During today's hearing in a federal courtroom here in Washington on the federal subversion case against Donald Trump, CNN's senior crime and justice reporter Caitlin Paulatz was inside the courtroom throughout this entire process this morning. | |
| Give us a little flavor of what was going on inside. | ||
| We saw your reporting and we were putting it on the left part of our screen during the course of this hearing. | ||
| Yeah, well, there were a couple things to note here. | ||
| The first is that moment where Judge Tanya Chutkin jumped in. | ||
| There was a spicy banter going on between her and Donald Trump's attorney, John Loro, about how long it should take for everyone to get together all of the evidence. | ||
| The briefing, the legal arguments to talk about presidential immunity. | ||
| Trump's team obviously wanted to slow things down. | ||
| They were going back and forth very quickly in the courtroom, so much so that the court reporter had to say, hold on, you're talking over one another, judge and defense attorney. | ||
| And then John Laurel said, you know, there's a very sensitive time in our nation's history. | ||
| And that's when you could see he lost the judge. | ||
| Judge Tanya Chuckins sat back in her chair. | ||
| She sighed and then she put a finger up, stopped the banter, took a pause and said, let's discuss | ||
| what the sensitive time is here. | ||
| The election is not relevant to the timeline. | ||
| And that just put a different flavor across the courtroom of the discussions about timing | ||
| here. | ||
| And she pulled it back to say, we're going to talk about what's actually needed, what | ||
| I can do here and how to move this forward. | ||
| She didn't put a trial date on the calendar, and she didn't put a timeline down yet. | ||
| She does say she is going to set one up for later today, hopefully, if she can put that out. | ||
| But what the subtext here, she didn't want that. | ||
| That this is not about the presidential election, Donald Trump running for presidency, | ||
| and whether or not the Justice Department is able to put forward evidence before November. | ||
| The other thing I wanna point out here, Wolf, is there was a lightness to this proceeding. | ||
| Nobody has been in this courtroom before Judge Chuckin since last October, and even Jack Smith, | ||
| we haven't seen him in a courtroom for some time. | ||
| He was there today. | ||
| His beard is a lot longer than the last time I remember seeing him. | ||
| Judge Chutkin, her hair, it's lighter. | ||
| And even at the beginning of this proceeding, she said, everybody looks rested. | ||
| And there was laughter across the courtroom. | ||
| Well, she did underscore what we all know about Judge Chutkin. | ||
| She is tough. | ||
| She is very, very smart. | ||
| And she does not want any really unserious business to emerge during the court of this, during the course of this trial. | ||
| This is the primal scream of a dying regime. | ||
|

|
Pray for our enemies. | |
| Because we're going medieval on these people. | ||
| 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. | |
| And where do people like that go to share the big lie? | ||
|

|
MAGA Media. | |
| I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. | ||

Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? | |
| If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. | ||

War Room, here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | |
| Welcome to The War Room. | ||
| It's Thursday, September 5th in the year of our Lord 2024. | ||
| And just when you thought you couldn't despise our elites, our intellectual betters, the backing behind all of this lawfare against President Trump. | ||
| Anymore! | ||
| They have to go on there on CNN. | ||
| And say there was a lightness, there was a laughter to the hearing today. | ||
| Something about Jack Smith having a longer beard, Tonya Shutkin having lighter hair. | ||
| I know the Hunger Games critique is a little played out, but I do think it's quite applicable in this scenario, not just because they like to treat American citizens, the people who are footing the bill for this sham indictment, one of many. | ||
| Much like the Hunger Games elites do in that movie. | ||
| These people are absolutely crazy and they want to go on CNN and laugh about it and then rub it in your face. | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| Someone who I also think doesn't quite think so in terms of the fact that they're there to any of these indictments is, of course, Mike Davis, who joins us now. | ||
| Now, Mike, I wanted to have you on to sort of walk us through the meaning of today's hearing, where we stand, not just in the DC election interference case, but just lawfare kind of across the It's very clear after this hearing today that D.C. | ||
| Obama judge Tanya Shutkin is clearly engaged in this election interference against President Trump. | ||
| It's almost as if she didn't read the Supreme Court's monumental presidential immunity decision Back in June, or she didn't read the Fisher decision. | ||
| Back in June, it's like this. | ||
| Biden, Kamala special counsel, Jack Smith, and the partisans on Jack Smith's team, along with the partisan in the robe on the bench, Tanya Shukin, are just going to move full steam ahead with this case. | ||
| And their goal is clear. | ||
| They can clearly wait until after the presidential election to do this. | ||
| They waited nearly three years to bring this case, but all of a sudden they want to go | ||
| full steam ahead between now and November 5th when we have election season. | ||
| We have early voting starting in like a week. | ||
| And so they want to, they are so desperate. | ||
| They tried to bankrupt Trump. | ||
| They tried to throw him in prison for life. | ||
| They tried to throw him off the ballot. | ||
| The Supreme Court stopped him. | ||
| So now the Biden-Kamala regime wants to destroy the Supreme Court that got in their way with court packing, impeachment, term limits, ethics claims, ethics regimes. | ||
