War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Babb. | |
| Good morning. | ||
| Welcome to the War Room. | ||
| Dave Brat sitting in with a great Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Out of respect and honor for Stephen K. Bannon, we open every show in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. | ||
| Amen. | ||
| We got a great show for you all today, packed wall-to-wall. | ||
| Make sure, please, share this platform with everybody, everybody you know. | ||
| Shoot a link to your friends, RAV. | ||
| They're doing great work for you, Real America's Voice. | ||
| I think we're going to J.D. | ||
| Vance right now. | ||
| Refreshing. | ||
| I looked at the Waltz stuff. | ||
| Steve gets back and you all heard Peter Navarro the other day give us some great news that | ||
| there's some law that may let Steve out early and so that would be an answer to all of our | ||
| prayers. | ||
| I think we're going to JD Vance right now, a refreshing, I looked at the Waltz stuff, | ||
| I served in Congress with Waltz and I've looked into the policies that Minnesota has put | ||
| into place. | ||
| I used to live there. | ||
| We have Michelle Bachman coming up later on the show. | ||
| And just a stunning contrast in vice presidential candidates, right? | ||
| They're trying to make, along with the help of the mainstream media, which is, you know, It's stunning, right? | ||
| Biden was fine and then he's not fine and then they work to get rid of him, right? | ||
| The guy that said is great and is the best, you know, acute mind there is. | ||
| And so, you know, you just can't believe you're lying nice. | ||
| But Minnesota, I don't want to get too much in front of Michelle Bachman, Congressman Bachman, but they put in place policies, you know, at the same time they say they're Lutheran, they say they're putting in policies. | ||
| that take your kid from you into public school system and turn them into another | ||
| gender without letting you parents know. Right, we went through that in Virginia | ||
| and the moms rightly were highly energized. | ||
| Elected Youngkin. | ||
| We have Tiffany Justice on the show on that issue coming up. | ||
| And I'm looking at the stage with JD. | ||
| I don't know if you all can see it there, too. | ||
| I think you can. | ||
| But I'm kind of waiting for him to come on up. | ||
| And by contrast, right, they're trying to put waltz in the hunting uniform and making them look Midwest whatever. | ||
| He was there when Minneapolis blew up in flames. | ||
| And I encourage you all, go do your research, right? | ||
| Don't believe the talking heads. | ||
| Go do your own research. | ||
| And on our side of the football, all political views are my own, but we have J.D. | ||
| Vance, who grew up with nothing. | ||
| He knows what it's like to come from nothing. | ||
| He advanced through college and then top law schools in the country. | ||
| I think he was head of the The Yale Law Review, the pinnacle of Yale even, then does well in business. | ||
| He must be over the target, right? | ||
| Because when the left says, when the left goes after him with all the vitriol they can, I mean, I think they know the problem. | ||
| And that could be the Waltz reaction as well, trying to put up, you know, they're trying to frame it as they're the normal ones. | ||
| Well, you know, that might last for a week with a medium monopoly. | ||
| But it won't be sustained, right? | ||
| The American people have seen too many bizarre things in the last weeks. | ||
| Denver, let me know what's going on, but I think we're going to pan over to the J.D. | ||
| Vance speech, and then we'll come back to the War Room with a star-studded lineup, so hang tight with us. | ||
| And let's flip it over to the J.D. | ||
| Vance coverage with RAV. | ||
| I think we'll just wait for JD to get right up there. | ||
| Yesterday, I did an economic overview. | ||
| Navarro will be back on. | ||
| We got EJ and Tony coming up on the market crash. | ||
| a couple of days ago. | ||
| And so, you know, that's stunning. | ||
| The causal piece was probably Japan. | ||
| E.J. and Tony and I will get into all that. | ||
| But the more stunning part is that, you know, this carry trade, this technical piece of | ||
| the rich, the super rich, right, the top 10 percent of the rich own 90 percent of the | ||
| stocks and bonds. | ||
| But our Federal Reserve and our federal government run the economy on that basis for the elites. | ||
| They're not setting up an economy that's good for jobs, for American jobs. | ||
| They're setting up an economy which is leveraged to the hilt, where just teeny tiny little changes in a carry trade interest rate in Japan by 0.25% sent the entire world into free fall. | ||
| That's how strong our economy and our markets are. | ||
| They're not strong. | ||
| And the resilience, once something cracks, it is widely agreed, right, just so you know the subtext here. | ||
| Everyone agrees there's another super bubble constructed by the Federal Reserve printing the $9 trillion to accommodate, right, the Federal Reserve accommodates the $2 trillion deficits And the $7 trillion government budgets that Congress put together and that the Republicans signed off on, the woken, weaponized $7 trillion budget they signed off on. | ||
| So the Federal Reserve has validated all that by printing enough money to make all of that happen instead of not doing that and disciplining our government. | ||
| That's what they would do if they were for the American people. | ||
| And I think, sorry to break up the economic dialogue, but we got J.D. | ||
| Vance coming to the stage. | ||
| And so let's flip over there. | ||
| Denver, thank you very much. | ||
| Their kindness, but most of all I appreciate what they do every single day to support this | ||
| community and really they've opened my eyes. | ||
| We got a briefing backstage and they've really opened my eyes about what's going on even | ||
| in communities like Shelby Township and it's why it's so important for President Trump | ||
| and I to back the blue and make it possible for our law enforcement officers to do their | ||
| job rather than Kamala Harris who wants to make it harder for them to do their job, who | ||
| wants to defund them and wants to make it more difficult for them to keep us safe. | ||
| We've got to throw Kamala Harris out of office, not give her a promotion and that's what our | ||
| law enforcement needs. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Woo! | |
| Now, I want to give a few shout-outs here before I talk about what I learned today. | ||
| First, we've got the great Congressman John James. | ||
| John's back there. | ||
| We all love John. | ||
| He's a good guy. | ||
| Great friend of law enforcement. | ||
| We've got Chairman Pete Hoekstra here. | ||
| I didn't see Pete earlier, but I know Chairman Pete. | ||
| There's Chairman Pete. | ||
| Thank you for being here, Pete. | ||
| And then we've got another great congressman, or former congressman, but we'll make an even better United States Senator, Mike Rogers is here. | ||
| And Mike is another great ally of law enforcement. | ||
