Speaker Time Text
steve bannon
This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
unidentified
Pray for our enemies.
Because we're going medieval on these people.
steve bannon
You're not going to free shot all these networks lying about the people.
unidentified
The people have had a belly full of it.
peter navarro
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.

War Room.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
peter navarro
Peter K. Navarro, I'm talking with the great Andy Biggs from the state of Arizona.
We are giving the overview of the House races and the handicapping Republican back.
So Andy, let's pick up where we left off.
You mentioned monkeys with flamethrowers burning money yet again, McCarthy spending money on Matt Gaetz trying to take him out.
Any other nonsense like that going on and continue your thread on how we're going to win this majority in the House.
andy biggs
Yeah, if you were one of the eight people that voted for McCarthy to be removed, he was recruiting heavily trying to get people to run primaries.
He couldn't get anybody to run against me or Tim Burchett out of Tennessee.
And then he tried to get somebody to run against Eli Crane.
And the guy they chose was a guy named Jack Smith, of all people, you know, the guy who's been persecuting Donald Trump.
So Eli won that 80 to 20.
And they spent money early on and then they realized there was no chance.
And so after burning about a half a million dollars or so, they pulled out of that.
Look, you got Anna Paulina Luna in Florida.
We need her back.
They're coming after her.
They're coming after Scott Perry in Pennsylvania.
When I say they, in this instance, I'm talking about the left and the Democrats.
Yeah.
And those will be a little bit tougher races.
I think Anna is going to be fine.
I think Scott wins as well, but they're coming after him hard.
peter navarro
Are they getting support, Andy, from the main group, the Johnson folks and everything?
Are they coming in behind those or are they getting neglected?
andy biggs
Johnson is coming in for even the HFC dudes.
unidentified
I mean, House Freedom Caucus.
andy biggs
Yeah, House Freedom Caucus, right.
And so what I would tell you, Peter, what I think is really important is we are seeing, as much as we might fight each other on policy and stuff like that, you do see, there's one, this guy, Van Orden.
I mean, I don't know, he's unhinged.
He gets mad at everybody.
Uh, but, but, but other than that, I'm seeing even, even when there was disagreement, uh, we are united because we all know we got to have Donald Trump and you have to have a Republican majority.
And why is that?
Because the Democrats have already said if Donald Trump wins and they can take the house, they will impeach him on day one.
peter navarro
There we go again.
Here we go again.
We've seen that movie before.
We lived in that movie for years when I was in the White House.
All right, Andy, we're going to let you go, because you've got the people's business to do, and you've got to make sure that we hold the great state of Arizona for Donald Trump, for the Senate, and certainly for your race, Weikert.
And what's the other gentleman's name you mentioned?
andy biggs
Yes, it's Ghimani.
Juan Siscamani.
peter navarro
We'll have you back in the war room soon.
You're my brother.
I appreciate all the help you gave.
That's Andy Biggs.
he is a patriot.
Americans are tired and frustrated by a stalling economy, inflation, endless wars, and the relentless assault on our values.

unidentified
All right.
peter navarro
Before we bring Joe Kent up at the bottom of the hour, I want to go back to some of
the clips that we were going through on the Kamala speech.
And we, that speech was, of course, devoid of any policy, but it was really kind of annoying
And...
We go to the Project 2025 one there, MD.
We're getting close there, brother.
Yeah, that's right there.
So let's play the Project 2025 clip right now.
It's clip five, Denver.
kamala harris
And we know what a second Trump term would look like.
It's all laid out in Project 2025, written by his closest advisors, and its sum total is to pull our country back to the past.
peter navarro
So let's be clear about Project 2025.
It's from the Heritage Foundation.
Even though the guy running the Heritage, the new guy running it, has tried to change that zebra stripes, it's impossible to do because the Heritage Foundation is funded by the same kind of globalist corporate types who insure illegals over an open border and offshore To Communist China.
