This country just needs to feel a genuine leader.
I think, I don't care if it's two women, I don't care if it's a woman-man, the mix does not matter.
It's just genuine, authentic leadership.
Somebody who buys into policy and being able to defend and explain their policies.
Being able to be empathetic and understand the other side.
That's a huge issue, being empathetic, Democrats to Republicans, or Republicans to Democrats.
And use a tone that actually sounds like the President of the United States instead of, to use your word earlier, a punk.
Just be proud, whether you're on Twitter or giving a speech or talking to a foreign dignitary.
Act like a president.
elie mystal
So look, I do not think, I agree, I like to, in The Nation I wrote about how, speaking of children, my mother, when I was thinking about having children, I went to my mother and I was like, Mom, I'm not ready to have kids.
And she basically told me, well, praise science, you've got nine months to get ready.
Right?
Like, that's what you got, right?
And so, this question, like, America's gonna have six months to get ready for whoever that ticket is, and I think that America will get there by then.
I do not believe in a country where there is a person out there that is like, well, I wouldn't vote for two women.
One woman, all right, but two women, that's too much estrogen.
unidentified
Like, I don't think... What about, what about... That's not a person that's like Brett Stevens, all right?
In all seriousness, what about...
abby phillip
A gay man in Pete Buttigieg, who a lot of Democrats believe is one of their best messengers out there.
unidentified
He's already being attacked for being gay.
elie mystal
One of the best messengers the Democrats have.
He is very, very good at speaking to exactly the 10% of voters that you've been talking about, Jeff.
And for me, he is one of the strongest reformers that we have in our party when it comes to the Supreme Court, which we didn't get to talk about this in the last segment, but when we look at a Buttigieg or when we look at a Whitmer, What's the most important issue in this election for a lot of those 150,000 women that are on that call right now?
unidentified
Abortion.
Yes.
elie mystal
And who is going to make that case the most, not just from the top of the ticket, but also from the second, number two spot, Whitmer and Buttigieg, in different ways, can make that case very fast.
unidentified
Kamala!
Hello!
Hi!
Hey there!
Aww, hi!
You're both together!
Oh, it's good to hear you both.
I can't have this phone call without saying to my girl Kamala, I am proud of you.
This is going to be historic.
We called to say Michelle and I couldn't be prouder to endorse you and to do everything we can to get you through this election and into the Oval Office.
Oh my goodness.
Michelle Barack, this means so much to me.
I was texting with two members of Congress two days ago, and they felt the same way.
It's like, we were hoping for the best, but this was beyond what we thought, how quickly the party coalesced and rallied around her.
But also, look, when you look at the level of energy and sort of the stuff that's happening on social media organically, right, at the grassroots, Michael, I haven't seen anything like this, I'm going to say it, I'm going to get in trouble, but I haven't seen anything like this since 08.
OK, so I'm glad he went there.
I'm glad he went there.
And I'll tell you why I'm glad he went there.
Because I said, and I've been saying since this whole thing started, this could be bigger than 08.
And there are this... I'm sorry, you know, but that ain't my issue.
It could be bigger than 08, because of the level of energy that we see here.
I mean... If I had to do this, I gotta be the curmudgeon.
I have to be the skunk at the garden party.
This is too triumphalist, okay?
This is everybody's giddy.
I'll get the coverage, and it's great, and we're just... Let me... If I had to write a play about what I think it's gonna be like, it would be entitled The Ice Pick Cometh, okay?
get ready, they're coming.
All right?
And it's good.
Everybody should feel good and liberated and everything else.
But if we don't win the election, we haven't done anything.
We haven't changed the temperature in America.
We haven't changed anything.
And I think the vice president, I hope that, you know, her campaign is getting ready.
I hope they listen to my friend and fellow New Orleanian, Donald Brazile, who actually, I think, has the same kind of view of politics that I do.
And they're coming at us!
And they're going to keep coming.
And this kind of giddy elation is not going to be very helpful much longer, because that's not what we're going to be faced with.
And I think the vice president, put it in athletic terms, needs a really good cut man in a corner, because she's getting ready to get cut.
steve bannon
This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
unidentified
Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people.
steve bannon
I got a free shot all these networks lying about the people.
unidentified
The people have had a belly full of it.
I know you don't like hearing that.
I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.