| They want to underfund Trump's Secret Service detail that denied several requests, almost got Trump's head blown off. | ||
| That all failed. | ||
| And so now what do they want to do? | ||
| They want to do these last, desperate attempts to interfere in the election. | ||
| They want to move forward in New York on September 18th with this corrupt Democrat, Manhattan Judge Juan Marchand, who illegally donated to Biden and Kamala, and whose daughter, Laura Marchand, is raising millions of dollars off of this unprecedented, bogus case up in New York. | ||
| Is Marchand going to put the former and likely future president of the United States in Rikers Island on September 18th. Is this corrupt Obama | ||
| or this corrupt Biden donor going to do this despite the fact that the Supreme Court | ||
| ruled that you can't take evidence that's subject to presidential immunity and use it like | ||
| they did in New York? There are many reversible errors in that case. The clear, most pressing | ||
| one now is they used evidence of President Trump's discussions with his White House Deputy | ||
| Chief of Staff for Communications, Hope Hicks, and Madeline, his Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations. | ||
| That's clearly subject to presidential immunity. | ||
| You clearly cannot use that evidence in any criminal case or any matter. | ||
| The Supreme Court clearly ruled that way in June. | ||
| They used this evidence. | ||
| The Soros-funded Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg and the Biden-Kamala political operative Matthew Colangelo used this evidence to get the grand jury indictment in New York. | ||
| They also used this evidence at trial. | ||
| There must be a mistrial declared because they used evidence the Supreme Court clearly ruled That they can't, but I think they're just going to ignore this up in New York and just move forward, just like Jack Smith and Tanya Shukin in D.C. | ||
| are just going to ignore the presidential immunity decision to just move forward like nothing happened. | ||
| This is all about election interference because they fear American voters on November 5th, and they should, because so long as Trump supporters vote as early as possible, Trump is going to beat Kamala like a drum on November 5th. | ||
| It's a perversion of justice that finds its basis in nonsense. | ||
| And I'm not quoting you, Mike Davis. | ||
| I'm not quoting myself. | ||
| The Chief of Public Affairs, the Department of Justice was caught on camera saying that | ||
| in sort of a gotcha Project Veritas style interview. | ||
| They of course walked back those claims, but they're saying the quiet part out loud. | ||
| But I wanna link this to another sort of developing lawfare story. | ||
| On the other side of the coin today, of course, Hunter Biden pleading guilty, sort of last | ||
| minute, to some tax charges. | ||
| Denver, if we can play that MSNBC clip. | ||
| Mike, I'd love to kind of get your thoughts. | ||
| Why? | ||
| But let's watch this clip first. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It is a dramatic course of events here and I think a indication that the defense did | |
| not feel that they wanted to go through what was expected to be a very lengthy, a very | ||
| embarrassing and a very expensive trial. | ||
| He was facing nine different counts, three felonies, six misdemeanors for failing to pay taxes, for submitting a false or fraudulent tax form. | ||
| And it was expected to kind of lay out a lot of his most embarrassing details about drugs, purchases of escorts, other sex club memberships, members of his family or former family were expected to testify. | ||
| And so I think that this plea is an indication that at the very last moment there was a decision that going to trial was just not And that a plea and possible jail time was a better fit. | ||
| Andrea? | ||
| Sarah, thank you so much. | ||
| Mike Memoli. | ||
| This, of course, spares the Biden family more salacious details coming out of the trial. | ||
| I think you're in Wisconsin, where the president is going to be heading shortly. | ||
| And, you know, he's got events there today, obviously, on the campaign trail as a surrogate today. | ||
| But the Biden family, even though he's no longer the candidate, this was going to be a big campaign issue. | ||
| You know that. | ||
| Salacious details. | ||
| I think even that's a bit of a euphemistic spin. | ||
| Mike Davis, your thoughts on why Hunter Biden decided to plead guilty? | ||
| Well, he's trying to enter an Alford plea, and an Alford plea is where you're maintaining your innocence, but you're saying that there's evidence where a jury would find you guilty and a judge would convict you. | ||
| It's interesting. | ||
| This has been a scam of a case. | ||
| Since the beginning, you had David Weiss, this Delaware U.S. | ||
| attorney who was hand-selected by both Democrat home state senators, has been protecting the Bidens for years and years and years. | ||
| He let the statute of limitations expire on several of these charges, including foreign corruption charges that would tie Hunter Biden To the over $20 million that came into what seems like every Biden family member except for the six-year-old granddaughter who they didn't claim. | ||
| So this David Weiss has been protecting Joe Biden all along. | ||
| Joe Biden is clearly involved with this corruption. | ||
| They have money going from China into Joe Biden's bank account. | ||
| It seems pretty clear to me. | ||
| You have a president of the United States who was corrupt Who is compromised. | ||
| And that affects our national security greatly and gravely. | ||
| And they're going to let Hunter Biden make these offered pleas to these tax charges. | ||
| And you know damn well he's not going to spend a day in prison because Joe Biden, the president, is either going to pardon Hunter Biden or at least commute his sentence before he leaves office. | ||
| What do you think is the feasibility? | ||
