Speaker Time Text
mika brzezinski
It's really bizarre, this story about Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is claiming to have dumped a dead bear cub, a baby bear, in Central Park years ago.
unidentified
Was he going to eat it?
joe scarborough
Skin it, eat it, or something like that?
And then he got rid of it?
Jonathan O'Meara, I'm so confused.
I'd heard that he was going to skin it, eat it, but just ran out of time.
I don't know these things.
unidentified
Why?
A bike attack?
joe scarborough
A biker ran over it and then the New York Times story was written by his...
Cousin?
Ten years?
It's all very weird, but you know what?
In times like these, when little things make sense at all, that's when you want the person right there, sort of as the leveling when, to be Roseanne.
And Roseanne was there going, what in the holy hell are you talking about?
unidentified
Today, President Biden set to meet with his national security team in the Situation Room to discuss developments in the Middle East.
Several countries, including the U.S., now advising citizens to leave Lebanon as fears of a broader regional conflict are growing.
Axios reporting, Secretary of State Antony Blinken told his counterparts from the G7 countries on Sunday that an attack by Iran and Hezbollah against Israel could start as early as Monday.
National Security Council spokesman John Kirby reiterating the U.S.' 's support for Israel.
Now I don't know what they're going to do or when they're going to do it, but we got to make darn sure that we're ready and that we have the capabilities in the region to be able to help Israel defend itself and quite frankly defend our own people, our own facilities, our own national security interests.
Plus the IDF says Israel's Iron Dome successfully intercepting several projectiles fired from southern Gaza just a short while ago.
Israel bracing for expected retaliation strikes from Iran over last week's killing of a top Hamas leader.
As the U.S.
deploys additional forces to the Middle East, the Pentagon, sending an aircraft carrier, warships,
and an extra squadron of fighter jets to the region in one of the largest deployments
since October 7th.
Now, the White House says the goal is to try to deter Iran from attacking.
But if that doesn't work, those forces will help Israel to defend itself.
was deeply involved in shooting down a wave of Iranian drones and missiles back in April, but an Israeli official tells NBC News this time they are bracing for worse, potentially a multi-day attack by both Iran and Hezbollah.
And remember, both have vowed revenge against Israel following the assassinations of Hamas's political chief in Iran and a senior Hezbollah commander in Lebanon last week.
Now, this morning, markets are way down all over the world.
That is mainly about concerns that the U.S.
economy may be slowing down, but it is not helped by fears of all-out war in the Middle East.
And this morning, the U.S.
and its G7 allies are appealing for calm, saying that these tensions could escalate a regional conflict.
Now, to the stock market.
Opening this morning after a rough finish last week, the Dow fell more than 600 points Friday on a weaker than expected jobs report.
Markets around the globe this morning are selling off.
Overnight, Japan's Nikkei plunged 12%, its worst day since the 1987 Black Monday crash.
Here, investors are responding to that Friday jobs market report on the jobs market, showing that employers added just 114,000 jobs in July, and that was well below the 185,000 forecast.
The unemployment rate jumped to 4.3%, which is still very low, but it shows joblessness has increased more than half a percent since January, and it's something that it just doesn't usually happen in a healthy economy.
A rise like that is historically a sign that a recession is imminent.
Bidenomics is working.
Last month, we created 187,000 new jobs.
kamala harris
In two and a half years, we have created more jobs, more new jobs, than any other administration has created in four.
unidentified
Today's numbers reflect the point that President Biden has made many times.
America's economy is This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
Pray for our enemies.
steve bannon
Because we're going medieval on these people.
I got a free shot on 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 lie?
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. Bound.
ben harnwell
Good morning.
Monday, 5th of August.
unidentified
Anno Domini.
2024.
ben harnwell
Hanwell here.
Not at the helm.
Your host today will be a familiar face from years gone by.
Jason Miller, welcome back into the studio.
We've also got Bill McGinley.
We've got a lot of breaking news today and you can see here, we'll break this down over the course of the next two hours.
Breaking news.
Markets are collapsing.
Unemployment is disappointing.
As this election now moves towards November 5th, you will see desperately the regime trying to change the subject and move attention away from the fact, for example, that the Nikkei index has had its sharpest fall since OK, so this is the background, the absolute appalling management of the economy under the present Biden regime.
What were they talking about?
Jason Miller, let's start with you.
What were they talking about, therefore, on Morning Meeker?
If this is not anything other than a shiny thing attempting It will fail to distract attention from the spiralling economy.
What were they talking about on Morning Meeker this morning?
Jason, Bill McGinley, good morning.
jason miller
Ben, good to be with you.
Good to be here back in the studio where it all started.
Here with Bill McGinley, another one of our guests.
And by the way, Bill, I feel like I was just writing War Room episode 3000 on my checks, but now we're at 3808.
So it's good to be back.
