mat staver ▲ ● ▼		He uses that word a lot.
mat staver ▲ ● ▼		Neighbor.
unidentified		My neighbors.
		Talk to us about what you perceive to be the importance of Tim Walz, Coach Walz, on this ticket.
		Yeah, I think it's a very significant moment.
		I think John Heilman is right that a lot of us in the journalist or pundit class are maybe a little bit slow on the uptake of what this is because we're used to an older paradigm.
		I think a lot of us We're trained in a pre-authoritarian Republican moment, pre-fascist Republican playbook, running against people like Mitt Romney, and so strategies about swing states and those kinds of things came out of those experiences.
		We are now in a moment when the right in this country is an authoritarian movement, increasingly fascistic movement.
		And part of what you see in authoritarian movements around the world is that they make people feel things, right?
		They make people emotional.
		They get the blood up.
		And Democrats for too long have been running against authoritarianism with wonkiness, with policy, with material things, with bridges and roads, all very worthy things.
		But not competing on the level of getting the blood up, making people feel.
		And so I think this is a choice that shows, and as you've seen throughout the last two weeks, this is a campaign that understands the importance of vibes.
		Vibes can sound dismissive or like some Gen Z thing, but it's actually about competing against authoritarianism when they are very directly targeting the limbic system of voters.
		It's actually Democrats joining the contest for people's hearts and not just appealing to the brain.
		I think when you talk about a figure like Coach Walls, obviously there were a bunch of good notes around the freedom frame, patriotism, things like that.
		But the biggest significance of this man Is that he is an older white man in a moment in which the far right is trying to convince white people that the future is treacherous for them, trying to convince men that the future is treacherous for them.
		And here is a an older white man, a coach, a soldier.
		Who is very hard to dismiss as some kind of effect coastal elite, who is telling older folks and white people, you do not need to be afraid of the future.
		There is joy in the future.
		There is joy in having your boss be a black woman.
		There is joy in what is coming.
		And I think he is going to teach lots of people in addition to whatever role he plays in an election and in the White House.
		He's going to teach lots of people through his role in the culture.
		That they're going to be OK and that there's joy on the far side of realizing a multiracial democracy in this country.
		And I think there's a deeper psychological significance to everything you just said, which is we're living in a moment in which and I'm quoting a Twitter user I just saw.
		named Riley. Tim Waltz is the dad and grandpa that Rush and Rupert stole from us.
		He's the family we lost when their personalities changed seemingly overnight.
		If the right-wing funded rage machine never existed, we would have had millions like him.
		They've broken so many families. I can't tell you how much that tweet that I just saw
		resonates with my reporting over these years.
		We are living in a country in which millions and millions of people literally feel like they have living, dead family members who have been brainwashed into hatred and extremism.
		And here's a guy who shows another way.
		Butter carving.
		I said yesterday, look, everyone in America, regardless of your family structure, just got a new dad and he would like you to have an orange.
		And this is someone who shows a different model of masculinity and a joyous sense of the future.
		And I think it's very personally resonant for people who have struggled, as I know so many have, with people lost to the tunnel of MAGA extremism.
joy reid ▲ ● ▼		Some crazy Marxist idea that you could actually have automatic voter registration so you don't have to stand in line at the DMV for an hour and a half.
unidentified		These are crazy things.
		This is the new moderate.
		I think this is the new moderate.
		I think that these things are enormously popular.
		It's funny that the Wall Street Journal acts like it's Marxism.
		It's the Democratic platform and most of those things have 60-80% approval.
		I think, and Stuart knows this better than I do, unfortunately in some very deep red states, even though they might want those things, they are voting other interests and it's sad.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
unidentified		Pray for our enemies.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Because we're going medieval on these people.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		President Trump got a free shot at 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've tried 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. Babb.
unidentified		Welcome to the War Room.
dave brat ▲ ● ▼		I'm going to go to the bathroom.
		August 8, 2024, year of our Lord.
		Remembering Stephen K. Bannon, political prisoner.
		That cold open is one of the worst I've ever seen in my life.
		There's triggering, and then there's triggering, and then there's gaslighting.
		Don't know where to start, right?
		Let's start with the right-wing authoritarianism.
		President Trump was In office for four years, there was no right-wing authoritarianism, not a sign of it that they can point to.
		No evidence, no receipts, right?
		All political views are my own.
		Instead, I'm sitting in the chair of someone today who is in jail.
		Stephen K. Bannon is a political prisoner who broke no laws, right?
		He would not bend the knee to a corrupt committee set up by Pelosi where Republicans weren't given attorneys or the ratios of Republicans and Democrats required in the rules of the House.
		Peter Navarro is now out of jail in the same pretense.
		President Trump can be put in jail anytime.
		And so we're being gaslit.
		That's why it's incumbent on you to take action, action, action.
		You need to share this show.
		This is one of the few shows and this one, a few platforms, RAV, Rumble, etc.
		Share with everybody, you know, because it's the only place you're going to hear this.
