| worry about President Joe Biden in the wake of his debate performance last week. | ||
| They are left with, I think, basically three scenarios. | ||
| The first is that Biden remains a presumptive nominee. | ||
| He's formally nominated by the party, the Democratic National Convention next month. | ||
| And he runs on what has been the best domestic policy presidency of my lifetime and the fact | ||
| he beat Trump before and the fact that Trump is essentially explicitly promising to end | ||
| the American constitutional republic as we know it. | ||
| That's number one. | ||
| The second is that Biden affirmatively decides to step aside. | ||
| And as he does, he endorses his vice president, Kamala Harris, as the top of the ticket at | ||
| the convention in 48 days. | ||
| The third is that Biden steps aside, and then there's no clear frontrunner or anointed one. | ||
| There's an open battle at the convention in August for the nomination in what's known as an open convention, something I haven't seen in 40 or 50 years. | ||
| So those are the three options Democrats have before them as November draws closer. | ||
| Obviously, which one they choose or happens is going to have enormous implications, not just for this election, as we said, but also for all of our future, the party, the country, the whole thing. | ||
|

|
And so the reality for us now is what do we do here, Joy? | |
| What do we as citizens do? | ||
| This is our 1776 moment in ways that I don't think a lot of us realize. | ||
| We have to reaffirm those principles that the founders left England over, that they felt were important enough to give up their families and their livelihoods to seek out a new land. | ||
| And we cannot allow this imperialist court Decide that one person is above all the laws of this land, that all he has to do is sit anywhere, anywhere in the world and say, this is an official act. | ||
| I deem this as an official moment and execute a policy or a whim. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| harms others, that impinges our freedoms, that takes away the privileges that we have | ||
| under the Constitution, and there's not a damn thing we can do about it? | ||
| And it's going to go to that court, who will then decide, well, you know what, actually, | ||
| yeah, he can, and there's nothing you can do about it. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| Ben Harnwell, live from Rome here, sitting in for Steve Bannon, Wollin host, who is presently | ||
| rotting away in one of Joe Biden's federal prisons. | ||
| We're up now with Mike Davis. | ||
| Folks, if you didn't catch the show yesterday, I'll just bring it to speed. | ||
| As a consequence of the Supreme Court's ruling on immunity, Judge Mershon has pushed forward the sentencing that was due for July the 11th to September the 18th. | ||
| Mike, what's going on in D.C. | ||
| right now in the continuing fallout after this epoch-changing Supreme Court ruling? | ||
| Yeah, well first you see, according to the New York Times, that President Biden is for the first time contemplating that he may not be able to stay on as the Democrat nominee if he does not perform strongly over the next several events, over the next several days, including the George Stephanopoulos to interview on ABC. | ||
| They had to bring in a former top Clinton advisor for a pre-taped interview that they'll no doubt | ||
| slice and dice to make Biden look more lucid than he actually is. | ||
| So you have that political problem. | ||
| The problem though is it is gonna be very difficult to get rid of Joe Biden, | ||
| A, unless he voluntarily steps down, because if he doesn't voluntarily step down, | ||
| you're gonna have some serious legal, political and financial obstacles. | ||
| The legal obstacles are we're past the deadlines for putting people on the ballot in states | ||
| and the upcoming deadlines are approaching very quickly. | ||
| Financially, Joe Biden has $200 million or close to $200 million cash on hand. | ||
| He can't just hand that to any candidate he wants. | ||
| I think he can give it to Kamala under the federal election laws. | ||
| But that's about it. | ||
| And that leads to the third problem. | ||
| Politically, Kamala Harris is a disaster as a vice president. | ||
| She actually kind of makes Joe Biden look relatively not horrible as president compared to her as vice president. | ||
| That tells you how bad she is. | ||
| I got the pleasure of working with her on the Senate Judiciary Committee, and she's just as incompetence off camera as she is on camera. | ||
| And so what are they going to do? | ||
| Are they going to pass over the first black and first female vice president and bring in Gavin Newsom, a white dude from California? | ||
| It's just, these aren't good options. | ||
| But I would say to the War Room Posse, don't get complacent, right? | ||
| We have to make sure that we're registering people to vote, that we're getting people to get them out to vote, to vote as early as possible. | ||
| Bank your vote, because if you thought The BLM and Antifa riots were bad in 2020. | ||
| Wait for the Hamas riots in 2024, where people are scared to death to vote on Election Day. | ||
| Wait for the Hamas riots in 2024 where they make it where people are scared to death to vote on election day. | ||
| So vote as early as you can and bank your vote and do the same thing with your like-minded friends, family and | ||
| neighbors. | ||
| And on to the legal issue that you brought up on Judge Marchand. | ||
| He moved the sentencing date back to September 18th. | ||
| I think even Judge Marchand knows that this Democrat welfare and election interference, this Biden Democrat House of Cards is crumbling and crumbling fast. | ||
| That Supreme Court decision between the Fisher case, which largely knocked out 204 of Jack Smith's charges against President Trump and D.C. | ||
