| This is what you're fighting for. | ||
| I mean, every day you're out there. | ||
| What they're doing is blowing people off. | ||
| If you continue to look the other way and shut up, then the oppressors, the authoritarians, get total control and total power. | ||
| Because this is just like in Arizona. | ||
| This is just like in Georgia. | ||
| It's another element that backs them into a corner and shows their lies and misrepresentations. | ||

This is why this audience is going to have to get engaged. | |

All this nonsense, all this spin, they can't handle the truth. | |
| War Room, Battleground. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| I don't want to be that person that's hatin', but I guess I gotta be. | ||
| Do you see this new-ass building? | ||
| New. | ||
| Brand spankin' new. | ||
| Supposed to be an apartment, but it's a shelter. | ||
| And so I go and I'm like, all right, so what's shelter? | ||
| And they're like, it's not a woman's shelter. | ||
| It's a family shelter. | ||
| I'm like, okay, family intake shelter. | ||
| Yeah, but only for immigrants. | ||
| Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait Like, what? | ||
| How about the f***ing homeless people that are already here? | ||
| Americans. | ||
| Like, I don't want to be that person that sounds like, you know, Ameri-close-to-border type s***. | ||
| But like, what the f***? | ||
| What the f***? | ||
| Brand spanking f***ing new. | ||
| Like, everything brand spanking f***ing new. | ||
| Selling f***ing rap, bro. | ||
| Like, and that was a f***ing shelter. | ||
| Like, what? | ||
| We are here today because there is an attempt To put our neighborhood back 30 years in time, when there was stabbings and drugs and assaults, fights, fear, and killings. | ||
| It used to be called Murder Avenue. | ||
| There is simply no universe where you can cram 4,000 vulnerable people together safely. | ||
| Do you believe us now? | ||
| How many more murders will it take? | ||
| On the other side of the shelter, there's a homeless man who was frustrated after being | ||
| kicked out of the shelter for not being a migrant. | ||
| What's this bus here for right now? | ||
| They're going to take them to a hotel. | ||
| And me, an American citizen, born and raised here, I'm going to battery-parked to sleep | ||
| on a bench. | ||
| So do you think what's going on is right? | ||
| You know what, man? | ||
| Let me say, you can swear. | ||
| You can swear. | ||
| Oh yeah? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I'm f*****, we need the orange man back in office. | ||
| Trump. | ||
| Why do you need Trump? | ||
| Because I need that man, the orange dude, to close the border. | ||
| And, you know, Democrats are full of sh**. | ||
| I was a Democrat, but now I'm starting to realize Democrats get welfare. | ||
| Food stamps. | ||
| You know the legal is coming in now? | ||
| You know what Democrats are doing with them? | ||
| just for votes. | ||
| I'm going to go ahead and vote. | ||
| My name is Jane Zirkle, filling in for political prisoner Steve Bannon. | ||
| And tonight, we'll be taking War Room Battleground back to its roots of showcasing the grassroots and celebrating the human agency that Steve Bannon has inspired. | ||
| So what you just saw there was a protest that happened over the weekend, took place on the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City, as hundreds of Asian New Yorkers expressed outrage over the attempt of New York City to put a Homeless shelter in their community. | ||
| And of course this isn't just going to be a homeless shelter for homeless Americans, but rather it is going to be turned into a migrant shelter that is plaguing the city and causing an uptick in migrant crime. | ||
| I want to bring in our first guest, Gavin Wax. | ||
| He is the president of the New York City Young Republican Club. | ||
| Gavin, I would like to get your reaction to this weekend's protests and give us some background about this particular event and what's going on with the councilwoman who it also centered around. | ||
| Well, thank you for having me, Jane. | ||
| And what we're seeing on the scenes you just played in the streets of New York on the Brooklyn Bridge, it's basically just a bubbling up of frustration with the city government, with the state government, with the policies that have been enacted by the one party rule of this city and state. | ||
| They have been continuously putting the needs and well-being of illegal migrants over the many needy New Yorkers who are struggling, you | ||
| know, with rising rents, with high costs of living, with crime and all the other societal ills that | ||
| Democrat one-party rule has brought onto this city and state. | ||
| So what we've seen recently is that certain districts in the outer boroughs of New York | ||
| have been shifting to the right. | ||
| They've been moving towards Republicans for the first time. | ||
| We have the largest number of city council members from the Republican Party serving | ||
| in the council in generations. | ||
| And that's really because of the failures of City Hall in Albany and their, you know, | ||
| far leftist Marxist style politicking. | ||
| And what is the city government doing in response to these shifts? | ||
| You know, in these districts that even Lee Zeldin won are flipping either to be controlled by Republican members of the city council or conservative Democrats who caucus with Republican members. | ||
| Well, they're punishing those districts. | ||
| They're punishing those districts by putting homeless shelters in areas that they know they're not getting voters from. | ||
| So they're not putting these homeless shelters, you know, among many wealthy New York, among neighborhoods where many wealthy New Yorkers live and work, who typically vote and donate for the Democrat machine. | ||
| No, they're putting them in outer borough working class neighborhoods, in this case, Asian American neighborhoods, working class in Brooklyn. | ||
| They're also doing it in other communities, white working class. | ||