So, since 2016, in the campaign, the Heritage Foundation has been trying to measure the drapes in the West Wing, thinking somehow that they would get hold of the White House and impose their will on President Trump.
He didn't buy it in 2017.
When he came into the White House, he's not buying it now.
I remember a couple weeks ago doing a radio show for a New Magadiel book and it was a Christian station and the guy cited some scripture about how the way you find out what the counterfeit is is by knowing what the truth is.
If you want to know What the Trump agenda is, the Trump 2025 platform, it's New Maga Deal.
We've got a promo code Navarro if you go to newmagadeal.com.
Don Jr.
is offering a nice little discount for it.
And it's a nice contrast to This is Project 2025.
We cannot let Kamala Harris and the Democrats attack President Trump on that crap.
It's just a lie.
It's just another one of their big lies.
Somehow what they're going to do is they're going to take Project 2025 and there's crazy, crazy crap in there.
And they're going to say that Donald Trump supports that kind of crazy crap.
It's just, it's just a lie.
But more Democrat lies.
That's what Democrats do.
That's what happens in political campaigns.
All right.
One more clip here, Denver.
I want to, you know, like the Kamala, like everybody's going to get a pony in Israel and Gaza.
Kamala, clip nine, please.
kamala harris
President Biden and I are working to end this war such that Israel is secure, the hostages are released, the suffering in Gaza ends, and the Palestinian people can realize their right to dignity, security, freedom, and self-determination.
peter navarro
I have a dream there, Kamala, for the Middle East.
I have a pony for everyone.
unidentified
Everyone's going to be fine.
We're going to get the hostages back.
peter navarro
Hamas isn't going to kind of attack Israel anymore.
Gaza's going to be reborn as a golden city.
And I, Kamala, are working with Joey to make it all happen because I know Jack About foreign policy, right?
Who believes that crap, girl?
unidentified
Huh?
peter navarro
Come on!
The reason why there's war there is because these folks have irreconcilable differences that start with Hamas and run straight back to Iran, which you and Joe Biden are funding.
We had Rick Grenell on.
Wednesday.
Bring my chyron up on the Apple podcast, please.
I want you to go back to the episode where Rick Grinnell was on on the Apple podcast.
Play the damn thing.
And he explained that the fruit of that poison tree in the Middle East is Iran, which funds Hamas, which funds Hezbollah, which funds the Houthis in Yemen, who all want to destroy the state of Israel.
Donald Trump, according to Rick Grinnell, you go to that podcast, download it.
Download that.
Listen to that again.
This is the beauty of War Room.
We have such great segments.
You can listen to them again, even if you saw them live.
Download that podcast.
Do it for Steve.
Kamala, when you and that idiot John Kerry and that feckless fool Joe Biden and Anthony Blinken Give money to Iran and think somehow Iran is going to be our friend and then they use all that money to fund Hamas and have Hezbollah attack Israel from Lebanon?
Come on!
You cannot have a secure Israel until every friggin' tunnel, and there's 3,000 miles of them under a 26-square-mile area of Gaza.
It's just riddled with tunnels.
Where Hamas people pop up.
And by the way, this is what's so laughable.
It's like all these constituencies, the LGBTQ community.
Hey, good luck walking through Gaza without getting stoned.
And I'm not talking about marijuana.
These Arab states, they don't respect women's rights, they don't respect gay rights, yet somehow the Democrats, the Democrats, Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, support the state of Iran, those nutjobs there who give all the money to Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis to attack Israel.
Play that Kamala clip again.
That is the stupidest friggin... If America buys that crap... Play that clip for me.
Come on.
kamala harris
President Biden and I are working to end this war such that Israel is secure, the hostages are released, the suffering in Gaza ends, and the Palestinian people can realize their right to dignity, security, freedom, and self-determination.
unidentified
Everybody gets a pony in the Middle East!
peter navarro
Kamala, how friggin' stupid are you if you believe that?