| for January 6, along with this presidential immunity case, there's not going to be much left. | ||
| of these cases when that's done. | ||
| And I think Judge Mershawn understands that. | ||
| One of the key errors that Judge Mershawn and Soros-funded DA Alvin Bragg and former Obama and Biden political operative Matthew Colangelo made in this case is that they made many reversible errors. | ||
| There's no doubt this case will get reversed on appeal. | ||
| Trump will not be a convicted felon when this is all done. | ||
| He's not a convicted felon right now. | ||
| The jury's found him guilty. | ||
| The judge is not convicted and sentenced. | ||
| And I don't know if this judge will ever convict him and sentence him now. | ||
| He may have to try to declare a mistrial because he allowed in evidence in that case conversations | ||
| between President Trump and his senior White House officials, including his deputy chief | ||
| of staff for operations, along with Hope Hicks, one of his senior communications aides, that | ||
| this judge and these prosecutors let in conversations that were subject to presidential immunity. | ||
| They're not allowed in as evidence and the Supreme Court just made that very clear in the presidential immunity case. | ||
| So I think Judge Berchand knows he's going to have to declare a mistrial and so that whole case is going to go out. | ||
| They may have to start the The proceedings from scratch with a grand jury and a trial, they're not going to be able to get Trump tried and convicted in New York before the election. | ||
| So this lawfare is, I think it's toast. | ||
| Mike, I want to ask you a question now that I'll ask Matt Boyle when he comes on straight after you. | ||
| Steve Bannon, I think one of his last public pronouncements before being carted off into one of Joe Biden's federal prisons, was that he said is now basically incumbent on the Republican Party to make this transfer as difficult as possible for the Democrats when | ||
| they throw Joe Biden under the bus and put in someone else, that the Republicans have | ||
| to make that process as difficult as possible for them. | ||
| Now, in your, there in D.C. talking to people, soundings, do you see any evidence that the | ||
| GOP is even gearing up to make that process difficult for the Democrats? | ||
| Well, in fairness to the GOP, I would say when, when you have a civil war amongst your, | ||
| your enemy neighbors, just sit back and let them kill each other. | ||
| Don't give them an excuse to blame you instead of each other. | ||
| So I think right now, let's just watch The Democrat Civil War, let's just watch these Democrat cannibals eat each other. | ||
| Let's let them contort themselves into how they're going to try to skip over the first black and first female vice president because she's such a disaster. | ||
| Their DEI, Equity Affirmative Action Pick, you know, this is Exhibit A, why you should not pick someone simply because of their skin pigment or their genitals or their attraction | ||
| to genitals or their perception of genitals. Those aren't qualifications or disqualifications | ||
| and that's why the Democrats are in a crisis right now because they know that Joe Biden, | ||
| he's always been incompetent, but now he's mentally incompetent and it's very obvious | ||
| that he's mentally incompetent. | ||
| The problem is that Kamala Harris is incompetent and mentally incompetent in other ways. | ||
| She doesn't have dementia. | ||
| She's just a moron, right? | ||
| So those are the Democrats' options right now. | ||
| I don't see how they can bring in Anyone other than Kamala Harris as the nominee of Joe Biden decides to step aside or if he doesn't make it between now and the election. | ||
| So it's Joe versus Kamala, guys. | ||
| Those are your two options. | ||
| I'm coming back one moment to the Supreme Court. | ||
| It's very novel to see the commentariat class and the Democrats melting down at the idea of King Donald is now losing the presidency and having basically a monarch, a crowned monarch in their place. | ||
| Because I didn't think, for years I've been following American politics, I didn't think any of these guys cared about limited powers or defining what exactly it is a constitutional government can do. | ||
| They seem to be going after one power grab after another. | ||
| Is it possible, is it possible, I ask somewhat naively, that after this Supreme Court ruling there might be somewhat of a sea change amongst the US political class to rein in the constant expansion of federal power back to something towards its constitutionally defined limits? | ||
| Or is that naive of me? | ||
| Is this simply an objection to the prospect of four more years of Donald Trump? | ||
| Yeah, what's amazing to me is President Trump appointed Justice Gorsuch, my former boss, along with Justice Kavanaugh. | ||
| and Justice Barrett and transform the left of center court to the constitutionalist, the Trump constitutionalist Supreme Court. | ||
| And this Supreme Court is telling the federal government, particularly the executive branch, that they don't have the power to do what they think they've had the power to do over the last 90 years since FDR threatened to stack the Supreme Court. | ||
| So not only are you seeing the court Saying that, you know, over time, over the next 20 years, the court's going to say that the federal government does not have the powers that are not explicitly mentioned or enumerated in the United States Constitution. | ||
| A loan agreement between we, the people, and our governments, which is completely different from Britain, from which we escaped. | ||
| Their power goes from God to the sovereign king and is lent to its subjects, right? | ||