		Just as a reminder about authoritarianism also, you know, Biden kind of ran from the basement the last time around.
		Kamala Harris won't go in front of the microphones, right?
		It's like a Seinfeld show about nothing, right?
		She's running on nothing.
		That's the way the Democrats do it.
		They run on nothing.
		And they win.
		And the left always gives it away.
		I don't even know who that commentator is.
		I've seen him.
		And Steve just has, you know, a heart attack every time he talks.
		And so I'm glad he was up.
		But he started using language like this, you know, the right, they're targeting your limbic system, you know, with the emotional stuff.
		But there's good notes with Tim Walz, right?
		Good notes, you know, musical notes.
		Right after he talks about triggering the limbic system with feelings, right?
		Which harkens back to Plato and all this stuff.
		Beware the rhetorician.
		They're the ones that are good at that.
		We're boring people, right?
		The Republicans, unfortunately, are Cub Scouts who follow the Constitution, the Judeo-Christian tradition.
		We're the good folks.
		And so this media psyop that they've been running for the last week or two, it will wear out.
		But then it's incumbent on us to share this news and this platform with people to get the news out.
		The folks you're going to hear from today, it's a star-studded lineup again and again and again.
		Compliments to our team for setting all that up.
		They all brought up Marxism, right?
		The New York Times, you know, Republicans bringing up Marxism.
		Hey, our side would like power returned to the states.
		We don't want centralized government, the left does.
		The Marxists, with all this gender surgery stuff going on, you know the funny thing about Marxism?
		The Marxists won't even do this to themselves, to their own countries, right?
		You don't see any of this crazy sexual operations on kids without telling the parents in Russia or China.
		They save that for the countries they want to destroy.
		So it's beyond Marxism, right?
		It's Neo-Marxism.
		And all of our guests today are going to be on this.
		Just on the cold hard facts, the Chinese government is smaller than the U.S.
		government.
		Just for the Marxist data points and receipts, right?
		The Chinese government is only 14% of GDP.
		The U.S., which we are accusing of having Marxist tendencies, is 18% of GDP.
		Right?
		We have people, political prisoners right now.
	I could go down the list on that, but we have great guests with us.
	I want to bring up Matt Staver, a good friend over the years.
	He's fighting for liberty.
	And Matt, welcome to the War Room.
	I think you wanted to share the urgency of everyone voting, right?
	And all political views are my own, but this new populist resurgency, it's for all Christians.
	The issues we're talking about, it's not partisan, Republican, Democrat, this is saving the Republican time, and you've been fighting for liberty your whole life, so bring us up to speed on what the real urgency is for Americans right now.
mat staver ▲ ● ▼		Well Dave, thank you for inviting me on your program, and I agree with everything you're saying here, and certainly Steve Bannon is a political prisoner.
		I, you know, your program has the opportunity to get this information out.
		And after watching that information that was at the introduction, that rhetoric that was at the introduction, if you don't have a motivation to vote, then you need to check your pulse because you're probably dead.
		You know, the kind of rhetoric, it's like we're living in a different world here.
		He's saying that the Republicans or those prior to Donald Trump, You know, we have this fascism.
		You know, I've been going through this fascinating podcast series on real dictators.
		Very well done.
		And the commonality that you see is the same commonality you see in the Democratic Party.
		You have Waltz, for example, having race and ethnicity and gender and all of that to divide people.
		You have his wife saying that she left the window open so that she could smell the burning rubber as her city in Minneapolis was burning down and she left the window open as long as she possibly could to just savor that moment.
		That was a historic moment of change.
		It was a historic moment of destruction.
		You allowed it.
		You condoned it.
		Kamala Harris praised those rioters, those looters, those people who were willing to kill and destroy.
		That's fascism.
		That's fascism.
		And fascism is also Taking little kids, giving them puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and amputating their healthy breasts.
		That's fascism, where you destroy them.
		And fascism is also taking children all the way up to the point of birth, which is what Waltz wants to do, and kill those babies up to the point of birth, late-term abortion.
		That is the most extreme Uh, ticket in American history and we've seen, for example, what happens to their political opponents.
		Well, Steve Bannon gets sent to prison.
		Donald Trump is indicted.
		Those people that are on the opposite side of the ideology of different worldview than this democratic machinery, they are being treated like they're in a third world country.
		This is what happens in other countries.
		We never thought that kind of fascism would come here in America, but it is coming from the engines of this democratic machinery.
		Currently from the Biden-Harris and certainly the Harris-Waltz ticket would even be worse than the current administration.
dave brat ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, thank you, Matt.
		And you're particularly strong on the need for the Judeo-Christian tradition to re-strengthen itself, but with resolve.
		Minnesota, I went to high school in Minnesota, it's known for being Minnesota nice, right?
		Very nice people, Lutherans, you know, Swedish, Finns, etc., Scandinavians, great people, love sports, all this kind of thing.
		But for some reason, the church, the Christians, I have extended liberty.
