United States.

You're going to listen to the decisions that affect me? Then, where have you been listening on the border for the last three and a half years when you've allowed everybody in the world to come across our border, terrorists, criminals, everybody else, and you've allowed American citizens to die at their hands almost on a daily basis? Do not hand me this that you've listened to the American people. Don't hand me that you've listened to them on Bidenomics that you proudly proclaimed less than 60 days ago was a good thing. And now you realize that the American people are actually paying these higher prices.

You may not be paying them, but they are. And you said you've listened to them. No, that's a bogus argument. They've switched so much in the last 10 days. They went from the Hitler comments to now we're back to being the female Obama.

It's ridiculous. 107 days to get this nomination, and you have a president doing this for eight straight years. You could not have more of a contrast. You know what I think is going to be front and center eventually, maybe a week when we get this answer? How many people covered up for bro Joe Biden's cognitive problems?

And what, how will we suffer in the interim? And then who is making those decisions, if not? I mean, they went almost two years without a cabinet meeting. I mean, that's how do you run a country like this?

Well, you run it the way the Democrats want to run it, and that is by bureaucracy. She knew it. Oh, yeah, she knew it completely. And if you ever watch the answer, and you know, with kids, those of us who've raised kids, when she got that question just a couple of weeks ago, when she asked the question, you know, when did you notice first? Immediately, I'm looking you right in the eye right now.

They may not see it on radio, but they can see it. And she went, Her eyes shifted right. She answered the entire question, not looking at the interviewer. That's a classic sign. I'm lying.

I mean, look, I think there's going to be several things come out in the history books here. I think that are going to come in those modern contemporary histories that get written in the next two years. Number one, Donald Trump, I think, is going to win. Number two, I think the economic speech that she gave at the end of August that she was pressured into giving because nobody knew who she was, that was so bad and so widely panned with the substantively is going to go to a mark in which Democrats said, We're concerned here. And also Americans started saying, Who wrote it?

And why did you sign off on it? Why did you go with it? And unions, if you notice, Brian, that was when the unions all of a sudden you started seeing the squirminess in the unions because that economic plan was terrible for them. And I think the other thing unrealized. Oh my God.

Why do you do that? I mean, we don't. The last thing is, I think when you look at it, is the part that Joe Biden has played in the last two weeks to undermine the Harris campaign. I think it's real. You think it's intentional?

I do. I mean, one time, no. Two times, maybe. But they actually have a person in the White House that's supposed to coordinate this. When he goes out, she tries to pick a fight with Ron DeSantis in Florida, which was stupid to start with.

And then he goes on and said, no, Ron's been working with me. He's calling her. I mean, he just undercut it completely within 24 hours. Then he goes on later to say she's giving the ellipse speech, her quote, closing speech on the ellipse with the White House in the background. And he's over on a podcast saying, oh, the Americans are garbage.

Their supporters are garbage. I mean, and then they had another one where he did it again, every time that she was giving a speech, he was doing something. And look, one or two times, maybe, not three or four.

Well, I also could part of a slippage. What he did last time, a couple of days ago, when he said, Yeah, he gives tax clips to billionaires and then quickly said, Man, in my neighborhood, something inaudible, I'd like to just slap him in the blank. Where did that come from? You were talking about tax cuts. In six seconds, you start talking about hitting somebody.

Here's the scary part. And Donald Trump, I was at the rally the other day, and I've talked to him before. The scary, and he's bringing Donald Trump's bringing this out. He's scared for the next three months or next two and a half months. He should be.

I mean, because it's like, what are they going to try and do? And especially, you know, he's going to be coming in. I firmly believe that. And we'll be here tomorrow talking about it. But the issue is, is.

Who is running the country? And the question was asked, and it's a legitimate question. Who are the people calling? The world leaders are not, world leaders calling Donald Trump right now. That's what we're seeing.

We're seeing behind the scenes a lot of the business people that are, quote, been making back channels to Trump. He just brings up, and I got to let you go after this. Are you doing outnumbered? Not a fact.

Okay.

So. Those security briefings that candidates should be getting. Up until last month, Trump was not getting them. Right.

Don't you think that's dangerous? It is a little bit, but it's also one of those things, too. I think where Trump's also, I've heard some varying reports on how much he was actually warning them because what he's had so many times is getting stuff that they were this administration, I would not put it past them to say he's getting there. And when things happen, that they try to blame them for leaking.

So he's more worried about the leaking. I'll catch up to this. Yeah, yeah, he'll catch up. And he was pretty bored with the security briefings by all accounts, right? Yeah, well, I mean, again, he's like the same thing every day.

Yeah, it's like the same thing.

Well, and also, I think they also downplay the fact that he goes through and reads stuff and as quickly processes and moves on. And I think that's one of the things. But yeah, I think I am proud of the professional campaign that they've run. I think that they've run it well. He's kept on message as much as Donald Trump as he plays it out.

And in these last few days, there's a huge difference between Donald Trump's energy. And Vice President Harris, who had to talk to a couple last night, said, Oh, I'm going to knock on your door now and tell them back in, give me a break. The Collins, thanks so much. Look forward to your insight. And you're feeling right now, Georgia is Trump's, but not for sure.

No, I think Georgia is for Trump. It's for sure. I think Georgia's for Trump.

Well, that'll be at the healing of the Kemp. Kemp will be in a good stead should he want to run for president after.

So this makes sense for everybody should that happen. Doug Collins, thanks so much. Back in a moment with your calls. What's your voting experience like? Good or bad?

Tell me what it was like. Don't move. Expanding your knowledge base. It's the Brian Kill Meet Show. Uh The more you listen, the more you'll know.

It's Brian Killmead. The Pennsylvania numbers, when they come out today, if she's below 400,000 vote lead, Compared to Biden's lead in 2020, it's going to be problematic for her. What is the biggest indication that we've seen that the early vote is a problem for her? It's Jim Messina talking to Bensaki. Jim Messina, if you go watch his cable TV appearances, he has been first for Biden and then for Harris, the most boosterish.

person about them. It just rose colored everything that's going on with Biden and Harris. It's fantastic. Mark Halperin, really insightful, got great sources, and he's right. In fact, we have that soundbite.

See if you agree with Mark Halperin.

Okay, what's their biggest concern right now if you're the Harris team?

Well, look, I think it's a couple things. The early vote numbers are a little scary, and you and I have been texting back and forth. Republicans didn't do what they did last time. Last time Trump said don't early vote, and so they didn't. Republicans do have an advantage in early vote numbers.

When the early vote come in, it's going to look a little bit different than 2020, and that's scary. That is what he's talking about. I think he's right. John, you listen on the Fox News Radio app. You voted a week ago, no problem.

Brian Hello? Yep. Where in California did you vote, John? Hi. Yeah, I vot I voted at uh uh remotely at a drop box.

I wanted to give give you an experience. My mom moved to Florida, so we had to do the registration process and everything. And uh Yeah. Very easy to do. No ID required, and so that worries me.

The other thing I want to say This, God forbid, 12 loses. I hope they give up on this law affair with them. Uh the while the welfare? A law affair? Yeah, well.

Let's see. I don't think they will, just uh the ruthlessness in which they approached it, that they started to begin with. Um uh and Jack Smith, the relentless way he approached it, even in the fall. From high atop Fox News headquarters in New York City, always seeking solutions, never sowing division. It's Brian Killmead.

We are behind in Pennsylvania, folks. We are behind. We're not where we're supposed to be in the early vote. When she says she's the underdog, she is the underdog. Donald Trump, there's no doubt, is in the best position he has ever been in.

He has to win more male votes than she's going to win female votes because there are more female voters. And Trump's doing slightly better among men than she is among women. The watchword of the day is humility here. When you have polls that are this close, you're not sure of anything. This race is filled with uncertainty today.

The momentum is on our side. Generations of Americans before us led the fight for freedom. And now The baton is in our hands. Joe and Kamala broke it, and I will fix it. I'll fix it fast.

And America will be bigger and better and stronger than ever before. It's going to be all of those things. I love the montage. Great job, guys. Kev McCarthy, the 50th Speaker of the House.

If you're smart enough to get Fox Nation, you see him. He said 12, 11, 6th Avenue, right in Midtown Manhattan for this big day. Mr. Speaker, the first cut was Van Jones.