| In America, it's totally opposite. | ||
| Power goes from God to we, the people. | ||
| We are the sovereign citizens, and we lend power to our governments, our federal, state, and local governments and tribal governments. | ||
| And whatever power we don't lend to the federal government belongs to the states and the people. | ||
| And that got reversed 90 years ago, where essentially they turned the Commerce Clause | ||
| on its head and said, now the federal government essentially has all powers | ||
| unless it's explicitly excluded instead of enumerated in the Constitution. And | ||
| then what they've done is the federal government has grabbed all this power, and then they've | ||
| consolidated all of this power in the executive branch. Congress's lawmaking power, the judge's | ||
| judicial power, and the president's executive power has been consolidated in the executive | ||
| branch through Chevron, deference, and non-delegation. Just some crazy doctrines that the left | ||
| has come up with to take all three powers and all powers that don't belong to the federal | ||
| government. | ||
| And then put it in these executive branch agencies and then say that you can't remove these people and they're all powerful. | ||
| I mean, that sounds like a monarchy to me, and that's what Joe Biden and the Democrat Party wants. | ||
| President Trump and the Republican Party, particularly his Republican judges, are trying to decentralize that power and return it to the constitutional republic that our founders intended. | ||
| One final note, let's talk about Let's talk about a fascist dictator or a king. | ||
| Joe Biden has politicized and weaponized his Justice Department. | ||
| He's trying to bankrupt, imprison for life, take off the ballot his political enemy because Joe Biden fears he can't beat Trump on November 5th, 2024. | ||
| Biden's also put in prison Trump's top advisors, Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon. | ||
| Biden's sick to his FBI after parents outraged by gender chaos in schools. | ||
| Joe Biden has sick to his Justice Department to go after Christians praying at abortion clinics. | ||
| He put in prison a 75-year-old Christian praying at abortion clinics while Joe Biden gives amnesty to his own family, to his attorney general, to his BLM Antifa Hamas supporters. | ||
| Mike, would you do me the great favour of just holding on over the break? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| We'll pick up in a couple of minutes time. | ||
| There's another point I want to ask you. | ||
| Everyone has their favourite imaginary fantasy constitutional amendment. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I want to run mine past you to see what you think. | |
| After the break. | ||
|
unidentified
|
...adds up in the endgame, which is always the authoritarian endgame, is that they don't leap, right? | |
| Because once you consolidate all this power, you can't give it up. | ||
| And so that's where this always goes. | ||
| So if people want to check that out, we really did our best to distill it in a clear, easy, factual explanation. | ||
| Because if you look at Project 2025, it is a lot to go through. | ||
| So let's look about where this intersects, get really focused On the way that our democracy will be threatened because that's the quickest way we can get to some solutions in terms of maybe putting some more guardrails in place when it comes to Congress. | ||
| Because, Nicole, I think we've learned from this process. | ||
| We can't keep banking everything on the next election and the next presidency. | ||
| People have to get to work and get creative now. | ||
| Well, what is the solution, other than making sure that Trump is never president again and can't put this into action, Amanda? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, for starters, I think we've seen the slide of SCOTUS supersizing the presidency for quite some time, and obviously this immunity ruling is a wake-up call. | |
| I think this is going to be a time for, you know, Democrats in Congress to really get smart and savvy about reining in executive power before it's too late. | ||
| I understand that legislation probably can't be passed right now, But this is a good time to start building the case for it. | ||
| Instead of freaking out about what's going to happen to the presidency, use the power that you have now to build that message, to talk to people, to get solutions. | ||
| Because I don't want to come off as lecturing, as like a Republican that's on here saying Democrats need to do more. | ||
| But it is my feeling now that MAGA is on the rise just simply because they're outworking everybody on a lot of fronts. | ||
| Yes, the courts have let us down, the Republican Party has let us down, but they are not stopping. | ||
| And so I think we need a lot less panicking and a lot more working. | ||
| He has also said, Mika, and President Biden reminds us of this all the time that Donald Trump has said in his own words that he would lead as a dictator on day one in this country. | ||
| That is incredibly dangerous. | ||
| We saw, of course, the Supreme Court's incredibly toxic ruling that they made earlier this week | ||
| on presidential immunity. | ||
| You heard President Biden being presidential, speaking from the White House about what's | ||
| at stake and how dangerous the Supreme Court ruling is. | ||
| We have a Supreme Court that is constantly ruling 6-3, largely against the American people. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because Donald Trump put three Supreme Court justices on the court. | ||
| The next president of the United States, Mika, could also put potentially two more Supreme | ||
| So you're going to see President Biden out there making that contrast. | ||
| He's meeting with governors today. | ||