91 days and a wake up, as our fearless leader Steve Bannon would say here on the War Room.
But Ben, to set up your point, We have the world literally at the brink of World War III.
We have all-out chaos, all-out war ready to break out in the Middle East, all because of Joe Biden's incompetence.
We've seen what's happened when you have an emboldened Iran.
And with Israel taking out leaders from Hamas and Hezbollah, now Iran is, of course, threatening retaliation.
The U.S., you can see it right here in the Financial Times, telling people to get out of Lebanon.
Everyone's getting out of the region.
This, of course, we know that when the Middle East catches a cold, The rest of the world gets sick because of the concern about all-out war, about what's going to happen to energy prices, but at the same time we have these terribly weak economic numbers that came out Friday.
Kamala Harris and we used to say Bidenomics, but now we know that it's Kamala-nomics.
These numbers have set off a panic.
Japan down 12.5% on their market earlier today.
We see London is already down.
The Dow is down approximately 1,000 points.
NASDAQ is down some 600 or 700 points.
When I looked just a moment ago, all of this is happening at the same time.
So to your point, though, What we see the mainstream media doing is talking, goofing around about RFK Jr.
and stories about dead bears or bear parts.
I don't know, Bill, maybe you know more about these bear parts.
But they're talking about Kamala's VP.
Folks, we're at a massive crisis point, not just for the United States, but all around the world.
All out war, all out economic constriction, and people getting very concerned about what's going on.
Bill, what is your take when you see what's happening right now?
bill mcginley
I think about the working men and women who are looking at this and already plagued with economic uncertainty.
You know, these are the people who, you know, drive the trucks with the tools, their garage is full of tools, they are trying to get their kids through school to try and give them a better life.
And they see the chaos and uncertainty in the Middle East.
They see what China does in respect to Taiwan.
They see what's happening in Ukraine.
We don't have strong leadership on the international stage.
And now the economic contagion seems to be hitting our shores again.
And it seems to be we don't have any leadership out of the White House.
We don't have any leadership out of the Treasury Department or the Defense Department.
And I think everybody who is watching this, the families in particular, are very concerned about their future and what's going to happen.
And I think what it really reminds people is that the Biden-Harris failures are the same.
They've just changed the top of the ticket.
That all of these people who are living with the plague Uh, the economic failures, the international failures, the school failures, the crime failures with everything rising.
None of those circumstances have changed for the working men and women of this country.
And they begin to see a new face on there.
And I think that this distraction PSYOP that the Democrats in the mainstream media have been trying to do, I think collapses this week because all the realities come to the forefront of what's happening and the failures that have been caused by the Biden-Harris administration.
jason miller
That's a great point.
And we're going to get into the next block.
We're going to have Charlie Spearing from the Daily Mail joining us.
We're going to have Scott Besant, our economic genius, going into the second hour.
Some other great people that are coming up.
But Ben, back to you for a moment here.
When we talk about what's happening in Europe, what is Europe saying about the chaos that we're seeing in the United States right now?
We go from the stock market rising as people thinking that President Trump is going to be coming back to the White House.
And we're about two weeks removed from Kamala Harris with her soft political coup, so to speak.
I don't know what other words you could use it.
And now all of a sudden all the economic indicators are trending down.
People are freezing up.
We have chaos.
Our enemies are emboldened.
What are the Europeans saying when they look to the U.S.
and say, what the hell is going on?
ben harnwell
Well, they're obviously, Jason, looking askance at the disaster because they've invested a lot of their credibility, of course, into the continuation of the present Biden-Kamala Harris regime.
And they're going to be left with some explaining to do.
So obviously, as you point out, that when America coughs, Europe catches a cold, the
collapse in metrics, economic metrics coming out of the United States right now is causing
massive concern in London, in Frankfurt, in Germany, and around the European capitals.
But they're not just, by the way, looking at the present American implosion.
They're also looking at the implosion coming out from the UK right now.
I don't know if you guys have seen this story.
Elon Musk has warned that the UK is heading towards civil war.
This is up in the north of England to do with the consequences of uncontrolled immigration, the third world illegal invaders, as we call
them here on the war room.
It's setting off an absolute crisis, political crisis, within the opening weeks of the Labour
government.
So the European capitals are also looking at that.
They're looking at the United States.
And having basically rejoiced and led off the champagne when the Tories were kicked
out and Labour came in, having done similarly when Kamala Harris took over the leadership
of the Democratic Party, she's now formally the nominee.
Obviously, the European capitals, having invested so much into both of these political currents,
now they're going to find themselves particularly isolated, dramatically isolated, should Donald
Trump return in November.
unidentified
you That's a great point.
jason miller
Bill, one of the things I want to go back to, the Kamala crash.
What specifically has happened with this market?
What this means for Americans is parents are going out and buying school supplies for the kids, going back to school as people are looking at their 401ks, as more people are cashing out their 401ks just to get by every month.
