I mean, I think we always, that's the key fact here, you know, you can have a commanding performance, you can have a night like that, you can have a month of extraordinary vibes as she had, and this is still a country where roughly half of people are staring openly at a movement that is anti-democratic, that flirts with fascism, that talks about dictatorship. | |
| And about half of Americans, I think at this point with some amount of clear eyes and knowing what they're choosing, are saying, yeah, that. | ||
| And so she had a great night, an extraordinary night. | ||
| She's had a great summer. | ||
| But I think now there is, as they say all the time, there is a lot of room to grow still. | ||
| They need to translate all of this, the Taylor Swift of it all also, into a real movement that attracts even more people, that revs up their own people to vote. | ||
| Annan, I always talk about the need. | ||
| For us to figure out a way forward, to figure out how to be, after this election, if Donald Trump is defeated, to remember of those who supported Donald Trump, the words of Lincoln at the end of the Civil War, a much greater situation where 600, 700,000 people died because of the actions of the Confederacy. | ||
| But why did Lincoln say with malice toward none? | ||
| So, OK, so I got that and and I'm glad that Joe Biden went and showed people | ||
| you know what you know what that grace is like with the Trump supporter in Pennsylvania. | ||
| I mean, a lot of people might not have liked what he did. | ||
| I liked what he did. | ||
| I liked what it said. | ||
| I won America. | ||
| Let's work through this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So, all of that, let's put that right here. | |
| Now let's go over here and I want to follow up with something that you said. | ||
| Even if Kamala Harris wins, Even if she wins in an electoral landslide. | ||
| The morning after the election, we will be seeing close to 80 million Americans endorsing Donald Trump's view of America. | ||
| Donald Trump's autocratic view of America. | ||
| Isn't it something I'm grappling with now? | ||
| How do we put our arms around the fact that even if Harris wins, we will wake up the morning after With close to 80 million people endorsing Donald Trump's anti-democratic view of America. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I deeply agree with that. | |
| And the problem with elections is they're so important and there's a deadline that everybody's always focused on the immediate thing. | ||
| And what you described in some ways is the real work because, as you say, You know, we have a technology for getting rid of bad leaders, right? | ||
| And it's called elections. | ||
| If you have 80 million people who have now had eight or nine years of exposure to the authoritarian offerings of Donald Trump, this is not a new thing. | ||
| They've seen the ups, they've seen the downs, they've had him as president, like they've kicked the tires, they've gone for a very long test drive. | ||
| If at the end of that nine year arc, We are essentially still now a country where 80 million people want authoritarianism. | ||
| You're right. | ||
| Winning an election is not going to resolve that. | ||
| It's going to keep it at bay. | ||
| And I think there need to be people who are not immediately focused on November and who are freed from that work, who are thinking about the generational challenge. | ||
| This is a 30-year Bit of work. | ||
| This is this is an organizing challenge of a generation. | ||
| You know, I blame leaders, but you can't really blame your fellow citizens in a democracy. | ||
| You have to work them. | ||
| You have to invite them into a vision that is more compelling than what they're being attracted to. | ||
| I believe that very deeply. | ||
| And right now, 80 million of our neighbors And uncles, and aunts, and people you went to high school with, and people you are in a family with, you see at Thanksgiving every year. | ||
| 80 million of our people, who we share a heart and country with. | ||
| want authoritarianism, want this kind of white nationalism, and we have to win them back. | ||
| There is no long-term strategy to save this country but winning them back. | ||
| Right, I think the ability for this to be a monumental not only endorsement but opportunity | ||
| for celebrities to step in and try to move the needle, I think it exists here. | ||
| It kind of brings me back to the 1990s when Rock the Vote started. | ||
| It changed the way that younger people believed they could be involved in the American voting system. | ||
| Because back in the 90s, most young people thought, hey, that's what older people do. | ||
| They vote, that's not my thing. | ||
| Rock the Vote and celebrities really changed that approach. | ||
| Now is this only this endorsement right here where she puts out the image, puts out her | ||
| statement and encourages people to get more information? | ||
| That likely won't make a huge difference. | ||
| But because of her platform and the opportunity that exists here with her, if she is willing | ||
| to do more, whatever that may be, if that is a concert where your entry fee is a voter | ||
| registration ticket that you've done that, that could help move the needle. | ||
| The thing that I think is happening under the radar, not reasonably reported, and we'll | ||
| find out, is just the extent to which we talk about undecided voters. | ||
| I don't think there are many of those. | ||