| He's traveling to Wisconsin and Pennsylvania this weekend. | ||
| He's doing a number of things. | ||
| He's being the president of the United States. | ||
| He's doing his job. | ||
| He's going to continue to reassure the American people that he's up for the job. | ||
| He's speaking to George Stephanopoulos, doing an interview on Friday that will air this Sunday. | ||
| He is out there doing what he needs to do to reassure the American people. | ||
| But he's also going out and talking to voters directly, and voters in this election will ultimately decide We have seen from our internal polling that there has not been much of a shift. | ||
| We have seen in eight public polls that this race remains within the margin of error and that this debate did not shift really at all in these polls. | ||
| So I think it's important for everyone to take a step back, take a beat, realize President Biden is the only person in this country who has defeated Donald Trump and he will also defeat him again in November. | ||
| So good watching the heads explode. | ||
| What was it that lady said? | ||
| MAGA is winning because it's outworking and it's not stopping. | ||
| It's because they fear you. | ||
| They feared the war in Posse and you can see it and it's starting to show. | ||
| Mike Davis, I liked your quote earlier which is paraphrasing. | ||
| Napoleon, never interrupt your enemy when he's making a mistake. | ||
| That's always good advice. | ||
| I went to bed the other day and the Democrats and the punditry, they were all big government totalitarians. | ||
| And I woke up the next day after the Supreme Court ruling and they were all basically limited government, Jeffersonian, Libertarian Rothbardians. | ||
| It's remarkable. | ||
| Anyone would think, you know, someone more cynical than I would suggest that this is really just a problem that they have because they can't control Donald Trump. | ||
| They can't control the agenda behind the people who are wanting to elect him. | ||
| And so they're resorting ever more to the unelected bench, the unelected judicial class. | ||
| But it is very, it's very rewarding to watch because a lot of people have put in a lot of time and effort over years to get to this point. | ||
| And it's nice to see that the Democrats realize that they simply can't control the agenda anymore. | ||
| Yeah, it's fantastic. | ||
| I think that as Republicans and conservatives and Trump supporters and right-thinking independents and even right-thinking Democrats who aren't insane, I would say this, that we should just sit back For the next couple days and eat our popcorn and watch the Democrats eat each other. | ||
| It's just, it's glorious. | ||
| And so, and I would, Andrew Bates from the Biden White House just put out a tweet on | ||
| this New York Times story. | ||
| And I call Andrew Bates Baghdad Bob, but because he tries to put a rosy spin on anything. | ||
| It could be the presidential palace is being bombed and Bob, Bob dad, but Baghdad Bob would | ||
| go out there and say that everything's fine. | ||
| And you know, Saddam Hussein is fine. | ||
| This is what Andrew Bates said, quote, this claim is absolutely false. | ||
| And if we had been given more than seven minutes, we could have communicated this before it | ||
| was publicized. | ||
| And so the Biden White House is denying this New York Times reporting. | ||
| But think about that. | ||
| I mean, think about you have all these Democrat politicians, including Kamala, plotting behind the scenes, a vulture behind the scenes. | ||
| You have Nancy Pelosi, you have Barack Obama, you have the Democrat leadership plotting against Biden right now, Michelle Obama, Barack Obama. | ||
| Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Kamala Harris, every top Democrat leader, and Biden is so desperate and isolated, he doesn't even trust his own White House advisors anymore because they're all Obama plants. | ||
| He's finally waking up to that, that it's Obama's third term and he's just an imbecile puppet. | ||
| Maybe he didn't realize that before. | ||
| It's gotten so bad for Joe Biden that he had to bring in Hunter Biden into the White House. | ||
| And he has Hunter Biden sitting in these top White House meetings with Joe Biden to protect him. | ||
| It's just absolutely insane. | ||
| I have to say, if I were Joe Biden, I wouldn't trust any of my advisors either. | ||
| Look, I just want to run one thing past you. | ||
| I think it was FDR, wasn't it, who promised court packing back when the Supreme Court had originally ruled his National Recovery Act unconstitutional. | ||
| Listen, as I said before the break, everyone's got their own fantasy Constitutional amendment, they'd like to say. | ||
| Why not fix the number of justices in the Supreme Court by constitutional amendments? | ||
| And then you wouldn't have the threat constantly hanging over the head that, uh, that, um, but like, like his life has been circling over the last couple of years, um, of, of just packing in more justices in accordance with the, the, the combined White House Senate, um, uh... majority sure i mean that we've had nine justices for more than a hundred fifty years going back to just after the civil war we used to have a different number of justices that would fluctuate between i think like six and ten before we settled on nine because they used to be circuit justices they used to write circuit around the country and so you would they'd get on their horse and go around the country that doesn't happen anymore uh... yes we've had nine it's always going to stay not i would say this to the democrats | ||
| Keep threatening to pack the Supreme Court because there's nothing that unifies Republicans, conservatives, Trump supporters, right-thinking Democrats and independents than the Democrats' threat to pack the Supreme Court. | ||