It's going to happen.
jake tapper
And where do people like that go to share the big line?
unidentified
MAGA Media.
jake tapper
I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
unidentified
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
steve bannon
If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
unidentified
War Room.
Here's your host Stephen K. Bamm.
ben harnwell
Morning.
Hanwell here at the helm, filling in for Steve Bowne.
Today is Friday 26th Interesting selection there from the cold open.
I noticed that straight away the Democrats pivot now back to their old schtick.
You heard what they were saying, that the Democrats are empathic, that they express empathy and that they have a candidate they feel that looks like a president, suggesting, of course, that Donald Trump looks like a punk.
I just want to say, we'll break this down if it's necessary.
I don't think anyone on this show is going to be remotely deceived by the shtick there.
But this is what they tried, right?
This is what they tried four years ago.
I personally think that Donald Trump looks and holds himself like a president of the United States.
Should do it.
It's Joe Biden that doesn't.
But remember their shtick here.
This is what they said.
They were going to have the adults back in the room.
And what is the consequence of that?
60% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and that is the consequence of letting yourself be guided by those superficial characteristics which aren't even true in substance.
Bhatia Ungar-Sargon, Deputy Opinion Editor of Newsweek, good morning to you.
Yesterday on the show we had Mark Mitchell from Rasmussen Reports and I still can't get over this.
I've been breaking this down Folks, go to RasmussenReports.com, by the way, to get this.
I still can't believe that this revelatory statistic that they had yesterday, that across
the nation 65% of Americans, I think it's including 55% of Democrats, expect there to
be cheating in 2024 and in the November elections.
That's an astonishing high degree.
I think the first conclusion to draw is that is exactly what you would expect if you believe that 2020 was stolen and you observe correctly that nothing has been done about that in three and a half years.
Bajir, what's your take, firstly, on this Rasmussen Report's statistic about the expectation of cheating in November?
And do you buy what they were saying, I think it was MSNBC, about the fact that they think Kamala Harris looks like a president who ought to look and is empathic?
Or do you think that the empathy that is often attributed to Democrats is totally fraudulent?
Good morning, Bhatia.
unidentified
Good morning.
batya ungar-sargon
Thank you so much for having me.
I have to start by saying I got a little choked up seeing that clip of Steve Bannon.
I know he's in all of our hearts and all of our prayers, an American hero, and I just can't stand what they did to him.
And I'm honored to be here, you know, and hope that, you know, I could be here with him and that we can all see him very, very soon.
I'm told that he's doing well, and I just had to express that.
I'm trying to get back in the state of mind, out of the state of emotion, so thank you for bearing with me.
On the subject of Kamala Harris and Democrat compassion, what's so amazing is that the American people are the most tolerant, colorblind people On planet Earth, the American working class are deeply, deeply tolerant.
They will vote for anybody, white, black, gay, straight, Jewish, woman, man, who doesn't insult them, make them poorer, and sell out their children's future, right?
They could not care less what somebody's identity is.
So what do the Democrats do, right?
The Democrats who don't believe in the American dream, who do believe in selling out the future of the working class and making them poorer, what do they do?
They take someone who checks the box on multiple identity fronts, who offers the American working class nothing but more insult and more injury, and elevate this person and then say, if you don't like her, you're racist and you're sexist, right?
You see how there's a trick there, right?
If they would pick anybody who had an America First agenda, who had a policy proposal for how to bring back the thriving American working class and the American dream, American working class voters would run and vote for that person.
And instead what they do is they go back to the sort of factory settings Democrat, right?
Who offers people nothing but furthers the kind of immiseration of working class people that started under Bill Clinton, proceeded under Barack Obama, and then really reached its apex under Joe Biden.
So to me, that's what I see.
You look at that call between the Obamas and Kamala Harris, and President Obama and Michelle Obama congratulating Vice President Kamala Harris on being effectively anointed through a coup, right?
In part, orchestrated by the Obamas.
Fine, let's put that aside.
They called to congratulate her on this.
There is nothing in that call.
I mean, maybe there was something in the call, but in the snippet they chose to highlight, they chose to elevate.
There is nothing about the American people.
There is nothing about why she wants to be president, what she would bring to the table as a president.
There is simply the self-congratulation of extremely wealthy elites in this performance
of friendship, of celebrity friendship.
That is what the Democratic Party is right now.
That is what it is offering the American people.
And just one more thing.