| There may be a lot of unregistered voters. | ||
| And you think about how Harris may be tapping into those younger voters, younger women. | ||
| Think about the Taylor Swift effect. | ||
| I think Taylor Swift should go out and do concerts and make it free for anybody who's unregistered. | ||
| And if they show up, they have to register, do that, and swing states. | ||
| So I think the unregistered voters and the number of those that may be showing up may be the big factor in this election that we haven't fully accounted for. | ||
| This is the primal scream of a dying regime. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Pray for our enemies. | |
| Because we're going medieval on these people. | ||
| I got a free shot on all these networks lying about the people. | ||
| The people have had a belly full of it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
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. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? | |
| If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. | ||
|
unidentified
|
War Room, here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | |
| Dave Brat in the War Room with the great Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| All prayers going out to Steve. | ||
| Keep him strong. | ||
| We open the show to respect for him in the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit. | ||
| Amen. | ||
| You just heard Mr. Anand over there at MSNBC saying they have 80 million authoritarians to deal with on their hands. | ||
| I'm afraid to tell Mr. Anand, it's not 80 million. | ||
| I think it's more like 200 million Americans he's got to contend with. | ||
| The authoritarian piece is convenient language for Mr. Anand, right? | ||
| What they consider authoritarian is people who want paper ballots in fair elections. | ||
| That's the simplest way you can put it, right? | ||
| Please tell me what the opposition is to having paper ballots. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Then what? | ||
| You have a record, you go back, you do an audit, fair is fair, whoever wins, wins. | ||
| Whoever has the most paper ballots, right? | ||
| But they have a different view and they name-call, right? | ||
| In the debate the other night, you heard Harris, all political views are my own, calling Trump | ||
| every name in the book, every despicable lowdown name in the book. | ||
| And then she smiles and says, but we want happy dust. | ||
| We're full of joy. | ||
| We're going forward in joy while she puts down the leader of 100 million people. | ||
| I'm not sure if that's the best way to build respect and positive relationships and happy | ||
| dust across the country. | ||
| The other piece having to do with authoritarianism has to do with majority rule. | ||
| They want democracy, but they don't want majority rule. | ||
| It's very clear. | ||
| MSNBC, the globalist, the billionaire class, the elitist. | ||
| Ivy League, educated elites, they're all in the minority class. | ||
| What they really mean is they want to continue their Atlanticist rule, right? | ||
| Mike Benz, think Mike Benz, etc. | ||
| They want to continue minority rule in this country where a few family names have run this joint for the past 30, 40 years and they've run it into the ground. | ||
| The Federal Reserve is made up of elitists. | ||
| I don't know if they know average Americans. | ||
| They certainly don't have any heart for them, right? | ||
| So, to be very clear on the War Room, we want to return to our Republic. | ||
| We believe in minority rights, particularly the ones that come from God, the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. | ||
| And we want everyone to have that. | ||
| But we do not believe in minority rule. | ||
| The minority class who want to do transgender surgeries for illegal aliens paid for by you, the taxpayer. | ||
| We're not so much down with that project, right? | ||
| The minority does not get it's not even a minority, I think. | ||
| The percentage would be so small you couldn't count it, right? | ||
| And so they want to impose their will on us. | ||
| Just, you know, Harris the other night, right, she wanted to put down and demean the former president of the United States. | ||
| That was the goal. | ||
| And they're doing that to the majority of the United States as well. | ||
| They want to demean us, put us down, So that the central planners get their way. | ||
| More on central planning and economics in China's fall, which always comes about with the true authoritarians who want central planning. | ||
| But I got to get right to it with our guest, Congressman Andy Biggs out of Arizona. | ||
| Andy's with us. | ||
| Andy, what's the latest? | ||
| The SAVE Act is being pushed back. | ||
| I don't think you see much promise of that affecting this current election right now. | ||
| The Warhawks are demanding even more money. | ||
| $7 trillion budget's not enough. | ||
| So bring us up to speed. | ||
| Andy begs. | ||
| Yeah, let's start with what President Trump said about this. | ||
| He said you shouldn't spend any more money unless you have an, quote, absolute assurance of a fair election. | ||
| And that's that's right. | ||
| He is exactly right. | ||
| And the SAVE Act doesn't give you that. | ||
| It's an idea. | ||
| We actually already passed it out of the House. | ||
| But it only affects federal elections, won't affect your state and local ostensibly because We only control federal elections under the Constitution with certain exceptions. | ||