| I mean, I'll tell you, as the leader of the Article 3 project, as a former chief counsel for nominations on the Senate Judiciary Committee that handled Supreme Court nominations, I've worked on Five of the six last Republican appointees to the Supreme Court. | ||
| I wasn't old enough for Clarence Thomas, but he's my favorite. | ||
| Keep doing this. | ||
| Keep doing this because there's nothing that unites the party and guarantees that we're going to have Republican senators elected and Republican Presidents elect and then the Democrats derange calls to pack the Supreme Court, right? | ||
| They want to pack the Supreme Court. | ||
| Democrats want to pack the Supreme Court and take away our God-given rights to speak, to worship, to associate, and to protect ourselves. | ||
| And we saw that very clearly during COVID and COVID lockdowns, the Marxist revolution of COVID lockdowns and BLM riots. | ||
| And the Supreme Court is our last line of defense, and people should remember that on November 5th. | ||
| You want President Trump, or President Biden, or President Kamala maybe, replacing Clarence Thomas on the Supreme Court. | ||
| Because if you replace Clarence Thomas on the Supreme Court with Tanya Shutkin, we're going to lose a lot of our God-given rights. | ||
| Mike Davis, thanks very much for coming on the show this morning. | ||

| You can also donate, and thank you very much. | ||
| Thanks, Matt. | ||
| Catch up with you tomorrow. | ||
| God bless. | ||
| Matt Boyle, you were listening to that. | ||
| What do you think about the machinations going on right now in the Democratic Party? | ||
| Good morning to you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure, there's something. | |
| First off, the big thing that's happening inside the Democrat Party right now is that they're coming to terms with the likelihood that they're not going to hold the White House, right? | ||
| The biggest thing that's happened since the debate is a leak that came out yesterday to Peter Hamby at Puck News. | ||
| This was from Biden's own Super PAC, this internal polling data that showed that even before the debate, Donald Trump was headed for a landslide victory, according to Democrats' own internal numbers. | ||
| He was winning in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, Michigan, before the debate. | ||
| And then after the debate, he's blown that wide open, right? | ||
| So we were headed for a landslide Donald Trump victory, according to Democrats' own numbers, against Joe Biden. | ||
| Before the debate, after the debate, it's looking more like less of a landslide, more of a mandate, right? | ||
| So states like New Mexico, New Hampshire, Colorado, Maine statewide, not just the second district, et cetera, are all in play. | ||
| If you look at the Democrats' own internal numbers post-debate, Again, this is from Biden's super PAC, not from us. | ||
| Donald Trump is currently leading in enough states to have more than 330 electoral votes. | ||
| So the calculation that they're making right now is when you look at the Senate map and | ||
| the House map, etc., is which party is going to have the majority in the House of Representatives, | ||
| right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Republicans have a- Matt, would you hold on for a minute? | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Welcome back. | ||
| Joined today with Matt Boyle, one of my favourite political commentators, Washington Bureau Chief for Breitbart. | ||
| I check it every day. | ||
| Matt, did you see the New York Times article today, this morning? | ||
| Biden told ally that he is weighing whether to continue in the race. | ||
| What do you make of that? | ||
| Yeah, look, we see that story out there. | ||
| We see the White House pushing back on it. | ||
| But what's happening right now is there's a massive fight inside the Democrat Party over who, between Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, would be the best candidate for them to stem losses in the U.S. | ||
| Senate. | ||
| They are going to lose the U.S. | ||
| Senate majority, right? | ||
| Republicans will take the U.S. | ||
| Senate. | ||
| The question is how many seats, right? | ||
| Look at the map out there. | ||
| Republicans will take West Virginia. | ||
| They'll hold Florida and Texas. | ||
| They'll start the GOP at 50. | ||
| And then Ohio and Montana are very likely to go Republican this year. | ||
| From there, Arizona, Nevada, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and there are more than that. | ||
| But those are all competitive U.S. | ||
| Senate races. | ||
| But, you know, beyond that, New Mexico, New Jersey are possibilities. | ||
| So the calculation that Democrats have to make is that with Republicans set to, given the map this year, retake the United States Senate, which Presidential candidate causes them less losses in the down ticket races, right? | ||
| So does Joe Biden or does Kamala Harris? | ||
| And that's what they're going through right now. | ||
| It's a lot easier for Democrats to retake the US Senate in two years or four years or six years. | ||
| If the Republicans only have 52, 53, 54 seats versus 57, 58, 59, maybe even 60, right? | ||
| And given the map the way it is right now, and the way that the Democrats' own internal polling numbers are showing things, things are looking terrible for the Democrats' chances of stemming losses in that regard. | ||
| A move to Kamala Harris. | ||
| Meanwhile, the House, obviously the House majority is what we're talking about right before the break. | ||
| The House majority for Republicans is hanging by a thread, right? | ||
| There's only a handful of seats that Republicans have right now on that side of things. | ||
| And before the debate, Democrats have really thought they were going to take the House majority. | ||
