| This is what you're fighting for. | ||
| I mean, every day you're out there. | ||
| What they're doing is blowing people off. | ||
| If you continue to look the other way and shut up, then the oppressors, the authoritarians get total control and total power. | ||
| Because this is just like in Arizona. | ||
| This is just like in Georgia. It's another element that backs them into a quarter and shows their lies and misrepresentations. | ||
| This is why this audience is going to have to get engaged. | ||
| As we've told you, this is the fight. | ||

All this nonsense, all this spin, they can't handle the truth. | |
| War Room. Battleground. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Welcome to the War Room. | ||
| Dave Brat sitting in for the great Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| We open every show in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. | ||
| Amen to honor and show respect for Steve, but we all pray for him every day. | ||
| I hope everyone's keeping that up. | ||
| We all wait for his return. | ||
| He is the leader. | ||
| He is the grassroots. | ||
| But we have one of his great friends in-house that's been a friend of mine for a decade now. | ||
| He taught me about the grassroots and all the issues at play. | ||
| And so welcome to the War Room, our great friend of the War Room, Matt Boyle. | ||
| Welcome, brother. How are you doing today? | ||
| Doing well, Congressman. | ||
| How are you, sir? Good to see you, as always. | ||
| Yep, yep. Doing great, brother. | ||
| Doing great. I'm feeling some momentum. | ||
| The debate last night, I want to get you on that. | ||
| You know the D.C. press circuit. | ||
| I noticed, as no political expert, but I noticed an absence of debate coverage on Drudge. | ||
| It's buried in It's nowhere near the top. | ||
| I went to the New York Times, nothing. | ||
| I went to Bloomberg, not much buried down somewhere in the basement. | ||
| But give us your reactions and then the moderators and just cover all the bases. | ||
| Thanks, Matt. Yeah, well, look, I think the first off big takeaway is the reason why you're seeing the establishment media try to move on as quickly as they can is because they know that J.D. Vance won the debate in a big way last night. | ||
| So the reason why that happened, both of the candidates, interestingly, came with a— Almost a mirror strategy of each other, which was they weren't going to attack each other. | ||
| And you didn't see them do that. | ||
| What they were doing was they were making the case against each other's running mates. | ||
| Just one of them did a really good job of that, and the other one didn't do so well, right? | ||
| Like, the one who did a really good job was J.D. Vance. | ||
| And I think the key moment of the night was when J.D. Vance told Walls on stage he feels kind of bad for him because he's got a terrible job. | ||
| Yeah. He has to whack-a-mole. | ||
| He has to attack Trump's record and lie about it when everybody knows how great the economy was under Trump. | ||
| And then he has to try to sell the terrible economy under Kamala Harris as somehow good. | ||
| Wall's made a number of mistakes throughout the course of the evening. | ||
| He called the current administration the Harris administration. | ||
| I know for a fact, because I was talking to some people there, that Wilmington, the Kamala headquarters, were cringing. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Wow. And frankly, I think the other thing that J.D. Vance did that was very strong over the course of the debate, and you saw him do this repeatedly, and you know this from when you were running for Congress, he connected the dots on immigration and how immigration is an economic issue. | ||
| It's a cultural issue. | ||
| It's a societal impact. | ||
| And he did that over and over and over again. | ||
| When they were talking about housing, he connected it back together. | ||
| To immigration. And then Walls tried to call him a liar on it and try to say that he, you know, cite a study or an expert. | ||
| And then J.D. Vance drops the bomb. | ||
| He's like, all right, I'll cite an expert. | ||
| How about the Federal Reserve, Governor? | ||
| Right? And then he's like, I'll put it on Twitter later tonight. | ||
| And the receipts came out, right? | ||
| Like, he went out and put the studies out there that show that, right? | ||
| Like, so it's just J.D. Vance had a clear command of the issues. | ||
| The other thing I would say about this that I think is really important, I think it's lost on a lot of folks, is that there are a lot of people who are very critical of Trump picking J.D. Vance as his running mate. | ||
| And, you know, a lot of globalists, a lot of people that are even Trump supporters that intend to vote for him, I think that this demonstrates that Donald Trump's judgment is very strong when it comes to who he picks to empower with key positions, whether it's vice president. | ||
