Well, good morning everybody. Welcome to Hot Topics. We have a surprise. Angela Porter is 50 today.

I want to vote again, says Thomas Aglione. Thomas, did you vote? Did you just turn your vote in already? Don Trolls Get Rolls, Bob Farrell. I guess there's a troll in here. Whatever.
Brooklyn's in the house, Ventress. California is Demetra Cephas is here from California. Kansas, Cindy D. is from Kansas. Chicago, Tiffany O. Oh, my gosh. You guys are in Louisiana. Fort Collins, Colorado. Marietta, Georgia. Wow. Peoria, Illinois. We're so glad that everyone is here this morning, okay? So a couple things that we're going to talk about. Did you miss it last night? The Democratic heavy hitters were out in force in defense of the Vice President Kamala Harris. They were out campaigning for her in Pennsylvania. Former President Barack Obama spoke directly to American men, characterized Donald Trump as cruel and self-centered, saying that he doesn't represent, and I quote here, real strength, okay?
And then Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro also took the stage last night. Barnburner of a speech. If you missed it, we're going to play a little bit of you. He is a great orator. And Barack Obama. It was interesting to see the two on stage together. And so fantastic stuff. Okay. Wow. Look, good morning. Good morning. Happy birthday to Angela Porter. Okay. 50 years old. Half a century. Angela, you're telling your age. Only because you put it in the chat am I doing it. Obama kicked butt, says Nubian goddess. Okay. So we'll see. We'll see. And maybe we can educate some of the folks who are here, some of the MAGA people who are on the stream and who are watching us. Thank you for watching us. We appreciate it. You're adding to our streamers list and to our numbers for people who are watching.
We appreciate it. And since you're here, MAGA folks, why don't you go ahead and hit the subscribe button and hit the thumbs up as well. We love that too. I love President Obama's speech, says Miss Ladybug. We're so happy that you're here again. So we're going to talk about that. Meanwhile, Vice President Harris took questions from undecided Latino voters in Las Vegas in a town hall last night. Unscripted format that she has used to show empathy with Americans while also making the case that her opponent does not care about the problems of the middle class. There's a whole thing out there. Conspiracy theories. She used a teleprompter. On and on and on. So we're going to do something a little bit unusual this morning for Hot Topics.
We have a live Hot Topic. You guys ready for the live Hot Topic? A live hot topic is none other than Mr. Brian Shapiro. Brian, good morning to you. Good morning, Don. Thanks for having me on. It's good to have you here. I'm glad that you're safe. The reason that Brian is our hot topic is because he attended the town hall in Las Vegas last night. And also, Brian is, I think, lucky to be here looking the way he looks. Consider that he was mobbed last night by some MAGA folks in the town hall parking lot, correct?
Yeah, right outside. Yep.
Yeah. So Brian, we're going to get to that because it's crazy. Again, we're glad that you're safe. We're glad that you survived that. I don't know if you were in jeopardy at any moment, but it certainly was heated. So Tuck, take us behind the scenes of this town hall because you were in the building last night. What was it like? What was the crowd like? What was the vice president like? And did she use a teleprompter as some conspiracy theorists on the right are positing?
Well, let me start with the latter there. Absolutely not. She did not use a teleprompter.
