michelle obama was statement, do something. and i went down to the board of elections here in st. louis to secure voter registration cards so i can register my neighbors. i go to my community. i always have a card with me when i'm out and about. and i share my opinion in a respectful manner to try to convince others to do so. and i and i earmarked for mn $100 a month to give, but i'm so upset that there's so much money needed to run for these elections. you get one and then they bombard you with e-mails, text

messages. give, give, give. and it is disgusting and help when democratsgu go back in we o back in and make changes. we need at people to the supreme court, the c-span to be honest and to get rid of the electoral college. >> host: here is joe republican ellijay georgia. hi, joe. >> caller: yes. i very fired up about donald trump. i think you will be elected with the biggest landslide in history. i'm calling a lot of national shows like yours. down here in georgia working for trump but i think he's going to win. i think be the greatest president for the stock market, for the economy in history and we're getting everybody where i live fired up. i f think it's going to be a landslide for donald john trump and a want to predict the stock market will break your record in

history with donald john trump as president presidenp and i predict he will win in a huge landslide. >> host:i how are you working for him? how are you getting the vote out? >> caller: i'mm calling, i'm calling talk shows and country. call your state and and i pn calling all of them and tell them i'm strongly supporting trump. i'm doing a lot of national talkshows calling into the show and saying vote for donald john trump if you want the best president in history because the stock market and economy -- >> host: your state is a swing state. are you in georgia talking to your friends and your neighbors? what you saying to them? >> caller: i'm talking to everybody i can talk to because i and so fired up for trump i'm having a hard time sleeping but i am happy and i'm convinced he will have landslide win at a love your network. in calling c-span for at least 30 years. y'all do a great job and i

appreciate you so much, letting the conservative, let me view my conservative views across the great nation. >> host: let's talk to todd necks, california, independent. your next. >> caller: good morning. >> host: good morning. what do you think? >> caller: i'm voting for trump i don't think he's going to win because i think the media has done a very good job of disguising harris viewpoints as mainstream editing a lot of people unfortunately are going to fall for that. i also think, i hope trump is going to win but it think he's not going to. he keeps making unnecessary inflammatory statements, you know, such as the claim about haitians eating pets, which hasn't been verified. or he will talk about harris'

race or caller communist. if he would just stick to emigration and the economy and stop making inflammatory statements, i think he would win. >> host: tell us why youou are a donald trump supporter. why do you want to vote for him? >> caller: because he's going to secure the southern border. because illegal criminals and drugs are point in and the hurting and killing americans. and then also he's going to get inflation down. because he is pro-fossil fuels, and if we drill for oil and we export oil, then that means that the manufacturers are paying less to transport of goods and services, which means the prices will come down on everything. >> host: all right. daniel is next, orlando, florida, democrat morning. >> caller: yeah.

[inaudible] really concern that kamala harris will not win primarily because you were looking at specifically the gen z vote. i think there's a lot of excitement and enthusiasm come out of that demographic, but i think getting them actually to go to the polls and vote as a whole different aspect of the campaign. i don't think they are doing well enough. >> host: daniel, are you gen z? >> caller: i'm a little bit past it. i'm 29 now, but i mean if you look at the recent, taylor swift endorsement, hopefully l that helps but, i mean, also you have to remember there were a lot of these efforts on the right to actually trick gen z voters. we seem the 2016 campaign that

there were massive tax sent out claiming come telling you could vote for hillary clinton just by texting a vote to this number. of course there was a scam and the estimate that several thousand of votes were put through that way which obviously they were not real votes. when you look at the swing states, that trump barely one, it could be said that perhaps those gen z voters wanted to vote -- [inaudible] >> host: looks like we lost daniel. i wanted to show you this from the "new york post" with the headline,"t battleground state polls spell great news for trump campaign but down ballot candidates struggle. it says the latest battleground surveys suggest donald trump will return to the white house and swing state voters will pave the way.