I understand that a lot of people on the far right or on the right, a lot of conservatives
who care a lot about abortion, were upset that pro-life was left out of the GOP 2024
agenda.
I really hope that people understand now the genius that Donald Trump brought to that agenda
in saying, you know what?
Let's take this out of the quiver of the Democrats because that is the one thing that she is going to be able to say, look, I'm a woman.
I've always promoted this cause.
It's the one issue she hasn't flip-flopped on.
It's the one issue that she's been consistent on.
And now they simply do not have that arrow in their bow because Donald Trump understands where the American people are at and he deserves a lot of credit for that.
ben harnwell
So it's basically a confirmation then that your underlying thesis of your book, Second
Class, I can sit over your shoulder, Second Class, How the Elites Betrayed America's Working
Men and Women, the basic thesis there, I think it remains intact into the forthcoming period
under Kamala Harris of her leadership of the Democratic Party.
I want to read out something that Joe Biden said back in May, and this is, I have to thank
Matt Boyle from Breitbart for the hat tip there.
What Biden said, the values of diversity, equality, inclusion, the famous DEI, are literally,
and this is not kidding, the core strengths of America.
That's why I'm proud to have the most diverse administration in history that taps into the full talents of our country.
And it starts at the top with the Vice President.
So three months ago, less than three months ago, President Magoo, in Philadelphia, explicitly refers to his vice president as a D.E.I.
hire.
When the Democrats say that, it's okay, it's fine.
When Republicans say exactly the same thing, they're racist and misogynist.
What do you think about that?
You've got a minute now before we go to the break.
What do you think about that difference in standards and how the mainstream media gives
always a free pass to the Democrats on these issues?
batya ungar-sargon
I hope that your audience will forgive me for saying this.
This is the one issue where I think it's best not to say the truth.
Of course, she's a DEI hire.
Joe Biden explicitly said he wanted to hire a black woman.
Republicans, conservatives, don't talk about it.
President Trump is polling at 40% of black men.
This is historic.
If even one of them switches sides because they don't like hearing the DEI because it rings to them a little bit untoward, why sacrifice even one of those men who deserves to vote on their economic interests for the person who is representing them?
Why not address every criticism of Kamala Harris to that 40% of black men who have historically decided to switch sides finally?
This is a historic moment.
And I would say every criticism of Kamala Harris should be pitched at those men who deserve to be part of the MAGA coalition.
Do not, I'm begging you, I'm begging everybody, do not alienate them on this point.
unidentified
There is so much else to criticize her for.
ben harnwell
Great point.
I have a response to that.
We'll discuss this after the break in two minutes.
Bhatia, I think the response to what you were saying before the break is why the Republicans... Now, I think...
Speaker Mike No-Johnson would very much agree with you because he has put out the order to his caucus not to refer to Kamala as... No, he's No-Johnson.
There's no other way of putting it.
The guy is bereft in the testicular department.
And we have to say that if we don't say this on the war room, it's not going to be said.
No.
He has put out a notice to his caucus saying that they shouldn't call Kamala a D.E.I. hire,
which I don't think is sustainable looking back now at what President Biden, President Biden
himself said just three months ago.
I think that, you know, you might have been able to have made the argument that you are
making before the assassination attempt on Donald Trump.
Once you saw how badly that went down, and that's because the Secret Service is riven
now with woke political correctness, I think it's a national security issue.
I don't think the GOP, personally, I don't think the GOP should be shying away from this issue.
There are plenty of women that the Democrats could have tapped to be their nominee, plenty women of color, as well as candidates of color of either
sex.
The fact is that Kamala Harris herself is woefully incapable of fulfilling the duties,
the responsibilities of a competent commander in chief.
That is the issue.
And she's there for all the wrong reasons.
And I don't see how we can go into an election that's going to be as tense and as contested
as the one in November.
batya ungar-sargon
and hold back from a significant, legitimate argument against her candidacy.
For the simple reason that like many of the Democrats at that top tier, top echelon, she believes in nothing and has no convictions and no plan for helping the American working class achieve the American dream.
So I agree with you that she's not a great pick for president, but why not just say that?
Why give any ammunition?
say it in a way that a person who's not steeped in the news and in the terminology might hear
it as a racial attack, even though I know, God forbid, nobody is meaning it in that way.