| Hispanic working class, black working class, all these areas that are shifting, they're bearing the brunt of these ridiculous policies. | ||
| And you heard it from these videos. | ||
| It's reached a point where, you know, homeless people on the street are giving better political insight into what's causing this because they want votes. | ||
| They're bringing in destitute people, many of whom are criminals. | ||
| They're rapists. | ||
| They're murderers. | ||
| They're bringing them into this country because they want votes. | ||
| They want to replace Americans. | ||
| New York City has the highest number of homeless people since I believe the Great Depression, including many homeless families, homeless children. | ||
| The homeless shelters are basically like open air methadone clinics, drugs, crime, raping, stabbings. | ||
| They're a disaster. | ||
| You bring this into a community, the entire community sinks with it. | ||
| And this comes on the heel of other news. | ||
| Recently, we saw they were converting a high school. | ||
| They were shutting down a high school in Brooklyn, in another district, in Councilwoman Ina Vernikov's district, and turning it into a temporary migrant shelter because they have nowhere to put these people. | ||
| So they're taking over buildings. | ||
| They're taking over institutions. | ||
| They're taking over schools. | ||
| I don't know what's next, but many New Yorkers can't afford rent. | ||
| They can't afford to live in their own home. | ||
| They're leaving the city in droves. | ||
| And what is the city focused on? | ||
| They're focused on giving out debit cards to criminals, letting these criminals walk away scot-free. | ||
| We saw the incident that happened in Times Square, where police officers were attacked by these Venezuelan migrants, these criminal gang members. | ||
| And what did Alvin Bragg do? | ||
| He gave them the bare minimum sentence, and it was a sentence that would enable them to avoid federal deportation. | ||
| So the situation is reaching a boiling point. | ||
| It's absolutely ridiculous. | ||
| Well, the sentiment was clear from the protesters who were there over the weekend that they do not want their son or daughter to become the next Lakin Riley. | ||
| And this is a direct result of really Kamala Harris, the point person who was put in charge of the southern border. | ||
| Gavin, how do we take this message national? | ||
| How do we make this border crisis the dominating headline? | ||
| Because as Peter Navarro said just a few days ago, when policy is a dominating headline, that's when Republicans and ultimately President Trump wins in the 2024 election. | ||
| So how do we drill this message down through November? | ||
| Well, Jane, I can tell you one thing. | ||
| We cannot soften our message going into November. | ||
| We need to continually message on mass deportations and closing the border. | ||
| This is a winning issue for us politically. | ||
| We're on the right side of history, and there are tons of Americans. | ||
| You saw it in the clips you played in the open. | ||
| These are not Republican voters. | ||
| These are not traditional, you know, conservative Trump voters. | ||
| These are people that have just reached They're sick of it. | ||
| They're sick of our government putting the needs of foreigners ahead of their own veterans, their own homeless veterans, their own homeless families, their own struggling Americans who are dying from opioids, who are dying from crime. | ||
| They're sick of it. | ||
| They want to see a situation, they want to see a government that's actually putting their needs first. | ||
| So if we continue to message on that, we will continue to see massive gains. | ||
| It's no surprise that President Trump came to the Bronx, of all places, one of the bluest areas in the country, | ||
| and had 20, 25,000 people there lining up to see him in the park, | ||
| to see him cheering him on. | ||
| No Republican has ever gotten that kind of reception, not Reagan, nobody. | ||
| And certainly, I don't think any Democrat or Republican, current, past, or present, | ||
| could get that sort of reception because he's speaking to the needs of the people. | ||
| He's speaking to an issue and a crisis that's completely manufactured by the beltway. | ||
| It's completely manufactured by the failed border czar, Harris. | ||
| And we just need to keep hitting that message home and not soften our image at all. | ||
| Build the wall, mass deportations, round them up, more funding for border security, | ||
| more funding for initiatives that are going to find these people, | ||
| return them home, ending sanctuary city policies, and coming down hard on local officials in New York | ||
| and elsewhere, cutting off these federal funds so they can no longer play games with the future of our | ||
| country. | ||
| Now, Gavin, you are president of a very well-organized grassroots organization, but you're not in a swing state. | ||
| And one of the main questions that I've been seeing recently is, while I don't live in a swing state, how can I get involved and really invest my time and energy into the states that are going to ultimately decide this election? | ||
| Talk to me about how the New York Young Republican Club has invested time and energy into swing states, particularly with the phone baking event that you recently did with Trump Talk. | ||
| Yeah, absolutely, Jane. | ||
| We are not sitting on the sidelines just because we're in deep blue New York City and deep blue New York. | ||
| I mean, I'll talk about the swing state and the status of New York towards the end of this, but we are activating our 1,200 members, our thousands and thousands of followers and subscribers to get them to phone bank for President Trump. | ||
| They can phone bank anywhere. | ||
| They can phone bank at our clubhouse. | ||
| They can phone bank from home. | ||
| There are prizes. | ||
| There's competitions. | ||
| You can win things. | ||
| We're making it a competitive, fun experience, but it's an experience. | ||