| I know Politico yesterday they had a big piece talking about how it seems likely that Biden could potentially pardon Hunter. | ||
| Do you think that that's something that they'll actually pursue? | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Joe Biden will absolutely either pardon or commute the sentence for Hunter Biden before he leaves office. | ||
| There's no question. | ||
| In my mind on that, he's done everything he can to protect his son, Hunter, and it's not because he's a loving father. | ||
| It's because Hunter is the bag man for the Biden crime family. | ||
| There has been, again, House Oversight Chairman James Comer has the bank records where over $20 million in corrupt foreign payments has gone to all these Bidens, all their bank accounts. | ||
| Except for the six-year-old granddaughter, of course, including Joe Biden himself. | ||
| Money from China into Joe Biden's bank account, and that is absolute corruption. | ||
| And the Justice Department wants to put out this nonsense about Russia's collusion 3.0 for the third presidential election in a row, while there is just overwhelming evidence of tens of millions of dollars in foreign corruption going to the Bidens. | ||
| Well, and the irony in all that, it was the Transition Integrity Project that actually accused the Trump administration that in 2020 of wanting to go on a pardoning spree of all of his family members. | ||
| So we know they always deal in projection, but it'll be funny if that nightmare comes to fruition just on the other side of the aisle, though I wouldn't be surprised. | ||
| Mike Davis, if people want to follow you, stay up to date with everything you guys are doing over at the Article 3 Project, where can they go to do all that? | ||
| Thank you, Natalie. | ||
| It's article3project.org. | ||

| Not an agent of Russian disinformation. | ||
| I was about to say, you're our version of Mark Elias. | ||
| I know he used to lobby the Harris campaign to take foreign cash, but I guess he had a change of heart there, like the Democratic Party has had, I guess, when it comes to foreign interference, right? | ||
| Mike Davis, thank you so much for joining us. | ||
| We'll have you back on soon, I'm sure. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Of course. | ||

The same thing the Democrats have been doing since President Trump won in November of 2016. | |
| It's a nullification project, trying to delegitimize him and nullify his presidency. | ||
| The Russia thing's a hoax. | ||
| It was proven in the Mueller investigation. | ||
| No collusion. | ||
| No Russian involvement. | ||
| Even Clapper said, I think it was 100,000 Facebook ads. | ||
| This thing's a non-event. | ||
| This is just the Democrats over and over again trying to nullify the 2016 election. | ||
| Today the Justice Department revealed what it alleges are two new misinformation campaigns run by the Russian government with the goal of influencing the 2024 presidential election. | ||
| One of those campaigns allegedly used social media to push elaborately faked dupes of websites like the Washington Post and Fox News to trick Western readers and disguise Russian misinformation. | ||
| The other campaign allegedly laundered nearly $10 million into the United States to pay unwitting American political influencers to make nearly 2,000 videos. | ||
| Apparently, the influencers believed they were making videos for an American company based in Tennessee, but the client actually paying for all of this was allegedly the Russian state-run media company RT. | ||
| Luckily for us, the Kremlin was good enough to write down its goal here in actual black and white. | ||
| An internal planning document created by the Kremlin states that as a goal of the campaign is securing Russia's preferred outcome in the election. | ||
| I wonder what that outcome could be. | ||
| Joining me now is Congressman Jim Himes from Connecticut, who serves as the ranking member on the House Intelligence Committee. | ||
| Representative Himes, thank you for being with me tonight. | ||
| This is sort of an extraordinary story. | ||
| One of the things that really stuck out to me is that the conservative influencers that RT wanted to hire, they were all conservatives. | ||
| Benny Johnson, Tim Pool, David Rubin, Matt Christensen, Tyler Hansen, and Lauren Southern. | ||
| What conclusions are you drawing here between the desire of Russians to recruit influencers and the fact that they were all conservatives? | ||
| Well, I'm not at all surprised for two reasons. | ||
| Number one, and I don't know if conservative is the right word, right? | ||
| When you say conservative, I think, you know, Liz Cheney and Ronald Reagan, who were pretty clear on Russia. | ||
| This is a much more radical thing. | ||
| I would call it MAGA, right? | ||
| MAGA, following, of course, their cult leaders. | ||
| instructions, an example, love Vladimir Putin. He's an unconstrained dictator. | ||
| He's not checked in any way. He's not balanced in any way. | ||
| And they just love that, the way Donald Trump did when he was president. So | ||
| that's point one. And then point two, the other reason I'm not surprised is | ||
| because, you know, if you look at the left and the right today, you can look at the | ||
| left and say, gosh, I don't agree with their position on Gaza. | ||
| I don't agree with their position on the Green New Deal. | ||
| I don't agree with their position on single-payer health care, if that's the way you think. | ||
| But those are policy positions. | ||
| On the far right, of course, you have January 6th, the attack on the Capitol. | ||
| You have election denialism. | ||
| You have all of the things that the Russians hope to grow in our society, which is chaos. | ||
| Page 3 of the indictment, you will see that the Objective is there in black and white. | ||
| Of course, it's to re-elect Donald Trump, but chaos is in the service of Vladimir Putin telling the world that democracy simply doesn't work. | ||