| So that's what's going on with that. | ||
| It doesn't look like that's going to pass. | ||
| So, it's not coming to the floor, but the people who are the war hawks, the neocons, what they're asking for is essentially the Biden 2025 DOD budget, which is a $25 billion plus up, which means that you'd be looking just under a trillion dollars for DOD. | ||
| Now, that's still below the interest rate, Dave, but the reality is they want that. | ||
| A lot of people are struggling. | ||
| I will predict to you that I suspect at some point soon you're going to see what we call the clean CR. | ||
| It's going to have very little change in it, but it's going to perpetuate the Inflation Reduction Act, which was a massive, massive overspend. | ||
| It has all the bad policies in it, like EV, charging stations, Green New Deal garbage, DEI stuff, Planned Parenthood, and abortions still get money out of that. | ||
| That's what's the problem with the CR. | ||
| You know, I offered an amendment, not to get crazy on this, but a couple days ago I offered some amendments. | ||
| Two of the amendments went to this. | ||
| Basically encompassed in this was Jack Smith couldn't continue his prosecutions and civil suits against Donald Trump. | ||
| And it was killed by my Republican colleagues actually. | ||
| Unbelievable. | ||
| We got about a minute to go. | ||
| The Warhawks always only ask for more money. | ||
| Have you seen any signs that they are looking at just U.S. | ||
| military strategy and the vision for how to overcome our adversaries without money? | ||
| For example, China threatened them, tell them you're not going to have any part in our financial markets going forward unless you cool it. | ||
| Are our big brains up there thinking in this way at all or do they just want more money for the big defense industries? | ||
| They want that big money from the defense industry, number one. | ||
| And this is China week, by the way, so we're doing all kinds of bills that nibble around the edges there. | ||
| Yeah, but it would be nice to just basically lay the lumber on China. | ||
| So, you know, Dave, the military-industrial complex that President Eisenhower warned us about, by the way, he was no fiscal hawk either, but what he warned us about this, it really is true. | ||
| It really is true. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| How do folks read you, Andy? | ||
| What should people be looking at this week? | ||
| Where can they follow your thinking and writings? | ||
| Biggs.house.gov. | ||
| You can go to any of the social media sites. | ||
| I'm on all of those. | ||
| Rep. | ||
| Andy Biggs. | ||
| I was actually working on an op-ed piece shortly before I came on down to visit with you, Dave, and if it can't get published someplace, which I often can't, I'll put it out on my site and you can see it. | ||
| I'll try to keep people posted. | ||
| I've got some videos that I'll be putting out today as well. | ||
| Great, great. | ||
| Thanks for being with us. | ||
| I know you've got to run off to vote. | ||
| We appreciate all you do in the Congress. | ||
| Keep the heat on. | ||
| Keep the Freedom Caucus hard. | ||
| And tell the other guys to emphasize in China Week what Stephen K. Bannon always says. | ||
| We're in unrestricted warfare. | ||
| They're in unrestricted warfare against us using economics, soft power, cyber warfare information. | ||
| And we're not. | ||
| We're asleep. | ||
| And so thanks for all you do, Andy. | ||
| You bet. | ||
| Thanks, Dave. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Dave, appreciate it. | |
| It's almost exactly reversed. | ||
| It's quite remarkable. | ||
| At least he had some numbers in his head. | ||
| They just were the wrong ones for the wrong thing. | ||
| So the fact is that Europe has been far more generous to Ukraine as we have been, over | ||
| $180 billion to Ukraine. | ||
| We are limping along. | ||
| I shouldn't say limping along because it's a reasonable amount of money. | ||
| We are sending $100 billion. | ||
| And you know, this whole little flatline piece here, you remember the whole fight last spring | ||
| about whether to give them money at all, and it barely, barely got done at all. | ||
| And so we are by far the laggards in who's contributing more to the Ukraine problem. | ||
| Back in the war room, Dave Brat with great Dave Walsh, our energy expert. | ||
| We had full spectrum energy dominance back under President Trump. | ||
| We've since abandoned that strategy. | ||
| We have international repercussions due to that. | ||
| We have wars and repercussions due to our energy policy. | ||
| We have low productivity in the economic sector. | ||
| And now we have rolling blackouts in California. | ||
| Dave Walsh has been forecasting and predicting for years. | ||
| He's told us what's coming if we continue this strategy. | ||
| So Dave, lay it out roughly and tie it to the politics. | ||
| When are the people in California going to say enough of these experiments? | ||
| You're killing us. | ||
| Literally. | ||
| Welcome, Dave. | ||
| Thanks for having me, Dave. | ||
| Well, continuous Democrat experiments in California with energy since Reagan was governor have led to the cessation of building nuclear power there. | ||
| The Diablo Canyon power plant by PG&E was supposed to be ultimately 8,000 megawatts, 8 units, stopped at 2 because of the Sierra Club. | ||