| actually meaningful, reaching voters, more voter contact. | ||
| We can do it, and this isn't the first time we've done it. | ||
| It's certainly not gonna be the end of it. | ||
| We're gonna be doing this all the way through November with more events, with more organization. | ||
| If you're in the city, if you're in the tri-state area, you can get involved. | ||
| Doesn't matter if you're a member or not. | ||
| But in addition to this, we were on the front lines during the primary and during the general election, | ||
| sending volunteers up to New Hampshire, sending volunteers down to South Carolina. | ||
| We will continue to send volunteers, get them to different parts of the country. | ||
| We're not that far from PA. | ||
| We're not that far from New Hampshire. | ||
| And frankly, looking at New Jersey, right over the river, I'm not a big fan of Jersey, but it's there. | ||
| We'll go to it. | ||
| We'll venture into dirty Jersey and campaign for the president in that state, | ||
| which appears to be a swing state. | ||
| And looking at New York, polling is tightening. | ||
| Polling is certainly tightening. | ||
| We've had Mark Levine, the absentee borough president of Manhattan, a complete Marxist. | ||
| He was commenting that they're getting scared about what's happening in New York. | ||
| They feel the pressure. | ||
| They see the sentiment. | ||
| President Trump had some fantastic stops here, meeting with union workers, meeting with the bodega leaders, meeting with his supporters and followers in the Bronx. | ||
| This is a state where I know your next guest, Alex, is going to talk about congressional races that are going to dominate the House pass through New York. | ||
| This is a state that's shifting to the right. | ||
| And let's go on the offense. | ||
| Let's make Dems play defense for once. | ||
| Yes, so for all of you who are not in a swing state, you can go to talk.donaldjtrump.com and phone bank for President Trump. | ||
| It will connect you to swing state voters. | ||
| It will provide you with a script as to what to say to them. | ||
| Make sure that they are voting in this election for President Trump. | ||
| Gavin, where can the posse follow you and support the New York Young Republican Club's grassroots efforts? | ||
| Well, thank you again for having me on, Jane. | ||
| You can follow me at Gavin Wax on X, Instagram, and all social media. | ||
| GavinWax.com, that's my website for my latest articles, and NYYRC, at NYYRC, NYYRC.com, the New York and Republican Club. | ||
| We're the largest and oldest Republican club in the country. | ||
| We are fighting for President Trump in the belly of the beast. | ||
| Get involved if you're in the metro area, the tri-state area, and also check out the guys behind me, the Center for Fundamental Rights. | ||
| They host the CPAC Conference. | ||
| Here in Hungary, they're doing amazing work. | ||
| We just launched Wokebusters to fight the nonsense we're seeing in New York, but also globally. | ||
| This is an issue that's facing all the countries of Europe. | ||
| We just saw stabbings in the UK, killing three young girls from migrants there. | ||
| This is not an isolated incident to the United States or to New York. | ||
| It's a global problem. | ||
| We need to fight back wherever it exists. | ||
| Migrant crime is running rampant throughout the globe. | ||
| Thank you so much, Gavin Wax. | ||
| And that website, once again, is talk.donaldjtrump.com to make phone calls for President Trump. | ||
| Let's bring in our next guest, Alex DeGrasse. | ||
| Alex, give us a rundown on the polling in the battleground states. | ||
| We know that the polls have been tightening since the Democrats have inserted Kamala Harris. | ||
| Give us the update. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| It's great to be here in the War Room, and especially an honor sitting in Steve's chair, of course, who everyone is praying for. | ||
| And as I say always, when I go around the country, everyone's always asking, have we spoken to Steve? | ||
| Is he doing good? | ||
| So great to be here. | ||
| So the poll numbers are certainly tightening, and I think it's important, A, we I prefer that, of course, not to be the case. | ||
| But the reality is, in the Trump campaign that put this out, and I was just on a call with them earlier, is that it's really more so about sort of the structural fundamentals of this race, which is the Kamala bump, you know, the Kamala honeymoon period, that's called. | ||
| And that's really because of how much media attention she's getting, how much positive, because she's slightly more unknown, and there's certainly a solidification among their base. | ||
| among Democrats who maybe didn't support Joe Biden, but are certainly on board with Kamala Harris. | ||
| So I think this will last a little bit because you're going to traditionally see for either side, right? | ||
| When you get a vice presidential pick, you see typically maybe a slight bump in sort of the positive media. | ||
| And then during the convention too, which the Democrats are going into, that sort of standard on either side of the | ||
| aisle. | ||
| And so I think you're going to see a couple. | ||
| This could drag in for a couple of weeks. | ||
| You're seeing the morning console poll. | ||
| Bloomberg poll shows the race tied. | ||
| You've got some races where President some polls where President Trump is up by two points, some polls that he's down by two points. | ||
| So this will be sort of a mixed bag. | ||
| But the reality is that we can't take our foot off the gas in terms of our Volunteer efforts, poll watching, getting out to vote, talking to voters, convincing independents and swing voters to come to her side. | ||
| Because Kamala Harris, of which now President Trump's campaign is obviously heavily targeting, I send over two ads. | ||
| I don't know if you guys want to play them later, but those are up heavy. | ||
| They're actually outspending Kamala Harris. | ||
| They're in the mailboxes. | ||
| They're on digital. | ||
