Key Insights

Why is Pennsylvania considered a critical state in the upcoming election?

Pennsylvania holds 19 electoral college votes, making it crucial for both candidates to secure a win. The state's demographics, including significant Latino and Amish populations, add to its strategic importance.

Why did Kamala Harris host a rally in Allentown, Pennsylvania?

Allentown has a significant Latino community, and Harris aimed to appeal to this demographic by bringing in celebrities like rapper Fat Joe and a salsa singer to boost turnout.

What was the reaction of Trump supporters outside the Kamala Harris rally in Allentown?

Trump supporters were highly visible and enthusiastic, with many showing up without needing to be bussed in, contrasting sharply with the efforts to bring people to the Harris rally.

What message did Laura Trump emphasize regarding election integrity?

Laura Trump stressed that any attempts to cheat in the election would be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, highlighting recent legal victories ensuring correct dates and signatures on mail-in ballots.

How does the early voting turnout compare to previous elections, and what does it indicate?

Republicans have significantly outpaced Democrats in early voting, a shift from typical patterns where Republicans usually vote in person on Election Day. This indicates a strong early support for Trump.

What are the key demographics in Reading, Pennsylvania, that could influence the election outcome?

Reading has a 70% Latino population, predominantly Puerto Rican, and a growing Amish community, both of which could play pivotal roles in the election results.

Why might the Jewish vote be particularly significant in Pennsylvania?

With 450,000 Jewish voters, Pennsylvania's Jewish community could swing the election. Historically, a Republican candidate securing over 30% of the Jewish vote tends to win the election.

How has the messaging on abortion impacted the female vote in this election?

While abortion remains a top issue for many women, the codification of abortion rights in states like Michigan has reduced its impact as a voting issue. This has left some women less motivated to vote based on this single issue.

What is the significance of the endorsements from figures like RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard for the Trump campaign?

These endorsements from prominent figures like RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard appeal to a broader, more unified coalition, potentially attracting younger voters and those disillusioned with traditional party politics.

What concerns have been raised about the integrity of the upcoming election in Pennsylvania?

Concerns include potential voter fraud and the accuracy of mail-in ballots, with efforts underway to ensure all ballots are correctly dated and signed, and to monitor provisional ballots closely.

Welcome into our special rally coverage. I am Bo Davidson alongside Emily Finn. President Trump is headed to Reading, Pennsylvania for a rally that's supposed to be right now at 2 p.m. But Emily, we think he's going to be maybe closer to 3 p.m. because he just got off the ground in North Carolina where he was this morning. And this is one stop of about four he's going to do today. Is that just a one-stop shop?

just incredible. But we had three rallies yesterday, all in different states. You said he's got four today. I mean, this guy is unstoppable. But this is the final stretch. It's the last day to do it before tomorrow's big election. It's election eve. We're less than 24 hours a day away from this. And I got it. We got to talk about Pennsylvania.

Yes. Pennsylvania represents 19 electoral college votes, and that's really, really critical because both of these candidates need Pennsylvania in order to win if you look at the current map. And, Emily, I know you have some things that you'd like to say about Pennsylvania based on what you know, why Trump would be in Reading, Pennsylvania today, why Kamala Harris is in Allentown. Tell us what you know about Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania is going to be absolutely critical. That's a great point. It does have 19 electoral votes, so it really carries a lot of weight on this road to 270, which we're all going to be glued to our TV screens watching play out tomorrow. But I want to talk about Allentown, Pennsylvania first. That is one town that has a very significant Latino community. There's also a significant amount of Latinos in Redding, Pennsylvania as well. Actually, 70 percent of their population there are Latinos. But it's interesting that they're really doing this push for that specific demographic, for that vote.

today kamala harris was hosting a rally in allentown and she actually had two celebrities that i've never heard of there with her we got rapper fat joe have you guys heard of rapper fat joe i certainly haven't and a salsa singer as well so it really seems like she's trying to pull out as many people as she can to support her but really have

hasn't been getting a whole lot of traction. I know that one of our correspondents is there on the ground in Allentown right now. He is. We've got Jack Posobiec that's right there in Allentown, just outside the Kamala Harris rally. Jack, can you hear us? Are you there? What's up, guys? We're here in Allentown. Oh, my gosh. Well, now, Jack, that...

Jack, that's a lot of Trump supporters outside of a Kamala rally. You couldn't even get anyone here to bus people in. We got the video of the buses. Ten buses. They counted ten buses up. Ten buses. Wow. Right here.

So you see how it is. These guys go right here. Patriots are in total control. What about all these people? Let me ask you guys. What about all these people who say Trump's a racist, J.D. Vance is a racist, that it's all racist. Is that true? I love the flag. Let me show the flag. Look at that. That's what it's all about right there. Let's go!

- So you can see right here down in Allentown, no fear whatsoever. This train has no brakes, all gas, no brakes whatsoever in Allentown, PA.

Thanks, Jack. Stick with us. We'll come back to you in just a minute. So, Emily, you can see you've got bust-in people and Fat Joe in Allentown, Pennsylvania. But outside of it, you've got real Trump supporters who were there who don't need to be bust into any rally. No, they were there on their own volition. They decided they wanted to come out and support the former president and rile some people

up outside of a Kamala rally. It's great to see. That's right. And as we prepare for Donald Trump to be speaking in Redding, Pennsylvania, let's take a look in right now. I believe we have Laura Trump, the president's daughter-in-law, speaking on stage right now. Let's listen in. But I feel like my secret might be safe with a few of you in here. When I was growing up, I was a competitive athlete. I thought I was going to go to the Olympics one day and then I got injured and I lost my dream.