How is this Kamala crash going to impact the next 91 days in advance of this election, but then even until we have a new president one way or the other on January 20th?
bill mcginley
Remember, we're in August, so a lot of families are trying to go on vacation before the kids go back to school.
Parents are sitting around the kitchen table after the kids go to sleep, and they're asking, OK, we really need to tighten our belts even more.
We've already given up what we can because of the inflation.
In order to keep the kids in after-school programs, get them the things that they need to get an education, and to keep the family afloat.
Now they're looking at the economic uncertainty, and I think that's really going to begin to concern a lot of families.
So the belt tightening is going to happen even more with the families.
I also think the small business owners are looking at this, who are the engine of economic growth in this country.
Most of the jobs that come out of in the United States come from small businesses.
So as these families begin to tighten their belt, it's going to have a ripple effect across the economy into the small businesses.
Because of inflation, they're already having trouble with credit to be able to expand the business if they're that fortunate.
But what they're really going to need to start doing is looking at their workforce and asking, do I need to cut back even more to try and save?
So I just think that this is basically bringing reality back to the forefront of the political discussion in America in terms of around the kitchen table with working families, but also with the small business owners who really are the people that we need to be growing right now.
jason miller
So, Ben, we have just over 30 seconds left.
I wanted, as Steve would always say, let's separate the signal from the noise here.
This is not about bare parts.
This is not about whatever numbskull that Kamala Harris is plugging in as VP.
This is ultimately now that the world is looking at Kamala Harris and saying, you are running the United States.
About 20 seconds left.
What happens in the next few days here as people are concerned about Iran and Israel?
ben harnwell
Well look, Israel has said that it is literally counting the minutes for Iran to attack.
This is after the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, head of Hamas.
We'll come and break this down a little more, Jason, after the break.
joe scarborough
Question on who's going to be the next president of the United States is whether she can perform almost as well as Joe Biden did among older working class white voters in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.
So that's a $64,000 question.
unidentified
Well, it is.
It's among the... I would broaden that $64,000 question out, Joe, to ask the question of whether she could perform as well as Joe Biden did in 2020 with young voters, African-American voters, and Latino voters, because although she has... There's undeniably... The momentum is with her right now.
She is performing better than Biden was.
Uh prior to his decision to bow out and actually better than he was throughout the whole the last couple years with all those groups.
Her number though is his number was way down from where his numbers were with those groups in 2020.
She has made up she's a over performing him in 2023-2024 but she's still not up to the levels that All right, let's go and dive back in.
jason miller
Back here in the War Room.
Good to be here in studio.
Bill McGinley also joined Ben Harnwell, our fearless European correspondent, and also want to bring in Charlie Spearing from the Daily Mail.
Charlie, as we saw this morning with Morning Joe and Mike, as they were talking through where the state of play is with some of the mainstream polling a month ago.
Joe Biden was cruising along, everything was fine, and then he runs into a debate champ named Donald Trump.
And all of a sudden it went from Democrats saying that they need to have some sort of mini-primary, need to have some sort of competition to see who that could be.
Of course, you know their fearless leader George Clooney wrote his op-ed, or at least some really high-paid PR person wrote the op-ed in the New York Times for him.
Now the media is trying to gaslight us and say everyone needs to rally behind Kamala Harris.
What is your take on what the media is doing right now and how they've gone from this 180 from we need somebody else to we better get behind Kamala Harris?
unidentified
Well, it's largely a reflection of the Democratic Party.
I mean, behind the scenes, nobody really believed that Kamala Harris was ready to run her own presidential campaign.
And that was a lot of that was a big part of why Biden was trying to stay in the race and a big part of why Democrats didn't push him out immediately.
If Kamala Harris had been ready and if people were confident, then they would have done it much sooner.
And so what Democrats were talking about behind the scenes is why do we have to anoint Kamala?
We need to have this mini primary.
She can't have this, this image of being, you know, appointed.
How about we do the primary?
That's famously, that's why Nancy Pelosi sort of held back and, you know, endorsing her outright, just like the Biden campaign and the Clintons did right away.
So that was definitely part of the discussions behind the scenes, but Democrats soon got on board with Kamala Harris and certainly former President Obama and his team did everything they could to rally support behind Kamala, even though there was a genuine fear about the look that she could be appointed without having to earn it.
jason miller
Yeah, no, and I think the recognition now by many people around the world that Joe's not in charge of the White House, and that Kamala's actually the one who's behind there pulling the levers, quite frankly, has scared a lot of people.
That's why we see the enemies making all the saber rattling and making the noise in the Middle East, and we see the markets being reflected here.
Where is the media going as far as who they want Kamala Harris to pick as VP?
I've really been shocked by this anti-Josh Shapiro outrage over the last few days.
It seems like he has knives coming at him from every direction.
And Kamala Harris really has a tough choice here.