So we're losing in Pennsylvania. And I watched it last night. And I know when people, in my humble opinion, I know when they're saying, we're losing, get out there, as opposed to, we're losing, get out there. Are they losing? From what you say?

Well, I'll tell you, if you compare it to four years ago. On early votes, Democrats walked in with a million vote advantage. Right now, they only have a 400,000. Because on Election Day, Republicans beat them. And the the person who's got a red mirage.

They're in Pittsburgh, so this is the Steelers. You're going in the fourth quarter and you're ahead.

Now are you going to put it away? And so that's the difference. Republicans are in a much stronger position than they were four years ago. The environment is better for Republicans if you look at the generic ballot. But this is a tight race, and it all comes down to Pennsylvania.

The reason why Kamala Harris was going Nazis, Hitler and all that. She was trying to gin her base up because they didn't have the motivation.

Now for the same thing, the Democrats will turn, but oh, but we got the gender gap.

Okay, they have an advantage there. But if you analyze her numbers, She's 1.6% behind where Biden was on the gender gap. In 2020. Yeah. She's ahead on the gender gap, but she's behind.

Republicans improved where they needed to on an early vote.

Now it all turns out to today. What worries you the most? It's election day, so I mean, we can usually really put your analyst hat on. Look, what I worry about, the Senate, I believe the Republicans have, okay? I think at a minimum they have 51.

I think they probably end up around 52.

Okay, out of justice, we know in West Virginia, we know Sheehy looks minus six points. Unless the polling's terrible. No, I think Sheehi wins. Then I would look to Ohio. But, you know, you're trying to beat an incumbent, Bernie Moreno.

But if Trump carries that by eight points or higher, it's pretty much a guarantee. Then you look to Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. I think our very best Senate cannon is Dave McCormick by far. You know what he's doing? He's got a challenge.

Everyone says that. They just. He is fabulous. But look, he's running against incumbent Casey. Casey has never done anything in the Senate, so he doesn't have this high unfavorable start with.

They all think he's the father. But if you watch... His father was governor. Yeah, if you watch Casey, he started running ads with Trump like he was hugging Trump. He's not crazy, which is a good sign.

Look, I felt better. Do you think any Republican ran anything with Biden? No, no, nobody. Even Kamala Harris doesn't run something with Biden. She told him to shut up.

Yeah, or Harris. I mean, for the most part, they go, you know, me and the vice president voted together on this, on what? We don't know. We don't know anything. But this is the biggest telling.

I always look when I if you want to look at a campaign early on, you think, start on election day and work backwards. What is in the voters' mind on election day? Because you're going to raise the money to try to provide it to the voters. She spent a billion dollars. Can you tell me the three things she will do if she's elected?

No. Let me see. What is she going to do? I'm going to really try to answer that. The child that the tax credit she is going to do, she is going to start building up the border with more border agents, she says.

I don't know. It should click like after a billion dollars. With Trump, you know, he thought, I'm going to build the wall. I'm going to secure the border. I'm going to bring down inflation.

I'm going to make America great again. And that goes into voters. What are you going to do? They still don't know enough about it. I never got the why.

So I'm not going to decriminalize border crossings. I'm not going to stop fracking. I am not for the new Green Deal. I'm not for getting rid of gas-powered cars. But she never messages and says, Why?

So then I am going to crack down on crime. I am going to crack down on the border, but why now? But okay. As a Californian, She totally lost me when she said she put in her ballot, but she wouldn't tell us how she was voting on proper 30 years. Let me show you this.

I was building up to that. This is how smart you are.

So there was going to be a crackdown on crime. It's going to be stop charging multiple recidivism for shoplifting, put them in jail, mandatory rehab for people who are drug abusers, really the opposite of defund the police.

So she voted on it. And when asked, are you for criminal justice reform? Essentially, here's what she said: cut 22. How did you vote on Prop 36?

So I have my ballot is on its way to California and I'm going to trust the system that it will arrive there. And I am not going to talk about the vote on that because honestly it's the Sunday before the election and I don't intend to Create an endorsement one way or another around it. As a Californian, I'm infuriated because she was the attorney general. And for your listeners to understand, when you're an attorney general, you are responsible for any ballot, you get to put the language. She put language that passed an initiative that allowed people in California to walk into your store and steal up to almost $1,000.

That's why the stores have collapsed. That's why your neighborhood markets are no longer there. This is overwhelmingly supported by it doesn't matter Republican or Democrat because you want a safe neighborhood, right? You just think it's a good idea. It's going to pass.

It's going to pass, but she can't take a position on it. But she wants to be the leader of the free world. She was the attorney general. She was the senator from California, but she doesn't want to take a position.

So you know the political world.

Sometimes you have gutty feelings, but I can't say it. Why would a political expert working with her not use this as an opportunity to show him tough on crime and maybe make Kevin McCarthy be able to say that's not the way she used to be like? This is another more proof that if I'm her, more proof that I've changed. Exactly. This is more proof that I've changed.

Look at what I'm voting for. Because it's an action. Like when she says, okay, I'm for fracking now, or I will secure the border now, there's no action. This is the moment that she could show she's going to take action, and she would not. The only reason why you say you did not vote for it is because you voted against it.

Right.

Good point.

So the other thing would be: do you know there's a pause on new LNG leases right now? Yes, there is. Demand to release that pause. I went up to Joe Biden today, and I told him, you have to release the pause. I went to Pennsylvania.

I realized how much it's hurting people. Isn't that action? Yes, but she won't because all what she says is just a false. She can't run on a record because she's so liberal, but she says, I'll be different. It's like she's worked for us.

She hasn't done the job we've asked, and now she wants a promotion, and she says, this time I promise, I'll do better.

Well th that doesn't work. Right.

So, Kim McCarthy's here. He's going to stick around. Just real quick before we leave this segment. Yesterday, two things happened that were unscripted that I knew of. Roberto Camente Jr., a Puerto Rican, with fat dad, really opened the gates for Central and South Americans and Spanish to come into Major League Baseball, still lauded today, comes out in Pittsburgh for the former president.

That's unbelievable. And then Joe Rogan, right at the talking, Joe Rogan made the announcement on his podcast: I am endorsing Robert Robert. I know it's a shot in the arm for the former president doing four events in one day and finishing up at two in the morning. What does Kevin McCarthy think when he hears that? I love it.

It builds you momentum towards the end. And because of what happened at the Madison Square Garden by a comedian, which wasn't what Trump would say or support, to have Robert Clemente, you know his father, and tragically how he died, but the work that he was doing to come forward. And then Rogan has such a following. And remember, Rogan is not a partisan. This is a guy who supported Bernie Sanders.

This is a guy who is hard on Republicans. He leans probably more Democrat, but physical. And he watched it by really just being the reporter in himself, right? And she wouldn't even come on his podcast. He opened it up either.

And I think it shows a difference when people want to get something done in America and they show what the strength would be under President Trump. But, Mr. Speaker, isn't it amazing when you sit down and she whispered to Governor Whitmer, I'm having problems with men. Remember, I caught on a hot mic moment.

So she whispers it. And yet the mal the person that can deliver the male audience is Joe Rogan, who said, I don't want to interview you. I just want to have a conversation with you. Why wouldn't you inoculate him? Why wouldn't you go?

He probably maybe wouldn't endorse in the end unless he would have. But this is the example all the time before. She didn't want to go before the voters. I know, Smith. I literally think.

If somebody's running for city council, They've been held accountable more by their local press than she has, and she's trying to be the president of the United States. And even think: how did she get there? She didn't campaign through a primary, nobody voted for her.

So, how do we even know where she stands? 107 days. I would, if you took that position where it was handed to you like that, I would have been overwhelming with the press. What do you got to ask me? Because you size up candidates.

You did it. That's how the House became Republican. You just I got to get some talent. Yep. Sometimes you have people that are all substance who aren't good campaigners.

You try to keep them away from those unscripted moments. Yes. The people that know her best. Say, I know the upside, but the downside's too great, which should scare everyone if she wins. Don't move, Brian, kill me, Cho.

It's Brian Kilmeade. If you're interested in it, Brian's talking about it. You're with Brian Kilmead. We are watching these. accusations on the ground.

It's very concerning. because it tells me that we're going to have the same disruption that we had in 2020. An election that was clearly decided, it was a winner. and and a loser, and I'm praying that we don't have the same thing this time. but you can already see it, and I'm watching social media very carefully, And so far, it doesn't appear like any of these are grounded in any kind of fact.