| Everybody likes to focus on the handful of establishment Republicans who turned out to be weasels, right? | ||
| And no surprise to any of us who've been doing this for a long time that that's the case with those folks. | ||
| But the – and you see the handful of them out there, right, like the Cheneys and the Kinsingers and the certain staff or whatever. | ||
| But the vast majority of the people that Trump hired were really, really good people during the course of his administration, and they're very talented people. | ||
| Trump has an eye for talent where other people don't, and I think that – This demonstrates Trump's strength when it comes to this. | ||
| When you're electing a president, yes, you're electing the person who's going to be making the decisions on things like war, on things like executive actions, etc. | ||
| It's a commander-in-chief role. | ||
| It's a chief executive role. | ||
| But it's also the person that's going to hire 4,000 people across the federal government. | ||
| They are making decisions to do that. | ||
| And I don't think that Kamala Harris is prepared to hire 4,000 credible people across the federal government. | ||
| Donald Trump is, and he's done it before, and he'll do it again. | ||
| And I think that when he picked J.D. Vance... | ||
| Again, against the conventional wisdom, even among establishment Republicans, then I think that he's been proven right on this. | ||
| And so I think it speaks to Trump's strength. | ||
| In a very big way. | ||
| But again, from talking to the various camps—and I've had a lot of conversations. | ||
| I've talked to JD himself. | ||
| I've talked to people around him. | ||
| The thing that—the strategy going in was not to fight with walls. | ||
| It was to make the case against Kamala Harris, and I think he did a really good job of that. | ||
| Yeah, great analysis, Matt. | ||
| Let me go this way on you. | ||
| In the war room, for the past couple of years, under Bannon's leadership in the grassroots, the top three issues in the minds of the American people have been inflation and the economy. | ||
| And then you can tie in a lot of stuff there. | ||
| And then the border invasion, number two. | ||
| And then the endless wars, number three. | ||
| And then the deep state issues, you know, surround all of that mess. | ||
| And now it looks in the polling, if I'm watching the mainstream media, the life issue, the health care issue is getting in there. | ||
| What's your analysis of the top three issues to the American people right now still, especially in the key battleground states? | ||
| Yeah, well, look, I think those issues are the top three issues, right? | ||
| Inflation in the economy and immigration are either one and two, depending on which ones. | ||
| You know, which order, it doesn't matter. | ||
| One is one and the other one's two. | ||
| And sometimes it's immigration, sometimes it's the economy, and sometimes it's the economy, sometimes it's immigration. | ||
| The number three issue, I would say, is usually you see public safety and or, you know, the war, right? | ||
| Like people don't want to see war. | ||
| That is a major thing. | ||
| You saw that in some of the focus groups last night where some of the people, I was watching them across the media. | ||
| Where many of the undecided voters were talking about how they want to see someone who is going to be a steady hand leading the country because they're afraid of World War III. And frankly, World War III is not that far off, right? | ||
| And so if we aren't very careful. | ||
| And so that's one of the things that Trump has talked about. | ||
| I spoke with President Trump last weekend, and that was one of the points he made repeatedly over the course of our interview. | ||
| We were talking about The Muslim mayor in Hamtramck, Michigan, who endorsed him. | ||
| Trump is winning over people who are traditionally Democrats, right? | ||
| Like I said, that mayor, Amir Ghalib, who is the mayor of Hamtramck, Michigan, he's a Democrat, he's a Muslim Democrat, a Yemeni immigrant, and he endorsed Donald Trump over Kamala Harris because he was a leader of the uncommitted movement there. | ||
| Why did he do that? Because of peace, right? | ||
| He wants to see peace on the world stage. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. Yeah. | ||
| But the fact is, is that we didn't see Ukraine and Russia talked about in the debate last night. | ||
| I was kind of shocked that they didn't talk about that. | ||
| But you did see the moderators push abortion and health care into the discussion in a big way. | ||
| I don't think abortion is the biggest issue out there to voters anymore. | ||
| I do understand why it was in 2022, because the Supreme Court had just overturned Roe v. | ||
| Wade. But now that people have seen the aftermath of that and that life goes on and the sky didn't fall and the predictions of wide-scale doom from Democrats didn't come to pass, And people are seeing the voters decide on this in ballot initiatives around the country and their state, and they are making their own—charting their own pathway forward on life. | ||