Does she go and say this is for what potentially could be a smart political play to pick up Josh Shapiro as a possible VP nominee or running mate?
But then you also have her base, which is the squad.
I mean, Kamala Harris really is, when you look at where she's coming from, she has squad principles, extreme leftist positions.
What do you think that dilemma is that's going on with the Kamala Harris camp right now, Charlie, on which direction to go?
unidentified
Well, definitely, yeah.
The old guard Democrats view Shapiro as the obvious choice.
They think that he would be the best choice.
But there's still some people behind the scenes who kind of like Mark Kelly and his nice guy appeal.
It certainly brings issues like gun violence into the conversation and other topics.
You know, being from Arizona, that might help pull in voters from Arizona, from that state
that Kamala and the team now see that as much more winnable.
But right now it's really unlikely that they would actually go for a Minnesota governor,
Tim Walz.
His name is still on the list, but I don't see that offering her too many strengths as
she feels like Minnesota is already in the bag.
jason miller
So Bill, I want to go to you on this because in that polling that came out this weekend, we saw it from the Morning Joe and Mike segment earlier, is the fact that Kamala Harris is still running well behind where Joe Biden was four years ago.
At this point, four years ago, I know I was there, August wasn't the most fun during COVID and everything, but President Trump was behind by 10 points in August of 2020.
This is now, if the election is today, he wins.
You look at even what the lefties are saying, that Kamala Harris is still trailing well off where Joe Biden was in 2020 with black voters, with young voters.
Do you agree with Charlie that Tim Walz is dead from this equation politically?
Or where do you think Kamala Harris goes?
bill mcginley
Look, I think Walsh is still in the game because of Nancy Pelosi.
She favors former House members.
There's been a lot of reporting that she could be pushing him right now.
Every single candidate for VP that she's considering has baggage and drawbacks.
And what it really exposes is that the Democratic Party is not united.
It's not united behind Kamala.
They're just united behind the fact that it's not Joe Biden at the top of the ticket.
That's not the same as being enthusiastic for Kamala Harris.
And everybody that she's considering has flaws.
And the primary flaw is the failed policies that they keep pursuing.
And so I don't think it matters who she picks.
I think Donald Trump and JD Vance are still going to be able to press the case and when
people actually start after Labor Day really tuning into this election, they're
going to understand that it's an A-B choice and that Donald Trump and J.D. Vance
are going to be the ones to lead America forward.
jason miller
Ben Harnwell, back to you in Europe as our allies and folks around the world
are paying attention here.
Is anyone paying any attention to this VP race in the United States or people just looking at the Middle East beyond the brink of all-out war and this economic crash?
ben harnwell
Well, obviously, the news coming out in the Middle East and the increasing tensions between Iran and Israel are probably geopolitically more immediately important.
But obviously, what happens in the White House is in terms of long term strategic importance Definitely still on the agenda.
I think that the issue for the European capitals was more the situation that Charlie was saying just a moment or so ago.
They got Biden out and he was obviously going to lead the party over a cliff in November.
They got him out.
That's what I think the European capitals wanted.
They wanted to see someone at the top of that ticket who, as far as they're concerned, Would be a credible candidate, obviously, to open a bracket, open a parenthesis.
They also have a candidate behind which now it'd be much easier to steal an election, more credibly, easier to steal an election rather than Joe Biden.
I'm going to close the bracket there and move on.
But that is obviously another consideration.
What happens sort of in the Veep nomination, I think, is of less interest and more of a curiosity point.
I want, if I may, Jason, just to come back to what Charlie Spear was saying in his comments, because this is to do with the gaslighting of the media, because for the last few months we hardly heard at all how bad Joe Biden was doing in the polls, apart from the specific context that leading lights in the Democratic Party were very concerned about the head to head matchup.
They never really went on about the fact in the first instance that Trump was running five points ahead of Biden.
The latest polls I saw on Axios, I think this morning, basically put Donald Trump and Kamala Harris within a point of one another, well within the margin of error.
And of course, all the media is now saying, oh, look, this is Kamala Harris.
She's edging ahead now.
And the momentum is clearly with her.
I repeat, this is a margin of error instance here.
Yet to make this point again, when Trump for the last few months was five points ahead, they never told you this.
unidentified
Right.
ben harnwell
This is just an illustration, I think, of how the mainstream media is actively carrying water for the Democrats, especially in the run-up to November, but not only.
This is not news, obviously, to the warm audience.
They know how biased how brazenly unprofessional and biased the mainstream media
is on these things.
But it's a further illustration, yet another data point, I think, Jason, to say these are
the people, the primary source of information for the vast majority of the American public,
and they will do everything they can to stop you from knowing the truth behind the headlines.
jason miller
Yeah, genius point, Ben.
And I think that is very important that they're not actually going through and showing that if the election is today, President Trump is going to win.