But we know that there will be attempts at interference. And it's just a real tragedy that here is the greatest country on the face of the earth with the greatest electoral system and the strongest democracy, and it seems to be going through this with a second election in a row. Frank Glunt's worried about it. He's a patriot, whatever you think of him. Kev McCarthy, you know him well.

Are you worried like he's worried? About people denying election results? Or are you worried about people like states like Arizona still screwing things up?

Well, I'm worried that, you know, when states make a mistake, they should correct themselves. Georgia corrected themselves, especially on the elections and everything else. Maricopa County has not. You know, and it's a real problem.

So it leaves doubt in people's minds. You don't want that. Look, what I really hope whoever wins Electoral College also wins the popular vote as well. And that when the election's over, the election is over and people now have to govern. And, you know, there's a challenge here that you have 40% of Kamala's voters aren't voting for Kamala.

They just want to go vote against Trump. I want to have a presidential election. Or we're voting on ideas, and this is why. It's a disservice to the people who run if you drive your voters to vote against somebody. You'll win an election, but you won't be able to govern.

I mean, think for a moment. If President Trump wins, the Republicans win the Senate, but the Democrats win the House. They're already talking about impeaching him. I know. What do you think?

Jamie Raskin. Why is that? That's not helpful to America. Right? If you believe in the law, then uphold the law.

He hasn't done anything. And then you're just going to waste the next two years. We've got too much going on. The world's too competitive. This country is too great for such small ideas.

So I fundamentally believe fight as hard as you can during the campaign. But when the campaign is over, let's govern and govern in the philosophy that you believe.

So let me ask you this: Joe Lieberman, Dick Cheney, they had a conversation. J.D. Vance and Governor Waltz, they actually had a conversation. They were saying, well, that's a good point. I never thought of it like that.

They actually said that to each other. Stakes were really high. The leather one was. I thought that was a very good debate. Do you think that's the future, or is it an idea?

I do. I do. I think America is hungry for that. They want to believe in someone who is genuine, so you want to be genuine. They'll respect you and even support you if they don't always agree, but you have a principle why the position you're at.

They want you to make your case without demeaning the other person. Respect the other person's opinion so the other person respects your opinion. And I think what's going to happen in a short time, because pendulums swing, the person that can come in and take the extremes on both sides that are just so far out there, they don't have principles. We don't have two parties anymore. We have two or three parties in each party.

I think that person, he or she, is going to be. a national leader. And it's really going to generate something much bigger. Because the thing is, we have two huge problems. I think our enemies are combining against us.

And we our allies are not strong. Uh militarily. And number two is we had a deficit. That has to be addressed. It can't be massive.

It can't be a scalpel. He's got to get it going in the right direction. It's impossible to do that without massive social spending. Yes. Look, I lost my job because I stood up to the deficit.

The largest cut ever was the $2 trillion in the debt ceiling. And other people would go lie about, you know, oh, I don't want to vote for something. Every great society has collapsed where they overextended themselves. And you can't ignore it. You know, Einstein said there's only one miracle in this world, the time value of money, the compounding of interest.

Well, the compounding of debt is exactly the same thing. You are exactly right when you study history. This is 1938. We now have an axis of evil that has bound together, that's literally now sending troops with Russia into Ukraine, okay? And then you have the leader in America.

You can't have an isolationist view of where you're going. You can be America first, just as Ronald Reagan was, but you need to lead. And there's a reason why when America leads, the world is safer. If President Trump gets elected, the Middle East will calm down because they'll see leadership. But we weren't, as you know, we were not the leader of the world in 1938.

No. We had to be woken up. And the country did not want any part of that war. When it started, repeat. The mistakes of the past.

That's why you study history. And, you know, Graham Allison and Henry Kissinger, before he died, wrote this article. They start with three numbers: 79, 79, and 9. It's been 79 years since we had a great war. It's actually a long time if you study history between World War I and World War II.

It's been. It's 79 years since any country has used a nuclear or atomic weapon. There are nine countries with that capability. But if Iran is allowed to get a nuclear weapon, there'll be forty countries. If we were in the nineteen sixties then during the Cuban Missile Crisis, you would have projected that there would be forty, fifty countries now.

Well, that's harder to control, right?

So there's a reason why America needs to lead. You can't ignore what's happening in the rest of the places of the world. And you just came out of COVID. When something like COVID only happens once a century, and when that happens, because it's so life-changing, normally leaders in democracy lose, and authoritarians stay. I'm wearing the Republican Party.

Uh because I believe that we are seeing Russia Try just are trying to outlast using a thousand people sometimes a day, outlast Ukraine. I'm watching Moldova's elections be corrupted, and I'm watching Georgia's elections be corrupted.

So one's invaded, the other is infiltrated, the other one is just flat-out hacked.

So you're seeing the slow-moving reconsolidation of the Soviet Empire, and we want to look the other way. This is exactly what Putin wants. If you study Putin and you study Hitler, they're the exact same moves. They both ran for office in a domestic. He loves looking at their history and making up things that happened in the past about from their great Russia, their great Germany.

Yeah, he wants culprit. And when he invaded Ukraine, it was the 100th anniversary of the creation of the Soviet Union that year. There is a reason why he takes these actions, but there's also a reason why the only presidency that he did not take an action in was under Trump. That's why you can't show weakness.

So what do you think President Trump understands, staying out of war, but at the same time, you can't look away from this? Exactly. Look, do you think he understands that? Having strength keeps you out of war. It's fundamental.

When you saw weakness, when you saw what Biden did in Afghanistan, it welcomed Ukraine. When you watched Biden withhold the weapons from Ukraine on actually what you can use them for, okay, you can only send a missile 40 miles. Still.

So Russia goes to 41 miles away. And they asked the North Koreans to fight. But you missed one point. What? The report that just came out where Russia tried to put bombs on planes heading to America.

That was now. Yeah, that's a real threat. That's a real threat. That's not somebody else's problem. No.

But what happens is when it becomes our problem, they say, what were you thinking? You can't have it both ways. Get McCarthy. Radio that makes you think. This is the Brian Kill Me Show.

Oh, it's good to be back in the city of brotherly love. Where the foundation of our democracy was forged. And here at these famous steps. A tribute to those who start as the underdog. and climb to victory.

Does she even know how many Rockies there are? I mean, I should be the one signing off of any candidate. Deserves those steps. I mean, it's simply the Bible, how to live your life.

Somebody who understands all this. Is our next guest. She is Jackie Heinrich, fueling up for tonight's big election coverage as we start getting some results in. On the road with Kamala Harris, a lot, the vice president.

So, Jackie, great job, of course, throughout the whole cycle. You thought you'd be covering the president. You're covering the vice president. How's it been out on the stump closing out? It looks like the crowds have been big.

You know The last 107 days have really been a wild ride. The crowds were pretty big. I think I was most surprised last night at how late everyone stayed out there because she She didn't go on until after 11. I mean, I didn't leave that site until almost. 1230.

And that was the latest rally that she's held this cycle. She had five events yesterday in Pennsylvania, really a sign that they cannot afford to lose that state because their map becomes much more complicated. And um She was not going to waste a minute left on the clock. And people waited out there for her. There were thousands of people.

The campaign number is 30,000. I mean, we will hear from police or fire marshal or some other authority.

Some of these venues that they go to, it's hard to tell where they're counting from. But they're claiming 30,000. I believe. And you would probably know this better than I would, Brian, but I think that was also Hillary Clinton's closing number in 2016.

So do you read it into the numbers? I don't know. But at the end of the day, their operation is still really going strong today because they're trying to get out the vote. There is much more of an effort this year to push same day, like Election Day in-person voting, because they're seeing a mode shift, really, I think, among Republicans who came out to vote early, that was not something they had to deal with in 2020. And the early voting numbers look a little bit different than they expected or different than they have seen in the past.

So big push today from the Harris campaign to get people out to the polls. Jackie, a couple of things. I've never seen more celebrities in any campaign. And if they are successful, this will continue. If they are not, I think it stops.

I mean, from Julia Roberts to Bon Jovi to Lady Gaga to Oprah Winfrey. I mean, these are the biggest names in Hollywood, New York. What does it do for the crowd size? What does it do for the whole event?