| It's kind of fallen to, like, a four or five issue. | ||
| And then the healthcare issue, I don't think that—this was really fascinating to see J.D. Vance handle both of these issues. | ||
| They've been traditionally Democrat strengths, both abortion and life and the healthcare issue, right? | ||
| Like, whereas the economy, national security, immigration are Republican strengths. | ||
| But the way that J.D. Vance handled both of those issues was really fascinating, and he turned them into strengths, right? | ||
| I mean, he laid out the case of, look, he walked through how they tried to repeal Obamacare back during the Trump administration, but it didn't succeed. | ||
| And then so Trump ended up saving the program from itself, right, and ended up strengthening it to the point where It's Cervax, right? | ||
| And so the fact is, I don't think you are going to see any effort really by Republicans to go after Obamacare again. | ||
| If anything, what they're going to try to do is they're going to try to work around the edges, not get at the core of it like they were doing before. | ||
| And strengthen the program, right? | ||
| And that was the argument that J.D. Vance was making during the course of the debate last night, and it was really fascinating. | ||
| And then on life, he said that, look, Republicans need to better rebuild their credibility with women. | ||
| And it was a really deprecating moment. | ||
| But I do think that those have fallen off the Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. Yeah. | ||
| right? Like the economy is inside this election. And with the longshoreman strike, I'm shocked | ||
| the moderators didn't ask about it. They mentioned it in their opening, but then they didn't ask any | ||
| questions about it. The longshoreman strike is going to be a big deal. It's going to affect | ||
| the economy in a big way here right before the election. | ||
| And that, I don't know what the impact is going to be, but I don't think it's good for | ||
|
unidentified
|
Kamala. | |
| Yeah, well, that's where I was going next. | ||
| Get out your crystal ball. | ||
| And in terms of October surprises, right? | ||
| So you got the longshoreman strike. | ||
| You've got the hurricane and tens of billions being added to the defense budget at a whim. | ||
| And no money, no National Guard going down to communities that have just been destroyed, literally destroyed. | ||
| No presidential leadership. | ||
| No hauling out the guard. | ||
| We're sending our National Guard abroad to do everything under the sun except help the American people when they're in dire, dire need. | ||
| World War III, you mentioned Iran, Israel. | ||
| It looks like that's by no means over. | ||
| And then Russia and China and Iran are all allied right now. | ||
| And the press, of course, doesn't want to cover that. | ||
| That goes back to Obama and Susan Rice and that network. | ||
| And so just as the 30 days come on in here into focus, October surprises. | ||
| What should we be looking for? | ||
| Well, I'm kind of in the mindset that there aren't such things as October surprises so much anymore. | ||
| The closest we've seen to one of those last eight years in the last several presidential elections was the You know, Access Hollywood tape, Billy Bush Weekend is what Steve always calls it, right, like back in the 2016 campaign. | ||
| But you're in a situation now where there's a lot of people who have already voted, right? | ||
| Like, so not everybody in the vaccine party will still vote on Election Day. | ||
| But it's more of an election season than an Election Day now, right? | ||
| These sentiments that we were talking about in the last question there about the issues and so on and so forth, they're kind of like—it's almost like the surface of the earth cooling, right? | ||
| And they begin to gel. | ||
| Yeah, they still kind of move around a little bit. | ||
| The plates move around. It's really not like—there's not big movement that you can do in terms of the trajectory of things at this point, right? | ||
| So things kind of settle a little bit over the course of the summer. | ||
| That's why the Democrats' abrupt switch to Kamala Harris was—that was probably the October surprise, right? | ||
| Like, was them ditching Joe Biden and going to Kamala, but it happened back in July, right? | ||
| Right. But that's the thing, is that because ballots were out—I've been out since the beginning of September in some places. | ||
| And, you know, in Virginia, they've already got in-person early voting. | ||
| In North Carolina, absentee ballots are going out and out, right? | ||
| You've got the requests happening. | ||
| North Pennsylvania, Georgia, same thing, right? | ||
| And so what you're seeing is— Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. Yeah. | ||
| Everything, of course. But I'm not going to try to say that it will never happen. | ||