		You work for Liberty Council.
		We've extended liberty and turned the other cheek for so long now that it's being abused by these hard leftists, not liberal Democrats, hard leftists.
		So what's the message to the Christian church right now, and especially the evangelicals or the Catholics who say, you know, Christians should, you know, be passive.
		We should just obey our rulers and just, you know, love everybody and that's it.
		What's your response, Matt?
mat staver ▲ ● ▼		Well, you know, we have a constitution and we also have inalienable rights that even supersede that constitution.
		We are endowed by our creator with unalienable rights, including the right to life.
		The right to life is the most important right of all rights.
		Without the right to life, we have no liberties.
		The right to religious freedom or the right to own property is illusory if you're a corpse, if you're dead.
		The right to life is preeminent.
		And so one of the most preeminent and most important rights is to stand up for that right and protect the most vulnerable, our neighbor that is in the womb.
		And what we have here with the Harris-Waltz situation here teaming up is the most extreme pro-abortion, pro-death, slaughtering children ticket ever to ever come together in the United States.
		It is Kamala Harris who started the litigation against our client Sandra Merritt in California coming after her with criminal charges and then passing that baton over to Xavier Becerra who's now in the HHS under the Biden administration and coming after these journalists because they exposed Planned Parenthood engaging in the sale of baby body parts to organ procurement companies.
		Some of these babies were then dissected of their organs while they were still alive so that they could get intact organs without any chemical interference for the research.
		Some of these babies were skinned so that they could be used to humanize mice so that they could research male pattern baldness.
		That's Kamala Harris.
		If we can't motivate churches and pastors to speak up on that, then, you know, we're in a sad situation.
		Pastors and churches need to speak up.
dave brat ▲ ● ▼		Matt Staver, Liberty Council's got to jump on us, but we're going to have them back on again.
unidentified		Here's your host, Stephen K. Batt.
dave brat ▲ ● ▼		Back in the War Room, Dave Bradsit again for the great Stephen K. Bannon.
		You know the War Room has been on fire over the years.
		Steve loves geopolitics, capital markets, one of his great friends.
		I cannot compliment Stephen K. Bannon enough for the breadth and depth of his friends.
		You want to talk about diversity, you watch this show, and the diversity of intellectual ideas that are first rate, you get here and nowhere else.
		And so today, you all know, we've been talking about the $9 trillion in funny money at the Fed and the $2 trillion deficits, and I cover the economics with folks.
		But today we have Jason Trenner.
		He spends his life in the trenches.
		Uh, with Wall Street and the most sophisticated people in the world.
		And so, Jason, welcome to the War Room.
		And just let people know right off the bat, you know, they see the market going up, you know, to highest highs this year and then down significantly a few days ago, then up a little bit, down a little bit.
		Today it looks up a little bit.
		What are we to make of all this, Jason?
jason trennert ▲ ● ▼		I think, listen, we're going to make that this is a very fragile economy that's built on debt.
		And the debt, and in particularly low interest rates that's been pervasive during the Biden-Harris administration, is remarkably, it's great for rich people, and it's not particularly good for the average person.
		That's particularly apparent when it comes to inflation.
		And something you may have heard on this program, we created the Common Man CPI.
		And what that shows you is that people's standard of living has deteriorated meaningfully during the Biden-Harris administration.
		During the Trump administration, wages actually exceeded inflation.
		In this last three and a half years, people's standard of living has deteriorated meaningfully.
		You can see with the market action that the market is fragile.
		Even slight increases in interest rates in Japan are having meaningful impacts on our financial markets here.
		It should not work that way.
		The financial system should be much more robust than that, especially in the United States.
dave brat ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, well, and, you know, the America First slogan, it sounds like a slogan, but what you just said really hits it, right?
		Our financial system, the Fed printing the money, bailing out the fat cats in 07-08, no one goes to jail, massive, you know, crimes, at least hugely unethical behavior.
		So what are some recommendations you would make?
		Well, you know, I was asked this on a panel at the RNC, and I think it fits in perfectly with President Trump's agenda.
		The first thing, the most obvious thing, is to drill, baby, drill, is to use our own natural resources.
		once again incentivize American manufacturer, American jobs, and American wages.
jason trennert ▲ ● ▼		Well, you know, I was asked this on a panel at the RNC, and I think it fits in perfectly
		with President Trump's agenda.
		The first thing, the most obvious thing, is to drill, baby, drill.
		Is to use our own natural resources.
		We're the first country in the history of human beings.
		To avoid our own natural resources.
		To not use them.
		Up until 1945, people would generally go to war.
		Countries would go to war with one another over natural resources.
		Here, we're actively ignoring them.
		And that is very much to the detriment of regular people.
		Environmentalism, in my opinion, has become a secular religion in which there's absolutely no discussion.
		But to me, that is the simplest thing that President Trump is talking about that would give you a lot of leeway, a lot of wiggle room to do other things and to make adjustments to the economy that make the economy much more sustainable.