That's why there's war in the Middle East, because you give money to Iran, and you don't understand anything about foreign policy.
That's why there's war in Ukraine because of your foreign policy, inexperienced Kamala.
That's why the communist Chinese are running around the South China Sea.
Because you don't know jack about foreign policy.
That is insulting.
Joe Biden and I are working on the deal that's going to be the deal of the century.
Are you friggin kidding me?
America, if you buy any of that, We're gonna lose this country.
That speech was nothing but a pack of lies devoid of any policy, and the few references that were made were out of touch with any kind of reality.
I'm Peter Kay Navarro in for Stephen K. Bannon.
Gotta check my blood pressure again.
That woman pisses me off!
We'll be back at the bottom of the hour now with the great Joe Kent in the state of Washington.
We gotta grab that seat out there.
Joe Kent up next.
A true warrior.
A true warrior.
unidentified
We will fight till they're all gone.
We rejoice when there's no more.
Let's take down the CCD.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
peter navarro

All right, Denver, hit me with that, yet again, the ignorance, stupidity, and just, I don't know, just outlandishness of the Biden-Harris regime.
unidentified
Donald Trump is already addressing this on the campaign trail.
Let's take a listen to that one together.
donald j trump
The administration padded the numbers with an extra, listen to this one, 818,000 jobs that don't exist.
unidentified
So they said they existed, and they never did exist.
They built them up so that they could say what a wonderful job they're doing.
So, when you hear that, do you potentially think that this new numbers could be a liability for this campaign?
No, when I hear that, first of all, I don't believe it because I've never heard Donald Trump say anything truthful.
It is, though, from the Bureau of Labor.
kamala harris
I don't, I'm not familiar with that.
peter navarro
Oh, Gina, Gina, Gina.
Wow.
I remember Wilbur Ross was the Department of Commerce Secretary.
Now, that man He was a smart dude.
That woman.
She might be smart when she doesn't read her own reports.
All right.
We're going to bring Jim Rickards in now and he's going to be Sherlock Holmes and write the case of the mysterious disappearing jobs.
Jim.
What's going on in the job market right now?
Are they lying to us?
james rickards
What's going on?
They're either lying to us or they're grossly incompetent.
Here's why.
This number that Trump referred to, by the way, he was exactly right.
Gene Raimondo, the Secretary of Commerce, didn't know what the Labor Department was saying and said it was fake news or whatever.
Trump was exactly right.
But this is an annual adjustment.
It came out to about 818,000 jobs.
That the White House said were created, but were never created.
Those jobs disappeared.
But this had been accumulating monthly.
So every month, they come out with an employment report, and they tell you how many jobs were created.
But they also revised the prior months.
So in May, they revised April.
In July, they revised June, and so forth.
And every single revision for a year was downward.
So when you look at that, you say, well, OK, if somewhere up and somewhere down, a little bit of statistical noise, that's random, OK, it evens out.
But when every single month is down, which it was, meaning every month, they said the prior month, we didn't create as many jobs as we told you at the time, even though, you know, that's not in the headlines anymore.
There's a systematic problem there.
Now, whether it's a statistical model problem or deliberately misleading or fading the numbers or whatever, I mean, it's one's worse than the other, but it doesn't matter.
They were wrong about the jobs.
Now, it gets worse than that, Peter, because what I'm talking about is called the employer survey.
The government actually does Which one's higher, Jim?
every month. One is the employer survey, they call companies and say how many people did
you hire? But there's something else called the household survey, where they call individual
homes, you know, on a, you know, on a survey type basis.
And they say, did you get a job or did you lose your job, etc. Now, those two numbers
should be the same. They're not, there's always some difference and that's to be expected,
but they should be the same.
But they've been way off, meaning which one's higher? Well, the employer survey is much
But sometimes as many as close to a million jobs.
The household survey has been showing, in certain months, losses of 600,000 jobs, when the employer survey is showing gains of about 250,000 jobs.