| Well, luckily, Alex Wagner, you don't have to guess about who Putin is endorsing because he just came out today and said that he's actually backing Kamala Harris. | ||
| I guess he's the latest member of White Dudes for Harris. | ||
| I don't know if they'll accept the endorsement. | ||
| But nonetheless, you don't have to wonder. | ||
| But frankly, this story, now I know there's been a lot of headlines about it. | ||
| But it's as clear as day. | ||
| All the media does is peddle in projection. | ||
| Now, I, you guys know my background, is in reporting on Chinese Communist Party infiltration. | ||
| I want to bring up this story for you. | ||
| Now, sure, it's an anecdote, it's a case study, but it's reflective of the broader media ecosystem that we inhabit, where the irony is so not lost on Alex Wagner, the nerve that in the same breath that they have to say that Russia is apparently dictating narratives and talking points for all conservative influencers on the Internet. | ||
| They then get ready to toss to their commercial break, where every multinational corporation, including big pharma, remnants of the military-industrial complex, things that really hate the United States and are actual, I would say, threats to the West more so than Russia could ever be in terms of GDP and actual finances at stake. | ||
| They have to toss to commercial break to let those financial incentives dictate the type of coverage that they put on air. | ||
| How many times did we hear safe and effective, safe and effective? | ||
| You think if Pfizer wasn't advertising on MSNBC, they wouldn't be peddling those talking points? | ||
| It's clear as day a case of projection, but I want to bring to your attention the story Someone you may know, he co-founded Vox. | ||
| He's a writer for The Atlantic. | ||
| He used to work, and this is relevant to the story, at the Center for American Progress, which was none other than John Podesta's DC-based swampy think tank that basically staffed the entire Obama administration. | ||
| Now, what's so interesting about Matthew Iglesias, you've probably heard of him if you've ever been on Twitter, He felt the need to rage tweet last night, saying that the GOP shows like this, Republicans in general, that we've been mainlining Russian propaganda for a while now, and it's not great. | ||
| Now, I would agree, peddling propaganda on behalf of a foreign entity isn't something that's really great, but Matthew Iglesias would actually know what it's like to peddle propaganda on behalf of a foreign asset, a foreign agent, in this case, a country that's actually a foreign existential threat to the United States. | ||
| That is, the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| See, back in 2010, as I reported years ago, Matthew Iglesias actually took a trip to China | ||
| sponsored by the China United States Exchange Foundation, one of the foremost in leading | ||
| Chinese Communist Party funded propaganda and foreign influence groups that operates | ||
| under what's called China's United Front Work Department, an actually state-backed propaganda | ||
| effort that works to co-opt and neutralize sources of potential opposition to the Chinese | ||
| Communist Party. | ||
| That's a direct quote from what the FBI identifies this effort as. | ||
| The Trump administration stepped in and shut down a lot of these influence operations. | ||
| But Matthew Iglesias accepted a free trip to China from this group in exchange for, | ||
| quote, favorable coverage and to, quote, disseminate positive messages about the Chinese Communist | ||
| Those are quotes from the Foreign Agent Registration Act filing that the Obama-linked lobbying firm that was representing this Chinese influence group submitted. | ||
| Matthew Iglesias, he never registered with FARA. | ||
| Actually, none of the identities of any of these journalists who've been taking trips from these Chinese influence groups for years, I'm talking the Washington Post, New York Times, CNN, MSNBC, the Harvard Business Review, none of their identities were ever revealed. | ||
| So I had to go and scour the internet for deleted webpages and get my hand on the actual primary source documents to identify journalists who took these trips. | ||
| Including, but not limited to, the husband of former Deputy Secretary of State in the Biden regime, Wendy Sherman, and she also took separate trips, too, to China from this very same group. | ||
| Oh yeah, the same lady who oversaw the debacle in Afghanistan. | ||
| But here's the best part about the story of Matthew Iglesias, the people who have the nerve to sit back and say that we're agents of Russian disinformation because we don't want to continue to shell out taxpayer dollars to the Ukraine war. | ||
| You wanna read this tweet? | ||
| Now, Matthew deleted that tweet. | ||
| I'm sure nothing to hide there. | ||
| Luckily, I saved it, as we always say. | ||
| We have the receipts here in the war room. | ||
| propaganda space. I kept wanting to give the party flunkies notes on how to craft better arguments when I went on a | ||
| tour of China. | ||
| Now Matthew deleted that tweet. I'm sure nothing to hide there. Luckily, I saved it as we always say | ||
| we have the receipts here in the war room. But Matthew Iglesias, I think you should probably sit this one out if you want to | ||
| lecture anyone on peddling foreign disinformation and foreign propaganda. | ||
| And by the way, just in general, to the mainstream media, to MSNBC, you guys wasted tens of millions of taxpayer dollars. | ||
| So much manpower to corroborate this Russia collusion hoax. | ||
| You guys have been doing it since 2016. | ||
| The best piece of evidence that you could come up with is that All said and done, $10 million was allegedly distributed to some influencers, not even actual cable TV networks. | ||
| Some influencers who really are limited, I would argue, to the right-wing kind of media sphere. | ||