| But the idea that something big enough that it would change the trajectory of the race would happen, it just doesn't seem likely. | ||
| But I do think that the current trajectory is good for Trump. | ||
| I've laid this out in previous forums. | ||
| The numbers are looking strong. | ||
| Just yesterday, even before the VP debate, we saw polls out of North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona all show Trump in the lead. | ||
| Pennsylvania is tied. | ||
| There's new polls that came out late last night and this morning out of Michigan and Wisconsin. | ||
| Trump leads in both of those places as well. | ||
| So things are looking very strong for Trump right now. | ||
| And I don't know if any major thing could change the trajectory of this race at this point. | ||
| Yep. Matt, can you hang with us for a few minutes? | ||
| Maybe I want to go to Ralph Reed and get his take on the evangelical religious Christian turnout, maybe Catholic turnout as well. | ||
| And then I'd love to hear your commentary as well. | ||
| Ralph Reed, are you with us? | ||
| Welcome to the War Room. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I am indeed. Dave, good to be with you, my friend. | |
| Awesome. You too, brother. | ||
| Thank you very much for coming on again. | ||
| I know last time you were on, you said 80% of the door knocking and work lay ahead of you, which was just awe-inspiring. | ||
| So give us an update on that, and if you want to start off on your reaction to the debate last night. | ||
| And if that was at all energizing. | ||
| And then, you know, if there's some good news. | ||
| There's been, you know, some negative Nellies out there. | ||
| The Evangelicals aren't going to vote. | ||
| The Catholics aren't registered, etc. | ||
| What's the latest update, Ralph? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, we feel really good, Dave. | |
| I got to tell you, I thought J.D. was just fantastic last night. | ||
| I was, of course, not surprised in the least. | ||
| He's one of the brightest guys I've ever met in my political career. | ||
| And that's saying a lot because I've worked with a lot of really smart ones. | ||
| But he's also, honestly, he's a gentleman. | ||
| And I think that came through. | ||
| He's a good man. He's got a good heart. | ||
| He's in this for the right reasons. | ||
| I thought it was very interesting that Tim Wall seemed to kind of take a bit of a dive. | ||
| You know, he has been attacking J.D. in very personal and I thought unfair terms going into the debate. | ||
| And I thought it was interesting that he didn't really deliver a lot of that. | ||
| I thought he had a much harder job having to defend a failed vice president of a failed administration. | ||
| I mean, think about it, Dave. | ||
| You're walking out on the set. | ||
| On literally within 24 hours of Iran raining down nearly 200 missiles on Israel, on your watch, a dock worker strike, a southern border in crisis, and a war on the Eurasian continent with no end in sight. | ||
| So, he didn't have a good hand to play. | ||
| He tried to change the subject to Project 2025. | ||
| The moderators, you know, in predictable fashion, tried to change it to January 6th or Springfield, | ||
| Ohio. | ||
| That doesn't work, Dave. | ||
| I'm just telling you. | ||
| You've been out there, you've run for Congress, you've been elected to Congress. | ||
| Moderators reward candidates who talk about the issues that they care about. | ||
| And that is, overwhelmingly, the economy, inflation, the border, and crime. | ||
| And when you talk about those issues as a candidate, you're going to be rewarded. | ||
| And when you try and change the subject, you're going to be punished. | ||
| So I feel really good about it. | ||
| I can't remember when the last time I was on, but JD was at our event in Atlanta, I guess now about a week and a half ago. | ||
| He's in the zone. | ||
| I mean, this guy is getting better as a candidate every day. | ||
| I'll give you a quick update on what we're seeing in the ground game. | ||
| I was in Pennsylvania on Monday and yesterday. | ||
| I was on the bus with Dave McCormick, who's the Republican nominee for Senate up there and a dear friend of mine. | ||
| We did a Faith and Freedom event with him in Lehigh County. | ||
| And I'm obviously not at liberty to disclose publicly the polling that we're aware of. | ||
| But I can tell you that it looks good. | ||
| It feels good. | ||
| There's an enormous amount of intensity. | ||
| We have, through yesterday, our volunteers and paid staff, and by the way, we have 238 paid staff on the ground in Pennsylvania and over 400 volunteers. | ||
| Through yesterday in the Keystone State, we had knocked on 417,214 doors. | ||
| We've already reached over 4 million total in the battleground states, Dave. | ||
| That's four times the number we reached in all of 2016, and it's double the number we reached in 2020, and we still have 35 days to go. | ||