| It's sort of a frontal effort to define Kamala, which is She's everything Joe Biden was, and she's actually more liberal as well when you look at her policies before she was the vice president, when she was in California. | ||
| It's disastrous. | ||
| It's worse than many people can even imagine, frankly. | ||
| So once voters are aware of Kamala Harris's position, her own statements, of which are on video, Which is included in President Trump's ads, which I love as a strategist. | ||
| It's always best that you take their words, right? | ||
| Their video, their words. | ||
| It's, you know, no illegal immigrant, no such thing as illegal, illegal immigrants, right? | ||
| Undocumented immigrants are not illegal. | ||
| It's not a crime. | ||
| She supports taxpayer funded benefits. | ||
| These are very deeply unpopular positions, letting out violent criminals when she was a DA, stuff like that. | ||
| Voters will be aware, and the polls will sort of come back over to being solidly in President Trump's favor. | ||
| But that being said, we can't take anything for granted, of course. | ||
| Expand a little bit more on the messaging angle. | ||
| How important is it that we make this election about policy rather than identity politics, and how really the policy is what's ultimately going to be a pathway towards victory in November? | ||
| Sure, I think discussions on identity politics are a straw position. | ||
| I think that's what Democrats would like to bait us into and so that they can talk about, cry racism and other things to juice up their base. | ||
| When you focus on the issues, which Steve would be proud of us talking about, the issue set is so much in our favor. | ||
| That is why the Democrats want to avoid talking about the issues. | ||
| Although, since I've come over to the War Room, they just put out their first ad. | ||
| Leans into the border. | ||
| It's full of lies. | ||
| Because they are bleeding support on the issues. | ||
| Border, crime, economy. | ||
| Those are the top issues with voters. | ||
| And when you dig into the polls, on the issues, President Trump leads by over 20 percentage points. | ||
| And so the more focus of all of us at every level, as Republicans, as conservatives, talking to voters, talking to swing voters, going to Trump talk, that's super important, going door-knocking, is focusing on the fact that President Trump will secure the border on day one, talking about what Kamala Harris has done as vice president and what she will do as president, because that is very toxic, of course. | ||
| And President Trump, one of the strongest aspects of his campaign is that he has a record, because he was president already. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| And so when you dig deeper into the polling, you actually see maybe some people don't like the way President Trump talks or things like that, but they will at least admit that his policies and his results as president were great. | ||
| In fact, so when you look at job approval, that's one thing. | ||
| When you, we've started asking this polling question, like, do you approve of President Trump's presidency? | ||
| When many people are looking back, that number is very high, much higher than any other metric. | ||
| And so it's important for us to channel his results and his Trump 47 agenda, which is | ||
| on his website. | ||
| No one else can speak for President Trump's agenda or position and what he will do when | ||
| he gets into the Oval Office. | ||
| So it's important to focus on the policy issues, to summarize, because the polls are that much | ||
| stronger for us when we focus on the issues. | ||
| And that is how we will bring over independence of swing voters. | ||
| And that is how we will secure this victory. | ||
| We are less than 100 days out from this election. | ||
| How important is it for people to invest their time and energy into the battleground states? | ||
| And for you as a strategist, do you have a combination of battleground states that you've seen really ultimately producing a victory for President Trump that people should really particularly focus on? | ||
| Yeah, so certainly. | ||
| I think the battleground is expanding thanks to President Trump's strong campaign and support. | ||
| I think that there's a number of states that are sort of on the peripheral that I know that President Trump's campaign has been publicly speaking about that they're looking into. | ||
| I think you look at the traditional states that we all know about. | ||
| So, you know, Arizona. | ||
| Nevada. | ||
| You know, Florida, I think, is off the map, but we still need to work very hard to ensure victory there. | ||
| Of course, Georgia, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin. | ||
| And then I think Minnesota's in play, and the president's team has invested resources into that, so that's very important. | ||
| Obviously, Pennsylvania. | ||
| And I think there's this Virginia, which they've invested in heavily. | ||
| I think New Jersey is being looked at and has been spoken about because like Gavin said, who's great by the way, of course, the polls, there's now been three or four independent polls and President Trump is tied. | ||
| And so I think that is going to be looked into certainly New Hampshire. | ||
| I think New Mexico and Washington are, you know, sort of right outside the margin. | ||
| Colorado. | ||
| So the map is going to sort of expand. | ||
| I think they're sort of back and everyone's sort of looking at things, how Kamala changes things or doesn't change. | ||
| I don't think she changes anything really in the long term. | ||
| So I think the map will expand. | ||
| So it's important. | ||
| And if you're not in a battleground state, of course, or any of those states just mentioned, you've got Senate races, Montana, West Virginia, you've got House races, which are just as important as anything else. | ||
| And the House races are everywhere. | ||
| And so I think at some point we're going to be going through like the 40 target seats that the House is targeting, which are in every state, mostly in California and New York. | ||