Well, I'll tell you, in Houston at the Beyonce concert that wasn't, it didn't do much for them. I don't know anyone who shows up to see Beyonce speak. You know, that said, I think it drives viewers where they were are trying to get them. And that's in these online spaces. That's the whole reason that the vice president and even President Biden and the campaign that they both have had, because these are all the same people that were running his operation that she inherited, have really prioritized interviews with influencers because they think that their constituency is getting their information off of their phones and it's happening in, you know, 10-second clips on TikTok.

And so that's where they're trying to just, you know, put their resources.

So one thing that changed over the last couple of days, they would not mention the name Trump. Prior to that, he was Hitler, he was a fascist, he was going to destroy the voting process. Dana, before I have you weigh in, this is Dana Prino's analysis on the five cut eighteen. How do you know she stopped saying his name? Because her staff made sure to tell all the reporters to make sure you notice that she stopped saying his name.

What did that follow?

Well, Future Forward, the PAC that is supporting her, is not allowed to directly communicate with her. And they were sending smoke signals through the New York Times that their direction of going after Trump all the time and calling him a fascist was not working. And the Kamala Harris people would send back through the New York Times reporter, We think it is working. I'm telling you, it's not working. And they're telling us through the newspaper.

And then all of a sudden, they say, oh, now she's not talking about him anymore and she wants to end positively. This is not something she decided. This is something that they finally realized that Future Forward was correct.

So your thoughts about you're in the middle of that process. What do you think? Well I'll tell you I noticed it early on gosh, what day is it? Today is Tuesday. It's going to be early on Sunday.

They're all blending together, Brian. Forgive me. But I'm in, you know, I was in Milwaukee, and we get used to hearing the same lines from her. When you go to every single rally, you hear every single stump speech, and you hear, you know, you kind of are attuned to subtle changes. And it did stand out to me that we didn't hear her mention his name.

Now, it was a Sunday. Her first event was at a church.

So I, you know, wondered if she would hold that sort of formula through the afternoon and through the evening. And at her rally, when she didn't mention Trump at all, I was like, okay, something's shifting here.

So I asked the campaign, because it continued all day yesterday, I asked her in the morning, you know, is this going to hold? Is she going to keep doing this? Is this, you know, the final formula is just not to mention him? And they said, yeah, the formula now is to close positively. Sure, it absolutely could be that they received the guidance from Future Forward and started to agree that this message was not resonating.

And that is maybe too late for them to embrace some of that because At the end of the day, they have shaped her campaign entirely around a comparison. When you talk about the fascism stuff, the threats to democracy stuff, you're animating voters who are already in your corner. And that might work if you want to drive out the base, but it doesn't work if you need to pull people over to your side. And I think it might end up being too late of a shift because you also saw her go out to rural parts of Pennsylvania that she hadn't been yesterday, Scranton, Pittsburgh. These are places that Joe Biden was crisscrossing.

You know, multiple times in 2020. He went into Florida, Ohio, and Iowa in the final two weeks of the 2020 election. His map was totally different than Harris's. Granted, she's targeting a totally different constituency than Biden was: more voters of color, young voters. He's going after seniors, Catholics, union workers, laborers, blue-collar workers in rural, swingy parts of the country.

But when you lose one constituency, how much do you gain for the other? We'll see uh how it works out. How much are they on top of Trump's rallies? Because I know they always say and he's talking about women, I'm going to tell women to do this and mischaracterize Liz Cheney should be shot. That was not what he said, and even Bill Maher pointed that out.

But do you notice as a quick reaction for us to put that into her speeches over the last few weeks? 100%. Yeah. I mean, they've obviously got people watching not just what he says, but also what people put out on social media around him. And they are very quick to you know, added into sort of the list of things that Harris et al.

will rattle off when asked about the comparison. Because this has been, again, like the Base ingredient of her campaign is just look at how terrible Trump is. Can you imagine another four years of this? That has been the formula, so much so that she hasn't even had to answer questions about her own positions on policies that she would carry out if she were elected.

So every time that he hands her something new, they use it. I don't think it always works because at the end of the day, you've got your voters who've made up their minds on either side. And people who haven't made up their minds aren't. paying attention to That stuff. If they were, they would already be supporting her.

But they're not talking about the economy, immigration, these top voter concerns in a way that is very specific. And you consistently see reporting that shows that Harris's refusal to get into the guts of her policies might end up being. The Achilles heel of her campaign.

So th this Prop Thirty Six, I just think it's so frustrating because you don't know where she stands in almost anything. And then they have finally an answer to stand up to the l uh To the pro-criminal attitude we've had in this country really since 2020.

So there's a Prop 36 in California putting an end to the smash and grab, mandatory rehab for multiple offenders and everything like that when it comes to drug abuse. And she has a chance to show that she's now going to be strong on crime. And yet, this is what she says, CUD 21. How did you vote on Prop 36?

So I have, my ballot is on its way to California, and I'm going to trust the system that it will arrive there. And I am not going to talk about the vote on that because, honestly, it's the Sunday before the election, and I don't intend to. Create an endorsement one way or another around it.

So, but I did vote. Why? Isn't she a politician, wants to be president? If she wants California to be anti-criminal, to increase penalties and allow felony charges for certain crimes, wouldn't why not say it? What is your reaction?

I was, you know, surprised a little bit, but then again, not at all, because she has not wanted to stake out many positions on controversial issues. This, I should note, you know, she is a former prosecutor, so her opinion should weigh heavily. It should matter. It would help to sort of stake out, she really is this more moderate version of her former self. That's a great opportunity for her to own that and not just embrace some of the things that Joe Biden was and like take on that personality that wasn't yours to begin with.

But she's punted on this question not just the Sunday before the election, but for several weeks.

So that whole, you know, timeline is a little bit of nonsense to me. Jackie Heinrich, you're the best. Thanks so much. Now, the Brian Kilmead Show joins Fox Business's Varney and Company with Stuart Varney live on your radio and on Fox Business. Here's Brian Kilmead.

You know, it's got to be a Tuesday, Election Tuesday. I'm going to go on with Stuart in a matter of moments. We're going to talk about an interview I had earlier. Whoopi Goldberg wants Liz Cheney as part of a Harris administration. Will there be one?

We're discussing it, and I'll be able to squeeze in some calls right after this.

So feel free to get on board if you want to write me, BrianKilmead.com. That's also, by the way, to get tickets for February 15th, History, Liberty, and Laughs. I'm in Jacksonville, Florida at the Florida Theater. Got a huge theater to fill up, so make sure you're part of it.

So let's listen in. Because some investors think that we're looking towards divided government. That sometimes helps Wall Street. And here's DJT, a proxy for Trump support, up sharply right now. 1051.

Kilmead joins us this morning. Hey, Brian, you had a confrontation with Transportation Secretary Buddhajudge this morning. Here's just a brief outline. Here's what he had to say about Trump's tax policy. We know the fundamentals of the differences in economic vision.

He's going to do tax cuts for the rich, and he's going to do this import tax, this tariff, that will add $4,000 for a typical family. He's not looking to do a tax cut for the rich. He's looking to continue the current tax. Oh, of course he is. No, the people that benefited most from tax reform of 2018 were the middle class.

Most of that benefit proportionally went to the wealthy. And let's be clear: of the economic promises that he made, he broke most of them. He broke his promise to do 6% economic growth. He broke his promise to do an infrastructure bill. Uh Brian, well done, Brian.

It really annoys me that they keep coming back to this. Trump's tax cuts only benefit the rich. That is utter nonsense. And I'm glad you took him to town on it.

Well the thing is Stuart because people accept it because he's rich. They just assume that he goes for his billionaire friends. Last time, everybody, everything has changed. Talk to any pollster. Republicans are no longer, if they were ever, the party of the rich.

Everything switched. The blue-collar people, the Pittsburgh car automakers sitting behind him last night, the steel workers, I should say, that's the party of Donald Trump. And the reason, after seeing him for four years, they're following him is not because those billionaires on blocks they're not allowed to go drive on, on driveways they can't get through the gates to get to, are benefiting. The corporate tax rate. It was reduced to make America more competitive with other countries, not to make JPMorgan pay less rent or give their CEO more revenue.

It is to allow them to grow and be competitive and ultimately to bring businesses home, which stopped sadly because of the pandemic, but would reignite again and would be thwarted if it goes from 20, it went from 35 to 21.