		I also think the use of tariffs as a tool, not certainly as a starting point, but as a tool to get better terms of trade makes a lot of sense.
		There's nothing wrong with that if it's in the pursuit of freer trade.
		We have not had free trade with China ever.
		We've been in a trade war with China since they joined the WTO.
		Unfortunately, a lot of our business leaders have either been too sold out or too naive to understand that.
		And I think we have to get our act together and understand That this is a threat.
		China is a threat economically.
		It's likely a threat militarily.
		They're not our friends.
		We have to have a much more robust economy where we're producing things like pharmaceuticals and basic materials in the United States.
		We're not dependent upon our enemies for our own survival.
		It makes no sense.
dave brat ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I agree with everything you just said, Jason.
		To that point, on Wall Street, when you talk to all the folks in all the markets across the world, to me it seems like there's widespread agreement that we are in the midst of another bubble.
		The uncertainty has to do with when does that bubble give way, when does it pop?
		And when it happens, it's not going to be pretty.
		And what you just got done saying about China, it looks like China is weakening, right?
		In the 2010s, the China growth at, you know, 8-10% was carrying us a bit.
		Now that's fading.
		And they're looking, you know, they're navel-gazing going internal because they're getting scared of what's probably coming as well.
		So what are you hearing from the finance experts around the globe about this bubble popping?
		Any guesses out there as to what we got coming in the year or two to come?
jason trennert ▲ ● ▼		Well, listen, we're basically at $35 trillion in debt.
		$26 trillion of that's owed to the public.
		Our interest expense now exceeds our defense budget.
		So our economic weaknesses are becoming a national security issue.
		Next year, Interest expense on the debt alone will exceed Medicare as well.
		So that's what people are worried about.
		And the thing is, we're living off of the kindness of strangers to buy our debt.
		We cannot continue to borrow this much amount of money without seeing higher long-term interest rates.
		There's a thing that was discussed in the 1970s called crowding out.
		And crowding out is the idea that if the government is borrowing a lot more, is occupying a lot bigger part of the trough, It leaves less room for entrepreneurs.
		It leaves less room for banks to make loans to entrepreneurs and regular people that just want to improve their lives.
		That is what we're looking at.
		That's what people are worried about.
		The U.S.
		has gotten lucky because it is a reserve currency.
		But as we know, a reserve currency is no divine right.
		I see behind you, you have the School of Athens.
		There is nothing, by Raphael, there's nothing modern about modern monetary theory.
		It is the oldest trick in the book.
		Spending money you don't have on bread and circuses to keep people happy while you're doing other things socially that the elites like.
		It's, again, it is cliche and it's as old as humanity itself.
dave brat ▲ ● ▼		No, I think you're spot on.
		Thank you, Jason, for joining us.
		Why don't you let people know, how do they reach you?
		How do they read what you're writing?
		Any other points of contact?
		And then give us a sense of urgency in closing as well.
		The vote, right?
		As Stephen K. Bannon says, we probably have 70% of Americans on this populist train, right?
		It's not the old partisan right-left thing, Republican-Democrat.
		It's the American people want a life again.
		So how do people reach you and what's the sense of urgency?
jason trennert ▲ ● ▼		Well, I'll start with the urgency because that's more important than me personally, but the urgency is intense.
		And I think as Sarah Huckabee Sanders said, it's not left-right.
		It's crazy versus not crazy.
		It's normal versus abnormal.
		Today our Christian values, following the Constitution, that is at the very heart of this election, and I can't think of an election that's been more important in my lifetime.
		So the urgency is intense.
		I beg people not to take this for granted.
		I'm a student of history, of economic history, and I can tell you, as you know, that history is replete with people that have taken their liberties for granted, only to pay for it later on.
		The best way to get in touch with me is through my Twitter account, at Jason Trennert underscore.
		And I think that's the best way.
		And I'm also, you can find me pretty easily on the internet and all the rest.
		So thanks for having me.
dave brat ▲ ● ▼		All right, Jason Trennert.
		Everybody loves you, Jason.
		Keep up the great work.
		Thanks for joining us on The War Room.
		God bless.
		All right, Jason, always great.
		Next we have Mark Paoletta on deck.
		And everybody needs to think very seriously about, Mark, what he's going to share with us.
		I didn't know any of this.
		I've read a little bit on it now to try to catch up to Mark's big brain on all this stuff.
		But it's not just the leadership.
		It's like, who's going to sit in the chairs of power in Washington, D.C.?
		And so, Mark Paoletto, why don't you give us a briefing on who's going to be in the cabinet and who's going to be running the White House if the Trump team does not prevail, which we know he's going to.
		But let's just motivate the people with the other case.
mark paoletta ▲ ● ▼		Hey Dave, thanks for having me on.
		You know, Kamala Harris's first decision, personnel decision, was to hire Tim Walz, who is the most radical leftist known to man.