We're relying on people to be very keyed in, and it's super online to understand that the
point that's being made is she was chosen because of that, and she was unqualified irrespective
What if somebody, what if a bunch of people who are just getting this third hand are going to hear it as she is unqualified because of that, God forbid?
You know, we shouldn't rely on people who are working so hard.
I mean, the whole point of Donald Trump's pitch is the American working class works unbelievably hard and cannot achieve the most modest version of the American dream that the elites In Hollywood, that the elites in Washington and that the elites in the media take for granted, these ghouls who spend their lives lying to the American people are all rich.
And the people who work really hard cannot afford a home, right?
That is Donald Trump's pitch, right?
And part of that pitch is understanding these people do not have the time to be keyed in at the level that we are to the discourse because they're trying to feed their families in Joe Biden's economy, right?
And I would just say, You know, make the pitch in a way that someone who's listening with half an ear, who for the first time in their life is considering voting for Republican, doesn't get turned off.
I hear what you're saying.
It's not that they haven't fought dirty, they fought dirty.
It's not that a third of Democrats wish Donald Trump had been killed.
I mean, can you believe it?
It's not that they are not ugly and aggressive and empty, right?
And have nothing but this appeal to the symbolic.
That is all true.
And yet.
Let us love the American people enough to make the case in a way that the people we know are struggling and working all day will not have an excuse, even if they're misunderstanding, to be turned off.
ben harnwell
Yeah, you're absolutely right, by the way, about that statistic about the 30% of Democrats who wished Donald Trump had actually been killed on the 13th of July.
I wonder, and I don't mean this flippantly, Bhatia, I wonder what that percentage would be amongst the GOP representatives in the House and in the Senate.
I think there'd be a few people there that went to bed late on Sunday.
No, no, no.
I went to bed late on Saturday night, sort of somewhat disappointed with that result.
But where can people go to keep up with your writings?
And again, do you want to just mention your book Second Class there as well, that I'll flag up for people to consider?
batya ungar-sargon
Yes, yes.
You could buy my book on Amazon or on encounterbooks.com.
It's called Second Class, How the Elites Betrayed America as Working Men and Women.
American hero Steve Bannon once called it the antidote to white rural rage, and that is exactly what it is.
It is about the good-hearted, blessed nature of the American working class.
I'm on Twitter at BungerSargon.
I'm on Instagram at BatyaUS.
I'm the opinion editor at Newsweek.
And God bless you all.
God bless Steve Bannon and hopefully, you know, we can maintain this amazing feeling that I think a lot of us have right now.
God bless you all.
And let's keep praying for a more united, more perfect union.
ben harnwell
Thanks so much for coming on the show today.
We'll catch up again with you soon.
God bless.
batya ungar-sargon
God bless you.
ben harnwell
Darren Beattie now.
Firstly, I want to talk to you about the dark money that's rolling around the Democrats, because obviously they're presenting themselves now.
We heard this in the cold open at the beginning of the show.
They're presenting themselves as the empathic party, that they really have the concerns of ordinary working people.
Americans at heart.
It's all a hoax, obviously, and I want to talk to you about why the dark money is flooding
into the DNC right now.
But first, do you have any response to Abartia, who was just saying about Kamala Harris's
unsuitability?
unidentified
Well, a lot of things.
darren j beattie
First of all, it's great to be great to be with you.
And as to the dark money, look, this is it flows through the Democrat machine.
The Democrats, if they have anything, have machinery.
You're seeing that machinery in terms of finances.
You're going to see more and more of that machinery in terms of the Election infrastructure.
You're seeing that machinery in the media, in the full court press to make Kamala into something attractive to voters.
And the key word here is machinery.
What the Democrats have is unfortunately a very sophisticated and traditionally very effective machine.
But the machine terminology serves to underscore the contrast here.
In a machine political system, the human beings wearing the suits and reading the scripts are interchangeable.
Any one of these people are interchangeable.
In fact, Biden actually provided a very rare and acute moment of honesty in our political system, of transparency in our political system, precisely because He was so manifestly diminished that it was clear to anyone with eyes to see that he wasn't really in charge.
The system was charged.
And so, Biden's very presidency served to underscore and highlight Just how central the system is and how irrelevant and ultimately replaceable the people are who come and go through the system.
By contrast, Trump is basically the opposite.
He's the last true man in the arena.
He may be the only man in American politics.
In fact, he probably is the only man in American politics who is not, at the end of the day, interchangeable because It's not ultimately about what script you read, what policies you promote, and Trump's policies are obviously far superior and would lead to more success in our country.