You're getting close to a million.
peter navarro
I want to run a theory by you.
My theory is that those phantom jobs are held by illegal aliens who are less likely to report on surveys.
And if that's true, it shows how all these illegal airlines flooding into our labor market are actually stealing jobs.
Thoughts?
james rickards
Well, first of all, that's a theory, but there's actually a lot of evidence to back that up.
The same surveys I'm talking about show that many of these jobs that they claim are created, again, a lot of them weren't, but the jobs that were created are going to illegal aliens, and they're predominantly part-time jobs.
Now, look, there's dignity in all work, so if you got a part-time job, good for you, but these are people who want full-time jobs.
So, first of all, they're not full-time jobs, they're part-time jobs.
They're overwhelmingly going to illegal aliens.
And yes, they are taking American jobs.
You're absolutely right about that, Peter, and there's evidence to back that up.
But in terms of the gap that I was describing earlier, a long time series shows that when the Household Survey and the Employer Survey diverge, which they have, the Household Survey is usually right.
They have to converge at some point, and what happens is the Employer Survey starts to drop like a rock, and it converges with the Household Survey.
What that means is not only have we been overstating jobs, or has there been a gap?
But that correction is going to be a severe decline in employment and much higher unemployment.
That's apart from the statistical side of it, not to get too deep in the weeds, that's
a sign of a recession.
And there are plenty of other indicators of that.
Again, the Fed, Jay Powell just gave a speech in Jackson Hole, fine, they're going to cut
interest rates in September.
We kind of knew that, but he made it official.
But there's nothing, interest rate cuts are not stimulus.
Everyone's going to call it stimulus.
Bloomberg and CNBC, the Fed's going to stimulate.
Interest rate cuts are not a form of stimulus.
Low interest rates are associated with recessions and depressions.
I talked to Ben Bernanke about this.
Interest rates were rock bottom during the Great Depression.
They were zero.
peter navarro
Jim, I got to push back a little bit on that.
I mean, look, monetary policy, when you lower interest rates, you're going to be lowering credit card debt so people have more money.
You're going to be lowering how mortgaged.
I mean, it's true that sometimes they lower interest rates too slowly and you wind up in recessions and depressions.
But, you know, we can have this debate, and I think it's an interesting one, about whether a recession's coming.
I'm not seeing that yet because the Harris-Biden agenda continues to pump so much friggin' money that we don't have into the economy.
I mean, it's the longest, biggest and longest sustained Keynesian overstimulus in the history Of our country, and I think it's designed basically to ensure the re-election of what they thought was Biden, but now it's Harris.
So I just, I wouldn't be thinking, and certainly there's not going to be any recession before that election day.
Plenty of inflation, but not, I don't, you know, I don't know.
james rickards
Peter, we can debate.
We can debate the stimulus effect of lower interest rates, but we're in total agreement that fiscal policy, meaning deficit spending, more debt, does produce some kind of stimulus, does produce GDP.
Now, it comes at a very high cost, which is slow growth.
peter navarro
I mean, the interesting thing about the fiscal stimulus of Biden-Harris is that so much of it is on low return investments or no return investments, the woke stuff.
So even though you get some stimulus, you're not getting anywhere near what you otherwise would if it was targeted on public investment that actually had a high return.
Thoughts?
james rickards
First of all, that's exactly right.
There's, by the way, a ton of evidence that shows the following.
The Keynesian multiplier, so-called, is real, but it declines as the debt-to-GDP ratio goes up.
So at a 30% debt-to-GDP ratio, which is very comfortable, you can borrow a dollar, spend a dollar, and maybe get $1.25, $1.30 of GDP.
But at 90%, you borrow a dollar, you spend a dollar, you're lucky to get one dollar of GDP.
You're spending a dollar and you barely get a dollar of GDP.
unidentified
We're at 135%.
james rickards
At that level, you borrow a dollar, you spend a dollar, you might only get 60 cents of GDP, meaning that the payoff is not even the dollar that you borrowed.