| We're going to reach 10 million by the Sunday before the election. | ||
| We're driving these folks, focusing on low propensity voters and helping them make a plan to vote, and we're nudging them to vote early. | ||
| Don't wait until Election Day, as you and I have already discussed in previous times when we've been together. | ||
| Yeah. Yeah. | ||
| Great, Ralph. That's a super, super update. | ||
| And also, what are we to make? | ||
| You know, MSNBC, the talking heads of Southern Poverty Law Center, Russell Moore, all these downers, right? | ||
| Talking within the Christian tradition about the Christian tradition. | ||
| And I just don't see it at all. | ||
| And so what's your honest appraisal of the evangelical turnout, the Christian turnout, activity in the church? | ||
| I think people are getting the sense of duty under God again. | ||
| The country's coming back with patriotism, love of the country, love of God, love of family, all the spheres God has ordained for us. | ||
| And it's just huge. | ||
| Tucker Carlson's out there. | ||
| Some of these celebrities turning toward God. | ||
| Jordan Peterson is getting very interesting. | ||
| Russell Brand, conversion. | ||
| There's just some stunning stuff going on. | ||
| So what's your feel as to—you're on the ground more than anyone in the country. | ||
| What's the latest view? | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're seeing a higher level of enthusiasm and intensity than we saw in 16 or 20. | |
| And we think they're coming. | ||
| We think they're coming in record numbers. | ||
| Donald Trump received, give or take, 24 million evangelical votes in 2016. | ||
| He received, give or take, 34.5 million votes. | ||
| Evangelical votes in 2020, about 10.5 million more than he got just four years earlier. | ||
| And we think, and this is conservative, Dave, we're looking at the turnout. | ||
| We're tracking the early vote. | ||
| We're picking up at the doors how many are planning to vote on Election Day versus how many are planning to vote early. | ||
| We already have that data from the doors. | ||
| And we think that on the low side, he's going to get another 3 million evangelical votes. | ||
| And on the high side, it could be as many as 6 million more. | ||
| And so they're coming. | ||
| They're coming in big numbers. | ||
| And we talked about this, I think, the last time. | ||
| Even bigger in some of those upper Midwest states. | ||
| You know, less so in a place like Georgia or North Carolina. | ||
| Yeah. Since Walter Mondale 40 years ago and that didn't turn out too well for him. | ||
| I don't know if you saw it or not, Dave, but Donald Trump posted on Truth Social and asked on Sunday the prayer of St. | ||
| Michael, which is a prayer that many faithful Catholics pray daily. | ||
| He's going to win the Catholic vote and he's going to win the evangelical vote with a minimum of 84% and probably higher. | ||
| Great. Back with Ralph Reed. | ||
| He's going to tell you how to get in the movement. | ||
| If you've been on the sidelines, Ralph's going to fill you in, how you can take action, action, action, be a force multiplier for the war room. | ||
| With the massive tax hikes proposed by Harris, an almost 40% top income tax rate, 7% increase to the corporate tax, a capital gains tax on unrealized gains, and the fact that she's proposing to add almost $2 trillion to a current $2 trillion deficit. | ||

All this nonsense, all this spin, they can't handle the truth. | |
| War Room Battleground with Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Back in the war room with Ralph Reed. | ||
| Ralph's been serving up some great analysis. | ||
| Ralph, I put up a couple slides that I knew would throw MSNBC into hyperdrive last week. | ||
| Eighty percent of Americans still identify somewhat as Christian, which is good news. | ||
| And then I put up a map, the distribution of voters, and the The entire South was smothered in evangelical red. | ||
| And then the Northeast and the coastline, you know, was a combination of Catholics and Protestants and the Green, the Mormons. | ||
| And so that, I think they are freaking out about this a little bit. | ||
| But for those, and I did that to show there's a lot of Trump voters who are not, you know, explicitly Christian. | ||
| And they think I get too evangelical or wonky on the show, etc. | ||
| But I'm trying to show everybody we all have to work together to save this country. | ||
| If you care about the Constitution, if you care about freedom, if you care about your kids and grandkids, we're all going in that direction, right? | ||
| And so the purpose isn't to do an altar call here necessarily, although I'll take it. | ||
| But why don't you close? | ||
| Tell people, even if they're on the sidelines, who should they be reaching out to right now? | ||
| How can they be effective to save the freedom agenda and to keep God alive in our society where we have freedom of religion, freedom of speech, everything we take for granted? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ralph Reed. Well, they've really got to do three things. | |