I was a broken, lost 19-year-old girl in early 2015 when my little brother, my absolute best friend and the smartest person on the planet came to me and said, "I have two things to tell you. Number one, I just heard a rumor that Donald Trump is going to run for president. If that happens, he will in fact be the next president of the United States."

And number two, if you want to fix your life, get back on your feet and find a little inspiration, start watching Donald Trump's videos, start reading his books, and get your life together. So I did. A year later, I started volunteering for the 2016 Trump campaign.

A few months later, my brother and I were offered jobs as two of probably the youngest staffers on that campaign. And then a couple of weeks later, we were a teeny tiny piece of the team that made American history. And tomorrow, I very much look forward to standing right by my little brother's side and watching Donald Trump make American history once more. Because tomorrow will truly mark

the greatest comeback, not only in American history, but in the history of this world. And I cannot wait. You know, Donald Trump doesn't get enough credit for everything he's done.

doesn't get a lot of credit for everything he's taught us and shown us either. And I think what's most important that anyone should learn from Donald Trump, something I hope everyone in this room takes with them for the rest of their lives, is something that he was saying long before he ever ran for president. Obviously it's something he has shown us every single day these last eight years, but it's something that he talked about long before he ever started his political career.

No matter what hits you, no matter what obstacles you overcome, no matter what comes your way, you can never, ever, ever give up. I ask anyone in this room or listening right now, if you have not yet voted, tomorrow is the most important day of our lives. We have one chance to save our country, the single greatest country on the face of the earth. So I ask you all,

Vote for your children, vote for your grandchildren, vote for everyone who fought and died so we can be here right now. And vote for those around the world who, like my parents at one point in their lives, looked to this country and to all of us in this room as the beacon of light that we all are. It has truly been the honor of my lifetime. I don't know what I did in a past life to deserve anything I've experienced with you all these last eight years.

It has been an honor to be here with you this afternoon, to be a small part of this journey we've all been on for eight years, the MAGA movement, which will live on much longer than any of us in here, I'm sure. And it's, of course, my great honor to introduce to you all a woman who needs absolutely no introduction.

She's my friend. She's the daughter-in-law of our favorite president, the co-chair of the Republican National Committee, ladies and gentlemen, Laura Trump. What's up, Pennsylvania? Hey, Mark Cuban, get a load of these smart, strong ladies behind me. My lady's here tonight. Oh, yeah.

Absolutely love it. Well, guys, it is such an honor to be here. I love you guys. Thank you. Guys, we're 24 hours away from making sure we send a loud and clear message.

to the mainstream media, to Hollywood, to the establishment, to the Democrats, that it is not them, but we the people who are in charge of this country. And we are sending Donald J. Trump back to that White House. I almost can't believe that tomorrow is it, right? I mean, we've been thinking about this for so long.

And we're 24 hours away. I mean, this has really been such an incredible ride for the past nine years of my life. I am so honored to have the last name Trump and be part of this family, something I promise you I never in a million years imagined. I'm also incredibly honored to be your co-chair of the RNC.

And in case nobody noticed, we're not going to have any cheating in this election this time around. Because right here in Pennsylvania, we've already had some big wins. They tried to shut down early voting in Bucks County. We sued them. And we got three extra days for you folks in the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to get out and vote early.

And we have a very simple message, it's very clear. Don't cheat in our elections, because if you do, we will find you, we will track you down, and we will prosecute you to the full extent of the law. That simple. We want free, fair, and transparent elections. And by the way, do you guys know this? We offered for our friends over at the DNC to come join us in our pursuit of election integrity. Now, we have yet to hear back on that, but we do still have around 24 hours, so I'll let y'all know if they give us a call.

But don't hold your breath. It has also been such an honor to be right there fighting side by side with the greatest president this country has ever seen, a man I'm proud to call my father-in-law, Donald J. Trump, from day one. But you guys probably feel this way too. Isn't it a little bit bittersweet? Like we're 24 hours away. Guys, we have lived history. Let's face it, there's never going to be another Donald Trump.

A guy who can troll them so hard, they're mad about him working at McDonald's. A week later, he trolls them so hard, he's driving a garbage truck to a rally in Wisconsin.

There will never be anything like this again. It's absolutely incredible. And so I've kind of been trying to figure out how do I really feel right now? Because this is such a big day tomorrow, but it is a little bit bittersweet. And I also think about the fact that Donald Trump never needed this job, guys. Remember that, right? He had fame. He had fortune. And if you wondered if he had fortune, he would tell you he had fortune.

Right? He was a household name. Everybody knew Donald Trump. But there's a very famous Oprah Winfrey interview. Back in the 80s, when she famously asked Donald Trump, would you ever run for president of the United States? And you know what he told her? He said, only if things got so bad, I felt I had no other option. Only if the country needed me. Well, guess what?

That's exactly why he ran in 2016, because the country needed him. That's exactly why he ran again in 2020, because he wasn't done. The country still needed him. And that is why, despite every single thing thrown his way, the attacks, the lies, the smears, the impeachments, the indictments, the mugshot that is the greatest mugshot the world has ever seen,

Even an assassin's bullet. Donald Trump said, I am not done because this country needs me. And let's face it, this country right now needs Donald Trump more than we ever have before, ladies and gentlemen. That's why tomorrow is such a big deal. Now, can I get a show of hands? Who in here voted early in Pennsylvania?