they are citing an emerson college polling conducted between september 15-18. seven battleground states says the former president leads in five of those seven, would get 281 votes if the map holds up. it says this, it's not all good news for republicans though. despite voter saying you are backing trump, majorities in each state thinkit harris will win. 53% of north carolinians, 52% of michiganders, 51% in arizona, georgia 1% in arizona, georgia, pennsylvania, wisconsin 50% of nevada voters believe democrats will hold the white house about how they personally vote. here's a recent ad that was released from the harris-walz campaign. >> i've never spent a full night in my entire life. >> i was five when my stepfather abused me for the first time. i felt like i was alone on a

planet with a monster. >> i was 12 and he impregnated me. >> i just remember thinking i had to get out of my skin. i can't be me right now. like this can't be it. >> i did know what to do. i was a child. i didn't know what it meant to be pregnant at all. but i had options. because donald trump overturn roe v. wade, girls and women all over the country have lost the right to choose. even for rapee or incest, donald trump did this. he took away our freedom. >> on, , hares and i approve ths message. >> host: william, laguna woods california, republican. good morning. >> caller: good morning. it's agu good to talk to you. i've been aca fan of c-span throughout my entire life and i

know becoming totally er not although i don't feel like i am. but this is a great service you are doing. i'm one of your unique callers. i am a lifelong conservative republican and from a republican activist family. never got paid for any of their volunteer work but we always a good republicans. but i'm voting for kamala harris this year for this reason. and i also should note that happen to be a plaintiffs trial lawyer. donald trump has no regard for the truth. he is a demagogue of the highest order and thiss country's going to to hell in a handbasket if he is elected. and i try to bring up this message to my friends, colleagues. i don't care what your party affiliation is. i'm telling my good republican friends that this is going to be a watershed year, for sure. we're going to go down the

toilet if trump wins. thank you for very much for letting me get out this message. >> host: here is a way in jamaica, new york, independent. >> caller: good morning, mimi. i happen to be a black male, independent anglican new york city and the media has focused that black males are not voting for kamala harris, and the wrong. i happen to the one that will vote for her. listen to trump and the conservative right. it seems like this country is out of control and it's scaring for america to look at what they are saying. i don't see it that way. i see kamala harris coming in and putting a little calm and ease to it. i would hate to see the old force of trump and his minions come in and, stephen miller, all of these characters come back into office and destroy this country. ..

you tell us how old you are? >> i am 59 years old. >> in recent interview philadelphia vice president harris was asked about the support of young black men is what she said. >> it's important to not operate from the motion docket. any other voting group so i'm

working to earn the vote not assuming going to have it because i am black but because the policies and the perspective i have understand what we must do recognize the needs of all communities and i intend to be a president for all people specifically as it relates around economic opportunity. i started way before i was top of the ticket and economic opportunity to her focused on black men, understanding that for example, we have so many entrepreneurs in the community who do not have access to capital great ideas, incredible work ethic. ambition aspiration don't have the relationship so my work as vice president giving billions to community banks including big

banks to do that so we can increase access to capital. part of my plans going forward is that right now small businesses only get $5000. so i am extending that to 50000 understanding, people have the opportunity to have the resources to get started part of this is just like any group of people small businesses are the backbone of rural and when they do better economically, we all do better. >> the text indiana because i am

certain will win the popular vote by fear trouble when the electoral college. truly a democracy where every vote counts. nonaffiliated photo kamala harris every day. if you want more inflation, crime, illegals entering our country, week national defense, then vote for the democrat i and voting for trump. independent-minded. >> i think she's going to win because abortion is a big thing and she got union backers. people die in georgia, they can have operations, doctors are getting sued in less the same for. if you do an operation, you are.

she's got so many celebrities all over the country and in georgia they will get sued and died on the operating table so the union vote and january 6 israel and mike pence as vice president and/develop and another $5 trillion tax cut millionaires and billionaires and social security and where

you get all of the money the tax like last time, a liar and has always been a liar and while all its businesses. >> we got you. >> is father gave $140 million. >> the board of unions, reuters this is on the bills.com does this local teamsters unions in key battleground states endorsed harris you can read more about that you want more on that. good morning. >> i'm trying to get myself together.