But when it comes to leadership, The script, anything, you can have anybody read the same script, talk the same talking points.
What Trump has is something that cannot be captured in those terms.
It's something that cannot be exchanged out for someone else.
And that is a direct connection.
to his supporters and to the American people.
And that's why I think that iconic image of how Trump acted immediately after the narrowly failed assassination attempt, pumping his fist, saying, fight, fight, fight, that kind of display of leadership, of human leadership, that connects on such a powerful human level that transcends politics, really, that taps into this Really kind of primal and even spiritual kind of connection that people have with other people and moving images like that That's something that cannot be taught.
It's something that cannot be learned It's something that cannot simply be swapped out So I think at a kind of at a broad level What we're seeing here beyond all the policies, which I'd love to get into we're seeing A matchup between the system writ large, the impersonal system and the last true human leader, who is the man in the arena, and that's Donald Trump.
ben harnwell
I think it's absolutely spot on to say that there is something human and unique and genuine about Donald Trump in an era that's been dominated by synthetic politicians.
Donald Trump is an authentic person.
You either like him or you don't, but he's an authentic person.
Now, you're talking about the machinery that is the Democratic Party.
One other aspect, of course, beyond sort of acting as a siphon for all this mysterious dark money is obviously the election integrity point.
I'm going to mention this basically to all the guests today.
We've got just like a few seconds, half a minute before the break, and then we'll come back and finish, finish this off.
But Rasmussen Reports carried this poll, which they brought onto the show yesterday, Mark Mitchell, saying that 65, this is a national poll, 65% of respondents are concerned It doesn't surprise me, but I think we need to focus on winning when we get back from the break.
Let's talk about Kamala's really atrocious weaknesses.
of Democrats. 10 seconds down, BT, does that result surprise you?
unidentified
It doesn't surprise me, but I think we need to focus on winning. When we get back from the
break, let's talk about Kamala's really atrocious weaknesses. I think that's important to understand.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bamm.
ben harnwell
Welcome back to the Warren.
Darren Beattie.
We're just talking before the break about election integrity.
I have a problem with what you were saying, if I may say this.
This is a point I always read every comment that's posted on my Getty feed.
And I'm just going to speak now for the War Room posse.
It's a concern I share a thousand percent.
Nothing that was That was nothing about the factors to do with the stolen election in 2020 have substantially been dealt with after three and a half years.
And the soundings coming out of the Trump campaign that November needs to be too big to rig, I don't buy that as an election strategy.
But do you want to pick up With that in mind, from what you were saying just before the break on this issue to do with election integrity and the 55% of Democrats that fear there's going to be some cheating this November, 65% of Americans nationally.
darren j beattie
Yeah, well, obviously it's a concern.
It's always a concern.
And the question is, what can we do about it?
And when?
And how do we kind of prioritize within our bandwidth availability as to what's the best way to actually beat Kamala Harris in November?
So I think it's very great to talk about all of these things, but I think if we get too caught up in the idea of things being stolen, we can lose sight of what it would require to achieve victory, because it's not going to be a fair fight, but we have to win nonetheless.
And stolen can mean a lot of things, you know, stolen and rigged can mean a lot of things.
We see a certain type of rigging in the form of the media going totally lockstep to promote Kamala Harris.
We've seen them completely whitewashing her entire career, including the fact that she was a border czar, which is, interestingly enough, a kind of tacit admission that her record as a border czar was absolutely atrocious.
Otherwise, why would they be so desperate to hide the fact that she held that title?
They're going to be similarly desperate to scrub her record as a major proponent of the Black Lives Matter chaos.
that unfolded in 2020 and as a kind of symbolic friend to all of these chaotic and violent protest movements that have held the country hostage for far too long.
She's an extreme woman.
She's an extreme candidate.
She has in the Senate supported squatter laws to make it more easy for squatters to go in and ruin people's private property, take people's private property.
She has gone after the police every chance she can get, and ordinary Americans are looking and they're seeing footage, if not directly in front of them, cases of people going in and robbing stores with impunity, filth on the streets, crime on the streets, rampant inflation, more hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and unlimited hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars shipped off to Ukraine.
To enrich oligarchs at the expense of Ukrainians, Russians and American citizens alike.