Okay, now I love that. But here's what else I love. The rest of y'all that didn't raise your hands, tell me who's voting tomorrow here in Pennsylvania. You absolutely love to see it. I got to tell you guys something. The Democrats are getting a little nervous right now. Have you noticed? The vote totals aren't really checking out for them in some of these states in the early voting because we have absolutely killed them in the early vote totals all across the country. So get ready for tomorrow.

And when you guys go out tomorrow, now you know not to go empty handed. Pick up your friends, pick up your family, your dentist, your pediatrician, your veterinarian. I don't care if you got to buy them a sandwich or mow their lawn. Do it if they're going out to vote for Donald Trump and you take them to vote with you tomorrow. OK, can we do that? So listen, as bittersweet as this kind of is for all of us in the Trump family.

This is also very exciting because what I've come to realize and what I think we're all feeling right now in this country is that tomorrow is not the end. Tomorrow is the beginning. Yeah, it's the beginning of a new era in the United States of America. And I'm going to make a prediction right now.

Despite all that this man has had against him, despite how much they've attacked him and fought against Donald Trump, it will be Donald J. Trump who unifies this country, who brings us back together, and finally restores the American dream for the United States of America.

So I got to say thank you to you guys. You guys are not just part of a political movement. You are part of our family. We love you. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything, for the support, for the love, for the prayers. We have all felt them time and time again. And we are so appreciative. We love you too. Thank you. And so I want you guys to remember this.

Tomorrow night is the beginning because it's not just that Donald Trump is going to make America great again. He's going to make America greater than ever before. Thank you, guys. Thank you, Pennsylvania. Get out and vote. I love you.

November 5th, we going crazy. November 5th.

And that was Laura Trump, the president's daughter-in-law, speaking in Redding, Pennsylvania, a state that everyone has their eyes on, Emily, because it's worth 19 electoral votes. And let's talk about the female component.

of this race. Trump holds about an 18% advantage among men and Kamala has about a 16% advantage with women. But let's go to that Mark Cuban comment where Mark Cuban says that Trump doesn't surround himself with intelligent women. How do you respond to that, Emily? What do you think that women who do support Trump have thought about that since hearing that?

unbelievably insulting and frankly pretty ignorant. We just saw Laura walk out and mention that comment. It was almost a gift to the Republicans to be able to use that soundbite and be able to use all of our smart women within the party to be able to talk about how just ridiculous that is. I mean, Laura literally said, hey, Mark Cuban, get a

voted these smart, strong women on stage with me. So they've definitely used that in their favor to be able to campaign. But it really is an issue for the Republicans right now, the vote with women. And I think the abortion issue is really driving this. Republicans simply just haven't been able to get their messaging down on the abortion issue. And for some reason, they're really supporting

how Kamala is talking about it, but it feels as though Trump's stance when it comes to abortion just really isn't accurately reported. I think that's right. And you know, Nikki Haley just put out an op-ed supporting President Trump, I think, over the weekend. I don't know how many people read the Wall Street Journal, but it was a pretty

uh incredible endorsement of the president and so you think about she's a very powerful woman you think about earlier at the rally in north carolina trump played a video of jocelyn nongere's mother who was talking about the immigrant crisis and this is how i see it and you know i'm just a guy so this is just one man's opinion and i'd love to get your opinion emily on this but as i see it how can you be the party that protects women or is supporting women and their rights how can you

even think about reproductive rights if your own cities and your own home and your own streets are unsafe because the border crisis that you cannot even keep your own women safe in their streets in America. That's a fantastic point but Beau I will say that has been the messaging that they've been using. President Trump has been getting on stage saying that he wants to be a protector

for women and actually has gotten to the point where the campaign is telling them don't say that anymore because it's just simply not resonating. So I think if they're able to get their messaging on this abortion topic a little bit more refined, they do a lot better with women overall. You're 100% right. Well, let's bring in another wonderful female that's on the RAV staff, Tara Dahl. She's there in Redding, Pennsylvania. Tara, can you give us a lay of the land there as we prepare for the former president to speak, hopefully in just about half an hour or less, we hope.

Yeah, it's great to be with you. And this crowd is fired up. I can hear you. Can you hear me? Okay. Yes, yes. Go ahead. This crowd is fired up here in Reading. You just heard from Laura Trump and the Women for Trump that are out doing a tour. They spoke this morning as well outside at 9 a.m. before the rally started. But just some of the points that you guys were just talking about of what Laura said, that really stuck out to me what she talked about.

This year, if you try to cheat, that they will find you and they will prosecute you to the full extent. And that they're having victories here in Pennsylvania for anyone that's trying to have voter fraud. And that is really important because even talking to people, guys, and the line before coming in, that was...

We're waiting to come to the rally. When I was asking them, do you trust this year's election? Do you think it's going to be fair? People are still concerned. They still don't believe that you're going to have a fair and honest election, which we all know that what we saw in 2020 when they stole the election.

And then another thing she said was that it doesn't start tomorrow, or it doesn't end tomorrow. Tomorrow is just the beginning. And I think that is what is so important, is that tomorrow is really the beginning of restoring our country. It doesn't end, it is just starting.

That's a really great point, Tara. That's something Bo and I were talking about earlier. You know, Pennsylvania carries so much weight with 19 electoral votes. And so I feel like, you know, after what we saw in 2020, that Republicans are just really awake this time around to be able to make sure that there isn't any cheating and that everything is above board. But Tara, I do want to ask you about the significance of the Latino vote, specifically in Redding. I understand that their population is 70 percent Latino, majority of them being Puerto Rican. So have you been talking with any voters today?

about how significant that's going to be to get those voters locked down?