| That's why in the immediate aftermath, you saw Hakeem Jeffries the morning after come out and say, well, we're still going to take the House, right? | ||
| And that's what they're focused on. | ||
| focus on their coming to terms with the reality that holding the White House for the Democrats | ||
| with either Joe Biden or Kamala Harris would be an extremely difficult proposition. All this talk | ||
| of switching to another candidate beyond those two is pretty hard to believe because of the fact | ||
| that the Biden-Harris campaign is currently sitting on more than $200 million in cash on hand. | ||
| If they go to somebody different than Kamala, like let's say they go to Gavin Newsom or Gretchen Whitmer or Josh Shapiro, the governor of Pennsylvania, they lose access to those funds in the traditional sense of a campaign, and they would have to restart From scratch if you will and that wouldn't cause the That would set them back in the efforts to protect the down ticket if you will right like so the the everything right now is about the down ticket and it's all about grinding down a Trump presidency in the second term and | ||
| Regular War Room listeners and viewers will remember there was an interview I did with Steve a few months ago, I think it was at CPAC, where we had uncovered a document at Breitbart that showed that the climate groups in Washington, D.C., these are the official, you know, institutional left, the lobbying firms, etc., for green energy companies, etc., they were preparing for a Trump presidency. | ||
| So what's happening is official Washington has been preparing for Trump's return for some time. | ||
| But what the debate did was it almost threw it into stark contrast and forced the Democrats to face this moment where they themselves are now starting to realize the writing on the wall. | ||
| And that Trump is likely to come back to the White House. | ||
| And so what they're trying to do is prepare to grind his agenda to a halt and be able to retake power shortly thereafter. | ||
| So they want to be able to ride out and minimize the impact of a Trump presidency, assuming that Donald Trump comes back to the White House. | ||
| That's why things like who Trump picks as his running mate, who he surrounds himself with over the course | ||
| of the rest of this campaign and next year, assuming he is the president, | ||
| during a transition at the end of the year, if he wins the election, are extremely important. | ||
| But also what the Democrats do and where they shift resources to. | ||
| Several of the things that have happened recently. | ||
| So one of the things that you're noticing from Democrats who are criticizing Biden | ||
| is that they are talking about the down ticket, right? | ||
| So the members of Congress, et cetera. | ||
| So you've got the Congressman there from Maine, Jared Golden or Mary Glusen-Claire Perez | ||
| from Washington State. | ||
| What they're talking about is they're saying they're coming to terms with the Trump's gonna win, right? | ||
| They're saying Trump's gonna win the election and we need to be ready as a party to deal with that. | ||
| And in addition to that, what you're seeing is as many smarter Democrat donors | ||
| are already moving their money to, they're already moving their money | ||
| into the down ticket racism. | ||
| Like they're shifting their money to the Democrat senatorial campaign committee or to the house campaign committees, uh, away from the, uh, presidential race. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right? | |
| Like, and so, uh, if a move to Kamala would 100% be an effort to protect their down ticket races. | ||
| They probably still lose the White House. | ||
| They probably still lose the Senate. | ||
| But they might be able to lose the Senate by less, right? | ||
| And that means that they come back and they crawl back to a Democrat majority in the Senate sooner rather than later, right? | ||
| If Republicans can get into the high 50s or even 60 Senate seats, Which is a monumental task, but not impossible, given the numbers that we're seeing out there right now. | ||
| Then it makes it a lot harder for the Democrats to bounce back later, right? | ||
| So this is all about the long game for power and control in Washington, D.C. | ||
| And Democrats are starting to face the hard reality that they are going to have a very tough time of holding the White House. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, there are certainly some strange undercurrents taking place right now in both political parties. | ||
| I'm talking about the fact the prospect of quite a substantial majority for the Republican Senate. | ||
| Things like the prospect of Senator Larry Hogan doesn't fill me with any great enthusiasm. | ||
| And on the other hand, you mentioned Jared Golden down in Maine, who said that, you know, Trump's going to, as you said, which you alluded to, right? | ||
| He said, he published this op-ed and he said, Trump's going to beat Biden and democracy will be just fine. | ||
| See, it's a bit odd and counterintuitive in a certain sense, but you laid out the reasons for this, that you're having, there will be some Congress, some congressmen who are less Afflicted by Trump derangement syndrome than certain GOP senators, which is, I think, it's always creating an interesting dynamic, no? | ||
| Yeah, well look, the big question is what is the Trump administration going to look like? | ||
| This is why I think any move by the Democrats here raises the stakes for Trump's running mate selection, right? | ||
| You've got the globalists out there, Rupert Murdoch, etc. | ||
| We've done stories about this at Breitbart over the last couple weeks. | ||
| Rupert Murdoch's various media properties are pushing people like Doug Burgum. | ||