| Mike, thank you for being here. | ||
| Look, what I realized in talking to some of these police officers, and this is especially to the folks who are watching on TV, is the failure to protect our communities is a policy choice. | ||
| It is a policy choice to defund the police, which is what Kamala Harris wants to do. | ||
| It is a policy choice to open up the American southern border and allow migrant criminals to come into this community and make it less safe. | ||
| It is a policy choice to not deport people, to suspend deportations, which is what Kamala Harris did. | ||
| And I heard just earlier about a criminal who was deported from this community, who came back in and then raped an 11-year-old girl. | ||
| Just in the past couple of months. | ||
| I'm the father of a two-year-old girl. | ||
| I cannot imagine having a government that cares so little about you that they're letting people who come into our communities get deported and come back in and then they rape our children. | ||
| That is a policy choice of Kamala Harris to suspend deportations and let somebody like that into our community. | ||
| It is a policy choice to not prosecute people who sexually assault minors. | ||
| When Kamala Harris was the Attorney General of California, she actually made it a non-violent crime to commit sex crimes with minors. | ||
| Shouldn't we want to throw people who commit the most heinous crimes in our communities in prison and throw away the key? | ||
| And yet Kamala Harris is making it easier for people to get out of jail after they commit heinous crimes with children? | ||
| It's despicable, but it's another policy choice of Kamala Harris. | ||
| And I guess my message to the American people, and certainly to all of you gathered here today, is we don't have to accept this from the federal government of the United States of America. | ||
| Remember, when President Trump was in office, we deported illegal aliens. | ||
| When President Trump was in office, we were building the border wall which made it harder for illegal aliens to come here in the first place. | ||
| When President Trump was president, we did not grant mass amnesty which allowed illegal aliens to come into our communities to harm our people and then to stay here after the fact. | ||
| We just need better leadership. | ||
| It is so simple and I can't believe that anyone would actually think That you should open up the American southern border to all of these criminals, you should let them commit crimes in our communities, and then you should refuse to deport them afterwards, and that's exactly what Kamala Harris has done. | ||
| You know, I grew up in a community. | ||
| I grew up in a place where when law enforcement wasn't able to do their job, it was the poor kids in my community, the kids who grew up like I did, who suffer the most. | ||
| Because, of course, if you're wealthy, you can afford a gated community. | ||
| If you're wealthy, you can afford private security. | ||
| But when the police are not empowered to do their job, it is the most vulnerable people in our communities who suffer. | ||
| We saw that, of course, in 2020 with the summer riots with our new vice presidential nominee on the Democratic side. | ||
| Makes an interesting dynamic duo with Kamala Harris because as he was promoting rioters and looters burning down the city of Minneapolis, Kamala Harris was helping to bail the rioters and looters out of jail. | ||
| A really vicious cycle if you're living in that community, a really vicious cycle if you own one of those businesses that was burned down, and of course a very vicious cycle if you're one of the poor kids who needs law and order, who needs common sense safety, but doesn't have access to it because our government So often refuses to do its job. | ||
| I want to do a couple of shout-outs here, and I encourage these folks, if they're willing, to make a couple of remarks, and then I'll close this out and take some questions from the media. | ||
| But I got to meet Jim Tiganelli. | ||
| Sorry, Jim. | ||
| I hope I pronounced that right. | ||
| Jim is the leader of one of the most important associations of law enforcement officers here in the state of Michigan. | ||
| He told me about, just in a 30-day period recently, they lost three police officers. | ||
| three police officers who lost their lives in the line of duty because Kamala Harris | ||
| has sent out this message that it's open season on American police officers. | ||
| And that filters down to the criminals who hear it, who know they're not going to suffer | ||
| consequences for committing violent crime, and then do exactly that. And Jim's police | ||
| officers lost their lives because of it. So I'd love to have Jim come up here and | ||
| just say a few words, if you're willing. | ||
|

|
Thank you, Senator. | |
| As the indicator, we represent about 12,000 law enforcement personnel across both peninsulas, so I feel like we're in a position to speak for a majority of those who work that job. | ||
| The common thread in the room today was the regard for public safety. | ||
| Although the Democrat candidate for president has not said as much, it's quite common for all candidates to claim an allegiance to law enforcement and public safety at election time. | ||
| The truth is, it's what you say and do between elections that matter to us. | ||
| And we've had an opportunity to see what President Trump did as president. | ||
| We've had an opportunity to see his choice here in J.D. | ||
| Vance. | ||
| And we know that that's a binary choice. | ||
| The other choice is not an option to us. | ||
| The open borders that began in January of 21 changed the number of illegal aliens from entering the country from 300,000 a year to 300,000 a month at the beginning of 2023. | ||
| a year to $300,000 a month at the beginning of 2023. | ||
| Three million a year. | ||
| The Trump administration had taken steps to limit those illegal entries by none less than | ||
| 500 miles of wall, which the Biden and Harris administration knocked down portions of and | ||
| left all the materials laying on the road to rot. | ||
| And then went so far as to sue the state of Texas for trying to build a barrier to guard | ||
| their own border. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| The best efforts of Michigan's best in law enforcement are failing. | ||
| As he indicated, we've had three officers shot this year, and they were not in gunfights. | ||
| This wasn't an armed robbery, a barricaded gunman. | ||
| These were traffic stops. | ||
| These were guys that were not even unholstering their guns when they were murdered. | ||
| These weren't deaths. | ||
| These were murders. | ||
| Beautiful and prosperous Shelby Township has also been touched by illegal aliens this year, and you've heard some of those examples. | ||
| When people are allowed to enter the country illegally, without consequence, and maybe even being rewarded for it, it leads some citizens who are here illegally to think that that type of behavior is okay. | ||
| Nobody surrenders anymore. | ||
| These cases that we're running into, these aren't all illegals, but they're learning from the illegals. | ||