Yeah, I was just talking out in the line too. There was a pastor, a Latino pastor, and he was saying to 40 years he's been here and he has seen just that shift over in the Latino vote towards Republican and more of just the Latino community getting out to vote and realizing really what is at stake. But that is a big demographic here in Reading. It's 67, 70% Latino. And this

Berks County here. Trump won in 2016 and Trump won in 2020. But it's a significant county. And another key demographic, I have to tell you guys, is the Amish vote. The Amish vote here in Pennsylvania. There's about 90,000 Amish here. And they are starting to register and become more political as well. And so that is another community that could really help tilt the scales in this year's election if they get out and vote.

Tara, let's go back to the election integrity issue for a moment. Laura Trump did reference that they sued, I believe it was Bucks County, they were trying to shut down early voting. What are the things that you're seeing in that state specifically that are vulnerable? And what is the GOP doing, especially the Trump campaign, to keep eyes on what maybe could happen? What should we be looking for? What are they looking at? And is there a sense that they can put an end to this before it starts, so to speak?

Yeah, well, you're seeing something now online, too, is with the ballots, is to go online to verify if your ballot was received and to make sure that you check the website, check the link to make sure that your ballot was received. And if you don't get that ballot received, make sure that you call to verify that it was. That's one thing. And then we know, too, that the GOP won this.

the lawsuit where with the state Supreme Court here in Pennsylvania, that you have to have the date and the signature correct on your mail-in ballot. That was a big win for the GOP. The RNC didn't win, but the U.S. Supreme Court ruling back on Friday, where they said that with the provisional ballots, they lost that one. So they've had some really good wins. They lost the U.S. Supreme Court one.

But those, I think, are the key with the mail-in ballots. Make sure that you have the date, the signature, and everything is right. And then also with the provisional ballots, that's what they're tracking. But I know online, so anyone that's watching in Pennsylvania, go online, make sure that your ballot was received, that you get that verification. And any kind of fraud that you notice, call the RNC, turn it in. That is something I think that people are noticing that they're doing. They're getting ahead of it this year in 2024. Unlike 2020, where the RNC...

They waited until after and they had to react. Now they're trying to prevent it. And that is absolutely key, guys, is to get ahead of this. Absolutely. Well, Tara, that's all really great advice. Thank you so much for sharing some insight with us from Reading, Pennsylvania. We'll definitely be checking back in with you as we eagerly anticipate hearing from the former president. Thank you so much, Tara. Thanks, guys.

You know, Emily, I think about 1.7 million voters in Pennsylvania have already voted. That's significant. And what I took away from Laura's speech as well, Emily, just for a moment before we go to break, is that they've outpaced the Democrats in terms of the early voting. And that's something I don't think the Democrats anticipated would happen, and that doesn't look good for them. And I think there's a sense of panic. Even as I was speaking to David Zierer earlier this morning in North Carolina, the undecided, uncommitted vote...

had outpaced Republican and Democrat votes. And I'm not sure what that says yet, but I think it does say that people are getting ahead of the process and they're wanting to vote early. A lot of them are. I just want to point out quickly here, Beau, it's quite unprecedented. I mean, Republicans are usually the ones that get out and vote in person on Election Day. So to be able to see all of this turnout with early voting, I mean, I guess the campaign has really been able to get out the vote, to really do that work.

Absolutely. Well, before we go to break, we've got to talk about FreeTrumpKnife.com. FreeTrumpKnife.com is handing out limited edition collectible knives today in honor of today's rally right here in Redding, Pennsylvania. We are giving away 250 collectible knives.

So make sure you're heading to their website and use that code voice to get some for yourself. We are awaiting former presidential

Trump to take the stage in Reading, Pennsylvania. But we've been talking about how crucial this state is going to be. I mean, it is the battleground of all battlegrounds in this election season. It is. And I don't think we have the graphic up right now, but I just want to kind of give you a lay of the land of what the RCP or Real Clear Politics polling looks like right at this moment. This is based on averages. So you get some polls that are wonky. You get some polls that are more accurate. Earlier on American Sunrise, we had Mark Mitchell of Rasmussen. He's excellent when it comes to polling. He wants to make sure he is right. It's not about

being first or confirming your bias, it's about being right. As it stands right now, if you look at the swing states, they've got Nevada, Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania all going for Donald Trump. That would put him at 287, Emily. That's over 270 that he needs. That puts Harrison Walls at 251. This is why it's critical with Pennsylvania since this is where two rallies are going to be today.

You take the Pennsylvania 19 electoral college votes away from Trump and he loses. That's how critical it is because he, and granted Kamala Harris cannot bleed Michigan or Wisconsin. Those are well within the margin of error as well. But if you look at the average right now, Pennsylvania, they've got Trump up plus 0.3. Emily, I can't tell you how razor thin. That's why we're talking about Amish.

That's why we're talking about women. That's why we're talking about the youth vote. That's why we're talking about Hispanic and Latino votes. Absolutely. Because this matters. Kamala Harris has been running with this Puerto Rico comment. And, you know, I actually want to know when we speak to Tara in a minute whether that has resonated with anyone or whether they're unconvinced by what was said there because it was just a comedian who said it. Well, that's going to be a great question to ask, Tara. And as you've been mentioning throughout the program, 70 percent of that population in Reading, Pennsylvania, is Latino. A majority of them are Puerto Ricans. And so that's going to be a critical.

critical vote in that area. But like you mentioned, Beau, Trump has a rally in this town today. Harris also has a rally, a couple throughout the state of Pennsylvania. So without a doubt, this is going to be critical. And both campaigns recognize that Pennsylvania is the state to win. Let's talk to, let's bring Tara actually, Tara Dahl back in, because I know she's in Redding. She's awaiting the former president. Tara, give us a sense on this issue of the Latino vote. It really wasn't talked about. I know on Special Report, you know, we talked about it, but I feel like it really was overlooked.