		You know, abortion on demand, transgender sanctuary, let his city, let Minneapolis burn to the ground.
		You know why?
		Because he thought they deserved to be burned to the ground, right?
		That's what he did.
		He let Minneapolis burn to the ground and was proud of it.
		His wife opened the windows so she could smell the tires.
		Just really, really bad stuff.
		Deserted his men when they got called up to get deployed to Iraq.
		Uh, stolen valor, um, all that sort of stuff.
		So that's, that is her first appointment.
		I can see, right, what she did there, right?
		She bent her knee to the left.
		She's a radical, but the left, right, and those forces on the left are even more radical, and she will get pulled, willingly, to their side.
		So what does that mean?
		That means Cori Bush, in my view.
		That means Jamal Bowman.
		That means Ilhan Omar.
		Uh, Rashida Tlaib going into the administration in senior positions.
		Um, you know, because they were the ones most excited about walls.
		They are the ones that will be rewarded.
		Senator Lafonza Butler, who replaced Kamala Harris when she was became vice president, was the head of Emily's List, right?
		A radical left wing abortion on demand group.
		She's been talked about to go into the administration.
		She agreed not to run for re-election when she was appointed, so she's definitely going to be looking for a job if they win.
		Brian Fallon is an operator in Washington, D.C.
		who's wanted to tear apart and destroy the Supreme Court.
		He was a head of a group called Demand Justice, a hard-left Dark money funded group that went after the Supreme Court and in particular also Stephen Breyer.
		They forced Stephen Breyer, a liberal, off the bench so that Biden could pick Katonji Brown Jackson.
		And that is something that you're going to see.
		You're going to see the Harris administration go after the Supreme Court.
dave brat ▲ ● ▼		Yep.
mark paoletta ▲ ● ▼		Try and impose term limits, which is unconstitutional.
mark paoletta ▲ ● ▼		Replace justices by sidelining them, like Justice Thomas and the rule of law.
dave brat ▲ ● ▼		Right, right.
		Mark Paoletta back after the break with us.
		He's naming names and next he's going to name the slots that are up for grabs.
unidentified		War Room, here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
dave brat ▲ ● ▼		Alright, back in the War Room with the great Stephen K. Bannon.
		We have Mark Paoletto with us.
		He was just filling us in with the implications of Harris-Waltz White House and the likely nominations.
		He reeled through many, many names, all hard, hard left.
		And so, Mark, why don't you reel off some of the power positions?
		Who controls access to the White House, chief of staffs?
		You know, Treasury, Department of Defense, National Security.
		What are some of the big posts that might also encourage people to get out and vote if we want to keep our republic?
mark paoletta ▲ ● ▼		So, Dave, again, I think Senator Butler, who I mentioned, could be HHS Secretary, right?
		Pro-choice, radical, abortion on demand up to birth.
		But the other thing to really think about, right, because they have all these radical policies, left policies that are just on steroids, right?
		The worst in history, okay?
		The Biden team, which was the worst in history, just a warm-up for what Harris is going to do if she gets in.
		But it's really the law enforcement Department of Justice, which really should bring fear into
		the American people's minds as to and the posse in terms of what's going to happen.
		And so you could see Fannie Willis, you could see Alvin Brack, you could see Dan Goldman,
		all of these people who were weaponized against President Trump, weaponized against Steve
		Bannon, weaponized against people who spoke up, weaponized against a 70-year-old woman
		who prayed in front of an abortion clinic, who's going to jail for something like three
		years, right?
		They let off criminals, illegal aliens coming into the country, raping and murdering our
		people and they let them go and they have a 70-year-old woman going to jail for praying
		in front of an abortion clinic, okay?
		And that is what...
		It's going to happen.
		It's going to be.
		They've set the table as to how to go after their opponents, to weaponize the law, to prosecute them, to put them in jail.
		And that's what you're going to see with a lot of these people.
		These Soros prosecutors, they're young folks, right?
		They've invested in them.
		They're down the line.
		They're nameless people for the most part that don't get up on the national level, but they will be the ones appointed into the Department of Justice.
		Into the HHS, into other places where they will go after the American people for exercising their liberties, their religious freedoms.
		And that's the danger here because they saw how successful it was going after the Trump people, that if they get elected, they're going to take this as a green light to put in place all of these people to go after their opponent.
		It's going to be scary.
dave brat ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, Mark.
		Yeah, Mark.
		And on that note, I mean, you know this, the insiders know these names and positions of power and how it works, but Harris hasn't gone to a microphone in over two weeks.
		Right.
		And so will any of this have to come out prior to the election?
		Will any of this come out at the DNC convention?
		Is there any way for folks to track this?
		This is huge, right?
		This is the architecture for the United States of America for the next four years.
		And you're going to get two teams which are vastly different.
		And so they're silent.
		I understand why they're silent based on the names you're reading.
		But when will this eventually have to come out?
mark paoletta ▲ ● ▼		You know, Dave, the press needs to do their job.
		I thought it was just great what J.D.