| No one surrenders. | ||
| 70,000 police officers were assaulted last year. | ||
| Physically assaulted. | ||
| 360 were shot but not killed, and more than 60 were shot to death. | ||
| Just in last year. | ||
| That's not right. | ||
| Okay, there should be no excuse for that. | ||
| And eligible candidates for this job are getting more and more difficult to find. | ||
| We have a great candidate for president and we know that because he served as president for four years. | ||
| We were more prosperous and we were safer when he was here. | ||
| He has chosen J.D. | ||
| Vance as his candidate for vice president and every day we hear more things to convince us how much better it will be with J.D. | ||
| Vance in the chair with President Trump. | ||
| So the Police Officers Association of Michigan are here today to tell you that our members of 75 different counties wholeheartedly endorsed the Trump Vance ticket and we are | ||
| proud to do so and we need you to win. | ||
| Great. | ||
| But I want to also hear a little bit from Peter Lucido. | ||
| Peter, yeah, please say a few words. | ||
| Thanks, Peter. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| Thank you, Senator. | ||
| And good morning, everyone. | ||
| We came together here for a reason because it's undisputed that law enforcement's prime mission is to maintain safety and protect the welfare of the citizens as one of the most important government responsibilities. | ||
| Without protecting the citizens, it's a failure in government. | ||
| It's a failure to us. | ||
| Macomb County residents and businesses must rely on law enforcement to keep them safe and free from harm by others. | ||
| As the Macomb County Prosecutor, I am committed to bringing wrongdoers to justice. | ||
| All accused of a crime are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. | ||
| Whether documented or undocumented, a person faces the same justice under the law. | ||
| In Macomb County, we follow the law. | ||
| That means we honor the U.S. | ||
| Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency with notice of an arrest of an undocumented person or persons. | ||
| We are proud to work with our state and federal law partners as it relates to keeping the law and keeping the order. | ||
| We need to be clear that bad actions by the undocumented should not have a chilling effect on those who came here legally, like our ancestors. | ||
| However, the problem today is that law enforcement is challenging enough without adding immigration issues into the equation. | ||
| That should never have happened here. | ||
| This onslaught of undocumented crimes has brought a drastic impact on our law enforcement partners. | ||
| The cost of illegals entering this country who have broke our laws has put law-abiding citizens at risk. | ||
| Honest, hard-working, and good-spirited Americans have long provided legal immigrants with food, shelter, and medical care, etc. | ||
| But the unlawful, undocumented cost of law enforcement and incarceration is truly something Back in the war room, Dave Brad sitting in for Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| You heard the setup, and sure enough, JD Vance comes through saying what we in the war room have been saying. | ||
| I grew up in Michigan and Minnesota, and there was none of this when I grew up. | ||
| The world is just out of control. | ||
| Some of the things you're seeing, by the way, are not Marxist. | ||
| They're neo-Marxist, and it's worth pointing that out, right? | ||
| No Marxist country, the Russians, the Chinese, have ever done anything like this to their children, right? | ||
| So they have Marxist economies and Marxist philosophies and ideologies, but they have not done anything like Minnesota has done in their public policy to their children, and Michigan as they're going through the accounting there. | ||
| It's just horrifying. | ||
| This has been put into American higher education. | ||
| The neo-Marxists are on the march. | ||
| They're trying to destroy this country, right? | ||
| And I've referred people to this book by R. R. Reno called Return of the Strong Gods. | ||
| They are trying to destroy the things we love. | ||
| The love for God, the love for our nation, and the love for our families. | ||
| And so we have a guest who's particularly well-equipped and fighting on her own. | ||
| Tiffany Justice, are you with us? | ||
| I want to go to you to hear you react to J.D. | ||
| Vance and this list of horribles coming out of Minnesota and Michigan. | ||
| It's stunning. | ||
| Welcome to the War Room, Tiffany. | ||
| Thanks for being with us. | ||
| Well, thank you very much. | ||
| And Dave, I'm so excited to be on with you. | ||
| I've never been on with you before, and I miss Steve terribly, but it's good to see you. | ||
| First of all, in China, the children have been indoctrinated. | ||
| We saw the building of the Red Guard in China. | ||
| That certainly is what we're seeing in America today. | ||
| Our public school system, using our taxpayer dollars, are indoctrinating our children in our schools. | ||
| They're teaching kids that America is a broken, bad country, and they're teaching kids to hate each other. | ||
| And there is no future. | ||
| In that, as far as the transgender stuff, the gender ideology stuff that you're seeing, Dave, we're seeing a tidal wave of evidence from Europe showing that gender-affirming care, this idea of puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, medical transitions, sex changes for kids, is not what's best for kids. | ||
| Now, I think a lot of us with common sense knew that. | ||
| Stopping the healthy development of children isn't a good idea. | ||
| But in Minnesota, that's exactly what Tim Walz has done. | ||
| I have stated before, I will state again. | ||
| Tim Walz was the most radical, anti-parent candidate that Kamala Harris could have chosen as a running mate. | ||
| It is absolutely wild to me. | ||
| Yeah, and just to be clear, you know, Stephen K. Bannon loves the receipts and the evidence on that. | ||
| So, in Minnesota, I think they had the House and the Senate and the Governor, Waltz, and they shoved through this entire leftist agenda, right? | ||
| You have a couple receipts you can point to. | ||
| I think I read, and I just want to be, you know, clear and accurate, but parents have lost the right to information concerning kids who are going through sex changes. | ||
| Is that true? | ||
| Yes, that is true. | ||
| And in fact, if your child moves to Minnesota, you lose your parental rights. | ||
| You have no ability to give any consent, to have any knowledge about gender transition. | ||
| If there's a minor child that wants to go through that in Minnesota, parents will not have any type of information shared with them about gender transition. | ||
| It's more than that, though. | ||
| Listen, Tim Walz shut down Minnesota during COVID. | ||
| That snitch line, Dave, cuts right to the heart of parents' concerns of neighbors calling a snitch line and telling on each other. | ||
| We watched as schools were closed, as kids were masked all over the country. | ||
| But Tim Walz has taken over a quarter of a million dollars from teachers unions in Minnesota for his election. | ||