we did felon a proven flyer and will tell you is going to do and threats have been put out in ohio. running for office and should be settling in jail. he's a criminal. a narcissist thank you for

taking my call. >> independent. >> wow, he let me get on. i'm confident talking about local congressional race because of the 22nd ticket district gerrymandering and i'm confident because last saturday in the parking lot the republican county was reduced to speak cream donuts in the parking lot so they are broke and ready and

i think they are broken because of donald trump american presidency. >> the incumbent is a republican he lived outside of it before he was elected. gerrymandering incident so now he lives in the very district he represents. the democrat is a very well respected now retired science teacher and he was retired,

currently a state senator for the house. the local county republican party krispy kreme donuts. >> take a look at the national race. what are you thinking that way? >> it's harris. one reason -- two reasons. hope and joy. finally. people seem to be engaged not because they are mad. because they are back in the ballgame realizing what they do in the course of this race will

ultimately make a difference so they are not depressed, they are energized, back of off the mat. >> look at the new york times this is trump says if he loses and has a lot to do with it. anti-semitism in america, donald trump again for democrats saying the party has a cold or a curse on you. >> of said long and loud and especially the last few years anybody jewish and he loves being jewish and votes israel is a fool if they vote for a democrat.

>> democrat or, especially because this is the worst ever, this makes obama hussein looks like he loved israel by comparison. he should have your head examined. unceasing body or to deliberate the jewish state. they want to drive jews out of the holy land. >> four more points to win for republicans.

politicians start to wake up, the people who toil for this country should not the democracy. pat in philadelphia says i think trump will win because the restaurant have the same opportunity in the selection like they did last time. >> good morning. thank you for taking my call. we are energized and averted comments hope and joy from of the same thing here in ohio.

we also have to flip the ohio supreme court because we have these amendments in the constitution that the legislature and supreme court simply ignore we are fired up and ohio working hard, i work -- volunteer of the ohio democratic party so i see a lot of enthusiasm for people. we are having a hard time because we have, i'm sure it's printed in china. >> tommy about the argument you make when you talk to undecided

voters, what you say? >> the lines are well drawn. >> voting to take your daughters rights away. >> of everybody is decided, what you tell people that may be desired not to vote? >> personally i have a list of the 179 swing voters in my precinct where i live and am

ready to knock on doors and pass on information and make sure people realize voting for kamala harris is important but putting down valid is just as important as we have to get rid of the republicans in the state house and local government. >> republicans. hi, carla. >> the announcement harris, the young lady that did horrible things to her. did she have her abortion at the request?

trump didn't take anybody's rights away. trump elected to the state. >> she did have an abortion but that was before the dobbs decision. >> what she's doing and advertisement. they are fine. i'm just saying that abortion left to the states to decide. you had three months to decide if you want to an abortion or not. for the states are taking over again. the states decide i am not

antiabortion, rape or incest. >> coming back to our question, i assume you support donald trump, do you think he's going to win? >> i think he will, i just think everybody is saying he lied, he's a big fat liar. i washed the debate and have never seen him. if you want to go back and look at the results of the fact checking and trump twice or three times on on stage and the blood that situation for the other things that had nothing to do claiming what it had to do with so people are confused. i understand that and you know

your heart, follow your heart. if you are doing well with your economy, your electric bill is too high, if you feel you need somebody strong, i would vote trump. >> got it. independent. good morning. >> thank you for taking my call. first of all, you have footage of a girl who said she was raped by her stepfather and it was kamala harris but donald trump supported exception.