And now it's in prime focus. And obviously that's because Kamala Harris has tried to capitalize on one comment that was made in New York recently. So the bottom line is, are you going to react and vote based on one comment that was made at a rally that wasn't even about Donald Trump? Or are you going to react based on what is right for your family? How much food you can put on the table? The issues that actually matter. Is it a comment or is it

the reality of your family. What do you think? What are you hearing from voters in Pennsylvania? Yeah, I actually talked to a... Oh, we might have lost Tara.

That's OK. We will certainly check back in with her pretty quick here. But, Beau, I do want to point this out really quick. The New York Times, right? We all know exactly where they lean. We know how biased they can be. But I want to show you this headline that they had out today. It reads, in Pennsylvania, Republicans stress optimism while Democrats just stress. It definitely seems like even the New York Times is pointing out that the Democrats have a bit of an uptick.

uphill battle in Pennsylvania here, Beau. They do. I think there is legitimate stress. I think that's why we're seeing them pull out every rapper and every musician that they possibly can. J. Lo, the cast of different movies and things, Mark Ruffalo. Actually, let's get an opinion from Steve Gruber, our very own Steve Gruber, host of America's Voice Live. Steve, are you there?

Absolutely. I'm here. What do you what can I do for you today, Beau? Emily, I'm here to serve. Well, Emily, I'd like for Emily to reread this headline from The New York Times. And we're going to talk about what it talks about with Pennsylvania. Yeah, that just came out a couple hours ago here, Steve. It says in Pennsylvania, Republicans stress optimism while Democrats just stress. I mean, it was a shocking headline from The New York Times. What do you make of this? Look, there's a lot.

There's a lot in the balance here today, as you know. 24 hours from now, we'll be in the thick of it on Election Day. We expect Republicans to turn out in better numbers on Election Day, as they always do. And here's what's really frightening Democrats, whether it's Pennsylvania or any of the swing states, and that is simply this. Let's look at Pennsylvania specifically. Urban turnout is down 381,000.

compared to 2020. The female vote in Pennsylvania is down 450,000 compared to this point in 2020. That's pretty remarkable numbers coming from Democrat data expert Tom Bonnier of Target Smart, all right? And this is true across the battleground states here in Michigan, for example. Urban turnout down 321,000 votes so far compared to 2020. The female turnout is down 204,000. Now look, the

The Democrats know David Axelrod said just yesterday it's going to be all about the female vote. He says there is a lack of optimism. You look at Pennsylvania, you guys were just talking about this. Senator John Fetterman said there is an enthusiasm for Donald Trump. You can feel it. You look at what's happening and you look at Mark Halpern. He's been pretty good this election cycle, being pretty sober on what's right and what's wrong, talking to both sides. He says, look, either the Democrats turn out 54 percent of the women

or they don't. And right now, look, Arizona down 170,000 women, Georgia down 46,000 women, Michigan, as I said, down 204,000, North Carolina down 154,000. The list goes on, guys. The women aren't showing up. And we know, historically speaking, yes, have Republicans cast early votes in record numbers? Yes, they have, because low propensity voters.

People have not voted previously, but are sympathetic, if you will, to the working people of this country. Look, the battle here is between the working class Americans and the elite ruling class. That's what this that's what this comes down to. There's been a realignment here. The Republicans are the party of the working class. It's true in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, the Rust Belt. And look, I heard you guys talking about this.

Pennsylvania, critical. Michigan, I'm not sure how it's going to go. You know, I feel, you know, it's really, really close. I think Wisconsin's going red. I think Wisconsin's the one that nobody's really paying as much attention to as they should. I felt this way for the last 10 or 14 days. I think that Donald Trump's going to take...

the Sun Belt, maybe not get Nevada. And if he doesn't get Nevada and he gets Wisconsin, doesn't matter. Trump wins anyway. So look, that's why the Democrats are distressed. That's why the New York Times are pointing it out. That's where we are in the race today.

Well, and Steve, we know you've spent a lot of time on the ground in Michigan at quite a few rallies. I do want to ask you about that, but I want to stay on this topic of women quickly. Bo and I were talking earlier that abortion really seems to be a top issue for women in this election and something that Republicans have really been struggling with their message on to appeal to female voters. But you talking...

talking about how women overall really just aren't coming out to vote. What do you attribute that to? Do you think you would think to have a female candidate for president that women would want to be voting? Why don't you think they are? Is she just that bad of a candidate that they don't want to support her? I think there's a lack of enthusiasm. Look, if you look at Donald Trump and J.D. Vance, people are going to vote for Donald Trump. They're going to vote for the Trump-Vance ticket.

On the Kamala Harris side, oftentimes they're voting against Donald Trump and J.D. Vance. And historically speaking, when you come to an election, people that vote against somebody come up short. When you're voting for somebody, when you're voting for secure borders, when you're voting for a better economy, when you're voting for a stronger foreign policy, that's what you're voting for. You're voting for something that was good four years ago, and you're voting for something that you think is hopeful and a future message. And boy, have you look at who Donald Trump surrounds himself with, Elon Musk and

And, you know, Tucker Carlson and all of these great people. I mean, these are talented people. You look at Dana White. You look at all these people. Tulsi Gabbard, the whole collection. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the collection of people. Talk about a unity ticket.