| Which are traditionally blue states, and so I think it's important that there's so much for people to do. | ||
| It is so important, whether you're a poll watcher, which is actually the most important thing, and then I would say, you know, talking to voters, getting out, volunteering, but being trained as a poll watcher, www.protectthevote, President Trump and the RNC's election integrity effort is the most important thing. | ||
| We need eyes on the ballot counting on every front, whether it be early votes, mail ballots, Absentee ballots, election day, making sure there's no funny business, and being trained to talk to lawyers and get law enforcement involved is critical. | ||
| We have about two minutes left. | ||
| Talk to me about the shift of these really key groups, particularly black voters, Hispanic voters, young voters, that we saw move away from Biden towards Trump. | ||
| Where do those groups stand now with Kamala's candidacy? | ||
| So there's certainly been a lot of hype on social media, which I don't understand. | ||
| I don't follow that stuff that closely. | ||
| But certainly I know people are talking about something to do with Brat Summer. | ||
| I'm not sure. | ||
| But they've got all these memes on the left, which I think is interesting. | ||
| But we haven't actually seen that translate into votes. | ||
| And so while there's a lot of chatter online, certainly the fundamentals that we saw with Biden and Trump have not changed. | ||
| And then CNN had did a big segment on the fact that, hey, they're still not seeing movement and Kamala still under reforms with African-Americans, Hispanics and young voters. | ||
| I think young voters are focused on the economy and immigration, just as anyone else, women as well, as well as Hispanics and African-Americans. | ||
| I think the segment that you started with, Jane, about the illegal immigrant, migrant | ||
| hotels, shelters, I mean, people are really upset that there's a double standard, of course, | ||
| and that American citizens are being left behind. | ||
| Kamala owns that, I mean, not only through her words, but through her actions as vice | ||
| president. | ||
| This is the most open border in the history of our country. | ||
| And not only that, but they are—we're funding it. | ||
| I mean, that's the problem here. | ||
| In New York State, taxpayers are funding illegal immigration like you have no idea. | ||
| And it's coming right out of the budget. | ||
| They're blatant about it. | ||
| And if the federal government had any more say in it, they would be doing more so. | ||
| And they already are, taxpayers. | ||
| We are on the bill for all of this madness. | ||
| And the more voters understand that, the more they run away from the Democrat Party. | ||
| Certainly among those demographic groups that you mentioned, Jane. | ||
| Alex, where can the posse follow you, get involved, give us the coordinates? | ||
| So I'm at Degrass81 on X. I'm at Getter, at Degrass, TruthSocial, and all that. | ||
| But it's so important, protectthevote.com, to get involved with that effort, and then TrumpTalk as well, like Jane mentioned. | ||
| Those are two critical things that you could do anywhere in the country and at your home in terms of calling. | ||
| So thank you, Jane. | ||
| What are those websites one more time? | ||
| www.protectthevote.com and then that's talk.donaldjtrump.com, I believe, for the Trump Talk. | ||
| But Protect the Vote, you can sign up. | ||
| They've got a list of states. | ||
| I came on here earlier to talk about it. | ||
| We had our first training 100 days out on Sunday and it was very successful. | ||
| Thousands and thousands of poll watchers being trained in key battleground areas. | ||
| That's awesome. | ||
| We need boots on the ground all the way through November. | ||
| Thank you so much, Alex. | ||
| Coming up on the other side, we have Seagal Shada, committee woman from Nevada. | ||
| We know that the Kamala campaign has really invested a lot in Nevada. | ||
| And we also have Tyler Boyer and Noah Formica from Turning Point Action. | ||
|

|
So stay tuned. | |
| My name is Jane Zirkle, filling in for political prisoner Steve Bannon. | ||
| I want to bring in my next guest, Noah Formica, who is the Turning Point Action field rep in Pennsylvania. | ||
| Noah, I know you're at the rally right now in Harrisburg. | ||
| Put us in the room. | ||
| What's going on there today? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hey, so what's going here? | |
| I mean, it's a great vibe. | ||
| We're here on the scene with Turning Point Action, also our partner Early Vote Action. | ||
| Scott Presser is actually just over there registering voters with us. | ||
| And, you know, we're talking to so many first-time voters, so many people, you know, in their 60s. | ||
| And we even talked to somebody who is 89, and he needs to register to vote as well. | ||
| But, I mean, so many people are looking to get mobilized this cycle, and, you know, we're going to do everything we can, you know, not only get them to vote in person, but then get them to vote by mail as well. | ||
| Noah, you are the field representative for Turning Point Action. | ||
| Walk us through what your job entails and how others can get involved with Turning Point Action as well to really get boots on the ground. | ||

So what I do in Turning Point Action is I go around registering voters, you know, signing people up to help us chase ballots. | |
| And, you know, we have a lot of ballots to chase here in Pennsylvania. | ||
| We have a lot of voters to register. | ||
| I mean, registering voters is fine and all, but, you know, They say 87% of those people will make it to the polls. | ||
| However, there's those people who won't make it to the polls. | ||
| So you need to make sure, you know, you not only register them, but make sure they get a mail-in ballot. | ||
| So their vote is guaranteed on election day. | ||
| I mean, that's chasing ballots. | ||