in a want to be hung up, i coming here and i hear people who said earlier i don't want to ramble so she did. anti- trump verse can talk and they are not hung up. can i make a few points and not be hung up on flex. >> you are on no. >> okay, here's one thing. i have a lot of good friends from new york who are patient 2000 ohio. i don't believe the story but

even european countries, that the happen. when people are hungry, they get desperate but how many haitians there, how many have died? i don't think they are being hurt or injured, though they have cell phones but. >> i want to say one more thing, don't hang up on me. none of them have died but defendant how many african-americans have died? donald trump is going to do

something about it. donald trump gave many millions of dollars to black colleges let young men out of prison were arrested for making a mistake at a young age and what are they doing? you never hear on this show, what about the poverty where they have their invention -- direct you think donald trump will win the election? >> i like donald trump. what i get aggravated with donald trump is he tends to ramble as many old people do -- i'm pretty old, to.

ramble on and say offensive things and i would like to tell him, talk less about yourself. >> good morning. >> morning. i was here illinois in the attempt to biden dropped off the ballot because of the mentally deficient and the democrats continued to put on this show that he was competent and isn't that very much. >> you talk about the 2020 election for the primary. >> i'm talking about the primary election here in illinois and the democratic party was all for biden. what is wrong? or even put two words together

that make sense and mumbled all the time and falling on his face. that was the democratic party which they would put up for us and now they give us harris? ridiculous. >> what you think is going to win? >> i have my objection with donald trump, too. donald trump is about and paid for politician owned by the jewish lobby. he says nothing about what happened the palestinian people and i know a lot of palestinians in the chicago area and they probably one time make the trip to gaza and see what the jews have done their. it is outrageous both parties, democrats and republican's are tied into the jewish lobby.

>> if you recall the uncommitted group in michigan this is the uncommitted group will endorse harris going to michigan. rows of efforts uncommitted in the primary as a means of processing joe biden's in the israel amounts were but urged against. uncommitted national movement. the lengthy statement.

>> good morning. >> you are on. >> waiting to ask a question like do you think your candidate will open next. >> i know my candidate will win. >> why? donald trump -- i almost changed her name to the democrat. they call my phone claiming they are so great, don't answer those. go ahead usually don't call back.

good morning. a roller coaster of holes. i used to be republican up until 1998. i will be voting for harris again, she's not my candidate but i feel this abortion issue is was going to take her over the top. the reason is we show a party you're in, if you are a woman, nobody's going to tell you what to do and it is unfair when pro-life supporters take a position because it's a one-sided deal for all practical

purposes pro-choice allows for growth life people to be able to exist there are republican women who don't want to get in arguments with their friends and silently will vote for harris. i think harris is going to win by more than 10 million votes. not only that like another previous color, what concerns me is we live in a democracy, popular vote when. electoral college. american antidemocracy so is

very much. >> real here politics with the latest and they advocate here. this is nationally right now at 4.9. 47.4 for trump and still within the margin of error. here's a recent football hall of famer former president trump endorsed. >> america needs donald trump more now than ever secure the borders, and inflation, make america great again. nothing is more important than when it hangs ballots. and for president trump will be successful and make america great again.

remember, we are donald trump. >> in silver spring, maryland. good morning. >> calling in, i for $1500. give me a break. tell him to take the jewish lobby and stick it -- >> our question is, do you think your candidate is going to win? assuming you are with kamala harris, do you think she's going to win and november? >> if it's a legitimate election, yes but i don't trust any of the republicans trying to

get involved in the nebraska election he should be thrown out of the senate once and for all. thanks. you all are great. bye-bye. >> bonnie in virginia, good morning. >> my candidate is the green party candidate jill stein. 40% of democrat before biden dropped out, those who don't want the candidate and they didn't want that person. if they would vote people say on the couch, we get out and vote for the third break candidate. because of israeli genocidal war

in palestine. it is genocide according to the international court of justice. our government is continuing to spread weapons of war. republican and party are bankrupt and if everybody would just open their eyes and let the scales drop off from their eyes then jill stein, i believe the end of october and liberties when, they both were eloquent saying we got to stop the genocide. that was october and now it's a year from now than. >> not to cut you off but you know if you heard me the article

about the uncommitted group michigan supporting with the urged people were donald trump or their party in the how do you react to that? >> i cannot morally vote for either of those two parties right now on the top of the ticket. let the chips fall where they make. i do not want to see from their for obvious reasons.