| Jane Fonda, Jackson Brown latched themselves to the plant gate, put a stop to expanding that further. | ||
| The Songs Nuclear Power Plant in San Onofre was shut down about six years ago. | ||
| 3,000 megawatts supported several million Southern Californians. | ||
| In the late 80s to mid 90s, coal-fired generation was stopped in California. | ||
| No new builds. | ||
| B, shut down all of that, baseload energy, coal plants. | ||
| And then now, in the last 10 years, an aggressive battle against any new conventional clean combined cycle gas power plants in California. | ||
| This has led to California is dependent on 36% of its electricity being imported, beggar thy neighbor, from Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico. | ||
| Imports of electricity aren't able to be regulated by the Public Service Commission in quantity nor cost, so they no longer have any control over the cost of those inputs being purchased from neighboring states because of their hatred of deemed nuclear coal and gas, and are attempting to get by on between the imports and what they have in California, a 36% mix of solar power, which, like the rest of the states, is non-operational after 430. | ||
| The duck curve, California demand for electricity, increases to max capacity between 4 p.m. | ||
| and 9 p.m. | ||
| 90% of that time, there is no solar power. | ||
| Therefore, massive shortages began emerging two years ago. | ||
| Now they're growing and growing with multiple, multiple outages because of lack of electricity in the system. | ||
| As they are 36% an importer of what they don't have, massive shortage, and B now, a lot of that is solar, which is non-operational after 4.30 and not until then, 9 the next morning. | ||
| So, you have an energy disaster that this presidential candidate wants to model across the country, is one of the major, major frightening aspects of this candidacy, of Kamala. | ||
| Yeah, you just made clear something I had no idea of, which makes perfect sense. | ||
| So they're roughly importing 40% of their energy needs into California, right? | ||
| One of the wealthiest states with the ability to do whatever they want if they got their head straight. | ||
| So they're importing 40%. | ||
| And so what's the political calculus there? | ||
| That makes them look good because they can do all the green initiatives, right? | ||
| Play team ball with team blue. | ||
| All political views are my own. | ||
| Bring in all the money to the federal government. | ||
| Dole it out to your friends and political allies. | ||
| And then throw the consumer of electricity and power under the bus with higher prices and costs and say, hey, we're constrained. | ||
| They made us do it. | ||
| Is that roughly how it works, Dave? | ||
| Yeah, they're in the top five states in the nation in retail electricity cost for ratepayers because of this at about 26 cents a kilowatt hour but double the national average in cost and again because the Public Service Commission has no control over generation sources out of state. | ||
| Nevada Power Southern Cal Edison are charged by them, by Oregon, by the Portland General Electric, whatever they negotiate. | ||
| Public Service Commission has no control over that in California. | ||
| Therefore, all those purchased electricity inputs are at market that those states demand, and they know they've got a hostage client in California. | ||
| The Public Service Commission doesn't control the pricing of that. | ||
| And then they've gone to the battery storage thing, very costly, two to three hours a day. | ||
| Also, solar out there is a five and a half hour a day to six hour a day phenomenon. | ||
| Doesn't work the rest of the time. | ||
| But again, they deemed basic nuclear as dirty and dangerous, coal dirty and dangerous, gas dirty and dangerous. | ||
| We don't want any of this here. | ||
| Guess what? | ||
| For the last 25 years, they've imported massive quantities of coal-fired generation all the way from South Dakota, from Arizona, from New Mexico. | ||
| Oh, they've just legislated against that now, after 20 years of relying on coal power being funneled in there from other states, just to wear the badge that we don't make this here, to keep it a secret, now it's become actually known to import a huge amount of coal and nuclear. | ||
| So they've attempted to stop that too. | ||
| So they're in huge trouble. | ||
| But this is a model. | ||
| Yeah, I think you nailed it. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, that's where I was going to go. | ||
| OK, so in the debate, we didn't have any fact checkers on the blue side, just on the red side, which is just stunning in itself. | ||
| And so why don't you do a little fact check on the fracking in Pennsylvania, on the major issues that they didn't get it right in the debate. | ||
| Dave Walsh, fire away. | ||
| Well, they don't have to come out banning fracking, because they're doing it already, and they're doing it this way, through incentives on solar, wind, and battery storage. | ||
| Huge incentives promoting more of that. | ||
| By using the EPA to shut down combined cycle gas plants, shut down all the remaining coal plants, they're using the EPA to stifle demand for natural gas in gas-fired, highly efficient power generation that feeds 41% of the country's electricity. | ||
| So they're going to kill that off, And then with these decrees, such as in the Gulf of Mexico, they're positioned to shut off production there in December. | ||