| He's taken money from the National Teachers Union. | ||
| And Randy Weingarten was on TV yesterday, so excited about Tim Walz. | ||
| She's just giddy, so excited about having Tim Walz, because he's in their pocket. | ||
| And teachers' union bosses lead to learning losses. | ||
| So there have been three different transgender bills that Governor Walz has signed into law that have horribly hurt children and parental rights. | ||
| And apparently, the Constitution doesn't exist in Minnesota. | ||
| Yeah, well, thank goodness we have you. | ||
| You're one of the best messengers I've heard on the whole range of issues. | ||
| The New York Times, by the way, today said the reason for Waltz was in quotes, he's a team player and he'll do whatever the team wants. | ||
| So this is very scary to me, right? | ||
| I grew up in Minnesota and I have the Scandinavian bloodlines in me. | ||
| They got a bunch of Lutherans and they're Swedes and Finns up there. | ||
| I went to seminary. | ||
| I studied old Johnny Calvin and Luther. | ||
| I never saw any of this trans stuff in Lutheranism. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| And so we have the Christian church is standing silently by. | ||
| And then, you know, we had Governor Youngkin in Virginia ran on this stuff. | ||
| And where are all the other sane governors yelling from the rooftops? | ||
| Where is the Congress? | ||
| Where is the Senate? | ||
| Women are being raped. | ||
| Kids are being their sexuality is being changed by surgery. | ||
| There's heinous sex crimes going on here. | ||
| Parents are not being allowed to monitor them. | ||
| Where is the leadership in this country other than Tiffany Justice? | ||
| Well, I think there are a lot of amazing leaders, and Moms4Liberty is raising up leaders everywhere. | ||
| That's what we do. | ||
| It's really creating the capacity for leadership for people in their own communities. | ||
| One of the most startling things that Tim Walz said to me recently, Dave, or said, excuse me, that I heard him say was that 30-foot ladder comment, that how tall would the wall that Donald Trump was going to build be, and that he was going to build a ladder that was five feet taller. | ||
| I travel all the time. | ||
| You know that I like to go out and try to take a run when I'm traveling. | ||
| I have so many people telling me now, do not go out for a run in the morning. | ||
| You need to be very careful about this area. | ||
| That never used to happen before. | ||
| And the truth of the matter is that women in America are scared for our safety, and we're scared for the safety of our kids. | ||
| And it's good to see J.D. | ||
| out there supporting law enforcement in Michigan, because we certainly do need more of that. | ||
| Yeah, and I didn't mean to throw everybody under the bus, just most everybody. | ||
| But yeah, J.D. | ||
| Vance is an exception to the rule. | ||
| Can you give us a—we don't spend enough time bragging on the good guys. | ||
| Can you give us what's hopeful about Trump and J.D. | ||
| Vance? | ||
| All political views are my own. | ||
| But, you know, policy is up for debate here, and so it matters. | ||
| Tiffany? | ||
| It absolutely matters. | ||
| First of all, President Trump signed our parent pledge. | ||
| He's been very clear about the fact that he knows exactly the role that parents should be playing in their kids' lives, that parents should be directing every major decision that's happening. | ||
| So we know that President Trump supports parents. | ||
| We have a parent pledge on our way to J.D., and hopefully he'll sign it as well. | ||
| What J.G. | ||
| just said about the fact that when law enforcement doesn't step up, that the poor kids in communities lose out the most is true. | ||
| This is true in our schools as well. | ||
| As you saw, unions and Tim Walz shut schools down. | ||
| Kamala Harris supporting masking of children, supporting vaccinating of kids. | ||
| Kamala wanted to force every child over the age of five to be vaccinated. | ||
| Tim Walz actually gave out money I think it was like $200 per shot in his state in order for people to get vaccinated. | ||
| So we see that kids are constantly losing out. | ||
| And President Trump has always been very clear with me that he puts kids first, that he prioritizes family. | ||
| He knows how important moms and dads and families are in America. | ||
| And I think J.D. is no different. | ||
| I've loved getting to know him and his wife and watching them talk about their family. | ||
| One of the funniest things I saw recently was he said that President Trump called him | ||
| and he was thinking to himself, or he said, you know, shut the hell up. | ||
| I don't believe that J.D. said that to his son. | ||
| But I'll tell you what, I do a lot of live TV. | ||
| I've got four kids that are home this summer. | ||
| And absolutely in my mind, I'm like, oh, my goodness, did you need to get ice right now? | ||
| Right. | ||
| That's the first thing that I think about. | ||
| And so I just think he's a real person. | ||
| And that's what we need. | ||
| We need people who are not career politicians. | ||
| And that's what, you know, Kamala Harris, Tim Walz. | ||
| Now he's been in politics for quite some time. | ||
| These are politicians. | ||
| They will just do the bidding of the highest bidder. | ||
| And nobody owns President Trump. | ||
| I don't believe anybody owns J.D. Vance either. | ||
| And I'm just excited to see two dads in the White House. | ||
| Good. | ||
| One minute left, Tiffany. | ||
| On the Congressional and Senate side, a lot of my colleagues voted for a $7 trillion budget that allowed all the woke and weaponized policy issues under the sun into that $7 trillion because they were too scared to take a stand. | ||
| for the American people. | ||
| Can you recommend, we want everybody to start taking action, calling up their Congress members, | ||
| I don't care what party they're in, and senators, on these horrendous issues. | ||
| Can you name one or two pieces of horrendous legislation that made it through in our federal | ||
| budget this year? | ||
| Yeah, there was funding for community schools. | ||
| You and I have spoken about that before. | ||
| That is communism. | ||
| That is true communism. | ||
| They want to take your public schools. | ||
| They want to put medical clinics in the schools. | ||
| You add that with the lowered ages of informed consent. | ||
| You've got 12-year-olds now who apparently are supposed to be able to give consent for medical procedures or medical things in schools. | ||
| Absolutely unacceptable. | ||
| They're putting washers and dryers in schools, grocery stores in schools. | ||
| They want the schools to be a community hub. | ||
| When Eric Adams tells you that schools are community assets and he can shut one down to put illegal immigrants into a school instead of students, you should believe him. | ||
| And they want to take those schools and all of those capital assets and use them as really a complete social service welfare program in America. | ||