| They've got to, number one, pray. | ||
| We need to pray for our country. | ||
| And I would mention, by the way, parenthetically, Dave, we need to pray for the safety and security and the peace of Jerusalem and the state of Israel right now. | ||
| They are under a serious military assault. | ||
| And I'm just so grateful, you know, for the Lord's protection. | ||
| Yesterday, not a single Israeli citizen or civilian died from that missile barrage. | ||
| There were some who were killed in a knife attack and some other things that happened, but they were unrelated to the Iranian missile barrage. | ||
| So number one is pray for our country. | ||
| Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. | ||
| Secondly, persuade. | ||
| We're asking our activists and volunteers to get five additional votes of friends or family between now and November 5th. | ||
| Talk to your friends. | ||
| Post on social media. | ||
| And then thirdly, vote and get others to vote. | ||
| If people want to make calls into battleground states, if people want to knock on doors, if people want to canvas their neighborhood, they should go to FFCoalition. | ||
| That's FF as in faith and freedom, FFCoalition.com. | ||
| There's a button where they can go to donate or there's a button where they can go to volunteer. | ||
| And we need both. | ||
| We need workers and we need funds to pay our staff. | ||
| So if people will do that, canvas your own neighborhood. | ||
| You know, this is going to be all about putting hands and feet to our prayers to turn out the biggest vote of conservatives and Christians and people of faith in the history of modern American politics. | ||
| And Dave, think about this for a minute. | ||
| Think about the position we're in right now. | ||
| We're in better shape than we were in 20, better shape than we were in 16, better than in 18, better than in 22. | ||
| You've got to go back to 2014 to have a time when we were better positioned right now. | ||
| And we are still going to knock on 6 million more doors. | ||
| That's going to pick up another 100,000 to 200,000 to 300,000 additional new votes. | ||
| No poll is going to pick that up. | ||
| You're not going to see that in any media or other poll because that's the kind of stuff that drives turnout that can't be modeled in a media poll. | ||
| Yep. Ralph Reed, God bless you. | ||
| Thank you. It sounds trite, right? | ||
| Our founders said this republic can only stand with a moral people, a moral foundation. | ||
| It's absolutely true. | ||
| You see what's happening right now to the country, to the culture, to the kids, to the schools. | ||
| When you get rid of that rock, that Judeo-Christian tradition and foundation, the cracks are coming and they're huge right now. | ||
| So all political views are my own, but we just applaud Ralph Reed for life, well-lived, serving God and country. | ||
| Thanks, Ralph. Thanks for being with us, brother. | ||
|

|
Thank you, Dave. Good to be with you. | |
| You bet. Thanks for coming on. | ||
| All right, we're back with, I think we still got Matt Boyle with us. | ||
| Matt, you still with us? I'm still here. | ||
| That was really fascinating. | ||
| Good, good. Yeah, take a minute or two and respond to what you heard and then tell folks how to get a hold of you as well. | ||
| Yeah, so I would say that what we just heard from Ralph Reed is extremely encouraging, right? | ||
| So this tracks what we're hearing from other people on the ground in the battleground states around the country. | ||
| And this is the force multiplier that's going to make the difference and win the election, right? | ||
| So it's turnout, turnout, turnout, right? | ||
| So, you know, I've been emailing back and forth with Steve because he's, you know, currently incarcerated right now, but wrongly. | ||
| One of the things he keeps saying is, turn out, turn out, turn out, turn out. | ||
| That's the mission right now, right? | ||
| Like, there's not going to be another debate, right? | ||
| Like, this is over. Most likely here, right? | ||
| I hope Trump doesn't do one, because all it would do is give Kamala another platform to attack him in the establishment media. | ||
| Now it's all about mechanics and operations, right? | ||
| And turnout, turnout, turnout. | ||
| And so the numbers we're seeing from Ralph Reed, the numbers that we're seeing from other folks, the Pennsylvania Chase folks, the Turning Point Action folks, etc., etc., etc., all very, very strong. | ||
| And, um, so, uh, again, uh, there's a promising picture emerging, uh, and the polls are looking good too. | ||
| So, uh, you put all those things together. | ||
| I feel good about where we're at, but you know, we got to do the work. | ||
| We got what? 30 something days left here until November the 5th. | ||
| Um, and so it's all about ground game, ground game, ground game. | ||
