Two lane highway. One.
Once again, we are out on the road. Hi, everybody. How are you? So we're working for you. Working for, working for, working for you. So we're a little bit late, but sorry, I just got, we took an Amtrak from Washington, D.C., and now we are in Pennsylvania, and we're headed to Lancaster, and we're going to get some information for you. So good morning. How are you guys doing? Where are you guys? Good morning. Don from Georgia says, Dorothy, how are you? Good morning. I'm so glad that you guys are here. Welcome to our Hot Topics, and we have one big Hot Topic today, maybe plus, maybe one Hot Topic plus, okay? So thanks for joining us. Thanks for being so patient. I know you guys understand this is really crunch time when it comes to the election, and I'm out here where the action is because I'm trying to get you to understand what's going on, to have a better understanding of what's going on, also to take you to
Good morning from Dallas, Dee Price, I'm so glad that you're here. Happy Hump Day to you, Cyn, as well. Jamie from Los Angeles, I'm so glad that you're here. Ashanti from Biloxi, Mississippi, I'm glad that you're here too, and Mary from the DMV. Everyone, Margie from New York, Orlando, Kryptek is from Orlando. New Jersey from Blackfriars. Taylor talking about all of the whole garbage things. Okay, we're going to talk all about garbage.
Where is Don reporting from and why is Pennsylvania important for the election?
Good morning, Tony from Fort Worth. Okay, so let me get you up to date on what's going on. As you know, the Vice President did a closing message. I'm sure there will be another message coming before Election Day. But what is believed, good morning, Cherry Hill, New Jersey, Al. What is believed to be our closing message? With confidence. Seventy five thousand people, an overflow crowd, not only at the White House, but on the national in front of the National Monument. Unbelievable. I just want to show you how many people were there. And then I'm going to tell you because the other guy is not happy about it. But here's what last night, the crowd and the vice president. Check it out.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you, everyone. Look at that. So that's a lot of folks. And what you saw there, just so you know, what you saw there was just at the White House. Not everybody could fit in there. And so they had that overflow crowd on the mall. Did you guys watch it? People are saying there are mixed head counts. This is according to the campaign that it was 75,000 people, okay? So I know that, you know, everybody's going to have their own thing. But... That's what they say. Seventy five thousand people. That's a lot of folks who were there last night. OK, so listen, Donald Trump is claiming, you know, he's upset because there are large crowds. He's saying, oh, you know, I had the biggest crowds. He is now saying my crowds were bigger than that in Butler, Pennsylvania.
So I've got the biggest crowds. He is he is an issue with numbers and sizes. Here it is.
To Butler, we had 107,000 people in Butler. Can you imagine? We had 107,000 people in Butler celebrating the life of a great gentleman, a great fireman, Corey, a great firefighter and respected guy.
So there you go. And again, that's been disputed because 107,000 people cannot fit in the venue in the place where he was. So there we go. The news said 100,000 at the Kamala Harris rally. I don't know. 100 billion says Danny. Exactly. What the heck? So just like he said the other night that there were, I forget how many people, 70, 90, whatever thousand people at Madison Square Garden. Madison Square Garden only fits 20,000 people. Okay. So there you go. So I saw one of the things saying that she was very presidential. Yes, I will have to agree. She was very presidential. I do have to tell you, I was in Washington, D.C. last night. I was doing a focus group and a panel with men, black men, and the discussion was fantastic.
We're going to put that up for you on the channel and you're going to be able to hear. There were people there who were Democrats, Democratic, very liberal-leaning men. There were centrist men there, independents.