| Disengaging parents is not the way forward and every politician needs to stop community schools from happening in their state. | ||
| Yeah, Tiffany, how do people reach you and support your great organization? | ||
| Thank you, Dave. | ||

| We've got that summit coming up August 29th. | ||
| Join us in D.C. | ||
| We have some amazing speakers lined up, some special guests I'll be announcing hopefully later this week. | ||
| That's great. | ||
| Thank you, Tiffany. | ||
| All right, you just heard it. | ||
| War Room. | ||
| Steve Bannon was sitting in here after hearing this. | ||
| He'd be yelling, doing a rant right now, telling you to go to the ramparts, call your congressmen, call your governors. | ||
| If they're not out messaging on these horrific issues, they're guilty. | ||
| They're morally guilty. | ||
| of sins of omission, right? They should be acting and they're not. We've had Metaxasan. | ||
| Today we are joined with another superstar in the Christian movement who wants to build | ||
| strong Christians and strong citizens. And there's no one better in the country. He looks | ||
| I keep getting older and hit big numbers every day. | ||
| And here's one of my favorite guys, Ralph Reed. | ||
| Welcome to the War Room. | ||
| Glad to have you on, brother. | ||
| If you want to respond, first of all, to some of that, and then the Waltz VP pick, and then give Christians some sense of urgency. | ||
| Waltz, I hear, is a Lutheran. | ||
| And as I commented on the show, I'm not familiar with the Luther being in favor of all this horrific policy. | ||
| So enlighten us on what Christians should be doing in this modern world. | ||

|
Well, thanks, Dave. | |
| Great to be with you. | ||
| Steve is in our prayers. | ||
| We're praying for him, and we appreciate you stepping into the gap here and being a voice on this critical network. | ||
| Dave, there's no question. | ||
| It's irrefutable. | ||
| This is now officially the most far-left ticket, national ticket, in American history. | ||
| Kamala Harris, you know, allowed the cup to pass, That would have enabled her to broaden her reach, to move to the center, to try and reach the heartland of America with a message that was more centrist and mainstream. | ||
| And instead, she doubled down on a far-left agenda. | ||
| Tim Walz is somebody who He was a leader in the shutdowns. | ||
| He shut the entire state down. | ||
| He issued an executive order on May 13th of 2020 allowing retail establishments to reopen at up to 50% capacity and had a glide path for bars and restaurants to open within a matter of weeks. | ||
| But churches, Dave, were not allowed to organize with more than 10 congregants or worshipers. | ||
| This was a dagger aimed at the heart of religious freedom in the state of Minnesota. | ||
| It clearly violated the First Amendment rights of the people of that state. | ||
| And frankly, you don't need to know anything else about this guy, other than the fact That he thought that retail therapy was okay during COVID, but spiritual healing and worshiping in congregations was not. | ||
| That tells you where his priorities are. | ||
| This is a state that passed one of the most liberal, Dave, if not the most liberal abortion laws in America after the Dobbs decision, allowing abortion not only at any stage of pregnancy up to the moment of birth, but it has been documented. | ||
| They have allowed abortions to take place when children were born alive during an abortion, No life was saved. | ||
| A handful received so-called comfort care. | ||
| They were all allowed to die. | ||
| This is infanticide. | ||
| He's an extremist on law and order issues. | ||
| He's an extremist on gender issues. | ||
| Creating Minnesota as a sanctuary state where minors can come and have Surgery that will change their gender without their parents' involvement or permission. | ||
| This is a radical extremist. | ||
| And it's the most radical left ticket in American history. | ||
| We need to go out and tell that story. | ||
| And for Christians, Dave, there has never been more on the line, on the life issue, on religious freedom, on support for Israel. | ||
| You can't tell me that Josh Shapiro's support for the state of Israel, And his clear opposition to radical Palestinian protesters at the University of Pennsylvania didn't play a role in him being disqualified to be on that ticket. | ||
| There is no question that she was moving in that direction and he was told that somebody of his views need not apply. | ||
| So for evangelical Christians and other believers in this country who support the state of Israel, there's never been anything more on the line. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Denver, we got Ralph. | ||
| Did we lose him? | ||
| We got him back connected. | ||
| All right, I think we're reconnecting with Ralph Reed. | ||
| I think he's up. | ||
| Hey, Ralph, are you with us? | ||
| You with us, Ralph? | ||
| Can you hear me? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I sure can. | |
| Great, great. | ||
| Thank you for the summary and the strong statement. | ||
| And I think it's time for the Christians to double down on the entire litany you just listed and form a social contract in this country. | ||
| And I would like you, and I'm happy to help out on it, but we need Christian leaders to make a contract and think through how can we put a testable proposition in front of the presidential candidate Kamala Harris and VP Waltz. | ||
| Some statement about affirming that Christians are entitled to the full spectrum of rights that all Americans are entitled to. | ||
| Equal treatment, not special treatment. | ||
| Equal treatment under the law. | ||
| First Amendment freedoms to free speech, to free assembly. | ||
| I mean, it's just stunning. | ||
| The American people, and I grew up with a Minnesota nice people. | ||
| I grew up in high school in Minnesota. | ||
| They're all super nice people. | ||
| Yeah, and they've become passive, right? | ||
| And so what would you recommend to the War Room Posse? | ||
| We have an active, very active group. | ||
| But what kind of a statement should we be looking to put forward to the Democrats? | ||
| We've given a pass. | ||
| We don't ask them objectively. | ||
| Do you believe in God? | ||
| That matters, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Do you believe in God? | |
| I think it's a great idea, Dave. | ||
| I think we need to put something like that together. | ||
| And what I would urge your viewers who are watching the War Room to do is contact their elected officials, specifically their two senators and their member of Congress. | ||
| Contact them by email or phone call today. | ||
| Today, before, as soon as this show is over. | ||
| I don't want to pull them away from the show. | ||
| And ask them whether or not they agree with Kamala Harris and Tim Walz on these critical issues. | ||
| of minors receiving gender transitioning services, a surgery without their parents' permission, | ||
| on churches being closed when bars and restaurants and retail establishments are being reopened, | ||
| the hostility towards the state of Israel, trying to force them into a ceasefire | ||