I mean, that's what this is. This is unity in America. You've got men, you've got women, you've got black men and black women. You've got the Hispanic vote that's breaking big for Trump. And here's one other thing that's going to be critical in Pennsylvania that I think you need to really focus on. 450,000 Jewish voters in Pennsylvania. Four years ago, Donald Trump got about 20 to 25 percent of that vote. This time around, he'll get 40 to 45 percent of that vote in any time.

Anytime a Republican candidate gets 30% or more of the Jewish vote in the United States, they win. Donald Trump could set a record with Jewish voters. Look, there's 450,000 Jewish voters. You talk about an adjustment from 25% to 45%. That's a 60 or 80,000 vote swing. By the way, 80,000 was the margin in Pennsylvania. The math is...

is in Donald Trump's favor. And then you bring in the Muslim vote in Michigan. There's a couple hundred thousand voters in Michigan and the Muslim leaders of Hamtramck and Dearborn and Dearborn Heights now endorsing Trump. You go over to Minnesota. Do I think Minnesota is going to go Trump? Probably not. It's always been a teaser state for the Republicans. But once again, the Somali community, the Muslim community in Minneapolis endorsing Donald Trump over the weekend. These are important factors.

I don't know why the women may or may not be turning out, but here in Michigan, I can tell you, to answer that question and get all the way back around, abortion was settled in Michigan two years ago. It's been enshrined in the Constitution. Abortion up to the moment of birth is already here in Michigan. It's true in many states now. So abortion has less of an impact than it has previously because it's already been codified in places like Michigan. So are women going to turn out to vote on abortion in Michigan? Not like they did two years ago, I can assure you, because...

It's already been taken care of by the voters. It's not really an issue in Michigan and many other states, too. Like Ohio, it was taken care of last year. They're probably disappointed they didn't keep it as a as an election issue for this year, but they did it last year in an off year election. So there you have it. That's one of the reasons I think that abortion doesn't have the impact that it has previously. It is.

Let's go to the Jewish vote because you mentioned that and there's something really popped up. So Donald Trump has been very pro-Israel president. He's very pro-Israel posturing. Did it make you think, Steve, when you looked at this, that maybe Kamala Harris had a tremendous unforced error in picking Tim Walz and not Josh Shapiro, who could have helped her tremendously in the state?

Well, Josh Shapiro said no. That's a fact. It can be disputed all you want. As far as I'm concerned, Josh Shapiro said no. That's the little bit of reporting I got from behind the curtain. And I believe that to be true. There's a reason for that. There's a reason Gretchen Whitmer didn't jump up and say, pick me to be your running mate. And Josh Shapiro didn't say, pick me. And they kind of said, well, you got Tim Walls.

And the reason being is Josh Shapiro is an upcoming star of the Democrat Party. He's going to run in 2028. So is Gretchen Whitmer. So are some of these other folks. Beshear out of Kentucky might run in 2024. The reason...

Those people were not that thrilled about the idea of running with Kamala because they didn't think she could win. Right. And there's a factor. Now, if she does win, Shapiro and Whitmer will be there with long faces. And because by the time you get back around, they'll both have been out of office for a period of time and they'll be yesterday's news. They both want to run for president in 2028. I know here in Michigan, Whitmer's team has been there willing and ready and ready to go. And if if Joe Biden had not.

endorsed Kamala Harris right out of the gate the same day that he announced that he was stepping aside. I think Whitmer would have been in a short run. I think Shapiro would have been in a short run. And look, I will tell you today.

If it was Shapiro or Whitmer at the top of the ticket and either one of the other, if those two were together on a ticket, it'd be more formidable than what you're looking at. That is a fact. And so, yes, was Shapiro a mistake in Pennsylvania? Yeah. You wouldn't be there talking to the Pennsylvania voters and the Jewish voters. Four hundred and fifty thousand strong. If you had a Jewish man as your running mate on the ticket, I think that it changed the entire dynamic.

You know, Steve, I can't think of a worse vice presidential candidate than Tim Walz. But when you take into consideration that everyone else said no, he was simply the last resort, it kind of makes sense. Steve, thank you so much for sharing your insight with us today. Thanks, Steve. Guys, thank you.

There is certainly a lot at stake in this upcoming election. And we do want to talk a little bit about our partners at Birch Gold. Regardless of who is sitting in the White House, the fuse on the economy has already been lit. Even four years of a conservative presidency will not be enough to turn the tide on our $35 trillion national debt. And if the left keeps winning, it's like throwing gas on a dumpster fire. You don't have too much control over the election's outcome, but what you can do is

We'll be right back with more coverage ahead of Trump's rally in Redding, Pennsylvania. Don't go anywhere. Stay with us.

so

Welcome back to our special rally coverage right here at Real America's Voice. I'm Beau Davidson alongside Emily Finn. We are eagerly anticipating President Trump speaking in Redding, Pennsylvania. And after Redding, Emily, he will go to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, hitting the Keystone State twice today. I mean, he never stops, Beau. He's always working, always, always working. We do have one of our correspondents on the ground for us in Pittsburgh. We want to check in with Michelle Backus. Hey, Michelle, how's it going out there in Pittsburgh?

Hey, guys, we're in my hometown. And I'll tell you what, Pennsylvania is the key to winning this election. I've been saying it all along and I'm going to hone in on that. If you take a look right behind me, this is the line outside of PPG Paints Arena. Now, this is the special guest entrance. And if you notice, you see a lot of people wearing the garbage man uniform, but also a lot of hard hats.

So what I'm thinking here, Beau and Emily, is that President Trump is going to hone in on the number one issue on the ballot, which is the economy. And you look at Pennsylvania, you look at Pittsburgh specifically, a lot of manufacturing jobs, a lot of blue collar jobs taken out of the state, taken overseas. I believe he's going to nail that, talking about bringing jobs back to America and back to these blue collar towns.