And meanwhile, the debt to GDP ratio is getting worse.
unidentified
The real result collapses down the road.
peter navarro
I would I would be remiss in not letting you because you had 60 seconds left or so.
I want to hear what your what your product is.
james rickards
Oh, well, thanks, Peter.
We have a we have a landing page.
It's called Meltdown24.com.
It's Meltdown24.com.
If you go there, we have some video assets.
We have an ability to subscribe to our flagship newsletter, Strategic Intelligence.
But what Meltdown24.com focuses on is basically what's going to happen on January 5th, 2025, or sorry, January 6th, 2025, with the Jamie Raskin and others using the insurrection clause To disqualify Trump.
Trump could win more than 270 electoral votes, but then be disqualified by Jamie Raskin and the Democrats.
So we focus on that and a lot else that's going to happen between now, not just between now and November, but between now and next January.
But thank you.
peter navarro
All right, that's Jim Rickerts.
We had a really healthy debate there on fiscal and monetary policy.
You don't really get that on other networks, but Jim and I can do that.
We'll be right back.
Joe Kent, a candidate, Republican candidate that the posse knows well.
We've got to win that seat in Washington state.
We're going to get an update.
on his prospects and stay right here.
unidentified
You are in the war room during the break.
peter navarro
Go sign up for Apple podcast in the war room.
Be right back.
unidentified
Here's your host, Stephen K. Vance.
peter navarro
Hey, Peter K. Navarro in for Stephen K. Bannon.
You are in the War Room.
I know that a lot of you don't have the time to spend to watch all of the show in real time.
I really encourage you to sign up for the podcast on the screen now if you're watching.
You can download War Room now on Apple Podcasts.
If you've got a PDA in your hand, you can scan the code.
And what I'd love you to do is make sure you sign up for the regular downloads that you download and listen to some of the shows.
Particularly when we do some deep dive stuff.
I myself will go back and listen to shows again, even if I hear them live, because what we do here
on The War Room is often a lot more in-depth and in-complex than what you see on a lot of the other networks and
podcasts.
So download War Room now on Apple Podcasts.
All right, without further ado, I want to bring in Joe Kent.
Joe Kent is running in the great state of Washington for a congressional seat that we absolutely
need this time around, that we never should have lost last The only reason why we lost it, it's not because Joe wasn't a great candidate.
It was because that SOB, Kevin McCarthy, raised money from Republicans and wound up spending it against Republicans.
Kevin, stop doing that.
You're still doing that.
You went after Gates and burned money like a monkey burning it with a flamethrower.
Joe, give us a read on how the race is looking this time around and whether you're getting enough support from Washington to take that seat to build the Johnson majority.
joe kent
Absolutely.
unidentified
Great to be with you.
joe kent
It's great to see you out and free.
But the race is going really well.
I'm in a much better position at this time right now than I was in 2022.
At this time in 2022, I was flat broke.
I spent a lot of money getting out of the primary by the time I emerged as the Republican nominee.
My campaign was in debt and we didn't get any help really from Washington, D.C.
Completely different this time around.
We had a really unified Republican Party going through the primary and then after the primary.
My one primary opponent immediately endorsed me after the first ballot drop when I was ahead.
So the party is very, very unified.
Speaker Johnson just came out to the district and lended his personal support.
He said that he'd be behind us 100%.
So far, NRCC has been great.
Richard Hudson came out here as well.
So the Washington, D.C., NRCC, and then Speaker team, they are dedicated to flipping this seat.
This is the number one target for us to flip.
I'm up against a radical Democrat who is attempting to do everything that she can right now to pretend that she is something different.
But we're going to hold her accountable for her voting record.
This is a luxury I didn't have in 2022.
My opponent was not an incumbent.
She could say whatever she wanted to say.
She spoke very much like a moderate, but since she's been in Washington D.C., she's been voting with the radical left.