| Comfortably, right after the election. | ||
| We've got a whale issue, the DPA has identified, to shut down production in the Gulf of Mexico. | ||
| So what these guys, these guys have many other avenues, and they know that, to completely, oh, and stop exports of LNG, with no new export terminals being permitted, that their DOE has announced about a year ago. | ||
| That's on hold now. | ||
| So they've got all these methods in place already to stifle demand for natural gas. | ||
| They won't need to announce a cessation of fracking. | ||
| It's going to happen anyhow if they're successful with their total war on baseload gas-fired energy. | ||
| It's horrendous. | ||
| Then the Europe thing, by the way, President Trump did mention with the $230 billion we've thrown in, European demand for Russian oil reached climactic levels in June and July of this summer. | ||
| Right under 60 bucks a barrel, the boycott threshold, Western Europe is now returning to buying record amounts of oil from Russia, supposedly our allies funding the war against Ukraine. | ||
| And have never ceased, the boycotts never ceased purchases of natural gas from Russia, which have continued unabated despite one pipeline being blown up, have continued unabated by LNG and other means into Western Europe the entire time. | ||
| So they're still heavily dependent on Russian energy and therefore paying in part for the war effort by Putin, our supposed allies. | ||
| There's no, there are no allies on this. | ||
| This is a, it's a myth. | ||
| of an allied group supporting us on this effort. | ||
| It's entirely U.S. | ||
| check writing by our citizens. | ||
| Yeah, somehow I missed that in the debate. | ||
| David Muir, I missed all those points you've just rattled off in the last 10 minutes that seem very consequential to U.S. | ||
| citizens. | ||
| Thank you, Dave. | ||
| Hey, Dave, how do people get to you? | ||
| And we got Dave Walsh coming out to Liberty University September 23 to 25 with leaders in every sector across the board. | ||
| Email me, you can go to bradeconomics.getter to find an email for me or contact Dave Walsh if you want to come see him. | ||
| But it's a great gathering. | ||
| And Dave, how do people get a hold of you? | ||
| I'm very pleased to be in the 1000 CEO Summit, Liberty. | ||
| Coming up will be a panel, I think, September 24. | ||
| Thank you, Dave. | ||
| You can find me on Getter, Truth Social, and NowX at Dave Walsh Energy. | ||
| Thanks for having me, Dave. | ||
| All right, Dave. | ||
| Yep, you're a national treasure, brother. | ||
| Keep it up. | ||
| All right. | ||
| We're going to get to Georgia elections right after the break. | ||
| Stay with the War Room. | ||
| But you just heard Dave Walsh on energy policy. | ||
| What's going on? | ||
| I mean, it's the most irrational policy you've ever heard in California. | ||
| They are basically importing 40% of their energy so they can have the badge of saying we're all green and then bringing in all the bad energy according to them and making you pay the price for that. | ||
| And that's what's coming to the country. | ||
| California always leads. | ||
| Stay tuned to The War Room. | ||
| Back in a couple. | ||
| Did you know there is nearly $1 trillion of infrastructure and pandemic funds yet to be spent? | ||
| That's right, there's a massive amount of money that the lame duck administration is pushing hard to spend in their last few months. | ||
| If Biden can push out these funds, we could see another prolonged inflation surge, just like during COVID. | ||
| And I'm sure you remember the terrible effects that high prices had on Americans and still do. | ||
| But there's hope. | ||
| A surge in prices can be beaten. | ||

Here's your host, Stephen K. Bound. | |
| One. | ||
| Dave Brat back in the war room. | ||
| Earlier this week, we had a great readout from Stephen K. Bannon to grace of War Room fame, and she said we got a problem, Houston, according to Steve, with low-propensity voters. | ||
| And Steve said, light up the alarm bells. | ||
| What's going on here? | ||
| And unfortunately, a large part of those low-propensity voters are called Christians. | ||
| And so we've got one of the force multipliers down in Georgia, of course, says reach across the entire country, and has been doing yeoman's work for decades in the fields on behalf of Christ, the church, and the country. | ||
| Well, my thoughts are twofold. | ||
| which is the way it's supposed to be done by everyone. | ||
| And so we want to welcome Ralph Reed to the show. | ||
| Ralph, great to have you on. | ||
| Why don't you open us up, any reaction you have to, since we didn't get any vetting by the media, | ||
| why don't you give us your vetting? | ||
| How do you assess the debate and the Kamala performance? | ||
| Ralph Reed. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, my thoughts are twofold. | |
| Number one, the most biased, unprofessional, and unfair broadcast of a presidential debate by ABC News | ||
| in the history of modern American politics since the beginning of televised debates in 1960 | ||
| with Kennedy and Nixon. | ||
| Um, you know, you. | ||
| You know all the facts about how they interrupted Trump repeatedly, quote fact-checked him with erroneous statements and false statements of their own. | ||
| You know, my favorite one of all, Dave, was when they asked Donald Trump effectively, you know, when did you become a racist? | ||
| And then turned to her and said, how did you make it feel? | ||