| As for me, uh, just on, uh, true social at real map oil or on, uh, uh, Twitter X at We're good to go. | ||
| Matt Boyle, everybody go to Breitbart. | ||
| They've been leading and the strongest voice on the top three issues in the grassroots for a decade. | ||
| I follow them regularly. | ||
| Get out there and follow them. | ||
| War Room, Breitbart, just a great combination, folks. | ||
| Matt, thank you so much for being with us. | ||
| You bet. All right. | ||
| We are happy to bring on Eric Tietzel. | ||
| Eric, first of all, congratulations on your new title and promotion. | ||
| Why don't you tell us, let us know who you're with. | ||
| You got a bunch of friends that I love over there. | ||
| Let us know your new title, who you're with and what you're working on. | ||
| Well, thanks, Dave. I appreciate it. | ||
| Thanks for having me on the show. I'm the new executive vice president of the Center for Renewing America, a think tank that was founded by President Trump's former director of the Office of Management and Budget, Russ Vogt. | ||
| We believe that America is not what it has the potential to be, but we have hope that things can get better, and we're in the fight to do that. | ||
| That's great. What did you make of the debate last night? | ||
| And then why don't you tee up how that debate relates to the primary issues you think we should be driving? | ||
| I think it took about two minutes before America saw that this was the singular, most dominant debate performance that we've seen from an American politician in a very long time. | ||
| I thought that Senator Vance came across Just as he is, which is brilliant and kind and informed and ready to lead, unlike Mr. | ||
| Waltz, who did not come across as any of those things. | ||
| Yeah. So, Eric, on the war room, for a few years now, our top three issues have been, number one, the economy, the debt, the slow productivity growth. | ||
| But then, after COVID, the tremendous money printing by the Federal Reserve and inflation. | ||
| Then number two, the border invasion. | ||
| I think J.D. mentioned $25 million last night, the effect that has on a whole host of other things like real estate prices. | ||
| And then third, the never-ending wars. | ||
| Now World War III on our doorsteps with Iran, Russia, China, Nexus. | ||
| And then surrounding all of it is the deep state stuff, the woke and weaponized war. | ||
| The Deep State, the three-letter agencies, CIA, FBI, State Department, Department of Homeland Security, etc. | ||
| That's a lot to tackle for any group, but what are you doing at the Center for Renewing America? | ||
| Where are you pointing all your energies? | ||
| Yeah, is that all? | ||
| The tasks before us, they can certainly seem daunting, but we at the Center for Renewing America believe that there are opportunities, specific paradigm-shifting opportunities, to take a big bite out of the problems that we face. | ||
| Yeah. We're good to go. | ||
| Another one of the initiatives that we're focused on is the terror fight that we're about to enter. | ||
| And one of the things I take note of all the issues that you mentioned is they ultimately | ||
| boil down to who we are as a nation and where we stand with regard to the rest of the world. | ||
| And what you understand and what the viewers here understand is that for a long time now, | ||
| we have made policy choices with regard to trade, with regard to monetary policy, | ||
| that may work for a certain class of society. For people who live in big cities on the coast, | ||
| they seem to be doing just fine. But the average American has been completely left behind. | ||
| That's a choice. And it's time to make different choices. | ||
| And what we believe is that the flat tariff of the kind that President Trump has been advocating | ||
| is a major paradigm-shifting tool that could help us to rebuild this country and make us | ||
|
unidentified
|
great again. | |
| Yeah, I'm glad you brought that up because we get pounded on that issue a little bit, especially by the Wall Street crowd, right? | ||
| The Wall Street Journal, all these geniuses. | ||
| I was an economist for 20 years. | ||
| And it's a bit stunning, right, that the economic class, all the Nobel laureates, Krugman, etc., but the heads of Harvard, Princeton, Yale, UCLA, you know, the California system, MIT, they won't write on any of the top three issues the country's concerned about. | ||
| about. There's been no glaring siren about the Federal Reserve printing, you know, $9 | ||
| trillion M1 on the balance sheet. There's been no siren about $35 trillion in debt, | ||
| $50 trillion by the end of the budget cycle. There's been no total cost calculations at | ||
| all for 25 illegal immigrants. There's no costs associated or calculated with $1 million | ||
| dead and injured in Ukraine, and not to mention the economic expenditures there. | ||
| And so I'm just stunned. | ||
| And then when it comes to tariffs, it's not like we're celebrating tariffs for tariffs sake. | ||