But this is going to be a dogfight of a race.
We've already seen them swap out one candidate.
Who's to say that if we get another month or month and a half down the road that they don't swap out and do something else again?
We've already seen the censorship and that from big tech with regard to President Trump and just a couple days ago when you type in Donald Trump assassination and it wouldn't even come up as one of the what happened is one of the first things but you're exactly right that this is an all-out gaslighting effort this been going on. Charlie, with your reporting and
hearing today that President Biden, I'm assuming it's past 10 a.m., so he's probably awake now,
though I wouldn't say that's necessarily a given. He's going to be meeting in the Situation Room
with his deputy comms director, John Kirby. I'm not sure if they'll invite Cringe John Pierre to
join, but Cringe and Kirby and the rest of the folks will be in the Sit Room with Joe
Biden. What is it that you think that they're going to be telling him? What do you expect
this White House, whether it be Biden or Harris, to come out of this meeting talking
about the Middle East and the economy?
unidentified
What do you expect them to say to the country? Well, I've definitely heard that Kamala Harris
is expected to be in that meeting, so she will sort of tie herself to the foreign policy
efforts of Joe Biden.
So it'll be kind of a dual-headed presidency, right?
charlie spiering
You'll have Joe Biden and you'll have Kamala Harris there together trying to And trying to make the case to our allies that everything's going to be fine and that they're in control of the whole entire situation.
unidentified
But it's a really difficult.
It's finally, finally, we're going to see Kamala Harris kind of take some ownership of the Biden administration, where typically in these foreign policy situations, she kind of takes a backseat and lets Joe take the lead.
This will be the first time that she's actually in the driver's seat.
jason miller
Bill, that's a really good point because there's a positive to that for Kamala Harris.
There's also a big potential downside.
If Kamala Harris is out there as the co-presidency, then she owns the foreign policy.
She owns Kamala-nomics.
She owns the Kamala crash.
30 seconds left to go.
What's the potential pitfall for Kamala Harris here?
bill mcginley
This is going to be her first taste of actually being top of the ticket because she's going to have to own everything, as you said.
Typically, she's been standing in the background and hoping for the basically cocooned rollout that they've had both on social media and with the mainstream media.
And really what she's going to have to start doing is answering questions about all of these films.
unidentified
Here's your host, Stephen K Vance.
jason miller
And we are back.
We're hearing from the audience on Rumble and Ghetto.
Everyone else, they want more Bill McGinley.
So, of course, we've got to give you more Bill McGinley.
Jason Miller, good to be back joining the rest of my fellow guests today.
Bill McGinley, Ben Harnwell, Charlie Spearing.
I want to go back to make sure we're focused on the main thing.
Keep the main thing about the main thing, as Steve always says.
The Dow currently down 1,100 to open up.
This is following the 12.5% drop in the Japan market, the largest single-day drop that they've ever had.
Of course, Friday's disastrous economic numbers.
The Kamala crash and Kamala-nomics is very, very real.
Bill, I want to go back to this for a moment, exactly where we started with this whole Kamala crash.
You are looking all around because you're in addition to is an election lawyer and outside counsel with the RNC and you're looking at domestic politics.
How is this reverberating through the top Senate races and other top House races around the country?
Are people talking about focused on the the global chaos and this financial crash or are they all caught up in who's Kamala gonna pick as VP?
bill mcginley
Oh, they're worried about the kitchen table issues and the small business issues that we discussed before.
But, you know, today may be the day that Kamala announces her VP pick, and what mood music for the backdrop of this pick that her administration's failures On the international stage and economically are basically going to be the backdrop to what this pick is going to be, who this is going to be, and the rollout that they're going to try and do.
They're going to do everything they can to try and suppress all of the news that's happening today on the international stage and with economics.
And they're going to try and cocoon it and say, wow, what a great pick and a stabilizing force.
Don't believe it.
This is one of the things where the posse is best.
They need to tune out the noise and basically do their own research.
Look at the facts.
Go to the source.
Don't listen to the spin and make the decisions for yourself.
It's also critically important that everybody get out there and find 10 people, neighbors, friends, family, who want to save this country.
Make sure they're registered to vote.
Make sure they've got a plan to vote and make sure that they are going to turn out to vote.
Hold them accountable.
Make it a circle of accountability so that you guys make sure that we get the ballots into the pile so that November 5th, Donald Trump and J.D.
Vance can take over in January.
This is critically important.
Everything that we're talking about today is simply the backdrop for what we need to do when early voting starts in September in some of these battleground states leading up to November 5th.
So this is all basically a battle cry for the posse and we want to make sure that people understand that and that they take personal responsibility and do it.
jason miller
So on that note, Charlie, I want to go to you.
There's no one who's a bigger expert on Kamala Harris and her crazy leftist record.
We know that swapping out Joe Biden for Harris are going to have a lot of the same policies.