Yeah, Michelle, talk to us about some of the numbers of underperforming numbers that came out today from the Trump campaign and what they mean in terms of especially Pennsylvania. Looks like a lot of folks that they anticipated would be voting are not women, Latinos, everyone. Talk to us about those numbers.

Yeah, Bo, these are huge. This is a brand new memo that just dropped from the Trump campaign. And it shows, based on this early voting data, that two major groups, African-Americans, and you also look at the urban vote there, and females, are not voting, not coming out and voting the way that they anticipated. In fact, the numbers are extremely low compared to what they were in 2020. Keep in mind, especially in these battleground states, these are two demographics that typically do vote early. It's spelling...

major news for the Democrats. And here in my home state in Pennsylvania, typically people still vote on Election Day, which of course is tomorrow. It's a tradition, many people taking off work. And that's really what we need here in Pennsylvania is people coming out physically casting ballots. And I believe we're going to see that tomorrow on Election Day here in Pennsylvania.

Yeah, and Michelle, I do want to talk about how critical Pennsylvania is going to be to this election. We've been talking throughout the day about how it carries 19 electoral votes. I mean, that's going to—that carries a lot of weight. That's going to be significant. When we look at the RCP data—I know you're our polling superstar there, Michelle, so I know you know what I'm talking about—Trump is up 0.3 points in Pennsylvania. I mean, that is razor thin. We've been talking about this throughout the day. When it comes to the polling, how accurate—

Do you think that is? Do you think that this is as tight of a race as it seems to be in the polls? We have both candidates on the ground in Pennsylvania today, so they certainly are putting a lot of weight on this state.

Yeah, that's exactly it. It's the most electoral votes out of any single battleground state. But here's what I always say. Take the polling with a grain of salt. There are so many contingencies, right? You look at the polling that just came out this weekend from The New York Times in which they admitted they heavily oversampled Democrats. You look at the Seltzer poll out of Iowa, which I think is bogus. She completely lost her credibility there. Some of this polling is not accurate. I always go for averages. If that at the end of the day, and this is what I've been telling everybody, ignore the polls.

ignore your friends, ignore the sentiment. What we need is people physically getting out and casting ballots. Now, I can tell you what I see on the ground here just from speaking to people, social media, from the lines behind me and going all across the Keystone State here. But at the end of the day, what's going to matter is casting ballots. Now, those early voting data numbers that we just saw drop, that's

sells bad news for Democrats. You also see Kamala Harris losing with some key demographics that she should be winning. For instance, a new poll came out that she's losing the Muslim vote to Green Party candidate Jill Stein. You look at Michigan, which is a blue wall state she needs to win, and she's losing the Muslim vote, Muslim population, the biggest in the nation there in Michigan, Dearborn specifically. So there are some troubling signs. Yet again, though,

I don't want to be too cocky here. I think everyone needs to get out on Election Day and vote. Pennsylvania is going to be what decides all of this. This is going to be the critical state that wins it. As I said earlier, Trump needs Georgia. If he can just get Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, it's good. There's so much involved here, but I truly do believe Pennsylvania is Trump country. Knocking on wood, everybody get out and vote.

Yeah, right now, Michelle, you know, you and I talk about the RCP aggregate all the time. They still haven't. It's been like this for a while. Trump advanced at 287 to Harrison Walls is 251. But you take Pennsylvania out of that mix and you flip it and it's a completely different result. So to talk more about those underperforming numbers with women and African-Americans, it's

Is the Harris campaign thinking, since they've underestimated this or maybe overestimated the amount of women and African-Americans that would support, that they're going to come out tomorrow? Is that why they're bringing out Fat Joe and J-Lo and all these people thinking, oh, they'll just show up tomorrow? Or is there legitimate panic in their camp that maybe they're not going to show up tomorrow because she doesn't have the enthusiasm?

Well, listen, when you're taking advice, political advice from Katy Perry, Fat Joe or Lady Gaga, I think that you should be panicking because celebrities know nothing about the average day American. I'll say that till the day I die. But I'll tell you what, I think so long Democrats have heavily relied on identity politics. And we've talked about it multiple times. You should vote Democrat because you're black. You should vote Democrat because you're a woman. And I think people are starting to wake up and realize we voted Democrat. And what has that gotten us? What

has the party done for us? I think the pendulum is starting to swing back over. Now, the big issue that Kamala Harris and the Democrats have sold themselves on, of course, is abortion. And if you talk with Kamala Harris voters, they'll say abortion, which, again, we could go into that. It's an irrelevant argument because Kamala Harris isn't going to be doing anything to help that argument if she is elected president. However, if you ask them other reasons, it's just that they hate Trump.

That's really what it comes down to. It's either abortion or that they just hate Trump and Trump is bad. Never any actual reason. So I think that a lot of people, if they didn't come out and vote for Kamala Harris or aren't tomorrow, they're just not going to vote.

And I do want to quickly touch on these endorsements, Michelle. I mean, you made a good point. You take advice from Katy Perry. You know, if you vote for Kamala, you got the support of people like her and like Lizzo. But we were talking about this with Steve Gruber. The other side, the Republicans, you vote for Trump, you're getting RFK Jr., you're getting Tulsi Gabbard. I mean, you get a ton of rock stars and it really does seem like the unity party. Have you been talking to voters on the ground about that?