| that would allow Hamas to survive as a military power in Gaza and empower Iran | ||
| abortion on demand up to the moment of birth, including a child born alive, | ||
| who is systematically executed and allowed to die on a table, | ||
| ask them whether or not they agree with those things and ask them to issue a public statement, | ||
| either affirming their support of those stands or their opposition. | ||
| And by the way, especially Democrats, because I got to tell you, I think there's at least 12 to 15 Democrats in the House, maybe as many as 30. | ||
| And multiple U.S. | ||
| Senate candidates, including Sherrod Brown in Ohio, obviously John Tester in Montana, Mark Kelly and many others, who are not going to want to be associated with this ticket. | ||
| They're not going to want to be seen with them. | ||
| They're not going to want to campaign with them. | ||
| And we've got to hit the gas on this thing, Dave. | ||
| Yeah, well, I agree with you 100%, Ralph. | ||
| And what you said at the end, those conditions, do you agree? | ||
| And of course, all of them are very clever communicators. | ||
| I lived with all of them up in the swamp for a few years. | ||
| And they're clever at getting around things. | ||
| But putting out a public statement, that's a key. | ||
| Or a written statement on behalf of these innocent children. | ||
| Who are just being mutilated, right? | ||
| And these policies, they're unconscionable. | ||
| As I said earlier in the show, the Marxists wouldn't dream of doing this on their own people, right? | ||
| There's none of this going on in Russia or China, right? | ||
| This is a neo-Marxist takedown in this country, and passive Christians are letting it happen. | ||
| Before we let you go, Ralph, tell us how people can get to you, contact you, help your group. | ||
| Well, just first give us your coordinates there so people can reach out and support you. | ||
|

|
They can reach us at Faith and Freedom at FFCoalition. | |
| FF as in Faith and Freedom Coalition dot com. | ||
| And Dave, as you know, in the next roughly 90 days, we're going to knock on the doors of 10 million homes. | ||
| With 17 to 18 million evangelical and Bible-believing Christians in those homes, it's the largest ground game for the faith community in the history of modern American politics. | ||
| Every one of the issues that you and I have talked about is going to be on those door hangers and on those voter guides. | ||
| And there's one other I want to mention, Dave, it's critical, and that is their Supreme Court packing plan. | ||
| Their scheme to repeal the filibuster in the Senate. | ||
| If Kamala Harris becomes president, they will repeal the filibuster if they have the Senate, and they will impose term limits on the conservative judges, and they'll get rid of three justices, they'll appoint radical left-wingers to every one of them, and we will not only lose the presidency in the White House, we'll lose the Supreme Court, and with it, our country. | ||
| Every one of those issues, Dave, 10 to 12 issues will go on door hangers, will be presented to those 17 to 18 million voters with an emphasis on Christian voters that don't turn out in every election, so-called low propensity voters. | ||
| And if people want to volunteer to walk their neighborhood, to organize their church, go to ffcoalition.com. | ||
| There's a place to volunteer. | ||
| Dave, we will have over 10,000 Paid staff and volunteers in the battleground states knocking on those 10 million doors, and when we do so, ignore the polls, forget about the polls, because if you're talking about 17 to 18 million voters that are reached at the door that are going to turn out at 5, 10, 15 percent higher rate than they normally would, you're talking about a million and a half to two million votes they're not even counting on. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Hey, Ralph, before you go, just real quick, I just want to heighten the energy for the evangelicals, for the Catholic brothers and sisters out there, for our Jewish friends. | ||
| What percent of the religious community is not voting right now? | ||
| It's staggering. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It is staggering. | |
| We estimate among evangelical Christians alone, it's about 17 million. | ||
| About half of whom are not registered, and about half of whom are registered but don't vote. | ||
| So that's 27% of the electorate. | ||
| It's about 42 million total voters. | ||
| So if we got the unregistered registered, it would rise to about 51 million. | ||
| And if we got all of them to vote, there's virtually no national election that we could not swing. | ||
| It's the largest single constituency in the electorate. | ||
| It's bigger than the Hispanic vote, the African-American vote and the union vote combined. | ||
| All we got to do, Dave, is make sure these folks understand what's on the line. | ||
| What the issues are that could be affected, how it could affect them, their family, and their children, and make it clear to them they have a Christian obligation and a responsibility to be an effective citizen, be informed, and vote. | ||
| This isn't about one party versus another. | ||
| It's not about left and right. | ||
| The Bible teaches that we are to be effective and empowered citizens of both a heavenly kingdom that is yet to fully come, and the earthly kingdom wherever God has planted us. | ||
| And this is not an option. | ||
| We've got to be informed. | ||
| We've got to vote. | ||
| That's the work we're doing right now, Dave. | ||
| Yep, no better man. | ||
| Ralph Reed, his entire life has been devoted to the Christian mission, the church, getting effective citizens. | ||
| Remember, in this country, under our Constitution, we the people are the sovereign. | ||
| Romans 13 says, obey your rulers. | ||
| In the United States of America, you are the rulers. | ||
| Your congressmen and women and senators all serve you. | ||
| The people are in charge. | ||
| You need to be an effective moral leader. | ||
| So, Ralph Reed, thanks for your leadership and your life work, and God bless you. | ||
| Thanks for being in the war room today, brother. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you, Dave. | |
| Great to be with you. | ||
| God bless. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Let me check with Denver if you want to put up in my viewer whether the vice president's still up. | ||
| Let's pivot over to coverage if we have it. | ||
| Is J.D. | ||
| Vance still up? | ||
| Alright, folks, let's go to E... Alright, let's go to JD Vance to close out this segment, and then we'll go to EJ and Tony. | ||
| If wages go up, it's going to make public safety in your communities better. | ||
| Look, I'm married to the daughter of legal immigrants. | ||
| I do believe in my heart that legal immigration can enrich this country, but not illegal immigration, which is what Kamala Harris has done all over this country. | ||
| It's made us less safe, it's driven down wages for working Americans, and it's made our communities less prosperous. | ||
| We've got to stop this craziness. | ||
| President Trump and I are going to do it. | ||