So now that we have the resources from the War Room Posse and then also from Washington D.C.
and from the state here and the district, we're going to be able to expose just how radical she is on inflation, on the border crime, protection of our kids, endless wars.
The list goes on because she's voting in lockstep with Kamala Harris or whoever's running the Democrat side right now.
So overall, things are going really well.
It's going to be a knife fight.
I don't take my opponent or the Harris-Biden machine for granted at all.
So we're still going to need everyone's support, but we're pushing hard to November.
peter navarro
Will they outspend you?
joe kent
Most certainly.
I got outspent six to one last time, but I still only lost by less than a percentage point.
So right now, we're sitting close to around $2 million.
We're going to get some outside support.
The Democrats right now, my opponent is sitting on $7 million, and she's going to get support from Hakeem Jeffries.
Because look, the Democrats, I believe that they think that Trump may win this thing, and their goal is to hold the House so that they can not sort We need to get Trump in there but we've got to give him a House of Representatives that's actually going to support the America First agenda.
peter navarro
Tell me a little bit about your district.
The state of Washington is deep blue.
Your district is not.
Where is it?
And is it the inflation economy or the border or something else that you think are the most salient issues in the district, sir?
joe kent
So Southwest Washington, we're still a common-sense district.
I don't believe that we're purple.
Actually, as a matter of fact, I think most Americans, when we actually talk about the issues, which is something that we can do and our Democratic opponents can't do, most people agree with us.
So we're Southwest Washington, just across the Columbia River from Portland, but we go all the way out to the Pacific Ocean, a little bit in the Columbia River Gorge, And then the center of our district is really timber country, USA.
So a lot of the government over-regulation, offshoring of our timber industry, that has really crushed this district here.
The number one issue, I would say it's tied.
The inflation is hurting working families here.
We have outrageous taxes on the Washington State side with our gas tax, but then also the Biden-Harris economy, the inflation that my Democrat opponent has voted for with D.C.' 's out-of-control spending.
That is hurting working families.
But because of the lack of law and order that we have in Washington State and really in general on the West Coast, the fentanyl crisis is literally killing our loved ones and our neighbors.
It is an absolute crisis here in the district.
My opponent voted for the wide open southern border.
She came back to the district and said that, well, it really doesn't matter.
No one stays awake at night worrying about the southern border as people are dying from fentanyl overdoses here in the district.
So those are probably the two biggest issues.
But another issue that I think is really, really important is just how radical the Democrats have gotten in our schools.
My Democrat opponent, Marie Perez, voted to put biological men into our daughters' dressing rooms and to compete against them on the athletics field.
She won't come back to the district and talk about this.
This is what she does.
She speaks like a moderate, but then she votes like a radical.
And that is a hot-button issue here with, I think, most common-sense Americans, but really here in the district too, because in Washington State, our schools have really pushed this transgender ideology.
There's laws in place in Washington that allows teenagers, minors, to cut their parents out of the decision-making process when it comes to making a decision about taking puberty blockers or getting a gender-altering surgery.
So that's a very, very big issue here as well.
But really, I would say it's the economy, it's crime.
People are very, very concerned about those things.
And again, the Democrats can't talk about these issues because their policies have gotten us to this point.
peter navarro
Are you near a major city?
I mean, it's a weird, I know there's some congressional districts where the media markets, you wind up, if you buy radio or TV ads, you're basically wasting money because you're only catching a little part of the district.
I mean, how do you go about resolving that kind of tactical issue when you're spending your money?
joe kent
Yeah, so I'm in a very expensive media market, actually.
Portland, Oregon is the majority of the media market.
So we're just across the river from Portland.
Vancouver is the biggest city that we have in the district, but it is the Portland media market.
Our district actually goes pretty far up north, just to the southern tip of Thurston County, south of Olympia.
And so actually the northern part of our district is in the Seattle media market.
So both of which are very very expensive.
That's why this race is so expensive.
Now luckily the NRCC has reserved a good deal of airtime in the district as well.