		Vance did yesterday and walked over and sort of called out the press for letting Kamala Harris get away with not talking to the press.
		It's unprecedented.
		The press seems to be embarrassed enough that I think something is going to, I don't know, it's not going to happen at the DNC convention.
		And I'll leave you with one other thing.
		It's going after the Supreme Court and trying to tear it down.
		And I'll have a piece coming out hopefully in the next couple of days which shows the example of Venezuela when Hugo Chavez, The Supreme Court of Venezuela ruled in favor of the government 45,474 times and ruled against it once.
		is he added 12 to them, right?
		And for the 10 years after that, 2004 to 2014, the Supreme Court of Venezuela ruled in favor
		of the government 45,474 times and ruled against it once.
		That is what the left is looking for, is a rubber stamp on all of their authoritarian actions
		that the Supreme Court has been knocking down because they infringe on our constitutional protections.
		What the left wants to do is destroy the Supreme Court, take out, when I say take out,
		sideline them by taking away their jurisdiction.
		It's unconstitutional.
		That's the play they're going to make.
		But it's to have a Supreme Court compliant with what they want to do.
		And it's extraordinarily dangerous.
unidentified		Yeah.
dave brat ▲ ● ▼		Hey, Mark, thanks for being with us.
		Thanks for bringing this issue up because it's huge and we haven't been paying enough attention to it.
		And speaking of the Supreme Court, I heard you may have done a little writing lately on that.
		You got a book you want to pitch and tell folks how to reach you?
mark paoletta ▲ ● ▼		Sure.
		Thanks, Dave.
		My book just came out in paperback.
		It's called Created Equal, Clarence Thomas' own words, which is based on 25 hours of interviews with the justice that was done for a movie of the same name.
		But it's a great book to learn all about our greatest justice, our greatest living American.
		And since he's under attack, The posse should learn as much as they can about him because he's a great man.
		I'm on X on at Mark Paoletta.
		I have a website markpaoletta.com where I put up all my articles and you can see some of my testimony and things like that defending the court, calling out the left for their radicalism and authoritarianism.
		And I'm at the Center for Renewing America where Russ Vought is the head and we do some great work over there.
		So thanks for having me on Dave.
dave brat ▲ ● ▼		No, thanks, Mark.
		You're always great.
		Thank you for being on.
		Mark Paoletta, everybody.
		Go buy his book.
		I also want to remind you, until we restore this republic, we live in times of great uncertainty.
		Your home is your greatest asset.
		People have been stealing homes.
		Go to hometitlelock.com, code word Bannon, talk with their folks, read their literature.
		They will show you the risk.
		Of losing the title to your home, right?
		The interest payments, the principal payments you put into your home, it's your number one asset, right?
		You've worked a lifetime for that.
		Young folks, you're just getting started.
		Do you feel certain about the rule of law in this country?
		If you do, keep watching this show and you might lose that certainty.
		I'm sitting in the chair of someone who should be a free man today.
		So please visit our friends at hometitlelock.com, code word Bannon.
		Make sure the title to your home is safe.
		Right now we're going to another American patriot.
		From Georgia, who's been doing great work, right?
		Steve Bannon loves to call attention to these heroes that are working to save our republic.
		And so Sally Grubbs is coming up, but we're going to first do a cold open to highlight her great work.
nicolle wallace ▲ ● ▼		Georgia passed its voter integrity law in 2021, despite the findings by Republicans that there was no widespread voter fraud in the state of Georgia during the 2020 election that Joe Biden had legitimately won.
		They did three counts.
		So shouldn't they be bragging about the security and supremacy of their system?
		This fight isn't limited to Georgia.
		This may be the ballgame for Donald Trump this time.
		Reporting in Rolling Stone last week, I identified nearly 70 pro-Trump election conspiracy theorists across several swing states currently working as county election officials who have questioned the validity of elections or delayed or refused to certify results.
		According to the nonpartisan group Protect Democracy, since the 2020 election, members of state and local boards have voted against certification more than 20 times across eight states.
		Our friend and voting rights attorney Mark Elias puts it like this, quote,
		with fewer than 100 days until the election, Republicans are building an election subversion
		war machine. Vice President Harris described herself as the underdog. I mean, I think
		they're ready for an onslaught of aggressive campaigning from the Trump side. So even though
		he appears to have none of the momentum today, there seems to be a lot of clarity
		that he could very well sort of regain some strength and come back. If this is another
		very, very close election that comes down to thousands, hundreds of votes in a handful of
		states, what is Trump doing?
		I mean, why is Trump calling out election board members?
		Why are they seeding these boards?
		What is their plan?
		What does that look like?
unidentified		Yeah, look, I think that their plan is really straightforward.
		If you have a very close election, You know, there are opportunities for the scoreboard keeper, to use the analogy, to decide how quickly they want to put numbers up on the board, how slowly, whether they want to wait and see if the ref sees it a different way, and ultimately maybe get them to put up the wrong score.