| And on that topic, I know that was the last question, but let me just offer one final observation again about these guys in the back. | ||
| Law enforcement is fundamentally a team effort. | ||
| You need the federal government to do what it needs to do. | ||
| You need the state government and the local governments to be empowered to keep people safe. | ||
| What is so broken about American public safety, it's not our local police officers who are doing great things. | ||
| It's not our state leadership who's very often doing great things. | ||
| It is the federal government. | ||
| Allowing criminals who shouldn't be here, promoting sex trafficking and drug trafficking at our southern border, it is making these guys' jobs so much more difficult. | ||
| And it's making it difficult in ways that we don't even always see. | ||
| I talked earlier to these guys behind me, a little bit earlier, we talked about the fact that when they have illegal aliens, and they have to provide food and housing for those illegal aliens, that's precious tax dollars that don't go into hiring additional officers that they need. | ||
| So we have been put in a zero-sum situation by Kamala Harris, where we can prioritize the interests of American citizens and their safety, or we can prioritize the health benefits of illegal aliens. | ||
| We have got to prioritize our own citizens. | ||
| This crime problem is a policy choice of Kamala Harris. | ||
| We can do so much better. | ||
| Elect Donald Trump, and we will. | ||
| God bless you guys and thank you. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All the way, man. | |
| Bring up... Yep, ready. | ||
| Thank you everybody. | ||
| All right, the great J.D. | ||
| Vance hitting it out of the park. | ||
| We appreciate him and all he's doing for this country already. | ||
| I want to go to E.J. | ||
| Antoni right now. | ||
| E.J. | ||
| has been holding on all this Breaking vice presidential messaging. | ||
| And so E.J., thanks for being with us today. | ||
| I know you want to give us a download. | ||
| What caused the massive downturn in the markets the other day? | ||
| And what does that tell us about the fragility or strength of our stock market system and our economy? | ||
| E.J., thanks for being with us. | ||
| Well, my pleasure, David. | ||
| You know, a lot of it has to do, actually, with Japan. | ||
| The Japanese central bank has been keeping their interest rates incredibly artificially low for a very, very long time. | ||
| We're talking decades of near-zero interest rates. | ||
| In fact, for several years, interest rates were actually negative. | ||
| In other words, banks had to pay interest to the central bank, believe it or not, for keeping money on deposit there. | ||
| And so what this did was create an arbitrage opportunity. | ||
| In other words, people could literally borrow money in Japan and then take that money and invest it here in the United States, especially in things like stocks. | ||
| And the proceeds from those stock gains could then be used to pay off the interest on the loans in Japan. | ||
| Plus, you have a little bit left over at the end. | ||
| This is commonly referred to as a carry trade. | ||
| The problem with a carry trade is that the margins are incredibly slim, so you're really | ||
| not getting that much of a rate of a return. | ||
| And that makes sense. | ||
| If there was a sizable return, then everybody would do it, and essentially the carry trade | ||
| would collapse. | ||
| So what happens is people leverage. | ||
| In other words, they will borrow money to make this happen, to increase their margins, to increase their rate of returns. | ||
| But some people have likened this maneuver to trying to pick up pennies in front of a steamroller. | ||
| And sure, it works just fine, so long as you can outpace that steamroller. | ||
| But if it ever surges ahead, you're in trouble. | ||
| That's basically what has happened. | ||
| the last few days because the Japanese central bank raised interest rates and only slightly, | ||
| I might add, but it was enough to blow up what is literally a $20 trillion market. | ||
| So there's a lot of money at play here, David. And what we're seeing now is the Japanese central | ||
| bank essentially capitulate and reverse course. And now this basically means that they are going | ||
| to go right back to reducing interest rates, to printing more money and to devaluing that currency. | ||
| This is very alarming because it's probably a sign of what other central banks around the world are going to continue doing. | ||
| In other words, we can expect a lot more inflation in a lot of places around the world. | ||
| Yeah, great summary, EJ. | ||
| And so, you know, several very interesting points about what you just raised. | ||
| Number one, Japan is acting against their own self-interest right now, right? | ||
| They wanted to change interest rate policy. | ||
| Now they can't do it because they just created a global tsunami. | ||
| You just said $20 trillion in this carry trade business. | ||
| And so our stock markets are set up almost like a casino based on what you're saying, right? | ||
| These are highly leveraged bets that can bring the United States of America to its knees. | ||
| Yesterday, when you looked at the stock block, right, with all the stocks in there and Finbiz, go out and visit them. | ||
| It was completely red. | ||
| So a carry trade in Japan brought down the entire United States stock market, has grave economic implications as well. | ||
| And so If you're running the country, EJ, what would you advise the President of the United States and the Congress to do to get us out of this? | ||
| America First means we need to organize this economy for the American worker, not for the rich 10% who own 90% of all these stocks that are doing all these leveraged trades. | ||
| So how do you reorganize the stock market, the Federal Reserve, the economy to serve the American people better? | ||
| Well, David, I think one of the things you have to do is you have to reduce the size of government. | ||
| You have to get those government expenditures down because it is the government spending and borrowing that made all of the printing of those trillions of dollars necessary. | ||
| That's why we had the artificially low interest rates. | ||
| And Japan really is in the same boat. | ||
| They're essentially a warning sign to the United States in terms of what we have to look forward to if we don't get our government under control, if we don't actually get the spending down. | ||
| Their debt-to-GDP ratios, for example, are even worse than we have them here in the United States. | ||
| And so, again, it is very much a foretaste of what we have to look forward to if we don't actually solve the fiscal problems in the United States. | ||
| It is the fiscal problems that have led to the monetary problems. | ||
| And what is Japan doing right now to try to essentially paper over the problem that they've created over the course of several decades? | ||
| They are devaluing their currency even further than it already has been devalued the last several years. | ||