But we're really going to need help from from people out there in the posse and throughout the district and the country.
So that we can buy enough ads to be able to compete against what the Democrats are going to carpet bomb the district with in terms of getting our message out.
And for us, getting our message out is exposing how radical my opponent is and really just highlighting how common sense our solutions are.
peter navarro
And is it in radio or TV that you spend most of your money on?
joe kent
It's a mix of both, you know.
TV is still very, very potent.
Buying on the major networks is still very expensive, getting those key primetime slots.
But then radio is big as well.
We've got a big rural community, so FM and AM radio really reaches a good deal of our rural community as well.
Not as expensive.
As TV, but then you've got the digital fight as well.
And honestly, the digital fight is very challenging because you know, sometimes you invest a good deal and you don't see your ads as much on platforms like YouTube and the other more mainstream social media networks.
peter navarro
They do suppress you?
They do suppress?
You're still seeing that?
joe kent
Most certainly, yeah.
I think it's fairly difficult to track.
I mean, we'll put money into that and then, you know, your ads just don't pop up as much on Facebook or YouTube.
But it costs money to be able to get those ads in the right areas where we need people to see them when they go on YouTube or they go on Facebook.
So, unfortunately, campaigns come down to money and it's going to cost us a lot to get through this one.
peter navarro
Will your opponent debate you?
Do you have any debate schedule?
joe kent
We actually have one scheduled right now, October 7th.
It's going to be on one of the local networks here.
So it's not a live audience, but it's going to be broadcast live on the COIN network.
And we'll put that all out on our social media and all that so people can watch it.
But it'll be a moderator, my opponent and myself, and that'll be broadcast live.
peter navarro
So make a note of this, Denver and Cameron.
Maybe let's circle that date.
Maybe we can get a Ben Burquam out there and a camera crew and all that stuff like that.
Because I think that would be fascinating.
Because what you're doing, Joe, is what we're facing across the country.
You've got a liberal, radical Democrat trying to run as a moderate.
And spending two or three times as much money as you trying to convey that message.
And that's pretty much kind of the playbook right now.
And it's frightening that they can raise so much money, so much more money than Republicans.
And do you know where that money comes from?
Why do they have such a big, big money advantage every cycle?
joe kent
So my opponent is one of the so-called blue dogs, but this isn't the blue dogs of yesteryear.
I'd encourage people to go to mariewatch.com is my website.
And on there, we have a link to her FEC report for this pack that supports her, the blue dog bark pack.
And these guys are taking money from the military industrial complex.
They're taking money from big pharma, from big tech, from big food, the sugar lobby, basically every vested corporate interest in America.
is dumping money into these guys, and these guys are now voting in lockstep with the military industrial complex, pharma, the tech industry, you name it.
The corporate interests that are destroying the country that you guys talk about all the time here on The War Room.
That's their backers.
They've also got, you know, of course, the radical folks that are pushing this transgender ideology.
My opponent's taking money from one of the folks that funds the transgender clinics.
I mean, the list goes on.
The Act Blue, obviously, I think James O'Keefe has done a really good job with documenting just how shady that is.
And so the Act Blue is always able to dump money of very, very suspicious origins into Democrats' re-election coffers.
So again, we're up against it.
Actually, I would say the biggest threat is the in-kind donations that these Democrats, like my opponent, get from mainstream media and local media that unfortunately a lot of people still think are neutral arbiters when they're just really carrying water for the radical left and just these horrible corporate interests.
peter navarro
And what you're talking about there with the media is just all the favorable coverage they get, and the stuff that you put out in press releases, and they won't print.
And Denver and Cameron, again, make a note of this.
Let's do a deep dive, get O'Keefe on later on, because, again, when you listen to guys like Joe Kennedy here, this is like from the front lines, giving us a playbook on how they're going to try to beat us.
I can't tell you.
I just wish you the very best of luck.