And the average person is looking at this and saying, yeah, it's nice that Kamala is dancing around.
It's nice that she's having a good time.
But while she's having a great time, the country is being run into the ground.
And I don't think anyone seriously thinks that she's the best person to fix The mess that she left us along with her kind of weekend at Bernie's president, Joe Biden, who, as we spoke earlier in the break, was never really a president in any meaningful sense.
Another fact that frankly Kamala lied about in telling us along with the entire media that's lying to us now about how great Kamala is.
They lied to us up till like the last month about Biden's cognitive fitness.
ben harnwell
Let me finish with this question to you today, because there's this general debate going on in the GOP whether Republicans should push hard on the fact that Kamala Harris is a DEI hire or whether they should back off from that.
Where do you come down on that line?
darren j beattie
Well, I think different messages resonate with different people.
I think it suffices to say that she's an extreme candidate.
She's a far left candidate.
The types of things that she has affinity for.
Look, she was very involved in supporting the Black Lives Matter protests that engulf many of our cities in flames.
She was right front and center supporting the movement to defund the police.
As the borders are, that they're trying to cover up the fact that she was the borders are, she helped oversee the worst invasion in our country's history.
The point we don't have a border over 8 million people have been flooding in.
Many of whom have criminal and violent intent.
So if you want to call that DEI, if you want to call that something else, It's all of these things that have happened to the country.
It's common sense that they're running our country into the ground.
It's common sense that we don't want inflation run rampant.
But it's also common sense, frankly, looking at Kamala Harris, that she's not up to the task of fixing any of these things.
So I think, you know, that basic reality can be communicated in a variety of ways.
But no matter how you express it, the underlying fact is there.
She's extreme, she's out of touch, she's having a grand old time laughing and dancing while the country's being driven into the ground by the policies that she's supported from day one.
ben harnwell
And cackling.
She's cackling as well.
Darren Beatty, Senior Editor of Revolver News, thanks for coming on the show today.
Where can folks go to keep up with your analysis and your commentary?
darren j beattie
Well, she's also hiding a very dark secret about January 6th, the Secret Service and the pipe bomb.
It's the biggest story in the country.
Everyone needs to go to revolver.news, read it and share it.
If you haven't seen it, this is going to develop into the major story of this whole election, if it unfolds the way I think it will.
revolver.news, go to the piece on Kamala Harris, Amazing.
Darren Beattie, thanks very much.
Have a great day.
The Secret Service is very much implicated as well.
unidentified
God bless.
darren j beattie
So stay tuned.
Read it.
Share it.

The petrodollar is crumbling before our eyes.
Saudi Arabia just declined to renew the 50-year-long petrodollar agreement, which means the US dollar's global dominance is now riding on fumes.
How much longer until the dollar crashes in value?
Nobody knows for sure, but it's always best to be prepared.
I believe owning gold is the best solution.
Why?
Because gold safeguards your savings outside the dollar-connected financial system.

Alex de Grasse, good morning to you.
Now, we're just obviously talking about Kamala Harris and her wider unsuitability to be commander in chief.
There's a general debate going on whether the GOP should be hitting hard on the fact that she is a DEI hire, as President Biden himself openly said when he was down in Philadelphia, I think on May the 28.
I'll ask you for your take on this, because people have different views.
I think both sides are legitimate.
I think the GOP should absolutely go very hard on this fact.
I also want to come and talk to you about the... Let's go to that.
I also then want to ask you about the Rasmussen poll.
There's a majority of Americans, a clear majority, are expecting some cheating going on in November.
And then I also want to pivot to talk about this result where six Democrats voted to censure Kamala Harris for her incompetence on the southern border.
So let's go firstly to the wider question, because Speaker Mike Noe-Johnson has said that the GOP should stay clear of pushing on the DEI higher factor.
What's your view on this?
alex degrasse
Yeah, my view is that we should be focused on the issues specifically on the policies.
There's so much there with Kamala Harris.
The Democrats are looking to bait Republicans and play the racism card, which will greatly benefit them, to be honest with you, which is what the polling shows.
And when you look at Kamala Harris, you look at she owns, as this audience knows, and thank you for having me on, that Kamala owns everything that Joe Biden, all his disastrous policies, which are her policies, and actually even more, When you look at her record in California, she's a California leftist.
Her record is so atrocious, and that's what I believe, humbly, that really needs to be litigated, whether it be just today, CNN with a major article out regarding her support for the defund the police movement.