| That's the best you guys could give to produce this narrative that Russia is coming for democracy, for the West, that we're under attack? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| For the fact that you guys put way over $10 million into trying to produce evidence to corroborate that story, I don't really know if there's a lot of bite to your allegations, I would humbly say. | ||
| And maybe you shouldn't have Matthew Iglesias on the front line peddling the narrative that foreign interference in our media isn't good when he is quite literally on the take of the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| Now, Rich Barris, who joins us now, who's very well-versed in all things polling, maybe I'm being a little conspiratorial, but I think it's very clear Kamala's taking a nosedive in the polls, so they're re-upping the 2016 playbook. | ||
| Can you give us the numbers to either sort of back that up, or what is your take on this whole Russia collusion hoax 2.0? | ||
| Well, thanks for having me, Natalie. | ||
| Did you hear that guy? | ||
| He's like, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. | ||
| You can have somebody on TV, at least have them speak a coherent sentence. | ||
| I don't think he forgot what he was going to say, so he just started rambling on. | ||
| Yeah, I agree. | ||
| I think this is a resurrection of the Russia hoax because this is what they do. | ||
| And this is going to put our country over the edge one day. | ||
| They have to stop doing this. | ||
| They are incapable of introspection or any kind of self-reflection about why maybe do, you know, Voters who voted for Obama twice, you know, absolutely resent us. | ||
| Why is Ohio, you know, a 10 plus at this point, you know, Trump state? | ||
| Why is Iowa, which Obama won twice, George Bush barely won? | ||
| You know, why is that now, you know, a 10 plus north of 15 and more point state? | ||
| And why are we down? | ||
| Why are we falling in Michigan and Pennsylvania? | ||
| You know, just this week, despite all the other media polls, we all know in this industry that there are like native pollsters. | ||
| I know Florida and North Carolina very well. | ||
| I live there. | ||
| I poll them. | ||
| I have polled them for years. | ||
| Epic MRA, Mitchell Research, you know, Glenn Garreff, they live in Michigan. | ||
| They know Michigan. | ||
| And they have Trump up. | ||
| Her own internal polling has Trump up in Michigan, if we could just drop the charade. | ||
| So, you know, I mean, this is what they do. | ||
| They see the handwriting. | ||
| So they're pulling this again and they're trying to remind the voter, oh, that's right. | ||
| This is what we didn't like. | ||
| You know, the Russia stuff, the constant rocking of the boat. | ||
| They're the ones who do it. | ||
| It's insane. | ||
| It's insane, but it's dangerous. | ||
| In some ways, I think we're right that it's a tacit admission that they think Trump is going to win because the whole reason they introduced the Russia collusion playbook, it wasn't so much to persuade voters come election day. | ||
| It was post-election. | ||
| It was post-Trump victory, right? | ||
| They used it to lay the predicate that he was some foreign agent. | ||
| Rich, I want to hold you through the break because I want to drill down. | ||
| I know you have some new numbers, some new polling, especially when it comes to the popular vote. | ||
| Say now that Iran and China are also going to try to start colluding on behalf of Trump because the numbers look just that damn good for President Trump. | ||
| In the meantime, you guys can go to birchgold.com slash Bannon or text Bannon to 989898 to speak with a representative from Birchgold. | ||
| I think they're giving out free Trump coins if you speak to them before the elections. | ||
| Make sure you text them. | ||
| We'll be right back with Rich Barris after this short break. | ||

Here's your host, Stephen K. Vance. | |
| Welcome back to The War Room. | ||
| We've still got the People's Pundit with us now. | ||
| Rich, we'll throw the graphic up on screen, but if you want to walk the audience through the latest numbers that you guys are putting out. | ||
| Yeah, I just want to say first, too, that if you would have rewind the clock about a year, Natalie, I would be telling people, and I've been saying this for years, that I don't think a Republican is going to win the popular vote for a really long time because of the way that the Republican coalition is overrepresented in the electoral college. | ||
| They want to put the graphic up. | ||
| We can tell them we did everything here. | ||
| The standard head to head, which means there's no generic other in the race. | ||
| We did do that. | ||
| And then we also did the entire ballot, of course, with Chase Oliver, Jill Stein, even Cornette West. | ||
| What we see here is that there's something that jumped right out at me, which is that it looks like Kamala Harris raised the floor of the Democratic candidate because Joe Biden was at such a low floor. | ||
| But when we would lean voters who were undecided, saying, look, if you had to decide today, where are you going? | ||
| Who are you going to vote for? | ||
| Then Biden would do better with the leaning voters and he would catch up to Trump, but he still wasn't good enough. | ||
| This is the opposite now. | ||
| Trump is winning decidedly, winning the undecided vote when you push them, which makes this race look like this. | ||
| This is a bad position for a Democratic candidate to be in. | ||
| And Natalie, you cannot win the Electoral College if you're a Democrat, if you don't win by like three points. | ||
| I mean, there's an argument for that. | ||
| Just to give people some context, Joe Biden won by a little over four, and he barely won the Electoral College, right? | ||
| So in being in this position, you know, as we go into September, right after Labor Day, Is a bad spot. | ||
| It passed this prologue for any Democratic candidate because Trump is a strong closer and he shouldn't really even be at these numbers right now. | ||