		And so they are seeding not just the certification boards, They are seating the frontline workers, the people at the polls, the people at the county offices, the people processing absentee ballots.
		We need to understand that this is not a one-off situation of three bad apples in Georgia.
		This is a campaign that has been built on how to spoil apples by the bushel.
		And that is what they are trying to do.
		They are trying to put election deniers from polling place to Secretary of State and everything in between.
		So when we celebrate that, look, they weren't able to put an election denier in the Secretary of State's office in Nevada or in Michigan or in Arizona, you know, and we are not necessarily seeing, well, what did they do at the county level?
		And then what did they do at the sub-county level?
		What did they do at the municipal level?
		And their hope is that by placing enough election deniers in the process, they can in a close election sway the outcome.
		But, you know, the fact is that in a presidential election, there are a lot of people watching what they're going to be up to.
		And I think that the Harris campaign will be more than ready.
dave brat ▲ ● ▼		Dave Brad in for the great Stephen K. Bannon.
		Boy, it's just unbelievable listening to the falsehoods from the left coming out about election deniers, etc.
		Of course, it's gaslighting.
		It's the exact opposite.
		We believe in fair elections because we believe in our great republic.
		We also believe in the truth, right?
		We believe in transparency.
		We want to shine the light on everything.
		They're horrified that people are actually going to be in the room watching things.
		And we have one of our great patriots and I just got to meet her and in five seconds, I just love working with the War Room friends.
		Everyone I meet, you can just tell they're a truth teller in like three seconds.
		And so we have Sally Grubbs with us from Georgia, I think the head of Cobb County.
		She's got some great news to share with you.
		And if you want to react, first of all, to that clip, feel free.
		Welcome to the War Room.
unidentified		Thanks, Dave.
		Thanks for having me.
		And I appreciate the work you're doing in Steve's absence.
		Man, I tell you what, MSNBC really gets to great lengths.
		I mean, when they have Mark Elias on there, who is talking about election deniers, He is a truth denier.
		He lives in fantasy land.
		And the unfortunate part is, is he's well funded and he is attacking good, hardworking board of elections folks that we have that are in place.
		And what kills me is I will read the text to you.
		From the particular rule that he is having a fit about, and it is over talking about certifying an election and what it means to actually certify.
		We're back in the Bill Clinton days of determining what the definition of is is.
		And so we're talking about what actually certifying means.
		And keep in mind, you've got these people who are on these election boards that raise their right hand.
		They swear to uphold the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the state of Georgia in our case.
		And all they're saying is we need the accurate information to certify.
		And so this rule that he's having a bit about says certify the results of a primary election or runoff or words to that effect means to attest after reasonable inquiry that the tabulation and canvassing of the election are complete and accurate.
		And are a true accounting of all votes cast in that election.
		That's all we're talking about.
		We just want the truth.
		Let the chips fall where they may.
		This is not an election denier situation.
		This is about the truth.
		Right.
dave brat ▲ ● ▼		Very good.
		We got about 30 seconds.
		Give us a couple hints.
		You mentioned a couple pieces of good news and we'll hold you after the break for a couple minutes if you can stay with us.
		What are the couple pieces of good news you got?
unidentified		So we've got two of our rules passed and then we have the reopening of the Monclo Rossi complaint from Fulton County where there's missing ballots.
		There's missing ballot images that account for many of the votes in Fulton from 2020.
		That's been referred to the Attorney General's office and then the board has the ability to hire independent counsel if the Attorney General doesn't act.
dave brat ▲ ● ▼		Well, Sally, that sounds great.
		You can explain what that means to all of us lay people, but you look like a great American to me.
		Are you doing all this within the confines of the Constitution, Sally?
unidentified		Absolutely, a hundred percent.
dave brat ▲ ● ▼		Right.
		As I said, we got the greatest people right back.
		Stay with us for the break.
unidentified		Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
dave brat ▲ ● ▼		Dave Brat. Dave Brat back in the war room with the great Stephen K. Bannon.
		And Stephen loves to get out on the road, right?
		I never see him happier when he's out in the middle of with his TV set up on the road with R.A.V.
		and meeting people like Sally.
		And so Sally, pretend like you're talking to Steve Bannon.
		Give him the great news that you have to report and what it means for the War Room posse just to lift our spirits a little bit.
unidentified		So we do need to lift our spirits and we need to share the good news that if you get involved and participate in action, action, action, And as we say with Tea Party Patriots, we're going to secure and win this election.
		And it takes everyone getting involved.
		And to everyone who's involved in a church or synagogue or whatever, you've got to put your faith into action and know that we're here fighting on the front lines to secure the elections.
		We need people to get out there and to win this election by getting out the vote.
		Be encouraged, people.
		We have something good cooking in Georgia, and it's not like Mark Elias says.
		We have the truth on our side, and we have, right now, just to be a little corny, we have the wind beneath our wings with three excellent board members who are in search of the truth and who are saying that we get the tools that we need to do the job.