It's really as simple as saying all these policies that Joe Biden does support and we've sort of assigned for him, she says it on video, right?
So taxpayer benefits for illegal immigrants.
She's on video, I think a minute and 30 seconds straight, Dan Scavino posted it, just continually saying over 20 times, You know, it's not, you know, being an illegal immigrant or, you know, it's not a crime to come across the border undocumented.
So we have a goldmine of issues that I believe we should be focused on.
And I actually don't believe we need to go in that direction, in my humble opinion, because it's really a matter of swing voters at this point.
They're juicing up their base and there's some voters up for grab.
And the policy issues of her far left agenda are the most effective talking points.
ben harnwell
OK, let's go for the swing voters aspect here in the six swing states.
Coming back to the Rasmussen reports poll that I mentioned earlier.
Here in the swing votes, the national average here is 65% are expecting cheating to take place in November 2024.
In the swing states, the six swing states, that figure is actually slightly lower, only 62%.
But it's a clear majority of Americans who are concerned about this.
Are you surprised by the breakdown of these results?
alex degrasse
No, I'm not surprised at all.
I mean, the Democrats are vicious.
They'll stop at nothing.
I think we've obviously seen that play out with how they launched the coup against Biden.
Obviously, the vast issues with 2020.
This weekend's an important weekend.
I don't know if Denver is able to put it up.
Across the country, President Trump's campaign is hosting the 100 Day Out victory project for election integrity.
And so the goal is to be training tens of thousands of poll watchers and legal experts and election officials.
So you can go to www.protectthevote.com and you can sign up because the most important way to volunteer is to protect and secure your vote.
We're going to need to get eyes on every ballot, every counting room, every mail ballot being opened.
And that's going to require, I think they put out a hundred, we need like a hundred thousand trained people in the battleground states.
And that is the most important thing for this audience to get involved in.
So that's www.protectthevote.com because we have to take action on this.
ben harnwell
Yeah, Alex, look, a third time, would you just repeat those details of where people should go?
Folks, get out your number two pencil and make a note of this.
I strongly recommend you go make a note of this and register yourselves up.
Alex, what are those details once again?
alex degrasse
You can go to www.protectthevote.com.
It's then organized by states.
So we're doing New York, there's California.
So not just the presidential swing states because, you know, every election is going to matter.
The House, the Senate, local races.
It's all important that we can give President Trump a unified Republican government.
And so this weekend, which is on March on Sunday, that's 100 days until election.
There'll be a series of trainings and virtual zooms on how to get involved.
ben harnwell
OK, that's great.
Alex, stand by.
We'll be back in two minutes after the break to talk about the vote in yesterday's.
unidentified
Here's your host, Stephen K. Vance.
ben harnwell
Welcome back.
So yesterday, I think a resolution was introduced into the House by Elise Stefanik, strongly condemning Vice President Kamala Harris and the Biden administration for botching the U.S.
border crisis.
And the interesting thing, Alex de Grasse, about this resolution is that it actually had six Democrats joining in with Republicans.
It was therefore a bipartisan resolution.
Can you explain a bit about the background to this and what it means to you, the fact that Democrats were actually buying in to this condemnation?
alex degrasse
I think it's really interesting because you could see a memo just leaked, and I think the Daily Caller has it.
I'll try to send it in if you guys want to talk about it later, but they're in full overdrive trying to cover up her involvement.
We call her the Open Borders-R instead of the Borders-R.
Obviously, Biden did put her in charge of the border.
It's widely known.
It's heavily reported.
I think they're even editing articles.
It's very Orwellian.
It's one of the most damaging polling issues for her.
The border is the number one issue for Americans and they see Kamala Harris as someone that's directly responsible, as she is.
And so right as the sort of coup happened and they put up Kamala, you know, my boss, Elise, put together the resolution.
to quickly move to condemn with unified Republicans to get it on the record.
And six Democrats nowadays is very rare.
You might get one, two, you know, either which side when bills go through.
But for six, that's a lot.
And the mainstream media, some of the congressional reporters are covering it, but NBC and some of these big networks have not acknowledged this fact, which is devastating for their narrative saying, oh, she was never the border czar.
So it's sort of interesting how this is playing out, but it's very important.
And we continue to push the record.
I think this is something that's going to come up in the debate, that Democrats acknowledge her culpability in this open border.