So she wants to bring it up to 28. You know better than me, and so does everyone on your channel, what that would do for business. Why would we go to the worst when we're just in the upper third right now? What they're ignoring with Trump tax cuts is that everybody got a tax cut. And the money that that pushed into the economy stimulated extraordinary growth, which benefited everybody, minorities especially.

They never point that out. Drives me up the wall, Brian. You know, the other thing is the thing is, Stuart, the people that lived it don't need us to say it. They don't need the mayor of South Bend to tell them what happened. They lived it.

They know the average car is now $47,000 a new car. It was $40,000. They know everything they pay for is 20% more. The debate I thought was going to be about why. And then you want to see who's to blame and point the fingers and what you're going to do.

But you can't deny that everything is more. You can't deny that a mandate is pushing people into cars, electric cars, and making it harder to build combustion engines. You can't combine that dealerships are being forced to sell these electric Jeeps that nobody wants, the 4x4s that no one buys, the Ford Lightning, the pickup truck is now stopped production. No matter how much money you give people, they don't want it yet, and they want to make their own decisions. If that's your decision, great.

But don't put your hand on the scale and not expect auto workers to be angry at you. And you can't ignore the cost of the Green New Deal. She's still going to spend, if she's elected, she's still going to spend another trillion dollars on the Green New Deal. That's wasted money. They never point that out.

But you know what's worse? It's called the Inflation Reduction Act. At least have the guts to name it with AOC did. They did it and then laughed when we said, you know, it really doesn't reduce inflation. Really?

You know who signed on to that? That was the vice president who had the deciding vote on that. And you know, she's taking credit now for the additional leases, oil leases for that. Do you know who put that in to get his vote? Joe Manchin.

Because that's where oil and gas went.

Now she says, Well, I made sure of that. You did not. Don't rewrite history, just tell us who you are. And let us vote. Don't tell us who you think we want you to be, because if you get the job, we have no idea what to expect.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much for that, Brian. We needed that pointed out. Kill meet, he's all right.

Thanks very much indeed. Thanks, Stuart. Crazy. That was happening at 6.15 in the morning with Pete Buduce. I was more than happy to talk about how to win Michigan, but he just came out firing, and I just can't sit there even though I only have five minutes You don't want to be rude.

And the reason why I called him Mayor Pete for the record, I'm not allowed to call him Secretary because he's not acting his official capacity as a bad transportation secretary. He's acting his capacity as a bad former mayor.

So I had to call him Mayor Pete or Pete.

So I wasn't being disrespectful. Ken in Pennsylvania. Hey, Ken. Ken, what did you discover when you went to vote today? I went in.

They told us we either had to come back later and vote, or we had to vote and place our ballots in the box. What? Where? And when I got when I got there, Cambria County, which is a a critical county for PA. When I got to work, other guys devoted said the same thing.

our local NBC affiliate is the only one that's reporting it. It's apparently countywide.

So let me ask you, Ken, it's my bad. I can't break down Pennsylvania like you, Ken. Is it moli a red or a blue or a purple area? Uh uh purple. Wow.

So impactful. Yes. Well, I mean, you know, they they assured us of the integrity of the system, and we go in this morning and the whole county's down. You know, I was getting emails about it and we were pursuing because the last thing I want to do is just say something on the air about it. But I was getting emails about it when I sent it over to our control room.

They said, I know, we're chasing this down. But you're Ken, you're telling me that it happened. And how many people you think it affected?

Well, WJAC just confirmed, they said the county board of elections said there's a software problem Uh the court order extended voting. But uh the whole system the whole system's down for the county, right? And the judge was late in.

Okay.

Thanks so much, Ken. This is what we want to find out. From the Fox News Radio Studios in Midtown Manhattan, it's the fastest growing radio talk show. Brian. In Kill Mead.

We are behind in Pennsylvania, folks. We are behind. We're not where we're supposed to be in the early vote. When she says she's the underdog, she is the underdog. Donald Trump, there's no doubt, is in the best position he has ever been in.

He has to win more male votes than she's going to win female votes because there are more female voters. And Trump's doing slightly better among men than she is among women. The watchword of the day is humility here. When you have polls that are this close, you're not sure of anything. This race is filled with uncertainty today.

The momentum is on our side. Generations of Americans before us led the fight for freedom. And now The baton is in our hands. Joe and Kamala broke it, and I will fix it. I'll fix it fast.

And America will be bigger and better and stronger than ever before. It's going to be all right. And there you go. I just want to give you a sense. Our great staff here, Eric Allison and Pete, put together a great open.

There's really no big three. There's really a big one. There's just one major story. Britt Hume right in studio.

Now I know it's real.

Now I know it's Election Day. He's Fox's senior political analyst, created a special report. And Craig Gowdy at the bottom of the hour. Of course, everybody's taught, and he'll be part of our election coverage. Britt, great to see you.

You too, Brian, as always. I know. Now I feel it's real when I say when you walked in, out of the three times Trump has won. How do you feel about this? If you're the Trump team, should you feel better about this than the other two?

I would think so. I think he would they would feel better, but certainly better than they did in Uh 2020, and better I think than they would feel about the results that they got we got in midterms in 2018 and 2022. You mentioned that three times Trump has won, that counts being nominated. But he was only elected once. And he was and he was of course the candidate in 2020 and a major factor in 2018 and 2022.

So he's on kind of a looked at in that light, Brian. He's on a losing streak. And I'm sure they feel better about this election than they did about those last three counting the midterms. When you look at what he went to the table overall, Brett, in the big scope, the issues that he ran on in 2016 are more ripe today than they were even in 2016. Academic crime and being strong overseas, trying to stay out of wars, okay, fine.

But the border, especially, when he said in 2019, after he got elected, he said, We need to get rid of sanctuary cities. Huge blowback. You don't have a heart. You don't care about illegal immigrants. We're a nation of immigrants.

Now, good luck with that. You don't like the sanctuary city? How's Chicago going? How's New York going? How's Philadelphia going?

Los Angeles, San Francisco. Most of these people say, We can't afford this. How do we stop this? You know, I have thought, Brian, for some time that the issues that have been brought to the forefront. In the first two years of this Biden presidency, We're like a time-bomb.

And because Afghanistan and all that it implied. Uh the border. the wild, reckless spending that triggered the inflation that everybody feels, whether they can afford it or not, everybody feels it. Nobody likes it. And even with economic growth, you can't get a good number on the economy if you got a wave of inflation still in effect.

It may have slowed, but it's still going. You put those three issues together. The economy, Afghanistan, the first two years, I thought this time bomb will go off in one of these elections. It didn't go off in 2022.

So the question is. Will it go off now? Will it go off in the results today? Or will we have, because of the Trump factor, another election which the day of reckoning on those issues is postponed?

Now think about this. Last summer, they spent $40 million, did the Biden team. Selling us on biotinomics. And at the end, they lost ground in terms of approval rating. They were trying to say, Vice President, President, things are going great.

They didn't understand that they're the average person. They weren't. That's a detachment. I know, and I think about inflation. Inflation is one of those issues that you can't get around it.

You can't You can't, if you've got a wave of inflation, everybody feels it. People who can afford it feel it. And a lot of people can't afford it.

So you get a growth and you get jobs and you get all that, and that's all going well, and we're all for that. That's a real That's real thing. But it doesn't surmount. the fact that people are feeling um um Poorer. And less able to afford the daily things that they need than they did when Biden started.

That's huge. I jotted down a few things. A new car today, $47,000. In 2021, it was $40,000. Real average hourly earnings rose 7.3%.

That was during Trump's term. Real average hourly earnings during Biden's term, 1%. Prices increased by 7.7% during Trump's four years in office. Heard of Joe Biden's increase 20%. During his years in office.

So, I mean, over and over again, the numbers don't lie, let alone the border, the security, the FBI watch list, everything they said about building the wall. Do you remember the four-letter word was building the wall? Yeah. Right? Now, you're like, okay, it probably works.

You know, citing those numbers. Brian is illuminating.

So the question arises, with those numbers And all that we know about how people f now feel about uh illegal immigration and the wave of it that's happened. and the other issues that have been that have been brought to the fore, you know, um Biological males in the women's locker rooms and bathrooms and all that, and I'm playing against them on teams. You add all that up, and you think, how can this be a close election? But it seems to be. And the answer is very simple.

There is a c a key factor. In ever since 2016, 2018, 2020, 2022 has been people's reluctance and and and and a hesitation to vote for Trump. And that's the deciding factor. And if it's the deciding factor again, she'll win. But I will bring this.