| So yeah, I mean this is what we're seeing here and but most to me and it's not the most important number but is support among black when men has not really eroded since Kamala Harris became the nominee. | ||
| He has black women have gone back to the Democrat a little bit to look at the Midwest and he has a lead in the Midwest. | ||
| And it's a pretty solid lead. | ||
| And he's doing strong enough in the mid-Atlantic, which is New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, that we could tell most of that is coming from Pennsylvania. | ||
| So he's in solid position right now. | ||
| Solid position. | ||
| To play devil's advocate quite literally. | ||
| It seems that the Harris campaign out-fundraised the Trump team more than doubled. | ||
| They brought in $300 million in the month of August. | ||
| I think the Trump team was around $130 million. | ||
| In terms of those metrics, how do you square your polling with that? | ||
| Do you think that that is a threat? | ||
| Do you think these October surprises? | ||
| Where do you see these numbers continuing to go? | ||
| Sure, money matters. | ||
| I mean, there's no doubt. | ||
| But Republicans are always outspent. | ||
| Hillary Clinton got, you know, three to one, maybe a little bit more, three and a half to one over Donald Trump, especially from Wall Street. | ||
| A lot of that came from what we call Wall Street money, financial services and insurance and banking. | ||
| Joe Biden was almost six to one. | ||
| So it does matter. | ||
| But, you know, you look at what campaigns do instead of what they say. | ||
| You know, in Politico today, there's a... well, actually, it was really yesterday's piece, but it's rolling into today. | ||
| They're out there and going to New Hampshire, they're going to Minnesota, and they're using some of that money that she raised, you know, $25 million. | ||
| It's not a lot for a presidential campaign. | ||
| You know, to go and help down-ballot races. | ||
| Let me just tell you, that's a load. | ||
| $25 million for her is a drop in the bucket. | ||
| She's not helping down-ballot races. | ||
| She's shoring up blue states. | ||
| She's going to New England because she's worried about Maine and New Hampshire. | ||
| She's going to Minnesota because, as even the local polling agency there found for their news agency, her lead last month was twice what it is now in Minnesota. | ||
| And again, it's like we've seen this movie before, you know, where all of a sudden a 10 point lead starts to get cut very quickly. | ||
| If I was Kamala Harris, she got no bump in that convention. | ||
| If I was her, I would have felt a lot better if I came out of there with like an 8, 10 point media poll lead. | ||
| Instead, she got an even race with us. | ||
| She got a one point lead with Quinnipiac. | ||
| It's just not, it's not a great place to be. | ||
| And it doesn't mean, you know, that's going to happen again. | ||
| The past is prologue for sure. | ||
| It doesn't necessarily guarantee Donald Trump's going to outperform in the polls, but that's what he tends to do. | ||
| And I can tell you from looking at the data, it's always certain voters. | ||
| And we can see it already. | ||
| I mean, we can see the hand. | ||
| It's like the handwriting's on the wall. | ||
| Don't rest on your laurels if you're a Trump supporter out there. | ||
| That's not what I'm telling you to do. | ||
| But I am telling you that, you know, he's not going to win white voters in the Midwest by 10 points like the New York Times poll is showing. | ||
| That's ludicrous. | ||
| That's a response bias. | ||
| And that's what happened to them last time. | ||
| So I really do feel like we're on the money here. | ||
| We're on the money. | ||
| We got a good grasp of where this race is right now. | ||
| Indeed. | ||
| Richard Barris, if people want to follow you, get all of your crosstabs, get all the data. | ||
| Where can they go to do that? | ||
| It's up on Locals right now. | ||

|
Yep. | |
| Head on over there. | ||
| I like the picture. | ||
| Richard, thank you so much for joining us. | ||
| We'll have you back on. | ||
| Anytime. | ||
| Thanks, Natalie. | ||
| Have a great night. | ||
| You too. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| I think the most interesting part to me of the whole Russia, Russia, Russia indictment is that they allege that the narrative that the United States is in decline, that, you know, crime is decimating our cities, that apparently white Americans are under attack by diversity, equity and inclusion policies, that affirmative action is really shaking this country to the core in terms of a competency crisis, that all of that is somehow an astroturfed Russian disinformation campaign. | ||
| No, that's called the lived experience of American voters, the lived experience of Americans here in this country, the lived experience of living in a country with a wide open porous southern border and a regime that doesn't just aid and abet, but actively welcomes an invasion into this country of people who do not have our interests, not even in their hearts. | ||
| Frankly, they're national security threats and they're probably sleeper cells in waiting. | ||
| I don't know about you guys, I don't really ever wanna hear the word Russia when it comes to political discourse, frankly, ever again. | ||
| The only time I wanna hear it is if we're ever talking about how the policies of the Biden regime have turned this country, have turned my economic reality, especially my generation, into nothing more, like Stephen K Bannon always says, than the lived experience of Russian serfs. | ||
| We might be better fed, better clothed, better housed, maybe. | ||
| But when it comes to the real numbers, to the actual reality, to the lived experience, especially when you add the political persecutions in there, it's not that much better. | ||
| I don't think we should be casting stones at Russia when we're busy locking up political enemies and political opposition because they're apparently anti-democratic. | ||
| Yeah, Stephen K. Bannon's pretty anti-democratic according to the Biden regime. | ||