| Pennsylvania is absolutely critical to this election. | ||
| Give us an outlook on the pathway to victory for Pennsylvania. | ||
| How are we looking right now in the state? | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're looking absolutely fantastic. | |
| I can tell you our boots on the ground every single day is doing everything we can to mobilize our voter base. | ||
| And I just want to read to you guys like a few statistics we have. | ||
| So, I mean, we go to a lot of different places. | ||
| Like, so this was data from 722, and the Democrats had a voter registration advantage | ||
| of 3,000 or 368,641. | ||
| And that lead was narrowed down to 360,000. | ||
| And just this week, we narrowed that lead down another 1,000. | ||
| So in just two weeks alone, we chipped off 9,000 off the Democrat voter registration lead here in the state of Pennsylvania. | ||
| And now, to look back, I mean, if you look at 2022, the Democrats had a voter registration lead of 595,000 voters in the state of Pennsylvania. | ||
| We chipped off over $200,000 in just two years alone. | ||
| That's crazy to think about it. | ||
| And now, where are we doing this? | ||
| We're doing it at gun shows, fairs, Trump rallies, and, you know, other places like Amish markets. | ||
| I mean, just to name a few. | ||
| Like, I just spent the last 10 days at the York State Fair. | ||
| We registered over 214 people. | ||
| And then we were also at the Butler Fair, where we registered 204 people. | ||
| And then we also went to the, you know, Butler Rally, where we register 101 people. | ||
| When you go to Trump rallies, there's a lot of people consistently that aren't voting as well. | ||
| So, I mean, we're doing everything we can to mobilize them, but we're also going to gun shows as well. | ||
| I mean, just to name a few, I mean, we go to gun shows in Lebanon, in County, we go to gun shows in Vox Burks. | ||
| All these swing counties. | ||
| We even went to the Great American Outdoor Show, I mean, the registered voters, where we registered 349. | ||
| And now what's significant is, I mean, there's so many hunters in the state of Pennsylvania. | ||
| Like, we have 930,000, between 940,000 hunters, where it's 30 to 40% that don't vote. | ||
| That's the election right there, because, I mean, Joe Biden only won Pennsylvania by 80,000 votes. | ||
| Here's another group of people. | ||
| You got 80,000 Amish. | ||
| Where are they on election day? | ||
| They're out riding their buggies. | ||
| They're out having weddings. | ||
| So, I mean, you get them a mail-in ballot, they're going to vote guaranteed. | ||
| I mean, a lot of them feel comfortable to vote that way because they see it as a protected vote and nobody will know how they vote. | ||
| And, I mean, you got truckers as well. | ||
| Were they on election day? | ||
| They're out driving rigs. | ||
| So, I mean, you give them a mail-in ballot, that's another pathway to victory right there. | ||
| And then here's a big one. | ||
| 1.5 million people of faith stayed out of the 2020 election. | ||
| That's the election right there as well. | ||
| So, I mean, we're targeting all these different groups of people just to make sure they get that ballot in their hand, just to make sure they are registered. | ||
| Whatever we got to do, I mean, we got to play the game to change the game. | ||
| And that even means using mail-in ballots. | ||
| Feed them. | ||
| Play the game to change the game. | ||
| I love it. | ||
| Noah, what is your call to action to the Republican Party in Pennsylvania and Republican voters? | ||
| How can they get out and support your and Turning Point Action's efforts here? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, what you can do is you can go to tpaction.com, go to our website, sign up to get involved, join one of our great coalitions. | |
| We're going to be ballot chasing, having ballot chasing events. | ||
| And we're doing this in all the different swing states. | ||
| We need as many booths on the ground. | ||
| But I mean, it's as simple as people just want to register voters. | ||
| I encourage everybody to register one voter, maybe 10 voters. | ||
| From now until Election Day, I think that it's very easy to find one person. | ||
| And you know, if you can't find one person to register, maybe everybody you know is registered, find that one person that does not vote. | ||
| Get them a mail-in ballot. | ||
| Drive them to the polls. | ||
| Whatever you're going to do to lock in that vote, because it's going to come down to such a wireless cycle. | ||
| I mean, we need to make it too big the rig. | ||
| That's my message. | ||
| Big time. | ||
| Noah, where can the posse follow you and support you in your efforts? | ||
|
unidentified
|
So you can follow me on twitter or x whatever they want to call it at n-f-o-r-m-i-c-a-g-o-p n-f-o-r-m-i-c-a-g-o-p Awesome, Noah. | |
| I'll let you get back to the rally. | ||
| Keep up the great work. | ||
| And next, I want to bring in Tyler Boyer, who is COO of Turning Point Action. | ||
| Tyler, give us the rundown. | ||
| We just saw what's going on there in Pennsylvania. | ||
| Very, very impressive. | ||
| But give us the rundown of how Turning Point Action has taken this on a national stage and particularly in the battleground states. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, Jane, you know, my home state, Arizona, just had a wonderful primary election yesterday where we had a lot of conservatives win because of the great work of our team like Noah, that's in Pennsylvania, who are registering thousands of voters. | |
| But more importantly, like Noah said, he's not just registering them, but then having eyes on them to chase them. | ||
| The left has been doing this so well in Arizona, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania, and Georgia. | ||
| And this is the first real election that we're putting literally hundreds and hundreds of full-time bodies and thousands and thousands of volunteers that are focused on the chase. | ||
| And I'm actually in Wisconsin right now. | ||