Do you know that every they're not running on it? They're running on being strong on the border. They're running on tax cuts, right? They're running on a Republican agenda. They're running on things they've never done.

Isn't that an odd? Oh, that's that's bizarre and and it should point. Two A a Republican win? Across the board. But we're but we're to believe, if the polls are correct, that this is, you know, razor thin and a toss-up and a coin toss and all the things we've heard.

Do you think part of the reason Why are all these polls virtually the same is If their one is extremely off, they're out of business. And like people worried about their own reputation by going out there. I think James Carville is the only one I know that of prominence that said, I guarantee you she's going to win. I don't know anybody else doing that.

Well, let's remember this about about James Carville. He's a very colorful guy. Uh and he's always good for a sound bite. and he has a reputation of being a real master uh political consultant. He had as his client The single most talented politician I ever met, Bill Clinton, And so David Pluff, who is the ca who's helping to manage the cam the Harris campaign, has a big reputation.

He had the second biggest talent in terms of just being a candidate in the campaign and Obama.

So it could be, just could be that both those guys are overrated.

So what do you think of this whole rise of the podcasters? And some of the personalities have come out and the candidates' decisions to go on these shows. They're adapting to the new media client. Uh the media climate. Where the old media are less and less important nearly every day.

In this world of podcasts, I mean, there are innumerable. I mean, I l I like podcasts. I like to listen to them, you know, particularly when I'm going somewhere and I I'm on in the car and I I and I there's s there's something I listen to nearly every day. Um that's a whole new deal. You know, we we never see anything like that.

So so J Joe Rogan I find interesting because he comes out, he asks good questions, he doesn't go out of his way to prepare. He wants to ask good questions about people he knows a little bit about. He wants to have a conversation rather than an interview. And this is what he said yesterday in speaking with Elon Musk. His best friend is Dana White.

Elon Musk is probably the person he probably respects more than anyone else. Both are going for Trump. And with his thirty million downloads, this is what he said, cut seven. Getting kicked off of Twitter. Most people would have just like, this is too much.

I can't take this. But he's so crazy. He's like, all right, come on, we're going to war. And he just. digs his heels in and keeps going.

Yeah. It's it's the wrong guy to do that to. Just like attacking him at the White House correspondence dinner. Most people would have been humiliated. He got angry.

He's like, Yeah, all right. You say I can't be president? I was thinking I've been thinking about running for about 15 years. Finally, I'm gonna run. Yeah.

Yeah. And he did. And then he followed up with this. He said, if it wasn't for. Elon Musk, we'd all be in a bad situation.

He makes what I think is the most compelling case for Trump you'll hear, and I agree with him in every step of the way. And for the record, yes, that's an endorsement of Trump. Enjoy the podcast. Pretty impactful for an election day either.

Well, yes, and particularly when you contrast that with the hysteria, the outbreak of hysteria, when the Washington Post, who is so obviously for Kamala Harris, it doesn't even need to be said, decides it's not going to formally endorse her, and the whole and everybody in the place goes crazy, and you have a massive staff crisis and all that. Why should post-endorsement in this day and age, same for the LA Times, which took the same thing, did the same thing, decided not to endorse, doesn't make a particle of difference anymore? It's been uh it has been decades, decades since newspaper endorsements mattered. And they don't matter anymore. Joe Rogan, on the other hand, with the size of his audience, that might matter.

You know what I think is also authentic good for him is that he doesn't endorse anyone. The last person he endorsed publicly was Bernie Sanders.

So I think it maybe shows somebody that the rise of somebody who's not ideological will be person to person, policy to policy. Maybe that's part of it. And if I was Trump, if he does win, Four years and out, and I'm done, I'm finished, I'm through. I would be, I would some days make it hard to disseminate what party he's in. I'd be pulling the Joe Manchins, the people that want to deal like Joe Manchin was going to deal together.

How do we get this done? How do we get this passed? What do you need? Let's get it done. Just like buying a building, buying a car, the way he was brought up.

Yeah, the heart of the deal, right? And do it. And what are you worried about? And you know what? A lot of Republicans I think would take a blame Trump on there.

Go, yeah, you know, I know I'm ultra conservative, but he's our president. I had to. Go along. Don't underestimate, though, the the strength of the aversion to Trump, particularly among women. They they don't like the yes, today.

Now, m The question really of this election is has that feeling? That has been such a big factor in the previous three cycles since 2016. Has that Ebbed. Has it declined? If it has, he's likely to win.

So yesterday they put a call out to the campaign to Megan Kelly. And they said, Would you come out and endorse him? Would you come out and introduce him and say a few words in Pennsylvania? And she did. And tell me if this helps, cut eleven.

He got mocked. by the left for saying he would be a protector of women. He will be a protector of women, and it's why I'm voting for him. He will close the border. He will keep the boys out of girls' sports.

and where they don't belong. And you know what else? One more thing. He will look out for our boys too. our forgotten boys and our forgotten men.

Just to add lib to great speech, you know how talented a broadcaster she is? She is the hot she is the b perhaps the biggest talent I ever dealt with. And I had something to do with the early part of her career when she came to Fox. And uh and I thought I never saw such a complete Uh package of of gifts. She looked great.

She has a wonderful voice, which is something that hamst hamstrings of certain women, not her. Um very smart. Uh and So She had she had everything you'd need and uh And I was there when She was being when Trump was mocking her in the most vulgar way. In twenty sixteen. And she and I talked about, you know, how do you handle this?

How do you handle a situation like that? The guy's in the ascendancy to get the nomination and he's saying these idiot things about her. And I said Megan, don't get down don't don't go down on his level. Just rise above it to the extent you can. I think to a great extent she did that.

If somebody had said and and in twenty twenty four he will be running again, he'll be the nominee and and sh and and you will endorse her I mean she will endorse him I'd have said that not a chance, no way after all that but This is the l this is the world we live in. And the big picture was, does that help with women? I know it's a last minute, just one speech. It's only 20 minutes. But when that gets a lot of coverage and gets.

Doesn't hurt. Can't hurt. I you know, I say that a lot at home. My wife my wife will ask me if it's We should do this or that, and I'll say can't hurt. And her view is that's not an answer.

But in this case, it the thing you can't really know is when you've got what, eighty some estimated eighty-two million people have already voted. On and this is the this is the final day of the campaign. it limits how much any late late development can you know can affect anything 'cause so many people have already voted. That's true, but I've never really met anybody that was still on the fence and couldn't know who to decide.

So maybe that gets to them.

Well, this is another fact that I think is worth keeping an eye on. Trump has arguably had a rough few days or a week or so, and it is often said now that Harris has finished stronger and all that. Maybe. But I think that most Americans have already figured out a long time ago what they think about Donald Trump. And they have issues about whether they'll vote for him or not.

But the stuff that's said by him or about him in the closing weeks of this campaign, I suspect won't have that much difference. A couple more minutes where Britt Hume is going to be part of the epic coverage tonight. We're going to start getting to states like North Carolina. I think we're going to get Georgia in tonight. We're going to maybe, obviously, the other ones in terms of battleground state, they told us to look at Michigan.

I'll find out what Britt thinks when we come back. Brian Killmeat Show, don't move. Expanding your knowledge base. It's the Brian Killmeat Show. Breaking news, unique opinions.

Hear it all on the Brian Kill Me Jo. That whole Iowa poll thing got everybody all happy. That was just silly. That was a great pollster with a bad poll. We are behind in Pennsylvania, folks.

We are behind. We're not where we're supposed to be in the early vote. And that means get up and go vote. Stand in long lines, do what you have to do. When she says she's the underdog, she is the underdog.

And I think it's important for people when you go to bed tonight to think about, do I know anybody in a swing state? Can I text them? Can I call them? Can I push people to go both? No offense, Britt Yune, but what I do is try to flip around to get other opinions, helps this show, and everything, just to find out what's going on.

And I was just struck by that because there was a sense on the CNN panel more positive, and he's like, We're not positive. This is not going well early. Do you feel as though he was motivating the audience, or do you feel as though there was real concern there? I feel like there was real concern. I think there's real concern, too.

I think he was telling people what he actually thinks. And of course, there's worry about whether she can win. Look let's face it. This woman Is the weakest presidential candidate I've ever seen. I thought Biden, whom I'd known forever and I'd long long known, was pretty weak.