		Now we need America to do its job.
		We need you to get out and vote.
		We need poll workers.
		We need poll watchers.
		And if you need to know how to get involved, you can contact me.
		I'm with the Cobb County Republican Party.
		You can contact Tea Party Patriots with the Patriot Project.
		There are so many excellent groups that are involved in getting the job done.
		We just need an army to do it.
dave brat ▲ ● ▼		Yep, Sally Grubbs, great news, winning three of the state board of election seats.
		That's a majority in Georgia, thanks to the hard work of Sally and her team and great Americans like them.
		And we have people like this across all the states in this great country.
		And together we can do it.
		But everybody, please reach out and see how you can play your part in the elections to come.
		Sally, thank you for all the work you've done.
		You're just a blessing to have on the show.
		We appreciate everything you said and the way you said it.
		So God bless you.
		Keep up the great work.
unidentified		Thanks for having me.
dave brat ▲ ● ▼		Any time.
		We'll get you back on for sure.
		Steve, I can tell Steve would love you.
		Right now we got another superstar who's written a book called Shepherds for Sale.
		Shepherds for Sale.
		Just that title alone and then I've heard great things about her.
		Megan Basham and the The clips, I forget what they call them, but the folks who have given shoutouts for her book include John MacArthur, Oz Guinness, some of the biggest heavy hitters in the intellectual evangelical community.
		And so, Megan, welcome to the show with us.
		And, you know, there's a sense of urgency in the country right now.
		There's a real contest coming up.
		We don't really do red or blue politics stuff.
		We just do kind of a populist, we think we got two thirds of the country that still believe in this great Judeo-Christian tradition.
		We believe that we should operate within the Constitution, draw within the lines that everybody in this country is made in the image of God.
		And we want to protect those minority rights, but the minorities don't have a right to rule the country, right?
		They're protected.
		We believe in those minority rights, but not minority rule.
		And so please share with us.
		Your book has just gotten rave reviews, especially around here.
		All my friends have read it.
		I'm late to the party, but welcome to the War Room, Megan.
		Why don't you share what your book is about and why you felt called to write it?
unidentified		Well thanks for having me and I'll start by saying it is a newly minted New York Times bestseller as of yesterday.
		So what Sally just teed up there is exactly what this book is about and it is about how left-wing power brokers Including George Soros, eBay founder Pierre Omidyar, Bill Gates, the Clinton Foundation, have been working to co-opt and infiltrate evangelical ministries and churches in order to suppress that faith vote, in order to harness the power of the evangelical constituency for their left-wing agenda.
		So, for those who are Catholic or Jewish, what you need to know is that even if you're not evangelical Protestant, You need to care about what happens with the Evangelical Protestants because they are 30% of the electorate.
		They have rightly been called, even by left-leaning outlets like The Atlantic, America's most powerful voting bloc.
		And they are also the GOP's most important voting base.
		So without them, you lose the firewall to all manner of left-wing policies that would
		be incredibly destructive for our country.
		And so what we have seen these left-wing foundations doing, and this is what I cover in my book,
		is you have seen Soros funding evangelical front groups to push things like open borders
		policies, to push things like anti-human, climate change, cap and trade, carbon emission
		limits, and all manner of policies like that.
		And then also what you're seeing these left-wing funded evangelical groups do, and I should
		say they're evangelical in name, but I do not believe in spirit.
		They are working to suppress the...
		Yes, that all-important evangelical faith vote.
		To give you just one example, just this week, one of the grantees of these left-wing foundations, Russell Moore, who is the editor-in-chief of Christianity Today, Billy Graham's magazine, founded in 1953, they are out promoting an article that celebrates Kamala Harris' sincere Christian faith and why so many faith leaders
		are so excited about her candidacy.
		So you can see very clearly what they're doing.
		They're also funding political Bible studies, that they're getting into churches,
		that groups like the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities are helping them to promote
		on Christian college campuses all over the country, including trusted conservative Christian college campuses
		like Asusa and Biola that teach that Christians should not necessarily vote on the issue of abortion,
		but they do have an obligation to vote to address alleged systemic racism.
		So, clearly, who do they want you to vote for?
		And those initiatives are exclusively funded by hard-left secular foundations like the Rockefeller Foundation, which also funds all manner of abortion initiatives and transgender initiatives.
		They seek to protect The ability to perform transgender procedures on children by the Hewlett Foundation, the second largest funder of Planned Parenthood in the country.
		So this is what my book does.
		It is getting the word out about what they are doing.
dave brat ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, Megan Bash, I see why your book is a bestseller.
		We're going to return with Megan, if you can hang with us a couple minutes after the break, Megan.
		What you said is inspiring.
		And we'll come back and we'll discuss why are these leftists doing it, and who are these leftists, and what is the real philosophy, theology, worldview driving this leftist philosophy?
		Because it's clearly in tension and at war with the Judeo-Christian West.
		And so back with Megan Basham.