Tell people now how they can send a few bucks to you or maybe volunteer digitally or whatever.
joe kent
Yeah, please go to jokentforcongress.com.
That's the touchpoint for all donations.
There's got links there to my social media, so anything the posse can donate, especially if you can make a reoccurring donation between now and the end of the campaign, that's really going to help us.
If you live anywhere near the 3rd District or you know people in the 3rd District, send them mariewatch.com.
That's got my opponent's voting record documented in detail.
There's a link there on the website for that as well, but that's how we're just going to expose how radical she is.
peter navarro
Joe, it's great to be with you.
And one of the things that did get through the mail at prison was your book.
And it was very moving about your wife, sir.
And God bless you.
We are behind you.
Let's win this one for the Gipper, Trump, and you.
unidentified
you.
peter navarro
We'll be right back.
unidentified
Here's your host, Stephen K. Babb.
peter navarro
Hey, Peter K. Navarro in for the grand finale.
Mike Lindell is going to be up shortly.
What I want to do now is Encourage you to sign up for Apple podcasts.
There's a little Chiron's gonna go up on the show here It's a little scan thing and QR code that you can get Here's the thing like for example today's show.
I thought what we talked about with Andy Biggs was absolutely priceless and that would be well worth listening to again or If you missed that and tuned in late It really was a great overview of where things are at in terms of the House races and also where things are at in Arizona and this stuff we just did with Joe Kent and this is why the War Room
It's such a powerful engine of information.
What we talked about with Joe, we show how the Democrats playbook is to outspend their opponents, drawing money from big pharma and big corporations who want to send our jobs offshore and open our borders.
And when you when you see that up close and personal through the lens, Of Joe Kent, that's really powerful.
When you listen again to that discussion we had about the media markets, that's that's like a subtle stuff you wouldn't hear on a lot of places.
But when you're in a congressional district that spans all sorts of stuff like that and you're trying to reach people, you got to spend money in the Portland market and the Seattle market to get to rural.
I mean, it's just so go.
Go sign up for the Apple podcast, download it every day, listen to some of these episodes.
You can be selective about it, but listen to the ones or re-listen to the ones you want to hear again.
And that'll be a great way for us to help win this election in November.
Information's power.
And to that end, power is Mike Lindell.
I'm still mad at Mike.
For Wednesday, when he teased me where he was going to come on, shaving his mustache, and he came on the phone.
But right now, let's take a look at Mike Glendale without his mustache.
And I want to get, Mike, you want to hear what happened at the front lines of the DNC.
See, I recognize you.
I can recognize you without your mustache.
What are these Democrats so dumb?
They don't know what the MyPillow guy, they think you're a mustache.
mike lindell
Right on, right on.
Well, I went in there.
It was, I got in there on Wednesday, and I had a hat on and glasses, and I got all the way inside the building, and I was in there for quite a while, and I was even doing the War Room podcast, and then they heard my voice, and then it was all over.
I was attacked by the media.
They had these podcasts or this Harry Sassoon or whatever his name is, but the mission was accomplished.
What I went in for, Was to get all the media attention to actually tell them about yesterday, which was the big day for me of the whole week.
We had a Trump hotel here.
We had a studio set up upstairs and we had over, I believe it was upwards of 100 Democrats that came in.
And from all over Chicago, and they came in and they had voted for Biden.
And we had them on film live stream all day yesterday, why they are switching to Donald Trump.
It was so powerful.
And we're going to take that footage now.
We're going to put it out there in clips all over the country.
And we're going to continue.
I think we're going to do this in a lot of different cities because the people need to hear it from You know, the ones that are coming out of being brainwashed by this party, and what came out of their mouths was so powerful.
One of the biggest things, everybody, was the illegals that are taking their jobs and their resources and their, you know, from treatment centers to healthcare to their jobs, and they were upset.
You'll have to check that out, everybody, at FrankSpeech.com.
We're going to have it all reposted this afternoon.
It was very powerful.