| Don't think we should be casting stones. | ||
| Someone who I think knows firsthand how the Biden regime is working overtime to send Americans spiraling down the trajectory of Russian serfs, at least when it comes to their pocketbooks and wallets is Philip Patrick of Birch Gold. | ||
| Philip Patrick, we know Kamala Harris is putting out her new tax plan. | ||
| I think it's higher tax rates than communist China. | ||
| I might be mistaken on that. | ||
| But can you walk us through the ramifications, what that means here at home? | ||
| Yeah, it's not good at all. | ||
| I think stepping over dollars to pick up cents is probably a decent summary. | ||
| But, you know, she proposed several tax policies aimed at increasing revenue essentially from capital income. | ||
| So just some highlights or lowlights, if you will. | ||
| She wants to quadruple the stock buyback tax, so increase the current stock buyback tax from 1% to 4%, estimated to raise about $150 billion over the next 10 years. | ||
| Increase ordinary capital gains and dividend taxes, raising from 20 to 28%. | ||
| This is estimated to generate about $100 billion over the next decade. | ||
| She wants to enact a 25% minimum tax on high wealth households, projected about half a trillion, 500 billion over the next 10 years. | ||
| And of course, capital gains tax at death. | ||
| Following on from Biden's proposal, estimated to generate around another $150 billion over the next decade. | ||
| So, you know, all of this is estimated to generate about $750 to $900 billion over the next 10 years. | ||
| For some context, that's less than we're paying on debt service payments this year alone, right? | ||
| And we have to remember that these tax cuts don't come without consequences. | ||
| Tax Foundation has estimated that it's going to reduce economic output by 1.6% and cost over 650,000 jobs over the next 10 years. | ||
| And the reality is it's hard to get a handle on these numbers. | ||
| They're astronomical. | ||
| So I did a little bit of back of the envelope math. | ||
| In order to pay for a single year's deficit, the federal government would have to impose 100% tax on everyone earning over $100,000 a year. | ||
| So My question to the administration is this. | ||
| Why are you targeting successful Americans rather than reining in spending, right? | ||
| Soak the rich is not an economic policy. | ||
| It is a call to class warfare. | ||
| But the problem is the cuts are not even going to help the working class, right? | ||
| All they're going to do is increase deficits, further destroy the dollar's purchasing power. | ||
| And we have to remember inflation punishes the working class the most. | ||
| This is just a shell game. | ||
| All this plan does is expand government control through wealth distribution, raises taxes on high earners, and punishes small business owners who are responsible for half of the jobs in the US. | ||
| It's an absolute nonsense, and as you may be able to tell, it's left me rather incensed. | ||
| Well, and they're very well aware of this. | ||
| There was a story in Axios a few weeks ago where they talked about how the White House is no longer relying really on the input of PhDs and economists, but rather, catch this, consulting Gen Z staffers that they've dubbed vibrarians to read TikTok trends about how Americans are feeling about the economy. | ||
| Shock value aside, the buried lead there being they don't actually care about fixing the economy. | ||
| They just want to wage psychological warfare, right, and make people think that their lived reality is better than it actually is. | ||
| Obviously, gold and silver have always been a hedge against that. | ||
| So, you know, why should the Warren posse, if they want to get in contact with you, how can they do that? | ||
| And why do you think now really is the time to do that? | ||
| Look, I mean, we've discussed a lot of the realities of the economy in front of us. | ||
| We have inflation. | ||
| We have a world running away from the U.S. | ||
| dollar for the first time in our lifetimes. | ||
| And we have an administration that only seems to care about buying votes. | ||
| As you say, there is no real economic plan. | ||
| And without a plan, the problems will get worse. | ||
| So we need Trump in 24. | ||
| We all know it. | ||
| We need it badly. | ||
| Until then, and to sort of hedge against the disasters of this administration, everyone can get information by going to birchgold.com forward slash Bannon. | ||
| That's going to get them information on how and why to invest in precious metals. | ||
| There isn't a better time than now. | ||
| I've said before, we need Trump. | ||
| He can turn the trajectory, he can put the ship in a better direction, but we have some tough times to weather. | ||
| Trump is many things, but he's not a magician. | ||
| He cannot make the debt disappear overnight. | ||
| We're going to have a tough storm to weather, and precious metals are the way to do it. | ||
| So birchgold.com forward slash Bannon. | ||
| Philip Patrick, thank you so much for joining us. | ||
| We'll have you back on soon. | ||
| Thanks, Natalie. | ||
| It's always information warfare with these people and it's always projection. | ||
| Just today, the Biden regime actually putting out a press release celebrating the fact that they secured the release of 135, catch this, political prisoners, that's right, that's the term they used, from Nicaragua who dared to use their rights to have freedom of expression when it came to protesting. | ||
| The same regime that's locked up 1,500-plus Americans for January 6th. | ||
| Countless of Trump's allies. | ||
| Trump himself, probably, on September 18th. | ||
| And the loudest line of applause at the DNC was when they played the Hollywood-produced montage of the January 6th nightmarish fever dream, when it was the slide where they celebrated over 1,500 of their fellow Americans being locked up for peacefully and patriotically protesting on January 6th. | ||