| They're pushing people like Glenn Youngkin because they've come to terms with, the Wall | ||
| Street Journal has come to terms with, that Nikki Haley won't be the running mate. | ||
| But if Trump went with a more America first type selection like a J.D. Vance, then that | ||
| would protect Trump's agenda. | ||
| And so that's why who Trump picks in this next week or so here is going to be a super | ||
| important decision. | ||
| Also, what happens on the Democrat side is... | ||
| Do the Democrats formally make such a switch? | ||
| I mean, I would have said no, even in the immediate aftermath of the debate, but you're now starting to see Nancy Pelosi, Jim Clyburn, Jamie Raskin the other night on MSNBC, these folks are now starting to to almost turn. And the reason why I think is not because | ||
| they have any hopes of holding the White House. I think they're getting to the point where | ||
| they're coming to terms on the Democrat side with, again, like I said, reality. The | ||
| question is, who is going to give them a better chance at, A, possibly retaking the | ||
| House of Representatives, and B, limiting losses in the Senate? | ||
| So that's what everything is about right now. | ||
| It's all about the down ticket and it's all about power. | ||
| It's all about control. | ||
| It's all about the long game in Washington, D.C. | ||
| And the question is, is the right and is the Trump movement ready for this question? | ||
| And who Trump picks as VP, like I said, if he picks Vance, he's going to show that he's ready. | ||
| For this moment, if he picks one of these other guys, I don't know. | ||
| We'll see. | ||
| But the point is, and by the way, they're all fine. | ||
| Like, don't get me wrong, I have nothing personal to give with Burgum. | ||
| I like the guy personally. | ||
| I've gotten to know him very well. | ||
| I've gotten to know Glenn Youngkin very well, too. | ||
| I know them both. | ||
| I think they're all fine and well-picked. | ||
| All the names being talked about. | ||
| Rubio is great, too. | ||
| Like, I think he's learned his lessons from 2016 and immigration and so on. | ||
| And so is Tim Scott. | ||
| I think they're all great. | ||
| But the big question here is, is this movement ready for prime time and ready to go truly | ||
| combat the left and execute an America First agenda upon Trump's return to office? | ||
| And that's what the next two weeks over the course of what happens on the Democrat side | ||
| and what happens on the Republican side are going to demonstrate. | ||
| So this is an incredibly important moment for our country and the future of it. | ||
| The question is, are we just buying time and slowing down the decline or are we going to actually turn things around? | ||
| And all of those things are going to determine that. | ||
| Matt, I think a year or so ago, Donald Trump said that Glenn Youngkin had a Chinese sounding name. | ||
| And from that moment onwards, I've always pronounced it Glenn Youngkin, just to make it, just to underline Trump's intuition on that. | ||
| No, I don't think, you know, I think you're far more magnanimous with some of the names that you're mentioning than I would be. | ||
| Look, we've got about two minutes left, right? | ||
| I've got a quick question for you. | ||
| There's been some speculation that the bringing forward the debate to such an unprecedented early time for the Democrats was really an opportunity. | ||
| For certain figures operating the shadows to sabotage Biden's eventual candidature by bringing out into the open just how | ||
| decrepit and senile he actually is. | ||
| Look, in two minutes, what are you hearing on who those individuals might be? | ||
| Do you think it could be someone basically as clear because you're not need to be pretty | ||
| close to the power, like to the DNC to try and affect that kind of maneuver? | ||
| Who are you hearing was behind it? | ||
| Do you think it could be someone really sort of like Kamala or someone like that? | ||
| I don't think that's what happened here. | ||
| I think they've actually deluded themselves into believing after Joe Biden's State of the Union performance, which, by the way, I mean, he was awake and alert. | ||
| He engaged with people. | ||
| He read the lines clearly off the teleprompter. | ||
| They actually deluded themselves into believing that there wasn't a problem here. | ||
| They believe their own BS, right? | ||
| And so I don't think that there was some secret coup here, or some secret plan. | ||
| I think they actually believed that this was going to turn things around for them. | ||
| Like I said, look at the internal, the most important leak over the last week has been the internal polling numbers from the Biden super PAC. | ||
| Even before the debate, Donald Trump was headed for a landslide victory according to their own numbers. | ||
| And they thought this was going to turn it around. | ||
| They thought Biden was going to get up there and knock the orange man around. | ||
| That was what their plan was, right? | ||
| They went into it thinking that. | ||
| They held Biden in a bunker for a week over at Camp David to do it. | ||
| I think they were genuinely shocked by this, right? | ||
| There have been people around the president who've been trying to cover this up for a long time, but I don't think that there was some secret coup here. | ||
| I think they genuinely got rocked by this and it backfired on them. | ||
| If that's the case, that's professional malpractice. | ||
| That is absolutely inexcusable. | ||
| And then they will deserve everything that they're going to get. | ||
| Matt, if I could just ask you to hold on over the break and then we'll wrap up in two minutes time. | ||

Thanks very much. | |
| Matt, you're one of my favourite Washington journalists. | ||