Kamala Harris is going to own everything from that administration, whether it be on the economy, whether it be on the border chaos.
Actually, I guess I haven't said borders are Kamala Harris once so far today.
Right now we have Paul Perez, president of the National Border Control Council, this
next hour.
But Charlie, you are the expert when it comes to Kamala Harris' record.
What should people expect to find out or learn more about Kamala Harris with this leftist
record, whether it be as AG of California or even as DA in San Francisco?
unidentified
Well it's important that ahead of her 2020 presidential campaign that failed, she moved
to the left of everybody on these issues.
No position was too radical.
She's a senator from California, so she was quite comfortable moving to the left, all
in the hopes of winning over this radical activist Democratic primary electorate in
the hopes that they would choose against candidates like Joe Biden and, you know, turn away from
the sort of the old guard, Bernie Sanders, and turn towards a much more, you know, a
much more attractive candidate to run in 2020 against President Trump.
So Kamala Harris, and I write a big chapter of my book, covers her entire liberal record,
where she stood on the important issues.
We've seen so many of these videos pop up.
And until Kamala Harris gets on camera denying these, she's going to continue to struggle
with what is her actual position on these issues, other than just campaign statements
to try to wipe away her entire record on this.
And...
jason miller
And Charlie, I want to make sure we're giving you the appropriate plug.
The book is Amateur Hour, Kamala Harris in the White House, which is great.
You can get it on Amazon or any of your different places or go to your local bookstore.
Great title, by the way, in the picture.
I don't know, Cam, if we're able to put up a picture of Charlie's book, but this is so classic.
Amateur Hour, Kamala Harris in the White House.
One of the things, Charlie, I want to kind of focus in on here is when we talk about how far left Kamala Harris went in 2019 and 2020, keep in mind that she literally was trying to raise money for this Minnesota Freedom Fund that ended up bailing out somebody who then went and killed, shot a man at a light rail station just a couple of weeks later, and this guy's now serving life behind bars.
What other items, whether it be with crime or decriminalizing illegal immigration, but particularly on the fiscal side of things?
We know that Kamala Harris wanted to go with basically the Green New Deal on steroids, not kind of the watered-down Joe Biden version that simply crashes an economy.
But she wanted to go with the AOC, what was it, $100 trillion to go into rebuilds.
Every building in the U.S.
had to be rebuilt within a decade.
What are some of the more crazy things that jumped out at you when you're doing your Kamala Harris research and coverage?
unidentified
Not only that, she teamed up with AOC to sort of promote this idea of launching a climate justice initiative where you completely revert the economy to focus on to address these things based on issues of race.
And so she definitely did that and a whole host of other things when she was We're sort of in the running to be a possible pick for Joe Biden's vice president.
She sort of embraced the entire defund the police movement and took radically different positions than she did in her early days when she was known as a law enforcement officer.
You know, when she was back in California, she endorsed the idea of putting more police officers in black communities.
But when it came to Black Lives Matter, she completely reverted her record on that, endorsed the defund the police efforts.
And then eventually was selected as sort of the representative of the Black Lives Matter movement as Joe Biden went into his own campaign with Kamala Harris as his running mate.
jason miller
So there's, Ben Harden, well, there's definitely a bit of a be careful of what you wish for.
As you started off the show saying that in the UK, many people are saying we've got to get the Tories out.
Now they have Keir Starmer.
Here in the US, you have a lot of the mainstream media saying we've got to get rid of Joe Biden.
Now they have Kamala Harris.
What does that mean?
Let's talk about the UK for a moment.
What will that mean as far as what policies we're already seeing go into place with Keir Starmer and that leftward lurch?
And what should people in the US then be concerned about with Kamala Harris now effectively running the country?
ben harnwell
Well, just to pick up on that theme and be careful.
What you wish for, Jason.
I want to come back to something that Charlie said earlier on in the show.
I think the importance for the Democratic leadership was removing Joe Biden.
As was discussed earlier, the Obamas were late to endorse her because they didn't want her.
Nancy Pelosi was late to endorse her because she didn't want her.
They wanted Biden out because he was going to lead the Democrats off a cliff.
Be careful what you wish for.
I think in the last open primary in 2020 for the Democrats, Kamala Harris got 1%, less than 1%.
She's not the person that those at the top of the party with intelligence really wanted in a head-to-head versus Donald Trump.
So that, I think, underlines your point now.
Be careful what you wish for.
Coming to the UK, right?
There are protests taking place right now in the north of England, and I said that Elon Musk had warned of the threat of a civil war.
Protests, it's not just America that has a change of government, change of system based on protests.
A few hours ago in Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina, after 15 years of running that country, a very male-dominated country by the way, She fled the capital, taken by the army to a shelter, and she resigned after 15 years because of protests, student-led protests that developed out of hand.