| How did it make you feel when he made that racist comment about you? | ||
| You know, you just can't even make it up. | ||
| But here's the good news. | ||
| The American people are not as stupid as the media and the pundits and the prognosticators think. | ||
| And they know that in spite of all that bias, She presented no plan to strengthen the economy beyond a $5 trillion tax increase and more spending blowouts and giveaway programs that are just more of the failed policies of the last four years. | ||
| On abortion day, she called for repealing the filibuster and passing the most radical pro-abortion legislation ever considered on the floor of the Congress. | ||
| that would impose abortion on demand at every stage of pregnancy, pay forward tax dollars for any reason or no reason at all on all 50 states, and repeal immediately virtually every common sense restriction existing in every state in America, including parental consent. | ||
| And on Afghanistan, she said she not only had no regrets, she said she 100% supported Joe Biden's decision and the execution of the withdrawal from Afghanistan, which humiliated our nation, killed 13 servicemen and women, seriously injured another 45, emboldened Vladimir Putin and our adversaries, and then they failed to be there for those who lost their loved ones. | ||
| So it was a performance that I believe You know, I believe you've run scared and like you're behind, Dave, but I really believe for the swing voters, for those low propensity voters that you were just talking about, on the issues, on the policies, she lost the debate. | ||
| They're focused on style points. | ||
| To those voters, what they care about is, what are you going to do to improve my life? | ||
| She failed that test, and for that reason, I believe you give this time, it will redound to Donald Trump's benefit. | ||
| Yeah, I think you nailed it on the performance part, the drama versus the substance. | ||
| You're spot on. | ||
| And, you know, it's an error the Christian community, the Jewish community, the religious community has been making for decades now. | ||
| We kind of assume in Christian benevolence and charity and kindness and virtue that, you know, like for the past 200 years, roughly speaking, the country fits broadly, at least, within the Judeo-Christian, you know, synthesis of, you know, Greek reason and biblical religion. | ||
| But now that is blown out of the water, right? | ||
| We've been going along with secular ethics for 20 or 30 years, the Christian Church has, this neutral, bland kind of stuff, where the left just asserts human rights out of thin air, and we've gone along with it. | ||
| Kamala, no one knows, you know, what God are we talking about? | ||
| Our God in the Judeo-Christian West is a very jealous God, who says in the First Commandment, I am. | ||
| I am God and there is no other. | ||
| We've been given no knowledge of who that God is and what morality, right? | ||
| When they're mentioning virtues and David Muir is pontificating about values and virtues and all that, what morality are you talking about, right? | ||
| Her dad was a Marxist professor. | ||
| Marxists don't believe in any morality. | ||
| They think it's fake and constructed by capitalists. | ||
| And they want to take it all down. | ||
| And so, before we get into the voter issues down in Atlanta, what's your analysis there, Ralph, on how Christians are being deceived, broadly, and how we need to open our eyes? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, I don't think it's really that complicated, Dave. | |
| You know, when the gospel is preached, okay, with boldness and with confidence and with the power of the Holy Spirit, it transforms lives. | ||
| And when those lives are transformed, the Bible teaches that they, through the renewing of their mind, develop sound thinking. | ||
| But if the church is not preaching the gospel, okay, and if the church is not sticking to the Bible, if it starts to bend in the winds of the culture, whatever that culture is, Instead of remaining true to the unadulterated, unalloyed truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ, then the church is basically no longer doing its job. | ||
| It's a country club with a steeple, you know, and that's what sadly has happened. | ||
| But here's the good news. | ||
| There are probably, I'm going to give a rough estimate. | ||
| There's no way to know scientifically. | ||
| I think there are roughly 200,000 Bible-believing, gospel-preaching Protestant churches in the United States. | ||
| We're distributing voter guides and about 113,000 of those. | ||
| We'll reach 30 to 50 million voters with those voter guides. | ||
| And I will also tell you that I have never seen the kind of hunger that I'm seeing now. | ||
| You might have to go back to 94, frankly, Dave. | ||
| We're having pastors contact us. | ||
| We're usually having to mail, call, and text churches and say, hey, these are free. | ||
| Will you please distribute them? | ||
| They don't advocate the election or defeat of a candidate. | ||
| They don't ask people to join a political party. | ||
| They just educate your flock on where the candidates stand on the issues. | ||
| They're now calling us, asking us for the information. | ||
| They're registering voters. | ||
| And let me tell you, we've already got Pew research data that shows that today, Donald Trump is winning the evangelical vote 82 to 16. | ||