| You're an old-school, gumshoe journalist. | ||
| You actually have first-hand sources, and unlike most of the mainstream media commentators, you're not just picking up what other guys are publishing and rewriting it, which is what passes for contemporary journalism. | ||
| You're a must-read. | ||
| Where can people keep up with your output, with your great analysis and your reporting? | ||
| Yeah, well, our whole team at Breitbart is working on all of this around the clock. | ||
| So even if you don't see stuff under my byline, just go to Breitbart.com. | ||
| So that's B-R-E-I-T-B-A-R-T.com. | ||
| I'm also on True Social, so I'll post stuff there at Real Matt Boyle. | ||
| But the team at Breitbart is working around the clock. | ||
| And then I also host our Saturday morning show on SiriusXM, which is 10am to 1pm. | ||
| On Sirius XM 125, the Patriot Channel, Bright Bar News Saturday. | ||
| And we also have the show go seven days a week. | ||
| And Steve used to host the show before he went to go run the Trump campaign, obviously. | ||
| So our longtime listeners are very familiar with that. | ||
| But our team working around the clock. | ||
| This is a crazy story. | ||
| And the big question is, do the Democrats decide to stick with Biden or go to Kamala? | ||
| I would say the The pendulum swung a little bit more in the Kamala direction the last 24 hours, but it's still close, right? | ||
| Like, it's not like... I would put it at like 55-45 or maybe even less than that, so it is... | ||
| Literally on a dime's edge here, right? | ||
| It's like a coin on its side, which way this is going to go. | ||
| And I genuinely don't know. | ||
| We'll see. | ||
| But the big calculation, again, everything is about the down ticket. | ||
| It's all about the down ticket. | ||
| And to your point about, you know, gumshoe reporting and talking to sources, just this past weekend on our Saturday show, we had on Joe Biden's old spokesperson. | ||
| He literally said that, right? | ||
| Michael La Rosa, who was the first lady's spokesperson for years in the White House, came on and said that this all comes down to what happens to Senate candidates. | ||
| In particular, he pointed to watch Bob Casey from Pennsylvania. | ||
| And Casey, for now, has stuck with Biden. | ||
| So the question is, do they continue to do so or do they keep breaking? | ||
| So we'll see. | ||
| Matt, thanks very much, man. | ||
| Thanks very much for coming on and sharing your most recent analysis and insights with us. | ||
| We'll catch up with you soon. | ||
| God bless. | ||
| You bet. | ||
| Thanks, sir. | ||

Do you hear that, folks? | |
| Democrats are lining up for your enjoyment. | ||
| President cackling Kamala herself. | ||

|
Hmm. | |
| Should be. | ||
| It's not going to happen. | ||
| But it's been great fun watching them try. | ||
| Look, we've got Natalie Dominguez now, who is the title theft education specialist at Home Title Lock. | ||
| Natalie, good morning. | ||
| There's been something interesting, another development on a case of title theft down, I think, in Houston, right? | ||
| I was reading through this story. | ||
| Absolutely astonishing. | ||
| And anyone who hears this, I think, they're going to go to bed late at night and stay awake, not being able to fall asleep, just wondering what might happen to their title deeds. | ||
| Why don't you break down for us what has happened down in Texas? | ||
| Because I think it's quite informative. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, so hi, Ben. | |
| Good morning. | ||
| Yeah, we were actually asked to do an interview on Fox News last week on title theft after they covered a story about a woman in Houston who bought a property 13 years ago, had planned to gift it to her son one day, and is now fighting to get it back because it was fraudulently transferred into someone else's name. | ||
| And the paper trail is the craziest part. | ||
| So This is what we know overall. | ||
| It's still relatively new. | ||
| It's still ongoing. | ||
| The thief created fake documents, listed the legitimate owner's mailing address as an address in Austria, had created a fake ID and a fake passport with the homeowner's name in the same Austrian address, They even had it notarized and went through a title company. | ||
| And even though this all sounds weird to us out loud, clerks really are just looking to make sure that it's all filled out properly, and they're not actually verifying this information. | ||
| So the investigation uncovered things that honestly should have been a red flag, but again, because it was filled out properly, they had to approve it. | ||
| So first, the fake ID and passport had a male's face on it, even though the homeowner's a woman. | ||
| Second, they also found out that the passport and fake ID didn't even match. | ||
| They had photos of two different men on them. | ||
| Third, the alleged notary who stamped the document in the first place was supposedly a notary from Vienna that worked through the U.S. | ||
| Embassy, and we still don't even know if this notary is even real or not. | ||
| And then lastly, the transfer recipient, the thief, listed on the document had a Houston address that led to an office building, and when the investigators tried to call the number, it wasn't in service. | ||
| So, Texas lawmakers are trying to put preventative measures in place, like requiring ID for these types of filings, but even in the county where this happened, they stated they already require ID. | ||
| So, you can see from this case that criminals are going to find a way to commit the crimes, even if it just means adding one extra step, like creating a fake ID, you know? | ||
| Horrific. | ||
| Horrific, Natalie. | ||
| Where do people go to find out more about what you can do to help them? | ||