| I flew in the middle of the night to head to Wisconsin to train. | ||
| We have a class downstairs right now. | ||
| 30 full-time ballot chasers. | ||
| We're training on average around 30 to 40 full-time people in Arizona and Wisconsin each every week until the election. | ||
| We're having hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people who are now protecting their own neighborhood and then doing the work Like Noah's doing, which is focusing on organizing volunteers to do ballot chasing at the volunteer level to supplement the full time people. | ||
| And so we're really excited for that work. | ||
| It's working really well. | ||
| We've been back now with hundreds and we're excited for the results. | ||
| Now talk to me about you have two different hubs in Arizona and Wisconsin. | ||
| What in particular about those two battleground states made Turning Point Action decide to develop the hubs there? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, Jane, it's really simple statistics. | |
| So statistically, if you look at Arizona, Wisconsin, because of the electoral map, they're two of the most critical states statistically that Trump needs to win in order to win the presidency. | ||
| And so we've known that all along. | ||
| That's why we put so much emphasis and resources into Arizona and Wisconsin. | ||
| It turns out Arizona and Wisconsin are targeted by the left because there's so much opportunity here for both sides to chase votes. | ||
| Arizona has a historic early mail-in balloting system that's been there for a long time. | ||
| Wisconsin developed it during COVID, and so there is just a lot of opportunity in the Phoenix metro area, the Milwaukee, WOW area, and that's why we're there. | ||
| So how have things changed since the Democrat Party has inserted Kamala as a candidate? | ||
| How has Turning Point Action worked to counteract the amount of money, the amount of grassroots efforts that that campaign has now implemented? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, well, nothing's changed for us, because we know that the left knows that they can essentially elect anyone that they want. | |
| This is what I call the Fetterman Doctrine, is that they can elect a literal potato if | ||
| they want to in any state if they chase enough what we call a low-percentage of the population. | ||
| Tyler, I think we're having some technical difficulties. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Are we good? | |
| Okay, I'm sorry, continue. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Can you hear me okay? | |
| Yes, thank you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's okay, yeah. | |
| Like I was saying, they realize they can elect virtually anyone if they chase enough low propensity ballots. | ||
| So that's what we have to do. | ||
| So nothing changes, whether it's Kamala, it could be Joe, it could be literally anyone. | ||
| They could replace her with Gavin Newsom. | ||
| Nothing changes because everything is winnable if we chase enough ballots in these key targets that are razor-thin margins. | ||
| And we've been doing that work. | ||
| They are razor-thin margins, for sure. | ||
| So where can the posse get involved with Turning Point Action? | ||
| How do they get the resources? | ||
| How do they become the foot soldiers in this battle? | ||
|
unidentified
|
So we have full-time jobs available now in neighborhoods across Arizona, Wisconsin, now in Michigan and Nevada as well. | |
| You can go to tpaction.com slash careers. | ||
| And these are jobs, not just, you know, people associate turning point with young people. | ||
| These are all ages jobs. | ||
| So we need everybody to go to tpaction.com slash careers, and you can jump in and become a full-time paid ballot chaser in any one of those states. | ||
| But you can also go to tpaction.com slash chase and sign up. | ||
| To get involved and to follow along, we'll have volunteer events that we're actually already doing in many of these states and the primaries that occur and practice and run up to September and October when most of these states will be chasing ballots. | ||
| So it's tpaction.com slash chase to join our chase the vote initiative to volunteer and show up to one of our fun events where we have In some cases, we'll have hundreds of people show up and then we'll go out and chase ballots for one full precinct one day. | ||
| That's awesome. | ||
| Well, Tyler, thank you so much. | ||
| Keep up the fantastic work with Turning Point Action. | ||
| I want to bring in our next guest, Seagal Chadha of Nevada. | ||
| Seagal, we were speaking over the weekend and you shared some very alarming information with me about just how badly the Kamala campaign wants to win Nevada. | ||
| What is going on there with her grassroots effort? | ||
| She has opened how many new campaign offices? | ||
| Well, they opened up seven new campaign offices here in Nevada. | ||
| And, um, you know, listen, just because you open up campaign offices, it's to me, that's money out the door. | ||
| I think one of the greatest, uh, learning experiences that we had here from the 2022 and 2020 election season was that campaign offices, they're great. | ||
| They're just bases. | ||
| But at the end of the day, anything that you could do in a campaign offices, you could do mobily, especially in this day and age. | ||
| So I don't know that necessarily the opening of the campaign offices is an indication. | ||
| But what we do see is we do see this fervor of people signing up that didn't exist when Joe Biden was on the ticket. | ||
| So we are matching that. | ||
| And we've actually had a head start because nobody was excited when Joe Biden was running. | ||
| Nobody cared about Joe Biden running. | ||
| I'm glad that, you know, we had a head start. | ||
| And everybody, Trump brings the excitement. | ||
| We saw that all the way from January through the caucus. | ||
| So, that's where they're at. | ||
| What does our grassroots structure look like currently in the state? | ||