| So don't mind if I don't take that press release at face value. | ||
| We'll be back after this short break, but in the meantime, make sure you check out hometitlelock.com. | ||

We'll be right back after this short break. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bann. | ||
| Welcome back to The War Room, where of course, told our existential threat is climate change, | ||
| so much so that the new climate engagement director of the Harris campaign is an alum | ||
| of, you guessed it, Bernie Sanders' office. | ||
| I'm sure nothing radical is going to come out of that appointment, let alone should they win or steal it. | ||
| I'd argue the true existential threat that we're up against is the globalist ruling class in conjunction with the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| Bit of an overlap there. | ||
| Someone who knows that very well is Dr. Karen Sigmund, who's kind of gone on tour. | ||
| You've hit the road going coast to coast doing your World War III tour. | ||
| It has a nice ring to it, but when you actually take a step back, you realize it actually doesn't. | ||
| But I'm going to be headlining, or not headlining, but I'll be at one of your events in Milwaukee, but I wanted you to come on and tell the audience about the events you're putting on, who's going to be there, how they can attend, and get involved. | ||
| Yeah, thank you, and the perfect intro to it. | ||
| The Globalist Chinese Communist Party absolutely are aligned to taking us down, and you mentioned the elites as well. | ||
| There is an alignment there, and we are hosting our fourth on-the-road event, World War III, the Early Years. | ||
| So how this came about was last year, in 2023, we held an event, World War III, the Early Years. | ||
| I was putting this all together, trying to figure out how to address all the threats that we're facing, because they are myriad and from every possible direction. | ||
| They are the globalists, the Chinese Communist Party, the open border, enemies within. | ||
| There was the hotspot at that time, Ukraine. | ||
| There's the war on energy, war on the dollar, war on education, on science, you mentioned climate change. | ||
| There's the war on absolutely everything. | ||
| And when you put it all together, I was actually talking to Steve Bannon about this and said, you know, I understand the whole constellation of threats, but I can't really come up with a perfect title. | ||
| And he said, boom, World War III, the early years. | ||
| And that was just that absolutely nailed it because it is a global war. | ||
| It is on all fronts and the implication, which is rightly so, that we are in it. | ||
| This is not impending. | ||
| This is happening right now. | ||
| and it is a war that we appear to be losing, or at least are on our back foot about it, | ||
| without everybody even completely comprehending that this is so. | ||
| Sun Tzu had said, the best kind of war is to subdue your enemy | ||
| without firing a shot. | ||
| And that's been exactly what's happened. | ||
| The two Chinese Communist Party colonels had said unrestricted warfare is really the way to go, which is everything up to and including kinetic war. | ||
| And that can include taking over all our institutions, fentanyl, borders, a little disease called the Wuhan virus. | ||
| Everything that they're doing, that can all be construed as part of unrestricted warfare. | ||
| So last year we did this conference, and it was two days and deemed so crucially important that we have been taking it on the road. | ||
| We took it to Atlanta, to Charlotte, to Scottsdale, and now we're coming up on Milwaukee, and then we're going to be doing Philadelphia the first week of October. | ||
| What we're trying to do, I mean, you know this as well as anybody, or better. | ||
| The media, education, every vehicle for transmitting information chooses instead to conceal factual information and to send out, you know, horror stories about climate change and so on. | ||
| So what we're attempting to do is educate by taking this on tour with an A-team of speakers and experts and just passionate patriots, taking this to people who are still It appears from all responses that we get, just starving for this information. | ||
| When we bring it, they absolutely love it. | ||
| So it's a day-long conference, the one in Milwaukee will as well, a day-long conference where we address many of those issues. | ||
| In one day, you can't address the entirety of World War III. | ||
| But in large part, China We have Frank Gaffney, Brian Kennedy, Brad Thayer, Trevor Loudon, and others. | ||
| Jeff Nyquist, all of whom I believe are frequent War Room guests. | ||
| That's about China and the globalists coming together one way or another. | ||
| We have Robert Spencer talking about the red-green axis. | ||
| We have Steve Coghlan talking about political warfare and the greater image of it. | ||
| Todd Bensman, of course, talking about the border, which is obviously a crucial aspect. | ||
| And we are more than delighted to have you, Natalie, coming to join us as well. | ||
| So it's going to be a day-long event with you know all your all your war room favorites | ||
| The best of the best and and Natalie that's how we'll pitch an audience | ||
| If the if the audience I'm honored to even be in company with those miles smarter than me | ||
| But if the audience wants to come attend what's the website that they can go to to get tickets to to to be there? | ||
| Right, and I left out Peter McIlvenna coming from the UK to talk about the war on free speech yet | ||
| another aspect of this Find us at the American Freedom Alliance org | ||
| There's more information and links with bios and all kinds of, all details related to it. | ||
| It will be September 14th, next Saturday. | ||
| Back in Milwaukee, home of the RNC. | ||
| Yes, Dr. Singman, thank you so much for joining us. | ||
| We'll have you back on. | ||
| Have a good one. | ||
| Mike Lindell, I've been told that you're wearing a bathrobe. | ||
