Philadelphia Radio Hosts Believe in Increasing Risk of Voter Fraud in Upcoming Election

Fueling the discussion are three rulings by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. The decisions extend the deadline for accepting mail ballots, allow voters to submit their ballots through drop boxes, and remove the Green Party’s candidate for president from the ballot.

Some Philadelphia radio personalities are adding to the speculation that there will be excessive voter fraud during the upcoming election, according to left-leaning publication Media Matters.

Fueling the discussion are three rulings by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. The decisions extend the deadline for accepting mail ballots, allow voters to submit their ballots through drop boxes, and remove the Green Party’s candidate for president from the ballot.

Trump campaign staffer Mike Roman recently appeared on The Dom Giordano Program on Talk Radio 1210 WPHT and theorized that antifa was planning to destroy Trump ballots at election offices. “They feel even if they get caught the punishment will be minimal, and they’ll be celebrated the rest of their lives as part of the resistance to stop the evil one Trump. So, anything is possible here.”

In 2016, Roman was hired by Donald Trump to provide election protection after Trump insisted that dead people and immigrants are voting in the United States.

Roman also appeared on Chris Stigall’s show on AM 990 The Answer. Stigall told Roman that there should be protections in place on election day at polling locations. “It’s a polling place. If people are casting votes, it’s a polling place. There’s no way to spin it and they’re trying because they don’t want to be seen doing whatever it is they’re doing in there.”

Rich Zeoli of Talk Radio 1210 WPHT there is a “motivation to make sure fake ballots get mailed.”

Dave Ramsey: ‘It Took Us a Little While to Get Good’ at ‘The Ramsey Way’

“It took us a while to get good at that. We sucked at it at first.”

Dave Ramsey has built a multi-million dollar company on a set of principles entitled The Ramsey Way. However, he admits it wasn’t easy to get that foundation set completely.

While discussing hiring and getting employees to operate in the manner he’d like them to with an entrepreneur during the EntreLeadership Podcast, Dave Ramsey shared with the contractor from Atlanta that he himself had to go through some trial and error to get his business working the way he envisioned it.

“We’ve got like a ‘Ramsey Way’ to do things. So if you come in and do sales, and you’re a good salesman, that’s different than doing sales at Ramsey,” the company founder said. “And so you’re gonna walk with one of our salespeople for a little while, and you gotta learn the ‘Ramsey Way’ to make that sale.”

Dave Ramsey admitted the process takes time, and Ramsey Solutions is proof of that.

“It took us a while to get good at that. We sucked at it at first. And so we would have salespeople doing sales five different ways. And we had all these inconsistencies and different kinds of complaints from different kinds of customers, depending on who their rep was,” said Ramsey. “Somebody can function within their personality, but we’ve got some core tenants on accounting, some core tenants on project management, and some core tenants on sales.”

Megyn Kelly: Don Lemon Made ‘Absurd’ Demands During Negotiations With Elon Musk

“Nobody in history has asked to be the first person in space and for full editorial control for news decisions made.”

Don Lemon recently saw his contract with the Elon Musk-owned X platform canceled after a contentious interview with the billionaire. Megyn Kelly alleges there was more to it than the interview conduct, however.

According to various reports, Don Lemon asked Elon Musk for an $8 million annual salary, with $5 million paid upfront. He also reportedly asked for an equity stake in the company, veto power over its news policies and hirings, a free Tesla Cybertruck, and the option to host the first podcast from space. Lemon initially denied that he made the demands, before admitting they were all part of the negotiation.

While discussing how far Lemon’s new digital video program has fallen after his initial interview with Musk on The Megyn Kelly Show, she shared that the contract demands made by the former CNN host were ridiculous, in her opinion.

After playing a clip of Don Lemon appearing on The Tamron Hall Show where the pair agreed that you make outlandish demands while negotiating contracts, Kelly decried the practice.

“That is absurd! Trust me, as somebody who actually has negotiated several contracts in cable news and broadcast news, it’s exactly the opposite of what you do. You make a demand that is reasonable — that you think you could get…but you don’t want to make yourself look like an a–hole. You’re off on a new foot with your employer, you don’t want to make yourself look like an a–hole,” Kelly reiterated.

“Nobody in history has asked to be the first person in space and for full editorial control for news decisions made. Like, maybe Rachel Maddow has that at MSNBC, ’cause she appears to be running the joint. But Don Lemon at Twitter?! When (Elon Musk) is resurrecting him from the dead?! The hubris!”

Ben Shapiro Addresses Exit of Candace Owens From The Daily Wire

“She’s free to do whatever she wants to do, and to be wherever she wants to be.”

Last week, Candace Owens departed The Daily Wire after a high-profile back-and-forth with the outlet’s co-founder, Ben Shapiro. He’s now speaking out about the end of the relationship.

While appearing on The Rubin Report with Dave Rubin, Shapiro agreed with Owens that she’s “free,” from The Daily Wire, he just disagrees with her sentiment that she was somehow muzzled at the company.

“She’s free to do whatever she wants to do, and to be wherever she wants to be,” said Ben Shapiro. “A platform should have a very broad range of speech that it allows, including speech that maybe even the creators don’t believe is inside what they would consider to be the Overton window.

“It’s a very different thing than direct subsidization of particular opinions. So The Daily Wire would not have a host — would not pay a host — who was staunchly pro-abortion, and would have no obligation to pay a host who is staunchly pro-abortion. So when it comes to the hosts on The Daily Wire, obviously, everyone was able to say what they want. Nobody ever comes to me and says, ‘You can’t say x,’ nobody ever says it to (Matt) Walsh and no one ever said that to Candace.”

He continued by noting there was a “non-meeting of the minds” that led to the exit of Candace Owens, but insisted there isn’t an issue with the outlet’s hosts ability to say what they wish.

“There’s no free speech problem with The Daily Wire. And we don’t wish to pay a particular host or that host saying ‘I don’t wish to work here anymore,’ because, again, there’s a parting of the ways that is not really open for discussion at this point.”

Ben Shapiro added that hosts at the outlet don’t have to worry about their jobs simply because they disagree with his opinion on a particular topic. He shared an anecdote that a similar situation recently arose with Matt Walsh.

“I can safely say (the departure of Candace Owens) is not about disagreements over Israel,” he said. “Matt Walsh has taken the position that America ought not be involved in the Middle East at all. Now his position so far, as I understand it, and I’ve talked to him about it, is that in the conflict between Israel and Hamas, Israel is obviously a more moral party than the genocidal terrorist cause, but also it’s very far away. He doesn’t care, and it doesn’t involve America.

“That’s just a pure isolationist position. I disagree with that. I think it’s wrong, and I think that is short-sighted, but again, he’s on our platform that is well within the range of acceptable discourse at the Daily Wire. So the notion that you have to mirror my exact perspectives on what Israel is doing in Gaza is obviously not true based on the roster of hosts that we currently have. There are a lot of other factors obviously at play.”