| I think it's 82 to 15, actually. | ||
| He hit a high, an historic high, the highest ever recorded for a presidential candidate of 84% in 2020, and we've still got 54 days to go. | ||
| We've knocked on about a million and a half doors, Dave, in the battleground states. | ||
| We'll knock on 10 million. | ||
| So 85% of our effort is yet to finish, and the voter guides haven't even been distributed yet. | ||
| I am confident we will hit 84%, which is the 2020 record, and I believe we're going to exceed it. | ||
| Great news, Ralph. | ||
| Thank you for that. | ||
| You gave the ultimate answer, right? | ||
| Hearts are changed, renewing of the mind, logos, the word, thinking and speaking. | ||
| And so that's the real deal. | ||
| But you've also seen the trends in religiosity, And patriotism going down, you know, steeply over the past, you know, 10, 20 years. | ||
| What's our recourse there? | ||
| You know, the churches are preaching the gospel. | ||
| There's huge energy where you're talking. | ||
| But you got the MSNBC crowd talking to the low propensity folks that are country clubs with steeples. | ||
| What's our approach there to try and pick up some friends there and convince them to come our way? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I mean, it's a great question, Dave, and my answer is twofold. | |
| Number one, we've built a database working with our data partners of 45.1 million modeled evangelical Christian voters in the country. | ||
| Roughly 15 million, or about a third of them, are low propensity to mid-low propensity voters. | ||
| In the battleground states, that number is 26.4 million. | ||
| And around 7 million are low to mid-propensity voters. | ||
| And let's take it down to Georgia. | ||
| In Georgia, we have 1,825,732 modeled evangelical Bible-believing Christian voters. | ||
| Not that we're counting. | ||
| All right. | ||
| 732 modeled evangelical Bible-believing Christian voters. | ||
| Not that we're counting. | ||
| All right. | ||
| About a half a million of those have voted in one or fewer of the last three elections. | ||
| So let me tell you what we're doing at Faith and Freedom. | ||
| We're not ignoring the high propensity voters, but people like you and me, Dave, who vote in every election and every primary, you know, people who vote, I vote in runoffs for school board. | ||
| All right. | ||
| You don't need to call me. | ||
| You don't need to mail me. | ||
| You know, don't text me. | ||
| It's a waste of our money. | ||
| So we're taking the bulk of our resources. | ||
| We're knocking on the doors of those low-propensity voters. | ||
| After that first door knock, we send them two get-out-the-vote text messages, then we call them. | ||
| If they still haven't requested an absentee or mail ballot within two weeks, we show back up at their door and we say, look, I know I was just here a week or two ago, but we're monitoring the request for absentee ballots because I don't know how many people know this, but that's a public document and you haven't Made a plan to vote yet. | ||
| And I gotta keep showing up until you vote. | ||
| So that's the first part. | ||
| Focus on those low propensity voters and that's what we're doing. | ||
| Every one of those low propensity voters in an ex-Bourbon, urban or suburban zip code will get a minimum of two and sometimes three home visits. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| And then the second thing, and this is critical, Dave, I think we talked about this the last time I was on with you, People have got a plan to vote early. | ||
| We cannot wait until election day. | ||
| In 20 and 2022, we lost the early vote 68 to 32 percent. | ||
| That's like trying to win a football game where you're down three touchdowns going into the fourth quarter. | ||
| Every one of our voters has to vote early and get their friends and family to vote early. | ||
| That's the answer to how we win this thing on the ground. | ||
| Yeah, no, that's, you just gave, that was brilliant, and we are so thankful for the work you're doing to save our republic, Ralph. | ||
| God bless you. | ||
| We got another great Georgian coming up, following, but contact Ralph Reed. | ||
| Follow him and his group. | ||
| Stick with us after the break, back in 30 seconds with the War Room. | ||
| We've seen it time and time again. | ||
| Somebody exposes the truth just to be labeled a conspiracy theorist. | ||
| Realist. | ||
| Only to be proven right later on. | ||
| Well, let me tell you about the next thing you should be concerned about. | ||
| Government geotracking of your phone and other devices. | ||
| We've seen the government use geofencing to track the devices of individuals on January 6th, leading to unwarranted arrests without evidence of wrongdoing. | ||

| The reason why it doesn't end his career is because his supporters are just as despicable, alright? | ||
| Like, Trump's whole thing, he's a narcissist, right? | ||
| And so his whole thing is to have a complete lack of compassion and empathy for everybody else. | ||
| It's all about him. | ||
| That's why he lies about 9-11. | ||
| It's all about him, him, him, me, me, me. | ||
| He's probably the least compassionate president we've had in 200 years since Andrew Jackson. | ||
| And it works for him because his supporters are just as ungenerous and have just as little compassion and empathy for others. | ||