And in his demented and in his d deteriorated condition, of course he was he was un he couldn't do it. Right.

But Okay. She's pretty weak. She's she's lighter than air. Uh she's inexperienced, really. She has no governing philosophy that we can do out other than sort of standard issue liberal ideas and And uh and she can't I think a reason she wouldn't go on Joe Rogan is that's a three hour show.

She doesn't have three hours worth of things to say. She has nothing to say, really. Clear with Brett. Didn't that come out with Brett? It certainly did come out.

Imagine not being ready for the question about Biden's infirmities. Imagine. Imagine reverting to a pre-debate, a pre-Biden debate answer about how how on top of it it was. Um And, you know, I think that certainly worries people that, uh She gets in a job and doesn't really know what she's doing. There's two things that they're going to write forever about this period.

Who put Biden on that stage in June? Number two, two implode. They must have known, or they were just oblivious to it. And number two, how many people covered up for him, and how bad was it? For three and a half years with the White House.

Ryana. It was about as bad as it gets. I was saying. As early as 2019, that he was senile. In fact, um and I caught a lot of grief for that.

I was c I will tell you this, I was careful when I said that to look up the word senile. Because I didn't want to be in a position of making a medical diagnosis.

Well, see, now is not a medical term. It is a standard colloquial term. It means feeling the effects of old age. No one should have been willing to deny that. He obviously was feeling the effects of his age.

Anybody would. I'm the same age he is, and boy, do I feel them.

So, you know, I was careful what I said. But there were people who wouldn't say it, who denied it, who disputed it.

Some of them, the anti-Trump people, particularly in the Republican Party, were all prepared to say, no, he's fine. And imagine Bill Crystal turning out to be a Biden Democrat. Imagine So this it was about as bad as it gets. And and it was and it w and it was, in my view, disqualifying. What about all those people that were looking to look past his senility, not say anything about no cabinet meetings?

Uh and allow him to stay in that position. Britt, it's going to be exciting. There's so many different facets. When do you think we'll get a winner? I don't know.

I think uh I think I think there's a greater likelihood of an early call for Trump than there is for her, but I don't know. Britt Yume, thanks so much. If Brent doesn't know, I don't have a shot. Trey Gowdy's next. Brian Kilmicho.

The fastest three hours in radio. You're with Brian Kilmead. Hey, welcome back, everybody. It's exciting. I mean, we have a lot going on.

It's election day. Trying to get a sense of how long the lines are. Are there any problems with blanketing the country? I think the Republicans spend $300 million on watchers and lawyers getting ready to go. A guy who is not, sadly, he's not able to capitalize on all that money because he is working for Fox now.

Trey Gowdy, former chairman of the House Oversight Committee and Reform Committee, hosted Sunday Night with Trey Gowdy, a fantastic show. Even when I watch it on the replay, Sundays at 7 o'clock. Trey, welcome back. Thank you, Brian. I was not smart enough to be an election law lawyer.

I was just kind of a. Oh, poor country murder homicide prosecutor. This stuff's complicated. It is. And you know what?

I always say this. When people say, Well, why do you think it's going to be even? Why do you think it's going to be fair? When average people come up to me, I wouldn't say average people. I'll rephrase that.

People not involved in the business. I will say, look. They have basically a billion dollars each. If they can't find a way to police the troublesome counties and precincts, it's on them. We can't do it.

So look over the shoulder, find out about the systems, elect people that are going to fix it, and do what they did in Georgia, do what they did in Florida, do what they seem to have done in North Carolina. Am I correct? And South Carolina is never a problem. Yes. I mean, even back when I was a federal prosecutor, every election night, we're on call.

We're on call for the beauty of our country is that the states elect the president. The maddening part of our country is the states elect the President.

So each state gets to set its own rules in terms of voting, but you have to follow those rules.

So when I think about litigation, number one, is the rule fair? That's a state court issue. Are you following your own rules? That's a mixed state and federal law issue. And then on election day, I guarantee you somewhere, somebody is going to go to a federal judge, Brian, and say, look, We got to keep the poles open longer.

We had a glitch with the machine. We had Something happened, we got to keep the polls open longer, and that's going to be up to a federal judge to decide whether or not to do that. Right, absolutely. Are you hearing about a big turnout? Because I'm getting a ton of it in New York, Long Island, where we're really focusing on local races.

Are you hearing this? Yeah, I Talked to several of my friends in politics all across the country this morning, which I find shocking because Republicans. finally embraced early voting. I mean, most of my friends voted early.

So you would think that maybe turnout would be a little lighter because so many people have already voted, but it doesn't look that way.

So I want you to hear what's happening already. I don't know who's going to win. You don't know who's going to win yet. I just had Britt Hume in. He said it in a minute.

The only person I know that weighed in was Carville and says that he guarantees Harris is going to win. But look at what's starting already. Cut eight. It is Putin's Russian troops who are now using Elon Musk's Starlink service on the battlefield in their war against our ally Ukraine, even as he cuts Ukraine off from that service at key strategic moments. I mean, Trump himself says he, quote, doesn't talk about his secret communications with Putin.

Bob Woodward's latest book reporting that Trump himself has been in frequent secret communication with Putin since Trump left office.

So I could bore you with the rest, but I mean, are we going to do this again if he wins? Is this about to happen? Uh yes. I think we are in a phase, Brian. I hope we get out of it.

This notion that I can't lose unless the other side cheats. I mean, if I were to go through. Probably three of our mutual heroes. Let's start with Jesus, who lost a race to Barabbas. Ronald Reagan lost.

Abraham Lincoln lost. I mean, the notion that you can only lose if the other side cheats is really an insult to your fellow citizens. I mean, you have to be vigilant. You can't be naive. But you also I mean, I remember Jon Thune narrowly lost a Senate race in South Dakota.

He was entitled to a recount, Brian, but he said, I'm not going to put my state through it. I even think about Al Gore, how difficult would it have been to certify an election as the vice president? when you really lost at the Supreme Court level five to four. I mean, that would be hard to do, to certify an election where you really, really think. You probably were a few hanging chads away from winning.

And now we've gotten to this. I mean, what? Elon Musk in Russia, what does that have to do with what happens today in our country? By the way, my parents also used Starlink after a hurricane, and they're not Russian. Not yet.

But I'm sure they've called Putin, and I'm sure Bob Woodard was going to write about it.

So it's a matter of you're going to be involved in this trade guy. My question to you: why is Donald Trump talking to Bob Woodard? Why don't they talk to people that don't know how to mind?

Well, you know, he did not help him with this book. But you know, they did talk to Tim Alberta, and he went behind the scenes on the Trump camp to paint, as usual, the chaos and the dissension that they say existed. Why would anyone let him in? Not that he's a bad reporter, a good reporter, but you know his agenda.

Well, w not only that, but but but he didn't want a debate with Martha McCallum and Brett Baer. I mean, if you want a referee that's not going to put his or her finger on the scale, you would pick Mark m Martha and Brett. You wouldn't go on ABC I do not understand why he talks to people that don't have his best interest in mind. Absolutely. And have you brought that up to him?

Because I know you talked to him, right? Uh I talked to him on the golf course. We just have a different opinion on, I think he feels like he can win them over. To be honest with you, I think that's his thought process. But by now, if you don't know that Bob Woodard does not have your best interest in mind, then me talking to you is not going to do any good.

So I know you have these axioms and beliefs about people. If you want to know the quality of the person, look at their spouse or their family. Whatever you want to say about the Trumps, he put whatever about Donald Trump, and I know he doesn't do it alone, but he put together some fantastic kids. He got as close to showing emotion as he will ever. Last night he brought them all up on stage.

And I think in the first, in the stop-in before Grand Rapids in Pennsylvania, it caught him by surprise. Here's their rap: Cut 13. Today Today is the day that we send a loud and clear message to the mainstream media, to the establishment, to Hollywood, to the swamp. That it is not them. When you wake up with not very much sleep.

You gotta get to the polls. America, it's time for us to pick. Our fighter, and it's that man right there. My father has never stopped, and he will never stop working for you guys. The crowd was also channeling for Baron, who's 19 and in college.

It's very hard to not respect the family he raised. Do you agree? And it's incredibly hard to grow up as the child of a famous. people Um and to have normalcy about yourself. Um, even his granddaughter, I thought his granddaughter actually stole the show at the RNC, and apparently.

To my everlasting chagrin, she's a better golfer than I am, too.