Yeah, people love seeing everyone come together. I've seen a lot of Maha hats make America healthy again. So, you know, our case specifically is really tapping into a new demographic that I've never seen fully get involved in politics. And that's a lot of suburban moms, a lot of wellness influencers, a lot of people in that culture as well. So it's really cool to see this unifying movement. And then, of course, you have Tulsi Gabbard. She spoke yesterday in Lancaster talking about how the fact

If Kamala Harris isn't president, she's sending your kids to war. She's not going to war. Her kids aren't going to war, but your kids are going to go to war. So Liz Cheney can get another dollar in her pocket and everyone else. That's what's on the line here. And that's, again, it goes back to the fact that the Democratic Party is so out of touch with typical Americans. And I think people are waking up to this. I mean, you look at that Taylor Swift endorsement, right? A lot of people thought, oh, this is going to carry a lot of weight. I don't think

it really did that much. I don't think it swayed anyone from Trump to Kamala or independent voters. I mean, Taylor Swift flies a private jet around everywhere and emits more carbon fuels than any of us while she tells you to drink from a paper straw.

You know, you mentioned, Michelle, you've got Tulsi Gabbard, you have Robert F. Kennedy Jr., you have Elon Musk, who undoubtedly will probably change the minds of a lot of young people. I believe this past weekend you might have been at the Penn State game and you talked with Vivek Ramaswamy. I'm curious to know, specifically among the younger voters, the collegiate voters, what kind of an attitude you got or leaning into where you think they may be voting in Pennsylvania?

Well, I'll tell you what, I went to Penn State and I was actually in school in 2016 during the first time President Trump ran. And I'll tell you what, you did not wear your MAGA hat out on campus because you would get hit. You'd get assaulted verbally. I mean, you just didn't do it. I was scared to do it. Of course, you know, that's how the silent majority came to be. A lot of us that were worried to be vocal about our support and the fact that we're Republicans. When I was at Penn State, I was scared to do it.

I was at Penn State this weekend. I had on my black MAHA hat, or MAGA hat, the same one Elon Musk wears. I got so many high fives from college kids, kids asking me to buy the hat. They said, "Name your price." But when I talked with Vic specifically, I asked him why he thinks he's so popular with the Gen Zers and the Gen Z vote. And he said that it's somewhat of a revolution.

A lot of kids waking up and realizing that what's going on in society isn't the way that they want to live their lives. I mean, there's never been such an important election because this decides the future of our country and the way that we take this country in fairness.

All right, Michelle, well, thank you so much. We are eagerly anticipating former President Trump to take the stage at his rally in Reading. I know he's going to be over there in Pittsburgh with you later on tonight, so we'll continue to check back in with you. Thank you so much for sharing all of your insight with us, Michelle. We look forward to having you back on the couch with us soon after this election. Yeah, she looks cold in Pittsburgh. Very different from West Palm. This is my home state, guys. This is my home city. I couldn't be happier.

- Oh, well we'd love to see it. Beautiful smile, Michelle. - Love you guys. - Thanks Michelle. - All right, thank you. - Well, we are in a pivotal election year. 2024 is a battle for the soul of America.

We'll be back in just a moment. ♪♪♪

All right, well, welcome back to Real America's Voice. President Trump is just about to take the stage at his rally in Redding, Pennsylvania. Any moment now, Beau, we've been eagerly anticipating his speech today. We definitely want to check in with our correspondent Tara Dahl, who is there on the ground at the rally. Tara, what are you seeing with the crowd? Are they fired up? Are they ready to hear from the former president?

Yeah, they are fired up. They have been fired up since early this morning. And the president is anticipated to come soon. He was supposed to be here at 2, but he should be taking the stage anytime. But I want to just comment on something that stuck out to me when the women for Trump were speaking, when Laura Trump was speaking. And she asked the crowd here, guys, how many people have already voted and how many people are going to be voting tomorrow.

And the majority of the people here raised their hands to be voting tomorrow. So that tells you that even when we're looking at the early vote and how significantly advanced the GOP is, when you look at 2016, the GOP led in eight counties here in Pennsylvania for early voting. 2024, the GOP is leading in 40 counties.

counties. But yet, even when you ask how many people have voted early, more people sound like in this arena that they're voting tomorrow, which is very good because the GOP usually has a better turnout on election day. So that's why it's so important that anyone that can vote still needs to go to the polls to vote because that is going to change the election. So every single vote counts, but there's still 60% of American people across the nation that have not voted yet.

yeah 1.7 million people have voted in pennsylvania and tara i believe the new york times released a figure that something like almost 75 million people nationwide have already cast an early ballot which is interesting to me because you got a lot of you know this may be conditioning from the pandemic emily i don't know if it's people because jd vanta's saying vote early vote often uh i'm not really certain like i don't know if we'll have to see what happens uh afterwards but tara do you anticipate in pennsylvania for instance

that there's going to be any funny business, any vulnerabilities where we might not know what happens in Pennsylvania until, I hate to say this, but Thursday, Friday? Or do you think it may be more determined tomorrow night? You know, I did, if you asked me that a week ago, I would have said, I don't think we're going to know the results until probably a week just because of what we saw in 2020. But I think that President Trump is going to win in such a landslide if people go out and vote, if people turn out.

Tomorrow, they have to turn out. I think he's going to win in such a landslide that he will. You'll see it by the end of tomorrow night. I think that on Wednesday, you know that you're going to have a very litigated, the most they're saying litigated election in history. So I think you'll wake up on Wednesday and the Democrats will launch a lot of lawsuits. But I think we will know. I think we will know tomorrow. And it will be a significant win for President Trump if

People go out and vote because you have to be able to swamp the vote, right? We need to have those just millions more votes to make sure that we can win this election.