| What really is the pathway for President Trump to win this with grassroots support? | ||
| So one of the beautiful things that we have here at the Nevada GOP is we partnered up with Turning Point very early on in the game. | ||
| And Turning Point has been running an amazing operation here in Nevada as far as grassroots. | ||
| We've got the Camp Force 47, which has been mobilizing grassroots. | ||
| I mean, we are absolutely all hands on deck. | ||
| Um, before the Trump force 47 came out here, like I said, we had turning point help out with a caucus. | ||
| Um, they've been on the ground here since, uh, late December. | ||
| Uh, it was when everybody started working out here and, you know, and that's, it's just unbelievable. | ||
| The difference between the 2024 cycle and the 2022 and 2020 cycle. | ||
| I think that it took the Republicans a little bit of time to get with the program after mail-in ballots were universally passed here in Nevada. | ||
| But everybody is all hands on deck. | ||
| I mean, it's like nothing we've ever seen before here. | ||
| How do we get as many Republicans as possible out to the polls? | ||
| Because I know you were mentioning to me over the weekend that there is a number of Nevada Republicans who just aren't voting. | ||
| So how do we encourage our fellow Republicans to get out there? | ||
| You know, I think it's a combination of ballot chasing. | ||
| I think it's early voting. | ||
| I think many Republican voters had an issue with the early voting, the concept of early voting, the concept of mail-in ballots. | ||
| And this is why I'm saying that there is a huge difference because we've educated the voters that, you know, you could have a bad weather day like we had in 2020. | ||
| I'm sorry, in 2022, where you had a massive snowstorm up north and you had rain and winds here in the south in 2022. | ||
| So it's so important to educate the voters that it's okay to vote early. | ||
| It's okay to vote by mail. | ||
| So it was just that level of conditioning that it took for them. | ||
| To kind of get with the program. | ||
| Now keep in mind that Democrats have been harvesting ballots. | ||
| I mean, you had Culinary Union here doing this for over a decade, even though it was illegal, but they were doing it for over a decade. | ||
| And Republicans, it just took that level of educating them and conditioning them that it is okay to do that. | ||
| Sagal, where can the posse go to get involved and support the grassroots efforts in Nevada, and where can they follow you? | ||
| So, they should sign up with NevadaGOP.org. | ||
| It's N-A-V-A-D-A. | ||
| GOP.org and they could follow me at Chatter for Nevada. | ||
| I'm on Getter Twitter and obviously I'm going to make a little shameless plug for my friend Tyler and the folks at Turning Point Action because they really have been doing an amazing job and they've been an amazing partner to work with here in Nevada. | ||
| I know they're launching a massive scale effort here in the next few weeks. | ||
| Well, Seagal, thank you so much. | ||
| Keep up the great work. | ||
| And I appreciate you coming on and joining me today. | ||
| Mike Lindell, what do you got for us? | ||

| You're helping them as we're one of their biggest sponsors. | ||
| And then you're also helping yourself. | ||
| Get the best sleep in history. | ||
| Mike, you are heavily invested with grassroots organization. | ||
| Give us your assessment of what's going on right now in these critical battleground states and how can people get more involved? | ||
| Yeah, and, you know, I heard the previous guests there, you know, telling everyone, you know, you need to—our president's saying too big to rig it. | ||
| Everybody get out and vote. | ||
| Fine, absolutely get out and vote. | ||
| I will tell you this, that we're using—everything we've done for three and a half years has come down to this. | ||
| We're so proactive in everything we're doing to protect this election with the cards we're dealt. | ||
| Over 137 countries do not use electronic machines in their voting. | ||
| Over 100 counties don't use mail-in voting. | ||
| I mean, 100 countries don't use mail-in voting. | ||
| So, here in the U.S., we have the worst election platforms. | ||
| But we have a system. | ||
| What we're going to tell everybody to do, request your mail-in vote. | ||
| Get it off the dirty voter rolls. | ||
| And you get that. | ||
| Don't open it. | ||
| And then, when you go to vote, And if they say, you've already voted, you say, no, I have not. | ||
| At that point, it becomes identity theft. | ||
| And it's a different kind of data that we're going to have that we didn't have before. | ||
| And it happened all over the place in 2020 and 2022. | ||
| This is one of the most important things you can do right now. | ||
| And like I said earlier, let's say you wouldn't be able to vote on election day. | ||
| You have that mail-in ballot, and you've already got it secured. | ||
| So if something did come up, you can get that in and vote. | ||
| But I'll tell you, to save that for game day, and you get in there and they say you've already voted, It's over. | ||
| This is called identity theft. | ||
| Everybody can understand that. | ||
| And if you go, if you get the Frank social app, everybody, that's our election app where you can see every county in the country, what is going on in your own county, how many people went in and they said that they've already voted. | ||
| So it's like, I call it the real time crime app. | ||
| So We're very prepared. | ||
| We've got we've got proactive lawsuits going on in every every single place in the country to a lot of places, not every county. | ||
| But we've got this in the swing states where we're being proactive. | ||
| So we we know what they're going to try and do. | ||
| OK, we're prepared this time. | ||
| Whatever they throw at us, Mike, I'm confident that we are prepared. | ||
| This election will be too big to rig. | ||
| My name is Jane Zirkle. | ||
| Thank you all so much for tuning in to Battleground. | ||
| You can find me at Jane Zirkle on X. |