| We're celebrating tariffs because China is a totalitarian communist surveillance regime. | ||
| That doesn't follow the golden rule, right? | ||
| As soon as they give us access to their financial markets, their Hollywood, their universities, their press, their media, boy, that'd be neat. | ||
| But in the meantime, and they're cracking right now, right? | ||
| I think they are seriously cracking. | ||
| And so I'm glad you brought that up. | ||
| That's one tool in the toolkit of the president of the United States who's here to serve the country as a whole. | ||
| And he's doing the right thing by doing that. | ||
| He's using that as a tool to get us on the right track. | ||
| And so why don't you say a couple more minutes on wherever you want to go with all of those issues. | ||
| I just try to tie together. | ||
| You nailed it. I think Senator Vance said this last night when he talked about the so-called experts who've been wrong for the last 40 years. | ||
| These economists, they went to school with the same people who told us to wear a mask and to social distance six feet. | ||
| So we shouldn't expect anything better from that group of people. | ||
| The reality is that the world is not an economic model. | ||
| This isn't a thought problem in a micro-econ class. | ||
| These are real countries. | ||
| Who are engaged in efforts to advance their national interests, especially China, which is a regional hegemony hell-bent on becoming a global one. | ||
| That is a threat to the American way of life. | ||
| It's a threat to the whole world. | ||
| We can't abide Chinese Communist Party control over the world. | ||
| We have to make different choices in order to prevent that from happening. | ||
| And oh, by the way, that same choice to Throw open the borders and turn our entire economy over to China has gutted the American way of life. | ||
| It has made it impossible for people in this country to afford to have kids, get married, buy a home, all on one income, maybe take a vacation to the lake every once in a while. | ||
| It's just not realistic anymore. | ||
| And that's the result of choices driven by this idea that if we just... | ||
| Open the markets entirely. | ||
| The most efficient allocation of resources will lead to global wealth for everybody. | ||
| And that has been proven to be a lie. | ||
| That's not to say that capitalism isn't good. | ||
| That's not to say that free markets can't be a tool for wealth creation, to make life better. | ||
| They absolutely can and they should be. | ||
| But they need to be designed in a way that works for us and for America's national interest. | ||
| That's what President Trump is about. | ||
| And that's the fight that we're engaged in at the Center for Renewing America. | ||
| Yeah, well, that's right. | ||
| And open markets. Yeah, our markets are open and China's are not or Russia and whatever. | ||
| So that's, you know, it's a cosmic joke. | ||
| Why don't you say 30 seconds, Eric, tell us about how do people reach a center for renewing America? | ||
| Say a couple of nice words about Russ Vogt, who never gets the all the attention he deserves in closing. | ||
| I'm happy to do that, not just because he's my boss and signs my paycheck, but it really is true that Russ Vogt is probably the most committed patriot that I know in this fight. | ||
| He has spent time in Leviathan. | ||
| And he is hellbent on bringing it down. | ||
| And because he worked inside, he knows how to do it. | ||
| And we're really looking forward to what comes next as he's unleashed to be able to do that. | ||
| As for me, you can find me on X at Eric Tietzel. | ||
| And if your listeners are interested, I also help to co-host a podcast called The Bully Pulpit Podcast. | ||
| Which I think will appeal to you, Dave. | ||
| We take a faith-based approach to news of the day. | ||
| It features a theological ethicist and a couple of pastors who put Jesus first, but who also understand that we don't have to be shy about being conservative. | ||
| Yep. Amen. Eric, thanks for being on. | ||
| Everybody look them up. We're going to hit Grace. | ||
| Grace, I think, is going to close the show out. | ||
| Grace, there you are. | ||
| Grace is the war room spark plug. | ||
| She makes everything happen on this show. | ||
| She works behind the scenes, and I'm glad to see her out in front of the scenes here. | ||
| Grace, tell us what every American should be doing today. | ||
| What's your call to action? | ||
| Okay, so War Room Posse, we're starting something big today. | ||
| We're calling on all of you guys to join a new campaign. | ||
| So every single day from now on, we need you to text or call at least 10 to 20 people in critical battleground states like Pennsylvania, Nevada, Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, etc. | ||
| So go to your phones right now. | ||

| He knows the power of the war room posse. | ||
| So now is the time to show it. | ||