This is where I think governments are, and they're looking at the lack of the unrest amongst the people, and they're getting incredibly touchy.
And as we open the show with the call-out, the roll-out of the deteriorating economic metrics, that unrest is only going to grow.
So looking specifically to the UK, not much really.
If you want to know the truth, not much is really going to change with the difference
of government in the UK because we didn't really have a conservative government.
We had a fake pretense of a conservative government in power on the back of still, you know, after
40 years on the back of the reputation of Margaret Thatcher.
That's pretty much the same.
You know, you wanted the parallel drawing with the United States.
That's the same.
The GOP is still, you know, it might be Donald Trump who really is in control of the GOP right now, but it's still at least in terms of of words, in terms of lip service, it's still like the
resistance within the GOP still tries to draw inspiration from Ronald Reagan, even if every
single day it betrays Ronald Reagan's legacy.
So I think that the parallel is, for the centre-right political established parties, betray your
base at your peril.
Because what happened in the Tory party in the UK, with total white power, that could easily happen, I think, in the American context.
That won't help Donald Trump.
Donald Trump really needs the House of Representatives, and absolutely he needs the Senate to effect, I think, a substantial reform that he wants to do.
jason miller
But I think people are getting And we're going to have Kerry Lake joining in this next hour to talk about one of those battleground states and at the border in particular.
Bill, democracy dies in darkness.
We know that from the media.
What happened to democracy of being the top issue for the Democrats now?
And now everything is about Kamala Harris is the future and kind of the don't look here, look at this shining object.
Why doesn't Kamala Harris talk about democracy anymore?
Whatever happened to that?
bill mcginley
Because it was the most undemocratic process to choose her that we've seen in a long, long time.
I mean, they basically tossed like around 15 million Democratic primary votes into the can, basically so that the elites, the Democratic oligarchs, the Democratic power players behind the scenes, in a closed door, smoke-filled room, could choose her as the next nominee.
Look at what happened.
They barely had a virtual nominating contest.
to declare her the nominee.
For their VP, basically, the convention chair, after she makes her choice, is just going to come out and declare that man the VP nominee by fiat.
I mean, this is the most undemocratic selection process we've seen in a long time.
And I think it just exposes the truth that the posse already knew.
This isn't about democracy for them.
That was a talking point.
This is really about power.
And they are going to scratch, fight, and claw to maintain power.
And we, as the posse, we, as the Republican Party, need to be prepared to stand up to that, because they're not going to let go of it very easy.
This is going to be a long, tough fight.
At the ballot box, politically, every news cycle, every day, we just have to wake up in the morning to try and win politically, both in terms of comms, contacts, and election integrity.
We need to make sure that we can prevail on November 5th.
And so everybody has to put in some sweat equity to make this happen.
The posse is an integral part of this and they are full-fledged members of the team and we need your help.
jason miller
Alright, so about a minute before we go to break here, I want to put you on the spot.
Bill, who is Kamala gonna pick and will it move the needle at all on this election?
bill mcginley
She's gonna pick Shapiro because they're gonna take the calculus.
They think it's gonna deliver Pennsylvania for him.
But as many reporters are beginning to show, he's got a lot of stuff in the closet that
needs to be fully examined.
As you know, the spotlight for a statewide office is not the same as the national spotlight.
And I think a lot of the issues that he has are gonna be brought to the forefront.
I don't think it's gonna be Waltz because he's not exciting enough.
And I think Mark Kelly has become disqualified with some of the things coming out like the
jason miller
the balloon company. Charlie, real quick, who's your pick on Kamala's, who you think
unidentified
she's going to go with? Well, I've been leaning Shapiro for quite some time, but the danger
with that is that he perhaps outshines Kamala Harris as a leader, and they can't have that.
So I can see Kamala's team picking nice guy Mark Kelly as a suitable person who won't
outshine her on the top of the ticket. Okay, it's getting ready to go to the break.
jason miller
I do want to get your opinion when we come back, Ben.
I think the answer, she's going to pick Crooked Hillary, not just joking.
unidentified
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bamm.
jason miller
All right, and we are back.
Been joined much of this first hour by Charlie Spearing from the Daily Mail.
Charlie, before we let you go, want to make sure that we have your, want to make sure people know how to follow you, how to follow your writing, how to pick up a copy of your book on Kamala Harris, and also how to track you on social media.
unidentified
Thanks so much, Jason.
Yeah, at Charlie Spearing on Truth Social and on X and on Instagram and the book Kamala Harris Amateur Hour, Kamala Harris in the White House.
It's available wherever books are sold.
Do pick up a copy.
It's great reading, a light read, a good read ahead of the presidential election.
jason miller
All right, well, Charlie, thank you once again.
You're one of my favorite reporters out there.
Good to have you in the War Room.
I know the posse appreciates it very much.