Now, will Congresswoman Stefanik be introducing similar resolutions to this in the future, given the fact that there is now, at least up until November, a bipartisan consensus on the fact I mean, we know where Republicans stand, voters know where Democrats stand, but when you have Democrats joining us, it's very, very powerful to voters, especially swing voters, because you're able to say, hey, you know, Democrats are great, Kamala Harris is responsible, and that's a very potent message.
So we expect to see that Weaponized against Kamala Harris and ads and everything else.
So it was a great tactical move.
I think you're going to see more Democrats jumping ship from her because she is deeply damaging in swing districts, which is going to determine Congress.
So that's why you're seeing a lot of Democrats not endorse her while they do happen to own all of her policies since they voted lock, stop and barrel with the Biden-Harris agenda.
You're starting to see some of them jump ship, just like they did with Biden.
And so it's sort of interesting how that will play out.
Very weakened Democrat Party, even with all the narrative and excitement about Kamala Harris.
That's the signal, not the noise, of course.
ben harnwell
Now, as the executive director of Team Elise, can I ask, what can you guys do to take this resolution?
And I repeat the words here, I quote, strongly condemned, right?
What can you guys do to take the result of this resolution to the swing states?
the six swing states to make this resonate even more, given the fact that the mainstream
media is trying to rewrite history and a fresh new narrative in real time in front of our
very eyes.
You've got about three minutes as we go up to the hour.
alex degrasse
Thank you.
So, you know, my role is really focused on the House directly, though.
We're sort of involved in everything.
And so, yes, while it's great that we had six Democrats vote, quite a lot of swing district Democrats that did not vote.
And I believe there's actually more unrelated than six swing states.
I think there's some more states in play, maybe about nine.
But in Congress, we've got about 40 seats we're targeting, 20, 25, 30 seats sort of on defense.
And so these Democrats, especially obviously the ones on offense, not many of them voted.
So you've got Democrats that voted in.
Opposition to Khedem and Kamala Harris, and they will be held account for that.
And so we plan on obviously prosecuting the case on these Democrats that are culpable, just as Kamala Harris is in the border crisis.
And it's very deadly for Democrats.
And I think they're going to be a lot of trouble because we have to desperately pick up 10, 15 more seats to give President Trump a very sizable majority to pass his agenda.
ben harnwell
Alex, let's just remind ourselves what the six swing states are.
Arizona, Nevada, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan.
You mentioned three other states that you think potentially here is being in play.
Could you just tell me a bit more in the remaining two minutes of the show, in the first hour.
Could you just tell me a bit more about those three states which you think are actually in play?
alex degrasse
Yeah, so certainly Minnesota, the president is playing heavily in.
Virginia, the races are tied.
And we have polling out now in New Jersey where the race has been tied.
And so you've got those three seats there.
New Jersey is very interesting.
I think there will be some other states as well that I believe the president's campaign has publicly said that they're targeting.
And I believe are considered battleground states.
So I'll run through all of them.
You've got Arizona, you've got Nevada, and I think New Mexico, they're sort of looking at, and I think even that might be coming online.
You've got Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Virginia, obviously New Jersey, Minnesota.
So the map is expanding and it has expanded.
Certainly when Biden was the candidate, but now with Kamala, we have not seen any shift in those seats and the polls I've seen.
ben harnwell
So it's one minute, one minute left.
Look quickly.
The mainstream media is trying to shift the narrative.
One of the ways it's trying to do that is dumping very hard right now on J.D.
Vance saying he's actually now a drag on the tickets rather than a plus because of President Magoo's dropping out.
What's your take on that?
Do you think there's any substance to that or is it simply mainstream media's fictional narrative as per usual?
alex degrasse
Yeah, the mainstream media is desperately doing anything they can to change the fact that they were accomplices in a coup against a Democrat.
Candidate who had a big 7 million votes or whatever that number was and is being replaced by someone who's never even been on a federal ballot for president, right?
She dropped out before Iowa and now she's running anointed by the DNC with no votes ever cast and with the most liberal record in the history of any Senate and anything else.
I mean, that's what GovTrack has said based off of the legislation that she supported publicly.
And now they're trying to change it.
unidentified
So everything is all noise, all the distraction.
ben harnwell
Alex, thanks for coming on the show this morning.
Quickly, where can people go to stay up with your insights and your analysis?