| So when he is seen out there, essentially, as you guys have put it, desecrating our national symbols, when he is seen out there putting himself above all else, his supporters also want that to be the case. | ||
| They want to do that in their own lives. | ||
| They want, that's how they think of themselves. | ||
| And that's why it never hurts Trump when he takes these crass and classless actions. | ||
| It's because his supporters think that being crass and classless is actually kind of cool. | ||
| Back in the war room, Dave Brat. | ||
| A lot of joy coming from joy. | ||
| The Chicago Democrat convention was full of joy until you walked outside the doors. | ||
| And they say we're despicable. | ||
| Half the country's despicable. | ||
| While they say we need to move forward with positive aspirations and hope. | ||
| On the war room, we tend to disagree. | ||
| We just heard from the great Ralph Reed. | ||
| The low-propensity voters across states are key. | ||
| Georgia is absolutely key. | ||
| All political views are my own. | ||
| But we got another superstar from Georgia coming to be with us. | ||
| Linda's been working the State Board of Elections. | ||
| She's been working on the Postmaster issues. | ||
| And so, Linda Sienkiewicz, welcome to the War Room. | ||
| Please share with us the great work you've been doing and why people should be energized and what they can do in these final months to get across the line and save our Republic. | ||
| Welcome. | ||

|
Well, thank you, Dave, for having me on. | |
| But I should qualify the fact that I'm actually from Connecticut. | ||
| Our organization Fight Voter Fraud is in 49 states. | ||
| But I appreciate that. | ||
| I mean, people in Georgia are absolutely wonderful. | ||
| One of the things that I wanted to remind people of is the drama that still continues down in Georgia concerning the three election board members that a month or so ago actually reiterated the fact that if there's one vote, there should be one voter attached to that process before the ballots are actually certified. | ||
| And what ended up happening is they ended up sending or having the Democrats with ethics complaints saying, you can't do that. | ||
| We don't want that done, which is ridiculous. | ||
| It's basically when you go on a plane, you have, you know, you're on a plane, you have one ticket, you want the number of people on the plane to match the ticket. | ||
| Well, they don't want them to do that in Georgia. | ||
| So all that was doing was just reiterating the law that's in effect. | ||
| Already on the books. | ||
| And Governor Brian Kemp had actually sent the ethics complaint to the Attorney General Carr to get his opinion, but the Attorney General kind of threw it back, saying just because there's a, quote, formal complaint does not mean that action actually has to be taken. | ||
| So it's just gotten really ridiculous with the Democrats. | ||
| And honestly, we're a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization. | ||
| But why do the Democrats in Georgia not want to have everything to make sure everything's all set? | ||
| I don't understand that. | ||
| You know, you want to make sure that the counts are correct, and they're doing everything they can to not have that. | ||
| Let's take care of it ahead of time, so then we don't have to worry about it later. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Linda, you just put your finger on it, right? | ||
| That shows the fairness and who the authoritarians are. | ||
| Well, you just described every business works that way. | ||
| Audits, making sure one person is associated with this account. | ||
| I mean, it's all perfectly reasonable unless you're on the left. | ||
| And so I think you also have some news on the postmaster. | ||
| What's what's the latest on that breaking story? | ||
|
unidentified
|
OK, so what's going on with that is the National Association of the State Election Directors in every state. | |
| And the National Association of the Secretaries of State combined and sent a letter. | ||
| To the U.S. | ||
| Postmaster General, Louis DeJoy, basically complaining about the fact that when the ballots go out, we've had an issue. | ||
| They're not being sent within the three to five days. | ||
| They're sending them back undeliverable to addresses that the people they absolutely know live there. | ||
| And what was really funny about one of the things that I read is that they're sending some of them back to the voters themselves, saying that the election offices don't exist. | ||
| I mean, it's a mess, and my question would be, why did they wait until September to send the letter? | ||
| We're getting ready to be sending out the ballots now. | ||
| The U.S. | ||
| Postmaster General himself, I believe, said they did have some issues that were going on in a report. | ||
| So these are all things that should have been addressed, but one of their spokesmen says, everything's fine, we're just ready to deliver. | ||
| So I don't know if this is setting us up again for a way out on election officials to say, hey, it's not my fault with what's going to go on. | ||
| Or is it really, truly the postal system that has a problem with 600,000 employees that are not trained properly? | ||
| But all of this affects us as voters. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Great work. | ||
| Great, great, great work. | ||
| And please share with everybody in about 20 seconds, how do people reach you and what should they be doing? | ||
| Where should they be going to take action? | ||
| Linda? | ||