Let's go and bring in Peter McIlvenna, of course, the host of Hearts of Oak podcast in the UK, which if you're, I'm sure if you're watching War Room, you know Peter McIlvenna.
He's been on quite a bit.
A good friend of mine, and I described his podcast as basically being Downton Abbey meets Mad Max.
Is that a good enough description, Peter?
peter mcilvenna
I'll take that, Jason. 100%.
jason miller
I want to dive right in.
We talked about this a little bit in the opening with Ben Harnwell, who's still with us, but the talk about Elon Musk's comments about Civil War, what we're seeing with the unrest in the UK following the election, what is the real story here and what should people here in the United States or even listening to the show, watching it all around the world, be taking away from these comments?
peter mcilvenna
Well, for the last six days, we've seen riots all across the UK, town cities across the UK, and they began in Stockport last Tuesday.
And that was a day after three girls got stabbed to death.
And the anger That is spilled on from that and Stockport is in Merseyside, which is in Liverpool.
Sorry, just to focus it in for a US audience.
So up in Liverpool, up in the north east of England by Manchester, and we are seeing massive anger and the violence have been described by Prime Minister Keir Stammer as far-right thuggery.
And we have seen demonstrations in London, in Rotherham, Middlesbrough, Liverpool, Bolton, Northern Ireland, amongst many other places.
And this is all to do with frustration at this stabbing of three girls.
Three girls, their names, Alice Igerler, and she was nine, and Beba King, she was six.
Six.
And I'll see Stan come.
She was seven.
And they were stabbed with a kitchen knife last Monday.
And they were at a class in Liverpool, at a dance class.
And they were stabbed to death.
And you've got eight other children were stabbed.
There were five of them in a critical condition.
Two adults also critically hurt.
And this anger from last Monday, and the anger kind of fits in and stems from mass immigration.
Now, where the individual was not a immigrant coming in the UK, he was actually his parents from Rwanda.
And Rwanda is a 55-60% Christian country.
But it's a frustration on people coming into the UK and not necessarily fitting in.
And this boy of 17, Axel, going on and stabbing three girls, killing them, severely injuring many others.
At a school, Tyler Swift event that was happening at a school concert, and the anger of the, I guess, the English population that actually mass immigration and what it's bringing in to the values on the UK, that's not acceptable.
We'd have a conversation.
While I would never condone the mass violence and have not been a part of that, I understand the rising frustration with threats to mass immigration, a conversation not being had of where these people go and how they fit into the UK.
And just as you've seen over the southern border in the US, people coming over not sharing US values.
We are seeing in the UK people coming to the UK and not sharing UK values of tolerance, of consideration, and of course UK being based on a Christian Judeo principle in our legal system.
In our political system, in our society, and many people come in who do not share those values.
And that's where the frustration is happening all across the UK.
And this morning has been no end of developments in this story.
jason miller
So, Peter, have there been arrests made with these, or are they still trying to figure out who did it?
Because I'm looking at the Times of London, and they literally say that this is either far-right activists or bored teens.
And it seems to me that there's a big disconnect there with them trying to say that these are people on the far right, or just kids who didn't get enough Xbox today, and summers that have nothing to do during the summer.
This is horrific.
I mean, we see this every single day here in the United States with these Biden migrant crimes, or, well, Kamala Harris being the borders are Kamala Harris migrant crimes.
But have there been arrests?
Is there a national outcry in the UK to stop this?
I mean, this is just horrific.
peter mcilvenna
So there are all parts to a response to that question.
The last time we saw massive race riots was 2011-2012 in our big riots and of course back in the BLM riots in 2020 in May and June we saw three and a half weeks of riots.
Today the Prime Minister announced that courts were going to work 24 hours a day.
Now our courts have been completely decimated and destroyed by the COVID tyranny that we have faced.
And I know I'm involved in a legal case of a grooming gang survivor, Elizabeth.
And we are having to wait three, four, five months for courts to rule on that.
But yet, Keir Stammer, the new Prime Minister of the UK on the far left, can decide that courts will sit 24 hours a day to be against right-wing extremism.
But yet, they could not sit 24 hours a day to be against the grooming gang violence that was first exposed in the Times newspaper in 2012.
by Andrew Norfolk, the excellent journalist who's highlighted that.
So we are seeing a discrepancy in the UK that the courts are told they must work 24 hours
a day for one level of frustration, but they cannot work on the other side.
And that's where the confusion and frustration lies.
jason miller
Peter, I've got to jump in real quick.
I want to, Peter, I want to keep you over to the next block, but I do got to make sure
before the hour is up that I give the read for our sponsor here at War Room, Birch Gold.
Petrodollar is crumbling before our eyes.
Saudi Arabia just declined to renew their 50-year petrodollar agreement.
What this means is for the U.S., dollar's global dominance is now riding on fumes.
How much longer until the dollar crashes, we don't know.
The economic conditions we're seeing, not great.