| So again, the United States dollar has been greatly devalued in the last three and a half, four years, and we can go a heck of a lot further if we don't get our fiscal house in order. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep, yep. | |
| Hey, EJ, you know, Stephen K. Bannon always says the leftists are not going to hand the keys over to you, even if you win an election. | ||
| You have to take the keys from them and then run this country on the basis of what's good for the American people. | ||
| So, in closing, why don't you name two or three things? | ||
| I have, you know, the Republicans that voted for the $7 trillion budget, right? | ||
| The woke and weaponized budget. | ||
| Everybody at home in the war room posse ought to be looking up that vote. | ||
| And if your congressmen or senators or governors are voting for policy like that, Right. | ||
| We've just heard devastating results to our own children that comes out of that bill. | ||
| But can you name a couple other items that people should look up and see what their leadership has done and then give them a phone call to get them to serve our country better? | ||
| Oh, certainly, David. | ||
| And what I'm about to say applies just as equally to if you have a Republican representative or a Democrat representative or a Senator, whatever the case. | ||
| This is about policy, not politics here. | ||
| Just to be clear, you need to look up and see what your elective representatives have voted for. | ||
| Did they vote for these bloated budgets? | ||
| Did they vote for the deceptively named Inflation Reduction Act or the Infrastructure Bill or ARPA? | ||
| Whatever the case may be, find out if they voted for any of these bloated spending bills and then call up their offices and say, you are the reason That I can't afford groceries. | ||
| You are the reason I am paying two, three times as much as I used to for a dozen eggs. | ||
| You are the reason I'm driving around on bald tires because I can't afford new ones for my vehicle. | ||
| I can barely even afford the car insurance, right? | ||
| You need to say your vote that bloated and expanded the budget so much caused the inflationary nightmare and the cost-of-living crisis that I, your constituent, am dealing with. | ||
| It is your fault that I am in this position, and I am not going to vote for you again. | ||
| Yep, E.J. | ||
| and Tony, very well said. | ||
| This is not partisan, this is populist. | ||
| As Stephen K. Bannett says, I think we've got 70-75% of common sense Americans on our side. | ||
| E.J., thanks for being with us on The War Room today. | ||
| God bless you and all the work you continue to do. | ||
| Thank you for having me, David. | ||
| You bet. | ||
| All right, our next guest has been a personal friend of mine for years. | ||
| She's at Regent University now. | ||
| She used to be a firebrand in the U.S. | ||
| Congress, a bold Christian leader, a friend of Israel. | ||
| She's going around the globe in the recent weeks. | ||
| Fighting for Israel, always America first, before there wasn't America first, and that would be Congressman Michelle Bachmann. | ||
| Michelle, welcome to the show, a Minnesotan, and we wanted to hear you. | ||
| We know you served many, many years with now Governor Walz. | ||
| And maybe you could highlight some of the policy disasters that he's presided over in Minnesota. | ||
| And I know you've shared a few with me already. | ||
| It's just stunning what you've shared. | ||
| So fire away, Michelle. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, it is. | |
| And thank you, David, for having me. | ||
| It really is an amazing person and choice that Kamala Harris made. | ||
| It's inexplicable. | ||
| If you want the country to repair from these last three and a half years, you would never choose Tim Walz because Tim Walz has a proven record. | ||
| He actually has accomplishments, but they're all They're all in line with bringing Minnesota to a place of suicide politically. | ||
| And what do I mean by that? | ||
| Well, two years ago, 19,000 people from Minnesota left the state. | ||
| This is a state that when people are born into it, they die here. | ||
| It's generations of families. | ||
| People don't leave Minnesota. | ||
| It's very family-oriented, even though it's cold. | ||
| It's a beautiful place to be. | ||
| But under Tim Walz, something happened that never happened before. | ||
| People packed up. | ||
| They started leaving the state, and they're taking their assets. | ||
| The most productive people are leaving. | ||
| They're closing down their businesses, and they're letting their employees go. | ||
| This last year, 30,000 people packed up. | ||
| One of the highest Wow. | ||
| states that people fled from. They took $2 billion in assets out of this state. We've | ||
| never seen anything like this. After COVID, Minnesota was one of the slowest recovering | ||
| states and it's because of Tim Walz. Well, what did he do? | ||
| Here's what he did. He increased state spending in a downturn by 40%. | ||
| Who increases state spending in one year? | ||
|
unidentified
|
40%! | |
| We had a $17 billion surplus. | ||
| Oh, he blew through that surplus and then he left the Minnesota taxpayers with an additional $8-10 billion in new taxes that we're going to have to raise. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because he exploded Minnesota government. | ||
| How did he do that? | ||
| He decided in Minnesota, David you remember, you lived here, the coldest state, he said to Minnesota, oh the natural gas, the coal, the hydropower, the nuclear power you've been using to have fairly reasonable energy costs because you're the coldest state, well that's gone. | ||
| We're going to dismantle all of that, and they're doing that right now. | ||
| We're dismantling all your sources of energy. | ||
| The only thing you get is solar power, which is 200% more expensive than the energy we had, and wind power, which is 50% more expensive than what you had. | ||
| Then he put these unreasonable mandates on businesses. | ||
| So if you own a commercial building, a building that's not a house, You have to decrease your energy costs by 80%. | ||
| Who can do that? | ||
| So people are throwing up their hands in Minnesota. | ||
| Walls is not light in Minnesota. | ||
| They're throwing up their hands if they're normal people who want to make a living and do better by their family, and they're selling their business, they're letting their employees go, they're taking whatever assets they have. | ||
| They're moving out. | ||
| So what he did to business is a disaster in Minnesota. | ||
| He's destroyed businesses. | ||
| He's destroyed, he's made the cost of living so expensive for people that what he's doing is he's increasing all the welfare programs, but there's no revenue coming in to pay for them. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| Michelle, we're going to hold you after the break. | ||
| And I think you've just started warming up, but you know, how can a football, he's a football coach and he's a hunter. | ||
| You know, he's just a good old guy. | ||
| So back with Michelle Bachmann to dispel some of the mythology right after the break. |