So, yeah, he deserves. People I don't know why we can't get to this point in life where we say, look, I'm not going to vote for you. I don't agree with you on the size and scope of government. But I do have complimentary things to say about you. Do you remember?

I think it was Joe Biden that said that Mike Pence was a decent man. Which is hardly the most complimentary thing in the world for me to say, hey, Brian Shiltmeet's a decent guy. But he got lambasted for simply saying that somebody was a decent. person. Is that really where we are?

You can't even say somebody's a decent person or a good father, a good grandfather, really smart kids. You can't say that. Can I tell you one little quick story?

Somebody took a shot. At President Obama's daughter, a gratuitous shot when she was a teenager, when I was in Congress, and I wrote him a note. And said, Look, kids are out of bounds. Your kids, you have done a remarkably good job raising your children. I just think children ought to be off limits.

Absolutely. And, you know, however, when they do deals with China, Ukraine, the Moscow mayor, that stuff and laptop, yeah. They were once kids. Right.

No offense, but the laptop was real. Don't bring me down there, if you don't mind.

So the other thing is. There are no 50-year-old kids. Yes. The other thing that I think is so wrong, and I've known it for now, she's back on our book tour, and I've seen it. Is this Melania-Donald Trump relationship?

People that don't know him just mock the relationship. Oh, she doesn't want to be around. They don't get along. You don't understand. They have such a bond.

They watch each other's back. She knows exactly what's going on. She helps him keep score. And she also Uh lets him know when he's wrong. It is a relationship that works.

And I just think that that also, as he closes out his eight-year run, and let's see if he gets another four years in the White House, people underestimate that relationship, too. He is The only human being on earth that I have ever heard leave him speechless. He was telling a story at dinner one night, and she interjected, and he held his head down and averted his eyes and had no response to what she said.

So for all the people in the world wondering who in the world could get Donald Trump To be quiet, to sit up straight, mind his manners, it would be Melania Trump because I watched it with my own two eyes. Wow, that's fascinating. Wow, that's fantastic.

So, so, Trey, what does your gut tell you now? What do your sources tell you now? I mean, I was just with Doug Collins. I couldn't believe how clued in he was on Pennsylvania precincts. Where do you sense that this race is?

Yeah. I mean, you put your finger on the right State, and it's really Pittsburgh and Pennsylvania with Texas in the middle. And Yes. I mean, Rackla is a very good friend of mine. He's got his finger on it.

I talked to Tim and Lindsey and Kevin McCarthy this morning. There's a cautious optimism. I never thought I'd won a trial, and I never thought I'd won an election. I just go through life being scared and working hard and just being surprised that I won.

So I I just you got to run through the tape, I I worry when I see these polls that have him up that some people may say well, you know, We don't, he doesn't need me today. Maybe I can go play golf. Maybe I can do something else. I think it's going to be incredibly close. I just hope Even if it's close, it's decisive because I don't want the country to go back through what it went through in 2020.

I don't want that.

Well, a couple of things. The other thing I like, and I think you too, is earn it.

So, while Donald Trump wins, no one's going to say he didn't earn it. I'm watching a woman get a job in 107 days and refuse to take positions on busy things. I'm sure that's for me. It better not be a fax machine. You are in the 21st century.

Is that a fax machine? That's not a fax machine. Oh, please. I'm going to have to talk to you and have an intervention with our tech support. But so.

I'm just shocked how How she does not take a position on anything.

So she wants to be tougher on crime. She wants to talk about what a prosecutor she is, whether it's the border or not. And there's Prop 36 in California, which has promised to revamp crime, put criminals behind bars, make repeated drug offenders go into rehab. Uh and obviously end this whole s st uh Smash and grab that they have.

So she gets asked that question, which, by the way, is an opportunity for you to say, yes, I voted to get rid of light on crime policies that I formally backed in 2014 because I felt we needed a correction. Instead, we get this, Cut 21. How did you vote on Prop 36?

So I have, my ballot is on its way to California, and I'm going to trust the system that it will arrive there. And I am not going to talk about the vote on that because, honestly, it's the Sunday before the election, and I don't intend to. create a an endorsement one way or another around it.

So but I did vote.

So Your chance to be tough on crime, I will not tell you because I don't want it to pass, or I didn't vote for it and I don't want to tell you. I mean, you know politics, Trey. Why not use that as an opportunity? I'm tough on crime. No prosecution and Prop thirty six is for recidivists.

It is not for first-time offenders. I mean, look, I started a drug court for nonviolent offenses. I was willing to give people a second chance. I'm not going to give you a third chance. This is for two-time offenders.

So it's your third offense, and you're struggling to make up your mind whether or not that person should be punished for either drugs or theft. On the one hand, in politics now, Brian, people can get away without debating. They can get away without doing interviews. There's this old school thought, I never got in trouble for something I didn't say. She's actually taking that to heart.

She's not saying a whole lot. But it's up to us as the jury, the voters, to say, you know what, I need to hear more from my candidates. I need to know what you think about recidivism, about three time losers and drug cases and theft cases. She's a California prosecutor. Do not confuse that with the rest of us.

The rest of us were real prosecutors. She was a California prosecutor. Understood, and you would know. Trey Gaddy, I look forward to you taking part in the coverage. Of course, your show on Sunday is fantastic.

You can watch them at 7 o'clock. Your show on Saturday is fantastic, and you work too hard. You need me to hire you as your agent so I can get you an hour off every day. No, I got plenty of time off. This is too much fun.

His name is Book is Start, Stay, or Leave, The Art of Decision Making. By the way, President Trump just voted. He's now talking to the press. We'll bring back those comments in a moment. He said I did as hard as I can.

Honored to get Rogan's endorsement. We'll bring you the rest. Trey Gaddy, see you in the halls. All right, Brian. Take care, brother.

Brian Kilmicho. Politics, current events, and news that affects you. Brian's got a lot more to say. Stay with Brian Kilmead. Sponsored by Previgen.

Previgen is the most recommended memory support brand by pharmacists. Just seems that the Conservatives are voting very powerfully. Just finish it up, guys. Are you nervous? No, I feel very confident.

I have felt. You know, we went in with a very big lead today. And it looks like uh Republicans have shown up. In force.

So We'll see how it turns out, but it seems that they have really shown up in force. I just got a call from. Uh Dan Patrick in Texas, he said he'd they'd never seen anything like it.

So that's the president of the United States still taking questions and answers. I wanted to share some of it. He's tired. Why wouldn't he be? And there's nothing wrong with that.

I saw David Pluff on last night running Harris's campaign, yeah, he looked exhausted.

So what? That's what it is. And sitting right next to Melania Trump, I don't know if they throw it. I just want to ask her one question: Do you want to go back to the White House?

So I would love that question answered. And she would go back, and now that Baron's in school, she might want to stay in New York some of the time. Having said that, he's very superstitious. We'll not talk about transition team. We'll not talk about logging it up.

He says we have a lead coming out of early voting. He said that he just heard from Dan Patrick, and Dan Patrick said that the lines were big. We got it. He also said he was honored to get Joe Rogan's endorsement. He had a pretty big night.

He got Roberto Comenti Jr. If you're worried about the Puerto Rican vote, he's the most famous Puerto Rican, I think, in the world. A friend of the family, the son tried to play, was not as good as his dad, but nobody is. He died in 1972, is just a rock star, broke the essentially the Latin America barrier, unsaid barrier in baseball. And if you could have a name that's royalty with Puerto Ricans, it is Clemente.

So that helps. Was it on m enough? I dunno. But it definitely doesn't hurt. And I don't know anybody who thinks for sure They have figured out who's going to win this thing.

So it's really interesting to see because with Trump comes the balance of power and the degree. I'd be surprised. Yeah. The Senate doesn't go to the Republicans? It would be somewhat of an upset if the Republican House stamed the Republican House, although not too far.

No one's talking about the craziness that went on with their lack of passing things and of getting rid of Kevin McCarthy, which was the stupidest thing ever, no offense to Speaker Johnson. And then going through vote after vote after vote and then trying to basically oust Johnson. Marjorie Taylor Greene It made you think that they have no shot of holding the House. America's going to say no. But they looked around and said, Yeah, these guys are fire.

They don't agree on everything, but I certainly don't want to go back to wokeism. Yeah, just key. All right, make sure if you wanna see me in person, I know it's a long way away.
